During the Chinese New Year this year, the Xue family still spent time in Yunhai, but Xue Fei did not stay in Yunhai all the time, he only stayed until the second year of junior high school, and then went to Jingtian with He Miao and his children.

He Qingyi, who is not accompanied by He Miao, is not alone, because he is no longer alone, and he has a love life again, and his mental state seems to be different from the past, in He Miao's words, he is at least five years younger.

Ouyang Ruolan is very casual in He Qingyi's house, and she is also very familiar with the situation in each room, just like the hostess of this house, Xue Fei feels that this shows at least two points, one is that the relationship with He Qingyi has reached a certain level, and the other is that she definitely doesn't come less often.

When cooking, there were only two people in the kitchen, Xue Fei and Ouyang Ruolan, and Xue Fei took advantage of this rare opportunity to say, "I see that the two of you get along well." ”

Ouyang Ruolan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good." ”

"To be honest, you confessed to him that you two were together, right?" Everyone has a gossip heart, and Xue Fei is no exception.

"How is it possible, it was he who confessed to me, do you think I look like the kind of person who will take the initiative to confess to a man."

"But I don't think he's the kind of guy who can talk sweetly."

In Xue Fei's opinion, although He Qingyi is not the kind of person who likes to be condescending to others, he is also a noble person in his bones, so looking at his appearance, it will give people a feeling that he is not very easy to contact. In addition, He Qingyi's identity is there, and I can't imagine what kind of picture he will be like when he confesses to the girl.

"People have another side, but their other side will not be easily revealed to outsiders." Ouyang Ruolan glanced out of the kitchen and whispered: "Actually, he is a very romantic person in his bones, not only occasionally surprises me with roses, but also writes me love poems." ”

Love poems? Xue Fei's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.

"Did you tell your family about the two of you?"

"Not yet." There was a hint of melancholy between Ouyang Ruolan's eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Afraid that the family will not agree? ”

Ouyang Ruolan nodded: "It is said that he had conflicts with his family in the past, and the grievances are quite deep." ”

He Qingyi has a conflict with Ouyang's family? Xue Fei was surprised, he didn't expect that they also knew each other.

"Have you talked to him?"

Ouyang Ruolan shook her head: "No." He also knows my background, but the two of us have never touched on this issue. ”

"He is willing to be with you even though he knows your identity, which shows that he really likes you, and at the same time, he doesn't care about the past and family grievances. And I don't think you have to worry too much about the family, your situation is different from the previous splendor, you can make the decision for your own happiness, as long as you recognize it, you have to stick to it, whether the family agrees or not is secondary. The situation between me and Jinxiu is much more severe than the two of you, we are all together, you two are single, what is there to worry about. Xue Fei comforted.

"It's also said, it's all mediocre people who think about it too much." Ouyang Ruolan smiled with relief.

"If you're really hard at talking to your family, I can help you talk about it."

"Thank you. But not for the time being, I haven't been with him for a long time, and we have to get along to know if we can get along in the future. ”

"Okay, anyway, I'm very optimistic about the two of you, isn't it also popular to match young and old now."

After eating, He Qingyi glanced at Xue Fei, and Xue Fei followed He Qingyi upstairs.

Entering the study, He Qingyi walked into the desk and sat down. Xue Fei picked up the teapot and wanted to pour water, but found that there was no water, so he walked to the water dispenser and took a pot of boiling water.

poured two cups, put one in front of He Qingyi, picked up one by himself, blew it, and took a small sip.

He Qingyi didn't move, he opened his mouth and asked, "Qu Haibo should be proud of the spring breeze now, right?" ”

Xue Fei put down the cup and said with a smile: "So to speak." Although he is the second-in-command, he was born and raised in Linjiang. Ouyang Xinsheng is a foreigner, he is not familiar with the place in Linjiang, even if there is a big family behind him, he is more than enough to face a local force like Qu Haibo. ”

The current Standing Committee of the Linjiang Provincial Party Committee is basically about to be overthrown by Qu Haibo. Ouyang Xinsheng is alone, and Xie Changshun, Zhao Dahai, and Meng Desheng are resolutely not with Qu Haibo. The remaining eight Standing Committee members, except for Lu Lan and He Shengming, who have an unclear attitude, the other six are all on Qu Haibo's side, plus Qu Haibo is exactly seven people, which just accounts for more than half of the Standing Committee.

Xue Fei heard Xie Changshun and others say that every time the Standing Committee was held, if the things proposed by Ouyang Xinsheng were approved by Qu Haibo, they would be passed very smoothly. If Qu Haibo doesn't approve of it, it basically can't be passed. And Ouyang Xinsheng didn't have the attitude of being a leader at all, he was completely a fish on the case, and he was slaughtered by Qu Haibo.

"Qu Haibo is calling for wind and rain in the Lin River, it should have an impact on you, right?" He Qingyi listened to Xue Fei's words and was not surprised at all, because this was what he expected.

In He Qingyi's eyes, Qu Haibo is a person with an average level of ability, but great ambition. However, it must be admitted that he has a certain political/political skill, which can be seen from the fact that he almost stepped back from the second line and now has become the governor of the province.

The most terrible thing about a careerist is not how ambitious he is, but that many times he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. At the beginning, in order to achieve the purpose of personal promotion, Qu Haibo forced Qu Yuanyuan and Xue Fei to break up, and let Qu Yuanyuan and Ye Liangchen be together, which is the typical careerist's style of doing things. For his own selfish interests, even his daughter's happiness can be used as a bargaining chip, and if he treats others, it can be imagined.

"It has not affected it yet, and it is not good for him, as a provincial governor, to directly interfere in the work of a city public security bureau. And after all, I have Uncle Xie and Uncle Zhao above me, and they will help me if I really have something. But in the long run, there will definitely be an impact. I'm staring at Longcheng Group now, this company is very deep, there are many problems, the boss Dou Xiaolong and Qu Haibo are very close, if one day it really moves Dou Xiaolong, I'm worried that Qu Haibo will make a hindrance from it. ”

When the entertainment kingdom was investigated for the second time, Qu Haibo spoke for him at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and Qu Yuanyuan got married, and Dou Xiaolong made a special trip to Jingtian to participate, and it is said that he also came with a big gift, which shows the relationship between the two people.

In addition, because of the incident with Qu Yuanyuan back then, Qu Haibo has always had a grudge against Xue Fei. Now that Qu Haibo has gained momentum, and he is close to Dou Xiaolong, if one day the Longcheng Group is investigated, it is obvious which side Qu Haibo will stand on, and this is what Xue Fei is most worried about.

"The outside world has mixed reviews of you, but no matter what, you have reached the position you are today, and I believe you don't want to stand still or end your political career, right?" He Qingyi looked at Xue Fei and said.

"Of course. From the moment I chose this path, I didn't think about stopping. I don't know how far I'll go, but I'll definitely keep going. What Xue Fei said was categorical.

He Qingyi picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he poured out the remaining water in the cup, looked at Xue Fei and asked, "It's all lost the taste of tea, why do you still drink it?" It's better to drink plain water directly. ”

He Qingyi handed the cup to Xue Fei and motioned for him to receive a cup of white water.

Xue Fei felt that the taste was okay, but the taste was a little lighter.

He Qingyi looked at the water and said meaningfully: "When you drink tea, you should drink its original taste, if you lose this taste, you must pour it decisively." Don't wait until it stinks moldy, then you can only be disgusted. Some things are the same, I'm not afraid of not being able to think of it, but I'm afraid that I can't prevent it from happening. ”

Xue Fei's mind turned, and then nodded.

"The Ouyang family still doesn't know about me and Ruolan, right?" He Qingyi picked up the cup and took a sip of water, which was a little hot, and he put the cup down again.

"I don't know yet, I asked Ruolan, and she said that she hadn't figured out how to tell her family yet. In addition, she said that you seem to have a conflict with their family. Xue Fei was still very interested in the contradiction between He Qingyi and the Ouyang family, and when he said it in front of He Qingyi, he hoped that He Qingyi would tell him what the contradiction was.

But He Qingyi didn't seem to mean what he wanted to say: "What do you think of the matter between me and Ruolan?" ”

"I support it, and He Miao also supports it. It is not easy to get a feeling worth giving and cherishing, there are difficulties that can be solved, and some people can ignore them, in short, they can't let go easily. Xue Fei said.

"I'm with Ruolan, it won't have any effect on you, right?" He Qingyi stared at Xue Fei's eyes and asked.

Xue Fei was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "No, no, it won't have any impact on me." ”

How could Xue Fei not understand the meaning of He Qingyi's words, which couldn't help but make Xue Fei a little nervous.

But He Qingyi didn't seem to want to expose anything, but said: "For a man, the more successful his career is, the more he should have roots in his heart, and this root is his family, his wife and children." I'm not afraid of being colorful outside, I'm afraid that I don't have this home in my heart. Women are animals that are actually very simple, when she doesn't face feelings, she may not seem so easy to deal with, and once she encounters feelings, they are really fragile and even vulnerable. So men can't easily deceive women, because women are really pitiful. If you lie, then lie to her for the rest of your life, and never let her wake up in the happiness she weaves. ”

Xue Fei listened to He Qingyi's words and bowed his head and was silent.

In the past few days, Xue Fei has not been idle in Jingtian, in addition to accompanying He Qingyi with He Miao, he also got together with Cheng Qianpan, had a meal with the people of the Ouyang family, and accompanied Ouyang Jinxiu and the child.

The night before returning to Ice City, Xue Fei also met with Jiang Shan.

Today, Jiang Shan is a member of the Standing Committee of the Jingtian Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, in charge of section-level, economic and information technology, environmental protection, state-owned assets supervision and management, and energy.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other." Jiang Shan said with a smile.

"Yes, but this is also something that can't be helped, it's far away, and everyone is busy, so it's not easy to meet." Xue Fei said with emotion.

Xue Fei didn't want to meet Jiang Shan, but when he sent a New Year's greeting message, the two of them went back to one and I replied, chatting and chatting, Jiang Shan learned that Xue Fei was in Jingtian, so he asked to meet. Xue Fei thought that he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was good to meet him, so he agreed, and took the initiative to arrange a meeting at the Chinese club under the Chinese Group.

"You did a very good job in Bingcheng, fighting the underworld and eliminating evil, and the results are outstanding, I have always been concerned."

"You're not bad, you're a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and the next step is to be released. I think if you go out, you must at least start as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. ”

"Haha, okay, let's not praise each other." Jiang Shan waved his hand and said, "Seriously, when I was in Qihe, I didn't get along well with you, and as a result, you were transferred." I really hope that there is a chance that the two of us can work together as a team and do it again. ”

"Anything is possible."

Suddenly, Jiang Shan asked, "Do you think Secretary General Meng still has a step?" ”

Xue Fei shook his head and said, "It should be gone." The age is there, and the person who will be almost sixty years old soon. ”

Not only Meng Desheng, but also Xie Changshun and Zhao Dahai, the possibility of their rise is only theoretical. Judging from the convention, it will take two to three years at most, and at least it will be difficult to say, and it may be retreated from the second line at any time.

Think about it, when Xue Fei first became a civil servant, they were in high spirits and had a good future. Now that Xue Fei has been in politics for almost twelve years, he has reached the level of the main hall, how can they not be old.

The years are ruthless, only sighing.

"You usually have a lot of contact with Uncle Meng, right?" Xue Fei asked.

"It's ok. At that time, I was in Qihe, and because of your relationship, Secretary-General Meng still cared for me very much, and I have always kept this in mind. I've always wanted to find time to meet him, but he's busy, and I don't have time. I hope to find time to go to Ice City this year. Jiang Shan sighed.

"Then I will extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the 10 million people of Bingcheng in advance."

"Haha, it's not enough to just give a warm welcome, I have to entertain you at the highest level in the past."

"Needless to say, it has to be."

When I returned to Bingcheng the next day, I met Ling Ziyue at the airport.

When Ling Ziyue saw Xue Fei and He Miao's family of three, she took the initiative to come forward to say hello, Xue Fei couldn't say anything, so she could only deal with it with a smile, and then gave Ling Ziyue a look, signaling that she was almost done, but Ling Ziyue turned a blind eye.

Ling Ziyue said to He Miao: "You definitely don't know me, my name is Ling Ziyue, when Director Xue was the secretary of Tianze County, I was the county magistrate, and we worked together as colleagues. Later, Director Xue went to work in the Public Security Bureau, and I went to the Youth League Municipal Committee. I have a colleague and friend relationship with Director Xue, right? ”

Xue Fei squeezed out a smile and didn't say anything.

Ling Ziyue also said that she lived in Nangong Mansion, and He Miao was surprised and said that they also lived there. Further down, when he found out that it was a neighbor, He Miao was even more surprised, and Ling Ziyue was surprised, Xue Fei turned his back to the side and frowned, speechless for Ling Ziyue's exaggerated acting skills.

Ling Ziyue said that since they are neighbors, she and Xue Fei are friends, and they must be closer in the future. He Miao saw that Ling Ziyue was talking quickly, and felt that this person was not bad.
