I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

Today is Sunday, a comfortable day for white-collar workers.

This is an era before the 996 blessing report has become a trend, at least for some companies... Many white-collar workers put down their work and wandered leisurely on the street. Many fashionably dressed girls walked into the clothing stores next to the street. Walking around, there are more and more cars on the road. Construction is going on in some places, and it seems that the streets are being widened. Someone at the top has realized that in the next few years, there will be more people and cars, so We have put the road expansion project ahead, but at this stage, traffic jams have become the norm... we have to endure it.

In a teahouse next to the street, guests at several tables were playing cards leisurely. There were several groups of guests coming to rest in twos and threes at the booths next to it. Only in one corner was there a middle-aged man who ordered a cup of black tea and meditated quietly. , seems out of place with the surrounding environment.

This middle-aged man is Hou Lin.

At this time, Hou Lin was using his fingers to move the cigarette box on the table. He gently pressed the cigarette box with his right index finger, and gently moved the four corners of the cigarette box with his other fingers, so that the cigarette box started spinning on the table. .

He looked really bored. After a while, he seemed to come to his senses. He stopped what he was doing, took out a cigarette, and lit it for himself.

It’s still the cheap Hongtashan cigarettes.

After taking a puff, he slowly exhaled a puff of mist, and then skillfully shook out the ashes. His nails were probably a little yellowed due to frequent smoking.

How should I talk to him?

All in all, I haven't seen Yi Yang's kid for a long time.

The last time I saw him was at Yi Hongyao's funeral. He was so young that Hou Lin wasn't sure he could still recognize Yi Yang.

He recalled the conversations he had with Yi Yang's second uncle, Yi San.

When Yi San described Yi Yang to Hou Lin, he naturally picked it up.

Hou Lin could naturally hear Yi San's overflowing pride from his mouth.

In Yi San's words, Yi Yang is a well-behaved, sensible, and mature child. Of course, rural people, especially rural people like Yi San who have not read much, are not necessarily very eloquent. When describing It's definitely not very vivid, or even concise. In addition, I'm a little nervous when describing it, so I can only say a few words.

Hou Lin listened patiently, and most of his impressions of Yi Yang were sketched out by his own imagination.

In his imagination, Yi Yang was probably a gentle boy wearing glasses. This was his external image. He also heard Yi San say that Yi Yang was very thin... He had a little misunderstanding here. As a parent, He felt that his child was too thin, and Yi Yang's well-proportioned figure seemed to Yi San to be malnourished and skinny, so in addition to being gentle and wearing glasses, he added a little height and thinness to form Hou. An initial image of Yi Yang in Lin Xin.

In terms of personality, according to Yi San, Yi Yang is a gentle person who doesn't like to talk very much. These factors add up to his final appearance.

Hou Lin thought that Yi Yang had been studying, and since he had lost his father and mother since he was young, his personality might have become somewhat withdrawn...

In fact, he had wanted to come to Yi Yang for a long time, but after Yi Hongyao's accident, the company had a lot of messes that needed to be cleaned up, and he had also been in debt for so many years, and he really couldn't spare the energy and time. It was learned that Yi Yang was taken care of by someone, so this matter has not been done since Yi Hongyao's funeral.

While I was thinking this, a question came from the bar not far away: "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Hou Lin."

Hou Lin's expression changed, and he looked over there, only to see a tall figure wearing a sportswear from behind.

It was Yi Yang.

At this time, the bar counter also pointed to Hou Lin's booth, so Yi Yang looked back in that direction, and happened to see Hou Lin looking here.

Yi Yang still has some impressions of Hou Lin.

Nature comes from the previous life.

The scene where they met in the previous life was completely different from this time.

Yi Yang vaguely remembered that in his previous life, probably around the first year of high school, he was at his most naughty at that time. He was studying in Qinghe No. 2 Middle School and often got into fights. Hou Lin took the initiative to find him.

At that time, Yi Yang didn't have a good impression of Hou Lin, who claimed to be his father's friend, and certainly not a bad impression... he just had no feelings. He was not excited when they met.

At that time, his impression of his father was far away, and he no longer cared about anything about him. It was really weird for someone to come to him and ask him to call him uncle.

At that time, my impression of Hou Lin was probably, "Oh, he is an uncle." That was it.

Of course, it was impossible to be so enthusiastic, and Yi Yang could still feel some of Hou Lin's sad emotions after learning about his current situation... This made him very unhappy at the time, because it stung his sensitive nerves, My thought at the time was, who do you think you are, who have the right to be sad about my life?

I vaguely remember that when Hou Lin came to me, he seemed to have mentioned something about the land and told me not to sign any agreement. Unfortunately, I was too young and illiterate at that time, so I didn't understand what he was talking about.

Later, Hou Lin came to see him several times, and each time he would give him some money or something. It was not until one day that Hou Lin never came again. Later, he received an obituary text message sent by Hou Lin's family and learned about this. Uncle Cheap went to another place to discuss a business, but he encountered a ferry crash and died.

Seeing his old friend again at this time, Yi Yang felt a little sad.

Yi Yang smiled, smiled at Hou Lin, waved, and walked over.

Hou Lin showed an unexpected expression, or to be precise, he was surprised.

On the one hand, I was surprised by Yi Yang's image... The image of Yi Yang that I had just constructed in my mind was basically completely overturned at this time. He doesn't have glasses, and he is not as thin as he imagined. The only thing that can be related to imagination is, Only high...but the height was a little higher than he thought.

On the other hand, the surprise came from Yi Yang's smile.

Naturally, Hou Lin recognized Yi Yang at a glance, because after all, Yi Yang looked very similar to his father. That feeling reminded Hou Lin of Yi Hongyao almost immediately.

However, Yi Yang had no reason to recognize him, so that smile was surprising. It was inconsistent with Yi Yang's withdrawn character in his mind.

Hou Lin has imagined many kinds of meeting scenes, and the most common scenes are: an introverted and nervous teenager, feeling awkward and unnatural when facing himself... just like all ordinary teenagers of this age face a stranger, and then in front of themselves. Under the guidance of , this formal meeting was completed...

But Yi Yang's smile was natural and generous, which could be said to be completely opposite to the imagined scene.

After a brief absence of concentration, Hou Lin returned to his normal demeanor and beckoned him to sit across from him.

Yi Yang sat opposite Hou Lin very calmly.

Hou Lin has been observing this eldest brother's only son since Yi Yang came over. Such a calm look reminded him of his eldest brother.

"What do you want to drink? Anything you want." Hou Lin slowly pushed the drink list over, without introducing himself as a prelude.

Yi Yang didn't look at the drink list and said calmly: "Just boiled water will do."

"Drink black tea." Hou Lin shook his head and said, "Your father liked to drink Jin Junmei the most when he was alive."

Yi Yang's expression moved slightly and he nodded: "Okay."

Hou Lin called the waiter and ordered a cup of Jin Jun Mei before returning his eyes to Yi Yang, but for a moment he didn't know what to say... When he and Lu Dingsheng were following Yi Hongyao, they would He has a stupid mouth and hasn't grown much over the years.

I didn't know how to say some of the things I had just thought about when facing Yi Yang.

Yi Yang was not in a hurry and sat there silently. Since the other party came to him, he could just wait patiently for the other party to speak.

After a pause, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere, Hou Lin said with a smile: "The last time I saw you, it was your third birthday. I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye."

Yi Yang smiled in agreement: "Time does fly by quickly."

Hou Lin took a deep look at Yi Yang and said, "I heard your second uncle said some things about you. You are very good. My elder brother's spirit in heaven will be very happy if he sees you now."

"Um……"

"If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Hou..."

Yi Yang thought for a moment and then said: "Well...Uncle Hou."

A smile appeared on Hou Lin's face, but he could also feel that Yi Yang didn't trust him very much.

But this feeling of distrust actually made him feel a little happy. This shows that Yi Yang is not the kind of child who is easily deceived. It is good to be innocent, but in this society, being defensive is indispensable. , it is a good thing to be alert and cautious at all times.

Hou Lin continued: "I came to you today because I want to tell you something."

Yi Yang nodded.

After a short pause, Hou Lin started to talk about the land, which was basically the same as what he told Yi San.

During this process, Hou Lin had been observing Yi Yang, but gradually he became a little surprised...

If someone tells you that you have a piece of land worth millions in a first-tier city, probably few people can stay calm. Not to mention a teenager, even an adult will jump up in surprise, but Yi Yang is After listening so calmly, Hou Lin suddenly had a ridiculous idea. Did he not understand what this meant?

Hou Lin didn't say anything about 5 million, so according to his idea, Yi Yang should jump with joy, or at worst, show a surprised expression.

But there was no trace of surprise on Yi Yang's face, and even after hearing this, the young man's brows furrowed slightly, he lowered his head and bit his finger gently, then took a sip of tea.

"In short, if someone from Lu Dingsheng comes to sign a contract with you, you must refuse." Hou Lin finished.

Yi Yang didn't answer and thought to himself for a while. The vague memories of the previous life and what Hou Lin said were slowly pieced together with the understanding of this life... Some questions were also solved. He looked up. He glanced at Hou Lin and asked a key question: "So... that land doesn't actually belong to me, right? At least for now, the land rights are in Lu Dingsheng's hands?"

Yi Yang's tone, demeanor, and speaking speed gave Hou Lin the illusion that the person sitting opposite him was not a young man, but a middle-aged man who had been mixed up in society for a long time. His expression became a little serious: "It's just temporary. We have a deal."

Yi Yang was silent for a while and asked, "Can you tell me how much money it will cost to get that land back?"

Hou Lin was silent for a while. Looking at Yi Yang's eyes, he sighed slowly: "5 million."

"Then I don't want it anymore." Yi Yang raised his head and suddenly showed a big smile.

Hou Lin's heart was shocked, and he became a little excited. He waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "No! This is the inheritance left to you by your father!"

Yi Yang shook his head and shrugged with a smile: "That's not the case anymore, and according to what you said, uncle, the current situation is that we want to find someone to take over, but we can't find anyone. If we can find a big boss, let him spend the money We bought the land at the market price of 7 to 8 million, and we use 5 million to pay off the debt, and we can make a little bit of the rest... But we can't find such a person, so why don't we just ask if we can get the land back? The amount of land depends entirely on Lu Dingsheng’s mood.”

Hou Lin said categorically: "If you are worried about money, don't worry, I will find a solution for money!"

Yi Yang continued to shake his head: "Uncle Hou... If what you said is true, I'm sorry, I know it may be rude to say this... Well, if what you said is true, then these two pieces of land actually came from the same place. From the beginning, you have been giving silently, and it actually has nothing to do with me..."

Hou Lin shook his head seriously: "No, you are wrong. If it weren't for the fact that you are the eldest brother's son, do you think Lu Dingsheng would have agreed to invest in the acquisition? He also did it for the sake of his eldest brother, but he He probably didn’t expect that later on, the value of the land began to appreciate, and he bought several abandoned factories nearby by chance. After the land was matured, the area became connected, and this pattern was formed.”

Hou Lin sighed: "It's just that his original intention back then has probably been wiped out with the current value of the two pieces of land."

Yi Yang can understand the logic.

Let's put it this way, now that Lu Dingsheng owns those two pieces of land, he can connect the area he bought. The development value of the entire land will increase by at least a few percent, so the value of those two pieces of land to him is far more than 500. Wan, in the face of huge interests, even if he can remember his old feelings, a company is often an interest group, and it is not just his company, and others may not agree.

Yi Yang shook his head and did not intend to continue this topic. According to Hou Lin, this matter is really not something he can control at the moment.

However, Yi Yang still didn't fully trust Hou Lin at this time. He took a sip of tea and changed the topic, "By the way, Uncle Hou, what kind of person is my father?"

"Brother?" Hou Lin looked reminiscing and smiled after a moment.

"Brother, he is the boldest business genius I have ever seen."

Yi Yang's heart moved and he asked again: "Can you tell me your story?"

Hou Lin laughed heartily, obviously very happy to talk about this topic. He took a puff of cigarette, let out a long sigh, and said: "When I met my eldest brother, I was still a bricklayer..."
