Excellent little farmer

The car started slowly, with the Mercedes-Benz running in front. I hadn't smoked for several hours on the plane. I got addicted to cigarettes. I took out a hibiscus king, stuffed it into my mouth, lit it with a frown, took a few puffs, and said softly: "Sister Zheng, it's true that you just landed and you haven't done anything yet, so you forced Secretary Zhou to appoint an official and make a wish. It feels weird. Don't do this again in the future."

Zheng Yujia sneered, shook his head repeatedly and said: "What's wrong? There are many officials in this world. If you don't fight for it, if you don't fight for it, how can you expect anyone to imitate Lei Feng and do good things and take advantage of the good position?" If I leave it to you, that would be really weird!"

I sighed and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant, I just think that this method is not appropriate and I deserve it."

Zheng Yujia turned the steering wheel and said angrily: "You just have an old habit and can't save face. In fact, this is normal. In life, you have to be able to fight and grab so that you can eat and occupy more. You are good at everything else. It just lacks aggressiveness, not like a lion, but more like a sheep. This is not the case. On this battlefield, only true warriors can be feared and respected."

I smiled, dusted off the cigarette ashes, looked out the car window, and said with a smile: "Maybe, but I still hope to rely on my own efforts and work down-to-earth, not to mention that at such a young age, I am responsible for An important position can easily arouse people's discussion."

Zheng Yujia pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Actually, what you said is good, but you must remember that in this world, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of talents. Talent alone is not enough, if there is no suitable position , If you don’t have good opportunities, it’s all in vain. If you want to get ahead, you have to be more ruthless, stronger, and more domineering than others. You have to have a wolfish nature, and you must even do whatever it takes to succeed.”

I smiled slightly, raised my head and blew out a smoke ring, nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Zheng, I learned a lesson."

Zheng Yujia breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Xiaoquan, how many days do you plan to stay here this time?"

I smiled and said hesitantly: "About three days. Deputy Secretary Zhou is very busy. There are many things in the province that cannot be separated from him."

Zheng Yujia snorted and said, "If nothing happens, you can stay a little longer. In another week, the eldest lady and Jiaqi will be back. You and Jiaqi haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

I smiled, nodded slightly and said, "I can't help it. It's just you. If it had been anyone else, they would have knocked on the door a long time ago."

Zheng Yujia glared at me and said: "Okay, I have a good temper, which is a good sign. If you want to succeed, you have to be stronger."

I sighed, glanced at that delicate face, and murmured: "Little White Rabbit, Little White Rabbit, you are really getting more and more aggressive!"

The two cars drove on the road for nearly forty minutes and finally arrived near the Imperial City. The cars were wandering around in the criss-crossing alleys. As far as the eye could see, they were all courtyard houses with the characteristics of the capital city. Those courtyards had experienced numerous wind and rain attacks. , and the vermilion gate with unchanged appearance exudes dazzling light under the sunlight, as if it is still telling memories from the depths of history. According to Zheng Yujia, at this time, it can still be seen in the imperial city. Most of the people who occupy a place in the courtyard are not ordinary people.

"Once you enter the Marquis Gate, it's as deep as the sea."

The people who live in these deep mansions must be extraordinary people with great strategies and political wisdom. My eyes fell on the mottled green bricks and tiles through the car window, and the sound of Huqin sounded in my ears. , a kind of Peking Opera-like chanting, also quietly sounded in the ears. For politicians who are high in the temple, their lives are probably a drama that never ends, but the excitement on the stage is only It belongs within the high wall and has always been kept secret.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of a courtyard where a guard was standing. Two heroic soldiers in military uniforms stood beside the gate. I got out of the car and walked to the Cadillac behind. Opening the car door, he asked Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Zhou Mingfeng to get out of the car. After Deputy Secretary Zhou got off the car, his eyes fell on the door and looked at a large banyan tree with lush branches. He stopped, pointed with his hand, and said with deep emotion: "This is a truly wealthy family. The history carried by one tree can be written for hundreds of years."

I also deeply believe that although the old houses in my hometown do not have much economic value, they become difficult to let go just because of the unforgettable memories. However, under the roots of the imperial city, these courtyards, large and small, are dotted here and there, but they are unusual. Precious cultural landscapes that have weathered many vicissitudes of life are like business cards that will never fade in this capital city. What they represent is also the condensed modern history of the Chinese dynasty.

Out of respect for the master, everyone looked solemn, and with an almost pious worship complex, they lined up and filed in.

This is a typical courtyard house. After passing through the second gate and coming to the main courtyard, you can see that there are all kinds of rockeries and trees in the courtyard. Jujube trees, crab apples, and Chinese toon are planted against the wall, and the small hanging flower door is in front of it. The lotus vat constitutes an extremely interesting courtyard scene. The carved railings, cloister columns, and starlings hanging under the eaves all give people extremely pleasant visual enjoyment.

"Secretary Zhou, let's go have dinner first!" Zheng Yujia stopped, turned to look at Zhou Mingfeng, and said in a low voice.

Zhou Mingfeng smiled, looked around, and said softly: "No need, we are on the plane and have already had lunch."

Zheng Yujia pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "At this time, the old man is probably taking a lunch break and won't wake up until later."

Zhou Mingfeng snorted, nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat first. The lunch box on the plane is too small, and Xiaoye doesn't seem to be full."

With a smile on her face, Zheng Yujia led everyone into the third room in the west wing. The dining table inside was already filled with sumptuous dishes. When she opened the silver tableware, she saw that the dishes were exquisite and the room was full of fragrance, which made people excited. .

Zhou Mingfeng is knowledgeable and realized that several of the dishes, which seemed simple, were actually famous dishes in the Manchu-Han banquet. Among them was the Guanyan, with a phoenix tail and large skirt wings. Everyone knew the rules and just ate their food without drinking. The restaurant seemed extremely quiet.

After dinner, we went to the chess and card room next door to rest. I came here once in a hurry when I was on a business trip, but I was still very unfamiliar with the compound. I remember that the last time I came here, I met Bai Mengni’s sister, who wanted to be a star. Bai Xue, the two of them also had dialogue dialogues before, but they were pulled away by Shao Yanran as soon as they came into contact. Thinking of that bright girl who was a bit naturally stupid, she found it very interesting and kept shaking her head.

In fact, I know very well that the film and television industry has always been a place of right and wrong, and the Hongtai Bai family is determined not to let Bai Xue get involved. Her real way out is probably to rely on marriage to enhance political influence and then promote the family industry.

Thinking of this, I felt that Bai Mengni might have made the same choice, and she felt a little more sad in her heart. After resting for about half an hour, Zheng Yujia came in like a little flower swaying in the wind, pushed the door open and entered the house, pursing her lips and saying: "Secretary Zhou, the old man is awake and in good spirits. He wants to talk to you."

"Okay." Zhou Mingfeng did not dare to neglect, quickly took the briefcase, followed closely behind her, and walked slowly towards the main room.

Liu Zongyan stood in front of the window with a teacup in his hand, murmuring: "One day, if you can earn such a family fortune, your life will be worthwhile."

I smiled slightly, walked to his side, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, why are you suddenly feeling emotional?"

Liu Zongyan sighed, held his hands on the window lattice, and said with some helplessness: "They say they stand up at thirty and have no doubts at forty, but at my age, I am still doing odd jobs around the leader, running around, just eating and drinking, saying I feel really ashamed. The gap between my current life and my original ideal is so big. Sometimes I think about it and it’s really unbearable to look back.”

I smiled slightly and said softly: "Brother Liu, you are now a capable person next to Secretary Mingfeng, and you have won his respect and trust. As long as you continue to develop according to this momentum, given time, you will become a prosperous person. Your future is limitless, so why bother?" Yu Huai."

Liu Zongyan waved his hand, took a sip of tea, looked out the window, towards the main room, and said sourly: "Brother Ye, people are really incomparable. Just like you, with the help of Mr. Zheng, you have just arrived in the capital." , I received a rare gift, which is really enviable.”

I knew clearly that the scene that had just happened at the airport had brought great excitement to Liu Zongyan. It was as if he had been stabbed in his heart and it was hard to let go. So he said softly: "Brother Liu, those are all things that have disappeared. I don't take them to heart." I just want to do the things in front of me well."

"Yes!"

Liu Zongyan was slightly absent-minded. After a long while, he sighed, looked away, reached out and patted my shoulder, and said kindly: "Don't worry, the boss has always been reliable in his words and actions. Since he promised to let you go to exercise, he will definitely fulfill it." , I believe that it won’t be long before you will play an important role in the county below. It will be like a fish jumping in the ocean and a bird flying in the sky.”
