Chapter 25 Old Knowledge and Relationship Network
(Add a new chapter, thank you for your support and support for the new book during the new book. Let me say one: This new book will be launched, and I hope everyone can support the genuine reading.)
Chen Huai didn't know that he had gotten a cheap "brother-in-law" inexplicably. This cheap "brother-in-law" was also one of the legendary four young masters of Donghua.
The morning's plan was disrupted and he didn't want to go back to the swimming pool, Chen Huai went to Xinhua Bookstore. He didn't see the Chinese-French dictionary, so he was lucky to find an English-French dictionary. Although it would be more difficult to read the dozen French monographs, it was better than nothing.
Back at the Tongzi Building, Chen Huai knocked on Xiong Wenbin's house. Xiong Wenbin's lover Bai Sumei opened the door. Chen Huai bought a "wild white strip" on the street and handed it over, saying, "Teacher Bai, but coincidentally, it's hard to see such a big wild white strip in Donghua City over the years, right?"
Xiong Wenbin was reading a book in the room, holding his glasses, and seeing the wild white ridge scales handed over by Chen Huai slightly yellow. Although he had been away from the water for a while, the fish's tail was still swung vigorously, and the fish's body felt beautiful when he looked at it.
Wild white strips have long disappeared in Zhujiang in recent years. Fishing boats can only catch some of them when they are lucky. They are very popular in the market. Such a fish weighs pounds, so it is afraid it will cost two or three hundred yuan to buy them.
"I saw someone selling this fish with a basin on Xiaowei Street. It would be a pity if I didn't buy it. But after paying it, I found that I could make fish, just treat it as my food expenses today. How about it?" Chen Huai smiled with a smile on his face.
"I'm afraid I'll do something bad if I let it go." Bai Sumei was afraid that Chen Huai would stare at Dailing, so she refused now.
Chen Huai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't explain to Bai Sumei that he was just eyeing her husband. Such an explanation would make people more cautious. Chen Huai blocked Bai Sumei's door and did not leave. If such a small obstacle could not be broken, he was thinking about what to do. He just stood there quietly and smiled with a saliva: "Teacher Bai, look, why don't you spend this money yesterday? Or just try it, can't you put the fish back to Zhujiang?"
Although Bai Sumei is in her forties, she is still full of charm between her eyebrows and eyes. Xiong Dailing and her sister's faces were inherited by Bai Sumei, and she was so beautiful.
"I can try it," Xiong Wenbin said at this time, and reached out to take the fish from the door, "But we have to deal with it well, I'm afraid I can't wait at noon..."
"That night, call Section Chief Zhao again," Chen Huai said, "At noon, Teacher Bai just can give me a bowl of rice."
Seeing her husband take the fish next, Bai Sumei didn't want to say anything, but closed the door and complained: "Aren't you afraid that the thief would worry about the things at home?"
"What valuable things are there at home that are so valuable to remember," Xiong Wenbin said, "You put this fish in clear water and raise it first..."
"What's wrong with you? I went out for a walk in the morning and was blinded by what I was thinking. Is this kid staring at your daughter? Are you willing Dailing to cheat on this kid..." Bai Sumei said angrily.
"Where do you want to go?" Xiong Wenbin said with a slight irritation. "Chen Huai's mind is not on Dailing. He has other thoughts, and you don't understand these."
"What do he thinks? He can still focus on you. Can he still hope you can do it for him?" Bai Sumei said, "He gave two bottles of Moutai yesterday and the fish today. It is better than giving it to you. You have been unable to protect yourself in the past few years. What can you do for him?"
When Xiong Wenbin was the director of the city steel factory in his early years, although he was quite upright, the people who gave gifts at home were still busy. Xiong Wenbin also knew that these days, he could not be disgraceful. As long as he did not violate the principles, he would not refuse. At that time, the family was also very lively.
In the past two years, he was promoted to the Political Research Office as deputy director. Although he was still a deputy department-level cadre, his party was completely neglected. Although Donghua's economy is not good, although department-level officials cannot compare with the city leaders who live in villas, how many are not senior and senior? Only Xiong Wenbin, who are in power, cannot even live under the same roof with his daughter and son-in-law.
Although Bai Sumei understands her husband and is tolerant, she will inevitably feel a little resentful. At this time, this resentment is mixed with her vigilance towards Chen Huai and her protection for Dailing, and she vents her feelings towards Xiong Wenbin.
"You comrades have advantages, but sometimes they are unreasonable." Xiong Wenbin didn't treat her with her husband, and deliberately taught her a lesson with a serious tone.
Bai Sumei gave her husband annoyed and said, "Where are women's comrades? I went out to buy vegetables in the morning. I heard that the city's personnel adjustments were to adjust you to the Women's Federation. You can deal with women all day long as you wish. Remember me, I have been with you for half a lifetime, and I didn't think about enjoying any blessings with you. I pulled you three with shit and pee, and tied your waistband tightly to me..."
"Well said it well, where have you been?" Xiong Wenbin put his face down, "Hezhe, do you really want me to transfer to the Women's Federation?" He pulled his wife's shoulders over and comforted him, "I heard some news in the morning. This Chen Huai is far more than what I see on the surface. If I don't want to kick the Women's Federation and the Disabled Persons' Federation, I hope it may be entrusted to him..."
"What ability does he have? You actually expect him to be the official for you..." Bai Sumei was very surprised. Seeing her husband unhappy, she explained, "Oh, I don't care about your affairs, I will cooperate with you. But no matter what, think about how I cheated you, this poor boy, you can't sell Dailing..."
"Well said it well, you are talking nonsense," Xiong Wenbin was both angry and funny, "In this family, I will spoil you as a younger one; am I willing to give up?"
"..." Bai Sumei's old face turned red and she cursed, "I'm not serious."
*********************
Chen Huai had lunch at Xiong Wenbin's house and read twenty or thirty pages in the afternoon. He felt that his French foundation was too poor and he couldn't stand it. So he borrowed a bicycle and spent more than an hour in the streets and alleys of Donghua. Then he came back to play chess with Xiong Wenbin.
Chen Huai used to be in the city steel factory, but he couldn't turn it over. He knew very little about the relationship network of the upper-level Donghua City. He also knew some popular news from the four young masters of Donghua, Zhou, Gu, Gao, Chen, Zhao, and Yu, but the more specific and more complex nepotism relationship between the upper-class powerful people, especially how they used the relationship between officials and businessmen to make a fortune.
Chen Huai was arrogant and regarded the local powerful people in Donghua City, who did not shit, as local buns, and did not bother to understand and contact them.
As a result, Chen Huai had a very shallow understanding of the local relationship network in Donghua at this time.
Tan Qiping is about to come to Donghua to serve, and he does not understand the nepotism of such nepotism. Even if he takes the authority of the municipal party secretary, he will be very difficult to take any major actions. Chen Mingde's experience in Donghua is a lesson.
Tan Qiping entrusted this important task to him. Chen Huai wanted to have a deeper understanding of the complex relationship network of local powerful people in Donghua, and it was the most suitable to find Xiong Wenbin.
If Xiong Wenbin hadn't been too principled, he would have been a heavyweight in this circle at this time.
If Donghua's officialdom is normal, not pathological, it is normal to be a county party secretary or direct deputy mayor with Xiong Wenbin's ability and achievements in running a city steel factory.
Principle, principle... Chen Huai felt bitter when he thought of this word. If he hadn't been too principled and was unwilling to be with Gu Tong and others, how could he have been unable to make a comeback after so many years?
Get out of the fucking principle!
Chen Huai vented his swearing, but he had to admit that even if he changed his identity, he still couldn't do something too despicable. I don't know if Lao Xiong's thoughts have changed after sitting on the bench for two or three years, but he also thought that everyone has their own limitations and cannot be broken through so easily.
Chen Huai returned to Tongzi Tower and saw that Zhao Dong and his fiancée had already come.
A "wild white strip" weighing a pound is not enough for everyone to get between their teeth.
Xiong Wenbin, who has always disliked the fun, unexpectedly asked his wife to hold a banquet and invite more people to join in the fun.
Zhao Dong didn't have to go to work today. When he received a call, he brought his fiancée Xiao Mingxia over to help him very early in the afternoon. However, after the others arrived, he just sat and chatted with Xiong Wenbin and sent his girlfriend to the kitchen to help.
Xiao Mingxia is a flower in the city's steel factory, so Chen Huai is naturally familiar with it. Zhao Dong, who is so arrogant, dragged Xiao Sanshi and was not married. When he saw Xiao Mingxia entering the factory, he tried his best to catch up. Although the two were not married yet, seeing Xiao Mingxia's breasts and butts round, he knew that they had already been rolling away in the bed.
After Chen Huai came over, Xiong Wenbin took out the chessboard and said that his eldest daughter Xiong Daini, son-in-law Zhou Ming, and another old subordinate of his city steel factory, Yang Haipeng, were coming to have supper.
Xiong Wenbin's son-in-law Zhou Ming also left the city steel factory; however, when Chen Huai was in the city steel factory, he had a closer relationship with Yang Haipeng and Zhao Dong.
With Xiong Wenbin's transfer and subsequent loss of power, Chen Huai and Zhao Dong continued to stay in the city steel factory. Yang Haipeng was so hot that he couldn't stand the idleness. He took the initiative to leave two years ago and now he has opened a building materials store.
Zhou Ming was dating Xiong Wenbin's eldest daughter, so Xiong Wenbin used the remaining ability to transfer him from the municipal steel mill to the Municipal Planning Commission. However, Zhou Ming was just an ordinary clerk in the Municipal Planning Commission, and Xiong Wenbin could not help anymore. He married Xiong Wenbin's eldest daughter Xiong Daini, and even failed to get a house.
Yang Haipeng and Zhou Ming still have to wait until they come. Chen Huai and Xiong Wenbin play chess while talking about Donghua's customs and secularity.
Xiong Wenbin is also very familiar with the various stories about Donghua's upper-level relationship network. He said it, but Zhao Dong, who was standing next to him, was surprised: Why did Lao Xiong change someone else? Have you never seen him talk about these gossips before?
Chen Huai was also very familiar with Xiong Wenwu, so he naturally knew that his reaction was different from usual. He deliberately talked about many topics in depth, knowing in his heart: Lao Xiong saw something.
But if you think about it carefully, the news that Tan Qiping will be in Donghua will not spread so early. Although there will be some rumors about Chen Mingde's death, there will not be too many people who can really figure it out, and they are not unlucky. I think Lao Xiong should have seen the traces of pearl silk in other aspects.
