When Meng Xiaodong heard Li Tianyi say this, he suddenly realized. gave Li Tianyi a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you're still amazing." ”

Li Tianyi smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, when you experience more in officialdom, you will naturally understand." Do you think Zhou Shaoqiang can't see that I'm deliberately following his train of thought?"

Meng Xiaodong's eyes widened again, and he said, "Boss, can it be that Zhou Shaoqiang has already seen it?"

Li Tianyi smiled: "According to normal logic, he should be able to see it." ”

Meng Xiaodong was even more puzzled and asked, "Boss, since he can see it, why do you continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid?"

Li Tianyi smiled and said: "Sometimes people are like this, he always thinks that everything in others is under his control, especially people like Zhou Shaoqiang, who have already stood in a certain position, they are all extremely smart. Since he has already seen that I am pretending to be crazy and stupid and following his train of thought, then he will definitely think that I am only a little clever, in fact, these little cleverness of mine are all small tricks in his opinion, and they can't be put on the stage at all. Therefore, even if he sees it, he will definitely think that I am not smart enough, and I am not as wise as he is. And then he will still let his guard down on us. There is a certain logical relationship in this. ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking, Meng Xiaodong sighed and said, "Boss, I am really afraid of the world of you men. I wondered, why do you have so many eyes?"

Li Tianyi smiled bitterly and said: "Men, fighting with the sky, the fun is endless, fighting with the earth, the fun is endless, fighting with people, the fun is endless." What we Chinese men are best at is struggle. For thousands of years, the civilization of the Chinese nation has been able to continue and flourish endlessly because of struggle. And the history of Chinese civilization can also be seen as a drama of struggle. Whether it is the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, everyone is an actor in this great drama of struggle in Chinese civilization. And Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Strategies were born in this kind of endless struggle.

Many times we will say that war is cruel and that each and every one of us hates war. Sometimes, however, you cannot but affirm the positive role that war has played in the transformation and development of our world. ”

When Li Tianyi said this, he patted his head and said, "Oh, it's a bit far." What I mean by this is that struggle is a means of natural human selection. Whether it is a political struggle, an ideological struggle, or a military struggle, the purpose of the struggle is to preserve oneself and defeat others.

Therefore, as men, each of us must constantly arm ourselves with all kinds of knowledge. Because as a man, you are constantly facing competition with other people. Only by constantly improving and transforming ourselves can we survive in this highly competitive world. ”

Meng Xiaodong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It seems that you men are really tired of living." ”

At this moment, a burst of singing came from the radio in the car:

Be a man who is not afraid of wind and rain

For the sake of life, I am not afraid of the hardship and tiredness

Day after day chasing banknotes

Treat the bitterness in your heart as a delicacy

I think you can put me through it

Understand who I'm working for

When you have money, you complain that you have no one to accompany you

When you don't have money, you want to fly yourself

Men are tired, men are tired

Everyone on earth knows that I live a very messy life

A woman is a rose and a thorny bud

Let me taste the bitter water of love

Men are tired, men are tired

The whole world knows that I am tired of making money

I can't buy your comfort with my sweat

Is this the sin of a criminal committed by a man?

I think you can put me through it

Understand who I'm working hard for

Listening to this song, Meng Xiaodong seemed to suddenly have an understanding, looked at Li Tianyi and asked, "Boss, is this song singing the voice of your man?"

Li Tianyi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although I don't agree with some of the points in this song, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, in today's society, we men are indeed very tired. Everyone is fighting for their ideals, careers, and love. ”

Meng Xiaodong suddenly asked, "Boss, then what are you fighting for?"

Li Tianyi said with a smile: "Of course, it is for my ideal career and love." ”

"What is your ideal?" Meng Xiaodong then asked.

"It is my ideal to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations. When Li Tianyi spoke, his eyes were full of raging flames. These four sentences are a concept that his father instilled in him when he was a child. And this was also an ideal of my father at that time.

When he thought of this, Li Tianyi's eyes suddenly moistened a little. Because in order to provide for him to go to school, when his father went up the mountain to collect medicine, he stumbled and slipped off the cliff and fell to pieces. Li Tianyi will never forget how painful his heart was when he saw his father's body. It is precisely because of this pain that Li Tianyi will always engrave his father's ideal in his heart as his persistent goal. He wants to use his own efforts and hard work to help his father realize his former ideals, and this is also the goal he has been fighting for all his life.

Especially as he gets older, Li Tianyi feels more and more how great his father's goal is.

The process of achieving this was difficult, but Li Tianyi never chose to give up, because he hoped that his father would have a spirit in heaven and could see that his son was working hard to practice his ideals.

Meng Xiaodong also seemed to see the change in the mood of the boss Li Tianyi at this moment, and she fell silent.

The man on the radio was tired, and it was still playing, and Lao Wang had already started the car and drove in the direction of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

10 o'clock in the evening. Outside the residential building where Feng Xiaodong's home is located, wreaths are placed one by one, and black curtains have been placed at the door of the unit building.

Low, mournful music played in the community.

Feng Xiaodong's home is on the first floor, which is a suite with 3 bedrooms and 1 living room, with a total area of more than 170 square meters.

in the living room. Feng Xiaodong was lying in the coffin in the center.

Vice Mayor Zhou Shaoqiang stood at the door, presiding over the memorial ceremony. Although it was already late at night, there was an endless stream of people who came to pay tribute to Feng Xiaodong. Because Vice Mayor Zhou Shaoqiang is here, many people come to pay tribute to Feng Xiaodong, not Feng Xiaodong's face, but Zhou Shaoqiang's face.

On one side of the coffin, facing the direction of the door, Feng Xiaodong's wife and daughter, dressed in white and wearing a white cloth, knelt in front of the coffin and saluted the people who came to pay their respects one by one. Both of them had already cried into tears.

Although in the eyes of many outsiders, Feng Xiaodong is a corrupt official, but for their mother and daughter, Feng Xiaodong is the pillar of their family. Now that Feng Xiaodong is gone, the pillars of their family are broken, and their family has collapsed.

At this moment, the mother and daughter were in a trance, and they looked at the crowd coming and going just to return the salute.

By about 11 p.m., the crowd was gone.

At this time, Zhou Qilin strode in from outside. He came over today because he wanted to discuss something with Zhou Shaoqiang.

But when he walked into the door and saw the mother and daughter of the Feng family kneeling behind the coffin, his eyes were stunned. His eyes fell on Feng Xiaodong's daughter, Feng Huihui.

At this moment, Feng Huihui was dressed in white from top to bottom, and even her face was a little pale and haggard. At this moment, standing from Zhou Qilin's point of view and looking at Feng Huihui under the light, he felt that he saw that Lin Daiyu was alive.

Feng Huihui was born beautiful, with fair skin, coupled with this white, pale and haggard face, she has a bit of a sickly beauty.

The moment he saw Feng Huihui, Zhou Qilin felt that something had taken away his heart? His gaze lingered on Feng Huihui's body, and he didn't take it off for a long time.

Zhou Shaoqiang naturally knows what kind of virtue his son is. He immediately put on a straight face, looked at Zhou Qilin coldly and said, "What's the matter with you coming over?"

Zhou Qilin said to Zhou Shaoqiang: "Dad, come out for a while, I have something to talk to you about alone." ”

Zhou Shaoqiang followed Zhou Qilin out and found a secluded and uninhabited corner, Zhou Qilin lowered his voice and said: "According to some gossip on the Internet, the mattress in Feng Xiaodong's house is full of cash. Although the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has not yet come, it does not mean that they will not take action in the future. Do you see if we should arrange this matter in advance, in case the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection comes to investigate, the people of the Feng family can't say clearly. ”

Zhou Shaoqiang frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't move now, after all, there are still many relatives of the Feng family in the family now." And this matter, the people of the Feng family seem to attach great importance to it. Feng Xiaodong's room was always guarded by the relatives of the Feng family. I don't think we should worry about this matter, whether Feng Xiaodong is a corrupt official or not, it doesn't have much to do with us. What I want to show now is my feelings for Feng Xiaodong and my care for his family. I'm just acting for other people, for those who are attached to me. The Feng family is just a prop for me to act. ”

Zhou Qilin nodded and said, "Dad, I understand." I see it's already past 11 o'clock now, and you're tired all day, go back, I'll keep an eye on the rest here. You'll have to come early tomorrow morning for the cremation ceremony. ”

Zhou Shaoqiang heard his son say this, and there was a look of relief in his eyes. Now that my son has grown up, he knows that he feels sorry for himself. He was satisfied.

Zhou Shaoqiang nodded and said, "Okay, then you will be here tonight to watch on my behalf." I'll come early tomorrow morning, and I'm going to preside over tomorrow morning's ceremony myself. ”

Then the father and son returned to Feng's house again. Zhou Shaoqiang said goodbye to everyone, and said that he would let his son Zhou Qilin stay here and continue to help the Feng family manage the future, but the Feng family did not object, so Zhou Qilin stayed.

However, Zhou Shaoqiang never expected that he would be cautious all his life, but he would regret it for the rest of his life because of this decision tonight.
