side door

Chapter [-]

In the evening, the whole family gathers for dinner, not to mention that if the place is too small, it really cannot accommodate so many people.After eating, Shen Lang didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, he directly pulled out a small iron bucket from the coffee table, and took out a cigarette from it, because at this time his little nephew was no longer here, So Shen Lang didn't care about it, he ordered it for himself directly, and then sat on the sofa again, holding the newspaper that he had read several times, and leisurely read it.

Everyone has noticed Shen Lang's careless behavior. If it was someone else, everyone would be a little surprised, but if it was Shen Lang, no one would feel it was very strange. I even felt that if Shen Lang didn't do this, it would be beyond everyone's expectations!Ma Zhenggang looked at the actions and behavior of his grandson, but he didn't express much, and he didn't want to have any exchange of fire with his nephew in the first lunar month.

But now he can see that the status of his grandson in this family has become increasingly important, even surpassing his eldest son, but now he is only ranked below himself, the second child and his father , Why is it ranked below his father? The main reason is that it is his father. Although this guy is not so enthusiastic about the people in his family, he treats his father and brothers and sisters very differently. Of course This is also relative, in my opinion, the little bastard cares most about himself.

After sitting in the living room for a short time, everyone filed into grandpa's study room, but this year was a little different from previous years. Besides my uncle, uncle and father, there was also my elder brother among them. , but I don't know if it was to maintain balance, or because of other reasons, my uncle's cousin Tianyu also followed in, but it must be the meaning of my grandfather.

After Shen Lang came in, he looked at the elders who were already seated, and ignored his cousin and elder brother. He came to the familiar position and settled down. As for his cousin Tianyu and elder brother, they just stood there and watched. Looking at Shen Lang who was sitting there, Ma Tianyu and Shen Zheng glanced at each other. The two had really never participated in such a family meeting before.In the past, after the family meeting was over, they would be called in to have a separate conversation.

When I came in today to look at the situation inside, I was somewhat surprised. After all, Shen Lang and them were of the same generation, but Shen Lang could sit there now. Sitting down was not a trivial matter. He at least It means that Shen Lang has been recognized by the family. They also knew about this situation before, but they were somewhat touched after seeing this situation.

But the two of them also understand in their hearts that they will sit down in the future, but if they can really sit down like Xiaolang, I am afraid it will take five years at the shortest. This is still the best situation, but from now on Looking at it, five years is still a bit short, and it takes longer for the two of them to sit down and better secure their position. In this regard, there is no comparison between the two of them and Shen Lang, the younger brother. 'sex'.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the family meeting was over. The children in the family also met with their grandfather. Shen Lang stayed outside and did not leave. When he came out just now, his grandfather He had already deliberately greeted himself, and he seemed to have something to tell himself, so after seeing everyone come out, Shen Lang walked into his grandfather's office again.

Seeing that his grandson had no intention of speaking, Ma Zhenggang asked directly, "Xiaolang, how are you thinking about Xinsi's affairs? Do you have any plans? I think you have been a little honest in the past six months. It’s so boring! Do you want to find something for you to do, you are not yet 30 years old, isn’t it too early to start retirement now, what do you think?”

Instead, Shen Lang took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarillo from it, and gestured to his grandfather. Seeing that the old man didn't seem to be interested, Shen Lang picked out a cigarillo from the inside. , After picking up the little cigar in the middle of the air, he still had time to close his cigarette case, so he stretched out his hand to catch the little cigar, took a deep breath after lighting it up, "Grandpa, this matter is actually my I have no interest in it. I was forced to do it a few years ago, and it was a bit of a "ticket" nature. Now I finally ran out of it, and it was too late to escape. I don't want to go in again. intent and intent.”

"Hmph, it's your boy's nature, but you should also know that you still have a lot of tricks in your hands. It's not so easy for you to run away. The main reason why you didn't continue looking for you this time is because There is a certain amount of pressure over there, and they don't want you to come back. Judging from the current situation, the operation of the new company is still good. I hope you can think about this issue carefully, even if it is not for the sake of the family. Think about it for the sake of the country."

Shen Lang took another deep puff of the cigarette, but this time he didn't continue to pinch the cigarette in his hand, but put it in his grandfather's crystal ashtray, and saw that the wet paper inside was stained with stains. Some soot, stared at it for a while and said calmly: "Grandpa, what you see will never be the most real thing, there are too many ways in it, it is not a particularly difficult thing to fool you .”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not very interesting. It's just a reminder to grandpa and you old man. As for whether you tell Grandpa Su that is your own business, I don't want to participate. Judging from the current situation, the stability of the new company is overwhelming, and everyone will do their best. However, how long this situation will be stable is something to be discussed. The new company seems to have made money this time, and it seems to be more than other investments, but after careful calculation, all expenditures If everything is thrown out, how much money will be left. Grandpa, don’t forget that since you can’t make much money in foreign capital markets, and the new company needs a lot of money to build a stable situation, So where does the money come from?"

Ma Zhenggang's hands were tightly held together again, and everyone who knew him knew that this was a sign of his anger, "What do you mean, brat? Tell me these things!"

"It's not very interesting. I just hope that grandpa will not be deeply involved in the future. The situation of the new company can appear today. I think that although you don't have a positive attitude, grandpa, at least you have maintained a neutral attitude. I think the same is true for Grandpa Su. In this way, it can be seen from the fact that there is no change in personnel. This chess that could have killed them has been taken away. Grandpa, have you ever thought that if you reverse the army in the future, grandpa, you are in Where, the same is true for Grandpa Su, this is what I want to say."

"You want me to do it, that's not a very good way of saying it!" Of course, Ma Zhenggang was very clear about the purpose of Shen Lang's own grandson. It is true that what he said was right, but his personal purpose in it was too obvious , but will put himself in a very dangerous position, this is not a very good signal for his own rights and attitudes, this is completely using himself, and in the process, his little bastard did not pay anything, this But not in line with their own intentions.

"Grandpa, if you don't do it, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future even if you want to do it. In the future, that side can completely throw the new company to Grandpa Su. As a right ally of Grandpa Su, at least we have maintained a certain tacit understanding on this issue. You will share this responsibility together, and no one can let the two of you bear this responsibility alone. As long as Grandpa Su can't escape this responsibility, then you, Grandpa, can't escape this relationship either. Of course, there is one thing I haven't explained, that It’s the power background behind me, they have abandoned me now, this doesn’t mean they don’t want to get back into this relationship with me, anyway, I’m Shen Zheng’s younger brother.”

When Ma Zhenggang heard these words, his face was already ashen. Although he said that the first month had not passed yet, his anger suddenly came up again, and he heard him almost gnashing his teeth and said: "Xiao Lang , are you threatening me? You should know what kind of temper I am. "

"Grandpa, I think you misunderstood." Shen Lang was very relaxed, and he picked up the cigar and took a puff, "Is there any benefit for me to threaten you? Is there any benefit? No, for me There is no benefit or any benefit, and it may even drag me into it. Am I so stupid? I just want to analyze the power of it for you, grandpa. Although you are high in the temple, grandpa, But there are some things and things that you can’t get in touch with. Even if you do, it’s almost false because your position determines it. Maybe it’s a little presumptuous to say that if your old man is not my grandfather, I won’t bother to care about it. It has nothing to do with me."

"So you're doing it for my own good? Should I thank you?" Ma Zhenggang smiled angrily, but his eyes were looking around to see if he could find something convenient, and he beat this one hard. The boy paused, this guy really made himself too angry.

"Thank you grandpa for exaggerating. In fact, there is another benefit to doing it now. I don't know, grandpa, have you ever thought about how the second uncle should arrange it if you do it two years later, and now the second uncle is still in idle work. No matter how you transfer it, it will still look like this. Although my brother has already made his mark now, but the difference is too far away, basically there is no need to think too much. If grandpa slows down, the second uncle will really be delayed Now, it won’t be so easy for him to get up again. At that time, Grandpa, you don’t seem to have any rights and resources to replace. In that case, you need to face two situations. One is that it’s good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. One day you will have to face wind and rain, but after all, you have grown up with peace of mind and have your own resistance to wind and rain.

Ma Zhenggang took a deep look at the grandson sitting in front of him. To be precise, he was also very shocked in his heart. It is not that he himself has not thought about this problem, but he has never realized that his grandson is actually there. It's really scary that such a big situation has been laid out under my own nose, but I didn't find anything, and I didn't even feel it at all.

At the beginning, without my consent, I placed Yun in such a position. I thought it was to encourage my son to improve himself, but now it seems that this is completely a part of the whole process. It's just a step, but he concealed it too well, so that anyone who knows the situation will have the same idea, but after talking with him today, I realized that the situation is more than that.

Take one step and see three steps by yourself, it seems to be very powerful.And this kid seems to only care about the immediate interests, but no one can see that the steps he takes in front of him may seem like a joke, but every step is on the vital point. , Such a talent is really powerful, why didn't I see it before?

Looking at the dazed grandfather, Shen Lang just picked up and put down his cigar, and soon the cigar was exhausted. Shen Lang pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, making a creaking sound.On the other hand, Ma Zhenggang seemed to be awakened suddenly by the creaking sound, and his face became much warmer, "Xiaolang, after so many years, this is probably the first time you're showing your true colors! You are really there, although you didn't say it, but I think you treat everyone as pawns on your chessboard, even me, an old guy, right!"

"Grandpa, what do I hear from you? It seems that the taste of praise is not much, but the intention of the warning is very obvious. I am very clear about what I am, so I have been able to locate myself very accurately over the years. , Grandpa, what do you think? It's your own business, Grandpa, so I won't get involved." After finishing speaking, Shen Lang raised his arm and looked at the watch on his wrist, "Grandpa, if there is nothing wrong If not, I'll go back first, and you should rest too! After all, it's getting late."

Ma Zhenggang stretched out his hand to stop Shen Lang from leaving, "I think you should wait a bit! I have a deep doubt about you now, you kid can actually plan things into success under my nose This way, I really didn’t think of this. I rearranged my thoughts just now and found that your things are so logical. This is simply unbelievable. I really want to see it now. Look, if you can give full play to yourself, what effect will it have?"

"Give full play to myself?" Shen Lang shook his head and laughed, "Let's not talk about whether it's okay or not. The question is, are you really sure, Grandpa? I don't even know if I really use my full firepower. What kind of result will it be? It’s not that I didn’t use full firepower before. The situation created that time still has lingering fears, which is too good. Grandpa, you know that I am more afraid of death. I am not only afraid of getting burned, but also afraid of putting I was killed by the explosion, so it’s fine to talk about it, there is no need to take it so seriously.”

"Hehe, I really don't know whether I should smile at you with timidity or cautiousness. If I expect you well, if you go out from me, you will soon cause yourself some trouble Right! Are you really sure that you can get yourself into this trouble?"

Shen Lang smiled, somewhat shyly, "Grandpa, you can wrong me a bit, I've always been very honest, but being honest doesn't mean that if I'm bullied, I'll suffer. From another aspect, I am quite reasonable, but the problem is that sometimes someone doesn’t tell you this truth, and I have nothing to do with it, Grandpa, don’t you think so?”

"Sophistry!" It might feel a bit unsatisfying, but Ma Zhenggang said directly, "It's pure sophistry, I now find that your eloquence is really extraordinary! But I'm a little suspicious, your kid's Where did you learn these things? I feel very strange. Although I don’t have a solid understanding of your life trajectory, it’s not a problem to say that you know the first level. I admit that you worked very hard , In this point, the people I come into contact with count as one, and it is rare to reach your level. I am also a little ashamed in this aspect. There is nothing to be ashamed of, but this is not something that you can grow up to now. to this extent."

"Reading books, reading history books, the history of China and even the history of the world can be said to be a history of struggle, more precisely, it is a history of struggle for power. No matter at any time, this exists, up to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors or even earlier. , down to the present and even the future, more generally speaking, up to the heavens, down to the common people, have never escaped from this struggle. As long as you read it carefully, you will find that history and even the future are in line with the development of the times , but it follows a law, that is to say, the struggle will never stop. If the struggle stops, I think human beings will be on the verge of that. It’s hard to say whether it’s a rule or not, but grasp some common features ’, this is not a very difficult thing.”
