I didn't do much in school, but time flew by quickly. It was already June when I returned to Hanning, and four or five months had passed since Hou Lin's commercial plaza was sold.

When we arrived at the airport, it was raining outside.

Jiang Lili received Yi Yang and saw that his mood was not high, so she did not go up to tease him as usual, but stood quietly in front of him, helped him tidy up his clothes, and said, "What should we do next? "

Yi Yang thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to Qinghe. I want to visit the grave."

Jiang Lili was a little surprised, feeling that there seemed to be something brewing in Yi Yang's eyes, and nodded obediently: "Yeah, but I didn't drive my mother's car today."

Yi Yang smiled: "I like my sister's Beetle because it smells like you."

"Poor talk." Jiang Lili also laughed.

Jiang Lili sat in the passenger seat and once again listened to Yi Yang talk about the past about his father and the Yi family. There were no grudges and entanglements. They were all warm and simple trivial things. It sounded very touching.

"Actually, I often forget what my father looks like. His appearance in my memory has been completely blurred, leaving only a rough outline. You know, this is really a scary thing. It turns out that people can really remember their loved ones. Of course, the reason why I forget my appearance is that I am too young. Some people say that when the last person in the world who remembers you also forgets you, you are really dead."

"Yi Yang..."

“I can’t remember many things about my father, but a few of them left a deep impression on me. I remember that when I was very young, maybe two or three years old, my father gave me a hat, but I didn’t like it. I threw it into the river. Some people said it was impossible. It is impossible for people to remember such a small thing, but I just remembered it, and I remember the emotion at that time was very happy. Thinking about it now, in fact, my father rarely Buy me a gift, that hat may be one of the few things that I will miss later..."

"Another time, I have forgotten how old I was. He ate a bowl of instant noodles. I was very greedy, so he picked up the noodles and gave me a bite. I can still recall the taste now. It was so good. I ate, but he only gave me one bite, then he patted me on the back and asked me to go away. He said if you want to eat noodles, go find grandma to cook it for you. I ran to find grandma and said I wanted to eat noodles. Grandma cooked me a big bowl of noodles, and I was so angry that I cried for a long time...because the taste was wrong, haha..."

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and looked sad, while Yi Yang laughed and said: "Actually, for a period of time, I often looked at the clouds in the sky. At that time, I believed that my father was watching me in the sky, and I felt If I have any doubts or worries, I will ask the clouds in the sky.”

"Like, when am I going to get out of this life?"

"Like, when will my mother come back?"

"For another example, should I beat up that fat man who scolded me for having a mother but not a father?"

"It's a pity that Yun didn't answer. I won't ask anymore..."

Jiang Lili squeezed Yi Yang's hand on the gear lever.

Yi Hongyao was buried in a place close to mountains and rivers. The car couldn't get up to a certain place, so he could only walk up.

Yi Yang did not tell his second uncle and the others when he came back this time, but it was quite clean. He parked the car and put on his bag. Jiang Lili also tied her hair into a ponytail and put on a baseball cap, and the two of them started walking towards the mountain.

It was already afternoon when we arrived. I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t rained in Qinghe County to begin with, or if it’s because the rain has stopped during the time we drove here. At this time, the weather was pretty good, with clouds floating and the sun shining. It’s just that This season in Yanzi Township, although there is sunshine, it is not too hot. Jiang Lili only wore a short-sleeved shirt, but she actually felt a little chilly.

The two walked for more than half an hour and climbed up to a small platform. A small road appeared in their field of vision. On both sides of the road were crooked bushes and overgrown weeds.

Yi Yang pointed to the front and said, "Just walk a few hundred meters further and you'll be there."

"There is no cemetery in the countryside. Ask a Feng Shui master to calculate the location and burial time. After the wedding banquet, people who come to help will carry the coffin to the position for burial. Unless immediate family members, cemeteries are often not gathered together. ." Yi Yang said as he led the way forward. With a knife in his hand, he cut off and kicked away some shrub branches that might affect Jiang Lili's walking.

Jiang Lili followed without saying a word, feeling solemn.

Not long after, we arrived in front of Yi Hongyao's tomb. The nearby bushes had been cleared, and his tomb stood quietly in an open space with no other curtains around it.

Because the second uncle’s family comes to visit the grave every year, there aren’t many weeds.

Yi Yang said with a smile: "Every time I see my father alone, I think that he must be very lonely."

The sun was warm. Yi Yang pulled Jiang Lili over and stood in front of the tombstone. Then he took out a bouquet of white chrysanthemums from his bag and put it down.

Jiang Lili stared at Yi Yang's father's tombstone for a while. The air quality here was very good, and there was often rain and fog. There were even green moss growing on some of the stones under the tombstone.

"Dad, she is Jiang Lili, and she will be your daughter-in-law in the future." Yi Yang spoke slowly.

Afterwards, Yi Yang took Jiang Lili and bowed deeply several times.

Yi Yang smiled sadly, raised his head and looked at the sky. There was a wind blowing, rolling up large swaths of clouds.

"Yi Yang..." Jiang Lili couldn't help but ask, "Why suddenly..."

Yi Yang slowly put away his smile and said, "It's a very important decision. I want to come here to find some strength."

Jiang Lili blinked: "Really..."

Yi Yang nodded.

But now, he feels that he is powerful enough.

After getting back to the car, I didn't stay too long and rushed back to Hanning City without stopping. It was almost dark when I arrived.

Yi Yang sent Jiang Lili home and said, "I want to use the car and come back later."

Jiang Lili was stunned, but she didn't ask any more questions. She knew that her man had something to do, and it was not a small one. At this time, all she could do was to support him silently behind him, so she said, "Okay. come back earlier."

Yi Yang smiled and drove away.

The destination is the city center hospital.

He smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. In fact, this plan had already taken shape in his mind a long time ago. Combining the judgment of the future trend, Hou Lin's character, and other factors, and constantly deducing and calculating, it should be relatively safe, but due to the With 50 million in hand, I still feel uneasy when I have to make this decision... Even today I made a special trip to my father's cemetery, which seemed to make this matter more tragic.

Really...

Actually it's not necessary.

With this in mind, Yi Yang accelerated the accelerator and quickly arrived at the central hospital.

Having already contacted him on the phone in advance, Yi Yang parked the car and walked downstairs to the inpatient department. Xiaolong had been standing there waiting for a long time.

Yi Yang's expression became serious: "How is the situation now?"

Xiaolong sighed and said, "It took more than twenty stitches, but there is no other danger. Xiao Wei and my sister-in-law are both in the ward at the moment."

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Let's go, take me up."

While waiting for the elevator, Xiaolong looked at Yi Yang who was hesitating to speak, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since this time... Brother Lin, he has been under a lot of pressure... Probably no one has ever told you, well, I am cultural. It’s limited. It’s okay for me to run errands and do some physical work, but I can’t help Brother Lin with this kind of thing. You are different. Although you are young, you are indeed much more knowledgeable and discerning than me. Much higher. If you can, I hope you can help Brother Lin..."

Yi Yang looked at Xiaolong and shook his head: "I am not an ungrateful person. I am here to help Uncle Hou solve this problem."

After hearing the affirmative answer, Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief.

All the way to the outside of Hou Lin's ward, the door was not closed. Before reaching the door, I heard Hou Lin's voice: "Okay, okay, you two should go back early, Xiao Wei has to go to school tomorrow."

Just as they walked to the door, Hou Xiaowei and her mother happened to come out. The four of them looked at each other and were stunned.

I have met Hou Xiaowei a few times in the past. This girl has not changed much from before, except that she is dressed more plainly today.

Yi Yang greeted: "Xiao Wei?"

Xiao Wei looked at Yi Yang, wiped her tears, pursed her lips, and said sadly: "Brother Yi Yang...Dad, dad was hit with a brick..."

Yi Yang nodded: "I understand... Well, are you planning to go back?"

"Well...Dad didn't let us accompany him, he said no."

Yi Yang nodded and told Xiaolong very naturally, "Xiaolong, why don't you send them back? It's not safe to take a taxi at night."

Xiaolong hesitated for a moment, but chose to obey the order and said, "Okay, then I'll go in and talk to Brother Lin."

Probably after hearing the voices of Xiaolong and Yi Yang, Hou Lin's voice came out from the ward: "Yi Yang? Xiaolong? Come in!"

After Yi Yang entered, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Hou Lin's appearance.

Hou Lin's hair has been shaved and his head is tightly bandaged, but he seems to be in good spirits at this time. He has gained weight compared to the past few months. At this time, he is sitting on the bed and watching a movie. magazine, after seeing Yi Yang and Xiaolong come in, he put down the magazine and smiled: "I didn't expect that someone had a hole punched in his head... Haha."

Yi Yang probably already understood the whole story.

In the final analysis, there was indeed a problem with the Xigu Commercial Plaza project.

Of course, it was not the quality of the pavement that was at fault, but a piece of news a while ago that caused a chain reaction.

Just as Yi Yang saw before crossing, although the flow of people near the Xigu Industrial Park is not small, most of them are workers. In fact, they do not have the ability to go to shopping malls for consumption. After the merchants who purchased the shops moved in one after another, they discovered that the previous propaganda The prosperous shop only has a few customers every day and no one cares about it, which makes my heart feel a lot colder.

At the same time, although there is a university town a few kilometers away, the college students there go directly to Wanda Plaza on the edge of the university town. In addition, large trucks often pass by near the Xigu Industrial Park, which makes people feel uncomfortable. The impression is extremely poor. Even if someone wants to come and take a look, they will lose interest after coming once or twice.

Many businesses actually regretted it when they saw this. Until some time ago, a piece of news came out. In order to improve the quality of the urban environment, Hanning City issued a decree and shut down a large number of traditional industrial plants that caused heavy pollution, including a large number of them. The factory in the Valley Industrial Park means that there are even fewer people in the industrial park, which already has a low flow of people.

This suddenly ignited the anger of all the merchants, and instigated by some people with ulterior motives, they began to demand the withdrawal of shops, and even petitioned Hou Lin's company for false propaganda.

Hou Lin has already used all the funds to do other projects. It is impossible to recover the funds in the short term, and the contract has been signed in black and white. Naturally, it is impossible to buy back the shops of those merchants. Similar things are often dealt with coldly, so there is no way. Forget it.

But I didn't expect that there were some hard-nosed people involved in the purchase of those shops. A large number of people were gathered in an organized manner. They not only petitioned everywhere, but also went to Hou Lin's other projects to cause trouble. This kind of thing is essentially a civil dispute, and the public security organs can only lay off.

At this point, although Hou Lin was under great pressure, he felt it didn't matter.

But he obviously underestimated the determination of some people. Unexpectedly, when he went to work yesterday, a group of people went directly to the company to block the door, which seriously affected the company's image and operations. From the perspective of their company, this was completely meaningless. It's a logical thing, after all, who can say for sure whether the storefront can make money? Doing business itself involves taking these risks, so some ordinary employees quarreled and had conflicts with the owners who came to ask for explanations. After Hou Lin learned about it, he went to the scene to explain in person, but was beaten by a flying board in the chaos. Brick hit his head, leaving a bloody hole, and the leader was also taken away by the police who arrived.

Yi Yang sat down on the chair next to the bed and asked, "Uncle Hou, are you feeling okay?"

Hou Lin sighed slightly and said, "I didn't expect that your words would come true."

Yi Yang felt a little guilty. In fact, if he had persisted, things might not have developed like this. If the brick had been placed a little further and Hou Lin was hit, he would have found it difficult to forgive himself.

After a pause, Yi Yang said: "It doesn't make much sense to talk about the past now. The key is how to solve the current troubles. Uncle Hou, what are your plans?"

Hou Lin was actually very touched. Although the family was separated, Yi Yang rushed back as soon as possible because he had something to do. He thought that his eldest brother would probably do the same thing if it were him.

You saw the right person.

He thought for a moment and shook his head: "What can we do? It's just... hide. It's impossible for me to really compensate them with money. Let's not mention that we don't have any money in our account now. Even if we do, The money and the risk of buying a shop should not be borne by us, are you right? The only troublesome thing is that they are clinging to one point, that is, the false propaganda point. This will be more troublesome... in the propaganda When it comes to time, which developer wouldn’t exaggerate a little? It’s just that when we did this in the early stage, we didn’t call a legal consultant to advise..."

After hearing this, Yi Yang shook his head: "It is precisely because of this problem that I think it is best not to use this method. This is a bad idea. The current public opinion environment is hostile to capital and Party A. After all, those who buy shops In comparison, people are a vulnerable group. If this matter is allowed to ferment, it will easily trigger a tsunami of public opinion. Most netizens do not have the ability to think independently. In addition, some so-called Internet Vs and marketing accounts are just trying to gain attention and traffic. With the pace, it is easy to tarnish the company’s image.”

"That will definitely be detrimental to the company's future development."

"I just checked Weibo in the afternoon, and there were already some slanderous articles on it, such as "The hard-earned money I saved for twelve years was deceived by the real estate company, and now I lost it all." And the comments below were almost all scolding. company's……"

Hou Lin didn't understand this. He was stunned and frowned: "Is it so serious..."

"Furthermore, you just said that there are legal risks in early operations. Although the possibility is very small, if some legal disputes really arise and operations such as applying for freezing..."

"What's the best solution?" Hou Lin's expression became solemn.

"The best thing to do is... buy those facades back!" Yi Yang said seriously.
