The landscaping of the entire courtyard was beautiful, especially these ancient pines. Each of them seemed to be older than the other, making the entire courtyard look like a fairyland.
"It's good to be rich." Liu Lihai said as he looked around.
"Hmph." Leng Hongyan snorted.
Yao Haidong hurriedly said, "Even if you have money, you can't live in such a place."
"That's right." Leng Hongyan laughed, his face full of pride. This made Liu Lihai very unhappy, but what could he do even if he was unhappy? Even if he were to grind ten layers of skin to death, would he be able to live in such a house?
"So what if you have money?" Leng Hongyan added.
"That's right. The bosses in China don't have much status. "Yao Haidong followed up on Leng Hongyan's words.
"Xiao Liu, did you hear that? In China, what's most important is power, not money. Do you understand? Money can buy a certain amount of power, but it's only a certain amount of power, not all the power. In front of us politicians, businessmen are like grandsons. If you ask them to go east, they won't dare to go west. Otherwise, how can they make money? This is also the reason why I don't want to go into business. I've been in the government before, and my attitude towards bosses is the same. I want to go into business, and I'm clear about the attitude of other officials towards me. Although politics is a political game you men play, I still want to take revenge on Wu Haotian. "Leng Hongyan once again mentioned Secretary Wu Haotian.
Yao Haidong couldn't help but shiver. You can offend anyone, but you should never offend a woman. Secretary Wu Haotian's words, "You may be shameless, but I still want to be shameless." seemed to have truly hurt Leng Hongyan.
The few of them chatted aimlessly while admiring the scenery in the courtyard. When it was almost lunchtime, Leng Hongyan brought Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai to his home. The house was a two-story independent building. Leng Hongyan didn't bring them upstairs, and they couldn't ask to see the General's residence.
Leng Hongyan led them directly to the dining room. She asked Mother Wu to serve them tea while looking at her watch. At this time, she didn't look as fierce as she was in the yard. She looked like a little woman waiting for her husband to return. This made Yao Haidong feel relieved. It seemed that Leng Hongyan didn't need to worry about anything. She was fully qualified to be a qualified wife in front of the general.
When Mother Wu was serving tea, a voice came from the living room, "Are the guests here?"
"The old man is back." Leng Hongyan said in a low voice. After that, she quickly put on a beautiful smile and stood up to welcome the old man she was talking about.
Yao Haidong also stood up, but he didn't continue to walk forward. Liu Lihai had to stand up, but he didn't know what kind of feeling he was feeling in his heart. Fear? Uneasiness? Fear? Also, Leng Hongyan's smiling face that was like a jasper from a good family also stung him.
Liu Lihai was probably very nervous. When he stood up, he accidentally knocked over the cup, and all the tea in the cup spilled out. Leng Hongyan went to welcome the old man. When Yao Haidong saw this scene, he hurriedly said to Liu Lihai, "Quickly clean it with a tissue. I'm warning you, when the old man comes later, you have to be careful. Don't let him see any flaws. Sigh, you guys, what do you want me to say? "
As Yao Haidong said this, he hurriedly went to get the tissue. After he got the tissue, he passed it to Liu Lihai and said in a low voice, "Quickly clean it and keep calm."
Liu Lihai was shocked. Only then did he know that if he continued like this, and the old man saw through him, not only would Leng Hongyan not be the wife of the general, he wouldn't be able to work in the government, and it would be hard to say whether he could keep his life. If these people wanted to kill a small fry like him, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant. This was something that Liu Lihai firmly believed.
Liu Lihai wiped the tea on the table as fast as he could. Fortunately, the old man hadn't entered the dining room yet. Perhaps Leng Hongyan had gone to pester him about something, or perhaps he had gone to change his clothes. No matter which one it was, for Liu Lihai, it was equivalent to saving his life, so it was very precious.
Liu Lihai finally cleaned up the mess he had just made. He tried hard to press his chest and looked at Yao Haidong. Yao Haidong's face was full of respect and awe. As for whether Yao Haidong's heart was really like his face, Liu Lihai didn't know.
Liu Lihai hurriedly adjusted his state of mind and learned to stand like Yao Haidong. He learned to show an expression on his face, like Yao Haidong, to maintain a respectful expression for the old man. He had to do this now. He had to forget the relationship between him and Leng Hongyan, completely.
At this time, Leng Hongyan walked into the dining room with the old man. Leng Hongyan snuggled up to the old man, looking seductive and charming, like a spoiled concubine. This made Liu Lihai feel infinite admiration. Ginger is always hotter with age. Leng Hongyan could adjust her state of mind to this extent, as if only she and the old man were showing off their love in this world.
Yao Haidong walked towards the old man at this time. The old man wasn't tall, less than 1.7 meters. Standing next to Leng Hongyan who was 1.6 meters, he looked even shorter. However, the old man was sturdy and burly. One look and you could tell that he was a real soldier. He didn't wear a military uniform, but a Tang-style casual suit, which made his majesty even more unnerving. At least for Liu Lihai, he was extremely nervous.
At this time, Yao Haidong saw the old man's face clearly and couldn't help but let out an "ah". Leng Hongyan looked at Yao Haidong from the side and couldn't help but giggle, but she quickly helped Yao Haidong and said, "Are you surprised?"
"Hello, Chief." Yao Haidong hurriedly said. He was indeed a little surprised. He had seen the old man before. He used to be the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region. When the Mr. Dong Memorial Hall in Lin County was completed, the old man had been there. At that time, Yao Haidong was still a reporter from Jingjiang Daily News and had specially interviewed the old man. However, the old man might not remember Yao Haidong.
"Chief, I'm Yao Haidong who interviewed you back then. Do you still remember me?" Of course, Yao Haidong was surprised. The old man's real name was Ji Yunhe, and he was now one of the members of the Military Commission. He thought that the person Leng Hongyan married was an ordinary general. He didn't expect that he was such a famous person.
"Now that you've mentioned it, I have an impression. Back then, you were still a little guy. In the blink of an eye, you've become an adult. I didn't expect that we would meet again. "The old man laughed and shook Yao Haidong's hand.
Yao Haidong was very excited. He didn't expect it to be Old Master Ji. This was a person with quite a character. Of course, people who had gone through life and death on the battlefield were all people.
"I didn't expect the chief to still remember me. However, I also didn't expect our minister to be so fated with the chief. Later, I'll have to offer a toast to the chief and bless him that he has finally found his own happiness." Yao Haidong's mouth was really good with words. His words were as sweet as they could be, and it also brought the relationship between him and the old man closer.
"Haidong's mouth is so sweet. Brother Yunhe, did you hear that? I've found my happiness. Have you? "Leng Hongyan looked up at Ji Yunhe like a little girl.
"Haha." Ji Yunhe burst into laughter at this time. It could be heard that he was laughing sincerely.
When the old man laughed, Leng Hongyan signaled to Yao Haidong. This action was seen by Liu Lihai. He was a little nervous at this time. He didn't know how to face such a big person, and it was him who made him a cuckold.
Yao Haidong understood Leng Hongyan's signal. He turned to Liu Lihai, who was still in a daze, and said, "Xiao Liu, come over and meet the Chief."
Liu Lihai tried hard not to be nervous, especially not to reveal any flaws. However, his footsteps still felt light, as if he had no foundation. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. Even Yao Haidong was shocked, so it must be a very important person. Although Liu Lihai wasn't very clear about the ranking of the Military Commission, Liu Lihai was very clear about the status of the Military Commission. Even if it was in a place, it was best not to provoke the people of the Military Commission.
A year ago, in a chain hotel in Jiangnan, an officer was treating a guest in this hotel. When he paid the bill, he found that he didn't bring any money. Because he came directly from the meeting, he forgot to change his clothes. The officer discussed with the cashier whether he could leave his military ID here. He would go back to get the money and pay the bill. However, the cashier didn't agree. He asked the cashier to find the manager to discuss, but the cashier said, "It's useless to find the manager. If you don't have money, don't come here to show off. Why don't you look at what place this is? Is it a place that poor soldiers like you can afford to enter? "
This infuriated the officer, who cursed, "You f * cking snob."
The officer's scolding also angered the cashier, who started arguing with the officer. In a fit of anger, the officer reached out and pushed the cashier. He didn't expect that he would use too much force and push the cashier to the ground. The other cashiers called security and fought with the officer, chasing him out of the hotel. Before the officer left, he scolded, "Don't you know who I am? Just you wait."
About half an hour later, the officer brought a car full of soldiers over. He shouted, "Smash it!"
Immediately, the soldiers smashed the hotel. All the cashiers and security guards were dumbfounded. After smashing the hotel, the officer shouted again, "Fire!"
The soldiers quickly returned to the car and left under the officer's lead. Later, this matter alarmed the leaders of the province. Those who could open such a big hotel were considered to be famous people in the local area. However, they met someone from the army, so this matter was left unsettled. They could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
Regarding this matter, there were many versions in Jiangnan. No matter which version, the conclusion was the same. Do not provoke people from the military for no reason. This was also a tacit agreement of the local officials in private. They didn't have to worry about each other, so it was fine. If they really wanted to argue, the local government couldn't compete with the military.
