Chapter 890: The position of minister

The New Year’s Eve dinner was quite lively. Everyone sat around the big round table in the restaurant, and several bottles of good wine collected by Minister Sun were placed on the table.

Minister Sun smiled and picked up the wine glass and signaled to everyone: "Come... Cheers..."

Everyone smiled slightly, then picked up the wine glass and said in unison: "Cheers..."

At this time, snowflakes floated outside the window of the restaurant, like floating cotton wool in the night sky, fluttering in the wind, covering the sky and the sound of firecrackers, accompanied by crackling sounds of firecrackers, covering the entire Yanjing...

This year was quite lively, at least Minister Sun felt that even when Sun Lingfei's mother was still there, she rarely had such lively.

So Minister Sun was very happy and got drunk again...

After sending Minister Sun into the room to rest, Xu's father and mother, who had drunk less, sat around the sofa in the living room to rest, watching the annual party.

Xu Hao couldn't let go of the car keys in his hand, and from time to time he pulled Xu Ze excitedly and asked about the appearance and color of the new car... At this time, Xu Qing'er was hanging out with Sun Lingfei, discussing something happily, and a low laughter broke out from time to time.

Seeing all this, Xu's father and mother leaned on the sofa and smiled lovingly. For them, this year was not much different from last year. The only difference was that they had changed a place, but this year was getting warmer and warmer...

"My parents...Minister Liu said that he wanted to invite us to dinner tomorrow... asked if we had any other arrangements..." Xu Ze said to the two elders with a smile.

Xu's father and mother looked at each other, a warm smile appeared in their eyes, and then Xu's father smiled and said, "Minister Liu is so polite, so let's go and disturb the supper!"

"Well... OK!" Xu Ze nodded, then smiled helplessly: "My parents...that's the arrangement tomorrow. I'm going to Grandpa Li's side in the morning to greet Grandpa Li's New Year... Then everyone will go for dinner together that night..."

"good…"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Ze led his family to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li in the morning. After a short rest, the whole family and Minister Sun went to the Yanjing Hotel to attend Liu Changfeng's banquet.

Yanjing Hotel is one of the oldest top hotels in Yanjing. Due to the accumulation of history and the elegant environment, many military and political people like to invite banquets here, especially during this Spring Festival. Although it is still the first day of the New Year, the Yanjing Hotel is already quite lively, and all the private rooms are fully booked before noon.

Xu Ze and his group got out of the car and walked into the hotel. They had already met many acquaintances...

"Yo... Xu Tesan, Minister Sun... Happy New Year, Happy New Year..." He saw a man and a woman in her thirties approaching this side with a hint of respect and greeting.

The man is the director of a certain office of the Government Council. He is also a very powerful figure in Yanjing. Each department is subordinate to the Government Council. Therefore, although this person is a little lower, he has always been on par with Sun Ruina. However, when Xu Ze and Sun Rui came together, this person is close and has a hint of respect.

"Ah...Director Li, a happy new year...haha" After the two of them smiled and replied, Director Li glanced at Xu's father and mother next to Xu Ze.

After Director Li hesitated for a moment, a smile immediately spread on his face, and he said politely to Xu's father and mother Xu, "These two are Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu... Happy New Year, Happy New Year..."

Xu's father naturally knew that at this time, those who could enter and leave the place and say hello to Xu Ze were either rich or noble. However, he didn't expect that the other party had never seen him and was so polite to him.

Knowing that this was his son's face, he was calm and smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Director Li...Happy New Year..."

Everyone walked along this way, and the people they met along the way greeted everyone warmly and respectfully, which made Xu Ze a little helpless, but he couldn't do it, so he could only go back one by one.

Liu Changfeng's arrangement today was very considerate. In addition to the few people on Xu Ze's side, Liu Changfeng only brought Liu Yunxuan to welcome him at the door.

Seeing Liu Changfeng greeting at the door in person, Minister Sun felt a little embarrassed, but he also knew that this face belonged to Xu Ze, but he still didn't understand even now. With this person like Minister Liu who possesses terrifying energy, even if Xu Ze is now a lieutenant general, it would not take him to do so; especially Xu Ze is still his own son, this matter is really inconspicuous.

"Happy New Year of Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu..."

"Happy New Year Uncle Sun..."

"Brother Aze...Happy New Year..."

When Liu Yunxuan saw Xu Ze, he was quite happy, but he still gave everyone a very regular greeting;

"Yun Xuan...How is it recently? Have you tried hard?" Seeing this younger brother, a trace of warmth flashed in Xu Ze's eyes and he asked with concern.

"I work very hard... Brother Aze, I'm going to level one more time..." Liu Yunxuan said authentically.

"Getting to level one?" Xu Ze was also happy on his face, and then smiled and said, "Not bad...not bad..."

"Come on...Brother Xu, sister-in-law, Minister Sun, sit inside..." Liu Changfeng enthusiastically invited everyone to sit inside;

Everyone is acquaintances and is quite close, so naturally no one is polite, and everyone is very casual.

The meal was quite lively, and everyone had a staggering cup and plate, so naturally they drank one or two bottles of wine. Many of the people here could drink. Liu Changfeng and Xu Ze were both experts in drinking, and they could drink four or five taels of wine like Minister Sun Ruisun and Xu's father. Xu Hao and Liu Yunxuan were also made an exception today and had a few drinks. It can be said that the atmosphere was quite good.

"Minister Sun... I heard that the work in your department was doing well last year..." After drinking a few glasses of wine, Liu Changfeng started to speak casually.

Sun Rui smiled and said, "Minister Liu is over-reputable. But last year our department carried out a series of rectification activities, and the efficiency has been slightly improved..."

"This is not easy... After all, this is also a large part of the department. It is not easy for Minister Sun to do this!" Liu Changfeng smiled, and then seemed to say casually: "Minister Sun has been in this position for several years!"

After hearing Liu Changfeng's words, Sun Rui's heart thumped, and he quickly laughed and said, "Yes... It's been four years in a blink of an eye..."

"Well... I have similar qualifications and have some results. I can consider going up a little longer..." Liu Changfeng nodded, then looked at Sun Rui and smiled softly.

When Sun Rui heard this, he felt ecstatic. He had not lived a good life since the death of the one behind him two years ago. He just thought about how many years he could hold on in this position, and how could he have thought about climbing up again.

It is not easy for Xu Ze to be there now. He was summoned by that person again, and then he calmed down and made several big moves to rectify the slackness accumulated in the department for several years, but he really had no idea what to take another step.

But Sun Rui didn't understand what Minister Liu said, but he didn't expect that he could go up. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and laughed slowly: "Minister Liu, don't joke... Now that I am like this, it would be good to be able to persist in the ministry for one or two more years, but it would be not easy to go further..."

The father, Xu, mother and others were chatting casually, and they were listening to each other. When they heard this, everyone calmed down. Listening to the conversation between the two, they knew that although Minister Liu spoke casually, the topic was not casual.

"The so-called people go to a high place. Minister Sun is now in a strong momentum. It is just when he moves forward. Don't underestimate himself..." Liu Changfeng's words were officially divided, and he smiled and said, "I don't know what Minister Liu has. If he has the opportunity, should he be a foreign officer or continue to be in Yanjing..."

"Ah...this..." Sun Rui was really in trouble now. When did he think about this? Liu Changfeng suddenly asked. Although he was excited, he was really a little difficult to answer.

Since Liu Changfeng asked, he was naturally aimless. He smiled and said, "If you are in Yanjing, there is no problem with the government committee member, but it is difficult to be a vice president... If you are outside, there are a few top leaders who have been missing recently, but there are not many good provinces... Minister Sun can grasp it yourself!"

Liu Changfeng said so clearly that Sun Rui finally found it difficult to curb the excitement in his heart. He is in his fifties now and is young and strong. If he has enough strength behind him and can be the lord of any province outside, it is naturally a good choice. With the experience of being in charge of the land, it is equivalent to laying the foundation for future development;

As for being a vice president directly, this is something he has never thought about now. If he is a vice president, it is equivalent to embarking on a path to supreme power, but if he wants to go to this, he will naturally know the difficulties;

This government committee member is also a serious vice-national level, and he has been promoted directly to the next level. However, if he becomes a government committee member, he will have no room for further improvement. He is now in the year of R&F. If everything goes well in the future, he still has the hope of climbing to a higher position...

After pondering for a moment, he said, "I think it would be best if I have the opportunity to go down to the place for a few years..."

Xu Ze was listening on the side, and he also understood Liu Changfeng's proposal. The Liu family had always been low-key in the past because the Liu family was in charge of the Supervision Department, but there was no real master of heaven. In order to prevent that person from being suspicious, he did not cultivate capable personnel in this regard like the Wu family.

But now, there are not many concerns about this. Since the Liu family intends to recommend Minister Sun to the throne, Xu Ze is naturally happy to see it.

Hearing Minister Sun's words, he smiled and nodded, "For...the experience of taking charge of a province will be more beneficial to future development... Otherwise, even if he is a vice president, he has no experience at the grassroots level, and there will be many restrictions if he takes another step..."
