The guests in the Fengpo Club maintained an almost standard smile, looking at the instrument, catering to each other's topics from time to time, making the smile on their faces a little more full, or laughing out loud, as for whether they listened to those words, no one knows.

Shi Qinghai naturally didn't have the heart to listen to these nonsense, his eyes rose from the three ancient letters of LFP on the white tablecloth and fell on Xu Le's face, confirming that he was still looking at the table in front of the rostrum, and said sarcastically: "She is not your woman, what's so upset? The committee asked her to be Nan Mingxiu's female companion, not as unbearable as you imagined." Your ex-girlfriend appears in the show, mainly to fight back against federal allegations about kidnapping. ”

Xu Le glanced at him.

Shi Qinghai played with the feet of the cup and said, "I checked it before I came." Last autumn's hearings, coupled with her second appearance last month, Zhang Xiaomeng was very popular with the federal public, and even felt a bit like a spokesperson for the organization...... Today's appearance is naturally for federal officials and the media to take a look at the young people who believe in George Carlinism...... It's all voluntary, not brainwashed by the mountains. ”

"You should believe in George Carlin, too. Xu Le said.

"Faith is faith, but I joined them for something. Do you remember the letter I left you?" looked at Chairman Kim Ki-beom and President Pabul on the rostrum, his face suddenly calmed down, and there was a hint of sigh between his charming eyebrows.

"The past Federation has ruthlessly hurt life, so I want to make this Federation better, people always have to do something...... Just looking at these scenes that I would never have imagined before, I suddenly felt that I couldn't understand something. ”

"Actually, I'm wondering if George Carlin, who is adored by countless people in the Federation, will ...... It's someone I know. ”

The light of the giant crystal chandelier was soft and magnificent, and when it came to their table, it became a little indifferent, and under Xu Le's ordinary face, a piece of light and shadow was reflected and said in a very soft voice: "It's just that this idea is too ridiculous, although that guy has all his teeth rotten, he doesn't look that old." ”

In the separate feelings of the two people who are completely out of tune, the charity cocktail party continued its own procedure and began to enter the auction process.

The location of the Liufeng Slope Club is predetermined. Only the outermost circle is in the worst position. The requirements will not be so strict. Sitting in such a position, the guests naturally did not have any heavyweights.

Even if so. At this time, the guests sitting at Xu Le's table were still famous people from Nankezhou, Daxizhou, and Hong Kong. What's even more amazing is the auction site. The real people who throw money at it. It's all from these remote corners. Probably because these people have money and status. But there has been a lack of an opportunity to get close to the heart of federal power.

The charity auction yielded two of the highest prices. They were a windbreaker donated by President Pabul and a gun carried by the leader of the South Waters.

The dark trench coat used to accompany the swarthy Mr. President. Riding in that battered military transport plane. On a certain New Year's night. Direct flight to Qinglongshan Airport. Witnessed the birth of the Federal Settlement Agreement. It is very historic in an occasion like today, and it is also very much in line with the theme of today's cocktail party. As for the land donated by the leaders of the South Water, they carried guns with them. It is full of rich symbolic meanings. The army leader even handed over his guns. What does this mean......

The hall burst into warm and sincere applause.

This was followed by a series of award ceremonies. The Special Investigation Team of the Ministry of Justice is the editorial department of the daily newspaper. Received a special federal medal. Looking at the stage excitedly in the hands of Mr. President, Xiao Wenjing, the prosecutor's face was calm, Bob, the editor-in-chief, and the still somewhat handicapped Wood reporter. The audience was silent for a moment and then burst into applause.

Everybody knows what these special award ceremonies represent, and these people who took the stage to receive the awards were staunch promoters of the Medellín project>Γ

And to commend on such an occasion shows that the federal government and the Qinglongshan ** army have reached a consensus on this matter, and it is even possible that it is because of this incident that the peace agreement between the two sides will be signed so smoothly.

Xu Le and Shi Qinghai glanced at each other, looked at the excited Xiao Wenjing and the two respectable media people on the stage, and applauded seriously. In fact, compared to these people on the stage, the two of them should probably be more on stage to accept the award, bathed in warm and enthusiastic applause, but it is impossible for anyone to call their names, because the things they do will never see the light, and they can only shine their brilliance in the dark.

"I'm getting more and more fond of our president. Shi Qinghai said with a smile while clapping.

Hearing this familiar title, Xu Le replied with a smile: "I like him very much too." ”

President Pabul's experience in the military is very pale, but he is a legal officer with the army, and he needs a reconciliation agreement with the ** army in the general election, and he can successfully become president, largely because of that explosive news incident. However, the dark-faced president still stuck to his promise afterwards, and even did not hesitate to offend the vested interests of the federation to investigate the Medellín case to the end and give it to many people...... Including Xu Oxfam Qinghai made a clear statement, this kind of tenacity and clarity has not been seen in politicians for a long time.

After the end of the first half of the program, the service staff of the Liufengpo Club quickly and cleanly changed the venue, the dance floor in the middle was vacant, and countless richly dressed bigwigs began to talk to each other, President Pabul had left early, and Chairman Kim Ki-beom from Qinglong Mountain and the son of the leader of the South Water naturally became the focus of attention.

No one knows what kind of way the Qinglongshan ** Army will enter the Federation after the great reconciliation of the Federation, and what changes it will bring to the existing political pattern, and no one even dares to confirm whether these guerrillas in the mountains can grow into some kind of political force, but whether it is a politician or a businessman, they must show their goodwill and cordiality in advance in this chaotic and unclear situation.

Shi Qinghai was carrying a bottle of red wine, leaning against the corner wall with Xu Le, watching everything in the venue tastelessly while drinking, and suddenly he saw the hand of a waiter hanging under the silver plate not far away, his eyes narrowed and he said something to Xu Le, and left the scene.

Someone was looking for Shi Gongzi, Xu Le leaned against the wall and lowered his head, carrying a red wine bottle a little boringly, not knowing if he should leave the Ministry of Defense Why did he come to this drinking party by himself, who wanted to see him?

He is not a person who likes to drink alone, and he is not interested in squatting in the corner of the wall to draw circles, although the wallpaper pattern of Liufeng Slope is bright and moving, but there is no way to study it for too long, especially looking at the blue in front of the drinking party surrounded by everyone and the proud face of the leader, his mood is a little depressed, he casually put the red wine at his feet, and walked out of the hall to the side terrace.

The autumn night was refreshing and there was a gust of wind, but it felt a little cold. Xu Le lightly held on to the stone railing with both hands, squinting his eyes at the mountains and forests in front of him, the stars above the treetops, the Charter Square across the forest, and the statues of the ignorant group of five, who were about to be quiet for a moment when he heard a hesitant footstep behind him.

......

......

He turned around, looked at Zhang Xiaomeng in the blue slanted shoulder dress, and said after a moment of silence: "Long time no see." ”

"Last year at the entrance of the Parliamentary Building. ”

Zhang Xiaomeng looked at it with a hint of nervousness, the knuckles of her fingers holding the wine glass were a little white, she combed the hair flowing in front of her forehead and took a brave step forward, getting closer to Xu Le.

In many cases, it is difficult for young men and women to find a topic to break the silence, perhaps talking about the weather and the moon, but not about happiness.

He just calmly looked at the familiar and beautiful face with the happiness he had had, the sadness he had had, and the deception he had had, and said directly: "On the bell tower, you once said to me that you stick to your beliefs, so give up your feelings with me. If George Carlin found out that you were in the house of the Seven Families, would he jump out of the grave in anger and scold you?"

He did not ask about her deception, did not tell what he had done to avenge her, but asked such a sentence so commonly, and yet it was such a sentence, which unabashedly revealed the depth of his heart about certain things.

"It's a cold autumn night, and you go out on the terrace in a thin gown, but you don't have to worry about getting cold...... Because this club of the Tai family is extremely extravagantly squandering the warm air. Xu Le stretched out his hand and waved lightly in the warm breeze and said, "Even the terrace has a warm breeze, think about the days of Qinglong Mountain, is it very different?"

Zhang Xiaomeng lowered her head slightly to hide the wetness in her eyes. She rushed to the terrace and wanted to say nothing to Xu Le, but it seemed that Xu Le didn't want to give her a chance to speak. She clenched the fist of her skirt hard, not calm and beautiful in front of the federal TV camera, but more like the pseudo-mature, actually stupid and naïve girl back then.

"You should know very well that this is not the case, the imperial invasion is imminent......" she defended softly, not knowing whether to justify the ** army or her own choice.

"No, it was Qinglongshan who couldn't support it anymore, so he chose to reconcile. Xu Le stared at her eyes and said with some annoyance: "Don't forget, I knew about this matter from the beginning, and I know it better than anyone else!"

"What if what you say is true?" Xu Le looked at the girl he once loved the most, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice with a hint of mockery: "You can give up love for the sake of faith, and you can give up faith for the great interests of human society, so what can't you give up?"

"If the faith wants you to go to Tai Zhiyuan, you will find it, and if the faith wants you to accompany the leader's son, you will accompany the ......" Xu Le raised his head and continued to say coldly: "In the past, your faith was Medellin, and now your faith is Qinglong Mountain, have you figured out what faith is?"

Zhang Xiaomeng looked at the face of this man who had never forgotten or forgotten, and was stunned without saying a word, without distinguishing or being angry, her lips pursed and she laughed, and two strings of crystal transparent tears slid down on her cheeks in a smile.

She knew better than anyone what kind of warm and kind man he was, but when she said such harsh words, how deeply she hurt him and how much suffering she brought?

At that moment, the door to the terrace was pushed open again.

......

(Well, I thought about it, I thought about it, okay, keep writing, there's still a chapter in the evening, I don't know when I'll be able to write it, so it's better to write more while it's okay these days.)
