Guo Xiaozhou followed Gan Su into her study.

The study is not large, with a desk and a set of bookcases, and a two-seater sofa facing the bookcase.

Gan Su sat behind the desk and looked condescendingly at Guo Xiaozhou who was sitting on the sofa. Guo Xiaozhou silently looked at the mother-in-law-to-be, waiting for her opening remarks.

"You have several confidants in Zhoukang, Guanghan, and Qingshan, I'm not wrong."

"What?" Guo Xiaozhou felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on his body.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, whether it's an ordinary friend or a more ambiguous relationship, I have found a problem." Gan Su leaned forward slightly, coldly pinned him, and said word by word: "Except for your first girlfriend, the one surnamed Zuo, you seem to be used to interacting with people who are older than you, and some of them are much older than you. ”

Guo Xiaozhou's face changed abruptly. He imagined many kinds of beginnings, such as her asking him to give up dating her daughter, such as her saying that your family background is not worthy of my Xiaoyi, and so on. He had even prepared many kinds of answers, but she had caught him a little off guard by her strong assault.

He looked at her with a slight respect, it seemed that she could be in a high position, not entirely due to the influence of the family. The word strong is used in men, it is ability, prestige, and courage. When used on women, it has the weight of a double bonus.

And he never expected that Gansu would actually intervene in such a way.

It's a high-pressure situation.

It is a kind of split buckle in volleyball.

"My Xiaoyi is almost three years older than you, may I ask, do you have a mother-love plot?"

"No, I'm normal." Guo Xiaozhou replied stubbornly.

"How do you prove you didn't?" Gansu smiled for the first time, because the victory was in hand. It's just that when she laughs, it's more cold than when she doesn't.

Guo Xiaozhou was speechless. Does he want to take out his affair with An Jin as evidence, what kind of joke is he making, he is facing Gan Ziyi's mother, his future mother-in-law. It's just a coincidence that he likes mature women, and he doesn't like young girls.

"The fact that I stepped through this door today is proof of that." Guo Xiaozhou looked at her calmly.

"I have to say, you're stupider than I thought." Gansu stared at him coldly, tugging at the corners of her mouth without a smile, "Don't think I'll do what you want. Don't use Xiaoyi to blackmail us. ”

"We?" Guo Xiaozhou finally found a counterattack point, "Forgive me for being presumptuous." In addition to your objections in this family, Uncle Song and Second Brother Song and even Xiao Stinky welcome me. ”

Without waiting for Gan Su to speak, Guo Xiaozhou added, "The most important thing is Xiaoyi's attitude. ”

"I forgot to remind you that flowers are beautiful, but some flowers not only have thorns, but also pierce people." Gan Su wrote lightly: "You must also know that Xiaoyi is a betrothed person." ”

"As far as I know, Xiaoyi herself did not agree, and Song Lao also opposed this family business."

Gan Su frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Don't try to provoke me, you can't afford the consequences." ”

"My consequences are all on Xiaoyi." Guo Xiaozhou gradually recovered from the rout in the opening game, and now the two sides are beginning to be evenly matched. "You invited me into the study to reason with me, and I'm reasoning and laying out the facts right now."

Gan Su glanced at Guo Xiaozhou deeply, and she suddenly realized that this young man began to try to guide the topic and grasp the right to speak, which surprised Gan Su, who was deeply darkened by the way of officialdom.

There are really not many people who can quietly change the topic and guide the topic in the confrontation with her, and even if there is, they are the kind of real senior leaders.

"You haven't answered my topic yet, do you have a mother-lover plot?"

Guo Xiaozhou sighed secretly, and finally diverted her attention, but was discovered by her. Now we have to go back to being beaten passively.

He shook his head, "No." ”

"No, then why didn't you make friends of the opposite sex who were younger than you, all of them were women of the level of an aunt?" Gansu's tone became stern and cold when he said this, "I'm not a snobbish woman, I just don't want my daughter to be a non-human. ”

Guo Xiaozhou bowed his head and was silent.

Gansu slowed her voice, "You are a young man with a lot of potential. If you don't take a fork in the road, the height of the future may not be lower than climbing the high branches. ”

Drink first and then Huairou, Guo Xiaozhou estimated that she was about to promise benefits, if you leave our family Xiaoyi, what help will we give you, etc.

Sure enough, Gan Su changed his words, "I heard that you have some trouble with the matter of the expert group's review, and I can help you solve this trouble." ”

Guo Xiaozhou raised his head, "I can handle it myself." ”

"Think I don't have enough chips? Not only that, the Gan family can give you more, much more than you think. As long as you don't make things a problem. ”

"If you want money, I can ask someone to give you one or several foreign drug agency rights; I promise to get you to the right place within three years. ”

"Think about it, you are only 26 years old now, and in three years, you will be a 29-year-old young leader at the department level, and you can find any kind of wife."

Guo Xiaozhou's heart suddenly moved, if Gan Su really caught his pigtails, with her strong character, would she still use money and power to make a deal with him? She must have investigated. The investigation can only suspect the ambiguous situation between him and Xie Fuli, Zhu Ying, and even Sun Huimin, and there is no evidence.

Just imagine, even the people of the Commission for Discipline Inspection can only chase after the wind and shadows, and cannot sit on the evidence. No matter how great her ability is, she can't be sure. She threw such a thing out as a sword against him, and it could not stab him, but it would make him uncomfortable and cowardly.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had confidence, "Aunt Gan, I'm sorry, I can't give up Xiaoyi just because you don't accept me." First of all, I have to be responsible for her and bear the good and bad consequences she brings. And then then her family and her friends. As for the age of the opposite sex in my relationship, there are many coincidences, and there are also work relationships. If you want me to prove my age orientation, my mother has taken in a goddaughter named Chen Jingqiu, who just graduated from college this year. ”

Gan Su didn't seem surprised at all, if Guo Xiaozhou gave in so easily, then it was not Guo Xiaozhou as described in the information. There is a summary of Guo Xiaozhou in the investigation report, to the effect that this young man has a strategy that ordinary young people lack, some aspects are quite sophisticated, have clear goals, know what he wants, have a super enterprising spirit, act boldly and cautiously, ambitious, and in the choice of feelings and career, he must be the first in his career, not second.

Gan Su was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know what you like about Xiaoyi?" Her personality is not gentle, her temper is not good, and she is older than you, even if you can walk together, where the family rules of the old Song family are, she will never stand out for you, and the Gan family will not let you get your wish. ”

"So, your plan is actually a failure......"

"I'm not as despicable as you think, but I must admit that I can marry Xiaoyi, which will help me a lot in my career. It's human nature. ”

"I said you would be disappointed, the Song and Gan families will not give you any help."

Guo Xiaozhou said with a smile: "There are two kinds of help: active and indirect, and sometimes, indirect help is more effective than active help." ”

"You're very scheming." Gansu sighed, her expression showing regret, but there was still a glint of appreciation in her eyes. A man who can make the plan be above board, and even make her not disgusted when she listens, is indeed rare.

Gan Su's momentum weakened, and Guo Xiaozhou took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, "The evidence you put forward proves that our inappropriate point of view can only be attributed to one point, you have never been embarrassed to speak, my birth background is not worthy of Xiaoyi." You still follow the theory of descent in your heart, and the bloodline of your ancestors and elders determines the future and destiny of an individual. This kind of feudal thinking existed in the feudal social period of various countries. More than 2,000 years ago, Chen She, the leader of the peasant uprising, shouted to the sky: 'Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?' , which has inspired generations of aspirants living in the lower middle and lower classes of society. Including your forefathers. ”

Guo Xiaozhou pointed in the direction of Kyoto's West City, "Now some people of the most noble blood, seventy or eighty years ago, most of them were suffering in the middle and lower classes or even the lowest strata of society. ”

Guo Xiaozhou's counterattack can't be said to be not sharp, and his implication is that you are precisely the people who should not talk about blood. To interpret with the spirit of Ah Q, Lao Tzu's ancestors may not have been worse than your ancestors eighty years ago.

Gan Su smiled faintly, "The young man is strong-blooded, he can't rub sand in his eyes, and he has a gun, but he forgets that there is also a "rat thrower" principle of life. What you see in your eyes is all good, but in reality, what you get is always proportional to what you give. ”

Since Guo Xiaozhou opened the chatterbox, he said endlessly: "I have considered it all. The Song and Gan families are not the Zhao family, and the Zhao family has a once-in-a-century political genius, so Jin Yang is what you said, he married Zhao Doudou, but he just got what he deserved in advance, but it consumed the steps that he could have taken to the next level. And the Song and Gan families do not have such talents, I am a natural candidate, and I can fill the gap between the two families. ”

"Oh!" Gansu was very surprised, she didn't expect this young man to dare to say this to her, and he was very confident. Let's say that he is shameless, but he can't see any obscenity and vulgarity on his face, he actually interprets the conspiracy and tricks in a sunny and positive energy.

"You mean, it's not Xiaoyi that you fancy it, but the two families behind her?"

"No, don't get me wrong, I declare once again that I am not as vile and filthy as you think! I liked Xiaoyi first, and then I liked her family. This is not a contradiction. Let me give a simple analogy: a man marries a wife, and his wife's maiden family has nothing, and he still loves her and her wife's family. If the wife brings a large dowry from her mother's house, the groom, of course, will be happier, and if he says that I don't want anything from your house, what will you think? ”

Gansu looked at him with a strange expression, "Are you really only 26 years old?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou straightened his chest, "It's like a fake." ”

"It seems that I can't convince you. You are indeed a person who sees his goals and does not look back. ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled, "Actually, this is the most suitable situation, I met her at the lowest time, and she will be glorified for her choice for the rest of her life." ”

Gansu fell into a long silence.

It could be seen that she was starting to be a little confused and a little embarrassed.

In fact, she was still a little impressed by him.

At this time, there was a knock on Gan Ziyi's door outside, "Mom! Have you finished talking, it's time to start eating. ”

"Right away." Gan Su said outside the door, then looked at Guo Xiaozhou and said, "Today you are a guest for the first time, I might as well give you a piece of advice, when everyone says that you are smart, it is not a good thing, at this time, someone will take advantage of your cleverness, and someone will guard against your cleverness." ”
