PNB Chapter 11 Fighting Poison with Poison
Chapter 11 Fighting Poison with Poison
Liu Xiaoli didn't go to rehearsal today, enjoying a rare day of rest at home.
In the afternoon, a guest whom Chen Lang also knew came to our house.
Chen Jinfei.
When Chen Lang was still living in the Wuhan University staff quarters and his eyesight was still pixelated, he heard that Chen Lang had visited him several times.
From their conversation, Chen Lang also learned some things about their relationship.
Chen Jinfei's parents and Liu Xiaoli's parents were old neighbors and comrades-in-arms who grew up together in the same government compound.
The friendship between the two families is deeply rooted.
Liu Xiaoli is three years older than Chen Jinfei. When they were little, Chen Jinfei would always follow her around calling her "Sister Xiaoli". Later, when they grew up, he just called her Xiaoli.
He and An Shaokang have been friends for many years.
But by comparison, he was closer to Liu Xiaoli.
He had just resigned from his government job last year to start his own business.
At the time, An Shaokang also seemed to have given him some financial support.
He looked much younger and thinner than he appeared on television in later generations.
He was wearing a leather jacket that was considered very fashionable at the time, his hair was slicked back, and he didn't yet have the kind of street smarts that comes with years of experience in the business world.
"Hey, you've struck it rich, Boss Chen!"
Liu Xiaoli looked at the large and small bags Chen Jinfei brought in, including imported malted milk powder, beautifully packaged cookies, and pretty clothes and toys for the two children, and couldn't help but tease him.
"With so much stuff, could it be used for speculation and profiteering?"
Chen Jinfei laughed and put the things on the table.
He wasn't particularly handsome, but there was a shrewdness and a bold air about him.
"Xiaoli, your thinking is so outdated."
"Now the government allows individual businesses and encourages private enterprises to operate legally."
"I'm doing this in response to the call of the nation."
He took a pack of Marlboros out of his pocket and handed one to his grandfather.
"I started a company called BJ Tongchan Printing and Dyeing, which specializes in exporting textiles and has made a little money."
His tone carried an undisguised air of triumph.
Chen Lang knew that he was making a lot of money.
88 was the golden age of China's foreign trade exports. Those who dared to venture into business and had connections made a fortune.
Chen Jinfei is undoubtedly one of the best among them.
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Jinfei explained his purpose for visiting.
He came to act as an intermediary for An Shaokang.
"Xiaoli, look, you and Kang have been separated for so long, this can't go on forever."
"Kang is a bookworm, not good with words, but he cares about you and the kids."
"you……"
"Jin Fei, stop talking."
Liu Xiaoli interrupted him, and the smile on her face faded.
It's not a question of who's right and who's wrong.
"Our two families have very different philosophies."
"Forcing them together will only lead to more arguments and fights, which won't be good for the child either."
She lowered her head and touched Chen Lang and An Feng, who were sitting on the sofa, looking up at them with their little faces.
"I'm fine as I am now."
"I have a son and a daughter, and my parents are there for me. I am very content."
Looking at her calm profile, Chen Jinfei knew that he couldn't persuade her otherwise.
He sighed and changed the subject.
"A son and a daughter?"
He smiled as he looked at the two children.
"But Kang-ge said it was his daughter and son-in-law?"
"Is the engagement already settled?"
Liu Xiaoli was amused by him and looked at the two children tenderly.
"That's true, but children shouldn't take it seriously."
"Who knows what will happen when they grow up?"
Chen Jinfei stood up, walked to the sofa, and picked Chen Lang up in his arms.
"We grew up together, so our relationship must be strong. I think it's a good match."
As he spoke, he carefully examined the tiny child in his arms.
"Jingfang is such a handsome boy, but he's too young."
"She was much smaller than Sissi, and very light."
Chen Jinfei weighed it in his hand.
"His eyes are like his mother's, his eyebrows are exactly like Xiaoqin's, and his nose and mouth are somewhat like Jingfang's."
"I wish I had such a beautiful pair of children!"
Liu Xiaoli carried the thermos to refill Chen Jinfei's water, teasing him with a smile.
"With your big, burly build, you couldn't possibly have given birth to someone like that. Why don't you become godparents? That would be a way to fulfill your wish."
Chen Jinfei laughed heartily.
"That's great, Qianqian, you've really made a good deal. I'll ask Jingfang later."
"Oh, as the old saying goes, even godparents are still family!"
Chen Lang also looked up, sizing up the man who was laughing heartily.
Huh? Are they already showing signs of adopting godchildren?
To be honest, Chen Lang's feelings toward Chen Jinfei were quite complicated.
From the very beginning, all those messy news reports that the media exposed.
What about the sugar daddy, sugar daddy, all-around sex, abortion rumors...?
At first, he hated him so much that he wished he could take his place.
These news stories troubled Liu Yifei for more than a decade afterward.
They went on "Today's Talk" to provide evidence and clarified the situation, and even filed a formal lawsuit. Even though they won the case, these news stories haven't completely disappeared.
Even later, Liu Yifei became a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry thanks to her excellent works and good character.
These rumors have not completely disappeared from the internet.
As more details later became known.
In reality, rational people can easily understand this.
The relationship between the two families is actually quite simple.
A family-run business partnership, characterized by mutual support within the family.
Chen Jinfei provided capital, planning, and helped Liu Yifei get into Beijing Film Academy and open Hongxingwu. Liu Yifei's commercial returns came after she gained fame due to her outstanding looks and potential.
He could also gain connections from the An and Liu families, which was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
But from an outsider's perspective, Chen Lang could understand.
Envy, jealousy, and a sense of imbalance are common human flaws.
I'm not afraid of my brothers suffering, I'm afraid of my brothers driving Land Rovers.
More often than not, it's because of its favorable conditions and resources; it became popular too quickly, blocking the path of too many others.
In a sense, this man is now Chen Lang's biggest financial backer.
Moreover, judging from this situation, the bond of godparents is undeniable.
That's great, a golden leg delivered right to your door, why not take it!
Moreover...
Those so-called Yangzhou "slender horses" and "rice bowls with toppings"...
If I joined in now.
Can't the haters keep criticizing the addition of sausage to rice bowls?
This is called fighting poison with poison!
I'm the man who slept between that mother and daughter for several years since I was a child.
Anyway, An Feng will have to recognize him as his godfather in the future, and he, as the child groom, is already tied to him, so he probably can't escape it either.
It's better to take the initiative than to passively accept it.
Now, with Chen Jinfei's career just starting out, it's the perfect time to invest in relationships.
Two years from now, once that person has truly become a billionaire, if you try to recognize him as your godfather, the nature of the situation will change, and your posture will become awkward.
Thinking of this, Chen Lang was suddenly enlightened.
He looked up at Chen Jinfei's face, which was full of heroic spirit, and called out in a childish voice.
"dad……"
