After the fourth day of the lunar month, Zhao Guodong had to leave Qu Yunbai and flew back to the capital. Liu Ruotong also flew back from Astana. No matter how necessary the etiquette was, he had to come. Fortunately, he was working in the capital now, and many relationships that he usually traveled around did not need to be deliberately managed. Some gifts were given a slightly unique gift, which was a good idea.

After all, everyone is busy around the Spring Festival. If you go there, it will be difficult for others to not receive it. It is another matter when you receive it. Everyone thinks it is troublesome, but it is still difficult to speak.

Zhao Guodong grasped the mentality of everyone at this time very well, and chose Huaiqing's Qingping Qingzhen Tea, Ningling Flower Forest Qilinguan Jasper Milk Wine and Biwushan Black Tea, which were all three-piece. He tried some effort to ask specialized craftsmen to wrap them with specially customized art advertising paper. It looked unique and made people know at a glance that it was a local specialty from Anyuan.

The people who want to give gifts are people who have nothing to lack, but the key is that they have to get their hearts. If you have gifts, others may not remember them. If you have gifts, they may remember them. If you have no gifts, they will probably remember them. This time you neglect this time, it means that you may really feel that it is unnecessary next time. This relationship is often indifferent without realizing it.

Zhao Guodong's status in the Liu family is very unique. In addition to the two brothers Liu Tuo and Liu Yan and Liu Qiao, many people in the Liu family did not take much attention to this little bureaucrat who seemed to be a bit arrogant. So even people in the circles like Shen Dongzhao knew that a daughter of the Liu family had recruited a local bureaucrat. However, Zhao Guodong's later performance quickly broke the impression of the Liu family's children, especially after Zhao Guodong was transferred to the position of director of the Comprehensive and Planning Department of the Ministry of Energy, this feeling was completely subverted.

Perhaps they can ignore the mayor of a prefecture-level city in the local area. After all, it is too far away, but they must not underestimate a director of a department of the Ministry of Energy, especially a key department such as the Planning and Development Department. Even if they think someone helps Zhao Guodong, they dare to sit in such a position and sit safely and have a good time, then they can't do it without some ability.

Liu Yan had long been making a fuss in his family, saying that Vice Premier Jianbang was optimistic about Zhao Guodong's performance. After listening to Zhao Guodong's speech at the China Energy Security and Development Forum, he specifically asked Zhao Guodong about some of his views on issues, which made the children of the Liu family restrained their arrogance.

The influence of the Red Family is fading, and sometimes outstanding people may emerge and become active in the political arena, but they cannot change the general trend. Grassroots elites are rising. This is an unavoidable reality. Lu Jianbang is a member of the grassroots elite. He is from an ordinary family and starts step by step in the enterprise after graduating from university. Until he enters the political arena, his current position is different from Vice Premier Wen. It is difficult for him to praise people, and even fewer people can win his approval. This is recognized in the political circle.

It was in such a specific environment that Zhao Guodong gradually entered the political center of the Liu family. When he arrived at this position, both Liu Zhongping and Xu Jianing had recognized that Zhao Guodong's performance was enough to be the best among the members of the Liu family. This means that when necessary, Zhao Guodong could already use the potential connection resources of the Liu family to help him.

To stand firm in the Liu family circle, ability and ability are of course very important, but the wider system that this circle system radiates and involves is often needed to maintain and consolidate. For example, a relationship like Chen Dongzhao means that the Liu family must deliberately make friends with each other, and even Liu Zhongping is a former subordinate of Chen Dongzhao's uncle.

"I heard from Minister Cai that Vice Premier Jianbang has noticed the views of your Asian International Strategic Institute. Although it is a bit biased, the direction is still worthy of recognition. He put forward the difficulties and countermeasures facing the PLA in its development. He heard from Minister Cai that Vice Premier Jianbang believes that the research on these aspects can be more detailed and broader, and do not stick to some of the existing views, and see if we can put forward views that are more suitable for our country's national conditions and international situation."

Zhao Guodong glanced at Liu Ruotong, who was busy in the distance. It seemed that Liu Ruotong had been away for a long time in this circle, so many people were surprised that he and her appeared in such an occasion, so many people grabbed her. On the contrary, they were a little more relaxed. Except for Chen Dongzhao and others, the other guys who knew that they were very high-profile at first glance have not paid attention to them yet.

Gatherings in this kind of circle often start with an unreliable origin, but this time it is very reliable.

Chen Dongzhao was 40 years old, and according to the rules of being a man as a false woman as a full woman, that is, Chen Dongzhao was 39 years old. At the same time, he also celebrated Chen Dongzhao's just promoted to the colonel and the 39-year-old colonel. According to Zhao Guodong's knowledge, although this is not unique, it is also rare in the army.

The Liu Chen family was a family-friendly family in the war years. Although the leaders of the two families were greatly impacted after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relationship between the two families became closer. Until the troubles were rectified, the two families returned one after another and maintained very close contacts. Until the leader of the Shen family passed away, and the leader of the Liu family could no longer show up in public due to his health. The second generation of the Chen and Liu families began to rise in politics, and the relationship between the two families gradually became flat. However, it should be said that the relationship between the two and the three generations still maintained close contacts.

Chen Dongzhao is a very independent and special character. Although it is a birthday party, he only had a lunch meal. In a very simple and neat way, he gave a footnote to his soon-to-be-for-nostalgia. Then he provided a platform for free entertainment and communication for a group of guests.

Most of the older generation of guests and self-reliance in their identities asked people to send gifts, and most of the people who could attend were friends with close relationships in Chen Dongzhao and guests who had to invite due to historical origins in this circle. Although Chen Dongzhao did not want to expand the scale, some things were not something he could decide. This was not just a ceremony, but also a etiquette and rule.

"Do you still keep your low profile and keep your shortcomings?" Chen Dongzhao's sharpness was as sharp as ever. "In the first twenty years of reform and opening up, this strategy was undoubtedly correct and could win us a peaceful and stable development environment. However, the international situation is changing now, and the United States, which has lost its constraints, is already a little lost. If the various actions of the United States do not pose a threat to us, it is obvious that this is impossible. The United States is deviating from our earliest predictions on the Taiwan Island issue, the Indian Ocean strategic channel issue, the Middle East-Central Asian oil interests issue, these issues are all deviating from our earliest predictions."

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. You want to develop safely and steadily, but when it poses a threat to your strategic core interests, can you still avoid and speak? That will only make the other party misunderstand, mistakenly think that this is not the core interest you are concerned about, mistakenly think that you can give in to these aspects and make the other party gain a better position!" Chen Dongzhao talked freely, and a few fellow enthusiasts had gathered around him, all of whom listened to his performance with interest.

"And from another perspective, instead of suddenly explosive rise in the future, it is better to have subtle gradual progress now. Whether it is investment in national defense, it should gradually increase its efforts, and the army should also go out in a planned and step-by-step manner. Otherwise, when the Chinese army really finds that it needs to go out, it will face strong public opinion pressure from the outside world. The international community has become accustomed to the image of China, the toothless tiger, and cannot adapt to China with strong force, so that it will be more passive!"

"Dongzhao is right. On issues related to the core interests of our country's strategic interests, China cannot look around and say a word. This will make stakeholders misunderstand our determination. If they do not express their clear attitude in advance, once they reach a certain level, some stakeholders may not intend to compete with China on this issue, but because we did not express our attitude at first, they formed a situation of becoming a thriving force because we did not express our attitude at first, and we could only choose to confront each other. Of course, we are not afraid of confrontation, but it is better to be able to adopt a peaceful consultation method to solve the problem while ensuring that our core interests are not damaged?"

The person who interrupted was a man who was slightly older than Chen Dongzhao. He had a straight figure, wide mouth, thick eyebrows like silkworms, and sharp eyes like swords. This was Lin Musen, a friend of Chen Dongzhao. It is said that he was also a role in the army, but Chen Dongzhao did not introduce the other party's identity.

Zhao Guodong felt that the other party's words were pointed out and pertinent. Keeping a low profile is a strategy, and occasionally showing his edge is also a strategy. How to fit Chinese interests should be adjusted from multiple angles and levels according to changes in the international political situation. The world should be gradually adapted to gradually understand China's strength, and not let the world panic about China's strength. This requires a gradual process, and this needs to start from now on.

"Brother Lin's words seem to have some meaning, but they are directed to the Nanhai area?" Zhao Guodong asked with a smile.

Lin Musen has also been paying attention to Zhao Guodong. Chen Dongzhao pushed Zhao Guodong to a very high position, and even vaguely adopted a role in their specific circle, which made Lin Musen quite curious. Chen Dongzhao's eyes and taste were not ordinary, and it was not easy to match his appetite.
