Liang Ying took another sip of the wine that had just been poured into the cup, and said slowly: A long, long time ago, there was a family in Gusu. This family has a skill that has been passed down for thousands of years - the Suzaku Fan and the Suzaku Fan Dance. It is said that this kind of fan, with red sandalwood as the bone, with slender bamboo silk as the surface, a variety of rare materials through special techniques pasted on the fan surface, and then painted with special pigments on the fan surface into the image of the red bird, the other side according to different needs to draw a variety of fans or inscriptions. Due to the rarity of materials and the complexity of the process, a technician can only make five fans a year, which is particularly precious. What's even more amazing is that this kind of fan is also equipped with an exclusive dance, the dancer holds the fan and waves, when it is slow, it is like a streamer flying, when it is light, it is like a red bird taking off the fan and flying around the dancer, and when it is fast, it is like a red bird turning into flames and roaring for nine days. There is an unwritten rule in this family, the fan-making skills are only passed on to the men in the family, and the beautiful women in the family learn the fan dance, and according to legend, the Suzaku fan and the fan dance were also presented to the palace as tribute during the Southern Song Dynasty. There are poems and clouds in the time: the dance is scattered with the wind, the song is like a chime rhyme, the streamer flies back to the fan, and the finch fire volleys into the clouds.

After generations of inheritance, in 1937, Gusu was invaded by the Japanese army. At that time, the patriarch Liang Ye moved to Hong Kong Island with the lineage of the family, but the war was chaotic, no one appreciated the skills of the Vermilion Bird Fan, and many materials could not be found, so the production of the fan and the inheritance of skills were temporarily extinguished.

After the recovery of Hong Kong Island, Liang Ye originally wanted to pass on his skills to his son, but with the rapid economic development of Hong Kong Island, Liang Ye's son was influenced by that era, and he was not interested in the inheritance of traditional skills, and was committed to making money in business. As the business got bigger and bigger, Liang Ye and his son became more and more distant, but the Liang family made a name for itself on Hong Kong Island and was known as one of the "four families".

"The four major families, the Liang family on Hong Kong Island, could it be that Liang Ye's son is Liang Minqi, the financial king of Hong Kong Island?" Hearing this, Xiao Zhen asked with some surprise.

Liang Ying nodded

"You are also surnamed Liang, and you are also from the Liang family on Hong Kong Island?" Bai Shuo suddenly came to his senses.

Liang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I'd rather have nothing to do with this family." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. Everyone also quieted down, waiting for Liang Ying's story below.

Liang Ying went on to say: Liang Minqi gave birth to two sons, one named Liang Chiwen and the other Liang Chiwu. As his grandson grew up, Liang Ye gradually put the focus of his training on his grandchildren, fortunately, Liang Ye slowly discovered that his eldest grandson Liang Chiwen was very talented in fan-making skills, and before he was 20 years old, he had basically mastered the skills of fan-making. Not only that, Liang Chiwen also relied on the ancestral map to improve the fan dance, making this dance by a man also has a unique flavor. I still remember him dancing with his fan.

But unfortunately, when Liang Chiwen was 22 years old, 70-year-old Liang Ye died of a serious illness. Without the support of his grandfather, Liang Minqi began to force him to give up making fans and learn to run the family business. Liang Chiwen was dedicated to inheriting the family skills and was not interested in business, but he did not dare to disobey his father's wishes and began to work in the family company. In his spare time, Liang Chiwen secretly continued to study the skills of fan-making without telling his father, but he was discovered many times and reprimanded. On the one hand, the pressure of work, on the one hand, the strictness of his father, and on the other hand, the reluctance to give up the fan-making skills, the long-term repressive life overwhelmed Liang Chiwen, and gradually became depressed, and he was more and more unable to get his father's appreciation. Only occasionally quietly fiddling with the Suzaku fan in front of his wife and son and dancing can he experience a trace of happiness.

Later, as Liang Chiwen's younger brother Liang Chiwu also entered the family business to work, the pressure on Liang Chiwen became heavier. The younger brother Liang Chiwu is a scheming person who covets the family business, because his father Liang Minqi has a more traditional thinking, and always thinks that only the eldest son and grandson can become the helmsman of the family, so Liang Chiwu has never been valued by his father. After entering the family business, Liang Chiwu deliberately framed his brother Liang Chiwen and showed himself in front of his father, which made his father more and more disgusted with Liang Chiwen. Finally, when Liang Chiwen was 29 years old, there was a major mistake in a business project, and Liang Chiwu revealed behind his back that his brother was still making fans behind his father's back, which made Liang Minqi completely disappointed in Liang Chiwen, and in anger, Liang Minqi found the place where Liang Chiwen made fans, and burned everything clean with a fire. Since then, Liang has become more depressed and even suffered from depression. Liang Minqi expelled Liang Chiwen, who was suffering from depression, from the company, put him under house arrest in a room, and did not even allow him to see his son. More than a year later, Liang Chiwen, who was only 31 years old, finally became depressed and left his 7-year-old son to die.

"It's really pitiful, what happened to his son later?" Hearing this, Chen Bing was very emotional, and the rest of the people also felt sorry for this child.

"This kid, we should all know each other, right?" Bai Shuo suddenly stared at Liang Ying and said heavily.

Liang Ying and Bai Shuo looked at each other for a while, and said lightly: "Yes, I am that child, and Liang Chiwen is my father." ”

At this time, everyone was stunned, and Cao An exclaimed: "Damn, Brother Ying, aren't you the eldest grandson of Liang Minqi, the eldest young master of the Liang family on Hong Kong Island?"

Everyone thinks of the eldest young master of the Liang family, one of the four major families on Hong Kong Island, who has been with him for so long as an ordinary person, and has been the son-in-law of the Bai Wanhao family before, it is really unimaginable, and the following story is even more exciting.

Liang Ying sighed and said, "Now that everyone knows, then I'll tell my own story." ”

After everyone quieted down again, Liang Ying began to tell again: When my father died, I was only 7 years old, and I have forgotten many things about him, and there are only two things that impress me the most. Once when I was very young, on my mother's birthday, in the evening in our own room, my father secretly took out a red bird fan, and waved it for my mother, and the fan was made very colorful by my father's dance, one moment like a cold flame blown by the wind, and another time like a firefinch flying, and when the dance was put away, it was like a blue light condensing. Although I was still young, I was deeply impressed by the scene at that time. My father saw that I watched the whole dance intently, and praised me with satisfaction that I also have the talent to inherit the skills of fan making in the future.

The second thing happened was when I was 7 years old, I saw my mother crying secretly, and I vaguely heard that my father was seriously ill. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at home, he secretly ran to a small house in the woods behind the house. It was less than 200 meters away from our villa, but it was secluded and desolate as it had to climb over a fence and through a small forest. When I got there, I saw a lonely broken brick house, which I heard was a former power distribution room. The door of the house was locked with a large iron lock, and weeds grew on some of the walls, the only thing that could be seen inside was a window covered with iron fibers. At that time, I was not tall enough, and I finally managed to come to a few large rocks, and I could barely see the scene inside on my feet. It was a scene I will never forget, and then the light through the window saw an unkempt man, sitting sluggishly on a dirty bed, it was my father. Sensing my prying eyes, he jerked his head up and looked at me with a blank look. After a while, he seemed to recognize me, his eyes obviously changed, and he became a little blurred and desolate, but the whole person was still motionless, and his emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest. I looked at my father like that for a long time, until the stone under my feet collapsed and I fell to the ground. I got up, my mind went blank, stood there for a while, then turned and ran towards the house, and as I ran, I always seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, but I didn't dare to look back, and I even felt unusually scared.

Soon after, news of his father's death broke in the family. It is said that on the day of the funeral, my father returned to his original appearance and was cleaned up, although his face and body shape were a little abnormal, and everyone only said that it was the cause of his long-term illness. I didn't dare to look at my father again that day, but I knew that I had lost my father ever since.

Since then, the name Liang Chiwen has become taboo in the family, and the grandfather forbade everyone to talk about anything about his father. For me, my father became a negative teaching material, and was used to teach me to go about my life according to my grandfather's arrangement. Whenever I did something out of the ordinary, my grandfather would first scold my father with hatred, and then teach me not to be like him. At first, I was a little resistant, and I was often punished more severely for this, but later, I learned wisely, and I never talked back to my grandfather again, and everything went according to his heart and obeyed his arrangement. Grandpa is also more and more pleased, and he has tried his best to nurture me in his way.

But this harmony aroused the resentment of my uncle Liang Chiwu, because even if my father died, my grandfather did not mean to make him his successor, so my uncle began to dig out his mind against me. But what he didn't expect was that his daughter, my sister Liang Peiling, had a good relationship with me since she was a child, and every time he targeted me, my sister would always stand up for me and help me go through one level after another.

Once, out of nowhere, he got a half-finished fan that my father hadn't finished before, secretly put it in my house, and then found an excuse to bring my grandfather over. At the critical moment, Pei Ling took the lead, entered my house, and searched around. I watched my sister tossing around without a head, and before I could ask her anything, I saw her pull out the fan from the gap under my desk. My face changed and I immediately realized what was going on. At this time, the second uncle had already brought my grandfather to my room, saying that he was going to check my studies. When she saw Pei Ling pinching something in her hand, her grandfather immediately asked her to hand it over. Seeing the appearance of the fan clearly, he immediately questioned Pei Ling what was going on. Pei Ling resisted everything for me, saying that she used to be greedy and secretly stole out to play in the uncle's house. Grandpa saw that it was an unfinished fan, so he believed Pei Ling's words. But Pei Ling was also severely reprimanded by her grandfather, and the fan was burned again. Later, I heard that Pei Ling was beaten by her second uncle, and she didn't see her for a long time.

Another time, the second uncle deliberately spoke ill of my father in front of me, and scolded me for being a wild seed that no one wanted, deliberately provoking me to be angry, when I rushed up to pester his clothes and wanted to reason with him. Grandpa "just happened" to appear, the second uncle explained that he cared about my studies and asked me not to live up to my grandfather's expectations, but I thought he was troublesome, and I had to add fists and kicks to him, how could I be the opponent of the second uncle if I really wanted to do it, but I couldn't tell the truth, because my father was taboo at home, even if I said that the second uncle insulted my father, I wouldn't get half a benefit from my grandfather. In the end, I was confined and sentenced to go without food for a day. In the end, it was Pei Ling who took the risk and quietly brought me food, so that I didn't feel too uncomfortable.

When I was in school, my second uncle bribed the director and teachers of the school, targeted me everywhere, often refused to let me attend classes under the pretext of excuses, and at the same time secretly instigated some school gangsters, harassed me and bullied me from time to time at school. Fortunately, there was a primary school girl who had always been interesting to me at that time, and after she found out, she often stayed with me during recess. Because her family also has some strength on Hong Kong Island, those gangsters don't dare to make mistakes. In addition, I tried my best to study on my own so that I didn't miss my studies.

Later, the grandfather's health gradually did not get so good, the energy of the steward was not so sufficient, and the family business was gradually controlled by the second uncle. In order to get rid of the persecution of my second uncle and leave that oppressive environment, I did not choose to stay on Hong Kong Island when I was in college. But my second uncle secretly did tricks and blocked my way to study abroad, and I finally chose to go to Nandu University in Gusu Province. The second uncle's strength in the mainland is relatively weak, and Nandu University is not a first-class university, so he saw that he had basically achieved his goal, so he no longer stopped him.

However, the reason why I chose Nandu University was because I wanted to stay away from that family, and secondly, I wanted to trace the roots of the family and fulfill my father's dream. However, in the years of college, I did not find any connection with the family, and the family's former courtyard has long since changed, and modern buildings have been built, and everything is no longer human.

In my second year of college, my second uncle's clutches finally came over. But what was even more cruel this time was that he actually took advantage of me and my classmates drinking in a bar, and the briber quietly drugged me in my wine and stunned me. Then a woman took me to a hotel room, faked the scene as a prostitute, and when I was in a daze, the police broke down the door and arrested me for all the stolen goods. Later, in front of my grandfather, my uncle vividly counted many dirty things I had done in Nandu in the past two years, of course, these things were all forged by him and maliciously framed. On the one hand, he also said bitterly that I was depraved and humiliated the family, and on the other hand, he pretended to be a good person, saying that I was a descendant of the Liang family after all, and for the sake of the family's reputation, he personally came forward to settle the matter and did not cause a greater impact. But since then, I have been expelled from the Liang family, I have never been back, and no one in the family will ask me where I am, and I have heard that I have been nailed the same label as my father at home, and I am a representative of the family's misfortune. My mother had already settled abroad, far away from this sad place.

"Ah, this is simply a modern version of the battle for the throne, the Passion of the Prince!" Cao An sighed indignantly: "Isn't it time to stage the Prince's Revenge next?"

Liang Ying smiled bitterly: Revenge? My uncle hasn't really let me go, he has worked hard in Nandu on the grounds of entering the inland, and has gradually built up a lot of strength, the purpose is to prevent me from developing in Nandu. So after graduating from university, I followed a classmate from Bashu Province to Shudu, wanting to get rid of the influence of my second uncle as much as possible.

That year, I used some experience on Hong Kong Island to invest in a bubble tea shop with my classmates, and the business was very good, and the cost was recovered in less than three months. After that, we plan to expand our business and develop the store into a chain business model. Just when we invested a lot of money and were ready to do a big job, there was a poisoning incident in our bubble tea shop, and two customers claimed to have been hospitalized for food poisoning after drinking the milk tea in our store. Almost at the same time, the food supervision, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments all came to the door, and the store was forced to close temporarily. I'm also constantly under investigation. In order to save the bubble tea shop, I started the truth of the incident myself, and found no problems from the source of the purchase to the production of the bubble tea shop. In the end, through the investigation of the poisoned person, it was found that the place where the two worked was in the same building, and the two knew each other, and the two were poisoned on the same day, but there was no problem with the other products sold in the bubble tea shop, and there was obviously something intriguing in it. In the end, after examination, one of them detected a man-made germ in his body, which can cause mild symptoms of poisoning in humans. The other was poisoned for another reason. Through the police interrogation, one of them finally admitted that he was poisoned by eating other foods by mistake, while the other person's poisoning was caused by the bacteria he deliberately injected into the milk tea using a needle. The reason why he did this was because he once had a dispute with the boss because of queuing when he was buying milk tea, and he wanted to seek revenge. Liang Ying knew that this was just a fabricated statement, because he had already found out that the black hand behind it was the second uncle. Although the second uncle's plan was finally discovered, it had a great impact on the operation of the bubble tea shop, and in the two months before and after, the bubble tea shop had lost its previous popularity, and the investment in preparing to open a new store was also caused by such a fuss, and the losses were heavy. Although I took timely risk control measures, I also lost more than one million.

Later, I aimed at the development of the domestic real estate industry and prepared to start a decoration company. However, when the company was still preparing, the suppliers and partners who had contacted them broke the contract one after another, and the downstream customers who had negotiated also terminated the cooperation, so that the project was directly stillborn.

Later, I started an online e-commerce service with my friends. The second uncle of this industry does not understand very well, although there are many obstacles, but the company continues to grow and develop, and soon the number of registered users reached one million. But slowly, the second uncle also touched some doorways, he did not hesitate to buy a big man in the e-commerce industry, and spent money to invite him to engage in our small company, first targeted competition for users, and then cut off my capital channels through despicable means, at that time, the early stage of online e-commerce all relied on burning money, if you can't continue to inject funds, it will soon become worthless. In desperation, I sold the company to a company called "Qiangdong" through a friend's matchmaking, and reluctantly recouped the investment.

"Qiangdong, is their boss called Qiangzi?" Bai Shuo suddenly asked in surprise.

"Well, it seems, why are you familiar with them? By the way, it seems that you said you were going to invest in them. ”

"Oh, no, I've just heard about this company, researched it, and it seems to have a lot of potential. I believe that there will be great development in the future. Bai Shuo immediately said, "Well, you can go on." ”

"Well, their concept is quite good, and they were also facing transformation at that time, and they were the only ones who had the courage to take the risk of offending the big guys and buy my company. Liang Ying continued.

Since then, I have never dared to do a physical business, so I have also affected many friends, and the classmate I sent out the skewer shop last time was one of them. Since then, I have started to work alone, mainly engaged in some stocks and futures investment business, but in the Hong Kong Island market, the second uncle can always find out which stock I am doing, and then he will not hesitate to suppress me, of course, there are times when he can't hold it down, he spends a lot of money, but I don't make a penny.

"It is really more terrible than the enemy to be able to do such a cause that hurts people. Hearing this, the pillar couldn't help but curse.

"Yes, relatives who are blinded by interests are sometimes more terrible than enemies. Liang Ying sighed and continued: Later, I moved to the mainland A-share market, and with the help of my good friend Kevin, I hid my account and operation information very well, and I also tried to find some lowly jobs as a cover to avoid the pursuit of my second uncle. This is exactly what he wanted, I told me in the Liang family, and the second uncle reported to the old man, saying that I failed to do anything in the mainland, and finally I was reduced to being a waiter. After hearing this, the old man was furious and scolded me for being a waste, and since then, my reputation as a "waste" has also become a nameplate nailed to me under the intentional rendering of the second uncle.
