Chapter 353 Smarter than expected

It is called dissolved gold.

The dim yellow sun shines on the Huangpu River to the east, and there are pieces of white light.

The afterglow at nearly six o'clock in the evening looks a little mild, and a high-end hotel located by the Huangpu River also has a lot of people coming and going.

After punching in and entering the room, Xu Shou quickly loosened the tie tied around his neck and took a long breath. He turned back and said to his follow-up wife Hua Mei, "I can't help it when I'm old. I used to be busy for a few days, but now I can't stand being so busy for a long time. Alas, I can't accept my old!"

Huamei closed the door, changed her shoes, and said, "You are only in your fifties. You are so old. You are a young official at your level. Look at those secretaries today, even if they dye their hair, they can't hide their old age.

Xu Shou touched his hair and said with a smile, "I also dyed my hair. Political needs and image problems. Alas, in order to look less old, we old people have tried our best. However, there is nothing we can do if we get old on this day. Time will not spare people.

Hua Mei looked at him carefully: "I hope you can retreat, so that you can spend more time with your family. Unlike now, I'm so old that I have to fly here today, fly there tomorrow, and go everywhere!"

Xu Shou smiled gently: "I'm fine. It's the secretary. I don't have to run every day. The governor is even more pitiful. He is in charge of political and miscellaneous affairs. Some of them have to be dealt with by him, and even go abroad in two days. People at our level don't have much intention to do any public-funded travel. What a toss!"

Hua Mei sighed: "It's a pity that you can't help coming this time!"

"Yes, I have to come." Xu Shou also sighed.

When I came to the Shanghai market this time, I was divided into seven for business and three for self-interest. Participate in a meeting of secretaries of the same level here. To be precise, it is a division meeting of some zhengzhi families.

Who do you want to divide up?

The Bai family and other forces that have fallen!

In June, the storm of the fight against corruption [***] and criminal behavior a while ago has completely subsided, and the Bai family, who has been in politics for 30 years, has completely collapsed. Except for Mr. Bai and other people, almost no one in the Bai family has a good end, such as the Bai Jiansheng brothers and others, sentencing and shooting.

The senior officials in their family who have committed crimes also have double rules and double rules. The detention, and the lightest ones are also punished by dismissal and transfer. The whole power of the Bai family collapsed, accompanied by some small groups attached to their family.

The fall of such a large power group will inevitably leave a big power vacuum. If it's too dazzling, it's all right - these people below are not the ones to make the decision, and the people above will come forward to deal with it. However, in addition to high positions, there are many positions below that are also quite attractive, which is enough for people in this faction to be stuffed with many talents.

And of course, the most interesting thing is the large number of economic groups left by the Bai family's group companies. Nowadays, it is different from the past. In today's world, politics is also inseparable from money. Therefore, the tens of billions of economic groups left by the Bai family are bound to attract the attention of many people.

The Bai family did not fall out of thin air. It was the result of the joint efforts of several groups and factions. Although the premise is the emergence of the criminal information, if there is no one to exert pressure and improve convenience on it, with the strength of the Bai family over the years, it will really let them get through the difficulties.

Now, it falls down, and this distribution of benefits is, of course, based on credit. The Ye family made the greatest contribution. It was the Ye family who exerted invisible pressure at the high level and risked the consequences of offending countless people if they failed, and crossed the Bai family. They are the greatest contributors and deserve the greatest benefits. This is also everyone's default.

However, in addition to the Ye family, there are also many people who have made great efforts, such as Secretary Xu Shouxu, who is attacking head-on, and the Hua family standing behind him. In addition, the forces of Guoan, public security and other departments have also participated in it.

If there are more people, there will inevitably be disputes. If there are disputes, they should be solved through negotiation.

Xu Shou came to Shanghai for this. Because there is a political bureau in Shanghai who has collapsed and vacate the largest seat, everyone dares not take this seat, but because this seat leads to a lot of interests. Therefore, the Ye family, together with several other companies, plans to hold several family meetings in the vortex center of Shanghai to discuss the aftermath.

Of course, this is a tacit theme for everyone. In the name of Shanghai, some senior officials are invited to hold an exchange meeting here - but those who can be present are some powerful officials who have made great efforts in the Baijia incident.

Xu Shou, as a relative reader, represents the Hua family in a certain sense, but after all, he is a person who is about to rise to a high position and can't come forward in everything. Therefore, the Hua family is represented by his wife.

The couple arrived in Shanghai three days ago. The next day was a visit, the next day was a meeting, and then several families moved separately for some negotiations. The struggle that should be fought for, the compromise that should be compromised, everything is carried out in a tense and fierce competition, but it is methodical.

Put on a pair of slippers, Xu Shou sat by the bed and took a breath and said, "Huamei, I think I'll go back tomorrow night. I can't stay here longer. After all, I still have something to do. As for the specific ending, you can leave some. How's it going?"

"I have no problem." Huamei expressed understanding.

"Then it's settled."

Huamei sat next to Xu Shou and suddenly asked, "Lao Xu, there is a question I want to ask you for a long time. In the past few days, I have inquired about some inside stories through observation and listening. I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Xu Shou was stunned.

Hua Mei said in a deep way, "It is said that you and the Ye family have provided a very detailed information about the fall of the Bai family this time - enough information to cause the Bai family to die. When I came to Shanghai this time, I heard some rumors that the information was compiled by the national security department, because soon after you handed it in, they also submitted a copy of the same information to the people above for reference. However, according to my observation of you in those days, you didn't get this information from the personnel of the national security department. So, can you tell me how you got this information?

Xu Shou, who was still smiling, slowly put away his face and gradually became serious. He looked at Hua Mei: "Why do you ask this?"

Huamei sat down a little, put her hair away, and said indifferently, "One piece of information can defeat the strong Bai family that no one dares to provoke. Do you think everyone can not be curious about the identity of the provider?"

"Hey hey." Xu Shou smiled strangely, "I don't think it's curious, but mostly afraid, right?"

Hua Mei snorted when she heard the words: "Just think we're afraid. Okay, I admit, I'm here to help the Hua family find out the news. Although the matter of the Bai family is about to end, the capital is still panicked. Even our families are worried about whether there will suddenly be such a piece of information that can cross their own family! After all, after so many years and after that great era, no one can guarantee that their whole family will be innocent!"

Xu Shou's face became more serious: "If I haven't done those things, what are you afraid of?"

Hua Mei stared: "How dare you say that you haven't made a mistake for many years? Do you dare to say that you haven't made any mistakes? As far as I know, if you have a criminal record in your private life, right?

Hearing Hua Mei's old story again, Xu Shou was embarrassed for a while: "That thing is over. What else do you mention? Besides, she has appeared before I was with you..."

"I don't want to mention it!" Hua Mei snorted, "That's just the truth. Tell me, who gave you that information?

"I know who it is. What are you going to do?"

"We..."

"Kill him? Buy him? Or intimidate him?" Xu Shou sneered, "No matter how you deal with it, you have to worry about whether you will leave your tail. It's better to know nothing than to be scared all the time! As before, the weather is still fresh, the sky is still clear, and nothing is going on.

Hua Mei was stunned for a moment and said, "The problem is that now that things have happened, we can't pretend that nothing has happened."

Xu Shou glanced at her: "Since you are so worried, with the energy of your Hua family and the Ye family, what can't you find?"

"The point is that we can't be sure." Hua Mei sighed, "In terms of the Ye family, we know that Han Bing provided it; as for the national security, it is also the people of Yangcheng who are doing it. As for the inside story, because the people involved are related to the military and are managed by the general manager. Unless my grandfather comes forward, he can't control it."

"Did your grandfather come forward?"

"No, he is still the same, the clouds are light and the wind is clear."

"This is the smart person." Xu Shou smiled gently and straightened his face, "Huamei, I can only say, don't get mixed up in this matter. Like your grandfather, don't pay attention to anything and don't force it. In addition, I also warn you that the people of the Bai family dealt with them because they offended them. If you... hey hey."

Huamei was shocked and said loudly, "Lao Xu, are you threatening us? What does he have to do with you? Is it your illegitimate daughter or illegitimate child?

Xu Shou's face changed and he said in a low voice, "Hua Mei, are you going to quarrel with me again?"

Huamei softened her attitude and said angrily, "Why are you so fierce? You don't allow me to say a few words about what you did wrong? Aren't you working so hard to protect that future technology company just for your precious daughter?

Xu Shou was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Well, even if I have selfishness. However, to be honest, I don't know the details of the future technology company, and I'm also curious about how they came out of this information. Anyway, don't mess with them.

Hua Mei snorted, "Say it, it's still for your daughter!"

Xu Shou sighed and smiled bitterly: "Huamei, didn't you say you wouldn't be hostile to her? You also said that you would allow me to ease my relationship with her. You now..."

"I can't scratch it with two sentences!" Hua Mei roared.

"All the way!" Xu Shou quickly coaxed, "It's my fault. It's my fault. I apologize to you, okay?"

Hua Mei turned her head and ignored him.

Xu Shou looked twice and hesitated, "Hua Mei, I have something to tell you..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Xu Shou's hesitating, Hua Mei was also very strange.

Xu Shou hesitated even more: "You should know that our family Lianyou is going to Yangcheng today. Look at the time. Now the plane should be landing..."

"Of course I know!" Huamei said angrily, "Don't worry, I have made arrangements. Although we are not in Yangcheng, I have told my cousin over there to pick up Lianyou and arrange this night. You can go back tomorrow, and I will go back in a few days at most, and then our family can be reunited. Are you happy now? Lianyou asked you to persuade you to stay in Yangcheng to work. I can tell you that our family Lianyou is a rare medical talent. Many foreign institutions have invited her to join us. She came back from sacrificed a superior environment for this family. You have to care more about her, you know?

"Yes, yes, care, care..." Xu Shou nodded repeatedly and glanced at Huamei, looking very embarrassed.

Huamei suddenly became suspicious: "Lao Xu, something is wrong with you. What on earth are you... going to say?"

"I..." Xu Shou hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, last night, I asked your cousin to cancel the trip."

"Cancel the itinerary?" Hua Mei was confused, "What do you mean?"

"It means that I don't have to let him pick up Lianyou."

"What!" Huamei immediately stood up and said, "Xu Shou, what the hell are you doing! We are not in Yangcheng, and the servants are on holiday. What kind of exercise program do you want to do at this time? It's okay if you don't care about Lianyou. I've arranged it well. Why do you disturb my arrangement? You... What the hell are you doing!"

"Don't worry, listen to me!" Xu Shou quickly stood up to comfort her, pressed her to sit down, and then slowly explained, "I didn't say that I didn't care about Lian You. I just cared about her, so I did it. I have asked someone to pick up Lianyou. She should be very happy to see this person.

"Have you arranged someone?" Hua Mei was stunned and said, "Who did you arrange? Xiao Tang came to Shanghai with us. You don't even have a relative there. Who did you arrange?

"I..." Xu Shou paused and couldn't go on.

Huamei was stunned for a long time and slowly reacted. Her face changed. She stood up again, looked down at Xu Shou angrily, and pointed to his fingers and trembled a little, "You... Xu Shou, you let... she pick up Lianyou? You..."

Xu Shou quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to help her: "It's good to let them meet, after all..."

"You bastard!" Huamei took off Xu Shou's hand and stared at Xu Shou. Her hair looked like a hedgehog. "Xu Shou, did you burn your head and let your girl pick up our daughter? You... What are you going to do to play a good show for a family?

Xu Shou looked a little anxious: "I'm also for their good, for the good of our family."

Huamei sneered: "For our good? If it's for our good, you shouldn't take the girl home and don't get too close to her. Xu Shou, I allow you to communicate with her. You're fine. You've got an inch. Now you actually asked her to find Lianyou. Do you want to make us sad? Are you trying to kill her?"

"I didn't!" Xu Shou shouted in a low voice and looked around. Then he continued to say, "Hua Mei, listen to me."

"I don't listen!" Hua Mei shook her head suddenly, thought for a while, and lowered her head to pack up **'s clothes.

"What are you doing?" Xu Shou frowned.

"I'm going back to Yangcheng, go back now!" Hua Mei's voice sobbed, "Since you don't care about our daughter, I'll go back to take care of her. I don't care about the family or the power. I just want our family to be happy! I will definitely go back and stop your daughter from seeing her!"

"It's late." Xu Shou said, "It's six o'clock now. I guess Lianyou has got off the plane, and Wan Qing has already waited for her at the airport."

Huamei stopped her hand and quickly went to find the phone: "I called Lianyou and asked her to go out of the other channel. I don't allow her to see that woman!"

"Pianyou has agreed to this matter." Xu Shou said such a sentence.

"What?" Hua Mei was stunned with her mobile phone and looked up, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Shou smiled bitterly: "Do you really think I'm so reckless? Let me tell you, I have already contacted Lianyou before arranging for Wan Qing to pick up Lianyou. Yes, I called her just before she got on the plane. I told her my arrangement, and she... agreed to my arrangement.

"Agree? It's impossible!"

Xu Shou looked at her and said seriously, "Nothing is impossible. Huamei, Lianyou has grown up and is no longer the child you want to protect. As you said before, she knows more than we thought, including... the existence of Wan Qing!"

"Bang!"

Hua Mei's mobile phone fell to the ground. She was stunned and muttered, "She knows everything?"

Xu Shou nodded and said slowly, "Reiyou is a very smart child, smarter than you and I think, which is not only reflected in learning! She... agreed with my arrangement and even comforted me that she would get along well with Wan Qing..."

At this point, Xu Shou smiled bitterly.

Huamei was silent and slowly walked to the window of the house. Looking at the sunset outside, she stood for a long time, and then a faint sigh came.

................................................ The broadcast in the airport lobby sent the news that the plane from New York to Yangcheng had landed.

It was getting dark outside, and the bright lights in the hall made the ground white.

Lu Hong feels a little awkward, and the sign in his hand is a little unnatural. Although the three big words "Xu Lianyou" on it are more beautiful, he feels like a pet wearing a dog brand!

Hold this sign and look at the passengers coming out of the airport. It's really like the animals being watched in the zoo.

However, he still has to hold it up. He can't let the two women next to him lift it, can he?

Chen Yuyan and Xu Wanqing are like very good sisters, sticking together and holding hands and waiting.

"Xu Lianyou, Xu Lianyou..." Lu Hong kept thinking, "Other people have come out. What are you still dawering? Are you deliberately letting me make a fool of myself to the end? Come out quickly. Your mother is waiting for you to come home for dinner!"

After waiting for a long time, a woman with a suitcase in the people's bank slowly came to them, looking at them doubtfully.

"Xu Lianyou?" Lu Hong's eyes lit up, and there was already a beautiful woman dressed in fashion than the two women around him.
