life in the sky

"Uncle Mu, I haven't done enough. In fact, I followed Guoxing's path in this matter. I just made some necessary supplementary developments based on the actual situation in Guangdong."

Mr. Mu nodded: "Your supplement and development are very good. This is a manifestation of progress. The one that Guoxing made in Anjiang is only a prototype after all, and it needs to be continuously improved. It has been successful, and I estimate that the central government will gradually promote it nationwide in the next step, and it may be fixed in the form of documents to form a system. From this point of view, both you and Guoxing are credited No way."

Elder Mu looked at Mu Guoxing and said, "Since Guoxing became the secretary of the Guangnan Provincial Party Committee, he has done a good job. The focus of the Provincial Party Committee's work has been shifted to economic construction in time. This is a very correct decision. The situation is constantly changing, and it is necessary to constantly adjust the content of the work. Guoxing can do this, and it really understands the true meaning of following the trend."

"Thank you grandpa for your praise. I will continue to work hard in the future."

Mr. Mu smiled with satisfaction: "I am already 90 years old this year. I ask myself that I have never done anything to be sorry for the party and the people in my life. If I let myself measure it, it should be a [-]% difference. You guys Both generations have grown up and it's time for me to rest."

The old man's words were full of vicissitudes, and Mu Guoxing's heart moved. It seems that the old man can finally feel relieved today, and maybe from now on he will no longer be involved in intricate political struggles.And the main reason is because the second and third generations of the Mu family that he personally cultivated have really grown up.As the saying goes, the old man doesn't care about things beyond the third generation, maybe this is the true portrayal of the old man's heart.

The old man continued to say: "After tomorrow, you can go and talk with Daguan. The work in Ningbei has been doing well in the past few years. At this party congress, Daguan should also be making progress. gone."

Mu Guoxing suddenly understood that this was the purpose of the old man's vigorously cleaning up Cheng Zhenli some time ago.Mu Guoxing had also heard from his father that the old man was working to get Huang Daguan into the Politburo, but the resistance he encountered was not small.Presumably through this incident, the old man has already obtained the promise of the old Wu family and the old Cheng family. If he can say this at this time, it proves that Huang Daguan's entry into the Politburo at the two sessions is already unstoppable that's it.

With the fate of a small department-level cadre in exchange for a position as a member of the Politburo, it cannot but be said that the three old fellows operate ingeniously, and all of this is so aboveboard that no one can find any faults.When the military dealt with Cheng Zhenli, Mr. Zhong never made any statement from the beginning to the end. Even if someone suspected Mr. Zhong, it was groundless and could not be put on the table.

When the case was handed over to Guangnan Province, Mu Guoxing instructed the Public Security Bureau to find out the facts in a short period of time, and instructed the public security department to acquit Cheng Zhenli, which won another point for the old Mu family. .Even if the old Cheng family and the old Wu family wanted to blame something, at most they could only blame it on Mr. Zhong, not on the old Mu's family.

It was only natural for the old Mu family to exchange this matter with the old Cheng family.From this matter, it can be explained that the high-level struggle attaches great importance to grasping the timing.Mu Guoxing cooperated with the old man quite tacitly in this battle. If the time is early or late, the benefits will not be maximized.Perhaps the old man saw this and said that two generations of you have grown up.

Although Elder Mu has always asked to keep a low profile, how could such a prominent political family like theirs keep a low profile.Not only the first and second chiefs made special trips to send congratulatory gifts, but even old political elders of Mr. Mu's generation who were able to walk made a special trip to come to congratulate.

Mu Guoxing was busy enough this afternoon when he came back, and he accompanied his grandfather to receive these famous figures in the country's political arena.These people seem to have negotiated, according to the level of status, one left, and the second will arrive soon.The person who came never took more than 10 minutes before and after, said a few polite words of congratulations, left a gift and then left.When the new head of No. [-] came to visit, Mu Guoxing realized that all the congratulatory guests had finally come.

As for the old man's old subordinates and his father's uncle's colleagues, they were there to receive them. Judging from the fact that he didn't see them this afternoon, Mu Guoxing could imagine how busy they were.

Mu Guoxing also knew that it was his father and uncle who left him this rare opportunity, in order to let Mu Guoxing show his face in front of these big shots, so as to announce to those people that the Mu family's The third generation has already made its debut.These people are the best of the best, and they will figure out a lot of meanings for a little thing. Seeing that Mu Guoxing is the only one in the Mu family who is accompanying the old man to receive guests, they will also understand the meaning of this.

Now the second generation of the old Mu family has a member of the Standing Committee of politicians, a vice premier of the State Council, a member of the Politburo, and the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. That is Mu Congwu, who is the commander of the Jiangnan Military Region. The Military Commission is planning to award him the rank of general.The three of them, who are well-known in the political arena, naturally don't need the care of these big bosses, and what they need to care for can only be Mu Guoxing, the third generation member of the Mu family.

The meeting room that Elder Mu rarely used was also converted into a banquet hall today, and Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting who were invited to Mu's house to attend the old man's birthday party were also arranged here.

When it comes to family banquets, they are not the same. In addition to the immediate and collateral relatives of the Mu family, there are also the staff around Mr. Mu.From this point of view, it can be seen that Mr. Mu treats the staff around him very amiably, at least he treats them as his own family.It is precisely because of this that the secretaries used by Mr. Mu, Huang Daguan, Yu Chengcheng and others, although they are all princes now, are still respectful and loyal in front of Mr. Mu. Interests.

Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting were extremely excited and nervous. Although they are both members of Mu Guoxing's family, the status of this family is really too high. Except for Mu Guoxing and Mu Congwen, the others are just We met on TV.The two of them are also very clear that the reason why Mr. Mu didn't invite other people, but only agreed to invite these two outsiders to participate, is to tell everyone that everything that Mr. Mu's family will do in the future must revolve around the Mu country. Hing to proceed.This means that the old Mu family must gather the strength of the entire family to create conditions for Mu Guoxing's official career.

According to the rules of the old Mu's family, except for the last generation who saluted me on the old man's birthday, other people were exempted.It turns out that Mu Guoxing is the last generation. Every time the old man celebrates his birthday, the younger sisters led by him will salute the old man. Now there is the fourth generation. Naturally, this task is handed over to Qier and Liner brothers and sisters. up.

Several well-dressed members of the fourth generation, wearing the same red Tang suits, knelt down on the cushions to salute their great-grandfather and great-grandmother according to the ancient customs of our country.The old Mu and his wife looked at everything in front of them, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. As soon as the salute was over, the old lady took the children into her arms, shouting dearly, enjoying the family happiness.

The scene in front of me was faithfully recorded by the camera in the hands of the staff. Of course, this will never be disclosed.This is the chief's top secret, and anyone who spreads it will make a big mistake.

VIP 840 Chapter [-] State Banquet Standards

In the lively atmosphere, Elder Mu announced the opening of the meeting, and the staff waiting at the side heard the old man's instructions immediately.After a while, several waiters in red cheongsams came in and stood beside the table they wanted to serve in a well-trained manner.

In order to prepare for this banquet, Chief No. [-] personally instructed the General Office of the Central Committee that Mr. Mu's birthday family banquet should be held according to the standard of a state banquet.The actual situation was like this, and it was precisely because Elder Mu did not make any publicity that he did so. If Elder Mu wanted to hold a banquet for guests in the great hall, the central government would approve it.

In the eyes of ordinary people, state banquets are very mysterious, but in fact there is nothing special about them. State banquets are usually light in summer and meat in winter.No matter what kind of dishes or snacks are made, the best parts and varieties will be selected. Not only must the selection be extensive, but also the origin, season, texture and size of the raw materials must be strictly screened.

In terms of origin, bird’s nests should be made of palace swallows from Thailand, shark’s fins should be first-class fins from the South China Sea, abalone from the Bohai Sea, prawns and fish from Hexi, sheep from Lijiakou, lobsters from coastal provinces, and shad from Shunhai. , Hexi's golden jujube and so on.

In terms of seasons, shad is caught around the Dragon Boat Festival, and mandarin fish is caught when peach blossoms are in full bloom.But today's banquet, everything is handled strictly according to this standard. The rule of state banquets is that cold dishes are set before seating, and each person has four or five kinds of cold dishes, including duck feet, sauced beef, vegetarian ham and so on.After the host announces the opening of the table, hot dishes are served, usually soup first, followed by meat dishes and vegetarian dishes.The first course is often the most expensive.

There are usually four hot dishes, all of which are rolled directly from the kitchen with a trolley.State banquets do not serve four dishes at the same time, but after the guests have finished eating one dish, the waiter will replace it in time.After the main course is served, dessert and fruit are served.Fruits vary according to the season, such as kiwi, grapes, watermelon, etc., and generally there is no fixed one.

The first dish was brought up by a special food passer. It was the most famous state banquet lion head. This is the favorite dish of the No. Cut into small pieces and made with high-quality broth, the shape is plump, like the head of a lion.Hence the name lion head.

Although this dish is not very expensive, it is also what the old man meant, and it is mainly a commemorative meaning.Mr. Mu respects and misses the great founding men of that generation very much.

Although Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting have also eaten this dish, it tastes different in their mouths now.This is not only due to the exquisite materials used for the state banquet, but also due to the mood at the moment.Not to mention that you can eat the famous dishes of the state banquet here, even if it is a home-cooked meal, they taste like heavenly delicacy.At this time, it doesn't matter what to eat, what is rare is this honor.

The Mu family is so powerful, and there are countless officials and dignitaries in the family. None of these people were able to participate in today's family banquet, but they were the only two invited. How many people got it.

The second dish is another famous dish at the state banquet. It is famous in ancient and modern times as the Buddha jumps over the wall. This dish selects eight kinds of top-quality raw materials such as abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, fish maw, scallops, oyster mushrooms, pigeon eggs, skirts, etc., and is served with the state banquet. Not to mention how precious these raw materials are, even the thick soup takes as long as three days and three nights to make.

This dish was served in a blue and white double-eared bowl. As soon as the waiter opened the lid, the room was full of fragrance, and people couldn't help but twitch their index fingers.

The third dish is braised three treasure duck in a pot. This dish selects high-quality stuffed duck, stews with chestnuts, jujubes, and lotus seeds, and then puts it into a special special purple clay pot and steams it.Has very good health care effect.

The next dish is roasted skirt with garlic seeds, which is one of the eight treasures. This dish is made from high-quality skirt and top-quality soup for state banquets, which has the effect of nourishing skin, nourishing blood and nourishing blood.It is the best of the best in the state banquet cuisine.

After the four main dishes were served, Qier and Liner led their younger brothers and sisters, and began to toast their great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandparents and uncles according to the rules set beforehand. The event in the banquet hall was full of joy and laughter, and there was a continuous stream of laughter.

After years of training, the three boys of the fourth generation of the Mu family have grown very strong, obviously taller than children of the same age.Lin'er and Mu Congwu seemed very close. After toasting, they didn't leave immediately, but asked Mu Congwu, "Second Uncle, do you have any big warships?"

Mu Congwu asked puzzledly: "Yes, I have not only large warships but also many aircraft and tanks there."

"Uncle, when I grow up, can I go to your place to drive a big warship?"

Qi'er's words elicited a burst of laughter from everyone, and Mr. Mu said, "This kid has been fond of the sea since he was a child. It is quite meaningful for Lao Zhong to name him Zhenhai."

Mu Guoxing thought to himself, when I opened my eyes, I saw that this child would grow up to be an admiral. Qi'er has liked the sea and warships since he was a child, it seems to be destined by heaven.

After the elders finished their toast, a few little fellows toasted Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting again. Seeing a group of pink princes and princesses, Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting's feelings were beyond description, and their faces were flushed. It is really the so-called wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated.

When the banquet was coming to an end, Li Qingshan quietly tugged on Mu Guoxing's lapel and asked, "Secretary Mu, how about we two want to toast the heads?"

Mu Guoxing smiled: "This is at home, so don't be so particular. If you want to toast, go to toast."

After hearing Mu Guoxing's words, Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting stood up boldly at the same time, and walked up to Elder Mu: "Chief, we wish you a long life like Nanshan and the East China Sea! Today we two have the honor to serve you Congratulations on your birthday, it is really a blessing for three lives."

Mr. Mu smiled and said: "Xiao Li, you are my bodyguard, and I have never regarded you as an outsider. I have heard from Guoxing a long time ago that you and Xiao Sun have performed well. It's up to you."

Sun Shuting said with trembling lips: "Qingshan and I will never disappoint the chief's expectations, we must work hard!"

The old man picked up the wine glass and drank it down, don't underestimate this action, it made Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting feel even more honored.Such a respectable old man can drink up the wine toasted by others. Except for the two of them, it is difficult for others to get this honor.

When Mu Congjun was toasting him with Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan, he only said one thing, work hard, and drank it all in one gulp.

It was the first time for Mu Congwu to meet these two old subordinates of Mu Guoxing. Seeing the old subordinates of Guoxing coming to toast, he drank it without hesitation and said with a smile: "Although I have never met you, But I have also heard Guoxing tell you about you many times, and seeing you today really deserves your reputation, you can be said to be a dragon and a phoenix among people, and you must have a bright future." With regard to his immediate boss Mu Congwen, Sun Shuting became a little nervous at this moment, seeing When Mu Guoxing gave him an encouraging look, Sun Shuting mustered up the courage to raise his glass and said, "Secretary Mu, I would like to offer you a glass of wine with flowers and Buddha, and please criticize and advise me in the future."

Mu Congwen nodded: "Today is a family banquet, so don't pay too much attention to it. You and Guoxing are good friends, comrades, and good subordinates of mine. If there are problems at work, I should still criticize. I’m not hesitant to praise the achievements.”

The cutscenes that should be gone have been finished, Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan looked at each other and stood up at the same time, saying goodbye to the Mu family.Originally, this was a family banquet, and it was a great honor to be able to invite myself to sit down. I definitely can't stay here without being ignorant. After all, I should leave time for a real family reunion for my family. .

The old man didn't ask to stay either, and said to Mu Guoxing, "Go see them off. They are welcome to come to our house as guests in the future."

When they parted, Sun Shuting and Li Qingshan held Mu Guoxing's hand tightly, and said a sentence almost at the same time: "Secretary Mu, we are so happy today, we will never forget this day in our whole life."

Returning to the banquet hall, Mu Guoxing saw the three brothers Qi'er, Lin'er and Zhonghua performing the martial arts they had practiced in front of the elders. Voice.

VIP 840 [-] five chapters military support

The Challenger 850 special plane took off from the military airport on the outskirts of Beijing. The seats on the plane were fully occupied. Except for Mr. Zhong and Mu Guoxing, there were only the guards beside Mr. Zhong.

Mr. Mu's 90th birthday finally came to an end after three days of busy work. This time, Mu Guoxing followed Mr. Zhong to inspect the ship research institute built by Ssangyong Group.
