From what I heard, Gu Hongyan mentioned a woman, her name seemed to be something. As for her last name, I didn't catch it clearly.

This was quite surprising to Li Yuanlang.

I feel like my father-in-law has always kept a clean mind and doesn't seem to have anything to do with any women, right?

However, when the old couple saw Li Yuanlang come in, they immediately shut up and glared at each other, leaving them secretly holding their breath.

At this moment, Shui Tingyue held on to the stair railing and slowly walked downstairs.

Li Yuanlang rushed over quickly and took his wife's hand, fearing that something might happen to her accidentally.

"I heard you guys bickering upstairs, and I didn't stop even if I wanted to sleep." Shui Tingyue looked at her father, then her mother, and muttered angrily.

Gu Hongyan argued: "Your father has become more successful and has become a senior official. He has also learned how to attract bees and butterflies. He wants to have a family outside of home."

"Don't talk about unnecessary things and be careful about the impact. The child is still here." Shui Qingzhang glared at Gu Hongyan with an unhappy look on his face.

"Oh, you know you are a grandpa with a child on your back, so you don't have any sense of shame, huh!" Gu Hongyan curled her lips, and on the way to the kitchen, he called the hourly worker by name and asked her what meal she had prepared for the evening.

Shui Tingyue no longer cared about her parents' troubles, but asked when Li Yuanlang arrived home.

As soon as Li Yuanlang arrived after answering, he heard Shui Qingzhang say: "Yuen Long, come with me."

No move, Li Yuanlang shrugged apologetically, Shui Tingyue nodded slightly, and he followed Shui Qingzhang into the study.

After closing the door, he saw his father-in-law and his father-in-law with their backs to him, hands on their waists, shoulders shaking, and secretly angry.

After a while, he slowly turned around, pointed at the chair and told Li Yuanlang, "Sit down."

As usual, Shui Qingzhang was lying on the rocking chair, and Li Yuanlang sat opposite him.

"Oh, your mother is such a person. I just helped my former female classmate with some things, but she just made random assumptions and refused to let me go. It's simply unreasonable."

Li Yuanlang had no way of persuading him to do this kind of thing, and he still had a mess of problems to resolve, so what could he say.

Immediately afterwards, Shui Qingzhang changed the topic and said leisurely: "I heard that you made Wan Haiyao speechless and almost couldn't get off the stage."

"I saw him pointing out a dead end to the Gu family, so I couldn't hold it back, so I had a debate with him."

"Yeah." Shui Qingzhang nodded slightly, "That's what Ah Cai meant when he called me. At first, he invited Wan Haiyao here because he wanted to hear his analysis. I felt that there was something different in what he said.

It means wooing the Gu family. Chen Zifeng recruits troops under that banner, which is essentially to gain power for the old Chen family."

He sighed: "You are almost ninety, why don't you just stop and enjoy your old age? It would be disgusting to interfere in this kind of thing. Man, no matter how old you are, you will never throw away the scepter."

.”

Li Yuanlang tasted it carefully and asked puzzledly: "Why did Chen Zifeng do this? I used to think that he was quite low-key."

"It depends on why he keeps a low profile. His son has been on a great rise in recent years, and has experienced the first and second positions in Guangdong Bay Province. After two terms of the bureau committee, this time he has set his sights on a higher position.

, I want to fight for a spot.”

"Chen Zifeng himself is from Guangdong Bay Province. He has been in his hometown for a long time and has managed Guangdong Bay as the private land of the old Chen family. Water cannot be poured out and a needle cannot penetrate. Bai Qing's father has long complained about this."

"He still doesn't know how to behave and wants to push his son to a higher position. He thinks this is the election of a township committee member, and he can do whatever he wants. This position requires many years of experience and training, and how many big people need to reach a consensus.

This is not something that happens overnight. Alas, as people get older, their brains will inevitably become confused and not as sharp as before."

Mentioning the word keen, Li Yuanlang asked: "Dad, you said that since my uncle has been in a high position for so many years, he should be aware of Feng Jinxi's affairs. Why hasn't he been aware of it so far?"

Li Yuanlang's words are correct. Gu Zhengchuan first went to Shencheng and then to Nanling Province. He has been practicing for many years. With his political wisdom, it is impossible for him to commit such a callous behavior. He has no qualms about what Feng Jinxi did.

reaction and awareness.

"I think, I really can't blame him." Shui Qingzhang murmured: "First of all, he has not been in Nanling Province for a long time. He has just established himself and has not had time to pay attention to this matter. Secondly,

Feng Jinxi has been favored over the years. He participated in this forum and went to that high-end meeting, either to meet with foreign heads of state or to hold talks with high-level officials. He was simply very glorious and prominent."

"All kinds of weird remarks were made from time to time, and they were praised as 'golden sentences' by the media. If you look at the news media at that time, every page and page were all about him. Who would have thought that this was the case?

People will receive stern warnings from high-level officials. The process from being favored to falling out of favor is so fast that it is difficult for people to react."

"Don't mention your uncle, even if it were me, I wouldn't have expected this result. Of course we won't know what the top management is considering."

"That's true. The higher the praise, the worse the fall. You see, if Feng Jinxi doesn't keep a low profile and becomes low-key, he will be miserable in the future. He can become the richest man in twenty years.

, you can also lose everything in a matter of seconds.”

Shui Qingzhang couldn't help but pick up his pipe, but there was no tobacco in it.

As soon as Gu Hongyan came back, everything at home returned to its original state and was no longer so casual.

At this time, Gu Hongyan's voice came from the living room. He didn't call anyone's name, but only shouted three words: "It's time to eat."

"Let's go eat." Shui Qingzhang stood up slowly and reminded Li Yuanlang in a low voice on the way: "After dinner, tell your mother what happened with Wan Haiyao at the dinner table."

Li Yuanlang understood by heart that Gu Hongyan must be concerned about this matter. It could just divert her attention so that she would not have to dwell on the gossip about her father-in-law, and everyone could have some peace and quiet.

Sure enough, after finishing the meal, Shui Qingzhang put down his bowls and chopsticks and left the table.

This is a good thing about the Shui family. They don't talk about things when eating, and don't eat when talking about things. Everyone, including Gu Hongyan, is pretty well-behaved.

When Shui Qingzhang walked away, Gu Hongyan couldn't wait to ask about Li Yuanlang's affairs in the capital.

Shui Tingyue didn't want to listen and yawned repeatedly.

This pregnancy is a bit strange, I feel sleepy all the time, I don’t know how many hours of sleep a day, but I just can’t wake up.

"You guys talk, I'm going upstairs first."

How could Li Yuanlang rest assured that she was alone? He quickly supported his wife and helped her go to bed before turning back and detailing his debate with Wan Haiyao, his advice to Gu Zhengchuan, and Gu Zhengchuan's decision to get Mr. Jin.

Tell Gu Hongyan.

The relationship here is too subtle. Even though Gu Hongyan is also a deputy department leader, she is relatively professional in her field and cannot understand the key points for a while.

On the other hand, Gu Hongyan didn't understand the matter of tying Mr. Jin together.

"What does my eldest brother think? According to you, if eldest brother writes this letter, the senior management will definitely look at him differently. At that time, he will be the first to take credit. Why give it to others, or give it to Jin Laohua?

Unscientific."

Just when Li Yuanlang was about to explain, Gu Hongyan simply stood up, ignoring the conflict with Shui Qingzhang, and went straight to the study, opened the door, and asked Shui Qingzhang bluntly: "Do you know what Yuen Long said?"

Shui Qingzhang was still confused when she asked him this question, but he quickly came to his senses, put down the document he was reading, took off his reading glasses, nodded and said, "I know."

"No, I have to call and ask and see what Mr. Jin has to say." No matter what, he immediately grabbed the desk phone and made a call.

However, Shui Qingzhang raised his hand to stop him and reminded him, "Don't be impatient. Listen to Yuen Long and I's analysis before you make a plan."

"Can I not be anxious? This is a matter of life and death for the Gu family. I dare you not to give up your surname Gu." Gu Hongyan rolled his eyes at Shui Qingzhang, and then showed the sense of superiority of a high-ranking family and despised everything.

"You!" Shui Qingzhang pointed at Gu Hongyan angrily. He really couldn't communicate with his wife.

Just then, Li Yuanlang came in and started to persuade: "Mom, what my dad said makes sense. You will understand when I analyze it carefully for you."

After hearing what Li Yuanlang said, Gu Hongyan just gave up and sat next to Shui Qingzhang, waiting for Li Yuanlang's answer.

Dinglingling...

A cell phone rang, not Shui Qingzhang's or Gu Hongyan's, but Li Yuanlang's.
