Male supporting character in a book: Aren’t we brothers?

The next day is Monday.

When Jiang Qian'an got up, his father, mother and elder brother had all gone to work.

He could only water the flowers and mow the grass in the garden with his grandmother, and then play a few games of chess with his grandfather. He spent a few days leisurely like this.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that whenever his family had dinner together, Jiang's father and mother would occasionally look at him with complicated eyes, which made Jiang Qian'an wonder if they had seen through his change of heart.

this day.

The morning in Beijing in July is sunny and bright

In the dim and cramped rental house, a man was slumped on an old sofa. The coffee table was piled with wine bottles and miscellaneous items, and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

The man's hair had probably not been trimmed for a long time and had grown quite long. Moreover, his chin was covered with stubble, making him look old and haggard. His originally bright eyes were now staring blankly at the ceiling, and no one knew how long he had maintained this posture.

Suddenly, an abrupt ringtone broke the silence in the room. The man slowly reacted, his fingers slowly moved, and his eyes slowly focused. Unfortunately, before he could move, the ringing of the phone stopped.

Not hearing the sound continue, he stopped moving again and maintained the posture until the ringtone rang again. Then he slowly moved and groped for the phone.

"Hey......"

----

In a private room of a coffee shop, a man who looked to be about 27 or 28 was nervously grabbing his trousers and looking at the door of the room with an anxious look on his face.

Soon, the door of the box was pushed open.

A tall young man in a dark green shirt walked in. His hair was loose, he had a handsome face, a slender figure, and no expression on his face, giving people a cold and noble feeling.

He sat directly across from the man and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Qi An."

The man opposite him obviously hadn't expected such a young man to come in. He stammered, "Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Yang."

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Zhang. We're just having a simple chat. Come, have some coffee first."

Jiang Qian'an didn't show any expression, but just guided Zhang Yang in a calm tone to relax slowly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang picked up the coffee and took a big gulp. Only when the bitter taste of American coffee spread in his mouth did he slowly calm down.

"Why did you come to me and ask me to help you? You should know what my reputation is now."

"Of course I know your situation. I know you were slandered at Dingxin. I admire your abilities and understand your current situation. You must be in dire need of money for your father's surgery. I can help you."

Jiang Qian'an went straight to the point.

Zhang Yang couldn't sit still when he heard this. How did this person know everything? He had only found out three days ago that his father had uremia and needed a kidney transplant.

He suddenly grabbed his thighs and forced himself to calm down: "...What do you want me to do? As long as it's not illegal, I..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Qianan interrupted him: "I think you misunderstood. I just want to start a company and I'm in need of a partner. It just so happens that I really like your abilities and I can help you."

........

long time.

When Zhang Yang came out of the coffee shop, the dazzling sun in the daytime had turned into the lights in the city. He didn't know how he got back to his rental house. The only thing in his mind was what the young man said to him.

"I can help you."

"I know you're a very talented person. Dingxin believed your colleague's crude slander. Losing you is their loss."

"Do you want to smack them in the face?"

"As a sign of my sincerity as a partner, I will help your father through this difficult time first."

"If you've thought it through, you can call that number today. I look forward to working with you."

.........

Jiang Qian'an didn't talk much with Zhang Yang. He left at six o'clock, leaving the rest of the time for him to think about it.

Zhang Yang is a cannon fodder with a miserable fate in the novel. He was originally a senior manager of an investment bank, but because of his good vision and outstanding performance, he was envied by a colleague who framed him for leaking client information, which led to his dismissal. Moreover, the industry did not dare to employ him because of his "criminal record".

If that were all, with his vision and ability he wouldn't have ended up like this.

But not long after he lost his job, he received a call from his hometown telling him that his father, who had raised him as a single parent, had been suffering from uremia for a long time. He had been afraid that his father would be a burden and had never told him. Now the disease had become quite serious, and a neighbor who was close to his father could no longer bear it and called to tell him secretly.

So he went back to his hometown for a match, but the result was not suitable. He did not dare to tell his father about his situation. He left all his savings over the years to his father for treatment and returned to Beijing quietly. However, this disease requires either a kidney transplant or dialysis. His money allowed his father to hold on for a while. Yesterday, the hospital called him and said that there was a kidney source and asked him to make a decision as soon as possible, but he had no money now.

In the novel, he did not raise enough money to replace his father's kidney, but he later met a branch of the Qin family. For some unknown reason, they got to know each other, but that branch happened to work in the venture capital department of the Qin family. He had been helping that branch with advice, which made that branch appreciated by Qin Siheng. However, human hearts are always difficult to satisfy. That branch became arrogant and wanted Zhang Yang to use the Qin family to help him make illegal profits, but he refused. Later, the two quarreled and Zhang Yang was accidentally killed by that branch.

He only appears briefly in the book, but one can tell that he is capable and principled, which is why Jiang Qian'an sought him out for collaboration.

When Jiang Qian'an returned home, the whole family was there, but he felt the atmosphere was weird: "Grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, and eldest brother are all here~" Why did it feel like they were waiting for him to come back, and they were quite serious.

"Where did An An go just now?" Shen Yuan asked first. Could it be that she was going to meet a strange man?

"Ah, I just met up with Wang Ping to talk about the paintings I had previously sold to him."

Jiang Qian'an did not lie. Originally, Jiang Qian'an had an assistant when he was painting. He had been helping him with storage and sales of his paintings. He went to see the assistant today and told him that he had no plans to paint recently. He gave the assistant a bonus to let him take a break for a while.

Hearing this, Jiang's father, mother, and eldest brother all breathed a sigh of relief. The two elders felt puzzled, but did not ask aloud. They just tried to smooth things over by saying, "Are you hungry, An An? You can start eating now."

"I'm hungry. Did I keep you waiting for too long? You don't have to wait for me to eat next time."

"That won't work. Our family's meal has to be prepared neatly."

Dinner table

Father Jiang picked up a piece of pork chop and put it in Jiang Qian'an's bowl. He said casually, "An'an, you must be tired after being home for several days. Are you bored? Your Uncle Li's son is back. Do you want to make an appointment with your peers to go out and play together?"
