Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 1194 How to make soup

Perhaps the answer I got was a little unpleasant.

That’s why there was no follow-up.

Xu Damao didn’t have time to think about these things. He was already tired enough after work every day, and he was really too lazy to think about anything else.

As time went by, Xu Damao went to the hospital more and more frequently.

In the past, I went to ask Mr. Tang for instructions on work, but now I just go there to visit him.

Because Mr. Tang's condition has worsened, he is in critical condition. To put it bluntly, his recovery is imminent.

Of course, this matter is kept strictly confidential.

Xu Damao hadn't gotten off work yet when a phone call came into his office.

"Da Mao, cough, cough, do you still know who I am? Cough."

Just one sentence and two coughs, but Xu Damao would naturally never forget that sound.

It’s Principal Zhang.

It had been a long time since they parted on bad terms, and they had never been in touch since then. When he suddenly called, Xu Damao was a little confused about what this person was up to.

"Principal Zhang, it's rare that you still call me."

"Everyone knows that you are in the limelight now. Even I can't disturb your work."

Having said that, Xu Damao knew that the person who called must have something important. The saying "no one visits you without a reason" applies to this kind of person.

The last time they parted on bad terms, if it weren't for his strong connections now, someone else would have probably disappeared silently from the city.

Principal Zhang is definitely familiar with this kind of thing.

"Principal Zhang, you are being too polite. I will always remember your help. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Then let's meet tonight. I'll send a car to pick you up."

"You can meet me once, but you don't have to pick me up. My current driver is very dedicated, so I'd better have someone lead the way for me."

There was no need for Xu Damao to ask where they were going.

Now, given his status, as long as he is still one of us, no one will touch him even if we have different opinions.

Because his current position was obtained through a small meeting convened by the boss himself, or it was a temporary supplementary meeting.

There is no need to say what this means.

This time we didn’t go to that restaurant, but went to a place we had never been to before.

It is not in the center of the old city, but in a small courtyard in the west city.

It is a courtyard with one entrance.

The house wasn't big, but it was quite busy, with several medical personnel coming and going.

"Your health cannot be delayed any longer. You need to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

"It can't be delayed any longer."

"I know my physical condition very well. When it's time to go, I will go naturally."

"Speed ​​up, don't let the guests outside wait too long."

Xu Damao waited here for a long time and heard some words in the room. He came to the conclusion that there might be something wrong with Principal Zhang's health.

It's quite serious.

I didn't wait for the door to open, but I did meet another acquaintance, Xiao Wang.

Why do I see him everywhere recently?

Xiao Wang took a cigarette skillfully and lit it. There was less cynicism on his face and more grievance and helplessness.

"How come I can meet you everywhere?"

"That's a coincidence. This is what I wanted to say to you."

The two smiled at each other and stopped talking.

After finishing a cigarette, the door opened, all the medical staff left, and only Principal Zhang and his lover were left in the room.

At this time, Principal Zhang was half lying on the bed, and his face looked a little rosy, perhaps because he had just undergone treatment.

But overall, the disease is indeed serious.

"Principal Zhang."

"Director Zhang."

"If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. If the medical conditions at home are not adequate, it is better to go to the hospital."

Xu Damao immediately gave some advice.

"I can't get better from this illness."

Principal Zhang said this with self-mockery, as if he had already accepted his fate.

He is no longer the same as the high-spirited Principal Zhang back then.

Principal Zhang got out of bed with help, and it seemed that he had difficulty taking two steps.

"Da Mao, I asked you to come here today because I wanted you to get to know me. This is my first house since I came to the city, so I live here most of the time. I have many places to live, but I only want to call this place my home. I hope you can take good care of me in the future."

"The second thing is that someone asked me to give you a document."

It is said to be a document, but in fact it is just a piece of paper, without even an envelope.

As long as you touch it, you can see the words on the paper.

"If you want to make a soup, you only need salt and plums."

Xu Damao:......

He was familiar with the handwriting on it because the office had already received two of them, but the question was: was this really given to him?

The plum soup is waiting to be prepared in the pot, and the sweet spring water is visited morning and evening.

This is a sentence from "Shang Shu Shuo Ming", which says that if you are making soup, you are the salt, which means that nothing can be done without you.

You are the talent that is needed.

The deeper and more obscure meaning is 'Prime Minister'.

Because this passage is the edict of Emperor Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty appointing Fu Yue as prime minister.

Xu Damao didn't expect that Principal Zhang would give him such a thing.

Why does it have to go through Principal Zhang’s hands?

Xu Damao gently pushed the paper back: "This gift is too heavy, I can't accept it."

Although Xu Damao recognized the handwriting, he still thought it was from Principal Zhang.

"Really not?"

"I really don't want it."

Xu Damao refused firmly.

This is just like being invited to a meal. You refuse it once to see if they are sincere.

Just like when you are in a relationship, reject someone first to test their sincerity.

The main reason is that Xu Damao felt that things must not be that simple. Why did it have to go through Principal Zhang’s hands?

For this reason, Xu Damao did not dare to accept it easily.

"You don't even want it when I give it to you. You are too cautious. In this respect, you are not as good as Xiao Wang. He will take whatever is given to him. He is not picky at all."

"I handed the 862nd Bureau to him, and he accepted it without hesitation. I think he can do a better job in dealing with enemy spies."

As Principal Zhang said this, he looked at Xu Damao deeply.

The meaning in his eyes is very simple. He originally intended to let you inherit his legacy, but who made you so disappointing?

Even if Xu Damao understood it, he pretended not to understand it.

"I think so too. Team Leader Wang has been to the battlefield and hates foreign enemies to the core."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You finally made it here, so today I'll let you experience the best hospitality, which is a family dinner. I'll cook two dishes for you myself."

Xu Damao:......

Student Xiao Wang: …

You need someone to help you walk, and you still want to cook two dishes?

Xu Damao was really worried that he might get into trouble accidentally, so he took the initiative to make a suggestion: "How about letting me do it?"

"Then you come."

Xu Damao:......

He didn't expect that Principal Zhang agreed so readily without even trying to refuse.

It was as if it had been prepared in advance.
