little uncle

At nine o'clock in the morning, when Cheng Yu was going to the supermarket, Zhou Hongyuan clamored to go with him, but he refused to say anything, and only asked Zhou Hongyuan to rest at home.Zhou Hongyuan didn't dare to be tough with him, so he had to agree.

When Cheng Yu came home, he took two bags of vegetables and meat, rested on the sofa for a while, and then rushed to the kitchen.Zhou Hongyuan stood beside him, watching him skillfully cut the eggplant strips in front of the chopping board, and asked, "How do you cook so many dishes, is there anyone who wants to come?"

While Cheng Yu stepped up his work, he said perfunctorily, "Well, your Uncle Li Rui will come over for dinner later."

Zhou Hongyuan whispered "um", but his heart was ups and downs.Even after so many years, Zhou Hongyuan still couldn't help but mutter in his heart whenever he thought of Li Rui.On the one hand, he was afraid of Li Rui's businessman's shrewdness, and on the other hand, he vaguely felt that Li Rui had looked down on him from the very beginning.What's more, when he met Zhao Qiming at Peking University, he used Li Rui's guise to get close to Zhao Qiming.Five or six years ago, after he joined a well-known investment bank, he met Zhao Qiming again at a dinner.At that time, Zhao Qiming had left Goldman Sachs and went to work as a senior executive in a state-owned securities company. Zhou Hongyuan wanted to make friends, so he mentioned the first meeting ten years ago, and took advantage of the opportunity to mention Li Rui's name again.Zhao Qiming obviously had no impression of Zhou Hongyuan, but he saved enough face for him by calling him nephew over and over again.Zhou Hongyuan suddenly felt sick when he heard this address. He put the business card handed over by Zhao Qiming into his wallet, but immediately threw it into the trash can when he got home.

Now, thinking of these past events, Zhou Hongyuan felt sick.He went back to the study with a sullen face, thinking over and over how much friendship Zhao Qiming and Li Rui had, and whether Zhao Qiming had ever told Li Rui that there was such a person as himself.But after thinking about it, if Zhao Qiming had mentioned himself to Li Rui, then Cheng Yu must have known his whereabouts already.However, he was very clear that Cheng Yu had no idea where he was or what he was doing these years.

Naturally, Cheng Yu didn't know Zhou Hongyuan's twists and turns. He only thought his reaction was weird, but he didn't have time to think about it. After all, when friends met, he was naturally relaxed and happy.

Li Rui and Cheng Yu have known each other for many years, so there is no need to pay attention to those polite manners, not to mention that he manages several restaurants by himself and is very busy. On the table.

Li Rui obviously gained weight. When he was sitting on the chair, his stomach was pressed tightly against the dining table; his hair was also obviously thinner, and fell on his head.When he saw Zhou Hongyuan coming out of the study, he widened his eyes in disbelief at first, then clenched his fists in the next second. His hands could not see the veins, but he could see his anger from the trembling voice, "You come here!" What are you doing? Cheng Yu, who is he, why did you let him into your house?" Li Rui has been the boss for these years, hiding his sharpness in his fat, although he looks gentle and smooth, but if he is really angry , It can still scare people with a single voice.

When Zhou Hongyuan saw Li Rui for the first time, he couldn't help but think that his uncle is really a stunner in the world. Even though he was the same age as Li Rui, he was still young and handsome, and his figure hadn't changed at all.Zhou Hongyuan naturally knew that Li Rui was angry for Cheng Yu and was worthless for Cheng Yu, but what kind of market situation had Zhou Hongyuan never seen?He walked over steadily, sat opposite Li Rui, and only called "Uncle Li" faintly.

Li Rui is not as good as ten years ago now, and San Gao has not let go of everything, and when Zhou Hongyuan called him Uncle Li, he was so angry that his head "boomed", "Do you want to show some face? "

Zhou Hongyuan didn't want to argue with Li Rui, at least not in front of Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu frowned, patted Li Rui on the shoulder, and instead comforted him, "What are you in a hurry for?"

Li Rui was furious, "Why am I anxious? Cheng Yu, I wasn't the one who was anxious back then."

Cheng Yu was scarred by his old friend, and his face blushed immediately. He bit his lips, and it took him a long time to say, "Forget it, it's all over. If you carry these old sesame seeds and rotten grains every day, you will be so tired." ah."

Li Rui was taken aback for a few moments.He really wanted to tell Cheng Yu that the relationship between you and Zhou Hongyuan was nothing but rotten grain, but he couldn't say it anyway.Since Cheng Yu wanted to recognize this nephew, and since Cheng Yu had thought it over clearly, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only accept it.Li Rui knows how to judge the situation best. Since the old friend likes this ending, why should he add trouble to others?

Li Rui ate two bowls of rice vigorously, the atmosphere among the three people was rather awkward, Cheng Yu "mediated" helplessly, but to no avail.

It can be said that the three men had a meal, and the few dishes quickly bottomed out.Li Rui suddenly

Suddenly he took out the car keys and said to Cheng Yu, "Hi, I just remembered that there is a watermelon in the car, go and get it."

Cheng Yu took the car keys and was about to go out. Zhou Hongyuan was about to get up, and told Cheng Yu that he might as well go get the watermelon by himself, and met Li Rui's playful eyes.Zhou Hongyuan suddenly sat down and didn't speak.

As soon as Cheng Yu went out, Li Rui put down the bowl in his hand with a "slap", and stared at Zhou Hongyuan for a long time with his eyes like an eagle, as if he wanted to see through this person.Zhou Hongyuan was not afraid of him, and faced Li Rui's scrutiny.

Li Rui suddenly looked away. He frowned and said softly, "Did you know that Cheng Yu used to be the best student in the Mathematics Department of University S. Both his grades and published papers were among the best in the department."

After hearing this, Zhou Hongyuan's expression softened a lot, and he even said proudly to Li Rui, "Of course I know."

After hearing Zhou Hongyuan's words, Li Rui suddenly laughed and frowned, "He is very talented in mathematics. He wanted to get a doctorate and do research when he was in college."

Zhou Hongyuan felt a pain in his heart, he didn't know why Li Rui suddenly said this to him.

"Did you know that at that time he had already enrolled in Peking University."

Zhou Hongyuan opened his eyes wide. He looked at Li Rui fixedly, and asked word by word, "What did you say?"

Before going to university, Zhou Hongyuan didn’t understand these things. After he went to university, Zhou Hongyuan wondered several times why Cheng Yu’s grades were so good and he published a few core papers, but he couldn’t get a postgraduate entrance examination, let alone take the postgraduate entrance examination. However, at that time Zhou Hongyuan's thoughts were too complicated, and his focus was no longer on Cheng Yu, so he never thought about it carefully. At this time, Li Rui specially dug it out, and he realized that there might be other stories behind it.

"But Cheng Yu gave up, gave up his academic ideals, and gave up his own future."

"Because he adopted a child named Zhou Hongyuan, because this child's eyeball was smashed in school, and because he needed 8 yuan to operate on this child."

"He was just a college student back then, with no job and no savings. He only had a small house of [-] to [-] square meters, and he wanted to live with you. At that time, the state was strictly controlled, and he couldn't get a loan from the bank. He could What should I do? That bastard Zhao Qiming told Cheng Yu that as long as Cheng Yu was willing to give up his qualifications for insurance research, he would pay him the money. Zhou Hongyuan, tell me, at that time, besides giving up the insurance research qualification, Cheng Yu also had Any other options?"

"I heard that Zhao Qiming is now a senior director of a well-known securities company. You are from the financial circle in Beijing, so you must have heard of his name."

"Zhou Hongyuan, you don't know how much Cheng Yu gave up for you, do you? When you patted your ass and left, did you ever think about how Cheng Yu should deal with herself?"

"What he gave up for you is a lifetime ideal."
