No matter what age you are, don't mess with officials. They all understand this and can't understand it any more.

As a result, Zeng Rui had just stood up and before taking two steps, his feet gave way and his buttocks sat on the ground.

Lao Zhao supported Zeng Rui and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, our brother Wu has been working too hard during this time."

Lao Jin, on the other hand, was really rich and said, "Don't say anything. I'll prepare a copy of the liver-nourishing tea including the wolfberry and red date set for him later!"

This was not over yet. Lao Jin thought for a while and shouted to the driver Xiao Tang who was waiting at the next table: "Xiao Tang! Make some sobering tea for Xiao Wu, and then send Mr. Chen to his place!"

The man in a suit, known as Xiao Tang, stood up quickly after hearing this and responded with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Jin."

After saying that, Xiao Tang started to get busy.

A driver who can stay with a hot-tempered brother like Lao Jin for many years must at least have a good temper and be quick in doing things.

Of course, Xiao Tang does have these points.

After a while, Xiao Tang came over with sobering tea.

Zeng Rui, who was already drunk during this period, finally felt a little better after drinking the sobering tea.

If you don't say yes, it's like nothing is wrong. At least you can maintain basic sobriety.

Seeing that Zeng Rui was gradually recovering, Xiao Tang gently picked him up and said harmoniously: "Mr. Wu, I'll take you to Mr. Chen's place."

Zeng Rui's eyes were still a little dazed and he nodded. He had indeed drank too much wine recently, but he could still clearly understand which was heavier and which was lighter.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Tang."

"Why are you talking about this?" Xiao Tang replied cheerfully, supported Zeng Rui and planned to run to Lao Jin's private garage.

Zeng Rui stood there without moving, took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Tang and said: "Brother Tang, you have to drive my car. Mr. Chen, it's troublesome to drive your car."

"Oh!" Xiao Tang nodded and took Zeng Rui's car keys with an expression of "I understand."

Immediately, Xiao Tang drove a Mercedes-Benz towards Chen's hometown with Zeng Rui in the passenger seat.

The car passed the gate smoothly and stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Zeng Rui, who took a nap in the car, recovered a bit and opened his eyes the moment the car stopped.

Then he walked into the small courtyard of Chen's hometown.

…

Normally, Chen Lao would have gone to bed long ago. At his age, he naturally pays special attention to taking care of his body.

But today was special. He was beaten by the city's leadership team, and he was holding his breath to hold back his displeasure.

Zeng Rui walked into the small courtyard and was led into Mr. Chen's study by the housekeeper.

Apart from the housekeeper, Mr. Chen is the only one in Mr. Chen's family. Even Chen Yuchen, who was the matchmaker between the two parties, doesn't know where he has gone.

"Mr. Chen."

Zeng Rui stood at the door of the study and said softly.

Mr. Chen nodded lightly and said calmly: "Sit down."

After hearing this, Zeng Rui sat on a small chair opposite Mr. Chen.

As soon as Zeng Rui sat down, Mr. Chen asked: "Do you know why I came to you today?"

Zeng Rui didn't hide it and replied directly: "I know."

"Oh?" Mr. Chen had a playful smile on his lips: "Since you know, tell me about it."

Zeng Rui replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Mr. Chen took the initiative to come to me. It's just that the matter with Tenghua Company has attracted the attention of you and even your superiors. Apart from this, I can't think of any other reason."

The smile on Mr. Chen's face became even brighter, and he then asked: "Then tell me what I should do."

Zeng Rui shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The idea of ​​reaching your position, Mr. Chen, is not something that a fool like me can fathom."

What he said was very honest and honest. Judging from his expression, Mr. Chen should be quite satisfied.

"Driving away wolves and devouring tigers, diverting trouble to the east and driving out the strongest Teng Hua. As he wished, he became the one to cut the cake, but he was not greedy. On the contrary, he took the most advantageous situation that was acceptable to all parties, and even said that he

He’s a mud-legged guy, but he’s a little presumptuous.”

In just two sentences, Chen Laosan clearly explained everything that Ye Ji had done during this period.

It can be seen from this that the tricks played by Ye Ji seem to be flawless but are actually full of loopholes in front of the upper class.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zeng Rui still couldn't help but let out a chuckle in his heart, and had to smile bitterly: "Mr. Chen, it's not that we don't want to eat, it's just that we really can't eat it. We are greedy, but we are really greedy.

We are not strong enough, you think highly of us..."

"No, no, no!" Mr. Chen interrupted, waving his hands: "I didn't think highly of you, on the contrary, I looked down upon you. The reason why I was willing to help you in the first place was that I really didn't think there would be any benefits. I was just depressed.

It’s rare for that boy Chen to come to see me, so for a son like me, I will consider taking care of him more or less."

Mr. Chen seemed to have a dry mouth as he spoke. He picked up the teapot in front of him and took a big sip before continuing: "What's more, this matter does not violate organizational disciplines, it is just justice. But I didn't expect it.

, you actually gave me such a big surprise, it can be said to be unintentional."

Listening to Mr. Chen talking, Zeng Rui was a little confused.

When he thought about it, Mr. Chen came to him today just to give him a warning. But after saying a few words, he found that what Mr. Chen said was getting more and more deviated from the topic.

Looking at Zeng Rui's weird smile, Mr. Chen asked with a smile: "Are you a little strange why today's theme is not to call for punishment?"

Zeng Rui did not pretend to be confused but simply nodded and replied: "Yes!"

"If it were a few years ago, I would have asked you to stay safe and wait for the opportunity. But..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Chen stopped and sighed with a somewhat lonely and uninterested expression: "There is not much time left for me. I have been following the rules honestly all my life. When I get old, I will also

I want to try harder and find another way to live."

Zeng Rui's eyes lit up, and he felt ecstatic in his heart.

I believe that not only him, but also many people who once held high positions but are about to retire have thoughts like Mr. Chen's.

After a lifetime of military service, it is absolutely normal to end up greedy for power. How many people are willing to let go of the things they hold in their hands?

But in this circle, you have to abide by the rules of this circle. It has become natural to follow the rules. Everyone may dare to think but they dare not say it, let alone do it.

It is really rare for Mr. Chen to speak so frankly.

However, the change in Zeng Rui's expression only lasted a moment, because he soon felt relieved.

Now is the end of the world, everything that has been established in the heart can be overturned, and everything can no longer be done according to common sense.
