Tong Che squinted his eyes. "Ah? What did you say? A new commercial district? "
His heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Mi Xaing 'er was brave and smart, but he didn't expect her to be so bold … She had just negotiated with the Provincial Governor to start a construction company, and the Provincial Government hadn't even given her a reply, but she was already planning her next step with confidence. She was about to start a construction project.
Tong Che shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Mi Xaing 'er, isn't this reform a little too big? Opening a new commercial district is a big deal. Let me think about it! "
He paused and continued, "But to be honest, your idea is pretty good. Let's discuss it again when we have the chance?"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "Brother Tong, since I want to start a business, I don't need to be high-profile. There's no need to be high-profile. The purpose is to make money. You're the leader in charge of business in the province. You should be able to see that the era of the cooperatives and supply and marketing cooperatives will be over soon. We need a new and prosperous business district in the future. This is imperative! "
She didn't hide anything and said directly, "We can work together … It's mutually beneficial! You want political achievements, and I want profits! We'll each take what we need! "
Mi Xaing 'er knew that there were too many people around, so it wasn't convenient to talk about it in detail. "Brother Tong, how about this? This is just a concept. As for the future operations … Let's arrange another time to have a good talk."
Tong Che nodded. "Okay!"
He then walked Mi Xaing 'er out of the meeting room and watched her and Chen Jiaxuan walk away.
Governor Ni turned to look at him. "Tong Che, are you close to Xiao Mi?"
"I guess so! We've known each other for many years! "
"Oh?"
"She's my sister's friend, and also my lover."
"Lover? She's married at such a young age? "
"Yes! She's a soldier's family! She's Commander Yun's daughter-in-law! " Tong Che didn't hide it … There was no need to hide it. "Governor Ni, in fact, if you want to know more about Mi Xaing 'er, there's someone who knows more about it than I do, and that's your Dahai. He knew about Mi Xaing' er before I did!"
"Oh?" Governor Ni raised his eyebrows. "There's such a thing?"
She had never heard her son mention it.
However, this was also very normal.
Ni Dahai made friends with people from all walks of life … and he had a lot of friends.
Governor Ni did not ask any more questions. When he returned home at night, he called his son to the living room. "Dahai, I want to talk to you!"
Ni Dahai replied respectfully, "Got it!"
She nestled into the sofa and sat beside her mother.
To be honest …
Compared to his mother, Ni Dahai was more respectful of his father. He didn't dare to joke around and sat up straight seriously. "Dad, if you have something to say, just say it."
Pan Mingzhu was knitting a sweater at the side. She looked up and was puzzled … Under normal circumstances, her husband would go straight to the study after dinner. He rarely talked to his son in such a formal manner. "Old Ni, what's wrong? Did something happen? "
Governor Ni glared at her. "Don't interrupt."
Pan Mingzhu curled her lips silently … Tsk! What's the big deal?
Governor Ni picked up the teacup in front of her and gently took a sip. She crossed her legs and did not look directly at her son. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. "Dahai, you're not young anymore. Shouldn't you do something serious?"
Ni Dahai muttered softly, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Are you going to fire at me again? "
"Be serious!" Governor Ni raised his voice. "Don't try to smooth talk with me! You've been spoiled by your mother! "
Pan Mingzhu was about to interrupt. "How am I spoiling my son?"
But when she saw her husband's expression … she swallowed her words.
She was a smart person and a leader. She knew how to "change the rudder according to the situation". She immediately supported her husband and glared at her son. "Let your dad finish."
Governor Ni said indifferently, "I saw the director of the Land Bureau today. He said he wanted to send you to Hunnan District for half a month. You found all kinds of excuses not to go? Is that true? "
Ni Dahai smiled embarrassedly. "This Director Liu! Huh? He even went to your place to complain about me? Really! Isn't it just surveying the land? Can't anyone go? Why did he have to send me? I don't want to go to Hunnan District. That place is a rural area … "
Governor Ni interrupted him sharply. "So what if it's a rural area? It's your job to go to the rural area. Why are you being so picky? What's wrong with you? Serving the people … regardless of status! Why? Don't talk about surveying. Even if you're asked to pick up feces, you should have no complaints! This is what a responsible proletarian successor should be like! "
Ni Dahai pursed his lips.
Governor Ni continued to lecture him. "Why? You're still not convinced? What's with that expression? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? It's not like you haven't stayed in the rural area before. Why can't you do it now? Dahai, let me tell you, I don't care if you have a girlfriend. You're almost 30 years old. I don't need to teach you how to behave. "
"…"
"A man should be independent at 30. What kind of career do you have? You only know how to chase after girls all day long. What kind of ability is that? "
Chase after girls?
Ni Dahai understood quickly. He turned to look at his mother. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were like daggers.
Pan Mingzhu couldn't stay calm … She might as well confess. "Why are you glaring at me? You're right. I learned how to chase after Tian Xiner from your dad! You're the only son in our family. Of course we have to worry about your marriage! "
Ni Dahai dragged his voice. "What's there to worry about? Didn't I tell you? She hasn't married … "
Governor Ni interrupted him. "Listen to me first! Dahai, let's talk calmly. You tell me … is it suitable for you to be with that Tian Xiner? She still doesn't have a job, right? Ever since she came to the city, she's been fed by Tong Che, right? Even if you marry her, what do you plan to do with her? Put her on a board and worship her? Let me and your mom take care of her? "
"I can do it myself …"
"You can do what? What ability do you have to take care of your own wife? You're just a small clerk in the Land Bureau. You're drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office every day. If you don't do anything proper, how can you have a successful career? Besides, don't think that the restaurant can support you for the rest of your life. It's just a 'big group'. It's an unpopular industry. If the policy changes in the future, you'll have to withdraw immediately! "
Ni Dahai didn't want to be stubborn with his father. Even if he was stubborn, he wouldn't be able to say anything. He simply pouted and didn't say anything.
Governor Ni pointed at him. "Look at you. You're 28 years old, but you're still throwing a tantrum at me like a child! I get angry whenever I see you. Don't say anything else. Go to Hunnan tomorrow and work hard! "
Pan Mingzhu knew that this was what her husband meant by 'luring the tiger away from the mountain'. He wanted to separate her son and Xiao Tian Xin to calm down for a while.
Of course, she was very supportive. She patted Ni Dahai's leg. "Son, listen to your dad! Parents' love is the most selfless. No matter what we do, we do it for the good of our child! Do you understand? "
Ni Dahai didn't say anything. He got up and was about to leave.
Governor Ni raised his voice to stop him. "Wait, let me ask you again … Do you know Mi Xaing 'er? What kind of person is she? Can you give me a brief introduction? "
Huh?
Ni Dahai raised his eyebrows in puzzlement. "Why do you want to know about her?"
"Just leave it alone!"
Leave it alone?
Ni Dahai got excited. "You're a governor. There must be a reason why you're asking about a little girl for no reason! Dad, let me tell you the truth. Mi Xaing 'er is a good friend of mine. If you want to get information about her from me, you want me to betray our revolutionary friendship … I can't do that! "
"Nonsense!"
Governor Ni grabbed the newspaper on the table and threw it at his son. "What revolutionary friendship? Who asked you to throw stinky words at me?"
Ni Dahai jumped up and ran upstairs …
Pan Mingzhu watched her son's back disappear around the corner of the stairs. Then she turned to her husband. "What's the matter? Why are you so angry? What if you hit our son? "
Governor Ni was so angry that he knocked on the sofa with his hand. "So what if I hit him? It's just a few pieces of lousy newspaper! Can it even hurt his flesh? "
"I think you're a little grumpy today." Pan Mingzhu stood up and walked to her husband's side. She lowered her voice and asked, "Did something go wrong at work? What's up with that Mi Xaing 'er? "
Governor Ni narrowed his eyes. "I've been through a lot my whole life, and today I almost failed miserably! That Mi Xaing 'er is only 20 years old. She speaks methodically and aggressively. There was a moment in the meeting room this morning when I suddenly felt that I couldn't handle her! "
He sighed softly. "Then I thought about it again. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Mi Xaing 'er is a very powerful person. Since she's friends with Tian Xiner, that girl surnamed Tian is probably not easy to deal with. I'd better listen to you and ask Dahai to stay away from her!"
Pan Mingzhu was confused for a moment. "What's wrong with you?"
Governor Ni briefly explained the matter. "I'm worried now. I want to bring in this foreign investment, but I'm also afraid that I'll be involved if the policy changes in the future!"
He had been in the political scene for many years, so of course he knew the ways of an official.
