Zijin Mountain, located in Linjiang City, Jiangnan Province, is a famous scenic spot. Many scenic spots in Linjiang City are all on Zijin Mountain. Even the saying that Linjiang City is entrusted with dragons and tigers has evolved from the majestic momentum of Zijin Mountain and the magnificence of the mountains and rivers and cities. This shows that Zijin Mountain has beautiful scenery.

However, it is precisely because of the pleasant scenery of Zijin Mountain that many places here are specially designated as their villa areas by dignitaries. For example, the agency guesthouse of the Jiangnan Provincial Government was established here.

In addition to the hospitality of the provincial government, there is also an unlisted villa at the foot of Zijin Mountain. This place is also an industry of the provincial government, but it is not a guesthouse, but a place for some senior officials to take good care of their health after they retire. This place can also be understood as an old cadre activity center, but unlike the ordinary old cadre activity center, any old cadre who can live here must at least be at the level of a department with real power. This is the destination of Xiao Shufei and Chen Ping to Linjiang.

It is precisely because the elderly here are not simple that Concubine Xiao Shu and Chen Ping were strictly inspected when they entered the door.

After entering, Concubine Xiao parked her car in front of a house that looked like a palace, and then took Chen Ping into it.

According to Xiao Shufei, this is the leisure center for veteran cadres. Generally, at this time, most veteran cadres who live here should drink tea, chat and play chess here.

Judging from Concubine Xiao’s understanding of this place, it is definitely not the first time she has been here. Sure enough, when she and Chen Ping walked into the door, they happened to meet an old man. When the other party saw Concubine Xiao, they immediately smiled and said, “Isn’t this a little girl from the Xiao family?”

"Hello Uncle Liu." Concubine Xiao Shu said hello to the other party, then took out a box of tea from her bag and handed it to the other party, "This is the tea for you, the Sanqing Yunwu Tea from Jiangxi."

The old man took the tea from Concubine Xiao Shu and said, "The girl from the Xiao family is sensible. She has been so long and still remembers my taste."

"I can't forget such a unique taste of Uncle Liu!" said Concubine Xiao.

"What's unique? This is called a quirk. There are so many famous teas in the country that are not interested in it. I just like to drink this Sanqing Yunwu, which is not famous at all. But I won't talk about this anymore. You haven't been here for a long time. You don't know that Lao Luo and the others are all worried about you. Recently, even playing chess is listless. Come in with me and meet them."

As the old man said that, he took Concubine Xiao Shu in and went straight to the chess and card room. Then he shouted to the dozen old men playing chess and cards inside: "Old guys, who are you here?"

These old men were originally very dissatisfied with his yelling, but when they saw Concubine Xiao Shu at the door, they were obviously very happy and immediately surrounded him and said, "The girl from the Xiao family hasn't been here for a long time. I haven't seen her for such a long time. The girl is becoming more and more beautiful. Which man can marry a girl from the Xiao family in the future? It's really a blessing accumulated by her ancestors in eight lifetimes!"

Obviously, Concubine Xiao also had the experience of facing this kind of situation, so she calmly gave the gifts she brought to each other as she said and said to each other.

At this moment, an old man came up and said, "You old guys are so old that they don't set a good example for their juniors. They all ask for things like this, so you are so embarrassed!"

As the old man spoke, the chaotic scene before suddenly became quiet. Although the old men were jealous of the things in Concubine Xiao Shu’s bag, they didn’t dare to come up and ask for it. From this we can see that although these people have retreated, some of the power and status still exists. Here, it is obvious that this old man is the leader.

When Concubine Xiao saw this old man, she said to him: "Grandpa Zhong, you are still so fierce. By the way, this is the wine brought to you, which was brewed by my father himself."

As Concubine Xiao said this, he took a bag from Chen Ping and handed it to the old man. When he saw this, he immediately smiled and accepted it. Then, after waiting for Concubine Xiao to give all the gifts, he sat aside with Concubine Xiao.

After sitting down, Concubine Xiao first introduced to the old man and Chen Ping: "Grandpa Zhong, his name is Chen Ping, and he is the deputy mayor of our Luzhuang City; Chen Ping, this is Grandpa Zhong, who I mentioned to you before, and is the only provincial party secretary living here!"

In fact, Concubine Xiao had already told Chen Ping about the identity of the person who came to visit this time before coming, so now, when Concubine Xiao introduced, Chen Ping knew the identity of the other party. The old man's name is Zhong Shan, and he is the former secretary of the provincial party committee of Jiangnan Province. As for the specific time before this, it can be said that when he was still in power, Chen Ping was still in elementary school, and he was considered an older generation of proletarian revolutionary.

After Xiao Shufei introduced her, Chen Ping first said: "Hello Secretary Zhong. When I was very young, I heard my parents talk about your great deeds from Secretary Zhong. I didn't expect that I would be very honored to see you here today."

Faced with Chen Ping's compliment, Zhong Shan just nodded lightly and said, "Hello, it's also amazing that you can become the deputy mayor of Luzhuang City at such a young age. You are a hero and a boy!"

After saying that, Zhong Shan ignored Chen Ping. Chen Ping felt that it was normal for Zhong Shan’s attitude. After all, in front of the other side, he was just an unknown little person. He was able to talk to him because of Concubine Xiao. As for the kind of person who said that you have red lips, white teeth, and clear bones as soon as you meet, if you are not a liar, you must be mentally ill.

"You girl! I'm the only provincial party secretary here. I really don't know if you are praising me or scolding me," Zhong Shan said to Concubine Xiao Shu.

"Grandpa Zhong said this, of course, is praising you. Otherwise, with your bad temper, so many people here are afraid of you, so how dare I scold you?" said Concubine Xiao Shu.

"You girl! Your mouth is amazing!" Zhong Shan said helplessly to Concubine Xiao Shu, "Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. Are you very busy with work recently? You know, you haven't seen us old guys for a long time. You still think that you come every time, we old guys are very annoyed?"

Concubine Xiao Shu said: "Look at what you said, why do I feel annoyed about you? It's just that there are a lot of things happening at work recently."

Zhong Shan said with a oh, "You might as well tell me that girl. As long as you don't dislike my old bones, this is out of touch with the times, I can give you a staff officer."

"Grandpa Zhong, you used to be the secretary of the General Office of the Central Committee and gave advice to the leaders of the Central Committee. Now I am flattered to be able to give my party's staff. How dare I dislike you!" said Concubine Xiao Shu.

Zhong Shan waved his hand and said, "What year are you talking about? If you want to say it, just say it quickly."

Concubine Xiao Shufei said: "Actually, Grandpa Zhong, the matter is not too big. It's just that our Luzhuang got a heavy industry project from the central government a few months ago. I think Grandpa Zhong, you should know, right?"

Zhong Shan nodded, and Concubine Xiao continued, "It is because of this project that I don't know who I have offended. There have always been people who take this project or the surrounding problems of this project. They talked to me about the entire Luzhuang. But that's fine. Recently, the provincial government issued a document saying that it would be necessary for various places to purify the official style and discipline. I have a headache about this matter for a long time."

After hearing Concubine Xiao Shufei's answer, Zhong Shan pondered for a while, and then said to Concubine Xiao Shufei: "Xiao Yat-t-tell, in fact, some people and some things in the officialdom are like this. I really don't know why you, a girl, want to get into here. Fortunately, your matter is very simple. I believe it will be solved in a short time. Don't worry."

After getting Zhong Shan’s answer, Concubine Xiao immediately said, “Thank you Grandpa Zhong for your concern.”

"Xiao Yatou, if you really want to thank me, I will steal more wine your father brewed next time." Zhong Shan said.

"That won't work," said Concubine Xiao, "Grandpa Zhong, you have to pay attention to your health."

"Okay, okay, everything is listened to you, right?" Zhong Shan said.
