Zhou Hongjian led Duan Zetao into the courtyard, and when he was about to go up the steps, he stopped again. When Duan Zetao caught up, he coldly warned: "The chief is not in good health and cannot be excited. You will report to the chief later."
Be careful...".
Duan Zetao is disgusted with Zhou Hongjian's aloof appearance. As someone who is close to the leader, he will naturally be flattered by others wherever he goes. But the more this happens, the more you should maintain a humble attitude, because it is actually the leader that others respect, not the leader.
You, and any of your actions are likely to be criticized by others
Wang Xianguo did a good job in misinterpreting it as the attitude of the leader, but his reminder was correct. Mr. Jiang is already in his eighties. If Duan Zetao is still as straightforward as usual, he will really be pissed off.
, then the sin was serious, so I nodded and agreed.
Zhou Hongjian walked to a study room, knocked on the door lightly, and walked in. A white-haired old man was sitting quietly at the desk, seeming to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but the violent rise and fall of his chest betrayed his mood.
, obviously at this time, his heart was not as calm as his appearance. There was a water stain on the carpet on the study floor, and a torn teacup, with broken porcelain pieces flying everywhere. It can be imagined that Mr. Jiang must have smashed it in a rage.
Broken.
"Chief, Duan Zetao is already here!" Zhou Hongjian bowed and said cautiously. Mr. Jiang hummed softly, but still didn't open his eyes. Zhou Hongjian bent down and was about to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and clean them.
After cleaning up, Mr. Jiang waved his hand and motioned for him to go out first. Zhou Hongjian had no choice but to stand up, retreat to the door and close the door before going out.
Duan Zetao and Mr. Jiang were the only two people left in the study. Mr. Jiang still closed his eyes and meditated without saying a word. Duan Zetao couldn't speak either. Mr. Jiang didn't let Duan Zetao sit down, so Duan Zetao had to stand still.
The study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
If Duan Zetao was still a little nervous before seeing Mr. Jiang, now he was completely calm. He asked himself that he had done nothing wrong, so what was there to be upset about? Seeing that Mr. Jiang did not speak, he was not anxious.
, looking straight ahead, he began to silently observe the environment of the study and the old man in front of him who had extraordinary influence on Chinese politics.
The decoration of this study is not luxurious, it is even a bit simple. There are a few bookshelves, a desk, a coffee table, and a few wicker chairs. The only thing that can be considered luxurious is an old wool carpet in front of the coffee table. The color is a little faded.
Yes, some
The fur is also a little worn in places, obviously it has been aged for some time, but there are many books, including old thread-bound volumes and modern tomes. Many of the books have rough edges. Apparently the owner of the study often reads them rather than reading them.
Arty furnishings.
Duan Zetao, the old man in front of me, had often seen him on the Central News Network when he was very young. At that time, he was always smiling and in high spirits, either receiving foreign guests or going down to the grassroots to talk cordially with ordinary people. His voice was always
So strong and powerful
, his demeanor is always so calm and steady, with a kind of majesty that is not angry, but at this time, he has gray hair, thin cheeks, slightly wrinkled brows, livid face, drooped eyelids, and a trace of
He was tired. Obviously Jiang Zilong's incident had a great impact on him.
After a long time, Mr. Jiang slowly opened his eyes. There was a flash of light in his eyes, but it was surprisingly sharp, as if he could see your heart at once, and a pressure came to him. Duan Zetao still stood calmly.
Literally, eyes pure.
"You are the direct grandson of the Xiao family?! Why is your surname not Xiao but Duan?!..." Mr. Jiang glanced at Duan Zetao and asked slowly.
Duan Zetao answered truthfully, neither humble nor arrogant: "It was my grandfather's intention not to let me change my surname and continue to use my original surname. He said that my father and I were both raised by the Duan family, and we should never forget our roots...".
Mr. Jiang nodded and sighed: "Your grandpa is right, you can't forget your roots. Now our country has become rich and powerful, and people's lives have gotten better, but many fine traditions have been lost, especially some of our leading cadres.
, became an official, but forgot his roots!...".
Duan Zetao couldn't answer the question. Mr. Jiang pointed to the wicker chair beside him and said: "Sit down, your grandfather has a hot temper. You are not old, but you are very calm. Now you are so calm."
There are not many young people left. When I was your age, I was not as good as you.
, Your grandfather and I had different political views back then, and we often argued about work matters. Now that I think about it, it is completely unnecessary. Your grandfather has passed away, and I am old. I will have to see Marx soon. Is it possible to go underground?
Are you still going to quarrel with your grandpa?!...".
Duan Zetao opened his mouth and wanted to say, Chief, you are not old, how can I compare with you, but Mr. Jiang seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, waved his hands and sighed: "I am not as good as your grandfather in one thing, he gave birth to a baby
Good grandson, there is a successor to the Xiao family!...".
Why did Mr. Jiang call him here, but didn't mention anything about Jiang Zilong, and instead started a family affair with him? Duan Zetao felt a little beat up in his heart, and couldn't answer the conversation. He couldn't say that it was wrong for Mr. Jiang to praise him, so he could only endure it.
Just sit there and listen.
Jiang Zilong glanced at Duan Zetao again, shook his head and said: "You are old after all. When you start nagging, you will be verbose. You young people must not like to hear it. I called you here today because I want to ask about Jiang Zilong.
, I heard that you and Jiang Zilong have known each other for a long time?! There have always been some conflicts between you?!..." He said, looking at Duan Zetao with burning eyes to see how he would respond.
Duan Zetao's heart trembled. It was obvious that what Mr. Jiang said just now was just a preparation for questioning at this time. This was the real purpose of his coming to Duan Zetao. If Duan Zetao said that he had no conflict with Jiang Zilong, he would be deceiving the national leaders.
If Duan Zetao said he had a conflict with Jiang Zilong, then his investigation and punishment of Jiang Zilong would be a public revenge. Could it be said that Mr. Jiang wants to excuse Jiang Zilong?!
Thinking of this, Duan Zetao said sternly: "Chief, Mr. Jiang and I have known each other for a long time, and there have been some minor frictions, but I will never abandon public service for personal reasons, and I have no intention of targeting Mr. Jiang..." Duan Zetao said
He told Jiang Zilong everything from the first meeting to the subsequent conflicts, and then talked about the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group and all the evil deeds he knew about Jiang Zilong.
When Duan Zetao was telling the story, Mr. Jiang did not interrupt and just listened silently with an expressionless face. However, out of the corner of Duan Zetao's eye, he noticed that the veins on Mr. Jiang's forehead were beating violently. He was obviously very excited. Duan Zetao felt anxious in his heart.
There is no bottom. Most of the elderly people's heart function is not very good. If something goes wrong with this excitement, I can't afford it, so my voice gradually weakens.
