When Ye Kai came back from the old man's place, he rolled half a catty of tea leaves.
It would be fine if it were ordinary tea, but this is the best special mercury Dahongpao. Only a few kilograms of it are produced in a year. Basically all of it goes into the mainland and cannot be seen on the market at all.
Mr. Ye himself doesn't like drinking tea very much, so it would be a waste to leave this thing with him.
When they happened to meet him, Ye Kai himself was of course not polite and even the tea box was swept away.
When he returned home, his father and mother were actually there, which surprised Ye Kai.
"Dad, Mom..." Ye Kai greeted honestly and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Father Ye Ziping is only forty years old. He is handsome and powerful, sitting there and watching TV.
Her mother, Meng Zhaohua, also comes from a well-known family. She is thirty-eight years old and looks like she is in her early thirties. There are no traces of the years on her face. Although the Meng family is not a wealthy political family, it is a scholarly family and a large family.
Nowadays, there are people in business, politics, and academics. They are much more prosperous than the Ye family.
"Why did you come back so late? Well, what did you bring?" Zi Ping saw what was in Ye Kai's hand and asked casually.
"Grandpa called me to eat and rolled his tea leaves back." Ye Kai took out the tea box and put it on the coffee table.
Ziping stood up as soon as he saw it, and said in shock, "How did the old man's top-quality Dahongpao get into your hands?"
Then he realized, "You went to Ouchi?!"
"The old man sent a car to pick me up. I also met Comrade Fang He and then had dinner at grandpa's place." Ye Kai replied.
"Are you causing trouble? No, if you are causing trouble, how can I keep you to eat? And I also brought you to see Comrade Fang He..." Ziping was also confused in his heart, not knowing what happened.
But no matter what, the tea is indeed the best Dahongpao from the old man. Ye Ziping has seen the tea box many times and it is too familiar. It’s just that the old man doesn’t like tea himself, but he will never give the tea away. Although Ye Ziping is very familiar with it,
The old man was very angry about the tea, but he never thought that he could take it for himself.
This kind of thing is something that Ye Kai, a grandson, can think about.
Naturally, Ye Kai did not dare to tell anyone about his conspiracy with the second old man Ye Xiangkun, nor did he dare to talk to Ye Ziping about his relationship with Zhong Liyu. He just reasoned that the old man missed his grandson, so Ye Kai entered the palace.
matter.
Ye Ziping did not doubt Ye Kai's words, but after hearing about Comrade Fang He's visit, he couldn't help but think more about it, "Some people in the department did go too far, and it is inevitable that Comrade Fang He would be angry."
"It's better that you don't get involved in this kind of thing." Meng Zhaohua said from the side.
Ye Ziping chuckled and said, "I'm basically marginalized now. I just do some specific work. I don't have a say in the overall situation. But it's okay, so I don't have to be caught in the middle."
If he had switched to any other department, Ye Ziping would not have felt so embarrassed. However, it was the propaganda department, the mouthpiece of public opinion, which played a huge role. People from all walks of life were watching closely. As a member of the old Ye family,
The representative here, the tendency of flat leaves, is naturally also very important.
But in this sensitive period, what can Ye Ziping say? The old Ye family's consistent stance must always be maintained. This has been set by the old man and cannot be changed.
This country needs not only reformers and conservatives, but also centrists.
The disease of the so-called neutrals is not that they don't care about anything or have no attitude, but that they are a stabilizing force. They are people who do things concretely. Only with them can the entire political system run smoothly and not be affected by political opinions.
The dispute caused great turmoil.
Comrade Fang He and Comrade Chu Feng control the direction of the entire ship, while the neutral faction represented by the old Ye family is the powerful driving force to ensure that the ship continues to move forward.
Ye Kai thought about this problem and couldn't help but sigh secretly. It's not easy for everyone.
"Dad, since you are not happy with the publicity, why not go out and take a look, or it is easier to achieve results locally, why bother with them here, fighting a lawsuit?" Ye Kai suddenly asked Ye Ziping.
Made a suggestion.
"What do children talk nonsense about adults' affairs?" Meng Zhaohua knocked Ye Kai on the head, and then said to Ye Ziping, "But Xiao Kai's words are not unreasonable. Your conditions are to let him out as a provincial governor.
, it’s not a big problem.”
"The old man may not agree." Although Ziping was a little moved, he still shook his head.
Ye Zipingshou occupied the position of deputy minister in the Propaganda Department, which naturally had the meaning of the old man. After all, the importance of the propaganda system is self-evident. Even if you cannot master this weapon, you should still have the awareness to participate.
, it is impossible to completely abandon this position.
Although Ye Ziping is relatively low-key in the Propaganda Department now, it is because the vital interests of the old Ye family are not involved. Otherwise, his position as deputy minister is naturally not for nothing and he can always play some role.
Regarding this issue, Ye Kai himself also has some opinions. If he stays in the Propaganda Department for the time being, it would be better to keep a low profile. After all, the general trend is still on the side of the conservatives. There is no need to be too confrontational with them, even if it can
Although praised by reformists, the ratio of investment and return may not be satisfactory.
However, if Ye Ziping were to go out and go to the local level, he could let go and take action. Demonstrating his political stance with practical actions would actually be easier for people to accept and win their trust.
Ye Ziping's basic conditions are very good. As his son, Ye Kai certainly hopes that he can do something big. After all, his eldest uncle and second uncle are both serving in the military. If the old Ye family does not want to transform into a military family, then it must be seen
Dad Ye Ziping behaved well.
Judging from the current situation, even Comrade Fang He has to be controlled by the Propaganda Department in Beijing and cannot express his own voice. There is not much meaning for Ye Ziping to stay here. This situation cannot be changed in the short term.
Staying in the Propaganda Department is not only a lot of troubles, but also has no good development opportunities. It is better to go out and do some practical things, which will be more conducive to Ye Ziping's development.
Regarding Mr. Ye's persuasion work, Ye Kai thought about it. He definitely doesn't have enough weight now, but he will be more confident when he waits until the war between the United States and Iran starts and he makes a big profit in the oil futures market.
.
Although the old man hopes that his father will take root in the propaganda system and play some role, compared with the overall situation of the Ye family, the development prospects after going abroad are brighter.
At this time, Ye Ziping stayed in the Propaganda Department, just waiting for a price and waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
