Chapter 97 Thought Struggle
The meal was enjoyable. During the meal, Su Beiwang asked Chen Xiao about the situation in Xinghai Province from time to time. After all, he started his career there, and at the same time he also took a look at the situation where his in-law Chen Yuanding was there.
Although the capital has already determined that the second-generation Chen family's direct descendant has gained a foothold in Yunjiang City, Su Beiwang even wants to know whether Chen Yuanding can successfully join the provincial party committee after the New Year, which is closely related to him and the old Su family!
Mr. Su remained silent, but his flashing eyes from time to time still showed that these conversations were heard in his heart, and his eyes at Chen Xiao also changed a little.
Seeing that the son-in-law of the Su family answered appropriately and was able to point out the core of the situation in a concise manner, not only Mr. Su and Su Beiwang, but also the surprise on Qiao Huijie and Su Dong's faces became increasingly intense.
Is this the unruly and arrogant young master at that time?!
However, Su Jin was still quiet. Not only did she have no interest in these politics at all... she also didn't want to get involved. Secondly, she was not surprised by Chen Xiao's changes.
After a while, Su Beiwang received a call and stood up first to say goodbye, saying that something happened temporarily and that he had to deal with it.
After all, it is the Spring Festival travel rush now, and the national transportation and passenger network is in a state of infinite tension. If one is not handled properly, it will cause trouble and it will not be neglected at all!
"Chen Xiao, accompany me into the inner room to have some tea."
Mr. Su said lightly.
Chen Xiao knew that the old man had something to say to him, so he quickly helped him walk towards the inner room. At the same time, he smiled at Qiao Huijie who was preparing to make tea and said, "Mom, I brought some tea from Yunjiang and put it in a bag."
Qiao Huijie immediately smiled. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she felt. She thought so thoughtfully. You must know that the old man liked the most in his life was the tea over there.
After the hot tea was brought up, Mr. Su smelled the fragrance of tea, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out and said with a smile: "It's rare that you have this idea. I still remember bringing me tea leaves. After drinking it for so many years, Yunjiang's tea is the most mellow."
"It was Su Jin reminded me, and I remembered it now, otherwise I would have forgotten it."
Mr. Su took a sip of the tea and became more and more beautiful. Then he glanced at the closed door and whispered: "Is there any cigarette?"
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that the old man called himself in specially. Could it be that he was just to ask for cigarettes?
"Grandpa, your body..."
Chen Xiao was embarrassed for a while. He had heard that Mr. Su is now under the care of his mother-in-law and a health care worker, and strictly limits smoking.
"What are you afraid of? Only our grandfather and grandson knew that they had brought me tea, and they couldn't even bear to give up a cigarette?"
Seeing the old man's eyebrows rise, Chen Xiao laughed and cried, and felt that the calm ex-leader core was quite naughty at this moment.
However, these words invisibly brought the two closer together!
It was really hard to refuse Chen Xiao had to hand over a cigarette. After lit it for him, he picked up one, and the grandfather and grandson began to suck in the house.
"I have heard Fang Lei tell you about your situation these days. I am very pleased with it. I have done a good job, especially seeing Xiao Jin like this, I finally put down the biggest stone in my heart."
Seeing the old man's feelings, Chen Xiao felt a little nervous and smiled seriously: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will treat Su Jin well. As long as I am here, I will never annoy anyone or things!"
The old man smiled, his eyes became more peaceful, he patted the back of his hand gently, and said, "I will feel relieved with you. Don't let her suffer grievances, ah?"
He paused and said, "Of course, I hope you can achieve something. You can't just be satisfied with the small achievements you have achieved now. As the saying goes, stand high and look far, but even if you don't stand high now, you have to look at the long-term. Especially when you are doing news, you have to distinguish right from wrong. You must not only look at superficial articles when looking at things. You understand what I mean, right?"
Chen Xiao nodded without hesitation. The old man was engaged in publicity work for several years, but he said all the words of gold, stone and jade!
Then, the old man asked about his work situation and finally said meaningfully: "You have laid a good foundation now. How about it? Do you want to walk up again?"
Chen Xiao's eyes were fixed, knowing that the old man was asking if he was planning to officially start his career. After all, the Su family has a huge relationship in the publicity system. With his current identity, perhaps as long as the old man calls, he can get support!
But to be honest, Chen Xiao is not here at the moment and has never thought about entering the career of the officialdom. First, he really doesn't like the constraints and intrigues in the officialdom. Second, he now enjoys the leisurely life of staying on radio and television stations. Especially, the stage of media news can maximize his advantages, not only provide assistance to his father, but also plays an important role in the purpose that has been buried deep in his heart!
But these thoughts cannot be expressed at the moment, and he smiled and said, "Grandpa, I am still young now, and these things are not urgent. After all, my dad is still working in the city. Maybe he will go to the province next time. My son can't be squeezed with him, right?"
The capital has long stated that relatives are prohibited from working in the same place. Now that I am just a small producer in a provincial and Taiwanese public institution, it’s nothing. If I really go on a career in the officialdom, I will be a taboo!
"And now Su Jin has a stake in the provincial platform, unless you really want to break up us and move me to another place."
The last joking sentence also made the old man think clearly, and was satisfied with Chen Xiao's full thoughts. He nodded and said, "That's right, you don't have to hurry at your age... Forget it, wait a little longer."
When Sui dispelled the old man's idea, Chen Xiao was about to breathe a sigh, but suddenly heard a sigh.
"But I just don't know if I can hold on until then and help you and Beiwang and others."
The old man saw Chen Xiao moving chun and wanted to persuade him, and waved his hand to stop him, "I won't tell you about this situation now. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this family is in a period of recession that is not in the blue and yellow. Have you heard of the down-and-out clans in the old society? Now in the capital circle, our Su family is such a typical example. Although it is not that bad, it is not far from it!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao clearly saw a hint of sigh in the old man's eyes, and also understood that what he said was heartfelt words.
In addition to his father-in-law Su Beiwang, the Su family now has some direct or side departments serving in the capital ministries or commissions or counties and cities. Overall, it looks stable and average, but there are no ones that are particularly outstanding... Fortunately, the old man is still alive now, so the family's connections and power will not be divided by other families!
"I'm not saying this to you because I hope you will say something to your father or other elders, but I hope you can give Xiaodong and the others some advice at the right time. Although your position is not as good as them now, in terms of mind and scheming... they are far inferior to you!"
"Grandpa, your truth is so strong."
The old man smiled and said, "You don't have to fool me. I can see that you are just not interested in going into the career path now. In fact, this is a good thing. Although you have a person, what is more comfortable than living a stable life? I am satisfied when I see you and Xiao Jin live in harmony."
After saying that... the old man twisted out the cigarette butt, got up, walked open the window, and let the wind and snow float in, Chen Xiao quickly followed.
Looking at the falling snowflakes, the old man stretched out his dry hand to take a piece... Looking at the snowflakes melting into the palm of his hand, he chuckled: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope that both of us will have a good harvest next year..."
Looking at the old man who was once in the history of China, he felt a faint sense of bleakness at this moment. Chen Xiao immediately felt mixed with all kinds of feelings and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandpa, next year is the time for our two families to bear fruit!"
The old man smiled comfortably.
After chatting for a while, the old man became sleepy... Chen Xiao was not inconvenient to disturb him anymore, so he said An and retreated... and then left with Su Jin in Su Dong's car.
However, before leaving, Chen Xiao found that Qiao Huijie's eyes were always strange when she looked at her, and Su Jin also had her cheeks red, and she was drooping all the way and did not dare to look at her.
Little did they know that just now when Chen Xiao was chatting with the old man, Qiao Huijie also pulled her daughter into the house to ask questions.
After all, she has the dual identities of a Fu person and a mother. Even though the couple acted in a close relationship, she still noticed something was wrong. She felt that her daughter seemed to have not been in a human way. She immediately felt suspicious. However, because the old man was holding it in the audience, after some indirect attacks when he was alone, she learned that the couple had not had sex yet!
This scared Qiao Huijie. She thought they were acting just now, but Chen Xiao was still unable to move. It was not until after listening to her daughter's serious and determined reply that she understood the whole story.
After a long time of trouble, the couple had a layer of paper between them and they couldn't break it!
Qiao Huijie had no choice but to comfort her daughter first, and then she was kind-hearted. The meaning was almost to let Su Jin go if she was really satisfied with Chen Xiao, so she would not delay it. After all, this was not a long-term solution. If she waited for another year or two years and still didn't renew the incense for his Chen family, Chen Xiao's parents would not be able to stand it, and maybe she would ask him to go outside to have a woman with a child!
After all, similar things are common in marriages of many aristocratic families. Qiao Huijie doesn't want her daughter's thriving marriage to be ruined because of this matter, so it would be too late to regret it!
Su Jin also understood that what his mother was telling the truth, but why did she, the woman, have the nerve to speak first? But after her mother's persuasion, she finally agreed without hesitation, which led to her heart struggling with thoughts throughout the way.
After more than half an hour's drive, the group finally arrived at a villa area located on the outskirts of the city. There were exquisite two-story villas with elegant environment and winding paths.
Here, Chen Xiao has a small villa of his own, which was bought by his mother, and the funds were spent on his mother's investment income in his parents' home and the family industry of the old Chen family.
Although it is a famous family, it cannot do anything clean. Not only the old Chen family, but almost all families in the circle have their own family industries, but agents are generally selected from sidelines or dependent forces.
After saying goodbye to Su Dong, Chen Xiao and Su Jin both entered the villa building.
Even though it has not been around for a long time, people still come to clean it regularly, so the environment is very clean. After Chen Xiao pulled the suitcases of the two of them in, he took out the changed clothes and planned to go to his room to take a bath. Su Jin suddenly shouted from behind.
"Chen Xiao, or you'll sleep tonight...'..."
Su Jin's head hangs slightly, her neck is scorching, and her moist and clear apricot eyes seem to contain a charming spring and autumn bo. In her soft and greasy words, she seems to have incorporated all her courage, but she can't speak out the last few words.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao was so excited by her unprecedented shameful attitude that she was so embarrassed that she raised her eyebrows and said tentatively: "What's wrong?"!
