Chapter 495 Return
Chen Xiaozheng's method of understanding Zheng Wei was very simple, just following behind silently. It can't be said that he was a pervert, but just to see what kind of life pattern Zheng Wei had, and to find out why an ordinary company leader could be so rich. He just hadn't started working yet, so he had plenty of time, but he didn't follow her for long, just observed for three days.
It was these three days of observation that made him despair. What did he see? Living in a single-family, historic villa, driving a coupe worth millions. And he also saw Li Weijuan. Although the house was not as good as Zheng Wei's, the car was not bad at all. In addition, the most important thing was that he saw Zheng Wei and Li Weijuan together, the two of them took a child who was not walking properly and was swaying in the park.
This shock was unbearable for anyone. He thought he worked hard to succeed, and was carrying the stigma of an ungrateful villain. He thought he could finally return to China and find his youth, but he was hit hard and beaten up. He was unwilling to accept it.
He was also a smart man, and he could sort out the relationship. Zheng Wei and Li Weijuan both have children, but at the class reunion, they both said they were single. In fact, they are extremely inconsistent with their income. They wear big brands, live in a big house and drive luxury cars. This situation can only be explained by being kept.
Although he is not familiar with Li Weijuan, he also knows that she is obsessed with rich people, so he is not surprised by such a choice. But why Zheng Wei is also like this, he really can't understand.
He knows that Xu Kaiyang once pursued Zheng Wei, including at the previous class reunion. Although Xu Kaiyang said it easily, he can also feel that Xu Kaiyang has not really let it go.
If Zheng Wei likes money, she would not refuse Xu Kaiyang's pursuit when she was in college. If she needs money later, she has to make such a choice, he doesn't believe it. After all, Zheng Wei has a good relationship with people. As long as she speaks up, there will be people to help. If others don't say it, Zhang Kai can completely solve the problem. What's more, there are good sisters who are being kept, so there is no need to get involved.
After getting drunk for a while and taking a two-day break, he digested the current situation that made him despair. He mustered up the courage to take out his mobile phone, found the phone number he exchanged at the last class reunion, and called it...
In a coffee shop decorated in an elegant European style, classical piano music echoed. Someone sat alone by the window, flipping through a book in his hand, taking a sip of coffee from time to time, standing out from the crowd. She looked pretty good and her clothes were also bright, which was quite eye-catching.
Zheng Wei looked at the pretentious look outside and couldn't help but feel numb. No matter what the woman was thinking or what her purpose was, she couldn't stand this pretentious person.
Waving to Chen Xiaozheng at another table behind the woman, she quickened her pace and walked into the coffee shop, calling the waiter at the door: "A glass of orange juice, that table."
After that, she walked a few steps to the table where Chen Xiaozheng was and sat down opposite: "You are so mysterious, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Xiaozheng smiled and said: "Nothing, I just came to Shanghai to hang out, and I remembered that you were here. I happened to be on vacation today, so I wanted to talk to you."
"You are just free." Zheng Wei thanked the waiter who served the juice, took a sip of the juice and said: "If you can't, just go to the Huangpu River for a stroll. I'm leaving if I have nothing to do."
I didn't know Chen Xiaozheng very well. I only said a few words at the class reunion. Suddenly I called her to have coffee. She didn't say anything. It was good that she came. It was also because I happened to be swimming here with Li Weijuan and her son, so I came to see her.
"We are classmates after all, so there is no need to be so distant."
"You have really changed a lot now. I remember that you used to have a sullen face all day long, as if everyone owed you money." Zheng Wei shook her head and said, "But I do have something to do. If you have something to do, tell me quickly. If not, let's make an appointment later."
Chen Xiaozheng sighed and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I asked you to come here today because I want to talk to you about my worries."
"No, no, no, stop it, are you crazy? If you want me to help, I will definitely help you because we are classmates. But you have something on your mind, but you can't tell me? You haven't drunk alcohol?"
Looking at Zheng Wei's face that said, "Don't joke with me," and couldn't help it, Chen Xiaozheng shook his head and couldn't help sighing again. He looked into Zheng Wei's eyes and said, "Actually... I like you."
This was too sudden. Zheng Wei widened her eyes and couldn't believe it. She pointed at Chen Xiaozheng. Zheng pointed at himself again: "Did I hear you right? You said you like me? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Brother, we are all in our thirties, can you please stop joking like this?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Chen Xiaozheng shook his head and said: "Actually, from the time you touched my model, and then you poured out my food, making me look bad in front of so many people, I actually hated you very much at that time. Of course, I think you should feel the same way about me. But later you came to our dormitory and played cards with Zhang Kai and Xu Kaiyang, and little by little, I found that you had a special kind of happiness. You can play with anyone, laughing and joking, heartless, and I felt the sunshine in you. That's exactly what I lack and what I yearn for. Later..."
After listening to Chen Xiaozheng's story about his mental journey over the years, Zheng Wei's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that she would get a crush without knowing it. At this moment, she couldn't help but curse Lao Wang in her heart. That bastard didn't take her seriously, and she was the one who sent him to the door.
She also sighed. Just when she was about to say some polite words of rejection, she saw Chen Xiaozheng wave his hand: "You don't need to say it, I know it. I came to you today just to tell you this and let you know that this is the case." To let you know that I like you, I will choke to death if I don’t say it.”
"I understand you." Zheng smiled and nodded, drinking juice: "Didn't I also confess to Wang at the door of your dormitory building in public in public? It takes courage to say that you like it, even if you like it Wrong person."
"I don't even know when I started to like you, so what's the right or wrong?" Chen Xiaozheng pondered for a moment, then leaned forward and said, "I don't understand something, I hope you can explain it to me."
"Tell me."
"I've seen your child, and you're not married. I know you're not a money-seeking person, so... why do you despise yourself like this?"
Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment and raised his eyebrows: "Following me?"
"It is indeed wrong to do this, but I just want to know how you are doing. In fact, I came to Shanghai a week ago. I didn't come to you immediately because you and Ruan Guan didn't talk clearly before, and you were wearing He is so rich, so he has some doubts in his heart, can you understand? "
"Of course I understand. The truth is what you see. You are right. I am a bitch, but I don't regret it." Zheng Wei was not interested in explaining to him because there was really no need. She drank all the juice in the cup. : "That's it, I have something else to do. I wish you can find your other half soon. Let's go, bye."
After that, she simply got up and left, left the cafe, walked for a while to find the car parked far away, started the car and left.
"I knew I would have driven right here..." She muttered to herself, adjusted the volume of the music in the car, and started singing along with her head shaking.
Chen Xiaozheng sat there blankly, looking at the busy traffic outside the window.
Although he had released himself for two days before, his heart still hurt when he saw Zheng Wei's unwavering eyes and unwillingness to say more.
Because his disappearing shadow is exactly his youth.
What hurts him is not that he can't be with Zheng Wei, but because he has no emotional basis. He had already thought about this before returning to China. What hurts him is that the girl he has had a crush on for many years and has longed for is now a mistress who is kept by a rich man and has no status to give birth to children.
It was far from the beautiful imagination in his heart, and it ruined the simple, lively and beautiful image in his heart. This was the key that made him unable to let go.
Does he regret all the choices he has made so far? He couldn't help but ask in his heart.
No regrets! He answered himself.
In fact, everything he has done so far has nothing to do with Zheng Wei. He went abroad for a better future, and gave up Zeng Yu because he didn't want to, so he didn't feel it. The reason why I returned to China is that China is developing rapidly, and this turtle's qualifications are easy to make money.
He was just sentimental about his lost youth...
There is another sad person in the world. Although the reason is Zheng Wei, she doesn't think it has anything to do with her. To use someone's shameless words, if you want to blame her, it's her excellence. Chen Yongzheng can't forget it because of her excellence. wrong.
After driving for only seven or eight minutes, she arrived at a children's paradise. There was a swimming pool for infants and young children, which was very professional. When she arrived, Li Weijuan was holding her bag and arms, standing on the sidelines, exchanging parenting experiences with other parents, while waving to her two sons in the field from time to time to cheer them on.
Seeing Zheng Wei coming, she said hello to another woman and took a few steps to the side. When Zheng Wei approached, she asked, "What does Chen Xiaozheng want from you?"
"It's nothing, just telling me that he likes me."
"Oh...what?" Li Weijuan turned to look at Zheng Wei: "Really or not? Apart from some misunderstandings at the beginning, you two have had nothing to do with each other since then? Why did he suddenly like you?"
"Then why can't you like me? I am so naturally beautiful, so beautiful, so breathtaking, and so harmful to the country and the people..." Zheng smiled and affirmed himself, waved his hand and said, "Just like Lao Wang, didn't you say Do you have a crush on that bastard from the beginning? Even if you don’t have the money, you still have a crush on him, but you may not agree with him. You said that I confessed to him in front of so many people, you. Why do I like him? I don’t know. After all, we were incompatible with each other before that. Does it mean that we like him? It’s the same when Chen Xiaozheng likes me. He told me that at that time. While playing poker in their dormitory..."
After listening to her talk about the cause and effect, Li Weijuan felt weird: "Oh, our Miss Zheng is really charming. You said it has been how many years since graduation and the group broke up, and suddenly a crush appeared, good guy, or a turtle. Than No, it can’t be compared.”
"That's right." Zheng Wei snorted and frowned: "But in the end, Chen Xiaozheng asked me why I looked down on myself so much..."
"He knows?"
"I said it was during the previous class reunion, but I realized that I was not telling the truth. When I arrived in Shanghai, I followed him closely for a few days. Seeing that I have a house, a car, and children, and there was no news about getting married, didn't you know that? But I I didn’t say much to him, just said I was a bitch, and then left. Tell me...do you need to tell Lao Wang about this?”
Li Weijuan shook his head and said: "No, you don't know him yet? What if you tell him? What if you don't tell him? Unless we really cuckold him, otherwise he won't care. There are so many things like this It's normal. You have had no shortage of suitors over the years. The difference is that this time it's just an old classmate like Chen Xiaozheng. Think about it, in the eyes of Lao Wang, Chen Xiaozheng is different from those other suitors. What's the difference?
As for saying that Chen Xiaozheng is a big talker and spreads your story everywhere, I think it is unlikely because he can't do that. Even if he is really that disgusting, it's not a big deal. It will be too late to tell Lao Wang when the time comes. So I said, there’s no need to mention this to Lao Wang, he doesn’t care at all. "
Zheng Wei thought for a moment: "Well, you're right, then don't tell him. It's no big deal."
"But he's following you. He's not a very good person."
"Actually, it's okay. After all, our theory doesn't make sense. He's interested in exploring, so that's not the only way. Either he's following him, or he's paying someone else to follow him. There's no bad intentions, and there won't be any intersection in the future, that's all. Come on."
Li Weijuan rolled her eyes and was too lazy to talk to her...
Jinling, on the sixth floor of a bungalow in Future City, Jianye District, in the large living room, two people were drinking beside a square-sized solid wood coffee table. One is a sad person, the other is also a sad person.
Zhang Zhang looked at Chen Xiaozheng who was drinking silently: "Is this trip to the Shanghai stock market not going well?"
"Isn't it the same for you?"
"Huh?" Zhang Zhang was puzzled: "How did you tell?"
"At the same time, people in Tianya are sentient." Chen Xiaozheng curled his lips: "And you were stunned for a while just now, and it didn't go well at first glance. Did you get it right by your crow's mouth?"
"What do you mean I have a crow's mouth? Isn't that a reasonable analysis?" Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "You said I have a crow's mouth, do you mean that Zheng Wei is also with a rich man?"
"The children are both over two years old, and so is Li Weijuan. Their children seem to be about the same age." Chen Xiaozheng sighed, drank two ounces of wine in one gulp, grinned too hard, took a long breath, and Peanuts and wine: "How is Ruan Wan?"
He opened his mouth and drank a large gulp of wine: "The child is over three years old."
"I didn't ask Ruan Wan who the child was? Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
"What about you? Why don't you ask?"
"You and Ruan Guan are friends and we used to have a good relationship. Zheng Wei and I have never been friends. Where can I ask?"
"Did you tell her you liked her?"
Chen Xiaozheng nodded: "I told you, if you don't tell me, I will feel aggrieved for the rest of my life. In fact, it's not like I didn't ask her. At that time, I said I didn't understand why she looked down on me so much. She said she was just mean, and then she left with her bag. , She actually hasn’t changed much, she’s still the same character.”
At this point, Zhang Zhang already understood, or he felt very confident. Ruan Guan followed Wang Yan, and Zheng Wei and Li Weijuan also followed Wang Yan. If what he expected was true, Zhu Xiaobei also followed Wang Yan.
Including Shi Jie, that’s five women, four of whom live in the same dormitory, which is amazing...
He couldn't understand how Wang Yan did it. He didn't know about Shi Jie, but he still knew about Ruan Wan, Zheng Wei and others. If everything was true, he really couldn't imagine how Wang Yan, who always had a warm smile on his face, could make five people and women live in harmony. After all, he still remembered the appearance of Ruan Wan and the four of them at the previous class reunion. It didn't look like they were just putting on a show.
How awesome.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a lot better about Ruan Guan being ruined by Wang Yan. The method was really too high...
He shook his head, raised his glass and said, "Okay, Azheng, don't talk about that, talk about something happy. You have been resting for more than two months, and it's time to work. What are your next steps?"
"I've already contacted my friends when I go to the capital." Chen Xiaozheng looked at the layout of the house: "This house was built by Future Real Estate, and I know it was built by Wang Yan. Did you do this decoration yourself?"
Zhang Kai smiled and said: "No, this was originally a model room. You also know that Future Real Estate has a Future Design Institute. They also take on interior decoration design work and have their own brand of decoration materials, focusing on mid-to-high-end. This From the hard furnishings to the soft decorations in the house, they are all from Future Real Estate, and the design was done by Lao Wang himself. After the house was almost sold, he gave me this house. It’s not bad, right?”
"Not only is it good, Wang Yan is now the youngest architect in the country. He personally designed the house and the decoration, plus the good reputation of Future Real Estate. If I remember correctly, the average house price in Jinling is now three More than a thousand, and the price of Longteng's house is much higher than the average price, which is more than 4,000. Including the decoration designed by Wang Yan himself and the decoration cost, the price of this house is at least 7,500. Ten levels, right? This is more than one million. Wang Yan is really generous."
"That's right if you want to calculate it that way, but it was 01 when he gave it to me, and this house was built by their company, and it was all at cost price."
"I just asked you if you could sell it for one million?"
He opened his mouth and nodded with a smile: "Then you are right, it can indeed be sold. He has always been generous in his dealings."
The excitement is temporary, but sadness is long-lasting. Some pains can only be taken away by time. The two people's jokes did not last long. They talked about happy things, but they became unhappy. They drank wine and talked about the past. I don't know when they got drunk and fell on the carpet...
They thought that only each other understood their sadness, but in fact they were wrong, because Wang Yan, the instigator, also understood. After all, he has always been empathetic and knows how to think from others' perspectives.
Ruan Guan told him about Zhang Kai, and although he didn't tell him about Zheng Wei, he knew it when Chen Xiaozheng followed Zheng Wei. After all, they are all his women, so he will pay attention to their safety. Especially this time, his mission is that Ruan Guan doesn't want to die, and he always treats everyone equally, so he simply protects them.
He really doesn't care, and there is nothing to care about. Youth is full of regrets, life is full of imperfections, no one can control it, just let them be sad...
The sadness of these two people is just an episode in life, but it seems to mark the end of their youth. From now on, their youth can only be remembered.
Wang Yan's life is still the same, thirty days a month, twenty days in Jinling, ten days in Shanghai. As time goes by, the five women are getting older and older, and they are also like wolves and tigers, and at the same time they are more mature. It's not good to be too small, too big, too fat, too thin, it's the right time. Although it doesn't make him addicted, he is also enjoying it.
His business is still developing smoothly, and it is still his tried and tested method. The body-building pills harvest the world's wealth, feed back the research of various high-tech technologies, and continuously advance the technology he has mastered. Because he has an infinite hard drive in his hand, no matter whether it is useful or useless, as long as it has technical content, he can get it, then put it in, and you can't guarantee when it will be used.
Of course, he has always been cautious, and he doesn't just save all kinds of technologies to the hard drive. He still occasionally looks through those detailed data, not memorizing them by rote like before, but to roughly know what's going on. It's very important to be able to guide scientific research. After all, even if he has detailed information, it's impossible to take out a complete set of mature technologies in any world.
External forces are external forces after all. He has been in various worlds for hundreds of years, and it is indeed his father who sent him to various worlds, but he relies on himself to make a name for himself in each world. His abilities, except for a few language skills given at the beginning, are all learned and practiced by him from scratch, from not knowing to knowing, and working hard. So compared to relying on hard drives, he trusts himself more.
The Longteng headquarters, to which he has devoted a considerable part of his energy in this world, started construction in the middle of 1999, and after twelve and a half years, it was officially announced that the construction was completed at the end of 2011. Compared with the originally expected ten years, this time was two and a half years longer, and the corresponding budget of 50 billion was not enough. In the end, it was calculated that a total of 65 billion was spent, which is the highest in the world.
So much money was certainly not spent in vain. Good-looking is just its most basic viewing function. The entire architectural form is a mixture of Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as his two Wang dynasties, supplemented by modern building materials. Of course, people who don't understand it will feel that it is not much different from the Forbidden City, except that it looks more modern than the Forbidden City. But people who understand it know how high Wang's attainments in ancient architecture are.
After all, Longteng is playing with high technology. The headquarters has spent so much manpower and material resources, which is certainly not in vain. Energy saving and environmental protection were also considered at the beginning of construction. Even many technologies were developed for this purpose.
Not only Wang Yan was satisfied, but the Jinling government was also satisfied. Although there is no lack of historical heaviness and the so-called city business card, the Longteng headquarters, a masterpiece of Chinese architecture that shocked the world, is undoubtedly different. The national government was also satisfied because this was a good thing done by a private enterprise. On the one hand, the 65 billion yuan spent on the construction cannot be ignored for the improvement of various indicators. On the other hand, such a building is also indispensable for promoting Chinese culture.
It is a good thing that everyone is happy.
The money spent on the construction will never be recovered in this lifetime, but the money for maintenance can still be earned. So Wang Yan instructed the headquarters to start selling tickets for tourists to visit.
There are so many pavilions, so many large gardens, and even a zoo. If you want to see them all, you can't see them all by walking for at least ten days or half a month.
Many people are also curious and want to see what is going on with the things that cost so much money to build. Generally, this is a must-visit stop for tourists who come to Jinling, and many local people in Jinling want to see it when they have nothing to do. So the ticket sales are good, and there is no problem in supplying daily operation and maintenance.
Although after spending 65 billion yuan, looking at other construction projects is indeed a lot worse, Wang Yan's enthusiasm for construction has not subsided, and he has found fun in it.
He couldn't spend tens of billions to build a building. It wasn't because he didn't have the money, but because the construction period was not long enough. He probably wouldn't see the result. It would be meaningless to just spend money without seeing the result. So he started to concentrate on designing residential projects.
Future Real Estate has only one residential project in each city, and the name of this project is Future City. Each Future City has all kinds of supporting infrastructure, which is their advantage.
In the past, his subordinates designed all the projects, and he gave suggestions. Now he really started to return to modern residential construction and enjoyed himself...
Zhang Kai was doing well. The website was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2004. It was okay when it opened, with a normal increase, no sharp increase, and no break-even. It was also because of this that after multiple rounds of financing and dilution, Zhang Kai, who only had 3% of the shares, became a billionaire.
In the same year, Zhang Kai, who was proud of his life, successfully found his other half, a young and beautiful girl, who gave birth to a big fat boy the following year. Zhang Kai was open-minded and did a lot of business in his daily life.
Chen Xiaozheng, who was as sad as Zhang Kai, was also doing well. He opened a design office in Beijing, which gradually became a design institute and was not short of money. He did not get married, but had many female friends.
Everyone was good and could be considered successful people.
Time was like sand that could not be held in one's hand. In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve of 2020.
At the Longteng headquarters, there is a three-story ancient building facing the river. It was built by Wang Yan as his residence. At this moment, the ancient building is full of laughter.
The children are now in college, and they are all over the world. Of course, they know that their father is not a good thing, but they have been in contact with him since they were young, and they are close to other mothers, so they really can't get angry. Those who should be condemned have been condemned, those who should be dissatisfied have been dissatisfied, and those who should be beaten have indeed been beaten, so they accept it well.
The five boys each hold a mobile phone made by themselves, sitting in a row on the sofa playing the game developed by themselves, shouting and attacking, or blaming each other. The youngest girl, on the other hand, is watching her brothers play behind the sofa, and she is anxious with them. There is no way, she is too green, and she is redundant. Although she is not convinced, she has no choice. She is obviously no match for the five brothers.
Every time at this time, she can't help but think, why doesn't her father have four more children? To keep her company.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up and look at her father who was busy in the kitchen with her mother and four aunts wearing an apron.
Wang Yan was rolling the dumpling skin on the panel with a rolling pin, while Shi Jie and other five women were wrapping dumplings on the side. There were many people, different tastes, and several fillings.
Li Weijuan sighed: "Speaking of which, this is the second time our family has celebrated the New Year together in so many years, right?"
Zheng Wei continued: "That's right. In previous years, I was scolded for taking the children back to my hometown. I don't know what they were thinking this year, but they called us all here again."
She brought such an old child, and Wang Yan only showed up twice in these years. Although he was not short of money, her father was always uncomfortable and would always scold him after drinking. Most of the sisters were like this, and they were used to it.
Wang Yan smiled and said: "I didn't think much, I just felt that we should celebrate the New Year together, so I called you all together."
He was annoyed when they didn't celebrate the New Year together before. Five women, six children, buzzing and annoying. Now they are called together because he is leaving, everyone is together, and he takes one last look at the women and children.
Shi Jie interrupted and said: "It's actually good to celebrate the New Year together, it's lively."
Ruan Guan shook her head on the side: "It's good, it's good, but it's okay once in a while. If it's like this every year, my parents won't be able to do it."
At this time, Wang Yan didn't speak. Generally, when the five women get together, he tries to speak as little as possible, otherwise, if something goes wrong, these five women will scold him together. Then those little guys sometimes join in the fun, and the whole family will criticize him...
After more than 20 years together, they are so familiar with each other. Wang Yan doesn't have much to say to the women and children. He just wants to see them.
He is about to leave, but his mood is still so indifferent, and his face is still so warm. He has experienced so much, and he has been numb by now.
Of course, people are not plants, and it is impossible to be really heartless. There are still some feelings, but that feeling can't stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.
After the children played games for a while, their grandparents started calling them one after another. It was always a big difference for the old people to spend the New Year at home without their daughters and grandchildren. Mobile video is convenient, so I just need to check what the whole family is doing, and by the way, I can check on the unlucky son-in-law and listen to some auspicious words.
After hanging up the phone, I inevitably began to condemn Wang Yan. In the past 20 years, every woman and child has experienced a true reunion only three or four times. Wang Yan, a master of keeping things balanced, specially arranged a schedule and visited one family a year...
Outside the large French window, is the Yangtze River rolling eastward, and inside, is a lively and bustling criticism meeting that Wang Yan could not escape...
