Big man

Back at the small table under the big tree, Jian Xiuhua asked with concern: "Xiaofan, whose phone is it?"

I just vaguely heard Xiao Fan talk about the transfer of cadres on the phone, and mentioned "Uncle Gui", which seems to be an important matter.Xiao Zhan was more sensitive to such matters, but he rarely communicated with his two sons, Jian Xiuhua was understanding, so she helped her husband ask this question.

Xiao Fan said: "It's Gui Qingqiu, the son of Director Gui Gui. He said on the phone that the comrades in the Ministry had a talk with Director Gui, and there may be a change in work. It is not yet clear whether Director Gui will be transferred to work in the Ministry." The job arrangement of the staff may be marginalized."

Xiao Zhan's face darkened slightly.

Jian Xiuhua said in surprise: "Gui Qingqiu's child called you to say this?"

It's no wonder that Jian Xiuhua was surprised. She knew that Gui Qingqiu was the deputy director of the Capital Municipal Bureau, and he was also a second-generation son of a wealthy family.Mr. Gui and Mr. Jian, Xiao Fan's grandfather, had worked together for a period of time, which can be regarded as a kind of friendship.However, the two old men have passed away, and the Jian family and the Gui family do not have much contact.

It is quite normal for the juniors of the two families to communicate with each other. The children of the aristocratic families in the capital city have formed small circles one by one.It's just that Gui Qingqiu wants to transfer work, and his son hastily called Xiao Fan. In Jian Xiuhua's mind, such a thing really doesn't fit Xiao Fan at all.

Can an unemployed deputy director of the Religious Administration manage such a thing?

Xiao Zhan said with a stern face: "Xiao Fan, please do your job well with peace of mind. Don't get involved in such things."

Undoubtedly, Xiao Zhan believed that Gui Qingqiu wanted his son to make this call to Xiao Fan, and wanted to ask the old Xiao family for help through Xiao Fan.But for such an important matter, it would be too childish for Gui Qingqiu to "tactfully" express it in such a roundabout way instead of coming to ask for it in person.

Xiao Zhan is a dignified person, the most particular about rules, and he doesn't like to see this kind of practice.

What is Gui Qingqiu when he is the old Xiao family?Anyone can drive?

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it."

"you?"

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but startled.

"Ah."

Xiao Fan didn't say much.

Xiao Tian interrupted and said: "Brother, isn't it, you can do something like this?"

The tone is full of surprise.He knew that his elder brother was capable. He took care of Ye Da Wang and Er Wang San as if they were playing, and even a cat he raised could scare a Tibetan Mastiff to its knees.

But those are different circles.

The old man of Xiaoguizi's family is a top-ranked deputy director of the Capital Municipal Bureau and a bureau-level cadre.Even Xiao Zhan can't directly intervene in this level of personnel arrangement, and can only exert influence through a series of operations.

Now Xiao Fan says that he will solve it, which is unbelievable.

Because Xiao Fan said "solve", he seemed very sure.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly, and said: "Anything in the world can find a solution, the key is to see if you can find the right method."

Xiao Tian smiled and said: "Brother, isn't this too mysterious? How about revealing a little secret?"

Xiao Zhan also looked over with great concern.To be honest, Xiao Zhan is now more and more interested in everything about Xiao Fan.It's just that due to his serious personality and his father's airs, it's inconvenient to ask some questions.

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, ​​there are some things that can be done but can't be said. If you talk about it now, it won't work."

Xiao Tian scratched his head.

Xiao Zhan's face darkened again.

In his eyes, Xiao Fan was just pretending to be mysterious, and he was still talking about Taoist gods and gods.This is the most difficult turn in Xiao Zhan's heart. Whenever he thinks of Xiao Fan's "occupation", Xiao Zhan will inevitably have lumps in his heart.

The concept of right and wrong in life that has been cultivated for decades is by no means so easy to change.

Xiao Fan glanced at Lao Tzu, hesitant to speak.

Xiao Zhan snorted and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Xiao Fan thought for a while and said solemnly: "Dad, during this period of time, Grandpa has been in good spirits and is handling many things by himself. I have a suggestion..."

"You said."

Xiao Fan turned to the old man and said, "Grandpa, look, do you want Uncle Ye to come back?"

The so-called Uncle Ye refers to Ye Qiyun, who was single-handedly promoted by Mr. Xiao and is currently the secretary of a certain provincial party committee.Like Xiao Zhan, he is the backbone of the Xiao Clan.

At present, the general layout of the Xiao family is that there is a giant at the top to endorse, and the backbone is Xiao Zhan, Ye Qiyun and a group of provincial and ministerial senior officials in their fifties, plus some peripheral forces.

Because of the status of the giant, it is not easy to come forward in person for some matters, and Xiao Zhan is usually responsible for communication and discussion.But Xiao Zhan's personality is too rigid, and some things are not handled very well.And because of his special status, he is the biological son of Mr. Xiao, and other comrades of the big faction, it is difficult to say some things too clearly.

This pivotal position is really very important.

There was a smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he asked with interest: "Why did you invite Uncle Ye back?"

There was a look of encouragement in his eyes.

Xiao Fan said: "That's how I think about it. My dad has been working in the central government for a long time, so why not exchange ideas with Uncle Ye. Now some new policies of the central government are being tested in various places. The advanced experience of the surname."

These words are more subtle, but the meaning is clear.

Now that the old man is personally paying attention to many things, Xiao Zhan's position as the "spokesperson" is not very critical.Moreover, it would be inappropriate for the old man's opinion to be conveyed directly by Xiao Zhan.Ye Qiyun's personality is softer than Xiao Zhan's, and his methods are sophisticated and sophisticated. It is more suitable for him to come to Beijing to take over Xiao Zhan's current position.

Xiao Zhan has been in the center for a long time and has offended too many people, so it is better to let it out and take charge of a province directly.The so-called "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", in a province, the secretary of the provincial party committee is the number one, Xiao Zhan has a stronger personality, and only others can adapt to him, not him to adapt to others.

This kind of strong personality is easier to display in the local area, and it is also easier to achieve results, but it offends far fewer people.

Xiao Fan is suggesting that his father should go out to "avoid the limelight", run a province in a down-to-earth manner, and have the right to speak.In the past, the old man was in poor health, so Xiao Zhan couldn't leave Beijing casually, but now that the situation has changed, the strategy has to be changed naturally.

Xiao Zhan frowned, his face serious.

But with the old man present, Xiao Zhan couldn't express his opinions casually.

The old man sighed softly, and looked into Xiao Fan's eyes, the light flickered.

"Xiaofan, in fact, in our Xiao family, you are the one with the highest enlightened surname...it's a pity."

Xiao Zhan and Jian Xiuhua couldn't help being shocked.

This is a very high praise, old man.

If Xiao Fan didn't "become a monk" and take the road of official career, his achievements would be limitless.Now it is difficult to turn back, the current system and the environment determine this.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Grandpa, all methods are omnipotent. I will try my best to help Xiao Tian."

The old man nodded and said, "That also makes sense. Only when a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend can they prosper. If you perform well, you may be able to give your father and Xiaotian even greater help."

"Ah."

Xiao Fan nodded.

"liberation……"

Xiao Zhan quickly turned to his father.

"You have some things in the future, you can communicate with Xiaofan more. After Xiaotian goes to Hongshan, you don't always have to teach him with a straight face. He is still young, and everything has a learning process. I am still in good health. As much as it can help you, it counts. But birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, no one can say when it will help you, only God knows."

The old man said slowly, with a very solemn tone.

"Ok."

Xiao Zhan quickly nodded in agreement, but the shock in his eyes was hard to hide no matter what.

What the old man said today is equivalent to officially opening the "door" of the Xiao family to Xiao Fan. From now on, Xiao Fan is not only the grandson of the old man, but also the son of Xiao Zhan, and even a member of the "Xiao family" big group. important members.

This is a surprisingly big decision.

Xiao Tian can't think of it that far for the time being, as the old man said, there is a learning process in everything.Now that the father promised that he would not reprimand him with a straight face in the future, Xiao Tian was so happy in his heart, his whole body felt relaxed.

"Xiaofan, pay attention to your sense of proportion, and you must pay attention to the fact that things will be reversed when they are extreme. Too much is too much."

The old man solemnly told Xiao Fan again.

"Yes, Grandpa, I remember."

Xiao Fan also replied solemnly.

At noon, I stayed in the courtyard for lunch and ate with the old man.After eating, Jian Xiuhua called Xiao Fan aside, hesitant to speak.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Jian Xiuhua hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked, "Xiaofan, how did I hear that you were with a foreign girl? That girl still sings in nightclubs?"

Xiao Fan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the news about Ajielina had already reached his mother's ears.

Seeing that Xiao Fan remained silent, Jian Xiuhua became even more worried, and said: "Xiao Fan, Mom, let me explain my attitude to you. This is absolutely not acceptable. Our Xiao family and Jian family are different from ordinary families. If you marry a foreign girl, that is not acceptable. Not to mention working in that kind of place, absolutely not!”

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know it well."

Jian Xiuhua was obviously worried, and said: "Xiaofan, I know you are very smart, just now grandpa praised you. But you are still young, this young man, it is difficult to grasp such things. This mother knows Hurry up and break up with that foreign girl, don't get involved, it's not good to spread it, isn't it? Besides, you are not young anymore, it's time to seriously talk about a girlfriend. Or , Mom will find one for you, okay?"

"Don't worry, it's good to keep the family background, beautiful and sensible, mom will definitely not treat her son badly, will she?"

Seemingly afraid that Xiao Fan would not agree, Jian Xiuhua said again.

"it is good."

Xiao Fan nodded with a smile, but he didn't hesitate.

"Really? Okay, if you have this attitude, Mom will be happy."

Jian Xiuhua didn't expect her son to agree so readily, she couldn't help being overjoyed, with a happy expression on her face. (To be continued.)
