On the evening of the second day, Xiao Ruo took two "military advisors" to visit Deng Gong, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up.

Although he was very puzzled and vigilant about Xiao Ruo's fellow disciple Bai Ze who suddenly appeared, Anthony still didn't say anything for Xiao Ruo's big event today, but he seemed to be more bitter in his heart.

And Xiao Ruo saw a person she would never have imagined at Duke Deng's place.

Xiao Wangshan.

Even if it was the first time she saw her, Xiao Ruo could easily recognize that the clear-looking and elegant old man beside Deng Gong was her grandfather.

They're a lot alike, that's what Alice said. Now that he has really seen it, Xiao Ruo found out that this is indeed the case.

Xiao Wangshan must have been a beautiful man when he was young, and even at his current age, he looked very outstanding. Compared with Deng Gong beside him, the aura of a superior on his body is not inferior in the slightest. However, the wisdom and calmness of Deng Gong is not comparable to Xiao Wangshan.

"Gong Deng, Old Xiao." Xiao Ruo took a deep breath and stepped forward to salute.

Xiao Wangshan felt a pain in his heart, this is his granddaughter, the only girl in the Xiao family's generation, even if he is cold and cold on weekdays, he is ruthless to political enemies, and even sacrifices a lot of things for the family. But when he heard Xiao Ruo call himself "Xiao Lao" in a voice without any emotion, he still couldn't help but regret it.

Seeing that the two of them, who were supposed to be relatives of the next generation, were stunned and didn't speak, Deng Gong didn't care, and greeted Xiao Ruo with a smile: "Speaking of which, your grandfather and I should be the same generation, so if you don't mind, right?"

Xiao Ruo had already calmed down. Laughing and shaking his head: "I'm flattered, of course I don't mind."

Deng Gong glanced at the two King Kongs behind her, and said with a smile: "Why, if you come to me today and bring a guard, isn't it an old man, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den?"

"Deng Gong is certainly the safest here, but you are not an easy person to deal with. If you're young and inexperienced, you shouldn't care if you ask someone to help, right?" Xiao Ruo said bluntly, the old man gave her a very good impression.

Deng Gong laughed and said to Xiao Wangshan beside him, "See? It's worthy of your child. A sentence that left me speechless when I was young. ”

Xiao Wangshan glanced at Xiao Ruo in a complicated way, and said to Deng Gong: "Deng Gong has something to discuss, so Wangshan will go back first."

"Okay, okay, you go quickly, I'm under pressure when you're here, and you grandparents can't handle it when they join hands with my old man." Deng Gong nodded and joked.

Deng Gong laughed. Nawangshan retired and came back to visit another day. Xiao Wangshan sighed in his heart and glanced at Xiao Ruo again.

"Xiao Lao walks slowly." Xiao Ruo hesitated, but still said.

When Xiao Wangshan went out, Deng Gong turned back to Xiao Ruo and said, "Girl, do you know why you Wangshan came to me?"

Xiao Ruo shook his head.

"He has come to beg me not to embarrass you. This Wangshan, when I was a bully of children. Deng Gong smiled helplessly and said to Xiao Ruo, "I know he came to me before you came." It may not be that he has a special intention for you to see, but with his personality, it is not easy to do this kind of thing. ”

Xiao Ruo smiled bitterly. She was shocked when she heard the first sentence, but later, she was full of disappointment.

If you really care about yourself, why do you have to mix in other things?

I could see the disappointment on Xiao Ruo's face. Deng Gong sighed and said, "Girl, don't blame your grandfather. I also know the rules of your Xiao family, although I don't agree with that kind of education, but you have to admit that your grandfather is an extremely competent servant of the people. In his position, the people of the Xiao family often do more than everyone else in their position. ”

After a pause, the old man continued: "I know Wangshan's character very well, I can't control the affairs of your family, your identity is very sensitive, with his usual caution, he will not come to me, but he is here, girl, I think you understand, he is your grandfather after all."

Xiao Ruo's heart was very confused, but Anthony and Bai Ze behind him coughed lightly at the same time, which made her heart take back, looked at the old man opposite, and smiled bitterly.

is worthy of Duke Deng, Xiao Wangshan should have gotten the news when he came here, so where did this news come from? The Yang family will definitely not say it, and she will not either, so it is very likely that she will get out of here.

And Xiao Wangshan came here, of course, for his own reasons, but Deng Gong also cleverly used this, which made Xiao Ruo confused, but fortunately, the two military divisions were there.

This also shows that the things that Deng Gong wants to talk about with her are not small, Xiao Ruo felt the pressure.

"It was rude to let Deng Gongjian smile, and he was distracted at this time." Those were all speculations, Xiao Ruo naturally didn't ask the old man why he disturbed his mind, but apologized.

Deng Gong praised Xiao Ruo and the two behind her in his heart, and did not mention what happened just now, and opened another conversation: "Young people have active thinking, this is inevitable, how can I blame?" And if you are the chairman of the Future Group and the head of the Langton family, the old man has a lot of things to ask you for. ”

Xiao Ruo was stunned, the head of the Langton family was fine, but she didn't expect the Future Group to be exposed, Deng Gong's tone was firm, and she admitted very shamefully: "When did Deng Gong know?"

The old man laughed and said, "Girl, surprised, right?" I got this news with great difficulty, you really surprised me, the assets of the Future Group are not worse than the Langton family, right?"

Xiao Ruo said modestly: "It's still far away, the Langton family is a big family with a long history, how can the development of the group in the next few years keep up?" It's only because of the light that takes advantage of the time that I earn a little. ”

"But it's more than a little, right?" Deng Gong said with a little meaning, "I still have to thank you for your investment in China, but you don't always care about the Li family's kid, other parts of the country also need to develop." ”

Hearing the Li family's boy, Xiao Ruo was a little embarrassed, she helped the Li family create political achievements, but as a result, her own people hit the Xingchen Club and put on a big oolong.

"What Deng Gong said is that I am also very optimistic about the market in Huaxia and will send someone to talk. But businessmen are profit-seeking. Deng Gong, don't blame me for being too capitalist. ”

"What about the capitalists? As long as it is good for the market economy and can invigorate the market, it can be used. Girl, you have been abroad for many years, do you have any thoughts on Huaxia at present?" Deng Gong asked.

"Not necessarily, only from a purely commercial point of view. There are indeed quite a few problems in the domestic enterprise system. I believe you have seen the current situation of state-owned enterprises, but I believe that you must have a solution, and I have not studied much in this area, so I will not say it to make you laugh. ”

Xiao Ruo stopped at the point. I can't say anything, so I just picked up one that has some relevance to me.

"The girl should be beaten, and she only half-cuts off my old man's appetite when she speaks. Can you say it, and think about it, what can be done? I know your concerns, go back and talk to Xinghong, your appearance really makes me feel like I am bullying children. Deng Gong didn't care about Xiao Ruo's painless answer, with his identity. This girl's performance is already good.

Xiao Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, she could say these things, but she couldn't say them in front of the old man, the old man had sharp eyes, but she was afraid that she would be seen something.

"Deng Gong's understanding, if you are grateful, there are new achievements in the Langdun laboratory recently, I hope that you can give me a few good plots of land in several production bases in Henan Province and Shaanxi."

Deng Gong's eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction: "The girl's mind is good." Knowing that the central and western regions could not develop, I thought of investing there. I thank you in advance, I've often heard about your lab, and it's all good. You can rest assured that the preferential policies that should be there will never be less for you. ”

"Then I'll thank you." Xiao Ruo said with a smile, "In addition, about the cooperation of desert plants. I'm sure Mr. Xia should have told you, right?"

"Guoqiang's fortunate guy, I've been a lot impatient lately." When Gong Deng mentioned Xia Guoqiang, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but Xiao Ruo could still hear the praise in his tone, "The credit for this time is not his." Lest he always weigh things up, some things can't be simply weighed. The old man sighed, then looked at Xiao Ruo, and said with a smile:

"Girl, what do you want? The country is lacking in everything now, and I know the results of your cooperation with OPEC, and the domestic oil resources are not abundant, so I can't give them to you. Something else, you can't look at. I must have desert plants, or do I want to take credit first?"

The old man winked at Xiao Ruo, and the Lai Pi in her words made her a little helpless and a little funny.

"This is my contribution to the country." Xiao Ruo really didn't think of what he wanted, smiled slyly, and followed the old man's words, "But you can't give it for nothing, then give it on credit, and then you will return to nine." ”

Deng Gong laughed and said: "You girl is very good at abacus, this is a loan shark." But if you pay on credit, you will pay on credit, and I won't ask you for nothing. You still have those in the Xinghong family, so I won't trouble them. ”

Xiao Ruo frowned, as if he was a little puzzled. Deng Gong caught a glimpse, couldn't help but smile, and explained: "The state has regulations for the children of cadres, you don't know it, right?"

"But I'm a dual national, and I'm in that range? And I'm with the Xiao family...... I have not yet recognized my ancestors. Xiao Ruo wondered.

"It's not a matter of absence, you also know the situation in China, there will always be people who make a fuss about this. I'm helpless, but it's okay to protect myself. As for your family, if you don't recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, your surname is still Xiao, do you think others will believe it?" It seems that Xiao Ruo really doesn't know much about this, so Deng Gong explained more.

Xiao Ruo also knew in her heart that it was difficult to say anything about the matter between her and the Xiao family, unless she changed her surname or broke off her friendship with the Xiao family, but this was impossible, what she promised Alice must be done. It was a dead knot, and she still couldn't find a way to solve it.

"I don't know if Gong Deng has a good way? To be honest, I really don't like the Xiao family, but ......" Xiao Ruo thought of Yang Bing and his father Xiao Lin, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Girl, do you want to exchange any conditions for irrelevance to the Xiao family?" Deng Gong hit the nail on the head, "You don't like the Xiao family because they don't treat you as a relative, right?" But if you also exchange things for them, what is the difference between you and them? Girl, family affection is not something that can be measured by anything. ”

The sentence "I ......" made Xiao Ruo speechless, but he quickly reacted, "But since they don't treat me as a relative, why should I be amorous?" I may not know much about what happened to Deng Gong, but I have written down your words, and I still need to think about how to do it. Xiao Ruo finally gave room for it. Because as the old man said, family affection cannot be measured by anything.
