Chen Yuanxi still wore a polite smile on his face.
Shu Xiaoman cleared her throat and squeezed out a standard business smile. She took the business card from Chen Yuanxi with her hand and gave her business card to him, lowering her head slightly.
"Oh! You're from YH Company. You can discuss it with my assistant in detail for orders because he should be clearer about that. If you want to talk to me about something personal—" Chen Yuanxi looked at his watch and said, "you have 10 minutes."
"Mr. Chen, since I'm neither your relative nor your friend, how can I have anything personal to talk to you about? Please arrange for your assistant to discuss it with me."
Chen Yuanxi fell into silence for about three seconds before he called someone and gave an order about something. Then he asked the driver to take Shu Xiaoman to the office.
After hesitating for a short moment, Shu Xiaoman got into the car and sat in the passen
"Young master, which side are you on?" Luo Yang asked, looking at Chen Yuanxi half-smiling. "Luo Yang, if you have the guts, you can drive the bulldozer over me. If you dare not do this, shut up now! Don't let our men take the blame for you!" Chen Yuanxi said in a harsh voice. Then he helped the dean into the room. After an hour, Chen Yuanxi walked out slowly with a contract in his hand. He said, "Luo Yang, leave them a week to move out. If you would like to come back in seven days, I won't stop you." Luo Yang was shocked. He could not believe that the nail-house holder, whom he had spent a long time trying to persuade to move out, signed a contract with Chen Yuanxi after half an hour's negotiation! Luo Yang had always been arrogant, and the householders were either afraid of him or hated him, so at the beginning, they were in a mood of resistance, and they were not patient to read the files. Besides, Luo Yang's men were aggres
Just when Chen Yuanxi returned to the Chen family's courtyard in the county, he asked Zhang Dong to clean the stones in the back garden. "But that is our business," a relative of the Chen family said while smiling on one side. "Busybody," Chen Yuanxi said lightly. "Sometimes, the young master will go to play in the back garden. What if he strikes his head? As his bodyguard, I should not only block knives for him but also take preventive measures." With this, Zhang Dong returned to get the hoe. "To show your sincerity, you'd better clean the stones by your hands," Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. The few distant relatives of the Chen family who were also the bodyguards said nothing against Chen Yuanxi, but they felt anxious in their hearts. All of them knew who Zhang Dong was. They heard something about him. It was already a waste of Zhang Dong's talent when he was directly being put on the most basic but life-riskin
The YH Company. Zhao Yuan was lying in the soft seat of the president. The ashtray on the table was filled with a lot of cigarette butts. Subordinates who were here to report their work stood in a row outside the door, but none of them dared to go in to disturb him. Zhao Yuan threw away the last cigarette butt and gave a little whistle. "In any case, I have to meet this person!" Without informing Xiaoman, he booked a plane ticket and flew directly to the county's airport. As Zhao Yuan was about to get married soon, an idea struck him. So he returned to his former residence in Yangzi County and wandered around the place. Then, another inexplicable impulse seized him. Immediately, Zhao Yuan rented a car and drove to Tianfu Village. All the houses of the old government compound were pulled down to make room for a new row of small western-style buildings. The construction materials for these buildings came from the branch establish
Chen Wanxin agreed Zhao Yuan's requests without much hesitation. But it made her feel helpless and her parents very angry that Zhao Yuan had sent the wedding invitations to so many people. Things were becoming more complicated. In a new information age, a lot of things that were under control could be made public at any time. Besides, the government strengthened oversight over the collection of betrothal gifts for officials and their spending on various items. Chen Tianjiao and his wife had not expected that the news about their daughter's marriage spread so quickly half a month before the wedding. Everybody knew that the secretary of the small city, Chen Tianjiao's daughter would get married to a young general manager of a new company. Their wedding photos could be seen on G City and the small city's local webs. One of them was the daughter of a high-rank official, another one was a young, handsome and capable general manager.
While running forward, Chen Yuanxi was embraced by Zhao Yuan from behind and dragged to the back of the stage. Before Zhao Yuan could say something, Zheng Kai grabbed his collar with anger. "Zhao Yuan, You b*stard!" He shouted. Zhao Yuan did not say anything but turned his head and looked at Chen Yuanxi. Chen Yuanxi raised his head, looking at Zheng Kai, his eyes as calm as water. "F*ck! It's you, Wenxi!" Zheng Kai slowly let go of Zhao Yuan. He looked at Chen Yuanxi with hesitation. "My name is Chen Yuanxi." Chen Yuanxi corrected Zheng Kai coldly. He was extremely calm as he looked at Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai gave him a hug and shouted, "Cut the crap! Where have you been all these years? You look even more handsome!" He then pushed Chen Yuanxi away and gave him a heavy punch. "I'll deal with you later!" With that, he hurried to the stage. Everything became quiet. After a short while, Zheng Kai's voice rang out on the
Luo Yang was confused as to why Mo Qian had arranged Zhang Dong, such a dangerous person, to protect Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong was somewhat honest, but he followed both Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian's orders. Obviously, he was not loyal to Mo Qian. "You are doing the same thing. Apart from following my order, you also follow Wanxin's, don't you?" Mo Qian said slowly, "Wanxin was our only young master before, of course we would have tried our best to protect her. Now Mr. Chen's son has returned to the Chens. Although he is still weak, he is still our young master, Mr. Chen's son by blood." "Boss Mo, which side are you on?" Luo Yang could not help asking. He remembered what had happened in the village six years ago. The only road out of the village was muddy because of the heavy rain that day. Someone had reported about the landslide hazard. Luo Yang had been monitoring the village for a long time, so he had gotten the news. Under Chen T
Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin walked over to the friends and family seats and toasted to their parents and the Chen elders. Chen Wanxin's parents managed a smile and took the wine from the new couple, who had not gotten marriage certificates yet. Only very few Chen family members knew Zhao Yuan's background. Hearing Chen Wanxin's introduction and seeing Zhao Yuan's handsome face, they were very satisfied with him. Besides, Zhao Yuan was decent when he spoke. Therefore, most of the Chens spoke highly of him. It made Chen Wanxin extremely happy. Zhao Yuan's face glowed all over with pleasure. Chen Wanxin looked at him and smiled shyly, lowering her head. After a while, they began to toast to their peers. Several beautiful bridesmaids accompanied Chen Wanxin and her female classmates from university and high school. On the other hand, although Zhao Yuan had invited many guests here, he had not arranged for anyone to be his groomsmen. When the guests were trying
Chen Yuanxi hesitated for a while. Since the university had been founded by his adopted father, Lin Ziwei, it was the only immovable property to commemorate him. If he demolished the university, his father's soul could not rest in another world. With a large area of grassland and singing birds, the campus' scenery was beautiful in all seasons. However, it would be ruined soon, and Chen Yuanxi could do nothing about it, but let out a sigh. Since it had been decided, it was useless to argue. Otherwise, the others would be suspicious about him. "You're right. After all, we graduated from Jifu University. Besides, if they run it well and update it to a half state-owned half private university, the nearby buildings within ten kilometers can be taken as school district housing. In the short term, setting up a pedestrian street seems to be the best choice, but in the long term, we may benefit more by keeping the university," Zhao Yuan remarked. "Don't digress. W
Chen Yuanxi watched the videos attentively on the bed. Chen Yuanxi watched the first video. A gentle man gently bent over to put the clothes on the boy's quilt who was lying on the bed. The boy turned over in a daze, and put his arms around the man's neck with a happy smile on his face. The man kept the posture of leaning down for fear of waking up the boy on the bed until the boy's hands slipped, and fell outside the quilt. Then the man held the boy's hands, put them in the quilt, and tightly held him in the quilt. He lowered his head, and whispered something. After a while, the man got into the quilt, hugged the boy from behind, and his face was close to the boy's back... At that time, Chen Yuanxi could smell a strange smell in the room. Even the forensic said it was estrus-spurred medicine. At that time, how could Zhang Dong restrain himself and protect Chen Yuanxi? How could he guarantee that Chen Yuanxi and he could safely leave under the pressure of
The prison in the small town. Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian were arranged to meet in a separate room. "Unexpectedly, uncle Hong Xuan and Zhang Dong worked together, and they could only make Luo Yang was sentenced to death. You can still wait for further investigation," Chen Yuanxi said with a smile, "Old friend, long time no see." In front of Chen Yuanxi, Mo Qian, once rich and glorious, was still wearing his glasses of silver frame, whose both sides had been badly worn. In prison, he had no chance to silver it. "Are you here to say goodbye to me?" asked Mo Qian. "No, I'm here to let you say goodbye to yourself," said Chen Yuanxi. "What should I call you?" asked Mo Qian. "Chen Yuan Xi." "We can't go back. So if you have anything to say, just say it." "I'll give you a chance to tell me the story between uncle Hong Xuan and you. I'm afraid no one will listen to it. I
On the marshland, the foundation had been newly laid. In a short time, there would be many houses standing here. Chen Yuanxi came there and sat down quietly, imagining how Zhang Dong fell under the gun of Hong Xuan that night. Chen Yuanxi could not understand why Hong Xuan was so cruel to Zhang Dong before he died. He thought about it and suddenly thought it through. "Because he shouldn't love me. He loves me, so his life has to pay the price." "If I were a girl, maybe Hong Xuan would have hijacked him to help us." But then he fell into a deeper confusion. "Zhang Dong, why were you so stupid that you would rather die? Why didn't you choose to agree to uncle Hong Xuan? You need to be flexible when it's urgent. There would be a solution in the future! You have learned from me for more than two years, but you're still as upright as Zheng Kai!" Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly and madly. He was lying in the s
When they walked out of the door together, Chen Yuanxi suddenly asked, "Do you think I really love Zhao Yuan?" "Why did you suddenly ask such a question?" Gu Xi said, "You two have experienced so much together. All of us can see that you love each other." "What about Uncle Hong Xuan and my father?" Gu Xi shook his head and said, "He and your father are brothers. They have heroic spirit and don't stick to trifles. But you and Zhao Yuan..." "Uncle Hong Xuan can die for my father, and I can do anything for Zhao Yuan. Isn't he in love with my father?" asked Chen Yuanxi. "Except for love, there are many other emotions among people that can make them live and die together," said Gu Xi. "Then Zhao Yuan and I may not be in love." Chen Yuanxi said thoughtfully. "Wenxi, you are just making excuses for yourself! Did you fall in love with someone else?" asked Gu Xi. "I don't know. Eve
Hong Xuan was walking in a daze in the wild. He thought he might have killed the wrong person this time. The video sent by the liaison suggested that Zhang Dong and Wenxi had kissed each other across the bulletproof glass, which made him furious! What made him angrier was that he heard that Zhang Dong had been wearing rings on both hands all day long, which were sent by Wenxi! "I've warned him not to mislead my son! My only son!" The moon was bright and peaceful, but his eyes were full of bloodshot. He knew that Zhang Dong was a man of righteous ardour and was not afraid of death, but he did not expect that Zhang Dong's words before he died would make him lose his mind for a moment. He knew that prisoners in the prison sometimes had to go out to carry out their tasks to expiate their crimes. Among those people, there must be Zhang Dong. He had videoed his testimony against Mo Qian, as well as some evidence that could be searche
The men's prison in the small town. "How many years will you stay in the prison?" Chen Yuanxi tried to smile at Zhang Dong. "It's not clear yet. I think it will be eight years. That's enough. When I go out, I'm only 40 and only one tenth of my life will have passed. Besides, I'm sure my sentence will be commuted." Zhang Dong smiled easily. Chen Yuanxi was amused. He scolded while wiping tears, "You fool, how long do you want to live!" "I'll stay with you for 360 years before I dare to die," said Zhang Dong. "It wasn't you who took photos of me for Mo Qian, did you?" Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. "If you really don't doubt it, you won't ask me." Zhang Dong kept silent for three seconds and said with a smile, "After more than two years with you, I have been more or less smarter." Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi kept silent. "I knew it later. In order to create a realistic effect,
Chen Yuanxi was going to go back with Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong stood still, and several policemen came. Chen Yuanxi turned around and looked at Zhang Dong with doubts, who was standing among a group of armed police. Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong with a smile. Zhang Dong was tall and powerful. Among these armed police, he was a Triton of the minnows and his temperament as a soldier was no worse than theirs. But why did not he come to Chen Yuanxi? Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Yuanxi, I can't accompany you any longer." Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong in disbelief, who was standing alone by the huge and solemn front door of the prison. It was dusk, and the lights had gone on. Zhang Dong's face was covered with lights of different colors, which covered up his real expression. "Why?" asked Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong said with a smile, "I surrendered myself, so that I won't be sentenced too severely. When I'm judged,
Chen Yuanxi saw Hong Xuan's red and swollen eyes. "I won't interfere in your affairs with Yanyan, but I hope you will at least follow Ziwei's second will and live a good and safe life. As for you, Zhang Dong, if I know you lead Wenxi to the wrong way, no matter what you helped me, I will not let you go!" Chen Yuanxi understood Hong Xuan's meaning and asked him what he wanted to do. "There are still a few thieves who haven't been caught. After catching them, I'll go back where I came from!" Hong Xuan laughed and strode away. Chen Yuanxi rushed forward and hugged Hong Xuan. "Dad... can you not leave... can you stay at somewhere and live... you have the ability to live, don't you?" Chen Yuanxi cried in a sad voice. "I should have died more than eight years ago, Wenxi. Your father and I are sworn friends. We should go through thick and thin together..." Hong Xuan said in a trembling voice.
Two months later, Beijing. The summer has come. Zhang Dong dragged out an air water tank and set up a small swimming pool in the room. Chen Yuanxi was naked and immersed in the water. He remembered that Captain Cao had been telling him from the small town that people of the Mo Family had been caught one after another, but the one who often provided clues was He Fu, the major fugitive who had killed three people several years ago. Captain Cao had asked about the identity of He Fu several times, but Chen Yuanxi said nothing. "It's enough. You're so tired. Come here," said Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong took off his vest and rolled down. They had playing in the water for a while, and did not notice the sound of the door opening. When Hong Xuan came in, Chen Yuanxi was lying on Zhang Dong's body, pouring water on his head, and washing his hair. When they saw Hong Xuan, they immediately stopped, looking like chi
