Chen Yuchen was asleep, but Ye Ji was busy.

Originally, after waiting for a day, Zeng Rui, who had always been quite calm, was already a little anxious, and was about to go downstairs to buy Kaiselu.

After receiving the good news from Yida, I began to rush to contact people to inquire about various matters.

Why? Because in Zeng Rui's life of more than 20 years, he really has never been in contact with a big man like Chen Lao.

If this had been placed hundreds of years ago, it would have been regarded as a feudal official.

Although it is said that Chen Lao has gradually delegated power, for Zeng Rui, it is still a relationship with heaven.

Zeng Rui, who was busy until the second half of the night, didn't know how to meet the leader, fell asleep.

...

As soon as the morning dawned, Zeng Rui got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, shaved his beard clean, and stood in front of the mirror and changed into a straight black suit.

At a glance, he can be regarded as a human being, and he himself is quite satisfied.

At 8:10, after parking the car in the district compound, Zeng Rui walked into the office building with his hands in his pockets.

After registering his information at the door, Zeng Rui walked into Chen Lao's office on time at half past eight.

"Hello Mr. Chen!"

Knocking on the door and walking into the office, Zeng Rui respectfully saluted Chen Lao.

"Sit." Old Chen, who was sitting at the desk, waved his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him and said.

"Huh!" Zeng Rui nodded and sat opposite Chen Lao generously.

Chen Lao didn't say anything, took off his glasses and put them on the table, looked at Zeng Rui with a torch in his eyes and asked, "Young man, do you know who is standing behind Li Quan and Wu Chen?" ”

Zeng Rui was not stage frightened, nodded and replied: "I understand, the two of them are not only in the north of the city, but also in other urban areas. ”

Chen Lao said straight to the point: "Then you say, is it worth it for me to offend such a group of people for the sake of such a young man like you?" ”

Zeng Rui's expression was stunned, but he reacted quickly and said: "Old Chen, the question of whether it is worth it depends on what your appeal is." If there is really no need to talk, I believe that Chen Lao will not see me. ”

I have to say that Zeng Rui's hand is the right benefit of retreating as advance, and even the corners of Chen Lao's mouth flashed a smile and said: "Then how do you know that I am not willing to see you just to give face?" ”

"Huh!" Zeng Rui smiled confidently and replied, "I believe that Old Chen, your current status is definitely not obtained by giving face to others. When a person has no value, you are unlikely to be willing to waste precious time on him. ”

Back and forth, Zeng Rui grasped the scale of the two sides very accurately, and secretly praised it in a timely manner, which also made the smile on Chen Lao's face thicker.

"Maybe we can really talk."

Chen Lao, who was sitting in the office chair, leaned forward, obviously facing Zeng Rui with his relatively short stature, but he gave people a feeling of condescending and looking down.

"Okay!" Zeng Rui nodded, crossed his hands on the table and said, "Old Chen, if you need anything, just ask." ”

"What do you think you can say to me?" Old Chen tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"Old Chen, I'm really a dime kid now. It's still in this initial stage of small fights, and it's completely impossible to get into your eyes. But did you know? A year ago, I was begging for a living in an uninhabited area, and a year later, I can sit at a table with the leaders of the mayor level of the prefecture-level city and talk about things. ”

The confident smile on Zeng Rui's face did not diminish at all, and he spoke eloquently in the face of Chen Lao's question.

Unexpectedly, Old Chen shook his head and sighed: "If it's just like this, it really won't impress me." I'm only a few years away from retirement, and I probably won't be able to wait for the day when your potential will explode. ”

"Even if you retire, don't you still have to be in the Seven Cities? Doesn't your son Yu Chen still have to continue to live in Seven Cities? Zeng Rui was still unwilling to give up and continued to argue.

"You don't understand politicians. When I retreat, and you haven't gotten to where you should be, the hidden danger that was buried in the first place is simply not resistible. ”

At this moment, Chen Lao is more like an old man in the twilight.

Zeng Rui's heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, Old Chen doesn't know if you have heard of Qibei Nanfeng Mountain. ”

"Oh?"

Old Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Zeng Rui.

As the leader of the north of the city, he still knows something about the gang of outlaws in the uninhabited area outside the city.

After all, the population of the Seven Cities is more than 10 million, and the local supply alone is simply not enough to maintain the normal operation of the Seven Cities.

Not only the government, but even many powerful businessmen have set their sights on the uninhabited area outside the high walls.

On the Qibei side, if you want to transport materials in, there is only one way to go to Nanfeng Mountain in order to make a three-day detour.

Regarding the bandits on Nanfeng Mountain, even the garrison had cleared them twice but never achieved any good results, which was also clear to Chen Lao, a member of the small group of people at the top.

"The leader of Nanfeng Mountain is called Cao Zheng, I worship my brother, and he has to call me big brother in terms of seniority!"

In order to be able to catch up with Chen Lao's relationship, Zeng Rui has put his last hole card on the table.

A gleam flashed in Old Chen's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to point at Zeng Rui and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course!" Zeng Rui held his head high and replied: "Externally, my brother Cao Zheng sits on Nanfeng, and his sphere of influence will only get bigger and bigger. Internally, Wu Ye has grown from nothing within a year, and has fallen a lot, but he has never been afraid! ”

Seeing that Chen Lao's brows were slightly furrowed, he gently tapped the mahogany table top with his hand in thought.

Zeng Rui added: "Here, I can also swear to you, Old Chen." As long as I, Wu Ye, can continue to grow bigger, there can only be one between me and Li Xiao! ”

"Can you be a Li Xiaobi?"

Zeng Rui spread his hands and said: "Old Chen, if I'm not mistaken, Li Xiao didn't have more than twenty people in his hands in the year he started, and he still ate instant noodles and fried eggs during the New Year, right?" Do you know how much money we spend on light years alone during the Chinese New Year? ”

"Three hundred thousand! A full 300,000 cash to thank everyone for their sincere cooperation last year! Zeng Rui gestured with his hand to a three, and replied proudly.

"Hahaha! Your ability to paint me a picture of beautiful mountains and rivers with a mouth is not like a politician running on the road! ”

"Old Chen, I have never regarded myself as a roadrunner, I am forced to go, and no one has a choice!" Zeng Rui shrugged his shoulders and said.

Chen Lao smiled all over his face, and then said: "I have to say, what you said made me a little moved. ”

"What Elder Chen said is ugly, you must have touched many people's cakes in the north of the city for many years. None of the disputes involving interests are given in vain. For the little force behind Li Quan Wuchen, what is it in front of you? ”

Now that his hole cards have been exhausted, Zeng Rui doesn't care about increasing his chips to the maximum.

He pointed to the sky and swore: "Old Chen, you help me this time, a phone call to the warden of Chengbei Prison is just a gesture for you." But I promise that no matter what happens in the future, as long as my Wu Ye does not fall, your son Yu Chen will have no worries in this life! ”
