"Huh? Yu Hong, why are you here? Something? ”

Yu Hong said with a smile: "Russia has organized a group of college students to visit China, and plans to visit and exchange in China before the Spring Festival, which is also a return visit to our last art exchange activity in Russia. They passed on an activity plan, and Zhou Shu~ asked me to send this plan to you and give advice. Zhou Shu~ Ji said that you are the head of the delegation to Russia, and you are still the main recipient of this reception. ”

"Well, got it, give me the plan."

Yu Hong handed over the plan, his eyes rolled around, and he asked, "Ye Shu~ Ji, where are you going to go?" ”

"Let's go to the tea room outside the party school to sit for a while and talk about something."

Yu Hong volunteered, raised his hand and said, "I'll go too!" I can make tea! ”

If Yu Hong has any specialty, he only has the skill of making tea, this Nizi looks focused when making tea, is very serious, and her movements are soothing and have the demeanor of everyone, which stimulates the advantages of women. So, it's very revealing **.

Ye Zhiran shook his head and said, "Huh? No, the tea room is still afraid that there is no one to make tea? Go and talk to Assistant Wang about the Russian delegation. ”

Yu Hong said tangledly: "Well, by the way, if you don't look at Sister Wanwan's words when you go to the party school, you will be talked to by her again." Which room does she live in? I'm going to find her now. Also, do you have any good single men in your class? Sister Wanwan is still waiting for the boudoir. ”

Ye Zhiran was accustomed to Yu Hongkou's unobstructed character, told her the room number, and then asked, "Why did Xiao Ding come with him?" ”

Yu Hong said triumphantly: "He, now he is my little follower." Flower Protector! ”

Ye Zhiran took care of Ding Zhannian: "It's equivalent to Hong and Assistant Wang finishing their business, you send her back as soon as possible." ”

Ding Zhannian hurriedly agreed.

On the way to the tea room. Zhu Qingcai said with a smile: "Brother Ye, this is the daughter of Vice Premier Yu's family, right?" I have long heard that she is a bit maverick and open-mouthed. ”

"Well, Qingcai, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Yu Hong has made great progress recently, and he has a clear eye for doing things. The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League is already inspecting her, and if it goes well, she can be promoted to a post at the deputy department level before the Spring Festival. ”

Zhu Qingcai was a little unconvinced. said: "Mentioning the deputy director level can't mean anything, her background is here, it's strange not to mention it." ”

"These are two different things, Yu Hong has three major advantages, one is strong affinity, and can talk to anyone; the second is jealousy and hatred, and has a true temperament; The third is to do things very seriously. Scrupulous. Now people of her age are a little rebellious, and Yu Hong is good. ”

When they arrived at the tea room, they asked for a large private room, brewed tea, and began to play cards.

The trainees who participated in the theoretical seminar for department-level cadres were all reserve cadres in various ministries and commissions, and they all held a certain amount of power in their hands. There is great upside potential. For them, taking advantage of the opportunity of classmates in the party school to form friendships with each other is no less valuable than this gilding. With these students in various parts, it will be much more convenient to go to other ministries and commissions in the future; And once released. The students working in these ministries and commissions are foreign aid that they can rely on, and their role cannot be underestimated.

That's why. All 30 members of their class work in the capital and have their own places to stay, but all of them live in schools to strengthen communication with each other.

By the fourth day, the thirty men had become so familiar with each other that they could not only call each other by name, but also learn each other's preferences. Ye Zhiran gradually became the core figure of their class, and the number of people calling him Brother Ye continued to increase, as if he was the boss.

After class this day, Lu Shenping quietly pulled Ye Zhiran over and said, "Brother Ye, I don't know if I have time today, my father wants to make a meeting with you and have a chat." If it's inconvenient today, it's the same tomorrow. ”

Not? Lu Shenping's incident alarmed his old man?

Ye Zhiran said with a smile: "Since my uncle summoned me, let's go over early." ”

Lu Shenping was overjoyed, and hurriedly called home and asked the family to send a car to pick him up.

Lu Mansion is also a courtyard assigned to Lu Shenping's grandfather by the state after liberation.

Although the courtyard is a little old, this is a symbol of status, at least it shows that the Lu family is also a family in the capital.

The car drove to Lu Mansion, Ye Zhiran got out of the car and followed Lu Shenping into the small courtyard. Lu Shenping's father, who was nearly seventy years old and in good health, saw Ye Zhiran enter the living room and stood up from the chair with a smile.

Lu Shenping made a briefing.

Ye Zhiran walked forward quickly, stretched out his hands to hold Lu Shenping's father's hand, and said, "Old Lu, I have heard of you a long time ago, you are the veteran of the First Machinery Department and the leader of the shipbuilding industry, and you have admired you for a long time. ”

Lu Lao belongs to the kind of old man who is hard to buy and thin, because he is thin, he looks energetic, and said with a smile: "Ye Shu~ Ji, no wonder the Lu family is declining, and the rising star like you in the capital doesn't know, it's rude!" ”

When Ye Zhiran heard this, this was the smell of making amends on behalf of Lu Shenping, and hurriedly shook his hand to show his modesty, and said: "Old Lu, I am a junior, and I can't afford it." Actually, Shen Ping and I don't know each other, and now we get along very well. ”

Hearing this, Boss Lu was satisfied, pointed to the Taishi chair next to him, and said, "Ye Shu~Ji, please sit down and talk." ”

The living room of the Lu family maintains an ancient style. At the top of the living room is a mahogany table of eight immortals, and on both sides of the table are two chairs of the Taishi.

Lu Lao is the master and should sit in the main seat facing the door, Ye Zhiran sits in the guest seat, and as for Lu Shenping, he can only sit in the position of accompanying the guest.

Lu Lao said slowly: "Ye Shu~ Remember, speaking of which, my father and Ye Lao also know each other, and we are not outsiders. It's just that the old man left too early and became estranged from everyone's contacts. ”

Ye Zhiran smiled and said: "After Ye Lao retired, he has been living in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has very little contact with various families in the capital, not only Lu Mansion, but also other families. ”

It means that Ye Lao does not look down on the Lu family, so he has no contact.

Lu Lao smiled with relief: "That's true, now there are not many families in the capital who know Ye Lao, but your father-in-law is now a representative of the Young Zhuang faction in the army, and he controls the most brave and combative troops in the Republic, and his momentum is growing." ”

It seems that after Lu Shenping made a mistake, the Lu family has investigated Ye Zhiran's ancestors for eighteen generations, and knows that the situation of Ye Zhiran's father-in-law's family is self-conscious.

Ye Zhiran smiled and said: "My father-in-law is very concerned about national defense construction, and in order to make the army meet the needs of modern warfare, he vigorously advocates the strategic idea of strengthening the army through science and technology. However, Lu Lao said that he was a soldier of the Shaozhuang faction...... He was sixty-three. ”

Lu Lao smiled: "There is a certain correspondence between age and position, at his age, he is a young man among the main leaders of the large military region, and he can work for the country for at least ten years." ”

After a few polite words like this, Lu Lao's face gradually became serious, and he said slowly: "Ye Shu~ Remember, Shenping is still young, and sometimes he is more impulsive, please understand." He called back the other day, impressed by your open-mindedness and leadership skills, and showed a desire to follow. The fact that he was able to think like this shows that he is gradually maturing politically and daring to have independent thoughts. However, there is a difficulty in this......"

Ye Zhiran said quietly: "Old Lu, it's okay to say it. ”

"Our Lu family has always been tied to the Zhang family, which has both historical origins and practical considerations...... My old man left early, and left in '74. After the central authorities put things in order at the end of the 70s, the old cadres were liberated again and came out to work one after another. My family didn't take advantage of the situation at this critical moment, so the Lu family gradually declined. In the past few years, in order to embark on a career for Shen Ping, the Lu family has devoted all their resources to paving the way for him......"

Lu Lao said the bitterness, shook his head and sighed, and said: "My family is not much different from the Zhang family in the early years, the agrarian revolution, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation have always advanced and retreated together, but in the past 20 years, they can only be reduced to vassals. Even so, the Lu family did not dare to break away from the Zhang family's forces easily, otherwise it would be even weaker. This is also the reality. It is easy to fall in the middle of the family, but it is difficult to revive. Now Shen Ping is in his forties, and he is only a deputy department-level cadre, according to this development, now that he is out of the threshold of the deputy minister-level due to his age, the Lu family will be erased from the major families in the capital. ”

In the eyes of ordinary people, deputy department-level cadres are already high-ranking officials, but for people like the Lu family, whose ancestors have contributed to the establishment of the country, they are somewhat insignificant.

Ye Zhiran understood Lu Lao's mentality for a moment, and said calmly: "The leaders of the older generation have paid the price of blood and lives for the establishment of the country, and most of their descendants are still working diligently for the construction and development of the country and for the long-term peace and stability of the country. However, the country is constantly making progress and developing, and the people need more good cadres and good leaders to lead them to establish a fair social environment and lead them to common prosperity...... There are many things that Shen Ping can do, as long as he sincerely seeks the interests of the people and does things for the people, he will eventually be supported by everyone and take up important leadership positions...... I am convinced of this. ”

Lu Lao was stunned for a moment, and slowly chewed Ye Zhiran's words for a few minutes, the truth behind these words was very different from the combination of the Beijing family in order to seek benefits and expand the interests of the family. Slowly, he showed an appreciative gaze and said, "Ye Shu~ Ji, your words opened me up to another line of thought. No wonder you can get the attention of so many senior leaders, and your ideological realm is really a few levels higher than Shen Ping. The first consideration of the children of the big family is to balance the interests of each family, how to create conditions for the development of the family, your vision and thinking have been completely out of this level, very good! ”

He said as if he had made up his mind: "I also want to ask you to care more about Shenping's growth." At this stage, Shen Ping still has the logo of the Zhang family on his body, I thought about it, it is not the best choice for our Lu family to break away from the Zhang family at present, but Shen Ping can gradually change the camp. If one day you take the position of deputy minister-level leader, it is more reasonable for Shen Ping to follow again; When you take up a ministerial-level position, the Lu family can completely break away from the influence of the Zhang family and switch to your subordinate...... Although the Lu family is weak, they also have some resources to help you. ”
