The girl in the photo is walking on the tree-lined path of the campus with a textbook in her arms. The morning sun shines on her innocent face, making it look a little rosy. She is wearing a snow-white short stand-collar down jacket and dark green slim jeans. The girl's tall and charming figure, as well as her beautiful appearance, are all clearly visible in this small photo.
Wen Liang looked into the girl's eyes and felt a sense of déjà vu. A strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart, but he didn't know why. For a moment, he was a little anxious and annoyed.
This was a rare emotion Wen Liang had experienced since his rebirth. After going through so many things, he thought he could "remain calm despite the ups and downs of the world." But when the time came, he realized that cultivating one's energy and calming one's mind really takes a lifetime of effort!
"did you mean… "
Liu Tianlai said decisively: "At least one of Sang Li's parents is still alive..."
Wen Liang put down the photo, tapped the table with his fingers, and said, "Then why did you send the child to an orphanage, and why did you reconnect with him seven years later?"
"According to my experience, there must have been some special reasons, such as having a child out of wedlock, or having an extramarital affair, etc., so they had no choice but to send Sang Li to an orphanage. Seven years later, when the child was old enough to go to school, or until her parents' financial situation improved seven years later, they anonymously transferred money to the orphanage as the child's tuition and compensation. The other two children who also benefited were just a covert threat..."
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "Why aren't the parents of the other two children still alive, and why is Sang Li the beneficiary?"
"Because the two children went to work in the south together after graduating from junior high school, and almost lost contact with the orphanage, but the sponsorship funds have continued, and no other candidates have been designated," Liu Tianlai said with a smile: "Of course, the most important point is that although I don't know the current achievements of the two children, it is impossible for them to become the legal representative of a large company with a registered capital of more than 50 million..."
"Yes, fifty million," Wen Liang leaned back in his chair and murmured, "Except for the several million invested in Biluochun, An Baoqing has invested almost all of his assets in Changsheng. Given his personality, he would never do this unless he absolutely trusts someone."
But the problem is that An Baoqing is only in his early thirties this year. He can't have had a child at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Wen Liang and Liu Tianlai looked at each other and obviously thought of this problem. Liu Tianlai said embarrassedly: "Some people may mature early..."
Wen Liang rolled his eyes and said, "You should worry about your Zhihe. I think he matures early. Maybe he will bring his grandson home to you one day."
Poor Fatty Liu was skipping classes to bring food to Yang Yang who was far away in No. 19 Middle School. He had no idea that he would be betrayed by the bitch Wen Liang because of her quick words.
Liu Tianlai was dumbfounded and said in astonishment: "No way?"
These words made Director Liu, who had never considered the issue of sex education for his son, break out in a cold sweat. He knew that Wen Liang would not say anything he was not sure about, so he did not care about his modesty and begged him to give him some inside information.
"Okay, Uncle Liu, I'm just teasing you. With Zhihe's courage, he wouldn't even dare to touch a woman. How can you have a grandson? Wait another 20 years!"
Liu Tianlai thought Wen Liang was fooling him, and said with a bitter face: "Twenty years is too late, but now is too early, Master Wen, just tell me, did that brat fall in love at school?"
Wen Liang teased, "Uncle Liu, I always thought that according to your style, even if Zhihe was in love, you would just wave your hand and say something like a good father will have a good son, and pick up girls as early as possible. Why do you seem so anxious today?"
Liu Tianlai complained: "Mr. Wen, you definitely misunderstood me, Old Liu. I am actually quite traditional..."
Wen Liang laughed loudly, and his originally gloomy face immediately looked much better. Liu Tianlai saw that he had achieved his goal, so he smiled and stopped asking about Liu Zhihe. In fact, with his means, if he wanted to know some inside information, it would be as easy as taking someone out of his crotch!
"Master Wen, do you want me to investigate Sang Li further?"
Wen Liang picked up the photo again. The girl's eyes were curved into a crescent shape because of the glaring sunlight. She looked very innocent and cute. He shook his head and said, "That's it. No need to check it anymore."
Liu Tianlai tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Mr. Wen, is there something wrong with An Laojiu? Do you want me to... um?"
Wen Liang glanced at him and said calmly, "I still have some use for you, Lord An Bao. Do you understand?"
Liu Tianlai nodded sternly and said, "I understand, I understand!"
It is still useful, but it does not mean that it cannot be used. In other words, once it is no longer useful or cannot be used, you have to do it the same way.
He thought he understood Wen Liang's thoughts, but in fact, he was far from it. The biggest difference between Wen Liang and Gu Shitong was that he would never give up on someone, unless he gave up on himself or made a mistake. Otherwise, he would not let others down as long as they did not let him down!
An Baoqing is a man of both ability and ambition. Once he gets the chance, he may very well be the next Gu Shitong or the next Fan Hengan. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are tyrannical by nature and are ruthless and unpredictable. Once they become too powerful to be controlled, they may end up suffering from their own mistakes.
Wen Liang's power in Qingzhou is vaguely divided into three parts. The first is the officialdom represented by Xu Wen, Zuo Liu. Xu Fuyan is uncontrollable, Wen Huaiming is a family member, and Zuo Yuxi is no different from a family member. Needless to say, Liu Tianlai's wealth and future are all tied to Wen Liang, and he is loyal and worry-free. The second is the support represented by Ning Xi. The two have a close relationship and are mutually beneficial. They have both short-term interests and long-term plans, so there is basically no worry about cooperation. The third is the underworld represented by An Baoqing. Many times, Wen Liang needs to use this power, but he must be cautious to keep a certain distance, just like a double-edged sword that can hurt others and himself. This is also the weakest link in the troika, so Wen Liang tried his best to use Biluochun and the big hotel to tie An Baoqing firmly to his side. As long as the weight of betrayal is not greater than the benefits of loyalty, he can finally control him.
These three lines move forward separately and merge into one when necessary. If there is a problem in one of the lines, it is likely to affect the overall layout, so Wen Liang does not mind Liu Tianlai's eagerness to try, but the premise is that any action must be approved by him.
Those who make things up and force others to rebel are fools, those who do not understand dialectics and blindly believe things are idiots. Wen Liang is neither a fool nor a idiot, so he trusts the present but not the future. Therefore, he does not guard against today but tomorrow!
The confrontation ended quietly. When Minghua's employees suddenly realized that Qi Shu, the president's assistant, had not appeared since some time ago, the former Qingzhou beauty had been put into prison in Qingzhou Women's Prison and began her one-year sentence. With Wen Liang's secret care, her life in prison was simple but basically peaceful. She followed a regular schedule and worked on time. There was no insult or beating, and there were no dirty games and perverted tortures among female prisoners. The time in prison was the most pleasant experience for her body and mind in the past ten years.
This is undoubtedly a powerful irony to reality!
Gu Shitong's life was not so comfortable. First, he broke his arm and without Qi Shu, he found that the progress of many businesses was extremely slow. Secondly, in order to settle this conflict, Minghua paid nearly 15 million in cash. In the next two years, it will increase the investment proportion in Qingzhou. It is initially estimated that another 100 million will be invested. Not to mention the pressure on the capital chain, it even has a huge impact on the strategy of the entire group. In view of the long payback period of the investment projects in Qingzhou, if no new, fast-growing high-yield projects are discovered, the group's plan to IPO next year may have to be postponed.
Even though Gu Shitong owned the majority of Minghua's shares, he also caused strong dissatisfaction among small shareholders. This pressure was passed on to Gu Shitong through layers of accumulation, leaving him unable to take care of other things for a while, which also left time for Wen Liang to develop.
Even Wen Liang did not expect that the damage caused to Gu Shitong by his counterattack this time was far more serious than it seemed.
On the second day after Qi Shu was imprisoned, that is, January 23, the new book launch of "China Can Say No" was officially held in the Great Hall of the People. After more than half a month of preparation, with the influence of Peking University Press and Fan Bo himself in the media circle, and Lei Fang's secret support, the launch conference on that day was attended by many dignitaries, including more than 70 mainstream media outlets from all over the country. The famous scholar, professor, and Peking University President Ji Lin personally attended the event to promote the book. This was an unprecedented first, and it immediately set off the first climax of the whole audience.
The appearance of Phoenix Bird President Fan Bo caused the media to scramble to ask questions. Teacher Fan has experienced many big scenes with Wen Liang during this period. Moreover, he is a teacher by birth, so he is least afraid of fooling students in the classroom. He made up his mind and treated everyone as his students. In response to the sharp or harsh questions from the media, he quoted all kinds of allusions at will, and his words were sharp but humorous, showing his elegant demeanor and eloquence. This caused many media colleagues in Beijing and western provinces to ask about Fan Bo's background. He was unknown, but had such amazing charm.
The media in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were immediately proud and processed and spread the stories about Fan Bo in Suhai Biluochun. Immediately, the three points became ten points, and black fungus was called pink fungus, which caused a second climax in the conference hall, with wave after wave of applause.
Afterwards, many experts and scholars were invited to discuss and evaluate the book. Of course, they would not say bad things after receiving red envelopes. After some exaggeration, the book gradually rose from artistic and literary to the height of national, ethnic and righteousness. Combined with the current serious crisis in the Taiwan Strait, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became warm. Every media reporter received the book for free when entering the venue. Some female comrades even had tears in their eyes as they flipped through the book in their hands. Seeing that the time was ripe, President Fan came out at the right time and said, "I am a businessman, I love money, but I am also a literati in my bones, and I love books more. But besides money and books, I am still a Chinese, and I deeply love my country, just like the famous sentence that Lu Fangweng chanted when he was sick, 'I dare not forget my country even though I am in a low position.' Today, standing here, in this sacred Great Hall of the People, I also want to shout out that sentence with all of you..."
He pointed the microphone at the audience, and nearly a hundred journalists in the audience, some passionately and some helplessly, shouted together: "China, you can say no!"
This is a media that can almost influence public opinion across the country, and this is also a group that can almost guide the direction of literature. When they collectively shouted out this sentence, it was destined to mark the birth of a miracle in the history of the Republic.
After the press conference, nearly forty of the more than seventy media outlets present issued special issues, and more than ten pure literature media outlets did special reports. Within almost three days, the spiral effect began to ferment, push forward, and eventually form a huge snowball that rolled forward unimpeded.
When Fan Bo was experiencing the most glorious peak of his life, Wen Liang was sitting in the classroom with a sad face, thinking hard about how to solve the problem of Baidu. Fan Bo said it was not easy, but saying no to Wei Qiwen was more difficult than expected.
A pencil tapped lightly on the table. Wen Liang looked over and saw Ji Su pushing a bag of something under the math book. When he lifted it up, he saw that it was the long-lost popping candy.
The math teacher was explaining functions. The old man had poor eyesight, but Wen Liang was not afraid of being discovered. He opened the bag and poured the whole thing into his mouth. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't eaten it for many years and forgot its power, or if there were too few fakes these days and the effect was too good.
Almost in an instant, Wen Liang felt that he was about to die. The crackling feeling in his mouth pierced his soul all at once, without even aiming.
Ji Sutan opened his mouth slightly, his bright and clear eyes full of disbelief. It's not uncommon for people to eat the whole bag, but to do this in class, what if he gets yelled at later
Wen Liang's face twisted, and he looked at Ji Su pitifully. Then he turned his head suddenly, vomited everything out, stretched out his tongue, and breathed out continuously.
Ji Su had never seen Wen Liang look so cute and adorable before, and her heart melted instantly. She reached under the table and held Wen Liang's hand, squeezing it gently, and smiled softly, "Don't be afraid, be good, your sister is here."
As the saying goes, we are not afraid of hooligans pretending to be innocent, but we are afraid of innocent people turning into hooligans. Ji Su, who never flirts with others, suddenly did this, and even with Uncle Wen's strong willpower, he almost turned into a beast in a second.
"Ren Yi, can you tell me how to solve this function problem?"
The old man's eyes, which had been unfocused and diffused, suddenly focused for the first time, and Uncle Wen was miserably tricked. However, there was someone even more miserable behind him. Ren Yi stood up with gritted teeth, and said in a tone of determination, "No!"
The old man was surprised and said, "Wen Liang, why are you standing up? Sit down quickly. I know you can't answer Ren Yi."
Wen Liang was about to say no, but the old man smiled sinisterly and said, "I can tolerate one no, but if the second one doesn't, I'm likely to get angry, and if I get angry, there will be one more person in the corridor outside. Classmate Ren Yi, will you?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
