Mr. Chu and Nangong Jinghong seemed to have been chatting for more than an hour. For old people of their age, this time was really not short, so Mr. Chu's health doctor frequently raised his wrist to look at his watch, obviously
A silent reminder.
Although Ye Kai also saw it, he didn't interrupt.
He was proficient in the art of gas reading and could see that Mr. Chu was in good physical and mental condition. A long and appropriate conversation would also help his physical and mental health. Moreover, this was just a private meeting and nothing sensitive was discussed.
Political issues don’t require much thinking.
Considering this, Ye Kai did not interrupt the conversation between the two old men.
However, after a while, the health doctor finally moved Miss Chu out. She walked in with a smile, "Mr. Nangong, grandpa, don't be busy chatting now. It's almost noon. We'll be in the kitchen later."
We have to arrange lunch. Do you have anything in particular that you want to eat?"
"I don't have taboos. Guests can do as they please." Nangong Jinghong said with a smile.
He looked at Miss Chu Chu Jingxuan carefully and knew that this was Ye Kai's fiancée. Although Chu Jingxuan was also a beauty, she was not up to the level of a top beauty. She was just the granddaughter of the old Chu family.
, it has indeed brought her a great bonus. Anyone who marries her will be a precursor to success.
Seeing Chu Jingxuan, Nangong Jinghong thought of his granddaughter Nangong Yun, and thought that in terms of appearance and wealth, Nangong Yun still had the advantage and should be able to compete with Miss Chu.
Thinking of this, Nangong Jinghong couldn't help but sigh. If the previous dynasty had not been destroyed, how could his granddaughter, Nangong Jinghong, be inferior to Chu Feng's granddaughter in terms of status?
In this era, Nangong Yun's net worth is much higher than that of the children of the four major families. Even the bald leader has to face her existence. It's just a pity.
However, Nangong Jinghong looked at Ye Kai again and felt that although Nangong Yun was a bit weak in this regard, if she followed Ye Kai, even if she could not become a top figure in the powerful circle, her child would eventually
It will also make up for the little regret in Nangong Jinghong's heart.
It is Nangong Jinghong's last wish to allow the descendants of the Nangong family to return to politics. Although he will definitely not be able to see it at this moment, as long as Ye Kai is around, this matter must not be difficult to accomplish.
"There are distinguished guests here today, so let's serve some specialties from the capital city." Mr. Chu thought for a moment and said. Then he added, "A chef has just come to the family and is good at making Russian-style dishes. Let him
Also show off your skill and let Mr. Nangong evaluate it."
"Russian flavor, the red cabbage soup is indispensable." Nangong Jinghong is well-informed. He naturally knows Russian dishes, and he laughed when he heard this.
"Haha, actually it is Russian flavor. It has been basically improved after arriving in China. But I don't know if Brother Nangong is used to it." Mr. Chu said.
"There should be no problem." Nangong Jinghong nodded, "I have been in Europe for many years. My eating habits still follow the traditions of my time in China. Speaking of which, the cooking of some dishes is very different from now."
When they were discussing what to eat for lunch, Chu Jingxuan pulled Ye Kai out.
"What's wrong?" Ye Kai asked.
"You really don't have a wink at all." Chu Jingxuan took Ye Kai's arm and complained, "Grandpa and the others are so old. If you let them chat for so long, it will have an impact on the body."
"That's it..." Ye Kai laughed when he heard this. She put her hands around Chu Jingxuan's waist and touched her beautiful buttocks twice, causing Miss Chu to pinch his waist with her hands.
After a while, he stopped and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I have been paying attention to their complexion. If it exceeds the standard appropriately, it is also good for the body. If it is too regular, it may not be the best choice for health. As the saying goes.
The way of civility and martial arts is to relax, and the same is true for maintaining health."
The two of them had only spoken a few words when Ye Kai's cell phone rang. After hearing this, he said, "Hey, let's go in and turn on the TV for the old men."
"Watching TV?" Chu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, but she followed Ye Kai back to the room and turned on the TV.
It happened to be the hourly news time, and Ye Kai selected the channel to CCTV 1.
The two old men were discussing the recipe and were a little curious when they saw Ye Kai's actions. However, as soon as the news program started, they heard a brief announcement. The first one was that the leaders of the party and the country cordially met with the patriotic overseas Chinese Nangong.
Important news about Mr. Jinghong.
"Patriotic overseas Chinese..." Nangong Jinghong couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this.
He has been away from the mainland for almost half a century. Although he has lived a very prosperous life in Europe, the name overseas Chinese has always been synonymous with loser for him. If not, he would not have moved his family to Europe.
Avoid disaster.
However, the TV news did not exaggerate Nangong Jinghong's official status in the previous dynasty too much, but focused on the huge scale and business scope of the Nangong Consortium. The most important point is that the Nangong Consortium is about to fully enter the mainland market.
Contribute to the economic development of the mainland.
Regarding business exchanges, Nangong Yun's father Nangong Shouzhuo was in charge. They had relatively in-depth cooperation with the Ministry of Economic and Trade, and the provinces seemed to have caught wind of this and wanted to get some benefits from this cooperation.
Ye Kai estimated that Nangong Shouzhuo would be extremely busy for at least the next six months. Even if he was not involved in any specific business, just the invitations to eat, drink and visit from high-level cadres were enough for him to cope with.
"Being able to return to one's roots is considered very good luck." Mr. Chu seemed to have seen what Nangong Jinghong was thinking, so he said to him, "How many powerful people back then ended up dying in a foreign country? Brother Nangong's
I am lucky enough to have a happy life, but now I have fulfilled my wish, which is enough to comfort me."
"That's what Brother Chu said. I had many old friends back then. Some went to Taiwan, some went to the United States, and some stayed. Now look at it, they all ended up in different ways." Nangong Jinghong said.
, "If I had gone to Taiwan, I would have been suppressed and ostracized. Whether I could survive is hard to predict. But I think I would have probably become a victim of political struggle. If I had stayed on the mainland, the outcome might not have been a good one."
"It's not just bad." After hearing this, Ye Kai curled his lips and said, "Mr. Nangong, if you had stayed on the mainland, the big trees at the graves could be hugged by two people, or you wouldn't even be able to find the graves."
After hearing this, Mr. Chu pointed at Ye Kai. He was obviously dumbfounded, but he did not refute, because this matter was indeed as Ye Kai said. Based on Nangong Jinghong's experience, he wanted to avoid the torment of those ten years.
It is basically impossible. For him, there is only a difference in the way of death, and there is no possibility of immortality.
Even Mr. Chu himself suffered a certain impact back then, but he was shrewd, foresighted, and his economic achievements were unparalleled. He was deliberately protected by his leader, so the impact was not that severe.
"Hu Xijiang was a smart man back then. Although his student was already a high-ranking official and tried his best to keep him here, he had a far-sighted vision and knew that there was no benefit to staying, so he left." Nangong Jinghong nodded and said, "
Facts have proved that by leaving, he was able to avoid disaster, but his high-ranking official student later suffered a misfortune and died, which cannot but be regretted."
In fact, although Hu Xijiang left, his second son stayed. Within a few years, he was forced to sever the father-son relationship with Hu Xijiang, but he was still struggled and later committed suicide during the anti-rightist campaign. His body was not retained.
"Things back then were too complicated, so it's okay not to mention them. The important thing is that we are still alive now, and we can still talk and drink and have fun. This is the greatest blessing." Mr. Chu waved his hands, obviously unwilling to recall those past events.
Those things that happened back then, even if we don’t mention them, it would be filled with blood and tears.
The two of them were talking and watching the TV news. After the news was over, Mr. Chu asked, "Brother Nangong, where do you plan to settle down when you come back this time?"
This issue is obviously important, and people in China have always been very concerned about it.
"I plan to live in Mingzhu. The climate there is more suitable for my body." Nangong Jinghong thought for a moment and then said to Mr. Chu.
"Oh, Pearl, that is of course excellent." Mr. Chu listened and nodded in agreement.
After hearing this, Chu Jingxuan became a little curious and asked Ye Kaidao in a low voice, "What do you mean? Why does it feel like there is a mystery in it?"
"Of course there are some opinions." Ye Kai explained in a low voice, "After Mr. Nangong returns, he naturally needs a place to stay. Considering his status, it cannot be a small city, so the only choice is the capital.
The three cities of Jinling and Mingzhu.”
"Then what's the difference?" Chu Jingxuan asked rhetorically. In her opinion, any of these three cities can meet Nangong Jinghong's living requirements, and there is no need to attach so much importance to it.
From a development point of view, Mingzhu is obviously the fastest, from a political status point of view, it is obviously the highest in Beijing, and from a cultural and living environment point of view, Jinling should be the best, so Chu Jingxuan feels that no matter which one of these three cities she chooses,
Any one is understandable.
"Of course there is a difference." Ye Kai looked at Chu Jingxuan, pinched her nose gently and said, "You are just indifferent to politics, so you don't understand the key here."
"Where you live has something to do with politics?" Chu Jingxuan was a little stunned after hearing this.
