The most powerful person in the Federation is, of course, His Excellency President Sieg.

The vice president, the president of the federal management council, the director of the FBI, the national security adviser, and the mysterious director of the Chartist are all big names who stand beside the president and stand at the pinnacle of federal power.

The governors of the regions, the governors of large states like Ross, are also very remarkable figures. But the one with the highest prestige in the hearts of the federal people is the old man of the Li family in Philadelphia.

Outside the political structure of the Federation, the Seven Masters hidden in the shadows have enough strength to be able to compete with the big names mentioned above, especially those like the Xilin Zhong family, who have been stationed at the edge of the universe for generations and are similar to warlords.

The most mysterious and low-key Tai family in the Seven Families, the main thing all these years has always been a woman, from the engagement to the previous Tai family head at the Bimonthly Festival Ball at Ewha University, that woman from her biennial years, until now her youth is gradually gone, should be the most powerful woman in this federation, there is no one.

Especially when the Tai family is now gradually coming to the forefront, the existence of this lady is even more important, and every decision she makes may affect the future of the entire federation.

After becoming friends with Tai Zhiyuan, Xu Le knew the history of the Tai family and the status of this family in the Federation, and he was once curious about what kind of person Mrs. Tai was. Coming to the capital and entering the fruit shell, especially the experience of being imprisoned and released from prison in the past two days, made him feel the Tai family's terrifying influence on the Federation the most, so this curiosity became even stronger.

Sitting in a black car. Sitting on the electric car, looking at the lake and mountains, and looking at the green vine rain corridor. Xu Le's mood was not light, because he knew that he was about to see that lady, and he kept guessing in his heart. What kind of person should Mrs. Tai be?

I can't figure it out. Until he came to the terrace, he saw the woman who was smiling at Zou Yu's wrist movements at the white table under the parasol...... He suddenly understood that Mrs. Tai should be like this, her ordinary and peaceful face because of Shaohua's distancing, there was no trace of peculiarity.

No matter what people in the federation guess, Mrs. Tai is like this, that kind of woman. is Mrs. Tai.

Secretary Shen politely pulled open the chair next to Zou Yu and motioned for Xu Le to sit down, and then he went to Mrs. Tai's side, pulled the chair to the back, and sat down quietly, not caring at all about the blazing morning sun outside the parasol, silently stroking his hand, and keeping a suitable distance from the three people under the umbrella.

Xu Le felt that his lumbar spine seemed to be a little rusty, and the movement of sitting down seemed a little difficult, obviously it was a scene like afternoon tea on the lakeside terrace. But the air was because of the presence of the woman across the table. There was a hint of unsettling atmosphere.

Naturally, this was not because the afternoon tea was moved to the morning, but because of the identity of the lady.

This is the taste of power.

took the teacup handed over by Zou Yu next to him. Xu Le subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw Zou Yu quietly bowing his head and sharing tea. Every movement is so natural and graceful. Xu Le has seen this girl many times, but he never imagined that Zou Yu would be so pure, so quiet, and so peaceful.

The lady on the other side of the table did not speak after Xu Le took a seat, but took a slow sip of a small teacup of guna porcelain, squinting at the lake below the terrace, as if thinking about something far away.

Xu Le was silent for a moment, picked up the teacup handed over by Zou Yu and took a sip, there was no food in the local prosecutor's office, and he didn't drink much water in the morning, the key is that the air on the terrace has become a little deformed and dry because of the smell of power, and his throat is a little dry and spicy.

He finally understood why, the night before, Zou Yu was able to reveal the political collusion hidden behind the laboratory data. often accompanies Mrs. Tai to drink afternoon tea, and the girls who are exercised under this pressure should not be ordinary people.

It's just that this kind of tea is too depressing, Xu Le lowered his head slightly, put down the teacup, and thought in his heart, could it be that Zou Yu's coldness and madness outside was because he was too suppressed in front of Mrs. Tai......

However, now Zou Yu has become an unmarried mother, the fetus in her womb is growing up healthily, and her identity is the father of the child.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Le's mood became a little weird, but when he thought of Vice Minister Zou, he could see at a glance that he was taking the blame for others, and the wisdom of the lady in front of him could naturally be seen, not to mention that he called Tai Zhiyuan to inform him of the matter at the very beginning.

Just as he lowered his head and thought silently, Mrs. Tai had already withdrawn her gaze on the lake, smiling at his ordinary face, but still did not speak.

Xu Le put the teacup on the table, took a deep breath, raised his head, smiled and looked back, the smile was not deliberately made, but just like he did in previous years, sincerely, blindly optimistic and naturally presented.

It seems that he didn't expect that this young man who came to see him for the first time actually had the courage to look at him, and a trace of light floated imperceptibly in Mrs. Tai's eyes, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes stretched a lot.

At this moment, Steward Jin came to the terrace with a pot of coffee and poured a cup for Xu Le.

Xu Le was a little surprised, and nodded his head.

"Gata coffee, this is the caviar of the Caspian Sea. Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "I heard that you like it very much, so I specially prepared some today." ”

Xu Le was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the first thing this lady said today was actually this content. He was familiar with the aroma of coffee in his cup and the small plate of black pearl-like snacks on the table, because he used to buy scallion pancakes and porridge from stalls on many nights in the library area of Ewha University in Linhae State. Change the coffee and cake of that kid at the source of Tai.

Mrs. Tai is specially preparing this today, naturally she has heard someone say it. Xu Le immediately understood the meaning of Mrs. Tai's words, and Secretary Shen sent someone to fish him out of the local prosecutor's office. It's not because the Tai family needs Xu Le anything, Mrs. just values the friendship between her son and him.

"Tai Zhiyuan doesn't have any friends, except for Zou Yu. You're the only friend I've ever met. Mrs. Tai said with a smile.

Xu Le took a sip of coffee. Eating a piece of caviar, he talked about the absolute hunger in his stomach, but he laughed when he heard this, he believed that Mrs. Tai must not have heard anything from Tai Zhiyuan's mouth, but what Steward Jin said, you must know that Tai Zhiyuan should know very well that he has no good feelings about this strangely tasteful luxury biscuit. "I heard that you used to be a soldier in the Donglin Region, when did you enter Ewha University?"

Terrace, tea. This is something that only celebrities in the upper class of the federation like to do, but celebrities at different levels have different feelings, and there must be few people in the federation who are qualified to occupy half of the national park to be the background board of the tea party.

However, no matter what kind of tea is drunk, except for a very small number of solitary drinking and sniffing tea, it is a means of communication, and what to drink is secondary, the key is what to talk about.

Xu Le held the coffee cup, squinted his eyes, and the lake and mountains poured in. Listen to the lady's question. He replied quietly and politely, "Madam, I entered Ewha University in the winter of the sixty-fifth year of the Hyongi calendar. ”

"Oh, I think Tai Zhiyuan's father and I were also studying at Ewha University. How are the pear blossoms blooming in the pear orchard now?"

"It's beautiful. Xu Le replied: "I live next to the iron gate of Liyuan most of the time and take a lot of photos. ”

"I was living in a girls' apartment in Plum Garden......

Lady Tai with an ordinary face. Speaking ordinary words, there seems to be no temptation. The head of the Seven Families, who was high in the sky, used the common point of Ewha University to find the rhythm of the conversation, and chatted with Xu Le with a smile, diluting the previous atmosphere on the terrace a lot.

Xu Le was a little distracted at this time, and he thought that it had been almost two years since he fled from the Donglin Region, and the Plum Garden Apartment was ...... He once waited downstairs on a snowy night for a little girl in the apartment.

The gossip continued, and the tall lady on the other side of the table did not deliberately pretend to be approachable, she just looked at Xu Le calmly, and the scrutiny in her eyes was completely hidden by the Dicheng Mansion that had been cultivated for decades.

Xu Le didn't feel anything like a spring breeze, he knew that the lady across the table was not a politician, he didn't need to win the favor of voters, and he didn't need to maintain a people-friendly image, today he was able to sit on the terrace, in the mountain breeze, in the lake, not because he had the data of the laboratory as capital, nor because of Tai Zhiyuan's good relationship with himself, but because the lady opposite didn't know why, and wanted to see herself.

After the matter of the Pear Flower Campus was finished, Mrs. Tai got up and left, Zou Yu followed behind her, looked for an opportunity to turn around, glanced at Xu Le quietly, and made a strange expression.

There were only two people left under the balcony parasol, Xu Le and Secretary Shen, Xu Le knew that the real conversation had just begun at this time, and without the presence of the lady, he felt that the air was instantly filled with a smell called relaxation, and the lake and mountains began to reveal their true beauty.

Secretary Shen looked at him with a smile and asked, "Is the data still there?"

"In. ”

"When will it be given to me?"

Hearing the other party's extremely direct question, Xu Le's straight eyebrows straightened, the smile on his face did not change at all, but his mood was a little weird.
