At this time, Cen Weiran walked to Xu Yanfeng's side with a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that Grandpa Xiang's two questions were nine out of ten, but I didn't expect that there was such a big gap with Grandpa Xiang's answer. Especially in the second question, I just copy the leader's speech, and I don't have my own analysis and ideas at all. You can think so far, I really admire it, I'm not as good as you. ”

When Xu Yanfeng heard this, he was a little embarrassed again.

"I hope you and Mu Mu will be happy in the future." Cen Weiran stretched out his hand to Xu Yanfeng and said, "I also hope we can become friends." ”

Xu Yanfeng really didn't expect that Cen Weiran could be so atmospheric.

"We'll be friends." Xu Yanfeng stretched out his hand and said.

Cen Weiran then said goodbye to everyone one by one and slowly left the Xiang family.

Looking at Cen Weiran's back, Xu Yanfeng decided that he must persuade Su Muyan for a while.

Xu Yanfeng came here today just to create a freedom for Su Muyan and not to let her be persecuted. But after today's incident, Xu Yanfeng must persuade her to think more about Cen Weiran.

Looking at Cen Weiran, who was leaving, Xiang Changrong wanted to stop him, but he knew that it didn't make sense to call him back today.

However, Xu Yanfeng just has the right to associate with Su Muyan, not that the two are going to get married. Therefore, Xiang Changrong can help Su Muyan find a marriage partner in the future.

"Dad, I'm going too." Xiang Changrong didn't want to stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he went back to his home with Xiang Guolin.

As soon as Xiang Changrong left, Liang Shaokang couldn't help but say: "Yanfeng, you kid is so powerful, I have never seen Grandpa Xiang praise someone like this." ”

Liang Yuxiang also glanced at Xu Yanfeng a few more times, Xiang Lao's worries about investing in Jihua have not been raised by anyone, but no one has analyzed them as thoroughly as Xiang Lao. And even if they were worried, they did not dare to speak out openly.

However, Xu Yanfeng is only a few years old to see the problem so thoroughly. Xiang Lao has decades of experience in the economy, so he can see through the drawbacks that will exist here. But what about Xu Yanfeng? He's only been working for two or three years.

"Yuxiang. Shaokang, you can stay and eat. Xiang Lao said to Xu Yanfeng again: "Young man, sit down." ”

Xiang Xiujie looked at her watch, it was past seven o'clock, so she hurriedly asked Xiang Lao's family nanny to have dinner.

This meal. Xiang Lao was very interested in eating. Obviously, Xu Yanfeng has a very good appetite for him.

Not to mention that the first impression is very important, with the answers to the two questions just now, Xu Yanfeng has already won the heart of Xiang Lao. In addition, at the dinner table, Xu Yanfeng kept spying on Xiang Lao's thoughts, and every sentence reached Xiang Lao's heart. This made Xiang Lao even more happy.

And Xiang Xiujie and Su Muyan rarely spoke at the dinner table. Su Muyan also rarely looked at Xu Yanfeng, as if the person Xiang Lao agreed to associate with Xu Yanfeng was not her.

After the meal, the nanny served tea and fruit to everyone.

Liang Yuxiang and his son sat for a while longer, and then got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Liang Shaokang pulled Xu Yanfeng and said, "You kid is really good." Take good care of Mu Mu in the future. If you dare to let her be wronged, be careful that I clean you up. ”

Xu Yanfeng smiled bitterly, why did Liang Shaokang forget that he was just here to help Su Muyan get rid of this marriage? Listening to Liang Shaokang's words now, it seems that Xu Yanfeng and Su Muyan are already half husband and wife.

After Liang Shaokang finished speaking, he punched Xu Yanfeng again: "I'm leaving, why don't you stay here tonight, anyway, there are many houses." ”

After speaking, he laughed again and walked away with Liang Yuxiang.

Xu Yanfeng returned to the living room. He decided to explain today's matter to Xiang Lao clearly.

"Young man, stay here tonight and talk more with my old man." Xiang Lao said.

The more Xu Yanfeng came into contact with Xiang Lao, the more he felt that Xiang Lao was a very approachable old man. Although Xiang Lao was in a high position before, he didn't have that kind of lofty shelf at all. It feels very intimate for people to talk to him.

This may also be because Xiang Lao was born in poverty and has never forgotten his roots, even if he gets a high position, he still classifies himself as an ordinary person. This started with his agreement that Xiang Xiujie would marry Su Muyan's father, Su He. and agree that Xu Yanfeng and Su Muyan will be able to see one or two. This is the simple essence peculiar to the old revolutionaries, which is difficult to see in many officials today.

But. The more Xiang Lao was so kind, the more Xu Yanfeng couldn't bear to deceive him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Yanfeng said with a smile: "Old Xiang, I'll go back in a while." But before I go, there are some things I want to make clear to you. ”

"What's the matter?" Xiang Lao was surprised.

Xu Yanfeng glanced at Xiang Xiujie's mother and daughter who were sitting on the side, took a deep breath and said: "Actually, Mu Mu and I are just ordinary friends, just now Shaokang said that we were dating just nonsense, and the purpose was just to borrow me to sabotage this ...... Mu Mu and Cen Weiran's relationship. Actually, I think Cen Weiran is very good, Mu Mu, you can try to have a relationship with him in a free environment. ”

Xu Yanfeng's words made Xiang Xiujie's mother and daughter a little surprised, they didn't expect Xu Yanfeng to be so frank.

And Xiang Lao's face became a little serious, and then he smiled and said, "You paused just now, you actually wanted to talk about 'political marriage'." ”

Xu Yanfeng laughed dryly, didn't say yes or no.

Xiang Lao nodded: "You are very frank, very good." In fact, from the beginning, I knew that Mu Mu's relationship with you was fake. ”

Xu Yanfeng and Su Muyan were stunned, and looked at Xiang Lao in unison.

Xiang Lao smiled bitterly: "I know my granddaughter. She's too withdrawn, it's too hard and too hard for her to date boys. You only had a brief contact with her in Yuanxi County, and that time you saved her, so you let her associate with you? I don't believe it, and neither does she. ”

Xu Yanfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, Xiang Lao really understood Su Muyan.

And Su Muyan didn't make a sound, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Xiang Lao continued: "We are also to blame for causing Mu Mu's character. Speaking of this, he looked up at Xiang Xiujie.

Su Muyan, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Grandpa, I don't think there's anything wrong with my character." People are so fake now, why talk so much to them. ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about you." Xiang Lao sighed, turned his head to Xu Yanfeng and said, "I'm also old, and I've been suffering from major and minor illnesses in the past two years. Today I'm still in good spirits. In fact, I also hate political marriages, but I can't help but think about the Xiang family and Mu Mu. Since you confessed to me, my old man has nothing to hide from you. Maybe outsiders look at our Xiang family as if it is out of reach, but the situation of the Xiang family has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. ”

Xu Yanfeng knew that he might hear news that was difficult to know in the outside world for a while, which made him a little excited and a little frightened.

Subsequently. I only heard Xiang Lao continue: "Through the second question just now, you should be able to see that I am a person who can't hide my words. Now that I'm no longer in my position, there's no need to say that kind of thing to offend people. But I couldn't help it. I was like that when I was younger, with my personality. There are too many people to offend. And also. The thing I can't get used to is tantar. It's only been a few years since we founded the country, and it's already like this. When I was the deputy minister, I joined forces with the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection at that time to rectify a lot of officials. In this way, I offended more people. If it weren't for the south of the year. The Inspector admired me. I'm afraid I've come down a long time ago. Even now, some people mention the itchy roots of my teeth that I hate. But I'm still there, even if they hate it, they don't dare to deal with the Xiang family too much. ”

Xiang Lao was in a very bad mood when he said this, Xiang Xiujie hurriedly handed over a cup of tea and said, "Dad." Don't talk about it. ”

"No, I like this kid Yanfeng very much, and I'm honest with me, there are some things I want to explain to him." Xiang Lao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said: "Changrong and Changyun also know these situations, so Changrong saw that my health was not good, so he wanted to use the means of political marriage to protect the Xiang family and protect his position." Because he was afraid of me once it passed. Someone will deal with the Xiang family. Guolin's marriage was determined by Changrong, and now Guolin's father-in-law has achieved the position of governor of Jiangdong Province. Now, Evergreen has the idea of Mu Mu again. Wei Ran, this kid is also good, I began to agree with him to associate with Mu Mu, in fact, it was more for Mu Mu. And not for what marriage. Although the marriage will allow the two families to develop rapidly with mutual support in the short term, if one family really reaches the moment of life and death, will the other family give up the protection of interests? No way. And there are marriages. There will be a combination of interests, so what is this called in ancient times? It's called 'pundan'. Now is not the time of the last century. Will the Supreme Governor watch you form a party and ignore it? In the early stage of the marriage, the two families may get a lot of benefits, but as time goes by, there will be contradictions between the two families with uneven distribution of interests, and others will treat you as 'friends' and target you, and the final result is likely to be the defeat of both families. ”

Xu Yanfeng didn't expect Xiang Lao to see it so thoroughly, and he couldn't help but nodded.

Then, Xiang Lao looked at Su Muyan and continued: "I let you have a relationship with Wei Ran, but it's actually for you. You are not young anymore, you can't live a lonely life, you must have a man to take care of you. Wei Ran has a frank temperament and a lot of energy, if you marry him, he will definitely take care of you. But Wei Ran's temperament will not be able to make any big achievements in the future. With the help of his father, it is already good to be at the deputy department level. ”

If Cen Weiran's character is not changed, it is indeed difficult to make great development. Maybe now others don't dare to do anything to him when they take care of the Cen family, but what about more than ten years, twenty years later? I'm afraid that if someone else sets up a random bureau, they will be able to trap him.

Then, Xiang Lao looked at Xu Yanfeng again, his eyes were gloomy, but he didn't speak.

And Xu Yanfeng didn't spy on Xiang Lao, he wanted to talk to Xiang Lao sincerely and "fairly" this time, and didn't want to use any more "means".

Therefore, Xu Yanfeng didn't know now that Xiang Lao suddenly saw hope after seeing Xu Yanfeng.

With Xu Yanfeng's confession to Xiang Lao, it shows that Xu Yanfeng is honest in his heart. If an ordinary person got Xiang Lao's permission so that the other party could have a relationship with Su Muyan, then the other party would definitely be excited and didn't know why, and then he would do everything to marry Su Muyan.

Because Su Muyan is not only beautiful, but also has a good family background, whoever marries Su Muyan is destined to be ordinary in this life.

But Xu Yanfeng actually confessed that he was actually not in a relationship with Su Muyan, and persuaded Su Muyan and Cen Weiran to be together. This shows that Xu Yanfeng has no intention of clinging to their Xiang family.

Xiang Lao could see that Xu Yanfeng was sincere in saying this, so he could be sure that if Su Muyan married Xu Yanfeng, he would definitely be taken care of.

And Xu Yanfeng can see the investment Jihua so thoroughly, it is by no means a thing in the pool. If someone cultivates him well, then his future future will definitely be much more ambitious than Cen Weiran.

Choosing which Cen Weiran or Xu Yanfeng to associate with Su Muyan is actually like buying stocks.

If Cen Weiran is chosen, he will definitely earn in the short term, but he may not make a lot in the long run; If Xu Yanfeng is chosen, it may be dull in ten years, but Xu Yanfeng is a strong high-quality potential stock, and in ten years, or twenty or thirty years, it is likely to support the development of the family.

This is a feeling of Xiang Lao, an 86-year-old man's prediction of a young man's future after seeing through the world. Although it may not be accurate, it is not completely unfounded.

After all, Xiang Lao has seen too many people, what kind of personality Xu Yanfeng has, what characteristics he has, and what abilities he has, he can easily find a similar template in the characters of the seventies and eighties of the last century. And the degree of development of this template after thirty years, Xiang Lao has naturally witnessed it now. That's why he can make a judgment, if Xu Yanfeng is not unexpected, he will definitely have broad development prospects.

Three years old looks older than seven years old, judging from the fact that Xu Yanfeng is now a department-level cadre, he is more able to make judgments.

Therefore, Xiang Lao decided to agree to Xu Yanfeng and Su Muyan dating. Through dating, let's see if Xu Yanfeng is really suitable to be the son-in-law of their Xiang family.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yanfeng would be so frank, saying that he and Su Muyan had not actually had a relationship before, so Xiang Lao naturally couldn't force each other.

But that's fine, if Xu Yanfeng is really with Su Muyan, he will be suppressed by Xiang Changrong's anger. This may be a turning point in Xu Yanfeng's life, making his broad prospects instantly bleak.

Xiang Lao couldn't help but sigh at this time, any old man hopes to arrange his children and grandchildren for decades to come, but there will be an end to manpower.

Now Xiang Lao is most worried about Su Muyan's marriage, and if he dies, his political enemies will target the Xiang family in any way.

These two matters have always been trying to be resolved, but there is no proper way to solve them. Now, these two things can only go with the flow.

"Kid!" Xiang Lao looked at Xu Yanfeng: "You are the only child I have seen all these years." If you have any problems during my lifetime, you can ask me for help. I also hope that I will be gone in the future, no matter whether you and Mu Mu can walk together or not, you can still help me take care of her. ”

If Xiang Lao now said that Xu Yanfeng would come out in the future and take care of the Xiang family or something, it would be a bit nonsense. After all, that would be at least twenty or thirty years away.

But Su Muyan must be taken care of. Just looking at Su Muyan's character, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone to marry. Therefore, Xiang Lao hoped that Xu Yanfeng would have the opportunity to care more about Su Muyan.

"Elder Xiang, I'm ...... Okay, Mu Mu and I are friends, and I will definitely care about her. No one is allowed to bully her, no one is allowed. Xu Yanfeng said.

Xiang Lao understood Xu Yanfeng's special emphasis on "anyone". Because Xu Yanfeng knew that if Xiang Lao was gone, the person who dared to bully Su Muyan would definitely not be a small role, I am afraid that it would be like when Su Muyan was a child before, and the children of some big families would have something to do against Su Muyan.

For these people, it is all included in "anyone".

Xiang Lao nodded and smiled slightly: "I can't be mistaken, you are a good boy." ”

When Xu Yanfeng heard Xiang Lao's address to him, he felt a little relieved in his heart for a while.

Big families also have the helplessness of big families, and sometimes they may not be as comfortable as ordinary people.
