Chapter 107: A Special Family Feast (Part I)

The moment I fell asleep tonight, it was as if I had a long dream, dreaming of Chen Momo and his bits and pieces, until the moment of the plane crash, crying bitterly.

Suddenly, someone woke him up, and it was a beautiful woman who put a coat on him. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, it was a KTV private room in Hangzhou, and there were some fruits and wine bottles scattered on the table, and it could be seen that there was a lot of trouble here before. The phone shows the time of June 2010, and the reminder says that a tender project has been completed. Tonight, I remembered that this was seven years ago, and the old man sent him a bunch of tasks at that time. If I'm not mistaken, it's time for the two companies to come out together to celebrate after the project contract is signed. It was late at night, and the woman in front of him was dressed very sexy, sitting next to him with a golden glow in her eyes. Obviously, some "intellectual" people have left "temporarily", leaving only the two of them here. I feel very tired tonight, my head hurts, and some things need to be sorted out again. He took out his wallet, took some cash and put it on the table, and walked out of the door of the KTV room crookedly. It's the middle of summer at the moment, and a stream of heat is pouring up from the air-conditioned room, and I feel a bigger headache tonight. He didn't dare to drive, he wanted to give it to Du Yu or B

a

CY made a phone call, and felt incredible, and finally took a taxi by himself and returned to the place where he lived.

What does it feel like to wake up next to a woman? Very uncomfortable. Closed eyes, I don't know when I rub off half of my eyeliner, broken false eyelashes. The woman's mouth was open, and the turbidity spread with the undulation of her chest.

Open the window tonight, the moonlight is good tonight.

The little jumping penguin on WeChat updated a status. He clicked on it, the familiar interface, the circle of friends is the scenery of the place she has been, and there is no selfie. Many years ago, he would click on it and ask frivolously, "Are you there?" If he was a little more literary, he would probably light a cigarette tonight, but at the moment he just wanted to think quietly about something, something about Chen Momo.

He met Chen Momo on June 1, 2010, at 17:58, Children's Day. It's June 2, 2010, 1:00 a.m., less than twenty-four hours. All festivals are just gimmicks for hookups, and what is replaced is just props. Rather than a group of buddies trying their luck looking for a girl in a dimly lit bar, tonight prefers a single appointment. In addition to the height difference and strong man accidents, tonight has a charm that ordinary men don't have. The brands of the clothes on his body are several very low-key luxury brands abroad, and the strong temperament exuded by his body makes him very eye-catching in the crowd just standing. belongs to the more outstanding but picky appointment candidates, tonight once defined himself like this. He usually picks and chooses to chat, flip through the circle of friends to get a general understanding, and get familiar with it for two or three days before getting to the point. Children's Day is a pretty good excuse, at least a little more festive than Qingming Festival, and the girls can happily wear beautiful clothes to eat in the restaurant. At 17:58, he was sitting in the car waiting for a woman, the engine fire was extinguished, and in a bookstore readership, an active avatar was talking about Marguerite Duras's "Lover". I took a selfie from the circle of friends, it looks good, but the key is that it looks very tender.

If I'm not mistaken, tonight started like this with Chen Momo. From the moment he realized that he had turned back time to seven years ago, he began to reminisce about the past.

"Hello?" This is a trick that Chen Momo learned from his girlfriend, when you meet a stranger and add a friend, you must be polite enough to make the other party afraid. This trick has been tried and tested so much that every time she is polite out of habit, it makes tonight think that she is angry.

"I also hate Margaret Duras." Tonight quickly coded a line of words, and the corners of his mouth smiled.

"So," the girl paused slightly, and unlike before, she said, "then it's nice to meet you." ”

I saw a woman coming out of the apartment from a distance, and I could see that she had been carefully groomed, and she was wearing a short skirt when the weather was not so hot in June. Tonight, he remembered that he had asked her out before, because he thought this girl was in good shape.

"I'm glad to meet you, too." It's a pleasure to meet you again, Silence. Tonight, Chen Momo's short-sleeved pants appeared in front of him, biting his chopsticks and complaining about the expensive food in the restaurant.

The sound of the woman's high heels was gone, and she stopped, smiling in front of the car. Tonight, I reluctantly glanced at my phone twice, confirmed again that I had successfully added friends, opened the car door, and walked out. The woman pretended to have just seen it, just the right amount of surprise, a brief greeting, a boring dinner, and someone was impatient to cut to the chase before the car had even reached the garage.

Tonight refused.

He thought of a long time ago, Chen silently said that the fox spirit is always dissatisfied. It's kind of funny all of a sudden. Days of brewing, spent time, energy, and money just to enter the body of a strange woman. Is it to sign "Visit"?

Chen Momo is a bit of a stupid girl, but she has some words that she thinks she is smart tonight, and she only understands it now.

He has known Chen Momo for seven years. It takes so long that every cell in the body re-divides and becomes a new person. This reluctance is a fact that cannot be changed anywhere.

When the plane passes through the clouds, the river of time begins to flow backwards. Thinking tonight, Chen Momo, we all need to start over.

The company's affairs are as heavy as ever, whether it is a business process or a staggered dinner, tonight is the same as it was seven years ago. But this time, for the first time, I felt powerless.

Routine report every month, sitting in the living room tonight in front of the report, reading every data he clearly remembers in his memory. There was nothing wrong with it, but it seemed overwhelming. The old man took a sip of tea and put the cup there, "Don't read it, there aren't many things you handle that go wrong." ”

Du Yu knew that he came over tonight, and he had long been hiding in the old man's study, and when he saw that he didn't read it tonight, he put down the antique vase that the old man was wearing and ran down from upstairs.

"Okay, okay, it's not a scumbag like me, when will such an excellent god go wrong tonight." Du Yu sat on the sofa next to him tonight. He grew up with tonight since childhood, and he became even more unscrupulous. I took out the key to the Lamborghini from the pocket of my suit tonight, and dangled it in my hand, "I know that you can't escape this today, so I came here to block you." I've wanted to drive this car for a long time. ”

Tonight sat upright and motionless, and the old man lowered his head without speaking. It was as if all that had been taken away was a leaf.

The old man glanced at Du Yu and scolded: "Things that don't become a weapon, like your unproductive father, don't make people worry." Du Yu smiled, whistled and walked out, and when he was about to hear, he heard the old man instructing in the back: "It's better to drive slowly." ”

There was no movement tonight. The old man poured a cup of tea for tonight, "I have known since you were a child that you are a person who understands and knows what you want. ”

Tonight I respectfully took the cup and remembered the moment when I closed my eyes B

a

CY's words in his ear: "Who would have thought that the plane contracted by the company could have such a big accident, I think it may be the old man......"

He controlled just the right smile, "Yes." ”

The old man patted him on the shoulder, as if comforting and warning: "Don't be too tired, if you want to rest, give yourself a few days off." ”

Tonight, I sorted out the neatly assigned documents in front of me, these are the top secrets of the Du family. Whether it is foreign gangster forces, new drug trafficking channels, or some high-level ulterior secrets, behind Du Jiaguang's glamorous company, there are more ulterior and shady deeds. Who can take over these things that can't see the light? Since being involved in this business, there is no turning back. Since no one can take over tonight's position, the so-called "holiday" is just a consolation rhetoric.

The voice of the old man's words, I understand it too well tonight.

"The company doesn't have anything important, and it's usually messing around with a group of people who don't know how to do it, so what's busy." Tonight, I was playing Tai Chi steadily, and suddenly thought of my most fatal mistake.

He used to always try to hand over all the affairs of the Du family clearly, and explain clearly what each department should do, thinking that he could get out of the way. In fact, the Du family has never lacked talents to lead these things, but once someone gets involved in the Du family's business, no matter who it is, no matter how well it is handed over, it is impossible to leave it clean.

"Our Du family...... The old man picked up a general financial report casually, just like a child picking up a beautiful candy paper, looking at it carefully, and dispelling boredom. Xiaoyu, a child, is kind by nature. I don't want him to have too many unclean things on his hands. So sometimes," the sharp look on his gaze when he crossed tonight made him shudder even tonight, who had read countless people, "people should always think about how to write the four words of gratitude and map." ”

"Yes." Tonight, his eyelashes were lowered, and he was being "lectured" like this every moment from the moment he entered the door of the Du family. He is the tool that replaces Du Yu to take care of the entire Du family, he can't rest, and he is not qualified to be a deserter.

The car was driven away by Du Yu, and when he left tonight, Aunt Song, the maid at home for many years, handed over a key to a Bentley, "Mr. said, this will be a traffic jam, if you are not in a hurry, it is good to have dinner and then leave." ”

The gentleman in Aunt Song's mouth is naturally the eldest son of the old man, Du Yu's father Du Tianxiang. He disobeyed his father's wishes and insisted on being with the person he liked. The two of them went to France, made a living by painting, and gave birth to the frail Du Yu. Later, Du Yu's mother lost her life in an accidental car accident, and the heartbroken Du Tianxiang took Du Yu, who was still young at the time, and was forced to return to his old house in Hangzhou to reconcile with his father. The business of the Du family over the years is nominally under his name, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the person in power behind it is still the old man. He has not remarried all these years, and in his free time he hides in the house and paints. He was very gentle on tonight, and although he was distant, he also had a warm courtesy.

"There are still some things that I won't stay here to eat." Tonight, I took the keys, and the Bentley was parked in the public parking lot far from the gate, which was a spare car, and no one usually drove it. Occasionally, Du Yu drove around the neighborhood or someone at home who wanted to go out and didn't have a car, so he just drove it. Most of the time, it is parked in the public parking lot, and there is a special person who regularly inspects and repairs it every week.

There is a long boulevard to the parking lot, Du Yu holds the key in his hand, and he is a little nostalgic for the days when he and Chen Momo were in Beijing, when they took the subway and occasionally took the bus. He knew that now was not the best time to meet Chen Momo again. Although he successfully added Chen Momo's WeChat friend according to his previous experience, now, before he figured out the direction of the matter, he didn't want to act rashly tonight.

After regaining consciousness tonight, the first person to contact was B

a

cy。

If I'm not mistaken, before I fell into a coma, it was B

a

CY called himself. It stands to reason that people who know the reason for the beginning of this incident will not take the initiative to call tonight. From this, it can be seen that B

a

cy is just a pawn of the old man, and it is likely that after something happens to him, the old man wants to use B

a

CY to temporarily take his place and assist Du Yu. In this way, why did Du Yu pick B during his five years in Beijing

a

It goes without saying that CY is the executive secretary by his side. Before tonight, he had been intoxicated with how he got out of the Du family and returned to Chen Momo's side, but he ignored such an important matter. B

a

cy does not belong to the du family, and the forces behind her should not be underestimated, and she single-handedly cultivated her tonight, b

a

CY is by no means the kind of woman who is willing to be manipulated by others. So, since it's the same as tonight, there is the idea of getting rid of the old man and setting up his own door, so B

a

CY is undoubtedly the best candidate for a partner at this time tonight. At the very least, it can still be believed.

"Why did you suddenly think that you were looking for me to eat?" B

a

CY's original name was Su Qian, the eldest daughter of the old man's family of friends, and when she came back from studying abroad, she was sent to the Du family, half as a hostage, and half followed tonight to take care of the Du family's business.

"I think of the last time you said that the medium-rare steak tastes the most authentic, and I want to test it in front of you." Tonight with waite

He bowed his head and said a few words. By the way, I opened a bottle of red wine that had been stored here.

"Now the family's business is not as good as it is every year." Su Qian set up the napkin and mentioned this matter as if she had not intentionally mentioned it. He didn't invite Su Qian to dinner at this time before tonight, and he didn't know if changing the previous time plan would have a butterfly effect, but the only thing he firmly believed in was that this time, only by completely defeating the old man could he avoid the tragedy of Chen Momo's plane crash.

"Where is the business to be done?" Tonight, he was accustomed to be silent, and he knew that Su Qian was referring to the fact that a batch of goods from the Su family was detained by the police a few days ago. It wasn't a clean business in the first place, and her illegitimate brother didn't do it as clean and careful as the older generation, so it wasn't surprising that something went wrong. "Sometimes blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, but I don't know what is a good thing."

Su Qian was silent, and waited for all the dishes to be served before saying yes, and laughed again: "I knew that the dishes in this place are not as authentic as those abroad, but I don't want to come back." I don't see these things, and I don't have the trouble of this moment. ”

"When I see these things, I know how to do it." Tonight, I cut the steak into small portions and slowly put it in my mouth, "If you know what the risk is, you can avoid it." ”

Su Qian is still the same Su Qian seven years ago, she will always stay on the surface quietly, and she can't bear it in her heart when anything happens, and she will be anxious.

"The old one is full of wind and rain, so it's better to steal the day and win something new for yourself." Tonight, I mentioned Su Qian, asking her not to focus on her brother's business now, but to use her mother's rights in private to slowly transfer her assets and empty the old company in her brother's hands.

"I don't know how to start." Su Qian, who has never been bad at understanding, suddenly understood the meaning of tonight, she poured a glass of red wine for tonight, and motioned for him to continue.

"Recently, the old man has a tea smuggling business in his hands, isn't it handed over to you?" The new tea that Du Yu drinks every year comes from a tea house called Xinyu. Tucked away in the Longjing Tea Plantation, this place is like the property of hundreds of humble farmers in it. But in fact, this is the old man's use of the shell to smuggle tea under the guise of smuggling tea. The Su family has always taken the literati route. Poetry, hops, tea, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to antique playthings. Not to mention the excellent friendship between the old man and the Su family, just to say that the antique vase that Du Yu played with casually in his hand was carefully selected by the Su family and specially sent someone to send it over. People are greedy by nature, and the Su family's show of favor like this, and vote for the old man's favor, so he can naturally win his attention and favor.

"Your brother doesn't know the truth of being a man, but it depends on whether you understand it." Refreshed his phone tonight, Chen silently updated a dynamic, and he was in a trance for a moment.

"The ownership of a tea estate, there is naturally a fight." Su Qian's brother is an illegitimate child, and his mother is just the most insignificant eighteenth-tier star in the entertainment industry, short-sighted, and the children who are trained have no rules. Su Qian's mother is a descendant of the Xue surname of the four major families in the south since the time of the Republic of China, and the interests between the various families are naturally taught by words and deeds, and Su Qian has been taught a lot. Although she later went abroad to study, Su Qian still knows a little bit about the rules of dealing with these older generations. This is also the reason why the old man has always disliked her illegitimate brother. is too greedy, and takes any benefit into his own hands. Since the family gradually put the power into the hands of Su Qian's brother, the things sent to the Du family have been worse every year. The old man couldn't see it on his face, but he knew better than anyone what kind of character this son of the Su family was.

"Since it is something that the old man put in your hands, in this tea house, as long as it does not hurt the interests of the Du family, it doesn't matter what you do in other things." A brief summary was made tonight to conclude the outline of the meeting. It is certainly not a wise choice to confront the old man blindly with a clear banner. He wants to use his strength to develop his own power with the old man's foundation. And if Su Qian hadn't betrayed tonight in her previous life, then she would undoubtedly be the most trustworthy partner tonight.

Su Qian narrowed her fox-like eyes and took a sip of red wine. She didn't know what she was asking her to do tonight, one thing was for sure, whatever the outcome, she had nothing to lose.

"Perhaps, it doesn't matter if you give it a try." Su Qian smiled and pasted it tonight, "Now the only one who can think of helping me is the master." ”

She was sent to tonight by the Su family a few years ago, and everything today is just tonight's words and deeds. In private, I also shouted a master tonight.

Tonight, I glanced at my phone, and I was also smiling. This scene is like a conspiracy of adulterers to extort money, and it is not a good appearance in short.

"It's not early, I still have something to do." When I ate seven points, I said this tonight. "It's still early", Su Qian has the intention of retaining, if she usually just sends Su Qian back as a favor. This time tonight, he said, "There is indeed something, the old man came to me to admonish." ”

Su Qian sneered, revealing a child-like dissatisfied look.

Tonight he touched her head, "Good." ”
