Seeing that Guan Yuntian was relaxed, Lawyer Zhao said again: "Yes, you do what you have to do as usual. If there is nothing that needs to be verified, you can just push them to me."

In the period that followed, the investigators called Guan Yuntian several times to verify certain details, but since then they have never interviewed him.

During the public trial of Han Defa's case of smuggling refined oil, the relevant departments notified Guan Yuntian and invited him to observe the case hearing. "Can I not go?" Guan Yuntian asked lawyer Zhao.

"Of course, you can listen on the spot, or you don't have to go. This is your freedom." Lawyer Zhao said.

"Forget it, I'd rather stay as far away from this kind of thing as possible."

When they met with President Ren of ICBC afterwards, when talking about Han Defa's current situation, both of them lamented, "A good person, but he doesn't do his job properly and only thinks about making a fortune through evil ways. As a result, he got himself into it and is now behind bars.

It’s really not worth it!” Lao Ren sighed.

"I explained the nature and consequences of the matter to him clearly at the beginning, but he just couldn't listen. Now he has harmed himself. Old Han is indeed sad. I don't know if it's him who is so persistent or the help of the think tanks behind him.

He came up with the idea," Guan Yuntian said.

"Whether it's his own persistence or the idea given by the senior adviser behind him, his life is over anyway. The current speed of social development is rapid. If he comes out of prison ten years later, we don't know how far society has developed.

, Lao Han didn’t have much culture to begin with, he was already in his early fifties at that time and had already been abandoned by society.”

"President Ren, as a friend, I think you are worthy of Lao Han. If you hadn't helped him in the past, he would have been unable to survive in society."

"You and I both feel scared when we talk about this matter. Fortunately, you made a clear cut with him. I was the one who asked you to cooperate with him in the first place. If Lao Han had caused you trouble, how could I be worthy of you?" Old Ren

Speak from the heart.

"To be honest, since I had the intention of cooperating with Lao Han, I have got to know Lao Han as a person and know that he is not an authentic person. Therefore, after cooperating with him, I was more careful. The first time he proposed to me

The incident of smuggling refined oil suddenly made me alert. From then on, I subconsciously distanced myself from Lao Han. Even though we had made a good relationship with him, when the Lao Han Dongchuang incident happened, there were too many policemen handling the case some time ago.

This time he came to me, which put a certain amount of ideological pressure on me. You know I have always been a law-abiding person and have never been willing to deal with judicial and law enforcement agencies." Guan Yuntian said.

"The matter has passed. Old Han has ended up as he did today. The blisters on his feet were caused by him. As a friend, I have a clear conscience. As a former partner, we should all feel lucky that his incident has not affected you.

"

"President Ren, Lao Han is your friend. Now that something has happened to him, it seems inappropriate to say such things behind his back, but that is the fact. If a person who runs a business does not do his job all day long and only thinks about those crooked ways, I think sooner or later he will

Something happened."

Lao Ren is fortunate that the nearly one billion loan he previously lent to Defa Refinery has already been transferred to Guan Yuntian's name along with the company's equity. Otherwise, with Lao Han's accident, those loans will not be recovered, and what will happen to the pair?

This will cause a devastating blow to Lao Ren's career.

...

Guan Yuntian has not visited the branch below for two or three months. After ten o'clock in the morning, after finishing the official business at hand, he was going to visit the branch below. When he stood up and walked out, he had just arrived at the door of the office.

, the phone on the table rang, Guan Yuntian turned around and went back to answer the phone. Before he could speak, a voice came from the phone, "Yuntian, are you busy? I want to tell you something."

"Mom, why did you remember to call me? How are you and dad?" This call came from Guan Yuntian's mother, Ma Guihua. Guan Yuntian was a little surprised when he heard his mother's voice.

"We are all doing well, how are your family of three?"

"We're still like that, it's okay. Mom, are you calling for something?"

"Yuntian, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?" Ma Guihua said casually, not blaming her.

"Mom, I'm sorry! Don't blame me, old man. There are too many things going on and you really can't take care of them. Is my dad angry?"

"No, I know you are busy, why are you angry? I just said it casually."

"Oh, so you have something else to do?"

"You and your family of three can come back the day after tomorrow," Ma Guihua said.

"The day after tomorrow----, the day after tomorrow is not Sunday, can't we go back on the weekend?"

"The day after tomorrow is your father's sixty-fifth birthday."

"Ouch! Blame me, blame me, such a big thing, I almost forgot about it, yes, I remembered it, the day after tomorrow is my dad's birthday, okay, okay, we must go back!" Guan Yuntian slapped his forehead, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

He blamed himself.

"Hey, why are you blaming me? You have so many things to think about every day. It's normal for you not to think about it for a moment. Didn't I call you in advance to remind you? You and your family will be back then." Ma Guihua understands her very well.

son.

"Mom, thank you for reminding me. If I forget, my dad will be very angry!"

"Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Your dad has never seen the world and is petty." Ma Guihua always favors her son.

Putting down the phone, Guan Yuntian looked at the desk calendar on his desk. The day after tomorrow was Thursday. He immediately made a note on that page. He must not forget to go home to celebrate his old father's birthday!

Before leaving get off work the day before, Guan Yuntian said hello to Ye Jiayi, saying that something happened in his hometown and he would go back to his hometown the next day.

That night, Guan Yuntian asked Zhou Yuanyuan to ask for leave from the kindergarten. The child would not go to kindergarten the next day, and the family of three had to go back to their hometown to celebrate the old man's birthday.

At around eight o'clock on Thursday morning, the driver took Guan Yuntian to the largest supermarket in the county and bought a lot of gifts, including tobacco, wine, tea, meat and vegetables, and filled the trunk of the car. Then, he went home to pick up Zhou Yuanyuan and her children.

Driving to Guanyang Village, Jinzhai Township, Guan Yuntian’s hometown.

From the city to Guanyang Village, 20 kilometers are provincial highways. After getting off the main road, the 10 kilometers leading to Guanyang Village are rural roads. The road surface is narrow and bumpy. The ten kilometers required for this journey is

The time was longer than the 20 kilometers on the provincial highway. The total distance was 30 kilometers, and it took a little more than an hour to arrive.

The car stopped at the alley entrance of Guan Yuntian's hometown. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when the family got off the car. When they entered the yard, several close relatives had already arrived. Guan Yuntian greeted them one by one and asked them for help.

The driver moved the things from the car into the house.

"We have vegetables and meat at home, wouldn't it be superfluous for you to bring these things back?" Guan Chenglin, the old father, always had a lukewarm expression.

"Dad, where are the things you prepared?" Guan Yuntian asked.

"It's all here, isn't it enough?" Lao Guan pointed to the ingredients on the makeshift chopping board in the kitchen.

Guan Yuntian's driver, Master Li, once helped others prepare banquets and had some experience in this area. He put down what he was doing and came over, "Old man, these ingredients you have can feed two tables at most."

"Dad, how many relatives and friends do you estimate will come at noon?" Guan Yuntian asked.

"There are only two or three tables of people."

"Master Li, how many tables can we bring these things for?" Guan Yuntian turned around and asked.

“At least enough for two tables.”

"It's getting late, hurry up, but in addition to vegetables, the meat we bring is mainly cooked food." Guan Yuntian urged.

"It's not too late. The chicken, duck and fish that need to be stewed have already started." Lao Guan was not in a hurry.

In the kitchen, Ma Guihua hired four helpers, two men and two women, to choose and wash vegetables, cut vegetables and change knives, fry and fry. She was very busy. Guan Yuntian came into the kitchen and greeted everyone. At this time, a

My uncle ran over and said, "Yuntian, we have a guest."

From the kitchen to the yard, I saw two middle-aged people in their fifties walking in one after another. Of course Guan Yuntian knew him. The one walking in front was Secretary Yang, the village party secretary of Guanyang Village, and the one following behind was Guan Yuntian.

Although the village chief has received five blessings, Guan Yuntian has to call him eldest brother.

Guanyang Village only has two surnames: Guan and Yang. If the person named Guan serves as the village chief, the secretary must come from Yang, and vice versa. This has been a tradition for many years. In terms of seniority, Guan Yuntian has to call Party Secretary Yang uncle.

Guan Yuntian stepped forward to shake hands with Party Secretary Yang and Village Chief Guan and exchange greetings. The two parents each took out fifty yuan and gave it to Guan Chenglin, "I don't know what gift to buy you. Please accept our little kindness."

Lao Guan looked at his son, wondering whether he would accept the money or not?

Guan Yuntian smiled and said, "Just accept the wishes of the secretary and village chief." If you refuse, how embarrassing will it be for the guests?

Two tables and some benches had been set up in the yard. Guan Yuntian invited the guests to sit down and made tea for them in disposable paper cups. Then he also sat down and chatted with the guests.

"We rarely see you, but there is a question that we are not sure about. Should we call you Mr. Guan, or should we call you Yuntian like before?" Village Chief Guan joked.

"It doesn't matter what you call me, but just like before, call me Yuntian. It seems friendly." Guan Yuntian never cares about these things.

"I think it's better to call you the title. Since you are the general manager and chairman, I think it's more dignified to call you Mr. Guan." Secretary Yang insisted.

"Uncle, there is no need to be so solemn at home. I am a native of Guanyang Village. You are all my fellow villagers. You should be more relaxed."

"Let me tell you, it's better to be casual. In today's situation, if Secretary Yang is willing to call me Mr. Guan, of course that's fine. I want to call you Brother Yuntian, and you have to agree. What do you think?" After all, it is

My brother, Village Chief Guan, seems to be more casual.

"Brother makes sense, let's just leave it at that." Guan Yuntian also had a relaxed expression.

"We have guests again!" someone shouted outside the yard.

Following the sound, I saw a man who looked like a cadre in his forties walking this way. Guan Yuntian was unfamiliar with the person. Secretary Yang, the village party secretary, said: "Isn't that the mayor of our township, Zhao? Why is he?

coming?"

Village Chief Guan on the side whispered: "He has inquired with me several times and always wants to meet Yuntian." That's it!

"Have you two arrived early?" Mayor Zhao asked as he came closer.

"We have just arrived." Yang Zhishu replied.

The village chief hurriedly introduced: "Head Zhao, he is Mr. Guan Yuntian. Yuntian, he is the head Zhao of our Jinzhai Township."

Guan Yuntian stepped forward and shook hands with the guests warmly, "Welcome Mayor Zhao!"

"I finally met the private entrepreneur who is famous throughout the city in person today. I am honored to meet Mr. Guan!"
Chapter completed!
