"Old Li, is this the strange man you mentioned who has unparalleled cooking skills and is hidden in the market?"
In the living room of Li Qinghe's house, four old men about the same age as Li Qinghe were sitting on the large sofa.
Two of them were fighting fiercely on the chessboard placed on the coffee table, while the other two were drinking tea and watching TV leisurely.
At this time, Ye Su followed Li Qinghe into the living room and immediately attracted the attention of two old men watching TV.
"I told you that Uncle Ye is the elder of my sect! What a weirdo! Why can't you say anything good?"
Li Qinghe said with eyes wide open, and at the same time turned around and introduced to Ye Su: "Uncle, this man's name is Shi Cheng, the former Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and the person sitting next to him is Peng Yuanyuan, the former Director of the Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau.
Among the two people playing chess, the one holding the fan is Wu Ningshi, the former director of the Provincial Department of Transportation, and the one opposite is Lu Yonghe, the former deputy governor of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Government. But now, like me, they are retired.
He’s just old and immortal.”
Listening to Li Qinghe's introduction, Ye Su had a basic understanding of the identities of these four old men.
These four old men, like Li Qinghe, are all retired cadres. Although they are no longer in office, in fact they must still have considerable influence in their respective fields, so even these few people seem to be the same as the most recent ones.
Ordinary retired old men are no different, but if they are really angered, in this Ludong Province, unless they are truly powerful, they may not be able to survive.
Smiling and nodding to Shi Cheng and Peng Changyuan, Ye Su seemed to have not seen the curiosity in their eyes. Instead, he glanced at Lu Yonghe who was playing chess.
The other three of the four were all at the department level before retiring, and only Lu Yonghe was promoted to deputy department.
Moreover, Li Qinghe introduced him as the deputy governor of the Standing Committee. This was far from being comparable to ordinary deputy ministerial levels, but the most important category among deputy ministerial levels.
In the officialdom, being just one level away is like being thousands of miles apart. With Li Qinghe's level before his retirement, Ye Su was a little surprised that he could have such a good relationship with Lu Yonghe.
"Lao Wu, Lao Lu! Stop it, stop it, my uncle is already here, and you still haven't said hello!"
Li Qinghe said carelessly as he walked towards the kitchen carrying the vegetables and meat.
The two old men who were playing chess finally raised their heads and looked at Ye Su carefully. After Lu Yonghe laughed, he stood up directly, then stretched out his hand towards Ye Su and said with a smile: "You
He is the elder of Lao Li's sect, right? Lao Li has always practiced a kind of physical fitness exercise. We originally thought it was just something similar to Tai Chi, but recently we found out that Lao Li also has a martial arts sect.
The same sect came to disturb you out of curiosity. I hope you won't take offense. But before that, although we knew you were very young, we didn't expect you to be so young. So even though we are of the same generation as Lao Li
, but if I treat you with the courtesy of an elder, to be honest, I really can’t do it.”
"Governor Lu is too polite. Since he is Qinghe's friend, he is one of our own. As for seniority and the like, it is just the status within our division. Everyone can just deal with each other. And I am here today to give you
As a chef, if Governor Lu is too polite, he will really offend me."
Ye Su said with the same smile.
No wonder Lu Yonghe was able to reach the deputy department of real power, while the other people only stayed at the department level. Just looking at Lu Yonghe's way of looking at people and his demeanor in dealing with people, he was indeed ahead of the other three.
Lu Yonghe did not look down on him at all because of his youth, and he also expressed his thoughts without any concealment. Although this upright style was not in line with the cunningness of a political figure, it was easy for him to
People have a good impression of him.
Especially after knowing that Lu Yonghe once held a high position!
Thinking of this, Qin Songlin's figure appeared in Ye Su's mind for no reason.
The Lu Yonghe in front of me is somewhat similar to Qin Songlin in temperament!
Speaking of which, Lu Yonghe's rank before retirement was exactly the same as Qin Songlin's now. Simply speaking from the standing committee ranking, Lu Yonghe was even higher than Qin Songlin!
Qin Songlin's advantage is that he is much younger than Lu Yonghe...
Could it be said that after these politicians reach a certain level, they will basically develop such a generous character?
Or...only such a generous character can succeed?
"Governor Lu, that's all in the past. Now we are all just old men waiting to die and wasting the country's food."
Lu Yonghe waved his hand, and then said with a chuckle: "As for this person, once he retires, he really has nothing to pursue. Like us, we usually live in a nursing home in the province, and we don't have any special fun.
Play chess and fish
Fish, and then there’s this appetite. If Lao Li hadn’t praised your cooking skills so much this time, we really wouldn’t have come here shamelessly. You’ll have to show us your hands later, so as not to
Lao Li has lost face."
"Then I have to think about it. Since all you are pursuing now is your appetite, if what I cook is too delicious, won't you stay here and not leave? I am not a full-time chef."
Ye Su smiled.
Lu Yonghe was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth and burst into laughter. At the same time, he reached out and patted Ye Su's shoulder hard: "Not bad! Not bad! I like you!"
At this time, Li Qinghe had just put all the things away and came out of the kitchen. Then he saw Lu Yonghe patting Ye Su's shoulder vigorously. He was immediately trembling with fright and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Okay
You old Lu, this is my uncle!"
"I know it's your uncle, isn't this something everyone has to discuss?"
Lu Yonghe said nonchalantly.
Ye Su also winked at Li Qinghe, and then said: "I think it's almost time. You guys just play, I'll go in and start cooking. Qinghe, give Shupei a call. Don't leave tonight."
We’ve worked overtime, let’s come back to eat together.”
"Yes, uncle."
Li Qinghe quickly agreed, and Ye Su greeted the four old men one by one before turning around and entering the kitchen.
Seeing the way Li Qinghe breathed out, Lu Yonghe suddenly felt very interesting and couldn't help but ask: "Old Li, as for scaring you to this extent? Although he is an elder in the sect, it is just a matter of seniority, right?
?Just maintain due respect, why bother being so respectful?"
"What do you know? My sect is completely different from those so-called Jianghu sects."
Li Qinghe said angrily. Looking at the faces of the four people, he knew that they didn't believe it at all. He couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Anyway, be respectful to my uncle. I promise there will be no harm. If my uncle is in a good mood, I will definitely treat you."
It will be of great help. At our age, what we want is not only good health, but my uncle's medical skills are unparalleled in the world."
Hearing Li Qinghe's sudden words, the four of them looked at each other, but it was Lu Yonghe who spoke first: "First you have unparalleled cooking skills, and now you have unparalleled medical skills. According to what you mean, is your uncle capable of doing anything?"
Are you going to say something unparalleled about him later?"
"I'm not kidding you. It's your business to believe it or not."
After Li Qinghe finished speaking, he took out his phone and dialed Li Shupei's number.
The four old men were left with doubtful expressions on their faces.
