The breeze blew the white curtains, with a refreshing fragrance of grass after the rain. Chen Hongtao stood in front of the window blankly, immersed in this strange atmosphere, as if he wanted to make his mind clearer.

With an effort to control his erratic consciousness, Chen Hongtao really didn't know whether he should be overjoyed, at a loss, or be happy at this time.

"Hongtao, you just woke up not long ago. Don't stand in the wind for a long time. It's not as rainy as in summer. Be careful of catching a cold." Guan Jingxiang reminded her son with concern.

Chen Hongtao closed the window, not worrying his slightly haggard mother too much.

When he returned to the bed and sat down, Guan Jingxiang had already opened the thermos on the bedside table: "Hongtao, I had notified your father earlier that he would be able to rush back from the Liaodong Military Region in the evening. Your uncle and the others have already arrived in the morning. Now you are awakened safely, and your mother will also tell your grandfather the good news." Confirm that his son is not seriously injured, Guan Jingxiang then calmed down and smiled with a dignified and beautiful face.

Hearing his mother Guan Jingxiang's words, Chen Hongtao nodded in ponderingly: "Mom, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee is about to be held, so you can go and do it too. I am not in a serious condition now and I am living in the hospital, so there will be no trouble." Chen Hongtao, who has read the desk calendar, naturally knew that this time period is quite busy for his mother who works in the Propaganda Department.

Chen Hongtao was born in an extremely prominent family in the capital. The old man of the Chen family is one of the most powerful elderly people in the Republic.

At this moment, the old man's body should be very strong, and Chen Hongtao's memory of the old man was limited to awe.

Seeing his son taking the porridge bowl and drinking the still warm white porridge, Guan Jingxiang felt relieved and sighed secretly, and turned her eyes to An Jing, who was standing a distance from Chen Hongtao's hospital bed.

"Hongtao, you have been in a coma these days, Jinlan has been taking care of you. Girls are thin-skinned, why don't you say anything?" Guan Jingxiang couldn't help but remind her son who was drinking porridge.

"Thank you..." Although Chen Hongtao's expression was calm, his complex tone still revealed his ups and downs.

Speaking of which, the union between Chen Hongtao and Wang Jinlan is purely a political marriage.

Compared with the Chen family, Wang Jinlan's family has a slight difference in popularity and authority, but they are also a big family in the Republic and have huge energy in both the political and business circles.

Wang Jinlan has begun to learn to manage business affairs at home at a young age. Although the Chen family has a deep roots in the political system, there are no strong and powerful talents in business.

As the third generation of grandson of the big red family, Chen Hongtao is not a political heir who is focused on training by the family, relying on the family's political resources and Wang Jinlan, he is also a match.

At this time, the political situation in the country was relatively stable, and the old man of the Wang family had not left the front line of power. The Wang family also had a certain foundation in various ministries and commissions. Therefore, the combination of Chen Hongtao and Wang Jinlan made many insiders envious.

Unlike other political families, the Chen family has always had a tradition of early marriage and early childbirth, which is why Chen Hongtao got married so early.

"Hongtao, don't worry about the Aviation Academy. In the past, you have been studying there and have no chance to go back to Beijing. This time, I took this opportunity to take a break for a while. Anyway, I'm about to graduate, and my mother will arrange it for you." Feeling that his son's mood was different from before, Guan Jingxiang said to Chen Hongtao, who looked calm on the surface.

Hearing his mother's words, Chen Hongtao's expression moved slightly. He would not remember correctly. September 1985 was the stage when he was about to graduate from the First Aviation Academy. In the near future, he would become a real fighter pilot in a certain Air Force division.

At this time, aviation schools were not known to most people. Chen Hongtao was very successful in studying in the school with the special recruitment of the army. He had the connections between the Chen family in the army. After graduating from the school, it was just a matter of just one sentence.

However, in the previous life, Chen Hongtao did not rely on the Chen family's connections in the military, but obeyed the distribution of remote war zones and went to an air force base in Xinjiang. Later, he relied on his excellent military qualifying and was promoted to a deputy military colonel before the age of 45. Of course, this has something to do with the promotion of pilot cadres faster than cadres in other systems of the army.

As a modern and high-quality military chief who can fly into the sky and fly into the sea and operate ships in the ocean, if Chen Hongtao doesn't have any trouble, the "market general" is just around the corner.

In his previous life, Chen Hongtao, one of the few ace pilots in the Republic, loved the blue sky. This is also the reason why he could have been grounded at any time after he turned 43, but still soared in the blue sky.

However, for Chen Hongtao, who was sitting on the hospital bed at this time, those memories seemed to have become distant in an instant.

Towards his son who seemed too calm, Guan Jingxiang gave a few more instructions.

Just as Guan Jingxiang was about to leave and wanted to leave space for her son and daughter-in-law to be alone, Chen Hongtao, who had little words after drinking porridge, suddenly spoke: "Mom, after graduation from the Aviation Academy, please help me arrange for my own career choice. I don't want to join the army."

Not only Guan Jingxiang's expression suddenly changed, but when he heard Chen Hongtao's request, even Wang Jinlan, who was standing in the ward and his expression remained calm, had a strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Hongtao, are you serious? Although mom doesn't want you to join the army to suffer, choosing a job independently is not a trivial matter, especially your father and your grandfather, who will not agree." Guan Jingxiang reminded her son hesitantly.

Before graduation from high school life and culture courses for more than a year, Chen Hongtao entered the First Aviation Academy with the special recruitment of the army and started a three-year flight training and further study. This kind of thing is simply unattainable for ordinary people.

Seeing that his son was about to graduate from the Aviation Academy and entered the army, his future was bright, but at this time he proposed to choose his own career. Why did Guan Jingxiang not be surprised!

It is not impossible to help his son choose a job independently, but as a member of the Chen family, Guan Jingxiang has to consider the family's views on this matter.

If he followed his son's wishes, Guan Jingxiang could even predict the old man's anger and the turmoil caused by this incident in the Chen family.

Feeling his mother's sorrow, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile slightly on his face, and sighed in his heart that he was born in a big family. While enjoying the power that others envy, he also had to bear responsibilities and obligations beyond ordinary people, just like his marriage to Wang Jinlan.

In his previous life, Chen Hongtao's marriage ended in failure. Unexpectedly, after this rebirth, he still had a gorgeous tragedy.

"Mom, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee is about to be held, and the old man has no time to pay attention to me. You can help me with the future. Let's talk about the matter in the future. Anyway, the three generations of the Chen family have fewer children, so no one will give me any hope." Chen Hongtao said calmly to his mother.

Chen Hongtao was not wrong. Now it is no longer a wartime era. It is better to be in politics than to join the army. The three generations of the Chen family said that there are not many more, but there are not many less. There are nearly a dozen men and women. Among them, there are several direct descendants, and some of them have started to make their mark in various ministries and commissions, and they are highly expected by everyone.

Compared with the other three generations of the Chen family who were slightly older, Chen Hongtao attended the Aviation Academy, but he was not very conspicuous.

"Hongtao, my mother still has to discuss this with your father and ask for your father's opinions. In fact, my mother doesn't want you to go to the army. It's not convenient to live without the hardships. Now that you are already married, you have to think about Jinlan. Now that you are about to graduate, it's okay to go back to Beijing to work in the government office. At that time, you and your wife can have more time to get together, and I will find time to convince your father." Although I didn't say the matter too much, later, Guan Jingxiang still expressed her support for her son's ideas.

Realizing the meaning of my mother's words was to hope that she could enter politics. Chen Hongtao asked calmly: "Mom, how has our Mingzhu Group developed in the past two years?"

When Guan Jingxiang heard her son ask about her own business, she looked a little surprised and looked at her daughter-in-law in the ward unnaturally: "It's okay..."

Seeing the embarrassment hidden in my mother's eyes flashing, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Mother Guan Jingxiang would be unnatural, and Chen Hongtao was not surprised."

Chen Hongtao clearly remembers that the Mingzhu Group in his family will no longer belong to him in a short time.

Mingzhu Group was founded by Chen Hongtao's foreign public relations Chengzhi, integrating small-scale commerce, construction, industry, minerals, jewelry and investment. In China in the 1980s, it gradually had the shadow of a comprehensive holding group.

Unlike large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, Mingzhu Group is completely a sole proprietorship group of the Guan family. The Guan family's children are not prosperous. In the generation of Chen Hongtao's mother Guan Jingxiang, only she is the only daughter. After Mr. Guan passed away, the entire Mingzhu Group naturally fell into the hands of Chen Hongtao's mother.

However, Guan Jingxiang did not inherit the business talent of the business family, but chose to go into politics. At this time, Mingzhu Group relied on the political background of the old Chen family to maintain the reselling of the "approval document". After it developed to a certain extent, it showed signs of becoming increasingly weak.

Not many years after the country has implemented reform and opening up, the planned economy still dominates. Even if it has the idea of ​​transforming to a market-oriented economy, there will inevitably be severe friction and collisions in ideological consciousness.

In addition, some subtle situations in the domestic political situation have made the pressure from private enterprises stand out. If it were not for the support of the Chen family's political background, Mingzhu Group would have fallen into the hands of Guan Jingxiang, who is not good at managing, would have been even more difficult.
