Seeing that person, Chen Hai couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, if he hadn't called out his boss, Chen Haizhen would have regarded him as an unknown old man and ignored him.
"Xiangdong..." After looking up and down at the man carefully for a while, he tentatively spoke and confirmed.
"Boss, it's me!" Seeing that Chen Hai finally recognized him, Xiang Dong's voice was choked up, so he quickly spoke and responded.
"Just come out, come on, go inside, let's chat casually!" With a complicated look on his face, Chen Hai sighed and greeted.
Back then, when Xiangdong followed him, he was in his prime and was considered high-spirited.
Now, he is nearly sixty.
He entered the kiln in 1010 and had already been squatting in the bitter kiln for twelve years.
Unlike Tian Mingjian, Bai Xiaohang and others, Xiangdong is very average in terms of skill.
As his boss, Chen Hai suddenly disappeared. He had no background and no backing, and his own force was very limited. He must have been tortured a lot during these years in the bitter kiln.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have aged like this at all.
Xiangdong nodded and said nothing more.
He followed Chen Hai closely and entered the courtyard. Then, with a little restraint, he found a seat on the sofa and sat down.
"There are cigarettes in the TV cabinet. If you want to smoke, go get them yourself."
"They are all our brothers. When we are here, we treat them as our own family. Don't be polite to me."
"After I came back, I heard Xiaoyu talk about things in heaven and earth, and I knew you were sentenced to life!"
"I don't have any connections in politics and law. I don't know where you are being held. Otherwise, I would have gone to see you!"
"When did you come out? Why didn't you come to me earlier?"
Pointing to a few cigarettes placed on the TV cabinet, Chen Hai smiled and greeted Xiang Dong.
His words were not polite. In fact, he had always remembered what happened to Xiang Dong.
However, after returning from the Snowy Mountains of Hokkaido, he himself also had a dark look, and his relationship with Ye Qingqing was a bit awkward. He had no connections at the top, and he couldn't find a way to help Xiangdong.
He couldn't, he just used force to rob the prison, right?
This time, after the test of physical resistance to nuclear bombs is completed, he should have gained face in the eyes of the big guys above.
He originally thought that one day he would find an opportunity to send a message to his superiors and ask Xiang Dong to come out as soon as possible!
Now it seems that there is no need for him to do anything more.
"In matters of heaven and earth, I am indeed sentenced to life."
"In the bitter kiln, after several reduced sentences, according to normal procedures, it is estimated that I will have to squat for three to five years before I can get out."
"Three days ago, a certain leader found me and told me, boss, you are back!"
"Subsequently, I was released early and returned to Kyoto."
"In the past few days, I have been wandering around your yard, boss. Fortunately, I was lucky. I finally waited for you, boss, to come back!"
…
After hesitating for a moment, Xiangdong took a pack of cigarettes from the TV cabinet, opened it, took out one, lit it for himself, and took a long puff.
Amid the smoke, he sighed melancholy and explained to Chen Hai.
When he said this, Chen Hai immediately understood what was going on.
Xiangdonghui was released early because the people above were trying to show his good will.
"Just come out. Do you have any plans?"
"When I went to Hokkaido, you had enough food for one person and the whole family was not hungry."
"You should have been doing well in the years before you entered. Did you get married? Do you have a wife and children?"
Chen Hai nodded and asked with a smile.
"Back then, I did have several confidantes."
"But as soon as something happened to me, they all flew away for fear of having anything to do with me!"
"Heaven and earth, this is the property that you, boss, have entrusted to my care. I am useless and cannot keep it."
"Really speaking, in the first few years, although the development of heaven and earth was good, there were not many miscellaneous bad things."
"But later, many powerful people intervened, and things there were out of my control and completely changed."
"When the incident came to light, they stepped aside, but I, the puppet manager, took the blame and was sentenced to life."
"After staying in there for twelve years, I already have nothing. What plans can I have after I come out?"
"As long as you, boss, don't mind my age and are willing to take me in, I will still work hard for you..."
When Xiang Dong talks about his experiences back then, he is filled with bitterness.
When Chen Hai was around, he seemed carefree and didn't care about anything, but with him around, no one dared to make random decisions about the property in his name.
After he suddenly disappeared and there was no news from him.
Xiang Dong, who had been taking care of his business, just now realized how difficult it would be for him to do business properly without a big tree to protect him from the wind and rain.
"What I left behind is just a wasteland. How can there be any heaven and earth?"
"As for when others are fine, you are the only one who takes the blame. That's how the world is. No matter how capable you are, can you compare to the efforts of several generations of others?"
"Compared to Bai Baoshan, Bai Xiaohang and others, at least you are still alive!"
"If you have nowhere to go and want to do something for me, it's perfectly fine."
"As long as I'm here, I won't let you go hungry!"
After thinking for a while, Chen Hai nodded and promised.
He specifically searched the Internet for news reports on matters in heaven and earth.
This incident was a big deal back then.
Chen Hai didn't want to get involved in such a gray business, so if it was gone, it would be gone. He didn't feel bad at all.
The Xiang Dong in front of him was his old brother after all. Now that he has aged like this and looks so downtrodden, Chen Hai would not ignore it.
Seriously speaking, apart from his tendency to take eccentric and gray paths, Xiangdong is quite good at doing business!
Although Chen Hai is not short of money and has no intention of doing business, he still needs someone to take care of some of the company shares he holds.
Compared with those professional professional managers, Xiangdong may be inferior in terms of comprehensive abilities.
But in Chen Hai's eyes, Xiang Dong obviously gained his trust more.
"Dongzi, you are not young anymore."
"There are three ways to be unfilial. The worst is not having an heir. Now, you can still do a lot of trouble."
"When your life becomes stable, I won't say that you must get married. At least, you must have a wife!"
After chatting with Xiangdong for a while, Chen Hai got involved in this matter.
He himself doesn't want to have a wife because he can stay young forever, and he doesn't want a white-haired person to give birth to a black-haired person in the future.
As for his subordinates, he naturally felt that they should be treated like normal people and did not want to see them die alone.
For example, when his cousin Sun Jinzhong was in northern Myanmar, he looked like he was having an affair with Zhang Xia. Chen Hai looked at it and although he wanted to kick him, in the bottom of his heart, he still wished them well!
"Ordinary women can just play around. If you really want to get married and have children, you have to meet the right one!" Hehe laughed a few times and responded to Xiangdong.
When it comes to women, this guy puts all his strength into action, and he doesn't seem to be as old as before.
It is said that after three years in the bitter kiln, a sow competes with a Diao Chan.
He has been squatting there for more than ten years.
In the past few days since he came out, his thoughts were all on looking for Chen Hai. He didn't think much about that aspect at all.
But now, as soon as Chen Hai mentioned the matter of getting married and having children, even at this age, he felt like he was getting ready to make a move.
"You guy..."
Seeing Xiangdong's appearance, Chen Hai didn't know what he was thinking!
Chen Hai rolled his eyes at him angrily and scolded with a smile.
But he laughed and scolded, but he also knew that this was human nature and there was nothing to say.
At this moment, the doorbell at the courtyard gate suddenly rang.
"I just came back, who found me here?" Chen Hai frowned and muttered.
After saying hello to Xiangdong, he got up and walked towards the door outside.
