Siheyuan: Domineering life

study.

Yang Jun sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a cigarette in his mouth, and he sat there calmly, looking as calm as a still pond.

Li Tiezhu stood straight with his hands clasped around his trouser seams, standing at attention in front of Yang Jun like a soldier.

At this moment, Li Gangtou had completely lost his previous arrogant and domineering look. He now stood there like a primary school student who had made a mistake, waiting for Yang Jun's scolding.

Yang Jun smoked calmly without even looking at him.

Li Tiezhu's current status is all due to his own efforts, and he has no regrets about it at all.

This scene lasted for about half an hour. Li Tiezhu could no longer stand and his body kept swaying.

"Lao Yang, I came to see you several times, why don't you see me?"

Li Tiezhu asked cautiously, hoping to open the chat in this way.

"Why shouldn't I see you? Don't you have any idea?" Yang Jun raised his eyebrows.

After saying that, he threw the empty cigarette in his hand directly into the ashtray, then took out another one and lit it.

He has a habit of never lighting up the last cigarette he smoked. He lights up every cigarette he smokes. He feels that this is the only way to have a sense of ritual. Those who light up the last cigarette they smoke always give people the impression of being stingy, having no vision or grace.

At this time, Li Tiezhu was just like a superior and a subordinate, and he was not as easy-going as his old comrades in the past.

"Old Yang, I'm really in trouble this time. Please help me this time." Li Tiezhu said with a bitter face.

"If you don't help me, I won't be able to get through this."

"For the sake of our past friendship, please help me this time."

No matter how Li Tiezhu begged, Yang Jun remained calm and unmoved.

"feelings?"

Yang Jun looked at him with raised eyebrows, then laughed and said, "When you treated my words as fart, did you ever show any mercy?"

"I've told you more than once, don't touch what you shouldn't touch, especially when it comes to money, but you just don't listen."

"Now that something's happened, you think of me?"

"What am I? I'm a trash can, here to wipe your butts?"

Yang Jun waved his hands and said coldly: "Since something has happened, you should bear it yourself. Don't drag me down with it."

Li Tiezhu didn't expect that Yang Jun would reject him so ruthlessly, and he was also very shocked.

Although this result was expected, he still felt incredible when he heard Yang Jun's words of rejection. Yang Jun had not seen him for the past few days, and he already knew Yang Jun's attitude, but... Yang Jun was his only savior. If Yang Jun took action, he would definitely be able to overcome this difficulty.

"Lao Yang."

Li Tiezhu didn't know if he had been standing for too long, so he just squatted on the ground, held his head with both hands, and desperately tore his hair.

"Can't you save me one more time?"

"You saved me once on the battlefield. Please save me again this time."

"I promise this is the last time. As long as I can survive this time, I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."

Yang Jun snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I knew you would bring up what happened back then."

Yang Jun leaned forward, looked at Li Tiezhu who was squatting on the ground, and asked: "Li Tiezhu, do you think I owe you something? Why do I always save you?"

"Is this how you repay your savior?"

Although Yang Jun was calm, he couldn't help getting angry when he saw Li Tiezhu was so disappointing, and his voice naturally became much louder.

"I've told you time and again not to do anything, but you didn't listen. Now that you've done something, you've remembered me again. What were you doing before?"

After saying that, Yang Jun leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "We are all adults and must be responsible for what we have done. I have no right to interfere in your affairs."

"Old Yang, please let me ask you, okay?"

Li Tiezhu suddenly changed from squatting to kneeling, kneeling on the ground with his knees and slightly lowering his head.

Seeing this, Yang Jun didn't pull him up, but just sat there quietly.

To be honest, he was very unhappy with Li Tiezhu's current behavior.

In his eyes, officials who are greedy for money are the lowest class of people. Who among the truly capable people would care about those material things?

During all the years he served as an official, he never touched a single cent of public money. Even when he was on business trips, he paid for them out of his own pocket and basically did not ask for reimbursement. He was very confident in this regard. He believed that as a man of integrity, he had nothing to fear and no one could find fault with him.

However, the officialdom is not like this. It does not mean that no one can mess with you if you are clean and honest. Just because you are invulnerable in economics does not mean that you have no weaknesses in other areas.

To him, Li Tiezhu's matter was not a big deal at all and he could settle it with just a few words. However, he did not want to do that. Over the years, he had been too lenient and indulgent towards his subordinates, so that they had lost awe in their hearts and turned a deaf ear to what he said. This time, I want to use Li Tiezhu's matter to show my attitude to my subordinates. He will not cover up even if it is one of his own people, in order to achieve a deterrent effect.

Li Tiezhu holds a high position and has great power. It was not easy for him to get to where he is today. Yang Jun also put a lot of thought into promoting him. It is undeniable that Li Tiezhu is Yang Jun's helper and has played a lot of roles in his career.

Help is just help, just one of them, not as important as the left and right arms. Just like a towering tree, Li Tiezhu is just one of the thousands of leaves on Yang Jun's tree. There is nothing that cannot be abandoned.

A big tree cannot be supported by just one or two leaves. There are also countless roots and branches, as well as watering and fertilizing. Li Tiezhu's leaf is just an insignificant one among them, so it can be discarded.

As for the life and death of comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, Yang Jun could only laugh.

After the age of forty, there is nothing in this world that can cause doubt.

The life-and-death sentiment he felt back then now seemed like nothing more than a passionate sense of righteousness, not worth mentioning in the face of huge interests.

Li Tiezhu left with disappointment.

It goes without saying what fate awaits him.

The next day, Ji Demin came.

When he heard the servant report, he guessed that it must be about Li Tiezhu.

Yang Jun didn't want to see him at first, but finally decided to meet him and talk things out, so as to avoid leaving an unjust reputation in front of his comrades.

The meeting place is in the glass house by the river.

When the two met, they just looked at each other, and then sat there without saying a word.

Yang Jun lit a cigarette and threw the cigarette and the matches directly to him.

Ji Demin didn't act pretentiously. He lit a cigarette and threw the cigarette box on the low table in front of him.

After smoking half a cigarette, Ji Demin finally spoke.

"I know there are some things I shouldn't say, and I can't advise, but..."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Late last night, Gangtou came to me, crying and begging me to come to you to plead for mercy... I..."

"I...hey!"

Ji Demin sighed and continued, "Logically speaking, I naturally hope that you can help him, but I know... you won't do that."

"These days, these guys have become more and more lawless. It's time to teach them a lesson."

When he was done, he sighed and said, "Whatever decision you make, I support you."

Yang Jun was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Old Ji, thank you for your understanding. You are the only one who can understand why I did this."

Ji Demin: "Xiao Yang, don't worry, I will take care of the brothers. Don't worry. I believe they will understand your good intentions."

"We can only blame the leader for being greedy."

Yang Jun didn't say anything and just smoked silently.

We are all adults and naturally have our own interests to consider. Until faced with a life-and-death test, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to stand up for justice.

Of course, this is not a matter of being righteous or not. In the eyes of adults, the so-called loyalty and righteousness are nonsense. Only interests are the eternal king.

He’s not my biological son, so who would risk catching a cold for someone else?
"Okay, I'm done talking, I'm going back."

Ji Demin put out his cigarette, stood up and said, "Are you not staying for a drink?" Yang Jun looked at him in surprise.

"Drink what?"

Ji Demin sighed and said, "I've already said everything, why are you still drinking?"

"That's fine. If you don't want to drink, I'll take you there."

After saying that, he stood up to see him off.

"You're awake, lie down quickly."

Ji Demin signaled him not to move, then patted his butt and walked out of the glass room.

Yang Jun waved his hand and Sun Zhaocai immediately went out to see him off.

After he left, the stone in Yang Jun's heart loosened a little. At least he could breathe a sigh of relief and was not as depressed as before.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, Luo Xiaojun came.

"Uncle Master."

Luo Xiaojun shouted.

Yang Jun waved his hand and pointed to the small bench beside him, motioning him to sit down and talk.

"I have figured out what you asked me to investigate."

Luo Xiaojun pulled out a notebook from his briefcase, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Li Tiezhu embezzled a total of 1.37 billion. Although he tried hard to make up for the shortfall, he was still short of 530 million in the end. The above..."

Yang Jun waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking.

"Don't say any more, these are not important anymore."

"Tell them about it..."

Having said this, Yang Jun suddenly kept silent, and Luo Xiaojun sat there waiting for his instructions.

"Tell them the truth... Save the first person's life, that's all."

"Yes, uncle."

Luo Xiaojun seemed surprised by Yang Jun's decision, but also expected it.

Yang Jun finally took action out of brotherhood and did not let Li Gangtou fall directly into the quagmire.

Luo Xiaojun was quite pleased with Yang Jun's decision. After all, everyone wanted to follow a loyal and righteous master. If Yang Jun really put the interests of the country above his own, and did not care about anything else, he might be somewhat disappointed.

"Let Qin Jingru and the children hide in a suburban manor first, and wait until this storm is over before we talk about it." Yang Jun continued.

"Yes, Uncle Master, I will arrange it right away."

After that, Yang Jun closed his eyes and lay there without saying anything.

When Luo Xiaojun saw this, he knew that Yang Jun was going to kick him out, but he still decided to finish reporting what he needed to report.

"Uncle Master, Xiaoliu has been discharged from the hospital, but..."

Having said that, Luo Xiaojun glanced at Yang Jun's expression and decided whether to continue.

"Will she continue to challenge the no-man's land?" Yang Jun said with his eyes closed.

“You…are amazing.”

Luo Xiaojun looked at Yang Jun in surprise, thinking that Yang Jun was so awesome for being able to see through people's hearts.

"Yes, just as you said, the first thing Xiaoliu did after he was discharged from the hospital was to instruct the team to prepare supplies and equipment again, and decided to continue crossing the Altun No Man's Land in three days."

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly.

How can you not understand your own daughter?

Who can escape fate?

A person's character, knowledge, temper, vision, etc. determine his or her life. Adventure is Yang Chengliu's character. She has been either taking risks or on the way to taking risks all her life. This is her destiny.

"But... Xiaowu decided to accompany Xiaoliu to cross the no-man's land." Luo Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, but still told the story.

"Rebel!"

When Yang Jun heard this, he became furious.

Yang Chengliu is enough to worry about for him, and now Xiao Wu is also causing him trouble.

After hearing that Master Yang Chengwu and Xiaoliu were crossing the no-man's land together, Yang Jun could no longer lie still and remain calm.

He stood up, pointed at Luo Xiaojun and said, "Order him to come back here, otherwise I will no longer have him as my son."

"Yes."

As soon as he heard the word "command", he knew that Yang Jun was really angry. Luo Xiaojun could no longer sit still and stood up straight.

Seeing this, Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go now. You guys are causing me a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Luo Xiaojun smiled.

Yang Jun is like this. The more fiercely he scolds, the better he treats that person. If he ignores you and still talks to you with a good face, it means that you are nothing to him.

"Uncle Master, if you have no other instructions, I'll leave first." Miss Luo said with a smile.

"roll roll roll!"

Upon seeing this, Luo Xiaojun quickly packed up his notebook, clasped his bag and ran away.

"Master's wife."

Just before leaving, Luo Xiaojun met Yi Qiu Shui.

"Xiaojun, have you finished talking with your uncle-master?" Yi Qiu Shui greeted with a smile.

"We're done talking. My uncle told me to get out."

"Okay, you... go ahead."

Yi Qiu Shui also wanted to make a joke, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Seeing Yi Qiu Shui coming, Sun Zhaocai and Sha Zhu tactfully left the glass house.

"Is something wrong?"

Yang Jun sat on a rattan chair and poured her a glass of water.

"Can't I come to see you if I'm fine?"

Yi Qiu Shui took the tea, took a sip, then sat there looking at Yang Jun elegantly.

Seeing Yi Qiu Shui looking at him like that, Yang Jun felt uneasy.

"Don't say you're greedy for my body. I... have a very busy schedule lately."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui waved her little fist to hit him, but then let it go in mid-air.

"Look at what you have done. It's like you want to kill me."

After a slight pause, he continued, "It's not me who is greedy for your body, it's Cheng Lan."

When Yang Jun heard this, he looked at her in astonishment.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know Cheng Lan is..."

"Look, why are you so anxious?"

Seeing Yang Jun getting anxious, Yi Qiushui quickly explained, "Didn't I do a prenatal checkup for Qingmeng Nini and the others a few days ago? I also had the children do it. The checkup revealed that Chenglan had diabetes. I took the child to the hospital for a special checkup and confirmed that it was diabetes. The doctor recommended insulin injections."

"I was thinking... don't you have a special medicine? Maybe it can cure her disease." (End of this chapter)
