The children of high-ranking cadres are standing in front of the starting line. Even if you run ten steps hard, you won't be able to keep up with others.

There is no way, this is the current situation of society, it is unfair, but no one can change it.

Because the person who makes the rules is always the person standing in front of the starting line and the person closest to the finish line.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the Gu family has prepared a rich dinner.

Ah Cai put on a festive red Tang suit and sat on the main seat.

This is the position where the old man sat when he was alive, and the children of the Gu family have no objections to this and all acquiesce to it.

Ever since Ah Cai took out the old man's autographed letter, Li Yuanlang felt that Ah Cai's whole person had changed.

He is no longer the depressed look he had been driven away by the children of the Gu family. He is full of energy, has strong eyes, and looks like the head of the family.

Even the name has changed.

He used to respectfully call the men of the Gu family "Young Master" and the women "Miss".

Now that everyone was calling him by name, none of the children of the Gu family, headed by Gu Zhengchuan, showed any displeasure, but instead showed respect for him.

Li Yuanlang was thinking, since Ah Cai had the first letter, could there be a second and third letter?

Before the old man died, he talked to his children and descendants one by one, including Li Yuanlang.

I guess the person who explained the most was Ah Cai. Ah Cai was always by the old man’s side, whether as a servant or his godson, he was the person who understood the old man best.

Likewise, the old man trusts him the most.

It seems that Ah Cai has the intention to succeed the old man and become the backbone of the Gu family.

The table was full of delicacies from all over the world, but Li Yuanlang felt like it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it.

One is that he has something on his mind, and the other is that the atmosphere is relatively dull.

During the meal, no one drank and no one spoke. Everyone had their heads lowered and there were only tiny sounds of eating.

The meal was eaten very quickly, and just after Ah Cai put down his chopsticks, everyone else also finished eating.

At this moment, Wang Longxian knocked on the door and came in. He lay down next to Gu Zhengchuan and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Gu Zhengchuan nodded frequently, and then spoke to Ah Cai in a very low voice, just a few words.

"Okay, I understand." Ah Cai nodded and said, immediately stood up and left the table, and said: "Yuen Long, you come with me, along with Zheng Chuan, Zheng Gang and Qing Zhang, let's go to the study."

Obviously, there is something to discuss.

Watching the five men leave the table with a cheer, Gu Han sat on a chair with a very ugly expression on his face.

Whatever he was doing, he greeted everyone but didn't call him.

After all, Gu Han is also the deputy district chief and a deputy division-level cadre. When the eldest brother has something to do, he, the younger brother, is not even qualified to participate, let alone help.

Why call him Li Yuanlang? He is nothing but the magistrate of Xiaopo County. What's so great about him?

Angry, Gu Han pushed the rice bowl in front of him hard, making a clanking sound.

His mother was already in poor health. Because her eldest son had another accident, her face became even more haggard and she was unable to speak.

"Xiaohan, don't cause trouble, your elder brother's matters are most important."

Gu Han crossed his arms and glanced at his mother without saying a word. It could be seen that he was still unconvinced.

Entering the study, everyone took their seats in order. Ah Cai glanced around and said slowly: "I just received the news from Ding Yuan. Bai Qing agreed to meet Yuen Long. The specific time and place will be decided by her. Yuen Long, you

Your mobile phone must be turned on 24 hours a day to ensure that Bai Qing can find you at any time."

Gu Zhengchuan asked Li Yuanlang with concern: "Keep your mobile phone by your side and charge it at all times. Don't shut it down because it is out of power."

"Did you bring the charger?" Gu Zhenggang also asked.

Li Yuanlang nodded in reply, "Don't worry, I will be ready."

He had been in contact with Bai Qing many times. Even though Bai Qing had a special status, Li Yuanlang didn't feel anything special.

Bai Qing is still the same Sister Bai he knows, she won't make a fuss and make herself feel like she's facing a formidable enemy.

"That's good." Ah Cai nodded, feeling relieved.

Gu Zhengchuan was still very careful, "Yuan Long, you must be careful when you see Bai Qing and don't make her unhappy. As far as I know, Bai Qing has a weird and stubborn personality. Even her father gave her three points, so don't be careless."

.”

Shui Qingzhang said calmly: "Brother, don't worry about it. Yuen Long knows Bai Qing better than you and I. At the old man's farewell ceremony, who didn't say he knew Yuen Long? How could Bai Qing be there?

Mentioning Yuen Long's name before the throne is enough to show that they have a good relationship."

When this matter was mentioned, Gu Zhengchuan thought for a moment and muttered to himself: "That's all he said at that time?"

Li Yuanlang didn't bother to explain, so he stood up and said, "Nothing else, I'm going to see Ting Yue and Guyu."

"Okay." Gu Zhengchuan nodded repeatedly.

The moment Li Yuanlang walked out of the room, Gu Zhengchuan repeatedly warned him from behind: "If you have any news, tell us anytime so we can prepare a car for you."

When he didn't reply, Li Yuanlang came out and stood in the courtyard.

Look up at the stars in the night sky and light a cigarette to dissipate the inner boredom.

He didn't visit his wife and son, it was just an excuse.

He wants to drink now and find someone to talk to.

There are not many suitable candidates in the capital, and Chang Ming is one of them, but he is about to get married, so he must be too busy to disturb him.

Wang Song is a nice person. Since he was not invited to his sister's wedding, it is a big worry for Li Yuanlang, so of course he will not come to him.

It would be great if he were in Ganping County. At least Ji Tianhou could accompany him.

Thinking of Ji Tianhou, Li Yuanlang took out his mobile phone, found the number and called immediately.

The other party answered the phone very quickly and was obviously fiddling with his phone.

"Tianhou, you have been back for so long and I haven't contacted you. I'm sorry."

Ji Tianhou replied: "There is no need to be polite between us. I know you are busy and took care of Lei Zhen's home. Alas, I didn't expect that the situation in Daiding County is so complicated and Lei Zhen is the mastermind behind it. Yuen Long, you really

It’s not easy.”

"Don't talk about me. How are you? Are you comfortable working in the political research office?"

Ji Tianhou gave a bitter smile and said, "That's it. The first-level chief section officer is at the same level as our section chief, but he can boss me around. Who says someone is at the administrative level, and we are just a junior section member."

It could be heard that Ji Tianhou was not happy at work.

Being demoted from a deputy deputy to a first-level chief section officer is a gap that is difficult for anyone to adapt to.

Li Yuanlang didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only change the topic and mentioned that he was in the capital and had something to trouble Bai Qing.

"Tianhou, I never told you Bai Qing's true identity."

Ji Tianhou lowered his voice and sounded as if he had walked to a secluded place.

"Yuen Long, I know who Bai Qing is."

Li Yuanlang was very curious, and it seemed that he had not mentioned it to him, how he learned about it.

Although Bai Qing was the first person Ji Tianhou introduced to her, Ji Tianhou didn't know her details, but he thought Bai Qing was very powerful.

Ji Tianhou continued: "She is the daughter of Ceiling's ex-wife. After Bai Qing's mother passed away, for unknown reasons, she ran away from home and went to live with Yunyang's grandmother's house, where she has been until now. Bai Qing only returned to Ceiling recently.

People around me, thinking about it, their father and daughter should have reconciled."

ceiling?

Hearing what Ji Tianhou said about that person, Li Yuanlang felt that it was fresh and interesting, but the metaphor was also appropriate and realistic.

"You still know Bai Qing better than I do. You know a lot. I think you could be a KGB person." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but joke.

"Yuen Long, to tell you the truth, my department's research policy is not very good, and gossip and tidbits are rampant. A senior staff member told me about Bai Qing."

In fact, Li Yuanlang is not averse to such gossip.

If you think about it, you will understand that the gossip must be spread by people who have experienced it personally.

If he were an ordinary citizen, even if he were asked to make it up, he wouldn't be able to make it up so magically.

It's just that many people have said it in the middle, adding fuel and jealousy to it, making it magical and exaggerated.

While the two were chatting, Li Yuanlang heard an incoming call and had to apologize to Ji Tianhou. He hung up the phone and saw that it was a missed call from an unknown number.

Called back, it showed invalid.

Li Yuanlang could definitely determine that the call was 100% from Bai Qing.

After missing this call, Li Yuanlang thought to himself that Bai Qing would definitely continue to contact him.

He was not in a hurry and put his cell phone in his pocket. As soon as he turned around, he was shocked to find a figure standing less than five meters away from him.
