In the antique study, Song Lao was wearing reading glasses to read the newspaper that had just been published today. Although he has left his leadership position, Song Lao reads the newspapers of the day and the documents sent by the veteran cadre department every day, and is still very concerned about national affairs.

Director Lu knocked lightly on the door and said softly, "Chief, Xia Ruo has flown here." ”

Hearing this, Song Lao took off his reading glasses, smiled at Xia Ruofei at the door, and said, "Why are you standing? Come in and sit!"

"Yes!" Xia Ruofei replied and walked into the study.

Director Lu personally went over to help Song Lao fill the water in the teacup, and then poured Xia Ruofei a cup of tea.

Xia Ruofei hurriedly got up and thanked him - Director Lu's administrative level is the deputy department, which is the same level as the senior officials of Southeast Province, he personally poured water for Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei naturally can't accept it calmly, and the necessary politeness must still be needed.

Director Lu smiled and nodded at Xia Ruofei, then exited the study lightly, and closed the door when he went out.

There was a sudden silence in the study.

Xia Ruofei looked at Song Lao, who was sitting opposite, and found that his face was very ruddy, and he looked in good spirits, and what was even more exaggerated was that the silver hair that was originally full of hair had now turned back to black a little, turning white.

"Grandpa Song, your complexion is very good. Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's really gratifying!"

Song Lao laughed happily, stretched out his finger and pointed at Xia Ruofei and said: "This is all the credit of your little guy! The Guanyin pendant you gave me is really amazing, it didn't feel so obvious at first, and after wearing it for a long time, the effect became more and more magical, I not only grew black hair, but now I feel a little dizzy when I wear this pair of reading glasses, it is estimated that my eyes have also improved, and I have to ask Xiao Lu to match me with a new pair of reading glasses." ”

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Rejuvenation! This is a great thing!"

Gathering Spirit Jade Guanyin can gather aura to nourish the wearer all the time, naturally the longer the wearer wears, the more significant the effect, now it seems that the effect of Song Lao wearing this Jade Guanyin has gradually been revealed, and Xia Ruofei is naturally happy for him in his heart.

Song Lao said with a smile: "I want to dye my hair back white, so as not to be seen as an old monster!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing and said, "Grandpa Song, it's not so exaggerated......! Even if it is dyed, it will be dyed black! How can anyone dye black hair white?"

"That's fine. Song Lao said with a smile.

In fact, when he held a leadership position, his hair was dyed black, of course, it was out of the need for the country's image, after all, as a leader, he would be on the TV news almost every day, and after he retired, he would not dye his hair at all, you must know that hair dye is also bad for the body, even if it is advertised as pure natural, it is impossible to be harmless at all.

Song Lao then said: "And the Zhong Kui ornament you gave last time is also very unusual! In the past, this old house always had a shady feeling, and it was more or less uncomfortable after living for a long time, but after inviting that ornament, I felt that the air was much warmer, and the staff at home looked much better!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's good to be able to help!"

Song Lao sighed with emotion: "Ruofei! It is really the luck of our Song family to meet you." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my old bones would have been playing chess with my old comrades-in-arms in Babaoshan by now. In the past two years, our Song family has been smooth sailing, and in the final analysis, it is thanks to the original rejuvenation skill!"

Xia Ruofei said: "Grandpa Song, you are so polite! You are the general I admired the most when I was a soldier, and it is also my honor to be able to contribute to your health!"

Xia Ruofei knew that Song Lao had brought the topic here, and he should have been talking about the Liu family, so he only said a few polite words, then closed his mouth, looked at Song Lao with clear eyes, and waited for his next words.

Song Lao glanced at Xia Ruofei and asked lightly, "Did Xiao Rui tell you?"

Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment and said, "Did you talk about the Liu family?" What he said was not very detailed...... It's just that the old man of the Gao family came to look for you. ”

Song Lao smiled and said, "You don't have to be nervous. Lao Gao came to me, and it was for Lao Liu's business, I hope I can persuade you to take action. ”

Xia Ruofei looked at Song Lao quietly and didn't speak, he knew that Song Lao must have made a decision a long time ago, all he needed was to listen.

Of course, it is impossible for Song Lao to force him, if he is really unwilling, it is useless for Tianwang Laozi to intercede, although Taoyuan Company is in China, but in the final analysis, the core competitiveness has nothing to do with domestic farms and pharmaceutical factories, if he is in a hurry, Xia Ruofei can go directly abroad.

Most of his funds are in overseas accounts, and as long as the Lingtu space is there, it is not difficult to build another Taoyuan company, and what is lost is only the money invested in the early stage.

Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't want to come to this point unless he had to, and he also believed that Song Lao should not force himself to do what he didn't want to do.

Song Lao immediately said: "You know, Lao Gao saved my life again, if he hadn't carried me off the battlefield back then, I would have died a long time ago, how could I become a general, or even a national leader?"

Speaking of this, Song Lao's words turned again, looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "But I told Lao Gao, he is my savior, and you are also my savior." It is impossible for our Song family to force our life-saving benefactor to do something that we are not willing to do, and if someone wants to use the influence of the family to force you, our Song family will definitely not sit idly by!"

When Xia Ruofei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

To be honest, Song Lao was able to talk about this, which already showed how important Xia Ruofei was in his mind.

In any case, Old Man Gao is an old comrade-in-arms of Song Lao, and an old comrade-in-arms who lives and dies together, and now the Gao family is also a big family, and in terms of strength, Xia Ruofei can't even compare to a single hair of the Gao family.

But Song Lao was able to make such a tough statement for him, even at the expense of offending his life-saving benefactor, Xia Ruofei was a little moved in his heart.

After Song Lao said this, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Ruofei, the reason why I called you over today is not to put pressure on you, but to give you a reassuring pill." You just need to do this with your own heart, and you don't need to worry about the influence of the Liu family and even the Gao family. ”

"Grandpa Song, thank you......" Xia Ruofei's voice was slightly choked.

Song Lao waved his hand and said: "This is what I should do, this matter itself was caused because you treated me, and it was also our confidentiality work that was not in place." And you don't have to have any psychological burden, the current situation is like this, if Lao Liu can't last long, the Liu family will definitely be obscure at this stage, and will never show its edge; you don't have to worry about the Gao family, although Lao Gao and I have moved around less over the years, but after all, we are comrades in the trenches, and there are not many old brothers alive now, and he still has to give me face, after all, ...... His body is much worse than mine......"

When Song Lao said this, a faint domineering spirit was revealed, and Xia Ruofei seemed to see the powerful general in his memory in a trance.

After retiring, Song Lao became more and more peaceful, and rarely showed such a sharp edge.

After Xia Ruofei listened to Song Lao's words, he pondered for a long time before asking, "Grandpa Song, I want to know...... If nothing else, what do you want me to do?"

Song Lao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Shouldn't this matter be subject to your opinion? Why are you still asking me what I think?"

"Because your position is also very important!" Xia Ruofei grinned, "If you don't want me to treat the old man of the Liu family, then I won't say a word, and I'll pack up my things and return to Sanshan when I go back today!"

"You little slippery head!" Old Song couldn't help but laugh and curse, and then asked meaningfully, "What if I want you to help him properly?"

Xia Ruofei had expected it, and he immediately said without hesitation: "Then I can think about it, at least I won't refuse." ”

Song Lao's eyes showed a hint of relief, he sighed, and then said: "Ruofei, my opinion is just a reference, the reason why I haven't said it before is also afraid of affecting your decision, since you asked, then I'll tell you my opinion!"

Xia Ruofei nodded, looked at Song Lao, and made a listening appearance.

Song Lao said: "I said before, an old guy who came out of the trench back then, and now there are not many left. Other factors aside, I don't want Lao Liu to leave so early, especially if there is still a chance to save it. But then again, the Liu family has also created a lot of trouble for our Song family over the years, whether it is in the political field or the business field, there are a lot of constraints on us, from this point of view, if Lao Liu is gone, the Liu family is not worried......"

Song Lao said very frankly, and he didn't hide his tangled and contradictory psychology in front of Xia Ruofei at all.

To tell the truth, at the level of Song Lao, he usually doesn't talk about the clouds and mountains and fog covers, at least he has to imply the edge, and it is absolutely impossible to say things so bluntly. He also regarded Xia Ruofei as his own nephew, so he said these words without any scruples.

Xia Ruofei smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I understand......"

Song Lao was stunned for a moment and asked, "You understand? I haven't even figured out what position I want to uphold, but you already understand?"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Grandpa Song, you are a fan of the authorities! Actually, after hearing your words, I still admire you very much!"

Indeed, if Old Song frankly said that he didn't want the old man of the Liu family to have hope of survival, Xia Ruofei would not feel that there was anything wrong, after all, from the perspective of the family, it was the best result. But Song Lao still expressed his reluctance to the comradeship back then, which is a very rare flash of human nature.

A person is human because he is an emotional animal. If everything is based on the pros and cons, and the interests are considered, then from the perspective of human nature, there is something missing.

Song Lao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you say the opposite!"

Xia Ruofei said with a straight face: "How dare I sarcastically mock your old man! These are all my words from the heart!"

Song Lao asked with a smile: "Ruofei, you just said that you understood, have you already decided what to do?"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and said, "Almost! I already have a rough charter." ”

In fact, Xia Ruofei already had a basic principle before he came.

Now that the Liu family has learned of his strength in medical skills, directly refusing is undoubtedly the most unwise choice, although Xia Ruofei is not afraid of trouble, it does not mean that he likes to be troubled.

And if you directly agree to treat Old Man Liu, first of all, Xia Ruofei will not be able to pass this hurdle in his own heart - you will give in if people exert a little pressure, and will you have a little backbone? And giving the Liu family a lively pillar is not in the interests of Xia Ruofei, nor is it in the interests of the Song family.

So he needs to find a balance in between.

In fact, this is very similar to Song Lao's mentality.

The difference is that Song Lao is just struggling, but in fact, he gave the choice to Xia Ruofei, and did not exert any influence on Xia Ruofei at all, but stood up to Xia Ruofei as a strong backing;

Now Song Lao's mentality basically coincides with his considerations, which naturally strengthens his inner decision.

gave Xia Ruofei a strong backing, and the only thing Xia Ruofei needed to consider in this choice was how to minimize his troubles and maximize the benefits in this matter.

Now Song Lao's mentality basically coincides with his considerations, which naturally strengthens his inner decision.
