Li Yi quickly followed, followed the old man's back, and entered the study.

"Tea!" The old man shouted softly.

At the opening of the door, a delicately dressed and clean woman came in with a tea tray and served tea to the old man and Li Yi.

The old man instructed: "Make a few more good dishes, I will leave Xiaoyi to eat." The woman replied respectfully and withdrew.

The old man sat on a chair in the study and said slowly, "I have heard everything you have done recently. As he spoke, a fine light flashed in his eyes, looking at Li Yi's face, Li Yi was very uncomfortable: "Can you tell grandpa what you think?" ”

"My thoughts?" Li Yi was a little confused, and asked carefully, "What do you mean?" ”

"Pretending to be with grandpa?" The old man smiled: "You rose to prominence at the steel summit, and then got acquainted with Wen Yuxi and gave him advice, the air crash in Haidu, you are also kind to Lin Guorong, these two are very promising figures, and Lin Guorong is expected to enter the Politburo Standing Committee." These are two hot big shots, and if you befriend them, you can be regarded as the right first move! You have also laid out in the southeast, and sent your friend Du Jun to establish a business kingdom in Binhai City, hoping to earn more money and add political capital for the future. ”

Speaking of this, the old man smiled silently, and his favor and appreciation for Li Yi were undoubtedly revealed.

Li Yi was shocked when he heard it, this is all something he has done, it is not unusual for the old man to know, the strange thing is that the old man's thoughts and analysis just now are something that Li Yi has never thought of, or never realized. At this moment, when the old man said it, he felt that what he had done along the way was really paving the way for the future. This old man actually sees it more thoroughly than himself!

The old man thought that Li Yi's apprehension at the moment was shocked by the fact that his plan was seen through. Just smiling kindly, looking at this young grandson, the more I look at it, the more I love it! I didn't expect that such a number one person would appear in the grandchildren, and this is the blessing of the Li family.

"Ahem! It seems that nothing can be hidden from you. Li Yi quickly sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "I do have some ideas and want to make some achievements in my career. It's not just to be an official for the sake of being an official, but I want to do some practical things, and I have a lot of ideas and want to realize them. ”

"Oh, what do you think? Can you tell grandpa about it? The old man asked with interest.

"This ......" Li Yi was a little embarrassed, many of the things he wanted to do could only be done, but he couldn't say it in advance, saying that he would be treated as a monster. He can't say that there will be a big flood in a certain month and a certain place, and I have to find a way to stop it, right?

"Haha, okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it yet, grandpa will slowly watch you do it and achieve all this, and then I will naturally know. I'm looking forward to your continued surprises. The old man's tone changed and said, "I called you here today because there is something else important, and you must be there!" ”

Li Yi's heart moved, and he secretly thought: "What's the big deal, I can't be there?" Could it be that the old man wants to arrange my work? Do you want me to live according to his arrangement? No, I'm going to gag him before he can speak. So he said: "I am very satisfied with my current job, and my future is okay." "The implication is that I've got a good job, so you don't have to work for me!

"Hmm! Since we have said this, we will nag about it, you have a career in the office, I have no objection, it is now a time of peace, the party, government and economic construction are the most important, and I have always supported my children and subordinates to move from the army to the localities. What I mean, do you go back to Beijing first, work in the ministry for a year and a half, rise to the department level, and then become the number one leader in the county below for two years, and then go on like this, before the age of 30, you can govern a city, so that you will grow faster, have more comprehensive experience in all aspects, and do not have to go to the grassroots level to endure hardships. What do you think? ”

Although he used a deliberative tone, his tone was tough, giving people a coercion that was not easy to refute.

Li Yi said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, I still think that taking one step at a time from below and slowly going up can better train people and be more suitable for the growth and development of an official." ”

The old man slapped the handrail heavily and glared at Li Yi angrily: "You dare not listen to me?" ”

Li Yi didn't expect his face to change so quickly, and when he didn't agree with him, he was angry and a little flustered, but he still said calmly: "I don't want to go against your will." I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and I am not afraid of enduring hardships or being tempered at the grassroots level. I wasn't wrong! My life, I have to arrange it myself! ”

Li Yi knew that as soon as he said this, he offended the old man's tiger power, this old general who has always been the same, few people dare to disobey him in person. At the same time, his fiery temper is also notoriously big, like-minded people are like each other, draw a knife at each other if they don't agree, dare to do it, and promise a thousand dollars.

What's the use of being afraid? A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, bravely looking directly at the old man, and letting it fall.

The old man exhaled slowly, calmed down his anger, and said, "Okay, I'll let you decide this matter!" But there's another big thing, and you have to listen to me! Otherwise, military justice disposes! ”

Li Yi was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the old man to not pursue it, just now he was really a little stunned in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "As long as it's not a work arrangement." ”

The old man's wrinkled face flashed with a subtle smile, if the old subordinate was here, he would have to sigh, how many years has the old chief not smiled like this? Only the moment the plan succeeded, he would let out such a comfortable smile.

Li Yi only felt a chill down his spine, and then he realized that unconsciously, he had fallen into the trap carefully designed by the old man, and this condition was the main purpose of the old man looking for him today.

Wiping a cold sweat, Li Yi had to admit that the first time he faced the old man, he lost, and he lost completely.

He really deserves to be a veteran general who has been in a hundred battles!

Design it casually, and play with Li Yi, who is a man in two lives, in the palm of his hand.

It is said that there are no fools in officialdom, among them Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although he has immortal knowledge, he is afraid that he will have to walk on thin ice! He thought of so many things from this, but it was also unexpected by Old Man Li.

The old man is not in a hurry to throw out his hole cards, just like a cat catching a mouse, after catching a mouse, the cat is generally not in a hurry to eat, nor is it in a hurry to release, always put a catch, play enough, see enough of the mouse frightened, this is not in a hurry, show the hole cards, to the death of the enemy.

At this time, Li Yi felt like a mouse.

The old man's expression darkened: "It's a pity, the junior is gone!" He would be very happy to see that you were so big. ”

Thinking of his father, Li Yi also sighed, his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, and he frowned: "If you have anything, just say it, I can withstand it." ”

The old man haha smiled: "If you can withstand it, you have to top it, if you can't stand it, you lost to me in chess!" We talked about Lin Guorong earlier, do you remember? ”

"Yes." Li Yi thought to himself, why did it happen to him again? I don't know this man, and I didn't stop the plane to save him.

"The Lin family's local shili should not be underestimated, if you join forces with the Lin family, you will go faster and farther in your career in the future." The old man spoke slowly, watching Li Yi's reaction.

As expected, Li Yi pursed his lips very disdainfully, young and vigorous! What young person would think they can't succeed? What young man would be willing to make friends with someone in a low voice?

But the old man still admired his arrogance, and said patiently: "When we fight, do we do everything to seek allies and their support? ”

"Of course." Li Yi had to admit it.

"In ancient times, the lord of a country still needed to sacrifice the happiness of his daughter and obtain a covenant with a strong enemy by marriage. Is this a sign of weakness? "The old man is kind and instructive.

"This is the strategy, sacrificing the ego to fulfill the ego. Although I don't approve of this approach, I have to admit that it does work. Li Yi nodded in agreement.

The old man stroked his white beard and said, "That's right." ”

Li Yi still doesn't understand, what's the matter with him? This old man is really good at boiling people! After talking for a long time, he just didn't get into the topic, and he couldn't help but ask, because he knew that it was probably not good news for him.

After the old man drank a cup of tea, he nodded slightly: "The Lin family has a daughter, age, character, life experience, appearance, and you are a perfect match, I have coveted this little girl for a long time, and among the grandchildren, no one can match her, Shilong and others, compared to her, there is too much difference, and I don't have to spoil other people's good girls." It's just you, and both of us nodded in agreement......"

"Wait, grandpa, what do you mean?" Li Yi Huoran got up and looked gloomy: "I have a girlfriend, I believe you know it!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know you have a girlfriend, that kid's name is Guo Xiaoling, right? You sit down and listen to grandpa. Sit down! ”

The old man was not angry and arrogant, and drank heavily, and Li Yi sat down involuntarily.

The old man's face softened, and he said in an unquestioning tone, "What did we just say? This thing, you have to agree. This is not negotiable. ”

What a trick, please enter the urn!

This old man's temper is still the same stubborn! I'm afraid it's hard to change in this life. is like this for his biological son, and now that Li Yi has not returned to the Li family, he has come up with Li Yi's idea again.

Li Yi's temper is printed in the same mold as him, and his dead ghost father was able to insist on his emotions at the beginning, not to mention him? He looked at the old man calmly and said in a polite but more resolute tone: "I'm sorry, I won't agree to this under any circumstances!" ”
