Mr. Wood is in the North Pole, I am in the South

At noon, Xiao Ran was called by Mu Nancheng to have dinner together on the [-]th floor. It was inconvenient for Mr. President to appear in the staff restaurant, so the lunch was held in Mu Nancheng's office.

"I thought you would subdue these people with your ability," Mu Nancheng said to Xiao Ran, "rather than move me out simply and rudely."

Xiao Ran scooped rice with lobster with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth:

"Does Mr. Mu also watch idol dramas? It's a pity that I'm not a good actor. I don't have that much charisma and courage to act."

He swallowed the rice in his mouth, and took another sip of water, "The distance that can be reached in a straight line, never take a curve, I don't have the time and interest to win people's hearts, I believe that is not what Mr. Mu wants to see."

After all, he is all surnamed Song. If you say that Mu Nancheng is not at all wary of him, he would not believe it. You know yourself.

Mu Nancheng frowned imperceptibly, this was Xiao Ran's shrewd and capable side, a look he had never seen before, obviously, Fu Yuxing would not teach/teach him like this, this child knows nothing by himself.

Utilitarian, sharp, sharp, with a clear goal, insight into human nature, using every chess piece well, regardless of the process and only seeking the result, most of the second-generation heirs trained by the Nanjiang family are like this, Xiao Ran is in it, and he is naturally influenced by his ears and eyes.

Anyone who looks at him like a jade baby and takes it lightly will definitely lose miserably, just like how he dealt with people like Miki and Li Mingheng. People can use force, he knows every inch in his heart, he will not let himself suffer, and he knows how to leave a way for himself.

Xiao Ran has a crystal-like heart, pure and true.

He also has the mind and means given to him by his background and education, and his toughness is true.

Mu Nancheng stared at Xiao Ran intently. This child's goodness was beyond his imagination. Doting on him would be a happy and unburdened thing. He has enough self-protection ability, so it won't become his weakness, but his weakness. help.

The sun at noon was so good, it was alive and golden, but Mu Nancheng's eyes were more intense than the sun, Xiao Ran touched his face, and asked him strangely:

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Mu Nancheng said truthfully:

"Because I suddenly discovered that I didn't know you well enough before."

"What did you think of me before?"

Mu Nancheng laughed:

"I always thought you were stupid."

As he expected, Xiao Ran pouted:

"what about now?"

Mu Nancheng reached out and pinched the child's tender, jelly-like cheeks:

"Now I realize that you're cute as a bitch!"

Xiao Ran hid back, but it was obvious that the evaluation of getting to Mu Nancheng was not negative. He rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and said with a mischievous smile:

"Then the next time I encounter today's situation, I will try 'convincing people with cuteness'?"

"Then you must be invincible, gods can block and kill gods..."

Mu Nancheng was only halfway through his compliments when the internal line in the office rang. The smile in Mu Nancheng's eyes remained undiminished, and he pressed the speakerphone: "Hello?"

The voice of the hostess lady resounded in the wide space, like a female voice telling the time, rigorous and pleasant:

"Mr. Mu, there is a Mr. Song Shuheng who wants to see you. He said that as long as you give his name, you will see him."

Mu Nancheng glanced at Xiao Ran, who was also looking up.

"Let him come up." It was Xiao Ran who spoke, and he sighed imperceptibly.

Song Shuheng has not been in the country for many years, he doesn't even know where Xiao Ran lives, so he can only come to Ennan Group to look for Mu Nancheng, but he doesn't think the two of them are eating together.

Mu Nancheng leaned against the back of the chair, looking relaxed and leisurely like his master:

"Brother-in-law, do you want to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for you?"

One sentence offended the two brothers, Song Shuheng's seven orifices were full of smoke, and he glared angrily, Xiao Ran also pursed his lips and stared round his eyes.

Song Shuheng met Xiao Ran since the day he returned to China, but he learned that his younger brother was going to marry Mu Nancheng. He has been anxious for the past few days and has not subsided. At this moment, he has no time to talk to Mu Nancheng, pointing at Xiao Ran and shouting:

"Of course you come here!"

Xiao Ran stood up from the chair slowly, and looked at Song Shuheng hesitantly.

At this time, he was completely like a boy under 20 years old, frightened by his elder brother's majesty, timid and cowardly, he did not have the look of ease when facing Ennan's high-level executives.

Mu Nancheng frowned a little bit, his eyes turned cold, very displeased:

"Young Master Song, it's too impolite for you to yell at my people in my office. If you don't know the etiquette of being a guest in someone else's house, I can ask my secretary to come in and teach you."

Song Shuheng took a deep breath, desperately suppressing himself not to get angry at this moment, he beckoned to Xiao Ran, and said softly:

"Come here, of course, brother will take you home, brother has a house now."

Mu Nancheng laughed out loud.

Just as Song Shuheng made no secret of his hostility towards Mu Nancheng, Mu Nancheng also disliked Song Shuheng. Song Shuheng came here specifically to take Xiao Ran away. Very emotional, Mu Nancheng wanted to throw him out the window on the 88th floor.

Xiao Ran stood still in front of Song Shuheng, who gritted his teeth and stared at Mu Nancheng who was staring at them unblinkingly:

"Mr. Mu, I have something to say to my brother alone, can you avoid it?"

"No," Mu Nancheng refused cleanly, "I think you look like you want to beat Xiao Ran, how can I leave at this time?"

Song Shuheng's blood rushed to the top of his head uncontrollably.

"He won't hit me." It was Xiao Ran who spoke. He looked at Mu Nancheng with a serious expression, "He is the best person to me in this world now."

Song Shuheng had hot flashes in his eyes, and indescribable sadness and joy welled up in his heart. He turned his face away, bit his lower lip, and his clenched fists were shaking slightly.

Mu Nancheng stared at Xiao Ran for a while, his expression was tense and displeased, but he finally compromised and went out.

The secretary came in to clean up the rest of the meal, and made tea again. Xiao Ran and Song Shuheng sat on the sofa. Song Shuheng lowered his head, his eyes were red.

"elder brother."

Xiao Ran called out softly, and Song Shuheng was shocked suddenly. The "Brother" sounded like a sharp whistle, easily piercing through his heart.

"Of course," Song Shuheng sat next to Xiao Ran and held his hand, his eyes were full of heartache and pity, "Go back with brother, brother will never let you be alone again, you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want I will accompany you for everything, you give brother a chance and let me take care of you..."

"I'm fine now."

"How can you be good? Even if you don't tell me, I can guess why you and Mu Nancheng got married. What conditions did he negotiate with you? Shares? Money? How much does he want? Listen to me, this man is in Xizhou Notorious, the process of his fortune is full of blood, his world is beyond your imagination..."

Xiao Ran smiled. He has distinct eyebrows, and the curvature of his face and jaw are very soft. It seems that such a calm and cold smile appears on his face, which is very inconsistent:

"Brother, every person who suddenly gets rich will have such an unimaginable story behind it. People would rather believe that all self-made men are gangsters than admit that there are geniuses in this world."

"There are geniuses in this world." Song Shuheng tightened Xiao Ran's hand, he always felt that Xiao Ran's expression made him startled, "You are, and so is Yu Xing, but Mu Nancheng is not, he is just born greedy and vicious! He is an out-and-out careerist, a predator! I have heard of the inhuman abuse of miners in the mines under his name in Mienbei, and I have seen it with my own eyes in Nanzhou. The refugees who entered the factory opened fire, and countless people fell in a pool of blood. Those were not cold photos and figures, but the lives of people trampled on that I had seen with my own eyes..."

"Brother," Xiao Ran gently interrupted him, "I've seen the two things you mentioned on the news, and I don't think Mu Nancheng is at fault for handling these two things.

The miners in Mianbei raised prices on the ground, and even instigated the local reactionary forces to rob the mine, deliberately causing conflicts between the mine and the army/team. Is it wrong for Mu Nancheng to punish the culprit after the dispute is settled?As for the refugees, those thugs who are only dressed as refugees but armed with heavy weapons, is it wrong for the factory security to fight back in self-defense?I think brother, since you are at the scene, knowing all the ins and outs, you can still complain for the robbers—”

Xiao Ran's voice was like a stream in late autumn, clean and clear, but also bitingly cold, chilling Song Shuheng's heart, "This is the 'Holy Father', or the 'Holy Father' who is generous to others."

Song Shuheng held Xiao Ran's tightly with his hand, and he almost exerted all his strength, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his fingers were all white.

He stared at Xiao Ran, unable to believe that such words came from Xiao Ran's mouth.

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, Song Shuheng hurt him, but he still said calmly,

"It's about the matter. Mu Nancheng is a businessman, and he doesn't run a philanthropic hall. Even if he opens a philanthropic hall, the relief must be grateful and obedient civilians. As for the 'mob', they are 'violent' first, and then 'civilians'." ’, so I think it’s right to deal with them first with ‘removal’ and then with ‘safety’.”

"What are you doing?!" Song Shuheng stood up from the sofa quickly, and he took two steps irritably, "I think you were brainwashed by Mu Nancheng!"

"Of course, you can't," Song Shuheng was a little incoherent, he was desperately trying to figure out what to say, "You can't completely trust someone who treats you kindly, you have to learn to distinguish who treats you sincerely, Who has other plans..."

"I know Mu Nancheng's plan." Xiao Ran lowered his head and wriggled his fingers with a casual look, "He wants the Yuanshan shares in my hand."

"You know..."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ran looked up at Song Shuheng, with a sharp light in his dark eyes, "Brother, have you forgotten that I married Mu Nancheng, and his property is half of mine. The shares in my hand belong to him." Well, half of the huge Ennan is mine, this is a fair deal, speaking of it, I took advantage of Mu Nancheng, and the shares of Ennan International are now worth more than Yuanshan."

Song Shuheng suddenly felt absurd and unbelievable:

"How can you be someone who covets other people's property!"

"That's because you haven't lived with me for a long time, and you don't know me for a long time. Now I think that wealth is a very good thing..."

"Bullshit!"

Song Shuheng was so heartbroken that he was out of breath, his handsome facial features were almost distorted, he walked back and forth in front of the sofa angrily, finally he stood firmly in front of Xiao Ran, "No, you have to go back with me, I have to accompany you , I can't let you hang out with Mu Nancheng anymore!"

Xiao Ran frowned slightly:

"Brother, why are you so irritable now? Are you not afraid of scaring patients when you are a doctor like this?"

"I'm just your brother now, and you're not my patient! Don't talk about him!"

"I won't leave with you, brother," Xiao Ran said clearly, word by word, "Don't you understand that we are no longer in the same world?"

This sentence is undoubtedly a deep cut, cutting flesh to the bone, Song Shuheng's breathing froze.

Xiao Ran spread out his hands, and that kind of cool and faint breath lingered around his brows and eyes again, making him seem to lose his reality in Song Shuheng's eyes.

"You see, as early as 11 years ago, you had your mother, I had my mother, and we had already parted ways. For so many years, you and I have nothing in our lives. We have long been separated. Far away, two people on different sides of the sky. It is the fourth brother who has led me to live all these years, and Mu Nancheng, to some extent, he is from the same world as the fourth brother, "

Xiao Ran's last words were spoken very softly and slowly. His voice was originally very clear and clear, like the sound of ice and broken jade hitting each other, but at this moment it was as thick as the evening drum and the morning bell, hitting Song Shuheng's eardrums, pressing his back. bent down,

"Brother, you have long been unable to give me what I want."

Xiao Ran lowered his head, his pitch-black hair was fluffy and soft, like a fragile and harmless animal, Song Shuheng could touch him just by raising his hand.

The two brothers are so close, yet so far away.

They kept each other's frozen postures for a long time, and then Song Shuheng mechanically walked towards the door step by step.

The office was so well lit and full of sunlight, Song Shuheng's back was dragged along the glowing floor for a long time, walking quietly, lonely and precipitous.

……

When Mu Nancheng walked in, Xiao Ran was standing in front of his large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, overlooking the busy city below.

The steel forest, the sea of ​​lights in the city, all living beings in this world are as insignificant as ants when he looks down.

"Everyone in this world likes to look down, but why do I feel that the more I look down, the more powerless I am?"

When Mu Nancheng walked to Xiao Ran's side, he heard him sigh so quietly, he raised his hands to support his shoulders:

"Because the land is so vast that even if you look down at it, you still feel powerless. So we have to stand higher and farther, so high that we can have a panoramic view of the whole land."

Xiao Ran was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled:

"Mr. Mu, are you imagining that the roc will rise with the same wind in one day and soar up to [-] miles?"

Mu Nancheng also laughed:

"You just say that I want to go to heaven, Mr. Mu forgives you child, you have no taboos."

----

When he got off work in the evening, Mu Nancheng didn't catch Xiao Ran on the 35th floor. He had to work overtime for 10 to [-] minutes because of business affairs, and this little guy left without even saying hello.

The phone tone of "beep" echoed continuously in the small space of the car, and the mechanical and cold "the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered" again and again made Mu Nancheng's face darker and darker.

Mu Nancheng sat calmly in the car, the underground parking lot was dimly lit, and his expression could not be seen, only the evil spirit from between his brows, layers upon layers of tangible substance, made Han Zhen's scalp numb.

"Go to the Xiaoshan mansion."

The Xiaoshan Mansion is only a 15-minute drive from Ennan Mansion, and Mu Nancheng arrived downstairs one step earlier than Xiao Ran.

Mu Nancheng was angry at first, he planned to see Xiao Ran, he had to teach the kid a lesson first, he had to tell him Song Xiaoran, no matter how we got married, would you like it in your heart? , we are now a legal couple, I waited for you downstairs in the company for half an hour, and called you seven or eight calls, but you ignored them and refused to answer them, you are wrong.

But these resentments and anger disintegrated the moment Xiao Ran appeared.

As the sun was setting, the child just walked slowly, with one hand in his trouser pocket and a brown paper bag in the other, tapping his thigh lightly as he walked, which was obviously a very naughty gesture. He did it with a kind of free and easy cuteness.

The street lamps were gradually turned on, and the hazy yellow light flowed down like a stream, like layers of delicate light gold tulle covering the top of his soft hair.

Han Zhen had already left, and Mu Nancheng was sitting alone in the car, watching Xiao Ran walk into the dim light from dusk, and watching him walk past his car without turning his eyes.

One walked without distraction, and the other watched intently.

For a long time, Mu Nancheng watched Xiao Ran walk past him like this.

The young man was carrying a schoolbag and walked slowly on the campus path under the shade of Kyoto University with his head bowed. Mu Nancheng would stop in front of him, then walk towards him, approaching him step by step, and then pass him by .

As soon as Mu Nancheng turned around, he could see his thin and thin back, like a newborn poplar, straight and weak, surviving in the storm, all by instinct.

Xiao Ran was still very young at that time, the news of He's accident was overwhelming, people on the road were pointing at him, and he often looked at those people with dark and blank eyes, as if he didn't understand these unfamiliar and irrelevant things Why do people look at him with weird eyes, mocking, sympathetic, sarcastic, and gloating.

Some people will say:

"It's so pitiful. I heard that he is the only one left in his family. He is only 13 years old."

Others said:

"Genius boy, God is fair, you won't let one person take everything."

Some people say:

"Look, this is the grandson of that big tiger, he deserves it!"

Mu Nancheng thought angrily, how can people's hearts be so despicable and sinister, such a good child has never hurt anyone, how can you hurt him so recklessly.

Mu Nancheng bypassed the tree-lined path, ran along the avenue, turned the corner and then turned back, passing Xiao Ran head-to-head again and again.

"Xiao Ran, I'm Mu Nancheng. I'm here to see you. Would you like to go to Country M with me? I will take care of you."

"Xiao Ran, do you recognize me? I have seen you since you were five years old, and you even gave me a model airplane."

"Xiao Ran, don't be afraid, don't be sad, I'll take you away, okay? Leave this place of right and wrong and start a new life..."

He designed countless lines, made countless psychological constructions, and the drafts in his stomach could be compiled into a book, but every time he walked in front of Xiao Ran, his mouth seemed to be sewn with a needle, and then in his hesitation over and over again, Xiao Ran walked slowly past him.

There were many times when Xiao Ran's eyes flicked across Mu Nancheng's face, but the eyes were empty and without focus, as if everyone's faces were just like the blue sky and white clouds, or the sycamore trees beside the road, they were lifeless. Put into his eyes, there is no sadness or joy.

Like a handful of silent sand, quietly flowing through Mu Nancheng's fingertips.

It didn't take long for Fu Yuxing to appear, and he preemptively practiced what he failed to say.

Mu Nancheng was at ease at first. Given his situation at the time, it would be dangerous for Xiao Ran to follow him. Now that someone can take care of Xiao Ran, he felt relieved to return to country M to continue his career. He felt that with this layer of buffer, he could Step by step, waiting for Xiao Ran to grow up.

Mu Nancheng always felt that there would be no second person in this world who could be as despicable and shameless as him, so he went back to the capital to visit Xiao Ran many times, and saw this child running and laughing slowly beside Fu Yuxing, like all young people Living so happily and at ease, his gratitude to Fu Yuxing was beyond words.

Only later did he realize that there are people beyond human beings and heaven beyond heaven, and beasts beyond beasts are not as good.

He treasured it and hid it in the most secret and softest place in his heart, waiting hard for the little cabbage who didn't dare to stretch out a finger, and was beaten by another big-headed pig overnight!

On New Year's Day five years ago, Mu Nancheng took a thirteen-hour flight from the western hemisphere back to the eastern hemisphere, trekking through mountains and rivers and wading across the road to the end of the world. Holding carefully selected gifts in large and small boxes, he stepped on the thick snow When he walked downstairs to Xiao Ran's dormitory, he was already physically exhausted, but his heart was burning hot.

When he saw the figure that he had been dreaming of day and night appearing on the steps of the dormitory building, he finally mustered up the courage to go forward. Suddenly, a clear and clear call "Ranran" sounded behind him. After a silver-gray shadow, Xiao Ran brushed past his shoulder like a cheerful bird, and plunged into Fu Yuxing's open arms...

The snow that day was like glue, firmly sticking Mu Nancheng to the ground. From the snowfall to the moonrise, from the dim light to the next sunrise, Mu Nancheng only remembered that when his eyes were blurred, he wiped his face. After splashing the snow water on his face, he felt a little hot.
