The International Trade Center is naturally the first choice for year-end shopping. Yang Dongxu always picks up gifts for his parents and relatives, not to mention that he has Zhou Ya beside him who never blinks when shopping for his parents. Now he is matching Ran Feifei, who felt a loss to her parents by not going home for the New Year, officially kicked off a big sweep.
After three consecutive days of sweeping like this, Yang Dongxu had time to take a breath. He really didn't understand that it was Zhou Ya and Ran Feifei who decided what to buy or not, so why did they insist on dragging him along?
Every time two people asked him for his opinion, he would say yes, and the two would go back and continue to discuss, and then the two would discuss the outcome. Whether or not to buy this dress would be the result. Asking him is the same as not asking him. He said no, and then...then the above scene happened again, and it still didn't have anything to do with him...
"Hey, Master Dao, why do you have time to come to me?" Yang Dongxu, who had been tortured for three days and was recovering at home, waiting for another chance to fight during the Spring Festival, was lazily slumped in a recliner and eating melon seeds, with the small air conditioner blowing. Don't get too comfortable.
I haven't seen Master Dao for a while, especially after something happened to someone in the north. Master Dao, who used to come to drink tea with Old Man Xuan from time to time, seemed to have disappeared for a while. And even if he couldn't find Old Man Xuan in the yard, he would go to the nearby park to look for him instead of running into the house to look for Yang Dongxu.
"I'm old and want to find a quiet place to sit for a while." Master Dao waved his hand, indicating that Yang Dongxu shouldn't pay too much attention to him, and walked to a chair next to him to sit down.
Aunt Hua came in with a cup of tea. He thanked her but didn't drink it. Instead, he sat there in a daze. Yang Dongxu was confused and didn't know which song the old man was singing today, so he looked at Uncle Nan who followed Master Dao in.
In terms of seniority, Master Tao would be a generation below Yang Dongxu, let alone Uncle Nan. However, Old Man Xuan's seniority is really too high. He is afraid of losing his life if a man like Master Dao calls him uncle or something like that.
Therefore, as long as there is no need to pay attention to seniority, under normal circumstances, Yang Dongxu gets along with them on their own terms. For example, he can call them Fu Decai, Ah Cai, etc. Calling Fu Chaming also calls Xiao Ming or something like that. Fu Decai calls him by his name, and Fu Chaming also calls him by his name.
"The master's sons have been here these days." A wry smile appeared on Uncle Nan's face.
When these words came out, Yang Dongxu was even more confused. In the past, because of the unrest and the fact that Master Tao was a black-and-white person, he hid his family to avoid accidents. After everything happened, Yang Dongxu knew that there was nothing surprising about this.
The Taoist master has become completely mature in recent years, especially after someone in the north got into trouble. He didn't even do the peacemaker thing, and didn't attend any banquets. He just closed the door and lived his own life to take care of himself. posture.
He has also met his sons Yang Dongxu. One of them still has a medium-sized official position in his hometown. However, because the relationship between the two parties is not too close, they are only casual acquaintances.
In the past few years, Dao Master's sons have come to Yanjing from time to time to visit their father. During the holidays, either Master Dao returns to his hometown, or they come to Yanjing to celebrate the holidays together. So Master Dao suddenly made such a show today, and Yang Dongxu couldn't figure out what was going on here for a while.
"The second young master has an opportunity to come to Beijing and want to take a walk." Uncle Nan glanced at Master Dao and continued.
Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Mr. Dao's second son must be over fifty this year. His official position seems to be just a division level. I can't remember his position as deputy division or something. Anyway, he is the deputy director of a labor bureau in a small county. The labor bureau these days is basically It’s similar to a nursing home.
If a division-level cadre wants to be promoted, a division-level cadre in his fifties from the Labor Bureau who is retired comes to Beijing to seek connections. This really looks down on his own father.
It's not that Dao Ye can't handle this matter, but to go to Beijing for such a trivial matter to get connections. This is not just killing a chicken with a bull's knife, it's simply killing a chicken with a dragon's knife.
"It's an opportunity for the leader he leads." Uncle Nan added.
Yang Dongxu was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, he had enough brains and was not confused by Uncle Nan's tongue-twisting words.
The leadership led by Master Dao's second son wanted to take a step further, so Master Dao's son heard the news from somewhere and came to Beijing to beg him. I hope he can show his performance in front of the leader.
This matter is not that he used a dragon-slaying knife to kill the chicken, but that his son really regarded Master Tao as a green onion. If his business can only be used to swat mosquitoes, then there is hope for it to be put into operation.
But the leader he leads is at least a department-level cadre, right? Master Dao himself is not an official, and secondly, he does not have any big family to back him. In the position of a department-level cadre, which is regarded as a strategic resource, he intervened as a semi-black man, and his son really looked up to his father.
Who does he think Master Dao is from the north? Are you so arrogant that you walk around the province? Not to mention whether Master Dao has this ability, even if he has it, he still can't do it.
It took a lot of effort to keep a low profile. If anyone noticed this effort, it would definitely outweigh the gain.
"Deputy Department." Uncle Nan spat out two more words.
Yang Dongxu almost spit out the Cha he just drank in his mouth. This second son has so much confidence in his father.
"This is really just using the money from selling cabbage and thinking about selling white powder." Yang Dongxu was convinced by Master Dao, his second son.
The deputy director of the labor bureau of a small county at the division level. He actually wants to help the leader plan the position of deputy department. This... is so disgusting.
Let alone Dao Ye, even Han Xing and Wei Fei are useless for this matter, unless they find someone in their family who can take charge of the matter, and the person in charge can recognize the leadership ability of Dao Ye, his son, and then include him The idea of his own camp, otherwise the little favor that Master Dao had before to help others as a gatekeeper would not be enough.
"You're not going to come here to have a relationship with me, are you?" Yang Dongxu put down the teacup and thought of something and turned to look at Master Dao.
"He is obsessed with getting promoted. Do you think I am also confused?" Master Dao glanced at Yang Dongxu.
"As long as you wake up." Yang Dongxu nodded.
Although he has some connections, based on the relationship between Dao Master and him, the other party's face is not that big. Besides, he was only thinking about not causing trouble for his godfather, so why would he take the initiative to cause trouble?
"You came to me because..."
"I've been hiding away for a few days. If I had known earlier, I might as well have let them farm at home." Master Tao said with a bit of hatred for iron.
It is said that a son is better than his father. Master Tao has a clear idea of the virtues of his sons. The children of a prodigal son are the result of sins in the previous life. Master Dao probably did a lot of sins in the previous life, so several sons are not up to expectations.
But how could a parent be so ruthless as to ignore everything, so knowing that his second son was not destined to be an official, he spread a lot of favors and stuffed them into the officialdom.
His eldest son is not a business man. He lost half of his life savings in just a few years. He can only grit his teeth and persevere. As for his third son...he has only wiped his butt in these years. I don’t know how many times I did it.
So when I think about my three sons who are still in their 50s and 60s, none of their grandchildren can live up to the same moral standards. Looking at Yang Dongxu again, Master Tao wonders if he has really committed too many sins in the past, so his sons and grandsons are like this. Virtue will not let him live in peace until the end of the year.
"You can stay as long as you want. The old man doesn't want to accompany me back to celebrate the New Year, and he won't let Du Suo and the others stay here. If you are not in the mood to go back to celebrate the New Year, you can still stay with him here." Yang Dongxu said.
I was originally thinking about what to do if Mr. Xuan, a stubborn old man, didn’t want anyone to stay in the courtyard during the Chinese New Year. Is it possible to ask his godfather to move in for a few days so that he could take care of him? Mr. Yi would probably return before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I won't come, and I estimate that I won't come until after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Now that Master Dao is here, I just have company.
"Okay, I won't go anywhere for the Chinese New Year this year. I'll just stay here with Master Xuan." Master Dao nodded. When he thought about what his sons would cause in the morning, he was not at all in the mood to celebrate the Chinese New Year at home.
After making the decision, Master Dao continued: "Please pay attention to the few people coming from the north recently."
Although Jinpen was completely done with the matter, as an old Jianghu, Yanjing was his base, and he was more informed than Yang Dongxu about the news that could affect him.
"Those who slipped through the net?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
When we went to the north, we focused more on killing the tiger. As for the wolves and dogs below, we also paid attention to them, but they were not as comprehensive as dealing with the tigers, so we missed a few.
For example, the person under the Black Four who was known as the number one killer was not caught. However, Yang Dongxu, a bereaved dog, didn't care, and judging from what he knew, the other party was not a die-hard loyalist to Black Four, and would retaliate foolishly and loyally against someone.
Besides, Hei Si's downfall had nothing to do with him. It was purely a matter of seeking his own death, and the other party couldn't find him to blame if they were looking for trouble.
"That should be the right one." Master Dao nodded.
Yang Dongxu was a little surprised at this time. Although he knew that the other party came here not to take revenge on him, but only a few months had passed, this person dared to run to Yanjing. This was really courageous.
"Sooner or later, go in." Yang Dongxu sneered after being surprised.
Obviously this number one killer is not a person who is willing to be lonely. If he really wanted to live in peace, he would definitely find a place to hide incognito and run to Yanjing. Obviously the other party was unwilling to lose and wanted to make a comeback. And I still want to make a comeback in the dark under the lights.
"Don't talk about going in, it's only a matter of time before you get shot." Master Dao snorted.
I have already put my name on it, and I don’t want to find a place to live a normal life, but I actually go to the front of the people above. Forget it if I don’t see it, I will definitely not get any good results if I see it. This matter has been finalized, no one will care about you even if you want to hug your thigh.
There is no shortage of watchdogs at the entrance to the thighs, so naturally there is no way to get all messy just to get a vicious dog.
"Let's talk about it after the year. If there is definite news, someone in the family can tell him." Although Yang Dongxu has a bit of a bastard's temper, basically he won't move unless you poke him.
But this person is a bit of an exception. Even if he is sure that he is not here to take revenge on him, a person who has shot him in the past is right next to him. If he can't find a way to get rid of him, he will definitely not feel at ease. So in order to make me feel better, you, the guy who ran to Beijing for nothing, can only feel sad.
