Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

Chapter 115: Apologize and celebrate the New Year

Views:

Late at night, it started to snow in Dongshi and the capital thousands of miles away. When Shu Xunfen and Xia Shao walked into Taoyuan District, Xu Tianyin picked up the phone on the table.

A late-night phone call woke Qin Hanlin from his sleep.

The man climbed out of the quilt irritably, grabbed the cell phone on the bedside table, opened it and squinted at it, reacted for a while, quickly got up, picked up the phone and cursed: "Xu Tianyin! There is something wrong with you! What time is it now? ? If you don’t sleep, you think others don’t sleep either!”

On the other end of the phone, Xu Tianyin's voice was cold and indifferent, and he asked: "Get up if you want political achievements."

"Political achievements?" Qin Hanlin smiled, but his smile looked like he wanted to kill someone, and he was grinding his teeth. "You disturbed your dreams in the middle of the night just to tell me that you are now caring about my political achievements again? No need! I am obsessed with you. After taking care of me for several months, I will remember the benefits you gave me!"

Qin Hanlin emphasized the word "benefits" very seriously and wanted to strangle Xu Tianyin to death!

Didn't he give him some advice some time ago to chase his junior sister, but those tricks didn't work! This kid doesn't deserve to be punished to death, right

Qin Hanlin found it strange. Those tricks were all practiced by him during many years of love affairs, and they were quite effective! Why doesn't it work on that little girl

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, the most hateful thing is that Xu Tianyin, this guy, cut down a large area of the forest when he turned around!

In the past few months, one of the women he has been eyeing has fallen out! He even failed to strike up a conversation! At first, he was puzzled and found it unbelievable. Later, he realized that it was too abnormal. His peach blossoms had always been very prosperous. During that period, it was as if someone had chopped them off! He immediately called Xu Tianyin to ask, but the boy admitted it simply. It means that his junior sister doesn't like his pursuit tactics, so he, the one who came up with the idea, will be in trouble!

Is this even justified

Qin Hanlin even wanted to strangle Xu Tianyin to death! Of course he didn't know that because of his bad idea, Xia Shao had not allowed Xu Tianyin to see her during the day on weekends. He only felt that he had made careless friends, but it was too late to regret it! The direct disciple of the head of Xuanmen wants to kill his peach blossom, what else can he do

It's a pity that he was in his prime, but he has become a loner in the past few months.

well! Such a life is really as lonely as snow.

"After you are transferred to the Qing City Discipline Inspection Commission after the New Year, I have a political achievement for you, about Yang Hongxuan." Xu Tianyin rarely talked so much. Qin Hanlin was stunned on the other end of the phone and did not answer for a while, but his expression became more serious.

The Qin family is a wealthy official family in the capital, and Qin Hanlin's grandfather is the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Republic. He has been trained as the key heir of the family since he was a child. After embarking on an official career, he worked in the party and government departments in the capital for several years. At the end of the year, he finally The documents are here to release him.

For officials' children like them, they have been trained since childhood, and naturally they are not meant to be released to the outside world. The purpose of being sent out is just to add some qualifications and achieve some political achievements, so that you can be transferred back and promoted. Just like Xu Tianyin today, he only served as commander of the Provincial Military Region for two years. After making some achievements, sooner or later he will be transferred back to assume important positions. He was trained by the country when he was a teenager and completed many cutting-edge tasks abroad. The country cannot keep such top talents on the outside.

Speaking of Xu Tianyin, he can be called a weirdo in the Xu family. The second and third generations of the Xu family were all engaged in politics. He was the only one to break into the military world on his own. He suffered a lot of hardships outside, but in the end, he really worked hard and became famous.

The factions in the capital are complex, and local people have to take sides. Yang Hongxuan, the provincial party secretary of Qing Province, is not from the Qin clique, but happens to be a general from the Jiang clique in the capital. Every year, factions fight secretly and try their best to bring down the other party's people. If a minister-level official like the secretary of the provincial party committee can pull him down, it will naturally be a big blow to the opposing faction. But although the Qin Department said that he was from the Discipline Inspection Commission, officials of this level could not be removed by just pulling.

Moreover, Yang Hongxuan himself is cautious and protects his official reputation. He has always been aloof from money and women, and can't find any bad deeds. I heard that he has a brother-in-law who is a tycoon in the real estate industry in Qingzhou Province. However, he has been very clear with this brother-in-law to the outside world, and there is no financial relationship between him and Yang Hongxuan. Therefore, it is not easy to attack Yang Hongxuan.

"When did you become so humane? Are you thinking about my political achievements? Are you so kind?" Qin Hanlin raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Because of the relationship between the old man and the Xu family, the Xu family has a more aloof status. The children of the family do not take sides with the outside world. However, in fact, the Xu family and the Qin family have always had a good relationship. The outside world basically thinks that the Xu family supports the Qin family. But in fact, the Xu family generally does not interfere in the fights between factions, especially ministerial-level officials. If they do, it will definitely have a big shock among the factions. The old man of the Xu family cannot interfere with this matter. This must be Xu Tianyin's own action.

However, with Xu Tianyin's temperament, how could he suddenly find trouble with Yang Hongxuan

suspicious! Very suspicious!

Unless Yang Hongxuan messed with him without a long thought, Yang Hongxuan should know Xu Tianyin's identity, so he couldn't mess with him.

Qin Hanlin smiled strangely in the bedroom and asked, "I guess it's not for your precious junior sister again, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Tianyin didn't answer him, but said coldly: "I'll collect the information and pick it up tomorrow."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Qin Hanlin was left looking at the phone, raised his eyebrows and whistled.

material? ha! If this kid takes action, it will be a big deal! However, he was really curious, why did Yang Hongxuan provoke Xu Tianyin

This curiosity kept Qin Hanlin from sleeping well all night. When he got up in the morning, he went straight to Xu Tianyin's residence.

Xu Tianyin and the old man do not live together. He has his own residence in Sijiu City. A courtyard-style manor villa designed with a mixture of Chinese and European styles, with beautiful greenery, and the most important thing is that there are few people and it is quiet.

If other people saw such a residence, they would probably admire the generosity, but Qin Hanlin knew that Xu Tianyin didn't even choose the house when he bought it. The developer had built and decorated the ready-made suite, and he could move in directly after paying. He had been abroad all year round and never came back once a year. It is said to be my own house, but it is not even as good as a hotel.

Entering the room, Xu Tianyin handed Qin Hanlin a stack of documents, the thickness of which surprised Qin Hanlin.

There was a thick pile, and the more Qin Hanlin looked at it, the more he frowned. The materials in hand are all the company accounts of Qingdao Jinda Group. The project landmarks and details of payment inflows and outflows in the past ten years are clear. Even the shares, loans, short-term financing bonds, and creditor's rights are clear at a glance! The huge profits are shocking to see, and what is even more shocking are the data on the bidding and land acquisition period, some shady corporate competition, demolition compensation data, and extensive investigation of the current status of the resettlement of indigenous people.

What made Qin Hanlin frown was that in the information Xu Tianyin gave him, every time Jinda Real Estate started construction on the bidding site, there would always be people from the original place of residence who would register their death and cancel their household registration at the public security bureau. For these people, the death certificates issued by the hospital were all normal deaths. However, judging from the fact that the age range of the deceased ranged from old people to middle-aged people to young women, this probability and coincidence are not accidental!

These things were covered up after the fact, but everything in the world is "if you want others to know nothing, you have to do nothing about it." In the last part of the information handed over by Xu Tianyin, the medical records of the deceased and some family members who were beaten after petitioning, The photos of the hospital visit are all clear! Especially for some old people and young girls, the photos of their deaths are even more shocking!

Moreover, these documents also included photos of thugs from the Jinda Group violently collecting debts and beating people. One by one, Qin Hanlin threw the documents on the table and said, "Bastard! Villain!"

Xu Tianyin remained silent, picked up another pile of information from the table and handed it to Qin Hanlin. It was thinner than the previous pile. Qin Hanlin took it and took a look. This stack of information was about Yang Hongxuan. Yang Hongxuan's personal assets, relatives' assets and relatives' information are all listed neatly. From the information point of view, these assets are all within the normal range. But there is one thing that seems more subtle. That is the information about Yang Hongxuan's wife's natal family. Their assets are considered good for an ordinary family, but they cannot be said to be wealthy. However, the older children in the family are all studying abroad. The information about the school, work-study program and expenditures are also in the information. These expenditures do not match up with the accounts at home, and their origins are very suspicious.

If you look carefully, you can see that some funds came in and out from Yang Hongxuan's wife. Each transaction was small and not eye-catching at all. But in the ten years since the establishment of Jinda Group, the sum of this money has amounted to a considerable sum! Moreover, his wife was involved in money laundering and her assets were transferred abroad.

After reading the information, Qin Hanlin smiled, put the information on the table, and said jokingly: "Oh, it is indeed Commander Xu's handiwork! Is this the result of half a night? The domestic banking system and household registration system, There are also several foreign banks, tsk tsk, Commander Xu often goes in for a walk. Can I use your invasion as a reason to let you return my peach blossoms?"

Xu Tianyin pursed her thin lips, sitting behind the table, with a cold and stern face, a lonely aura, and a sense of being repulsive to others, but she said: "Get the job done, and I'll give you back your love."

Unexpectedly, his answer made Qin Hanlin raise his eyebrows in surprise and smiled, "Tsk, tsk! Can I ask, why did Yang Hongxuan offend you?"

The information Xu Tianyin gave him basically turned his entire family fortune upside down! Very few people can withstand an investigation like his! They all have to lose their official positions, or even go to jail!

Yang Hongxuan is already very cautious. Even if the Discipline Inspection Commission investigates, it will not be easy to find flaws. But Xu Tianyin took action. To him, this information was no different than pediatrics. He could get it at his fingertips.

These things about Yang Hongxuan can be big or small, it all depends on how they make a fuss. If the article becomes big enough, it will be enough for him to be slapped with a big hat. After all, Cao Li borrowed his power to dominate the country, which caused a lot of trouble. In recent years, the national policy has been to vigorously develop real estate. If demolition and demolition cause too much public resentment, no matter what, we have to catch a few typical cases and deal with them to make the people angry. Cao Li has a lot of bad deeds. If he is set up as a model, Yang Hongxuan will definitely be implicated!

It was obvious that Xu Tianyin had to pull Yang Hongxuan down.

Qin Hanlin's smile was a little weird. As he spoke, he glanced at the two piles of documents on the table and guessed, "Or maybe I should ask, why did Cao Li offend you?"

If he remembered correctly, Xu Tianyin had handed Cao Li's information to him first. Moreover, his temperament means that even if someone kills someone and sets fire in front of him, he can turn a blind eye and do his thing. Why does he hate evil so much this time? No matter how bad Cao Li was, Qin Hanlin didn't believe that Xu Tianyin would pay attention to him.

But he paid attention, and the matter became suspicious.

Qin Hanlin is also smart. Cao Li is a businessman. He has no reason to offend Xu Tianyin, but just because he is from the shopping mall, he is on the same stage as the chairman of Huaxia Group! Moreover, from these information, it can be seen at a glance that Cao Li is a very bold person and has ruined many women from good families. Could it be that he was blind this time and fell in love with someone he shouldn't

"Isn't this guy blind and has an idea for your precious junior sister?" Qin Hanlin smiled and stared at Xu Tianyin.

Xu Tianyin was silent, but the aura around him was obviously colder. His eyes fell on Cao Li's photo on the file, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Qin Hanlin laughed "ha", "I knew it!"

What does it mean to give him some political achievements? He simply wants to eliminate the roots.

If Cao Li falls, Yang Hongxuan will be implicated even if there is no involvement of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but he is not involved. If the relationship is cleared, he will not be dismissed. But if Yang Hongxuan does not fall, there is no guarantee that he will not vent his anger on others. Even if he doesn't necessarily know that this matter is related to the Huaxia Group, he still has to eradicate it! Leave no consequences!

Tsk tsk, this man is cruel enough.

Qin Hanlin picked up the information and flipped through it again. He must have made some political achievements along the way. However, dealing with Cao Li is easy, while dealing with Yang Hongxuan requires the operation of people from the Qin faction. He had to take these materials back and thoroughly understand them. After he took office at the Qing City Commission for Discipline Inspection, he would contact the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Hey, I will also go to Qingshi after the New Year. I will bribe my junior sister well when I see her, and maybe I will have a good life! Haha." Qin Hanlin collected the information and immediately looked forward to the New Year. To be honest, I am bored staying in the capital. Maybe there will be fun things to do in Qingshi!

After talking about the business, Qin Hanlin started chattering again, but Xu Tianyin ignored him after talking about the business. No matter how noisy he was, he treated him as if he didn't exist.

Mornings in Beijing are noisy, but mornings in Dongshi are warm.

Xia Shao had breakfast with her grandma and parents, and went to stay with her master all morning. Tang Zongbo checked her skills to see if she had made any progress. In the afternoon, she returned home to prepare with her mother. But when I was busy working in the afternoon, I would occasionally see my mother being a little absent-minded and constantly looking at my father.

Xia Zhiyuan held the mobile phone in his hand and answered several calls throughout the afternoon. Every time he answered the phone, he went outside to avoid people and looked puzzled when he came back. The couple also secretly went into the room to talk quietly. Although they were avoiding Xia Shao, how could she not notice them

However, when he found out, she just smiled, and her smile was warm. The parents must have done something about Xia Zhiwei and his son. I never expected that my father, who had an honest temperament, would actually want to teach others a lesson. This is all for herself, so her heart is naturally warm. Although this year it was a bit disappointing to know that Xia Zhiwei and his son would come tomorrow, seeing her parents like this made Xia Shao feel warm in her heart.

But of course she couldn't tell her parents what happened last night. She would just wait for the father and son to come over tomorrow and apologize.

However, Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan were puzzled for a day and asked a few friends to help check the hotel to see where Xia Zhiwei and his son lived, but there was no result.

Is it possible that the father and son went back

This is unlikely, right

But no matter what, no information about their father and son's move-in could be found. It seemed obvious that Xia Zhiwei and Xia Liang were no longer in Dongshi. This speculation made the couple angry and happy at the same time. Indignant that they just left without venting their anger on their daughter! I'm happy that this year can finally go well without anyone making trouble.

The couple spent the whole day busy in this complicated mood.

The next day, Chinese New Year.

Everyone eats lunch at their own house, and then goes to the hotel in the evening. Grandma Jiang Shuhui lived in Xia Shao's home in Taoyuan District. Grandpa Xia Guoxi was picked up by his youngest son Xia Zhitao because he had no face to come. They had dinner together at noon and the family went to the hotel early in the evening.

This is the New Year's Eve banquet. Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhiqin are married daughters. Naturally, they will go back to their in-laws' house today and get together in the hotel on the second day of the lunar new year.

When Xia Zhiyuan took his mother, wife and daughter to the private room of the hotel, Xia Zhitao's family and the old man were already sitting in the room waiting.

Xia Shao supported her grandma and followed her father in. As soon as she came in, her uncle and aunt stood up with a smile. Xia Guoxi did not get up. He acted like an elder, but his face was a little tight. He turned around in embarrassment and asked his wife He took it and sat down.

Although he didn't have much affection for his uncle and aunt, Xia Shao was quite polite at this time. He called Xia Zhitao and Jiang Qiulin, making them happy and praising them repeatedly.

He was just complimenting her, but the look in his eyes was a little weird.

This was naturally because of the insulting words said by Xia Zhiwei and his son. Xia Zhitao and his wife had quietly discussed this at home. Xia Zhitao had always been puzzled about Xia Shao's acquaintance with the Dongshi Anniversary Society, but now that she thought about it, she wasn't being hustled by someone, was she

This matter is just a guess. Xia Zhitao only dared to think about it in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud. Since the business in his store has been bad, his current building materials business is just like other stores. He makes a small profit, which is enough to support his family. Moreover, Xia Shao's reputation was well-known in Dongshi, and she had made such a big name in Qingshi. Although the family was separated, Xia Zhitao still got some credit. Most of his colleagues complimented him, but what surprised him was that no matter how much credit he got, the business in the store was just average, and he was no longer as profitable as before!

Of course Xia Zhitao didn't know that this was because Xia Shao had changed the Feng Shui of his shop before going to school and changed it into an ordinary one. It didn't help his business, but it didn't hurt either. The quality of his business depends entirely on his own ability. , there is no help from Feng Shui.

But Xia Zhitao has not paid off his bank loan yet, and that is still relying on Xia Shao's relationship with bank president Song Qiumao. Therefore, it is obvious that he is relying on Xia Shao now. No matter whether she is like Xia Zhiwei and his son said, it cannot change this fact.

And Jiang Qiulin thought so too. I don’t know how famous she is when she goes out now. Her friends all know that she is the aunt of the chairman of Huaxia Group, so that’s a compliment to her! In any case, she didn't want Xia Shao's company to be brought down by the provincial party secretary's brother-in-law. If her company fails, although their family will no longer have to look at the face of their eldest brother, this society is such that people worship the superiors and the inferiors. If the Xia family's assets are gone, outsiders will point fingers and ridicule. As a relative, wouldn't he be implicated

Therefore, Xia Shao's company is doing well, and their family can at least benefit from it. No matter what you do, people will make it convenient for Xia Shao's sake!

Therefore, the couple had this in mind, even though they were very concerned about what Xia Zhiwei said, they were polite and complimentary to Xia Shao's family with a smile.

Until the dishes were served one after another, Jiang Qiulin was still praising Li Juan, and Xia Zhitao was still praising Xia Shao's achievements in Qingshi. On the contrary, grandpa Xia Guoxi coughed, looked at the dishes, looked up embarrassedly, and said to Xia Shao: "It's good to do big things outside, but be careful to protect yourself."

Xia Shao was stunned. Her grandfather had never said a word of concern for her since she was a child. When Xia Zhiwei and his son spread rumors, she thought that because of the old man's temper, she was to blame for insulting the old Xia family's family tradition. She didn't expect to say such words. .

Grandma Jiang Shuhui laughed at the side and patted Xia Shao's hand. Xia Shao also smiled and nodded in agreement. It was not until the sumptuous New Year's banquet was served that the family started to have dinner.

"We're celebrating the Chinese New Year, so we won't discuss work matters. Come on, have a drink and eat vegetables!" Xia Zhiyuan arranged for the family to have a banquet. He smiled and asked the old man to use his chopsticks first, "Dad, Mom, come and try the New Year's Eve in the hotel." How's the banquet going? It's Chinese New Year. I wish you and your wife good health, longevity and a good mood in the new year!"

The old lady smiled from ear to ear after hearing this, but the old man was a little shy and embarrassed to look at his eldest son, but seeing all the juniors waiting for him, he picked up the chopsticks.

But before the chopsticks could move, someone came into the private room.

"Dad, Mom! Haha, eldest brother, younger brother and sister." This sudden voice caused the smiles on the faces of the whole family to freeze, and they all turned their heads, raised their heads, and looked at the door.

At the door, Xia Zhiwei came with his son Xia Liang. They were both dressed grandly in suits and carrying large and small bags with gifts. Xia Zhiwei still had the same beard on his face, but his smile was no longer as ferocious as it was that day, but a humble and flattering one.

Although this scene is confusing, the whole family's expressions changed when the father and son appeared in the hotel!

Xia Zhitao slammed the table first and stood up, "What are you doing here? Who asked you to come! I tell you, don't look for bad luck during the Chinese New Year! Otherwise, I will accompany you and your son to go out and beat you until you can't return to Qingshi!"

Jiang Qiulin also sneered, "How did you find me? You're so capable. I don't even know if I'll welcome you!"

When Xia Guoxi saw his eldest son and grandson coming, he stood up excitedly, his hands shaking a little. He still remembers that day when his son pointed his nose at him and scolded him for being an old man. But Jiang Shuhui's face turned pale a long time ago and she protected her granddaughter first.

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan stood up together, "You're here just in time! Tell me clearly what you said that day! It's not you who ruined the girl's family's reputation! Since you are here today, I think you don't want to leave!"

The whole family was at war with each other, but Xia Shao sat calmly, eyes lowered, without looking back, and only comforted her grandma.

Xia Zhiwei and his son just stared at Xia Shao's back, their eyes full of fear and caution, and said with a smile: "Mom, Dad, you misunderstood. We are here to apologize. There are some things we want to make clear to you."

"Apologise? Do you have such good intentions? I'm afraid it's the weasel who wishes the chicken New Year greetings, and it's not a good intention!"

"Who needs your apology? Get out of here! Do you want to kick you out?"

Xia Zhitao and his wife didn't buy it, and Xia Zhitao even came out of his seat and rushed over to chase them away.

"No, no, no, no!" Xia Zhiwei and his son put the gift at the door. When he bent down, he couldn't help but pull the wounds on his body. He grinned for a while, but when he raised his head, he smiled, "We are just here to explain. It’s about what happened that day! Some of the things we said were indeed said casually. Think about it, what a bastard! It had a bad impact on Mr. The reason is to scare the family, so that the family will think that our Xia Liang can help the Huaxia Group with our connections, so that Xia Liang can recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, so that he can gain some benefits from the Huaxia Group... "

"Yes! Yes! Grandparents, uncles and aunts, we did this unethically. We bastards! We are not a thing! We didn't consider Mr. Xia's reputation. Now we know we were wrong. We can't see the mountain! I hope Mr. Xia Forgive me! After we return to Qingshi, we promise not to cause trouble again!"

"We also made up Mr. Cao's story. Huaxia Group's assets are no less than that of Jinda Real Estate. It is a leading enterprise in the province and a major taxpayer. The province actually values it very much. Such a large group can not be moved at all costs. ? It’s not like children playing house. What we said is simply a rumor to scare you. We come to apologize tonight because we want to make things clear and ask for Mr. Xia’s forgiveness! Haha... "

The words of apology caused the atmosphere in the room to change drastically. The old man Xia Guoxi was so angry that he trembled, "You bastard! What a bastard! How important is the reputation of a girl's family! Is there anyone like you who can be an uncle? I can get some benefits for my son. , Don’t you want to lose face? I, I... I really don’t have a son like you!"

But the others, Xia Zhiyuan, Li Juan, Xia Zhitao and Jiang Qiulin, were all stunned. Firstly, it’s because of the change in the attitude of father and son, and secondly, it’s because of the hidden meaning of what they say – anyone can tell that such a big change in the attitude of Xia Zhiwei and his son must have something to do with Xia Shao!

Xia Zhiyuan looked at his daughter with a bitter look on his face - when did he do this to this child? What method did she use? Why didn't he check where the father and son were when he was looking for someone yesterday? well! As a father, his connections are still far from those of his daughter.

The most important thing is, this kid arranged this, right? Then she kept silent yesterday, causing him and his wife to worry and struggle for a whole day? This kid!

Xia Zhiyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he looked at Xia Zhiwei and his son, his expressions were indignant. Although the matter has been explained, the insult has been said. No matter what, he, as a father, cannot forgive someone who insults his daughter in this way!

But Xia Zhitao's family looked at each other with horror in their eyes - Xiao Shaozi arranged this, right? How cruel are Xia Zhiwei and his son? How did she do it? Moreover, it is true that Xia Liang works as the security manager of Jinda Real Estate in Qingshi, and it is also true that he has met many people through Cao Li's influence. Who is Cao Li? That's the brother-in-law of the provincial party committee leader! The best in the province! Xia Liang doesn't have to be afraid of Xiao Shaozi. But today? Look at how scared the father and son are! What on earth did Xiao Shaozi do? How could such a violent father and son be so afraid

This child is far more extraordinary than they imagined!

Xia Zhitao and Jiang Qiulin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they thought about the whispers they had speculated in the house over the past few nights!

Fortunately, they didn't do anything stupid, otherwise they would be the unlucky ones!

The couple almost breathed a sigh of relief, but they had to help Xia Zhiyuan's family attack Xia Zhiwei and his son. The father and son were ridiculed and scolded by the couple, but they stood at the door rubbing their hands the whole time. He smiled apologetically and kept looking at Xia Shao.

Xia Shao ignored them for a while and finally spoke. But she didn't even turn her head, and her tone was very calm. As she spoke, she called her little cousin Xia Rongxue over to tease her, "It's enough to make things clear. Remember not to do such unreasonable things in the future. Go back to Qingshi honestly. If the old man asks you to come back from now on, come back and have a look. If he doesn't ask you, just stay in Qingshi."

After Xia Zhiwei and Xia Liang heard this, they felt like they were being pardoned. They thanked them humbly and respectfully, and placed the gifts at the door. Even though Xia Zhiyuan asked them to take them, they didn't take them. They just nodded and left.

Afterwards, the New Year's Eve dinner at Lao Xia's family really changed. Xia Shao spent the New Year's Eve with her uncle and aunt's horrified eyes and her parents' eyes that said, "You're waiting to go back and be tried."

Even so, when she saw her parents' hateful expressions, she smiled unkindly all night long and felt very good. Except for her and grandma, who ate happily, everyone else had their own thoughts on the New Year's Eve dinner.

When the New Year's Eve bell rang, firecrackers were blasting outside, and the atmosphere was festive. Xia Shao received a call from Xu Tianyin.

As soon as she saw the phone, Xia Shao smiled bitterly. It was so noisy, how could she hear what she was saying

But she still picked it up and said New Year greetings with a smile, "Happy New Year, senior brother! Are you ready for the red envelope? Give it to me when school starts!"

"Okay." Xu Tianyin's voice was indeed hard to hear clearly, and she didn't know whether his good words were New Year's greetings or a promise to send red envelopes for the start of school.

Firecrackers were also rumbling in the capital, but Xu Tianyin proposed to pay New Year greetings to Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan, which made Xia Shao smile bitterly, "How can I hear it clearly? Let's go early tomorrow morning!"

"Well." The man's voice was muffled amidst the festive sound of firecrackers. In the joyful atmosphere of the ringing of the New Year's bell, the two of them were thousands of miles apart, each holding a phone, but the atmosphere on the phone inexplicably dropped. An indescribable lingering breath, a quiet warmth and longing that permeates the heart.

After a long silence, I vaguely heard the man's deep voice, "I miss you."

He seemed to be waiting for the sound of firecrackers in the capital to grow quieter before saying this, but he still couldn't hear it clearly, but it still struck people's hearts hard, causing those who vaguely heard it to lose their breath.

Xia Shao glanced beside her and saw that her parents had already been paying attention to her. She quickly smiled and shouted unkindly to the phone: "Huh? What did you say? I can't hear you! Oh, don't say New Year's greetings." Yes, let’s fight again tomorrow.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone and explained to his parents with a smile, "Senior brother called, saying that he wanted to wish Master a happy new year, and he would call you to wish you a happy new year. How could he hear it clearly? I asked him to call again tomorrow. beat."

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan were a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't spend much time with Xu Tianyin, and they always thought he was their daughter's senior brother. They didn't expect that he would call home to say New Year greetings. Should I say that this child is particularly filial, or is there something else

Both husband and wife were a little strange, especially Li Juan. After taking a good look at her daughter, she unexpectedly smiled and sent her grandparents New Year greetings, and stuffed red envelopes to the two elderly people and cousins. She acted very naturally, and Li Juan took it back. A suspicious look.

That night, Xia Zhiyuan took his father Xia Guoxi back to his home for the night. He only waited until the third day of junior high school before returning to the village to move to a new home.

This was the first time for Xia Guoxi to visit her eldest son's house in Taoyuan District. After seeing the scenery inside and the grandeur of the house, she felt very uneasy. This was his granddaughter's ability. The grandson he had always hoped for was in vain, but he never expected that this girl, his granddaughter, could do such a great job. This year, the eldest son and his grandson were having such a quarrel. Although the granddaughter said that if he wanted the father and son to come back in the future, they could still come back. But after their father and son did such unreasonable things, how could he have the nerve to ask them to come back and offend his granddaughter

I'm afraid it will be difficult to see this son and grandson in the future.

well! What evil has the Xia family done? How come there are two incompetent people like this...

Xia Guoxi sighed with emotion. He spent the whole night looking at the simple Chinese decoration and mahogany furniture in the room, and he couldn't sleep all night long.

Xia Shao was also interrogated by her parents for most of the night, and she had no choice but to blame everything on her connections in the Huaxia Group. It was said that they found a few people and threatened Xia Zhiwei and his son, and then they came to apologize.

"You kid, you can strike faster than your father!" Xia Zhiyuan glared at his daughter and sighed. He said that he didn't want her to worry about it, so she settled the matter herself. This made him feel a little uncomfortable as a father, but at the same time he felt more relieved about his daughter. She was able to handle these matters quietly, which at least proved that her connections and abilities were enough to reassure her parents.

However, Li Juan still wanted to ask about Xu Tianyin, but Xia Shao stopped her from yawning twice. Seeing that she was tired, she sadly sent her to rest.

Xia Shao's little plan succeeded and she went back to the house to sleep.

But Xu Tianyin couldn't help but was too obedient, so she actually called home early in the morning. Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan both answered the phone with a smile and said a few greetings. After hanging up, Xia Shao received the interrogating and scrutinizing eyes of her mother again. Xia Shao had no choice but to use her Tai Chi spirit to coax her mother back. Then she ran to her master Tang Zongbo to stay with her all morning and never came back.

The first day of the new year has passed, and the second day of the new year is the day when the two aunts come back to pay New Year greetings. The Xia family has booked a banquet in the hotel again, and this time they are really reunited.

At such a reunion, it was inevitable to receive compliments, but Xia Shao was not annoyed, but rather looked forward to this day. Because I can see my aunt’s family and my cousin Zhang Ruman.

Although Zhang Ruman and Xia Shao are both in Qingshi, this girl studies far away from Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, and studies in a middle school close to the military region. Whenever she had free time, she would go to the military area to practice target shooting and wrestling. Xia Shao was busy, and she was also busy, so she didn't really see him usually.

However, in half a year, after the summer vacation, after she is admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, the two sisters will be in the same school and see each other every day. Xia Shao was looking forward to this. According to her agreement with Mr. Li, when she finished her second year of high school, she should go to Hong Kong to save Li Qingyu. It was inevitable that she would have to transfer to Hong Kong. Although she hadn't mentioned this to her family yet, her schedule had been decided. Xia Shao still cherished the fact that she could study in the same school as her cousin for a year before going to college.

Xia Zhiyuan's family arrived early for this family reunion banquet, but the other three families still arrived earlier than them. When the family entered the private room of the hotel, they were warmly welcomed by the three families. After some New Year greetings and congratulations, a sound of surprise suddenly came from the room.

"sister!"

Xia Shao raised her eyes and saw her cousin Zhang Ruman.

Zhang Ruman was wearing a red festive cotton jacket and jeans, with her long hair tied neatly into a ponytail behind her head. A sixteen-year-old girl with wheat-colored skin, a rare heroic look on her eyebrows, extremely bright eyes, full of vitality, and a heroic appearance!

The two sisters hugged each other and were both very happy. Zhang Ruman's mother Xia Zhiqin was seen shaking her head and laughing: "Look at you two, you are usually in Qingshi, but you only see each other once every New Year. You are so happy to meet, why bother to come?"

"Isn't that busy! My sister is busy doing big things, and I am busy practicing in the military area. We all have our own things to do!" Zhang Ruman said.

Xia Zhiqin glared at her daughter and said, "Your sister is busy, and she is telling the truth. What are you busy with? Shooting guns and wrestling, look at you, you are wild, you are just playing! I can tell you, you The high school entrance examination is only half a year away, so don’t be wild anymore, review your homework carefully, go to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, and study more with your sister!"

"Mom, don't keep nagging me about practicing gun and kung fu in the military area. I have a goal!" Zhang Ruman said as he put a palm on Xia Shao's shoulder and asked with a heroic and crisp smile, " Sister! Are you looking for a bodyguard? Let me tell you, my marksmanship is very good now, and I can take down a whole squad of soldiers without any problem! You wait another half a year, and when I get to No. 1 Middle School, I will be your bodyguard! If someone plots evil against you, Knock him down directly!"

Zhang Ruman's words made everyone in the room stunned, and then they all burst into laughter.

"This kid is not serious! Why should he hire a bodyguard?"

"Your goal is to be your sister's bodyguard?"

"Go! Don't give yourself a reason to act wild in the military area!"

"I'm telling you, if you really get admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, don't cause any trouble for your sister! What kind of bodyguard do you think you're going to make for TV? You might even have to follow behind to wipe your ass!"

The whole family shook their heads and laughed. They all felt that Zhang Ruman was born in the wrong child. If she were a boy, her temperament would be quite suitable.

Xia Zhiyuan and Xia Zhiqin's family laughed until their stomachs ached, but Xia Shao could tell from her cousin's words that she had obviously heard about Xia Zhiwei and his son coming to their hometown to spread rumors. This matter must have been revealed by Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao, and Xia Zhitao must have informed Xia Zhimei's family that Xia Zhimei and his son came to apologize on New Year's Eve. Otherwise, when we arrived at the hotel today, the atmosphere couldn't be so harmonious. It would be a bit dark anyway. Yong is.

But at this moment, not only were there no such undercurrents, but Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao's family felt a little uncomfortable seeing that Zhang Ruman's family had such a good relationship with Xia Shao's family. If my eyes were brighter at the beginning, can I get closer now? Unlike now, where they only give compliments and say good things, they don't look like a family at all.

But even so, good things should be said.

"Xiao Shao is really capable! Look at what he did in Qingshi, what a big deal!"

"Really? How many people can accomplish such a big undertaking? Huaxia Group was able to swallow up Shengxing Group. I have never heard of such a legendary deed in all my years in the mall!"

Xia Zhitao and Liu Chunhui praised their careers, while Jiang Qiulin complimented Li Juan.

"Sister-in-law, this dress of yours is so beautiful. Xiaoshao bought it for you, right? The style is very fashionable. Sister-in-law, your life is really good!"

Hearing this, Xia Zhimei curled her lips and smiled uncomfortably. The style is quite good-looking, and maybe it’s because Li Juan wore makeup today. Her skin tone doesn’t look darker, and her bright red eyes make her look dignified and festive.

It's just that saying these compliments now, thinking about the past, makes people's faces feel hot.

Xia Zhimei has always had a serious temperament, but now she can no longer teach anyone anything in front of her eldest brother and his family. Ever since the fire in her family's factory, there was no need to continue the business of producing parts for domestic automobile groups as an agent, as her credibility had long been ruined. In desperation, he took out a loan and returned to his old business of oil processing. Although he was still making money, his family fortune and profitability could no longer be the same as before. My son also suffered some blows due to family affairs. He is no longer the "Liu Shao" he used to be at school. Many classmates are sarcastic and his grades are much lower than before. I will take the college entrance examination next year, but I don’t know which school I can go to.

But things in the world have always had causes and effects. Who planted the cause of today’s effects

After finishing the meal, only Xia Zhiqin's family was still chatting closely with Xia Zhiyuan's family as before. Xia Zhiqin even babbled to her daughter to study hard and prepare for the exam in the next six months.

Zhang Ruman was so helpless by her mother's nagging that she hurriedly surrendered, "I know, Mom. My grades have always been good, so don't worry. Besides, Dad will change his job next year. I won't be able to run wild in the military area even if I want to, so you can It would be better for me to stay in the military zone for another half year."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the whole family was stunned. Naturally, everyone had heard about this. They couldn't help but look at Zhang Qixiang, who served as company commander in the military region.

"What? Qixiang is really going to change his career? Have everything been arranged? Although your brother-in-law says he has no skills now, he still knows some people. Do you want to help take care of the relationship?" Liu Chunhui asked quickly. In the past, he wouldn't take any responsibility for this matter, but it's different now. Isn’t it that the old man’s family has a good relationship with the third child’s family? It's okay to take advantage of the situation and get close to each other.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qixiang was about to change his career. He didn't look sad at all on his face, except that he was a little reluctant to leave the army. He said: "I don't need to bother my eldest brother and brother-in-law about this. I received a notice from the army some time ago, saying that if I don't want to change my career, , I’ll give it to you and transfer it to a civilian position. If you want to change your career, please raise your military rank by one level, and the work force will be responsible for making arrangements."

As he said this, Zhang Qixiang's face was obviously filled with gratitude and emotion. He had been in the army for many years, so he naturally had feelings. When it was time to change his career, receiving such care made his heart naturally warm.

"Really?" Are you in the army, or are you changing careers?"

There was a look of reluctance on Zhang Qixiang's face, but he had the iron character of a soldier, "I think it's better to transfer. I'm old, and this is the rule of the army. I can't be special. And the military region is responsible for the job transfer. Arrangement, this is already good for me."

The whole family nodded repeatedly, but Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled while listening.

This should not have been the case. She originally planned to arrange this matter for her uncle during the Chinese New Year this year, but it seemed that someone had taken action before she did.

There is no need to even think about who is taking care of the uncle. Besides Xu Tianyin, who else could be there

Now that the matter was settled, the family felt relieved.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year was a good day calculated by Xia Shao, when her grandparents returned to the village and moved to a new home. The whole family came back, set off firecrackers in a lively manner, and invited the old man into the new house.

Many people from the village came to watch this happy move, and Xia Shao met her childhood playmates, Liu Cuicui, Zhou Mingxu and Du Ping, in the village. It happened that Zhang Ruman was also there, so Xia Shao gathered the four of them together and said, "Come and sit with me at a teahouse in the city. I'll give you something good."

This was the last thing she had to do during the vacation. After finishing this, she could spend a few days at home with her parents and master, waiting for school to start.

------Digression-----

In the next chapter, Sister Shao will learn how to go to school. In the second half of the semester, this guy Qin Hanlin is here. Isn’t it exciting!

Yesterday, a girl asked me why I can't see the review page. It's because the website hasn't been completely revised yet. It will probably take a few days to debug before it works properly.

ps: Keep asking for votes! I think my ticket sales this month are expected to exceed 1,000? Ouch, this number makes me excited~rolling over~
