life in the sky

In addition to holding a family banquet on the day of Mr. Mu's birthday, the three brothers of the Mu family and Mu Guoxing also hosted banquets for their relatives and friends in the following two days.

As for who the elders were entertaining, Mu Guoxing naturally wouldn't inquire about it. For people like them, everyone has their own social circle, and people in their respective circles usually don't inquire about each other.But one thing is for sure, it is these people who support the powerful political family of the Mu family. With their support, the power of the Mu family can grow stronger and stronger, forming a political power that no one dares to underestimate in the domestic political arena. power.

Mu Guoxing returned to his parents' house last night, and heard from his mother that almost all of his father's banquets this time were some big officials and heavyweight leaders of ministries and commissions.And almost all of these people are old subordinates of Grandpa Mu Guoxing or former staff members around him.From this aspect, it can be explained that Elder Mu has admitted that Mu Congjun is the second generation head of the Mu family.Otherwise, Mr. Mu would never hand over all his subordinates to Mu Congjun.

As for Mu Guoxing's second uncle, Mu Congwu, he also used this opportunity to have extensive contact with Mr. Zhong's old subordinates in the military, thereby expanding the influence of the old Mu's family in the military.Created a very good condition for him to be promoted to general in the next step.

The people Mu Congwen associates with are naturally not ordinary people. Although they are not as high-ranking as the people Mu Congjun associates with, any one they draw will stomp their feet on their own territory, and the earth will tremble three times. Shaking big shot.

Although the three brothers of the Mu family are now in their own relationships, their purpose is the same, which is to pave the way for the career development of Mu Guoxing, the only third generation member of the old Mu family. The big tree of home will never fall down.

Compared with these three fathers, the status of the people Mu Guoxing made friends with is relatively low. Even so, he also entertained several of his old subordinates at the Red Rose Restaurant, not only Sun Shuting, Li Qingshan, Li Jun and others in Beijing. Zeng Shuailin attended this gathering, as well as Dou Yangyi, Liu Jiazhong, Wu Yipei, and Xiao Kunlin from Shunhai, Liu Xiangdong from Guangnan, and Sun Tingguo, the current deputy mayor of Jinshan City.

Although Dou Yangyi and the others did not attend the old man's official birthday, at this gathering, Mu Guoxing also presented them with a letter written by the old man.

All the people who participated in this party knew that their current level was not qualified to celebrate the old man's birthday, but it was also a great honor to get a picture written by the old man himself.Now Mr. Mu can be said to be the only remaining political elder of their generation, and has a strong influence in the country's political arena so far. It can be said to be very rare to be favored by this old man.

In addition, these people had another idea. They also knew that through this gathering, his status in the Mu family was officially confirmed. Mu Guoxing, the red prince, had accepted them on behalf of the old Mu family.Now that the power of the old Mu family is in full swing, many people want to join them but can't find a way out. Now that they can get the support of the old Mu family, their careers in the future are not bright.

Although Mu Guoxing's current status is still relatively low, these people have no doubt that with Mu Guoxing's ability and the support of the entire family of the old Mu family, reaching the top is only a matter of a day or a day.Now relying on Mu Guoxing, it means that they have also opened up a path to a high position.

Elder Zhong looked at Mu Guoxing who had been silent all the time with a smile, knocked on the table in front of him and said, "Guoxing, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm sorry grandpa, I lost my composure, I was thinking about my grandpa's [-]th birthday this time."

Mr. Zhong nodded: "Yes, we should think about it carefully. Our generation is getting old, and the future depends on you. Of course, we will not let it go during this period of time. any chance."

Mu Guoxing understood what Mr. Zhong said. Over the past ten years, the Mu family and the Zhong family have formed an unbreakable united front. The two old people are using every opportunity to create conditions for Mu Guoxing's career development.Sometimes Mu Guoxing also thinks, if he relies on his own efforts, without the support of these old people, can he still reach his current position?

Mu Guoxing shook his head, he thought it was impossible.Although relying on personal struggle has made a lot of achievements in his official career, but if he relied on his own ability alone, he would be a department-level cadre at best.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Mu Guoxing's starting point is much higher than the average person.As soon as I graduated from university, I came to the Economic Research Institute of the State Council as a full-time student. After one and a half years, I became the director.He went to Baohe County to serve as the secretary of the county party committee for a year and a half, and then became a member of the standing committee of the prefectural party committee at the deputy department level.Entered the party school to study for half a year, and went to Jinshan City to serve as the mayor for two years.After working in the central inspection team for two years, he went to Anjiang to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee at the deputy ministerial level, accomplishing a goal that no one else could achieve in a lifetime.

What was even more unexpected was that after Mu Guoxing had served as the governor of Guangnan for more than half a year, he was appointed by the central government as the secretary of the provincial party committee, and was added as a member of the central committee at the last plenary session of the central committee.Judging from Mu Guoxing's official career experience, although there are reasons for his own hard work, it is also inseparable from the support and help of the family. It can be said that the support and help of the family are two aspects of Mu Guoxing's personal hard work. It is indispensable.

"Wen Yiqiang came to my house a few days ago and talked about your second uncle. If there are no accidents, he will sign the title order on the [-]st in a few days."

Elder Zhong mentioned Wen Yiqiang, but Mu Guoxing knew that this new vice chairman of the Central Military Commission was trained and promoted by Elder Zhong himself.Before Mr. Zhong stepped down, Wen Yiqiang was the chief of staff of the Military Commission, ranking last among the vice-chairmen of the Central Military Commission.

Before Mr. Zhong stepped down, he suggested to Chief No. [-] that Wen Yiqiang take over his shift.No. [-] is also very aware of Mr. Zhong's influence in the army for so many years. In order to maintain the continuity of work, to be precise, to stabilize the army, the head of No. [-] supported Mr. Zhong's suggestion and passed the resolution on the Standing Committee. Wen Yiqiang's appointment.

Now Wen Yiqiang presides over the daily work of the Military Commission. It can also be said that his position in the Military Commission is second only to the No. [-] chief, and he is a well-known faction with real power.It is precisely for this reason that Zhong Lao's influence in the military has not weakened after he retired, but has been strengthened.

The fact is exactly like this. Before retiring, you have to take into account the influence of all aspects. Once you resign, you will have fewer worries. You can use your successor to do things that you have always wanted to do but were unable to do.

Judging from Mu Congwu's qualifications, he should be promoted from lieutenant general to general now. However, the rank of commander of a large military region is generally lieutenant general. If he is awarded general at this time, it means that Mu Congwu Wu will soon be transferred to the Military Commission to take up a rather important position.I dare not say it when I am too old, but the position of deputy chief of staff should not be a problem.

Before Mu Guoxing and Zhong Ling got married, what the Mu family lacked most was the support of the military. In the military, only Mu Congwu was fighting alone.Since getting the support of Mr. Zhong, Mu Congwu's position has also been promoted very quickly. First, he was promoted from a commander of a field army to a deputy commander in charge of military training in the Jiangnan Military Region, and then he was promoted to commander in less than two years. At the same time, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.Now he is about to be promoted to a general, and he will enter the Central Military Commission in the future, which means that the old Mu family has already gained a very large force in the military, which will create an extremely favorable situation for Mu Guoxing to reach the top in the future. Conditions, with the support of the military, everything will be much easier to handle.

VIP 840 [-] six chapters special plane travel

The plane that had been flying smoothly suddenly experienced a violent turbulence. The guards jumped up as if they were facing an enemy, and stared nervously out of the window. Two guards each held an umbrella bag and walked towards Mr. Zhong and Mu Guoxing. come.

Mr. Zhong waved his hand: "Why are you so nervous, the car bumps a few times when it encounters uneven places on the road, not to mention it's in the air."

Although Mr. Zhong was extremely calm, the two guards still did not dare to slack off. They stood still and refused to leave. They were ready to wear umbrellas for Mr. Zhong and Mu Guoxing at any time.

In a short time, the plane returned to normal, and a stewardess walked over quickly: "Report to the chief, the plane encountered a strong airflow just now, and it has returned to normal now."

Mr. Zhong smiled: "It's nothing, tell the captain to fly boldly, I trust you."

The stewardess smiled, and replaced Zhong Lao and Mu Guoxing with a cup of hot tea. Zhong Lao picked it up and took a sip and said slowly: "This kind of situation was very normal in the past. When I went to inspect the army back then, I always took the old-fashioned military aircraft. Not to mention the noise, it was also very unsafe. How could it be as comfortable as the current aircraft. One of my old buddies, when he was inspecting the army, the plane unfortunately crashed sacrificed."

What Mr. Zhong said, Mu Guoxing also heard from his grandfather. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country was very poor, and there was almost no heavy industry. Not to mention the manufacture of airplanes, even matches and nails had to be imported from abroad.Although our country has been vigorously developing the aviation industry in the past few decades, due to its weak foundation and low starting point, there is still a big gap with foreign countries.Take the current Challenger 850 as an example. Our country has not yet fully mastered some of its key technologies.

This time, Ssangyong Group imported two planes of the same type from abroad. Although they were both imported in the name of business jets, they also put forward many new requirements to the manufacturer according to the requirements of the Institute of Electronics. advanced electronics.Now one of them has been placed in a military base for research by our Institute of Electronics and Aerodynamics.

Although Western countries have always imposed an arms embargo on our country, their civilian product technology is also very advanced. In addition to applying advanced technology to the military, many Western aircraft manufacturers also use a lot of advanced technology. For civilian use, the purpose is to increase the competitiveness of their products.From this perspective, the capitalists in Western countries are sometimes very open-minded.

After more than an hour of flight time, the plane landed steadily at a military airport in Liaodong Province. Looking out through the porthole, Mu Guoxing was shocked. The wide airport runway was under martial law. .Not far from the plane, several black limousines were parked, and several officers with the rank of major general on their shoulders were walking towards this side quickly.

Mu Guoxing knew that these people were here to greet Mr. Zhong. Although Mr. Zhong had stepped down, his original rank was still there, and he also had to enjoy special security guards when he traveled.This is still in the army. If an official of his age travels in the local area, I don't know how much commotion will be caused.In order to please the head of the central government, some sycophants do not know how many tricks they will come up with.

Just as Mu Guoxing wanted to help Mr. Zhong, he was stopped by Mr. Zhong with a wave of his hand: "You don't need to be courteous here, I'm not that old yet."

As soon as Zhong Lao and Mu Guoxing's feet hit the ground, several major generals stood at attention and saluted. Zhong Lao took a look at them and reprimanded them: "Didn't I tell you all, don't make such a big show?" , why don’t you listen?”

One of the leading officers said with a smile: "The old chief came to inspect, and the necessary security work should be done. We have not exceeded the regulations and mobilized the masses."

Elder Zhong's face turned pale: "Let me introduce you, this is Mu Guoxing."

After finishing speaking, Elder Zhong pointed to those officers and said to Mu Guoxing: "These are Commander Wu Qiang of the Liaodong Military Region, Political Commissar Dong Jingsheng, Commander of the 102nd Army Huang Hansheng, and Political Commissar Ma Biao."

As soon as Mr. Zhong mentioned Mu Guoxing's name, these officers all understood. How many senior officers of their rank did not know about Mr. Zhong's granddaughter and son-in-law?If they don't know, there is another reason besides pretending to be confused, and they are downright fools.The question is, can such a senior officer be a fool?

At this time, Wu Qiang said with a smile on his face: "Old chief, I didn't expect you to remember our names."

"Hmph, you bastards, I can recognize them even if you peel them off."

Several dignified major generals were scolded, but they seemed extraordinarily happy. A big Mercedes-Benz with a military plate drove up, and Mr. Zhong and Mu Guoxing got into it.At this time, Wu Qiang also sat in the front co-pilot's seat, turned around and said to Mr. Zhong with a smile: "Old chief, this time I have passed the addiction of being your security guard once again."

Before Mr. Zhong could say anything, he saw several cars with local license plates speeding towards him.Wu Qiang said: "Old chief, it's the car of the Liaodong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, do you want to meet them?"

Mr. Zhong's face darkened: "I said what did you do? Someone from the army just picks it up, but why did you startle the comrades in the local area? I think the more you become an official, the more confused you become. See you to see."

Wu Qiang glanced at Mu Guoxing as if asking for help, meaning that the old man is no longer happy, and now he can only ask you to help him persuade him.

Mu Guoxing nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, since the local comrades have already come, let's meet them. Didn't you always teach me to pay attention to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and to have a good relationship with comrades?" Are you united?"

Mr. Zhong glanced at Mu Guoxing, sighed and said, "In this case, I will see them. But I can tell you Wu Qiang, I have never seen you again in the past few days in Liaodong. Anyone."

Mr. Zhong and Mu Guoxing had no choice but to get out of the car again. Yu Zesheng, secretary of the Liaodong Provincial Party Committee, and Lu Honglin, the governor of Liaodong Province, repeatedly apologized when they saw Mr. Zhong: "Old chief, I'm sorry, we were late to welcome you."

Although Mr. Zhong was very angry with Wu Qiang in the car just now, when he saw Yu Zesheng and Lu Honglin, he still made an amiable look: "Hehe, I can't blame you, I came to Liaodong this time just because If you change your personal identity casually, don't bother you."

Yu Zesheng, Lu Honglin, and Mu Guoxing are no strangers to each other. The three of them met each other at the last plenary meeting of the Central Committee. There are only dozens of provincial party committee secretaries and governors across the country. Not a big joke.

Just now when Yu Zesheng and Lu Honglin were shaking hands with Mr. Zhong, they were also taken aback when they saw Mu Guoxing. At first, they hadn’t imagined why the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Guangnan would accompany the former Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission to Liaodong for inspection. , but after thinking about it, I understood that since Mr. Zhong traveled in his private capacity, it was reasonable for Mu Guoxing to accompany him as his granddaughter and son-in-law.

Compared with the capital city, the weather in Liaodong is still very cold. After being delayed at the airport, I felt the warmth in the car when I sat in the car again. I saw that Mr. Zhong did not show any discomfort at all. Guoxing also felt relieved.

"Tell the local comrades, please go back first. Let's go to the Ship Research Institute to take a look."

Mr. Zhong's convoy did not enter the city either. After leaving the airport, he walked west along a highway for about half an hour, and then went north along an asphalt road. In the distance, he saw a silver-white Buildings, glistening in the sun.

"See, that's our ship research institute. It's the first time you, the real big boss, have seen your company."

Elder Zhong smiled complacently when he said this, and Mu Guoxing replied, "Grandpa, you are the one who handles these things, so why is it necessary for me to follow along?"
