In the study, An Guangyao sat on the sofa with a serious look, looking at his son and daughter-in-law in front of him with deep eyes.

An Yudong and Zhou Bizhen looked at each other and looked at each other. After a moment of silence, An Yudong turned to look at his father and said suspiciously, "Dad, come to us, is there anything important?"

An Guangyao nodded, "As I told you before, the proposal on the establishment of the two branches has been voted on at the board of directors. You should prepare for this matter as soon as possible, and let An Luo and An Ze go to work in the company next week. , and also familiarize yourself with the company's business."

An Yudong was silent for a while, and then asked again, "You mean, let the two of them go to two companies separately?"

"Well, this is also a decision I made after thinking about it for a long time." An Guangyao sighed softly, "Although these two children have a good relationship on the surface, they are both very proud in their bones, and who will encounter problems of principle? I won’t back down either, working in the same company, I’m afraid their disagreements will make things unpleasant.”

An Yudong nodded, "Then how does Dad want to divide the labor? Let An Luo go to the entertainment company, and An Ze to manage the hotel?"

An Guangyao smiled and said, "It's up to them to decide." Then he said to Zhou Bizhen, "Azhen, go and call An Ze and An Luo in."

"Okay, Dad."

Zhou Bizhen turned around to call someone, and after a while, An Luo and An Ze walked into the study one after the other.

An Luo glanced at An Yudong who was standing in the house, then looked back at his grandfather sitting on the sofa, and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

"Well, the complete separation of the two companies has been decided. I asked you two to know what you mean. Xiao Luo, which business are you more interested in?"

An Luo pondered for a moment and asked, "Who was in charge of the business on both sides before?"

An Guangyao said, "Your father is in charge of the hotel business, and your aunt Zhen is in charge of the entertainment company."

An Luo nodded, "Oh, then I'd better go to the hotel. I just lost my memory and am completely unfamiliar with the stars under the entertainment company. I'm afraid I won't know what to do after I go to the entertainment company. The hotel work is probably easy to get started with. Some, with my father here, can teach me more."

"That's right." An Guangyao smiled and turned to look at An Ze, "Where's An Ze? What do you think?"

An Ze said lightly: "I don't care. Since my brother wants to go to the hotel, then I will go to the entertainment company to help my mother."

An Guangyao nodded, "That's it, get ready. You will officially start working next Monday. Remember to be humble when you arrive at the company and learn from the seniors, you know?"

"I know Grandpa." After An Luo said, he turned to look at his father, and said earnestly and sincerely, "Dad, I have a lot of things I don't understand, and I will trouble you to teach me from the beginning."

An Yudong still had a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Of course."

An Luo did not see any wrong emotions on his face. If those memories had not been restored, An Luo would even think that the middle-aged man in front of him was really just a gentle and loving father.

After coming out of the study, An Luo turned around and went back to the bedroom. Unexpectedly, An Ze came in as well. An Luo turned his head and just wanted to speak, but saw that he put his index finger to his lips and made a "shush" action. Thinking of the bug in the bedroom before, An Luo closed his mouth and stood silently by the bed, watching him approach.

An Ze walked to the bed and sat down, took out the tablet from his pocket, opened a notepad software, called up the keyboard and started writing—

"Do you have other reasons for choosing to go to the Hua'an Hotel?" After writing, he looked back, his eyes that seemed to be able to understand everything were cold and sharp.

An Luo took it and wrote: "Yes, I want to find out the truth about your brother's kidnapping."

"Do you think my brother's kidnapping has something to do with Hua'an Hotel?"

"It's just a guess, it hasn't been confirmed yet, I'll tell you when I have the answer." After writing this line, An Luo frowned again and added, "Don't worry, I'll leave after the truth is revealed. I I have no interest in your family business, whether Hua An Hotel or Hua An Entertainment Group will be yours in the future."

An Ze looked at this line of words, but only found it extremely dazzling and ridiculous.

He never thought about arguing with his brother. From childhood to adulthood, his brother has always been the only successor of the An family in his heart, otherwise he would not have changed his mind temporarily and went to the military school. But now, my brother is gone, all this has to fall on his shoulders.

An Ze raised his head and glanced at An Luo. Seeing that the expression on his face was still calm, he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only suppress the sadness in his heart and left a sentence: "Be careful." He got up and left. .

***

An Ze came to the upstairs bedroom alone. It belonged to my brother. My brother has lived here for more than ten years. Every piece of furniture in the bedroom seems to have his breath left behind - familiar and warm. breath.

An Ze walked gently to the table, opened the drawer, and took out an album.

It was a commemorative photo album that the school sent to each graduate when my brother graduated from high school. It contained a group photo of their classmates in twos and threes, as well as a group photo. My brother hates taking pictures, so apart from the photo taken with his mother when he was seven years old, the only pictures left are in this graduation album.

An Ze found his brother's position at a glance from the group photo. He was standing in the middle of the second row. The classmates around him were all smiling brightly. Only his face was very stiff. Every time he looked at the camera, he would With such a bewildered expression, his lips pursed slightly, his eyes stared straight ahead, and his face was serious.

Scrolling back, it is the group photo of the four brothers An Luo, An Ze, An Yan and An Mo. On the day of An Luo's graduation, grandpa invited a professional photographer to take graduation photos at school. He also called the three brothers who were in the first year of high school to take a photo with his brother. In addition to this group photo of the four, An Luo also took photos with each of them separately. A brother took a photo together.

This is also the only photo of An Ze and his brother in more than 20 years from childhood to adulthood.

Until now, An Ze still clearly remembers the mood at that time. The first time he took a photo with his brother, he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put it. An Luo was also very nervous. Every time he faced the camera, he would become stiff, so , the two brothers are stiffer than the other. The two people in the photo are standing side by side, looking like a pair of sculptures in front of the library.

An Yan, who is not afraid of death, joked when the photo came out: "The expressions on your faces are so stiff, it's like taking a wedding photo..."

In the photo, An Luo in a school uniform still looks a little green. An Ze, who is also wearing a school uniform, is already five centimeters taller than his brother. The two brothers are standing side by side, fingers nervously by their sides, and their eyes are straight. Staring straight at the camera, with a serious look on his face, it's funny no matter how you look at it.

That year, An Luo, who was admitted to a key university, attracted a large number of love letters from girls because of his handsome appearance and unique temperament. That year, An Ze, who was even younger than him, finally confirmed his feelings for his brother. After a period of painful struggle, he made the decision to protect his brother silently in his heart.

It has been a long time since that year, but those feelings are still deeply engraved in my heart. The first heartbeat, the tender love, the painful struggle, and the prudent determination are all as vivid as yesterday.

However this time...

After many years, looking at this young photo again, An Ze was so sad that he almost burst into tears.

"Brother... are you really... gone?"

An Ze gently touched the familiar face of the person in the photo, like nostalgia, more like farewell.

He could never believe that the person he had loved and guarded for many years disappeared into his world inexplicably, without a decent funeral or even leaving any traces.

But one strong evidence after another was in front of him, and he had to convince himself to believe it.

An Ze looked at the photo in silence for a long time, the tears in his eyes slowly blurred his vision, and An Luo's face in the photo became more and more blurred. Finally, An Ze closed his eyes gently, resisted the urge to cry, stretched out his hand and took the photo out of the album.

He carefully cut the frame of the photo with scissors, adjusted the size, and then gently put it into his wallet, where he could see it as soon as he opened it.

Brother, if you do leave...

I will never, never forget you.

***

A week later, An Luo, who was able to walk normally, followed his father to the internal meeting of the Hua'an Hotel.

A clean and tidy white shirt with a simple striped tie, and a light gray suit set off his slender and beautiful figure. There is not much expression on his cold and indifferent face, but it is strange that it is such a face that does not have much expression. However, there is a unique and attractive temperament. An Luo, who is dressed in a neat suit, seems to exude a sinful abstinence temptation.

The appearance of An Luo successfully aroused the curiosity of everyone, especially the young single women in the company who looked at such a handsome young man from the An family were even more heart-pounding.

According to legend, the poor An Luo, who almost died after being kidnapped, not only lost his memory but also his legs were crippled when he woke up, actually recovered in such a short period of time. Instead, he was very calm, and there was a fierce aura that was hard to ignore in his calm eyes.

Sitting next to his father, he quietly listened to reports from various departments, his face was always calm, as if he didn't understand much, and as if he knew everything. No one could guess what he was really thinking. Occasionally, if he peeked secretly, he could only see his expressionless and handsome profile.

After the meeting, An Luo was appointed as the vice president, second only to his father in power in the hotel. For a private property like the Hua'an Hotel, it is not unusual for the Crown Prince to be directly airborne to be a vice president. What is strange is that this young master of the An family is too beautiful but also too cold, making people unpredictable and touching well.

At the same time, at the Huaan Entertainment Group's meeting, An Ze, who appeared with his mother, also successfully attracted everyone's attention-especially his eyes, whose deep and sharp eyes made people dare not look directly. It is said that he used to be a soldier, and his aura is really scary.

With the full support of his mother, Zhou Bizhen, An Ze began to implement reforms in accordance with his own management philosophy after taking office. He dismissed several incompetent leaders without mercy, and promoted several talented young people to come up, some with potential The star also has plans for a repackage. An Ze has always been decisive and unpretentious in his work. The only problem he could not handle since he was a child was probably his feelings for his brother.

After get off work, Anze drove home and saw a seemingly warm picture at the door—

An Yan, who came back from abroad, was standing at the door with a smile on his face, hugged An Luo who had just gotten off the bus, and said with a smile: "Brother, I knew that you will recover when I come back. I'm really happy that you're finally able to walk normally."

An Luo smiled slightly and said, "Have you finished filming?"

"Not yet, the crew is on vacation for two days, I'll come home to see you." An Yan looked at An Luo carefully and praised, "Brother is now the boss, it's different, he looks better than before. Much handsomer."

Just as An Luo was about to answer, he turned his head and met a deep gaze. Although it was across the car window, that sharp gaze made one's heart tremble slightly.

Today's An Ze seems to be a little different. He looks very calm in a black suit. If he used to wear a military uniform with that kind of resolute and bloody military temperament, now he has changed into a suit and has successfully transformed into a The image of the business elite, this formal dress also made him mature a lot at once.

An Ze opened the car door, walked over, stopped half a meter in front of An Luo, and asked in a low voice, "The first day of work, is it going well?"

An Luo replied softly, "It went well."

An Ze nodded and said, "Go in, it's time to eat."

It wasn't until his back disappeared at the door that An Yan scratched his hair and said suspiciously, "Brother, have you noticed that An Ze seems to be in a bad mood? Did the two of you quarrel again?"

An Luo didn't answer, just turned around and walked into the room.

An Yan looked at his stiff back, and after a moment of silence, he shrugged helplessly and sighed softly: "It's really two hard stones, one is harder to deal with than the other, alas..."

That night, the four An family brothers, An Yudong and his wife, and grandfather An Guangyao, had dinner together as a family around the table. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Zhou Bizhen even cooked a few good dishes by herself.

Seeing the mature appearance of An Luo and An Ze wearing suits and ties after they officially went to work in the company, An Guangyao was also happy from the bottom of his heart. , The family had a lively reunion dinner, the funny An Yan told some jokes from time to time to adjust the atmosphere, and there were frequent happy laughter on the dining table.

No one expected that this might be the last dinner of the An family's family.

At this time, in a villa in the southern suburbs, a man was sitting on a swivel chair smoking leisurely, and the smoke ring rose up, covering his entire body with a hazy layer of smoke.

Halfway through the cigarette, he suddenly flicked the cigarette ash with his middle finger, lightly pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and said lazily, "The fish has already taken the bait. Are you ready for the final plan?"

The young man beside him had a slight smile on his lips, leaned over to his ear and said, "Don't worry, it's already being arranged."

The man nodded with satisfaction, stood up and patted the hem of his clothes lightly, and said lightly, "Xiao Rui, you have to remember that in this world, only dead people can be completely trusted."
