After getting off work on Friday, Zhao Jiadi received a call from his rival Huang Ying when he was getting off the stairs, telling him that he would be invited to dinner at home. Zhao Jiadi, who was originally in a hurry to go to Shanghai, had to explain the situation to the old principal first, and then get familiar with the familiar ways. However, in the Provincial Party Committee compound, I met a girl who I had met once at Qi Shugen's birthday party on the road. She was in her mid-twenties, wearing an OL-style sleeveless leopard print dress. She had an average appearance but a good demeanor. , Wealth brings gold branches and jade leaves, and it is true that a girl from a good family is more likely to be successful. She carried two large bags of things, and Zhao Jiadi went up to help carry one bag and sent her to a villa before handing back the things. The two of them chatted for a while during the three-to-four-minute walk, and Zhao Jiadi was shocked to realize that Huang Ying knew almost everything the official daughter knew, such as zero points in English in the college entrance examination, and bad luck in the national examination. Erhu, some off-key Peking Opera, German and Russian are slightly better than English. The girl¡¯s surname is Zheng, her single name is Dan, and she speaks gracefully. It¡¯s probably because Zhao Jiadi looks harmless, so he visits the provincial party committee compound every day. The legendary figure was very unsuspecting. If she hadn't learned that Zhao Jiadi was rushing to Huang Ji's house for dinner, she would have dragged him into the house to drink tea. (The most stable,) Huang Ji has roughly decided to retire to the National People's Congress in the next term. The peak of his life will stop here. The old man once worked with the next big boss in Beijing who will take charge of the country after the 18th National Congress. , and once traveled to 11 provinces and municipalities in Zhejiang with a member of the Political Bureau. Not only is it out of reach for ordinary people, even Zhao Jiadi will be filled with suspicion, admiration and awe when he thinks about it. After spending a long time with the Huang Ji Department, Zhao Jiadi realized firsthand that the so-called feudal officials and state officials were not very conspicuous in real life. They spoke plainly and rarely made surprising remarks. They also enjoyed following some life dramas. , will be pulled by the granddaughter Happy Camp or If You Are the One, will volunteer to cook and cook, but will not receive good reviews, will be teased by the younger generations of the family about some minor problems, such as at this moment, Huang Ji at the dinner table is being taught by Huang Ying about Nine Zero Hou's understanding was too narrow-minded and prejudiced, so Huang Ji had to listen obediently. There is a rule in the Huang family that officialdom and political matters are never told to the children. No matter how big the gossip or insider information is, no one will mention it. This is probably to give children of Huang Ying's generation a relatively warm feeling in the adult world. Huang Ying is destined to never suffer much in her life anyway, so why let her come into contact with those thrilling dark sides too early?
Huang Ji was in a good mood today and cooked a few dishes with his own hands. He gave Zhao Jiadi a piece of Longjing shrimp and a piece of Dongpo pork respectively, and said with a smile: "Jiadi, these two are famous Hangzhou dishes, and the shrimp is mine." The Dongpo Pork is stir-fried and it took Yingzi more than two hours to put it on the table. If you give it a rating, all these people are biased towards Yingzi. Today, you will be the judge of justice and make the final decision."
Zhao Jiadi tasted it carefully and said seriously: "The shrimp is more delicious."
Huang Ying, who was supposed to scold Zhao Jiadi for his lack of eyesight and taste, unexpectedly burst into laughter and said to her grandfather: "I want you to shoot yourself in the foot. Look, my cooking skills are better than yours. I only learned them for a few days." I just compared you to that, you have no talent."
It turns out that shrimps are Huang Ying¡¯s masterpiece. Huang Ji was not angry about Huang Ying's unrestrained talk. He just looked at each other and smiled at Zhao Jia. If this question had been asked in a different way, Zhao Jia would have been embarrassed. Probably because she had won her grandpa, Huang Ying was in a very good mood. After dinner, she and Zhao Jia first
When cleaning up the dishes, she actually didn¡¯t do much. Zhao Jiadi was doing it skillfully. She was just doing a token favor and asked in a low voice, is the Longjing shrimp delicious? Zhao Jiadi nodded. Huang Ying hesitated for a moment and asked, will you show off your skills next time we have a dinner at home? Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will outshine you?" Huang Ying said generously that it's okay, the main reason is that I can take the opportunity to steal my master, and you will be defeated by me in just a few times. Zhao Jiadi curled his lips and said where did you get your confidence? For sword skills alone, you had to practice in seclusion for seven or eight years before you could barely become a master. Huang Ying raised her eyebrows and said angrily, warning you not to dampen my enthusiasm. The knife is very close to me now. I will kill you if I miss it! Zhao Jiadi put the dishes and chopsticks neatly into the cupboard, glared at the lawless Huang Ying, and said fiercely, you are not my sister, otherwise I would have hung you up and beaten you, or you would have dragged her to the corner and slapped her twice. Huang Ying snorted coldly and kicked Zhao Jiadi's calf, neither lightly nor hard. Zhao Jiadi gasped and rewarded Huang Ying with a chestnut. Huang Ying, who had never been beaten before in her life, ran away like a wild animal. The recalcitrant kitten bared its teeth and claws. Zhao Jiadi looked in all directions and heard Huang Ying's temperament that she would not complain. He had long wanted to teach this heartless girl a lesson, and immediately clasped her hands with one hand and held her with the other. His hand flicked hard on her forehead. (The most stable,,) For a while, the kitchen was full of smoke, and Huang Ying kept fighting. It wasn't until her mother came in to wash the fruits that the two gave up. They smiled tacitly to help, just like a loving couple who respected each other as guests, which made Meng Meng Huang Ying's mother, who was in the dark, was very pleased. As soon as she left, Zhao Jiadi and Huang Ying started fighting each other again. As a result, Huang Ying made a fuss for a long time, and suddenly realized that she was the one being beaten. That bastard with no grace and no sense had nothing to do with him. None, he suddenly felt miserable, his eyes were red, and he stared blankly at Zhao Jiadi,As soon as his mace came out, Zhao Jiadi immediately surrendered and showed weakness by saying, "I'll let you kick me, won't you hide?" Huang Ying ignored him, as if pear blossoms were bringing rain, Zhao Jia was the first to grit his teeth and say, "Hey!" Huang Ying is worthy of being an actor. Her little face instantly shined brightly. Without saying a word, she kicked Zhao Jiadi in the crotch. Zhao Jiadi was frightened into a cold sweat and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the little bamboo leaf green leg, only to realize that he had no strength at all. , it was purely scary. He just breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that the unexpected situation would make him stupid. Huang Ji, who saw this scene at the door, coughed, and left with a smile, thinking that I didn't see it, I didn't see it. The villain Zhao Jiadi complained first and said angrily that you have suffered a lot now! Huang Ying, who was blushing at first, was very angry when she heard this. She still kept her golden rooster in an indecent posture and shouted, "How dare you say that?" ! Zhao Jiadi let go of his hand, thinking that he was lucky not to be beaten out by Huang Ji with a stick. Should he go and explain? But I'm afraid of adding too much to the problem, so I won't even think about visiting him again. Seeing Zhao Jiadi's appearance of being a good boy after getting a bargain, Huang Ying was ready to kill someone. Zhao Jiadi knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he slipped to the balcony facing the garden, smoked a cigarette, and placed Huang Ying on his heels. , Huang Ji was having a routine heart-to-heart talk with Huang Ying's father in the upper room, while several women were watching TV in the living room. None of them regarded Zhao Jiadi as an outsider and did not bother to greet him politely. Now many times when visitors knock on the door, it is Zhao who is nearby. Jia Di went to open the door, and gradually everyone in the Provincial Party Committee compound knew that there was such a young man named Zhao in Huang Ji's family. Zhao Jiadi glanced at Huang Ying. This girl's greatest virtue is that she never spends the night grudges. The same is true for her biggest fault. If she has a grudge, she must take revenge on the same day. At this time, Huang Ying's eyes were darting around. She must be looking for a weapon to give to Zhao. Jia Di¡¯s fatal blow was that the broom was too light. Zhao Jia Di¡¯s skin was rough and fleshy, so it was not lethal. The mahogany chair was too heavy. Don¡¯t miss his small waist without lifting it up. Zhao Jia Di quickly tried to persuade Huang Ying. , Huang Nuxia, please stop fussing, okay? If the trouble continues, I will never dare to come to your house again. Huang Ying smiled and said that this is a good thing. Without you, this house will be clean. Zhao Jiadi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Huang Ying lowered her voice and said, "What's going on?" Zhao Jiadi said seriously that from now on I may have to work overtime in my unit, but I will definitely find time to go to Shanghai every weekend, so I won¡¯t give you extra classes. So you should be happy? Huang Ying said oh, but there was nothing more to say.
In the room, at the end of the conversation, Huang Ying's father, Huang Jianhua, said worriedly: "Does Yingzi have any thoughts about Jiadi?"
Huang Ji smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Huang Jianhua said helplessly: "It's not that enemies don't get together, Yingzi is only in the first grade of high school."
Huang Ji, who didn't seem to care, joked: "Yingzi and Shugen were close before, but I never saw you so worried." Huang Jianhua shook his head and said: "Yingzi has always regarded Shugen as her brother, I can see that. Dad, Have you seen any boy that Yingzi was so tit-for-tat with before? I'm afraid that she doesn't even know what she's thinking, and if she comes to her senses one day, it will be too late to do anything."
Huang Ji pointed at his son and said, "I'm just worried."
Huang Jianhua said depressedly: "Dad, why are you so sure that Yingzi will be fine?"
Huang Ji smiled and said: "Youth is a thunderstorm that cannot be avoided. A little rain is not a bad thing. If you catch a cold for a few days at most, let's not be so sentimental and hold an umbrella for the children. We didn't all come here like this at that time. You are allowed to harm other people's daughters, but others are not allowed to harm your girl?"
Huang Jianhua was amused by his father's words. His mood improved and he said, "My daughter must be protected."
Huang Ji said: "Okay, I will take care of this matter."
When it comes to Zhao Jiadi, one cannot avoid the inextricable connections between the Li family in Beijing, the old man of the Li family, and Xu Zhen, the son-in-law of the Li family who is almost capable of forming his own system. The Li family's son-in-law has caused a stir in Zhejiang. There are countless high-ranking officials at the department and bureau level. As a direct descendant of the Li family with clear labels, Huang Ji has always been a firm ally with Xu Zhen in recent years. But on the inside, Huang Ji does not fully agree with Xu Zhen's actions. In private, they have only a vague friendship. In the first year after Xu Zhen landed in Zhejiang, the two of them drank tea and fished together several times, but rarely met each other after that. However, when there was a big move, the two still had a tacit understanding and always maintained a high degree of consistency. The outside world knew that Xu Zhen could be as successful as he is today. In terms of personnel, Huang Ji mainly relied on two people, Huang Ji, who had been in charge of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee for many years, and Secretary Song of the Provincial Party Committee, who took the initiative to vote for a certain team. After Huang Ji retired, not surprisingly, he was the one with the surname Song. He no longer serves as secretary-general, but is promoted to the second-ranked deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Song's number one job right now is to open up the Chu-He-Han realm with the newly appointed Li Tan, and the people come and go. It's very lively, and it's a feast for the eyes of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. It happened to be a coincidence that Zhao Jiadi of Xiaoyu Xiaoxia ran into the Zhejiang First Secretary on the island after he and Li Tan went from the Provincial Fourth Prison to the Xixi Wetland. Secretary Song was accompanied by someone whom Zhao Jiadi was more familiar with. A man, Cai Qiang who was transferred from Shanghai, Cai Yanzhi's biological brother. The two sides passed each other without any exchange of greetings, but the two supporting characters, Zhao Jiadi and Cai Qiang, had a vague look in their eyes. Zhao Jiadi has a good memory. After learning the identity of the middle-aged man from Li Tan, heWe were drinking together at Vogue, and the man named Song was next door. He was sitting next to Fang Fei. Zhao Jiadi was thinking if he could learn something from Fang Fei, to know himself and the enemy, not to mention winning, at least he wouldn't have to lose in a muddle. Zhao Jiadi has not contacted Cai Qiang since he came to Hangzhou, so it seems necessary to have tea together in private. In Zhao Jiadi's view, the reason why Song Dynasty valued Cai Qiang so much was not only Cai Qiang's own ability, but also believed that a large part of the reason was Cai Yanzhi behind Cai Qiang. She was able to thrive in Shanghai and even dared to challenge the Chen family face to face. The energy is undeniable, and Zhao Jiadi even had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that Cai Qiang would have the opportunity to follow Song Sha and return to Shanghai, and each of them could reach a new level? Or is it possible that Song¡¯s target is not the No. 2 Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee? But? When Zhao Jiadi was taking a boat on an outlying island, he mentioned this idea to Li Tan. The latter stared at Zhao Jiadi for a long time, and finally said: You guys are enlightened. The man named Song is now running to Beijing in a hurry. Just busy running this, him fighting with me here is just a cover-up. Zhao Jiadi muttered on the spot that all these guys had become spirits. Li Tan laughed it off and seemed not to be afraid of people named Song.
Throughout the weekend, Zhao Jiadi had to stay at the old principal's house and cook a small stove. Before leaving on Sunday afternoon, after having a light dinner, Jiang Shigen suddenly called Zhao Jiadi to the room, with a serious look on his face, and asked Zhao Jiadi for the first time. Zhao Jiadi didn't dare not give him a cigarette. The old principal said straight to the point: "I didn't go to Jinhai to be a director of the Communist Party of China. Do you know this?"
Zhao Jiadi nodded and said, "I heard what Zhao Sanjin said."
The old principal blew out a smoke ring and said slowly: "Then do you know about the Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee?"
Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
The old principal took out a clipping book from the table. In addition to having the habit of reading newspapers and magazines regularly and quantitatively for decades, the old man also developed the habit of cutting and pasting useful information into the book. He turned to one of the pages and threw it away. Give it to Zhao Jiadi. Zhao Jiadi took it and looked at it. Looking at the time, it was a report from the "People's Daily" almost twelve or thirteen years ago. It contained a brief explanation of the Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee. The old principal said softly, "Go to the next few pages." They are all related reports from the next few years. They are not long but have a long aftertaste. Please read them slowly. It took Zhao Jiadi about twenty minutes to finish reading, while the old principal smoked five or six cigarettes one after another. For a moment, the room was filled with smoke. Zhao Jiadi closed the book and said to the old principal what he had mentioned. The organization has a clear outline. This committee, which includes the governor, deputy governor of the central bank, deputy director of the Ministry of Finance, director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, chairman of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission and other financial experts, has extremely high standards internally, but is extremely low-key externally. , to put it simply, the responsibility of this agency is to manage all matters related to monetary policy based on a comprehensive analysis of the macroeconomic situation. The old principal put out his cigarette butt and said softly: "A decade ago, the committee only had one expert member. Last year, there were three expert members. They are the dean of the National Exhibition Research Institute of Peking University, the director of the Financial Research Institute of the State Council Exhibition Research Center, Director of the Center for China and the World Economy at Tsinghua University, with a two-year term. To become an expert committee member, the paper requirements are very high. He must have been working in the financial industry for more than 10 years, be a non-state civil servant, and not work in any for-profit organization, etc. But the standard of truth is higher, Jiadi, you are my retreat disciple, tell me what my strengths are, don¡¯t flatter me, tell the truth.¡±
Zhao Jiadi said without hesitation: "Comparative economics, institutional economics, transitional economics, your research on the budget constraint mechanism is recognized as the first in the country."
The old principal smiled softly and lit up a cigarette again, "I only changed my position in one or two years, and now someone is saying hello to me and telling me to be ready to go to Zhongnanhai to take classes."
Zhao Jiadi asked tentatively: "Chen Jing?"
The old principal nodded.
Zhao Jiadi sighed: "Zhao Sanjin is really capable of doing things."
The old principal leaned on his chair and said slowly: "According to the rules, the two spots for the next expert committee will definitely be allocated to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Countless people will fight for the third candidate. By the way, Zhao Jiadi, you Have you ever heard of the 'Vision Cup' hosted by Securities Market Weekly?"
Zhao Jiadi didn't think through this somewhat off-topic inquiry. He had only heard about the Vision Cup, which was played by a small group of people in the financial circle for their own entertainment. He was not familiar with it, so he said honestly: "I only know that this competition is used by people within the circle to ruin the reputation." Mixed.¡±
The old principal said softly: "Then you can go and learn more about it, because I am going to recommend you to participate in the competition next year. Over the years, I have participated four or five times, but I have never gotten a good ranking. It has always been a problem. This Vision Cup , the disadvantage is that to a certain extent, it is to "guess the Beijing Tianting". Those contestants who accurately understand the thoughts of the statistics department are easy to win. In addition, the rule setting of the Vision Cup conflicts with the original intention of the vision of economic analysis, so it is difficult to win. Convince the crowd. But I suddenly thought, isn¡¯t this what you guys are good at? When you accept an apprentice, you have to get some benefits, so you guys give meCheer up, if you can't win the first place for three consecutive years, just pack up and get out! "
The shocked Zhao Jiadi said with a grimace: "Old principal, I don't accept disciples like you!"
Jiang Shigen said angrily: "Remove the word "ÀÏ"."
Zhao Jiadi was about to hand the old principal an apprentice's filial piety cigarette, but immediately put it back in the cigarette case.
The old principal didn¡¯t mind. He took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, squinted his eyes and asked, ¡°Zhao Xin went to great lengths to trick me into joining the Monetary Policy Committee. What do you think?¡±
Zhao Jiadi blurted out: "That's a good thing."
The old principal waited for a long time for the post, but the result was gone. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is this the end?"
Zhao Jia replied matter-of-factly: "It's over, or else?"
The old principal laughed angrily and said: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."
Zhao Jiadi threatened: "When the time comes, I will place you at the bottom for three consecutive years. It depends on where you put your face!"
The old principal threw a book over, and Zhao Jiadi caught it easily.
The old man and the young man turned to look at the door at the same time. In Zhao Jiadi's view, that graceful figure was becoming more mature and delicious.
The old principal crossed the river and burned bridges and said: "I still have some work to do. First, you go play chess with Tan Le before we go. She finally returns home. You, a student, have some awakening."
living room.
A pair of good chess pieces, two boxes of chess pieces, clear black and white, the relationship between them was once more than ambiguous, but now it is a man and a woman who are strangers.
Rather than talking about playing chess, it is better to say that Zhao Jiadi is teaching Jiang Tanle to play chess step by step so as not to lose her face.
When the move reached the middle of the game, Jiang Tanle said softly: "You guys made a big dragon."
