super rich

After walking through the door just now, Chen Mingyuan discovered that the interior of Mujiayuan was actually unique, as Mujiayuan was shuttling through the winding corridors at this moment. The design method, pavilions and pavilions are all available, green rockery, white walls and black tiles, pond pavilions form an interesting contrast, under the early summer, it is full of poetic and picturesque, water town style.

On the second floor of the Xiyuan Pavilion, Chen Mingyuan looked at the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers, and said with a smile: "It is said that the Humble Administrator's Garden is a must-visit place when you come to Sucheng, but if you take a walk in your Mujiayuan, it is almost the same. It's not in vain."

The guest room is very elegant, with ancient sandalwood furniture and a dignified style. After Mu Jiayin came in, she sat down on the wicker chair generously and said with a smile, "If you like it, you can come and stay here often. We welcome you anytime. .”

"Have a heart but not a guts."

Chen Mingyuan just smiled. As one of the few top wealthy families in Huaxia, the Mu family's threshold is so easy to enter. Not to mention the delicate relationship between the Chen family and the Mu family, even if they are close relatives and friends, it is far from his turn. Walk in and out at will.

This time, the two families were just based on political needs, so he expressed their feelings on behalf of the family, paving the way for further in-depth cooperation. After everyone gets what they need, the relationship will still return to the original point.

Cooperation and struggle are always the main theme of politics. As for his personal friendship with Mu Jiayin, Mu Tianyu and others, it is not worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyuan hesitated: "After the birthday banquet is over, will you stay here or go back to Yanjing?"

"Hard to say."

Mu Jiayin leaned on the back of the chair, holding her head with one hand, her black hair hanging down naturally, her beautiful facial features glistening in the sunlight, with a lazy and lazy expression: "To be honest, no matter whether you go to Yanjing still stays at home, there are too many things to worry about, and it is annoying, if I really choose, I still like to travel around freely."

Immediately, she smiled helplessly: "But as you can see, the next six months will be a critical period for our families, and every profit must be fought for with all our strength. My mother My body is not as good as before, and I can't handle many affairs by myself, as a member of the family, I must do my best."

Chen Mingyuan nodded silently. During the Great Revolution, the Mu family was almost devastated. Compared with the situation of the Chen family, it was even more tragic. The old man of the Mu family suffered a lot and passed away in a few years, and the old lady of the Mu family was no better. Where to go, my legs have almost failed, and I have been unable to move around these years. It is rumored that I can only lie on a couch and sit in a wheelchair most of the time.

As a result, the influence of the Mu family among the older generation has been weakened. When the family is facing major problems, Mu Jiayin must come forward to provoke this responsibility.

Looking at the Mu family, except for the second son Mu Dingyin, she is probably the only one who is qualified to negotiate and negotiate with Qu Lao and other state elders on an equal footing.

Looking at her slightly tired eyebrows, Chen Mingyuan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but said: "Although some things are imminent, don't be too tired, you have to leave yourself some room to breathe... If you are really bored, you can Come to Qiantang again, everyone will drink and chat like before, anyway... I will always keep your house for you."

Mu Jiayin looked at him, her bright blue eyes flickered slightly, and unknown emotions passed by. Under the glow of the warm sun, her face suddenly became a little warmer, and she said with a smile: "I think I have been conceited and unruly for most of my life. , I have very few friends, but it is my luck to get to know you."

"Isn't it Qingxue?"

"You are different from her. She only thinks about making money. Every time I get together with her, I talk about business in less than three sentences. It's meaningless. There are many rules for drinking. She only drinks good red wine and foreign wine. , but also sip and drink slowly, I can't stand it."

Mu Jiayin lazily rocked the rattan chair, squinted her eyes and smiled, "It's better to have a drink with you, and to say whatever you want, without so many twists and turns."

Chen Mingyuan also smiled sincerely. Indeed, although she has many friends, she is probably the only one who can speak freely.

"cough!"

Suddenly there was a clear cough at the door, and Ye Qingxue walked in slowly, with an unhappy expression on her face, and said in a cold tone: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, but please close the door tightly if you two want to talk about people's right and wrong in the future." .”

"It's over, I've been caught." Mu Jiayin covered her mouth and snickered, stood up and put her arms around her friend's shoulders, teasingly said: "Hey, Mr. Ye is not so narrow-minded, just say that your drinking taste is elegant, I can't get used to it, but I didn't say anything bad about you."

Ye Qingxue hummed twice, still sulking.

Mu Jiayin blinked slyly at Chen Mingyuan, as if saying that you should take the blame first, and said: "There are a lot of guests coming today, I have to go down to greet you, I will let Tian Yu take you to dinner first, in the afternoon Play around again, and when the dinner starts, I'll ask you to come over."

After speaking, she left lightly.

The instigator slipped away, and Chen Mingyuan inevitably became the scapegoat. He was stared at by Ye Qingxue for a while, feeling uncomfortable, and smiled dryly to cover up his embarrassment, and said: "After driving for so long, you are also tired. No, let's go to eat first, and take a rest later."

Ye Qingxue was grinding her silver teeth. It seemed that the friendship that had been cultivated with great difficulty was broken again.Gouged him out, and was about to turn around and go out, but when he reached the door, he hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Hey, you... do you really feel that being with me is particularly boring..."

Chen Mingyuan smiled and said, "Why, you have your own style of doing things. If it was really boring, I wouldn't have talked to you so much on the way just now. As for her, it's not like you don't know her. She's used to being free and easy, so naturally I don't like so many restrictions and rules."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxue seemed relieved, looked away, hesitated to say: "Then you... who do you think it's easier for me and Jiayin to be together?"

Chen Mingyuan rubbed his nose, unable to figure out why this strong woman is so vulgar, she likes to let men make evaluations and comparisons, and said ambiguously: "It's really hard to say, it should be considered that each has its own characteristics, you are more stable, she is more casual." Sex."

President Ye's expression was still filled with vague expectations at first, but after hearing this sentence, his face became darker, and he looked a little disappointed. He snorted and walked out sullenly.

Chen Mingyuan stayed where he was, laughing and laughing, the woman felt a needle in her heart, and she really couldn't explore it.

At this time, Mu Tianyu came in again, with a strange expression on his face. Obviously this kid also heard the conversation just now, and was afraid of being involved in this romantic dispute, so he simply stood outside and pretended to be a wooden man.

"Let's go eat first, I'll make the kitchen arrangements." Mu Tianyu pointed to the courtyard in front as if nothing happened, and said, "It's time for dinner, and there are still some guests here, maybe we can meet some acquaintances .”

Chen Mingyuan hesitated a little, which reminded him.

For the birthday of the old lady of the Mu family, apart from herself, there must be many aristocratic families and dignitaries who will personally or send people to celebrate her birthday, and to be a guest of the Mu family, most of them must have a special status. This was originally a good opportunity to get rich, but For Chen Mingyuan, at present, he does not need to participate in such a special occasion. In addition to dealing with and dealing with it carefully, he may also have to be involved in some complicated relationship networks, which is really not worth the candle.

It's just a meal, it's better to be clean.

Seeing Chen Mingyuan's reluctance, Mu Tian thought about it for a while, then woke up, patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Blame my negligence, a bunch of noisy people make it uncomfortable to eat." After thinking about it, he suggested: "Then I'll ask the kitchen to bring the food, but the room is stuffy, so why not go to the water pavilion downstairs, where the scenery is nice and cool, and your appetite will be better."

Chen Mingyuan thought it was not bad, so he readily agreed.

Mu Tianyu occasionally has a reliable time, this pavilion is located in the center of the pool, it is early summer, above a pool of clear water, the glowing lotus blooms in the layers of green shadows, and the sweet fragrance of grass and flowers is wrapped around it. The wind is blowing, and in every breath, there is refreshing moistness and freshness. Looking at the surrounding green trees, I just feel refreshed.

The meals in the kitchen were served on the stone table one after another, and the three of them chatted while eating, enjoying the wonderful scenery, which was extraordinarily leisurely and comfortable.

Remembering that he didn't see Mu Dingyin, Dong Zhenying and others in the front hall just now, Chen Mingyuan asked, "Why didn't you see your parents?"

Mu Tianyu buried his head in eating and drinking, and replied: "My dad still has some business to do today. He should be on the plane at this time, and he will arrive in the evening. My mother and sister will be with him."

Suddenly thinking of something, Mu Tianyu turned his head and said, "Sister Ye, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Lingnan Province, after this party congress, is he sure to step down?"

Ye Qingxue frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "I've been in Dongjiang all this time, and the news from Lingnan is a little unclear, but judging from the previous rumors, there is basically no suspense."

Mu Tianyu was overjoyed, and clapped her hands and laughed, "Great! If this is the case, then my dad should go up, hehe, our family has been waiting for so long, and finally we have a political/bureau quota!"

Ye Qingxue wanted to say more, but she seemed to have scruples, so she kept silent.

Chen Mingyuan saw her demeanor and knew that this matter could not be concluded.

At present, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in Lingnan is old and frail, and it is basically a consensus that he will step down. As the second in command, Mu Dingyin does have great hope of succeeding with his age advantage and background and achievements. However, what cannot be ignored is that the political Political and economic status are too important. The top leader is usually a political/bureau member, and there is a great probability of becoming the core of national power in the future!

In the past two years, the change of the secretary of the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee must have most affected the high-level nerves, right?The game and competition behind the scenes must be far more intense and severe than imagined!

It is probably based on this factor that the Mu family chose to cooperate with the Chen family at this stage, hoping to use Mr. Chen's influence in the Zhong Hai department to give Mu Dingyin a powerful bargaining chip in his position!

After all, Mr. Chen's statement will more or less affect the decision-making of the supreme chief.

Of course, through this cooperation, the Chen family will definitely gain some benefits. Politically, both Chen Guoliang and Cen Ruiwen are strongly recommended by the Chen family. Needless to say, Cen Ruiwen's qualifications and status are there. The old man and He Xiangdong both want him Entering the latest Politics/Bureau, to carry a banner for the Chen family and the Zhonghai faction. As for the third uncle, he has initially gained a firm foothold in Jinling City after being airborne by the planning committee, but it cannot be said to be sure. If you can't successfully become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in the first reelection, it will be difficult for you to develop your career in the future.

Therefore, it was a wise choice to help Cen Ruiwen and Chen Guoliang to the top with the help of the Mu family's strong background in Sijiu City and Jianghuai Province.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyuan suddenly felt that he was shouldering many far-reaching missions in celebrating his birthday this time. I hope that everyone can get a satisfactory result in the end of the cooperation!

When he was full of thoughts, suddenly a very gentle and pleasant baritone voice came from not far away, "Is it Tian Yu?"

The three of them looked back, and saw a man coming along the curved corridor, with sharp edges and corners, straight nose, sharp lips, and elegant attire, making him look outstanding and elegant.

Mu Tian was stunned for a moment, then stood up, and said with a smile: "So it's Director Kou, long time no see... Oh, look at my memory, I should change the name to Mayor Kou."

"Tian Yu, you are a joke, second brother!"

Mayor Kou walked to the pavilion, punched Mu Tianyu on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's just an ordinary deputy mayor who is temporarily on duty. You shouted one after another, so that the uncles could hear you. I'm embarrassed."

Mu Tianyu seemed to have some friendship with this person, and jokingly said: "He is a serious department-level cadre anyway, think about it, there are not many real-time deputy department officials under 30 years old in the whole country. For one thing, most of them are still idle jobs in the youth league committee, and they are not on the same level as Brother Kou at all."

"You kid is determined to put a high hat on me. Alas, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. I can only put it on for you honestly."

Mayor Kou pretended to blame him, but his face was full of smiles, he spoke gracefully, and showed a calm and sophisticated official manner in his gestures. He glanced at Ye Qingxue and said pleasantly, "This is Mr. Ye from Lingnan Huayu Group, I met you at the World Expo in Kunming."

Ye Qingxue got up and shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Mayor Kou has a good memory. He just said a few words in a hurry. It's been so long, but you still remember them."

"It's natural. President Ye is a young woman, but she can achieve such a big business by herself. The project she undertook at the World Expo was widely praised, which opened my eyes as a member of the organizing committee at that time." !"

Mayor Kou is obviously very good at talking with people. When he speaks, he is polite and his eyes are always a bit sincere, which makes people not feel the slightest bit of life, as if he is reminiscing with an old friend. Chen Mingyuan can't help staying After thinking about it for a while, I just feel that this person's handling of human relationships and social interactions has almost reached the point of perfection!

Considering that this person is only 30 years old, he is already the mayor of a prefecture-level city.

"Who is this……"

After the mayor Kou greeted the two of them, he shot his gaze at Chen Mingyuan, looking at him quickly.

"Get to know each other!" Mu Tianyu pointed to Chen Mingyuan and said, "This is my good brother Chen Mingyuan, a cadre from Dongjiang Province!"

"Second brother, just now you insisted that I put a high hat on you, so I might as well wear another one!" Mu Tianyu enthusiastically promoted: "You can be a mayor at the age of 30, and my brother is not bad at the age of 25." At this age, you are already a real-time deputy director, and you are also the secretary of Dongjiang Provincial Party Committee Secretary Ning Lizhong, how about it, I remember when you were at this age, you were still writing manuscripts in the Central Office, right?"

Mayor Kou’s eyes flickered, and the smile on his face increased instead of diminishing. He solemnly stretched out his hand and said, “It’s really extraordinary! Hello, let me introduce myself, Kou Beiyan. Second brother, you can call it that too, it sounds kind."

Chen Mingyuan shook it lightly and said with a reserved smile, "Hello, Mayor Kou."

Mayor Kou didn't care about Chen Mingyuan's 'recklessness', and laughed loudly: "It's easy to say, you are a friend of Tian Yu and Mr. Ye, so of course you are also my friend. You need to get closer in the future."

Chen Mingyuan once again secretly lamented the depth of this person's city. When meeting for the first time, before finding out the details of each other, he would definitely have reservations about communication, but Kou Beiyan skillfully left enough room, invisible, allowing the two There is enough opportunity to have a deep friendship in the future!

Being a human being for two generations, Chen Mingyuan has been in contact with the children of the powerful and powerful like a carp crossing the river, but among his peers, Kou Beiyan is undoubtedly an odd number that he has to pay attention to!

"Second brother, have you eaten yet, why don't you add more chopsticks."

Mu Tianyu noticed that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so he smoothed things over in a timely manner.

Kou Beiyan waved her hands and said with a smile: "Let's find another chance in the evening. I had already drank a lot inside just now, so I came to the courtyard to get some fresh air. Since you are here to enjoy the scenery, I won't disturb your pleasure."

Mu Tianyu persuaded him to stay a few times with 'enthusiasm', and seeing Kou Beiyan leave 'resolutely', he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "This guy, after a few years of experience outside, his ability is getting better and better."

Seeing that Chen Mingyuan was still deep in thought, Ye Qingxue explained: "I heard about this person from the good news before, and he is considered to be the best of the younger generation in the capital's aristocratic circle. It is said that he is now in a city in the northwest. Served as deputy mayor."

Chen Mingyuan pondered for a while, and asked, "His grandfather, is he Old General Kou?"

Old General Kou was also one of the founding fathers of Megatron Huaxia, with outstanding military achievements. Although he has passed away, his influence in the army is still good, especially in the Midwest and Northwest Military Regions. Nicknamed the Northwest King, in terms of seniority, the energy is far higher than that of the Qiu family and the Jia family, and in the 80s of the last century, General Kou and Qu Lao served as the deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee, one of the eight elders who governed the country. a member!

Mu Tianyu hesitated for a while, and then added: "It seems that he has some meaning for my aunt..."

Chen Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned deeply.
