Rebirth one way to the north

The overall decoration of Liu's study room tends to be steady and deep. When the dark brown solid wood furniture fills the whole room, even the white walls look particularly depressing.Row after row of tomes are displayed on the open bookshelf. Liu Zhengyang doubts whether these books have been read by anyone. He thinks that there is no dust on them because the nanny does a good job of cleaning.A pot of phoenix bananas in the corner probably has an unsuitable climate, and the slightly yellowed leaves look listless, just like Liu Zhengyang.

"Straighten your back, don't look like you have no bones." Liu Renbo's stern voice came from behind the large desk.

Liu Zhengyang subconsciously stood up straight, his eyes habitually avoiding his father's eyes and falling between his lips and nose.

Liu Renbo frowned, staring at his son dissatisfied.The father and son look alike. When Liu Renbo sees his son, he can often think of his youthful years, but what makes him dissatisfied is that what makes his son similar to him when he was young is only his appearance, not his temperament.Liu Renbo had just left the army when he was 25 years old. Since he worked as a secretary for the leader, he has tensed his nerves every day, widened his eyes and raised his ears to receive all the new knowledge he could come into contact with. Use various conspiracy schemes.He lives to the fullest.

However, in Liu Zhengyang, what Liu Renbo saw was emptiness.

"Why are you always like this, not making any progress?" After speaking, Liu Renbo saw Liu Zhengyang's supple and dull face, and didn't know whether his words fell into his heart, or whether they were left in his left ear and out of his right ear. .

Liu Renbo said again: "You are already 25. When I was your age, I had a family and started a business. I really don't want to criticize you anymore. I want to save you some face. But look at yourself, what do you look like? All day idle, not doing business properly."

Liu Zhengyang said softly: "Dad, the company Dong Yuan and I run has performed well in the past two years, and the net profit has reached..."

Liu Renbo waved his hand in front of his face, like waving away an annoying fly, and interrupted his son, "Your company is just a joke, don't think I don't know how you and Xiaoyuan do things outside, heh, In the name of the son of the executive deputy governor's family, who would dare not give you some face? Don't blame your father for speaking badly. Think about it yourself. So smooth?"

Liu Zhengyang licked his lips and said softly: "Luo Yi said that this kind of background is also a kind of resource. Since I have this kind of resource, I would be a fool to give it up. But this kind of background is only to reduce a little resistance for me. It even creates another hurdle sometimes, and that's something I'm going to have to overcome."

Liu Renbo said: "Then have you succeeded in overcoming it? I said you have not. If you really overcame it, what happened to Yunbian? Hmm? Don't tell me that it is for your company's business, your business is foreign trade export , Does it have something to do with the hotel clothing building? If you want me to say, you just had a whim! Isn’t it? Isn’t it?!”

Liu Zhengyang opened his mouth several times but didn't find a chance to speak. He met his father's gaze and glanced with grievance in his eyes.But this look of aggrieved made Liu Renbo feel annoyed, how could a man show such a womanly look?

"I wish I had spent more time educating you when you were young, but it's too late to say anything now, alas. I don't ask for anything else, just don't cause trouble for me. You don't have the brains for politics, so just do business." Well, at least Xiaoyuan can still rein in your horse and chew its head, so I can rest assured. Don't bother about Yunbian anymore, do what you should do, don't make trouble." The more Liu Renbo said, the more frustrated he became.

Liu Zhengyang cleared his throat and spoke louder, "Dad, I have my plan. Can you comment after listening? Actually, I want to expand my business recently and set up a company to do real estate business. I think Now that people’s lives are getting richer, especially in cities, more and more people are buying houses, so you need land to build a house..."

Liu Renbo said: "Talk about the cloud side."

Liu Zhengyang choked for a moment, then arranged and combined his own words in his mind, and then said: "This is what I think. The construction industry in Yunbian is developing and profitable. Gong Xiaobai is now the leader in the construction industry in Yunbian. He has only been in this industry for a short time, but he has developed so fast. Apart from the gangster methods he used, he has to admit that he is very talented in business. Then I thought, if we can win over Gong Xiaobai, I will No one can use my company. Dad, you also know that talents are rare."

Liu Renbo sneered: "Winning talents is just talking about winning talents. Why is Du Yuesheng talking about accepting disciples?"

Liu Zhengyang's eyes fell on a small scratch on the table, and he said in a low voice: "Gong Xiaobai is not an ordinary person, if you want to subdue him, you have to use some extreme methods, the more incomprehensible he is, the better."

Liu Renbo sneered again: "You are really right, Gong Xiaobai is not an ordinary person. Let me tell you, quickly put away your thoughts about him, even though you two are the same age, but you are really not right now. The opponent of this kind of person. Look at how he packs matches and firewood, and then look at how he handles those people from the court of the Industrial, Commercial and Health Bureau. Now, even people from Beijing have come to say hello to me. You Tell me, how powerful is a bastard by the edge of the cloud? You subdue him? Hmph, let's practice for a few more years."

Liu Zhengyang was not convinced: "But, give me some more time..."

Liu Renbo was annoyed and said loudly: "Why can't I tell you clearly? What time is it now? The aftermath of June 4 is not over yet! Do you think that you will be fine if you are far away from Beijing? Do you think that if you withdraw a group of people and arrest a group of people? Is it over? Let me tell you, it's not over! How many pairs of eyes are staring at me! I won't say anything about this deal, anyway, it's under the name of Xiaoyuan, but you want to deal with Gong Xiaobai, how do you deal with it? With Shiba Gouzi This kind of underworld got together?"

Liu Zhengyang corrected: "Dad, there are no gangsters in China, as stated in the constitution."

Liu Renbo slapped the table angrily: "You dare to talk back! You want to toss me down too, right? Liu Zhengyang, I warn you, immediately! Immediately! Stop me! This year, no, next year, in these two or three years , you just wait for me!"

Liu Zhengyang said anxiously: "Dad! I..."

Liu Renbo said angrily: "Be obedient!"

Liu Zhengyang opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be stuck with a rough stone, unable to swallow or spit it out, he could only remain silent.

While the father and son of the Liu family were talking, Mo Bei was lying comfortably on Wei Yuxuan's bed reading a book, and Wei Yuxuan was sitting at the desk writing hard.Looking back at Mo Bei, Wei Yuxuan warned: "It's better to sit up and watch, and be careful not to become myopic."

Mo Bei said: "Jinshi in this world are all short-sighted, come, let's make a couplet."

Wei Yuxuan: "...Are you in a good mood?"

Mo Bei smiled, put down the book in his hand and sat up, grabbed the pillow and hugged him in his arms, and said, "Once Lao Teng made a move, half of my little uncle's troubles were solved. Of course I feel better."

Wei Yuxuan also smiled, and continued to bow his head to write the opening words of this month's magazine.

Mo Bei looked at him for a while, and asked, "You and Lao Teng always live in separate places like this, is it okay?"

Wei Yuxuan said casually: "If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?"

Mo Bei said: "Time and distance are the two major killers of love, long-distance relationships are easy to break up."

Wei Yuxuan stopped writing and thought for a while, and said: "Not necessarily, you see many lovers or couples, they can be together every day, but the relationship is wiped out because of the trivialities of life. The romance is gone. Maybe when they first got together, they could still discuss the artistic conception of a certain poem, go to the movies together, and go for a walk together holding hands, but after a long time, they only open their mouths and keep their mouths shut.

Mo Bei asked: "So you believe that to keep love fresh, you have to keep a certain distance?"

Wei Yuxuan said: "To be honest, this was not my choice, it came here naturally. Including falling in love with him, it is not my choice. If I could choose, I might stay away from him. But one day When I opened my eyes, I found that I had fallen in love with him, and there was nothing I could do. I was in the cloud, and he was in Beijing, and there was nothing I could do. So you can tell me what I believe and what I don’t believe, and I can’t tell. I am now Being so far away from him, I can only think about the benefits of not being together. If I can really live under the same roof with him every day, then what I want to praise is the beauty of getting along day and night. Why do you suddenly think of asking this? "

Mo Bei said: "I suddenly feel that I have cared too little about you recently."

Wei Yuxuan was amused: "Why do you speak like an old man?"

Mo Bei sighed: "Isn't it? Years are like flying knives, knives make people old."

Wei Yuxuan rubbed a ball of paper and threw it on him: "Get lost, you are calling yourself old at such an age, what should I do?"

Mo Bei unfolded the ball of paper, "It has nothing to do with age, it's a matter of mood."

Wei Yuxuan said: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's the problem?"

Mo Bei kept silent and folded a sailboat out of crumpled paper.

Wei Yuxuan said: "What about Xiaobai? You didn't talk about it just now, it's already half resolved. As long as Liu Zhengyang is willing to stop, the rest will be easy to deal with. Chai Gouzi and those people are not Xiaobai's opponents. Let me tell you Xiaobai should have asked Lao Teng to help him a long time ago, and Lao Teng also has a share in their business in Shenzhen, so it is only natural for Xiaobai to help him if he needs help."

Mo Bei said, "I think so too."

Wei Yuxuan said, "Then what are you worried about?"

Mo Bei took the sailboat apart again, broke his heart, and said, "Xia Duo."

Wei Yuxuan was puzzled: "What happened to Xia Duo?"

Mo Bei sighed, and looked up at Wei Yuxuan: "I don't know if I'm thinking too much, I feel, feel... Xia Duo seems to like me."

Wei Yuxuan was even more inexplicable: "Didn't he always like you?" Looking at Mo Bei's wrinkled face, Wei Yuxuan suddenly realized, and immediately stuttered, "No, no, no?"

Mo Bei sighed again, tore that heart apart, and tore the paper into thin strips, "He is still the same as in the past, and the number of times he looks for me is not too frequent, and every time he meets, he is still the same as before. …Holding hands, kissing cheeks, joking, etc… But, that feeling is different, you understand? I knew before that he thought I was small, and we also like to hug and kiss the children we like to express our intimacy ? But now the same action is performed, alas, the nature is different.”

Wei Yuxuan listened blankly, and said: "Xia Duo talked to me before, and asked me to help him confirm whether he likes men. In fact, I knew that I liked men at about his age, but, Speaking of whom, even if he likes someone, shouldn't it be a boy who is older than him or the same age as him? How could it be you?"

Mo Bei was very distressed: "I think so too. That Qiao Yun is actually pretty good, and he still likes him. Why can't Xia Duo be with him?"

Wei Yuxuan first defended Xia Duo: "That can't be because Qiao Yun likes him, he must like Qiao Yun, love is not exchanged." Then he asked with some embarrassment: "What about you? Are you No... well, I think it's ridiculous to ask you such a question."

Mo Bei said with a bitter face, "I am."

Wei Yuxuan held his head and sighed: "How do you children grow up, you know everything at such a young age."

Mo Bei said, "Didn't you also come from a child?"

Wei Yuxuan thought for a long time: "At least I didn't worry about this kind of thing when I was ten years old."

Mo Bei: "Oh."

Wei Yuxuan said: "Then what you are worried about now is whether Xia Duo likes you and you don't like him, or is it because Xia Duo likes you that you are too young?"

Mo Bei was stunned for a while. The former put himself and Xia Duo on an equal footing, ignoring age and other factors, and simply tortured his inner emotions; while the latter pulled himself out to examine a young boy from the perspective of an adult. first love.After being stunned for a while, Mo Bei said, "Maybe it's because I never regarded him as a person who could fall in love, but always regarded him as a child. And I don't know whether he really likes me, or a kind of An illusion of habit."

Wei Yuxuan said: "Many times we can't even see our own feelings clearly, let alone others'. Anyway, you are still so young, even if you are wrong, there is still time to correct it. ——As long as you don't move and say that you are old gone."

Mo Bei crumpled the note and threw it back, Wei Yuxuan caught it, threw it into the wastebasket, and said with a smile: "Let it be, it's useless to worry about some things."

Mo Bei lay down with his pillow in his arms: "That's right, let's be free and enjoy the day."

Wei Yuxuan shook his head: "The more you talk, the more energetic you are, Lao Mo."

Mo Bei: "Hey, old Wei."
