one person's life

Chapter 334

Tang Muzhi took Xu Jingrong's water cup and put it on the stove. He found an electric kettle in the kitchen, but the plastic heating plate under the kettle was missing.Xu Jingrong frowned and said, "That... seems to be lost. Just give me some cold water."

Tang Muzhi glanced at the kitchen. The plastic plate used for heating was indeed not here, but he said, "It's okay, I'll look for it."

Tang Muzhi put his left hand behind his back, casually pinched his fingers to calculate the hexagram number, and then looked to the southeast of the living room. There was a TV cabinet with a plasma color TV placed on it. Tang Muzhi walked over and pulled out a black wire from behind the TV.

"Ah...how did you find it?" Xu Jingrong looked at Tang Muzhi and said in surprise.

Tang Muzhi smiled and said, "I have a friend, let's call him Fox. He knows a little about fortune-telling."

Xu Jingrong said "Oh" absentmindedly and moved out of the living room.

Tang Muzhi went into the kitchen and plugged in the electricity to boil water. He drank half of the cold water in his paper cup and put it together with Xu Jingrong's cup.

He did not leave the kitchen. After staring at the slightly shaking electric kettle, he turned around and leaned on the white porcelain stove, chatting with Xu Jingrong:
"We haven't seen each other for a long time... seven or eight years, right?"

Xu Jinrong clenched his hands and shook his body from side to side, as if he didn't know what to do.

Hearing Tang Muzhi's words, her mood suddenly calmed down: "Well, it's been seven years. We haven't seen each other since you left Suzhou. Are you still an active soldier now?"

Tang Muzhi shook his head: "I served as a compulsory soldier for two years and was discharged from the army. Now I work in a unit...in Jiangcheng. Did Guang Shao tell you?"

Xu Jingrong said "Yeah": "I don't meet him often."

"I heard that you went to England to study?"

"Oh, I didn't do well in college. My sister... I mean my sister. She had been living in the UK at that time. I was fluent in English at the time, so I borrowed some money from her and my brother-in-law, and I went there as a work-study student. Well, I just graduated the year before last."

Tang Muzhi smiled, "Heh, you have changed a lot in the past few years."

Xu Jingrong grabbed the corner of her skirt and said with some self-deprecation: "Well, I dressed up... you have become taller. I'm sorry, you recognized me at a glance. I... ha, I didn't recognize it at first."

"It doesn't matter. I... look at people in a special way. Besides, I've changed a lot over the years."

Xu Jingrong raised his head and stared at his face seriously for a while, then said with a sad expression: "You have just gotten taller, but actually your face has not changed much. It's just that I didn't expect to see you here."

Tang Muzhi touched his face, "Does it mean that I look younger..."

Xu Jingrong waved her hands quickly and said: "No, I didn't mean that!" Then she said with some trepidation: "How should I say, your, your eyes are brighter than ordinary people, black and shiny, more... very... feature, I should have recognized it as soon as I saw it.”

"Oh? Have I been like this before? I have no impression anymore."

Xu Jingrong lowered his head and smiled: "This is all natural, right... By the way, are you busy at work? I haven't seen you in these years."

"Well, there are quite a few things."

"Aren't you a big leader?" Xu Jingrong said with a smile: "Among the classmates I have met, among your peers, it seems that you work very early."

Tang Muzhi slowly shook his head: "No way, I still work for others..."

Xu Jingrong seemed to see a flash of light in Tang Muzhi's eyes, and wondered what he was thinking.The two reunited after a long absence, and after overcoming the initial embarrassment, the topics continued one after another.

The water boiled quickly. While Tang Muzhi and Xu Jingrong were talking, he filled her and his cups with hot water. Tang Yuan hadn't come yet.

"Guang Shao doesn't often mention you to others. You have such a good relationship with him, haven't you seen him again?"

"Oh, it's no coincidence, but people have their own lives... I went to Baijing to see Guang Ping this year. It was during SARS, and I happened to pass by. I have never seen him again."

"..."

"Ha, speaking of this, Guang Shao also gave me a horse at that time. I was still in Chengdu at that time and spent a lot of money to transport it here. We have never met, but do we have any contact with each other?"

Xu Jingrong said enviously: "At that time, everyone only knew that his father was the mayor. In fact, his second father was also a leader in the south, and later he became the leader of the Jiuer faction. He has always been the big boss in Pengcheng. It is said that there are more than a dozen It’s worth hundreds of millions.”

Tang Muzhi nodded. Guang Shao and his second father were one of Tang Sect's partners in Pengcheng. At that time, his second father was running an aviation precision mold factory. He also had an investment company under his umbrella. The business had been booming. In the past few years, At that time, a batch of equipment in their factory was vandalized, and he almost went bankrupt. It was Tang Muzhi who called Tang Men and took the initiative to connect with Tang Men and Guangshao's second father, invested a sum of money, and then helped him take care of the vandalism. People were arrested.

That incident involved four people in the circle. Later, according to Tang Muzhi's suggestion, they were sent to Nadutong to have their meridians destroyed, and they were sentenced to death by the court.

The forces behind these four people later fought against the Tang Sect for a while, but they soon died down. At that time, several companies under the Tang Sect happened to be forward-looking, which attracted the attention of high-level people. He paid special attention to the Tang Clan for a period of time.

Now Guangshao's second father's aviation precision mold factory is booming, and he has opened an electronic parts factory full of assembly lines. There is also a company that researches and produces nickel-cadmium batteries and employs nearly [-] people. Tangmen has also received feedback from the original investment. Gradually grow.Time has proven that he is a very capable man of action. Of course, he is also a very lucky person.

Tang Muzhi couldn't help but think about Nathan's commission. Then he came back to his senses and asked Xu Jingrong, "By the way, how did you and my mother meet? What a coincidence."

Xu Jingrong opened his mouth in embarrassment: "Ah, what a coincidence. I was still studying in England at that time, Tang...several years ago, after the return of Xiangjiang, didn't she move to England?

She had business dealings with my brother-in-law, and we had a good relationship with my sister at that time. We were both from the same hometown, and we became familiar with each other over time. Later, when we were chatting, we accidentally discovered that there was still such a relationship..."

Tang Muzhi smiled and said: "It's okay, just call her sister. I don't care. It doesn't matter if you want to do whatever you want... She looks very young too."

Xu Jingrong said with a sigh of relief: "Oh, she looks young already, the first time I saw her is not much different from now...why hasn't she come back?"

Tang Muzhi touched Xu Jingrong's cup and found that the temperature was just right before handing it to her.

"Well... that's it. In fact, my coming this time is also the intention of my elders. Jingrong, I'm getting married on August [-]th this year. I will be leaving soon. I hope you can tell her."

Xu Jingrong was taking the cup from Tang Muzhi's hand. Her hand shook and warm boiled water was sprinkled on the mouth of her right hand.

Tang Muzhi glanced at this scene with lowered eyebrows, took out two pieces of paper from behind and handed them to her, saying softly:

"Be careful."

Xu Jingrong nodded reluctantly. She took the tissue but did not wipe her wet right hand. She just lowered her head and did not look at him.

Tang Muzhi picked up the disposable paper cup and took a sip of water and looked out the window. The weather in Xiangjiang was really sultry. Perhaps because she hated the smell of refrigerant and mold, Tang Yuan did not turn on the air conditioner.Fortunately, the house is transparent from the north to the south, with windows open on both sides.Tang Muzhi and Xu Jingrong didn't speak or move for a while. They seemed to be living in the same photo frame, but one was leaning on the left and the other was bowing his head on the right. There seemed to be something dividing them. It gives this photo a layered sense of light and shadow that is not inconsistent.
