CHAPTER XXIII

The wind at night was whirring, the branches of the big trees outside the window were creaking, and the moon quietly revealed its mysterious face. There seemed to be some dark shadows on the moon of the disk, perhaps the Guanghan Palace that had been around for a long time. The stars in the sky blinked, and the Cuiwei Smoke and Rain Park was gone. The movement of people seems to be quiet. The pavilions, small bridges and flowing water in the park seem a little lonely under the reflection of the moonlight. Yang Lisha walked. Wu Jingquan knocked on the door of his bedroom and said, "Jingquan, have you slept?" Wu Jingquan replied: Not yet, and then opened the door. Yang Lisha said to Wu Jingquan: "I'll talk to your father on the phone, tomorrow we will be a family, you, Yanmei, and Yu Zhufeng will arrive together." Your dad has a family dinner. Wang Yijun and your brother Wu Jingquan will also attend. Tomorrow this family banquet should be quite grand. Your aunt, Wu Guoxiang and his daughter Bai Annie, will also come over. Wu Jingquan looked at Yang Lisha and said, "Is that all?" And then what? Yang Lisha said: "I know that Wang Junyi and Wu Jinquan will definitely embarrass you, but you don't have an argument with them, after all, this is your banquet." We decide how to proceed with your wedding, and your father has given in. ”

Wu Jing Circle. was a little happy at first, and then said coldly: "Even if I don't have an argument with Wang Junyi and his son, it is estimated that they will attack me, after all, they have been doing this for more than ten years." Our position in the family has not changed in any way. Wei Yanmei, who was on the side, looked at the two mothers and children and couldn't help but interject and said: "The Beijing circle still listens to my mother's words, after all, this is our wedding, and we need to get the blessing of the elders." If they really embarrass us, we can get married and leave Beijing and choose the life we want, so that no one can stop me. Wu Qingjuan looked at Wei Yanmei, nodded softly and said, "I listen to you for everything." Then Wu Jingquan said to Yang Lisha: "Mom." I told my aunt that I still have to get a lot of money from my father, and we will start our own business, and when I make money, you don't have to look at Wang Junyi and his son's faces. Yang Lisha suddenly thought. I haven't talked to your father about this matter yet, so tomorrow morning we will go to your father together and raise this matter with him, it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, the family's assets are so big, and the group company has RMB, so it shouldn't be a problem to give my son a little money. Wu Jingquan said: "Thank you, Mom, the weather is not early, you should rest early, tomorrow we have to be energetic to deal with the upcoming banquet." After saying this, Yang Lisha left Wu Jingquan's room and returned to the bedroom. After sitting quietly for a few minutes, I went to bed and fell asleep tired.

The next day, the weather was very refreshing, and the breeze made a cracking sound when the curtains were blowing. Wu Jingquan, Yu Zhufeng and Wei Yanmei all got up very early, because this was the professional habit of their soldiers. After a simple exercise, I had breakfast, and then Yang Lisha got up. The three of them waited for Yang Lisha to have breakfast, then got into a Bentley car and slowly drove out of the gate of the villa. In the morning of the capital, there is a lot of traffic and people. One car after another on the road. Bentleys are not flying cars, so they can only drive slowly on the road. From time to time, there were a few red lights, and it took a long time to come to a skyscraper in Beijing's Dongcheng District, where wealthy people gathered. Mr. Wu's residence was on the top three floors of the skyscraper, and the four-person Bentley sedan entered the underground parking lot, and several people got out of the elevator after getting out. The elevator moves upwards at a constant speed, and you can see the street scene outside. As the elevator continues to move towards high speed, it seems as if it has entered the clouds. Outside, the building becomes like a group of matchboxes, and it looks spectacular. The sun in the sky also shot into the elevator, warm. Just as everyone was relaxing, the elevator arrived with a ding. Coming out of the elevator and into the roller shutter is a golden door. After losing the code, the door opened, and the housekeeper inside came out. said: "The young master and his wife are here, and the master has been waiting inside for a long time." ”

Saying that, the four of them entered the hall, which was extremely luxurious, a European style. There was also a huge crystal lamp hanging from the small dome, and on the sofa, Wu Guoxiang and his daughter Bai Annie waited early. When he saw the crowd, he immediately walked up to say hello. Wu Guoxiang said: "Oh! As long as you come slowly, I'll be here for a while. Then he pointed to Yu Zhufeng and said to Bai Annie: "Annie, this is what I mentioned to you." Colonel of the Special Commuter Brigade of the Eastern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Ph.D. of the National University of Defense Technology, Yu Zhufeng. Yu Zhufeng saw Bai Annie for the first time, and felt that she was bright and moving, and she may not be very stunning, but she has a taste of everyone's beauty. The clothes worn are also not luxurious, showing good taste. Anne Bai is a goose-egg year, her big fluttering eyes blinking, like love words between lovers. Bai Annie saw it, and the handsome and elegant Yu Zhufeng also felt that his eyes lit up, and it seemed that the deer in his heart was a little chaotic, and then walked forward and politely stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, my name is Bai Annie, a doctor from the Department of Mathematics of Kyoto University in Japan, and now I am working at the Beijing Computer Research Institute. Yu Zhufeng shook his hand politely and said, "I am very happy to see you, Miss Bai Annie is just like your mother praised, you are indeed a beautiful and intelligent girl." After the two exchanged pleasantries, the family sat down. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from upstairs. Then an exaggerated voice shouted, "Yo! It turned out that Jingquan and his fiancΓ©e came over, you see that I was busy until now, and it was really not well received. "Everyone looked up. I saw a bejeweled lady walking down, he was Wang Junyi, the mother of Wu Jingquan.

Wang Junyi walked down the stairs step by step and slowly came to Wei Yanmei's side. Facing her, Wei Yanmei smiled: "Yo! This girl is really handsome, it seems that she is really blessed in the Beijing circle to find such a beautiful girl. In the future, in our family, we must honor our mother-in-law Lisa, we all count on you to spread the branches and leaves of our family and pass on the lineage. After saying that, he laughed. Wei Yanmei smiled at Wang Junyi and said: "Hello Auntie, it is our own business for me to marry the Beijing circle, we will naturally do our duty to the next generation, honor the elders, and hope that the elders can bless us." Wang Junyi looked at Gui Yuemei and said with a smile: "That's natural, that's natural." Well! You can meet your brother now. Kyoquan. There was another sound of footsteps on the stairs, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked down. From his brand-name suit and expensive watches, coupled with a handsome face, he is simply a young president. Wang Junyi said proudly: "This is my son Wu Jingquan, who is the elder brother of the Beijing circle and a Ph.D. from Harvard Business School, who is now managing our family company, and of course the future successor of our family company." She said this proudly. Wu Guoxiang on the side. Privately, he made a contemptuous voice, but immediately hid it, stood up and said, "Yo! It's Kyung-kwan who came down. Come to my aunt and let me take a look, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight in the company recently, and it is really distressing to look at my aunt. ”

Bai Annie watched Wu Jingquan walk down, watched quietly from the side, and then turned her gaze to Yu Zhufeng. Of course, this subtle difference was captured by the careful Yu Zhufeng, and for a while, the whole atmosphere was thick, and there was nothing special. Just when everyone wanted to speak, heavy footsteps came from the stairs, and Wu Guohao came down. Wu Guohao looked at the large number of people in the living room, and looked a little happy. When he turned his gaze to Wei Yanmei, a displeased expression appeared on his face, and then he still restrained himself and walked down. Say to everyone, "Oh! It turns out that you arrived earlier than me, and you can talk. There are a lot of things to eat at home, and the fruits are all shipped from abroad, so you can enjoy them first. Here with each other. To speak freely. After a while, I asked the chef to cook the meal, and we had a dinner together to discuss the wedding of Jingquan and Wei Yanmei. As elders, this is what we should do. Yang Lisha, who had been beside her without speaking, stood up at this time and said, "Hmm! I hope that my son Jingquan can have a perfect wedding with Miss Wei Yanmei, get everyone's blessings, and wish them a long time to go on and open up their own lives. Don't be a slave to money like some people. After saying these words, Yang Lisha. Then turn your face to the side. Hearing these words, Wang Junyi said expressionlessly: "Hmm! Jing Quan, if you don't communicate with the Beijing circle, we can help him if he has any difficulties. Wu Jingquan nodded and said to Wu Jingquan: "You come with me to the study." ”

Wu Jingquan followed Wu Jingquan up the stairs. After passing the stairs, turn left and enter a magnificent hall full of books, carved sandalwood shelves with some ancient kings, a large crystal chandelier in the roof, and a leather sofa on the side. Wu Jingquan walked to the desk and sat on a chair, motioning for Wu Jingquan to sit on the sofa. Wu Jingquan did so. Wu Jingquan looked at Wu Jingquan for a while, and then smiled contemptuously: "Since you were a child, you have been a naughty and uncompetitive guy. I thought that you joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army and had at least a little military spirit, but I didn't expect to lose even your own arm on the battlefield. Now that I'm back at home, I plan to mix up a position at home, and I'm still messing around like this all my life. Wu Jingquan listened to Wu Jingquan's words and had nothing to refute. Since he was a child, his brother's shadow has pressed him and made him breathless. Still, he said: "Put away your contemptuous words, I fought for the Motherland, for which I lost my own arm, and I have nothing to regret." It's not like you're just sitting in the position of a family group, harvesting other people's wealth for nothing. Wu Jingquan laughed and said, "Yes, now I am sitting in the seat of the family group and managing the company. If you think about it, I control most of the company's departments. In the future, my father will pass on the position of chairman and president of the company to whom. So for now, you better put away your ignorant and arrogant language. If you offend me, you will get nothing in the future, after all, you know in your heart that you are not my biological brother, you are just a child born to your mother and my father. ”

Wu Jingquan heard Wu Jingquan's words, and said angrily: "You can talk about me, but you can't talk about my mother." No matter what, in terms of blood, you are also my father's son, and I am also my father's son, I can naturally inherit a part of the family's wealth, and you can't cover the sky with one hand. Wu Jingquan said: "Oh! The point is that you have lost an arm, become a wreck, and now you are back home to inherit the family's wealth. You didn't contribute anything to the family business, you didn't work a day, and you didn't bring a useful contract to the family business to open up an overseas market. Even if the family business is in the hands of a gentleman like you, how do you take care of him? Could it be that the grandfather and father worked hard to accumulate wealth. Their empire is handed over to a layman like yours who doesn't know anything. After that, Wu Jingquan laughed: "Okay, I won't argue with you, I will still go to your wedding with my mother, and I will solve any difficulties you have." After all, like you said, we have a common father. Even if you're not my own brother, I'll still take care of you. After speaking, Wu Jingquan stood up proudly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, took a few puffs slowly, and looked at it like a small animal. Wu Jing Circle. Wu Jingquan stood up angrily and said, "I don't want your kindness. I would ask my father for a sum of money, set up my own company, and start my own business. From now on, you live your life, and I live mine. Wu Jingquan stood up with laughter and said, "Then I will bless you in advance, and I hope you don't live your life like a waste in the world." After speaking, Wu Jingquan extinguished his cigarette butt, threw Wu Jingquan in the study and went straight out.

Wu Jingquan sat in the study for a while, and after ten minutes came out of the study, he slowly walked down the stairs and returned to the hall. Yang Lisha saw that his face was very wrong, and asked with concern, "Did Wu Jingquan say something bad to you again?" Wu Jingquan shook his head, then sighed and said, "It's not entirely Wu Jingquan's fault. Maybe it's because I'm not very competitive and always let others look down on me. The two of them, speaking in a low voice, did not attract everyone's attention. This time the restaurant. Many of the set-ups have been set up, and a table of sumptuous dishes is presented to everyone. Wu Guohao was seated first, then other family members, and finally Yu Zhufeng also took the seat. Wu Guohao stood up and said: "This year, the performance of our group company has increased. Thank God for bringing us such abundant food and such a good life, performance is all the resources of our family, only if we are more refined in business, can we bring better well-being to our family members. I would also like to thank my son Wu Jingquan for this. Wu Jingquan listened to his father's words, stood up proudly, and said: "This is because my father has managed and managed well in the group company. I was just my father's hand and did what I was supposed to do. Like my father said, hopefully everything will be better next year so that we can have better well-being. With that, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down. Wang Yijun's clapping palm below, followed by Wu Guoxiang. There was little applause at the bottom. Wu Jingquan didn't care either, and sat down contentedly.

Wu Guohao said that the second happiest thing is that my second son Wu Jingquan is getting married. The girl is Wei Yanmei, a teacher at the National University of Defense Technology. I have a lot of hope for this marriage. I hope Wei Yanmei can help my son well. A good husband and children, let Wu Jingquan exert his own energy and create a place in the family business. After all. He had already fought once for his country and had lost his arm. We toast to the warriors returning from the battlefield. Wu Guohao stood up and raised his wine glass. The rest of the people raised their glasses and drank it down. Then the crowd began to take their seats. Eat the food on the table casually. The conversation was not enthusiastic. Just when he was two or three minutes full, Wu Jingquan stood up and said, "Father, I discussed with my aunt and wanted to get from the group company. Strive for one funding. That is to say, I hope you can give me a large sum of money, and then I will start my own business, open a company, and support myself. When Wang Junyi heard this, he was unhappy and said: "How can you ask your father for money when you come back, and you have the ability to earn it yourself." Is the family's money blown by the wind? Wu Jingquan ignored Wang Junyi and continued: "I hope my father can support me. Wu Guohao pondered for a while with a wine glass and said, "I can give you the money, that's a lot of money." can give you 600 million credit points. But if you don't run well, lose money, and use up the money, then you won't be able to get the inheritance. If you make a billion, I'll reward you with a billion. Wu Jingquan looked at Wu Guohao and said, "Then why can my brother inherit your wealth?" No need for any. Penalty provisions. Wu Guohao stood up and said: "I handed over the department to Wu Jingquan to manage, but if he does not manage it well, it will cause the company to lose money." Let's just say that I will also deprive him of the right to inherit property. Hearing these words, Wu Jingquan couldn't sit still. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of his father, they all need to become tools to make money.
