Zhou Hongjian walked into the courtyard with Duan Zetao, stopped again when he was about to go up the steps, and when Duan Zetao followed, he coldly admonished: "The chief is not in good health, you can't be excited, you should pay attention to ...... when you report to the chief later."

Duan Zetao was very disgusted with Zhou Hong's appearance of being superior, as the leader's side, he would naturally be welcomed by others wherever he went, but the more this is the case, the more you should maintain a humble attitude, because others respect the leader rather than you, and any of your actions are likely to be misinterpreted as the leader's attitude, which Wang Xianguo did very well, but his reminder was not wrong, Old Man Jiang was already in his eighties, if Duan Zetao was still as straightforward as usual, he really wanted to make him angry. Then the sin was great, so he nodded and agreed.

Zhou Hongjian walked to a study and knocked lightly on the door, and walked in, a white-haired old man sat quietly at the desk, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but his violently undulating chest betrayed his mood, obviously his heart was not as calm as it appeared at this time, there was a water stain on the carpet on the floor of the study, and a torn teacup, broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, it was conceivable that it must have been smashed by Old Man Jiang in anger.

"Chief, Duan Zetao is here!" , Zhou Hongjian bowed down and said cautiously, Old Man Jiang hummed softly, still did not open his eyes, Zhou Hongjian bent down, ready to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and clean up, but Old Man Jiang waved his hand and signaled him to go out first, Zhou Hongjian had to stand up, retreat to the door and go out with the door.

There are only two people left in the study, Duan Zetao and Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang is still closed and recuperating, not saying a word, Duan Zetao is not easy to speak, Mr. Jiang did not let Duan Zetao sit, Duan Zetao had to stand indiscriminately, the study was so quiet that a needle could hear the sound, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

If Duan Zetao was still a little nervous before he saw Old Man Jiang, but at this time, his mood was completely calm, he asked himself if he didn't do anything wrong, what was there to be upset about?! Seeing that Old Man Jiang didn't speak, he was not in a hurry, his eyes were level ahead, and he began to silently observe the environment of the study and the old man in front of him who had extraordinary influence on the Chinese political scene.

The decoration of this study is not luxurious, even a little simple, a few bookshelves, a desk, a coffee table, a few rattan chairs, the only luxury is that the coffee table is laid in front of an old wool carpet, the color is a little faded, some places the fur is also a little worn, obviously some years, but there are a lot of books, both the old version of the line bound book, but also the modern tome, many books are turned up with raw edges, obviously the owner of the study often reads, not the vassal elegant furnishings.

The old man in front of him, Duan Zetao, was still very young, he often saw him in the Central News Network, at that time he was always smiling, energetic, or receiving foreign guests, or going deep into the grassroots to talk cordially with ordinary people, his voice was always so strong and powerful, his demeanor was always so calm and steady, with a kind of majesty that was not angry and self-threatening, but at this time he was gray-haired, his cheeks were thin, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his face was blue, his eyelids were drooping, and there was a trace of fatigue on his face, obviously Jiang Zilong's matter hit him hard.

After a long time, Old Man Jiang slowly opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes flashed, but it was surprisingly sharp, as if he could see your heart at once, a coercion came to his face, Duan Zetao was still standing calmly, his eyes were pure.

"You are the grandson of the Xiao family?! Why don't you have the surname Xiao but the surname Duan?! ......", Old Man Jiang glanced at Duan Zetao and asked slowly.

Duan Zetao answered truthfully, neither humble nor arrogant: "Don't let me change my surname, and continue to use the original surname is also my grandfather's meaning, he said that my father and I were both raised by the Duan family, and we can't forget our roots and ...... as a man."

Old Man Jiang nodded and sighed: "Your grandfather is right, you can't forget your roots, now our country is rich and strong, people's lives are better, but there are many fine traditions that have been lost, especially some of our leading cadres, who have become officials, but have forgotten their roots!" ……”。

Duan Zetao was not easy to answer, Old Man Jiang pointed to the rattan chair on the side and said: "Sit down, your grandfather is a hot temper, you are not old, but you are very calm, now there are not many young people like you who are calm, I am not as good as you when I am your age, I and your grandfather had different political views, and often quarreled about things at work, now that I think about it, it is not necessary at all, your grandfather is gone, I am also old, or I will go to see Marx soon, do you still quarrel with your grandfather underground?!" ……”。

Duan Zetao opened his mouth, wanting to say that you are not old, chief, how can I compare with you, but Old Man Jiang seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, waved his hand and sighed: "There is one thing that I am not as good as your grandfather, he gave birth to a good grandson, and there is a successor to the Xiao family!" ……”。

Why did Old Man Jiang call himself over, but he didn't mention anything about Jiang Zilong, but instead got into a routine with himself, Duan Zetao was a little drumming in his heart, and it was not easy to answer, he couldn't say that Old Man Jiang praised himself wrong, so he could only sit there patiently and listen.

Jiang Zilong glanced at Duan Zetao again, shook his head and said: "In the end, you are old, and you will be rambling endlessly when you chatter, you young people definitely don't like to listen to it, I called you here today to ask about Jiang Zilong, I heard that you and Jiang Zilong have known each other for a long time?!" You've always had some contradictions with each other?! ......", he said and looked at Duan Zetao with burning eyes to see how he responded.

Duan Zetao's heart sank, it was obvious that what Old Man Jiang said just now was just a foreshadowing of the questioning at this time, this was the real purpose of his search for Duan Zetao, if Duan Zetao said that there was no contradiction with Jiang Zilong, it would be to deceive the national leadership, if Duan Zetao said that there was a contradiction with Jiang Zilong, then he would be suspected of communiqué personal vendetta if he investigated and punished Jiang Zilong, could it be said that Old Man Jiang wanted to exonerate Jiang Zilong? !

Thinking of this, Duan Zetao said with a straight face: "Chief, I have known Jiang Gongzi for a long time, and there have been some small frictions in the middle, but I will never abolish the public for personal reasons, let alone ...... Jiang Gongzi", Duan Zetao said that he and Jiang Zilong from the first meeting, and how the conflict occurred later, and then talked about the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group, and talked about the various evil deeds of Jiang Zilong that he knew.

When Duan Zetao was talking, Old Man Jiang didn't interject, just listened silently with an expressionless face, but the corner of Duan Zetao's eyes noticed that the green tendons in Old Man Jiang's head were beating violently, obviously very excited, Duan Zetao had no bottom in his heart, most of the old people's heart function was not very good, if there was a good one, he couldn't afford to be guilty, and his voice slowly weakened.
