HBWnovel Chapter 52.1
Chapter 52.1
On behalf of the municipal government, Jiang Xiaochuan returned to the military district to attend a condolence performance. There was also a military music performance organized by the military band in Chengzhou Square, and a military and civilian performance held on Army Day.
When he went to the Chengzhou Military Region, he was bound to meet Yue Qingci, but now that he had completely let go of the past, the matter of Yue Qingci had become a dusty past in his memory.
Before going out in the morning, Jiang Encheng also dressed very smartly. As a veteran of the Vietnam War, he had experienced being misunderstood as a deserter. After so many years of suffering, he was recognized by the organization again. It was August 1st, and he was also interviewed by a TV station. Jiang Xiaochuan and he were both featured as father and son on TV today, but not on the same station or in the same place.
“Be careful on the road,” Jiang Encheng smiled cheerfully.
Jiang Xiaochuan walked out of the house and looked back at Jiang Encheng. He had paid special attention to the old man’s health since he went to the hospital for a checkup last time. Jiang Encheng had slow heart failure. Sometimes he was really worried that something would happen to him, but the doctor said not to worry too much. It would be nice to make the old man feel more comfortable.
Maybe going to participate in a talk show today was the happiest moment for Jiang Encheng in so many years, right? Maybe it wouldn’t even compare to the time when he received the medal.
Today, Jiang Encheng hung up his Vietnam War commemorative medal again.
He replied: “I’m leaving. Dad, you have to perform well today. I will watch your show when I come back.”
Jiang Encheng laughed at his talkative words and urged him: “You should leave quickly. After becoming the mayor, you become popular and good at talking, I don’t know which leaders you learned it from.”
Lian Cheng, Yue Qingci, Qu Zhendong.
All three were connected with Jiang Xiaochuan.
Lian Cheng was Jiang Xiaochuan’s operator, and Yue Qingci was his partner. As for Qu Zhendong – although Jiang Xiaochuan now doubted him, he was still Qu Zhendong’s disciple after all. Even if he borrowed a skin from a tiger, this “skin” would always be there.
Fu Peng had been promoted by Qu Zhendong. Now that something had happened to Fu Peng, Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t know what impact it would have on Qu Zhendong – in fact, there were still many uncertain factors.
However, Jiang Xiaochuan was now so sure and felt there was no suspense anymore.
He couldn’t show weakness when facing Wu Ju, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He needed to show his strength and make people stand on his team. After all, even if he became the acting mayor, he would still have to rely on the people below for future work. If those people sided with Jiang Xiaochuan from the start and followed the direction of the wind, it would be easier to control them in the future.
People who sided with Wu Ju from the start would cause some instability in Jiang Xiaochuan’s future work because they chose the wrong team. This was not what Jiang Xiaochuan wanted to see.
The relationship between him and Wu Ju couldn’t be too tense. According to the current situation, no matter who became the acting mayor between him and Wu Ju, the remaining one would definitely also be the executive deputy mayor. In the future, everyone would work together. They were on the same level, but the level of their positions was different. Too much stalemate would be detrimental to everyone.
Jiang Xiaochuan could think of this, and Wu Ju could probably think of it too, so the relationship between them had been pretty good recently. At least they were harmonious on the surface. As for whether they were harmonious in their hearts, only they knew.
