Chapter 64 The lingering ghost

Xia Jinxian accompanied Tan Qing to the banquet.

When they arrived at the hotel, Tan Qing still looked like a rebellious girl who was reluctant. Xia Jinxian ignored her and met with the person who had pulled the strings, who claimed to be Director Zhang.

The other party was very enthusiastic. After shaking hands with them, they briefly introduced the people attending the dinner.

In this kind of game, there are usually a few unrelated guests. Who the key person is may not be known after the meal.

When he learned that Xia Jinxian had been in the Secretarial Department of the CPPCC, he said, "No wonder Miss Xia looks familiar. Maybe we have met before. I am from the taxation branch."

After Xia Jinxian told him, he immediately remembered that this person seemed to be from the taxation branch . Chief of Staff of the Branch.

When she was in the CPPCC, she had investigated tax reform issues, so she had encountered it.

In this way, he guessed who was the host upstairs. Xia Jinxian said quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't even react. So it's Director Wei Zongyi who came upstairs in person?"

Director Zhang nodded and answered.

Xia Jinxian had only thought that Xu Yanqing had invited friends from related companies, but who knew that he had actually invited the director of the taxation bureau to come forward? This was too embarrassing.

She pulled Tan Qing's sleeve in private and went upstairs with Director Zhang with a smile.

There was another round of greetings upon entering. Xia Jinxian had long been accustomed to this kind of scene. He helped introduce Director Zhang around. Xia Jinxian's speech and behavior were very appropriate.

Director Zhang is also used to seeing the world, so when he saw Xia Jinxian and Tan Qing acting like this, he knew that although he was working for Tan Qing, the person Bureau Wei wanted to take care of was Xia Jinxian.

Xia Jinxian took Tan Qing and specially stayed with her in the last seat.

There were two accompanying guests, probably related to Tan Qing's design company, and they actually wanted Tan Qing to sit next to Bureau Wei.

But Director Zhang was well-informed and knew who the leader wanted to take care of, but he didn't want to be too explicit, so he stayed with Xia Jinxian and asked a vice president of the design institute to stay with Tan Qing on the other side.

During the dinner, Bureau Wei glanced at Xia Jinxian from time to time, and Xia Jinxian always responded appropriately and raised his glass in greeting.

Her low-key style and decent behavior really left a good impression on Wei Zongyi.

Vegetables have been served during the meal. In Shanghai, it basically means that after three rounds of wine, everyone who needs to be toasted has been toasted, and it’s time to get down to business.

Xia Jinxian winked at Tan Qing, took the wine pitcher, and took Tan Qing to toast Wei Zongyi.

Wei Zongyi had already raised his glass. At this moment, the office director Zhang, who was also very knowledgeable, came over with a wine glass and a wine flask.

After Xia Jinxian asked Tan Qing to briefly explain the ins and outs of the matter, she then said to Wei Zongyi, "Wei Bureau, I have to trouble you about this matter."

As she said that, she held the cup and smiled.

Tan Qing said, "Director Wei, I'm not here for the prize money. It's just that since this competition is held, there should be fair rules and integrity. If you can be so confident after plagiarizing a work, where is fairness and justice? Is it just a sentence? Do you understand that the final right of interpretation belongs to the organizer? I am just so angry!"

After hearing this, Xia Jinxian pulled the emotional Tan Qing and said, "With Bureau Wei helping you, what are you worried about? "

People outside the system always feel that the world should be reasonable.

But those who are familiar with the operating rules know that everything is just power.

Wei Zongyi held a cup and listened to Tan Qing chattering, but his eyes fell on Xia Jinxian.

The two of them clinked glasses, and Wei Zongyi only said, "Xu Yanqing just obeys all orders."

It seemed that Xu Yanqing had already conquered a group of his own people in just half a year. After listening to Tan Qing's long speech, Wei Zongyi just said to Xia Jinxian, "I will know about this later." 

Big words and doubts. 

Xia Jinxian sighed secretly, how could she tell a simple person like her about the methods involved? 

The operation of power cannot be explained to outsiders. 

For tax purposes, is it a big deal to find a reason to make a small company bow its head? 

But there is really no way to explain this to outsiders. Resources are inherently scarce, and power is even more so. 

Everyone wants power to be used for themselves. Those who scold them every day are just asking for it but not getting it. 

After all, those who can be selfless when they really hold power are only a very small number, or even non-existent. Political science studies nothing more than how to divide the cake better. 

And the reason why we need to study it is because we can never tell clearly. 

Seeing Tan Qing's doubts, Wei Zongyi of course would not explain, but just said, "Don't worry, Miss Tan." 

The dignified tax director had already said this, Xia Jinxian pulled Tan Qing and said, "Thank you, Director Wei." 

She He poured half a cup into Tan Qing's wine glass, and poured the rest into his own wine glass. He raised the glass and said to Wei Zongyi, "Thank you." 

Tan Qing actually had no idea what was going on at this table. But Xia Jinxian drank the wine with the clear look in her eyes. 

Then the people at the table chatted for a while before leaving. 

But the topic basically had nothing to do with the design competition that Tan Qing participated in. 

After coming out of the hotel and waiting for the driver, Tan Qing asked Xia Jinxian in a daze, "Is this reliable? You won't be deceived, right?" 

Xia Jinxian smiled, knocked on her head and said , "Even if you are cheated, it's not me who pays for this meal, so don't worry about it." 

Tan Qing was completely out of sorts, she said, "Why can't the people in your system speak clearly? What are they going to do?" 

Xia Jinxian was very helpless and said to her, "If you explain everything clearly, what will happen next? The people you were looking for at that time promised to help you solve it? Question, but what about the result? Don't look at the appearance of many things, but also look at the actions. You should go ahead with your design." 

After hearing this, Tan Qing felt a little angry. 

Xia Jinxian sighed, smiled and rubbed her head and said, "Let's go, the driver is here. Let's go back." 

Wei Zongyi agreed to help Tan Qing handle this matter, and Xia Jinxian felt relieved. She wanted to treat Xu Yanqing. Go and say thank you to him. 

But it would be too intrusive to simply say thank you. 

But his current marital status is not suitable for him to have anything to do with him. 

So, thanks to this matter, it has been put on hold indefinitely. 

In the elevator that day, Xia Jinxian and the other three deputy directors were called to the conference room of the Construction Bureau to greet Jin Yiping, the new director of the Construction Management Center. 

A group of people were crowded in the elevator, silent to each other. The two deputy directors had heard that Jin Yiping was a difficult person to deal with. 

In addition, no one showed up, so they were even less in the mood to welcome the new leader. 

No one pressed the floor button, and the elevator went directly to the underground floor. 

Xu Yanqing just came back from a meeting in the city. He was flipping through his cell phone with his notebook under his arm. When the elevator door opened, he saw someone in the elevator. He glanced at the floor display strangely.

When he looked at them again, he saw Xia Jinxian huddled inside.

Everyone else in the elevator opened their mouths to say hello to Xu Yanqing.

Xu Yanqing just nodded coldly, then entered the elevator and turned his back to everyone.

Xia Jinxian stood farthest away from him, with her head lowered, but she smelled his pleasant scent and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Xu Yanqing suddenly turned around, Xia Jinxian looked up suddenly, their eyes met, Xu Yanqing nodded gently to her.

But this action is just like ordinary colleagues, there is nothing special.

But just because of this action, Xia Jinxian readjusted her mood to face her incoming boss, Ms. Jin Yiping, who had been extremely harsh to her.

The appointment ceremony was extremely grand. Not only Zhao Yuanzhou, the director of the Construction Bureau, but also a deputy director of the Organization Department also attended, which gave Jin Yiping enough face.

Jin Yiping looked at her future subordinates filing in, so she raised her head high, looking really proud of herself.

Among the deputy directors, Xia Jinxian is the new one. The other three have been working in the Construction Management Center for a long time, and one of them is still a senior engineer.

Logically speaking, such professional departments often select cadres from within.

Who would have thought that this time a cadre was transferred from an 18th-line department like the Archives Bureau, and I heard that he was the deputy director with a bad reputation. Naturally, everyone was upset. They also knew that it was just stuffed in place, right?

Seeing Jin Yiping's arrogant look, several deputy directors also had dull expressions on their faces.

Jin Yiping glanced at Xia Jinxian with an expression of disgust.

She had already heard about the situation of the Construction Management Center from the Organization Department and the Construction Bureau. Of course, she was not satisfied with Xia Jinxian's appointment as deputy director. Surgery.

When she was in the Archives Bureau, Xia Jinxian was punished. She knew the ins and outs, and she was the one who instructed Chen Meiying to do this.

It can be said that Xia Jinxian's punishment was purely a man-made disaster, and the person who orchestrated it was Jin Yiping.

Who made Xia Jinxian fall in love with that old pervert from the director as soon as she came in?

With the olive branch offered by Li Yun, she fought off her love rival, and step by step, she became a deputy director from a section member, and now she has made a fortune and became the director of the Construction Management Center.

She felt it was necessary to report Xia Jinxian's current situation to Li Yun, and also take credit for it.

After the Organization Department announced her appointment, she finished her statement and immediately sent a message to Li Yun to express her gratitude to Director Li for his care and that she had been transferred to the Construction Management Center.

When Li Yun received this news, she was accompanying Han Yun to receive a client.

She has been a mother-in-law for so many years, but she is worse than a daughter-in-law.

Facing this daughter-in-law who came from a wealthy family, Li Yun never dared to say no. Whenever Han Yun and Xu Yanqing had any unpleasantness, she would always turn to Han Yun, hoping to win the respect of the Han family and the Su family in a flattering way.

However, the result of this is that in Han Yun's eyes, this mother-in-law is her second nanny. Once she encounters some sesame and mung bean problems in the Shanghai branch, she will take Li Yun out. .

Han Yun's idea was also very simple. Since Xu Yanqing could not let her enjoy the treatment that an official wife deserved, she would get it back from her parents-in-law.

Anyway, her background is strong enough, who dares to touch her?

Li Yun agreed to the other company's help in negotiating the two floors of a state-owned building they wanted to rent, and paid the rent at a very low price.

And this company promised to sign a long-term consulting contract with Han Yun's company in the next five years. To put it bluntly, it would transfer the portion of the rent saved every year to Han Yun's company.

Han Yun is now very good at playing this game.

After Li Yun helped negotiate the deal, she had time to look at her phone.

She is also very busy with official duties. Among these messages, the text message sent by Jin Yiping, an unknown number, seems inconspicuous.

Jin Yiping waited for a long time, but did not wait for Li Yun's reply.

Accompanied by Zhao Yuanzhou, director of the Construction Bureau, she went to Building 2, where the Construction Management Center is located, and met with the business section chiefs of her subordinates. When she finished her work, she was about to get off work.

Jin Yiping did not give up and continued to send messages to Li Yun.

Li Yun saw Han Yun off, sat in the car, and was taken to the airport by the driver to prepare for a business trip.

She saw the screen of her phone light up, opened it and saw the words Xia Jinxian in the text message, and then she paid attention to it.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, this name actually appears again.

She naturally remembered who Xia Jinxian was.

This was the scheming girl she had spent so much effort to drive away from her son, and who wanted to gain access to their family.

So, she read the message carefully.

She didn't remember the old events so clearly, but now that Xu Yanqing had returned to the new district, she found out from the news that Xia Jinxian was still working in the new district.

This made her couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Xu Yanqing hadn't forgotten that foxy girl back then?

Li Yun has been a sophisticated person for a long time, so naturally she would not believe that there could be such a steadfast love in this world.

But she had to guard against a woman like Xia Jinxian rekindling her old relationship with Xu Yanqing through those old events.

Xu Yanqing never mentioned the past events in these years, which made Li Yun feel that those were just a derailed indulgence when his son was young, and there was nothing he could never forget.

And back then, Xia Jinxian finally chose to marry the boy she arranged, which shows that she is not a very aloof woman who is difficult to get along with.

Anyway, she has seen it before, but it can never be compared with Han Yun.

However, the news from Jin Yiping made Li Yun want to test Xu Yanqing.

She always felt that Xu Yanqing insisted on divorcing Han Yun because there was probably someone outside.

She and her husband Xu Wenbin did not know the status of Xu Yanqing's marriage in recent years. After all, Xu Yanqing was far away in the capital and it was difficult for the couple to take care of them.

Although he occasionally called to give instructions, Xu Yanqing couldn't say a few words and hung up on the excuse that he was busy with work.

Now that Xu Yanqing is back, although this experience is indeed a bit embarrassing, it is not the worst yet.

Li Yun was determined to help repair the relationship between Xu Yanqing and Han Yun. Now that her son was back under her nose, of course she had to hold him down and not let him act rashly again.

Xu Yanqing accompanied Xie Benchu ​​to inspect companies in the district over the weekend. Li Yun called Xu Yanqing. Xu Yanqing glanced at it and didn't answer. He just replied to the message saying that he would work overtime.

Of course Li Yun was angry that her son was so rebellious, but since he went to the capital, the relationship between her and Xu Wenbin and their son had become even more estranged.

Several times, Su Liumei called, occasionally blaming her, but she could only laugh.

At the beginning, she called or sent messages from time to time, asking Xu Yanqing to calm down and live a good life after the marriage.

Later, Xu Yanqing stopped answering calls and messages. She went north on a business trip, but he either avoided seeing her or acted extremely cold. Only during holidays could he make a phone call as if he was following the rules, which left her helpless. .

She knew that she could no longer control her son.

Li Yun then asked Li Zhiqi about Xu Yanqing's arrangements for today, and learned that Xu Yanqing was accompanying Xie Benchu ​​on the visit.

Xu Yanqing, He Mingdong and Xie Benchu ​​were following closely at this time. It was obvious that his son was well versed in the ways of officialdom. As a deputy, he could only serve the top leaders wholeheartedly, otherwise it would be difficult for him to move forward.

Li Yun thought about it again and again, and finally spoke up, asking Su Liumei in a low voice to come forward and ask Li Zhenghu to arrange for a central enterprise to cooperate with the new district.

This state-owned enterprise is an empire built by Li Zhenghu's father. Over the years, its business has spanned many fields, mostly in the insurance industry.

As long as Li Zhenghu nods, companies will definitely respond.

Su Liumei said, "You also know that Jianjun and Kaiyuan were talking about the Guoxin headquarters earlier, right? You Yan Qing, as long as you give in, who will embarrass him? After all, he is our family, and he is fine now. With Feng Qing, Pai was wearing a pair of trousers and didn't look at Financial Street. Half of them were named Li. Do you really think I didn't grow up in the compound? Doesn't he know what my relationship is with Li Zhenghu?"

Li Yun quickly apologized ? He said, "Yan Qing is ignorant, Liu Mei, for my sake, give me a chance to talk to him."

Su Liumei seemed a little angry, but she didn't say anything.

She said, "I think Yan Qing is determined to divorce Xiaoyun. The children's matter is not a problem, but the old man at home is not in good health these days. My father has been busy with his career all his life. You also know that among his children I am most concerned about Xiaoyun. If there is something wrong with Xiaoyun, my dad will definitely not be able to get through this. "

Li Yun said quickly, "I know, I know, it's okay for Yan Qing to return to Shanghai now. I have been trying to persuade him."

Su Liumei . He said, "Sometimes I can't do anything about the two children. I think Yan Qing really doesn't care about Xiaoyun. Any other person can treat Xiaoyun better. If this is the case, life will not go on. That's okay, but these years, Yan Qing and Xiaoyun have been husband and wife. Husband and wife are not ordinary friends. I can let him come with nothing, and I can also let him leave cleanly. Ayun, we have been friends for so many years. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If he divorces Xiaoyun, he may not only lose everything, but also have to spend several years in prison."

Li Yun felt cold sweat on his back.

She asked, "Over there in the court, the verdict was indispensable last time, right?"

Su Liumei laughed, which made Li Yun's scalp numb.

Su Liumei said, "Ayun, to be honest, I regret letting Xiaoyun marry Xu Yanqing. This son of yours, I couldn't tell you, is really nothing."

Li Yun kept apologizing. Since Xu Yanqing's marriage, her son The mother-in-law has no status anymore. She has to please her in-laws and coax her daughter-in-law, but she can't do anything about her son.

When Su Liumei said this, she sighed again and said, "Ayun, don't blame me for being cruel. If Xu Yanqing really did anything to disgrace Xiaoyun, I would never be polite to him."

Li Yun asked bravely, " What did Yan Qing do?"

Su Liumei said, "I'll send you some photos and you can see for yourself. I'll tell Li Zhenghu, but remember, people who can help you now can also torture you in the future. Think about it yourself."

After saying that, Su Liumei hung up the phone and sent a few pictures.

It was a photo of a girl sitting across from Xu Yanqing.

The location was mostly in a bookstore, and they were basically sitting by the window. Judging from the clothes, they were not from the same period. The two people were talking and laughing, and they were basically in love.

Li Yun was so angry that she was shaking all over and forwarded the message to Xu Wenbin. The couple talked on the phone, both determined to bring Xu Yanqing back and tie him to their own boat.

There was a response from Li Zhenghu soon, and Li Yun naturally also had concerns.

This central enterprise is a financial enterprise that the New District is trying to cooperate with, and it is very large.

This central enterprise is currently setting up a digital financial services group, which will be led by this company and jointly funded by a number of banks, insurance and financial companies.

The group's future capital involvement will be nearly 500 billion.

When Li Yun accompanied the city leaders to the capital for negotiations, He Mingdong asked someone to ask, but she never responded.

For her, it was okay to help with the matchmaking, but she had to get some benefit from it.

Making Xu Yanqing obedient and living a good life with Han Yun is the greatest benefit to maintaining the development of his family.

In fact, the city has already discussed this central enterprise, and it must be located in this city. It just depends on which district it is located in.

But Li Zhenghu had warned before that as long as Xu Yanqing came to talk, he would not agree to it unless it was Su Liumei who spoke.

Now this matter is still pending, and several districts are trying to fight for it from the city. The Municipal Assets Committee is taking the lead on this project, so Li Yun is naturally in charge.

Now Su Liumei opened her mouth to Li Zhenghu for the purpose of helping Li Yun, that is, helping Han Yun, and Li Zhenghu agreed.

In fact, when He Mingdong came to see Li Yun before, she had checked in with Xu Yanqing.

How could Xu Yanqing not know that this central enterprise was the headquarters of Li Zhenghu's faction, and Li Zhenghu was the only one who followed suit?

However, Xu Yanqing was unmoved.

Li Yun knew that Xu Yanqing had also campaigned for the establishment of this group, but with no results.

Xu Yanqing would rather abandon the near and seek the far away than accept the olive branch offered by the Su family and the Li family. This made Li Yun very angry at her son's rebellion.

Li Yun got a reply from the other party and called Xie Benchu. On the pretext of helping the district to sign a cooperation framework agreement, she also asked him to negotiate.

Of course Xie Benchu ​​accepted the gift from Li Yun.

But Xie Benchu ​​also knew that there is no free lunch in the world. Li Yun naturally had her own intentions in doing this. Xie Benchu ​​was waiting for Li Yun's next words.

Li Yun is very skilled in business, and all the issues he talks about are dealt with, and there is no special private matter involved.

At the end of the phone call, she said to Xie Benchu, "Yan Qing is my son, but when it comes to official matters, I always ask him to handle business affairs with integrity, so who will handle this matter, I will follow your arrangements, and thank you." She has always cared about and cared for Yan Qing. "

These words are reasonable and sound, and most people think they are reasonable, and they will think that Li Yun wants her to take care of her son, but she doesn't want to be too deliberate. .

But Xie Benchu ​​felt that the matter was not that simple, but this gift was sincere enough. Xie Benchu ​​naturally appreciated it and said, "Yan Qing is in charge of the economy, so of course we asked him to handle it. We are reassured by his character, and we are grateful to Director Li for training him." Such an outstanding son."

Li Yun agreed with a smile and only said that she would like to thank Ben Chu for taking the trouble to arrange the match.
