Everyone couldn't help laughing when Xiaoxiao said this. Ji Teng is a pistachio, and the atmosphere will be lively as long as he is present.

Everyone is just joking, no one will really underestimate him. On the contrary, Ji Teng is one of the important figures in this team.

Jiang Yue sent Wu Xiaofan back to the hotel and then went to the ward. Her mother was already asleep.

Aunt Mei and Zhou Aixia were guarding the ward, and they were both asleep in the bed next door.

Jiang Yue and Tong Rou quietly exited the ward without waking them up.

Neither of them felt sleepy when they returned to the hotel. It may be that the alcohol made them very excited.

"Tong Rou, Song Guangyi mentioned something at the wine table in the evening, saying that Xiaoxiao's father will soon be the top mayor. Have you heard about this?"

"I heard Xiaoxiao say something like this."

"If that's true, it's a good thing." Jiang Yue was happy for Murong Guang.

"Uncle Murong is self-motivated and energetic. It is said that an old leader above him appreciates him very much. The job adjustment may be in the recent period. I don't know the specific date."

"Haha. As long as he can be promoted one day earlier and one day later, it won't matter. If Uncle Murong can be the top leader in Dengzhou City, I think he will be able to achieve something."

"Yes, everyone thinks so. After all, Uncle Murong is an upright official and a soldier. He is upright. It is a blessing for the people of Dengzhou that he can be the top mayor. He will probably do something drastic after taking office."

Jiang Yue usually doesn't pay much attention to these things. He puts all his thoughts on developing the enterprise. It doesn't matter to him who is the leader.

When Jiang Yue woke up in the morning, she rushed to the hotel to have breakfast with Wu Xiaofan. After breakfast, he returned to the company and asked Chen Chong to take Wu Xiaofan to the airport.

Tong Rou came to the hospital as soon as she got up in the morning. She, Father Jiang and Aunt Mei helped Mother Jiang up at around nine o'clock and asked her to try to get out of bed and walk.

Although there was some pain, Jiang Ma gritted her teeth and held on, moving forward a few steps.

Later, with the encouragement and persistence of Tong Rou and others, I continued to exercise for twenty minutes. Finally, I walked out of the ward to bask in the sun in the yard.

The long-lost sunshine shone on Jiang Ma, which made Jiang Ma feel very energetic.

Jiang Yue now works step by step every day, and is very relieved to leave her mother to Tong Rou to take care of him.

One night three days later, Duan Hongsheng's store had no customers. It was almost nine o'clock, and he was going to close the door and go home to sleep.

But then an old man came into the store. His hair was gray but he was still energetic.

He looks to be around sixty-three or four years old. He is tall and strong. He is much stronger than his peers.

Although he is wearing very ordinary clothes, his eyes are very sharp, and his eyes reveal the aura of a superior. I believe many people will feel shuddering when they look at him.

Duan Hongsheng was sitting there watching the news on his mobile phone. He didn't look up when the old man came in.

"Lady boss, bring me a small bowl of dough."

After the old man finished speaking, he found a seat and sat down, waiting patiently.

His voice was very loud, and when Duan Hongsheng heard this voice, his body suddenly stiffened.

He raised his head in disbelief. When he saw the old man, he trembled and stood up immediately.

The old man happened to be looking at him at this time. When their eyes met, Hong Sheng couldn't believe his eyes.

But the old man immediately withdrew his gaze and sat there, looking down at the chopsticks in his hands, without looking at Duan Hongsheng again.

Duan Hongsheng stood there at a loss. Fortunately, his second aunt was making dough and didn't pay attention to his reaction or expression.

Duan Hongsheng's eyes were a little moist, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he just stood there stiffly.

"Hong Sheng, bring the noodles to the guests." He didn't come back to his senses until his second aunt called him.

He immediately picked up the dough and placed it in front of the old man. If you look carefully, you can see that his hands were shaking.

The old man began to eat slowly, with a smile on his face as he ate.

Duan Hongsheng put down the bowl and walked to the door. He stood there upright, as attentive as a soldier on guard.

His eyes quickly scanned

Looking around, most people might not notice any changes, but Duan Hongsheng saw many strangers around him.

Those people were all like him, scattered in different corners in the distance.

For him, a former military king, he could feel the importance of those people's positions, and his small noodle shop was already under siege.

It took ten minutes for the old man to finish the small bowl of dough. After finishing the meal, the old man picked up a tissue from the table and wiped his mouth.

"Not bad, very authentic and authentic. Boss lady, here's the money." The old man put down ten dollars, then tapped on the table a few times, stood up and walked out.

"Big brother, if you pay six yuan for a small bowl of dough, I'll give you four yuan." The second aunt took four yuan and chased him out.

"Forget it, you don't have to look for it. I'll come over to eat next time." The old man said with a smile.

"That won't work. There are a lot of people here to eat the dough. If I forget, it's not good. I have to find it for you."

The second aunt handed the four dollars to the old man's hand. The old man took the four dollars with a smile, then walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the old man's back, Duan Hongsheng turned around and walked into the store and said to his second aunt: "I'll go out for a walk and come back. You can tidy up and go home after I come back."

"Well. You go ahead, it doesn't take too long."

After Duan Hongsheng walked out of the house, he walked in the direction where the old man left.

The old man just sent him a message, asking him to come find him.

At a corner not far away, the old man kept looking at the night sky with his hands behind his back, wondering if he was counting the stars in the sky.

Duan Hongsheng stood two meters behind the old man. He remained silent as if he did not want to disturb the old man.

A full three minutes passed before the old man spoke.

"The dough in your store is delicious. I can still eat a small bowl after dinner. It tastes really good."

Duan Hongsheng did not dare to answer the question because he did not know what the old man meant by what he said.

"Is she okay now?"

"Yes, Chief, she is very good. You have seen it just now, she is very happy and joyful." Duan Hongsheng replied softly.

"Hmph. I can see that she is very happy and joyful. But I am not living a happy life, nor am I happy."

Hearing the old man's cold snort, Duan Hongsheng's body suddenly stiffened again.

"Others think you are being kind and righteous, but in fact you are acting like a fool. I am very sad to see you like this today. I am not sympathizing with your experience. I just feel that you are such a waste as to why I chose you in the first place.

"

The old man spoke in a cold tone, and Duan Hongsheng was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe.

Maybe others don't know who the old man is, but he knows who the old man is. Not only does he know but he is very familiar with him because the old man was once his immediate boss.

The old man has never appeared on TV, in newspapers, or in public. Because of his special status, he is a special existence.

But the old man's energy and power in his hands are not comparable to ordinary people. Even the big officials in the party would respectfully salute him when they see him.

"It seems that you lived a very comfortable life as a child. Those who worry about you are really needless."

Duan Hongsheng still didn't dare to say a word. His scalp was numb now, and he was really afraid that the old man would kick him again when he was angry.

Although Duan Hongsheng usually has a bad temper, in front of the old man he is better behaved than a kitten.

"Others think that you have made great contributions to the country, but you forget how much effort and cost the country has spent on cultivating you. As a result, when something happens, you act like a stupid roe deer and neglect yourself, and all the hard work the country has put in is in vain.

well!"

The old man sighed, then raised his head and looked at the starry sky again, and stopped talking for a long time.

"Old chief, I'm sorry."

"What's the use of saying sorry now? It's too late, it's too late for everything. You have become a useless person, you can no longer contribute to the country, and you are ashamed of the country's training for you. But as my former subordinate, seeing

I can rest assured that you are living well now, and you can live the rest of your life according to your own temperament."

"Chief, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations of me."

Duan Hongsheng didn't know what to say, so he just kept saying sorry.

"There is no such thing as saying now

No matter what, I just happened to come to Dengzhou today to take a look at you. I'm leaving, so you can take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, the old man left directly without even looking at Duan Hongsheng before leaving.

"Old chief, please walk slowly." Duan Hongsheng immediately stood up straight and saluted the old man with a military salute.

What he didn't know was that the moment the old man left, there was endless loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

As the old man left, there were dozens of figures following him, and they had been secretly protecting the old man's safety.

A hundred meters away, there were several off-road vehicles parked.

The vehicle looks very ordinary, not a very conspicuous luxury car.

But anyone who knows the industry can see that these vehicles are much more valuable than luxury cars, because they are modified cars with the best performance.

Murong Guang was sitting in one of the cars. When he saw the old man arriving, he immediately got out of the car and helped the old man open the door. The old man got into the car and left quickly.

"Chief, have you seen the instructor?"

"After meeting him and saying a few words, I have lost any confidence in him."
