After chatting with Liuli in her office for a while, Duan Long looked at the time, Liuli was almost time to get off work, and the two of them left the school and drove out to eat. Thinking about helping Teacher Fang's boyfriend get promoted just now, Duan Long thought of the hardships of two outsiders who came to Juhai to work. And he thought about it, and for some reason he thought of the brother he just met some time ago, Xiao Huang.

When Ye Ji took the Longmen Venerable Envoys to retreat that day, Duan Long had made a new friend around the Longmen Community, and that person's name was Xiao Huang. He and his girlfriend are not natives of Juhai, but the two of them should still be working hard here. At that time, Duan Long wanted to invite Xiao Huang to join Longmen and do a great career with Duan Long, but Xiao Huang refused.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why Duan Long admires this person. This Xiao Huang is a very backbone person, so he feels that Duan Long saved him, helped him, and looked up to him so much, then he couldn't let Duan Long down. If he just started in Longmen, he would not be able to help Duan Long, let alone repay Duan Long's life-saving grace in his lifetime, so he decided not to join Longmen and go to make a career by himself. And when he has a successful career, strength, and power to be Duan Long's brother, he will come back to Duan Long.

Later, Duan Long saw that he was so insistent, so he agreed to him, and then secretly sent people to watch him, and it turned out that this Xiao Huang had started with the He family who had harmed him at that time, and he had been receiving these forces step by step. And every time he relied on Duan Long's help, but his own strength, relying on his own pair of fists, he could be regarded as fighting hard to create a situation.

However, the strange thing is that for some reason, just a few days ago, there was no news of this Xiao Huang, as if he had evaporated from the world. Including his girlfriend Xiangxiang, I don't know where he went. Duan Long once sent someone to his hometown to inquire, and it turned out that his girlfriend Xiangxiang did come back, but he didn't. And no matter how you ask, she won't say Xiao Huang's whereabouts.

But fortunately, Xiao Huang handed over all the money she earned here to Xiangxiang, and after she brought it back, her family saw it and didn't force her to go out on a blind date to marry. And Xiangxiang insisted that Xiao Huang would definitely come back to marry her, and the family was afraid that something would happen to her if they pushed her too hard, so they thought about waiting and seeing, and after a while, if this Xiao Huang really came back, it would be a good thing.

And since then, Duan Long has no news of this Xiao Huang. However, in Duan Long's opinion, it is impossible for a person like him to seek death, and he will not give up his ideals after encountering a little setback. Since he had the courage to give up everything he had gained in the Giant Sea, it meant that what he was working on now must be something more important, or more ideal, so all Duan Long could do was pray for him.

But a good man has ambitions in all directions, when Duan Long was away from home for ten years, has it changed dramatically since he came back? So Xiao Huang can have goals and motivation now, which is a good thing. And sitting in the car and looking at Duan Long's appearance, Liuli also saw that he had something on his mind, and after a moment of silence, he coughed lightly, and then asked, "I ask you, big brother, can you not think about your confidantes when you go out on a date with me?" ”

Listening to Liuli's words, Duan Long came to his senses, smiled helplessly, and then said, "Xiaoli, how can there be so many confidantes for me to think." I was thinking about Mr. Zhang, and when I went to visit him today, something happened that I couldn't figure out for the time being. ”

Hearing Duan Long say this, Liuli then remembered, by the way, Duan Long came to the school today to see Zhang Lao, so what was the result? Hearing that Duan Long happened to mention this matter now, Liuli opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, I haven't had time to ask you about this matter, how about it, is the meeting with Zhang Lao going well today?" ”

"Is it going well? Hum. ”

Listening to Liuli's words, Duan Long just chuckled and didn't make any explanation. Listening to his laughter, Liuli frowned, thinking that today's visit was very unsuccessful, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Zhang Lao is not satisfied with you?" Or does he not want to forgive you? Although there is no intersection between you and Zhang Lao, the connections that Zhang Lao has should have been fought for by you, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, hey, what should I do. ”

Listening to what Liuli said to himself, Duan Long smiled helplessly, and then said, "What should I do?" What did I say, Xiaoli? Oh, don't think about it, I just want to say, Don't say that Zhang Lao is satisfied with me, it should be said that he is so satisfied that he can't be more satisfied. Do you know, the two of us are now Zhang Lao's closed disciples. ”

"What! What nonsense are you talking about? Drink too much, right? Why are you closing the door? ”

Listening to Duan Long's unexplained popping up such a sentence, Liuli naturally couldn't understand it. And Duan Long listened to her words, smiled helplessly, and then said, "You know what I was thinking just now, right?" Seriously, I'm in the same mood right now as you are. I don't really understand what Zhang Lao means, but Xiaoli, I didn't drink too much, I didn't joke, and it was impossible to talk nonsense about this matter. Today, just now, Mr. Zhang really took me as an apprentice. ”

Listening to Duan Long say this, Liuli was naturally unacceptable for a while. You know, Duan Long came to Juhai High School today, but he wanted to apologize to Zhang Lao, but why did he become his student inexplicably? And I'm afraid I can't understand who this is talking to, right? You know, how many people want to become Zhang Lao's students, Zhang Lao will politely refuse, Duan Long is a mercenary king, and now he is a person who is involved in the underworld, how can Zhang Lao accept him as an apprentice?

Thinking about these things, after pondering for a while, Liuli frowned and said: "Elder Zhang never does impulsive things, so it should be explained that he will accept you as an apprentice today, this is not today's decision, it must be something that has been decided a few days ago, or even longer." But it's so strange, what is the reason for Zhang Lao? ”

Listening to Liuli ask about this, Duan Long told Liuli what happened at that time and Zhang Lao's reasons. And Liuli finished listening to what Duan Long said, his brows furrowed closer, and after being silent for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "In other words, not only you, but even I am a student of Zhang Lao now?" And it's because you told Zhang Lao? It can be seen that Zhang Lao is not an ordinary favorite of you. Hey, I said Duan Long, you go back and ask your uncle, is it that your family didn't have the surname Duan, in order to hide the family's back, Jing Cai called it that? ”

Listening to Liuli's joking words, Duan Long scolded with a smile, "you", but he could also understand in his heart that whoever he changed, I am afraid that Zhang Lao would think that Zhang Lao was his Duan Long's own grandfather. Because unless it is this kind of relationship, it is really difficult to explain Zhang Lao's behavior. And Duan Long sighed helplessly after pondering for a moment, and then said: "Hey, to be honest, I can't figure it out now, you said that Zhang Lao accepted me as an apprentice, I already don't understand it, why do you agree so much with my words?" You also know Zhang Lao's temper, he never accepts apprentices casually. In fact, the reason why I mentioned your matter today is because I also want to build this relationship for Haiguo, and secondly, I just want to test it and see what the bottom line between Zhang Lao and me is. I didn't try it out, did I? Didn't you say that Zhang Lao no longer accepted apprentices? Doesn't it mean that his standards for accepting apprentices are very strict? What, didn't you just casually accept two apprentices today? I really don't know whether to be happy or sad now. ”

Hearing Duan Long say this, Liuli fell silent and thought about it for a while. And she pondered for a moment before she spoke, "I should say that you should still be happy." Anyway, Elder Zhang has already accepted you as an apprentice, and he has promised you to hold a public apprenticeship ceremony, which means that he really recognizes you as an apprentice, which is of course a good thing, a great thing. I'll tell my dad in a while, this time it's really a blessing to you Duan Long, and there is such a good thing. My dad will be thrilled to find out. ”

Hearing Liuli say this, Duan Long pondered for a moment and then muttered, "But"

"But this matter is strange, so you can't rest assured, right", listening to Duan Long's unspoken words, Liuli nodded with a chuckle, and then said: "It doesn't matter Duan Long, if it's someone else, forget it, this is Zhang Lao, you know his old man's reputation better than me, so since it's him, then you don't have to worry." It can only be said that the reason he said today is definitely incomplete. There must be something else going on between you, but on the whole, it shouldn't be a bad thing. ”

Listening to Liuli's analysis, Duan Long nodded after pondering for a moment, then laughed and said, "Listening to your words, it's better to read a book for ten years, okay, Madame's analysis is reasonable, then I won't worry." Hey, today is indeed a happy event. Okay, I'm in for a treat, let's eat well. ”

"Oh, let me please at the beginning of the co-authorship? Duan Long, Duan Long, you can really do it. ”

The two of them talked and laughed, and after a few intersections, Duan Long stopped the car and took Liuli to a restaurant. And the two of them haven't eaten together for a long time, and there is a happy event coming today, so the two of them talk a little more. And after they finished eating, Liuli suddenly thought of something, so she asked, "By the way, listen to my father, you seem to have gone to my uncle today, right?" And told him that you were going to form an alliance and not let him make a fuss about the Mo Dynasty? ”

Hearing Liuli mention this, Duan Long nodded after pondering for a moment, then sighed lightly, and told Liuli what happened. Listening to Duan Long's words, Liuli nodded, and after he finished speaking, he said, "You have your own principles to adhere to, so work hard for your principles." As for my uncle's side, all I can say is that I can't help it. It's up to you to talk about my dad and my uncle. But Duan Long, as long as it is something you have identified, just work hard to achieve it, no matter what the result is, I will support you. I know that you are a principled person, and a person who has no commitment and does not know how to keep his promises, and I, Yang Liuli, look down on him. So keep it up. ”

Hearing that Liuli actually supported his own approach, Duan Long was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "This kind of persistence is actually a bit silly, but what I'm curious about is, Xiaoli, why do you support me?" Haven't you always been rational? I thought you'd scold me for that. ”

Hearing Duan Long say this, Liuli sighed lightly after a moment of silence, and then said, "First, as your girlfriend, as long as you don't do something very excessive, I will support you." People, while they are young, they should work hard according to their own ideals and the people they want to strive to become. As long as you can't fight to the death, you should keep fighting. So you stick to your own principles and do things, I don't have any reason to persuade you? And this time is different from the past, Duan Long, to be honest, the reason why I support you is also very important, that is, because you now have the ability and connections to form an alliance. ”

Hearing Liuli say this, Duan Long pondered for a moment before chuckling and nodded. That's right, if you want to form a force and alliance, strength is one thing, and connections are also very important. Otherwise, you have no power, and others just don't want to ally with you, what can you do? You can't slaughter them all, can you? And this is why Duan Long will pull Huang Fu Xiao. Compared with strength, Duan Long valued Huangfu Xiao's network power more.

And at this moment, what Liuli refers to is different from the past, in fact, it means that Duan Long is now a student of Zhang Lao. In addition, Zhang Lao seems to have a great preference for Duan Long, so if Duan Long is willing, as long as he raises his arms and uses Zhang Lao's reputation, he can actually form a decent alliance within a month. And his group of senior brothers will definitely take good care of him, a little junior brother.

However, listening to Liuli's words, after Duan Long pondered for a moment, he shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "Do you know Xiaoli, in fact, I don't want to openly worship my teacher. So you don't even want to say the one you're trying to say. ”

"What? What do you mean? ”
