in the center of the universe

Zhuang Baixin finished the manuscript at hand, and had hot pot with his former colleagues to thank her for helping Guose Tianxiang to post the page.

"Internet media also has the advantages of online media. It is new, fast, anytime, anywhere, and print media is transforming to digital. I really think you can try it." A former colleague persuaded her this way.

Zhuang Baixin smiled and said to think again.Chen Jinggang asked her if she continued to talk to Guan Zang, and she seemed to let go of her words, and she was sensitively aware that the wind direction had changed.

The colleague said: "Then you should be happy. If the wind direction really changed, how many people would jump up. You still have a first move."

Zhuang Baixin put down his chopsticks, looked at his colleague's face through the heat of the hot pot, and said, "I just think of two words, 'mouthpiece'. We." The colleague raised his eyebrows, did not answer, drank a glass of wine, ate After a few mouthfuls of food, it took a long time before I spoke.

"Mouthpiece, it's for taste, it's for people to hear, you think you are the heart."

After returning home after dinner, Zhuang Baixin turned on the computer and brought up the folder of Guanda Group.The protagonists she wanted to investigate were never actually Guan Zang, but Guan Jingyuan and his Guan Da.A billionaire who started his business in his [-]s and is in his [-]s, in just over a decade, several mergers and acquisitions that can be called miraculous "snake swallowing elephants" and thunderous tactics have been frequently reported in the newspapers, causing many speculations, all of which have been dismissed.

Zhuang Baixin's interest in him stemmed from an irrelevant entertainment news, a popular actress was revealed to have spent seven hours with a mysterious man in a hotel late at night.The mysterious man is suspected to be Guan Guoliang, the eldest son of the Guanda Group. He also mentioned that Guan Guoliang was not his own, and his inheritance rights are elusive.The Gossip Weekly could not be true, but Guan Jingyuan sued the court in a fit of rage, published an apology and compensation in the newspaper, and instead sparked heated discussions.

Zhuang Baixin took some time to understand Guan Jingyuan and his two marriages, but she got a lot of unexpected gains, urging her to go deeper, go to his hometown to investigate, and gradually piece together a rough portrait of Guan Jingyuan, a private entrepreneur .

"His wife's name is Guan Yi. Before liberation, she was the youngest daughter of a well-known local rich family. If she hadn't been sick, would she be able to marry him?" Local old people who were about the same age heard that "capitalist" was written on his resume, haha Haha laughed for a while. "What kind of capitalist is he? He is the son of the Guan family! He hooked up with the daughter of the family when he was a teenager, and he was almost beaten to death!"

Before Liberation, the Guan family escaped the war and went to Hong Kong. The youngest daughter jumped on the train and went back to find Guan Jingyuan. She also had a miscarriage.The Guan family had no choice, so they simply left her some assets and arranged for her to marry Guan Jingyuan.

"Guan Jingyuan is good at other things. He is good at business. He managed the shop left by his wife's natal family better than before." The old man pointed to himself, "I even worked for their family!" New China A few years after its establishment, it started a public-private partnership. Guan Jingyuan took the lead in the joint venture and replaced herself with a progressive.

Zhuang Baixin asked: "Then for the next ten years...how did he escape?"

The old man laughed: "What are you hiding? People say that he is not an exploiting class capitalist, but an exploited serf! His mother is a maid who was sold to capitalists. He draws a line with real capitalists and takes the lead in criticizing them."

"A real capitalist...doesn't it mean..."

The old man nodded: "That's how his wife's illness happened, but she managed to save her life. At that time... there was nothing to do. It's a pity, I heard that his daughter is not well."

Zhuang Baixin went back to his hometown to visit some old workers who had worked with Guan Jingyuan in the predecessor of Guanda Steel.The unified impression of him is that he said what he said, was decisive and straightforward, and what he wanted to do must be done, even a little unscrupulous.Those who praised him said that under the leadership of him, the efficiency of the steel mill was really high, and the distribution of houses was better than others;The first wife is gone, and you will marry the second wife right away. Isn't it because of her conditions?

The second wife, Sun Lingxian, has a younger brother who is in politics and is now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.When I married Guan Jingyuan, I brought my ex-husband's three children with me. There were rumors that one of them was actually Guan Jingyuan's, and I was waiting for Guan Yi to disappear.

As for Guan Lehua, Guan Jingyuan's biological daughter, everyone except Guan Jingyuan said she was crazy, but no one knew why she was crazy, and no one remembered what she looked like, just like his first wife Guan Yi, As if living in rumors, when I heard her news again, it was that this person had died and had a funeral.

In those few years, the Guan family held three funerals, Guan Yi, and Guan Lehua and his wife.

Speaking of Guan Lehua's husband, those old workers were complaining to him, saying that such an honest man was accidentally stabbed to death by his crazy wife, and the law can't do anything to her.

"The children in that family are suffering. I grew up with a crazy mother. Is it okay? His father died at home and the house stinks. The children don't know. They thought they were on a business trip and lived with the corpse for more than ten days through the door. !"

After a night of sleep, I avoided the morning rush hour the next day and drove on the road again.Yan Keji turned on the stereo and played dance music, saying that he was afraid of being trapped in Guanzang, so he sang along to the side, singing very happily.Guan Zang was not sleepy just by looking at him.

From morning to afternoon, passing by a rest area, the scenery becomes different, and the accent is also different.He turned off the dance music, looked out the car window, and asked Guan Zang, "Is it almost here?"

"Well, another half an hour."

"Hey, Teacher Guan, the sea here is not freezing, right?" He was looking forward to it, "Can you see the sea where you are going?"

"Maybe you can't see it from the window, but you can walk to the beach. Has Keji never seen the sea?"

"I've never seen it before. I can't even swim." As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and asked, "Can you?"

"Yes, Uncle Ma took me to the swimming pool to learn."

"Not to mention anything else, your Uncle Ma really loves your mother very much. He is almost fifty and still lives alone. He always treats you like his own son--next time I will be less angry with him."

Guan Zang grinned and said, "Mom, Alice, and Uncle Ma are the people I care about the most. Although I always make Uncle Ma angry recently, I still love him very much. Now I have to add Keji , and Meimei."

He propped his head and looked at Guan Zang for a while, then replied: "Guan Zang, you must know that liking me and being liked by me are both unsafe things. There will never be any good gatherings or breakups with me. .The day I want to leave, no one can stop me."

Guan Zang slightly tilted his head, expressing his understanding.

"But Keji can't stop me."

He rubbed his curly hair and smacked his lips, "That's right, what's the use of me telling a pervert?"

Guan Zang laughed out loud.

In less than an hour, we drove to the place. The two-story villa in the 90s was built in the early days of reform and opening up, and it still has a European style, but the interior is decorated in a real Chinese style, which is a bit nondescript.It looks old and old now, and it is very small. It is far away from the urban area, and it is not comparable to a high-end apartment, but it was a fashionable thing back then. It is not cadres and rich people, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Although there was dust in the room, but not much, Guan Zang went to check the electricity and water meters, and came back and said, "Uncle Ma has cleaned it up this year." After speaking, he took him upstairs and downstairs, and the room was small but long. It’s all the same, it’s installed like a guest house, the bathroom is still squatting, and the old-fashioned gas water heater for bathing can see small flames when it is turned on.

"Although it's not broken, it needs to be replaced. No one has come to live in it, so I just left it that way." Guan Zang took out a clean sheet from the car and changed it. He found the electric heater in the storage room and plugged it in. , let him keep warm, went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of instant noodles, a bowl of hot soup and a bowl of cold salad, and the two sat on the sofa to eat.

"Was Alice born here?"

"Well, I was born two months prematurely, and my mother was not in good condition at the time, and she didn't have time to rush to the hospital. But later, due to physical reasons, she almost died, so the mother and daughter went to the hospital, and Uncle Ma followed him for a long time."

"Why is Alice called Alice? Can this name be registered?"

Guan Zang shook his head: "Yes, yes, but Alice has no household registration. The reason why she is called Alice is because Uncle Ma once said that her mother is like Alice, and secondly, because she has foreign blood."
