Chapter 336: Old Man Tang
"Xingtian, come with me to the capital tomorrow to meet the old man." Tang Shilong said solemnly on the phone.
"So fast? Didn't you say it would take a few more days? Lang Xingtian asked in some surprise.
"My affairs in the province have been dealt with, so go ahead of time, there should be no problems on your side, right? Is there something you can't leave? Or are you afraid to go over? Tang Shilong asked with a smile.
"I can have any problems, nothing at all, it's still the same every day. You can go to the capital at any time, you don't have to worry about this, the capital is not a sword mountain and a sea of fire, or a tiger's den in Longtan or something. Lang Xingtian said nonchalantly.
"In that case, you will come to the provincial capital tomorrow morning, we will leave at noon, and we should be able to arrive in the capital in the afternoon." Tang Shilong said.
"Okay, no problem. Guaranteed on-time arrival. Lang Xingtian readily agreed.
After a few hours of flying, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lang Xingtian and Tang Shilong arrived in Beijing on time, because this time it was a private return to the capital, so it was just the two of them, and no one took anyone with them.
Get off the plane.
"Xingtian, is it the first time you have come to the capital?" Tang Shilong asked with a smile.
"Yes, the first time I came to the capital, it really deserves to be the capital of the country, giving people a sense of grandeur." Lang Xingtian exhaled and said.
"It's not strange that you can feel like this, but I feel strange if you don't feel this way, this is the essence of a city, and it is difficult for ordinary people to feel it. The capital is the place where the lifeblood of the country is held, and naturally there is a strong aura of luck shrouded in it. ”
"Although we advocate not believing in feng shui superstitions, how can all the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture be superstitions, and there is naturally a reason for it. Therefore, not all people can feel the momentum of the capital. The so-called momentum is momentum, heritage, culture and majesty. Tang Shilong said with emotion.
"It's true, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, but it's not one side of the people who create the other side of the water and soil, there are too many officials in the capital, and they control the direction of the country, so the capital has a feeling of controlling the world." Lang Xingtian also said with emotion.
"It's hard to get the capital once, so feel the culture of the capital well, maybe it will be of great help to you in the future." Tang Shilong said with a smile.
"Naturally, I won't miss this opportunity, I will definitely be able to read this ancient and majestic capital." Lang Xingtian nodded in response.
When the two people walked into the spacious and bright airport hall and were about to walk towards the security exit.
At this time, a middle-aged man greeted him with a smile and stood in front of the two. Before he could speak, Tang Shilong took the lead and said, "Xiao Wu, why are you here?" ”
The middle-aged man said hello to Tang Shilong and Lang Xingtian with respect in his tone: "Secretary Tang, Mr. Lang." When the chief learned that you were coming to the capital, he specially arranged for me to pick you up at the airport. ”
"Xingtian, this Xiao Wu is the old man's secretary and has been with the old man for more than ten years. I came back before, but the old man never sent him to greet me, but this time he actually sent Xiao Wu over, it seems that I am touched by your presence. Tang Shilong said with a smile.
Heard Tang Shilong say this. Lang Xingtian smiled faintly, stretched out his hand politely, and greeted with a smile: "Uncle Wu!" Hello! Thank you so much for coming to pick us up. ”
Secretary Wu saw Lang Xingtian's respectful and modest appearance when he spoke, and a trace of approval flashed in his eyes. Although I often hear the old chief praise this young man, but I haven't seen the real person, and it always feels unreal. On the contrary, he behaves calmly, generously and decently, and his eyes contain infinite wisdom, and he is indeed a rare excellent young man.
"You're welcome, these are all things we should do, if it weren't for some scruples, I could have picked you up just as I got off the plane." Secretary Wu said with a smile.
"It's a good thing you didn't do it, otherwise Xingtian and I would have been pointed at again." Tang Shilong said with a smile.
"Yes, let's go, the old chief is still waiting for me." Secretary Wu said.
The three of them walked out of the airport from the special passage of the airport, and stopped in front of a Hongqi car, Secretary Wu said with a smile: "This is the old chief's special car, usually the chief himself rarely sits, this time the old chief specially arranged for me to pick you up." At this point, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and greeted with a smile: "Please get in the car!" ”
The car along the airport highway towards the city of Beijing fast driving, this road as long as the traffic police on duty on the road, look at the red flag car, all to the red flag car solemn salute, due to the characteristics of the car, from the airport to the city of Beijing this road is unimpeded, and finally the red flag car drove into a red wall several meters high, the image is serious, solemn, magnificent, majestic, and the ancient forest garden building with deep security around.
The car drove along the path by the lake until it reached a quaint building, and when the car stopped in front of the building.
"Secretary Tang, Xingtian, the old chief is in the living room of the small building, I'll take you over." Secretary Wu got out of the car and said.
Walk into the small building.
Lang Xingtian saw an old man sitting on the sofa in the living room, closing his eyes and leaning back. Although the old man's eyes were closed, no one dared to ignore the power of the old man and the aura of the superior exuded by him, which had been deeply imprinted into the bone marrow, and there was an incomparably majestic momentum between his gestures.
"Father, I've brought Xingtian to see you." Tang Shilong said respectfully.
"You're here, you're old, your body is useless, and after doing it for a while, you're all asleep." The old man slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile.
When the old man opened his eyes, Lang Xingtian felt a gaze on his body, this gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and any careful thoughts would have nothing to hide under this gaze.
Thinking of this, Lang Xingtian immediately restrained his mind and made a respectful look, but he secretly scolded in his heart: "These old foxes are so penetrating in their eyes, it seems that they have to be careful when they speak, so as not to know what is going on when they are sold." ”
"Father, are you okay?" Tang Shilong asked with concern.
"It's okay, what can happen, I just fell asleep for a while, and you have such a problem when you're old, you're Xingtian, right?" Old Man Tang looked at Lang Xingtian and said.
"Yes, Old Man Tang, I am Lang Xingtian." Lang Xingtian said respectfully.
"Okay, you all do it, don't stand there, don't move, I don't seem to be comfortable." Old Man Tang waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Lang Xingtian and Tang Shilong sat down respectfully.
"Xingtian, can I call you that?" Old Man Tang asked.
"Yes, as long as you are happy, old man, you can call it whatever you want." Lang Xingtian smiled, with a very respectful look on his face.
"Xingtian, what kind of virtue are you, I probably have some understanding, don't look at your respectful appearance now, maybe you still scold me for being an old fox in your heart?" Old Man Tang said with a smile.
"Old man, you really wronged me, I don't dare to scold you." Lang Xingtian said with some embarrassment.
"There is nothing wronged, I basically know your virtues. But it doesn't matter, I'm an old fox. I've lived for decades, and I can't see through anything. So you don't have to pretend to be so respectful. "Old Man Tang seems to be in a good mood, and he is always smiling.
"Old man, you really wronged me when you said that, I have always been very respectful to the old man, and I will never have any disrespectful behavior." Lang Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"If I had believed you, I would have lived all these years in vain. Since you are the righteous son of Shilong, it stands to reason that you should call me grandpa, I don't know if I have this honor. Old Man Tang asked with a smile.
"Old man, your words have tormented me, and it is my great blessing to be able to call you grandpa." Lang Xingtian hurriedly said.
"Shilong, you're right, this kid is sweet-mouthed." Old Man Tang said with a smile.
"This kid's mouth is sweet, but sometimes it's also brutal, you don't notice it now, you will definitely find it in the future, and you will definitely be angry with him when the time comes." Tang Shilong pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Tang Shilong was also not lightly punished by Lang Xingtian, so he took this opportunity not to forget to hit Lang Xingtian.
"Xingtian, the main reason for calling you to the capital this time is to see you, I used to want you to come to the capital to meet me, an old man, but you went to Africa in a blink of an eye, which makes me feel very regretful, but then I heard that you cleaned up the little devils and Americans over there, which is really a big piece of people's hearts." The old man said happily.
"Father, don't praise him, this kid is causing trouble. Originally, he was asked to go to Africa to be a peacekeeping policeman, so that he could be a little more peaceful and low-key, but he didn't expect this kid to become even more serious and cause so many things, and he was even more famous than in China. Tang Shilong said with a wry smile.
"It's not that I said these things of you, I've been an official for a long time, and I don't even have a little blood, I think although I didn't participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but your grandfather did, every time I told me, I listened to it with enthusiasm, and wanted to cut off the heads of a few little devils myself, and complained about why your grandfather didn't let me give birth a few years earlier."
"Later, I caught up with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and did it with the United States, I have to say that Lao Mei is indeed powerful, and the equipment is indeed not comparable to us, but we are not bad, and Lao Mei is deadly knocked, is it a big deal to die, and in the end we won the war, so there is nothing great about the little devil and the old American devil." Old Man Tang seemed to be caught in the memory.
