Lai Xiaohu rarely contacted Shi Lei after leaving Kansai Province, and he hadn't made a phone call in the recent period, so he naturally didn't know what Shi Lei's difficulties were.

The position left behind after Lai Junchi retired from illness is very important to Shi Lei, which is the biggest fruit of his operation, and it is also a key for him to control the situation in Kansai Province. Shi Lei is naturally cautious about the arrangement of this position, and it is undoubtedly the best situation to hand over this position to a confidant of his own. But in Kansai Province, Shi Lei was unable to realize such an arrangement. Although there are people who have taken refuge in him now, because everyone was afraid of Hong Yunfei's power before, most of the people who took refuge in him were those frustrated people who were not afraid of boiling water. These people have a common characteristic, that is, they feel more or less excluded and depressed in the officialdom. Correspondingly, most of the positions they occupy are also some middle-level positions.

People with too low positions can't get in touch with Shi Lei, and people with higher positions are generally more successful, and they are not willing to easily get involved in the dispute between Shi Lei and Hong Yunfei. Just like the original Tang father, his position is considered very high within Kansai Province, and he directly controls the financial power of a province. However, the former Tang Father belonged to the kind of role that remained strictly neutral within Kansai Province. No matter who fights with whom, he will not get involved lightly.

Father Tang's method has his advantages, and naturally it also has its disadvantages. However, this approach is due to his cautious nature, so it is impossible to make him change easily.

When Shi Lei first came to Kansai Province, he also tried to win over people like Tang's father who were in a high position but remained neutral, but the result was naturally obvious, and there was no success. Each range of potential forces has its own circle, and Father Tang also has his own neutral circle when he remains neutral. Usually, they will strengthen the connection between each other as a group of people who abide by neutrality, and they will communicate privately if the situation changes, and try to keep moving forward and retreating together as much as possible.

In their neutral circle. Father Tang's influence is still very great. He rejected Shi Lei's woo at the beginning, and the other people followed him and rejected Shi Lei's woo at that time.

It can be said that due to the above reasons, Shi Lei is unwilling to let Tang's father take over to Junchi. Although Shi Lei also knew the relationship between Lai Xiaohu and the Tang family, and Lai Xiaohu also told him before he left that if he could take care of the Tang family, he would take care of the Tang family. This Shi Lei can do it, can you help the Tang family if they are in trouble in the future. can now Shi Lei's help to Tang's father, which is definitely more than he planned at the beginning.

However, although he was reluctant, Shi Lei still had to do it in the end. The reason is that Shi Lei is unavailable at the moment, and time waits for no one. In the past, the people who took refuge in Shi Lei were all middle-level cadres. Although he can promote these people, he can't promote them to the position of Junchi, and there is no way to make the gap too big. Now is not ancient times, and a word from the superior can make someone soar. Today, when the promotion of cadres is becoming more and more strict, it is very difficult to skip the promotion level. Not to mention several levels. There is no suitable one in his own people, and there is not much time left for Shi Lei.

After he retired, he left a place that was fragrant. It's not just people in the province who want to do it. Even the outside and even the upper leaders will have ideas. Shi Lei in the province can still be suppressed, but if there is a sudden arrangement for this position from above, then Shi Lei will have to work in vain. Therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, Shi Lei must stand in the vacated position of Junchi in a short period of time, and do not give the above time to reflect.

Under internal and external pressure, Shi Lei had to quickly promote one of those who did not belong to his lineage. In this case, he chose the most and found that Father Tang was the most suitable. First of all, it is naturally the relationship between himself and Lai Xiaohu and Lai Xiaohu and Tang's father. Although Father Tang rejected him before, Lai Xiaohu had not come to Kansai Province at that time, and now it is different from the past. With Lai Xiaohu as the middleman, Shi Lei suddenly found that he and Tang's father could also become close allies. It is impossible to make Father Tang his descendant, but this ally is stunned.

And the neutral force behind Tang's father is also what Shi Lei urgently needs. After all, his strength in Kansai Province is too weak, and he can quickly expand his power in Kansai Province by attracting a group of neutral forces led by Tang's father.

Shi Lei wants to promote Tang's father, although Hong Yunfei is very surprised by this, but since he has promised Shi Lei that he will not interfere in this matter, then he will also keep his promise. So, under Shi Lei's promotion and Hong Yunfei's acquiescence, Tang's father soon achieved a qualitative leap, and his level was directly promoted from the main * hall to the deputy * department, and he also had the right to vote on major affairs in Kansai Province. Father Tang's leap can be regarded as a double jump strictly speaking, so after the results came out, he naturally became the object of many people's compliments, and he also became a pivotal figure in Kansai Province.

Of course, before being promoted, Tang's father was also called by Shi Lei to talk once, and if he was promoted, it must have expressed his support for Shi Lei during the conversation. Taking this step, Father Tang has already given up his neutral attitude, but it is all worth it. In the past, the reason why I was neutral was to protect myself, but now I have more power and can protect my own safety.

For his promotion this time, Father Tang knew that it was thanks to Xiaohu's merits, under normal circumstances, he had rejected Shi Lei before, and Shi Lei would not give him such a good fruit. Needless to say, he also wants to get a lot of Lai Xiaohu's contribution here. So taking advantage of Tang Gaoqiang's visit to Jincheng this time, Tang's father also specially instructed Tang Gaoqiang to express his gratitude to Lai Xiaohu on his behalf.

Lai Xiaohu was very satisfied with Shi Lei's arrangement, and he was also happy that he had one more ally from now on. With his relationship with Tang Gaoqiang, the relationship between himself and Tang's father will not be much worse than the relationship between himself and Li Gan. One Li Qian can help him solve many troubles, and now with a Tang father, Lai Xiaohu is even more confident in the future layout.

"By the way, when are you two getting married?" Then, Lai Xiaohu casually asked Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing. Although Tang Gaoqiang has now lived with Murong Jing, and the two often call themselves husband and wife outside, in fact, the two are not married yet. It has been a year since Tang Gaoqiang graduated, and it is actually normal that he is not married. And he and Murong Jing have known each other for a long time. However, the two of them came together after their respective graduations. After graduation, the marriage of the two was placed in front of their parents and became the top priority in the family. The two families have been friends for a long time, and the family environment is similar, and the old people of the two families slowly have the idea of promoting the two. So, in this case, Tang Gaoqiang directly confessed to Murong Jing, because the two of them had been interested in each other before.

After the two confessed, they informed each other's parents. Needless to say, the parents of the two families were very supportive of this, and the two families immediately went out for a meal together and the marriage of the two was engaged. After that, everything went naturally, and with the support of his family, Tang Gaoqiang bought a house outside. Then he lived with Murong Jing. Although the two are not married, in fact, the two have already regarded themselves as husband and wife.

"This," Tang Gaoqiang was a little embarrassed when he said this, but he still said it honestly. "My parents want to get married before this year, and the two of us don't have any opinions. So if nothing else, it should be December or January. ”

"Okay." Hear the words. Lai Xiaohu patted Tang Gaoqiang and said, "Remember to call me then." ”

"That's right," Lai Xiaohu finished asking himself, and Tang Gaoqiang also asked Lai Xiaohu by the way, "When will you and Yaqiao get married?" It's really not a short time for the two of you to be together. ”

Isn't it, Lai Xiaohu and Song Yaqiao have really been together for a long time, at least two years together in the three years of college. And now it has been nearly two years, and almost four years is indeed not a short time.

But is it married, Lai Xiaohu really doesn't dare to mention this question, what should Zhang Ying do if he marries Song Yaqiao? And Lai Xiaohu didn't dare to forget that he still had a debt in the United States. It is important to know that it is neither China nor the United States. Bigamy is a crime. And Lai Xiaohu is reluctant to abandon any of them, so marriage is really not something that Lai Xiaohu can afford to talk about now.

"This, you also know that I am going to college again now, so if I want to get married, I can only wait a few more years." In the end, Lai Xiaohu could only fool Tang Gaoqiang like this. Later, he cast an embarrassed look at Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao.

In fact, Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao also wanted to know what Lu Dao had about marriage Lai Xiaohu, but since Lai Xiaohu was reluctant to say it, the two of them helped Lai Xiaohu fool it very interestingly, and after Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, Zhang Ying took the opportunity to lead the topic to other things.

From seven o'clock after eating to half past nine in the evening, it took more than two hours for Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, who had eaten to hold on, almost digested. It was time to prepare to rest at this time, so Lai Xiaohu took the opportunity to take them to the hotel.

Although he really wanted to keep Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing here, Lai Xiaohu's family really couldn't live there. You can't let Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang have one bed, and then let three girls squeeze into one bed.

Staying in a hotel, Tang Gaoqiang had no opinion on this, and Murong Jing had no opinion on this, and quickly followed Lai Xiaohu outside the hotel with his luggage.

After getting out of the car, looking at the appearance of this hotel, Tang Gaoqiang was very satisfied, "Not bad, Xiaohu, this hotel has to be five-star, right?" ”

"It's okay, I heard that this is one of the most famous hotels in Jincheng, and it happens to be close to me, so I decided on this hotel."

The front desk in the hotel is naturally no stranger to Lai Xiaohu, a big customer, and it is rare for people to be able to book dozens of rooms in this kind of five-star hotel in one go. So after seeing Lai Xiaohu coming with a man and a woman, the people at the front desk hurriedly greeted Lai Xiaohu.

After helping Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing go through the check-in procedures, Lai Xiaohu took them to the elevator, and after arriving in the room, Tang Gaoqiang looked at the more luxurious decorations inside, and said happily: "Five stars are five stars, even I am the first time to stay in such a good hotel." ”

After chatting with the two of them in the room for a while, Lai Xiaohu took his leave. It's already ten o'clock in the evening, and if you don't leave, it will delay the intimacy of the young couple.

After Lai Xiaohu went back, Zhang Ying and Murong Jing had not rested, and when they saw Lai Xiaohu come back, the three of them talked together again.

"By the way, do I need to be with you all the time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" Taking the opportunity, Song Yaqiao asked Lai Xiaohu. This time, it was decided to let Song Yaqiao participate in the party as the hostess, so Song Yaqiao asked this question.

"Not for now." After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu said to her: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can go to work normally, you just need to come out to meet everyone at night." ”

"Okay then." In this regard, Song Yaqiao nodded and said.

At eleven o'clock. The three of them saw that it was not too early, and they also began to rest. It happened to be Lai Xiaohu's turn to be with Song Yaqiao tonight. Zhang Ying was the first to take a bath, and then left the space for the two of them.

Lai Xiaohu and Song Yaqiao rinsed together and then rolled onto the bed, and after the passion, lying on Lai Xiaohu's suspicion, Song Yaqiao suddenly asked: "Xiaohu, let me ask you a question, don't be angry." ”

"Just ask any questions, when have I ever been angry about this?" Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu said funny.

"Then let me ask you what you thought in your heart tonight when Xiaoqiang asked you when you planned to marry me?" After speaking. Song Yaqiao looked at Lai Xiaohu nervously.

"That's what you say." Lai Xiaohu didn't expect Song Yaqiao to ask this question, he was a little stunned when he heard this, and stared at Song Yaqiao for more than ten seconds before he said leisurely: "To be honest, if you don't ask for it, I want to keep it like this." None of you are my favorite, and I don't want to do anything to abandon one for the sake of another. But if you all want a name. Then I will immigrate to a polygamous country, as long as you do not object. I will marry you all. ”

"How. Are you satisfied with this result? After speaking, the contact looked at Song Yaqiao and asked.

And Song Yaqiao suddenly sat up and said to Lai Xiaohu: "Don't worry, I'll ask." After that, he hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to Zhang Ying.

ran to Zhang Ying, Song Yaqiao pushed the door, and sure enough, the door was half-hidden. And wait until she gets in. Zhang Ying, who had already been asleep, also sat up suddenly, turned on the light and saw that it was Song Yaqiao, and happily pulled her to her bed.

"How? What did he say? After going up, Zhang Ying hurriedly asked Song Yaqiao.

So Song Yaqiao didn't hide it. Lai Xiaohu's words were all said word for word, "Sister Ying, what do you think?" ”

What exactly was said between Song Yaqiao and Zhang Ying Lai Xiaohu had no way of knowing, but when he saw that Song Yaqiao finally came back after going for almost half an hour, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the other party, "What did you say?" ”

"I won't tell you." Song Yaqiao raised her head and said with a pout. Then pulled the quilt open, Song Yaqiao got into it and closed her eyes and went to sleep.

I had the heart to ask clearly, but looking at Song Yaqiao's appearance, I didn't plan to say it, and Lai Xiaohu had no choice but to muttered in my heart and lay down on the side to sleep.

The next day, Lai Xiaohu and the others got up early as usual to work, and after getting up, Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao went to cook, while Lai Xiaohu called Tang Gaoqiang while washing, "How is it, have you two gotten up?" ”

Tang Gaoqiang on the other end of the phone opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the caller ID, and said, "Get up immediately." Hung up the phone, woke up Murong Jing, who was still asleep next to him, and the two of them quickly washed up.

More than 20 minutes later, Lai Xiaohu drove to the hotel on time, made another call to Tang Gaoqiang, and learned that Murong Jing was still washing, so Lai Xiaohu sat in the lobby of the hotel and played with his mobile phone. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the two of them walked down with a small bag.

"Xiaohu, wait a minute." As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Tang Gaoqiang saw Lai Xiaohu who was bored playing with his mobile phone in the hall.

"It's okay, I just waited two minutes, and I haven't finished the game yet." Turning off the phone, Lai Xiaohu said.

"Let's go, go back to breakfast. And didn't you say you were going to check out my supermarket, and we'll go after breakfast. Beckoning the two to get into the car, Lai Xiaohu rushed home.

When they came back, Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao had already made breakfast and waited for a long time, and when they saw the three of them coming back, they hurriedly greeted them for breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhang Ying drove with Song Yaqiao, while Lai Xiaohu drove with Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, and a group of five people rushed towards the company. However, after waiting outside the company building, Zhang Ying and Song Yaqiao went up directly, while Lai Xiaohu turned around and went to the nearest branch here.

People who really live at home generally go to the vegetable market very early in the morning, because the earlier they go, the fresher the vegetables they buy, and the later they go, they can only pick the leftover vegetables from others.

When they came, like Lai Xiaohu, it was when there were many people who came to buy vegetables in the morning, and when they arrived outside the nearest Carlejia supermarket, after getting off the car, the three of them saw that there was still a long queue at the door.

"So many people?" Seeing the long queue outside, Tang Gaoqiang couldn't help but exclaim to Lai Xiaohu, "No wonder you make so much money, just rush to this flow of people, and you have to make a fortune selling anything." ”

After that, he followed Lai Xiaohu to the store, and the first thing Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing saw was a room full of figures. At this time, it goes without saying that the Roca supermarket is crowded with people. Several waiters, including the store manager, were all busy, and even if Lai Xiaohu, the big boss, came in, no one even noticed. (To be continued......)
