The official way of rebirth

After the meeting, when the time was about to end, the minister's office received a call from the U.S. Embassy. It was from Ambassador Jackson himself. After Li Gang asked Tang Yi for instructions, he transferred the call to Tang Yi's room.

Ambassador Jackson said on the phone that he was inviting Tang Yi to dinner in his own name. After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi asked Li Gang to check. It was not a very important appointment that evening, so he asked the office to call back and express his acceptance of Jackson's invitation.

When he went to attend the banquet, Tang Yi brought Li Gang with him, also known as Secret Jackson. He had just arrived at the center, so he naturally had to be more cautious.

Jackson is a white man in his fifties, short and gray, and appears to be very dignified. He knows a lot about Chinese culture and even knows how to give Tang Yi the menu and ask Tang Yi to order, just like a personal friend in China.

"Minister Tang, I have admired your name for a long time. In Chinese it is like thunder." Jackson raised a glass of Maotai and toasted with a smile.

Tang Yi smiled and had a drink with him, but saw the old man drank it with a slurp. Tang Yi was startled for a moment and drank the wine in one gulp.

It seemed that Jackson was indeed having a private banquet. He did not talk about politics. He talked with Tang Yihai from all over the world. Starting from the alleys in the capital that were unknown to the Chinese but had a long history, to the ancient capitals of the Central Plains and the water towns in the south, he knew them all very well, and he even humbly spoke to Tang Yihai.

Tang Yi asked for some allusions in history. To be honest, in the end, some of the allusions still stumped Tang Yi, so he had to say bluntly that he didn't know.

Jackson said with appreciation: "Minister Tang is well-deserved. He is as straightforward as us Americans. I also like Minister Tang's governing style. Several of my friends admire you very much, and Mike often mentions you."

Tang Yi waved his hand and said: "Honesty is a virtue of us Chinese people. Similarly, what your people think is not straightforward is often a kind of politeness. This is also our traditional virtue."

Jackson laughed: "Minister Tang, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me."

From the time he sat down, Tang Yi had been pondering Jackson's intentions and listening carefully to his every word, but by the end of the banquet, he didn't see any clues.

Jackson is a close friend of the President of the United States and a heavyweight figure in the Democratic Party. In the U.S. election a few years ago, he also had the hope of being nominated by the party, but because he pursued a friendly policy toward China, he did not receive the overwhelming majority of the party's power.

It is to be expected that he will not receive the support of mainstream American society. Even if he is really nominated, he will definitely fail miserably.

Naturally, such a character would not really treat the two brothers to a treat, but what exactly is his intention?

Back at Miaoshan Villa, Tang Yi thought about it for a long time and finally called He Sen and asked him to come over immediately.

He Sen is now the deputy director of the branch and is a division-level cadre. He is wearing a dark blue police officer uniform and is energetic. However, he has been lucky in the past two years and is slightly fat.

"He Sen, do you know Mike King? Is he an American?"

He Sen hadn't even sat down yet when he heard Tang Yi ask about this. He was startled and hesitated for a moment.

Tang Yi frowned slightly, "Tell the truth." It seems that he has found the context. I carefully recalled the conversation with Jackson just now. The old man mentioned Mike King several times. It turns out that he really has something to do with this person. The old man has been in China for a long time.

Yes, but the way of expression is like following the local customs and learning the Chinese style. It is fictitious and real, which makes people feel a little helpless.

He Sen did not dare to hide it anymore and said, "It was Lele who beat this man up." Lele is Tang Yi's nephew and the son of his aunt's cousin Su Nan. He has not graduated from college yet.

Tang Yi said nothing and picked up the teacup.

He Sen continued to talk. Mike is the vice president of China for a multinational group in the United States. He has been living in Beijing in recent years. He took his Chinese girlfriend to the mall a few days ago and got into an argument with Lele and his gang.

, then Lele led his men to beat Mike violently

After a while, the local police station seemed to have a bad attitude toward Lele and others when handling the incident. The two parties had physical contact. As a result, Lele and the others beat the policeman again, and finally alerted He Sen.

It was He Sen who got Lele and his gang out.

Thinking about it, Mike should have a friend or father who has a relationship with Jackson, and is familiar with certain domestic rules. After all, he still has to do business in the capital, and he doesn't dare to offend Lele and his gang too much. That's why Jackson used this method in a very tactful way.

After informing Tang Yi, I hope Lele will not cause trouble to Mike again in the future.

As He Sen spoke, he looked at Tang Yi's face and felt increasingly uneasy.

Violent music, flickering lights and shadows, men and women writhing crazily, decadence and decadence everywhere.

In the luxurious VIP room of Blue Island Disco, a dozen boys and girls clinked their beer glasses.

Sitting in the middle of the private room was a handsome boy with a cigarette hanging from his mouth and an excited look on his face.

"Lele, will everything be okay?" The young and beautiful girl in his arms asked him worriedly.

Su Lele curled her lips, showing a hint of contempt. His uncle He Lei owned shares in this discotheque, and it was here that he met these women. However, his girlfriend Ling had known her since high school and was a classmate in college.

, it took him a long time to catch up with him, and it was the first time he came into contact with his circle.

If he didn't need the anesthesia of alcohol now, he wouldn't have brought the spirit here. He didn't like this circle. If he stayed in this circle for a long time, people would become moldy and rotten, and he didn't want the spirit to become a member of it.

Although Ling's voice was soft, it was still heard, and a chubby girl laughed: "Sister, are you serious? How could something happen to Lele? Do you know who Lele's uncle is? He

"Uncle is," the fat girl deliberately lengthened her voice, and then softly uttered two words.

These two words seemed to have magical power, and the room immediately became quiet. When these new generation leaders mentioned his name, it was like the young generation of Mr. Long mentioned Tang Lao, Xie Lao, sacredness, majesty, and the mountains looked up to them.

. Even saying these two words directly was so difficult and a kind of disrespect. After the fat girl said it, she picked up the beer glass and drank heavily.

Ling asked stupidly: "Who is Tang Yi?"

The boys and girls in the room looked at her like a monster. For a long time, no one knew what to say about her.

Su Lele laughed. This was what he liked about spirits. Unlike in this circle, where everyone seems to be born into a hierarchy, he, because of his relationship with his uncle, seemed to be at the top of the food chain.

It seems that everyone does not want to talk about this topic anymore. A boy laughed and said: "Besides, Lele is here to eliminate harm for the people. Damn it, what I hate most is that foreign farmers come to Sijiu City to seduce good families and see them again."

This grandson, go ahead and beat him!"

Everyone said yes, Ling looked worriedly at these arrogant and domineering boys and girls. In the eyes of these people, it seemed that the city of Beijing belonged to them. They would not take it seriously if they beat up foreign bosses. Lele and Lele were also among them.

One member, is this still the Lele I knew before?

The box door was suddenly opened by someone, and the boys and girls were startled. Some people wanted to scold them, but when they saw the people coming in, they all shut up and stood up, shouting "Uncle," "Uncle."

Glancing at Lele, He Sen frowned, "Why don't you turn on your phone? Follow me."

Lele and He Lei have the best relationship, but they don’t like He Sen very much. He Lei is cheerful and loves to joke, and Lele and Lele are just like buddies, but He Sen is very serious. Many people in the capital are afraid of him and say he is shady. Lele

I also resisted him a little from my heart.

"Where to go?" Lele frowned.

"Stop talking nonsense and come out!" He Sen scolded him.

Su Lele suddenly understood something. He stood up, grabbed Ling's hand tightly and said, "Follow me."

"Where are you going?" Before Ling could regain his senses, he was dragged out by Su Lele.

Su Lele smiled: "Don't you know who my uncle is? I'll take you to see him."

Although he was still joking, Ling was keenly aware of his uneasiness. Lele had always used cynicism to hide his inner feelings, and how terrible was the person who could make him fearful?

Arriving outside the Blue Island Disco, He Sen glanced at Ling and said, "Send her home first."

But Su Lele held Ling's hand tightly and said, "No." There was that aggressive look on his face again.

He Sen frowned, but didn't say anything in the end, and gestured for the two of them to get in the car.

Ling jumped out of the off-road vehicle. He was just shocked by the beautiful scenery of the ancient royal courtyard in front of him, and was immediately startled by the armed police soldiers with loaded weapons and solemn expressions.

On the side of the iron gate, the armed police soldiers stood upright, with their bayonets shining brightly and their military uniforms straight, making people feel fear.

A handsome female police officer in camouflage uniform came over, carefully checked the contents of Ling's handbag, and then searched Ling. Ling looked at Lele helplessly, as if he was being manipulated by the female police officer like a puppet.

"Please come in." The female police officer immediately saluted with a standard military salute, and then made a gesture. I don't know who it was for.

Su Lele then took Ling's hand again. He probably couldn't explain why he brought Ling here. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of the people he was about to face, but he could always muster up courage when he was around Ling.

Just like this, dazzled and confused, Ling walked into the red carpet-floored living room. Two girls in crimson uniforms were waiting on the porch. Everything seemed mysterious and solemn.

There was a man sitting on the sofa in the living room, with his back to them. He turned his head when he heard footsteps. He didn't look very old, only in his early thirties, but his eyes were unbearable. In Lele

He Ling turned around, and Ling suddenly became panicked. Even at first glance, he was unable to make any judgment on this man's appearance. It was as if this kind of person could no longer treat people in the same way as ordinary people.

Know by impression.

Tang Yi saw Lele holding the girl's hand tightly, smiled and made a gesture, "Come and sit, Lele, is your girlfriend? What's her name?"

Lele is the son of cousin Su Nan and the grandson of my aunt. My aunt and her family are far away from each other. Maybe she still blames her grandpa for being partial, right?

Why I am ranked third is because my aunt Shi suggested that no matter what the surname is, whether they are male or female, they are all from the Tang family. Let's just rank Nan, Rongrong, and Yi according to their age. This will make them look closer, so, I

He became the third eldest brother of the "Tang family". He Lei, He Sen, Tang Xin and the others began to call themselves "third brother". However, in recent years, He Sen and He Lei have removed the "third" in front of them. Only Tang Xin

It sounds smooth, but I can't change it.

Sunan became the eldest brother of the "Tang family", and his aunt also had high expectations for him. Especially during the years when he rebelled against his grandfather, his cousin was always ready to enter a career, but his grandfather never gave up.

He also reprimanded his aunt and ordered his family to leave the capital. Therefore, until now, the knot between his aunt and his cousin may not have been resolved. Only his cousin Su Rong, who stayed with his grandfather, and himself

Walk closer.

My cousin is now the staff officer of the operations department of a certain army in the Beijing Garrison District, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. It can be said that he is very unsatisfied. In fact, when he was young, he had many promotion opportunities, but he was blocked by his grandfather and second uncle. It cannot be said that all his relatives are in important positions.

Therefore, it is understandable that my cousin is indifferent to her feelings.

Perhaps because of this, my cousin has great hopes for Lele, but educating children is a major subject. Even if you put all your efforts into it, if the education method is wrong, the result will often be the opposite.

Lele was like this. The older he got, the stronger his rebellious spirit became. He was disgusted with the "red blood" that his father often talked about. Sunan told him to go east, but he just wanted to go west. Originally, he was good at both morals and learning.

When he grew up, he became a real playboy. It seemed that Su Lele was not his style if he did not make trouble for a few days. Gradually, Su Nan also lost patience with him. In the past two years, whenever he heard that he was getting into trouble, he would just beat him with a stick.

he.

But who knows the pain in Su Nan's heart.

Thinking of his cousin, Tang Yi sighed softly. Perhaps Sunan would not have thought that the person who could understand him best in the world might be the person he had always regarded as the biggest obstacle in his life.

"Lele, you Don Quixote, who are you challenging?" Tang Yi looked at Su Lele with a smile.

In front of Tang Yi, Su Lele was undoubtedly very nervous. No matter how much he pretended to be cynical, the fear deep in his heart could not be hidden from him every time he saw this uncle.

Su Lele's heart was shaken when she heard her uncle's words, which seemed to be able to see through her heart at a glance. One can imagine her shock.

Tang Yi smiled again and said: "Are you rebelling against your father? Or are you rebelling against the world and the family? If you want to be a tragic hero, you'd better work hard and learn what it means to be responsible for your own life."

Su Lele didn't dare to say a word. Every word his uncle said seemed to pierce his heart.

Tang Yi smiled again and said: "At your age, I have resisted. I feel that our family has no family affection, no warmth, and is a cold tomb. But have you ever seriously understood the people around you?"

Su Lele was speechless.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Stay home and have a meal. When you are bored, don't go out and cause trouble. Come and see your uncle. Start with yourself and care about your relatives first, okay?"

Su Lele nodded silently.

Tang Yi stood up with a smile and said: "Let's go, let's serve the table! Ling, it's your first time here, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home."

"Okay." Ling Ling replied cautiously. There was no stormy reprimand as imagined, and there was no solemnity of annihilating relatives in a matter of business, but the few words of this uncle who was not too old were so convincing, although it was still unsatisfactory.

We know who he is, but the feeling of looking up at a mountain makes our head slightly dizzy. Yes, Lele is afraid of him, how could he not be afraid? You can imagine the status of his comments in Lele's mind.
