Lotus City, Yunlin No. 33 Courtyard, as always, is quiet and far-reaching.

Gu Kaifan glanced at the yellowed street lamp, thinking that if he sat in the position of Ma Rulong or Yan Kaishun, he would not abandon this road, maybe such a day may not be too far away.

Pushing open the rather heavy door, there was a creaking sound, the TV in the living room was playing the news on the hour of the evening, Gu Zhongmin sat on the sofa, heard the movement of opening the door, but did not look back.

"Dad, it's so late, what are you calling me for? What can't you talk about on the phone? Do you have to let me come over for a run? I'm going to rush to Xingcheng for a meeting early tomorrow morning!"

Gu Kaifan couldn't help but wonder when he saw that his old man called him over but ignored him at all.

Gu Zhongmin raised the remote control slightly, turned the TV on mute, and turned his head to stare at his son, with a bit of scrutiny and doubt in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Kaifan sat down on the sofa next to him, full of doubts.

"What the hell are you doing today?" Gu Zhongmin asked in a deep voice.

"What's going on?"

Gu Kaifan couldn't help but wonder even more, secretly saying how the old man hid his words, how he made him guess, and asked him like this.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be able to come back in time to attend Hao Jun's thank-you banquet in the morning, why did you catch up in the evening?"

"You said this, I forgot that you were over there at the time, didn't I just have time, so I just went to join in the fun!"

Gu Kaifan has a bit of a taste for him.

"Yes, how majestic is your Secretary Gu, where can you notice me, a bad old man on the side?" Gu Zhongmin said sarcastically, his eyes staring at his son very sharply, trying to see something from his expression.

Gu Kaifan couldn't help but pause, and said with a wry smile: "Dad, where did you get so angry? Didn't you say it yourself, don't you want to be contaminated with that bit of officialdom on me, I am quite acquainted, and I have always rarely come to you, you are good now, but when I talk about me, I am wronged, besides, on this occasion today, many of them are cadres and workers in Fengtang District, I can run to your side, doesn't this seem to be too ignorant?"

"Don't be sloppy with me here, what I want to tell you, you should know very well in your own heart, could it be that you have forgotten who rescued you in the first place, who was the first to be so righteous and disregard your own safety? You must be a man with a conscience, didn't I teach you when you were a child? Look at the way you look today, where do you seem to go to the thank-you banquet, I am old, but my eyes are not blind?"

Although Gu Zhongmin is not in politics, he is very familiar with it.

He was also invited to participate in Hao Jun's teacher appreciation banquet today, sitting at the table of Hao Jun's junior high school teacher, looking relatively low-key, but he saw all the scenes of Gu Kaifan from the beginning of his appearance, not to mention the anti-guest, just the few times Gu Kaifan left Hao Yuefei aside made him dumbfounded.

But after all, it was in public, and he, the old father, still had the heart to protect his son's face, so it was inconvenient to attack on the spot, so in the end, he had to hold his thoughts, only to feel that the dishes on the table were tasteless, and finally left in a hurry without saying hello to Hao Yuefei's family, and at this time he was full of fire brewing like the eve of a volcanic eruption.

Seeing that Gu Kaifan was actually looking like "pretending not to know", he was even more angry.

"Dad, the situation inside is a bit complicated, you don't understand, I have some ideas, but there is a reason!"

Gu Kaifan couldn't hold back the resentment that surged in his heart for a moment, feeling that the old man didn't understand him, but as soon as the words came out, his tone was still a little impatient after all.

Gu Zhongmin also suppressed the anger that was about to erupt, and said: "What is the reason, you can tell me and let me hear it? A person of my age, can't I still distinguish between right and wrong?"

Gu Kaifan swallowed back the words that came to his mouth vividly, this matter really couldn't be said in front of his father, but he felt that these were his right things after all, but Hao Yuefei was too insatiable and made his own opinions.

"Dad, things are indeed a bit complicated, related to the acceptance of the development project in Fengtang District, I have to do it myself, but Hao Yuefei is clearly in love with power, I am afraid that his attitude will affect the progress of the project and the final acceptance results, this project has now been valued by the provincial and municipal leaders, and there can be no mistakes!"

Gu Kaifan said in a deep voice.

"I'm not deaf or blind! You say this, you pat your chest, do you believe it yourself?" Hearing that this was the reason, Gu Zhongmin was so angry that his face was swollen and red, Gu Kaifan himself had mentioned the Fengtang District development project in front of him many times, and he and Xi Weisheng were also old friends, how could he not know the level of attention that the Fengtang District development project is receiving now, if it is more dangerous, it is the center of the storm.

He knew the reason for the preparation of this project from the beginning, when Hao Jun told Lao Xi and Lao Shu about this idea, he sat on the side, it can be said that he was the earliest witness of the entire development project, it was clearly Hao Yuefei's personal idea, and he invested in it with a fearless spirit, started from scratch, and even gambled on his own future and official reputation, which led to the fruitful results of the Fengtang District development project, and his son, the son who was favored by others, ignored all this and wanted to covet the political achievements of this project, and he had begun to wonder if the young man in front of him was his son who was trained by him！

How can it be so shameless!

"Who said in front of me that he was not optimistic about this project, that he didn't want to interfere too much, and let Hao Yuefei do it himself? Later, after gradually achieving some results, who sighed in front of me that Hao Yuefei could do this thing, and the credit was all his? You pat your chest and ask again, does your conscience hurt?"

Gu Zhongmin almost pointed at Gu Kaifan's nose and reprimanded.

"Dad, I said it, you still don't understand the situation, now the development project has attracted too much attention from the high-level, in fact, it is an eye of the storm, you don't see Secretary He and Mayor Yan, they obviously have their own ideas, I did this to protect the hard-won results of our Fengtang District, there is no idea of revenge at all!"

"You ran to someone's banquet and put on a full hand, but the main owner was put aside, you are not a favor and revenge, and, what is the matter with that woman? I asked someone to introduce you to so many girls, why are you not so cheeky to chase one back?"

The more Gu Zhongmin scolded, the more angry he became, and his voice became louder, "In the end, I really can't afford to lose this old face, and I hurried back without even saying goodbye, you will give me such an explanation now?"

"Dad, Hao Yuefei is old after all, but I'm still young, these political achievements play a much more effective role on my resume than on Hao Yuefei's resume, not to mention, everything in Fengtang District should be controlled by me, and if I get out, it will only make the people above think that I, the number one, cannot control the overall situation, and I don't have the ability to control the corresponding ruling party, this, you should think about it for me, when the time comes, I will give Hao Yuefei some compensation......"

Gu Kaifan finally said what he really thought in his heart, in the face of political achievements, what intimacy, what kindness to repay, all seemed blank and powerless.

"Don't you want to think that Hao Yuefei can make such a big scene, will you really get what you want?"

Although Gu Zhongmin despised Gu Kaifan's behavior, he was his son after all, and he would inevitably think about the problem from his perspective in the end, and subconsciously threw this question out.
