The "Zhao Family Courtyard" located in Zhongnanhaili actually houses only the "heads" of the Zhao family, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, as well as security guards, secretaries, health doctors and other staff who are the core heads of the central government.
Mr. Zhao has three daughters and one son. Except for one daughter who is engaged in business and has settled overseas, the other two daughters and one son are serving in the military or local party and government agencies. The one with the highest rank and position is Zhao Shuyu’s father, deputy secretary of the Party Leadership Group of a certain department of the Central Committee.
, Executive Vice Minister Zhao Kai.
Today is Mr. Zhao’s 80th birthday. The children of the Zhao family went to Zhongnanhai to celebrate the old man’s birthday. With Mr. Zhao’s prominent position as the second-ranking head of the Central Committee, his influence and that of the Zhao family are still unparalleled. It’s just that the old man’s days away from the political stage were quiet and indifferent.
On weekdays, I amuse myself with calligraphy and painting, rarely interfering with politics and state affairs, and content myself with taking care of myself.
Today's birthday banquet is a family banquet. Three daughters, one son, plus seven or eight grandchildren and four or five great-grandchildren of the Zhao family crowded the large living room of the small building where Mr. Zhao lives, laughing and chatting.
Continuously.
Looking at the children and grandchildren under Cheng Huan's knees, Mr. Zhao had a gentle smile in his eyes. In the past, the aura of a powerful person who controlled the administrative power of a country has long become a thing of the past. Just because he has controlled power for many years, Zhao's eyes flashed.
The old man's demeanor was dignified and imposing.
Zhao Kai and Mr. Zhao were talking respectfully in a low voice, while Zhao Kai's three younger sisters gathered with Mrs. Zhao and chatted quietly. As for the juniors, they gathered together and chatted, waiting for the noon banquet to begin.
Mr. Zhao glanced at Zhao Kai and suddenly pointed at his granddaughter Zhao Shuyu, who was sitting alone in the corner of the sofa thoughtfully. He smiled lightly and said, "Boss, Shuyu seems to be in a low mood. What's the matter? It's a personal problem.
Still not resolved?"
Zhao Kai frowned, looked at Zhao Shuyu, and said in a low voice, "Dad, no matter what she is, this child has such a strong personality. It was her mother who pampered her, and she is still in a bad state now!..."
Among the grandsons of the Zhao family, only Zhao Shuyu is unmarried. Her marriage has become a major problem for the Zhao family. It is difficult for Zhao Kai and his wife to have heirs. With such a daughter, it is inevitable that she will be spoiled.
, blindly followed her personal wishes and did not force her to find a partner and start a family.
But seeing her running towards her thirties day by day, Zhao Kai thought that he was lying if he said he was not in a hurry.
Zhao Kai's wife Zhang Qin came over with a smile and said, "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense. I think Shuyu has something on her mind when she comes back from Binhai this time... I heard from the third girl of the Feng family that she has fallen in love with the next one.
The county magistrate...no, she just came back and was eager to rush over. If it hadn't been for your birthday today, she might have left today."
Mr. Zhao was startled, then frowned and said, "The county magistrate of the next county?"
Zhang Qin laughed again and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, I had a private talk with Shuyu last night, and she seemed a little worried... It seemed that she was worried that her family would not agree..."
"What's going on with the other party? Tell me about it. If the conditions are right, the personal quality is decent, the main thing is that the character is good and reliable, and even if the family conditions are slightly worse, I don't think it can't be considered. After all, Shuyu is a child of this age.
Now that we are young, it is not easy to meet someone who meets our eyes." Mr. Zhao pondered for a moment and expressed his attitude.
"Dad, I asked someone to find out. This young man's conditions are pretty good. His name is Zhou Nan. He is a top student at the Guanghua School of Management of Beijing University. At the age of 26 or 27, he has already become the county magistrate of a poor county in Binhai Province.
It's not easy. Before entering politics, I also ran a company called Feiteng Group... But the family conditions are poor. I heard that his father is the police chief of the city below and is currently relegating to the second line. His mother is a teacher.
, my family background is quite innocent."
Zhang Qin smiled and said softly, glancing at his daughter again.
Zhao Kai frowned after hearing his wife's words. He seemed to have heard the name Zhou Nan somewhere, and he felt something was not right.
"Oh? With your own efforts, you became the county magistrate before you were thirty? What a talent." Mr. Zhao was a little surprised, "It sounds pretty good... Well, since Shuyu likes it, then encourage her to talk to her first
Let’s date for a while, and then when the time comes, bring it back and let me check it out!”
After hearing what Mr. Zhao said, Zhang Qin was overjoyed and kept thanking Mr. Zhao on behalf of his daughter.
What kind of family is the Zhao family? The marriage of the children of the Zhao family almost has to go through a "political review", at least the old man must pass it. Zhang Qin is very anxious about his daughter's marriage. He wants to help his daughter "advance it", but he is afraid
I encountered an obstacle here with Mr. Zhao, so I deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Mr. Zhao today.
With Mr. Zhao's permission, she can use the banner to make tiger skins.
Of course, this also had an important relationship with the news she got from Feng Zhishan. Feng Zhishan told her worriedly that the young man Zhao Shuyu fell in love with already had a fiancée who was about to get married, and she was Lan Ruo, the granddaughter of the Lan family in Hong Kong.
Feng Zhishan's original intention was to ask Zhang Qin, an elder, to persuade Zhao Shuyu not to let Zhao Shuyu continue to "go to the dark side", but unexpectedly Zhang Qin did not take it seriously.
Zhang Qin is indeed worried about her daughter's marriage. In her opinion, once a woman reaches her thirties, it is difficult to find a suitable partner. Zhao Shuyu is on the verge of such a danger. Moreover, Zhao Shuyu's personal name
, as a mother, she knows best that her eyes are higher than her head, and there are not many men she can like, and once she likes him, it is difficult to change.
Out of great concern for his daughter and the selfishness of a mother in the world, Zhang Qin consciously avoided the fact that Zhao Shuyu fell in love with a "married man" and kept giving psychological hints to himself: As long as he is not married yet,
It’s nothing…both sides still have a chance to choose!
It must be said that, to a certain extent, the mother and daughter's surnames are somewhat similar.
Seeing her daughter's troubles, she became anxious and gradually came up with the idea of secretly pushing her.
*************************************** For Zhou Nan of Ningshan County, it has been a busy time recently.
It's overwhelming.
Since arriving in Ningshan County, several projects he has promoted have been put into operation, and the benefits will be seen by the end of the year, whether it is economic benefits, people's livelihood benefits, or personal political benefits.
The scale of the market logistics park is constantly expanding, and surrounding merchants are flocking to it. Related supporting facilities are under construction in full swing. It is estimated that Ningshan County will become a market logistics distribution center in central and southern Binhai Province in less than half a year.
The garment industrial park project has also been put into production. Due to the huge strength of Feiteng Group, this project has invested heavily from the beginning and has employed more than a thousand local laborers.
The ecological agriculture and eco-tourism projects in Kaoshan Village invested by Sky Group have also entered the harvest period. The county government has specially established an ecological project office, with deputy county magistrate Gong Xiangyang serving as the director to personally coordinate and implement ecological projects. Under the promotion of Gong Xiangyang
, the county has cooperated with some travel agencies in the province and across the country, and relevant tourist routes are in trial operation.
At the same time, the one-million-ton steel project in cooperation with Hong Kong Xinsheng Company has also entered the substantial construction stage and is expected to be put into operation around May Day next year.
Recently, Zhao Shuyu's Jinghua Guosheng Investment Company came to invest in the county. The cooperation framework agreement has been signed and the actual project operations are in progress. In the past two days, Zhao Shuyu, the president of Guosheng Company, personally led people to sit in Ningshan and visit the county government.
With Ax's strong cooperation, the project progressed quickly.
It should be said that the above-mentioned projects will write a colorful chapter of political achievements for Zhou Nan's term as county magistrate, and at the same time lay a good foundation for the future sustainable development of Ningshan County, a poor county. It can be said that Ningshan County must
The poverty-stricken county will be removed within a year, if the county is willing.
Whether now or in the future, the name Zhou Nan will be deeply remembered in the development history of Ningshan County. It can be said that without Zhou Nan, there would be no today and a bright future for Ningshan County.
Therefore, Zhou Nan's prestige in Ningshan County reached its peak. In a sense, the cadres and masses of Ningshan County respected Zhou Nan more than they respected Sun Xiang, the county party secretary.
......... There was less than half a month left before the National Day. Haidu's phone calls came one after another, and his mother Yue Ping even made several calls a day urging him to go back. Zhou Nan thought over and over again and decided to ignore Guosheng Company.
No matter how the project is progressing, they all set off back to Haidu the day after tomorrow to prepare for the wedding.
Regarding his wedding, he had already asked for leave in advance from the relevant leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the relevant municipal departments. He also communicated with Sun Xiang, Secretary of the County Party Committee.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan picked up the phone and called Sun Xiang, "Secretary Sun, this is Zhou Nan."
"Haha, Comrade Zhou Nan, I guess you are going back to Haidu to prepare for the wedding, right?" Sun Xiang laughed on the other end of the phone, "I feel like you should lose your composure... Okay, there are matters in the county.
I'll bear with you, so you can go with peace of mind. Work is important, but personal life-long events are also important. Don't let Director Lan think that we cadres don't understand human feelings..."
"Haha, Secretary Sun, I will leave the day after tomorrow. As for Zheng Ax, I will ask Lao Gong to report to Secretary Sun diligently..." Zhou Nan said directly without being polite.
"No problem, feel free to go. On the day of the wedding, I will bring comrades from the county to support you. No matter how you say it, we can be considered your natal family, haha!" Sun Xiang laughed and chatted casually with Zhou Nan.
After a few words, he hung up the phone.
......... Zhou Nan put down the phone and went back to his residence to pack his things. But in the afternoon, secretary Zhu Yong came over and said that he had a call from the provincial party committee office and asked him to call Song Qiang, the secretary of provincial party secretary Zhou Xiaolin immediately.
Make a phone call.
Zhou Nan was a little surprised. Song Qiang, the secretary of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin, came to him. It was obviously related to Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou, so... Zhou Nan thought about it and dialed Song Qiang's number with his mobile phone, according to the number written down by Zhu Yong.
Song Qiang was very polite and didn't say much. He just said that Secretary Zhou had something to ask him and asked him to hurry up and come to the province.
