There are also wealthy and powerful people, some car owners drive Ferrari or oil sports cars and don't think the clothes are enough, and they don't hesitate to take the canopy all the way to "go for a ride" in order to turn around: on the contrary, there is a type of car owner who would rather drive an unpopular luxury car with a low-key appearance and price, dressed as a "passer-by" and mingle in the sea of traffic, enjoying that exclusive sense of quality. But whether it is swaggering through the market or "hiding in the city" is an understandable attitude to life, and those men who drive low-key luxury cars have a bit of a mysterious and introverted aristocratic atmosphere, which arouses curiosity.

The car sent by Manshantun was a Skoda Haorui, an unknown mid-range European car that belonged only to those who were unassuming but demanding of quality. Just like Manshantun's personal style, it is elegant and restrained, which is in line with the golden mean of Chinese culture.

The license plate is not ordinary, the Beijing A8 series, the identity symbol of the ministerial-level leader, and the label of the most powerful class in Kyoto City. Absolutely alone on Chang'an Street, flat Kyoto City.

The driver of the car knows at a glance that it is well-trained, it should be stable, it should be crisp, the purpose of driving is simple and clear, and the leader will be delivered to the destination in the safest way and the fastest degree.

I will never play on the road and be prestigious.

On the way to pick up Peng Fang, Jin Yang chatted with him casually. I learned that he was a veteran of the Central Guard Bureau, and had driven a road car and an honor guard car for national leaders. Belongs to the kind of people who have seen the big world.

Even so, when he learned that Jin Yang was going to visit Zhao Lao in the afternoon, his face was also moved.

A face that is neither humble nor arrogant flows out of curiosity and suspicion about Jin Yang.

"Zhao Lao hasn't seen visitors for several years, it's really rare." Fortunately, he has served by the side of the big leader for many years and knows what to ask and what not to ask. So he didn't ask Jin Yang what his origin was, what road he had taken, and he actually let Zhao Lao open the door to accept customers.

"Yes! Good luck. Jin Yang said vaguely.

The driver didn't talk much, but suddenly he opened the conversation, "Old Zhao still lives in Xishan, right?" ”

Jin Yang nodded, "Kyoto Nishiyama No. 8 Compound." ”

The driver complimented: "What a place! I've been to the West Hill No. 5 compound before, and the outside looks like a small prison, but the interior is decorated with a new entry. In the past, there has always been a folk proverb in old Beijing that "the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is cheap." But now it is still rich in the east and expensive in the west, but the south is not poor and the north is not cheap, they are all rich. There is not a single poor person to be found within the Fifth Ring Road. Pick any head of household to come out, and it is worth millions. ”

Jin Yang was curious: "Don't national leaders live in Zhongnanhai?" ”

The driver smiled: "How many years ago did I live in Zhongnanhai." Almost all of them moved out after the seventies. Xishan, Yuquan Mountain, Xinliusuo, Fuyou Street, Nanchizi ........., are very scattered.

But Zhongnanhai definitely has their housing, which they use for office breaks. Most of the time I spend my time with my family. For example, the Xihua Hall where Mr. Zhou lived back then was in disrepair, and he did not agree to Hua Qian's rectification, but in winter, it was leaking everywhere and the cold was pressing. In fact, the residence of the leader of the country is not owned by the individual, the ownership belongs to the state, and even the furniture is rented, and the money must be collected every year after death. I heard from veterans of the Guard Bureau that at that time, a cup of tea in the Great Hall of the People was a matter of money. ”

"What do you say?"

The driver explained: "There are several allusions, the most widely spread of which refers to the east and west cities of the inner city. This means that most of the aristocratic giants lived in the west city, and the warehouses and other business-related facilities were distributed in the east city, so most of the merchants lived here, forming a phenomenon of separation. There is also a saying that there are many mansions of wealthy people in the east city, and there are many noble mansions in the west city. South poverty refers to the front door is the three religions and nine streams, the place where the working people live, and the overpass is a place for the working people to entertain. Beibei refers to the north of the city, that is, the bell and drum tower and the place to the north to Deshengmen, where some palace ladies and eunuchs' families live there, because of their low status, so they are called Beibei. ”

When the car arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Finance, Jin Yang listened to the driver for half an hour and benefited a lot.

Peng Fang and the classmate from the Central Party School of the Ministry of Finance walked out of the door three minutes later. The two simply shook hands and said goodbye. Jin Yang got out of the co-pilot and opened the car door for Peng Fang early.

Peng Fang walked to the Skoda Haorui car, looked at the license plate, and frowned slightly. He has studied at the Central Party School more than once, and he is much more familiar with Kyoto than Jin Yang. At least he knew that the Xihai Beijing Office couldn't get this kind of license plate.

But he didn't speak immediately, but walked into the car and sat in the back seat very casually, raised his wrist to look at the time, and wrote lightly: "There is still enough time, go to Fuyou Street first." ”

The driver slowly started the car.

Due to the presence of the driver, Jin Yang and Peng Fang did not have too deep exchanges, and only talked about the Guanghan mining area.

Peng Fang neither nodded nor shook his head, nor did he speak, just listened.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive at an alley on Fuyou Street. Peng Fang ordered not to drive in, and called Jin Yang out of the car alone, and the two came to a courtyard.

In this process, Jin Yang succinctly explained Fan Yang's actions in the Beijing Office, and then told Peng Fang why he didn't use the people and cars of the Beijing Office to borrow the car full of seats of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Peng Fang looked at Jin Yang and said, "The ability to adapt is good. You wait outside the door, I'll come in a moment. ”

After saying that, Peng Fang made a phone call, and the door of the courtyard then opened, and he walked in, and came out five minutes later, with a small convenience bag in his hand.

Jin Yang took the initiative to reach out and take it, and secretly weighed it a few times in his hand, which was a little weighty.

Peng Fang said: "Fan Yang at least said a word correctly. Let's go to see Zhao Lao, how can we go empty-handed. Although this Venus Duan Yan is not worth much, it can at least express our admiration for his old man. ”

"Yes! I heard that Zhao Lao liked calligraphy in his later years, and this inkstone is just right as a gift. ”

Jin Yang echoed. Then he said: "The head of the China Securities Regulatory Commission knows that Peng Shu has entered Beijing, and wants to invite you to a light meal, I don't know when you have time." ”

Peng Xinxin was full of emotion at that time, he knew what kind of weighty person Manshantun was, and how many provincial party committee secretaries and provincial governors lined up in Beijing to invite him to dinner. Why did Man Shantun invite him to dinner, it was not to see his face as a secretary. There is also the meeting of Zhao Lao, although later, Zhao Miao is a key person but there is no Jin Yang's connection, he and Zhao Miao are far from each other, even if they meet at a certain meeting, it is impossible to become "friends".

Other secretaries rely on the leadership of the fox and the tiger, but he is a good secretary, and his ability in some aspects is stronger than his leader.

Peng Fang applauded his original choice more and more. If you listen to Yao Yimin's words, you didn't use Jin Yang as your secretary. Then the current Xihai and the Provincial Party Committee must be a different picture.

"Of course I will go to the feast full of the Lord's table. You convey for me the greetings to the full Lord's seat, and the time and place are determined by the full Lord's seat, and we will follow the local customs. ”

Jin Yang nodded and said okay. Immediately pull out the phone.

When the two walked to the Skoda Haorui car, "Jin Yang had already finished the call with Man Shantun, and whispered while pulling the car door: "Man said tonight." ”

Peng Fang bent down to get into the car and nodded calmly.

Jin Yang got into the co-pilot and said to the driver: "Go to the No. 8 compound in Xishan." ”

The car started quickly and arrived at Xishan at four o'clock in the afternoon. Since there is still half an hour before the agreed time

When the car stopped in front of Biyun Temple in Xishan, the driver said to go down and smoke a cigarette. Jin Yang was about to accompany Peng Fang to go around the tree-lined path outside Biyun Temple a few times, when he suddenly received a call from Xuanxuan asking him where he had been. He told the truth and waited in front of the mountain gate of Biyun Temple.

"Wait for me" I'll come right over. Xuanxuan hung up the phone in a hurry.

Jin Yang fed a few times, but to no avail, he smiled bitterly at Peng Fang: "Old Zhao's great-granddaughter is coming."

Her father was the vice-president of the Military Art Academy. Peng Fangzhi has learned about the origin of the connection between Jin Yang and the Zhao family. knew that he had inadvertently saved a certain future member of the Zhao family. also knew that the news was infinitely blocked by the Xihai Public Security Bureau, and the people who knew about it were limited to a few members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

He smiled slightly, but did not say a word. Xindao: This kid doesn't know whether it's a good fate or a good fortune, and when he was young, he gently hung up with the Zhao family's profound red sè gate valve "It is said that he has also been favored by the daughter of the Su family, and he entered the door of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection at will. It's not a little bit stronger than I was back then. The most important thing is that Jin Yang did not become arrogant because of this, and in the two months he served as his secretary, he behaved modestly and treated people with easy-going "There is a low-key style that he admires."

Five minutes later, a black red flag extended bulletproof car slowly stopped in the "Guang" field in front of the mountain gate of Biyun Temple, which immediately attracted many pilgrims to take pictures and onlookers. As soon as the car stopped, a young girl hurriedly jumped out, her bright eyes looking around.

"Xuanxuan! I'm here. Jin Xuan beckoned to Zhao Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan jumped and ran over. Two men in civilian clothes got out of the Hongqi car, one of them followed her vigilantly, and the other looked around to see if there was anything abnormal.

Since the last time Xuanxuan almost had an accident, the Zhao family's protection of her has risen to a new height. As soon as Xuanxuan leaves the house, the security work will be carried out in an orderly manner.

"Uncle, you lied to me." Jin Yang was just about to reach out and hug him," Xuanxuan braked suddenly, pursed her lips and said angrily.

"Uncle is really busy" Tomorrow, I'll go play with you tomorrow, how about it?" Jin Yang soothed and took her hand.

"We're going to have class tomorrow!" Xuanxuan muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Xuanxuan, let me introduce to you, this is my uncle's leader, Peng ...... of Xihai Uncle. ”

Jin Yang wanted to talk about Grandpa Peng, but when he thought about it, it was inappropriate, and he not only shouted Peng Fang's age too much, but also did not fit side by side with Zhao Lao.

"Hello Uncle Leader!" Xuanxuan shouted sweetly at Peng Fang, Peng Fang was about to reach out to Mo her head and praise a few words like "beautiful and smart", but she didn't think that Xuanxuan didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she turned her head, took Jin Yang's hand, and said playfully: "Why don't you go to Biyun Temple to play now......

Others have been the provincial party committee secretary and remembered the big people, but in her eyes, all the grandfathers and uncles who are qualified to go to her grandfather's house are all famous people in China. Moreover, she has her pride, and not everyone is qualified to stroke her head.

Jin Yang was slightly stunned, "Not now, you look at the time, we have to go to see your grandfather, don't dare to be late." ”

Xuanxuan blinked, and said with a quirky smile: "I guarantee that grandpa will not be angry with you." ”

Jin Yang was so worn out by her that she had no choice but to draw a big cake for her first, "Otherwise, Uncle will pick you up to play in Wujiang this summer, and you can play for a summer vacation."

What do you think? ”

She raised her pure starry eyes and looked at Jin Yang, pondering slightly, probably judging the truth and reliability of the truth, and suddenly she smiled and put out her jade fingers, pretending to be old-fashioned, and said: "Deal." ”

After getting Xiao Xuanxuan, Jin Yang and Peng Fang breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Then Xuanxuan got on Jin Yang's Skoda Haorui, and Peng Fang had to "aggrieved" to get into the passenger seat and give up the back seat to her and Jin Yang.

Skoda Haorui was in front, Hongqi was behind, and the two cars came to a quiet alley one after the other.

An ancient courtyard towered before them, with no features on the door, neither a couplet nor a house number. The steps are not high, the number of three steps.

Xuanxuan took Jin Yang's hand and went straight to the courtyard, and Jin Yang turned around and smiled bitterly at Peng. Peng Fang nodded at him. Meaning: It doesn't matter.

A middle-aged man appeared at the gate of the courtyard to greet him. He is Zhao Lao's secretary, surnamed Hong, and has followed Zhao Lao for nearly thirteen years, and his rank six years ago was the main hall, if he was willing to go out in his early years, he is now at least a prince of a large province.

His bearing is peaceful, without any official pretensions, but a little elegant. After a few words of greeting with the tent, he led Peng Fang and Jin Yang to the main courtyard, pointed to the ancient and fragrant wing room on one side and said, "Old Zhao is in the study, please come in." ”

Peng was slightly stunned, Secretary Hong said "two please come in", which was a bit unexpected for him, in addition to seeing him, Zhao Lao also had the intention of meeting Jin Yang.

Jin Yang didn't have so much, first, he thought that Zhao Lao took it for granted that he saved Zhao Lao's baby daughter, he was a benefactor, and it was not an exaggeration to see a benefactor. Second, Zhao Xuanxuan has been biting her tongue and whispering to him, and it is difficult for him to be distracted to think about it so much.

Entering the study, whether it was as atmospheric as Peng Fang or Jin Yang, who was bolder than the sky, couldn't help but breathe slightly, restrain his mind, and walk carefully, lest he alarm the old man who was writing with a pen after the long case.

Zhao Lao is ninety-six years old this year, but he looks only in his eighties, although he can't talk about the crane child's face, but his thin figure and white head definitely look a little bit fairy-like feeling.

Secretary Hong pointed to the sand slightly, meaning to invite the two of them to sit down. Then he gently poured tea for Peng Fang and Jin Yang.

Peng Fang sat on the sand in a regular manner, tǐng straightened his waist, his hands on his knees, and his expression was serious.

The first time Jin Yang came into contact with this grass-fed veteran who was only in Chinese legends, his hands were so nervous that he was sweating. This old man was the main leader of the country back then, and he played a role in turning the tide in the world-renowned chaos and rectification, not to mention him, it was difficult for idle provincial and ministerial-level cadres to see him.

Zhao Xuanxuan also quieted down after entering the room, she quietly walked behind the old man, watched the old man write, and couldn't help but read it softly: "Don't fight, don't hurt your vitality: don't be greedy, have bright eyes; Don't be angry, the gods are harmonious: don't worry, the bottom of your heart is cool; Don't ask: not humble or arrogant: not persistent, can be round and square......"a.
