Twenty Years in Business

Chapter 1199 It’s All Over

An old acquaintance, Liu Zhi, stood at the door.

The last time they met was when Zhang Xiaobai got married. Liu Zhi came to give a gift, but Zhang Xiaobai confiscated it and told him his purpose.

Shi Lei wanted to follow him out, but Zhang Xiaobai didn't let him. He walked out of the yard and handed Liu Zhi a cigarette.

Liu Zhi showed a trace of surprise, took the cigarette and smiled bitterly: "Should I say thank you?"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, did Yuan Yang look for you?"

At that time, Yuan Yang established the so-called Avengers Alliance, bringing Zhu Hong and Qin Lang Xiazhi, but not Liu Zhi.

Zhang Xiaobai thought about it afterwards and probably didn't go.

Liu Zhi nodded and said: "He did look for me. To be honest, I really wanted to go with him, but then I thought it was likely to fail, so I gave up. I was beaten for this."

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Should I say thank you?"

Then the two of them smiled at each other, as if they were about to forget their grudges with a smile.

Putting away his smile, Liu Zhi said, "I passed by the door and it sounded very lively. I guessed that you were here, so I came to see you. I really didn't mean anything else."

Zhang Xiaobai hummed and said, "Let's let the past go. The little grudges between you are nothing. Just treat it as a child's trick. Now you are all grown up, so live your life well."

Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, this trip was not in vain. I feel the most comfortable when I hear this, even more comfortable than the New Year!"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "You are complaining that I didn't wish you a happy new year!"

Liu Zhi waved his hand and smiled and said, "Don't embarrass me. I dare not. To be honest, I am afraid every time I see you."

Zhang Xiaobai said seriously, "It's all in the past!"

Liu Zhi said, "Promise! I wish you good luck!"

After that, he turned and left.

When he walked out, Liu Zhi felt that his steps were much lighter. The stone that had been pressing on his heart for so many years finally fell.

……

……

In the evening, Zhang Xiaobai's family did not return to Tangcheng. The two grown men cooked the meal. Zhang Xiaobai was the main force, and Shi Lei helped.

The two brothers had two small drinks, which was just right.

After dinner and chatting, Zhang Xiaobai went upstairs to sleep. Shi Lei reserved a bedroom for Zhang Xiaobai, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

Lying on the bed, coaxing her son to sleep, Su Tong said: "Xiaobai, do you know what I admire most about you?"

Zhang Xiaobai rested his arms on the ceiling and smiled: "Do you admire my talent, appearance or character the most?"

Su Tong pouted and said: "What I admire most about you is that you have a group of good brothers who are closer than your own brothers!"

Su Tong, who came from a big family, had no good impression of the relationship between relatives and friends since he was a child, so he was most moved by the friendship between Zhang Xiaobai and his friends.

As the old saying goes, you will stick your back to your brother.

Su Tong was more confident. Zhang Xiaobai and these friends, not all of them, but most of them can do it.

In this era, how precious is this kind of friendship?

Zhang Xiaobai said softly: "Wife, to be honest, I feel very lucky. I have such a good wife and children, and such good friends. What else can a husband ask for?"

Su Tong said: "It is your luck, and it is also our luck. Because you did it, we exist."

Zhang Xiaobai raised his thumb. He always felt that this sentence was very insightful.

To make friends, you must first regard that person as a friend, so that you can exchange friendship.

Su Tong asked with a smile: "In your heart, do you have a distinction between close and distant friends?"

Zhang Xiaobai thought about it and smiled: "It's a lie to say that there is no. After all, the stages and time of getting along together are different, and the things experienced together are also different. Although I don't agree that friendship must be tested, friendship that has been tested is more precious!"

Su Tong was silent for a moment and said: "Your current career is basically based on friendship. There are advantages and disadvantages. Let's see how it will develop in the future."

The two had talked about this before, and Zhang Xiaobai had already considered it. There are pros and cons, and there is no way for the time being.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. Whatever you encounter, you can solve it. My view is that you can suffer losses in career and money, but I don't want to affect the friendship between brothers!"

Now there is a saying that those who do great things should not recognize relatives and cut off ties, and will not be bound by the cage of emotions. For Zhang Xiaobai, the premise of doing great things is to maintain the friendship between good friends.

……

……

The next day, Xiuxiu made breakfast for everyone, and the two families went to the graves after eating.

It's the New Year, see the relatives.

In front of the three graves, everyone knelt, even the children were no exception, and they were all well-behaved and not naughty.

Lighting a cigarette in front of a grave, Zhang Xiaobai said softly: "Grandma, our family has been doing well in the past year. Our business has grown bigger and bigger, and we have made more and more money, more than you can imagine!"

"Grandma, if it were now, you would definitely cure your illness, but unfortunately there is no if in life. I wish you could live to see our family now!"

Zhang Xiaobai's eyes were red, and he took a deep breath, "Grandma! I miss you..."

Then he sprinkled a bottle of wine in front of another grave, and Zhang Xiaobai said: "Grandpa, it's the New Year, I brought my wife and children to see you, and try Maotai liquor, which was not available at that time..."

Muttering a few words, Zhang Xiaobai knelt in front of the last grave, opened his lips and called mom.

"Mom! I fought several battles with the Yuan family last year, and I haven't suffered a big loss so far. Don't worry about me, I won't lose this battle!"

"It's been so long, but I still haven't found out what happened to my dad. Perhaps only by completely defeating the Yuan family can we know the truth. If it's true as I guessed before, my dad has done you no wrong. No matter what, I will bury his ashes next to you!"

Zhang Xiaobai suddenly smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that. Your grandson will call for help."

Su Tong whispered in little Su Xin's ear, and little Su Xin called her grandma obediently.

Zhang Xiaobai kowtowed to the three graves three times, and the adults and children behind him followed.

After visiting the graves, everyone returned to Shi Lei's house.

In the yard, the children continued to play, and the adults talked.

Su Tong said, "Xiaobai, do you think Yuan Yang knows the truth?"

Zhang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess he knows something, but it's not necessarily the truth."

Su Tong nodded gently, thinking of a common idea, "I still think our guess is very close to the truth."

At that time, Su Tong went to the Yuan family to investigate the situation, and Bai Lu went to Yuanlai Mall to investigate. The information of the two people combined to form a speculation.

Zhang Xiaobai's father is Zhang Rui, who is a half-brother of Yuan Ennai and a business genius. He committed suicide in the end.

But this is just speculation after all, and the truth is unknown.

Zhang Xiaobai thought about it and said, "Yuan Ennai once told me that this is not the case. I don't know if it's a trick he used or what."

Su Tong sighed and said, "It's a pity that Yuan Ennai hasn't woken up yet. Even if we defeat the Yuan family, we may not get the truth!"

So far, he seems to be the only one who knows the truth.
