Chapter 226 Causing trouble
Chapter 226 Causing trouble
When I was a child, there was a hole in my heart, and when I grow up, I will try my best to fill it.
Yang Zhi didn't understand why anyone would like to drink alcohol, which was both unpleasant to the smell and difficult to drink. However, the most amazing thing about it was that it could relax one's five senses.
The faint smell of tobacco mixed with alcohol constantly stimulated the nerves and made Yang Zhi a little bolder.
Yang Zhi likes to be held, but she has never had such an opportunity since she was a child. She always feels envious when she sees other children.
Now that she had the chance, she tried her best to snuggle into his arms. When Xu Mingyuan's arm reached her back, she felt like he was wrapped tightly.
Yang Zhi, who likes to keep little secrets, will naturally not let them be discovered.
It was still early, Yang Zhi quietly left his arms, and after brewing for a while, he gently sat up, scratching the ground with his feet, stepping on his cotton slippers.
It was less than seven o'clock at this time. Xu Mingyuan had slept for five hours at most and was in a deep sleep. In fact, he could stay asleep for a while longer.
But when daybreak came, Yang Zhi's courage shrank back along with the darkness as the light came.
"My girl, did you sleep in the cabin? Where's Xiaoyuan?"
"My brother doesn't have a thick blanket to cover himself with anymore. I'll go check on him..."
Yang Zhi's heart tightened, and he did not answer the question directly, but just tried to find reasons to explain.
Swallowing his saliva secretly, Yang Zhi had never thought that his uncle would get up so early. It turned out that he usually slept for most of the day.
"Uncle, you got up so early."
"Well, it's a habit. How does Xiaoyuan treat you? He has never bullied you, has he?" Xu Jun asked.
"No, my brother has always been very good to me."
"There is a quilt in the room, give it to him."
"Okay, uncle, aren't you sleepy? Do you want to have breakfast?"
"I don't want to eat. Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat." Xu Jun put down the pen in his hand and said.
"I'm not hungry..."
Yang Zhi obediently went to the south room to get the quilt, and went to the study to cover Xu Mingyuan.
When Xu Mingyuan woke up, it was almost noon.
I slept well, but I was a little out of breath.
Xu Mingyuan looked down and saw that he was covered with several layers of quilts, with two thick quilts on top, which seemed to be the quilts from Xiao Yangzhi and the south room.
Seeing that there were two layers of thin short quilts underneath, Xu Mingyuan was speechless. Was he afraid that he would freeze to death?
No wonder he always felt like there was someone pressing on him in his dreams. He almost crushed him to death. After pulling back the quilt, Xu Mingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Jun looked okay except for the short hair on his head which was a bit eye-catching.
Identity cards, household registration books and other documents were placed on the coffee table. Xu Mingyuan picked up the household registration book and flipped through it. The names of Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi were still on it.
However, this is the old version. Xu Mingyuan has a fixed income and expenditure, and has long been an independent household. He even moved his household registration to Jiangcheng, and settled in the street office near Sailing Technology.
Seeing Xu Mingyuan holding the household registration book, Xu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Have you moved your household registration out?"
He found out about this when he went to report to the community yesterday, but he didn't say anything. It's a good opportunity to ask now.
Xu Mingyuan nodded and said, "Yes, we moved to Jiangcheng. It's more convenient there."
"Brother, you moved to Jiangcheng? Will you come back to Nanxi in the future?"
Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked timidly.
"Of course I will go back. I'm thinking of returning to Nanxi to retire in the future. In fact, it's the same everywhere. Jiangcheng is not far away. It only takes about an hour to drive there." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
Xu Jun didn't care about this before. He had never taken care of Xu Mingyuan since he was a child. The old man helped to bring him up. Now that he is 20 years old, he has even less control over him.
However, after spending a year and a half in prison, he felt somewhat disappointed that Xu Mingyuan had secretly moved his household registration.
Yang Zhi just sat there blankly, with a dull look in his eyes. He seemed to be in a bad mood and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Xu Mingyuan didn't go out at noon, and wanted to go out to eat, but was stopped by Xiao Yangzhi. Xu Jun didn't let her do it, and he cooked a pot of leftovers from yesterday, heated up a pot of rice and started eating.
In fact, the taste is not bad, but Xu Mingyuan always feels a little sad.
He has rarely eaten leftovers since he was a child. He always cooks and eats fresh meals at the same time.
Since staying with Xiao Yangzhi, they have to eat leftovers from time to time. Although Xu Mingyuan has changed some of her daily habits, she will still pick out some unfinished dishes and cook a bowl of noodles in the morning.
Xu Mingyuan has a casual personality. Since it is difficult to change him, let his father, who has been a rich second-generation since childhood, change him. He can hire a nanny to take care of the family and don't let this family be a mess.
"Dad, take this money first. Here's a card with about 100,000 yuan in it. If it's not enough, we can talk later."
Xu Mingyuan put the more than 30,000 yuan in cash in the bedside table and the bank card that had transferred some of the money on the coffee table. "I've brought back all the money you saved. I don't need you to give me money." Xu Jun said.
"Hey, we're family, so we don't have to gossip. The New Year is coming soon. Dad, go buy some clothes for Xiao Yangzhi." Xu Mingyuan knew that he was trying to save face, so he continued, "Let's move as soon as possible after the New Year. This neighborhood is about to be demolished, and the house title is still in Aunt Yang's name, so it's not convenient to live here."
Xu Jun smiled and said something, then said nothing more.
Xu Mingyuan knew that what he said was rude, so he didn't mention it again.
……
In the afternoon, Xu Mingyuan went to the Municipal Investment Promotion Office.
Last time, I just went to the investment dinner for free instead of attending the meeting, and someone caught me.
The person who received him was Duan Jianhe's secretary, Zhao Bingsheng, whom he had met once last year.
He was treated very warmly, personally introduced the construction work of the development zone, and talked about the future development prospects of Nanxi.
Nanxi is currently just a small fourth-tier city. Although its location is better than several neighboring counties and cities, its route is still the government selling land and engaging in large-scale development.
Around the millennium there was a low point in attracting investment, but with the support of selling land, local governments were not very short of money.
However, now it has been taken seriously again. Attracting investment is the icing on the cake and will be of great benefit to the local economic development.
However, a sentence from Zhao Bingsheng caught Xu Mingyuan's attention: As an outstanding young entrepreneur from Nanxi City, you have made great contributions to your hometown. After studying your father's materials, the sentence was too heavy...
As for the matter of Xu Mingyuan sending the briefcase, Zhao Bingsheng didn't even mention it, as if he had forgotten about it.
Anyone may forget such a thing, but a secretary will never forget it.
Since Zhao Bingsheng didn't bring it up, Xu Mingyuan naturally wouldn't say anything. After an enthusiastic conversation, he was personally escorted out of the compound by Zhao Bingsheng.
Xu Mingyuan had a headache. The focus of his career had shifted to Jiangcheng. He was not worried that this incident would affect him, but it would be troublesome if Tao Changming was involved.
The entire fortune of this future father-in-law is tied up in Nanxi, and Tao Changming has taken over Nanhua Chemical, while Xu Mingyuan actually controls Sailing Technology. No matter how you look at it, they seem to be the most suitable promoters of conspiracy theories.
When 05 just arrived, Xu Mingyuan thought that this year would be an easy one, but before January was over, a lot of troubles came knocking on his door.
Jiangcheng is the provincial capital, and Nanxi is a small city. Although the two regions are close, their business environments are completely different.
Small places offer very good initial conditions for attracting investment, and various tax reductions are very attractive, but the actual implementation is another matter. The various regulations are more uncomfortable than directly collecting taxes.
Xu Mingyuan doesn't mind returning to Nanxi to invest in the future, but he is not planning to come back now, which poses a problem for him.
He had come into contact with Duan Jianhe dozens of times and knew very well what kind of person he was. What he cared most about was local development and he was almost indifferent to human feelings. It was difficult to satisfy his appetite.
He went back home first, and when Xu Jun brought Xiao Yangzhi back with a lot of bags, Xu Mingyuan called Xiao Yangzhi aside.
"There was a little girl named Duan Shihan in your junior high school classmate. Do you still remember her?"
"I remember." Yang Zhi nodded and asked with some confusion: "Brother, why are you asking this?"
"Did she contact you the other day?"
"Contacted."
"Did you tell me about me?"
"I mentioned it, but you weren't at home..."
Xu Mingyuan was indeed not at home at that time, but after Yang Zhi learned that Duan Shihan was looking for her brother, she even stopped answering her phone calls and pretended not to see it.
Being suddenly asked at this moment, Yang Zhi's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt as if he had made a mistake.
"Tsk, why didn't you tell me about this? Didn't I tell you who her father is?" Xu Mingyuan said with a frown.
"Brother, I'm sorry..."
Yang Zhi quickly lowered his head and dared not speak.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, let's just leave it at that."
Seeing her looking embarrassed and pitiful, Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and let her go play somewhere else.
That night.
Xu Mingyuan continued to drink with his father, and drank two more glasses because he was upset.
Xu Jun didn't think there was anything wrong, but the sensitive Yang Zhi noticed his mood changes.
I just seem to be causing trouble...
