Qiao Pengfei smiled and said, "I thought she forgot grandpa."

Zhang Daguanren said: "It's not kind to be a brother."

Qiao Pengfei sighed and said, "You don't know. Grandpa cares about her all day long. Since she went to Binhai, she rarely calls back."

Of course, Zhang Yang knew the reason, but he could not say to Qiao Pengfei. He sighed as Qiao Pengfei, "Aunt Meng's affairs are a blow to her, and she has to give her some time to accept it."

Qiao Pengfei nodded and said while driving: "The training at our Party School has ended, and we will go to Chunyang to take office soon."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Welcome Deputy County Magistrate Qiao to my hometown to carry out his work."

Qiao Pengfei smiled and said, "Don't come with me for this. If I go to Chunyang, my eyes will be dark. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you have to help me solve it."

Zhang Yang said: "I don't need me. Du Tianye is the secretary of the municipal party committee of Jiangcheng. With him taking care of you, you will definitely be the green light in your career."

Qiao Pengfei said: "I aim to see if my green light can catch up with you."

Zhang Yang said: "Don't let it go, don't stare at me, don't set your goals too low. I have experienced many ups and downs in my career. I have paid countless blood and sweat until now. It's too tiring to be an official like me."

Qiao Pengfei laughed: "Zhang Yang, I heard you have been in trouble again recently."

Zhang Yang said: "I have always been unlucky. Even if I don't cause trouble, trouble will come to me."

"Don't say that you are so innocent, but any society is shooting the first bird. The better your grades are, the more people you want to hit you."

Zhang Yang said: "My political achievements are the level of elementary school students. The problem is that there are many poorer grades than me in politics, so I seem to be outstanding."

Qiao Pengfei laughed happily.

Zhang Yang said: "It seems that you are in a good mood. Is it because you want to be the deputy county magistrate?"

Qiao Pengfei said: "I remember that I was about to start a new job. I still felt a little excited and expectant in my heart."

Zhang Daguanren said: "Everything is like this. At the beginning, it is full of enthusiasm, but as you spend time in the circle, your heart becomes more and more tired. When you see through it in the end, you will feel bored."

Qiao Pengfei said: "I understand. It's like when you meet a beautiful woman, the more you look at her, the more you love her, but when you really sleep, the longer you sleep, the less fresh you feel."

Zhang Daren spat: "Vulgar, Qiao Pengfei, Qiao Pengfei, when did you become so vulgar? Since you have fallen asleep, you have to be responsible. Since you have fallen asleep, you have to be firm in your beliefs and have a good sleep for the rest of your life."

Qiao Pengfei said: "I'm using an example. Are you really going to sleep with whom?"

Zhang Daguanren said: "I will definitely fall into depravity when I am with you."

Qiao Pengfei said: "You are definitely the kind of person who becomes more and more depraved. If you really stop you from letting you fall, you are afraid you won't be able to survive for a day."

The two laughed loudly in the same voice.

Old Qiao smiled a little more than in the past. However, there was a hint of far-fetchedness in his smile, and the smile was out of politeness. But there were indeed not many things that made him happy recently.

Zhang Yang handed the clothes Qiao Mengyuan asked him to Mr. Qiao. Mr. Qiao looked at it, put it aside without trying it on, and whispered: "Beigang is not far from the capital."

Zhang Yang said: "It's not far away, it's only an hour to fly."

"Why do I feel very far?"

Zhang Yang smiled: "You old man misses your granddaughter. It will take only two days. You can go to Binhai with me and take a look at Mengyuan by the way."

Old Qiao said calmly: "The real problem is not distance." His heart is far away, Old Qiao truly feels that his granddaughter is getting farther and farther away from this home, and he is getting farther and farther away from himself.

Qiao Pengfei said: "Grandpa, Zhang Yang's proposal is good. You can go with me this time and accompany me to Chunyang to take office. By the way, let the uncles and uncles in Pinghai take care of me more."

Old Qiao glared at him and said, "If you go to Chunyang to take office, you can't mention my name. You are you. As an official, you must be a serious official. As a person, you must be a dignified person. Don't think about relying on any relationship. There is no shortcut in the career of officialdom."

Qiao Pengfei was taught a lesson by his grandfather, and nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa, I just said that, I was joking with you, but you took it seriously."

Old Qiao said: "If you don't live seriously in the world, it's a waste of life. What you young people like the most is to live a life and live a mediocre life, but you don't know that this is chronic suicide."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What Mr. Qiao taught me is that I am trying to live every day seriously now."

Mr. Qiao said: "How is Mengyuan working on your side?"

"I work hard, dedicated, and capable, and now I feel a sense of crisis."

Mr. Qiao said: "What kind of crisis do you have?"

Zhang Daguanren deliberately said with a bitter face: "She is so capable, I am worried that she will be more capable than the master. It won't take long to do so, and I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, will become hers."

Qiao Pengfei laughed loudly, and Old Qiao couldn't help but smile. Of course he knew Zhang Yang was joking, and sighed softly and said, "Mengyuan went to your place to do investment promotion, just to find a place to support me. I understand my granddaughter, she has no political ambitions."

Zhang Yang said: "Old Qiao, Mengyuan actually wants to come with me this time, but the bidding work in Fulong Port has just begun recently. She is responsible for this matter and she really can't leave."

Old Qiao nodded and said, "You don't need to explain for her, I understand in my heart."

Looking at Old Qiao's lost expression, Zhang Daguan Renxin couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. If Old Qiao knew that Old Qiao was not his granddaughter, he would not know how big a blow would be.

Mr. Qiao said: "You came here to celebrate Mr. Xue's birthday, right?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "This is one of the reasons, and... I have a Shibo who is sick, so I went to visit him."

Mr. Qiao did not ask in detail. Although He Changan once called the wind and rain in the business world, he had not yet reached the point where he attracted Mr. Qiao's attention.

Old Qiao said to Qiao Pengfei: "Call your uncle and tell him that Zhang Yang is here and have lunch together."

When Mr. Qiao said this, Mr. Zhang was quite flattered. He was a county-level cadre who was so respected by him in the Qiao family. The Qiao family loved him so much. The reason why Mr. Qiao was so good to Zhang Yang was not only because he had treated him for his illness, but also because Zhang Yang was still unyielding when the Qiao family encountered a crisis. His maintenance of the Qiao family and his care for Qiao Mengyuan won him appreciation and respect.

There is never a shortage of people who are competing for power in politics, but it is difficult to find a loyal and courageous person. Zhang Yang has a traditional chivalrous spirit. Mr. Qiao even thought countless times that if Zhang Yang was not engaged, he and Meng Yuan would be a pair made of heaven.

Qiao Zhenliang also rested today. The position of Minister of Agriculture seems to be much more idle than when he was in Pinghai. I remember that when he was the secretary of the provincial party committee in Pinghai, he almost never had a day to rest. After coming to the capital, Qiao Zhenliang found a long-lost sense of comfort. Of course, this feeling was based on the fact that he experienced the storm. The last political storm that broke out from his family made Qiao Zhenliang feel disheartened, and he even had the idea of ​​withdrawing from politics for a while.

Until this storm passed and everything settled, and he was appointed as the Minister of Agriculture. Qiao Zhenliang finally found the tranquility in his heart. He was happy to be comfortable and enjoy the tranquility, but not long after, the death of his wife broke the peace he had just obtained, and Qiao Zhenliang's heart churned again.

It is human nature to lose a person in some ways, but he wants to get it on the other hand. Qiao Zhenliang has regarded his marriage and family as a great tragedy. Because of this, his heart suddenly lost balance. This imbalance is reflected in his rekindling of enthusiasm for politics, and he desires political recognition more than before.

Mr. Qiao noticed his son's changes, but he thought it was a series of changes that made his son change. This change was not a bad thing for Qiao Zhenliang. The most obvious point was that in the past, his son would always ask him to discuss it first when encountering major events. However, now Qiao Zhenliang rarely talks about work with him. Maybe he can handle anything completely, maybe he thinks he is old.

Qiao Zhenliang's changes became more and more obvious after Meng Chuanmei's death. Old Qiao believed that his son was like a granddaughter, getting farther and farther away from him. Although he lived under the same roof every day, he could no longer find the feeling of the father and son in the past, and always felt that there seemed to be something between the two.

Mr. Qiao knew that he was old. No matter how glorious he had in the past, he began to grow old. When he was old, he would gradually lose his former ambitions. In his mind, family became more and more important. He longed for family affection, longed for children and grandchildren, and wanted his children to be by his side. Although he knew that his ideas were unrealistic, he still couldn't help thinking.

Qiao Zhenliang's expression is still gentle, but he has rarely seen the smile that has been hanging on his face almost always as before. He has always grasped his expression quite accurately.

"Zhang Yang is here!" Qiao Zhenliang shook hands with him with a smile. Zhang Yang did not find the expected sadness on Qiao Zhenliang's face. He saw a kind of indifference after experiencing great winds and waves.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Minister Qiao, I arrived yesterday. Today I came here to visit you and bring the clothes that Mengyuan asked me to bring to Mr. Qiao." At this point, Zhang Yang realized that Qiao Mengyuan brought something to Mr. Qiao, but nothing was given to Qiao Zhenliang. Is this her negligence or her resistance from the bottom of her heart?

Qiao Zhenliang said: "It's rare that you still think of us."

Zhang Yang said: "Minister Qiao is my mentor. Without you, there would be no me today."

Qiao Zhenliang smiled indifferently and said, "I dare not take it! I have never taught you anything."

Mr. Qiao said: "I just said that there are very few young people who value friendship as much as Zhang Yang."
