The Past …
Jiang Xianbang was an orphan since he was a child. He had no parents, no children, and grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. When he was eight years old, he met a man of the lower class and was adopted as a son. From then on, he did the disgraceful business of digging graves and slowly learned a lot of real skills. After taking care of the man and sending him off, he officially inherited this so-called business. But Jiang Xianbang was smart and his brain was particularly flexible. He took a shortcut and became bigger and bigger. When he was in his early thirties, they encountered a big deal, which absolutely made everyone rich instantly. Someone in his core team finally had a disloyalty and killed the other four people except Jiang Xianbang at that time.
These people were old friends who had followed him for many years. When Jiang Xianbang was thirty years old, he no longer did things by himself. He was only responsible for contacting customers or being a cultural relic dealer. Jiang Xianbang, who was lucky enough to escape, found someone to kill the disloyal brother. After burying the five old fellows who had been with him for more than ten years, he washed his hands of the business.
But Jiang Xianbang believed in karma. If he did not do this kind of thing, he did not know what else he could do. He was even more afraid of retribution. So he visited Mingchuan and spent a lot of money to find a master. Finally, he met Qin Sheng's grandfather in Zhongnan Mountains and visited the old Taoist priest in Louguantai, which showed him a clear path.
From then on, Jiang Xianbang came to the Yangtze River Delta. Relying on the good things and funds in his hands, he made a lot of friends and was lucky to meet a few noble people. From then on, his career became more and more smooth. But Jiang Xianbang was very low-key. In the past twenty years, he had accumulated a lot of good karma for himself, but he had never dared to get married, let alone have children.
Now that Jiang Xianbang was over fifty years old, his biggest headache was who would inherit his family business. Over the years, he had cultivated a lot of young people, but there were only a few who could really catch his eye. They were either too shrewd, too small, or limited ability and so on. In short, he had not found a satisfactory candidate. As for Qing 'er, he had never thought about it. Not to mention Qing' er's character, because he was too low-key, outsiders did not understand his things. A woman could not bear these things at all. Moreover, he only hoped that Qing 'er could live a normal life, just like Qin Sheng hoped that Han Bing could enjoy life in her own way.
Why?
Because once they chose this path, they would definitely not live a comfortable and happy life.
At first, he thought that after Qing 'er got married, if her boyfriend was not bad, he could try to train him. However, this girl never had the intention to get married. Jiang Xianbang never thought about forcing her. Later, he thought that the boyfriend Qing' er found would definitely not be the kind of young man he liked, so he could only give up.
Therefore, Jiang Xianbang completely gave up on this matter later. He felt that he should let nature take its course. There would be no result if he was too stubborn. Until he met Qin Sheng a few years ago.
When Jiang Xianbang first met Qin Sheng, it was in the courtyard near Louguantai in Zhongnan Mountains. There were no walls in the courtyard, only two old houses with green bricks and gray tiles. There was only one family nearby. There was a village further away. The courtyard was full of flowers, grass and various vegetables. There were also two locust trees that were the most common in the rural areas of Guanzhong.
It was a hot summer. At dusk, under the locust tree, an old man was lying on a recliner, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, closing his eyes to rest and listening to Peking Opera. A five or six-year-old child was holding a branch in his hand, playing the so-called sword moves naughtily. He was even shouting Li Bai's "Chivalry". After reciting the poem, he kept repeating the sentence, "Ten steps to kill, a thousand miles to leave no trace." Unfortunately, he fell down in the end. After getting up, he looked back at the old man and found that the old man did not see him. He patted the soil and continued to play. There was a Chinese rural dog and a few old hens beside him.
This scene was very harmonious. Jiang Xianbang felt that this was the life he wanted the most when he was old. He did not know if he was tired or thirsty, but he walked into the courtyard inexplicably.
As for the rest of the story, needless to say, that was the first time he saw Qin Sheng.
After that, he never went to see the old man again. It was not that he did not want to go, but the old man said that there was no need to come again. Even if he came, he would not be able to see him. Therefore, he did not step into the ancient city again and did not see Qin Sheng again.
Until Qin Sheng went to Shanghai to study at university. There was a time when the fight at Fudan University was too big. Everyone in their dormitory was almost expelled. At that time, they did not know each other's specific identity and background. After all, they were all college students. They were brothers in the same dormitory. What they cared about was this relationship. After leaving society, they might care about the background of strangers and so on.
At that time, the matter was very big. The whole Fudan University knew about it. Several students were beaten up and hospitalized. After that, Qin Sheng's dormitory was peaceful. In fact, the three people behind the scenes had already informed their families. At that time, Qin Sheng had no choice. He also knew that this matter might delay the future of these people. In the end, he found Jiang Xianbang.
The big matter in the eyes of ordinary people was naturally nothing to Jiang Xianbang. He just casually said a word and this matter would be over. Who knew that before he showed up, this matter had already been settled. After that, Jiang Xianbang curiously inquired about what happened. It turned out that there were three rich playboys living in the same dormitory. Only Qin Sheng did not have any background.
After this matter, Jiang Xianbang and Qin Sheng ate together without any taboo. He directly said that he did not help. The three people in Qin Sheng's dormitory were all from powerful families and had already settled this matter.
At first, Qin Sheng really thought that it was Jiang Xianbang who did it. Only then did he know the whole story. However, in the dormitory, he still behaved as usual and did not mention anything. Later, he gradually learned about the family background of these three rich playboys who pretended to be weak.
Later on, Jiang Xianbang also helped Qin Sheng with a few things, but they were insignificant. The two of them still had very little interaction. However, from that time on, he cared a lot about this young man. He liked him in all aspects.
But he never thought of deceiving this young man, because he knew that behind this young man stood a terrifying old man, who might have already paved the way for his grandson.
Later, Qin Sheng disappeared completely. Even he could not contact him. Time passed slowly for more than two years. Until last month, when Qin Sheng returned to Shanghai again and called him.
When he knew that the old man had passed away and Qin Sheng would stay in Shanghai in the future, he half-jokingly asked Qin Sheng to come to his place. This sentence was half true and half false, so Qin Sheng naturally refused.
Then, Qin Sheng was involved in the storm of the Han family. In order to return the favor in the past, Jiang Xianbang, who did not want to offend others and cause trouble, had no choice but to help him. However, he also found that this young man had more shining points.
But he did not expect that today, Qin Sheng looked for him and actually took the initiative to ask.
At this moment, Jiang Xianbang's heart was already blooming with joy, but he still kept calm.
Hearing Qin Sheng firmly said that he did not regret it, Jiang Xianbang had already made up his mind. He slowly asked, "Then what do you think? You can come, but I have to figure out what you want. Otherwise, if I directly let you be the vice president, I guess you will not be willing."
"I am too young. Even if you let me be the vice president, I don't have that ability. I want to start from the bottom, step by step, slowly," Qin Sheng said truthfully. He knew his limits.
Jiang Xianbang pondered for a few seconds, thinking about where to put Qin Sheng. After thinking for a few minutes, he finally made a decision and said, "Well, then start from the bottom. I have a private club called Shangshan Ruoshui. Usually, it entertains some high-ranking officials and nobles. If you are interested, then start from Shangshan Ruoshui."
"When can I start to work?" Qin Sheng did not want to waste too much time, so he said directly.
Jiang Xianbang laughed and said, "Anytime, depending on your time, I will inform them later."
"Don't expose my relationship with you. I don't want others to make irresponsible remarks," Qin Sheng said casually. This was the truth. After all, he did not go there to gild.
Jiang Xianbang took a puff of the cigar and scolded with a smile, "You don't need to say that. You talk a lot of nonsense."
At this time, a servant walked over slowly and said, "Mr. Jiang, lunch is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"I have talked so much nonsense with you. I am hungry. Let's go and have lunch. Drink with me." Jiang Xianbang put down the cigar and held Qin Sheng's hand and said with a smile.
"I can drink. Do you have Xifeng 375?" Qin Sheng curled his lips and said. He knew that Jiang Xianbang could drink more than others. He was no match for him at all.
Jiang Xianbang was stunned for a moment and said, "There is Xifeng. It is good wine that can't be bought in the market. This Xifeng 375, I have never heard of it."
"Never mind. Remember to keep a few boxes in the future. I will definitely come here to eat and drink in the future." Qin Sheng said disapprovingly.
"Damn, why are you so long-winded? Do you want to eat or not?"
"Yes."
They put their arms around each other's shoulders and went to the restaurant. They were not like elders and juniors at all. They were more like a gang of scoundrels.
Qin Sheng and Jiang Xianbang spent the whole afternoon in this old Shanghai villa. Jiang Xianbang was interesting at the table. He persuaded Qin Sheng to drink with all kinds of words and finally drank one and a half liters of white wine. He was almost the same.
Finally, Qin Sheng scolded loudly, "You old thing, how can you be so thick-skinned? You take advantage of your seniority. Alas, I really fell into the wrong boat."
"How can you talk to the boss like this? Believe it or not, I will fire you tomorrow. " Jiang Xianbang was not angry. He laughed. He did not know why he always liked to play with young people. He did not want to be with those old men. He always felt that it was too boring.
Qin Sheng shouted, "I haven't come to work yet."
They drank from the dining table to the living room. In the end, they did not know whether they drank too much or were really sleepy. They fell asleep directly. Jiang Xianbang lay on the sofa and Qin Sheng lay on the carpet.
Seeing this situation, the servants could not move them back to the room. They could only cover them with blankets. The air conditioner was a little cold. They were afraid that they would catch a cold.
When Qing 'er came back, it was already more than 10 o' clock. Unless there was something, she basically came back before 11 o 'clock. She never let her uncle worry.
But the scene in the living room made her look surprised. After asking the servants, she knew what was going on.
She knew her uncle very well. He would not get drunk. But what was going on today?
