This is his habit, and he is unwilling to explain too much to others, even if the person is his father. Some things have completely different effects if he talks about them after they have been done than after they have been said.
The old man looked at Xiao Fan with a kind look on his face. During the war years, the old man was famous for his strictness. After liberation, he took charge of the work and his temper did not change much. Xiao Zhan was deeply influenced by him. But now he has retired and is over eighty years old. , the old man's personality has also changed a lot. Especially when facing his children and grandchildren, he is even more amiable and rarely gets angry.
"Xiaofan, I understand that you want to help your father lighten some of the burden. But political matters are more complicated. Sometimes everyone has different understandings of the same sentence. You have to be particularly careful and don't rush. Seek success. If you have time, communicate with your father more often."
The old man said slowly and with a deep heart.
Xiao Fan has been smart, diligent and studious since he was a child. The old man and other elders in the family originally had high hopes for him, hoping that he could enter the official career when he grew up, inherit the glory of his ancestors and fathers, and continue to glorify the lintel of the old Xiao family. Later Xiao Fan " "Going astray", the elders were heartbroken.
But half a year ago, Xiao Fan cured the old man's disease. At least the old man and Xiao Zhan's perception of him has changed a lot.
After the old man was notified that he was critically ill in the hospital, he suddenly turned around and recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Only the old man and Xiao Zhan knew what happened. They never mentioned it to anyone else, including Secretary Huang and Nurse Zhang.
Of course, Nurse Zhang had some vague guesses, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
The reason for keeping it secret was, firstly, to avoid embarrassing the experts at the General Hospital. Secondly, both the old man and Xiao Zhan knew that Xiao Fan’s method of treating the old man was too “mysterious”, and Xiao Fan even placed a mask in the old man’s ward. A "receiving magic circle", if such a situation spreads out, it will definitely cause an uproar.
The old man and Xiao Zhan are both big men who have experienced many storms, and they know how to deal with it.
It is a good thing that such a "magical person" exists in the Xiao family, but at the same time, it may cause disasters, so it is better to keep silent and make a fortune.
Now that Xiao Fan suddenly showed interest in politics, the old man was delighted and wanted to give some advice.
After all, when it comes to politics, Xiao Fan is a 100% "novice", and a piece of raw jade must be carefully polished before it can be made into a useful tool. Xiao Fan may no longer be able to seek development in his official career, but being a behind-the-scenes strategist is fully capable. of this potential.
Seeing the old man express his attitude like this, Xiao Zhan's expression became stern. He looked at Xiao Fan and asked seriously: "Xiao Fan, why do I hear that you like to show up in entertainment venues recently? And because of a Belarusian woman, and people Fighting and drinking?”
Mr. Wang's grandson, Wang Weicheng's son Wang Fei, was punched by Xiao Fan in the Star Language Bar six months ago and was sent to the hospital for three months. This was a major event that caused a sensation among the wealthy families in the capital. Naturally, some people immediately asked Xiao Zhan for it. report.
However, Xiao Fan left the capital immediately and Xiao Zhan had no chance to ask him in person.
Last night Xiao Fan broke another "big news". Still in the Star Language Bar, Xiao Fan actually had a drinking fight with the children of the Ye family over the Belarusian woman. It was said that he drank four bottles of 60-degree Erguotou in one go, killing Xiao Zhan. Everyone felt dizzy after hearing it.
Maybe it's because of her genetics and the nature of her job. Xiao Zhan also has a strong drinking capacity. But drinking four bottles of 60-proof Erguotou in half an hour is still incredible.
Is this still the gentle, elegant and gentle Xiao Fan?
Xiao Fan's image in Xiao Zhan's mind is changing rapidly!
But it is obvious that Xiao Zhan does not like his son's transformation. Having a naughty boy in the family is enough to embarrass Xiao Zhan. If another naughty boy appears, and he is a "magic naughty boy", Minister Xiao really doesn't know what to do.
alright.
This is so embarrassing!
Xiao Fan just laughed.
It seems that Xiao Zhan is quite well-informed. On the surface, the elders of the family disdain things in the dandy circle, but behind the scenes it is different. In fact, they pay more attention to the news in this circle.
"Dad, I just want to discuss with you and grandpa today about Xiao Tian's work arrangements."
"About Xiao Tian's work arrangements?"
Xiao Zhan was surprised again and had no mental preparation. Xiao Tian refused to change despite his repeated teachings. Xiao Zhan was so disappointed in him that he almost gave up completely on his little son and no longer had any hope.
The old man smiled and asked: "Xiaofan, how do you plan to arrange Xiaotian?"
Quite interested.
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Grandpa, I don't dare to arrange for Xiao Tian, I just have this suggestion."
"Well, you say."
"Xiao Tian has been playful since he was a child. He has formed a habit over the years and it will be hard to change after a while. Therefore, I suggest that he change his environment. Don't stay in the capital anymore, otherwise, he will always be unable to help himself.
Hanging around with those little brothers, I can't muster up the energy to work seriously."
Xiao Fan said seriously.
Xiao Zhan snorted and said: "If his character doesn't change, you can change him to work somewhere else, and he will still not do his job."
It is not that Xiao Zhan has never thought of similar methods, but every time he saw Xiao Tian, he would not be able to say more than three sentences before he would burst into anger and couldn't help but lecture Xiao Tian. Seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Yes, the two of them have never communicated well at all.
Xiao Fan said seriously: "Dad, I think you still have a little misunderstanding about Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian is just playful, and he still has a bottom line."
Xiao Zhan said angrily: "He has a bottom line? What bottom line does he have? I think he doesn't even know what the bottom line is!"
The old man said calmly: "Liberation, you should also pay attention to the methods and methods when communicating with your children. Just like when you are in the work unit, you cannot blindly impose strict requirements on your comrades. Sometimes, it is still necessary to listen to what they think.
Yes. We need to brainstorm ideas."
Xiao Zhan was a filial son. Although the old man was still displeased with what he said, he could only hold back his anger and keep silent.
"Xiaofan, please tell me your opinion in detail."
"Okay, grandpa. I think let Xiao Tian go to Jianghan and work in Luozhou County. He is now receiving full-level treatment. When he reaches the grassroots level, he needs to exercise more. I have this idea and let him go to Hongshan
Town, be the deputy mayor or deputy mayor
The secretary is also the party branch secretary of Hongshan Village. He lives directly in Hongshan Village. I believe that when he arrives in Hongshan Village, Xiao Tian will no longer be playful. There are so many clan elders and brothers from the same clan watching him. He has to work hard to do something serious.
Make some achievements."
"Go to Hongshan Village to be the branch secretary?"
Xiao Zhan and the old man immediately looked at each other. They did not expect that Xiao Fan would make such a suggestion. They had never thought about this before.
"Yes. If he goes to work elsewhere, the local leaders will know that he is a child of the Xiao family and will usually not arrange too hard work for him. They will always give him some care. This is not conducive to Xiao Tian changing his personality.
and living habits, on the contrary, they may be spoiled. Only going to Hongshan Village will not happen. When he goes to Hongshan Village, he is going there on behalf of his grandfather. He has to pay attention to his appearance.
Xiang, pay attention to maintaining the image of our Xiao family. The elders of the clan in Hongshan Village will also educate him. Dad, good habits and bad habits are all developed. Xiao Tian can probably develop them after working in Hongshan Village for one or two years.
He has better working and living habits. Besides, it is also a good thing for him to go to Hongshan Village to do some economic construction for his hometown and increase the per capita income level in the village."
Xiao Fan calmly expressed his thoughts.
Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up, he was obviously moved by Xiao Fan's suggestion and was seriously considering the feasibility.
The old man laughed and said: "It's not impossible. It seems that this person still needs some creative thinking and dares to break conventions in order to innovate."
By saying this, I actually agree with Xiao Fan's opinion.
Xiao Zhan said hesitantly: "Dad, is it appropriate for us, the children of the Xiao family, to go to Hongshan Village? There seems to be no such precedent..."
There are many founding fathers, and it is true that no direct grandson of any of them has ever returned to his hometown to become a branch secretary. There are some taboos that need to be paid attention to.
The old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "There's nothing inappropriate. As long as Xiaotian works hard, is responsible, and gets things done in his hometown, what's inappropriate?"
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Dad, there are many college student village officials now. Some of them have achieved very good results. Xiao Tian himself is a regular-level cadre, and he also has some connections in the capital. Do a good job
The construction work in Hongshan Village is not expected to be too difficult."
A mere village party secretary is really not an official.
It is indeed unjustifiable to go from being a cadre at the official level of a national ministry to becoming a village party secretary in rural areas of Jianghan, and to be envied and criticized by others. If anyone has any objections, let his children also become village party secretaries.
The Xiao family has no objection!
Xiao Zhan frowned again and said, "I'm just worried that he's not doing his job properly."
After all, Xiao Zhan was still worried about his youngest son. In fact, Xiao Tian had a very bad impression on him over the years. Xiao Zhan did not believe that Xiao Tian could still do his job seriously.
"Dad, people change."
Xiao Fan advised tactfully.
Xiao Zhan said: "There is another thing, we have arranged it for him, but he refuses to go on his own, what should we do?"
If Xiao Tian loses his temper, no one can force him.
Xiao Fan smiled and said: "I'll do this work, just give me some time. Xiao Tian does have such a character, if you force him to do it, I'm afraid the effect will be counterproductive."
"Okay, then go and do some work for him."
Xiao Zhan doesn't doubt this. He knows that Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian have a very good relationship. Perhaps in the entire old Xiao family, Xiao Fan is the only one Xiao Tian can listen to.
"Um."
Xiao Fan nodded.
The old Xiao family really needs to seize time. While the old man is still alive, they must grow stronger as soon as possible and condense the forces gathered around the Xiao family into a true whole.
No matter whether the old man is present or not, he can exert a decisive influence on the overall political situation, which is what makes him a real towering tree.
