Eating at home seems to have become a luxury for Gu Chen, especially when he hears the news that his son has been promoted, he has to celebrate it no matter what.
Although it was just to straighten the agency, it was also an important event for the Gu family to honor their ancestors.
Gu Baichuan naturally wanted to celebrate.
Originally it was just an ordinary home-cooked dish, but now it seems that it needs to be added.
Gu Chen was also a little dizzy and said quickly: "No, just eat something."
"How can you just eat something casually?" Xiao Xiaofang felt sorry for her son. She knew that her son worked every day in addition to work, especially this time, he was about to become deputy director directly from acting deputy director.
So what, in front of those good sisters, I also have the capital to show off.
For Xiao Xiaofang's dance circle, vanity is actually a common situation.
So-and-so’s daughter is promising, so-and-so’s son makes so much money, and so-and-so’s boy is admitted to a prestigious university.
Happy events like this are repeatedly publicized in Xiao Xiaofang's dance circle.
Although Xiao Xiaofang takes these situations lightly, the main thing is that she has a promising son.
Gu Chen's name, placed in Xiao Xiaofang's circle, is like a king.
Your son has been admitted to a prestigious university? Sorry, my son's name is Gu Chen.
Your daughter won a personal award for her performance? Sorry, my son’s name is Gu Chen.
Your son's business is booming this year and he has made a lot of money? He has bought a car and a house? Sorry, my son's name is Gu Chen.
As a result, there is an unwritten rule in Xiao Xiaofang's circle. Anyone who praises their children for their success should not be too arrogant in front of Xiao Xiaofang.
Or maybe other aunts can't stand some parents who show off, and they will move out of your family to get back at you.
In fact, even Gu Chen himself didn't know that his name would one day become a tool used by the aunts to argue with each other.
But for Xiao Xiaofang, this is naturally a good thing. After all, his son belongs to his family.
Whenever her son gets promoted, Xiao Xiaofang just says casually, "Oh, my son has been promoted. I said he is still too young. The promotion is just the trust of the leader in you. Don't be proud and complacent."
Although it was just a sentence of Versailles, the aunts did not think of it as Versailles. Instead, they continued to discuss the topic of Gu Chen's promotion for half a month.
Therefore, Gu Chen unintentionally became Xiao Xiaofang's tool in Versailles. Gu Chen could not appreciate the sourness.
After a while of Xiao Xiaofang's nagging, Gu Baichuan finally brought the prepared meal to the table and opened a bottle of treasured red wine. This sense of ceremony was complete.
So everyone sat at home and enjoyed the petty bourgeoisie atmosphere.
At this time, there was a sudden "dong dong dong" knock on the door. Gu Chen was still wondering. Gu Baichuan had already stood up and walked towards the door. He was also muttering: "It must be Lao Zhang."
coming."
"Zhang Jingde?" After hearing Gu Baichuan's words, Xiao Xiaofang was also stunned: "Why is he here?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Xiaofang suddenly realized it and couldn't help but smile and said: "Damn it, it must be this Lao Gu who informed Lao Zhang to come over when he was cooking."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Xiao Xiaofang added: "Your dad's damn vanity must be because when you mentioned that you were about to change from acting deputy director to deputy director, your dad suddenly notified Lao Zhang and asked him to come over for dinner.
, I don’t want to show off.”
Shaking her head, Xiao Xiaofang added: "But son, sometimes you also need to satisfy your father's damn vanity."
"Understood, I haven't seen Uncle Zhang for a long time." Gu Chen ate his food and didn't care. After all, Gu Chen needed to deeply understand the sophistication of human beings.
To me, Zhang Jingde is like one of his own family members.
Just as he was talking, Gu Baichuan on the other end had already walked over talking and laughing with Zhang Jingde.
Seeing Gu Chen, Zhang Jingde couldn't help but smile and said: "Gu Chen, I heard that you, the acting deputy director, will soon remove the word 'acting'? How gratifying is that?"
"Your dad refused to waste a second and immediately sent me a message asking me to come over for dinner."
"Haha, I haven't seen Uncle Zhang for a long time. I also want my dad to notify Uncle Zhang to come over." Gu Chen also listened to Zhang Jingde's words and quickly agreed.
Zhang Jingde sat next to Gu Chen familiarly, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, and then said:
"Yes, heroes come from young. That young man back then is now able to take the lead."
Glancing at Gu Baichuan next to him, Zhang Jingde said again: "Old Gu, your family really has a talent like Gu Chen because of the ancestors' smoke, so you can do it."
"Haha, isn't Gu Chen your nephew too? If Gu Chen has a future, you, the uncle, will also benefit from it, right?"
At this moment, Gu Baichuan was already very proud and wanted to show off in front of Zhang Jingde.
Of course, Zhang Jingde is also proud of Gu Chen.
After all, I watched him grow up. Sometimes, he watched Gu Chen step by step from a young police trainee to the current deputy director of the branch in just a few years.
It can be said that in just these few years, Gu Chen has gone through almost the entire lives of many people.
Just like myself, an ordinary grassroots police station veteran.
Of course, Zhang Jingde is not someone who likes to leave the grassroots police station. Zhang Jingde enjoys being able to stay at the grassroots police station all the time.
"By the way, Gu Chen, do you have any work arrangements next? As a leader, you should be very busy, right?" asked Zhang Jingde, who was co-writing the drinks.
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "Fortunately, although other management tasks have also increased a lot, I am still in charge of criminal investigation, which is my strength."
"Well, that's good. You can be trained in all aspects. This is a test for you from the city bureau."
"Young people who work in positions they are familiar with will become more comfortable in whatever they do in the future."

"It seems that you have completely digested the things I taught you in the beginning. In the future, you will have to learn more from those great leaders. What they taught you are the essence of how to behave in the world."
"And I can only teach you basic skills. One is higher and the other is lower. If you can figure it out, then you will be able to wear a white shirt in the future, at least much earlier than most people."
"I understand, Uncle Zhang." After listening to Zhang Jingde's instructions, Gu Chen picked up the drink, filled it with Zhang Jingde, and then said:
"Actually, when I first started working, Uncle Zhang gave me a lot of help."
"Including growing up, if I hadn't been influenced by you, Uncle Zhang, I wouldn't have been able to embark on my current career in the future, and I wouldn't have achieved the achievements I have now."
"In short, Uncle Zhang, you are the guide for my career. I'll give you a drink instead of wine."
After the words fell, Gu Chen picked up the cup and was about to clink it with Zhang Jingde.
Zhang Jingde was naturally comfortable with what he heard, so he directly picked up the cup and clinked it with Gu Chen.
This made Gu Baichuan beside him extremely jealous, and he couldn't help but said: "Hey, what's going on? I, Gu Baichuan, invited you to my house as a guest, but you became the protagonist."
"How do you feel, our family is giving you a celebration cocktail party for Lao Zhang?"
"Haha, is this important?" Listening to Gu Baichuan's sour words, Zhang Jingde said indifferently:
"Anyway, I, Zhang Jingde, am happy that Gu Chen has a promising future. It's that simple."
"That's right, it's our son who will succeed anyway." Xiao Xiaofang also felt it didn't matter.
Although it felt like Zhang Jingde was a bit too dominant, Xiao Xiaofang actually understood that this was a sign of Gu Chen's growing maturity.
Xiao Xiaofang was actually a little worried about her precious son. The main reason was that her son was too upright and didn't know how to behave.
In the final analysis, he is kind-hearted, but if he is too kind, he can be bullied easily.
Fortunately, Gu Chen has a handsome face and a very charming personality. Anyone who comes in contact with Gu Chen feels that Gu Chen is a good friend.
Coupled with his outstanding ability and the high regard of his leaders, all these factors combined allowed Gu Chen to stand out among his peers.
Coupled with the training of two great leadership masters, Zhao Guozhi and Qin Gang, Gu Chen's leadership skills are also constantly improving.
Especially in terms of speaking, the art of language has also been qualitatively improved.
Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang, as well as Zhang Jingde, were all seen by everyone.
Gu Chen thought about his future work arrangements and casually mentioned: "By the way, maybe in a few days, I will be sent to study abroad?"
"Outside? Exchange and study?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Gu Baichuan also put down his chopsticks and asked:
"Then where will you go this time?"
"It's not clear yet. The higher-ups haven't given a clear plan, but it should be from other provinces."
"Then do your best and don't embarrass our old Gu family. Normally, go home and visit more often when you have time. Don't always miss your presence all day long."
"I don't know, you thought your mother and I were lonely old people."
"Haha, it's not that serious, right?" Hearing Gu Baichuan's teasing, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Xiaofang also quickly said: "Isn't that right? Your father and I are the only two people at home, and we usually only talk to the neighbors."
After thinking about it, Xiao Xiaofang added: "Oh, by the way, if you are not free, you can ask Weiwei to come over. Your dad and I haven't seen Weiwei for a long time."
"On every New Year's and holidays, she would send me text messages to wish me well. When she saw the Moments I sent, she would also give me crazy likes."
"Let me tell you, Weiwei is a good girl, you can't bully her."
"I know." Gu Chen also smiled slightly when Xiao Xiaofang started talking about this topic again, intentionally or unintentionally.
You know, in the eyes of Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Baichuan, Lu Weiwei today is an amazing girl.
The family is well off, the roots are healthy, the person is beautiful, and the body is in great shape.
In the eyes of Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Baichuan, this is the perfect choice for their daughter-in-law.
And Lu Weiwei also has her own way of dealing with the relationship with her future parents-in-law.
It can be said that Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang are now completely controlled by Lu Weiwei.
Whenever Lu Weiwei is mentioned, she must be praised in front of Gu Chen.
Of course, although Gu Chen knew that this was Lu Weiwei's small courtesy in front of her parents, Gu Chen was very satisfied with the relationship between them.
Thinking that it had been a long time since he had brought Lu Weiwei home to sit around, Gu Chen asked again: "Senior Sister Lu is on vacation tomorrow. How about I change my shift and let Senior Sister Lu come over and sit at home?"
"Hurry up then." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Xiao Xiaofang, who was still eating, immediately put down her chopsticks and urged:
"Son, you call Weiwei right now and ask her to come over every day. Just say that your father and I miss her."
After thinking about it, Xiao Xiaofang immediately changed her words: "No, no, just say you miss her."
"It's harmful!" Seeing that Xiao Xiaofang was going crazy wanting to see her daughter-in-law, Zhang Jingde, who was eating melon on the side, couldn't help but said:
"Why does Gu Chen miss her? We haven't seen her for just a day. Do you think Gu Chen can say it out loud?"
"Isn't there a saying that goes like this? One day's absence is like three autumns," Xiao Xiaofang continued to insist on her point of view.
Gu Baichuan on the side also felt embarrassed and quickly reminded him:
"Honey, I don't think it's appropriate either. This is not our son's style."
"We usually work in the same workplace, and we are used to seeing each other every day. You suddenly asked our son to say such disgusting words. Didn't you scare Weiwei?"
"I think it's safer to say that the two of us miss her."
Glancing at Zhao Guozhi, Gu Baichuan said again: "Lao Zhang, what do you think?"
"I also think Lao Gu is right. You miss her too much. What kind of person is Gu Chen? It's not like you don't know, and it's not like others don't know either."
"If you want to meet your future daughter-in-law, just say what you want. It's best for Gu Chen to be himself."
"I still think it's better for Gu Chen."
"No, we have to talk to each other."
"Why?"
"Why do you have so many?"
…
On the issue of how to invite the daughter-in-law to the house as a guest, everyone actually started arguing.
Gu Chen couldn't stand it any longer, so he sighed quietly, then took out his cell phone and dialed Lu Weiwei's number directly.
When the call was connected, Xiao Xiaofang, Gu Baichuan and Zhang Jingde immediately stopped arguing, their ears perked up, wanting to hear what Gu Chen had to say.
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Weiwei's gentle voice came: "Junior brother Gu, what's wrong? Did my aunt and uncle miss me? So I asked you to call me?"
"I'm telling you, I don't have time today. I have to go to work and I'm very busy. I'm on vacation tomorrow. You can switch shifts with someone else. But what do you think about me coming to your house as a guest?"
Before Gu Chen opened his mouth, Lu Weiwei had already finished what she needed to say.
Gu Chen also looked embarrassed, thinking that Lu Weiwei was indeed Lu Weiwei, and it was indeed the roundworm in his stomach.
