The so-called "five clothes" refers to the ancient mourning clothes, which can be divided into five generations according to the relationship with the dead: high grandfather, great grandfather, grandfather, father and himself. Once these five generations are related, they basically belong to relatives with distant blood.
The real power positions of the Huo family are usually held by their own families, but like secretaries and middle and low-level managers, they are controlled by many distant relatives.
Huo Bufan is calm on the surface, but in fact, he is constantly recalling the internal relations of the family in his heart.
The third uncle''s secretary is really Huo Haiqing, but the relationship is very far away. The core figures of the family have never really regarded such distant relatives as a family.
Few people know about Huo Haiqing''s private life and family relations.
But such a person can not only be close to the core level of the Huo family, but also be easily bought by external personnel.
Huo Bufan is almost certain that Huo Haiqing must have been bought off, otherwise he could not have been promoted from the Secretary to the director of the president''s office by the fake.
The closest relationship with Huo Haiqing is naturally the third uncle Huo Xiyuan.
Not long ago, Huo Xiyuan also found someone to plot against Huo Bufan, but failed. This also proves from the side that the third uncle has violated the ancestral training in some aspects.
If he can violate his ancestral precepts, he can betray his family.
Was he among those who murdered themselves?
If even the third uncle can be bought off, how many people in the family will be infiltrated?
Thinking of this, Huo Bufan can''t help shivering. It turns out that unconsciously, the family has been dangerous to this extent. In the past, he never thought about this. He just wanted to lead the family to take off.
Now I am reborn and look at the family from another angle. Only then can I find that all things are more complex than I imagined.
If powerful people are infiltrated, it may be more difficult than expected to recover the Huo family.
Because those people will try their best to obstruct him. The key is that they still have a high status.
On the other side, seeing Huo Bufan sitting there silent, Huo Jiaming couldn''t help saying, "brother Li, why are you asking?"
"Nothing, just ask casually. People at the bottom like us are naturally curious about rich families." Huo Bufan replied.
"In fact, it''s nothing. It''s just that there''s more money than others. Everything else is the same." Huo Jiaming said indifferently.
In his opinion, the biggest difference between the top of the family and ordinary people is that they have enough confidence and leisure to put on airs.
It''s hard for ordinary people to have a little taste, because you can''t even see a bottle of red wine that sells more than 100000, let alone taste it yourself. Since you can''t see the real object, how can you install it?
The rich are different. They can enjoy everything in the world. They are also "fucking" one by one. In other people''s opinion, this is called grounding.
If you say "shit", it''s called no quality.
Then, Huo Bufan asked several questions about the Huo family, most of which Huo Jiaming could answer, but he didn''t speak clearly.
He has a fair status in the family, but he doesn''t care much about family affairs. It''s a little difficult to get enough information from him.
Moreover, Tang Zhongwei will interrupt occasionally.
In this woman''s opinion, Huo Bufan''s behavior belongs to typical gossip. Who knows if he will take the news to the media for money afterwards.
Many family scandals have been exposed in this way.
Tang Zhongwei regarded herself as a member of the Huo family. Naturally, she would not allow such a thing to happen.
Knowing that she valued the Huo family very much, Huo Bufan didn''t ask any more questions. Anyway, he asked all the questions he should ask.
Then they talked about other things, most of which were of interest to Huo Jiaming.
For example, calligraphy, painting, antiques, stationery and so on.
In ancient times, Huo Jiaming was a very standard dandy, just like the three treasures of master Baylor: "walnut, finger and bird in cage."
Huo Bufan also knows most of these things and plays better than him.
No matter what Huo Jiaming asks, Huo Bufan can say clearly, but he admires this guy. That is, Tang Zhongwei is sitting here. Otherwise, he wants to hold Huo Bufan''s bow handle.
Tang Zhongwei never spoke much. She tasted tea there quietly and occasionally looked up at Huo Bufan.
Although I saw little, I was always surprised at that glance.
A real lady of the family will not always stare at a man, but Tang Zhongwei is also surprised that Huo Bufan is well-informed.
So many things, he can talk to you about everything, and can talk about ideas, as if he was really good at these.
Tang Zhongwei has met the same person, that is her fiance.
What surprised her most was that although the two people looked different, their tone of voice, body language and even the angle of smile were so similar.
Until now, Tang Zhongwei finally understood why Huo Jiaming had to take her to this trip.
The man in front of him is indeed seven or eight points similar to his fiance. What is different is only his appearance and voice.
How can two people who are thousands of miles apart and never know each other be so alike.
This makes Tang Zhongwei lament the magic of nature.
After about three or four hours, several pots of tea were changed. Huo Bufan looked up at the clock on the wall, and then said, "let''s do it first today. I have to go back to cook. Let me know when you have finished the work of the overseas branch."
Huo Jiaming''s face was still full of meaning, but he still nodded.
He hasn''t talked to anyone like this for a long time. Although his father can answer the same topic, he always teaches a lesson. Like Huo Bufan, he always starts from reality, talks vividly and interestingly, and makes people linger and forget to return.
In the past, only the third brother gave him this feeling. Now there is another person. Huo Jiaming naturally feels very happy.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Tang. It''s hot in summer. Keep warm. Bye." Huo Bufan gets up and says to Tang Zhongwei.
Tang Zhongwei was shaking hands with him. When she heard this, she was stunned.
Huo Jiaming laughed and said, "brother Li, you''re so interesting. Since it''s hot in summer, there''s nothing to keep warm."
"Drowned people always swim, so it''s not surprising that they need to keep warm in hot weather." Huo Bufan replied, "that''s it today. Have a nice trip back. Bye."
After that, Huo Bufan left his seat and walked outside the teahouse.
Looking at his back, Huo Jiaming said happily, "sister-in-law, am I right? Is this person very similar to the third brother?"
After asking this question, Huo Jiaming didn''t hear the answer. Huo Jiaming turned his head and looked at Tang Zhongwei, but she stood there in a daze, as if she was thinking of something.
"Sister in law, what''s the matter with you?" Huo Jiaming asked.
"Ah? What? " Tang Zhongwei came back and asked.
"I ask what you think." Huo Jiaming road.
"Nothing." Tang Zhongwei subconsciously shook her head, but then she couldn''t help looking at the direction Huo Bufan left, and she turned a small wave in her heart.
It''s hot in summer. Keep warm. If you put it on others, it may be just a joke, but it''s so familiar to Tang Zhongwei.
She is naturally prone to sweating, especially at night when it is a little hot. From small to large, the quilt she kicked may be higher than the Himalayas.
Because they grew up with Huo Bufan, they also had a rest in the same bed in their childhood.
Therefore, Huo Bufan is one of the few outsiders who know her problem.
Later, when they grew up, although they couldn''t sleep in the same bed because of the differences between men and women, Huo Bufan would still care if she kicked the quilt at night when she caught a cold.
Although it is hot in summer, it is easy to catch a cold when you turn on the air conditioner and don''t cover the quilt.
This matter has almost become a little secret between the two.
This young man, who had never met before, suddenly uttered such a sentence that Tang Zhongwei would naturally think more.
He knows about it?
Or is it a purely unintentional joke?
Without anyone noticing, Tang Zhongwei has been a little curious about Huo Bufan.
The appearance of curiosity is often a sign of a woman''s fall.
Out of the teahouse, Huo Bufan looked back at the shop, as if he could see the woman like his neighbor''s sister.
