The next step is the family dinner. It is inconvenient to have a big family dinner together. The boss is at the same table. The family members are not as harmonious as ordinary families. There are no barriers. Instead, they all have their own thoughts. The atmosphere is a bit dull, but Mr. Xiao is in high spirits.
Very high, no
Dr. Gu Jianxin objected and made an exception to drink a small glass of white wine. He made a face to Duan Zetao and said: "Xiao Tao, you have to visit grandpa more often in the future. Grandpa only has wine to drink when you come! They always take care of everything.
I’m not free at all!”.【

Duan Zetao was also amused by Xiao Ming's appearance as an old kid. He felt warm in his heart and suddenly felt that the distance had become much closer. He quickly agreed: "Grandpa, I will definitely come to see you often, but grandpa, you still have to listen to the doctor.
If so, drink less. Doctors are great. Only when your body is healthy, we juniors will feel at ease!"
Xiao Ming chuckled and said: "Okay! Okay! Just one cup, never happen again!" Seeing Xiao Ming being so affectionate to Duan Zetao, Xiao Min and others frowned even more tightly. During the dinner, Xiao Ming asked about Duan Zetao's situation, and Duan Zetao also
Everyone answered truthfully. Everyone heard that Duan Zetao did it at a young age.
The secretary of the municipal party committee of the county-level city was shocked, but Xiao Ming was relieved and laughed heartily: "Our Xiao family has a thousand-mile horse. I will invite all my old comrades here another day."
, let them all see that our old Xiao family is also talented, and make those old immortals angry to death!".
Everyone was shocked again. All of Xiao Ming's old comrades-in-arms were once powerful fathers of the Republic. Although they have all retired, their influence on the country's political situation is still there. Xiao Ming asked Duan Zetao to see them.
By using his own resources to cultivate Duan Zetao, could it be that the old man wants to support Duan Zetao as the future successor of the Xiao family? He became increasingly wary of Duan Zetao.
Zhang Guihua and Duan Xiaoyan had never seen such a big scene before, so they seemed a little reserved. Fortunately, Xiao Kedi was sitting next to them, accompanying them in their daily chores, so they were not too embarrassed. This meal was not fun at all.
Fan Xiaoming asked Xiao Kedi and Duan Zetao to accompany him to the study to chat.
Everyone in the Xiao family knows that Mr. Xiao's study is not accessible casually. Only core members of the family are allowed to enter the study. Everyone looks at Duan Zetao with complicated eyes. In short, they are filled with indescribable envy, jealousy and hatred...
As soon as he entered the study, Xiao Ming seemed to be a different person, with a majestic expression and a wise light in his eyes. He pointed to the rosewood sofa beside him and said: "Xiao Tao, sit down!".
Duan Zetao sat down on the sofa as he was told. The conversation with Mr. Xiao was completely different from the conversation with Mr. Li. Although both of them were high-ranking pillars of the country, talking with Mr. Li felt like sitting on pins and needles and walking on thin ice.
When talking to Mr. Xiao, one can clearly feel the elder's love and concern. Of course, there is also an element of consideration in it, but Duan Zetao still seemed very relaxed.
Xiao Ming looked at Duan Zetao who was sitting there quietly, turned to Xiao Kedi and smiled: "Look, this child's sitting posture is very similar to yours. You follow your mother in both appearance and personality.
This child looks like you, but his personality is a blend of the strengths of your mother and me. He is strong yet soft, soft yet strong, and he will definitely become a great person in the future!"
Xiao Kedi smiled and said: "Xiao Tao is not bad. This time I went to Xinghua, it was completely different from the previous times I went there. The people also spoke highly of Xiao Tao. If they knew that these were all led by the leaders back then,
The grandson of the revolutionary General Xiao did this, don’t you know how happy you should be?!"
The "Jiangnan Uprising" was the most glorious achievement of Xiao Ming's life, and its role in history is almost comparable to the famous "Nanchang Uprising". It was through this uprising that the fire of the Chinese revolution was able to burn brightly, so Xiao Ming
I also have deep feelings for Xinghua,
He sighed: "I have seen all this from the newspaper. The newspaper called it the "Xinghua Miracle." Xiaotao, you have done a good job. Only an official who can really help people live a prosperous life is a good official! You
He has made greater contributions to the people of Xinghua than me!...".
Duan Zetao didn't expect that Mr. Xiao would have such a high opinion of him, so he quickly said in fear: "Grandpa, how can I compare with you...".
Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Why can't we compete? I think you are better than me. I heard that you have a very good relationship with the boy from the old Zhu family. The old man from the Li family also wants to recruit you as his grandson-in-law. I will tell you
It’s not okay to say that this is not possible. How can the grandson of our Lao Xiao family become a son-in-law for someone else’s family? The only way is for the granddaughter of their Lao Li family to marry into our Lao Xiao family!..."
Duan Zetao was sweating profusely. He knew that Mr. Xiao had already figured out his background clearly. Xiao Kedi was also shocked. This was the first time he heard about these situations. He then said with great joy: "This is a great thing.
, If our Xiao family can get the support of the Zhu family and the Li family, then our Xiao family will have enough confidence to speak in the future!..."
Mr. Xiao pointed at Xiao Kedi with his finger and said: "You still don't have enough vision. How can things be so simple? The two immortals of the Zhu family and the Li family are not so easy to get along with. Besides, once other families see
When we show signs of joining forces, they will definitely unite to attack us, which will result in more losses than gains. So Xiaotao can continue to maintain good relations with the two families, but he cannot get too close. It is best to maintain the status quo..."
"Xiao Tao, those friends you have abroad can be a great help to you if you use them well, but if you don't handle them well, they may put you in a desperate situation, so you must handle them carefully and never get too close.
And those women of yours
You must also make proper arrangements. Your current status is not high enough. It is easy for people to criticize you and make a fuss about it..." Mr. Xiao's words simply made Duan Zetao's hair stand on end. What secrets does he have that Mr. Xiao doesn't know about?
?
Duan Zetao didn't know that Mr. Xiao was the top person in charge of the military intelligence agency before he retired and was directly responsible to the No. 1 chief. If he wanted to know, someone would report to him the color of the underwear Duan Zetao wore every day. But the matter involved
He had to argue with Jiang Xiaoxue and the others, and said firmly: "Grandpa, I will never leave Xiaoxue and the others. They are all very important to me. Even if I no longer serve as an official, I will never give up on them!
”.
Xiao Ming took a deep look at Duan Zetao, shook his head and said: "You are really a passionate seed. Excellent men always have unfinished affairs, but the fact that you value them so much also shows that you are not a heartless person."
Man, this is good. A man must be brave enough to act! Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to leave them. I’m just asking you to
Arrange properly. Among those women, the granddaughter of the Li family is the most suitable to be your spouse. For the other women, I mean you can get them all to go abroad. Then I will help you find their own identities. You
You can use this identity to find a country that is not monogamous and register your marriage with them, which also counts as giving an account to them!..."
Duan Zetao never expected that his grandfather would consider him so carefully. This also solved the big problem that had been choking in his heart. He had always been fighting alone. This was the first time that he felt the care and warmth of his elders. He was moved and said: "Grandpa
, thank you for being so considerate for me. My grandson is unworthy and I have made you worry so much!..."
Xiao Ming waved his hand and said: "You have now reached a very important point in your official career. You have political achievements and abilities, but what you lack are qualifications and vision. So I want you to go to the Central Party School for further studies and live a better life."
After being released in a year and a half, you will be a department-level cadre. Once you pass this hurdle, you will be able to soar into the sky!"
"Now you have been included in the Red Successor Plan A. If we intervene too much, it will be detrimental to you. Everything has to rely on your own efforts. We will mobilize family resources to give you the necessary help. Your journey has been too smooth.
You have not experienced any setbacks, which will be very detrimental to you if you want to enter the center of the country in the future."
"Over in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Qiang is likely to be transferred to other provinces to serve as provincial party committee secretary in the next term. You must be mentally prepared. Although Zhao Xiangyang appreciates you very much now, he has always been the most focused on balancing interests. If you
Once you cross the threshold of the department level and enter the deputy provincial level, he will probably suppress you, and the road ahead will become increasingly difficult..." Xiao Ming did not hesitate to use his many years of political experience to
Wisdom Words carefully analyzes Duan Zetao's growth path.
Not only Duan Zetao, but even Xiao Kedi was stunned by the shocking news thrown out by Xiao Ming. The Red Successor Plan A. Doesn't this mean that Duan Zetao has entered the reserve team of future national leaders? It also means that Duan Zetao's every move
They are all under the attention of national leaders. If you make one wrong step, you may fall into a place of eternal destruction. No wonder Mr. Xiao said so solemnly.
Duan Zetao was completely confused and could not digest this shocking news for a while. Xiao Ming patted his shoulder lovingly and said: "My child, I'm really sorry for you. You have to bear so much pressure at such a young age.
Regarding your life experience, I
I think it’s better not to disclose it to the public for now. This will put more pressure on you. No matter your surname is Duan or Xiao, it can’t change the fact that you are a descendant of our Xiao family! You go out and have a rest first. Your second uncle and I will
Let’s discuss something more!”.
Duan Zetao walked out of the study in a daze. The conversation with Xiao Ming opened another door for him, which made him a little confused and at a loss. Suddenly he heard noise coming from the banquet hall, and he ran over quickly.
Then I saw Xiao Min's son Chen Xianzhi pointing at his mother Zhang Guihua and yelling insults. Zhang Guihua stood there helplessly with tears in her eyes. Her sister Duan Xiaoyan protected her mother behind her and argued loudly...
