Chapter 218: The Struggle for Reserve Forces

In the courtyard of the Xiao family in the capital, the old man is old, so he goes to bed very early every day, basically no more than nine o'clock in the evening.

When the time came, the Xiao family understood that they should never disturb the old man's tranquility, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

However, this rule is obviously useless to Xiao Yuhan, it is half past nine at the moment, and she is standing in the old man's room with an angry face.

"Alas...... You're suing for that Liu Siyuan again?" The old man's eyes also revealed a hint of playfulness.

Xiao Yuhan's tone was cold and murderous: "Hmph, it's too much, it's too much!" How can they bully people like that? A small director of the water bureau...... I'm going to kill him, I'm going to let him know I'm good!"

The old man didn't answer him directly, but just asked, "I guess you heard from someone, right?" And not that kid suing you himself?"

Xiao Yuhan was stunned, and said with an unnatural expression: "That's ...... It's normal, I'm not his girlfriend, and he doesn't call me every day...... To be exact, that bastard never contacted me unless he asked me for an errand......"

The old man looked at her and said with a wry smile on his face: "You stupid girl, don't take the initiative to fight for ......"

Xiao Yuhan kicked his foot hard and said, "I don't take the initiative to die!" That guy has no vision...... All right...... I admit that Xinyi is also very good......" Later, she was a little weak, but then said: "Grandpa, you answer my question positively, can you help with this matter?" It's okay if you don't want to help, a director at the department level, I'll clean up with a phone call......"

The old man let out a long sigh and said, "You, you really don't understand officialdom......"

Xiao Yuhan said strangely: "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

The old man said softly: "If it was the girl of the Tianming family standing here, I would definitely not continue to ask, didn't I already remind you just now?"

Xiao Yuhan said with a surprised expression: "What did you remind me?" You didn't say anything, aren't you old and confused, grandpa?"

The old man was almost angry with her, and scolded angrily: "You stupid girl, didn't I remind you, Liu Siyuan didn't take the initiative to complain, why are you in a hurry?" This is called the emperor is not in a hurry eunuch. ”

Xiao Yuhan still looked unconvinced and said, "He...... He had a weak character...... I don't dare to say ...... if I have suffering."

The old man scolded with a smile: "If he is really like this, can you stupid girl take a fancy to him?" You give me a good observation, if Liu Siyuan's kid can't even handle such a little difficulty by himself, how can he be qualified to enter the list of reserve forces that our Xiao family focuses on cultivating. ”

Xiao Yuhan's eyes suddenly widened and asked, "Reserve force?"

The old man nodded and it was time to tell you something, officialdom is ups and downs, and no one can really master a qiē, gain power, lose power, in fact, it is just a thought. The so-called truth that you can't be rich for three generations, you should also understand. Our Xiao family has been passed down to the third generation, and you also know that none of your brothers will be able to take the lead in the future. ”

The old man slowly took out a stack of materials from the drawer, and continued: "So, a few of us old guys have been preparing this list of reserve forces for a long time, and every other session, we will select a few young people under the age of thirty who are directly or indirectly related to our Xiao family with development potential, as a key training reserve force, a total of eight young people have been selected this year......"

Xiao Yuhan was full of curiosity and said, "That Siyuan is also among them?"

The old man nodded and said: "This list is a lot of elders of our Xiao family, it took a year of thinking and observing hundreds of people to come to it, Yuhan, there is a woman among the eight people, it happens to be the ...... you know."

Xiao Yuhan suddenly realized something, covered his mouth and said cautiously: "Fang Xinyi?!"

The old man smiled and said, "Finally, you are not particularly brainless, and let me reveal to you, this list still has a certain ranking, and your Liu Siyuan ranks fourth among the eight people."

Xiao Yuhan sighed and said casually: "Oh, it's all foreign surnames."

The old man nodded and said, "That's true, among the eight people, there is only Xiao Yun surnamed Xiao, which is really unfortunate for our Xiao family."

Xiao Yuhan shrugged indifferently and said: "This is also normal, I don't think the Wu family, the Liang family, and the Song family have any outstanding third generation."

The old man said seriously: "You are right, so these young people with foreign surnames are also very important to us, this list of eight people is just a preliminary list, in the next two or three years, we will carefully arrange some rounds, let them compete one-on-one, to see who can win in a game, only after three rounds of baptism, the winner who defeats all competitors in the end, can get our Xiao family's full cultivation!" That's to prepare for the summit!"

Xiao Yuhan was shocked at this time: "What? Grandpa, do you think you're going to fight StarCraft, and you're still PK?

The old man said very plainly: "If you lose, you will lose, and it is not a life-and-death battle, at most, it is to lose the opportunity for our Xiao family to cultivate with all our might, and even as long as it is good in the future, we will give support to our Xiao family with appropriate support, besides, you don't have to worry too much, in the past few years, only half of the first place in the preliminary proposal has a probability of winning in three rounds of fierce battles, and the fourth may not have no chance, after all, this ranking is subjective and the majority is for reference only."

Xiao Yuhan was still a little nervous and said, "Which competitor will Siyuan meet?"

The old man said with a sigh: "The rules are very simple, one against eight, two against seven, three against six, four against five." Then the winner of a one-on-eight against a four-on-five winner, the winner of a two-team seven against a three-on-six winner, and finally there are two people left to play another game. It's fair, Xiao Yun is ranked sixth, and we won't have any favoritism, so we have to face Xiang Yusheng, who is third, as soon as we come up. ”

Xiao Yuhan said without hesitation: "Xiang Yusheng? I don't like that guy who drags and drops, by the way, you can give me the information of the person who is in fifth place!"

The old man laughed and said, "You stupid girl, don't you want to see the true skills of your sweetheart?" Don't worry, a few of our old guys have analyzed, among the eight people in this session, the gap between the top four and the bottom four is obvious, and your Liu Siyuan will definitely be fine at least in the first round. But after that, it's hard to say......"

The old man paused, and then said: "Yuhan, Lian Weiye, Fang Xinyi, Xiang Yusheng, and Liu Siyuan, who are in the top four in this session, are all very optimistic about these four people, and sooner or later they will all be figures who will dominate the political arena, and you few of you who are in the third generation of the Xiao family must remember not to stiffen the relationship." We won't be willing to really treat them, you can rest assured, after all, officialdom is not a place that pays attention to single-handedness and personal heroes, and it needs to be carried by everyone in a sedan chair, so even if they fail, the Xiao family will be cultivated. ”

Xiao Yuhan was slightly relieved, and then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, this kid is not our Xiao family's descendant, right?" You can say that Xinyi is reasonable, after all, Uncle Xiang is the backbone of our Xiao family. ”

The old man nodded and said: "It's not easy for you to think of this, it's true that as you said, the reason why he was included in the list was as Fang Xinyi's boyfriend, but now it seems that it may not be, if he can really win in the big waves and sands in the next few years, then, just marry you stupid girl to him, then won't it become the Xiao family's lineage?"

Xiao Yuhan was embarrassed and immediately said, "Hey! Grandpa, it's the 21st century, I don't want any political marriage!"

The old man laughed and said, "Oh, I don't want to forget it, anyway, you are not the only girl in our Xiao family...... I'll go back and ask Yuxuan's opinion......"

Xiao Yuhan suddenly became anxious, and said angrily: "Yuxuan is not an adult yet, grandpa, you are really ......"

After a while, suddenly she softened her tone and asked in a very low voice, "Grandpa, what if you say ...... Just what if...... If I marry him, won't he have to fight with anyone? After all, he's your grandson-in-law......"

The old man laughed, and then said: "You, you are really ignorant, man, only in the wind and rain can you grow, only by overcoming thorns and thorns, can you go all the way, how can you be a flower in a greenhouse?" Other than that...... You're probably looking forward to that ...... too."

Xiao Yuhan didn't react for a while, and asked, "What am I expecting?"

The old man smiled meaningfully and said: "Maybe one day, it will be Liu Siyuan's other party's heart, but I haven't seen the competition between husband and wife or lovers for many years......

At this moment, Comrade Liu Siyuan is actually experiencing a 'fierce battle'......

After eating the knife-cut noodles and taking a photo to commemorate the occasion, Liu Siyuan returned to the small room in Ziwei City.

At this moment, he is engaged in a fierce battle with a group of mosquitoes, because the air conditioner is not yet usable, it needs to be installed by professionals, and the sound of the old man's fan is too noisy, and people can't sleep at all after turning it on, Liu Siyuan has no choice but to endure the heat silently.

Even if it's hot, this house doesn't even have a screen, and it suddenly becomes a paradise for mosquitoes, he has eliminated more than a dozen mosquitoes in the past half an hour, but he has also paid the price of more than a dozen large bags......

At this time, the mobile phone rang, reminding him that he still had two routine calls that he hadn't made.

It was Fang Xinyi who called, and she said on the phone: "I thanked Shen Yiyi for you, if it weren't for her this time, we would have really been taken advantage of." What are your plans now?"

Liu Siyuan said indifferently: "I don't have any plans, the matter at the municipal party committee level, it's not my turn to have any plans."

Fang Xinyi affirmed: "Siyuan, you are right, no matter what, Minister Xu has always supported your work......

Liu Siyuan said with a smile: "I understand, not to mention that if you think about it carefully, Minister Xu didn't plan to do anything to me, so he still left room for me." It just so happened that I learned a lot. ”

Fang Xinyi said with a smile: "Yes, the mentality is very good, by the way, Ouyang Qian has made a great contribution this time, I said some good things for her father in front of my father, and my father will support Minister Ouyang to join the Minister of Organization in principle."

Liu Siyuan was a little embarrassed and said, "That's good, by the way, Secretary Xiang didn't say anything about Ouyang Qian's question?"

Fang Xinyi smiled: "Don't worry, he didn't say anything, I admit it, what else can he do?" And he has been paying more and more attention to you recently, and seems to be very optimistic about your future, by the way, he also told me that someone in the Xiao family asked about your situation a while ago. ”

Liu Siyuan was scared when he heard the Xiao family, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Xinyi, can I give you an opinion?"

Fang Xinyi said: "Oh? Just say, why are you so polite......"

Liu Siyuan pondered for a while and said: "Xinyi, I always feel that being with my girlfriend should be a relaxed and pleasant thing, I beg you, don't have anything to do with me in the future, okay?"

After being silent on the other end of the phone for a while, Fang Xinyi hummed and said, "Oh...... That's not right, I just apologize to you."

Liu Siyuan saw that she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, and said softly in his heart: "It's okay not to want it in the future, forget it, don't talk about it, so as not to hurt your feelings."

Fang Xinyi said very obediently, and then said, "By the way, how was your first day of work at the Water Conservancy Bureau?" Is it okay to work and live?"

Liu Siyuan killed another mosquito and looked at the bag full of legs.

Then he said firmly: "Very good, I'm all good!". t
