Xie Han, whether he was struggling in Hong Kong in the early years or fighting in the capital later, he was conceited and unwilling to give in to others.But the one thing that weighs on his heart and can never be avoided is that 19 years ago, he relied on Huo Qiyu's one thought to survive.

Huo Qiyu joined China Zimbabwe after returning to China and was mainly in charge of the foreign trade department.At that time, China Zimbabwe’s business in Hong Kong was quite successful, but it basically had no business in European and American countries and regions.However, when he passed away, overseas profits had already reached 30.00% of the total profits of China and Zimbabwe, and they have maintained rapid growth for more than ten years since then.If he was just a leader of a state-owned enterprise, no matter how good he did, he would not have become the object that the Northern faction had to win over 19 years ago, let alone be deeply missed by people in the capital 19 years later.

Back then, he could only be regarded as Nie Liang's deputy. Even if Nie Liang entrusted him with all the affairs of the capital, he would not be able to get close to Mi Xin even if he was not responsible enough.It wasn't until Nie Liang was forced by Shen Qiao to the United States to manage domestic affairs that he pieced together the whole truth from those clues, and he also understood that Huo Qiyu knew that he was involved in right and wrong, so he was doomed, and he wanted to offend both factions at the time s reason.

The ancestors of the Huo family were the generals at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. They couldn't take care of themselves in those ten years, so they handed over their youngest son to the vice president who was in Jiangxi at that time to raise him. After the vice president took power, he gradually became estranged from the Huo family.

At the age of 16, he was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of Tsinghua University, and after graduation he participated in the negotiations in Hong Kong.At that time, the domestic situation was complicated, Huo Er was young and vigorous, and offended more than one family.After leaving Hong Kong, he was caught wrong and wanted to fix it. Although the vice president tried his best to keep him safe, he was afraid that he would be too aggressive in China, so he transferred him to the United States, and specifically explained that he went to the United States to take up a job, and he was not involved in diplomatic matters. Don't touch it, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Hong Kong.

The people in the consulate knew his background and didn't care about his whereabouts. Huo Er lingered in Chinatown and met George Lockett, who was still unknown at the time.Six years later, he transported arms for Locket and passed through Hong Kong, but joined hands with the Shen family on an outlying island with whom he had an old acquaintance, and transferred the arms to the mainland.

No one knew why he retreated unscathed in front of Locket, and the people in Beijing couldn't hold back the little things that happened back then because of what he did.It's just that the domestic rumors were tight at that time, Huo Er offered to go back a few years later.

Before leaving New York, behind George Lockett's back, he secretly established a very complicated system to protect the Chinese community in New York. If George Lockett wanted to do something, the internal interests of the losses would definitely outweigh the gains.But precisely because of the highly closed nature of this system, once internal disputes or even turmoil occur, no outsider can clean up the mess.No one knew that he was so unscrupulous and George had an extraordinary tolerance for him, but the established facts could not be changed.

Huo Er returned to the country with his fiancée.Shen Yun, even though she has a father recognized as a martyr by the central government, her experience of taking British citizenship and her background in the Hong Kong underworld have kept her and her husband away from the center of power.In addition to the wedding of the century in Hong Kong, Huo Er was safe, so no one would say anything about it, but if there is any change in him, this is a great excuse.

Whether it's because of his shrewdness to protect himself, or his impulsive love, his sense of humor still makes many people breathe a sigh of relief.After all, Huo Ergen's background of Zheng Miaohong, the mountain of the vice president behind him, and his sharp temperament, in the political arena, are the existences that the original interest groups absolutely cannot tolerate.

If it weren't for the changes in a few years, maybe he would really grow old like an ordinary third-generation red man, but who would have imagined what happened later?

Huo Qiyuan had already been waiting for a long time when Shen Qiao came in.Seeing him coming in, he pointed to the table and said, "Sit down."

He and Huo Qiyu's eyebrows and eyes are actually very similar, but Huo Qiyu is more handsome and sharp, while Huo Qiyuan is more blunt.

They have a special relationship, and when they sit down, they don't chat and go straight to the point.

"I should have explained to you after He Xuan's incident broke out a few years ago, but you didn't think much about it, so I think it's a good thing for you not to know the truth." Huo Qiyuan said, "Whether he had it or not at the time Cheating, this is the illusion he wants to create. He has seriously considered divorce, but the reason is not because of feelings."

"Maybe you're married, right?" Shen Qiao didn't respond.

When he was young, he really believed that his sister and brother-in-law were together because of love. Later, when he came to power, he realized that he had never understood Huo Qiyu.Maybe he really loves his sister and Xiao Lin and cherishes this family, but feelings will never be the reason for his marriage.

"At that time your sister was the most suitable wife for him, and for your sister, Qiyu was also the most suitable husband for her. They also had a crush on each other, and it was normal to get married." Huo Qiyuan sighed softly, "You should know, Qiyu After graduating, he wanted to be in politics, but he was arrogant and too smart. Such a person would not be tolerated in the political arena. It was appropriate. He later wanted a divorce because he wanted to return to politics, and this marriage would be a hindrance to him."

"why?"

Shen Qiao's voice was cold and calm, but her heart beat crazily faster: Why did he go back on his word?Could it be that his wife and children are not as good as his own ambitions in his heart?

"At that time, the political environment in Beijing was very complicated. The prestige of those families since the founding of the People's Republic of China had hindered reform and economic development. The central government supported by the vice president had no family support. It was really difficult to ensure the implementation of government orders. Pai and Bei Pai, one is from the local experience, knows the vice president's thoughts, but can't cut the meat that he swallowed, and the other is those families since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After all, incompetence is incompetence, and there is not much meat to swallow .”

"The vice president and the central government support the southern faction, but Qiyu believes that corruption is a cancer of the country and must not be tolerated. People in the northern faction need someone with background and ability like him. At that time, Nie Liang and the northern faction got close. Your sister's relationship to lobby, I just wanted to try, but Qiyu really agreed."

"He decided to return to the political arena. On the one hand, he must solve the marriage problem. On the other hand, he also has to consider what you will do if he is pushed out to block the gun. Qi Yu asked you to deliver the speech you made in Berlin. Right? The central government really wanted to make a big move in the literary and art circles at the time, so he pushed the boat along and sold the central government a favor. That way, even if something happens to him later, you won’t be implicated.”

"But he repented." Shen Qiao relaxed her brows a little.

"Yes. Although what he really did will be postponed until July, he did change his mind in March." Huo Qiyuan sighed softly, "He followed the Northern faction not because he was a member of the Huo family and wanted to keep his own. Vested interests, but because they think that the southern faction cannot rule the country. But now we can easily understand that it was correct for the vice president to choose the southern faction.”

The international situation in the 90s was changing, and the system established since the founding of the People's Republic of China was no longer in line with the times. The old interest groups were bound to be reshuffled. Even if the reform would bring hidden dangers that might develop into a cancer, it was bound to change.

"The current situation is different from that of the past. Twelve years later, what the country wants is not only economic development, but also political integrity." Huo Qiyuan said quietly, "The current central government is the same as Qiyu back then. A true traveler. It’s just that Qiyu can’t see this day.”

"He gave the Northern faction a hard blow, which directly contributed to the reshuffle of the Northern faction in the second half of 97. The vitality of the Northern faction was greatly damaged. The Northern faction could not continue to obstruct the reform. But he put himself on the cusp of the storm. The general relationship is still from the Huo family's background, and they can no longer keep him. The Southern faction has intentions, but at that time, in order to ease the relationship with the Northern faction, they also secretly promoted the Northern faction's revenge. "

So he died, the top killer invited by Nie Liang.The struggle in Beijing died down, but his family was shattered.

"Why didn't the northern faction retaliate against you?" Shen Qiao seemed to have thought of something, and guessed most of the points as soon as the words came out.

Huo Qiyuan clarified for him: "My father was also a member of the Northern School at that time. Who is Qiyu's family member, he will tell the Northern School."

What Huo Qiyu really cared about was the family formed by him and Shen Yun. Huo Lin and him were his real family.

"Qiyu has not been raised by his parents since he was a child. When he came back later, he didn't like his father's style. People in the capital called him Huo Er because he didn't understand the inside story. His father might also feel guilty about Qiyu, but at that time, he To protect the Huo family, we can only..."

"Only what?" Shen Qiao asked subconsciously.

Huo Qiyuan was silent, but Shen Qiao already knew the answer.

He is an outsider, and to the Huo family, he has been an outsider from beginning to end.Things that can be pushed on his head, of course, can't make the family suffer.

Shen Qiao thought of those years, when he was surrounded by enemies, the people he once regarded as relatives and friends, they would either add insult to injury, or stand by and watch.

The corner of his mouth slowly curled into an absurd and mocking smile. What is absurd is this world, and what is mocking is himself.

"We have always owed you an apology. You shouldn't have been responsible for your grievances back then." Huo Qiyuan said in a low voice, "It's true that we have had a hard time these years."

Wronged?

He wanted to laugh a little, but his face remained expressionless after all.

They need a target, and no one is better than him.If everyone wants to be alone, the result will only be in vain.After being used for so many years, even if she knew the truth, Shen Qiao actually felt that he had no regrets.

No matter how difficult it was back then, he persisted after all.

"If you still remember that your brother-in-law's surname is Huo, then you can start the matter with the Nie family. I don't want to show up again." Shen Qiao said slowly.

He did not regret it, but when he recalled those years, Shen Qiao did feel a little tired: they had a panoramic view of all his struggles, but they watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end.

"Okay." Huo Qiyuan nodded, "Can I ask you one more thing?"

"ask."

"Wen Yan once told me that Qi Yu said a word to him, 'He is dead, don't come to his funeral'." Huo Qiyuan said, noticing that Shen Qiao's face changed slightly, "He stood on the cusp of the storm, It is hard to escape the people he is related to. After you return to Beijing, some people can stop avoiding suspicion, but Wen Yan can't."

"You know his background. If you are together, you will inevitably not be a burden to him." He raised his voice slightly. "Is it because of this reason that you refuse to reconcile with him?"

His voice echoed in the empty box and lasted for a long time.Shen Qiao shifted her gaze slightly out of the window, and said calmly, "Not all of them."

Huo Qiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"You know my relationship with Nie Liang. When my brother-in-law just passed away, I didn't know the surrounding environment, but I knew that I had to keep the Shen family's property on the outlying island. At that time, Zhao Wenyan couldn't help me, but Nie Liang could."

"No matter who paid more when we were in love, I abandoned him. I let go first, so I have no right to look back." He lowered his head subconsciously, and the speed of his speech was obviously faster. "Later, I wanted to protect He, but I also hate him because of..., not him, I will not fall out with Nie Liang in Hong Kong, and Xiaolin will not----"

He stopped suddenly, turned around in astonishment, and the screen fell to the ground. Zhao Wenyan stood behind him, looking straight at him, with complex and painful eyes:

"It's not like that." He said, his tone trembling uncomfortably, "Shen Qiao, it's not like that."
