Standing on the top floor of Shangri-La Hotel in Spring City, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the bustling street below. People and cars were like ants in the sight. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't feel like he was in control of everything. Instead, he felt a little dizzy. He still couldn't understand something.
People like to be in a state of looking down at all living beings.
Behind him, a group of old friends gathered together happily. After exchanging cups, they gathered together for cigarettes, tea and coffee. They reminisced about the past and chatted about some unknown topics. Cheng Xiaoyu never gave up on the relationship he had run in Spring City, even though they now need unlimited
Looking up to himself, Cheng Xiaoyu never looked down upon him at all.
Luo Dahai and Bai Fei, who had entered the circle from the beginning, had a prosperous official career under the guidance of Vice Governor Liu Yuejun and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee Gao Peimin. Zou Jicheng, who served as a member of the Standing Committee of Shancheng, also moved to Chuncheng through operations and served as
Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee, this big step has made many people unbelievable. They didn't think Liu Yuejun and Gao Peimin had such ability. After asking around, they found out that Zou Jicheng's father's old station friend still had some connections in the capital. He could give him some support when the time was right.
, he was able to step into the Standing Committee of a sub-provincial city and move to the department level at the golden age of his official career.
Today, Cheng Xiaoyu returned to Chuncheng and organized a gathering of very different levels. The leaders of Chuncheng Electric Power Company were all present, praising the old leaders. When they arrived at the scene, they saw the deputy governor Liu Yuejun, the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Gao Peimin, and the deputy mayor of Chuncheng.
Zou Jicheng, although the three of them only scratched the surface, they were deeply moved. They stood in front of the wine table and drank a glass of wine together. They drank a glass with Cheng Xiaoyu respectively, and stood aside and chatted for a few minutes. At this time, even Liu Xin
The young master had to step aside, which made him quite emotional. Thinking about a few years ago, this man still had to follow behind him and Sheng Xiaolei, but now he can stand on the same level as his father. The word struggle is really not false.
, time is also luck, fate is also a struggle.
In fact, the four of them didn't talk about much. They mostly talked about some irrelevant words. The central topic was Jia Ping's transfer to the garrison as military commander. The three of them all expressed congratulations to varying degrees. Liu Yuejun knew Jia Ping and got closer to him, and Gao Peimin and
Zou Jicheng is more formulaic, with obvious factional congratulations. As a direct descendant of Sheng Huaiyuan, Gao Peimin's career is now slightly flawed, but it far exceeds his self-assessment. As for Zou Jicheng, he is more satisfied. From the county level to the prefectural level, these few
Stepping up is the future he has dreamed of for a long time. Even when his career was bleak, he even thought that he would be satisfied if he retired and worked at the department level. According to the current trend, who dares to say that there is no possibility for him to go further?
Replacing the Pei family, replacing Pei Yuejin, and replacing Sheng Huaiyuan who was far to the south, Cheng Xiaoyu was a different kind of 'labor army' in Spring City. This area has little strategic significance, but it is also one of the bases. It cannot be lost. Sheng Huaiyuan has been operating the field for such a long time.
It should not be wasted. Sheng Xiaolei has been maintaining these relationships. At that time, Cheng Xiaoyu was not needed. It is different now. Cheng Xiaoyu is no longer a junior, but has half the qualifications to be able to sit on an equal footing with them. The perspective of conversation is also more equal, to a certain extent.
Appeared in front of these people as the spokesperson of the Pei family.
The big guys sat for a while and left, and everyone drank more casually. Then they asked for a large business suite, which is suitable for informal gatherings of many people, drinking tea and smoking cigarettes, in a tipsy state or
Have some personal conversations, or take domestic entertainment politics to the extreme, sit down and play cards to create the best chat scene.
"Prince Yu..." With a hint of ridicule, Situ Kaihui walked up to Cheng Xiaoyu with a glass of red wine. She finally chose a broader world and had no direct backer in the power system, although everyone was respectful to her.
What's more, as time goes by, I lose the motivation to work hard, and I tend to just hang around in the office. I take the initiative to take a leave of absence without pay to try my luck in the workplace, and choose to join the Daewoo Group. This time, I can really fly like a bird in the sky and swim in the sea.
, and the whole person also glows with a different style, charming and charming.
"Sister, can't I accept it now?" Facing his old classmates, Cheng Xiaoyu always maintained an innocent and classmate relationship.
"Haha..." Situ Kaihui glanced around and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Are you and that girl Liang Chenyi..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending, you are the boring type. Mr. Pei is excellent and we don't dare to compare. But you, the boss, eat too much meat and fish. Wouldn't it be even better if you changed it to green vegetables and tofu?"
Tease, Hongguoguo's teasing.
Cheng Xiaoyu spread his hands helplessly and refused to answer the question. He had spent a lot of time with Situ Kaihui and Hu Ning, and he understood what they were thinking. Neither party knew how long the fruitless ambiguity would last.
Situ Kaihui held up his wine glass and smiled, walking towards Pei Pei who was chatting happily with Liu Yuejun in the distance.
A good atmosphere can never last until the end, and the moments that destroy the atmosphere will always happen by chance. It is not a coincidence, but there are only so many top public places, and car crashes are unavoidable.
The sound of scolding came through the door, and then the sound of the door being kicked was heard: "I want to see who has taken over this place and didn't even let me come."
"Mr. Chu, this is Liu..." The manager did not stop him. An old acquaintance who was as tall as a hemp pole was the first to enter the room. Behind him, there were several old acquaintances. If he hadn't met here, Cheng Xiaoyu would have already
Put their existence in the back of your mind.
Chu Dabao, the young master of Chuncheng, the only son of Chu Yunjing, the former deputy mayor and now the executive deputy director of the Provincial Department of Education, was the first to step into the room. He saw Liu Xin first and curled his lips visibly.
It was obvious that he didn't take the other party seriously, and it was more provocative. I think he came towards him on purpose.
Behind him, Long Peng and the smart model Zhou Tongtong stood side by side, and those gathered around the edge were no strangers. Hong Gensheng, the former head of the credit section of the China Construction Bank branch in a county-level city, was transferred to a county-level city. The remaining ones were unknown to Cheng Xiaoyu. Look at their
They behaved like officials, but what really caught Cheng Xiaoyu's attention was the man clustered in the center of the crowd. Even Long Peng stood beside him.
He is in his mid-thirties, has a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a strong military aura. He can be said to be a strong-backed man. The look between his eyebrows reminded Cheng Xiaoyu of someone. Soon, Liu Xin solved Cheng Xiaoyu's doubts.
Guessing, he took the initiative to stand up, with a bright smile on his face, took the initiative to step forward, and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Brother Kou, are you going home to visit relatives?"
This surname has already revealed the identity of this man whose genetic genes are undoubtedly reflected between his brows. The most popular future leader is the son of the current provincial governor Kou. I have heard of this man who is nearly ten years older than Liu Xinsheng Huaiyuan and others.
The children of the Kou family all work outside and rarely appear in Spring City. I didn't expect to meet them today.
"You're here." The man Liu Xin called Brother Kou was neither cold nor hot nor close to each other. He was not rude and did not want to interact more. He frowned slightly and glanced at Long Peng and Chu.
Dabao is a little dissatisfied with their arrangements. It is rare for him to come back, and he does not want to get involved in the struggle of these boys. It is meaningless and childish.
"Young Master Liu, Brother Kou is here, why don't you give up the room..." Chu Dabao was clearly trying to embarrass Liu Xin, and the person he was trying to pull the wool over was quite tough. On normal days, Liu Xin would not only suffer from this dumb loss.
If you go down there, you have to swallow it with a smile and take the initiative to pay for it, but today, it's different.
Faced with Chu Dabao's arrogance, Kou Yun didn't say anything. He was dissatisfied, but when some things needed to be communicated to the outside world unanimously, he would not be vague. Not expressing his position was the best attitude.
"Haha, Brother Kou has come all the way back. I should treat you and give up my seat. But today I am just a guest. It depends on whether the host is willing or not." Liu Xin's smile was thick, but the toughness in his words was not lost.
You can't be slapped on your face today. Even if you really want to break your arm, you won't do it yourself.
Pei Pei stood up and walked over with elegant steps, a very casual smile on his face, and his dignified and majestic posture appeared clearly, and he immediately became the focus of the audience.
The atmosphere is perfectly mixed together. Once she wants to show her focus, she will definitely succeed. The multiple temperaments not only do not make her fall into the cliché, but also form a new temperament. Whenever you look over, you will have it.
It gives rise to a hazy feeling, as if something is seen clearly but not clearly. It is strange but one cannot help but want to get closer. Unconsciously, a strong interest arises to get closer and explore the hazy things.
"Hello, Brother Kou, I'm Pei Pei, long time no see." He took the initiative to extend his jade hand and handed it to Kou Yun.
Kou Yun was shocked at first, then stunned, and then relieved, and then showed a friendly smile, which was slightly unnatural. His expression changed so quickly in just two or three seconds that it was so complicated that you found it unacceptable.
"Long time no see. Miss Pei has become more and more gorgeous. I don't even dare to admit her." Kou Yunzao didn't lie. He had met Pei Pei in the past. That was many years ago. At that time, Pei Pei was still young.
On the hospital bed, his grandfather was still alive. The old chief who went to the capital to visit was Pei Pei's grandfather. He had met him once at that time. In the end, after the death of Mr. Kou, the reason why Kou failed to be re-elected and continue to stand on the same front as the Pei family had nothing to do with it.
The personality factions are entirely based on the governing philosophy. The closeness Sui Kou Yun felt when he saw Pei Pei was not a pretense.
"Brother Kou is so complimentary." Pei Pei bowed his head slightly at the right time and stepped aside, allowing Cheng Xiaoyu, who turned around from further away, to face Kou Yun face to face.
Chu Dabao and Long Peng both saw Cheng Xiaoyu at this time. Chu Dabao continued to be cautious as before. When he shrank his neck, memories of the past came to his mind. The posture he was preparing to be the shooter suddenly disappeared and he stepped back.
He took a step and a half, and immediately stood in a parallel position behind Kou Yun who was far away from Cheng Xiaoyu; Long Peng was afraid, but more of it was hatred, not to mention hatred. If you think about it carefully, it was just a battle of wills, no resentment.
The hatred is mostly hatred.
Next to Long Peng, Zhou Tongtong was completely afraid of the strong, just like the fear he had before seeing Long Yuanzheng. He was afraid that the other party would change his life with just a look or dissatisfaction. Looking back now, at that time,
It seems that he is the protagonist of the grudge. Is that man still holding a grudge?
"Master Kou, hello, Cheng Xiaoyu." Cheng Xiaoyu strode forward and extended his right hand when he was only two steps away from Kou Yun.
"Oh!" Kou Yun was startled. Instead of greeting the opponent's hand, he snapped his legs together, stood at attention, and gave a standard military salute.
Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he naturally returned a military salute. The expressions of both parties made a complete turn, from the indifference and strangerness before to the heartfelt closeness at this moment. Soldier, comrade-in-arms, these two words are enough.
After that, each other's big hands were obviously stronger when they were held together, and they shook up and down, very powerfully.
"Sit down and have something to drink?"
"Okay, but let's forget about the girls' wine."
“Erguotou’s wine base.”
"Okay!" Kou Yun turned to Long Peng and said, "Forget about today's dinner, we will make an appointment another day."
Long Peng frowned, not daring to disobey this brother Kou who didn't even treat his own father as a junior.
"Also, next time, don't recruit unimportant people casually. It's just for a meal. There's no need to stir up trouble." Kou Yun glanced at Hong Gensheng and others, obviously because Cheng Xiaoyu would say this again when he was present.
Despite his dandyish demeanor, he clearly stated his position and was in the same boat as Long Peng and others.
The words were very contradictory. Both Long Peng and Chu Dabao were stunned. They didn't turn around for a while. Pei Pei reacted the fastest. The children of the aristocratic family have been brought up differently. Even if they are soldiers, when it comes to
When it comes to politics, only those who are half-officials, and even many people who have been immersed in officialdom for a long time, cannot achieve the level of understanding that they do.
I admire you, Cheng Xiaoyu, and am willing to have more contact with you. Whether we can become friends is another matter, but first of all, I am the son of Kou Lianren. This is an indisputable fact. I stand in the same circle as Long Peng and others, even in the future
We can be friends, but we can only be close friends, not allies in the same circle.
This is the attitude of Kou Yun, the attitude of a truly free and easy person, or the attitude of a sinister man who is so evil that he can hide it from everyone. The feeling of a soldier told Cheng Xiaoyu that he believed the former more.
In front of Kou Yun, Long Peng and Chu Dabao seemed to be juniors. Every word had a slightly commanding tone. They didn't usually speak like this. But at this moment, in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, Kou Yun just said this.
Pei Pei and Cheng Xiaoyu laughed. The knot in Chuncheng may never be untied in their lifetime, but from this moment on, Long Peng and Chu Dabao both had to accept a fact, a fact witnessed by dozens of people. In front of Cheng Xiaoyu, they were not qualified.
Standing up to fight in the ring is completely inferior. Liu Xin can be called Young Master Liu, but Cheng Xiaoyu must be an official, or Director Cheng, or Prince Yu. This is the difference. Kou Yun warned Long Peng and others.
, you have already reached that level to set up a barrier for Cheng Xiaoyu. Even if Long Peng and others do some excessive behavior, you will look like bullying them and make people laugh. (To be continued. If you
