"It's a pity that I'm not a soldier and don't need to know!"

Tang Ling smiled sweetly and squinted her big, sparkling eyes, which were full of agility and cunning.

Hearing Tang Ling's words, Zeng Yuanqing's beard almost flew up with anger. This girl must be too courageous. She knew who he was and she dared to tease him. Tang Ling's demeanor and tone were clearly making fun of herself. He was not alone.

The dignified commander of the military region was tricked by a little girl.

"Aren't you afraid that I will fire you? You must know that a place with such good treatment as the Du family can't be found anywhere."

It didn't work either softly or hard, and it didn't work either by using one's status. He simply threatened her, but this threat was of no use to Tang Ling.

"Well, you are right, the Du family's treatment should be pretty good, so are you looking for a job to earn some pocket money for yourself after retirement?"

Since Zeng Yuanqing regarded her as a maid, of course she could also treat him as an elderly migrant worker. Zeng Yuanqing was completely defeated by Tang Ling this time. He opened his mouth for a long time but didn't say anything. This girl is not old and has a mouthful of words.

Pretty awesome.

There was no way. People of their time could lead troops and fight, but they really couldn't get any advantage by talking to others.

Tang Ling smiled at Zeng Yuanqing, then turned around to enter the hall, walked to the main door, paused, turned around, and saw Zeng Yuanqing still in the same posture as before.

"If you really want to grow vegetables, I suggest you plant some vegetables that are in season now. Planting Chinese cabbage in spring seems a bit early."

After that, she smiled at Zeng Yuanqing and entered the hall. When Tang Ling came in, Mrs. Du had not come down from upstairs yet, walked to the sofa and sat down.

As soon as Tang Ling sat down, Mrs. Du slowly came down from upstairs as if she knew Tang Ling had arrived.

"You are very punctual, never late and never early."

Turns out he stood up and smiled slightly, "Good moral character is worth having."

Mrs. Du nodded towards Tang Ling, and then the two of them sat down. The housekeeper prepared tea and then withdrew.

"Can this tea be returned to your mouth?"

Mrs. Du took a sip, then put down the tea cup and looked at Tang Ling, as if she was really asking Tang Ling for her opinion on the tea.

"To be honest, Mrs. Du, I don't understand tea. To me, tea is just a condiment. What really quenches my thirst is this water."

Mrs. Du looked at Tang Ling, with a different meaning in her eyes. After a while, she nodded, "Yes, there are many things in life that are too complicated. It is indeed easy for people to be dazzled and it is not easy to see the truest side. You

Even though he is young, he sees things clearly."

Tang Ling smiled lightly. She gave Mrs. Du the jadeite and the box containing the jadeite. With Mrs. Du's mind, how could she not guess that she had put all the thought into it? So there was no need for her to pretend to be stupid with Mrs. Du. Her

The purpose is very clear, not to celebrate her birthday, but to attract Mrs. Du's attention.

"Mrs. Du praised me. I'm just more willing to express myself frankly."

Mrs. Du nodded, "Shanghai does have many development opportunities, but many opportunities mean high risks. If you want to gain a foothold here, I'm afraid you have to be prepared for a long-term battle."

Tang Ling nodded without commenting. She knew that Mrs. Du was teaching her and at the same time warning her.

"Are you here today for An Pingfeng or Tang Yifeng?"

Mrs. Du suddenly asked, and what she said was "Tang Yifeng." It was obvious that Mrs. Du should already know about the relationship between Tang Ling and Tang Yifeng, but she didn't realize that this old lady seemed to be inactive on the surface, but she knew many things very well.

Although Mrs. Du was older, her eyes were very bright, and she looked at Tang Ling like a torch, as if nothing Tang Ling said could hide from her.

Tang Ling shook her head gently, put the tea cup in her hand on the table, and then said, "I think Mrs. Du made a mistake. I, Tang Ling, do things only for myself, so I am here today not for Mrs. An."

, nor for my uncle Tang Yifeng."

Mrs. Du was slightly startled after hearing what Tang Ling said. She didn't expect that Tang Ling would admit her relationship with Tang Yifeng so frankly.

"What do you want? What can I get? Why should I let you interfere?"

Mrs. Du asked three questions in a row. Since Tang Ling was very happy, of course she was also willing to be more happy.

"Shanghai and Shanghai are the key to the southern market. I have never planned to stay in a corner, so it is imperative for Shanghai and Shanghai to move forward. To put it very disrespectfully, you are already eighty years old. How many more years can you control the Du family?

No one can say for sure, and when you hand down the power of the Du family, can the Du family really be the same as before? I think this is the main reason why Mrs. Du has been reluctant to let go? "

Mrs. Du remained calm, waiting for Tang Ling to continue. Tang Ling continued, "Mrs. Du must also know that even if I don't intervene, there will still be many people in Shanghai watching eagerly. As for what you said, why should I intervene?

The reason is even simpler

, because I have this ability, and, instead of letting those local forces participate and finally carve it up, it is better to take advantage of my new force. Even if I want to compete and occupy a seat, I will not give up everything.

The Du family ate it."

Mrs. Du's face was not very pretty, because what Tang Ling said was indeed too explicit. Before she could do anything, Tang Ling was already thinking that the Du family would be skinned and eaten, although she also knew it.

, what Tang Ling said was true, but saying it in front of her was really hard to accept.

Seeing that Mrs. Du's expression was not very good, Tang Ling smiled apologetically, "Sorry Mrs. Du, maybe my words were too straightforward and made you feel uncomfortable. However, I only said what I saw.

Maybe that’s not really the case.”

Mrs. Du took a deep breath. She was not someone who couldn't accept blows, nor was she someone who couldn't listen to the truth. When she was young, she heard too many uglier words than this, but she still

It's not like today.

It is never words that can hit people, but one's own heart. If the heart is firm, those words will not be worth mentioning at all.

She knew very well that Tang Ling analyzed the situation very thoroughly and what she said was in line with normal inferences. She never let go and handed over power because of this.

"You've already chosen someone, right?"

Judging from yesterday's banquet, when Du Shaofeng introduced Tang Ling to her, she already knew Tang Ling's side. This side allowed her to see Tang Ling's wisdom, but at the same time, she still had many hidden worries.

In the Du family, the person most suitable to take over is Du Shaofeng. Not to mention that Du Shaofeng is the only heir of the Du family. Just because Du Shaofeng has a mother like An Pingfeng, he has already taken all the advantages.

Tang Ling chose this pair of orphans and widowers. She must have chosen An Pingfeng, not a member of the Du family. Mrs. Du had to worry about An Pingfeng. She had many things to consider about An Pingfeng.

An Pingfeng is indeed very smart and capable, and has the shadow of her former self, but Du Shaofeng is still young. Mrs. Du is worried that An Pingfeng will take control of the Du family and not hand it over to Du Shaofeng. Although Du Shaofeng is also very smart, he is extremely filial to his mother. An Pingfeng

If he wants to seize power, no matter how reluctant Du Shaofeng is, he will let his mother take power.

If this is the case, the Du family's surname will no longer be Du, but will be changed to An, which Mrs. Du will never allow.

If Tang Ling also values ​​An Pingfeng, when the two of them join forces, the Du family will really be in danger, and Mrs. Du has to worry about this.

However, if Tang Ling likes Du Shaofeng, then everything will be easier. With Tang Ling helping Du Shaofeng, An Pingfeng will be more restrained. Tang Ling is equivalent to a balance to compete with An Pingfeng.

Tang Ling shook her head, "I personally prefer Mrs. Du's choice."

For Tang Ling, Anpingfeng and her son are indeed very suitable, but if Mrs. Du has a more suitable candidate, she would be very willing to accept it. Anyway, for her, it is the same with whomever she cooperates with, but the process is different.

As for the ending, of course it has to achieve its goal.

Mrs. Du quietly looked at Tang Ling, who was smiling and sincere, "I want to hear your opinion. Who do you think is more suitable among the Du family?"

Tang Ling thought for a moment and then said, "In my opinion, none of them are suitable, but if I have to choose one, then it would be Du Shaofeng."

After hearing this, Mrs. Du's eyes couldn't help but light up, but her voice was very calm, "Oh? Du Shaofeng?"

Tang Ling nodded, "Yes, it's Du Shaofeng. The reason is also very simple, because there is only one descendant of the Du family. If the Du family does not have a descendant of the Du family to take over, then what is the Du family called?"

Once again, Tang Ling said the truth, but it was also a very sad sentence. Sure enough, Mrs. Du fell silent when she heard it. The lack of prosperity of the Du family's descendants has become a knot in Mrs. Du's heart.

He has money and power, but it is difficult to find a successor, which is really sad.

"Okay, I hope you remember what you said today. If you want to go back on your word or make some small moves, then don't blame me for being rude. I know you are very powerful in the north, but this is not your territory after all. We are Du

The power of our family in Shanghai is definitely more than what you see."

Tang Ling curled her lips and smiled, "My purpose is very simple, Mrs. Du also knows it, and I am also very easy to get along with. As long as my bottom line is not touched, everything will be easy to handle. But if someone touches my bottom line, no matter that

No matter who the person is, no matter what kind of power he has, even if I have no power in Shanghai, I can still make him pay a thousand times the price. Please bear this in mind, Mrs. Du."

Both people expressed their bottom line and willingness to cooperate, and they quickly reached an agreement.

Mrs. Du, is this reckless?

No, on the contrary, Mrs. Du only extended the invitation to Tang Ling yesterday after careful consideration.

The reason why she invited Tang Ling was not entirely because of the piece of jade Tang Ling gave her, but because she had already seen yesterday that Tang Ling was definitely someone who could compete with An Pingfeng. With An Pingfeng's tricks,

How could she not be clear about it? Yesterday, she dug a hole for Tang Ling to jump into, but she didn't expect that she made a mistake.

Mrs. Du just had this opportunity to see Tang Ling's alertness and calm temperament. It seemed that Tang Ling was invited because of the piece of jade. In fact, Mrs. Du had already taken a liking to Tang Ling.

.

"Mrs. Du, Mrs. Du, come out!"

Tang Ling had just settled down with Mrs. Du here when she heard someone shouting outside. Without listening carefully, Tang Ling could tell that it was Commander Zeng Yuanqing who had just been farming at the door. However, listening to Zeng Yuanqing's loud roar, Tang Ling

It seems that the relationship between these two people is not as harmonious as what I saw yesterday!

It was still hard for Tang Ling to imagine that such a solemn Mrs. Du would be called the somewhat vulgar "Old Mrs. Du".

Tang Ling looked at Mrs. Du, and sure enough she saw the corners of her wrinkled eyes twitching, then she stood up and walked out.

Anyway, the matter has been discussed and the two people have the intention to cooperate. Other specific details will be much easier.

When Tang Ling walked out, she saw that Zeng Yuanqing had thrown aside the shovel in his hand, and looked at Mrs. Du with her hands on her hips. Mrs. Du was wearing a retro cheongsam and stood elegantly in front of Zeng Yuanqing.

"If you yell again, I'll have you thrown out."

Mrs. Du was completely different from just now. She obviously looked helpless when facing Zeng Yuanqing.

"What? Throw me out? I am the commander of a military region, and you actually want someone to throw me out? Are you afraid that I will call the army and throw you out!"
