Chen Tianyi and Lin Mo were playing in a private villa on the outskirts of the imperial city, and on the other side, in a room at the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Commission for Discipline Inspection, two old people were drinking tea and chatting.

If Chen Tianyi was here at this time, he would be very surprised to find that he knew both of them, one was Lin Zhenguo, who might be his grandfather in the future, and the other was Lieutenant General Kong Taining, who reached a cooperation intention with him.

When the two of them finished drinking the second pot of tea, Lin Zhenguo, who had been trying for a long time and couldn't find Kong Taining's intentions, finally said straightforwardly: "Old Kong, what are you going to do here today, let's talk about it, I have a lot of things on my hands now." ”

Seeing that Lin Zhenguo couldn't bear to speak, Kong Taining breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said secretly: "I finally spoke, it's easy to say now, it's not in vain that I wasted so much time drinking tea here." Speaking of which, Lin Zhenguo's kung fu is good, he wasted more than an hour drinking tea and chatting with me, and he didn't have a look of impatience. If I hadn't been prepared for a protracted battle before I came, and he didn't know what was going on, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to consume him today. ”

Although thoughts flew in his mind, Kong Taining remained silent on the surface. After gently putting down the teacup in his hand, he opened his mouth and said what he meant: "Lao Lin, in fact, I came to you today to tell you one thing, things are like this......"

A few minutes later, after listening to Kong Taining tell the ins and outs of the matter, Lin Zhenguo, who was still a little anxious before, instantly regained his composure.

Picking up the teapot on the table and filling his empty teacup with tea, Lin Zhenguo asked with a calm expression: "I know what happened now, so how do you plan to solve this matter in the Foreign Cooperation Bureau, or your General Political Department?" ”

"Ahem, well, because it's about your granddaughter. There is also Lao Li's grandson, so I plan to ask the two of you for their opinions, and then go back to the ministry to gather others to study the solution to this matter. Facing Lin Zhenguo's question, Kong Taining coughed lightly in embarrassment and thought about it. Let's be honest.

"My opinion, my opinion is what the law says to do, then what to do." Putting down the teapot and taking a sip of the cup that was already filled with tea, Lin Zhen said in Chinese.

Looking at Lin Zhenguo's appearance, Kong Taining could only say with a smile: "This old Lin, I know you have anger in your heart, but after all, this matter is just a jealousy between two juniors, so there is no need to make such a big fuss." I think Li Yan is just confused for a while. would do such a stupid thing, and now I guess I regret it in my heart. Otherwise, let him and Chen Tianyi apologize solemnly, and give Chen Tianyi enough compensation to reduce the turmoil caused by this matter, you see if it will work. ”

"I don't think it's okay? Lao Kong, did you ask the wrong person, and the person Li Yan wants to kill is not me. Why would you ask me, you should ask the person. If you want him to see if it works, it's really whether it will work. Gently shook the teacup in his hand, looked down at the broken tea leaves that kept rolling with the shaking, as if he was watching some wonderful show, Lin Zhenguo replied in the same tone. It's just that the sarcasm in his words can be heard even by a fool.

"Of course, of course. Chen Tianyi's opinion must be asked about this matter, but Lao Lin, you know that young people always have a big temper, and they don't know how to endure a moment of calm and take a step back to open the sky. So if you agree, can you persuade Chen Tianyi for me. Seeing that he had finally won the upper hand, he was pulled back by Lin Zhenguo in a few words, Kong Taining secretly complained in his heart, and at the same time, he could only continue to lower his body and admit it. No way, who let this matter not be on his side.

"It's a good thing that young people have a temper, it shows that they still have ambition in their hearts, and they haven't become cowards who will only be a turtle with a shrunken head, why should I persuade them, I should encourage them." The movement of shaking the teacup did not stop, the tone of speech remained unchanged, and Lin Zhenguo said without raising his head.

Seeing this, Kong Taining, who was completely out of line, said helplessly: "Hey, okay, okay, I admit defeat, I can't say you in the same way, and the truth of this matter is not on my side, so I'll spread it out." Lao Lin, Li Yan is Lao Li's own grandson, Lao Li and you may have been friends for decades, for the sake of a Chen Tianyi, do you really want to throw Li Yan to prison? Do you know that this will ruin the future of Li Yan's life. In the end, Kong Taining's voice was an octave higher.

After a pause, Kong Taining, who took a breath, looked at Lin Zhenguo, who was unmoved, and had no choice but to continue to persuade bitterly: "I know, Chen Tianyi is Lin Mo's boyfriend, but it's just a boyfriend, now it's not as good as our previous era, it's uncertain whether the two of them will get married in the end, maybe they will be separated in a few months." Tell me, is it worth tearing your face with an old friend for decades for such a person? ”

After Kong Taining finished speaking, Lin Zhenguo finally raised his head and looked at Kong Taining, who was staring at him. In the middle of the sound, since learning the news that Li Yan ordered someone to assassinate Chen Tianyi, Lin Zhenguo changed the tone of his voice for the first time, and said in a very high voice: "It's worth it, why not it's worth it, it's so worthwhile." It's just tearing up his face with Li Jianguo, not only can I get justice for my granddaughter's boyfriend, but I can also see Li Jianguo's true face, Kong Taining, tell me what is not worth it. ”

"Lin Zhenguo, ...... you" Seeing that Lin Zhenguo was so stubborn, Kong Taining stretched out his right index finger and pointed at him, thinking a little angrily

Speak for something. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Zhenguo.

Lin Zhenguo, who put down the cup in his hand heavily, stopped Kong Taining's words, and then said in a sonorous tone: "Old Kong, since you have opened the conversation, then I will not hide it." Li Yan is not your grandson, why did you come to intercede for him if you have nothing to do, to put it bluntly, aren't you worried that I will have to let Li Yan go to prison, which will affect my relationship with Lao Li, and even endanger my ascent to the top in eight years. So let me tell you, I am very unaccustomed to the status quo of many things in China, but there is nothing I can do about it, and I can only look forward to slowly changing in the next ten years, but at least I can still manage what is happening in front of my eyes. In a word, Li Yan must be punished by law. As for the relationship between me and Lao Li in the future, whether to turn around and become enemies, whether to continue to get along amicably, or to become strangers depends on Lao Li's choice. ”

"Hey, Lao Lin, why are you so stubborn. Lao Li, he is not a saint, you ruined the life of his own grandson, even if he doesn't hate you, he won't help you, don't you want to reach the top? What's more, the reason why Li Yan wanted to kill Chen Tianyi was for Lin Mo in the final analysis, can't you look at this point and raise your noble hand to let Li Yan go? Faced with Lin Zhenguo's stubbornness that should not appear in senior politicians at all, Kong Taining said helplessly.

"One thing is the same thing, Li Yan's dedication to Mo'er for so many years, of course I see it in my eyes, and I have always welcomed him to pursue Mo'er, but this does not justify his assassination of Chen Tianyi. As for reaching the top, of course I want to reach the top, but I went to the top to have the ability to change the status quo in China, and if I succumb to the status quo in order to reach the top, it is not putting the cart before the horse. Ignoring the helplessness on Kong Taining's face, Lin Zhenguo calmly said his decision.

Lin Zhenguo's stubbornness completely angered Kong Taining, he slapped the table in front of him, pointed at Lin Zhenguo and shouted: "Peng, you, you, you, Lin Zhenguo, I really don't know what to say about you, you really think you can change the status quo of China?" Do you really think you can wipe out the privileged class? If the person Li Yan wants to kill today is not Chen Tianyi, but just a random civilian, I won't tell you if I know it, that is to say, you can't know at all, this matter will definitely be settled by Li Yan with millions of yuan in the end, this is the reality, the reality that individuals can't change at all. ”

After listening to the two questions asked by Kong Taining in anger, as well as the realism he said, Lin Zhenguo shook his head and explained: "Your understanding is wrong, I have never thought about the privileged class, this is impossible in our time, although I am an idealist, I am not a dumbfounder." What I want to do is to change the status quo in China, including the fact that human feelings are higher than the law, including the housing prices that are about to skyrocket, including the lazy and tyranny of the local officials, which is what I want to eliminate. Li Yan's matter, it's just that I don't want to succumb to reality, otherwise my will will be bent, and even if I succeed in reaching the top in the future, I will do nothing. ”

"Because as long as I retreat once, when I put forward the corresponding reform plan after reaching the top, I will back down and compromise again in the face of pressure from top to bottom, and changing the status quo of China will become a loft in the sky, which is something I will never allow. In order to allow me to climb up without compromise, I don't know how many seniors who have the same idea as me have blocked many disasters for me, I can't let their efforts go to waste, let alone let them down, otherwise I won't be able to feel at ease in my life. ”

"Actually, to be honest, I am also surprised that I can climb to this position today, but since I have come to this point, whether it is accidental or inevitable or man-made or providential, I can't retreat and can only move forward. Lao Kong, your temper is very compatible with me, and the two of us have been friends for more than ten years, so don't do anything that makes me look down on you, otherwise we really won't be friends. Now, you know my thoughts, would you like to support me in your own thoughts? Of course, no matter what you choose, it will not affect our friendship. (To be continued.) )
