Chapter 660 Three

Because he had already finished talking with his grandfather, Shen Lang also stood up and left the room. After all, there was not much affection between the two of them. Sitting together on a common topic is really a rather bizarre thing, but now that there is such an ending, it is obvious that the two of them did not have the original intention to face it, but this matter is irreversible.

Shen Zheng had been standing outside at the door. He turned around when he heard the noise, and the first person he saw was his younger brother, but when he looked back, he didn't see anything as he imagined. My grandfather, Shen Lang smiled softly at his elder brother, "I'll go to the room first, grandpa is in the room, maybe I have something to ask you, and I have something to say later." Looking at Quick Step The younger brother who left, Shen Zheng had been watching him leave. After hearing his grandfather's voice, Shen Zheng stepped into the house, but recently he often took a breath to ease his emotions.

"Sit down!" It can be seen that Ma Zhenggang's mood is not as good as he imagined. After seeing his grandson sitting down, he also sighed with a smile, "Relax, don't be so nervous, it's better than I imagined." Well, at least the conversation didn’t break down, but the emotional entanglement between the two of us has been completely wiped out. It’s not easy to discuss the right and wrong in it. It can’t be said that Xiaolang is definitely wrong. I can’t say I’m definitely right.”

"Grandpa, why are you like this? How about I talk to Xiaolang?"

"No need!" Ma Zhenggang directly shook his head and refused, "This is a reality that cannot be changed, and there is no way to judge whether it is right or wrong. If I admit that I am wrong, it will be a betrayal of my ideals. And if Xiaolang admits that he is wrong, that is a kind of denial of himself, plus some mistakes made by Xiaolang when he was young, it is not very strange that things have come to this point. Alright , Stop talking about this, talk about your business!"

"My business?" Shen Zheng asked a little puzzled, "Grandpa, everything is fine on my side now, as for the CCCC project, if it is completed, it will add a little more color, but If it fails, it will not have much impact, our entire team has already made preparations for this before coming here."

"Stop playing tricks on me. You are still far behind Xiaolang in this respect. If Xiaolang wants to cover up something, even I will find it difficult to detect the slightest bit from his eyes, movements and words. Are you I taught you by myself, and I know you too well." Ma Zhenggang also snorted coldly at this time, "What I'm talking about now is something about your future. Your second uncle has already gone down, and he has been appointed as a prince of this side. It's a foregone conclusion. On this matter, I have to admit that Xiaolang has a vicious vision. Hang it up for two years, so that your second uncle can understand and reflect on himself to a certain extent, and at the same time, it can also allow me to calmly plan. The only thing I'm worried about right now is you."

"Grandpa, I don't have anything here!"

"No, on the contrary, the pressure on your side will be very great, but it has not come yet. Your second uncle is a prince of one side, but you are not on his one-acre three-point land, and it is difficult for him to take care of you now , his role is only to connect the past and the future, occupy a certain position in the faction, and escort you. After I step down, you will gradually feel the pressure. I have already hinted at Xiaolang just now, let him not extend to you I don’t know if Xiaolang will pretend to be confused if I come out with any help, you have to talk to him about it.”

These words caused Shen Zheng to fall into a stunned silence. After thinking for a while, Shen Zheng also nodded and said: "Grandpa, I understand what you mean. This period of time will be the best training for me. How far I will go on this road in the future depends on my achievements during this period of time.”

"That's right, this is what I'm most worried about, because you have already entered the eyes of many political factions to a certain extent. If it's just me and your second uncle, it's better to talk about it, but Xiaolang He is also a very powerful person, and his economic means are indeed very powerful, so for this reason, everyone will not make things difficult for you, and this will inevitably give you a false impression to a certain extent. Don't worry, what I worry about is whether you can bear it and relax your control over yourself under such a situation."

Shen Zheng glanced at his grandfather in disbelief, and asked in a disbelieving tone: "Grandpa, are you worried about me and Xiaolang?"

After hearing this, Ma Zhenggang also frowned, "Having such a younger brother is not a good thing for you, it will have a great impact on your career development, is this impact good or bad? Bad is hard to explain. After all, no one can go to see it 50 years later. You may also feel the same way. I don’t like Xiaolang for no reason. I just don’t like him. Maybe I didn’t like him in my previous life. Right! It’s one thing that I don’t like him, but Xiaolang, a kid? In some respects, he still contributes a lot to the family, and I don’t deny that.”

"Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"Xiaolang is a guy who attaches great importance to family affection. In this regard, the family owes him something, but to a certain extent, Xiaolang is an extremely calm guy. Calmness here can even rise to the level of coldness and indifference. In the state. Although you are his elder brother, you may not know much about some things. He has actually paid a lot for you, but he is not a child who likes to express. I hope you will not go further because of my relationship with him. It affects you, and you need to remember that no matter what happens in the future."

Shen Zheng was even more puzzled at this time, he was really confused, "Grandpa, I'm really getting more and more confused now, you and Xiaolang are in the same situation, not only I know this, everyone The people inside know it, and even many people outside know it, but it gives me a feeling that you two seem to cooperate closely, I really want to know, what is the relationship between you and Xiaolang?"

"Our family can now have such a situation, Xiaolang is indispensable. On the surface, everyone can see that I am working hard, but in the dark it is Xiaolang who is laying the foundation. In fact, it is worthless to put it bluntly. Xiaolang understands very well that it is impossible for him to pull you into his **** faction, in that case the development of both of you will not be very good, and my identity also determines that you cannot join other camps , so the foundation he built is not so much for this family, but for you, and your second uncle and I are just using it to make the family develop better, but Xiaolang's hand belongs to Yang. I know it, but I can't do anything about it."

Shen Zheng also suddenly came to his senses at this time, and at this time he also smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, you are telling me this now, which makes me feel very stressed, and everyone is silently helping me. Pay, if I make any mistakes, I will really feel guilty!"

"I have thought about this for a long time. At least I am still alive, and your second uncle is also in the position now. This is a double insurance in itself. If something happens to you in the future, we will all stand up , so you don't have any scruples about doing things, not to mention that even if your second uncle and I can't keep you, Xiaolang will definitely not sit idly by, so at this stage, try not to Xiaolang helps you, in the long run, there are only disadvantages and no benefits, do you understand?"

Then Ma Zhenggang taught his grandson some things, and then let him leave the room. However, when Shen Zheng left here, he didn't go to his younger brother right away, but found a place to stay alone for a while. I need to sort out my thoughts. Suddenly, so many things were stuffed into my head, and I really couldn't bear it. About half an hour later, Shen Lang came to the door of his brother's room, of course. I will also rest here tonight.

On the contrary, Ma Zhenggang had been sitting in the study room with a gloomy look on his face. After Zhang Yunzhe returned and told about Shen Zheng's situation, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he sighed and said, "Regret!" I shouldn't have been so scruples back then, if it wasn't for the timidity back then maybe there wouldn't be as many things as now, we're all old."

"Waiting for me for a long time?" Shen Zheng said a little relaxedly, but Shen Lang looked at his brother's expression and smiled slightly, "Brother, we grew up together when we were young, so it's hard to hide it." You can't stand the other party, grandpa must have said a lot of shocking 'sex' topics to you! Although it may not be obvious to outsiders, no matter if it is me or my elder sister, you will know it just by looking at you , you don’t have to pretend to be relaxed.”

Shen Zheng walked into the room with a smile, and lay down on a bed not far away, "Brother, how long has it been since we chatted together? I'm talking in this way This sentence made Shen Lang slightly absent-minded, "I forgot, but it must have been a long time. Speaking of which, we seem to have already married and started a business. It is even more exaggerated to say that even our children can make soy sauce. "

"Xiaolang, among the existing children in our family, who do you think is more hopeful in the future? The so-called three-year-old sees old age. The benchmark for me and my daughter at that time was you. The friends around me are also the same. Everyone Today’s situation is due to you, brother, although I am your elder brother, I must admit this.”

Shen Lang just smiled faintly, "Brother, it's hard to say now, or it's too early to say, these children in the family are not suitable to be the benchmark for now, Liu Yuan and Xinxin are fine because of their age. Bring them along, as for what it will look like in the future, it depends on the development of the situation! But brother, speaking of this, I should give you some advice, you don’t need to be like this if you have a big family!”

Shen Zheng felt a little helpless when he heard his brother's joke, "Forget it, you kid always likes to hide, Trini's child is coming soon, I have already told Yanan about this matter, speaking of it This matter is really a bit embarrassing, do you think we two brothers are a bit too that?"

"It's just a brother and sister. Although it's a little shameless to say so, you can't lift your belt and pretend you don't know each other." Shen Lang also let out a long breath, took out his cigars, picked up one and came out. He also threw the box to his elder brother, "But speaking of it, sister-in-law is not easy enough. In this point, I am different from you, elder brother. You can open one eye and close the other about my affairs. It is even acquiesced to a certain extent, but you are different, brother, and the subsequent impact of this matter must be erased as soon as possible."

"What do you mean?" After pondering for a while, Shen Lang asked, "Let me do this! My family is full of outsiders, which is much more convenient than you. No matter how you do it , will keep the handle, but you need to do Trini's work, bear with it! Whether it's for the child, or for the two of you, but one thing must be made clear, this child can only be hung on the sister-in-law's Only in this way can it be explained clearly.”

Shen Zheng also nodded, "It has to be like this." After seeing his elder brother agreeing, Shen Lang didn't continue to entangle with this matter, but quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa, the old man is What do you mean, let me stand on the sidelines, or let me help out secretly? The former should be more!"

Facing his younger brother's questioning, Shen Zheng's mind was also switching rapidly, but he didn't mean to play charades with his younger brother, "Grandpa means, you'd better sit on the sidelines, after all, it's not your turn to come forward now, by Grandpa and Second Uncle stand up for me in the front, if the two of them can't stand it, then you will take the shot, after all, you are sitting there, whether it is me, Grandpa and Second Uncle are very confident."

"This top hat is a bit too big." Shen Lang said bluntly: "But this is a very good choice. If I make a move in advance, it is easy to lose this advantage. I am not humble enough to say, It’s like shooting mosquitoes with a cannon, it’s such a waste.”

"I said you were fat and you were still panting, but when I said this, I would like to ask you, Xiaolang, why can't you accommodate grandpa a little bit, look at the common goal of the two of you, Grandpa may have made mistakes in the past, but you let him admit this mistake, which is unlikely and realistic..."

Shen Lang waved his hand directly, and didn't let his brother continue to say this, "Brother, there is no need to say this matter, it doesn't make any sense, as for the so-called right or wrong, this has already become history , Grandpa and I can't compromise under the current situation, in fact, brother, you also understand that this has nothing to do with face, at least I think maintaining the current situation is a good choice."

"But grandpa is going to retire soon?"

"Which one will be in the future, at least it has nothing to do with the present." When he said this, Shen Lang also paused for a while, "I am going to start doing it in the near future. The father and son of the He family have already been given to me. Sometimes Tolerance time is not a good thing, you must not get involved in this matter, brother, especially at this moment, to paraphrase that there are unjust dead ghosts in that temple, this may not be appropriate, but It will definitely not come out of nowhere."

Shen Zheng stared at Shen Lang for a while, and then said a word in a bit of embarrassment, "I can tell, Grandpa really wants to know who you chose to attack."

Shen Lang shook his head and refused without thinking, "Other things can be discussed, but there is absolutely no room for discussion on this matter. I understand what you think in your heart, brother, but this matter involves too many levels. Deeper, when you reach the level of the second uncle in the future, you may understand why I did this. Grandpa wants to reduce the loss of the power of his *** faction. Anyone can understand this. What you do is not necessarily to seek any political benefits, a large part of it is to earn the support of the political faction for you, brother, but I can't do this. Maybe the old man is right. Relatively cold-blooded and ruthless."

Shen Zheng also sighed, "I guessed that you would say that, but this has nothing to do with being cold-blooded and ruthless. You and I have been brothers for so many years, I don't want to say this, but as a grandson, I have to try Try, as for what kind of consequences there will be, this is not in my consideration." After finishing speaking, I stubbed the cigar into the ashtray, "Xiaolang, if grandma asks tomorrow, how will you answer? And if Dad and Mom know about this, what kind of answer are you going to give?"

Shen Lang's body couldn't help shaking, "Grandma should already be quite clear about this matter in her heart, so her old man will never ask about this matter, as for father and mother? Let's just let it go! As long as the two elders don't If you ask, bro, just pretend you don’t know about it.”
