After being full of wine and food, Lao Zhu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one and handed it to Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan shook his head slightly, signaling that he would not smoke, Lao Zhu was not polite, he took two deep breaths, but he looked intoxicated, and it could be seen that Lao Zhu was obviously an old smoking gun that had been tested in the tobacco field for a long time.

In his last life, Zhou Fan also learned to smoke for two years, unlike other people's so-called smoking addiction, Zhou Fan's hobby for cigarettes is only between smoking or not smoking, and he lights one when he is willing, if he doesn't have a cigarette by his side, Zhou Fan will be casual, not like some people, he can get up from bed to buy cigarettes in the middle of the night, Zhou Fan's requirements for cigarettes are only dispensable.

"Director Ma and you know each other very well, right? I see that he personally led you into the office in the morning, and even if someone came to report before, he didn't have the habit of personally bringing people over. Lao Zhu spit out a smoke ring, and then asked cautiously, obviously this sentence has been held in Lao Zhu's heart since the morning, and it is difficult for Lao Zhu to hold it until now.

"I met for the first time today, and I haven't been in contact with each other before, so I can't say that I know each other well." Zhou Fan smiled and said, Lao Zhu's mind is naturally that Zhou Fan should have something to do with Ma Jinshan, otherwise how could people send Zhou Fan into the office, this leader personally sent it in, which is undoubtedly a demonstration of the cadres below.

Lao Zhu raised his head and glanced at Zhou Fan, obviously trying to see a trace of strangeness on Zhou Fan's face, but Zhou Fan had a hint of a smile on his face, but Lao Zhu couldn't detect Zhou Fan's thoughts.

"Maybe my family knows Director Ma, it's indeed the first time I've met Director Ma." Looking at Lao Zhu's strange expression, Zhou Fan opened his mouth to explain.

Ma Jinshan's identity is obviously impossible to be involved with the people of the Zhou family, but in order to avoid arousing Lao Zhu's doubts, Zhou Fan just said this casually, but he secretly speculated in his heart that if Ma Jinshan really had a relationship with the Zhou family, at least it must be at the department and bureau level.

Lao Zhu smiled slightly, obviously not believing Zhou Fan's explanation, Zhou Fan may be explained by Ma Jinshan, don't mention this matter in the unit.

Zhou Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Lao Zhu doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, for the suspicion in Lao Zhu's eyes, Zhou Fan didn't bother to say anything more, Lao Zhu wanted to suspect that he had something to do with Ma Jinshan, so it was up to him.

Let the waiter help settle the bill, according to the price at that time, it was only a few dozen yuan, which was not too expensive, and compared with tens of thousands of dollars for a meal in later generations, it was obviously a little shabby.

When I went back, I just entered the gate, and I saw a familiar figure just coming out of the building, with a tall posture and upright facial features, and an extraordinary atmosphere.

The visitor lowered his head and kept walking out, obviously a little anxious when he looked at the footsteps, and when he raised his head and happened to meet the gaze handed by Zhou Fan, the visitor frowned slightly, and there was a hint of boredom in his eyes.

How could it be him? Zhou Fan frowned, and the train of thought in his mind changed, and Zhou Fan remembered that before going to the place, this person had not been in the National Development and Reform Commission for two years, it seemed that because he encountered some trouble in the National Development and Reform Commission, he was finally released, and it could be regarded as a new environment, and he could have a new beginning.

"Third uncle." Zhou Fan hesitated, but still said hello to the other party, Zhou Ziming's family and Zhou Zishan's family have a bad relationship, and the brothers are hostile to each other, under the influence of the previous generation, Zhou Fan's generation is inevitably hostile, and he has always regarded the third uncle as an enemy, but when the matter came, it was the relative in front of him who came forward to pull him.

"Hmm." Zhou Zishan nodded lightly and said, "Come to work at the National Development and Reform Commission?" Well done. ”

Although the tone is unusually flat, it even gives people a taste that is not salty or light, or a feeling of rejection, but according to the contradiction between the two families at this time, Zhou Ziming can say such a sentence, and the face has passed.

"Don't worry, I won't lose your face, third uncle." Zhou Fan grinned in response, but his tone was a little infarcted, thinking of the political environment in which the third uncle lived in his previous life, he could still stand up and fish for himself in such a situation, this flesh and blood family affection is not the end of what words can say.

Zhou Zishan was slightly stunned, the taste in Zhou Fan's words made Zhou Zishan a little surprised, obviously this nephew revealed a kind of closeness to himself, but when Zhou Zishan and Zhou Fan met before, Zhou Fan's eyes were hostile, not to mention the taste revealed in the middle.

"Hmm." Zhou Zishan nodded, ignored Zhou Fan, bowed his head and left.

Looking at Zhou Zishan's back, Zhou Fan remembered what Zhou Zishan said to himself, when Zhou Fan asked Zhou Zishan why he wanted to save himself from prison, and even did not hesitate to interfere with judicial justice, so that he would be stained on the road of politics, Zhou Zishan just said plainly: "The contradictions of the previous generation should not be borne by the next generation, and the contradictions between me and your father should not be inherited by you, no matter what, you are always my nephew, this kind of blood thicker than water family relationship can never be changed." ”

With this sentence back to the present, Zhou Fan hopes that the contradictions between the two families can disappear with the death of the second grandmother in this life, as for Zhou Ziming's grudge against Zhou Zishan, it is only because of the partiality of the second grandmother, the previous generation has passed away, why leave the contradiction to the next generation, maybe this is also the grandfather's biggest regret.

Zhou Fan's expression was slightly lonely, now Zhou Fan can't say anything in the family, he can only hope that in the future, he will naturally be able to resolve the contradictions between the two families, and before his grandfather leaves, he will be able to solve a matter of his old man's heart.

"Ahem." Zhou Fan coughed twice and woke up Lao Zhu, who was in a daze on the side, and Lao Zhu was obviously frightened by Zhou Fan's title at the moment.

Lao Zhu is the old man of the National Development and Reform Commission, some leaders of the ministries and commissions, Lao Zhu has kept it in his heart, just now that Director Zhou, Lao Zhu naturally knows that Director Zhou is already in a high position at a young age, and I heard that Director Zhou's background is even more scary, and there are rumors that Director Zhou is the son of that person, although this news has not been confirmed, but it has been spread like this, and it is obviously not far from ten.

Lao Zhu shook his head slightly, and looked at Zhou Fan with a hint of awe, if Director Zhou is really the son of that person, then Zhou Fan called Director Zhou the third uncle, isn't Zhou Fan that person is a grandson, then Zhou Fan's identity is not .......

Who is that person, that is one of the founding fathers, and the head of the Southern Tour is a figure of the same era, and even the current No. 1 leader has a lot of respect for that person, not to mention some other cadres, just hearing that person's name can also bring a feeling of palpitations, but now standing in front of him may actually be the grandson of that person, this is not .......

"Little ......." Originally, Xiao Zhou's name was smooth, but Lao Zhu felt a little unspeakable.

"Brother Zhu, you still call me Xiao Zhou, everyone is a colleague, and you are my senior, I need you to help me more in the future." Zhou Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't want people to know his background, but the accident was for Lao Zhu to see this scene.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lao Zhu didn't dare to say twice, so he cautiously asked, "That Director Zhou is your third uncle?" ”

The two words Xiao Zhou came to his mouth, and Lao Zhu took it back again, I didn't know that it was okay, but now that I know Zhou Fan's identity, the two words of Xiao Zhou seem to weigh a thousand pounds, and Lao Zhu always has a feeling that he is stuck in his throat and can't go down.

Zhou Fan nodded and said, "Brother Zhu, you just need to know today's things...... ”

When he said this, he naturally told Lao Zhu not to talk about his own affairs everywhere, for a person like Lao Zhu, just click on the words, and think Lao Zhu also understands what he means.

"Yes, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." Lao Zhu hurriedly opened his mouth and responded, such a little secret, Lao Zhu wished that only he knew it, and he would handle the relationship between himself and Zhou Fan in the future, although Lao Zhou himself had no pursuit, but with this relationship, please ask Zhou Fan for a little favor in the future, and it will be a matter of effort.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I just don't want too many people to know about me, and if something happens at that time, I won't embarrass the elders in the family." Zhou Fan smiled and opened his mouth to ease the tense atmosphere.

"How could it be, when I saw that Zhou Shao was a person who did big things, how could he make trouble." Lao Zhu opened his mouth and patted Zhou Fan's ass.

"What's less Zhou, just call me Xiao Zhou, it won't be Brother Zhu, you have to see me outside." Zhou Fan smiled and said, it seems that people get along with people, this identity and status are obviously taken into account, in the previous life, Zhou Fan went out, and there were inevitably people who greeted him.

"Uh-oh." Lao Zhou replied resignedly, seeing the smile on Zhou Fan's face, Lao Zhou was relieved, hesitated for a long time, and Lao Zhu cautiously asked: "Xiao Zhou, are you ...... The grandson? ”

Seeing that Lao Zhu was a little curious and cautious, Zhou Fan nodded lightly and said, "Eldest grandson." ”

After listening to Zhou Fan's affirmative answer, Lao Zhu seemed to hear a big secret, in fact, it is no wonder that people outside, for the speculation of the high-level, these things spread outside, which naturally caused countless people to discuss, and now knowing Zhou Fan's identity undoubtedly made Lao Zhu's curiosity satisfied.
