Chapter 49: Pick-up
God of War King Lin Xuanyuan.
Wang Jinxiu.
Chen Hualou, deputy prime minister of the Shenzhou Empire.
Wang Jianghu, the second-in-command of the imperial consul.
Plus one hundred and fifty royal consuls in cabin two and eight members of the biological laboratory in cabin three.
This is all the hands that Lin Xiaocao brought to Kyushu City from the Northern Imperial Family.
From the royal family to Kyushu City, three hours later, when the plane was about to land, the flight attendant who worked in the cabin most of the time had already put away the fruit and red wine on the coffee table one step in advance, and reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts.
The cabin window was wiped very brightly, and as the Airbus A380 landed from the clouds, Lin Xiaocao and the others gradually approached the bustling Kyushu City below at a dizzying height.
In the palace-like cabin that was modified to sacrifice a lot of space just to increase luxury and comfort, Lin Xiaocao silently looked down at the central city of the empire below, his eyes flickered, and his expression was unusually calm.
Until now, he has not yet adapted to the dramatic changes brought about by the change in status and increasing power.
It's a real bird's-eye view, both physically and psychologically, because of this current identity, everything below seems to be unusually small.
The winding Great Wall and the majestic Forbidden City are unusually high, like a sharp sword plunging into the sky of the Yanhuang Club Building.
With the landing of the plane, in the mountains and rivers, the hideous black dragon with teeth and claws in the palace of the God of War gradually became clear.
"Aunt Chen, who's picking up the airport next?"
Lin Xiaocao watched silently, and suddenly asked.
"Well, there are a lot of people. β
Chen Hualou was stunned, she had been reading the internal reference documents on the plane just now, and was closing her eyes at this time, when she heard Lin Xiaocao's question, she opened her eyes and smiled: "Tongtian and Bolong must be there, and there are a few juniors." Mr. Wang and Director Lin will also come, their identities are not so sensitive, after all, it is not good to be too public. β
Lin Xiaocao nodded, he was really afraid that a large group of people would come to watch the scene of the new prince as soon as he got off the plane, although it was unlikely, but if he asked in advance, he still had a little bottom in his heart, Lin Xiaocao used to be a killer, and he was not very suitable for the time being, and he was not very suitable for the kind brought by the central figure of a large circle for the time being, and he really wanted to pick up a large group of political officials, Lin Xiaocao was afraid that he couldn't say it, but he was a little uncomfortable, and that kind of scene was too sensational, which was equivalent to directly pushing him to the cusp, and there was not much benefit.
According to Lin Xiaocao's plan, he will not express any opinions on the Wang family for the time being, and meet with the dignitaries of the Wang family one by one, and slowly understand that is the right way, what he has to do is to integrate into that circle, not squeeze into it alive.
"Deputy Director Lin is also attentive enough. β
Lin Xiaocao smiled, with some mockery in her tone.
The so-called deputy director Lin is the former governor of Wu Yue Province, and now the deputy director of the Imperial Development Committee, Lin Congzheng, the Wang family intends to co-opt him as a member of the decision-making bureau at this year's central plenary meeting, and in terms of blood relationship, he is his own uncle, but Lin Xiaocao has never had a good impression of the Lin family in Kyushu City, so he spoke unceremoniously.
Chen Hualou's delicate eyebrows rose slightly, his already bright eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's a normal thing, the National Assembly of Wu Yue Province was held ahead of schedule today, and he has already resigned from the post of governor at the congress, and it has been a week since he came to the Development Committee to take up his new post, and I haven't met him yet, so it's understandable that he is in a hurry to come over and report to me." β
Lin Xiaocao didn't speak, but the smile under the mask was a little cold, in his opinion, Wang Tianxiong's identity is transcendent, and he is an important force in the royal family, not to mention that he is still his senior brother, and his identity is relatively hidden, it is nothing to come here, as for Lin Congzheng, the report is fake, and it is true to take the opportunity to release a signal to the outside world.
The Development Committee can be said to be the first important ministry in the cabinet, with a high position and power, known as a small cabinet, and the internal relationship is even more complicated, but in general, the Wang family occupies a great advantage in it, and the first leader of the Development Committee belonging to the southern faction will retire this year, and the two deputy directors of the development committee who belong to the Wang family can be said to be looking forward to that position, and they are also competing with each otherγ
Now that Vice Prime Minister Chen has returned to Beijing, Lin Congzheng personally came to pick up the plane, undoubtedly telling everyone that his relationship with Vice Prime Minister Chen is closer than that between the two deputy directors and Vice Prime Minister Chen, and they are real confidants.
Although Deputy Prime Minister Chen is a deputy, she has always been known for her strength and great influence, and she is the same as the Prime Minister as a member of the Standing Committee of the Bureau, with the same rank, and has gradually taken control of the cabinet in just a few years.
Once Lin Congzheng conveyed the news that he was a confidant of Vice Prime Minister Chen, and was accepted by Chen Hualou, it would be more conducive to him to carry out his work and establish prestige.
"Lin still has the ability to engage in politics, especially in the economy, he is very methodical, not hot-headed, steady and sharp, and he is a rare talent. β
Chen Hualou said with a smile, this is her truth, if Lin Congzheng did not have the corresponding talent, even if he knew the relationship between him and Lin Xiaocao at the beginning, Chen Hualou would at most give him the treatment of being a governor, and would not arrange for him to go to Wuyue.
Wu Yue, a major province of politics, economy, culture, and education, and the fundamental place of the royal family, can be described as the most important place, and not everyone can go if they want to.
"Talented but not virtuous, timid and afraid of things, capable but cowardly, only know how to compromise when encountering problems, cherish their wings, such a person is qualified as a politician and can not talk about benefiting the empire. β
Lin Xiaocao said coldly.
Chen Hualou pursed his lips, the surprise in his eyes flashed, he never expected that Lin Xiaocao's impression of Lin Congzheng and the Lin family in Kyushu City was so bad, this knot in his heart was difficult to untie.
Lin Xiaocao didn't continue to say more, looked at Wang Jianghu, who was sitting beside him and was basically speechless along the way, and said calmly: "You and your brothers go out later, the personnel are scattered, the God of War Mansion is gathered, so many people are together, it is too eye-catching." β
"Okay. β
Wang Jianghu nodded and didn't say much.
The huge private jet landed suddenly, and after a slight jolt, began to taxi on the ground, slowing down and finally slowly coming to a stop.
"Let's go, don't wake up Jinxiu, Xiaocao, you hold her. β
Chen Hualou stood up, looked at Wang Jinxiu, who was sleeping next to Lin Xiaocao, and ordered directly.
Lin Xiaocao snorted, three days before coming to Kyushu City from the royal family, Wang Jinxiu had been staying in the biological laboratory of the royal family, and injected a life-stopping potion, the whole laboratory operated together, sorted, and recorded a large amount of information and data, this is an extremely tedious work, for this, Lin Xiaocao even postponed the return to Kyushu City by a day, until it was about to get on the plane, Wang Jinxiu took the core members of the eight laboratories to board, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleepγ
He bent down to pick up Wang Jinxiu, who was sleeping very sweetly, and Her Royal Highness the princess in her sleep frowned, subconsciously moved her body, reached out and hugged Lin Xiaocao's neck, and never opened her eyes.
"Lord, I'm over. β
Wang Jianghu stood up and planned to go to the second cabin.
"Remember to take care of the doctors in the third cabin, and send more people to walk with them to protect their safety. β
Lin Xiaocao said seriously, this is the top priority, the eight doctors brought over by Wang Jinxiu are all core personnel in the laboratory, not assistants or the like, the biological laboratory of the sixteen core personnel was directly brought over half, if an accident occurs, the loss of one is a huge loss.
"Don't worry, I will personally take someone to the God of War Mansion with the doctors later. β
Lin Xiaocao nodded, followed behind Chen Hualou, and walked directly to the cabin exit with Wang Jinxiu in his arms.
Under the stairs of the cabin, a small group of people stood together, but they were vaguely divided into three rows, smiling at the private jet parked in front of them.
In the crowd, most of Lin Xiaocao knew each other, at least they had met.
Wang Bolong, Wang Tongtian, Chen Qingyu, Lin Shushu, Xie Yuanyuan, Lin Shuimo, Sun Wangyue
The young men representing the Chen family, the Lin family in the northeast of the empire, the Sun family and the Xie family in Kyushu City stood in the third row with Wang Bolong and Wang Tongtian.
In the second row is Wang Tianxiong, the imperial guardian representing the Ye family in Kyushu City, and Lin Congzheng, the first deputy director of the Development Committee.
And standing at the front, guarded in the middle by the two big guys, one left and one right, is an old man with kind eyebrows.
The old man was of medium stature, his hair was gray, he was wearing the most ordinary down jacket and sneakers, his eyebrows were kind, and he looked at Chen Hualou who came out of the cabin with a smile on his face and the young God of War King who hugged His Royal Highness the princess.
Lin Xiaocao was stunned when she saw the old man.
Chen Hualou, who was walking in front of Lin Xiaocao, was also obviously stunned, as if she didn't expect the old man to be in the pick-up team, and it took five or six seconds before she reacted, and immediately quickened her pace, walked down the steps, held the old man's palm tightly with both hands, and said with concern: "Old Li, why are you here? The weather is so cold, you must pay attention to your body." β
Li Lao!
Lin Xiaocao finally confirmed the identity of the old man.
To be precise, he had seen the old man, and a few days ago, he had seen his photo.
Among the more than a million words of detailed information handed over to him by the emperor, there are resumes and introductions about royal officials, and this old man is the first!
Among the royal family, his status is above Vice Head of State Ye Nianlun, who is now the most promising to reach the top, above Vice Prime Minister Chen Hualou, above Chairman Zou Rente of the National Committee, and above Minister Guo Tianlong of the Ministry of Supervision.
In that hundred-word introduction about the old man's lack of praise for merit and exaggeration, the person who compiled that paragraph gave the old man three greats and two most from the most objective point of view, and spoke highly of the old man's life.
One of the most respected chiefs of the country.
One of the most prestigious leaders of the Reich's ruling party.
He is the most important founder of the royal family today, and he is also the spiritual leader of the royal family today.
Former Imperial Prime Minister, Li Donglei.
The first to enter the royal family, that is, the high-ranking officials of the royal camp at the beginning.
The ten years of his reign can be said to be the decade with the highest life happiness index of the people of the empire, and it is also the decade with the fastest economic development of the empire.
Twenty years ago, there was only one developed country in Asia, and that was Japan.
Twenty years later, the developed countries in Asia are the Shenzhou Empire and Japan.
During his ten years in power, he truly benefited the country and the people, and had a clear conscience.
Even though he has retired for nearly ten years now, he still has high prestige among the people and the party, especially in the people, and his prestige has even caught up with the founding prime minister.
This is an old man who deserves anyone's respect.
In the cold wind, Li Lao shook hands with Chen Hualou with a smile, and said gently: "I heard that Xiaolin is coming to pick you up, I will also come over to take a look, just relax, and meet the new prince of the royal family, this is Xuanyuan and Jinxiu, right?"
Lin Xiaocao hugged Wang Jinxiu in her arms, and there was no way to shake hands with Li Lao, so she could only bow slightly and say softly: "Li Lao, I am Lin Xuanyuan." Jinxiu was too tired to say hello to Li Lao, so Li Lao forgive me. β
"Good, good. β
Li Lao looked at Lin Xiaocao and Wang Jinxiu with a smile: "Have time to come and sit at home, chat with my old man, is it okay to revive?"
"He's good. β
Lin Xiaocao smiled and nodded, the sun shone on the golden wisps, and his face became more and more blurred, and only the corners of his mouth could be seen slightly raised arcs.
Li Lao smiled and hummed and stopped talking.
Lin Xiaocao didn't say much, as long as he wasn't stupid, he could hear that Li Lao's words to look at the new prince were polite words, and his main purpose was nothing more than to build momentum for Lin Congzheng.
Having a former prime minister with full prestige and high status is not a good thing for any successor, no matter how eloquent and generous he is, he will be overshadowed in the light of his predecessor, and even if he has made achievements, he will be considered to have laid a good foundation for his predecessor, which can be said to be fatal to high-level politics, at least it is difficult to effectively establish prestige.
The current prime minister of the empire, Yang Dong, is so successful, the empire's nine decision-making bureau standing committee giants, four belong to the southwest faction, four belong to the royal family, only he, the number two person belongs to the southern faction, the number of decision-making bureau members is also at a disadvantage, and he has been invisibly squeezed a lot of right to speak, in the first five years of his tenure, it can be said that he is completely in accordance with Li Lao's original development strategy, carefully expanding his influence.
And five years later, in the middle of the term, Chen Hualou entered the cabinet from Nanyue Province, although he is the deputy prime minister, but he is also the Standing Committee of the decision-making bureau, Li Donglei of the Wang family is still powerful, and Chen Hualou is in the bottom, Yang Dongcheng's situation can be said to be extremely embarrassing, and he can only choose to occasionally cooperate with the southwest faction to maintain a low position, plus Chen Hualou pays attention to the influence, and there is no blatant overhead cabinet leader, so although the current Prime Minister Yang is difficult, the work can still be done.
It's just that with Lin Congzheng entering the National Development and Reform Commission, the God of War King came to Kyushu City instead of the side king, and the battle for the successor of the re-election has also become white-hot, and the royal family is obviously not ready to endure it, the first step is to strongly control the cabinet, calm down the different voices within the royal family, and gather strength.
Elder Li's appearance today is to prepare for eliminating dissenting voices within the faction and then taking strong control of the cabinet.
The first step is to build momentum for Lin to enter politics.
As for visiting Lin Xiaocao, the new prince, it is placed in second place.
"Xuanyuan, this is Wang Tianxiong, the head of the Shenzhou Guard. β
Chen Hualou introduced politely, although he knew their relationship, he should not be less introduced, this is a matter of etiquette.
And everyone present knew that Lin Xiaocao was Wang Tianxiong's junior brother, but they knew that Lin Xuanyuan was Lin Xiaocao's, and they were only a limited number of people.
"Welcome to the prince to visit the Shenzhou Guardian Headquarters when he is free, those members of my team also need to be beaten by a master like the prince. β
Wang Tianxiong said with a smile.
"Wang is always a hero, and Xuanyuan has always hoped to get Mr. Wang's guidance, and he will definitely go back to visit if he has the opportunity. β
Lin Xiaocao said casually, and the smile in his eyes was very obvious.
This is Lin Congzheng, the first deputy director of the Development Committee. β
Chen Hualou continued.
"Hello, Lord Wang, I've heard of the name for a long time. β
Lin Congzheng smiled, quietly used honorifics, and his posture was very low.
Lin Xiaocao glanced at him, didn't say anything, hugged Wang Jinxiu and walked directly to the next one, even nodding his head.
The astonishment in Chen Hualou's eyes flashed away.
Lin Congzheng's smile was even stiffer, he didn't expect this young prince to have such an attitude towards him, and the embarrassment was sudden, which made him a little unable to react for a while.
"This is Tongtian, my son, who is now the captain of the Tempest Squad of the Guote Squadron, this is Bo Long, the son of your Aunt Liuli, and the only heir of the royal family, Xuanyuan, you can teach their two brothers a few tricks when you are free, these two children worship you very much on weekdays. β
Chen Hualou reacted quickly, did not go to see Lin Congzheng, and directly introduced Wang Tongtian and Wang Bolong together.
"Ringo. β
Wang Tongtian Wang Bolong and the two brothers bowed down at the same time, their identities are extremely special, the eldest prince and heir of the royal family, but no matter how special they are, they must also maintain the necessary respect for the prince of the royal family, even if Wang Tongtian is older than Lin Xiaocao, but a Lin Ge is naturally called.
Lin Xiaocao nodded with a smile and continued to move towards the next one.
By the time Chen Hualou introduced these young people he was already familiar with again, five or six minutes had passed.
"Aunt Chen, let's get in the car first, and then let's talk, Jinxiu is afraid that he is going to catch a cold, you guys go to work first, Tongtian and I are both young people, let's go back to the God of War Palace." β
Lin Xiaocao hugged Wang Jinxiu, who was curled up in his arms, and didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
"Okay, you come to Yinlonghai another day, and I'll introduce some people to you. β
Chen Hualou nodded.
"Lord Wang, will you take my car?"
Chen Qingyu smiled, but the eyes that looked at Lin Xiaocao were a little complicated.
Several young people drove three cars, Wang Tongtian and Wang Bolong were in an ordinary Audi A6L, Lin Shushu and Xie Yuanyuan were a low-key Passat, which was the car of the crown prince Wang Bolong on weekdays.
And Chen Qingyu is obviously much more flamboyant and wanton, with a bright red Ferrari next to him, and he came to the airport with Lin Shuimo.
"No need. β
Lin Xiaocao shook his head, his tone was calm, but to some people it was like a knife: "I make a car for calligraphy and painting, I have always admired Mr. Lin Congjun from the Northeast Sanxing Province, and I happened to talk to him about his father's deeds." β
Lin Congzheng's face changed suddenly, and his embarrassed look could hardly be concealed.
Others also looked odd.
This sentence was almost like a crisp slap in the face, which was directly thrown at the Lin family in Kyushu City and on Lin Congzheng's face.
Full of strength and drenched in blood.
Lin Xiaocao walked towards the Passat, and when he entered the door, he glanced at Lin Congzheng, who was embarrassed, intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes were full of indifference and mockery.
PS: There are actually three developed countries in Asia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea
