As the gray-haired and neatly dressed old men were personally led into the conference room by Li Huacheng, not to mention the battle-hardened parliamentarians, even Li Tianlan could clearly perceive the difference in atmosphere.Even if he doesn't pay attention to these things, he can still know the tremendous energy that these old men represent.They had stepped back from their top positions, and they didn't seem to have the slightest power in their hands, but this was also their most terrifying time.As they retreated, the juniors and subordinates they had brought with them were in the prime of life at this time, and a large number of backbones were under their command.What does this mean?
Among the major groups, even the Southeast Group, which is now the most cohesive, is not really monolithic.Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.When there are more and more people in a circle, there will naturally be more and more ideas.Large positions form circles, and within circles there are circles of small positions gathered, as is the case with any group.In such an environment, the directors elected by the major groups are the standard-bearers recognized by the majority of the group, and they are the result of mutual compromise after everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences.And the standard-bearer who is recognized by the majority of the major groups is the speaker.But neither the Speaker nor the standard-bearers of the major groups can unite all forces at any given time.At this time, those old people who once stood on a high place and then retreated and gradually fell silent became the most important force at the critical moment.This is the core wealth of every group.At some special times, they speak more effectively than the people who are now in the foreground of the major groups.Today, there are five elderly people attending the meeting.Two princes of the group.Two in the Southeast Group.There is also a person from the academy, strictly speaking, it can even be said that Li Huacheng's mentor, when he entered the conference room, he was even respectfully personally supported by Li Huacheng to come in.The five old men used to be members of the council, and as they entered, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became more solemn.Li Tianlan watched all this silently.If the new group also intends to participate in this fight today, then there should be six old people who appeared in the conference room at this time.Although the new group does not have such a background, the wealthy group does.If he hadn't decided to watch the play, then the old man of Dongcheng Hanguang of the Dongcheng family would also be invited over to compete for this pinnacle of standing.The five old men sat down not far from Li Tianlan's side.The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to be a little lighter, and there were voices greeting each other.There seems to have been a short break in the meeting.It's hard to avoid.Li Huacheng didn't maintain order for the first time, but just came to Li Tianlan's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder.Li Tianlan understood and stood up."
Elder Liu, this is Tianlan, Zhongzhou's future special advisor, you haven't seen it yet."
Li Huacheng took Li Tianlan to an old man's side, his voice respectful and gentle.Liu Lao is the eldest of the five old men.His hair is almost completely white, his eyes are very small, sitting there is like falling asleep, and the position of the old man at his peak is also Hua Zhengyang's current position, a second minister, and has made great contributions.It was also he who excavated Li Huacheng, worked hard and spared no expense to cultivate, and finally had the current academy.It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Lao can be called the founder of the academy."
Hello, Mr.
Liu."
Li Tianlan bowed slightly, and his voice was calm.The old man laughed vaguely a few times, and looked at Li Tianlan with wide eyes, his voice was twilight, but it was very clear: "Good, good, young and promising."
It's just that the naughty problem needs to be changed, Xiao Lizi has told me many times, the little guy who doesn't make people worry. ”"......"
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a while.He did a lot of things, but for the first time, he was judged to be mischievous.But even Li Huacheng is called Little Lizi, what else can he say?"
It's good not to make people worry, at least it means that they have energy, I have always believed in a sentence, too honest children are not productive."
Liu Lao held Li Tianlan's palm and patted it, and said earnestly: "You have to work hard in the future, safety has always been a big problem."
If you are young and find it difficult to do, you can communicate with Xiao Lizi, or you can come to talk to me, an old man.The position is different, so you can't be naughty casually, you have to be more stable. ”"Yes, Liu Lao."
Li Tianlan smiled and said in a calm voice: "I will remember your teachings." ”Liu Lao smiled and didn't say anything, just patted his palm again.The smile on the corner of Li Huacheng's mouth flashed away.Today is Li Tianlan's induction meeting.The position of special adviser will officially enter the parliament this time and become a member of parliament.This is a break from the practice of hundreds of years in the past, and this situation requires the consent of not only the parliament, but also the consent of these old people.He was the first to bring Li Tianlan to see his mentor, and Liu Lao also cooperated, and directly set the tone, so it was difficult for other old people to say anything."
Tianlan, these two are Ye Lao, and Tang Lao."
Li Huacheng took Li Tianlan to the other two old men: "Ye Lao and Tang Lao once served in Beihai and Wu Yue respectively, and later came to Youzhou, one was the president, the other was the vice president, and they were highly respected, and today is also the first time to meet." ”There was a smile in his voice: "Ye Lao, Tang Lao, this is Tianlan." ”A giant from the Southeast Group...
This thought flashed in Li Tianlan's heart, and he also owed a debt: "Ye Lao, Tang Lao, I have admired it for a long time." ”"Okay, okay."
Tang Lao smiled and nodded: "Tianlan's name is also like thunder, you deserve to be a special advisor, we have no opinion."
I'm relieved that a young man like you will be in charge of safety. ”Ye Lao didn't speak, just looked at Li Tianlan in a daze.There was something complicated in his eyes.Li Tianlan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at him quietly.I don't know how long it took before Ye Lao showed a smile and nodded to Li Tianlan: "Do it well." ”Li Tianlan didn't speak, but bowed deeply to Ye Lao.Now he is no longer the stunned young man who looked ignorant and knew nothing when he first entered the WTO.On different occasions, he had heard Ye Lao's name.Ye Lao's full name is Ye Hanyu, the former speaker of Wu Yue, and later served as the deputy minister and vice speaker, but Zhongzhou has a very high reputation.Most importantly, the personal relationship between him and Li Honghe is excellent.He can't be regarded as a member of the Li family, but after the collapse of the Li family, Li Honghe was able to take a large number of Li elites to escape to the frontier, and Ye Lao made a great contribution in it.No matter what Li Tianlan thinks of the Li family now, this favor, he has to admit it.Li Huacheng patted Li Tianlan and led him to the last two old men.One of the two old men was a woman, very kind and kind, and the other had a serious face, he looked at Li Tianlan, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and then he barely showed a smile."
Old Chen, Old Wu, this is Tianlan."
Li Huacheng smiled: "Well, Chen Lao and Tianlan have met once. ”"Yes, I saw it, it was still at Fang Qing's funeral."
Chen Lao, who is a kind grandmother, said with a smile, her voice is not in a hurry, although she is also surnamed Chen, but she has nothing to do with Chen Fangqing's Chen family, when she saw Li Tianlan at the funeral, she just said a few words, and now she is familiar: "When I saw this young man, I knew that it was not simple, he grew up too fast, with him, if Huacheng is used well, our Zhongzhou will be able to form a strong ruling force in the dark world, good, very good." ”Li Tianlan smiled, looked at Wu Lao beside Chen Lao, and narrowed his eyes slightly.Wu Lao's smile was a little stiff, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Tianlan, hello." ”"Hello."
Li Tianlan said lightly, he didn't mean to stretch out his hand, and he didn't even use honorifics.Those who saw this scene immediately focused their attention.An obscure light flashed in Wu Lao's eyes, and then he laughed: "This is what a young man looks like, sharp and sharp, this arrogance, it really reminds me of myself when I was young, it's not simple, haha..."
There was even some indifference in his eyes.Although he had tried his best to withdraw himself from Lee's position, there were some emotions that he could not turn a blind eye to after all.Wu Qingyuan.This name, don't say the current Li Tianlan.When he was a child, he had heard it too many times.The reason why the Li clan collapsed so completely is that Wu Qingyuan can be said to be the biggest culprit.After that incident, the Li family was in turmoil, and when Li Honghe didn't react, Wu Qingyuan almost completely broke down the foundation of the Li family in the most drastic way.After the Li family fled to the frontier, Wu Qingyuan, who chose to gamble once, naturally reaped unimaginable benefits, and at the same time, he supported Gu Xingyun and established Kunlun City, and finally ascended to the position of speaker, with unlimited scenery.If the Li family and the Beihai Wang family are entangled in grievances and inseparable, then Wu Qingyuan, in Li Tianlan's memory when he was a child, is almost the recognized mortal enemy of the Li family.He joined the world at the age of nineteen, and it is only today that I saw him for the first time."
Old man Wu..."
Li Tianlan looked at Wu Qingyuan's eyes: "I have admired the name for a long time." ”"I've heard your Li Tianlan's name many times."
Wu Qingyuan said with a smile, looking very kind.In any case, today's meeting is extremely critical for the Prince Group, and Li Tianlan is also a key figure in this meeting.So at this time, no matter what his heart was, he didn't want to tear his face with Li Tianlan."
I've also heard about the Li madman.Young people, it's completely understandable to be impulsive.And Li Fanatic had a problem back then, he returned to Zhongzhou, I was very unhappy, Tianlan's actions, no matter what the outside world says, at least in my private place, it can be regarded as a piece of heart disease, as for serving as a special adviser..."
Li Tianlan directly interrupted him, and said lightly: "Do you have any opinions?"
