At the very beginning, the news of Minister Chen's pregnancy came out in the Central Propaganda Department, just like the Arabian Nights, for many male cadres in the Central Propaganda Department who are still in the section and department level positions when they are old and even not confused, Director Chen, who holds three positions, is definitely a goddess who cannot be blasphemed, and any rumors that do not look for margins are malicious slander against the goddess.

Ordinary women do not marry until they are thirty years old, and it is undoubtedly considered a wrong decision to delay their youth.

But in the eyes of countless male cadres in the Central Propaganda Department, Minister Chen is definitely not just the youngest member of the Central Committee of the Celestial Empire.

The grassroots cadres of the Central Propaganda Department are destined not to understand the dynamics of the upper echelons, they only vaguely know that Minister Chen seems to have just gotten married not long ago, and her husband's family is also the top wealthy family in the country, as for the authenticity of the news, naturally no one is willing to dig out, and even they are more willing to wishful thinking that Minister Chen's marriage is just a rumor, and they prefer to believe that such an excellent woman has always proudly chosen to be single. Don't pretend to pursue anything.

As for the ring on the ring finger of the minister's little hand?

It doesn't mean anything at all, it's just decoration.

This belongs to the common psychology of people, regardless of gender, too good men or women, suitors can accept the fact that they can't get him, but they are extremely disgusted that others get her or him in their hearts.

It seems that these people who surround the halo should be single in the first place, and it is the most logical to make everyone unattainable.

It's not logical, but it's perfectly in everyone's heart.

But just when countless people were imagining the voice and smile of the No. 2 boss of the Central Propaganda Department after work, an almost cruel fact finally broke the hearts of those married or unmarried male cadres.

Minister Chen is not only married, but as rumored, he is really pregnant!

Three months pregnant.

If you put it on a woman with a slightly plump figure, it is not obvious if you cover it up a little, and even those who are not familiar with it can't see it at all.

But Chen Hualou's figure is extremely thin and tall, which is not to say that her figure is like a bamboo pole, in fact, Minister Chen's round buttocks and proud breasts have always been Wang Fuxing's favorite parts, she is thin, but she doesn't look thin, she just looks delicate.

So when Minister Chen's originally unusually flat abdomen began to bulge slightly, it was originally a small arc, but on her, it was much more obvious than the others.

The news of the second boss's pregnancy was completely confirmed.

While countless people were wailing and indignant in their hearts, they all envied the mysterious man who seemed to have never appeared in the Central Propaganda Department.

And the characters in the ministry who can really know some of the inside information are also secretive about this matter and have remained silent.

Even regarding the news of the executive deputy minister's pregnancy, members of the Politburo, members of the Secretariat, and head of the Central Propaganda Department did not even greet Xiang Ming with a courtesy greeting.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare, or it's inconvenient.

Xiang Ming is a more traditional leader, strictly speaking, although his political leaning is closer to Xue Zhiguo, he is not a member of the southwest faction.

His attitude is very correct.

The Central Propaganda Department is the tongue of the party and the most important functional department of the party, and the number one leader is moving closer to the top leader of the party, and it is completely right, and no one can say anything, just as the top leaders of the plenum and the country, the Supreme Procuratorate and the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Public Security have begun to move closer to Li Donglei, the top leader of the soon-to-be-becoming government of the Celestial Empire.

Xiang Ming supports General Secretary Xue Zhiguo, but he also supports it in principle.

His views have always been clear, pro-work, but not involved in any form of factional struggle.

In other words, I can support your work and promise to be obedient, but you can't make me do anything that goes against the spirit of the party.

On the surface, this practice is very normal, but in reality, this kind of reserved support is, in the eyes of any person in power, an extremely unstable factor.

It is precisely because of this reservation that at the recent plenary session of the Central Committee, Xiang Ming, who had very little trace of faction, did not enter the inner circle at the highest level, but continued to be elected as a member of the Politburo, and at the same time continued to serve as secretary of the Secretariat and head of the Central Propaganda Department.

The former represents the abandonment of him by the southwest faction, and the latter represents the support of General Secretary Xue Zhiguo for him from a personal standpoint.

Clear, distinct.

After all, even if he is not a figure of the southwest faction, he still supports Xue Zhiguo, and it would be too hurtful to let the family retire directly in the end.

Xiang Ming is not surprised that he can't go further, it's just a little regret, this is the result he always wanted, and now it seems that it is also the best result.

From beginning to end, he maintained a fairly good tacit understanding with the southwest side.

"It's my bottom line not to get involved in some messy struggles."

In the minister's office, Xiang Ming held a cigarette, his tone was calm, and he said seriously: "Lao Lin, you have to withstand the pressure." ”

A man about fifty years old sitting opposite Xiang Ming smiled bitterly, stretched out his hands, rubbed his face vigorously, and said sullenly for a while: "Minister, have you really decided?" ”

Xiang Ming held a cigarette in one hand, and fiddled with the small national flag on the table with the other, his eyes did not change in the slightest, he looked at the other party firmly and calmly, and said calmly: "Tell me about your decision." ”

Lao Lin hesitated and said with a wry smile: "Yesterday, Director Liu of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee had a meeting at my house, and he hinted at me between the lines, saying that some people hope that I can play some role in the Central Propaganda Department, but I have not yet made up my mind. ”

"What role should you play?"

Xiang Ming's voice suddenly raised, anger flashed in his slightly agitated tone, he leaned forward slightly, looked at Lao Lin in front of him with sharp eyes, and snorted coldly: "What do you mean by the role you can play?" It's just playing the piano randomly! What role can you play? Lao Lin, your task is to cooperate with me and Minister Chen's work, not to be ordered to cause chaos for your own leaders, you have prestige, but you have to make good use of it, don't use the prestige you have accumulated over the years to do some crooked things, you really did that, maybe it will be good for you, but it is absolutely limited, but once there is a disadvantage, it is easy to be thrown away to protect the handsome, who can save you when the time comes?! ”

Lao Lin was silent.

offended a deputy director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, although he was unwilling, but he could not afford to offend, and what made him scruple the most was the person behind him hinted at by Director Liu of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee last night.

That's the character that Lao Lin really can't mess with.

Lao Lin, as the first deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department in addition to Xiang Ming and Chen Hualou, and as a member of the Central Committee, he has a very high prestige in the Central Propaganda Department, which means that he hopes that he can use his energy to find some trouble for Chen Hualou, to be honest, it is not difficult for Lao Lin to do this, but the difficult thing is how to choose.

Accepting it is equivalent to standing in line.

refused, in the eyes of that side, he was tantamount to stepping into the camp of the Wang family.

The way of officialdom is tortuous, there has never been absolute neutrality, if Lao Lin really decides, he will not come to communicate with Xiang Ming.

"Minister, I still say the same thing, when you were the secretary of the Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee and recommended me to be the mayor, I said that as long as we are in the officialdom in this life, I will listen to you wherever you point and where I fight."

The warm look in Xiang Ming's eyes flashed, his political faction was not obvious, and Lao Lin's was not obvious, if he had to be classified into a certain party, then Lao Lin was his person, and he was absolutely loyal.

Old subordinates, more than 20 years of friendship, how hypocritical this officialdom is, some feelings, and it is also trustworthy.

"In this way, after lunch, you prepare, I will take you to make a work report with General Secretary Xue Zhiguo, remember, the attitude must be respectful, as for what you should do after you come back, what should you do, what Director Liu is looking for you, you just treat it as if it never happened."

Lao Lin didn't hesitate at all, nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I listen to the minister." ”

Xiang Ming nodded slightly, and said softly: "I'm doing this for your good, now the two sides are making a lot of trouble, you must not participate in this matter, otherwise if you are not careful, you will be easily crushed, and there will be no chance to come out again." ”

"So serious?"

Lao Lin was slightly startled, and then subconsciously said: "But it's nothing, as long as you are smarter and stand in line, although the risk of this time is very high, as long as you can survive this time, there will be an opportunity to reward meritorious deeds in the future, the southwest side, after all, there is a general secretary, and the chance of winning is still very big, and Secretary Li Donglei, after all, is still the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, and he can't control the high-level voice for the time being." ”

"Is this what you call smart?"

With a hint of ridicule at the corner of Xiang Ming's mouth, he said lightly: "It's just self-righteousness, many people think so about you, but I can only tell you, don't underestimate the strength of the royal family, you, use your brains to do things, if the southwest is really as powerful as you say, then what else do you do?" Huh, high-rise? Do you really think it's safe to go to the top? The so-called security is just that the game is not fierce enough, and it is difficult to say this time. ”

"Minister, what do you mean?"

Lao Lin was startled.

Xiang Ming didn't say anything, just threw a document to Lao Lin, and said calmly: "Minister Chen just found someone to send it over, you can see it yourself." It's going to be unbearable over there. ”――

It's a little shorter

In a hurry-
