At almost five o'clock, the motorcade stopped in front of Zhang Bi's house. Zhang Bi did not greet him at the gate, but waited in the main courtyard, which was the second entrance. If he had waited in the main room of the third entrance, although it would have been There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a little underestimating, and the main courtyard is just right. .
As the matchmaker, Wu Zhiheng first went up with Chen Zhigeng to see the ceremony, and then Chen Zhigeng introduced the Chen family one by one. Only Chen Mu and Zhang Jingwei stood aside. When this was over, he and Zhang Jingwei went up. How should I say, he He is half host and half guest, and he is a junior in the Chen family, so there is such an arrangement. These are all rules.
After chatting for a long time, they went inside to drink tea and chat, and then it was dinner. After dinner, they sat for a while before Wu Zhiheng and Chen Jiaru said goodbye and left. Zhang Bi's house was not big and could not accommodate so many people, and they were not engaged yet, so There is no such thing as living directly in Zhangbi. At this point, Wu Zhiheng's work was temporarily over. After sending Chen Jiaru to the hotel, he returned to the Yang family.
The initial set of trivial rules was over, and only Chen Mu stayed. Zhang Bi called him, "Come to the study with me!" This was actually very polite, and it was also because Chen Mu behaved from the moment he appeared. The reason why he was very satisfied was that even though he hadn't seen him for almost a year, Chen Mu's transformation still surprised him.
Chen Mu smiled and nodded, "Okay, grandpa!" This was the first time he called like this. It was not a test, but it was natural. Then he patted the back of Zhang Jingwei's hand that grabbed his, looked at her and smiled, Turned around and followed.
Zhang Bi watched Chen Mu enter, poured him tea skillfully and familiarly, took it, took a slow sip, and then slowly continued: "It's still the same question, how will the Chen family get along with themselves in the future?"
Chen Mu did not think about it, nor did he pretend to think about it. He nodded and answered simply and directly in eight words: "Hide your capabilities, bide your time, and take advantage of the situation!"
Guangjiliang slowly becomes the king. That was the answer Chen Mu gave to Zhang Bi before. Although it was only six words, it contained huge ambitions. The slowly becoming the king sounds low-key, but in fact it is arrogant and too utilitarian. This is also the answer he gave to Zhang Bi before. Zhang Bi said that he was too thoughtful, and it had to be said that the Zhang family might use him as a chess piece. Although he might not make a move, there was always no problem in pretending to be powerful, not to mention that Zhang Jingwei was completely devoted to him.
??Hide your capabilities, bide your time, and take advantage of the trend! There are only two more words, but the attitude is completely different. It is very peaceful, but it does not mean that there is no fighting, it is just that it is not an angry fight against the trend. Keeping a low profile, Chen Mu has the deepest understanding of himself and the Chen family. .
??The Chen family of Jianghuai was just a small power before, and now it is like a nouveau riche that suddenly flourished. However, that was all because of the emergency period just before, and the help of the Yang family and Zhangbi family, the Chen family was able to grow rapidly.
But the Chen family's background is shallow after all. Even if a high-level position is vacated, they can basically just watch. More important things are that the Chen family themselves are not involved at the top. The struggle at the top is more dangerous and can easily be ruined. At the level of losing the entire family's future, the Chen family cannot completely rely on other families for support. Even if Chen Mu and Zhang Jingwei get married, at the critical moment, it is conceivable that Zhang Bi will have no choice but to protect them with all his strength.
????????????? Again, Zhang Bi¡¯s faction is composed of countless officials and forces, large and small.
Furthermore, the Chen family has actually benefited a lot. In more than two years, they have gained two more senior officials at the deputy ministerial level, many at the department level, and many at the deputy department level. The expansion of power in other areas is not slow. In this way, it is time to temporarily digest and absorb the results obtained. At the same time, it is the best choice to wait until Chen Daowen or Chen Daoqing slowly establish a firm foundation at the upper level in a few years, and then slowly exert their efforts.
A huge power and family cannot be achieved in an instant. Chen Mu and the Jianghuai Chen family must be patient and complete it bit by bit. On the contrary, if Chen Mu and the Chen family cannot hide their capabilities and bide their time, there is no reason why anything good than Lin Feng will be destroyed. It's not difficult to understand.
Zhang Biyi didn't say anything for the first time. He just glanced at him, took another sip of tea, and then asked another question, "Tell me about your job!"
This is another very broad question. Chen Mu thought about it this time before continuing: "When we were on the road just now, my father said something to my cousin. To sum it up, it's probably - only to myself Only those who are not confident in their abilities and have poor support and control will use checks and balances.¡±
"To put it more broadly, politics itself is the art of struggle and compromise. The materialist point of view also says that everything has contradictions, and the development of any thing has a good side and a bad side." Chen Mu said He grasped the big picture, or the direction of his great goal, instead of talking about a little bit here and a little bit there, "from the division of labor and allocation of party and government officials, to the secretary's office meeting, to the standing committee, such institutional settings itself?Ecological disputes within the entire circle have become normal, but that is not the purpose. All of this is set up for a beautiful vision, which is to strive to do the right thing and do things that are beneficial to the entire country and the people. In this way, What we have to do is actually to use this as the standard and goal, whether it is struggle or compromise. "
Chen Mu said a lot eloquently, some of which sounded empty, but it was what he was doing. It was not difficult for Zhang Bi to know this from Zhang Jingwei. In this way, he said it confidently, It is precisely because of this that he seems to be somewhat different.
After a while, Zhang Bi nodded and gave him a positive comment for the first time, "Well, you can marry our Xiaoliu!" Chen Mu was feeling happy, so he added, "I won't say much else. , but you have to remember one thing: as a man, you must be responsible, and don¡¯t forget about priorities, do you understand?¡±
For just a moment, the hair on Chen Mu's back stood up, but he remembered to agree obediently, "I know, grandpa!" Zhang Bi didn't mean to embarrass him again, and nodded slightly, "Well, that's good, Get out!"
Chen Mu hurriedly slipped out and pulled Zhang Jingwei, who had been eavesdropping for a long time. Before she could ask anything, he covered her mouth and pulled her to the front yard. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "I almost scared myself to death." "Yes," the last words Zhang Bi just said were naturally to warn or urge him on the issue of women, but Chen Mu was not curious that the old man would know.
Zhang Jingwei, on the other hand, had just heard Chen Mu's words that he could marry her. She was so happy that she had no other thoughts. She didn't hear the rest of the words at all. Even if she heard them, she could only twist his ears to vent her anger. At this time She was holding Chen Mu's arm and couldn't bear to let go. With a smile on her face, she said coquettishly: "Humph, you still behave like a good boy after getting an advantage. Grandpa is so kind to you!"
Chen Mu had done a lot of bad things, and his reactions were extremely quick. When he heard Zhang Jingwei's words, he knew that she probably didn't hear him, and of course he wouldn't be looking for trouble. He pinched her cheek with a smile, bit her lips and kissed her, Smiling evilly, "Honey, can we do bad things tonight?"
Zhang Jingwei felt hot in her heart and her body. She gritted her teeth and pinched him a little, then squeezed her body into his arms. She hummed, "I hate it, you dare."
When Chen Mu saw this posture, he wanted to turn into a wolf, but at this critical moment, Zhang Weihao, Liu Jinhong, and especially Ji Jingchen appeared beside him. He curled his lips and snorted, "Pay attention to the impact. Besides, this Such a thing, do you two want to put on a show here?"
Only a few people like Zhang Jingwei, Chen Mu, and Zheng Meizhi knew that Ji Jingchen was a lesbian. None of the people in Beijing knew about it. This was also to protect her. Therefore, although she said something Although it was harsh and harsh, it did not attract the special attention of Zhang Weihao and Liu Jinhong.
Zhang Weihao even laughed, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, what's the point? If the love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?" Zhang Jingwei also bothered to give these guys an opportunity to be intimate with Chen Mu, He curled his lips and interrupted him, "Come on, Third Brother, I got your Peking University diploma back for you, so don't disgust all of us here."
Ji Jingchen took the opportunity to hold her back at this time, "Let's go, I have a lot of people waiting there. If you are late, I will definitely be fine, but I can't guarantee that you won't cause trouble for those boring guys."
Zhang Jingwei didn't give her face this time. She threw away her hand, giggled and hugged Chen Mu's arm and sat with him. Ji Jingchen could only curl her lips and sigh, "It turns out that women have the same abilities as men. If you lose the different sex, you will lose the sex.¡±
These words made everyone happy. Even in Ji Jingchen's other courtyard, several people were still talking about it. Chen Mu also rudely mocked Ji Jingchen overtly and secretly, and then got out of the car. When he arrived, he was chased by Ji Jingchen and entered.
Now it was lively inside, and Yang Mengting, a mature man like him, joked, "Oh, this is incredible, we guys can't stand it any longer," Yuan Zicong even shouted, "Young man!" He yelled, "Hey, hey, Fourth Master, you are about to get engaged, so don't mess around!"
Fourth Master, this reflects Chen Mu's current status. A year ago, Yuan Zicong was a kid, but now, Chen Mu has completely integrated into this circle, and his identity and status are different. The Yuan family Compared with the Chen family, it is not much better, and the prospects of the Yuan family are obviously not as good as those of the Chen family.
"What's wrong with me? Everyone is making such a fuss," Chen Mu smiled and sat on the sofa in the middle, letting Ji Jingchen pinch him a few times, and said with a bitter smile: "Did you see, I am suffering, who is it? Whoever wants to go."
Ji Jingchen¡¯s charm is really irresistible. Zhao Mingwei, He Zhiwu and Yuan Zicong all came togetherRaising his hands, he said, "I can bear this pain, just come to me!" Even Jin Xiancheng, who was sitting aside and had been expressionless, laughed and raised his hands, "I can try this job!"
