Early the next morning, Zhou Nan drove out of Ningshan County by himself and drove straight to the provincial capital of Ningzhou.

Before eleven o'clock in the morning, he arrived at the Provincial Party Committee compound. Downstairs of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Nan called Song Qiang, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin, through the security guard, and then stood there.

Waiting where you are.

Not long after, Song Qiang came down from the Standing Committee Building. As soon as he came out of the hall, he greeted Zhou Nan with a smile, "County Magistrate Zhou, here you are... Haha, the leader happened to receive an old leader from the province. If you have time, you and I

Go up."

"Okay." Zhou Nan smiled, took the initiative to shake hands with Song Qiang, and then walked side by side into the Small Standing Committee Building with Song Qiang.

When he went upstairs, Song Qiang thought that Zhou Nan would inquire about something from him, but unexpectedly, Zhou Nan looked calm and did not ask anything.

Song Qiang was secretly surprised. This kid was so calm. He didn't want to ask Secretary Zhou what he wanted to do with him? No wonder people say that Zhou Nan from Ningshan County is not a simple person. Just look at this calmness and he is not an ordinary young man.

People can do it.

In this way, they walked to the door of Zhou Xiaolin's office in silence. Zhou Xiaolin's office was open. Song Qiang knocked on the door and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, County Magistrate Zhou of Ningshan County has arrived..."

"Oh? Comrade Xiao Zhou, please come in." Zhou Xiaolin's deep and dignified voice came from the office.

Song Qiang turned around and smiled at Zhou Nan, waving his hand to signal him to hurry in.

Zhou Nan nodded to Song Qiang, then composed himself and strode in.

"Secretary Zhou..." Zhou Nan smiled respectfully.

"Haha, Comrade Xiao Zhou is here, come on, please sit down." Zhou Xiaolin sat there with a gentle smile and waved his hand, "Sit wherever you want, don't be restrained, I'm here to see you today, it's not about official business, I'm just talking about personal feelings...

"

Zhou Xiaolin's words made Zhou Nan startled. He wondered if the secretary of the provincial party committee had taken the wrong medicine and summoned him all the way to the provincial party committee just to talk about some personal feelings?

"Okay, Secretary Zhou, please give me your instructions."

Zhou Xiaolin looked at Zhou Nan sitting on the sofa with a smile. Although his expression remained unchanged, he felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed in his heart.

The reason why he came to Zhou Nan today was indeed for "private matters". He was entrusted by someone to convey some kind of information to Zhou Nan... But this kind of matter was related to the personal affairs of subordinate officials. How could he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, do it?

Can you open this mouth?

But thinking of the client's identity and his unshakable and unoffending supreme background, he sighed inwardly. Although he had somewhat lost his identity, he really had to say this.

.........Zhou Xiaolin finally relayed some kind of "request" from someone in the Zhao family in the capital very tactfully.

Zhou Nan never dreamed that Zhao Shuyu would have feelings for him, and that the Zhao family in the capital would not hesitate to put pressure on him through the secretary of the provincial party committee. Of course, although this was pressure, it was also a heavy temptation.

The Zhao family has a prominent political position in the country. If he really becomes the grandson-in-law of the Zhao family, it is easy to imagine that his future career will be smooth sailing. With his personal conditions, qualities and abilities, and the connections and background of the Zhao family, he will

In the shortest time, it is easy to reach the threshold of the provincial and ministerial levels, and it is foreseeable to even go further to the core level of the central government.

Looking at Zhou Nan's gloomy face, Zhou Xiaolin smiled to himself awkwardly, his eyes a little complicated.

From his personal point of view, he feels that Zhou Nan is a very capable and promising young official with a very solid foundation and has made dazzling political achievements at the grassroots level. If he can get the background of the Zhao family, it is inevitable that he will rise to the top in the future.

.

But Zhou Xiaolin knew that Zhou Nan, a young man, was by no means the kind of young man who would follow the crowd. According to his prediction, Zhou Nan would definitely reject the Zhao family's "good intentions".

But it is easy to refuse, but it is not easy to refuse.

Zhou Xiaolin could not imagine what Zhou Nan would be like after offending the Zhao family in the capital. At the very least, from now on, his career would be bleak, and he would even be firmly suppressed at the grassroots level and unable to stand up.

Zhou Xiaolin did not want to see a promising young cadre being "sacrificed" because of such a thing, and wanted to try his best to discuss the pros and cons with Zhou Nan, as a private person and an elder, not as the provincial party committee secretary.

The person who came to find Zhou Xiaolin was Zhao Kai's wife Zhang Qin, who is also Zhao Shuyu's mother. Zhou Xiaolin was a cadre promoted by Mr. Zhao and had a close relationship with the Zhao family. In other words, Mr. Zhao had the kindness to know Zhou Xiaolin. If it weren't for the Zhao family,

, there would be no Zhou Xiaolin today.

Therefore, Zhang Qin approached Zhou Xiaolin and asked Zhou Xiaolin to help "make this good marriage happen". Although Zhou Xiaolin was very embarrassed, he still did not deny Zhang Qin face to face.

He has had more contact with the Zhao family, so he naturally understands the energy of the Zhao family. Even though he is the secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Binhai Province, compared with the Zhao family, he is really nothing.

Ahem!

Seeing Zhou Nan's speechless silence, the atmosphere in the office was a bit dull. Zhou Xiaolin coughed twice and sighed slightly, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, I am talking to you today not as the secretary of the provincial party committee, but as the secretary of the provincial party committee."

As a veteran and an elder... I know that this kind of thing is very sudden for you and difficult for you to accept..."

"To be honest, I am familiar with and understand this child Zhao Shuyu. It can be said that she is both talented and beautiful, and very outstanding. Even without such a family background, she is still an outstanding young person."

"I can't say too much about this kind of thing. I can only say, Comrade Xiao Zhou, think carefully, weigh the pros and cons, don't be impulsive, and don't make decisions blindly..."

Zhou Xiaolin spoke slowly. Zhou Nan looked up at Zhou Xiaolin and suddenly smiled very calmly, "Secretary Zhou, I know you are doing it for my own good. Thank you for your concern, leader."

"However, there is nothing to think about. I already have a wife. Although the wedding has not yet been held, Lan Ruo and I have already registered in Hong Kong and are now legally married. We have a very good relationship. It is impossible for me to marry Lan Ruo.

There is absolutely no possibility of breaking up."

"Please let the leader tell the person in Beijing for me to thank her for her kindness, but personal feelings are not a child's play, let alone a transaction. Please forgive me for not accepting this kind of kindness." Zhou Nan stood up slowly, looking calm and smiling.

Zhou Xiaolin looked at Zhou Nan, his expression changed, and then he sighed, "Comrade Xiao Zhou... I respect your decision, and I will convey it to you. However, Comrade Xiao Zhou, personally, I feel very sorry."

The corner of Zhou Nan's mouth twitched slightly, then he bowed calmly and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, leader. I know what I am doing... If the leader has no other instructions, I will leave and go back."

......... Zhou Nan left the provincial party committee and drove back to Haidu, where he and Lan Ruo began to prepare for the final stages of the wedding.

However, his mood was not calm along the way. There is no doubt that no matter how absurd or inexplicable it was, it still happened. Since the Zhao family extended an olive branch in this way and was rejected by him; then

, what he will face next will be the dissatisfaction of the Zhao family.

Revenge and suppression may not be enough, but as a result, his career has almost reached a dead end. Even worse results cannot be ruled out. No matter how much Zhou Xiaolin, secretary of the provincial party committee, praises him, with the big tree of the Zhao family standing,

Zhou Xiaolin will not be able to promote Zhou Nan in the future; and once the Zhao family gives a hint, it won't take much effort to move a small county magistrate like him.

Now that he has made the decision to refuse, he must face the consequences of rejection. Although this feels somewhat like an unreasonable disaster to him, he does not regret it. Not to mention that he and Lan Ruo have a deep relationship and there is no possibility of breaking up in this life.

Even if his feelings were normal, he would not accept the Zhao family putting pressure on him in this way. A man should do something and not do something. Some things can weigh the pros and cons, but some things cannot be hesitated.

.

This is the bottom line and principle. Regardless of his past life or this life, Zhou Nan has always been a very principled person.

Of course, Zhou Nan didn't know that this was actually Zhao Shuyu's mother Zhang Qin's own initiative.

After Zhou Nan left, Zhou Xiaolin hesitated and dialed Zhang Qin's number in Beijing.

When Zhang Qin heard the news on the phone, he curled his lips in disapproval and said, "Old Zhou, you are still a young man and not very sensible. Well, Old Zhou, please help me beat this kid...I believe,

He will change his mind."

After listening to Zhang Qin's words, Zhou Xiaolin frowned and said, "Old Zhang, we are not outsiders. If I have something to say, I will say it directly...Does Shuyu know about this?"

"Lao Zhou, you have watched Shuyu grow up, but you still don't understand her temperament and character? Although she looks carefree, she is actually quite reserved at heart. As a mother, I don't want to miss her again.

, I can see that she is very serious this time... she has real feelings..."

"Okay, okay, I know you, Lao Zhou, have principles and love talents. Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. I'll ask someone else to beat him..."

After talking to Zhang Qin on the phone, Zhou Xiaolin hung up the phone angrily. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qin's actions, and even said he was very dissatisfied. However, Zhang Qin represented the Zhao family, so he couldn't say anything and had nothing to do.

…………National Day.Haidu City.

Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo's wedding was grand and grand. With the strength and influence of Feiteng Group and Hong Kong Lan Enterprises, many celebrities from domestic and Hong Kong economic circles came to Haidu to attend the wedding, and even many popular stars in the entertainment industry came to attend the wedding.

Come and support me, because Lan's Enterprise owns three well-known large entertainment production companies in the industry, and is the backstage boss of many celebrities.

Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo occupied three floors of the Haidu Hotel, the largest five-star hotel in Haidu, for a banquet with guests. Because he had let go of some taboos in his heart, Zhou Nan also completely relaxed his mind this time and made a big fuss of his wedding.

Did it once.

As expected by Zhou Nan, a group of people from Ningshan County who were scheduled to attend the ceremony did not show up.

Before the wedding, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department called Zhou Nan, saying that the Municipal Party Committee wanted to adjust his work and asked him to rush back to Ningnan. Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao wanted to talk to him in person, but Zhou Nan did not go back.

Later, Sun Xiang, secretary of the county party committee, personally called him again, but Zhou Nan did not answer the phone either.

After the wedding, Zhou Nan did not rush back to Ningnan to end his vacation. Instead, he continued to stay in Haidu to spend his honeymoon with Lan Ruo. Despite all this, although Zhou Nan didn't say anything and Lan Ruo didn't ask anything, he understood the other person's feelings in his heart.

Zhou Nan's mentality has undergone some invisible changes, and this change is what Lan Ruo hopes to see.

The evening of October 8th.

Lanruo returned from Feiteng headquarters to their love nest in the center of Haidu. This was a three-bedroom apartment they had temporarily purchased for their wedding. Although the two of them had not planned to live here permanently, Lin Xueer, who was in charge of the decoration, still decided to use it.

The apartment was very luxuriously decorated, and nearly 100,000 was spent on decoration alone.

In those days, spending RMB 100,000 on decoration was quite a luxury.

However, considering the Zhou family's financial resources and their status, this is nothing.

"Husband..." Lan Ruo walked in and changed her clothes while smiling and saying hello to Zhou Nan who was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Xiao Ruo, you're back just in time. I have something to discuss with you."

Zhou Nan sat up straight on the sofa and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

Lan Ruo walked into the living room and saw that the living room was filled with smoke. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "Honey, you should smoke less in the future. It's not good for your health."

With that said, Lan Ruo went to open the window to ventilate the air.

"Xiao Ruo, haven't you always wanted to move Feiteng's headquarters to Hong Kong? I think you can officially consider it recently. Feiteng's market is getting bigger and bigger, and Haidu is too small and has great limitations, which is not conducive to

The future development of the company..." Zhou Nan said lightly.
