"Are you serious? No kidding?"
After receiving my call, Aze seemed a little surprised, and then he was silent for a few seconds: "Why did you call and tell me?"
"Because you are my friend. Best friend." I told him slowly: "Besides, I can't discuss it with others. I can only tell you and listen to your thoughts."
"Where are you now?" Aze seemed a little depressed on the phone.
"Airport." I glanced at the clock in the distance: "My plane will take off in about half an hour."
"Damn! That means you've already made a decision. The call to me is not to discuss, but just to tell me?" Aze smiled helplessly. Although he couldn't see him on the phone, I guess he must be Scratching hard: "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to tell Fang Nan? And what about Qiao Qiao? Should I tell her? Oh my god! You won't let me tell other people the news Right? Damn it! If I tell Jojo this news, I’m afraid Jojo will be the first to strangle me... I don’t want to be this kind of crow delivering bad news!”
"Watch your words, brother." I reminded him: "I'm getting married, it's not bad news!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Aze said angrily: "If you have the ability, you can send a happy post to Qiaoqiao yourself? Let's see if Miss Qiao will tear you up!" After a pause, Aze asked in a serious tone : "How long did it take to say goodbye from the hospital? You decided to marry Yan Di in such a short period of time? Have you thought about the consequences? Have you thought about what other people will do? Have you thought about Qiao Qiao, Have you ever thought about Fang Nan?"
I took the phone and was silent for a while. I stood in the VIP waiting room of the airport, and suddenly felt a little irritable, then I walked to the side and took out a cigarette to smoke, and said in a deep voice to the phone: "Ah Ze, trust me, make this decision, it's good for me It was very difficult to say! Really, it was really difficult to make this decision!"
"So what prompted such a decision?" Ze sighed.
"It's the angle of thinking about the problem." I replied: "I understand that sooner or later I have to make a decision... Among these few women, I have to marry one!! This kind of choice is something I have to face sooner or later. But before this, I have always only considered from my own point of view. I think about who I love and who I don’t love... Well, no, no... It should be who I love more, or I have always wanted to do it Know which one I like the most. Then I can make a choice... But this is too difficult. Love is not something like buying Chinese cabbage, which can be divided into a few catties and a few taels of weight-this kind of thing There is no difference of weight! I can’t tell the difference! Love is love, not love is not love, there is no such thing as more love or less love. So I have always been helpless, or I am very confused, I don't know how I should choose. But today, just before, I suddenly realized that I was wrong... All along, my thoughts are too selfish! I always think about who I love the most, how I want to choose, what I want most With whom... Wait, wait, it seems that I only care about what 'me' thinks, only consider 'my' situation, but ignore other people's feelings, and other people's situation. This is really too Selfish."
"Well, keep talking."
"I suddenly thought today, if I think from their standpoint, who should be with me? Or, who needs me the most?" The cigarette was extinguished, and he said helplessly, "Look, Qiao Qiao, Fang Nan... well, I also know a girl named Yang in the United States... well, they are different from Yan Di. Even without me, Fang Nan is still the same. A strong woman in the business world has her own business and a strong family background. As for Yang Wei, even without me, she still has a brilliant mind and talent, and her talent is enough to make her a successful career. In fact, She is already a powerful person now... As for Qiao Qiao, even without me, she still has friends like you and Mu Mu, she can continue to be her powerful and invincible Miss Qiao, and she can still live so strong, So different. She also has a super rich father, no matter what trouble she gets into, her father can help her settle it... "
After I finished speaking in one breath, I suddenly slapped myself hard, and then said to myself: Chen Yang, you can think of such a reason, you are such a fucking bastard!
Then, I continued to talk slowly into the phone: "But Yan Di is different... She not only loves me, but also puts all her life's hopes on me. She has no family background, no Qian's father doesn't have a brilliant mind... Besides, without me, she would have nothing!!" I took another deep breath: "Ah Ze, do you understand now?"
"...Understood." Aze also sighed on the other side.
"So, since I can't tell which one I love the most, then I have to tell which one of them needs me the most." I laughed miserably: "Making this kind of choice is like putting your heart on the table." Cut it into several pieces, and then force yourself to keep one of them, and then throw away the others."
"Okay." Aze told me on the other end of the phone: "As your friend, I listened carefully to what you said to me. But I can't help you solve these things... Also, this news , I will pretend that I don’t know. Whether it’s Fang Nan or Qiao Qiao, I won’t tell them the news, if you have a chance, tell them yourself.”
"Okay, thank you for listening to me." I didn't intend to ask Aze to help me with what Fang Nan or Qiao Qiao said-this kind of matter should be resolved by myself, and it is impossible to leave the hands of others. It's just that I was really upset just now, and I need to find a friend to talk about. And Aze, who is the closest to me and who single-handedly caused a breakthrough in the relationship between me and Fang Nan, is the best person I can confide in.
"By the way, before you leave, I have another surprise for you." Aze suddenly raised his tone on the phone: "Perhaps after you see this surprise, your depressed mood will be better now. .”
"What surprise?"
"When I went to your hotel today, I brought a kraft paper envelope and handed it over to Lawyer Zhou, asking him to pass it on to you. You'll know when you open it." Ze's voice was a little mysterious, and then he turned to me He smiled and said, "Okay, have a safe trip! Live well in Vancouver! All your friends and people who care about you will bless you."
After Aze hung up the phone, I put away the phone, recalling the "surprise" he said, I immediately ran to find Baoya Zhou.
Bao Yazhou froze for a moment, and then remembered something: "Ah, that's right, there is an envelope with me. Alas, he didn't explain anything at the time. I thought it was just an unimportant personal item, so I thought I’ll just bring it to you in a while. But when things got busy later, I almost forgot about it.”
He rummaged through his purse, and sure enough he found a small kraft paper envelope and handed it to me.
…
While boarding the plane, we ran into another acquaintance. It was Gao Wenzhan, a rich Hong Kong businessman who was rescued by me, and he also left Lijiang on this flight. This is quite a coincidence.
He was also very excited when he saw me, and talked to me a lot. Later, Yan Di simply adjusted his seat and went to the back row to sit with the little girl. I sat with Gao Wenzhan.
"Well, I was in a hurry to go back. I took a plane from Lijiang to Kunming, and then transferred to Hong Kong on the spot. When I came out this time, I almost walked around the gate of the Palace of King Yan. After I go back, I must find an expert. Fortune-telling, and then do a ritual ceremony to get rid of bad luck!" Gao Wenzhan sighed with emotion.
I understand his feeling of returning home like an arrow. After experiencing his life and death ordeal, he must really want to go home.
I comforted him a few words, and then I opened the brown paper envelope.
There is only a small promotional brochure inside the envelope, about the size of a palm, and it is opened in four. The front and back are colored pictures plus some simple text descriptions.
Overall dark blue. On the homepage is a piece of villa real estate seen in Lijiang City. It has been processed with art. It seems that the real estate in the picture is in the middle of Lijiang's mountains and rivers...
On the background, there is a faint background of a woman dressed in blue, standing next to a waterwheel in front of a quaint ancient town...
The following is very clear, media publicity: Deep Blue Entertainment.
I suddenly understood, this is probably the commercial that Fang Nan's company came to Lijiang to shoot, right
It seems to be an agent for a certain vacation villa real estate.
Is this the surprise that Aze said
With this question in mind, I turned to the second page... Then, just looking at me, I couldn't help but slap my thigh!
"Damn! This kid, you didn't tell me earlier!"
On the second page, there is a stunning beauty!
Extremely exquisite facial features and facial contours—of course, there are credits for makeup and processing of photography techniques. But that stunning appearance will still make most men forget it!
And the slender eyebrows, the slightly raised eyes, the soul-stirring peach blossom eyes, and the blue eyeballs... With a strong mix of Eastern and Western styles, it is obvious that it has the characteristics of mixed blood... Enchanting The same human figure.
Ice blue eye shadow, ice blue lip gloss, ice blue long skirt and scarf, and the blue atmosphere brewing around... The beauty in the picture is almost portrayed as a "blue woman" that overturns all living beings. Enchantress"! ! ! !
There is no doubt that just looking at the blue enchantress in the picture, this is a beauty that can make countless men's hearts flutter!
What surprised me even more was not her appearance, but her identity!
She was none other than the beautiful biracial woman from the nightclub I took from that trip to Vietnam! ! I handed her and her sister to my friends and brought them back to China. Unexpectedly, she actually became a... advertising model in Deep Blue Entertainment
I immediately turned to the back, and the third page was also her appearance, but with a different pose.
And turning to the last page made me feel a little relieved.
The person on the last page is not a mixed-race beauty, but her sister YOYO. This girl with a disabled leg has an innocent smile on the screen, and the charm of the beauty is fully displayed! Her stunning appearance is not inferior to her sister's at all, coupled with that infectious smile, if she has a pair of wings on her back, I am afraid that some people will really regard her as an angel.
Of course, what makes me most gratified is that on the screen, she is running briskly with her skirt in her hands...
From this picture, I understand what the surprise Aze is talking about...
Live up to my trust, YOYO, her leg has been cured!
I stared at the album for a long time without speaking. Gao Wenzhan next to me was a little strange, and then he glanced at the album in my hand: "Oh? Mr. Chen, are you also interested in this holiday villa in Lijiang? Well, this is a beautiful city, it should be a good choice to buy a house here and live there for a period of time every year.”
I said casually, "It's okay."
But Gao Wenzhan took a second look at the album, but couldn't help but smile: "Yi? This real estate is endorsed by Jenny."
"Jenny?" I froze for a moment, pointing to the mixed-race beauty on the cover: "You mean her?"
"Well, yes. This female star's name is Jenny."
Oh... I nodded. Jenny, probably her new name. I asked casually: "This Jenny, is she famous now?"
I just asked a question casually, but unexpectedly, Gao Wenzhan glanced at me and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is abroad, so I don't know. Now in mainland China and Hong Kong, she is considered the most popular. She seems to sing A few songs, the downloads on the Internet are crazy. Well, although I don’t know much about the specifics, my daughter and her classmates almost all put Jenny’s posters in the room. Last Yue heard that she went to Hong Kong for a concert, which was sold out and caused traffic jams for three hours."
I:"… "
We broke up with Gao Wenzhan at Kunming Airport, where he flew directly to Hong Kong. Before leaving, I made an agreement with him to ask him to go to Vancouver when he is free in the near future. The two sides can carry out some business cooperation. Obviously, He is very sincere.
After more than ten hours of turbulent flight, our group finally returned to Vancouver.
After I got out of customs, my brothers from the family drove to pick me up at the airport.
Bao Yazhou went back to rest directly. I sent a car to take Lei Xiaohu back to the senior brother. This time, this guy followed us back to the country, almost eating, drinking and having fun all the way, and I, the uncle, paid the whole journey, don't be too cool! But this kid is already very close to me now, and the weight of my uncle in his heart has also increased greatly.
I brought Yan Di and the little girl back together, and Xi Luo also went with me.
I forgot to mention that after the luxury house I bought on the beach, I later bought another one near me for Xi Luo, so that everyone can live together and take care of each other.
However, after observing for a long time, I found that he was the only one living in a house as big as Xi Luo, and this kid still doesn't know how to find a woman for himself... Sigh.
Back home, everyone was exhausted, and there was a time difference between Asia and North America. Regardless of that, I fell asleep at home for more than ten hours, and slept until the next afternoon before getting up.
I was woken up by the phone call from Baoya Zhou.
As expected of a golden barrister, Gu Yazhou quickly helped the little girl get a temporary student visa.
The placement of the little girl... It is impossible to accept her as an apprentice, and I am not interested in teaching a little girl martial arts. For a decent girl, it's better to let her go to school.
Although this girl has a wild personality, but she followed me all over the world to Canada, and she was a little uneasy when she first arrived in a new place, and there was a little timidity in her eyes. After all, she is only a twelve-year-old girl.
After I got up first, I found that Yan Di was gone by my side. Putting on clothes and going downstairs, I saw Yan Di hugging the little girl at the back by the swimming pool looking at the sea.
"Cough! Cough!" I coughed hard twice, Yan Di turned around and saw me, and immediately smiled and said, "Are you up? I'll get you something to eat."
After we had a long talk in Lijiang, Yan Di looked radiant and full of happiness and sweetness like a little girl. Only occasionally, there is still a trace of uneasiness and doubt in the eyes... I think these will disappear after we get married.
"Girl, when did you get up?" I walked over and kicked her lightly from behind, and she sat cross-kneed by the pool.
"I got up early." She looked back at me and shrank her head.
I saw that she was a little reserved, and I knew why.
"Don't worry, I know that I am not very used to a new place now, but it will be fine soon." I looked at her and said with a smile: "I said, you are very similar to me. Our kind People are weeds! Wherever you go, as long as you take root! You can live a good life!"
Then I patted her: "Okay, I have applied for a student visa for you, and I will find a way to handle the immigration procedures for you later. But you can't just go to the school here now. You don't have any language foundation...here I found a language school, let's go to the language school to learn English tomorrow."
"Sir, are you really rich?" She blinked and looked at me: "Have you really decided to adopt me?"
"Live well." I looked at her: "You are very lucky. So you should cherish your luck even more, understand?" After a pause, I thought for a while: "Don't call me Mr. Wu from now on, call me Fifth Brother All right. Look, that's what everyone else calls me."
Seeing that she was still somewhat restrained and uneasy, I walked over, put my arms around her shoulders lightly, and tapped her on the head: "What's wrong? Are you stupid?"
"No... I feel like I'm dreaming." The little girl murmured.
I nodded, and simply sat down, sitting side by side with her: "Did you see this house? This swimming pool... and the garage at the back, where there are several very expensive high-end cars! Everything here, It’s worth at least tens of millions of dollars, and if it’s converted into RMB, it’s worth at least 200 million RMB…”
The little girl gasped and looked at me in surprise.
I smiled and said, "But you know what? Just two years ago, when I landed in Vancouver, I was a stowaway. I only had a backpack with a few old clothes in it, and in my pocket , only a thousand dollars."
Her eyes were wide open, she was staring at me closely, and there was light in her eyes!
"Sir, ah, that's not right, fifth brother." She looked at me, but still gritted her teeth and said, "I've made up my mind, I still want to worship you as my master!"
"You still want to learn martial arts?" I frowned.
Alas, that's all, everyone has his own ambitions, so let's do whatever we want. If she really likes learning martial arts so much, I'll take her to see the elder brother tomorrow.
"Well, tomorrow I will take you to meet a real master of martial arts! If you want to learn, for my sake, please ask him to accept you as an apprentice."
"No, I don't have to learn martial arts." The little girl quickly shook her head, she looked at me: "I don't want to learn from others, I just want to learn from you!"
"Learn what?"
"Learn everything!" The little girl's eyes flashed unprecedented enthusiasm: "As long as you know it, I want to learn everything!"
Many years later, I never imagined that this little girl whom I adopted at the beginning of a momentary heart would achieve a miraculous achievement not inferior to mine after many years!
…
"Well, first of all, neither of you is a Christian, so there is no need to hold a wedding in a church. And you are not a Muslim, not a Jew, not a Greek... Anyway, you don't believe in any religion, so there is no need to hold any religious ceremony. Bao Yazhou sighed: "I thought about it, and it seems that your wedding can be simplified. If you want to make it simpler, then I suggest that you might as well do it in the house you live in now." Just hold a wedding. Anyway, your villa has a large enough yard and lawn. We only need to hire some waiters, prepare some food, and hire a band. The layout of the venue can be handed over Give it to a company that specializes in this line of work... Anyway, my boss, you have plenty of money."
"Where's the guest list?" I frowned.
"This is more of a headache." Bao Yazhou smiled bitterly: "This is the thing that gives me the most headache! God! Why is it so difficult for you to even get married!"
He wrenched his fingers and looked at me: "Look, the guests we need to invite are: the president of the Protection of Women and Children Foundation, the president of the Vancouver Business Federation, and Mr. Mayor, the director of the Municipal Business Department Sir, the Commissioner of Revenue, and the editor-in-chief of the XX newspaper, of course, the police department, the new police chief, and Officer Jeff, who is now a senior police officer in a district. Besides, Mr. Doug is Your close allies will definitely be invited, as well as two regional senators, and the leaders of the two opposition parties. The director of the customs... and the private officer of the customs... And, please remember, These are just official people, these are all respectable upper-class people, and they are all gentlemen of status! The terrible thing is... We must invite people not only them! The bosses of more than a dozen gangsters in Vancouver, the top figures, All are invited! In addition, several smuggling syndicates at sea will send representatives. In Toronto, Sorin will definitely express something... The Yang family will also have representatives... "
Bucky Zhou looked at me weakly, and he had an ugly expression on his face: "My dear boss, think about it... Among your guests, there are the biggest smugglers on the West Coast, and customs inspectors! There are all the guests in Vancouver. The bosses! All the drug dealers, the arms dealers, the pimps, the bosses of the gambling syndicates... these guys will be there with several of our top city officials and police officers... Can you imagine cat and mouse together Do you want to toast each other and dance? Or imagine the scene where the biggest gang leader in the city's red light district stands with the president of the Society for the Protection of Women... "
Before he finished speaking, I couldn't help but yelled in depression: "Fuck!"
However, my troubles are much more than that.
When I was discussing with Bao Ya Zhou, I received a call from Yang Wei.
Seeing that it was Yang Wei's calling number, I felt guilty for a while, after all I was going to marry Yan Di, and Yang Wei, who obviously had a bit of friendship with me, called me at this moment... No Know what it means!
Fortunately, she seemed to have a calm tone on the phone. She probably hasn't received the news that I'm going to get married yet. On the phone, Yang Wei just told me in a business-like tone: "Do you still remember the company you bought from old Sorin with the shares of Huaxing Company? Now basically the preliminary work has been done, and we are now Facing an opportunity, if you seize it, I'm afraid everyone can make a small fortune... Are you interested?"
"Well, tell me, what's going on?" Seeing that she didn't mention my marriage, I was relieved.
"Well, that company has been restructured now, and their original situation was not very good. If there is no new capital injection, I am afraid they will file for bankruptcy in less than two months. And your current shares only occupy It’s just a part of that company, so I suggest that you invest in that company immediately! Then buy other people’s shares... Now that you’re facing bankruptcy, other people will be happy to sell it to you! Of course, this matter requires You did it yourself. You must come to America as soon as possible if you can."
"Go to America? You mean now?"
"Yes, now. We have been planning for half a year, and now we finally have the opportunity... Do you have any questions?" On the phone, Yang Wei asked me as if nothing had happened.
