Game within game: chess player

When He Zijie and Li Desheng listened to Feng Jie's introduction to Ye Fang's background, they were silent for a long time. They did not expect that there was such a huge energy hidden around the young man.

Although Li Desheng has always been calm and determined, he rarely shows anxiety when facing the direction of his future political career. There is no such thing as taking a step back to become an official or a politician. Choosing this single-plank bridge is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat, especially at Li Desheng's age.

Taking a step further, you can point your sword at the capital. With the protection of the He family, Li Desheng will definitely have a smooth journey. But if he stays in place, he will give up the opportunity to advance. At most, he will have to go to the CPPCC to retire. This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Desheng, and he will never be willing to end his political career like this.

So Li Desheng pondered for a long time, looked up with a complicated expression and asked Xue Lan, "Mom, is there still a chance to save it?"

Xue Lan snorted coldly and said angrily, "Then ask your wife!"

Li Desheng instantly turned to He Zijie and said, "Xiaojie, please speak."

"This...Mom...then what should I do? I've said it all. The most important thing is to mobilize the hospital's resources, which will definitely attract attention. How will I explain it then?" He Zijie said helplessly.

"Explain?!" Xue Lan glared and said domineeringly, "Who do you, the deputy dean, need to explain to? Even the new dean, you don't need to explain anything to him..." At this time, Xue Lan She suddenly stopped talking, seemed to have thought of something, and asked directly, "Xiaojie, have you ever thought about taking over as the dean?"

"Dean?!" He Zijie waved his hand quickly and replied, "Although I am the vice dean, I am indeed the lowest ranked vice dean. There are several senior masters in front of me. In terms of qualifications and background, it is not my turn. .”

"If Dean Wang retires and hands over the entire X project to you, and then lets Ye Fang look for some cutting-edge scientific research projects in Jiuding Group to hand over to you, do you think you have the qualifications to compete?" Xue Lan was scheming. said.

"Of course I have it." He Zijie is in a military research institute. In addition to his own knowledge and abilities, the most important thing is the number of cutting-edge projects and the results achieved. Only one or two can break through the international blockade. , then He Zijie can be directly promoted to the position of China's top military scientific research expert.

"Xiaojie, do you know what your biggest capital is?" Xue Lan said seriously.

"Family connections? Theoretical abilities?..."

Xue Lan shook her head after hearing He Zijie's description, stretched out her finger and said, "You are young! You are only in your early fifties, and you will have at least 20 years of gold in the future."

Scientific research age, but looking at those old deans, how many more years can they have? Ten years is too much to say. If I were an upper-level leader making decisions, I would definitely choose scientific researchers like you to take charge of national key projects. Only in this way can I maintain the continuity of the project. Are you right? "

"Mom, listening to your analysis, it seems that this is really the case. The old ones are still hotter!" He Zijie gave a thumbs up to his mother Xue Lan and said sincerely.

"Don't rush to compliment me. Even though this is what it is, if you want to go further, you must have qualifications, connections, and projects. Even the He family can't say anything about this matter. You have to fight for the project issues yourself. !" Xue Lan prompted.

"Then how should I find projects? Nowadays, good projects are all among the old guys in front. It's not easy to find good projects!" He Zijie's main major is aerospace engineering. As a woman, she can stand out in this major. Entering a military research institute under tight siege proves He Zijie's outstanding academic ability.

However, it is not that the country does not want to invest in aerospace. It is just that cutting-edge technologies are controlled by foreign countries, especially the United States, which has launched a technological blockade against China in all fields. It is impossible to break out of the siege in aerospace at this stage. Not realistic. Now He Zijie does not dare to expect to make a breakthrough in this major. As long as he can have a good scientific research project involving mechanical automation and cutting-edge manufacturing in this industry, he will be able to compete for the position of director of the Military Academy. It's a great help.

Xue Lan tapped He Zijie and Li Desheng respectively with his hand, and then said seriously, "You two are in the same situation, and the solutions are basically the same. Think about it carefully."

Feng Jie saw that He Zijie and Li Desheng didn't seem to understand what Xue Lan meant, so she said directly, "You two want to help Ye Fang handle his affairs, and your affairs will probably be fine."

"Does he really have so much energy? I have to reach heaven to do my things. Can he really do it?" He Zijie really didn't believe that Ye Fang, a young man who was only a few years older than his own girl, had such a background that he could reach heaven. She knew very well that if she could be mobilized, it must be a senior leading cadre at the Military Commission level.

"Remove the word "?" at the end." Xue Lan said impatiently to Feng Jie, "I'm hungry, let's eat. I've already told you two how to solve the problem. You are both in your 50s, Desheng I have been in the officialdom for so many years, so you don’t need me, an old lady who is about to die, to teach you many things. Whether to advance or retreat, how to choose, how to choose between righteousness and trivial matters, you can decide for yourself. Take this step, the big tree of the He family The tree is truly stable."

Just as Xue Lan was about to leave, she turned around and saw the sapphire necklace on the table, and said to Feng Jie, "Put the necklace away and eat!"

Feng Jie pushed Xue Lan out of the study, leaving only He Zijie and Li Desheng.

Li Desheng sat on the sofa with a solemn expression and frowned. He Zijie beside him said, "Old Li, what should we do now?"

"Xiaojie, I want to ask you about the blueprint design. If the blueprint design does not involve the leakage of national weapons and equipment secrets, is it a violation to secretly publish a design blueprint without signature and basic information?" Li Desheng asked.

"That's not true. In fact, many people in the institute will secretly take over the design work of some private garden decoration drawings. Whether it is military or civilian use, these design things are all the same. As long as there is no leakage of secrets, usually no one will pursue it." He Zijie truthfully said.

"That's fine." Li Desheng said decisively, "You can contact the relevant personnel in this area privately and help Ye Fang come up with a design drawing. Anyway, this island is overseas and no one will pay attention to it. What do you think?"

He Zijie pondered for a moment and knew that this was a major matter involving the revitalization of the family. He could no longer just deal with the matter alone, and said, "Okay, I'll find the person. But how do we contact Ye Fang? Today we have all talked about it." , why are you pulling me back? I won’t let the old lady take action again!"

At this time, He Zijie hated himself for being such an intellectual. If he had been a little more flexible, he wouldn't be like this.

Li Desheng was walking back and forth in the study, suddenly stopped, and said, "I heard that Jiahua and Ye Fang have a good relationship. We might as well ask Jiahua to come back and build a bridge in the middle. There may be some things that we can't talk to Ye Fang conveniently." Fang speaks directly, but the words can be conveyed through Jiahua, what do you think?"

"Okay, I'll talk to my sister-in-law later, and it's settled." He Zijie immediately became happy when he thought of a way to break the situation.

Three days later, He Jiahua, who was studying at Xi'an Kongzhi, was urgently summoned back by his mother Feng Jie.

That night, the He family booked a banquet in Xiyuan. It was nominally a family banquet for He Jiahua to return home, but everyone in the He family knew that the protagonist tonight was Ye Fang.

Ye Fang visited the Ma family and the Hai family in the past two days, and inquired about his plans to build an island base and purchase weapons. The two old men were opposed, thinking that Ye Fang had money but no land. Flowers are worth the loss. Instead of spending a lot of money to renovate the island, it is better to use the money to invest and build in the country. Ye Fang, who was frustrated by the two old men, just returned to the Xiyuan study room when Miyagi followed him in and handed Ye Fang a courier.

"Boss, this is the express delivery I just received. It's for you. It's from South Africa." Miyagi said.

Ye Fang opened the courier and found a CD and a letter inside. The letter was written by Pang Hongfei, and the general idea was that this CD contained all the topographic and hydrological information on the island as well as the construction planning drawings of related civilian buildings. Now we were just waiting for the renovation drawings of Ye Fang's military facilities. Fortunately, it does not affect the progress of other civil projects on the island, but Pang Hongfei hopes that Ye Fang will complete the drawings in the next three months, that is, before the New Year next year.

Ye Fang sighed, frowned, and murmured, "It's not easy." Ye Fang's other way now is to take the upper route, but once he takes the upper route, he will definitely not be able to stop, so he is going to ask Xue Yuanshan He and Ye Youxin wanted to hear their opinions. They had to let these old guys handle many things for them.

"Boss, Young Master He is back, and the He family is having dinner in Room [-] of Qianyuan." Miyagi said.

"Oh? He Jiahua is back! This guy didn't even tell me in advance when he came back. Ask Su Long to come over and get a bottle of 30-year-old Moutai. I'll toast him later." Ye Fang ordered.

Su Long now lives in the Ma family's old house. Zhang Qing found him a private English tutor, so that he can accompany his father Su Hongyi, and on the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to catch up on his English.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away." Miyagi turned around and walked out.

Miyagi is able to have today's help because of the push from the He family, especially He Jiahua, Aiwujiwu, who pushed the He family's resources to accelerate the cultivation of Sulong, so that he can catch up with his peers as soon as possible.

Su Long rushed over immediately after receiving the notice from Miyagi, and then accompanied Ye Fang directly to Room [-] of Qianyuan.

"Brother Ye!"

"Jiahua!"

When He Jiahua saw Ye Fang walking into the room, he immediately gave him a big hug. He Jiahua had grown a lot taller and stronger since the last time he and Ye Fang were separated. The greenness of a young man had faded away and was replaced by the majesty of a soldier. Strong breath. The only phone calls between Ye Fang and He Jiahua in the past few years were all about Su Long. Of course, there was also one warning to Ye Fang. These made Ye Fang feel that He Jiahua was a good brother worth trading his life for.

"You're much stronger!" Ye Fang punched He Jiahua hard and said with a smile.

He Jiahua covered his chest with his hands and said with a smile, "I heard that Boss Ye's business has expanded again. Are you almost the richest man in China?! I heard from my buddy that half of the courtyard houses in Beijing are under the name of your real estate company." Come on, if I want to buy a courtyard house in the future, you can’t kill me.”

"Look what you said, if you want to get married, I will give you a courtyard house!" Ye Fang said generously.

After the two brothers exchanged some pleasantries, He Jiahua also greeted Su Long and briefly asked about his situation in the navy. Then Ye Fang and Su Long sat down at the round table.

Those who came over for dinner today include the He family’s old lady Xue Lan, He Zijie and Li Desheng, as well as their daughter Li Ling’er. In addition to Feng Jie and He Jiahua, Xue Lan’s youngest daughter He Lanhui.

He Lanhui is 50 years old this year. She is really well-maintained and has perfectly inherited the temperament of the children of the Xue Lan family. He Lanhui is the only one of the children of the He family who has not joined the military. In his early years, he worked as an executive in a very powerful group in Beijing. Later, he worked as an executive in a sports goods company affiliated with a state-owned enterprise. After retirement, he established a sports foundation to specialize in national sports and sports. Fitness promotion efforts.

Ye Fang greeted the people of the He family one by one. This was the He family's family banquet after all. Ye Fang sat for a while, drank a few glasses of wine and left with Su Long.

As soon as Ye Fang left, Li Desheng winked at He Jiahua, and He Jiahua understood and immediately followed him out.

"I didn't expect Xiaoye to earn this family fortune at such a young age. It's really not easy!" He Lanhui said sincerely.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Li Desheng and his wife were shocked by this compound since they entered Xiyuan. They did not expect that there is such a mansion compound of the same age as the Forbidden City in the capital.

Xue Lan also entered Xiyuan again after many years. Naturally, she felt inexplicably emotional in her heart. She had also been to this courtyard once when she was young. This time when she came in again, she felt that things were different and people were different. She felt a little sad in her heart for no reason. .

"Whether this matter can be implemented depends on Jiahua. If Jiahua can reach an agreement with Ye Fang, Desheng, you must come forward and talk to Ye Fang privately." Xue Lan said to Li Desheng.

"I know, don't worry." Li Desheng bowed slightly and agreed.

Li Desheng himself may have never dreamed that one day his career would be tied to a young man in his early thirties. His career had been smooth sailing all his life, and others had always asked him for official positions, but he never imagined that such a day would come to him.

Li Ling'er also understood through a few words at Xue Lan's house in the past two days how her father Li Desheng's future career would be, and perhaps it was about the man named Ye Fang that day.

"Who is this person? Even a person with his father's status wants to fawn over him!" Li Ling'er drew a big question mark in her mind.
