Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

  Lian Zhongyong, secretary of the Dongshi Municipal Party Committee, is indeed quite young, only 36 years old. In recent years, with the prosperity of the ceramic industry and antiques industry, with the capital injection of the two giants of Hong Kong Jiahui International Group and China Group, Dongshi has become the second largest economic city in Qinghai Province. Coming to Dongshi City to take up a post can be described as a lack of fertility, and you can earn political achievements at any time. Lian Zhongyong can become the top leader of the Dongshi City Party Committee at a young age. Of course, he has quite a background.

According to people in the upper circles of the East City, the secretary of the company was the eldest son of the former governor of Gan Province. The governor of the company had just reached retirement age. It is rumored that he may be transferred to the state ministries and commissions due to his good political performance. .

  No wonder Lian Zhongrong dared to mention background in front of Xia Zhiyuan that day. Ordinary people really can't afford this background.

  These are just speculations by people in Dongshi. According to reports, the secretary of the company has been acting low-key since he took office last year and never mentioned his family background. However, his brother Lian Zhongrong walks in the business world and often makes a statement from time to time. Everyone also knows that Lian Zhongrong is a young secretary, and it is certainly not easy to be a leader in East City. So guessing and guessing, among the senior officials in the country, he only guessed the governor of the company. Over time, there were rumors like this.

  These rumors, Xia Zhiyuan rarely asks. Xia Zhitao knew very well that he had many friends with wine and meat, and he often heard these gossips when drinking. [

  This evening, when Xia Shao came back, and asked during the meeting, Xia Zhitao shook out all the gossip he had heard.

When Xia Shao went home, everyone in the old Xia family was happy. Even the two old people drank some wine during the dinner. Xia Zhitao drank the most, and his tongue was a little bigger. He said everything, "What low-key? I think it's fake. He didn't want to mention his family background, why didn't he control his brother? The grandson of Lian Zhongrong was outside every day. How did he get the investment quotas for the two private kilns in our city and the investment in the ceramic industry? His brother is not the Secretary Lien. There are too many people who are robbing this kind of money-making business. He has the turn of a foreigner who came to him last year? I don’t believe the Secretary Lien doesn’t know! Really avoid suspicion, these two brothers shouldn’t come to the East together. In the city, I think these two brothers came to our East Market to get a vote, one to get money, the other to get political achievements, and then take the swordsmanship. Keep a low profile with us, that’s because they don’t want to talk to us, and they don’t even bother to be in our east. Shilu! My heart is big!"

"Zhitao, you can just talk about these things at home, go out and drink too much with your friends, and you can keep the door open. Do you know?" Xia Zhiyuan frowned, he didn't like to inquire about officialdom. Some things cannot be listened to, and some cannot be said. Today, my daughter asked about these words, so I don’t care if I talk about them at home. It is inevitable that the wall will have ears outside, and it will be a curse if people hear them. He knew Xia Zhitao's temperament, and he dared to say these things outside.

   "Brother, isn't Xiao Shao asking this..." Xia Zhitao lifted his eyes with Cai.

"Xiao Shao is asking what you have heard, have you asked about your views on Secretary Lien? Don't express your views. If you don't know how many sentences are accurate, you will know how to bring it out to Hu Xianpai!" Jiang Qiulin stepped on her husband secretly He kicked him and quickly scolded him, and after the scolding, he smiled flatteringly at Xia Shao, "Xiao Shao, your uncle is just like this. He is happy to see you come back. After drinking two glasses of wine, you will treat him as nonsense."

  Xia Shao smiled slightly, with a deep smile.

  Don’t say anything, these things Xia Zhitao said are rarely reasonable.

   "My dad's words are reasonable, and the gossip in officialdom should be avoided outside." Xia Shao glanced at the table, especially Xia Zhitao. Even if he makes sense, he has to be beaten and beaten. These words, with his temperament, really dare to say outside.

   "Hey, hey! Be jealous, be jealous..." Xia Zhitao was afraid that Xia Shao would look at him, and a faint glance would make him frightened. Especially when I came back from abroad this time, I always feel that the majesty is more majestic than before. I wanted to ask how the mural came back from a large group like Laidis, but he didn't dare to ask. I'm afraid that there is any commercial matter involved, which violates Xia Shao's taboo. Xiao Shao is the most taboo for others to inquire about Huaxia Group. Isn’t that even Zhongrong’s taboo?

Even Zhongrong’s deep thoughts about Xia Zhitao are not known. He just knows a lot of people and has a lot of news. He has heard that Zhongrong went to the China Charity Foundation several times to see Xia Zhiyuan some time ago, but was rejected. Outside the door. Xia Zhiyuan seldom did such unsympathetic things. The man was still the younger brother of Secretary Lien. When Xia Zhitao was curious, he inquired and laughed.

  There is nothing else to say, kid, wait for it!

  ……

  This evening, Xia Shao is more concerned about another piece of good news than congratulations on the family table.

  Zhang Ruman got his wish in the college entrance examination this year, and was admitted to the Beijing Military Academy with the provincial college entrance examination results. Just three days after receiving the admission notice, he will return to Dongshi tomorrow!

"Your sister-in-law and his family are in Qingshi, and they invited the leading colleagues in your uncle's unit. I heard that you came back today, and they ordered a banquet for tomorrow a few days earlier. It means that they will come back tomorrow and invite the family to eat. Meal!" Li Juan said to Xia Shao when she was taking a break.

  Xia Shao heard about this incident when she was in Hong Kong. As soon as Zhang Ruman received the admission letter, Li Juan happily called her daughter to announce her happy birthday. It was just that Xia Shao raised her eyebrows imperceptibly when she heard that she was going to eat at the hotel tomorrow, then smiled and nodded.

  After dinner, the night was dark, Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao left, and the two elderly people stayed at home. Xia Shao helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. After she came out, Li Juan sent her to rest, but Xia Shao said she was not tired, and went to the living room to sit and chat with her grandparents and parents. Xia Shao didn't go home one summer vacation. Xia Shao also knew that her parents missed her. This time she could only stay at home for a week. During this time, she had to visit Qingshi, the headquarters of Huaxia Group, and then school started.

   Therefore, Xia Shao simply went to bed later and sat down to chat more with her elders.

  This chat talked about the return of the mural. In the face of her parents and the two elderly people, she didn't mind revealing something, because she knew they wouldn't say anything. [

  Xia Shao still concealed a lot of details about these things, but only a few words of ambiguity about the process shocked the family.

"You, you asked for 10% of the shares of the Ladis Group for running errands? Then, how much does that have to be?" The two old people didn't understand and Li Juan didn't understand this. In the past two years, Xia Zhiyuan had some insights and immediately I feel that I am only middle-aged and will have a heart attack. The latest chapter of my stunner wife.

"Okay! That's how it should be! Those foreign devils grabbed a lot of things from us back then!" Xia Guoxi didn't understand such things as shares. He only heard his granddaughter say that these shares were used to trade with the Ladis Group to contain them. He was excitedly applauded for not allowing Chinese national treasures to be auctioned for ten years. But after the applause, he couldn't hold back the look of his granddaughter's eyes, and coughed and stopped talking.

  Jiang Shuhui and Li Juan do not care about these things, they only care about Xia Shao’s marriage. Jiang Shuhui put down the tea from her granddaughter, took her hand, patted, and looked lovingly, "Look, this big event is done, but the marriage is late. For girls, the marriage is a big event after all..."

  Xia Zhiyuan was taken aback and turned around, "Mom, it's an engagement, not a marriage."

  Jiang Shuhui glanced at her son and frowned. The old lady is slow-tempered. Even if she disagrees with this, she speaks unhurriedly. "A girl’s reputation is the most important thing. Betrothed means to be the future daughter-in-law of the man’s family. The future relationship is justified. This is still not a big deal. , Then in your father's heart, what is the big deal?"

When the public opinion of the Huaxia Group was turbulent some time ago, Xia Zhiyuan and his wife were afraid that the two elderly people would be worried and frustrated by listening to the gossip in the village, so they simply took the two elderly people home and let Li Juan go out to buy vegetables all day long to take care of them. In the house, the old man doesn't have to go out, and he won't hear any gossip. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the two old men have heard something. Jiang Shuhui has always been heart-warming, it doesn't matter if the China Group is gone, the granddaughter doesn't have to be so busy all day long! The key is the marriage. The marriage is set quickly, and you will have a big fat boy in the future, and you just need to live your life well.

  The old lady has a down-to-earth idea, and big things are not as important as her granddaughter’s marriage.

  Xia Zhiyuan choked, Li Juan glanced at her husband and held back a smile. She still doesn't know his thoughts? Last time Xiao Xu came to visit, he admitted that he still wanted to keep his daughter for a few more years. Someone robbed his girl, of course he didn't feel like it.

"Mom, don't worry. The engagement date has already been settled. The date in August is late, so we will do it on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month! That was also a good day, just the day before the New Year’s Eve. Didn’t you say it before? Is it late? , Rushed to the New Year, our family went to the capital, this year has passed in the capital!" Li Juan smiled.

   "It used to be before, isn't something wrong?" Although the old lady was wide-hearted, she was not stupid. Some time ago, it was said that the Xu family would regret their marriage. The old man said all day that the old chairman was not that kind of person. How can the man not speak while the woman is hot? Whether to marry the Xu family or not is not the most important thing. The important thing is this granddaughter, who has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. Then the Xia family can prepare for the marriage. Don't let outsiders watch, such a good granddaughter seems to be rushing to the door. This can't be done!

  Xia Shao smiled when she heard the words, and just wanted to comfort her grandma, telling her that when she returned to the capital, she met with the old man and talked about it, and then the family would prepare. Anyway, there are still several months, isn't she just coming back? It has to be done the same, not in a hurry.

Before I could speak, Li Juan smiled, with a red light on her face, "Mom, don't worry. Xiao Xu called me early! He said that Xiao Shao will come to our house before school starts. , Sent her the day of engagement, and picked her up to start school by the way."

Ok?

  Xia Shao raised her brows.

Li Juan happily said: "Xu Xu, silly boy, I told him, how can I give it away on the day of engagement? According to the old rules, the day of the engagement is always brought to the door with a wedding gift, and on the day of the wedding, the man and woman sit together. , Just set up a banquet to invite guests. Xiao Shao has not graduated from university, don’t you have to wait to get married? Let’s organize the engagement banquet first, and give the two children a proper name. As for the day of the engagement banquet How can it be delivered specially? But this child has to be delivered. How can the older generation have this rule? I and Lao Xia are discussing this matter these days. Your two elders are here today, or give me an opinion?"

   "Yo! So anxious?" The old lady was stunned. She had originally thought that she would just ask the Xu family to say hello, but she didn't expect that she would have to come and send it off on the day of the engagement and the banquet?

  "Will it be too grand?" The old generation does not have this rule, and the old lady can't make up his mind...

  Xia Zhiyuan stood aside and did not speak. He was very contradictory and restricted the full text of Dragon God to read. Ordinarily, if the kid wanted to abduct his baby girl, of course he had to let him focus. The whole world knew that he was going to marry his baby girl! From now on, he dare not bully her, dare not make mistakes. But he doesn't want to be too pompous. He always feels that his family is not that pompous family...

  When encountering such a major event, the family had no idea, and habitually looked at Xia Shao. Since she emerged in business, she has existed in this family like a home. Whenever something is difficult to decide, the family habitually asks her opinion. Even if she is talking about her marriage now.

  Xia Shao sat in a chair, holding a tea cup, smiling sweetly now. A twenty-year-old girl still has the face of a young girl, with delicate eyebrows in the warm yellow light of the living room, and her pink jade-like face, which makes people want to touch it when they look at it, which is so gratifying. But her smile made the whole family stunned. This smile is sweet and sweet, but why does it look a little bit grinning?

  Xia Shao smiled in the gaze of a family member, and looked down. [

  Okay, someone has learned to cut first and then play...

  The girl’s eyes dropped for a moment, and a killing light passed by. At this moment, it was far away in a villa in the capital.

  When the man was alone in the villa, he rarely turned on the light. On the floor of the living room in the house, large and small things were placed. The man is holding a piece of paper in his hand, walking and going between these things, every time he sees something, he draws the same, and carefully examines it.

   Scratching, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Dongshi as if feeling sentimentally, his eyes were light and soft, watching, watching, bowing, and continuing.

In the living room of the Xia family, Xia Shao slowly took a sip with a tea cup, and smiled: "Ask me what do you do? How many of you are the elders. I'm going to bed first, grandparents, parents, don't worry too late. "

  After that, Xia Shao got up with a smile, walked out of the yard slowly, and really went back to the house to sleep.

   just returned to the room, closed the door, Xia Shao glanced at the living room and chuckled. She doesn't give advice on this kind of thing! Originally worrying about the marriage of children is the pleasure of the elders, she decided, how boring? Let them go.

  ……

  Xia Shao slept for a good night, and when she woke up early the next day, she seemed to have no worries about seeing her parents. After asking, they found out that the two decided to follow Xu Tianyin last night. Regarding marriage customs, as long as the two families are happy, they can do whatever they want.

  Xia Shao smiled, and went to eat breakfast at the table. After finally going home, she became an idler that day, did nothing all morning, and went back to the house to lie down for a long time. Li Juan knew that she was tired and hard to rest, so she looked into the house a few times distressedly, but didn't bother. But in the afternoon, Xia Shao couldn't lie down anymore.

  Zhang Ruman is back.

  Zhang Qixiang and Xia Zhiqin’s couple set the banquet in a five-star hotel in Dongshi. Zhang Qixiang also knew friends and comrades-in-arms in Dongshi. His daughter was admitted to the Beijing Military Academy, which is also a happy event for the Zhang family. This time, relatives and friends should have invited them together, but Zhang Qixiang’s family knew that Xia Shao didn’t like the excitement, so they arranged a family dinner tonight. Only the close relatives of Zhang’s and Xia’s families came in the hotel’s private room. Set a big table.

  At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Zhiyuan drove to the hotel with his parents, wife and daughter. When he reached the door, Xia Zhiyuan was stunned.

  I saw, there are large flower baskets standing on both sides of the hotel entrance, with the words "Warmly celebrate our province's college entrance examination ranking student Zhang Ruman's gold list titled Beijing Military Academy!"

Both Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan were stunned, and then Xia Zhiyuan smiled: "The little brother-in-law is so happy this time. I haven't seen him so high-profile before. This time it is a rare high-profile time for a girl. You go in first, and I'll buy two hangers. When the firecrackers come, let go of them in a while."

  Xia Shao smiled, and glanced at the flower basket, "Dad, go in."

   "Huh?" Xia Zhiyuan was taken aback.

   "If my uncle wants to talk about this, I might have bought the firecrackers early. Let's go in and have a look."

"Really..." Xia Zhiyuan reacted after his daughter said so. Zhang Qixiang's family even bought the flower baskets. Can they forget to buy firecrackers? He was happy and confused. "Then go ahead and talk about it. I'm a carpenter. Emperor."

  Li Juan and Xia Shao supported the two old people, Xia Zhiyuan led them, and entered the elevator amid the gaze of the hotel attendants. When I arrived at the private room reserved by Zhang Qixiang's family, when I arrived at the door, I saw it was lively.

  Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao have not yet arrived. The spacious private rooms are all relatives of the Zhang family at the moment, but these relatives all stood in the room with panic expressions, grinning at the two people in the room.

  The two stood with their backs to the door, and the words in the room were coming out.

   "How embarrassing it is. Although it is a good thing, it is not necessary to even the secretary to come in person..." Zhang Qixiang smiled awkwardly. Today this is really a distinguished guest, and it is still uninvited.

   "Hehe, this is also the glory of our Dongshi city. It is right to come and congratulate him. Captain Zhang has cultivated a good daughter." Lian Zhongyong spoke in a gentle and gentle voice, without hurries.

  "The secretary has won the award, please sit down, please sit down!"

  Until Zhang Qixiang uttered these words, it seemed that Zhongyong didn’t realize that the people in this room were still standing, and said, “Why are you all standing? Sit down soon.”

   After that, the person next to him pulled a chair for him, and he was about to sit down. Someone in the Zhang family happened to look up, and his face changed when he saw the door.

   "Xia, Xia Dong?"

  Xia Shao and Zhang's family have not met a few times, and the people inside are astounding to see her, but the Zhang family's people recognize her.

Everyone in the room raised their eyes, and the two with their backs to the door turned around. Both were men in their thirties. One of them, Xia Shao, had already met outside the airport lobby last night. It was Lian Zhong. Rong. On the other hand, the other person, of medium stature, with facial features not called handsome, is considered clean, and he smiles very easy-going, and belongs to a person who makes people look close at a glance.

  Xia Shao smiled faintly and did not say hello. He entered the door with his parents first, arranged for the two old people to sit down, and then turned around and smiled: "This is the secretary of the company?"

  Lian Zhongyong looked very happy to see Xia Shao, stretched out his hand and smiled: "Xia Dong, I have heard of the name for a long time. I only saw him today when I took office last year. It's really a pity."

   "Even the secretary is praised, you personally congratulate the high school students in the city. Such good officials who are close to the people and caring for the people only met today. It should be my regret." Xia Shao smiled and shook hands with Lian Zhongyong.

  Lian Zhongyong smiled suddenly a little embarrassed, "I also heard that Dong Xia came here today, so I stopped by to congratulate him. Some time ago when he was abroad, Dong Xia really won glory for the country and the East Market!"

   "Thank you, Secretary Lian, congratulations. It is an internal matter to win glory for the country. When I was in a foreign country, Secretary Lao Lian took care of Huaxia Group’s industries in the East Market."

  Lian Zhongyong is embarrassed again.

  You and me, the people in the room can't hear the foreign voice, but they can see it. Dare to love the secretary to come over today, it is for the face of Xia Dong! No wonder……

  Lian Zhongrong smiled more awkwardly next to him. He understood the meaning of these words, and he knew that the events of the previous period caused Xia Shao. Today I asked my eldest brother to come forward to intercede, but it seems that it’s not going well...

  Sure enough, Xia Shao turned around and smiled at Zhang Qixiang: “It’s really an honor for the secretary of the family banquet to visit today. Uncle, do you want to add two chairs?”

   "No, no, since it's a family dinner, I don't want to bother you. I will invite Xia Dong Xuxu another day." Of course, even Zhongyong understood Xia Shao's meaning, she said it was a family dinner, and obviously didn't want to keep anyone.

   took a deep look at her. After Zhang's family saw him off, the two brothers Lian Zhongyong left the private room and left first with interest.

  Unfinished, make up tomorrow morning
