Chapter 56 Crossroads
Shi De smiled and said, "Call me, brother, I'll call you Sister Ying in the future."
Yue Qingying burst out laughing: "Luckily, I'm not a man younger than you, otherwise it would be so ugly that you would call me Yingdi."
"Brother Ying?" Shi De was stunned, then figured out something, and laughed, "That's right, the best actor, is so scary."
After laughing, Shi De realized that Yue Qingying had just smiled, so he said boldly: "You laughed just now... Actually, you look very good when you smile."
"So what's the matter? I don't want anyone to see it." Yue Qingying's face changed as soon as she said that, and her expression, which was like the autumn breeze, suddenly became as icy as frost.
Fortunately, Shi De had adapted to the person who had Yue Qingying's temperament as calm as the chrysanthemum and cold as the night, and smiled and said, "I want to see it."
Yue Qingying looked at Shi De with a strange look for a while. Shi De looked at her without showing any weakness. After a little, she retreated and withdrew her gaze. Her lips moved and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, but just closed her lips and said nothing.
When we arrived at Yue’s family, it was not Su Shu’e who opened the door, but Yue Guoliang.
Yue Guoliang opened the door in person, which was very different. And as soon as he saw Shi De, Yue Guoliang laughed and said kindly: "Xiao Shi is here, come in quickly, it's hot outside."
Unlike the last time he met, Yue Guoliang was in a good spirit and seemed to be ten years younger. Thinking about it, Yue Guoliang's promotion was not only a desperate situation, but also a bright future. He was 52 years old this year. Even if he was in the position of deputy mayor for another term, he would still have the opportunity to serve as mayor by the age of 57.
In fact, according to Yue Guoliang's qualifications, as long as the path is smooth, it will not be too surprising even if he serves as the secretary of the municipal party committee in five years. He had already reached the point where he was at the end of his life and retreated to the second line, but suddenly he was in a dark and bright future. How could he not be energetic?
After entering the room and sitting down, Su Shu'e brought the watermelon from the kitchen and greeted Shi De enthusiastically: "Xiao Shi, you are really, how long have you been at home? My aunt misses you. Ying'er blames you, and he insists that Shi is busy, and he has to eat no matter how busy he is. Come to the house to eat and eat outside, is it different to eat?"
De, Shi De couldn't stand the enthusiasm of his mother-in-law to see his son-in-law. He had enough contempt and rolled his eyes when Huang Susu's parents in Xiajiang. It was not that he could not bear the courtesy he received in front of the wife of the deputy mayor, but that he was not used to it.
"Old Su, don't be busy. I'll say a few words to Shi De." Yue Guoliang saved Shi De, and he was eager to communicate with Shi De.
When I arrived at Yue Guoliang's study, Shi De noticed that the decoration of the room was different from the last time. Although it did not change much, the style was obviously changed. If the style in the past was steady and conservative, the style now became more enterprising and upward.
"Sit, sit." Yue Guoliang looked happy and actually made tea for Shi De himself, "Taste my skills."
Shi De hurriedly took the teapot: "Uncle Yue, I'll do it."
Yue Guoliang happily handed the teapot to Shi De's hands and said with emotion: "I read it right. Shi De, you are a very calm and insightful young man, and you are also very capable. Have you ever thought about where to go after you came out of the hospital?"
This sentence is not aimless, but is aimed at the rumors that Huang Zixuan wanted to use Shi De as secretary for half a month. It seems that the rumor is really powerful. Even Yue Guoliang, who is in the center of power, cannot tell the truth of it.
But to be honest, Shi De couldn't tell the difference between real and fake. He recalled the only contact with Huang Zixuan last time, and always felt that it seemed unlikely that Huang Zixuan would look at him differently just by meeting him.
"I haven't thought about it yet. The business of the antiques business is booming now, and Qingying doesn't care about it. I plan to spend my main energy on the antiques business for the time being. After all, the market in single cities is not big. Next, I will prepare to develop in the provincial capital and open a branch." Shi De was not lying, but did have the idea of continuing to expand its business.
"The idea is good, and it has certain feasibility." Yue Guoliang took a sip of tea slowly, "I have an idea. Xiao Shi, Uncle Yue is a veteran and has a certain understanding of you. I want to ask you, have you ever thought about developing in the career path?"
Finally, Shi De replied calmly: "I still prefer to fight the storm in the mall."
"..." After pondering for a moment, Yue Guoliang pondered the language, "Secretary Huang has a good impression of you. You have also heard the rumors outside. Secretary Huang may really want to transfer you to your side. Guo Weiquan's transfer to the county has been decided, and he will announce it after Secretary Huang's new secretary takes office."
It seems that it is not groundless, so Shi De did not conceal his relationship with Secretary Huang, and told Yue Guoliang in a scattered manner, meaning that Yue Guoliang would judge for him, whether Secretary Huang really liked him or someone deliberately spread rumors.
Yue Guoliang was silent, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, sat back and forth, and said thoughtfully: "I guess Secretary Huang is indeed intentional to use you. Someone has understood Secretary Huang's intention and deliberately let him out to test your reaction. After all, it is not a trivial matter. Secretary Huang cannot directly seek your opinions, and you are not in the system. By the way, do you know Mu Jinnian?"
To be honest, Shi De actually has no plans to go into politics. He thinks he is not suitable to enter the officialdom, and with his own plans for the future, he is not suitable to be an official. The scenery in front of others is not his ideal, so he is still suitable to be invisible.
When talking about Mu Jinnian, Shi De's heart suddenly moved: "Know."
"It's right to know each other. I met Mu Jinnian in the municipal party committee yesterday. I said a few words and mentioned you. He said you are young, promising, capable, and have a good vision. It is his honor to be able to know you." Yue Guoliang looked at Shi De in confusion. He was obviously confused about the relationship between Shi De and Mu Jinnian, but he was inconvenient to ask directly, "Mu Jinnian had always had a good relationship with Zheng Jingwei, but recently he and Fu Rui got closer..."
Zheng Jingwei is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee.
Although Shi De had long guessed that Mu Jinnian had a backstage in the municipal party committee, he didn't know who it was, but now after hearing Yue Guoliang's statement, he realized that Mu Jinnian's relationship with the municipal party committee was Zheng Jingwei. If it were just Zheng Jingwei, it would be fine. The secretary-general of the municipal party committee is the chief steward of the municipal party committee serving the secretary of the municipal party committee. Although he is also a real power figure and has relatively limited influence, if Mu Jinnian climbs up to Fu Rui's high branches, it will be troublesome.
Fu Rui is the mayor, as the top leader of the city government, a real and powerful figure. On the premise that Huang Zixuan was transferred from Dancheng was only a matter of time, Fu Rui's power would be infinitely magnified. Even if Shi De was not a person in the officialdom, he could clearly foresee that the power balance of the Dancheng Committee would be tilted towards Fu Rui's side.
Mu Jinnian is not simple. After returning to Bi Wentianmen, he has broad vision and good skills. He is easy to do in both the officialdom and the shopping mall.
"Mu Jinnian and I are not very familiar with each other, but I have met several times and have not had a close relationship." Shi De concluded the relationship between him and Mu Jinnian. At the same time, he also had a flash of inspiration in his mind and guessed who was deliberately pushing Huang Zixuan to use him as his secretary behind the scenes. It was Mu Jinnian. Mu Jinnian's move was not to make him a celebrity, but to disrupt his deployment and thus destroy his fortune.
Mr. He couldn't see his fate clearly. Similarly, Bi Wentian couldn't see clearly. I believe that Bi Wentian would be very interested in his future destiny like Mr. He, and would try every means to use various means to master the next step in his life.
It is inferred from this that his entry into the official career as Huang Zixuan's secretary was the optimistic result of Bi Wentian and Mu Jinnian. Once he entered the official sea, his life path would turn again, and he would be greatly restrained because of being in the officialdom. It is almost certain that he could not move towards the path of a military master in the officialdom.
Of course, Yue Guoliang didn't know what Shi De thought, but his concern for Shi De now is indeed sincere, and he really thinks Shi De is a friend who can talk to, and no longer thinks he is a younger generation.
"Xiao Shi, don't you think about it carefully?" Yue Guoliang advised earnestly, "Secretary Huang will be transferred to the provincial capital soon. Now you have served as his secretary. If nothing unexpected happens, you can follow the provincial capital. When you arrive at the provincial capital, the world is wide and your horizons will be high..."
"Thank you for your advice, but I think I am really not suitable for the officialdom. Maybe I can do business with Qingying and deal with the officialdom. If I really want to enter the officialdom by myself, it may be another situation. Bystanders are clear and those in the authorities are confused. I'd better be a bystander in the officialdom." Shi De expressed his thoughts firmly again.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, so you can't force it. Well, I won't say it anymore." Yue Guoliang nodded, as if he was acknowledging Shi De's firm position, and it seemed like something else. He asked again, "Do you have any other ideas besides running an antique business? Qingying also wanted to resign from the hospital. She is also very optimistic about the prospects for antiques, but I think you can't put all the eggs in the same basket."
Yue Qingying is about to quit her job too? Shi De was a little puzzled, why didn't she say anything on the way? But then he thought that Yue Qingying's resignation was a good thing. Leaving the hospital, she would be like a break from the past, and she could start a new life with all her heart.
If Shi De has plans for the future, there must be some, but he cannot tell Yue Guoliang. Another point is that he is not very clear about the future and prospects now. It is not impossible to cooperate with Yue Qingying in antiques, but he is too restricted. He wants to have his own career. However, he has not completely thought about where to start his career and what industry to engage in.
The main reason is that Bi Wentian's unexpected intervention and Mr. He's no longer clear grasp of his fate, which is also the reason why he hesitated. It must be admitted that Shi De is standing at the intersection of life, slightly confused.
"What are some good suggestions for Uncle Yue?" Shi De guessed that Yue Guoliang might have thought of the next step for him.
(Whoever doesn't vote for a recommendation will... your sister, haha.)
