Chapter 25: Tie

Zhao Guodong took him in Anyuan for a full week, staying for two more days than Ling Zhengyue. It is rare to go back to Beijing. After finishing his business, he also has to take into account his personal life.

Gently pressing his head against Liu Ruotong's lower abdomen, and after a while, Zhao Guodong raised his head and smiled and said, "It seems that the little guy is a little moved. He stretches his fists and kicks his legs in your stomach. He is not a calm person."

"It's not that exaggerating, do you imagine it? How long has it been?" Liu Ruotong carefully observed Zhao Guodong's expression, and noticed that there was an indescribable family affection in Zhao Guodong's eyes, and she also felt relieved in her heart.

Liu Ruotong probably won’t be able to say whether Zhao Guodong is ready to be a parent or not, just like him, but the child will have it. When he learned that he was really pregnant, his original nervousness and hesitation seemed to fade away suddenly, and replaced by a kind of indescribable motherly warmth, and he is about to be a mother.

"Maybe it's my sixth sense. This guy should be a boy, well, and he will be a uneasy boy." Zhao Guodong grinned. He didn't care much about gender. As long as the child is his own, it would be fine. The relationship with Liu Ruotong seemed to have entered another realm from the original indescribable feeling because of the child. It was difficult to say clearly for a while, but one thing is certain that this child will truly stabilize the relationship between the two.

Liu Ruotong didn't say anything. Her parents-in-law came to Beijing last month to visit her. She was obviously very excited about her pregnancy. The four sons of the Zhao family seemed to be influenced by Zhao Guodong and both agreed to marry late and have late children. Zhao Deshan didn't say anything, and he had no intention of getting married at all. Every time he talked about this issue, he clearly stated that he would be alone and lively for the rest of his life and never be bound by marriage. Although Zhao Changchuan and Yuanjing had already obtained the marriage certificate, there was no following when to start the marriage. However, it seemed that they would go next year. Zhao Yunhai was about the same and got the marriage certificate. But perhaps because he saw that Zhao Changchuan had not done the marriage, he was also wasted slowly. The brothers in this family were really a bit unique.

However, the matter of her pregnancy seemed to be a shock to the Zhao family. My mother-in-law said that Zhao Changchuan also planned to have children soon after getting married next year. Zhao Yunhai probably is similar. It seems that his demonstration role as a sister-in-law is still quite important.

A faint warmth lingered between the two. Although the marriage and relationship had experienced many twists and turns, and even the two of them could not explain the degree of their relationship, it is unquestionable that at least since the emergence of this little life, the two of them had a common concern in their hearts.

"Guodong, I can see that you are very tired there too. Is it because of the high pressure of work now?" Although the main energy is devoted to this little life in the belly, Liu Ruotong still noticed very keenly that Zhao Guodong seemed particularly tired every time he came back. This time the deep gloom between his eyebrows also proved that he, as the governor, was not as relaxed as he had imagined, and could achieve great things.

"Well, now I feel that it is a world of difference between working in a city and working in a province. I used to think that I am a municipal party secretary and a provincial government can be easy to plan, so it should not be a big problem to be a governor, especially if the top is still a secretary, and I just got what I want to do with the government. Hehe, I didn't expect that the gap between the middle is so big that I was a little arrogant." Zhao Guodong leaned on the sofa and said mockingly, "I underestimated the world and felt that nothing was wrong. Now I feel that I still have a lot of things to explore and learn."

"Guodong, don't belittle yourself. I heard from Liu Tuo that your performance in Anyuan is quite normal. At least no one dares to underestimate you. After all, you are too young and many things need to be accumulated step by step. I think what you need most now is time, step by step, and no mistakes will happen." Liu Ruotong said with a slight pursed her lips.

"Hmph, everyone said this, telling me not to show off or fight for anything, be in harmony with the light and be harmonious. I can do this in one thing, but is everything like this? It can be like this in a month, it is like this in a year, and it is like this in three years? What is the point of using this method to accumulate popularity in order to support my qualifications?" Zhao Guodong's tone was a little contemptuous, and it seemed like he was self-taught, "But if it wasn't like this, it seemed that it was a unique and sensationalism, and it was just a bad place to make a mess of unity. I can wait, waste, and safe?"

"I'm not saying that my opinion is correct, nor do I mean that I have to carry out my work according to the plan. But if you even show your own opinions, you have to look forward to the front and consider the so-called unity, that would be really boring. An Yuan definitely doesn't need such a harmonious atmosphere, which is not good for An Yuan." Zhao Guodong said in a deep voice: "I sit in this position, and I will consider how to coordinate and handle the relationship as much as possible, but I will not give up my own principles in order to please anyone or be afraid of conflicts."

Liu Ruotong looked at Zhao Guodong who seemed to be venting his emotions. Although the other party's expression was still calm, the feeling of being a little emotionally out of control still made her a little worried. She rarely saw him having such a state of mind in the past few years since she and Zhao Guodong got married.

"Guodong, I think there are some things you might as well take a step back and consider. They say that taking a step back and the sky is wider, and taking a step back will naturally be wider. Back is for better and faster progress. Some things may not necessarily have to fight for the winner immediately, nor will they immediately demand a result. If you do it, work hard, and do your best, you will be worthy of yourself." Liu Ruotong observed Zhao Guodong, "On this basis, we will seek the best results, but don't force it."

Zhao Guodong stared at Liu Ruotong and laughed after a long time, "Brother Tuo asked you to remind me?"

Liu Ruotong also laughed and did not deny it, "We are all worried about your awesome spirit who will never give up until you achieve your goal. Haste will not be achieved. Besides, Brother Tuo said that Ling Zhengyue is not simple, and his personality is also a little stubborn. You have just come up and if the top leaders of the party and government are not in harmony, the main responsibility will definitely be on you. This is not good for your future development. You must have a clear understanding of this point and do not be obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one place."

Don’t worry about the gains and losses of a city and a place? Zhao Guodong chewed the meaning of this sentence, which was a bit bitter.

Ling Zhengyue is indeed not simple, and he can win back such a disadvantage. When he exchanged views with him and talked about Chen Yinglu, he knew that Chen Yinglu was probably going to take over Qi Hua as the Minister of Organization. Chen Yinglu is not Qi Hua. Once he became the Minister of Organization, it was equivalent to installing an iron gate for Ling Zhengyue. It would be difficult to easily win the initiative in this area.

It seems that Ling Zhengyue is probably also interested in asking Yuan Zhijian to take over as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. In this way, Chen Yinglu, Long Yinghua and Yuan Zhijian can truly form a stable iron triangle among the Standing Committee members. Although he eventually led to Zhong Yuejun's entry into the Standing Committee, this game is at most a draw. If it is related to the uncertainty of the vacancy of the deputy governor who was vacant after Huang Zhizhong was dismounted, Zhao Guodong even felt that he seemed to be defeated by Ling Zhengyue's careful calculations and super adaptability.

In the final analysis, it is qualification, prestige and connections. These things cannot be established overnight. What's more, in the past six months, even Zhao Guodong himself did not feel that he showed many outstanding things that many people hoped to be. But Liu Ruotong was right. At this time, being a good person is the greatest excellence.

When Zhao Guodong returned to Anyuan, the central inspection teams also followed one after another. Although the inspection team was very low-key, no matter how low-key you were in such a thing, it would be impossible for you to be low-key.

"Minister Qi is in a bad mood these days. Yesterday, Old Wei started arguing with him again. Old Wei was so angry that he slammed the door and left. Now the Ministry Office is trembling with the office, afraid of getting angry." Zhou Yiming shook his head and looked out the window. Andu ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter. For Andu, perhaps the snow this year came particularly early and also very heavy, which made many people unable to suppress their inner joy.

It doesn't snow much. Sometimes it's rare to encounter a decent snow for two or three consecutive years. The first snow this year is so early and so heavy, perhaps it's a good sign.

"Minister Wei is afraid that he can't bear it anymore? Minister Qi's temper has been terrible during this period. Almost everyone was scolded for no reason. Minister Zhou, I think you are similar." The shallow smile and light makeup made the forty-year-old woman look more mature. The combined cheongsam-style jacket immediately showed the charming and charming side of this woman.

Zhou Yiming couldn't help but praise her in her heart. It was indeed a beauty, not affected by her age at all. No wonder someone was muttering whether this woman had an affair with Governor Zhao when she came back from southern Yunnan. Although Zhou Yiming didn't really believe that Zhao Guodong would have anything to do with Pan Qiao, he could not help but admit that this kind of woman is almost 100% lethal to mature men. Even when she faced the other party, it was hard to say that Governor Zhao had no idea when facing such a beauty, especially when she was alone in southern Yunnan.
