After graduating from university, Geng Tianshuang worked in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee for two years before applying for the postgraduate examination of the School of International Relations, and after a two-and-a-half-year postgraduate program, Geng Tianshuang, who is already 29 years old this year, will return to work in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee at the end of the year, and the work will be arranged in the secretariat. After more than two years of study, he has a more elegant atmosphere, and he is completely free of the youthfulness when he just worked.

The person Geng Tianshuang admires the most is his father Geng Yimin, when Geng Yimin asked him to leave the provincial party committee and return to campus, he still didn't understand a little, and in the past two years, he gradually understood his father's intentions. His father was promoted to the secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee, and for him, returning to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee will also reach a new level. Although the relationship with Yang Ying has the meaning of political marriage, Geng Tianshuang is a person who has known to restrain his feelings since he was a child, and has been with Yang Ying for more than half a year, without the passion in love, but with a lot of warmth and tacit understanding, this is the married life that politicians need.

Geng Yimin can become the secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee, Yang Tianhua, the organization minister of the provincial party committee, has made great efforts in the province, the Yang family and the Geng family can be regarded as world friends, Yang Ying still has the impression of Geng Yimin in her mind, but this time she met her parents with Geng Tianshuang, the meaning is different, Yang Ying sat next to Geng Tianshuang, and her palms were oozing sweat.

"How can there be outsiders in this meeting?"

"Brother Zhao Zeng came to the province the first two times, you have seen it, you are not an outsider, Ding Xiangyang is his father's secretary, not an outsider, Lin Quan, I heard that it is the son of his father's old classmate in Jinghai......" Geng Tianshuang was also strange in his heart, and he couldn't find any reason to calm his girlfriend's uneasy mood for a while.

Eleven years ago, Geng Yimin came to Jinghai alone to take up his post, leaving his wife Zhang Youlan and son Geng Tianshuang in the provincial capital. Geng Tianshuang stayed in the provincial capital to study, and a year later, Chen Ran stepped down from the position of secretary of the municipal party committee, and Geng Yimin's relationship with the Lin family was also estranged, and Geng Tianshuang naturally never heard of the name Lin Quan.

Geng Tianshuang has not been to Jinghai for two years, the car passed the toll station, turned into the north of the city highway, the buildings on both sides are scattered and old, Jinghai has not developed much in the past two years. Geng Tianshuang often communicates with his father on the phone, knowing that his father has the ambition to make a difference in Jinghai, but in reality there are many difficulties.

Yang Yun left office, the second and third in command, Mayor Zhang Quan, and Executive Deputy Secretary Xiang Yishan failed to mention, but Geng Yimin, deputy secretary of the Standing Committee, was born, which is more unacceptable than letting the province directly air the secretary of the municipal party committee.

Under the influence of Geng Yimin, Geng Tianshuang's style of life is very low-key, which is similar to the atmosphere of Yang Tianhua's family, Geng Tianshuang did not borrow the car of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department, and Yang Ying took a bus to Jinghai, and met Yang Kun who had been waiting there for a long time at the station, so they took the car together to the atrium at No. 5 Huayuan Street, and Zhao Zeng and Lin Quan came out. Lin Quan, who was not childish and looked steady and mature on his face, looked twenty-four years old in Geng Tianshuang's eyes, his smile was kind and natural, and he took the gift in Geng Tianshuang's hand in front of Zhao Zeng: "Brother Geng is here, Uncle Geng and Auntie are waiting for you inside." ”

Chen Yan and Xiao Chu followed closely and beckoned Yang Ying into the house.

Geng Yimin lives a simple life in Jinghai, and rarely goes to other people's banquets, Lin Quan let Xiushui Pavilion not use high-end ingredients as the main ingredients in the private banquet, but the ingredients and auxiliary materials are the best materials, using sea tiger shark fin as the accessories for stewed pigeon, and goose paw mushrooms use nearly 1,000 yuan and a tael of two auspicious abalone as accessories, in this way, the name of the dish looks ordinary, but the bright color and delicacy are by no means comparable to ordinary dishes.

After eating, Zhao Zeng knew a little about Lin Quan's tricks from the unusually delicious dishes, and he didn't say anything. The secretary of the municipal party committee invited Xiushui Pavilion to have a family banquet, and when the news spread, Xiushui Pavilion's reputation came up. Lin Quan promised not to reveal the news, but he made a fuss about the dishes. Zhang Youlan was full of praise for eating next to her, and the reputation of Xiushui Pavilion was afraid that it would spread out of her mouth.

Lin Quan did not show any timidity during the banquet, and his seat was arranged next to Geng Tianshuang. From Zhao Zeng's mouth, Lin Quan knew that Geng Tianshuang would work in the secretariat of the provincial party committee at the end of the year, and maybe in two or three years, Geng Tianshuang would become the full-time secretary of a certain provincial leader. Geng Yimin's life route for his son is undoubtedly a passing lane in his career. Geng Tianshuang won the favor of the provincial leaders, and it also helped Geng Yimin consolidate his position in Jinghai.

Halfway through the banquet, Yang Ying was also a little less restrained, she is still a graduate student at the business school of the provincial university, and she will not graduate until April next year. Lin Quan, who is studying at the same university, naturally feels close to him and can find common topics.

"Which major are you studying in the province?"

"College of Business."

"Lin Quan, oh......" Yang Ying opened her delicate little mouth and couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "How can I say that this name feels familiar?" Are you Lin Quan, who completed all his undergraduate courses in just one and a half years? Tianshuang, I said that there are people in our business school who are not worse than you, you have not believed it, look, Senior Brother Lin is in front of you, what else do you have to say? ”

"When have I ever been so arrogant?" Geng Tianshuang smiled bitterly at Yang Ying's slander.

Geng Yimin turned his head sideways: "I haven't heard Zhao Zeng mention this?" ”

Zhao Zeng said with a smile: "The little guy is not public, and this is the first time I have heard of this." Provincial universities began to implement a credit system, and I heard that you can graduate after completing the credits, isn't it? ”

"If you want to get a bachelor's degree, you have to spend time writing a thesis."

Lin Quan knew Geng Tianshuang's girlfriend, Yang Ying, who was sitting on Geng Tianshuang's left, was the youngest daughter of Yang Tianhua, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, and a second-year student at the Business School of the Provincial University. The graduate school is on the new campus, and in addition to having teachers who know each other together, Lin Quan didn't know that the business school also had such a senior sister who was such a heavyweight.

Yang Ying is gentle and amiable, petite and delicate, only taller than Geng Yimin's wife Zhang Youlan, and her somewhat restrained demeanor and speech are very pleasing to Zhang Youlan. Zhang Youlan didn't like girls with too flamboyant surnames, so Lin Quan repeatedly told Xiao Chu at home to be well-behaved when he came to Geng Yimin's mansion and pretend to be cute.

After dinner, Zhang Youlan, Chen Yan, Xiao Chu, and Ding Xiangxiao's wife Xu Xiunan accompanied Yang Ying to talk in the living room, and Ding Xiangyang shouted to observe the chess skills of Geng Shu and Secretary General Zhao, and they all rushed to the study.

Zhao Zeng had a good layout, but when he waited for the middle game, he was forced to retreat by Geng Yimin's fierce chess style, and he gave up and admitted defeat in less than an hour. Lin Quan watched from the side, between Zhao Zeng and Geng Yimin, there was no need to deliberately concede chess, and the reason why Zhao Zeng lost was that he felt like he was being taken away. Geng Yimin was in a good mood and asked Ding Xiangyang to make a move with him, and from his flawless defeat, he knew that his chess strength was far above Zhao Zeng.

Geng Tianshuang was not interested in Geng Yimin's victory on the chessboard, and pulled Lin Quan aside to speak. Through the conversation during the banquet, he knew that Lin Quan was the grandson of the old secretary Chen Ran, and if his father wanted to gain a firm foothold in Jinghai, it was necessary to use Chen Ran's influence. The list of characters provided by Chen Ran, Geng Yimin is inconvenient to come forward, and Zhao Zeng has come to visit on behalf of Geng Yimin in the past few days. Most of these people were given important responsibilities by Chen Ran when he was promoting the rejuvenation of cadres in Jinghai, and after Chen Ran abdicated, he was idle in the deputy position of the county bureau organ, and he is now in the prime of life.

Geng Yimin attached great importance to Lin Quan, and there was still a layer of thoughts that he didn't tell anyone. Zhou Ping and Yang Yun spent so much effort back then, but they didn't completely bring down Chen Ran, and in the end they just retired, and Geng Yimin knew that someone above was protecting Chen Ran. Chen Ran was a cadre who was transferred from the army and returned to Jinghai, and even Geng Yimin's father-in-law, Zhang Qishan, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, who retired ten years ago, did not know.

Chen Ran has retired for seven years, and the relationship above is still there? Geng Yimin didn't know.

When Zhang Qishan retired from office, he asked Geng Yimin to go down to avoid the rights and wrongs of the province. Geng Yimin was smooth sailing in Jinghai, but with his father-in-law's old relationship and his newly married in-law Yang Tianhua, it was quite difficult to think of going to the next level. Either they have a track record that has attracted the attention of the Chinese people, or they are looking to build deeper connections.

Lin Quan couldn't guess what Geng Yimin was thinking, he and Geng Tianshuang had a lot in common, and they talked very speculatively. Geng Tianshuang admired Lin Quan's profound knowledge and profound insights, without the frivolity and shallowness of a gentleman, and agreed that after Lin Quan started school, he must go to him.

Even if there was no agreement, Lin Quan would not miss this opportunity.

Geng Tianshuang planned to return to the provincial capital the next Monday, and Zhang Youlan was very happy with Yang Ying and asked them to stay in Jinghai for another day. On Monday the next day, Geng Yimin didn't let his son use the car of the municipal party committee, so Lin Quan naturally asked Guo Baolin to borrow Zhao Kunyi's Audi and led Geng Tianshuang and Yang Ying to play in Jinghai for a day. Dinner was eaten in Xiushui Pavilion, in addition to Zhao Zeng, Ding Xiangyang, and Yang Kun, there were also two deputy county magistrates from the province who came down to exercise.
