Xiao Yunhai originally thought that Xiao Yuanyang would be unhappy because of this matter. He didn't expect him to be overjoyed when he heard about it.
Xiao Yunhai asked in bewilderment, "Boss, I lost such a good opportunity to get in touch with the chief. Why are you still so happy?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "Yunhai, do you think this is a good job? Let me tell you, this is the thing that worries me the most every New Year. What kind of person is the number one chief? His aura is like the Jade Emperor standing there, as deep as the abyss, high and mighty. Even if he smiles and talks, I'm already panicking, let alone showing it. "
Speaking up to this point, Xiao Yuanyang patted Xiao Yunhai's shoulder and said sympathetically, "Yunhai, for you to be able to take on this responsibility, I'm here to thank you."
Xiao Yunhai knew that even though Xiao Yuanyang said it nicely, it wasn't the case.
Receiving the number one chief had an extraordinary symbolic meaning. It represented the Xiao family's recognition of this third generation young man.
Because Xiao Yunhai was an artist, he wouldn't enter the bureaucracy in this life, so he wasn't a threat to Xiao Yuanyang. On the contrary, he might even be of help, so Xiao Yuanyang wouldn't be angry.
However, if someone from the Xiao family replaced him, and they were also in the bureaucracy, Xiao Yuanyang's attitude would be completely different from now.
Although Xiao Yunhai didn't come into contact with the bureaucracy in his previous life, he was still very clear about it.
"Boss, I really couldn't tell that you're actually so timid." Xiao Yunhai snorted and said disdainfully.
Xiao Yuanyang snorted and said, "Wait until you experience it yourself before you laugh at me."
Because of safety issues, the entire courtyard house was taken over by the Guard Bureau early on.
Xiao Changfeng, Chen Xiuzhu, and the rest left the courtyard house at seven and were brought home by Xiao Yuanyang.
When Xiao Yunhai was at the door, he also went through a strict body search, and with Xiao Leshan's identification, he was able to enter.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the staff in the courtyard and smiled bitterly. "Old man, isn't it just a New Year's greeting? Is there a need to do this? "
Xiao Leshan chuckled and said, "The safety of the Number One Chief is of utmost importance. No matter how strict the inspection is, it won't be excessive. Let me tell you, I applied for you to be in charge of the reception three days ago. The Guard Bureau has done the most detailed investigation of your identity. I estimate that your profile alone is as high as a person's. I heard that you almost failed because of what happened in Hong Kong. If it weren't for the Number One Chief's agreement, I'm afraid you wouldn't have this opportunity. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "After this year, please don't ask me to do this again, lest I make a mistake and embarrass you."
Xiao Leshan squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Are you very nervous now? After all, that was the number one official, the true head of the government. I remember the first time Yuanyang was in charge of receiving guests, he was trembling all over and almost spilled the tea on the table. "
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Old man, I'm not bragging. At my level of martial arts, let alone the Number One Chief, even if I see the Jade Emperor or King Yama, it's just a trivial matter for me. "
Xiao Leshan clapped and said with a smile, "Among the third generation of the Xiao Family, I'm most optimistic about you. Whether it's courage, ability, intelligence, or temperament, you're the best choice. It's just a pity that you didn't enter the officialdom. Otherwise, your future would really be limitless. If you're lucky, it's not impossible for you to walk into the center of power. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Even if I'm not in the officialdom, I still want to be able to make a name for myself. Just you wait and see. In less than ten years, your grandson will be the world's richest man and the world's most famous artist. When that day comes, we'll buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one and throw the other. "
Xiao Leshan was amused by Xiao Yunhai's words and laughed.
At this moment, a steady and loud voice came from outside.
"What's made Old Xiao so happy?"
Xiao Yunhai looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties walking into the courtyard. It was the Number One Chief who appeared on the news every day.
Behind him was a secretary and a few staff members, carrying a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, all looking at Xiao Leshan respectfully.
Xiao Leshan walked forward and shook hands with the Number One Chief. He chuckled and said, "I'm grateful to the government for not forgetting this old man. Actually, I've already said countless times, there's no need to come every year. Just ask Chongyang to bring me some of my favorite Da Hong Pao, this old man will be very grateful. "
The Number One Chief smiled and said, "Please don't say that. Hua Xia will never forget your contributions to Hua Xia. Just now, we heard that your laughter was full of energy. It's obvious that your health is good, so we're relieved. "
Xiao Leshan said, "The heart disease of many years has disappeared, my spirit is naturally much better."
At this moment, Xiao Yunhai interrupted and said, "Old Master, the weather is cold, you and the Chief should go inside and talk."
Xiao Leshan chuckled and said, "Look at my brain, let's go inside and talk."
The Number One Chief looked at Xiao Yunhai with appreciation and said, "Old Xiao, please."
After entering the house and sitting down, the Number One Chief looked at Xiao Yunhai who was busy making tea and said, "Old Xiao, this young man is Xiao Yunhai, right?"
Xiao Leshan nodded and said, "That's right. He's the child of my youngest son, Changfeng, and now he's fooling around in the arts circle. "
"Fooling around?" The Number One Chief chuckled and said, "Old Xiao, he can become a billionaire in two years and is famous in the world. If he's fooling around, it'll be amazing. "
Xiao Leshan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't praise him. This guy is someone who takes advantage of the situation, he can't be praised. His mother said that this kid never knows how to write the word 'modesty', and his guts are bigger than the sky. "
"Those juniors of mine, when they see me, they're like mice seeing a cat. Only he has never known what it means to respect his elders after entering this courtyard. He dares to argue with me until his face is red and his neck is thick, and the nonsense in his mouth is more than mine. But it's strange, this old man likes this kind of thing. In this kid's words, there's only one word, cheap. "
When the Number One Chief heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old Xiao, no wonder you're in such good spirits. Your mentality is obviously much more cheerful than in the past years, and your words are much more interesting. "
Xiao Leshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "After interacting with this kid for a few days, I've been influenced by him."
Xiao Yunhai brought two cups of tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "Chief, please have some tea."
If he encountered such a scene in his previous life, Xiao Yunhai would probably be so excited that he couldn't speak.
But in this world, he didn't know if it was the change in status or the increase in his martial arts, but after seeing the Number One Chief, Xiao Yunhai didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement. His heart was as calm as water.
Although the Number One Chief sat there like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling, Xiao Yunhai wasn't affected in the slightest. He was respectful but casual.
When Xiao Leshan saw his appearance, he nodded inwardly, "It's a pity that he didn't enter the bureaucracy with this kind of mentality."
Even though Chief Number One had a pleasant expression on his face ever since he entered the room, he was actually from the military and had a bad temper. Not to mention the commoners, even the high-ranking officials would tremble in fear when they reported to him.
He was in the highest position in Hua Xia and had seen countless people. Naturally, he could see that Xiao Yunhai wasn't afraid of him from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Yunhai, is it okay if I call you that?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You're a chief and an elder. It's not a problem whether it's in public or private."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's answer, the Number One Chief was suddenly interested and said, "Yunhai, sit down. I want to talk to you."
"Okay."
Xiao Yunhai didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
The Number One Chief asked, "I heard that you have a pen name called Otherworldly Guest and have written several Wuxia novels?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. Chief, you didn't read them too, did you? "
The Number One Chief smiled and said, "I did. Your four novels are now a must-read for me when I'm resting. In the words of the Internet, I'm your fan. "
Hearing his words, Xiao Yunhai suddenly opened his mouth and said in disbelief, "You're not kidding me, are you? I'm taking it seriously. "
