Because of Zhang Yang's arrival, Mr. Qiao was particularly happy today. He specially asked Qiao Pengfei to open two bottles of Maotai aged wine for 30 years. He made an exception and drank two taels. Qiao Zhenliang completely quit drinking. Although he used diabetes as an excuse in the past, he still drank one or two cups when he was happy. Now he doesn't say much. In comparison, Mr. Qiao said more. He asked about Pinghai's situation and Binhai's reform situation. Zhang Yang patiently answered one by one.

After lunch, Mr. Qiao and Zhang Yang chatted for a while, got up to rest. The one-hour lunch break every day was unshakable for him. However, Mr. Qiao asked Zhang Yang to wait for him, and said that after he woke up, he would accompany him to a place.

Zhang Yang then had the opportunity to talk alone with Qiao Zhenliang.

Qiao Zhenliang asked the nanny to brew a pot of Biluochun and sat with Zhang Yang in the green courtyard, enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine. Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and looked at Qiao Zhenliang and smiled.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Daguanren said: "I laugh because I am nervous. When I see you this time, I feel that you have changed a little."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Where has changed?"

Zhang Yang said: "Your authority is even more powerful, and I feel a sense of oppression in front of you."

Qiao Zhenliang laughed. The boy still hadn't changed and his words were still so direct. He nodded and said, "I also feel that I have become much more serious. I really have nothing to be happy about recently. Pengju went to the United States, Mengyuan went to Pinghai, and your aunt Meng left again. I have become a lonely man now. I lack communication with the surroundings. People are prone to becoming dull. I am not a good official, but dull."

Zhang Yang praised: "Politicians like you will never be able to connect with the word "未". Even if you close your eyes, you will be more far-sighted than most people."

Qiao Zhenliang laughed, then shook his head and said, "I am not a politician." He paused and said, "Did you come to the capital this time to pay my birthday to Mr. Xue?"

Zhang Yang said: "Yes!"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Mr. Xue's birthday was very big this time, and he had a look of his past style."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I heard that it was Xue Shilun who was in charge. Mr. Xue disagreed at first, but later agreed."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded and said, "With the influence of the Xue family, holding a birthday banquet is nothing."

Zhang Yang said: "Are you going?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I have received the invitation from the Xue family, so I naturally have to go there." From his words, we can tell that he is not interested in Mr. Xue's birthday, and he is only for sympathy.

After Qiao Zhenliang finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes, as if he thought the sunlight in the air was too dazzling. After a while, he said: "I heard that Gong Qiwei went to Beigang."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Successful Jiang Honggang as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Jiang Honggang was found to have some problems in the economy."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I don't have a deep impression of Jiang Honggang. Gong Qiwei is a very capable person. You worked well with him when you were in Nancy."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's okay. We can chat."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Pinghai's moves this time are not small. I remember that Xiang Cheng and Gong Huanshan's team have always had a tacit understanding. Huaiming and others are going to implement changes in Beigang."

Zhang Yang said: "I only know that Deputy Secretary Gong is going to take over."

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "This bone in Beigang is not easy to chew."

Zhang Yang was stunned. Qiao Zhenliang would not say this for no reason, and he has been in charge of Pinghai for many years and has a deep understanding of the leadership of Beigang. Zhang Yang said: "Why does Minister Qiao say that?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Huaiming has made a good move. Let you, the vanguard, go to Binhai, first open up the situation and occupy the base, and then send Gong Qiwei, a party representative, to expand the results and take over the command."

In fact, almost everyone has seen this matter, Zhang Yang said: "Boy is so foolish. I hope Minister Qiao will give me more advice."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "The fundamental thing about building a clear brain in the officialdom is to maintain a clear brain. Family, friendship, and love are not enough to be an excuse to change your will. Only in this way can you make a correct judgment. You have to face choices in the officialdom at all times. The traditional view of right and wrong in your heart is not applicable in the scope of the officialdom. If you want to keep moving upward, you must find a position that is more favorable to yourself. Before taking a step, you must choose the next place to settle down."

Qiao Zhenliang's words were very obscure, and at first glance, it seemed very empty, but after careful consideration, Zhang Yang found that he seemed to remind himself that he should not blindly follow politics. Even if Song Huaiming is his father-in-law, he should keep a clear head.

Zhang Yang said: "I don't have higher expectations now. I just want to build Binhai well and build the Binhai Free Trade Zone well. I won't think about other things for the time being."

Qiao Zhenliang said, "It would be best if you can really think like this." He looked at the time and said, "I have to leave. I made an appointment with my friend in the afternoon to play basketball."

After Qiao Zhenliang left, Zhang Yang sat in the yard for a while, silently recalling what Qiao Zhenliang said. When he reached the level of Qiao Zhenliang, he would not say anything casually. At the height he stood, many things he saw were impossible to see. Is he not optimistic about the political reform in Beigang?

After getting up, Mr. Qiao called Zhang Yang to get in the car together. Mr. Qiao did not use his own special car, but asked Zong Sheng to drive Qiao Pengfei's car. This was related to his usual low-key temperament. When he came to the car, Mr. Qiao said, "I have an old friend who wants to see you."

Zhang Yang said: "Who?"

Old Qiao smiled and said, "You will know when you meet."

Zhang Daren followed Mr. Qiao to the Green Yin Valley Hot Spring, and only then did he realize that the person Mr. Qiao took him to see was Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou was also a prominent figure in the political arena. Although he retired, the influence of the Zhou family in politics has even surpassed that of the Qiao family. Not to mention the distance, there is a current member of the Standing Committee in the next generation, and Zhou Xingmin, the third generation of the Zhou family, is now the governor of Pinghai and the most favored young and strong cadre.

It is something that Zhang Daguan dared not even dream of being able to soak in a hot spring with two powerful political masters. This is a great opportunity to be contaminated with official spirit.

Mr. Qiao smiled and said to Mr. Zhou: "You should have seen Zhang Yang. My method of nourishing qi is to learn from him."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "I remember, Zhang Yang, are you and Xingguo sworn brothers?"

Official Zhang nodded hurriedly: "Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

Mr. Qiao got off the hot spring pool and waved to Zhang Yang who was standing by the pool, saying, "You come down too!"

It was the first time that Zhang Daguanren was so distorted that it was more difficult to expose his body in front of the two elders than in public. The eyes of these two old men were too sharp. Although Zhang Daguanren was still wearing a pair of swimming trunks, he still felt that he had seen everything by the two old men.

I took a hot spring bath with the two old men, but I heard Mr. Zhou say, "My health care doctor doesn't recommend me to practice these things."

Mr. Qiao said: "Your health care doctors are all Western medicine. I don't say that they are a bit respectful to foreign countries and deny traditional Chinese medicine."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "You still like to put hats on others so much. They have medical foundations and are internationally prestigious in terms of nutrition and health care."

Mr. Qiao said: "No matter how much health care medicine is taken, it is better to maintain health."

Mr. Zhou said: "It's not that I am superstitious about Western medicine, but I always feel that many of the methods of regulating breathing and nourishing qi in traditional Chinese medicine are too mysterious." He looked at Zhang Yang with a smile and said: "Do you think so?"

Zhang Yang said: "In fact, it makes sense to regulate breathing and nourish qi. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have different theories. However, no matter which kind of medicine, it will not deny the role of emotions in treatment. A person's emotions can affect his physical condition. If his emotions change, the endocrine system will respond according to his changes. As the saying goes, the self-regulation of the human body, each of us will have this. For example, if the emotions are depressed and self-regulated, it will not cause great harm. If an emotional disorder is imbalanced, it may cause depression or mania. Regulating breathing and nourishing qi has a considerable effect on sootheing a person's emotions."

Mr. Zhou said: "I heard that the so-called breathing and nourishing qi is just a spiritual hint."

Zhang Yang said: "Does Mr. Zhou believe in the existence of martial arts?"

Mr. Zhou said: "I believe, but I don't believe how powerful martial arts are. I have never seen any masters in martial arts novels."

Old Qiao smiled and said, "You are a dialectical materialist, and you still like dialectics so much when you are old. Zhang Yang is a master, and you will be able to see his martial arts another day."

Old Zhou smiled and said, "Okay!"

Official Zhang knew that Mr. Zhou believed in Western medicine more, so there was no need to argue with him. He accompanied the two old men to take a hot spring bath for a while, put on his clothes and walked out.

Mr. Qiao suggested playing chess. Several people changed their clothes. Mr. Qiao asked his driver Zong Sheng to prepare first. He and Mr. Zhou and Zhang Yang walked over.

In addition to the three of them, two guards followed behind him.

Walking on the road, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhou talked about the chess game. Zhang Yang found that their relationship was good. I remember the rumors that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Qiao were not in harmony, and it seemed that they were just rumors.

When I approached the chess club, I saw two cars in front of me rubbing each other. One of them was obviously Mr. Qiao. A group of people gathered around me, and there seemed to be a quarrel. One of them seemed to be Zong Sheng. Mr. Qiao frowned and said, "Zhang Yang, go over and take a look!"

Zhang Yang walked over quickly and found that Zong Sheng was indeed there, surrounded by several men. Seeing that the men looked like they had some identities, one of them pointed at Zong Sheng and said, "You can say it again just now!"

Zong Sheng said: "You must pay for the car!"

A man looked at Zong Sheng and said, "Do you know who we are?"

Zong Sheng said: "I care who you are? If you shave my car, you must pay for it!"
