Chapter 65 - Bro

"Thank you, Old Secretary, for understanding." Xiao Yi squinted, with a calm expression on his face, he spoke with a calm tone.

Old Secretary stopped laughing and looked up and down at Xiao Yi again. Then, he slowly said, "It is indeed a good seedling. I seem to really like it." "However, if you don't join the government, I'm afraid that this old fogey won't be able to help you at all."

Xiao Yi felt Old Secretary's good intentions and his heart warmed. He smiled humbly and said, "It's alright, I'll walk a good path that belongs to me alone."

Old Secretary saw that Xiao Yi was full of confidence when he said this. He suddenly froze, as if he had seen the high-spirited him all those years ago.

After pondering for a while, Old Secretary Zhang Weimin suddenly opened the chess set on the table, and said loudly to Xiao Yi: "I think I know this thing. Come on, play with me, the old man. It has been a long time since anyone is willing to play with this old man. "

"It's better to obey than to be respectful."

Xiao Yi laughed and then sat down opposite of Old Secretary.

Xiao Yi would often accompany his unscrupulous master when they were on the mountain playing chess. Therefore, when Old Secretary took out this chess piece, Xiao Yi felt extremely familiar with it.

After placing down the red and black chess pieces, Xiao Yi and Old Secretary began to fight on the chess board in every direction.

In the room, a dim light shone on the two of them. Their two faces slowly turned serious. The chess piece on the chessboard landed heavily on the ground and began to emit popping sounds.

In a game of chess, everyone was killed. In the end, Old Secretary sighed, and slowly sighed: "Looks like I am powerless to reverse the situation. "The future of the Yangtze River is always ahead of us, but we are already old enough."

"Old Secretary admits it." Xiao Yi still had an unsatisfied expression as he lightly said.

"Again." Old Secretary's face surged with fighting intent, and said loudly.

Xiao Yi spread out his hands, and said straightforwardly: "Ok.

Moments later, the sound of chess flags landing on the chessboard once again rang out in the room.

Outside, the night was getting darker. Zhao Xing copied a few dishes and wine and stood at the door of Old Secretary's study. Hearing the sound of the flag landing on the chessboard in the room, he waited at the door for a while. The peanut that had just been fried had a faint white steam rising from it.

Three rounds of chess were immediately decided as a layer of cold sweat seeped out of Old Secretary Zhang Weimin's forehead. His pupils dilated as he stared intently at the chessboard. He sat up straight, his back looking like a pine tree facing the sky. His shriveled hands were clasped together, and he was panting heavily.

"You win." Secretary Zhang was stunned for a while, before he slowly spat out these three words.

"Admit it." Xiao Yi still said the same words, but the pride of a victor still did not rise from his face.

Old Secretary, however, continued to stare at the banner on the table and took a deep breath. Then, he suddenly pushed the chess board down to the ground.

Crash * The pieces on the chessboard fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Just as Xiao Yi was puzzled, Old Secretary suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud. Hot tears gushed out of his withered eyes.

"Today, you've really broadened my horizons." After a long while, Old Secretary stopped smiling, and looked at Xiao Yi as he spoke slowly: "Your spirit, has truly broadened my horizons. From the start, you had attacked without any preparation. To be honest, I didn't like your style at first. After all, I've always advocated both offense and defense. However, after three rounds, you have made me look at you in a new light. Your spirit, your indomitable spirit, has completely conquered me. "

Xiao Yi smiled lightly: "The best defense is offense, so I always only attack and not defense."

This was what the unscrupulous master Xiao Yi had told him from the first day. Right now, Xiao Yi already had this idea planted in his heart. Regardless of whether they were writing chess or fighting, Xiao Yi had always held this point of view. In the previous three rounds, Xiao Yi had used a huge technique and momentum to only attack but not defend.

"I have understood your point." Old Secretary Zhang Weimin solemnly nodded his head, and then continued: "If you want to hear, just die. Therefore, I have just overturned the board, which negates all aspects of my previous concept of both offense and defense. Very well, you've given me another dimension, another style of chess. Your youth, your sharpness, your sharpness, your sharpness … I truly admire them all. "

"Thank you, Old Secretary, for your praise." Xiao Yi did not have the slightest bit of spoiled heart because of the Old Secretary's praise.

Old Secretary looked at Xiao Yi who was calm and composed, the joy in his heart became even stronger. He stared at Xiao Yi for a while, then said word by word: "With your personality, it is indeed not suitable for you to be a political official. All of the officials needed the Eight Exquisite Heart. You are too sharp and suited to be a merchant. "

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and said in a clear voice: "I will not hide this from Old Secretary, I have this intention as well."

"Alright, alright." Old Secretary repeatedly nodded his head: "If I was thirty years younger, I would have accompanied you back to the ocean for business. It's just that I'm getting old. "Sigh, what a pity …"

"I'm fine." Xiao Yi smiled lightly, opened his mouth and comforted Old Secretary: "If Old Secretary truly appreciates me, then you can bet money on me. I will contribute, Old Secretary will contribute. "

Xiao Yi was not stupid, and taking advantage of the situation, he decided to drag Old Secretary into the water. If he really managed to pull down a Old Secretary to join his guild, then no matter what he did in the future, business would flourish.

Old Secretary saw through Xiao Yi's thoughts with a glance, and laughed: "You're still young, it's a good plan. I have a small shop in the city center in my early years, and I will give it to you as a copy. But that was all. In the future when you earn money, I won't ask for anything. I just need you to come over and play chess with me while I write. "

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, without a trace of dejection, he directly spoke: "Then, many thanks Old Secretary."

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhao Xing who was waiting outside heard no sounds of peng peng sounds coming from inside the room. Outside the door, he whispered, "The dishes are ready. Can I bring them in now?"

"Bring it in. It's the perfect time to have a drink."

The Old Secretary's voice was especially loud at this moment, revealing a trace of thick excitement and joy. It was as if he had discovered a superior calligraphy skill, and was feeling great joy from the bottom of his heart.

Immediately, Zhao Xing brought the dishes in one by one, and then served another bottle of the best red star pot head.

The dishes were not rich. There was a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of pickled radishes, and a plate of sliced sausages. It looked simple and crude. However, Old Secretary and Xiao Yi only had these few dishes and ate extremely happily. Occasionally, they would even clink their wine glasses together, and it was quite a lively scene.

Along the way, Old Secretary passionately made Zhao Xing fry another two plates of peanuts and carried them up. The two of them talked about chess, calligraphy, and official business. They were like two good friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"Xiao Yi, I'm slightly older than you. How about we become sworn brothers?" After placing down the last cup of wine, Old Secretary seemed to have gained some alcohol power, as she pulled on Xiao Yi's sleeves and said.

"How can this be?" Xiao Yi's face was filled with fear, wasn't this just messing up his seniority?

"What's wrong with it?" Old Secretary Zhang Weimin immediately looked slightly angry as he raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You can write anything you want. At this time, why are you being so pedantic? "

Xiao Yi was stunned, and didn't know what to do for a moment. didn't dare to agree for a while to be sworn brothers with an old Party Secretary who was revered by everyone and could become his grandfather.

However, Old Secretary Zhang Weimin impatiently shouted, "It is decided then. I'm a few years older than you, you can call me big brother from now on. I have the final say in this matter. "

Xiao Yi held up his pair of chopsticks, frozen in the air. Listening to the Old Secretary squaring off on their relationship, it was really quite shocking.

Zhao Xing, who was standing at the door and waiting for Old Secretary's orders, stared dumbfoundedly at the excited Old Secretary in the room. Zhao Xing had followed Old Secretary for so many years, but he had never seen him this excited. What was even more incomprehensible to him was that a highly respected Old Secretary would actually be called a brother to such a young Xiao Yi.

Just thinking about it caused Zhao Xing to feel dizzy. The empty plate in his hand finally fell to the ground with a thud, shattering into pieces.

If the people of River and Sea Politics knew that the two of them were brothers, they would definitely call the heavens unfair. Many young talents had prepared all kinds of rich and precious gifts and came to Old Secretary for a chance encounter. Now, Xiao Yi who had nothing in hand, had not prepared anything, but had received the Old Secretary's favor.

He even received great honor and became brothers with the Old Secretary. Once this matter was spread out, it would definitely spread like wildfire.

However, such was the coincidence between people. Without the slightest pretense, Xiao Yi, this time paying a visit to Old Secretary, received this kind of unparalleled honor.

"It's late at night. Bro, you should head back first. I have an old problem with high blood pressure and I can't drink very much. " Old Secretary looked at Xiao Yi, and said with a hint of drunkenness.

Xiao Yi looked at Old Secretary's radiant face looking at him. He gathered his courage and started to get used to the relationship between the two: "Big Brother, the God's invitation I wrote to you the other time, has Big Brother medicinal prescription tried yet? "That is indeed a good treatment for high blood pressure. It will definitely help Big Bro's body if you take it for a long time."

Old Secretary was surprised for a moment, and then asked: "Is the medicinal prescription really that useful? Brother, do you know anything about medicine? "

The Old Secretary had long since lost any hope in eating and treating his old illness. Seeing Xiao Yi's "An invitation from God", he had long been stunned by the flamboyant words. As for the medicinal formula, Old Secretary had not really scrutinized it yet. Now that Xiao Yi mentioned it, he remembered that it was a medicinal prescription.

Xiao Yi was confident in his medical skills and immediately nodded. "I do indeed understand medicine, and compared to writing, I am more knowledgeable and confident. Big Brother, you can give that medicinal prescription a try. "

Old Secretary had already acknowledged this brother's identity from the bottom of his heart, but towards his own brother, Old Secretary did not doubt his words at all. "Then, let me give it a try in two days, let me personally verify this brother's medical skills, is it really as mystical as calligraphy?"
