Chapter 375 Adjusting the layout
Wang Jiancheng put the branch of Korean ginseng on his father's desk: "Dad, Qiao Rulong is here. This is a gift that Grandpa Qiao entrusted him to bring you."
Wang Zhengdao glanced at it, and said in a low voice: "I'm not feeling well today, please tell Rulong."
Wang Jiancheng nodded. His father has rarely seen visitors these years. Even if the other party is Qiao Rulong, it is estimated that the only one who can make an exception for his father is Qiao Lao, but it is impossible for Qiao Lao to take the initiative to visit a junior.
Wang Zhengdao was still thinking about what his son told Qiao Rulong that Mr. Qiao entrusted his grandson to come to see him, that is to say, that Qiao Rulong came here on behalf of Mr. Qiao. The new year has just passed, and there is still some time before the Spring Festival. It seems that it is not the best time to give gifts. , Why did Qiao Rulong come here this time?
Could it be for the marriage of the two families?
"Go and accompany Rulong."
Before Wang Jiancheng left, he couldn't help but said: "Dad, I told you about the Chinese medicine doctor, look..."
Wang Zhengdao waved his hand, obviously not interested, the best Chinese medicine masters in China have basically consulted him, so what? Still no improvement.
Qiao Rulong was sitting on the sofa. It was not the first time he came to Wang's house. The place he visited more often was Wang Lao's house. This was the place where Wang Zhengdao lived. After breaking contact, others knew that he had a strange illness, so they tried not to bother him.
Wang Zhengdao's wife, Feng Yiping, was engaged in foreign affairs. After Wang Zhengdao fell ill, the couple also had some conflicts. Although they were not divorced, they were actually separated. Feng Yiping was also a career-oriented woman, and it was impossible to sacrifice her career and stay at home. Taking care of Wang Zhengdao, maybe this is the root of their conflict.
Wang Jiancheng returned to Qiao Rulong, smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, my dad is not in good health today, so it's inconvenient to come out."
Qiao Rulong could understand, and he also thought of it. Grandpa asked him to send Korean ginseng to Wang Zhengdao, but could this Korean ginseng test the Wang family's attitude?
Wang Zhengdao was indeed suffering from a strange disease, and it was understandable that he didn't come out to see guests. It didn't mean that he was neglecting the Qiao family.
Because grandpa didn't explain it, Qiao Rulong was also trying to figure out what grandpa meant. He wanted to know what Qiao's family meant. Why didn't he let himself go directly to see Mr. Wang? The two old people are very good friends. In Qiao Rulong's impression, before Wang Zhengdao fell ill, he would visit his grandfather every year to pay New Year's greetings.
He doesn't think there is any problem with the two families, and the Wang family is more active in the matter of the marriage between the two families.
Qiao Rulong said: "Was yesterday's concert wonderful?"
Wang Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that Qiao Rulong probably didn't know about the episode of the concert. It was impossible for Mei Ruxue to tell him the details, and Ye Qingya, as his wife, didn't tell him. The two couples are not intimate, as is the case with most politically motivated marriages.
Wang Jiancheng said: "Wonderful!" No matter the concert itself or what happened during it was very exciting, what Mei Ruxue did made him lose a lot of face, but he was quite satisfied with his overall performance. This time he also got to know Xu Chunliang again, and he would not take the initiative to mention the specific details to others.
Qiao Rulong took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaoxue has a stubborn temper, so you should be more patient."
Wang Jiancheng said: "Brother Long, have you met Xu Chunliang?"
Qiao Rulong said in his heart that I showed you Xu Chunliang's photo two days ago, why did he ask me this question? Could it be that they have already met? Qiao Rulong shook his head: "No chance." There are not many opportunities for people from different classes to meet.
Wang Jiancheng said: "This kid is very good at it."
Qiao Rulong showed a faint smile, the person my sister admires must have his strengths, but so what? No matter how outstanding his ability is, it is difficult to break the barriers of class. Some things are doomed from your birth. It is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. He is not interested in Xu Chunliang, but what really interests him is Wang Jiancheng's attitude. Wang Jiancheng She seems to be more interested in Xu Chunliang than Mei Ruxue, anyway, she seldom hears him mention his sister in front of her.
Qiao Rulong said: "The tea is getting cold."
Wang Jiancheng said sorry, and quickly changed him to a new tea. Some wondered if Qiao Rulong's words were a pun?
Qiao Rulong raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Don't bother me, tell uncle for me, I still have something to do, I'm going back."
Wang Jiancheng said: "What's the rush? I still have something to ask you."
Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa told me to go back quickly, I dare not refuse." He got up and patted Wang Jiancheng on the shoulder: "Let's play together some other day."
"OK!"
Wang Jiancheng sent it to the door, watched Qiao Rulong's car leave, and then went back, seeing that he just poured new tea for Qiao Rulong, he didn't move at all.
Wang Jiancheng returned to his father's study and saw his father still holding the Korean ginseng and looking at it.
"dad!"
Wang Zhengdao frowned: "The guest is gone?"
Wang Jiancheng nodded: "He said that Grandpa Qiao told him to go back and there are other things."
Wang Zhengdao estimated the time: "What is the original sentence?"
The Korean ginseng in Wang Zhengdao's hand suddenly became heavy. Qiao Lao didn't ask Qiao Rulong to come here for the simple purpose of visiting a doctor. He went back quickly to prove that he had already expected Qiao Rulong not to see him, and he dared not refuse. It means, what Qiao always asks Qiao Rulong to do, he will do.
At Qiao Lao's level, he will not do any meaningless things.
Wang Jiancheng felt that his father seemed a little strange at this time: "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"What else did he say?"
"Nothing."
Wang Zhengdao felt that his mood was getting worse, and he waved his hand: "You go out first."
Wang Jiancheng did not leave immediately: "Dad, there is something I want to discuss with you."
After getting his father's consent, Wang Jiancheng said: "The matter between me and Mei Ruxue, she actually already has someone in her heart."
Wang Zhengdao looked at his son calmly. How could he not know about Mei Ruxue? In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Although he doesn't go out, he knows a lot about everything outside.
Wang Jiancheng said: "I think that even if the marriage is successful, it will not benefit my Wang family much."
"Do you think the reason why I facilitated this is to sacrifice the interests of our Wang family and your personal happiness?"
"Dad, I didn't mean that, I just want to know why grandpa must fulfill the promise back then?"
"Sometimes marriage is not about the benefits that the other party can bring to you, but to prevent him from becoming your enemy!"
Wang Jiancheng didn't understand his father's words. Even if the two marriages failed, grandpa and Mr. Qiao were still best friends. They used to be business partners and friends for decades. It's impossible for them to turn against each other because the marriage failed, right? Qiao Rulong told his grandpa the whole situation of the trip, and Qiao Rulong nodded as he listened.
Qiao Rulong said: "I came and went in a hurry this time, will Uncle Wang have any ideas?"
Qiao Lao smiled and said: "He has always had a lot of thoughts, but unfortunately, his body does not allow it." The two most capable juniors of the Qiao family and the Wang family, Qiao Yuanshan was ruined emotionally, and Wang Zhengdao was ruined physically. Good fortune tricks people.
However, the Wang family is thriving, and the other sons of Mr. Wang are all working in important departments. In the past ten years, the overall strength of the Wang family seems to have surpassed that of the Qiao family.
Qiao Rulong said: "You asked me to test Uncle Wang's attitude."
Old Qiao said: "I have always known the Wang family's attitude."
Qiao Rulong said: "The marriage was proposed by them."
Old Qiao said: "Now that I think about it, I should respect Xiaoxue's opinion."
Qiao Rulong was shocked, what does grandpa mean? He regretted it? No longer thinking about marriage? Is it just because Wang Zhengdao neglected him? Impossible, Grandpa should have considered that this marriage is unlikely to bring the desired benefits to their family, and in this case, there is no need to sacrifice the happiness of my sister.
Qiao Rulong said: "Didn't you already promise Grandpa Wang?"
Old Qiao said indifferently: "It's not the old society. Now we all pay attention to the freedom of love. Since Xiaoxue doesn't like him, why should we embarrass our children?"
Qiao Rulong said: "If she knew that you agreed with her and Xu Chunliang, she would be so happy."
"I just said that I will no longer ask her to marry the Wang family. Don't misinterpret what I mean."
Qiao Rulong looked at Grandpa in surprise, Grandpa should have readjusted the layout.
##
Xu Chunliang sent the materials Mo Han investigated to Gao Xiaobai, but did not get a reply from Gao Xiaobai.
Xu Chunliang felt like being a villain in vain, and Gao Xiaobai probably felt that the investigators behind him were a bit dishonest, but he was also benevolent, and his concern for Gao Xiaobai was also because of Gao Xinhua.
He skipped a class that afternoon. He wanted Chen Qianfan to help him sign in, but Chen Qianfan also chose to skip class like him, but they arranged for a secretary to come over for him. Show some respect.
The two left together, and when they came outside, Chen Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm most afraid of going to class. To tell you the truth, I had nightmares last night."
Xu Chunliang couldn't help laughing: "So serious?"
Chen Qianfan nodded his head and said solemnly: "I dreamed that I went back to the junior high school exam, and I didn't know all the questions, but I was so worried." Almost everyone who has gone to school has had such a dream.
Xu Chunliang pointed to the sidewalk and motioned him to go up. There were many students riding bicycles to and fro on the road. Compared with the students in these ivory towers, their lives lacked an evolutionary process, so they could only use money to make rapid progress. Catalysis, to achieve overtaking in curves, in fact, many people have already gone ahead in wealth.
