Chapter 1199
That night, Wen Shuxu waited for Huo Sijiu to return and talked about the incident.
“Brother, do you think, by asking this, she means she’s on guard against us? It’s only been so long, just helping him secure that position and already so impatient?”
Wen Shuxu was still angry when she said this.
Huo Sijiu’s eyes were slightly cold.
However, he didn’t snap like Wen Xu Xu, but rather acted like these things had been expected of him a long time ago.
“Power is something that no one doesn’t like, and now that he can’t easily stop being controlled by that gang, he naturally doesn’t want me to get in his way, and it’s normal that he’ll let his wife come and probe you.”
“Ah?”
Wen Lifu’s eyes widened at once, “You mean …… Zhu Chengwen is also a member of that gang?”
Huo Sijiu nodded, “If not, do you think he can sit in this position? Also, when I gave him the evidence, did you see him keep his hand?”
Wen Shuxu: “……”
Of course he didn’t!
Those days of sweeping, one could simply say carpeting, not sparing anyone a single person.
Wen Shuxu did not say anything, can not say why, she began to worry a little bit again, if not thinking of God Yu and his wife just left, need to wait for them, she would like to persuade this man to leave here.
If you want to live a peaceful life, it is better to stay away from this place of right and wrong.
Time pa*sed quickly after the Chinese New Year, and it was almost New Year’s Eve.
Shen Zong Yu was quite happy, because this New Year’s Eve was as lively as the Shen family had ever been, with three little munchkins, and Huo Si Jue and his wife, the family had a rare reunion.
“Old master, for this year’s New Year’s Eve, should we call Shu Jing Zhai and Dao Xi’s side?”
This day, after housekeeper Lao Tian saw that New Year’s Eve had arrived, early in the morning, he came to Shen Zong Yu’s study and asked.
In the past, New Year’s Eve would have been a day for the entire God family to gather, and everyone would have come to the Observatory for a reunion dinner.
But this year, with so many fewer people over at Shu Jing Zhai, the only one still complete was the Shen Rong family, and Shen Rong, not yet a member of the Shen family. On the Diao Xi side too, after Pei Qing Yun’s death, her son, Shen Yuan Ling, has not been found yet.
Shen Zong’ou’s mood, which had been good early in the morning, had just dimmed again.
“Let’s not call it a New Year, this year it will be a New Year in your own home, you have someone make it hearty, and also, prepare some big red envelopes for me, I want to give them to those little ones.”
“Yes, Master.”
Old Tian immediately went to do so.
Little Ruo Ruo was already in the garden running around happily, she was wearing a little red flowery coat today, and on her round head, Sister Wang had to tie a particularly cute little tug for her.
So, running all the way here, it wasn’t even New Year’s Eve yet, and the servants in the house couldn’t resist giving her red envelopes.
“Ruo Ruo, come here quickly, there are red envelopes here, big red envelopes yo.”
“Yes!”
A wind gust of wind, the little girl, who is already over eight years old, ran over.
By the time Wen Xu Ruo finished the New Year’s Eve dinner and came out of the kitchen, the little girl was already carrying a small backpack of red envelopes.
“Mommy, look, I’ve received so many red envelopes, my brothers and I are going to give red envelopes to their children later when the guests come.”
“Guests?”
Wen Shuxu froze for a moment.
“We don’t have guests at home today, it’s New Year’s Eve.”
“Yes, Godmother said that she would come over to see me today and bring the children over.”
Ruoruo said with certainty.
Wen Shuxu: “……”
Godmother?
Does she mean Yu Xuemei?
Wen Shuxu’s brow twisted down slightly, because at this time, she was not very fond of outsiders coming to disturb her, especially this Yu Xuemei.
However, at the beginning of the meal, as Ruoruo said, this person really came, and this time, she was not alone, she brought her husband too.
At the same time, there were two other families.
“Wow, Godmother is here, and the little orange girls are here too.”
The children did not know what to do, and when Ruo Ruo saw her playmates coming, she was so happy that she went over and pulled them out to play with her.
Only Mo Bao and Huo Yin, both of them, saw the scene and gloomed a small face behind the adults’ backs.
“Why would sister know they were coming over?”
“The last time you guys went on a trip?”
Huo Yin, who had always said little, only asked this with a cold little face.
At those words, Mo Bao also went down cold, he had always been a sunny and big-hearted child, but now after seeing that there were actually people who had taken advantage of his sister right under his nose.
He was furious!
Mo Bao turned around and followed him over.
Huo Yin took a look and didn’t follow along, but, he went back to his sister’s room and not long after, after finding his sister’s phone watch, uninstalled all the software in it.
Since they have all come, then Wen Shuxu and others can only greet.
The highest leader, and the first lady, ah, can be neglected?
“Sorry, old man, I didn’t even say hello to you before I came, I was listening to Xuemei say that you can already get off the ground, that’s why I wanted to come and see, I won’t be in the capital tomorrow.”
Zhu Chengwen came in front of Shen Zong Yu and explained.
Chapter 1200
He has been immersed in the officialdom for decades, and although he is straightforward, he knows how to deal with these people.
“You’re too kind, I’ve had a stroke, thanks to my granddaughter-in-law, she sticks needles in me every day so I can get down to the ground again, I’m sorry for your concern.”
“What kind of words is that, you are a national meritocracy, isn’t it right for me to come and see you?”
Zhu Chengwen was also saying polite things again.
After exchanging pleasantries, finally, the group all joined the table, so in the end, this New Year’s Eve meal, which was supposed to be for the Gods’ own people, was spent with these people.
After three rounds of wine, the table put down their chopsticks and went back to the lookout as the children wanted to set off fireworks.
“Bang-”
It was still very beautiful as the brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky, colourful fireworks that lit up the whole sky after which the sea’s sparkling surface reflected it in splendour.
“Old General, I wonder what your plans are for next year?”
Shen Zong Yu was standing on this lookout with a smile on his face when suddenly, he heard Zhu Chengwen next to him ask a question.
Next year?
Shen Zong Yu withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at him calmly, “I wonder which aspect your Excellency is asking about? Does it refer to the economy of our Divine Family next year? Or ……”
“Of course it is the Congress side, I am preparing for the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Congress to merge once the year starts, so I would like to ask Old General’s side what he thinks, which position needs to be reserved for your God Family is better?”
This Zhu Chengwen, after laying the groundwork for the whole night, finally got to the point.
The highest leader in the hall could still ask questions like this?
Shen Zong Yu looked at the fireworks not far away and smiled, “Your Excellency has overstated his case, our God Family has always served the people, not that we can be in whichever position we want to be in, but in whichever position the people need us to be in, we will be there!”
This old man, surprisingly, did not give him any face at all.
The faces of the people around changed, especially Yu Xuemei’s, who didn’t even continue to set off the fireworks in her hands after seeing her husband being disliked so fiercely.
Instead, she immediately kept a close eye on this side.
However, what surprised them all was that this party, Zhu Chengwen, didn’t react much when he heard it.
“In that case, then I don’t think he’s suitable to stay in the National a*sembly, your God family is a military family and relies on leading troops into battle, but God Yi he doesn’t know how to do that, how about this, I’ll transfer him to my side and be my secretary.”
“What do you mean? Secretary?”
The moment these words were spoken, the entire scene drew a cold breath.
Not only was it Shen Zong Yu, but even those who had followed this man over were also looking at this supreme leader with their jaws dropped.
A secretary!
Had the heir of the God Family, who was above all others, even reached the point where he was only working as a secretary for someone?
Everyone didn’t dare to make a sound, and their gazes, on the other hand, immediately glanced towards a short distance away with trepidation. Fortunately, that terrible man was accompanying the children in their fireworks display, and he did not hear the commotion over here.
“What does Your Excellency mean? You asked my grandson to be your secretary? Have you been drinking a little too much tonight?”
Shinzonou Mikoto finally spoke up.
He held back the anger in his heart and stared at the man and asked in a cold voice.
However, once again, challenging his limits, this man in power, who their God Family had just helped him secure his position, denied being drunk.
“Old General, this arrangement of mine was decided out in response to those words of yours just now, if it was your eldest grandson Shen Yu who was still around, then the position of the three armies over at the Congress would still be your grandson’s, but now that he is no longer around, I can’t leave the three armies in the hands of someone who doesn’t move the military at all, or, if Old General really doesn’t want to give it all up, you can come out again. ”
“You-”
Shen Zong Yu was finally so angry that his chest rose and fell violently!
Having lived for over eighty years, this should be the first time he had seen such a rampant and shameless person.
This was the Divine Family, how dare he, a newly stabilised ruler, come here and openly delegate the power of their Divine Family, wasn’t he afraid that he, Divine Zong Yu, would get him killed?
God Zong Yu finally had a hint of murder in his old eyes: “Zhu Chengwen, don’t forget who held this mountain up to you, you are so impatient, aren’t you afraid that when the year starts, you will be the one to roll down first?”
“……”
With a single word, this man’s face finally changed.
The people around saw this and quickly and fruitfully rounded up the situation, “Old Master, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, our Excellency really just had a few more drinks, don’t take it personally with him.”
“Yes, yes, old master, he’s really drunk, I’ll scold him when we get back!”
Yu Xuemei was also without any semblance of human colour as she hurriedly spoke for her husband as well.
Only then did Shen Zong Yu stop.
However, his sight was still stern, like a tiger that had been thoroughly angered, and although he was older, the murderous aura in it was still gut-wrenching.
“I tell you, don’t hit our God’s family, I don’t care how you want to gang up and consolidate your own regime, but the position of the three armies over at the National a*sembly presumes to touch my God’s family one bit! Otherwise, I will make you all roll off this regime first, just like the gang that was just purged!!!”
