The two cars drove on the road for nearly forty minutes and finally arrived near the Imperial City. The cars were wandering around in the criss-crossing alleys. Looking around, they saw a series of courtyard houses with the characteristics of the capital city. Those courtyards had experienced countless wind and rain.
, and the vermilion gate with unchanged appearance exudes dazzling light under the sunlight, as if it is still telling memories from the depths of history. According to Wei Xiaoyue, at this time, it can still be seen in the imperial city.
Most of the people who occupy a place in the courtyard are not ordinary people.
"The depth of the sea is as deep as the sea upon entering the Marquis." The people who live in these deep houses and courtyards must be extraordinary people with great strategies and political wisdom. Zhou Jing's eyes fell through the car window and fell on the mottled green bricks and green tiles.
On the top, the sound of the Huqin seemed to be ringing in my ears, and a kind of singing like a Peking Opera was also quietly ringing in my ears. For politicians who are high in the temple, their lives are probably never ending every day.
It is a drama, and the excitement on the stage only belongs within the high walls and has always been kept secret.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of a courtyard where a guard was standing. Two heroic soldiers in military uniforms stood beside the gate. Zhou Jing got out of the car and walked to the Cadillac behind.
, opened the car door and asked Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Huang Yalin to get out of the car. After Deputy Secretary Huang got off the car, his eyes fell on the door, looking at a large banyan tree with lush branches, he stopped, pointed with his hand, and said with deep emotion
: "This is a truly wealthy family. The history carried by one tree can be written for hundreds of years."
Zhou Jing also deeply believed that although the ancestral home in his hometown did not have much economic value, it became difficult to let go just because of the unforgettable memories. However, under the roots of the imperial city, these courtyards, large and small, were scattered all over the place.
Extraordinarily precious cultural landscapes that have withstood the wind and rain and gone through vicissitudes of life are like business cards that will never fade in this capital city. What they represent is also the condensed modern history.
Out of respect for the owner, everyone looked solemn and with an almost pious worship complex, they lined up and filed in. This is a typical courtyard house. After passing through the second gate, they came to the main courtyard and saw the courtyard.
There are all kinds of rockery trees, including jujube trees, crab apples, and Chinese toon trees planted against the wall. The small hanging flower door and the lotus vat in front of it form an extremely interesting courtyard scene. The carved railings, corridor columns, and
The starlings hanging under the eaves give people extremely pleasant visual enjoyment.
"Secretary Huang, let's go have dinner first!" Wei Xiaoyue stopped, turned to look at Huang Yalin, and said in a low voice.
Huang Yalin smiled, looked around, and said softly: "No need, we are on the plane and have already had lunch."
Wei Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered: "At this time, the old man is probably taking a lunch break and will not wake up until later."
Huang Yalin groaned and nodded: "Okay, let's eat first. The lunch box on the plane is too small, and Xiao Zhou doesn't seem to be full."
With a smile on her face, Wei Xiaoyue led everyone into the third room in the west wing. The dining table inside was already filled with sumptuous dishes. When she opened the silver tableware, she saw that the dishes were exquisite and filled with fragrance, which made people want to eat.
, Huang Yalin is knowledgeable, and he realized that some of the dishes, which seemed simple, were actually famous dishes in the Manchu-Han banquet. Among them was Pinguanyan, Phoenix Tail and Big Skirt Wings, Dinghu Shangsu, but the wine was very ordinary, it was Jiuguijiu.
, everyone knew the rules and just ate their food without drinking. The restaurant was extremely quiet.
After dinner, we went to the chess and card room next door to rest. Zhou Jing had been here once before, but he was still very unfamiliar with the compound. He remembered that the last time he came here, he met Chen Xuefei’s sister, Chen Xueyi, who wanted to be a star.
I once had a dialogue duet, but as soon as I got in touch, I was pulled away by Shao Yanran. Thinking of that pretty girl who was a bit naturally stupid, I found it very interesting and kept shaking my head.
In fact, he knows very well that the film and television industry has always been a place of right and wrong, and the Jinghu Chen family is determined not to let her get involved. Her real way out is probably to rely on marriage to enhance political influence and then carry forward the family industry. Thinking of this
, I felt that Chen Xuefei might have made such a choice, and she felt a little more sad. After resting for about half an hour, Wei Xiaoyue came in like a little flower swaying in the wind, pushed the door open and entered the house, pursing her lips and saying: "Huang
Secretary, the old man is awake and in good spirits. He wants to talk to you."
"Okay." Huang Yalin did not dare to neglect, quickly took the briefcase, followed closely behind her, and walked slowly towards the main room.
Tang Huasheng stood in front of the window with a teacup in his hand, murmuring: "If I can earn such a fortune one day, my life will be worthwhile."
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, walked to his side, and said with a smile: "Tang Chu, why are you suddenly feeling emotional?"
Tang Huasheng sighed, held his hands on the window lattice, and said with some helplessness: "They say they stand up at thirty and have no doubts at forty, but at my age, I am still doing odd jobs around the leader, running around here and there, just eating and drinking. Speaking of which,
I’m really ashamed. The gap between my current life and my original ideal is so big. Sometimes when I think about it, I can’t bear to look back.”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said softly: "Tang Chu, you are now Secretary Huang's right-hand man, and you have won his respect and trust. As long as you continue to develop according to this momentum, given time, you will become a prosperous and prosperous person. The future is limitless, so there is no need to be grudge."
Where is Yu Huai?"
Tang Huasheng waved his hand, took a sip of tea, looked out the window, towards the main room, and said sourly: "Brother Zhou, people are really incomparable. Just like you, with the help of Mr. Wei, you have just arrived in the capital.
I have received a rare gift, which is really enviable.”
Zhou Jing knew clearly that the scene that had just happened at the airport had brought great excitement to Tang Huasheng. It was as if he had been stabbed in his heart and it was difficult to let go. He said softly: "Tang Chu, those are all things that have disappeared. I have not let go."
In my heart, I just want to do the things in front of me well."
"Yes!" Tang Huasheng was slightly absent-minded. After a while, he sighed, looked back, reached out and patted Zhou Jing's shoulder, and said kindly: "Don't worry, the boss has always been reliable in what he says and does. Since he agreed to let you go and train,
, it will definitely be fulfilled. I believe that it won’t be long before you will play an important role in the county below. That will really mean that the sea is vast and a fish can leap, and the sky is high and a bird can fly.”
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "Tang Chu, isn't it good to be in the provincial capital? After all, the provincial capital is rich in political resources and has more opportunities."
Tang Huasheng put down his tea cup, shook his head and said: "Brother, you may not know that the competition in the provincial capital is too fierce. There are more than ten carrots queuing up for each position. Moreover, the relationships between all aspects are intricate. Some inconspicuous characters are...
It has energy that cannot be ignored. If you don’t know the details, you will easily suffer losses. Relatively speaking, I prefer to go down there, where there is a vast world and a lot to do.”
Zhou Jing chuckled and said thoughtfully: "Tang Chu, have you mentioned this idea to Deputy Secretary Huang?"
Tang Huasheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "You can't mention it. If the boss really has that intention, he will definitely let it go in advance. If you don't talk about it and insist on fighting for it, problems will easily occur. If the boss forms a bad opinion, it will be difficult to change. Then
The gains outweigh the losses.”
Zhou Jing smiled, walked to the sofa and sat down, playing with the chess pieces, and said with a smile: "That's right, you have to take your time in everything, there is no need to rush!"
"Yes!" Tang Huasheng opened the window and let the fresh air from outside blow in. He closed his eyes and said softly: "I am afraid that no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy the courtyard house in Huangchenggen. Even the air is filled with...
The smell of power is intoxicating, this is the symbol of success!"
Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile and said softly: "Tang Chu, you may not be aware that Jinghu has been focusing on commercial activities over the years and has gradually lost its political color."
Tang Huasheng was startled for a moment, turned around, and said in surprise: "How is this possible? The Jinghu Group is so powerful, how can it stay away from the political stage? Mr. Chen is a respected figure after the founding fathers, and he is willing to stand out. Looking at the capital, there is nothing he can do.
Something that won’t work!”
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "Really, when I was studying at Harvard, I spent half a year with the eldest lady of the Chen family, and I understood some things. Back then, I experienced a relatively cruel political battle, which made many heroes feel discouraged.
Feeling cold, he gave up the opportunity to work hard in his official career and was willing to run in the mall. Jinghu can achieve its current momentum only because of Chen Lao's extraordinary business acumen."
Tang Huasheng was secretly surprised. He sat back next to Zhou Jing and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really secretive. You have such a deep connection with Jinghu Group, but you act so low-key. If Mr. Wei hadn't just punctured the window paper,
I’m afraid even the boss will be kept in the dark!”
Zhou Jing picked up the cup and said lightly: "Tang Chu, you have been working with Secretary Huang for a long time. You should know that compared with relationships, the superiors pay more attention to abilities. Everyone wants their subordinates to be smart and capable, far better than others.
It’s very easy to use.”
Tang Huasheng nodded and said softly: "That's true. Those who have no ability have been eliminated long ago. How can they gain a foothold in such a fiercely competitive place? To be honest, one's own ability and professionalism are always the first. Others
Although indispensable, it is secondary.”
"Yes!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, placed the chessboard, and continued: "Actually, the thinking of the Chen family in Jinghu is different from ours. He looks at the general trend. Power and capital actually go hand in hand. Power
When it gets bigger, it will naturally be able to capture capital, and vice versa."
After hearing this, Tang Huasheng sighed and nodded: "Yes, without the full support of capital, how can local political achievements be guaranteed? Those powerful big bosses have always been guests of leading cadres and are also responsible for economic development.
The main force, whether it is policies or resources, must be tilted towards them, so that we can better promote employment and develop people's livelihood. Is this also an objective law?"
