The pale cyan dress, the glasses of the office girl with the iconic surname, the fiery figure, the flame that is about to burst out swells the upper circumference, and the silver high heels blend in with the simplicity of the house. is not inferior to Ding Ziyi's appearance, and is more mature and dignified.

Ding Ziyi is the snow lotus on the iceberg, she is like an orchid in a greenhouse, beautiful and vulgar. She walked softly to the old headmaster and shouted every day, "Grandpa! ”

The old principal's eyes showed doting, and he said happily: "There is no class today, Manyu?" ”

The girl didn't answer, but looked at Wu Ming, stretched out her little hand, and said, "Maggie Lee, hello." ”

"Wu Ming, hello."

The old principal said to Wu Ming: "This is my granddaughter, a teacher at Shanghai Jiaotong University. Work in ideological and political education. Her parents are both in New York, USA, and they live with me. ”

"What about him, your grandson of Grandpa Wu." The old principal smiled at his granddaughter and said, "Your grandfather Wu came here last year, and he helped your parents with the big things the year before last." ”

Maggie Li showed surprise, she figured out who Wu Gang was, and knew the strength of the Wu family, although it was low-key, but anything could be easily solved in his hands. Her parents worked in the news media and once offended the underworld. The underworld threatens revenge. The old principal has a wide range of connections, and he can't use his military background to settle down, so he has to ask Wu Gang for help. Wu Gang made a phone call at that time and solved it. This shows the horror of the Wu family's hidden power.

Maggie Lee's eyes were three points curious, the atmosphere was surprised, and she smiled: "You are also a student of Shanghai Jiaotong University?" ”

Wu Ming nodded. The old principal interjected, "Manyu, you go and prepare some lunch, and I'll have a few words with him." ”

After Maggie Lee went to the kitchen, the old principal said: "Manyu's cooking skills are first-class, and she has her grandmother's eight-layer skills. If she hadn't arrived, I would have had to go to the cafeteria. ”

Wu Ming continued to nod, poured tea for the old principal, and sat obediently on the side to listen to the training. No one who can get in touch with Wu Gang is simple. Under the benevolent appearance of the old principal, there may be something hidden in the old man's cunning, he has been in the officialdom for decades, and the peach and plum are all over the world, and the two celebrities who appeared at the opening ceremony are probably his students, otherwise they would not be on their lips.

"Are you used to living at school?" The old principal said kindly, "Living in a dormitory? ”

Before Wu Ming could answer, the old principal said again: "According to the tradition of the Wu family, Wu Gang will definitely not let you live in the school." ”

"My grandfather wanted to build a villa next to the school." Wu Ming smiled bitterly, "The style of the nouveau riche." ”

The old headmaster nodded, "He's always like to be high-profile." The same goes for your dad. What about you? ”

"I basically didn't have any contact with my family, let alone the resources at home. Because once I use my resources, I can't stand the terms and conditions at home. Wu Ming sighed.

The old headmaster snorted and said appreciatively, "You are very good. ”

"The old headmaster has won the prize."

The old principal talked about trivial things from beginning to end, Wu Ming's grades, living habits, and emotional world, just like his grandson. Wu Ming was asked in a cold sweat. The old principal was definitely not as restrained as he appeared, and he paid special attention to Wu Ming's emotional problems, and asked Wu Ming if he had slept with the girl.

The old principal's words and deeds, approachable, and dealing with people made Wu Ming feel that it was not the first time they had met, and his speech and demeanor were full of scholarly demeanor, which made Wu Ming have to admire.

Maggie Lee's craftsmanship is really good, a few simple home-cooked side dishes, very homely, but the whole interior is not very coordinated, but related to academics. The dining table was temporarily cleaned by the desk, and there were several archaeological books next to it, and it seemed that the old headmaster was quite interested in archaeology. Maggie Lee eats quietly and lovely, a typical image of a good girl, beautiful and delicious.

Wu Ming saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly, Maggie Lee can definitely kill many male compatriots in seconds outside, especially the innocent boys in the school. I believe her class will be full.

After the meal, Maggie Lee went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The old principal took out a pair of Go and said with a smile: "Listen to Wu Gang, do you know how to play Go?" ”

"A little." Wu Ming said embarrassedly, he couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, and he was eating and playing chess.

The old principal was not in a hurry or impatient, put on a good posture, held a white chess in his hand, and said with a smile: "Playing chess is like life, and you must take every step well." One wrong step, one wrong step. A master plays chess and sees the final outcome from the first step. ”

Wu Ming could only listen.

The old principal's decades of experience are child's play, and his face is serious, he looks at the chessboard seriously, and plays chess very quickly, without the slightest hesitation. Wu Ming looked a little clumsy in comparison. Wu Ming is eighteen years old, and although his mind is more mature than ordinary people, he will be a little hesitant to make decisions. is like pursuing Ding Ziyi, after Ding Ziyi refused, he had the idea of giving up in his heart, and when he encountered a scar, he had the heart to play, and in the end, he couldn't ask why. He could guess who was behind it, but he couldn't be sure.

"Playing chess is like life," the old school said solemnly, "You must be decisive in doing things, and you can't drag mud and water." ”

Wu Ming nodded after being taught, and quickly put down his son, and the top of his head had begun to sweat. The old principal calmly continued to play chess, and Wu Ming followed suit, completely passive.

"You can't look ahead and backward in chess, there will be risks," the old principal put down the white son on Wu Ming's left side and said with a smile, "Your level is good." But it's still not sophisticated enough. ”

Ten minutes later, when the old headmaster put down the last white seed, he laughed and said, "You lost!" ”

Wu Ming looked at the chess game in his eyes, and his heart suddenly shook, and the black and white words of the two intersected, forming a square, enveloping everything in heaven and earth.

"See?" The old principal sighed and stood up, "Life is like a well, and your vision is determined by the wellhead. No matter how big the wellhead is, it's just an inch of land. Do you understand? ”

Wu Ming took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Understood." I'm afraid the old headmaster means more than that. ”

The old principal nodded and said, "What are you going to do with the chess game so far?" ”

Wu Ming calmly stretched out his hand to the top of the chess game, and with a slight touch, all the chess pieces fell to the ground, and said lightly: "Break the rules!" ”

"Good!" The old principal laughed and said, "It is worthy of being Wu Gang's grandson, and he is as bold as he was back then." I believe that in another ten years, there will be another Wu Gang in the world. The waves curb the flying boat, and the middle stream hits the water, which means that it can be waited. ”

Who knew that Wu Ming shook his head and said: "I have no interest in becoming a person like Wu Gang, all I ask for is to have a clear conscience and think about something unfettered." ”

A flash of appreciation flashed in the old principal's eyes, and he said, "Under the rules of this system, not many people can get away with it, not even your grandfather Wu Gang. He still has a lot of scruples. ”

Wu Ming said calmly: "He can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't." I was 10 years old, and I still haven't used any of my family's resources, just to find another way. ”

The old headmaster shook his head and said, "Young man, what you think is too simple. Things in the world don't just do what you want. In the face of the state apparatus, everyone must back down. Even if you are a god, you are a demon. There are no surprises. ”

Wu Ming smiled: "I am neither a god nor a demon, but a demon." Rampant in the city, with impunity. ”

The old principal obviously didn't believe Wu Ming's words, and even if he did, it was too early to understand his current qualifications. It is good for young people to have confidence and, above all, to take action. If ordinary people, no matter how hard they work, they are just a well-off family. Wu Ming did not rely on the huge strength of his family, and he could not achieve anything in a short period of time. What's more, will he be able to rely on the strength of his family without relying on it?

Wu Ming and the old principal sat opposite each other, Maggie Li cleaned up everything, and made a pot of tea. She poured a cup for the old principal first, and then smiled at Wu Ming: "What major?" ”

"Financial Management." Wu Ming smiled, "It's really disturbing today. ”

Maggie Lee smiled sweetly and said, "I will come often when I have time in the future, I haven't seen my grandfather so happy for a long time." ”

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Definitely, the old principal has taught me a lot of life principles." ”

"He," Maggie Lee said with a smile, "when he's old, he likes to reason with people." My ears were calloused. ”

The old principal said unhappily: "It's up to you, you're twenty-eight years old this year, and you haven't married yet, which makes people feel worried." ”

Maggie Lee's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Grandpa, my feelings are in my own hands." Why do you care so much? ”

The old headmaster snorted, "So much? I don't care about you, who cares about you. Your parents have been in the U.S. and haven't been back for two years. ”

Wu Ming listened to the conversation between the two in embarrassment, got up and said, "Old principal, I should go." Thank you very much today, hehe. ”

The old principal nodded and said, "If you have any needs in Shanghai Jiaotong University, you can tell me." I can still do the Lord here. ”

After Wu Ming left, the old principal looked out the window and smiled. Maggie Lee helped him massage and said softly, "He, how is it?" ”

The old principal shook his head and said, "I can't see through it, I've been hiding my true thoughts, and I can't try it a few times." ”

Maggie Lee's heart shook slightly. You must know that the old principal is over the age of old, and the bridge she has walked is longer than the road she has walked, so it is natural to look at people. A young man who could make him unable to see through, she had hardly seen in her life.

"So what was Grandpa Wu's purpose in sending him to Shanghai Jiaotong University?" Maggie asked.

The old principal lowered his head and pondered, and sighed for a long time: "Wu Gang's thoughts, I have never guessed it, and I have rarely heard news since I withdrew from their group twenty years ago. I didn't expect Wu Gang to make Venus International so terrifying in just over 20 years. I was blinded back then. Wu Gang** started his business and is full of mystery. The state has always wanted to win over, but it has been turned away. He was silent for a while, and there should be movement. Wu Ming may be a touchstone for the Shanghai Sea. ”

Maggie Li said solemnly: "Do you want to inform them?" ”

The old headmaster shook his head and said, "Be improvised." Let's not rush to take sides. Drag on both sides first. ”

Maggie Lee said thoughtfully: "But what if the two sides don't please each other?" ”

"No," the old headmaster stood up, the old aura on his body suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep and restrained Confucianism, looking out the window at the floating clouds, "Just stand in line at a critical time." I'm old and don't want to get involved in their struggles. ”

Wu Ming pushed his bicycle and walked in the shade of the tree, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said secretly: "What an old fox." If I hadn't been shrewd and capable, I would have been bluffed by him. It's not simple, this old principal, the aura on his body is really terrifying. It's all as good as my aunt. ”

The breeze moved lightly, and the floating clouds in the sky fluttered, strangely forming a square, which shrouded Wu Ming's head. And Wu Ming walked with his head down unconsciously.
