Chapter 791 No. 87 Dongli Hutong

After Zhou Tian finished telling the story about Nie Huaiyuan, his uncle looked at him as if he were a fool.

This puzzled him for a moment, and he couldn't help asking, "Uncle, why do you look at me like this?"

"I'm looking at a fool!"

Unexpectedly, the uncle shook his head and said, before he could get angry, the uncle sighed and asked: "Is your relationship with Nie Huaiyuan really as good as you think? Or is that your self-righteous understanding of Nie Huaiyuan?"

Zhou Tian was not stupid and quickly understood the meaning of his uncle's words from his tone.

"Uncle, do you mean that Brother Nie can't be trusted?"

Then he shook his head and denied it: "Impossible, Brother Nie would never lie to me!"

Although he and Nie Huaiyuan had not known each other for a long time, he was very clear that Nie Huaiyuan was not a politician, but more of a man who got things done.

Otherwise, he would not have rushed to get to know him. After all, in addition to some interests, the character of the people he interacted with played a big factor.

Just like someone like Li Huaide, if there was no intersection between them, he wouldn't even bother to look at him.

"I wouldn't lie to you!"

Liu Wei looked at his nephew with a look of disbelief, and could only explain to him: "But you have to remember one thing, that is, as a qualified politician, the first thing you have to do is not show your emotions!"

"The second point is that you should never reveal your trump card. But how did you do that? Yes, Nie Huaiyuan might really have a good relationship with you, but no matter how good it is, if one day for some benefit, can he kill you directly?"

"This benefit may be a promotion, or it may be coercion. Have you ever thought about this?"

Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment by his uncle's words. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he had nothing to say. After all, what his uncle said was possible.

Although he knew from the TV series in his previous life that Nie Huaiyuan was the one who had the last laugh, who could guarantee that he had the intention to go with the flow during that period of storm?

After all, his understanding of Nie Huaiyuan was more based on the impression of the characters in TV dramas in his previous life, but reality is not a TV drama. The final fate and process of many characters are not explained. God knows whether Nie Huaiyuan will betray him for his own benefit in the future.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly trembled.

"Then uncle, how do you think I should interact with Nie Huaiyuan in the future?"

"It was the same before, and it will be the same in the future!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Liu Wei's eyes, and he spoke slowly.

"But what if?"

Before Zhou Tian finished speaking, his uncle glared at him and waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Listen to what I have to say first."

Seeing that Zhou Tian stopped talking, he continued, "From your evaluation of Nie Huaiyuan just now, I can tell that Nie Huaiyuan is very cunning. Such a person is often either a tyrant or a person with extremely forbearing means. If such a person enters the official career, he will eventually be very successful!"

"But such people often have a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming, that is, they value feelings, especially towards the people around them. Since you have known this person since you were a nobody, it stands to reason that he should not do anything bad to you. On the contrary, he should be your benefactor. But in the final analysis, such people are often the most ruthless people. They can even sacrifice anyone for their own future!"

"So, you can continue to associate with him in the future, but you must be careful not to reveal your true identity to him!"

After working in the officialdom for so many years, Liu Wei can be said to be knowledgeable and experienced. He has met and interacted with all kinds of people. However, for such a person, his greatest advantage is sometimes his greatest weakness.

He didn't know whether this so-called Nie Huaiyuan was really as he thought, but he believed that it was necessary to keep some tricks up your sleeve when dealing with such a person.

"Uncle, I understand!"

After listening to his uncle's analysis, Zhou Tian nodded heavily.

"It's OK as long as you understand. Well, this matter doesn't have much impact on you. Even if Nie Huaiyuan tells others about it, it won't affect your position in the upper echelons. In the future, you still need to be careful. As for Li Huaide's affairs, you don't need to intervene. As long as this matter is exposed, someone will naturally come forward!"

"Okay, Xiaotian, it's getting late. Don't you have to go to Nie Huaiyuan's house for dinner? I won't keep you here! By the way, aren't you going to take Yulin with you when you go back?"

"Uncle will. I will take Yulin back with me! And introduce Brother Nie and his family to each other!"

After hearing what his uncle said, Zhou Tian also looked down at the time and found that it was indeed getting late. If he didn't leave now, it would delay his trip to Nie Huaiyuan's house.

He stood up, said something to his uncle, then stood up, pushed open his uncle's office and walked out.

"This little Tian is still a little too naive in politics! He trusts others too easily. But my little nephew seems to be a bit interesting. Should we transfer Xiao Zhinan to Changping?"

Liu Wei watched Zhou Tian leave and muttered to himself.

He was already accustomed to his eldest nephew's political wisdom, but it was this little nephew who made him look at him with new eyes. After all, his Liu family had no successor, and now the only descendants who could be considered descendants were his eldest nephew's family.

If this little nephew is really worth training, then he will naturally not be stingy with the resources in his hands. After thinking about it, he finally shook his head. Zhou Zhinan is still too young now, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing to bring him with him so early.

After all, he does have political enemies, and if these people turn their attention to Xiao Zhinan, it would be troublesome.

Let him gain experience in the factory for a while first!

However, after leaving the Changping District Government, Zhou Tian drove to the Chinese Medicine Hospital first. After picking up his wife, he took her back to Sijiu City.

On the way, Zhou Tian also explained the matter about Nie Huaiyuan. When the car returned to Sijiu City, it did not stop at the steel rolling mill at all, but went straight to Dongli Hutong where Brother Nie's home was.

Dongli Hutong is located in the northeast of Beixinqiao Street, starting from Dongzhimen Beizhong Street in the east and ending at Dongzhimen Nei Dajie in the west.

It belonged to Beijuxianfang in the Ming Dynasty, to Zhengbai Banner in the Qing Dynasty, and was called Donglishi Hutong in the Republic of China. When place names were rectified in 1965, East and West Lishi Hutongs were merged and renamed Dongli Hutong.

Since this place was once under the jurisdiction of the Zhengbai Banner, the people who generally live here are officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and their families, most of whom are Manchu nobles or middle and lower-level bannermen.

Compared with Nanluoguxiang, most of the courtyard houses here have one or two entrances. Among them, Brother Nie’s home is in Courtyard 87 in Dongli Hutong. It was the residence specially allocated to Nie Huaiyuan when Director Lou was there in order to make friends with the government management.

Unexpectedly, he would live here for more than ten years. Even after Director Lou withdrew from the management of the steel rolling mill, Nie Huaiyuan wanted to return the house several times. Finally, the superiors took Nie Huaiyuan's situation into consideration and allowed him to continue living here.
