Chapter 190 Abnormal?

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Chu Qian and Mu Yu got up and left after paying New Year's greetings to Qi Wei.

When Qi Wei stood up to see him off, Chu Qian smiled and said, "Grandpa Qi, Boss Ji asked me to help him deliver gifts on the way back. He said you know where that person lives."

"Sending a gift along the way?"

Qi Wei paused for a moment, and several routes for Ji Yi to get to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

Soon he locked a position and said thoughtfully: "He should be talking about Old Man Qian."

"Who is the one at the beginning of Mingshi's jingle?" Chu Qian asked with twinkling eyes.

I remember Xiaoqi and the others mentioned that person when they were having New Year's Eve dinner yesterday.

Although she didn't talk too much, she roughly guessed who it was through Xiaoqi's words and her previous understanding of Mingshi.

In Mingshi's jingle, the tiger's paw refers to that person.

The fireworks that Ji Yi set off last night were also bought from him.

"Yes, it's him."

Qi Wei nodded lightly, stopped in front of the car, and introduced the guy to Chu Qian and Mu Yu.

"That old guy is about the same age as Mrs. Qiao, and he's brothers with that old guy from the Yan family."

After indirectly telling Chu Qian and the two girls about the difficulty of that old guy, Qi Wei snorted coldly again.

"I'll tell you his address later. Just throw Boss Ji's gift to him when you go back."

"Don't talk too much to that old guy. That old guy is not a good guy. There are few people in the city who won't have a headache when they see him."

Chu Qian and Mu Yu both smiled and nodded.

And from Qi Wei's attitude, they more or less saw something.

It seems that the relationship between Qi Wei and that person is very tense.

There may not even be any hatred between the two.

Otherwise, when Qi Wei mentioned that person, his emotions would not be directly shown on his face.

What really puzzled them was why Ji Yi didn't tell them the person's address directly, but asked them to ask Qi Wei instead.

Could it be that Ji Yi didn't know that there might be a grudge between Qi Wei and that person?

Unlikely.

After all, Ming City is only so big, and there are only so many people at the top of Ming City.

They must know exactly what their relationship is.

So what is the point of Ji Yi doing this?

It's not like they deliberately let them disgust Qi Wei, right?
Qi Wei seemed to notice that the expressions of the two women were a little strange.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed softly.

While the two women looked at him in confusion, his mood gradually recovered and he explained to Chu Qian and Chu Qian with a smile.

"Boss Ji didn't tell you his address directly. He probably thought it was unlucky to mention that old guy during the New Year."

"In addition, you are planning to pay me New Year's greetings. I thought you must not know some inside information, so I asked you to ask me. After all, even I don't want to mention that old guy, but you don't know the inside information. I pinched my nose and Gotta admit it.”

"Grandpa Qi, has he done something unscrupulous? Otherwise, why do you feel that you all dislike him?"

Mu Yu blinked, the curiosity in his eyes overflowing directly.

After all, from Qi Wei's few words, they could tell how disgusting and disgusting that person was in the eyes of other people in Ming City.

However, no matter how disgusted or disgusted I was, I could only hold my nose and admit it.

This is like a mysophobic who is about to starve to death. He gets some rice and cooks a pot of porridge, but suddenly a piece of mouse droppings falls into the pot of porridge. He feels extremely disgusting.

But I was already starving to death. Even if I had a huge mysophobia, I could only hold my nose and finish the pot of porridge with tears in my eyes.

Chu Qian was also a little more curious.

After all, a person wants to be disliked by many people at the same time, but he still has to admit him even if he is disliked. This skill is really not small.

Whether it is the ability to offend others or one's own ability.

This is all the case.

"I haven't done anything unscrupulous."

Qi Wei's face was complicated, he waved his hand feeling a little unlucky, and continued to explain to them.

"It's just that the old guy stretched his arms a little too long. He would reach out and grab a handful of anything he saw."

"Let's take the tea industry where Boss Ji is working as an example. When Boss Ji and Park Dajun were fighting for control of the tea industry in Ming City, the two fought hard. Basically, both sides were hurt. At this time, the old man suddenly He stepped in and made a lot of money, and even planned to take advantage of the trend to include the tea industry under his banner."

"If Boss Ji and Park Dajun hadn't gone crazy and suddenly joined forces to fight back the old guy's outstretched hand at all costs, the tea industry would have been taken over by that old guy four or five years ago."

Speaking of this, Qi Wei did not gloat on his face. Instead, he said with a gloomy expression: "And this kind of thing is not limited to the tea industry. The old guy has reached out to all aspects of Ming City. It can be said that the old guy is relying on With my own efforts, these scattered people in Ming City have gained a little bit of tacit understanding and friendship!"

Chu Qian and Mu Yu instantly understood.

No wonder Qi Wei always felt unlucky when he mentioned that person.

It turns out that such factors still exist.

But after thinking about it, they felt that the old man was awesome.

He actually offended all the big shots in Ming City with his own efforts, and even his current life is still enjoyable.

This is more than a little bit powerful.

But soon, Muyu raised his own questions.

"Since he has offended you all, why do you still give him gifts during the New Year?"

Qi Wei burst out laughing, and then he spoke with some confusion.

"Disgusting him?"

"Thank him for making us individuals less bloody and more humane?"

"I still think that old guy knows a little bit about life and knows when to reach out and when to stop?"

"There seem to be many reasons, and I don't even know myself."

As he spoke, Qi Wei looked in one direction, reached out and touched his white hair, and sighed: "I don't know what they think, but I just hate him. I'll beat that old guy every time I see him." .”

Mu Yu shivered slightly.

Mr. Qi's resentment towards that person almost overflowed.

It seems that there are more grievances and disputes between them than imagined.

Soon, Chu Qian and the two girls left.

Qi Wei looked at the vehicles slowly driving out with a calm expression.

After he could no longer see the vehicle, he looked in the direction he had just looked at.

Last night, almost 80.00% of the fireworks set off in Mingshi were purchased from that old guy.

Whether it's Ji Yi's, my own, or someone else's, it's all.

And the old guy sold it to them at cost price.

Even though the old guy might not have lost money, at least he didn't make much, or even none at all.

This is not the character of that old guy! !
Recalling that Ji Yi did not personally tell Chu Qian and the two girls the address of the old guy, but asked himself to tell them, there seems to be some meaning in it.

In other words, it is some kind of tacit understanding! !
"It looks like he's about to die!"

With his hands behind his back, Qi Wei murmured softly.

His eyes were a little bit complicated.

"Who is dying?"

At this time, a man who was about to go out heard Qi Wei's words and paused slightly.

He looks to be in his 30s and looks somewhat similar to Qi Wei.

He was wearing a clean black suit, and his whole body exuded a calm demeanor.

His name is Qi Yan, the second son of Qi Wei.

"Who else could it be?"

Qi Wei glanced at Qi Yan and asked.

Qi Yan frowned, and for a while he really didn't understand who his father was talking about.

In his mind, he thought about all his father's friends and enemies.

Soon, several people came to mind.

Thinking of the direction his father was looking at just now, an old figure quickly became extremely clear in Qi Yan's mind.

"Isn't it possible?" He said it subconsciously, then suddenly nodded in self-denial, sighed and said, "It seems possible, Grandpa Qian is really a bit old."

"Grandpa Qian?" When Qi Wei heard his son's name for the old man, he immediately looked at him with a smile.

As his own son, wouldn't this kid know about his relationship with that old guy?

And, pay grandpa back?
This is putting yourself down a generation! !
"Dad, what are you trying to do here?" Qi Yan seemed to have no idea what his father was reminding him. He sighed and said, "Grandpa Qian is more than 20 years older than you. Let me call you Qian." Grandpa shouldn’t?”

"Forget it, the affairs of the older generation don't involve you younger generations."

Qi Wei looked at Qi Yan's expression with emotion and relief, then changed the subject and asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

"I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to your old friends."

Qi Yan rolled his eyes at Qi Wei and said angrily: "The eldest brother went to pay New Year's greetings to our relatives. The third sister is probably still paying New Year's greetings to her husband's relatives. The younger brother also took the entire family to pay New Year's greetings to his siblings' natal family. Now, I won’t go and pay New Year’s greetings to your old friends. Are you willing to go out and walk by yourself?”

"Who told you not to get married yet? If you get married, won't you stop having such nonsense?"

After Qi Wei laughed and cursed, he waved his hand to signal Qi Yan to get out of here.

Just as he turned around and walked back into the house, he suddenly stopped and asked softly: "Are you ready for Old Man Qian's gift?"

Qi Yan's eyes flashed slightly. In the past, his father was very reluctant to mention him.

As for giving gifts, let alone mentioning them.

But I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask today.After thinking for a while, he said honestly: "It's ready, it's wine."

"Instead, dig out two evergreens and drag them over to him."

Qi Wei waved his hand backhand, but there was no tone in his old voice.

"I understand." Qi Yan responded seriously.

He was also quite emotional in his heart.

Although they are rivals, they can also be considered enemies.

But at some point, some so-called hatred seems to be nothing.

Zhou family.

Zhou Tianjiao sat quietly on the balcony, looking out.

Sitting next to him was Mr. Zhou.

As for Xia Yiran and Zhou Xiaoxiao, they went to visit the graves.

"What are you thinking?"

When Mr. Zhou saw Zhou Tianjiao staring in one direction without saying a word for a long time, he immediately laughed and asked.

Zhou Tianjiao subconsciously squeezed his hands on his knees and replied: "Dad, have you been beaten by Mr. Qian?"

Mr. Zhou's face instantly darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "Yes, I was still young at the time, and that old guy beat me up because of his age."

Very few people know about this.

But it is also a knot in his heart.

After all, when I was young, I was beaten by that old guy many times.

But there is no way, I can’t beat him!
I was too young at the time, but the old guy was much older than me.

He handles himself as easily as an adult handles a toy.

It's just that this kid didn't mention any pot today.

I don't believe that this kid has forgotten. This matter is a knot in my mind.

"Yes, Dad, you were still young at the time, and you are not young now!"

Zhou Tianjiao looked into the distance with some sadness.

My father was still very young when he was beaten by Mr. Qian.

In a blink of an eye, my father’s hair also turned white!

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he seemed to understand what Zhou Tianjiao meant.

After being silent for a while, he sighed quietly.

"Yes, since I'm older, it may only be a matter of a blink of an eye before I'm buried."

"Dad, how much time do you think Mr. Qian has left?"

Zhou Tianjiao leaned on his wheelchair, his eyes calm.

Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal course of life and no one can escape it.

But when some people are really about to face that step, they may not feel anything personally, but some outsiders feel a lot of emotion.

For example, he himself is in a very complicated mood right now.

"How do I know?" Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes and then thought about it and said, "Why do you think that old guy is about to die?"

"He's a bit abnormal."

Zhou Tianjiao put his hands behind his head.

With Mr. Qian's character, he is not willing to let go of anything that can make money.

Because he never does business at a loss.

But as far as he understood the fireworks last night, the old guy basically sold them at cost price.

In other words, the old man who made money last night lost at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions! !

This is still the least.

Such an abnormal thing may be somewhat understandable to others.

But when it comes to him, it's incomprehensible.

"I'm just guessing here, why not take a look for myself."

Mr. Zhou stood up slowly, picked up the teapot on the table and started making tea.

It's just a firework, and people like Zhou Tianjiao are overthinking it. This only shows that they have too many thoughts and are not pure.

Shouldn't that old guy be allowed to be happy and want to watch some fireworks feast?
After all, as we grow older, even the stingiest people know very well that money is something that cannot be taken with you during life or death, and is far less important than happiness.

"I wish I had thought more."

Zhou Tianjiao laughed for a while and murmured softly.

He also hoped that he was thinking too complicatedly.

After all, Mr. Qian is an extremely important person to Mingshi.

If he really dies, all aspects of Ming City may be affected within a certain period of time.

Moreover, if he dies, Mingshi, which has just barely regained some calm, will be turbulent again.

Shen family.

Shen Changqing went out, and so did Shen Ping.

The person who was chatting with my mother-in-law was a man in simple clothes who looked to be in his fifties.

He is the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Youwei.

"Boss, how many days will you stay at home this time?"

After the mother-in-law and Shen Youwei chatted about many other things, she smiled and asked about his next trip.

"Mom, I have to leave tomorrow."

Shen Youwei looked at his mother-in-law with eyes full of guilt and self-blame.

"There's still one day left, which is good."

The mother-in-law raised her hand and touched Shen Youwei's head with a smile, not feeling depressed at all.

Because she knew that Shen Youwei was the busiest person in the family, and he also had the heaviest responsibilities.

Besides, it would be better for Shen Youwei to be busy.

The busier he is, the more people need him.

The busier he is, the more people he can help.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Shen Youwei held his mother-in-law's hand and felt that his mother was so thin that she seemed to have only a piece of skin on her body, and his voice became a little hoarse.

Shen Youwei was worthy of everyone in his life, except his mother.

The word "filial piety" was like a chasm standing in front of him, and he could never cross it.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The mother-in-law raised her hand and gently tapped Shen Youwei on the head, and said with a smile, "Mom is proud of you."

Shen Youwei opened his mouth, as if he was planning to say something.

But when the words came to his mouth, he always felt that his throat was a little clogged, and he forced himself to hold back the words in his mouth.

It seems that he is afraid that he will lose his temper too much and make his mother worry.

"What are your plans for today?" My mother-in-law leaned on the rocking chair and closed her eyes slightly, changing the topic.

"Stay with mom at home." Shen Youwei answered without thinking.

After he returned home, many people came to visit, but he turned them away.

Even today, there were countless people who wanted to come and wish him New Year greetings, but he sent people outside to send them away.

Because he knows very well that he has very little time to go home every year, and even less time to get together with his mother.

So these times are very precious to him.

He didn't want anyone to disturb the time they spent together as mother and son.

"How can this be done?" The mother-in-law suddenly opened her eyes, glared at him angrily, and then said in silence for a while: "When the second and third children come back later, you take them to see your Uncle Qian. , although that old guy is a bit disgusting in what he does, he is actually a very good person, especially to you three little guys."

After hearing what his mother-in-law said, and thinking of the bright fireworks last night, Shen Youwei's expression froze slightly, and the hands holding his mother-in-law seemed a little harder.

"Mom, Uncle Qian doesn't have much time left?"

The mother-in-law nodded with a smile: "I guess it will only last a year and a half, so I will go down to see my old friends."

Shen Youwei's expression instantly turned extremely pale, and his body trembled slightly.

Uncle Qian is leaving.

What about my mother?
He remembered that his mother seemed to be about a month younger than Uncle Qian.

Although the time of life and death is different for everyone.

But...my mother is also very old.

Thinking about it, Shen Youwei took two deep breaths and forced a smile on his face.

"Mom, I want to spend time with you at home."

The mother-in-law seemed to see what Shen Youwei was thinking, but her expression remained unchanged.

"There are many people who need you more than me."

"And don't worry, I won't die for a while."

"At least he'll live longer than that old guy."
