In the quaint study, Master Song was wearing his reading glasses and reading the newspaper that had just been published today. Although he had already left his leadership position, Master Song would still read the newspaper and the documents sent by the old cadres every day. He was still very concerned about the state's affairs.
Director Lu gently knocked on the door and said softly, "Chief, Xia Ruofei is here."
Master Song took off his reading glasses and smiled at Xia Ruofei at the door. He said, "Why are you standing there? Come in and sit down! "
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei responded and stepped into the study.
Director Lu personally filled Master Song's teacup and poured a cup of tea for Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei quickly got up and thanked him. Director Lu's administrative rank was the deputy minister, which was the same as the governor of Southeast Province. Since he personally poured tea for Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei naturally couldn't accept it calmly. He still had to be polite.
Director Lu smiled and nodded at Xia Ruofei. He then quietly left the study and closed the door behind him.
The study suddenly quieted down.
Xia Ruofei stared at Elder Song, who was sitting opposite him, and found that his complexion was very rosy and he looked hale and hearty. What was even more exaggerated was that his original head of silver hair had turned back to black and had turned into a grizzled white.
"Grandpa Song, your complexion is very good," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Congratulations!"
Master Song laughed heartily. He pointed at Xia Ruofei and said, "This is all thanks to you! The Guanyin pendant you gave me is really magical. At first, it didn't feel so obvious, but after wearing it for a long time, the effect became more and more magical. Not only did I grow black hair, but now I feel a little dizzy wearing this pair of reading glasses. My eyes are probably better. Tomorrow, I'll have to ask Xiao Lu to give me a new pair of reading glasses. "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Rejuvenation! This is great news! "
The Spirit Gathering Jade Guanyin could gather spiritual energy to nourish the wearer at all times. Naturally, the longer the wearer wore it, the more obvious the effect would be. Now, it seemed that the effect of Master Song wearing the Jade Guanyin was gradually showing. Xia Ruofei was naturally happy for him.
Master Song said with a smile, "I want to dye my hair back to white, so that people don't think of me as an old monster!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Grandpa Song, it's not that exaggerated! Besides, even if you dye it, you should dye it black! How can you dye your black hair white? "
"That's not impossible," Master Song said with a smile.
In fact, when he was a leader, his hair was dyed black. Of course, it was for the sake of the country's image. After all, as a leader, he was on the TV news almost every day. After he retired, he didn't dye his hair at all. After all, hair dye was not good for the body. Even if it was all natural, it couldn't be harmless at all.
Master Song continued, "And the Zhong Kui pendant you gave last time is also very unusual! In the past, this old house always had a kind of cold feeling. After living here for a long time, it was more or less uncomfortable. But after getting that pendant, the air felt a lot warmer, and the complexion of the staff at home was much better! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's good to be able to help!"
Master Song said with emotion, "Ruofei! To be able to meet you is really Family Song's fortune. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my old bones would have been playing chess with my old comrades at Babao Mountain. For the past two years, Family Song has been going smoothly. In the end, it's all thanks to your miraculous hand! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Grandpa Song, you're too kind! You're the general I admired the most when I was in the army. It's my honor to be able to contribute to your health! "
Xia Ruofei knew that Master Song had brought the topic here to talk about Family Liu, so he just said a few polite words and then closed his mouth. He looked at Master Song with clear eyes and waited for him to continue.
Master Song glanced at Xia Ruofei and asked lightly, "Did Xiao Rui tell you?"
Xia Ruofei was stunned and said, "Are you talking about Family Liu? He didn't say it in detail … He just said that the old man of the Gao family came to see you. "
Master Song said with a smile, "You don't have to be nervous. Old Gao came to see me, and it's about Old Liu. He hopes that I can persuade you to take action. "
Xia Ruofei looked at Master Song quietly and didn't say anything. He knew that Master Song must have made a decision long ago. All he needed to do was listen.
Of course, Master Song couldn't force him. If he really didn't want to, it would be useless even if God came to persuade him. Although the Taoyuan Company was in China, its core competitiveness had nothing to do with the farms and pharmaceutical factories in China. If he was forced, Xia Ruofei could just go abroad.
Most of his funds were in overseas accounts, and as long as he had the Ring-Tu space, it wouldn't be difficult to build another Taoyuan Company. The only thing he would lose was the money he invested in the early stage.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't want to go to this step unless it was absolutely necessary. He also believed that Master Song wouldn't force him to do something he didn't want to do.
Master Song then said, "You know, Old Gao saved my life. If he hadn't carried me back from the battlefield, I would have been dead. How could I have become a general, or even a leader of the country?"
At this point, Master Song changed the topic again. He looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "But I told Old Gao that he is my savior, and you are also my savior. Our Family Song will never force our savior to do something he doesn't want to do. And if someone wants to use the Family Song's influence to force you, our Family Song will never sit back and do nothing! "
Xia Ruofei heard this and couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.
To be honest, the fact that Master Song could say this was enough to show how important Xia Ruofei was in his heart.
No matter what, Old Gao was Master Song's old comrade-in-arms, and they were old comrades who had gone through life and death together. Now that the Gao Family was also a big family, Xia Ruofei couldn't even compare to a hair of the Gao Family on the surface.
However, Master Song could make such a strong statement for him, even at the expense of offending his savior. Xia Ruofei was touched.
Master Song said this with a kind smile on his face. He said, "Ruofei, the reason why I called you here today is not to put pressure on you, but to reassure you. You can do this based on your own heart. You don't have to worry about the Family Liu or the Gao Family's influence. "
"Grandpa Song, thank you …" Xia Ruofei's voice was slightly choked with emotion.
Master Song waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do. This matter originally came out because you treated me, and we didn't do a good job of keeping it a secret. Also, you don't have to feel burdened. The current situation is like this. If Old Liu can't hold on for much longer, Family Liu will definitely keep a low profile and won't reveal his strength. You don't have to worry about the Gao Family either. Although Old Gao and I haven't been in contact much in recent years, we're still comrades who came from the same trench. Now that there aren't many old brothers left, he still has to give me face. After all … his body is much weaker than mine … "
When Master Song said this, a faint domineering aura was revealed. Xia Ruofei seemed to see the all-powerful general in his memories.
After retiring, Master Song became more and more peaceful. He rarely revealed such a sharp edge.
After listening to Master Song's words, Xia Ruofei pondered for a while before asking, "Grandpa Song, I want to know … Putting other factors aside, what do you want me to do?"
Master Song was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Shouldn't this matter be based on your opinion? Why are you asking for my opinion? "
"Because your position is also very important!" Xia Ruofei grinned. "If you don't want me to treat Family Liu's old man, then I won't say another word. I'll pack up and return to the three mountains today!"
"You sly little fox!" Master Song couldn't help but laugh and scold him. Then, he asked meaningfully, "What if I want you to help him appropriately?"
Xia Ruofei had expected this. He immediately said without hesitation, "Then I can consider it. At least I won't reject it outright."
Master Song's eyes revealed a trace of relief. He sighed and then said seriously, "Ruofei, my opinion is only for reference. The reason why I didn't say it before was because I was afraid it would affect your decision. Since you asked, then I'll tell you my opinion!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and looked at Master Song, pretending to listen attentively.
Master Song said, "As I said before, there aren't many left of an old man who came out of the trenches. Putting other factors aside, I don't want Old Liu to leave so early, especially if there's still a chance to save him. But then again, Family Liu has also caused a lot of trouble for Family Song over the years. Whether it's in the political field or the business field, he has a lot of restrictions on us. From this point of view, if Old Liu is no longer around, Family Liu is nothing to worry about … "
Master Song was very frank. He didn't hide his conflicted thoughts in front of Xia Ruofei at all.
To be honest, at Master Song's level, even if he didn't cover his words in fog, he would at least have to be tactful. It was absolutely impossible for him to say things so bluntly. He also treated Xia Ruofei as his own nephew, which was why he said these words without any scruples.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I understand …"
Master Song was stunned for a moment and asked, "You understand? I haven't even thought about what position I want to take, but you already understand? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Grandpa Song, you're too involved to see clearly! Actually, after hearing what you said, I still admire you very much! "
Indeed, if Master Song had said frankly that he didn't want Family Liu's old man to have any hope of surviving, Xia Ruofei wouldn't have felt anything wrong with it. After all, from the family's point of view, that was the best result. However, Master Song still expressed his reluctance to part with his old comrade. This was a very rare flash of human nature.
The reason why a person was human was because he was an emotional animal. If everything was based on the pros and cons, and only considered the benefits, then from the perspective of human nature, there would be something lacking.
Master Song said with a wry smile, "Don't be sarcastic!"
Xia Ruofei said seriously, "I wouldn't dare to mock you, old man! These are all words from the bottom of my heart! "
Master Song laughed and asked, "Ruofei, you just said that you understand. Have you decided what to do?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, saying, "More or less! I already have a rough plan. "
In fact, before Xia Ruofei came, he already had a basic principle.
Since Family Liu already knew of his medical skills, directly refusing was undoubtedly the most unwise choice. Although Xia Ruofei wasn't afraid of trouble, it didn't mean that he liked to be entangled in it.
If he directly agreed to treat Old Man Liu, first of all, Xia Ruofei wouldn't be able to get over it in his heart. If he gave in just because someone exerted a little pressure, wouldn't he have a little backbone? Moreover, giving Family Liu a living pillar wasn't in Xia Ruofei's interest, nor was it in Family Song's interest.
Therefore, he needed to find a balance point in the middle.
In fact, this was very similar to Master Song's mentality.
The difference was that Master Song was only conflicted. In fact, he gave the choice to Xia Ruofei and didn't exert any influence on Xia Ruofei. Instead, he stood out to be a strong backing for Xia Ruofei. As for Xia Ruofei's choice, the only thing he needed to consider was how to minimize his troubles and maximize his benefits in this matter.
Now that Master Song's mentality and his considerations were basically the same, naturally, his inner decision was firm.
