Chapter 370: Chairman's Wife
"Is Old Man Shen up?" There was a crunch sound outside the door. When Shen Yiyi hurriedly got up to check, he found a group of women in their thirties walking in accompanied by an elderly woman who was a little inconvenient to move.
Shen Yiyi immediately discovered the identity of this woman. This is the general secretary's lover, Ms. Wang. In American terms, belong to China's current first lady! Although in terms of beauty and fashion, it is obvious that this lady cannot be compared with the United States, but when she thinks that she is born as a girl studying engineering like herself, Shen Yiyi has a natural recognition of others. However, when she saw each other, she also had a sense of intimacy in her heart.
No matter how many trolls on the Internet have tried their best to spit out and slander our general secretary, in Shen Yiyi's opinion, this leader is quite a great leader. In the aftermath of the political turmoil of 1989, all the Western capitalist countries imposed so-called sanctions and embargoes on our socialist China, and after the economic problems of the entire eighties erupted in 1989, it can almost be said that the national economy was on the verge of collapse. The capitalist world's natural hostility towards the socialist camp makes them see this as an excellent opportunity to attack China, so that China can henceforth be at their disposal, and figure out how to exert pressure on China to become a pawn in their hands. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union, which could have made the number one capitalist power a mouse, fell at that time, and all the focus of hostility turned to China.
It is more appropriate to describe China at this time as "internal and external difficulties". But I have to say that the vision of our chief designer is really poisonous. He put the then inconspicuous general secretary in the position of national leader and gave him firm support. And the general secretary also handed over an excellent answer sheet with his own actions. With the vision of a strategist and the ability to deal with complicated political relations, he led China out of the almost insoluble predicament at that time, and made China's national strength grow significantly in that era.
Shen Yiyi thought that there was a Taiwanese origin at that time. The guy who works as a lawyer in the United States has attended one so-called study group after another on China in this wave, and then he has vigorously promoted his so-called book, advocating that "China is about to collapse." Such an argument made that Taiwan leader Li Moumou happy when he saw the hunt and praised it greatly. But our leaders use his work. A resounding slap in the face to the guy who advocates China's collapse.
More importantly, because of the friendly cooperation experience between the two in Shanghai, when his deputy when he worked in Shanghai was also promoted to Beijing to be in charge of the economy, he coordinated the relationship between the later iron-fisted premier's overly sharp personality and other old comrades, and cleverly arranged to ensure that most of the economic policies during his tenure could be implemented according to the policies of the iron-fisted premier, and at the same time maintain the political situation in the economic take-off stage. Shen Yiyi felt that no matter what others thought, she felt that for such a political figure, it was not wrong to say that he was a "great political person".
Another reason why Shen Yiyi has a good impression of him is. During his tenure, the development of China's military industry, which had been stagnant in the eighties, began to take a new turn. A considerable number of Dinghaishen needles, which later became China's national defense equipment, were launched when he was in office. This made Shen Yiyi, an engineering girl who had been in the mouth of the defense industry in her previous life, quite concerned. Because of those projects, Shen Yiyi will be able to get some more money when he receives the bonus at the end of the year! Of course, being able to invest money in the research and development of weapons that burns the most money shows that under his leadership, China's economy has made great improvements, and only then will there be money to invest in national defense construction.
Shen Yiyi knew that when he stepped down and handed over the shift. China's economy ranks among the top seven in the world, and its economy is growing. While the people get benefits, the housing prices are not as alarmingly high as in later generations, so that the people say they can't afford it. On the contrary, even in a metropolis like Shanghai, in order to stimulate the development of the property market, it must sacrifice such a trick as "buying a house and getting a hukou". This illustrates. The economic development of this period did not need to rely on such things as real estate at all, which shows how healthy the economic development was at this time.
Because Shen Yiyi knew this leader and spoke highly of him in his heart, he also felt cordial to his wife. This lady and her husband can be described as pro-plum sweethearts. Although the image is not comparable to that of movie actors, it is in the eyes of Shen Yiyi. It is also the image of the kind grandmother in the neighbor's house, which can be described as very amiable. Just like now, although she is surrounded by a group of women cadres from all walks of life, her eyes when she looks at Shen Yiyi also reveal a kind light.
Shen Yiyi hurriedly stepped forward to greet the guests: "Ah, it turned out to be Grandma Wang." My grandfather was still on his lunch break and didn't get up. β
Grandma Wang was very happy to see Shen Yiyi walking up to her. She didn't speak quickly, but obviously with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent, and said to Shen Yiyi: "It's okay to rest, just let him continue to sleep." Actually, I came here today, on the one hand, to find him, and on the other hand, to find you. β
Shen Yiyi's eyes widened one by one: "Looking for me?" No way? After speaking, he felt that his reaction was a little big, so he softened his voice again, and said with a smile, "What's the matter with me?" β
When Mrs. Wang heard Shen Yiyi say this, she was a little strange and a little surprised. Because the sentence asked by Shen Yiyi later was obviously Shanghainese.
Mrs. Wang and her husband have lived in Shanghai for a long time. When he was young, he worked in Shanghai, and later lived with her husband in various parts of the country. But if it weren't for the sudden change in life brought about by the later political turmoil, she would have been retiring in Shanghai with her husband. For six years, she returned to the place where she lived in her youth, and it was also the place that gave her the most memories, and in those memories, there were more good memories.
Originally, she thought she was going to die in Shanghai. Because after her husband was ready to retire as secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, he went to teach at Jiao Tong University. Even some of the work arrangements have been planned. It was only because of a phone call that she could only live in Beijing with her husband. Life in the north is not very accustomed to such a woman who was born in Jiangnan, grew up in Jiangnan, and has spent most of her life in Jiangnan. And the pressure exerted on her by others for standing by her husband's side for her bad behavior, both openly and secretly, is also amazing. Countless times in her dreams, she misses her life in Shanghai.
Now, hearing the obvious and "authentic" Shanghainese spoken by Shen Yiyi, she can't help but feel very cordial. Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Shen Yiyi's hand at once, and spoke to her more politely.
"Yo, the little girl speaks Shanghainese very well. Your dad is not from Shanghainese, how can you speak Shanghainese? "Before she came, her secretary had prepared materials for her. She remembered that Shen Yiyi's father had been working in the northeast and was then transferred to the Beijing Military Region.
"My dad isn't from Shanghai, but my mom is. I've lived with my mom in Shanghai for more than 10 years. Shen Yiyi recounted the life experience of this body in this life to the "First Lady".
"Oh, I see." Ms. Wang took Shen Yiyi's hand and sat down to the side. In the small building arranged by the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee for each big leader, in addition to the bedroom where he sleeps, there is also a large living room, and there will be no shortage of Taishi chairs in it. However, because of her identity, or because she was purely an engineering woman engaged in technology before, she didn't study any poor etiquette thoroughly, so she naturally came to the living room where Shen Haijiang stayed, and regarded it as the living room of her own home, and talked to Shen Yiyi in the living room.
"Yiyi, I'll call you that." Ms. Wang still asked Shen Yiyi very politely. It is this question that makes the eyes of these female cadres who are still with her red with envy. This is the general secretary's wife. Such a name that obviously seems very close shows that people want to treat you as their own in their hearts. Who wouldn't want such treatment?
Shen Yiyi is not hypocritical. Her current status allows her to do a lot of things while trying to fit her age to be naΓ―ve enough. So she said very generously, "Yes." My grandpa and grandma called me that. That's why Grandma Wang, you can call me that. β
Ms. Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Yiyi, I came today to lend you to me from your grandfather for a few days." β
Shen Yiyi was really surprised this time: "Borrow me for a few days?" What does this mean? She thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Grandma Wang, did you want me to do anything when you said you wanted to borrow me?" β
Ms. Wang did not answer directly, but looked at a female cadre wearing glasses in front of her. That cadre has a "revolutionary head" with green soup noodles, which is very similar to the face of a traditional female cadre in my country.
The female cadre said to Shen Yiyi a little sternly: "Shen Yiyi, that's the case, the chairman's wife needs to meet some people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, mainly the family members of some business and political figures. Originally, I only needed to be accompanied by our people, but I suddenly learned that there is a custom here that when the meeting is held, in addition to the wives of those people, sometimes their children will also attend. In this case, it is not very suitable for us alone, and it is necessary for some young people to be present to be in line with etiquette. And Madame Chairman's mind is of you. (To be continued......)
