The security guard brought Scar to Lan Xinrui's office. Lan Xinrui first gave Scar a seat, and then personally brewed him a cup of hot coffee.

Scar drank the coffee in one go, wiped his mouth with his hand, looked at Lan Xinrui fixedly, and suddenly knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed vigorously.

Lan Xinrui helped him up after a while and said, "Don't be like this, when you come here, you are a guest, how can a guest kneel?" ”

Scar was deeply moved: "Mr. Lan, you are really a good person, I just heard people say it before, I don't believe it, today I have seen it." I really regret it, my scar is really not human, and I actually helped to abuse it, and almost hurt a good person. Thank you, Mr. Lan, you don't remember the villain, and you treat me, a brute, as a guest, and give me such a warm reception. ”

"This is called not fighting and not knowing, and it is also a kind of fate!" Lan Xinrui handed Scar another cup of coffee, "Your name Scar smells of blood, it sounds creepy." ”

"It's a prodigal name, a fame, when I was a child, I loved to fight with people, and I was slashed, leaving a scar. Mr. Lan, I'll change my name now. ”

"Keep it! In fact, this name is good, quite commemorative and warning. ”

Scar bowed: "Mr. Lan said to stay, I will keep it." ”

Lan Xinrui smiled lightly: "It's your right to use a name, I don't want to interfere." I said to keep, just to give a suggestion, to keep or not to keep, in the end you have to make your own decision. yes, Scar. ”

Scar was startled, and then looked at Lan Xinrui embarrassedly: "Mr. Lan, how can you call this nickname?" Don't dirty your mouth. ”

"It's a good name, and I've heard people call it for more than ten years. I remember when I was in high school, I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard this name, and then I got used to it after hearing it a lot. ”

"Mr. Lan, I have done a lot of bad things, but none of them were caused by myself, they were all used as pawns and mixed food."

"Do you want to be used as a pawn for the rest of your life, and be called by others as livestock?"

"Actually, I didn't want to do it for a long time, but I can't help it, if I leave this business, I will starve to death. Those who do what we do will not know anything but a pair of dead courage and kung fu. ”

"You can use your fists and feet on the right path, and be an upright man."

"You said it lightly, a person with a reputation like me, even if he wants to be a good person, can people believe you? Can it accept you? ”

"There is one person who can accept it, but she has the conditions."

"Who? What are the conditions? ”

Lan Xinrui deliberately kept silent, secretly observing Scar's expression. Scar fidgets restlessly, looking impatient. Lan Xinrui reminded herself that she had to be patient and let Scar's psychological defense collapse on its own in the quiet atmosphere. She read the newspaper and drank tea at the same time, as if nothing had happened.

Scar finally couldn't bear it anymore, and begged with a crying voice: "Mr. Lan, I know that only you can tolerate me and accept me, and I also know what conditions you need?" Today I am open, whether it is in the rules or not, I will tell you all the truth. ”

Lan Xinrui didn't squeak, just nodded with a straight face.

Scar swallowed and looked in the direction of the door, looking quite vigilant. When Lan Xinrui told him that the office was just about him and her, he began to say: "Mr. Lan, do you remember 'Hu Yidao'?" is Boss Hu, who snatched cultural relics in Xiantaoyuan, injured you, and was later sentenced to a 'suspended death', known as the 'No. 1 tyrant in Tucheng'. After Boss Hu went in, hundreds of his subordinates caught and fled. I turned out to be just a thug under him, and because I didn't have a big blood case on my hands, I only stayed in it for ten days before I was released. I didn't expect Boss Hu to die, but he was still disgusted and wanted to take revenge on you..."Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, sweat on his forehead like raindrops.

Lan Xinrui's expression was cold, and she pretended to be disapproving and asked, "Is it inconvenient to say yes?" ”

Scar sighed, and then said: "Mr. Lan, you may not know, Boss Hu and Deng Biao of Peach Blossom Village once had a good relationship, he heard that Deng Biao was very prejudiced against you because of the defeat of the village director, so he secretly met with Deng Biao in prison and promised to give Deng Biao 500,000 yuan, on the condition that you be driven out of Peach Blossom or let you disappear unknowingly. Deng Biao didn't agree at first, he said that you are a good official, you can't leave Peach Blossom, let alone die. But under the temptation of Boss Hu's repeated begging and heavy money, he finally promised Boss Hu to first make your reputation stink, and then drive you out of Peach Blossom. So, he found me and hired a few thugs, saying that it would only ruin your reputation, anger the villagers' resentment against you, and make you forced to leave Peach Blossom. In this way, we staged the scene of provoking the villagers and making trouble with the peach blossoms. ”

"Did you instruct the villagers to sign a collective application for a government reward for me?"

"If it's not me, how can I be so powerful? It was Deng Biao who proposed it to the villagers. He said that your influence in the minds of the villagers is too perfect, and if you step on you, the villagers will definitely not accept it, and they will not be able to break you at all. Only by lifting you up and allowing you to enjoy some special benefits can you be separated from the villagers, widen the distance between you and the villagers, cause the villagers to be dissatisfied with you, slowly make you lose the hearts of the people, and finally be isolated and helpless, pat your ass and leave. ”

"It is said that I embezzled the tourism dividends of the villagers and was also instructed by Deng Biao?"

"Yes, Deng Biao said that the tourism dividend is related to the vital interests of the villagers, and said that if you eat the villagers' dividends, it is most likely to cause panic among the villagers, causing contradictions and even conflicts."

Lan Xinrui didn't dare to believe Scar's words, but she didn't dare to believe it all. I don't dare to believe it all because since Deng Biao became the president of the Special Agricultural Products Association, he has welcomed her like a lily, and his work has been carried out impressively. I don't dare to believe it because "people's hearts are separated from their stomachs", "knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts", Deng Biao catered to her on the surface, but she didn't know what she thought in her heart.

Scar secretly glanced at Lan Xinrui, and saw that she was silent, and was anxious: "Mr. Lan, if I have half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky." If you really can't believe me, you can ask a few others... Gangsters. ”

Lan Xinrui glanced at him, slowly stood up, and smiled amiably: "Master Scar, thank you." I now formally invite you, stay in the evening, I have a treat. ”

Scar was shocked and then delighted: "No, don't hate me anymore?" ”

"It's not that I hate you, it's that I thank you."

"Thank me? Or treat me? Scar kept rubbing his hands and laughing unnaturally, obviously not believing Lan Xinrui's words.

At this time, Li Chunsheng came in with a gloomy face and glared at Scar: "Hippie smiling face, it seems that you are not telling the truth?" ”

"How dare I? What should be said and what should not be said, I said it all in one go. Scar said with some trepidation.

Lan Xinrui patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead, call your companions to go around outside, and I'll wait for you in the Lotus Hall at half past six in the evening." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lan!" Scar glared at Li Chunsheng while responding, and left the office in a panic.

Li Chunsheng was puzzled: "Mr. Lan, do you really want to invite them to dinner?" ”

Lan Xinrui smiled: "If a meal can change a person, then do you think it's worth it?" ”

"I'd like to see this effect, but I'm worried..."

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried that others will say that you don't distinguish between good and evil, and you will help and abuse."

"You think so, too?"

"No, no, I think Mr. Lan's trick is a strange trick, and it will definitely get unexpected results. IMHO, at the end of a meal, the custodian bastards are all poured under your pomegranate skirt. ”

"Isn't it just a meal? I didn't think much of it. Lan Xinrui looked at Li Chunsheng's face, "Look at your face, is there something unspeakable?" ”

Li Chunsheng handed Lan Xinrui the records of questioning the other gangsters.

Lan Xinrui browsed carefully, and sighed after reading it: "It seems that the old branch secretary is really inseparable from this matter." ”

Li Chunsheng gritted his teeth: "Just send this ungrateful old thing to the Public Security Bureau for processing." ”

"No, that's what you're up to."

"A man like him won't repent if he doesn't give him some color."

"There's a power that will make him change."

"What power?"

"Time, coupled with our tolerance."

Li Chunsheng smiled noncommittally: "People like him, the more tolerant you are, the more vicious he is." ”

Lan Xinrui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who else knows about the old branch secretary?" ”

"Probably only Vice President Xie, you and I know."

"You tell Vice President Xie that this matter should be put in your heart first, don't say it."

"How can such a big thing be hidden?"

"It's not that you are Tibetan, but that you are Tibetan, don't let the villagers know that the behind-the-scenes manipulation of this matter is the old branch secretary, otherwise the old branch secretary really can't stay in Peach Blossom. What's more, he is still the president, and there is still a lot of work for him to do. ”

"People like him can't give him a round field, you protect him everywhere and let him give him good, he is good, and he will take revenge again and again." Li Chunsheng looked uneven.

"I don't care about his personal grudge against me, as long as he can work hard for the people of Peach Blossom and do more practical and good deeds, what is personal grievances." Lan Xinrui returned the record book to Li Chunsheng, "The inquiry record must be kept carefully, if there is really a day, the old branch secretary will not repent and cause some big mess, these things will become very convincing evidence." ”

Li Chunsheng shrugged his eyebrows: "I have an idea, I deliberately reveal the situation of the inquiry record to the old branch secretary, so that he knows that we have mastered his situation, so that we can effectively restrain him." ”

Lan Xinrui smiled heartily: "I didn't expect you Li Chunsheng to make rapid progress and learn to use tricks." I think you're doing a great job, you can try it. But I remind you that it is best for you to create a platform for unintentional disclosure, so that the old branch secretary can accidentally discover the situation by himself, so that the effect will be better to achieve the purpose of 'intentional notification' through the illusion of 'unintentional notification'. ”

Li Chunsheng was pleasantly surprised: "Your trick is a 'trick' for yourself and a 'poison trick' for others, which is too terrifying." ”

"The best way to change a person through education is to 'self-knowledge', and 'self-disclosure' is far more effective than 'debunking by others'. The old branch secretary has been the branch secretary for a long time, has a strong sense of hegemony, and the most unacceptable thing is that others criticize him, and what shocks him the most is 'self-warning'. Therefore, it is counterproductive to be people like the old branch secretary, and you have to soften him from the word 'count'. Lan Xinrui sighed heavily, looked at the ceiling, and changed the topic: "Later, you will come with me and have a meal with a few gangsters, these gangsters can shake out their boss and the old branch secretary, they are very determined, which shows that they do have the intention of repentance, and they are contributing to us." ”

Li Chunsheng excused himself in embarrassment: "Mr. Lan, I really don't have an appetite for going to the table with these people." Besides, Li Hong is still waiting for me to celebrate her mother's birthday! ”

"In that case, I won't be reluctant to do it!"

After Li Chunsheng left, Lan Xinrui looked at her watch, and it was a quarter past six in the evening when the sun was setting. She hurried out of the office and walked downstairs to the Lotus Hall.

At half past six in the evening, Scar entered the Lotus Hall on time with a few thugs.

Lan Xinrui greeted them warmly like an older sister and a younger brother, stir-fried a few dishes at her own expense, and treated them with her own precious cellar wine. After the meal, she asked Conway to take them back to the county seat by car.

The news of Lan Xinrui's warm hospitality to the gangsters quickly spread throughout the peach blossoms like wings, attracting a lot of criticism. Some people say that she does not distinguish between good and evil, and bows to the extremely evil forces, and some people say that she wants to use the extremely evil forces to consolidate her position in Peach Blossom. In short, the public says justice, and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law, Lan Xinrui can't control their mouths, and she doesn't want to influence their thoughts, she only recognizes her own reasoning, that is, she does her best to transform those gangsters who may endanger the country, society and the people, and may bring interference and destruction to the development of peach blossoms, and do what she can to create a harmonious and stable social environment.
