Two days later.
Light type film.
Lin Yue glanced at Xiao Dagang who was kneeling on the ground in mourning clothes, shook hands with Xiao Guoqing's father, and walked out of the yard.
Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang stood at the entrance of the alley diagonally opposite and waved after seeing him.
Lin Yue walked up to the two of them, took the cigarette from Tang Xiangyang and took a puff in his mouth.
"How come you also learned to smoke?"
"It's annoying."
"What's bothering you?"
"My wife is in menopause, my son is going abroad, it's all a mess."
Lin Yue and Lu Chuan looked at each other and smiled. To put it bluntly, Tang Xiangyang had the most stable life and work among these people. Unexpectedly, he was sometimes forced by trivial family matters to smoke to relieve his worries.
"By the way, what's going on with National Day?"
Tang Xiangyang was not surprised that he would ask this. Ever since Li Suhua was in poor health and the Zhou family moved away from Northeast China to Australia, he had rarely come back here. At most, he stayed briefly due to business matters and had no time to go back and visit. Friends or something, and since Wu Qian entered, Xiao Guoqing always walked around when he saw him.
"What's going on? It's because of Wu Qian."
"Wu Qian?"
"Yes, Wu Qian got a commutation of her sentence and was released a year early. She returned to the optical film two days ago and didn't know what she said to Xiao Guoqing. They had a quarrel. You also know the state of Guoqing. In the past few years, He is addicted to alcohol and his physical condition is very bad. He was admitted to the hospital last year because of heart and liver problems, and now he is stimulated by Wu Qian..." At this point, Tang Xiangyang shook his head: "Because of this incident, Dagang and Wu Qian The relationship between mother and son was severed.”
"So that's what happened."
Lin Yue felt a little bit sad. Although he had traveled through so many worlds, witnessed the impermanence of the world, the rotation of time, and saw many things more lightly than ordinary people, the encounters between Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao still left him with a different feeling. As the old saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In today's era, men are not only afraid of getting into the wrong profession, but they are also afraid of marrying a wife who is a monster.
"It may not be possible to catch up for a while."
"Can't come back? Where did Qianchao go?"
When he mentioned Qianchao's name, Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan reacted. Logically speaking, the Sun family and the Xiao family both lived in Guangzipian. Now that there are no people on National Day, Qianchao should come here earlier. Even if he is old, Since I can't do any more work, it would be good to sit here and chat with Dagang and the old man of the Xiao family. However, the two of them have been waiting here for Zhou Bingkun for almost an hour, and there is no sign of catching up.
"Catch up and go to the United States to find his son."
Lin Yue told Sun Sheng's situation and what happened after the two went there. Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang didn't know what to say. Xiao Guoqing was a bad person. His son was good, but Sun was catching up. His wife She seems to be a little stronger than Wu Qian, but she is a rotten type. Not only did she cheat her husband, but she also ruined her son.
How do you say this...?
Tang Xiangyang took a puff of cigarette and said, "Do you know what I'm most fortunate about now?"
Lu Chuan said: "What?"
"What I'm most fortunate about is that I didn't let Wang Ning get involved in the affairs of our six gentlemen."
Wang Ning is Tang Xiangyang's wife. Lu Chuan has met her twice and Lin Yue has met her once. I heard that her father is a small leader of a state-owned enterprise and he has been pampered since childhood.
"Six gentlemen? What kind of six gentlemen..."
Lu Chuan sneered at this title: "Speaking of Bingkun, he has actually done some good things. Unlike the rest of us, things at home are just a mess. How can we have the time and energy to be a gentleman?"
Lin Yue said: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"
Lu Chuan said: "You are twenty years younger. I am scolding you because I am jealous of you. Now..."
Tang Xiangyang nodded, deeply agreeing with his words.
"By the way, about Dagang..." Lin Yue changed the subject: "Xiang Yang, you are now a consultant at Jichun Chemical Plant. Remember to pay more attention to him, this kid is good."
Tang Xiangyang said: "Why leave this matter to me? You are the vice president of Shencheng Group. As long as you say a word, who among the people below would dare not to take care of him?"
"First, I won't spend much time in Jichun in the future. Unlike you, I will retire in a year or two. Then I will concentrate on being a consultant for the chemical plant, and I can give him more technical guidance. Second, if Asking me to say hello to the people below is not good for Dagang's growth."
After listening to his explanation, Tang Xiangyang remembered what happened to Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qunchao and understood.
"Okay, leave this to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chuan touched Tang Xiangyang's arm and pointed to Xiao Guoqing's yard: "That's...Cao Debao, right?"
When Lin Yue heard this, he looked over and saw a man wearing a mask and a baseball cap coming out of the yard and hurried outside.
"Yes, that's him."
Just as Lu Chuan was about to wave and call someone, Tang Xiangyang stopped him.
"What are you doing?"
In total, he and Cao Debao hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years. Now that they met at Xiao Guoqing's funeral, it was natural to want to reminisce about the past.
Tang Xiangyang said: "If you want to see him get beaten, then call his name."
"What's the meaning?"
When Lu Chuan finished the case and left, he naturally didn't know about the beatings of Qiao Chunyan, Cao Debao and others by the residents of Guangzipian.
Tang Xiangyang had no choice but to patiently recount what happened after he left.
"well."
What can Lu Chuan say? Nothing can be said.
We used to share pork together, fight together, drink together, and watch Mrs. Qu's photo-op film Six Gentlemen together. Now we are in the south, in the north, in the north, dead and scattered. All we can say is that life is impermanent and fate plays its tricks on people.
At this time, Lin Yue said something again, which made him feel even more complicated.
"Uncle Ma is gone. He didn't let me tell you what happened last month because he thought it was too much trouble."
Ma Shouchang also passed away?
Tang Xiangyang took out another cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Let's go." Lin Yue greeted the two of them: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's find a place to have a drink."
…
Five months later.
The spring in South China is short, and the autumn in Northeast China is not long. It has only entered October and there is already a bit of winter chill.
Lin Yue was sitting in the conference room of the logistics park office building, with Feng Yue, Xiao Lei and Zhou Cong standing behind him.
"Did you find her?"
Feng Yue shook her head: "People at the school said she resigned last year, and people in the community also said they didn't see her since the Spring Festival last year."
"Do you want me to send someone to find you?"
"It's not necessary. So what if she finds it. She can live whatever life she likes. No one can change her anyway."
"All right."
Lin Yue knew very well that at Zhou Rong's age, her temper would have changed a long time ago. It was different from the TV series. Even Cai Xiaoguang couldn't do anything to her now, let alone him.
"I asked you to come to the Northeast this time for two reasons. First, I'm 60 years old... I'm going to put aside my business matters and take Zheng Juan around to see her. It's not an easy life for her. , since I entered the Zhou family, I have been either taking care of the elderly or taking care of the children, and I have only had a few years of leisure. As for me, I have been running around here and there, and I also lack time to accompany her. It is time to change the focus of my life. .”
The three of them didn't say anything, they just stood behind obediently.
"For the second time, I think it's almost time. Yueyue has worked in the immigration service company for several years and stayed within the group for a while. She is almost familiar with the business. From now on, I will leave the logistics to you to manage. Well. Leilei is still not interested. After all, the state-owned enterprises are lacking in business philosophy, but it doesn't matter. I will stay with Li Wanquan for the next two years and learn from his flexible thinking. In the next few years, sporting goods will be a hot topic, so good Come on, don’t let me down.”
Feng Yue and Xiao Lei nodded lightly.
At this time, Lin Yue turned his head and looked at his son: "It has been three or four years since you came back from Harvard. Do you still want to go to space?"
"certainly."
Zhou Cong nodded vigorously, this was his dream.
Lin Yue said with a smile: "Don't tell me that dad favors one thing over another, then I will give you this opportunity."
He slightly whetted his son's appetite and said softly: "Last year, SPACEX suffered a severe setback. The Falcon 1 rocket failed to launch three times in a row. I injected US$150 million into it through a Canadian company. At that time, it was just an agreement. We have entered into some commercial cooperation without any additional requirements. Now your temperament has been settled. The old man in the R&D center speaks very well of you. If you are ready, then go to the United States. I think Iron Man should I will give you a position that will satisfy you.”
"Dad, I'm so happy."
Zhou Cong was very excited and ran over to hug Lin Yue.
Feng Yue moved closer to Xiao Lei and whispered: "Do you know who he learned this thigh-hugging trick from? Me! In the past, my uncle would always bring back some rare things that could not be found in China when he went abroad. Every time They always gave me more and gave him less. Later he asked my uncle why he preferred me more. I said that I am better at acting like a baby than you. So this guy became better and better at acting. I really think he should hang out with Cai Xiaoguang. , rather than focusing on any space program."
Xiao Lei deeply agreed with Feng Yue's complaints. This guy was a real person. He was very venomous in front of Feng Yue and him. When facing his biological father, he was well-behaved, diligent and sweet-tongued, but when he came to his biological mother, he became so venomous. When you become lazy and willful, who do you think this fancy face-changing technique is for?
"By the way, Xiao Lei, I have a soy sauce factory worker named Chang Jinjin. He is now working as a handyman in the Northern Group. Please take care of him when you get there. He is the person entrusted to me by Mrs. Qu."
"Good uncle."
At this time, Feng Yue pointed to the security room at the entrance of the logistics park and said, "Is that Uncle Qianchao?"
"Yes, I asked Sun Xiaoning to take him here to see the gate. It happens to be close to the optical letter film. It is very convenient to go home and work. Oh, and the residents of the optical letter film. You look diligent, honest and steady, and are willing to come to the logistics park. Just give them a chance when they go to work. After all, loading and unloading trucks is a lot of work, and it’s not the money you give them, but the money.”
"Uncle, you really can't worry about the neighbors here."
"You're a girl who's too thoughtful in her movies. You're thirty-five years old and you're still so poor."
"Even if all the old teeth have fallen out, Yueyue is still a child in front of my uncle." She hugged Lin Yue's neck and acted coquettishly. When she was done, she winked at Xiao Lei, which seemed to mean that she and Zhou Cong had been competing for favor since childhood. No matter how much that brother acts again, he won't be as painful as a little cotton-padded jacket like her.
"By the way, didn't Uncle Qianchao go to the United States to look for Sun Sheng? Have you found him?"
At this time, she remembered what her aunt said occasionally, and she was a little curious as to why her uncle brought Sun Qunchao to the logistics park to guard the gate.
Lin Yue said: "If Sun Sheng didn't come back, he would die there even if he wanted to die. I was disheartened by catching up, so I went back to China with Sun Xiaoning."
"This guy is too fond of foreign things."
"This has nothing to do with worshiping foreigners. Everyone gets into trouble sometimes. Sun Sheng is escaping from reality."
Hearing this, Feng Yue nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, I've also confessed what I need to explain. When you encounter problems, ask the senior business people for advice. If you are really undecided, you can call me if you can't pass it. The plane should have landed, and it's time for me to leave."
Lin Yue got up from the sofa, picked up his coat and walked outside.
…
Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.
Six years passed in a flash.
The time has come to 2015.
Shencheng Group has become a well-deserved leading enterprise in the Fortune Global 500. In addition to traditional industries such as real estate, hotels and catering, outdoor products, sports equipment, daily seasonings, metallurgy, energy, automobiles, logistics, and import and export trade, The business has further developed into emerging and popular industries such as aerospace, optical equipment, materials engineering, photovoltaics, new energy vehicles, and electronic chips, becoming a cross-field business cluster.
Li Suhua passed away this summer at the age of 90. People in Jichun joked that on the day of the funeral, the old lady went to a small circle of celebrities in the industrial and commercial circles. Thinking about it, there is nothing that can be done, because no matter what business she does, there are many contacts. Shencheng Group will become an unavoidable threshold.
The three words Zhou Bingkun have become a legend in the business world and a focal figure in Chinese circles at home and abroad. The Shencheng Group he controls provides more than two million jobs at home and abroad, and indirectly affects the upstream and downstream of the supply chain. Businesses are the livelihoods of tens of millions of people.
Feng Yue is 40 years old this year. During his six years in Jichun, he has achieved dazzling results, and, well, there are also various titles that sound lofty.
In autumn, the leaves turn from green to yellow, leaving the branches blown by the wind and falling on the newly paved asphalt road.
At this moment, the car was taking her and Xiao Lei out of the industrial logistics park and towards the airport far away in the suburbs.
Just yesterday, her brother-in-law sent her a text message with an address.
A day later, the taxi stopped at a suburban parking lot in a small county town in Guizhou. The two got out of the car, checked their direction, and walked towards the round arch opposite the parking lot.
Xiao Lei looked at the content on the phone screen and then at the plaque above the round arch.
"Qingyun'an, yes, it's here."
The two walked into the arch and were greeted by a small tower, only three stories high, but judging from its appearance and construction materials, it must be several hundred years old.
After walking two steps further, a nun wearing a monk's hat stepped forward, clasped her hands and said, "The two donors are here to offer incense and worship Buddha, or to pray for blessings and fulfill their vows?"
Feng Yue said: "No, I'm here to find someone."
"Who does the donor want to find?"
"Juesheng."
The nun looked at her deeply: "Please wait here."
After saying this, he left.
Less than five minutes later, a woman wearing monk's robes and cloth shoes came from the side courtyard on the right. Xiao Lei patted his wife on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Feng Yue had made some guesses on the way here, and now that her guesses had been confirmed, even though she was prepared, her emotions were still a bit complicated.
"Why did you think of becoming a monk?"
She had been looking for Zhou Rong a lot in the past few years in the Northeast, not because she wanted to restore the relationship between mother and daughter and to be filial, but because Li Suhua had said "Rong'er" several times in her later years, and her uncle Zhou Bingyi asked her to look for her carefully. , just to fulfill the old lady’s wish.
It has been six years, and there is no clue. I never thought that she came to Guizhou and became a nun.
If it were in the past, Zhou Rong would definitely ask, "Aren't you still unwilling to call me mom until now?" It was different now. There was no trace of excitement on her face, and she said coldly: "This is all thanks to your father."
"Feng Huacheng?"
Just like her attitude towards Zhou Rong, she would not call Feng Huacheng dad.
"You don't know yet."
"Do not know what is this?"
"He has become a monk. Now he is in Gaoxuan Temple near Jinba Village, and his name is shining everywhere. You haven't seen him yet, have you?"
After listening to Zhou Rong's words, Feng Yue was dumbfounded.
My biological mother is a monk, and my biological father is also a monk. These two people are really...
She no longer knew how to describe her mood at this moment.
"Didn't he go to France with Wang Zi?"
Zhou Rong did not answer the question directly: "I am still married to Cai Xiaoguang, and now I have come here to become a monk and become a nun? In fact, it is quite good. Being pure in heart and having few desires, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha helps a person face his heart. Know yourself.”
Feng Yue sighed heavily: "Grandma is gone, just this year."
"I know."
"you know?"
"Yes, Cai Xiaoguang came here a few days ago when he was filming "Children of Our Generation" in Jinba Village and told me the news of your grandma's death."
"and you……"
"Once you enter Buddhism, your six roots will naturally be purified and you will be able to put an end to the worldly affairs."
Feng Yue still wanted to speak, but then a bell sounded from behind. Zhou Rong shook her head: "It's time for lunch, you can go."
After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back at her.
Feng Yue left Qingyun Nunnery with mixed emotions, and Xiao Lei, who was reading the inscription beside him, walked up to her.
"How was the conversation?"
She recounted the conversation between the two just now, selecting the most important ones.
Xiao Lei said: "Then do you want to go to Gaoxuan Temple to see your dad?"
Feng Yue shook his head: "No, let's go home."
ps: Happy May Day!
