Chapter eight hundred and sixty-two [where the interests lie] (1)
After saying that, Old Qiao stood up and walked upstairs. Only Qiao Zhenliang was sitting there alone in the living room. Looking at the blazing fire, he felt a flame burning in his chest. The flames swallowed his heart and made him feel uncomfortable. This time he left Pinghai, one to tell the situation of Ran, and the other to give himself some space. He was not ready to give up Pinghai. In Qiao Zhenliang's view, his son's affairs would not affect his power, but his father asked him to choose to avoid it, which changed Qiao Zhenliang's long-planned layout.
Dealing with Kong Yuan is only one of his ways of dealing with him. If Liang Zi and Kang Cheng are his weapons against Kong Yuan one day, then transferring Zhang Yang and Qin Qing to Dongjiang was also one of his plans. This arrangement was to restrain Song Huaiming. As long as he took action, Song Huaiming would inevitably be in chaos. Even now, he has absolute control in Pinghai. The father's call just now calmed down Qiao Zhenliang. Although he was unwilling to let go of his current power, reality must make choices. As Pinghai's current cabin, he certainly did not want Pinghai to be affected. Putting aside his political stance, he had to admit that Song Huaiming is very capable. Political struggle is extremely cruel. Starting from his son's suspected commercial crime, the political opponent hidden behind him took a series of sinister measures, and his real purpose was to himself.
Wen Guoquan also slept very late, and his son and daughter had returned to Kyoto. The family rarely reunited. Since Wen Haonan went to Xinjiang, the father and son rarely had the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk alone. Wen Guoquan found that his son had changed a lot and had recovered his deep and restrainedness before falling in love with Qin Mengmeng. Now Wen Haonan is most interested in politics. He made a cup of tea for his father and delivered it to him, and smiled and said, "Dad, you seem to be unhappy recently?"
Wen Guoquan smiled indifferently and said, "When did you start to learn to care about me?"
Wen Haonan smiled and said, "Actually, I have always cared about you, but I am not good at expressing myself. Besides, you are so busy all day long, how can you pay attention to me?"
Wen Guoquan smiled, and his son's words reminded him of Zhang Yang. He picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Are you still planning to go back to Xinjiang?"
Wen Haonan shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to go back, but when I came back this time, I gave up my mind when I saw my mother crying. I don't want others to say that I am unfilial."
Wen Guoquan said: "Then come back, I'll be floating outside all day long, your mother misses you, you're free, I'll be in trouble, I listen to her complaining day and night."
Wen Haonan was quite obedient: "Okay! But I haven't considered where to go yet."
Wen Guoquan said: "Where are the same people who are engaged in politics? Although you have been in Xinjiang for a while, after all, there is different from the mainland. I should find a place to temper it first."
Wen Haonan said: "Dad, why don't I go to Pinghai? I heard that Pinghai's politics is changing now, so you should be able to learn something when you go there."
Wen Guoquan frowned. He wondered why his son thought of Pinghai. He put down the teacup and said, "What I heard may not be credible."
Wen Haonan said: "I heard that Qiao Pengju is in great trouble. I am afraid that he will be involved in the Qiao family this time?"
Wen Guoquan said: "You care about this very much?"
Wen Haonan smiled embarrassedly: "There are some things that cannot be ignored." In fact, the most fashionable topic in the Kyoto Prince Circle recently is talking about the Qiao family.
Wen Guoquan understood why his son said this. Since the accident between Qiao Zhenliang, many people have pointed the finger at him. His son was the first person to talk about this in front of him. Wen Guoquan said: "Don't worry about things that you shouldn't care about in the future. Young people should still do things steadily!"
Wen Haonan nodded. He realized that it was difficult to communicate freely with his father. He immediately felt bored and stood up and said goodbye. Luo Huining came out after taking a shower and happened to see her son leaving. She came to Wen Guoquan: "What? Have you taught her son a lesson again?"
Wen Guoquan said: "It's nothing, I just chatted with him casually."
Luo Huining walked behind Wen Guoquan, massaged his shoulders, and whispered: "Guoquan, Haonan promised to come back."
"I know."
Luo Huining's hand paused for a moment: "Guoquan, you are very worried recently. Is it for the Qiao family's business?"
Wen Guoquan held the back of his wife's hand and whispered: "I didn't expect that such a situation would happen. Outsiders thought it was me who did it, but I took the blame for nothing."
Luo Huining smiled gently and said, "As long as you are walking straight, just let them say anything you like."
Wen Guoquan said: "I don't care what others say, I just don't want to be designed by others.
Luo Huining sighed softly, pressing her hands on Wen Guoquan's shoulder: "Many people in the Qiao family suspected that it is related to you."
Wen Guoquan asked back: "Is this good for me?"
Luo Huining said: "In everyone's eyes, the future competition will unfold between you and Fu Xianliang. Fu Xianliang has received strong support from Mr. Qiao, and it is very likely that you will feel resentful to Mr. Qiao because of this matter." Luo Huining said that what she said was the opinion that others might have, and it has nothing to do with herself. In her heart, she unconditionally believes in her husband. She believes that Wen Guoquan has always been a principled person.
Wen Guoquan said: "In fact, the easier it is to see in the world, the more it is often not the truth. Many people think that this position will arise between me and Fu Xianliang, but I never thought that Fu Xianliang would be my opponent. I believe Fu Xianliang himself knew about this."
Luo Huining had never heard her husband show such confidence. Her hand left Wen Guoquan's shoulders and walked around to the sofa and sat down next to Wen Guoquan.
Wen Guoquan said: "Although we do not recognize the existence of so-called families, they actually exist in reality. In order to ensure their family interests, we must have a place on the political stage in the future. Therefore, every family, or every group, needs a spokesperson for political interests."
Luo Huining said: "I understand all these principles, so the Qiao family chose Fu Xianliang as the spokesperson for their interests?"
Wen Guoquan asked back: "Is Fu Xianliang the best friend of the Qiao family's interests?"
Luo Huining was stunned. She immediately understood that it was not Fu Xianliang who could truly represent the interests of the Qiao family, nor could it be anyone else. It was only Qiao Zhenliang. Old Qiao supported Fu Xianliang. Perhaps it was just looking for Taoist to secretly cross Chen Cang. The person he really wanted to support was his son.
Wen Guoquan said: "In more than a year, many changes can happen. For a person with a perfect resume and a solid background, nothing that happens to him will not be called a miracle."
Luo Huining bit her lip, and the political changes were far beyond her imagination.
Wen Guoquan picked up the teacup and drank the tea clean: "Actually, I don't want Haonan to take this path. I don't know how hard and hard work it takes to go to where he will become Ling Jueding."
Luo Huining whispered: "Guoquan, why do you have to persevere?"
Wen Guoquan's eyes revealed a firm and faithful light: "The greatest sense of accomplishment of a person is that he can change the world. The goal I have worked hard for throughout my life is to stand in that position. Only in that way can I implement my political views. I, Fu Xianliang, Qiao Zhenliang, and even every possible competitor, I believe that everyone sticks to the belief of being abstinent, and everyone is a qualified member. No matter who finally takes this position, he will treat our people kindly, but I believe that I am stronger than them! I will do better than them!"
Luo Huining held her husband's arm: "Guoquan, in fact, they may also think so in their hearts."
Wen Guoquan couldn't help laughing: "But I didn't expect that someone pointed the gun at the Qiao family in advance this time, and things became more complicated."
Luo Huining said: "Since that's the case, why don't you talk to Mr. Qiao with a heart-warming explanation and explain the misunderstanding clearly?"
Wen Guoquan said: "Huining, I can see through things. Do you think Mr. Qiao can't see through? The only thing he can't see through is the public around him. Mr. Qiao's heart will be clearer than anyone else."
Luo Huining said: "But Qiao Pengju really caused a lot of trouble this time, and the reputation of the Qiao family was greatly affected."
Wen Guoquan said: "This is a chess between experts and a dispute over interests between families. Although Qiao Pengju's affairs were a big deal, this child may not be really going to be a problem."
Luo Huining said: "But he is suspected of illegal fundraising and is suspected of bribing Hong Kong political officials."
Wen Guoquan smiled indifferently and said, "The evidence has always been two-sided. It can prove that you are guilty and prove that you are innocent. Qiao Pengju's trouble this time is just an excuse for others to attack the Qiao family. If he is wrong, his fault is Qiao Zhenliang's son."
Luo Huining couldn't help but think of her son from this sentence, and she took a breath.
Wen Guoquan said: "So the Qiao family will definitely give in."
Luo Huining said: "You mean...
Wen Guoquan said: "Qiao Zhenliang will retreat from Pinghai's position in a very important way. This time, his retreat is to resolve the crisis in front of their family."
Luo Huining said: "Will the Qiao family be willing to suffer a loss?"
Wen Guoquan shook his head: "The Qiao family will give in, but things will never end there."
Luo Huining said: "Does this matter sound to you?" What she cares most about is her husband.
Wen Guoquan said: "Working together under the sky, God wants to rain and thunder, who can protect himself?"
Luo Huining couldn't help but sigh again: "National Quan, I feel less and less secure."
Wen Guoquan said, "It's endless fun to fight with others!" He leaned his hands behind his head, leaned on the sofa, and smiled and said, "I'm thinking about whether to congratulate Huaiming in advance?"
