Next is the family banquet, to say that the big family dinner is inconvenient, the boss of the table, the family members are not as harmonious as ordinary families, there is no estrangement, but each has their own thoughts, the atmosphere is a little dull, but the old man Xiao is very interested, regardless of the opposition of the health care doctor, he made an exception and drank a small glass of liquor, he grimaced at Duan Zetao and said: "Xiao Tao, you have to come to see grandpa often in the future, you are here, grandpa has wine to drink!" They control me all the time, and they are not free at all!"

Duan Zetao was also amused by Xiao Ming's appearance as an old child, his heart was warm, and he suddenly felt that the distance had narrowed a lot, and he hurriedly agreed: "Grandpa, I will definitely come to see you often, but grandpa, you still have to listen to the doctor, drink less, the doctor is the greatest, your body is healthy, those of us who are juniors, will have peace of mind!" ”。

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Okay! Good! Just one cup, not an example! Xiao Min and the others saw that Xiao Ming was so intimate with Duan Zetao, their brows furrowed even tighter, during the banquet Xiao Ming asked about Duan Zetao's situation, Duan Zetao also answered truthfully one by one, everyone was surprised to hear that Duan Zetao became the secretary of the municipal party committee of a county-level city at a young age, Xiao Ming was relieved, and laughed heartily: "Our Xiao family has a thousand-mile horse, another day I will invite my old comrades-in-arms to come, let them all see that our old Xiao family is also talented, and those old immortals are angry!" ”。

Everyone was shocked again, Xiao Ming's old comrades-in-arms were all the fathers of the Republic who once held great power, although they have all retired now, but their influence on the country's political situation is still there, Xiao Ming let Duan Zetao see them, and he has the intention of cultivating Duan Zetao with his own resources, does it mean that the old man wants to support Duan Zetao to be the future successor of the Xiao family? became more and more wary of Duan Zetao in his heart.

Zhang Guihua and Duan Xiaoyan have never seen such a big scene, so they seem a little restrained, fortunately, Xiao Kedi is sitting next to them, accompanying them to cheer for home, so as not to be too embarrassed, this meal is not fun, after eating, Xiao Ming asked Xiao Kedi and Duan Zetao to accompany him to the study to chat.

The Xiao family knows that Old Man Xiao's study is not entered casually, only the core members of the family will be allowed to enter the study, and everyone's gaze at Duan Zetao is complicated, in short, it is indescribable envy, jealousy and hatred......

As soon as he entered the study, Xiao Ming seemed to be a different person, his expression was majestic, his eyes flashed with wisdom, he pointed to the rosewood sofa on the side and said, "Xiao Tao, you sit!" ”。

Duan Zetao sat down on the sofa according to his words, and the conversation with Old Man Xiao was completely different from the conversation with Old Man Li, although both of them were in high positions and pillars of the country, talking to Old Man Li felt like a needle felt, like walking on thin ice, and talking with Old Man Xiao, you could clearly feel the love and care of the elders, of course, there were also elements of consideration in it, but Duan Zetao still seemed very relaxed.

Xiao Ming looked at Duan Zetao, who was sitting there quietly, turned his head and smiled at Xiao Kedi on the side: "You see that this child's sitting posture is very similar to yours, you follow your mother regardless of your appearance and personality, this child looks like you, but the personality is a combination of the character advantages of your mother and me. ”。

Xiao Kedi said with a smile: "Xiao Tao is good, I went to Xinghua this time, it has completely changed a lot compared to the previous few times, and the people also have a high evaluation of Xiao Tao, if they know that this is done by the grandson of General Xiao Da who led everyone to make a revolution back then, I don't know how happy they should be?!" ”。

"Jiangnan Uprising" is Xiao Ming's most glorious achievement in his life, its role in history can be compared with the famous "Nanchang Uprising", it is through this uprising that the fire of the Chinese Revolution can be burned, so Xiao Ming's feelings for Xinghua are also very deep, sighed: "I have seen these from the newspaper, the newspapers call this the "Xinghua miracle", Xiao Tao, you have done a good job, only the officials who can really make the people live a rich life are good officials!" You have made a greater contribution to the people of Xinghua than me! ……”。

Duan Zetao couldn't imagine that Old Man Xiao had such a high evaluation of himself, so he hurriedly said with trepidation: "Grandpa, how can I compare with your old man......".

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Why can't you compare, I see that you are better than me, I heard that you have a very good relationship with the old Zhu family, and the old man of the Li family also wants to recruit you as a grandson-in-law, I tell you that this is not good, how can the grandson of our old Xiao family be a son-in-law of other people's families, it can only be the granddaughter of their old Li family to marry our old Xiao family!" ……”。

Duan Zetao sweated profusely, daring to love Old Man Xiao had already figured out his bottom clearly, Xiao Kedi was also taken aback, he heard of these situations for the first time, and then said with great joy: "This is a great thing, if our Xiao family can get the support of the Zhu family and the Li family, then our Xiao family will have enough confidence to speak in the future!" ……”。

Old Man Xiao pointed his finger at Xiao Ke's enemy and said: "You, you still don't have enough vision, how can things be so simple, how can the two immortals of the Zhu family and the Li family get along so well, and once the other families see that we have signs of unity, they will definitely fight us together, so the gains outweigh the losses." Therefore, Xiaotao can continue to maintain a good relationship with the two families, but he can't get too close, and it is better to maintain the status quo ......."

"Xiao Tao, those friends you have abroad, if you use them well, it is a good help for you, but if you don't handle it well, it may also put you in a situation where you can't recover, so you must deal with it carefully, you must not get too close, and those women of yours must also be properly arranged, your status is not high enough, and it is easy to be criticized for making a fuss in this regard......", Old Man Xiao's words simply made Duan Zetao creepy, do you still have any secrets that Old Man Xiao doesn't know?

Duan Zetao didn't know that Old Man Xiao was the top person in charge of the military intelligence agency before he retired, and he was directly responsible to Chief No. 1, if he wanted to know, what color of underwear Duan Zetao wore every day would be reported to him. However, the matter involved Jiang Xiaoxue and them, so he had to argue, and said firmly: "Grandpa, I will never leave Xiaoxue and them, they are very important to me, even if I don't become this official, I will never give up on them!" ”。

Xiao Ming glanced at Duan Zetao deeply, shook his head and said: "You are really an amorous seed, excellent men always have endless romantic accounts, but if you can attach so much importance to them, it also shows that you are not a merciless person, this is very good, manhood is to dare to be bold!" Don't worry, I'm not asking you to leave them, I'm just letting you make proper arrangements, among those women, the granddaughter of the Li family is the most suitable to be your spouse, and the others I mean you get them all abroad, and then I will help you get a separate identity, you can use this identity to find a country that is not monogamous and register marriage with them, and it can be regarded as an explanation to them! ……”。

Duan Zetao couldn't imagine that his grandfather would think about himself so carefully, which also solved the big problem he had been choking in his heart, he had been fighting alone, this was the first time he felt the care and warmth of his elders, and he was moved: "Grandpa, thank you for thinking so much about me, grandchildren are not good, let your old man worry about it!" ……”。

Xiao Ming waved his hand and said: "You have now reached a very important juncture in your career, your political achievements and abilities are there, but what you lack is qualifications and vision, so I want you to come to the Central Party School for further study, and after a year and a half, you will be a department-level cadre, and if you cross this hurdle, you will be able to soar to the sky!" ”。

"Now that you have been included in the Red Successor A Plan, if we interfere too much will be bad for you, everything will depend on your own efforts, we will mobilize family resources to give you the necessary help, you have gone too smoothly along the way, and have not experienced any setbacks, which is very unfavorable for you to enter the national center in the future."

"Over there in Jiangnan, Li Qiang is likely to be transferred to another province to serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee next term, you have to be mentally prepared, although Zhao Xiangyang appreciates you very much now, but he has always been the most balanced interests, if you cross the threshold of the main hall level and enter the sequence of the deputy provincial level, he is estimated to suppress you, and the next road will become more and more difficult to walk......", Xiao Ming did not shy away from it, and used his years of political wisdom to analyze his growth path for Duan Zetao.

Not only Duan Zetao, but even Xiao Kedi was stunned by the shocking news thrown by Xiao Ming, the red successor Plan A, doesn't this mean that Duan Zetao has entered the reserve team of future national leaders? It also means that Duan Zetao's every move is under the attention of the country's leaders, and if he makes a mistake, he may fall into a place of no return, no wonder Old Man Xiao said so solemnly.

Duan Zetao's whole mind was clouded, and he couldn't digest this amazing news for a while, Xiao Ming patted him on the shoulder lovingly and said: "Child, it's really hard for you, let you bear so much pressure at a young age, about your life experience, I think it's better not to disclose it to the public for the time being, this will make your pressure even greater, whether you are surnamed Duan or Xiao, it can't change the fact that you are the bloodline of our Xiao family!" You go out and rest first, and I'll discuss something with your second uncle!" ”。

Duan Zetao walked out of the study in a daze, and the conversation with Xiao Ming opened another door for him, making him a little dazed and a little overwhelmed, and suddenly heard a commotion from the banquet hall, he hurriedly ran over, and saw Xiao Min's son Chen Xianzhi pointing at his mother Zhang Guihua and shouting insults, Zhang Guihua stood there helplessly, with tears in her eyes, and her sister Duan Xiaoyan protected her mother behind her and argued loudly......
