Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 557: A New Era (3)

It is now the beginning of September, and each official presidential transition is on the last day of September. Therefore, although Fu Fengcheng is not yet the president, in fact, the handover of the president is already in progress. At that time, both Yu Chengyi and Zhuo Lin announced that they would not seek re-election, Fu Zhengda retired in eight years, Long Xiao and Song Ye both announced that they would not run for president, so Zhuo Lin's successor was Lu Guan, who served as the chief executive during Zhuo Lin's tenure as president.

Lu Guan's age was about the same as Governor Fu's, and now he was over seventy and long ago wanted to take care of himself. He didn't care about Fu Fengcheng who succeeded him, and wished he could take over as soon as possible.

Therefore, the entire handover process was very smooth and peaceful, and the atmosphere in the capital was only joyful and festive to welcome the upcoming new president, without the slightest unease and shock of the impending change of power.

Because of Fu Fengcheng's relationship, the young masters and young ladies of the Fu family are also rising in the capital.

Fu Yunxiao is only eight years old, and Fu Yunteng is not yet four years old, so there is nothing to say. But Fu Yunqi is different. The true eldest grandson of the Fu family, the most beloved grandson of Governor Fu, is sixteen years old and unmarried. what.

Early in the morning, when Fu Yunqi came back from morning exercise outside, the butler greeted him as soon as he stepped into the hall, "Master."

Fu Yun nodded, "Uncle Feng, what's the matter?"

The butler sent an invitation and said with a smile, "I sent it early in the morning. It is said that some young ladies and gentlemen in the capital heard that the young master returned to China and wanted to welcome you. The post was sent by the Duan family. Isn't it just the weekend today, I ask if you have time to enjoy it."

Fu Yunqi picked it up and looked it up, and it turned out that they were all famous young masters and ladies in the capital. Fu Yunqi was not familiar with them, but he was not unfamiliar either.

He frowned and thought for a while, "I'm going to see Teacher Liao today." Obviously he didn't want to go.

Fu Yunqi didn't have any particularly friendly peers in the capital, and he was more familiar with his alumni and classmates, and Song Yuanhuai from Song Lang's family. Song Yuanhuai was about two years older than him, and Fu Yunqi played with him for two years when he was in his early teens. But Song Yuanhuai didn't live in the capital often, nor did he study in a school in the capital, and the two hadn't seen each other for two years.

Fu Yunqi is really not very interested in these dandies in the capital.

"Little Shitou is going to Liao Yunting's side?" Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng came down the stairs hand in hand, just in time to hear this.

Fu Yunqi looked up and saw that his parents were wearing formal clothes for going out, and his mother was still carrying a bag in her hand, knowing that they were going out, "Father, mother, good morning."

Then I answered Leng Sa's words, "Yes, I made an appointment with Teacher Liao yesterday afternoon."

Walking downstairs, Leng Sa stood still in front of him, and said with a smile: "You just came back, and you don't have time to spare on weekends? Young people should go out to play more, and there is still plenty of time to work hard in the future."

Fu Yunqi smiled and nodded, "I know, the party is at night, and I will go when I come back in the afternoon. Mom and Dad are going out now?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Yes, your father has a lot of things recently, you know that?"

Of course Fu Yunqi knew, "Father has worked hard."

Fu Fengcheng looked at Fu Yunqi, nodded slightly, "Your mother is right, you are still young, so don't worry."

Seeing that Fu Yunqi nodded obediently, Leng Sa stretched out his hand and stroked his son's messy hair due to exercise, and said, "Forget it, you always know yourself, and the most important thing is to be happy. By the way, your grandfather will come to the capital tomorrow morning. Let's pick him up when we have time."

Fu Yunqi said: "Okay, will grandma come back to attend father's inauguration ceremony?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Of course, but your grandma is not in the country now, and she said she would come back before the inauguration ceremony."

Ms. Zhuo Lin took a year of recuperation after retirement, and she started traveling around the country because she couldn't take it easy. By the way, she inspected the results of her work for several years.

Last year, I almost finished shopping in China, so I decided to go abroad.

But many people actually understand that Ms. Zhuo chose to go abroad at that time because of Fu Fengcheng. Fu Fengcheng announced his participation in the presidential election. Ms. Zhuo Lin is Fu Fengcheng's mother and the last president, and she also has a large number of female fans. Her attitude will inevitably not affect many people's choices.

In fact, it is not against the rules to use family members to build momentum for herself, but Zhuo Lin thinks that Fu Fengcheng does not need it, and she is not going to do it. This is not because of external evaluation. In fact, even if Ms. Zhuo leaves, some people will still have a good impression of Fu Fengcheng because of Ms. Zhuo. Of course, in terms of reputation and supporters, Fu Fengcheng himself is not inferior to Ms. Zhuo.

This is Ms. Zhuo's respect for her son, and she believes that Fu Fengcheng does not need to intervene at all.

Governor Fu was the first among several governors to announce his retirement back then, and it may be that he meant it. You must know that Song Ye has not retired yet.

His father is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and his mother is the previous president. If Fu Fengcheng is re-elected, what will happen? Is Da Xia planning to be surnamed Fu?

It has been eight years since Governor Fu withdrew from the power center, and Ms. Zhuo is not in the capital, just to minimize such influence. It is impossible to say that there is no influence at all, but it is also unfair to let Fu Fengcheng give up the presidential campaign. He is in his prime of life, and his abilities, achievements and reputation have no shortcomings. If he is forced to give up just because of outside speculation and evaluation, it will not only be a pity for the Fu family and Fu Fengcheng himself.

Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng got out of Fu's mansion and went directly to the presidential palace. The presidential palace has been around for quite a while, and it was the official residence of the prime minister back then. It is next to the Yizheng Building and it is not far from the Military Headquarters Building. Although the summer and the capital city have been changing with each passing day, this area has not changed much.

"Fengcheng and Xiao Leng are here?" Lu Guan is over seventy years old, and although he looks energetic, he is much older than the first time he met more than ten years ago, and his hair is already gray. Put on a pair of reading glasses.

Seeing the two walk in, Lu Guan, who was talking to someone, seemed very happy, and waved to them to go over.

The two stepped forward, "President."

Lu Guan waved his hands and said, "There are no outsiders, don't see others like this, besides, I should retire in a few days. Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

The two sat down opposite Lu Guan. Lu Guan narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the two of them, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, okay. It's you young people who look after the spirit."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Uncle Lu is also in good spirits."

Lu Guan smiled and said, "Where, I'm getting old, and it's been a bit difficult to support this year, but your father is smart and retired from Qingjing early."

Of course, Lu Guan knew that Governor Fu retired early not just for the sake of peace, but he didn't expect to be elected himself.

When he ran for the election, he thought he was just going through the motions. Unexpectedly, Long Xiao and Song Ye announced that they would give up running for the election at the same time, so that he missed it.

Although it was an accident, Lu Guan was naturally very happy to become the third president of Daxia. Who wouldn't want to leave their name in the history books?

In the past few years, I have also done my best and worked hard. However, his health is not as good as Fu Zheng Long Xiao and other warriors. After four consecutive years of high-intensity work, his health is really not good in the last year.

Fu Fengcheng personally picked up the teapot and poured tea for him, and said respectfully, "Uncle Lu has worked hard these past few years, and I hope you will give me more advice in the future."

Lu Guan took his tea and said: "I know my own ability, but I just do my best to fulfill my duty and be honest. It will be up to you in the future. The general affairs have been explained these days. The staffing of the government is up to you, let’s talk about the inauguration of the president and the anniversary after that..."

The two discussed with Lu Guan for nearly an hour. Seeing the tired look on Lu Guan's face, Fu Fengcheng offered to stop here first.

Lu Guan didn't hold back either, and invited the staff to greet the two of them and went upstairs to rest.

Watching Lu Guan go upstairs, Leng Sa whispered worriedly: "Looking at it, Uncle Lu is not in good spirits."

Fu Fengcheng nodded, "Don't worry, Elder Hua has seen it for Uncle Lu before, saying that it's been too much consumption in the past few years, and it's not a big problem to rest for a while."

Mr. Hua is over ninety years old. Miao Miao has retired and returned to the capital to take care of the elderly after leaving the country a few years ago, but he still sees patients occasionally.

That old gentleman is worthy of being a generation of national players. Although he is already ninety years old, he looks like Lu Guan, who is more spirited than seventy.

"That's the only way to go." Leng Sa said.

A staff member next to him handed over a document, "Mr. President, Madam, this is..."

Before the other party finished speaking, he was fixed by a sharp gaze.

He was taken aback by fright, and looked at Fu Fengcheng with some puzzlement.

Fu Fengcheng said lightly, "It's not yet time for the official handover."

The staff member turned pale and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, President Fu, Ms. Leng, this is the specific list of political leaders and entourages from various countries who will participate in the presidential inauguration."

Leng Sa reached out to take it and said thank you. Seeing that person still standing in front of him in a daze, he said, "Go and do your work first, we will come to you if you have any questions."

"Yes, yes." The man came back to his senses, and retreated in disappointment and panic.

Leng Sa watched him turn and leave, shook his head and didn't say anything, it's not surprising that there are such people everywhere.

Leng Sa opened the roster in his hand to look at it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Nile and Dayin's people are coming too?"

Hearing this, Fu Fengcheng put down the document in his hand and turned his head to look at it, but he was not too surprised, "It's normal, after all, it's a neighboring country." Countries are not like individuals, and if they say that they don't agree with each other, they can really live forever. Contact each other.

Although Ni Luo was so injured by Fu Fengcheng that he can't breathe now, and although Dayin's people have lost face by ceding land and paying compensation, after all, they are two countries bordering Dayin, as long as their rulers are not If you lose your mind, it is impossible to ignore it.

Leng Sa stared at the list carefully for a while, and said, "This... Nero sent Sang Xi." Sang Xi is their old friend.

Back then, he was kidnapped by Leng Sa in the southwest and sent back to Yongcheng, where he was diverted from Yongcheng and imprisoned in the capital. It wasn't until the fourth year of Daxia that the situation in Nile's country basically stabilized. Sang Gu successfully won power, and then he negotiated with Daxia to take his son back.

It’s not that Sang Gu valued this son so much. Sang Gu originally had several sons, but the eldest son and several grandchildren were killed by the Nero royal family, and two of them later died in the civil war with the Nero royal family. One survived but lost her fertility. There was really no other choice but Sangxi Sanggu.

Fu Fengcheng said, "Sang Gu was injured that year, and his health has not been very good in the past two years. It is rumored that Sang Xi is going to take over his position. He is here to have a relationship with Da Xiala, so don't worry."

Sang Xi does not have the ability and prestige of Sang Gu, and he has a dark history of being captured by the Daxia people. Today, Nile's national strength is less than half of what it was more than ten years ago, and its economy is even worse, and the country is not stable. If Sang Xi wants to secure his position, he must obtain the support of powerful neighboring countries.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I'm not worried, I wasn't the one who was captured back then, as long as Sang Xi doesn't feel embarrassed, it's fine. Accept normal foreign guests, right?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded in agreement.

"Da Yin's side..." Leng Sa frowned. In fact, Ni Luo was not qualified to be Da Xia's opponent from the beginning to the end. If they hadn't taken advantage of others' danger, they might not have dared to act rashly even if Da Xia was torn apart.

But Dayin was different. Even though he was beaten and forced to cede the land before, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. What's more, Dayin was not dead yet, at most two pieces of meat were cut off. Those places that were ceded to Daxia were originally places where the two countries repeatedly fought back and forth. Whoever is strong will occupy the place, so Dayin's tail-cutting for peace is not a heavy loss.

Now more than ten years later, Dayin is still a country with a vast territory and a strong army. It's just that the throat of the Northwest is in their hands, and the Northwest is heavily garrisoned all year round. Dayin people know that they have no chance and can only turn their attention to the West.

Anyway, Dayin and Daxia have been rivals for hundreds of years, so they don't need to care about their temporary success or failure.

Fu Fengcheng thought for a while, "They didn't come here to find trouble."

Leng Sa frowned and thought about it, and immediately understood, "Da Yin wants to continue expanding westward, so he won't provoke us right now."

What does war need? Military strength, financial resources, and material resources.

The Dayin people are not short of troops, but they need Daxia's weapons, medicines and various supplies.

Even if they don't need it, are they afraid that Da Xia will sell it to his opponent? Dayin is a purely northern country, and its estuaries are in the extreme north and west. If Daxia takes the sea route to do business with the countries in the west, it will be difficult for Dayin people to stop it.

Leng Sa looked through the list of the rest of the countries, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is much more lively than Uncle Lu's inauguration ceremony last time." Not surprisingly, Barrow Island and countries that have geographical conflicts with Dayin are all Important people were sent here.

In fact, Leng Sa has always suspected that after Dayin was beaten into autism by Fu Fengcheng, he was ridiculed and blackened.

Labor and capital can't handle Daxia, and you can't kill you little shrimps, dare to laugh at me!

Fu Fengcheng nodded, "Give it to Zhang Jingzhi Long Yue and Song Lang, let them figure it out."

"Zhang Jingzhi is going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Zhang Jingzhi used to be the Deputy Minister of Finance.

Fu Fengcheng said, "The person above him can still work for a few more years, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to practice first, anyway, he is good at this."

Leng Sa nodded, thinking that although Zhang Jingzhi was nearly fifty years old, he was still elegant and gentle, and his harmless appearance was really suitable for fooling people.

Although Fu Yunqi had just returned to China, he had a very fulfilling weekend.

In the morning, I played with my younger siblings for a while to relax. After lunch, I went to the research institute in the capital to meet Liao Yunting. I talked with Mr. Liao all afternoon, and I didn't even have time to eat dinner, so I went to the meeting place of those young masters and ladies in the capital to participate in the clean-up banquet that was said to be for me.

In recent years, the capital city has become more and more prosperous. When the lights first come on, the whole street is very bright under the neon lights.

There are many men and women walking up and down the street, fashionable and retro people coexist harmoniously, and beautifully dressed young girls walk safely on the street without the slightest sense of restraint. Being in the middle of it makes people really believe that the peaceful and prosperous age is coming.

Fu Yunqi stepped into a high-end club, which is the favorite place for gatherings of rich and powerful merchants in the capital.

Although Fu Yunqi was young, he had been here a few times, and he knew some things that others didn't know. For example, the owner behind the scene was surnamed Shang—Shang Moyan's Shang.

"Young Master Fu is here!" Seeing Fu Yunqi push the door and come in, the men and women who were making noise in the wing room immediately stood up and extended a warm welcome to Fu Yunqi's arrival.

Fu Yunqi nodded slightly and glanced at everyone. There were a dozen or so people in the spacious wing room, all of whom were familiar faces. But Fu Yunqi only really knew two or three, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Where? Isn't that what we made an appointment for? It's just right!" Someone laughed immediately, and a handsome girl in fashionable clothes came over and pulled Fu Yunqi's arm, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it, Young Master Fu, we are just talking about how to give it to you." How about you take the wind, why don't you have a drink together first?"

Before she stretched out her hand, Fu Yunqi turned sideways inadvertently, avoiding her hand, and said calmly: "Thank you everyone, I don't drink."

The girl's outstretched hand froze, and quickly put it down as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was obviously a little surprised, and some people didn't believe it. "Young Master Fu doesn't know how to drink? How is it possible?"

"That's right. I heard that Governor Fu was a huge army back then. Although President Fu didn't say anything about it, he didn't say he didn't know how to drink."

Fu Yunqi was very calm, "My mother told me not to drink alcohol until I was eighteen."

"..." Everyone was silent, as if Fu Yunqi had said something that they couldn't understand.

One young man couldn't help laughing, "Young Master Fu, you are too obedient." These people have been in the circle of the rich and powerful since they were young, who wouldn't do something out of the ordinary? Besides, it's fine for a girl to listen to her mother's words. Isn't it a joke for the young master of the Fu family to say this.

Fu Yunqi obviously didn't think he was a joke, he raised his eyes to look at the young master and said indifferently: "What's the problem?"

"..." Your parents are powerful, you have the final say.

Fu Yunqi is not an idiot who doesn't understand world affairs. In the end, he toasted everyone with tea instead of wine before the atmosphere became warm again, but it was still worse than before Fu Yunqi didn't come.

It feels like a group of students who like to joke, smoke and drink are at a party, and suddenly a good student who is holding a textbook and endorsing it is inserted in the middle, who can still play?

A young man who was somewhat familiar with Fu Yunqi looked at the bustling crowd not far away, sat down beside Fu Yunqi, and whispered: "Yunqi, everyone wants to make friends with you, you... make everyone feel a little uncomfortable Excuse me." Excuse me is a euphemism, and to put it bluntly, it is a disappointment.

Fu Yunqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm not used to places that are too lively."

"..." The young man was a little annoyed.

You, the young master of the Fu family, are you not used to places that are too lively? I haven't seen you not used to various banquets before.

After all, I still look down on these dudes like them.

Fu Yunqi glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Xinyi, are you eighteen this year? Are you going to mess around like this?"

The young man was startled, and after a while he said indifferently, "So what if I don't do this? You know what's going on in our family. My grandfather, my father, and my uncles have been like that for years. When they came to our place ...that's a mess."

Fu Yunqi said: "Mr. Duan is still here, your starting point is much better than ordinary people. Didn't Uncle Zhang..." Halfway through the speech, Fu Yunqi remembered that the Zhang family and the Duan family still had a little bit of a festival, so he immediately stopped. mouthed.

In fact, Duan Yulin's affairs back then had something to do with the Fu family, but the relationship between the Duan family and the Fu family has not been bad these years. In fact, Duan Yulin's relationship with Zhang Bi is not bad now, it's just that the younger generation is not as open-minded as the older generation.

Duan Xinyi also understood what he meant, and said a little self-deprecatingly, "Then compare me with Deputy Chief Zhang? That's a high opinion of me."

Who is Zhang Jingzhi? Even though the reputation of the eldest son of the Zhang family was not as good as that of Fu Fengcheng and Long Yue, as the prime minister's son, it would not be too bad. Although the Zhang family was on the decline later, they had a good relationship with Fu Long and Song's three families, and then they directly climbed to the Fu family, and after a few years, they returned smoothly and have been on the rise ever since.

Putting aside your status as a nobleman and working for someone who used to be at the same level, this is not something that ordinary young masters can do.

Fu Yunqi didn't mean to persuade, but just said lightly, "How do you know you can't do it if you haven't tried it? Now that Mr. Duan is still here, everyone will give you some face. In the future, when Mr. Duan is gone, do you think these people will follow me?" Are you making trouble together?"

"..." Duan Xinyi fell silent. His grandfather was older than Dujun Fu, and it was already a long life to live to this day.

"Young Master Fu, what are you doing sitting in the corner with Young Master Duan? It's so boring. Let's have a drink together?" Someone shouted not far away.

Fu Yunqi nodded over there, reached out and patted Duan Xinyi's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Think about it carefully." After speaking, he stopped looking at him, got up and walked over with a cup of tea.

Duan Xinyi was right, he was not unaccustomed to the excitement, the key was whether he wanted to get used to it or not.
