Forced into the Deep - v2 Chapter 4
Xing Zhongwan buried Uncle Zhong’s ashes under the peach tree in the yard.
Xing Zhongwan still couldn’t see the old man for the last time. When he arrived, Uncle Zhong had already passed away. Xing Zhong held the funeral of the old man quietly in good night. This old house in Jiangnan lost its last guardian.
Xing Zhongwan planned to donate the house. When inventorying the old objects, Xing Zhongwan found that there was a yard that had been repaired and was still very new.
“Sir, this yard was struck by lightning last year, and more than half of it was burned. Later, I contacted experts from the Cultural Relics Protection Association to come and restore it.”
It was the servant of the old house who answered. Xing Zhongwan thoughtfully walked around the yard, “Do you know who contacted him?”
“I don’t know this, but I heard Uncle Zhong mention it by accident. It seems that his surname is Qi. But that gentleman comes to stay for a while every year around the beginning of summer.”
Xing Zhongwan didn’t respond, “I know you should go. I don’t plan to stay in this house. You have worked here for so many years, and you have worked hard. I will make good arrangements for your future life.”
The old servant bowed to Xing Zhongwan and stepped back.
Xing Zhongwan went around his yard and entered the back room. It was still a familiar decoration. A familiar smell. He approached the bed and reached out to touch it. The familiar doll was still there.
Xing Zhongwan smiled and held it in his hand, which his mother made for him. Xing Zhong nodded lately on the doll’s forehead, “Come with me too.”
Just as he was about to get up, he found that a small note had fallen out of the small pocket of the doll’s skirt, and Xing Zhongwan picked it up.
Life is like a March flower, I will spend my whole life thinking about it.
The vigorous and publicized strokes, Xing Zhongwan had seen in that absurd farce. At that time, those pale and thin hands solemnly signed their name on the marriage application form.
Why bother? Xing Zhongwan smiled and shredded the note in his hand. It was raining heavily outside. Xing Zhongwan opened the window, and when he reached out, the fragments fell on the bluestone slab like snowflakes, which were washed away by a strong wind and rain.
Xing Zhongwan closed the window and the phone rang.
“Lao Xing, there is a reception the day after tomorrow. I don’t have time to attend so I have to go back quickly. Will you go for me?”
Xing Zhongwan refused without thinking, “I just invest in Qingyuan, and don’t care about anything else. And I’m going to Xing’s house tomorrow.”
Xue Qing was annoyed, “I ask you, Qingyuan is your property, right? You’ve been a shopkeeper for so many years, what are we talking about, if you want to see lions, go to see lions, and if you feed pigeons, go to feed the pigeons. It’s been half a year, what are we talking about, I’ve been so bitter that I haven’t married yet. I’m so miserable, what did I do in my last life to know you, this unconscionable person.”
Xing Zhongwan felt a chill on his back, “Oh, I’m going, can’t I go. Auntie, please don’t fake crying. When you cry, I feel like the souls of centuries in this old house will come out.”
Xue Qing snorted, expressing disdain, “Don’t worry, Zhong Gang and Emma are both here. Taking advantage of this opportunity is a good time to win over people, just show your face.”
Xing Zhongwan yawned, “Show your face, the official person in charge of Qingyuan is not me.”
Xue Qing’s voice became obscene in seconds, “Hey, there is nothing that you can’t solve with your face. For our development, it is also the ardent hope of all Qingyuan employees. Big boss, go and sell your face!”
Xing Zhongwan’s mouth twitched, and he hung up the phone angrily.
After Qi Yun had a meeting, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, “There is a reception tonight, do you need to attend?”
Qi Yun indifferently flipped through the documents in his hand, neither agreeing nor refusing.
The secretary has always been very afraid of Qi Yun. He climbed to the current position in his early thirties, and the same level as him is an old man in his fifties and sixties.
Qi Yun has come to this point, not to mention his family background, his back is chilled when the secretary thinks of his tactics. A man who can throw his own mother in a nursing home and leave him alone, and who did not attend the funeral when his younger brother died. Although it is because of his status, few people dare to mention this in front of him, but private discussions have never been less.
The disabled and blind abandoned son, Qi Yun has too many labels on his body. It is a miracle that he can stand up. After his recovery, there was a big change in the Qi family. Everyone in Mingli said that he was righteous and killed his relatives. . Qi Zongcheng is now paralyzed at home and semi-retired. Qi Yun is already a veritable ruler of the Qi family.
“I’m afraid Young Master Shen can’t hold back today’s scene, so please be sure to attend if you come over there.”
Qi Yun paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, “Prepare clothes.”
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief, and went out to call the Shen family. Hearing that Qi Yun agreed, the Shen family was relieved. Although Qi Yun took over the Shen family, Qi Yun was very concerned about the business of the Shen family. Less control. A professional manager was hired. Fortunately, the Shen family has a sound management system. A group of high-level executives are all Shen Qinghong’s confidants. Although they have some criticisms about Qi Yun, they are always from the blood of the Shen family. As the power gradually increased, a group of old guys were more refined than foxes, so naturally they hugged Qi Yun’s thigh tightly.
Xing Zhongwan went back to the Xing family, not to the cemetery but to the ancestral hall. There are too many eyeliners in the cemetery. The Xing family ancestral hall is different, and not everyone can enter.
Xing Zhong lighted the incense late and respectfully kowtowed to his mother and grandfather. When Xing Zhong went out late, he happened to meet Xing Zhengping who came in a hurry.
Xing Zhongwan said hello to him, “No one stopped me at the door when I came. You ordered it, thank you.”
Xing Zhengping frowned, “Qi Yun has come to you many times.”
Xing Zhongwan nodded indifferently, “According to the current situation, you did not tell him my whereabouts.”
Xing Zhengping looked at him and hesitated, “Since I’m here, I’ll leave after dinner.”
Xing Zhongwan looked at his watch, “Forget it, I have a shadow on that house. There is a project in Qingyuan recently. If you have time, you can vote.”
Xing Zhengping said with a sullen face, “The money you remit every year is enough for the company’s profit for three years.”
Xing Zhongwan laughed, “I still think there is too much money, keep it. In the future, Xing Zhongjie will be more confident when she gets married. If you don’t back up her thick dowry for her temper, no one dares to marry her.”
Xing Zhengping looked at Xing Zhongwan’s condescending appearance, and his heart that wanted to speak well suddenly became hot, “You can’t speak well.”
“I didn’t ask you to tell me that it was you who started it.”
Xing Zhengping was speechless, Xing Zhongwan was about to go out and was stopped by Xing Zhengping, “Your mother’s 50th birthday, remember to come back.”
Xing Zhongwan’s feet were about to step out, and he went straight out of the ancestral hall without answering.
Shen Congxin straightened his bow tie uneasy. He couldn’t talk to the person in charge of Qingyuan in the morning forum, or to be precise, he didn’t even see him face to face. He was a little anxious. Thinking of the evening reception, no matter how cheeky I am, I will go up to ask for a business card.
Big cousin, if only you were here, I would be able to borrow your name and pretend to be a tiger.
“Vice President, pay attention to your manners.”
Shen Congxin stood up straight, his body was bleeding, and the baby was bitter, but no one could tell.
Before getting out of the car, Xing Zhongwan brushed his hair and found a pair of gold-rimmed glasses to wear. Emma’s eyes on one side were almost straight. After looking at this face for so many years, it still made people’s heart beat faster.
The two got out of the car, someone walked over quickly and stopped in front of Xing Zhongwan, and called the boss very politely.
Xing Zhongwan looked at the handsome man standing in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, “Zhong Gang, long time no see, are your abdominal muscles still there?”
Zhong Gang was about to lift his shirt immediately, but was stopped by Xing Zhongwan, “You are still not joking. You are so self-disciplined, you are not like the people in the head office at all.”
Emma quickly looked aside, expressing that she did not know.
“In the future, Emma will follow you and teach her more. I’m optimistic about you.”
Xing Zhongwan smiled, and Zhong Gang’s resolute manly face had a rare tenderness, “I hope the boss can fulfill his promise and transfer me back to the head office when the branch is successfully established.”
Xing Zhongwan patted him on the shoulder, “Looking at your performance, I will give you two years. As long as you can make this company into the top ten in the industry, I will transfer you back. Emma’s work ability is very strong and can share a lot for you. “
Zhong Gang followed Xing Zhong to the elevator knowingly, “Why did the boss come here in person this time?”
Xing Zhongwan grumbled, “I was forced by Xue Qing to show her face, I still don’t know her thoughts, you are the official person in charge of Qingyuan, and the big boss behind the scenes has always been a fan, this woman must have gone out and said she was a big boss. The boss will come today, and there must be a lot of people looking for you to build relationships. This is to create contacts for your new company. Your contacts need her to worry about, hey! She wants to join you for a day or two, you can figure it out. “
Although Emma really doesn’t want to listen to the leaders’ gossip, but… it doesn’t count as her own ears.
Zhong Gang gave Xing Zhongwan a serious look, “Boss, you should be very clear about my intentions.”
Xing Zhongwan also had a serious face, “Don’t think that Cheng Zhengzhe is a straight man of steel, he won’t bend the steel if it is bent.”
Emma unconsciously stepped back in the small space, knowing too much that she will die quickly!
Zhong Gang’s face sank but quickly returned to normal, “Is the boss going to come forward later?”
Xing Zhongwan touched the cufflinks with disgust on his face, “How is it possible, I will find a corner to stay later, you can come to me when you are done. Xue Qing has been accusing her for a long time, and I have squeezed her for so many years and have not given it to me. She has a good holiday, she knows that I don’t like this kind of occasion deliberately. Zhong Gang, please accept her soon, so that my life can be better. “
Zhong Gang frowned, “Boss, I’m naturally curvy.”
Zhong Gang and Emma went to socialize. Xing Zhongwan picked a quiet corner and started playing with his mobile phone in obscurity.
“I’ve tried my best, you can replace it.”
“It’s fun to make the impossible possible.”
“How can people be with you? If you do something to toss me away from such a good employee, I will tear you apart!”
“Don’t worry, Zhong Gang won’t be willing to leave after a day or two when he misses the sissy.”
“I heard something unusual, you gave me a real trick…”
“Wow, the **** bribed me to take Zhong Gang away. I took his money, and I have to get things done.”
“Laocheng’s head was eaten by a dog. Let you seduce gays. Your world father doesn’t understand. Let’s stop talking.”
“Hey, wait, Qi Yun won’t come on such an important occasion today, anyway, the Shen family is under his name, you can hide it and don’t let him find out.”
Xing Zhongwan poked at the phone screen viciously, “How is it possible…”
Before finishing typing, there was a commotion at the door, Xing Zhongwan raised his head, and a group of people came in from the door. Seeing a man in a black suit standing in the middle, you can feel his aura from such a distance.
Xing Zhongwan took back the phone and scolded, Xue Qing, you crow mouth!
