The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

After receiving the receipt, Li Yuanchao handed the money to the guard.

Security guards don't just protect leaders; they often also act as secretaries.

Li Tian put the bracelet on her wrist as soon as she received it.

The person giving the gift will be even happier if the gift is worn.

Choose a good gift for a newborn baby, and some valuable local specialties for the elderly.

Although the Ji family had no shortage of these things, they valued the "gift" more than the "object" itself.

When visiting an elderly person, you should never arrive empty-handed.

After shopping, the father and son went out for hot pot.

Li Tian had been craving this for a long time.

She can certainly eat out by herself, but since she rarely goes home on weekends, she must spend more time with her grandparents.

Sometimes I think that as I grow up, the time I can spend with them becomes increasingly limited, and once I'm home, I don't want to go out anymore.

After lunch, figuring that Grandpa Ji should be waking up from his afternoon nap, the two of them arrived at the state guesthouse.

After going through layers of notification and review, it took them more than ten minutes to finally meet the old man.

Li Tian is doing well; she goes to Shanghai almost every year.

Li Yuanchao did not have this advantage.

It's been several years since I last saw Ji Cheng at his wedding.

Li Yuanchao first gave his father-in-law a military salute.

This is the highest form of courtesy between fellow soldiers.

Ji Mingze returned the gift.

"Dad, the weather in Beijing is dry. Are you getting used to living here?"

Li Yuanchao did not mention letting the elderly stay at his home.

If the mother-in-law comes along, that's possible; the two old ladies could talk endlessly.

But Ji Mingze would feel uncomfortable living alone in his house.

He doesn't force people to do things they can't.

"It's not my first time here, staying for a few days shouldn't be a problem."

"Please sit down."

Upon hearing the order, Li Yuanchao sat down.

Li Tian then sat down next to her maternal grandfather.

"Grandpa, my dad bought my little brother a safety lock and also gave me a bracelet. Isn't it pretty?"

Ji Mingze couldn't tell whether it looked good or not, but his granddaughter liked it, so he couldn't spoil the mood.

He praised it without hesitation.

"It's beautiful. What else do you like? Grandpa will give it to you."

Li Tian just wanted to praise her father in front of her maternal grandfather; she didn't mean to ask for a gift.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I'm still young and don't usually wear these things, but Dad wanted to give me a gift. I can't refuse a gift from an elder, so I'll accept it."

Ji Mingze nodded.

Li Yuanchao smiled foolishly.

At least the girl has a conscience.

Ji Mingze looked at Li Yuanchao.

"Yuan Chao, um, um..."

Li Tian guessed that her grandfather was going to talk about Chu Xun's mother, so she mentioned it on his behalf.

"Yes, Chu Xun."

"What happened to Chu Xun's mother was not accidental; it seems someone is playing a long game."

"It's targeting your Li family, but it's definitely not just targeting your family."

"That war wasn't a fight between two people; it involved hundreds of thousands, even millions, of troops. No matter how you look at it, it can't be attributed to Brother Li alone."

"That kid from the Chu family got into trouble. I'll have someone investigate him again. Maybe he's fallen for their scheme. They're using Ji Ping's connections to target me."

Li Tian frowned.

As she grew older, she had forgotten most of the plot of the original book.

I can't remember anything about what happened to the Ji family afterward.

However, following my grandfather's line of thinking, it's not impossible.

They just want to create an opening in the weakest link.

This was a shrewd plan, and it achieved its intended purpose.

If it weren't for Li Tian's courage, if it weren't for Old Master Ji's decisiveness, if it weren't for Ji Ping's discernment...

Ji Ping is very likely to be completely dragged down by the Chu family.

With his eldest son in trouble, can Old Master Ji really just ignore it?

If you do anything, you risk giving others a handle to use against you.

The consequences are truly unpredictable.

Li Yuanchao also thought of these things, and even thought about them more deeply.

If it was done by the same group, the energy involved is terrifying.

Ji Mingze knew that the father and son had taken his words to heart.

"You don't need to worry about it too much, and you should also tell Brother Li not to take it to heart."

"However, with the opening up, all sorts of monsters and demons have gathered together again, and we must be highly vigilant and strengthen our own defenses."

Li Yuanchao nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Being with my father-in-law feels just like being with my own father.

Because I'm not so familiar with it, I'm more nervous.

There's always something to talk about when it comes to work.

It seems like there's nothing else to talk about besides work.

Li Yuanchao talked about his work, of course, the part that wasn't confidential.

It not only provides a topic of conversation to keep the conversation flowing, but also offers a rare opportunity to ask for advice.

Unless they are elders or teachers, who would dare to say a word?

Ji Mingze had always thought highly of Li Yuanchao, and for the sake of his granddaughter, he naturally wanted to give him a good boost.

It paves the way for future generations.

After sitting for more than an hour, Li Yuanchao left alone.

Li Tian stayed behind to keep the old man company.

Having Li Tian by the old man's side is a great comfort.

Li Tian wasn't just accompanying him for nothing; she met higher-level leaders and witnessed grand occasions alongside her grandfather.

After seeing her grandfather off at the airport, Li Tian returned to school.

It has become more grounded.

They still attended classes, studied on their own, and did their homework as usual.

Li Tian also took some time to visit Sparrow at the student union.

It's not about pressuring me to ask about Wu Shuang; the investigation has an organized process.

She understood.

"Senior, when would be a convenient time to talk to the boss about opening a restaurant? We need to get a definite answer about whether it's feasible."

Sparrow looked at Li Tian.

"Are you in such a hurry? You should be used to eating in the cafeteria after a month."

Li Tian pursed her lips.

Habits are also passive habits.

Who wouldn't want delicious food?

"I mentioned it to someone at the time, and I had to give them a definite answer about whether it could be done. Besides, isn't eating and drinking well a basic survival instinct?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The sparrow begged for mercy repeatedly.

He is eloquent, but eloquence is not for making excuses.

What you promise, you must do.

"Then come with me to find the teacher."

Li Tian didn't say anything; she could have contacted them immediately, which was exactly what she wanted.

Sparrow's position as vice president of the student council wasn't for nothing; she was very familiar with many of the school's departments and knew who to contact for any task.

"Teacher Liu, is this a convenient time for you?"

The man who was writing at his desk looked up when he heard the voices and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

"Xiao He, what do you want to see me about?"

Sparrow He Shen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately brought up the matter of opening a restaurant.

"Teacher, the school has vacant buildings that can be rented out to generate income. Opening a restaurant can also improve the meals for teachers and students. There are only benefits."

Teacher Liu did not rush to answer.

"Xiao He, we all understand that this matter only has benefits, but the problem is there's no policy in place! Whoever makes the decision bears the responsibility, and it's not my place, right?"

It doesn't involve his personal interests; he just doesn't want to meddle.

I understand, but since we're already here, we can't just let it go like this.

There are always conditions to be discussed in any matter.
