Zhang Daguan never dreamed that the intimate communication between the two of them was in this way, that night Zhang Yang took Qiao Mengyuan to the villa borrowed from Liang Chenglong, Chu Yanran just left, the house didn't care about going back, there was another one here, when she came here with Qiao Mengyuan, Qiao Mengyuan was drunk and unconscious, Zhang Daguan waited for her to wash her face, hands and feet, and sent her to the bed, so that she could take a good bath

Zhang Yang cleaned himself well, changed into pajamas and returned to Qiao Mengyuan, seeing Qiao Mengyuan rolling from the bed to the ground, Zhang Daguan shook his head helplessly, hugged her back, poured a glass of water for Qiao Mengyuan, hugged her on the shoulder, and fed her a few sips.

Qiao Mengyuan whispered, "Am I drunk?" ”

Zhang Daguan smiled and said, "No, how can you Sister Qiao get drunk?" ”

Qiao Mengyuan hugged his arm, and soon entered a sweet dreamland, Zhang Yang just lay beside her, listening to the falling snow outside, but it was difficult to calm down for a long time in his heart, this recent time, whether it is for the Qiao family or for Qiao Mengyuan, it is undoubtedly the most difficult moment, Qiao Pengju is suspected of a number of economic crimes, and the trouble is that these things happened in Xiangyangang. The Qiao family's political rival Li Yan used this opportunity to make trouble, making Qiao Zhenliang's proud career embattled. And Qiao Zhenliang and Meng Chuanmei's marriage also came to an end at this time, with internal and external troubles, even if he was as strong as Qiao Zhenliang, he had to go to Jingyan City to ask his father for advice

For Qiao Mengyuan, a young girl, everything that happened became a heavy burden in her heart. All Zhang Yang can do is to enlighten her and protect her as much as possible.

The snow in the Dongjiang River is full of gentle breath, this night, it is also snowing in the city of Beijing, the north wind is howling outside, and the interior is as warm as spring, but Qiao Lao's face does not have the slightest warmth, and the deep eyes under the gray eyebrows are always staring at the blazing fire in the fireplace.

Qiao Zhenliang sat next to his father, there were only him and his father in the huge house, his father's expression was very cold, but he was cold, he had never been so disheartened after so many years in politics.

Qiao Lao said in a low voice: "What happened to you and Xiao Meng?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Since she is dedicated to the Buddha, I will let her go." ”

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I don't want you to worry about it all the time!" Qiao Lao sighed and said, "I also thought I wouldn't worry about your affairs anymore." ”

Qiao Zhenliang's face was ashamed, and his father's words were full of disappointment. "Is there any news of Pengju?"

Qiao Zhenliang shook his head: "He has been connected with Mengyuan, and now there should be no personal danger." ”

"Young and impulsive, only the good is the picture, short-sighted" Qiao Lao gave Sun Yanzi a series of definitions, and there was not a good word. Qiao Zhenliang said in a low voice: "Blame me for neglecting to teach!" ”

"After the accident, no matter how well the review is done, it will not help."

"Pengju was designed by someone!"

Qiao Lao said indifferently: "So what's the matter?" Skills are not as good as others? Seeing the bait and pounced on it without thinking about it, he was an adult and should be responsible for his actions. ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Before coming, I had a good talk with Kong Yuan. ”

Qiao Lao didn't speak, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands on his knees and closed his eyes, this is the qi cultivation method given to him by Zhang Yang, Qiao Lao has recently developed a habit, he will practice whenever he has time, of course, now is not a good time to cultivate qi, he just uses this posture to make himself more comfortable.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "He openly challenged me at the Standing Committee, and someone instigated him behind his back, and he said that it was Wen Guoquan. ”

Qiao Lao said: "Did you grab any trick from Kong Yuan?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang nodded, he didn't hide it in front of his father.

Qiao Lao said: "Kong Yuan has a lot of problems, you can grab his handle, others can also grab his handle, make people succumb to your threat, how credible is the thing you say?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Originally, the first person I thought of after this incident was Wen Guoquan, but when Kong Yuan said this, I didn't believe it. ”

Qiao Lao said: "Zhenliang, have you ever heard the story of the brother hunting geese?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang nodded: "Dad, do you doubt ......?"

Qiao Lao said indifferently: "There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in politics, the only thing that can achieve unity is the common interest, I don't know why they do this, but I understand one thing, we have to make concessions." ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Concessions? ”

Qiao Lao said in a low voice: "Peng cited such a thing, you can't escape the blame as a father, it's time to give up Pinghai's position." ”

Father's words were like a heavy blow to Qiao Zhenliang's heart, he had just lost his family, but now he was going to lose his career? Qiao Zhenliang slowly shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm not reconciled to ......."

Qiao Lao said: "If you don't quit, Pengju's matter will not be solved, and our Qiao family will not avoid the responsibility he should bear, but some of them are forced by others on his head, and their purpose is to force us to make concessions, only if we give in, can we solve Pengju's troubles." ”

`

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Why are they targeting me? ”

Qiao Lao slowly opened his eyes, and his deep eyes revealed a wise light: "The purpose of joining forces is to win the greatest benefit, maybe others find a more favorable partner to work with, or others see a threat from you." When he finds that he can't achieve the greatest benefit in us, he chooses to take the lead, and the person who starts first will always take some advantage. ”

"Dad! If I choose to back down this time, won't I have no chance in the future? ”

Qiao Lao looked at his son, it seems that his son still hasn't fully gotten his true meaning in politics: "Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, but the premise is that if you are a green mountain, Pengju is my grandson, I can't care, any concession in politics is for the next better counterattack, and the conspiracy will leave a flaw at the same time, and the more you play, the more flaws there will be." ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Pinghai was handed over to Song Huaiming like this?" ”

Qiao Lao said softly: "Huaiming is a person with lofty political ideas, often such people are the real pillars of the country, you like to keep a back hand when you do Xu Shi, your desire to control is very strong, such a person is easy to arouse the vigilance of others." ”

"Do you have to go back?" If people only know how to blindly move forward, the final result is either falling off the cliff or falling into the sea, this is not retreating, this is called avoidance, others punch you, you don't fight back, although you have the ability to make him hurt, in this way, his psychology will be more uneasy, he will worry, you will rush up anytime and anywhere to retaliate against him punch. ”
