Chapter 396 He has an instinct (Happy National Day)
The hospital corridors are clean and bright.
But when it fell on Hu Ningtian's eyes, they looked extremely cold.
He looked around in a panic and moved forward. When he reached a ward, his movement of pushing the door handle instinctively stopped.
It wasn't until three seconds of forced adjustment that he stepped in.
As soon as he entered, he saw a sickly old man with white hair, lying on the hospital bed, smiling at him.
The old man laughed, but Hu Ningtian wanted to cry.
He quickly walked to the bedside in three steps and two steps at a time, squatted on the spot and grabbed the guardrail beside the bed, and softly shouted with a hint of tears: "Grandpa, you are scaring me to death!"< br>
When the old man heard this, he first waved his hand to the nurses in the ward and motioned for them to go out.
Then he stretched out his hand to rub Hu Ningtian's head and joked: "I know my body will not die for a while, but it will only last a few years.
You, you have been pretty since you were a child, like a girl, but now you look more like a whimpering person. How can you intimidate your opponents? ”
This comfort made Hu Ningtian's tears immediately fall. He turned his head, wiped it quickly, and then said: "I will inform Weiwei to come over."
"Don't inform her. What's the use of her coming here? There are doctors and nurses here, so she doesn't need to take care of me." Mr. Hu stretched out his hand to stop me.
After stopping him, the old man propped up his hands and said to Hu Ningtian: "Help me sit up."
"Grandpa, why don't you lie down?"
"My chest feels tight when I lie down." The old man shook his head. People with heart problems can easily become breathless while lying down.
Hu Ningtian originally knew this, but he was still a little panicked at this time.
As soon as the old man said this, he finally came to his senses and quickly raised the head of the bed with the remote control.
After rising, the old man sat down, looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "I have been paying attention to someone recently."
"Who is it?" Hu Ningtian stood up and asked casually while pouring hot water for his grandfather.
"Do you know Xu Xiyu?"
Hearing this name, Hu Ningtian stopped pouring water: "I know you, what's wrong with him?"
"He and Weiwei are quite close. When we were in Guangzhou a year ago, Weiwei dressed up for more than three hours before meeting him. This is the first time I saw her like this." As the old man spoke, he also brought A hint of teasing tone.
But as soon as he said these words, Hu Ningtian felt the veins on his forehead begin to throb.
After bringing the water and placing it on the small table set up in front of the old man, he immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will control this girl."
Hearing this, the old man glanced at him and did not reply to the question.
Instead, he picked up the water and blew it while saying: "If I remember correctly, Xu Xiyu's girlfriend named Ke Xinying is your matchmaker?"
"Grandpa, your investigation is quite clear." Hu Ningtian replied with a smile, and at the same time he began to think quickly about the old man's intentions.
Not many people know that he acted as a matchmaker for Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu.
And it’s been a long time.
My grandfather knew that he must have really gotten to know Xu Xiyu in depth.
But why does grandpa want to know more about him?
Just because he and his sister are close?
While he was thinking about it, the old man put down the water glass and sighed again: "Ning Tian, have you visited your parents' graves recently?"
"I went last month, and I also went to grandma and uncle's place." Hu Ningtian said this with a bit of sadness in his tone.
Hearing this, the old man nodded and said nothing more, with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
After thinking about it for a while, he sighed and said: "Back then, your great-grandfather gave birth to seven of our brothers and sisters. I was the only one who survived, and the others all died on the battlefield.
I was also injured, and your grandmother and I suffered a lot before giving birth to your father and your uncle. Unfortunately, I may have used up all our family's luck.
Your uncle got sick at a young age and passed away without even leaving a son. Your parents were in their prime, when they should have been able to support our family, they also suffered an accident..."
"Grandpa, is this really an accident?!" Hu Ningtian suddenly became excited when he mentioned this.
"It was an accident." The old man glanced at him, his eyes and tone extremely calm.
When Hu Ningtian heard this, he clenched his teeth and breathed heavily. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Seeing that his eyes were red, the old man rubbed his head again and said: "Ning Tian, grandpa can't survive for a few more years, and my old brothers can't survive for a few more years either."
"Grandpa, don't say that. The fortune teller said that you will live a long life." Hu Ningtian took the opportunity to hold the old man's hand and said.
The old man smiled and said: "Nonsense. Grandpa is a staunch materialist. What kind of fortune teller dares to shorten my life?"
"Hahaha." Hu Ningtian laughed deliberately when he heard this. He just wanted to make his grandfather happy.
Seeing him smile, the old man said again: "Thank you for your hard work these past few years, supporting the whole family by yourself."
"It's not hard, it should be." Hu Ningtian shook his head.
"Should I put it aside for now? There is a truth that you should understand. The most important thing in a family is the people. Without people, everything is in vain. If your uncle and your father were still here, our family would not be what it is today."
"Grandpa, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will get married as soon as possible." Hu Ningtian was no longer stubborn now, and Mr. Hu almost died this time.
He didn't want his grandfather to leave before he saw him get married and have children. What a regret it must be?
"Your marriage is one thing. As for Weiwei, I know you want to protect her and make her worry-free, but is this possible? There are only two of you in our family. If you exclude her, this is not the way to run a family. .”
"But she is still studying, and the family property is handed over to her. She can't master it for a while. Now we are racing against time, and I don't have time for her to practice in key positions." Hu Ningtian said this with some helplessness.
There was a big age difference between him and Hu Ningwei. If they were two or three years apart like other siblings, it would be easy to say that they all grew up at the same pace.
It just so happened that they were more than ten years apart, so they couldn't cooperate at all.
Thinking of this, he was about to promise his grandfather again and arrange more careers for Hu Ningwei.
But I heard Mr. Hu frown and say: "Do you know the reason for our success?"
"I know, you often tell me that it's because you stand with the people."
"Ning Tian, you and Weiwei have separated from the masses!" When Mr. Hu said this, his tone was quite serious. But Hu Ningtian really couldn't understand, what is this?
"There has been a generation skip in our family, and your parents died before they could plant trees. So now you can only take advantage of me, but I am also running out of gas.
How many people are waiting to take a knife from me so that they can go back and add more firewood to their homes. Ning Tian, you have to stick to your foundation, you can’t do more, and besides, you are not that material.
Therefore, you have to let your sister stand among the masses and plant a tree for our family. Not only the masses in the country, but also the masses in the entire world. Do you understand? ”
The old man lowered his voice and looked serious.
And Hu Ningtian was not a fool, he naturally understood what the old man meant.
So, he said in surprise: "Grandpa, do you want Weiwei to be a public figure? Does it have to be internationally famous?"
"Yes." The old man nodded affirmatively.
"No, grandpa, even if she becomes an international superstar, how much money can she make? What's more, our country can't produce international superstars." Hu Ningtian really couldn't understand.
"I heard that you are currently looking for someone to translate "The Three-Body Problem" written by Xu Xiyu?" Mr. Hu changed the subject.
"Uh...right." Hu Ningtian was a little confused by this topic.
"There is a line in it that impressed me deeply."
"Did you read it too?"
"Look, Ning Tian, you have to think more." The old man said to Hu Ningtian.
When Hu Ningtian heard these words from Zhang Beihai's father, he was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils instantly dilated.
He said to Mr. Hu in disbelief: "Grandpa, it's not that serious. Isn't it to that extent?"
"It's definitely not to that point, but you have to have a long-term vision in doing things. What if? If Weiwei can gain a certain reputation internationally and have a channel to speak out, there will be room for change in some things, and some people will I will have some scruples." The old man sighed.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Hu Ningtian to answer, he continued: "Just those policy industries of Zhonghui make money, but what irreplaceability do you have in it?
Someone else may not do worse than you, and may even do better than you. How many people stare at this piece of fat because it is easy enough to eat.
The right to speak in culture and public opinion in the international arena is our weakness. You have to be able to do this extra thing well on the existing basis, so that the value that is different between you and others can be reflected.
Only in this way will anyone be willing to keep you and the property our family has after I die. As the same saying goes, our family has changed generations. I am too old and you are too young. ”
"Grandpa, can you not die one by one?" Hu Ningtian couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that his emotions were about to collapse.
"Don't be pretentious, I'm talking to you about business. Over the years, I've discovered a problem. You don't have the ability to promote culture and public opinion. Huiwen is just a financial tool in your hands."
"I..." Hu Ningtian choked at this sudden criticism.
"But you are lucky. It should be said that Weiwei is lucky and has found a treasure."
"You mean Xu Xiyu?" Hu Ningtian said with an incredulous expression.
"Originally I wasn't sure, but this time he actually gave me a surprise. He took out a copy of "Infernal Affairs" and played a lot of tricks. When he finished playing, all the artists in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang were forced to do it for him. Live.”
"Where did you help him?" Hu Ningtian asked doubtfully.
"Who is signing his hundred guitars?" Mr. Hu asked.
"Is this something extraordinary?" Hu Ningtian was really puzzled. If he wanted to do this, he could do it with just one sentence.
"This is quite an amazing ability. If you think about it, he can quickly occupy the commanding heights of public opinion in a relatively unfamiliar market without relying on power, just like the great cause of reviving Cantonese songs this time.
At the same time, he can also rely on this commanding height to force others to implement his ideas. This is his strongest point. All creative talents are auxiliary, this ability is his core.
Maybe he didn't realize this himself, because I think this is innate and an instinct. It is difficult for people to pay attention to their own instincts. "After Mr. Hu said this, he admired Xu Xiyu even more.
Hu Ningtian also fell into thinking after hearing these words.
After he finished thinking about it, he realized that just like his grandfather said, Xu Xiyu could accurately stand on the commanding heights of public opinion every time.
Thinking of this, he blinked his eyes and said: "So, grandpa, do you mean to let him help me manage Huiwen Investment?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu slapped Hu Ningtian on the head.
He hated him and said: "Rotten wood cannot be carved. What I mean is that since Weiwei likes him, let him be my grandson-in-law. I think he is the only one who has the ability to lift Weiwei up.
He can occupy the commanding heights of public opinion in Hong Kong today, achieve the same goal in Taiwan tomorrow, and repeat his same tactics in South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States the day after tomorrow.
What you have to do is to deliver nutrients to him from the Zhonghui side so that he can plant another tree as soon as possible. If he is attached to Hui Wentou, one day this line will be strangled, and you will all die. ”
"No... this... no, no, no... Grandpa, this... this, this, this... you must not do it!!" Hu Ningtian was anxious, what is this, why did the conversation end here? !
"Why not?"
"Weiwei doesn't like him, so you can't force him to marry him!"
"I like it, absolutely like it. Who are you as Weiwei's new bodyguards and personal assistants? They have analyzed it for me."
"..." These words made Hu Ningtian choke.
He choked for a while, then he found another reason and said: "That's not okay, he... he, he, he, he is very carefree, there are a lot of women!"
"When will you get rid of this problem of yours? You stutter when you are anxious, and you can't even say Yu Yuyu's name." The old man began to complain.
"Grandpa, don't change the subject, he really has many girlfriends!" Hu Ningtian said word by word.
"I know about this, aren't they Lu Qinyao, Ke Xinying, and Yang Xueqing? Maybe there is an ex-girlfriend named Lu Jiu, and someone named Li Shanling."
"Grandpa, your investigation is really clear." When Hu Ningtian heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But he quickly changed the topic and said: "You know he has so many girlfriends, why do you want to do this?"
"Think about it, even an old girl like Lu Qinyao treated her like a treasure after they broke up. One day she helps someone open a company, and the next day she finds someone to help her win an award. It shows that he is a very emotional and nostalgic person.
Isn't this good? If he is the kind of Chen Shimei who keeps abandoning his old love after he succeeds, how dare I let Weiwei have contact with him? "The old man said matter-of-factly.
"???" Hu Ningtian was dumbfounded.
etc.
Is this the logic?
