Chapter 118: The former young master
The Huo family's mansion
Goldman Sachs' motorcycle stopped in front of Huo's house, turned off the engine, took off the helmet and hung it up and got out of the car, raised his head and looked at the house where he had lived before, more than 20 years have passed, and there seems to be no change here, but the people in front of the door have changed, and the trees outside the yard have grown.
When I left, I was still young, I didn't know how sad, this walk was more than 20 years, I didn't expect to come back in such a way, there was no so-called excitement, and my heart was extremely heavy.
He was about to go in when he was stopped by the security guard at the door, who looked at his motorbike parked on the side and said, "Sir, you are not allowed to go in here!" "It looks polite, but it's clearly disdainful.
Goldman Sachs smiled bitterly, the home he lived in every day before, but now he can't go in, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the security guard didn't know him, and it was normal for him to look down on people a little bit.
He said, "I won't be allowed to go back to my own home?" ”
The security guard was a little shocked when he heard this, and looked carefully at Goldman Sachs's face that was somewhat similar to Huo Xiangji's and said, "You are?" ”
"Huo Xiangyan!" Goldman Sachs is actually the last to mention the name, but it seems to work well here. He almost forgot that he had another name like this.
The security guard immediately said very respectfully: "It's Young Master Huo, please come in!" ”
It's been a long time since Goldman Sachs has heard the term "young master", and now people don't seem to call it that! They called Young Master Goldman Sachs, they all listened to the people who had spoken before, and they would occasionally talk about the past together, when the servants in the family called him Young Master. So when he heard his name again, the security guard instinctively called out the title "young master".
Entering the door, the yard is even more beautiful than before, this somewhat retro yard covers a very wide area, the land was cheap at that time, Huo Qidong bought it with the money he earned, and built a house, until now such a large mansion is very rare in Qingzhou City, so the people of the Huo family have been living here, so that after they became very rich, they did not want to move out of here.
He walked along the road to the front, there are still many things in the yard that have been retained in their original appearance, the swing on the green space, although it is very dilapidated, but it is still there, it has not been demolished, seeing this scene he remembered a lot of things when he was a child, he thought he didn't remember anything, but when he came to such an environment, he suddenly remembered it again.
I vaguely remember sitting on my father's shoulder and playing together, remembering the scene of their family of three together, and I felt that it didn't take long, but my mother was gone, and he wasn't that young child. This is no longer his original home, and it has long since become his own.
Suddenly, a person shouted behind him: "Young Master! Is that you? ”
Goldman Sachs heard a familiar voice, he turned his head sharply, and there was an old man standing in front of him with a little vicissitudes, he couldn't remember who this person was, he just felt very familiar, and he was stunned.
The man spoke again: "It's really you, don't you remember me?" He smiled: "I'm Uncle Zhang!" "Goldman Sachs has liked to play with him since he was a child, so when he saw it for the first time, he thought that this person was a young master, and when he got closer, it really was.
When Goldman Sachs heard the name Uncle Zhang, he suddenly remembered that he was a housekeeper in their family, and now he was so old, he said, "Uncle Zhang, you are still here." ”
"Yes! Young master, you can come back after so many years! Madame, she really ......" There were tears in his eyes as he spoke, he and Goldman Sachs' mother were more affectionate than relatives, and he watched her go out with Goldman Sachs decisively.
Goldman Sachs patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "I'm back, I won't leave again in the future!" ”
"Really? Master! You're really planning to stay! ”
"You don't have to call me young master in the future, I'm not the young master before, you just call me Goldman Sachs. I don't live here, but I'll always be in Qingzhou. ”
"Good! Good! As long as you don't leave, sir, he has always been thinking about you, don't leave in the future, it's good to be by his side to accompany him. ”
Goldman Sachs just smiled and didn't answer much, and Uncle Zhang pointed to the house in front of him and said, "The master is waiting for you!" Let's get inside! ”
Goldman Sachs nodded and walked towards the house, and Uncle Zhang looked at Goldman Sachs's back and sighed: "The young master has grown up!" It's no longer the crying little boy he used to be. ”
Goldman Sachs strode towards the house, without the slightest hesitation, there was no hope on his face to go home, there was no expectation that he was about to see his father, his face was cold, as if he was going to talk about some business.
When I entered the door, I saw Huo Qidong sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and when he walked next to him, Huo Qidong felt that someone looked up and put down the newspaper in his hand: "Xiang Yan, I'm back!" ”
Goldman Sachs' heart was still shaken by his sentence back, but it was only for a moment, he said: "I came here today to ...... with you"
Before he finished speaking, Huo Qidong said, "Sit down first!" He gestured to the opposite position.
Goldman Sachs knew that Huo Qidong didn't want him to say it so directly, so he used a delaying tactic first. But still sat down.
Huo Qidong asked: "If I don't go to you, won't you come back, you're still angry with me." ”
Goldman Sachs wanted to laugh in his heart, which play did he sing, was it a bitter trick?
He said disdainfully: "I didn't plan to come back, this time, of course, because of something." ”
"I know, it's okay, don't leave after you come back, our Huo family's big family business, you and Xiang Ji manage it together."
"I won't manage with him." The words in my heart were: "What else do I manage and Huo Xiangji?" But the second half of the sentence only remained in my heart.
"Then you can start a new company!"
He replied indifferently: "No! ”
Although Huo Qidong's face was a little unbearable by his son's scolding, he still said patiently: "Xiang Yan! It's not easy for you to be outside for so many years, tell Xiang Ji what you want directly, and he will give it to you. ”
"Did he give me what I wanted?"
"The company is now managed by Xiang Ji, and he can give you whatever you want."
Goldman Sachs smiled: "He really wants to give, just don't pester one person again." This sentence came out in a very small voice, Huo Qidong didn't hear it clearly, he asked, "What do you want?" ”
"I want the company, I want the Huo family to compensate my mother, I want Huo Xiangji not to pester Su Jin, have you done it?" These are just the subtext of his psychology, there is no need to say it to Huo Qidong, and he doesn't think there is any need to say it to him, a ruthless and unrighteous person.
"Where have you been all these years? Why can't I even find you? Huo Qidong always asked where he went, but he never asked about his mother who laid down Donghe Group with him, which made Goldman Sachs very contemptible.
But he was about to mention: "We went abroad, and although it has been a little hard in these years, our life is humane." He said the three words human touch very seriously.
Goldman Sachs is talking about a hard life, but they have lived a very generous life compared to many people, his mother is a lawyer, runs her own law firm, a typical strong woman, but he lacks a warm home, lacks the company of his parents.
Huo Qidong said: "Qinghe, she is indeed not an ordinary woman, I know that you have had a hard time for so many years, but why did you refuse my help?" "Gao Qinghe, the mother of Gao Sheng.
Goldman Sachs shook his head: "We don't need help. I thought to myself, "A woman with a child, in the most difficult times, no one to help, does she still need his charity?" Since it has been abandoned, what kind of cat crying mouse fake mercy is still pretended. ”
It is impossible for him Huo Qidong to admit that there is anything wrong with what he has done, he has always been like this.
"Since Qinghe is no longer here, you can stay in the future! It's not easy to be out there alone. ”
"I'm not leaving, but I'm not going to stay here, I have something to do."
"What are you going to do? Can I help? ”
"You can't help."
"Xiang Yan, you don't have to complain about me like this, even if I don't separate from your mother, we won't be happy, you know?"
Goldman Sachs shook his head: "I don't understand. ”
While the two were talking, Memphy came back from outside, and she saw Goldman Sachs stunned for a moment, Goldman Sachs looked into her eyes, but didn't mean to talk to her.
Huo Qidong said: "Meng Fei, you go up first, and I'll talk to Xiang Yan." ”
Goldman Sachs stood up and said, "No need, I'll leave now." ”
"Xiang Yan, don't leave today and stay here, do you have a place to live?"
Goldman Sachs thought to himself, "Does he think of himself as so stupid?" Can't even find a place to live? ”
Goldman Sachs said: "There are outsiders here, and I am not used to living here." After speaking, he left, he couldn't face a woman who robbed his father, and he had to settle the account with Huo Qidong, and he would slowly calculate it later.
Watching him walk away, Meng Fei said, "How does this kid speak, what does it mean that there are outsiders?" ”
Huo Qidong comforted: "He has a complaint in his heart, it's okay slowly, don't take it to heart." ”
"I haven't asked you yet! Why did he suddenly come to our company's annual meeting? ”
"I invited him."
"Why don't you tell me!"
"I'm not sure he'll come, so I didn't tell you, Qinghe has passed away and it's not easy for him to be alone, so it's good to let him come back."
"I didn't say I wouldn't let him come back, you should have told me in advance!"
"Got it, not next time!"
Meng Fei couldn't be jealous of a deceased person, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Huo Qidong say the name Qinghe. Because of the prejudice against her from the outside world for so many years, she knows all this, although no one says anything bad about her on the surface, but behind the scenes, she is what people call the junior.
She wanted to clarify these things, but because of Huo Qidong's face, she couldn't explain them directly, she believed that people would always know the truth. But I am afraid that only she and Huo Qidong really know the truth, and even their own son, as well as Goldman Sachs, think that she destroyed the relationship between Gao Qinghe and Huo Qidong.
Although Huo Qidong and Gao Qinghe later had no relationship and divorced, they once fought side by side in the business world, and occasionally some people who know will feel sorry for this relationship.
Whether the relationship is suitable or not is only known to the parties concerned, and the scene of affection when going out together is just a scene later. The reason why Gao Qinghe hates Huo Qidong so much is because she really loved it, and she can't forget it, but the relationship between the two people is not supported by one person, the two have no love, and they have to use love to kidnap, which makes Huo Qidong almost out of breath.
Whether they have ever loved each other can be seen from the name of the company, Dong is taken from Huo Qidong's name, and He is taken from Gao Qinghe's name. The two used to have a good time, and they also felt that they had come through hardships together in this life, and they would not be separated when they became rich. But when parting ways, someone must give up first, otherwise where will the hatred come from!
This hatred even extended to Goldman Sachs, deeply rooted in his heart.
The complexity of feelings cannot be explained in one or two sentences, and so is theirs. Huo Qidong just doesn't love it, but he didn't betray it, at most, even if he is an unqualified husband and an unqualified father, is he at fault? Saying he's a scumbag, then why hasn't he blushed since he was with Memphy? In Meng Fei's heart, he is a majestic man, she admires Huo Qidong, men need to be worshipped, and he likes this feeling of being worshipped. Gao Qinghe is not wrong, but she has a strong personality, which makes Huo Qidong's feelings for her slowly wear off.
