It is not an exaggeration to say that the old Chen family is a family of tigers, after all, the old man Chen's military exploits were prominent for a while, even if he has passed away for many years, but his reputation is still widely spread among the family.

Especially in the military department, the prestige of the old man is still deeply imprinted on it!

As the eldest son of the old Chen family, Chen Yuanping is now the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region, awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and his future in the military circles is unanimously bullish, especially under the age advantage, it is also very possible to surpass the achievements of the old man Chen.

But Chen Yuanping can sit in this position, in addition to his own ability, and the prestige of Old Man Chen in the army is also inseparable, after all, in the military system, the importance of human feelings is far greater than that of politics!

Now, the pillar of the old Chen family is sitting at the top of the lobby, looking at Chen Yuanding, who has already sat down, smiling slightly, and saying, "It's been going well on the Yunjiang side recently, right?" ”

The voice is flat and steady, but the bearing and majesty revealed are unusually thick, and the face that is eight points similar to that of Old Man Chen is even more spontaneous and like the deep sea.

Chen Yuanding took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's not bad, all the work of the political axe has been carried out in an orderly manner." ”

It seems to be a homely chat, but it indirectly shows that he has gained a firm foothold in Yunjiang City.

And with this opening exchange, Dai Minli also timely called a few "unrelated people" to go to the back hall to have lunch together, after all, this is the annual family meeting of the old Chen family, and some small characters or female surnames that do not match the political and military circles are generally inconvenient to be around.

"You can also accompany me to the eldest mother."

Chen Xiao whispered to Su Jin.

Su Jin also understood that she was not suitable to stay on this occasion, nodded, informed her father-in-law and mother-in-law again, and left with Dai Minli.

Chen Yuanping glanced at Su Jin's shadow and said with a smile: "It seems that these two are getting along well." ”

"Relationships always come out slowly, Xiao Jin, this kid is actually quite good."

Yang Huazhi smiled and played a round, worried that Chen Yuanping was still thinking about last year's marriage farce.

After all, as soon as Old Man Chen left, most of the Chen family's responsibility was carried by Chen Yuanping, the eldest son, and with the heaviest authority among the children of the family, he can be described as the head of the family at the moment!

Chen Yuanping nodded, as if he didn't intend to bother with this matter, and then chatted with the main descendants of the Chen family present about their respective situations.

In addition to Chen Xiao's parents, the eldest uncle Chen Yuanping is the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region, his wife Dai Minli is a middle-level cadre in a state-owned enterprise, and the last aunt Chen Xiuting and uncle Tang Shuguang are respectively the vice president of the General Military Hospital and the director of a bureau of the Central Organization Department.

Of course, there are some direct and collateral members, but they are obviously not qualified to participate in this meeting.

Compared with the old Su family, the lineage of the old Chen family in the three worlds of the party, government and military completely presents another extreme: two-level differentiation!

said that it was a family meeting, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was also Chen Yuanping, Chen Yuanding and Tang Shuguang, and the content was mainly based on their own or known information to do some communication, especially at the moment Chen Yuanding's authority in Yunjiang City, an important city in China, so that the smile on Chen Yuanping's face was much rarer.

The old Chen family may still be beautiful outside, but there are still many helpless places inside, mainly because the departure of Old Man Chen is undoubtedly fatal to the entire family system, if it weren't for Chen Yuanping, Tang Shuguang and others gritting their teeth to shoulder the burden, plus the old feelings of the army, this family would have become a yellow flower yesterday.

This scene is in great contrast with the old Su family, although the second generation of the Su family is mediocre as a whole, but the old man Su is still alive, this is a trump card with a very heavy weight!

"Shuguang, have you gotten any news over there now, and is there any suspense about going up after the Yuan Ding Year?"

Chen Yuanping asked, after all, the old Chen family was born in the military, and their connections in the political arena are really weak, and based on this, they joined forces with the old Su family, in order to provide help to Chen Yuanding.

Tang Shuguang shook his head and said, "The current situation is still a little unclear, but according to the current situation in Yunjiang City, Yuan Ding should be the cadre of the ministry to focus on." ”

Chen Yuanping sighed slightly, feeling more and more that the development of the family is stretched, if the old man is still alive, how can he look at flowers in the fog like now, there is no bottom!

Chen Xiao saw it in his eyes, and he also understood that the development strategy of the old Chen family was to leave Tang Shuguang in the capital to facilitate first-hand news, and to maneuver around some emergencies, so that his father and uncle could perform their duties with peace of mind outside.

No wonder these three people are so united, the interests of the family are already both prosperous and lossy, plus without the old man, if they don't work together and choose to fight separately, it will be a dead end!

"Big brother, don't worry, as long as there is no deviation in the future, and at the same time, let the Su family exert some effort, there should be no problem for Yuan Ding to be promoted to secretary of the municipal party committee."

Tang Shuguang said with a smile, the old Su family's wide connections in Xinghai Province are well recognized, as long as the in-laws are willing to help in this matter, it should be almost foolproof!

Chen Yuanding couldn't help but glance at his son and smiled slightly: "If we let the Su family contribute again, then we will have to make a big deal about Su Beiwang's affairs, I heard that the old man Su is now active, and he wants Su Beiwang to release the governor after the New Year." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several people were all on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly in her heart, the so-called marriage of feelings has become a veritable transaction, if her father wants to be in Xinghai Province, he has to let the Su family help him, and his father-in-law is on the throne, and his own family has to repay him.

The purpose of the marriage of the family is thus revealed!

Chen Yuanping's sharp eyes seemed to see the nephew's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiao, I went to visit Old Man Su a few days ago, the old man's body is still healthy, right?" ”

"Well, it's good, it's still like a bell, in good spirits, and I also met Su Jin's parents, my father-in-law is also very concerned about our family, especially when I asked a lot about my father's situation in Yunjiang."

Chen Xiao said neither arrogantly nor humblely, and was clearly organized, with a calm smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was always something wrong in his heart, and he felt that he seemed to have become a spy for the two families to report the news, and acted out the family's infernal affairs drama!

When the words fell, the faces of everyone present showed a trace of surprise to a greater or lesser extent.

Not only did I know that the Su family had already known about the fact that the two families were about to join forces again, but I was also really surprised by the performance of this son!

In their memory, it's just that this nephew is notorious outside, and when they usually meet their elders, they can hide as far as they can, not to mention that they can stay aside and listen to things, and they would have run away in the past!

Even Tang Haoyang, who was simple-minded, couldn't help but look at Chen Xiao twice, and felt that he hadn't seen him for half a year, this cousin had changed a lot, not only was he affectionate and warm to himself all the way just now, but at this moment, he could behave so calmly and magnificently in the face of his uncle and his father.

Thinking of Chen Xiao's fear when he saw his eldest uncle Chen Yuanping like a mouse seeing a cat in the past, Tang Haoyang was puzzled for a while, wondering if he was really married and sensible?

Chen Yuanping couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiao, what he said just now seemed ordinary, but he undoubtedly pocketed out all the news that several people wanted to hear, greeted Chen Yuanding and Yang Huazhi's meaningful smiles, nodded and said: "That's good, you can accompany Xiao Jin to pay a New Year's greeting in a few days, express your heart on behalf of our family, don't lose your dignity." ”

Chen Xiao simply agreed, groaned, and said, "Uncle, father, uncle, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Oh?"

Gao Shuguang also became more and more interested in this nephew, and said with a smile: "Is it that Old Man Su still asked you to help deliver something?" ”

"That's not true, the old man just chatted with me casually that day, but someone really wanted me to help deliver some words."

Then, Chen Xiao concisely told Xie Kai about his father Xie Wenlu that day.

After finishing speaking, everyone fell silent, Chen Yuanping tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table a few times, and asked, "Yuan Ding, what do you think of this Xie Wenlu?" ”

Chen Yuanding frowned and said: "I don't have much contact, mainly because I have heard about it, I can't say how much ability I have, but I am decent and more than steady." ”

Xie Wenlu ...... I have the impression that he had a short post in the capital back then, and many people originally thought that he would have some achievements in the future, but after a few years in Xinghai Province, he did not make much achievements. ”

Tang Shuguang hesitated for a moment and added: "I heard that some people in the provincial party committee were not very satisfied with him and suppressed him. ”

Chen Yuanding frowned slightly, "Who is it?" ”

Tang Shuguang said his name and said: "But that person has been transferred out of Xinghai Province, but because of this matter, there is no one to help him speak anymore, if you really want to mention him, it seems that it is not too difficult now, after all, his qualifications are enough, but in this way, I am afraid that it will provoke the thoughts of officials who are close to that person." ”

Chen Yuanping and Chen Yuanding exchanged glances, and said: "Then let's take it slowly, wait for the next situation before making a decision, if Yuanding can really successfully enter the provincial party committee sequence, and at the same time attract another member of the Standing Committee, it is also a great benefit." ”

At present, in the Xinghai Provincial Party Committee, a propaganda minister is already a person from the Su family and his own side, if Xie Wenlu can really be promoted as the organization minister, then Chen Yuanding will undoubtedly have a unique advantage on the road of the provincial party committee!

Immediately, Chen Yuanping glanced at Chen Xiao with satisfaction, and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that this nephew seemed to be a little distracted, so he shouted first.

Chen Xiao woke up from a brief trance and nodded in response.

Chen Yuanping bowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he rarely smiled in a calm tone: "It seems that in the past half a year, your kid has learned a lot, and he also knows how to fight for allies for his own family, and he can deal with it very well...... Well, how about you start sharpening your skills now? ”

Everyone was stunned.

You must know that Chen Yuanping is the backbone of the old Chen family, and on the one hand, these words are a preliminary recognition of Chen Xiao's changes and progress, and on the other hand, they also want to set his next development path.

But don't think that this is a discussion, Chen Yuanping can say this, basically just say the same!

Chen Xiao was a little uncomfortable with his deep gaze, and also smelled his unquestionable tone, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, why are they all in a hurry to force themselves to the official career now?

was sorting out the wording, and suddenly found that his mother was making a look, as if to imply that he should not disobey his uncle's meaning for the time being, and he felt helpless for a while, but he still spoke: "Uncle, Mr. Su also explored my meaning in this regard that day, but I really have no interest in taking a career at the moment, so it is better to let me continue to exercise on the radio station for some time." ”

Yang Huazhi didn't expect her son to dare to fight against Chen Yuanping, so she could only shake her head and smile bitterly with her husband.

That's it, even if the son has changed, he still has no interest in his career, and it is not easy for parents to force it anymore!

The atmosphere in the lobby froze a little in an instant, Tang Shuguang, Tang Haoyang and his son couldn't help but feel nervous for Chen Xiaoxiao, and said that this kid was bold enough to dare to disobey the head of the family on this occasion, I thought it was a change of surname, but I didn't expect it to be more rebellious than before!

Chen Yuanping raised his thick eyebrows, seeing that Chen Xiao was looking at him without fear, a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to see this nephew thoroughly.

Chen Xiao's heart was pounding at the moment, but she still gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Yuanping, not planning to let go for half a minute.

After a few seconds, Chen Yuanping finally nodded calmly and said, "Well, then respect your meaning first...... Okay, let's go in with your mom for dinner first. ”

Seeing that Chen Yuanping did not pursue his son's "surname Ren", Yang Huazhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and took Chen Xiao's hand, and walked to the back hall together.

"Haoyang, you can go too, Dad will talk to your uncle and them again."

Tang Shuguang knew that it was inconvenient for people to listen to the next thing, so he also broke his son away, and only after everyone was gone, did he smile and say: "This child, after half a year, looks like it has indeed changed a lot, he is bold and calm, and there are some small city mansions, like such a good piece of material." ”

Chen Yuanping took a sip of tea, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "But one thing has not changed, I still have no ambitions." ”

Chen Yuanding shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Leave him some more time, anyway, at the moment, our family doesn't need them to stand up." ”

This stubble has been revealed in this way, even if Chen Xiao's actions in the past half a year have been initially recognized by the family elders, it is always impossible to put all hopes on this once infamous son-in-law.

Tang Shuguang hesitated and said, "Recently, the Duan family and the Ye family seem to be getting closer and closer. ”

The gap between the Chen family and the Duan family is recognized in the circle, not only because the old man in his hometown did not deal with each other, but mainly after the death of the old man Chen, the Duan family began to rob the Chen family of resources in all aspects, and the grievances here are so easy to say!

"Humph! Want to join forces? It also depends on whether his old Duan family has the ability to eat! ”

Chen Yuanping was cold, and the cup was thrown on the table!
