After dinner, Li Xin and the others left Levis's house. Levis calmly sent the three of them to the door and walked back after a simple goodbye. Looking at the premier's aged figure and demeanor, Li Xin couldn't help but admire him in his heart. A person who could become the premier under Vézé and survive the attacks of Ruan Xihao and the other old guys was indeed not someone ordinary people could compare to.
"Li, we'll be leaving first." Pang Congcong, who was about to get into the car, said to Li Xin.
Li Xin's first thought was to thank Pang Congcong, but he changed his mind and said, "Sister Pang, how about a ride with you?"
Pang Congcong didn't refuse. Wu Yuanjia went straight to the front passenger seat, and Li Xin got into Pang Congcong's car.
He asked his driver to follow Pang Congcong's car, and Li Xin also got into Pang Congcong's car. After closing the car door, Li Xin asked, "Sister Pang, can you please explain what you just said a little more clearly?"
After the car started, Pang Congcong said with a mischievous smile, "The reason why the Commander in Chief wants to hire the Japanese is that, in his opinion, it's cheaper to hire the Japanese. Some people are interested in the money and think that the money is more important. It's normal for people to have different opinions. You're the one who's going to the Standing Committee, so you're probably asking the wrong person for this kind of thing. "
Li Xin laughed dryly to fit the situation. After being ridiculed by Pang Congcong, he couldn't find any other way to deal with it other than laughing dryly.
"It's still the same account, but the way it's calculated is different." Pang Congcong, who was experienced in financial work, put away her smile and said frankly, "When you intervene in this matter, you have to have your own way of calculating the accounts. This is no longer the early years. Now people have more and more ideas, and there are more and more ways to calculate the accounts. The premier has already retired, and I'm also counting the days until I retire. Little brother, it's still a long time before you retire. You can figure out how to calculate it yourself. I don't have to worry about it. "
There was a deep meaning behind these words. More importantly, these words made Li Xin feel that the recent events had been effectively linked. Just as he was about to ask Pang Congcong again, Pang Congcong said to the driver, "Stop the car."
As soon as the car stopped, Pang Congcong said to Li Xin, "Okay. I think I've said everything I need to say. You can get out of the car now. "
After being kicked out of the car, Li Xin watched Pang Congcong's car drive away. He wasn't angry in his heart. He just felt that this big sister really deserved her reputation for being able to become a deputy national cadre as a woman.
Sitting in his car, Li Xin couldn't help but recall the meeting. After explaining to Li Xin that someone wanted to send his child to North America, Levis didn't talk about it anymore. Pang Congcong's words seemed to have nothing to do with this, but if you thought about it carefully, you would know that what she said was the same as what Levis said.
Sitting back in his car, Li Xin felt that these old brothers were really tolerant. When they were in power in the past, they were simply a model of pretending to be confused. Push what should be pushed, give way what should be given way. It looked like he was going with the flow. Now he could see them clearly because they no longer had to actually participate in government affairs, and they didn't have to care so much about what they said. This group of people had always been clear in their hearts.
As the car drove, a question arose in Li Xin's mind. Why would these two brothers and sisters take care of Li Xin at this time? The Levis family was full of talents. Not to mention that Levis was the uncle of Vézé's three children. The Pasha Li Weiren of the Osman Empire, and Li Shaokang of the motorized infantry, who was recognized as having a great future, were all the faces of the Li family.
As for Pang Congcong, she didn't have many children, but Pang Congcong's lover, Wu Yuanjia's younger brother, Wu Sanjia, was also a very promising talent in the North American theater of operations. Logically speaking, the two brothers and sisters had no need to ask for anything in return from Li Xin. Was there something that Li Xin didn't know?
Li Xin was a little confused. Pang Congcong and Wu Yuanjia didn't talk on the way home. After returning home, Wu Yuanjia said, "I don't know if Li Xin understands."
"If he doesn't understand, he has to step down." Pang Congcong looked indifferent. After being an official for so long, she had seen so many people up and down. There were three ministers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the first two were transitional types. Even if they had made contributions, when Military Governor Vaize looked down on them, they had to step down.
"Why do you and the Prime Minister want to protect him?" Wu Yuanjia still didn't quite understand. There were factions in the military, but the relationships in the military were relatively simple. Those who could fight and work would go up, and those who couldn't fight and work would get lost. Even if they could fight and work, if they couldn't teach a good successor, they would have to get lost. Even if they did well in all three aspects, they would have to bow down and step down when they reached the age. Compared with such a simple and straightforward mandatory requirement, the relationships in the government were much more complicated. Wu Yuanjia couldn't figure it out.
Pang Congcong usually didn't want to discuss this too much with her husband, but today, her mood was a little complicated. She couldn't help but say, "The commander-in-chief's intention to move the capital can't be changed. Now, most of our old brothers are unwilling to go to Beijing. Those young people can't be relied on, so we have to count on some of our old brothers. At this time, don't let Li Xin stand on the wrong side. If we really need to ask him for help in the future, it will be much easier to talk to him. "
"Young people have to be obedient, right?" Wu Yuanjia was obviously not as mature as his wife in politics. As soon as he opened his mouth, he began to say stupid things.
Pang Congcong rolled her eyes at Wu Yuanjia. "Do you think these young people should listen to the commander-in-chief or us?"
"Uh …" Wu Yuanjia kind of understood what Pang Congcong was referring to.
"And once the capital is moved, these young people will be far away in Beijing. The commander-in-chief can deal with them however he wants. Will they have a good end if they don't listen? According to the current retirement time and the time of the capital move, can't you see it? "Pang Congcong reminded her husband one last time.
Wu Yuanjia was stunned. He really had never connected the two together. Thinking about it carefully, the capital move was probably when the old brothers basically retired. When Vézé arrived in Beijing with a brand-new central team, the old era that began with Yongan was really divided in two with the capital move. A group of old brothers who had made a name for themselves enjoyed the rest of their lives in the colorful world of Nanjing, while the Military Governor Vaize continued to lead the younger generation forward.
This kind of imagination almost made Wu Yuanjia shiver. He thought for a while and couldn't help but say anxiously, "Then let's just move to Beijing now!"
"What do you mean by moving to Beijing? Going to Beijing to take advantage of your seniority? Interfering with the central government's decision under the eyes of the commander-in-chief? Do you have nothing better to do? " Pang Congcong was very unhappy to expose her husband's careful thoughts and also pointed out the dangers of doing so.
Wu Yuanjia finally understood a little why Levis and Pang Congcong would join forces to have such a meal with Li Xin. They told Li Xin the difficulties he faced and told Li Xin about the current political situation. Wu Yuanjia still didn't feel much about the recent political situation. He asked, "Will the recent matter get bigger?"
"The State Council is in charge of internal affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of foreign affairs. I don't know what Li Xin is thinking. Anyway, he started this matter. After he started it, he will do it to the end. Moreover, the relationship between the State Council and the provinces is not very good. Now some people in the provinces are desperate and want to do something about the money. The Commander in Chief has endured for so long. Do you really think the Commander in Chief can't touch these old brothers? It's just that the Commander in Chief feels that it's best for the old brothers to have a good ending. Don't hurt everyone's face. If anyone really thinks that the Commander in Chief is easy to bully, then they are wrong. " After Pang Congcong finished speaking, she felt quite unhappy. This kind of thing should actually be explained to her by Wu Yuanjia, not by a woman explaining to a man.
It was not easy to make Wu Yuanjia understand something he didn't understand in a short time. After frowning and thinking for a while, Wu Yuanjia said, "These young people are really lucky. After they arrive in Beijing, they will soar to the sky."
Pang Congcong rolled her eyes helplessly, even though she knew that it was meaningless to do so. Because she was facing Wu Yuanjia, she probably wouldn't let him see her rolling her eyes. But Pang Congcong couldn't help it. Just now, she had predicted that after the Military Governor Vaize arrived in Beijing, he would carry out a major reorganization of the officialdom. He was polite to his old brothers because they were the founding heroes of the country, and he had gotten rid of those who were really trash. The Commander in Chief tolerated the remaining group of people who had made some mistakes.
After arriving in Beijing, the Commander in Chief did not have this obligation to the younger generation, so he had no reason to let some things go. Young people were lucky? Only a guy like Wu Yuanjia could think of such a saying. Many young people would probably have to pay the price for what their superiors and seniors had done. No matter how Wu Yuanjia looked at it, Pang Congcong really couldn't see how the young people were lucky.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had to leave some backup plans for her family at a critical moment, Pang Congcong wouldn't have bothered to remind Li Xin. If Li Xin looked at the problem from the perspective of Wu Yuanjia, he would probably interpret the sincere advice as "don't get into trouble." And what Pang Congcong and Levis wanted to tell Li Xin was actually only one sentence: "No matter what the people outside think or do. We must always stand on the same side as the Military Governor Vaize! "
She turned her head and rolled her eyes to vent her dissatisfaction. Pang Congcong decided that she would never discuss political issues with her lover, Wu Yuanjia again. This kind of discussion was really too hurtful.
She was going to retire soon, so it was more important for her to enjoy the little time she had left. She would take a boat to sail on the sea, climb a mountain that she had never been to before, and enjoy the scenery while basking in the sun next to the picturesque scenery while drinking a few cups of wine. Pang Congcong really appreciated the words of the Military Governor Vaize: "Watching the night cherry blossoms in spring, gazing at the stars in summer, admiring the full moon in autumn, and enjoying the first snow in winter. In such a situation, how can wine taste bad? If you still feel that it tastes bad, then it proves that there is something wrong with you. One day, you will understand the taste of wine. When that time comes, let us taste good wine together! "
