Shi Zhong was dragged for no reason, but he didn't resist, he also guessed that he was probably welcoming some big man here, he broke in for no reason, don't spoil other people's good things, so he obediently stood in a row, Li Xianda looked at Shi Zhong gratefully, and then, looked at the door eagerly.

After a while, two cars came in one after another, parked, and two middle-aged people got out of the car, wearing suits and leather shoes, but they were not afraid of the cold, one of them had a Chinese face, his hair was meticulously combed, and he had a reserved smile on his face, which looked a little majestic.

The other had a bright smile on his face, but Shi Zhong had a faint impression of him, but he didn't remember where he had seen this person.

Li Xianda hurriedly went up to say hello and say hello, but although everyone was very enthusiastic, the middle-aged man with the Chinese character face still smiled faintly and was very reserved, it seemed that only in this way could his majesty be brought out.

It's another middle-aged man, Shi Zhong finally remembered who he was, and when he heard Li Xianda call him Mayor Xu, Shi Zhong suddenly said, isn't it the deputy mayor who bought the Shangrao City Water Supply Company last time to receive himself and Andrew?

However, Shi Zhong didn't have much friendship with him, and people didn't necessarily remember him as a little person, so he didn't go over to say hello, and planned to wait for them to go in and find a restaurant to eat.

"Huh? You are... Mr. Shi? Xu Dongqiang is good at remembering the surname, looking at Shi Zhong's familiar eyes, he hesitated to call out Shi Zhong's name, no wonder, when he transferred 51% of the shares of the water company, he naturally had to study Shi Zhong carefully, after all, the political axe has 49% of the shares in his hands, and Andrew has 47% in his hands, so 4% of Shi Zhong's hands are very critical, and it is better to be cautious in the industry related to people's livelihood.

"Hehe, Mayor Xu is good at remembering his surname, I didn't expect to remember me!" When Shi Zhong saw that he was recognized, he naturally couldn't pretend to be able to go down, so he shook hands with Xu Dongqiang, but Li Xianda, director of the Beijing Office, looked at Shi Zhong in surprise, this young man is really not an ordinary person, Mayor Xu actually knows it.

"You are our big entrepreneur in Shangrao, creating taxes for Shangrao, I naturally have to remember our food and clothing parents!" Xu Dongqiang spoke very humorously, and immediately asked, "Mr. Shi, what is the matter with you coming to the Beijing Office?" ”

That's really fine! Shi Zhong muttered to himself and smiled: "I thought this was a hotel, so I walked in, but I didn't expect them to be receiving you, a big leader, but they collided with you!" ”

"Where am I a leader, I can only be regarded as a petty official in Beijing, come, let me introduce to you, Director Zhang, this is our entrepreneur in Shangrao City, Mr. Shi, Director Zhang is the leader of the weight department of the Ministry of Finance [Administration], and Director Zhang is the big leader!" Xu Dongqiang said with a smile.

"Hello, good luck!" Shi Zhong said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Director Zhang nodded reservedly, his face was a little impatient, he looked at his watch, looked up and said to Xu Dongqiang, "Mayor Xu, let's do it, tomorrow you send your project application, accounting, provincial approval, etc. and other relevant documents to my office, and I will study and study, okay?" The tone of his speech was completely businesslike.

Li Xianda was secretly anxious, he had just invited this god to the door of his house, why did he have to go back? The official in Beijing is really a big name, and he didn't take care of you in a few words, so he couldn't hang up, you are at the deputy department level, and Mayor Xu is also the deputy department, of course, such thoughts are also turning in his head.

"Director Zhang, it's all here, why don't you have dinner and leave?" Xu Dongqiang was a little angry, after all, he was the mayor of the palace, and this Director Zhang gave him a face in front of Li Xianda's subordinates.

Director Zhang looked at his watch again as if he hadn't seen anything: "Don't eat it, okay?" It's really urgent, the project you mentioned, if it is feasible, I will report it, but whether it can be passed or not is not up to me! ”

Xu Dongqiang nodded silently, still smiling: "Then it's troublesome Director Zhang!" In fact, he knew that he was afraid that he would return empty-handed on this trip to Beijing.

After Director Zhang left, Shi Zhong was a little embarrassed and said, "Mayor Xu, I'm really embarrassed, I didn't expect to disturb you!" ”

Xu Dongqiang was open-minded and waved his hand indifferently: "It's not your problem, let's go, let's go in for dinner!" ”

Li Xianda sighed, this time Mayor Xu is afraid that he will sit on the cold bench when he goes back, and the work in charge will also be adjusted, Li Xianda has a feeling that he is also a fallen person at the end of the world, he was assigned to Yanjing, although the Beijing Office is also full of oil and water, but it is getting farther and farther away from the political center, who knows when he will be transferred back to settle down?

Shi Zhongzheng said that he was invited out to eat, and the mobile phone rang, and the landline of Bei [Beijing] answered: "Hey! ”

"Hey, Shi Zhong, I'm Chu Liang!" Chu Liang's voice has always been so calm except for last night.

"Brother Chu!" Shi Zhong screamed, but he didn't speak, waiting for Chu Liang's later words.

Chu Liang said "um", and sure enough, he said, "My grandfather wants to meet you!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Shi Zhong said to Xu Dongqiang: "Mayor Xu, I'm really embarrassed, there are elders who invite you to dinner, I can't push it, next time, next time I will invite you to dinner!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xu Dongqiang is not like those who are officials, and his face is gloomy when he is rejected.

Xu Dongqiang chatted with Shi Zhong outside, which made Shi Zhong very unhappy, and said in his heart, this is a very gentle official.

About twenty minutes, an Audi car drove in, and a man in his thirties got down from the passenger seat, with gold-wire glasses, and a man in his thirties, who was accustomed to scanning around, fixed his eyes on Shi Zhong, and walked over and stretched out his hand: "You are Mr. Shi, I am Secretary Chu's secretary, Guo Qiangjiang, you just call me Qiangjiang, I am here to pick you up!" ”

"Secretary Guo, it's over!" Shi Zhong stretched out his hand and held it enthusiastically, Guo Qiangjiang smiled, he didn't know about the Chu family, but when he heard Secretary Chu solemnly order him to come and pick up this young man, he knew that this young man's status was not simple, so he naturally wouldn't put a secretary on the shelf, and said with a smile, "Where!" ”

Shi Zhong said hello to Xu Dongqiang and got into the back seat.

When the car drove out, Li Xianda still couldn't recover from the shock, and said to Xu Dongqiang with a flushed face: "Mayor Xu... That car... The car—" stammered and couldn't say a complete word.

"What kind of car doesn't drive?" Xu Dongqiang frowned.

Li Xianda smiled wryly and said, "Mayor Xu, the license plate of that car belongs to the Ministry of Finance [Administration], and it seems to be the car of Minister Chu in the past!" "Chu Decai was in charge of the Ministry of Finance and Administration before he became the secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, and not long after the appointment, Chu Decai never handed over the car.

"What?" Xu Dongqiang was shocked, his surprise could not be concealed, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at the vast blue sea in the south, the southern foot of Dongshan in Beidaihe, in the pine and cypress, a villa group of red bricks and green tiles can be faintly seen, it is not very conspicuous from the outside, but when climbing the path to the south peak, tourists will be stopped by the armed police with loaded guns, which makes people faintly know the meaning of the mysterious villa group, this villa group is the summer office of the head of the central [central].

Unlike the villas of other ministries and commissions that occasionally select handsome men and women from the local area as service personnel, the villa group adjacent to No. 5 belongs to the management of the Central [Central] Military [Committee], and the villa from the waiter to the life secretary is not a soldier, and when the heroic female orderly wearing a sky blue uniform serves a teacup to Shi Zhong, Shi Zhong feels a strong sense of unreality, this mysterious and red villa group in front of the world, stepped in?

After a while, an old man walked out and pushed away Chu Liang's support beside him, Shi Zhong noticed that there was a trace of stubbornness in the old man's eyes, as if he was a little childish in order to prove that he could do it, thinking like this, Shi Zhong's heart was much more relaxed, and only he could evaluate this former deputy [master] [seat] of the military [committee] as childish!

Chu Lao, Chu Liang's grandfather, is not much famous among the many generals who founded the country, and the establishment of his prestige is the establishment of many battles after the founding of the People's Republic of China, such as the Anti-American War, the Vietnam War, etc., the old man of qualifications is unsurpassed in the army, although he has retired, but his influence in the army and even the political hall cannot be underestimated.

The old man is not tall, but he has a majesty, he sat down next to the stone clock, and a momentum came to his face, and the stone clock said secretly, this is the legendary aura, right?

Shi Zhong had already stood up and shouted "Chu Lao", Chu Lao smiled and pressed his hand, and said, "Sit, sit, you are my life-saving benefactor, and it is not in accordance with the rules to ask you, the life-saving benefactor, to salute me!" ”

Shi Zhong sat down and said, "A little excited!" ”

"Haha, the little guy is honest!" Chu Lao said with a smile, he is worthy of being born in the army, and he speaks very loudly, but he also owes Shi Zhong's life essence, although he still looks a little sick, but his body is no longer in trouble.

Chu Liang stood quietly beside Chu Lao, full of filial piety and filial piety, Shi Zhong was a little funny, it was rare to see Chu Liang with such an expression as Gujing Bubo, he could be regarded as full of eyes.

Chu Lao didn't ask Shi Zhong about his medical skills, but simply asked Shi Zhong about his life, which made Shi Zhong feel a lot closer all of a sudden.

Without saying a few words, Chu Lao got up and said, "Let's go, let's eat, don't make you hungry, come, come with me!" ”

Shi Zhong smiled, trotted to Chu Lao's side, looked at this old man, and sighed a little in his heart, once upon a time, he was dominant, strategizing, but he couldn't escape the erosion of the years, and all he could do was to maximize his vitality.

Just the three of them ate at the same table, Chu Lao didn't ask others to accompany him, and he thought about it, taking into account Shi Zhong's feelings, which made Shi Zhong breathe a sigh of relief, this meal was very relaxed.
