Chen Xiao stood at the door, looking at the old man's weakened back. Although his talisman extended the old man's life, some things cannot be stopped when a person gets old. No matter what method is used, sooner or later the old man will have one day
He wanted to leave himself. Thinking of this, Chen Xiao felt a little sour in his heart. Suddenly, a line of tears welled up from his eyes. Chen Xiao couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, why don't you eat? You have to eat on time."
"
"Xiao'er, are you back?" The old man hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Aren't I waiting for you? Besides, it's boring for my old man to eat alone, and those little bastards are even less happy.
Every time I ask them to eat with me, they are all silent. So, I don’t think it’s interesting at all. I have to eat with my own children so that I don’t feel restrained.”
"Okay, I'll eat with you!" Chen Xiao nodded hurriedly.
The grandfather and grandson were sitting in the restaurant, and a group of guards began to work in a hurry. Dishes were brought in from the kitchen one after another, and some seasonings that had been prepared early were thrown into the pot and started to stir-fry. The guards
Not only do they serve as guards, but they also serve as assistants in daily life. The guards also need to take care of the kitchen work. In short, they need to worry about the old man's daily life and security work.
That night, the old man drank two glasses of wine. He was full and full, and he talked more. It was not until late at night that the old man took a shower and went to bed. Chen Xiao lay in his room. As a soldier from a family, Chen Xiao
Lived since childhood
That kind of simple and simple life, the decoration in the room is very simple in the capital. However, Chen Xiao never minded. Smelling the warm smell of the sun on the quilt, Chen Xiao also yawned, and then entered
Dreamland.
The next day was New Year's Eve. On this day, the whole city of Beijing was lively. Chen Xiao followed the guards and went to the streets to buy New Year's goods, and drove carts of New Year's goods home. Because Yang Yingying's family was coming to the capital this time,
The old man has increased the expenses for this year's New Year's celebration a lot. The guards bought a lot of precious gifts, which were given to Yang Yingying's family when they left. A pickup truck returned with a load of things.
Chen Mansion.
"Chen Xiao." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came. Chen Xiao hurriedly turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Zeng Fan. This boy was now a mature man. The man was in his thirties. At this time, Zeng Fan
He is already the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee in the Beijing Municipal Committee, and he has a bright future. This kid's success is thanks to Chen Xiao's advice to him back then. Otherwise, this guy would not have been able to take the right path.
"Oh, it's you." Chen Xiao jumped out of the pickup truck and left the work of moving the goods to the guards. Chen Xiao walked towards Zeng Fan, handed Zeng Fan a cigarette, and then smiled
Said: "What have you been busy with lately?"
"What can I be busy with? I just had a holiday yesterday." Zeng Fan touched the meticulous hair on his head with his hand. This guy was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he looked like a successful person. However, this guy is already the Secretary-General of the Beijing Municipal Committee, and
This can be regarded as a relatively successful step in Ren's journey. Chen Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "You are doing well now. You look like a human being. You are indeed promising."
"Go and compare with you, I'm not even the slightest bit worse." Zeng Fan chuckled and said, "Why don't you find a nice place to sit?"
"Okay." Chen Xiao nodded and agreed. The two of them found a coffee shop nearby. In this era of coffee shops everywhere, it is so easy to find a place to chat. Chen Xiao smiled and said: "You guys should
You’re not coming to see me specifically, are you?”
"It's true." Zeng Fan chuckled and said, "I heard from Xi Shiqin that you were back, so I made a special trip. The first is to thank you for your guidance. The second is, of course, I have something to ask you for."
"You are such a big official, and you still want me to give you a ****?" Chen Xiao was stunned.
"Go, you kid, don't bury me." Zeng Fan's face darkened and he said, "I'm just a secretary-general, how can I be compared to you, a major general?"
"As a major general, I was only appointed to take care of the old man's feelings, and I have no real power." Chen Xiao replied, smiling: "But you, the secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, are at least a deputy ministerial cadre, and you are
At such a young age, you already have such a powerful position. It seems that **** values you very seriously."
"I'm flattered." Zeng Fan chuckled. Indeed, Zeng Fan is a little proud now. Of course, all this has a very important relationship with the arrangements in his family, and another one is the relationship between him and Chen Xiao. How many people are targeting this
Position, how many people want to send their children to this position. As long as it is
If you get this position, you will have a great chance of promotion in the future. If you stay in this position for two or three years, you will be transferred to a municipality as a *********, such as Shanghai, Chongqing... places like these. In these places
After three to five years at the local level, they were directly transferred back to the central government to take up posts, or they simply took on top positions in various provinces.
How many dignitaries in the capital have such an upgrade path? These days, those who are capable are working at the grassroots level, and those who are incompetent are working as leading cadres. Chen Xiao took a sip of coffee and said: "Secretary, without a long word,
The fart doesn’t even make a sound.”
"This is true." Zeng Fan also admitted.
"By the way, what do you want to see me for this time?" Chen Xiao asked hurriedly.
"Look, I'm almost thirty, and I still don't have a wife. Are you anxious for me?" Zeng Fan's face suddenly turned red, and then he said, "I have fallen in love with the granddaughter of the Situ family, but Mr. Situ always remembers that I am young.
It was a mess at that time. I wanted to go to the house to propose marriage, but I was afraid of being kicked out by Mr. Situ."
"The granddaughter of the Situ family? Situ Nan?" Chen Xiao was stunned.
"That's right." Zeng Fan nodded hurriedly and said, "That's the little girl who used to follow me around when I was little and ask me to buy candies for her."
"Beast, Situ Nan is only twenty-three this year, right? You are already twenty-nine." Chen Xiao looked at Zeng Fan in astonishment.
"What does that have to do with it?" Zeng Fan hurriedly shook his head and said: "I have already established a relationship with Xiaonan. But now I just have to get through her grandfather. Alas, Mr. Situ refused to die, thinking that I am too carefree.
It’s too slutty. But you also know that was just when I was young. Now I am very motivated, but he doesn’t listen. Every time I go to his house, I am kicked out. One time, he almost threw water on me and drove me away.”
Phew...
Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Mr. Situ was famous for his fiery temper. He was almost a match for him. Unexpectedly, the old man's temper had improved now, but Mr. Situ's temper was still so hot. Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Who?
make you small
My wife used to do some romantic things, soaking in heaven and earth all day long. Who in the aristocratic circle in the capital doesn't know about your previous romantic affairs? Who dares to marry their daughter to you? Wouldn't that be equivalent to sending their daughter to the world?
Pushing into the fire pit?"
"Go, that's all in the past." Zeng Fan glared at Chen Xiao, and then said: "Now I'm talking about business, I really want to marry Situ Nan, you kid, don't talk nonsense to me.
Is that okay?”
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Chen Xiao asked doubtfully.
"After I go to Zhongnanhai tomorrow, can you accompany me to Situ's house?" Zeng Fan looked at Chen Xiao with a smile and said, "How about it?"
"Then what's in it for me?" Chen Xiao chuckled.
"Don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable when things are done." Zeng Fan immediately said: "Besides, do we brothers still need to negotiate terms? From now on, I will work hard. If you need my help, just ask.
I promise to help you unconditionally. Isn’t that enough?”
"Haha, that's enough." Chen Xiao patted Zeng Fan on the shoulder and said, "I will bother you to cover him from now on."
"Go, you kid will make fun of me." Zeng Fan snorted disdainfully: "Who doesn't know that your kid is now very prosperous, and his business is getting bigger and bigger. If your kid comes back**
****, I guarantee that you will be in trouble. With your old man and **** supporting you, who can be your opponent? It's a pity that your kid is not interested in officialdom."
"Let's not talk about this..." Chen Xiao waved his hand.
Chen Xiao does not have much interest in officialdom, and Chen Xiao’s character is not a **** person. What kind of character does a ****** person need? A **** person
The most important thing is personality. A person with his own personality cannot adapt to the officialdom. Chen Xiao's personality is too distinct. Moreover, the best people are required to have a smooth personality, not easily angry, and able to tolerate people who can't stand scolding.
As for Chen Xiao's character, let alone tact, he is just a square lump of iron, and most people can't move him. Moreover, Chen Xiao's temper completely inherited the old man's genes, and he is irritable. Finally, Chen Xiao needs to tolerate others.
It would be even harder to get scolded by someone. Even if there are two giants behind him to support him,
Chen Xiao cannot stay in the officialdom for a long time even if he holds on to Chen Xiao. Once these two giants leave, Chen Xiao will be left alone. It is impossible for anyone to obey Chen Xiao. Therefore, instead of ending up like this in the future
It would be better not to have sex in the first place if ten thousand people add insult to injury.
Chen Xiao and Zeng Fan chatted in the coffee shop all afternoon. Seeing that it was almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Xiao hurriedly said goodbye to Zeng Fan. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner. Chen Xiao
When Xiao hurried home, he saw the security guards busy pasting couplets. Two huge red lanterns were hung at the door of Chen's house. The lanterns were covered with light bulbs, exuding joy under the red lanterns.
"Master, are you back?" Guard Xiao Liu looked at Chen Xiao excitedly and said, "The old commander is waiting for you to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. For this year's New Year's Eve dinner, the old man personally made a lot of dumplings, and they were all
It’s your favorite crystal shrimp dumpling, young master.”
"Really?" Chen Xiao was a little surprised. It was rare for the old man to cook. It was once in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, the old man took the initiative to cook today, which really surprised Chen Xiao. Could it be because Yang Yingying and her family were coming?
I was visiting, so the old man tried his cooking skills first? I guess there was nothing else besides this happy event. The old man knew that people from the Yang family were coming to discuss marriage, so he was very excited.
