Chapter Twenty-Three: A Very Similar Smile

The funeral organized by the Ye family for Ye Cheng was scheduled for Saturday.

It was overcast, but it was not a foreknowledge of impending rain, but a kind of suffocation like a web of suffocation accumulated in the air. But this oppressive atmosphere only stops at the mourning hall - white roses and hydrangeas are covered with flowers, the cost of the venue is luxurious, and the funeral scenery is beautiful. Either true or false, the housekeepers and servants kept wiping their tears, Old Man Ye was unwell and was taken down to rest first, and Mrs. Ye threw herself in front of the coffin alone, turning from choking to crying. The cry was heartbreaking. In just a few days, she seemed to be ten years old, her former grace was gone, and her hair was draped over her shoulders.

Those who come to mourn always say "festival mourning" when passing by.

On the other hand, the lounge is reserved for guests, and the atmosphere is completely different.

"Festival mourning" is really only a fluttering sentence, after mourning, when I walked out of the door to change the room, I changed my social smile:

"Eh, this funeral was organized by the illegitimate son of the Ye family, it's interesting. He is also tolerant of humiliation, I heard that he has been raised outside since he was born and is not recognized by the Ye family. When I was a child, I was able to go to school in Kyoto, but later I heard that I was discovered by Mrs. Zhengpai, so I drove it back to my hometown A City......." someone whispered and gossiped.

"He must have been happy with the funeral. Ye Cheng's death, I think it has nothing to do with him. Why is it so coincidental? It just so happened that the road was slippery in the light rain that day, and it happened that the cemetery was located on a hill, and it happened to be in the blind spot of monitoring, and there was no evidence? "One person next to him picked it up," but, putting aside his suspicions, just looking at the illegitimate child is now, it's powerful enough, it's a little interesting." ”

"The funeral is so bad that the outside world can't find anything wrong, but in the eyes of the Ye family's own people, it's disgusting on the surface, but it's hard to say,"

A good funeral is designed to look like a business place.

The lineup of guests was luxurious, but the various relatives of the Ye family were isolated alone, and the guests gathered together, and as far as the eye could see, there were many big names in the political and business circles.

Sima Zhao's heart. Huo Yizhou raised his eyebrows and looked up and down for a moment, and commented coldly in his heart.

He did not hesitate to use his brother's funeral to pave the way to facilitate his connections and stabilize his foothold. Very calculating.

After Huo Yizhou deliberately leaked the news of Ye Cheng's death to the media, he also left room for the Ye family and did not control the direction of the wind. Waiting for the Ye family dog to bite the dog is one thing, and on the other hand, he is also testing the ability of that illegitimate child. Unexpectedly, in order to reverse the discussion of the outside world, the other party spent a lot of money to hire a sailor to bring comments, and created the character of "brotherhood" and "great filial piety". Very smart.

This was Huo Yizhou's first impression of him.

During the conversation and discussion in the hall, the rumored illegitimate child finally came forward in the finale. Ye He was dressed in black, with armbands and white flowers unpicked, and his face was still pale, but under the light of the lights on the scene, he was a little bloody. He bowed lowly, and his voice was clear: "My father is unwell, so I will entertain him." ”

"Contemptible Ye He, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my eldest brother's funeral."

"The eldest brother Ye Cheng is hearty and kind, and he has been upright all his life....... Unexpectedly, God was jealous of the talent, and an accident took him away from us, and the Ye family was all sad. ”

He couldn't seem to speak too loudly, coughing slightly in every half of the sentence, and spitting out the words clearly. It is precisely because it is clear that those descriptors that are almost diametrically opposed to Ye Ben himself are extremely embarrassing. However, Ye He gave people a gentle feeling, a humble demeanor, and a sense of crepe, and the audience couldn't hear whether this was deliberately sarcastic or forced to read words against their will.

Good at camouflage. This is Huo Yizhou's second impression of him.

Huo Yizhou seemed to be smiling, and while his eyes looked at Ye He indifferently, Ye He was also paying attention to him. Ye He finished speaking, picked up the new wine on the cup tray, took a step, and took the lead in the direction of Huo Yizhou.

Turning a deaf ear to everyone's sighs, Huo Yizhou raised his eyebrows, and raised his wine glass slightly with interest: "Ye Xiaogongzi has a dignified appearance." ”

He deliberately teased the other party, and the sentence "little boy" deliberately reminded him of his identity, although he gave enough face, he was full of sarcasm. When Ye Cheng was not dead, the upper circles called Ye Gongzi Ye Gongzi, and now that Ye Cheng is dead, if the Huo family only recognizes the new successor as "small", then the attitude of the outside world can also be imagined.

Ye He thought of this and pursed his lower lip. He was prepared, he was not annoyed, and consciously lowered his posture first:

"Huo Shaocai, the pride of heaven praised by thousands of people in Kyoto, it is better to see than to hear."

"Huo Shao, there were many offends in the previous small fights in business, because I didn't understand the rules when I first arrived, and I also lost the face of the Ye family. Please forgive me if there is any offense. ”

Ye He's tone was sincere, and he could see that he was sincere: "The piece of land on the outskirts of the city, I am willing to let half of it out for free for the Huo family to develop." In the future, I hope that Huo Shao can help more regardless of his past suspicions. ”

Rake up the past.

The piece of land on the outskirts of the city that was robbed by the Ye family, Huo Yizhou took a fancy to it at the beginning, because of its high investment value, if it is used well, the annual benefits will increase exponentially. His original plan was to develop it into a high-end real estate, designed for celebrities, and an assembly-line wealthy area.

After the plot failed, the plan was put on hold.

The pure value of the land is not worth mentioning, but the value that can be created on the land is completely immeasurable and endless. Ye He is now willing to give it away for nothing and let half of the profit come out, not only because he likes Huo Yizhou's unsurpassed business acumen, but also because of his identity as the quasi-heir of the Lin family, he is courting and showing goodwill.

When Huo Yizhou heard this, his eyes darkened. He thought for a moment and bowed slightly: "Since the Ye family has a heart, of course I have no reason to refuse." I just don't know, what is the little boy's plan for that land? ”

This question is testing the depth of Ye He's ability, and he is quietly assessing.

Ye He was not asked, and answered truthfully: "There used to be a multi-functional entertainment area in City A, with a high-end consumption audience and relatively wealthy people. It's a pity that there are fewer people in this class in City A, the liquidity is not strong, and the entertainment area is not properly managed, so it can only be short-lived in the end. ”

However, the marketing model behind this case has a lot to offer. If we can have a grandiose composition, such as positioning it to drive the economy of the neighboring city, we can ......."

The general meaning is basically correct, and the speech is fluent. It seems that he has read a lot of books, especially ambition. This is Huo Yizhou's third impression of him.

The Lin family is now so humiliating this illegitimate son that they treat him as a son-in-law. But it won't be long before Lin Weiyao may not be able to play with him, and he may even die in his hands. Huo Yizhou thought casually.

"It seems that you are familiar with City A." After Ye He finished speaking, Huo Yizhou hooked his lips, just curious, "It may be a little presumptuous." I just heard someone chatting and saying, "Your hometown is in City A?" ”

"To be precise, it's my biological mother's hometown." Ye He corrected, "What's the matter, Huo Shao has also been there?" ”

Huo Yizhou was reminded of the memory, and his peach blossom eyes smiled unconsciously, "I have a ...... Friend," he paused at the salutation, "a little girl." She grew up in Mayor A. ”

Ye He didn't ask about his identity in detail, and followed Huo Yizhou's words politely: "Then she and I can be regarded as half a fellow countryman." ”

"If you have a chance, Huo Shao will introduce you, but you can get to know it."

Next, there was a meaningless business greeting. Before he could say three words, Ye He was called away by the call from the side, he said "sorry for not being with him" and bent down slightly to say goodbye to Huo Yizhou. Straightened up, smiled low at the end, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a very standard politeness, close and distant, very infectious.

Huo Yizhou saw his smile, but he was inexplicably stunned for a moment, feeling that it was familiar, like he had seen a one-to-one replica. Immediately after, Song Shinuo's face appeared in his mind.

But in half a second, it was vetoed by Huo Yizhou himself. He laughed dumbly, laughing at himself for playing the game too much, and he actually thought that Song Shinuo had a delusion.
