arrogant less

Standing at the door, Chen Xiao looked at the weakened back of the old man. Although his talisman had extended the old man's lifespan, there are some things that cannot be stopped when one gets old.No matter what method is used, the old man will leave him sooner or later.Thinking of this, Chen Ling felt a little sour in his heart.Suddenly, a line of hot tears welled up from his eyes.Chen Xiao couldn't help but said, "Grandpa, why don't you eat yet? You have to eat on time."

"Xiao'er, you're back?" The old man hastily put down the book in his hand, and then said with a smile, "I'm waiting for you. Besides, it's boring for my old man to eat alone, and those little bastards are even more unhappy." Eat with me, every time I ask them to eat with me, they are all silent. So, I don't think it's interesting at all. You still have to eat with your own children so that you don't feel restrained."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to dinner!" Chen Xiao nodded hastily.

The grandfather and grandson were sitting in the restaurant, and a group of guards hurriedly started to get busy. Dishes were brought in from the kitchen, and some seasonings that had been prepared were thrown into the pot and started to stir-fry.The guards not only serve as guards, but also as assistants in life.The work of the kitchen also needs to be handled by the guards.In short, they need to worry about the old man's daily life and security work.

That night, the old man drank two glasses of wine and was full, and the old man talked more.It wasn't until late at night that the old man washed up and went to sleep.Chen Xiao was lying in her room. As a military family, Chen Xiao lived a simple and simple life since she was a child. The decoration in the room was very simple in the capital.However, Chen Xiao never minded.Smelling the warm smell of the sun on the quilt, Chen Xiao also yawned and fell asleep.

The next day, New Year's Eve.On this day, the whole city of Beijing is lively.Chen Xiao followed the guards and said that they went to the street to buy new year's goods, and the truckloads of new year's goods were brought home.Because Yang Yingying's family is coming to the capital this time, the old man raised the expenses for this year's Chinese New Year a lot.The guards bought a lot of precious gifts, which were given to Yang Yingying's family when they left.A pickup truck returned to the Chen Mansion with a load of stuff on it.

"Chen Xiao." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came, Chen Xiao hurriedly turned his head to look over, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance, Zeng Fan.This kid is now a mature man. A man stands in his thirties. At this time, Zeng Fan has already served as the Secretary General of the Beijing Municipal Committee, so he has a bright future.This kid's success was thanks to Chen Xiao's advice to him back then, otherwise, this guy would not have been on the right path.

"Yo, it's you." Chen Xiao jumped off the pickup truck, leaving the work of moving the goods to the guards.Chen Xiao walked towards Zeng Fan, handed Zeng Fan a cigarette, and said with a smile, "What have you been up to lately, kid?"

"What can you be busy with? I was on vacation yesterday." Zeng Fan stroked his meticulous hair with his hand. This kid was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked like a successful person. However, this guy is already the Secretary General of the Beijing Municipal Committee. It is a relatively successful step on the way.Chen Ling patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You kid is doing well now, you look like a human being, and you are indeed promising."

"Go ahead, compared with you, it's not even the slightest difference." Zeng Fan chuckled and said, "Why don't you find a place to sit?"

"Okay." Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.The two found a coffee shop nearby.In this era of cafes everywhere, it is so easy to find a place to chat.Chen Xiao smiled and said, "You kid, you didn't come here to find me, did you?"

"Really." Zeng Fan laughed and said, "I heard Xi Shiqin said you're back, so I made a special trip. The first is to thank you for your guidance. The second is, of course, I have something to ask you for."

"You're already such a big official, and you still beg me for a fuck?" Chen Xiao was taken aback.

"Go, you kid, don't bury me." Zeng Fan's face darkened, and he said, "I'm just a secretary-general, can I be compared with a major general like you?"

"I, a major general, was only appointed to take care of the old man's feelings, and I have no real power." Chen Xiao replied, laughing: "It's you, the Secretary-General of the Beijing Municipal Committee, at least a deputy ministerial cadre, and you At such a young age, you already have such a powerful position. It seems that **** regards you very seriously."

"I'm flattered." Zeng Fan chuckled. Indeed, Zeng Fan is a little proud now. Of course, all of this has a very important relationship with his family's arrangements, and the other is the relationship between him and Chen Xiao.How many people are aiming for this position, and how many people hope to send their children to this position.As long as you take this position, you will have a great chance of promotion in the future.Stay in this position for two or three years, and then transfer to a municipality directly under the central government to serve as a ****, for example, Shanghai, Chongqing... these places.After staying in these places for three to five years, they were directly transferred back to the central government, or simply served as top leaders in various provinces.

How many elites in the capital have an upgrade route like this?These days, those who are capable are working at the grassroots level, and those who are not are working as leading cadres.Chen Xiao took a sip of coffee and said, "Secretary, without a long word, you won't even fart."

"That's true." Zeng Fan also admitted.

"By the way, what's your business with me this time?" Chen Xiao asked hastily.

"You see, I'm almost thirty, and I don't have a wife yet. Are you worried about me?" Zeng Fan blushed suddenly, and then said, "I've fallen in love with the granddaughter of the Situ family, but Mr. Situ always remembers me when I was young. It's a mess of time. I want to come to propose marriage, but I'm afraid of being kicked out by Mr. Situ."

"The granddaughter of the Situ family? Situ Nan?" Chen Xiao was taken aback.

"That's right." Zeng Fan nodded hastily, and said, "That little girl who used to follow me when I was a child and asked me to buy her sweets."

"Beast, Situ Nan is only 23 this year, right? You're already 29." Chen Ling looked at Zeng Fan in astonishment.

"What does that matter?" Zeng Fan shook his head hastily, and said, "I've already established a relationship with Xiao Nan. But now, I just want to pass her grandfather's test. Alas, Mr. Situ refuses desperately, thinking that I am too carefree. It's too slutty. But, you also know that was only when I was young, now I'm very motivated, but he doesn't listen, every time I go to his house, I'm kicked out, and once I was almost driven away by him splashing water."

Puchi...

Chen Xiao couldn't stop laughing. Mr. Situ was famous for his fiery temper, and he could compete with him. Unexpectedly, his temper has improved now, but Mr. Situ's temper is still so fiery.Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Who told you to do some romantic things in the past, soaking in heaven and earth all day long, who in the aristocratic circle of the capital doesn't know about your past affairs? Who would dare to marry their daughter to you? Wouldn't that be the same as pushing your own daughter into the fire pit?"

"Go, that's all in the past." Zeng Fan glared at Chen Xiao, and then said: "Now I'm talking about business, I really want to marry Situ Nan, you boy, don't mess with me Ok?"

"Okay, so what are you going to do, kid?" Chen Xiao asked suspiciously.

"After going to Zhongnanhai tomorrow, can you accompany me to Situ's house?" Zeng Fan looked at Chen Xiao with a smile, and said, "How is it?"

"Then what good am I?" Chen Xiao laughed.

"Don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable after the matter is completed." Zeng Fan said immediately: "Besides, do we brothers still need to negotiate terms? I will work hard in the future, and if you need my help, just ask, I promise to help you unconditionally. Isn't that okay?"

"Haha, that's enough." Chen Xiao patted Zeng Fan's shoulder, and said, "I'll trouble you to cover it from now on."

"Go, you kid will make fun of me." Zeng Fan snorted disdainfully: "Who doesn't know that you kid is doing well now, and your business is getting bigger and bigger. If your kid comes back** ****, I promise to make a fuss, with your old man and **** supporting you, alas, who else can be your opponent? It's a pity that your kid is not interested in officialdom."

"Don't talk about this..." Chen Xiao waved his hands.

Chen Xiao really didn't have much interest in officialdom, and Chen Xiao's character was not a sleazy person either. What kind of character does a **** person need? The most undesirable thing for a **** person is personality.A person with his own personality cannot adapt to officialdom.Chen Xiao's personality is too distinct.Moreover, the best people require smooth personality, not easy to get angry, and people who can tolerate scolding.

As far as Chen Xiao's personality is concerned, let alone tactful, he is a square iron bump, and most people can't move him.Moreover, Chen Ling's temperament has completely inherited the old man's genes, and he is irritable.The last point, asking Chen Xiao to tolerate other people's scolding, it is simply as difficult as climbing the sky.Even if there are two giants supporting Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao will not be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom for a long time. Once these two giants leave, Chen Xiao will be left alone, and it is impossible for anyone to obey Chen Xiao. up.Therefore, instead of causing thousands of people to fall into trouble in the future, it would be better not to commit suicide in the first place.

Chen Xiao and Zeng Fan chatted in the coffee shop all afternoon, and it was almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner, so Chen Xiao bid farewell to Zeng Fan in a hurry.At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was about to enter the time for the New Year's Eve dinner. When Chen Xiao hurried home, he saw the guards were busy pasting couplets.There are two huge red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Chen Mansion. The lanterns are covered with light bulbs, and they exude joy under the envelope of the red lanterns.

"Master, are you back?" Guard Xiaoliu looked at Chen Xiao excitedly, and said, "The old commander is waiting for you to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. This year's New Year's Eve dinner, the old man made a lot of dumplings himself, and all It is your favorite crystal shrimp dumpling, young master."

"Really?" Chen Ling was a little surprised. It's rare for the old man to cook, which can be said to be rare once in a century.Unexpectedly, the old man would take the initiative to cook today, which really surprised Chen Xiao.Is it because Yang Yingying's family is coming to visit, so the old man cooks first to try his skills?It is estimated that there is nothing else other than this happy event.The old man knew that people from the Yang family were coming to talk about marriage, so he was very excited.
