Old man Shang was ninety-six years old, and the originally quiet courtyard of the Gao family was blazing

All the elders of our party uphold the chairman's teachings and do not live long. Even if it is a whole birthday, there is no big feast, just invite relatives and children to gather together, everyone talk, and the excitement is over.

If it was in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it would not even be silent at all. Make a bowl of noodles and eat it, it's a birthday celebration.

Although the Gao family is not the most powerful wealthy family, it is now one of the "oldest history" wealthy families. After all, there are not many veterans like Old Man Gao who are still alive. can be compared with it, there are only a few people such as Old Man He and Old Man Wu. And generally speaking, He Lao Wulao's influence is mainly in the military circles. The influence of politics is not as good as that of Gao Lao.

Every year, these fathers celebrate their birthdays or festivals. Both Taishang and today are going to come to visit in person.

On this year's birthday, although it is not an exception, the ancient courtyard house has been cleaned and some small ornaments have been replaced, which looks quite festive.

Ninety-six years old, wherever you put it, you will live a long life. To put it mildly, this birthday has passed this year, and I don't know if there will be a coming year. Naturally, we can't be sloppy.

The Gao family is a wealthy family, and if it is not restricted, just people who are related to each other may have to come to hundreds of "courtyards, such as how it can't be arranged." Therefore, the old Gao family sent a notice early, for some relatives who are far away, politely declined them to come over to celebrate their birthday, only saying that the old man is old and impatient, please forgive me.

Those who can appear in the courtyard of the Gao family today are all close relatives, or the backbone of the Gao family.

Gao Jingzhang and Gao Jinghan brothers accompany guests in the living room. Gao Changhong led Gao Jianhong and other younger generations to greet guests at the door. Near noon, most of the guests who should have come have arrived. Even from the time of coming to celebrate the birthday, you can also see some of the intimacy of the relationship. All the close relatives of the Gao family arrived early in the morning. An important figure among the relatives came late. The main cadres of the high-level department who are not related to each other usually arrive after 10 o'clock.

Gao Jianghong stood for a morning, bowing and talking to the visitors, tired enough. Although the second year of high school is only in his thirties and less than forty years old, his body bones have already been hollowed out by wine, and the weather is hot, so he can't resist it.

"Brother, it's almost time, I think it's basically here."

The sophomore said with a smile. The meaning of this is to say, this errand of welcoming guests. Can you hand it over? With such a big scene, Gao Ershao also knew that he couldn't get on the stage, so the requirements were not high, he just wanted to quickly find a place to sit down, drink saliva, smoke a cigarette, and that's it. As for socializing with high-ranking officials, the fight of Yunshan Mist Cover is naturally a matter of the old man, the second uncle and the eldest brother, and it has nothing to do with the second year of high school.

According to the usual practice, Taishang and Jinjin will not show up at this time, and they will not come over until the afternoon, when most of the guests have dispersed.

Gao Changhong meditated in his heart for a while, and felt that it was almost over, and was about to speak, when another guest came in at the door.

Meet this one. Gao Jianghong was taken aback, Gao Changhong had already hurried up to greet him, bowed and greeted: "Hello, Vice Chairman!" ”

It was one of the giants, Jing Qiuren, who was in the high position of vice chairman. Jing Qiuren is now leading the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee and concurrently serving as the president of the Central Party School, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the Gao Changhong brothers never expected him to come to this birthday banquet.

Jing Qiuren smiled and shook hands with Gao Changhong: "Changhong, hello!" ”

"Vice Chairman Lao Jing came in person, but I don't dare to do it. The humble house is full of brilliance. ”

Gao Changhong was very respectful, and his words were even more cautious. If it is a secret room conversation, the relationship between the two parties is close, and the word "vice" will naturally be omitted. However, on such occasions, it must not be called wrong.

"Hehe, the old man is highly respected, we are the younger generations, and we deserve to come to celebrate our birthday."

Jing Qiuren said with a smile.

In the past, on the birthday of the elder Gao, Jing Qiuren came. However, in his capacity as deputy director of the Central Office, he came to congratulate the birthday of the No. 1 chief at that time. Since Jing Qiuren was promoted to head of the Central Organization Committee, he has never "represented" anyone. In general, it is also a self-respecting identity and does not travel easily. This is especially true after becoming a giant.

This time, he suddenly came to congratulate Elder Gao on his birthday, which was really unexpected.

Gao Changhong didn't dare to slack off, and personally led him to the living room. Gao Jingzhang, Gao Jinghan brothers, and the senior members of the Gao Department all came out when they heard the news, greeted Jing Qiuren, and laughed constantly.

There is no doubt that Jing Qiuren's trip is not just as simple as celebrating his birthday. Maybe. Jing Qiuren wanted to use this to show some kind of closeness. Gao Jingzhang Gao Jinghan was unusually polite on his face, but he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

Regarding the large-scale collision between the Yanliu system and the Mingzhu system, the attitude of the Gao system has always been relatively clear, that is, it is strictly about the central or local government, and the influence of the major political groups is intertwined. The difficulty is as high as the outline book, and Liu Feipeng and Liu Jun joined forces to squeeze out the province. Rao is like this, and the Gao Department still maintained restraint, and did not immediately return a tooth for a tooth, but waited for an opportunity. The strategy of the Gao system is to never take the initiative to provoke the Mingzhu system or the Yan Liu system, and only react when it is attacked.

It's not that the high department is mild-mannered, and there is no such thing in the political struggle. The Gao system's response was also a decision made after carefully weighing the pros and cons. The Mingzhu and Yan Liu factions were not decided, and they rashly joined the war group, no matter which side they moved to, they were not sure of victory. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Yan Liu system is slightly weaker, after all, the Yan Liu system is an emerging group, and Chairman Li Zhiguo has a peaceful personality. And the pearl system is strong and strong. It is not a good idea for the Gao family to choose an alliance with the Yan Liu system to fight against the Pearl system.

But if it is combined with the pearl system to suppress the Yan willow system, it may not be the best choice.

Gao Jingzhang did not have the habit of attaching it to the tail of the flag.

Obviously, he is moving closer to the pearl system, and he can only occupy a subordinate position, and even if he wins, the income is limited.

Therefore, for Jing Qiuren's sudden birthday celebration, the high-ranking boss is very cautious.

Of course, there must be no loss in the etiquette on the surface. After the greetings, Gao Jingzhang personally accompanied the two giants, and the group surrounded the two giants. Go to the living room and say hello to the old man Gao who is sitting on the Taishi chair. Then the guests and hosts sat down, chatted and talked, and the atmosphere was warm.

"Brother, why is he here?"

Gao Jianhong wiped his sweat and asked in surprise.

After Gao Changhong welcomed Jing Qiuren into the living room, he continued to go back outside to do his "own job" Since Jing Qiuren arrived unexpectedly, maybe there would be other unexpected guests who would also appear, but he couldn't be lazy.

Seeing that Gao Hehong asked "rudely", Gao Changhong glanced at him very dissatisfied, and said unhappily: "Be careful when you speak." ”

The sophomore shrunk his neck and said nothing.

really let Gao Changhong guess correctly, and soon another unexpected guest came. Once again, Gao Jianhong was stunned and speechless. If Jing Qiuren came to celebrate his birthday, it can still make people scratch their heads a little. The appearance of this one. In the second year of high school, it really makes no sense!

The guest who appeared at the door of the courtyard was tall, young and handsome, and it was the provincial governor Liu Jun.

Gao Changhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he strode up, bowed slightly, and greeted with a smile: "Governor Liu, hello." ”

"Hello Governor Gao!"

Liu Jun stretched out his hand, shook Gao Changhong tightly, and said politely.

"Governor Liu is so polite. On behalf of my grandfather, father, and uncle, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Governor Liu. ”

Liu Jun smiled and said: "The old revolutionary father, the pillar of the country, we are the younger generations, and we admire it very much. ”

Gao Changhong bowed slightly again and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Governor Liu!" Governor Liu, inside please! ”

"Thank you, Governor Gao." Liu Jun smiled and nodded, walked inward, and did not forget to call the sophomore. Greet: "Mr. Gao, hello!" ”

"Hey," Okay, Governor Liu! Governor Liu, please come in! ”

For a while, the sophomore was a little flustered, and replied one after another. Originally, the second junior high school was not so indifferent, but Liu Jun came too suddenly, and the second junior was too shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses.

Which one is Liu Jun singing? Since it is a birthday celebration, everyone who comes is a guest, although Liu Jun is young, he is the head of a province. Although Gao Jingzhang did not personally greet him out of the door, Gao Jinghan hurriedly came out of it and greeted Liu Jun with a smile.

"Haha, Governor Liu, what a rare guest. Thank you so much! ”

Gao Jinghan is several years younger than Gao Jingzhang, just in his early sixties this year, he has been working in the national security department for a long time, he looks very good, he looks much younger than his actual age, and he is very shrewd and capable.

Liu Jun bowed slightly to Gao Jinghan and said politely, "Hello Minister Gao." ”

"Okay, Governor Liu, please come in!"

Liu Jun followed behind Gao Jinghan and was accompanied by Gao Changhong. Walk slowly into the living room. The originally lively living room suddenly quieted down, and everyone, including Jing Qiuren and Gao Jingzhang, looked at this "uninvited guest" with a hint of surprise

Liu Jun's appearance here is indeed even more "weird" than Jing Qiuren's visit

If Jing Qiuren's presence obviously has the intention of "unity", then the appearance of Liu Jun is too difficult to take. If Yan Liu's department really wants to extend an olive branch to the Gao department, at least it should be Liu Jincai or Yan Yucheng to come over, so it is possible.

Yoo Jun is not enough for the time being.

For the surprised eyes in the room, Governor Liu didn't seem to see it, and even the two giants who were high above didn't seem to be in Governor Liu's eyes. Liu Jun went straight to Old Man Gao and bowed deeply.

"Elder Gao, I wish you a happy birthday. Fitness! ”

Liu Jun said loudly.
