Chapter 1 The Eve
Before the appointment, Wang Siyu had a leisure time and finally could relax and no longer be busy with work. However, his daily social engagements did not decrease. Although he had a very high alcohol tolerance, he was still drunk under the siege of everyone. After drinking, he mistakenly regarded Su Xiaohong as Zhou Yuan and caused some embarrassing things. But when he recalled it carefully afterwards, he remembered it but didn't remember anything.
On Friday afternoon, Wang Siyu accompanied Zhou Yuan to Jingnan and met his prospective father-in-law. He just kept it confidential for the time being as agreed before and did not make the relationship public, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Mr. Zhou was in a very good mood. He sat on the leather chair in the study, looked at the two of them with kind expressions, and said with some emotion: "You can't accept your old age. You have all stood at the front desk. We old guys are about to end the curtain."
Wang Siyu was somewhat guilty, smiled uneasy, and said softly: "Old man, you are getting stronger now. I am afraid that you will go further after not using it for two years. If you become the leader of the provincial party committee, how can you easily convince yourself!"
Zhou Songlin smiled slightly, pointed his finger at Wang Siyu, and said with a smile: "Singleman, no wonder he is promoted like a rocket, but he actually picked up a nice thing. I have been delayed in the position of Secretary-General for too long and have no advantage in age. If the change of the term is not going well, I am afraid I will retire and return home!"
Zhou Yuan smiled, made tea and sent it over, snuggled beside him like a good girl, and said softly: "Dad, you must have confidence. Many senior leaders are starting from the position of the top leaders of the prefecture and city. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely go to the next level."
Zhou Songlin picked up the teacup and smiled and said, "My good daughter is right. My father is also trying his best to strive to work until he is 65 years old."
Wang Siyu touched the leather sofa, crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Old man, the same thing, different people will have different effects."
Zhou Songlin took a sip of tea, waved his hand, and said softly: "Actually, I have been indifferent these days. Whether it is an official or an ordinary citizen, they are very calm. Unlike in China, if anyone brings down the other party, they will become irreconcilable enemies. In fact, there is no need to. When you arrive at the station, you will bend down and never be ambiguity."
Wang Siyu nodded repeatedly, but recalled several scenes of accompanying the old man in his mind. From visiting Fang Ruhai at the beginning to hosting Meng Chao later, it was all vivid in my mind.
The old man is a long-standing general in the officialdom, good at dancing, and is at ease in every occasion. Moreover, even when facing the closest person, he is unwilling to tell the truth in his heart. This is the transformation of people in the officialdom. In his subconscious, it is impossible to distinguish which ones are truth and which ones are lies.
After chatting for a while, the phone rang. Zhou Songlin answered the phone, and replied with a few words, "Yeah," and said lightly: "One other day, my daughter will bring her son-in-law to the door and have to drink a few more drinks at home at night, so she won't go out."
Zhou Yuan listened next to her, her pretty face flushed, glanced at Wang Siyu with a squint eyes, stuck out her tongue, showed a helpless expression, then walked to the bookshelf, touched a book, and walked out shyly.
Wang Siyu also felt a little uncomfortable. He took out a cigarette box from his shirt pocket, put it on the coffee table, took out two, walked over, lit the cigarettes, and helped the old man light them. He also lit them, and said with a smile: "Old man, do you know everything?"
Zhou Songlin frowned and took a breath, spitting out a faint smoke from his mouth, and snorted coldly: "Boy, I'm waiting for you to take the initiative to explain, but I don't know if you want the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month."
Wang Siyu smiled, looked down at her toes, and said softly: "That, I have always wanted to confess. Yuanyuan refused. She meant to wait."
Zhou Songlin smiled, stared at Wang Siyu with gentle eyes, and smiled and said, "It is good to be obedient. Men can be strong outside. At home, they still have to listen to their wife, so that they can make fewer mistakes."
Wang Siyu snorted in his heart and thought to himself: "The old man feels sorry for his daughter. His butt is crooked, so the reason is not correct."
However, he nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Of course, you have to listen to the teacher!"
Zhou Songlin smiled slightly, squinted his eyes, and sighed: "It's been a few years in a flash, and this heart disease should be removed. Are you planning to get rid of it?"
Wang Siyu was joking in his heart and said vaguely: "Old man, Yuanyuan has to decide on the specific matter."
Zhou Songlin raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Women outside should be broken. If you get married in the future, you must concentrate on your life and not let Yuanyuan suffer any grievances, otherwise I will never forgive you."
Wang Siyu grinned and stopped saying a word. He just smoked with his head in his mouth. He only hoped that the conversation between them would end soon, so as not to reveal his flaws and make the old man unhappy.
Fortunately, Zhou Songlin did not continue to ask questions, but squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a while, he whispered: "Okay, let's make your decision on your business, so as not to get angry and make you angry."
Wang Siyu was pardoned and sighed lightly, saying with a smile: "Old man, Yuanyuan is very cheerful now and rarely loses her temper."
Zhou Songlin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I know, you have a credit!"
Wang Siyu dusted the ashes and said with a smile: "Old man's arrangement, of course I have to listen to it."
Zhou Songlin said 'oh', looked at him with a smile, and said softly: "Do you have it? I don't remember."
Wang Siyu took out his cell phone, shook it, and smiled and said, "This is what you gave me. It's a couple with Yuanyuan, a couple's cell phone."
Zhou Songlin laughed, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night view of the city, and said lightly: "Xiaoyu, Weibei has been very active in recent years and has been fighting hard. After going there, you must be careful to avoid a big loss."
Wang Siyu smiled and said softly: "Old man, we have never had peace in West China. It is about to change the term, and the whole country is the same."
Zhou Songlin smiled slightly and said implicitly: "Yes, the game of chess is the focus of the contradiction lies in the lack of a unified understanding. On some sensitive issues, the debate between the top leaders is very fierce, and even the big boss is swaying left and right, unable to make decisions."
Wang Siyu frowned slightly, thought for a long time before he extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it into the ashtray, and said carefully: "Old man, what do you think?"
Zhou Songlin rubbed his hair, turned around and looked at him, then sighed, and said slowly: "You must go with the flow. You cannot express your opinion easily before the situation is clear, as it will be too passive."
Wang Siyu shook his head gently and smiled and said, "The later the time is, the more destructive it is. If you cannot adapt to the speed of economic reform, it will seriously restrict development, and it will make dissatisfaction high. If it continues to ferment, it will lead to a concentrated outbreak, which is not conducive to maintaining a stable and united overall situation."
Zhou Songlin was secretly surprised, turned around and sat back to the desk, frowned and looked at Wang Siyu, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, you cannot say these words before reaching a consensus, otherwise you may suffer a great loss in the future."
Wang Siyu waved his hand and said bluntly: "Old man, as long as I have a clear conscience, I am not afraid of calculating the accounts after the fall. It is always the least destructive way to reach an agreement within the system and solve the problem."
Zhou Songlin's face darkened, he slapped the table heavily, and whispered: "Childish! You are still too young and have never suffered any hardships!"
Wang Siyu did not refute, but looked at Zhou Songlin with a smile and said softly: "Old man, some problems cannot be avoided. The masses have crossed the river. We cannot pretend to touch the stones. That is a very stupid manifestation."
Zhou Songlin waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "That's just your wishful thinking. Once the wind changes, everything changes. Politics is sometimes a game of speculation. Before there are enough chips, no one can place a bet easily, otherwise they will lose all their capital and never have a chance to turn over again."
After a pause, he calmed down his tone and said gently: "Xiao Yu, those idealists in the party should engage in poetry creation, not politics. Political games are rational, cruel, or even cold-blooded, without any romanticism."
Wang Siyu picked up the cup and smiled and said, "Old man, we have a big difference on some issues."
Zhou Songlin snorted and waved his hand, "Don't talk about those things after leaving this door. Just concentrate on doing things, don't put yourself on the forefront."
Wang Siyu understood the old man's painstaking efforts, nodded with a smile, and stopped saying a word.
In fact, in a sense, Wang Siyu himself is also a privileged owner and cannot be as radical as those outside the system, but he hopes to become an enlightened official and promote the system to a benign aspect.
Mr. Zhou is an absolute speculator, neither left nor right, nor a centrist. His political position is to always stand on the side of the winner, while Mr. Zhou has a sensitive sense of political smell and superb skills, which allows him to be at ease in the sinister official ecology, as if he is in the water.
Wang Siyu also admired this very much. In his eyes, although Mr. Zhou is not a politician, he is definitely an excellent "politician". Sometimes, being clever is also a kind of smart political wisdom. You must know that in certain specific periods, it is not easy to be self-protection.
After staying at Zhou Songlin's house for two days, he sent Zhou Yuan back to Minjiang, and Wang Siyu rushed back to the provincial capital, visited Li Guoyong, Jiao Nanting and others, and then went to Xishan County to reunite with Bai Snake.
Although Bai Yanni is still charming and tender, she is determined to follow him to Weibei. The reason is very simple. She can't bear to give up her children, and the mother-son relationship is deep and cannot give up. This is human nature. Therefore, Wang Siyu did not force her and could only find another opportunity in the future.
During her stay in Xishan, Wang Siyu went to Tianyu Company. Unfortunately, she did not meet Tang Wanru. She went to another place to inspect the market and it would take a long time to come back. Before leaving West China, she did not have the opportunity to say goodbye to this strong woman in person, and he felt a little disappointed.
A week later, Wang Siyu returned to the provincial capital. He spent the rest of the time staying at home, and did not leave the gate, and stayed with Liu Meier all day long.
Liu Meier naturally couldn't bear to leave him, but because she knew it early and was mentally prepared. In addition, men should put career first, so she was not easy to intervene. However, she also felt a little wronged, and the request for transferring schools was rejected by Wang Siyu, so she was naturally a little dissatisfied.
However, Liu Meier also knew very well that when she arrived in Weibei, she might be more likely to have contact with her ex-girlfriend. It was indeed inconvenient to go there by herself. There were two balls in a football field, so there must be problems.
