"Let's go, I'll go up and see Comrade Xiao Lu." Zheng Guohong said.

When Liao Gufeng heard this, he led the way and asked casually, "Comrade Guohong, why haven't you stayed in the capital for two more days? Are you back so soon?"

"All the people who should visit have visited have nothing to do in the capital. I thought I would come back to work the day after tomorrow, so I would just come back early this afternoon." Zheng Guohong said.

After hearing Zheng Guohong say this, Liao Gufeng knew that Zheng Guohong was coming back early might have been related to his daughter's car accident. He made a special trip to come back to visit him in advance.

I knew it in my heart, and Liao Gufeng didn't point it out. I could only understand this kind of thing, but it would be boring to say it. After looking at the time, Liao Gufeng said, "Comrade Guohong, it's quite hard for you to travel today. I'll treat you later. Let's find a small restaurant nearby. How about having a couple of drinks?"

"That's good. We haven't had a drink for a long time, right? We're just taking a drink tonight." Zheng Guohong responded with a smile. Liao Gufeng's words were just right, because he happened to want to chat with Liao Gufeng alone.

Zheng Guohong's original itinerary was to return to Huangyuan on the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year tomorrow, but he temporarily changed his itinerary and returned to Huangyuan in advance. After getting off the plane for a short rest, he asked someone to arrange the car to come directly to Sanjiang.

The reason why he returned to Jiangdong early was that Zheng Guohong stayed at home for one night was nothing, and the second was that he wanted to visit Lu Qian. The deeper reason was that Zheng Guohong had to talk to Liao Gufeng in person after visiting some heavyweights in the past two days. This was related to the important layout at some levels, so Zheng Guohong rushed back in advance. Otherwise, if Liao Gufeng went back to the northwest, it would be more troublesome to talk to Liao Gufeng in person. Some things were better than talking in person on the phone.

The two went upstairs together. After entering the ward, Zheng Guohong cared about Lu Qian's situation and told Lu Qian to take good care of her health. After not staying in the ward for too long. It was already very late now. Zheng Guohong knew that Lu Qian, as a patient, needed a good rest.

After coming out of the ward, Zheng Guohong wanted to visit Qiao Liang again. After thinking about it, Zheng Guohong said to Liao Gufeng, "I will visit Comrade Xiao Qiao again tomorrow morning. It will be quite late. I guess he will rest, so I won't disturb you."

Zheng Guohong laughed and said, "If that kid Qiao Liang knew that you, the top leader in the province, cares so much about him, I think he would be able to jump up even if he falls asleep."

"Comrade Gu Feng, Xiao Qiao is still very outstanding, so it is natural for me to visit him." Zheng Guohong smiled. When he said this, Zheng Guohong glanced at Liao Gufeng. He could feel that Liao Gufeng mentioned Qiao Liang with a kind of love and concern from the inside out, which made Zheng Guohong even more aware. Lu Qian and Qiao Liang's interactions were obviously acquiesced by Liao Gufeng. Otherwise, how could Liao Gufeng let his daughter go home with Qiao Liang for the New Year? No wonder Liao Gufeng praised Qiao Liang in front of him repeatedly, as if he had long regarded Qiao Liang as a son-in-law.

Zheng Guohong undoubtedly misunderstood the relationship between Lu Qian and Qiao Liang, thinking that the two young people were dating, otherwise Lu Qian would not have gone home with Qiao Liang for the New Year. He never expected that Lu Qian and Qiao Liang were shaved and had a hot head.

The two talked and walked along the street outside the hospital. Because it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, many restaurants on the street had not opened yet. It took them a long time to find a small restaurant.

In fact, as the two of them, Sanjiang can arrange a special reception, but they obviously don’t want to disturb local cadres.

After ordering a few dishes at will, Zheng Guohong smiled and said to Liao Gufeng, "Comrade Gu Feng, when was the last time we drank?"

"I can't remember it, it must have been quite a long time ago." Liao Gufeng said.

"Yes, it's been a long time ago. When we reach our level, we have to follow people around us as soon as we go out. Sometimes we are not that free." Zheng Guohong said.

"Yes, we didn't bring the people around us today, and this feeling is quite good. In fact, freedom is relative. Whether it is ordinary people or officials, no one has absolute freedom. Whether it is the constraints of the law or some conventional moral codes of conduct, people live in this society, in fact, are bound by rules and regulations." Liao Gufeng said with a smile.

"Yes, no rules can make you a square line." Zheng Guohong laughed, then changed the subject and said, "Comrade Gu Feng, An Zhe called me to wish me a New Year yesterday morning. I was still joking with him that he should not be let go before, but we, Jiangdong, have lost a talent."

"What, Comrade Guohong saw that An Zhe is doing well in the northwest now, and regrets letting the person go?" Liao Gufeng looked at Zheng Guohong with a smile.

"No, I shouldn't have let anyone go before, I'll be poached by you." Zheng Guohong said with a smile.

"Comrade Guohong, you are wrong. An Zhe was transferred to the northwest. That was the result of the above-mentioned comprehensive considerations based on the actual situation in the northwest and the training and appointment of cadres." Liao Gufeng said with a smile.

"Comrade Gu Feng, if you say this, it would be boring. You don't admit it if you poached our outstanding cadres in Jiangdong." Zheng Guohong smiled. If it weren't for Liao Gu Feng's operation and strong recommendation from the above, how could An Zhe be transferred across provinces and would be promoted and reused so quickly? But then again, when An Zhe was about to be transferred, Liao Gufeng actually communicated with him, and the two of them would be more joking.

Zheng Guohong suddenly mentioned this matter, which was actually to lay the foundation for the next topic.

After a pause, Zheng Guohong continued, "Comrade Gu Feng, do you want to train An Zhe as your successor?"

"I really admire An Zhe very much. With An Zhe's ability, he can fully display his talents on a larger stage. If he can go further in the future, I believe he has enough ability to do it." Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "But at An Zhe's level, our appointment is not the final decision."

Hearing Liao Gufeng say this, Zheng Guohong glanced at Liao Gufeng calmly. Although it was not up to them to decide on the appointment of cadres at An Zhe, they could obviously play some role, especially Liao Gufeng, who will soon go a step further. His voice and influence are undoubtedly far beyond his own. If Liao Gufeng wants to train An Zhe as his successor, then An Zhe will undoubtedly receive greater support from Liao Gufeng. His hope of furthering in the future may be quite large.

However, even if An Zhe takes a step further, there will be no conflict with Zheng Guohong to talk to Liao Gufeng tonight. To some extent, the interests of both sides are consistent.
