Cheng Yubai's body was straight, and at that moment Li Ke was in a trance, as if he saw Cheng Yubai in his youth. At that time, he was as clean and straight as an aspen tree, and he still loved to laugh.

Later, I don't know when the two of them always pointed to each other, and the child rarely smiled at him anymore.

Now, he was a kind of irony with that sharp indifference to the bone, took away the fragments in his hand, threw them towards the trash can, and then walked towards Xu Zhengnan and asked, "Xu Dong secretly recorded something, don't you plan to hand it over?" ”

Xu Zhengnan was also really afraid of death, so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and was blocked in the corner by Cheng Yubai, and he didn't forget to look at Zhang Shuoyang. Seeing that Zhang Shuoyang didn't stop him, he faked a cough to cover up, took out a USB flash drive from his briefcase and handed it to Cheng Yubai.

Xiao Qi had already confessed on the road, Xu Zhengnan tricked Li Ke into drinking, and recorded the audio while he was drunk. He was an ungrateful "unfilial son", the master was seriously ill, he didn't care, and he repeatedly spoke wild words to the master, ridiculed him, and intensified the master's illness.

Once this audio leaks out, it will be a devastating blow to Cheng Yubai. The master porcelain circle absolutely cannot tolerate young people who lack virtue.

Xiao Qi said that he was too panicked at the time, he didn't think too much, and after thinking about it, the audio should have been edited, not Li Ke's sincerity.

Cheng Yubai only laughed at him for being stupid.

What is disgrace compared to reform?

Xiao Qizhi asked him: "But without you, is it still a hundred reforms?" ”

Cheng Yubai's heart warmed, and he was relieved. But when he arrived here, he couldn't be relieved when he saw Li Ke, an old man with half-gray hair, who smashed the teacup to scare people, and how low-level and powerless the tricks he used.

He took the USB flash drive and looked at it, turned his head and asked Zhang Shuoyang: "Are there any other backups?" ”

Zhang Shuoyang said: "You have to ask Xu Dong about this." ”

Cheng Yubai sneered: "It doesn't matter if you have, who can be fooled by the synthetic things?" Xu Dong, you are a mediator, are the masses very easy to deceive now? ”

"That's not, now netizens have no discernment, what the press release says and believes! Oh no, Yibai, don't tease me anymore, I'm going to have a heart attack. ”

"Really? I said that Xu Dong is old and has to control his temper. You usually shout five and drink six, that is because people don't care about you, and you really commit a crime on Tai Sui's head, be careful of your life. ”

Xu Zhengnan's face turned pale, he didn't respond, walked to the table to drink water, and sighed.

Look at this trouble, why is this so? Xu Zhengnan had a relative, and said to Cheng Yubai: "Yibai, you also dissipate your anger, this is not for you, you have to agree earlier, we will not make such a decision." ”

Cheng Yubai said: "If I had agreed earlier, what you want today is not only the Hall of Fame." ”

"Look at your ......"

Cheng Yubai didn't give Xu Zhengnan a chance to gag, and said to himself: "Early tomorrow morning, I will revise the nature of the Hall of Fame, the reward and punishment mechanism will remain unchanged, but there will be no more elimination, and the bonus will also be used as a scholarship to support and help students in need." If the investors disagree, then I will consider temporarily discontinuing the teaching experiment. ”

"You ......"

Xu Zhengnan didn't want to see a lose-lose situation, and tried to appease Cheng Yubai. Zhang Shuoyang said: "If the school is closed, your reform will be useless." ”

"If it continues in the current situation, it will certainly not be the right reform. On the contrary, it's you, the myth of the capital circle is going to collapse, right? ”

Cheng Yubai took a step forward and attached to Zhang Shuoyang's ear and said, "I advise you to go back to Hong Kong as soon as possible, there is a ghost in the family, and you will be disgraced to the international exhibition, if you are found out, how will the Hong Kong media report it?" No matter what, you have to label the unfortunate family of Zhang's family, right? Will the old man still hand over the antique business to you then? I can't see it, after all, you are not the only son of the Zhang family. ”

"You ......"

Although Zhang Shuoyang didn't know what was going on, he saw that Cheng Yubai's attitude was not like a fraud, so he hesitated for a while.

"If you don't believe it, call now to ask about the whereabouts of the longevity peach bowl that flowed out on the old man's birthday last year, and you will know if I am tricking you."

Zhang Shuoyang thought for a moment and laughed: "Do you think that little thing can trip me?" ”

Cheng Yubai said: "Why don't you walk and see? ”

"Yibai, you're still careless." Zhang Shuoyang said with a smile, "In the past two days that you have been away, do you think I am sitting and waiting for pies to fall from the sky?" Counting on Xu Zhengnan's idiot, what can he do? What about me, I'm used to planning ahead, your past entanglements with Xu Qing, as well as your friends, more or less find out a little bit for me, do you say I want to release the news to the reporter and let them carefully pick it up for you? ”

Cheng Yubai's body stiffened and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"But I'm thirsty, why don't you pour me a cup of tea first?"

Zhang Shuoyang said as he landed in the main seat, crossed his legs, and asked Xu Zhengnan with great interest, "How is this tea today?" The female manager was angry with you last time, right? The tea I took was not very fresh. ”

Xu Zhengnan's voice trembled slightly: "Today's is quite fresh. ”

"Then settle the bill and count it as mine."

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality."

"What's that? Ask the manager to bring another bottle of wine, the highest degree. ”

Xu Zhengnan looked at the half bottle of liquor on the table, didn't say much, and called the manager over.

They went back and forth and played officially, leaving Cheng Yubai aside. Li Keqiang couldn't bear the shame, seeing that Cheng Yubai took back the home field, and he didn't know what Zhang Shuoyang said, he suddenly froze in place, thinking that he was threatening him with some bullshit.

Li was about to rush forward, but Xiao Qi pulled him to death, and lowered his voice to forgive: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, I beg you, don't go up and make trouble at this time." ”

Xiao Qibai saw that Cheng Yubai's face was wrong, and Cheng Yubai also gave him a look at this time.

He nodded, and dragged Li Ke out, Li Ke didn't forget to teach Cheng Yubai a lesson: "Just let him publish the audio, I won't believe it, there is no king law in the world?" ”

Xiao Qi called the ancestor directly, and finally took people out of the box. Cheng Yubai breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to pour tea for Zhang Shuoyang.

Zhang Shuoyang smacked the thin strips slowly for a long time, and said that it was good. He also said that today's wine was good, and Cheng Yubai was half an hour late, so he should be punished with three glasses first. Cheng Yubai didn't say a word and drank a pot.

Zhang Shuoyang knocked on the table and talked to Xu Zhengnan.

Xu Zhengnan complained for Cheng Yubai in his heart, this guy is going to fix him to death, thinking about Zhang Shuoyang's style, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

So Cheng Yubai drank two more pots, and Zhang Shuoyang said to him: "Don't bend down, I know that you know the tea ceremony best, and you also know how to talk about the wine table business, the tea is your disrespect, the wine is your miscalculation, I have suffered both of them, let's go back to our places." ”

Zhang Shuoyang also said, "If you want to fish for the moon in the water, you have to cut off the road first." As for you, the fault is that you shouldn't have those weaknesses. ”

Leaving the state banquet at the front door, Cheng Yubai walked forward without saying a word, and Li Ke and Xiao Qi followed suit. Li Ke's bag of medicine fell in the private room, Cheng Yubai took it out for him, held it in his hand, and made a loud noise with every step.

In the silence of the night, the sound was disturbing.

When he arrived at a place with a sparse flow of people, Cheng Yubai stopped, turned his head and asked Li Ke: "Do you know that your behavior just now broke the law?" If Xu Zhengnan calls the police today, you may have to be detained, at least three or five days, at most ten days and half a month, have you thought about the consequences? ”

Li Ke also knew Cheng Yubai's temper, he was obviously on the verge of anger, and he was about to be unable to suppress it, so he waved his hand hurriedly: "I just wanted to scare him, I didn't want to stab him." ”

"You've thought about stabbing him?" When Cheng Yubai heard this, his stomach was like a fire, and his reason was about to stop, "Isn't intimidation a crime?" Do you have any common sense! ”

Li Keduo's face-saving person, how can he be taught a lesson by the younger generation? Because of the slight impatience, he still calmed down and said, "I'm just afraid that he will threaten Xiao Qi with a handle again." ”

"How do you know I'm not home these days?"

might as well Cheng Yu turned around in the vernacular, Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Qi.

Cheng Yubai interrupted the two and said, "I want to hear the truth." ”

Li Ke said, "I was doing physiotherapy in the hospital late that day, and I was a little tired on the way back to the hotel, so I wanted to go to see you for a drink, but who knew that you were not at home......"

It was a very windy night, and he was wrapped in a white coat, and his whole body was physically and mentally exhausted. Xiao Qi sat with him for a while, and he didn't speak after a few conversations, and then Xiao Qi cooked a bowl of seafood soup, which smelled very fragrant, and he couldn't help but eat it.

It was especially tasty.

He thought that this kid had good craftsmanship and was quite loyal to Cheng Yubai.

"I think it's really not easy for him to have this skill as a half-grown child, you shouldn't have been too bad over the years, but I didn't expect that Xu Laogou approached me to harm you, I ......"

"Why didn't you tell me when you were sick?"

"I'm just a little sick."

"Can you take so much medicine for a minor illness? It's not the first time you've been here, and you've been staying in a hotel secretly every time, right? You have been refusing to have a medical examination, did you find out that you are sick a long time ago? Cheng Yubai flipped through the medicine bag, and the bags of Chinese medicine were all to enhance immunity, "What kind of disease?" ”

Li Ke still pretended to be dumb.

He knew that he was at a loss, but he also had his own temper, seeing that Cheng Yubai was getting bigger and bigger, and he scattered all his medicine bags, he said angrily: "Don't worry about it!" I don't need your stinky money! ”

Cheng Yubai laughed angrily: "What you have eaten and drunk over the years, which point has not used my money?" Now you have the backbone to dissociate yourself from me, why don't you tell me if you plan to die? ”

"You have to read a little grace, if I die, you can go to the pillar incense, don't spend a penny, I'm afraid that I won't have the face to see your father when I go underground."

Li Ke got angry when he thought of this, "With all this mess you are doing now, what's the difference between you and those guys?" I've lost all my face by you, you can do it, can you put more effort into it? There are so many scandals, and even the old guys from the former porcelain factory came to ask me, aren't you ashamed? ”

Seeing that the more these two talked about it, the more outrageous it became, they were about to quarrel, Xiao Qi was really afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly grabbed Li Ke and said to Cheng Yubai: "Brother, brother, let's stop arguing, let's take Uncle Li to the doctor first." ”

"I'm not going!" Li Ke took the medicine and said, "I'm ready, I'll go back to the countryside tomorrow." ”

Cheng Yubai understood Li Ke's temper, and forcibly held back his anger and glanced at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi went to coax Li Ke and said to send him back to the hotel. Li Ke also scolded and scolded, but Xiao Qigang listened to him outside the box to defend himself, knowing that this old man was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, so he didn't care about him, licking his smiling face and teasing him.

After the two left, the doctor on Cheng Yubai's dosing list called. The doctor said that Li Ke had a disease of the immune system, and his condition was stable at present, but the course of the disease progressed quickly, and he needed someone to take care of him, and he could not be overly emotional, so it was best to be hospitalized.

Cheng Yubai thought of Li Ke's limping legs when he left just now, and slammed his fist on the tree.

This punch went down, the strong breath was vented, the stomach was tumbling, and the burning liquor was like a tongue of fire, strangling the festering tissues, twitching and spasmodic veins, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat and his face turned pale.

He clutched his stomach and leaned against the tree motionless.

At this time, the phone rang, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the phone. The mobile phone fell to the ground, Cheng Yubai bent his legs and walked a few steps to pick it up, almost stumbling, and when he saw that it was Li Zi, his eyes darkened.

After a few more moments, the phone stopped shouting.

Cheng Yubai turned over, retched under the roots of the tree for a while, stumbled and stopped the car on the side of the road. The driver saw that his face was ugly and wanted to take him to the hospital, but he waved his hand and reported the address of a scoop of drink.

slept all the way home, Cheng Yubai eased up a little, broke out the medicine that he hadn't finished before and ate a few pills. After several days of continuous rotation and almost no sleep, he climbed into bed, thinking about making a call to Xu Qing, but before he could get up, he fainted.

He went back to his childhood in his dreams.

Cheng Min is thin, loves to laugh, talks well, and stands with Li Ke, Li Ke is quiet and pragmatic most of the time, a little stubborn, in Cheng Min's words, people who admit death are not very good at turning their brains.

However, it was this person who admitted death, on the day Cheng Min fished it up from the river, he covered Cheng Yubai's eyes and didn't let him tell the difference between the soaked, soft and chubby corpse and Cheng Min when he was talking and laughing.

For a long time, when Cheng Yubai pinched porcelain clay, he would unconsciously pinch out a fat outline, and every time he stared at the outline in a daze, Li Ke would tell him interesting things about the porcelain factory.

For many years, the fate of Jingdezhen can be said to be the fate of craftsmen. The top ten porcelain factories gradually went downhill after the 90s, but before that, its brilliance is incomparable, Baicai porcelain factory as a private porcelain factory, often not the first to be seen, the founding of the country, the red flag, sculpture porcelain factory, etc., those in the city leaders meeting the street are standing in the front row of the porcelain factory, is the most obvious sign of the times, but even so, Baicai porcelain factory has always occupied a place in the torrent.

It has a whole row of buildings, with machinery level close to the front end of the industry and top technical personnel. Li Ke said that they made a large vase, in the early 80s, 80 centimeters high, weighing 30 pounds, it was precisely the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the porcelain factory, Cheng Min's father did the layout design, the oldest Taidou old man in the Cheng family at that time personally painted blue and white, and the young Cheng Min prepared the blue and white glaze.

Later, the large vase was collected in a museum in Jingdezhen, and Li Ke would go to see it whenever he had time, and Cheng Yubai followed him a few times, and every time he saw a vase, he seemed to be able to see his father and grandfather on the vase.

Li Ke's teaching has always been very strict, every sentence must make him remember the mission, although he felt breathless when he was young, but he was often persuaded by a sense of pride, telling himself that there should be no resistance, over time, Li Ke said he listened to what he said, even if there were puzzles and doubts, he also held back in his heart to digest himself, or find a suitable reason to justify himself.

Later, once a vase was accidentally broken during an external exhibition, Li Ke was furious when he heard the news, and rushed to the museum to quarrel with the owner. At that time, he was looking outside the crowd, and suddenly felt that Li Ke was different from Li Ke who was standing next to Cheng Min back then.

Although he was still thin, with big thick eyebrows and a serious expression, his face became blurred like Cheng Min.

The silent but bright-eyed Li Ke is gone.

After Cheng Yubai realized that, he asked Li Ke: "Master, will I become like you?" ”

Li Ke was very angry and asked him, "What is the same?" How can you be like me? I don't even think about a day like this! In the future, you must make everyone afraid of you, respect you, respect you, and live like they did to your father! ”

At this time, Li Ke was different from Li Ke when he quarreled, and he was covered with dust.

Cheng Yubai asked, "Isn't it still ...... to live like my father?"

He didn't say the word "death", not because he was afraid, but because Li Ke turned his head and gave him a slap, and the hot pain made him silent.

That slap, Cheng Yubai hurt for many, many years, and he finally knew why Li Ke had changed.

He might as well be alive as he died.

That kind of pain continued in Cheng Yubai's dream, he convulsed and curled up, hugged himself tightly, hid in the quilt like when he was a child, and muttered and cried.

He thinks it shouldn't be, how can such a big person still be the same as when he was a child? He tried to wake up from his dream, when a figure approached.

Cheng Yubai felt that the light in front of him was darker, and someone wiped his tears in the dark night.

He opened his eyes, and Xu Qing was in front of him.

The pain was gone.
