Mr. Qiao stopped and a hint of anger appeared on his face: "When did you learn to go around in circles? If you have something to say, don't go around with me."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't be angry. Didn't I say that I'm here to ask you to help me with ideas today?"

Mr. Qiao came to sit under the parasol. Zhang Yang didn't dare to sit and stood beside him.

Old Qiao said: "What are you doing while standing stupidly? Sit down for me."

Zhang Yang sat down next to him.

Old Qiao looked at his eyes and seemed to have always seen his heart: "Tell me, what happened?"

Zhang Yang said: "The house that Mr. Tianchi gave me is about to be demolished. It is said that the future plan of the scenic spot just happened to enclose the land."

Mr. Qiao said: "This kind of thing is normal. You are a party member and a state cadre. When personal interests and collective interests conflict, you should understand how to do it. I don't need to teach you such a simple truth, right?"

Zhang Yang said: "I understand the truth. If something happens to others, I will definitely say that personal affairs are small and collective affairs are big. But now this incident really happens to me, but I am a little confused. Mr. Qiao, think about it, Mr. Tianchi is so kind to me, and he didn't give me so many students, so he gave me the house. He spent his later years in Xiangshan Villa. If he had spirit in Tian, ​​I would definitely hope that Xiangshan Villa will be preserved well. But now, it will be demolished for no reason. I feel quite frustrated and I always feel sorry for Mr. Tianchi."

Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "It is normal to have this kind of thought. You are a young man who values ​​feelings. Xiangshan Villa is not just a house for you, but also your nostalgia for Mr. Tianchi."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, every time I go back to that place, I have an illusion that I always feel that Mr. Tianchi is still alive."

Old Qiao said: "Nothing in this world is eternal. Everything has a deadline. This is true for people, plants and houses. If you think through the truth, you won't feel so entangled."

Zhang Yang said: "I understand the truth, but I just can't figure it out."

Old Qiao smiled but said nothing.

Zhang Yang said again: "To be honest, I went to find Zhao Rooting today, who is the daughter of Zhao Tianyue, the executive vice mayor of Beijing."

Although Zhang Yang didn't say what he was going to do, Mr. Qiao already understood that Zhang Yang wanted to save the country in a curve and change the development plan of the scenic spot through this relationship.

Zhang Yang said: "But Zhao Tianyue refused to help me."

Mr. Qiao said: "I remember that Xiao Luo seems to be a student of Mr. Tianchi. Why do you want to be far away?" Mr. Qiao has already guessed the mystery.

Zhang Yang knew that there was no need to hide anything in front of Mr. Qiao, so he sighed and said, "Maybe my godmother is not suitable to express her opinion on this matter."

Mr. Qiao said: "Why?"

Zhang Yang said, "I don't know!" He lied about this sentence. In fact, he had guessed the reason. The trouble encountered by Xiangshan Villa this time was caused by the Wen family, and some people wanted to use this incident to cause a storm.

Old Qiao did not continue to ask questions. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to come forward?"

Zhang Yang said: "I never thought that such a small thing would make you always come forward and beat mosquitoes with cannons."

Old Qiao laughed: "You may not be able to hit mosquitoes with cannons. You mean I may not be able to solve this problem."

Zhang Yang said: "Old Qiao, I really didn't expect you to come forward. I just told you about this and let you always help me analyze it."

Mr. Qiao said: "Most people are afraid of trouble finding themselves, but you are asking for trouble."

Official Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I will never be able to change this bad habit in my life."

Mr. Qiao said: "You are not wrong, why do you need to change it?"

When Qiao Zhenliang came back, Zhang Yang had just left, and the two of them just missed it. Qiao Zhenliang had been having a meeting in the capital these two days and was about to return to Jinhai tomorrow. Seeing his father fiddling with the stone he had just obtained, Qiao Zhenliang couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, I've gained something again today!"

Old Qiao said calmly: "Zhang Yang has just arrived, and this stone was given to me by him."

Qiao Zhenliang came over to see the stone. Although he was not very interested in this, he knew a little more about it and laughed: "Lingbi Stone, I will ask someone to help you with a base."

Old Qiao nodded.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Zhang Yang hasn't left yet? I heard that he and Huai Ming's daughter have reunited?"

Old Qiao said: "He was in some trouble."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "What's the trouble?"

Veteran Qiao said what he heard from Zhang Yang just now. Qiao Zhenliang did not show much surprise. He whispered: "Next year is a critical year, and some people will naturally start to move. Wen Guoquan has been in the limelight in the past two years, and the superiors are optimistic about him."

Old Qiao said: "The final winner will be between him and Xianliang."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded and said, "Fu Xianliang has only begun to be noticed in recent years." He smiled and said, "You should have made a decision in your heart."

Old Qiao smiled indifferently and said, "I, a retired old man, don't want to interfere in the current affairs at all, so why bother with the people? I retreated and quietly enjoyed my blessings. I don't care about any other matters or care about anything else."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "You are not as good as Uncle Zhou in this regard. He still does not forget to care about national affairs."

Old Qiao laughed. He heard that his son's words did not have much praise. He stood up, rubbed his waist and said, "As old, it is old. Although he is unwilling to accept it, he must recognize the reality. No one can always be above the peak, and no one can."

Qiao Zhenliang respectfully helped his father to sit down on the rattan chair beside him, returned to the room, brewed tea in his father's favorite purple clay pot, and then delivered it to his father's hands.

Old Qiao picked up the purple clay pot and sipped the tea ceremony: "Who do you think is stronger than Xianliang or Guoquan?"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled, and his father kept saying that he didn't want to take care of political affairs anymore, but he still couldn't do it. Qiao Zhenliang thought for a while and said, "I really can't tell which of the two is better, but I'm not as good as them."

Mr. Qiao said: "What if I had to compare them?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Xianliang is more affinity, but his courage is not as good as national power. The two really can't tell who is stronger and who is weak. One is suitable for maintaining the business, while the other is more suitable for creating a situation. As for the current complex situation at home and abroad, national power should be slightly stronger."

Old Qiao looked at his son, and his eyes showed a light of appreciation. He whispered: "I am very pleased, you can look at the problem fairly." Speaking of which, Fu Xianliang was also a cadre promoted by Old Qiao, and he can be regarded as his disciple.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "The affairs of the Wen family have nothing to do with Xianliang. With his character, he would not do such things."

Mr. Qiao said: "An official has experienced countless tests since he entered the officialdom. People from the outside world see that there are layers of darkness in the officialdom, and what are some people saying? If you want to be like a fish in water in the officialdom, you must first understand the thick black science. I think this is simply nonsense!" Mr. Qiao paused for a moment, then said: "If you want to go for a long time in the officialdom, you must be open and honest. Throughout history, the four words "open and upright" above the heads of officials are not a good example. It is to remind us that we must be honest and honest in our lives and work, and we must be honest and open.

Only in this way can you dare to stand up and do things, and be worthy of the people of the world. Being a person is not easy, and being an official is even more difficult. The bigger the official, the more cautious we should be. There will always be countless eyes behind an official, and you will be staring at you. If you do good deeds and take people's livelihood as your responsibility, these eyes will become your pillar. When you are wronged and treated unfairly, these people behind you will be your confidence and your support. If you do bad things, these eyes will become countless sharp arrows, which will shoot you up all the holes."

Qiao Zhenliang was humbly taught: "Dad, I will always remember your words."

Old Qiao said: "I don't like the power struggle within the officialdom because it is an internal friction that will damage the strength of our party. However, this is another reality. The power struggle from the top to the grassroots level is almost interspersed in every part of the system. If I say that all of us are united and united, it must be that I will tell lies with my eyes open."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "The power struggle between ancient and modern times, China and abroad cannot be resolved. Relatively speaking, our country is still pretty good."

Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "When you are in the arena, even if your personality hates fighting, even if you want to be kind to others, when others hold on to the death and fight with you, you have to fight, not only for yourself, but also for the people. Some people are not capable enough, but are full of fighting spirit. It seems that they were born to fight. If you don't fight with him, he will not understand you as magnanimous and put the overall situation first, but think that you are afraid of him in your bones, so he will not treat him with courtesy, but will gain a better position."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, you are talking very fiercely today."

Old Qiao laughed and said, "I have already stepped down. What's the point of saying a few words? What can it affect?"

Qiao Zhenliang remembered the question his father asked him just now and whispered: "Dad, which one do you prefer between Guoquan and Xianliang?"

Mr. Qiao answered the question illusion: "What is the most important thing when people walk?"

Qiao Zhenliang thought about it and then replied in a low voice: "Balance!"

Mr. Qiao expressed satisfaction with his son's answer, and smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, balance, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. You must achieve balance. Only when your body is balanced can you not fall, and the same is true for the country."

Qiao Zhenliang seemed to have some understanding: "Dad, are you going to talk to the Wen family?"
