Chapter 54: The Trajectory of History
History, sometimes it is not driven by manpower, just like what happened in the last life of the third uncle Zhou Zishan, it is still repeated in this life, even if Zhou Fan wants to change history, it is only the fate of a small number of people around.
In the previous life, Zhou Zishan because of a mistake in decision-making, caused a series of adjustments within the National Development and Reform Commission, as the initiator of this incident, the senior level of the ministry and commission has a voice to push Zhou Ziming to the end, at that time the situation of the third uncle has reached the point of precariousness, when all thoughts are lost, the first chief's knowledge of the maintenance of grace, it is also because of this, the third uncle in the next few decades, resolutely become the leader of the college department, become one of the important bargaining chips in the competition of the college department.
Zhou Fan remembered that the day after the third uncle's affair broke out, his father Zhou Ziming went to the old man's courtyard, and when he came out, Zhou Ziming's face didn't seem to look good, in the evening of the same day, Zhou Fan's memory, the third uncle's family boarded the door of their house for the first time, Zhou Fan still remembered that when the third uncle left, his face didn't seem to be good-looking, and the conversation between him and Zhou Ziming should not be smooth.
Zhou Fan shook his head gently, Zhou Ziming never knew the old man's thoughts, maybe the old man handed over the heavy responsibility of the Zhou family more to Zhou Ziming, but the third uncle was always his son, although Zhou Fan didn't know what his grandfather had done in the third uncle's previous life, but even if the grandfather didn't help pull the third uncle, he wouldn't stop the No. 1 chief from pulling his son.
Zhou Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, wanting to call Zhang Jindong and ask Zhang Jindong's opinion on this matter, but after hesitating, Zhou Fan was a little inappropriate, after all, the current Zhou Fan is too tender, in the decision-making of the faction, Zhou Fan has no right to speak at all, not to mention whether Zhang Jindong is willing to mention this matter to Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan himself should also know how to be proportionate.
"Third uncle." Zhou Fan sighed softly, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, Zhou Zishan should be more similar to the old man in terms of surname, and because of this, the third uncle obviously attaches more importance to family affection, if Zhou Ziming can pull Zhou Zishan this time, then the conflict between the brothers for more than two years, even if it can't be resolved, can be eased a lot, at least when they don't have to meet, they are like enemies.
Just thinking of Zhou Ziming's surname, Zhou Fan has a headache, although Zhou Fan's recent performance has been recognized by Zhou Ziming, but Zhou Fan is always Zhou Fan, and if he wants to influence Zhou Ziming's decision, Zhou Fan is obviously not enough.
"Xiao Zhou, are you okay? Seeing you go to work in the morning, you're worried. Lao Zhu grinned and said to Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan shook his head lightly, signaling that he was fine.
"It's for Director Zhou's business, right? Don't think about it, Director Zhou will be fine. Lao Zhu nodded and said, in this office, only Lao Zhu knows the relationship between Zhou Zishan and Zhou Fan, and only Lao Zhu knows why Zhou Fan is worried.
Zhou Fan smiled and nodded, Zhou Fan is really not too worried about the situation of the third uncle, even according to the trajectory of history, the third uncle will have a new sky after this time, and after this blow, the third uncle is more calm, although the general secretary wooed Zhou Zishan, to a certain extent, it is to relieve the pressure brought by the Zhou department, but if the third uncle's performance is not affirmed by the general secretary, the general secretary cannot let Zhou Zishan take over the college department and become an important bargaining chip for the next competition of the college department.
Zhou Fan is now worried about the relationship between Zhou Ziming and Zhou Zishan's brothers, according to the history of the previous life, the relationship between the two brothers has not eased because of this incident, but has deepened the contradictions between the two sides, which is what Zhou Fan does not want to see.
"Lao Zhu, I'm fine, you leave me alone." Zhou Fan said to Lao Zhu with a smile.
Zhou Fan didn't dare to inquire with Zhang Jindong about this matter, but he didn't expect Zhang Jindong to take the initiative to mention his views on this matter to Zhou Fan, but it made Zhou Fan a little flattered, it seems that Zhang Jindong really regarded Zhou Fan as Zhou's successor.
"Uncle Zhang, is it for the third uncle's business?" Without waiting for Zhang Jindong to speak, Zhou Fan asked first.
Zhang Jindong sighed slightly and said: "You kid is really smart, just after I called, you know my thoughts, it seems that these sons are doing well in the ministry." ”
"It's all burning eyebrows, Uncle Zhang still has the heart to joke with me, a junior, it seems that the third uncle has already made up his mind, right?" Zhou Fan said lightly.
"You kid, this is on purpose, right? If I had an idea, I wouldn't have to call you, your dad ....... Zhang Jindong sighed and said, obviously in the process of negotiation with Zhou Ziming, the two sides did not talk very happily.
"What? Uncle Zhang wants my son to do ideological work for my father, then Uncle Zhang, you think too highly of me, or Uncle Zhang, you are sick and rushed to the doctor. Zhou Fan shook his head and said.
Zhang Jindong was silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Then what do you think about this matter?" ”
Zhang Jindong asked solemnly, although Zhou Fan didn't know how useful his opinions were to Zhang Jindong, but Zhang Jindong's tone was serious, and Zhou Fan naturally replied seriously: "I naturally hope that the third uncle is okay, in fact, this matter is that some people don't want the third uncle to continue to stay in the National Development and Reform Commission, in fact, I think it's actually good for the third uncle to change the environment, but let the third uncle go there, you can't let them have the final say." ”
The meaning of Zhou Fan's words is obvious, there is no problem for Zhou Zishan to leave the NDRC, but the next job arrangements naturally cannot be led by others, as for wanting to push Zhou Zishan to the end, there is no need to think about it.
Hearing Zhou Fan's firm tone, Zhang Jindong laughed on the other end of the phone, when he should be tough, this nephew is not convinced at all, just this point in Zhang Jindong's heart, Zhou Fan obviously has the courage necessary to become a faction leader, although Zhou Fan still has a long way to become the successor of the faction in the future, but Zhang Jindong is obviously really optimistic about the future steps of this nephew.
"Your kid's idea coincides with mine, in fact, I also think it's good for Zishan to go out, and I will discuss this matter with Ziming again." Zhang Jindong opened his mouth to answer, perhaps because of Zhou Fan's support, Zhang Jindong's attitude was more resolute.
Although Zhou Fan's identity is obviously an insignificant existence in the eyes of a high-level deputy minister like Zhang Jindong, the support of his relatives is sometimes more confident than the support of others.
