After New Year's Eve, a few days before the first lunar month, Yang Chen took Nalan Tongtong and accompanied his parents to visit relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings. Uncles, uncles, aunts and uncles all circled around, and it was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, relatives gathered at Yang Chen's house. There were several houses and more than a dozen people. The relatively spacious living room seemed crowded, and some people glanced at Nalan Tongtong from time to time.
After the Spring Festival in Nalan Tongtong the year before last, the Yang family generously handed out hundreds of thousands of red envelopes, which made the relatives of the Yang family very happy. Many people have never forgotten this and are looking forward to another big gift this year.
Yang Chen had already prepared and handed out red envelopes one by one, including the elders. Uncle Yang Chen pretended to give in, which made his wife roll her eyes sharply, smiled awkwardly, and accepted the red envelope.
Next to him, Yang Hao's wife couldn't wait to open the red envelope and pulled out a stack of colorful banknotes. They were not RMB, but US dollars. Ten brand-new US banknotes with a face value of 100 yuan, equivalent to more than 6,000 RMB. The red envelope came with an exquisite card, Mingzhu Shopping.
Center’s 10,000 Yuan gift card.
Another hundred thousand.
People were secretly happy and lamented.
Liu Hua smiled and watched his son hand out the red envelope. In fact, he was not very happy. He was not stingy and stingy and didn't want to give up the money. He thought it was not worth it and spent so much. Remember that there are not many good things about you. There are many people who think you are stupid.
Be yourself.
It doesn't matter what other people think.
This was Yang Chen's idea. Just after handing out the red envelopes, the doorbell rang. Thinking that another relative was coming, he hurriedly opened the door, and one person stopped outside the door, smiling broadly.
Li Hanwei, Zhou Zhengchuan’s secretary.
Today's Deputy Mayor Xinfeng, although ranked last among the six deputy mayors, is the youngest, has the strongest connections in the province, and has the most potential.
"Brother Li..." Yang Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly invited people into the house. He once briefly mentioned where his parents lived at the wine table, but he didn't expect that Brother Li was so serious about it that he came over to pay New Year's greetings on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
At the end of the Spring Festival holiday, Li Hanwei officially took office and rushed to Xinfeng in advance. The first thing he did was to come to Yang's house. This little brother Yang Chen has a bright future and attaches great importance to love and righteousness. It is worth making friends with him.
"There are so many people, I came at the wrong time." Li Hanwei entered the room and saw more than ten people crowded in the living room. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. He smiled and looked around at the men, women, old and children in the living room, and nodded.
"You can come at any time. The door of my house is always open for you." Yang Chen joked with a smile and introduced Li Hanwei to his parents, saying that he was Uncle Zhou's secretary and was now assigned to Xinfeng.
Liu Hua was stunned and didn't understand who Uncle Zhou was.
Yang Guodong reacted much faster than his wife. The so-called Uncle Zhou by his son refers to his old comrade Zhou Zhengchuan. He was promoted to secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee, deputy ministerial level, and Lao Zhou’s secretary. His level must not be much lower.
It seems that he and his son have a close relationship.
"Uncle Yang, auntie, happy New Year, I wish you all your wishes will come true and good health in the new year. I brought back some local specialties from Sanya, and I took this opportunity to bring them over for New Year greetings. Please accept my wishes.
." When Li Hanwei faced Yang Chen's parents, he was as respectful as if he were facing his own elders.
"Happy New Year to you too." Liu Hua smiled and took the gift, put it away, moved a chair from the dining room, and invited Li Hanwei to sit at the coffee table. The relatives of the Yang family stopped chatting and silently looked at the strange visitor Li Hanwei.
While passing the cigarette to Li Hanwei, Yang Guodong asked: "Xiao Li, which department in Xinfeng are you decentralized from the Public Security Department to?"
"City government." Li Hanwei replied with a smile, low-key and restrained.
The words "city government" immediately touched the hearts of a large group of relatives in the Yang family. Uncle Yang Chen slowly picked up the tea cup and gently blew away the floating tea leaves. He glanced at Li Hanwei like a veteran cadre and asked, "What are you doing in the city hall?"
"Brother Li is appointed as deputy mayor."
Yang Chen chatted and the whole audience was shocked.
Yang Hao stared at Li Hanwei in disbelief, thinking that this guy was only around thirty years old, so why did he become the deputy mayor? Could it be that his cousin was bragging again?
Uncle Yang Chen also didn't believe it.
This old man had been working in the system until he was about to retire, and he was still a clerk. Suddenly a young man appeared, he was the deputy mayor of Xinfeng, a deputy division level cadre. He was so embarrassed and could not accept it.
Yang Guodong frowned and said slowly: "Lao Zhou's secretary, coming to Xinfeng to be the deputy mayor is not considered a condescension."
"Guodong, who is Old Zhou?" Uncle Yang Chen finally couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Old Zhou is my old comrade-in-arms Zhou Zhengchuan." Yang Guodong revealed the answer to the mystery, and Yang Chen's uncles and aunts were shocked again. Everyone in Xinfeng knew about Zhou Zhengchuan.
In the past ten years, he is the only Xinfeng person who has become a member of the Provincial Standing Committee.
When Uncle Yang Chen learned the answer, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth. The old man who had been putting on airs just now wiped the water stains around his mouth hastily, and praised Li Hanwei for being young and promising with a smile, and his attitude changed completely.
Li Hanwei repeatedly said that he did not dare to take it seriously.
Yang Hao, who was sitting next to his father and watching, looked complicated, tangled and depressed, and could not accept the fact that the dignified deputy mayor Xinfeng came to his cousin's house to pay New Year's greetings.
People were sure that Li Hanwei was the deputy mayor of Xinfeng, so they were subconsciously cautious about his words and deeds, and a bit restrained. Only Yang Chen had no scruples, calling Li Hanwei brothers, talking and joking around.
At first, the elders of the Yang family thought that it was because of Zhou Zhengchuan that Li Hanwei gave Yang Chen face like this. Later, they gradually realized that it was not what they thought.
These two are like buddies.
Yang Guodong could not figure out the mystery, and Yang Chen's uncle Yang Guoliang was equally puzzled.
Guo Tao followed Yang Chen, had several meals with Li Hanwei and Bai Botao, left the sofa, moved a small bench from the balcony, sat next to Yang Chen, and chatted with Li Hanwei.
Liu Hua placed fruit snacks in the restaurant and called the three of them to sit here.
"Let's go over there and chat." Yang Chen moved first, and Li Hanwei smiled and nodded at the Yang family's elders, then walked towards the restaurant carrying a used water glass.
Open restaurant.
Yang Chen, Li Hanwei, and Guo Tao were chatting. People in the living room listened carefully and heard clearly. After Li Hanwei sat down, he asked Guo Tao, "Will the construction of the high-speed rail station project start in the spring?"
Guo Tao peeled a banana and nodded while eating it: "Yes, we will start construction as soon as the weather warms up. If nothing happens, it will be built in about two years."
Li Hanwei smiled and said: "Your kid is going to become a billionaire soon. I'm jealous. If I hadn't entered the officialdom and felt bound, I would have followed Yang Zi."
"What a billionaire, it's early. Brother Li is taking the right path in the world, and his future is limitless."
Guo Tao responded modestly, and Li Hanwei shook his head like a rattle, then raised his hand and pointed at Yang Chen, "If there is a person with an unlimited future, it must be Yang Zi. I am too far behind."
At this moment, the elders of the Yang family were collectively silent.
Guo Tao and Li Hanwei revealed too many shocking situations.
Uncle Yang Chen stared at the restaurant with dumbfounded eyes. His heart was filled with emotions. His nephew Yang Chen had an unlimited future. His nephew Guo Tao was going to be a billionaire. Where could he follow?
But Li Hanwei, who revealed this information, is extremely influential.
