Chapter 157: Two Lives
Switzerland, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Jichen sat in the hotel's western restaurant, with only a cup of steaming black coffee on the table in front of him.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch for the third time, having been sitting here for more than half an hour, waiting for someone to come and see.
can make the president of Junshan Group wait for half an hour, and the other party is also bold enough.
Switzerland has been experiencing bad weather lately, with no sunlight and dark skies. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there are workers repairing the road, putting yellow warning signs, pulling the cordon, and a heavy pressure truck slowly driving not far away, it seems that the road is going to be repaved.
Fu Jichen thought, if he delays any longer, he doesn't know if the car can go out.
After another five minutes of waiting, the sightseeing elevator stopped on this floor, the door opened, and out came a man in a suit and leather shoes, arranging his cuffs as he walked, shiny black handmade leather shoes, and wearing a Patek Philippe watch. His real age is over fifty, and judging from his image alone, people will think that he is just over forty and his face is elegant. Although it looks like a superior temperament, it will not bring too much oppressive force.
The man walked over, pulled out the chair opposite Fu Jichen, and sat down.
"Let Mr. Chen wait for a long time, I had a meeting upstairs, and the assistant forgot to remind me." The middle-aged man's eyes were heavy and fell on Fu Jichen's face.
On closer inspection, the eyebrows and eyes of the two are three points similar.
Fu Jichen picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and anyone with a little brain could hear that he was an excuse. Fu Jichen's handsome face showed a faint smile: "Mr. Xiao is busy acquiring the equity of Junshan Group and dismantling the cooperation of Junshan Group, of course he can't find time to meet with me." ”
He had a smile on his face, but he couldn't discern specific emotions in his tone, at least to Xiao Hesheng's ears, there was no anger.
Also, Fu Jichen is now more respected than his old man, sitting in a position second only to the chairman, of course, he has cultivated the ability to be invisible.
"Mr. Chen handed me a name post, no matter how busy I am, I have to come. Tell me what's going on with me. ”
After Xiao Hesheng finished saying this, he raised his hand to call the waiter, and ordered a cup of wine in German, just like Fu Jichen, without adding any black coffee.
The smile on Fu Jichen's face deepened, and he said straight to the point: "Didn't Mr. Xiao ask knowingly?" In order to stir up the project of Huang Junshan, Mr. Xiao flew to Switzerland in person in his busy schedule and promised Lawrence a mountain of gold and silver that he could not eat for three lifetimes. ”
Xiao Hesheng's clear voice did not hide sarcasm: "It's only been a few hours since you landed, but you have investigated clearly." ”
"Now that each other's purposes are known, then open the skylight and say something bright, how can Mr. Xiao be willing to stop, it is better to say it directly, I will consider it at my discretion." Fu Jichen said this not because he was afraid of him, he just wanted to solve this matter in the shortest possible time and in the fastest way, and then return to China.
He has more important things to attend to, and he doesn't have that much time to spend here.
The waiter brought the coffee that Xiao Hesheng ordered, Xiao Hesheng bowed politely, thanked the person, and turned his gaze back to the face of the man opposite.
This was the first time he had dealt with Fu Jichen, and since he sat down, he looked at Fu Jichen many times, and felt more and more that his eyebrows and eyes gave him a sense of familiarity.
Xiao Hesheng retracted his gaze and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window: "I came to see you just out of curiosity, curious about what kind of person Junshan is in charge of now." Actually, I don't have much to talk to you about, and if your father were sitting here today, I might be able to say a few words to him, and as for you, there's no need to waste time. ”
Xiao Hesheng said ruthlessly, and he could even say that he stepped on Fu Jichen's face on the ground.
Fu Jichen didn't get angry, and listened to Xiao Hesheng continue: "From the moment I made a move, I didn't plan to hide in the dark, I can be regarded as hostile to your Fu family, Lawrence's matter is just the beginning, no, buying the shares in Fu Yunhan's hand is the beginning, and the number of confrontations with the Fu family in the future will only be more and not less, but I hope that next time, it will be your father who comes to talk to me." He is like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding under the protection of the Fu family, and it is time to come out to meet the old man. ”
Xiao Hesheng picked up the coffee cup on the plate and took a sip.
Regarding his words, Fu Jichen did not comment.
Xiao Hesheng glanced at his watch, put down the coffee he had only taken a sip of, moved his chair and got up, said "goodbye", and ended the meeting.
"May I ask why?" Fu Jichen leaned on the back of the chair without moving, crossed his hands and ten fingers, rested on his overlapping knees, and moved his gaze calmly upward, looking at Xiao Hesheng.
The gray sky shrouded Xiao Hesheng's face, making his warm face a little gloomy.
"Because your mother is the executioner, your father is an accomplice, and your Fu family owes me two lives. I didn't let your Fu family kill people, and it was light to pay for your life. Xiao Hesheng's tone was not heavy, but the hand he held the back of the chair was tense, which was enough to see his hidden resentment,
Fu Jichen looked at the skinny hand silently, and under the table, his interlocked fingers tightened, and his heart was indeed like this.
Xiao Hesheng didn't want to say much to him, and was about to leave, but he heard Fu Jichen's unhurried voice behind him: "You mean Xiao Heting?" ”
Xiao Hesheng's pupils trembled, and he turned his head to look at the person sitting there.
He hadn't heard the name "Xiao Heting" mentioned for thirty years.
That was his only sister, his only remaining relative in this world after the death of his parents, but he didn't take good care of her, making her fall in love with a man she shouldn't love, and finally ended up with two lives. In the best of years, she should have been carefree, but she died in a foreign land.
When others hear the name "Xiao Heting", they are afraid that they will think it is a boy.
The parents originally gave their sister this name in the hope that she would not be limited to her gender, and that she could run around like a man and do what she wanted.
In fact, his sister's personality is indeed like a boy in some aspects, resolute and assertive, which is why he was relieved to leave her alone in the mainland, while he concentrated on his career in Hong Kong City.
He didn't expect such a person to fall headlong into the pit of love and sink into the mud.
His parents died in a plane crash, and he and his sister lived together.
My sister has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and at the age of seventeen, she came to Yicheng in the mainland from Hong Kong City, and worshiped under the name of the calligraphy master Long Qishan, and became his only closed disciple.
The siblings usually communicate by phone, almost three or five times a week.
Once, Xiao Hesheng heard his sister mention a man on the phone, and that was not the first time Xiao Hesheng heard the name "Fu Zhengjun". As a businessman, he had long heard that the eldest son of the Fu family was a famous Confucian merchant, young and capable, and the most praised thing about him was that he had a gentlemanly demeanor, unlike other businessmen who were decisive and mercenary.
Fu Zhengjun went to Yicheng on a business trip that year and went to visit Master Long Qishan, the purpose of which was to ask him for a calligraphy and painting to celebrate his father's birthday.
It was there that he met Xiao Heting and fell in love at first sight.
After Xiao Heting's death, Xiao Hesheng packed up his sister's belongings and saw her description of that day in a diary.
Yicheng is always rainy in autumn, often not seeing the sun for most of the month, but that day is beautiful and cloudless, it is a rare good weather. She practiced calligraphy in the gazebo, her waist-length hair half-pulled with a wooden hairpin, and she wore a moon-white shirt and long skirt, and the wind blew and scraped the rice paper full of words on the stone table onto the cobblestone path outside the gazebo. At that time, the housekeeper happened to lead Fu Zhengjun through the moon cave door, and a piece of rice paper was impartial, floating to his instep.
He bent down to pick it up, first saw the majestic and full of elegant fonts on it, admired it, and raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of a shadow in the gazebo.
Xiao Heting turned back with a brush in his hand, and the two looked at each other as if they were destined to meet, and fate tied a knot for them at that moment.
Since then, Fu Zhengjun has frequently visited the mansion of Master Longqishan in his spare time, and the two have feelings for each other in talking about poetry and painting, and promise to live for life.
Xiao Hesheng, who is far away in Hong Kong City, after the death of his parents, supported the company alone, those elders disobeyed him, and the internal strife of the company continued, he was really lacking in skills and had no time to take care of his sister.
Talking to Xiao Heting on the phone again was the day she expected to return to Hong Kong City, but she said in a vague voice that she was not feeling well and would not go back for the time being.
stayed for more than half a month, and then she couldn't hide it, so she admitted that she was pregnant, and the fetus in her womb was Fu Zhengjun's.
At that time, Fu Zhengjun's affairs in Yicheng had been completed and he went back to Beicheng.
Xiao Hesheng was angry with his sister for the first time, scolding her on the phone for not knowing self-love, and should not have had a child with a man without preparing anything, and asked Fu Zhengjun if she knew about her pregnancy.
Xiao Heting has her own pride, and confessed to her brother that she hadn't told Fu Zhengjun yet. Xiao Hesheng still remembers that her sister's gentle voice on the phone, with the joy of being a first-time mother, she said: "Zhengjun told me before leaving that he would ask his family for instructions after he went back, and officially hired our Xiao family." When he proposes to me, I'll tell him the good news. Brother, I'm getting married. ”
However, she waited for a long time in Yicheng, but she waited for the news that the Fu family's son was about to get engaged to the Wei family's daughter.
