The Old Master Is Scolding People!
Old Man Li's work and rest were completely different from Minister Wu's.
Prime Minister Wu had developed a habit while working behind enemy lines. He had to get up at 12 o'clock. He worked more than ten hours a day, and sometimes he could only rest in the early hours of the morning.
Old Master Li's workload was seventeen to eighteen hours a day.
He did not have the habit of waking up at twelve, but he had a particularly serious problem-a particularly serious nervous breakdown.
When he slept, he had to request for absolute silence.
The trees in the South China Sea were particularly lush. The guards around the old man had to use bamboo poles to chase birds during the day so that the old man could have a peaceful sleep after working for 17 to 18 hours.
Old Master Li woke up at noon. He loved reading newspapers and newspapers. His habit every morning was to read newspapers, read internal reference books, and eat at the same time.
There were only two situations when an old man could eat properly. One was when he attended a national banquet, and the other was during the New Year.
The rest of the time, Old Master Li would read and eat at the same time.
In fact, doing so did not do much good to the body. It was just that the old man was used to it!
The old man was quite happy today.
Early in the morning, a large number of craftsmen brought materials to renovate his dormitory.
He also knew his own problem. He had to use sleeping pills when he slept, but after such a long time, his condition could not be improved.
He didn't want the staff to chase the birds away during the day. To be honest, he liked hearing the birds chirping.
Now, Jianguo Yang had come up with an idea to completely renovate his bedroom and study so that he could have an absolutely quiet room.
In this way, the guards around him did not have to work hard to chase the birds away, nor did they have to be careful to not disturb his sleep.
Old Master Li was quite happy.
Then, someone came to visit.
The person who came was someone he knew, a famous person in the cultural world. This person's surname was Zhu!
Old Master Li was very happy. He quickly invited Mr. Zhu to sit down.
"Since you're early, why don't we have a meal together?”
Mr. Zhu's expression was very ugly.
"Old Master, I'm here to complain to you.”
Old Master Li's expression immediately changed.
"Did my organization make a mistake?”
Mr. Bamboo immediately said,"
"It might not be someone from your organization. I'm talking about a unit.”
Old Master Li was puzzled.
"Which unit? What did he do to make Sir so angry?”
Mr. Zhu said indignantly,
"This unit is the thirty-fourth special needs department.”
Old Master Li looked at Mr. Zhu differently.
"34th VIP Department? His person-in-charge is really from our organization. What did he do?”
Mr. Zhu said,
"The people from the 34th Special Requirements Department are corrupt!”
Old Master Li put down the book in his hand and asked solemnly,
"Don't worry and speak boldly. It doesn't matter if you've been wronged.”
"If the people from the 34th Special Services Department are really corrupt, I won't be lenient.”
He was a little angry.
"How long has it been since the case in 1952? Someone actually dared to commit another crime?”
"Just say it, I'll help you!”
Mr. Bamboo immediately said,"
"Today, I went to the 34th VIP Department to purchase ingredients. I heard the salesperson at the counter say that I should quickly use up this month's quota.”
"Otherwise, starting from tomorrow, we'll have to use the receipt.”
He was furious.
"In the past, we could buy 16 pounds of meat, 6 pounds of eggs, or other food every month.”
"From tomorrow onwards, we will have to use tickets.”
"Our expenses are so huge. How can a person's quota of 26 catties be enough?”
"If the new director of the thirty-fourth VIP department does this, how can we eat meat?”
The smile on Old Master Li's face was gone. He asked,
"Without the thirty-fourth special needs department, can't you buy meat?”
Mr. Bamboo complained,
"That amount will be gone in a week at most!”
"How can people not eat meat?"
Mr. Zhu did not notice that the smile on Old Master Li's face had disappeared. He continued to chatter,
"In the past, the No. 34 VIP Department didn't need a ticket at all. Now that they want it, that Director Yang will definitely line his own pockets.”
"Old Master, you have to investigate him properly. He will definitely be corrupt!”
Old Master Li said gently,
"I know about this. Come, let's eat!”
Mr. Zhu was still angry.
"You're right. It hasn't been long since the incident in 1952, and that Director Yang dares to be corrupt.”
"He's been suffering from major disasters for the past two years. He doesn't want to do a good job and only wants to do some evil things.”
"Old Master, you have to be careful!"
Old Master Li reached out his hand and gestured,
"Eat!"
Only then did Mr. Zhu feel that the atmosphere was different. He looked up and saw that Old Master Li's face was dark. He was shocked and quickly said,
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's eat."
Mr. Zhu picked up his chopsticks and was stunned.
What did he see?
A plate of water spinach, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of stir-fried beans.
The staple food was brown rice!
Mr. Zhu didn't know what to say for a moment. He said,"
"I didn't expect the old mister to have such a hard time…"
Old Master Li said slowly,
"Is it tough?"
"No, this is much stronger than before. Back then, when I climbed the snowy mountains and grasslands, I had no choice but to dig wild vegetables and eat tree bark to satisfy my hunger.”
"How can I let you eat water spinach? How could I let you eat cabbage? How would I let you eat stir-fried beans?”
"Not to mention, I can also eat such sweet rice!”
Mr. Zhu felt as if his butt was being pricked by needles, and he couldn't sit still.
Old Master Li said lightly,
"Mister is right. The farmers have been suffering from two consecutive years of disasters.”
"So, I held a meeting in the organization and took the lead in lowering my salary.”
"The higher the level, the more it will drop.”
"After all, it's better to save as much as possible.”
Mr. Zhu's face was covered in sweat. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He wanted to escape.
Old Master Li didn't finish his sentence.
"Is it tough without meat in the dishes?”
"No, I think it's very sweet."
"The world is suffering, and the people inside and outside the red wall are going through the difficult times together.”
"I want to eat like the farmers, but someone won't let me.”
"I know. I'm living a much better life than a farmer.”
He looked at Mr. Zhu with a faint smile.
"I've been living like this for almost two years.”
"I can live like this for a few more years.”
Mr. Zhu stood up abruptly and hurriedly apologized.
"Old Master, I was wrong…I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first…"
He ran and rolled away. There was nothing dirty in the old man's words, but every word was a slap to his face!
Old Master Li shook his head slightly.
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
