The phone was connected, and before the other party could speak, Liu Xiaotian grinned, his demeanor was very humble, and he hurriedly reported to his home, came to blame himself, and said: "Jin Lao, I am Xiao Liu, your old health is fine, every time I go to China, I always want to visit you, but I am busy with affairs, and I am in a hurry, Xiaotian is very ashamed." ”

The other party came with a hearty laugh: "Xiao Liu, there is no need to blame yourself, I am a bad old man, what is there to worry about, I know that you are very busy at work now, it is enough for you to have this heart, people in officialdom can't help it, I can understand this." ”

When Jin Lao said this, he suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, you have a good relationship with Xiao Luo, why, now, every time I call, I don't see you mention him much." ”

Seeing that Jin Lao could understand that he didn't go to Huadu to see him, he didn't mind, his personality was still so hearty, Liu Xiaotian secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as Jin Lao was not seen, his son's affairs would have an extra chance of winning, you must know that as long as Jin Lao came forward, Luo Wannian would not buy his face.

Quite at the beginning of Jin Lao when he was a university professor, Luo Wannian was a graduate student he led, and later Jin Lao and Luo Wannian both entered politics, Jin Lao directly entered the national ministries and commissions, and Luo Wannian also became a deputy section-level cadre in the Huadu government department, and at that time, Liu Xiaotian, who graduated from university, became Jin Lao's secretary with his wit and diligence, it can be said that Luo Wannian and Liu Xiaotian have intersected, and both of them have received the favor of Jin Lao.

After the two were sent to Province A together, Luo Wannian's relationship with Liu Xiaotian had been good at first, but later because of different political views and discordant personalities, the relationship gradually began to drift apart, but due to the relationship with Jin Lao, the two have not been torn apart in face, but later Liu Xiaotian and Gao Songyan got very close, and there was a great sense of confrontation with Luo Wannian, which made Luo Wannian estranged Liu Xiaotian, especially after the true and false video of Beidao Pharmaceutical, the relationship between Luo Wannian and Liu Xiaotian cooled down sharply, and even entered the point of incompatibility.

"Alas, Jin Lao, Xiaotian has embarrassed you, it's hard to say." Seeing that Jin Lao asked, Liu Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile, he called today to ask his old leader, thinking that there was no need to be polite, so he sighed and said.

"I know that you kid must have something, and it's not right to speak, isn't there something awkward with Wannian?" At this time, Jin Lao sat on the balcony on the second floor of his villa, holding a delicate sharp-spouted purple clay pot, holding it in his mouth, drinking the big red robe from Fuhai Province that he liked.

"Jin Lao, you guessed right, today I am also cheeky and call you for the old man, I want to ask you to come forward to say hello to Wannian." Liu Xiaotian stopped talking at this point, sorted out his thoughts, and thought about how to tell Jin Lao about the ugly things of his two unlucky sons, and he couldn't make him angry, and he was willing to help him.

"Tell me something straight, Xiao Liu, I remember when you were my secretary, you weren't this kind of character, why do you talk now, you don't seem to have enough confidence." Jin Lao put it in the purple clay pot, withdrew his gaze from the pot of butt ash in the back garden, looked up thoughtfully at a calligraphy and painting on the balcony, and squinted and said.

Liu Xiaotian didn't dare to slack off, so he told Jin Lao all the troubles that his two sons had caused recently, of course, Liu Xiaotian tried to downplay some sensitive issues, focusing on saying that Luo Wannian seemed to be intent on tidying up his own affairs and deliberately not giving face, in short, he Liu Xiaotian's two sons just made a little insignificant mistake, but they were suppressed by the partnership of Luo Wannian and Hua Tianhong, which is the rhythm of putting themselves to death.

After listening to Liu Xiaotian's account patiently, Jin Lao knew what was going on, don't look at him now that he has retired, he still pays attention to the Chinese political arena and his two proud protégés.

Jin Lao still knows a little about Liu Xiaotian's character, although he didn't show much when he was a secretary to Jin Lao before, but Jin Lao has seen Liu Xiaotian's shortcomings and deficiencies from some details, and has reminded him once or twice, fortunately, Liu Xiaotian is very shrewd and very good at disguise, and later he was very cautious all the time by Jin Lao's side, until he left Jin Lao to take up a local post, his true nature was slowly exposed, greedy, domineering, small-minded, like to play with power, and connived at his children and the staff around him.

Jin Lao knew that this must be Liu Xiaotian's two sons, otherwise, Luo Wannian would not have done such a desperate thing, you must know that Luo Wannian was born as a pure scholar like himself, kind and benevolent, although he has been in the officialdom for so many years, but his nature is difficult to change, and this way of doing things does not seem to be Luo Wannian's style, it is likely to be the idea of Executive Vice Governor Hua Tianhong, it seems that the relationship between the members of the Standing Committee of the Political Forum of Province A is also very complicated.

At this moment, in the face of the original secretary he cultivated, Jin Lao also entered a dilemma, on the one hand, he was his favorite student, on the other hand, he was the secretary who had served him for many years, and on the other hand, there was party discipline and state law there, if he called Luo Wannian, this kid would definitely give himself face, but he violated his conscience, you must know that he Jin Aiguo is also an upright official, if he does not intercede with Liu Xiaotian, and it seems that he is pretending to be upright, indifferent and ruthless, Liu Xiaotian will often call to greet himself, During the New Year's holidays, he also asked someone to visit him, although it was only two bottles of good wine and two good teas, which was not a precious thing, but this filial piety moved him to love the country.

After all, Huaxia is a personal society, to say that it is completely in accordance with the law, it seems unlikely, as the leader of the retired Jin Lao seems to be unavoidable, after a fierce struggle in his heart, he decided to make an exception this time to do his former proud protégé a favor, of course, only this time, in the future, Liu Xiaotian's two sons, including Liu Xiaotian himself, if they break the law and discipline again, they can only stand by and watch.

Jin Lao's silence made Liu Xiaotian feel bottomless, and he begged bitterly: "Jin Lao, I know my two sons who are not angry, you are always angry, but you have to help me, otherwise I really can't gain a foothold in Province A, I was trained by you, and your boss can't watch your subordinates fall." At this time, Liu Xiaotian couldn't care about his face as a dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and begged Jin Aiguo with tears and bitterness, the old superiors and leaders he had served wholeheartedly.

At this moment, Jin Aiguo slowly raised his head and sighed deeply: "Xiao Liu, since you can afford me, an old man who has retired, this favor, I promise to help you, but only this time, what Cheng Dù can help you exactly, it is not up to me to say, it depends on ten thousand years." ”

Hearing that the old leader promised to help, Liu Xiaotian excitedly clenched his fist and waved it in the air, he also knew very well that with Jin Lao's character, it was already very good to be able to help himself once, as long as he came forward, Luo Wannian would definitely give face, as long as he released his two sons, he would be able to say anything.
