Chen Sitou wore reading glasses and sat alone in the living room, compared with when he was the secretary of the provincial party committee in Zhijiang Province, his face was much rudder, he hadn't seen him for more than two years, and he seemed to be younger.

"Why, staring at me hard, don't you know me?"

The orderly sent a cup of hot tea to Sang Meiying and Chang Ning, and after withdrawing, Chen Sitou looked at Chang Ning and said with a smile, his voice was still so soft and calm.

"Chen Ji, you, you are younger than before."

Chang Ning, who had just touched the sofa, habitually jumped up again, obediently walked behind Chen Sitou, and massaged him flatteringly.

"Really? The mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, well, it seems that it is okay in Xijiang, and there is no water and soil unsuitable. ”

Since Chen Sitou was promoted to a member of the Politburo, a secretary of the department and the head of the Central Organization Department, Chang Ning came to visit for the first time, and he specially called him "Chen Ji", with Chen Sitou's literati-like sentimentality, the quasi-insurance will evoke the memories of the years in Zhijiang Province.

"Chen Ji, what do you say, you conspired with my grandfather to drag me out of Zhijiang Province and throw me to Xijiang Province, I, I don't dare to touch those chili peppers until now, and I have lost several pounds."

Chen Sitou laughed, his face was quite smug, and he slowly twisted his head to Sang Meiying's side.

"That's your old man's idea, don't settle the account for me, Comrade Sang Meiying, I will give you a task, and strive to let Xiao Chang learn to eat chili peppers within a year."

Sang Meiying sat there, gradually fading away from the crampedness and nervousness, and said respectfully: "Minister Chen, with your instructions, Xiao Chang will definitely do it." ”

In fact, Sang Meiying doesn't need to be nervous at all, Old Man Ning has seen it, with Chen Sitou's status, the strongest aura, and it is difficult to compare with Old Man Ning, she didn't know much about Chen Sitou before, Chang Ning provided a lot of information on the way here, plus the "careful preparation" in the past few days, she was completely able to "pass" smoothly.

Chang Ning's hands deftly roamed on Chen Sitou's shoulders, in the end, he was an old man, his muscles were a little loose on the man's two shoulders, like two lamps of life, in a sense, more important than the mind and heart, Chen Sitou's shoulders were quite full, although they were slightly flawed, they were rare thick and broad.

"Chen Ji, do you know that Governor Sangfu is also your admirer, and your "Understanding the Vastness" and "Imagining the Sea" are placed on the shelves of her office."

"Oh, really?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

Chang Ning obviously felt that Chen Sitou was refreshed, and his heart was happy, and he squeezed his eyes at Sang Meiying.

Sang Meiying smiled and said, "Minister Chen, if it weren't for Xiao Chang, I wouldn't have known that you were the author of these two collections of essays, please sign me first." ”

As she spoke, Sang Meiying took out two collections of essays from her bag.

It is also Chang Ning's cleverness that has played a role, when Sang Meiying went to Xinhua Store to buy, she tried to find the earliest version, after buying it, in order to make the new "old", Chang Ning also got some leaves and cooked some soup, Sang Meiying didn't know what he was doing, anyway, the two essay collections looked like they were alive and turned old.

"Haha, this little Chang Na, something will happen."

Chen Sitou smiled, took the two copies handed by Sang Meiying's hands, and nodded at Sang Meiying while flipping through them.

Chang Ning took the opportunity to say: "Chen Ji, I heard that you are working on the third book, can you have a sneak peek?" ”

When Chen Sitou heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he reached out and patted Chang Ning's hand, "Good boy, you have done a good job in intelligence work, and you are still thinking about my baby, aren't you?" Go, don't mess up my room. ”

Chang Ning responded happily, turned around and went to the room next to the living room.

There is also a small story in this, when he was in Zhijiang Province, Chang Ning and Yang Yang went to his house once in order to thank the matchmaker Chen Sitou, Chang Ning naturally likes to hunt for curiosities, and once in Chen Sitou's room, he found that he treasured a set of the earliest version of the four famous comic books, there are more than 30 volumes, so that he loves to spare his hands, never forget, and wants to take it for himself, so he instigated Yang Yang, and tried his best to reveal his wish to Chen Sitou, so that he could have a mental preparation to endure the pain and cut love, and he suffered from no opportunity before, Now that you can get in today, of course you can't miss it.

Chang Ning entered the room, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and began to sweep through the boxes and cabinets, since he came, what else was there to be polite.

Some people use the traditional method of sycophancy to please the leader, and only Chang Ning will use some unique methods to deepen the leader's memory of himself.

Chang Ning also didn't want to stay in the living room as an "electric light", this door visit, although Chen Sitou knew what he meant, but after all, he had never seen Sang Meiying before, which was equivalent to an interview, for Sang Meiying, it was the last procedure before progress, and Chang Ning was of course inconvenient to participate in it.

Politics is not complicated, complex politics is just an artificial illusion.

The door of the room was hidden, he could hear the sound of the conversation, and he couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, Chang Ning sat down at the table in a big way, lit a cigarette and smoked it, he was only interested in the "trophies" of the table, and he didn't bother to look at the so-called internal references and top-secret documents.

The conversation in the living room lasted for half an hour, and it wasn't until Sang Meiying came and knocked on the door that Chang Ning was able to come out of the room.

Chen Sitou, who stood up, saw a bundle of comic books in Chang Ning's hand at a glance, "Haha, you kid is robbing." ”

Chang Ning hurriedly slipped to the door of the living room, salivated and said: "Chen Ji, when the head of the Central Committee speaks, you have to pay attention to the words, isn't it just a few villains, it's useless for you to keep them, I will reluctantly help you deal with it." ”

Chen Sitou slapped Chang Ning's ass with his hand, his eyes revealed love and kindness, "Take it, even if I return you a favor, you gave me the recipe for eight-treasure five-flavor porridge at the beginning, and today I will give you a set of comic books, and we don't owe each other." ”

Chang Ning grabbed Chen Sitou's arm, and said with a smile as he slowly walked into the courtyard: "Chen Ji, next time I will bring a recipe that is better than the Eight Treasures and Five Flavors Porridge, so that you can continue to owe me favors." ”

"Okay, good, it's a deal." Chen Sitou smiled heartily, paused, and said slowly, "Xiao Chang, stay in Xijiang with peace of mind, work hard, and if you encounter any problems in the future, you must report to Comrade Sang Meiying for instructions." ”

"Chen Ji, please rest assured, I will definitely remember your teachings."

Chang Ning answered, secretly glanced at Sang Meiying, who was following behind, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

What a beautiful night, the sky is full of stars, the courtyard is quiet and serene, Chang Ning's mood is suddenly better, tonight's harvest is too great.
