Chapter 1631 Special Family Banquet

On Sunday night, the garden of Duan Yun’s villa was covered with colorful lights. On the dining table under the grape arbor in the center of the garden, a brand-new silk tablecloth was spread, and all kinds of fruits and flowers were placed on it, which looked very grand.

Usually, the Duan Yun's family never had such a grand meal. It was only when receiving distinguished guests that they would arrange it so carefully. This shows that the Duan family attached great importance to Wu Zhenglong's arrival this time.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Duan Yun's mother, Gao Xiuzhi, had already started thinking about how to marry her daughter off after she embraced her grandson.

Logically speaking, Duan Fang is beautiful, well-educated, well-educated and smart, so she doesn't need her family to worry about her marriage, but in fact, Duan Fang's marriage has become a serious problem for the Duan family.

The main reason for this is that the Duan family is too famous and rich. Chinese people pay attention to a well-matched family when marrying a daughter, and they must climb high. But the current situation is that there are not many families in China that are richer than the Duan family. Even if there are, the children are already married, even if the standard is lowered, there are very few who meet the conditions, so that because of Duan Fang's marriage, Gao Xiuzhi's hair turned gray again.

However, as time went on, the Duan family became more open about Duan Fangfang's marriage. Since they couldn't find a good match, as long as Duan Fang liked her, and the other party had a clean family background, then this matter could be discussed.

And after learning that Duan Fang had fallen in love with his classmate Wu Zhenglong freely, the Duan family had acquiesced in this matter, and Gao Xiuzhi also liked Wu Zhenglong very much. The reason is also very simple, because Wu Zhenglong and himself The daughter is a college classmate, and they are all the sons of heaven, and Wu Zhenglong is now working in BJ, and has already won a solid job and become a national cadre, which makes Gao Xiuzhi even more happy.

Because in the eyes of the older generation, the iron rice bowl of state cadres is quite popular. On the contrary, although those businessmen are rich, they belong to the three schools and nine streams and are not safe. Therefore, no matter how rich they are, they are not recognized by the old people. On the contrary, Wu Zhenglong Such a national cadre with a salary of only 300 yuan or [-] yuan a month is loved by everyone, and he still works in the BJ department. It is definitely a matter of inside and outside to let him be his son-in-law.

So this time when Wu Zhenglong came, Gao Xiuzhi was also very happy. Although the Duan family now had full-time chefs, all of whom were chefs at the Guangzhou Hotel in the past, Gao Xiuzhi still went to the battle in person and cooked two meat dishes.

"Auntie, I didn't buy too many things when I came here. These are some local products from our hometown in Jiangsu. You should always try it..." When he came to Duan Yun's house and saw Gao Xiuzhi walking towards him, Wu Zhenglong was immediately overwhelmed. He handed over the things with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Wu, come as soon as you say you want, what else do you bring?" At this moment, Gao Xiuzhi smiled from ear to ear, only to hear her continue: "From now on, you will treat this place as your own home. Come whenever you want, our house doesn't lack anything, so don't be polite!"

"How embarrassing..." Wu Zhenglong said hastily upon hearing the words.

This is Wu Zhenglong's second visit to Duan Yun's house. Last time, he was shocked by Duan Yun's luxurious residence and decoration, but this time, he was moved by the enthusiasm of Duan's family.

Although in Gao Xiuzhi's view, Wu Zhenglong is a college student and a cadre of the state department in the capital, his future is limitless, but Wu Zhenglong feels that the Duan family is too rich, and he is completely high-ranking, so that he can't help but have A little inferiority complex.

"Sit in the courtyard. The weather has been cool recently, and the meals are ready." Duan Yun also said to Wu Zhenglong at this time.

"Thank you Duan!" Wu Zhenglong said gratefully.

Wu Zhenglong was grateful to Duan Yun from the bottom of his heart. It would be impossible for him and Duan Fang to come to this day without Duan Yun's consent. After all, Duan Yun is now the backbone of the Duan family. Fang didn't even have the chance to meet.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Didn't my mother let you sit in the yard? The whole family is waiting for you to have dinner."

When Duan Fang saw Wu Zhenglong, his eyes were a little sweet, and he said something casually.

Today's Duan Fang is also different from his usual clear and watery appearance. He has carefully dressed up, painted eyelashes, put on a light lipstick, and is wearing a cool and fashionable dress. He looks tall and beautiful, so that Wu Zhenglong saw After seeing her sweetheart, her eyes froze for a moment.

"Ah, Auntie sit first, brother Duan." Wu Zhenglong said repeatedly after recovering.

After they all sat down, Cheng Qingyan also led the child over, greeted Wu Zhenglong with a smile, and sat next to Duan Yun with the child.

Although Cheng Qingyan still looks down on Wu Zhenglong, a small cadre who eats from the system, and thinks that this young man is not worthy of Duan Fang, and the financial resources of the two families are also very different, but she will definitely not say this in front of everyone. On the surface, he was very polite to Wu Zhenglong.

"Isn't it busy these days?" After everyone sat down, Duan Yun asked Wu Zhenglong with concern.

"Fortunately, this time I came to Shenzhen for inspection, the time was tight and the task was heavy. I held 5 meetings in two days. I am mainly responsible for sorting out the materials of the leader's speech. To put it bluntly, I am running errands for the leader..."

"It's not easy to be a secretary in the general office of the Electronic Machinery Department. You are dealing with important national affairs, so you can't make any mistakes..." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Yeah, either don't make mistakes, or make mistakes is a big deal. My head is tense every day, and I dare not relax for a moment." Wu Zhenglong showed a bitter look on his face, and then said: "Come with me in the industry. A few alumni who work in the Ministry, they have a cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes every day, and most of the time they sit in the office and read newspapers. I am naturally busy, and there is nothing I can do about it..."

"This still shows that the leader trusts you and values ​​you. This is a good thing." Duan Yun said.

"That's right, the leaders of their ministry take Zhenglong seriously, and they take him with them wherever they go on business, which is not the case for ordinary people." Duan Fang also interjected at this time, with a bit of pride on his face.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think of our Xiaofang?" Gao Xiuzhi suddenly asked Wu Zhenglong at this time.

"This..." Wu Zhenglong never expected that Gao Xiuzhi would ask him such a straightforward question in front of everyone, and he felt embarrassed for a while.

"Mom, let's eat first, and talk about other things later." Seeing this, Duan Fang said quickly with a blush on her face.

"The two of you are both old and young, so what's so embarrassing about this? Besides, you two have been together for so long, I think some things should be settled..." Gao Xiuzhi said.
