Chapter 435: The Tang Family
With emotion, Zhang Weidong followed Duan Wei to the gate of the courtyard.
Facing the armed police with a grim expression and a real gun, Duan Wei, who also served as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of the first party committee of the Tiannan Provincial Armed Police Corps, showed an extraordinarily humble attitude for the first time, and walked up to one of the armed policemen to introduce himself politely and introduce Zhang Weidong by the way.
The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the secretary of the political and legal committee of a province, the third in command of the provincial party committee, can be regarded as a feudal official. However, after listening to Duan Wei's self-introduction, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but after looking at Duan Wei and Zhang Weidong's work documents on official business, he said "wait a minute" and turned around and went into the house to report.
Not long after the armed police entered, a middle-aged woman wearing a tailored coat and a somewhat dignified face walked out of the back room.
"She is Tang Xuhong, Donald's youngest daughter. Seeing the middle-aged woman coming out of the back room, Duan Wei whispered to Zhang Weidong, and then greeted him with a smile.
"Hello Director Tang. ”
"Hello in the book. ”
Tang Xuhong stepped forward, shook Duan Wei's hand, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Weidong with some surprise.
It's really Zhang Weidong who is too young, so young that he shouldn't seem to walk with Duan Wei, let alone appear in this courtyard together.
When Tang Xuhong's eyes fell on Zhang Weidong in surprise, Zhang Weidong was also looking at her.
Before coming here, Duan Wei had already introduced the Tang family to Zhang Weidong. The most important member of the Tang family is undoubtedly Tang Lao, it can be said that as long as Tang Lao is alive for a day, the Tang family will be an evergreen tree in the political arena of the Chinese country and will not fall. However, Donald is ninety-five years old this year, which is already a very old age, and no one knows how many more years he will live. Tang Lao had four sons and two daughters in his life, but the eldest son died under the gun of the "Japan" himself during the Anti-Japanese War, but the eldest daughter died during the Cultural Revolution in the era of peace, so there are only three sons and one daughter who are still alive today, but even so, relatively speaking, the Tang family is also prosperous.
The so-called tiger father has no dog son, the three sons and one daughter of the Tang family are now quite influential in the domestic political arena, among which the most influential is Tang Xingbang, the second son of the Tang family, Tang Xingbang is now a member of the Political Bureau of the Provincial Committee of Lingnan Province, a strong coastal economic province. The third son, Tang Xingzhong, served as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee, and the fourth son, Tang Xingqiang, was the commander of a certain group army with the rank of major general. The fourth daughter, that is, Zhang Weidong, now sees Tang Xuhong, is the deputy director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a public institution directly under the State Council, and Zhang Weidong is half a scientific research peer.
In addition to the second generation of talents in the Tang family, there are also a few outstanding children in the third generation, but there is no detailed introduction to Duan Wei of the third generation of the Tang family, only a few words are mentioned, and Zhang Weidong does not take it to heart. When Zhang Weidong reaches his current cultivation and realm, all he really cares about and cares about is the people he wants to care about and care about. In the eyes of others, the three generations of the Tang family may be very awesome, but in Zhang Weidong's eyes, the weight is not much different from Gu Xiaofei and others.
"Hello Director Tang, my name is Zhang Weidong. Zhang Weidong saw Tang Xuhong's eyes fall on him, smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to her very generously.
Tang Xuhong looked at the calm smile on Zhang Weidong's face, which was at most similar to her children, and her heart was even more surprised, but she still reached out and shook Zhang Weidong gently, and said, "Hello Xiao Zhang." ”
The person was brought by Duan Wei, don't look at Duan Wei walking on thin ice at the door just now, but no matter what, Duan Wei is also a deputy provincial-level cadre with real power, a cadre directly managed by the Central Organization Department, and he is still a very important backbone element in the Tang circle, and he is also the object that the Tang family must closely woo. Even if Tang Xuhong is the daughter of Tang Lao, Duan Wei's face still has to be given.
However, judging from Tang Xuhong's name for Zhang Weidong, it may be to be more cordial, but it is not difficult to see that Zhang Weidong has no weight in her heart, at most he is just a young and promising junior who can be valued by Duan Wei.
After shaking hands with Zhang Weidong, Tang Xuhong turned his gaze to Duan Wei again, and said with a sad face: "Duan Shuji, there is an old friend of my father who came to visit today, and my father is talking about it now, and I don't know if I can find time to talk to you in the morning, or ......."
"Then let's wait. Zhang Weidong was concerned about the safety of Lu Yafen's father, and didn't want to make another appointment, so he interrupted when he heard the words.
A trace of displeasure flashed on Tang Xuhong's face when he heard this, a wealthy family like them attaches great importance to the respect and inferiority of the elders and the young. Just like her father Donald, even if she is a grandson and granddaughter, in addition to the core figures in the three generations, if you want to see him, you don't want to see him, you also need to greet Donald's chief of guard in advance, let him mention it to Donald, Donald nodded and agreed, and he (she) came to see his grandfather.
This may also be the difference between wealthy families and ordinary families, they get the status, glory, power, and wealth they want, but at the same time, they also lack some of the family warmth and affection of ordinary people.
Zhang Weidong's sudden interruption just now, and the proposal to make his own decisions, in Tang Xuhong's opinion, was already considered disrespectful, and he committed the following crimes. However, Zhang Weidong was not from the Tang family after all, and he was brought by Duan Wei, although Tang Xuhong was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't reprimand him, but he just looked at Duan Wei.
In the final analysis, whether to continue to wait or make another appointment, in Tang Xuhong's opinion, it is still up to Duan Wei to decide, not the young man in front of him.
Duan Wei naturally sensed that Tang Xuhong was a little unhappy, but he still nodded and said, "If you can, Wei Dong and I should wait here a little longer." ”
Today, Zhang Weidong is the protagonist, and he Duan Wei is just an introducer, since Zhang Weidong said to wait, Duan Wei naturally has to wait.
Seeing that Duan Wei "connived" at Zhang Weidong to such an extent, Tang Xuhong was a little unhappy in his heart, but also a little secretly suspicious. Duan Weiguan can achieve his current status, of course, he will not be a person without vision, how can he be so mediocre? You must know that this is the Tang family! One of the few political giants in the entire republic!
"You see I've been talking to you so much that I forgot to invite you to sit inside. There is also a small sheet in the paragraph, please book. Tang Xuhong quickly suppressed the unhappiness and surprise in his heart, smiled and led Duan Wei and Zhang Weidong to the living room of the wing, and then asked someone to bring tea.
Duan Wei was a member of the Tang family, since Tang Lao couldn't meet him for the time being, Tang Xuhong didn't want to snub him, and when he saw that they insisted on staying, he sat aside to accompany them.
"Xiao Zhang shouldn't be too old this year, right?" Tang Xuhong and Duan Wei said a few words of homely things, and chatted about the recent things in the place and the country, and finally couldn't resist the curiosity in their hearts and led the words to Zhang Weidong.
"I'm twenty-three years old. Zhang Weidong drank. Tea, replied with a smile.
"It's not easy to be able to get a paragraph at the age of twenty-three!" Although he already knew that Zhang Weidong should be very young, Tang Xuhong was still taken aback when he heard the exact age.
Although Tang Xuhong's words were surprised, at the same time, she also vaguely expressed her dissatisfaction with Duan Wei's importance for such a young man, at least she was dissatisfied that Duan Wei had brought such a young man to visit Donald.
Donald is the founding general, how can anyone see him? let alone such a young descendant.
Duan Wei didn't mention Zhang Weidong's personal information very specifically when he went to the study to call, but just told Tang Lao's guard chief that he wanted to introduce a strange person to Tang Lao, and of course he also faintly mentioned the matter of Somali pirates. Out of trust in Duan Wei, the former beloved general, this led to Duan Wei and Zhang Weidong's trip today.
It's just that Duan Wei didn't expect things to go wrong, and Tang Lao didn't see it, but he saw the fourth lady of the Tang family first. If he saw Donald directly, even if Donald was prejudiced against Zhang Weidong's age, Duan Wei could naturally ask Zhang Weidong to show a thing or two. This is also necessary, after all, you have to participate in the rescue operation, how can you make Tang Lao nod and agree without showing some skills? But if it was Tang Xuhong, Duan Wei would never be able to open this mouth. Zhang Weidong is a strange person in the world, and he is not a trick in the rivers and lakes, so how can he ask him to show his hands for Tang Xuhong's prejudice. Not to mention that Zhang Weidong will be unhappy about this, Duan Wei will feel that he has no face.
What kind of little person is the third-in-command of a province? In addition to the fact that the entire Tang family can give him advice, even Tang Xingbang, the current helmsman of the Tang family, has to respect him a little.
However, Tang Xuhong is the fourth lady of the Tang family after all, and she is also a senior national cadre, since she has repeatedly expressed her dissatisfaction vaguely, Duan Wei is not good to pretend not to know, and said with a smile: "Director Tang, don't look at Wei Dong's youth, he is a person with great ability, and I usually don't invite him to come, so what do you say?"
Tang Xuhong was naturally skeptical when she heard this, she was not a person who had never seen the world, nor was she a person who had never seen great skills, like Zhang Weidong, she really couldn't see any great skills. But what a character like Duan Wei said, she had to believe a little.
"Oh, then I'm really blind. By the way, Wei Dong, where do you currently work?" Tang Xuhong asked with a smile, but the title was changed from Xiao Zhang to Wei Dong.
"I am now a lecturer at Wuzhou University. Zhang Weidong said truthfully.
"Oh, I was already a university lecturer at the age of twenty-three, and now university teachers, in addition to administrative staff, basically require a master's degree or above for teaching teachers. I got my master's degree at the age of twenty-three, well, it's not easy. Tang Xuhong used to be a professor in the university, and later transferred to the National Natural Science Foundation of China as the deputy director.
"Director Tang, you look away again, Wei Dong has already obtained a doctorate. Duan Wei interjected with a smile, but secretly thought in his heart, what is the doctor, Wei Dong is still an expert of the Tiannan Provincial Medical Expert Group
