"That's your idea, I won't think so. Okay, don't worry about it, let it go. If they want it, I won't object. But..." Mr. Luo waved his hand a little irritatedly, "It's too early to say this now, let's talk about it later!"

"By the way, Old Man Luo, when are you going to let Polu come back?" Old Xie asked in a deep voice.

Mr. Luo smiled bitterly: "I asked Chaoyang to call the boy and allow him to come back at any time - as long as he comes back, can I drive him out again? But this boy is just a stubborn donkey, and you don't know!"

"This kid Polu is a bit stubborn, just as stubborn as you." Old Xie sighed.

Mr. Luo laughed: "You old boy said something strange. If our children don't follow me, can they follow you? Nonsense!"

"Don't hurry up and let him turn around slowly. Since the family of three lives well in Anbei, let's maintain the status quo. I guess, for the time being, he is unwilling to return to Beijing. I don't know how much resentment this kid has towards me, but I was too..." Mr. Luo said this, feeling deeply moved and feeling complicated, so he stopped talking.

The things that happened back then were difficult to judge who was right and who was wrong. Everyone had their own positions. From Mr. Luo's standpoint, even now, he would still not agree to the Luo family's children marrying a commoner woman. He would still oppose Luo Polu's marriage whenever he did everything again. Of course, his attitude would definitely not be as fierce and tough as in the past.

Mr. Xie silently let out a long sigh: "That's true. I can't be anxious, so take it slowly."

...

Luo Zhiyuan got off the train at around 4 a.m. and returned to Anbei City.

At this time, the chaos in Anbei City had been settled and everything was settled.

Chen Ping's criminal evidence was conclusive and was handled simultaneously with Hou Senlin's case. With the cooperation of the municipal party committee and government, the work progressed smoothly. The relevant evidence and clues were verified one by one. Hou Senlin had major economic problems, abuse of power and lifestyle problems. If nothing unexpected happens, it is inevitable that he will be brought to justice.

Yesterday morning, Deng Ninglin led some members of the task force back to the province and reported the case to the main leaders of the provincial party committee in person. When he learned that Hou Senlin's case was so serious and had such far-reaching negative impact, the main leaders of the provincial party committee immediately instructed the task force to continue to conduct strict investigations and handling of the two cases at a deep level, and strive to make the two cases a solid case.

As Luo Zhiyuan judged and guessed, the provincial party committee studied and downplayed Zheng Pingshan's problem. Deng Ninglin talked to Zheng Pingshan on behalf of the provincial party committee. As soon as Zheng Pingshan was free, he immediately resigned to the provincial party committee on the grounds of health issues. The provincial party committee immediately agreed to Zheng Pingshan leave his post and retire early.

Luo Zhiyuan was confused after returning home for several hours. At around 9 a.m. the next day, he rushed back to the newspaper office and reported the exclusive interview with General Yu Pingnian who he wrote in Beijing to the editor-in-chief.

In fact, due to major events in the city, the "Series of Reports Celebrating the 42nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" planned and organized by the newspaper had been cancelled. However, Luo Zhiyuan successfully interviewed the veteran general Yu Ping and brought back Mr. Yu's inscriptions written by Mr. Yu. After research, the senior executives of the newspaper decided to publish this special article and also published Mr. Yu's inscriptions in the newspaper headline the next day.

At the editorial board meeting that afternoon, the newspaper leaders praised Luo Zhiyuan. However, Luo Zhiyuan did not take this verbal praise too seriously. To put it bluntly, he had already planned a new life path and had no intention of surviving in the newspaper. Since this is the case, he actually did not pay much attention to whether the newspaper's work can achieve results.

But for the time being, the time is not yet ripe, and he still has to continue working in the newspaper office for a while.

After the editorial board meeting was held, he signed the manuscript according to the procedures and handed it over to the editorial center to type, and Luo Zhiyuan was fine. He had just returned to the office and greeted Song Jianjun, Lao Huang and three others. The pager rang, which was a message sent by Tang Xiaolan.

Luo Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of Tang Xiaolan's paging message finally proved her safety. After thinking about it, he grabbed the phone and returned to Tang Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, I am Luo Zhiyuan."

"Zhiyuan..." Tang Xiaolan's voice was soft and a little eager, "You're getting off work soon? I'll have something to ask you for, let's have a meal together."

Without waiting for Luo Zhiyuan to answer, regardless of whether he agreed or not, Tang Xiaolan said directly: "Zhiyuan, see you at six o'clock in the old place!"

After saying that, Tang Xiaolan hung up the phone.

The so-called "old place" is the rich food city. In fact, the two of them had only eaten there once, but for Tang Xiaolan, this place has a special significance. She chose to date Luo Zhiyuan here and see him again, and she had her own intentions.

Luo Zhiyuan left the newspaper, did not take a taxi, and slowly walked to the Fuhao Food City. There were still 40 minutes left before 6 o'clock, and he walked over like this and it was just about time.

At the gate of the Big Rich Food City.

Tang Xiaolan has arrived. Today she was wearing a light green suit, with a half-piece fitting and close-fitting upper body, and a beige embroidered lapel shirt inside; a skirt on the lower body, and her perky buttocks and body curves set off to the fullest.

She tied her hair up, applied makeup, and smiled. Yingying stood there, beautiful and incredible. And her look back and waved to Luo Zhiyuan, giving people a thrilling beauty with a look back and smile.

Luo Zhiyuan walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaolan dressed so formally today, which made me a little uncomfortable."

"I came directly from the company. Zhiyuan, let's go, I've booked the room." Tang Xiaolan's smile on her pretty face became even brighter, and her eyes were full of sincerity.

Over the years, she has been hiding in the business world and playing with many men in her hands. She rarely gets along with men as relaxed and calm as she is now, and does not add any utilitarian ideas.

After entering the private room, Tang Xiaolan waved his hand to signal the waiter to start serving. She ordered the dishes in advance, but Luo Zhiyuan didn't care. However, when the dishes were served, he suddenly realized that most of them were quite in line with his taste.

He was silent for a moment, and a complicated smile twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth. Tang Xiaolan was indeed not a simple woman. In just a few contacts, she had learned about Luo Zhiyuan's various preferences through various details or observations. This kind of observation and judgment are very accessible.

"How about it? These dishes are still in line with your taste? I heard before that you like Sichuan cuisine and meat, so... I ordered some." Tang Xiaolan raised his fingers to the dishes on the table, picked up red wine and poured a glass of Luo Zhiyuan, and filled it with one cup himself.

"I like it very much. Sister Xiaolan is kind, thank you." Luo Zhiyuan laughed.

"It should be me who said thank you. Really, Zhiyuan, I can have today, it is entirely the result of your help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know yet..." Tang Xiaolan sighed quietly, and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I won't say this anymore. In short, my sister invites you to dinner today, just to say thank you in person."

"What are you grateful for... Sister Xiaolan is so polite." Luo Zhiyuan raised his glass and ran into Tang Xiaolan, "Is the situation good recently?"

Tang Xiaolan nodded, "Well, Hou Senlin's case is basically over, and I have also withdrawn. Because Chen Ping was arrested, Huatai Group's money fell and scattered, and I happened to pull out my company..."

Thinking of the two decisions she just made today, Tang Xiaolan's smile became even stronger. However, she felt that Luo Zhiyuan might not be interested in corporate operations, so she didn't say anything further.

Huatai Group collapsed, and several of its member companies announced "**". Most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises that have been swallowed up by Chen Ping over the years, and have a certain degree of autonomy. However, the core industries that Huatai Group truly controls, such as chemical fiber and textiles, and real estate development, are two or three major parts of the core industries directly under Huatai, and the capital chain is suddenly broken and the capital is insolvent, so it can only close down.

Tang Xiaolan fell in love with several pieces of land that Huatai Group had before. She held a Guangming Company management meeting today and decided to take over these pieces of land through financing and hoard them.
