    Chapter 43 Interlude

    Tongzhou played for a long time when he was young. For a few years, the black and white were almost reversed, and the night was the happiest time.

    Therefore, in his consistent understanding, the time in the early morning is more ambiguous and subtle than the middle of the night.

    Business can talk about being drunk late at night, and friends can hang out until the early morning, but only those who are with you in the early morning are the only people who are different.

    Not to mention this time, tsk.

    Tong Zhou went to the winery to check the progress in the past two days. He realized that he didn't sleep well and woke up before dawn. He drove out for a circle and came back, and found that although it was still far from being on the right track, The decoration has been done long ago, and it is no problem for friends to come and play, so called Ren Zhaoyuan immediately.

    When called, didn't realize it was early, and only paid attention to the time when heard the phrase "so early" on the phone.

    six thirty.

    Listen to this in bed.

    Gee.

    "I'll hang up if you don't speak any more."

    "Cough," Tongzhou tried his best to suppress his gossip mentality, so as not to embarrass the kid Ren Zhaoyuan, "it's nothing major, I want to ask if you have time these two days, come to my winery to gather, Zheng He recently It seems to have been idle in S City, Brother Yao has nothing to do during this time."

    "Okay, let's see their time."

    "Then the day after tomorrow, by the way, ask your little friend if you have time to lead us with you."

    Ren Zhaoyuan smiled: "Well, I'll ask him."

    Tan Zheng's eyes were stunned when he heard it, Ren Zhaoyuan took his mobile phone and poke a hole in his face, and laughed at him: "Do you have time, kid?"

    ——

    Tongzhou’s winery is not in this province, but it took over an abandoned winery to re-expand its operations. Although it sounds like a big project, it saves a lot of energy compared to starting from scratch.

    It would be appropriate to say that there is no need to shop around.

    The climate here is suitable for growing wine grapes, water conservancy and electricity transportation are very convenient, and there is a large windbreak forest that was planted in the past.

    Not too far from the seaside, Tongzhou intends to focus on tourism functions, and specially bought the right to use a large piece of land between the winery and the seaside.

    The grapes have not yet been planted, but various brewing equipment has been purchased, and a lot of wine storage has been purchased. At first glance, it looks like it.

    Yao Qiming said that the winery in Tongzhou should not be brewed by itself. It would take a lot of effort. Instead, it is better to plant some grapes and pretend to enter directly from the outside, making it a resort area under the guise of a winery.

    Tong Zhou glared at him: "then why did I come here specifically to draw a picture, 100 million smashed in to hear the sound?"

    "Who knows what you are drawing."

    The area of ​​the winery is not particularly large, and it is incomparable with the famous ones at home and abroad, but it is better in its complete functions and ingenuity.

    A few people walked through the street living area built in the style of an ancient town, and continued to walk to the other side, and the style gradually moved closer to the European style. The main building is the appearance of a European style castle, and it contains guest rooms, restaurants and some entertainment venues.

    Tong Zhou was talking about going for a wine and essential oil massage together, and Zheng He called Ren Zhaoyuan and asked where they were.

    Ren Zhaoyuan directly turned on the phone and asked Tong Zhou to speak.

    "See those three lightning rods? Just drive in this direction."

    As soon as Zheng He arrived, Yao Qiming hugged him with one arm: "It's okay, look at these couples, I'm the only one who jumped."

    Tongzhou said "hey": "you hide your sister-in-law and don't take it outside, but you can't blame us."

    "A bunch of rough old men have no fun together. She might as well go shopping with friends."

    Zhao Chen was so busy that he didn't have time to come over, so the six of them walked around the winery from the high-level observation deck to the lower wine cellar.

    During the meal, Tan Zheng thought that Ren Zhaoyuan rarely came out to meet with friends and didn't say anything, but Ren Zhaoyuan pushed the wine by himself.

    Tongzhou is not happy: "Aren't you coming to the winery to drink?"

    "I'll drink it when my own wine is brewed here."

    Yao Qiming happily bowed to the fire: "Look, Zhaoyuan is disgusted."

    "My collection!" Tong Zhou put the wine glass directly in front of Ren Zhaoyuan, "I dislike this wine, there is no good wine in the world."

    "I know your wine is good," Ren Zhaoyuan said, "I'll change to a lower alcohol one. I have a bad stomach, so I have to control it strictly."

    Tong Zhou couldn't hold back, and turned his voice into a foul language: "Is it different when it comes to this little love? I'm afraid the love is not to show our faces."

    Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and didn't speak. Tong Zhou's firepower immediately turned to Tan Zheng next to him: "If he can't drink, then you should go all out."

    Tan Zheng agreed: "Well, I'll drink it."

    He didn't plan to drink less.

    After all, it was the first time sat with them as Ren Zhaoyuan's boyfriend, and at least they had to be respected next to each other.

    Since Tongzhou came down next to each other, all had to be called brother.

    Ren Zhaoyuan only ordered food for Tan Zheng from time to time, no matter how much he drank, and did not stop Tong Zhou and the others to persuade him to drink.

    In the middle of the journey, Zheng He went out to answer a phone call, but he didn't participate in the chat for a while when he came back.

    "Why are you," Yao Qiming kicked Zheng He's chair leg, "look at Zhaoyuan at a glance, face to face?"

    Ren Zhaoyuan didn't pay attention, and he looked at Zheng He when he heard Yao Qiming say this.

    Zheng He hesitated for two seconds and said to Ren Zhaoyuan, "I have something I want to ask you."

    He really didn't need to ask other people things very often. Usually, everyone's news came from him.

    Yao Qiming became curious: "What's the matter, you have to ask Zhaoyuan if you can't find out?"

    Ren Zhaoyuan also asked, "What's the matter?"

    "Do you know much about Xie Rong?"

    "Xie Rong?" Tong Zhou passed the name in his mind, and then scolded, "Isn't that the one who calculated Ji Zhaoyuan some time ago? You didn't say that he disappeared after being beaten by Zhao Yuanqing into the hospital for half a month, and he again Do something?"

    "No, I want to ask about the past, all aspects, especially when I was a child."

    "I don't have much contact with him. He has been working under Zhao Yuanqing's father," Ren Zhaoyuan said. "It seems that Xie Rong was rescued by Zhao Yuanqing's father when he was a child. After that, the tuition and living expenses were financed by the Zhao family. After graduation, he joined the Zhao family. company of."

    "Saved? Do you know what exactly happened, or when?"

    "It's not clear."

    Tong Zhou couldn't hold back and wanted to ask further, Xing Yi saw that Zheng He seemed to have something important next to him, and touched Tong Zhou under the table, motioning him not to speak in a hurry.

    "It's okay to have a rough range."

    Ren Zhaoyuan thought for a while: "Before junior high school at the latest, I remember hearing from his mother once that the Zhao family arranged for Xie Rong to transfer schools during junior high school."

    Zheng He was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "That's right."

    "What's the situation?" Yao Qiming didn't hear one, two or three, "What are you asking about that thing?"

    "I should have told you that my little dad used to have a son."

    Zheng He has two fathers. The father who adopted him since he was a child is called Dad, and the father who later married his father is called Xiao Dad.

    It was for the sake of distinction, and also because the younger father was much younger than his father, and he was only ten years older than Zheng He.

    His father had never been married before, and his younger father had been married once and then divorced. He originally had a biological son.

    Tongzhou said "ah": "It's not because of the mudslide..."

    "Well, I couldn't find it after searching for a few days. There was a second mudslide, and I thought it was buried at the bottom."

    Zheng He took out his mobile phone and posted a photo in the group: "I was afraid that Xie Rong would have a backer, so I checked him. My little dad accidentally saw the photo in it two days ago, and he said it was his son. grown up."

    Several people took out their mobile phones to look at the comparison photos, and Ren Zhaoyuan pulled Tan Zheng into the chat group.

    Not exactly the same, but they are.

    Zheng He threw the phone on the table: "I asked someone to compare the photos, and they said that the probability of it being the same person is more than 75%, but Xie Rong hasn't shown up again recently, and I can't find anyone."

    At first, didn't think much about it, and people pretended to be Xie Rong's friend and went directly to Zhao Yuanqing's father's company to find someone. didn't expect to ask any clues, and then faintly realized that Xie Rong was not going well.

    His little dad was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep well. The old man came forward to find Zhao Yuanqing's dad, but the other party said that Xie Rong was just a former employee of the company and had already left.

    Just now, his subordinates called and said that the new line was broken again. It was the Zhao family who followed them before they found out.

    The easiest way is for Ren Zhaoyuan to ask Zhao Yuanqing.

    The Zhao family absolutely knew where Xie Rong was. The person Xie Rong had met before disappearing was Zhao Yuanqing.

    Moreover, Zhao Yuanqing was ashamed of Ren Zhaoyuan.

    But we all know that the last person Ren Zhaoyuan wants to have an intersection with is Zhao Yuanqing.

    For Ren Zhaoyuan, personal disgust is nothing compared to helping a father find a child: "I'll call and ask Zhao Yuanqing."

    All Zhao Yuanqing's contact information has long been deleted and blocked. Later, as many unfamiliar numbers and text messages as trust Zhaoyuan, the number is blocked.

    It wasn't in the address book, but the numbers I'd remembered for many years were still in my head.

    Ren Zhaoyuan called up the dial key to enter the number, clicked on the speakerphone, and was picked up with just one ring.

    The surprise and joy in Zhao Yuanqing's voice overflowed: "Zhaoyuan? Hello, is that you Zhaoyuan?"

    "it's me."

    The few sentences Zhao Yuanqing said one after another were almost incompatible, and there was a faint cry in the laughter.

    Ren Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes and waited for a brief silence in the speaker before continuing to speak, his voice did not fluctuate: "I have something I want to ask you for help."

    The other side was quiet for a while and asked, "What about Xie Rong?"

    Zheng He suddenly looked up at Ren Zhaoyuan, and Ren Zhaoyuan nodded lightly, signaling him not to worry.

    "you know."

    Zhao Yuanqing seemed to have opened a can of beer: "Zheng He is about to turn S City over. I don't know."

    "Well, I want to meet Xie Rong."

    "I'm at home, you come back, I'll take you to find him."

    Ren Zhaoyuan still didn't fluctuate, and only said: "If you don't want to help, then forget it, goodbye."

    Zhao Yuanqing hurriedly called Ren Zhaoyuan, and saw that he didn't hang up before returning to normal: "I don't know where he is either, he left the hospital after leaving the hospital, why did you spend so much time looking for him? He designed you again. ?"

    Zheng He sent a message to the group, and Tan Zheng showed Ren Zhaoyuan the group chat interface of his mobile phone.

    Ren Zhaoyuan glanced at it and said directly: "He looks very similar to the child Zheng He's father lost before. We want to confirm whether it is."

    "You suspect that he is Zheng He's brother?"

    Even if Xie Rong is the child of Zheng He's little father, he is not related to Zheng He by blood, but there is no need to explain more.

    "right."

    "I'll help you find it."

    Zheng He sent another message to the group.

    "He didn't buy air tickets or train tickets, and Zheng He was caught when he was looking for him recently," Ren Zhaoyuan paused for a while, but no one noticed except Tan Zheng, "your father's men followed him, we guess he is still in S city. "

    "You mean, my dad knows where he is?"

    "Probably."

    "Okay, I'll check, you wait for my news."

    "thanks."

    "Don't thank me," Zhao Yuanqing said, "I can do anything for you."

    Ren Zhaoyuan's expression showed a slight strangeness. Seeing Zheng He's new message in the group, he said, "Can I ask when Xie Rong was rescued by your father?"

    "I don't know, he never lived at home."

    "What happened at that time, did your father say anything?"

    "It shouldn't be. The family has funded many students. You know, there is nothing to say."

    Seeing that Zheng He didn't send any more news, Ren Zhaoyuan said, "Understood, please let me know if there is any news about Xie Rong."

    "As long as he is in City S, I will find it out for you, and I will tell you as soon as possible if there is any news," Zhao Yuanqing said in a softer voice, "Remember to let me out of the blacklist, otherwise it will be inconvenient to contact you. ."

    Ren Zhaoyuan was silent for two seconds and agreed.

    Zheng He took the wine and toasted Jing Ren Zhaoyuan and drank it clean: "Thank you, brother, I really have no clue."

    Ren Zhaoyuan shook his head and said nothing.

    As soon as this episode came out, the atmosphere was a bit cold, Tong Zhou thought about how to save the scene, and gave Yao Qiming a look.

    If it's just a few of them, it's okay to say, but there is still an incumbent like Tan Zheng on the side.

    My partner is in contact with my ex-husband, and I have to keep in touch in the future. I don't care what this is for, I will not be happy if I put it on anyone.

    Yao Qiming is the best at smoothing out the atmosphere, and was about to speak when Ren Zhaoyuan spoke first.

    He poured a glass of water for Tan Zheng, and his voice was not too loud or too small, and he did not avoid anyone.

    "You may have to contact him a few times. If you're not around, I'll record it and send it to you. I promise that there won't be any emotional communication, and I won't meet him alone."

    "This time is special and makes you uncomfortable. If you're not happy, I'll coax you slowly, don't be sulking in your heart, okay?"

    The people at the table looked at each other, dumbfounded, and then cleared their throats one after another.

    Tong Zhou said "it's amazing" in his heart, and when he picked up the group video sent by Zhao Chen, there was a smile in his voice: "Yo, Mr. Zhao is done? Come and show you a scene."

    Zhao Chen originally saw a string of unclear news in the group and wanted to ask what was going on. He took a look at Tongzhou's winery by the way. Unexpectedly, Tongzhou's camera turned to see Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng next to each other.

    "Why is Tan Zheng there?"

    "Tsk," Tong Zhou turned the camera back, "what you said, why can't he be a serious person with status, and he will have to be added to every gathering in the future."

    "I didn't say that," Zhao Chen said in a choked tone, "he was happy with the appointment of the real estate boss here and temporarily pushed a vice-president to come over to talk. The boss quit the job immediately. When I met him at dinner tonight, he told me about Mr. Tan Jingui. I'm afraid I can't cooperate, I think I have a big business to do, just to go to your broken winery?"

    "What is a broken winery? I'll show you how luxurious it is right now, and it will blind your eyes," Tong Zhou turned off the hands-free and raised his voice and took the phone out, "See, it's all piled up in RMB... "

    Tongzhou changed the subject and went out, Ren Zhaoyuan also heard clearly, and was more sure when he saw the panic in Tan Zheng's eyes.

    "Didn't you say you have to be busy if you don't have work?" Ren Zhaoyuan frowned slightly, his expression not very good-looking, "Is this what you mean by having time?"
