October Chapter 18.

…………………………………………………

Xiong Dawei and Hou Weidong had a drink, and then he said, "Xiaoyong is going to Maoyun to be the Minister of Organization."

Ning Yue was even more surprised and said, "Xiao Yong is the boss and lives a very free life. He has a house under Tieping Mountain. He built it on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. He lives in it and lives like a god. Why does he need to enter the officialdom?"

Xiong Dawei said: "Everyone has ambition, and cannot force it. A little brave man is round on the outside and square on the inside, and he is very smart. He should have a future in political development."

Hou Weidong had known about Zhu Xiaoyong for a long time, and he had received accurate news at this time, which meant that Zeng Zhaoqiang had no chance at all. He smiled and said, "Xiaoyong is an intellectual. He should have the dream of cultivating oneself, managing his family, governing the country and pacifying the world. He wants to go into politics, I understand."

Ning Yue shook her head and said, "In the past two years, my ideas have changed. If I were Xiaoyong, I would concentrate on building a few reservoirs and doing something real, which is more meaningful than being an official."

Xiong Dawei said: "Will you give up your position as secretary of the municipal party committee now and go to a business or school?"

Ning Yue thought for a while and said, "It's very difficult to stop. The officialdom is just a whirlpool. It's difficult to get in and it's even harder to get out."

After talking about Zhu Xiaoyong, Xiong Dawei told Hou Weidong in a very serious tone: "What I just said is my heart. I really hope you will come to Lingxi to work. Lingxi is a provincial capital. Its competitor is not a city in Lingxi Province, but other equal cities in the country. If you manage Lingxi well, you will have a foothold in the domestic politics."

Hou Weidong didn't expect Xiong Dawei to speak so bluntly and was about to answer.

Xiong Dawei said again: "We are nicknamed the Tu Communist Party, but I think the word Tu just shows that we are from the people and are proud of it. But we cannot always be the Tu Communist Party, and we should have a greater mind and dare to face the overall situation of the world.

Weidong is the youngest official-level cadre in the province. Its development prospects are limitless, but to truly go higher and faster, it is better to choose the best position. Although Maoyun has developed relatively quickly in recent years, its total economic output has risen to sixth in Lingxi. However, Maoyun is a local city after all, and has no national influence. If he becomes the leader of Lingxi City, the development space can be truly opened."

Hou Weidong did not deliberately be modest. He said solemnly: "With the encouragement of two leaders, I will definitely work hard, but the first step is to go to Maoyun to open up the situation and do something steadily."

After leaving the Venus Hotel, Hou Weidong took a deep breath before getting on the bus. He used to pass through the obstacles and his horizons became wider, but his thinking was still limited to a province. After hearing Xiong Dawei's words, his mind expanded a lot, and his life coordinates gradually went from a province to the whole country.

Sometimes, the goal of life is often to be occasionally ignited.

After getting in the car, she would go to the Provincial People's Hospital to visit her mother as usual. Every day, work, banquet, hospital, and family, these four-point styles have become a rule. Liu Guangfen also formed the habit of waiting for her son Hou Weidong every day. As long as Hou Weidong did not come to the hospital every day, she would not really sleep. Sometimes, when Hou Weidong came later, she would first take a nap on the hospital bed. When Hou Weidong came, she took off her clothes and slept seriously.

When I arrived at the hospital, there was a BMW with a Shazhou license plate in the place where I often parked. This was the new BMW of Hou Weidong's second sister Hou Xiaoying. In recent years, my second sister Hou Xiaoying and her brother-in-law Liang Yong have been doing foreign trade business, mainly for the Southeast Asian market, and have also made a lot of money and bought a good car and a good house. Later, Liu Guangfen had an operation in Lingxi City, and Hou Xiaoying planned to buy a house in Lingxi.

Usually, Liang Yong is busy doing business and doesn’t have much time to see his mother in the hospital. Hou Weidong has met her two or three times in the hospital. When he saw this car today, he just thought that his second sister was coming, but he didn’t expect that Liang Yong was there too.

When he opened the door, he saw his brother-in-law Liang Yong sitting next to the hospital bed. He greeted Liu Guangfen first, and then he greeted his brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, here you are here."

Liang Yong said, "I went to Lingxi today to negotiate the contract and looked at the house your sister chose. Xiaojia was not with you."

Hou Weidong said, "Xiaojia has something to do. I just had a meal with Secretary Ning Yue." He said, "There are many newly opened properties in Lingxi, and the quality is pretty good. The key is to see where you want to be." He asked his brother-in-law again: "Is your business good recently?"

Liang Yong was lucky and his stomach was high. He pushed his glasses and said, "The business is not bad, but our business is greatly affected by the international market. This year is good, but next year may not be good, so I can't say it."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "You are one of the few companies in Shazhou that can earn foreign exchange. I remember that there were always stories to teach us that we should work hard to earn foreign exchange for the country, but now I won't mention this matter."

Liang Yong said: "It's different now than back then. The country is relatively rich, so we don't need to create foreign exchange. We used to have a shortage of foreign exchange, but now there is a large foreign exchange reserve. Especially coastal enterprises are mostly foreign trade. Our foreign trade enterprises are pretty good in Shazhou, but there is no advantage in the coastal areas. I don't want to do it anymore, it's too difficult."

Hou Yonggui sat next to Liu Guangfen. At this time, he had completely adapted to his retirement life. His mind was filled with Liu Guangfen's condition. When he heard his son and son-in-law talk about business matters, he sat aside and listened without saying a word.

On the contrary, Liu Guangfen was very energetic and didn't look like a patient at all. She called Hou Xiaoying to the bedside, and the mother and daughter bit their ears and talked.

Liang Yong chatted with Hou Weidong for some home-climbing conversation and said, "When will you go to Maoyun to work?"

"We should go on a little while ago. We have to go to Maoyun to spend the New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, and we will deal with the election next year." Hou Weidong's ability to observe the words and expressions has improved rapidly in recent years. When he talks about the east, he knows the west, and when he mentions the south, he thinks of the north. Looking at Liang Yong's expression, he understands that his second sister and brother-in-law are really asking for something for him. He is like Jiang Taigong, sitting beside Liu Guangfen's bed, talking to his brother-in-law, and talking to his father Hou Yonggui about Shazhou's public security.

"In recent years, Shazhou Public Security's equipment has been incomparable to those years."

When talking about public security affairs, Hou Yonggui was full of energy. He curled his lips and said, "Just relying on technical defense and not on the masses, we can never do a good job in public security. Nowadays, the public security leaders are all prodigal sons and have lost all the old traditions."

This topic is a topic that Hou Weiguo and Hou Yonggui have been arguing with each other for more than ten years, and neither of them is convinced by each other. In fact, after Hou Weiguo became the deputy director of Shazhou Public Security Bureau, he often said something in his mouth, "combining professional and group", and as a result, Hou Weidong was nicknamed "combining professional and group director" by some new criminal police.

After sitting for more than an hour, Hou Weidong saw that his fat brother-in-law Liang Yong had already started to get tired of his body and said, "Brother-in-law is hard to get from Lingxi. I'll invite you to have a drink outside."

Liang Yong said: "I will pay today, Weidong should not compete with me."

For Hou Weidong and Liang Yong, having a meal is too simple. Hou Weidong joked: "If you want to pay, don't invite a late-night snack in the evening. If you want to invite a meal, please give me a big meal."

Liang Yong said: "Tomorrow I will invite my parents to dinner and go to the Venus Hotel."

Liu Guangfen liked this son-in-law very much and said, "Liang Yong, look at your belly, it's all oily. You are not young anymore. Pay attention to the three highs. Don't think of eating and drinking in one day. When you are really sick, you will know that your body is yours and everything else is outside the body."

Hou Xiaoying also said: "Liang Yong, have you heard that your belly is bigger than when I was pregnant. If it grows, it is absolutely undesirable."

Under the advice of the family, Hou Weidong, Hou Xiaoying and Liang Yong left the hospital.

Liang Yong said: "It's not interesting to eat too much food in a big hotel. After eating, it's not as delicious as a small restaurant. Let's find a Lingxi food stall to have night beer."

"This weather makes you die of beer."

"It is popular to drink beer and add some ginger, rock sugar and other ingredients, which is still very delicious." Liang Yong joked again: "Wei Dong socializes with high-ranking officials and nobles in a hotel every day, and he can't get the ground atmosphere. Today we go to the food stall to experience the lives of ordinary people."

"Okay, I'll go eat the food stall, but to be clear, I'm a lump of the county town and have never been a high-ranking official."

After getting on the bus with a joke, several people came to a famous food stall street in Lingxi. This street has a name called "No Night to Receive", and the food stall is not Received at Night to Receive. The signs along the street seem to be like an animal world. All animals that can be eaten can be found on the signs. The street is filled with mixed fragrance, and many service staff are standing at the door to solicit customers. They said one after another: "Boss, come here to eat, it tastes so good."

Liang Yong chose a food stall that looked higher-end. When eating, everyone was unwilling to sit in the house. They casually placed a few tables and benches on the street. Everyone sat around them and had a lot of fun. The atmosphere was indeed different from a five-star hotel, but each of them had their own favorites. Liang Yong, the fat boss, liked to have a date for three friends and drink at a food stall like this, and then drove a BMW car back to the wide room with a bunch of braised snails and hot lobsters.

After several people sat down at the food stall, Liang Yong ordered the dishes. He pushed his glasses and said, "Come and stir-fry snails with pickled peppers. It's a little spicy, and a little spicy. Then two braised pork platters, stir-fry two vegetarian dishes, and a box of beer."

Hou Weidong Road "Liang Yong, if you want to drive, let's not drink beer bar."

Liang Yong held the beer glass and said, "We are usually on the same side, and it is difficult for us to get together to drink. Today we two drink a few more glasses and let your sister drive."

At this time, Hou Weidong had already concluded that Liang Yong must have asked him to do his job. His brother-in-law Liang Yong usually went straight to do his job. Today he was hesitant and turned around and was eating food stalls together to drink beer. There must be a major thing.

While drinking, Hou Weidong's eyes were attracted. At the other table, there were two men and women. They looked very close, and the woman was holding the man's arm. The man was Liu Kun, a college roommate. Although it was winter, he was still wearing a suit and looked elegant. One of his hands was also touching the woman's waist intentionally or unintentionally.

When Hou Weidong saw the woman, he thought to himself: "Why did she get mixed up with Liu Kun again? People are divided into groups and birds of feathers are gathering together. This is true."
