After watching the two of them scurrying away, Chen Xiao sneered and said, "Anyway, he is your deputy, are you so ruthless?" ”

"You said that you are the deputy, if you will only cause trouble, it is better to kick it away as soon as possible, so as not to get into trouble."

Pei Yan snorted and said: "His father is the Minister of State of the Ministry of the Interior in Xinjiapo, and his family is considered a noble family in the local area, so his temper is a little arrogant. ”

"He seems to be scared of you."

Pei Yan was silent for a moment and said: "Most of his family's industries rely on the snort of Huaxia, so he is relatively close to the high-level in China."

Chen Xiao knew very well that in order to win over the surrounding countries, the high-level officials of Huaxia State have spared no effort in recent years, taking a high-level diplomatic strategy at the macro level and supporting some potential family factions at the micro level.

Although the Pei family was expelled from the political center, it does not mean that the relationship will be completely decided, on the contrary, the Pei family's successful foothold and rise in Nanyang, the shadow of Huaxia can be seen almost everywhere behind it, even if Chen Xiao does not know the bottom line, he can also understand that the high-level of Huaxia is hoping that through the pawn of the Pei family, it will not only affect the political decision-making of the high-level of the Nanyang country as much as possible, but also attract as many powerful classes as possible to pave the way for the future plan.

At that time, for the sake of the situation, the high-level of Huaxia had to choose to pull the Pei family down to the top of power, and when many Pei family children, including Pei Yan, moved to Nanyang, there was a premise of win-win cooperation, but they were entangled together, avoiding mutual harm and mutual benefit and cooperation, the essence of these words was vividly displayed in politics!

"I'll order him again when I go back, and let him behave in Yunjiang." Pei Yan smiled bitterly: "But it seems that this meal can't be eaten." ”

"Let's eat together, I wanted to find time to invite you to dinner in the next few days."

Chen Xiao smiled: "By the way, you should still know Su Jin, right?" ”

Pei Yan turned his head to look at the position next to the floor-to-ceiling glass, couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled and nodded, and walked over with Chen Xiao.

"Brother Pei......"

Su Jin stood up and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, his eyes filled with some indescribable surprise.

Pei Yan smiled: "It's been a long time, it's been almost eight years, after my grandfather died, I left the capital." ”

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know that you have returned to China, what are you ......?" "I was sent by the senior management of Xinjiapo to support the current Eco-City cooperation." After Pei Yan sat down, he handed over a business card, looked at Chen Xiao again, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot such an important thing, you and Chen Xiao got married last year, and at that time, I heard An Ze mention it and sent a congratulatory gift to the past, but you came directly to Yunjiang later, and it seems that you didn't receive it." ”

Chen Xiao secretly said to herself, the morning after the wedding, Su Jin ran back to Yunjiang without saying a word, and chased after him again, where would he pay attention to those congratulatory gifts, and the family would never mention it in order to avoid suspicion.

Pei Yan recalled the past in Sijiu City, and said with a smile: "I remember that you were still in junior high school at the time, and you were still a little girl, and now you are so beautiful, how about it, and now you and Chen Xiao are living smoothly, right?" ”

Su Jin pursed her lips, nodded and said softly, "Well, it's all good." ”

"That's good, when I heard the news, I sighed that Chen Xiao had been cultivated for several lifetimes, and I don't know how many blessings I have cultivated to marry the princess in your compound."

Pei Yan teased, turned his head and said: "The third child, it's not my brother's nagging, the pearl of the old Su family has been married, but I really have to be good to others wholeheartedly, otherwise I will be struck by lightning." ”

"This guy doesn't know how many times he should have been struck."

Su Jin glanced at Chen Xiao slantedly, slandered in his heart, looked at the business card again, and hesitated: "Brother Pei, since you are the general manager of Huaxin Eco-City Investment Company, can you do the interview with our column tomorrow?" ”

Seeing Pei Yan shaking his head without hesitation, Su Jin knew that the high-level of Huaxia Kingdom still couldn't tolerate the Pei family, so he didn't ask anymore.

After Chen Xiao introduced Xia Zijin, Pei Yan considered the wording and said, "Chen Xiao, Ge Xiaoxiao, the person in charge of Hanwei Group in Yunjiang, turned out to be working by your mother's side, right?" ”

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Have you been contacted?" ”

"Well, the first phase of the project has broken ground, and the second phase of the project will mostly be delivered to private consortiums, and now the list has been roughly finalized, and Hanwei Group has been successfully shortlisted."

Pei Yan's voice turned and said in a low voice: "But I still have to remind you that although Hanwei Group has a batch of land in its hands and has strong financial resources and technology, if the second phase of the project is slightly worse this time, the next project is likely to be kicked out." ”

Chen Xiao knew that he had something to say, and said casually: "If the strength of Hanwei Group is really limited, in order not to destroy the diplomatic relations and cooperation between the two countries, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to mislead others and the country." ”

"It's good that Hanwei will be handed over to you in the future, but you don't have to worry about it at all."

Pei Yan chuckled and didn't fall: "Didn't I say it just now, the level of Hanwei Group in all aspects is top-notch, I'm afraid that something will happen suddenly, shopping malls are like battlefields, especially when it comes to politics, there will be no shortage of open guns and hidden arrows...... Don't forget, next to the land of Hanwei Group, there is also a behemoth, the Fan Tangshui you saw at the last banquet is not a good person! ”

At this point, Chen Xiao's eyes have brightened, and he understands that Pei Yan is reminding himself and Hanwei Group to always beware of Dingfeng Group, which is also strongly shortlisted for the Eco-City project, and also to let him consider whether Ge Xiaoxiao can compete with Fan Tangshui.

At this time, the mobile phone suddenly vibrate, it was a short message, Chen Xiao took it out and looked at it, and his pupils shrank instantly........................ After letting Su Jin and Xia Zijin go home first, Chen Xiao drove alone to the Shangdao Cafe, came to a private room on the second floor, and after pushing the door open, he saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting in his position.

Chen Xiao sat in front of him and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, business is okay?" ”

The middle-aged man took a sip of coffee, showed his smoky yellow teeth, and said, "Hey, what kind of business can I have, just based on the task you gave me, I haven't done anything else." ”

Chen Xiao was silent for a while, and said softly: "I've worked hard for you for more than half a year." ”

"What's this, doing what we do, we have to run around all night, and besides, the remuneration you give is enough, what am I not satisfied with."

The middle-aged man flicked off the ash of his cigarette and said with emotion: "But ...... If you really talk about hard work, that girl has a much harder life than me. ”

Chen Xiao's wrist shook, reached out and touched it in his arms, and found that the cigarette was not brought out.

"Pump me."

The middle-aged man handed over a white sand cigarette, and after helping to light the fire, he said: "Don't worry, that girl is going well, but she is too strict with herself, I remember when I first started to track, I saw her hide and cry several times, and then gradually got better, but I gnawed on books every day, and went into the study room in the morning, and went to school when there was a class, and studied by myself without class, plus a part-time job at night, like a robot that tightened the clockwork, basically never stopped, and I was worried about it." ”

He wiped his face and said: "To be honest, I have been working for more than ten years, I have checked hundreds of people, I have never seen such a stubborn girl, I don't take my body seriously, and then there are fewer courses, she also went to the newspaper for an internship, every day in the wind and rain, looking at the posture, I just want to eat a big fat man in one go." ”

Chen Xiao's smoking rate was a little fast, his eyes were dilute for a moment, and he said, "What about now, since you are back, there should be new progress, right?" ”

"I'm here to deal with you."

The middle-aged man said with a bitter face: "Dude, it's not that I'm not dedicated, it's just that the girl has a bad temper, she graduated, I didn't go to the school job fair, and the newspaper didn't accept it, many units, including the big companies you entrusted the relationship with, took the initiative to come to the door, she refused without blinking her eyelids, and directly bought a ticket to Yunjiang, I couldn't, so I had to come back and put my son aside, this matter is here, I really can't do anything, and I don't have the face to ask you for the follow-up tail, I can only say that the girl's stubborn temper, nine cows can't pull it back." ”

Chen Xiaowei sighed, she hid it from everyone, and tried every possible way to push her into a quiet environment, away from those treacherous waves, but after all, it was just useless, and at the same time, she also understood that the reason why she insisted on returning to Yunjiang was just for the self who had passed away.

In the past life, it seems that this life still has to be entangled.

"Forget it, you've done your best."

Chen Xiao took out a bank card and handed it over, saying, "Thank you for taking care of her for more than half a year." ”

The middle-aged man sighed, took the bank card, and said, "The flight the day after tomorrow, I will stay in Yunjiang this year, and I will keep an eye on it for a while." ”

Chen Xiao didn't say a word, let the middle-aged man walk away, and waited until there was silence, took out his wallet, took out a yellowed old photo hidden in it, and looked at it, stretched out his finger and carefully rubbed the smiling girl in the middle, and his thoughts were repeated.

"It's a shame that you're still a boy, why do you cry so easily."

"Dean Tang said let me take care of you, and I can't be bullied by others."

"Oh, this is the mooncake I snatched from the fat man, half of us."

"I don't want to stay here, I don't want to be called an orphan!"

"I'm leaving, remember me, pull the hook, I'll definitely come back to you when I grow up......"

Suddenly, a strong wind slapped the glass window, mixed with the dry air of the summer heat, and a heavy downpour poured down.

The heavy rain lasted for three days, moistening every corner of the city, the grass and green leaves were moistened, and the shade became more and more lush, and on the morning of the day when the rain stopped, Chen Xiao drove to the cemetery in the suburbs, walked to the tombstone engraved with his previous life's name, and found that a bunch of white carnations had been placed there.
