i'm not a bad man

Chapter 314 That Past Event [-]
Maybe it's because Chang Tianming's entrepreneurial history is something I have never come across in my life. It contains struggles, passion, changes, persistence, friendship, and even blood, so I unconsciously became fascinated. I forgot what time it was in the middle of the night. When I raised my head again, the dark night that had been silent for a long time had a faint smell of pre-dawn, revealing a sense of freshness, especially when a gust of wind blew over. It seems more intense.

Chang Tianming, who had also been silent for a long time, finally spoke at this time: "After Chang Chang's father went to serve his sentence, in the words of you young people, it was as if my life and Guan Yubo's father's life had ended. Not only did we make a lot of money in the mining industry, but we also happened to catch up with the golden development of real estate in the past ten years. We each developed many successful real estate projects and received many government projects. Gradually, we have developed a strong presence in the small town. We have established a firm foothold, but no one in this world will willingly succumb to others, not even brothers who have walked out of the same trench. So 15 years ago, Guan Yubo’s father and I split the company From then on, we started our own businesses... Because I was in charge before, many partners were more willing to recognize me as Chang Tianming. Gradually, I became known as the richest man in the town... Guan Yubo's father is not bad either. After all, he has a quick mind. Well, although he is slightly inferior to me in real estate and mining projects, he has found a new way to get involved in the tourism industry before me, and has done well. In name, I am the richest man in the town, but behind the scenes we all know that we are evenly matched opponents. ... Because it involved competing interests, our relationship gradually weakened, and we even competed with each other overtly and covertly, without caring about our previous friendship... Later, Chang Chang's father was released from prison. Originally, we could I took this opportunity to repair the tense relationship between us, but with the great changes in the world, we can never find the relationship we once had... After he was released from prison, Chang Chang's father found me and Guan Yubo's father. Although our relationship We are not on good terms, but we are all grateful to this brother in the past. We were too eager to repay, so we made a very stupid decision. On the day of the meal, we each gave him 100 million in cash, thinking that he could buy a He bought a house and used the remaining money to compensate Chang Chang's mother and son. However, he had been out of touch with this society for too long, and was stunned by the sudden wealth. He actually contracted the disease not long after he was released from prison. I got into the bad habit of gambling. Gambling in a small town was not enough, so I went to Macau and Southeast Asia to gamble. It didn’t take long before I lost all the 200 million. What was the concept of 200 million in those days? You can easily win at BJ’s Best To buy a house in a certain location, if measured by real estate, it would be 2000 million now... Although I was very disappointed, I couldn't let go of such a brother easily. I gave him a lot of money one after another. But without exception, everything was gambled by him. He was assigned a position in the company, but he was completely incompetent. Gradually, I lost patience with him. In addition, in 2008, the entire real estate industry was not The economy was booming, and I was also under great financial pressure, so after he came to me again and again to ask for money, my almost desperate mood for a person made me reach out and slap him hard... That's it. A slap completely destroyed the relationship between our brothers... After that, he never came to see me again, and I also felt like I was getting rid of a burden... It was already three years later when I heard from him again. He has liver cancer and only has the last few months left to live..."

At this point, Chang Tianming's eyes were already moist. He raised his head and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to let the nostalgic tears fall. After a long time, he spoke to me again: "That night, Guan Yu and I talked about him. Dad went to the hospital to see him. He was so thin that he was skinny and bones, and he was dying... But this man was very strong and refused to shed a tear in front of us. He smiled and said to us: "Lao Guan, Lao Chang, Do you still remember what we liked to brag about every time we were in the first mining area? ...Lao Chang said that if we make money in the future, we will definitely build a villa area under this mining area. The three of us brothers will live in a villa area and we will all have a taste of what it feels like to be rich. Lao Guan said, if you build a villa here, In a villa area, he will build the best hotel in a small town below the villa area. It will have baths, massages, singing, and a place for drinking. If our brothers get tired in the future, this is what we will do. A relaxing place where we drink and sing, and there are girls who give us massages... I don't have any ideals or ambitions. My biggest wish is that when you get rich, I can follow you and take advantage of it... I don't hate you, For a person like me who can't support the wall with mud, you have indeed tried your best. The only thing I regret is that I couldn't see you realize the awesomeness that the brothers boasted about... How can life be so good? How perfect it is. If it can’t be realized, it can’t be realized. I just hope that before I leave, you can finally agree to my request...take care of my son who is less important than me..."

At this point, I have completely understood the grievances and resentments between these people, and I can't help but have mixed feelings in my heart. It's like watching a movie with ups and downs of the plot, and my heart is full of aftertaste and thinking: Why did we fight together? Three people, Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo's father are already the top rich men in the small town, but Chang Chang's father has ended up like this?But he was obviously the one who sacrificed the most!
Destiny seems to have never been standardized, so apart from being full of regrets, I have no desire to comment. It seems that in such a story, I can see the foggy life a little more clearly.

With a sigh, I lowered my head and looked down, and could still vaguely see the lights of the villa area and the hotel; in the end, Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo's father still fulfilled the fantasy of the three of them in this way, but they failed. They can no longer piece together the incomplete relationship, and this relationship has continued to their next generation and has become even more worth mentioning; at least, I have never felt a trace of resentment in Guan Yubo and Chang Yuli. Chang Chang's concern, not to mention concern, not even attention, you can't say they are heartless because of this, it is indeed the previous generation who failed to maintain such a touching relationship...

But if such a relationship cannot be maintained well, is there any relationship in this world that can be absolutely trusted?
I fell into deep confusion.

Chang Tianming seemed to have become more emotional at this time. He put his hand on my shoulder and said to me in a slightly tired tone: "How can I suppress this paragraph in my heart for so long on such a night?" I feel a lot better after I speak out my thoughts... There is no point in judging right or wrong anymore. It is better to do the things in front of you... Tomorrow, help me contact Chang Chang and ask him to come to the scenic spot. Come to me, I want to have a good talk with him... In addition, you can also help me ask if you have really given up your gambling addiction recently..."

"Okay, Uncle Chang..." After a short pause, I said again: "If you want to ask more, do Guan Yubo and Yu Li know about the past between you?"

Chang Tianming had a look of shame on his face at first, and finally shook his head, indicating that they didn't know about this past.

People are always selfish. Even if they feel guilty, they don't want their next generation to bear the responsibility for them, because for Chang Yuli or Guan Yubo, offending Chang Chang is indeed a very troublesome thing!
……

It was almost three o'clock when I separated from Chang Tianming, but I still couldn't feel sleepy while lying on the bed, so I picked up my phone again; when I went to check the status of my circle of friends, I unexpectedly found that Chang Chang was at 5 He posted a message a few minutes ago, saying that this was his 39th day quitting gambling.

I simply called him and told him that Chang Tianming would meet with him tomorrow. Finally, I asked him another question. I asked him if he knew why his father sat down for 15 years in the first place. Years in prison.

He told me that his father was young and energetic, and cut off the man's hand after drinking and getting into a fight. His father didn't mention anything about Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo.

I felt even more panicked in my heart. It must be that his father didn’t want him to think that Guan Yubo, his father and Chang Tianming owed their family, so he deliberately concealed it...

At this time, I remembered my father's words. He told me more than once that those who can ultimately achieve success in this world are definitely not those who are kind-hearted. This seems to be reflected in Chang Tianming's past. verify.

In the darkness before dawn, I seemed to see a soul who devoted everything to his friends, wandering alone in this small town... He has been completely forgotten, and the only ones that everyone can see are Chang Tianming and Guan Yubo's father. Glory, and the incalculable wealth in their hands!
