After listening to Jin Shuai’s reasons, the old man did not speak, stood up and looked at Jin Shuai: “Let me go out for a walk.”

When thinking about problems, the old man likes to go around the woods in the yard. This is a habit he has developed over the years. Jin Shuai helped his grandfather and took off a windbreaker from the hook of the coat and gently draped it on the old man.

The stars are dotted and the bright moon is shining with a layer of hazy silver light. The ancient locust tree in the courtyard, which has experienced many winds and frosts, is still lush with branches and leaves. The huge crown is like a giant umbrella, tenaciously supporting a sky.

The old man walked under the ancient tree, stretched out his hand to stroke the trunk, and sighed softly after a long time: "It's old too."

The old man's words obviously use things to describe people, and there is a hint of helplessness in his words. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and no one can resist this, just like this ancient locust tree. Although he has experienced vicissitudes and age, who can say that he does not have the ability to continue to protect the grass and seedlings under the tree?

The moonlight shone through the leaves and sprinkled on the old man like broken silver. The old man was like a finely carved stone statue, standing opposite to the ancient locust in front of him. Jin Shuai felt indescribable in his heart. No matter how dazzling a person's life is, it is just a meteor in the long river of history. The ancient emperors liked to call him Long Live, but how many people could live for a hundred years?

"Why don't you talk?"

The old man's words pulled Jin Shuai back from his thoughts. Jin Shuai smiled: "Grandpa, I was wondering what kind of scene would it be when our family was living together?"

The old man smiled: "Your skill in flattery is getting longer."

Jin Shuai scratched his head embarrassedly and thought to himself, how could I flatter? Now that I live in my four generations, Shi Tou is fifteen years old this year. At worst, he will get married earlier after graduating from college. The old man is in good health and will definitely see that day.

"I know you are comforting me. Actually, what else can't be overshadowed by the age of me? I have done a lot of wrong things in my life and done some good things. Although I dare not drive 37 like Taizu, I should be able to get 46 points, and my grades are still mainstream. There is a saying that goes, called having a clear conscience. I can proudly say that in my life, I have basically done this in my work, except for some mistakes in handling some family problems."

The old man said this very clearly. He was still worried about the separation of Zhu Mingan and Jin Shuai's mothers, and has been deeply blaming himself for the years.

"Grandpa, the past has passed, we should still look forward."

The old man laughed: "Well said it, look forward, so let's go back to the topic just now. What do you think is the advantageous side of going to Hongzhou?"

"I've just put the favorable side out."

The old man turned around and said, "What you just said is objective factors, so how do you consider subjective issues?"

"Zhou Yuan talked to me the night before yesterday. He said that he tried his best to pull me to Hongzhou and join him, which made us take the initiative."

"You may have used this matter to bargain with Zhou Yuan? So what is your bottom line?"

"In work, support each other and do not interfere with each other. In addition, Zhou Yuan must respect my opinions on the government's personnel arrangements."

The old man nodded: "This condition is not too much. Chief No. 1 has pointed out this in his work report."

"Zhou Yuan did not give me a clear answer at that time."

"So you didn't agree to go to Hongzhou at that time?"

Jin Shuai smiled. He knew that he could not hide these things from the old man: "Since I am already in a favorable position, why not make good use of it?"

"Don't worry, Zhou Yuan will definitely agree. He has no other way."

Jin Shuai understood that the reason why the Central Committee did not send Zhou Yuan to Jiangbei and asked him to go to Hongzhou and gave him three choices to Jin Shuai, which meant that the two had no choice but to go to Hongzhou to form a team. In addition, the Central Committee might have another consideration. The relationship between Zhou Yuan and Jin Shuai was normal, and they had neither got too close nor too far, which also conformed to the principle of balance.

Jin Shuai sighed secretly that these big guys are so scheming and long-term, it is really unimaginable, and they can see clearly the thoughts of Jin Shuai and Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan’s ability to do economics is average. If he wants to make a name for himself in Hongzhou, he must choose a capable partner like Jin Shuai. At this time, the central government gave Jin Shuai three choices, and Zhou Yuan must pull Jin Shuai over.

Judging from the political achievements Jin Shuai has made in recent years, he has rich experience in urban management, but his comprehensive urban and rural governance capabilities are still lacking. If the central government wants to train Jin Shuai as a reserve talent, he must be trained in all aspects.

In addition, Jin Shuai has said many times that the poorer the place, the easier it is to achieve political achievements. The old man knows his ideas well, and he cannot not talk about it in front of the Prime Minister. The East is an economically developed city, and Jiangbei Province has developed well in recent years. Jin Shuai is a pioneering talent. He likes to start from scratch and is unwilling to follow the old paths that others have taken. It is precisely because the central government has taken this into consideration that the three places chosen by Jin Shuai include Hongzhou Province. Maybe this is a test of whether the central government has a view of the overall situation.

"Then I'll go to Hongzhou Province?"

The old man looked at Jin Shuai carefully and smiled with relief: "Make your own decisions on your own business. I have stepped down and will not care about your business again in the future."

By this time, Jin Shuai had already fully understood that letting him go to Hongzhou was probably what the old man and the Prime Minister hoped most. Although Jin Shuai made great achievements in Huadu, Huadu had a good economic foundation after all. If Jin Shuai could improve the economy of the poor place in Hongzhou, it would not only be a good exercise for him, but also make many people shut up. This would be very beneficial to Jin Shuai's future development.

"Grandpa, I want to know how long I can stay in Huadu?"

"The Prime Minister means to ask you to go to Hongzhou as soon as possible. If you don't have too much, I'll give you a month."

"When will Wang Yang go to Guangdong to take up his new position?"

The old man walked forward a few steps and walked under a tree planted by Jin Shuai after he recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown. Looking at the thick and straight trunk, the old man sighed: "This tree has grown up, and since it has grown up, we have to bear the storm alone."

Jin Shuai didn't speak, and looked at the old man quietly. He guessed that the old man had not finished speaking. The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other for a while, and the old man smiled and said, "You ask Wang Yang when he will go to Guangdong to take up his new position. I'm afraid it's for the personnel arrangements of Huadu City."

Before Jin Shuai could speak, the old man waved his hand: "Wang Yang will go to Yuehai to take up his new position next month. He already knows these things. The personnel arrangements you made are beneficial to him to open up the work situation as soon as possible. How could he disagree?"

The old man's words gave Jin Shuai a reassurance, which was consistent with his previous judgment. Wang Yang is from the Zhu family faction, and the people promoted by Jin Shuai are not much different from those promoted by Wang Yang. Wang Yang is not familiar with the place in Yuehai Province and urgently needs a group of loyal people below, but because he is not familiar with the situation of the cadres below, he most hopes that someone can help him at this time, and Jin Shuai's old subordinates are undoubtedly the ones he can rely on the most.

There was a sound of cars outside the door. In a while, Zhu Mingan walked in. Jin Shuai was puzzled, what was the old man doing when he came back so late?

Seeing the old man and Jin Shuai in the yard, Zhu Mingan came over: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Jin Shuai looked up and down at his father, and suddenly felt that his father's back was straighter than before. It seemed that being a member of the Politburo was different from before. The saying "Resident and move your energy, nourish your body" was still very reasonable.

"Dad, you haven't had a rest either."

Zhu Mingan smiled: "Just finished the Politburo meeting, I passed by here and came in to see your grandfather. You happened to be here too, so I won't be able to call you again."

That night, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked together for a long time. When Zhu Mingan left, it was already dawn. As for what they were talking about, it was not something that others could know. However, it can also be seen from Jin Shuai that his eyes were full of firmness and expectations for future success.
