"Xiao Chang, the situation in Jinjiang City will be very complicated next. A few things happened first, and now there are joint failures between the first and second leaders. The adjustment of the leadership team is inevitable. However, the competition for the quota of standing committee has basically been settled. In other words, the matter of entering the Standing Committee has basically been decided, and there is nothing to doubt about. A person with strong basic strength is willing to promote it. Public opinion is the party's will."

Chang Ning said uneasyly: "Qiu Ji, I'm breaking up with the first and second leaders now. I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate with my work in the future."

Qiu Xinghua said: "Well, it's good to have concerns, but there's no need to worry too much. You don't need to swallow your anger. Whether it's your Ning family or me, I hope you can do something in Jinjiang City. Just like in Wanjin County, if you don't make a sound, you'll make a splash. Of course, the image of the first and second leaders must also be taken into consideration. What should be respected must be respected, and this degree is up to you."

Chang Ning understood Qiu Xinghua's meaning and nodded, "Qiu Ji, with your instructions, I know what to do."

Qiu Xinghua smiled and said, "As for what I said today, if you think about it carefully, you will not be able to understand it for a while, it doesn't matter, but you have to remember the key point. You work in Jinjiang City, which represents the image of your Ning family and me. If you do well, we will have the confidence to speak for you. If you don't do well, it means we have no face."

"Qiu Ji, thank you, I will remember your words."

Qiu Xinghua continued: "There is another thing to remind you that you should not only do your job well, but also work hard to unite the comrades below. You have done a good job in Witz County in this regard. People like us who work in the provincial party committee also need some supporters below. As a position, the number of supporters below represents how far and deep the extension of the power he holds. People below need people to meet, and people below also need people below. For you, it is also one of your important tasks to maintain good relations with the department level of the county, city and department level below, especially the department-level cadres at the same time."

Chang Ning smiled embarrassedly, "This is what everyone often calls Continental."

Qiu Xinghua nodded and said, "Well, it can be said that there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. You must seriously solve this network of contacts and unite some people who truly support you. When your network reaches a certain level, it will actually become your strong protection network. Every leader, especially the main leaders in the government, should have such a group of loyal subordinates. As long as you have these subordinates, you will be able to do whatever you do in the future and do it with ease."

After hearing this, Chang Ning was very helpful. He had already known this principle. It was like those who owe debts, who borrowed less, and someone would chase you to ask for debts. But one day when the debt you borrowed was huge, those creditors would pay for it like their parents.

"Oh, I won't say it anymore. I'm so confused at the age of a young age. I've said something I shouldn't say. Xiao Chang, your current task is to work hard to solidify your foundation, do what you should do well, and build a network of relationships that you should build. You don't have to worry about other things."

Chang Ning looked at Qiu Xinghua and stopped talking.

Qiu Xinghua asked with a smile: "Do you have any other problems?"

"Qiu Ji, I'm sorry, why are you so kind to me?" Chang Ning finally expressed his doubts.

"Oh, how am I good to you?"

"yes."

"I really want to know?"

"Yes."

Qiu Xinghua pondered for a while and continued to move forward slowly in the woods.

"Xiao Chang, do you know my past?"

"Well... your ancestral home is Donghai City, and you were born in 1931. But you grew up from my grandmother's family in Ningzhou City, Zhijiang Province. After graduating from junior high school, you joined the Ningzhou Detachment of the Southeast Guerrilla Column. You have been liberation until the founding of the People's Republic of China. After returning to China in 1954, you first worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and transferred to the Ministry of the United Nations General Assembly in 1959. In 1963, you were transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. From 1968, you started to work in the local area, first in Donghai City, and then to Anshan Province. From 1973, you have been transferred to Xijiang Province to work.

Qiu Xinghua smiled and said, "I understand it very much."

"Hehe, when you came to work in Xijiang Province, you were originally in the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, so Minister Sang also had a copy of your archives."

Qiu Xinghua nodded, "So, have you found any valuable clues in my resume?"

He scratched his head again, and Chang Ning smiled and said, "If you want to say yes, you have been in Zhijiang Ningzhou for more than ten years. Ningzhou and Qingyang are neighbors, and you and I are at least half of the fellow villager."

"Haha, I am worthy of being a little fairy. Let's continue to do it. Let me ask a question. To you, how many old men do you have?"

Chang Ning felt aroused, "There are four old men in my family."

"Oh, which four?"

Chang Ning said: "The grandfather Ning Ruifeng of the capital, my wife Yang Yang's grandfather Yang Beiguo, the other two are my grandfather, one is the former Kuomintang general Fan Dongping, and the other is the grandfather Chang Deming who is now living in Hong Kong. People in Qingyang call him Chang Daxian."

"Of the four old men, who has the greatest influence on you?"

Chang Ning said without thinking: "Of course it's my grandfather Chang Daxian. If he didn't adopt my mother, maybe I wouldn't have. His destiny skills are amazing. He started to be famous at the age of eleven. I followed him from the age of five or six, making a living by telling fortunes to others. He was my first mentor in my life."

Qiu Xinghua nodded and continued to ask, "Then many people know him must be?"

"That's right, he started to accept disciples at the age of eighteen. As far as I know, there are ten disciples in the school alone. Now there are many famous people in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. There are also some friends from the world, all the people in the world, all the people in the world, and the underworld, and the white and white. I don't know how many friends he has. Anyway, he knows too many people."

"Does he have sworn brothers?"

"Yes, he used to talk about it. He once had six sworn brothers, the stern sag in Qingyang, the old white shark in Longmen, the mute in Haizhou, the grass flying in Qingzhou, the Jin Xiucai in Hucheng, and the little Jiuzi in Ningzhou."

Qiu Xinghua smiled and said, "That little Jiuzi from Ningzhou is me, Qiu Xinghua. The nickname of Xiao Jiuzi is your grandfather, because there is a nine-character character in my surname."

"Qiu Ji, what's going on?"

Qiu Xinghua said: "Your grandfather and I haven't seen each other for nearly forty years. I have been looking for him for years. When his legs were broken, I was losing my freedom. Later, I asked someone to inquire and they all said that he was no longer alive. I also saw it from your file not long ago, and I realized that Chang Deming was your grandfather."

"How did you know my grandfather?"

"That was during the Liberation War. I was at the headquarters of the Ningzhou Detachment of the Southeast Guerrilla Column led by my party. I was only seventeen years old that year. The detachment wanted to establish an intelligence station in Ningzhou City. Because I grew up in Ningzhou since I was a child and I was familiar with the situation there, the organization sent General Huang Ningsheng and I to Ningzhou. General Huang was a teacher in a primary school. I worked as an accountant in Hongbin Restaurant. My main task was to convey intelligence. The owner of Hongbin Restaurant is Chen Qinglong. He is your grandfather's senior brother. Your grandfather's grandfather's main task is to convey intelligence. The boss of Hongbin Restaurant is Chen Qinglong. He is your grandfather's senior brother.

Every time I come to Ningzhou, I live in Hongbin Restaurant. I actually live in my room. We are both a little educated, and we are only seven or eight years apart. Soon we became good friends. I remember that in those two and a half years, your grandfather had been to Ningzhou for more than ten times. The short stay was ten days and half a month, and the long stay was one or two months. During the day, he set up a stall in the lobby of Hongbin Restaurant to tell fortunes. At night, he secretly took the wine from his senior brother and hid in the room with me, drinking and bragging until he got drunk."

Chang Ning asked with a smile: "Qiu Ji, then does my grandfather know your true identity?"

"Haha, Xiao Chang, you have come up with the idea. I had just joined the revolution for less than a year and had just turned seventeen years old. I was just a rookie in underground work. How could I escape the eyes of Chang Daxian Ruizhi? The last time we met was in October 1949, on the eve of Ningzhou's liberation, I was ordered to withdraw from Ningzhou City and return to the army. Your grandfather happened to be coming again. On the last night before I left, your grandfather pulled me to drink again and gave me all the ten oceans he had brought. He

He said to me, Xiao Jiuzi, don't pretend in front of me. When I came the second time, I saw what you were doing. My senior brother and I knew that you were sent from the mountain. I was shocked at that time. He said, Xiao Jiuzi, don't worry, I am a member of the world. No matter this party or that party, you are my brother, I can't help you, but I won't betray you... That night, we drank until the second night. When we broke up, your grandfather gave me four words while half drunk and half awake, and he made a journey of thousands of miles... "

Chang Ning held Qiu Xinghua's arm and said excitedly: "Qiu Ji, when I go back, I call a telegram to tell my grandfather that the little Jiuzi he often says is still alive."

Qiu Xinghua walked towards his car and said, "Don't worry, we will see you again. I still owe him ten dollars. Your grandfather calculated for me that I would definitely live to be eighty years old, so of course he knew that I was still alive, but he was the idle cloud and wild crane in the world and didn't want to see us ordinary people."

Watching Qiu Xinghua's car disappear outside the woods, Chang Ning sat on the bamboo recliner.

Chen Maoyun walked over and said, "Leader, you won't go back to Jinjiang tonight."
