Mr. Zhao is also surnamed Zhao, but the "Zhao Lao" in his mouth refers to one person.

One of the founders of the 419 Office, known as the "Heavenly Machine Department", is still active in the second line, that is, the old Zhao Peng and Zhao who once imprisoned the South China Sea crocodile in a small black house.

Or rather, Shang Liang's new master.

The question is, what is he looking for me?

I asked Mr. Zhao, he shook his head and said the intention of the leader, how can I understand it? If I knew everything, I wouldn't be messing around here, right?

I saw him smiling and groaning, as if I had made a mistake, so I didn't ask any more questions, and I followed him away.

In the office on the east side of the second floor of the red brick building, Mr. Zhao knocked on the door respectfully.

As I was leading in, I saw a burly old man with silver hair, looking out the window at the playground in the distance.

He looked out at the view, and when we were all in the house, he turned around.

This is an old man who looks quite majestic, his face is full of red, and he has two well-groomed white beards on his lips, which are thicker than Ma Yiao's before, and his eyes are bright, as if they can pierce people's hearts.

The old man Zhao Peng in my impression should be a centenarian, dying of old age, but at this moment, it seems that he is only sixty, the year of the sixtieth year.

Of course, the age of the practitioner is difficult to see.

Some people are more than half a hundred years old, but they are as delicate as a girl.

Ma Sifan is nineteen years old, but he is like thirty-four or five...... Hahaha, this guy, is an exception.

Looks naturally mature.

I bowed down and greeted Teacher Zhao, the old man stared at me, and after a long time, he said: "Teacher Zhao, you have worked hard, I want to say a few words to Comrade Hou Mo." ”

Teacher Zhao nodded, said okay, and then retired.

When the office door was closed from the outside, there was silence in the room.

The deathly silence brought me a strong sense of oppression, and with it, breathless fear.

This is the first time I have met this old Zhao.

But there are many entanglements between us.

He looked at me and didn't speak, and after about five minutes, I heard the old man say slowly: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person valued by Lao Bai, calm and calm, and a great general." ”

When he said this, my heart, which was in mid-air, finally fell.

Who is Lao Bai?

Old man Bai, Bai Zhitian.

Don't look at him now, he is just a retired doorman from college, but in the past, like this Zhao Lao, he was a person who worked in the heavenly machine, and he was also an old man in the court.

This can be seen from the respect of Su Lie and others.

It's just calm and calm, is that my performance just now?

I raised my head and looked at Zhao Lao.

The two looked at each other, and his sunken eyes were full of calm.

Although he was a little shorter than me, and his body was a little clumsy because of his age, I didn't know why, but I always had the feeling that the other party was condescending and looking down on me.

I felt like I was being seen transparently.

I give it up and say you compliment.

Zhao Lao said calmly: "Actually, I didn't mean anything else when I called you over, Lao Bai called me and told me about your situation, let me take care of you more, and help mention one or two people who can make Lao Bai so picky and turtle-haired, except for women, men, I haven't seen a few, so I specially called you to come and see who the characters are." ”

Old white man, how can you explain it like this?

Hearing this, my heart was full of gratitude to the old man who didn't seem reliable at all, and I said respectfully: "You are too polite. ”

Zhao Lao said that it was not me who was polite, but Lao Bai, if it weren't for the chaotic relationship between men and women, maybe he would be able to be the leader of the Heavenly Machine But even so, his influence is still very strong now, since he opened his mouth, I will naturally take good care of you. But don't get me wrong, the so-called "care" is a stricter, more serious training, can allow you to get a solid improvement in this short-term special training, so you will work harder than others, I called you over today, but also want to mention you more, don't think it's the school, have opinions on you, you know?

I said respectfully, "Of course not." ”

Seeing that I was respectful and calm, without any complaints, Zhao Lao was very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said to me: "Very good, very good, among the young people now, there are not many people who can have such an attitude as you, right, I heard that there is some misunderstanding between you and Shang Liang?" ”

Misunderstand?

Although I had already been mentally prepared in my heart, I felt that Zhao Lao would definitely talk about the matter between me and Shang Liang, after all, that kid was a closed disciple that Zhao Lao had just accepted.

But I didn't expect that his old man would directly define this matter as a "misunderstanding".

What is a misunderstanding?

Is there a misunderstanding between me and Shang Liang?

That's naked, murder.

I was a little angry in my heart, but in front of Zhao Lao, I didn't dare to attack.

What kind of person is Shang Liang, how can he hide it in front of the Heavenly Machine? He was arrested even before that, and if you want to say that Zhao Lao doesn't know Shang Liang's character, I don't believe it.

Even if he didn't know before he took in the apprentices, someone would inevitably tell him afterwards.

After all, it is a heavenly department, and the political trial is definitely stricter than other places, but now, Zhao Lao is defining this matter as a "misunderstanding", and I know what kind of attitude he is upholding.

Would I be stupid enough to talk to this old man who has gone through ups and downs to explain the internal reasons and embarrass both parties?

No.

So I bowed down, nodded, and said yes, there was indeed a misunderstanding.

Zhao Lao was very satisfied with my attitude, and said: "Young people, uncertain temperament, will always make some messy things, in this matter, you all have some problems, all say that there are four irons in life, now that you can sit together and become classmates, you must communicate more and eliminate misunderstandings, you are right." ”

I said it was.

Zhao Lao clapped his hands, and after three times, he said, "Come in." ”

The door squeaked, and a person walked in, it was Shang Liang, who glanced at me, and then bowed to Zhao Lao and said, "Master, I'm here." ”

Zhao Lao glared at him, what did he say, Master, I told you, in public, you are a student of the training camp, and I am an honorary teacher hired by the Tianji Department, that's it, you know? If you don't learn well at a young age, what kind of master and apprentice will you engage in feudal society?

As soon as he came up, he set the tone, Shang Liang didn't dare to fight, so he quickly nodded and said yes, yes, Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Lao pointed at me and said, "I talked to Comrade Xiaohou just now, what about the matter between you, there is indeed a misunderstanding, now you apologize to others and strive to get forgiveness from others, do you know?" ”

In front of Zhao Lao, Shang Liang is a good boy.

After hearing the reprimand, he hurriedly said to me respectfully: "Classmate Hou Mo, we had some misunderstandings before, here, I apologize to you, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

He spoke respectfully, as if he were a child who recognized his mistakes.

But as soon as I remembered the face he had seen me in the cafeteria in the morning, I knew that it was just a superficial phenomenon.

Can a dog change to eat?

No.

So is Shang Liang's apology real?

No.

But I had to make a look of knowing the righteousness, and said to him: "Since it was a misunderstanding, the past will be over, you and I are classmates, this is fate, and we will deal with it slowly in the future, and the future will be long." ”

Seeing me behaving like this, Zhao Lao was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Seeing you energetic young people, I can't help but think of when I was young. Alas, the years are not forgiving, old, old, you don't have enough energy to go out, since you are classmates, it is good to care for each other, help each other, and make more contributions to the country and society, this is the right reason. ”

When we heard this, we bowed and left.

When I went out, Shang Liang bowed his hand to me and said that I would go first and see you back.

With that, he turned away, and the moment he turned back, I could see the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

That small amplitude can make me feel that the pride and arrogance in his heart have not diminished in the slightest.

I also turned away and admonished myself in my heart.

Back then, Han Xin was able to be humiliated by people's crotch.

Why can't I?

For the sake of the candle flame, in order to be able to live, no matter what I am asked to do, I will not hesitate, let alone get along with a guy like Shang Liang, on the surface?

Life is so long, one day, this old Zhao will pass away.

At that time, who could be Shang Liang's backer?

Therefore, one's own strength is the right reason.

Everything else, nothing more.

Clouds.
