If you want to say the most common leisure place in Linghe City, it must be the teahouse, it seems that drinking tea and people's lives have been inseparable.

The tea houses in Lingnan also have their own characteristics, there are few tea houses with brick and tile structures, most of them are wooden structures or bamboo buildings, with a little artistic style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so that people can feel the breath of nature.

Sitting by the window, blowing the cool breeze and drinking the elegant tea, I drove away all the tiredness and fatigue of the day.

Sitting in the private room with a steaming white porcelain teacup, the emerald bamboo curtain through the guò window, looking at the scenery outside, Xu Peichun waited patiently for the meeting with Gao Jianbin.

In the stock market battle in Kyoto, the attacking side he led was almost completely wiped out, which can also be said to be the biggest defeat of his life, so he admired this opponent he had never met.

The bamboo curtain of the private room was lifted, and a young man in his thirties appeared in front of him, without the arrogance of a high-spirited young man, nor the triumphant posture of a victor, and the expression on his face was very plain and gentle.

Xu Peichun saw that there were a lot of gray hairs in Gao Jianbin's hair, and he was also very emotional, this is a manifestation of long-term excessive use of the brain. Gao Jianbin was able to change from a peasant's child to today's senior party leader, how much price and hard work he paid, or only he himself understands.

The two did not have a tense confrontation, they shook hands like old friends for many years, and after sitting down, Xu Peichun personally poured tea for Gao Jianbin, and it looked so natural.

Xu Peichun said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Secretary Gao, this Lingnan International Economic and Trade Fair is a great success. Once again, the legendary means of the Hand of God prove your status in Lingnan. And because of this, it has become indestructible. ”

Gao Jianbin also smiled slightly, and said: "This success also has the credit of Comrade Xu Peizhe, although he no longer serves as the mayor of our Linghe City, the promised 1 billion investment project has been completed, and the municipal party committee and municipal government would like to express their heartfelt thanks to him." Xu Shao, how is Brother Ling's injury? Some time ago, it was too busy, and the chief's investigation and research plus the holding of economic and trade fairs. I really don't have time, it's been a little easier these two days, and I'm going to see him in the hospital. ”

Xu Peichun said: "There is Secretary Lao Gao's concern, I am here to express my gratitude for my brother, his injury is slightly better than before, but he can't get out of bed and walk around, the hospital said that he will lie down for at least a month." ”

Gao Jianbin took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Peichun. Then he also ordered one and said, "Xu Shao asked me to meet this time, if you have anything to say, please speak up." ”

Xu Peichun said calmly: "I won't beat around the bush, I invited Secretary Gao to come, mainly because of my brother's injury this time." With Secretary Gao's intelligence, there should be a rough judgment that the Zhao family is now in a hurry to release their daughter on bail pending trial. And the Xu family didn't want the Zhao family to get their wish. The influence of both of us on Lingnan is very small, strictly speaking, the Xu family's advantage is currently greater, and Hou Jun, the vice governor in charge of the public procuratorate and law, is our family's person, but if the matter drags on, the situation will be very unfavorable to the Xu family. ”

Gao Jianbin nodded. said: "I know what you mean, Zhao Donghui will become the governor of Lingnan before the end of the year." From this point on, the comparison between the Xu family and the Zhao family is reversed. ”

Xu Peichun's face was a little gloomy and said: "Secretary Gao, you must have seen my eldest brother's injury, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred nights, don't say that my eldest brother just had a meal with a woman, even if he really did something wrong, he shouldn't have beaten him so badly." What makes our family most angry is that the Zhao family has not given an explanation so far, and the elders of the Zhao family have not even boarded the door of our house, nor have they come to visit my eldest brother, which clearly means that they want to bully no one in the Xu family. ”

Gao Jianbin said lightly: "Zhao Donghui called me before and asked me to release his niece from the city bureau. This sentence is a kind of confidence, a vice governor and secretary of the municipal party committee, actually ignored the instructions of the future governor, which shows that Gao Jianbin is not afraid of colliding with the governor at all.

Xu Peichun said: "I won't tell you, the Zhao family has developed rapidly in recent years because of its prosperity, and several provincial and ministerial-level leaders have appeared in the second generation. Among them, the eldest son, Zhao Donghua, is the most eye-catching, he is an alternate member of the political center, and from this point of view, the Xu family is not as good as the Zhao family. Because the second generation of our family, that is, my father's generation, only came out with a provincial and ministerial-level leader when the change of office. The Zhao family thought that they had surpassed the Xu family, so they broke up the alliance and re-established a new circle with their family as the leader. My eldest brother's affair was just a fuse, and such a move was tantamount to removing even the last fig leaf. ”

Gao Jianbin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "When it comes to the struggle between families, I'm afraid that a vice governor won't play a big role, and your roots are all in the upper echelons." ”

Xu Peichun said: "It is precisely because both families are in Kyoto, so we have to be extra careful when doing things, that is the core of the country, if the war situation between the two sides has attracted the attention of the high-level, the Xu family and the Zhao family have no good fruits to eat, therefore, we can only do a small range of games in the local area." The Xu family's request is very simple, Secretary Gao sends the women of the Zhao family to prison, and we can pay the price you want. ”

Gao Jianbin was silent for a while and said: "Xu Shao, your request is too high, I really can't do anything, and the overall situation in Lingnan does not allow me to do this." Sooner or later, Zhao Donghui and I will have a fierce collision, but I only think about the work aspect, and I will not be involved in the conflicts between the families. Also, the Zhao family and I originally did not interfere with the river water, and sent the bloodline of other people's descendants to prison, which is bound to form a deep hatred. ”

He also said: "You also know that I am a leading cadre who has no foundation and was born in the countryside, and I can't compare with your upright families, so I don't want to get involved in such trouble." Your eldest brother's father-in-law is Zhao Donghua, right? ”

Xu Peichun was not surprised at all by this answer, if it was Gao Jianbin because of such a simple condition. agreed to go down and go against the Zhao family, such a partner is simply stupider than a pig. He absolutely turned around and walked away, not even saying a word of superfluity.

Xu Peichun said: "Secretary Gao, let's open the skylight and speak brightly, I know that you may not be worried about conflicts with the Zhao family, and they both know this." The energy of the Zhang family and the Li family joining forces, the Zhao family will definitely not dare to provoke, plus Vice Premier Jin favors you, and the alternate members of the political center do not pose much threat. ”

Then he said: "From your information. The future achievements will definitely not be as simple as a feudal official. But those who achieve great things must be far-sighted, just like a game on a chessboard, take one step and see three steps. The situation in Lingnan has gradually opened up, and the faction has initially formed a scale, as long as you have enough patience, this will inevitably become the camp of the Gao family's army. But if that's all you have in your layout, then I'll admit you're looking at the wrong person. ”

There was not a trace of fluctuation on Gao Jianbin's face. said: "Xu Shao must have been a very powerful lobbyist in ancient times, and I seem to be a little moved by you now." Although the pie in this painting can't be seen or touched, it's better than nothing, let's talk about the specifics! ”

Xu Peichun said with a smile: "I believe we will find a common language, because you and I are good at seizing every opportunity." Transactions require a reciprocal basis. Although the Xu family seems to outsiders, I dare to say that even among so many families in Kyoto, there will be no more than a slap in the face that truly surpasses our family. ”

Then he said: "My self-confidence or the confidence of the Xu family comes from my grandfather. Before his retirement, he was not only at the top of the core of state power, but also held the post of head of state organization. Secretary Gao. You shouldn't be unfamiliar with the energy of this location, right? In five years, you can fully imagine how much value it has been created, not to mention that my grandfather himself has a lot of old subordinates. ”

Gao Jianbin nodded lightly, unless the brain of a leading cadre is broken, no one does not understand how much energy this first minister has. The State Organization Department, which is the organ that controls the fate of leading cadres at and above the vice-provincial and ministerial levels, is also the most important core department of the Central Committee of the Political Committee, and its power is quite astonishing. The opinion of the head of the organization department has a strong authority over the appointment and dismissal of personnel, so this position is often concurrently held by a member of the political center.

Xu Peichun continued: "At present, there are many leaders in the Central Committee of the Political Committee who have been promoted or helped by my grandfather, and putting the right people in the right positions is a matter within the responsibility of the organization minister, and it does not mean that his old man deliberately went to win the hearts of the Xu family, and if he thought like that, he would belittle the noble sentiments of the leaders of the older generation. Even so, those who have been promoted and whose fate has been changed will definitely be grateful to my grandfather, which is the reason why most of the other families in Kyoto do not dare to confront the Xu family head-on. ”

Gao Jianbin said: "This is also the reason why the Zhao family is willing to marry the Xu family, right?" Xu Peichun said flatly: "What you said is right, it is indeed because of this reason." Secretary Gao, to put it irreverently, I know that you have been an orphan since you were a child, and your uncles and aunts in the family have unfortunately passed away, so you alone don't understand how difficult it is for a big family to continue. ”

Handing Gao Jianbin a cigarette, Xu Peichun said again: "We who seem to be beautiful are fighting for the life of our family all the time. Whether it is my eldest brother pursuing Miss Zhao or the two families forming an alliance, it is for this reason, looking at the struggle between countries from the struggle between families, the reason is the same. ”

Gao Jianbin said: "Xu Shao, I feel that you rarely talk so much to people, living in such an environment, it's very depressing, right?" ”

Xu Peichun looked at him and said: "Your words are very level, if you have a choice, I would rather live in the countryside like you, at least I still have freedom, not a bargaining chip that the family can manipulate." Yes, the family gave me a lot, food and clothing are fine clothes and food, I received the best education, BMW Xiangche red wine beauty, even the senior leaders at the provincial and ministerial level have to give a little face, I don't bully others, even if it's good, no one dares to go against us lightly, to say something unpleasant, that's the privileged class. ”

Then he said: "There is no free lunch in the world, you have to pay if you get it, the family gives you a qiē, you don't belong to yourself, unless you are a person who the family is too lazy to cultivate, otherwise you are facing such treatment as me." I tell others, and with whom? Most people must think I'm fed. Can they understand my desire to breathe free air? ”

Gao Jianbin shouted to the waiter to make a pot of tea again, and said: "Xu Shao, the core of this problem is that the procuratorate and the court are relatively independent systems, especially the procuratorate, the relationship between the superior and the subordinate is the relationship between the leader and the led, and the relationship between the court and the subordinate and the supervised is not the same. It is true that I am the secretary of the municipal party committee, but I also have no ability to directly interfere in the work of the procuratorate and the courts. ”

Xu Peichun said: "This sentence is a fact from the country's regulations. But Zhao Ziqian, the chief procurator of the provincial procuratorate, was dismissed, the old secretary of Lingnan completely withdrew from his leadership position, and the large-scale personnel changes of the Linghe City Procuratorate, you can't deny that it has nothing to do with you, right? It is said that the two systems are highly unified, but Wang Houmin, the president of the Linghe City Court, and Qian Pengyun, the chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, should be members of your faction. Coupled with Chang Haiyu, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the public security and law enforcement system grabbed it, and as long as no one on the network put pressure on it, I felt that it was an easy thing to send that woman to prison. ”

Gao Jianbin did not deny it, and said: "What he said is indeed the truth. But at this time and that time, there is no way to compare the relationship network of the Liang family with the Zhao family, in this matter, even Secretary Fang will not take his position lightly, you can ensure that the Xu family occupies an absolute advantage in these two systems? ”

Xu Peichun's smile was very strange. said: "Secretary Gao may not be clear about the relationship between the two systems. Which family can compare to the Zhang family? As long as Zhang Wenhua comes forward, I dare to pack the ticket, and the Zhao family can only watch and stare at it in a hurry, and there is no way at all. ”

Gao Jianbin was not surprised by his calculations, and said with a smile: "Xu Shao is really exhausted, and every link is seamless, but you also know that I am not a member of the Zhang family, I can only be regarded as a peripheral member of the lineage." Whether the Zhang family will agree to my request is one thing, and whether I want to use this relationship is another, if the price is higher than the return, it is very uneconomical. ”

Xu Peichun said: "Of course I won't do that kind of empty glove white wolf thing, Zhang Wenhua is now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and he still has to go through the provincial governor to reach the position of secretary, if our Xu family can help him shorten this time, do you think it's cost-effective?" ”

Gao Jianbin said quietly: "The secretary of a province is decided by the Standing Committee of the Political Center, and everyone knows what that position means, so you are so sure?" ”

Xu Peichun said: "Zhang Wenhua's political achievements in Nanjiang Province are very outstanding, and he is very capable, and he can promote you from the township leader, which is also a great contribution of him, and the heads of the Standing Committee of the Political Center are still very optimistic about him." It's just that because the work of Nam Giang Province in recent years has not been very ideal, and his way to progress has been blocked, if my grandmother comes forward to find a few leaders, there will be little resistance to this matter. And I know that the secretary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province is about to arrive, and you also know the weight of this position in your heart, you can't run away as a member of the Central Committee steadily, Secretary Gao, is our Xu family's intentions sincere enough? ”

Gao Jianbin's eyes were still so peaceful, and he said: "To be able to pay such a price, the Xu family's attitude of cooperation is very sincere, I have no doubt about this." What Secretary Zhang Wenhua lacks is the opportunity to be promoted, you have such ability but there is no suitable person, such a combination is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, which shows the strategy and wisdom of the Xu family at the helm. I also realized the determination of the Xu family and the Zhao family to fight a big battle, very good, so be it, on behalf of Secretary Zhang Wenhua and the Zhang family, I agree to your request, and this woman's affairs will be done according to what you say. ”

Xu Peichun said: "Secretary Gao did not suffer at all this time, although this woman's reckless behavior did not make too much trouble, but there were also some reports in the online media, which had a certain impact on the image of Linghe City, and also caused a danger to the image of the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." The provincial party committee dismissed the acting mayor who had just taken office for less than a month, and it is estimated that the leaders did not feel comfortable in their hearts, which was tantamount to slapping themselves in the face. ”

He also said: "When you gave the order to arrest that woman, I am afraid that you did not intend to let this matter go lightly, otherwise the city bureau would not be so cooperative with the work of the provincial department, and the procuratorate and the court are also actively preparing the material process for prosecution and trial." However, I see that you do not intend to fight alone, and it seems that you have been waiting for the alliance to appear, and the consequences will be passed on to the partners, and your pressure can be minimized, and I now suspect that you have expected me to come to you. ”

Gao Jianbin said: "Don't think of me so smartly, this is because Xu Shao analyzed things too thoroughly, so I have no other choice, not to mention that I just helped applaud on the side, and there is no big loss." ”

Xu Peichun snorted and said: "If I dare to ignore your resourcefulness, I am afraid that you will be sold and I will help you count the money, many people just take you seriously, and their fate is a little bleak and even miserable." Secretary Gao, don't you want to hear what price I give you? ”

Gao Jianbin took a sip of tea and said: "Since I entered the officialdom, Secretary Zhang Wenhua has the grace of knowing me, and if I can repay him, my wish will be completed, and I will have to go my own way after all." ”
