charming and harmful

On weekends, people's consciousness is a little dull.

Qing Ye slept until the sun was high, and then lazily got up from the bed.After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I went downstairs to warm milk and bake toast by myself.After a simple breakfast, Qing Ye returned to the room, and like a routine, he took out a Chinese book and recited: "There is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; when it turns into a bird, Its name is Peng. The back of Peng does not know how many thousands of miles away it is; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming. The one in Nanming is also Tianchi... ..”

Qingye walked to the balcony while reciting Chinese books between his hands. Unexpectedly, the wind was quite violent today. As soon as Qingye opened the balcony door, he was blown tremblingly. He rushed back and put on a big padded jacket. The scissors come out.The elm trees on the balcony are too loose and need to be pruned again.There is also Dad's beloved blueberry plant, which grows vigorously and desperately in winter.Qingye picked up the watering can and sprinkled it with water, and then sprinkled some on the surrounding ball orchids and the small Cangjiao Hall.The laurel exudes a tantalizing fragrance, and Qingye couldn't help sniffing it closer, and was immediately addicted to it. After a while, he suddenly remembered that he had something to do, so he hurriedly picked up the empty basket, kicked the thick house slippers, Get clothes from the washing machine in the bathroom.

He and his father only wash clothes every few days, and the jackets, pants, and socks are all together, and they are thrown into the washing machine without any rules.Qing Ye threw the dried clothes into the basket, took them to the balcony to hang them, hung the clothes first, then hung the pants, and hung the socks after hanging the pants.As a result, the frantic wind came again and blew away one of the socks he was about to hang up in his hand. Qingye chased the wind and ran to the edge of the guardrail, watching the sock struggling in the wind like a dying bird It fell slowly and landed on the lush pomegranate tree of the neighbor's house.

After a while, he decided to pretend he didn't see it.

The soup in the pot was boiling, and I tried my best to lift the lid of the pot above my head, making a series of "gurgling" sounds.

"Xiao Zhan, come down to eat." An elegant and gentle female voice sounded in the living room.

"Here we come." Baili Zhan walked down the stairs in casual attire, obediently went to cook, and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

The switch of the induction cooker was turned off, and the boiling soup stopped clamoring.

Five or six dishes were quickly placed on the table, steaming and emitting bursts of aroma.Baili Zhan's mother untied her apron and sat down at the dining table.Baili Zhan's mother has a delicate and glamorous face, wears a decent professional suit, and has a neat short hair, but it doesn't give people an overly strong feeling.She served Baili Zhan a bowl of soup and asked him gently how it tasted.

Baili Zhan nodded, showing a faint smile that was rarely seen on weekdays.

The rich lunch was going on warmly, and the retro clock hanging on the wall of the hall slowly struck twelve times.

"Xiao Zhan, mom has to go to the company this afternoon, so I'll leave dinner to you." Baili Zhan's mother said to Baili Zhan after she finished drinking the soup in the bowl, put down the bowl and spoon.

"Okay," Baili Zhan thought for a while, and then said, "I took sticky gum for a physical examination in the afternoon, yesterday...forgot."

Hearing what he said, Baili Zhan's mother seemed to remember, "Yes, you seemed to come back very late last night. Did you go out to play with friends?" Baili Zhan's mother smiled and looked at him curiously. he.

As soon as he recalled what happened yesterday, Baili Zhan's action of spooning soup stopped, "Well," his eyes dodged a little, "I went out to play."

The smile in Baili Zhan's mother's eyes grew stronger, "That's pretty good, I'll bring it home to play when I have time."

Baili Zhan's eyes dodged even more, and he remained silent without speaking.

Baili Zhan's mother reached out and touched his head affectionately, "You haven't made any new friends here for more than 2 years. I'm worried. Isn't this good? What's the name of the new friend? It'shimorher ?”

"Mom..." Baili Zhan was a little uncomfortable with his mother's sudden gossip.

"Okay, I get it," Baili Zhan's mother stretched out her hand and spread her hands together in a helpless manner, "You all have some little secrets at your age, mother understands." After speaking, she smiled mysteriously at her son.

Baili Zhan laughed helplessly, and suddenly didn't know what to say.Fortunately, his mother was in a hurry, glanced at her watch and got up quickly to get her handbag from the sofa, "I'm going out first, Xiao Zhan, don't forget to stick your teeth today." After finishing speaking, she hurried out.

"Got it, drive carefully." Baili Zhan said to her back.

"Got it, see you tonight." Baili Zhan's mother's voice gradually faded away.

After lunch, Baili Zhan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and began to look for the sticky gum.

Sticky tooth candy is a puppet cat given to him by Baili Zhan's grandmother when he was 10 years old. It has a chubby body and a long fluffy tail.She has a very docile temperament and always clings to others, but now she has disappeared.

"Tooth sticky candy, sticky tooth candy—" Baili Zhan searched for it several times on the first floor, but he didn't find it. Go up to the second floor.

As a result, Gummy Candy ran into his room at some point, and was squatting in front of the French window next to his desk, raising his head and staring intently at the lush bamboo leaves outside.As soon as Baili Zhan yelled "sticky tooth candy", it turned back immediately, raised its tail and ran towards Baili Zhan with a "meow", darting around his feet coquettishly, and using Yuanyuan His glazed eyes looked at him.

Baili Zhan then squatted down, stretched out his hand and scratched its chin gently, Nianya Tang immediately raised his head, squinted his eyes with an intoxicated expression, and let out a soft cry from time to time.

After scratching, Baili Zhan stroked its fluffy body hair again, "Good boy, I'll take you to a medical examination." After speaking, he hugged him.

Sticking Tooth Candy struggled in his arms, and let out two unwilling "meows".

At this time, the phone that was forgotten on the desk suddenly vibrated, and the screen lit up, showing a message: "Zhan, I'll be there the day after tomorrow."

An extended black business car stopped in front of a high-end club. A middle-aged man with a stern face in a black suit walked down first, followed by several elite men in black suits with expressions on his face. Equally serious and dignified, Li Mu was also among the group of people, also wearing a black suit, which made his figure look more elevated, and exuded an unapproachable aura.

A group of people marched towards the club, and several managers at the door stepped forward to greet them and ushered them into the negotiation meeting room.

This club is fairly well-known in Xihong District, but it has gradually lost money after changing its leadership in the past year.Li Mu's father, Li Yan, came here to discuss the acquisition plan on behalf of Shandao Church.

In the huge conference room, only professional negotiating terms sounded from time to time, rendering the atmosphere solemn.

Li Mu sat in the back row of the conference table, without saying a word the whole time, the decent black suit set him off even more mysteriously, coupled with that expressionless face, people couldn't guess his real age.

After the club's negotiations were completed, Li Mu's father took him to Yunyi Casino again.Yunyi Casino is one of the casino properties under Shandaotang. Last night, a celebrity caused a lot of disputes in it, which must be dealt with immediately.

After resolving the dispute, they rushed to the bodyguard head office under Shandaotang for a high-level meeting.It wasn't until 8 o'clock in the evening that the father and son had a little time to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant.

Li Mu stepped forward and poured a glass of sake for his father.

Father took a sip from the wine glass and asked, "What did you learn today?"

Li Mu also took a sip of wine, and then, as usual, he reported to his father what experience he had gained from the incident today, as well as some of his own thoughts.

Father nodded, with a serious and meticulous expression, "If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

Li Mu nodded.

Li Yan looked at his son who was becoming more and more silent and serious, and he was actually quite satisfied in his heart. He continued, "Tomorrow you will go on a business trip with me." Normally, he would give orders directly, but today it is much rarer for him to ask. : "Are you still used to it?"

Li Mu looked up at his father, nodded and said, "I'm used to it." Yes, I have been used to it for a long time. Since he was 16 years old, his father has already let him get in touch with things on the road. Basically, he will be brought by his father on many weekends. He went to listen, learn from experience, and listen to teaching.In fact, it's not just him, the senior partners of Shandao Hall basically bring their sons with them, except for one person.

Kiyono—until now, he was an adult, and his father didn't even bring him to the formal occasions of Yamashima Hall.This question made Li Mu very puzzled. Today, he may really be unable to hide.

"Father, I have a question to ask you." Li Mu got up again to fill his father with wine.

"You said."

"Qing Ye," Li Mu paused, "Why hasn't Uncle Gu trained him so far?" He looked straight at his father, as if he couldn't wait for the answer.

However, his father didn't answer right away. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. After putting down the glass, he stared at the pattern on the glass and thought about it. After a while, he said calmly: "Qingye, he is different."

This answer surprised Li Mu, and he rarely heard such emotional words from his father, so he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Father still didn't answer immediately, but looked up at Li Mu, his eyes were complicated for a while, and in the end, he only said one sentence:

"His father wants him to choose for himself."
