Year after year

Taking advantage of Bai Qiu's inattention, Ying Hengnian slipped to the balcony outside the hall.

According to the old customs in Tongchuan, the old people have to celebrate every nine times when they pass [-]. Tomorrow it is called "Festival", but it actually means "Passing Tribulation".

Mr. Ying is 81 this year. As a prominent figure of the older generation in the upper class of Tongchuan, this card cannot be ignored.As early as the beginning of the year, Ying Yinghao, the eldest son of Ying, made an appointment at the No. [-] mansion, and then prepared diligently for half a year before the present grand birthday banquet.

Ying Hengnian closed the door, behind him was a crowd of noisy blessings.It was finally quiet, Ying Hengnian walked to the edge of the balcony, looking at the river aimlessly.

The heavy dark clouds in the sky covered the moon, as if they were going to cover the brightly lit main city on the other side.The colorful lights cast on the surface of the river, reflecting the sparkling water of the river.Accompanied by the sound of crashing waves, the slightly fishy river wind blows towards us.The evening breeze is gentle, with a bit of daytime warmth during the period.Ying Hengnian didn't care about the hair flying around his ears, slowly exhaled the turbid air in his heart, and continued to be in a daze.

I don't know if Lin Yu is busy or not.

Today is Friday, business should be good, right?Did Xiao Xun come here alone in the lobby?In a daze, Ying Hengnian had the urge to drive immediately to support Lin Yu - no one would find out anyway, he thought, I'm not bad in the first place.

"Are you hiding here?" Ying Heng'an pushed open the glass door of the balcony. He searched for Ying Heng for a long time, and he was finally caught.Looking at his younger brother's unrestrained and unrestrained back, Ying Hengnian's teasing words were actually a little bit envious: "You really have nothing to do with yourself, and hang on high."

"I have no power or power, so how can I have my position?" Ying Hengnian didn't look back, and continued to stare at the river, jokingly said to Ying Hengan, "How can you be so precious?"

"Stop disgusting me! I've heard enough rainbow farts today." Ying Heng'an stood beside Ying Hengnian, leaning back against the railing, "Go in when you're almost there, there are still people waiting for you inside—maybe Are you standing here forever?"

"I really want to." Ying Hengnian turned his head and smiled, "Do you agree?"

"Don't tell me that you really volunteered to devote yourself to the service industry. Even if it is true, your face is too condescending. I will go to A Sui to tell you tomorrow, and I will open a table for you in the only one, and be a young master. How about a commission of thirty-seven?" Ying Hengnian took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it on, "My aunt just came back, so I don't know yet."

"Then what can I do at the headquarters?" Ying Hengnian asked lazily, "Lead your assistant to rank up?"

"Yo, are you still losing your temper?" Ying Heng'an understood. Some people say they don't care, but they are actually more careful than anyone else. "I can't help it, the old man hand-picked it."

"Grandpa?" Ying Hengnian asked incredulously, "Just that idiot?"

"Last quarter, the profit of the straw bag belt project accounted for [-]% of the company's total." Ying Hengnian lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Just one project."

"Did it exceed expectations?" Ying Hengnian thought for a while calmly, "The plan given by the investment department was not that high."

It doesn't look so depressed.After confirming that Ying Hengnian did not let himself go, Ying Hengan said with confidence: "Indeed, this grandson has started a side job."

Ying Hengnian frowned: "Touch the wire?"

"That's not the case, he doesn't have the guts." Ying Heng'an flicked the ashes, "Grey industries, there are only a few items. As long as the amount is controllable, it's nothing - I'm afraid he will play it off." It's not good to hurt the family. up.

"He doesn't have that self-knowledge." Ying Hengnian recalled the feedback from the report he read last night, and guessed a bit, "Can't make up?"

"Yeah." Ying Heng'an nodded, and after taking his last puff of cigarette, he reminded, "You should come back early to take over, because you will be busy then."

"There's no rush." ​​Ying Hengnian didn't take the trap, and quickly refused, "Grandpa didn't push him because he can make money."

"I want to touch her too." Ying Hengan extinguished the cigarette butt, and replied slowly, "The old man protects her tightly. If you touch her, you will be noticed."

"It's enough to get rid of the root, and the tree will grow up." Ying Hengnian bumped Ying Heng'an with his shoulder, "Ying's family is not the only decision-maker."

Ying Heng'an didn't answer, he lowered his head, his eyes dim.

"As for the project in the hands of the idiot, isn't the contract about to expire?" Ying Hengnian stretched his waist and stopped the topic, "Don't worry about it, the weather has changed, let's go into the house."

Ying Hengnian followed Bai Qiu to see off the last group of guests before being officially allowed to leave by Bai Qiu.

"Then I'm leaving." Ying Hengnian took off his coat and said to Bai Qiu, "Don't go to the headquarters so late."

"Understood, children don't care about adults' affairs." Bai Qiu had to go to the headquarters to look at the new product data. This matter should not be careless, but she knew that her son did it out of concern, and did not refute Ying Hengnian's suggestion. Face, "It's you, haven't you had any problems recently?"

"What's wrong with me?" Ying Hengnian put on his windbreaker and smiled at Bai Qiu, "Eat well, sleep well, work and rest regularly, mom, you don't have to worry about it."

Right now, Bai Qiu's focus is on data, and he doesn't have time to chatter about Ying Hengnian any longer.Ying Hengnian happily knelt down, hummed a little tune and entered the elevator to the underground garage.

"Ding--"

The elevator door opened, and Ying Hengnian was about to press the car key to find the car, but saw a person who displeased him.

Guo Ze.

Ying Hengnian, who had been socializing for a day, was not in the mood to communicate with the idiot. Seeing that Guo Ze hadn't noticed him, Ying Hengnian simply stood behind the load-bearing pillar and waited for the substitute driver with peace of mind.

Guo Ze seemed to be admonishing people, his sharp voice echoed in the empty underground parking lot, and finally dispersed into a buzzing noise.Ying Hengnian hid a lot of alcohol today, but he was also half-drunk. Now that he bumped into this annoying buzzing sound, his mind became more dizzy and irritable.

Really noisy.

Ying Hengnian turned his head to take a look, and Guo Ze in the distance turned his back to him, chattering with his hands up.There were two trainees, one was blocked by a car and Ying Hengnian couldn't see it.There is another one who is quite ugly, with a pair of triangular eyes drooping miserably, and is obedient to the training.

Ying Hengnian snorted coldly, raised his hand and loosened his neckline, silently waiting for the surrogate driver who came late.

"Go, even if you turn Tong Chuan over, you have to find it!" Guo Ze sprayed his face with saliva, "Where can a few living people go? Find it!"

The subordinates nodded submissively, not daring to say anything.But this can't appease Guo Ze's anger. If things come to light, he will never be able to walk around, even if he doesn't die, he will have to peel off his skin.

"Do you understand everything?" Guo Ze clenched his fists, the veins on his neck swelled, "Hurry up!"

The two men ran away without stopping.

Damn it, it doesn't work at all.Guo Ze gritted his teeth, trying not to lose his composure.

I can prove myself.he thinks.

The car lights were turned on in the depths of the garage, and Guo Ze didn't notice that his eyes were flashed.A dark sports car slid past him, bringing out a gust of wind.

"Damn it, do you know how to drive!" Guo Ze was so frightened that he staggered and fell directly on the car door behind him, cursing, "Go to the funeral!"

The sports car left in the dust, and disappeared at the exit with a flick.

"Good morning, Ayu." Ying Hengnian woke up early, and when he arrived at Heye, just as Lin Yu had just returned from shopping for groceries, he stepped forward to carry the bag for Lin Yu and asked, "Are you busy yesterday?" ?”

"It's okay." Lin Yu said as he walked with the green chili peppers, "They're all here for a light meal, hey, why are you so early today?"

"I wasn't here yesterday." Ying Hengnian stopped and waited for Lin Yu to open the door, "Have you finished collecting the tables?"

"No." Lin Yu stood on tiptoe and pushed the rolling door up, "Bao Er is not finished yet."

"Then I'll clean up first." Ying Hengnian stepped forward to help Lin Yu push the sliding door up, turned around and asked with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"

"not yet, what about you?"

"No, I'll buy some later..."

"No, I'll make some noodles. Asparagus shredded pork, do you want to eat?"

"Of course! Then I'll wait."

While Lin Yu was burning the noodles, Ying Hengnian skillfully cleaned Bao Er.

"I'll bring you the noodles. You put the mop and come over and eat." Lin Yu put the noodles on the unpaved table No. [-], and said to Ying Hengnian who was still mopping the floor at the entrance of Bao Er, "Hurry up." , it won’t taste good if it’s lumpy!”

Ying Hengnian said "Come right away", and then turned his head to concentrate on the work at hand.

He carefully swept away the small garbage dragged out of the box, washed the mop and washed his hands, and then calmly came to the table number eight.

There were two bowls of hot noodle soup on the table, and Lin Yu beside the table was reading a newspaper.

Ying Hengnian opened the stool and sat down, smelled the tempting aroma, and boasted: "It smells so good, hey, I'm almost starving to death."

"Then eat quickly." Lin Yu folded the newspaper and put it aside, picked up the chopsticks and asked Ying Hengnian, "By the way, why haven't you brought your health certificate yet? I remember you can get it in a week?"

"I forgot, I should... be at home." Ying Hengnian took a sip of the sweet and hot noodle soup. Secretary Xiao Wang helped him get his health certificate. He didn't know where Xiao Wang put it for him, so he could only promise vaguely , "I——bring it tomorrow. This noodle is so delicious, Ayu, can I come over for breakfast every day?"

"Stop talking nonsense, go to work when you're full." Lin Yu's face became hot inexplicably, ignoring the little joy in his heart, Lin Yu replied, "Come early if you want to eat."

"Is this a promise?"

"Remember to wash your own dishes."

Ying Hengnian happily sucked on the noodles, and nodded his head out of the shadows in excitement.

This Saturday is a bit strange, there is no business at noon.Except for Bao Er, there are only a few small tables scattered in the hall.Lin Yu didn't care too much. He read the newspaper in the morning, and the news said that the city's largest chain hot pot restaurant found waste oil and duplicate pot bottoms.It is certain that this matter will have an impact on the catering industry, and it will be better in two days.

After all, cooking is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention that fewer and fewer people have mastered this skill.

Lin Yu sat boredly at the bar and opened the menu. Just as Bao Er left, there was still a table in the hall for light meals.What do you have for lunch?Lin Yu thought about it, the sweet potato stalks he bought the day before yesterday can be fried, otherwise he will grow old...

"How many people?" Xiao Xun, who was sitting at the table number nine, saw a few people entering the door, and immediately stood up and asked, "Are we together? Is it a private room or..."

"Looking for your boss." The leading man, wearing a pair of sunglasses, interrupted Xiao Xun's words in a bad tone, and asked viciously, "Where's your boss?"

"I'm here." Lin Yu got up and said with a smile, "Come here, what's the matter?"

"Ask someone." The man in sunglasses stepped forward, and Lin Yu immediately smelled a pungent smell of smoke, "Do you know Yu Guodong?"

It was at this time that Ying Hengnian came out of Bao Er, and he immediately saw a few gangsters standing in the hall.

What happened to Lin Yu?

Ying Hengnian's heart tightened, he threw away the mop and strode to the bar.

Lin Yu replied with a smile: "Who? Yu Guodong? How would I know? Didn't he owe a debt and escape?"

The man in sunglasses obviously didn't believe it: "He even came here for dinner a few days ago."

"Really?" Lin Yu didn't answer directly, but named Ying Hengnian, "Xiao Ying, did a short and fat guy come here for dinner two days ago?"

Ying Hengnian understood, pretended to think for a while, and then said hesitantly: "I don't remember, maybe there are? There are so many people coming and going here, I usually don't remember if it's not for paying the bills."

The man with sunglasses saw Ying Hengnian, and suddenly took off his sunglasses.

When Ying Hengnian saw this pair of triangular eyes, he thought they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember them.

"You really don't remember?" The man in the sunglasses looked at Lin Yu again, "I heard that he is your father's good brother."

"My dad has been away for several years." Lin Yu smiled, "He hasn't been here a few times since then."

Probably because he didn't report any hope in the first place, the man in sunglasses put on his sunglasses, gave Lin Yu a business card, left a few words like "If you come to see you, remember to contact me", and left with his younger brothers in a mighty manner. up.

"This is?" Ying Hengnian had never seen such a battle before, scratching his head and asked Lin Yu, "Who are they?"

"The gunman." Lin Yu looked at the business card in his hand, Zhu Yi Loan Co., Ltd., and sneered disdainfully, "It's usury."

"The one who was eating dinner last time?" Ying Hengnian also smiled, "It's a BMW [-] Series."

"Who knows?" Lin Yu shrugged, "But the good news is that he won't be here until the end of the year."

After confirming that Lin Yu was fine, Ying Hengnian went back to the bathroom to wash the mop.

wrong.Ying Hengnian turned off the tap and hung the mop back to its original place.The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong—I must have seen that triangular eye somewhere.

Where is that?
