Lin Meiru cleaned up the house. Soon, Liu Chengsheng arrived with Liu Weidong.
Liu Chengjia politely welcomed his eldest brother and nephew into the living room.
Liu Chengsheng sat down on the couch in the living room. There were quite a number of division level officers in the military compound. Liu Chengjia's house was very ordinary, and the living room was not big. It was completely different from Liu Chengsheng's residence. Liu Chengjia and his brother sat together, while Liu Weidong and Lin Meiru sat side by side.
Lin Meiru was about to pour some tea, but Liu Weihong beat her to it.
Lin Meiru was very happy and let her son be.
Liu Weihong served tea to his uncle first. Liu Chengsheng smiled and said,"Weihong, it's been three days since we last met. You should look at me in a new light! Not bad, not bad, you've improved a lot!"
"You flatter me, Uncle," Liu Weihong said humbly. It's just a few years older."
"Alright, alright. If you're sensible, your parents will be at ease. I, as your uncle, will also be at ease.”
Liu Chengsheng said with emotion. He glanced at Liu Weidong's face.
Liu Weidong felt his cheeks burning.
In this huge political game, Liu Weidong's performance could not be said to be bad, but it was only good at the end. After the situation became clear, he relied on Liu Weihong's article to leverage on his strength and played his role to the extreme, earning enough political capital for the Liu family. Without Liu Weihong as a reference, Liu Chengsheng would have been very satisfied with Liu Weidong's performance.
Liu Weihong's article happened.
Before the political storm broke out, Liu Weidong's performance was not satisfactory. Most importantly, he did not have Liu Weihong's vision and foresight. He was only thinking about how to mend the rift between him and Yuehua.
In contrast, Liu Weihong's extraordinariness was even more obvious.
However, Liu Weihong did not think so.
If he didn't have more than twenty years of foresight, he would indeed be a pile of mud. How could he compare with Liu Weidong? Liu Weidong had been trained in the capital's big government, and he was not someone he could compare to.
Therefore, Liu Weihong's humble expression was very sincere and did not have any intention of pretending.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, uncle."
Liu Weihong bowed slightly.
"Weihong, just now in Green Pine Garden, the old master was old and couldn't talk too much. He didn't explain a lot of things thoroughly. There are no outsiders here, so let's have a good chat and try our best to plan the steps carefully.”
Liu Chengsheng said straightforwardly. When he said this, his eyes swept over Lin Meiru's face.
Liu Chengsheng naturally knew when to speak in a formal tone and when to get straight to the point.
Lin Meiru stood up with a smile and said,"You guys continue chatting. I'll go prepare some fruit pastries.”
Actually, there were already many fruits and pastries on the table. Lin Meiru was just using this as an excuse. "Madam doesn't meddle in politics" was the truth. Since they wanted to do something big, Lin Meiru couldn't just sit by and listen.
Lin Meiru stood up and left. Liu Weihong said,"Please guide me, uncle."
"Hehe, we're a family. Let's talk casually and say whatever we have. There's no need to have any scruples…Weihong, I've thought about what you said earlier. The logic was very correct. But at this critical time, it's still a little inappropriate for your father and I to leave the capital for other posts…"
Liu Chengsheng said.
Liu Weihong immediately understood that Liu Chengsheng was here to discuss with the father and son. Otherwise, Liu Chengsheng could have made his own decision on whether to go abroad or not. He didn't have to make this trip.
It seemed that Liu Chengsheng had fully recognized his ability.
No matter who it was, it would be difficult for them not to be recognized for their amazing analytical skills and foresight.
Liu Weihong thought for a moment and asked seriously,"Uncle, if you stay in the Ministry, how far can you go?”
"Executive."
Liu Chengsheng didn't hide anything and answered the question directly.
Liu Chengsheng was currently the deputy head of the Central Organization Department, not the executive deputy. His rank was also the deputy department, not the main department. If he became the executive vice president, his rank would definitely go up, and his real power would be completely different. In detail, it was hard to say which was more important, the provincial committee secretary or the executive deputy head of the Central Organization Department. However, in the later generations, the executive deputy of the Central Organization Department had to be promoted to a higher level. Usually, he would be released first. After the end of the term of the provincial committee, he would be transferred back to the central government to take on more important leadership positions.
In terms of personal progress, there was still a slight difference between the executive deputy of the Central Organization Department and the provincial committee.
"The old man is old…"
Liu Chengsheng said.
Liu Weihong understood what he meant. The general stance he proposed was "a towering tree that forms its own system." Undoubtedly, he had been accepted by the old master and uncle. Liu Chengsheng was considering this from this perspective. The old man was only a big flag in the capital, but he definitely couldn't handle everything personally. As for the specific matters, someone had to mediate.
Without a standard-bearer in the middle, how could this system be stable?
Actually, Liu Weihong had already thought about this question countless times. The most important thing was that the old man was not going to live forever. If history were to repeat itself, the old man would pass away at the critical moment before the Crown Prince's position was confirmed. If Liu Chengsheng stayed in the capital and the Central Organization Department, he would be at the center of a huge whirlpool. If he was not careful, he would be dragged into it, and he might end up on the wrong side just like in his previous life.
No matter what, he had to avoid this situation. This was the most important step.
"Uncle, your concerns are very reasonable. But I don't think it's necessarily the best choice to stay in the Ministry under the circumstances. This position was a must. Many relationships are not easy to deal with…"
Liu Weihong didn't say anything and stopped there.
The so-called competition was the competition between the other major factions and the Wealthy Class. If he didn't make his position clear, it would be difficult for Liu Chengsheng to grasp real power. Organization work never existed in isolation. Without the support of the main leaders, even the executive deputy would find it difficult to carry out his work. Once he made his stance clear, there was no way to change it. In such a position, could he still be a fence-sitter?
Even if you are willing to be a fence sitter, you have to be willing to accept it.
Moreover, the more power a group leader had, the easier it was to offend people. It was not easy to find the best balance point in the complicated interests.
There had never been a precedent for a group of workers to become the first helmsman of a large faction.
From this, one could see how difficult this job was.
The next few years would be the most intense years of politics in the capital, and it would truly be unpredictable.
Although he was limited to one city and one place, his status was more transcendent and he had greater autonomy. Border officials, especially the provincial committee, had always been valued by the top leaders and must be fought for. If Liu Chengsheng could become the secretary of Jiangnan Province, the initiative would be firmly in his hands. Most of the time, there was no need to express one's stance. It was fine as long as one did not express one's stance.
"Pei Ji's age in Jiangnan has reached the limit. There are also many people eyeing this position…" Liu Weidong suddenly interrupted.
Liu Weihong smiled and did not say anything.
Liu Chengsheng glanced at his son with a stern expression.
Normally, Liu Chengsheng might have faced a lot of resistance if he wanted to get this position. Although it seemed like it was only a step away from the deputy department to the main department. However, there was a huge gap between an ordinary deputy department and the provincial committee. It was impossible to cross it. However, it was different now. The Old Liu family had made the right choice, so it was only natural that they should be rewarded. If Liu Chengsheng didn't take up the post of provincial party committee, he would be promoted to the executive deputy of the Central Organization Department. It was a definite thing to be a minister.
In such a sensitive period, the Crown Prince was very happy to "exchange" a provincial committee secretary with the executive deputy of the Central Organization Department. If he couldn't get the position of the head of the organization department, it would be good to get the position of executive deputy. This was very beneficial for the Crown Prince to gradually establish his own team.
As long as the old master gave a little hint and the Crown Prince responded, this matter would be easily completed.
It was also equivalent to showing their goodwill.
The prerequisite for forming a system was to have a good relationship with the existing major factions. Under the current domestic system, it was unrealistic for one to dominate. The other major factions could not " incorporate " the Old Liu family, so they naturally had to build a good relationship with the Old Liu family.
Liu Weidong couldn't see this, which proved that his vision still needed to be improved.
"Hmm, that makes sense…"
Liu Chengsheng pondered.
"Uncle, isn't Little Uncle also in the Central Organization Department?" I think we should let him stay. After all, the old master was here. As long as there was someone to relay the old master's instructions, it would be fine.”
Liu Cheng 'ai's husband, Ma Guoping, was originally a department-level cadre of the Central Organization Department. If Liu Chengsheng left the Central Organization Department, Ma Guoping could go further. Even if he couldn't become an official department leader, it would be good for him to be in charge of a bureau. He might not have enough experience to be a " flag bearer ", but he was still fully capable of mediating and coordinating.
Liu Chengsheng thought for a moment and looked at Liu Chengjia.
Liu Chengjia smiled and said frankly,""Big brother, I'm still digesting your stuff…"
He had always been in the army. Although he would attend family gatherings and learn about the higher-ups 'movements, he would usually not interfere. Liu Chengsheng and his son were talking about domestic affairs. He really couldn't keep up with them.
" Of course." Liu Chengsheng nodded slightly and said," The army is also very important." You have to put in more effort."
"Yes."
Liu Chengjia nodded.
"Weihong, why don't you come back and help your uncle?”
Liu Chengsheng turned to Liu Weihong and said.
Liu Weihong had also considered this question over and over again. He said without hesitation,"Uncle, I'd better stay at the bottom for a while. There are still many things to learn."
"Well, that's good too…"
Liu Chengsheng looked deeply at Liu Weihong.
