When a private meeting was about to end, Guo Wentian drank the last bit of liquor in his glass, looked at Wang Qinglei in front of him with a smile and said: "Leping will come over tomorrow. Find a time for you to meet and get familiar with each other."
There were several almost-finished side dishes on the coffee table, and two bottles of white wine. Under the soft light, both of their faces looked slightly drunk.
Wang Qinglei leaned back, smoked a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Leping, I'm very familiar with you, I'm an old rival..."
"From now on, we will all be our own people."
Guo Wentian laughed: "He had resentment in his heart at the beginning. I have done a lot of work, and there is no knot that cannot be untied. In fact, he respects you very much. Let's talk and stand by my side."
From a standpoint, I think the two of you are complementary in some aspects, which is very important, very important."
Wang Qinglei smiled and nodded: "What about tomorrow night? I will pay attention to my attitude."
"Not that much."
Guo Wentian shook his head, paused and said, "I'm not being polite, I really can't."
Wang Qinglei took a puff of cigarette and nodded slightly.
The so-called Leping's full name is Yu Leping. Like Wang Qinglei, he was once a figure who had high hopes for his respective groups. He and Wang Qinglei are similar in age, and their resumes are roughly the same. They even hold the same level of positions and are almost the same in terms of qualifications.
.
Wang Qinglei is now the speaker of Wu Yue.
Yu Leping is the Speaker of the Southwest.
The two entered the parliament in the same year. When Wang Qinglei was still having a harmonious relationship with the Southeast Group and Dibingshan, in parliamentary meetings, he often represented the Southeast Group and Yu Leping, who represented the Prince Group, had tit-for-tat confrontations.
Having had such an experience, the relationship between the two of them is naturally not good, but it is not bad at all. Putting aside their positions and the work that they often have to fight for, privately, the two of them are at best
Even if they don't contact each other, they can basically chat and laugh on the surface in many public places.
Their arguments are just from different standpoints, and there is no hatred in private.
And the most ironic thing is exactly this.
When the two were in different groups, they had no hatred, but as Wang Qinglei joined the Prince Group, the two officially formed a feud.
Because Wang Qinglei blocked Yu Leping's way.
The resumes and qualifications of the two are very similar, and in comparison in all aspects, Wang Qinglei is just a little bit better than Yu Leping.
If Wang Qinglei had not joined the Prince Group, Yu Leping would have entered Youzhou directly from the southwest in this election and become a director, and at the same time become one of the most important leaders of the Prince Group.
But the arrival of Wang Qinglei made the Prince Group see a better choice.
If Chen Fangqing had not died, then there would not be a big problem for both Yu Leping and Wang Qinglei to go further.
But with the death of Chen Fangqing, the Prince Group was in turmoil. Under such circumstances, Guo Wentian's stay became a key step in stabilizing the group. In this way, Wang Qinglei and Yu Leping could only go up one.
Yu Leping had no way to blame Guo Wentian, so he could only vent his anger on Wang Qinglei. Since Wang Qinglei joined the Prince Group, he has caused a lot of turmoil overtly and covertly. It can be said that it is enough for other groups to see the excitement.
"He is still very easy to get along with. You two had some misunderstandings before, but when you meet him, you will understand."
Guo Wentian's tone was calm: "The future of the group still needs you to be at the helm. We all hope that you can put aside the past, so that everyone can rest assured."
Wang Qinglei's heart moved and he looked at Guo Wentian.
Guo Wentian nodded and gave him a positive signal: "At my age, this re-election is already a bit reluctant. Next time, Leping will take my place. This is a good thing for the group. If he feels personally wronged, he
It’s conceivable.”
Wang Qinglei understood, nodded, and said yes.
The Prince Group finally chose him and felt wronged by Yu Leping. In addition to the huge value he personally brought to Wu Yue, his slightly better qualifications than the other party were also very important reasons.
This may seem like just a little bit, but this so-called little bit is enough to widen the gap between their evaluations in the parliament and the mouths of some old people.
If there is no Wang Qinglei, Yu Leping can still become a director, but it is basically impossible to win Wang Qinglei's position after the election. He will most likely succeed Zou Mulin of the wealthy group, a position with high ranking but low actual voice.
Wang Qinglei's position has basically been determined after many rounds of games. After the election, he will become the deputy speaker of Zhongzhou and the dean of Zhongzhou College.
That is the current position of Wan Qingyun of the Southeast Group.
The deputy speaker with the title of director is not a mascot like the non-director deputy speaker. The position of the president of the college has extraordinary significance. When the officials from all over the border come to Youzhou to study, they all want to see Wang Qinglei.
Calling him the dean is a kind of connection in itself.
Li Huacheng reached the top from this position. Of course, Wang Qinglei's appearance in this position does not mean that he can be like Li Huacheng, but this position itself represents huge energy. In Zhongzhou, this is the most likely check and balance.
Li Huacheng's position may not be high in the rankings, but his voice is real, and he is extremely attractive to the Prince Group.
If Yu Leping were to fight for this position, there would be basically no chance.
But it won't be too difficult for Wang Qinglei to compete for this position.
This is an intuitive reflection of the slight difference in qualifications.
"Is there any news from Xiaoyao?"
Guo Wentian suddenly asked.
Wang Qinglei shook his head and subconsciously looked at his watch.
"Do you want to argue about Qiu Shui's issue?"
Wang Qinglei asked intentionally or unintentionally, with a light tone.
"Hesitating, undecided"
Guo Wentian sighed: "Who would have thought that Xiaoyao and Li Tianlan had an agreement at the beginning, but this is normal. Dongdao is already Li Tianlan's sphere of influence. If Xiaoyao doesn't give him some sweetness, what he has to face now is the East Palace.
I took revenge, but Qiushui is a city..."
After a pause, Guo Wentian shook his head: "My thinking is a little confused now, and I don't know what to say. Maybe it's mainly because I was dazzled by the results of Xiaoyao's victory. Now I suddenly have to lose a city, and I feel a gap in my heart."
"You don't have to use anything less."
Wang Qinglei said meaningfully: "Li Tianlan has made it clear that he is not interested in Qiu Shui. What he cares about is how much he can exchange for Qiu Shui. At present, we are the only ones bidding against Emperor Bingshan."
Guo Wentian remained silent, and finally slowly shook his head.
Prince Group has enough capital to bid.
Imperial Soldier Mountain can produce a large amount of armaments and a series of technical information.
What the Prince Group can offer is a series of valuable positions.
But facing the red-eyed Emperor Bingshan, with such a bidding, in the end the Prince Group might have to exchange the say of a province for Qiushui City.
Qiushui City has a different meaning from ordinary cities, but a province... is still a bit unworthy.
"It would be nice if I could default on my debt..."
Guo Wentian suddenly laughed.
The corners of Wang Qinglei's mouth twitched, but Quan pretended not to hear.
Deadbeat?
On Li Tianlan’s account?
How fearless do you have to be to do something like this?
"Let Xiaoyao handle this matter. I will adjust my mentality here. No matter what, the opportunities he brings to the Prince Group are always precious. The two cities are actually not bad and have exceeded our expectations."
Guo Wentian laughed and said.
The current Prince Group treats Wang Xiaoyao with great affection and respect.
If they had some doubts about Wang Xiaoyao before, after the alliance operation, the Chenxi Jun Regiment entered Beihai with a high profile and wiped out three sword-wielding families, no one doubted this anymore.
This letter of nomination is really substantial.
From top to bottom, the Prince Group regarded Wang Xiaoyao as one of their own, a peak invincible master who was in his prime and still had great potential for breakthrough.
Even if we don't talk about the power he possesses, just such a person is enough for the Prince Group to respect him to the greatest extent.
The loyalty issues they worried about before no longer exist.
The entire group began to pay great attention to Wang Xiaoyao.
"So...are you planning to watch Xiaoyao?"
Wang Qinglei raised his eyebrows.
Guo Wentian nodded: "Of course, on the issue of Beihai, I must respect his opinion. I am hesitant now about Qiushui City. I want it, but I don't want to pay a high price.
If Xiaoyao is interested, this matter can be discussed."
The Beihai Province is the core of the Beihai Wang Family, and even the core of the Southeast Group. Now, with the help of Wang Xiaoyao, the Prince Group has the power to extend its hand into the Beihai Wang Family. In this way, it will control two cities or three cities.
The difference is actually not big, they all need to be managed slowly.
But the premise is that Wang Xiaoyao must be helped to stabilize the situation.
If Wang Xiaoyao feels that giving up Qiu Shui is too much of a threat to him and wants to fight with Di Bingshan, the Prince Group will take action even if they are unwilling, as if this is the price to win over Wang Xiaoyao completely.
If Wang Xiaoyao doesn't want to fight, then the Prince Group has nothing to lose.
"I will communicate with him."
Wang Qinglei said something, suddenly feeling regretful: "If Xiaoyao can persuade Jiang Shangyu today..."
Guo Wentian's face turned gloomy for a moment.
"Jiang Shangyu is leaving Zhongzhou. Since he wants to take advantage of Li Tianlan, it doesn't make much sense to talk about this. But Jiang Shan..."
"Judging from today's situation, it will be difficult for us to intervene in Northern Xinjiang."
Wang Qinglei glanced at Guo Wentian.
Guo Wentian's face looked a little ugly.
Northern Xinjiang has always been the territory of the Prince Group. Even though Jiangshan's attitude has been subtle in recent years, it is still generally consistent with them.
But today's funeral and the cold reception Wang Xiaoyao received from entering Beijiang to leaving have all shown that Beijiang is completely out of the control of the Prince Group.
Fortunately, there is Wu Yue brought by Wang Qinglei.
Otherwise, losing Northern Xinjiang would definitely be a serious loss for the Prince Group.
It is precisely because of this that the Prince Group pays more attention to the value of Wang Qinglei and Wang Xiaoyao.
If the Wuyue brought by Wang Qinglei can be completely integrated with the Prince Group, it will be enough to make up for all the sequelae caused by their loss of Northern Xinjiang.
And Wang Xiaoyao represents Beihai Xingsheng
If the Prince Group can take over the entire Beihai Province through Wang Xiaoyao, they will be able to seize the biggest interests of the Southeast Group as the major groups are now sharpening their knives and planning to dismember the Southeast Group.
Guo Wentian took a deep breath, softened his expression, and said with a smile: "You and Xiaoyao are now the twin stars of the group. At this stage, you need to make decisions on many things."
Wang Qinglei smiled and was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "There is news from Xiaoyao."
