Chapter 225 Then I Don't Want It

Today is Sunday, which is a comfortable day for white-collar workers.

This is an era when 996 blessings have not yet become a trend, at least for some companies... Many white-collar workers put down their work and wandered leisurely on the street, and many fashionable girls walked into the clothing stores next to the street. Walking around, there are more cars on the road, and some places are under construction, which seems to be widening the streets-someone in the upper echelon has realized that in the next few years, there will be more people and more cars, so The business of expanding the road was done in the front, but at this stage, traffic jams have become the norm...be patient.

In a teahouse next to the street, a few tables of guests are playing cards leisurely, and there are several groups of guests who come to rest in twos and threes at the booth next to it. There is only one middle-aged man in one corner, ordering a cup of black tea, meditating quietly , out of tune with the surrounding environment.

This middle-aged man is Hou Lin.

At this time, Hou Lin was fingering the cigarette case on the table. He gently pressed the cigarette case with his right index finger, and gently moved the four corners of the cigarette case with his other fingers, so the cigarette case turned on the table. .

It looked really boring, but after a while he seemed to come back to his senses, stopped what he was doing, took out a cigarette, and lit it for himself.

Still the cheap Hongtashan cigarettes.

After taking a puff, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of mist, and then skillfully shook the ash. His nails were probably yellowish due to frequent smoking.

How should I talk to you?

Counting it, it has been a long time since I saw that child Yi Yang.

The last time I saw him was at Yi Hongyao's funeral, he was so young that Hou Lin wasn't sure he could recognize Yi Yang.

He recalled the things he had talked with Yi Yang's second uncle, Yi San.

When Yi San described Yi Yang to Hou Lin, he naturally picked everything up.

Hou Lin could also hear Yi San's palpable pride from Yi San's mouth.

According to Yi San, Yi Yang is a virtuous, sensible, and mature child. Of course, rural people, especially rural people like Yi San who have not read much, are not very eloquent. When describing It is definitely impossible to be vivid, or even concise. In addition, I was a little nervous when narrating, and there were only a few words in it.

Hou Lin listened patiently, and most of his impressions of Yi Yang were sketched out by his own imagination.

In his imagination, Yi Yang is probably a gentle boy wearing glasses. He felt that his child was too thin, and Yi Yang's well-proportioned body was almost malnourished and skinny in Yi Sankou's eyes, so in addition to being gentle and wearing glasses, he added a little height and thinness to form Hou An initial image of Yi Yang in Lin Xin's heart.

In terms of personality, according to Yi San, Yi Yang is a meek, slow-talking person who doesn't like to talk very much. The combination of these elements becomes his final appearance.

Hou Lin thought, Yi Yang has been studying all the time, and since he was young, he lost his father and mother, so his personality would probably become a little withdrawn...

In fact, he had wanted to come to Yi Yang for a long time, but after Yi Hongyao's accident, the company needed to be cleaned up, and he was also in debt all these years, so he really couldn't spare the energy and time. It was learned that Yi Yang was taken care of by someone, so since Yi Hongyao's funeral, he has not done this matter.

While thinking about it, a voice came from the bar not far away: "Hello, let me find Mr. Hou Lin."

Hou Lin's expression changed, and he looked over there, only to see the backs of a tall man wearing a tracksuit.

It was Yi Yang.

At this time, the bar counter also pointed to Hou Lin's booth, so Yi Yang looked back in that direction, and happened to see Hou Lin looking here.

Yi Yang still has some impressions of Hou Lin.

Nature comes from the previous life.

The scene where they met in the previous life was completely different from this time.

Yi Yang vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he was probably around the first year of high school. At that time, he was the most naughty period. He was studying in Qinghe No. [-] Middle School and often fought. It was Hou Lin who took the initiative to find him.

At that time, Yi Yang didn't have a good impression of Hou Lin who claimed to be his father's friend, and of course he didn't have a bad feeling... He just didn't have any feelings, and he wasn't excited when they met.

At that time, his impression of his father was far away, and he didn't care about everything about him. At this time, it was a strange thing for someone to come and ask him to call him uncle.

At that time, my impression of Hou Lin was probably, "Oh, he's an uncle", it's over.

Naturally, it is impossible to be so enthusiastic, and at that time Yi Yang could still feel some sad emotions that Hou Lin felt after knowing his recent situation... This made him very upset at the time, because it hurt his sensitive nerves, The thought at the time was, who are you, what right do you have to be sad because of my life?
I vaguely remember that when Hou Lin approached him, he also seemed to mention the matter about the land, saying that he should not be allowed to sign any agreement. Unfortunately, he was too young and had no education at that time, so he didn't understand what he was talking about.

Later, Hou Lin found himself a few times, and each time he would give some money or something. It was not until one day that Hou Lin never came again, and later, he received the obituary text message sent by Hou Lin's family. Uncle Cheap went to another place to discuss a business, but was caught in a ferry accident and passed away.

Seeing his old friend again at this time, Yi Yang felt a little melancholy.

Yi Yang smiled, smiled at Hou Lin, beckoned, and walked over.

Hou Lin showed an expression of surprise, to be precise, surprise.

On the one hand, it's the surprise at Yi Yang's image... The image of Yi Yang that he had constructed in his mind just now was basically overthrown at this moment. He has no glasses, and he is not as thin as he imagined. The only thing that can be related to his imagination, Only tall...but taller than he imagined.

On the other hand, the surprise came from Yi Yang's smile.

Naturally, Hou Lin recognized Yi Yang at a glance, because after all, Yi Yang looked very similar to his father, and that feeling made Hou Lin think of Yi Hongyao almost immediately.

However, Yi Yang has no reason to be able to recognize himself, so that smile is surprising, which does not match Yi Yang's withdrawn character in his mind.

Hou Lin imagined many kinds of meeting scenes, more scenes are: an introverted and nervous teenager, facing himself awkwardly and unnaturally... just like all ordinary teenagers of this age when facing a stranger, and then Under the guidance of the leader, complete this formal meeting...

But Yi Yang's smile is natural and generous, it can be said that it is completely opposite to the imagined scene.

After a brief absence, Hou Lin returned to his normal demeanor and beckoned him to sit across from him.

Yi Yang sat down opposite Hou Lin very calmly.

Hou Lin has been observing the eldest brother's only son since Yi Yang came over. His calm appearance made him think of his eldest brother.

"What to drink? Order casually." Hou Lin slowly pushed the drink list over, without introducing himself as an opening remark.

Yi Yang didn't look at the wine list, and said calmly, "Plain water is fine."

"Drink black tea." Hou Lin shook his head and said, "Your father liked to drink Jin Junmei the most."

Yi Yang's expression moved slightly, and he nodded: "Okay."

Hou Lin called the waiter, ordered a cup of Jin Junmei, and then turned his attention back to Yi Yang, but he didn't know what to say for a while... When he and Lu Dingsheng were hanging out with Yi Hongyao, they counted He is stupid, and he hasn't grown much after all these years.

He didn't know how to speak to Yi Yang about the words he was thinking just now.

Yi Yang was not in a hurry, and sat there silently. Since the other party asked him to come here, just wait patiently for the other party to speak.

After a pause, as if to relieve the awkward atmosphere, Hou Lin said with a smile: "The last time I saw you was your birthday when you were three years old. I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye."

Yi Yang smiled approvingly: "Time flies really fast."

Hou Lin took a deep look at Yi Yang and said, "I heard your second uncle said something about you. You are very good. If the elder brother's spirit in heaven sees you now, he will be very pleased."

"Um……"

"If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Hou..."

Yi Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "Mmm... Uncle Hou."

A smile appeared on Hou Lin's face, but he could also feel that Yi Yang didn't trust him very much.

But this feeling of distrust actually made him feel a little bit happy. This shows that Yi Yang is not the kind of child who is easily coaxed by others. It is good to have a childlike heart, but in this society, the heart of defense is indispensable. , It is a good thing to be vigilant and cautious at all times.

Hou Lin continued: "I came here today to tell you something."

Yi Yang nodded.

After a slight pause, Hou Lin began to talk about the land, basically the same as what he said to Yi San.

During this process, Hou Lin has been observing Yi Yang, but gradually he was a little surprised...

If someone tells you that you have a piece of land worth millions in a first-tier city, probably very few people can keep calm, let alone a teenager, even an adult would probably jump up in surprise, but Yi Yang is After listening so calmly, Hou Lin had an absurd thought for a while, did he not understand what it meant?
Hou Lin didn't say anything about 500 million, so according to his thinking, Yi Yang should jump up with joy, or no matter how bad he is, he should also show a surprised expression.

But there was no hint of surprise on Yi Yang's face, and even hearing behind him, the young man frowned slightly, lowered his head and bit his finger lightly, then took a sip of tea.

"In short, if someone from Lu Dingsheng comes to you to sign a contract, you must refuse." Hou Lin finished.

Yi Yang didn't answer, but thought for a while. The vague memory of the previous life, what Hou Lin said, and the knowledge of this life, slowly pieced together the general outline of the matter... Some doubts were also solved, and he looked up. Glancing at Hou Lin, he asked a key question: "So... that piece of land doesn't actually belong to me, right? At least for now, the land right is in Lu Dingsheng's hands?"

Yi Yang's tone, demeanor, and speed of speech gave Hou Lin an illusion, as if the person sitting opposite him was not a teenager, but a middle-aged man who had been out of society for a long time, and his expression became a little serious: "It's only temporary, We have an agreement."

Yi Yang was silent for a while, and asked, "Can you tell me how much money it takes to get that piece of land back?"

Hou Lin was also silent for a while, looking at Yi Yang's eyes, he sighed slowly: "500 million."

"Then I don't want it anymore." Yi Yang raised his head and suddenly showed a big smile.

Hou Lin's heart was shaken, he became a little emotional, waved his hands, and said in an unquestionable tone: "No! This is your father's legacy!"

Yi Yang shook his head, smiled and shrugged: "It's not anymore, and according to what you said, uncle, the current situation is that we want to find someone to take over the business, but we can't find anyone. If we can find a big boss, let him spend Buy the land at a market price of 800 million, and we will pay the debt with 500 million, and we can make a little profit from the rest... But such a person can’t be found, so it’s just that, can we get that land back? , It all depends on Lu Dingsheng's mood."

Hou Lin said firmly: "If you are worried about money, don't worry, I will find a way for money!"

Yi Yang continued to shake his head: "Uncle Hou... If what you said is true, I'm sorry, I know it might be impolite to say so... Well, if what you said is true, then these two pieces of land are actually from the same In the beginning, you have been silently giving, and it has nothing to do with me..."

Hou Lin shook his head seriously: "No, you are wrong. If it wasn't because you are the son of the eldest brother, do you think that Lu Dingsheng would have agreed to invest in the acquisition? He also did it for the sake of the eldest brother's face, but he He probably didn’t expect that the value of that piece of land began to appreciate later, and he bought a few abandoned factories nearby by chance, and after making mature land, the area was connected into one, and this pattern was formed.”

Hou Lin sighed: "It's just that his original intention back then has probably been wiped out with the value of the two lands now."

Yi Yang can understand the logic.

Let's put it this way, now that Lu Dingsheng owns those two pieces of land, he can connect the area he bought, and the development value of the whole piece of land will increase by at least a few percent, so the value of those two pieces of land to him is far more than 500 yuan. Wan, in the face of huge interests, even if he can reminisce, a company is often an interest group, and it is not only his company, and others may not agree.

Yi Yang shook his head, and did not intend to continue this topic. According to Hou Lin, this matter is really beyond his control at present.

But at this moment, Yi Yang still didn't fully trust Hou Lin. He took a sip of tea and changed the subject, "By the way, Uncle Hou, what kind of person is my father?"

"Big brother?" Hou Lin showed a look of reminiscence, and smiled after a while.

"Brother, he is the most daring business genius I have ever seen."

Yi Yang's heart moved, and he asked again: "Can you tell me your story?"

Hou Lin laughed heartily, obviously very happy to talk about this topic, he took a puff of cigarette, let out a long sigh, and said, "When I met my eldest brother, I was still a mason..."
