The New Year of 1997 was a little different for the Xiao family. The banquet in the hall is still the same, but the elders sitting on the main seat are missing one person. The old man's complexion has recovered a lot now, and he is not as worrying as he was a few months ago, but at this moment of family reunion, it is inevitable that he is still sad. In order to reassure the old man, the juniors below have tried their best, and they are just short of entertaining their relatives.
Xiao Junyi also sat obediently on the grandchildren's banquet. Now that he has been tossing about the development, some news has been spread. There are a few people in the family who know the inside story. Some people are repelled and disgusted, and some people are full of curiosity. This boy from the second brother's family just winked at him and made a strange appearance for a long time, and only a little restrained after being glared by his father. Xiao Junyi smiled, didn't care, just picked up the wine glass in his hand and poured himself slowly.
This time, in order to get rid of Director Jiang, he and Liang Feng spent a lot of effort, from the method of setting up the game to the point of detonation, they all carefully considered. There are a lot of things behind him, and his mother helped him behind the scenes, so that he could settle the enemy so simply. Only after clearing the obstacles, the person he was waiting for still did not come back.
Since the end of January, he has been unable to contact Chen Yuanming. This person actually went to Hong Kong again, and I don't know what to do. The level of confidentiality has been raised so high, I am afraid it is also a big deal. It's just that he hasn't seen each other for so long, and his thoughts have already filled his chest, and he is about to burst the bank. Maybe by the end of the month, he should also go to Hong Kong for a visit
The food here is absent-minded, and there are people watching over there, and it is even more unpleasant in the heart. Xiao Yun can be said to be one of the people in the Xiao family who understands this matter best. However, for the threat, the power of the two little guys broke out, which shocked him. If he is the one facing this situation, will he guard a relationship like this? Xiao Yun didn't want to find that answer.
Being mixed up like this, the attitude of the sister-in-law has obviously changed, and the old man didn't say anything. With such double insurance, Xiao Junyi is afraid that this kid is going to pass the test, right? His eyes swept to the eldest brother sitting in the second seat, Xiao Yun poured himself a cup with a toothache, alas, the eldest brother is afraid that it will not be easy...
After the meal was over at 9:00, the old man went back to the bedroom with the help of the guards. Xiao Junyi was about to take the opportunity to slip away when a voice stopped in front of him.
"Jun Yi, come with me."
It was Xiao Junyi's father who spoke. Stopped by this order, Xiao Junyi took a lot of effort to turn around and walked behind his father into the study.
When he came to the house, he didn't let his son sit down. General Xiao went to the desk and picked up a stack of documents and looked through them.
"In a month, one person was dismounted at the main hall level, and three people were at the department level. The subordinates are uncountable. Is this thing comfortable to use?"
General Xiao's voice was not ridiculed, but tingling majesty. Faced with such a question, Xiao Junyi did not look away, but replied earnestly, "I have a clear conscience."
General Xiao's tiger eyes firmly locked his son's figure. He was a general who fought on the battlefield after the founding of New China. easily resisted. Xiao Junyi can't either. But this time, he didn't dodge, just straightened his back and looked back at his father.
The son's clear and straightforward gaze did not impress General Xiao. He put the information on the table and said, "I don't agree with your affairs. In the future, you must stay away from the Xiao family's circle, and you can't do it again if you interfere in the political affairs."
When the words were decisive, Xiao Junyi's face suddenly turned pale. If what my mother said at the beginning was just a denial, then what my father is saying now is complete expulsion. For a person from a military and political family, being deprived of political rights can even be said to have cut off most of his roots, which is like exile.
Looking at his father with a stern expression in front of him, Xiao Junyi's throat rolled for a while, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "I understand. In the future, I will manage my own business well and not embarrass the Xiao family."
He was originally a businessman, and he never wanted to develop in the military and political circles. This kind of "punishment" was acceptable to him.
Seeing his son's obsessive attitude, General Xiao snorted softly, his shoulders collapsed a little, and he slowly leaned on the back of the chair. Although he has just entered the peak of his political career, he is already over 60 years old, and he is no longer as energetic and courageous as the young people in front of him. The pair of sword eyebrows slowly eased, General Xiao said.
"I've been a soldier for so many years, and it's not like I've never encountered such a thing. There are also similar situations in the army. The environment and pressure make them mistake friendship for love and do some irreversible things. These people later retired, He soon settled into a normal environment, got married and had children."
The words "marry and have children" are very clear. Xiao Junyi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Such stubbornness was expected by General Xiao, "Everyone who is dazzled by love is so stubborn. Go ahead, don't come back and cry in a few years."
"I won't." Xiao Junyi replied firmly, "Neither I nor Yuanming. Just like you and your mother back then..."
At that time, his mother was also cut off from the family, and she also went against the eyes of the world, just for the sake of a soldier from a mud-legged background who had nothing to live for and went to love. Time did not live up to her discerning eyes and did not waste her efforts. Today, so does he.
General Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and in the end he couldn't say anything, just waved at him. Xiao Junyi looked at his father sitting behind the writing desk, with an indescribable emotion in his heart. Because of work and career, this person has been absent for a long time in his growth experience. He used to look forward to his father's encouragement and longing for his father's approval, but his father's eyes have never been placed on him...
Taking a slight step back, Xiao Junyi bowed to his father, turned out the door without saying a word.
The study was silent for a long time, the door of the inner room slowly opened, Liu Lanxin walked out and came to her husband's side.
"I've been away for too long, I don't seem to know him anymore..." Xiao Shan relaxed and leaned back in his chair without the deputy general's demeanor.
"He has never been a worry-free kid." Liu Lanxin's eyes were a little red, and she put her hand on her husband's shoulder lightly, "Actually, you can put it in a more euphemistic way..."
"It's hard to calm down after all." With a long sigh, Xiao Shan held Liu Lanxin's hand with his backhand. That hand was no longer as smooth and tender as it used to be, and just like him, it began to grow spots and blue veins. He concealed his old-fashioned appearance, but he was still rubbing the back of his wife's hand just like in the past, "It's all my fault that we didn't lead the way."
A slight smile appeared on Liu Lanxin's lips, like pride, but also dismay, "Junjun is most like me, always."
"He is much more capable than you were back then." Xiao Shan's lips were slightly raised, "If you can explain everything to the old man, who would have thought of it."
Thinking of the old man's saying "children and grandchildren have their own blessings", Liu Lanxin can only smile bitterly. Who would have guessed that even after guarding against it for so long, it could still be exploited? However, Chen Yuanming's heart really touched them.
It's just... Liu Lanxin hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "Is it really impossible for Junjun and your family?"
Xiao Shan shook his head, "Chen Yuanming's identity is too special, his rise is too fast, his ability is too strong, and he is a talent worth recruiting. In fact, there have been some anxiety above, fearing that he will stand in line, choose a certain family for marriage investment, and bring The risk is too uncontrollable. But who would have thought that he would choose Jun Yi... This is a good thing for some people."
After all, the Xiao family is a military family, and even if it has political influence, it is quite limited, and military-business marriage has always been a tradition, which is far safer than military politics. After all, there are also the above considerations. Chen Yuanming has made such a move, and there is no way to be more agreeable. Therefore, the Xiao family must also make a gesture to keep Xiao Junyi away from the political circle, which is the best way to protect. The two of them can use business to build their own empire, and there are more, so don't get involved.
Liu Lanxin quickly understood the meaning of her husband's words. In a high position, some things are really beyond her control. Perhaps these two children have pursued their own happiness in the best possible way. Her eyes were a little hot, Liu Lanxin clenched her husband's hand and sighed softly, "Actually, Chen Yuanming's child is very good."
"Hmph, the talks between the two will break down after a few years. Then you have to find a good family early and let that kid get married as soon as possible!"
"You..." Listening to her husband's remarks, Liu Lanxin laughed dumbly, "If you can live a good life, you still have to go on, but you must have children, and you will have to worry about this later."
The hands of the two were tightly clasped together, just like any ordinary couple, and they started chatting. The sound of firecrackers outside the window gradually sounded, overpowering the whispers of the two, and heading towards the new year.
———
New Year's Day didn't wait, and New Year's Day didn't get in touch. Seeing that Lantern Festival was approaching, there was still no news from that person. However, Xiao Junyi did not start to be impatient. He has now learned to persevere, and he also knows that something more important must be holding Chen Yuanming's footsteps. They have already passed so many levels, and it's not bad to wait a long time.
After the year, all the restrictions disappeared without a trace as they came, and Xiao Junyi once again devoted himself to the intense work. The third phase of the Junteng office building has been basically completed. At the critical moment of capital recovery, the first-generation router was successfully developed at the beginning of the year and officially launched. It is necessary to contact all aspects. Work was like a tangled ball of thread that caught his eye.
In such a boring and orderly work, the capital ushered in the first snow of spring. It was not as heavy as last year's few snowfalls, at most it could only be regarded as sleet. After pattering all night, there was not much white floating on the ground. Instead, a lot of ice slag was formed. Therefore, when I woke up in the morning, except for the slightly cold temperature, I could not feel the arrival of this snow at all.
Xiao Junyi arrived at the company at noon. After finishing the affairs at hand, he brought his secretary to the new building to check the situation. Just these few steps, the phone kept ringing, and he walked out of the elevator door while talking on the phone. At this time, it had just passed the spring break, and not many people came to work in the company, and the parking lot was naturally empty. Without looking at the road, he walked straight to his parking space, but a long whistle stopped in front of him. Xiao Junyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.
Beside his Hummer, there was an identical Hummer parked, and a handsome young man stood beside the car, looking at him with a smile.
"Does Mr. Xiao have time now? I'm missing a driver here."
The words were plain and light, as if a few months of separation never existed. Xiao Junyi also laughed, hung up the phone, and threw the phone into the secretary's arms.
"Chen Dongxiang invites you, so you should find some time."
Looking at the boss who was striding forward, Secretary Yan was a little confused and ran two steps, "Xiao, President Xiao, then today's meeting..."
"Tell them that we won't go to court today!"
With this smiley joke, the two hugged each other so tightly that they were so close to each other. Miss Yan opened her mouth, her face suddenly turned red, she took two steps back at a loss, but found that she couldn't control her eyes at all, so she turned her back in embarrassment.
Well, that Director Chen is not a touchstone... Why did they seem to be kissing just now... Could it be that... The little girl's head was like a mess, but before she could figure out why, the Hummer behind her sent out a burst of powerful motors Voice. When I looked back again, the car had already gone.
Looking at the back of the car, Secretary Yan bit his lips and froze for a while, then stomped his feet and ran to the office.
