Qi Xuansu was not there, and Chen Jianqiu was also a little free.

Today, someone asked Chen Jianqiu to have tea.

This is a Lingnan custom that has spread to the South Seas.

It's about the secretary to get used to it, Chen Jian doesn't like to be late, and he doesn't like to enter the door in time, but is used to arriving early - to stand up for his boss.

So even if someone else invited Chen Jianqiu to tea, Chen Jianqiu had arrived an hour early.

This teahouse is located in the northwest area of Lion City, and Chen Jianqiu did not rush to the second floor to the private seat, but found a random place in the lobby on the first floor, asked for a bowl of weak tea, and drank it unhurriedly.

Today's Chen Jianqiu is not what it used to be, in the eyes of others, he is also a big man, Chief Secretary Qi, Xu Cixi's righteous son, both sides can speak, he even has a little relationship with Lan Dazhen because of the investigation of Gu Xian, in the eyes of others, this is the hand and eye to the sky.

When Qi Xuansu was away, Chen Jianqiu also had a graceful and calm momentum. However, when he was by Qi Xuansu's side, Chen Jianqiu was still as silent as ever and did not have much sense of existence.

This is not surprising, Qi Xuansu in front of Donghua Zhenren and Qi Niang and Qi Xuansu in front of the subordinates of the Taoist Mansion are also two different looks, and Qi Xuansu in front of a group of Pingzhang Dazhen people is another look.

In front of subordinates, it is difficult to carry out orders without majesty, and there is no room for too many approachable. And in front of the elders, it is necessary to correct the position of the younger generations, which cannot be overstepped.

This is the traditional Oriental relationship, and no one can get out of this cage.

Chen Jianqiu's mind was a little messy, about Qi Xuansu's report, others don't know, he knows, as the so-called prosperity and loss, he is Qi Xuansu's side, if Qi Xuansu falls, anyone can run, but he can't run away. Just look at Wang Jiaohe, Wang Jiaoying, Zheng Jiaohe and others, and you will know that none of these people's secretaries escaped.

Fortunately, Chief Qi was not there, Zhang Cixi took over the matter, and really didn't make too much splash in this matter, which made Chen Jianqiu have to admire, no wonder a figure like Chief Qi never dared to underestimate Zhang Cixi.

Recently, his stepmother and Zhang Cixi have been investigating the driving force behind this matter, and there are some clues, but there are not many clues, because they are looking for the roots, they have gone all the way to Yujing.

When it comes to Yujing, it's complicated.

That's where the big guys get together, how powerful Wang Jiaohe was in the past, he couldn't be regarded as the top person in Yujing, at least he was not qualified to sit in the front row when Jin Que was deliberating.

On the surface, it was Chief Qi who overthrew Wang Jiaohe, but everyone knows that Chief Qi is only the person who implements it, and it is the Donghua real person behind Chief Qi who really gives the order. Bringing down a Nanyang emperor, Donghua Zhenren didn't end up in person, but just behind the scenes, what kind of power is this?

There are three real people like Donghua Zhenren.

Just when Chen Jianqiu's thoughts were drifting away, the guest who asked him to have tea arrived.

The visitor was obviously stunned when he saw Chen Jianqiu - he had come half an hour early, but he didn't expect Chen Jianqiu to be earlier.

Since both of them arrived early, there was no need to talk about things at the scheduled time, and went directly to the elegant seat upstairs.

This person's surname is Deng, and he is nicknamed "Rain Master" in the rivers and lakes, and he is on the same level as Feng Bo, who was killed by Master Wan's punch.

Among the factions of the "Heavenly Court", Deng Yushi is no one, he only obeys the orders of the Jin Gong Patriarch, and he is in charge.

After the two sat down, Deng Yushi poured tea himself, and then got straight to the point: "I have made an appointment with you a few times through Tang Fuli, and it is not easy to see you."

Chen Jianqiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and replied, "This tea is good, it should be the first new tea this year, drink tea."

Deng Yushi helped down the teacup, but didn't drink: "I won't go around in circles anymore, it's all about business."

Chen Jianqiu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "How many years have you been inside and outside Nanyang, Your Excellency didn't come out to do business on the first day, you should worship on the docks, and the incense you should burn has also been burned, so there is no need to go here with me again."

"Master Chen's words are out of sight." Deng Yushi deliberately lowered his posture, "We might as well open the skylight and say something bright, Nanyang is after all."

The sky has changed, and those old relationships in the past have changed over time, entering new temples and worshipping new Buddhas."

The smile on Chen Jianqiu's face gradually faded: "Not to mention anything else, Chief Qi has been in Nanyang for three years, whether it is a temple or a Buddha, there is no 'new word'. What you have done in the past two years, you can do it in the future."

Deng Yushi said: "Master Chen said with a smile, isn't this the war in Xiposuozhou, so many refugees have poured in, many places have begun wartime control, and business is not easy to do, especially for customs clearance, you have to report to the provincial government."

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand and said, "I can report how I want, I can't represent the Daofu."

Deng Yushi helped Chen Jianqiu pour the tea again: "Master Chen is too modest, who doesn't know that you are the little chief, and you are the most trusted person of the chief Qi, as long as you speak, this matter will be secure."

"Lift me up." Chen Jianqiu covered the teacup with his hand, "Not to mention that I don't have such great ability, even if I have, I don't dare to talk nonsense. If you ask me, my answer must be according to the rules. However, wartime controls do not last long, mainly for all kinds of firearms and food, and there are even some things that I am not very clear. I still say the same thing, my main and only task is to serve the chief deputy mansion master well, and other than that, I am not directly involved in any provincial affairs. Since you mentioned Tang Fuli, then continue to contact Tang Fuli, Tang Fuli knows what to do."

Deng Yushi was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Understood. We just got straight to the point, and we didn't introduce ourselves, so Master Chen should know who I represent."

Chen Jianqiu raised his hand to help the hairpin, nodded and said, "I know, of course I know. It's just that Your Excellency should also know who is in charge of the current Daofu."

Deng Yushi said, "That's why I said that this time is different from the past."

Chen Jianqiu smiled slightly: "I am soft-spoken, I can't do your business, Your Excellency won't blame me, right?"

Deng Yushi squeezed out a little smile: "Master Chen said he was laughing."

Chen Jianqiu raised his teacup again: "Drink tea."

The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are sophisticated.

Chen Jianqiu took the initiative to get up and leave, and also took the initiative to pay for the tea.

Deng Yushi sat alone in the seat, gently rotating the thin and translucent teacup with two fingers, and was silent for a long time.

Now he is not qualified to directly ask for Qi Chief Qi Xuansu, so he can only turn around and invite this Chen Secretary, but he also eats a soft nail.

The secretary is still like this, you can imagine how high the threshold of that Chief Qi should be.

The threshold is closely related to the power base.

It is said that this Chief Qi has been in retreat recently, and he doesn't know what to do.

In Deng Yushi's opinion, this Chief Qi is a little too cherished of his wings, and it is also a little scary.

Before a man has made a fortune, he is often valued by others as a woman. For example, to measure a man's family background at the bottom, many times the most simple and direct criterion will be whether he can marry a daughter-in-law. If a man can often change the women around him, although he must be morally condemned, many people will subconsciously admit in their hearts that he is very capable.

But after a man has made a fortune, he can't be measured like this, and it would be a bit scary to be able to clean himself in terms of women's sex.

Because after being in a high position, the offensive and defensive forces are different, but instead become a woman who wants to complete the class jump and begins to hunt these high-ranking men. In other words, there are just too many temptations around. Indulging yourself and having dozens or hundreds of lovers is not called ability, because as long as you are in this position, it is not difficult to do it at all. On the other hand, restraining yourself and resisting temptation is the real skill.

It is instinct to chase money and men to chase women. Against instinct, against nature, is self-control.

How ruthless should a person be when he has given up both "wealth" and "sex"? Being ruthless to others is nothing, but being ruthless to yourself is really ruthless.

This often means that the person has greater pursuits.

Either idealistic ambition or ambition.

Who is this Chief Qi?

Desire

Revitalizing the Daomen? Or is it simply a plot to seize the power of the Daomen?

Deng Yushi didn't know, but he was sure that Qi Xuansu would definitely not be satisfied with the position of a chief deputy mansion master, or even the position of a real person in charge of the mansion.

If you want to gain a foothold in Nanyang, you can't avoid Qi Xuansu.
