"Yes, it was indeed because the Long family was not strong enough in the beginning that the four major families were able to safely support you in the position of the Chief Envoy of the Jedi Guard in China. You also had to hide your talents because you were afraid of being jealous of the four major families."
Xie Shuqing said with an angry look: "But things are different now. After so many years of hard work, the Long family today is no longer comparable to that of the past. We are fully capable of competing with the four major families."
She looked at the man opposite her with a look of irony in her eyes: "But why did you just lie down?
Could it be that all these years of forbearance have really smoothed your edges?"
Xie Shuqing sighed helplessly: "If I hadn't been more thoughtful, I'm afraid you still wouldn't be able to afford anything after all these years..."
She rolled her eyes at the man, half jokingly and half seriously: "If we all count on you, I'm afraid Xiang'er and I will have to follow you to squeeze into the tube building assigned by the work unit."
"It's always good to be content, and I think there's nothing wrong with Tongzilou."
The man grabbed the chopsticks, put a pickle into his mouth, and chewed it happily: "Looking back on the past, actually when I lived in Tongzilou, that was when I was most relaxed... After work every day, I would grab a bottle of cold beer and
Play a few games of chess with the old guys under the big locust tree, go home and eat the dinner you carefully prepared, and then tutor Xiang'er with his homework..."
He was leisurely fascinated and curled his lips and said: "That's called life!"
Hearing these words, Xie Shuqing's mouth twitched slightly, and his tone couldn't help but become sharper again: "Do you know how many people dream of your current position?
As the Jedi Commander-in-Chief of China, you don’t think about bringing more benefits to the Long family, but you only think about the Tongzi Tower where mosquitoes roamed around?"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She stood up and looked down at the man in front of her: "The four major families are so greedy that they wish they could carve up the entire China. As the immediate boss of the heads of the four major families, why are you so short-sighted?"
"Do I have to think the same way as the heads of the four major families to avoid being short-sighted?
Back then, Murong Wudi was also a breeze, and after so many years, isn't it still talked about by many people?"
The man sighed: "Madam, compared to Murong Wudi, I have gained enough."
"Why do you have to compare yourself to that alien Murong Wudi?"
Xie Shuqing looked helpless, "He is the leader Qingfeng, and he is still talked about by many Chinese people to this day, but what has he left behind?
Wives and children are separated, and the family is destroyed!"
Xie Shuqing stared at the man with twinkling eyes: "Husband, may I ask, is this the result you want?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and let's eat noodles quickly."
The man smiled knowingly, "Anyway, Madam, with all your hard work over the years, our Long family's property will not be able to be spent even by the grandchildren. What's more, Xiang'er's current business is not as prosperous.
Is the water rising?
We can sit back and relax completely.”
Xie Shuqing sighed helplessly: "Some people said you were crazy before, and I argued with them... Now it seems that you are indeed very crazy..."
She grabbed her chopsticks, put a handful of noodles into her mouth, and said while eating: "If you can watch the Long family stop moving forward, I won't force you..."
At this point, Xie Shuqing changed the topic and said solemnly: "But I must bring the Xie family back to glory."
Xie Shuqing grabbed the hand of the chopsticks and tightened it subconsciously: "In the old days, Wang Xietang's swallows flew into ordinary people's homes... I think back then, before the rise of the four major families, our Wang Xie family was so prosperous...
"
Her eyes shone with the light of an idealist: "Anyway, I will not sit back and watch our Xie family disappear in the long river of history."
"Why are you still struggling with this?"
The man sighed helplessly, "Looking at the entire China now, the only descendants of the Xie family who can be named are you and Murong Xuan's wife Xie Wanying... It's not easy to revive the family with the help of you two women.
…”
Hearing this, Xie Shuqing's mood instantly became excited.
She screamed: "Even if it doesn't come true in the end, I will fight until the last moment of my life, instead of being like you who choose to do nothing even though there are plenty of opportunities!"
The man sighed again: "Madam, let's eat some noodles. Let's not talk about these emotionally hurtful topics anymore."
Xie Shuqing paused his chopsticks on the coffee table bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "You have to lie down and I won't care. You must do something for me now."
The man asked: "What's the matter?"
Xie Shuqing said: "That boy named Chu Tianshu talks a lot about flying, and none of what he says is credible. I want you to find a way to pry his mouth open... I want to know what happened between him and Xiang'er in the Jedi in the Western Territory.
What happened in those days..."
The man frowned: "If we don't use some unconventional methods, I'm afraid that guy won't be honest, but if we use those extraordinary methods, can Xie Wanying agree?"
After all, that kid is considered her half-nephew."
"You also said that Xie Wanying and I are the only descendants of the Xie family who can handle it now."
Xie Shuqing snorted coldly, "No matter what I say, I am still one generation older than her... Among the two of us, I am still the dominant one..."
The man nodded: "That's good, I will find a way to pry open that kid's mouth."
After finishing speaking, he added: "If he can survive this crisis."
…
After lunch, Chu Tianshu drank tea with Qiao Shiyuan and rested for a while before setting off for the Forbidden City.
As soon as Chu Tianshu and Qiao Shiyuan's car drove into the gate of the Forbidden City, salutes rang out and fireworks exploded above their heads.
Chu Tianshu and Qiao Shiyuan looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
The two of them parked their car outside Junlin Pavilion, and many firecrackers were set off around them.
As soon as Chu Tianshu opened the car door, Ren Changfeng rushed over and shouted to Chu Tianshu loudly: "Master Chu, take your time, take your time, don't get out of the car in a hurry."
Then, Chu Tianshu saw Ye Shaoliu personally carrying a large roll of red carpet and spreading it in front of the car until it was spread in front of Junlin Pavilion.
Chu Tianshu's mouth twitched, he got out of the car and said, "Does it need to be so grand?"
Ren Changfeng grinned and said, "That must be necessary."
Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly and said: "You have just come back from the Jedi. Have you walked on the red carpet?"
After laying out the red carpet, Ye Shaoliu returned to Chu Tianshu, with a rare smile on his face. He grabbed his hair and said, "He also walked on the red carpet, but the salute didn't sound so loud."
Ren Changfeng said: "Of course, if my limelight exceeds that of Young Master Chu, what will happen?"
