When Hu Fei came out of the kitchen, he saw the old man playing with two little guys on the left and right, and immediately walked over and said hello.
"You go help your dad cook first, and we'll talk after dinner."
The old man smiled and nodded, and continued to play with the two little guys. Children over one year old are when they are curious about the world, so it was natural for the old man to entertain them at this moment.
Chen Pengyu took Hu'er to play in his room. The boy didn't dare to face the old man.
Hu Fei helped Chen Haoyang prepare a table of dishes, and then the family sat together and had a meal together. The old man was in high spirits and even drank two glasses of wine.
After dinner, the old man called Hu Fei into the study alone.
"Xiao Fei, you have done a good job in Huoshan District. I am very happy that you have achieved such an achievement in less than two years."
The old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "You are thirty-one years old this year. Although you are already in power, your progress is not very fast."
Hu Fei nodded. The thirty-one-year-old top leader is indeed making rapid progress in his local area, but in ministries, commissions and other places, this speed is definitely not very fast.
However, for ordinary people, a thirty-one-year-old division-level cadre is already very good. However, Hu Fei is not an ordinary person. He is the direct grandson of the old Chen family.
"If your Huoshan can enter the top 100 counties in the country in terms of economy this year, it will also be an opportunity for you. Next year will be the year of leadership change. Now that you have the opportunity, you must fight for it."
The old man rubbed his tea cup with his fingers, "In officialdom, age is a treasure."
"Grandpa, our municipal committee is already making preparations, but it won't be long before Huoshan District will be renamed Huoshan County."
Hu Fei smiled and nodded, "Also, I estimate that our Huoshan's economic data should be able to enter the top 100 this year, but the noun may be very far behind."
“It’s already great to be in the top 100.”
The old man chuckled, "You are only one county in Jiangnan that has entered the top 100. If your Huoshan enters, it will be of great benefit to you, and it will also benefit the leaders of your municipal committee. It's strange that they are not in a hurry to change their name.
"
"Grandpa, our district government doesn't have a district mayor yet."
Hu Fei took a puff of cigarette, looked at the old man and smiled and said, "The Le family wanted Liao Yulin to go to Huoshan District to be the district chief. They talked to me as soon as I got off the plane in the morning, and I agreed."
"Just go. Anyway, political achievements are not yours alone. Someone has to pick up the peaches. Liao Yulin is your brother-in-law and one of your own. Rather than giving it to others, it is better to let Liao Yulin take advantage."
The old man chuckled, picked up the water glass and took a sip, "Since Liao Yulin is determined to go to the grassroots level to exercise, let him go. Young people do not rely on their families and work in ministries and commissions to gain seniority. This is a good thing. You should take advantage of your youth.
When the time comes, go down and exercise and understand the real situation at the grassroots level. Liao Yulin’s determination should be encouraged.”
"Grandpa, aren't you angry or worried?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, "My dad just said that it might have an impact on my future. He probably meant that he was not happy about it."
"Haoyang is still not grand enough."
The old man sighed softly, "When you get to that point, what matters is to face the enemy with dignity. There are no particularly pure people in the officialdom. Especially when you reach a certain level, there will naturally be people who come together because of their ideas, development views, etc.
stand up."
"Some things are simply impossible to avoid. Chairman Mao Zedong also said back then that there are no party-imperialist ideas outside the party, and there are all kinds of strange things if there are no factions within the party."
His voice paused, "Your dad is just too cautious, which also means that his layout is not big enough. It is a bit difficult to grab one of the nine chairs, let alone the top chair."
"Xiao Fei, everything is up to you!"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt an invisible pressure surge over him.
After leaving the study, Hu Fei chatted with Du Hanxiang and others in the living room for a while. The children were already so tired that they were yawning all day long. In addition, they had to catch a plane tomorrow. Seeing the appearance of the children, he immediately stood up and left, hugging them with one hand.
A child went out, and Qian Xiaomei pulled the sleepy Hu'er behind him.
"Husband, what do grandpa think? He won't be angry, right?"
Qian Xiaomei started the car and quickly looked back at Hu Fei, who was sitting in the back seat of the car. The two children were crawling on his lap, and Hu'er was sitting in the passenger seat.
"My father seemed a little unhappy. He said that the Le family was greedy for petty gains and was afraid that it would affect my future."
Hu Fei shook his head, "However, Grandpa didn't say anything. The wealth will not go to outsiders. He also said that my father's structure is a bit smaller, so you can rest assured."
"Moreover, grandpa is more in favor of Liao Yulin's grassroots training, and said that young people should go down and exercise more. I guess grandpa is not asking Yulin to go down to gold plating, but really wants to leave him in Jiangnan to train.
"
"Oh no."
Qian Xiaomei's eyes widened in astonishment, "Le Yin said that grandpa just wanted Yulin to be gilded. He didn't want Yulin to work locally in the long run. It would be easier to wait for him to wait for two years to be promoted to the deputy director level."
"Maybe I was wrong. I drove slower. The little ones fell asleep and our daughter drooled."
Hu Fei shook his head and rubbed Lao San's little face with his fingers. The little girl opened her mouth slightly and smacked her mouth from time to time, as if she was dreaming of eating something delicious.
Back home, Hu Laifu and Yu Chunlan were watching TV in the living room. When they saw Hu Fei coming in with a child in each hand, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Dad, Mom, are everything packed?"
Hu Fei came out of the shower and walked into the living room. He saw several boxes already placed in the living room. Hu Laifu and his wife were packing their luggage, "Do you want my help?"
"Son, no need, you go to bed, we will take a flight tomorrow morning."
Yu Chunlan waved her hand, "I slept in the afternoon and I'm not sleepy. The children are all asleep, so you don't have to worry."
"Then I'll go to bed, and you guys should go to bed early too."
Hu Fei yawned all the way into the bedroom.
Early the next morning, the company car arrived. It was a Toyota minivan. This was what Qian Xiaomei had told me on the phone last night. The family couldn't fit in one more car, so they simply called a minivan.
come over.
When the plane landed at Baisha Airport, it was already past noon. The family dragged their luggage out of the terminal and was greeted by the editor-in-chief of the magazine who came to pick them up.
