Chapter 108 Reunion again

The meeting place was in a villa area with beautiful scenery. When Zhong Shi arrived here in a taxi, the taxi driver who was kind and talkative did not forget to joke: "Brother, okay! This is the standing committee building in the city. , it seems that your relationship is strong enough!"

   "Really?" Zhong Shi was shocked, but he didn't say anything, and got out of the car after a few perfunctory words.

   Walking to the wall, there are two soldiers with live ammunition standing at both ends of the gate. The steel guns in their hands emit a cool light in the sun, which makes people feel shuddering at first glance.

  After interrogating several times in turn, the soldier contacted the people inside again by phone, and then seriously told Zhong Shi the visitor's instructions, and then let Zhong Shi go in.

  At this time, Zhong Shi had already vaguely felt that his aunt might be doing quite well, even much better than expected.

There are more than a dozen villas here, each of which is a two-story bungalow design, each of which is different. There is a long green belt between the villa area and the outer wall, and a row of maple trees are planted in the middle, which is ingenious. Separate the villa from the outside world.

  Building No. 7 is located in the middle of the villa area. Zhongshi walked for fifteen minutes before reaching the front of the house. He looked around, and the first thing he saw was a small garage with a rusty jeep parked in it. The appearance of the car was old, except for the jeep, it was ordinary green grass and some Flowers and plants.

  Zhong Shi rang the doorbell. A few minutes later, a fifty-year-old woman opened the door. After looking at Zhong Shi, she asked very vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

   "I'm looking for Aunt Wu, we have an appointment." Zhong Shi quickly straightened his back and forced a smile on his face.

   "Is it Xiao Zhong? Come in quickly!" After hearing this, the aunt called Zhong Shi to come in, as if he had been greeted earlier.

The interior decoration of the villa is not as luxurious as imagined, it is just a very ordinary decoration, but there is a pair of regular script calligraphy on the wall, which reads "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later", which makes the huge living room more beautiful. very serious.

  Zhong Shi sat down on the sofa in the living room, and the serving aunt quickly brought a pot of tea, and then stepped back lightly. Zhong Shi picked up the tea and took a sip, feeling that the tea leaves are very ordinary, and it seems that this family is still clean, otherwise they would not serve such ordinary tea.

   After waiting idly for ten minutes, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs. Zhong Shi quickly stood up and looked at the person who was walking down the stairs slowly. This was a middle-aged woman who still had a charm, dressed in pure white clothes, but she wore a pair of huge sunglasses on her face, which made Zhong Shi Can't see her face clearly.

   "Auntie?" Zhong Shi asked tentatively.

  The woman didn't answer, but gracefully pointed to the sofa and put aside the topic: "Sit down."

  Zhong Shi quickly sat down, picked up the cup on the table and drank in small sips, concealing his inner panic. Before coming here, he had also simulated the scene of meeting several times in his mind, and prepared several sets of speeches, but now, he has nothing to say.

When the two were facing each other in silence, there was a sudden noise from upstairs, and then a voice came over: "Auntie, is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death. Hey, there are guests at home." Ah, why is it you?"

  It's past nine o'clock in the morning. The speaker must have just woken up and hasn't had breakfast yet. However, when the speaker saw Zhong Shi, he suddenly let out a strange cry, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

   Zhong Shi followed the sound and found that it was his acquaintance, Zhang Wei who had met on the bus earlier. He was wearing loose pajamas and staring at Zhong Shi downstairs.

"Hey, buddy is not here to find a job, is it? No, how could there be such a young official! Could it be an investor from out of town? That's not right. Could it be that buddy is here to find me? But how do you know that I live here?"

  Before Zhong Shi could say hello, Zhang Wei’s words came out like a machine gun, causing the woman opposite Zhong Shi to lower her voice and shout displeasedly: “What’s the matter with you? Is that how you treat guests?”

   "Brother, what is your background?" Zhang Wei giggled, and regardless of the middle-aged woman's reprimand, he sat down beside Zhong Shi and said affectionately with his arms around his shoulders.

  To his great surprise, Zhong Shi stood up respectfully and nodded slightly: "Cousin."

"What did you say?" The expression on Zhang Wei's face froze immediately, he patted his own face in disbelief, then stood up again, touched Zhong Shi's forehead, and said with a dry smile, "Brother, what's the matter with you?" Could it be something wrong with his brain!" After that, he pointed to Zhong Shi and said to the middle-aged woman who was watching coldly: "Mom, what's wrong with him?"

   "Sit down!" Zhang Wei's mother patted the coffee table and said very seriously: "He is such a big person, why is he still so surprised, be honest!"

   Zhang Wei realized that the atmosphere was not right at this time. He looked suspiciously at his mother who looked worried, and then at Zhong Shi with a sincere face, and sat down silently to drink water with his head down.

  The three drank tea like this for a long time, and Zhang Wei was the first to lose his temper, and asked first, "Mom, what's going on? Why did Zhong Shi call me brother?"

Zhong Jianli, no, the middle-aged woman named Wu Jianli sighed lightly, took off her huge sunglasses, revealing a face that resembled Zhong Fangzhuo, and then replied a little helplessly: "It's a long story, it's not you Children can understand, so don't ask me about it." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked into the distance, with some tears in his eyes.

  Zhang Wei stopped asking questions, turned his head and said to Zhong Shi in a low voice: "Dude, can you tell me?" Zhong Shi shook his head with a wry smile, picked up his teacup and remained silent.

  After half a day, Wu Jianli said leisurely: "The thing is like this..." Then she narrated the events of the year.

Zhang Wei never expected that his biological mother had such a tortuous life experience, but it was all the grievances of the previous generation, and he didn't feel much after hearing it. After Wu Jianli finished speaking, he turned his head, half joking, half joking. Seriously complaining to Zhong Shi: "So we are really cousins, what's the matter, is your cousin trying to take advantage of our family now? I think you are quite rich, buddy, what are you doing now?"

   "Do some small business, securities, I wonder if you understand?" Zhong Shi rubbed his hands with a forced smile on his face.

"Is that so? Is it stock trading? Otherwise, let's get together and make money together. After all, we are also cousins!" Zhang Wei hurriedly hit the snake with a stick when he heard it. stand up.

  Zhong Shi just smiled and didn't answer. Just kidding, with his current wealth and status, how could he casually partner with others? However, with a thought in his heart, he suddenly thought of a possibility, which is to find a suitable agent in the mainland to get a share of China's economic development in the future.

   Zhang Wei in front of him is a good agent.

   It's just that the document on the business of cadres' children has just been issued this year, stipulating that the children of cadres at all levels are not allowed to engage in business activities. Looking at the current situation of the Zhang family, it may be difficult.

However, Zhong Shi quickly thought that he could set up a company, recruit Zhang Wei in as an employee, and take charge of the daily work. identity to enter the Mainland.

   "Auntie, what does uncle do now?" After thinking for a long time in his heart, Zhong Shi asked.

Wu Jianli was still immersed in the memories of the past, and didn't react for a while, but Zhang Wei reacted quickly, and said: "The old man is now a deputy mayor, and he is very crowded now. He probably will stay here soon. I can’t go down anymore, maybe I’ll be sent to a certain city outside. What, why are you asking this? How about making money together?”

   "Really? Where might it be transferred?" Zhong Shi asked calmly.

   "Jiangdong City! Hey, I said buddy, why do you keep changing the topic?" Zhang Wei was upset, and pushed the bell stone violently, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Okay, Xiaowei, don't mess around!" Wu Jianli came back to her senses, glared at Zhang Wei, and then said to Zhong Shi: "Who, go back and tell the old man for me, and let me think about it. Well, let’s go see his old man again.”

   After all, it is a bloodline, and coupled with the complicated situation back then, no matter how many grievances Wu Jianli had, he could not blame Zhong Fangzhuo's arrangements back then. This is the only thing she can't swallow now, but after hearing that the old man became sick from worry, the resentment in her heart has dissipated a lot.

Zhong Shi nodded, stood up and took out a square box from his bag, and handed it to Wu Jianli respectfully: "Auntie, I didn't make any preparations at the beginning of the coming, this is the point of me as a junior. Mind."

Before Wu Jianli could refuse, Zhang Wei snatched the box over and said while unpacking it, "Oh, we are all a family, why are you being polite? Ah..." Suddenly he let out a strange cry and stared blankly at the box. The things in the box did not say a word for a long time.

Wu Jianli stretched out her head to glance into the box, and she was stunned immediately. She saw a silver-white necklace lying quietly in the dark black box, with a fingernail-sized diamond inlaid in the middle, shining dazzlingly. .

"Good guy, is this a real diamond?" Zhang Wei came back to his senses, took out the necklace and scratched it on the glass coffee table, "Dude, this can't be real, right? You won't fool us with a fake one, will you? "

  His movement was so fast that Wu Jianli on the side didn't even have time to stop him, when he heard a piercing sound of "squeak", and a ten-centimeter-long white mark suddenly appeared on the originally clean glass coffee table. Zhang Wei picked up the necklace again, put the diamond under the light and observed it carefully, and found that the top of the diamond was still as smooth as new, without any scratches.

   "Okay! Dude, does this necklace cost a lot of money?" Zhang Wei was full of joy, looking at the huge diamond again and again, and couldn't put it down.

   "Not much, a few million!" Zhong Shi's answer immediately made Zhang Wei uneasy, his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the necklace to the ground.
