Chapter 652: Retreat
In the evening, the chrysanthemums in the courtyard still bloom brightly in the evening breeze.
This is Mr. Zheng's manor apartment in the outskirts of the Justice League - Wan Qing Xuan!
In the small pavilion under the east fence in the back garden, Mad Dog Long and Gu Xiaoyue were dressed up very energetically and sat quietly on the small table in the pavilion.
Liu Yun, who was dressed in a gauze dress, personally brought four appetizers such as beef slices with sauce, kung pao chicken, Laotan peanuts, and boiled fish, as well as several famous dishes from Suzhou and Hangzhou that she cooked herself.
There are not many dishes, but they are all very delicate and tempting.
Tonight is the day when Mr. Zheng invites the Mad Dog Dragon couple to dinner alone, and this kind of treatment has not been received by more than ten people in the entire new century, which shows that the Sky City mission has made Mr. Zheng trust and value Mad Dog Dragon even more.
Liu Yun placed an antique wine bottle on the stone table again, and then showed a gentle smile: "Cucumber, Mr. Zheng rarely drinks alcohol, don't persuade him for a while." ”
Mad Dog Dragon nodded: "I remember, Sister Yun!" ”
After a short time, Mr. Zheng, dressed in a Tang costume, slowly walked through the sea of flowers, bypassed the corridor, and finally entered the small pavilion.
Mad Dog Long and Gu Xiaoyue immediately stood up, and Mr. Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Sit down, you're welcome, you two should treat this place as if it were your apartment." ”
The square table was very small, and Liu Yun got up to pour wine for everyone.
The wine is the most authentic and oldest bamboo leaf green of the Chinese people, Mr. Zheng raised his small wine glass: "Cucumber has worked hard this time, I will salute you first for this cup." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng!" The mad dog dragon hurriedly raised his glass.
After this glass of wine, Mr. Zheng sighed with satisfaction: "The special bamboo leaf green of the forty-year-old is the handiwork of Master Jiang, right?" It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed. Another drink. ”
He has a high appreciation for fine wines, beautiful women and famous objects.
Mad Dog Dragon hurriedly said: "Mr. Zheng, I also respect you for this cup!" ”
Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "It's good to be young, cucumber, I know that you are also a master of wine when I look at your gesture of raising a glass." ”
Mad Dog Dragon scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I'm not a master of wine, I'm just relatively good at drinking, and I haven't studied the quality of wine." ”
After drinking this cup, I will use chopsticks to eat, anyway, everyone understands, the mad dog dragon is so evil wherever it is placed.
Looking at the mad dog dragon eating like a tiger descending from the mountain, the smile in Mr. Zheng's eyes became even stronger, with appreciation and even a trace of envy in his eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyue hurriedly twisted it on the mad dog dragon's waist. The mad dog dragon stopped eating it right away.
Mr. Zheng smiled: "Xiao Gu, you don't need to remind him. It's better to be natural here, and I feel a much better appetite when I see cucumbers eating. ”
Gu Xiaoyue smiled bitterly: "He usually looks like this kind of hanger, I hope Mr. Zheng doesn't blame." ”
Liu Yunyan said: "Mr. Zheng is afraid that others will not be able to let go, and cucumbers are what young people should be." ”
Mr. Zheng laughed: "Well said. Young people should have the momentum and vigor of young people. To be honest, every time Chengfeng and Lao Yan accompany me to dinner. I'm really annoyed, I always feel like I'm a young man, and they're the old man. ”
Gu Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, you will always be young in our hearts. ”
Mr. Zheng shook his head and sighed: "It's not okay to be old now." If it weren't for the lack of thinking, how could this Sky City bury Yang Hong? ”
Mad Dog Dragon immediately put down his chopsticks and stopped eating and drinking, and said: "Mr. Zheng, I really blame me for being careless, I didn't expect the Wuxiang Monster Sword to be quite powerful, I was negligent for a while." ”
"I don't blame you!" Mr. Zheng waved his hand and looked at Gu Xiaoyue, "Xiao Gu, if you arrange the candidate this time, how will you transfer?" ”
"This ......" Gu Xiaoyue never expected him to ask this question.
Mr. Zheng said to Yan: "Answer truthfully, don't have any worries." ”
Gu Xiaoyue also put down her chopsticks: "I think...... Sister Wei Wei and Sister Yang shouldn't actually go. ”
"Why?" Mr. Zheng stared at her, "Tell me what you think." ”
Gu Xiaoyue groaned: "First of all, organizations like the Three Hands are not good at Yang Mou, they like to hide in the dark and hurt people with arrows, while Sister Wei Wei and Sister Yang are suitable for tough battles, and they are inexperienced in things from the side. ”
Mr. Zheng said, "Then who do you think is the most suitable person to change?" ”
Gu Xiaoyue said: "The effect of changing Sister Di Di and Sister Shui Tian is different, Sister Di Di is clever, and Sister Shui Tian is proficient in all kinds of side things, at least the two of them will not suffer the loss of three hands." ”
Mr. Zheng nodded approvingly: "Your opinion is exactly the same as mine, alas...... Yang Hong, what a loss of one of my generals......"
He sighed Gu Xiaoyue didn't dare to speak, although Qingyin was willing to apply for the new area with the two of them in this Sky City mission, but this battle Yang Hong hung up, it is said that he has dropped fourteen levels, the equipment has exploded a lot, and the skill has dropped very strictly, although he is still a core member, but in fact, it is impossible to preside over related affairs in a short period of time, so he has to hurry up and cultivate.
In this way, Mr. Zheng has one less available general.
Seeing Mr. Zheng's melancholy expression, Mad Dog Long sighed a little emotionally, it was obvious that Mr. Zheng cherished the talents in his hands more than the development of the new area.
"Why didn't you raise your objection when the decision was made that day?" The mad dog dragon looked at Gu Xiaoyue.
The person who answered this time became Liu Yun, and she smiled: "Cucumber, you also have to think about Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu has just been promoted to the headquarters, and some words are not easy to say publicly." ”
Mad Dog Dragon immediately understood, the construction of Sky City was proposed by Lu Chongyun, of course Gu Xiaoyue was not good to object, besides, the candidate was chosen by Queen Dove, if Gu Xiaoyue wanted to oppose it publicly, it would undoubtedly be to erect two internal enemies without a stable foothold.
Mr. Zheng groaned and said, "Xiao Gu, if the new district can be opened this time, would you like to go to the new district office?" ”
Gu Xiaoyue was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Zheng, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations of me." ”
Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't approve of Xiao Luti's construction this time. ”
Mad Dog Dragon said: "Then why did you agree again and send me to Sky City?" ”
Mr. Zheng sighed: "After all, Chongyun and I have been almost ten years, and he has almost honed his training in the past ten years, but Chongyun is still not mature enough, many times he still lacks a long-term vision to see the problem, he is a little less adventurous than a cucumber, bold but not big enough, and a little less calm and calm than Xiao Gu, when encountering a big problem, he is still not completely calm enough, of course, these young people have ......"
Mr. Zheng continued: "I let him make an idea this time, just let him see for himself how much we paid for the slightest mistake in a random decision. ”
Mad Dog Dragon and Gu Xiaoyue were silent, if Lu Chongyun and Queen Dove didn't have problems with the candidates this time, the final result was likely to be: they would not sacrifice Yang Hong, but they could also get the pioneer point exclusively.
Mr. Zheng said: "If it can be compared, our new century is more like a company, we feed a lot of people, you two may not know yet, Xiaoxue has roughly counted, relying on our new century in the real world to survive the players, at least more than 2,000 families, if our decision-making goes wrong, not only will there be lives here, maybe many people in the real world will be displaced......"
He was definitely not alarmist, Mad Dog Long and Gu Xiaoyue both knew that he was speaking objectively, and Gu Xiaoyue even felt that he was understating.
"Our responsibility is heavy, and it is by no means imaginable to others." Mr. Zheng's sigh was heavier, "That's why I have been refusing to retire, Chongyun still can't support the banner of the new century alone." ”
Liu Yun was surprised: "Brother Cheng, don't you really want to retire?" ”
Mr. Zheng smiled: "I have had this idea for a long time, I had this idea when I heard the news of the retirement of the king and Du Zheng, or they walked freely without the slightest fetters!" ”
Gu Xiaoyue barely squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Zheng, you are still young, you can stay in this "Ninth Continent" for at least ten or eight years......"
Mr. Zheng shook his head with a smile and said: "Xiao Gu, it's true that you are still young, I am indeed old, this is not the era of our time, why can't I think about it?" When I just entered "The Ninth Continent", I couldn't get the money to buy a bottle of nutrient solution in reality, and at that time, I was just like you, vowing to get ahead and make a career. Yes, yes, in fact, having is not what I want, what is really worth my nostalgia is the days when I set up a stall in the novice village, and that was the most unforgettable day for me......"
He is undoubtedly also an emotional person with a different and profound view of life.
Mr. Zheng was particularly in high spirits tonight, and drank another glass of wine: "I think so, the new century has added two vice president positions, and after Chongyun becomes the president of the conference, Xiao Gu and Cucumber will assist him as a new force, and Lao Fan and General Manager Lu are experienced and guide him as another traditional force, so that after I retire, the foundation of the new century will still be solid." ”
Gu Xiaoyue was shocked: "Mr. Zheng, do you really want to retire?" ”
Mr. Zheng nodded: "This idea has become stronger and stronger recently, but I can't rest assured about many things, this three-handed has been really noisy in the past two years, and the Divine Domain was also changed last year, and this young man named Dazang is not simple, when I was forty years old, I had never seen a more shrewd and powerful character than him among my peers." ”
Having said that, I couldn't take it anymore, and the four people at the table were silent for a while. (To be continued......)
