super rich

Zhonghai, the proud city of the Republic.

It is often said that in Yanjing, don't talk about your official university, and in Zhonghai, don't talk about your money.

In fact, Zhong Hai, which is full of feasting and debauchery, is not just as simple as having a lot of money. Chen Mingyuan, who was born in a powerful family in Zhong Hai, knows this very well. Bottomless.Therefore, the drowning of a few city-level cadres in the political circles of other cities is basically shocking news, but the drowning of a few provincial and ministerial-level or even higher-level officials here in Zhonghai may not cause a huge wave. The ripples also quickly calm down, as if nothing happened.

It was midsummer, and the blue sky was dotted with white clouds, like a hot temperature. Zhonghai, a huge and sophisticated city machine, was still running at high speed. In the bright sunshine, roads, tall buildings, and mighty Swinging cars and popular people have become part of the picture scroll embellishing this season.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the urban area, the Chen family’s old house in the suburbs is much more secluded. There are shades of trees in the courtyard, and there is a scent of cooking tea on one side of the corner of the courtyard. The shade of the plane tree renders the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard beautiful Mottled and fragmented, at the same time, there is a concise and cool reading and broadcasting sound resounding.

Under the shade of the plane tree, Mr. Chen was sitting on the rocking chair with his eyes open and closed, facing the gentle breeze, listening to the current affairs news on the radio. After the broadcast was over, he opened his cloudy old eyes and looked at the The birds perched on the branches are thoughtful.

Following the sound of cars stopping and stopping outside, after a while, the iron gate was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps approached from far to near. Along the tree-lined path, a slender and handsome man jumped into view. Imposing, extraordinary.

Seeing him, the old man showed a rare smile.

Chen Mingyuan frowned, and came over and said, "Grandpa, the sun is burning, let's go inside."

Mr. Chen just waved his hand, while the special nurse Li Jie smiled wryly and said, "The old chief said he was bored in the room, so he insisted on coming out to get some air."

Chen Mingyuan knew that when the old man became stubborn, others would not be able to disobey him, so he didn't say any more.

The old man sighed leisurely: "I've said it several times, you are a serious cadre after all, what's the point of running home all day without doing business?"

"Anyway, it's okay on weekends. Now that the expressway is open again, it only takes less than two hours to go back and forth."

Chen Mingyuan sat on the chair next to him, glanced at the messy chessboard, and asked, "Did a guest come here just now?"

The old man nodded, took a sip of the cold tea, and said indifferently: "An old comrade came to visit, and we chatted for a while."

Chen Mingyuan didn't get to the bottom of it. As the party congress was approaching, there would naturally be many guests who came to visit the old man. As for the purpose, it was self-evident!

The old man should be the most respected boss in Zhonghai City at present. At this delicate stage, his decisions and opinions are destined to affect the future of many interest groups and officials in Zhonghai.

In fact, at this time, most of the personnel changes and rotations of many big plates have been finalized. Of course, in the process, the games and compromises of the major factions and groups, but I don’t know how thrilling and ups and downs it is!

However, when he saw his grandfather's increasingly weak complexion, Chen Mingyuan understood that the old man had devoted a lot of energy to the affairs of the family and faction. He heard from his mother that the old man had become more and more mentally deficient these days, and his physical condition was deteriorating. For this reason, Chen Mingyuan came back to take a look.

In the previous life, at this time, it was not far from the end of grandpa.

Unspeakable sadness surfaced in his heart, and Chen Mingyuan couldn't help persuading him: "Grandpa, don't work too hard, your body is the most important thing."

"It's okay, idle is idle, and playing chess and chatting with old friends can pass the time."

The old man put down his teacup, and told Sister Li to go to the house to fill a bowl of iced lotus seed soup. He smiled a little and asked, "It's you, have you been doing well in Qiantang recently?"

Chen Mingyuan said succinctly: "Everything is not bad. Compared with before, the work is much more leisurely, and nothing major happened."

After Ji Mingtang fell from the horse, Dongjiang Province has gone through the initial turmoil, and has regained its long-lost calm, a harmonious and harmonious situation.

After all, Ning Lizhong and Governor Bai are already on the verge of stepping down, and no amount of power and profit will have much impact on the overall situation. Naturally, no one will waste their time and effort.

As a result, Secretary Chen spent a lot of time doing nothing, idle words were not enough to describe his leisurely and comfortable life, from nine to five every day, eating, drinking and sleeping well, he was more energetic, and his body gained a little more fat.

The old man was naturally as transparent as to see the situation of his grandson. Hearing this, he just nodded slightly, and said in a deep thought: "During this time, has Ning Lizhong mentioned anything to you? For example, about your future work arrangements. "

Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "I have talked twice, and I also asked if my family has any work arrangements for me?"

The old man smiled, and scolded: "This Ning Lizhong is quite cunning, you have given him the saddle for so long, there is no credit but hard work, in the end, I didn't arrange for you, but shifted the responsibility to our family! "

But everyone can understand that Ning Lizhong is worried that the Chen family has already arranged a way for Chen Mingyuan. Complain and criticize.

Therefore, tacitly allowing Chen Mingyuan to go home to visit his relatives might not mean letting him communicate with his family first.

"Forget it, since he made his attitude clear, I might as well be straightforward."

Supporting the armrests with both hands, the old man straightened his sitting posture, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Actually, your third uncle discussed your matter with me early in the morning. Once when he was chatting with He Xiangdong on the phone, he also talked about it by the way." I took care of your problem."

Obviously, during the past two years, Chen Mingyuan's series of performances in Dongjiang have initially been recognized by the family and faction. As the eldest grandson and son who is most valued by his mentor, it is reasonable for He Xiangdong to care about him appropriately.

At this time, Sister Li brought the lily and lotus seed soup to the tea table, and the old man waved his hand lightly, and asked her to step aside temporarily, and continued: "Actually, there are almost three ways in front of you. After thinking about it, according to the prospects and environment of these three paths, they are arranged in order of top, middle and bottom."

"The first time the way is the most generous and stable, it is to let you stay in the planning committee for a while. After all, your third uncle came from there and has a lot of contacts. It is not difficult to ask someone to take care of you." The voice of the old man Suddenly turned down, and said: "Besides, at the beginning of next year, there may be changes to the planning committee. If there is no accident, the powers and specifications will be improved. If you go in, although the position will not be too high, you will get a person with real power. The position is not difficult.”

Chen Mingyuan's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected this long ago.

According to the forecast of the future, the Planning Commission will be reorganized early next year, and the Development/Reform Commission, the most powerful power department in the Republic, will also make a grand appearance. After spending three to five years on this platform, and then releasing it outside, it is enough to become the master of one party!

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being officials. During this period, I stayed in the imperial capital where the rich and powerful gathered, and the network of contacts I established will also bring immeasurable benefits to my future development!

As the old man described, the prospect of this road is the most promising!

"This opportunity is rare. Apart from us, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. They are all vying to put their own children in it. Only He Xiangdong and the others are willing to sell this favor because of my thin face. "The old man suggested: "You think about it carefully, your third uncle and I agree."

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think about it, Grandpa, you should understand what I mean."

The old man stared at him for a long time, smiled dumbly, pointed at him and said, "I guessed that you would not like it, when your third uncle wanted to take you up several times, you always ignored him, now Wing It’s hard, and it’s even more impossible to slap yourself.”

"Forget it, although this road is good, but the water in it is too deep, and you have stayed in the provincial party committee for so long, and if you are raised too high all of a sudden, it is easy to become too ambitious, which is harmful to your long-term development. Not good either."

The old man sighed leisurely, and said: "Then, I think you won't like the second way either."

"What way?"

"Youth League."

The old man's eyes were full of kindness, and he said slowly: "The 25-year-old deputy director is still a little younger according to the practice of our country's bureaucratic system. It is not easy to attract attention when you stay in the provincial party committee compound, but if you go You will inevitably receive some attention, and we are worried that you will not be able to bear the pressure. On the contrary, most of the youth league members are cadres who are about your age, and it is not surprising that you are in the early thirties."

Chen Mingyuan understood what Grandpa meant. Compared with the frightening step by step of starting from the local grassroots, the promotion in the central ministries and commissions is much more convenient, the resistance is quite small, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. Especially organizations that reserve cadres like the Youth League, as long as they are not stupid and have a considerable background and background, they can basically get out of it.

What's more, this is a hotbed for breeding dragons!

For example, the next supreme chief is a veritable regiment origin, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have more or less branded regiments are now all over China's political circles, and have already formed a huge group that cannot be underestimated on the power map. And manipulated the future pattern and progress of this great country!

To put it vividly, the Youth League is like a stable and solid stepping stone, which has become a great weapon for contemporary officials to seek promotion in their official careers!

However, Chen Mingyuan didn't take a moment to think about it. He curled his lips and said, "I've had enough free time recently. If I join the Youth League again, I guess I'll be a salted fish soon."

"Yes, this road is smooth, but I'm afraid that if you walk too smoothly, your will will be polished early, and a little wind and waves will easily knock you down."

The old man was obviously dissatisfied with this road. He tapped the teacup lightly with his fingers, his face gradually became serious, and he said meaningfully: "It seems that you still want to take the narrowest and steepest road."

Chen Mingyuan understood and said: "It's okay, while I'm young, I should go through more experience and work at the grassroots level. I thought about it early in the morning."

"You have to think about it clearly. Although this road is the most traditional and formal way of promotion, it is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops to cross."

"But if it can be successfully killed, it will definitely be a veteran soldier!"

The grandfather and grandson asked and answered each other, looked at each other, and laughed tacitly.

The old man laughed resonantly, and said with emotion: "Forget it, with your temper, you must like to challenge. Anyway, you are still young, and it will be fine after a few bumps. I hope this way can polish your rough jade A piece of precious jade!"

"However, I must mention a few words to you."

The old man gently put down the teacup and said: "Ming Yuan, although you are very good, you are still far from the level of a superior person. Of course, I know that it is unrealistic to ask you too much now. What advice should you give to calmly do things?" It's too mysterious, if I really want to say it to the extreme, I hope you can be cold-blooded enough, this so-called cold-bloodedness does not mean that you are ungrateful, but that you will not be driven by external forces in everything!"

"After all, you are younger, and you are not tempered enough. Your vigor will always control your emotions intentionally or unintentionally. If you don't pay attention, you will easily become overwhelmed. You must know that the biggest taboo of being a human being is to be eager for quick success and use your emotions!"

"Let's just talk about Little Japan. Regardless of the hatred of the country and the family, don't look at them now honestly being Lao Mei's grandsons, but their evil intentions are not dead. I look forward to being Lao Mei's grandpa and grandpa as soon as possible. Revenge of bombing."

"Anyone can get angry at the crown. The key point is, is there any confidence in this anger? If you don't have the confidence, it is purely self-inflicted. If Han Xin had an affair with that gangster back then, then the history books of 2000 years It all needs to be rewritten, so you have to keep the word 'controlling anger' in mind at all times."

After talking so much in one breath, the old man heaved a sigh of relief and immersed himself in drinking tea again.

Chen Mingyuan chewed on this incisive and heart-to-heart teaching, and couldn't help thinking of the old man's political career, which had experienced ups and downs. He nodded and said, "I have written it all down, Grandpa."

The old man smiled in relief, and then asked about his daily life, as if his mind was overdrawn again, he suddenly coughed, but waved his hand to stop Chen Mingyuan and the special nurse's persuasion, smoothed his breath, and said: "It's okay, my own body is on its own. Make it clear, God has treated me well, and finally you can give me some more time."

"grandfather……"

Chen Mingyuan had a sore nose, his father died young, and the old man suffered more than anyone else, but he had to continue to grit his teeth to revive the family. Now that he was in his dying years, he still had to worry about himself and his family's affairs all the time.

As if feeling his grandson's emotions, the old man smiled with relief: "Don't think too much, people, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and you can't disobey them. I'm also very content to be able to live to see that you are all safe and sound."

The old man still had piercing eyes, lightly patted the back of Chen Mingyuan's hand, and said earnestly: "Mingyuan, remember what I just said, you still have a long way to go, and the people who support you will follow you as you go further and further away. Slowly reduce, so you have to grasp every support force at each stage, and don't be caught by some small feelings!"

Chen Mingyuan solemnly nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, the old man smiled mischievously: "However, as a grandfather, I still want to see you get married and start a business. At least in the future, there will be one more person who cares about you and stays with you. I can feel completely at ease."

Chen Mingyuan originally wanted to mention the matter between himself and Mu Jiayin, but thinking of his grandfather's physical condition, he held back.

Let's take it easy, now that the old man knows, I'm afraid it will add a lot of psychological burden.

…………

After leaving the old house, Chen Mingyuan drove straight to a coffee shop in the commercial center. Under the leadership of the waiter, he pushed open the door of a box on the second floor.

Inside, in front of the snow-white square table and on the snow-white small sofa, there was already sitting a gorgeous and charming girl, it was Cen Ruohan!

It's been a long time since I saw Cen Ruohan. She seems to be more beautiful than before. She is wearing a black and soft chiffon skirt with suspenders. There are long black tassels hanging from the waist of her upper body. She wears crystal sandals with stiletto heels. The high heels make the instep arch beautifully. She is white and tender, her toes are all upturned playfully, her toes are painted with purple nail polish, and her coquettish appearance is enough to attract the coveted eyes of countless men.

Seeing Chen Mingyuan, Cen Ruohan could hardly conceal the joy on his face, stood up, looked at him carefully for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said happily: "It's not bad, it looks like that. "

Chen Mingyuan joked: "Do you think I am becoming more and more manly? Can't help being tempted?"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, there was a serious thumping in the head, Cen Ruohan raised his hand that was smeared with multicolored Kodan, his almond eyes widened and said: "I haven't cleaned you up for a while, so I forgot the pain in my head, right?" ?”

Immediately, she tilted her head slightly, with a clear and warm smile on her lips, and she said coquettishly, "You're still manly! Let me tell you, no matter how capable you are, no matter how old you are, I will always be your aunt. In my eyes, it's just a child!"

Chen Mingyuan rubbed his forehead that didn't hurt, and kept smiling wryly, but when he saw Cen Ruohan's coquettish and familiar demeanor, he couldn't help but think of this one after he woke up from the nightmare in the old house a few years ago. The woman from my childhood sweetheart appeared in time, relying on her thoughtfulness and tenderness, soothed my confusion and helplessness, and took good care of myself to recover.

Although, in the past few years, he and she have worked hard for their respective careers, and there have been fewer contacts, but Chen Mingyuan still always remembers the words she said: When you are tired outside, come back and take a rest.
