Chapter 1242 Undercurrent
Zhang Dongsheng smiled wryly, held the wine glass as a signal, took a sip, and said, "Brother, you don't know... I've seen a lot of people leaving tea to cool down. Besides, you don't know much about some things. Anyway, once my uncle is gone Yes, our family... oh~"
Du Fei took a sip of the wine and listened to Zhang Dongsheng's complaints, but he was very sober.
Zhang Dongsheng's words are half-truths and half-false.
Once Minister Xie is gone, their family will definitely be affected, but it is definitely not as evil as Zhang Dongsheng said.
But it also shows that Zhang Dongsheng has seen the future crisis, so he simply kept his posture at the lowest level from the beginning before the end of the mountain, and won Du Fei's sympathy.
Otherwise, when there is no way out in the future, going low and going small will definitely not work now.
Du Fei said: "Brother Zhang, I understand your worry, what can I do to help?"
A look of disappointment flashed in Zhang Dongsheng's eyes.
Du Fei went straight to the point, and the implication was to tell him not to go around in circles, and talk about things when he has something to say.
The implication is to tell him that we don't have that friendship, and if we want to make any demands, we have to come up with a bargaining chip.
Zhang Dongsheng is a sensible person, and he didn't think about empty-handed white wolf when he asked Du Fei.
Friendship belongs to friendship, and service belongs to service.
What's more, he and Du Fei really don't have much friendship.
Du Fei also quickly understood Zhang Dongsheng's appeal, which was to leave the capital and let him out.
This also makes sense.
Once his uncle is gone, it will be an eyesore for the two brothers to stay in the capital.
The so-called out of sight, out of mind, as long as they are far away, even if some people hold grudges, as long as they don't get hurt, there is a high probability that they will not be remembered.
As for why Du Fei was found, it is not difficult to understand.
Zhang Dongsheng was in the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission. Although his uncle had an important position, he could not control the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission.
What's more, Dad Zhu now has grades in his hands, and his words are quite tough.
The age is relatively young, and it is likely to go further in the future.
Although you can't touch that position, it's definitely not easy to mess with.
Only then did Zhang Dongsheng think of expressing his appeal through Du Fei.
As for the reward, Zhang Dongsheng didn't say anything. Du Fei could probably guess that it probably didn't fall to him but to Zhu's father.
Minister Xie finally sent back some residual heat...
After one o'clock in the afternoon, Du Fei came out of Zhang Dongsheng's house.
Zhang Dongsheng and his wife were sent all the way to the entrance of the alley. After watching Du Fei go away, Li Xiulan asked, "Old Zhang, what's the matter?"
Zhang Dongsheng sighed and said, "It's hard to say, let's talk about it depending on the situation~ You clean up at home, I'll go and see uncle."
After speaking, he turned around to pick up his bicycle.
Li Xiulan sighed, ever since Minister Xie's cancer was confirmed, the roots of their family began to wither.
Until the day of death, it will be completely broken.
In this process, everyone is suffering.
Zhang Dongsheng came to Minister Xie's unit on a bicycle.
Although he was diagnosed with cancer, his uncle did not leave his job to recuperate, saying that the disease is incurable, and it is better to fight to the end than lingering on the sickbed.
This is of course the last persistence of a soldier, and it is also the last to pave the way for the nephew at home.
If you really retire due to illness and give up the power in your hand, you will be completely blind.
When Zhang Dongsheng came to the office, Minister Xie was smoking and reading documents.
"Uncle~" Zhang Dongsheng came in and called out, opened his mouth to reduce his sobbing, but swallowed the words again.
It doesn't make any sense to say these Shaoxing words so far. Could it be possible to get rid of cancer if one less cigarette is smoked?
"Dongsheng~" Minister Xie put down the documents at hand, took off his presbyopic glasses and wiped them with a cloth: "Have you met Du Fei?"
Zhang Dongsheng nodded: "I just met and told him about the situation."
Minister Xie said "hmm" and said, "What's his reaction?"
Zhang Dongsheng said: "It's almost as you expected..."
Minister Xie smiled: "That's good, your business is almost done."
Zhang Dongsheng nodded, but he was still worried, but at this moment he couldn't bear to let his uncle worry about it.
Du Fei spread the word about the matter, and Zhu's father pushed the boat along, so it should be sure.
But there is a lot of emphasis on external release. He is from the capital, not to mention half-level use, even if it is flat, it is a world of difference.
Where are you going, what are you in charge of?In the city or to the county?
It's just that he didn't want Minister Xie to worry about these things anymore, so he simply resigned himself to fate.
Zhang Dongsheng was thinking in his heart, and Minister Xie suddenly said, "Dongsheng, I remember that you had a good relationship with Lao Chu and his boss when you were young, didn't you?"
Zhang Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Chu Ming was suddenly mentioned, he nodded and said, "We had a good relationship when we were young, but we seldom had any contact with work."
Minister Xie said: "Chu Ming is the county magistrate in Guangdong Province, how about you go and form a team with him?"
Zhang Dongsheng didn't expect that Minister Xie had already considered where to go.
I couldn't help being moved, my eyes were red: "Uncle!"
Minister Xie waved his hand and said, "Man, what are you doing hypocritically! Your generation is the only one in our family. Your brother is straight-hearted. He has the same virtues as me and easily offends others. After I die, you keep your distance..."
Zhang Dongsheng understands that this is not to put all eggs in one basket.
Minister Xie said again: "Your sister has a bad temper, and she's still a daughter. You can take care of her if you can."
Zhang Dongsheng burst into tears: "Don't worry, I... I will remember."
Minister Xie said again: "Besides, when you go to the south, try to cooperate with Chu Ming in work, keep a low profile and don't stand out, understand?"
Zhang Dongsheng nodded: "I understand, I understand."
Minister Xie let out a long sigh...
On the other end, Du Fei returned to work, thinking about the meeting with Zhang Dongsheng just now.
Sitting down in the office, he picked up the phone and called Dad Zhu.
After being transferred by Secretary Wang, Du Fei recounted the situation just now, and finally asked, "Dad, look at this..."
Zhu's father sighed and said, "Lao Xie is arranging funeral arrangements. He was in the best health when he was in Taihang Mountain. Who would have thought that he would have this kind of disease."
Du Fei was silent, he didn't know the relationship with the older generation.
These people have all come here from the battlefield. Sometimes on the surface they seem to be tit-for-tat, but in private it may be a deadly friendship.
Since I don't know, I simply don't speak, so as not to say the wrong thing.
After a while, Zhu's father said: "I know about this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."
Du Fei said "OK" and took the opportunity to ask Zhou Xiaobai's second brother to meet him at night.
When Dad Zhu heard this, he couldn't help sighing: "Zhou Zhennan can't sit still anymore? Okay, you go and listen to what his son has to say."
After finishing the call, Du Fei put down the receiver, pondering what Dad Zhu said just now and the tone of his speech.
Obviously, Zhu's father had anticipated Zhou's actions.
Du Fei took a deep breath, feeling more and more complicated and undercurrents in the current situation.
The afternoon passed quickly.
Luo Yun still wanted to go off work with Zhou Xiaobai as usual.
Zhou Xiaobai said, "Xiaoyun, I can't go with you today. My second brother has something to do with me tonight."
Luo Yun was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he said, "When did Second Brother come back?" A blush appeared on his cheeks.
Seeing Luo Yun's reaction, Zhou Xiaobai quickly looked away, and replied, "I came back yesterday, but I will leave tomorrow."
She has been friends with Luo Yun since elementary school, but she was young and ignorant.
She is almost twenty now, so she still doesn't understand that Luo Yun likes her second brother.
It's just that Zhou Xiaobai knew in his heart that it was impossible for them.
First of all, there is a gap between the two families. In fact, Luo Yun is not an ordinary family. Her father is a colonel and once served as a brigade commander, but it is definitely not comparable to the Zhou family.
Secondly, Zhou Xiaobai's second brother didn't have that kind of interest in this little sister at all, and the family had arranged it, so he already had a partner.
However, Luo Yun never made it clear, and Zhou Xiaobai couldn't speak directly, so he could only make indirect remarks.
But Luo Yun hinted many times, but it seemed like he couldn't understand.
Luo Yun blinked and looked at Zhou Xiaobai, the meaning was self-evident, and he wanted to follow.
Zhou Xiaobai quickly shook his head: "Not today!" Then lowered his voice: "My second brother will invite our manager to dinner tonight."
Luo Yun was stunned for a moment, disappointed, and then asked curiously: "That's great, why did Second Brother invite the manager to dinner?"
Zhou Xiaobai is not stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say, so he said perfunctorily, "I don't know, I will be in charge of running errands and notifying."
Luo Yun didn't ask any more questions, just said "See you tomorrow", and watched Zhou Xiaobai leave with a sigh.
Zhou Xiaobai went to the door, got into Du Fei's jeep, and drove to the Air Force Guest House.
Zhou Xiaobai's second brother was waiting at the door ahead of time.
Should I say it or not, the Zhou family's genes are really good.
Du Fei has seen Zhou Zhennan and his wife, they are dignified, dignified and beautiful, and Zhou Xiaobai is also quite beautiful.
Her second brother is also not bad, he is seven points like Zhou Zhennan, but taller.
The jeep stopped, and Du Fei and Zhou Xiaobai got off.
The second elder brother of the Zhou family walked down the steps with a smile on his face.
Zhou Xiaobai immediately introduced: "Manager, this is my second brother Zhou Sheng. Second brother, this is our Manager Du."
Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand: "Comrade Du Fei, your name has been like a thunderbolt in the past two years!"
Du Fei shook hands with him and felt thick calluses on his palms. The person in front of him was obviously not a son who couldn't bear hardships.
He laughed and said: "Brother Zhou, you can call me Xiao Du. You and my third uncle are in the same class. You are a soldier and a comrade in the same company. He often mentions you."
Zhou Sheng said meaningfully: "Zhu Tian? I'm afraid he can't say anything good. Back then, we were the only ones competing for the best recruits."
Du Fei was just being polite. He had heard that Zhou Xiaobai's second brother was going to meet, so he had to make some preparations.
Knowing that Zhou Sheng and Zhu Tian were in the same elementary school, and the soldiers were also divided together, they used it as an excuse.
Unexpectedly, the two had some past.
Du Fei said: "That's really a match in chess, and a good talent in the future."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Sheng sent Zhou Xiaobai away and brought Du Fei here, and her mission was completed.
Although Zhou Xiaobai was curious about what Zhou Sheng and Du Fei were talking about, he had no choice but to leave.
Du Fei followed Zhou Sheng up to the second floor of the guest house and came to a private room.
The private room is small in size, with a square Eight Immortals table in the middle and a chair on one side.
It is just suitable for small gatherings of four or five people. If there are more people, go to a larger room.
Zhou Sheng greeted the waiter and quickly brought the dishes.
Looking at the light color of the dishes, it should be the way of Huaiyang cuisine.
Zhou Sheng also prepared a bottle of Fenjiu and poured a cup for Du Fei: "Brother Du, I take the liberty of inviting you today. I'm glad you can come. Let me offer you a glass first."
Du Fei picked up the white porcelain wine cup: "Brother Zhou, you're welcome, it's my honor, cheers~"
After speaking, he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Sheng put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks and let Du Fei eat.
Needless to say, it is worthy of the Air Force Guest House, and the master who runs the small stove is really skilled.
Zhou Sheng is good at chatting, and he has a very happy chat with Du Fei.
It's just that after talking about it, I haven't mentioned the reason for inviting Du Fei today.
Du Fei wasn't in a hurry, they were strangers to begin with, although they were now called brothers, they were actually testing each other's character.
When he was almost done eating, Zhou Sheng brought the topic to Lin Tiansheng.
Du Fei's heart skipped a beat, and an alarm immediately sounded in his mind.
He said calmly, "Brother Lin! That's really a tiger father with no dogs, and he led people to fight very well in Nanyang. When he went there, he brought more than ten people with him, but now he just played a provincial one. Site."
While talking, Du Fei watched his words and expressions.
It is reasonable that Zhou Sheng and Lin Tiansheng are closer, but there are some things that may not be the case.
And this time Zhou Sheng invited him to represent his father, so Du Fei couldn't help but be careless.
Zhou Sheng took a sip of his wine: "Old Lin is indeed capable. In our generation, he is the only one who has the talent to lead soldiers. But I didn't expect that the youngest of the Li family would also be able to fight."
When it came to Li Yuanchao again, Du Fei became more vigilant, and responded: "They are all heroes of the moment~"
Zhou Sheng's eyes were meaningful: "If you talk about heroes, I don't think they can compare to you, Brother Du!"
Du Fei raised his eyebrows, but didn't say any polite words.
He already understood what Zhou Sheng meant.
Putting down the chopsticks, he calmed down and said: "Brother Zhou, from what you mean, do you also want to end?"
Zhou Sheng pursed his lips, poured a cup of wine on his own, and drank it in one gulp: "I have self-knowledge, I'm just a middle-of-the-road person, and my family is no match for the Lin family and the Li family. You can't go around without me."
Du Fei directly ignored his self-effacing: "Then I don't know what Brother Zhou thinks?"
Zhou Shengdao: "Brother Du, we are all sensible people. I don't need to say what the situation is now. No one is sure of winning."
Du Fei said: "So, my Uncle Zhou also wants to get a son out of the market?"
Zhou Sheng smiled, as a default.
Neither of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere fell into silence.
After a while, Zhou Sheng said: "Brother Du, my father said more than once that you are good at general planning, far-sighted, and plan ahead..."
Du Fei listened, thinking quickly.
Zhou Shengyan made it clear that he invited Du Fei today because he wanted to ask him whether he should choose Lin Tiansheng or Li Yuanchao if he were to plan outside.
This question is actually not difficult to answer.
What really needs to be considered is the purpose of Zhou Zhennan asking his son to ask this question.
At first glance, Zhou Sheng seems to be leaning toward Lin Tiansheng.
But Du Fei knew that there was only one person in the Zhou family who was loyal from the beginning to the end.
