"Every time you even think about changing, you simply and rudely attribute it to 'fate', if you let God know, I'm afraid he will feel wronged. Lin Xiaotian's voice was still so unhurried, and his eyes were so calm and deep, but it gave people a domineering feeling.

Liu Lijuan looked at him and sneered, "You think you can change?"

"At least I thought about helping Tian Tian change, and I was confident that I could help her change. Lin Xiaotian is full of confidence.

Liu Lijuan took out the cigarette case, popped out a lady's cigarette, and lit it on her fingertips.

When the smoke rose, she narrowed her eyes and said with some tiredness in her voice: "Many things are not something you can change if you want to, and reality is not a fairy tale, let alone chicken soup for the soul, and it is not something that can be achieved with confidence alone." ”

She took a slow puff and continued: "As a mother, I am very grateful that you did not take advantage of the situation to take possession of Tian Tian's body, and I am also grateful for your responsible attitude towards her. I am fully convinced that you have genuine feelings for her. But, I would like to say that your roots are too shallow. Money and power can be said to be nothing. You can say that I am realistic, or you can say that I am powerful, I don't care about any of this. It's just that it is very likely that this is the law of real life, and love that is not based on material may be just a mirror, unable to withstand any wind and waves, and will be broken with a slight poke. ”

"About our Chen family, I believe Tian Tian has also told you. The family is declining, the men are withering, and if it does not rely on political marriage, the whole big family is likely to decline by their generation. So those in the family will definitely not allow this to happen. Even if I relented here today, the family side would definitely oppose it. Tian Tian originally had another two-year contract, and if you want to be with her, there are too many things you need to overcome. ”

Her tone was no longer as strong and sharp as before, and she sounded more like an ordinary mother thinking about her daughter's future happiness.

But Lin Xiaotian knows very well that these are just appearances. Liu Lijuan just changed her negotiation style. Her tone was softened, but the meaning was still obvious: You can't give Chen Tian happiness, and you can't give us what we want.

He took a sip of tea and calmed his mind before saying, "Auntie, I already understand what you mean." ”

"It's good that you understand. Liu Lijuan's face showed a little joy, and she thought he was ready to let go.

But who knows, Lin Xiaotian suddenly changed his words, "So, please give me time and let me create the money and power you want." ”

"Create?" Liu Lijuan's face froze, "Ten years, or twenty years later?" Maybe you can really do it then, but what's the point?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there are still half a year left in Tian Tian's two-year appointment with you?" Lin Xiaotian was still so calm and calm.

Liu Lijuan looked at him, a little unable to guess his thoughts.

"Then give me half a year. Within half a year, don't send people to disturb Tian Tian's life, and don't come to me again. When the time comes, I will naturally come up with everything you want. Lin Xiaotian met her gaze.

Liu Lijuan's eyes were full of disbelief, "Half a year, are you a little overconfident." ”

According to the current development progress, it will take about eight months to stabilize the situation, but if the pressure increases, it is very possible to achieve it within six months. Lin Xiaotian secretly pondered for a moment, and then a slight smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, it's half a year." Now I guess you won't believe what you say, so it's better to wait for the expiration of half a year, and then look at the facts. ”

Liu Lijuan looked at the confidence exuding from him, and she felt unreal.

In half a year, from a security guard to a big man who has reached a very high degree of power and wealth? To say that this kind of fantasy can be so confident, this kind of person is either really capable or mentally retarded.

Liu Lijuan stared at Lin Xiaotian's eyes, secretly considering whether he was more like the former or the latter.

Lin Xiaotian didn't care, calmly facing her gaze, with a light style, and leisurely tasting tea.

At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side: "Brother Lin, you are also here, I have something to discuss with you?"

Lin Xiaotian followed the prestige, and after seeing that it was Hu Fengyang, he smiled and said, "It seems that we really have fate, Secretary Hu." ”

"Brother Lin, what are you shouting secretary, I am obsessed with you in your twenties, if you can afford it, just call me Uncle Hu like Riga. Hu Fengyang smiled, and suddenly noticed that there was a very temperamental mature woman sitting opposite Lin Xiaotian, and hurriedly asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my mother-in-law, Liu Lijuan, who is now the director of the local taxation bureau in Shanghai, Jiangnan Province. Lin Xiaotian introduced with a smile.

Hu Fengyang sighed, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Under Hu Fengyang, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

He felt that Liu Lijuan had a familiar temperament early on, and at this time, after Lin Xiaotian reminded him, he understood. It's the same as himself, cultivated by the government for a long time.

"I'm glad to meet you, too. Liu Lijuan stretched out her hand, shook him politely, and her eyes drifted to Lin Xiaotian. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the young man in front of her did not seem to be as simple as she imagined.

The secretary of the municipal party committee of Mingzhu City actually took the initiative to establish a relationship with him? This person is really a security guard? You must know that Mingzhu is not any better than an ordinary city. The province in which it is located is originally a semi-special economic zone and semi-direct jurisdiction, and it is itself the capital city of this province. It can be said that the people who can become the secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee are all ruthless people who have stepped into the central government with half a foot. At Hu Fengyang's current age, as long as he does not make any big mistakes in his political career in the future, it can be said that he will be steadily mixed to the provincial and ministerial level before retirement.

Hu Fengyang withdrew his hand, still with a gentle smile on his face, "Ms. Liu is really blessed to be able to recruit a good husband like Brother Lin." ”

"What did Secretary Hu say about this?" Liu Lijuan faced him, and her attitude seemed much more modest.

Secretary Hu smiled, "You have to cherish it, I can't recruit him as a son-in-law." Speaking of which, I have been able to turn positive recently, and it is thanks to him. Believe me, Brother Lin is definitely a treasure. ”

"Uncle Hu thinks too highly of me. Lin Xiaotian smiled modestly. "Mother-in-law, she hasn't approved of me yet, and it's not good for you to set her expectations too high. ”

Liu Lijuan looked at Lin Xiaotian, and felt more and more that she couldn't see through him.

Secretary Hu Fengyang said that he was all thanks to him, so how much ability does he have? No wonder he was so confident before, maybe he really has this ability. Half a year later, I'm looking forward to it now. After thinking for a moment, she thought to herself.

"Hahahaha, Brother Lin, don't be modest, I'll tell the truth. Secretary Hu said and glanced at Liu Lijuan and Lin Xiaotian, "Okay, I won't disturb you chatting." Brother Lin will be free later, so go directly to my side. ”

"Good. Uncle Hu walked slowly. Lin Xiaotian smiled.

After Hu Fengyang left, Liu Lijuan began to test Lin Xiaotian, wanting to find out some information about his true situation. But Lin Xiaotian's mouth is very tight, no matter how the other party tempts, he is pretending to be stupid and stunned, so as not to respond to all changes.

After Liu Lijuan tried for a long time and didn't ask anything, she gave up trying, but her curiosity about him became stronger.

When she got up to leave, Lin Xiaotian also followed.

After the two walked out of the door of the teahouse, Liu Lijuan turned to look at him, and said in a calm voice: "Lin Xiaotian, this time I came to Mingzhu, Tian Tian didn't know. ”

Lin Xiaotian immediately understood what she meant, and agreed: "Don't worry, I won't tell her about our meeting today." ”

"That's good. Liu Lijuan smiled when she heard this.

In fact, since the last time she arranged a political marriage for Chen Tian, the relationship between her and Chen Tian has been very stiff. Especially after the two-year contract came out, their mother and daughter almost completely broke off contact.

Liu Lijuan knows her daughter very well, and although Na Nizi usually looks docile and well-behaved, she also has her own persistence. If she knew that she secretly came to Mingzhu to force Lin Xiaotian to leave her, maybe she would really cut off her relationship with herself in a fit of anger.

At this moment, seeing Lin Xiaotian so upright, he promised to keep it secret for himself. Her heart was relieved, and her smile was extraordinarily sweet.

Her smile is completely different from the previous cold and glamorous, like a spring in March, with endless charm.

Lin Xiaotian looked at her, thinking that if this woman could let go of her usual strength and arrogance, she would definitely be an intellectual woman who could fascinate countless men.

"So be it, I'm leaving. Remember to keep it a secret for me. Liu Lijuan's smile only existed for a moment, and it didn't take as long as Lin Xiaotian to reminisce for a moment, and then quickly retracted.

After seeing her go away, Lin Xiaotian turned around and returned to the teahouse.

Hu Fengyang and Zhang Lijia were drinking tea in the private room, both of them had some sadness on their faces, obviously encountering something tricky.

After Lin Xiaotian walked into the private room, he didn't have any politeness, and sat directly opposite Hu Fengyang.

Zhang Lijia immediately poured him tea.

Lin Xiaotian looked at the two of them and said directly: "Uncle Hu, the third child, why are you all worried?

"Well, it's a tricky thing to do. Hu Fengyang rubbed his eyebrows, "Let's let Rica tell you about the specific situation." ”

Zhang Li's face was a little ugly, and he hesitated before saying: "Secretary Hu has heard the news in advance, Lei Zheng is about to come out of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and it is said that he will continue to serve as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee after he comes out." ”

"This is about to come out, too soon, right?" Lin Xiaotian had some surprise in his eyes.

Although he had long expected that Lei Zheng would definitely have a way to come out, he didn't expect that the time would be so short. It can be seen how powerful the forces behind this guy are.

Hu Fengyang sighed: "Yes, it's too fast." I've only just taken office, and the situation hasn't had time to stabilize yet. He came out, although he was only a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee on the surface, but it was a big hidden danger. After all, I've already attacked him before, and after he comes out this time, he will definitely find a way to retaliate. ”
