Jiang Tian remembered that in his previous life, Huang Linger was completely obedient to him. The only thing she would stop him from doing was smoking.
Huang Linger probably hated him to the core, but she still had unrealistic fantasies and expectations. That was why she subconsciously stopped him when he smoked.
This proved a saying: Men and women who were once deeply in love always had a blind heart of self-abuse.
"Linger, I didn't go looking for Professor Huang because of you. Before this, I didn't even know that you were Professor Huang's daughter!"
Jiang Tian placed the cigarette box on the coffee table and said in a deep voice, "I've read your father's thesis. I think he's really talented and fits the needs of our Medicine King Group for future research. I also believe that he'll definitely achieve great things. This has nothing to do with the deal I made with you back then …"
Perhaps it was Jiang Tian's evaluation of Huang Zhihui that made the frost on Huang Linger's pretty face melt instantly.
Young girls always had a natural admiration for their fathers.
Even if Huang Zhihui's appearance shouldn't make others think that he was outstanding at first glance, and she had been ridiculed because of her father's research, Jiang Tian's approval of her father always eased her antagonistic feelings.
Jiang Tian saw Huang Linger's expression soften and knew that his words had some effect. He sighed in his heart that little girls were always easy to fool.
"Actually, I didn't make any deal with you. I wronged you before, and I also had the intention of deceiving you …"
Jiang Tian would rather Huang Linger continue to hate him than have her heart become twisted and lead a deformed life.
He said indifferently, "When your father comes back later, I'll say that you've already apologized. Even if it's me who should apologize to you — I'll also pretend that we've never met …"
"Why don't you lie to me anymore? Or is this another set of lies?"
Huang Linger's pretty face turned pale. She bit her lips so hard that they almost bled. Her heart was filled with unwillingness.
She didn't know which of Jiang Tian's words were true and which were false. Perhaps every word was a lie.
"I'm already married, and we have a good relationship. I'll treat you as my younger sister. If there's still some affection between us, you can treat me as your elder brother …"
Jiang Tian sighed softly and said these words with difficulty.
Just as he was about to say something else, he heard the sound of heels clicking on the floor. Ye Ziwei and Huang Zhihui were walking down the stairs, talking and laughing.
…
On this day, Jiang Tian was studying the design of the reactor in the villa. Suddenly, Zhen Shuai came looking for him.
Last year, when Jiang Tian returned to Qixia County for the first time, he had seen Zhen Shuai and Tan Guangxu, his two childhood friends, once.
At that time, it was Tan Guangxu and Zhen Shuai who had told him about Xixia Pharmaceutical Company's predicament. Jiang Tian had also casually dealt with Sun Hao, who had once slapped Zhen Shuai.
However, in the past six months, Jiang Tian hadn't contacted him. Jiang Tian also didn't feel the need to contact him.
Although Zhen Shuai couldn't be considered wealthy in his previous life, he had also lived a peaceful life. Jiang Tian didn't feel the need to drag him into his world of carnage.
"Jiang Tian, you're too cocky. How long have you been back in Jinling? I can't even ask you out. If I didn't ask Auntie, I wouldn't have known you were hiding here!"
Zhen Shuai sat down on the sofa and puffed out smoke with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Jiang Tian with a face full of "hidden bitterness".
Without waiting for Jiang Tian to reply, Zhen Shuai cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Tian and said with a smile, "You're cooped up at home every day. You don't even come out to play with me. What are you doing? Cultivating to become an immortal! "
Jiang Tian's head was filled with black lines. Zhen Shuai really hit the nail on the head. I really am cultivating to become an immortal. However, he said indifferently, "A pile of things. I'm currently setting up a laboratory in the Medicine King Group …"
Zhen Shuai wasn't a serious person at all. He had no interest in this kind of serious business. He said with a smile, "Let's go. Don't be cooped up at home every day. Let's go out and have some fun. Today, our Xixia Courtyard's disciples are having a gathering … "
As it turned out, there were quite a few disciples of the Xixia County's county government and county committee's courtyard who were working hard in Jinling. Thus, they formed a "Xixia Disciples Fellowship".
After all, they weren't familiar with the people and the place here. Everyone would often get to know each other and take care of each other if something happened.
"Jiang Tian, I also know that the Medicine King Group's current situation isn't too good."
Zhen Shuai became serious for once. With a dignified face, he said earnestly, "Our group of disciples works in all kinds of industries. Moreover, sometimes we'll bring some good friends over. Who knows, maybe they'll be of help to you and the Medicine King Group!"
Jiang Tian smiled bitterly in his heart. How could this group of disciples be of any help to him at this level?
However, seeing that Zhen Shuai was considerate for once, he gladly agreed.
…
The Xixia Disciples Club was located in a secluded alley in the Yuhua District.
Under the shroud of night, the small courtyard gurgled with spring water. The bamboo forest was dense, and the lights were blurred. It had a noble atmosphere.
"You're not bad. You're quite compatible with the surroundings …"
Zhen Shuai parked the Porsche Cayenne by the roadside. As the two of them walked into the courtyard, Jiang Tian smiled faintly and praised.
"It's not mine. It's Ou Yangbin's!"
Zhen Shuai smiled awkwardly and said, "This kid is doing well now. He opened a construction company in Jinling. His qualifications are very good, and he can undertake large projects. His assets have reached the scale of tens of millions. How can I compare to him?"
"Ou Yangbin's assets have also reached tens of millions …"
A trace of mockery appeared on Jiang Tian's face. His eyes were filled with contempt.
It was only tens of millions. In the eyes of others, it was considered a huge fortune. However, in Jiang Tian's eyes, it was just a drop in the ocean.
"Jiang Tian, I know you looked down on him when he was young, and you always bullied him. But it's different now!"
Zhen Shuai saw Jiang Tian's expression and said anxiously, "His father is now the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau in Jinling's Yuhua District. It's not like back then. Besides, Uncle Jiang and Auntie Jiang have lost their power in the Jiang family and the Medicine King Group. If you don't make some friends and help, you'll suffer in the Jiang family in the future! "
Since the old man's birthday before the Spring Festival, the Jiang family had gone through a series of changes.
However, these news were kept a secret from the public. They only released a few job announcements on the Medicine King Group's official website. However, Zhen Shuai was originally playful and active. He didn't pay attention to these things.
"Okay, I know. Don't worry!"
Jiang Tian patted his shoulder and walked toward the hall.
"Why is she here?"
However, as he walked, Jiang Tian was slightly stunned. He frowned and turned to look at a private room.
Jiang Tian had left his Divine Sense mark on the protective jade amulet. This jade amulet was worn by Huang Linger.
The next moment, he released his Divine Sense and saw Huang Linger sitting on the sofa in a private room. She was waiting for someone.
She frowned and looked worried. She seemed to be anxious and anxious.
"Jiang Tian, what are you doing? Let's go! "Zhen Shuai saw Jiang Tian in a daze and pulled him.
"Oh, nothing. Let's go!"
Jiang Tian's eyes flashed with a murderous look. His heart skipped a beat. "It's already March. Don't tell me that thing is going to happen …"
Jiang Tian remembered that in his previous life, Huang Linger borrowed money from Nie Feng and couldn't pay it back. In order to repay her father's debt, she had no choice but to give herself to him.
According to Ding Jiabi, it was in March of this year that Nie Feng invited Huang Linger to a private club and forced himself on her in the name of discussing the debt.
Huang Linger was very obedient and sensible. She was afraid that her father would fight with Nie Feng. She was even more worried that her mother, who was already on the verge of collapse, wouldn't be able to take the blow. So, she kept this matter a secret from her family.
That kind of bone-piercing pain, monstrous hatred, endless grievances, and fear could not be relieved or released in the slightest. They fermented and grew in her small body day by day, gradually becoming heavier and heavier. Finally, the pressure completely swallowed her entire mind, and also completely crushed her delicate body.
Later, she suffered from severe depression and even schizophrenia. After a long time of treatment, she was tortured. Finally, on Christmas Day in 2012, she jumped and died, ending her sad and lamentable life.
As his mind wandered, Jiang Tian walked into an exquisite private room. He saw a group of people from the elite family crowding around Ou Yangbin, who was sitting in the middle of the room, chatting and laughing.
Unlike the Jiang family members who liked to talk about sports cars, women, and fun, their topics were relatively high-end. It involved urban planning, the direction of policy, and business operations. It was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
"Don't think that the financial crisis in America will affect Hua Xia's real estate market. Don't worry, the government will definitely use real estate to boost the economy! Housing prices will usher in a period of explosive growth. Take the land that should be taken! "
Li Xingchen had an international perspective.
"I just asked my father to think of a way to buy a few houses in Jinling. I can guarantee that after selling them in a year, we will definitely earn 20%. If anyone has spare funds, you can do it with me!"
Zhang Yulin was a man of action.
His father had been transferred to the Housing Department. In the past few years, he had easily earned tens of millions just by speculating in real estate.
"I have carefully selected a few real estate stocks to hide. In three months, the profit has risen by 30%. Now, part of it has already been sold!" Liu Daolin cut in from another angle.
"Nie Zhanghai is determined to get that piece of land in Mount Fulong. He has already reorganized the Qingyun Society. Now, the decline caused by Sun Hao's disappearance has been swept clean. He is reinvigorated!"
"Recently, the Chen family has been investigating Chen Bo's death in Hubei Province. It seems that they have already made some progress and are preparing to launch a bloody revenge …"
Ou Yangbin didn't say much, but every word he said was important news. He set things right and hit the nail on the head.
Now that he was contracting projects under Nie Zhanghai, the tycoon of Jinling Real Estate, he was in contact with the rich and powerful politicians.
In this kind of situation, Zhen Shuai, who had been showing off in Qixia County, was a little timid. He pulled Jiang Tian to sit at the end and whispered:
"Jiang Tian, don't be anxious. Listen carefully to what they are talking about. It will be very beneficial for our future development!"
Looking at Zhen Shuai's serious expression, Jiang Tian felt that it was ridiculous, but he was also a little relieved. No matter what, Zhen Shuai now knew to work hard and fight for it.
Finally, there was a break. Zhen Shuai pulled Jiang Tian over and bowed: "Ouyang, brothers and sisters, I brought an old friend here today. Jiang Tian!"
"Oh, Jiang Tian is here. Take a seat!"
Ou Yangbin was stunned. He looked at Jiang Tian, then got up and pulled Jiang Tian to sit. He smiled and said: "How many years has it been since we last met?"
The two of them had their arms around each other's shoulders like brothers. However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Ou Yangbin had always hated Jiang Tian.
In the beginning, Ou Yangbin's father was only the deputy director of a county bureau. He couldn't be compared to Jiang Zhixing, who had been the deputy county magistrate for a long time.
Everyone said that a father's status depended on his son, but for the younger generation, it was the son relying on his father's power. Back then, Ou Yangbin was often beaten up by Jiang Tian. So many years had passed, but Ou Yangbin still had a deep grudge against Jiang Tian when he talked about it.
Most likely, this guy was going to properly bully Jiang Tian today and ruthlessly take his revenge.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They were all in the mood to watch a good show.
