Tang Shi handed the cloak to the servant who reached over. When he heard the voice, his hand paused, and then he raised his eyes to look at Yanxu.
Yanxu also handed the cloak in his hand to the servant, with a calm expression on his face, put his arm around Tang Shi's waist, and led him into the living room.
The speaker was none other than the Yan family's sister-in-law. She was so enthusiastic that it made people feel that something was up to her.
Sure enough, when Tang Shi and Yanxu walked over, they saw a stranger sitting on the sofa. Among the family members, a strange face suddenly appeared, which seemed very abrupt. It was a young woman, quite tall. Beautiful, she seemed very nervous at the moment, timidly raising her eyes to peek at Yanxu.
The Yan family was all gathered together today. Except for Yan Xing who was out on a mission, everyone else was here. Even the two aunts and their whole family were here. They all looked at Tang Shi's face secretly with a little caution. Only the aunt One person was smiling and no one else was talking.
The old man held the crutches with both hands and had a sullen face, looking very unhappy.
Normally, the old man would be very happy when Tang Shi and Yanxu came back for dinner. With his face today, anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood. "Now that Xiaoxu and Xiaoxiao are back, if you have anything to say, say it openly and honestly." , after today, no one can disturb my purity." As soon as the old man spoke, his tone was very aggressive, and he was obviously very angry.
The aunt hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over, "Dad, look what you said, Xiaoxu is a member of our Yan family. Who wouldn't want to wish for the good of his own family?"
Then he looked at Yanxu and said, "I don't have anything big to do. Even if your uncle and two cousins are idle at home all day long, it's not a big deal. I just thought that your uncle also worked in the Awakened Guild before. You have experience and qualifications, so if you are so idle, isn't it a waste of talent?"
Yanxu and Tang Shi did not go over and sit down, but stood in the living room. There was really no room to sit on the sofa, and they did not want to sit down. One look at their faces, and one knew that something unpleasant must have happened before they came. .
The two of them understood the meaning of their eldest aunt's words, and when they looked at their eldest uncle again, they both had a clear look in their eyes.
The eldest uncle kept his head down and said nothing. There was no family in the entire Xia City that could surpass the Yan family. The Yan family had a head of state. How could the old Zhou family dare to offend him? No, the momentum was so weak back then. The two aunts are now active again, and they are all superior to each other in the husband's family. Even the husband, who was tough at first, is now mute.
Tang Shi just raised his eyebrows and said nothing. This was Yan Xu's matter and he didn't interrupt.
Yan Xu was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Then what position do you think your uncle is qualified for?"
The aunt smiled and said: "These are all members of our own family. Your dear uncle, according to me, you can't treat your family members badly no matter what, right? You should be able to be a leader, right?"
Tang Shi sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. This mouth was really wide open.
Now there are millions of people in Xiacheng, divided into several districts. Each district has a district chief and deputy district chief, and below it there are also ministers, department directors, division directors and other positions of various departments. These important positions are in At this critical moment when a political power is first established, the people chosen are very important.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that the second uncle has been the commander-in-chief for several years. Now Yanxu has not said why he left the district chief of a certain district to the second uncle because he is his own second uncle. Now the second uncle only When he was the military commander of a district in Xiacheng, the third uncle even failed to get the position of military commander. Although he was an official, he was not the top one.
If it was the original Yanlai City, the entire Yanlai City belonged to the Yan family. No matter whether the second uncle and the third uncle were capable or not, they would have to shoulder the military power of the entire Yanlai City. Now that they have come to the new world, several people have gathered together. The land is concentrated, and there are all kinds of talents in it. There are so many people who can be used. After such a row, of course the capable people will occupy it. It makes no sense because Yanxu is the head of state, and Yan family members must be placed in every important position. , Xia Cheng is not from his Yan family, how can he do whatever he wants
What's more, even if Xia Cheng belongs to the Yan family, with Yan Xu's temperament, he can't even think about having this "back door" to find a job in his position. In Yan Xu's eyes, Xia Cheng comes first, and his family comes second. He would not agree to anything that was detrimental to Xia Cheng.
Tang Shi was right. Yan Xu had a formulaic smile on his face and said, "In this case, let my eldest uncle take part in the assessment the next time there is a change in official personnel."
"You still need to take the test? He is your eldest uncle..." The aunt said it without thinking.
But the eldest uncle understood what Yanxu meant, and stretched out his hand to pull the aunt, trying to stop her but it was too late, letting her say these words. The formulaic smile on Yanxu's face could not be maintained, it was not salty. He asked nonchalantly, "Auntie, do you think that if I become the head of state, the entire Xia City will belong to our Yan family? You can just install anyone you want?"
The aunt was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
My sister-in-law rushed to the rescue. Although she also had this idea, it was obviously not the time to talk about this topic at this moment.
She wisely waved to the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa. The woman stood up awkwardly, walked to her sister-in-law, and lowered her head shyly.
"Xiao Xu, let me introduce you. This is the Kang Xue I told you before. She has never found anyone. Yi Xin..."
"Grandpa." Yanxu didn't even look at his sister-in-law, let alone the woman. He turned directly to the old man at the head, "The position of head of state is not hereditary, and I am not the only one who can serve as the head of state in the entire Xia City. When I take up this position, At that time, I actually felt very guilty inside, and I could only do everything I did conscientiously every day in order to be worthy of this position."
"The person who really saved the entire human race was not me, but Tang Shi beside me. He has been standing silently behind me. Everything that exists now is what Tang Shi brought to everyone. The position of head of state in Xia City is the most important to Tang Shi. I am qualified to hold the position. You should also know why I am the head of state now. Since I have taken over this position, I will be responsible for the entire Xiacheng. If I am no longer qualified for the position of head of state, I will take the initiative to hand over the position. Submit your resignation.”
The living room fell into dead silence.
Yanxu held Tang Shi's hand and bowed to the old man, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I still have a lot of official business to deal with. I won't be eating at home today. I'll come back to accompany you another day when I have time."
After Yan Xu said this, he led Tang Shi out, took the two cloaks from the servant's hands, lifted the curtain and went out.
No matter how heavy the wind and snow were outside, he didn't want to stay in a home like this and had to leave.
Yanxu knew very well why he could become the head of state. If the Yan family hadn't spread the word when he was in Yidang and made a lot of push behind the scenes, the position of head of state at this moment would have belonged to Tang Shi. .
The Jin family has prepared so much for Tang Shi, and everything is settled. They only need to wait for Tang Shi to nod and agree, and then they can push him to the throne.
As an old member of the Jin Melin Council, his appeal is still very strong. The existing congressmen are basically from Jin Molin. What’s more, the power of the Jin family has always been very secretive. Being secretive does not mean that it is weak. On the contrary, the power of the Jin family is It's huge. If you want to see it on the bright side, even the Yan family may not be able to compete with it. After all, after planning for so many years, there may be a Jin family in any impossible dark corner.
But such a big family has always kept a low profile. They only followed Tang Shi. As long as Tang Shi wanted this position, he could get it easily. However, the Yan family secretly made such a move at that time, directly telling Tang Shi and the Jin family that the Yan family intended to push Yan Xu to the position of head of state. With Tang Shi's temperament, it was absolutely impossible for him to fight with Yan Xu. Fighting for that position, that's why it was so easy for Yanxu to take the position of head of state. He encountered almost no obstacles. Originally, the senior officials of Shuanghua City all recognized him with tacit approval.
In Yanxu's heart, let alone the Yan family coming to fight for it, even if he really pushed the position of head of state to Tang Shi, Tang Shi would not want it. With his character, he would never be willing to work as a coolie for Xia Cheng for free. The Yan family Why bother to fight
This thing that the Yan family did was ugly. Even if Yan Xu knew the inside story, he would not reveal it. Unexpectedly, he would see such a scene again in the Yan family today. It was really more embarrassing than slapping Yan Xu several times. He was embarrassed, so he couldn't help saying those words, and directly told everyone present that since he was the head of state, every decision he made must be responsible to Xia Cheng. If he wanted to use his position to facilitate the Yan family's Welfare, then he would resign without hesitation. This was not his original intention in taking this position.
Yanxu held Tang Shi's hand tightly. He didn't ride on the mount. He just held Tang Shi's hand and walked quickly through the university. He didn't stop until he was completely out of the Yan family's range and exhaled. Silently, the two mounts followed them slowly, "I'm sorry..." The Yan family did such a thing, which made Yan Xu feel unable to hold his head up in front of Tang Shi.
Yanxu was in a bad mood. Tang Shi could feel it. He held Yanxu's hand with both hands and rubbed it hard. "Don't think too much. Just do what you should do. You're right."
"This position should have been yours..."
"Don't say such things. I'm not suitable for this position, and I don't want to take on this heavy responsibility. I'm actually very pleased that you can take on the heavy responsibility of reviving Xia City at this time. You will definitely do better than me. I believe in you. "Although Yanxu never revealed this matter, Tang Shi knew what Yanxu was thinking, and he didn't want Yanxu to have such a burden.
Yanxu raised his hand, wrapped the person into his arms, hugged the person tightly, and stood in the wind and snow.
Tang Shi patted his back and said, "Don't think too much. Let's go back. Uncle Guo should have prepared food for lunch. You can heat it up before eating."
"Yeah." Yanxu didn't let go of him. The two of them were wrapped in a big cloak together and climbed on the back of the red-winged dragon. They didn't let it fly, but slowly walked forward on the snow. That's it. Walk back slowly.
