"Hmm?" Zhang Kun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up at Secretary Xu.

Secretary Xu chuckled and said, "It has been more than three months since Haohao received your care. It has been so long that you have never come to your house to sit. Why? When I go to my provincial party secretary's house, I am afraid that someone will be told to climb up the top, so why don't Governor Ye's house be afraid of others' gossip?"

"Also, you came out after dinner at Governor Ye's house. The purpose of your visit today should be Governor Ye's house. As for the idea that you changed temporarily, you came to me."

"So who made you change your mind? After thinking about it, there was only Haohao."

Zhang Kun blinked as he listened to Secretary Xu's words, and finally nodded with a light chuckling.

After Zhang Kun admitted, the smile on Secretary Xu's face became even worse: "Haohao has been sensible since he was a child and knows how to be considerate. I probably saw me alone at home, so I specially asked you to accompany me?"

Zhang Kun laughed again and nodded, recognizing Secretary Xu's guess about Haohao, and then Zhang Kun suddenly said, "By the way, Secretary Xu, you still want to congratulate you. You are about to be a grandpa again. I heard that Aunt Liang has been to Uncle Xu for a while."

Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Secretary Xu nodded with a smile: “Thanks to you, Xiao Liang can untie the knot.”

In response, Zhang Kun shook his head: "This is all Haohao's credit, I dare not be greedy for me."

Secretary Xu didn't say anything, but just watched Zhang Kun simmering his little tea again. After a while, he whispered: "Play chess with me."

Zhang Kun looked up slightly and looked at Secretary Xu.

Secretary Xu whispered: "Haohao has loved playing chess since he was a child, and I still teach him his chess. However, since I joined the provincial and ministerial department, I have been busy with work more and more time, but I have no time to accompany Haohao to play."

"It's rare to leave the job at home today. Thank you for your hard work as Haohao's hand. Let us grandpa and grandson play this last game of chess."

Zhang Kun looked at Secretary Xu, then looked at Xu Hao in the air, and finally nodded with a chuckle.

Secretary Xu showed a smile on his face, and he got up and found a set of red sandalwood chessboard from the living room cabinet, which emitting faint fragrance. Then he and Zhang Kun took one side, and Zhang Kun held a red son.

"Haohao, you can take the initiative!" Secretary Xu chuckled.

"Yes." In the air, Xu Hao nodded excitedly and then floated over the chessboard and pointed at the big red cannon: "The head cannon."

Zhang Kun nodded with a chuckle, then picked up the red cannon pointed at by Xu Hao and moved to the center line.

Secretary Xu smiled slightly and then vaulted.

....

"General!" Secretary Xu held a stack of red pieces in his hand and chuckled the general.

"Not counting or not, I didn't see it just now. This step doesn't count. Well, Haohao said." Zhang Kun said hurriedly.

Secretary Xu was slightly stunned at first, then chuckled and nodded: "Okay, okay, it doesn't count, it doesn't count, then you can take another step."

...

"Secretary Xu, let's regret it one more step. Haohao didn't think it through just now." Zhang Kun said with a wry smile.

Secretary Xu nodded with a smile: "I want you to regret it again, but I will just say it first, and there will be no three things."

...

"Secretary Xu..."

Before Zhang Kun finished speaking, Secretary Xu raised his eyebrows: "This time it will definitely not work. I just agreed, but I will only have three things to do."

Zhang Kun pointed to the open space on the sofa next to him with a helpless smile: "Haohao is rolling around there."

“….”

That night, the lights in Secretary Xu's villa were on until two o'clock in the evening.

the next day.

At the corner of Nanshan City, on the national highway, there was a long convoy of vehicles parked, with 20 or 30 vehicles, and there were police cars in front and behind, separating traffic and crowds.

Next to the convoy was a long abortion, and the ones walking in the front were Xu Sheng, Du Hao, and Ye Tao. Across the three, there was an old man in his fifties standing there with a solemn expression on his face.

Xu Sheng, Du Hao and Ye Tao stood together and whispered something. The old man next to him looked at him, while the others stood far away.

Du Hao held Xu Sheng's hand tightly, and the two provincial party secretaries of Nanhu Province whispered. After chatting for a few minutes, Du Hao nodded to Xu Sheng and walked towards the old man next to him with a hint of respect on his face.

After Du Hao walked away, Ye Tao came to Xu Sheng, shook hands tightly with the former provincial party secretary, and also talked in a low voice for a while. After talking for a few minutes, the two of them slowly let go of their hands.

At this time, Du Hao was standing beside the old man before, waiting silently. Ye Tao was about to turn around and walk towards the old man, greeting him a few words, but his body stopped moving, pondered for a while, and then said softly to Xu Sheng: "Secretary Xu, can you take the initiative to ask?"

"I heard from Secretary Du Hao that you used the condition of recommending Secretary Du Hao as the position of provincial party secretary in exchange for Secretary Du Hao's recommendation to become the governor of Nanhu Province. In this...."

This question has been entangled in Ye Tao's mind recently, and Ye Tao really can't figure it out.

When a leading cadre is about to be transferred or promoted, he has the right to recommend a successor he thinks is suitable to take over his position.

This recommendation is not absolute, because the superior organization department will consider it comprehensively, but this recommendation will indeed affect the final decision to a certain extent.

Originally, Ye Tao had never thought about the position of governor of Nanhu Province. First, because Ye Tao was old, he would be sixty in two years. Usually, at the age of sixty, the vice ministerial level should retreat to the second line.

When stuck at this point, Ye Tao’s most ideal state is to serve as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee for another two years and then become the chairman of the provincial CPPCC. Ye Tao’s lifelong official career should end in this way.

The second is that Ye Tao did not have a very suitable strong support, and this time, the executive vice governor was very popular and started running up and down very early. It can be said that the possibility of success is very high.

So, at the beginning, Ye Tao did not want to win the position of governor.

But later he heard that Governor Du Hao recommended him in a conversation, so Ye Tao then followed the trend and rushed to Yanjing, visited some old leaders, and finally succeeded in taking office.

It can be said that if it were not for Secretary Du Hao's recommendation, Ye Tao would not have had this idea at all, because the possibility of success was too low. Instead of using some favors on these unlikely things, it would be better to stay on the front line for other purposes.

However, what Ye Tao couldn't understand was that although his relationship with Du Hao was good on weekdays, it only took private relationships. As the saying goes, a gentleman's friendship is as quiet as water. There are many relationships involved in recommendation. Normally, Du Hao's recommendation qualification is also a kind of interest value to some extent, and most of them should be used for exchange.

However, Du Hao never had any contact with him from beginning to end.

Later, after the National People's Congress meeting, all kinds of dust fell. Ye Tao learned from Du Hao during a conversation that it was Secretary Xu Sheng, who used his recommendation of Du Hao as a condition to ask Du Hao to recommend Ye Tao.

Du Hao had already taken advantage of the recommendation of a provincial party secretary and a provincial governor. At that time, he was working hard to take over the position of provincial party secretary. The more effort he could have, the more chance of success, so naturally he would not object.

But Ye Tao still couldn't figure it out. He and Du Hao could still say that they had some personal relationships, but although they were in the same office building with Secretary Xu Sheng, the relationship was definitely not harmonious, let alone let Secretary Xu Sheng use the recommended quota on him.

So, Ye Tao couldn't understand, really didn't understand.

After hearing Ye Tao's words, Xu Sheng seemed to understand what Ye Tao meant and nodded lightly: "No need to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Zhang Kun, I'm giving him a favor."

After Xu Sheng finished speaking, Ye Tao was stunned. With his cunning, he could not recover for a moment.

Zhang Kun?

Xu Sheng showed a chuckling on his face, and then gently shook Ye Tao's hand: "In the future, Nanhu Province will be left to you and Comrade Du Hao."
