Wang Jiancheng said: "I can see that she likes you, but with all due respect, it is difficult for you to get up, it's not that I want to destroy your relationship, even if there is no me, the Qiao family will not agree to your relationship."

Xu Chunliang looked at Wang Jiancheng calmly, and actually admired Wang Jiancheng's sanity and calmness, Wang Cheng was obviously reminding himself that the real problem was in the Qiao family.

Xu Chunliang took the initiative to touch the wine glass with him, and both of them drank the wine, I don't know if it was because of this conversation, they didn't feel any hostility towards each other.

Wang Jiancheng thought that he and Xu Chunliang might not become enemies, but they would certainly not become friends, and the class they were in determined their different worlds, Wang Jiancheng began to re-examine the marriage between Jiang Qiao and the two families, whether he could accept a woman who belonged to him.

The meal between the two of them didn't take too long, and they both happened to be people who didn't like to waste time.

Xu Chunliang declined Wang Jiancheng's kindness to send him back, took a taxi back to Dongzhou Hotel, and sent a message to Mei Ruxue on the way, reporting that he was safe.

Mei Ruxue had been waiting for news from him, and when she saw him return safely, she was relieved.

When I went to draw the curtains, I saw that it was snowing outside, and the eldest brother walked back from outside.

When Qiao Rulong looked up at the lights on the third floor, Mei Ruxue had already closed the curtains.

Qiao Rulong stood in the first snow of the new year, his shoulders already white. He went out early and returned late every day, and he couldn't remember the last time he saw his sister, so he realized that after picking up his sister back to Beijing this time, they rarely talked to each other, shook their heads, and walked into the house.

The reason why I came back to my grandfather here today is because Ye Qingya also came.

Qiao Rulong went straight to the room that belonged to him, and before he could get to the place, he saw Ye Qingya coming down from upstairs, and Ye Qingya pointed to the study.

Qiao Rulong suddenly understood that his grandfather was still not resting and was waiting for his arrival.

Ye Qingya pointed to it again, Qiao Rulong knew that she was going to chat with her sister at night, he nodded, there was not much to say between the couple, he thought that Ye Qingya did not love himself in the depths of his heart, and even disliked his worldliness, although Ye Qingya did not say it, but he also knew that she did not like her current status as a businessman.

Ye Qingya helped Qiao Rulong take off her coat, she tried her best to do her duty as a wife, Qiao Rulong was also satisfied with her, the two respected each other like guests, there is a kind of gentleman's friendship is as light as water, someone has said, this is the best state for husband and wife.

Qiao Rulong came to the study lightly, adjusted his breathing, and knocked on the door.

After receiving the answer, he entered the study and saw his grandfather reading a book under the lamp.

"Grandpa!"

Old Qiao put down the Mao Xuan in his hand, took off his reading glasses, and glanced at his grandson, Qiao Rulong put a box of Korean ginseng on the desk: "I originally wanted to send it to you tomorrow, but it just so happened that you didn't sleep, how about this Korean ginseng?"

Old Qiao said, "Your uncle won't come back for the Spring Festival."

Qiao Rulong said: "The most ** sea is not very peaceful, and it is understandable that I can't take a break from my official business."

"Busy? What does he have to keep busy? I haven't seen how well Pinghai's propaganda work has been?"

Qiao Rulong laughed, he came behind his grandfather and helped him massage his shoulders: "Miss him? Why don't we all go to Pinghai for the New Year?"

Qiao Lao shook his head, Pinghai is too warm, there is no New Year's flavor, he still likes the New Year in the capital.

Qiao Rulong knew that his grandfather had been to Pinghai a few months ago, but he didn't go to Nanjiang to meet Qiao Yuanjiang, the uncle who worked there, and he didn't know what the gap was between the father and son? Grandpa should be disappointed in his uncle.

Among Qiao Rulong's parents, the most suitable person for politics is actually his father Qiao Yuanshan, and his grandfather also put a lot of effort into his father, but his father finally got stuck in life problems.

In order to save his father's political career, his grandfather used a lot of connections, but his father finally broke his heart, and the two finally embarked on the road of severing the relationship between father and son.

In Qiao Rulong's memory, his father abandoned himself and his mother in order to marry a woman surnamed Mei, and even betrayed him

Qiao's family, but in the end he didn't get the happiness he wanted, the woman surnamed Mei died of illness shortly after giving birth to her sister Mei Ruxue, and her father sent Mei Ruxue to Qiao's family, and since then it has been like evaporating from the world, and there has been no news.

Qiao Rulong could see that his grandfather must have loved his father very much in his heart, and he didn't allow anyone to mention his father's name in front of him over the years, but he raised his sister Mei Ruxue with his own hands.

Qiao Rulong never understood why his grandfather insisted on letting his sister's surname Mei, and what was the reason for this?

Old Qiao said, "Your mother came to see me today, and she also mentioned when you and Xiaoya can let her hold her grandson."

Qiao Rulong smiled, "She's been idle again recently." The mother has not been married since the divorce, and the grandfather also claimed to only recognize her as a daughter-in-law, the mother is very filial, and originally planned to live in Qiao's house for a lifetime, until her father sent Mei Ruxue over, and the day her grandfather took Mei Ruxue in, her mother left Qiao's house, Qiao Rulong knew that her sister was always a thorn in her heart.

Old Qiao said, "You've been married for five years, right?"

Qiao Rulong nodded: "My business is relatively busy, and Xiaoya insists on having her own business, so I want to have children in two years."

Qiao Lao sighed and said, "Originally, it was not my turn to take care of this kind of thing, but with a common child, your little family has real meaning."

"Grandpa, I'll hold on."

Old Qiao said, "Xiaoxue looks very happy tonight."

Qiao Rulong said: "Wang Jiancheng invited them to the concert together tonight."

"Oh! They're getting along well?"

Qiao Rulong smiled, "It should be."

Qiao Lao's deep eyes looked at his grandson, Qiao Rulong stood in a proper manner, he and his sister grew up under the teachings of his grandfather.

"Have you ever thought about working for China Investment in the past?"

Qiao Rulong was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "No, my uncle is the boss over there, if I go over, someone will gossip, and Mingsheng Capital is on the rise, I haven't thought about ending it soon."

Qiao Lao said: "Your ability has been confirmed, you have already achieved financial freedom, and continuing to operate Mingsheng is nothing more than a game of numbers.

Qiao Rulong realized that his grandfather had never taken the business world into account, and there was an obsession in the old man's heart, and he hoped that among the descendants, one of them could take on the heavy responsibility of leading the family and maintain their Qiao family's status in this class.

There are some things that money can't do, only power can do it!

Father was once the heir chosen by his grandfather, but his father's fall made his grandfather deeply saddened, although the uncle entered politics and entered the leadership of Pinghai, but the uncle's ability and age determined that he had no room for improvement, and the next few years would be at most the same place.

In Qiao Rulong's generation, he is the only seedling, the Qiao family's requirements for girls are not high, although her sister Mei Ruxue is in politics, everyone in the Qiao family regards her current job as a kind of experience, and has never really pinned hope on her.

Qiao Rulong did not choose to go directly into politics at the beginning, and his grandfather also acquiesced to his choice, but as he became more and more successful in the mall, he found that his grandfather's eyes on him had become different, and he found unprecedented expectations from his gaze, perhaps the expectations were always there, but grandpa was good at hiding.

Qiao Rulong realized that he would sooner or later embark on a career in office, but he had always been in contradictions, freedom and power, which one should he choose? He may choose the latter, but he has not yet enjoyed true freedom.

Qiao Lao said: "Business and excellent business, these years of hard work are enough for you to deal with everything in Huatou, and now is the best opportunity."

Qiao Rulong said, "You're not afraid of people gossiping?"

Qiao Lao said indifferently: "The Wang family should have the consciousness of being virtuous and not avoiding relatives."

Qiao Rulong understands that grandpa will not come forward in person, and her mother came here today because she probably doesn't just want to hug her grandson, although she no longer lives in Qiao's family, but she has always been the daughter-in-law of Qiao's family, and she has great respect for grandpa, and grandpa also treats her as his own daughter, except for raising Mei Ruxue, there is nothing between them

Divergence.

Qiao Rulong believes that his grandfather and mother have reached a consensus on the direction of his future development.

The Qiao family needs a newcomer to lead the future of the family, and grandpa should have made a good layout many years ago, which is why he did not object to his own business in the first place.

Grandpa was a seasoned hunter in politics, and he knew when the right time was to strike.

The opportunity is fleeting, grandpa is aging day by day, and his influence is declining year by year, which can be seen from the situation of coming to visit the New Year every year. Now it seems that it is not an accident that he put his sister in Hushan Town, Dongzhou, Pinghai, and Qiao Rulong now realizes that his sister is likely to be a wayfinding stone.

Qiao Rulong quickly made up his mind: "I'll go to my uncle tomorrow."

Qiao Lao shook his head slowly: "He will look for you."

Qiao Rulong was slightly stunned, with his uncle's status today, he is afraid that his respect for his grandfather is limited to the surface, but grandpa said it so firmly, it proves that he is sure that his uncle can have today's status, and grandpa's support back then is inseparable, Qiao Rulong can't help but think, when grandpa promoted him, did he already lay out for his development today?

Qiao Lao picked up the Korean ginseng: "You go to Wang's house tomorrow and send this ginseng to your Uncle Wang."

Qiao Rulong said: "He lives in a simple place, and he is not easy to meet guests."

Qiao Lao said indifferently, "You are going to deliver something, and you don't have to see him."

Qiao Rulong suddenly understood that his grandfather wanted to let him use this Korean ginseng to test the attitude of the Wang family.
