Old Man Fang had just had breakfast at this time, and was standing in front of the big white tank in the yard to feed the fish, and when he saw Zeng Yi coming in, he withdrew all the fish food in his hand into the tank, then clapped his hands and said with a kind smile: "Zeng Yi is here, okay, good, talking in the house!" ”

As he spoke, Old Man Fang raised his hands behind his back and stepped into the room in front of him.

"Fang Lao's qi looks very good!" Zeng Yi smiled and followed in, and handed over the few gifts he brought to Fang Chenying.

Old Man Fang was very happy when he heard this, and said: "It's all thanks to the health preservation method you taught me, I feel a lot better in the past six months, and now these old guys in the neighborhood have to ask me for this maintenance method." ”

"As long as you are healthy and healthy, we work outside and have a bottom in our hearts." Zeng Yi said with a smile.

"Don't stand, sit down! It's home here, you're welcome! Old Man Fang smiled slightly, pointed to the sofa, waited for Zeng Yi to sit down, and said: "Eat at home at noon, chat with me, your Aunt Feng said that you like to drink soup very much, I have already asked the kitchen to make it." It's a pity that you came late, if it was a few days earlier, I would still be able to touch your Aunt Feng. ”

Fang Nanguofu came to Beijing to insert it, that is, for the son to give the former secretary of Zhichun Province to record Wu Yiling's funeral, and the old man Fang didn't know that Zeng Yi was in Zhichun Province at that time, and he still felt sorry in his heart, so he talked about it.

Zeng Yi said with a smile: "Some time ago, the Central Office organized veteran cadres to go to Nanjiang Province, and I thought that Elder Fang would also go over!" ”

Old Man Fang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You invited me, but I didn't agree, that's where Nanguo used to work, and if I go, it will definitely disturb everyone, it's not appropriate!" ”

"Then after the Xiaowushan Sanatorium is built, Elder Fang must go over to live and enjoy the blessings for two days." Zeng Yi said.

Old Man Fang led the way slightly, and said, "If you have this piece of filial piety, I will be very satisfied." ”

Today, Old Man Fang's interest was very high, Zeng Yi accompanied him to chat all morning, and finally helped Old Man Fang take the pulse and talked about some precautions in health care.

After lunch, the old man wanted to rest, Zeng Yi offered to leave, and the old man Fang did not keep telling Zeng Yi to finish his work, and then sit at home.

Fang Chenying sent Zeng Yi out and walked to the door, she suddenly said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”

Zeng Yi hesitated for a moment, and then reacted, Fang Chenying should be talking about Cui Enxi, but after thinking about it, he still said: "I heard Fang 'Shu's note's plan to let you work in the agency after graduation, what kind of unit do you like, I'll see if I can help!" ”

Fang Chenying knew that Zeng Yi was deliberately changing the topic, so she stared at Zeng Yi and said, "You know what I'm talking about!" ”

Zeng Yi stood for a moment and said, "If you see Cui Enxi, say hello on my behalf!" ”

"Why do you want me to come on your behalf, is it so difficult for you to say hello yourself?" Fang Chenying asked rhetorically: "Do you really plan to ignore Cui Enxi's affairs in the future?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled bitterly, Cui Eun-hee was grounded, everyone thought that Zeng Yi was the trouble, Fang Chenying and Cui Eun-hee were good sisters, she was upset with Cui Eun-hee, Zeng Yi could understand, but who could understand Zeng Yi From beginning to end, Zeng Yi never had any words and deeds towards Cui Eun-hee that exceeded the scope of friends.

It's just that something has happened, Zeng Yi doesn't want to defend himself, he said: "I think not contacting her will make her feel better!" ”

"She likes you, and that's right! Is it because of her family's opposition that everyone doesn't even have to be friends? Fang Chenying asked.

Zeng Yi asked rhetorically: "How likely do you think we are to be friends?" ”

Fang Chenying thought for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Cui Enxi is still in a stalemate with her family, looking at this, I am afraid that the chance of being an ordinary friend is very small, as soon as she stomped her foot, she returned home, and said Zeng Yi fiercely, "You are so ruthless!" ”

Zeng Yi didn't care, when such a thing happened, in the eyes of everyone, the mistake must be Zeng Yi's, ruthless or ruthless, Zeng Yi knew in his heart that he could do it, and when Fang Chenying walked in, he shook his head, got in the car and left.

The dinner in the evening was also arranged at the palace hotel where Zeng Yi first came to the capital, and Zeng Yi's friends in the capital were also limited, and he only made appointments with Zhai Haohui, Fang Chenying, Meng Qunsheng, and Du Ruo.

Du Ruo was the first to arrive, and came in and said: "You are still amazing, I have been in the capital for more than half a year, and I didn't even know that there was such a good place to eat!" ”

"I also came here with a friend!" Zeng Yi said with a smile that when he came to this place, it was arranged by Long Meixin.

After Du Ruo sat down, he put the things he was carrying on the table, which were two bottles of good wine, and he smiled: "Old rule, bring your own good wine!" I don't know how much everyone drinks tonight, I'll only bring two bottles, and I'll drink this first! 、。

Zeng Yi smiled, Du Ruo has always spoken very interestingly, obviously to inquire about who will eat with tonight, but what he said was wine, he said: "The main combat effectiveness tonight still depends on the two of us, Director Meng of the National Development and Reform Commission has an average amount of alcohol, and Fang Chenying's is even worse." ”

Du Ruo knew who was probably coming at night, how influential a real director of the National Development and Reform Commission was, Du Ruo was clear: as for Fang Chenying, not to mention, it was Fang Nanguo's daughter, Du Ruo had seen it once when he helped Zeng Yi to deliver things to Old Man Fang before, but he didn't have any friendship.

The two sat there and chatted for a while, Meng Qunsheng and Fang Chenying arrived, everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and sat down one after another.

Zeng Yi said at this time: "There is still a friend who has not arrived, I will call to urge!" ”

Meng Qunsheng waved his hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry to eat, I don't need to urge, let's sit and chat for a while, just wait for him!" ”

The other two also agreed, and everyone knew very well that this person who had not yet arrived was likely to be the son of the Zhai family, and they all said that the relationship between Zeng Yi and the son of the Zhai family was extremely iron, Zeng Yi was now in the capital, and Zhai Haohui had no reason not to come forward.

Zeng Yi had no choice but to give up and said, "Then wait a little longer!" ”

Meng Qunsheng asked at this time, "Did you come to the capital this time and contact Director Qin?" ”

Zeng Yi said: "Not yet, I just saw it in Nanjiang some time ago." "Director Qin is Qiao Lao's secretary Qin Yizhou, Zeng Yi's relationship with the Qiao family is far less close to the Zhai family and the Fang family, so when he comes to the capital, he usually won't go over to visit directly, and it depends on whether the opportunity is suitable or not.

Meng Qunsheng nodded and said, "I'll get in touch, and tomorrow the two of us will try to go to Xiyuan Villa." ”

Seeing Meng Qunsheng say this, Zeng Yi said: "Okay, listen to Brother Meng's arrangement!" ”

Du Ruo hadn't reacted to who Director Qin was before, and as soon as he heard about Xiyuan Villa, he understood that Meng Qunsheng was also looking for an opportunity to walk around in front of Qiao Lao more!

Everyone waited for less than two minutes, Zeng Yi's phone rang, picked it up and saw that it was Zhai Haohui calling, he picked it up, and said, "You have arrived?" ”

"Zeng Yi, is it convenient to speak? 、。 Zhai Haohui asked.

Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, then stood up, apologized to everyone, then picked up the phone and walked out, saying, "You say!" "I'm right next door to you!" Zhai Haohui said.

Zeng Yi was even more surprised, and said in his heart Zhai Haohui What is wrong today, it is strange to do things, but Zeng Yi didn't ask much, and said, "I'll find a chance to go over in a while!" ”

Zhai Haohui did not object, and said: "Okay! ”

Zeng Yi took the phone, but he still didn't understand what was going on with Zhai Haohui, since they had all arrived at the restaurant, why didn't they come to eat together, but instead opened another table in the courtyard next door, which was a bit strange.

Back in the house, Zeng Yi said: "You don't have to wait, the friend who didn't arrive called, saying that there was something wrong and he couldn't come for the time being." ”

"Okay, then let's start first!" Meng Qunsheng smiled again and said that Du Ruo was a little disappointed, and he still wanted to get to know Zhai Haohui, but unfortunately, his luck was not very good today.

Everyone ate and chatted, and after half an hour, Zeng Yi took the phone out of the house under the pretext of having a little thing to deal with, turned a corner, and entered the courtyard next door.

opened the curtain and went in, and saw that there were only Zhai Haohui and Xiaoxiao sitting inside, Zeng Yi asked, "Why don't you go over?" ”

Zhai Haohui said: "It's not very convenient! ”

Zeng Yi thought that it was inconvenient to smile and smile, so he said: "There are no outsiders, Director Meng of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Fang Chenying, you have all met ......before" When Zeng Yi said this, he looked at Xiaoxiao and nodded to the other party to say hello, but as soon as his eyes fell on Xiaoxiao's face, Zeng Yi suddenly stiffened.

Taking two steps forward, Zeng Yi sat down at the table, took a closer look at the smiling qi, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face, and asked Zhai Haohui sideways, "When is it?" ”

At this moment, the eyes of Zhai Haohui and Xiaoxiao both flashed with surprise, and Zeng Yi's gaze was too sharp, so he could see the clue at it.

Zhai Haohui held a teacup in his hand and said lightly: "You see it?" ”

"It's my old job! Does the old man know about this? Zeng Yi asked.

Zhai Haohui shook his head, then put down the teacup and said, "Tell me, with your understanding of the old man, if he knew about this, what would he do?" ”

Laughing and laughing, he also stared at Zeng Yi tightly, his eyes were full of nervousness, and his two hands couldn't help but clench together, and his fingers were red, but he didn't realize it.

This stumped Zeng Yi, he reached out and rubbed his nose lightly twice, and finally said, "What are your own plans?" ”

Zhai Haohui looked at Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao was even more nervous at this time, although she forced herself to look at a smile on her face, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, she wanted to know Zhai Haohui's plans, but she was afraid to know. Zhai Haohui saw it in his eyes, and finally frowned, and said, "What kind of person I am, you also know!" I won't talk about anything else, help me figure it out! 、。

With this sentence, Zeng Yi was easier to do, in fact, he had expected Zhai Haohui to say this, for a family like Zhai Haohui who wants to take over, it may not be a problem how many lovers there are in secret, but it is impossible for a lover to hold his handle, not to mention that it is a big handle that can't be hidden even if he wants to have a son, many people have to watch their lover eat contraceptive pills in front of them every time to feel at ease.

Zhai Haohui is not a fool, Sun Yi is a mistake that young people in literary and artistic society will not make, of course Zhai Haohui will not make it, there is such a situation in front of him, there can only be one explanation, that is, Zhai Haohui has true feelings for Xiaoxiao, he may have done it intentionally.

Although Zhai Haohui has suffered losses in this area before, and now he seems to be a lot more free, but in his bones, he still attaches great importance to affection.

Zeng Yi thought for a while and said: "The old man is not the kind of unreasonable person, hiding it is not a way, I think it is better to tell the truth!" ”

Zhai Haohui frowned slightly, it would be nice if things were so simple! Zhai Haohui is not a person who has no responsibility, nor does he dare to tell the truth, but he has lived under the power of the old man for a long time, and he has a strange feeling of fear of the old man, not to mention him, that is, Zhai Wanlin, as the deputy chief minister, sometimes has a feeling of walking on thin ice in front of the old man.

Before he fully weighed the pros and cons, Zhai Haohui would not easily tell the old man, because he couldn't guess what the old man's reaction would be after knowing this matter, and what actions he would take*.

Zeng Yi saw that Zhai Haohui didn't speak, so he said: "If it's inconvenient for you to speak, I can help you go and explore the old man's tone first!" 、。 Zeng Yi knew very well in his heart that some things were easy for Zhai Haohui, but some things, by himself, would be more convenient than Zhai Haohui himself.

"Are you sure?" Zhai Haohui asked.

"I can't convince you, but it won't be worse than the current situation!" Zeng Yi patted Zhai Haohui on the shoulder, "I'll try my best!" ”

This is also the advantage of Zeng Yi coming forward, with him as the intermediary, there is room for things to turn around, and if Zhai Haohui talks about it himself, once the old man opposes it, he will directly face the worst situation.

Zhai Haohui knew that Zeng Yi was not a person who made promises easily, since he dared to agree to do this. also said that the situation would not be worse, most of them were somewhat sure, Zhai Haohui also patted Zeng Yi lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Then I'll wait for your news!" ”

"When I go back, I'll do this first!"

When Zeng Yi said this, he glanced at Xiaoxiao again, Xiaoxiao was undoubtedly lucky, she met Zhai Haohui. Although Zhai Haohui is also a son of a family, he does not have the bad habits of a gentleman, if it is Chang Junlong, Sun Yi and the like, then the end of Xiaoxiao may be very miserable, there will be no love and righteousness in the eyes of that kind of person, only interests.

Looking at Zeng Yi with a smile, she knew very well in her heart that if this kind of thing was changed to someone else, she would definitely not help with this, because this is an internal matter of the Zhai family, and now I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, it is a very taboo thing for outsiders to interfere rashly, and in the end, no matter whether the result is good or bad, Zhai Haohui will definitely not have any trouble, but if it is not good, Zeng Yi, the middleman, will get in.

With Zeng Yi's mind, he naturally knows that this matter is very difficult to do, but Zhai Haohui didn't hide it from Zeng Yi even when he was pregnant, this is completely from Zeng Yi as a brother, Zeng Yi has to try it even if he is hard-headed, and it will not be beneficial for Zhai Haohui to drag on this kind of thing.

And Zhai Haohui can only rely on Zeng Yi, the situation of the Zhai family is very special, there are many children on the periphery, and the real bloodline is only Zhai Haohui, this kind of thing is said to be the best to go to Zhai Wanlin, an elder, but Zhai Haohui can't go to Zhai Wanlin, as long as he opens his mouth with Zhai Wanlin, this matter is likely to be no longer a secret.

In addition, the reason why Zeng Yi agreed to help this favor was also out of empathy, he and Zhai Haohui were just brothers and sisters, but Zhai Haohui still had his own help, but he didn't know who to find to help.

Zeng Yi is not worried about what Zhai Lao will do to him, the Zhai family owes him a big favor, even if things don't work out, Zhai Lao will no longer interact with him in the future, and take a step back, it will be a big deal for him to be Langzhong again.

"Didn't you say that you only arrived in the capital in two days, why did you get ahead of schedule?" Zhai Haohui asked.

Zeng Yi had nothing to hide, he took out his mobile phone, flipped out the strange text message, and said, "Look at this Mou!" ”

Zhai Haohui picked it up and looked at it, and his first reaction was the same as Zeng Yi's, and he said, "It's Meixin, right?" ”

Zeng Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know, no one answered the phone when I dialed it back." ”

Zhai Haohui said: "I blame me for this, I have been so anxious these days that I have forgotten to pay attention to Meixin." Maxim's went abroad the day before yesterday, and I only found out today! When did you receive this message? ”

Zeng Yi said: "The day before yesterday! ”

"That's right, it's probably Meixin!" Zhai Haohui said that he said that he forgot to pay attention to Meixin, but in fact, Long Meixin went abroad this time, and the Long family did not inform Zhai Haohui at all, Zhai Haohui only found out afterwards, but anyway, Zhai Haohui felt a little ashamed, so he took the blame.

Zeng Yi was a little silent, Long Meixin sent such a text message before going abroad, and her intention was very clear, she didn't want Zeng Yi to insist, but to tell Zeng Yi that she would insist.

After being silent for a long time, Zeng Yi said: "There is something, I want to ask you for help!" ”

"You say!" Zhai Haohui said.

"I want to take a trip to Long's house!" Zeng Yi said.

Zhai Haohui was a little surprised, but after a while, he laughed and said, "You are braver than me!" Okay, I'll accompany you on this trip! It's just that with my understanding of Director Long, I don't have much hope! ”

Since Zeng Yi has made this decision, that is, no matter what the result is, he will go to the Long family for a trip, so he stood up and said, "Then let's contact again!" I've got to get there, it's still waiting for me! ”

Zhai Haohui also stood up and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

"I'll be waiting for you right here!" smiled at this time.

Zhai Haohui nodded, and followed Zeng Yi out, what he said before was inconvenient, that is, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao suddenly became happy in the past two days, he knew that Xiaoxiao was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to take her over, if everyone saw it, let alone tell the old man the truth, you just want to hide it, and you can't hide it.

When everyone over there saw that Zeng Yi was coming back and there was one more Zhai Haohui, they hurriedly called the waiter to come in and wanted to remove the banquet and restart.

Zhai Haohui stopped everyone and said, "Don't be so polite, I've already eaten, I just want to drink two glasses of wine, just add me a wine bowl!" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the rumors were true, and the relationship between Zhai Haohui and Zeng Yi was indeed very iron, so according to Zhai Haohui's statement, they ordered a few new dishes and added wine glasses and chopsticks to him.
