Jagged City - Chapter 310 Six Gathering in the Capital

When Lin Tao returned to Xiliang again, not only did he not leave the post of mayor, but he forced out the acting mayor who was originally very popular. 1卍1 Lin Tao's high-profile return made many forces have to bow their heads and move closer to Lin Tao, making the Xiliang government unprecedentedly united.

One month after Lin Tao returned to Xiliang, the creation temple invested and built by the Arab royal family was finally completed. This magnificent antique temple was built according to ancient mythology. It cost 100 billion U.S. dollars and gathered 32 designers. The construction team finally completed it after one year and four months.On the day of the inauguration ceremony of the temple, guests from home and abroad gathered.United Nations religious organizations, religious associations, the Arab royal family, and the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference attended the ceremony in person. Lin Tao, as the mayor of Xiliang City, presided over the scene. Political and senior officials from Northwest Province became spectators. Seeing Lin Tao, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Cui Zhiming, who was in high spirits in front of the rostrum I just feel tightness in my chest. In the past two years, I have been able to move the mayor of a majestic provincial party committee, and let the other party grow bigger and bigger. Now that Lin Tao has taken root in Northwest Province and has full wings, it is even more difficult to deal with it , and just yesterday, the Central Organization Department issued an instruction to add Lin Tao as a member of the Standing Committee of the Northwest Provincial Committee.That is to say, in Northwest Province, Lin Tao had the opportunity to challenge the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and got a seat on the Standing Committee.Cui Zhiming looked at Lin Tao's young face with mixed feelings in his heart. [-] years old, how young, Cui Zhiming of the same age is just a deputy county magistrate.This made Cui Zhiming extremely unbalanced.However, after several games, it was found that Lin Tao was not only difficult to deal with, but also had a very deep background, which made Cui Zhiming, a state councilor, a little confused. Why were all the appointments of Lin Tao directly appointed by the State Council and the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China?Cui Zhiming suddenly felt that he was getting old and it was time to quit the political arena, but the unreconciled anger in his heart was hard to extinguish.

Li Tao is not the only 32-year-old vice-ministerial-level official. Many years ago, the League Central Committee had such a young cadre. The cultivation of the number one successor in China has always been a secret and unknown to outsiders.Although Lin Tao is young, he is not among the trainees of the No. [-] heir.However, in the contest for the pinnacle of power, Lin Tao has obviously become one of the important weights. It's just that Lin Tao doesn't know this yet. While rights and honors follow one after another, the crisis is also approaching Lin Tao step by step. A force Already starting to secretly investigate Lin Tao's background, looking for flaws and evidence against Lin Tao.

One month after Lin Tao was promoted to vice-ministerial-level mayor, Deng Zhan, Wang Zhengdao, Xiao Huating, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Tao gathered in the presidential suite at Mingyue Lake Hotel in Beijing.

Lin Tao is now a big tree, and these elders are both happy and somewhat worried about Lin Tao's future.

Xiao Huating held a teacup to Deng Zhan, Wang Zhengdao and Xiao Xiao and said with a smile: "Now Xiaotao is on an equal footing with me, and I don't dare to put on the old Mount Tai's airs. Maybe in two or three years, I have to give Xiaotao Meet and greet."

Wearing a gorgeous palace-style long dress, Xiao Xiao poured tea for the three elders and her husband Lin Tao. Hearing what her father said, she felt extremely sweet in her heart. At such a young age, her husband has achieved a political career that many people cannot achieve in a lifetime. She is also full of enthusiasm, and her dignified and refined face is also shining brightly.Walking behind Lin Tao's back, he put his little hand on Lin Tao's ear unconsciously, and Lin Tao's heart beat faster.

"I don't dare to be equal to you. If I'm not careful, my ears will have to move." Lin Tao smiled wryly.

"Hey, I seem to see a white hair, why is it gone?" Xiao Xiao smiled and took away her white tender hand, and sat down beside Lin Tao in a very ladylike manner.

Deng Zhan and the others couldn't help laughing, Xiao Xiao had no scruples in front of the three elders, and always acted mischievously, it was hard to imagine that she was already a mother.

Deng Zhan looked at Xiao Xiao carefully, and then said to Xiao Huating and Wang Zhengdao: "Huating, tell me, this girl, I look younger and younger, it feels like when she and Shanshan were in high school. Son, but it looks even more beautiful, my uncle dare not take a closer look at it. It's a bit dazzling! Girl, you don't know how to have plastic surgery, do you?"

"Tch, this is a pure natural beauty, okay? Uncle doesn't know about the [-]th female transformation, he is talking about a natural beauty like me." Xiao Xiao said angrily.

"Well, I think it's still plastic surgery. Has the skin become thicker obviously?"

"Uncle——" Xiao Xiao ran to Deng Zhan's side like a butterfly and shook Deng Zhan's shoulders.

"Okay, if it's another young man, this girl will have a nosebleed if she acts like a baby. Xiao Tao, you have to watch Xiao Xiao girl!" Deng Zhan used to have a serious image, and it was rare for him to joke in private.Although he is Xiao Xiao's uncle, but being acted like a baby by Xiao Xiao makes his heart tremble.

"Uncle, don't worry, she can't escape my palm." Lin Tao laughed.

"Cut, you think you are the Tathagata Buddha, do you want me to knock your head full!" Xiao Xiao raised her fist and said.

"Okay, girl, stop messing around, we still have to talk to Xiaotao about business! You go to your mother's side!" Xiao Huating said dotingly.

"Machismo, talk about boring things, I don't like to listen to it!" Xiao Xiao writhed out of the room.

"You are despised by your daughter. You can't treat Xiao Xiao as a little girl now. Xiao Xiao is the big president now. I heard that the company is doing well." Wang Zhengdao said with a smile.

"That company is very mysterious, it's a secret when the girl asks, and I can't ask one, two, three." Xiao Huating looked at Lin Tao and said.

Lin Tao looked at the curious eyes of the three and said, "It is indeed a secret, and there are many state-level secrets."

Deng Zhan nodded and said, "Your Gaotian International Security Company is very sensitive. Xiaotao has to grasp this measure carefully, and can't use it for someone who is interested."

Lin Tao nodded and didn't say much. Gaotian International Security Company's affairs involved too many military secrets, and he couldn't explain them all even to Deng Zhan.Lin Tao knew that the three elders could only listen and accept their care and love for him.

Xiao Huating said: "When Xiao Xiao went to college, I thought that Xiao Xiao would become a lawyer or a civil servant after graduation, and then find a suitable partner. I don't want to be famous, as long as the two people like each other warmly. I didn't expect Xiao Xiao to fall in love with Xiao Tao. Lin Tao, who was wearing a military uniform before graduation, gave me a sudden surprise. At that time, Xiao Xiao also introduced Xiao Tao and the identity of police inspector. I thought Xiao Xiao had met a liar—unexpectedly, Xiao Tao’s development in the past few years is so amazing, now I’m worried that I’m too happy, sometimes the stimulation is too big, it’s really not easy to accept.”

Wang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Xiaotao is both civil and military, and has attracted a lot of attention from above. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. There are too many people who pay attention, and it is inevitable that he will be used by those who want to. This kind of hidden crisis is disturbing."

"Yeah, when we met last year, we strongly advocated that Xiaotao should hide his strength and bide his time, but the times make heroes, and some things can't be stopped even if they are stopped. Since Xiaotao has been pushed to this position, he should take good care of it , with the support of Zhiyuan in the economy, Xiao Tao will not make economic mistakes. In terms of female sex, Xiao Xiao has an alluring temperament. Any woman standing next to Xiao Xiao will be overshadowed. I don't think Xiao Tao will make this mistake— —”

Lin Tao nodded guiltyly, and couldn't help but slip through Di Anne's seductive appearance and that expression in his mind.

Deng Zhan continued: "In terms of ability, Xiaotao is too outstanding. In the next one or two years, he only needs to defend the city. The development of Xiliang has attracted worldwide attention. As long as there are no major problems or mistakes in principle, there should be nothing wrong. In cooperation with the military, we must grasp the general principle, and put the interests of the country first—”

Deng Xian is now the executive vice premier and one of the country's leaders. He also has some knowledge of Gaotian's actions in Africa and the Middle East.For a while, I was worried that Lin Tao involved too many secrets and had too many contacts with high-level officials, which might not be a good thing.But there are pushers behind many things, and it is not something you can stop if you want to. Just like a flat boat on the cusp of the storm, you can imagine the difficulty if you want to ride the wind and waves.

Deng Zhan thought for a while and said, "Xiaotao, is there any problem with Junlian Group's huge land in Xiliang?"

Lin Tao was startled, probably someone was investigating him, Lin Tao thought for a while and said calmly: "The land was purchased by the group company according to Xiao Xiao's suggestion before the planning of Xiliang New District. At first, they just wanted to save it for welfare and establish orphans. I did not expect the development of Xiliang to be a bit unexpected. When the new district was re-planned, that piece of land was included in the planning scope, which was also unexpected. From a legal point of view, there is no problem with that piece of land. As for people who want to get involved with me, I can't do anything about it, after all, my father is in charge of the group, and Xiao Xiao is one of the shareholders. However, my father has always operated in a law-abiding manner, and there is no tax evasion in the slightest, and others are not easy to criticize."

"It's good that there is no problem. Sometimes some news hype often stigmatizes people, and some things are getting darker and darker. It is the so-called everyone's gold accumulation and destruction of bones. Pay attention to the trend of public opinion." Said without worry.

Lin Tao nodded and suddenly thought of Cui Zhiming, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. This old guy had made small moves against Lin Tao several times, but he was defeated invisible. He wondered if there would be other means.Lin Tao felt that it was necessary to mention it, so he told the three elders about Cui Zhiming.

Lin Tao sighed: "I have only been in contact with Cui Zhiming a few times, and I don't know when I offended him, but whenever there is a chance, this Secretary Cui will jump out. The arrangement of the State Council this time is a bit unexpected. Secretary Cui arranged The acting mayor was squeezed out, and he probably offended him again."

"I know a little bit about Cui Zhiming. He is a veteran politician. He is also capable. He has some contacts with the upper-level leaders. If he is not too old, he can develop further."

Wang Zhengdao said with a smile: "Needless to say, this Cui Zhiming is a typical jealousy, not to mention the jealousy of this veteran politician, even Huating and I are a little jealous of Xiaotao, let alone others."

"That's right, to use that Internet buzzword is to make people 'envious, jealous, and hate', but being upright is not afraid of the shadow, it is precisely because of Lin Tao's uprightness that those plots are stillborn, and Cui Zhiming's development has come to an end. I don't think Cui Zhiming will be able to make any waves because of the attention of the higher-ups." Xiao Huating said slightly jokingly.

"Cui Zhiming is a state councilor, so he still has a certain amount of energy. He will be here in more than half a year. I will give him a push and let him join the CPPCC earlier." A light flashed in Deng Zhan's eyes.Wang Zhengdao and Xiao Huating didn't speak, but just nodded. The two of them couldn't reach out for this kind of high-level contest.

Lin Tao was on the 31th floor. In a presidential suite on the [-]th floor, a slightly reserved young man was being examined by several women.This young man is an engineer of a technology company in Xichang, and is Deng Shanshan's colleague Li Yuliang. He is [-] years old and unmarried, one year younger than Deng Shanshan.It can be seen from the name that his father hoped that he would have the talents of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. This Zhou Yuliang did not disappoint his elders. He graduated from Peking University and has a Ph.D. in astrophysics from MIT. He returned to China a year ago and is now in charge of a national laboratory Large high-tech projects.Deng Shanshan was transferred to this project team after the New Year, and the two got along day and night, and gradually developed feelings for each other, and now they are talking about marriage.

Although Zhou Yuliang is a talented person, sitting in front of Deng Shanshan's mother and Xiao Xiao's mother, there is Xiao Xiao who is constantly looking at her beside her, and she can't help sweating on her forehead, especially Xiao Xiao is so outstanding, and Zhou Yu is sweating for a moment. Of course.

Deng Shanshan stood up from one side and said, "Mom, one mother-in-law is enough for people to suffer. You and your aunt are staring at each other, plus a little sister-in-law. You can't let people live!"

"True gold is not afraid of fire, you forgot how everyone dealt with Lin Tao last year, our guy didn't change his face." Xiao Xiao said proudly.Last year there was also Mrs. Wang Zhengdao, the three wives plus Xiao Xiao and Deng Shanshan, Lin Tao also had a headache.

Deng Shanshan pursed her lips and said, "Your Lin Tao is a pervert."

"You -- you don't have the same knowledge as you." Xiao Xiao also wanted to say that Li Yuliang was a pervert, but this one was sitting right in front of him, so it was really hard to speak, so he could only temporarily be at a disadvantage.

Xiao Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "Li Yuliang, everyone says that you scientists are crazy, and your thinking is different from ordinary people, is it true?"

"Damn girl, how could you ask that?" Mother Xiao pushed Xiao Xiao and scolded.

Li Yuliang wiped his sweat and glanced at Xiao Xiao and said: "Scientists are often very focused on a proposition or a deduction, and sometimes study for several years or even decades. It is not an exaggeration to be called a lunatic. As for thinking differently from ordinary people, That's a personal thing, it's a personality factor."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Now the technological power of the world has not gone out of the solar system, when will you be able to build a spaceship that can go to the moon to play! I will borrow it."

"It's better to go to Mars first, and get a Martian identity first." Deng Shanshan giggled.

Li Yuliang said: "Going to the moon can be done in ten years with the strength of domestic science and technology. It may take several generations of efforts to get out of the solar system."

"Tell me, is it true that there are aliens? I'm more curious about this." Xiao Xiao asked with interest.

"There should be. The planet suitable for life is not the only one. There are endless galaxies in the universe. There should be other intelligent life in the Milky Way. It's just that the distance between the stars is calculated in light years. The distance is too far away. When did the invention of the speed of light Or a super-light vehicle, that may be the moment when star civilizations truly communicate." Li Yu's bright eyes sparkled with excitement.

"If we reach the level of interstellar communication, what if interstellar colonization occurs? The development of our earth is a bit backward. If the earth is ruled by some alien monsters, why not shrink into a corner?"

"Interstellar communication is an unstoppable trend. Even interstellar colonization will promote the progress of mankind. This is unstoppable—"

Listening to Li Yuliang's eloquent talk, Deng Shanshan's mother and aunt were a little confused, and couldn't help secretly hating Xiao Xiao for leading Li Yuliang astray.Quickly coughed and said.

"Well, talking about interstellar civilization is still a bit ahead of its time now. If you talk too much, little sister Xiao Xiao can't understand—"

"Cut, I'm a fan of the Alien Club. I don't know anything. I know more than you. Li Yuliang is not bad, it's quite fun—" Xiao Xiao burst out laughing, and Li Yuliang hurriedly avoided Xiao Xiao's attack. Looking at her eyes, she said in her heart that this is a beautiful woman who is disastrous to the country and the people. If you look at her twice, she will make a fool of herself.Isn't it terrible to have such a sister-in-law?

Li Yuliang didn't know the specific relationship between Xiao Xiao and Deng Shanshan. From the tone of his voice, he felt that she was Deng Shanshan's cousin. She looked like a college student, but she was dressed differently.Li Yuliang couldn't help but said, "Is my little sister still in college?"

"Well, I'm just a freshman, is there any handsome guy in your lab to introduce me to?" Xiao Xiao said coyly.Mother Xiao and Mrs. Deng also covered their mouths and laughed.

Li Yuliang coughed, looked at Deng Shanshan and said, "Is there no one to chase after my little girl with such a temperament?"

"Cut, who is chasing her? After chasing her, you have to buy milk powder for two children every day. Most people can't afford it—hahaha" Deng Shanshan laughed haha ​​after finishing speaking, and was glared at by Xiao Xiao.

"I have a child—" Li Yuliang couldn't believe it.

Deng Shanshan snorted and said, "I know how to use soy sauce. My little sister is an artificial beauty. Don't look young, she is actually a month younger than me."

"Ah—this operation is quite perfect." Li Yuliang sighed, and said to himself, so that's the case, no wonder she looks a little detached from human beings, could it be done in South Korea, and South Korea has never produced such artificial beauties!Li Yuliang fought bravely, and couldn't help but take a second look.

"Ah what ah - just this look!" Xiao Xiao said in an atmosphere.

Deng Shanshan hurriedly said: "I seem to hear my nephew crying, you should hurry up and breastfeed, don't get meddled."

"Cut, boring, a pair of nerds." Xiao Xiao left angrily.

"I'll also go to that house to see, so I won't delay you to see your son-in-law." Mother Xiao also left with a smile.

"Is there really a child?" Li Yuliang asked suspiciously in a low voice, angrily Deng Shanshan secretly pinched Li Yuliang's waist.In his heart, he was thinking about how to deal with Xiao Xiao, this girl is really abominable, she pretended to be tender to seduce her boyfriend, so she didn't make a fool of herself.

Li Yuliang was pinched and became sober.He hurriedly sat upright, and said to Mrs. Deng: "Auntie, Shanshan and I share the same goals and share the same ideals in life. We want to support each other in the future and spend the rest of our lives together. Please allow us to associate with each other."

"Oh, did you date just now?" Mrs. Deng asked with a slight smile.

"We have known each other for a year, and we have been dating for seven months. If Auntie agrees, Shanshan and I want to get engaged first, and get married when the laboratory project ends next year." Li Yuliang said firmly.

Mrs. Deng smiled and said, "Xiao Li, this is the first time we have met. I am not familiar with you yet. Do you want to abduct my daughter?"

"Mom? What are you talking about?" Deng Shanshan said coquettishly.

"It's my fault. I will visit my aunt often in the future." Li Yuliang said quickly.

Mrs. Deng asked a few more questions, and then asked Deng Shanshan to send Li Yuliang away. Li Yuliang left Mingyue Lake Hotel in a state of anxiety.Ask Deng Shanshan at the door how many points he can score.Deng Shanshan snorted and said zero points. After sending Li Yuliang away, Deng Shanshan ran back to the hotel to find Xiao Xiao desperately.

Inside the presidential suit, Deng Shanshan pursued Xiao Xiao relentlessly, using pillows and cushions as weapons.Both Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Xiao couldn't help shouting.Sitting in Mrs. Wang Zhengdao's arms, Tian Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao's daughter, is like a crystal doll, with a delicate pink face, big watery eyes, and two shofar braids. She is invincibly cute.Tiantian pointed her little finger at Deng Shanshan, who was chasing and beating Xiao Xiao, and said: "Aunt Shanshan is bad, beats mother, Tiantian doesn't like Aunt Shanshan anymore."

Tiantian's big watery eyes and red eye circles made people feel infinitely affectionate. Mrs. Deng hugged her and kissed again and again.

"Good granddaughter, why is she so cute? The longer she grows, the cuter she becomes. I don't even want her to leave. What should I do! Yueqin, leave this girl to me, I'm so reluctant." Put it in your mouth.

"I can only see you twice a year—this time, I'm going to live in Xiliang for a month, regardless of Huating." Mrs. Xiao said with a sigh, Tianhuan in her arms had already fallen asleep soundly, and her little mouth was dripping with cuteness. Harazi.Tianhuan Tiantian is twins of dragon and phoenix, a real golden boy and jade girl, now over two years old, can walk, run, speaks quite fluently, looks cute, super invincible, Han Yueqin can't wait to let her husband retire and take the two children together Life.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Shanshan also has a boyfriend. It's not a matter of time before my sister has a grandson."

Madam Deng sighed and said, "I didn't like that Li Yuliang very much just now."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I think that guy is not bad, a scientist, a national project leader, and he looks good too. As long as you don't hate him, it's fine. Anyway, Shanshan likes him, and she wants to spend the rest of her life with him."

Mrs. Deng looked at Shanshan who was fighting and said, "Li Yuliang has studied abroad. I don't know how much western life habits have been contaminated. I am afraid that the two of them will not be married for long."

Mrs. Xiao said: "Scientists are slightly different. They study academics and experiments, and they share the same goals. They should be very happy after marriage."

"You didn't see, Li Yuliang was so stupid when she saw Xiao Xiao—" Madam Deng said dissatisfied.

Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and smiled: "Xiao Xiao, that girl and that man are not stupid to see that! Huating and Zhengdao haven't seen each other for half a year, and suddenly they saw that girl, and they were stunned. This girl is getting better and better every year. Those with poor strength will have to spray nosebleeds on the spot—hehehe—"

"Yes, Xiaotao really has the ability to nourish that girl more and more, her face is like egg white—"

"What did you say, ma'am—it's embarrassing—"

The three noble ladies also laughed together.
