She literally hasn't been in my office since. But occasionally I think of the conversation between them that means something to each other, pick out the details, and it is not difficult to find that these two people are holding each other's short in their hands, but what is this short is that makes both sides so jealous, and I am occasionally quite interested.

I asked Zhang Ruolei, and he said that I gossip. It's good that she doesn't look for your bad luck right now, and don't ask about the rest.

"Then how can you call it a blind inquiry?"

I retorted to him, but then thought again. Isn't it just a blind inquiry, and it has something to do with me?

The days are calm for the time being, Zhang Ruolei is in a hurry to expand his business territory, and closely follow the contact with the foreign-funded company called Hurricane, I advise him to be cautious, but where can he listen to others at this time?

Once, he even asked me, don't you believe in the wisdom and ability of your own man? Really fight but old Maozi?

I was stopped by him, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Things are progressing very fast, alarming the municipal party committee and municipal government, the news is widely publicized, and the city has added new projects to attract investment. But in fact, Zhang's father Zhang Fusheng did not nod his head in agreement, but Zhang Ruolei's move was to let the government enter the game, and it was inevitable that the old lady of the Zhang family would become a tiger.

That night, the old man Zhang Fusheng trembled and entered the company slightly, and when he arrived at his own spacious office that had not been in for a long time, his hair was sparse and silver-white, and his face was haggard.

Zhang Ruolei was not there when he came. It wasn't a coincidence, it was he who deliberately avoided his father. His father won twelve gold medals before, and Daodao urged him to move back to the court, but he would not accept the foreign military order, and he ignored it. forced the old lady to force the sick body to come to the company to block him.

I think Zhang Ruolei has gone too far, but he prefers to say that there is nothing wrong with saying that a man wants to become a big thing and is not informal, and he also said that the older generation is this, and they don't like to give up power until they die. For example, tell me what about the time when the old man refused to let go of power, how many open and secret battles were fought under him, and how many innocent people died.

I said that you are an only son, what are you afraid of, in the end, the Zhang family's property is not all yours?

Zhang Ruolei spit out clouds and mist, ignoring my words.

The old lady's driver has long been bought by Zhang Ruolei, and the driver often mixes between the old and young generations of the Zhang family, and he has more than enough to travel early, not to mention that Zhang Ruolei is still under the guise that the old man is not in good health and does not want to conflict with him head-on.

Zhang Fusheng went to the company to summon Zhang Ruolei but failed, so he called me over.

I secretly scolded Zhang Ruolei while walking to the old man's office, and after scolding, he scolded himself: Why are you so stupid? He hid out, and I became his cannon fodder again? The relationship between the two of us is now almost universally known, he and Su Baihong's affair has become a white matter, and the bad things in the court with the Su family have been all over the city. In this case, I even want to hide my ears and steal the bell. But the situation has long been unallowed.

Knocking on the door and entering, the old lady's old face jumped in front of him. I feel that I have only been in the company for a few years, and when I first came in, he was still sitting in this office commanding Ruoding, calling for wind and rain, Zhang Ruolei was discouraged every time he saw him, and he was always deflated.

Now it was his son's turn to give him a deflated.

Turn around and cover the door, heart

The soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.

The old lady has a dragon head crutch in one hand, a buckle Tang suit, a slight Parkinson's, and a slight shaking of his hands from time to time, this illness has become his best cover, I can't tell his intentions for a while, I can't see his joy and anger.

When I stood in front of him, the head of the dragon in his hand turned around, and with a finger of his hand, he motioned for me to sit, and I did not refuse. Seeing that his hands were withered like eagle claws, the green tendons under the skin on the back of his hands were intertwined, and the skin protruded like keels.

"Drink something?"

"Nope."

Old lady Zhang trembled and picked up the cup, moved the cup to his lips with a small shake all the way, took a sip, and tried to put it back in place with a shudder, the first time he didn't put it right, he leaned his crutches on his chair, and tried to put the cup back in place with both hands.

"I'm old."

He said.

"I'm afraid that the Zhang family will not be able to make my decisions in the future."

I listened quietly, not daring to make a mistake. What's more, this is the first time that the old man has confided in me, and it is a family matter, so it is even more difficult for me to say anything.

"I know you're good with him."

I don't want him to be so straightforward, embarrassed for a while, quite embarrassed, and I don't know how to answer the next question.

"If you can help me convince him, I'll let you through."

I raised my head and looked at Mrs. Zhang's overly old face in horror.

"It's true."

Again, he stressed.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and if he marries, he must like it himself, I don't want tragedies to happen from generation to generation."

Tragic?

Generation after generation?

I frowned slightly, puzzled.

He coughed violently at this time, and I hurriedly stood up, held the teacup in front of him with both hands, and motioned for him to take a sip and press it, but he waved his hand again and again, and his whole face turned from yellow to dark red, and he was almost out of breath. I saw him stretch his neck, as if he was about to be led by someone, and then raised the back of his neck high, and then bent his body, almost bowing his head under his crotch, and streaks of silver-white saliva and saliva were not flowing down the sides of his mouth and nose.

Lao Bai pushed the door in early, walked to his side a few steps quickly, first picked up the cup like me, and then saw him old and ugly. While reciting "create evil", he helped sweep his back, took out a tissue from the table, pinched the source of all his ugliness, and helped him wipe his snot and saliva away.

It took him a long time to get rid of his strength, and Lao Bai waited for him to take the medicine and asked someone to replace the tea with white water.

"Who is so ignorant and makes tea? Eating a handful of medicine a day, and still dare to drink tea? ”

Someone came in, she whispered but full of majestic instructions, the person went down to change the warm boiled water, Lao Bai tested the temperature on the outside of the cup with the back of his hand, and did not shy away from it in front of me, tasted a small sip, and then gave the water to Zhang Fusheng.

"Here, take a sip. Press it down. Don't be like this in the future, people who are so old and will die soon, there is a time for death, and you don't know when it is now? ”

The two of them spoke in a very cohesive tone, and their demeanor was like flowing water

It makes people not see any flaws, like an old husband and wife.

I looked redundant and embarrassed on the sidelines, and I couldn't help but want to quit quietly. But who expected that the old man coughed until he had half his life left, and he still didn't forget the purpose of this trip, his eyes shot like electricity, and he stretched out his hand to stop him slightly.

"Meizi, you --- wait a while, I still have something to tell you."

Lao Bai was also repelled by him, and the two of us were left in the room.

"Plum,"

He slowly pulled the field away.

"My next words may be related to the life and death of the Zhang family, I can't reveal the details one by one, only one thing is entrusted, if one day the Zhang family changes, I hope you can not disgrace my hope and turn the tide."

He let out a long sigh, tears rolling down his two cloudy old eyes.

"What I explained to you today, promise me not to tell anyone, including Zhang Ruolei. I want you to swear by the life of your son Huaiping. ”

I looked stunned, in a dilemma, and after a long silence, I replied, "I can't agree." ”

Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows.

"Why?"

"I don't have any relatives, except for Huaiping, who is my mother. I can't say yes. ”

"I can't let you enter the door to be the young grandmother of the Zhang family?"

I turned around.

"Nope."

With his back to Mrs. Zhang.

"I want to marry him, but not in this way. He is unwilling to marry, and it is useless for anyone to nod. He was willing to marry, no name and no share, and I followed him. ”

Mrs. Zhang shouted "Okay" behind my back.

I turned to face him.

"It's not 'good', it's knowing that twisted melons are not sweet. I've been married, and I missed a man, a man, it's enough to follow the wrong one, and I don't want to have a second one. He is willing to marry, and I am willing to marry. If not, it's not interesting to marry, and it's not interesting to have more scenery. ”

Zhang Fusheng looked at me for a long time, and muttered to himself: "It's too similar, it's too similar." ”

I didn't hear clearly, so I asked, "Like whom?" Like what? What do you say? ”

He retracted his thoughts, his eyelids drooped, and waved his hand slowly at me, "Go ahead." Forget it, when I didn't say anything. ”

I exited his office full of questions and full of worries.

When I had dinner with Zhang Ruolei that night, he asked about the situation during the day, and I said, "It's okay, just a few words of gossip." But seeing that his mental and physical condition is not good, and your mother's health is not very good, Zhang Ruolei, otherwise give up, don't you have the money? Don't you have the right? It's all yours, why aren't you satisfied? People say that it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country. Your father laid the foundation of the Zhang family, and if it can be carried forward in your hands, it is enough to show your ability. Why do you have to expand blindly? ”

Zhang Ruolei "snapped" the chopsticks on the table, his face was gloomy, he didn't look at me, his eyes fell on a certain point on the table, staring straight ahead.

"How do you know I'm expanding blindly?"

I suppressed my anger.

"Even if, even if you're not expanding blindly. Your parents' bodies are like that, they can't help tossing and stimulating. Isn't that bad now? Don't worry about eating, don't worry about wearing, the Zhang family is one of the best in the city, with a head and a face. Zhang Ruo

Lei, have you thought about it, once you look away and lose your investment, maybe the entire Zhang family's foundation will be destroyed in your hands, have you really seriously thought about the consequences? ”

He looked up at me, and the words were round and round.

"My dad, what benefits did you promise?"

"Zhang Ruolei!"

I stood up, took my bag and walked out, expecting him to stop me, or rush out and catch up from behind, but I overestimated the weight of myself in his heart.

He didn't stop me, he didn't catch up. I slowed down, thinking that I might have been overly toned, or too impulsive. I began to regret it, but I opened the bow and didn't look back. Besides, I'm for his good, what do I have? What am I? What am I to him? I have followed him for so many years without knowing or clear, yes, he promised me a lot of benefits, but ...... But......

But what? But I just couldn't put myself in a clear position? If someone gives you a benefit, it is an equivalent exchange, do you really kick your nose and face, do you really think that you can be big, who is he Zhang Ruolei, or can you really enter the house to be the young lady of the Zhang family? What else is good for others! People use you for? In the past, now, and in the future, when will people live better than you, and they will not be better than you!
