Arty Records

On the way home, young master Hong saw that the father and son's expressions were very bad, and wanted to speak a few times, but he held back under the hint of Fang Sishen's eyes.He knew that the father-in-law had a knot in his heart, and it was not so easy to get rid of it. If he wanted to be a family, he had to withstand a protracted battle.I didn't ask anything at all, and delivered it to my door dutifully.

The vicissitudes and vicissitudes of the old man's face, full of tears, always appeared in front of his eyes, and Fang Sishen seemed to have a thread in his heart, which pulled and ached.But when I got home, I saw my father standing on the balcony without saying a word, next to the fruit tree, motionless, saying "Dad", and the rest of the words could not be uttered no matter what.

For He Weisi, who lost his dear one, it is a lifelong regret not to see people when he is alive, and not to see a corpse when he dies, but for Fang Duzhi, Fang Sishen knows very well what it means to lose his last sustenance.

The affection and pain that have been forged over the years have accumulated and precipitated, and every step is an ulterior helplessness and despair.

Walk and walk again, separate from the king.

Stay together, sorrow and die.

Fang Sishen's eyes ached with astringency, but the tears could not flow down.I stayed silently in the living room for a while, then got up and made some simple dinner.When he came out of the room before going to bed, his father was standing on the balcony again.Hearing the noise, he turned around and said to his son, "Xiao Si, go to bed early."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to bed right now. I have a meeting tomorrow morning." Fang Duzhi put his hands behind his back and slowly walked into the bedroom without seeing anything unusual.

After a few days, Fang's father and son met He Weisi and He Shenwei again.This time, the atmosphere is much better. Looking back on the present and looking back at the past, we communicated in depth. Those parts that were too tragic, sighed at each other, and the point was over.

In the next two months, Fang Duzhi walked around with the He family again, but did not tell his son.

In the blink of an eye, it was late June, and Fang Sishen was staying at the school on this day. Deputy Director Fang called Hong Xinyao and asked him to come and sit at home.

It just so happened that Young Master Hong had just returned to Beijing from home the day before, and Master Taishan summoned him, so how dare he not obey.Thinking about it, this is the first official home visit since I confessed my personal relationship. I collected a painting temporarily, prepared two gift boxes of health care products, and asked the secretary to pack them before looking in the mirror, stretching my clothes, respectfully coming.

The personal life secretary assigned to the director had already been in place. Fang Duzhi didn't want to bring him home, so he arranged for him to study for a part-time degree in the Humanities College. It was the best of both worlds.However, the work is getting more and more busy, and I really can't have no one to do the housework, so I contacted the housekeeping company and hired an honest-looking nanny.

After taking the tea made by the nanny, Fang Duzhi said: "We are talking upstairs, so I don't ask you not to come up."

Hong Xinyao hurriedly followed and entered the small living room on the second floor facing the stairwell.With the door open, sitting in the room and talking quietly, there is no danger of eavesdropping.

"Uncle, this Ou Pinfan's painting was brought over to your new house, that one, to fill up the wall." Married to a cultural person, Young Master Hong has been working hard to learn to be literate all the time.It's a pity that only three sentences reveal the nature of the nouveau riche, "Don't think it's worthless right now, it will rise sharply within half a year. The gold award in the Chinese painting category of the 'Suxin Award', which is judged every three years, has been pre-determined to be this Ou When the results of the awards are announced next month, the value will definitely be different immediately."

The "Suxin Award" is the highest award in the art world named after Hai Suxin, a master of modern art.Although Fang Duzhi is not engaged in this business, he has heard of it.As soon as he reached out his hand, Young Master Hong held the painting in front of him very dog-leggedly, and unpacked it.

It is a framed sketch of flowers and birds, "Picture of Wu Bird and Ziwei", which means that the phoenix lives on the Wu, Ziwei stars are shining, and the omen is extremely good.The pen and ink imitate the style of Yuan and Ming Dynasties, elegant and diluted, so as to depict the vulgar theme with a bit of clarity, which is very suitable for hanging in the study.

Deputy Director Fang couldn't help but look at Young Master Hong with admiration again.It is one thing to be willing to work hard and use your brains. To be able to use your time and brains to ideas, you must not only be motivated, but also talented.

Nodding calmly: "This painting is not bad, you have a heart."

Hong Xinyao's face was full of light, and he said in a heroic tone: "If you say it's good, then it must be good. I still have two paintings by the surname Ou, and I'll look at this one better."

The two chatted a few words about sincere chores and the market of art investment, and Fang Duzhi picked up the cup to drink tea.First Young Master Hong knew that this was about to get down to business, so he sat upright, pretending to be a disciple waiting to be taught.

"Xiao Yao."

"Ah?" Hong Xinyao responded subconsciously, and then was pleasantly surprised.Ever since I knelt down that night, I haven't heard my father-in-law address me so affectionately for a long time.

"That's right. Price University has a project to promote exchanges between the East and the West, which is specifically aimed at young scholars. This year, their Institute of Oriental Studies gave us a place in the School of Advanced Humanities, and designated a lecturer on the study of ancient Xia language. I think, let Xiaosi go."

Hong Xinyao thought he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

Fang Duzhi slowed down and understood every word clearly: "I said, this year's Young Scholars Exchange Program at Price University, I want Xiaosi to pass."

Young Master Hong wishfully interpreted it as a meeting, every three or five days or so, and felt that it couldn't be so simple, so he asked in a shivering voice, "How long...how long?"

"Two years."

After the words fell, Hong Xinyao stood up abruptly, stared at the other party for a while, suppressed her anger forcefully, and sat down again.Gritting his teeth, he asked, "You already told my brother about this?"

"Not yet. I think I'll tell you first."

Deputy Director Fang's calm and calm attitude reminded Young Master Hong to use his full power to turn his head and calm down.

"Uncle, you really treat me as your own when you say that. Thank you in advance."

Fang Duzhi expressed his relief: "It's good that you have no objection."

Hong Xinyao raised his eyebrows: "Then what if I have an opinion?"

Fang Duzhi looked at him in surprise: "Do you have an opinion? What's your opinion? The opportunity is rare, and the most important thing is that the timing is just right. Two years is not a long time. Coming back from Citigroup will be of great benefit to Xiaosi's development." It’s harmless.” He sighed earnestly, “I’ve left my position as the dean of the School of Humanities, so it’s impossible to take care of me more. He has an overseas education background, so he’s not easy to be squeezed out. I don’t ask him how to get ahead, It has to be enough to protect yourself."

It sounded very reasonable, but Hong Dashao had a buffer, and after thinking about it, the old man used this high-sounding reason to block his mouth, and what he did secretly was obviously a crooked idea to beat the mandarin duck.On the opposite side, the personable and personable Deputy Director Fang immediately became the bald donkey of Fahai flooding the golden mountains, and the queen mother and godmother of the Milky Way.

Then I heard Fang Duzhi say again: "I mentioned something to the He family, they are willing to provide convenience for Xiaosi's life there. In addition, we have maintained a good relationship with Prius in the past few years. Xiaosi will go, don't worry No one cares about it." Most importantly, according to reliable sources, that foreign devil Weideli and his lover have reached the stage of discussing marriage.Of course, there is no need to say this.

Young Master Hong thought to himself: Wow!This conspiracy is obviously not a day or two.I'm afraid that if he confessed on his side, he would think about how to separate us from the other side.This trick is really poisonous.

His eyes were gloomy and sharp: "What if my brother doesn't like it?"

Fang Duzhi looked at him like an idiot: "Why do you think I should tell you first?"

After all, Jiang is old and hot, Hong Dashao was blinded by Deputy Director Fang's indifferent attitude, and said casually: "Why?"

Fang Duzhi snorted softly: "You've known Xiaosi for so long, when did you see him make plans for you? What's going on now, don't say you don't know how unhappy he was at the Capital University. Now come directly to Humanities The college is in the midst of the turmoil, and there is no guarantee that there will be no flies and mosquitoes with no brains to entangle him. It is better to go out and relax. You know Xiaosi's personality very well. Even if it is a matter of future, in his heart, it may not be It can be regarded as a matter of principle. Even if he wants to go again," he paused, feeling extremely unwilling, "If...you must object, he may not insist. If you are sincerely for his own good, think about it for him in the long run."

Hong Xinyao looked at the disaffected old man, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle, believe it or not, if I told my brother that my uncle is getting old and I'm left alone at home, it's so pitiful.— —He will definitely not go, and he will definitely not blame me."

"You!" Fang Duzhi was so angry that he almost picked up the frame at hand and took a picture of it.

Panting for two breaths, pointing at Hong Xinyao: "Do you think I came out thinking of this to break up you?"

Mr. Hong remained silent, the expression on his face was more vivid than his words.

Fang Duzhi sneered: "I still think you have a lot of brains-let me ask you, last time you said you talked to your father, how did the talk go?"

Young Master Hong didn't expect his father-in-law to be by surprise, when he asked about this, he was slightly taken aback, and immediately said: "It's almost there."

Fang Duzhi was very angry: "What do you mean almost?"

Hong Xinyao didn't dare to ignore it, and became serious: "Uncle, I want to tell you that everything is settled, it's a lie. It's unrealistic to give you a guarantee. It's really the same," stretched out his thumb and index finger, He gestured exaggeratedly, "It's just a little short, it's really not much. I think it's just a little short, nothing else, it depends on grinding. When I went back in April, the old man only threw me two words:' Besides.'Since then, I haven't mentioned it at all. You are so predictable, my father's plan is indeed a plan to slow down the army. But anyway, at least there is no direct objection, right? "

First Young Master Hong raised an eyebrow: "Actually, it's just a question of who is in charge of the family. When I am in charge of the family, how can I let him take care of the pillow."

Fang Duzhi disdainfully said, "It won't be too late to say such big things when you really become the master of the house."

Hong Xinyao was eager to confess, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, when did I lie in front of you? I don't need to tell you that you understand that the closure of small kiln mines and the reorganization of the entire Wujin industry will destroy many people's jobs, and how many troubles will be involved? But I can't stand it coming fiercely, and my arms can't twist my thighs, so I have to cooperate with the government. My dad is not willing, and there is no way, so he talked for a few days, but the talks didn't work out. Put the fire on, it is obvious that this trick is the success of the head of state's re-election, and the first big fire will be burned. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the superiors crossed the river and demolished the bridge, fell into trouble, and played a cruel trick on our Hong family. A few small bosses instigated workers to make trouble. The state capital was very annoyed. Passed the word over, and then started the negotiation again..."

As a result, the government has a good impression of the second generation of the Hong family, thinking that young people are advanced in thinking, open-minded, flexible, and focus on the overall situation, unlike the older generation who are stubborn and conservative, narrow-minded and selfish.Gradually, he preferred that his son replace Lao Tzu to take charge of the Hejin branch of the state-owned Jinxi Mining Group Co., Ltd.Of course, due to the thorough reform of the system, with all kinds of restraints set up during it, it is impossible for the Hong family to be the local emperor of Hejin as before.

After Hong Xinyao finished speaking, he looked at the old man eagerly.Fang Duzhi asked: "So, are you running on both sides now?"

"Half and half. I guarantee that this is only temporary. When the situation stabilizes, I will find a suitable person to take the top. At that time, I will focus on Jingli Zhenxintang."

"Wait for the situation to stabilize? How long?"

Hong Xinyao thought about the government's timetable, and told the truth: "The shortest...will be two or three years."

Fang Duzhi looked at him: "You understand now? Why did I let Xiaosi go out for two years."

"But……"

Fang Duzhi interrupted mercilessly: "But what? You don't have time to take care of yourself, how can you have time to take care of him? You want to be the master of the house, have you ever thought that if you are not careful, it will affect him? It’s okay if you don’t graduate now, but when you graduate next year, no one with a heart can see the problem? You also know that industry reorganization will destroy people’s jobs. Guard against it?"

Hong Xinyao didn't think about these problems.When I was thinking about it, I always subconsciously thought about it as a fluke, and I always felt that there was a way to solve it. At this time, I was pressed step by step by my father-in-law, but I couldn't say a word of rebuttal.After a while, with his head drooping, like an eggplant beaten by frost and a rooster defeated in a fight, he murmured, "You let him go so far...for so long...are you willing?"

Fang Duzhi was silent for a while, and said, "I am willing. Because I know what is best for him."

"Leave him alone...outside...you don't worry?"

"I know my own son, there is nothing to worry about."

Hong Xinyao knew in his heart that it might be impossible to refute the other party logically.Immediately felt infinitely sad and wronged, relying on being a little younger, he flicked his face, and started to play tricks, but he still remembered to lower his voice and shout: "I can't bear it! I don't worry about it! You just want to break us up on purpose! You know it well It's been hard for us... It's been hard for us to be safe, and you're going to get him away..." The more you talk, the more sad you become, beating your chest and yelling, "I don't agree! I don't agree! You can't succeed! You see, he listens to you Still listen to me!..."

These words immediately made Fang Duzhi's blood dripping down, his face was cold, and his tone was serious: "Hong Xinyao, you understand, why are you reluctant? Now you are dragging him down, not him dragging you down, why do you want him to do it for you?" Sacrifice the future? He has his academic career, the pursuit of ideals. You are Ujin who dug into mountains and sells piles of antiques. What is the use to him? Are you ashamed to say that you are reluctant? To put it bluntly, it is just to make yourself happy for a while. Relying on his kindness and soft heart, he is easy to bully!"

Young Master Hong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but before he could speak, the next round of saliva came again.

"Besides, what right do you have to be worried about? Who are you worried about? Is it him or yourself?" Fang Duzhi squinted at him, "I often walk by the river, so there's no way your shoes don't get wet. Who do you deal with all day long? You know in your own heart what places you go in and out of. Compared with you, who is more incapable of reassuring others? Tell me about it, huh? Xiaosi is simple, even if he knows it, he is pure if he doesn’t see it. In fact, he can How clean it is, you know it in your own mind. It doesn't look like anything now, I'm afraid, if you continue to communicate, sooner or later, you will break his heart..."

Young Master Hong shook his head like a rattle: "I won't, I swear..."

"Even if you don't know how to do it, do you play tricks every now and then? Do you go along with the flow? What kind of temper is Xiao Si? Don't say you don't know. He didn't see it. Can you guarantee that he will never see it? How much do you think he can tolerate? how long?"

This is a historical problem.Fang Duzhi didn't wait for Hong Xinyao to defend, knocked on the table and said proudly: "Master Hong, unless you have the ability to mess around to the point where you don't need to socialize with others, you are qualified and possible. Talk to my son about whether to let go or not." Reassuring question."

When Hong Xinyao came out of Fang's house, he was very depressed.It was only halfway through that he figured out that Fang Duzhi insisted on sending Fang Sishen out at this time, probably because he was about to be promoted to director in the second half of the year, and it was likely that he would burn several fires such as smashing people's jobs.He punched the steering wheel, and the car horn screamed "beep--", secretly hating himself for not reacting at that time.But if you think about it for a while, so what if you react?It's just adding arguments and weight for the other party.

I didn't sleep well all night, and on the next Friday, knowing that Fang Sishen had no class, I made an appointment early in the morning to pick him up in the afternoon.

Arriving at Jingshi University in a pinch, the car was parked on Bookstore Street, suddenly I didn't want to wait, and walked into the campus.It was the time when the graduation season was coming to an end, and there was a lot of noise and chaos everywhere.Old students on the playground are running a flea market, and the last job fair for fresh graduates is being held in the gymnasium.Many students from other schools also mixed in in order to get more interview opportunities.

Hong Xinyao called Fang Sishen when he walked downstairs to the doctor. He only said to see you at the old place, and then hid in the shade behind the flower bed and waited.Seeing him coming out of the building door in a hurry, he opened his mouth, but made no sound.I don't know what kind of emotion it is in my heart, so I just follow behind so far.

When I followed outside the crowded gymnasium, I almost lost it.After walking quickly for a while, he realized that he was dragged to a place with few people on the opposite side.Young Master Hong had good eyesight, and he recognized this person as the so-called brother-in-law's boss, the one surnamed Nie.Standing patiently and watching from a distance for a while, just when he couldn't help but explode, Fang Sishen finally got rid of the other party and continued to walk forward.

Unexpectedly, before taking a few steps, Jiang Caiyun stopped him.Fang Sishen took out his mobile phone to check the time, sent a text message, and followed the girl to a further place.

Hong Xinyao glanced at the phone screen: "I have something to do, soon, wait a minute." Looking up at the two people who were talking, the sour soup and bitter water gushed up from their stomachs, and their mouths were full.
