Everyone was clamoring to go to the Forbidden City to see the phoenix, but Mr. Long firmly disagreed.
"I said, why are you in such a hurry? This is a critical moment."
"The phoenix was attacked on its way here. Didn't you know that?"
"Do you know how many eyes are staring at the phoenix right now? For the sake of secrecy, no one is allowed to see it."
"Besides, why are you so anxious? Won't we be able to see it on August 1st?"
Old Long slapped the table and scolded with a frown.
"We are not others, can't we go out and tell everyone about it?"
An old man asked unwillingly with his eyes flickering.
"That's right, are you still worried about our old dragon?"
Someone immediately followed suit.
"Huh, don't you guys sleep? Don't you talk in your sleep?"
"The more people know about it, the greater the risk of exposure. Everyone will go back."
"It's not like I won't show it to you. Why are you so anxious? You're already old, what's the point of saying that?"

"Besides, Jiang Che is currently cooperating with the country and doing quite well. I think you're just suffering from an occupational disease."
Leader Xi took a sip of tea and said helplessly.
"Oh, okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."
"That kid doesn't know it yet. I'll have to apologize to him if he breaks my treasured iron table during dinner later."
Old Long shook his head, feeling a little guilty.
"Old man, since you are so generous, I won't leave at noon today."
When Leader Xi heard that there was an iron-covered drinking platform, his eyes lit up and he smiled.
Old Long rolled his eyes at him unhappily and drank his tea.
