Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 424 When faced with two evils, choose the lesser.

Upon hearing this, Ximen Lang turned around.

As expected, the person who came was indeed the busy Lao Luo, and Ximen Lang immediately perked up.

"Isn't this absolutely necessary? I told you long ago, now I'm a real landlord, a rich man! This little scene is nothing to me!"

"But you, Lao Luo, what's going on? What have you been busy with? It's so late, I already had Ling'er and the others call you."

Luo was about to explain.

With a wave of his hand, Ximen Lang continued.

"That makes sense, after all, that's your position. So many people are waiting for you to assign them work every day, and so many things are waiting for you, the big boss, to handle them. It's normal to be busy."

"Unlike me, I eat and drink as I please every day, and the day passes by comfortably. Although my official position is rather minor."

"But that depends on who you compare me to! Compared to you guys, I'm definitely just a nobody. But what can I do? I'm easygoing, and that's enough!"

"Anyway, I didn't expect to achieve anything great. This is enough, this is enough. I won't be picky anymore!"

Of course, the main reason is that their contributions were substantial!
Take Hao Pingchuan for example. Why was he able to outmaneuver the newcomer Gao Cheng and become the battalion commander of the guard battalion?

Isn't it because he is a true hero who fought his way out of piles of corpses on the battlefield?

His contributions are undeniable, so Ximen Lang isn't envious at all that he can hold such a high position at such a young age.

As for Bai Ling
That makes it even easier to explain!

Her status as an outstanding graduate of Moscow Central University alone is enough to pave the way for her meteoric rise in her career!

In addition, she has solved so many cases since she started working, always being at the forefront.
If she doesn't get promoted, who will?
On the contrary, Ximen Lang would have a problem if she didn't get promoted!

As for whether Ximen Lang would feel uncomfortable being completely outshone by his wife,
"It's okay! I always manage to outdo her! Just wait until tonight, she'll see how powerful I am!"

With one person occupying one side during the day and the other during the night, Ximen Lang naturally didn't feel uncomfortable.

And then there's Lao Luo, who holds the highest position.
In short, they hold original shares!
The entire country and the entire nation were saved by him, who risked his life and shed his blood, braving gunfire and bullets!
Do you have a problem with that?!

Ximen Lang couldn't possibly have any complaints about Lao Luo, who always thought of him, took care of him, and sided with him.

In fact, the higher Lao Luo's position, the happier Ximen Lang was!
At that time, he would simply pull Lao Luo up to the city gate tower, stand there, and say a few words.

"Who dares to mess with us?!"

He can do whatever he wants in Beijing!
Therefore, there is no question of envy or not.

Ximen Lang was extremely satisfied with the current situation.

He really seems to lack ambition, which made Lao Luo unable to help but comment.
"If others had your advantages, they would want the whole world to be their own, but you... sigh, what can I say about you?"

However, the image of Ximen Lang as someone without ambition had long been ingrained in their minds, and given his current state, no one could persuade him otherwise.

What's the key?
The key is that having no great ambitions is really a good thing, the best thing ever.

On the contrary, he should demonstrate a strong drive and ambition.
They're the ones who should be having a headache!

So, I guess I'll just have no ambition.

Isn't it just that he likes to show off and make people go along with him?

As long as it doesn't violate regulations or principles, let him be. He completely gave up on treatment, and Lao Luo no longer had any intention of persuading Ximen Lang to improve himself.

This was exactly what Ximen Lang wanted.

Therefore, seeing that Lao Luo was finally no longer bothering her like a fly in her ear, and no longer trying to persuade her indirectly whenever they met.

Ximen Lang immediately picked up the bottle, insisting on having a drink with Lao Luo.

He gulped down the entire bottle of beer in one go.

Another bland X
"I'm telling you, I've trained, you know? If I really wanted to drink this beer as much as I wanted, I could drink it forever, you believe me?"

Bai Ling, who had witnessed him drunk twice before, rolled her eyes.

Ximen Lang then recounted to Lao Luo everything he had just discussed with Bai Ling, as well as his own speculations.

Then, it was Lao Luo's turn to be the one sitting on the candle.

It's true that Gao Cheng and his group got in through connections.
This will undoubtedly hurt Gao Cheng and his men's strong sense of self-esteem, dampen their enthusiasm, and lower their morale.

But if you don't admit it
Ximen Lang has already guessed this!

If they don't admit it, who knows if Ximen Lang will follow the clues again and uncover something even more outrageous?
He quickly glanced at Lao Luo as he took his seat, and then dared not laugh or joke anymore. Now, he was lying obediently at Ximen Lang's feet.

Its well-behaved appearance made Lao Luo want to treat it to a dog meat hot pot!
At the same time, the unintentional aura and sharp gaze made Da Huang even more obedient.

In the end, Lao Luo didn't make things difficult for Da Huang.

It's unlikely that they would go against Big Yellow.

When faced with two evils, Lao Luo, who already had the answer in his heart and believed that Gao Cheng was also prepared, gave Gao Cheng a subtle look.

I feel that at my age, I am indeed qualified to call him that, and I have the right to do so.

Having weighed the options in his mind, Lao Luo finally spoke.

“Nephew, stop just drinking and say a few words too.”

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to look at Lao Luo.

Seeing Lao Luo meant he had tacitly agreed.

Ximen Lang didn't know what the others were thinking, but he was quite happy.

There is no other reason.

This proves that his reasoning was correct!
See, it's a 100% hit rate!
"Now my reputation as a 'Sherlock Holmes' can finally be established, right? Let's see who dares to chatter on and say I'm bragging now! I'll just throw this in their face and see what they can say then!"

As for whether the matter of getting in through connections would make Ximen Lang feel uncomfortable...
"Are you kidding? This is our own nephew! A true family member! Since we're all family, what can I say? There's no way I could have a problem with my own nephew!"

This title puzzled Ximen Lang.

Call him nephew, Gao Cheng is old enough to be considered, and he just called him Old Gao.

But if I don't call him that, I'm from the same generation as Lao Luo.
After some more deliberation, I finally decided to do the same as Director Wang and Lao Luo.
“Let’s keep to ourselves. From now on, I’ll call you Lao Gao, and you can still call me Lang Ge’er. We’ll stick to our own things, it has nothing to do with Lao Luo! What do you think, nephew?”
