The backyard of the Retired Cadres Bureau is an open-air garden, and in the garden, there are more than a dozen elderly people who are moving freely.

The most striking thing was the gazebo in the garden, where six or seven old men were clearly facing each other in two groups.

The confrontation here is not mutual hatred, but Chu, He, Han, and Jie.

"Lao Yan, what's the matter? If you still come, if you come again, it's the third, if you lose again, you have to contribute to the best Moutai that you have treasured for many years."

An old man with a ruddy face and a very imposing look, looking at the old man sitting on the stone bench with gray hair and eyes on the other side, but as steady as Mount Tai, said with a smile, his tone was full of ridicule.

"Lao Li, don't be complacent, it's not certain who loses and who wins? If you lose, you have to let all of us try that special panda."

"Yo, Lao Yan, are you still worried about my special panda? You still want to think about whether your bottle of superb Moutai can be kept."

"Lao Li, it's my business to keep it or not, you are worried about my bottle of excellent Moutai, it's not a day or two, but now it's still lying firmly in my pocket, don't talk about that useless, let's start."

Hearing Li Lao's words, Yan Lao looked disdainful, since his retirement, the two of them have to kill a few sets every day, although there are wins and losses, but on the whole, the level of the two is only half a catty, no one can help anyone.

"Okay, then let's start, Lao Li, you just dry your neck and wait, see how I will take your army."

Li Lao was obviously also disdainful of Yan Lao, aroused his anger, set up his own chess pieces, and looked like he was ready to attack at any time.

Prepare for the battle, shout the flag, and the war is about to be triggered.

At this moment, Wu Gui, director of the retired veteran cadres bureau, appeared in the garden, his eyes swept away, and when he saw the old secretary Yan in the pavilion, Wu Gui hurriedly walked two steps.

"Secretary Yan, Mayor Li".

"I said, Xiao Wu, it's too coincidental that you came here, this battlefield atmosphere has been broken by your voice."

Looking up at Wu Gui, Old Li's face was a little dissatisfied, and his tone was a little blameful.

The best Moutai, Yan Lao has been preserved for no less than 20 years, or when he was the secretary of the Anding Municipal Party Committee, he was received by the national leaders and gave it to him, and Li Lao's special panda has also been preserved for more than ten years. One involves the best Moutai, and the other involves the special panda, this war can be said to be quite an amazing bet, but it was completely destroyed by Wu Gui's voice.

"Well, Mayor Li, I'm really sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry and want to report to you two."

has been with Li Lao and Yan Lao for a long time, Wu Gui knows what the two of them are, although Li Lao's tone is a little blameful, but Wu Gui knows that Li Lao has no ill will towards him in his heart.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly".

Yan Lao glanced at Wu Gui and urged, looking at his expression, he was still thinking about Li Lao's special panda.

"Elder Yan, Mayor Zhang is here and wants to see you."

"Who"?

Wu Gui's words made Elder Yan look up, not only him, but the other old men who heard Wu Gui's voice were also a little surprised.

"Elder Yan, Mayor Zhang of the municipal government, I want to see you, you see"?

Looking at Yan Lao, Wu Gui repeated it again with certainty, but the tone was a little low.

"Mayor Zhang, the new baby mayor of Anding City, what is he doing here?"

After confirming that it was Zhang Zetao, Yan Lao frowned slightly, restrained his expression, and showed contemplation.

"Tell him that I'm not available, let him go back."

After pondering for a while, as if thinking of something, Yan Lao said in a deep voice, but his tone was a little lonely.

"Lao Yan, look at you, no matter what, people are also mayors, come to visit you, an old leader, why do you still have this attitude"?

"Xiao Wu, you go and bring Mayor Zhang over, I became the mayor of a city at a young age, I'm quite curious."

Li Lao glanced at Yan Lao and said with a smile, and at the same time picked up the thermos teacup next to the pilasters of the pavilion and moistened his throat.

"Lao Li"?

Listening to Elder Li singing against himself, Elder Yan's tone was a little blameful, and the expression on his face was a little stiff.

"What, Lao Yan, you don't want to see it, can't I see it?"

As if he hadn't seen the expression on Elder Yan's face, Elder Li still said with a smile. Although Li Lao and Yan Lao are in the retired cadres sanatorium, they choke on a few sentences from time to time, but if you want to say who knows Yan Lao best, it is none other than Li Lao.

Over the years, although Yan Lao didn't care about the political situation of Anding City on the surface, Li Lao knew that Yan Lao's heart had never let go of Anding City, which gave birth to him and raised him. The reason why he refused to meet those government officials who came to visit was just because, in the current Anding City, Yan Lao couldn't manage it if he wanted to.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you invite Mayor Zhang over quickly."

Hearing Elder Li's words, Wu Gui looked at Elder Yan and saw Elder Yan looking unhappy, but he didn't say anything, Wu Gui, who was familiar with Elder Yan, had already comprehended it.

"Mayor Li, wait a minute, I'll invite Mayor Zhang over immediately."

After finishing speaking, Wu Gui hurriedly turned around and left quickly, lest Elder Li or Elder Yan change their minds.

"Mayor Zhang".

Hurriedly returned to the office, and saw Zhang Zetao sitting in a guest chair waiting for him, Wu Gui hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted.

"Oh, Director Wu, how's it going"?

Seeing Wu Gui coming back, Zhang Zetao stood up and asked in a low voice, his tone more or less expectant.

"It's ......".

Zhang Zetao came to see Secretary Yan, but Secretary Yan didn't want to see him, but Mayor Li wanted to see him, which made Wu Gui a little unsure of how to express it to Zhang Zetao.

Looking at Wu Gui's expression, Zhang Zetao frowned, feeling a little disappointed.

"Why, Director Wu, Old Secretary Yan doesn't want to see my ......."

"No, it's not".

Hearing Zhang Zetao's words and looking at Zhang Zetao's expression, Wu Gui hurriedly said. Thinking of the situation in the garden just now, Wu Gui hesitated and said in a compromise.

"That's right, Mayor Zhang, Mayor Li of Hongyang City wants to see you, and Secretary Yan is also there."

"That's good, it's okay, I've heard that Mayor Li is a stable person, and I happened to visit together today."

Although Wu Gui didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Zetao naturally heard from Wu Gui's words that Old Secretary Yan didn't plan to see him at all. It's just that Mayor Li wants to see him, and Secretary Yan doesn't want to refute Mayor Li's face.

In Zhang Zetao's heart, no matter who he sees, as long as he sees it, there is hope, so as to take the first step in Anding City and gain a firm foothold.

As Wu Gui walked through the garden, looking at the old men sitting in the pavilion at the moment, especially the two people who were holding chess pieces and constantly rushing to kill, Zhang Zetao knew that the target of his coming here was these two people.

Originally, Zhang Zetao only wanted to visit Secretary Yan, after all, Secretary Yan retired from the position of secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Anding City, and he was the direct leader of Anding City. However, since Mayor Li is involved, it is best for Zhang Zetao to convince him at the same time.

"Lee City ......".

Seeing that Wu Gui wanted to speak, Zhang Zetao hurriedly stopped him, Zhang Zetao walked to the garden pavilion not without a sound, but Li Lao and Yan Lao did not raise their heads, which is not difficult for Zhang Zetao to guess why, coupled with the official and business system in his mind, Zhang Zetao was clear about the careful thoughts in the hearts of the two old leaders.

To tell the truth, testing Zhang Zetao, who has an official and business system, is a big mistake by Li Lao and Yan Lao, and it is destined to have no results.

Time passed in a hurry, as if it had been discussed, and no one in the pavilion spoke to Zhang Zetao, as if Zhang Zetao was transparent.

Detecting the hearts of all the old men into the official and business system, Zhang Zetao smiled bitterly, and at the same time, he also stood beside Yan Lao, observing the game between Yan Lao and Li Lao.

"General".

Maybe Yan Lao knew that the new baby mayor was beside him, and he was a little absent-minded, but after a mistake, Li Lao seized the opportunity and killed him to his lair.

"Huh"?

Staring at the enemy general who had killed the lair, Yan Lao frowned, and could only dispatch troops to protect the lair.

The momentum was unforgiving, Li Lao seized the opportunity, the offensive was like a tide, the momentum was like a bamboo, and in a blink of an eye, the enemy's three generals had already approached the entrance of the city.

"Haha, Lao Yan, this time I want to see how you can break it"!

Li Lao, who was in a good situation on his side, had an unconcealable smile on his face, looking at Yan Lao, who was frowning, as if he had seen the best Moutai that had been packaged, and was beckoning to him.
