Chapter 104: Shocking
In many martial arts novels, it is the white-bearded old man who is more powerful, in fact, it is not the case at all, as people grow older, their body, endurance and explosiveness will weaken, and at the same level, the elderly will not be able to beat the young people no matter what, which is also the so-called boxing fear of being less strong.
Therefore, although Li Xiaoning went out to fight Zhang Yunpeng, he only used three points of strength, and they all followed Zhang Yunpeng's fist path and fist momentum to push the boat, and the two of them came and went, but they also complemented each other.
Although Zhang Yunpeng's body is very strong, after all, his age is there, and after a few rounds, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Li Xiaoning is not the kind of master who doesn't understand human feelings, no matter what Zhang Yunpeng Zhang said, he will definitely not be willing to lose to himself, so as soon as he sees this situation, he immediately accepts it, and with the momentum of Zhang Yunpeng's tricks, he quietly revealed a flaw, and was suddenly punched in the chest. He took the opportunity to take two steps back, clenched his fists and smiled respectfully, "Sure enough, the world's martial arts look at Shaolin, and the younger generations are ashamed of themselves!" ”
Li Xiaoning has actually seen that Zhang Yunpeng is a very strong and very strong old man, coupled with the fact that the other party has been in a high position for a long time, he has already developed the habit that others are not as good as him, and he is so humble and takes the initiative to admit defeat without revealing obvious "horses' feet", in order to save Zhang Yunpeng's face.
Although Zhang Yunpeng can't beat Li Xiaoning now, he is also a real kung fu, so he naturally knows that Li Xiaoning is giving himself face, and secretly says in his heart that this kid is on the road, he has the ability, but he can also know how to advance and retreat. He also followed Li Xiaoning's words, laughed, took the towel handed over by the staff, touched a handful of sweat, and then strode over and patted Li Xiaoning's shoulder, "Not bad, the basic skills of young people are very solid, rare and rare!" ”
The old leaders present also nodded their heads again and again, expressing their praise for Li Xiaoning. As the saying goes, people become good when they are old, which one of the old people is not a human spirit? Naturally, they all understand that Li Xiaoning deliberately lost to Zhang Yunpeng, in fact, this ending is not surprising, what is rare is that Li Xiaoning lost extremely artistically, he did not deliberately lose at the beginning, but fought dozens of faces with Zhang Yunpeng on an equal footing, and at the moment he lost in the end, it was not too obvious, at least the layman couldn't see it. This shows the foundation. They couldn't help but look at the old man Guan Pengju, with a slight hint of envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes. How could Lao Guan meet such a talented and sensible young man? And those juniors of their own are all interpreting the meaning of the gentleman's children to the fullest.
In this world, there are countless talented people, but talented but excluded people can also be seen everywhere. They have talent in their hands, just like having a famous sword, they have to brag about it when they meet people, and they wield it around in their hands, for fear that others will not know the amazing talent he has, and stupidly make themselves a live target that everyone wants to hit. They couldn't see the fire pit under their feet, so they fell into it without realizing it.
Talent is like a double-edged sword, it can stab others as well as yourself, so it should be used with caution and usually inserted in the scabbard. Many times, too much exposure will cause the villain's jealousy and framing. Anyone who does great things should practice the skill of "hiding and dewing". Hong Yingming said in "Caigen Tan": "There is nothing strange about the good things in the article, but just right." "The same should be true of the use of intelligence, for the best of its kind, just for the right time. When you are wise, you are wise, when you are stupid, you are stupid, and foolishness is also a kind of wisdom. When necessary, it is wise to pretend to be an "imbecile" and be a "fool".
Many depressed people have cried out in their hearts - why did I end up in poverty and nothing when I am so talented? What an injustice the heavens are!
Is the sky really unfair? No, it's because those people don't understand the basic human feelings. This qiē is all of their own making. When they are faced with a failure in life, should they reflect on themselves? Is it overdone? Is it in the eyes of no one, too prominent yourself, ignoring the feelings of others? Do you think you are so smart that others are stupid? If a person reflects on it in this way, he can find the crux of the problem, and then treat the symptoms, and after the epiphany is clear, he will truly mature!
There is a saying in the Western world: "The cleverness of the French is hidden, and the cleverness of the Spaniards is exposed." "The former is really smart, the latter is fake smart. In interpersonal communication, we must not be clever ourselves, but learn to be really smart -- we must not only know how to stretch but not know how to twist; I only know how to advance but not to retreat; I only know my own expression, and I don't know how to keep my eyes open. In this case, even if you are only eight buckets high, you will still be empty-handed.
After the etiquette is exhausted, the rest should be the private time of Old Man Guan and Li Xiaoning's grandson.
The moment he walked into his room, Old Man Guan's body suddenly trembled and staggered.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xiaoning hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Old Man Guan, and asked anxiously, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Should I call a doctor? ”
Old Man Guan's face was a little pale, and his breathing was extremely heavy, but he still shook his hand and said, "Don't call the doctor, I'll just rest for a while." It's nothing, it's just that the life span is almost up. ”
Li Xiaoning helped Mr. Guan to lie down on the recliner, and poured a cup of hot water for Mr. Guan.
Old Man Guan drank the water, and after a while, his face began to turn bloody again, and then said to Li Xiaoning: "Don't worry. Grandpa is old, and he is not tired anymore. ”
Li Xiaoning reacted at this time, Old Man Guan is standing up to pave the way for himself today. His old man's body actually couldn't bear the activity for such a long time, but in order to introduce himself to Zhang Yunpeng and the old leader, in order to make a deep impression in front of Zhang Yunpeng and others, Old Man Guan was fighting his spirit without showing a trace of fatigue.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he said with a slight choked voice: "Grandpa, actually...... In fact, if you are healthy, I am the happiest. ”
Old Man Guan said with a blank face: "Manly man, what are you crying about?" Don't cry. ”
Li Xiaoning hurriedly wiped away his tears and listened to the teachings of the old man Guan with grief.
Seeing this, Old Man Guan sighed and said, "Xiaoning." You don't have to be grateful to me, I didn't do it entirely for you, but also for me. ”
Li Xiaoning didn't speak, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, he knew that Old Man Guan would definitely explain why he said that.
Sure enough, Old Man Guan continued: "My own body, I know it myself. There are not a few days to live, and even if you can survive this winter, you won't be able to survive the next Spring Festival. ”
Li Xiaoning just wanted to open his mouth to comfort Old Man Guan, but was rudely stopped by the old man, "Don't talk yet, listen to me." ”
"Yes. Grandpa, you say. Li Xiaoning felt the anxiety in Old Man Guan's tone, so he didn't say anything else, and said with a resolute look in his eyes.
Old Man Guan took a pause, and then said: "I know my own situation, and some people also know it. Over the years, I have offended many people, many people with high status, and they did not dare to move, first, because they were afraid of me, and second, because the No. 1 chief trusted me very much. But now that they knew I was dying, they started to move. ”
"Grandpa, did you hear something?" Li Xiaoning frowned and asked.
"Huh. Have you forgotten what I do, grandpa? Old Man Guan said with a slight smile.
Only then did Li Xiaoning react, Old Man Guan was originally the former leader of the army's intelligence agency, and now although he has retreated into the background, it is easy for the old man to know any information.
"There have been some adjustments in the military recently." Old Man Guan said with a slight tiredness, "Xu Shancai was transferred to the Military Commission to be in charge of new equipment, saying that he would be promoted to general next year, but who doesn't know, this is deliberately driving him away and letting Liao Hui take the position?" ”
Li Xiaoning didn't care much about the affairs of the army, but because of the old man Guan, he also understood a little more, and the old man said that Xu Shan was his old subordinate, and he was also the person who replaced the old man as the head of the army's intelligence agency, and now he was transferred, and it was clear that he was starting to act against Guan Pengju's faction.
Old Man Guan sneered, and then said: "Wang Jun is also my proud subordinate, he is the deputy commander of the group army, he has a heavy army, they want to deal with him, but Wang Jun is very clean, they have been investigating for a whole year and have not found out that Wang Jun has the slightest problem, now it's good, I found an excuse to leak secrets, and I isolated people." ”
Hearing this, Li Xiaoning's expression also became solemn, he didn't expect that the struggle had reached such a fierce point. What he didn't expect was that Old Man Guan's next words were even more unexpected to him.
"Of course, Jianguo is also the target of their attention, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has received a real-name report about Jianguo." Old Man Guan sighed and said, "Jianguo has been an official who deals with money for so long, as long as he investigates, he will definitely be able to find out the problem." The reason why the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has not moved is just to take care of the face of an old man like me. I think that as long as I take a breath, that is when the founding of the country is investigated. ”
"This ...... It's unlikely, right? Li Xiaoning's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "That...... The No. 1 leader just let them go? ”
"It's hard to be the No. 1 leader!" Old Man Guan sighed and said, "You know that too." Since taking office, Chief No. 1 has been vigorously fighting corruption, and his attitude is very resolute. But in the fight against corruption, you can't just oppose your opponents, but not your own people, right? So, the investigation of the founding of the country is for sure. ”
Li Xiaoning was silent, he suddenly felt that he was so unfamiliar with officialdom, so strange that it was as if it was the first time he came into contact with officialdom. But before he could come back to his senses, Old Man Guan said another sentence that directly woke him up.
"Actually, I can accept all of this, and I don't plan to fight back against them, but they dare to attack you, so I can't bear it."
