Come to the study, Tang Xiangming and Li Xiuping are some nervous looking at the old man. Tang Xiangming is better. After all, the Tang family is also one of the aristocratic families in the capital. Although he has not met the old man alone, he also has some contact with the high-level people, which is a bit of exercise.

But Li Xiuping is more nervous. He was born in the grass roots. Let alone meeting the old man, even meeting song Yinian can make him nervous for a long time. In addition, he didn't recognize the old man at noon, which made him feel a little suspense.

"Sit down. Don't be stiff." The old man sat down in the study and pointed to the position beside him.

Two people gently nodded, and then carefully sat down in front of the old man, that look, seems to be afraid to make any noise out.

Although the old man let them not be formal, how could they be informal in front of the old man? Tang Xiangming estimated that even his father would be a little formal in front of the old man.

Looking at their formal appearance, the old man couldn't help smiling and said, "Why are you so nervous? Can I eat you as an old man? Don't worry. I'm not criticizing you. I'm just explaining something to you. "

"Go ahead, chief!" They sat up straight, ready to meet the old man's instruction.

"I think you're getting along well with the Xu family, aren't you?" The old man asked with a smile.

Although I don't know why the old man asked, Tang Xiangming nodded gently. In front of the old man, he did not dare to hide the slightest, because it is useless to hide. If the old man wants to check, these things can be easily found.

"You dealt with that very well." The old man said with a smile: "I believe you have heard a lot about Xu Shaotang. Xu Shaotang is no more important than before. I won't talk about his importance to the country in detail. Xu Shaotang is often not in Tianhai, so you must ensure the safety of Xu's family. "

Hearing the old man's instructions, Li Xiuping said with a bitter smile: "this chief doesn't have to worry. Xu Shaotang himself takes the safety of the Xu family very seriously and arranges for someone to protect the safety of the Xu family here at any time. To be honest, our people are not as good as those arranged by Xu Shaotang himself. "

Li Xiuping is very clear about the skills of the people Xu Shaotang arranged to protect Xu's family in Tianhai. He believes that all the police officers of Tianhai Municipal Bureau can't help these people without using weapons of mass destruction.

Therefore, he felt that it was unnecessary for them to send someone to protect the Xu family. Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart. In front of the old man, he did not dare to say it.

"No!" The old man shook his head slightly and said, "I'm very clear about the skills of those people under Xu Shaotang. Although Xu Shaotang has his own staff, you should also arrange people to protect him."

Tang Xiangming and Li Xiuping have a look at each other, and their eyes are full of doubts. Since the old man knows the strength of Xu Shaotang's men, why should he let them arrange people to protect Xu's family? Isn't it a waste of police force?

"I don't understand why I asked you to arrange for someone to come here?" Seeing their doubts, the old man said with a smile, "on the surface, it's for you to arrange people to protect the Xu family. In fact, it's for you to send people to monitor the Xu family!"

"Monitoring the Xu family?" Tang Xiangming and Li Xiuping had more doubts in their eyes and asked, "why do we want to monitor the Xu family? Although Xu Shaotang is eccentric and unconventional, on the whole, he is still on our side. What's more, Xu Shaotang's temper has never been very good. If we monitor the Xu family like this, it is likely to cause his dissatisfaction. "

"Oh, no!" The old man shook his head and said, "Xu Shaotang is a smart man. He knows why I have to arrange someone to watch the Xu family. As long as he has no ghost in his heart, he will not have any opinions. However, although you are monitoring, you are not allowed to pry into the privacy of the Xu family. "

"I still don't understand why we want to spy on the Xu family." Tang Xiangming puzzled said.

"Because I'm afraid of another Xia Jiuli!" The old man said quietly: "as long as you send someone over, Xu Shaotang will understand what I mean. You don't have to worry about Xu Shaotang. I will tell him about it later."

The old man doesn't intend to hide this from Xu Shaotang, even if it's useless. As long as Li Xiuping and they send someone over, Xu Shaotang will know his intention.

Listening to the old man's words, Tang Xiangming and Li Xiuping finally understood the old man's difficulties. Tang Xiangming sighed slightly: "I hope Xu Shaotang can understand your pains. I'm afraid Xu Shaotang doesn't understand. He thinks we really want to watch him."

"As far as Xu Shaotang is concerned, he will understand." "As far as I know, Xu Shaotang is not interested in the fight for rights, and he has no ambition of his own," he said, tapping on the table. Although we are monitoring him, as long as we don't disturb the life of him and his family, he won't have any opinions. "

"Well, we believe that Xu Shaotang has no ambition." Tang Xiangming smiles and says to the old man, "I'd better go and tell Xu Shaotang. In case Xu Shaotang has an opinion, you will mediate behind him."He knows in his heart that the person who tells Xu Shaotang about it will play the role of villain. Since the chief has decided to do so, let him play the role of villain.

The old man looked up at Tang Xiangming, thought about it, shook his head slightly and said, "your consideration is quite comprehensive, but none of you can say it. Only I can say it."

Although the old man also felt that it was a bit like a villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman, they had to do so in the face of national interests. If Xu Shaotang knew right and wrong, he should be able to understand the difficulties of these people.

"What instructions does the chief have for our work?" After deciding what to do with the Xu family, Tang Xiangming asked again.

The old man said with a smile, "I have nothing to say about your work. You have been doing well. The future belongs to you young people."

Although Tang Xiangming and Li Xiuping are both in their 40s, they are really young people in front of the old man.

"Thank you for your affirmation. We will do better in the future."

The old man and Tang Xiangming talked about coming downstairs very late. At this time, Fang Lan's carefully prepared meal had been hot several times.
