Chapter 44 The past is like smoke(1/2)

Author: Fan Yitong

Dai Yiqin didn't know anything about those past events, but Nan Dabiao, who had been around a lot, knew a little bit.

However, when it comes to household matters, no matter how close you are, you can't talk too much, especially when Jin Shang, the party with the most opinions, is present.

The name of that little cousin, if Jin Shang remembers it correctly, should be Mei Fengchun, which is taken from Du Fu's poem - At this time, I remember the snow far away, can I feel free to see off guests in Fengchun?

Jin Shang used to be a mean-mouthed man and would laugh at the name as being too vulgar. Unexpectedly, the silly and foolish cousin would have such a hot temper. He would strike at the slightest disagreement, causing Xiao Jin, who was not very strong, to be severely beaten.

.

At that time, the little cousin used the above poem to prove how poetic and picturesque her name was, but was criticized by Jin Shang, who was defeated by others. With the sentence "The sparse shadows are slanting across the water, the water is clear, and the faint fragrance floats on the moon at dusk", which won the majority of the audience.

Words are cheap.

Although my little cousin is a little impatient, she has to admit that Lin Bu's "Little Plum in the Mountain Garden" is indeed the ultimate in the art of chanting plum blossoms. Before leaving, she even said harshly to Xiao Jin that she wanted to change her name from plum blossoms.

In spring, it is changed to the shadow of plum blossoms.

The years are suddenly too late, and no one is young anymore. At that time, it was just ordinary, but by the time you understand it, it has already gone through many vicissitudes!

I said goodbye lightly at that time, but I didn't expect that so many years have passed without a single reunion.

I don’t know if my cousin’s name is Mei Fengchun or Mei Shuying now.

"Ashang, do you think it's okay?"

Jin Shi asked hopefully. Jin Shang originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he compromised.

"Let her give it a try. Uncle Da Biao will also look for it, and Brother Dai will recommend someone who is suitable. In the end, we will always find the best one."

If it were someone else who said good things, Jin Shang would definitely not be able to compromise. Lao Jin begged him to give him a chance to show off his abilities.

Seeing that Jin Shang didn't get angry and refused directly, Lao Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. Nan Dabiao calmly patted his brother's shoulder for many years, and then asked the waiter to bring some snacks and pastries. After sitting and chatting for so long, he was indeed a little hungry.

.

The four of them didn't worry about their image, they wolfed down their stomachs and drank some cold boiled water to refresh themselves a little.

"Dad, that little cousin... is almost 20 years old this year. What kind of singer will the family allow him to be?"

Jin Shang's mother's name was Mei Xinghong, which was probably taken from the poem "Sorrow for the light cold wind in the wind, the little plum blossoms are floating in the snow, and the apricot blossoms are red." Although it is a bit tacky, it also expresses the ardent hopes of her parents.

His ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has been a wealthy man for hundreds of years. He started his business by selling salt, and later got involved in cotton textile manufacturing. He is famous in history as "the world of clothes and quilts". The ancestors of the Mei family are one of the biggest driving forces behind the scenes.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Mei family has many branches, some are doing well, and some are gradually declining. Jin Shang's mother Mei Xinghong's family is living a pretty average life. After moving to the north, there have been no outstanding figures for several generations.

.

However, Mei Xinghong's generation has ushered in good opportunities. She has two older brothers and a younger brother, both of whom are more promising.

The eldest brother is hard-working and hard-working, and has a relatively smooth career; the second brother runs a factory and does business. The largest private shipyard in the north is his industry. Recently, he has started to be involved in shipping trade, real estate and other businesses, and his influence is not small;

The youngest brother, Mei Fengchun's father, is obsessed with academic research and is an expert in economics and sociology. Occasionally, you can see articles and comments published by this brother-in-law in major newspapers and periodicals.

It is actually relatively rare for children who grow up in such a family to be involved in the entertainment industry. It is not like twenty years later, earning millions a day, which is extremely popular. Everyone wants to become famous and wallow in it to achieve financial freedom.

You won’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

Nowadays, people in the industry like the Nan brothers may not be able to make a lot of money, and artists who are regarded as cash cows have little influence.

Even if a child from a well-off family like Mei Fengchun really likes to sing and perform in the spotlight, he will go the route of a professional artist, working in song and dance troupes of military and political departments, theaters, film studios, radio and television stations, etc.

This is their destination. With the establishment, they will no longer be little singers or actors who are precarious, bullied and have no one to support them, but they will be people's artists certified by the state.

As if he had anticipated Jin Shang's doubts, Jin Shi sighed softly and said:

"That child has been stubborn since he was a child, and his behavior is not that of a girl. He was annoyed by being criticized, so he rejected the face of his family and applied for the Central Conservatory of Music..."

"What did you learn?"

Dai Yiqin lost no time and asked,

"It's not easy to get into the Central Conservatory of Music. I failed the exam and was scolded as a scumbag for more than ten years."

"Vocal Opera Department, concurrently majoring in composition."

"That's still a talented woman!"

Jin Shang teased angrily,

"I really didn't realize that the little girl who lit up her mouth like firecrackers when she spoke back then could still learn vocal music."

"Is that how you describe it? It's too much of an exaggeration. Besides, she has become a beautiful girl now."

"I hope so."

Jin Shang, who was no longer sarcastic, shut up. He had already taken a step back, so he didn't want to say any sarcastic words. After doing a good thing, there was no point in complaining.

"There are no home games this weekend. If you have time in the afternoon, you can make an appointment with the recording studio to have a sound test."

"Can."

Nan Dabiao agreed, and Dai Yiqin naturally had no objection, so it was settled.

It was getting late, and everyone had their own things to do tomorrow. After the driver and housekeeper Lao Bian arrived, he took the somewhat drunk Jin father and son back home.

As the car drove forward on the empty road, apart from the faint vibration of the engine, there was only the sound of Lao Jin snoring as he fell asleep in the back seat.

"Uncle Bian, has Lao Jin been very hard these days?"

The old Bian's name is Bian Luming, and he has been a housekeeper in the Jin family for many years. When the old woman Xian married into the old Huang family, she followed her. The journey was full of ups and downs for decades, but she did not deviate. She looked at the Jin family's father and son.

Born and raised, he is considered one of the most trustworthy people.

"Xiao Jin also knows that he feels sorry for his elders?"

Old Bian, who was chatting and laughing easily while driving, said,

"Your father is also under a lot of pressure. He has a lot of social activities outside, and he has a capable son at home. He is afraid that he will be held back."

"Um!"

Although Lao Jin keeps saying that he wants to retreat to the second line to enjoy happiness, he is only in his early forties after all. How can he be willing to just watch himself be eliminated by the times?

His business ability can only be considered mediocre. He still has vision and brains, but there are problems with his methods and execution. In layman's terms, he is too emotional and not ruthless enough.

Without the decisiveness to kill and the consciousness of not recognizing relatives, it is difficult to make a name for yourself in a shopping mall full of intrigues and intrigues.

In the past, when his son was still young, Lao Jin could still maintain his father's majesty, but now Xiao Jin is investing hundreds of thousands or millions at every turn, which makes Jin Shi, who has been calculating carefully for so many years, feel that the burden on his shoulders has become much heavier.

It is said that raising children is like feeding a gold-eating beast. Having a son who is determined to start a business at home is like a bottomless pit, and even the gold and silver mountains may not be enough to fill it.

The emergence of rival Jingcheng Technology Co., Ltd. and its lavish spending made Lao Jin feel even more anxious when he couldn't even get a small change.

Although Jin Shang patted his chest and swore that there was no problem, theory is theory, and only God knows whether the actual operation is truly foolproof.

How could the well-informed Lao Jin not know that times have changed and things are changing, so we should not stick to the status quo too much and must keep pace with the times?

One mistake and everything will be lost.

Starting a business requires not only competition in ability and vision, but also real money to support it.

The three Internet heroes BAT in the past life can stand out. Are they really as wise and powerful as the founders boasted in various essays after they became famous?

Didn’t the other competitors who faded out have any redeeming qualities?

To be able to win, in addition to a certain amount of ability and a certain amount of luck, the most important thing is to be able to deceive investors into supporting the burning of money. Only when the competitors with enough weight have fallen, can they have the opportunity to develop and grow later.

The same is true now. The company helmed by Jin Shang does have clear goals, steady steps, and a somewhat uplifting momentum.

But Jingcheng Technology is not helpless. In terms of absolute size, it has no problem crushing Jinxi Culture.

Even if they make many mistakes, as long as they can hold on long enough, they will eventually find the right way forward.

When Xiao Jin started his own business, Lao Jin became more worried and under more pressure.

In matters of business, Jin Shi can't actually help much, and in matters other than business, it takes a lot of energy.

In addition, compared to Jin Shang's simple interpersonal relationships, Jin Toki undoubtedly has a lot of social activities and a lot of troubles to consider.

Over the years, Jin Shang has rarely experienced the troubles caused by coming from a large and complicated family with too many relatives and too many disputes. Jin Shi has basically been shielding the family from wind and rain.

Lao Jin is indeed not very qualified as a son or a husband. In Jin Shang's opinion, Jin Shi has done a good enough job according to his father's standards.

"It's a good thing to have something you want to do. However, Uncle Bian, sometimes I still advise my father that dwelling on the past won't help. Only by putting aside the baggage of the past and traveling lightly can we look forward to a better future."

The old woman Xian remarried several times, and Jin Shi changed her surname several times when she was a child. The last cheap father, Jin Sancai, was a neighbor of Jin Shang's uncle. Jin Sancai had a younger brother named Jin Miao, who was the same as Jin Shang's mother Mei Xinghong.

They were of similar age, and the two elders chatted over wine and made a verbal engagement.

The man came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. They lived together in Changqian, and the two children had no doubts.

It is talking about the relationship between childhood sweethearts, Jin Miao and Mei Xinghong, who have known each other since childhood.

According to the general development, the two people should grow up loving each other, and then naturally become husband and wife, creating a good story.

It's a pity that things are fickle, and no matter how great the truth is, it can't compare with human kindness. There is only the friendship between neighbors and brother and sister between Jin Miao and Mei Xinghong, and they have no idea of ​​​​knowing Mu Shaoai and being a concubine.

To put it in a more down-to-earth way, it’s too familiar to start with.

The two of them, who get along like family members day and night, really can't bear to marry someone who is like a brother or sister.

This truth is actually easy to understand. Normal boys will basically not have any special thoughts about sisters living under the same roof, no matter how beautiful they are.
