"Dad, you think I don't know that Lao Qiu just wants to light up the cold stove. Of course, your stove is cold on the surface, but it's hot secretly. But in the eyes of people who don't understand the market, isn't it?
Becoming a cold stove? My heart is bright,
After all, I have been involved in the officialdom for many years. Those who approach me with special purposes have some tricks up their sleeves. I can see clearly without even looking at them. But Lao Qiu is a good person and very loyal.
It’s worth handing over.”
"No, they invited me to climb Cuiping Mountain over the weekend. They said that there was a new Cantonese opera star there who wanted to invite me to open my eyes. I wanted to refuse, but they were so kind that I couldn't refuse, so I agreed.
Many friends lead to many paths. Isn’t this what you taught me? I can’t go back on my word and turn my back on you. By the way, you guys will have a lot of fun this weekend.
If anyone is free, I'll call a car and let's go together. The area around Cuiping Mountain is so beautiful now. Xiao Xue has the ability. Several barren mountains that have been neglected by no one in these years have turned into a golden mountain in his hands.
Yinshan, is it possible that Peking University also teaches business majors? Tsk tsk, I’ll go in and study tomorrow..."
It can be said that the Zhou family has always had a very strict family tradition, and Zhou Daoqian is the absolute authority in the family. When he is at home, Zhou Bin is as afraid of Zhou Daoqian as a mouse is when it sees a cat.
In the past, Mr. Zhou would never go home after drinking, and would wait until he sobered up before wandering back home. But today's situation was different. He was so eager to know the future development of the old man that he forgot about it before arriving at the door of his house.
His tongue seemed to flicker and he talked endlessly.
He was as courageous as a drunken rat, holding a wine bottle and shouting "Where's the cat?"
Little did he know that his ugly behavior fell into the eyes of Zhou Daoqian, and Secretary Zhou's anger level instantly climbed to its peak.
No, before he finished speaking, Zhou Daoqian ran away violently. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the feather duster and came towards Zhou Bin.
Alcohol not only strengthened Zhou Bin's courage, but also numbed his nerves.
Normally when Zhou Daoqian gets angry, Zhou Bin would have already taken a step and run out of the door first. This time, when he saw Zhou Daoqian swing his big stick, Mr. Zhou remained dumbfounded and didn't move.
Zhou Lin and Jia Chun were anxious. They wanted to step forward to stop Zhou Daoqian, who was coming in anger. They reached out and opened the door and pushed Zhou Bin out. Otherwise, seeing the old man's momentum today, it might not be possible.
Just have to
Unexpectedly, the door opened, and a handsome young man stood outside. Seeing the person coming, Jia Chun blurted out: "Mayor Xue!" His voice was full of surprise.
Jia Chun shouted, and suddenly everyone in the room seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, and everyone froze in place, as if they were frozen.
Zhou Daoqian was the first to wake up. He picked up the feather duster and threw it on the sofa not far away. He smiled and said: "Chun'er, why are you blocking the door? Why don't you invite Mayor Xue to come in?"
Jia Chun then stepped aside, but his eyes seemed to have sprouted stars, staring intently at Xue Xiang's face. His delicate face was as swollen as a ripe apple.
Xue Laosan smiled and said: "Secretary Zhou, please excuse me. I have heard that my sister-in-law's home-cooked food is very good. I have always wanted to try it. I have free time today, so I took the liberty to come. Don't blame me. Of course, you blame me. I won't leave at noon.
Okay, there’s nothing else to add, just add two bottles of wine, it’s a waste of time.”
As he spoke, Xue Laosan shook the two bottles of Wuliang puree in his hand.
Xue Laosan has always been a polite guy. With his prestige in Dejiang today, it is almost always an honor for the host's family to eat at anyone's house, not to mention that Zhou Daoqian is asking for something from him, Xue, and I am afraid that he is very eager to do so.
Xue Laosan has arrived.
But Xue Laosan's words gave the master a lot of face, and he was extremely cordial.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a smile appeared on Zhou Daoqian's face, "Come here, why are you doing this false courtesy? You can come anytime you want to eat. Your sister-in-law is the only one who can bring out these two songs in my house. I can't wait to do it." You are helping to make a name for yourself."
After that, Zhou Daoqian pointed to Zhou Bin again, and Zhou Lin introduced Xue Xiang. This introduction was not just a simple introduction of first and last names, but also a brief introduction to their respective situations.
After the introduction, Xue Xiang said hello to the two of them and extended his hand to shake their hands.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lin, whose face had been flushed red since Xue Xiang walked in, and whose body was motionless against the wall, suddenly ran back to the room like a frightened rabbit with a bright red face. Went there, which made Xue Xiang very embarrassed.
Zhou Daoqian also stared with his old eyes, his anger had no place to vent, he leaned down on Zhou Bin's head, stretched out his legs and kicked his butt hard, "You've been made stupid by two cups of cat urine? Why didn't you reply to your Uncle Xue's words?"
Zhou Bin is indeed stupid!
In his eyes, Xue Xiang is several levels higher than his old father. He is a top figure who can challenge the Nantian King Cai Xingtian. He just heard him call him "Xiao Xue" so familiarly, but it was only in front of his family. Show some face.
But when Xue Xiangxing actually came in front of him, he was as shocked as Ye Gong and was speechless.
Zhou Daoqian just woke up after Zhou Daoqian scolded him, but when he was about to speak, he found that the three words "Uncle Xue" weighed tens of millions of kilograms, and he couldn't spit it out no matter what.
Indeed, in terms of age, Xue Xiang is only two years younger than him. Calling someone younger than himself uncle, unless they are related by blood, I am afraid that no young man can win him.
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "Zhou Bin and I are about the same age, so let's do our own thing."
With that said, Xue Xiang stretched out his hand to Zhou Bin again and said in a deep voice, "Director Zhou, if I remember correctly, today is the day to go to work. Civil servants still have to keep in mind various laws and regulations. You are so drunk." , how can I be on duty in the afternoon shift? If it gets spread, won’t it bring disgrace to the old secretary’s face? Young people should take this as a warning for being greedy and ruining their jobs.”
Xue Laosan actually reprimanded Zhou Bin in front of Zhou Daoqian.
But this reprimand sounded extremely sweet to Zhou Daoqian's ears. Even Jia Chun nodded desperately, as if what Xue Xiang said was the best thing in the world.
After being frightened by this, Zhou Bin woke up completely from the drunkenness. He quickly reached out to catch the big hand extended by Xue Xiang and shook it vigorously. His face was full of panic and he couldn't stop talking.
He and Zhou Bin are about the same age, and Xue Xiang is slightly younger by two years. However, Xue Xiang's words came out clearly, and although he was very old-fashioned, they sounded reasonable to everyone.
Mrs. Zhou also scolded Zhou Bin without saying anything, and finally said that if she dares to drink again in the future, she will tell him Uncle Xue.
After greeting everyone in the Zhou family, Zhou Daoqian led Xue Xiang into the study. He was a discerning person, so he naturally knew why Xue Xiang came here.
To be honest, he was extremely excited about Xue Xiang's arrival this time.
Previously, he stood in front of the window, staring at the floating clouds, and what he was thinking about was Xue Xiang.
In his mind, if Xue Xiang arrives today and proves that this person is as true to the legend as he is true to his promises and honest, and is a person worthy of trust and follow, if he gets an answer in three to five days, then someone in his Zhou family will give him an answer. Considering it, it can’t be considered as being ungrateful.
Unexpectedly, Xue Xiang came at noon. How could such an alliance leader who was willing to consider other people's feelings not be worth dying for?
Indeed, officialdom often only talks about interests and not about kindness, but officials are also human beings, and they have human feelings. Xue Xiang can be such a man, it is no wonder that old foxes like Qi Xi, Meng Jun, and Xie Minggao are willing to do it.
He worked hard and never wavered in the face of strong winds and waves. The young man in front of him was indeed worthy of his death.
After entering the room, Zhou Daoqian led Xue Xiang to sit on the Taishi chair by the window. He divided a pot of Biluochun for Xue Xiang and said straight to the point: "Mayor Xue, I'm afraid I have to change my mind."
When he said these words, his eyes were locked tightly on Xue Xiang's face.
Zhou Daoqian was disappointed. He never saw the slightest surprise on Xue Xiang's face. He only saw him sitting calmly on the chair, picking up the tea cup, drinking tea slowly, and after a long time he put down the cup and said: "Secretary Dao Qian, can you
If you want to think clearly, staying in Shu will inevitably encounter a series of twists and turns. You also know my relationship with that person, and because we are in Dejiang
If you stay in Shuzhong, you will inevitably be targeted by him. If you want to go out, I can help you recommend places like Jianghan, Wuzhong, and southern Fujian. Even if you have other favorite places, I can
I can also help you a little bit, but you have to think carefully. Once you make a decision today, it will be difficult to change it in the future."
Zhou Daoqian took out a pack of red pandas, gave one to Xue Xiang, lit one himself, took a deep breath, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said, "I've nailed my old bones to the middle of Shu. I'll keep them for a long time."
Yes, my feelings for Shuzhong are too deep. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live in another place.
Habit. As for other kinds of retaliation, I am not afraid. I believe that the sky in Sichuan is still shrouded in the glory of the party. It is not anyone’s private empire, nor can anyone do whatever they want. I have this mentality.
Get ready, you don’t need to persuade me."
Zhou Daoqian's voice was very confident, and he didn't seem to be worried about the difficult situation in the future.
Of course, it is not that Zhou Daoqian didn't know what kind of situation he would encounter if he stayed in Shuzhong. Not to mention that he suffered a humiliating defeat at the Standing Committee due to his previous attempt to block Xue Xiang. This can be said to be an indelible stain on Zhou Daoqian's official career.
,
If you continue to stay in Sichuan, this stain will be magnified. Only by traveling far away from other provinces can this stain gradually fade away.
In addition, during this period of time in Dejiang, Mr. Zhou helped Xue Yanei in front of him to fight against the man in the province. With his unyielding temper and domineering attitude that never tolerated resistance, Mr. Zhou
If you stay in Shu, you will almost certainly be attacked and ostracized by that person.
For these two reasons, Zhou Daoqian's decision to stay in Shu seemed to be a major political decision-making mistake.
But is this the real situation? Is Zhou Daoqian, an old political fox, really that stupid?
Of course not!
If we say that from the very beginning, he, Zhou Daoqian, was persuaded by Xue Xiang's use of political interests to use the secretary's veto power at the decisive standing committee meeting organized by Huang Siwen, overturning Huang Siwen's decision. At that time, he, Zhou Daoqian, was really focused on
Sell some of your strength to this annoying Xue Yanei in exchange for a new political life in the future. (To be continued...)
