After a long while, Minister Xiang finally calmed down completely. Liang Jian didn't dare to defend until Minister Xiang said let him sit down, and he asked tentatively: "Dad, can you tell me what the hell is going on? ”

Minister Xiang looked at him in surprise, frowned and asked, "You don't know what's going on?"

Liang Jian nodded hurriedly.

Minister Xiang was stunned, then snorted and said, "This is also like the style of the Tang family." After speaking, he pursed his lips, and after two seconds, he spoke again and told the truth of the matter.

It turned out that Tang Yi didn't just send things to Zhu Mingtang's house. He used the connections on the side of the troops. That night, Zhu Mingtang's son called Zhu Mingtang, and this was the key blow for Zhu Mingtang to change his mind.

What Tang Yi did to Zhu Mingtang's son Zhu Jiaming, Minister Xiang didn't say it clearly, but it can be seen from his expression that it is not a fair and honest means.

Liang Jian didn't expect that there was such a thing behind this. After listening to what Minister Xiang said, Liang Jian said to Minister Xiang: "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't expect such a thing. Rest assured, though, there won't be a next time. ”

Minister Xiang's face softened slightly, and said, "I know, you wouldn't do such a thing." However, on your father's side, you still have to communicate well. Politics is politics, not the underworld. Rules are rules, and the bottom line cannot be broken. ”

Liang Jian nodded: "I'll communicate." You can rest assured. ”

Minister Xiang looked at him for a while, and then suddenly said: "Although the process of this matter is not very glorious, I think you still deserve this position." I've got something for you, and in the drawer over there, go get it yourself. ”

Liang Jian was stunned, then stood up with doubts, walked over there, opened the drawer, and saw that inside was a black hard box, with no logo on it, no letters or Chinese characters.

Liang Jian looked at it, didn't rush to open it, turned his head and asked Minister Xiang, "Dad, what is this?"

Minister Xiang smiled and said, "Won't you open it and take a look?"

Liang Jian glanced at him, and then opened the black hard box. There's also a box inside. When I opened it again, it was a silver metal watch, with a simple and generous surface design, not inlaid with gold or diamonds, low-key but textured. In terms of appearance, this watch is still very suitable for Liang Jian's aesthetics.

The watch is Rolex's, and Liang Jian still recognizes the small metallic crown on the dial. Liang Jian looked up at Minister Xiang in some surprise, who was leaning back in his chair and looking at him with a smile.

Liang Jian was still very excited in his heart. He has been with Xiang Jin for so many years, and this is the first time that his father-in-law has given him something. Liang Jian didn't want this gift, but Minister Xiang was able to give him this watch, which showed that he finally recognized him completely in his heart. This is of great significance to Liang Jian.

Liang Jian wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say all of a sudden, so he held back for a while and held back six words: "This watch is very expensive, right?"

Minister Xiang said: "Whether it is expensive or not, it depends on whether it is worth it." As the saying goes, this diamond represents a woman, and this watch represents a man. You're not too young now, you deserve a decent watch. ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Liang Jian felt that it was not as good as these three words to say anything. This gift represents Minister Xiang's heart, and Liang Jian should accept and thank him.

After coming out, Liang Jian couldn't help it and went to Xiang Jin to 'show off'. After Xiang Jin found out, he said: "No wonder Dad sneakily went out two days ago, and he didn't let me follow, it turned out that he went to buy you a watch." However, he is really stingy, he only buys one watch, there is yours and mine!"

Liang Jian laughed, stepped forward to hug her, and said, "Dad said that the watch represents a man, and the diamond represents a woman." I'll buy you diamonds when I get back. ”

Xiang Jin glanced at him and said, "That stone is so beautiful except for flashing eyes." I don't want to. ”

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, he looked at Xiang Jin's hand, which was empty. I remembered that the diamond ring when I got married before I returned it to Liang Jian before Xiang Jin went to the United States. Liang Jian suddenly realized that what Xiang Jin said just now was probably the opposite.

He hurriedly said to Xiang Jin: "Let's go shopping tomorrow night." ”

"What are you going to buy?" asked Xiang Jin with a smile.

Liang Jian replied cooperatively: "Don't buy anything." Just go. Xiang Jin chuckled.

After chatting with Xiang Jin for a while, Liang Jian remembered the fire sent by Minister Xiang before, and he felt that it was necessary for him to talk to Tang Yi. So, he went to the study and called Tang Yi.

After the phone was connected, he asked Tang Yi: "Uncle Tang, is it convenient now?"

"What's the matter with you?" Tang Yi asked.

Liang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "I want to talk to you about my previous director of the Competition Research Division. ”

Tang Yi's side suddenly fell silent, and after two or three seconds, he asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Liang Jian hesitated slightly, he knew that no matter what Tang Yi did, it was to help him. But what his father-in-law said is not unreasonable, since Liang Jian is in the officialdom, then he still has to act according to the rules.

"Uncle Tang, did you do anything to Zhu Mingtang's son Zhu Jiaming?" Liang Jian still felt a little difficult to speak when he asked.

Tang Yi was silent for a few seconds before replying, "You know?"

"I don't know very clearly. Liang Jian replied.

Tang Yi was quiet for a few seconds and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Liang Jian was going to say it directly, but considering Tang Yi's desire to help him, he still tactfully said: "I mean, if you encounter something like this again next time, I hope you can say hello to me first." ”

"Is your father-in-law angry with you?" Tang Yi suddenly asked. Liang Jian was startled, he didn't expect that Tang Yi seemed to know his situation very well, and he pointed out the key at once.

Liang Jian had no choice but to answer: "He didn't get angry, he just felt that this method was not very suitable." After all, politics still has to pay attention to rules. ”

When Tang heard this, he suddenly laughed, and then said, "What are the rules?" ”

Liang Jian was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer this question. He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Like this time, it may be a little too much." ”

"I don't think it's too much. Tang Yi immediately retorted: "Didn't you just say the rules! Then let me tell you, what the rules are! The rules are, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss! This rule, whether in the past or in the present, will never change. ”

"I know, but it's a little more straightforward. We can actually be a little more tactful. Liang Jian still reluctantly tried to convince him. However, Tang Yi refuted him more decisively: "Liang Jian, you have to remember that this world is a world where the winner is the king and the loser is the loser. If you want to win, you can't think about anything else. I know you think I'm doing something out of the box, but ask yourself, if I don't, can you sit in this position?"

This question, no need to ask, the answer is actually there.

According to Zhu Mingtang's personality, if Tang Yi didn't grasp his weakness and exert his strength, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to succumb. In other words, it is impossible for Liang Jian to succeed in ascending to the top.

However, although the answer is there, Liang Jian will still have his own voice in his heart.

"Actually, I don't really care about this position. If I can't go up this time, I can have another chance. After Liang Jian finished speaking, he felt that what he said was wrong. But the words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back. Tang Yi's side was silent for a moment, Liang Jian hurriedly wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Tang Yi said: "If you miss the opportunity for the first time, there will be a second time! If you don't catch it this time, then it will be difficult for you to seize it next time." You are now at the level of the deputy hall, if you go to the city, if you are promoted, then you will go up to the main hall, and there are only a few positions in the main hall, and all of them are very strong, who would be willing to let you out? If you go up to the main hall and then go up to the deputy department, there are only a few deputy departments, not to mention whether you have enough qualifications, you can't compete in the main hall, can you still think about the deputy department? If I remember correctly, you had a two-year contract with your father, right?"

Referring to this two-year appointment, Liang Jian's heart froze for a moment. Tang Yi was right, there were only a few locations in the main hall in the city, if he couldn't go up this time, he didn't know when he would go next time.

Liang Jian was silent. He originally wanted to persuade Tang Yi, but he didn't expect that he was finally educated by Tang Yi, and he couldn't refute it at all.

Tang Yi said again: "I know, you have a good heart, but you remember that on this road, kindness is to people, but not to things. Zhu Mingtang is a good person, so this time I just made things look like and achieved the goal. ”

"What if you don't achieve your goal?" Liang Jian couldn't help but ask.

Tang Yiyi: "What do you think?"

Liang Jian felt that Tang Yi should not do anything out of the ordinary, but he felt that it was difficult to say accurately.

Tang Yi seemed a little disappointed at his silence. He snorted and said, "Sometimes I don't understand your father. If I were your father, you would never call me today. Because, you will do that thing yourself, and you don't need me to do it!"

Liang Jian felt a lot of complicated emotions and shock in his heart.

At this time, he said: "You remember what I said before, this world is a world that talks about fists. In addition, you can help me bring a message to your father-in-law. ”

Liang Jian subconsciously felt that this sentence might not be easy to bring, but he still asked, "What words?"

"Our Tang family's expectation of you is not just that of the head of the Central Organization Department! What he suffered back then, do you remember it?" As soon as Tang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Liang Jian listened to the sound of beeping, and his mood was very heavy. What Tang Yi said must not be brought to Minister Xiang, otherwise, the relationship that has just eased will definitely be stiff again.

Liang Jian sighed, thinking, it seems that he should not make this call. The old man's fire, he just bears it himself, why bother to make this call again and provoke this matter. Now, he didn't succeed in persuading, but he was also taught a lesson.

Thinking about what Tang Yi said just now, although it sounds quite domineering, but after thinking about it carefully, there is some truth. That fist theory, it sounds rough but not rough. Any competition, in the end, isn't it just a competition between identity, background, means, and so on?

In this society, strength is no longer synonymous with one's own ability, but synonymous with comprehensive factors. It's unfair and unfair, because some people are born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and it's fair to say fair, because luck is not controlled by humans.
