Chapter 1913 Hospitality

At the same time, inside the Xie family mansion, in a small building in the style of the Republic of China.

Xie Zhenqi's elder brother Xie Zhensheng was chatting with an octogenarian with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, I am really happy and surprised that you can return home after so many years."

Xie Zhensheng pointed to the small building and said, "This is where you once lived. It has remained the same to this day and has never changed... This was also my father's order."

The old man was naturally Xie Shengchen. He nodded gently, looked at the layout of the small building and said, "Brother is thoughtful, and you are thoughtful too."

"I originally wanted to stay in my brother's memorial hall for the rest of my life and never come out again, but the older I get, the more distracting thoughts I have. I always feel that I won't live long, and when I dream, I always think of some things from my youth. So after struggling for a while, I decided to come back and take a look."

Xie Zhensheng is also old, and he empathizes with this and said: "Life is short. My father passed away early. I didn't feel anything at that time. After all these years, I realized that life is a process, coming from where you came from and going to where you are going... I am very happy that my second uncle can come home. Why don't you stay here? This is your home."

Xie Shengchen smiled slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he pushed the door and walked into a room and said, "This is my study. My elder brother, some comrades and I used to play chess, drink tea, and talk about world affairs here. However, I was too young at that time, and I could never understand the chess moves made by my elder brother and his comrades. After all these years, I finally figured out some things."

"Here is a chessboard and chess pieces. Please play a game with me."

Xie Zhensheng nodded and said, "Okay, if Second Uncle is interested, I am willing to accompany you."

After they finished talking, they sat down next to the chessboard and started placing the chess pieces.

After making his move, Xie Shengchen said, "I saw Zhenqi was also at home, but he didn't come to see me. Maybe an important guest came to visit today?"

Xie Zhensheng smiled slightly: "I am just a junior, not really a distinguished guest."

Xie Shengchen asked, "What's the origin?"

Xie Zhensheng picked up the chess piece, took a step, and then said, "Father once said that if my second uncle asked about something twice, it meant that he cared about it very much."

Xie Shengchen laughed loudly: "Brother, you really teach your children well. You are no longer the young and naive person you were back then."

Xie Zhensheng, with gray hair, suddenly laughed. Time flies, so many years, so many things have happened, how could he still be stunned?

"Uncle, Liu Fusheng should have communicated with you about some things, right?"

Xie Zhensheng knew that Liu Fusheng had been to Marshal Xie’s memorial hall, so when Xie Shengchen and Liu Fusheng came to Xie’s house on the same day, he had some guesses.

Xie Shengchen did not hide it and said calmly: "A big part of the reason I went home today was for Liu Fusheng."

Xie Zhensheng was surprised. Since the completion of the Xie Marshal Memorial Hall, Xie Shengchen has not stepped out of it. This is his punishment for himself and also the rule he set for himself.

This Liu Fusheng actually made Xie Shengchen break the rules that had been followed for many years. What on earth is his ability?

Without waiting for Xie Zhensheng to ask, Xie Shengchen said, "Don't ask me the specific reason yet. I will tell you when the time comes."

Xie Zhensheng asked: "Second Uncle came home this time to help Liu Fusheng and convince Zhenqi?"

Xie Shengchen said: "This is a matter concerning clan rules, I will not interfere casually, but I would like to ask you, what is your attitude towards Liu Fusheng's approach to reforming the clan's current situation?"

Xie Zhensheng pondered and said, "Liu Fusheng's approach is correct. Both the country and the people can benefit from this. However, Zhenqi and I don't want to do this yet, and all the clans in East Guangdong cannot do this at the moment."

Changing the status quo requires a redistribution of benefits, which will involve many things at the social level. Once the Xie family makes changes, the impact on income, reputation, power and all aspects will be too great, and may even cause social unrest.

Xie Zhensheng was very honest when talking to his second uncle. He did not deny that Liu Fusheng was doing the right thing, nor did he deny that he might be one of the obstacles to Liu Fusheng's reform.

Xie Shengchen sighed, took out a USB drive from his pocket and said, "There's something in here. Ask someone to bring a computer over. We can play chess while analyzing it. After reading it, you might change your mind."

……

In the Xie family's living room.

Liu Fusheng saw Xie Zhenqi and Zhao Qiu Ming, both of whom were sitting on the sofa, with no intention of getting up to greet him.

Xie Zehua frowned slightly, but didn't dare to say anything.

Everything that happens next will depend on Liu Fusheng's performance.

Liu Fusheng had anticipated this situation. He did not wait for Xie Zehua to introduce himself. Instead, he strode over with a smile and sat down on the sofa on the side, facing Zhao Qiu Ming.

This scene made Xie Zehua stand there in astonishment.

Xie Zhenqi and Zhao Qiu Ming also raised their heads and stared at Liu Fusheng with unfriendly expressions, thinking to themselves: This kid is too rude.

Zhao Qiuming was a straightforward person. He slapped his chair and said, "Who are you? Who told you to sit down? Stand up!"

Liu Fusheng remained motionless, looking at Zhao Qiuming and said, "You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to talk to me like that? Are you polite?"

Zhao Qiu Ming said in a deep voice: "You are not worthy of talking to me about politeness? You go to someone else's house and don't even say hello. Is this something a normal person can do?"

Liu Fusheng sneered, "No normal person would do this. Invite someone to your home, then pull out a gun to scare them when they arrive, and then pretend to ignore them when they are done. How can this be called politeness? What kind of family tradition is this?"

"You..." Zhao Qiu Ming's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

Xie Zhenqi didn't say anything either. He just picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked up at Xie Zehua.

Xie Zehua walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, Brigade Commander Zhao, you two have misunderstood. Let me introduce you... Father, Brigade Commander Zhao, this is the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Fusheng whom I mentioned to you. He just arrived in Chaojiang to take up his post not long ago and has visited our home before."

Afterwards, Xie Zehua said to Liu Fusheng: "Secretary Liu, this is my father, and this is Brigade Commander Zhao of our Guangdong East Military Region."

Liu Fusheng of course had to give Xie Zehua face: "Hello, Commander Xie, I am Liu Fusheng."

Then he looked at Zhao Qiu Ming again, smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Zhao Qiuming looked unhappy and was about to say something when Xie Zhenqi spoke up: "You are a guest, please take a seat."

After saying that, he continued to drink his tea slowly without getting a teacup for Liu Fusheng.

Zhao Qiu Ming took a deep breath. He knew that Commander Xie had a bad temper, but he usually only got angry at his own people. If he lost his temper at outsiders, it would not be long before they really fell out.
