Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiaoxiao say this, Ji Teng is a pistachio, as long as he is present, the atmosphere must be warm.

Everyone is just joking, no one really despises him, Ji Teng is one of the important people in this team.

Jiang Yue sent Wu Xiaofan back to the hotel and then went to the ward, and her mother was already asleep.

Aunt Mei and Zhou Aixia stayed in the ward, and they also fell asleep on the bed next door.

Jiang Yue and Tong Rou quietly exited the ward and did not wake them up.

Back at the hotel, neither of them was sleepy, probably because the effect of alcohol made them very excited.

"Tong Rou, Song Guangyi mentioned something at the wine table at night, saying that Xiaoxiao's father is about to become the number one mayor, have you heard about it?"

"I've heard Xiaoxiao say that there is such a thing. ”

"If that's the case, that's a good thing. Jiang Yue was happy for Murong Guang.

"Uncle Murong is self-motivated and driven, and it is said that an old leader above appreciates him very much. The reshuffle may be in the near future, and it is not clear exactly when it will be. ”

"Huh. As long as he can be promoted, it will be nothing sooner or later, if Uncle Murong can be the leader of Dengzhou City, I think he will make a difference. ”

"Yes, everyone thinks so, after all, Uncle Murong is an honest official, and he is a righteous soldier. It is a blessing for the people of Dengzhou that he can be the number one mayor, and it is estimated that he will make drastic changes after taking office. ”

Usually Jiang Yue doesn't pay much attention to these things, he puts his mind on developing the enterprise, and it doesn't matter to him who is the leader.

In the morning, Jiang Yue rushed to the hotel to accompany Wu Xiaofan for breakfast, and after breakfast, he went back to work in the company and asked Chen Chong to send Wu Xiaofan to the airport.

Tong Rou came to the hospital in the morning, and she and Jiang's father and Aunt Mei helped Jiang's mother up at nine o'clock and asked her to try to get out of bed and walk.

Although it was a little painful, Jiang Ma still gritted her teeth and persevered, and moved a few steps forward.

Later, with the encouragement and persistence of Tong Rou, they kept exercising for 20 minutes. Finally, he walked out of the ward and basked in the sun.

The long-lost sun shone on Jiang's mother, which made Jiang's mother feel a lot more energetic.

Jiang Yue is now entering a normal working state step by step and rhythmically every day, and he is very relieved to hand over his mother to Tong Rou to take care of him.

Three days later, one night, Duan Hongsheng's store was empty of customers. It was now nearly nine o'clock, and he was going to close the door and go home and sleep in a while.

But then an old man came to the shop, his hair was gray but he was still in good spirits.

He should have looked like he was sixty-three or fourteen years old, burly and athletic, much stronger than his peers.

Although he was dressed very ordinarily, his eyes were very sharp, and his eyes revealed the aura of a superior person. I believe that many people will have a chilling feeling when they look at him.

Duan Hongsheng was sitting there watching the news on his mobile phone at this time, and he didn't look up when the old man came in.

"Hostess, bring me a small bowl of dough. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he found a place and sat down, waiting patiently.

His voice was very loud, and Duan Hongsheng's body suddenly stiffened when he heard this voice.

He looked up in disbelief, and when he saw the old man, he shuddered and stood up.

The old man was also looking at him at this time, and Hong Sheng couldn't believe his eyes when the four eyes met.

But the old man immediately withdrew his gaze and sat there looking down at the chopsticks in his hand, no longer looking at Duan Hongsheng.

Duan Hongsheng had been standing there at a loss, but fortunately, the second aunt was making dough and didn't care about his reaction and expression.

Duan Hongsheng's eyes were a little moist, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he just stood there stiffly.

"Hong Sheng, bring the dough to the guests. It wasn't until the second aunt called him that he came back to his senses.

He immediately picked up the dough and placed it in front of the old man, and if you looked closely, you could see that his hands were shaking all the time.

The old man ate slowly, slowly, with a smile on his face as he ate.

Duan Hongsheng put down the bowl and came to the door, and stood there straight, concentrating like a soldier standing guard.

His eyes quickly swept around, ordinary people might not be able to see any changes, but Duan Hongsheng saw that there were many strangers around.

Those people were scattered in different corners in the distance, just like him.

For him, a former king of soldiers, he could feel the importance of the position of those people, and his small noodle shop was already under siege.

It took ten minutes for the old man to finish a small bowl of dough, and after the old man finished eating, he picked up a tissue from the table and wiped his mouth.

"Yes, very authentic and very authentic. Hostess, give you money. The old man put down the ten dollars, then tapped a few times on the table, got up and walked out.

"Big brother, six dollars for a small bowl of noodles, I'll look for you for four dollars. The second aunt chased out with four yuan.

"Forget it, don't look for it, I'll come back to eat next time. The old man said with a smile.

"That's not good, there are a lot of people who come to eat noodles, and if I forget it, it's not good, I have to find you. ”

The second aunt handed the four yuan to the old man, and the old man took the four yuan with a smile, and then walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the old man's back, Duan Hongsheng turned around and walked into the store and said to the second aunt: "I'll go out for a walk, bend and come back for a while, you clean up first, and I'll go home when I come back." ”

"Hmm. Go ahead, don't take too long. ”

After Duan Hongsheng came out of the house, he walked in the direction where the old man left.

The old man had just sent him a message to come and find him.

At a corner not far away, the old man kept looking at the night sky with his hands behind his back, wondering if he was counting the stars in the sky.

Duan Hongsheng stood two meters behind the old man, and he never spoke, as if he didn't want to disturb the old man.

It took a full three minutes for the old man to speak.

"The dough in your shop is delicious, and I can eat a small bowl after dinner, it tastes really good. ”

Duan Hongsheng didn't dare to answer, because he didn't know what the old man meant by saying this.

"She's all right now?"

"Yes, Chief, she's fine. You've seen it all, she's happy and happy. Duan Hongsheng replied softly.

"Hmph. You can see that she is very happy and happy. But I'm not happy and I'm not happy. ”

Hearing the old man's cold snort, Duan Hongsheng's body suddenly stiffened again.

"People think you're being affectionate and righteous, but you're actually stupid. I'm very sad to see you like this today, I don't sympathize with your plight, I just think it's a waste how I chose you in the first place. ”

The old man's tone was cold, and Duan Hongsheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

Maybe others don't know who the old man is, but he knows who the old man is. Not only did he know it, but he knew him very well, because the old man had been his immediate boss.

The old man never appeared on TV, in the newspapers, and never in public. Because of his special identity, he is a special existence.

But the energy of the old man and the power in his hands are not comparable to ordinary people, that is, the members of the party have to salute respectfully when they see him.

"It seems that you have a very comfortable little life, and those who are worried about you are really too much. ”

Duan Hongsheng still didn't dare to say a word, his scalp was numb now, and he was really afraid that the old man would kick him a few more times if he was angry.

Don't look at Duan Hong's life, he usually has a bad temper, but in front of the old man, he is better than a kitten.

"People think that you have contributed a lot to the country, but you forget how much effort and cost the country to train you. As a result, when you encounter something, you are like a stupid roe deer, and you don't talk about it, and all the hard work of the country is in vain. Alas!"

The old man sighed, then looked up at the starry sky again, and stopped speaking for a long time.

"I'm sorry, old chief. ”

"What's the use of saying sorry now? It's late, it's late. You have become a wasted person, and you can no longer contribute to the country, and you are ashamed of the country's cultivation of you. But as my former subordinate, I am relieved to see that you are living a good life now, and live the rest of your life according to your own temperament. ”

"I'm sorry, Chief, that I failed to live up to your expectations of me. ”

Duan Hongsheng didn't know what to say, he just said sorry.

"There is no point in saying this now, I happened to come to Dengzhou today to have something to do and take a look at you by the way, I'm leaving, you can do it yourself." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he left directly, and he didn't even look at Duan Hongsheng before leaving.

"Old chief, please go slowly. Duan Hongsheng immediately straightened up and gave the old man a military salute.

What he didn't know was that at the moment when the old man left, there was endless loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

As the old man left, dozens of figures followed the old man around, and they had been secretly protecting the old man's safety.

A hundred meters away, several off-road vehicles were parked.

The vehicle looks very ordinary, not very conspicuous kind of luxury car.

But anyone in the know can see that these vehicles are far more valuable than luxury cars, because they are the best cars that have been modified.

Murong Guang was sitting in one of the cars, and when he saw the old man coming, he immediately got out of the car and helped the old man open the car door, and the old man quickly left here after getting into the car.

"Chief, have you seen the instructor?"

"I saw him, said a few words, and I had lost any faith in him. ”

"Chief, after all, the instructor used to be the king of soldiers. ”

"Huh. You said it yourself, he used to be the king of soldiers, after all, he was. After more than 20 years, more than 20 years after leaving the army, what else do you think he can do?"

Hearing the old man say this, Murong Guang immediately understood what the old man meant, and he lowered his head and was silent.

More than 20 years have passed, how much do he still know about the current society? Now is the information age, and what he has learned has not been updated, has not been upgraded, and has been completely eliminated. He may have all the strength left, and you tell me that he will be able to achieve anything with this strength? At most, he will be able to fight with those little hooligans and show his prestige. ”

Murong Guang did not defend Duan Hongsheng, because what the old man said was very right.

In the past 20 years, he has fallen too much, not to mention adapting to his former duties, he may not be able to adapt to this society.

"In any case, he used to be my subordinate, a soldier I brought out single-handedly, and he also made great contributions to the country. As long as he lives well and lives the rest of his life, this is the only comfort for me. Compared with those comrades who sacrificed, he was lucky. ”

Speaking of this, the old man was a little more sad, Murong Guang lowered his head, he was not comfortable at this time.

"Usually you just take care of his life, it's the only thing we can do for him. ”

"Please rest assured, I will definitely take care of his life and will not let him be wronged. ”

"You may not know where he has been all these years, but we have always kept track of his movements, after all, he knows so much. Fortunately, he has been a bit of a duty all these years, and I went to see him once ten years ago, but he didn't know about it. Seeing that he was very satisfied with his living state, I didn't bother him anymore. ”

Murong Guang was shocked when he heard the old man say this, but he was immediately relieved.

He immediately understood that such an important person as an instructor, how could his superiors let him out of sight? It's just that his power is too small to know this information.

"Chief, do you want to ask the instructor to have a meal with you before you leave?"

"There's no need to eat, he doesn't deserve to eat with me right now. You bring me to him, and he knows what I mean. ”

"Okay, chief, I'll bring you to the table. ”

Murong Guang hurriedly made a guarantee, but in fact, he didn't know the true meaning of the old chief's words.

But he didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't ask, and if he didn't even have this little realization, he didn't deserve to sit in his current position.

"Dengzhou is an important economic town, and this transfer of you as a leader is itself a leapfrog and reuse you. I hope you will not live up to the expectations of the leaders and build Dengzhou well. A strong country is, first of all, an economy must be strong, and without an economy as a foundation, everything is empty talk. ”

"Please rest assured that I will work hard, do my best, and be a leader in the development of Dengzhou. ”

"Hmm. Hopefully you'll do what you say, and if you can't I'm the first one who will clean you up. Don't learn from Duan Hongsheng's kid, be a deserter that everyone spurns. ”

The old man's expression was very serious, and Murong Guang knew that the old man was definitely not scaring himself.

If he respects Duan Hongsheng, then he is in awe of the old man.
