Then Lao Li looked at me.

I laughed: "there are two reasons. First, there have been some personnel changes in the company recently. The technical backbone has gone a lot, and the technical force can't keep up with you in undertaking your projects. In this way, the construction quality can't be guaranteed Second, the company is ready to adjust the direction of business development, focusing on expanding to foreign areas, and local construction projects are not the focus Based on these two points, I decided to suspend the ongoing contract project, and no longer undertake the new project of Xinghai. "

These two reasons I came up with to prevaricate Lao Li, but they are still sufficient.

Listen to me finish, summer slightly relieved, seems to think my explanation is reasonable.

"Oh..." Lao Li looked at me, then looked at summer, and then said, "these two reasons sound like that."

Summer and I looked at each other again and didn't speak.

Lao Li looked at the summer: "Xiaoji, Xiaoke, do you believe this reason?"

Summer hesitates and falters.

"Answer me, do you believe it?" Lao Li stopped laughing and looked a little serious.

Summer grinned: "this I think Should You should believe it. "

Lao Li didn't speak. He looked at summer deeply, and his expression became more and more serious.

Summer did not dare to look at Lao Li's eyes and bowed his head.

Lao Li then looked at me: "Xiao Ke, do you believe these two so-called reasons?"

"I I believe it I also dare not look into Lao Li's eyes. I can't help feeling guilty.

"Is it from the heart?" Lao Li looks at me.

"Yes It's from the heart I said.

"Tell me again!" Lao Li said.

I'm afraid to say anything.

"Do you think I should believe it?" Lao Li said.

Summer and I don't speak.

Lao Li was silent for a moment and sighed: "believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway You all look up to me. "

Summer and I look up.

"Look at me," said Lao Li.

Summer and I look at Lao Li.

"Can any of you tell me what the real reason is?" Lao Li said.

I look at summer and he looks at me and doesn't talk.

"Why don't you talk?" Lao Li said.

"The reason I said that just now I said.

"Is that the real reason? Dare you tell me again? Dare you say that's the real reason? " Lao Li said.

"This..." I stopped for a moment.

"Xiao Ji, talk about it." Lao Li looked at summer again.

Summer hesitates: "I I... "

I can't tell.

"What are you doing? Why are you stuttering? " Lao Li said.

"Dad I I actually agree with Ike Summer said.

Lao Li took a look at me and then looked at summer: "who put forward this on his own initiative? Did little Krishnamurti put it forward first or did you put it forward first? "

"This..." Summer falters again, the expression on the face is a little nervous.

I then said: "this is my initiative."

"I didn't ask you:" Lao Li didn't look at me, continued to look at summer: "Xiao Ji, answer me!"

"I I... " Summer stutters.

I hastened to say, "it's really my initiative Don't embarrass the summer

Lao Li looked at me and summer, and didn't talk for a long time.

Summer wipe forehead cold sweat, grateful to look at me.

From Lao Li's eyes and expression, it seems that he has already perceived something and the real reason.

Lao Li continued to be silent. Summer and I did not dare to speak. Summer atmosphere did not dare to come out. I dare to take a deep breath.

"Well, since neither of you is willing to tell the truth, I will not force you." For a long time, Lao Li said.

I was relieved, summer also relaxed a little bit, wipe the cold sweat of forehead again.

In summer, this powerful boss was so afraid in front of his own Laozi, which really surprised me.

Although I was a little afraid of Lao Li's majesty and momentum at this time, I was not afraid to the extent of summer.

After a while, Lao Li said, "Xiao Ji, you are my son, my own son!"

Summer bows its head.

Lao Li then said, "Xiao Ke, although you are not my own, in my eyes and in my heart, you are also my son It's my bloodless son. "

I didn't say anything.

"You are both my sons!" Lao Li said another word, and then he was silent.

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Lao Li said, "I said that day that I hope you two can be brothers and be the best brothers A good brother doesn't mean it's in the mouth, it's in the action Now Xiaoji of Sanshui group has just encountered a fire, and is carrying out project construction in the Development Zone, and is about to carry out post disaster reconstruction. Xiaoke, you suddenly terminate the contract and tear up the agreement for grand reasons. Is this what brothers should do? "I lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. Suddenly I felt sad.

I bear Lao Li's accusation in silence.

Lao Li continued: "and you, Xiaoji, Sanshui group and Xingtai construction company have been cooperating very well. The construction quality and qualification of Xingtai construction company are the first-class of Xinghai. Who do Sanshui group's construction projects not go to Xingtai? To whom can you rest assured, to whom can you have such high quality and efficiency

"Xingtai construction company is Xiaoke's, not to mention the construction quality is better, it is the same quality, you should also consider Xiaoke's side first, look at your tone just now, it seems that you agree with Xiaoke's idea, even if Xiaoke puts forward it first, will you believe his so-called two reasons? Can you promise? You agreed. Can you feel right for Xiao Ke? Is this what a brother should do again? "

Summer lowers its head deeply.

Lao Li then said, "you two are cheating on me. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. You think you are very smart and clever. You think you are very proud of yourself. One is making up reasons to fool me, and the other is echoing to fool me? You think it's safe? Do you feel at ease? You think it's safe? "

Summer and I are silent.

"When I asked you the real reason, I didn't say a word. I was dumbfounded You think my old man is so easy to fool? Do you think I can't guess what you think? " "Lao Li said:" I tell you two little things, you are still too early to tell me the truth

Summer and I became little things in front of Lao Li.

"I don't want to say you're stupid little things, but I want to say you're both stupid little things!" Lao Li was a little depressed, and then said, "today I put my words here Xiao Ke, the contract of the development zone is not allowed to be torn up or terminated. Be your legal person honestly and work hard for me. Take over the reconstruction project of the plant honestly and rebuild it for me. You just two reasons, go to hell I think what I said is very good. In fact, I can't believe a ghost. Besides, I'm not a ghost. I'm still alive

"And you, Xiao Ji, arrange the relevant personnel to faithfully fulfill the signed agreement, build the project in the Development Zone, and cooperate with Xingtai construction company. I can only rest assured that the reconstruction of the plant area will be handed over to Xingtai On this issue, neither of you should say anything more. It's settled! "

Lao Li's last tone was a little harsh.

I dare not confront Lao Li face to face, but my heart is still very tangled.

summer dare not defy Lao Li's will, but his mind is also very contradictory.

Lao Li seemed to understand what we were thinking. He took a drink from the cup and then slowed down and said, "children I don't want to ask you what you are thinking, and I don't want to know so clearly But I want to tell you something - "

summer and I look at Lao Li.

Lao Li said, "this is the saying that brothers are willing to take advantage of each other to break gold."

My new car didn't move. I took a look at summer, and he also took a look at me.

"The most important thing between brothers is suspicion, and the most terrible thing is that they can't unite and work together I'm old. I can't always look at you and guide you. In the future, it's up to you to work hard. I can't support you all your life. I hope that one day when I go to another world, you two can work together and unite as brothers. " Lao Li said slowly.

Lao Li talked about what happened after him.

"Dad --" the voice of summer is suddenly a little sour.

My heart is also slightly sour.

Lao Li looked at summer with loving eyes, looked at me again, and then laughed again: "of course, I won't leave easily. As long as you don't make me angry, don't make me unhappy, don't let me down, of course I will live well and live happily with you I want to see you all get married and have good wives. I also want to see my grandson grow up. "

I tried to smile, summer also barely squeeze out a little smile.

Lao Li continued: "I also want to tell you that I have experienced more hardships and tribulations, encountered more resistance and troubles in my life, but I have never been discouraged in the face of difficulties, compromised or evaded, and never bowed to any evil forces. This is my character, and my sons must have such a character

"In this world, darkness is everywhere. Don't think that if you retreat, darkness won't cover you. Don't think that if you calm down, darkness will let you go. If a wolf wants to eat a lamb, there will always be excuses Blindly tolerating the result of avoidance will only make you lose the ability to resist, and finally become a good meal in the mouth of the wolf. "

Listening to Lao Li's words, it seems that he is not simply referring to the fire. He even considers a more profound level.

Of course, at this time, I don't know what level Lao Li has considered. I can't compare my mind with Lao Li.

Summer and I watched Lao Li intently.

Lao Li continued: "Xiao Ji, maybe I understand your idea. You just want to be a pure businessman and a clean businessman. You want to get out of the three realms and not do your business in the five elements. But your idea is obviously naive. Society is not as simple and complex as you think."In the real society, in today's reality, you can't realize this idea. If you don't count on others, others will count on you. If you don't provoke others, others will stare at you. If you can't find this excuse, you will find other excuses. As long as you focus on you, you can always find an excuse. You can't escape There is no paradise, there will never be. "

The eyelids of summer are beating slightly.
