Chen Huai's tone of questioning was also very ordinary, but Song Bingsheng felt embarrassed. He seemed to be able to feel the disdain and provocation from the depths of Chen Huai's seemingly plain questioning. He turned his head and looked at Chen Huai for two seconds before he came to his senses and responded: "Oh, it's mainly about some work in agriculture and forestry..." After saying this, he stopped talking, as if Chen Huai was not qualified to listen to Zhong Limin talk to him about the specific details of agriculture and forestry work.

Chen Huai did not expect his "father" to be so guilty. He neither dared to conceal the fact that Secretary Zhong talked, nor did he dare to tell him about this matter alone. He was so guilty that he told him about this matter in front of outsiders such as Wei Fuming.

Chen Huai looked at the wine in the glass in silence. Although the environment in Tengyou Township is poor, there are still a few bottles of good wine. Chen Huai picked up the wine glass, put it on his nose and sniffed it lightly, and smiled at Wei Fuming: "Secretary Wei, this wine is so fragrant."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Wei Fuming wanted to say a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but suddenly he found that he didn't know what to say. He felt a little embarrassed in such an occasion. Thinking of Song Bingsheng and Chen Huai's father and son, what's the point of pulling him in? He could only pretend to be meaningless and smiled: "The wine smells good, then drink two more glasses. The countryside is dark and there is no way to arrange other activities later..."

Whether it is in terms of economy, finance, taxation, employment, or the driving force for the development of surrounding areas, Xiapu occupies an extremely important position in the province's local construction and development. It is only in accordance with the practice that the top leader of Xiapu County is a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee.

Since the development of Xiapu was created by Chen Huai, Chen Huai would not surprise people who were familiar with the situation when Chen Huai was the secretary of Xiapu County Party Committee and the member of the Standing Committee of Donghua Municipal Party Committee, or even served as a member of the provincial party committee. Especially this time, Chen Huai entered the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group and went up to the level of his position.

Some people may not understand why Chen Huai has been unable to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee. Perhaps they will attribute all this to Chen Huai's age and term of office - after all, Chen Huai has officially served as a county-level department-level cadre, and it has not been three years since Chen Huai has been officially appointed as a county-level department-level cadre.

As an upper class figure in the official pyramid of Huaihai Province, Wei Fuming knew that Vice Governor Song Bingsheng had actually become an obstacle to his son's continued rise in the province; within the province, father and son were at the same time, which was somewhat dazzling.

Provincial Party Secretary Zhong Limin directly discussed the promotion and appointment of Chen Huai, and his intention was very clear, that is, he hoped that Song Bingsheng could give up space for Chen Huai's promotion; while Song Bingsheng's response to Zhong Limin said that Chen Huai was still young, lacked experience and needed exercise, which clearly rejected Zhong Limin's kindness.

Wei Fuming thought of Song Bingsheng's stubborn request yesterday that he would not tell Chen Huai that they were also in Huaishan. He thought to himself that Secretary Zhong of the Provincial Party Committee might have talked to Song Bingsheng these two days. After arriving in Huaishan, he knew that Chen Huai came over the same day and could not get rid of that strong emotion, right? As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to be an official, and I don't know how many people in the officialdom rely on their uncles and elders to promote themselves. Song Bingsheng probably never thought that he would be an obstacle to his son's promotion and appointment?

Tengyou is in remote areas, without a formal hotel, and the township government does not have a so-called guesthouse. There are only a few private hotel rooms, which are very simple. This time, when we arrived in Tengyou, everyone had many entourages, and they couldn't stay in the two small hotels. Chen Huai used the excuse to understand the hydrological and geographical situation of Tengyou Township, so he stayed at the home of He Chaogui, the Party Secretary of Tengyou Township for a night.

******************************

Early the next morning, Chen Huai had just gotten up and brushed his teeth in the yard. Song Bingsheng specially asked Zheng Gang to come and tell him that they were going back to Huaishan City, and the two groups separated.

Chen Huai was about to leave Huaishan late and rushed to Huaixi with Hu Shuwei. He stayed in Huaixi for one day. He had seen the construction of Qingfeng Power Industrial Park, Germanium Iron Refining Base and Qingfeng Power Plant Phase II project, and then rushed back to Xucheng overnight.

Although Cheng Yi could ask the Provincial People's Bank for a separate house after the two got married, Chen Huai's position changed a lot and he might change his position in three to five years. Cheng Yi also had her own career plan and could not confirm where she would settle down for a long time. The two had no intention of settling their home in Xucheng, so Cheng Yi was still the same in the Provincial People's Bank, living in a dormitory building with convenient living.

It was already eleven o'clock when we arrived in Xucheng.

Chen Huai asked the driver and Du Jian to drive to the office station in Xu. He took out the key and went upstairs alone. When he opened the door, he saw Cheng Yi wearing pajamas and sleeping soundly on the table. There was a book pressing under his face; a coat slipped on the floor.

In the late April night, the weather was still a little cold. Chen Huai took off his coat and put it on the sofa. He was about to walk over and carry Cheng Yi to the bed when the phone in his coat suddenly rang.

The ringtone was loud, Cheng Yi woke up from her sleep, yawned, grabbed the coat that had slid to the ground with her side, and said, "I still thought about waiting for you to come back while reading the book. I didn't expect that this book was so boring. After reading four or five pages, the sleepy bug came..."

Cheng Yi's delicate face put two light red marks on the pages of the book. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly under the lamp, and her sleepy eyes were still charming.

Chen Huai took out his cell phone from his coat, glanced at the number, and said to Cheng Yi: "It was my sister-in-law who called me. I don't know what happened to my sister-in-law when I look for me so late?" He sat down next to Cheng Yi to answer the phone.

Cheng Yi held Chen Huai's arm, leaned over, leaned against his shoulder, and listened to him on the phone with his sister-in-law, but when she heard her sister-in-law persuaded Chen Huai to think more and not care about whether she could serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee in a short period of time, she realized that the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin had talked to Chen Huai's father to promote Chen Huai as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, but stopped him by Chen Huai's father.

Cheng Yi asked in surprise when Chen Huai hung up the phone: "Have Secretary Zhong talked to your father about this?"

Chen Huai didn't know how to say this now, so he felt so upset that he just sighed meaninglessly.

Chen Huai didn't talk about these things to Cheng Yi on the phone yesterday. He put his cell phone on the table. He felt physically and mentally exhausted. He lay on the sofa with his legs crossed and his head rested on Cheng Yi's plump and strong thighs. He told Cheng Yi what he encountered with his father in Huaishan and said:

"I didn't know about this in advance by Secretary Zhong when he talked to him about this matter. If he didn't say it, Secretary Zhong wouldn't have told me about this matter. This matter would be over and no one would mention it again. He was guilty and thought that Secretary Zhong would tell me about this matter, so he met me in Huaishan, so he told me about it in front of Wei Fuming, secretary of Huaishan Municipal Party Committee. He was probably afraid that I would go to the old man to sue him, so he wanted to take the initiative and call my sister-in-law tonight, wanting her to do my ideological work - I really don't know, is he so guilty for such a broken thing?"

"Your father still doesn't understand you after all." Cheng Yi didn't want to scold his father in front of Shen Huai, but was angry about this matter. Chen Huai's father was unintentionally transferred from Huaihai to make more room for development for Chen Huai, and could not force himself to say that his fault. However, if Chen Huai's father didn't talk about this matter, it was certainly impossible for Secretary Zhong to take the initiative to talk to Chen Huai about this matter. Cheng Yi never thought that Chen Huai's father would talk to Chen Huai about this matter when the secretary of Huaishan Municipal Party Committee Wei Fuming and other outsiders were present.

If this matter is spread, in the eyes of others, it is likely that it is a laughing stock between Chen Huai and his father and son. If this matter is spread to Secretary Zhong’s ears, what would Secretary Zhong think?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi asked Chen Huai: "What would Secretary Zhong think if he knew about this?"

"Yes," Chen Huai said, looking at the ceiling, "I also thought that he might not have deliberately told this in front of Wei Fuming and others because he was purely guilty."

Cheng Yi could roughly infer that another kind of disturbance that might exist in Chen Huai's father's heart. Although Chen Huai's father told the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin that he had no intention of leaving Huaihai on his own initiative, it did not mean that Zhong Limin could not directly submit a motion to Chen Huai as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee at the Provincial Standing Committee meeting.

For Chen Huai, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, the driving force is greater than the resistance.

Chen Huai was only thirty years old, his term of office in the district and county leadership position was low, and his father served as vice governor in the province, etc., were all unfavorable factors that were further allocated and appointed in a short period of time. However, all these unfavorable factors seemed somewhat dull before Xiapu County's construction achievements in recent years.

Once Chen Huai has achieved absolute results, he is nominated as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee or even serves as a member of the Provincial Party Committee, the pressure will be transmitted to his father.

Everyone thought that Chen Huai should be a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee. At this time, isn’t Chen Huai’s father the one who should take the initiative to avoid suspicion?

In the eyes of Shen Huai's father, he might be convinced that Chen Huai is the kind of person who will do everything to clear up all obstacles in order to climb up. In order to prevent Chen Huai from joining forces with the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin to force him, he publicly exposed the father-son conflict with Chen Huai, so that the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin had some concerns and would not force Chen Huai to promote Chen Huai.

Perhaps this speculation is closer to the true face of the facts.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi sighed lightly.

In order to submit to Song Qiaosheng, her father forced her brother, who was full of grievance, to abroad. He has not interacted with each other for many years. This incident made her see through the vain and coldness of politics. However, today she didn't expect to see Chen Huai's father actually had a deep intrigue with Chen Huai on such a thing. She really couldn't imagine how Chen Huai would feel?

Cheng Yi bent down and hugged Chen Huai tightly in his arms, wanting to comfort him.

Seeing that Cheng Yi was also depressed, Chen Huai reached out and patted her beautiful face, which was close to her, and said, "Since I came back from Yunnan, I have no such father in my heart, so no matter how he thinks or does it, it has no effect on me - you don't have to be angry about me. Otherwise, in your eyes, I don't know what the official mistress looks like."

"I didn't say you are an official fan." Cheng Yi said coquettishly.
