Two days later, at one o'clock in the afternoon, in a small garden behind the administrative hall.
Because it is late autumn, the flowers in the garden are beginning to turn yellow and there are quite a few fallen leaves in the garden.
Li Mingsheng was wearing a thick coat and walking among the flowers with Su Tianyu.
Taking a walk and exercising after lunch every day has become his unshakable habit.
Li Mingsheng walked for about ten minutes, and his forehead was slightly sweaty and his knees were a little stiff.
Su Tianyu observed the expression and pointed to the bench in front and asked sensibly, "Leader, do you want to sit down?"
Li Mingsheng was not stubborn: "Okay, let's take a break."
The two of them walked towards the bench, and Li Yuan quickly followed and spread the soft cushion on the wooden chair.
As a personal secretary, Li Yuan takes care of all aspects, both in terms of work ability and in taking care of Li Mingsheng's life.
At the same time, he was very careful and prepared a chair cushion for Su Tianyu.
"Thank you, Brother Li."
After Su Tianyu helped Lao Li sit down, he did not forget to thank Li Yuan.
After Li Mingsheng sat down, he rubbed his stiff knees and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm getting old... My legs and feet are not as good as before."
Su Tianyu smiled and said, "I have a capable man under my command. I'll ask him to make you some tonic wine later."
Li Mingsheng nodded slightly and asked about the business: "How are the preparations for going to the Chinese District going?"
"I've made a visiting list first, please take a look." Su Tianyu said, taking out the list of delegations going to the Chinese area from his bag and handing it over.
Li Mingsheng took it and flipped through it in his hand.
On the list, there were six or seven senior executives headed by Su Tianyu and Wang Changli. In addition, there was Su Tiannan and several Huatonghui executives.
On the military side, the leader is Xin Xiaodong. There are also some people from the An faction, mainly An Qiqi.
Dai Quan also went with some elite soldiers to take charge of the security of the entire delegation. The total number of people from the several parties was about 30 to 40.
Li Mingsheng put down the list and turned to look at Su Tianyu: "Zhao Weihu is not going, right?"
Su Tianyu explained softly, "Well, he definitely can't go. Sri Lanka can't do without him right now. Xin Xiaodong is quite suitable. Since he joined us, he has been in step with us in terms of ideology and has made outstanding contributions in his work. Brother Hu has also begun to train him and Lao Fei to take over the positions of second and third in command."
"Okay." Li Mingsheng nodded. "I think there's no problem. You should communicate well with them this time. But you must be sensible and be careful with your words, so as not to be caught by District 1."
Li Mingsheng paused, pounded his knee, and said, "Besides, we have now begun to integrate with Old Tan. When we do things, we must also consider the garrison and see if they will feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, I understand!" Su Tianyu understood all these things, but Lao Li emphasized them to him specifically, which was enough to show how much importance the old leader attached to this matter.
The two of them sat for a while, and the sunlight shining on their bodies made them feel much warmer.
After a short rest, they stood up and started walking again.
Li Mingsheng asked as they walked: "Have you set a time?"
"It's settled. I'm going to leave next Monday." Su Tianyu replied, "I still have some work to do, so I'll take care of it first."
Li Mingsheng patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, pay more attention. Walk more and see more this time."
Su Tianyu nodded slightly.
Li Mingsheng suddenly stopped and looked towards the east. He was silent for a while and sighed softly: "I haven't been back home for more than 30 years... You can be regarded as visiting my hometown for me. I have endured until now, and finally I can see some light at the end of the tunnel."
Su Tianyu stood by and looked at Li Mingsheng's lonely back, feeling quite sad.
In fact, he knew very well that although Lao Li and Lao An had different styles of doing things, they were both the ones who wanted to go home the most. Moreover, they were also the ones who had really worked hard for this matter for decades, so they were worthy of admiration.
"Leader, you've been out for too long. The weather is cold and it's not good for your health." Li Yuan walked over and reminded him softly.
"It's been so long." Li Mingsheng glanced at his watch, then smiled again. He said to Su Tianyu, "Okay, Xiaoyu, you don't have to accompany me anymore. Go and get busy. If there's anything, let me know in time."
"good."
The master and the disciple said goodbye, and Su Tianyu drove back to the Quantong Bureau.
…
At six o'clock in the evening, in the An family villa.
"Uncle An, the meal is ready." The little nanny prepared a table full of dishes, wiped her hands and walked over and said to An Zecheng.
"Okay." An Zecheng put down the book he was reading, walked towards the restaurant, and shouted upstairs, "Come down, eat."
An Qiqi pulled the doll and walked down first.
"It's already fully booked for lunch? They're too popular, let's go to another one, we can't waste time!"
Wawa was still holding the cell phone in her hand, communicating with someone about hotel matters.
At this time, An's mother also changed into pajamas and followed. Seeing the baby's appearance, she smiled and said, "Children nowadays are so busy getting married. When I married your father, it was very simple. I also got married without thinking much."
An Qiqi turned around and said to her mother with a smile: "Mom, times have changed! And my fiancé said that this time he must have a big celebration, so let's join in the fun."
Wawa hung up the phone, feeling a little embarrassed.
Mother An's eyes fell on the sparkling diamond ring on the baby's finger, and she couldn't help but teasing, "Tsk, tsk, this diamond ring is quite big. Xiao Tan is great, he is willing to spend money on you."
Baby blushed, walked over and took her aunt's arm, and said shyly: "Aunt, please don't laugh at me. I'm still confused and don't know how to do many things."
Mother An patted her hands gently and said, "There's nothing we can't do. They'll do it on the Tan side, and we'll do it on her side. My Yu family must marry off our daughter in a grand manner! Have you two arranged the ceremony?"
An Qiqi pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table, still joking: "Forget about the ceremony, the wedding photos are almost finished, and we haven't named the child yet."
Wawa came over and pinched her face: "Have you named the child? How about Su Laoqi?"
There were no outsiders in the room, and as it was a happy occasion, the two girls were very relaxed.
An's mother also sat at the table, looking at the ruddy baby, and suddenly sighed: "Alas, your job is booked, but your brother is really worrying, doing nothing every day... I heard that he is now working as a logistics engineer for someone else?"
An Qiqi smiled and said, "Now they are rich and idle people!"
Mother An glanced at her in annoyance: "I can see that you are idle, but I don't see where your wealth lies."
At this point, An's mother looked at the two girls and said earnestly, "You should also persuade her to remarry if she wants to live a good life and have a child. She is already so old, and our Yu family needs to carry on the family line!"
Wawa showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Yes, I have a brother!"
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at An Qiqi: "How about we go find him later? Let's chat and have an engagement party together, it will be so lively!"
An Qiqi nodded: "Okay, then..."
"We'll talk about it later." An Zecheng ordered: "For now, just eat your meal!"
"Okay!"
…
After dinner, An Qiqi and Wawa changed their clothes and took some guards to the town where Wen Xiaorou’s company was located.
