The family had lunch lively. Hu Laifu and his wife were used to taking a break at noon, so Hu Fei sent them back to the villa, and then hurriedly took the family to his uncle Chen Jiangtao's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Because Hu Fei had to rush back to Yiyang for duty on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the next two days were extremely busy. He, Qian Xiaomei, and their children kept running around.
It wasn't until noon on the third day of the first lunar month that Hu Fei had time to have a long chat with Mr. Le. He originally came here on the morning of the second day of the lunar month to celebrate the New Year, but he only chatted for a few words and then left in a hurry, without a chance to have a long chat.
He was going back to Baisha tonight, so Hu Fei and his family came to Mr. Le's house again.
Coincidentally, Liao Yulin and Le Yin were also there. The grievances between Qian Xiaomei and Le Yin when they were young have long since been resolved, and the two talked about raising children with great enthusiasm.
Mr. Le called the two of them into the study.
"How is the situation in Yulin and Huoshan counties?"
Entering the study, Hu Fei grabbed the cigarettes on the coffee table, took out one and threw it to Liao Yulin, "Your Secretary Liu Taiming is quite good. He comes from an economic background, so he should pay great attention to Huoshan County, right?"
"
"Well, Secretary Liu is indeed very powerful and very supportive of our work in Huoshan County."
Liao Yulin nodded. Now facing Hu Fei, the trace of envy and jealousy in his heart had long since disappeared. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with Hu Fei's pace.
Nowadays, Hu Fei is the most famous person in the circles in the capital. There are many children from aristocratic families who go to the grassroots to train, but none of them want to achieve the same results as Hu Fei.
Hu Fei is so famous now that it is said that all the central leaders have talked about him and recognized his abilities, and Prime Minister Mu has become his senior brother.
Is there anyone like him who can compare with him?
"Xiao Fei, I already know what you did in Jiangnan. You did a good job."
Mr. Le was very happy to see Hu Fei chatting happily with Liao Yulin. The old Chen family did not take any special care of the Le family in the past few years, even Qian Wenbo, who was Hu Fei's father-in-law, did the same.
However, he understood Chen Haoyang's intentions. The old Chen family always kept a low profile and did not like publicity. If Qian Wenbo was pushed out early, others would be taken advantage of.
"Grandpa, it sounds easy for you to say this, but it's very hard for me to do it."
Hu Fei chuckled. As soon as he saw Liao Yulin today, he understood what the old man meant. This was the old man telling him not to forget Liao Yulin, his brother-in-law.
"This is a normal thing. If you want to achieve results at work, how can you not work hard?"
Mr. Le laughed, picked up the teapot and took a sip. The smile on his face faded, "Yulin, you have to learn from Xiao Fei in this aspect. You have to be able to endure hardship and dare to endure hardship, so that you can do a good job and sit in the office every day.
Drinking tea and listening to reports will not produce results in work."
"Grandpa, I understand."
Liao Yulin nodded sincerely. With Hu Fei's background, he worked hard at the grassroots level and was so tired that he vomited blood. How could he have the right to pretend to be from a wealthy family?
"Xiao Fei, Yulin lacks experience in grassroots work. You still have to lead him in many places. Brothers work together to cut through the gold."
Mr. Le smiled and nodded, "I also understand your grandfather's behavior in the past few years. He has always been low-key and adheres to principles, fearing to bring out a bad atmosphere. However, other people do not think like him."
Hu Fei immediately understood that Mr. Le was still a little unhappy because his family did not provide help for his father-in-law's progress.
"Grandpa, Wang Maoliang talked to me years ago. He wanted my father-in-law to go to Jiangnan Province to serve as the Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission."
Hu Fei chuckled, lowered his head and flicked the cigarette ashes, "I talked to my father two days ago. He meant to let my father-in-law spend a few years in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and then go to the Ministry of Supervision to serve as director."
"However, my father-in-law wants to go and train himself. I also think that my father-in-law's decision is right. If he doesn't work hard at the grassroots level, even if he serves as the Minister of Supervision, how can he be intimidated if his style of conduct does not have a bit of murderous spirit?
Those corrupt officials?"
Mr. Le was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Chen Haoyang had already made arrangements, and the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Your father-in-law thinks so too."
He nodded, picked up the purple clay teapot and took a sip, "Since he has made his own decision, it is up to him to go and stay in Jiangnan Province for a few years. It just so happens that you all can have someone to take care of you in Jiangnan.
"
"I think this is fine. Working at the grassroots level is more convincing than working at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. It also allows my father-in-law to put his work ideas into practice."
Hu Fei nodded. What Mr. Le meant was that Qian Wenbo had been working in Jiangnan for several years and would return to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Supervision when the next election changes.
"Xiao Fei, Yulin has been serving as chief for almost three years."
Mr. Le put down the teapot and looked at Hu Fei, "I know you have a good relationship with their municipal party committee secretary. Do you think you can mention it to him?"
Mr. Le didn't mention anything. Hu Fei also knew what he was talking about, and he definitely couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of his elders.
However, Liao Yulin's work experience is too shallow, and it is too unlikely to directly promote him as deputy mayor. Moreover, the promotion of cadres at the deputy department level must be discussed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. How can it be so easy to promote him?
Already?
However, Mr. Le raised it, and Hu Fei had to express his opinion on this issue.
"Grandpa, Yulin's ability is enough."
Hu Fei took a puff of cigarette and nodded, "However, his work experience is still too shallow. He has only worked in Huoshan County for less than three years, and he has no experience as a top leader. Is it too much to mention the deputy mayor at this time?
Soon?"
His voice paused, "I think it's better to let him practice a little more. If he wants to have a smoother career in the future, he still needs to hone himself a little more. Grandpa, haste makes waste."
Mr. Le was stunned when he heard this, with a wry smile on his face, "I'm old, I'm old, I can't even see through this. I don't know how many more years my body can survive."
"Grandpa, your body is strong."
Hu Fei shook his head, "Don't worry, Yulin and I will support and take care of each other."
"This way, I feel relieved."
Mr. Le exhaled a long breath.
After lunch, Mr. Le went into his room to rest. Hu Fei chatted with Liao Yulin for a while, and Qian Xiaomei urged him to leave. He had to go back to Yiyang for duty tomorrow.
