Zhonghai, the proud city of the Republic.

It is often said that in Yanjing, don't say that you are a big official, and in Zhonghai, don't say that you have a lot of money.

In fact, Zhonghai, who is full of wine and wine, is not only so simple as having a lot of money, this point, Chen Mingyuan, who was born in a wealthy and powerful family in Zhonghai, could not be clearer, a city where the secretaries of the previous municipal party committees must be members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the water is deep, and it is bottomless at all. Therefore, the drowning of a few city-level cadres in the political circles of other cities is basically shocking news, but the drowning of a few high-ranking officials at the provincial and ministerial level or even higher levels here in Zhonghai may not be able to set off a monstrous wave, and no matter how big the ripples are, they will quickly calm down, as if nothing happened.

In the middle of summer, the blue sky is dotted with white clouds, like a blazing temperature, the huge and sophisticated city machinery of Zhonghai is still in high-speed operation, in the bright sunshine, roads, high-rise buildings, and mighty cars and people, turned into a part of the picture scroll that dots this season.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, the old house of the Chen family in the suburbs is much quieter, with a little shade falling between the courtyards, the smell of cooking tea on the corner of the courtyard, and the falling shade of the plane trees rendering the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard mottled and fragmented, and at the same time, there is a concise and cool reading and broadcasting sound.

Under the shade of the sycamore tree, Mr. Chen was sitting in the rocking chair, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, facing the gentle breeze, listening to the current political news broadcast on the radio.

With the sound of the car stopping outside, after a while, the iron gate was pushed open, and the footsteps came from far and near, and along the tree-lined path, a slender and handsome man jumped into view.

Seeing him, the old man smiled rarely.

Chen Mingyuan frowned, and walked over and said, "Grandpa, the sun is poisoning, let's go to the house." ”

Old Man Chen just waved his hand, and Sister Li, a special nurse on the side, smiled bitterly: "The old chief said that he was suffocating in the house, and he insisted on coming out to breathe." ”

Chen Mingyuan knew that the old man was strong, and others couldn't be disobedient at all, so he didn't say more.

The old man sighed leisurely: "I've talked a few times, you are a decent cadre, what's the matter if you don't do your job all day long?" ”

"Anyway, there was nothing to do on the weekend, but now that the highway is open again, it takes less than two hours to go back and forth."

Chen Mingyuan sat on the chair next to him, glanced at the messy chessboard, and asked, "Did a guest come just now?" ”

The old man nodded, took a sip of cold tea, and said lightly: "An old comrade came to visit, and everyone talked a few words. ”

Chen Mingyuan didn't get to the bottom of it, as the party congress is approaching, there will naturally be no fewer guests who come to visit the old man, as for the purpose, it is self-evident!

The old man should be the most respected boss in Zhonghai City at present, and at this delicate stage, his decisions and opinions are destined to affect the future of many interest groups and officials in Zhonghai.

In fact, at this time, most of the personnel changes and rotations of many big plates have been finalized, of course, in the process, the games and compromises of the major factions and groups, but I don't know how thrilling and ups and downs the road is!

However, as soon as he saw his grandfather's increasingly weak complexion, Chen Mingyuan understood that the old man had put a lot of effort into the affairs of the family and the faction, and he heard his mother say that the old man had become more and more obviously lacking in mental strength for a while, and his physical condition was deteriorating, and it was for this reason that Chen Mingyuan came back to visit.

In the previous life, at this time, it was not far from grandpa's limit.

Unspeakable sadness came to his heart, and Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but persuade: "Grandpa, don't work too hard, your body is important." ”

"It's okay, it's idle to be idle, and it's quite good to pass the time by playing chess and chatting with old friends."

The old man put down the teacup, and then instructed Sister Li to go to the house to serve a bowl of iced lotus seed soup, raised a few smiles, and asked, "It's you, it's been going well in Qiantang recently, right?" ”

Chen Mingyuan said succinctly: "It's not bad, compared to before, the work is a lot more leisurely, and nothing major has happened."

After Ji Mingtang's fall, Dongjiang Province has returned to the long-lost calm after the initial turmoil, and there is a harmonious and harmonious situation.

After all, Ning Lizhong and Governor Bai are already on the verge of stepping down, and no amount of struggle for power and profit will have any impact on the overall situation, so naturally no one will be idle to waste their efforts and means.

As a result, Secretary Chen has nothing to do a lot of time, and idle words are not enough to describe his leisurely and comfortable days, 9 to 5 every day, full of food, drink, good sleep, good spirits, and a few more fat flesh in his body.

The old man's situation with his grandson was naturally as transparent as watching a fire, and when he heard this, he just nodded lightly and muttered: "During this time, did Ning Lizhong mention anything to you?" For example, the arrangement of your future work. ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled and said: "I talked twice, and I also asked my family if there are any work arrangements for me?" ”

The old man smiled, and said: "This Ning Lizhong is also slippery enough, you have saddled him for so long, there is no credit and hard work, in the end, I don't arrange it for you, but I put the responsibility on our family!" ”

However, everyone can see that Ning Lizhong is worried that the Chen family has already arranged a way for Chen Mingyuan, if this is the case, he will work blindly for half a day, not only will it seem redundant, but if the arrangement is not in line with the Chen family's wishes, he will have to be complained and criticized in vain.

Therefore, acquiescing to Chen Mingyuan's return home to visit relatives did not mean that he should communicate with his family first.

"Well, since he understands his attitude, I'll just straighten it out."

The old man supported the armrests with both hands, straightened his sitting posture, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Actually, your third uncle discussed your affairs with me early in the morning, and once when he was chatting with He Xiangdong on the phone, he also cared about your problem by the way. ”

Obviously, during the past two years, Chen Mingyuan's series of performances in Dongjiang have been initially recognized by the family and faction, and as the eldest grandson and sister-in-law who is most valued by his teacher, it is reasonable for He Xiangdong to care about it appropriately.

At this time, Sister Li brought the lily lotus seed soup to the coffee table, and the old man waved her hand lightly, and asked her to step aside for the time being, and continued: "Actually, there are almost three roads in front of you now. ”

"The first time the road is the most lenient and stable, is to let you go to the planning committee to stay for a while, after all, your third uncle came out there, and there are still a lot of relationships, and it is not difficult to ask someone to take care of you." The old man's voice suddenly turned low, and he said: "Moreover, early next year, there may be changes to the Planning Committee, if nothing else, the authority and specifications will be improved, you enter it, although the position will not be too high, but it is not difficult to get a position of real power."

Chen Mingyuan's face did not change, and he seemed to have expected this.

According to the prediction of the future, the Planning Committee will be reorganized early next year, and the Republic's most powerful power department, the Development / Reform Commission, will also make a grand appearance.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and during this period, staying in the imperial capital where the powerful and powerful gather, the network of contacts established will also bring immeasurable benefits to their future development!

As the old man described, the prospect of this road is the most impressive!

"This opportunity is rare, in addition to us, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Lu Dao, all vying to stuff their children into it, and why He Xiangdong They look at my bó face, so they are willing to sell this favor." The old man suggested: "You think about it, your third uncle and I are quite recognized." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "Don't think about it, grandpa, you should understand what I mean." ”

The old man looked at him fixedly, smiled dumbly, and pointed at him: "I guessed that your kid would be unhappy, when your third uncle wanted to take you up several times, you loved to ignore it, and now that your wings are hard, it is impossible to slap yourself."

"Okay, although this road is good, the water there is too deep, and you have been in the provincial party committee for so long, and if you are lifted too high all of a sudden, it is easy to become too ambitious, and it is not conducive to your long-term development."

The old man sighed leisurely and said, "In that case, I don't think I like your second way." ”

"What's the way?"

"Youth League."

The old man's eyes were full of kindness, and he said slowly: "Twenty-five-year-old deputy department level, according to the practice of our national bureaucratic system, is still slightly younger, it is not easy for you to stay in the provincial party committee compound to attract attention, but if you go to the place, it will inevitably receive some attention, we are worried that you will not be able to withstand these pressures, on the contrary, most of the youth league are cadres of the same age as you, and it is not strange that you are in your early thirties." ”

Chen Mingyuan understood what his grandfather meant, compared with the frightening step by step of starting from the local grassroots level, the promotion in the central ministries and commissions is much more convenient, the resistance is quite small, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed, and there are far less intrigues and open and secret battles that are commonplace in so many places, especially institutions with reserve cadres like the Youth League, as long as they are not stupid and stupid, and have considerable backgrounds and backgrounds, they can basically get mixed up.

What's more, this is still a hotbed for breeding dragons!

For example, the next supreme leader is a veritable regimental background, and the high-ranking officials and political leaders who have more or less the imprint of the regimental system are now all over the Chinese political arena, and have already formed a huge group on the power map that cannot be underestimated, influencing and manipulating the future pattern and progress of this great country!

Figuratively speaking, the Youth League is like a stable and solid stepping stone, and has become a great treasure for contemporary officials to seek career promotion!

It's just that Chen Mingyuan didn't move his heart, and pouted: "I've been idle enough recently, if I join the Youth League again, I estimate that I will soon become a salted fish." ”

"Yes, this road is flat, but I'm afraid that if you go too smoothly all the way, your will will have to be tempered early, and a little wind and waves will easily overthrow you in the future."

The old man obviously didn't like this path either, his fingers tapped lightly on the teacup, his face gradually became solemn, and he said meaningfully: "It seems that you still want to take the narrowest and steepest path." ”

Chen Mingyuan comprehended: "It's okay, while I'm young, I should always go through more experience, and I have thought about working at the grassroots level for a long time." ”

"You have to think clearly, although this road is the most traditional and formal way to get promoted, it is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops."

"But if you can successfully kill it, it will definitely be a battle-hardened elite soldier!"

The grandfather and grandson asked and answered, looked at each other, and laughed tacitly.

The old man laughed loudly and said with emotion: "That's it, with your temper, you must like to challenge, anyway, you are still young, and there is nothing wrong with a few bumps, I hope that this way can polish your piece of jade into a treasure jade!"

"Still, I have to give you a few words."

The old man gently covered the teacup and said: "Mingyuan, although you are very good, but you are still too far from the grade of a superior, of course, I know that it is too unrealistic to ask you too much now, what is too mysterious to do calm guidance, I really want to be extreme, I hope you can be cold-blooded enough, this so-called cold-blooded, not to make you unreasonable, but not to be driven by external forces!" ”

"You are younger after all, not enough sharpening, a body of sharpness will always control your emotions intentionally or unintentionally, if you don't pay attention, you will be prone to brain fever, you must know the way, the biggest taboo of being a man is to be eager for quick success, and be willful!"

"Let's just say that Xiao Ri is not the original, let's ignore those national enemies and family hatred, don't look at them now honestly handing over Lao Mei to be the grandson of the grandson, but the evil heart is not dead, so I look forward to being the master of Lao Mei as soon as possible, and avenged the revenge of the two bombs in the last century."

"Anyone will be angry with the crown, the key is that this anger has no confidence, no confidence, it is purely self-inflicted, if Han Xin had a case with that hooligan, then the history books of the past two thousand years will have to be rewritten, so you must always remember the word 'anger control'."

After talking so much in one breath, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and buried himself in tea again.

Chen Mingyuan chewed on this heart-to-heart incisive teaching, and couldn't help but think of the old man's political career after several ups and downs, and nodded: "I've written it down, grandpa." ”

The old man smiled with relief, and then asked about his life trivialities, it seemed that his mind was overdrawn again, and he suddenly coughed, but he waved his hand to stop Chen Mingyuan and the special care's persuasion, smoothed out, and said: "It's okay, my own body is clear, God treats me badly, and finally I can leave some more time." ”

"Grandpa......"

Chen Mingyuan's nose is sour, his father died young, and the old man has suffered a heavier blow than anyone else, but he has to continue to grit his teeth to revive the family, and now that he is in his last years, he has to always worry about himself and the affairs of the family.

As if feeling his grandson's emotions, the old man smiled comfortingly: "Don't think about it, people, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and you can't be disobedient, I am also very content to live and see that you are all safe and stable." ”

The old man was still staring, gently patted the back of Chen Mingyuan's hand, and said earnestly: "Mingyuan, remember what I just said, your road is still very long, and the people who support you will slowly decrease as you go farther and farther, so you must grasp every amount of support at each stage, and don't be stumped by some petty feelings!" ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded solemnly in agreement.

Suddenly, the old man smiled a little naughtily: "However, as a grandfather, I still want to see you start a family, at least in the future, there will be one more person to care for you and accompany you, and I can be completely at ease." ”

Chen Mingyuan originally wanted to mention the matter of himself and Mu Jiayin, but thinking of his grandfather's physical condition, he still endured it.

Let's take it a little longer, now that the old man knows the truth, I'm afraid it will add a lot of psychological burden.

Leaving the old mansion, Chen Mingyuan drove straight to a café in the commercial center, and under the leadership of the waiter, he pushed open the door of a box on the second floor.

Inside, in front of the snow-white square table and on the snow-white sand, there was already a beautiful girl with graceful and charming faces, who was Cen Ruohan!

I haven't seen it for a long time, Cen Ruohan's beauty seems to be better than before, wearing a black soft suspender chiffon skirt, a long black tassel hanging from the waist of the upper body, stiletto crystal sandals, the high heel promotes the graceful arch of the instep, white and tender, the toes are playfully upturned, the toes are coated with purple nail polish, and the wind is enough to attract the coveted eyes of countless men.

Seeing Chen Mingyuan, Cen Ruohan could barely hide the joy on his face, stood up, looked at him carefully for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said happily: "It's not bad, it looks like that." ”

Chen Mingyuan joked: "Do you think I'm getting more and more manly?" Can't help but be tempted? ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, his head ushered in a thunderbolt that was neither light nor heavy, Cen Ruohan raised his hand that was smeared with colorful Kodan, and his apricot eyes widened: "I haven't cleaned you up for a while, and my head forgot to hurt, right?" ”

Immediately, she tilted her head slightly, the smile on the corner of her lips seemed clear and warm, and she said coquettishly: "It's still manly!" Tell you, no matter how good your ability is, no matter how old you are, I will always be your aunt, and you are a child in my eyes!

Chen Mingyuan rubbed his forehead, which was not painful, and smiled bitterly, but when he saw Cen Ruohan's coquettish face and familiar style, he couldn't help but think of a few years ago, after he woke up from the nightmare in the old mansion, it was this childhood sweetheart woman who appeared in time, relying on her thoughtfulness and tenderness, calmed her dazed and helpless, and took care of her recovery and recovery.

Although, in the past few years, she and she have been working hard for their respective careers, and there is less contact, Chen Mingyuan still remembers what she said: If you are tired outside, come back and rest
