"Mom, stop making blind guesses. It's rare for my aunt and her family to come to Changhai as guests. First of all, please don't talk about these things, okay?" Yang Yunli obviously didn't want to talk more about Shen Tianya, so he whispered after hearing this.
The second aunt was just guessing at first, but now seeing her son's attitude, she couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, and her face suddenly turned ugly. But as Yang Yunli said, it is rare for Yang Yuanqing's family to come to Changhai as a guest, plus this This kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly for a while, but in the end the second aunt nodded and whispered: "Okay, we'll talk about it when we get home tonight. Yunli, don't be sad. If Tian Ya was really that kind of girl, we would have separated them earlier..." …”
"Mom, where did you go? Stop talking. Auntie and the others are all looking towards us." Yang Yunli saw Yang Yuanqing and others looking towards them, interrupted quickly, and then went up to open the car door with a smile.
"Tian Ya, are you okay? Yunli?" Yang Xuqing asked casually when she saw Yang Yunli opening the car door and bending down to get in.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just have a little cold." Yang Yunli didn't know that his little aunt Yang Xuqing was now very smart, but what he said to her mother fell into her ears word for word. He thought that his little aunt was worried about Shen Tian. Ya's body was lifted up and she hurriedly replied.
Yang Xuqing saw her nephew say this, and she couldn't understand the situation clearly with just a few words, so it was hard to ask any more questions. Hearing the words, Yang Xuqing smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." After that, she bent down and sat down. Got into the car.
The ancestors of the Yang family once produced two talented people, and they were considered well-known scholars in Changhai County. Although they are not as good as before, they are still more than enough. Every household has a house and a car.
Fourteen people and three cars left the community and headed straight for the Blooming Hotel, the best hotel in Changhai County.
Changhai County is a basin located between mountains. The county seat is not as big as Wenchang County. It only takes a few minutes to drive from the community to the Weikai Hotel.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are a lot of people coming to the hotel to treat guests to dinner, so when Zhang Weidong and his party arrived, the hotel was very lively with people coming and going.
After all, his second uncle, Yang Changzheng, had worked in a government agency for many years and seemed to have quite a wide network of contacts. Within a short distance from getting off the bus to the entrance of the hotel lobby, he met two or three groups of people who knew him and greeted him. But let Zhang Weidong was quite puzzled that the expressions of those people when greeting his second uncle were a bit unnatural, and even gave people the impression that they were in a hurry, as if they were afraid of being unable to escape. The second uncle also obviously felt this, and smiled very reluctantly. , Zhang Weidong could even see a hint of loneliness and helplessness in his eyes.
Zhang Weidong couldn't help but frown secretly, remembering what his second cousin Yang Yunli had not finished before when he came out of the elevator door.
Could it be that his second uncle had some problems in his official career? Zhang Weidong secretly guessed.
"Director Meng, good evening." Just as Zhang Weidong was secretly thinking, his second uncle Yang Changzheng suddenly strode towards the lobby door, and then greeted a middle-aged man who looked like an official standing at the lobby door. Go up and stretch out your hand.
"Old Yang, oh, Accountant Kong is here too. It's a family dinner!" The man called Director Meng just shook hands with Yang Changzheng casually, and then nodded to Aunt Zhang Weidong who was following behind.
Zhang Weidong's eldest aunt, whose surname is Kong, used to work as an accountant in the County Finance Bureau.
"Yes, my younger brother-in-law and his family came to Changhai to celebrate the New Year this year, so we took this opportunity to get together and have a lively atmosphere." Yang Changzheng smiled unnaturally when he saw that Director Meng's attitude was a bit casual and perfunctory.
"Oh, that's rare." Director Meng responded casually, but looked far away, obviously not wanting to talk to Yang Changzheng anymore.
Yang Changzheng felt Director Meng's perfunctory attitude, a flash of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his attention to the two men standing next to Director Meng.
One of the men had a tall beer belly and a fat face. When he saw Yang Chang looking towards him, he turned his head with a look of disdain. The other man, who was tall and thin, saw Yang Chang looking towards him.
It seemed to him that he subconsciously avoided his gaze.
When Yang Changzheng saw the tall and thin man avoiding his gaze, his face became obviously gloomy, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth as he said, "Xiao Guo, you are here too."
Seeing that Yang Chang was calling him Xiao Guo, the man's face clearly showed a hint of irritation, but he did not show any signs of anger and just said calmly: "Yes, Director Yang, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you are also here to eat."
The man known as Xiao Guo deliberately emphasized the word "Director Yang" when he spoke.
At this time, Zhang Weidong noticed that the faces of the Yang family seemed to be a little ugly, and Yang Yunli clenched his fists, as if he couldn't hold it in anymore, but his uncle glared at him, so he didn't have an attack on the spot.
.
It seems that this Xiao Guo must have had some trouble with his second uncle, Zhang Weidong glanced at Xiao Guo with an unkind look, thinking in his mind.
Just as Zhang Weidong was secretly guessing, and his second uncle Yang Chang was about to reply, suddenly Director Meng's eyes lit up and he took the lead in striding towards him.
A black Audi car that had just arrived came up to meet him, and the obese man named Xiao Guo also hurriedly followed, with a flattering smile on his face.
A middle-aged man in his fifties got out of the black Audi. The middle-aged man was wearing a well-dressed suit, and his neatly combed back hair looked like a Rolex on his wrist under the light.
Just like a watch, very shiny.
When the middle-aged man got out of the car, he raised his chin slightly and glanced around in a condescending manner, as if he was the master and emperor of this land.
The man who opened the car door for the middle-aged man was a man in his forties. This man had a Chinese character face and a tall and burly figure. At first glance, he looked very manly. But when he opened the car door, he had a flattering expression on his face.
The smile, and the cautious manner when he stretched his hand on the top of the car door when he opened the door, as if he was afraid that the middle-aged man's head would hit the top of the door, suddenly made his tall and burly image collapse, making him look a bit groveling.
.
"Secretary Zheng, good evening!" Director Meng stepped forward first and shook hands with the middle-aged man warmly.
"Well, good evening." The man known as Secretary Zheng nodded to Secretary Meng.
After Director Meng shook hands with Secretary Zheng and said hello, the two men following him also came up to say hello to Secretary Zheng.
Yang Chang, who was standing at the door, was watching Director Meng and others greeting Secretary Zheng. He hesitated and finally came forward to greet him. When his uncle saw this, he smiled at Zhang Weidong and others and said, "Let's go inside and wait for Chang just now."
When Zhang Weidong and others entered the hotel lobby, Yang Changzheng also walked up to Secretary Zheng. With an unnatural smile on his face, he reached out to Secretary Zheng and said hello: "Secretary Zheng, good evening."
But Secretary Zheng did not reach out, just nodded to Yang Changzheng, and then walked in with his head held high, leaving Yang Chang with his hands frozen in the air, his face changing gloomy for a while, then he sighed and turned around to go into the lobby.
Go.
The Yang family had already reserved a private room at the Weikai Hotel in advance. The group entered the lobby and reported their names to the welcoming lady, who then led everyone to the private room.
Chinese people not only pay attention to food, but also pay special attention to face and ostentation, so the better the hotel, the better the business. Blooming Hotel is the best liquor store in Changhai County, and the decoration inside is naturally very high-end. Walking there, the floor is paved
There were carpets on the floor, and the walls on both sides were glittering with golden light. They were all resplendent and luxurious, but Zhang Weidong didn't like it very much. He preferred the Mingzhuxuan next to Wuzhou University, with its quaint decoration and quiet environment. But although it wasn't
I like it very much, but Zhang Weidong can choose Weikai Hotel to entertain them from his uncle's family in such a grand manner. I feel that the Zhang and Yang families have not been together for many years. This time, my uncle's family finally put away their previous prejudices.
Maybe it's because I'm older and I've looked away, or maybe after all, blood is thicker than water, and we're thousands of miles apart. It's rare that my sister's family of three returns to Changhai after many years, but they don't want to make everyone unhappy again. Besides, even Zhang Weidong
You're already so old, what's the point of arguing with your brother-in-law anymore?
"Second cousin, who is that Director Meng? He seems to be quite impressive." Zhang Weidong followed the others as he walked in, asking Yang Yunli, whose face was obviously a little ugly.
"The director of the county party committee office in our county." Yang Yunli saw Zhang Weidong asking and replied casually.
Zhang Weidong is no longer the young boy who doesn't understand the Chinese officialdom system at all. Of course he knows that the director of the county party committee office is a member of the county party committee's standing committee and has more real power than an ordinary deputy county magistrate. Hearing this, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
: "So, that Secretary Zheng just now should be the county party committee secretary of your county?"
"Hey, I can't tell. Weidong, you know a lot about officialdom. Just by hearing that Meng Xiang'an is the director of the county party committee office, you guessed that Zheng Guangjiang is the county party committee secretary. It's not like some teachers in our school who don't even know their positions in the officialdom.
." The aunt beside her couldn't help but her eyes lit up slightly when she heard this, and she said in surprise.
Zhang Weidong smiled, the director of the County Party Committee Office is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and a serious county-level leader. Apart from the county party committee secretary and the county magistrate, who else in Changhai County can work for him and wait at the door to greet him personally?
"This society is real and complex, even in college. It is a good thing to get in touch with more people and learn more about things. Originally, I heard that Weidong graduated with a doctorate at a young age and became a teacher.
I was worried that he would only focus on learning and not hear anything outside the window, but now it seems that he is worrying too much." The eldest uncle nodded happily after hearing this.
Zhang Weidong couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing this, and thought to himself, fortunately I have changed my gender now, otherwise I would have been scolded by my uncle like before.
Just when Zhang Weidong felt ashamed, he noticed that Yang Yunli's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were staring ahead with fire.
