novelThe World Is As Cold As a Knife

Feelings were definitely a luxury item, at least for Gu Tianyou. After returning from Haizhou, he wanted to write a long letter to Big Head Fang's Pearl of the Palm. He had been sitting alone by the Crouching Dragon Lake for almost three hours without holding back a single word. In the past, he had read a letter from a famous scholar addressed to someone, addressed to one person, addressed to another, addressed to another, filled with emotion, and read with emotion. Only when it was his turn to write did he realize the awkward feeling of passion turning into a lifting brush and forgetting words.
Third-party investor Gu Tianyou chose Yang Wenshan. Considering the feud between the Wolong Pond and the Flying Tiger Ridge, it would be too difficult for the villagers of the Wolong Pond to accept the capital of the Flying Tiger Ridge. Unless there were capable people to help, the most capable person in Wolongtang Village would naturally be Big Head Fang.
When he raised his head, he saw Uncle Geng fishing opposite him. He thought that this old glass was playing infatuation and almost killed him. Even if he didn't lack heart and eyes, he wasn't a smart person. After coming into contact with him for a few days, he discovered that it wasn't the case at all. This old fellow was very smart, and his words were often accurate.
Why don't you ask this infatuated person how to write so that Miss Le'er's tears will flow into her eyes and she will bow down?
Gu Tianyou leaned over and took a lot of saliva to express what he wanted to say. After a moment of silence, Old Geng sized up Tianyou for a long time and shook his head, "You should just call him directly."
"What do you mean?"
Geng Jianjun said tactfully, "It means that you are too complicated. It may be related to the environment in which you grew up, so you won't absolutely trust anyone. At least that's what you give me at the moment."
"Are you saying that I'm not sincere enough?" Gu Tianyou's face was filled with grievances as he said, "This is clearly prejudice."
"I just think you're too complicated. Ah Fan is prejudiced against you. He told me to listen to what you said. Not a single punctuation mark is worth believing."
"Uncle, your words have disappointed me. To be fair, have I ever told you two half a lie?"
"That's because if you lied to us earlier, you wouldn't have gained our trust. Just because you didn't lie to us before doesn't mean you won't lie in the future. In fact, today, you lied to me once."
"Today, when?"
"On the way back in the evening, you said nothing happened between you and Miao Ruolin. You talked about business all afternoon."
"At best, it's a white lie. The truth is that Chairman Miao is a passionate person. I'm just not blessed to accept it. It's about a woman's reputation. You know that."
"I can't tell you're quite considerate." Geng Jianjun said unmoved, "However, I would like to know more if she did not agree to your request to start negotiations, would you still be so considerate in protecting her privacy?"
" Uncle Geng, this is still prejudice."
"It's more comfortable for you to call me Old Geng." "Also, I'm just stating the fact that you can't be a good man. If you want others to believe your sincerity, at the very least you have to be unreserved. Can you?" Geng Jianjun said disapprovingly.
"Without reservation?" Gu Tianyou smiled and self-deprecated, "I'll fight for a good baby in my next life. Forget it in this life."
"That's your problem. Your goal was impure from the beginning. How could you write such touching sentences?"
"No matter how difficult it is, I have to carry on. Whether or not the capital of the Flying Tiger Ridge Village can be involved is very important to Big Head Fang. I have lived here for more than four years and have said no more than a hundred words to Big Head Fang. My only hope is Le'er."
"Your strong point is that you can even lie to your face, so I suggest you bring that girl back for an interview."
"Old Geng, this is not just prejudice, but unfounded discrimination and slander. However, I have decided to consider your suggestion."
Geng Jianjun smiled and said, "Ah Fan said that really smart liars rarely deceive people. He only deceived us at the most critical moment. You did tell us a lot of truth, but we are still not sure if you are running this for Gu Yufei 's last wish or for yourself."
"It doesn't matter who you are. The important thing is that you have already boarded my ship. Only by working together can you reach the other side." Gu Tianyou raised his hand and pointed east. It was the location of the Wolongtang industrial complex."If everything goes well, that place will be the place where you dream of sailing in two years. The outside world is so big, haven't you thought of looking around?"
"Hehe." Geng Jianjun chuckled. Under Gu Tianyou's inquiring gaze, he reluctantly explained, "Please forgive me. It's really hard for me to associate you with an idealist."
"Whatever you want." Gu Tianyou smiled nonchalantly, "But I wonder if you ever had a dream?"
"Everyone has their own dreams. It's just that their life experiences are different. There are big and small dreams." Geng Jianjun looked at the night sky."When I was young, I had many great dreams. Now that I'm old, there are only a few that are close and small."
Li Qiang, the third shop in the West Supervision District, had done pyramid selling before, and when he mentioned this, he kept on talking. This person's brain was not smart, and his speech was limited, so he was completely following the book to declare the subject. But there are some things that make sense. He remembered that at that time, the most he talked about was team building.
The old man alone was destined to be a lonely and lonely hero. The leader of the Blasting Group was a scholar who was filled with sorrow and compassion for the heavens, but he was completely out of tune with the entire society. Miao Shifan was a genius with extraordinary charm, but he failed because his extreme emotions and polarities were hard to control. One thing the three of them had in common was that they all liked to travel alone.
Only Grandpa Long had been able to gallop wildly and freely all his life, not disappointing his family, country, and world. He had a deep sense of kindness and brotherly righteousness, allowing him to live a carefree and carefree life. Without those decades in prison, Gu Tianyou would have thought that it was the perfect life he yearned for.
Gu Tianyou was twenty-two years old. Relying on the money left behind by Gu Yufei and the survival skills and connections he had accumulated in prison, he earned the first bucket of gold in Flying Tiger Ridge. As long as he didn't spend it recklessly, this amount of money was enough to make him one of the wealthy. Going this far alone was already Gu Tianyou's limit. However, this was not what Heaven's Blessing wanted. Ever since the moment Xu Jinwen took Xu Jiahui away from him with his gun, Tianyou had made up his mind to be someone who could completely control his own destiny.
Li Qiang was right. One person's skill was poor, and one person's strength was more than enough.
Old Geng had great character flaws, but in some respects, he was the top talent. Another important factor was that taking care of Old Geng was equivalent to taking care of Miao Shifan. Teacher Miao was a lunatic, but he had undeniable business talent and experience.
Successful people don't care about small matters. Gu Tianyou thinks that he needs such a talent around him.
The problem now was how to make him use it willingly.
When it comes to dreams, Old Geng may be moved by nostalgia, or he may just need an excuse to talk. He actually spoke a lot of rare words.
"I joined the army in 1976, Back then, this was the best way for young people, Joining the army at that time was subject to very rigorous political scrutiny, Because my father was one of the 68 martyrs who died in the self-defence counterattack on Treasure Island in '69, So, I smoothly passed the political trial. During my seven years in the army, I only had glory and loyalty in my world. Before I met Afan, I went to many places to perform various missions. At that time, I thought that was the kind of life I wanted to live. The sky was high and the sea was wide, and I was loyal to my country."
"As expected of an infatuated seed. In just a few words, his heart is filled with emotions." Gu Tianyou smiled and commented.
"During the summer of the last year of the Force, I got to know Ah Fan, That memory was written in my diary, As you know, I'm not gonna say anything, It was a very painful memory, But it was the best memory for me. In the first few years after returning from the island, we were both running away from each other. At that time, he was frantically investing in the medical profession and soon became famous. I chose to live a muddled life without any expectation of life. I lived in memories."
"From another perspective, the two of you have the same choice. Both of you are running away from the life you really want." Gu Tianyou tries to analyze it from their perspective: "The only difference is that he uses a more positive approach, and you choose a negative approach. You live in the eyes of others, lose yourself, and waste a lot of good time."
"If we had known you at that time, perhaps we wouldn't have regretted it for so many years." Geng Jianjun stared at the starry sky and sighed, "If it weren't for you helping us pierce through this layer of window paper, I think he would have waited inside until he was sixty years old, and I, by now, might have died in that ruins."
"We were just helping each other, Teacher helped me set up the Shanghai State Holdings line, "I brought you here for him. For the time being, he can't get out of there. It's nominally because I'm protecting you that you're staying by my side. In fact, you've given me a lot of care in life. The things I'm planning are destined to make many powerful people unhappy when they get to a certain depth. With you around, you can protect me instead."
Gu Tianyou tried his best to look as mature and reliable as possible and said in a deep tone, "Old Geng, believe me, I will definitely get Mr. Miao out as soon as possible."
Geng Jianjun withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and turned to look at Tianyou. He solemnly said, "Don't worry, I will stay by your side until the matter of the Wolong Pond is over."
Gu Tianyou listened carefully, trying to tell from his tone if there was anything else in this sentence other than the terms of the exchange.
Just as the phone rang, Dai Xiaolou called.
An hour ago, a corpse was found near the railway station. The man was not more than ten years old. His death was extremely tragic. Not only was his eyes gone, he was also ripped open by the murderer. His liver, heart and kidneys were also dug out. Judging from the stiffness of the corpse, the forensic surgeon deduced that the time of death was this morning.
When Dai Xiaolou said this in a cold tone, Gu Tianyou could feel Captain Dai's uncontrollable indignation and self-blame through the phone.
Geng Jianjun heard everything clearly from beginning to end. He hung up the phone and stared at Gu Tianyou, as if asking, "What are you going to do?"
