Seeing Gu Cheng come in, Zhang Shulin took off his reading glasses, put the newspaper on the coffee table, and said happily: "Gu Cheng, sit down." ”

Since the death of my wife, my children no longer live here, and only myself and my nanny are left in the huge villa, which seems to be more and more empty.

Although it has been nearly 5 years since he retired, Zhang Linlin's mentality has not been adjusted from the mentality of the secretary of the provincial party committee.

Maybe it's because he's getting older, maybe it's because he's in a hurry, and he is more and more eager to have someone come to this villa to chat with him and play chess, but he finds that this desire is becoming more and more a luxury.

Everyone is very busy, and they don't have time to take care of him, the retired secretary of the provincial party committee, only Gu Cheng will occasionally take some time to come and see him, although every time Gu Cheng comes, he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"Thank you, old leader." Gu Cheng put the black suitcase full of money on the floor next to the sofa, and then sat down on the sofa opposite Zhang Linlin, and the nanny made tea for Gu Cheng in a timely manner, and then gently exited the living room.

Zhang Linlin glanced at the black suitcase placed on the side of the sofa with his spare eyes, and had already guessed what it was, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart, didn't he just become the executive vice mayor a while ago? What is this kid singing? 🅼.𝕍𝕆𝘿🆃𝙬.ℂ🅾🅼

"Old leader, how are you doing lately? Does Yuyang still call often? Gu Cheng pretended to greet Zhang Forest with concern, and consciously led the topic to his youngest son Zhang Yuyang.

Gu Cheng knew very well in his heart that when it came to Zhang Yuyang, the old leader would definitely not be able to avoid talking about money.

In this way, I can lose no time in talking about money.

Sure enough, it's okay not to mention Zhang Yuyang, as soon as Zhang Yuyang is mentioned, Zhang Forest is angry: "It's okay if Yuyang doesn't call, as soon as he calls, he asks for money!" ”

"The old leader is discouraged, Yuyang is in a developed country in Europe, and it is normal for him to have a large overhead."

Gu Jian was secretly proud in his heart, and really started to talk about money.

"I know that the expenses are large, but I can't be unrestrained, 200,000 yuan a month is not enough, and it costs too much."

Zhang Forest was quite honest when he was in office, and when he retired, he made seven or eight million, but now he has a son who can spend money, and he has already spent seven or eight dollars in Europe.

"Old leader, I have some cash, you can take it to the emergency first." Gu Cheng said seemingly casually.

A flash of light flashed on Zhang Linlin's somewhat bloated and drooping eye bags, and he immediately asked Gu Cheng quietly: "Gu Cheng, don't hide it, let's talk, what's the matter?" ”

Those who know me are also old leaders.

Since Zhang Linlin said this, Gu Cheng didn't hide it, he habitually brushed his hair back with his fingers, raised his head slightly, and said, "Old leader, then I'll say it directly." Isn't our mayor of Qingbei City still undecided? I want to put the burden on me, try it. ”

After speaking, he stared at Zhang Linlin intently, and he found that Zhang Linlin's gaze was a little hesitant, and he couldn't help but sink his heart.

Even Zhang Linlin found it difficult to do, and it seemed that he was still too optimistic.

The position of the mayor of Qingbei City has not been decided, and Zhang Linlin certainly knows what is going on.

If the original political power of Xinjiang Province was still three-legged, then now there is gradually a trend of dominance, even if his side and the governor Xu Songyuan unite, they may not be able to shake the forces of Wu Rui and Lin Weixin, not to mention that this possibility does not exist at all.

This year's re-election year will be a watershed moment, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will be weaker.

Wu Rui and Lin Weixin will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of this reshuffle to weaken the strength of themselves and Xu Songyuan.

Therefore, it is impossible for Fang Qingshan to ascend to the throne.

What about Gu Cheng?

It must be the same as Fang Qingshan.

Of course, it is not impossible.

That is, when the strength of his side is so weak that it can no longer pose any threat to Lin Weixin's faction, maybe for the sake of the situation, he will take proper care of it.

There is also a particularly tricky question:

Transferring Gu Cheng from the deputy mayor of Yizhou City to Qingbei City as the executive deputy mayor, Wu Rui has already given himself face, it has only been two months, and he proposed to be promoted from the executive vice mayor to the mayor, which is really not easy to open.

Zhang Linlin pondered for a while before he spoke: "Gu Cheng, this matter is not difficult, I am retired after all, and it is useless to speak, you also know that Xu Songyuan did not push Fang Qingshan up, he is still the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the governor, you are my person, they will definitely guard against it." ”

Zhang Linlin's words made Gu Cheng's heart cold.

"Old leader, is there no hope at all?" Gu Cheng asked unwillingly.

Zhang Shulin took out a cigarette from the Huazi on the coffee table, Gu Cheng was busy lighting it for him, he took a deep breath, and then spit it out leisurely, the smoke instantly blurred his face.

Not doing it is Zhang Linlin's character.

Who would have thought that a small technician at an agricultural technology station would become the secretary of the provincial party committee of the ruling party of Tan Giang Province in the future?

He suddenly made up his mind and said to Gu Cheng: "Gu Cheng, let me try, what the result is, I can only resign myself to fate."
