The furnishings in Guan Pengju's study are simple and elegant, and they are not as magnificent as Li Xiaoning imagined. It's just that simplicity is also a kind of sublime, every corner and every object in this room is full of luxury and atmosphere.

After entering the study, Old Man Guan slowly sat down on his Taishi chair, and then motioned for Li Xiaoning and Guan Jianguo to sit down as well.

Li Xiaoning sat down on the sofa according to his words, facing the pillar stone of the country in a high position, he did not feel like a pins and needles, like walking on thin ice, but could clearly feel the love and care of the elders, of course, there are also elements of consideration in it, but Li Xiaoning still seemed very relaxed.

Guan Pengju looked at Li Xiaoning, who was sitting there quietly, turned his head to Guan Jianguo on the side and smiled: "Look at the posture of this child, just with softness, softness with rigidity, and it will become a great weapon in the future!" ”

Guan Jianguo said with a smile: "Xiaoning is good, I asked people." Pingshan Town, where he is located, is one of the poorest towns in Binhai City, and it has been poor for decades, and it has not changed. But in just a few months after Xiaoning took office, it has changed a lot, the highway has been built, various investment promotions are also progressing steadily, and more importantly, the people have a high evaluation of Xiaoning. ”

Guan Pengju nodded and said, "This is the person who can really become a great weapon." Only officials who can really make the people live a prosperous life are good officials! Only such a person is worthy of being an official and a great official......"

Li Xiaoning couldn't imagine that Old Man Guan had such a high evaluation of himself, so he hurriedly said with trepidation: "Grandpa, you praise me too much, I actually didn't do anything......"

Guan Pengju said with a smile: "Xiaoning, being modest is a good thing, but you should accept your own achievements calmly." By the way, I heard that Lin Guodong wants to recruit you as a son-in-law, let me tell you that this is not good, you are married to our Arlinn, how can you marry a woman from another family......".

Li Xiaoning was sweating profusely, when he was outside just now, the old man still pretended not to know anything, and the old man had already figured out his bottom clearly.

Guan Jianguo was also stunned when he heard this, he had mentioned the matter of baby kissing with Li Weijie back then, but after so many years, the identities of the two families have become bigger and bigger, and no one has mentioned this family affair for a long time. What does the old man mean by bringing it up solemnly today? Do you really want your daughter to marry this poor boy who has no power and no power?

How does Guan Jianguo know what Old Man Guan thinks? Seeing that he was going to meet Marx, Guan Jianguo's career was basically at its peak, and it was very difficult to take another step. Grandson Guan Peiyu is an unsuccessful person, and even if he can change it later, his age is too young, and he probably can't wait for the time to help him. If you want to keep the status of the Guan family, you must cultivate a person of your own before you still have energy. Then it's up to her granddaughter Guan Yalin to make an idea.

Li Xiaoning sat in the position of Zhengke in less than a year without any external force, and he wanted to have political achievements and reputation, if the Guan family gave him a certain amount of help, he would definitely become a new star in the political circles. The revival of the Guan family has also been settled.

Old Man Guan continued: "And those two women of yours, they must also be properly arranged, especially that Tang Wei, her background is not good." Your status is not high enough now, and it is easy to be criticized and used to make a fuss in this regard...... "Old Man Guan's words simply made Li Xiaoning feel terrified, do you still have any secrets that Old Man Guan doesn't know?"

Li Xiaoning didn't know that although Old Man Guan was retired, his energy was still there, if he wanted to know, what color Li Xiaoning wore every day would be reported to him. However, the matter involved Tang Wei and Cheng Xiaoxi, so he had to argue, and said firmly: "Grandpa, Sister Wei is kind to me, I will not do anything to be sorry for her." Even if I don't become this official, I will never abandon her! ”

Guan Pengju glanced at Li Xiaoning deeply, shook his head and said: "You are really an amorous seed, excellent men always have endless romantic accounts, but you can attach so much importance to her, it also shows that you are not a merciless person, this is very good, a man is to dare to act!" Don't worry, I'm not asking you to abandon Tang Wei, I'm just letting you make proper arrangements...... The only person you can marry in your life is Arlinn......"

Li Xiaoning couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this old man Guan cared about himself a little too much, right? Do you really think of yourself as his own grandson? Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Grandpa, thank you for looking up to me, but the matter of feelings still depends on the wishes of both parties......

"You don't have to worry about Arlinn's side." Guan Pengju said undoubtedly, "What I said to her father, she didn't dare to disobey!" ”

Li Xiaoning said in her heart, do I care if Yalin is willing? The problem is that you don't always ask me if I want to? But after thinking about it, it is understandable that Mr. Guan didn't think about this problem. Give it to someone else, if the founding fathers are in a hurry to marry your only granddaughter to you, a fool will not agree. It is estimated that according to Guan Pengju's understanding, it is absolutely impossible for Li Xiaoning not to agree.

But Li Xiaoning didn't want his marriage to be tied together, so he said euphemistically again: "Grandpa, let's wait for me to get in touch with Arlinn, this matter depends on fate." ”

"Well, the two of you should get close to each other first, and it's good to cultivate a relationship." Old Man Guan didn't hear the refusal in Li Xiaoning's words.

Guan Jianguo had already understood Old Man Guan's intention at this time, so he said, "Dad, did you transfer Xiaoning to Beijing first?" ”

Guan Peng glanced at Guan Jianguo, ignored him, but stood up, walked to the window, pointed to a banana tree outside and said, "Who planted this banana outside?" ”

"It's poetic!" Guan Jianguo replied honestly, he didn't understand why the old man was talking about Li Xiaoning, and suddenly turned to the banana.

"If you don't adapt to the water and soil, no matter how well you take care of it, you'll be sick, so let's find someone to pull it out another day." Guan Pengju's voice was gentle but powerful.

Li Xiaoning listened carefully, and his heart moved. He is an extremely smart person, he knows the meaning of the piano when he hears the strings, and faintly hears the meaning of Guan Pengju.

"Do you understand what Grandpa means?" Guan Peng's eyebrows raised and he stared at Li Xiaoning.

"Understood. My sky, out there! Li Xiaoning's voice was slightly emotional.

"Okay." Guan Pengju nodded with satisfaction, "It is a blessing for young people to endure hardships, and only when they endure hardships can they become masters!" ”

Guan Jianguo couldn't help frowning, "Let him nest in such a small place, when will he come out?" ”

Guan Peng waved his hand and said: "Xiaoning's political achievements and abilities are there, what is lacking is qualifications and vision, if he is transferred to Beijing now, there is not much room for growth, it is better to have more experience and experience at the bottom." Of course, it is also necessary for us to give Xiaoning some help at the right time. ”

Li Xiaoning's mind exploded one after another, he didn't expect Guan Pengju to value him so much, and he had already helped him plan his future development route, didn't it mean that he would have smooth sailing in his career in the future? Of course, this also means that his every move will be under the attention of the Guan family, and he must be more cautious, otherwise Guan Pengju will lose patience.

Li Xiaoning's whole mind was clouded, and he couldn't digest this amazing news for a while, he left the study in a daze, and the conversation with Guan Pengju opened another door for him, making him a little dazed and a little overwhelmed. When he was in a trance, the mobile phone rang, he glanced at it and found that it was Cheng Xiaoxi's number, hesitated, but picked it up.

"Xiaoning, can you come to Yanjing tomorrow?" Cheng Xiaoxi on the other end of the phone said straightforwardly.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaoning asked.

"My dad wants to talk to you." Cheng Xiaoxi said calmly.

Li Xiaoning was stunned, didn't Cheng Guoqing look down on himself? What are you going to talk to me about? But then I figured it out, although Cheng Xiaoxi's tone was flat, but these days, she must have had a fierce struggle with her parents, which moved her parents to give herself another chance.

Until now, Li Xiaoning has not figured out how to deal with the relationship between him and Cheng Xiaoxi. Because of the snobbery and philistine nature of Cheng Xiaoxi's parents, the two are likely to be separated in the end, but there is indeed a relationship between the two, and it is really impossible to break up.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xiaoning decided to go and meet Cheng Guoqing, "Xiaoxi, I happen to be in Yanjing, let's go over in the afternoon!" ”

Because of the last experience, this time Li Xiaoning didn't buy any gifts, and directly entered the door empty-handed.

Li Xiaoning and Cheng Xiaoxi entered the door together, nodded to Cheng Guoqing and his wife who were sitting on the sofa and were reserved, and greeted with a smile, "Hello uncle!" Hello Auntie! ”

Cheng Guoqing nodded slightly, which was a response. And Cheng Xiaoxi's mother didn't pay attention to Li Xiaoning at all with a face.

If it weren't for her daughter's crying and fuss and wanting to hang herself, Zhao Junxia would not have allowed Li Xiaoning to enter her house again. Even if she reluctantly agreed to let Cheng Xiaoxi be with Li Xiaoning now, she was still very uncomfortable in her heart. In her heart, Li Xiaoning is not her favorite son-in-law candidate at all, except for being good-looking, she has nothing to do. And his daughter has no shortage of good suitors.

The mother's indifference and impoliteness made Cheng Xiaoxi's eyes red, and he almost burst into tears.

Li Xiaoning didn't pay much attention to it, he was in a different mood at the moment, so he naturally didn't care about Zhao Junxia's attitude. It's just that Zhao Junxia, a snobbish woman with too strong knowledge in the small market, makes him feel quite helpless and emotional-in his opinion, the huge obstacle between him and Cheng Xiaoxi is not the family and any external factors, but her parents.

After Li Xiaoning sat down, Cheng Guoqing took the lead and said, "We found you a job." ”
