Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 777: If you don’t talk well, you can’t do things well!

At noon today, at Deng Meijuan's request, Liu Guangqi went to the guest house with Deng Meijuan and invited Deng's father and the leaders of his unit to have dinner together.

During the meal, Deng Meijuan asked Deng's father the reason why they came to Beijing this time. Only then did Liu Guangqi know the purpose of Deng's father and his leaders' visit to Beijing.

After learning the purpose of Deng's father's visit to Beijing, Liu Guangqi did not tell Deng's father in front of his leaders that he knew the director of the Trade Department like other young people. Instead, he waited for lunch and sent Deng's father back. After arriving at the guest house, Liu Guangqi told Deng Meijuan that Wu Aiguo was the director of the Department of Trade.

Deng Meijuan had not been married to the courtyard for a long time. Although she knew that Wu Aiguo was the leader of a unit and drove to and from get off work every day, she did not know that Wu Aiguo was the director of the Trade Department.

When Deng Meijuan learned from Liu Guangqi that Wu Aiguo was the director of the Department of Trade, she couldn't wait to drag Liu Guangqi back to the guest house and tell her father the news.

Liu Guangqi saw Deng Meijuan's actions and quickly stopped Deng Meijuan. He also told Deng Meijuan that although Wu Aiguo lived in the same compound with them, Wu Aiguo was not an ordinary leader after all. As for Deng's father's matter, whether Wu Aiguo Willingness to help is still unknown.

Under this premise, they told Deng's father the news. If Wu Aiguo was willing to help, Deng's father would naturally be able to show his face in front of the leader. If the matter failed, the leader would definitely question Deng's father's ability to work. .

Finally, under Liu Guangqi's persuasion, Deng Meijuan finally gave up the idea. The young couple returned to the courtyard. They happened to learn that Liu Haizhong was going to invite Wu Aiguo and his son to dinner, so they thought about asking Wu Aiguo to help him during the meal. .

After the meal at home was cooked, Liu Guangqi volunteered to go to the front yard to treat the Wu family and his son to a meal. As a result, he only saw Wu Pingshan, but he did not see Wu Aiguo coming back from get off work.

In order to know the news of Wu Aiguo's return as soon as possible, Liu Guangqi gave Liu Guangtian 50 cents and asked him to stay in the front yard. When Wu Aiguo came back, he went back to the backyard to report the news to him as soon as possible. This was how Wu Aiguo had just arrived home. , the scene where Liu Guangqi came to invite.

Liu Guangqi, who was about to report the news, sat back down after hearing Wu Aiguo's words, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said to Wu Aiguo happily: "Brother Aiguo! I represent Meijuan's father in this glass of wine." , thank you! I did it, it’s up to you.”

Wu Aiguo heard Liu Guangqi's words and saw the wine glass raised by the other party. He reached out to pick up the wine glass in front of him and said to Liu Guangqi with a smile: "Guangqi! You already called me brother. Besides, this is the first time you have spoken. Please help me, I must give your brother some face!"

As Wu Aiguo spoke, he drank all the wine in the glass. Then he smiled and said to Liu Haizhong and Wu Pingshan: "Dad! Second uncle! Xiaojing is still waiting for me in the hospital, so I will take the first step. I will have a chance another day." , let’s meet again!”

When Liu Guangqi heard Wu Aiguo's words, he quickly stood up from his seat and said enthusiastically to Wu Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo! Then I'll give it to you."

The couple watched Wu Aiguo drive away from the courtyard. Deng Meijuan thought of Wu Aiguo's promise and told Liu Guangqi excitedly: "Guangqi! Go home quickly and push the bicycle out. Let's go to the guest house to announce the good news to my father." ”

More than half an hour later, the young couple finally arrived at the guest house where Father Deng was staying.

Father Deng, who was playing poker with his colleagues in the room, saw his daughter and son-in-law arriving, and asked them with a puzzled expression: "Meijuan! Guangqi! Why did you two come here so late?"

"Dad! Guangqi has already helped you with your purchase application." When Deng Meijuan heard Deng's father's inquiry, she immediately told her father the good news without waiting for Liu Guangqi to answer.

When Father Deng heard what Deng Meijuan said, he had a puzzled expression on his face and asked in confusion: "Meijuan! What are you talking about? Guangqi has already helped us solve our purchase application. Could it be that you two are drunk?" Too many, you came here specially to fool me, right?"

When Deng Meijuan saw that her father did not believe her words, she immediately became anxious and complained to her father: "Dad! When have I ever deceived you when I have grown up like this?"

When Deng's father heard Deng Meijuan's complaint, he did not believe Deng Meijuan's words. Instead, he asked Deng Meijuan dissatisfiedly: "Meijuan! Even the leaders of the Ministry of Light Industry couldn't solve our purchase application. Guangqi had just worked there." He is just a clerk, why should he help us solve it?" From the day Liu Guangqi confirmed his relationship with Deng Meijuan, he knew that Deng Meijuan's family looked down on him, a son of a worker. Faced with Deng's father's questioning, Liu Guangqi said to Deng's father: "Dad! Although I am just a clerk who has just worked, the director of the Trade Department is my brother, and Brother Patriot is having dinner at my house tonight."

"Comrade Xiao Liu! What are you talking about? Director Wu of the Trade Department is your brother. Is this true?" Deng's father's immediate boss also had a skeptical attitude when he heard what Deng Meijuan said to Deng's father. , until he heard Liu Guangqi mention Wu Aiguo's name, he finally realized that Liu Guangqi was not deceiving Deng's father, and immediately asked Liu Guangqi before Deng's father could refute.

When Liu Guangqi heard the inquiry from Deng's father's boss, he nodded with certainty and replied: "Director Zhou! This is absolutely true. Brother Patriot has promised to help with this. He also said that after the next batch of procurement plans are implemented, by the way, Help you purchase some equipment and ask me to come to you for a purchase list."

When Father Deng heard that what Liu Guangqi said was true, he finally began to believe what Liu Guangqi said and quickly asked Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi! Since you know Director Wu, why didn't you tell us during lunch? ?”

Deng Meijuan saw that Liu Guangqi had helped Deng's father so much, and even if Deng's father was not grateful, he actually blamed Liu Guangqi. This made her very unhappy. Before Liu Guangqi could explain, she complained to Deng's father: " Dad! Guangqi is not worried that things have not been implemented clearly, so he did not tell you about Brother Patriot living in the same compound as us. "

"For your sake, Guangqi and his father specially invited Brother Patriot to dinner tonight, and then they helped you solve the problem. After Brother Patriot left, we rushed over to tell you the good news as soon as possible. I had known it earlier. If you do this, we won’t come.”

Director Zhou heard Deng Meijuan complaining about Deng's father and obtained a lot of useful information. The most critical one was that Wu Aiguo and Liu Guangqi were neighbors who lived in the same compound.

Thinking of the purpose of their visit to Beijing this time, Director Zhou immediately pulled up two chairs and greeted Liu Guangqi enthusiastically: "Xiao Liu! Please sit down quickly and tell us the specific process."

When Liu Guangqi heard Director Zhou's words, he did not sit down in front of the chair pulled by Director Zhou. He glanced at his father-in-law who was in a daze, and then introduced to Director Zhou: "Director Zhou! When I treat you to dinner at noon, , when you mentioned the purpose of your visit to Beijing, I actually wanted to tell you that I knew the director of the Trade Department, but I didn’t know whether what you were going to do was difficult, so I didn’t tell you immediately. "

"After all, I don't know if I can get this thing done. If I tell you in advance, if I don't get it done, you will definitely think that I am talkative and weak in my work! So after I get home, I will let My dad invited my uncle Wu and Brother Patriot to our house for dinner, and then told Brother Patriot about the purpose of my dad’s trip to Beijing to see if Brother Patriot could help.”

"Brother Aiguo saw that I had spoken, and promised to help you purchase a few pieces of equipment in the next batch of purchases by the Trade Department. Let me come to you to ask for the list. Meijuan and I waited for Brother Aiguo to leave, and we will do it as soon as possible. Come and give you a message."

"We were all planning to take the bus back to Anci County tomorrow afternoon, but we didn't expect that another village would be like this! It's really hard to find a place without even trying, and it took no effort at all!" Director Zhou heard the situation introduced by Liu Guangqi. , with an ecstatic expression on his face, and murmured happily to himself.

After hearing Director Zhou's words, Deng's father finally recovered from his sluggishness. He pulled Deng Meijuan aside, who was standing next to Liu Guangqi, and scolded Deng Meijuan dissatisfiedly: "You damn girl, why is it such an important thing? Don’t tell me in advance.”

When Deng Meijuan heard Deng's father's scolding, instead of feeling dissatisfied, she replied proudly: "Dad! You have wrongly blamed me. I have not been married to Guangqi for a long time. I only go to the Patriotic Country to watch TV every day." I only met Brother Aiguo once or twice during that time. Besides, I only knew that Brother Aiguo was the big leader, but I didn’t know that he was the director of the Trade Department!”

After hearing Deng Meijuan's explanation and seeing the proud expression on Deng Meijuan's face, Deng's father asked Deng Meijuan again: "Damn girl! After you found out Director Wu's identity at noon, why didn't you come to the guest house and ventilate me in advance? "

After learning that Wu Aiguo was the director of the Trade Department, Deng Meijuan actually wanted to tell her father the news as soon as possible. But tonight, Liu's father invited the Wu family and his son to dinner because of promotion matters. Liu Guangqi was not sure whether Wu Aiguo was willing to help, so Deng Meijuan did not tell Deng's father the news in advance.

Faced with Deng’s father’s scolding, Deng Meijuan not only did not feel guilty, but she replied matter-of-factly: “Dad! If I tell you the news at noon, you will definitely tell Uncle Zhou the news as soon as possible. If it’s done, everyone will be happy. If it’s not done, you will definitely think that our Guangqi has a hairless mouth and is not good at work?”

"In order to avoid this kind of thing happening, Guangqi and I decided to go back to find Brother Patriot after discussing it. After Brother Patriot agrees to help, we will come to you. No, as soon as Brother Patriot agrees, we will rush there overnight. coming."
