Xu Tingsheng's basic psychological and human nature analysis hadn't guessed the opponent, but he guessed the old man Fang first. his mind.
If a disease is so ill that it needs to be treated like a "dead horse as a living horse doctor", it is best not to find another experienced doctor. Because that only means experience, and what experience can save, it will not be almost impossible to heal.
"Take someone like the Fang family for you to practice, and the opportunity is rare for ordinary people in a lifetime." The old man Fang said with a smile, "Fang Yuqing, the name of the Fang family will definitely be louder than me in the future. What do you think?"
The old man had an optimism that a dying person shouldn't have. It is rare and rare for people to be able to shine for such a long time. The old man has been in good spirits and complacent these past few days, and even the ventilator can be temporarily used.
He seems to be sure that some of the things that the Fang family has lost now will be seen in Fang Yuqing in the future, and even more.
Therefore, for some benefits that he could not give to Fang Yuqing for the time being, he gave them to Xu Tingsheng first. For example, the person who committed himself to Jiannan now, and the person who may come to his funeral in the future are all his "gifts".
Of course, this game itself is also a "gift". He used this round to polish the jade in the rough and make a sharp start for the sword. Pushing Xu Tingsheng forward.
Xu Tingsheng didn't respond. A person's path is sometimes walked by himself, and sometimes it is pushed by people and things, times and situations.
"By the way, where's the kettle you mentioned?" When he finally left the ward, Xu Tingsheng said it as if he was chatting about family matters, "I have something urgent to do. I have to go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow. I just pass by Jiannan, so I can go Visit my cousin and take the things there by the way."
"At this time... what's the matter?"
"Sister's college entrance examination."
"Oh, that's really important. I'll ask Yu Qing to give it to you when I return it."
After he left, the old man was very proud. Since Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to ask for the kettle in the end, it meant that he had already made up his mind and accepted the Fang family's last kindness.
If he wants it, it means he is ready to pay it back.
…
Xu Tingsheng had an exam on the second day, which was the first subject at the end of the third semester, "Introduction to Unearthed Philology".
I copied the key points and notes of the exam from my brother, and memorized them all night. After the exam, I felt that I should be able to pass.
At 9:30 in the morning, Xu Tingsheng and Tan Yao walked out of the examination room together.
There has been a lot of noise about the Fang family's affairs for a while, and Tan Yao already knows about it. In this case, it was meaningless for Fang Cheng to mention breaking up or not. It's just that Tan Yao's blind trust and optimism towards Xu Tingsheng made Xu Tingsheng himself a little unbelievable. In his opinion, since Xu Tingsheng had already participated in this matter, then Fang Cheng and the Fang family must be fine.
The two came out of the twelve teaching buildings, and there were many people standing on the steps of the door.
Down the steps is a blue Maserati.
Although the car is a good car, it is rare to see it on the university campus, but at this moment, what more people are looking at is the woman sitting in the car. Woman in white shirt and sunglasses with attractive lips. Holding the steering wheel in his hand, he tilted his head to look up the steps.
She looks like Yu Feihong, but her gentleness has changed, and she has a cold face. Such a woman is usually more attractive to college boys than the little girls around her.
Xu Tingsheng and Tan Yao walked down the steps amidst discussions and the sound of swallowing saliva unconsciously.
Two people are going to go around the front of the car. Maserati moved forward a few meters, blocking the way. The two moved forward, and Maserati followed and continued to block. Whistles and booing and banter began to be heard from the crowd on the steps behind.
"Do you know him?" Xu Tingsheng was sure that he didn't know him, so he turned to Tan Yao.
"Shouldn't have done it before." Tan Yao said in a low voice.
"Hello, my name is Ling Xiao." The woman introduced herself, her voice was nice, but at the same time, there was a kind of business-like indifference.
"Lingxiao... the treasure hall?" Tan Yao joked with a smile.
"It's not that special, it's just a combination of two families' surnames," the woman said, "Are you Xu Tingsheng?"
"Yes." Xu Tingsheng said.
"I'm looking for you." The woman named Ling Xiao said.
Xu Tingsheng got into the car amidst exclamations. This was his first time riding in a Maserati, and he had never had high requirements for this. The woman didn't speak. After leaving the range of the university town, she drove the car to a very fast speed, and then even faster...
"Aren't you afraid?" She asked Xu Tingsheng the first sentence after the car slowed down.
"Not afraid. Because I know you are sure." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Why?"
"Because you should cherish your life more than I do. The Ling and Xiao families, combined... you are the only one left."
For the first time, the woman changed her eyes and looked seriously at Xu Tingsheng who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Are you twenty-two?" she asked.
"Yes. Twenty-two." Xu Tingsheng replied.
"I'm twenty-nine. You're right. I'm the only one left when the Ling and Xiao families add up. I don't remember what my brothers looked like. I was still very young at that time. But I remember my parents still It has the appearance of Uncle Shaw later."
Xu Tingsheng didn't know how to answer this sentence, he took out his cigarette and asked, "Can I smoke?"
The woman nods.
Xu Tingsheng lit a cigarette, passed the cigarette and fire, and asked, "Do you smoke?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I used to smoke, but now I don't."
"It's a good thing to be able to quit."
"It's not because of this," the woman said, "I quit smoking because I want to have children. I am twenty-nine years old, and I have promised my family and the Xiao family that I will start having children at the age of thirty. I want to start having children after this is done." , I need to have many more.”
Xu Tingsheng once again didn't know how to answer the conversation.
"Your involvement with the Fang family is actually not as deep as the outside world thinks." The woman finally got to the point, "I think you should understand that in this matter, you are not helping the good people against the bad people or having any other right position. This is just a matter that cannot be said right or wrong, but must be settled."
Xu Tingsheng smiled, "Can I take this as persuasion?"
The woman also gave a rare smile, "To be precise, yes. I don't want you to participate in this matter."
"I guess I should really be insignificant."
"Looks like it is. But I don't want to underestimate someone who's been right every step of the way. Because I can't figure out why someone's success can be so easy. We know more about you than you think."
"you?"
"Don't get me wrong. I mean us, Lazard Bank. I've been working for Lazard since I was twenty years old. We've been analyzing you for over two years and we've been eager to invest in you .By the way, we were rejected by Xingchen Technology. Do you know Lazard?"
"Of course." Xu Tingsheng said. There is such a book in his reading records, which is called "The Last Big Brother", which introduces the history of the rise and fall of Lazard Investment Bank.
"Mysterious, powerful, successful, with a long history, and great energy." Xu Tingsheng said a few words to define his understanding of Lazard.
"Correct. So, we were surprised that we were rejected."
"I don't seem to remember this. Does Lazard have investment business in China?" Xu Tingsheng asked with great interest.
"Money can go anywhere."
"… That's true."
"Our power in Yanzhou was actually not as strong as you imagined. But now, many people are willing to stand by us and help us. Because we gave the cake... the piece of land in Zhicheng Ningyuan. That piece of land Hundreds of millions? Tens of billions? You said, with so much money, how many lifetimes would they need to be corrupted?"
The corner of the woman's mouth curled up, and she continued: "I have already persuaded the family that we will not touch that land. You quit this matter."
Xu Tingsheng didn't expect that she would have such a quick and undisguised showdown.
"I think, I'd be happy to chat with you about Lazard. Or other business matters." After a moment of silence, Xu Tingsheng replied.
His refusal silenced the woman for a moment.
After a long time, she said: "From now on, I will just be a woman in charge of giving birth full-time."
"Then, should I get out of the car now?" Now that the conversation had broken down, Xu Tingsheng asked proactively.
"No need," the woman drove the car onto the highway, and said, "I'll watch a game of chess with you."
"where?"
"The First Hospital of West Lake City. Now two against one. Add the two of us... three against two."
