A few days later, when Lu Zheng met Liu Shengwu again, he came to Beijing to attend the economic conference of the independent city. The meeting lasted for two and a half days. After the meeting, Lu Zheng first went to see his grandfather and then went to Zhou Tao's house for a walk. Zhou Tao had only had skin trauma, but his nose and face were bruised and swollen after all, he was not good-looking. He had asked for leave these days, and now his face had swelling and was preparing to return to his unit to report tomorrow.

Although Zhou Tao lives in a three-bedroom apartment, it is a very old community and the decorations at home are simple. Recently, the TV has been replaced with a 21-inch color TV, which was purchased by Zhou Tao's lover Hu Yunfeng.

Hu Yunfeng used to work in the Municipal Building Materials Industry Bureau. After the unit was reorganized many times, it officially established Jinyu Group this year. It is a state-owned enterprise with certain monopoly advantages. Needless to say, the benefits are, after such a reform, Hu Yunfeng's salary almost doubled, far exceeding Zhou Tao's income.

Seeing that Lu Zheng came very enthusiastic, Hu Yunfeng washed fruits and handed cigarettes. When chatting about buying TV, Hu Yunfeng muttered: "I have been a leader all my life and spent all my money. Now I have been so angry that I have been so angry that I can't mess with people and have been beaten. I'm worried all day long, and I'm not as good as ordinary people."

Twisting the cigarette roll, Zhou Tao didn't speak much, and looked deeper.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, but knew that everything he was facing now must have hit Zhou Tao very much and stimulated him, but he really couldn't guess what he was thinking.

At this time, Liu Shengwu's paging came over.

Lu Zheng stood up and said, "I'll leave." The eldest brother was in Luo Chuan's car downstairs.

After Lu Zheng used the mobile phone given by Iris a few days ago, he could no longer leave it because the analog signal could not be roamed. Yu Qiangwushan and Beijing each bought one. Of course, they usually turned off the phone and threw it in the car, mainly for the convenience of making calls. Except for the family and Liu Tie and Lei Yongsheng, no one knew his mobile phone number, and Liu Shengwu was no exception.

Before leaving the door, Lu Zheng smiled and said to Hu Yunfeng: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, my brother Zhou knows everything, he doesn't have to worry about him."

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Zhou Tao's eyes flashed. When he went out, he patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder lightly, but said nothing.

Liu Shengwu made an appointment with the Mingzhu Hotel. When Lu Zheng came, Liu Shengwu had arrived, and Nurse Ruan was there. As soon as Lu Zheng entered the private room, Liu Shengwu smiled and said, "Zhengzi, today it was Nurse Ruan who paid you privately to pay you." He even whispered in Lu Zheng's ear: "Order food later." He was worried that Lu Zheng was not sure about Nurse Ruan's situation.

Lu Zheng smiled and said to Nurse Ruan: "Then I will thank Sister Ruan in advance."

Nurse Ruan nodded gently.

Liu Shengwu smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Nurse Ruan knew that she had no choice but to let him call him "sister" and "sister".

After the host and guest seated, Liu Shengwu said a few more polite words and asked: "Don't Xiao Luo come in to eat? Why don't they go together?

Luo Chuan, like Liu Shengwu's orderly Xiao Yang, stood outside the private room.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "He doesn't come, and he said he can't eat well with us. OK, let him do it." This is the truth. Luo Chuan never goes to the table when eating outside. His mental state is different from Hu Zi, and he adheres to the line he drew for himself.

Liu Shengwu was just polite, so he didn't say anything anymore and picked up the teapot to pour tea for Lu Zheng.

After Lu Zheng ordered the dishes, Nurse Ruan said to Lu Zheng: "I asked Xiao Mo, it has nothing to do with your friend being beaten."

After hearing Nurse Ruan get to the point, Liu Shengwu also looked at Lu Zheng, feeling a little confused. With Li Mo's personality, if she really found someone, she would not refuse to admit it at home. Of course, it is not ruled out that this matter is involved. But if she really found someone to do it, the other party would have just had skin injuries? I heard that although Zhou Mi has not been at work these days, she has been recuperating at home and her injuries are definitely not serious.

If it wasn't for Li Moyu, then it might be Zhou Mi's grudges from other places, or it might even be Zhou Mi's own tricks, just a trick. Lu Zheng may know, or he may not know.

Liu Shengwu looked at Lu Zheng's change in expression for a moment, but he was slightly disappointed and could not see anything.

Lu Zheng tasted the tea, put down the tea cup, and said, "Sister Ruan, I don't get involved in these messy things.

Liu Shengwu said next to him: "I heard that it was your brother-in-law, Mr. Hu, who accompanied Zhou's secret report."

Lu Zheng nodded.

Liu Shengwu and Li’s elder brother discussed this matter privately. The Zhou secret just injured Xiaobo by mistake, and then was beaten. When it was spread, they must have thought it had something to do with the Li family. No matter what the matter was, the Lu family was afraid that it would be impossible. Now the Lu family is facing Hudley. Hudley heard that he is usually a businessman who is not angry, but in fact he is even more unfair in private. Xiao Mo is usually hard on the surface, but Hudley is in the dark. And he heard that Hudley has spoken, and this matter cannot be counted.

However, Liu Shengwu, like his elder brother, felt that it would be left alone in the end. Hudley couldn't really find someone to fight back like a gangster. The most important thing now is to remind Xiao Mo that no matter whether the matter was her or not, she would not do anything extreme. Xiao Bo's affairs would be solved by legal procedures.

However, after hearing about this, Nurse Ruan was very worried about Li Mo. Although she was living in seclusion now, she heard that the society was getting more and more chaotic, and shootings broke out from time to time, and the gangs of the underworld were revived. Especially Lu Zheng, who didn't know who she asked about, came from her. The third generation leader of the Lu family, was cruel and ruthless, colluded with officials and businessmen, and controlled the Wushan gang. He was an absolute local snake. He had been relying on the Lu family to protect the central government and could not do anything about him. Nurse Ruan was even more worried about Li Mo's safety after hearing this.

Liu Shengwu could only smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't know who put many hats on Lu Zheng. Many words cannot be said to be groundless. The situation in Wushan is also very complicated. However, Lu Zheng is a person with a very ambitious ambition. How could he be the local tyrant who is in the world that covers the sky? It is inexplicable to collude between officials and businessmen alone. Lu Zheng's wife is from Germany and is said to be very well-known, as if she was a big chaebol. Several old men nodded in agreement on this marriage. I heard that she has made a lot of contributions to the country over the years. This source of information has been vaguely heard of Liu Shengwu's work in the Central Guard Bureau and his special identity. So Lu Zheng's collusion between officials and businessmen is afraid that the inside story is not so simple, which is essentially different from the formation of a community of interests between some ordinary local leaders and businessmen.

Lu Zheng would never take revenge on Zhou Tao's case. Liu Shengwu is very sure of this. Of course, these rumors may not be completely unreasonable. For example, with Lu Zheng's personality, if anyone really threatens his roots and he has no better way, I am afraid that his next method will be bloody.

Liu Shengwu revealed some of these words to Nurse Ruan, but Nurse Ruan has a world where Nurse Ruan has, and Liu Shengwu really can't control her.

When Nurse Ruan heard Lu Zheng lift his brother-in-law out, she frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Lu, I am straightforward and have something to say. You don't have to be fooled in front of me. I have seen Director Lu before and don't want to disturb him. I just think that the descendants of descendants of you and Xiaobo should not be like this. The old man doesn't know what you do. If you know, how sad should you know?"

Lu Zheng smiled and suddenly realized that chatting with her really made the illusion of chatting with her. He nodded: "I understand."

At this time, Lu Zheng's cell phone on the table rang. When it was connected, it was my elder sister Lu Jiaju who called and asked, "Zhengzi, are you in grandpa's place?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "No, I'm having dinner at Mingzhu. I'm just about to go and see you after dinner." My elder sister and brother-in-law are now in the cold war, and my elder sister moved out to live in Mingzhu's private room, but all of this is hidden from my parents.

"Ah? Are you at Mingzhu? Didn't you say it earlier, I'm on the road and go see my grandfather. You are at Mingzhu, okay, I'll go back early and wait for me, and you're not allowed to leave."

Lu Zheng smiled and said yes.

When Lu Zheng called, Liu Shengwu also received a paging, and then he said in a disgusting manner: "The army has something urgent to do, so I'll ask me to go back."

Nurse Ruan immediately said, "Then you go back quickly, it's important to do it."

Liu Shengwu hesitated and looked at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you leave, Sister Ruan, I'm responsible for sending it home."

Liu Shengwu then stood up and said, "Everything is full of piles, sorry, Zhengzi."

When Lu Zheng sent Liu Shengwu out, Liu Shengwu repeatedly asked Lu Zheng to take care of Nurse Ruan, and sued a few more words before leaving.

After Lu Zheng returned to his room, the dishes were served one by one, all of which were home-cooked dishes. What surprised Lu Zheng was that there was a roasted bean plate, which was considered the dish he liked before. Obviously, Liu Shengwu or Nurse Ruan did his homework.

When having dinner and chatting, Lu Zheng didn't know what topics to talk about with Nurse Ruan. This woman who was in a revolution when she was a child, entered a high-city courtyard just as soon as she became an adult, and now she lives in seclusion and has left her own mark in high-level politics. From a certain perspective, she is very legendary. After memories of the guards and folk exaggeration, there are an anecdotes of her and Mr. Li swearing each other. In fact, these high-ranking politicians are brought back to the world. In daily life, they also have one or another shortcomings like ordinary people.

"I heard that you have had a collective field below?" Nurse Ruan asked suddenly.

Lu Zheng nodded and knew why Nurse Ruan asked this question. Mr. Li had always opposed the contracting of households and was a firm standard-bearer for co-production contracting before the Cultural Revolution.

"Qinglong's collective fields are different from before. They are mainly an economy that combines small farmers. This can make the small peasant economy have a certain say in the market. If the family is an individual, it can be said that it has no competitiveness in the future economic tide. Now science and technology is developing very fast, including fertilizers, pesticides, mechanization, etc. Whether it is family contracting or collective economy, they all have their own advantages. It depends on the region. For example, around Wushan City, every family has started to build greenhouse vegetables, and the income is very good. If you suddenly take back the land to form a collective, then no one wants it. Qinglong, the relationship between soil, the development of fruit by-products is very strong, and unified planning and sales can better protect the interests of fruit farmers."

As he said that, Lu Zheng said: "In the past, we have always subsidized industries for agriculture. Farmers across the country have made great contributions to laying a systematic industrial foundation for our country, but they are also the ones who suffer. In the end, reform and opening up, they are the ones who cannot get dividends. Therefore, we have a long way to go to establish a fair society."

Nurse Ruan was slightly surprised. Looking at Lu Zheng who was talking, she didn't know what she remembered and was a little dazed.

Someone outside knocked on the door lightly, and Lu Zheng stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Nurse Ruan nodded.

When Lu Zheng came outside, Luo Chuan knocked on the door and whispered that he saw Hudley, and was drinking with his friends on this floor. Hudley had just gone to the bathroom and talked to him for a few words, saying that there was no outsider, so he was the deputy director of the Hebei Provincial Department of Construction.

Lu Zheng understood what Hudley told Luo Chuan, so he turned around and said to the room, "Sister Ruan, I'll go and have a drink for five minutes."

Nurse Ruan nodded.

Hudley and Director Liu of the Hebei Construction Department were dining in the corridor, and they were actually adjacent to the private room where Lu Zheng was sitting.

When Hudley saw Lu Zheng coming in, he was immediately happy and hurriedly introduced Director Liu and Lu Zheng to know each other with a smile.

Director Liu shook hands with Lu Zheng enthusiastically and said, "Mayor Lu, I have long admired the name." Director Liu has heard of this young mayor of the Northern Special Administrative Region since he was close to southern Hebei and eastern Hebei.

When he heard Lu Zheng call Hudley's brother-in-law again, Director Liu suddenly realized that this mayor Lu had such a background.

Lu Zheng smiled and toasted a glass of wine, saying, "I have an important guest. Let's wait another day, Liu Hall, let's get together again another day."

Director Liu hurriedly said ok.

Hu Deli is preparing to take over a project in the southern capital of Hebei Province and ask Director Liu for help. It is best if my brother-in-law can show off, otherwise it will be inconvenient for him to speak.

Lu Zheng walked out, and Hudley and Director Liu were sent to the door. Hudley gave him a few more steps. When he arrived outside the door, he sighed and said, "Zhengzi, you have to worry about your elder sister."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I'll tell you for you." Then he said seriously: "Brother-in-law, you must not make enough money, but don't step on the line, be at ease, otherwise no one can help you if something happens."

"I understand, don't worry." Hoodley agreed.

Lu Zheng didn't have any more to say anything, so he nodded and went back to his private room.

But unexpectedly, when Luo Chuan scrambled to open the private room door, Lu Zheng happened to catch a glimpse of Nurse Ruan's panic putting his phone back in place.

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned. What did the old Li family want to do? Check who she called? I immediately knew that she had misunderstood. Nurse Ruan should be curious. She had never seen a mobile phone. She has lived in the political whirlpool for many years in the crowd of old people and became old-fashioned. But her actual age is here, and she is still a little eager to try new things. But she certainly didn't expect that she would come back so quickly.

Seeing that Nurse Ruan lowered her head to drink tea in a little embarrassedly, Lu Zheng didn't say anything, and after sitting down, he said, "My brother-in-law, nothing is wrong."

Nurse Ruan nodded slightly.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Sister Ruan, the times are different now. You really should come out and have a walk. This is what you mean. If you think there are many acquaintances in Beijing and annoyed, I will help you with arrangements in other places. Wushan is fine, and other cities are fine. Arrange a job you like. You are not old and can't be the head of the ancient tomb sect all your life?"

"What leader of the ancient tomb sect?" Nurse Ruan asked in confusion.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It is a sect in martial arts novels. This sect is full of women. They seal themselves in an ancient tomb and never see outsiders all year round, so they are called the Ancient Tomb Sect."

Nurse Ruan suddenly realized, a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes and said, "I know martial arts novels, and Lao Li also likes to read them. What is the name of the novel you mentioned?"

Lu Zheng said: "Let me go back and ask my elder sister to send a set to your house."

Nurse Ruan shook her head gently and said, "No need, I'll ask Xiao Mo to help me find it." Then, "I'll go wash my hands."

Seeing Nurse Ruan disappearing behind the door, Lu Zheng picked up the teacup. The meal was not uncomfortable. Perhaps Nurse Ruan had similarities with him. He looked not old, but his mentality was very old. It was because of his two lives, while Nurse Ruan was due to the environment.

In fact, Nurse Ruan is not bad. She can even be said to be kind-hearted and has no scheming. She has dealt with many older generation figures, which also destined to be her transcendent position. Sometimes she is very curious about her life, but no matter what, it is better to have less contact.

The sequelae left by Li Xiaobo's concussion seemed to be very serious. He temporarily took a leave of illness and didn't know what would happen in the future. During this period, the people of the Li family themselves had to maintain it and help Zhou Tao try his best to solve the problem.

Thinking about Li Xiaobo and Zhou Tao, they are both quite unlucky in this matter and it is helpless.

Just as he was thinking, Luo Chuan knocked on the door gently, then pushed the door and exposed his head, saying, "Brother, there is someone in the bathroom, I listened to the sound, it seems that there is Ms. Ruan."

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned and hurriedly got up, "Go and go and have a look."

Outside the bathroom, there was no one watching the fun. Several waiters were quarreling. In fact, they mainly grabbed a girl with heavy makeup and exposed clothes. The girl with short skirt pointed at the person opposite and scolded: "You freak, say it again, do you believe it or not, I will beat you?"

Needless to say, the person who was pointing at the nose and scolding the girl in the short skirt was Nurse Ruan.

Nurse Ruan's pink face turned red and said, "I said you are uneducated. If you are uneducated, you are uneducated. Which unit are you from?" Before he finished speaking, the girl in the short skirt suddenly broke away and pulled her waitress, rushed up and slapped Nurse Ruan in the face.

Everyone present was stunned, and Lu Zheng just came close to witness this scene.

Nurse Ruan was stunned and immediately became angry. She rushed over to pull the girl's hair, but several male waiters quickly helped and pulled the two away. She grabbed them with several big hands, and they couldn't fight together.

Lu Zheng walked closer and frowned slightly. Luo Chuan pointed to the waiter who grabbed Nurse Ruan and shouted: "What are you doing? Let go?"
