Chapter 1086: Chen Xiao is leaving?
Tang Yunguo's birthday has always been low-key, but his relatives and confidants know that one day every year, Tang Yunguo will be different in normal times.
On the birthday, if nothing unexpected happens, Tang Yunguo usually rests for one day. The main reason is that on that day, the Tang family's children will usually be together. Tang Yunguo's son, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter will come to celebrate his birthday. For Tang Yunguo, only this day can be used to drag the birthday of the Provincial Party Committee's Secretary. It is definitely a big deal in Jiangnan politics. However, Tang Yunguo has always been disgusted with the birthday celebrations, and is not merciful, and is not a normal person. It is impossible and he dares to celebrate his birthday. On that day, the entire Jiangnan political circle is definitely five people.
Zhang Qingyun learned about Tang Yunguo's birthday. Considering that Tang Yunguo had something to say first, he did not come in person, but gave him some gifts, which was a distraction.
As for the provincial party committee and other provincial governments, some people are willing to give gifts, but they dare not, afraid of being afraid of backfire. This type of person accounts for the majority. And those who are not as polite as Zhang Qingyun are basically people with quite a status.
The people below basically don’t know about this, and even many real power departments do not know about this. Through this festival, we can roughly see who is the real core group of power in Jiangnan. In fact, many people are proud of knowing this, as if knowing this is a symbol of being in the core circle of power.
Although it was a low-key birthday, the birthday party was still very lively on the day. "The rich are in the deep mountains and there are distant relatives, and the poor are in the downtown area, and no one is asking about it." In the case of Tang Yunguo, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and tried to get close to him. Although I don't know how many people were turned away, the base was too large and after filtering them layer by layer, the yard was also incapable of leaving.
For birthday parties like this, Tang Yunguo rarely shows up, so he only comes out to say a few words to his relatives and friends during the meal. His children are greeting guests at other good times.
In fact, in a sense, occasions like this have long exceeded the significance of celebrating Tang Yunguo's birthday. Those who can come here today basically represent that they have more or less energy that others do not have.
Birds of a feather flock together. Everyone is a person on the same level. "It is important for many people to know more people and make more friends in such occasions."
In fact, Tang Yunguo's birthday party arrangements were also arranged according to the Western pattern. In the huge hall, there were all champagne and red wine, gentlemen in suits and ladies in various colorful evening dresses. Everyone was wandering around the crowd, with wine and laughing everywhere, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Tang Yunguo's birthday party was a private villa, which was his son's property. The villa was a three-story building, and there was a wide and luxurious study on the highest floor. The study room was made of floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony outside.
Various precious grasses are planted on the balcony, the most eye-catching are a few golden chrysanthemums. The slight fragrance of chrysanthemums spreads in the air, refreshing and intoxicating.
Sitting on the balcony, "The entire villa area is full of views. The biggest feature of this villa is that there is a different UA garden. Next to UA garden is a lawn with green grass planted on the lawn. The green color gradually fades away in this season." But there is no stubborn appearance, and it is still very beautiful and comfortable.
At this time, an open-air tent had been set up on the lawn, and all the lights in the air were turned on. The huge villa area was clear, and the dinner time was almost here. "People gradually gathered together, and it was obvious that they were not of the scale.
"Book, every year, you are the most relaxed today. The whole family is happy and lively. It is really enviable for your blessing."
On the balcony, there was a round table covered with a parasol. Two people sat opposite each other. On the right was Tang Yunguo and on the left was Chen Xiao. Tang Yunguo was also snuggling a girl of four or five years old. The girl was carved with jade, which was very pleasing.
The person who spoke was Chen Xiao. He smiled and looked at the crowded place below. The people who could come here were extraordinary, but in front of these two big guys, they sat on a high ground and looked down at everything below. Everyone was at their feet, all of them were so insignificant.
Tang Yunguo didn't speak. He held his granddaughter's hands with his ears next to his granddaughter's lips and listened to the girl whispering to him. There was prosperity below and Chen Xiao sat next to him. However, in Tang Yunguo's eyes, it seemed that there was only granddaughter in the world. He had no intention of paying attention to the rest of the birthday celebrations and horse patrolers.
I don’t know how long it took, but he raised his head and said, “Every year, every year is worse than year. I like quietness, but now you can see, can it be quiet?
Next year, I will be determined and no longer like this. At worst, I will go to the capital for a few days to hold a meeting. "Don't bother them, just treat everything as nothing." That's not necessary, you are already very low-key! You see, today all the relatives and friends are here, and you are also getting older. The elderly are afraid of loneliness. Once a year, it's inappropriate to be alone without a single person!" Chen Xiao said.
Tang Yunguo shook his head, smiled and said nothing, but picked up the cup on the table and drank it. The granddaughter snatched his cup, splashing him all over. Not only did he not get angry, he instead rubbed the guy's face indulgently and said, "Ni'er, naughty! You've wet grandpa's clothes and grandpa is sick. Who will tell you a story?"
"Grandpa is not allowed to get sick. Grandpa has to tell me stories every day!" said my daughter's tits, quite arrogant.
Tang Yunguo laughed loudly, and Chen Xiao also laughed and said, "Ni'er, your grandfather won't tell you a story, would you please let Grandpa Chen tell you a story? I can tell Snow White!"
The girl wrinkled her nose and said, "Snow White is a very old-fashioned story, I won't listen to it!"
Chen Xiao and Tang Yunguo burst into laughter again. Chen Xiao lamented that the current children are amazing and his grandson looked down on him as an old antique. He said that he only knows Journey to the West Sun Wukong, and the famous detective Ke Lan didn't know how to be competent in storytelling roles?
The two of them were talking and laughing, and suddenly the man came out of the study. The man's eyebrows were vaguely similar to Tang Yunguo. When he entered the door, he greeted him: "Dad, Uncle Chen!" Then he looked at the girl and said: "You ghost, we are looking for you everywhere. It turns out that you are hiding here. Didn't you see grandpa talking about things with grandpa Chen?"
The man who came in was Tang Chao, who was Tang Yunguo's son. As soon as he came in, the girl hid behind his grandfather and could not hide it.
Tang Yunguo waved his hand and said in a urn: "I can't even see a skeleton well, who can I blame? Ni'er comes to me, and it's better for you to please me." He picked up the child, pinched her hand, and said in a doting way: "In this family, the one I like most is Ni'er. She doesn't have as many ghosts as you guys... um..."
Tang Chao blushed, and was very embarrassed but did not dare to speak. Tang Yunguo stared at him for a few seconds before his expression calmed down. He said to the child in his arms: "Be good, go play with dad first, and let grandpa tell you a story tomorrow."
The girl seemed to be able to feel the majesty hidden in Tang Yunguo's words, or perhaps it was because of grandfather criticizing his father's face and making him realize that he was a little scared. After Tang Yunguo said this, she obediently slipped down from Tang Yunguo and came to Tang Chao's side.
Tang Chao picked up his daughter and said, "Ni'er, say goodbye to grandpa and grandpa Chen!"
"Goodbye grandpa, goodbye grandpa Chen!" The girl waved her hand obediently, and Tang Yunguo and Chen Xiao also waved to her. Both of them were extremely kind, and Tang Yunguo's appearance was even more comforting, and she smiled happily, and was happy.
Then Tang Chao said respectfully: "Dad, Uncle Chen, you chat first, I won't disturb you." He paused and said in a vain: "Dad, it's only been forty minutes since I left the seat..."
Tang Yunguo waved his hand, and Tang Chao didn't dare to speak anymore, so he went out with the child. Chen Xiao said, "You can't say anything, Ni'er is so obedient. How old is she? She is so sensible. The monkey in our family is incomparable to him."
Tang Yunguo had no contact. She looked at the direction where her granddaughter disappeared and smiled on her face. Soon her smile gradually faded, and the kindness and kindness in her expression gradually disappeared, and instead she looked serious.
Chen Xiao originally wanted to say something to activate the atmosphere, but when he saw Tang Yunguo's expression changed, he immediately shut up. It seemed that in a moment, the entire balcony had a sudden change. He was still happy just now, but at this moment, it was dark clouds and the air seemed to be frozen.
"Old Chen, if I remember correctly, we should know each other this year. I remember that you and I were one of the two who studied at the provincial party school. When I was the secretary of the county party committee in Mijiang County, Baling, you served as the deputy secretary in the neighboring county. At that time, we jointly engaged in aquatic products. You, Secretary Zhou, were sick, you were in charge of the work of the county party committee. At that time, it was our first time to cooperate..." Tang Yunguo said slowly.
Chen Xiao's face changed and said, "Yes, "Book"! I didn't expect that you still remember these things so clearly. There are many things I have forgotten."
Tang Yunguo snorted, often breathed, and said, "Some things can be forgotten, and some things can't be forgotten!" He paused, stared at Chen Xiao for a long time, and said, "There is no banquet that will last forever. You and me have been working with you for so many years, and we have worked for so many years. This is fate! But fate has a day when the end of time, so, Old Chen, some things may be a last resort!"
