"Boss, you seem to be in a good mood these days?"

The clerk in the military store was very attentive to Zhang Lou's mood change that was particularly contrasting with the previous few days.

At the same time, he also has a stronger sense of crisis about the existence of Duanmu Hibiscus.

The same woman, she understands that whether this woman loves this man or not, can bring him out of his dead emotions, she has something in her that fascinates men.

This kind of thing is like a poison/product that makes men want to stop, and once they get involved, they can't do without it.

"It's all right. You were also working hard some time ago, so I'll give you a few days off. ”

"No, I don't have anywhere to go by myself. Boss, if you really want to thank me, then invite me to your house for a meal. I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time. ”

"It's not okay at home for the time being, but I can invite you to a private store for dinner today. The food there tastes like home-made. It's sure to give you a taste of home. "Duanmu Hibiscus went out and walked in like a ghost.

The clerk never thought that Duanmu Hibiscus would just walk in, and her tutor from a young age made her blush at the fact that she had just dared to go to someone else's house to find out. At this time, in the face of Duanmu Hibiscus's invitation, he directly shook his head and refused.

Zhang Lou didn't know why, but he smiled and acted as a good boss, and persuaded: "Go, we will go in a while anyway." The food there tastes really good. ”

"Boss, I'm not going, I remember that it's inconvenient today." The clerk was so anxious that he refused, and hid to entertain the guests.

Facing the corners of his mouth upturned, his eyes like a smile but not a smile. The clerk only felt that she was really sarcastic about herself, and the clerk wished that time could be turned back and not happen just now.

"Since it's inconvenient for her, let's invite her another day." Duanmu Hibiscus stepped forward to the clerk and went down the steps. However, the clerk who heard these words felt that she was provocative and showing off.

Duanmu Hibiscus, who had been glared at several times by the clerk, glanced at the other party. Too lazy to bother with an over-energetic young man.

Zhang Lou followed Duanmu Hibiscus out of the store before he remembered and asked, "It's not dinner yet, why are you here?" ”

"You forgot to go back to our parents today?"

"I was so busy that I forgot that today was the time to go back to visit them."

After a difficult business period and Zhang Lou's unremitting efforts, the military store now has a stable number of old customers, and there are many new customers by word of mouth. Zhang Lou sorted out the new goods ordered back and was busy for several days.

"Let's go, the eldest sister seems to be back too."

Duanmu Hibiscus knew in his heart that going back today was not just for eating, but a few days ago, he guessed from Zhang's mother's tone that this person who had struggled for decades and was in a high position in national security had the intention of retiring.

If it was a few months ago, Duanmu Hibiscus would not have understood that Zhang's mother was sitting in the first seat of national security. Why retire.

I have seen the confidential documents that are constantly being passed on from the imperial capital. It was easy for her to know how wise Zhang's mother's decision was.

The time for the change of the country's leadership is next year. The current leader has been resigned for two consecutive terms, and this time he must retire.

Then there will be a big change in today's leadership team. It just so happens that the first chair of national security is particularly valued by every leader. Zhang's mother is a member of the current leadership faction, and if someone else takes the position, she must not want her to continue to occupy this position.

There will be troubles and dangers that keep coming to Zhang's mother. The Zhang family greeted him. Retreating is the best way to do it at the moment.

In fact, Duanmu Hibiscus also had a lot of guesses about the choice of his grandmother and admiral in the imperial capital next year.

Not every leader can get along with a family like the Duanmu family, which holds the dark power of the country. The Duanmu family wants to bring down the leaders who don't get along well, and it can't be done with a word. The price to pay is something that no one wants to see.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Hibiscus knew that his current identity was not at all involved in the affairs of the imperial capital and the Duanmu family. At the moment, he let go of this matter and accompanied Zhang Lou back to Zhang's house.

The eldest sister who returned to Zhang's house and Zhang Lou also came back, and Duanmu Hibiscus guessed that she was also rushed back because of Zhang's mother's retreat.

Not long after, when Zhang Lou and Zhang's mother went to help in the kitchen, and Zhang's mother hadn't come back yet, Zhang Lou's eldest sister talked to Duanmu Hibiscus about Zhang's mother.

"Your incident is indeed something the army did wrong, and our family's strength is still too low. It may not be as good as before in a short period of time. You'd better be careful. ”

Zhang Lou's eldest sister also heard that Duanmu Hibiscus came out of the army and was always dissatisfied.

Before, there was Zhang Mu, the national security leader, who was on top of it, and others had to weigh it even if they wanted to move the hibiscus. Now that Zhang's mother is going to retire, Sister Zhang Lou is somewhat worried about the future of Duanmu Hibiscus.

In fact, when she said this, she was worried that Duanmu Hibiscus would think too much and misunderstand what she meant. It's just that Duanmu Hibiscus is a human being, how can he not understand her kindness.

Duanmu Hibiscus smiled broadly: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I understand what you mean." ”

Zhang Lou's eldest sister was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Duanmu Hibiscus, who was rumored to be angry from the outside world, could be so calm.

"Mother told you?" Zhang Lou's eldest sister guessed that Duanmu Hibiscus's sudden change must have been about her mother's retirement.

"Mother didn't say it explicitly."

Zhang Lou's eldest sister smiled slightly, but she was surprised that her mother already valued Duanmu Hibiscus in such a way.

After the meal, Zhang Lou looked at Duanmu Hibiscus many times, as if he had something to say. Duanmu Hibiscus leaned into his ear and said, "We can stay tonight." "This is also what Zhang's mother meant, and there may be something to say at night.

"Really?"

There are a lot of things in the company, and Duanmu Hibiscus has to squeeze out the time for eating every day, and Zhang Lou also knows about these situations. I didn't expect Duanmu Hibiscus to agree to stay for one night.

"Really."

"You guys talk, boss, come with me." Zhang's mother took Zhang Lou's eldest sister upstairs to the study.

In the study, Zhang's mother said with certainty that she had begun to retire step by step, and at the same time, it was also the most important point to let her eldest daughter come back this time.

"This time you go to the army again, remember to learn to forbear, at present, it is estimated that due to my retirement, the people in my family will need to endure for a year or two. This time I called you back because of this. This is not a simple sentence, if you can't give in, the result can only be a loss. ”

Zhang Lou's eldest sister smiled confidently: "Before coming back, my second sister and I had a long talk about many things after you retired. You can rest assured. It's just Hibiscus there......"

Although I found out just now that Duanmu Hibiscus was very calm and still did things so steadily, Zhang Lou's eldest sister was still very unsure. For this new member, she wasn't sure if she would be able to stay out of trouble while the family was retiring.

To say that his eldest daughter's vision has always been very good, I didn't expect that when I met Duanmu Hibiscus, I would also have a time when I looked away: "You better take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about Hibiscus." ”

"Why? Mother, you won't just ignore her, will you? ”

"Hibiscus is much stronger than you, you better take care of yourself." Mother Zhang laughed angrily.

Not only could she be delegated a task of that level, but the power behind the secretary of the imperial capital alone was enough for her to squander. In the future, the Zhang family will have something to do, but I am afraid that they will have to rely on her.

Zhang's mother's words made Zhang Lou's eldest sister really couldn't understand, and in the end, Zhang's mother pursed her lips and was not ready to tell her more.

Zhang Lou's eldest sister looked at Duanmu Hibiscus with a strange gaze after coming down from the upper floor.

"Mother, let you go up."

Duanmu Hibiscus didn't think that Sister Zhang Lou had an opinion on her, so she naturally got up and went upstairs.

As soon as she entered the study door, Zhang's mother asked, "Your eldest sister didn't scare you, did she?" ”

Looking at Mother Zhang's eyes with a smile in her eyes, Duanmu Hibiscus smiled: "I'm not scared." ”

"It's good that it's not scared. I thought it would take longer for you to get to where you are now. You gave me a big surprise. You have also guessed that there will be turmoil in the military and political circles, and I have decided to retreat.

I hope that when there is something going on at home, you can help you a little bit. You may wonder why I am so serious.

You have to understand that I must have stood in line when I am in a high position, otherwise neither side would want me to sit in my current position. Once it is down, although there will not be a major crisis, small troubles will not stop. If there are too many small things, it can also be a big trouble. ”

married to the Zhang family, he is a member of the Zhang family, Duanmu Hibiscus never thought that the Zhang family was in trouble and stayed out of the matter.

Regarding the things that Zhang's mother said, since she left the army and participated in secret missions, she has also gained a deeper understanding of the hidden rules of the industry in the military and political circles.

For Zhang's mother to believe in herself so much, believing that a businessman has the ability to solve these military and political affairs, Duanmu Hibiscus can also understand: "Mother rest assured, I will not stand idly by if I can do it." ”

"Then I'm relieved." Mother Zhang leaned back on the leather chair, never so happy in her heart. It is not necessarily so happy to say that his daughters have such a crisp answer, but Duanmu Hibiscus can stand up for the Zhang family very simply. This joy Zhang Mu can't put into words.

At the same time, I am also happy to meet a few old friends tomorrow, so that they can also know what a responsible person they have in their family.

At the same time, it can also reassure them that it won't be a big deal if they retire.

With Zhang's mother officially submitting the retirement letter, people are talking about this matter after dinner, especially the Wang family, the old lady Wang and her family have begun to eyeing the Zhang family.

Even Wang Ningan was infected, and was ready to discuss with Shi Lian'an how to find trouble with Duanmu Hibiscus.

Shi Lian'an, who was thin and dry, excitedly took his father's hand, wanting to determine whether the Zhang family's power would be greatly reduced, and whether his plan to retaliate against the broken wood could be let go.

"Father, is this news really reliable?"
