Chapter 223: Then I Don't Want It

Today is Sunday, and it is a comfortable day for white-collar workers.

This is an era when 996 blessings have not yet become a trend, at least for some companies...... Many white-collar workers put down their work and wandered leisurely on the streets, many fashionably dressed girls walked into the clothing stores next to the street, there were more cars on the road, and construction was underway in some places, which seemed to be widening the streets - some people in the upper echelons have realized that in the next few years, both people and cars will become more and more, so they have done the business of expanding the road in front, but at this stage, traffic jams have become the norm...... Be patient.

In a teahouse next to the street, several tables of guests are leisurely playing cards, and there are several groups of guests who come to rest in twos and threes on the card seat next to it, but in one corner, there is only one middle-aged man, who ordered a cup of black tea, meditated quietly, and seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.

This middle-aged man is none other than Hou Lin.

At this time, Hou Lin was using his fingers to pluck the cigarette case on the table, he used his right index finger to gently press the cigarette case, and the other fingers gently moved the four corners of the cigarette box, so the cigarette case turned on the table.

It looked a little boring, but after a moment he seemed to come to his senses, stopped what he was doing, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it for himself.

It's still the kind of cheap Hongtashan cigarettes.

Taking a puff, he slowly exhaled a puff of mist, and then expertly shook off the ashes of his cigarette, his nails probably yellowed a little from his regular smoking.

How do you talk to it?

It's been a long time since I've seen Yi Yang's kid.

The last time he saw him at Yi Hongyao's funeral, he was so young that Hou Lin wasn't sure he could still recognize Yi Yang.

He recalled the things he chatted with Yi Yang's second uncle, that is, Yi San.

When Yi San described Yi Yang to Hou Lin, he naturally picked it up and said.

Hou Lin could naturally hear his overflowing pride from Yi San's mouth.

In Yi San's mouth, Yi Yang is a virtuous, sensible and mature child, of course, rural people, especially rural people like Yi San who have not read any books, are not very eloquent, and they must not be able to be more vivid or even concise when describing, plus they are still a little nervous when narrating, and there are only a few words to say.

Hou Lin listened patiently, and most of his impressions of Yi Yang were sketched by his imagination.

In his imagination, Yi Yang is probably a young man with glasses and a polite manner, this is the external image, and I heard Yi San say that Yi Yang is very thin...... Here he has a little misunderstanding, parents feel that their children are too thin, Yi Yang's well-proportioned figure has become malnourished and skinny in Yi Sankou, so in addition to being polite and wearing glasses, add a little height, add very thin, and form an initial image of Yi Yang in Hou Lin's heart.

In terms of personality, according to Yi San, Yi Yang is a gentle person who doesn't like to talk much, and these elements add up to become his final appearance.

Hou Lin thought that Yi Yang had been studying, and because he had no father or mother since he was a teenager, his personality would probably become a little withdrawn......

In fact, he had long wanted to come to Yi Yang, but after Yi Hongyao's accident, the company had a lot of messes that needed to be cleaned up, and he had also been in debt for so many years, so he really couldn't spare the energy and time, and he learned that Yi Yang was taken care of, so he hasn't done it since Yi Hongyao's funeral.

Just as he was thinking like this, a voice from the bar not far away asked, "Hello, I'll look for Mr. Hou Lin." ”

Hou Lin's expression moved, and he looked over there, only to see the back of a tall man wearing a sportswear.

It was Yiyang.

At this time, the bar counter also pointed to Hou Lin's booth, so Yi Yang looked back in that direction, and just happened to see Hou Lin looking here.

Yi Yang still has some impressions of Hou Lin.

Nature comes from a previous life.

The scene in which they met in the previous life was very different from this one.

Yi Yang vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he was probably about a freshman in high school, when he was the most stubborn period, studying in Qinghe No. 2 Middle School, and often fighting, and Hou Lin took the initiative to find him.

At that time, Yi Yang didn't have a good impression of Hou Lin, who claimed to be his father's friend, and of course he didn't have a bad feeling...... It's just that I don't feel it, and I wasn't excited when I met.

At that time, his impression of his father was far away, and he didn't care about everything about him, and at this time, there was a person who asked him to call him uncle, which was really a strange thing.

At that time, the impression of Hou Lin was like, "Oh, he's an uncle", and it was over.

Naturally, it was impossible to be very enthusiastic, and Yi Yang could still feel some sad emotions after Hou Lin learned about his current situation...... This made him very unhappy at the time, because it pricked his sensitive nerves, and the thought at that time was, how old are you, what right do you have to be sad about my life?

I vaguely remember that when Hou Lin was looking for himself, he seemed to have mentioned something about the land, saying that he should not let himself sign any agreement, but unfortunately he was too young at that time and had no culture, so he didn't understand what he said.

Later, Hou Lin also looked for himself a few times, and each time he would give a little money or something, until one day Hou Lin never came again, and later, after receiving an obituary text message from Hou Lin's family, he learned that this cheap uncle went to the field to talk about a business, but he suffered a ferry crash and died.

At this time, seeing the old man, Yi Yang's mood was not a little melancholy.

Yi Yang smiled, smiled at Hou Lin, beckoned, and walked over.

Hou Lin showed a surprised expression, surprised to be precise.

On the one hand, it is a surprise to Yiyang's image...... The appearance of Yi Yang that he had just constructed in his mind was basically completely overturned at this time, without glasses, nor as thin as he imagined, the only thing that could touch his imagination was Gao ...... But Gao was also a little higher than he thought.

On the other hand, the surprise came from Yi Yang's smile.

Naturally, Hou Lin recognized Yi Yang at a glance, because after all, Yi Yang looked very similar to his father, and that feeling almost immediately made Hou Lin think of Yi Hongyao.

However, Yi Yang had no reason to be able to know himself, so that smile was surprising, which did not match Yi Yang's withdrawn personality in his mind.

Hou Lin has imagined many kinds of meeting scenes, and more often it is: an introverted and nervous teenager who faces himself cramped and unnatural...... Just like all ordinary teenagers of this age, they face a stranger, and then, under their own guidance, complete this formal meeting......

But Yi Yang's smile is natural and generous, and it can be said that it is the opposite of the imaginary scene.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Hou Lin returned to his normal demeanor and beckoned him to sit opposite.

Yi Yang sat opposite Hou Lin very calmly.

Hou Lin has been observing this eldest brother's only son since Yi Yang came over, and his calm appearance made him think of his eldest brother.

"What to drink? Whatever you want. Hou Lin slowly pushed the drink list over, and did not introduce himself as an opening.

Yi Yang didn't look at the wine list, and said calmly: "Just boiled water." ”

"Let's drink black tea." Hou Lin shook his head and said, "Your father liked to drink Jin Junmei the most when he was alive. ”

Yi Yang's expression moved slightly, and he nodded: "Okay." ”

Hou Lin called the waiter, ordered a cup of Jin Junmei, and then put his gaze back on Yi Yang, but he didn't know what to say for a while...... When he and Lu Dingsheng followed Yi Hongyao back then, he was stupid, and he didn't grow much after so many years.

Originally, he had just thought of some words, but he didn't know how to speak in the face of Yi Yang at this time.

Yi Yang was not in a hurry, he sat there silently, since it was the other party who came to him, just wait patiently for the other party to speak.

After a pause, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere, Hou Lin said with a smile: "The last time I saw Ling, it was your birthday when you were three years old, but I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye." ”

Yi Yang smiled in agreement: "Time flies really fast. ”

Hou Lin glanced at Yi Yang deeply and said, "I heard what your second uncle said about you, you are very good, and the spirit of the eldest brother in the sky will be very pleased if he sees you now." ”

"Hmmm......"

"If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Hou......"

Yi Yang pondered for a moment before he said, "Hmm...... Uncle Hou. ”

A smile appeared on Hou Lin's face, but he could also feel that Yi Yang didn't trust him much.

But this hint of distrust made him feel a little happy, which shows that Yi Yang is not the kind of child who is easy to be coaxed, although the heart of a child is very good, but in this society, the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is a good thing to be vigilant and cautious at all times.

Hou Lin continued: "I came to you today to tell you something. ”

Yi Yang nodded.

After a slight pause, Hou Lin began to talk about the land, which was basically the same as what he had told Yi San.

During this process, Hou Lin had been observing Yi Yang, but gradually his heart became a little surprised......

If someone tells you that you have a piece of land worth millions in a first-tier city, probably very few people can keep their composure, not to mention a teenager, even an adult, I am afraid that they will jump up in surprise, but Yi Yang listened so calmly, and for a while it made Hou Lin have a ridiculous idea, did he not understand what this meant?

Hou Lin didn't say anything about 5 million, so according to his thoughts, Yi Yang should jump up with joy, or no matter how bad it is, he should also show a surprised expression.

But there was no trace of surprise on Yi Yang's face, and even when he heard the back, the young man's brows furrowed slightly, he lowered his head and bit his fingers gently, and then took a sip of tea.

"In short, if someone comes to you to sign a contract with Lu Dingsheng, you must refuse." Hou Lin finished speaking.

Yi Yang didn't answer, he thought to himself for a while, the vague memory of the previous life, what Hou Lin said, under the cognition of this life, slowly pieced together the general outline of things...... Some doubts were also solved, he glanced up at Hou Lin, and asked a key question: "So...... That piece of land doesn't actually belong to me, right, at least for now, the land rights are in Lu Dingsheng's hands? ”

Yi Yang's tone, demeanor, and speed of speech gave Hou Lin an illusion, as if the person sitting opposite him was not a teenager, but a middle-aged man who had been in the society for a long time, and his expression became a little serious: "It's only temporary, we have an agreement." ”

Yi Yang was silent for a while and asked, "Can you tell me how much money it will take to get that piece of land back?" ”

Hou Lin was also silent for a while, looking at Yi Yang's eyes, he sighed slowly: "5 million." ”

"Then I don't want it." Yi Yang raised his head and suddenly showed a big smile.

Hou Lin's heart was shocked, his emotions became a little excited, he waved his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone: "No! This is your father's legacy to you! ”

Yi Yang shook his head and shrugged with a smile: "It's not anymore, and according to your uncle, the current situation is that we want to find someone to take over, but we can't find anyone, if we can find a big boss and let him buy the land at the market price of seven or eight million, we will take five million to repay the debt, and the rest can still make a little money...... But such a person can't be found, so doesn't it just say that whether you can go back to that piece of land depends entirely on Lu Dingsheng's mood. ”

Hou Lin said categorically: "If you are worried about money, don't worry, I will find a way to deal with money!" ”

Yi Yang continued to shake his head: "Uncle Hou...... I'm sorry if what you're saying is true, I know it might be a bit rude to say that...... Well, if what you said is true, then these two pieces of land have actually been paid silently from the beginning, and they have nothing to do with me......"

Hou Lin shook his head solemnly: "No, you are wrong, if it weren't for the fact that you are the son of the eldest brother, do you think that Lu Dingsheng would agree to invest in the acquisition back then?" He also did this for the sake of his eldest brother's face, but he probably didn't expect that later the land began to appreciate, and he coincidentally bought a few abandoned factories nearby. ”

Hou Lin sighed: "It's just that his original intention back then, along with the value of those two pieces of land now, has probably been worn out." ”

Yi Yang was able to understand the logic.

Let's put it this way, now that Lu Dingsheng owns those two pieces of land, he can connect a piece of land that he bought, and the development value of the whole land will rise by at least a few percent, so those two pieces of land are worth far more than 5 million to him, in the face of huge interests, even if he can miss the old feelings, but a company is often an interest group, and it is not only his own company, and others may not agree.

Yi Yang shook his head, he didn't plan to continue this topic, according to Hou Lin, this matter is really not something he can control at the moment.

However, at this time, Yi Yang still didn't fully trust Hou Lin, he took a sip of tea and changed the topic, "By the way, Uncle Hou, what kind of person is my father?" ”

"Big brother?" Hou Lin showed a look of remembrance, and smiled after a moment.

"Big brother, he's the most daring business wizard I've ever seen."

Yi Yang's heart moved, and he asked again, "Can you tell me your story?" ”

Hou Lin laughed heartily, obviously happy to talk about the topic, he took a puff of his cigarette, let out a long sigh, and said, "When I met my eldest brother, I was still a mason......
