Chapter 88 [In Kyoto] (Sixth)

The same rich and powerful class, some car owners are not cool enough to drive Ferrari or Audi sports cars, and they don’t hesitate to "go on a gray ride" all the way with their roof open to make a comeback rate; on the contrary, there is another type of car owner who would rather drive an unpopular luxury car with low-key appearance and price, dressed up as a "passerby" and mingle in the crowd, enjoying the exclusive sense of quality. But whether it is swaying or "hiding in the city", they are understandable attitudes to life, while those men who drive low-key luxury cars have a bit of a mysterious and restrained aristocratic atmosphere, which is curious.

The car sent by Manshantun is a Skoda Haorui, an unknown mid-range European car. It only belongs to those who are not ostentatious but demanding quality. Just like the personal style of Manshantun, it is elegant and atmospheric and restrained, and is in line with the doctrine of the mean of Chinese culture.

The license plate is not ordinary, the Kyoto A8 series, the identity mark of the ministerial leadership, and the label of the most powerful class in Kyoto City. It is absolutely unique to Chang'an Street and travel to Kyoto City.

The driver who drives can tell at a glance that he is well-trained, and he is brittle when he should be brittle when he should be brittle. The purpose of driving is simple and clear, and he will deliver his leader to his destination in the safest way and fastest speed. He will never show off his might or will show off his might on the road.

On the way to pick up Peng Fang, Jin Yang chatted with him casually. He learned that he was a veteran of the Central Guard Bureau and had driven a roadway and a guard of honor for national leaders. He belonged to the kind of person who had seen the world.

Even so, when he learned that Jin Yang was going to visit Mr. Zhao in the afternoon, his face was moved. A face that was neither humble nor arrogant showed his curiosity and guesswork towards Jin Yang.

"It's rare for Mr. Zhao to not see guests for several years." Fortunately, he has served by the leader for many years and knows what he can ask and what he should not ask. So he didn't ask Jin Yang what origin was, and what he took to the Tongtian path, so he actually asked Mr. Zhao to open the door to accept guests.

"Yes! Good luck." Jin Yang said vaguely and said in one sentence.

The driver didn't talk much at first, but suddenly he started talking, "Old Zhao still lives in Xishan, right?"

Jin Yang nodded, "Beijing No. 8, Xishan, Kyoto."

The driver complimented: "What a good place! I have been to the No. 5 compound of Xishan before. It looks like a high-wall power grid monitoring equipment outside, which looks like a small prison, but the decoration inside is a new entry. In the past, there was always a folk saying of "the east is rich, the west is noble, the south is poor, the north is cheap". But now it is still rich, but the south is neither poor nor the north is cheap, and they are rich. There is no poor person in the fifth ring road. Anyone who chooses a household owner comes out, and they are worth millions of dollars."

Jin Yang said curiously: "Can't the national leaders live in Zhongnanhai?"

The driver smiled and said, "It happened many years ago when living in Zhongnanhai. Almost all of them moved out after the 1970s. Xishan, Yuquan Mountain, Xinliusuo, Fuyou Street, Nanchizi... were divided very scattered. But Zhongnanhai must have their houses, which are used for office rest. Most of them live with their family at different times. For example, the Xihua Hall where Premier Zhou lived in that year was disrepaired, and he did not agree to spend money on the money. As a result, when winter comes, there will be wind and cold everywhere. In fact, the residences of the national leaders are not owned by the state. The ownership belongs to the state. Even furniture is rented. It is calculated every year and will be recycled after death. I heard from veterans of the Guard Bureau that at that time, I had to pay for a cup of tea in the Great Hall of the People."

"What is the saying about the rich and the rich in the east?"

The driver explained: "There are many allusions, among which the most widely spread refers to the East City and the West City in the inner city. It means that most nobles and giants live in the West City, while warehouses and other commercial-related facilities are distributed in the East City, so most merchants live here, forming the phenomenon of "rich" and "noble" separation. There is also a saying that there are many rich people in the East City, and there are many noble people in the West City. The southern poverty refers to the place outside the front gate where all the people live, and the people who work hard live, and the sky bridge is even more of the places where the people who work hard live. At that time, outside Yongding Gate, which is now the Sanzikou, there is a mess of graves. The northern barbarian refers to the north of the city, which is the bell and drum tower and the place to Desheng Gate north. The palace maids and eunuchs live there. Because of their low status, they are called the northern barbarians."

When the car arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Finance, Jin Yang heard that the driver took a full half hour to take advantage of it.

Peng Fang and the classmate from the Central Party School of the Ministry of Finance walked out of the door three minutes later. The two simply shook hands and said goodbye. Jin Yang got out of the co-pilot and opened the door for Peng Fang early.

Peng Fang walked to Skoda Haorui's car, looked at the license plate, and his brow jumped slightly. He had studied at the Central Party School more than once, and was much more familiar with Kyoto than Jin Yang. At least he knew that the Xihai Office in Beijing could not get such license plates.

But he did not speak immediately, but got into the car, sat casually in the back seat, raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said lightly: "The time is enough, go to Fuyou Street first."

The driver slowly started the car.

Since there was a driver, Jin Yang and Peng Fang had no deep communication and only talked about the Guanghan Mining Area.

Peng Fang neither nodded nor shook his head, nor spoke, just listened.

Soon after, the car arrived at an alley on Fuyou Street. Peng Fang told him not to drive in, so he called Jin Yang out of the car alone, and the two of them came to a courtyard.

During this process, Jin Yang briefly told Fan Yang about the actions of the Beijing Office, and then told Peng Fang why he didn't use the people and cars of the Beijing Office, and borrowed Chairman Man of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Peng Fang looked at Jin Yang and said, "You have good ability to adapt. You are waiting outside the door, I'll come after a while."

After saying that, Peng Fang made a phone call, and the door of the Siheyuan opened. He walked in and came out five minutes later. He had a small convenience bag on his hand.

Jin Yang took the initiative to take it and weighed it in his hand a few times, which was of little importance.

Peng Fang said, "Fan Yang said at least one sentence correctly. Let's go to see Mr. Zhao, how can we go empty-handed? Although this Venus Duan inkstone is not worth much, it can at least express our admiration for him."

"Yes! I heard that Mr. Zhao likes calligraphy in his later years, and this inkstone is just right as a gift." Jin Yang echoed. Then he said: "Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission knew that Peng*** had entered Beijing and wanted to invite you to a meal. I don't know when you have free time."

Peng Fang was filled with emotion at the time. He knew what kind of weight Manshantun was. How many provincial party committee members and governors went to Beijing to line up to treat him to dinner. Why did Manshantun treat him to dinner? It was not because of his secretary. There was also the meeting between Mr. Zhao. Although Zhao Miao was the key figure later, without Jin Yang's connection, he and Zhao Miao were completely different. Even if they met at a meeting, they would not be able to become "friends".

Other secretaries rely on their leaders to pretend to be powerful, but his secretary is better than his leader in some aspects. Peng Fang is increasingly cheering for his original choice. If he listened to Yao Yimin, he would not use Jin Yang as his secretary. Then the current Xihai and the Provincial Party Committee must be another scene.

"I will of course go to Chairman Man's banquet. You convey your greetings to Chairman Man for me. The time and place will be determined by Chairman Man, and we will follow the customs."

Jin Yang nodded and said yes. He took out the phone immediately.

When the two walked to Skoda Haorui's car, Jin Yang had already finished the call with Manshantun, and whispered while opening the car door: "Chairman Man said tonight."

Peng Fang bent over and got into the car and nodded calmly.

Jin Yang got on the co-pilot and said to the driver: "Go to the No. 8 compound of Xishan."

The car started quickly and arrived at Xishan at 4:00 pm. Since the agreed time was still half an hour before, the car stopped in front of Biyun Temple in Xishan. The driver said to go down and smoke a cigarette. Jin Yang was going to accompany Peng Fang to the tree-lined path outside Biyun Temple for a few times. Suddenly, he received a call from Xuanxuan and asked where he was. He told the truth, waiting in front of the mountain gate of Biyun Temple.

"Wait for me, I'll come over right away." Xuanxuan hung up the phone in a hurry.

Jin Yang fed him a few times, but failed. He smiled bitterly at Peng Fang and said, "Old Zhao's great-granddaughter is coming. Her father is the vice president of the Military Art Academy." Peng Fang had learned about the origin of Jin Yang's connection with the Zhao family. He knew that he had accidentally saved a descendant of the Zhao family. He also knew that this news was unlimited by the Xihai *** Department, and the people who knew were limited to a few members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

He smiled slightly and did not say anything. He thought to himself: This boy didn't know whether he was lucky or had a good fortune. He was young and gently tied the line with the red family like the Zhao family with a profound background. It is said that he was favored by the daughter of the Su family. He entered the family of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection casually. He was better than himself back then. The most important thing is that Jin Yang did not become arrogant because of this. During the two months he served as his secretary, he acted well, treated people casually, and had a low-key style that he admired.

Five minutes later, a black red flag extended bulletproof car slowly stopped in the square in front of the Biyun Temple mountain gate, which immediately attracted many pilgrims to take photos and watch. As soon as the car stopped, a girl jumped out hurriedly and looked around with bright eyes.

"Xuanxuan! I'm here." Jin Yang waved to Zhao Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan jumped and ran over. Two casual men got out of the Hongqi car, one followed her vigilantly, and the other was watching around for any abnormalities.

Since Xuanxuan almost had an accident last time, the Zhao family's protection for her has risen to a new level. As long as Xuanxuan leaves the house, the security work will be carried out in an orderly manner.

"Uncle, you lied to me." Jin Yang was about to reach out to hug him, but Xuanxuan braked suddenly and pouted her mouth and said coquettishly.

"Uncle is really busy. I will go with you tomorrow, how about it?" Jin Yang comforted and pulled her hand.

"We are going to have class tomorrow!" Xuanxuan murmured in dissatisfaction.

"Xuanxuan, I'll introduce you to you. This is the uncle's leader, Peng...Uncle from Xihai." Jin Yang originally wanted to say Grandpa Peng, but when he thought it was not suitable, he would not be able to be side by side with Mr. Zhao.

"Hello, uncle, leader!" Xuanxuan shouted sweetly at Peng Fang. Peng Fang was about to reach out to touch her head and praise her "beautiful and smart" words, but she didn't expect Xuanxuan to do it intentionally or unintentionally, she tilted her head and took Jin Yang's hand, and said in a pretty voice: "It's better to go to Biyun Temple to play now..."

Others are a great figure in the provincial party committee, but in her eyes, any grandfather and uncle who are qualified to go to her grandfather's house is a top figure who is famous in China. Moreover, she has her pride, and not everyone is qualified to touch her head.

Jin Yang was slightly stunned, "Not now, look at the time, we have to see your grandpa, we dare not be late."

Xuanxuan blinked her eyes and smiled strangely, "I promise my grandpa won't be angry with you."

Jin Yang was so hard that she had no choice but to draw a big pancake for her first, "Otherwise, this summer, uncle will pick you up to Wujiang to play for a summer vacation. How about it?"

She raised her pure starry eyes and looked at Jin Yang, thinking a little, probably judging the truth and the truth and reliability. Suddenly, she smiled and put on her jade fingers, pretending to be old-fashioned, and said coquettishly: "Document."

After dealing with Xiao Xuanxuan, Jin Yang and Peng Fang breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Then Xuanxuan got on Jin Yang's Skoda Haorui, and Peng Fang had to "begged" to the passenger seat and gave the back seat to her and Jin Yang.

Skoda Haorui was in front and Red Flag car was in the back. Two cars were one in front and one behind and came to a quiet alley.

An ancient courtyard stands in front of them, with no characteristics on the door, neither couplet nor door number. The steps are not high, and the number of three levels.

Xuanxuan took Jin Yang's hand and went straight to the yard. Jin Yang turned around and smiled bitterly at Peng Fang. Peng Fang nodded to him. It means it doesn't matter.

A middle-aged man appeared at the gate of the courtyard to greet him. He was Mr. Zhao's secretary, surnamed Hong, and he followed Mr. Zhao for nearly thirteen years. Six years ago, he was the main department. If he was willing to be released in his early years, he would now be at least a prince from a major province.

His demeanor was calm, without any official airs, and he was a little elegant. After a few greetings with the tent, he led Peng Fang and Jin Yang to the main courtyard, pointed to the quaint wing room on one side and said, "Old Zhao is in the study, please come in."

Peng Fang was slightly stunned. Secretary Hong said, "You two are welcome to come in", which was a bit beyond his expectations. In addition to seeing him, Mr. Zhao actually had the intention of meeting Jin Yang.

Jin Yang didn't have that many. First, he thought that Mr. Zhao took it for granted. He saved Mr. Zhao's precious granddaughter and was considered a benefactor. It is not an exaggeration to meet his benefactor. Second, Zhao Xuanxuan kept biting her tongue and whispering to him, so it was difficult for him to distract himself and think about it so much.

When entering the study, whether it was as generous as Peng Fang or Jin Yang, who was more courageous than the sky, he couldn't help but breathe slightly tightly, calmed his mind and walked carefully, fearing that he would alarm the old man who was writing after the long case.

Mr. Zhao is 96 years old this year, but he looks only about eighty. Although he is not as handsome as a child, his thin figure and white hair definitely look like a fairy-like look.

Secretary Hong pointed to the sofa slightly, meaning to invite them to sit down. Then he gently poured tea for Peng Fang and Jin Yang.

Peng Fang sat on the sofa in a regular manner, straightened his back, and held his hands on his knees, with a serious expression.

Jin Yang first came into contact with this revolutionary veteran who was only in Chinese legend, and his hands were so nervous that he was sweating. This old man was the main leader of the country back then, and played a role in turning the tide in the world-renowned storm. Not to mention him, it was hard for an idle provincial and ministerial-level cadres to see this person.

Zhao Xuanxuan also calmed down after entering the room. She quietly walked behind the old man, watched the old man write, and couldn't help but recite it gently: "If you don't fight, your vitality will not be hurt; if you don't be greedy, your eyes will be bright; if you don't be angry, your gods will be harmonious; if you don't worry, your heart will be cool; if you don't seek: if you don't be humble or arrogant; if you don't hold on, you can be round or square..."
