In fact, Gao Yulan asked knowingly. She knew that Xiang Tianliang was talking about herself.

Gao Yulan was born in the Luo family in the capital.

Mr. Luo's name is Luo Qiuhua. He is a native of Beijing and a famous old revolutionary.

Someone has done research and found that Mr. Luo's status within the party was equal to or second only to Mr. Guan Tianyue. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Guan was slightly higher than Mr. Luo. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the 1950s, the two elders were neck and neck. In the 1960s,

At that time, Mr. Guan surpassed Mr. Luo again. After the reform and opening up, the two elders were on the same level again. However, in the public rankings, Mr. Guan was always listed before Mr. Luo.

"Guan" in the south and "Luo" in the north, the personal friendship between Mr. Guan and Mr. Luo began in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and has been nearly sixty years now. The chairman once used four words to describe the relationship between Guan and Luo, a friendship between gentlemen.

The two old men were born in the same year and retired in the same year in the 1980s. After their retirement, they rarely appeared in public. Mr. Guan was studying at home, and Mr. Luo was also studying at home. They both ignored political affairs and thanked guests behind closed doors. They only visited every week.

One day, we took turns visiting each other's house, sipping tea, exchanging reading experiences, playing two or three games of Go, and then saying goodbye as the sun set.

Gao Yulan married into the Luo family when she was twenty-two years old and became the wife of Luo family's boss, Russell Ming. She divorced Russell Ming when she was thirty-two years old and stayed in the Luo family for ten full years.

Although he has not been the Luo family's daughter-in-law for eighteen years, Mr. Luo has a good impression of her, always regards her as a member of the Luo family, and cares for her. Gao Yulan's career has been basically smooth for decades, among which

With the help of Mr. Luo.

Gao Yulan rarely spoke to Mr. Luo, but whenever Gao Yulan had something to do, Mr. Luo never refused to help.

This time what happened in Qinghe was "settled" by Mr. Luo after Gao Yulan spoke up.

Gao Yulan called Mr. Luo just as Xiang Tianliang turned back to Qinghe halfway, preparing to do "bad things" to save face.

According to Gao Yulan, after Mr. Luo listened to her about what happened in Qinghe, he sat in the study and thought for a moment, then got up and walked to the storage room, where he dug out a small bucket used in the 1950s and 1960s among a pile of old things.

, without saying anything, he just asked his driver to deliver it to the old man of the Zhang family.

This small bucket is made of wood. It is made up of more than a dozen wooden boards. Due to long-term use and disrepair, it has cracks and may fall apart at any time. It can no longer hold water. There is an upper and middle part on the outside of the bucket.

The next three iron hoops, although covered with rust, are basically intact and are still holding the bucket.

According to Mr. Guan's driver, after he delivered the broken water bucket to Zhang's house, Zhang Zhiyao looked at the broken bucket for half a minute, then laughed loudly, picked up a green apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and handed it to him.

Driver Yu brought it to Mr. Luo.

When Mr. Luo saw the green apples brought back by the driver, he laughed for a while, then called Gao Yulan and said, Lanzi, what you said is okay.

Sure enough, about an hour later, Gao Yulan received a call from Chen Yimin, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, proactively expressing his intention to "cease the war."

Because Xiang Tianliang was taking revenge in Qinghe, Gao Yulan did not agree immediately. She only said that she would reply to Chen Yimin the next day after seeking the opinions of Binhai County.

After Gao Yulan finished speaking, Xiang Tianliang laughed. As for Gu Xiuyun in his arms, he didn't know when he had left his body.

"Haha... Gao, two old men used a broken wooden barrel and a green apple to explain the problem clearly. It's really Gao."

"Can you deduce the whole process of solving the problem between the two old people?" Gao Yulan asked with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Xiang Tianliang said, "Mr. Luo's broken wooden barrel contains so many meanings. First, he said to Mr. Zhang that you and I are both in our twilight years, just like this broken barrel.

, I don’t know when it will fall apart. Second, since you and I are both in our twilight years, then things will be seen more clearly and openly. What I want to say needs to be seen clearly and openly. Third, what I said

Things are like this broken wooden barrel. If you move it, it will fall apart. It is just a pile of broken wooden boards. If you don't move it, it can at least be called a barrel. Fourth, the most important point is that Mr. Luo told Zhang

Old man, you should do things like hoops on a barrel. As the saying goes, a hoop can only hoop eight points. If the hoop is too tight, the barrel will collapse. If the hoop is too loose, the barrel will leak. Only by leaving room for the other party in everything can you have room."

Gao Yulan smiled and said, "A broken wooden barrel actually made you do one, two, three, and four. Then tell me how Mr. Zhang dealt with it."

Xiang Tianliang said: "When Mr. Zhang saw the broken barrel, he should have thought like this. First, Mr. Luo was talking about something. Second, this matter was more or less related to the Luo and Zhang families. Third, it was not a big deal.

But just like a broken barrel, it won't work unless it is solved. Fourth, Mr. Luo was implicitly reminding him that you are like a rusty barrel hoop. If you don't play a role, you will really become scrap metal, and the barrel you are clinging to will become useless.

It will fall apart."

Yang Biqiao smiled and said: "The two sides were playing riddles. Mr. Zhang only knew that Mr. Luo was talking about something, but how did he know that Mr. Luo was talking about our Qinghe matter?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "This is even simpler. What can happen between two old guys who have been retired for many years? One, it is not a national matter, two, it is not a matter between two old men, and three, it is a matter for the younger generation.

, Fourth, it is a common thing between the younger generations of the two families, fifth, there are people from each family working in Dongjiang Province, your sister Lan from the Luo family, Chen Yimin and Zhang Hong from the Zhang family, it must have happened in Dongjiang Province."

Chen Meilan asked, "So, what does Mr. Zhang's green apple mean?"

"This is also easy to explain. Green means green. Green means peace. Apple means flat. Of course it also means peace. Fruit means result. What Mr. Zhang means is that my attitude is very clear. Leave it to me.

No matter what it is, no matter what kind of conflict it is, peace is the most important thing. Believe me, the result will be peaceful."

Regarding Xiang Tianliang's analysis, Gao Yulan commented: "The basic process should be like this, but there is one thing you may not understand. Within the party, Mr. Luo is the person who criticizes Mr. Zhang the most, and Mr. Zhang fears Mr. Luo the most. Combined with

The history of the two of them working together, it can be said that Mr. Luo

The old man sent a broken wooden barrel to Mr. Zhang. The main meaning was twofold. One was advice and the other was a warning. Therefore, after Mr. Zhang understood what Mr. Luo meant, he quickly got in touch with Chen Yimin. Otherwise,

, Chen Yimin will not take the initiative to call me to ask for peace."

Gu Xiuyun asked from the side, "Sister Lan, now that Tianliang has taken revenge on the other party, will Chen Yimin regret it?"

"Probably not." Gao Yulan said with a smile, "There is an unspoken rule here, which is called tit for tat. If you punch me, you can't let it go. Before we talk about peace, I will punch you back. This

That's what is called fairness, and peace can be achieved even if we sit down and talk."

Yang Biqiao smiled and said, "Sister Lan, no wonder Deputy Secretary Chen Yimin called and you said you would answer him tomorrow. It turned out to be to buy time for Tianliang's revenge."

Gao Yulan looked at Xiang Tianliang and smiled, "In my opinion, there is no need for revenge, but you must take revenge, so I have to fulfill your wish first."

Xiang Tianliang's hand grabbed Gao Yulan's jade mountain floating in the water, "Sister Lan, how happy is my revenge?"

"It's just a little damaged." Gao Yulan said with her chest raised.

"Did I lose it?" Xiang Tianliang held up one of Gao Yulan's jade mountains and raised it to the surface of the water, where it swayed.

Chen Meilan smiled and said, "I think it's a loss."

Xiang Tianliang's other hand reached out and grabbed Chen Meilan's grapefruit-like jade, and pulled her body in front of him with a slight pull, "Smelly bitch, what are you saying, if it weren't for me, you would

Zhang Hong and Gao Yao have already taken turns to 'fight'."

Yang Biqiao pushed behind Chen Meilan, "Giggle... Tianliang, you often fight with Meilan. Zhang Hong and Gao Yao want to fight with Meilan. You and them are love rivals."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Sister Yang, according to what you said, Zhang Xing is trying every means to marry you as his wife. He and I are also love rivals. If you still make fun of me, when Zhang Xing wants to 'fight' you in the future, I will

I'm too lazy to save you."

"Giggle...Then I'll ask Zhang Xing to come to me tomorrow and see if you care or not."

"Okay, if he really dares to 'fight' you, I'll treat him to wine and dinner."

The girls burst into laughter.

After laughing, Xiang Tianliang asked Gao Yulan, "Sister Lan, didn't you ask Mr. Luo about anything else?"

"Others? What happened?"

"For example, why did the three-county district comprehensive market project and its surrounding developments arouse the interest of Tianxing Investment Company and Sanyuan Trading Company?"

Gao Yulan shook her head, "Didn't I say that Mr. Luo has stopped asking about political affairs a long time ago, how could he know?"

"You can ask him to help you find out."

"I asked him to inquire."

"Oh." Xiang Tianliang asked eagerly, "Did you find out anything?"

"No." Gao Yulan shook her head again, "This is what makes people wonder. Why are Tianxing Investment Company and Sanyuan Trading Company so interested in the three-county district comprehensive market project and its surroundings? No one can actually

When I tell you, Secretary Li and Governor Huang can’t explain the reason, and Mr. Luo doesn’t know either. Mr. Luo asked people to inquire and couldn’t find out anything. It’s really strange.”

Xiang Tianliang was stunned and said to himself: "It's so mysterious... there must be something interesting in it and it's worth studying."

Gao Yulan said, "Don't worry, they are still doing their best to promote the three-county comprehensive market project, and we will know what it is all about."

Chen Meilan smiled and nodded, "At dawn, Sister Lan is right. You should continue negotiating with Sanyuan Trading Company first. If you are a fox, you will definitely show your tail."
