Zong Youwen is busy working in the kitchen, and four cold dishes are already on the dining table. It seems that he is quite skillful.

Seeing Su Le come in, Zong Youwen said, "Su Le, I'll put this fish in the pot right away."

Su Le came to see Zong Youwen cooking. From a professional perspective, Zong Youwen's level is still very amateur, but ordinary people cook like this. Su Le deliberately said: "Brother Youwen, I didn't expect that you have such a good cooking skills. I think your level is enough to participate in the cooking competition." He was intentional and took the opportunity to remind Zong Youwen about this.

Zong Youwen put the fish into the pot, covered the lid, picked up a towel and wiped his hands and said, "Just about to tell you about this, I told Secretary Liu that he said there is no problem. The Municipal Youth League Committee can come forward, but I will not be responsible for this."

Su Le was delighted. It seemed that Zong Youwen had made efforts to make this matter happen. There should be a reason for him to make it clear that he would not be responsible. Is he unwilling to let others figure out his relationship with the Su family because of this? Is this meant to draw a clear line? Su Le said: "I am not familiar with others?"

Zong Youwen smiled and said, "If I don't intervene, it doesn't mean I won't help. You may not understand many things in the system. This is related to political achievements. If I pay too much attention, others will think that I want to gain political weight through this event, which will not be beneficial to you in holding this event. I am out of the matter and let others take care of it. They will regard this political achievements as their own, so they will be more concerned.

Although Su Le didn't understand much about the matter in the officialdom, it should be reasonable for Zong Youwen to say this. He nodded and said, "But in this way, wouldn't you get any benefits from it?"

Zong Youwen smiled and said, "If I can help with our relationship, I will definitely help you. I have never thought about what benefits it will get from it." He laughed in his heart and said whatever he thought.

While the two were talking, Zong Youwen's two younger brothers actually came. It was the first time that Zong Youwu and I, Zong Youcheng, saw Su Le. I heard that Su Le was Su Donglai's son, and they showed quite enthusiastic. This shows that the relationship between the two families was indeed very good in the past.

Wang Fusheng prescribed the prescription for Zong Hanxiang. When he came out, he could see that the wine and food had already been served. Just waiting for him to arrive, the three brothers of the Zong family were also very polite to Wang Fusheng, because Zong Hanxiang had already agreed with his medical skills.

Zong Youwen greeted everyone and sat down, opened a bottle of Moutai and said, "We must not return without getting drunk tonight."

Because Su Le made a fool of himself last time drinking, he was particularly alert today. He got a pill from Wang Fusheng in advance and had some confidence in his heart. He thought to myself that I would put all three of you down tonight. Su Le said, "Uncle Zong is not here to eat?"

Zong Youwen shook his head and said, "He basically doesn't eat at night now."

Su Le had just asked Lao Mo to go to the door to eat a little. A few young people started drinking together. Because Su Le and Wang Fusheng were guests, the three brothers of the Zong family focused their firepower on them. After Su Le took the sucking pills given to him by Wang Fusheng, he found that he was drinking like drinking water. He didn't feel at all after half a pound of food. He didn't know if Wang Fusheng also took the sucking pills, but seeing that Wang Fusheng also drank a lot, he was silent as usual. This guy was either born with a large amount of medicine and served it on the table.

The three brothers of the Zong family were drinking in a real way. The three brothers could still drink well. They thought that the brothers were both together and they could easily get the two guests together. But in a flash, they drank three bottles of Maotai. The two of them didn’t feel drunk at all. Instead, Zong Youcheng was a little drunk. He was still in school and could not compare with the two brothers who worked hard in the officialdom and shopping malls. He frequently attacked and charged forward, so he was the one who drank the most. As soon as he got drunk, he started to stop talking. For some reason, he mentioned the marriage between his elder brother Zong Youwen and Su Mingyue. He sighed and said, “I said Su Le. What is the situation of your sister? What’s wrong with my elder brother? Why didn’t she want to marry my elder brother?”

Only Zong Youwen and his father knew the true story of the termination of the marriage contract between Zong Youwen and Su Mingyue. Even his two brothers did not know the specific situation, so Zong Youcheng asked this question. He usually dared not say such words, that is, today he used some alcohol to tell the things he had been holding in his heart for a long time.

When Zong Youwen heard him say this, his face darkened and said, "Youcheng, what are you talking about?"

Zong Youcheng is the kind of person who is extremely brave after drinking: "Brother, I have been holding on to this for a long time, why can't I say that you are not worthy of Su Mingyue regardless of family or personal conditions? Why did she kick you off?"

Zong Youwen was so angry that he almost threw wine on him. Zong Youwu pulled his third brother to persuade him to leave, but Zong Youcheng refused to forgive him: "I'm very angry about this matter, I have to talk about it today." Zong Youwen said angrily: "I'll talk nonsense again, I'll suck you!"

Su Le smiled faintly, put down the wine glass and said, "Brother Youwen, forget it, Brother Youcheng has drunk too much, it's all his own people, it doesn't matter." From Zong Youcheng's words, we can see that Zong did not tell the truth about his contact with Su Mingyue's engagement, nor did he slander Su Mingyue's words and deeds, otherwise Zong Youcheng would not say that.

Zong Youcheng said with his eyes straight: "Who is your own family? I know that your Su family is rich and rich. I think our old man has retired, no real power, and he looks down on others..."

Zong Youwen rushed up like an angry lion and was about to hit Zong Youcheng. Su Le had been wary of him and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Brother Youwen, don't!"

Zong Youwu finally pulled Zong Youcheng upstairs.

Zong Youwen said with shame: "I'm sorry, I'm rude today."

Su Le said: "It's nothing, Brother Youwen, it's really nothing. Who doesn't drink too much? When I drink too much, I can make trouble more than Brother Youcheng." Seeing that things are so chaotic, Su Le certainly couldn't continue to stay here. He stood up and said goodbye. Seeing that Zong Hanxiang's door was closed, he gave up the idea of ​​saying goodbye to him in person.

After Su Le and Wang Fusheng left the Zong family, Zong Youwen was about to go to discuss with his third brother, but saw his father's door slowly opening, and the old man appeared in front of the door with a pale face.

Zong Youwen hurried over: "Dad, you haven't had a rest yet?"

Zong Hanxiang said coldly: "You are notorious and quarrel outside, how can I rest?"

Zong Youwen immediately understood what happened just now and his father must have heard clearly. He apologized: "I'm sorry, Dad, I've disturbed you."

Zong Hanxiang said: "Come in!"

Zong Youwen pushed his father into the room.

Zong Hanxiang said: "Su Le came here today and gave me such a big gift. Is the purpose of asking you to help promote the cooking competition?"

Zong Youwen said: "He is still young and doesn't have that deep scheming." He has always had a good impression of Su Le.

Zong Hanxiang said: "Ganluo was appointed as prime minister at the age of twelve, and Zhou Yu became the governor of the Eastern Wu at the 24th. Don't underestimate him because of his age."

Zong Youwen said: "He should not have any malice towards us."

Zong Hanxiang said, "I thought that after Donglai died, the Su family would probably collapse, but these days passed, and the Su family not only did not have civil strife, but instead became stable." He glanced at his son and said meaningfully: "This is not just Sang Hongxiu's credit, Su Le is not simple in his mind."

Zong Youwen didn't say anything, pushed his father's wheelchair forward a few steps and helped him to the floor-to-ceiling window. The more he was unable to move, the more he yearned for freedom. Zong Hanxiang's favorite thing now is to look at the grass and trees outside.

Zong Hanxiang said: "Although it is a cooking competition, it is the first step for the Su family to improve their public image and regain their reputation."

Zong Youwen said: "Dad, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing."

Zong Hanxiang shook his head slowly and said, "Why did I insist that you withdraw from this marriage from the Su family? It's not because I'm snob, but because I want to ensure that our family is away from a storm as much as possible."

Zong Youwen frowned. He still couldn't understand his father's words thoroughly and whispered: "Are you saying someone is going to deal with the Su family?"

Zong Hanxiang sighed, neither saying yes nor saying no.

Zong Youwen said: "Since Sang Hongxiu still supports Su Le, it proves that the Sang family's attitude towards the Su family has not changed. With the Sang family's political status, it can help the Su family solve many problems."

Zong Hanxiang looked out the window quietly, and seemed not to hear his son's analysis. He was silent for about a minute before he said, "Have you ever thought about what if the Sang family was the one who had the accident?"

Zong Youwen's eyes showed a shocked light, and his hands subconsciously grabbed the handle behind the wheelchair. His father's political cultivation was extremely profound. In his decades of political career, he had seen changes and ebbs and flows. His foresight was beyond doubt.

Zong Hanxiang said: "The tree falls and the money scatters. This tree is definitely not Su Donglai. Son. Maybe you have never had the hope of becoming a high-level member in your life, but I don't regret it. What I hope most is that you are safe. The trees will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. The words left by our ancestors must make sense."

Zong Youwen said: "Dad, I have agreed to Su Le."

Zong Hanxiang said: "This matter is not important. Your attitude is the most important. I can see that you still like that girl in your heart."

Zongyouwen lowered his head and knew that his father was better than his father. His father had a deep understanding of himself.

Zong Hanxiang said: "Who can be ruthless is not a person? I don't blame you, but feelings and family must always choose the same. As the incompetent third brother said, I no longer have real power. Only when I am old will you understand that peace is a blessing.
