all the way to the stream

"You come to bake." Chen Zicheng threw aside another wave of failures of his own.

"Okay." Xiang Xi took the tool and started to operate it skillfully.

"Will you listen to my story?" Chen Zicheng lit a cigarette and asked Xiang Xi who was concentrating on the barbecue.

"Do not listen."

"Huh? Why?"

"I want to hear the little boy's story."

"Okay," Chen Zicheng said with a smile, "I'll also tell Dahai a story about a little boy, do you want to listen to it together?"

"Listen." Xiang Xi also smiled.

"Once upon a time there was a little boy," Chen Zicheng paused, "No, can he still be called a little boy after entering junior high school?"

"Yes, the little boy in my story is the same age as a junior high school student."

"Okay," Chen Zicheng looked into the distance, and recounted the story of another little boy, "The little boy was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He was born with the wind and the rain since he was a child. He should be the envy of everyone from a rich family."

"I'm not envious."

"..." Chen Zicheng rolled his eyes at Xiang Xi, "But this little boy is not happy, his father only wanted him to go into business, but this little boy didn't want to, he just wanted to pursue his own happiness."

"The troubles of the rich." Xiang Xi turned the meat over and skillfully brushed it with oil.

"But the little boy's elder brother doesn't have this trouble." Chen Zicheng blew out a layer of smoke rings, and continued, "The little boy's elder brother has his own freedom. He can do whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he likes. And this little boy Never did anything wrong, but his father treated him differently, scoffed at all his hobbies, and tried his best to destroy all the things he loved."

"Why?" Xiang Xi grabbed some cumin and sprinkled it on the meat.

"I don't know," Chen Zicheng said, "My elder brother always gets praise, but he can only get reprimanded; what my elder brother likes, his father unconditionally supports, but what he likes, his father either throws it away or destroys it."

Chen Zicheng stubbed out his cigarette in a irritated mood, "Everyone is praising the greatness of their parents, only the little boy feels that family affection is hypocritical."

"Do you want it spicy?"

"Yes," Chen Zicheng lit another cigarette, "There are too many things that the little boy can't understand, why his brother is always right and he is always wrong."

Chen Zicheng extinguished the cigarette he had just lit, and lit another one, "The little boy bought a small dog to be his companion, and it was made into a dinner party by his father that day. The next day when my brother said he wanted a dog, his father immediately Take him to buy a golden retriever; there was a girl who confessed to the little boy and her father found out, the father immediately greeted the principal, and verbally humiliated the girl in front of the whole school during the flag-raising ceremony, and finally the girl was forced to drop out of school. Since then, everyone has isolated the little boy; no matter what the little boy does, he always gets first place, but his father always just glances at him with disdain, and then tears his report card to pieces in front of his face. Father would take him to a restaurant to celebrate."

"Unbelievable." Xiang Xi pressed the meat hard on the grill, and the meat made a stinging sound.

"There are too many things, I don't even bother to talk about it," Chen Zicheng stubbed out the cigarette again, but the pack of cigarettes was gone, "Damn, do you have any cigarettes?"

"No," Xiang Xi said, "but the meat is ready, try it."

Chen Zicheng took the roasted meat from Xiangxi, "Mmm! It tastes good! It's much better than mine."

Xiang Xi laughed at Chen Zicheng, "No one can bake better than you."

"You can have a bite of my roasted meat," Chen Zicheng took another bite of the meat, "You should feel honored."

"Yes, it is an honor!"

Chen Zicheng's phone rang, interrupting their chat.

"The phone is ringing." Xiang Xi reminded.

"No answer." Chen Zicheng glanced at the caller ID and hung up the phone directly.

"Whose phone number?"

"My dad," Chen Zicheng smiled, "it's a sense of accomplishment to hang up the boss's phone."

"Childish." Xiang Xi cursed with a smile.

"It's ringing again." Xiang Xi reminded.

This time, Xiang Xi saw the caller ID - Retarded Ming.

"Hello?" Chen Zicheng answered the phone, "Wait a minute."

Chen Zicheng pressed the hands-free button.

"Hello? Brother Pao?" Guan Haoming's voice sounded, "Can you hear me? Hey, hey?"

"Speak the truth!"

"Everyone you want is tied up," Guan Haoming proudly showed off, "Is it efficient?"

"Send it to the beach." Chen Zicheng had no intention of praising Guan Haoming at all.

"Damn, it's so far away?" Guan Haoming didn't expect Chen Zicheng to run to the beach, "You pay for the postage yourself!"

"I'll pay you, send it quickly." Chen Zicheng hung up the phone speechlessly.

"Who sent it?" Xiang Xi asked.

"All those who may cause harm to Xiang Nan," Chen Zicheng thought for a while, and added, "Officially, they are called criminal suspects."

Seeing that Xiang Xi's mood fluctuated greatly, Chen Zicheng said, "I'll give you the first one, and leave the rest to me. Do you have any objection?"

"Of course," Xiang Xi took a deep breath, "Thank you so much, I don't even know how to thank you."

"It's easy, just make a show." Chen Zicheng snapped his fingers.

"What?" The topic was so jumpy that Xiang Xi was confused.

"Tomorrow's party, there are two vacancies, go up and sing a song, it doesn't matter how bad it sounds," Chen Zicheng took out his phone and typed quickly, "My phone was almost blown away by those little girls from the student union."

"No problem," Xiang Xi asked, "What's the other vacant program?"

"piano solo."

"I can help with that too."

"Oh?" Chen Zicheng glanced at Xiang Xi, "You are quite versatile."

Chen Zicheng re-edited the typed words and sent them out.

- Both shows are done, the performer is Xiang Xi, ancestors, don't bother me anymore!

After Chen Zicheng finished typing, he immediately made a call.

"Chen Shi, call the brothers to the beach, and I will send you the number later."

Chen Zicheng just hung up after saying a word, and then dialed Guan Haoming's number.

"Retarded, how many people did you bring with you?"

"Wait, I'll count."

After a while, Guan Haoming replied, "Tie five."

Chen Zicheng was too lazy to complain about why it took so long for five people to count.

"I tm..." Chen Zicheng sighed, "How many brothers did you bring with you!"

"Oh," Guan Haoming immediately reacted, "Ten, what's wrong?"

"I asked Chen Shi to bring people too."

"It's such a big ostentation to clean up a few young people," Guan Haoming complained, "Is there a party? Do you have enough drinks or bring your own?"

"Sea water is enough."

Chen Zicheng hung up the phone and physically blocked Guan Haoming's beating voice.

"Who is Chen Shi?" Xiang Xi asked.

"Every city has black and white," Chen Zicheng explained, "N City is a big city, and the underground forces are even more complicated. Many forces compete for each other's interests or fame, and most of them are at odds with each other, annexing each other and friction constantly. But on the road Everyone knows that there are two biggest forces in N City that you must never mess with - Nanshi Beiguan."

"Understood," Xiang Xi nodded, "One of the two biggest forces is active in the north, and it's Guan Haoming; the other is active in the south, and it's Chen Shi you called just now."

"Yes, the struggles of other forces are nothing more than petty troubles in their eyes," Chen Zicheng went on to explain, "When I graduated from junior high school, my dad forced me into a small company. Against him, I still studied finance very hard for a period of time. Starting with this small company, I developed my own underground power in private, and finally formed a pattern of Nanshi Beiguan.”

"You are really amazing." Xiang Xi sighed.

Xiang Xi admired Chen Zicheng's ability from the bottom of his heart - not only did Chen Zicheng successfully set foot in the business world with his outstanding IQ, but he also took this as an opportunity to influence the underground forces in N City with his own strength.South Lion and North Pass, in the final analysis, are all under Chen Zicheng's control.But Chen Zicheng retreated behind the scenes again, everyone would call out to Guan Haoming in awe when they saw Guan Haoming, but few people could recognize Chen Zicheng.Xiang Xi didn't know the purpose of Chen Zicheng's doing so, but Xiang Xi felt that Chen Zicheng's retreat behind the scenes was definitely not as simple as hiding his strength.At the same time, Xiang Xi has already guessed that Chen Zicheng's father's actions and ideas are all indistinguishable.

Chen Zicheng has extraordinary intelligence, and Xiang Xi has the ability to see through people's hearts. This ability is not innate or wanted by Xiang Xi, but the result of being tempered by reality...
