Seeing Luo Fei frowning, Zhao Xiaolan suddenly felt a little unsure. This guy was only thinking about getting up and achieving political achievements, and he didn't seem to care much about family construction.
Zhao Xiaolan said tactfully: "Lao Luo, don't say that. This is not fishing for money. First of all, it was Wei Xiaobei's initiative. The smooth progress of their big project in Jiangzhou really needs our care. Their project
If it is done, it will also help you achieve political achievements; secondly, I set up a company to take over their work to ensure the quality of their construction. This is a purely commercial behavior, which is called cooperation. Both parties are based on mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.
"
"Changing the soup but not the dressing is essentially the same thing?" Luo Fei snorted. Although Zhao Xiaolan said it tactfully, he still understood what she was thinking.
Luo Fei has always felt that he is an ambitious person, and truly ambitious people despise material things. After working in the system for so many years, Luo Fei likes to struggle, to make progress in the struggle, and to enjoy the benefits of victory in struggle.
His tension, excitement and pleasure.
Before becoming the mayor of Jiangzhou, Luo Fei experienced many struggles on his journey. The result of the struggle was basically that he was victorious. However, after returning to Jiangzhou, while partnering with An Zhe, he suffered repeated defeats.
Although this made him angry and frustrated, it did not hinder his love for fighting. Moreover, so far, the final result of his fight with Anzhe seemed that although he did not achieve a complete victory, he was not a loser either.
Thinking of this, Luo Fei couldn't help but feel that he was a real politician and felt that he seemed quite noble.
Hearing what Luo Fei said, Zhao Xiaolan smiled: "Old Luo, the material foundation has always determined the superstructure. Think about your progress over the years, which step can you take away from this? If you don't have a solid material foundation, can you really succeed?
Has it come this far?”
Zhao Xiaolan's words touched Luo Fei's heart. This is true. These days, if you want to make rapid progress, you must establish a close personal relationship with your superiors and get closer to the leader. And to get closer to the relationship, just rely on work.
It seems that this is not enough, and there are other ways. Of course, these other ways are inseparable from a certain material foundation. My own progress over the years is enough to prove this.
Zhao Xiaolan continued: "Also, Lao Luo, I fully understand that you are struggling for your ideals, but you cannot ignore family construction in your struggle. You cannot struggle with empty hands and an empty stomach. I am currently idle at home, so I can only
With your small salary, how can our family reach a new level? How can we provide our children with better educational resources? How can we lay a solid foundation for our children's future growth and development?"
Hearing Zhao Xiaolan mention the child, Luo Fei's heart moved.
Zhao Xiaolan added: "So, Lao Luo, you must realize, what is the ultimate goal of struggle? What is your responsibility to the family? What is our obligation to our children? Without sufficient material conditions, what will happen to us after retirement?
A stable and comfortable life and a lifetime of happiness for children come from this?"
Luo Fei was silent in thought.
Zhao Xiaolan continued: "The opportunity now is very rare. Firstly, you are in the position of the first boss in Jiangzhou. Secondly, because Wei Xiaobei is not familiar with Jiangzhou, he offered to take care of us. This is also good for them. Thirdly, here.
It's just a normal business cooperation... Wouldn't it be stupid to not want such good things delivered to your door? After passing this village, I'm afraid there may not be that store in the future. Even if you flatly refuse, you think someone will say that you are honest and clean.
…”
After hearing what Zhao Xiaolan said, Luo Fei couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Then he remembered something and shook his head: "This still doesn't work. The higher authorities have just issued regulations recently, which once again seriously emphasized the behavior of leading immediate family members in business operations.
In particular, it is pointed out that the immediate family members of the main local leaders are not allowed to do business and run enterprises within the area under their jurisdiction. If you do this, it is equivalent to pushing me into a pit of fire, making me make mistakes, and letting others catch me. No.
,no……"
Zhao Xiaolan laughed: "Dear Lord Mayor, I think the older you become, the more confused you become."
"Why am I confused?" Luo Fei said displeased.
Zhao Xiaolan said: "Of course I know this well. Not only will the company I established not be in my name, even other relatives of you and me will not have anything to do with this company on the surface.
No one will find anything against you."
Luo Fei blinked: "Whose name do you plan to put the company under?"
Zhao Xiaolan said: "You don't have to worry about this. I think the less you know about this matter, the better. But one thing you can rest assured is that I will handle this matter and I can guarantee absolute safety."
"Absolutely safe?" Luo Fei still seemed a little worried.
"Yes, absolutely safe." Zhao Xiaolan nodded affirmatively, "Lao Luo, I have been handling cases for so many years, and I am very familiar with the details. You must believe me on this."
Hearing what Zhao Xiaolan said, Luo Fei couldn't help but feel relieved. In addition, he was moved by what Zhao Xiaolan said just now and decided to acquiesce.
"Xiaolan, what did you say to me today? I didn't hear anything." Luo Fei said.
Zhao Xiaolan smiled knowingly: "Yes, you don't know anything. As long as you know that I am your wife and that I am working hard to build our family, that's fine."
Luo Fei thought for a moment, then said seriously: "But there are two things I have to tell you."
"Well, tell me." Zhao Xiaolan looked at Luo Fei.
Luo Fei said: "First, regarding this big project, as long as it complies with the work regulations and principles, I will ask about what should be asked and take care of what should be taken care of. On the contrary, I will not care about anything. Don't expect me to do anything extra.
Take care of it; secondly, whether the company you set up is engaged in the business of this big project or any other business in the future, it is not allowed to be carried out in my name, including you, and you should not come forward.
It’s not a good time to show off.”
"Don't worry, I promise to do it." Zhao Xiaolan nodded and smiled secretly. She is Luo Fei's wife. As long as her name is used, who dares to say no? Of course, when she doesn't need to come forward, she won't
If you stand in person, your subordinates can easily get a lot of things done in your own name.
"Okay, I didn't say anything today, I don't know anything." After Luo Fei finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.
Seeing Luo Fei go upstairs, Zhao Xiaolan pursed her lips and smiled, then took out her mobile phone to send a message to Wei Xiaobei to announce the good news...
The next morning, Qiao Liang was lying on a bamboo chair under the shade of a tree by the reservoir, reading "Human Weakness" sent by Liao Gufeng, when the deputy director hurried over.
"Mr. Qiao, I just received a call from Secretary Lu. He will accompany Director Chang of the Water Conservancy Bureau and his delegation to visit the base later. He will have lunch here at noon and let us arrange the reception."
Huh? Qiao Liang sat up. Lu Ping wanted to accompany Chang Dahe to visit the base, and he also had to eat here at noon. Damn, what do you mean?
"How many people are coming?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I don't know, Secretary Lu only talked about Director Chang and his party," the deputy director said.
"Well, you go pick some vegetables from the vegetable field and make some vegetables." Qiao Liang said.
The deputy director shook his head in embarrassment: "Mr. Qiao, Secretary Lu said that we will have whole sheep for lunch."
"Oh, I want to eat whole sheep." Qiao Liang said.
"Yes." The deputy director nodded.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's call a few workers to come back and kill a lamb."
The deputy director breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
Qiao Liang lay down again, looking up at the sky, wondering what Lu Ping's purpose was.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, two cars entered the base, the one in front was Lu Ping's and the one in the back was Chang Dahe's.
After the car stopped, the front door opened. Si Shengjie got out of the passenger seat, and Lu Ping and Luo Yang got out of the back door. Then the back door opened, and Chang Dahe and Tang Xiaofei got out. It turned out that Chang Dahe was the only one in the group.
.
At this time, the deputy director of the base and several people had already killed the sheep and set up a large pot. The water in the pot was already boiling and they were about to start slaughtering the whole sheep.
Qiao Liang stood in front of the car and greeted them. Lu Ping didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw Qiao Liang, but Luo Yang and Si Shengjie smiled at Qiao Liang and nodded.
When Chang Dahe saw Qiao Liang, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smooth and worldly smile: "Master Qiao...oh no, Mr. Qiao, I haven't seen you for many days, so I am here."
Qiao Liang chuckled and said: "Yes, Secretary Lu has entrusted me with an important task and sent me here to personally oversee the construction of the living base. Today I heard that you were coming, so I specially killed a sheep."
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said nothing.
"Haha..." Chang Dahe looked at Lu Ping, then at Qiao Liang, and laughed.
Then Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xiaofei and smiled slightly: "Chief Tang, welcome to the living base to experience life."
Seeing Qiao Liang at this time, Tang Xiaofei felt very happy. You have always been awesome. Now that you have fallen to this level, how can you still become awesome?
"Mr. Qiao, I came here to play with Director Chang today, not to experience life." Tang Xiaofei said lukewarmly.
"Oh, okay, okay, let's play. I wonder how Section Chief Tang wants to play? Going up the mountain or going into the water? Should we play by ourselves or together?" Qiao Liang said.
Tang Xiaofei frowned, "Hey, why do you think Qiao Liang's words are so unreasonable?"
"You don't have to worry about how you play." Tang Xiaofei said angrily.
"Okay, don't worry about me. If you fall into the water and drown, or fall off the mountain and fall, that's none of my business," Qiao Liang said.
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, everyone frowned. Damn, this is so unlucky. This guy's words are really unpleasant.
Then Chang Dahe looked around: "The environment here is elegant, the vegetation is dense, and the air is fresh. Let's go hiking."
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded, "Move your body, sweat, and then come down to drink and eat whole sheep."
Tang Xiaofei said: "Secretary Lu, in this weather, I like to be by the water, but I don't like to climb mountains and sweat."
Lu Ping laughed: "Okay, then let's go hiking with Director Chang, and Section Chief Tang will stroll by the reservoir. However, you must be careful, the water in this reservoir is very deep."
Lu Ping already knew that Tang Xiaofei was Luo Fei's niece, so he was particularly enthusiastic and concerned about her.
"Okay." Tang Xiaofei nodded.
Then everyone set off, and Qiao Liang, as the vice president in charge of the living base, subconsciously wanted to follow and take them to climb the mountain.
After taking just a few steps, Lu Ping saw Qiao Liang following him. He frowned and said coldly: "Mr. Qiao, we don't need to accompany you when we climb the mountain. You can stay and arrange for dinner."
Hearing what Lu Ping said, everyone looked at Qiao Liang. In front of the guests, Lu Ping was very disrespectful to Qiao Liang.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Liang was not embarrassed at all. He chuckled: "Secretary Lu, are you sure?"
"Nonsense!" Lu Ping glared at Qiao Liang with disgust.
"But..." Qiao Liang was about to say something, but Lu Ping interrupted Qiao Liang rudely, "You are a ghost, shut your mouth!"
So Qiao Liang shut up.
Lu Ping then said to Chang Dahe: "Let's go, Old Chang——"
Then they left.
Looking at their backs, an unpredictable smile appeared on Qiao Liang's face.
