Over the mountain is the sea

Chapter 90
The lawyer went through the agreement signed by both parties carefully, then carefully put it back in the file folder, bowed to shake hands with Liang Zhongming and Xu Zhiyuan respectively, and then retired first, the meritorious deeds were consummated.

This is Liang Zhongming's office in the Yuanda headquarters. It is spacious, clean and brightly lit.

The two brothers sat on the sofa in what they thought was the most comfortable posture, without any intention of parting ways immediately.

"Brother, will you blame me?" Zhiyuan took out a thick cigar from the box on the sofa, put it on his nose and sniffed it intoxicatedly, the taste was mellow.

Liang Zhongming smiled lightly, "There is nothing to complain about, these should belong to you, besides, I have to thank you for allowing me to start my own business."

Zhiyuan also laughed, his pure smiling face looked full of vigor under the sunlight, but his pale complexion seemed to Liang Zhongming to be a poppy-like ether poison.

"Brother, I remember that every time my mother punished me when I was young, you always came to save me secretly. How good we were then!" He sighed with regret.

Liang Zhongming's fingers tapped the time methodically on the armrest of the sofa, as if he was playing a melodious tune in his heart, without the embarrassment of a defeated player at all.

Zhiyuan played with the cigar between his fingers, and continued: "Although we are not blood brothers, in my heart, I have always regarded you as the closest person, haha, thinking about it makes me feel ridiculous, the only one in this world who has 'love' for me 'The person is not his living parents, but a person who has no blood relationship."

Liang Zhongming was immersed in his own rhythm, smiling and silent in a half-heard way.

Zhiyuan sighed, and leaned his face on the sofa, as if he didn't expect Liang Zhongming to listen, but he had held some words in his heart for too long, and he could finally express them at this moment.

"Do you know why my mother doesn't like you? Because you have always been so good, you are better than her own son, with you as a comparison, how can she not dislike me? I think, if you are my mother's own son Yes, she will definitely make you proud, but unfortunately—you are not."

"I'm not telling you this because I'm jealous of you. No, I never thought about it back then, whether you got all of Dad's love, or Mom had to reuse you because of your talent and connection with the Yan family, these I don't care, I hate the business stuff, if you like it, I don't care if I give it all to you, but..." The corners of his mouth gradually tightened, and the lines became more and more rigid. He lowered his head, so Liang Zhongming He couldn't appreciate it, but his voice gradually trembled, "Why didn't you even let her go?"

Liang Zhongming slowed down with his dancing fingers following the silent rhythm.

"You married and had children early, and you have all the most worldly happiness, but what about me? What kind of life have I lived these years? Do you know? Life is rich, but the heart is empty. I don't like school because I hate socializing with people, You want to drive me back to school again and again, and I run away again and again... until I met her, I suddenly didn't want to run away, and I even felt grateful to you..." He closed his eyes, as if intoxicated by the good memories "Her smile, the way she speaks, and the way she walks all make me admire her. She is so beautiful...but you took her away. Now that I have full trust in you and the future When I just built up a little confidence." He opened his eyes and stared at Liang Zhongming, the hatred in those eyes made him shiver involuntarily, this younger brother who had been dependent on him since he was a child has grown up , Never look at yourself with awe again.

Liang Zhongming met his gaze, maintained his usual calm, pondered for a while, and asked lightly, "When did you find out?"

Zhiyuan was a little surprised by his calmness, but he still replied truthfully: "Before Dad died, you may not remember. There was a time when you dropped your phone on his bed before you left... Then she called, and I just happened to See... I didn't answer, but I couldn't help but check your mobile phone, and saw the text message she sent you, so affectionate..." His teeth were clenched.

"So - you want to kill me?" Liang Zhongming raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Zhiyuan's face turned pale, "So you found out." Then he said bitterly: "Yes! I want to kill both of you! You... one is my closest relative and the other is my favorite, but You did the most disgusting thing behind my back."

Liang Zhongming made no excuses with a sullen face, and the room was silent for a while.

"I've been thinking about how to get revenge on you. If I had exposed this matter at that time, it might not have any effect. Yuanda is still relying on you to maintain it. Even if Yan Jingling is annoyed, she may not break up with you. Such a result It's too cheap for you, and it's not fun at all. So, I chose to be silent, I have to wait until one day I can drive you out of Yuanda and leave Xu's house for nothing. At that time, I'm afraid I will keep saying "love" Your Mrs. Liang also had to break up with you." Zhiyuan's tone was full of pride, "Look, I didn't wait in vain, this day finally came. But I want you to understand, it's not that I'm ungrateful, it's all about you ask for it!"

"So, choosing to invest in a hotel, acquire Yunxi, and plant it on Yi Nan's head are also your long-planned ideas?"

"Yes! I just want to show Yan Jingling what a good husband in her eyes is doing! Don't you think this is a double-edged move? It not only relieves my hatred, but also cuts off your backup. Otherwise, why are you willing to sit here and sign that agreement today!"

Zhiyuan's handsome face turned rosy from excitement, and the pleasure of revenge made him feel happier than ever before, "Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you still have those hotels in your hand, to tell you the truth, the acquired No one in the hotel has an optimistic financial situation." His face gradually revealed a tinge of color, "It's also your fault that you are too careless to believe me. I asked Intercom to manage the financial power. I can't see it either. In fact... I don't have to listen to all the intercoms. Now the hotel's financial audit has begun, and Yunxi is the first one. If I guess right, its debt ratio should not be lower than [-] million. Others They are all about the same. Do you still remember my mother’s prophecy, in fact, I managed to do it—what you took over is a pile of scrap metal.”

Liang Zhongming didn't panic at all, he seemed not to be thinking about Zhiyuan's words at all, his eyes were wandering looking ahead, as if he was talking to himself, "You... love Yao Yinan?"

Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he said proudly: "Of course. But that was in the past, now there is only hatred." He quickly corrected himself, "No, there is no hatred at all, she doesn't even bother me to do this."

Liang Zhongming looked at his younger brother peacefully, "Zhiyuan, if you really love someone, you won't have the heart to watch her fall off the cliff and run up to kick her."

The corner of Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, and he said contemptuously: "What about you? If you really love Yao Yinan, why do you only sneak around with her and never want to give her a name. If it were me," he suddenly choked on himself , Still hanging her neck and finished, "If she is with me, I will not give up on her even if I have nothing."

Liang Zhongming's lips curled up slightly, which was fleeting, and he raised his eyebrows, not wanting to be entangled in such boring assumptions. "Zhiyuan, as I said, I don't blame you. It's just that you are still naive after all. It's really not that material, whether it's murder or—— business."

Zhiyuan didn't understand what he meant, but he began to feel uncomfortable because of his determined expression, this shouldn't be the demeanor of a loser.He lit the cigar and took a strong puff. The smell was strong and spicy. He coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said: "I can't think of any chance for you to turn around."

Liang Zhongming looked at him showing childish complacency, and smiled slightly, "You and your mother do control the most legal person shares of Yuanda, but you seem to have forgotten who the current owner of Yuanda's tradable shares is?"

Zhiyuan thought for a while, his face gradually turned pale, Liang Zhongming nodded appreciatively, "You reacted very quickly. You guessed right, Yuanda's circulation accounted for more than 90%. You have to beware of your mother's sharp eyes, and you can't cause trouble for the Securities Regulatory Commission, but fortunately, about [-]% of them are bought into the bag today. You can calculate, even if other members of the board of directors sell all the existing shares immediately For you, it probably won't exceed the amount in my hand, so who do you think is Yuanda's master now?"

Zhiyuan, who was still standing on the pinnacle of victory just now, suddenly fell into the abyss.

"As for the hotel industry we mentioned just now, it is indeed just as you said, it is a pile of scrap metal!" Liang Zhongming smiled and stretched his hands, "However, if I don't give you the opportunity to display your talents Chances, your smart mother will stare at me naked all the time. So, this is the price I have to bear, besides, it is nothing to me now, with Mrs. Xu behind me , I believe the condition of the hotel is not that bad!"

"What do you mean?" Although Zhiyuan had vaguely understood, he was still holding on, the orange-red light between his fingers flickered on and off, and was in danger of going out at any moment.

Liang Zhongming looked at him with pity, and asked leisurely: "Did Rhode not let you sign the stock purchase permit for these few months? Or did you trust him too much and give him plenipotentiary? If it is the latter, you might as well call him immediately Come to a meeting and see what stocks with appreciation potential have been bought for you recently with your money. I think he will not let you down, because he is so confident in the hotel you run that he wants to use Your money is going to help you lift up the stock index. But I advise you to be careful, if you buy it at such a high price, you can’t let it fall again, otherwise, no amount of money can fill this hole.”

Zhiyuan's face was ashen for a moment, but his forehead began to sweat: "Rod, him, how dare he?"

Liang Zhongming shook his head at him, "So I say you are not suitable for doing business at all. Do you know what is the most primitive driving force in business?" He leaned forward, persuading him like teaching Zhiyuan, "Loyalty ? No, it’s benefits! It’s always benefits. Zhiyuan, you’re still too gullible!” He then smiled and said, “Look, what an interesting game we played, you want me to get rid of Yuanda completely, and my The purpose is to take the hotel into our own. Unexpectedly, after going around, we got the opposite result—you became the owner of the hotel, but Yuanda became mine.”

Zhiyuan slumped on the sofa like ooze, the cigar in his hand was folded into several pieces, and there was a terrifying and suffocating silence in the room.

In this extremely quiet and strange atmosphere, Liang Zhongming raised his hand and took out a cigar, and took out a silver lighter from his trouser pocket, lit it with a "snap", lit it, and put it away neatly.

He took a deep breath, letting the pungent taste fully saturate his lungs, just like the taste he needs to experience after every victory, enjoyable and exciting, but also somewhat—indescribably empty.

He gracefully and slowly exhaled smoke rings to keep his brain in a vacuum state. He fought this tough battle too hard, and it took him years of deliberation and strategizing to win this moment of pleasure.The joy of victory was not as intense as he had imagined, it seemed so faint, and he lost interest.

The veins on Zhiyuan's forehead gradually popped up. He suddenly jumped up hysterically and rushed towards Liang Zhongming, shouting hoarsely, "No! This is impossible! Obviously I won!"

Liang Zhongming had already stood up at the moment when he rushed over, and with a slap of his hand, he was thrown to the ground. The contempt in his eyes was undisguised, and he said coldly, "Why, you still want to kill me?"

Zhiyuan fell down, and although he did not make a sound, he felt that he was shattered into pieces like a piece of porcelain.From the moment he declared war on Liang Zhongming in his heart, he became ruthless, only allowed to win, not to lose.Because he knew that what he lost was not only his own property, but also his mother's face - he swore in front of her that he would stand on his own, and he would fight for the declining mother, but - he still didn't Being able to escape his mother's dark prophecy, he lay down on the cold floor tiles and howled mournfully with his heart ashamed!
Liang Zhongming stood one meter away from him, bowed his head and stared at him, like looking at a desperate animal, but he knew that he was not a threat to him, never was!
"Are you... Are you using Yao Yinan too?" Zhiyuan suddenly looked up at him, with crazy despair and horror in his eyes.

Liang Zhongming didn't take precautions, he was stabbed by his sudden question and the sharpness in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, didn't speak, and contempt flashed in his eyes, his brother was always narrower than him.

"You never loved her, did you? You were with her just to provoke me to make a move, right?" Zhiyuan shouted hoarsely, his voice was exhausted as if he was on the verge of death.

Liang Zhongming stared at him coldly, and didn't bother to argue with him any more. His cell phone rang at the right time, and he picked it up. After listening, he replied briefly and hung up.

"Your mother suffered a heart attack and was just sent to the hospital. If you have any filial piety to her, go and see her."

With a sound of "clang—" a dazzling white light flashed in front of his eyes, Liang Zhongming turned his head in amazement, and Zhiyuan threw his favorite crystal pen stand on the table and smashed it against the wall in front of him.

Liang Zhongming's eyes shot towards Zhiyuan, and he was cutting his wrist with a paper knife...

His face turned livid all of a sudden.
