Because he had finished talking to his grandfather, Shen Lang also stood up and left the room, after all, there was not much affection between the two of them, and now they have said this again, if the two of them can still find a common topic to sit together, it will really be a rather bizarre thing, but now that there is such an ending, it is obvious that the two people are not so original to face it, but this matter is irreparable.

Shen Zheng has been standing at the door outside, and after hearing the sound, he also turned his body around, and the first person who caught his eye was his younger brother, but he didn't see his grandfather as he imagined, Shen Lang smiled lightly at his brother, "I'll meet the room first, grandpa is in the house, there may be something to look for you, I still have something to say in a while." Looking at his younger brother who was leaving quickly, Shen Zheng kept watching him leave, and after hearing his grandfather's voice, Shen Zheng walked into the house, but recently he often took a breath to relieve the feelings in his heart.

"Sit down" can see that Ma Zhenggang's love is not as good as imagined, after seeing his eldest grandson sit down, he also sighed with a smile, "Relax, don't be so nervous, it's better than I imagined, at least the conversation didn't collapse, but the entanglement between the two of us The feelings have been wiped out, and the right and wrong of this is no longer good to discuss, I can't say that Xiaolang must be wrong, and I can't just say that I must be right." ”

"Grandpa, why is this the case? Why don't I talk to Xiao Lang? ”

"No" Ma Zhenggang directly shook his head and refused, "This is a reality that there is no way to change, there is no way to judge the right and wrong, if I admit that I am wrong, that is betraying my political concept, and if Xiao Lang admits that he is wrong, it is a kind of negation of himself, plus some mistakes that occurred when Xiao Lang was young, it is not very strange that things have come to this point." Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about you."

"My business?" Shen Zheng asked a little puzzled, "Grandpa, my side is still very good now, as for the project of CCCC, if it is completed, it will add a little brightness, but it will not have much impact if it is not successful, and our entire team has been prepared for this aspect before coming." ”

"Don't play tricks with me, you are still far from Xiao Lang in this regard, if Xiao Lang wants to cover up something, even it is difficult for me to test the slightest trace from his eyes, movements and words, you were taught by me, I know you too well." Ma Zhenggang also snorted coldly at this time, "What I'm talking about now is something about your future, your second uncle has gone down, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will be the prince of this side, and I have to admit that Xiao Lang's eyes are vicious in this matter, and hang it for two years, so that your second uncle can know and reflect on himself on a certain Cheng dù, and at the same time, I can also make me very calm to layout, the only thing I am worried about now is only you." ”

"Grandpa, I don't have anything here."

"No, on the contrary, the pressure on your side will be very high, but it hasn't come yet. Your second uncle is one of the princes, but you are not on his one acre and three points of land, it is difficult for him to take care of you now, his role is only to connect the previous and the next, occupy a certain position in the faction, escort you, after I retreat, you will gradually feel this pressure, I have hinted to Xiao Lang just now, let him not extend any help to you, I don't know if Xiao Lang will pretend to be confused with me, you still have to talk to him. ”

This remark made Shen Zheng also fall into a stunned silence, and after thinking for a while, Shen Zheng also nodded and said: "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, this period of time will be the best training for me, and how far I will go on this road in the future depends on my achievements during this time." ”

"Yes, this is what I'm most worried about, because you have now entered the eyes of many political factions on a certain Cheng dù, if you only have me and your second uncle, it's good to say a little, but Xiao Lang is a very strong figure, his economic means are indeed very powerful, so for this reason, everyone will not be too embarrassed for you, this will inevitably cause you a certain illusion of Cheng dù, I am not worried about your ability, I am worried about whether you can withstand it, In such a situation, you can relax a kind of control over yourself. ”,

Shen Zheng glanced at his grandfather in disbelief, and said in a disbelieving tone: "Grandpa, are you worried about me and Xiaolang?" ”

After hearing this, Ma Zhenggang also frowned, "Having such a younger brother is not a good thing for you, it will have a great impact on your career development, it is difficult to explain whether this impact is good or bad, after all, no one can go to see it in fifty years." You may also feel this way, I don't like Xiao Lang as a child, for no reason, I just don't like him, maybe it wasn't quite right in my previous life, I don't like him for one thing, but Xiao Lang is this child? In some ways, it's still a great contribution to the family, and I don't deny that. ”

"Grandpa, I don't really understand what you mean?"

"Xiao Lang attaches great importance to the feelings of the family, and at this point, the family owes something to him, but in a certain way, Xiao Lang is an extremely calm guy, and the calmness here can even rise to a state of coldness and indifference. Although you are his brother, there are some things you may not know too much, he actually pays a lot for you, but he is a child who doesn't like to express it very much, I hope you don't affect you because of my relationship with him, no matter what happens in the future, you need to remember this. ”

Shen Zheng was even more puzzled at this time, he was really confused, "Grandpa, I'm really getting more and more confused now, you and Xiao Lang are the same thing, not only do I know, people in the family know, and even many people in the outside world know about it, but it gives me a feeling that you guys seem to be closely coordinated, I really want to know, what is the relationship between you and Xiao Lang?" ”

"Our family can have such a situation now, Xiao Lang is indispensable, on the surface, everyone sees that I am working hard, but in the secret it is Xiao Lang who is laying this foundation, in fact, it is worthless, Xiao Lang understands very well that it is impossible for him to pull you into his political faction, in that case, the development of the two of you will not be too good, and my identity also determines that you can't be invested in other camps, so this foundation he laid is not so much for this family, but for you, And your second uncle and I are just using the help to make the family develop better, but Xiao Lang's hand belongs to Yangmou, although I know it, but I have nothing to do. ”

Shen Zheng also suddenly woke up at this time, and at this time he also laughed helplessly, "Grandpa, you are telling me this now, it makes me feel really under pressure, everyone is silently paying for me, if I have any mistakes, I will really feel very guilty."

"I've long thought about this, at least I'm still alive now, and your second uncle is also in the position now, which in itself is a double insurance, if something really happens in the future, we will all stand up, so you don't have any scruples about doing things, not to mention that even if I and your second uncle can't protect you, Xiao Lang will definitely not sit idly by, so at this stage, don't Xiao Lang help you as much as possible, in the long run, this is only bad and not good, Do you understand? ”

Then Ma Zhenggang taught his grandson some things, and then let him leave the room, but when Shen Zheng left here, he didn't go to his brother immediately, but found a place to stay alone for a while, he needed to sort out this thought, and suddenly stuffed so many things into his head for a while, he really couldn't bear it, about half an hour later, Shen Lang came to the door of his brother's room, of course, he would rest here tonight.

However, Ma Zhenggang has been sitting in the study, his expression is a little gloomy, after listening to Zhang Yun turn back and talk about Shen Zheng's situation, a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he also sighed and said, "I regret that I shouldn't have such scruples at the beginning, if it wasn't for the time when I shrunk my hands and feet, there might not be so many things now, we are all old." ”

"Been waiting for me for a long time?" Shen Zheng said a little relaxed, but Shen Lang glanced at his brother's demeanor, and smiled slightly, "Brother, we grew up together when we were young, it's hard to hide from each other, grandpa and his old man should have said a lot of shocking topics to you, although for outsiders, you may not be able to see anything, but whether it's me or my sister, just look at your appearance, you don't have to pretend to be relaxed." ”,

Shen Zheng walked into this room with a smile, and lay directly on a bed not far away, "Brother, how long have we not talked together?" I'm talking about it in this way? This remark made Shen Lang also slightly distracted, "I forgot about it, but it should have been a long time since I thought about it, speaking of which, we seem to have started a family now, and even our children can play soy sauce." ”

"Xiao Lang, from the existing children in our family, who do you think is more hopeful in the future, the so-called three-year-old sees the old, the benchmark between me and Nan Nan at that time is you, and these friends around me are the same, everyone can have today's situation, brother, you are indispensable, although I am your brother, but I have to admit this."

Shen Lang smiled faintly, "Brother, it's hard to say about this matter now, or it's too early to say, for the time being, these children in the family are not suitable for this benchmark, Liu Yuan and Xinxin are two people because of their age, but they can take them with them, as for what it will be like in the future, it depends on the development of the situation But when my brother talks about this, I should give you some advice, and you don't need to be like this for big eaters."

Shen Zheng listened to his brother's joke, and he was also a little helpless, "Forget it, you kid has always liked to hide and tuck, Cui Ni's child is about to come over, I have already told Yanan about this, and it's really a little embarrassing to talk about this matter, do you say that both of us brothers are a little too much?" ”

"It's just a difficult brother, although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, but you can't pretend not to know you when you lift your belt." Shen Lang also let out a long breath, took out his cigar, and after picking one out, he also threw the box to his brother, "But it's not easy to talk about sister-in-law, I'm not the same as you at this point, you are not the same as brother, everyone can open one eye and close one eye to my affairs, and even acquiesce in some kind of Cheng dù, but brother, you are different, and the follow-up impact of this matter must be erased quickly." ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Lang pondered for a while, and then asked: "I'll do this thing, my family is full of foreign manpower, which is much more convenient than you, no matter how you do it, you will stay in the handle, but Cui Ni's work you need to do, bear with it, whether it's for the child or for the two of you, but one thing must be made clear, this child can only be hung in the name of my sister-in-law, only in this way can it be explained." ”

Shen Zheng also nodded, "It's just like this." After seeing that his elder brother agreed, Shen Lang did not continue to entangle on this matter, but quickly changed the topic, "What does grandpa mean by his old man, do you let me watch coldly, or let me help secretly?" It's a little bit more of the former."

Facing his younger brother's questioning, Shen Zheng's mind also changed quickly, but he didn't mean to play dumb riddles with his younger brother, "Grandpa's meaning, you'd better watch from the sidelines, after all, it's not your turn to come forward now, my grandfather and second uncle will be in front of me, if the two of them can't stand it, then you will take action, after all, you are sitting there, whether it is me, or my grandfather and second uncle are very confident." ”

"This top hat is a little big." Shen Lang said politely: "But this is a very good choice, if I make a move in advance, it is easy to lose this advantage, and if I am not humble, it is like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, which is too wasteful." ”

"Say you're fat and you're still panting, but when I say this, I want to ask you, Xiaolang, why can't you accommodate grandpa a little, you see that the common goal of the two of you is the same, grandpa may have made mistakes back then, but you let the old man admit this mistake, this is unlikely and realistic."

Shen Lang waved his hand directly, and did not let his brother continue to say this, "Brother, there is no need to say this matter, there is no meaning, as for the so-called right and wrong, this has become history, it is impossible for me and my grandfather to compromise under the current situation, in fact, brother, you also understand that this has nothing to do with face, at least I think it is a good choice to maintain the current situation." ”,

"But grandpa is about to retire?"

"Which one is a matter for the future, at least it has nothing to do with the present." When saying this, Shen Lang also paused, "I'm going to start working in the near future, the father and son of the He family have already given it to me, sometimes it's not a good thing to endure the time, you definitely can't get involved in this matter, especially at a moment like this, to paraphrase a sentence, there are unjust ghosts in that temple, this may not be appropriate, but it will definitely not be groundless." ”

Shen Zheng stared at Shen Lang for a while, and then said with some embarrassment, "I can see that my grandfather wants to know who you have chosen as the target." ”

Shen Lang shook his head and refused without thinking about it, "Other things can be discussed, but there is absolutely no room for negotiation in this matter, I understand what you think in your heart, brother, but the level involved in this matter is too deep, and when you go to the level of the second uncle in the future, you may be able to understand why I am doing this, my grandfather wants to reduce the loss of the power of his own political faction, this can be understood by anyone, he does it not necessarily to seek any political interests, A large part of it is for you to earn the support of the political faction, but I can't do that, maybe my grandfather and his old man are right, I am more cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

Shen Zheng also sighed, "I guess you will say this, but this has nothing to do with cold-blooded ruthlessness, you and my brother have been talking for so many years, I don't want to say this, but as a grandson, I have to try, as for what kind of consequences there will be, this is not in my consideration." After finishing speaking, he snuffed out the cigar in the ashtray, "Xiao Lang, if grandma asks tomorrow, how will you answer, and if your father and mother know about this, how are you going to answer?" ”

Shen Lang's body couldn't help but tremble, "Grandma should already be quite clear about this matter in her heart, so she will never ask about this matter, as for my father and mother?" Let's get by, as long as the second elder doesn't ask, brother, you should think you don't know about this matter. ”
