On the first day of the New Year, Zhuge Mountain Villa, which had been hit by heavy snow all night, was covered with white snow and silver. With its ingenious buildings and unique layout, it looked like a European-style castle with a long history when viewed from a high altitude, which was refreshing.
In fact, this building began to take shape in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the era of the strong rise of self-employment, Zhuge Villa, whose wealth accumulation has increased exponentially, has become a landmark building in Yanjing. It is majestic and magnificent.
The wealth of Zhuge Villa is as great as that of the country.
This is the conclusion drawn by people who know Zhuge Villa. However, people only know that Zhuge Villa is very wealthy, but few people know the foundation behind it. Especially the second grandfather Zhuge who built this country.
Half a century ago, heroes from China gathered together, and many great figures emerged. However, the three heroes of Zhuge's sect were among the best, and they shone brightly.
Let’s talk about the youngest third grandfather first, who is now in his early seventies and holds the rank of lieutenant general. He has been in the army since he was a child. He is more than 20 years younger than the eldest brother who is in politics, and nearly 20 years younger than the founder of Zhuge Villa.
When his two eldest brothers were leading the way in their respective fields, he was just a new recruit under the age of twenty. He did not have time to participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, but he was never absent from several famous tough battles in China. He
He is a real fighting hero of the older generation who survived the battlefield. And because the eldest brother and second brother are both giants in the field, his knowledge and vision have been strengthened to some extent. He has a bright and glorious life.
Perhaps in today's military department, he may not have the highest rank or the greatest power. But even those who are big bosses of the Military Commission, or the top figures of the Military Commission who have entered the Politburo, see this man who is peeing surrounded by a halo, and his qualifications and background are even more...
The astonishingly solid old general had to serve him without any temper and greet him politely. So he could talk to General Baicheng Ling without any courtesy, and he could also yell at the big guys who were higher in rank and more powerful than him.
They blew their beards and banged the table.
Why?
Because his influence is great enough. Those comrades and subordinates who joined the army with him back then and are now developing quite well are not one of them. In addition, the veteran general has a solid character, and he is not the kind of veteran who has to climb to the top to be considered solid.
Therefore, many military leaders now have deep admiration for General Zhuge. As long as he does not make a big mistake that cannot be repaired or is a traitor to the enemy, even if some people want to punish this general who will retire in a few years.
The old general didn't have the guts either.
In fact, this old general who is still alive today is, strictly speaking, the least influential among the three heroes. Not to mention the great grandfather who has reached the top, Zhuge Hong, the founder of Zhuge Villa alone,
Jade's biological grandfather was the hottest business star in China and even Asia at that time. He studied in Europe when he was young, and later moved to the United States. He contributed money and effort to the country during the civil war, and actually lost all his wealth at the age of forty.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, during a difficult period when China was in dire straits and waiting for prosperity, this famous overseas patriot crossed the ocean again, gave up his luxurious and wealthy life abroad and returned to China. In response to the slogan of catching up with the United States, he devoted himself to national construction.
It can be said that he was one of the first turtles in the traditional sense in China. He was also a rare elite in an era when knowledge was severely lacking. After returning to China, he did not join the army and declined invitations to hold important positions. With his skills and advanced scientific and technological knowledge,
He dedicated his whole life to the prosperity of the country. Even his only son died due to a scientific research experiment in the third year after his marriage. That year, Zhuge Hongyu was only two years old.
No one has ever looked at or envied the wealth and power of Zhuge Villa. Because no one is qualified. Even the founding fathers, many of them received strong support from the second grandfather during the Anti-Japanese War. Even a certain founding father once
At the state banquet hosted by the second grandfather, he lamented: "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. But where does the barrel of the gun come from? You still have to spend money to buy it!"
It can be seen that in the eyes of those founding great men, Grandpa Zhuge made great contributions to the unity and prosperity of the country.
As for the great grandfather who came to power at the same time as the No. 1 Chief of the Southern Patrol and was once close to the First Heaven Regiment, he responded to the No. 1 Chief’s strategy at the moment when he truly aspired to his peak. The older generation of cadres stepped down and handed over the power to
Young man. But when the great grandfather’s application for resignation was put on the table, the No. 1 chief once said sincerely: You are younger than me. You can still lead the people for a few more years.
It is also the initiative of this generation of leaders to retire and go into seclusion that has created the current situation in China where the leadership team follows the steps step by step and does not abdicate only after death.
The size of Zhuge Villa is unparalleled. The terror and prestige of Zhuge Villa are by no means piled up with pure wealth. Instead, they have sufficient foundation and origins.
This is why when people mention Zhuge Villa, they can’t help but give a thumbs up and are not at all envious of this luxurious mansion with time-honored significance.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuge Hongyu returned to the villa after paying homage to her ancestors and parents. She took off her high heels, which were not too high, but at least they had heels. She stepped on her bare feet, which were whiter and softer than milk, in the boudoir.
On the soft carpet, he first took off his coat, then lay quietly on the sofa, picked up the milk prepared by the servant and took a sip.
According to common sense, Ouyang Feifei is definitely not qualified to come to Zhuge Villa to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. Zhuge Hongyu may be easier to get along with than Empress Dowager Xiao in private. At least she can smile, while Empress Dowager Xiao cannot. But outside, that
Step by step, Zhuge Hongyu relied on his skills and skills to secure Xiaoshan Villa on the pedestal. It was not enough for Zhuge Hongyu to act arbitrarily.
Why?
After all, Queen Mother Xiao is not the real Queen Mother, but Princess Zhuge is a real princess. This is the difference between the two. It is also the legacy and grandeur of Zhuge Villa.
When Ouyang Feifei came today, it wasn't because she suddenly had greater authority or gained Zhuge Hongyu's deeper trust. It was because Zhuge Hongyu asked her to come.
"Since the middle of last year, I have received nearly a hundred invitations. Some are from the military and some from politics. Of course, most of them are from the business world. Some are purely dinner parties, some are business exchanges. Some are because the other party wants you to attend.
Maybe it's to save face, maybe it's for ulterior motives." Ouyang Feifei said in detail and earnestly. "I helped you eliminate some unnecessary invitations. There are still eighty in total. They are all from before New Year's Eve.
"
Zhuge Hongyu's beautiful feet stepped lightly on the snow-white carpet, complementing her white jade-like skin and making them extremely gorgeous.
"Refining the key points." Zhuge Hongyu's soft and beautiful voice sounded softly, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Ouyang Feifei nodded, opened the statistical document, and said slowly: "The deputy mayor's mother celebrates her 80th birthday on the ninth day of the year. We will host a banquet for relatives and friends from all over the country. You will be the guest at table number one. You will sit at the same table with the birthday girl.
."
"You go." Zhuge Hongyu put down the milk glass.
Ouyang Feifei felt happy, then felt sad. She pursed her lips and said, "I understand."
The deputy mayor of Yanjing, a ministerial-level boss, invited the eldest lady to sit at table No. 1. However, the eldest lady refused and sent him there. On the one hand, it gave him more opportunities to perform, but it also made her quite embarrassed.
.
After a moment of recovery, Ouyang Feifei continued: "The cooperation with the military has been very smooth in recent years. The research and development and funding projects of various products have been progressing rapidly. General Lei personally organized a private dinner with a military nature. At that time
We will finalize the details of cooperation in the next ten years."
"You go." Zhuge Hongyu slowly stood up.
Ouyang Feifei opened her mouth and nodded slightly.
She is the most popular person around Zhuge Hongyu. Regardless of whether she is in business, politics or the military, she has accumulated extremely high prestige in recent years. It can be said that what she says represents Zhuge Hongyu's reputation to a large extent.
Meaning. But from a certain perspective, this is definitely a huge challenge for Ouyang Feifei. It is also a test of transformation and evolution.
According to common sense, although the eldest lady has a somewhat unpredictable temperament, she would not refuse a private party like General Lei's. Why did she let herself go lightly this time?
Ouyang Feifei suppressed her inner confusion and continued to report on several dinner parties that she thought would attract the attention of the eldest lady. But Zhuge Hongyu answered with two words: You go.
"Is there any more?" Zhuge Hongyu walked slowly towards the open balcony, his eyes falling on the green grass.
Ouyang Feifei was slightly startled. She seemed to understand something.
He patiently flipped through the invitations, as well as their contents and possible lists. Finally, he laid his eyes on an invitation.
"The number of dinner invitations received this year is 10% more than last year. And they will always invite a businessman who has returned from Wall Street. It is said that he made a name for himself in China when he left Yanjing." Ouyang Feifei glanced at the list on the invitation letter.
: "Call Cao Jingzhe."
"He has a dinner party tomorrow. There are quite a lot of people invited." Ouyang Feifei said tentatively.
"Go." Zhuge Hongyu turned around slightly, a faint smile appeared on that perfect angelic face.
Ouyang Feifei said with great embarrassment: "I don't know Cao Jingzhe. But I heard from my seniors that he is a great person. But he hasn't been back for more than 20 years. We went to his dinner party but not to others -"
Princess Zhuge has the right to refuse other people's invitations. Even the deputy mayor, even General Lei. She has this confidence, and the other party also knows her temper. But if she goes to Cao Jingzhe's dinner party, which she has not returned for more than 20 years, and refuses those
A big shot with the same status and powerful background doesn’t look good, right?
At the very least, we should treat everyone equally——
