Chapter 41? The more dignified a woman is, the more beautiful she is(1/2)
Zhao Wenhui named it himself, and in the end, in addition to himself, there were four people who were allowed to attend the subsequent small-scale internal meeting of the Zhao family:
His two sons: the eldest son Zhao Zhongjun and the second son Zhao Zhongyi.
His old friend, old follower: Tong Chunshan.
His eldest disciple: Sun Jiancheng.
And the other one, who should not have appeared in this small meeting, was left behind by him in the name of burning tea and pouring water, or it could be regarded as an audition.
After all the rest, Sun Jiancheng personally sent them to the fence gate, watching them go down the mountain, and then turned around.
Zhao Wenhui sat in the main seat of the sofa, and the remaining four people also found seats to sit down.
Zhao Zhifang focused on boiling water and making tea, and didn't even raise her head.
Before the tea could be washed out, Zhao Wenhui had already made it straight to the point. With just one sentence, he set a clear tone, "Next, we can be a little more high-profile."
Everyone was stunned, and even Sun Jiancheng was a little stunned.
Zhao Wenhui smiled, and a confident expression appeared on his face again, calm and composed. Even compared to his efforts ten years ago, he now looks more confident.
"I will attend the Songshan Conference this fall."
As soon as this sentence was said, it surprised everyone again.
The so-called Songshan Association has a history of more than ten years. At first, it was a small private gathering of several cultivators in Yuzhou Province. The purpose was to communicate and discuss, and in some matters, there were some mutual communication and mutual help. Later, more and more participants, and the functions of the Songshan Association have become more and more. Today, its reputation has become faintly revealed. In the business world of Yuzhou Province, it is also a great name.
At this Songshan Conference, there will be competition, exchanges, discussions, and some respected seniors in the conference will be hosted by some internal frictions and contradictions. Of course, there will be many behind the scenes, commercial and other aspects.
In short, in Yuzhou Province, the significance of the Songshan Association has long gone beyond the scope of gatherings and exchanges among a group of cultivators, and has become a veritable conference.
However, it is only because the participants must be cultivators, they will die.
No matter how big a businessman or a rich family you are, as long as you are not a cultivator, you will be rejected!
Zhao Wenhui was an official member of the Songshan Association as early as the early 1990s. Although he was not the earliest group, he had a deep qualification. In the association, he was definitely considered a group of highly respected seniors.
However, in the past seven or eight years, he has been deeply trapped by the injuries in his body, and his cultivation has not improved but retreated. Therefore, he has to show that he is weak and hides in Suyang City in the name of resting in his old age. While trying his best to solve the problems in cultivation, he has worked hard to build this practice temple halfway up the mountain.
In this way, it conveyed a vague message to the outside world that "he is in seclusion" and "maybe he wants to try to break through". Therefore, although Songshan Club has not been there for many years, the Zhao family's business is still smooth, and basically no one will take the initiative to provoke them.
But in fact, this is just a hoarse rod to beat the wolf, and both ends are afraid.
The outside world speculates that they dare not provoke the Zhao family easily, but the Zhao family is also cautious. They try their best to avoid offending others when doing things and doing business outside the country.
Moreover, if Zhao Wenhui didn't go to the Songshan meeting, even his disciples, sons, etc. were all confined by him and were not allowed to attend the Songshan meeting. They would not be able to ask for it even if they went there. If something happened, or someone took the opportunity to provoke it, it would be impossible not to respond. If he responded, he might be humiliated, and he would be even more timid at that time.
Until now, the old man suddenly decided to attend the Songshan Conference again this year, which naturally surprised everyone who heard it.
Sun Jiancheng became enlightened in an instant, but did not speak.
Tong Chunshan also looked thoughtful.
At this time, Zhao Wenhui's eldest son, Zhao Zhongjun, was the first to speak and asked in surprise: "Dad, so, your injuries are healed?"
Zhao Wenhui smiled faintly, "It will take two or three months to basically recover."
Everyone was overjoyed.
Even Sun Jiancheng and Tong Chunshan, who had already known some inside story, suddenly looked relieved when they heard the old man say this - they only knew that Yuan Liyang had helped the old man get out of fire in his lungs that day, and they came again in the evening just now, but they were not qualified to participate in the conversation at that time, so they actually didn't know what happened at that time.
At this time, Zhao Zhifang was the most confused - she didn't even know that her grandfather was injured, but at this time, she looked up at her grandfather and looked at the others. She did not speak wisely, but lowered her head again, poured out the tea carefully, and started serving tea for everyone.
At the same time, Zhao Wenhui also let everyone vent this surprise emotion for a moment, and then slowly said: "If it is not surprising, within this year, my cultivation will definitely return to the peak of that year. The Songshan Association is in September. By that time, although I have not completely returned to the peak, it should not be much different. It should be fine to go to the Songshan Association and show off my appearance."
"Very good!"
At this moment, especially Zhao Wenhui's two sons, Zhao Zhongjun and Zhao Zhongyi, were particularly happy. Among the two, Zhao Zhongjun was responsible for helming the Zhao family's business, and Zhao Zhifang's father Zhao Zhongyi was responsible for helping his elder brother. The two brothers have cooperated well over the years, so Zhao Zhongjun is usually responsible for speaking, "Dad, then in our business in the future..."
The old man did not hesitate at all and replied firmly: "Don't fight with others because of their intentions, nor do they make enemies with others because of some meaningless things. But if the interests lie, you can let go of the courage to fight wherever you should fight in the future."
Zhao Zhongjun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and felt a little excited for a moment.
Zhao Zhongyi couldn't help but smile relaxed.
After taking the tea from his daughter, he smiled and said, "No wonder you are in such a good mood today. You have to give Fangfang an extra gift, haha, it turns out that there is a big happy event."
After he said this, Zhao Zhongjun was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. The little guess and suspicion he had in his heart just now was relieved.
Once this suspicion goes, he always loves the children below, even their nephews and nieces. What's more, Zhao Zhifang has been as cute as a porcelain doll since she was a child, and is the most beautiful one in the next generation, and has been loved by him since she was a child.
In addition, he has always been very generous in his style, which is definitely different from the stingy and frugality of entrepreneurs like Zhao Wenhui. When he recalled that he had just had some bad suspicions about his second brother and niece, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and he immediately said generously: "Our father's injury is healed, he is happy, we are happy too! In this way, my niece's birthday today, and we have such a big happy event today. I, as an uncle, can't let me express my feelings without any expression! Fangfang, do you have a driver's license? Do you want to give you a sports car?"
As Zhao Wenhui listened, his smile stopped between his eyebrows. After he finished speaking, he even pursed his lips. However, this was his eldest son after all, so he hesitated for a while, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Sun Jiancheng and Tong Chunshan both followed him for the longest time, so they naturally understood his thoughts best. At this time, they both looked at the nose and the nose, and not only did they make fun of it, but they even lowered their heads and did not respond.
Zhao Zhongjun was still immersed in excitement, but he didn't notice anything.
However, at this time, before Zhao Zhifang could speak, Zhao Zhongyi, who was sitting beside him, had already spoken: "Brother, brother... don't! She is a girl and is still in school, so why should she give her a sports car? She is now riding a bicycle to school every day, which is pretty good! Don't give her it!"
Zhao Zhongjun laughed when he heard this, "That's not possible! I can't let my niece down!"
After a pause, he said, "But that's how your father's concerns make sense. Just wait for you to finish the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, you can choose it yourself. Which car you like, my uncle will give you it!"
The old saying goes, the elders dare not refuse, and his uncle insisted on giving it to him. Zhao Zhifang hesitated for a moment, but still smiled sweetly, saying, "Okay, then thank you uncle. When I finish the college entrance examination, I will definitely pick the most expensive one and ask my uncle to swipe the card! Then spend all your pocket money for you!"
Zhao Zhongjun laughed and said, "I'm not afraid! You don't have a lot of money!"
Suddenly, Zhao Wenhui coughed gently.
In an instant, even Zhao Zhongjun stopped.
The room suddenly became quiet again.
The old man thought for a while and said, "What I said just now is out of my mouth and into your ears. To the outside world, even your wife and children are absolutely not allowed to say it, do you understand?"
Zhao Zhongyi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I know Dad!"
Zhao Zhongjun frowned slightly and asked, "Why? This is a good thing, Dad, why not..."
Zhao Wenhui shook his head slightly, and explained patiently, saying, "I told you, you know what I meant, but what about the children below? In the past few years, I have deliberately suppressed them, and they have always been doing this and that. Now I tell them that they can be a little arrogant? Do you think they dare not bully men and women? Tell you, as long as you dare to say, they will dare to cause murder cases for you within a few months!"
Speaking of this, he looked unpredictable and said, "You don't know what your son you gave birth to?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhongjun's face flashed with embarrassment. After a moment, he nodded embarrassedly and said, "Okay dad, then I know, I must keep my mouth shut!"
Zhao Wenhui nodded, then looked up at the time and said, "Okay, it's still early. After drinking this cup of tea, you two go down the mountain!"
After saying that, he stood up, looked at Zhao Zhifang with a smile, and said, "Fangfang, can you go out for a walk with grandpa?"
Zhao Zhifang nodded, "Okay, grandpa!"
…………
Taking the monastery on the hillside as the middle point, the villa at the foot of the mountain leads down to the villa at the foot of the mountain is of course the paved stone steps, and when you walk up, it is also the paved stone steps. Even just about to reach the top of the mountain, an additional small pavilion was built. It is a must-see place Zhao Wenhui will take every day for a walk.
But today's walk was indeed too late.
There are no lights in the mountains, but fortunately there is still a hint of bright moonlight. Although the two ancestors and grandchildren have different cultivation levels, they do have cultivation levels. Walking on such stone steps at night will only feel that the night is very beautiful, but they do not feel that the mountain road is difficult to walk.
As he walked slowly up the mountain, Zhao Wenhui did not speak.
So Zhao Zhifang silently lagged behind her grandfather half a step, and jumped a little when she walked, and from time to time she pinched a piece of freshly crawled tender leaves next to her, which was really cute and cute.
After waiting for the pavilion near the top of the mountain, Zhao Wenhui entered the pavilion, held his hands behind him, and looked at the mountains and fields in the distance. After a long time, he sighed, "It's really a wonderful scenery!"
After saying that, he turned around and saw his granddaughter looking at him with some curiosity.
He knew that his granddaughter was his father and was a delicate person.
So he knew that she must have hidden many confusions, many questions and many speculations in her heart, but just like her father, she would not ask questions at will.
So, at this time, he smiled and said, "Fangfang, what do you want to ask grandpa? You can ask now. If you ask, grandpa promises to speak out and say everything. But, don't worry about what grandpa said, what you asked, after going down the mountain, including everything you see this evening, you must keep it in your heart. Don't even tell your parents, do you understand?"
"Why, Grandpa?"
"Because that is the lifeline of our Zhao family in the next few decades. It is our family, grandpa and me, of course, it also includes you, our confidence. Well, there is a saying, you have to write it down!"
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
"If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not secret, he will lose his personal life; if the king is not secret, he will suffer harm!"
"oh!"
Zhao Zhifang looked like she didn't understand it - the general meaning was not too difficult to understand. She had a certain foundation in ancient Chinese, but she couldn't understand whether this sentence was said from my grandfather.
But Zhao Wenhui obviously did not mean to explain carefully.
After a while, he looked at his most beautiful granddaughter with a smile and asked again: "Is there nothing to ask?"
Zhao Zhifang smiled sweetly and asked, "Grandpa, is that Yuan Liyang... very powerful?"
"Very awesome! And, it's the kind that's far more powerful than grandpa!"
"oh."
"So, if you have the opportunity in school in the future, you can communicate with him more appropriately, but don't be too deliberate, do you understand?"
"Why? Since he is very powerful, as you said, even the confidence of our family is the lifeblood, shouldn't we deal with him well and handle the relationship well?"
Zhao Wenhui laughed when he heard this.
After a while, he said, "If you are a boy, grandpa will definitely recommend you to get closer to him and get closer. It is best to be a good friend. Even if you are not a good friend, be a good follower, good... a bad guy, it's fine! But Fangfang, you are a girl!"
