On Thursday afternoon, Qiao Ruoxuan came back from Beijing, and Song Hanlin was still in Beijing, saying that he had let something drag on again. When Qiao Ruoxuan called at the airport, Pu Tiancheng asked if he wanted to send a car to pick him up, Qiao Ruoxuan said Who asked you to send a car, is there no bus? Pu Tiancheng smiled perfunctorily, thinking that Qiao Ruoxuan didn't know which car she had gotten into, Haidong was so big, was there still a car to pick her up, and it was not too much to go to a convoy. I was supposed to come back early in the evening, thinking that no matter what, Qiao Ruoxuan is his wife, and his wife now has a happy event, of course he has to be the first to congratulate, although this happy event has not yet come true, but the duck boiled in the pot can still fly away? Impossible. Who knew that when he was about to get off work, Yu Chuanqingjin said that several leaders from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce would like to ask Pu Tiancheng to come forward to receive them. Pu Tiancheng asked casually: "Is the governor going?" Yu Chuanqing said: "The governor will accompany the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission in the afternoon, and there is Governor Laupu here." "Pu Tiancheng oh, recently the leaders and experts of various ministries and commissions of the state frequently come to Haidong, the research work penetrates into all levels, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, next month the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will come down to the research team to investigate and supervise the implementation of major decisions and deployments of the Central Committee. Pu Tiancheng cleaned up the things on the table while answering the voice, and saw Yu Chuanqing's eyes staring at the pottery obsessively, and said with a smile: "What, Secretary General Chuanqing is also interested in mysterious culture now?" ”

"Oh, the governor is making fun of me." Yu Chuanqing laughed, his eyes did not leave the pottery, and he said in his mouth, "It is said that this pottery has condensed the essence of Guishan for thousands of years, and I also think it is becoming more and more treasured." ”

"Really?" Pu Tiancheng asked with a smile, staring at Yu Chuanqing playfully. Only then did Yu Chuanqing take his eyes off the Tao and said in a low voice: "The report of the Inspector of Guishan has been submitted, I originally wanted to ask you to check it, but seeing that you are busy, I will hand it in on my own initiative." ”

"It should be, I don't have to worry about your Chuanqing check, by the way, does the governor see it, is there any criticism?"

"There is no criticism, but the governor said a word, I can't figure it out, and I want to ask Governor Pu to help me figure it out."

"What?"

"The governor said that any development has a price, and he gave me a question, whether development is important or sacrifice."

"Both are important." Pu Tiancheng replied without much thought, and his answer made Yu Chuanqing stunned. When the two walked out, Pu Tiancheng said again: "The governor is not testing you alone, he is testing all of us, let's go, of course development is important, and there is no sacrifice without development." ”

Yu Chuanqing smiled again.

After accompanying the leaders of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to eat, it was half past nine in the evening, and the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce arranged evening activities, Pu Tiancheng said that he was not feeling well and did not go, but only told Cao Xiaoan and the director of the Provincial Bureau of Industry and Commerce that they must entertain the inspectors and the two directors well, and not let them leave regrets in Haidong. The director of the provincial bureau and an assistant to the governor respectfully said yes to him. Pu Tiancheng said goodbye and insisted on not letting everyone send it, saying that it was such a good night, and he wanted to take two steps. Cao Xiaoan hurriedly followed out and said that it was too cold, and the governor was dressed singlely, so let's get in the car. Pu Tiancheng looked up at the sky, feeling that he hadn't seen the sky of Haizhou for a long time, it was a little strange, and when he looked at the street scene again, he felt even more strange.

I don't know why, since he was promoted to executive vice governor, the word "strange" began to be active in Pu Tiancheng's heart. I didn't feel this way before, but I used to be familiar with everything, I could understand it, and I could even see the bottom. But now it's obviously different, I always feel that many things are unfamiliar, and there is a distance. For example, he looked at Yu Chuanqing strangely, Lu Bo was strange, and even Song Hanlin had a sense of strangeness, not to mention his wife Qiao Ruoxuan. This is true of people, and even more so of things. In the past, when he encountered a problem, he always thought of a solution in a very short time and did not hesitate to implement it, but now it has completely changed, he has become indecisive and has become ......

He is also a stranger to himself now.

When I got home, Qiao Ruoxuan was not there, and the big bags and small bags were put on the ground at home, which shows that Qiao Ruoxuan went to the capital this time and gained a lot. Although she is a woman, Qiao Ruoxuan rarely has the habit of shopping, let alone moving things home. Although there are not many opportunities for their husband and wife to go out together these days, there are also them, and Qiao Ruoxuan is busy with two things wherever she goes, one is to call and meet people, keep making appointments, keep meeting, and keep chatting with each other, so she has far more friends than Pu Tiancheng. But as long as he is mature with Putian, Qiao Ruoxuan can make good friends, and some can even develop into close friends, this kung fu Putiancheng can definitely not compare. Another thing is sleeping. Qiao Ruoxuan is not interested in shopping, sightseeing, traveling, admiring folk customs, watching the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and has no interest in women's favorite and most greedy food and beauty, she doesn't live like a woman, but she says that she is a woman, and she also boils down the secret of women's health to two words: sleep.

Getting enough sleep is more important than anything else, these are Qiao Ruoxuan's words. Especially for a woman who is in politics and has big political aspirations, sleeping is of course the first priority. That's what she said, too, and she said it quite eloquently. Pu Tiancheng questioned it slightly, and she immediately retorted, how can there be vigorous energy without sufficient sleep, and without vigorous energy, you can't devote yourself to work 100%.

Pu Tiancheng believes that in addition to being a workaholic, his wife is also a patient who has completely lost her feminine characteristics.

This time, the sun came out from the west, and Qiao Ruoxuan actually brought so many bags. Pu Tiancheng opened it with his hand and laughed out loud when he saw it. Oh, it really beautifies her, except for a few bags of laundry, and a lot of gifts. It seems that someone rushed ahead of him and went to his wife to catch the wind, as evidenced by gifts.

Qiao Ruoxuan changed, and this feeling obviously flashed on her face, and it also stimulated Pu Tiancheng's heart. For nearly a week, Qiao Ruoxuan was busy with all kinds of entertainment. Occasionally, I would stagger home with the smell of alcohol. Although the appointment is only in the pipeline, the outside world has already spread the rumors. In these years, you don't want to keep secrets, especially personnel adjustments, which can affect the hearts of many people. Pu Tiancheng secretly observed and found that she was not the leader of the power investment group, or the unit that had business dealings with the power investment. It is said that Qiao Ruoxuan should be low-key at this time, and she should try her best to avoid it, but who knew that this time she was abnormal and became more positive than others.

It seems that she is not only sure of victory, but also impatient, has it really trapped her spirit for half a year, why don't you even understand the rules?

On this day, when Pu Tiancheng came home, he saw a room of people sitting in the house, and when he entered the door, those who warmly complimented Qiao Ruoxuan immediately got up, and almost unanimously asked the governor how to go. Pu Tiancheng nodded politely, and his eyes swept towards the living room after changing his shoes, these faces were unfamiliar, one or two of them seemed to have been seen, but they were not famous. There was a beautiful and very individual face inside, which felt familiar to Pu Tiancheng, but he really couldn't remember which occasion he had seen it, so he casually looked at it a few more times. The face also smiled at him, obviously a little restrained, but it couldn't hide the charm inside. Pu Tiancheng thought of the word "green mountains and green waters", don't you say it, this woman is really a little special, sitting in a group of people, you can tell it at a glance.

Seeing that everyone was panicking, and some people were even weak, Qiao Ruoxuan smiled nonchalantly: "Ignore him, let's talk about ours, sit down." Having said that, those people still didn't dare to sit down, and they all looked at Pu Tiancheng pitifully. Yes, how can I have this opportunity on weekdays, I can meet the vice governor face-to-face, if it weren't for Qiao Ruoxuan's high interest today, I have to bring everyone to my home, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity in my life. In addition to the excitement in my heart, I was inexplicably nervous, so nervous, until Pu Tiancheng said: "You're welcome, I'll go to the study, and you can continue to talk." "These people are a little more relaxed.

Pu Tiancheng didn't forget to look at the woman again, and the woman also sent him into the study with affectionate and lingering eyes.

Who is it? After entering the study for a long time, Pu Tiancheng was still trapped by the woman as if he was guessing a riddle. Later, I listened attentively outside for a while, and heard Qiao Ruoxuan call Xiao Xie, and suddenly remembered that he had really seen this woman, Zhang Huahua's husband's sister, called Xie Qiangrose. Once Zhang Huahua took this woman to his office, as if it was for financing. By the way, she is also from Power Investment, which department is in charge.

As soon as he thought of power investment, Pu Tiancheng's heart immediately became cloudy, it is certain that these people outside are all power investment, how can Qiao Ruoxuan be like this, it is simply crazy, how can there be such a low IQ person in the world, I am afraid that the county cadres will not be stupid to this extent, let the employees come to their homes, and they are in groups!

Where could Pu Tiancheng have thought that Qiao Ruoxuan was having a high fever these days, she didn't know where Song Hanlin was going to arrange her before, and she was even disheartened for a while, feeling that Song Hanlin was going to abandon her, so she went to Beijing to make trouble with the old chief. The old chief criticized her sharply and asked her to find the reason in herself. She cried and cried all afternoon, and misrecognized a lot, but the conditions did not loosen at all, and the old chief disarmed and surrendered, saying: "Okay, good, I can't make trouble with you, who makes me responsible for you, you children, one by one, I can't let go of my heart." After finishing, he said, "You go back first, and the next time Hanlin comes, I criticize him, my family doesn't use it, who does he want to use?!" ”

A sentence from her own family made Qiao Ruoxuan laugh, and even more made her heart rise with infinite yearning. This time she went to Beijing, she simply lived in the old chief's house, the old chief's health is getting worse day by day, and his love for them is getting deeper and deeper, and this love is not only permeated with expectations, but also attachment to something. The old chief now doesn't want them to leave the stage of power more and more, and he can't wait to use his own hands to magically arrange them in the most important positions. As soon as he heard that Song Hanlin had not yet confirmed her post, the old chief was furious, and called Song Hanlin with a phone call, and asked: "Do you think it is interesting to fly high and far alone?" Song Hanlin was speechless when he asked this, and he was even more confused by the second monk. Seeing that he is the secretary of the provincial party committee, in front of the old chief, Qiao Ruoxuan is more delicate than him and has an advantage. Song Hanlin stammered for a long time, glaring at her viciously from the corner of his eye, knowing that she had sued again. Unfortunately, the old chief saw it again, and the old chief reprimanded sharply: "Why, are you still reasonable, let me tell you Xiao Songzi, a person can't fly far, I think we climbed the snow mountain and crossed the grassland, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, one by one, to huddle into a group, I said this is to make you understand, you are not alone, no!" ”

Seeing that the old chief was excited, Qiao Ruoxuan was so happy, as if she was full of evil spirits, she mischievously admired Song Hanlin's criticism, her face showed a rare naughtiness, and Song Hanlin was so angry that she wanted to beat her.

That day, Song Hanlin expressed his attitude, and he couldn't help him if he didn't express his position, and the old chief didn't let him sit if he didn't express his position. The old chief asked Qiao Ruoxuan to pinch his shoulders and beat his back, but he didn't reward Song Hanlin with a sip of water. The nanny asked for instructions twice to serve tea to Song Hanlin, but she was frightened back by the evil gaze of the old chief. Later, the secretary came over and reminded him with an uneasy look that it was the secretary of the Haidong Provincial Party Committee and an alternate member of the Central Committee, and the old chief ignored it, only waved his hand, and the secretary retreated with a white face. Song Hanlin could only express his position, and he told the old chief how to plan and how to operate in 1510. After the report, the old chief said, "That's all? ”

Song Hanlin replied honestly: "At present, we can only do this step. ”

"Then what are you hiding from you, just talk to Xiao Xuan directly?" The old chief was still in a critical tone. Song Hanlin glanced at Qiao Ruoxuan, Qiao Ruoxuan's face had changed color, and even tried to come over and help Song Hanlin take over the coat. Song Hanlin glared at her hatefully, Qiao Ruoxuan grimaced, and smiled happily and playfully at Song Hanlin.

The two of them squeezed their eyebrows and let the old chief see it, and the old chief shook his head slightly, but there was a very happy expression on his face. "Sit down." The old chief finally said.

Of course, Qiao Ruoxuan doesn't care about her identity or Pu Tiancheng's identity, and she can't bear to contact the people of Power Investment, which does not prove that she is a person who has no city government or dares to break the rules. Qiao Ruoxuan was in a hurry. How can Pu Tiancheng understand Qiao Ruoxuan's heart, in the past half a year, Qiao Ruoxuan has been walking on thin ice, and she has the heart to commit suicide. Once she quarreled with Song Hanlin, Song Hanlin just said: "It's not just you who is thinking now, I want to think about Tiancheng, I can't have a negative impact on Tiancheng because of your arrangement, it's not worth it." Qiao Ruoxuan immediately said: "Then what do you say, I am me, he is him, it doesn't matter to the two of us." Seeing Song Hanlin's glare, she immediately said, "If he ruins my future, I will divorce him immediately." Song Hanlin was startled by these words, no matter what, Song Hanlin couldn't watch these two people divorce, in that case, he couldn't say it clearly, and he would never be able to say it. Although Qiao Ruoxuan said angry words, it was enough to show how seriously she took the future. It is said that people can look down on fame and fortune and the power in their hands, that is, you have never got power, and when you have held power, you will never think like this again. People who say things outside their bodies are because they haven't really gotten those things, and if you can't get them, of course you can let them go, and for Qiao Ruoxuan, power has long become a part of life, a very important part, once the power is gone, what is the meaning of living?

Qiao Ruoxuan was a little anxious, when Song Hanlin roughly depicted her future in front of the old chief, she immediately churned in her heart, Power Investment Group, she didn't dare to think about it before, for many years, she has long been used to handing herself over to the ** or the party committee, and feels that that is her destination, where she struggles, and her business, and never thought that one day she would go to the enterprise, or the top ten investment groups in Haidong, controlling hundreds or even hundreds of billions of giant units. She was both happy and scared in her heart, happy that the power was back in her hands, she was not left behind by the power, she was still in the center of this vortex, in the core layer, and even heavier than before. What I'm afraid of is that she doesn't know anything about investment, and she doesn't have any bottom in her heart about all the things she will control in the future. Therefore, when the middle and senior management of the power investment group heard the wind and sent enthusiasm to her in advance, she could no longer be quiet, and she couldn't wait to immediately plunge into it and carve a channel for herself before the appointment document was issued. Qiao Ruoxuan knew that this was very risky and too inconsistent with the rules of the game, but in order to show her face to Song Hanlin and fight for herself, she really couldn't care so much, Qiao Ruoxuan decided to take this risk!

Of course, Qiao Ruoxuan brought these people to her home for another direct reason, that is, she had nowhere to go. Going outside at this time is tantamount to creating unfavorable rumors for herself, and she still has this soberness. Home is safe, especially the vice governor's home, this kind of unconventional idea is only for her Qiao Ruoxuan.

In fact, no matter what she thought, her every move was already in Lubo's eyes, and Lubo watched, listened, enjoyed, and waited.

The curtain has opened, and another scene is about to be staged.
