The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
Chen Ye and Qiao Donglai took a special car and arrived at the red wall compound.
The moment the car drove into the yard, Qiao Donglai was in a trance.
Since Qiao Gu was imprisoned, the Qiao family handed over the seat of the first family in Jiangnan. The descendants, including Qiao Donglai, have made it their mission to revive the Qiao family.
Qiao Donglai is regarded as a key figure in the revival of the Qiao family.
However--
Even so, Qiao Donglai never thought that he would be able to come to this courtyard before he was fifty.
He couldn't even dream of it.
After the trance, Qiao Donglai looked at Chen Ye with warm eyes and wanted to say something, but when he thought of the driver's presence, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He kept the word "thank you" in his heart and carved it into his soul!
After a while, the car circled around and finally arrived in front of the small courtyard where Mr. Wu's office was.
After Secretary Zhou received the report from the guard, he waited at the door. When he saw the car stopped, he took the initiative to greet it.
"Young Master Chen, Mr. Wu is waiting for you in the study. Please come with me."
Secretary Zhou saw Chen Ye and Qiao Donglai get out of the car, made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way.
Chen Ye followed Secretary Zhou with an even expression.
Qiao Donglai was a little nervous.
Yes.
Even though he was the eldest son of the Qiao family and had met many important figures with Qiao Gu, he still felt inexplicably nervous before meeting Mr. Wu.
Chen Ye noticed Qiao Donglai's nervousness, smiled and patted Qiao Donglai's shoulder to make Qiao Donglai relax.
"call……"
Qiao Donglai took a deep breath and looked at the young man beside him, the tension in his heart gradually disappeared.
Soon, Chen Ye and the others arrived at the door of Mr. Wu's study.
Secretary Zhou stopped and knocked on the study door.
"Come in."
"For the first time, I brought Mr. Chen and Qiao Donglai here."
Secretary Wu opened the door and walked in with Chen Ye and Qiao Donglai.
"Ono is here."
Mr. Wu stood up with a smile, like an elder treating a junior, smiled slightly at Chen Ye, and then turned his eyes to Qiao Donglai,
"You have a bit of Qiao Gu when he was young, but you look more calm than when he was young. Keep up the good work and don't give up halfway like your grandfather."
"I will remember your teachings from the east!"
Qiao Donglai bowed immediately.
He heard the implication of Mr. Wu - don't follow Qiao Gu's footsteps and make mistakes at the end of your career.
"About your work, Secretary Zhou reported to me last night."
Mr. Wu took Chen Ye and Qiao Dong to sit down, and then continued:
"Since Ono recommends you so solemnly, then your work ability must be fine. I took a look at your resume and suggested that you go to the development and reform department for a few years to learn more macro knowledge, which will be beneficial to your future work development. There are benefits.”
"Thank you Sho-Zhang, thank you Mr. Chen!"
Qiao Donglai stood up immediately and thanked Mr. Wu and Chen Ye successively.
To Mr. Wu, it was out of respect and courtesy.
I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to Chen Ye.
Without Chen Ye, let alone asking Mr. Wu to arrange work for him, he would never have been able to come to this small courtyard, let alone meet Mr. Wu in the study.
After all, meeting in the study and meeting in the office are two different concepts.
Mr. Wu smiled, and then saw Secretary Zhou making tea, and asked:
"Xiao Zhou, have you called the Development and Reform Office?"
"For the first time, I have contacted Director Lai and told him about this matter."
"Let's do this, you take Dong Lai to Xiao Lai's place to meet him and get familiar with the environment."
"Yes, first time!"
Secretary Zhou immediately took the order.
Qiao Donglai, on the other hand, was so shocked that he froze on the spot, suspecting that he was hallucinating!
Because he knew very well what it would mean to him if Mr. Wu's secretary personally took him to the person in charge of development and reform!
Seeing this, Chen Ye stood up and patted Qiao Donglai on the shoulder:
"Go ahead, I'll have a chat with Mr. Wu."
"Okay... okay, Mr. Chen."
Qiao Donglai woke up as if from a dream, and then bowed to Mr. Wu again.
After doing all this, he left with Secretary Zhou.
"Ono, have you ever thought about serving in the Summer Watching Organization and the Military Department?"
Mr. Wu took a sip of tea and asked casually.
Chen Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Mr. Wu, you know, I like freedom and don't like to be restrained, so I can't eat from the public family."
"Then you haven't thought about future development? In other words, what are your future plans?"
Mr. Wu was not surprised by Chen Ye's answer.
Because, if Chen Ye was really interested, Zhen Shouye and Chen Xiurui had already made arrangements before he could ask.
At the same time, he was also curious about Chen Ye's future arrangements.
"Mr. Wu, I have no plans for the future."
Chen Ye shook his head gently.
For him, coming into this world was a complete accident.
All of this is like a dream, and God knows one day I will wake up from the dream.
Be good at the moment and live well now.
This is the royal way!
"All right."
Hearing Chen Ye's words again, Mr. Wu smiled bitterly, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, I heard that you are going to attend the party before the year with your grandpa?"
"Um."
Chen Ye nodded.
Last night, when Secretary Zhou, Wang Long and others asked Chen Ye about his schedule in Yanjing, Chen Ye told the truth, saying that he would accompany Chen Xiurui to celebrate the New Year and attend a party before returning to Jiangzhou.
"Why does Lao Chen suddenly want to take you to a party?"
Mr. Wu felt a little strange.
Chen Ye noticed something strange about Mr. Wu and asked:
"Mr. Wu, is there anything special about this party?"
"Let's put it this way, this party is a private event, the highest-level party in the Xia Kingdom. Almost all the big families will attend. However, in previous years, it was a group of old men and old ladies. This year is special. Each family will bring their Let’s take part together with the younger generation.”
Mr. Wu first introduced the party to Chen Ye, and then said with a wry smile:
"Now, many people say that you are at odds with the rich and powerful. In this case, if you show up at a party, you are likely to be targeted. So, I wonder why your grandfather did this."
"I wasn't originally interested in this party, but after hearing what you said, I really want to go and see it."
Chen Ye also smiled, very playfully.
Mr. Wu was slightly startled and had a bad feeling in his heart.
at the same time.
Jiangnan Province Courtyard.
When Sun Hao's father, Sun Liancheng, came to the office, he did not review the documents or organize a meeting as usual. Instead, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of the head of the organization-department:
"Minister Wang, if you are not busy right now, come to my office."
"Okay, secretary."
Minister Wang responded immediately.
Two minutes later.
Minister Wang came to Sun Liancheng's office and sat across from Sun Liancheng.
"Minister Wang, how did you consider the final decision on the decision of Jiangshu District Chief Qiao Donglai in Jiangzhou City?"
Sun Liancheng spoke first.
He had learned about what happened in Yanjing last night and was very angry about it.
He can't touch Chen Ye, but he can easily control and deal with Qiao Donglai, and at the same time give the Qiao family some color!
Minister Wang quickly reported:
"Secretary, I am preparing to report this matter to you. Early this morning, a transfer order was sent from the Development and Reform Commission to transfer Comrade Qiao Donglai to the Development and Reform Commission."
"What?"
When Sun Liancheng heard this, he was startled for a moment, then frowned and said:
"What's going on with the National Development and Reform Commission? Don't they discuss and greet us in advance when transferring people?"
"Secretary, I specifically asked about this, and the National Development and Reform Commission responded that if a department-level cadre is transferred, you will not be alarmed."
When Minister Wang said this, he paused again, changed the subject, and said:
"Before you called me, I asked someone to inquire. It is said that Mr. Wu personally ordered Qiao Donglai's job transfer. Moreover, Mr. Wu's secretary personally brought Qiao Donglai to Director Lai 's office!"
"I understand, then you should follow the regulations and handle the transfer procedures for Qiao Donglai."
When Sun Liancheng heard this, his pupils dilated slightly, and then he gave instructions calmly.
However--
When Minister Wang took the order and left, Sun Liancheng's face turned black.
He originally wanted to take Qiao Donglai under the knife and vent his anger on his son, but before he could do anything, Qiao Donglai was about to be transferred!
Moreover, Mr. Wu personally ordered this matter, and Secretary Zhou supervised the entire process. Sun Liancheng could not stop it at all!
Sun Liancheng sat with a dark face for a full ten minutes before his complexion improved a little.
He took out his cell phone and dialed his son Sun Hao's number.
Sun Hao received the call and asked impatiently:
"Dad, how did you deal with Qiao Donglai's mad dog?"
"It was Mr. Wu who personally gave the instruction that he be transferred to the Development and Reform Department, and the transfer order has already been issued."
"Wha...what?!"
Sun Hao was immediately stunned.
Originally, he had discussed with his father Sun Liancheng last night to demote Qiao Donglai to an ordinary clerk and send him to Jiangshu District Library as a librarian, but the result surprised him!
"Let's not talk about this now."
As if Sun Liancheng could imagine his son's shock, he changed the topic directly.
"I heard from your mother that you don't plan to go to the party tomorrow?"
"Dad, I definitely want to go. But, what happened last night. I have a head injury, and I'm afraid it will embarrass our Sun family."
"I heard that the little bastard from the Chen family will also go. So, you go with me and your grandfather as planned."
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"Since the person who beat you is the little bastard of the Chen family, then if you are beaten, it will not bring shame on the Sun family, but will become evidence of his tyranny! Not only do you have to go, but you also have to go there with gauze on your head. Everyone sees your injury!”
Sun Liancheng gave the answer indirectly, and then revealed the secret:
"Also, as far as I know, after your aunt heard that the Chen family's little bastard is going, she will also go there tomorrow."
"good!"
Sun Hao responded quickly. His headache suddenly stopped, his heart was no longer aggrieved, and he started to get excited.
because.
His aunt is also Zhao Tianming’s grandmother!
