Chapter 264: Three major factions

The proprietress stepped aside, hesitated, and dialed my cell phone anyway.

"Chen Lin, let me tell you something. Don't be angry! ”

I had already come out of the parking lot by this time, and when I heard the proprietress say this, I knew that my guess was not wrong. Today's dinner is really not simple.

I smiled and said, "Sister Qing, as long as you don't want to break up with me, I promise not to be angry." ”

The proprietress snorted coquettishly.

"People have relied on you in this life. If you want to break up, I won't say yes! ”

I was relieved to hear the proprietress say this.

"Since it's not a breakup, then you can say it! I promise not to get angry. ”

The proprietress glanced at the old mother not far away, and then whispered to me: "My mother called me over today, but she actually arranged a blind date for me with a man."

I would have liked to go.

But this man's identity is not simple, if the current situation of our family offends him. It may be a problem for my brother and he will never be able to be transferred back from Tibet. ”

Speaking of which, the proprietress whispered Zhang Bowen's situation to me again.

As soon as I heard the proprietress say that this Zhang Bowen was Qian Shenghua's cousin, I immediately understood why her mother introduced her to this blind date.

Obviously, Du Linnan wanted to use this in-law relationship to establish an alliance with the Xu family.

I had heard Xu Ying talk about the general situation of Rongcheng officialdom before.

Xu Ying said, don't look at Rongcheng is a sub-provincial city, with tens of thousands of officials, and the number of people on the staff is as high as four or five thousand. But the people who are really influential are actually from three factions.

This first one is the Liu faction where Luo Zhenshan, the father of the proprietress Luo Xueqing, is located.

Luo Zhenshan's faction is called the Liu faction because the boss of their faction is Liu Chengguo. This Liu Chengguo was Luo Zhenshan's deputy back then, and he was also promoted by Luo Zhenshan.

Now, Liu Chengguo is the deputy secretary of the Rongcheng Municipal Party Committee, and Qin Feiyu's deputy mayor's father, Qin Changbo, has the same status.

With half a year to go, the incumbent mayor will retire from office. Therefore, Liu Chengguo and Qin Changbo are currently running for mayor with all their might.

Liu and Qin are both local factions, and they have served in Rongcheng for many years, and they are both deep-rooted, and they can be regarded as chess opponents.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Ying speculated that Qin Feiyu deliberately dug into the corner of Luo Zhenshan's son, probably deliberately trying to provoke the Luo family by taking advantage of this matter. finally pulled the retired Luo Zhenshan into the water.

Luo Zhenshan is the old leader of Liu Chengguo, if something happens to the Luo family, it is impossible for Liu Chengguo not to come to the rescue.

As long as Liu Chengguo comes to the rescue of the Luo family, Qin Changbo can use this matter as a bargaining chip to make Liu Chengguo withdraw from the competition with him for the next mayor.

In addition to the Liu and Qin families, there is also a more powerful local faction in Rongcheng, and the influence is still above the Liu and Qin families.

This family is the Xu family.

Xu Ying's own uncle served as the head of the organization department in the province and held great power. In addition, there are many people in their Xu family who hold various important positions in the province. Xu Ying's grandfather was the number one in the province back then, and his protΓ©gΓ©s were also very extensive.

It is precisely because of the Xu family's huge influence in Rongcheng officialdom.

Qin Feiyu dared to be arrogant in front of the Luo family, but when he received a call from Xu Ying, he could only silently endure the revenge of being injured by me last time.

Luo Zhenshan and his wife obviously had already seen the situation clearly, and knew that Qin Feiyu deliberately pestered their daughter-in-law Xia Yao, and asked them to transfer their son Luo Xiaodong to Tibet, in order to suppress their Luo family and gain bargaining chips for his son to negotiate with Liu Chengguo.

In other words, all this Qin Feiyu did should be the instruction of his son Qin Changbo behind his back.

As a result, it is even more difficult for the couple to get their son Luo Xiaodong back from Tibet.

Du Linnan brought her daughter on a blind date with Zhang Bowen today, firstly, for her daughter's lifelong happiness, and secondly, she also wanted to use Zhang Bowen to get married to the most powerful Xu family in Rongcheng officialdom.

In this way, with the Xu family as their backer, the father and son of the Qin family no longer dare to embarrass their son Luo Xiaodong, let alone pester their daughter-in-law Xia Yao.

I have to say that Du Linnan thought of a very clever way to break the situation for her husband.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

But they didn't know that my relationship with the Xu family was actually closer than Zhang Bowen. Although Xu Ying did not divorce Qian Shenghua, I can be sure that Xu Ying has fallen in love with me.

And this Zhang Bowen is just Xu Ying's husband's cousin, and his status in Xu Ying's heart is definitely far less important than mine.

If I had a conflict with Zhang Bowen, Xu Ying would definitely help me, not Zhang Bowen.

But I can't tell the boss about my relationship with Xu Ying, let alone my future mother-in-law, Du Linnan.

I can't tell them that I have slept with Xu Ying a few times. Xu Ying loves me more than her husband now!

I had no choice but to quietly send a message to Xu Ying and ask her to find a way to get this Zhang Bowen for me.

After hanging up the phone of the boss's wife, I immediately sent a message to Xu Ying, briefly explaining that Zhang Bowen was going to go on a blind date with the boss's wife.

Xu Ying quickly sent me a message back.

"Don't worry, it's on me. I guarantee that Zhang Bowen will not dare to hit your Luo Xueqing's idea.

However, I was in a meeting here, and several leaders in the city were there, so I couldn't leave. As soon as I finished the meeting, I called Zhang Bowen. ”

When I saw Xu Ying's reply, I was immediately relieved.

I immediately called the proprietress again and asked her to wait for me at the door of the private restaurant.

Ten minutes later, Du Linnan was surprised to see me appear at the door.

"Chen Lin, didn't Qingqing say that you have to rush back to the company to deal with an urgent matter?"

I knew that the proprietress didn't want me to come with me, for fear that I would suffer, so she deliberately made up this reason with her mother.

I immediately smiled and said to Du Linnan: "Auntie, I have already dealt with the company's affairs on the phone." Let's go inside! ”

When Du Linnan heard what I said, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, let's go into the private room."

I followed the proprietress and her mother to the private room on the second floor.

The private room is not large, and there are two people, a man and a woman, sitting at the round table.

The woman is in her early fifties, and I guess it should be the Aunt Liu that Du Linnan talked about before.

The man sitting next to Aunt Liu was in his early thirties, not ugly, but he had a big belly, and he already had some tops on his head. The temperament is somewhat similar to Li Liangcai.

I know that this man must be the Zhang Bowen who is highly valued by Luo Zhenshan and his wife.

Zhang Bowen was originally looking at his phone casually, obviously not very positive about today's blind date.

However, when he saw the appearance of the boss lady, Zhang Bowen's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Aunt Du, Xue Qing, hello!"

Zhang Bowen quickly put away his mobile phone, stood up with a smile and took the initiative to say hello.

The proprietress was originally the ceiling among the light mature women, and she made a special dress up today in order to please me. That kind of intellectual, elegant and charming temperament, few men can bear it.
