Chapter 280 The Way of Coping
Chapter 280: The way to deal with it
"Dad, what should we do?" Chu Tiancong had a dark face. Although he is now a famous figure in western Sichuan Province, he was very clear in his heart. If it weren't for the support of Vice Premier Wu Qingyi in the State Council, he might not have such a high status in western Sichuan. After all, Wu Qingyi's in charge of development and reform, prices, finance, statistics and other tasks related to the overall situation are one of the few vice premiers of the State Council who have real power!
Now in the officialdom, Wu Qingyi is generally optimistic about becoming the next prime minister. This is why Chu Tian wants to make some achievements as soon as possible in the past few years, and he can take advantage of this east wind to further strive to enter the ranks of ministerial level before he is 55 years old!
Of course, all this cannot be separated from the influence of the old man. If the old man really retires to the countryside, the Chu family's power and reputation will inevitably plummet. This is obviously not a situation that the Chu family's children are willing to see.
Moreover, once the old man retired, the times of the world changed, and the power of the Chu family plummeted. Even if the boss became the commander of the Yangcheng Military Region, Wu Qingyi might not have been able to treat the Chu family as before. Although the Chu family helped him at a critical moment, he also gave the Chu family a lot of rewards. Political figures have reached a certain position, and political ideas and ambitions have become one of the main reasons for their political stance.
"What do you think we should do?" The old man asked back, "The army cannot interfere in politics. This is decided by the Chairman. Even if what he wants to do now is for the prosperity of the nation, he cannot touch this red line!"
"Dad, I think I'll wait for the boss's situation to come out before talking about it! Now we have to check out the plans over there. This time the Chen family has a lot of plans. In my opinion, they will not make things a death-death!" Chu Tianshu spoke. He was the deputy minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. He was naturally used to standing on a very high foothold when looking at the problem!
The old man nodded and turned his eyes to Ma Kongcheng's face: "Cheng'er, what do you think?"
Ma Kongcheng frowned. Although it was expected that the old man asked him to express his opinions, he really didn't think of any countermeasures. This level of struggle was no longer something he could guess. He just felt that this time the matter would not be so simple. Did he spend all his effort just to give the Chu family a warning?
Since they took advantage of the opportunity of the old man's retreat to the countryside to attack, naturally they have a lot of plans, so how could they not want to achieve greater results?
"Grandpa, I don't think things are that simple!" Ma Kongcheng looked up at the old man. The old man didn't say anything, nodded and signaled him to continue talking.
"The current situation is that the Chen family is very imaginative. They should not think about taking the initiative to touch the Chu family's bad luck! However, now they are just making a breakthrough, so it is impossible to expect them not to make things bigger! There may be a deeper meaning in this!" Ma Kongcheng said slowly.
The old man nodded. It seems that this grandson-in-law is indeed stronger than his sons. If the child is older and has a higher position, it may be a good material for entering the General Office of the Military Commission!
The Chen family has always wanted to take the capital of the Gyeonggi area into their hands. If they want to do this, the first thing they need to obtain is the consent of the central government, but the most important thing is the recognition of the old man. The important areas of the Gyeonggi area and the heads of the army are all brought by the old man back then. Without the approval of the old man, they may not buy the Chen family's accounts. The Chen family will not understand this principle. There is only one possibility, that is, they have to do it!
"Yes, obviously someone is tired of our Chu family!" The old man sighed. Although some of the other party's behavior was unethical, from the party's standpoint, his existence may hinder the Chairman's principle of the party commanding guns back then!
"Forget it, the old guy who has completely retired, what else can he have to fight for?" The old man turned his gaze to Ma Kongcheng. Having said that, he was the most competitive, and he could not stand such a blatant slap in the face no matter what!
"Grandpa, you can't just let it go!" Ma Kongcheng slowly raised his head and looked at the old man with his eyes fixed on him: "This is not only related to the face of the old man, but also to the future of the Chu family, but also to whether you can complete the chairman's instructions!"
Chu Tian nodded. Ma Kongcheng is very good. He can not only observe his words and expressions, but also understand the old man's thoughts. With his arrogant attitude towards the world, how could he be slapped so hard when he was retired in the countryside? But he agreed to really retire, and he couldn't go back on his word. Fortunately, this kid deeply understood the old man and set the steps of the old man with a letter from the chairman!
The old man nodded with a smile: "Yes, the Chairman asked me to assist Comrade Xiaoping in the past to do a good job in the Military Commission, especially to pay attention to the military that cannot be a bargaining chip for disputes within the party! If you don't think of a solution, you really have no face to see the Chairman! Xiaocheng, the idea of mutual supervision you proposed last time is very good, but are there any specific measures?"
Ma Kongcheng shook his head. This idea does look good. The party and the army supervise each other. The problem is that in this way, the army will jump from the commanded person to the group that supervises party affairs. The power will undoubtedly increase greatly. If it is possible to get out of the military government, it will be a disaster for the Republic!
Of course, effective supervision is to effectively restrain the army. If the army wants to obey the party's command, it must be adhered to. There is no doubt that this is not something he can come up with now!
However, the old man obviously hadn't thought of asking him to come up with a solution now. It would be enough to lay a thorn in his heart. Since the other party's fist was so hard that he was not afraid of tearing his face. Of course, all this must be under his control.
"Second, please stay here and write invitations to several old comrades from the Military Commission and the Central Committee. After this birthday, who knows if my old man has the next birthday?" The old man waved his hand and signaled the other people to leave, leaving Chu Tiancong.
"Okay, Cheng'er, go and see the doctor to take a look and treat the wound. Just do it well. Don't hurt your body. Let Fei'er take you to see the new house later. Your parents will come here tomorrow and live there!"
"Grandpa, then I'll go back. You should rest early, don't worry too much!" Ma Kongcheng said goodbye with a smile, knowing in his heart that the old man was going to discuss countermeasures with Chu Tian. Since the Chen family has such a hard backer, it doesn't matter how to deal with the matter in Yangcheng. What is important is how the Chu family will deal with it next!
The old man nodded with his eyes closed and waved his hand to let him leave.
"Dad, have you invited all your old subordinates?" Chu Tian asked in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly. The impact of the old man's every move at this moment was enough to affect the political status quo of the entire republic!
The old man's face turned gray instantly. He slowly closed his eyes and nodded. He could not care about the future of the Chu family, but he could not ignore the tradition of the army's inability to interfere in politics. The army could not become a tool for some people to seize power!
"Please call them all over. The girl has been away from home for more than 20 years. It's time for her to change her surname to Chu, so that she can meet her relatives and friends at home. By the way, let Wumei and Kongcheng get engaged at this birthday party! Shanchuan has done a good job in recent years. Leave all the things in Nanhu to him in the future!"
Chu Tian nodded. Although Li Shanchuan had not fulfilled the conditions of the old man back then, he was really good. Now the old man is about to retire, and the situation of the Chu family will only become more and more difficult in the future. Li Shanchuan is also a talented person and his brother-in-law, so there is more reason to make him the middle force of the Chu family!
However, isn’t it a bit unsuitable to announce the marriage between Li Wumei and Ma Kongcheng at the old man’s birthday party? After all, there are many people coming to participate in the old man’s birthday, including the head of state, the military commission, etc. Isn’t the announcement of their marriage on such occasions? Isn’t this disguised way to let all the halos gather on them?
"Dad, isn't it appropriate to announce their marriage at your birthday party?" Chu Tiancong whispered. He did not deny Ma Kongcheng's genius, but after all, he was young and gathered too much halo on his body too early, which may not be a good thing for his future development!
"Don't you understand what I mean?" The old man sighed in his heart, opened his eyes and looked at Chu Tiancong: "Why should I put a chair in this study tonight? I want to see Cheng'er's courage! Surprisingly, he sat down without hesitation. This is courage, this is confidence. If you were him, would you sit down so directly! Why did he sit down? It's because he is confident that he is qualified to participate in our conversation!"
Chu Tiancong was slightly stunned. He also felt that a chair suddenly appeared in the old man's study instead of a little ma stool, but he didn't expect it to be a prop used by the old man to test Ma Kongcheng!
It seems that Ma Kongcheng's performance has won the praise of the old man!
"Cheng'er, a child, is steady, smart, flexible, and has strong ability and is very brave. He dares to express his own opinions on party building as a mayor, and then becomes the deputy county magistrate. He dares to directly select leading cadres at the grassroots level. From what point of view, I put a chair in the study today to try this kid's courage! This kid's future achievements will definitely be extraordinary!"
Chu Tian was shocked from his heart, and then he realized how much the old man valued the grandson-in-law. Announcing the wedding banquet at the old man's birthday party was not only a factor in helping him save face, but also a factor in tying Ma Kongcheng to the Chu ship. The boss said that Wu Ziren seemed to appreciate him very much!
"There is another important reason why I want to announce their marriage at the birthday party, that is, to prove that not everyone in our Chu family can move as soon as they want. I really think that after taking a few people from the boss, they want to demonstrate with me. They are a little more tender when they play this trick with me!"
