Chapter 63 Feeling like old friends at first sight
He Jingsheng's face changed slightly, but he did not raise his head. He still concentrated on writing. In the end, he made a sharp stroke of his pen, penetrating the back of the paper, and finished it in one swipe.
He raised his head, looked at Xia Xiaoluo with admiration, and said with a smile: "Kid, do you still know this? Yes, children nowadays only know how to play games and drink Coke, but they are no longer interested in classical culture and other ancestral things.
."
There was a hint of sadness and dissatisfaction in his words, while He Shiyun smiled sweetly at her father behind his back and looked at him affectionately.
Xia Xiaoluo couldn't help but admire the calm and arrogant head of the county in front of him. He thought to himself that this person is quite prophetic. In the 21st century, the invasion of China by European and American pop culture is shocking, and at this time, it is only the first signs.
, He Jingsheng was able to foresee this problem keenly, which is not easy.
However, he did not dare to take credit and said: "Actually, my father taught me this. He likes calligraphy very much."
He Jingsheng patted Xia Xiaoluo's shoulder affectionately, went downstairs with him, and said, "Young man, I'm very impressed with you. When Wang Junwei held Director Qian hostage, you came up with a good idea."
He Shiyun couldn't help but feel elated. He's father had always been dignified and rarely praised others. Now that he was so complimentary and affectionate to her lover, when the Xia family came to propose marriage in the future, it would probably be easy to pass.
Thinking that a little girl of mine would have such thoughts, I felt ashamed again.
He Jingsheng went downstairs, and Xia Jindong, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up in shock and said: "County Magistrate He!"
Just now, Xia Jindong had always felt that something was a little strange, but now he realized that it was a lie that Xia Xiaoluo asked him to come to thank He Shiyun. The person who really wanted him to come to see him turned out to be the famous county magistrate He Jingsheng. He instantly understood his son's hard work.
He Jingsheng smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Sit down, don't be so polite at home. I heard that your son said that you like writing?"
"Well, I also like to paint a few strokes in my spare time." Xia Jindong saw that He Jingsheng was very kind, which was very different from the majestic person sitting on the rostrum, and he relaxed a lot.
"Which font do you like to write in?" He Jingsheng became interested.
"Ringshu, I like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and I also like his posts. What about you, County Magistrate He?" Xia Jindong asked.
"Don't call me my job title. It makes me tired. Just call me Lao He." He Jingsheng waved his hand and said with a smile. "I like Wei Bei. As for running script, I only write when I'm in a bad mood."
Xia Xiaoluo saw that what he had just practiced was running script, and thought to himself, could County Magistrate He be in a bad mood recently?
Most people who are not in the officialdom or don't know enough about the officialdom are envious of leading cadres, thinking that most of them have high income levels, have nothing to do every day to eat and drink, have good relationships, have public transportation when going out, and have public funds for food and drink.
In fact, this only shows the relaxed side of people in officialdom, but does not see the cruel side of the struggle behind the glamor of officialdom.
Officialdom is both a fame and fortune fair and a battlefield.
Anyone in power who has some brains is always on guard. It's easy to hide and avoid hidden attacks. On the battlefield, even the slightest mistake can lead to a huge difference. It's a life-and-death struggle.
There are those who are not in office, and there are those who have been working as junior clerks in their 40s and 50s. Their lives have been wasted so easily, with endless regrets and reluctance to retire.
Nine times out of ten, you are unhappy when you are an official. Although your life is much more comfortable, the struggle in officialdom is very cruel and stressful, and it is never easy.
It's not that easy to mess around in the system.
Moreover, in the era of commodity economy, the values within the system are distorted, and dedication is talked about every day, but no money is paid. The junior clerks endure the dissatisfaction of low income and try to get higher positions, but there is also a huge risk of not being able to get higher positions.
It was precisely because of this profound understanding that Xia Xiaoluo decided that he wanted to be a small powerful person, but there was no need for him to enter the officialdom.
When He Jingsheng looked at the gifts on the table, he felt dazzled, but he immediately smiled and said: "I never accept gifts, but today I'm thanking Shi Yun, so I will accept them."
"They said they were given to me, why did you accept them?" He Shiyun picked up the gifts and said charmingly, "They are all mine!"
One sentence made everyone burst into laughter, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became extremely harmonious.
He Jingsheng looked at his lovely daughter and joked: "Look, my daughter is very capable. This is legal income and intellectual achievements, and she is proud of it. Unlike me, a seventh-grade sesame official, I dare not accept gifts!"
The two men discussed calligraphy enthusiastically, and women naturally have women's topics. Xu Xiaoman chatted with He's mother, Gu Ying.
Xia Xiaoluo and He Shiyun looked at each other across the coffee table. Although they were sitting opposite each other, they were thousands of miles apart.
With her family present, He Shiyun had no choice but to look at Xia Xiaoluo with her lips pouting. Her eyes were pure and full of love, the kind of eyes unique to a girl who has just begun to fall in love. How could she be so lost that Xia Xiaoluo didn't dare to look directly at her.
He Shiyun mustered up her courage and said, "Mom, shall Xia Xiaoluo and I go out to play? It's so boring at home."
"Go, go."
He's mother was having a heated discussion with Xia's mother about which brand of refrigerator had better quality and was about to buy a refrigerator. They were chatting in a lively manner when she heard her daughter's request and waved her hand in agreement.
He Shiyun smiled sweetly at Xia Xiaoluo and stood up.
Xia Xiaoluo and He Shiyun walked out of the single villa.
He looked back at the towering villa of the He family, which was brightly lit, and had a dazzling but not dazzling light just like He Jingsheng himself.
In the life before his rebirth, this was probably a place that was beyond his reach. But in this life, his father, who had just been promoted to deputy director of the Health Bureau, was happily discussing calligraphy with the man who ranked second on the power list in Luoshui County.
From the looks of it, the two of them still seemed a bit reluctant to meet each other.
He sighed, knowing that his father's life trajectory had been seriously changed by him.
But today he met He Jingsheng, and his impression of people in the officialdom has changed. Officials are an organic part of administrative power, and many of them ask for orders for the people and think about benefiting the masses.
It should be the right choice for my father to side with He Jingsheng.
In the officialdom, there is no idle person, and you must stand in line. How to choose the right team and choose the right time to join the team is a profound knowledge.
The camphor trees in the county government compound blocked out the sun and exuded a warm and pleasant smell. The light of the street lamps was blocked a lot, leaving mottled audio and video. The two of them walked side by side on the corridor, surrounded by silence.
Xia Xiaoluo saw He Shiyun's eyes gleaming, following her steps like a little daughter-in-law, and felt moved in her heart, and couldn't help but hold her little hand.
He Shiyun's little hand trembled slightly in his palm, like a lightly beating heart.
When I handed over my hand to you, I also handed over my heart. He Shiyun thought a little sadly.
The two of them walked leisurely to the opposite side of the county party committee compound next door, and saw a black car speeding past and stopping abruptly at the entrance of the compound.
A middle-aged man got out of the car smelling of alcohol and vomited at the door. Suddenly, a stench of alcohol hit his face. The driver quickly got down to help him.
Xia Xiaoluo saw that the man who was vomiting was wearing a valuable Pierre Cardin suit, and his bearing was quite extraordinary. He had the idea to go to the store to buy him a bottle of drink, so he walked to the small store opposite.
He Shiyun then asked: "What do you want to do?"
Xia Xiaoluo pointed to the opposite side and said, "Buy a bottle of water for that person."
He Shiyun frowned and said, "Do you know who he is? Is he trying to flatter you?"
Xia Xiaoluo said: "Who is it?"
"He is Lu Junchao, secretary of the county party committee. You don't need to flatter him. There are plenty of flatterers."
Sure enough, a man who looked like a big boss came running over and said anxiously to the shop owner: "Hurry, hurry! Pass me a bottle of drink."
There were many black pockmarks growing on his plump face. Xia Xiaoluo couldn't count them all at a glance.
He took a bottle of drink, threw in a 100 yuan note, and ran away in a hurry without waiting for the shop owner to change.
Xia Xiaoluo asked: "Who is this person? He is very wealthy."
"Dong Jiuxing. Haven't you heard of Dong Ji?"
"Oh!" Xia Xiaoluo suddenly realized - this person is the leader of the billion-dollar counterfeit village who wants to marry Liu Yue.
Of course he had heard about Dong Ji. This was a well-known counterfeiting village located in his hometown of Changhe Township. There had been many wealthy owners in that village. However, in 1998, this awesome billion-dollar village
They were wiped out, and Dong Jiuxing also ended his life with a 5-cent bullet.
The fortune teller said that he is a "nine-star gathering, and he will surely become a great person."
However, Dong Jiuxing was a bit of a late bloomer. He had a bad fate in his early years. He suffered losses in every business he did and he still had not found a wife even in his thirties, until he met Lu Junchao, who was the head of Changhe Township at the time.
With the support of Lu Junchao, he led the villagers of Dongji to start a business by making fake cigarettes and fake wine, and now it has become a well-known "Billion Yuan Village". With the support of his steady flow of funds, Lu Junchao has also settled in Luoshui County.
The position of county party secretary.
The nine huge pockmarks on Dong Jiuxing's face really confirm the saying of the fortune teller who made his living by cheating and abducting people: "When nine stars gather together, they will surely become something great."
At this moment, Dong Jiuxing was holding mineral water in one hand and patting Lu Junchao's back gently with the other. His pockmarked face was full of concern, and Xia Xiaoluo thought to himself, Damn, you are so affectionate, you are so gay!
With a clear understanding of Dong Jiuxing's fate, thousands of threads in his mind suddenly spun rapidly. Dong Jiuxing, Lu Junchao, and He Jingsheng were spinning around in his mind. A plan gradually became clear, but there was something missing, something missing.
Conditions, he had such a feeling.
When I got home in the evening, my parents had already returned home. When Xia Jindong saw him coming back, he pinched his ears and said, "Son, are you fooling your dad again?"
The ears were twisted very lightly, but the joy in the tone was very strong.
Xia Xiaoluo protested: "Why did I lie to you? Aren't we going to He Shiyun's house?"
"It's true that it belongs to He Shiyun's family, but you didn't tell me that it's also County Magistrate He's family!" Xia Jindong said gloomily. "However, County Magistrate He is pretty good, he's still well-educated and well-educated. In the past, because he was the county magistrate,
I didn’t want to curry favor with him, but I didn’t expect this close encounter and found that he was not a bad person, so I made friends out of nowhere.” Xia Jindong patted his head and sighed with a smile.
