After three busy days, Hu Jianjun invited Xiao Zheng out for a meal. The main point was to discuss Yu Bo's matter.
With Han Keren accompanying him, Hu Jianjun had wanted to meet Old Lin's legendary sister-in-law. Unfortunately, Old Lin didn't give him face and would rather eat at home than go out.
"Can't help it. Your sister-in-law is a cold, arrogant, and domineering person. Not just you, even when I call her out for a meal, she often doesn't give me face. "Xiao Zheng smiled.
Hu Jianjun regretfully said, "Although I saw her at an event, it was only a glimpse. I didn't have time to appreciate it. Ah, she really has created an immortal legend in Sijiu City. "
Just like how many people sometimes smoked and sometimes didn't. In the end, they would either become addicted to it or offend people silently.
Not like Old Lin, who refused all invitations. Over time, everyone got used to it. They didn't think Old Lin was pretending to be cold. He was really cold.
Ending the pointless small talk, Han Keren took the initiative to pour wine for her savior, Xiao Zheng. She said softly, "Big brother saved my life last time. I never found the chance to thank you."
Saying so, she raised her wine cup and smiled. "You can't not drink."
Xiao Zheng smiled. "A beauty's toast. If I don't drink, wouldn't I be disrespecting you?"
He drained it in one gulp and enjoyed eating and drinking with the young couple.
Xiao Zheng and Hu Jianjun were birds of a feather, whether it was the topic of discussion or the prospects for the future. They always had a lot of common views.
This was what Xiao Zheng admired about Hu Jianjun. He wasn't old, but his thoughts were mature. Sometimes, even Xiao Zheng would be surprised by the opinions he brought up.
No matter what Yuchi Gong was like, at least Hu Jianjun was like father, like son.
"Yu Bo has already been punished." After three rounds of wine, Hu Jianjun finally got to the point. "The Yuchi family hasn't made any obvious moves. I don't know if they're planning to give up."
"Give up?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, intrigued. "Then the Yuchi family will lose a lot of face."
"Not necessarily." Hu Jianjun pursed his lips. "From what my father said, Yu Bo's hands have indeed been dirty in recent years. Maybe the Yuchi family wanted to use him as cannon fodder. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng asked curiously, "In other words, regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, Yu Bo will not have a good ending?"
"It's not impossible." Hu Jianjun smiled. "Boss, your counterattack this time has pushed Yu Bo to the bottom of the valley. On the other hand, even if he can successfully trick you, you will not be able to do so. How can our Hu Clan take this lying down? At that time, the Yuchi family will still push Yu Bo out. "
From the looks of it, Yu Bo was really just cannon fodder.
Through Yu Bo's incident, Xiao Zheng had a basic understanding of the cruel competition between the two wealthy families. Even such a high-ranking official could become cannon fodder. One could imagine how much this life-and-death political competition had accumulated.
Just as Elder Lin had said, he really should be more cautious and careful.
After all, the higher one's position was, the more terrifying the benefits involved would be. At that time, no one would care about the so-called righteousness.
Chivalry was either young and ignorant, or it was used to establish a glorious image. In other situations and fields, who cared?
In the following conversation, Xiao Zheng told Hu Jianjun about his intention to support Bureau Chief Zhang. The latter expressed his approval and support.
"When Grandpa and Father were discussing this issue, they also considered who would take over," Hu Jianjun explained. "If Boss is not interested, there may be a lot of competition, and the final winner is still unknown. Now, if Boss says it, we will definitely support it, and the Yuchi family has no reason to object. After all, he still owes you a favor. "
"Then there's no problem?" Xiao Zheng said tactfully.
"Not necessarily," Hu Jianjun said. "In the end, it still depends on whether Bureau Chief Zhang is the most suitable candidate. Right now, I can only say that the possibility of Bureau Chief Zhang taking over is the highest. "
"Things in the officialdom change in an instant, no one can guarantee it," Hu Jianjun said, pursing his lips.
Only at the grassroots level did Hu Jianjun know how complicated the officialdom was. Not to mention a county, a city, even a town under it had an unusually fierce internal struggle. It was far beyond Hu Jianjun's imagination.
In Sijiu City, he was too well protected by the Hu family, and always used a simple and violent way to solve problems. But at the grassroots level, when all the resources and connections were strictly controlled, he then knew the dangers of the officialdom struggle.
A light punishment would be losing his official position, and a heavy punishment would be directly sent to prison. That was why people said that being an official in Hua Xia was definitely a high-risk job. And it was the number one high-risk job.
"Boss. I heard from Grandpa that there are undercurrents surging in the business world, and a big battle is imminent, "Hu Jianjun said with great interest.
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Elder Hu is right, I do have a lot of pressure on my side."
"Boss, I believe you," Hu Jianjun said with a serious face. "Defeat Lin Laoyao, and you will be a giant in Hua Xia's business world. Go straight to the top. "
Defeat?
At Lin Laoyao's position, how could he be defeated so easily?
Even if there was a chance to gain an advantage in the future, it would be a road full of thorns and difficulties. How could it be defeated?
The so-called 'defeat' in the business world was mostly just gaining an advantage. It was just like when the three internet giants had fought, and Giant Peak Network had been left in the dust. That was probably how Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao had defeated Hu Yishan.
But even now, Giant Peak Network was still in a relatively strong position. It was just that the internal shareholders had been purged. It was no longer Hu Yishan's Giant Peak Network.
Xiao Zheng chatted with the couple for a while. Only when he was full did he stand up and say goodbye.
Recently, he had been too busy. Even if he did occasionally sneak out to eat, his calls would never stop.
This was the difficulty of being a leader. Even if he was only in charge of general operations, he still had an overwhelming amount of work to do.
Even with Blue Heart helping him, he was still exhausted to the point of collapse.
Just as he got into the car, his phone rang.
It was none other than Blue Heart.
"Hello, Chief Lan." Xiao Zheng was a bit drunk, and his tone was very flippant. "You're calling me so late at night? It can't be about work again, right?"
"I'm already home …" Blue Heart's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone. "I just finished making a plate of dumplings, but I don't have much of an appetite."
Xiao Zheng's heart softened.
Recently, he had been too busy, and he hadn't had the chance to talk to Blue Heart in private. Especially when it came to work, and he hadn't had the chance to talk to her alone. This was probably something that would make lovers feel uncomfortable.
"Then should I come over and eat with you?" Xiao Zheng was very full, but it was just a plate of dumplings. He could still eat.
"It won't be too troublesome, right?" Blue Heart said considerately.
"If you say that, then I'll have to severely punish you in a bit." Xiao Zheng smiled playfully, and Blue Heart's snow-white and soft body appeared in his mind.
