When Zhao Tianyou returned home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

When he basically retold his conversation with Chen Younan to Zhao Xuefeng, Zhao Xuefeng nodded, "If I guessed correctly, Chen Younan will definitely let me go to his house late at night with the materials tonight." ”

"Wouldn't it? In such a hurry? Zhao Tianyou looked at his father with some disbelief, "Anyway, they are all parish heads, so they shouldn't be so unreserved, right?" ”

"Reserved, that's for subordinates." Zhao Xuefeng showed a self-contained smile, "When the word is in charge, where is there any reserve at all?" Li Chengming is not a fool, he will not leave him too much time to react, as long as he makes up his mind, he will react as quickly as possible. ”

Zhao Tianyou asked again: "Then are you going to go?" ”

"Of course go, at this time, if I don't come forward again, Chen Younan should have doubts in his heart." Zhao Xuefeng said without thinking.

"I'm ......" Zhao Tianyou turned his head angrily, "Since you are planning to meet him, why do you still let me meet him, isn't it superfluous?" When you go over and talk to him in the afternoon, won't everything be fine? Why bother so much? ”

"You don't understand this, come, let Dad teach you." Zhao Xuefeng took a sip of water, put on a posture, and then began to raise his face, "What are you doing this afternoon?" To put it mildly, it is to sell oneself and take refuge. Chen Younan and I know this very well. Many people think that selling themselves to seek refuge is a very simple matter, just shameless. Let me tell you, those who think this way have never been in officialdom. You must know that selling yourself and taking refuge in these four words is the first knowledge of officialdom. Even if you're a complete waste who doesn't know anything, as long as you're good at it, you'll still be on the rise. ”

"Selling yourself and taking refuge is still knowledgeable?" Zhao Tianyou blinked speechlessly, "What knowledge?" ”

"Look, what are we talking about? Prostitution! Not dedication! There is a meaning of trading in the sale, not for free, right? ”

"yes, and then?"

"Is there a question of price when you sell yourself? If it's an ordinary business, it's easy to do, how much my goods are worth, how much you have to give me, if it is higher than that, you will sell, and if it is lower than that, you will not sell. But the problem is, you're not selling goods, you're selling yourself. Also, the object of your betrayal is not an ordinary person, it is your boss, if you directly tell him the conditions, then you still sell yourself? Isn't that a threat? So, what about this price? How can you make people think you're valuable? Isn't that learning? ”

Zhao Tianyou nodded suddenly in understanding, "Dad, what you said is quite reasonable...... Well, I see. You actually wanted to talk to Chen Younan about the conditions in the afternoon, but because you yourself are that kind of goods, it is not good to sell yourself and boast, and because you will have to work with him for a long time in the future, so you don't want him to have a problem in his heart, so you let me go. Because I have two advantages, one is that I am only a middle school student, and when I talk to him about the conditions, he will not be so restrictive, but will find it interesting. The second is that I am a third party, which is somewhat equivalent to an intermediary relationship, which can make the transaction between you less naked. Now that he knows your reserve price, then if he calls you again, it is actually tantamount to acquiescing to your conditions. At this time, you can jump out, run to his house, pretend to be loyal and only talk about things, don't care about the conditions, show your talents, and at the same time ask him to give you an interview, right? ”

After listening to Zhao Tianyou's words, Zhao Xuefeng immediately raised his head and laughed, "The son can be taught." ”

"Alas, there are too many twists and turns in your official speech, which is really tiring. I used to think that we high school students were the most exhausting profession in the world. Now it seems that it is still a little worse than the official. At most, we will have a make-up class on Saturday, and we can rest on Sunday, and your heads in charge of officials really have to be rotated even when you sleep, otherwise if you are not careful, you may be turned to death. Zhao Tianyou sighed, looked at Zhao Xuefeng, and asked, "Dad, you really think about it, will you have to live like this every day in the future?" ”

Zhao Xuefeng's originally smiling face slowly sank at this time, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "The reason why I hid in such a small place and didn't move before was because I didn't want to live this kind of life. However, no matter what, since you have chosen to go back to this old path, no matter how much you don't like it, or even how painful it is, you must stick to it...... The people of our old Zhao family, either don't take this road, or let others have no way to go. ”

While Zhao Tianyou was deeply shocked by his father's bold words, he also felt his father's deep helplessness.

In order to make the atmosphere less depressing, Zhao Tianyou stood up with a smile, put his arm on his father's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Dad, how many people think that they can't be the governor." You're about to become a man, so don't look like Lin Daiyu like this. As a son, I would like to take a stand first. Although you once did not want to be motivated, now, thanks to your own hard work and the strong support of your son, you have finally found a new beginning. Don't underestimate this small step, this is a small step in your personal official career, but it is a big step in your son's career. ”

The son of the deputy section level is embarrassed to say that he is a gentleman, and the words of the director's son are barely counted.

"Seeing this, your son feels sincerely gratified, and I want to say to you from the bottom of my heart, Dad, you are worthy of my eighteen years of training for you. However, Comrade Zhao Xuefeng, you must win, not be arrogant or discouraged, continue to move forward, and fight for your son's career for the rest of your life. ”

Zhao Tianyou said this, clenched his fists in his chest, and made an oath, this funny appearance washed away all the faint sadness in Zhao Xuefeng's heart, he laughed again, and nodded while laughing, "Okay, it's decided, fight for Zhao Tianyou's career for life." ”

Just when the two fathers and sons were enjoying themselves, Zhao Tianyou's mobile phone rang again.

Zhao Tianyou took out his mobile phone and looked at it, was stunned, and turned his head to look at Zhao Xuefeng, "Dad, you are too godly." ”

The number displayed on the mobile phone is none other than Chen Mengqi. For other girls, Zhao Tianyou may still have the slightest illusion, but for Chen Mengqi, Zhao Tianyou does not dare to imagine that she will take the initiative to call him when there is nothing to do.

And now at this time, Chen Mengqi did call, so it can only prove one thing, that is, this call was made by her father.

And the truth is just as Zhao Tianyou thought, when he just picked up the phone, he heard a calm baritone on the other side of the phone.

After a brief conversation, Zhao Tianyou handed over the phone to Zhao Xuefeng.

The two didn't talk much on the phone, only talked for about three minutes, Zhao Xuefeng hung up the phone, and then took all the information and went out.

And this time, Zhao Tianyou stayed at home and waited for news.

Zhao Tianyou waited for almost three hours, and three hours later, just when Zhao Tianyou was almost asleep, Zhao Xuefeng finally came back.

Unlike Zhao Tianyou's imagination, Zhao Xuefeng's face looked extremely solemn.

"What's wrong? Isn't it good to talk about? Zhao Tianyou asked a little confused.

Zhao Xuefeng shook his head, "The conversation was very good, Chen Younan basically trusted me completely. And I could feel that I was able to show more than he could imagine. He clearly hinted to me that if everything worked out this time, he would have the ability to establish his own faction in Jin Jiang. And at that point, he wanted me to be a significant member of his faction. He even wanted to test to see if I had any special background behind me. ”

"You told him?" Zhao Tianyou asked.

"Of course not, he's not at the level where he knows all my hole cards."

Regarding Zhao Xuefeng's words, Zhao Tianyou did not have the slightest doubt, from the perspective of a third party, it was not subjective at all, he felt that the ability that his father had shown in the past few days was obviously not at the same level as Chen Younan.

Even Chen Mengqi's biological father said the same.

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Zhao Tianyou smiled, "Everything is going well, such a good result, then what are you doing with a sad face?" ”

"Chen Younan didn't have a thorough tone at all, but I could see that there was still a faint glimmer of worry in his heart."

Zhao Tianyou shrugged, "What did I think, it turned out to be this, isn't this normal?" How can a powerful deputy mayor get rid of another equally powerful deputy mayor without risk? Chen Mengqi and his father are a little uneasy in their hearts, right? ”

"Nope." Zhao Xuefeng categorically denied, "This is absolutely abnormal. If it is something else, it is understandable, but now that Li Chengming's evidence has been collected to the point where it is now, under normal circumstances, there is absolutely no possibility of turning over. And in this case, Chen Younan still has a trace of hidden worries in his heart, what does this mean? It shows that Li Chengming still has something that makes them feel jealous, and the power of this kind of thing is beyond the normal situation. ”

"Beyond normal power, what is that?" Zhao Tianyou asked puzzled.

Zhao Xuefeng shook his head slowly, "I lack enough information right now, so I can't make an accurate judgment. However, I suspect that it may be related to the Four Great Families or the Nine Great Families. ”

"Huh?" For a long time, things like the Four Great Families and the Nine Great Families have been legends or stories, but now they suddenly became so close to their own reality, Zhao Tianyou was suddenly a little confused, "That...... So what to do? ”

Zhao Xuefeng pondered for a moment, and patted his hand on the coffee table, "Now that the matter is now, there is no way back, no matter what happens, there is only to face the difficulties." ”
