218. The Third Way
According to legend, Wu Zixu passed the Zhao Pass and became white-headed overnight.
Zuo Qingfeng always thought that it was just a folk chisel association, and it couldn't be true. Seeing his father's appearance, he believed it a little.
Zuo Yujiang was born and raised in Tiannan. Climb all the way and sit in the seat of Executive Vice Governor. In the eyes of ordinary people, of course, it can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, and it is a model of success.
However, the heart is like a desire, and the soil is difficult to fill. Especially in the past few years when he was promoted to the general manager, seeing that he was only a line away from that position, but he couldn't cross it, he could imagine his mood.
"So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Qingfeng, do you say he refuses to pass, or does he not dare to pass?" Zuo Yujiang stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the plum tree in the courtyard, and said abruptly.
This is the Standing Committee building of the Provincial Party Committee, compared with Ma Tianze's house, the location is slightly back, but it is much cleaner. The old plum tree in the courtyard was transplanted from his old house by Yan Yongzheng when he just moved in seven years ago.
In fact, it is dark outside now, where can I see what plum clearly, at best, it is just a shadow.
Zuo Qingfeng sighed secretly in his heart and said slowly, "Whether you don't dare, or you don't want to, the ending is the same." The trend of the times is beyond the power of manpower. Dad still looks at it, and when he goes to southern Yunnan, he has fewer scruples, and maybe there is another world. ”
Zuo Yujiang looked at his son with some surprise, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Zuo Qingfeng saw that his father was still depressed, so he deliberately made him happy, and said with a smile, "Dad, speaking of this, I remembered that a few days ago, Cai Zhao had a full birthday, and someone actually ordered a farewell concubine from the overlord." Ha ha. Many people present at the time were stunned. As a result, the play has not yet been sung, but it really responded to the scene and never returned. You say it's funny, no. Hehe. ”
Zuo Yujiang didn't feel funny, and said lightly, "Do you know who ordered that scene?"
The corners of Zuo Qingfeng's mouth twitched, as if he was sarcastic, and said with a smile, "It's nothing more than the person behind Cai Zhaoxian." Hmph, what is sung in the play is that loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, and the martyrs do not marry the second husband. But what kind of virtue does he have? It's just a matter of covering his ears and stealing the bell. ”
Zuo Yujiang turned his face to look at his son, who was tall in his eyebrows, and sighed, "What's the use of being smart?" With your arrogant and self-righteous nature, if I am not around, I may not be angry. Li Qingzhao's two sentences were originally told to you, and I thought you understood, but it turned out to be the same as Zhao Kuo, but it was just talk on paper. Your Lao Tzu immediately obeyed the ear, and after a long time, he still used you to comfort him?
He shook his head, frowned and said, "That drama was ordered by Cai Zhaoxian himself." He used a metaphor for people and compared himself to Yu Ji. Those two sentences you said were correct, but they were meant to be heard by others. Also, don't talk nonsense if you don't have a basis. If you can't even control your own mouth, what can you do?" After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at a small brightly lit building in the distance.
This small building was previously reserved for Chen Gongcheng. However, his wife and children did not follow him to Dragon City, so they did not move in. I heard that the new governor Man Hongming came with his family and temporarily lived in the guest house of the Tiannan Provincial Party Committee. Therefore, in the past few days, Lin Xiangbei, the secretary general of the provincial government, has personally supervised the formation, and has been busy in the small building every day until dawn.
"I ordered it yourself? Unexpectedly, Cai Zhaoxian was also a little anxious. It's a pity ......" Zuo Qingfeng didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts, shook his head and smiled.
"Tonight, do you know why I didn't let you go?" Zuo Yujiang diverted the topic, turned around and slowly walked to the sofa, sat down slowly, and said.
"It should be related to the temporary change of mind of the single family. Zuo Qingfeng saw that his father's question was serious, and he didn't dare to answer casually.
"A single bean can't represent a single family. Zuo Yujiang leaned back and said with his eyes closed.
Zuo Qingfeng knew that his father had the intention of taking the test, so he lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said cautiously, "Could it be because of that kid? Father is worried that he will stand up for Zhi Xiaoting and anger Secretary Hua?"
Zuo Yujiang suddenly opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and sighed, "It's rare that you can think of this step." ”
"The single family is different from us. There is a smoke-free city with the gold medal of avoiding death on the head, as long as you don't cross the line, you can keep your family safe. The general trend is in hand, and they can do their best to meet the source, as clear as well water. Therefore, Shan Hui dared to take this matter as a topic and consider Ren Kai. He wants to let the kid choose for himself, and at the same time let others see. ”
"And we...... , hehe, Qingshui does not raise fish. For thousands of years, there was only one Hai Jui. ”
"In the final analysis, the root is still in Zhi Xiaoting. Dealing with an old official like Long Xiaonian, he actually dared to be careless and leave a handle. I'm afraid I'm sad when I look at him at this level. If that kid doesn't measure his own strength and takes the liberty of interfering, there is a great possibility that he will fail. ”
However, this is also what Shan Hui wants to see. Let him choose the road by himself, whether to walk or kneel, he can't complain about others. The single family has changed him for half his life. Hehe, the knife cuts the tofu on both sides, and the abacus is indeed good. ”
After Zuo Yujiang finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, but he didn't know whether to praise or sigh.
"Half a lifetime?" Zuo Qingfeng repeated with some strange thoughts.
"Since that kid and Shan Doudou have a personal relationship, it is a matter of time before the child is born. And Shan Hui only wanted a small lintel. Ren Kai's father is expensive with his son, but he can only be a slave, and he does his best to contribute to the death of the single family. What is this not half a lifetime?" Zuo Yujiang blinked his eyes and sneered.
In that case, he can stand by and watch. Why bother to put yourself in it for the sake of others. I don't think he's the kind of pedantic false Taoism. Zuo Qingfeng shook his head and said, obviously having reservations about his father's opinion.
"He can't retreat! Zhi Xiaoting is just an introduction, if he is left alone, the next one is Guo Jianjun, Yu Donglai, and even himself. Besides, there is also the woman of the Huangfu family who is unwilling to be lonely up and down. "Zuo Yujiang was very interested in talking tonight, probably because he felt too uncomfortable watching chess and not speaking.
Zuo Qingfeng pondered for a long time, slowly shook his head and said, "Dad, although I don't know how he will choose. There must be a third way, though. ”
Zuo Yujiang smiled slightly, quite pleased, and said, "No matter what, you are right to think so." That's why Dad asked you to show off the emperor. If this matter is really as you expected, Dad will ask Yu Dong for a favor, and you will go to be his secretary for a few years. How?"
Zuo Qingfeng hesitated, nodded with a smile and said, "I'm afraid he won't." ”
Zuo Yujiang didn't hear this, he looked out the window in a daze, and muttered to himself, "The news that Zhi Xiaoting was controlled should also be passed over." The bell rang, but I didn't know how he would answer. ”
In the courtyard, Li Cheng just put down the phone, looked at Ren Kai in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.
Ren Kai was a little strange and smiled, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Li Cheng took a long breath, his face was embarrassed, and it took a long time before he said, "Zhi Xiaoting was taken away." ”
Ren Kai was taken aback, frowned, and said, "In terms of procedure, it's a little sloppy." Could it be that he is involved in something else?"
Li Cheng nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it was Li Shuilong's real-name report." ”
Li Shuilong?
Ren Kai was in a trance for a while, if Li Cheng hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten what this former secretary of Long Xiaonian and the second-in-command of the Longcheng Land and Real Estate Bureau looked like.
It's only been four months, but I always feel like four years have passed.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Long Xiaonian to also have a back hand. Ren Kai looked at the bare grape trellis with half-squinted eyes and said with a smile.
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment and sighed, "I thought you should at least ask for what reason you took Zhi Xiaoting away." ”
Ren Kai stomped his feet and said lightly, "No matter what the reason, for me, the result is the same." ”
Li Cheng's face was not very good-looking, stared at him, and said word by word, "Shan Hui's thoughts, I don't believe you can't see it." Sometimes, taking a step back is not necessarily a bad thing. If it's inconvenient for you to come forward, I'll go tell Xiuxiu. ”
Ren Kai looked at Li Cheng with a serious face, and laughed out loud, which really startled him, "What are you doing?"
Ren Kai hurriedly waved his hand and said with a guilty smile, "Third Brother Li, I'm sorry." I'm getting a little out of shape. Hehe. ”
Li Cheng saw the signs, but he couldn't believe it, so he hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked, "Tell me quickly, you must be playing some tricks again." ”
Ren Kai didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and was about to speak. Damn good, his phone vibrate.
It is a landline in the capital.
Ren Kai shook his head at Li Cheng and said softly, "It may be Zhang Heng." ”
Li Cheng was taken aback.
"Hehe, Xiao Kai, I heard it. "Sure enough, it's Zhang Heng.
"Well, I heard that. Mr. Ren Kai smiled and said respectfully.
"Zhi Xiaoting's matter, I can help. In exchange, though, you'll have to help me once, too. ”
"Hehe, sir. Since I promised you that I would not interfere before the year, I would abide by this agreement. Please rest assured, sir. ”
There was a long silence on the phone.
"Even if it's a matter of Zhi Xiaoting, you don't interfere?" Zhang Heng was obviously a little surprised.
"Hehe, please rest assured, sir. Ren Kai repeated again, his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest.
There was silence again.
"Xiao Kai, hehe, it seems that I am indeed old. Thank you for your advice. Alas. With a long sigh, the phone hung up.
Li Cheng naturally heard the conversation between the two.
Before he could ask, Ren Kai had already looked over with a smile and said slowly, "The Shan family, Zhang Heng, and even Zhi Xiaoting himself have forgotten the most fundamental thing. Chen Gongcheng can be where he is today, not only because of his family background. ”
"Long Xiaonian is not simple, but compared to him. The gap cannot be counted in a down-to-earth manner. The so-called back hands left by Long Xiaonian were thrown out at the right time, but they could indeed bring some trouble. But right now, hehe, the old man has just passed away, and his bones are not cold...... This is one of them. ”
Second, although Hua Haitian and Chen Gongcheng have slight differences in the concept of governing Tiannan, the general direction is the same. Don't forget, the idea of a smoke-free city was first proposed by Chen Gongcheng. Since Hua Haitian is willing to go down his path, it means that ...... Hehe. Besides, now that Governor Manchu has just entered Tiannan, it is not enough to talk about unity every day, so how can he dismantle his own platform?"
"Third, Zhi Xiaoting is a very remarkable talent. has Yuan Jiping's strengths, but no other shortcomings. Hua Haitian admired him very much, but because of his status as a secretary before, it was not easy to reveal it too much. This is such a good opportunity to give grace, how can I let it go so easily, hehe, a thousand dollars buy horse bones. Don't be too cost-effective. ”
Ren Kai said and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and said with a smile, "Finally, and the most critical point, Third Brother Li." Whether it is Long Xiaonian or Wang Jiangling. Who are they? Prisoners under the ranks! Considering Secretary Hua's open-mindedness and magnanimity with their open-mindedness, is there any reason to be invincible?"
Li Cheng listened, looked at him strangely, and said in his heart, the first three points are quite reasonable, but the last point is a real sycophant. It's just that the horse shot for no reason. I'm alone nearby, and it's not easy to convey this kind of thing on my behalf.
While he was thinking about it, he heard a voice in the shadows in the direction of the courtyard gate, "That's good." ”
This voice scared the two of them so much that they almost knelt down.
Or Ren Kai reacted a little faster, and trotted in the direction of the courtyard gate, asking as he ran, "Who is where?"
"Don't babble. It's me, Huang Zhongzhong. One man stepped out of the shadows, but listening to the footsteps, someone else was moving away.
Huang Zhongzhong, assistant to the governor and director of the Provincial Development and Reform Bureau.
Ren Kaihu looked at him suspiciously, and asked quietly, "Director Huang came here so late, I don't know ......?"
Li Cheng was even more shocked, pushed Ren Kai, took over the conversation, and said, "The weather is so cold, Governor Huang should go into the house and have a drink." ”
Huang Zhongzhong smiled, ignored Li Cheng, but looked Ren Kai up and down, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, he has unparalleled wisdom." ”
Ren Kai's eyes flashed, grinned, and said, "How can you afford Governor Huang to say this." Come in. ”
He didn't know if the assistant to the governor was considered a governor, but since Li Cheng shouted like this, he must be right.
"Hehe, you don't have to drink. An old friend asked me to pass on a message to you, and the points you just mentioned, except for the third point, which is bastard and completely nonsense, there is some truth in everything else. Huang Zhongzhong smiled and said slowly.
Ren Kai and Li Cheng looked at each other, and they didn't know how to interface for a while.
"Buzzing" Huang Zhongzhong's mobile phone vibrate.
"Yes. Good. Secretary Hua. Ren Kai, Secretary Hua's phone. Think about it carefully, don't talk nonsense. Huang Zhongzhong handed over the phone with a smile.
Li Cheng swallowed his saliva, and watched Ren Kai talk to his "old friend" with a smile, like falling into a dream, but he always felt that something was wrong.
