1 Heavy burden
Walking on the cobblestone path, bathed in the hot sun, sweat flowed down the back, but the heart of the blue sky and rain was cold, as if it was in the cold winter, and the outside environment was completely opposite to the world.
Lan Tianyu didn't deliberately dress, he was still a half-sleeved white shirt and white-washed jeans, but the half-long hair that used to flow had been cut into a lean and neat short hair.
Although it is just the simplest dress, with a height of 1.85 meters, thick sword eyebrows, bottomless black pupils, a tall nose bridge, a resolute chin, and a deep contoured face, he was just a handsome, but his tough and unyielding temperament is full of eyeballs.
Although the decision has been made, the thought of Uncle Qin and Aunt Mei, who have treated him as their own since childhood, will also draw a line with him, and Lan Tianyu's heart will be filled with unspeakable bitterness.
A month ago, he was a carefree junior in college, enjoying the leisurely and comfortable student life in the ivory tower, listening to lectures, reading books, playing his favorite music every day, and being in the mood to impersonate an artist and show off his calligraphy and painting skills that amazed laymen. But once the bad news came, all this easy and leisurely life left him.
Lan Tianyu's father, Lan Minghui, suddenly died in the office, leaving him with a mess on the verge of bankruptcy.
Lan Minghui is the first shareholder of Guyun Auction House, occupying 60% of the shares, and Guyun Auction House started from scratch and slowly developed from scratch. Although Gu Yun can not be compared with the three major auction houses in the province with profound heritage, it is already in a top-notch position in the second-rate auction houses, and with Lan Minghui's ability, maybe in a few years, Gu Yun will be on par with the three major auction houses in the province.
Two months ago, Guyun Auction House accepted an auction commission, and the items entrusted for auction were a Ru porcelain and a picture of a lady of Tang Bohu. He has been personally involved in the whole process.
Before the ancient rhyme auction house launched the promotion of these two heavy treasures, the client suddenly changed and urgently needed a large amount of money, hoping to sell these two heavy treasures as soon as possible. After some negotiations, Lan Minghui decided to buy the two treasures by the auction house, and the final price was 45 million Chinese dollars.
After using the auction house's real estate as collateral and getting a short-term loan of 30 million yuan, there was still a difference of 15 million yuan, and finally Lan Minghui took out all his personal savings and borrowed money from friends, and finally collected the money. The money was counted as a short-term loan to the auction house, and the 45 million Chinese dollars were paid off, and Lan Minghui bought the two heavy treasures.
It was a good opportunity to make a lot of profits, but I didn't expect that on the eve of the exhibition, I found that two heavy treasures had been transferred, and in the treasure room of the ancient rhyme auction house, there were two fakes in the collection.
In order to acquire these two heavy treasures, Lan Minghui had already poured everything he had, and now it had turned into two fakes, which immediately hit him hard. If this matter is not properly resolved, the building that occupies the vast majority of the assets of Guyun Auction House will be repossessed by the bank, and the cause that Lan Minghui has fought for all his life will also be destroyed.
Perhaps such a blow was too big, and Lan Minghui died suddenly in the office that night.
After hearing the news, it was like five thunderstorms, and it was difficult to accept this reality. To add insult to injury, Lan Tianyu's mother, Mu Hui, couldn't bear such a blow, and suffered a recurrence of heart disease again and was admitted to the hospital.
Whether it was taking over the auction house or dealing with his father's funeral, it was all a mess, and Lan Tianyu had no choice but to drop out of school.
How were the two heavy treasures transferred? Who is the mole in the company? Although Lan Tianyu had some suspicions, he never found conclusive evidence.
Whether Lan Minghui died of natural causes or killed him has never had a clear conclusion, and it is still an unsolved case until Lan Minghui's posthumous affairs are completed. Originally, the medical examiner concluded that myocardial infarction caused sudden death and was not homicide.
But the policewoman Ling Weiwei, who handled the case, had a different opinion, and she raised three doubts about the case: one is that Lan Minghui maintained a frightened expression after his death, which is in line with the assumption that he killed; The second is that Lan Minghui's office has traces of being turned over, and the safe is also open, and the things inside are very messy, but it is difficult to determine whether some items have been stolen for the time being; The third is that Lan Minghui did not have any medical history before his death, and his body has always been very healthy, and his sudden death makes some sense.
At Ling Weiwei's insistence, the case has not been concluded to be a natural death, and she has been looking for new clues.
For Ling Weiwei's conscientious and responsible spirit of not letting go of any doubts, Lan Tianyu is sincerely grateful, but he can't provide more clues for the time being.
In three days, the bank's loan of 30 million yuan will expire, and if it cannot be repaid by then, the office building of the ancient auction house will be repossessed by the bank. Fortunately, when Lan Minghui signed the loan contract, he was quite cautious, indicating that the building would be repossessed by the bank within a month, and during this period, Guyun Auction House had the right to redeem the building again if it could still pay off the loan.
Gu Yun Auction House is Lan Minghui's lifelong hard work, if possible, Lan Tianyu will definitely not let Gu Yun go bankrupt.
It's a pity that since Lan Minghui's death, the ancient rhyme auction house has been disheartened, and no one can be optimistic in the face of such a huge deficit. Lan Tianyu took over the auction house in a hurry, and he didn't have any prestige at all, and it was impossible to talk about reversing the current situation.
In addition to dealing with the auction house, there is also a lot of family chores. His mother Mu Hui was hospitalized, and he had to take time to accompany him, and his father had borrowed 15 million funds, of which 5 million were borrowed from friends, and he wanted to visit them one by one, or call to express his gratitude, and promised to find a way to return them as soon as possible.
Fortunately, his childhood sweetheart and girlfriend, Qinyin, directly snatched the responsibility of taking care of his future mother-in-law from him, and the burden on his shoulders was lightened a lot.
Qinyin's family and Lantian Yu's family are world friends, and the relationship between their parents has always been very good. Qinyin is one year younger than Lan Tianyu, she has been behind him since she was a child, went to school with him, grew up together, and what she has always wanted is to become the little daughter-in-law of Tianyu's brother when she grows up.
The two have been golden boys and girls since they were children, from ignorance to secret feelings, and then to become a sweet couple that everyone envies, everything is natural and natural.
Parents on both sides are naturally happy to see such a result, with the relationship between the two families, knowing each other's roots, after the young couple gets married, the environment and relatives around them are the same as before, and there is no need to re-adapt to the process.
After Lan Minghui passed away, Qin Yin did not alienate Lan Tianyu because of the downfall of the Lan family, but became more well-behaved and sensible, and seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.
A few days ago, Lan Minghui had already discovered that Qin Yin always seemed to frown when he was free, and he knocked on the side for a long time before Qin Yin told him the truth.
It turned out that Qin Botao and his wife actually persuaded Qin Yin to sever their boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Lan Tianyu, but Qin Yin categorically refused.
After the death of his father, Lan Tianyu grew up rapidly under great pressure, although he was still a little immature, but compared to before, he was much more mature and stable. During this period of time, he has seen a lot of warmth and coldness of the world, and although he is very sad about the decision of Qinyin's parents, he quickly accepted this reality.
The reason why Qin Yin didn't tell Lan Tianyu about this matter immediately was that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he was confused for a while, and accepted the suggestion of Qin Botao and his wife. She solemnly expressed her determination to never break up with Lan Tianyu, so that no matter what difficulties she faces, she will not affect the relationship between them.
Qin Yin's hard work, Lan Tianyu saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and made it clear that his views were completely consistent with hers, and he would never let their love flowers wither and wither because of external difficulties.
Qin Botao and his wife live in the same community as Lan Tianyu's family, and Lan Tianyu walked for five minutes to the door of the villa.
"Cuiweiyuan" is a newly built high-end villa community in Lin'an City, where Qin Botao and Lan Minghui each bought a villa two years ago. The world makes friends, lives next to each other, and the children are a little couple, I don't know how many people are envious.
Looking at the wrought iron gate in front of him, which he had entered and exited countless times, Lan Tianyu's heart was irrepressibly bitter.
"Young Master Tianyu is here, please come in! My lord and wife have been waiting for you for a long time. My wife has made you your favorite steamed sea bass, which is about to come out of the pot. Mother Lin smiled sincerely as always, and her eyes were full of love and pity when she looked at Lan Tianyu.
In Lin's mother's view, although the appearance of Lan Tianyu has not changed, but the temperament has been very different from before, the once sunny and fresh and vigorous immature college students, only half a month, but has transformed into a tough man. Such a huge change is not what Mama Lin wants to see, she would rather Lan Tianyu still be that carefree student, and she doesn't want his thin shoulders to be burdened with such a heavy burden.
"Mother Lin is still polite to me, I am more familiar with this place than my own home. I heard Yinyin say, your cervical spondylosis is committed again, it is best to go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination, so as not to misdiagnose and delay the condition is not good. Lan Tianyu said with concern.
Covering up the regret and regret that flashed in her eyes, Mother Lin said: "It's all old problems, and there is no better way in big hospitals. ”
Seeing Lan Tianyu and Lin Ma walking into the living room, Qin Botao, who was already a little blessed, put down the newspaper in his hand and said kindly: "The rain is coming, I have a new arrival here in the Longjing before the rain, you can also come and taste it." ”
Since attending Lan Minghui's funeral, this is the first time he has met Lan Tianyu, seeing Lan Tianyu's increasingly haggard face, Qin Botao felt a pity in his heart, and he was even more ashamed of today's invitation.
Lan Tianyu took two steps, skillfully picked up the purple clay pot from the sea of tea, added a little to the teacup in front of Qin Botao, and then poured a cup for himself, and said: "Uncle Qin will enjoy life, you have cultivated me for so long, but unfortunately I have never been able to comprehend the essence of it." ”
"You are still young now, your experience is shallow, and naturally you can't understand the beauty of tea art, even I only know a little bit about it, and there are still 108,000 miles away from knowing the tea ceremony." After a slight pause, Qin Botao asked with a solemn expression: "Have things been going well in the company recently?" Is there a conclusion whether your dad died of natural causes or whether he killed him? ”
"The bank loan is due in three days, and now the company is panicking, and only by recovering the two heavy treasures that have been transferred can the company's existing problems be solved. But there has been no progress in this contract transfer case, if these two heavy treasures cannot be recovered within a month, I am afraid that what awaits Gu Yun can only be bankrupt. ”
Lan Tianyu's already magnetic voice became even lower, paused slightly, and continued: "The conclusion of my father's death is still difficult to determine, and it is still under in-depth investigation. ”
