Chapter 259: Shi Xiangnan 1
The people and events that Shi Xiangnan experienced in the first 40 years were like a roller coaster ride for him, and the weightlessness of life made him unable to think about how to go next and how far his life would go.
It wasn't until one day that he met a woman and fell in love with her uncontrollably, that it dawned on him, oh, it turns out that I can do so much sacrifice for this woman without asking for anything in return.
According to common sense, as the third young master of a famous family and the successor of the largest enterprise in Shanghai, he has already shown extraordinary business acumen at a young age and has allowed himself to gain a firm foothold in the big family.
But who would have known that such a person praised the industry wizard how he had come to this point surrounded by infinite halo in the first place.
No one knew the hardships involved, so he didn't think it was a special honor to be the president of the times.
When he sat in the huge office, looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows for countless nights overlooking half of the bizarre night scene of Shanghai, there was always a corner in his heart with ripples.
He always thinks of the night when he lost his parents, trapped in it, unable to get out, unable to get out, no one else can come in, and the cycle repeats, so his personality becomes more and more indifferent, and he is even unwilling to say a word to others.
If you want to say that you have a bad personality, no one is such a cold character at the beginning of life.
When Shi Xiangnan was a child, when his parents were alive, it was a lively and innocent age, and he, like other children, liked to join in the fun and like to make trouble.
Although his eldest brother and second brother were all born by his father who was socializing outside all the year round, for Shi Xiangnan, these are not important at all.
As for the maid at home saying that it would threaten his future status, Shi Xiangnan still doesn't care about his own thing, he still likes to play with his brothers everywhere, and even likes to stay with his little aunt Shi Xinting, who is only a few years older than him, and is willing to be someone else's little bug.
Shi Xiangnan knows that only his mother in this family is his father's favorite, and she is also the young grandmother of the Shi family, so no one can shake his status.
His father's extramarital affair did not change much in their lives, after all, his father's return to the family was happy for the whole family, but he never thought that his father and fourth uncle had irreconcilable contradictions and conflicts because of the interests of the company.
Although his father is the chairman of the company, because the fourth uncle is the general manager of the company, without his father's consent, there was a mistake in a super-large international trade transaction, which led to serious losses for the group, and finally had to make a decision by the board of directors to resign his fourth uncle as general manager, and had to stay at home.
No one thought that it was this incident that caused a rift between the brothers, on the surface it has always been calm and peaceful, but in fact, there has been an undercurrent between the two brothers.
It's just that when Xiang Nan's father realized that it was already too late, Shi Xiang Nan also happened to avoid a disaster that day.
Although he escaped, Shi Xiangnan never thought that his happy and brilliant childhood was frozen at the age of eight because of such a disaster.
He still remembers that day, the fourth uncle said that he wanted the whole family to travel together and go to the river to take a boat to enjoy the flowers and scenery as a vacation, so almost the whole family went out that day, and even the old man went with him.
And when it was south, there was really something going on at school that day.
Who told him to be much older than others since he was born, with a pair of long legs, whether he is in kindergarten or elementary school, he is more than half a head taller than children of the same age, and he was recruited by the school's school basketball team when he was just in the first grade of primary school, and became a little basketball player.
On that day, Xiangnan was going to participate in the school's basketball team training, and it happened that he didn't like to take a boat, so he took the basketball and prepared to go to school with the consent of his parents.
He still vividly remembers that when he was about to leave home, his father gave him a new limited edition Bulls jersey, and he was excited, and he didn't forget to wear the new jersey to show off excitedly when he was at school.
When he was out of school, he waited for a long time at the school gate, and usually the driver at home would wait at the school gate early, but this day he had no choice but to wait south for more than half an hour, and he didn't see the car he was familiar with turning in, so he walked home with his friends.
On the way, he passed by the river of the Bund, and he never knew that his parents had fallen into the water here at this time, and the passage to the south was also the last time he passed by his parents.
When he ran to the villa sweating profusely, there was no one in the house, not even the servants, the house was four floors, he ran up and down, and he didn't see anyone.
He had no choice but to take out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, sit in front of the TV and drink it.
I don't know how long I've watched TV, it's already dark outside, but he is the only one in the whole villa, Shi Xiangnan is a little scared, even though he is a big guy, but psychologically he is still a child after all, so he saw a news in the process of turning up the sound of the TV.
He listened to everything in the news in a daze, and suddenly realized why it was empty.
For the next hour, he ran wildly on the way to the river, tears already wet the jersey that his father had bought him, but by the time he reached the river, it had already become a calm tide.
Eventually, when Xiang Nan saw his parents, it was outside the hospital morgue.
The door of the morgue was open, and the two of his closest relatives were lying inside, and the old man was already crying in the corridor of the hospital when the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and this night was the night when Shi Xiangnan's tears ended, and he even cried faint in his head and numb limbs.
In the end, he was carried home by the servants of the Shi family and his seven aunts and eight aunts.
It was a night that he could not erase from his memory, so much so that his body still trembled when he remembered what happened that night years later.
……
At the time of his parents' funeral, Shi Xiangnan's eldest brother and second brother were still hospitalized in the hospital and did not survive the dangerous period, and he was the only child who attended the funeral, and the rest were business tycoons and friends with their parents.
And these people blindly began to curry favor with their fourth uncle, after all, a generation of business predators died like this, and the times must have a successor, as for Shi Xiangnan, the three of them are still hairy young men, so with the ability of his fourth uncle, he naturally took over the power of the times.
At the same time, there was a rumor from the outside world that also reached Shi Xiangnan's ears from time to time, which made him know what is unpredictable and what fratricide is.
He often hid in his room alone, thinking about the rumors, if true, then his parents were really a deliberate homicide caused by his fourth uncle in order to usurp power.
So Shi Xiangnan's current weak strength is not enough to avenge his parents, his parents were in power before, and his parents had the final say on major and minor matters, and Shi Xiangnan was the master of this family.
And what is it now, everything is the final say of the fourth uncle, at best, he and his eldest brother and second brother send people under the fence, simply protect themselves, arm themselves, the road to the future is not bumpy, and it is destined to have a bloody storm waiting for him in the near future, and all he can do is wait to greet him.
……
In order to prevent the fourth uncle from having any other thoughts about him, Shi Xiangnan tried not to let himself be too sharp, and always concealed his ability to do things, pretending that he was not living well under the fence.
Since he was in school, there has been a girl named Qin Yanran who likes him and he likes, and they have been together from high school to college, from home to abroad.
Even if Shi Xiangnan has a certain amount of financial resources and ability, in order to avenge his parents, he can only pretend to be a gentleman in front of anyone, pretend not to be motivated, pretend to have no wealth, and can only rely on his grandfather and fourth uncle to stretch out his hands to eat to open his mouth to waste his time, and all this pretense even Qin Yanran can't say.
But this kind of pretense also made Shi Xiangnan see the true face of the girl he liked for so many years.
Qin Yanran chose the richer little uncle who was about to become Shi Xiangnan as a long-term meal ticket, she betrayed Shi Xiangnan and gave Shi Xiangnan a slap in the face, it was this slap that made Shi Xiangnan not recover for a long time.
Later, Qin Yanran eloped with that man, that is, that year, Shi Xiangnan suddenly began to punch and kick in the business world of Shanghai to show his shrewd business acumen.
He helped his Lin Nianxuan's father's company, Lin Group, go through one business threshold after another, integrate important transnational projects, and finally pulled his fourth uncle from the position of president with the help of Lin Nianxuan's father Lin Zheting.
Even Lin Zheting used his connections to help Shi Xiangnan, who had just debuted young, find the police station to investigate the case of his parents who fell into the water back then.
In the end, Shi Xiangnan finally got his wish and let his fourth uncle be imprisoned, and he was also considered to have been in his heart for so many years.
But who knows, a tiger was sent in, but there was a leopard lurking in the shadows outside, just to be able to get the Times Group.
What Ling Shi Xiangnan didn't expect was that when the fourth uncle was in prison, he told him that since he pushed Shi Xiangnan's parents down the river, every day was tormenting, but at this moment, he felt extremely relieved.
In order to atone for his sins, the fourth uncle also told Shi Xiangnan an amazing secret that he had been investigating for a long time.
At that time, he knew that his second brother Shi Heyang was not his father's son.
Shi Xiangnan thought that he could pretend that he didn't know anything, and after being a brother for so many years, he let Shi Heyang, who seemed to be scheming, spend his time in the times, but he never thought that his momentary soft-heartedness almost cost him his own life and even the woman he fell in love with many years later.
