Hidden Assassin

..

As usual, the ceremony lasts for seven days, and people come to pay respects one after another. During the day, it is a game of cards. If it is normal, and the relationship with the deceased is not too close, for these people, it may be regarded as a rare opportunity to gather. , of course, this time is different.

Although Huang Bingxiang was quarantined for inspection in the past two months, and the information he got from any source believed that he would no longer have a chance to turn the tables, some people still had some hope after all, looking for connections everywhere, running around for it, but the inspection was over at this time , has already begun to prepare to file a lawsuit, and the whole matter is tantamount to conclusive evidence and a certainty. When this kind of Huang's family collapsed, such a funeral suddenly happened again. Perhaps the sadness for the old man was in the minority, and the majority was due to the feeling of boredom and confusion combined with the things that happened in the past two months.

The people running back and forth but somewhat at a loss, the dull atmosphere, the quiet children, the formulaic worship process in the mourning hall, and the entire Huang's villa, accompanied by the monotonous funeral song, seemed to be shrouded in a haze and dejected. in the halo. Occasionally, people passed by the side of the road, pointing inwards, some happy, some suspicious, some disdainful.

In the past, if the Huang family had a funeral and held it with great fanfare, passers-by would see it, and they would probably say "thousands of wreaths", "the secretary of the municipal party committee has come", "that's the boss of a certain company of such and such group" Such envious sentences, as if this is not a funeral but a happy event that can be used to show off.

The downfall of Huang Bingxiang this time will have an impact on the Huang family and shake all walks of life in Jianghai. Although the official crimes at the provincial level will never be revealed to the outside world until the trial is over, there are not a few people who know about it. It has already become "a family of corrupt officials" and "there is more than enough to die for". If you are a person who lives nearby, watching the Huang family continue to develop step by step, and then decline overnight, I am afraid that there is a bit of embarrassment in the words Affection.

If it was in the past, there would be crowds at such funerals, and there would be constant traffic in the streets and alleys outside. It was a very lively atmosphere. People came to worship and give gifts one by one, and then in this atmosphere, they casually talked about business with familiar people, waiting for dinner, and children were joking around everywhere. When it is too much, the adults will scold it, after all, it is a funeral. It's impossible to be so ostentatious. Relatively speaking, the atmosphere this time really fits the taste of a funeral.

The tree falls and the hozen scatter. But as long as the emaciated camels in the Huang family are bigger than horses, there are still a lot of people coming and going to worship, but some party and government leaders will naturally not set foot in the muddy water of the Huang family. Most of the bosses and wealthy businessmen who still talk about human feelings also paid homage, and then lied that they had something to leave early, and they would stay here for lunch or dinner. Naturally, there will be no more business talks. Huang Bingxiang cared too much about the family when he was in power, and this time he was implicated. Countless small companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. Most of the people talking in groups in courtyards and villas have sad faces. Some people often quarrel with others when they talk about things going wrong.

Under such circumstances. Those who harm the fish in the pond are mostly those children who are still young and don't know how to read words and expressions. When they play inside and outside the house, they may be scolded at any time. After a day or two, even naughty children will probably be scolded. Trembling, in the late spring and early summer, the sky in the afternoon is gloomy, which just reflects the atmosphere that even innocent children seem heavy. Mingle, the sound of someone coming to pay homage is monotonously heard from the loudspeaker from time to time.

At the back of the villa, in a corridor close to the lawn and the pond, Yahan was standing with a man in her fifties. Her head was rolled up behind her head, she wore black wide-brimmed tortoiseshell eyes, and a white shirt with a butterfly collar. , a black jacket, the same plain white spring skirt, a tall figure with thin heels, it is just a mature and low-key intellectual woman dressed, walking slowly and talking at the same time.

"...The matter of the Huang family, I sigh... At the time of the reform and opening up, their Huang family was considered to be developing. At that time, Huang Wuping was still in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. The villa of the Huang family was also the place where Jiang Hai got rich early at that time. The symbol of a generation, my family’s company took over the design, and my elder brother personally supervised the construction. Later, Huang Wuping retired, and the Huang family’s second child... Oh, at that time, Huang Wuping’s generation was still in charge of the Huang family. We are all used to calling it that way. He...he had smooth sailing in his official career, but Huang Wuping also offended some people when he was in office. After ten years of support, he was even promoted to the position of secretary of the provincial party committee. In fact, he wanted to make his family better, but thinking about it, he was too generous with his family, and even let him take care of his family during the financial crisis. This family has survived, if you give him a few more years, maybe the economic system of the Huang family will be really stable, it's a pity, these people are so ambitious, things happened at such a sensitive time... ".

While talking, the old man shook his head slightly, and Yahan smiled. She is not very familiar with the Huang family, and there is no direct business relationship between the two families. Naturally, it is not good to express opinions on these matters of the Huang family, and just said: " Uncle Geng, what do you think of the future of the Huang family after this incident?"

The old man glanced at her with a smile: "Your Zhang family has always only been engaged in heavy industry, and has nothing to do with the business of the Huang family. Why do you want to focus on this side?"

"Well, Uncle Geng, you know that I never care about family affairs. I know that Uncle Geng, your vision has always been accurate, and you just care about it."

"The Huang family..." The old man surnamed Geng was silent for a while, "When Huang Bingxiang's relationship was escorted before, these people spread too many branches and leaves, as if they wanted to intervene in everything, but the foundation was not stable. , No one will let go of the market profits they vacated. If everyone divides it up, one-fifth of it can survive. The internals of the Huang Group still have some basics. We roughly estimated Take a look, the total assets of the Huang family, including all the relationship networks, were worth about 13 billion before. After the first batch of problems are dealt with, it is not bad to leave 2 billion to 3 billion. "

Yahan frowned slightly: "Big shrink..."

"This is just an optimistic estimate. If the Huang family really wants to keep the 2 billion to 3 billion yuan, it is still a big enterprise in China, but this also requires the decision-making level of the Huang family to have a certain vision and be able to make choices. At this time, they There should be the determination of a strong man to break his wrists, not to care about any messy development, and only to do food processing with their basic foundation. Maybe they can make a way according to their original accumulation. If they are reluctant to give up everything, then the next two years In the past few years, it is not impossible for them to be directly divided and annexed by others."

"Looking at the actions of the decision-makers of the Huang family in the past few years, I'm afraid the situation will not be too optimistic."

"Not optimistic." Geng Lao shook his head and echoed, "This kind of thing... Seeing him build up Zhulou. Seeing him entertain guests, seeing his building collapse, alas... By the way, it will be two weeks. My second granddaughter Man Yue, niece Yahan, have you received the invitation?"

"Invitation card..." Yahan frowned slightly and thought about it, "I haven't come yet, but my father and mother have already said. Xiao Jingping is full moon, so she must go."

"Haha, look at my memory, Jianzhong and the others haven't sent out the invitation yet. But it's okay, you can't come if you don't come, niece Yahan. There were also some young and promising young men who came over that day. Uncle Geng will give you Pick one. Or you can pick it yourself. I believe in your charm, niece Yahan, then

Small is something no one can stop. "

"What about it. Uncle Geng." Yahan laughed, "You uncles tell me to introduce a boyfriend to me as soon as you see me. Haven't I become an old aunt who can't get married?"

"You will be twenty-four after the Chinese New Year. We people have watched you grow up. You can marry later if you want to, but you have to find a boyfriend... well, I won't rush you, anyway, it will be you when the time comes It’s a good thing to choose by yourself, with a high vision. Anyway, Jianghai is so big, I don’t believe you can’t find someone who doesn’t like you.” Mr. Geng smiled and waved his hand, “Well, Fang Zhitian and Fang Chang arrived in Jianghai today. Yahan, are you going to the reception held by the side? If you go, Cui Lao and I will wait for you to leave together."

"Well... still not, I may have dinner at Huang's house in the evening before going back." Yahan smiled, and both of them stopped.

"Eat at Huang's house?"

Mr. Geng frowned slightly, and immediately relaxed again, but the doubts in his heart still existed. If the Huang family was still in power, they would come to pay respects at the funeral, and then everyone would have a meal and chat before leaving. It's normal, but it's just politeness, but it's not necessary, especially in today's situation, Fang Zhitian is a giant straddling the economic and political circles, even if Huang Bingxiang is still in office, everyone will not miss the evening because of this funeral Now that Huang Bingxiang has collapsed, and Zhang and Huang have never been friendly, this little niece would rather be here...

However, the reason why she did this was probably just because she still didn't care about the family affairs. When she thought about it, she felt relieved. Seeing the somewhat decadent Huang Haoyun coming down from the upstairs not far away, she was staring at Yahan's place at this moment. Walking over from behind, he also smiled: "Then I'll talk to Mr. Cui now, I guess you young people are not interested in chatting with old men like us, but if you still have time after dinner, I think it's better to go to the reception Go up and take a look, you are in the Sacred Heart Academy, it is also beneficial to meet Fang Zhitian and those people. Well, bye bye...don't follow me here...".

"Where it is... Goodbye, Uncle Geng..." I wanted to follow him for a few more steps, but when I saw Mr. Geng's gesture that seemed to indicate something, when I turned around, I saw Huang Haoyun, who I had with him five years ago. I have had a little intersection with men.

In the Huang family bribery case, Huang Haoyun's father, Huang Bingxing, had already been arrested at this time. Huang Haoyun was also involved in it, but he was barely able to get away. There is no need to discuss the joints in detail, and it is extremely bitter to think about it.

I remember that in the summer of 1994, when I just came back from Cambridge, I had experienced a frenzy of blind dates. Huang Haoyun was one of the suitors, but the two parties fell through before they even had a word. I don't like it, but now I think about it, it's also because of him. I came to this Huang's villa for the first time, and then I met Jiaming. Five years are not long or short. Looking at the man in front of him, the once high-spirited dude is now depressed. Although he is still wearing an expensive and neat suit, he exudes a gloomy aura no matter what, just like the entire Huang family mansion. , There was also a sigh in my heart.

"Hi, Huang Haoyun."

"Ah, hi, Yahan... Uh, I saw it from behind, it seems to be you..." In fact, from the time we met, there was not much interaction between the two. When Yahan just came back from England, she was slim , not only beautiful in appearance, but also full of attractive and unique charms. He felt that the two families were well matched. After the pursuit failed, he felt unwilling because of his self-esteem, so he always remembered this figure in his heart. Five years have passed, he has achieved nothing, and even his family has begun to fall apart, but the woman in front of him has become more mature and confident, the perfect combination of beauty and intelligence, coupled with that elegant temperament, at this moment only makes him feel that the two sides are in love. After a long distance and a slight confusion, I found a topic that was a little bit of trouble: "Uh, that's... Mr. Geng from Hengjian Group?"

"Yeah, his second granddaughter was born not long ago, and he was talking about babies." Yahan smiled, stretched out her hand to caress her temples by her ears, and although she felt a little sympathetic to the man in front of her, she couldn't find anything to talk about after all. Come.

"Well, huh..." Huang Haoyun's eyes were a little dazed. Hengjian Group is a big company. He must have known about such things in the past, and he will list the participation in the full moon wine in the memorandum, but now, he has such a banquet. Not being qualified to go is already a problem. After thinking about it, I could only say: "That...you came to find Jiaming."

"Yeah." Yahan nodded and laughed, not trying to hide it, "I just came here, met Mr. Geng and talked for a while, but I haven't seen him yet. It's three o'clock, so I'm still taking a nap... I'll go to his room to find him, please..."

"……bye."

After a long time, Huang Haoyun realized that he should raise his hand, looking at the beautiful figure that kept moving away from his field of vision, it was difficult to sort out the complicated emotions in his heart.

***********

The following is not counted as money.

To be honest, I haven't been able to do it in the past two days, mainly because I read two books, halfway through, I couldn't stop, so I recommend it here.

The first one is "Rebirth: Official Road Business", I am afraid that most people have read it. I was a little disgusted with the book describing the officialdom, but after reading it, I feel very good, except for a certain sex scene copied from "Norwegian "The Forest of Forest" made me feel a little disgusted...because I am a loyal Murakami fan...but basically they are all good and I want to recommend them.

The second book is "Rewriting Life". I read it once before, and in the first few chapters, the main character wanted to get rich, which made me give up. This time I read it for the second time, I gritted my teeth and read a few chapters, and was attracted by the atmosphere in the book. To be honest, when I was preparing to open urban essays, I conceived three styles. The first one is the beginning of the scrapped manuscript in the work, that is, the one where the protagonist has an older sister named Jian Suyan. This protagonist once struggled hard for life , was a hooligan, worked in the underworld, was a killer, and finally worked for the country in vain. He was an official at least, but no matter when, his body and mind fell into a dark quagmire. He loves the important girl in his life, so after rebirth, he will carefully guard this happiness, live only for his sister, and try to keep the kindness expected by his sister, but his heart is extremely cold. Such a person cannot be liked. Any woman other than my sister, although you can yy,,, I deviated from my original intention of writing a light-hearted story, so I was abandoned. The second style is naturally hidden killing, trying to entertain yourself while entertaining others, not caring about information, historical facts, or any bu. Reproduce the life style I experienced in the 90s, the protagonist will not be too outrageous, and he will not be too perverted. He will be a normal person who is a little useless, masters some resources for rebirth, and describes some simple yy, It is a style I am looking forward to to be in contact with the dark world, but the problem is that my sense of participation in the era is relatively weak. I have my own feelings, but I have basically forgotten about specific events. I can only give up. But when I read this book, it really made me feel the feeling I wanted to express, a naive and pure era, the author's portrayal is very simple, and I like the faint yy, if it is I will write, it must be so well written. I think that if you are a friend who likes hidden killing, you should also like this book, and I sincerely recommend it.
