Chapter Eighty-Four: Ice Release Suspicions
Cheng Yan buried himself deep behind the wide desk, holding his chin with his left hand, and kept writing and drawing on the paper with his right hand, which was his habit when he was meditating
Although the Lu family has agreed to finance, the current situation is still very grim, with the Cheng family's relationship on the scene, they want the local government to approve of their salvage of jade from the deep sea, which is not a concern
He vaguely felt that the Cheng family was not unable to take out the money, and the reason why Grandpa and Dad didn't help him and let him solve it on his own was just to test him, otherwise he wouldn't face the sudden crisis, so calmly, did the three major families also see this, so they chose to stand by and watch
At this time, the Lu family decided to help, which had already made the balance of the original balance shake, so it seems that the Cui family and the Zhong family are likely to follow closely and stage a big drama of "sending charcoal in the snow", no matter whether the situation faced by the Cheng family is really as grim as it appears on the surface, the Cheng family owes this favor
However, such a result is definitely not what grandpa and dad expected, so how can I not owe favors and be able to raise enough funds, it is really a headache
"Knock knock" Two crisp knocks sounded, Cheng Yan looked up and stood up, really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao smiled secretly in his heart, his brain was running rapidly, he was already thinking about countermeasures, but he still pretended to be surprised: "Zhong Zai, what are you doing?"
Zhong Zai had already strode in, still with a ruffian smile on his face, and sat down opposite him unceremoniously, crossed Erlang's legs, scratched his head, and said, "I'll see if Young Master Cheng, who has caused a catastrophe, is as embarrassed as I imagined."
Cheng Yan smiled faintly and sat down and said, "Is the result as you wish?"
Zhong Zai stretched out his hands and pouted: "The result is the same as when you were a child, it will always be you who are in front of you and the first people to rush to wipe your ass after you get into trouble."
Cheng Yan's face instantly darkened, and he said with pity: "Insult me on my territory, you show off your head, believe it or not, I can ask the security guard to kick you out now."
Seeing his angry appearance, Zhong Tsai unabashedly showed a very happy look, and said weakly: "Just kidding, what are you so excited about, your temper is still the same as when you were a child."
"You don't look like you're just like when you were a child," Cheng Yan was not to be outdone, and sneered
"You"
"Hmm"
The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and no one let anyone look at each other for a moment, but the two of them suddenly laughed together, how many years have the two of them been fighting and fighting, often losing and losing, and now there is a feeling of meeting each other, smiling and hating
Zhong Zai coughed lightly, blushed slightly, took out a cigarette from his pocket as if he was disguised, and ordered it to Cheng Yan without hindrance, seeing him take a deep breath, his eyes were confused: "Do you know why I can't get along with you all these years?"
Cheng Yan rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking to himself, you still know that it was intentional to live with me
In fact, he is also curious, the memory of his childhood has been blurred in Cheng Yan's heart, he only remembers that they were also very good playmates in the past, but now they have become so estranged, and I vaguely remember that when I was a child, the two of them fought once, although they were children, but both of them were very heavy, and they couldn't get along, as for why Cheng Yan forgot
Zhong Zai spit out a puff of smoke: "When I was a child, there was only one girl in our group of leather boys, everyone ** she was sweet and cute when she was a child, and she was dressed like a little princess, but her personality was very boyish, and she followed us every day to drill dog holes, climb trees, play with mud, and often make her body dirty."
Zhong Tsai recalled the interesting events of his childhood, his face was full of happiness and a quiet smile, Cheng Yan only felt that Zhong Tsai in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar, but it made him feel very amiable
Zhong Tsai was immersed in the memories of the past, and said to himself: "Your marriage contract with Anxin is an open secret, you are the golden boy and girl in the eyes of adults, you often play the family wine together, and you always play the groom and Anxin play the bride, everyone surrounds you, and you come forward to pick up the hijab on Anxin's head."
Sometimes you are happy to do this, sometimes you are very impatient, but every time you lift the veil on her head, Anxin will always smile happily, that smile is as beautiful as the first blooming lotus, every time I look at her intently, I look at her intently, hoping that her smile can bloom for me for a moment, but unfortunately she only has you in her eyes."
This time it was Cheng Yan's turn to be stunned, and he was relieved again
"You actually"
"Yes" Zhong Zai looked at Cheng Yan's eyes wide in surprise: "I like peace of mind, I like it when I am young"
Seeing him admit so generously and firmly, Cheng Yan only felt that the creation made people laugh self-deprecatingly: "In just a few days, I have known so many secrets buried by time, and your thoughts and Lu Sheng's thoughts are all because of peace of mind."
Cheng Yan felt that everything in front of him had added a touch of irony, especially like a farce, and he was the clown on the farce
The vague things in the depths of my memory gradually became clear: "So when you were 8 years old, you suddenly went crazy and rushed over to fight with me, just for peace of mind, to break with me, and for peace of mind."
Zhong Zai's expression was extremely painful, he choked on the cigarette, he coughed lightly, frowned, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray in his hand, and smiled bitterly: "At that time, I said to Anxin, Xin'er, this time I will be the groom, will you be my bride."
Anxin said no, I am Xiaoyan's bride, adults said that I will be the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family in the future, I was angry, there was only one thought in my head at that time, why didn't my parents go to settle down, and said Anxin to me as a daughter-in-law, so that you can take advantage of it" Remembering his angry appearance at the time, Zhong Zai shook his head helplessly
Cheng Yan continued: "You came up and punched me in the face at that time, I was discussing with Xiao Che how to lift the hijab later, it was fun, I was completely unprepared, and I was punched by you, but it was a child's heart, how could I think about why I was beaten, I just felt that I couldn't suffer, so I couldn't help but say that I scuffled with you, and the fight was very fierce, and it seemed that I saw blood."
"What else do you say," Zhong Tsai picked up his hair and pointed to a scar on the upper left of his forehead and said, "This is your masterpiece"
Cheng Yan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I remember that I also had blood on my body at that time, maybe it wasn't serious."
"Bullshit, is that blood yours, you slapped a brick on my head, I want to return you, but Jin Che blocked in front of you, and received that brick, you hugged him and yelled, the blood dripping from his head rubbed on your clothes, you kid doesn't know what blessings he cultivated in his previous life, he picked up such a good brother in vain, and he always fights for you at a critical juncture."
Zhong Zai's full of vinegar amused Cheng Yan laughed, and the wave of memories also surged out little by little, for so many years, Xiao Che has been by his side, and it has long become a part of his life, that kind of affection has long exceeded the so-called blood relationship, grandpa told him since he was a child, he and Xiao Che are better than brothers, and they must protect him at all times
Even if there was a good brother like Lu Sheng by his side later, he was still closer to Xiao Che in his heart, yes, and Lu Sheng
"Lu Sheng likes peace of mind, did you know it early on," Cheng Yan asked Zhong Zai
Zhong Zai looked at him with disdain and said: "Lu Sheng's thoughts about peace of mind, I'm afraid that only you didn't realize it, and you really verified that sentence, the authorities are fascinated by bystanders, you should remember that Lu Sheng and I were more similar in sex when I was a child, but in order to be closer to peace of mind, between me and you, he decisively chose to be your brother, and it has been so many years in a flash," Zhong Zai said
Cheng Yan felt a trace of sadness in his heart: it turned out that what Lu Sheng said meant this
"If Cheng Yan didn't have peace of mind, I wouldn't be friends with you"
Zhong Zai interrupted Cheng Yanzhengse, who was thinking hard, without a trace of guilt, and said: "After the gossip is over, it's time to talk about something serious."
Cheng Yan looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
"Of course it's a matter of financing, otherwise what do you think I'm doing today," Zhong Tsai said angrily
Cheng Yan suddenly realized, but he still maintained an indifferent look on his face, and lay down on the back of the chair behind him, and said playfully: "I heard you right, the Zhong family, who has always been put on the shelf when encountering a crisis, is willing to take the initiative to extend a hand of friendship, it's unbelievable."
"Okay, don't get cheap, and sell it well, I took the initiative to send it to the door, you don't know how to be happy, what are you still wearing here, what are you pretending to be here, of course the Zhong family is not a savior, especially a person as insidious and cunning as Chairman Zhong, it would be good if he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob," Zhong Zai kept complaining, as if he had started a train
Cheng Yan thought to himself, is it really good for you to say this, your father
"Tell me about your conditions," Cheng Yan said
"I'm not as hypocritical as my dad, I'm going to say it, Sister Nuo made a condition with my dad, as long as the Zhong family is willing to help the Cheng family finance, she is willing to give up her shares in the Zhong family and put it in my name, my dad agreed."
"What" Cheng Yan was taken aback, slapped the table and stood up
Cheng Nuo's shares in the Zhong family are part of the inheritance that her mother loves to leave her, although it is not much, but it is the capital that she can still be active in the Zhong family for so many years, once it is handed over, her words and deeds in the Zhong family in the future will not have much weight, my sister has always loved herself, but this price is inevitably too great
He couldn't help but glared at Zhong Zai angrily and said indignantly: "Sure enough, it is the consistent style of the Zhong family, what is the difference between you and the robbers who robbed while the fire was burning, and they were actually their own relatives," Cheng Yan gasped angrily
"You calm down, okay, things are not a foregone conclusion, the contract has not been signed, everything is still around," Zhong Zai expected his reaction early in the morning, but said tepidly
"What do you mean to the fat in your mouth, you are willing to spit it out," Cheng Yan said sarcastically
Zhong Zai glanced at him and said coldly: "People who don't take advantage of it are fools, but that is my sister from childhood to adulthood, except for my mother, she is the best for me, no matter how bastard Zhong Zai is, he is not a person without conscience."
Since that woman entered my house, I know that the days will never be peaceful again, my mother was forced away by her, my mother is too weak, I Zhong Tsai is not a character to mess with, there will inevitably be a fierce battle in the Zhong family in the future, and I am still waiting for my sister to escort me."
Cheng Yan sat down again and asked with interest: "What do you mean?"
"I want to talk to you about other conditions, Cheng Yan, I am now a member of the Zhong family, and I want to sign a gentleman's agreement with the current Mr. Cheng, I don't need any written contract, I just need a promise from you, Cheng Yan"
Zhong Zai knew that Cheng Yan was a gentleman, a man who was quick to speak, and his promise was more effective than any bullshit contract
"What promises"
"I want you to help me sit in the position of chairman of the Zhong family, I said that sooner or later there will be a fierce battle between me and the mother and daughter, what I need you to do is that once the big war is imminent, you must spare no effort to help me," Zhong Zai said seriously
Cheng Yan's brain was running rapidly, predicting all possible situations in the future, knowing that he was considering Zhong Zai's patience, waiting for him to open his mouth, Cheng Yan looked at him and said: "Your spare effort is too vague, it is difficult to succeed, and when the time comes, you need the entire Cheng family, and I will give it to you."
Zhong Zai waited for a long time, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Cheng Yan, do you have no confidence in me, or are you too overestimating that mother and daughter, do you still need to pay the entire Cheng family for their little ability?"
Seeing that Cheng Yan was still that indifferent dead picture, Zhong Zai said helplessly: "That's okay, you just need to promise me to help me within the scope of your ability, so it's always okay, Master Cheng~"
Cheng Yan nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Then what about this financing, if my sister doesn't give up the shares, Uncle Zhong won't agree to the financing."
Zhong Zai squinted his eyes again and smiled: "Then I have to ask Young Master Cheng to have some blood."
Zhong Zai's eerie smile made Cheng Yan's entire hair stand up, goosebumps fell to the ground, Zhong Zai said for a long time, Cheng Yan finally closed his mouth wide open, and said hatefully: "I really thought you had changed your mind, but I didn't expect that you were still a bastard, and you actually targeted my car factory, please that is my private asset, and it has nothing to do with the Cheng family's half a dime."
Besides, my small car factory can't even compare to the scale of a chain store owned by your Zhong family."
Zhong Zai still looked like a weasel cunning, and the corners of his mouth raised a sly smile: "Then you let it have something to do with the Cheng family, isn't it just a matter of letting it out again, the Cheng family is going to cut the jade business and turn to the automobile industry, and then buy a few small car factories in a fake way in the past few days, you just buy the money, I will dig out the car factory, I have chosen it, oh, by the way, let's say it first, this car factory is our Zhong family."
My dad has always been afraid that the Cheng family will enter the automobile industry, as long as the wind is released, he will not be able to sit still, and he will definitely use the financing to make the Cheng family dispel the idea of sharing a piece of the pie with the Zhong family."
Cheng Yan saw what he said with great interest, and he appreciated it very much in his heart, it seems that this Zhong Zai is not as squirming as it seems, there are still some things in his mind, and he still refuses to admit defeat: "What you think is beautiful, that car factory, but the root of my life, you honestly confess, have you been eyeing it a long time ago, you are looking for someone to smash my car factory's account, I haven't settled it with you."
Zhong Zai scratched his head playfully, looking like he didn't want to admit it: "Oh, Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, it's not over yet, at most, if you come to the car factory to load the car and don't charge your money, it's over."
"Hey, this is not for you, you will automatically draw the car factory to your heart, shameless," Cheng Yan scolded with a smile
As soon as the two of you came and I fought, no one let anyone, but it was a bit of a chess opponent, this long-lost feeling made Cheng Yan really realize that Zhong Zai, who seemed to have always been a strong rival, had stepped into his circle of friends with half a foot
