Chapter 18 Inquiry
After having dinner with Li Zhiping, he was absent-minded when he chatted later because Wan Zixuan was worried. Li Zhiping saw it and did not try to keep Wan Zixuan after the meal. After saying goodbye, he sent Wan Zixuan away.
Wan Zixuan took a taxi to his uncle's house. In the car, Wan Zixuan also thought that he had gone last night and went again tonight. For his uncle, he might think that he is really weird and has a thick-skinned face. After all, he is just an outsider and is not familiar with him, so he can keep running to other people's houses.
However, Wan Zixuan couldn't care about so much. In his heart, his uncle and others were always relatives. Although he could not express his true identity before he was reborn, it didn't matter if he was treated as a thick-skinned person. He would have been in contact with him for a long time in the future.
Wan Zixuan didn't call his uncle in advance. At this time, he felt that his uncle should be at home. He went straight to the floor where his uncle lived. Wan Zixuan knocked on the door outside the door. Sure enough, it was his uncle Jiang Tongkai who came to open the door.
When Jiang Tongkai saw Wan Zixuan, he was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Wan?"
"Mr. Jiang, I'm here again, there's no way I'm not welcomed you." Wan Zixuan said with a smile.
"Of course not." Jiang Tongkai looked at Wan Zixuan in confusion. Just as Wan Zixuan thought, Jiang Tongkai really felt that Wan Zixuan, a young man, was a little strange. He met by chance in the cemetery yesterday, and Wan Zixuan ran to his house last night and came again tonight.
Wan Zixuan walked into the living room and saw his aunt Yang Ting watching TV. He smiled and said, "Aunt Yang is watching TV."
"Well, it's Xiao Wan." Yang Ting looked at Wan Zixuan, turned her head to look at her husband, with a little inquiry in her eyes, thinking that it was her husband who asked Wan Zixuan to come. Until she saw her husband shook her head, Yang Ting looked at Wan Zixuan with a little surprised.
Jiang Tongkai asked Wan Zixuan to sit down, and his eyes swept across Wan Zixuan's face from time to time, obviously he was very curious about Wan Zixuan's intention.
"Mr. Jiang's life now seems quite comfortable." Wan Zixuan looked around the living room. It can be seen that before he came, his uncle should have been sitting with his aunt watching TV.
"It's okay." Jiang Tongkai smiled slightly, occasionally staring at the TV. The 8 o'clock Ji'an evening news was playing on the TV. This is a must-see for Jiang Tongkai every night. Although he has retired from his leadership position and his work in the CPPCC is all in vain, Jiang Tongkai still cares about big and small things in the city. Deep in his heart, he has the desire to make a comeback. Unfortunately, that is destined to be just an illusory thought. The ten thousand families that were at their peak in Nanjiang Province have long disappeared. Jiang Tongkai also knew that his career had come to this point. Now that he is retiring, he still doesn't know if he can enjoy the treatment of a main hall.
Wan Zixuan was silent for a moment, but for a short while, he was thinking about how to organize the wording, and the question was also wise. He was already very "abrupt". If he asked directly, it would really make people even more suspicious.
After accidentally glanced at the news scene on the TV screen, Wan Zixuan saw a familiar face and was talking to the camera. The city leader who talked about "people's livelihood construction" was Jing Yifeng.
With a sudden inspiration, Wan Zixuan smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, Deputy Mayor Jing seems to be quite familiar with Brother Zixuan. I remember when I was still in the provincial capital, I came out to have dinner with Brother Zixuan. I met Deputy Mayor Jing once. At that time, he was still working as a secretary for the leader. I saw Brother Zixuan greeting him, and the two looked very familiar."
"Yes." Jiang Tongkai's face turned gloomy when he heard this, but it disappeared soon. He just said lightly, "Zixuan might have been familiar with Deputy Mayor Jing in the past, but what does an old saying say, "You know people, but not your heart. Xiao Wan, you have just entered society, and you should remember this sentence even more. Do things with others and be more careful in your heart."
Wan Zixuan was slightly stunned and looked at his uncle steadily. His uncle's words were obviously something in his words.
"Look at Jing Yifeng wearing glasses, he looks gentle, but no matter how I look at his face, I feel like a traitor." Yang Ting suddenly said.
"Uh..." Wan Zixuan looked at his aunt in surprise. He thought that her aunt was not such a mean person, but tonight, not only did she say something in her uncle's words, but also revealed strangeness in her aunt's words.
"Yang Ting, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Tongkai glanced at Wan Zixuan and scolded his wife softly.
Yang Ting curled her lips and said nothing more. Jiang Tongkai looked at Wan Zixuan again at this time, "Xiao Wan, are you here to find me tonight?"
"Oh, nothing happened. I just came to Ji'an, I had no friends, and I didn't have a place to play. I just met Mr. Jiang yesterday. I'm fine at night, so I thought I'd come to Mr. Jiang's house again. Mr. Jiang wouldn't think I'm a thick-skinned person." Wan Zixuan said half-jokingly.
"No, no, my wife and I are usually at home at night, and it's quite deserted. It's good to sit for multiple people, it's a little lively." Jiang Tongkai smiled, and said this, but he felt that Wan Zixuan, the young man, was indeed quite thick-skinned.
"Yes, I will come and sit often from now on. Mr. Jiang should not chase people away at that time." Wan Zixuan said with a smile.
"How could that be? Our Jiang family has a minimum hospitality method, let alone you are Zixuan's friend." Jiang Tongkai smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, since you have a good relationship with Zixuan, don't call Mr. Jiang. I think you are only twenty-seven or eight years old. I am almost two years older than you. If you don't mind, call me Uncle Jiang."
"Okay, I don't like being polite. Mr. Jiang said this the most, so I'm not polite. From now on, I'll call Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang has a really good eye. I'm exactly twenty-seven this year." Wan Zixuan said with a smile. He felt that this title was much more comfortable than calling Mr. Jiang. Before, he had been calling his uncle "Mr. Jiang". Wan Zixuan felt very uncomfortable.
Jiang Tongkai nodded with a smile, and he was almost numb to Wan Zixuan's familiarity.
"By the way, which department did you transfer to the Women's Federation to work? I am still familiar with your Women's Federation director Song Wenfen. She is also the deputy director of our CPPCC and has a lot of contact with you." Jiang Tongkai said.
"I am currently the director of the Women's and Children's Work Department. I don't know whether I will be transferred in the future." Wan Zixuan smiled, but was slightly surprised by Jiang Tongkai's words. It seems that Song Wenfen, the director of the Women's Federation, is still a high-level unit, because the Municipal Women's Federation is only a department-level unit. Logically speaking, Song Wenfen, the director of the Women's Federation, is a department-level cadre, but Jiang Tongkai said that the other party also had the title of deputy director in the Municipal CPPCC. It is obvious that Song Wenfen's rank is a deputy department department.
Wan Zixuan was thinking, Jiang Tongkai's slightly surprised voice had already sounded, "You are only twenty-seven years old and are already a full-time student, which is amazing."
"Uncle Jiang is joking. If we are amazing, we will not be in the Women's Federation." Wan Zixuan smiled and said in his heart, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the truth."
"Haha, you are still young and have opportunities in the future. There is an old saying in the officialdom, "Do not bully the young, who dares to say that you can't jump over the dragon gate in the future?" Jiang Tongkai smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's because of my old bones, I have no hope in this life, so I can only retire from the CPPCC until I retire."
"Uncle Jiang, you can't say that. An old horse is in the stable and has a thousand ambitions. Besides, you are still not old." Wan Zixuan shook his head. It would be fine if he had not been reborn. Since he was reborn and now he has the opportunity to help his uncle, how could he let his uncle be frustrated?
"The officialdom is a place where people and resources are concerned. I have no connections and no resources, so it is impossible to go up." Jiang Tongkai smiled openly at this time, "It just so happens that I am used to this kind of life now, which is actually quite good."
Wan Zixuan listened to his uncle's words and remained silent for him. He didn't believe that his uncle would really get used to such a life. This was nothing more than a word of comfort from his uncle. In the officialdom, who doesn't yearn for a higher position?
