Villain: Betrayed by the heroine at the beginning

Zhou Yongyan was at home to receive Mu Yunke and Liao Chun.

Although Zhou Yongyan served in the imperial capital, his wife and son were not in the imperial capital, but in other cities. In the imperial capital, Zhou Yongyan lives alone, and there is usually no one else except a nanny.

After the nanny cooked the meal, she was sent home by Zhou Yongyan. So when Mu Yunke and Liao Chun arrived, only Zhou Yongyan was the only one here who had already set up a banquet waiting for the two of them.

After entering Zhou Yongyan's house and seeing the slightly simple layout inside, Mu Yunke was thoughtful.

Whether a person in power can make decisions for the people can often be known by looking at the layout of the home. If you are a ruler who is indulging in pleasure, it is natural to put a lot of expensive decorations in your home, some of which are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some are high-priced wines. What's more, shrines and Buddha statues will be placed at home, and three incense sticks a day will never stop, just like a devout believer.

But Zhou Yongyan's home does not have these things. Furniture and household appliances are the kind used by ordinary people, and Mu Yunke's eyesight can naturally see that the value of these furniture is not high, and there is no collection value, it is purely the level of "enough".

The wine Zhou Yongyan took out was really good, but it was only good at the general level, and the market price was two or three hundred yuan. You must know that the price of a truly expensive wine can be at least four figures, and in rare cases, it can even reach five or even six figures.

And the top rich second generation like Mu Yunke has even drunk hundreds of thousands of wine.

However, for Mu Yunke, whether it is hundreds of thousands of red wine or a two-pot head bought casually on the street, there is no difference. It's not necessarily that the good wine is not good enough, but Mu Yunke really doesn't have much taste for wine.

Liao Chun walked beside him and whispered to him: "This number one is very incorruptible among those in power. But he will sit in that position, not because he is incorruptible enough, but because he has nothing to do with the Eight Great Families. "

Liao Chun came over this time, still dressed in the same way as when he was in Hailan City, looking like a man and a woman. I have to say that just rushing to Liao Chun's figure and pretending to be a man really won't arouse the suspicion of others.

Hearing this, Mu Yunke nodded slightly. Indeed, in this special place of the imperial capital, those at the top often value not honesty and ability, but their position. And they chose a person who has nothing to do with the Eight Great Families, which shows their intentions.

After Mu Yunke and Liao Chun entered the house, Zhou Yongyan said to the two with a smile: "Welcome to the two of you! I don't have any good things here, just some home-cooked food, and I hope you two don't dislike

it!" Mu Yunke also smiled and said: "You are so polite! We are also ordinary people, and we like home-cooked food the most!"

These are all health care products produced by my wife's company, they

are not worth a few dollars, and I hope you can accept them!" Zhou Yongyan hurriedly waved his hand: "This is unacceptable! As a person in power, I can't just accept gifts from others

!" Mu Yunke shook his head and said: "Don't worry, even if these health care products are calculated according to the market price, they are only a few hundred yuan, and they may not be worth as much as your bottle of wine! Don't shirk it!"

"Since this is the case, then I will accept it." Zhou Yongyan no longer shirked and took the gift box handed over by Mu Yunke.

Liao Chun next to him smiled and said: "I came here with empty hands and cheekiness, please don't be surprised!"

People can come, and don't give gifts or anything. Zhou Yongyan waved his hand.

After all, Liao Chun came out of the Security Bureau, and his behavior of visiting those in power was very sensitive. If you bring a gift to the door, you will inevitably fall behind. Liao Chun knows this very well, so he will be empty-handed.

Next, under the hospitality of Zhou Yongyan, the two sat down one after another and began to taste this home-cooked meal.

Although Zhou Yongyan had already contacted the commissioner of the Security Bureau, the commissioner he contacted was not Liao Chun, so he did not know Liao Chun's identity. After Mu Yunke's introduction, he showed a sudden look.

The three of them chatted while eating.

For young entrepreneurs like Mu Yunke, Zhou Yongyan is very appreciative. If the country can have more entrepreneurs who work hard, then the country's development will be smoother. And this is also the main reason why he will vigorously support the Yunyao Group exchange meeting.

But at this dinner table, they are not mainly discussing this issue.

In the beginning, the three of them just talked about some painless topics. It wasn't until half of the food on the dinner table was missing that Zhou Yongyan took the initiative to bring the topic to the point.

Zhou Yongyan said to Mu Yunke earnestly: "When Mr. Mu came to the imperial capital, what he did should not only be to establish branches and open up the market, right?

You're right, the main purpose of my coming to the imperial capital is not for the group, but for one person. "

Who?"

Ye Fan. Mu Yunke said seriously.

"Ye Fan..." Zhou Yongyan chewed on the name and asked, "Mu always has a friendship with this Ye Fan, or do you have some contradictions?"

Mu Yunke said calmly, "It's inconvenient to say more about the specific details, I can only tell you that between me and Ye Fan, one must die."

When Zhou Yongyan heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning. Mu Yunke's words were very polite, almost putting the murder directly on the surface. But is it appropriate for you to say this in front of a high-ranking official?

But when he looked at Liao Chun, a staff member who had come out of the Security Bureau, he suddenly felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

So Zhou Yongyan asked, "Then I don't know what Mr. Mu plans to do?" "

This, it depends on Commissioner Liao's plan." As he spoke, Mu Yunke glanced at Liao Chun.

Liao Chun smiled slightly, and did not answer this question directly, but asked Zhou Yongyan: "Do you know who recommended you in the first place?"

Zhou Yongyan's eyes narrowed slightly: "I heard that the person who recommended me is Yuan Lao." "

When it comes to Yuan Lao, everyone in the whole country knows about it, and no one knows it. Although this person is not the speaker of this country, his influence is unparalleled, and he can be called an evergreen tree in China.

"That's right. Liao Chun nodded, "But do you know that in fact, when Yuan Lao recommended you, it was opposed by many people at the beginning? It was after Yuan Lao gave up some benefits that he got other people's compromises." "

This... I really don't know. Zhou Yongyan looked surprised and said, "Why would Yuan Lao rather give up some interests and choose me? I don't have a friendship with

Yuan Lao!" Liao Chun smiled: "Although there is no friendship, it meets Yuan Lao's needs." Because you were the only one who had nothing to do with the Eight Great Families among all the people selected at that time. "

Zhou Yongyan can get to this position today, and his sense of smell is still very sensitive. As soon as he heard Liao Chun say this, he immediately understood: "You mean to say that Yuan Lao wants to weaken the authority

of the Eight Great Families?" Liao Chun sighed and said, "At the beginning of the establishment of the country, the Eight Great Families all made a lot of contributions. So after the establishment of the state, each family gained status and authority. In the beginning, those in power had the best intentions to build the country. But over time, they became obsessed with the authority in their hands and became more and more unwilling to let go. And this is what Yuan Lao has always been worried about.

Zhou Yongyan nodded thoughtfully: "Yuan Lao, does this want to return the government to the people?"

Liao Chun nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Our life today is not easy to come by, and this country has also gone through a lot of hardships before finally overthrowing the feudal monarchy and establishing today's Huaguo. And our country will never tolerate ZZ oligarchs, otherwise the martyrs will die in vain. But now there are some people who are greedy for power and want to pass on the power in their hands from generation to generation like a feudal hereditary, which is contrary to our original intention. Therefore, Yuan Lao decided that the authority of the Eight Great Families must be weakened, and it must be done before Yuan Lao is alive!"

Zhou Yongyan understood what Liao Chun meant. Although Yuan Lao is not the core of those at the top, his position is unshakable. No matter who those people at the top are, Yuan Lao has always been firmly fixed in that position like a sea god needle.

But Yuan Lao is now ninety-three years old, and his health is deteriorating. To put it mildly, with his current physical fitness, he may return to the West at any time. Even if it is optimistic, it is only three or four years to live. And after Yuan Lao died, the top level of Huaguo also lacked the Dinghai Divine Needle, so wouldn't this country completely fall into the hands of the eight great families?

Zhou Yongyan has always had a dream, that is, to become one of those people at the top. He is not greedy for power, but he also genuinely wants to do more for the country. But he also knew very well that even if he could successfully become one of those at the top, his influence would never be comparable to that of the Eight Great Families.

The one who can balance the eight great families is now only Yuan Lao. And this is also where Yuan Lao is worried.

Liao Chun came over today, ostensibly on behalf of the Security Bureau, but in fact, she came directly on behalf of Yuan Lao to have a showdown with Zhou Yongyan. Zhou Yongyan was a dark chess game played by Yuan Lao in the early years, and now it is time to use it.

Zhou Yongyan didn't expect Yuan Lao to play such a big game of chess, and he was a little stunned for a while. He pondered for a long time before he said, "Then I don't know what I can do?"

Liao Chun smiled: "This, it depends on how ambitious you are!"
