The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

Yellow croaker, crab, oyster...

Tofu, eggplant and potatoes.

The three women worked together to prepare a table of luxurious meals using ordinary ingredients.

The taste is very average.

But it is very fragrant and delicious in the mouth.

Good food and good wine.

Zhao Donglai went outside to get two bottles of Maotai.

It’s not the fakes that later became all over the streets.

Old rules.

The son pours the wine, and the father drinks.

aside.

The bowls of the three women were full of dishes.

You give it to me, I'll give it to you.

It's hard to deny the kindness.

At first, Zhao Donglai kept giving his wife a wink to indicate something.

But after eating a few taels of yellow soup, I forgot everything.

Most of the day has passed by waiting for most of the dishes on the dinner table to be gone.

The three women began to scramble to clear away the dishes.

The two old men, like real old men, made sobering tea.

The atmosphere is great.

So good that Zhao Donglai always had a happy smile on his face.

How could Zhao Jiangchuan not seize such an opportunity?

He picked up the teapot and helped Zhao Donglai refill the teacup in front of him.

The bright yellow silk thread is left along the spout and into the cup.

"Crash..." in the sound.

Zhao Jiangchuan asked with a slight smile.

"Dad, how do you feel about work now?"

Zhao Donglai was startled.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"It's good. What's wrong?"

What else could be wrong.

Zhao Jiangchuan was disgusted by Zhang Xiangde's face and had to consider any possibility.

But there are some things that he still worries about.

If he were alone, he could do it at any time.

But with his father inside, he had to restrain himself a lot.

That feeling of being afraid of one's hands and feet is very uncomfortable.

Crazy Zhao.

But unscrupulously.

Now it's okay if we don't trample on the rules, but some people actually want to use the rules to suppress others.

How could Zhao Jiangchuan bear this kind of anger again?

Although Xiao Jialiang can protect Zhao Donglai with all his strength.

But with Zhao Jiangchuan's character, he absolutely does not want any deviation to occur.

Only with absolute control can you be foolproof.

The best way.

Naturally, it is necessary for Zhao Donglai to completely break away from this circle, or even change his nationality.

Under Zhao Donglai's doubts, Zhao Jiangchuan smiled and replied.

"Dad. Look, our family is not short of money now. Don't I want you and my mother to take a break? I bought several estates in the United States, and I also have some properties in Zambia and Zimbabwe. How about you Are you going out with my mom for a walk?"

"..."

Zhao Donglai did not answer the call.

He picked up the cigarette on the table and put it in his mouth.

Zhao Jiangchuan did not dare to take it lightly.

He picked up the lighter and took the initiative to light a cigarette for his father.

"Paji..."

Zhao Donglai took a long puff of cigarette.

After spitting out the smoke, he frowned.

"Xiaochuan. Do you want me to resign and go abroad?"

Zhao Jiangchuan did not deny it.

He also lit up a cigarette and started smoking.

After tasting it for a moment, he answered.

"Dad. You must know more about some things than me. Only if you go out with my mother can I feel at ease. It is best to become an American citizen. Only then can I guarantee your absolute safety."

"Paji..."

Zhao Donglai took two puffs of cigarette vigorously.

Then, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

That sarcastic smile was mocking what Zhao Jiangchuan said, or whether he was mocking himself.

After a long time.

He sighed.

"Xiaochuan. As for your father and I, we have lived for more than half of our lives. We have been working here for twenty years, and we have really understood many things."

Zhao Jiangchuan was overjoyed.

As long as he convinces his father, there is no need to talk to his mother.

But before he could speak, Zhao Donglai continued.

"I used to think that being a good person is not as rewarding as being a bad person. Being a good official is not even an official. If people don't let you play, you will stumble in anything you want to do. Be a good person and be a good official. .I can hardly live any longer. This shows that it is wrong.

So your dad can make a lot of money.

It's quite funny when you think about it.

I fished and fished, and I actually got promoted.

I have money, I have an official position, I have everything I have always wanted. It seems like this is right.

Xiaochuan, don’t you think it’s ridiculous! "

"..."

Zhao Jiangchuan said nothing.

He knew that his father was just feeling emotional for a moment.

But in Zhao Jiangchuan's heart, he was somewhat disappointed.

He had already roughly guessed what Zhao Donglai wanted to say.

However, as a son, it is not easy for him to interrupt what his father wants to say.

Zhao Donglai paused for a moment.

He took another sip from the tea cup before continuing.

"But Xiaochuan, do you know? Dad has always been very unhappy.

It's not just fear.

In addition to being afraid, there is also...

I couldn't tell what it was.

But it’s really frustrating.

There's something you might not know.

Your uncle Dong Han is actually not the boss. We had a brother before him.

But our eldest brother died of hunger that year.

Well, he just starved to death.

Not just your uncle.

In our hometown village, almost three out of ten families starved to death.

At that time, your uncle in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the youngest, and I was not yet born.

But I can't even imagine what kind of time it would take to starve people to death. "

Zhao Jiangchuan was stunned.

He didn't know about this at all.

No matter in the past life or in this life, I have never heard Zhao Dong say that.

My father was born in 1966.

If he wasn't born, wouldn't it be an era that history can't record?

Zhao Jiangchuan didn't know how to speak.

This time he already knew what Zhao Donglai wanted to say.

Zhao Donglai didn't care about Zhao Jiangchuan's reaction.

He's minding his own business.

"I heard your grandma say later that in those years, except for the families of the production team leader and the land security guard, almost no one in the entire production brigade had a child.

Why?

From women of childbearing age to older girls, almost all are starved to menopause.

At that time, your grandma said, I still don’t understand why the production captain can have a child in his family.

Later, when I understood it, I vowed never to be that kind of person in the future.

I want to be an upright person who can straighten my back.

But then I discovered that I couldn't do it.

I became the person I hated the most. "

"..."

"..."

Neither father nor son said anything more.

Zhao Donglai was immersed in his memories and didn't want to talk anymore.

Zhao Jiangchuan didn't know what to say.

He understood one thing.

In suffering, people will despair.

But in the desperate suffering, it unknowingly left a certain mark on that generation.

A mark that goes deep into the soul.

Some think it is a mark of pain.

So there are countless people who travel far away to try to erase that mark.

Some people know very well that they cannot wash away the marks.

So, they want to change something.

Or rather, I have thought about it.

Zhao Jiangchuan sighed.

He knew that he could no longer persuade his father.

really.

After a long silence, Zhao Donglai said leisurely.

"Xiaochuan. I want to make up for what I did before, is that okay?"
