Leaving the hospital, Guo Xiaozhou felt a little empty in his heart, like lost and relaxed. The ending that I had been imagining for a long time has finally arrived. He didn't expect to meet Zuo Ya in the hospital, let alone her showing up with her boyfriend's arm in her arms.

Especially when she **** Lu Bo's arm in front of him, it was officially announced that their fate was over. Because he knows Zuo Ya's pride and character too well, once he makes up his mind, he will not look back. Just like she had to be with him in the face of strong opposition from her family.

However, she is proud, he is proud, and he is even more proud than her in his bones! His blood was full of pride.

Two proud men and women, like two roosters in a cage, the final result is either the cage is broken, or the chicken dies.

He has lofty ideals and wants to walk out of his own sky in his career. Then his future wife should be a woman who can be proud but must have a spirit of sacrifice. She is his big rear and his logistics officer, who can silently solve all the troubles in his life.

Zuo Ya found a belonging, he was happy for her, and hoped she was happy!

At the same time, he began to think about his own personal problems. In fact, during the Spring Festival this year, his mother kept nagging and praised Chen Jingqiu in front of him.

Chen Jingqiu, he does not deny that he has a good impression, a girl like flowers and water, no one doesn't like it. But he didn't have that burning passion. At some point, he found that his "passion" had quietly disappeared.

When did he disappear, was it the moment when he decided to enter the official career, or was he strangled alive under the polishing of the system? Makes him more utilitarian?

He didn't know.

On the way to the provincial government building, images of women appeared in his mind.

Chen Jingqiu, An Jin, Luo Wei, Ding Xiaoning, and even Gan Ziyi and Zhou Jiewen, he only ignored one woman, Yan Jie. It's just that even he doesn't know whether he automatically ignores it or really forgets it.

Among them, An Jin is impossible, she is a girl who is as dazzling as a phoenix, and she is used to feeling fun in the spotlight and cheers. Luo Wei, who seems to be far from mature, admits that she has a rather bullish father. Find a father-in-law like Luo Zhiguo, comparable to the son-in-law of the secretary of the provincial party committee.

Gan Ziyi and Zhou Jiewen only have a good impression of him at present, but if they want to conquer such a proud woman of the sky, one is difficulty, the second is time and energy, and the third is the influence of the family behind them, with half of the pros and cons.

If he can marry one of them, his powerful connections will naturally continue to flow, and his career path will be easy and fast. But there is an old saying in the world that what you gain must lose something. Gain and loss are relative. He accepted the family's connections, and at the same time had to bear the family's responsibilities and obligations, even political enemies attacked, and relatively dedicated to the family.

Such as trading, competition, checks and balances, and even sacrifices at a certain moment.

After all, he can only be regarded as the periphery of the family, not the authentic bloodline.

The taxi pulled up to the side of the road, and the driver said, "Across the street is the provincial government building." "It means let him get out of the car and walk over by himself.

Guo Xiaozhou never dwelled on such trivial matters, he got out of the car very cooperatively, looked at the time, half past twelve, and there were still two and a half hours before the governor summoned him. Ok, in terms of time, he has fully guaranteed that the unexpected event will affect the summons.

Looking up and glancing at the dazzling array of storefronts on the street, he chose a noodle restaurant, went in and ordered a bowl of rice noodles across the bridge, and after eating, he made two phone calls to Cheng Gang.

"Brother Cheng, I've arrived at the provincial government building."

"Have you eaten?"

"Just ate it."

"It's still early, why don't you find a nearby place to rest and recuperate."

"I'll go find a hotel later, I have something to report to Brother Cheng, it's Xu Yunfei's matter, he had a duel with Chao Ping today, he was a little injured, I just came out of the hospital......"

When Cheng Gang heard this, his tone was obviously stern, "I still have a reception task now, you go to my room at the Qingchuan Hotel and wait for me first, and I will ask Cao Fang to send you a room card." ”

Guo Xiaozhou, "um", ended the call.

Guo Xiaozhou walked for five minutes to the lobby of the Qingchuan Hotel, he walked to the leisure area, found a sofa to sit down, and waited for Cheng Gang's secretary Cao Fang to send the room card.

picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and flipped through it, and suddenly, he heard someone call his name, "Xiaozhou...... Guo Xiaozhou, is it really you? ”

Guo Xiaozhou looked for prestige, and opened his mouth to say: "Xie Qiang? With that, he got up and walked towards a small flat-headed man.

The little flat-headed man is not tall, not fat or thin, well-dressed, with a LV square handbag under his armpit, an Apple mobile phone in his left hand, and his steps are full of energy.

Xiao Pingtou's name is Xie Qiang, he is Guo Xiaozhou's alumnus back then, different departments, and the same grade, all belong to the student union. Compared with Guo Xiaozhou, although Xie Qiang was not the chairman and vice chairman, he was a club madman, joined seven or eight clubs, and belonged to the jack-of-all-trades of W University.

Xie Qiang's face was slightly red, probably just drank some wine, he walked towards Guo Xiaozhou, and said to a few companions behind him: "You go first, I met an old classmate, let's talk a few words." ”

The two approached, clasping their hands, Xie Qiang looked Guo Xiaozhou up and down, "Hey! Vice Chairman Guo is getting more and more energetic, picking school flowers in the school back then, and going out of the school gate is even more harmful. ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled, "I haven't seen you for two years, your kid's mouth is becoming more and more poisonous." ”

Xie Qiang took out a pack of top-quality Su cigarettes from his handbag, threw one for Guo Xiaozhou, and took out a lighter to light Guo Xiaozhou, "I heard that you went to Guanghan TV?" It's a pity, who of us didn't envy you back then, Cheng Lao's graduate school was not appropriate, and he went to the TV station to be an editor? How is it working now? ”

Guo Xiaozhou took a symbolic puff of his cigarette and wrote lightly: "I am now working in Huanggang County, in the township below. ”

"Ah...... You can toss it, the more you mess up, the more you get ......" Xie Qiang's eyes showed a trace of puzzlement, he used to admire Guo Xiaozhou very much, whether it was in terms of conversation style and connections, Guo Xiaozhou had to dump him a few streets.

The reason why he worked so hard to join the club back then was to increase his connections. In particular, the student union is a condensed small society, and joining the student union is equivalent to joining the largest and top network of people in the school, and having indirect and direct contact with all the people in this network. Some people don't know now, but after a while, they will be able to get to know each other in all directions, and as long as things will happen, this kind of network can expand like a geometric number.

Xie Qiang's success comes from this. After graduating, he opened a small company, but within three years, it developed into a medium-sized company with assets of more than 10 million. He summed up his success as a result of the huge network he built during his time at university. The group of people who were thriving in the student union back then are now active in major departments and industries in the provinces and cities, and this group of people also has their own network of contacts, so anything in his company can be dragged out and reasonable.

Of course, Guo Xiaozhou is a special specialty. was so beautiful back then, but now there is only Guo Xiaozhou.

"Xiao Zhou, although you are not in Wujiang, you should still take the time to participate in our alumni association activities, look at you, what is the closure now? None of us know if you change jobs, are you out of contact with anyone? Wrong, big mistake! Disconnected from society......"

Guo Xiaozhou humbly admitted his mistake, "I have a mistake, and I will try to participate in the future." ”

"What do you mean by trying to participate? Yes, I must participate. This is my business card, you leave me your number, the next time we have an event, I will notify you, I will send a car to pick you up when the time comes? ”

Guo Xiaozhou took the business card and looked at it, and put it in his pocket seriously.

"By the way, you and Colonel Zuo are ...... now," Xie Qiang suddenly asked in a very gossipy whisper.

Guo Xiaozhou was still organizing the language, Cao Fang hurriedly appeared at the door of the lobby, and when he saw him, he immediately walked over with a smile, "Mayor Guo, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"I also just arrived, so please make such a trip to Director Cao." Guo Xiaozhou made a waiting gesture to Xie Qiang and walked towards Cao Fang.

Xie Qianghu rubbed his head suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice: "Mayor Guo? Director Cao? He is now able to observe the face and color has improved rapidly, he is very keen to see the extraordinaryness of Cao Fang, there is a calm atmosphere in the stock system, he has seen a lot of officials like this, generally the real power in his hands to cultivate the momentum, hidden power.

Therefore, Xie Qiang followed Guo Xiaozhou, took out another business card from his bag, and walked in front of Cao Fang with a smile, "I am Guo Xiaozhou's classmate, Xie Qiang, this is my business card, I have a chance to meet and make friends." ”

Cao Fang politely took the business card and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I came out in a hurry and didn't bring a business card." Nice to meet you. He held out his hand.

Xie Qiang held his hand with a smile on his face, "Xiaozhou's friend is my friend, if there is anything I can help, I must contact me." I'm not good at anything, so I'm good to my friends, and my friends' business is my business. ”

"Definitely!" Cao Fang let go of his hand, took out a room card from his pocket, and handed it to Guo Xiaozhou, "The boss will come over in about half an hour, and Mayor Guo will go to rest first." ”

Guo Xiaozhou took the room card and said politely: "Director Cao, do you want to go to the rest meeting together?" ”

Cao Fang shook his head and said, "I still have a reception task." Go first. ”

"Cao Slow Down!"

Xie Qiang also waved his hand very affectionately: "I have time to contact more!" ”

Seeing Cao Fang out of the hotel lobby, Xie Qiang asked in a low voice, "Which department does this Cao Shi work in?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou said: "The provincial government. ”

Xie Qiang's eyes lit up, "What department of the provincial government?" I know a lot of friends who work in the provincial government......"

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and said, "The secretary of the assistant to the governor." ”

Xie Qiang's pupils dilated, and he stammered, "The secretary of the provincial assistant Cheng Gang? I'm sorry, why didn't you say it earlier, I actually missed such an opportunity......" Xie Qiang looked remorseful, as if he threw a million-dollar lottery ticket.

Guo Xiaozhou was speechless, although he has a clear purpose in dealing with others, he has his own bottom line and principles, and he believes in the reality of mutual benefit. One-sided interactions are unrealistic and unlasting. For example, between him and Cheng Gang, he does have practicality, but to be honest, he helps Cheng Gang more than Cheng Gang helps him.

Therefore, Cheng Gang, as a deputy provincial high-ranking official, called him a brother and sister.

As for the senior brothers who seem to be completely selfless to help him at present, one of the bigger factors is that the senior brothers borrowed the favor of his teacher. Of course, the purpose of their long-term investment is not excluded.

Taken together, he has completely reversed the idea of networking in college. More direct, more symmetrical, more royal.
