"Honey, would you like an apple? It's very sweet, come, taste? ”

"I don't want to eat, I don't have an appetite."

"Then eat an orange, come, I'll peel one for you."

"Don't."

"Hmm... Are you thirsty? I'll pour you some water. ”

"Can you sit down first? Don't be busy, I just want to sleep. ”

A soft little hand gently grabbed his warm palm, and the voice of the owner of the little hand was unusually crisp and beautiful, but there was a trace of melancholy and helplessness in his tone.

Qin Tianjiao put back the delicate water cup with the cartoon bear attached to the table again, and he was not angry, just smiled, and there was no other emotion in his eyes except satisfaction and joy.

There's nothing happier than watching your wife get better day by day.

"The doctor said, you can't sleep all day in a situation like this, it's right to rest more, but you also need to supplement some nutrition, and you also have to go out for a walk, I pushed you out for a walk?"

Qin Tianjiao held the little hand of the rat and kissed it, and said softly.

The rat shook his head, leaned back on the bed, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

"Then watch TV, good wife, although the way you are asleep is charming, but I have watched it for so many days, you have to let me see you when you are awake, right?"

Qin Tianjiao stood up with a smile and went to get the remote control.

Zirat seemed to be annoyed by her husband's chirping by her bedside for a morning, and turned her head fiercely, waiting for him with wide eyes, her eyes annoyed and resentful, and she did not speak.

Qin Tianjiao held the remote control, but did not turn on the TV, sat in his position, and fell silent.

"I'm not in the mood, can you let me sleep a little longer? Can I chat with you when I wake up? ”

Zi Rat was silent for a while, then took the initiative to reach out and pull up Qin Tianjiao's palm, his tone soft and almost coquettish.

"You're still worried about him?"

Qin Tianjiao was silent for a while and asked softly.

Zi Rat glanced at him, but he didn't see what his husband, who he had always known well, was thinking at this time, so he could only hum and say softly: "He is my brother after all." And for my sake, he left the Celestial Empire, is there any news now? ”

Qin Tianjiao seemed to want to say something, but he held back, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I got the news at noon yesterday, if it is correct, he should be at Rothschild Castle in London, England now, when I received the news, it was the middle of the night in the UK time, according to reliable sources, someone was in Rothschild. At Lan's birthday party, I saw a young man from the East, who had a very close relationship with Miss Lan, and claimed to be surnamed Wang, but unfortunately, our family in the UK was not qualified to attend that birthday party, unless we went by ourselves. ”

"Really?"

Zi Rat's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Qin Tianjiao, his tone was a little surprised.

Qin Tianjiao tried his best to hide his unnaturalness, smiled and nodded: "Of course, he is a Rothschild's honored guest, don't worry, he will be very safe there." ”

Zi Rat nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said softly, "Did you tell them?" ”

These are naturally the sisters-in-law in the imperial palace.

Qin Tianjiao, who was extremely awkward every time he called his sister-in-law, shook his head even more unnaturally and said, "No, but this kind of news, the Qin family can receive it, and Xia Qinwei naturally has a way to receive it, so we don't need to notify us." ”

"Don't call me sister-in-law anymore?"

The rat tilted his little head, smiling and smiling, and his mood seemed to be much better.

Qin Tianjiao subconsciously touched his nose and glared at his wife fiercely.

Zi Rat pursed his lips and smiled, carefully moved his body, let go of half of the bed, and said, "You come up, let me lean on." ”

Qin Tianjiao snorted, went to pour a glass of water first, then turned on the TV, hugged his wife in his arms, and was silent.

A legal column is being broadcast on the television, and the content is the incident of the arrest of the black boss Long Fei, the first good man in the southwest in the past few days.

Zi Rat listened quietly, and only after the end of the show did he say softly: "This matter has something to do with the Wang family, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Qin Tianjiao didn't hesitate and nodded: "After enduring it for so long, we should have fought back a long time ago." ”

The pale rat, barely bloody, moved lightly in Qin Tianjiao's arms, nodded and muttered, "You must not let him go." ”

"Of course."

Qin Tianjiao touched his wife's long hair, his tone was gentle, but there was a cold light in his eyes-

In the afternoon, in the sanatorium for dignitaries in Zhongnanhai, a young man about 30 years old pushed a middle-aged man in his 50s to the Huxin Pavilion in the sanatorium.

The weather is cold.

But the center of power in this country is still a picturesque scene, but the lake in the center of the lake pavilion has frozen, because of the weather, the ice is very thick, unusually smooth, and the hard ice on which no grass grows has spread all the way to the shore.

To be honest, this is not a so-called beauty, but a little lonely, such a day, looking at such a scene, the temperature in the air seems to drop a few points.

The young man who was carefully pushing the middle-aged man subconsciously shuddered, held the handle of the wheelchair tightly, and said softly: "Mayor, the weather is too cold, go back?" ”

"Stay for a while, little grandson, you go back and add some clothes, the weather is really bad."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and smiled, his face was extremely pale with weakness, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, just the movement of waving his hand had already made his breathing a little heavier.

"Where is the mayor, I'm just worried about your body, I'm young and frost-resistant."

The young man named Xiao Sun smiled, facing this senior cadre at the core of the Celestial Empire, there was not much awe, only respect.

The middle-aged man smiled, turned his head to look at the ice in the lake, and said softly: "I have read your recent work report, and you have done a very good job, I am very satisfied, after you go back, you should communicate more with the comrades, especially the comrades of the municipal government, and accurately convey my meaning." I am not worried about the development of the southwest, but the most important one, the direction of development, must not be variable. ”

"Yes, I understand what the mayor means, and I will definitely complete the mayor's explanation, please rest assured."

The young man smiled and agreed, full of confidence.

He does have this self-confidence and this strength.

As the first secretary of the Southwest Municipal Government, in the southwest, where the mayor's secretary is stronger than the secretary's secretary, Secretary Sun's hidden rights are even more than the average deputy mayor, and his direct leader Lin Qingtian has been in the sanatorium during this time, the southwest has always been a solid fortress, without any turmoil, any instructions from Lin Qingtian can be conveyed by Secretary Sun, and then Zhou Xu, the executive vice mayor of Southwest City, is responsible for the implementation, more than a month, there has been no error.

Lin Qingtian, who still looked weak, nodded slightly, groaned for a while, and then slowly asked, "Little Sun, how many years have you been with me?" ”

"Four years and nine months, five years soon."

Secretary Sun did not hesitate to give an accurate number, and the emotion in his eyes flashed, and then turned into full gratitude and admiration.

When he first met Mayor Lin, he was just a very ordinary member of the southwest secretary's office, and even worried about how to please the leader and gain the appreciation of the leader every day, but the mayor of the southwest, Lin Qingtian, unexpectedly chose him as the secretary, and the original department-level treatment quickly rose to the department level, and as time went by, he and Lin Qingtian's cooperation became more and more tacit, and he won the trust and appreciation of the leader.

Secretary Sun doesn't care what the outside world thinks of his leader now, anyway, in his heart, this man is a person who deserves to repay him with everything he has.

This is the true grace of knowledge.

It is also the fate between the two.

"Mayor, when can you go back to the southwest to preside over the work?"

Secretary Sun took a step forward, tidied up the blanket covered by Lin Qingtian, and said with a smile: "Recently, your body has been recovering faster and faster. ”

"Back to the Southwest?"

Lin Qingtian was stunned, shook his head slightly, and said: "In the southwest, there are other arrangements in the organization, and after I am discharged from the hospital, my work may have to be moved." ”

Secretary Sun was stunned for a while, looked at Lin Qingtian blankly, and was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Come to the capital?" ”

Before the plenary session, General Secretary Xue Zhiguo's intention to let Lin Qingtian serve as the secretary of the capital municipal party committee was absolutely confidential, but Lin Qingtian revealed this matter to the secretary, and from this point alone, it is enough to see his trust in this secretary.

The unwillingness in Lin Qingtian's eyes flashed away, extremely vague, he slowly shook his head, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "The general secretary has already talked to me, and after I am discharged from the hospital, I will go to Nanyue." ”

Secretary Sun couldn't help but shake his head, and reluctantly smiled: "That's not bad. ”

It's not bad, really.

Now rumors about Lin Qingtian are flying all over the sky, most of which point to the mastermind behind Wang Shaotian's assassination on the day of Wang Shao's wedding, but the reason why the rumors are rumors is nothing more than because they have not been confirmed.

In other words, Lin Qingtian is still a high-profile member of the Politburo who was elected at the recent plenary session of the Central Committee, and he is a good cadre who has made no mistakes and deserves to be appointed to a new post and entrusted with more important posts.

Then when he is discharged from the hospital, there must be a place where he can stuff a Politburo member.

Nanyue is a good choice, even a very good choice.

The successive secretaries of the provincial party committees in Nanyue, except for Ye Jinhua, who was not elected for special reasons in the previous term, are all real Politburo members, and they can enter the top core of the big guys.

There are two sub-provincial-level cities in a province, and even one of them is a bridgehead for reform and opening up.

Even if it weren't for the fact that the Chen Department was making a hindrance five years ago, Ye Jinhua's accident would not have occurred at all, and in this big change, he and Xiang Ming would both enter the highest level.

It's just that there are some things that don't have ifs.

However, if Lin Qingtian parachuted into Nanyue as a member of the Politburo, then he would most likely enter the Central Committee in five years' time, that is, sit in the position of vice chairman of the nearby General Secretary Xue Zhiguo.

At that time, he can be a member of the Politburo, but he does not rule out the possibility of directly joining the Standing Committee and preparing for a smoother succession in the next five years!

In terms of future alone, the secretary of the Nanyue Provincial Party Committee is not lower than the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, and it is not even at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Secretary Sun said that it was good, but there was still some pity in his heart.

Some things vary from person to person.

And politics, in many cases, cannot turn subjective understanding into objective facts.

If Mayor Lin is in the capital, then at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely get more than restraints, but the full support of the general secretary!

The master and apprentice are together in the capital, so they will be more comfortable in the face of the royal family that is now overwhelming.

Moreover, at this time, Mayor Lin was in the capital, which was tantamount to starting to contact some mistakes at the highest level in advance, five years earlier than his transfer from Nanyue to the central government five years later.

But now it seems that there is little hope for this matter.

"It doesn't matter, this is life, no matter how powerful you are, in this life, no one can sing all the way."

Lin Qingtian smiled and looked at the secretary in front of him with an open-minded look: "Tell me, before I leave, I will make proper arrangements for you in advance, do you come to the central ministry to exercise, or stay in the southwest?" I'll arrange it for you. ”

Secretary Sun opened his mouth, and there was no due surprise in his eyes.

Before any leader leaves, he will properly arrange his secretary, after all, follow himself, this favor, must be paid attention to, otherwise it will be criticized behind his back, and the secretary's arrangement, even if it will not be immediately promoted to the half-level, but will also be arranged to a relatively important position, and the half-level will be raised in the near future.

Secretary Sun is now the deputy hall, and when he is promoted to the main hall, he is a real senior cadre.

If you enter the central ministries and commissions, as long as you seize an opportunity and decentralize the situation, it will be at the level of deputy ministers.

In China, any deputy minister in his or her forties is a very promising figure.

But in the end, he shook his head and said softly, "Mayor, I still want to follow you." ”

"There is no banquet in this world, and if you are following me, you will be delayed, so I can let you come up one step ahead, why should I postpone it? You are not allowed to make mistakes, so be it, go to the Propaganda Department, I will help you arrange it recently, and you will clean it up later, go back to the southwest, explain the things that should be explained, and then come back to me. ”

Lin Qingtian showed a warm smile of relief, stretched out his hand, patted Secretary Sun's shoulder, and said softly: "I'm giving you a word." We are human beings, flesh and blood creatures with thoughts, so we are all selfish, anyone is selfish, but politics is manifested in the table to do things under the table, in politics, in the face of all the people on the table, to do things with a clear conscience, to be an official, to be in politics for the people, always to put in the first place, selfish and selfish only want to study their own future, so what do you do as an official? When you are on the stage, you have to do something practical to benefit the country and the people. As for under the countertop? I will also send you four words, become a king and defeat a villain. Politics is inherently a product of mutual struggle, and there are some means that should not be? Overdone? It's all nonsense, and people who are evaluated like this are often losers, right? As long as you succeed, you can carve history at will, as long as you are worthy of the position under your ass, some means, often not important, are just symbols of success or failure. Finally, I'm saying that before doing anything, you have to use your brain. ”

He patted Xiao Sun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be serious with a madman, because you can't afford to play." ”

Secretary Sun opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an old man who abandoned the guards around him and walked slowly towards the Huxin Pavilion.

Secretary Sun was in his heart for a while, quickly suppressed some thoughts in his heart, stood up to meet him, bowed deeply, and respectfully called the general secretary.

General Secretary Xue Zhiguo nodded, passed by Secretary Sun with a somewhat gloomy face, and walked straight to Lin Qingtian.

Secretary Sun hesitated, and seemed to see that the general secretary was unhappy in his heart, and did not step forward, but retreated a little wisely.

In the pavilion in the heart of the lake, Lin Qingtian personally turned his wheelchair and faced his teacher head-on, his eyes calm.

"How's your body?"

Xue Zhiguo let out a long breath, sat on the stone bench near Lin Qingtian, and said in a calm tone.

"Fortunately, before the Spring Festival, I should be able to be discharged from the hospital."

Lin Qingtian said with a smile, hesitated, and finally couldn't help it, and said softly: "Teacher, what is the result of Zheng Lao's matter?" ”

Xue Zhiguo's palm tightened suddenly, and then slowly released.

Lin Qingtian's heart sank slightly, and his brows furrowed.

"I talked to Comrade Dong Lei just now, but the result is not optimistic, and the attitude over there is very tough."

Xue Zhiguo shook his head, and his tone was a little gloomy: "There is no specific result at present, and we will talk about it again." ”

"Take a step back?"

Lin Qingtian said softly, it was not so much a suggestion as a temptation.

Xue Zhiguo obviously received this signal, glanced at Lin Qingtian, and asked flatly, "What do you think?" ”

"Can't be returned."

Lin Qingtian said calmly, and his tone was straightforward.

Xue Zhiguo frowned, and the anger in his heart began to rise gradually.

Elder Zheng, that's the old leader who single-handedly lifted himself up!

His feelings for him are no worse than Secretary Sun's feelings for Lin Qingtian!

At this time, his most proud student actually told himself that he couldn't return this time?!

Outrageous!

"Wang Fuxing can't return to China!"

Lin Qingtian continued, his tone resolute.

Xue Zhiguo's brows became more and more furrowed, because this was exactly the condition that Li Donglei had just proposed.

"You see, Wang Fuxing is not in the Celestial Empire, and the impact on the combat effectiveness of the royal family is not very great."

Xue Zhiguo looked at Lin Qingtian lightly.

"It's different, the condensation of the combat effectiveness of the royal family is directly related to Wang Fuxing's departure not long ago, after a long time, no matter how powerful Li Donglei is, the people's hearts will gradually disperse, and it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness of a royal family without the head of the Wang family will gradually fade. And even if they don't get depressed, then without Wang Fuxing, the development of the Wang family will become slow, the strength of the Wang family is what we want to see, but the Wang family with Wang Fuxing is not acceptable to us, we can let Wang Fuxing return to China, and even support him, but before he comes back, we must do one thing. ”

Lin Qingtian slowly raised his head, looked at Xue Zhiguo, and said word by word: "That is to control the Wang family in advance!" ”

"So, this time, we can't retreat!"

Lin Qingtian said slowly, he took a deep breath, and continued: "You must not let him go!" ”

There was a rare trace of hesitation in Xue Zhiguo's eyes.

Lin Qingtian turned his wheelchair slightly, looked at the frozen lake, and smiled: "If you let Wang Fuxing return to China now, teacher, have you thought about another question?" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the office of the dignitaries of Zhongnanhai and the location of the general secretary's office.

"Ten years later, when I sit there and work, Wang Fuxing, what position will he look down on the world?"
