Chapter 0027: New Year's Eve Battle (2)

According to the general customs, New Year's Eve is a family reunion, and there will be no visits to relatives and friends.

Of course, this custom is for ordinary people in China.

For the eight major political families in Yanjing City, as well as other political power families, New Year's Eve is the most perfect time to engage in alliances.

According to traditional customs, New Year's Eve is also a time for children to ask their elders for lucky money, and it is a matter within their own big family. Usually, children go to grandparents, uncles and uncles to kowtow and kneel to ask for lucky money.

Although the current custom of kneeling and worshiping is gone, the custom of younger generations going to their elders to ask for lucky money has not changed.

It is precisely because of this that these political families lead their children to other political families to ask for lucky money.

Of course, these are just some superficial phenomena, and the real purpose behind it is to gain the recognition of the other party and the meaning of becoming a family.

Moreover, these political families are not free to go if they want to, it is a matter that is finally decided after the two parties have fully considered.

The Gao family now represents the No. [-] family. They want to go to another family, which is enough for the other party. Naturally, the Wen family will not refuse, and the Wen family also knows why the Gao family came back to their Wen family.

Not all of these political families go there, that is also a choice, and the characters sent also have strong considerations.

The Wen family will naturally take advantage of this opportunity to engage in some joint vertical and horizontal things.

Le Fan didn't know the truth about it, let alone that the visit on New Year's Eve contained the political alliance meaning of "as close as a family", and even more unspoken rules of officialdom.

Le Fan didn't know, but Mrs. Dong did.

When she heard old master Wen's words, she stood up quickly and said, "The Gao family is coming, Lele and I should avoid it."

"Lele is my god-grandson. We are a family. What are you avoiding? You don't need to avoid it. Lele should also see this kind of scene, which is good for him." Old Man Wen said.

"Grandpa, is this suitable for me?" Wen Xinrui wore a red dress, like a red rose, exuding a noble temperament.

"Okay, the clothes are well worn, and the Gao family must be able to understand what we mean at a glance." Old Mrs. Wen said happily.

After seeing Wen Xinrui's red dress, Mrs. Dong looked at Le Fan, and couldn't help but look sad.

She knows that being able to celebrate the New Year together on New Year's Eve is not only a very close political alliance, but also a political marriage. When she and Le Fan were invited to celebrate the New Year together, she was so happy, but Gao Sheng from the Gao family also came , which explains the problem.

Moreover, Wen Xinrui was wearing a red dress, which was a traditional dress for happy occasions, and the meaning of wearing this red dress to be promoted was self-evident.

If it is said that the Wen family and the Gao family are extremely close political allies, that is simply impossible. The eight major political families in Yanjing City have never had extremely close political allies, and such a situation is impossible.

The only thing is political marriage!

Red clothes, New Year's Eve...

"Could it be that old man Wen hasn't made up his mind yet? Or does he have other intentions? Tonight is very unusual. Lele, tonight depends on your performance." Mrs. Dong thought to herself.

"Grandma, let's withdraw. Meeting people from the Gao family here will bring a lot of trouble to Grandpa Wen," Le Fan said.

At this time, Le Fan didn't want to meet Gao Sheng. To some extent, he was not ready to meet Gao Sheng.

Moreover, what happened two years ago is still vivid in his mind, and it seems that there is a shadow of failure in his heart.

"Lele, haven't you deserted on the battlefield yet? Is Gao Sheng really that scary?" Old Man Wen saw through Le Fan's thoughts at once.

With Le Fan's current scheming and city government, he is a transparent person in front of Mr. Wen.

His words are actually the method of aggressive generals.

Mr. Wen's words immediately opened Mrs. Dong's doubts.

"It turns out that Mr. Wen is still testing Lele. This time, he is using his promotion to test him. Since this is the case, it is also a training for Lele." Mrs. Dong thought to herself.

Mrs. Dong cannot be Mrs. Wen, no matter in terms of scheming or strategy, she is not a heavyweight at all.

Mrs. Dong's guess is just his guess, and Mrs. Wen has his own considerations and behind-the-scenes considerations.

"Lele, your grandpa Wen said he wanted you to stay, so you should stay. Maybe this time will open your eyes." Mrs. Dong said.

"I've become a coward so quickly. I've heard that Gao Sheng is a genius. He was admitted to China's No. [-] University of Science and Technology—Jinghua University by virtue of his own ability. The Central Organization Department, not only that, but also made great achievements in chess, and once won the championship in the Chinese Chess Competition." Wen Xinrui glanced at Le Fan and said.

This sentence hurt Le Fan deeply, especially the matter of Gao Sheng being admitted to the Organization Department of the Central Committee. For Le Fan, it was an eternal pain.

Wen Xinrui's jumping out of this matter undoubtedly sprinkled a handful of salt on Le Fan's scar.

More importantly, Le Fan felt that his self-esteem had been severely hit.

He gave Wen Xinrui a hard look, and soon regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Since Gao Sheng was admitted to the Organization Department of the Central Committee by virtue of his own ability, I would like to look at the current situation in two years' time. How much has Gao Sheng's ability grown?"

Le Fan sat back on the sofa again, leaning on the sofa, exuding a fighting spirit all over his body.

Others might not feel it, but Mr. Wen really felt it.

"Yes, it's the will to fight, the will to fight, the will to fight bravely, the will to fight fearlessly! Unexpectedly, I haven't felt this kind of fighting will for many years, but today I feel it from this kid."

In front of Mr. Wen's eyes, he seemed to see his heroism when he was young, riding a horse, wielding a sword, and rushing to kill.

"Lele, that's the right thing to do. Just remember one sentence, in this world, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Everything has a cause and effect, and everything is achieved by hard work. Life is like chess. If you are willing, you will gain, and if you accurately grasp the relationship between willingness and willingness, you will go further!" Old Man Wen said boldly.

When Le Fan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Life is like chess, if you give up, you will get something. If you accurately grasp the relationship between giving up and giving up, your life will go further!" Le Fan silently chanted this sentence.

This is a sentence he deeply remembered when he was reading "On Chinese Chess Game" in the university library.

This sentence had such a profound impact on him that after reading it, it seemed to be in his mind.

"Lele, you seem to have some insight, tell me about your views on 'Life is like chess'." Mrs. Wen asked when he heard Le Fan repeating his words.
