~7 min read 1,378 words

Jian Zhao Hongzhang picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip: "Judging character from chess, decades have passed, you are still this virtue, not a bit of progress."

Ye Tuan wasn't angry either: "My character is bad, but I am worthy of the country and worthy of the people."

Jian Zhao Hongzhang laughed mockingly: "When you say this, don't you feel guilty? Look at what you've given birth to, what kind of things they are."

"Especially that grandson of yours, Ye Jun, do you really not know what he has done all these years? It's normal to be confused when you're old, but pretending to be confused, especially in your position, that is the greatest evil."

"Fart!" Ye Tuan slapped the table excitedly, with a loud bang, "How am I the greatest evil? Although Ye Jun's actions are a bit inconsiderate, he hasn't killed anyone or set fires, you..."

"Bang!" Another loud bang, Jian Zhao Hongzhang also slapped the table heavily, which startled Ye Tuan, forcing the words that had reached his throat back down.

"Do not take small sins lightly, thinking there is no disaster. What is called inconsiderate? Your inconsiderate is just forcible seizure? I tell you, your inconsiderate is the deepest harm to the ordinary people. You surnamed Ye, you have forgotten your roots, forgotten your foundation."

Inside the study, it suddenly fell into silence, the atmosphere suppressed to the extreme, as if as long as there was a spark, it would cause a big explosion.

Jian Qiu's aunt Jian Yufang and third uncle Jian Zhengcun came back for something; seeing the Red Flag parked at the main gate, they were stunned. Of course, they knew who that car belonged to.

It's just that the two old men had fought for most of their lives; why did that person suddenly run over today?

With doubts, the two entered the courtyard, passed through the first courtyard, arrived at the second courtyard, entered the main hall, and heard the sound of arguing in the study.

Their faces changed, but they didn't dare to enter, instead looking at the guard standing at the door, their eyes full of questions.

How could the guard dare to speak? He stood straight there without moving, like a statue.

The two looked at each other; they also knew in their hearts that it was impossible to get an answer from the guard, but they were worried, so they kept standing there without moving.

But inside, the sound suddenly stopped, which scared them to death. After all, the two old men were not young anymore, although they looked quite sturdy.

But during the War of Resistance, the injuries left behind were countless; now that they were old, these injuries on their bodies, who knew when they would be fatal.

The two were anxious, but didn't dare to enter; the guard also frowned, hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to shout "report," he heard a sigh from inside, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Tuan sat on the chair: "Back then, we hung our heads on our belts and fought with the little devils, just to drive the little devils out of China and let our descendants no longer be bullied."

Now that I'm old, I always think, I, Ye Tuan, have dedicated my whole life, I can't let my children and grandchildren dedicate their whole lives too, I have to leave something for my children and grandchildren."

But what can I leave for them? So, no matter what they do, as long as it's not too excessive, I just turn a blind eye."

Speaking of this, Ye Tuan sighed again, "Do not take small sins lightly, thinking there is no disaster, well said. You surnamed Jian, I really don't have as high an awareness as you."

"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me!" Jian Zhao Hongzhang snorted coldly, "Wanting to gain my sympathy, there's no way."

Ye Tuan's mouth twitched: "Chess has been played, arguments have been argued, tell me, what do you want."

Jian Zhao Hongzhang smiled: "The position of the number one in Guangdong Province."

"Impossible!" Ye Tuan stood up abruptly, glaring at Jian Zhao Hongzhang with anger, "Unless I die, otherwise it's absolutely impossible to give it up."

"Then forget it!" Jian Zhao Hongzhang looked at the time, "I'm old, my energy is not good; it's only ten o'clock, and my eyes are a bit unable to open."

As he spoke, Jian Zhao Hongzhang stood up and walked out, "If I were young, it wouldn't matter if I didn't sleep for two days and two nights."

Ye Tuan's face changed drastically; watching Jian Zhao Hongzhang grab the doorknob, he could only compromise unwillingly.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Ouch!" Jian Zhao Hongzhang stretched his arms, kicked his legs, and twisted his waist, "It's really strange, why am I suddenly energetic?"

Ye Tuan stood up and left: "My energy is not good either, I'd better go home and sleep early."

Jian Zhao Hongzhang suddenly said: "You surnamed Ye, what do you think of Shenzhen?"

Ye Tuan's eyes jumped wildly; he had a very bad premonition, his raised foot paused, and then he retracted it.

"If you have something to say, say it; I don't have time to play riddles with you."

Jian Zhao Hongzhang smiled slightly, returned very comfortably, sat on the chair, and picked up the teacup to take a sip.

Although the tea was already cold, looking at the old man's appearance, he was very satisfied.

"If you don't have time, you can leave; why are you still lingering here?"

"You..." Ye Tuan was so angry he couldn't speak.

Jian Zhao Hongzhang's proud expression couldn't be hidden at all; this looked at Ye Tuan, making him gnash his teeth with anger.

"I am very optimistic about the development of Shenzhen, and I won't make things difficult for you; arrange the position of vice mayor."

Ye Tuan laughed in anger: "Appetite so big, aren't you afraid of choking to death?"

"My appetite has never been small." Jian Zhao Hongzhang shook his head and said, "Back then, I led two battalions and ate a company of little devils."

"I also swept a devil's stronghold, but I still felt I hadn't eaten enough; when I came back, I also blew up a few devil's artillery towers, and only then did I feel I had some foundation in my stomach."

Ye Tuan took a deep breath; he had fought with Jian Zhao Hongzhang for most of his life, and he had never been as miserable as he was today.

What eating a devil's company, sweeping a devil's stronghold, wasn't that just telling him that Guangdong and Shenzhen were still enough.

"Tell me, what else do you want?"

Jian Zhao Hongzhang picked up the cigarette on the desk and lit one: "County Magistrate of Daxing!"

Ye Tuan was stunned, his brows wrinkled; what does this old thing Jian Zhao Hongzhang want to do?

Such a good opportunity to hold him, only wanting a County Magistrate of Daxing, suddenly made him very vigilant.

What's the use of that place Daxing? He absolutely didn't believe that Jian Zhao Hongzhang would shoot without a target; it must have a purpose.

Jian Zhao Hongzhang wasn't in a hurry either, smoking very leisurely, looking at Ye Tuan from time to time.

Ye Tuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but without figuring out Jian Zhao Hongzhang's purpose, he didn't dare to agree easily.

"I'll consider it!"

"Okay!" Jian Zhao Hongzhang agreed with a smile, "Tomorrow night, I want to get an accurate answer."

"Okay!" Ye Tuan stopped staying and walked away.

"Uncle Ye!"

Jian Yufang and Jian Zhengcun saw Ye Tuan come out and hurriedly shouted.

No matter what the relationship between the two families was, and what they thought in their hearts usually, seeing Ye Tuan, they had to be respectful.

Ye Tuan nodded with a smile: "When you have time, come over to my place and sit."

"Okay!"

Jian Zhengfang and Jian Zhengcun saw Ye Tuan to the main gate, saw the Red Flag leave, and the two ran back quickly, arrived at the old man's study, and hurriedly asked.

"Dad, what's going on?"
