At this time, Le Fan was the center of attention. As for Wen Xinrui, she could only be ignored. Only Wen Xinrui's mother felt something was wrong and came to her daughter's room to see the situation.
In the living room, everyone from the Wen family gathered, which can be described as a huge gathering.
Mr. Wen has three sons and one daughter.
The youngest daughter is Wen Shiyue, the eldest son is Wen Shibin, the second son is Wen Shiwu, and the third son is Wen Shili.
Wen Shibin has two children, a boy named Wen Zhijun, the eldest grandson of Mr. Wen, and a girl named Wen Xinling.
Wen Shibin has a boy named Wen Zhiyong.
Wen Shili has a pair of twin daughters, the eldest daughter is Wen Xinrui, and the second daughter is Wen Xinqi. At this time, Wen Xinqi is not in China, but studying at Harvard University in the United States.
In addition to them, there are also Mr. Huan Wen's daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, and even great-grandson. Plus his only son-in-law and grandson, it can be said that they are all a big family.
Mr. Wen held his great-grandson in his arms and introduced Le Fan one by one, so that Le Fan could recognize the members of their Wen family.
Although Le Fan could not stand up to bow, he still kept bowing with his upper body to show respect to them.
Although Le Fan was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Wen for setting a trap for him, etiquette and etiquette should still be thorough, otherwise, it would appear a bit arrogant.
When everyone saw that Le Fan was humble and polite, their favorable impression of Le Fan greatly increased.
However, there are also people who look down on Le Fan, including Wen Xinling.
Wen Xinling is also a victim of political marriage. What she dislikes the most is political marriage. Seeing that Wen Xinrui, who is as smart as a lantern, has become a victim of political marriage, she is filled with emotions. Therefore, she feels deeply for Le Fan.
I can't stand it.
Besides her, there is her brother Wen Zhijun.
This Wen Zhijun is as talented as his name suggests. He is also young, in his thirties, and is already in a high position, becoming a senior official at the deputy department level. This makes him qualified to look down on Le Fan.
Wen Zhiyong is only one month younger than Le Fan, and is now a senior-level leader. He heard that after the annual adjustment, he will be promoted to deputy director.
He admired Le Fan's chess skills very much. Since he was similar in age, he didn't have any airs in front of Le Fan. Instead, he sat very close to Le Fan and gave Le Fan a kind smile.
"Lele, after the New Year, Yanjing City will introduce a new policy for village officials, allowing university student village officials who have expired to directly take the civil service examination at the deputy section level. This is good news for you." Wen Shi.
Li said slowly while observing Le Fan's reaction.
"With such a policy, if it is true, my three years as a village official will not be in vain." Le Fan responded with a smile.
"Lele, this is specially designed for you by Third Brother. A few years ago, he specially instructed his subordinates to propose such a plan, and it was discussed and approved at the Standing Committee." Wen Shiyue said.
"Thank you Uncle Wen for opening a passage for me, but is this unfair?" Le Fan asked.
"Lele, what you said is wrong. You college village officials have been training at the grassroots level for three years. It would be unfair if we didn't give you a reasonable channel. You know, in the officialdom, age is very important. One step is too late.
, Bu Bu Chi, this is also Lao San’s thoughtful consideration for you college student village officials." Wen Shibin said.
"Lele, this is a good thing for you. You must thank your Uncle Wen very much and seize this opportunity." Mrs. Dong was filled with joy.
In fact, Le Fan knew very well that the policy for village officials was not necessarily formulated specifically for Le Fan. In Yanjing City, many children of middle-level officials could not pass the civil service examination, so they passed the village official position and entered the establishment.
No, this policy was formulated for them, and Wen Shiyue has already said that this policy was formulated years ago, which further illustrates that Wen Shiyue's statement is just a rhetoric.
"Lele, this path specifically for village officials is a good opportunity for you. As long as you pass the written examination, you don't have to worry about the rest. Where do you want to work in Yanjing City?
You choose." Mr. Wen threw out the bait.
"Brother Le, this is a good thing. If we can reserve a position for you and set some conditions based on your major, etc., it can greatly reduce the number of applicants, which will be very beneficial to you." Wen Zhiyong said.
"Is this really the so-called setting up positions based on people? If I really get admitted like this, how will others view me in the future?" Le Fan thought to himself.
"I think I have to do the exam myself to prove my strength. Sister Xinrui relies on her own ability. I can't let others look down on me." Le Fan found a way to impress everyone.
Irrefutable reasons.
"Okay, I'm relieved that you have such a mentality! Just review hard in the remaining days and try to get good grades." Wen Shili was still satisfied with Le Fan's answer.
If Le Fan really made the request, he would not be satisfied. It can be seen from his education of his children that he pays attention to their children's independence.
He will not help unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Well, Lele's self-reliant character and survivability are what I value the most. You brothers must learn not to rely on your family without thinking about it whenever something happens. You must learn to be self-reliant! Okay.
"This topic ends here. Let's talk about Lele and Ruirui's engagement. It's rare for everyone to get together like this." Mr. Wen finally brought up the important point.
"Lele, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Wen Shiwu asked.
Wen Shiwu Ke was really a Confucian general. He was now a lieutenant general and served as the chief of staff of the Southwest Military Region.
"Grandpa Wen, elders, to be honest, sister Xinrui is a good daughter. Even Gao Sheng of the Gao family admires her. However, I am immoral and incompetent. I am really not worthy of her if I am engaged to her. Regardless of my family status.
, social status, economic level, even family background and other considerations, I am not worthy of her." Lele looked around the crowd and said.
"I believe that love is supreme and marriage is sacred. It is a lifelong event that determines a person's life. It cannot be decided hastily, let alone the person involved. Didn't Xu Zhimo say, 'Life is precious
, the price of love is higher. A marriage without love is like a zombie without a soul. It is unfair to both parties in the marriage. I have always advocated fairness and voluntariness." Le Fan continued.
"Lele, you are right, but this is just an engagement, not a marriage. Besides, Ruirui also has something to say, I will call her," Wen Shiyue said.
The living room fell into silence for a moment, as they all savored Le Fan's words.
