Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Affair of the Capital
As soon as the Spring Festival passes, the two sessions seem to be coming in a blink of an eye, the two sessions are about to be held, the global media will once again focus on the two sessions, not only the domestic media go all out, many foreign media have also increased their troops and sent personnel, rushed to the capital, opened the "news war" posture, a number of international media giants also came up with important pages and time periods, or commented on the strength of reform, or predicted the future trend, the global news industry has quickly turned into the "two sessions".
For foreigners, the reason why the two sessions are important is also because they need to interpret the future of China through the signals released by the two sessions. After all, it's common for people to keep their worries about the unknown. The rejuvenation of China, an ancient power, will undoubtedly make a firm step in the future development process of the world.
And what impact this will have on the world, or what impact it will have on the countries where journalists live, these are very important questions for them.
Of course, as a very competitive industry, scoops or valuable news that can attract attention are naturally the most sought after by these journalists.
As the youngest provincial governor and very low-key, Lu Zhengdong knows very well that he is undoubtedly one of the political figures that reporters are most interested in, but it is difficult to have the opportunity to interview.
Lu Zhengdong has always kept a low profile, and apart from the necessary speeches at the conference and the delegation, Lu Zhengdong has not been interviewed in other public places.
He basically went straight home after the meeting.
According to the regulations, representatives who live in the capital can not live in the station, and Lu Zhengdong also asked for leave, but he has a rare opportunity to stay in the capital for ten days and half a month, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to accompany Xue Yu and the child in her belly.
Lu Zhengdong shunned the media. And Zeng Huaide is in the limelight.
Zeng Huaide has always maintained a high exposure rate. The media called him a "media darling", "charismatic governor", etc. During his tenure in ministries and vice-governors, he was highly photographed, and this time, as the newly promoted governor of the Shaozhuang faction, he appeared for the first time on the political stage of the two sessions, and the governor in his early forties is widely regarded as one of the newly rising powerful figures in the party. Naturally, he is also one of the focuses of the media, and has received great attention from the media at home and abroad for his open, friendly and wise appearance, and his elegant appearance and open style have made him get the treatment of a star.
And the foreign media, especially the Hong Kong media, analyzed, and in the eyes of the media, his ability is even more eye-catching, in just a few years, he has gone from ministries to localities. From the vice governor to the governor, the upward momentum is strong.
According to the practice of echelon training of mainland cadres, Zeng Huaide is very likely to be a member of the next leading collective that will be focused on training, and this is like adding fuel to the fire, encountering "crazy siege" by the media, and the scene is almost out of control.
So much so that a foreign female reporter who had just been transferred to the capital kept asking her Chinese counterparts about Zeng Huaide. The mainland reporters looked surprised: "The female reporters on the mainland seem to like him very much, and the female reporters of the Hong Kong media are also very interested in him, and now even you foreigners have joined in." β
The other reporters laughed when they heard this......
"Grandpa, Brother Waide is really amazing. Even I have some of an admiration for him. β
In a heavily guarded mansion in the capital, a tall woman said with a smile to the old man sitting next to her while browsing the website.
The old man shook his head:
"It's a double-edged sword. It can be fully understood, but Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or fail, the opponent is too strong, and this is also a last resort. β
When the woman heard this, she said thoughtfully:
"Could it be that Lu Zhengdong?"
The old man smiled and sighed slightly:
"It's not just Lu Zhengdong, there are many, the most unpredictable thing in the world is ZhengzhΓ¬, who will go to the end, the uncertainty is too great. Okay, you don't like to hear this, what are your plans to come back this time? β
Looking at the youngest granddaughter he loved the most, he would never talk about these political things, but in front of this little girl, he always couldn't help but talk about it.
"I'm going to work for the Bay Lake provincial government."
When the old man heard this, Gujing Wubo's face couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.
"I know that grandpa is most worried about Brother Huaide, I will go to Beihu to meet that Lu Zhengdong and see what kind of powerful person that Lu Zhengdong is, which actually makes my grandfather so troubled."
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but wave his hand:
"You're fooling around, didn't you say that you came back this time to be the leader of the Olympic volunteers? Why are you thinking about politics again? β
The woman looked up proudly:
"That challenge is too low, and Infernal Affairs is even more challenging."
"What Infernal Affairs?"
The woman giggled:
"Grandpa, you have long said that you have always kept pace with the times, now you are exposed, the movie Infernal Affairs is so famous, you don't know, Infernal Affairs is synonymous with undercover."
The old man's face, which has always been pleasant:
"Nonsense, my old Zeng family still needs to use such means?"
The woman did not seem to be afraid, and continued:
"Grandpa, this is not called a means, I am to observe Lu Zhengdong at close range, and truly know myself and the enemy, I just want to help Brother Huaide, mainly to share the worries of grandpa, think about grandpa has always loved me so much, but I haven't done anything for grandpa, I ......"
The woman thinks that she can do this, her parents are the leaders of Chinese-funded institutions in Hong Kong, she has been studying abroad since she was a child, and when she returns to China, she is basically on vacation with her grandfather, and she follows her mother's surname, and there are not many people in the Beijing who know her.
"There are some things that should be borne by your brothers, they have to bear them, you, the eldest is not small, it is only serious to bring a son-in-law home for grandpa for a long time. Even if you are just like Yuanyuan and them, what kind of celebrity is like them, grandpa has no opinion. I can accommodate you in everything else, but I can't do that. β
The woman saw that the old man was very resolute, and she pretended to be unwilling, but in fact, she had other plans in her heart......
At about the same time, Lu Zhengdong was also browsing the website of a well-known Hong Kong media outlet. Looking at reports like this about Zeng Huaide. I couldn't help but smile playfully.
Xue Yu on the side was originally a child who took care of her belly. I didn't want to get in front of the computer, but I couldn't help but wonder what Lu Zhengdong was looking at, and saw that Lu Zhengdong was actually reading a report about Zeng Huaide.
Born in such a family, with such a provincial governor's husband, Xue Yu is naturally very concerned about current affairs, these days he has seen reports about Zeng Huaide from many media, and he also knows that her husband and Zeng Huaide are competing with each other, but there are not many reports about Lu Zhengdong. couldn't help but pout:
"You know how to be in the limelight, you know how to brag, is there a great housekeeping in our housekeeping?"
When Lu Zhengdong saw Xue Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but smile:
"If he likes to be in the limelight, let him be in the limelight."
Lu Zhengdong stroked Xue Yu's head and said with a smile:
"He is out of his limelight, and I avoid my limelight, and the road is half of the sky."
The domestic political ecology is still more steady, and in the domestic political arena where solemnity overwhelms the living waves, this is somewhat prominent, which is inconsistent with the domestic climate. Even if Zeng Huaide doesn't know this, the rest of the Zeng family must know it. But Zeng Huaide is like this, firstly, because of Zeng Huaide's character, and secondly, he must have been approved by his family, at least acquiesced.
With the deepening of the reform, the development of the times, the solemn and steady political normalcy has also made many people feel aesthetic fatigue, and the people also hope that someone in the political arena can appear in different forms, and the Zeng family probably wants to find a unique way with this, but this strange path has made too many political stars sink into the sand and fold, which Lu Zhengdong knows too well......
Lu Zhengdong looked at Xue Yu still looking sullen, and was thinking about how to tease him a few words, but Xue Yu's mobile phone rang:
"Looking for Zhengdong, he went out after he came back, you want to come over, don't come over, he is busy and I don't know when he will come back, uh-huh......"
Xue Yu hung up the phone and sighed:
"Someone's coming."
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help scratching his head, this is all the fault of the highway, not to mention anything else, just the one with an investment of about 20 billion, that is an incomparably attractive big cake, and there are a lot of people in the capital, it is very difficult to do.
The reason why Lu Zhengdong did not live in the delegation was to avoid those people with great powers from coming to the door directly, after all, Xueyu's family was a military system, and it was not so easy for those people to come to the door, but the closest relatives of Xueyu's family were ......
"You go out and take shelter, and when he's gone, I'll call you again."
Lu Zhengdong smiled bitterly, where can he hide?
These days, those who have a good relationship in the capital are all made to die by this incident, Lu Zhengdong thought for a while and said:
"Professor Wu's house is not far from here, so I'll go to his house and sit down."
Xue Yu couldn't help muttering:
"What kind of elders, all the chaos ......"
Lu Zhengdong patted Xueyu's head:
"You can't be them if you want to be different."
Xue Yu could only nod helplessly......
Lu Zhengdong arrived at Professor Wu's residence, Lu Zhengdong pressed the doorbell and opened the door with a woman who came out of the painting, Lu Zhengdong was stunned, this face Lu Zhengdong was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, Professor Wu was a nanny at home, did he go to the wrong place?
"It's Zhengdong, come in, come in."
Professor Wu's voice came from inside, accompanied by the sound of a little girl chirping.
Lu Zhengdong walked in with some doubts.
"Yanying, this is Lu Zhengdong that I often tell you and Dongyuan. This is my granddaughter Zhu'er. β
Lu Zhengdong was relieved, no wonder he felt very familiar, it turned out to be Professor Wu's host daughter-in-law, Lu Zhengdong had watched the show hosted by Liu Yanying, which was very good, but when her career was in full swing, she chose to study abroad with Wu Dongyuan.
Liu Yanying walked over generously, shook Lu Zhengdong's hand gently, and said with a smile:
"Hello, I often hear my dad mention you."
Liu Yanying's hands were as soft as boneless, and a faint fragrance came out of her body, wisps of which drilled into her nostrils, smelling refreshing and pleasant, and her body was comfortable. The willow smoke in front of her is more beautiful than on TV, not only is she beautiful, but her voice is also graceful.
It's not that Lu Zhengdong has any ideas, but like a work of art, beautiful things are always appreciated.
Lu Zhengdong also smiled and said:
"Hello, I often hear Professor Wu mention you, Dongyuan. Didn't come back this time? I've heard of it for a long time, but I haven't seen it. β
Wu Dongyuan did not have a son to inherit his father's business. But it's also a cow one. I heard that the research in the frontier field of physics is very fruitful, has the potential to impact the Nobel Prize, and the emotional intelligence should also be extremely high, otherwise I would not have a beauty like Liu Yanying......
Lu Zhengdong was thinking about it, and the little girl in Professor Wu's arms, who was as cute as a doll in a cartoon, raised her head and said.
"My dad went to heaven, so he didn't come back with us this time."
When Lu Zhengdong heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Professor Wu and Liu Yanying, Professor Wu's face was also gloomy, no wonder his first feeling when he saw Liu Yanying at the door was like walking in a painting. Beauty is beautiful, but there is a lack of vitality, so it is.
"Teacher...... This...... When was it happening? β
Lu Zhengdong asked with some difficulty.
"It's been more than half a year. Zhengdong, don't think about comforting me, I've experienced too much life and death, and I have seen through some things, the deceased is gone, people, you have to look forward. β
Professor Wu said it easily, but the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and it was an unspeakable pain in anyone's heart. Professor Wu is like this, I am afraid it is also to comfort the mother and daughter in front of him.
"Zhu'er, you go to the house with your mother to play. Grandpa and uncle talk about something. β
Zhu'er pouted and was obviously very unhappy, and Lu Zhengdong hurriedly said:
"I didn't have anything to do here, recently the province got on a highway, and people from all walks of life came to the door, and I came to take refuge."
Professor Wu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this:
"Now these people, I really don't know what to say, like sharks, where the slightest smell of blood comes in droves."
When Zhu'er heard it, he said:
"Grandpa, you are Professor Boast, Zhu'er shed a trace of blood last time, but I didn't see a shark coming."
Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but be so made by this sentence that he almost squirted out a sip of tea, and even Liu Yanying couldn't help laughing.
boast is the meaning of bragging, Lu Zhengdong naturally knows it, not to mention Professor Wu, who has a higher English attainment, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard it:
"Your grandfather is not a professor of boast, if you want to say boast, your grandfather is really far behind, some people brag about it, and the GDP of the province is 'increased' by four percentage points. Everyone else calls Grandpa BlastingProfessor. β
BlastingProfessor is a cannon professor, which stems from Professor Wu's several criticisms of the stock market and the real estate market, which gave him this nickname.
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but glance at Zhu'er, this little guy inadvertently saved the scene, and reversed the atmosphere that he had made a little embarrassed.
"By the way, today I fired another shot at the panel discussion, and I also fought with Lao Zhang and them. By the way, I forgot about it, and when I came back, I was busy rushing to catch up with the draft of the debate, and I forgot that I hadn't finished eating. β
Liu Yanying couldn't help but say when she heard it:
"When you came back, I asked you, didn't you say you had already eaten?"
Professor Wu was also a little embarrassed:
"I was thinking about arguing with them, and I just said that."
Liu Yanying hurriedly stood up and went to cook.
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but smile and said to Zhu'er:
"Zhu'er, you have to supervise grandpa in the future and let him eat on time, do you say okay?"
Such an atmosphere is rare to mobilize, and Lu Zhengdong naturally didn't want to be cold, so he said with a smile.
After all, Professor Wu is also eighty years old, so he still has to pay attention to his body.
"Okay, grandpa must be as obedient as bamboo."
Zhu'er said in a milky voice.
Professor Wu couldn't help but laugh again when he heard this......
Liu Yanying quickly cooked the meal, Lu Zhengdong had just come over from dinner, and he couldn't hold it out, and Professor Wu didn't drink, so he didn't serve the table, but sat in the living room talking to Liu Yanying's mother and daughter.
"Governor Lu, you persuade my dad to stop arguing with others all the time, it's not good for his health, and his blood pressure will go up every time he does this. He listens to you. β
"Why does grandpa listen to uncle? Can't you listen to Zhu'er? β
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but be amused by this quirky little girl again:
"Grandpa must listen to Zhu'er, uncle and Zhu'er work together to persuade grandpa."
Zhu'er nodded with satisfaction.
However, Lu Zhengdong looked back at Liu Yanying and said in a low voice:
"That's what he's fought and defended all his life, and it's impossible to keep him from fighting, so I can only persuade him not to get angry."
Liu Yanying nodded when she heard this,
Lu Zhengdong really glanced at Liu Yanying, wearing a white lace suit, which was a very clean white, without half a variegated color, which made her whole person look extraordinarily quiet, and the faint folds and lace embellishments on the front placket added a little vividness to this tranquility, but even in front of her, Liu Yanying was like a distant water cloud, as if covered with a thin layer of mist and blurred.
Obviously, he hasn't really come out of the pain yet, and I'm afraid Professor Wu is the same, it's better to have someone to talk to.
Lu Zhengdong thought for a while and said:
"My lover is also in the capital, and she is pregnant and has been at home for a long time, and she is also bored, so I gave her a chance to come and see you. I think she'll love bamboo too. β
Although some Oriental people have to come out on their own, if they move around more and talk more, they will always soothe that feeling.
"What is pregnancy?"
Zhu'er, the curious baby, tilted his head and asked.
"It's just having a baby."
"Yes, yes."
"When is Auntie coming?"
Liu Yanying hurriedly said:
"How can your wife come over when she is pregnant, I should come to visit."
Lu Zhengdong said with a smile:
"Professor Wu has always treated me as a family member, don't be so polite."
Liu Yanying's eyes were a little complicated, there was a touch of sadness in it, and there was a little warmth, and these two completely different feelings were perfectly integrated by her in the moment just now...... (To be continued......)
