Chapter 82

In the skyscrapers under the scorching sun, every window is shining with dazzling light.

Idol singer Xie Yuxiao's national tour Yuancheng Station is about to start, and his promotional advertisements are scrolling on the giant screens of every commercial building in the city center.

Many fans stopped to watch, wishing to grow 18-meter-long legs and have a close contact with the idol's "giant face".

Xie Yuxiao himself was wearing a peaked cap, toad glasses, a fat boy T-shirt and big pants, and flip-flops. When he passed by the advertisement, he was blown away by fans' rainbow farts and got goosebumps all over his body.

After getting into the car, he hurriedly dialed a number, "Brother Shen, why are you doing this? It's rare to come back, and you're still avoiding me?"

"Didn't hide? Then why don't you let me pick you up?"

The other party seemed to be boasting a few words, Xie Yuxiao laughed, "Of course I'm famous."

After a while, he said again: "Then will you come tonight?"

"That's good, that's good, let's have a drink tonight."

Luo Tanshen hung up the phone and was about to light a cigarette when he remembered that this was a prison and smoking was prohibited, so he had to put away the cigarette case and lighter.

"Luo Tanshen." The prison guard shouted in a rough voice, "It's your turn."

He stood up from the row of chairs, nodded to the prison guards, and walked into the visiting room.

Luo Yuncheng was wearing a prison uniform, sitting behind the isolation glass, looking older than the last time he saw him.

Luo Tan moved his chair away, sat down, and looked at Luo Yuncheng for a moment.

Luo Yuncheng looked away first.

"Is your body okay?" Luo Tan asked deeply.

Luo Yuncheng was silent, and nodded after a long time.

Luo Tanshen couldn't find anything else to say. Compared with the warmth of the prisoners and their relatives meeting each other, their cubicle looked extraordinarily indifferent, as if they were not father and son, but enemies.

But in fact, they just don't know what to say.

The visiting time was not long, and almost passed away in silence.When the prison guards came to clear the place, Luo Tanshen finally said, "Don't worry, I'm at home."

Luo Yuncheng looked at him with a complicated expression, there was disbelief in his eyes, but also despair and helplessness.

He smiled wryly, "I only believe what you and grandpa said before - I have the blood of the Luo family on my body. If that's the case, I will carry all that should be on my shoulders. At least, I am here, and the Luo family is here. "

Luo Yuncheng sighed, shook his head, his lips parted, as if he was saying something.

Luo Tanshen couldn't hear clearly.

After leaving the prison, the sun was shining brightly, and Luo Tanshen rested in the car for a while.

I haven't met Luo Yuncheng a few times in these years, but every time, my nerves are tense. Even today, Luo Yuncheng is already a prisoner, and the atmosphere of the meeting between father and son is still suffocating.

Rockwell's accident happened three years ago, but the root of the disaster has already been planted.

The old man of the Luo family relied on political standing to gain power back then, and this method was inherited by Luo Yuncheng.The old man is shrewd, Luo Yun Chengqing is better than blue because of blue, and has never made a wrong move.

Among the business dignitaries in Yuancheng, if the Ming family is the most "black", then the Luo family can be regarded as the most "white".

But no matter how shrewd Luo Yuncheng is, there are times when he is careless.The Luo family was prosperous in standing in line, but also declined in standing in line.The politician Fu Quping that Luo Yuncheng relied on fell from power, the Luo family was investigated, and all the old accounts of collusion with officials for decades were found out.

At that time, he had severed his father-son relationship with Luo Yuncheng for three years, and had been traveling abroad for three years. He was dragging the technology company he founded to move forward with difficulty, and he had no foundation in the country. He dared not be involved in the storm of Luo Shi , Even if you want to help, you are too busy to take care of yourself and can't do anything.

Last year, the company finally became profitable and gradually established itself in tech circles.

He is already in his thirties, and the sharp conflicts with his family when he was young have gradually been polished by the years.The estrangement still exists, but I have learned to accept and compromise.

The Rock's family is in decline. Without the confidence and strength of the wealthy family, everything that can be split has been sold. If no one takes over, the "Rock's" brand will disappear completely.

He weighed it over and over again, returned to China, and returned to Rockwell.

"I was quite surprised." Upon hearing the news, He Yuelin specially flew to his city and treated him to a meal, "But it's actually quite expected. In the past two years, I occasionally thought that you, the only heir, would No shot. I even flipped a coin."

As he spoke, He Yuelin stretched out his index finger and middle finger, "Twice. You know the front, and you don't know the back. In the end, it turned out once for the front and once for the back."

"You're so boring." He smiled and raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by 'quite unexpected' and 'expected'? Why are you contradicting what you're saying now?"

"You had such a fight with your father back then, and you swore not to set foot in Yuancheng. If I were you, I would never come back." He Yuelin became more mature after thirty, with a smile in his eyes all the time, "After all, we Very similar, many of your ideas coincide with mine."

He joked: "Who is like you? Don't put gold on your face."

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you in a hurry?" He Yuelin was not annoyed, "Although we are similar, we are different after all. Xiao Shen, you are weaker than me. But 'weakness' is not a derogatory term here, I mean, you Pretend to be as hard-hearted as me, but in fact there is still a softness in your heart. Luo Yuncheng is no longer worthy of being a father, and you still see yourself as the Luo family in your subconscious. If Luo’s is good, it’s good, but if it’s not good, you need help , you can’t just sit back and watch.”

He was a little uncomfortable being said, and after a while, he snorted, "I am for my brother. He is a very responsible person. For the sake of his family's career, he would rather give up the future he wants. Now that he is gone, if I don't care, the Luo family really..."

"That's why I said, you have your 'weakness'." He Yuelin added tea to the cup, "It's pretty good, if people really have no worries, it would be meaningless to live that day."

He stared at the slightly moving tea, the tea dangled in his eyes, and quickly calmed down.

He Yuelin's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he frowned, but his eyes were gentle.

He guessed who sent the message, and said with a smile: "Actually, you are not hard-hearted."

He Yuelin seemed to be still recollecting the message he just received, and was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

He waved his hand, too lazy to say any more.

Since he took over the mess of the Luo family, he has returned to the original city from time to time.He is unwilling to participate in many entertainments, but Xie Yuxiao's appointment really cannot be turned down.

Besides, he knew that Xie Yuxiao's appointment with him this time was to help him gain some network resources.

After all, Mrs. Xie's charity event, the current Luo family can't get tickets at all.

Xie Yuxiao was considered to be the first noble person he met besides He Yuelin after leaving the Luo family.

In its heyday, the Rock Group had businesses all over the place, and even had an entertainment company under its umbrella.

Xie Yuxiao, the youngest son of the Xie family, signed with this entertainment company.

Luo Tanshen had dealt with this "artist" before, so he was not familiar with it. At the beginning of his business, when funds were in short supply, he received an investment from Xie Yuxiao.

As a result, Xie Yuxiao became a shareholder of his company.

The young master's thoughts were a little naive, "Don't think I'm a star, I have ideals. In the future, if I make blockbuster science fiction movies, I might have to rely on you."

He was speechless, "I am a technology company, not a film special effects industry."

Xie Yuxiao didn't care so much, he was serious about starting a business with him.

When the Rock Group was spun off and sold, the entertainment company changed hands and was taken over by the Xie family.Xie Yuxiao's personality in the entertainment circle is "the proud son of heaven who knows nothing about trivial matters in the world", but in fact, growing up in a big family like the Xie family, Xie Yuxiao should have a lot of eyes, sometimes even more than Luo Tanshen could see clearly.

Luo Tanshen wanted to take over the Luo family, and he tried to persuade him, but he didn't persuade him, so he had to give up. This time, taking advantage of Mrs. Xie's charity event, and famous people would appreciate it, he got Luo Tanshen an invitation.

Luo Tan was deeply grateful in his heart, but when it came time to go, he felt a little embarrassed.

In the past, this kind of banquet was commonplace for him. He knew what clothes to wear, what to say, and even what kind of smile to put on.

However, he has been abroad for many years, and he does not need or have the conditions to participate in similar activities. He has long been unfamiliar with it, and he knows that it may be difficult to adapt to the scene for a while.

However, taking over Rockwell is different from starting a business in the technology industry. The latter is extremely hard work. It is not that he has slept in the laboratory with employees. The former seems to be much more glamorous, but there are only a few more difficulties.

Acting on every occasion, intrigues and deceptions, hypocrisy and obedience.

He finished a cigarette and looked in the rearview mirror.

The facial features of the man in the mirror are exquisite, the glamorous and frivolous youth was replaced by the settled maturity, the peach blossom eyes are no longer as bright as before, tactful and alluring, but more wise and firm, even the curvature at the end of the eyes is also Raised a little bit to remain calm.

He is no longer the young master of the Luo family who can do whatever he wants.

However, even the years are fond of beautiful women. He is 31 years old this year. He has lost the youthfulness of his twenties.

After being lost for a while, he pulled his thoughts back and looked at the invitation sent by Xie Yuxiao.

Since it is a charity event in Yuancheng, the guests must be from the Ming family.

Although the Ming family has changed, but because of that person, it did not collapse like the Luo family. Instead, it rose strongly and shined brilliantly.

Ming's headquarters is no longer in Yuancheng, but there are still people taking care of it symbolically.

I don't know who is representing the Ming family tonight.

After all, it won't be that person.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved and drove to the city.

Before going to the appointment, he took good care of himself according to the past rules.

Celebrities gathered at the charity banquet, Luo Tan combed his hair back not so neatly, and made a very low-key appearance.

In the past, he always played the leading role in various banquets, but now he is just an "upstart".

The "new rich" cannot steal the limelight from the protagonist.

However, it wasn't complicated for him to be courteous, and it didn't take long for him to discover that he could still handle communication on such occasions.

Xie Yuxiao was with Mrs. Xie, and he couldn't get away for the time being, so he was not in a hurry, and stayed alone, greeting people when they came, drinking wine and looking around when there was no one to talk to.

Soon, the arrival of one person shifted the focus of the entire charity event.

Some people even exclaimed in a low voice.

The person from the Ming family was not a representative of the Ming family, but Mr. Shan who hadn't appeared in Yuancheng for a long time.

The moment Luo Tanshen saw Shan Yufei, he almost lost his grip on the wine glass in his hand.
