Career in Power - Chapter 226: Complete the Mission

After taking care of Qian Yunchang, the next thing that gives Lu Yan a headache is to go to Xu Richeng's house.

It stands to reason that Lu Yan's relationship with Xu Richeng is better than that with Qian Yunchang. The big storms in Qian Yunchang's family have already passed, so there should be no problem in going to Xu Richeng's family again. But now Lu Yan's heart is different from just now

He was even more nervous because he heard from Gao Jia that Xu Richeng's lover is now in Wucheng.

When he heard the news, Lu Yan wanted to give up visiting Xu Richeng, but according to Gao Jia's words, Xu Richeng's wife was coming to Xizhou to celebrate the New Year. There were only a few days left before the New Year's Eve, and it was not possible at this time.

Going to visit means that there may not be a chance years ago.

Visiting leaders during the Chinese New Year is a tricky business, which means it should be done sooner rather than later. Visiting before the New Year is a sign of sincerity, visiting after the New Year is a sign of sincerity, and visiting after the New Year is a sign of not rushing.

In previous years, Xu Richeng would celebrate the New Year in other places. This way, he could avoid a lot of trouble in paying New Year greetings, and secondly, he could take advantage of the rare New Year holiday to take a rest in other places.

The reason why Xu Richeng chose to celebrate the New Year in Wucheng this year is mainly because Xu Richeng's wife is in poor health and cannot adapt to the hot and humid climate in the south. She might as well stay in the capital, but she doesn't feel interested. It happens that she doesn't come to Wucheng very often, and

There is heating in winter and the climate is more comfortable, so I chose to celebrate the New Year in Wucheng.

Xu Richeng's villa is Building No. 1 in the courtyard, and it is also the most magnificent and majestic building in the entire courtyard. From the phone call, Lu Yan had already confirmed that Xu Richeng was at home, so he picked up the bonsai from the car and carefully

Arriving at the door of Xu Richeng's house.

The person who opened the door was Xiao Wang, the nanny of Xu Richeng's house. Lu Yan had met this little girl once before. When Minister Shen came to Xizhou, Lu Yan followed Minister Shen to Xu Richeng's house. However, Xiao Wang was obviously not there at this time.

Recognizing Lu Yan, he just opened the door a crack and asked him what happened.

Lu Yan quickly said that he was Lu Yan and came to visit Secretary Xu. After listening to what he said, Xiao Wang looked at him carefully, but still had no intention of letting him in. After looking at him for three or four seconds, he caught a glimpse of Lu Yan.

Yan stood behind the bonsai and immediately said: "Uncle Xu has an instruction, anyone who comes to give gifts will not be allowed in." He was about to close the door.

It would be too shameful for Lu Yan to let a nanny block the car like this, so he quickly stretched out a leg, stuck it in the crack of the door, and said to Xiao Wang: "Xiao Wang, I am Lu Yan

Ah, we met last time when Minister Shen came here, and I helped you pour water."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang stopped and looked at Lu Yan with his big eyes for a while, then he suddenly realized: "It's you, wait a minute, I'll report to Uncle Xu.

He promised not to let the gift-giver in."

Just as he was talking, he heard Xu Richeng's loud voice coming over: "Xiao Wang, who is at the door?"

Xiao Wang stuck out his tongue at Lu Yan and quickly said: "Uncle Xu, this is Lu Yan, here to visit you and your aunt."

"Oh, Lu Yan, let him in." Xu Richeng said this, and happened to relieve Xiao Wang. He opened the door and let Lu Yan in. He wanted to help Lu Yan move the bonsai, but Lu Yan was stopped by him.

blocked.

Xu Richeng's villa is very large, and it is a retest. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. Lu Yan has been here once and knows the layout of the room quite well. He first moved the bonsai and placed it on the balcony at the end of the living room.

.

After placing the bonsai, Lu Yan was hesitating whether the place was suitable when he heard Xu Richeng's voice above his head: "You kid, come and do this for me. What are you doing with this broken flower?"

Lu Yan looked up and saw Xu Richeng in pajamas, accompanied by a dignified lady coming down from upstairs.

"Hello Secretary Xu, this is Aunt Cheng." Xu Richeng's wife's name is Cheng Qing, and Lu Yan knows this. Although Lu Yan was blaming Xu Richeng when he heard what he said, his tone did not mean to blame him at all.

I am now more relaxed and more courageous.

"Yes, this is your Aunt Cheng." Xu Richeng said with a smile, and patted Cheng Qing's hand holding his arm. Cheng Qing smiled at Lu Yan dignifiedly and nodded as a greeting.

.

"Auntie came to our north to celebrate the New Year. She must not be used to the desolation here. This bonsai just adds a little green to the house." Lu Yan said to Xu Richeng and the others with a smile.

"After all these crooked ways, Gao Jia told you about Aunt Cheng coming to Wucheng to celebrate the New Year, right?" Xu Richeng had already gone downstairs at this time. Although he was still criticizing Lu Yan, his eyes could not help but look at that person.

I took a look at the bonsai.

This bonsai was carefully selected by Lin Zhijie. It was winter outside, but it was warm in the villa. Putting this bonsai in it added a bit of spring and looked very harmonious.

"Look at you, old man. When a child comes to see us, it's just a bonsai. What's the big deal?" Cheng Qing shook Xu Richeng's arm and said. Regarding the name Lu Yan, she heard Xu Richeng say it when he talked about Minister Shen.

, and when he met Lu Yan, he spoke very well and looked very talented. Cheng Qing had a preconceived impression of Lu Yan.

"Your aunt has already spoken, so I will accept it first and won't do it again!" Xu Richeng said with a smile, then pointed to the sofa and asked Lu Yan to sit down.

Xiao Wang quickly came up and poured tea for Lu Yan, and brought over a basin of washed fruits. Xu Richeng and Cheng Qing both had their own tea cups, and Xiao Wang went upstairs to get the tea cups for them.

The three of them sat down, and Xu Richeng took the lead in starting the conversation. On today's occasion, Xu Richeng did not mention anything about work, nor did he ask about the situation in Sidaogou. He just chatted with Lu Yan and others about Minister Shen. Youcheng

Because of Qing Zai, talking about work was too boring. The only thing the three of them had in common was talking about Minister Shen.

After being in contact with Gao Jia for a long time, Lu Yan gradually learned some about Xu Richeng's family situation.

Xu Richeng’s wife, Cheng Qing, was the daughter of a founding general.

During the war years, the general was a ruthless soldier and had no time to solve personal problems. It was not until the liberation of the country that the general was stationed in Lingnan, and then he had the opportunity to meet a medical college student. The general, who had never tasted love, fell in love with him all of a sudden.

A college student. Little did he know that this female student was a bit bourgeois and could not accept the general, a country bumpkin who had never gone to school for a day.

After two years of hard pursuit, the general's true love finally moved the college student. The thirty-five-year-old general finally embraced the beauty. After getting married, the general loved his wife in every possible way, but they never had children.

At first, I suspected that it was my wife's problem, but after the wife checked, she found that everything was normal, so she asked the general to do a check-up as well.

Unexpectedly, the general was very feudal at heart and was unwilling to undergo this examination. Moreover, Fang Yan would rather cut off his children than throw away that person. In desperation, the lady had no choice but to secretly take the medicine from the hospital and lie to the general that he had taken it.

.Unexpectedly, this method was very effective. It didn’t take long for the general’s wife’s belly to swell, and after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to Cheng Qing.

It stands to reason that the general should be happy when he gets a daughter in middle age. The general doesn't know that his disease has been cured, and he looks like his daughter's face and eyes are very much like his mother, and there is no trace of himself, so he feels in his heart

He had doubts about his wife's loyalty.

The general was very face-conscious. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it in his face at all. He just showed no concern for his wife and daughter and beat and scolded him at every turn.

Later, the general had an extramarital relationship with an actor from the military art troupe, and divorced Cheng Qing's mother. Cheng Qing was raised by her mother. Unexpectedly, the actor became pregnant not long after they got married. The general was very surprised.

I secretly went to the hospital for a check-up, and then I realized that my problem had been cured.

The general who knew the truth regretted it deeply, but the mistake had been made, and his wife now had a child. He could not abandon his wife and children again at this time. At this time, the Cultural Revolution happened, and the general was overthrown and imprisoned.

After leaving the bullpen, the actor's wife also quickly drew a clear line with him.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. At this time, the only one who cared about the general was his former wife. Moreover, his wife was criticized to death because he was implicated.

After the Cultural Revolution, the general returned to work. Feeling guilty for his wife and children, the general took care of Cheng Qing in every possible way, sending her to college and arranging a job for her.

The general had many disciples throughout his life, but it was a pity that Cheng Qing's mind was not on his official career. The general devoted all his attention to Cheng Qing's husband, Xu Richeng, and used his connections to vigorously support Xu Richeng, which finally made Xu Richeng the feudal prince today.

official.

Minister Shen is not only an old colleague of Xu Richeng, but also a mutual friend of Xu Richeng and Cheng Qing. He also met Lu Yan. The three of them talked about common topics. During the conversation, Lu Yan also learned about the current situation of Minister Shen’s son Zhang Heng.

Now he has taken over Lu Yan's shift and works in the Inspection Office of the Provincial Party Committee General Office.

Because he was the son of an old friend, Xu Richeng was particularly concerned about Zhang Heng. When talking about Zhang Heng, Xu Richeng made a comment: "He is not as good as you." The words were addressed to Lu Yan, who hurriedly explained who had whose strengths.

, and Zhang Heng is younger than himself.

After hearing this, Xu Richeng smiled and said nothing, but he did not continue the topic.

Since the purpose of visiting Xu Richeng has been achieved, and the bonsai has been placed at Xu Richeng's home, it is night again, and talking too much will disturb others' rest. Therefore, Lu Yan did not stay longer, and stood up without saying anything for a while.
