Mahabo, Prachin, Thailand. This is an area of the old Thai royal residence located in the eastern region of Thailand, further east of Bangkok, also known as Prachin's military palace.

There are 7 counties, 62 districts, and 665 villages. There is a national treasure level Bodhi tree in Maha Bod County, 24 meters high, the diameter of the trunk is 16 meters, it takes 10 adults to hug it, the leaves are extremely dense, and in the peak season, one tree can cover a radius of 52 meters in diameter.

There is an allusion that Shakyamuni once became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree in India, so the Bodhi tree has become a sacred symbol of Buddhism.

At this moment, the Bodhi Treasure Tree was transplanted from India and has a history of more than 1,000 years.

At this time, the Bodhi tree branches are luxuriant, huge and magnificent, and full of momentum. Under the tree was an old man, dressed in a loose gray Tang robe, with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, and gray hair and beard.

Despite his advanced age, his eyes are still as sharp as knives. It seems to be no different from other ordinary old men, but his gestures are full of the spirit of a king.

It is the result of a long period of nourishment by power and money. There was a young girl beside the old man. The girl looks like she is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is very pure.

White dress, white crystal slippers, white Lanlu gloves, white necklace beads. She holds a pair of white headphones in her hand.

This time she didn't wear it on her ears, but in her hands.

"Is your brother's money dealt with?" The old man stood with his hands in front of the Bodhi tree, raised his head and closed his eyes, as if feeling the aura around the Bodhi tree.

The girl in the back put her hands on her abdomen in a regular manner, tilted her chin slightly to show respect, and said softly: "It's done, grandpa." "The two of them are the people of the Ye family.

The contemporary head of the family, Ye Hongzhang, and his granddaughter Ye Wenjing.

"About your brother planting a heel this time...... Ye Hongzhang turned around, looked at Ye Wenjing and said, "Do you have anything to say." Ye Wenjing said: "I don't have anything to say." Ye Hongzhang looked at Ye Wenjing and said indifferently: "Even if it is to clear the obstacles in front of you, do you not hesitate to kill your own brother?" Ye Wenjing said: "He can't die." ”

"Quiet." Ye Hongzhang was silent for a moment and said, "In your eyes, is there really something more important than feelings?" Ye Wenjing frowned slightly.

"Family, friendship, love." Ye Hongzhang shook his head: "People live for a lifetime, and they can't be ruthless." This is the only difference between humans and animals, and you must understand that. ”

"Love is the cheapest thing in the world." Ye Wenjing said: "It's even cheap enough to be exchanged for a steamed bun, a pack of biscuits, a woman, or a house." ”

"I don't need something so cheap."

"In my opinion......" Ye Wenjing's face was serious: "They are just the condiments of human life." ”

"Spiritual condiment."

"In addition to entertaining the body and mind of those who are empty." Ye Wenjing looked at Ye Hongzhang: "It's useless. ”

"I don't need to entertain my body and mind with this cheap thing, to color my spirit."

"I have more important things to do." Ye Wenjing thought for a while, took out a document from the bag on the stone table on the side, handed it to Ye Hongzhang, and then bent down slightly.

Ye Hongzhang looked at Ye Wenjing, who was standing in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to say something, but Ye Wenjing didn't seem to have the idea of continuing to listen.

His hands gently stepped forward: "Please sign." Ye Hongzhang took a deep breath, picked up the document and looked at it.

Inside was a document written all over Russian, about three or four pages long. The subject is marked in Chinese, and it is written: a summary of the guidelines for the development of natural gas and crude oil in Russia and a brief list of conditions for the representation in Russia.

Ye Hongzhang took the document and thought about it, looked at Ye Wenjing and said, "Is it okay for your brother to do this business?" Ye Wenjing didn't speak.

Ye Hongzhang said: "He was locked up by me in Uncle Thirteen, and the whole person was almost stunned. Give him something to do, or he will be ruined. ”

"Wen Jing you know, your brother is arrogant by nature, if you give him the ready-made business in the family to do, he is unwilling to participate."

"The only thing that can make him interested in this life is to compete with you." Ye Hongzhang looked at Ye Wenjing, paused for two seconds and continued: "So, you ......"

"Yes." Without waiting for Ye Hongzhang to finish speaking, Ye Wenjing spoke: "I can pretend that I can't compete with him, and put the business of several neighboring countries into his hands." ”

"I've been acting with you all along, haven't I?"

"For a man who doesn't make it." Speaking of which, Ye Wenjing added. Ye Hongzhang looked at his expressionless granddaughter, and changed his words: "Wen Jing, I hope you remember Grandpa's words." ”

"When one day you think you're at the top of your game, when you think no one can be your enemy."

"When you feel like you're the most powerful person in the world, you don't even need a helper to do anything."

"When you think that only you can, only you can, you don't need anyone, even anyone is already a burden and a burden to you."

"At this time, it is the most dangerous time." Ye Hongzhang looked at Ye Wenjing, and his face gradually became serious: "Because you have to understand that this is an illusion attached to you by God to destroy you." ”

"The Ye family is so big, and the foundation of hundreds of years is by no means dependent on one or two people to develop so far."

"This is built by our ancestors from generation to generation, with the hard work and unity of the city!"

"And not one person!" Ye Hongzhang put his hands behind his back and looked serious. Ye Wenjing was frightened, bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Ye Hongzhang said: "You said that your brother Ye Wenqing is arrogant by nature, but you are even more arrogant than him. ”

"But blood is thicker than water, you have to know that the person closest to you in the Ye family, the person closest to you in this world, except for grandpa, is him." Ye Wenjing listened, but still didn't respond.

Ye Hongzhang continued: "People, if you are not in real danger, you can't remember the power of feelings. ”

"When you were four years old, your brother Ye Wenqing was playing by the river with you, and you fell into the water naughty."

"Wen Qing was sixteen years old that year."

"He jumped into the water without hesitation and pushed you to the shore." Ye Hongzhang stared at Ye Wenjing: "He can't swim." ”

"If it weren't for your thirteenth uncle arriving in time, it would have been your brother Ye Wenqing who was drowned that year."

"If it weren't for your brother's act of jumping into the river, there would be no you now." There was a trace of waves in Ye Wenjing's eyes, and her right hand clenched slightly.

"Do you think the Ye family is really powerful?" Ye Hongzhang said suddenly: "Do you really think that our Ye family is invincible in the world, and you Ye Wenjing are already invincible in the world?" ”

"That's just a third of an acre of land under our feet." A breeze rose, and Ye Hongzhang's robe blew: "You think your wisdom is unparalleled in the world, you think you can manipulate everything." You think you're at the top, you think you don't have an opponent, that's just what you think. ”

"It's just within your knowledge."

"It's just that you haven't found anyone better than you." Ye Hongzhang took a slight breath and sighed: "Wen Jing, grandpa knows that you are excellent, and no one in the world knows your excellence better than grandpa." ”

"But you have to understand, Wen Jing."

"There must be a mountain beyond this mountain. A mountain is higher than a mountain, and a person is higher than a person, so as to form this vast world. ”

"What you see is just what you see, where we can't see, maybe there's another world." Ye Hongzhang's eyes narrowed slightly: "In this world, there is not an opponent who is more powerful than you. Hearing this, Ye Wenjing raised his head curiously and looked at Ye Hongzhang longingly.

Ye Hongzhang said: "The terrible thing is that there is obviously a person who is better than you, but you don't know that he is better than you." What's even more terrifying is that not only do they not let you know that they are powerful, but also make you think that you are invincible in the world and have no opponent. ”

"They're the ones who really play the game."

"But they pretended to be chess pieces and mingled in the chessboard."

"He'll make you feel like you've won, and you'll think you've won."

"But have you ever thought about it......" Ye Hongzhang said in a deep voice: "When a person is in the chess piece position and can manipulate the chess player, this kind of thinking spans more than one dimension. Because you are unclothed in their eyes, naked, without any privacy......"
