Being-Towards-Death

It's getting late when the Chi family's father and daughter are sent away.Shi Guyuan urged his younger sister to go to bed, but he didn't want Shi Guyuan to say, "Brother, I'm going back too. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning, and we'll visit Dad's grave."

Shi Guyuan frowned and asked, "Go back? Where are you going back?"

Shi Guzhen said: "It's a small detached house in the north of the city. I used to live there every time I came back."

Shi Guyuan shook his head and said, "What are you going to do? Xiao Yan," he pointed to the ground, "This is your home, and there is someone named Zheng in the north of the city. Why, brother, this house is not enough for you to live in?"

Shi Gufen said: "Brother, why do you feel so offended when you mention your father? Didn't you tell me from a young age that you should honor your father as your own father? Why didn't you tell me when he died this time?"

Shi Guyuan felt a headache once the old account was turned over. He put his shoulders around his hands, coughed twice, and said weakly: "You have to stay here with me, and I don't want to go all the way to pick you up tomorrow. Over there in the north of the city." Son, Zheng Zhichu is back and is staying here, it’s not good for you to go. Be obedient.”

Shi Guyan and Zheng Zhichu didn't know each other well, so he gave up the idea and stayed down.Before going to bed, Shi Guyuan turned off the light for her, and Shi Guyuan suddenly asked: "Brother, are you still practicing the piano?"

Shi Guyuan smiled and said, "Lian, I don't dare to be sloppy with this thing, or I should make you unhappy."

Shi Guzhen said: "That's good. I didn't bring back some accompaniments. When I practice dancing, you have to accompany me."

Shi Guyuan said helplessly: "I have to find you a practice room, I know, go to sleep, ah."

The return of Shi Guzhen is a bit like a confidante's disaster for the country and the people.She gets up early every morning and wears Shi Guyuan's sportswear to go for a run. Shi Guyuan has to adjust her biological clock accordingly, yawning and preparing breakfast for her younger sister.Shi Guyuan tolerated his younger sister's little capriciousness without principle. Ever since Shi Guyuan wept uncontrollably in front of Zheng Zhongtian's tombstone, he never wanted to see his sister's tears again.

The practice room was also quickly found.When Shi Guyuan was free, he accompanied his younger sister in the practice room, playing the piano to accompany him, and at the same time watching the wonderful dance moves of members of the Royal Ballet from a close distance.One day, Shi Guyuan practiced "Death of the Swan", and Shi Guyuan said happily: "As expected of someone who was admitted to the Emperor Ballet, the first time I watched "Death of the Swan" was from the Russian Dance Company. It's shocking. I didn't have you at that time. I didn't expect my sister to perform as well as that chief. Yours seems to be more sad."

Shi Guchen raised his neck and said, "Of course, I don't even look at who I am."

Shi Guyuan was about to continue joking, but the phone rang.Shi Guyuan pointed to the lever, and asked Shi Guyuan to continue practicing, and went out to answer the phone by himself.The caller was Tang Jun, vice president of Hengyu Group. Shi Guyuan didn't go to Hengyu for a few days. Tang Jun was in charge, and Shi Guyuan didn't ask.This call must be because the company has made a major decision and is waiting for his signature.

Shi Guyuan pressed the answer button without talking nonsense: "Speak."

"Mr. Shi, can you come over this afternoon, we have a meeting."

Shi Guyuan looked at his watch and asked, "What time is it in the afternoon?"

"Three o'clock."

"I'll be there at three o'clock."

Then he hung up the phone first, went back to the practice room, picked up the bow, and asked his sister for leave: "I have something to do in the afternoon, I can stay with you for another hour, let's hurry up."

......................................................

Hengyu Group's conference room is on the top floor of the building. Tang Jun held the meeting in a small conference room, which was more like a tea room. Three or four people sat around the tea table, and Tang Jun, a tea master, came to the home court.

Shi Guyuan was the last to arrive, and he came in briskly. Tang Jun and the company's chief accountant stood up to greet him.Shi Guyuan smiled, pressed his hand, and said, "Sit down, everyone," sinking into the chair, he asked Tang Jun, "Tell me, why are you so anxious."

When Tang Jun poured him tea, Shi Guyuan lowered his eyelids, staring at the green tea in the cup, but didn't touch it, and waited intently for Tang Jun's answer.

Tang Jun said: "Mr. Shi, that's the thing. I have a piece of land in the north of the city. The location is good, it's near the train station, and the price is okay. We had a proposal before, which was to build a new entertainment club. Just looking for a place. After all, the grandeur is old, and some facilities are outdated. If this land can be won, I am still very confident in the future development of our Hengyu."

Shi Guyuan said: "This is a good thing, what's the problem?"

The chief accountant said: "But since last year, the company has been in a state of loss. To build a new entertainment club, it is not only to buy land, but also to do necessary management, and the most important thing is to decorate. After this whole set, I am afraid that our funds will be exhausted. There will be problems with turnover."

Tang Jun and the chief accountant said in unison: "We discussed this issue in a meeting and came to a relatively consistent conclusion."

Shi Guyuan raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, leaned lazily on the armrest of the chair, folded his legs and sat crookedly, with his neck tucked into his collar: "What conclusion, let's hear it."

The other two looked at each other, and Tang Jun said, "Why don't we unite with some big companies that are interested in this, if we have money, let's make money together, huh? Hahahaha!"

Shi Guyuan asked: "Then which one do you prefer?"

Tang Jun said: "Mr. Shi, this matter is very easy to handle. As long as you nod, I will have someone hand over the plan tomorrow."

Shi Guyuan looked at him: "Where are you going?"

"Old rules, those who should move should move in time!"

"You still didn't say which company you want to unite with."

Tang Jun said: "The entire Taoxian City can be compared with our Hengyu, isn't it far away in the sky and close in front of us?"

Shi Guyuan shook his head and said, "No."

"Why not? Mr. Shi, you are now the leader of Tengkong. Although Tengkong has experienced some changes, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the transfer of money is more than enough. Mr. Shi, don't forget that Hengyu is you His own son, Teng Kong, was raised for others!"

Shi Guyuan leaned forward and poured out the cold tea in Tang Jun's cup, and poured a new one for him, saying, "Old Tang, look what you're talking about? Who's so stupid now, put all your belongings in it, Wouldn't you invite a few bank presidents out for dinner?"

Tang Jun said: "Hey, it's not easy to handle. I went to the bank several times, but they just let it go. I can't help it."

Shi Guyuan smiled lightly, raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and said, "I support the project, and the money will be given to the presidents. If it doesn't work, I will ask the mayor's Secretary He to help me. Old Tang, I remember Seeing that you have a very good relationship with Secretary He."

With a smiling face, Tang Jun held the cup and put it in his mouth.Seeing this, Shi Guyuan stood up and said goodbye.Tang Jun and the chief accountant sent him out, and then returned to the conference room.

The chief accountant was like an ant on a hot pan, and said anxiously: "What can we do about this, Mr. Shi won't get in, and our big deficit—"

Tang Jun knocked his teacup hard and said, "What's the matter, are you scared now? Let me tell you, it's too late! If I hadn't helped you, Shi Guyuan would have known about your embezzlement of public funds into the casino long ago! Now You and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, without Hengyu, Shi Guyuan still has Tengkong in hand, what about you and me?"

The chief accountant was silent.After Tang Jun slapped his hands, he didn't forget to give a sweet date. His tone softened and he said, "If I let you do the accounting, it means I trust you. I cash out, isn't it just for my own little trouble and earning some retirement money? Time, can you be missing?"

The chief accountant murmured, and Tang Jun patted him on the shoulder, thinking about the money.

..........................................

Dai Chenming requested the imperial decree, and accompanied by two police officers, he successfully found the information that brother Zheng wanted.He memorized all the points on the file, except for the city bureau, and hurried to see Zheng Zhichu, so the trio met again at the old place.

In the KTV box, the original singer was playing on the screen, Zheng Zhichu drove away his old friend, lowered the voice of the original singer, and raised his chin with Dai Chenming.

Dai Chenming understood, and sat upright and said, "Fatty Zhang's brother is Zhang Jingshen. He died in a fight a year ago. The prisoner is a gangster. He has been in prison several times."

"Did you say why?"

"Let's say there was a quarrel. Later, both parties got more excited, and Zhang Jingshen was stabbed to death by that gangster. Shi Guyuan was also there at the time, and there is his record in the case."

Zheng Zhichu became interested, and asked, "What's written in the transcript?"

"Let's say that Zhang Jingshen went to dinner with him and a few friends. It seems that the little gangster deliberately found fault. Zhang Jingshen was so angry that a fight broke out."

Zheng Zhichu "cut": "Fart, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, that gangster is definitely to blame. The Municipal Bureau hastily closed the case, which shows that the people behind are not simple."

He Tongzhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "What's that bastard's name?"

"It's called Li Shan."

He Tongzhou folded his arms and said: "I know this person, he is specially used to take the blame for people. I used him for a while. Later, he was brought under Huo San's command, and he did some beating and killing all day long. Huo Tongzhou Three doesn't mean any restriction."

"Huo San? You mean Huo Yanpeng?" Zheng Zhichu frowned, "Just that poisonous snake who was about our age and smashed several places last year, but couldn't even grab a hair? Isn't he only born in Beijing and Binhai City? Activities, why, but also to reach out to Taoxian to share a cup? It's a good idea."

He Tongzhou said: "Whether Huo San is slippery or not, it's hard to judge, but he's just showing his talents, and he still can't control us. This Li Shan is probably a favor he gave to the person behind him."

Zheng Zhichu pondered for a moment, then said, "Can I see Li Shan?"

Dai Chenming said embarrassingly: "It's a bit difficult. This kid is the key target of the bureau, and he doesn't have any relatives or friends. We just went to see him. It's too conspicuous."

He Tongzhou said: "Li Shan is a scapegoat, and he must be targeting Shi Guyuan behind his back. Does Shi Guyuan have any enemies?"

Zheng Zhichu said: "I used to live in the capital, and I really don't know much about my father's grievances."

He Tongzhou said, "Hey, we still have a line, why did we forget?"

Zheng Zhichu suddenly realized, Dai Chenming asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

Zheng Zhichu smiled: "Looks like I have to go to Tengkong to visit the victim's family."

......................................................

Chi Yu and Chi Xiaoyu moved to a new home, and after settling down, Chi Yu also made up his mind to jump to Shi Guyuan's private hospital.Shi Guyuan had already been taken care of, and he was just waiting for Chi Yu to resign at the People's Hospital until the end of the month.

On the other hand, Chi Xiaoyu's piano learning plan was put on the agenda.Chi Yu was hesitant at first, but thinking that life was about to be rich, he gritted his teeth and went to the Children's Palace to find a teacher to sign up for a class.Every day Chi Xiaoyu hugs the piano that Shi Guyuan gave her, like hugging a doll, and often whispers to it.Chi Yu heard something by chance, and the little milky voice said: "Cello, cello, you have to grow up quickly, until you grow to be as big as Uncle Shi's violin, you are the same!"

Chi Yu told Shi Guyuan this, and Shi Guyuan couldn't help laughing.The two were decorating Chi Xiaoyu's room. Shi Guyuan pasted the big tree made in the parent-child activity on the wall. Chi Yu pointed to the "stone" in the lower right corner and said with a smile: "These two characters are written in crooked characters, you But don’t teach my Xiaoyu to write English.”

Shi Guyuan said proudly: "Xiaoyuer is much smarter than me, hey, we also won a set of parent-child cups, I made an agreement with Xiaoyuer, the pink one is for you, and the blue one is mine. "

Chi Yu said, "Why? I'm not a woman."

Shi Guyuan took it for granted, "I'm not a woman either," he said emphatically, "This set of cups was won by 'I' and Xiao Yu'er, and I have the priority."

"Then I'll take the cup back for you."

After Chi Yu finished speaking, he really turned around to get it.Shi Guyuan stopped him, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, you always take it seriously. I can use the powdered one. Keep it in the cabinet for me. I'll use it when I come. This is my special drinking glass."

For the joy of Chi Yu's housewarming, Shi Guyuan gave him—to be precise, Chi Xiaoyu—a book of Andersen's fairy tales.In the evening, the three of them, and Shi Guyan, had a lively meal together,

During the dinner, Liu Mian called in a disconcerting manner and said, "Mr. Shi, the US side has re-delivered. Because of the new route, there will be a slight delay. It will take about a month to arrive at Zhoushui City Wharf. The group of people at the customs are almost done, as long as there are no variables, this time there will be no problem."

Shi Guyuan turned around to look at the three people at the dining table, turned his back and said in a low voice: "You just need to know what's in your mind, is there anything else?"

"Yes..." Liu Mian stammered, "Boss Shi, Qian Youdao has come to sue again."

Shi Guyuan lit a cigarette and asked, "Is it Zhang Jingkuo again?"

"No, Mr. Shi, we can understand your feelings. It's all because of his brother's face, but you can't indulge him blindly, can you? He gambles all day long. If he wins, it's his fault. If he loses, it's his fault. If things go on like this, Xiaoqian will not be easy to put on face in front of his brothers, what do you think?"

Shi Guyuan raised his head and blew a smoke ring, asking, "How much did Zhang Jingkuo play this time?"

Liu Mian said: "There are 60 in the bill, not counting the amount you promised."

Shi Guyuan said: "A small 100 million, that's a bit too much. So, you beat him for me first, if he still doesn't obey, then talk about it later."
