The unobtrusive Passat slowly entered Longhu Park, followed the smooth and winding mountain road, and stopped in front of Longhu Park Building 21.The area around the single-family house has been transformed into a small courtyard, reducing the area of the lawn and turning it into a few small vegetable patches, with withered grape trellises next to the vegetable patch, and neatly manicured potted plants at the front entrance, and the soft lights in the courtyard are sprinkled, and the night in front of Building 21 is leisurely.Wang Xiaoyao got out of the car, carrying the sauce elbow that he had just bought on the road as a snack dish, Zhang Xiaohua, who came with him, opened Wang Xiaoyao's luggage and took out the gift that Wang Xiaoyao prepared for Xie Lao, which was a square sandalwood box, square and square, and the weight was not light, in Wang Xiaoyao's luggage, this was probably the only thing that had weight.The two walked to the gate of the villa one after the other, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes greeted him, shook hands with the two, said welcome, and smiled eagerly, but with a touch of reluctance that could not be concealed, Wang Xiaoyao didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie has been living at home recently?"
”"No, there is something temporary, let's talk to the old man."
Xie Dong shook his head, he is Xie Kun's eldest son, now the director of a bureau of the Zhongzhou Ministry of Officials, the deputy governor level two years ago, is not too conspicuous in the deep-water yamen of the Ministry of Officials, but it is a real power, this year's election, Xie Dong is very likely to become a vice minister, the ranking may be low, but it can also escort the interests of the Southeast Group, to be able to take this position, which fully explains Xie Dong's ability and his status in the Southeast Group.Wang Qinglei is the biggest mistake of the Southeast Group in the past 20 years, but more is Xie Dong, who is trusted and has never lived up to this trust, if he can become the deputy minister of the Ministry of Officials this year, then he is one of the most important representatives of the Southeast Group in the Ministry of Officials, and the future can be described as a bright future.At this time, Wang Xiaoyao and such a chaotic minister and thief came to his house, not to mention whether this would affect the opinion of the bigwigs of the Southeast Group on him, but this move, Xie Dong would not welcome them, and he appeared here at this time, maybe he was doing his own old man's work."
Xie Lao can't see me?"
Wang Xiaoyao asked with a smile.Of course, the old man was in good spirits and made a few appetizers himself.Xiaoyao, Minister Zhang, please come in, I still have a meeting, so I won't accompany you. ”The corners of Xie Dong's mouth twitched, and his smiling face looked quite like that, but his tone was lukewarm, with a touch of vigilance, keeping his distance.Wang Xiaoyao snorted, and the two sides passed by.Wang Xiaoyao walked into the villa, and suddenly said softly: "Brother Xie has the ability to work, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shrewd and capable."
But the mind-set pattern is inevitably worse, if it was ten years ago, it would be easy to say, but now it is still the case, Xie Lao will inevitably be disappointed.Such a person is very suitable in the ministry, but on the main side, being a feudal official, he is a little unqualified, and Brother Xie is the best as a deputy.Holding a proper position, I am afraid that I will mislead others and myself. ”The corners of Zhang Xiaohua's mouth moved, but she didn't speak."
Hmph, you kid, did you say this on purpose to me, an old man?"
In the cafeteria, an old but hearty voice rang out.Wang Xiaoyao had a hippie smile: "Xie Lao is really deaf and clear-sighted, and he has no intention of saying anything, just listen to it."
Brother Xie was cold at the door just now, since I am not welcome, then I must take revenge on the eye medicine. ”"Get in."
In the restaurant, the old man laughed and scolded.Wang Xiaoyao glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and walked into the villa restaurant.Wine glasses have been placed on the clean and tidy marble tabletop, the special Moutai has just been opened, a stack of peanuts, fried cabbage, fried meat with green peppers and a cold tomato, the old man who has been a little rickety is holding the wine glass, drinking wine unhurriedly, and seems to have been waiting for a long time.Seeing Wang Xiaoyao coming in, Xie Kun, who had already grown old age spots on his face, tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Your current position is obviously problematic, how dare that kid get too close to you?"
He has long been dissatisfied with some of Wu Yue's problems in the past few years, and he is not optimistic about Wang Qinglei, you come to the door now, it is already good to be able to give you a smile, do you still want him to have a good time with you?
”He put the wine glass in his hand on the table and sighed lightly: "But what you said makes sense, my son, as a deputy, is more than enough."
It's true that there are still shortcomings in being in charge, being able to control the details, in terms of the big picture...", he shook his head."
The land of Youzhou and a city, there is also a succession to the sky, your old man's residual power is still there, and Brother Xie's future is unhindered."
Wang Xiaoyao said quietly.Xie Kun has three children in his life, two boys and one girl, the daughter is now the dean of a college in Huaqing University, and has an idle post in the Ministry of Teaching Jade, a famous professor, peach and plum all over the world, the second son has no intention of career, doing business in the southeast, no great wisdom, can Xie Lao's status in the southeast group, coupled with the care of the Beihai Wang family, is enough to make Xie Lao's young son become a rich man, in this situation, his eldest son Xie Dong is his successor in righteousness and wisdom, but as Wang Xiaoyao said, Xie Dong's work ability is extremely strong, But the pattern is slightly lower, and it is difficult to stand alone in the true sense.This flaw has been exposed little by little as early as Xie Dong at the grassroots level, although he has made a lot of progress over the years, but his personality is like this, it is too easy to delve into the details more seriously, how easy is it to change it?
So Xie Kun got him to the Ministry of Officials, this is obviously intended to let Xie Dong go another way, if this year goes well, Xie Dong will solve the rank of governor in the position of deputy of the Ministry of Officials, and transfer him to the Ministry of Supervision after five years, the eldest son is indeed flawed to be in charge alone, but if he is a deputy, he is not picky at all, enough to become anyone's right-hand man, as Xie Kun's successor in Zhengzhi, Xie Kun must push the eldest son into the parliament.There are only two places in the major provinces and departments of Central Continent that can accommodate the deputy posts of parliamentarians, the first is the first deputy post of the Ministry of Supervision, and the second is the first deputy post of the National Assembly.Xie Kun is a former director who controls the Ministry of Supervision, and the Ministry of Supervision has always been the traditional area of the Southeast Group, so becoming the No. 1 deputy minister of the Ministry of Supervision and successfully entering the parliament is Xie Dong's future direction.Xie Kun glanced at Wang Xiaoyao and didn't say anything, just said simply: "Sit down." ”Wang Xiaoyao handed the elbow in his hand to Zhang Xiaohua, and when the other party went to the kitchen with the cooked food, he opened the gift he brought this time, and in the square box was a piece of superb Hetian jade, with a warm and soft color."
Old Xie, I know that you like to make prints, what do you think of this material?
I finally got it, I can make about five seals, I want three, and the remaining two are considered as fees, how about it?
”Wang Xiaoyao said with a smile.Xie Kun was stunned, looking at the best Hetian jade in front of him, his eyes were soft, and he was a little happy, he carefully took the box over, played with the jade inside, and said for a long time: "Three seals, who are you going to give them to?"
”"Naturally, I wanted a piece.Well, Chu Jiangchao of Huating, you should know him, he is the same as you, he is also very fond of all kinds of seals, I plan to give him one piece, and the third one to Qinglei. ”Wang Xiaoyao replied.Xie Kun played with the jade, smiling rather than smiling.He was the former director of Zhongzhou, the Minister of Supervision, and before becoming a director, when he was a member of the council, he was the minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it is precisely because of this that he can have such a strong influence in the Southeast Group, so strong that even if he has retired for more than ten years, close to Yu Wei, he can push his son who is not too good into the council.The meaning of giving a seal in his capacity is not idle.There is no doubt that Wang Xiaoyao is tantamount to telling him that he needs his own support.The sound of Zhang Xiaohua cutting cooked food came from the kitchen.Xie Kun was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Do you want to meddle in Wu Yue's affairs?"
”"Lao Ji is a little anxious."
Wang Xiaoyao said slowly: "Wu Yue can't be messed up. ”"It's just a mess for you and Wang Qinglei."
Xie Kun said quietly: "There are a lot of voices inside now, although the statements are different, but they are generally the same, you hope that I will support you, but how can I explain to them?"
The article communicated with me yesterday, and he hoped that Liu Xiangyang would go to Wuyue, and I had no objection. ”Wang Xiaoyao's pupils shrank slightly.He is no stranger to the name Liu Xiangyang, the deputy governor-level inspector of the Ministry of Supervision, the level is very high, but there is no specific position in the Ministry of Supervision, it seems that it is just an idle position, but in fact, in the special yamen of the Ministry of Supervision, this kind of inspector with a level but no obvious real power is the real main force of supervision, Liu Xiangyang is Ji Wenwen's henchman, and he is also a tiger beside him, experienced and courageous, put him in Wu Yue, Ji Wenwen is obviously planning to fight with Wang Qinglei in the last period of the election, and the real life and death are real."
I know this man."
Wang Xiaoyao smiled: "But I think it's more appropriate to put him in Huating." ”Liu Xiangyang definitely can't go to Wu Yue, with his ability, and he is ordered to do things, it can almost be said that he is unscrupulous, and the whole Wu Yue is panicked, Wang Qinglei wants to go further, and the resistance is great."
Huating is peaceful, what can I do if I go?"
Xie Kun smiled and ate a peanut.Wang Xiaoyao gritted his teeth lightly.He was seeking Xie Kun's support.And Xie Kun is now forcing his hole cards.The bottom line for him and Wang Qinglei is to keep Wu Yue.For this reason, they will give up Yue Yuguang's team in Huating, transfer the core force to Wu Yue to stabilize the situation, and cede the interests of Huating to the Southeast Group.But this interest obviously can't make Xie Kun support Wang Xiaoyao.The purpose of putting Liu Xiangyang in Wu Yue is to let him make trouble and make Wang Qinglei anxious, which in itself is beneficial to the Southeast Group, and if he can take the opportunity to take back part of Wu Yue's authority, it will be even more of a huge benefit.And transfer Chu Jiangchao to Wu Yue and let Liu Xiangyang go to Huating, the Southeast Group also has a harvest, but what is gained is only the position of the Ministry of Supervision.Liu Xiangyang wants to make trouble, but where are the conditions and chips?
What Xie Kun is asking Wang Xiaoyao for now is this bargaining chip.This is a clearly marked trade.Wang Xiaoyao wanted Wu Yue.The Southeast Group can give it, but what they want to gain is not Wang Xiaoyao's little interest in Huating.After they gave Wu Yue, their strategic goal was the entire Huating!
Exchanging Huating for Wu Yue, such a deal is fair, and both parties can accept it.Wang Xiaoyao may not be able to directly hand over the entire Huating to the Southeast Group, but the chips he gave must let the Southeast Group see that they have hope of winning Huating.Wang Xiaoyao has been operating in Huating for many years, and he must have such a bargaining chip.The key is whether he dares to give it.Huating can't say which group's backyard is now, and the power of the major groups has penetrated.But the current speaker of Huating is one of the leaders of the Prince Group, and the influence of the Prince Group in Huating occupies a great advantage.Wang Xiaoyao's chips are undoubtedly tantamount to attacking everything in Huating of the Prince Group.Coincidentally, after he and Wang Qinglei betrayed Emperor Bingshan, it was the prince group who joined.
