"Brother, are you serious about this? Can we really get in?"
This advantage means that even if we can't acquire effective clients from the Nangong family in the short term, it can still solve our immediate problem.
Hearing the other person's affirmative answer, he felt even more strongly that this person was definitely not an ordinary individual.
Otherwise, given the other person's personality, they would never have introduced it to me, especially after knowing about my troubles, which are beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person.
After the two went inside, they saw a number of elderly people playing chess under the shade of a tree. Most of these people were unassuming and unskilled. Lu Fan quickly recognized one of them as the former mayor.
Even though he no longer holds power, his refined demeanor and the fact that he was once a legendary figure still remain.
He paused for a moment, unable to believe his eyes. Was he really going to meet the other person?
As the distance between them drew closer, he grew increasingly nervous. This was the first time he had ever met someone like this. High-ranking officials of this level, even after retirement, retained their unique rights—this was the very foundation of their survival.
As they drew closer, Lu Fan grew increasingly nervous. If they actually met, he didn't even know what to say.
After Sun Yue went inside, he looked at Old Huang standing to the side.
"Hey Sun, is this the guy you were going to introduce to me? What's his background? Why does he need your help?"
Sun Yue then gave a general account of Lu Fan's identity. The man frowned slightly, as if he already knew everything about Lu Fan.
After a brief pause, the old man looked at Lu Fan.
"This is not a convenient topic to discuss here. Let's go back first."
"Old Huang, how many times have you done this? Did you deliberately send Xiao Sun to cause trouble? This is not fair. You've lost to me so many times already."
Old Huang simply coughed lightly, but his hand mischievously scrambled all the flags, then casually left, and the others didn't seem to care much.
It was as if this matter had long been commonplace.
"Old Huang, you're starting to look like a sore loser. If you can't handle the game, then don't play. You're just keeping us from playing chess."
He wasn't annoyed by these words, and the two of them, Lu Fan and Lu Fan, then arrived at a family villa.
Once inside, there was a tea set nearby. After both parties were seated, Lu Fan tactfully glanced at it.
"I am somewhat familiar with Mr. Huang's work of making tea. I came in a hurry this time and did not have time to prepare any gifts for you."
"Why don't you take a look at this bank card and accept it for now? There's some money in it; consider it my way of showing my respect."
After handing the card to the other person, Lu Fan looked at the cup on the table.
"I have some unique insights into tea tasting. If you don't mind, Mr. Huang, you might as well try my cooking."
Upon hearing this, Old Huang simply waved his hand, not caring at all about arguing with Lu Fan, let alone the people that Xiao Sun brought.
Lu Fan was somewhat reserved. Watching the other person and Sun Yue chatting happily, they could clearly see that there was definitely something going on behind the scenes.
If that's the case, he's a little confused as to why he was so mediocre before. Under normal circumstances, a second-generation official like him would never abandon his family so easily.
Looking at the reactions of the two people, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on. He completely felt that the two of them were definitely closely connected.
"Xiao Sun, you've finally introduced me to someone after all this time, but you don't even care about your own work."
"Are you trying to make me make a mistake by pulling this all of a sudden?"
Sun Yue simply smiled and watched as the old man walked behind him and skillfully massaged his shoulders.
"Uncle Huang, what are you saying? My brother here is also in trouble and wants to ask you for help. You can see for yourself if it's okay. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask someone else to take a look."
The tone implied that if the other party disagreed, they would immediately find someone else.
The two talked without any pause, as if they were already old acquaintances.
Looking at her skillful technique and her character, he really couldn't believe that this was the Sun Yue he knew before.
After preparing the tea, he presented it to the other person with both hands.
"Mr. Huang, this is tea that I personally prepared for you. I wonder if you would like to try it and see if it suits your taste."
I have some excellent Tieguanyin tea leaves at home, and I will definitely bring them to you personally when I have the chance.
After saying those words, Lu Fan became increasingly nervous, unsure of what the other party was planning to do.
However, he felt he had to reveal his identity. This meeting was just the beginning; what followed would likely depend on his own efforts.
This former mayor, though not particularly powerful, was more than capable of helping him.
To gain a foothold here, with his men, he could do it with just a few words.
"Xiao Sun, I'm feeling quite comfortable now. There are some things you shouldn't hear, so why don't you leave first?"
Sun Yue didn't explain after hearing this, and turned around and left. Inside the room, the other person kept looking Lu Fan up and down.
It has to be said that this was the first time he had ever seen Sun Yue value someone so much.
“I believe you must have some doubts in your heart, and your situation seems somewhat troublesome to me.”
Lu Fan frowned slightly. He was well aware of the dangers involved, and the other party's involvement would make his later years feel tiring.
After all, retiring here is much more comfortable than making a comeback.
"Since Xiao Sun invited you here, I never thought of not helping you. He usually treats me, his uncle, with great respect."
He himself is upright and incorruptible, never using connections or back channels; he achieved everything through his own hard work. That's the kind of person I admire.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Lu Fan also sensed that the other person might want him to face it alone.
Thinking back on what he had just said, he was momentarily at a loss and could only manage a smile. He didn't dare to elaborate on the issues between the two.
After all, this matter has become quite complicated by now.
"My subordinate asked Elder Huang for guidance, and there are some things I really don't understand, and I don't know how to choose between these two options."
Upon hearing this answer, Old Huang could only sigh. He naturally knew that Lu Fan's actions were clearly an act.
He also knew that the other party was facing a situation that couldn't be resolved in the short term.
