Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Gao Hongda echoed: "Secretary Ma is right, but the current world is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature. If everyone is as obsessed with martial arts as my senior brother, the world will be harmonious."

Secretary Ma nodded in agreement: "Master Luo's martial arts skills go without saying. I feel relieved when I leave my son to him. I don't expect him to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. I only hope that he can train his mind in the process of learning martial arts. .”

Suddenly he changed the topic and said to Luo Jianqiang with a smile: "Brother Luo, I regret that I didn't see you chop five with one knife. Now that the meal is not ready, I can show you something else!"

Luo Jianqiang was also very interested. Just seeing his apprentice being taught a lesson by his junior brother just now made him feel itchy in his heart. He asked Liu Xin to go to the house to get a porcelain bowl and put it on the stone table in the yard. He held his breath and stretched out the palm of his right hand. Everyone's eyes were fixed on his movements. He suddenly hit the inside of the porcelain bowl with the back of his hand. , the porcelain bowl was immediately split into two, but its position did not move at all. Everyone couldn't help but applaud and applaud. Although this action was simple, it was a test of speed and strength. It would be impossible to do it without years of skills.

Luo Jianqiang looked at Gao Hongda proudly and said, "How about it, junior brother, do you want to be one too?"

Gao Hongda was also unambiguous. He took a chopstick and took out a hundred-dollar bill and said to everyone: "I recently practiced a set of qigong and used money to break the chopsticks!" After speaking, he put one end of the chopstick on the table and held it with his left hand. On the other end, he took a deep breath and suddenly chopped down the banknotes held in his right hand. The chopsticks were immediately broken into two pieces. Everyone was stunned and only Yan Gaoliang snickered with contempt.

Ma Chao couldn't sit still anymore and quickly stood up and took Gao Hongda's arm and prayed: "Uncle Master, please teach me this Kung Fu!"

Gao Hongda put his hands behind his back and said pretentiously: "Of course you can, but you have to pay a tuition fee of [-] yuan!"

Ma Chao didn't hesitate. He ran to his father and stretched out his hand. The father was speechless and just took out the money and handed it over.

Gao Hongda boasted about the hundred yuan in an exaggerated manner, looked at the sky, folded it carefully and put it in his pocket, and whispered the secret into Ma Chao's ear.

After hearing this so-called secret, Ma Chao lost his composure and shouted aggrievedly: "It's over, I've been cheated for a hundred dollars!" As he was about to reveal Gao Hongda's little trick to his face, the latter directly covered his mouth. He was not allowed to say it, and he was warned: "This is the secret of magical power and cannot be passed on to others! If you say it, it won't work!"

Everyone laughed, but they were also very curious.

In order to comfort Ma Chao, Gao Hongda patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let me show you something real. I have been practicing Lion Roar Kung Fu since I was a child. Today I have just achieved great success. Today I will let you see what real magic Kung Fu is. Even your master has never been able to do it in his life." Never seen it! Go get a goblet!"

Now everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they gathered around Gao Hongda to watch his performance. He also said to everyone mysteriously: "Please stay away from me. I can't control the attack range of the lion's roar skill now. Be careful if I hurt your internal organs, it will kill you!"

It really frightened everyone so much that they took a few steps back and watched from a distance.

Gao Hongda touched the goblet lightly with the spoon, and there was a crisp sound in an instant. Then he held his breath and concentrated, and let out a low growl of uh uh uh. After several consecutive breaths, a magical scene appeared. , with his last roar, the glass goblet shattered.

At this time, everyone was shocked and speechless. Luo Jianqiang quickly asked: "Junior brother, it turns out that the martial arts in Jin Yong's novels really exist. I thought they were all lies! It seems that I have been It’s all in vain! Can you teach me?”

Gao Hongda raised his index finger and shook it and said, "No, no, I just collected tuition fees, so of course I can only teach Ma Chao!"

Ma Chao immediately held his arm and shook it hard: "Uncle Master, teach me quickly!"

Gao Hongda raised his hand to look at his watch, shook his head and said, "It's time to eat. I'll teach you after we finish drinking. It can be considered as a legacy of magical skills."

When they first met, Gao Hongda conducted a series of interactions around Ma Chao, leaving a good impression on Secretary Ma. Which parent doesn't want to see his or her child become the protagonist in front of everyone. Even though Ma Chao was beaten and teased today, his father was still very excited. His smile never stopped from the moment he walked in the door. Yan Gaoliang, who originally planned to come to help, felt that he was simply overthinking this time. This upstart brother had already learned how to deal with people and the world.

Gao Hongda would definitely give in when he tested Ma Chao's kung fu, but he himself clearly felt that his reaction speed and strength were far inferior to when he was just reborn. His movements at that time were always one step ahead of others, even if he was a super Luo Jianqiang, who is responsible for force, can still win in a battle. Is it really related to his indulgence in sex? It’s true that I’ve been a little overworked recently, and the possibility of my body being hollowed out is very high.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved. If his body was weak, he would just make up for it.

Yan Gaoliang and Liu Xin helped throughout the whole process, acting as temporary waiters and putting a table of dishes on the table. However, scheduling became a problem this time. In the end, it was Vice Mayor An Yunlai who took charge of this job. After all, the people in the system are still very capable. In this way, he arranged for Secretary Ma to sit in the chief position, but Secretary Ma refused and insisted on taking Luo Jianqiang to sit in the chief position. In his own words: "The kindness of the Master is greater than heaven and earth, more important than parents." . Although I am not a Han citizen, I am also a descendant of the Chinese nation, and it is a fine tradition to respect teachers and respect the Tao. Therefore, as Quan Zi’s mentor, Master Luo deserves to be on the throne!"

Lao Luo refused and was forced to sit on the chief chair by Secretary Ma, while he sat on his right. Mayor An arranged for Ma Chao to sit next to his father, but Secretary Ma pushed him to sit at the bottom. His reason was: "Today, his status is the most humble. Everyone here is uncle, so he can be there." The seats are pretty good.”

Secretary Ma looked at Yan Gaoliang who had been silent and said: "Brother Yan, if you don't mind, let's sit closer together!" Yan Gaoliang didn't hesitate, but pushed Gao Hongda over and explained: "You educated people Being together is convenient for communication. I fought side by side with Boss Zhang some time ago. Today, we two brothers are drinking at the same table, and I sit with Boss Zhang." Zhang Silin on the side felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and Yan Gaoliang pushed him to sit down next to him. Of course, the second deputy position belongs to Mayor An himself. Yan Gaoliang takes the first position below him. Liu Xin is very honored today. For the first time, he has the opportunity to sit at the table with the bosses. Instead of his usual attitude of being generous, he is He had a low eyebrow and his eyes were submissive, sitting at the bottom with Ma Chao.

There were only seven people sitting at the large table that could accommodate about ten people, which seemed a bit empty.

Ma Chao was very discerning. He opened the box, took out the wine, and poured wine for everyone one by one. Everyone had a full goblet. This was actually expensive Maotai. It seemed that this old Ma family was not stingy. Gao Hongda even saved his own wine.

Secretary Ma tilted his head towards Luo Jianqiang and said, "Brother Luo, please say a few words first, and then we'll start!"

Lao Luo nodded and said: "I will just say a few words. First of all, I would like to thank my junior brother for the warm hospitality. I am also honored to invite the two leaders to take a break from their busy schedules to have a drink. I would also like to thank Boss Zhang for helping himself a few days ago. My junior brother is here to lend a helping hand. Brother Xiao Yan and Ma Chao are also members of the family, so there are no polite words. I suggest that we all go and have three cups first."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together. Lao Luo pointed at the ground-pot chicken with his chopsticks and said: "Everyone, try it. It's a special dish from my junior brother's hometown. I ate it twice last time in Xuzhou and I couldn't get enough of it. It's definitely delicious."

Luo Jianqiang is very experienced in hosting wine parties and is also good at adjusting the atmosphere. Before the wine gets intense, everyone only talks about romance and not business. After drinking half a kilo of wine, everyone gradually became red-faced and the atmosphere became more lively. Finally, we could talk about some serious topics, and Secretary Ma began to speak. As the dignified secretary of the county party committee, his posture today was quite low, his tone was very soft, and he did not show any air. Although he was still full of majesty, Gao Hongda and his party felt like a spring breeze.

"Dear young and old gentlemen, I should have organized the banquet today, and it should have been organized long ago!" He raised his hand to stop everyone's politeness, and continued, "There are no outsiders here. Vice Mayor An is Zhang Silin's brother-in-law, Zhang Silin is my little brother, brothers Lao Luo and Hongda are Quanzi's mentors and uncles, and this brother Xiao Yan is Hongda's top brother, so I won't beat around the bush. First of all, for brother Silin Apologize, he was too showy before and had a little quarrel with the Hongda brothers. Today, while everyone is happy, I suggest that they both have a drink together and this matter will be settled!"

Gao Hongda glanced at Mayor An across from him, who blinked slightly and understood. He stood up with a drink and faced Zhang Silin and said: "Secretary Ma just said something serious. Brother Silin and I said it was a holiday, but it doesn't count. , there was at most a small quarrel, and I thought that this big brother would go all the way to Xuzhou to give me a fight, and he also fought a tough battle with real swords and guns. I must respect Big Brother Lin with this glass of wine today! "

Zhang Silin was not pretentious. He quickly got up and clinked the wine with him. Then he raised his glass and said, "Thank you very much for the reminder from Mr. Pao. He told me not to do the same tricks as before. I was Still not convinced, I followed Ma Chao to Xuzhou with the intention of watching the excitement. After seeing that scene, I must admit that I was very glad that I didn’t do anything stupid, otherwise I would really have caused trouble to Mr. Pao. My poor brother Jiang Tianlu lost. No loss at all!”

Zhang Silin's attitude surprised both Gao Hongda and Yan Gaoliang. He didn't even conceal his admiration. Ordinarily, with his proud character, he would definitely not be like this. Could it be that he was deliberately showing weakness to set some trap for them later?

Gao Hongda still used his eyes to check Mayor An's attitude, and the latter picked up the water glass and took a sip. It's funny to say it, but it's obvious that he was having a conflict with his brother-in-law. But Gao Hongda chose to believe Mayor An for no reason this time, either because of the frank meeting in the bathhouse before the Spring Festival last year, or because Zheng Shaoqiu said that Mayor An did not support the behavior of his brother-in-law. .

Gao Hongda raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass, showing his pride. Zhang Silin was not to be left behind, and also drank all the wine in the glass.

Luo Jianqiang said while applauding: "It is difficult to recognize the excellence of others! I give Brother Silin one point!"

Secretary Ma continued: "As for the second thing, I had an in-depth communication with Mayor An before. Let Mayor An talk about this matter,"

Finally let’s get to the point. Mayor An didn't hesitate and said directly: "You guys just had trouble with that nightclub before. It's completely unnecessary. The responsibility for this matter does lie with Silin. Xiao Gao and the others have no interest in this kind of gray business at all, and Silin He wanted to play the trick of a white wolf with empty gloves. Secretary Ma and I often criticized him. Now that the Jiang Tianlu incident has not passed, the nightclub is a hot potato, so it is a wise choice for Xiao Gao and the two brothers not to get involved in this. . Let’s wait until the limelight has passed before we consider it again.”

Yan Gaoliang raised his hand and said: "This matter is also very simple. In my name, let's hand it over to Brother Silin to manage. Isn't there nothing wrong with it? Since we can sit down and drink together calmly today, we will all be brothers from now on." , it’s easier to travel with more brothers, in the future Hongda will still need Brother Silin’s help in the eastern suburbs.”

Zhang Silin glanced at Secretary Ma and then at his brother-in-law. The excitement and anticipation in his eyes were self-evident.

Secretary Ma also exchanged glances with Mayor An Yunlai, and both nodded, acquiescing to this approach.

Secretary Ma said: "You brothers can discuss this kind of trivial matter among yourselves. Anyway, the purpose of my coming today is to make friends. I didn't expect the two little brothers to be so cheerful. Thinking about the few little brothers I brought up, I am really ashamed. , Jiang Tianlu will not talk about it, he will just do those things that make people angry, and the others only want to gain a false reputation in society, but they have not accomplished many real things."

Zhang Silin buried his head very low. Obviously, these words meant to criticize himself.

Gao Hongda flattered him at the right time: "That's because Secretary Ma has too high expectations for the brothers."

Secretary Ma sighed and said, "I hate iron! Take my own son as an example. Even as a father, I can't control him. He wandered around before graduating from junior high school. If I hadn't sent him to Lao Luo, Learn some rules, I can’t even imagine what this thing will become!”

Ma Chao looked like he was not stingy. He stood up and poured wine for Gao Hongda and prayed: "Uncle Master, please teach me the Lion's Roar Kung Fu!"

Everyone laughed, and Lao Luo also urged: "Junior brother, please stop hiding it."

Gao Hongda couldn't pretend anymore and could only tell the truth: "What kind of lion roaring skill is this? This is science! It's just the principle of resonance. As long as the vibration frequency of the sound produced by the human throat is consistent with the height of the glass, it will cause The cup resonates, gradually increasing the amplitude, and when it reaches the limit that the glass can withstand, it will naturally break!"

Ma Chao asked doubtfully: "Is it that simple?"

Lao Luo said unhappily: "You take a cup and go out to practice. When you're done, come back and eat!"

Not only did Ma Chao not blush, he actually ran out in the yard with a cup and roared like Gao Hongda.

Secretary Ma shook his head and sighed helplessly. He pointed at his son outside and said, "Did you see that he has high ambitions but low intentions? He must be allowed to remember!"

After the serious talk, everyone continued to drink and chat, and the host and guest had a great time. Nothing unpleasant happened during the whole process, which made Gao Hongda completely relaxed. It seemed that Secretary Ma was really not an ordinary person. He not only had prestige, but also magnanimity. It was not a bad thing to make friends with him. His straightforwardness was better than that of Anshi. Chang Ping's way of talking is more comfortable.
