An ancient looking small courtyard with simple and unadorned street lamps hung inside. A dark path led straight to a pavilion.
The pavilion was located in the center of the lotus pond. This season, the lotus flowers had yet to bloom, leaving only a clear lake.
Bamboo curtains hung around the pavilion, and a bright light could faintly be seen from inside.
"Mr. Ji, this way please!" A man in a suit bowed respectfully and led Ji Xiaohan forward.
Ji Xiaohan's thin lips slightly curled up. Looking at the surrounding environment, he imagined that the friend who was as warm as jade would have another chance to meet him again.
After passing through the beautiful scenery of the garden, he finally stepped into the corridor that led to the pavilion by himself.
He was almost to the door when the curtain was pushed aside by a pair of men's hands. A handsome, picturesque face, with a gentle smile, looked at him.
"If I didn't understand you, I would have definitely felt that you were too poetic. But, luckily, I knew that you were a quiet person." Ji Xiaohan smiled faintly and entered the pavilion. Under the bright light, Mr. Vice President, who was dressed casually, was smiling all over.
Ling Mofeng was sizing up Ji Xiaohan. Of course, Ji Xiaohan also wanted to get to know their friends that they never saw. Time and years had tempered their faces and temperament, unlike their youth and childishness. They were more mature and steady, full of the charm of a man's self-confidence.
"Haven't you seen enough of me on TV?" Ling Zhen smirked.
"You pretend to be deep on TV. You can't see yourself." Ji Xiaohan insulted him without any trace of politeness.
"There's no other way. If I don't pretend to be profound and let others see through my thoughts and thoughts, that would be scary." Ling Mofeng said as he poured a cup of tea and passed it to Ji Xiaohan, "You haven't changed, you're still in high spirits."
"Who said that? "I've already become so old that I can't even recognize myself anymore. Back then, the person I hated the most was that old fox in the mall. But now, I've forced myself to that state step by step." Ji Xiaohan started to mock himself.
"We're both the same. Back then, when my father was the President, I didn't like him either. I didn't like him either, and every day, I even went against him. But now, I want to become him." Ling Mofeng was also mocking himself.
"Don't worry about it too much, you always think that your eyes are the best. You want to look down on everyone, including those strong people, after entering society, then you realize that you also want to become a strong person. The strong have no enemies, you can protect those that are important to you, and you can decide anything you want." Ji Xiaohan carried the cup of tea over and drank it with a smile.
Ling Mofeng nodded in agreement.
"You can't blame me for not being there when you were married last time, right?" Ling Mofeng couldn't help but ask.
"You didn't show up, but I've accepted your heavy gift. Since you're giving me such a heavy gift, I won't mind. Worst case scenario, I won't go when you get married!" Ji Xiaohan joked.
"Marry? I never thought of it, and to be honest, I'm surprised. How did you get married? It seems to be the kind of person who gets in the car first to make up the bill. You have a pair of beautiful phoenix fetus, I really don't know if I should be envious or jealous of you. " Although Ling Mofeng didn't socialize with Ji Xiaohan often, Ling Mofeng would pay attention to any gossip about him.
"Whatever. You will also get married and have children. This is something that every man will experience. I am just a step ahead of you." Ji Xiaohan's eyes were filled with gentleness when he mentioned his wife and children.
"I won't consider getting married and having children right now. I just want to snatch my father's position and give him an explanation. Before he leaves, he shook my hand and asked for my guarantee." Ling Mofeng shook his head as if he had no interest in getting married and having children.
A year ago, my thoughts were the same as yours: getting married and having a child would be even more troublesome, but now, I've changed my mind. You might not know that when you return home tired after working for the entire day, there will be people concerned about you. Ji Xiaohan, as a father, was getting more and more experienced in talking about these sentiments.
"Maybe, when I have made a name for myself, I will be like you, trying to build a family, having one child and one daughter. When I am free, I will take my family out to play and relax my mind. But not everyone is lucky to have it. " Ling Mofeng lowered his head in self-mockery, his eyes were blank for a moment.
Ji Xiaohan knew he was thinking about his late father again, so he changed the topic to work.
His family had been in politics for generations, and his father was the former President. He should have been the one to succeed the position of President, but unfortunately, something big happened before the succession that led to Ling Mofeng's failure.
However, Ling Mofeng's family had always been unwilling. They pushed Ling Mofeng to snatch back the position of president. Thus, a political war broke out, and the various factions acted with caution in the dark.
Ling Mofeng had the aura of his father, and the momentum of this election was very strong. It had already become a huge threat to the current political party, and right now, it was calm on the surface, but the waves in the dark had already spread throughout the country. Victory or defeat now, everyone was looking forward to who could win.
Ji Xiaohan is now Ling Mofeng's strongest supporter, his wealth and influence is enough to reshuffle the country's politics and economy.
The two of them chatted as they ate, from politics to economics. In the blink of an eye, it was already past ten in the evening.
Since he didn't have enough, he could only bid farewell for now.
"If you have the chance in the future, introduce me to your wife and look at your two children." Ling Mofeng said sincerely.
"Alright, after you succeed in the election, we will have a lot of chances to meet. At that time, I might even introduce you to a girlfriend!" Ji Xiaohan joked.
"Alright, all the women you know will surely be outstanding. I'll look forward to it!" Ling Mofeng nodded with a humorous smile as well.
"You have such high standards, I'm afraid no woman would be able to enter your eyes!" Ji Xiaohan said with a smile.
"Let's talk about my girlfriend in the future. My mom might want me to marry a woman. I'm thinking about this right now!" Ling Mofeng Jun looked helpless.
