Chapter 233: The Bridge
When Jiang Xu came to Building No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee Compound, the time was already close to dusk.
Jiang Xu came alone, Xu Xinyan returned to Building No. 1 in advance, Jiang Xu came to eat, Xu Xinyan naturally had to prepare carefully.
At this time, Xu Shengrong had not returned.
However, Shen Yin came back, and when Jiang Xu entered the door of Building No. 1, she was sitting on the sofa in the hall with a depressed face reading a beauty magazine.
To be correct, Shen Yin was kicked out of the hospital, and Ye Fusen's matter made the Ye family full of hatred for the Xu family, and naturally she would not give her a good look.
Shen Yin didn't know what was going on, because no one sued her at all.
This is also the reason why she is very depressed, so when she saw Jiang Xu coming to the door, she didn't give Jiang Xu any face at all, and directly treated Jiang Xu as an air-like store.
And she couldn't understand why Xu Shengrong had already invited Jiang Xu to her home for dinner.
This is a very high-standard hospitality, this is the No. 1 building of the provincial party committee compound, not everyone is qualified to eat here, and even very few people can be qualified to enter here.
Xu Shengrong attaches great importance to Jiang Xu, and Shen Yin is more and more unhappy with Jiang Xu.
This is enough to show that she is a very narrow-minded and extremely short-sighted woman, if Jiang Xu had not cured Xu Shengrong, she might not have been able to keep her identity as the first lady of Central Fujian Province for long.
It's a pity that Shen Yin didn't think of these at all. She thought more about the embarrassment that Jiang Xu gave her, and Jiang Xu ruined Ye Yuhao's good deeds and sent Ye Yuhao to the hospital bed. The tormentor is not like a man, and a ghost is not like a ghost.
"Jiang Xu, dinner is almost ready, you can sit down first."
Xu Xinyan took Jiang Xu to the hall, and as she spoke, she asked Jiang Xu to sit down on the sofa next to her.
Xu Xinyan wore an apron on her body, although the Xu family had a special chef in charge of Xu Shengrong's diet. But tonight, Xu Xinyan obviously wanted to cook in person to entertain Jiang Xu.
"Well, you go get busy." Jiang Xu sat very calmly. Basically, it directly ignores Shen Yin's storage zài.
For Shen Yin, Jiang Xu basically doesn't have any good feelings at all.
There is another one, Shen Yin should not be Xu Xinyan's real mother, so. Jiang Xu didn't need to be polite to Shen Yin. This kind of woman, he Jiang Xu would never treat her as a mother-in-law.
Jiang Xu's attitude made Shen Yin even more unhappy.
Especially Jiang Xu's eyes that ignored her, made an evil fire in her heart can't help but rise, if it weren't for Jiang Xu being a guest invited back by Xu Shengrong, I'm afraid Shen Yin would have been furious at this moment.
"I just called my dad, and he's probably going to be back soon." Xu Xinyan also ignored Shen Yin, and after talking to Jiang Xu again. Then I walked towards the kitchen.
And she had just walked into the kitchen when the sound of a car was heard outside the villa. And stopped outside Building No. 1, it should be Xu Shengrong who came back.
Sure enough, just a moment later, Xu Shengrong's tall background had already appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Jiang Xu, you're here."
Xu Shengrong's gaze naturally fell on Jiang Xu's body, and a faint smile appeared on his calm and solemn face.
Jiang Xu also stood up and said hello to Xu Shengrong, after all, Xu Shengrong is an elder, Xu Xinyan's father, and a member of the party, some etiquette must be paid attention to.
Xu Shengrong didn't say anything, but walked directly upstairs.
Seeing Xu Shengrong go upstairs, Shen Yin glanced at Jiang Xu coldly, and then got up and followed.
Jiang Xu directly ignored Shen Yin's eyes, for this kind of woman, Jiang Xu didn't have any intention of paying attention to it at all, just treat the other party as an air-like storage zài-
Shen Yin followed Xu Shengrong back upstairs, she helped Xu Shengrong take off the coat on his body, and then brought Xu Shengrong a set of homely clothes with soft materials, put them beside Xu Shengrong, and said: "Shengrong, haven't you already feasted that Jiang Xu at noon, why do you invite him to eat at home at night?" ”
Shen Yin was so unhappy in her heart, so she had to ask Xu Shengrong clearly.
And there is also one, Shen Yin also saw that the relationship between Jiang Xu and Xu Xinyan should be a little different, which naturally made her even more unhappy, plus Xu Shengrong is now inviting Jiang Xu to eat at home, which shows that he has a good impression of Jiang Xu.
In this case, Shen Yin couldn't help but guess whether Xu Shengrong had any intention of making Jiang Xu his quasi-son-in-law.
If this is the case, Shen Yin will definitely collapse.
Hearing this, Xu Shengrong's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked lightly, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Shen Yin didn't see Xu Shengrong's expression change, but said: "I don't think this Jiang Xu is a good thing at all, if you invite him like this, he will definitely think that we regard him as a great benefactor, and he will definitely take advantage of the situation to climb our Xu family." ”
Xu Shengrong's eyes swelled with a thick look of disappointment, and Shen Yin's words even made him feel a little funny.
Climb to Xu's ......
If it were someone else, it might be possible, but Jiang Xu was absolutely impossible, or rather, the Xu family didn't have that qualification at all.
Seeing that Xu Shengrong didn't speak, Shen Yin continued: "Also, do you know what big trouble Jiang Xu has gotten into, I'm afraid the Ye family hates us now, do you really want to offend the Ye family for such a little doctor?" ”
In Shen Yin's eyes, the Ye family is undoubtedly a behemoth, so she directly took out the Ye family against Jiang Xu, wanting to cause some pressure on Xu Shengrong.
At least Shen Yin would never agree to let Jiang Xu and Xu Xinyan walk together.
It's just that. She knew that this matter had to be decided by Xu Shengrong, and Xu Xinyan would not listen to what she said at all.
"What if you offend the Ye family?"
Xu Shengrong's tone. Obviously a little more angry.
Even if he Xu Shengrong is in a position, it is impossible to choose the Ye family, even if the strength of the Ye family is far greater than that of the Xu family, but in Xu Shengrong's opinion, the Ye family does not have the qualifications to let him stand at all.
Being able to get to today's position with his own efforts, Xu Shengrong naturally has a bit of arrogance.
He either doesn't stand, if he stands. It is necessary to choose a truly powerful force, and there is no doubt that the Ye family is definitely not qualified.
Precisely because of this. Shen Yin's stammering with the Ye family made Xu Shengrong very dissatisfied, and Shen Yin's short-sighted gaze also made Xu Shengrong feel deeply disappointed, for the first time. Xu Shengrong regretted his original choice. And it's deep regret.
However, after all, they have been husband and wife for many years, Xu Shengrong forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction and regret in his heart, and then said: "I, Xu Shengrong, am upright and stand straight, even if I offend the Ye family, how can the Ye family tolerate me?" ”
"But ......"
Shen Yin obviously wanted to say something more, but. Xu Shengrong did not give her a chance to continue.
"I know you don't like Jiang Xu, you can not attend dinner in the evening. So be it. Xu Shengrong didn't say anything more, and after changing his clothes, he strode out of the room.
Shen Yin really didn't want to appear at the dinner table at night, but when Xu Shengrong said this sentence, she was a little unacceptable.
This made Shen Yin attribute all the unhappiness and anger to Jiang Xu, and gritted his teeth and said: "Jiang Xu, I can't spare you, with my Shen Yin for a day, you don't want to be with Xu Xinyan, if you want to climb the high branches of my Xu family, it is impossible to ......"
After saying that, Shen Yin walked towards the inner room with hatred-
When Xu Shengrong finished changing his clothes and went downstairs, Xu Xinyan was already ready for dinner.
Xu Xinyan prepared very richly, and showed her good cooking skills to the fullest, and the evening with a full table looked like a specific feeling of color, flavor and taste, which was very attractive.
After Xu Xinyan invited Jiang Xu to sit down, Xu Shengrong smiled and said, "Jiang Xu, you're welcome, just treat it as your own home." ”
"Okay, Secretary Xu." Jiang Xu responded, of course, he didn't plan to be polite.
"Jiang Xu, this is home, don't be too formal, just call me uncle," Xu Shengrong smiled slightly.
"Uncle."
Jiang Xu changed his name very simply, he is calling uncle now, and it is very likely that he will become his father-in-law in the future.
Feeling the obviously harmonious relationship between her father and Jiang Xu, Xu Xinyan's heart was also very happy, and she could see that her father had a very good impression of Jiang Xu, which also meant that the relationship between her and Jiang Xu should be approved by her father.
Undoubtedly, this was just a slightly more sumptuous dinner, and unlike the banquet in between, the evening dinner was noticeably more casual.
Xu Shengrong didn't mention anything about the matter between Jiang Xu and Ye Fusen, but just talked about some relatively light topics with Jiang Xu, and occasionally, Xu Shengrong also mentioned Jiang Xu's father, but he gave a very high affirmation between his words.
In fact, Jiang Qiming's recent work has been very good, and Xu Shengrong's must not be because of Jiang Xu.
After Jiang Qiming was promoted to mayor, he made great contributions and impetus to the development of Hu'an City, the huge investment of the Ye consortium, and the rise of Jincheng Pharmaceutical, a new star enterprise, etc., these are all rich achievements.
In particular, the development and development of the new industrial park has directly raised the industrial level of Hu'an City to a new level, and Jiang Qiming's investment promotion is also very good, which also makes Xu Shengrong extremely sure of Jiang Qiming's ability.
Regarding Xu Shengrong's statement, Jiang Xu is still very happy to see it.
Although Xu Shengrong didn't say much, Jiang Xu knew that his father was basically on Xu Shengrong's side, as long as his father made some political achievements, the next step of promotion would definitely not be too long.
With my father's current situation, the next step of promotion can at least directly enter the team of the Ningcheng City Government.
And dinner. It also ended in a very relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
Jiang Xu didn't stay much in Building No. 1, and after bidding farewell, Xu Shengrong asked Xu Xinyan to send Jiang Xu back to the hotel.
Although at the dinner table, Xu Shengrong did not say anything. But Jiang Xu knew that this dinner was of great significance.
If he didn't guess wrong, Xu Shengrong probably wanted to take sides.
Jiang Xu has already had an understanding of the pattern of central Fujian Province, and Xu Shengrong, the big boss of central Fujian Province, Jiang Xu naturally can't help but study it.
In Minzhong Province, the secret competition between factions is still quite fierce.
Liu Zhenfeng is a member of the Liu family. is also the third person in Minzhong Province, and Li Sichen's father is a member of the Su family's faction, and the Li family is the same as the Ye family. They are all factions of the Su family.
And Xu Shengrong, the number one person in central Fujian Province, maintains a neutral attitude with any faction.
It is precisely because of Xu Shengrong's attitude that although the factional competition in central Fujian Province is fierce, it is not superficial. It's just a battle between the second-in-command and the third-in-command. However, no one can get the absolute right to speak in Minzhong Province.
However, if Xu Shengrong wants to go further, it is impossible to maintain a neutral attitude, he can only get enough support if he makes a choice, otherwise he may only be in this position for the rest of his life.
With characters like Xu Shengrong, Jiang Xu didn't believe that he still couldn't see the relationship between himself and the Liu family.
If Jiang Xu didn't guess wrong, Xu Shengrong should have made a good choice. And the object he chose is very likely to be the Liu family.
Xu Shengrong didn't say anything at night. The most important reason is probably that he has not really determined his relationship with the Liu family, but it doesn't matter, because Xu Shengrong should know it in the evening.
Because after Xu Xinyan goes back in the evening, basically Xu Shengrong will get the answer he wants.
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Jiang Xu told Xu Xinyan about his relationship with the Liu family, this qiē was not deliberately arranged by Jiang Xu, but a qiē was a matter of course, and it was already going in the direction that Jiang Xu was most happy to see.
As long as Xu Shengrong chooses to stand on the side of the Liu family, coupled with Liu Zhenfeng's deposit, then Minzhong Province is equivalent to falling directly into the bag of the Liu family, and in Minzhong Province, the Liu family has the absolute right to speak.
This, presumably Mr. Liu and Liu Lingqing are very happy to see, and they have undoubtedly become a bridge between Xu Shengrong and the Liu family.
After Xu Xinyan sent Jiang Xu to the hotel, she left quickly, the ambiguity of the morning made Xu Xinyan extremely nervous until now, and it was night again, Xu Xinyan didn't dare to be alone in the hotel with Jiang Xu.
Although her heart has been given to Jiang Xu, after all, the time between the two of them is too short, and in this regard, Xu Xinyan is not mentally prepared enough for the time being.
Jiang Xu didn't keep it, because he knew that Xu Shengrong was probably already waiting for Xu Xinyan to go back at the moment.
In fact, Jiang Xu's prediction was not wrong.
Xu Xinyan returned home and was directly called to the study by Xu Shengrong.
"Dad, are you looking for me, do you want to ask me about Jiang Xu?" Xu Xinyan is not stupid, she has already guessed her father's purpose.
"Xinyan, how much do you know?"
Between Xu Shengrong's tone, there was obviously a little more expectation.
Xu Xinyan thought for a while and said, "Dad, before you called me in the afternoon, Jiang Xu happened to receive a phone call, do you know who called Jiang Xu?" ”
"Who is it?" Xu Shengrong asked with some curiosity.
"Old man Liu......" Xu Xinyan directly said the answer, she knew that her answer could basically explain many things.
"What!."
Although it had long been expected that Jiang Xu might have some relationship with the Liu family, when she heard Xu Xinyan say that Old Man Liu actually called Jiang Xu personally, even a figure like Xu Shengrong couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.
At this moment, Xu Shengrong already had a hunch, I am afraid, he also underestimated the relationship between Jiang Xu and the Liu family.
Xu Xinyan then asked, "Dad, do you know what Old Man Liu said to Jiang Xu?" ”
Xu Shengrong didn't speak, but looked at his daughter, waiting for her daughter to continue.
Xu Xinyan naturally didn't keep anything, and directly told Xu Shengrong about the conversation she heard on the phone.
After listening to what Xu Xinyan said, Xu Shengrong's eyes were already full of shock.
At this moment, he finally understood why Jiang Xu was so confident when he faced the Ye family.
Although the conversation between Liu Lao and Jiang Xu was very short, there was a lot of information revealed in it, and many of it were even unknown to Xu Xinyan, but in Liu Shengrong's ears, the meaning was extraordinary.
A determined look flashed from Xu Shengrong's deep eyes.
At this moment, Xu Shengrong has already made a decision.
He knew that there was a great opportunity in front of him, and this opportunity could be a little bit of a surprise, so he had to seize it.
As long as he grasps this opportunity, then his career will be extremely bright.
With his current age, he not only has the opportunity to go further, but even has the opportunity to take two or three steps forward, as long as Liu Jiaken supports him, then he even has the opportunity to win the ranks of giants.
And Xu Shengrong knew that the key to this qiē was all on Jiang Xu.
There is still a lack of a bridge between him and the Liu family, and Jiang Xu will definitely be the most suitable bridge, and the opportunity to pass the bridge has been fully opened, and the next thing he needs to do is how to contact the Liu family. (To be continued......)
