First meeting

After breakfast, those sons and brothers drove away one after another, and Xiao Chu also took Chen Dong with him. Qin Zihe actually slept well last night, but he couldn't stand He Yuanxin's persuasion, so he had to go back to the room, drinking tea and watching TV, and when it was almost ten o'clock, He Yuanxin called and asked Qin Zihe to go downstairs.

Sitting in He Yuanxin's Toyota, the car drove all the way to Xishan. He Yuanxin received a call from He Shengli in the morning, and He Shengli told him that he was taking a plane at 8 o'clock in the morning, arriving in Beijing at 9:30, and then going directly to Xishan, where He Lao lived, which meant to meet Qin Zihe first, and then decide whether to let him see He Lao. He Yuanxin could only agree, he set off from the club at ten o'clock, and the time to arrive at Xishan was about the same as He Shengli.

He Yuanxin said to Qin Zihe while driving the car about the precautions for going to the Xishan Villa, Qin Zihe grew up in the military commission, although he didn't have much contact with Chu Lao, and he also knew the rules of the deep mansion compound where these leaders lived, and while looking at the scenery outside the window, he nodded and agreed to know.

Qin Zihe saw the Toyota car driven by He Yuanxin, and thought to himself that he was so rich how could he still drive this kind of car, he was fully capable of buying a luxury car, and only a luxury car would be in line with his son-in-law status. So I couldn't help asking: "Second brother, why do you still drive this Toyota when you are so rich, why don't you get a good car?" ”

He Shengli smiled and said helplessly: "Of course I also like good cars, but the old man doesn't agree, he doesn't even agree with me to buy Audi, saying that he is the longest in the province to sit in Audi, why should I have to get an inconspicuous car like Toyota, but it's okay to drive"

After the armed police on duty saw the special pass posted on the window in front of He Yuanxin, they waved their hands to raise the railing and let them go. After entering the boundary of the West Mountain and driving for a distance, it arrived at the hinterland of the West Mountain, looking from afar, there is a huge villa group on the hillside in front, saying that it is a villa group, in fact, there are few high-rise buildings, the highest is only a three-storey small building, giving Qin Zihe the feeling, this villa group is more like the courtyard house of old Beijing, and each courtyard is hidden in the flowers and green willows.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, it is heavily guarded and the inspection is much stricter than the perimeter. In front of the checkpoint, He Yuanxin stopped the car and handed the documents to an armed police officer who came to interrogate, although the armed police officer knew He Yuanxin, who often came and went here, and saw that he was with a stranger, he still interrogated him, He Yuanxin introduced Qin Zihe's identity, and the officer checked his work card again, and then let him go.

The car went all the way up the wide mountain road, stopped in front of a huge courtyard halfway up the mountain, He Yuanxin pressed the horn three times in a row to call the door, and after a while, the small door in the gate opened, and an armed police lieutenant poked his head out to check, He Yuanxin poked his head out and waved hello, and the lieutenant turned around and opened the door.

He Yuanxin honked his horn to signal to the lieutenant, drove into the compound, and drove until he stopped in front of the three-story main building. Although this is the main building in the compound, He Lao does not live here, he lives in a bungalow behind the main building, which is mainly occupied by guests and service personnel.

Qin Zihe and He Yuanxin got out of the car, and a middle-aged woman in her forties greeted them from the main building. When He Yuanxin saw it, he asked, "Mother Wu, has my uncle come back?" ”

Mother Wu said with a smile on her face: "Second son, Governor He hasn't arrived yet, he asked you to wait for him in the small living room for a while." ”

"Well, I know" He Yuanxin agreed, and under the fuse of Wu **, Qin Zihe entered the main building of the villa with him, and came to a small living room on the second floor, and Wu's mother made tea for them before retreating.

The small living room is very simple to decorate, but very elegant, in addition to a circle of sofa in the middle of a few tea tables, a tea cabinet is placed in the corner, there are several tea boxes and tea sets in the tea cabinet, there are two thermos on the cabinet, and then there is nothing else, there is an ink landscape painting on the snow-white wall in front, there are words inscribed on it, and there is a bright red seal at the place of payment. There is a word on the side wall, there is a cursive font, and there is also an inscription, a signature and a seal, which is from the hand of a famous artist. Because Qin Zihe didn't have much research on calligraphy and painting, he didn't come forward to take a closer look.

Qin Zihe and He Yuanxin didn't sit for long, and the sound of footsteps was transmitted outside the door, and Mother Wu gently knocked on the open door of the small living room and said, "Second son, Governor He is here." Immediately, He Shengli appeared in front of the door.

"Uncle" He Yuanxin and Qin Zihe both stood up when they heard this, and He Yuanxin called He Shengli. He Shengli walked in and nodded at He Yuanxin, then turned to Qin Zihe, his eyes couldn't help flashing.

Qin Zihe's feeling to He Shengli was the same as He Yuanxin's, he had a very familiar feeling at the first sight of Qin Zihe, and it was that kind of very close familiarity, He Shengli had read countless people, and Yan had never had this feeling, even when he saw that he liked his nephew He Yuanxin very much, which made him very strange in his heart, Qin Zihe He had never seen it, how could he have this feeling, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

When Qin Zihe saw He Shengli, he was very excited, similar to the image he had seen in his previous life, He Shengli's figure was tall and burly, and his cold face revealed a kind of unsurpassed majesty, which was a unique temperament of a superior person, which would make people feel oppressed. It's just that when Qin Zihe saw He Shengli in his previous life, he was a little older than this time.

He Yuanxin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, this is the Qin Zihe I told you, the director of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Songjiang Provincial Department of Transportation. Then he introduced Qin Zihe and said: "This is my uncle I told you, the governor of Jiangnan Province."

Qin Zihe stabilized his excited emotions, took a step forward and bowed slightly, saying: "Governor He is good" Before he was sure whether He Shengli would shake hands with him, Qin Zihe's hand did not stretch out, so as not to cause He Shengli's unhappiness.

People's first impressions are very important, and impressions are a wonderful thing. Before returning to Beijing, for the sake of prudence, He Shengli called his old classmate Wang Guozhong to learn about Qin Zihe's situation, Qin Zihe can be said to be Wang Guozhong's proud protégé, of course Wang Guozhong will not be stingy with his good words, but these good words are based on Qin Zihe's ability, which made He Shengli know more about Qin Zihe, and also knew that the reason why Qin Zihe was promoted so quickly was not entirely due to the care of his old classmate Wang Guozhong, but related to his extraordinary ability to engage in economy. Finding investors for two expressways in Songjiang Province in a row is not something that anyone can do

He Shengli smiled rarely, he stretched out his hand to Qin Zihe and said, "Director Xiao Qin is really a talent."

He Shengli took the initiative to stretch out his hand, which surprised Qin Zihe a little, but he controlled his emotions very well, and took a step forward to shake hands with He Shengli. He Shengli shook Qin Zihe's hand hard before letting go, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, Director Xiao Qin, come and sit down and talk." ”

After everyone sat down, Wu's mother made He Shengli a cup of tea, and then withdrew. He Shengli was in a good mood, and he talked more, mainly chatting with Qin Zihe about some family matters, such as, how old is this year, whether he has a family, where he is from, why he returned to China to work after studying in the United States, etc., of course, he asked about the fact that many international students choose to stay and work in the country.

Qin Zihe answered truthfully one by one, when answering where he was from, Qin Zihe said that he was a native of Huihe, and after graduating with a master's degree in the United States, according to his mother's wishes, he decided to return to China to serve his hometown and contribute to the construction of his hometown. He said it very skillfully, saying that it was according to his mother's wishes, not saying that it was his last wish.

He Shengli said with great emotion: "Director Xiao Qin, you have a good mother, if those who study abroad are like you, then our country's economic development will be faster."

After chatting for a while, He Shengli said to He Yuanxin: "Yuanxin, you sit with Director Xiao Qin for a while, and I will go to the backyard to see your grandfather, see how his physical condition is this year, and call you over later." ”

"Okay, uncle." He Yuanxin hurriedly said. He knew that He Shengli said this and agreed to let Qin Zihe see his grandfather, he went to his grandfather first where is the first grandfather to communicate, after all, with a person of He Lao's status, after retirement, ordinary people will not be seen, and it is not easy for even officials with a certain level to see him, let alone a small director like Qin Zihe.

He Shengli walked for about half an hour, and Wu's mother walked in and said, "Second son, Governor He invites you to the backyard." ”

"Okay, Mother Wu" He Yuanxin was very happy when he heard it, and called Qin Zihe to go downstairs together and go to the bungalow in the backyard. Walking to the main entrance of the bungalow, He Lao's secretary Xie Yuanting was waiting at the door, and when he saw He Yuanxin and Qin Zihe coming, he said, "Yuanxin, you come with me." ”

He Yuanxin nodded at Xie Yuanting and said with a smile: "Uncle Xie, I'm sorry for you" Judging from Xie Yuanting's title to He Yuanxin and He Yuanxin's attitude towards him, Xie Yuanting has a very high status in the He family.

Xie Yuanting took Qin Zihe and He Yuanxin to He Lao's study, knocked lightly on the door and said, "Chief, they are here." ”

"Come in," said an old but majestic voice in the room.

Xie Yuanting pushed the door and motioned for He Yuanxin and Qin Zihe to enter. Qin Zihe walked into the study with He Yuanxin, and he saw an old man with a wrinkled face and an old face, but his eyes were bright, sitting in a Teng chair, looking at him. Qin Zihe had never seen his grandfather in his previous life, and seeing that his face was somewhat similar to that of his father He Shengli, he had a very cordial feeling, knowing that this must be the legendary He Lao, his own grandfather

He Yuanxin took Qin Zihe to He Lao's approach and called grandpa. Qin Zihe also stepped forward and bowed slightly and saluted, "Good chief"

"Hmm" He Lao nodded and said, "Director Xiao Qin, yes, sit down" X
