If the entire Song family put on a posture of watching the fire from the other side, others would naturally not have too many scruples about Mei Gang, and they would not be soft-hearted.

Even if Tian Jiageng wants to protect Mei Gang, he still has his factional position to maintain, and the pressure is so great that he is likely to choose to give up and let others beat Mei Gang.

Mei Gang borrowed more than $400 million from Yasuda Bank this time, and he could only gain some more bargaining chips in the province, but he was somewhat unable to resist the pressure directly exerted by the Zhongyāng ministries and commissions, and needed more and more clear support at the political level.

At this time, if the relationship between him and Cheng Yi can be clarified, the meaning is a little different.

In addition to the influence and power of Cheng Yi and her father Cheng Wenguang as an alternate member of Zhongyāng, the clarity of his relationship with Cheng Yi will also blur the outside world's judgment of the internal situation of the Song family.

Chen Baoqi and Yu Chengzhen secretly supported Xu Fulin and Qin Bingkui to collude with Sun Xingtong to jump votes and cause an election accident.

The election incident was finally tossed over, thinking that Chen Baoqi and Yu Chengzhen would live in peace for a while, but they didn't expect that the land requisition reports would come one after another, and it was impossible to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Huai can understand his sister-in-law's desire to have a clear relationship with Cheng Yi, otherwise he won't cook himself, and insists that he bring Cheng Yi over for dinner, which shows that he wants to do their work - and he drove Cheng Yi over on a bicycle, and the complicated looks in the eyes of Song Hongqi and Xie Zhi can also clearly show that whether he and Cheng Yi can succeed or not will greatly affect the development of the situation.

Thinking of this, Shen Huai couldn't help but sigh lightly, grinned and smiled at his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you probably won't expect me to be so unproductive, right? Besides, Cheng Yi's father is not the kind of person who can lead others by the nose......

"Cheng Wenguang is indeed not the kind of person who will lead others by the nose, but if you want to know what kind of attitude he has towards you and Cheng Yi, it is always not good to hide next to you and guess," Song Wenhui said, "Whether it can be done or not, you must always take the initiative to fight for it......"

"Yes, yes, I'll go to Yanjing in two days and work hard," Shen Huai couldn't say anything about his sister-in-law in this matter, he surrendered with his arms, anyway, he wanted to go back to Yanjing for a trip, thinking that it was okay to see Cheng Wenguang die, looking at the food on the table was almost the same, and asked, "Do you want me to help here?"

"No, let's go chat, we can have dinner here soon, you ask your little uncle, what kind of wine are you going to drink at noon......" There is a nanny here to help, there is no need for Shen Huai to interfere indiscriminately, Song Wenhui waved him to the living room.

******************

Everyone sat in the living room chatting, and Song Tong and Cheng Yi were squeezed on the wide sofa on the side.

Seeing Shen Huai come in, Song Tong stood up and said, "You see I'm very interesting, come, let you sit next to Cheng Yi, so that you don't say anything and scold me in your stomach......"

In addition to the three-seater couch against the wall, there are two single-seat wide sofas in the living room. The wide sofa can be squeezed into two people, but it is somewhat intimate.

Song Hongqi and Xie Zhi shook hands, and the two of them intimately squeezed into a wide-sided sofa; Zhou Zhibai and his brother-in-law Tang Jianmin sat on the couch and chatted, which was originally empty, so Song Tong rushed to sit down, pointing to Shen Huai and Cheng Yi to squeeze together.

Shen Huai ignored Song Tong and wanted to pull a chair to sit over, Cheng Yi didn't look at Shen Huai, but moved his body to the side......

Cheng Yi's small movements made Xie Zhi look at the bottom of her eyes, she was full of doubts and puzzles, and at the same time felt that Hongqi's hand holding her was a little tighter, and she also knew that Hongqi was also confused in her heart:

When sister-in-law Song Wenhui rubbed and Shen Huai was dating Cheng Yi, Shen Huai had not yet made a career in Donghua, and only made some small achievements in Meixi. At that time, because Hongqi's father and Tian Jiageng failed to compete for the post of secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee, the Song family was unstable and needed some measures to consolidate internal ties.

The interaction between Shen Huai and Cheng Yi is built on this foundation, and that's all.

After that, Cheng Yi continued to study abroad, and Shen Huai stayed in Donghua to develop, but according to Xie Zhi's understanding, Cheng Yi had no good impression of Shen Huai, and the intersection between the two over the years was really limited.

Even Cheng Yi saw the existence of Chen Dan with her own eyes, and at that time, Cheng Yi did not have a seizure and did not choose to "break up" with Shen Huai, Xie Zhi believed that she was nothing more than subservient to the "overall situation" of the Song family.

Shen Huai has betrayed his relatives within the Song family, Cheng Yi naturally does not need to succumb to the overall situation, and can "break up" with Shen Huai calmly, but today they are like this, where does it look like they want to break up?

Xie Zhi didn't understand why Cheng Yi needed to "socialize" with Shen Huai at this time, could it be that Cheng Wenguang's will was behind it?

But thinking of this, Xie Zhi couldn't figure it out.

Judging from the fact that Shen Huai and Cheng Yi were involved in the relationship, Cheng Wenguang is a very realistic person, what reason does he have to continue to support Cheng Yi and Shen Huai's "relationship" at this time?

Cheng Yi moved to the side, giving up the vacant seat and motioning for him to sit down, Shen Huai was a little surprised, but seeing Xie Zhi unconsciously puffing out her cheeks, her eyes were both shocked and suspicious, and Shen Huai felt funny, so he sat down next to Cheng Yi and asked, "By the way, what are you talking about?"

"Brother Hongqi said that the provincial inspection team has been to Xiapu to inspect the work for several days, I wonder why you are still wandering around so leisurely?" Cheng Yi said.

"The inspection team of the provincial party committee went to Xiapu mainly to inspect the work of the top leaders of the party and government to do their duty," Shen Huai grinned and said lightly, "I didn't do anything to bully men and women in Xiapu, so what is there to stay in the county and interfere with the inspection team?"

Xie Zhi glanced at Shen Huai, thinking that this bastard had the face to say that, he did less to bully men and women in Donghua?

Seeing that Shen Huai was talking like a fool, Song Hongqi was inconvenient to continue to talk about the topic of the provincial party committee's inspection team, so he just smiled: "As long as you don't bully men and women, you can cope with the inspection of the provincial party committee's inspection team, and it's very easy......;

Shen Huai thought to himself, do you have the ability to show off in the place?

I thought so in my heart, but Shen Huai didn't say it provocatively.

Even if he knew that Song Hongqi and Xie Zhi came to watch him play, he had no intention of continuing to intensify the contradictions within the Song family at this time, let alone spreading out the ugly scars inside the Song family for outsiders to see.

If they do this, they can only make Hu Lin, Chen Baoqi and others have no scruples about Mei Gang.

Seeing that Shen Huai turned his face away and didn't answer Song Hongqi's words, Cheng Yi turned his head sideways, put his mouth into Shen Huai's ear, and asked softly, "What did my sister-in-law say to you?"

"Whispering......" Shen Huai whispered, his sister-in-law has a utilitarian mentality in his relationship with Cheng Yi, he can understand, but if he tells Cheng Yi the truth, Cheng Yi may not have a good impression of his sister-in-law, and he can only fool the past.

"I don't want to talk about pulling down, I don't like to listen to it......" Cheng Yijiao said angrily.

Because Cheng Yi sat a little forward, she wanted to turn her head sideways and whisper to Shen Huai, half of her body seemed to be snuggled in Shen Huai's arms, and her hands were unconsciously propped up on Shen Huai's knees, as if they were intimate lovers talking......

Song Tong stood up as if stimulated and shouted, "I can't stand the intimacy between the two of you," and called her mother in the restaurant, "Is the lunch ready, if there is no more food, we will all be about to give Shen Huai and Cheng Yi sour to death......

"Alright, alright, you're ready to serve. Song Wenhui walked over from the restaurant, beckoned everyone over, and asked Shen Huai, "Do you have any other arrangements this afternoon?"

"I haven't been to see Mr. Cui for a while, this time I asked people to prepare two cans ......of good tea, and I went to the dry rest house to see his old man in the afternoon," Shen Huai said.

Cui Xiangdong had a bad relationship with the Song family, and he had a bad relationship with his father Song Qiaosheng in the investigation of the Huaihai Fleet ship accident Cui Xiangdong, Song Hongqi was naturally inconvenient to follow Shen Huai to visit Cui Xiangdong, and he could only pretend that he didn't hear him say this.

Song Wenhui asked Cheng Yi: "You accompany Shen Huai over?"

"Cheng Yi has to go to the provincial people's ...... in the afternoon" Shen Huai was afraid that her sister-in-law would come up, so she asked Cheng Yi to get off the stage, so she answered her sister-in-law's question for Cheng Yi.

"You can also call the unit to ask for leave. Cheng Yi whispered, as if complaining that Shen Huai didn't take the initiative to invite her over in the afternoon.

As soon as Cheng Yi said this, Song Wenhui really smiled, and didn't say that Shen Huai's appointment with Cheng Yi was insincere, but just dragged Cheng Yi to the restaurant, which was really closer to her daughter Song Tong, and Song Hongqi and Xie Zhi looked at each other, really didn't understand how the relationship between Shen Huai and Cheng Yi was so close, could it be that they were already living together?

*******************

Song Hongqi and Xie Zhi wanted to come over to watch a good show, but they asked Cheng Yi and Shen Huai's "relationship" to panic, and they left after dinner.

In the afternoon, Shen Huai and Cheng Yi took the newly opened tourist bus in Xucheng, carrying two cans of tea and some other gifts, to the Qishan Scenic Area, where the Navy Cadre Rest House was located, to visit the old man Cui Xiangdong.

The tour bus only goes halfway up the mountain, and Shen Huai and Cheng Yi walk up the mountain along the shade of the trees.

The forest on the mountain is deep and leafy, the wind blows cool, although it is not a weekend, but there are many tourists on the mountain road to escape the heat - it is only the middle of June, Huaihai has entered the hottest season of the year, only the mountain is cool.

Although Cheng Yi behaved well at her sister-in-law's house, she was somewhat silent after she came out, walking on the mountain road, Shen Huai asked, "Why don't you speak at this time?"

"Did something happen to Mei Gang?" asked Cheng Yi.

"Why do you ask?" asked Shen Huai.

"I actually knew about the inspection team of the provincial party committee going to Xiapu to inspect the work earlier...... Cheng Yi said.

"Oh," Shen Huai asked, a little puzzled, "Your dad told you?"

"No," Cheng Yi shook her head and said, "Tan Jingjing entered the Provincial People's Bank two months later than me, and has always worked in the Discipline Branch, and I am in the International Law Department, if she hadn't taken the initiative to come to me, I wouldn't have had much chance of meeting me in the same building." She met me a few days ago, and she told me about the inspection team of the provincial party committee going to Xiapu to inspect the work, as if she had made a special trip to tell me about it—you think it's strange, right?"

Shen Huai couldn't help but exhale lightly, spread his hands, and said that he had nothing to say about it, Tan Qiping and Su Kaiwen were unwilling to be lonely behind their backs, they just wanted to find out something from Cheng Yi through Tan Jingjing; Cheng Yi had already guessed that Tan Jingjing's motives might not be pure, so he didn't tell him that Tan Jingjing was also working in the bank.

"Just now at my sister-in-law's house, Song Hongjun and Xie Zhi couldn't wait to talk about it," Cheng Yi continued, "I'm not particularly stupid to look like this, just thinking about what you did to make them all come over to see your good show?"

"Didn't you ask my sister-in-law what she whispered to me in the kitchen?" Shen Huai pursed his lips and said, "This time, someone went to the Ministry of Agriculture to report Xiapu's illegal land acquisition, and the rest of the Song family, as well as He and Dai, all chose to watch the show-sister-in-law was also a little anxious, thinking that I would trick you first......"

"Then why didn't you cheat?" Cheng Yi pursed her lips and asked, "Maybe I'll be deceived......

"......" Shen Huai couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard Cheng Yi's words, turned around, looked at Cheng Yi's beautiful big eyes for two or three seconds, and asked seriously, "Actually, you are anxious for justice and righteousness, and you can't get used to them bullying me, right?"

Cheng Yi burst out laughing and asked, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

"I almost thought you liked me," Shen Huai patted his forehead and said, "The truth is really bloody and cruel." ”
