Not to mention that Gu Yun didn't expect it, even Zhong Xingbang and Ning Jiahong opened their eyes in surprise.
The relationship between the two is so good, but Le Yi is unwilling to get engaged?
Zhong Leyi took a paper towel from the paper drawer on the table, wiped her mouth to indicate that she was full, then stood up and sat back on the sofa.
Zhong Leyi is really not very interested in the matter of engagement at the moment.
You're only a sophomore, why are you in such a hurry to get engaged?
What's more, considering the emotional intensity between herself and Gu Yun, if she still needs parents' suggestions for engagement, rather than Gu Yun's initiative from the bottom of her heart, then she would rather refuse.
"An engagement is not a marriage, it's just a process. Parents, relatives and friends of both parties sit down together. You don't have to think it's complicated..."
Seeing Zhong Leyi's cold and indifferent attitude, Zhong Xingbang felt something was wrong.
what's the situation?
He is a traditional father. In his eyes, when two people break through that level of intimacy, it is equivalent to a de facto marriage in some aspects.
What's more, if we don't settle the matter now while both parties are still in school and their contact circle is limited, Gu Yun's career will get bigger and bigger in the future, and it's not certain what will happen.
Zhong Xingbang has also heard about how proactive girls can be for a young and wealthy man.
What if Gu Yun changes his mind in the future?
Engagement changes the relationship from an illusory girlfriend to a fiancée with family blessings. I believe Gu Yun will also further understand what responsibility is and what a man's responsibility is.
"Yes, we will sit down with Xiao Gu's parents next week. I know you young people may find this ceremony troublesome, so you don't need to worry about it."
Ning Jiahong also persuaded her, and she was definitely no less satisfied with Gu Yun than Zhong Xingbang.
As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.
Every time she hears colleagues and parents of students praising the park's technology products in the office, Ning Jiahong feels that she has gained some blessings in her previous life to allow her daughter to meet such a capable boyfriend.
"Dad, Mom, please stop talking. Whether we get engaged or not is a matter between the two of us. You elders should stop interfering."
Zhong Leyi turned her head and looked at her parents, the look in her eyes did not look like she was joking.
Zhong Xingbang and Ning Jiahong knew their daughter very well and knew that no one else could change her determination, so they stopped trying to persuade her now.
"Uncle, aunt, it doesn't matter. It's really too early to talk about getting engaged now. I support Le Yi's idea. When the time is right for graduation, I will come to you and propose marriage and engagement."
"And no elder would take the initiative to propose this kind of thing. I have to work hard for it myself, right?"
The atmosphere became a little solemn because of Zhong Leyi's rejection. When Gu Yun found the steps, he quickly came out to smooth things over.
Gu Yun's sensible attitude instantly resolved the embarrassment of Zhong Xingbang and Ning Jiahong. The two elders laughed and were very satisfied with his reaction.
It is indeed a bit inappropriate. My daughter is only a sophomore in college and she is not willing to do it. Forcibly following the ideas of her elders would be more detrimental than gain.
"Xiao Gu, I heard Le Yi say, do you want to build a ski resort on that land in the western mountainous area?"
Zhong Xingbang came back to his senses, gave up the idea of getting engaged, and brought up a new topic.
"Yes, Uncle Zhong, do you have any suggestions?"
Gu Yun nodded and asked a question.
The nature of Zhong Xingbang's work determines that when he deals with some things, he will always have some methods that others cannot think of, and he will always have more clever angles when thinking about problems.
"Can't we change places?"
Zhong Xingbang smoked a Huazi from the cigarette case and put it to his ear. He got up and walked to the balcony with Gu Yun to chat.
"No, this is the only land in the city suitable for building a ski resort, and I promised Le Yi."
Gu Yun pressed the lighter, bent down, and helped his father-in-law light the Huazi. He was very skilled at his job.
"Okay, then I will give you a suggestion."
Zhong Xingbang narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and regained the strategic posture of an office leader.
His eyes flew to the distance to the west.
"Others say there is a lot of power behind this land, but most of the residents are just pretending to be powerful. The most powerful one is our city's richest man, Shao Yanfeng, and a group of retired cadres who are using their spare time."
Building a ski resort was also Zhong Leyi's wish. Her prospective father-in-law immediately became serious and stood side by side with Gu Yun, analyzing it very clearly.
In front of Gu Yun is Shao Yanfeng, the richest man in Liaocheng who started his career in real estate. Except for government buildings, almost all luxury communities in this city are produced by Shao Yanfeng's real estate company.
He is well-deserved as the richest man. He single-handedly bears part of the GDP of Liaocheng, a prefecture-level city. Every major leader must give him three cents of noodles.
After all, the economy is the primary productive force.
"If you can deal with Shao Yanfeng, the next problem is the retired veteran cadre."
The human heart is the greatest politics.
Whether it is a small town in the fourth or fifth tiers, a developed city in the first or second tiers, or even the whole country, in the final analysis, it is a human society.
Otherwise, every time when leaders come to power, they will not immediately visit the senior cadres to express their respect and rally people's hearts.
Who doesn’t know that building villas in western mountainous areas is illegal or even illegal?
But if, just because of this matter, we go to real lengths to demolish the residence of veteran cadres, leaving the old leaders homeless and unable to find a comfortable place to live, I am afraid that their reputation in the circle will also be affected.
.
This is where the shackles of human society lie.
Liaocheng is not a big city, and it is easy to perform one's duties according to the law, but no one wants to bear the infamy of being pointed out behind his back and receiving a reputation that does not reflect old feelings.
"This is the basic situation. It's still not easy to handle."
After analyzing the current situation of building a ski resort, Zhong Xingbang put out his cigarette butt and tapped his fingers on the ashtray.
"I don't think so."
After listening to Zhong Xingbang's analysis, Gu Yun felt that he had found the key to breaking through the quagmire behind everything.
"Uncle Zhong, our top leader in Liaocheng, how many years is this year in office?"
After a brief organization, Gu Yun asked.
"It's the fourth year."
"So where did our economic growth rate rank in the province last year?"
"Ranked second to last."
After asking the two questions, the spirit-like Zhong Xingbang turned to look at Gu Yun, with an undisguised look of admiration in his eyes.
As we all know, the term of a major leader in a region is five years.
If there are no results within five years, the chances of taking another step forward are very slim.
For the main leaders, they must have tried many ways to boost Liaocheng's economy in the few years they have been in power, but they still rank at the bottom of the province.
Does he still have a chance?
If a new opportunity arises, does he still need to consider other people's feelings when facing his own future?
