There is no Beihu fever in the capital in May, but it seems to be much drier, both of them are on vacation, there is no entourage, fortunately, the luggage is not big, and the two are not used to taking care of their own lives.

Lu Zhengdong had seen before that after the airport canceled the VIP lounge service to strengthen the construction of work style, many cadres with leaders and the like did not know how to board the plane.

It's easy to be without an entourage, and they are used to being majestic and reserved on weekdays, and they are far away from the entanglements, and both of them are relaxed, and there is a kind of freedom of Jiaolong entering the sea.

Liang Mei's car was parked in the parking lot outside the airport, and when she got into the car, Liang Mei smiled and said:

"I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Zhengdong nodded, it is estimated that he is going to a club or something, and now high-level private gatherings are highlighted, and the rich people in the business world use this way to maintain the relationship between business and private, because doing business in China not only requires their own business acumen and extraordinary ability, but also needs a circle, and there are Chang'an Clubs and Beijing Clubs in Beijing; The up-and-coming club of the rich,

The private circle at the high level of officialdom is even more mysterious, involving the political zhì itself is particularly sensitive, the depth of the water in the capital is not to travel with legs, and it is often a hidden period of the heavenly figures, and the circle can pass through the connections and related operations of the members of the guò to enhance the influence on the political zhì economy.

Lu Zhengdong heard that the Yale University Skull and Bones Society is also effectively imitated in China, and of course there will never be such a terrifying name that may be branded as a cult.

Although US President George W. Bush would not care about the media exposing his secret of writing love poems to his wife Laura, there is one secret he is absolutely tight-lipped about, that is, he is a member of the "Skull and Bones Society", a secret elite organization at Yale University in the United States.

Yale's Skull and Bones name is terrifying. In fact, it is the "secret club" of the rich and powerful in the United States; Its purpose is to enable members to reach the pinnacle of power and wealth; It has attracted the attention of three generations of the Bush family.

Get off the airport expressway. The car turned a couple of overpasses. Entering the winding mountain road, there are not many cars driving between the valleys. The mountain is very gentle, not as abrupt and steep as the mountain of Beihu, majestic and magnificent, and the propaganda slogans of "closing the mountain for afforestation" and "moving down the mountain, living and working in peace and contentment" are displayed on the mountain from time to time.

"I think that in the province on the edge of the capital, sooner or later, the original inhabitants of the mountain will be demolished and relocated to the bottom of the mountain, and bridges will be built, roads, electricity and water will be delivered. To improve the living conditions of the mountain residents, the cost of infrastructure in the mountains is too high, and the ecology of the north is too fragile, once the greenery is destroyed by the mountain people, it is difficult to recover. ”

Liang Mei saw the slogan on the mountain, found a topic and sighed.

Lu Zhengdong was used to officialdom tricks, but he had some guesses, and said with a meaningful smile:

"The capital is an inch of land, the scenery on the mountain is quite beautiful, and it is adjacent to the capital. The land plot is rich in natural scarcity, and it depends on the mountains to eat the mountains. In the long run, it may not be the fat in the eyes of the government and developers, I think it is a good plan to be a mountain villa. ”

Then he paused:

"The population pressure in the capital is getting bigger and bigger, the carbon emissions are getting bigger and bigger, and the surrounding area is also bent on development, and the environmental protection is not too tight, or a few years, the capital is not just a tiresome sandstorm problem, but the more thorny polluted haze makes it rare for the capital to see the light of day, when the haze, it seems that there is no other way than to be blown away by the wind, and the people of the capital can only learn from the ancients to sacrifice the wind when the time comes."

Liang Mei was more optimistic than him, and said with a smile:

"No, there was an Olympics in 08, and now it's being rectified."

Lu Zhengdong smiled and said:

"What about after the Olympics? I had a dream one day that a person from Beijing went to a certain place to travel and saw that the air was so good, he took a few puffs and fainted to the ground. The people around him couldn't do first aid, and another person from the capital came over, dragged the two to the exhaust hole of the car, started the car, and asked him to take a few sharp breaths of exhaust, and suddenly the person woke up. ”

Liang Mei couldn't help but laugh when she heard it:

"Zhengdong, I can't see that your mouth is really damaged, if those leaders in Beijing hear it, it is estimated that the face is blacker than carbon."

Lu Zhengdong smiled slightly:

"Hehe, the words will definitely not reach their mouths, this is not only a problem of the capital, but also closely related to the identity of the surrounding areas of the capital, and even the ecological environment of the provinces further away, that is, the problem of the entire large ecosystem, but then again, the reason why the capital is the imperial capital is destined to hold the style of the imperial capital. In general mythological stories, the noble places are always filled with smoke and seem unfathomable. For example, the Temple of the Heavens, the Temple of Leiyin, the Mount Boda, or the dark forests of Middle-earth, the Serandui, are all looming in a cloud of mist. Needless to say, the importance and authority of this place in the capital are not to be said. As for the haze, you can understand it as the 'aura' of the capital. The so-called divine dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and the divine dragon appears, how can there be no clouds? In the same way, can the real body of the capital be seen lightly? For those of us who enter Beijing, the smog in the capital can be regarded as a scene. ”

Smog is destined to become a lingering headache in the capital after a few years, but Liang Mei is obviously not clear, but she understands that Lu Zhengdong is annoyed by the land department's refusal to approve the highway land for the stuck Beihu Lake, and said with a smile:

"You, this is even worse than what you said just now, it's rare that you're in the mood to joke, so don't stop talking about business, take it easy."

Liang Mei naturally didn't take him to any club, but saw that he was too worried, and wanted to take this opportunity to let him really relax and relax, of course, she herself was also very relaxed, although she arrived in the capital, the work was relatively simple, but it was still not easy.

Liang Mei couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she was capable and free in other things, but in matters with Lu Zhengdong, she was like a man quitting smoking, and she was always on the way to quitting......

When she arrived at the place, Liang Mei "drove Lu Zhengdong" out of the car first.

Lu Zhengdong stood beside the car and looked at the surrounding scenery, compared with the green of the Beihu warbler and the long grass, the early summer in the north is still a little thinner, but it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. One side by the water. The mountains in the distance are varied, and there is no end to the Great Wall of Canyons at a glance. The whole section of the Great Wall winds in the shape of a W, shaped like a full bow and arrows, although it is out of reach, it also has a sense of history, and there is a unique flavor in it......

After a while, Liang Mei also got out of the car, no longer wearing a professional suit, but a casual outfit. is used to seeing the beauty of Liang Mei's professional suit, and he really can't accept this dress for a while. The upper body is a casual T-shirt, and the lower body is paired with a purple skirt, which is not too thin, but it also wraps the tight buttocks roundly, and some bright high heels add a bit of charm and sexiness

This outfit completely subverted the previous very strong woman atmosphere, with intellectual grace and a bit of sexy mature charm, not to mention the face that can't see age.

Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, in the system. Women, especially beautiful women, will always be looked at with colored glasses, and this is especially true when it comes to a position like Liang Mei. Dressing up is the only criterion for modesty, and sometimes even deliberately hiding beauty, perhaps even the system is the biggest weapon to stifle beauty......

Liang Mei watched Lu Zhengdong staring at herself like this, and didn't care, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it is also admirable, and she obviously deliberately let Lu Zhengdong appreciate it, so there is a smile on her face that does not make people feel a sense of distance but does not make people feel obscene, this is the background......

But Lu Zhengdong stared at her without speaking, although his eyes were full of appreciation, but staring at her like this, no matter how he said it, it was not something that people could easily accept, that is, Liang Mei had experienced strong winds and waves after all, and her nerves were tougher than ordinary women, so she was the first to speak:

"It's not a bad place, right?"

Lu Zhengdong smiled:

"Well, it's also a paradise around the capital, how did you find such a place?"

Liang Mei also smiled:

"I'm working with young people now, so naturally I want to get to know young people, so it's easy to find places like this."

Liang Mei has been to this place more than once, as a single woman, in fact, there are times when she feels empty and lonely, especially when she is more idle, the loneliness in her heart grows like weeds, so she also likes to walk in such a place where there are few people.

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"The major scenic spots on May Day are bursting, and there are many noisy people, which is to see the scenery, and it is completely to see the back of the head."

Liang Mei couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said softly: "You can go right and left, how can we go?" ”

Lu Zhengdong said: "It's all up to you today." ”

The two of them strolled, and soon arrived at the mountainside by the lake, looking out from the high place on the mountain, the lake and mountains were in full view, and Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but express his feelings of history.

Liang Mei teased Lu Zhengdong and said, "Then what do you mean is to do a better job than the emperor in the future." ”

Lu Zhengdong waved his hand and said:

"I can manage Beihu well, I am already reluctantly difficult, people are self-aware."

How difficult it is to reach the top, especially in the country, in a sense, there are no political strongmen, the so-called generational designation has been greatly weakened in a large way, and the variables in the middle are by no means understandable to outsiders.

Seeing that Lu Zhengdong was like this, Liang Mei didn't want to continue this depressing topic, so she snuggled down the mountain and said, "Let's go to the island in the middle of the lake to have a look." ”

This trail is paved with pebbles along the lake, unlike the white marble railings in the capital, the carving is exquisite and gorgeous, but it is a very winding and quiet artistic conception, Lu Zhengdong can't help but think that the scenery must be better over there.

Liang Mei didn't say much, looking at the sparkling blue water, she was melancholy, and when she reached the end, it was like a one-meter-wide brick wall, blocked high, and it was a dead end.

Lu Zhengdong was distracted, took a breath and said in surprise, "How is this so, the beautiful scenery is incomplete, and it is a fly in the ointment." ”

Liang Mei knew this, so she was not surprised at all, and said with a smile:

"Zhengdong, feel it, just stepped into the trail, we expect to have a beautiful scenery at the end, after all, there has always been a winding path through the secluded such a saying, too perfect, expectations are inevitably high, but wait for the answer, the loss will be magnified, this is very similar to our life path, good times may not be smooth roads."

Of course, Liang Mei knew that Lu Zhengdong's immediate goal was to become the secretary of the provincial party committee, and the series of measures implemented in Beihu had really touched the interests of some interest groups, so the resistance encountered was naturally greater.

Lu Zhengdong knew that Liang Mei was in disguise and was exhorting himself not to pursue perfection too much, so he thought for a while and said:

"I'm not that pedantic either. It is not unclear about the national situation. No workarounds will be made. But some people are too blatant, and if something happens, my plan will be in vain if it is smaller, and if it is bigger, Baylake will miss another historic opportunity. ”

Liang Mei nodded, Lu Zhengdong was really exquisite, and she understood what she meant at once. How can she not know that some people are greedy in this regard, there has never been a feast in the world that eats for nothing, especially in the system, where people are busy working for nothing during the day? This is impossible, either the benefits are in exchange, or it is a big favor owed to others, and it is even more troublesome to owe favors.

Lu Zhengdong paused and said:

"As long as we can achieve relatively fair bidding and ensure the quality of the project, this is already very remarkable."

Liang Mei nodded, and Lu Zhengdong confessed. She's easy to do.

Lu Zhengdong also knew that Liang Mei must have decided to help him match him after a fierce ideological struggle. Thinking of this, she silently handed over her hand, Liang Mei hesitantly put her hand in Lu Zhengdong's hand, Lu Zhengdong's eyes contained friendship, resonance, and something beyond friendship.

Liang Mei stared for a while, her ears were inexplicably red, and she lowered her head in shame, Lu Zhengdong's heart became more and more soft, with a smile, and bravely circled her arms, Liang Mei was shy and charming, beautiful and moving, and she nudged twice to welcome and refuse, and then leaned into Lu Zhengdong's arm bend obediently, after all, it was outdoors, Liang Mei was still a little uncomfortable, her face was flushed, her expression was coquettish and shy, like a blooming rose, extremely beautiful, showing an irresistible temptation. Lu Zhengdong's heart jumped fiercely, he couldn't think about anything anymore, and he stretched out his mouth and kissed her gently on her red face.

Liang Mei had a sour but comfortable feeling of being shocked by electricity, and the spring water of a stone was thrown into the pond, and the ripples rippled from her face and spread rapidly, spreading to every part of her body in an instant.

Although it was only a brief shallow contact, it gave her an eternal shock......

Lu Zhengdong was tantamount to piercing a thin piece of window paper, but it made Liang Mei relieved, the two talked a lot less, and between their eyes, ripples kept ......

Although the two are not intimate with you and me and me, they are in an ethereal state of mind, and they have forgotten and melted together.

As a person in the officialdom, he is lonely, and there is never any real friendship and friendship between his superiors and subordinates, only the trade-offs of interests, which constitute the most stable relationship framework.

The two sympathize with each other, but it is a special case, if only in terms of women, Lu Zhengdong has never lacked private feelings between men and women, although he can also ask his heart in the dark, review himself, and blame himself for being inattentive, how can he kill when he is emotional, he should be dead, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

Liang Mei is accustomed to being cold-faced and arrogant, and has been indifferent to the relationship between men and women for many years, and her heart is like water, how can she meet Lu Zhengdong handsome and suave, with excellent ability, from sympathy to love, under the coat of killing and decisiveness, it is the admiring heart, which has been hovering between fire and reserve for a long time, and Lu Zhengdong has come to this point, and it is not completely passive,

remembered that the first time something like this happened with Lu Zhengdong, it was she who invited Lu Zhengdong to dinner, originally to talk about work, but it happened to be her birthday, and that kind of atmosphere made her unable to hold back anymore...... From a certain Cheng dù, she has a taste of opening the door and stealing, thinking of the past little by little, Liang Mei can't find a language to describe such a very contradictory feeling......

The sun sets on the lake, the sunset reflects the red sky, the scenery is extraordinarily beautiful, the two are immersed in the scenery of the sunset, and it has also become a beautiful scenery by the lake......

The two of them walked and felt that the love was long, and the road was longer. It wasn't until Lu Zhengdong grunted a few times in his belly that he broke the affectionate mood, Liang Meiyue smiled, and the two drove back......

The car did not enter the city, but drove into a quiet courtyard, out of the garage, Lu Zhengdong looked, the courtyard is very spacious, the front is a three-story European-style building, the door is a milky white marble arch bridge, next to the arch bridge also lies a realistic stone lion.

On the east side of the courtyard is a soft and flat lawn, on which are planted a few large trees, lush and extremely luxuriant, and the thick branches have protruded out of the three-meter-high fence, while on the west side there is an independent outdoor swimming pool, the pool is still spraying water, on the edge of the pool, there is a burgundy terrace sun umbrella, a rosewood round table, and a few rattan chairs.

The lights around are sparse, it should be the suburbs of Beijing, and the road:

"This place is very good, even in the suburbs of Beijing, it is worth a lot of money."

Since the second half of 04, housing prices have been rising sharply, even in the suburbs of Beijing, such a place must be very valuable.

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, nearly 100 people have served as secretaries in the Secretariat of our system, no matter where they go later and what position they hold, to this day, no one has made mistakes due to economic problems, and I will definitely not be the first person."

Liang Mei smiled:

"This is a classmate of mine, and this place was bought for the manuscript of her two books, but it must be worth a lot of money now. Of my classmates, I was probably the poorest. ”

Lu Zhengdong smiled:

"If you really like it, I'll give you a set."

Liang Mei knew that Lu Zhengdong had made a lot of money by "speculating in stocks" in Pujiang to support national construction, so she glanced at him:

"Isn't that self-defeating?"

Lu Zhengdong is also joking, he also knows why no one in the Secretariat of the Youth League system has economic problems, on the one hand, as far as their business content is concerned, political work is their main task, and serving the people in politics is their vision. Less exposure to economic work.

On the other hand, to put it bluntly, these people are just for the purpose of training them to become high-ranking leading cadres. "The general is in a hurry, don't catch the rabbit", is the least truth they all understand. People with lofty aspirations will naturally not be tempted or shaken by the economic interests of those small favors, and of course they will not be swayed by this...... (To be continued......)
