Half a catty

He Yue thought that he didn't cry when he woke up from the hospital bed, so it was impossible for him to cry. However, when he lit a cigarette, the faint smoke lingered in front of his eyes for a long time. He didn't know if it was smoked or something. Suddenly the eye sockets became sour.

Most of the soot was burned, and his fingers were gradually frozen and stiff under the midsummer sun.

Wang Chengyi smoked the lingering cigarette butt, sat down beside He Yue without saying a word, took He Yue's hand, and held it in his palm.

He Yue still looked at the cemetery quietly, but the turbulence of tears sang the opposite of his calmness, and the expression appeared on his face, which was both divided and harmonious.

Feeling that He Yue's fingers were gradually warming up in his hands, Wang Chengyi calmed down a little. This kind of He Yue was at least much more angry than when he was in the hospital. He only had to find a breakthrough to vent his emotions. Wounds can heal.

"He left on his birthday." He Yue said softly: "I saw him lying in the car, he was still breathing at that time, his eyes closed as if he was asleep, I reached out to touch him, but Don't dare to touch him."

It was the first time that He Yue mentioned the details of that day, which was a knot in his heart that he had not revealed to He Mu.

"It was the first time in my life that I was so close to death, and then came the second time, but the second time I didn't feel scared anymore, I just regretted that I didn't touch him and wake him up."

The sun slowly climbed and moved, and the shade of the trees was covered.

"I understand that there will be such a day sooner or later, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon in this way." He Yue's voice trembled for a moment, and he only had a nasal tone when he spoke, without choking: "I just regret it That's all."

Wang Chengyi and He Yue looked at the layer upon layer of tombstones in the distance together. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at He Yue.He Yue's tears flowed continuously, as if they would never end. The liquid climbed onto He Yue's eyeballs, making those eyes look extremely clear, and when they accumulated too much, another bead rolled down.

"It seems that no one can be with anyone for a lifetime, and there will always be a day of separation."

Tears were hanging on He Yue's sharp chin, which was crumbling with his words.Wang Chengyi stretched out his finger, caught it, and put it in front of his eyes, the transparent water droplets arched a round arc on his fingertips, looking through it, the fingerprints became clearer.Wang Chengyi stared at it for a while, then quickly put his finger close to his lips, and the tip of his tongue took away the teardrop from his fingertip, and his mouth only tasted extremely salty.

"There will be someone." Wang Chengyi said firmly, "Someone will stay with you until the end, I promise."

There was a faint noise coming from behind them, and there was tranquility in front of them. The people walking in the cemetery were obviously much more relieved. They lightly put down a bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone, and the faint fragrance of flowers spread with the wind. up to their noses.

"Wang Chengyi, my leg hurts." He Yue's tears stopped at some point, and his cheeks felt a little tense when the wind blew past.Gui raised the broken hair on his forehead and scratched his eyelashes from time to time, He Yue held Wang Chengyi's hand instead.

Wang Chengyi raised his eyes, and happened to collide with He Yue's eyes looking back from the side, as if he had crashed into a pool of water, causing layers of ripples.

He Xincheng's cemetery hadn't been fully repaired yet, and the date of burial had to be determined at another time. After He's mother took the ashes, she urged He Yue to return to the hospital as soon as possible.

Even though He Yue just stood there for a whole morning, the injury still deteriorated unsurprisingly. His whole calf was swollen and oozing blood. The treatment he had done in recent days was in vain. The doctor was so angry that he told him not to cherish his body and respect them. work.He Yue was speechless, but it was even more difficult for him to face his mother.

He Yue, who was conceived by He's mother in October, hurt He Yue's body, just like gouging out flesh in her heart. How could she see this, so she blamed He Yue again and again, but she couldn't bear to speak harshly.

And Wang Chengyi also became stern in a rare way, and said uncompromisingly: "No matter where I go from now on, just give me a wheelchair honestly."

After lying in the hospital for another week, He Yue was discharged from the wheelchair.

On the day of discharge, only the housekeeper was with him. Mother He originally wanted to pick him up, but He Yue refused.Anyway, the accident that happened to He Xincheng did leave some shadows in He Yue's heart. He was a little afraid of driving, and there was a lingering thought in his mind, worrying that He Mu would be on the way when he came. Will there be any accidents.

And Wang Chengyi, who was always with him, just happened to be called away by Wang Lei. Wang Lei's business in Canada had some unexpected problems, and he had to catch a plane back at night.However, the domestic subsidiary of the Wang family has just been established, and there is no manager who can fully entrust Wang Lei to it, so Wang Chengyi had no choice but to accept orders in the face of danger.When he left in the morning, he was reluctant to part, as if He Yue was not going to be discharged from the hospital, but to enter the operating room, which made He Yue dumbfounded.

He Yue also retrieved from the nurse the suit he was wearing when he was taken to the hospital.The dark one was packed in a bag, and it could be seen that it had been stacked as neatly as possible, but after being burned by the fire, the doctor cut it into several pieces with scissors, and it was really broken into pieces.

He Yue flipped through the pile of rags and found the two cufflinks that were still intact at the cuff of the shirt, but the platinum part of one of them was burnt black, he wiped it and put it in his pocket.

Also, the housekeeper brought him his new mobile phone.In the car, He Yue plugged in the phone card, and he was connected to the outside world again.On the way to He's villa, He Yue received the first call from the new mobile phone.

It was actually from Hengtong.

He Yue seemed relatively silent on the other end of the phone. He answered briefly and his face was a little dark.

"Uncle, don't go home now, go to the company." He Yue said to the housekeeper.

"Now? Madame is still waiting at home."

He Yue leaned back on the chair pillow, closed his eyes and meditated: "There is something I need to deal with."

"I've just been discharged from the hospital. I don't let people rest for anything..." the housekeeper complained softly, turned the steering wheel and turned.

He Yue didn't know what it was, but he had an unknown heavy premonition.He only got an invitation to attend the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on the phone, and emphasized that he and his mother must be there. Obviously, the protagonist of this meeting has been decided.

Inheritance still needs a process, and the extraordinary general meeting held at this juncture is very intriguing.

The butler pushed him into the largest conference room in Hengtong Building. I don’t know why he came late or these people came early. Everyone sat in their seats in an orderly manner. There was no sound after he appeared.

He Yue glanced around first, only to realize that there were so many people in the board of directors.He looked familiar and unfamiliar, and he surrounded the huge table to the full, plus he was just right, so no seat was wasted.

Sitting opposite him was the one he was most familiar with - Menqi.

After He Yue came, there was a brief silence in the meeting room, as if they were waiting for others to speak first.Normally, the vice chairman of Menqi should preside over the meeting, but Menqi half-closed his eyes.At this time, the chief supervisor suddenly asked He Yue: "Is Mrs. He not coming?"

He Yue smiled: "It's enough for me to come."

"Then... let's get started," said the chief supervisor.

The haste of this meeting was visible to the naked eye, there were no proposals, only some information about Hengtong's business situation, which was too thin.

To understand it in another direction, maybe the ulterior motive is not drinking.

"The death of Director He made us feel very sad, but now we have to face many other problems, which are related to the future development of Hengtong and the current situation..." After the chairman of the board of supervisors gave a high-sounding speech, he said: Please read the meeting materials.

It is inevitable that Hengtong's stock price will fall after He Xincheng's death. This issue can be said to be big or small. In the first few 10 minutes of the meeting, a round of discussions based on this point was discussed, and then the most important thing was naturally brought out.

"It's like this. The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the changes in the board of directors and make some timely adjustments to stabilize the company's stock price."

He Yue raised his head from the documents, with a calm expression, and looked at the chief supervisor, who happened to be looking at him too.

"Mr. He." The voice was calling He Yue, after all, He Yue still has the position of vice president in the company: "What Hengtong urgently needs now is a reliable leader. Do you think you are competent?"

Of course, He Yue can't boast, and he doesn't have the capital to be arrogant. All the people here are old fried dough sticks who are much older than him and have been in the business world for many years. In terms of reliability, He Yue can't be ranked at all.

"I think I'm not qualified enough to be the chairman." He Yue took a step back.

The chairman can be elected and rotated. He doesn't mind letting go of management decision-making power. As long as he has the equity in his hand, he will be able to take back the power sooner or later, but He Yue never thought that these people not only want his power, but also pull his muscles and bones. skin.

The chairman of the supervisor pondered: "We are looking at it from a long-term perspective, and I hope you can take a long-term perspective."

"You might as well just say it straight," He Yue said.

"The board wants you to transfer all the shares."

He Yue's pupils shrank slightly, he stared at the chief supervisor, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and then he looked at Men Qi who had been silent all along, but Men Qi was still the same, looking at his nose, nose, nose and heart, beckoning He Yue in It hasn't changed since then.

"Impossible." After a long time of stalemate, He Yue paused every word, gritted his teeth and replied.

After he said these three words, some people couldn't sit still.

"He Yue, you are still too young." A shareholder He Yue often met with sighed.

"With your qualifications, it's far from enough to deal with such a big company." Others echoed.

He Yue followed the sound, sneered, his eyes were piercing, as if he was about to pin the man to the back of the chair, he said sharply: "My father hasn't been buried yet, everyone can't wait."

He Yue's words lost their euphemism, but became more lethal. The two shareholders suddenly blushed, as if their clothes had been lifted in public.

Then some people tried to separate themselves from them, using more hypocritical reasons, just going around, these people's meanings are all the same.

"We are also considering the company's development."

"This is your father's effort, do you have the heart to let it fail?"

"And we just want you to transfer the shares under your name. As for your mother's, the right to dividends will still be reserved."

For a while, it was as noisy as a vegetable market. You said something to others, and the rest were silent, but they all looked like they were watching the fire from the other side, watching He Yue alone being "pointed out by thousands of people".

He Yue slammed the folder out and hit it on the desktop, the sound resounding through the conference room.Everyone quieted down, and He Yue asked in a deep voice: "Is there a regulation in the company's articles of association that shareholder qualifications cannot be inherited?"

The chairman of the board of supervisors cleared his throat and said rationally: "There is no such provision in the company's articles of association, but I just suggest you not to play tricks. To put it bluntly, this is related to the interests of everyone here. Not only that, but also the interests of so many people below. Work, there are thousands of people in this building..."

He Yue interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and he said coldly: "Since there is no such regulation, let's avoid it."

The person who started the fire said again: "Think carefully, don't let Hengtong be destroyed in your hands."

He Yue was trying his best to hold back his violent emotions, he glared at the man viciously, the only thought at the moment was to pinch the man's neck, so that that ungrateful mouth could no longer speak a word.

At this moment, Menqi suddenly said: "Everyone calm down and talk about it, everything is negotiable."

He Yue turned to Men Qi, but Men Qi didn't look at him.

Under the mediation of Menqi's words, the atmosphere temporarily eased a little.He Yue held his breath, carefully looked at every greedy face, and kept it in his heart.

The board of directors will not let it go, and He Yue is even less likely to back down. The meeting has been going on for several hours between the two parties, and there will be no result after all.

The meeting was declared over, and Men Qi, who only said one word from the beginning to the end, pushed the wheelchair and sent He Yue out.

In the quiet corridor, the only sound is the mechanical sound of the wheelchair sliding.He Yue looked ahead and said to the people behind him, "Uncle Men, at the memorial service, you cheered me up early, just for today?"

Menqi said calmly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"When I learned that I was discharged from the hospital, the first thing I did was to hold a general meeting of shareholders. I couldn't wait for one more day." He Yue sneered, Menqi had a great say in the board of directors, and it was impossible for Menqi to stay out of the matter.He Yue asked: "The proposal of the chairman of the board of supervisors was inspired by you?"

They turned the corner, and the butler was waiting for He Yue in the reception area not far ahead. During this period, Menqi didn't answer.

He Yue said again: "Even if you didn't instruct it, you still acquiesced."

"Everything I do is from the perspective of the company." Menqi said.

"It's all come to this point, what can't you say?" He Yue stretched out his hand to pull the brake of the wheelchair, Men Qi's footsteps stopped, and they stopped outside the reception area.He Yue said: "After my shares are dispersed, you will be the largest shareholder."

Menqi seemed helpless: "Based on this, you can arbitrarily determine that I incited them to force you to give up the shares?"

"You don't need to ask me back." He Yue said.

"I'm old too, I'm older than your father." What Men Qi said was that he had no intention of fighting: "You are too hostile to me, but I'm still willing to tell you that you have something in someone else's hands." inside."

He Yue Yilin, although he knew that these people would not let it go, but he couldn't think of any other way these people would use to deal with him.

What excuse does he have?He has too many handles.

Men Qi's reminder, not only did not make He Yue feel confident, but it made him even more suspenseful.

But what He Yue can be sure of is that today is definitely not the last hand-to-hand combat between him and the board of directors.

He Yue held the wheelchair, slid forward for a while, and turned back; "So, Uncle Men, see you at the next shareholder meeting?"

Men Qi looked at him kindly: "Goodbye."

The butler helped him into the car, folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk.

He Yue hung his head on the back seat, staring at the palms of his palms, tiny beads of sweat came out from the pores and wet his hands.

The butler returned to the car, started the engine, and said to He Yue: "Madam urged me several times, and said an hour ago that dinner has been prepared at home, waiting for you to go back."

"Did you tell her what I was doing?"

"I didn't tell her."

"Thank you." He Yue raised his head and exchanged a glance with the butler in the rearview mirror.

"Young master, actually I think you are very similar to your father, you are a responsible man." He has followed He Xincheng for many years, and has seen many times when He Xincheng encountered troubles, he would treat He mother kindly like He Yue now Concealing it, I'm afraid Mother He will be more worried.

"Oh? Really?" He Yue forced a smile. He looked out of the window, and the street scene gradually turned into light and shadow: "It would be great if everyone felt that way..." He murmured.

He Yue returned to the villa and saw He Mu in the living room.Mother He was leaning on the sofa, watching TV, and what was playing on the TV was neither a TV series nor a program, but a video of her wedding with He Xincheng decades ago.

At that time, He Xincheng had not yet achieved a successful career, and the wedding room was not big, with two bedrooms and one living room. On the screen, festive red letters were pasted on the windows and walls of that house, and there were decorations with the characteristics of that era.He Mu's wedding dress is also very different from the popular styles now, with exaggerated puff sleeves, complicated veil, and the light pink that was preferred at that time, which makes He Mu extraordinarily delicate.

He Xincheng in the video is also young, with a smug smile on his face.

Even though the pictures are far less clear than those taken by today's machines, He Yue can still see clearly.

The butler was right, he was indeed very similar to He Xincheng.

He Yue stepped forward, abandoned the wheelchair, and sat next to Mother He: "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

When the sofa moved like this, Mother He came back to her senses. Seeing that it was He Yue, she said happily, "Waiting for you, why did you come back so late?"

He Yue said: "I was delayed in the hospital for a while—" A figure suddenly flashed out of his peripheral vision, running from the direction of the kitchen. He Yue was startled, and when he looked over, he saw that the person who came was actually Wang Chengyi in an apron.

"You're back! I just reheated the dishes." Wang Chengyi said enthusiastically.

"Why are you here?" He Yue asked.

"Me." Wang Chengyi came over and put his hands on Mother He's shoulders: "I made an agreement with Auntie, and I will live here from now on."

"His father has returned to Canada, leaving Chengyi at home alone, how lonely." Mother He patted the back of Wang Chengyi's hand: "He moved to our house, and there is a caretaker."

He Yue couldn't keep up with this development.

Wang Chengyi said mysteriously: "I also made an extra medicinal soup, specially for Brother Yue."

Mother He said strangely: "Don't look at Chengyi's young age, he has researched on health preservation."

After hearing this, Wang Chengyi said repeatedly: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." With the movement of bowing and waving his hands, He Mu couldn't stop laughing.

Facing these two smiling faces, He Yue felt at ease for a moment. No matter what setbacks or difficulties he encountered at this moment, it was no longer important, because all the anxiety had a place to go.
