Chapter 7: A man with a net worth of over 100 million

arrives in Shanghai. It is a rainy day, during the Qingming Festival.

The drizzle, like mist, enveloped this bustling city.

After years of research, there are actually not many opportunities to return to the Shanghai stock market.

Previously, he had been out on research for more than a month. Tired of running around and working overtime, Xu Yan cleared his throat and felt unwell for a few days, then he started to have a fever.

In this cold weather, a cold is very uncomfortable, so I didn't go to the reception on the first day.

The morning of the next day was an inspection. When I returned to my residence at noon, Xu Yanqing ate porridge and medicine, read the materials for a while, and woke up after a short nap.

The spring rains come one after another, blowing away the red flowers and scattering the red camphor leaves all over the ground.

The meeting in Yangzhou was like a long and deep love, stirring in the chest and ready to burst out.

Xu Yanqing smelled the fragrant scent of the camphor tree, but finally couldn't restrain her thoughts. After a meeting one night, she went to the apartment he had given her as a gift.

The city has changed dramatically over the years, with modern buildings springing up like mushrooms after rain.

Xu Yanqing got off the car at the gate of the community and didn't even dare to recognize him.

The community has been renovated, and all the doors have been changed. It has become more post-modern in style, simple and elegant.

He walked into the community and the foyer was newly decorated. He stood downstairs, feeling a little uneasy.

After standing for a long time and two or three couples entering, Xu Yanqing finally reached out and pressed the doorbell of the electronic access control.

The access control was connected, and a man's voice came from the other end and asked, "Who is it?"

Xu Yanqing didn't know how to react for a moment.

Is it her husband? Or did she sell the house?

No matter what the answer was, Xu Yanqing laughed at his delusions.

The tragic breakup that year was indeed unbearable to look back on.

A child called mother, and a gentle female voice responded. It was hard to hear clearly through the phone call through the door.

Xu Yanqing smiled bitterly and said to the other end with a nasal voice, "Sorry, I pressed the wrong button."

The other party hung up the call with a "pop".

Back at the hotel, he ordered room service and had them deliver a bowl of Yangchun noodles with two poached eggs.

It was what he was used to eating when he was a child. After his grandma passed away, only Xia Jinxian made it for him.

The noodles in the hotel are all made from cooking bags, which are quite satisfactory, but always lack the taste of home.

He ate noodles and read a book, but in the end, his sore throat made him unable to eat after only two bites.

A sneeze caused the noodle soup to splash on his clothes, making him extremely embarrassed.

This research trip was very busy, with almost no private time, and the meeting with Pan Yijun was also in a hurry.

There was only one official meal during this period, and I didn't have the chance to chat with my two friends.

The person sitting next to him was a department head of the new district. Xu Yanqing had met him before. The year before last, he had followed a then deputy minister to Shanghai, and he had also met the person in charge at that time.

During the banquet, the person in charge toasted with Xu Yanqing. After drinking, Xu Yanqing became emotional and asked him if Xia Jinxian was okay.

The person in charge looked confused at that time.

Today, the person in charge took the initiative to bring a glass of wine over and said to Xu Yanqing, "Director Xu, we have made arrangements for Xiaoxia that you have been concerned about in the past few years."

Xu Yanqing, who was accompanying Pan Yijun next to him, was surprised when he heard this. Embarrassed for this person in charge.

But Xu Yanqing just smiled gently, held the cup and said, "Thank you."

Pan Yijun looked at Xu Yanqing worriedly for a long time. Xu Yanqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing?"

Pan Yijun scratched his head and asked, "Are you okay? Well, Xiao Xia?"

Xu Yanqing raised his eyebrows and ignored him.

Before returning to Beijing, Xu Yanqing had a quick private meeting with Pan Yijun and Chen Ming in the coffee shop of this four-star hotel.

Because Xu Yanqing had never seen Pan Yijun's baby daughter, Chen Ming and Pan Yijun simply brought their wives and children out. Xu Yanqing sat alone with them. Their wives had different styles, but it was obvious that the two couples They are all couples in love.

Chen Ming's son is quite big. He is a little monkey who jumps up and down. Only Chen Ming can control that boy.

Pan Yijun’s wife loved to eat tiramisu, so Pan Yijun bought a 5-inch one.

Xu Yanqing looked at the piece of cake in front of him but didn't move. Pan Yijun asked, "Don't you like sweets?"

Xu Yanqing remembered the time when he and Xia Jinxian made tiramisu together, pushed the cake away and gave it to Chen Ming's son.

The three of them talked about many topics, but none of them seemed suitable to talk to Xu Yanqing.

Marriage and children seemed to be insulated from him.

In the end, unwilling to dampen his friend's interest, Xu Yanqing took his suit jacket and stood up, saying to them, "I'm leaving first. I have to check out and catch the high-speed train. Come to the capital to visit me when you have time."

The two friends looked at them . He didn't know what to say when he left alone.

Xia Jinxian is going to Longbei to participate in a short-term assistance project, which will last only three months.

After Tan Qing came to Shanghai to be with her, she rented a larger house. She and Tan Qing sisters lived together, right next to the district government.

In order to prevent the tenants from asking for help during her trip to Longbei, and because the house in T city needed to be demolished and compensated, Xia Jinxian also made a special trip to her aunt's house and entrusted her with some matters.

Xia Jinxian took stock of her assets and discovered that she was actually worth over 100 million yuan. She owned 25 properties alone. After the demolition was completed, another 5 million yuan was recorded.

While talking about the demolition, the aunt said, "Your dad came to ask me the other day how you are doing lately."

When Xia Jinxian heard her mention her father, she paused in her movements and asked calmly, "How are you doing?" "Say?"

the aunt said, "I said you are still alone."

Xia Jinxian pushed her bangs behind her ears and said, "That's right.

" People are just like that, as long as others are not doing well, he will be fine."

It seemed that there was nothing nice to say. Xia Jinxian said, "I have made money after demolition, so don't tell him."

The aunt nodded repeatedly. "I know, I know, alas, your mother back then, well... forget it, everyone is gone, let's not talk about it."

When Xia Jinxian heard her aunt mention her mother, she was already indifferent. She just pretended to ask her casually, "My mother was there back then. "Have you ever brought another man home?" Auntie

asked in surprise, "How do you know?

"

He said to her, "At that time, your mother brought a college student back."

Xia Jinxian asked, "What kind of person was he?"

The aunt said, "His appearance is really good and he has a good accent. At that time, the college entrance examination had just been resumed. In the first year, college students were so rare. But your grandparents thought he was not a person who lived a good life. People of their generation at that time You felt that studying was useless, so your grandma pushed her to death. In the end, your mom gave in, but it didn't work out. For this reason, your mom even took your grandma's surname. Of course, the other party was also from an intellectual family, and it seemed that she didn't agree. More "Yeah, I don't know anymore."

I didn't expect this to be the case. If grandma knew that my mother ended up living such a life, would she regret her decision back then?

Xia Jinxian was a little sad, but she remembered to dig out her mother's diary and show it to Wu Tingtao if there was a chance.

My mother had no one to talk to in her whole life, and so many of her inner thoughts could only be written down in her diary.

So bitter.

My cousin came home with her boyfriend to have a meal. When she saw Xia Jinxian writing the tenant’s information in the book, she clicked her tongue and said, "Sister, you are the landlord."

Xia Jinxian said, "This is all my hard-earned money. "

My cousin snorted.

My cousin is in the car sales business, and she has to focus on performance these days, so she said with a shy face, "Sister, you are so rich, just buy a car."

Xia Jinxian asked her what car she was selling, and she said BYD.

Xia Jinxian's expression clearly showed she disliked BYD.

But her cousin said, "It can be recharged and saves money. Besides, if you drive this kind of car, who would know that you are a billionaire?"

Xia Jinxian felt that it was right. This kind of domestic brand is very suitable for her to travel in a low-key way.

She asked, "What's the benefit of helping you with your performance?" The cousin patted her boyfriend

's chest and said, "He'll take care of your car inspection from now on." 

So I immediately paid the full amount to help my cousin improve her performance and ordered a red Tang. 

When she went to her cousin's 4S shop for a test drive, the car accelerated so fast that her cousin's husband who was accompanying her was so frightened that he fastened his seat belt, which made her cousin laugh to death. 

Xia Jinxian suddenly remembered that one time, Xu Yanqing asked her to drive his car to practice. 

At that time, the fight with his parents had just begun. She was in a very depressed mood and did not see the battery car running the red light. 

Xu Yanqing seemed to have said something to her, and the two of them had a bad time. 

Looking back now, those were one of the few quarrels they had. 

Now that I think about it, they are actually very tolerant of each other. 

We never quarreled much, we just felt happy together. 

It's a pity that they got separated after all. 

The group that Xia Jinxian left for Longbei included various people, but Xia Jinxian was inconspicuous among them. 

It's not that enemies don't get together, there is Zhong Weiyi among the people traveling together. 

Zhong Weiyi was also on the management committee back then. Later, the management committee was revoked and Zhong Weiyi also came to the new district. 

At that time, Zhong Weiyi and Liu Wanjun were good friends, and they worked together to exclude her. In the end, they even did a lot of disgusting things to please Xu Yanqing's mother. 

Xia Jinxian felt unlucky when she saw the list, so she just wore a hat and glasses and pretended to sleep on the bus to the airport to avoid meeting Zhong Weiyi. 

But what a coincidence, even on the plane, they were sitting together, separated by a corridor. 

Xia Jinxian thought, let's find a chance to change seats. 

A twist of fate was that her position happened to separate a young couple who were traveling to Jiayuguan. 

So, Xia Jinxian happily changed seats and sat in the second to last row, next to a man. 

The man was very focused on reading. Xia Jinxian said sorry. When the man looked up, Xia Jinxian was a little dazed. 

This man has the same bright eyes as Xu Yanqing. He wears gold-rimmed glasses and is very elegant and handsome. 

The difference is that his hair is combed meticulously, and he looks delicate and serious. 

Xu Yanqing was different from him. He looked gentle and indifferent, a little unworldly. 

He turned sideways and raised the book, which was a reprinted book: "The Economic Institutions of Capitalism". 

Xia Jinxian has read this book. It is a Chinese translation from the Commercial Press. 

She couldn't understand it at the time. After all, most of the books left by Xu Yanqing were obscure. Even if Xu Yanqing had a few words of annotations on them, it still made her read very hard. 

Xia Jinxian nodded with him and took a seat, holding a copy of "The Origin of Political Order" in her hand. The man 

raised his eyebrows and asked, "Reading such a profound book?" 

Come out, cover yourself with a book and fall asleep. 

She heard the gentle laughter of the man next to her. 

A low voice, a bit magnetic. 

Unknowingly, I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, the man was still reading. 

Xia Jinxian looked at a meal placed on the small table in front of his seat. He said, "Sorry, I saw that you were sleeping soundly and I didn't wake you up." 

After saying that, he handed over the meal. Xia Jinxian opened it and looked at it. Looking at this man who thought he was quite kind, he said half-jokingly, "It's not poisoned, right?" 

The man asked, "It seems that because I underestimated your reading ability, you are questioning my character?" 

Xia Jinxian smiled. Yes, the man also laughed. 

The two people had no intention of getting acquainted and just chatted for a few words. 

"I really don't think women would like to read such a profound book." The man said frankly. 

Xia Jinxian said, "You are sexist and chauvinistic." 

The man said, "You call me chauvinistic. Isn't that another form of discrimination?" 

Xia Jinxian said, "Okay, you are right." 

The man choked and shook his head with a smile. shook his head. 

After a while, the man had a book in his hand. The title was "Historical Evolution and Future Development of the Administrative Adjudication System". The editor was very familiar: Wu Tingtao. 

Xia Jinxian asked while eating a bun and drinking mineral water, "Do you have a wide range of interests?" 

The man looked at the cover of the book and said to her, "This is the book I want to read for the exam." 

The man seemed to also She looked twenty-seven and asked, "Take the legal qualification certificate?" 

The man shook his head and said, "No, I want to take the doctorate of this author." As he said that, he raised the book in his hand. 

Unexpectedly, Xia Jinxian asked, "Do you know him?" 

The man said, "My idol." 

I didn't expect that the world is so small, and I could meet Wu Tingtao's fan brother just by flying. 

She said, "I wish you success. Lawyer Wu is also my idol." 

The man smiled, handed over a business card and said, "If you have any legal needs in the future, you can contact me." 

Xia Jinxian took it and took a look: Ling Tan clear. 

Xu Yanqing’s Qing.

A corporate legal advisor.

She suddenly felt sad, collected the business card, and stroked Liu Haidao, "Actually, I hope there won't be such an opportunity."

Ling Tanqing shrugged and said, "You can also consult, just think of it, multiple friends, multiple paths? After all, A society governed by law."

Xia Jinxian smiled, said hello, and handed over her business card.

Ling Tanqing curled her lips and asked, "Civil servant

?

"

In fact, most of this exchange of business cards between strangers is meaningless.

Both of us are adults and there is no need to talk anymore. You look at your law and I look at my politics. They have nothing to do with each other.
