Rebirth one way to the north

Although the Spring Festival is a time for family reunion, compared with ordinary families, the Xia family's Spring Festival is actually very deserted.

Mr. Xia and Xia Chengrui both hold important positions, and it is inevitable to visit Xiaqing during the Spring Festival, posing as if they are enjoying themselves with the people.Xia Chengrui's wife, Luo Yanmei, is a singer of the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe. This time is also a busy time for her. She has to attend various evening parties, and her schedule is full.Xia Chenghan's wife, Qiu Ling, took a part-time job in the Women's Federation. Although her work wasn't stressful, just taking care of the children was enough to make her dizzy.

After graduating, Xia Wan joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a small civil servant. It was the time when he was working hard and studying hard. Even the companies he started when he was in college were all handed over to Shang Qinghua.Xia Wan has a very clear plan for his future, so when he started the company, the legal person used someone else's name, and although he and Shang Qinghua are good brothers who can entrust each other with life and death, neither of them intends to use it. Monetary benefits are used to test this friendship, so there should be agreements and treaties.

Xia Ying had already gone to the United States to study during the summer vacation, and she called back two days ago to say that because Americans do not have holidays during the Chinese New Year, they will not come back.

By the time Xia Chenghan and Xia Duo returned to the imperial capital, the busiest days of the family had passed, and each of them moved around and had time to have a reunion dinner together.

Luo Yanmei found that her youngest son, whom she had not seen for a long time, had grown into a handsome young man. She had mixed feelings in her heart. At one moment, she felt that she had neglected the growth of her youngest son, which was a bit regretful; The little girl called herself "Aunt" behind her back, her youth is like passing water, and she can't keep it; after a while, she thinks that her son has nothing to do with her, and giving birth to this son is like giving birth to her sister-in-law. Thinking about it makes her chest feel tight panic...

Xia Duo didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he picked up a piece of braised pig's trotter for her, and said, "Mom, eating a piece of pig's trotter is good for the skin."

Luo Yanmei frowned subconsciously, "It's too greasy." She was in the song and dance troupe, surrounded by a group of flowery little girls all day long, and she paid special attention to her figure. Even if it was the New Year's reunion dinner, she didn't eat much .

Xia Wan hurriedly said: "It's okay to eat two yuan once in a while, drink some tea after a meal and the greasyness will go away."

Luo Yanmei just complained casually, thinking that this was also the wish of her youngest son, so she took two bites to mean it.Seeing that his mother was reluctant to eat, Xia Wan was afraid that Xia Duo would be upset, so he hurriedly brought some food for Xia Duo, and asked him about his studies and work, hoping that such an interruption would make Xia Duo have no time to pay attention to his mother.

In fact, Xia Duo doesn't care about his mother's performance. Unlike other people's imagination, although he is an optimistic and cheerful person, he always seems to be very friendly and tolerant to his family and friends, but in fact he knows that he just doesn't care about many things .

Just like Xia Wan will be very concerned and concerned about his mother's reaction, that's because he is Luo Yanmei's first child, and he is highly anticipated to come into this world.Among the three siblings since childhood, Xia Wan was the child most loved by his mother. He and his mother are also very close. They have frequent emotional exchanges and interactions with each other.He has admiration and expectations for his mother, and Luo Yanmei will respond to his admiration and expectations.

As for Xia Duo, he has long been used to his mother's neglect and indifference, and his expectations of his mother are always in vain. Although he will not resent him, he will definitely not attach importance to his mother's thoughts like his brother.Therefore, every time such a family reunion happens, Xia Wan is actually the one who is the most tired. The old man and Xia Chengrui are so high above that they cannot see the inner world of the children. In fact, even their own inner world is the same for their generation. Roughly ignored; Luo Yanmei and Xia Ying's mother and daughter are exactly the same, they only care about their own feelings; Xia Chenghan and Qiu Ling, even if they have any thoughts, they will not express them easily.

Xiawan is the only one who sincerely avenges his brother's injustice, and he is the only one who is trying to make up for the relationship between his family members.

Xia Duo was considerate of his brother, and chatted with him with a smile. Mr. Xia also heard a little bit of fun, asked Xia Duo a few things about the star map, and said to Xia Chengrui: "So I thought Duo Duo was a child's play house. Home, earning a few pocket money by playing around, but I didn’t expect him to spread the stall.”

Xia Chengrui is also proud of his youngest son in his heart, but his generation is used to suppressing education for their children, the more proud they are, the more they want to belittle them, for fear that their children will be overwhelmed if they are praised.So he still said to Xia Duo seriously: "You can open the factory thanks to your elder brother's help. Besides, if you didn't have the background of our family, it wouldn't be so easy. But you have to remember it for me. When others give you convenience, you must grasp the limit in your heart, and you can't cross the line. Don't let others fall into the trap. If you do something, I don't need others to catch you, and I will send you to the police first. "

Xia Duo said, "Understood."

Xia Wan said: "Dad, Duoduo is not a dude like Xiao Chen, so don't worry." The Xiao Chen that Xia Wan mentioned was the son of a municipal party secretary in a municipality directly under the central government. The news said that the higher-ups planned to deal with it severely, possibly by shooting.

In fact, it is not uncommon among the children of high-ranking cadres to behave like Xiao Chen, but others may not be as small as Xiao Chen.Xia Chengrui naturally knew that his two sons were excellent, and he never let him worry about it. He laughed and scolded: "Compared to that kind of person, I don't think it's shabby."

The family finished their meal in harmony, the three male elders went to the study to talk, Luo Yanmei and Qiu Ling coaxed the children while watching TV in the living room, Xia Wan and Xia Duo sat with them politely for a while, and then they left together Xia Wan’s house on Gulou Street—he lived here much more than in the old house.

Opening a bottle of red wine, Xia Wan poured a glass for himself and his younger brother, clinked glasses and took a sip, Xia Wan said: "What's wrong with your friend named Wei? Teng Jimin asked me twice, as if he was looking for him. "

Xia Duo said, "I can't tell you clearly about their relationship. If Teng Jimin asks you again, you just say you don't know."

Xia Wan frowned: "Of course I don't know. Liang Feng is pregnant."

Xia Duo was stunned, and couldn't help smiling ironically: "Look, Teng Jimin, on the one hand, was thinking about winning back Brother Yuxuan's heart, and on the other hand, he didn't delay making a man with his wife."

Xia Wan didn't take it seriously: "They are a legal couple with a certificate. What are he and Wei Yuxuan? If Wei Yuxuan was a woman, it would be a good story. It makes people regret that lovers can't get married. But he He is a man, and he shouldn't interfere in other people's normal family life."

Xia Duo gently shook the wine glass, watched the ruby-red liquid slide down the transparent glass wall, and said flatly: "This matter has nothing to do with gender. Teng Jimin is not loyal to his relationship, but no one is stopping him from marrying a wife." Brother Yuxuan didn't intend to be a third person in someone else's family to have a child. But what makes people feel disgusting is that Teng Jimin wants to have a normal family life in the eyes of others, but he doesn't want to let go of Brother Yuxuan. Put Brother Yuxuan on the level of being disrespected, do you still want Brother Yuxuan to be self-deprecating and self-deprecating to fulfill his selfishness?"

Xia Wan said: "You and Wei Yuxuan have a good friendship, so of course you can speak for him. But if others comment on this matter, nine and a half out of ten will say that Wei Yuxuan is not good..."

"Just because he fell in love with the same sex as a man." Xia Duo sneered.

Xia Wan said: "You have emotions, don't talk about it."

Xia Duo was silent for a while, then smiled: "Well, I probably drank a little wine today, and I can't manage my emotions well. I need to practice more. Where is this wine produced?"

Seeing Xia Duo restrain his temper and change the subject so obediently, it made Xia Wan feel guilty instead. "Duoduo, I don't mind if you quarrel with me. I'm your brother. If you can't feel at ease in front of me, wouldn't it be too bitter?"

"Hehe, why should I be at odds with you? It's normal to have different ideas, and brothers can't force each other to be consistent with themselves in everything." Xia Duo said gently.

"Duo Duo, I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this."

Xia Duo gave Xia Wan a strange look, and said, "Brother, do you feel bad whether I lose my temper or not?"

Xia Wan was dumbfounded, secretly blaming himself for finding the wrong topic.But he knew that what made him feel uncomfortable was not Xia Duo's reaction on this matter at all, but because the two brothers really had differences in concepts and principles, and he felt alienated from his younger brother.

"Brother, how are you doing in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"It's not much different from other agencies." Xia Wan answered absent-mindedly, and then he realized that he had messed up the topic again.Damn, I've been being stupid all day!

"Brother, I want to open a security company in Shenzhen, you give it to the staff?" Fortunately, Xia Duo immediately brought up another topic, which immediately attracted Xia Wan's attention.

"Security company? I remember that there is a security service company in Shekou, which is run by their Public Security Bureau." Xia Wan was talking about the Shekou Security Service Company, which was also the first security service company in China.

"Yes, security protection. In fact, the business should be similar. But I hope that in addition to general security work, an intelligence department will be set up to conduct investigations on commercial intelligence. There should be many companies that want such services."

Xia Wan was startled: "A commercial spy?"

Now the concept of competitive intelligence is gradually entering the country, and the framework of competitive intelligence systems is gradually being established in some large enterprises, but there is no real and complete system in this regard.However, methods such as bribing insiders of rival companies to steal secrets emerge in endlessly in shopping malls, and some behaviors have reached the limit of violating national laws.The "Anti-Unfair Competition Law" just issued a few months ago has provisions against such behavior. Xia Duo said that a special intelligence department should be set up to collect business intelligence. Speaking of it on the table, it's no wonder Xia Wan was surprised.

Xia Duo smiled and said: "It's not what you think. You see, everyone knows that in business, you need to know yourself and your enemy. If a company's information is always one step ahead, it will often be able to occupy the forefront of the industry. But how to do it? How about knowing yourself and the enemy? Do you rely on the time spent by the company’s leadership and old employees in this industry? Their connections? Or various inquiries about competitors? But these are all superficial and completely based on personal vision and thinking Depth, and the information may be narrow, and the collection and analysis of information is not scientific. If someone can sort out the information they need—not that he wants to know the specific plan of the opponent, we will send someone to him Stealing, of course not. Instead, through the collection, cross-certification, and comparison of similar information between enterprises and domestic counterparts and foreign countries, and through professional analysis and judgment to draw conclusions, it is a long-term directional tracking of enterprises to help them carry out strategies Support for decision-making. This kind of intelligence may not be immediately effective, and it will be effective in one case, but it will definitely be beneficial to the long-term development of the enterprise.”

Xia Wan thought for a while, and felt that what Xia Duo said was feasible, "But it also requires a lot of manpower to collect information, and finally professionals are needed to summarize and analyze the information. If a person has this kind of vision, he must be with you Is he doing intelligence analysis in his company? I think he can sneak into the decision-making level in any company he joins."

Xia Duo smiled: "There are specializations in the technology industry, and ordinary companies may not have suitable departments to do this kind of work. And some information is collected a lot, um, maybe it can be connected with the analysis work of venture capital in the future. As for what you said about the need for a large number of people to collect information, hehe, this is not necessarily difficult. After all, some people will say anything as long as you give them some favors, and even those who have no sense of confidentiality at all may only need to A few kind words and a pack of cigarettes will get him to tell all he knows."

Xia Wan rubbed his chin, "Why is it opened in Shenzhen?"

"I'm currently running between Yunbian and Shenzhen. If I open it in other places, I'm afraid I'll be too busy. Besides, I plan to start this company with Brother Nan. I'm relieved to have him watching over me."

Xia Wan said: "Since you asked my opinion on this matter, let me think about it carefully, and I will ask more about the situation. Don't be too hasty to get on the horse."

Xia Duo said: "I know that intelligence departments can take their time and do security first. I think the employees that need to be recruited in this regard are mainly veterans. One is that they are highly disciplined and easy to train, and the other is considered Contribute to the army."

Xia Wan pointed at him and smiled: "You boy, do you want to take this opportunity to get a few more military orders?"

Xia Duo also smiled: "It's the best of both worlds."

Xia Wan said: "Okay, I'll have dinner with Director Tie, and then you can have a good talk."

In this aspect of the relationship, Xia Wan can still play around, Xia Duo originally intended this, so there is nothing to be hypocritical about.The two brothers chatted for a long time, and erased the grievances just now, and then they each washed and rested.

Xia Wan felt that he was still an irreplaceable solid backing for his younger brother, and he was satisfied.

Xia Duo called Mo Bei before going to bed, made a thought report, and brought up the little problem with his mother and elder brother to act like a baby. Sure enough, he got Mo Bei's sympathy and comfort, and promised to wait for him to go home How about later.The last goodnight kiss ended the call, and Xia Duo fell asleep happily.
