Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

"The Ji star brings wind, the Bi star brings rain, and the moon's following star brings wind and rain."

Zhao Dingcheng put out the unmarked cigarette in his hand, looked at the smoke-filled room, opened the window of the study and looked at the starry sky, and said something inexplicably.

As the cold wind blew in, Zhao Jianjun shivered subconsciously and asked

"Dad, do you think my brother-in-law and my eldest sister really can't get along anymore?"

"You said the same to my eldest sister. She is just a woman from outside. What's the point of her controlling her brother-in-law so strictly?"

"It will cause unrest in the family, and it will not do any good to my eldest sister."

When Zhao Jianjun thought of his mad elder sister Zhao Yazhi, he couldn't help but sympathize with Li Huaide.

Zhao Dingcheng naturally would not only consider the relationship between Li Huaide and Zhao Yazhi. After a minute of silence at the window, he closed the door and said,

"Li Huaide has seen that our Zhao family's resources will no longer be tilted towards him."

“This is to keep our distance.”

"Humph"

Zhao Jianjun asked in confusion

"Dad, even if my brother-in-law thinks that our Zhao family will not help him move up anymore..."

"Then he can't give us an excuse to demote him, right?"

"I've learned about the Third Mechanical Processing Institute. It's a small factory that processes parts for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. It has only about 2,000 people."

"Isn't this equivalent to destroying his own future?"

Zhao Jianjun could understand that Li Huaide wanted to keep a certain distance from the Zhao family. After all, his eldest sister was in such a state now, and the Zhao family would no longer provide any political resources to Li Huaide. It was understandable that Li Huaide wanted to find another way out.

But Zhao Jianjun couldn't understand why Li Huaide was demoted to a branch factory. What was going on?

Zhao Dingcheng's eyes were erratic

Suddenly asked a question

"How is your contact with Zhang Renkang now?"

Zhao Jianjun nodded and said

“The relationship is pretty good”

"His mistress and sister used to work in the textile factory. I arranged for them to work there."

"We have an appointment to get together in a few days."

Zhao Dingcheng nodded and said

"You became the director of the Red Star Steel Mill thanks to other people's efforts."

"This factory was originally classified as a second-level factory in the ministry. It was established as a subsidiary of Shougang by integrating the assets of the Lou family."

"Zhang Renkang has made great contributions to the development to this point."

"You should contact him more often, and it would be best to discuss his views on the situation from the side."

"Compared to him, our inherent disadvantage is that we have no choice"

“No choice.”

Zhao Dingcheng said two things in a row and had no choice. I don't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Jianjun said tentatively

"Dad, isn't Chief Komori quite satisfied with the work of our Ministry of Industry?"

"Besides, after a few years we can be considered close to our subordinates."

"Our Zhao family should at least have a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry, right?"

Zhao Dingcheng shook his head. Standing in different positions, you see different things.

Zhao Jianjun only saw that the current situation was very good.

But Zhao Dingcheng had keenly sensed a hint of decay from several gatherings.

Luxurious crystal chandelier

Beautiful handmade carpet

Men and women dancing to elegant music

On the table are imported red wines, special white wines and delicious dishes that are not available outside.

The cost of this party is equivalent to the economic investment of a poor county in half a year.

These people have gone too far.

There are already those shadows in history

They are coming back

Zhao Dingcheng no longer hesitated and looked at his son and said

"Your brother is in the military, but the label on him is too heavy."

"You and I, father and son, are even more important pawns in the industrial system, not to mention that your uncle has already become a pawn."

"Our Zhao family has either been prosperous for the past few years or not."

"Or be trampled into the soil and turned into dust"

"If you have a good relationship with Zhang Renkang, maybe at a critical moment, our Zhao family can still maintain its vitality."

"At least, the third generation still has a path to becoming an official."

"As for Li Huaide, since he can't survive anymore..."

"Then ask them whether they want to divorce or keep their dignity."

"If he wants to go to the branch factory, let him go."

"No matter what, he is still the son-in-law of the Zhao family. It's not that easy to cut him off."

"He doesn't recognize the child?"

Zhao Dingcheng planned to use Li Huaide as a foreshadowing. Since Li Huaide had his own ideas, he would suppress them. In case of any changes in the future, Li Huaide would be the last fruit of the Zhao family.

At least protect a few young people to enter the official career and give them a hand

For these families

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is the root of its survival

The same reasoning applies to Zhang Renkang, Zhang Yuhua, and Zhang Renjia.

Zhang Renkang exposed himself, attracting all the attention

Zhang Renjia was transferred to the northern front and buried.

Once Zhang Renkang is breached

At least the Zhang family still has a chance to make a comeback.

After Zhao Dingcheng asked Zhao Jianjun to leave, he looked at the report on the desk and sighed.

"comet"

“Comets are not necessarily a bad omen”

“It could also be a good omen for the country.”

"Then I will give you a push and see how far you want to go."

Zhou Li: The Xiuqin clan is in charge of the method of observing the ten lights to observe evil omens and distinguish good from bad.

March

Zhang Renkang smiled and looked at Zhao Dingcheng and explained

"Secretary Zhao, our idea is based on the technical achievements of Comet 1"

"Relying on the Hongqi model as a model, we polished out the first small-displacement sedan in our country."

"It absolutely meets the official needs of our units at all levels"

Zhao Dingcheng brought a dozen heads of industrial departments of the Ministry of Industry, large and small, to visit a black car.

Smiled and said

"Can you please introduce your achievements in the past three years?"

"Let's take a look at this rising star who has made a name for himself in three years."

Zhang Renkang pointed at the black car in front of him with pride. This is a 1.2t engine + 3AT gearbox based on the Comet test car, with a maximum power output of 45KW and a maximum speed of 73 kilometers per hour. The appearance is designed by Zhang Renkang based on the first generation Passat (B1) created by Volkswagen in .

The car has a flat front, double round headlights, and a red five-pointed star in the middle of the twelve horizontal lines of the radiator grille.

Black body, four doors, no trunk

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"At 80 kilometers per hour, the fuel consumption is liters, and the range is kilometers."

"Our tester ran from the Xinxing Automobile Factory to Tianjin, and only had half a tank of gas back."

"Both the quietness and comfort are several times better than the models currently used in China."

"Second only to some Hongqi exclusives"

Zhang Renkang explained with a smile

"Instead of me introducing it, why don't you go up and try it yourself, Chief?"

Zhao Dingcheng nodded and said with a smile

"Okay, I'll try being a representative."

"Renkang, come with me."

Today, Zhang Renkang drove a prototype car. If he wanted to test it, Zhao Dingcheng had to experience it himself.

Zhang Renkang signaled Tang Qi to start the car, opened the door for Zhao Dingcheng from the left side of the back seat, and waited for him to get in before running to the right side to get in and explaining with a smile.

"Secretary Zhao, this is just the first finalized version we just rolled off the production line. I'll drive over to report to you soon."

"If there is anything wrong, please point it out."

Zhao Dingcheng curiously touched the seats and the leather roof in the car, then looked at the small area on the door that was full of holes and said:

"You have installed a horn on your car?"

Zhang Renkang explained

"The current model is divided into two parts, one of which is double-glazed."

"This is it."

Then he handed it to Zhao Dingcheng, rolled down the window, pointed at the double-layered hollow window and explained

“Better soundproofing”

"In addition, the engine is a reverse imitation of the small-displacement engine purchased by Hans. Compared with the current domestic gasoline engines, the noise is much smaller when starting and running."

"It is entirely possible to play tapes and listen to the radio in the car."

“It fully meets the needs of the public sector.”
