Having said that, Jiang Jianmin lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"But now, it's my turn to be in this situation. I understand that the young man had no choice but to slay the dragon. The reason why I think ten steps ahead is not only to grasp and balance the power center, but also a kind of self-protection."
Jiang Cheng nodded in understanding.
It is said that the business world is like a battlefield, and one’s carelessness can lead to the destruction of one’s family and life.
What’s more, it’s a power struggle involving my own grandfather.
Since entering society after graduating from college, my grandfather has been overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles before gradually reaching the pinnacle of his life.
My grandfather walked this road for more than 40 years.
If we had taken even one wrong step during these forty years, we would never have been able to reach our current heights.
After reaching the peak, it took him nearly 25 years to maintain the honor of the Jiang family.
Over the past sixty years, if the Jiang family had not had strong minds and means, they would have probably fallen into decline long ago.
"Dad, you should do what fits your position. Don't feel any psychological burden. As you said just now, this is also a good thing for Uncle Qiu. It may be what he wished for." Jiang Cheng comforted him.
Jiang Jianmin nodded slightly, his eyes flickering as if hiding endless thoughts.
That complex emotion permeated his tone like smoke.
"Yes, maybe your Uncle Qiu feels the same as I do now... I still regard him as my best brother, but now, our brotherhood is mixed with other things. After we separated, your Uncle Qiu didn't look for me on purpose until now, when the incident happened, and he kept asking me for information from various sources."
My father has been away from the troubles for more than ten years.
It is not easy to remain calm when faced with so many things all of a sudden.
If he hadn't mentioned it to me today.
How could Jiang Cheng have imagined that beneath all the sorrow and cherishment shown by his father and Qiu Zheng when they reunited after a long separation, they actually had such a hidden calculation between them.
I could hear a hint of loss in my father's words.
Jiang Cheng comforted.
"Uncle Qiu wants to find a reliable backer for Qiu Yihe. He knows a lot about your past. He knows that if he takes the initiative to find you, you will definitely show up."
Jiang Jianmin took over the conversation, sighed, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"That's right. He knows I won't do anything to him. Instead, I will definitely help him. When your Uncle Qiu was fine, he still had his cousin to rely on. But now, he has become like this. If his cousin is gone, what else can he give Xiao He except a family of first-class heroes? If this continues, each generation will be worse than the previous one."
After a short silence, Jiang Cheng asked, "In that case, what kind of work do you plan to assign to Uncle Qiu?"
Jiang Jianmin thought for a while, then responded slowly.
"He is so good at flying. If he can't take the practical class, he can give some students theoretical lessons. Your grandfather will send someone to take care of him and help him 24 hours a day."
Jiang Cheng knew very well that Qiu Zheng was actually willing to accept this so-called "care".
After all, this was the decision he made to surrender to the Jiang family.
"What about Qiu Yihe?" Jiang Cheng asked immediately.
Jiang Jianmin just smiled slightly, and his words seemed to contain some deep meaning.
"Your grandfather meant to arrange a job for her in Kyoto, but she is too young and hasn't figured it out yet. Let her do what she wants for now. I'll give your Uncle Qiu a promotion first. His father has a high position, so it will be a help to her."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng did not intend to continue discussing this topic in depth.
After all, he knew his father too well.
The reason why Jiang Jianmin told this matter was simply because he wanted to find someone to talk to.
In fact, my father has always treated Qiu Zheng sincerely.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and enjoyed the fresh air in the garden.
He sighed: "Everyone says Kyoto has serious smog, but I think the air here is much fresher than that in Shanghai."
Jiang Jianmin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and spoke softly.
"This place is not ordinary. Its magnetic field is very special. If there are no specific road signs to guide you, it is very easy to get lost once you walk in. Moreover, if you walk a little further up, even the compass will stop working and all electronic equipment will be disturbed."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face flashed with surprise. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Is everything you said true?"
Jiang Jianmin nodded affirmatively.
"You must have heard of the Bermuda Triangle."
Jiang Cheng replied: "The Bermuda Triangle in the North Atlantic is a paradise for many explorers, but it is also a nightmare. It is said that few people can return safely."
"Well, there are many places in the world with abnormal magnetic fields. Bermuda Cape is one of them. There is also Shennongjia in our country. There is also a special magnetic field there. It is very easy to get into trouble. There is also a special magnetic field in Wawu Mountain in Sichuan, which is called "Bermuda of China". Although the magnetic field of this garden is not as strong as those, it is also suitable for living because of this."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked around with surprise.
No wonder it felt a little different from other places the last time I came here.
“I didn’t expect there would be a place like this in Kyoto.”
Jiang Jianmin took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and glanced at it casually, then said, "Oh, your mother sent a message saying that she is back, so let's go home quickly..."
Jiang Cheng nodded obediently, and then followed his father Jiang Jianmin towards another path down the mountain.
"Oh, by the way, there is a great place called Yuquan Mountain in Kyoto. When your mother is free one day, ask her to take you there to see it."
"Yuquan Mountain? This name sounds familiar."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was interested, Jiang Jianmin began to explain to him patiently.
"Yes, this Yuquan Mountain is not simple. It is one of the famous forbidden areas in Kyoto. In this mountain, many very important historical relics are preserved. If you want to learn more about the long history and culture of our Chinese nation, it is definitely a good choice to visit there. Moreover, the scenery is also good."
After listening to this, Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully, "This is the first time I've heard of such a place as a forbidden area."
"Yes, that place is inaccessible to ordinary people. I lived there when I was a child, and later moved here. It is not only a Feng Shui treasure land in Kyoto, but also the royal palace during the Liao and Jin dynasties. After going through several dynasties, it is still a royal garden with 16 garden landscapes built inside. Emperor Qianlong even named the mountain spring water inside as 'the best spring in the world'."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng said with a hint of anticipation: "Then I must take some time to appreciate this legendary spring water!"
Although the way down the mountain was relatively easy, Jiang Jianmin was still slightly out of breath due to his long-term lack of exercise.
He took a breath and continued, "If you want to see spring water, you will be greatly disappointed. I remember when I was a child, most of the springs on Yuquan Mountain were still flowing with clear and sweet spring water. But now, with the rapid drop in the underground water level in Kyoto, many springs have dried up..."
"what?……"
"I've only heard about it, I haven't been there, but the water flow is very low, not as good as before. I heard that the water level has risen a lot in recent years due to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and it should be able to recover in a few years."
Jiang Cheng supported Jiang Jianmin and said, "That place is so good, why do you want to move?"
Jiang Jianmin laughed: "Silly boy, your grandfather has retired and is in good health. Wouldn't it be good for him to move here to retire? This place is no less than that place. That area is now the residence of senior officials and a military stronghold. Why should we go in?"
Jiang Cheng understood Jiang Jianmin's words immediately.
In there, my grandfather at home would probably be in the same state as Qiu Zheng is now.
......
Jiang Cheng didn't go out for two consecutive days.
I have been at home accompanying my two grandfathers to buy New Year’s goods.
There is a big difference between the New Year goods in Kyoto and those in Chengdu.
There are not only a variety of pastries, such as ox tongue biscuits, hawthorn pot cakes and so on.
There are even some menu items such as braised beef and pork elbow in soy sauce.
There are many kinds of preserved fruits.
It can be said that before the New Year was over, Jiang Cheng's two grandfathers had already fed him a stomach full of New Year's goods.
As night falls and the lights come on.
Jiang Cheng drove the Dark Night Sound in a high-profile manner towards the dance academy.
Before, my father always instilled in me the idea of keeping a low profile.
But after these few days, under the double doting of his two grandfathers, Jiang Cheng had already forgotten what the word "low-key" meant.
After a short while, the speeding sports car quickly arrived at its destination - the dance academy.
Jiang Churan's rehearsal schedule during this period was extremely tight. Every day he felt like he was wound up like a clockwork and he dared not stop for even a moment.
She could only spare an hour or so for dinner to meet Jiang Cheng.
The car slowly stopped at the back gate of the school.
Seeing Jiang Cheng getting out of the car.
Jiang Churan's heart couldn't help but beat fast.
She stretched out her hand shyly and gently held Jiang Cheng's arm.
She raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Cheng with a pair of big watery eyes.
He asked softly, "Um... can you eat spicy hot pot or something like that?"
Jiang Cheng nodded naturally: "Why not? You danced for a long time today, and you look very tired."
Jiang Churan was wearing a loose and comfortable training suit with a thin jacket casually draped over it.
Her originally silky, soft and shiny hair was now hastily tied up into a cute round bun.
To be honest, this outfit might not look good on a different face.
But for Jiang Churan, who is naturally beautiful, it has a unique charm.
I can only agree with that saying: If you are good-looking you can be willful!
Jiang Churan let out a long sigh, then said softly to Jiang Cheng, "Yes, I got up at eight in the morning and started practicing. I have been practicing until now, and I only took a one-hour break at noon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Churan suddenly stopped.
She turned around, her beautiful eyes stared at Jiang Cheng sincerely, and said word by word: "Thank you very much, Jiang Cheng."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng tilted his head slightly, somewhat confused.
Seeing Jiang Cheng looking at him with a puzzled look on his face, Jiang Churan smiled and replied, "Teacher Gao has already told me that our program was still pending, but because of you, it is now confirmed. Thank you."
The Spring Festival is approaching, and I thought there would be only a few students in the dance academy at this time.
But surprisingly, the campus was still bustling with people coming and going.
People were hurrying about, carrying dance bags on their backs to the rehearsal studio, or gathering in groups of two or three to discuss upcoming holiday plans.
When they stopped like this, the students passing by couldn't help but look at them twice.
Jiang Churan is quite famous in the dance academy.
She not only has snow-white skin and a beautiful face.
Her superb dancing skills are even more amazing.
Therefore, she became the object of envy of many students.
Although in the dance world, you can’t rely on looks alone to succeed.
Just like those students studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Many times, students who have beautiful faces in school.
When you really step into society, you may not be as outstanding as those classmates in the same grade who have average looks but outstanding abilities.
However, being able to possess both a stunning appearance and solid basic skills is undoubtedly a solid step towards success.
I saw Jiang Churan taking the initiative to hold the arm of a handsome guy.
Although everyone is used to this phenomenon, they still can't help whispering and taking a few more glances.
Seeing that Jiang Churan attached so much importance to a background wall that lasted for a few minutes.
Jiang Cheng immediately put away his previous cynical and nonchalant expression, and instead revealed a look of sincerity and concern.
He raised his hand, gently stroked Jiang Churan's head, and said slowly: "Why thank you? If you want, I can arrange a better opportunity for you."
Hearing this, Jiang Churan shook his head repeatedly without hesitation and responded softly, "That's great. This is my first time performing on TV. If you arrange a particularly prominent stage for me, I think I will be under a lot of pressure and I'm afraid I won't dance well. This kind of opportunity to dance in the back and practice my stage presence is just right. I'm already very satisfied."
Resisting the urge to kiss her outside, Jiang Cheng reached out and touched Jiang Churan's hair.
"Okay, thank you enough for now. Let's go. Time is running out. Eat quickly."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, a sweet smile suddenly bloomed on Jiang Churan's pretty face.
After arriving at the small spicy hot pot shop on the side of the road, Jiang Cheng noticed at a glance that Xu Yan was also there.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng was still a little wary of Xu Yan.
After all, the bestie test just happened a few days ago.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng found that he really seemed to be unable to control himself.
After all, Jiang Churan hasn't really been conquered yet.
