This is a typical courtyard house in Yanjing. Although it has entered the 1990s, the decoration style of the room is very retro. The mahogany furniture, screens from the Qing Dynasty, and even the tea sets are very particular.
.
There are four middle-aged men sitting in the room at this time. The one called eldest brother sitting next to the phone has a Chinese character face, thick black eyebrows, and bright eyes. He has a straight nose and a square mouth.
Sitting there, he looked very majestic.
"Brother, what did that bastard say?"
The middle-aged man sitting at the end seemed to be very dissatisfied with Li Mubai, even the way he addressed him was very disdainful.
"Fourth brother, what are you talking about? After all, he is my little sister's flesh and blood." The eldest brother frowned slightly, obviously he was very dissatisfied with this title.
If Li Mubai were here, he would definitely find that there are many similarities between the appearance of this fourth child and Lu Xiaobei.
"No matter what, that kid also has the blood of our Lu family on his body, and don't you, the old man, know this?"
The eldest brother looked at the three younger brothers and said, "Mom already mentioned that child when she asked me to go there yesterday, and dad seems to be planning to meet him now. You'd better think about it carefully. We only have one sister."
.”
"Brother, why don't I call him? Your words are too harsh. Let alone a child, even a cadre will be scared to death when he hears your tone."
The person who spoke was the third child of the Lu family, Lu Rushan. Among the four brothers, this third child not only had the best personality, but also the one who loved Lu Xuezhen the most.
Li Mubai didn't know that in addition to his mother, he also had four uncles.
The eldest uncle is Lu Rufeng, the second uncle is Lu Ruhuo, the third uncle is Lu Rushan and the younger uncle is Lu Rulin.
The four brothers were sitting in the courtyard of Yanjing and studying Li Mubai's affairs. Li Mubai, who was far away in Mingyang City, was also having a headache at the moment.
No wonder Ding Yigen called him before and asked if he was in Chuntao Township. It seems that this guy is very well-informed! Although now he already knows that he still has family members and elders. But, for some reason, Li Mubai
I don’t have any expectations for the Lu family.
Perhaps after meeting Lu Xiaobei, Li Mubai already had a bad impression of the Lu family. Even before Lu Xuezhen died, she once said that if someone finds Li Mubai in the future, unless that family forgives Li Dashan
, Otherwise, Li Mubai will never be allowed to visit that house again.
Until her death, Lu Xuezhen never forgave that family. Li Mubai was still young at that time, and during an occasional chat, her mother once said something wrong. She said that the person she was most sorry for in her life was her mother, and she was also the most regretful.
One thing. However, she has never regretted it. Even if time could be turned back and everything could start over again, she would make the same choice.
Looking back now, Li Mubai gradually understood his mother's pride and why he had received so much rigorous training since he was a child. His mother hoped that her son could stand upright and have an enviable and proud life.
At the same time, it also has the capital to protect itself.
The ringing of the phone once again interrupted Li Mubai's thoughts.
"Hello, are you Li Mubai?"
When the call was connected again, another middle-aged man's voice came from the phone. "Don't hang up the phone in a hurry. I'm your third uncle, Lu Rushan."
uncle!
This is such a friendly yet unfamiliar title!
"What's the matter?"
Li Mubai's tone was much colder than before. Even though there was a sense of kindness in the other person's words, for some reason, his heart felt cold. Even though he knew that the other person must be his relative, Li Mubai didn't have any feeling at all.
Half a sense of intimacy.
"We hope you can go home and meet your grandma and grandpa." Although Li Mubai's tone was cold and resentful, Lu Rushan's voice was still very cordial.
And his choice of words is also very sophisticated.
Although the word 'home' is not unfamiliar to anyone, for Li Mubai, he has long forgotten that home. Everything is sealed in his memory.
"I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong person. I don't have a home, and even if I do, it's not in Yanjing." Before the other party could speak, Li Mubai hung up the phone again.
After many years of military career, Li Mubai had long forgotten what tears felt like. However, the moment he hung up the phone, Li Mubai's nose still felt a little sour.
I thought that after two rejections, the Lu family would be able to give up, but what Li Mubai didn't expect was that Ding Yiyi's call came through again.
"Brother, don't talk yet, listen to me."
After pressing the connect button, before Li Mubai could open his mouth, Ding Yigen's voice came from the receiver. He said: "I have no choice but to give orders from my elders. I also know that I am nothing."
A qualified lobbyist, I have no intention of convincing you, but I want to express my thoughts."
Ding Gengen paused for a moment, and when he heard that Li Mubai's voice did not stop him from speaking, he continued: "I can understand your mood, but this does not mean that I support your approach. If
If you don't even meet me, I think it's a kind of cowardice and a kind of withdrawal, which will make others look down on you."
Yes, in addition to conflicts and hatred in Li Mubai's heart, he does have a kind of escape. But he himself is not willing to admit it. As brothers who know each other very well, Ding Gengen can say the key in one sentence.
Immediately, Ding Gengen said again: "I'm not trying to provoke the general, but I just want you to take this opportunity to come to Yanjing. It just so happens that that kid Jiang Jiang is also going to visit Yanjing in the next two days. For no other reason,
Just for us three brothers to get together."
"I'll consider it."
Li Mubai was silent for a long time before slowly spitting out five words.
He knew very well that the last reason was the step that Ding Yigen was looking for for himself. But this step still really spoke to Li Mubai's heart. In a flash, the three brothers had not been together for a long time.
This opportunity is indeed rare.
After hanging up Ding Yiyi's call, Li Mubai sat in the office and smoked five or six cigarettes in a row. He didn't make the final decision whether to go or not. He was more used to strategizing and didn't like this kind of nonsense.
Prepare to face the Lu family.
It has to be said that as a brother, Ding Yiyi knew Li Mubai very well. The next day, Ding Yiyi sent Li Mubai a piece of relevant information about the Lu family.
Before again, Li Mubai knew nothing about the Lu family. When he saw the detailed information, a warmth surged in his heart.
The first page of the information is the current head of the Lu family, Lu Pengzhan. He is not only the head of the Lu family, but also a high-ranking deputy prime minister. On this piece of paper, he briefly introduced Lu Pengzhan, and Li Mubai also
I never thought that I would have such a grandpa.
With a wry smile, he turned to the second page.
Lu Rufeng, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, deputy ministerial leader, and the eldest son of Lu Pengzhan.
Lu Ruhuo, the factory director of a state-owned enterprise and a department-level cadre.
Lu Rushan, Vice Minister of Culture, deputy ministerial leader.
Lu Rulin, businessman.
Lu Xuezhen is the section chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Ministry of Public Security and a cadre at the section level.
Li Mubai never expected that his mother was actually a section chief who practiced acupuncture back then.
Looking at the two generations of the Lu family, Li Mubai couldn't help but shook his head. The two deputy ministerial leaders could be said to be from wealthy families. Although he didn't know how Yanjing divided the so-called wealthy families and the so-called big families. But, like this
If your family were in ancient times, it would definitely be a big family.
When he saw the three generations again, Li Mubai's lips curved with disdain. Although four of the three generations were engaged in politics, it could be seen from their positions that these four young masters were
It's similar to Ding Yin.
The level is not low, but unfortunately, they are all in the agency. The most outstanding one is Lu Ruhuo's son, Lu Xiaohai. He is already a deputy department-level cadre when he is less than thirty years old. What if this
If placed in Mingyang City, he would at least be a deputy mayor.
In addition to Lu Xiaohai, the other three are two deputy directors and one is a director. Not to mention, they are all shining with glory at this level. However, their positions in the agency are not enough.
It’s time to see.
It's no wonder that even Ding Yigen is now working in the central office. It's not a new thing for three generations of these big families to have such a level. Li Mubai is already accustomed to this.
Isn't it just a trip to the Lu family? No matter what, it won't be more dangerous than going to the battlefield, right?
Perhaps he really figured it out, so Li Mubai called Ding Yigen and said that he would go to Yanjing in the near future. However, there was no way to set a specific time yet. There are more deputy mayors now, but there are too many jobs
It may not necessarily be able to unfold smoothly.
He has nothing to worry about Chen Liqiang, Ren Shen and Niu Shengli. What he is most worried about now is Han Jinlian. Although Li Mubai is not afraid of her being superior, he does not want anyone to become an obstacle to the development of Chuntao Township.
Regardless of whether you come from the city or the county, as long as you hinder the development of Chuntao Township, Li Mubai will never show any sympathy.
Li Mubai didn't like fighting or fighting for power. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hand over the finances he was in charge of to Gao Ming.
However, many times, many things will not happen just because you don’t want to or hope for them...
