Chapter 372 On the way to the grave
The sky was gloomy and in the quiet hotel room, Liang Xin hugged Jiang Lingling's warm, soft and smooth body and fell into a deep sleep.The last battle last night allowed him to completely release the pressure that had accumulated in his heart these days.
From Liang Xin's perspective, many unresolved issues no longer need to be overly worried.Now, he has got the key to solving the problem, and he also holds a heavy enough bargaining chip in his hand.
As long as the person who can help him solve the problem is not too greedy, Liang Xin will be confident enough to draw the other party onto his powerful capital battleship just like he did with Yang Jixin before.And if the other party sits down and raises the price, that doesn't matter.
There are more than one or two strong people in this world. If this doesn't work, just replace it with the next one.
Three times or two times, we can always find a strong supporter who can look at each other.Just like when he met Guo Si in his previous life, Liang Xin knew very well that most of the successors who really controlled the resources were people with clear minds.Even if they are not extremely smart, at least in the art of interest exchange, the vast majority of them are definitely much more sober than ordinary people.
"Hmm~~" There was a confused moan in his arms.
Jiang Lingling's hot body arched against Liang Xin's body.
Liang Xin, who was sleeping, also let go of the baby in his hand. When he opened his eyes, he heard the phone ringing in his ear.He woke up with a start, quickly took his cell phone, saw that it was Liang Buxun's number, and quickly picked it up, "Yeah, um, okay, come out right away."
After saying a few words, Liang Xin hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was only 5:08 in the morning.
He was terribly sleepy, but today's matters were too important to allow him to procrastinate.
"Lingling, get up." Liang Xin gently patted Jiang Lingling's face.
"Hmm~~" Jiang Lingling opened her eyes with difficulty, hugged Liang Xin again, and murmured softly, "I'm so sleepy..."
"Good boy, let's go to the grave." Liang Xin hugged her and whispered softly.
Jiang Lingling looked very troubled and said, "I don't want to go. Is it okay if I don't go..."
"No." Liang Xin said, "Not today, but you can do whatever you want in the future."
He hugged Jiang Lingling and pulled her out of the warm quilt.
Although there is heating in the room, the heating is not strong.
Jiang Lingling was froze by the winter cold, and she suddenly woke up a little. With a little energy to wake up, she leaned into Liang Xin's arms and muttered: "I'm so tired, you made me so late last night, and you didn't let me sleep... Okay Disgusting."
"Okay." Liang Xin gently touched her head, smiled and lifted the quilt, no longer coaxing her, "Don't wait any longer. If you don't come with me today, you might not have a chance in the future. That grandfather of mine, But you can’t tolerate sand in your eyes.”
"Grandpa?" Jiang Lingling was surprised.
Liang Xin had already gotten out of bed and walked towards the bathroom naked.
Jiang Lingling looked at the lights in the distance, sat on the bed and rubbed her face, then looked at the bridesmaid dress thrown on the ground, sighed and muttered: "It's really difficult to be the daughter-in-law of a rich family..."
Half an hour later, Liang Xin and Jiang Lingling finished washing and tidying up and went downstairs hand in hand.
I packed some breakfast in the cafeteria, which was not allowed in principle, and after a while, I got into the company's car.Today is a grave visit, and the red BMW looks too blinking. Liang Xin specially told Gu Qiang to drive it at the company.
Gu Qiang took the breakfast handed to him by Liang Xin and stuffed it into his mouth in a few mouthfuls. Before he could swallow it completely, he hurriedly started the car and drove towards the Xincheng community.
Jiang Lingling didn't have a good appetite, so she reluctantly ate a steamed bun, then leaned into Liang Xin's arms again, closed her eyes and fell asleep.Last night, she was tortured so much by Liang Xin. He did it four times. She felt really good, but she was also very physically exhausted.But she can't blame her for being greedy. Speaking of which, although she and Liang Xin have been together for three months, for nearly half of the time, Liang Xin was either on a business trip or on the way.The two of them don't spend much time together.
Especially in the past month or so, Jiang Lingling felt like she was turning into a piece of stone every day.
If Liang Xin hadn't built a bunch of billboards for her in school, she might have worried whether Liang Xin had "maliciously abandoned" her - the doggy man often didn't even call her for three to five days, and she couldn't help it. Not in a hurry.So once she got an opportunity like last night, she really cherished time as much as she cherished her life, and the friction with Liang Xin was so fierce that it would create sparks.
Liang Xin lowered his head and looked at Jiang Lingling's appearance, feeling slightly distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
On an occasion like today, it is necessary for Jiang Lingling to show her face.
Jiang Lingling may not understand the meaning now, but she will definitely understand his good intentions in the future.
Liang Xin turned his head and kissed her gently on the head, then turned his head and looked out of the car.
On the early morning of New Year's Day, there was almost no one on the road. The sky was overcast. It was about half an hour before full dawn. The street lights on both sides of the road were also on, making it look particularly lonely.
Alto flew all the way and soon drove into the sparsely populated east of the city.
Just after six o'clock, Liang Xin rushed to the gate of Xincheng Community.
Outside the community, seven or eight cars were already parked.
On the dim roadside, there were a few people standing here and there, holding bread and milk in their hands, eating a simple breakfast.
When this group of people saw an old Alto approaching, they couldn't help but look curious.
Liang Xin pulled Jiang Lingling and walked out of the car. He looked around and didn't find Liang Buxun. He took out his cell phone and called him, "Uncle Buxun, I'm here."
"Okay, got it, we're coming down too."
Liang Xin hummed and put the phone back in his pocket.
Next to an equally low-key Honda car in front, the owner walked straight up and asked Liang Xin with a smile: "My child, whose family do you belong to?"
Liang Xin pointed to the community and said, "Liang Siyun."
"Just kidding?"
The other party was stunned and looked at Liang Xin with doubtful eyes, "When did my third uncle's family have a child like you?"
"Yesterday," Liang Xin said, "Today I come to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan."
The person who asked the question was quiet for a few seconds and then made the original sound, "Oh..."
This kind of thing happens occasionally every few years.
The ancestral hall in Liangjiashan actually happened in the last 20 years or so.
Basically, after Liang Siyun became successful, the Liang Family Mountain line attracted several promising descendants who worked in various places in the city, reuniting the family that had originally declined and became loose.
And it's not just Liangjiashan who does this. There are about 20 or [-] households in W City, all of which have done similar things in the past [-] years.These families and families are connected with each other, gradually forming a larger and more complex social interest relationship.Today, this force has a decisive influence on all aspects of the city.
Zhou Xian and others, as well as Lan Qiuyan and his family, are part of this complex system.
However, compared to the city's population of 900 million, the proportion of these people is still very small.People from ordinary families have no access to this system.Even if you know that there is such a thing, you may not understand how powerful this thing is - to put it simply, this system is actually a new order that is replaced when an old order is broken. .This order is formed based on the most primitive state of local power.
Its actual degree of control over the local area is, to put it bluntly, even stronger than that of the imperial court.
Those government offices with signs are just shells.
And what is contained inside the shell is these people and the lining that these people represent.
It's just that such an area cannot be completely occupied by a single "family member". From time to time, each household needs to absorb outsiders like Liang Xin or Chen Guangjian to supplement and extend its own strength.
——It seems very feudal, but this is the operating law of human society.
When the original order is disrupted, people are always more naturally inclined to look back for something older to replace it, because that means that the social organization is more efficient and stable.Especially when an "outstanding person" appears in a group, such a social structure and model will come earlier and faster.
As for people outside this system, they either follow the general trend of the country, take the entrance examination, and then find out after entering "Why is it that Director Zhao's idiot nephew was promoted despite working so hard", or they are like Sister Ping and convert God's arms.There is also Chen Geng, who is also following the same path, stepping on the boundaries of the law to embrace people who, like him, have lost respect for explicit rules.
Such things are the complexity of society.On the surface and secretly, two lines always coexist in parallel.Even people like Liang Siyun cannot escape this invisible prison.
And Liang Xin spent a lifetime to get a glimpse of the path to integrate into it.
Then he took the initiative to send it to his door, threw himself into the trap, and was happy to accept it.
"Business person?" The person who asked Liang Xin looked at his young appearance under the street lamp and asked seriously and uncertainly.
Liang Xin replied calmly: "Yes, you have a website, have you ever heard of the Student Network?"
When the other party heard this, his mouth suddenly opened slightly, and he asked in a shocked voice: "Classmate Network? Where are you..."
"Chairman."
Liang Xin smiled and introduced Jiang Lingling to him, "Here, this is my fiancée, the brand image spokesperson of our website."
When the other party took a closer look, he realized that it was really the pretty girl on the billboard, and he immediately started making fun of her.
Amidst a burst of exclamations, after a while, when Liang Buxun accompanied the old man and the old lady down, and gave everyone a brief introduction, the group of people who came to worship their ancestors today all knew that Liang Siyun had an amazing child in his family. .Liang Xin also recognized two aunts by the way, Liang Siyun's eldest daughter and youngest daughter, as well as his eldest and younger cousins.
It was just in the dark, and they had already entered the car without even seeing anyone clearly.
"Lingling is here too." Liang Buxun saw Jiang Lingling and showed a kind smile.
Jiang Lingling was finally not stupid and shouted sweetly: "Hello, uncle."
"Yeah." Liang Buxun nodded.
Liang Siyun also took a deep look at Liang Xin and Jiang Lingling, nodded slightly, and expressed appreciation in his eyes.Being able to accompany Liang Xin here so early in the morning, Liang Siyun had a good first impression of Jiang Lingling, and he also understood in his heart that this girl should be very valued by Liang Xin.
——This also seems to be nonsense.
The billboards all over the streets in the capital and City S are not for nothing.
If Liang Xin didn't take it seriously, how could it be possible for Jiang Lingling to have such a big opportunity to show her face.Jiang Lingling may not even know it herself, but with her current popularity, she can be qualified to play the third or fourth female lead in a medium-sized production crew.
"Let's go." After a brief greeting with a large group of people at the gate of the community, Liang Xin led Jiang Lingling back to the car.
Gu Qiang started the car and slowly followed the car in front.
Liangjiashan is about 40 kilometers away from the city, and the highway will not be completed until seven or eight years.
It will take about two hours to get there now.
After sitting back in the car, Liang Xin and Jiang Lingling murmured a few words in a low voice and explained perfunctorily what "recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan" meant, and then they slowly fell asleep again.Jiang Lingling lay down on her side with her head resting on Liang Xin's legs.Liang Xin held her back and murmured in his heart that he should try to avoid getting up early like this in the future. It's so anti-human.
I left my name this year and will go there every few years from now on.
Even though he was his own grandfather, Liang Xin never visited the grave a few times in his previous life...
Liang Xin thought silently, his mind gradually becoming blurry.
Two hours later, at early eight o'clock, when the car drove to the foot of Liangjia Mountain, he was woken up by Gu Qiang, "Boss, we're here."
"Huh?" Liang Xin opened his eyes drowsily.
Turning around and looking outside the car, it was already bright outside and the sun was shining.
Liang Xin hurriedly called out to the sleeping Jiang Lingling. Jiang Lingling woke up in confusion, walked out of the car, and stretched for a long time.
At the front of the convoy, at some point, another seven or eight cars merged in halfway.
Everyone got out of the car, making a roaring noise.
There are others further ahead, and it seems that there are a few others that have arrived earlier.
There was a huge crowd, it looked like there were about 300 people.
"What the hell is a big family..." Liang Xin shook his head.
They visit the grave at their own home, and usually twenty people can't even come together.
"Axin, come here!" Liang Buxun shouted to Liang Xin from the front like a dog.
Liang Xin hurriedly walked over with Jiang Lingling and recognized everyone again.
This group of people knew that Liang Xin was the boss of the classmates network, and seeing Jiang Lingling as a "star", they were naturally very enthusiastic. Liang Xin could only cheer up immediately and treat them with all kinds of courtesy.
After waiting at the same spot for about half an hour, it was almost nine o'clock when Liang Xin and Jiang Lingling took the breakfast prepared here and started their mountain climbing trip.Mixed in a crowd of strangers, Jiang Lingling was obviously a little uncomfortable, but fortunately she had the aura of a star, and all she received was goodwill. She felt uncomfortable, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.
On the way to the mountain, Liang Xin gradually became familiar with Liang Siyun's two daughters and his daughters' daughters.
Liang Siyun's eldest daughter is called Liang Wenshu, who is a little older than Liang by two years. She will retire in about ten years. Her husband Zhou Zhenyang is not simple. He seems to be a small leader of an important department in the city. His only daughter Zhou Ruoqing is a newcomer at W Technical College. Rookie counselor.
The youngest daughter's name is Liang Wenjing, who is a few years younger than Sister Ping. She is just in her early 40s, but she is already the vice president of a hospital in the city. Her husband Zhao Zongming is the secretary-general of the city's calligraphy and painting association. Liang Xin knows this well. There are not many, but they know that although these "associations" are out-and-out private organizations, the position of secretary-general is generally held by serious civil servants, which is equivalent to a formal official position arranged in the organization. The level of official representatives and managers is unknown, but there must be a lot of money.
There is also Liang Wenjing’s daughter Zhao Xiaowan, who is a junior this year and is studying at W University with little promise...
For such families, if a child fails to pass the 211 exam, he or she is basically a failure in school.
But even so, with the Liang family's arrangement within W City, Zhao Waner's life will definitely not be much different in the future.As long as you study hard and graduate from college and get a proper career, it won't be too difficult.
"This family background, tsk tsk tsk..." Walking halfway up the mountain and stopping for a break, Gu Qiang took advantage of the absence of anyone and sighed with Liang Xin.
Liang Xin smiled faintly, wondering where he was now?
This is only what can be seen on the surface. There are a lot of invisible people behind the energy of Liang Jiashan. Liang Siyun wants to use connections, which is just to consume past favors.
How many people has he promoted during his many years in office?
How many people have you helped?
There are also people extending from the Liang family’s in-laws...
This large network, if put together to see the whole picture, is the complete strength of the Liang family.
That's why idiots think that when Liang Siyun retires, he will really be gone.
——To take a step back, even if the cup of tea on the table has gone cold, there is still a fire burning on the stove!
And he, Liang Xin, and Liang Siyun's descendants, students, and juniors are all the fuel that continues to heat this fire.
Everyone burns himself so that this pot of boiling water never cools down.
Until one day, another Liang Siyun appears among them, and that cup of tea will be warmed up again sooner or later.
This is the so-called clan heritage!
It is the power intertwined by several generations and dozens of relationships!
"Any big family is built up little by little." Liang Xin shook his head, took back the huge treasure, drained the water, and continued walking up the mountain.
During the second half of the mountain road, Jiang Lingling became more lively and chatted with Zhou Ruoqing and Zhao Wanting in a lively manner.Talking about some "Mr. Liang's two hours" boudoir secrets, he screamed in shame and excitement. When it was revealed that Liang Xin's real estate worth more than [-] million in the capital was revealed, many people were extremely surprised and confused. Envy eyes.
Then soon, everyone knew that Liang Xin was actually a shareholder of Dongfeng Real Estate.
"This is amazing. I heard that Dongfeng Real Estate collected [-] billion?"
"The project being carried out in the capital is still an Olympic project!"
"...I got a big piece of land in City S!"
There was a large group of people, all of whom loved reading local dailies, and could all talk about the trends of Dongfeng Investment.
Liang Xin was also surrounded by Zhao Zongming and Zhou Zhenyang asking about real estate. It was obvious that these people were throwing money into it.Liang Xin has long wanted to spread gossip and poke the housing price bubble in W City to satisfy his desire to buy a house at a low price - yes, that's right, the reason why he killed real estate speculators in the city is to make his own home Spend millions less!He is so inferior to a beast!
"House prices are hard to say. Dongfeng Investment seems to have escaped this time..."
Liang Xin was pressing against Zhou Zhenyang and Zhao Zongming.
The two people's faces became uglier as they listened. Zhao Zongming asked Liang Xin: "Is it really possible to fall that hard?"
"Prediction..." Liang Xin smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as there are still people willing to take over, housing prices will not collapse. If no one takes over, then... our geographical location and location conditions will definitely not be able to support the current prices. of.
City W is a third-tier city, and its housing prices are higher than those in the capital and City S. Why?Yes or no?Teng Zengsui also saw this situation clearly, so he hurriedly ran away.But don’t go around talking about it right now. Dongfeng Investment still has some properties that it hasn’t had time to sell yet. Now it’s only half of them that have escaped, and the other half has not escaped..."
Zhou Zhenyang and Zhao Zongming looked at each other, their eyes filled with unconcealable panic.
