Chapter 069: Reunion
A few days later, Lao Zhou's case was opened, and I wanted to go to observe, but Zhang Ruolei refused to allow it. I insisted, and then he compromised. One of the conditions was to accompany me. I didn't even think about it.
The defendant stood Lao Zhou, who had lost a lot, but his spirit was not reduced. I think there is a kind of person in this world, and the wind and frost sword can't break him from the bones. I couldn't help but applaud him secretly, and I was relieved.
When Lao Zhou saw me, his eyes lit up a little, and then he saw Zhang Ruolei, and the expression on his face became complicated.
After the trial, I met with Lao Zhou's lawyer, and he said that although he had no chance of winning, he was sure that Lao Zhou would come out early. But even if Lao Zhou came out, he lost most of the country, so he had no worries and no children, no debts, and a light person, so he naturally made money much more calmly than others.
When I was taken out by the court police, he waved at me and smiled. At that time, I finally understood what it means to experience a person, people who are accustomed to seeing the wind and waves must be calm in the face of the wind and waves, and only those who are smooth sailing do not know how to face sudden setbacks, and feel that God has failed them, and they want to die or live.
I can't help but feel ashamed of my past.
Su Bai finally settled in the ground, and Su's mother couldn't afford to get sick. Zhang Ruolei wants to enter the Su family, but I always feel that he is too aggressive and unkind.
But he also knows that this world doesn't talk about kindness or kindness, and he worked hard to get it, how could he easily give it away?
I can't take care of both sides, and he intends to let me participate in the management of Su enterprises in the past. I began to think about it seriously, I always felt that this was inappropriate, Su Mu would regard me as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, needless to say, in this society now, there are basically no secrets, Su must have heard a lot of the three of us up and down, just thinking about it is enough to make my scalp tight, and I think that my face has not been cultivated to that extent.
So I had to shirk it.
The Su family and the Zhang family finally turned from a world friendship to a feud, and the old lady of the Zhang family was so angry that she vomited blood, and she couldn't afford to get sick and spent several days in the hospital. Zhang Ruolei won the money and won the property dispute, but he lost word of mouth, family affection, and morality. Many people say that Zhang Ruolei's methods are too ruthless, and this person is so responsible that it does have an impact on the Zhang family's business, because many people are afraid that they will be killed by him if they work with Zhang Ruolei in the future.
I said why did he suffer. But he only smiled and looked at me for a long time, not speaking, not explaining, and not justifying himself.
At such times, I had to stay by his side silently.
The days seem to be peaceful, and they move forward like flowing water. After a long time, the turmoil also calmed down. Most people in the world are forgetful, not to mention that Zhang Ruolei is more generous now, and in a few days, he is surrounded by friends, politics, business, workers and farmers, all of whom are holding the moon.
I tried to remind others to be cautious when they were proud, but he just looked at me and smiled, not speaking. Mrs. Zhang was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, she was out of breath, and she rarely appeared in the company. Zhang Ruolei's two aunts showed up even less. After this battle, the company has a new insight into Zhang Ruolei's thunderous methods, and many people are silent as soon as they hear him return to the company.
After so many years of painstaking operation, the old Zhang family's industry finally fell into his hands. At least, he is the one in power at the moment. But it will take time for all the industries to live up to their names and legally belong to him.
In short, sooner or later it's his. Why rush.
Pinching his fingers, in the blink of an eye, Huaiping has been gone for more than two years, and in the past two years, he has not heard from him, and I have looked for him through many channels, but I don't know.
Xiao Han never showed up again, and Huaihai was released. He came to me and asked me about Xiao Han's whereabouts, and I said I didn't know.
That day, in an open-air café in the city, I found that he had changed a lot, his beard and hair were gray, and the nasolabial folds were deeply sunk into the corners of his mouth, making people feel old. He wore a dark gray corduroy top underneath black sweatpants and matching white-trimmed sneakers.
I wanted to tell him about Huaiping's whereabouts, and I wanted to ask him what he had told him in those letters he wrote to Huaiping back then.
But I know he's not going to let me get it. Some people and some people are like this, like two rays, intersecting, going their separate ways, and from then on, old age and death will never intersect again.
Huaihai and I belong to the kind of two people who are old and dead and will not intersect psychologically and emotionally.
Years later, I have learned that in the face of such people, don't be sad, no longer have to force it. Going with the flow should be the norm of life, but it is sung by many people as if there is a major difference in the ideological realm, in fact, in the end, who can screw half a point of the occurrence and development of the situation?
But it's just unwilling to be there.
I also want to tell Huaihai that Huaiping used to take drugs, and now he is gone, never to return. I would like to ask if he knows his whereabouts.
But a few words came to his lips and he swallowed again. The first thing he did when he came back was to look for Xiao Han everywhere and inquire about her whereabouts, Huai Pingzhi had never been important to him.
I found myself recounting the reunion with his old friend, still with a little resentment.
This shouldn't be my reaction.
When we parted, I turned my head and saw his back, walking alone in the setting sun. His back has been slightly rickety, has this person been explained like this all his life? For him, is it worth loving a woman like that?
By the way, I heard that there is a child between them. It's about the same size as Huaiping, if that's the case...... I can understand why he doesn't want to see Huaiping so much.
At this time, I took pity on the misery of my life. He had a father and a mother, but he seemed to have no father and no mother. His father never cared about him, his mother cared about him, and what he cared about was always not the place, it was always like following him across thousands of mountains. He has a home and can't go back.
Speaking of which, I was amazed in my heart, knowing that this was the case, and I really shouldn't have brought him into this world.
I miss him so much.
That night, Zhang Ruolei came very late, full of alcohol. I never let him drink less, I know the so-called socializing, and I know that men sometimes need to use alcohol to fight the world.
No matter how happy a person is, there are times when he is insincerely happy. He fell asleep, frowning lightly, as if he had endless thoughts on his mind. Outsiders see him in high spirits. I know him, there is a crazy old mother, there is an old white who is not right, there is a father who is not in harmony with him, he seems to be stubborn, but why is it not because of these betrayals and relatives, so he is more willing to go his own way in everything?
I sat next to him for a long time, as if I wanted to sit myself as a sculpture, as his patron saint.
This feeling is complex and subtle, and if we have to go back, it seems to be simpler, more direct and simple in the past. I really miss the days when I met Jun Chu, I thought he didn't have troubles, and he thought I couldn't bear my big fart. I want his money, and he wants to take me for fun. Later, I changed, not only for his money, but also for his body, his person, and even, for his marriage.
I'm so greedy.
I can sometimes have fear from the depths of my heart now, I am a woman, I am getting older, I have nothing to deserve your affection, one day, you may leave me. What should I do then!
The floor lamp emitted a soft light, Zhang Ruolei's towering nose cast a silhouette on his face, I got up and walked out of the room, there was a handful of documents on the table in the study, which he had just handed to me during the day, saying that he wanted to talk to a group about capital injection, I don't know much about these things, he told me a very grand idea, and also made it clear that he wanted the 20% shares of the Su family at the beginning, it was for this ideal.
This ideal has been his dream for many years. In order to realize this dream, he had to put his reputation and morality aside.
The whole plan is divided into three phases, capital injection, capital expansion, diversified development, and listing.
This matter has been discussed at the internal meeting of the Zhang family, the latest result is that Mrs. Zhang does not agree, he thinks the risk is too great, so many years, the Zhang family is committed to the development of the local manufacturing industry, has its own core technology, products and even exports, is also the local enterprises that the municipal government focuses on supporting, in the past, there were also relevant leaders who proposed him to go public, but was rejected by the old lady, in his own words: The Zhang family holds shares, although it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of family industry, but the smell is rotten in a pot. If it is listed, the century-old foundation of the Zhang family really doesn't know who will die in the end.
And Zhang Ruolei is a new style, young, energetic and driven, a top student who came back from abroad to study finance and economics, and it seems understandable that he thinks that his platform can be bigger, higher and stronger.
This old man and the young are stuck here now, although Mrs. Zhang can't come forward, but he has absolute sovereignty. Zhang Ruolei was covered in iron, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs.
It is said that the style of this company is also very wolf-like, and the means it takes, especially for the country's first-line local enterprises, often spend money to inject capital, first into a joint venture, and then shrink its original business, and then have to sell it to them and become their wholly-owned company.
Zhang Ruolei has been abroad for so long, I don't believe he doesn't know about this situation. Even I, a novice in business, know something, how could he not know? Is he luring the wolf into the house? Or is there another way to hinder this foreign-owned company?
What exactly does he want to do?
How ambitious is he?
Want to be famous? Breaking new ground in the business world? He's not such a vain man.
I couldn't guess his mind for a while, but I was still determined to tell Zhang Ruolei about the result. He only accounts for 20% of the Su family's shares, and he shouldn't be able to set off any big winds and waves in the Su family, and the Zhang family's shares, to put it bluntly, he doesn't even have much in the old Su family.
Such a huge plan, with his current strength, should not be enough to support his ambitions.
I closed the papers, turned off the lights, went back to my room, and lay down beside him. He seemed to be awakened by me, moved, reached out and put his arm around me, and let out a slight snort.
Somehow, I suddenly remembered what he said to me: If one day I have nothing, will you still be with me?
