Chapter 116 Forgive You
Zhang Chi could no longer remember when was the last time he saw Wu Keli.
It seemed like it was a class reunion seven or eight years ago, or maybe it was the time when Wu Keli came to visit me when I went home during my sophomore year?
Zhang Chi's feelings towards this woman are actually somewhat complicated.
After his grandparents passed away, he was able to learn to be bad so quickly, and Wu Keli also contributed to this.
I would take him to skip classes every day to play games in the Internet cafe, or to the billiard hall to play billiards.
Wu Keli had poor academic performance, but because she had a celebrity-like face, she had many suitors when she was studying at the No. 1 Middle School in the county.
Zhang Chi gave up on himself during that period and even helped Wu Keli fight with many of her suitors.
Of course, his relationship with Long Xiaoyun was somewhat distant during that period, and many people said that Wu Keli was dating him.
Zhang Chi neither refuted nor admitted it, in short, he just kept on talking nonsense.
It was not until Lao Zhao caught him and put him under strict supervision, appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, and also found Zhang Jianguo and Fu Li who were working in other places, that Zhang Chi finally calmed down, picked up his textbook and walked into the classroom again.
It was also from that time that Zhang Chi and Wu Keli gradually drifted apart, and he reconciled with Long Xiaoyun.
Until the winter break of my sophomore year.
Wu Keli suddenly came to his door and talked to him for a long time.
Zhang Chi still remembers that Wu Keli was not in a very good mental state at that time and said that her family asked her to go on a blind date.
That would make her 20 years old and marryable.
Zhang Chi thought she was joking and didn't take it too seriously.
Later I heard that she really got married, to a rich second-generation man from a well-off family.
It was only last week that Zhang Chi found out that the rich second-generation man was Chen Jingyu, who had once pursued Wu Keli and had been beaten up by him several times.
When I see Wu Keli now, I feel that her appearance has not changed significantly.
Maybe it’s because she takes good care of herself, she looks only about 24 or 25 years old, and her dressing style is very cute.
As for that celebrity face, it really looks more and more like him.
They both have a cute style and ageless baby faces, the only difference is that Wu Keli has a nice bust, while the other female star is famous for her flat chest.
at this time.
A big bald head appeared behind Wu Keli.
Zhang Chi's expression moved.
Chen Bin was also stunned when he saw Zhang Chi, then frowned and asked: "Do you know each other?"
Wu Keli walked into the box with a smile, and sat down next to Zhang Chi without any hesitation, saying, "Chizi is my best friend. He was the one who took care of me when you were in there."
Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he was operating the sewing machine in prison, Wu Keli seemed to have mentioned a boy every time she visited him in prison.
I never thought that this person was actually the fat man’s friend.
"I remember your name is Zhang Chi. Thank you for taking care of my Lily."
Chen Bin loves Wu Keli very much. Zhang Chi took care of Wu Keli when he was away, so it is only right for him as a brother to thank him.
Zhang Chi was also a little confused at this time.
I didn’t expect that Chen Bin and Wu Keli are relatives.
And judging from Chen Bin's attitude towards Wu Keli, he seems to be very doting and loving towards this younger sister.
"Well, it's nothing. It's been so many years."
"How can it not be a big deal? I still remember everything you did and said."
Wu Keli crossed her arms unhappily, with resentment in her eyes.
Chen Bin raised his eyebrows, always feeling that there was something wrong with his cousin's attitude towards Zhang Chi.
At this time, Ye Hongguang suddenly asked: "Are you Binzi?"
When Chen Bin heard someone calling his nickname, he turned his head in confusion.
When he saw Ye Hongguang's face, his rebellious expression instantly subsided, and he bowed stiffly and said, "Hello, Mr. Ye. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in the box. I, I..."
Ye Hongguang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Since we know each other, let's go together. I thought this girl looked a little familiar. Now I remember, she is Old Wu's daughter Xiaoli, right?"
Wu Keli looked at Ye Hongguang in surprise. She didn't know this person, but he seemed to know her father.
Chen Bin nodded respectfully and said, "Mr. Ye has a good memory. My uncle has mentioned Lily several times. I didn't expect you to still remember it."
"Haha, Old Wu mentioned it a lot. He almost introduced it to that kid Guo Haiyang."
Zhang Chi turned around and looked at Ye Hongguang in surprise.
He still remembered Guo Haiyang, the rich second-generation. The Ares GTR that he used in the previous competition with the Japanese belonged to Guo Haiyang.
At that time, in order to reduce wind resistance, Zhang Chi even removed the carbon fiber rear wing that he had spent a lot of money to modify.
At this time.
Ye Hongguang looked at Zhang Chi with a mischievous look on his face and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the introduction was not successful, otherwise the Dragon King Temple would have been washed away by the flood!"
There was some gossip in Ye Hongguang's words.
Zhang Chi looked at him speechlessly, then picked up a glass of lemonade and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.
On the other hand, Wu Keli on the side chuckled and said, "I just don't like that little fat guy."
Seeing her cheerful personality, Ye Hongguang laughed and said, "That's right, Haiyang is indeed not as handsome as Chizi."
Wu Keli smiled even more brightly when she heard that.
Zhang Chi looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Daguang suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Brother, you can't let my sister down!"
Zhang Chi: “…”
Ye Hongguang: “…”
Wu Keli raised her eyebrows and asked directly, "What are you talking about, silly guy? Who is your sister?"
Daguang responded straightforwardly: "My sister's name is Long Xiaoyun, she's much prettier than you."
Seeing Daguang's arrogant expression as if he was fighting with a child, Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, but he did not deny his meaning.
Now everyone came to their senses.
The emotional relaxation means that the girl has a boyfriend.
Chen Bin frowned, and his kindness just now disappeared in an instant.
Ye Hongguang also raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Sorry, little brother, if I said something wrong, I will drink to apologize to you later."
"No, no, Mr. Ye, you were just joking. This kid is a little naive and didn't understand. Please don't mind it."
Long Jinggang knew that no one present was someone he could afford to offend, so he hurried to smooth things over.
Daguang looked at Long Jinggang angrily and emphasized: "I'm not stupid, my brother just likes my sister."
Seeing this, everyone nodded angrily.
Putting aside other things, they have figured out that Daguang is an honest man with no big ideas. This kind of person is stubborn.
Ye Hongguang actually admires such people. Such people are most suitable to be subordinates because they will never betray you.
"Hahaha, little brother, your name is Daguang, right? Come on, let's go first."
Seeing this, Daguang picked up a bottle of Corona and clinked glasses with Ye Hongguang, saying with a smile, "You are my brother's friend. If you drink this bottle of wine, I will forgive you."
“Great light…”
Gangzi was startled.
Ye Hongguang laughed and said, "Okay, thank you for your forgiveness. Come on, let's do it!"
"Done!"
Daguang said as he performed a little talent of emptying a bottle in one second. Long Jinggang looked at Zhang Chi with a worried look on his face.
Although Zhang Chi had little contact with Ye Hongguang, he could feel that Ye Hongguang had a high degree of liking for Daguang.
So he gave Long Jinggang a reassuring look.
This scene gave Chen Bin a headache.
He might be the one among the people present who knows best what kind of person Ye Hongguang is, except for Ye Hongguang's assistant.
You know, their Haisha City was very chaotic before.
At that time, not to mention the rampant gray industries, there were also dozens of bosses who monopolized various industries.
Ye Hongguang fought his way out of that fiercely competitive environment, and in just a few years, he turned his fortune from black to white, and was even named one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs.
Many people say that Ye Hongguang’s success is inseparable from the help of his father-in-law in the province.
But only the people around Ye Hongguang and his younger brothers knew about it.
Not only did Ye Hongguang not receive any help from there, he also helped the old man get a lot of positive results. Even his two brothers-in-law were promoted thanks to him, and they all respectfully called him brother-in-law when they saw him.
At that time, Wu Keli's father, Chen Bin's uncle, was also a big shot in the underworld.
The person Chen Bin respects most in his life is his uncle. He has always taken him as a role model and imitated his style of doing things.
But even such an awesome uncle was scolded by Ye Hongguang like his grandson at a party.
At that time, Chen Bin felt that all his three views had been overturned.
Later, I asked my uncle and found out that Ye Hongguang helped him a lot in getting out so quickly.
Moreover, my uncle contracted many projects, all of which were profits leaked by Ye Hongguang.
It can be said that Chen Bin’s current career and achievements are inseparable from Ye Hongguang’s support for his uncle.
"By the way, Binzi, I heard that Lao Wu behaved well in prison and his sentence was reduced, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bin nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, Mr. Ye. I just went to visit him in prison last week, and my uncle said he would be released in March next year."
When Wu Keli heard them talking about her irresponsible father, her brows furrowed slightly.
Zhang Chi saw this and frowned, "What happened to your dad?"
Wu Keli glanced at Zhang Chi, rummaging through a pack of tissues on the table with a somewhat unhappy look on her face, and replied, "He was arrested during the crackdown a few years ago and was sentenced to more than ten years in prison."
"Why?"
“Violent demolition.”
Zhang Chi: “…”
·
The entrance of Duntou Village.
Several official vehicles were parked under the big tree.
The scorching sun made the ground scorching hot, but a group of elementary school students, sweating profusely, lined up to greet him.
Among them are the two little guys, Long Ji and Long Zhang.
"Longji, I saw Brother Chizi's car."
Long Ji waved the plastic flower in his hand and asked curiously, "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
Long Zhang nodded towards a row of seafood stalls not far away.
Long Ji looked back, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "It's Brother Chizi's car. We'll go find him later and ask him to buy us some happy water. I'm dying of heat."
"Longji, don't talk."
Long Ji looked at the teacher behind him who had a professional smile on his face and said "Oh" obediently.
At this time, one of the people who were welcoming them came over and frowned, saying, "Who told you to arrange for the children to come and greet us? What were you thinking on such a hot day? Mayor Li was very angry and quickly asked the children to disperse."
The teacher in charge's face changed, and he quickly explained: "We made this arrangement because we received a call from the town."
The man's brows tightened when he heard that. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and glanced around.
When she saw many internet celebrities taking photos and videos with their mobile phones and cameras, her face suddenly changed.
"Oh no!"
As she said this, she turned around and was about to leave. Halfway through her walk, she turned back and said, "Hurry up and let the children go. No, go to that convenience store and buy some water for the children. I'll go over to pay the bill later."
The teacher asked in confusion: "What's going on? Isn't this torture?"
Another teacher came over, smiled bitterly, and whispered in my ear, "Okay, we can't afford to offend either side, let's disperse the children."
at the same time.
Li Muqing's assistant secretary ran back in a hurry.
Facing Li Muqing's cold eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Sister, we have been tricked."
Li Muqing looked up at the people taking photos and videos, frowned slightly and said, "I knew it when I got off the car. This Chen guy is really disgusting people everywhere. He can even use such despicable and vulgar means."
The assistant secretary briefly told Li Muqing about his arrangements.
Hearing this, Li Muqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and stood up decisively and said, "This is not enough. Let's go buy some water for the children."
It's just like destroying my image in the eyes of the public.
Li Muqing didn't take the minor public relations crisis seriously at all.
At this time, she calmly took off her glasses, revealing her bare face, and even a pimple on her forehead.
Upon seeing this, the assistant secretary also hurriedly took off her watch and other decorations.
The two men walked up to a group of primary school students, one in front and one behind, and under the stunned gaze of the two teachers, they half-knelt on the ground to wipe the sweat off the children, while asking about the children's learning progress.
"what happened?"
"I, I don't know either."
Both teachers looked confused. They didn't understand all these intricacies, but they just felt that the new beautiful mayor really cared about the children.
On the other side, several people who got off the Jinbei car frowned, their eyes were on Li Muching who was "putting on a show".
"Haha, Lao Chen, I'm telling you, don't do these unnecessary things. Look at them, they can easily resolve the problem for you."
The man named Lao Chen had a similar facial shape to Chen Bin, but his eyes were more sinister.
Hearing the teasing from the people behind him, he smiled instead of getting angry and said, "How wonderful! The new Mayor Li cares about the children. Shouldn't we show some appreciation?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Obviously some retreat.
So many children have all kinds of sweaty odors on their bodies, not to mention that some children have mud in their fingernails, which is disgusting to look at.
"Old Chen, that's enough. We don't need this little bit of reputation."
These people are all locals, and they have reached the position they are in today, which is the limit of their career, unlike Lao Chen who wants to go further.
They don't want to act in the scorching sun.
Old Chen looked at them with a half-smile until they were all sweating profusely.
"Ahem, well, if that's the case, then let's go together. With so many children, let's help Mayor Li share the burden."
Several people looked at each other, and finally someone gave in.
Old Chen sneered and walked towards Li Muqing and the others, looking around as he walked.
When he saw a Maybach parked under a big tree, his brows couldn't help but frown.
"Why is Ye Hongguang here?"
