Zhang Yang pondered in place for a while, and was awakened by Yu Shumin's exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yang asked softly as she pulled her loose hair.

Yu Shumin's face changed slightly, and she gently pointed to a black Audi parked outside the door, and said in a low voice: "Xia Zizhong's car." ”

Seeing that her face was pale, Zhang Yang hurriedly took her hand and comforted her softly: "It's okay, he's not in there, don't think too much." Saying that, Zhang Yang used her internal strength to help her get rid of the chill on her body, but she was full of melancholy in her heart.

Yu Shumin's heart still can't let go, and the depression in his heart has not been unsolved so far, although he is shocking, he can't do anything about it.

Zhang Yang sighed, glanced at the two people who got out of the car, and said softly: "You go into the house, I'll be back soon." ”

Yu Shumin looked worried, looked at Zhang Yang and hesitated for a while before pleading: "Don't come nonsense, I am over with him, no matter what he says, he is also Xinyu's father." ”

Zhang Yang smiled lightly, scratched her nose and said, "Am I that kind of person, some things are not as simple as you think, you go in first, it's windy outside." ”

"Then you come back early." Yu Shumin admonished, looked back at the two people waiting outside the door, and couldn't say what it felt in her heart.

As soon as Shumin left, Zhang Yang's face turned cold and slowly walked out of the door.

……

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to disturb you."

The person who spoke was Zhang Yang's secretary in Xia Zizhong, but the young man who was next to him was unfamiliar to him.

The young man couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the big secretary talking to the person in front of him so respectfully, but he knew the status of this person, in addition to Secretary Liu, even other members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in Southern Province would greet him politely.

Zhang raised his brows and frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Who asked you to drive this car?" ”

Secretary Yuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart suddenly cooled. Worriedly explained: "I'm sorry, the governor's order is urgent, I happened to be in the car, so I asked Master Liu to send me here." ”

The young people around him were even more surprised, who could make Secretary Yuan so afraid, and what he felt was not only fear, but also unspeakable fear.

He is becoming more and more curious about the Zhang Yang in front of him, living in such a good house, a man who can make the governor's secretary afraid, there are not many people like this in the whole of Huaxia.

But he's not an ordinary person after all. Although he was puzzled in his heart, the expression on his face was calm and did not show a trace of dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yang snorted and said lightly, "What are you doing?" ”

The cold sweat on Secretary Yuan's head kept seeping out, how could this person's coercion feel stronger than before. He had seen Zhang Yang a few times before, but none of them made him feel so depressed.

Except for the secretary of the provincial party committee, Liu. Even Governor Xia didn't put so much pressure on him. His heart couldn't help but be even more worried.

"The governor asked me to invite you to his place for dinner, and he has already rushed back early, you see?" Secretary Yuan looked at Zhang Yang cautiously and said worriedly.

Zhang Yang pondered for a while, wondering what Xia Zizhong was doing with him now, did he want to talk to himself about the upper position?

But he didn't bother to guess. He hadn't seen Xia Zizhong for so long, and this time he took this opportunity to talk openly and honestly, he didn't want Yu Shumin to always live in guilt and self-blame.

Without speaking, Zhang Yang went straight to the Audi parked in front of the door. Sit in the back seat and say nothing.

Secretary Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the young man beside him: "Jianye, you sit next to Mr. Zhang." ”

Saying that, he sat in the passenger seat, leaving the young man to hesitate for a while, but then moved into the car and sat next to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't care, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word all the way, but the young people around him looked at him curiously for a long time, although Zhang Yang sensed it, he didn't take it seriously.

The car quickly entered the compound of the provincial party committee and drove until it stopped slowly in front of the No. 2 villa.

Looking at this familiar place, Zhang Yang sighed for a moment in his heart, and Secretary Yuan in front of him also got out of the car and opened the car door for him.

Zhang Yang's face remained unchanged, he walked out of the car with a calm face, and went directly up the steps and knocked on the door of the villa.

The door opened, and it was Xia Zizhong himself who opened the door, and the two looked at each other for a long time without speaking, until the footsteps of the two people who followed behind interrupted the silent atmosphere.

"Zhang Yang, come in and sit." Xia Zizhong showed a faint smile on his face and invited Zhang Yang into the house.

Zhang Yang nodded, with a chuckle on his face, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Uncle Xia." ”

When a few people entered the house, Secretary Yuan didn't speak, led the young man behind him to sit on the side of the sofa, and he and Xia Zizhong whispered a few words and left.

"Zhang Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you come back to see me." Xia Zizhong didn't seem to introduce the young man next to him, and he didn't seem to know Yu Shumin's situation at all, so he laughed and laughed.

Zhang Yang's face was a little stiff, but he quickly recovered, "I know that Uncle Xia is busy, so it's not good to bother, I was about to come to see you in two days, but I didn't expect Uncle Xia to come to me." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yang's eyes looked at Xia Zizhong, but Xia Zizhong's face was very normal, and there was no change, Zhang Yang couldn't help but shake his head and didn't say more.

The two remained silent for a while, when there was a sudden noise in the kitchen, and a moment later a woman with a dish walked out.

Elegant and dignified, this is Zhang Yang's first impression of a woman, and it also made him rule out the possibility that this woman is a nanny for the first time.

"Zizhong, there are guests, no wonder I am asked to prepare something delicious." The woman didn't seem to know that someone was coming, and when she saw Zhang Yang sitting on the sofa, she smiled at him.

It seems that the woman is very understanding, but Zhang Yang has some indescribable feelings in her heart.

Xia Zizhong's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and when he saw Zhang Yang's eyes looking at him scrutinically, he said in a low voice: "This is your Aunt Wang." As he spoke, he pointed to the young man beside him, with a hint of joy on his face, "This is your younger brother Jianye." ”

Although Zhang Yang had already guessed, he still couldn't believe it in his heart, didn't look at the two, and frowned: "Why did you bring them back!" ”

With the slightest hint of interrogation, several people's faces froze, and Xia Jianye's face changed greatly, and his eyes were full of unkindness.

Xia Zizhong trembled and took out a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, and inhaled it slowly, but there was an indescribable taste on his face in the firelight.

Time seemed to stand still, and the woman standing next to her had red eyes and stood next to her without saying a word.

"Zhang Yang, I'm sorry for Xinyu and their mothers, and I'm even more sorry for your Aunt Wang." Xia Zizhong said slowly, whispering: "Shumin is gone, Xinyu also has her grandfather and your protection, but they have nothing, I can't leave them alone." ”

Zhang Yang was a little irritable, waved his hand and said: "Whatever you want, you are in the rising period now, you know these things better than me, if things are yellow, don't say that I am not dedicated." ”

Saying that, he glanced at a few people, especially the woman, Zhang Yang sighed in his heart, and he couldn't blame the two of them for this.

Standing up and arching his hand, Zhang Yang sighed, "I'm sorry, Aunt Wang." ”

Wang Yuhua was a little at a loss, and hurriedly said softly: "It's okay, you sit down, Auntie will serve you food." As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes and quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then continued: "Does Xinyu know about this? ”

Xia Zizhong nodded, took a puff of cigarette and said in a deep voice: "I told her, she has no opinion, but she just persuaded me to take over Secretary Liu's position and then do it." ”

Zhang Yang didn't speak, and listening to Xia Zizhong's tone, it seemed that he was going to make a big deal, which was simply unimaginable for a person of his status.

However, it can also be seen that he is indeed guilty in his heart, otherwise it would not have been possible to mention this matter during the critical period of his ascent.

Zhang Yang didn't say much, since Xia Xinyu agreed, what else could he say, and it would be good to say this, at least it would make Yu Shumin break the guilt in her heart.

The two were still silent, and Xia Zizhong knocked lightly on the table, only then interrupted: "Jianye, this is your brother-in-law, and you won't say hello when you meet." ”

Xia Jianye glanced at Zhang Yang, feeling a little unsavory, how could this brother-in-law look more powerful than his father.

And seeing that the tone of his speech did not look like treating a senior or father-in-law, this made Xia Jianye feel a strong curiosity in his heart.

He knew Xia Xinyu, Xia Zizhong used to go to see them a lot, and every time he liked to talk about his sister, and he himself secretly watched Xia Xinyu several times when he was young.

When he was in the capital, he had heard a lot of rumors about Xia Xinyu, but he didn't expect that the brother-in-law who was now more difficult to deal with seemed to be more difficult to deal with than his sister.

"Hello brother-in-law." Xia Jianye observed for a long time and did not come to a conclusion, and said a light greeting and stopped talking.

Zhang Yang glanced at him, and a smile appeared on his face, "Yes, make a contribution, you work hard, don't let Uncle Xia down." ”

Xia Zizhong saw Zhang Yang praising his son, and his heart was suddenly happy, and now Zhang Yang's status even he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he naturally hoped that his son would get Zhang Yang's support.

If Zhang Yang doesn't like Xia Jianye, the Xia family will not tilt too many resources for themselves, and relying only on their son's future achievements will be limited.

"This kid is now working in the Secretariat of the Provincial Party Committee, and he will expect your brother-in-law to take care of him in the future." Xia Zizhong said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yang nodded and didn't speak again, but he secretly sighed in his heart that Xia Zizhong had lost his former calm for this son, and now he is in a critical period, although there are several Huajin and the support of the Xia family, but after all, there are not no people who can compete with him.

He actually put his son by his side, which in Zhang Yang's opinion was completely worth the loss.

But he didn't want to say much about this, Xia Zi was probably better than himself, and this was just a way for him to make up for his son.

The few people didn't talk much about it until Wang Yuhua put the dishes on and called a few people to eat, and the three of them walked to the restaurant together. (To be continued......)
