Chapter 109 Borrowing chickens to hatch eggs
Before he knew it, Wang Siyu actually chatted with Uncle Cai for half an afternoon. At around five o'clock, the two went downstairs to have dinner together and walked side by side on the street outside the hotel for more than half an hour. After taking a walk, Uncle Cai answered a call and smiled at Wang Siyu, saying that he would go to see an old friend of Tsinghua University later and play a few more games of chess after he came back in the evening. Wang Siyu knew that Uncle Cai was still not giving up, and might be entangled by him for a few days. Thinking of this, he felt a little headache and frowned slightly. After the two returned to the hotel, Wang Siyu turned back to his room and lay on the bed to sort out the content of the afternoon conversation.
Through indirect talks, Wang Siyu learned a lot of things, such as Cai Shu’s real name is Sun Maocai. He served as the life secretary of the Yu family for a long time. He followed the Yu family’s old man for most of his life. After the old man retired, Sun Maocai also resigned from his public office and stayed with the old man all day long, becoming the unscrupulous housekeeper of the Yu family. The Yu family was very polite to him. Even if it was that person, Yu Chunlei, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee, looked at him with admiration and treated him with brothers.
My mother's love rival, the eldest wife of the Yu family, is not having a good life now. First, her brother Shao Yinlou was demoted to the ministry and commission for poor flood prevention in central China Province, causing a large number of casualties, and lost her strong foreign aid. Next, the mother-in-law, who was usually most sympathetic to her, suddenly passed away, which made her lose her reliance at home. She was often scolded by her husband. The eldest wife was sad and depressed all day long. She hid in the study room to read some idle books to pass the time and rarely went out.
The reason why the old man of the Yu family asked Sun Maocai to come to him this time was that he had doubts about the abilities of the four younger generations, and then he had the idea of letting him return to Beijing. It seemed that he wanted to investigate himself. It would be fine if he could not bear the big use. If he was lucky enough to fall into the eyes of the old man of the Yu family, his career would be on the fast lane. With the Yu family as a backer, he would probably be difficult to lose to Maicheng like in Qingyang County.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation. Yearning for power is the original desire of every normal man. Wang Siyu is no exception. He has also been shaken at a certain moment, but when he thinks of me, he feels betrayal, which makes him feel ashamed. Most importantly, although Sun Maocai is evasive, Wang Siyu still came to a conclusion that made him angry. My mother and herself were driven out of the capital by the old lady of the Yu family. In this matter, no one seems to be on the side of their mother and son. Is such a family really worth accepting?
At this moment, when he heard a hearty laughter from the corridor, Wang Siyu quietly walked to the door and opened a gap. Hearing Sun Maocai was greeting people, the two of them walked out while talking and laughing. Wang Siyu stood by the door for a while and thought for a while, then turned around to pack up his things, put all his clothes and toiletries into his travel bags, and after sorting them out, he went to the hotel service desk to exit the room, and wrote a letter to Uncle Cai. He walked to the door of the next room with his luggage, threw the letter paper underground, and gently picked up the tip of his shoes, and the letter paper was kicked into the room. Wang Siyu shook his head and smiled, and quickly walked downstairs with his things, and then took a taxi to the TV station's family building.
Some time ago, Fang Ruhai had thrown him a bunch of keys. Wang Siyu originally planned to move them over after a while, but Sun Maocai's arrival changed his mind. Since a big stone was smashed from the calm lake, Wang Siyu's little silverfish did not want to be affected by it, the best way was to swim away with its tail.
The Provincial TV Family Building is located on Huayuan Road, Shunyi District. The taxi drove for 40 minutes on the road before arriving. After getting off the bus, Wang Siyu directly entered the community with two bags, one big and one small, and walked in for more than ten minutes before finding Building 16. After going upstairs, he took the key to open the door and entered the house. He knew that it was really not a person who lived here for a long time. Although the room was full of furniture, it was covered with dust everywhere.
Wang Siyu put his luggage at the door and first walked around the house. This was a three-bedroom, two living rooms and two bathrooms. It was about 180 square meters. There was an oversized balcony on both sides of the north and south. The smell in the house was a bit choking. Wang Siyu hurriedly opened all the windows in the living room and bedroom to let the fresh air in the outside. Then he took off his coat, put it in the wardrobe, and then went to the bathroom to get the mop, and started to fuck it. At this moment, he realized that sometimes, cleaning the room was actually a mood...
After working for two or three hours, the house was finally cleaned up. Wang Siyu was also exhausted and sweaty. After taking a shower, he lay in the bathtub for a while and then went to bed with thick review materials, turned on the desk lamp at the head of the bed, began to calm down, and read it carefully. After only half an hour, he felt dizzy. The major was not right and the time was short. It seemed that this exam was very difficult. Wang Siyu frowned and thought for a while, and had to decide to take a chance. He took out a wallpaper knife from the drawer, carefully cut the information into note, and then made marks on the note. Next, he began to recite which note was what questions were on the note. He was not good at cheating in the exam, so he must be more prepared this time.
At this time, the International Business Hotel, located at No. 168 Huaxing Avenue, Heping District, was at its most lively time. The parking lot at the entrance was already full of high-end cars, and many small cars were parked in the distance. Many well-dressed figures were in and out at the entrance of the hotel. The whole building was brightly lit, like a beacon rising from the ground under the night, and the light was enough to illuminate several nearby blocks. There were five people sitting in a luxurious private room on the 27th floor, including Meng Chao, the executive deputy secretary of the West China Provincial Party Committee, and the other was Sun Maocai who came from the capital.
Meng Chao was burly and his years of habit made him look solemn and serious even when he sat at the dining table. His expression seemed to be in a meeting place for thousands of people. He was rigorous and dull. His eyes were staring at the wall opposite, as if something was attracting him. The wife Wang Xiaocui, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on her face, and she talked about many old things with Sun Maocai from time to time, and gently touched Meng Chao with her elbow. Meng Chao then smiled and said, "Old classmate, I have any objections. If Xiaocui hadn't called me, I wouldn't know you would have come to West China."
Sun Maocai smiled, picked up a purple potato braised egg with chopsticks and put it in Meng Mengmeng's plate, put it down, and whispered: "Brother Meng, I, the public servant, come here to take a walk, how dare you, the local official? After all, you are busy with official duties and don't want to cause trouble for you."
After hearing this, Meng Chao couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "You are not a simple commoner. If you want to enter Lao Yu's house, you have to overcome your hurdle first. I wonder how many officials in Beijing dream of currying about you, the commoner!"
After hearing this, Sun Maocai laughed, patted his knees with his hand and said, "Who else can you score? If Brother Meng wants to visit the Yu family, I will definitely stand ten miles outside the city to greet him."
Meng Chao snorted in his nose, picked up his cup and said, "The threshold of his family is too high, I'm afraid I'll trip and fall a lot. But old classmate, if you want to go to Shanghai, I, Meng Chao, can be your tour guide for you."
Sun Maocai also picked up the cup and said, "I appreciate the kindness of my old classmate, but I am a rough man in the mountains and fields and cannot go to that prosperous resort."
The two of them touched their glasses gently, and both took a sip. Wang Xiaocui said sadly in his tone next to him: "You guys are the best friends in college, but now they are like two fighting roosters when they meet, and they always fight endlessly. During private parties, can you not mention factional disputes?"
After hearing Wang Xiaocui's words, Meng Chao raised his eyebrows slightly and scolded softly: "There is unity within the party. Where is the factional dispute? What do you know about women? Don't talk nonsense."
At this time, when his daughter Meng Mengmeng heard him scold her mother, she immediately stopped doing it. She put down her chopsticks with a snap, waved her fist, and protested at Meng Chao: "Dad, don't bully mother."
Wang Xiaocui whispered hypocrisy, winked at her eldest son Meng Zhensheng, who was sitting opposite him, coughed, and said softly: "Zhensheng, why don't you toast your Uncle Sun to drink? Last time you caused trouble in the capital. If it weren't for your Uncle Sun's help, it wouldn't be so easy. Don't be so conscience-less like your father, you are old-fashioned and don't understand the worldly style."
Meng Zhensheng quickly picked up the cup and stood up, and shouted: "Uncle Sun, thanks to you last time, otherwise I would have fallen in the capital. Can you stay for a few more days this time, I will take you around."
Sun Maocai waved his hand and signaled him to sit down. The two of them touched the glass gently. Sun Maocai took a small sip, while Meng Zhensheng drank it all in one go.
At this time, Meng Chao's face was a little uneasy, so he started to talk and laugh at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.
After the meal, the waiter brought the fruit plate. When Wang Xiaocui saw Meng Chao wink, she hurriedly led a pair of children to open the side door and walked to the bag opposite to watch TV. Meng Chao and Sun Maocai sat on the sofa on the west side of the private room one after another, and the two began to talk softly.
Meng Chao picked up a watermelon, handed it to Sun Maocai, and whispered: "Old Yu is in good health? He hasn't shown up for almost two years."
Sun Maocai smiled and nodded, "The old man is in good health. He has quit smoking in the past two years. He gets up on time at 5:30 every morning for morning exercises. He often says that after retirement, he compares who will live longer."
After hearing this, Meng Chao smiled slightly, took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table, took out one, held it in his hand and slowly twisted it. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he put the cigarette firmly between his fingers, lit the fire with a "splash", frowned and took a sip of it, and wisps of blue smoke came out from his mouth.
Sun Maocai leaned back, glanced at Meng Chao, and whispered: "How is Mr. Wu's health now? I heard that he was not in good health last year. I went to the United States for treatment for half a year. Is there no problem?"
Meng Chao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wu's body is stronger than mine now. It is said that he can play tennis for two or three hours every day, and it will be fine if he lives for another twenty or thirty years. It doesn't cost the old classmates the worry. But I heard that the flood in central China has not yet been completed, and there are still a group of people to deal with. Secretary Chunlei's mistress is in central China, right? How about it, will there be any problems?"
Sun Maocai patted his thighs gently, shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, what can he do? The collapsed reservoir was built before he went there, and it has nothing to do with him."
After hearing this, Meng Chao nodded with his face, and the ashes in his fingers frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
Sun Maocai looked at the cup on the coffee table and said, "This time, the general change in Central China, I thought Brother Meng would go further, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wu would push Shi Chongqing up. This decision is really hard to understand. I always thought that Brother Meng's talent is far above him."
After hearing this, Meng Chao's eyebrows trembled a few times inadvertently, then smiled slightly, returned to normal, and shook his head and said, "Old classmate, that's the decision of the organization. Mr. Wu's opinions are just a reference. We should concentrate on our work. Other matters will be considered in the organization. As an official and benefit the party, personal advancement and retreat are nothing."
The two chatted for a while, and Meng Chao suddenly changed the subject and whispered: "Maocai, I have something I want to discuss with you."
When Sun Maocai heard him call out his name, he was slightly stunned. He hurriedly leaned over and said with a serious expression: "You said."
Meng Chao did not speak, but took out a letter from his pocket and threw it on the coffee table, stopping talking.
Sun Maocai picked up the envelope, took out a few pages of the letter paper from it, looked over carefully, and after reading it, put the letter paper back into the envelope, his expression became colder, and after pondering for a while, he said: "This matter is great. You need to wait until I return to the capital to answer you. But Brother Meng, you must be careful not to be noticed by the other party. The one who is famous for protecting his shortcomings is careful not to beat the dog but will be bitten."
Meng Chao's face was a little gloomy and a little scary. He whispered: "Maocai, after thinking about it, he had to play this card. You must help with this matter. Don't forget the matter three years ago. I have worked hard. You will always have to pay back my favor."
Sun Maocai nodded, patted his thigh and shook his head, "That's right, but this matter is indeed very troublesome..."
Meng Chao frowned and took a few sips, snatched half of the cigarette butts, twisted them hard in the ashtray a few times, and whispered: "Don't keep it a secret, just say something, I know you have never been willing to suffer any losses in your work."
Sun Maocai smiled slightly, whispered a few words in Meng Chao's ear, and then looked at him with a smile.
After hearing this, Meng Chao was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind and nodded, "I will take time to travel to Shanghai before the end of the month, and you will also have to take a breather with Mr. Yu."
"It should be no problem." Sun Maocai said this very relaxed and casually, but Meng Chao could certainly hear the weight. His frown brows stretched out, let out a gentle breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You old fox, the more you live, the less promising you are, and you always like to take advantage of it."
Sun Maocai smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "By the way, Brother Meng, there is another thing that needs to be asked for you."
After hearing this, Meng Chao couldn't help but sigh, and glanced at Sun Maocai and said, "Sun Maocai, Sun Maocai, you are still breathing after praising you for being fat, are you still going to be like this guy?"
Sun Maocai gently patted his thigh with his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, don't be nervous. It's actually a trivial matter. I have an old friend who is developing in West China since then, but I have been delayed for more than two years. I'm walking a little slow now. I hope Brother Meng can take care of him, and it's best to put it under your hands for two years."
After hearing this, Meng Chao let out a long sigh and nodded, "There is no problem, give me his information."
Sun Maocai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to send it to you in a few days. It's a bit stubborn. He doesn't like others to interfere too much in his affairs."
After hearing this, Meng Chao nodded and said, "Then this kid is really good, maybe he can do something."
After the main talk, several people talked about it again and left the hotel with a joke. Sun Maocai insisted on taking a taxi. Meng Chao and his family had to call a taxi for him. After the car left, Sun Maocai shook the window, looked at the night view on the street, and smiled and said, "It's good to borrow chickens to hatch eggs, but this transaction is really profitable."
After seeing off Sun Maocai, Meng Chao and his family got into the car and rushed home. On the way, Meng Chao, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Zhen Sheng, I have recently come into contact with Hou Bing and the others. What are the four young masters in the provincial capital? They are simply playing the piano randomly."
Meng Zhensheng hurriedly said, "That's all the screams outside, I didn't get involved with them."
Meng Chao nodded and said, "That's good. You don't go to the rich entertainment city in the future. Some people may want to borrow that thing to mess with the Hou family."
Meng Zhensheng muttered: "A small criminal case has been hyped up, and those people are really bored."
Meng Chao sighed and shook his head and said, "That's just a vine. What people want to touch is a melon. Don't yell around if you don't know. Many things are something you don't know. If I'm not mistaken, Fang Rujing will definitely grab this matter and squeeze the Hou family's power out of Hudong District."
Meng Zhensheng hesitated and said, "Isn't the matter already suppressed?"
"The more you press, the higher you bounce." After saying this, Meng Chao slowly closed his eyes.
