Chapter 708: Where to exercise?

Gu Jianguo’s office is on the 10th floor of the Provincial Standing Committee Building.

As the office of the vice chairman of the provincial standing committee, the 90-square-meter space is divided into an office area, a reception area, a small meeting room and an independent lounge.

The main colors of the conference room are dark brown and beige, matched with walnut finishes, giving it a calm and elegant style.

There are two huge maps hanging on the wall, one is the Zhou state map, and the other is the administrative division map of Ye Province.

At this time in the reception area, on one side of the 3+2+1 leather sofa guest seats, Tongren Vice Mayor Chen Yuguo was sitting upright, staring at the curling steam rising from the white porcelain cups and plates on the solid wood coffee table in front of him, deep in thought.

The LED ceiling lamp above the head matches the surrounding wall lamps, and the light is bright and soft, giving a sense of peace and tranquility.

However, Tongren Deputy Mayor Chen Yuguo was not at peace at the moment. It all started when he learned that the Vice Chairman of the Provincial Standing Committee was named Gu Jianguo!

Before coming to the Qinghe gathering place, Chen Yuguo always thought that even if the current head of the Night Province was not one of the three people before the end of the world, he should at least be a leader of the Night Province that he was familiar with.

But he never expected that it was a leader he was very familiar with but not the leader of Ye Province!

It's a bit confusing to say, but to put it bluntly, he never expected that his leader in Tianze City would become the top leader of Ye Province today! !

"If I remember correctly, when the apocalypse broke out, the old leader should still be in Tianze City, right?"

"How did he suddenly change from being the head of Tianze City to the head of the entire Ye Province? What on earth happened?"

The political situation in Ye Province changed so drastically after the apocalypse that Chen Yuguo's head was almost a mess.

"Chairman, Deputy Mayor Chen Yuguo of Tongren City is waiting for you in your office!"

Just as Chen Yuguo was deep in thought, voices suddenly came from the office door. After hearing the noise, he quickly stood up.

"Old leader!"

The moment Gu Jianguo pushed the door open, Chen Yuguo recognized the familiar figure in his memory at a glance.

A grey woolen shirt, a navy blue executive jacket, black trousers, and leather shoes that reflect light, he exudes a refined and gentle temperament, always giving people a sense of leisure and ease.

"Old leader, I didn't expect it was really you!"

At this moment, when the word "old leader" was called out, Chen Yuguo had already cast aside the doubts in his heart, and there was only kindness in his eyes when he looked at Gu Jianguo.

"Jade Country?"

When he saw Chen Yuguo, Gu Jianguo also seemed a little excited.

"I didn't expect to see you here! Great, great! As long as you're alive!"

Gu Jianguo walked up to Chen Yuguo, stepped on the light-colored wool carpet in the reception area, and looked at his old subordinate with a tone full of emotion.

Thinking back to when he had just taken office in Tianze City, he was isolated and helpless, and it was this old subordinate who had been marginalized at the time who took the lead in joining him and assisted him in breaking up the situation and successfully taking down the corrupt elements led by the deputy mayor.

After the anti-corruption work, the other party was promoted and transferred to Tongren City as executive vice mayor. From then on, except for the greetings sent by the other party during the holidays, the two had very few opportunities to meet each other.

So when they met now and recalled the days when they fought side by side, Gu Jianguo couldn't help but look at Chen Yuguo with more affectionate eyes.

This is meeting an old friend in the last days!

Compared to Gu Jianguo's thoughts, Chen Yuguo was more excited at this moment. Although he knew it before the meeting, he still felt very dreamy to be in front of his old leader who was now the head of Night Province.

Wasn't it because he had no backing that he was marginalized in Tianze City? Later, when he participated in the anti-corruption struggle, in addition to the justice in his heart, he also had the idea of ​​gamble everything.

After all, if I didn’t try my best at that time, I would be dead!

Fortunately, the bet was right. Under the leadership of the old leader, he not only eliminated the corrupt elements in Tianze City, but also successfully transferred to Tongren City as the executive vice mayor.

Although the job transfer is a lateral transfer in terms of level, but in terms of position, being rank as executive is definitely a big step forward!

But because he had no backing in the province, before the apocalypse broke out, Chen Yuguo had almost accepted his fate and stopped there.

But now...

Seeing the old leader who has become the head of the Night Province, the flame of progress in his heart began to burn again...

"Leader, please sit down. You must be tired after the meeting. I'll go get you some tea!"

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Jianguo to reply, Chen Yuguo walked towards the tea bar machine nearby in a familiar manner.

"Hey, Boss, please take a seat. I'll do it!"

Seeing this, Gu Jianguo's secretary Zhang Wei hurriedly chased after him and tried to dissuade him.

"It's okay, it's okay. When I was in Tianze City, I always did this job when I came to the boss' office. I'm used to it. If you don't let me do it, I really won't be used to it!"

How could Chen Yuguo miss this opportunity to reconnect with his old leader and help him recall the good old days they had together?

"Xiao Wei, just let him do it!"

Gu Jianguo sat on the sofa with a relaxed expression, looking at Chen Yuguo busy in front of the tea bar machine with a smile on his face. The familiar feeling seemed to come back again.

Recalling the glorious past years!

After a while, Chen Yuguo came over with a white porcelain teacup in both hands, bent down and placed it on the solid wooden tea table in front of Gu Jianguo.

"Leader, please taste my tea and see if my tea art has deteriorated!"

"Haha, Yuguo, you really made it look like the real thing! Gu Jianguo smiled gently, raised the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Well, not bad, not bad, no regression." Gu Jianguo praised.

When Chen Yuguo sat down again, Gu Jianguo suddenly noticed his graying temples and haggard and aged face, and could not help but sigh:

"In the past, you and I were in Tianze City. Although we were nearly fifty years old, we were still in our prime. But now we have white hair!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuguo's eyes immediately showed a trace of vicissitudes, and he said with the same feeling:

"Leader, don't you know that time is like a galloping horse, the sun and the moon are like falling flowers and flowing water? There is no such thing as immortality in this world!"

"yes..."

"I've been thinking about it lately. I'm already 54 years old and my energy is no longer what it used to be..."

"Time flies by so fast... In the blink of an eye, even the two little brats at home have grown up so fast..."

Seeing Gu Jianguo's slightly sad expression, Chen Yuguo subconsciously changed the subject.

"Speaking of children at home, I remember that both of your children are very outstanding, right? I also heard that your eldest son joined the army for training while he was in college?"

"What a good young man! It's rare to find young people these days who are so hardworking and come from a family like yours!"

"I wonder where you put it to exercise now?"

...

After the words fell, Gu Jianguo's expression suddenly became strange...

Where did I put it to exercise?

Look, he put me here to train!
