Chapter 387: Sticking to each other
The pine trees in the presidential palace climbed upwards, and the higher they went, the thinner they became. Dense pine needles are crowded together, and the trees on both sides separate the path in the middle, making it even cooler in late autumn.
In front of a row of rooms deep in the mansion, only a pointed point of a pine tree could be seen in the distance. Without obstruction, the light penetrates into the room without hindrance, and even if the sky is gradually darkening, it does not affect the vision of the room.
The two people standing in the room were separated by a table, but a few meters away, it seemed like a chasm, and neither of them wanted to cross it.
The two pairs of opposing eyes stared at each other's faces and eyes, and they couldn't miss each other's expressions for a moment.
But one is sharp and the other is indifferent.
"How's that, you haven't been back for so long, don't you feel anything?"
The president sat behind a desk with a smile on his face that was indifferent but not arrogant.
Du Xiao looked at him coldly, his voice was mixed with ice, "This place is no different from a cage, no matter when I come in, I will only feel disgusted and disgusted, and nothing else!" ”
The cold words were particularly harsh, but the president only frowned, and then said with a smile, "This place that makes you sick and bored has also raised you for a bad time, and it seems that you were really wronged during those days." ”
Du Xiao just wanted to provoke the president, but the president's attitude obviously did not achieve his expected effect, he stared at the president with a little more puzzlement and temptation in his eyes, flashed a few times and quickly covered it up, refusing to reveal a point.
"Du Xiao, you are just too young, you can't wait to write everything on your face, why can't you calm down?" The president's tone was not preachy, but he still saw disgust and disdain on Du Xiao's face.
The president maintained an indifferent attitude, looking at Du Xiao's eyes as if he was looking at a child with a temper, just quietly waiting for him to vent his emotions, and then stop talking again.
Du Xiao couldn't understand the president's mind more and more, he thought that after going through an incident, no matter what the result was, the president would definitely have a set of rhetoric waiting for him, instead of never mentioning it like now, just observing his attitude, whatever he said was like hitting cotton and had no effect.
He wanted to see the president get angry, so that he could have a chance to achieve his goal, but the president's attitude was unstable, he was too lazy to waste time here, and directly stated the purpose of his trip, "You have already seen the results you should see, from now on, please don't interfere with me anymore!" We walked on the same side of the road. ”
Du Xiao's words sounded like a joke to the president, and he smiled and said, "Du Xiao, are you sure you can get out of the way?" ”
"What do you mean?" Du Xiao was like a frightened beast, and his whole body tensed.
"What do you mean? You're asking me? The president couldn't believe it, "It's obvious, don't you still understand?" ”
Du Xiao, who looked at it with disdain, was even more bored in his heart, and he turned his head away and stopped talking. In just a few minutes, he figured out the reason, he pressed his heart, forced himself to stabilize his voice, and said, "I am not the only one who can doubt, and no one can rely on me without real evidence." ”
He said with a sudden sense of relief, "And, no matter what my relationship with you is, my identity in front of people is still your son. The so-called, not to teach, the father's fault. You have time to show off your despicable vanity in front of me, you might as well take care of the follow-up, in case it burns over, it will be too late! ”
"Do you still know that you are my son?" The president didn't change his face because of his words, and there was still an indifferent smile on his face, "You should have heard the phrase "righteous killing relatives, right?" ”
He successfully saw a little annoyance and resentment in Du Xiao's eyes, and continued, "Father's fault is indeed a good gimmick, but a righteous killing of relatives seems to be more lively than ordinary things. As a father, we do have a responsibility to teach our children, but human nature is difficult to change. If an adult can't restrain his behavior, I think that as a father, if he kills his relatives in righteousness, he will be forgiven by the world, don't you say? ”
Du Xiao's eyes became colder and colder as he looked at the president, mixed with frost, "Did you call me over just to threaten me?" If you think that's going to scare me, I'm going to disappoint you! ”
"No, no, no," the president said, shaking his head, "I don't mean to scare you, I can only be a threat." You also know that the cooperation between us is not consensual, and it is not impossible that you will defect halfway, since we all take what we need, I always have to think about my own interests, right? ”
The president's words were very reasonable, but Du Xiao only felt cold and angry when he heard it. He suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and said, "Since I have already helped you complete the things you have explained, do you think your current threat will be useful to me?" A mutually beneficial cooperation is of course what both parties want to see, but if one side has to make an inch and does not know how to converge, it is a big deal to die and the net is broken, and it is not necessarily the worst way. ”
The president's indifferent eyes finally loosened a little, and his eyes as he looked at Du Xiao gradually cooled, "Du Xiao, I have always admired your recklessness." Sometimes going your own way doesn't get you the results you want. All people in the world are social animals, and no one can live alone from the group. If you think you're good enough, you can compete with me and see who will be the winner! ”
Du Xiao only looked at him and didn't speak, now is not the best time to break the net with the president, it is not good for him to be too early. He has no status in Nancheng at all, and no matter who he fights with, he can't taste any good fruits. It's better to recharge your energy, and when the time comes, it's not too late to start!
"I hope you don't bother for a while, after all, you're on the cusp right now. If someone was negligent or careless and I was implicated, I don't know what I would do. ”
"I don't need you to remind me of this, I naturally know." The president finally heard what he wanted to hear, "But I heard that they have caught a clue now, as for whether it can be broken, everything still depends on you, understand?" ”
Du Xiao looked at him contemptuously, his voice was more disdainful than his eyes, "Don't worry about it, I know it myself!" ”
"If you need my help, for the sake of us being father and son, maybe I'll consider reaching out to you."
The president suddenly became more generous.
Du Xiao refused without thinking about it, "No need, it's useless to look good." I want you to stay away from me, and it's better that we don't see each other, it's a hundred! ”
