The officialdom of rebirth

When it was almost 07:30, Chen Yang, who didn't wait for Ruonan, finally came to the home of Liu Haitian, the head of the National Development and Reform Commission, in the logistics compound of the ministry.

Although Director Liu's home is not a mansion such as a small western-style building or villa, but given his level, the housing standard is naturally not much lower. There is a large suite of more than 200 square meters, and he lives on the first floor. There is a small garden, Liu Hongjun doesn't come back often, and there are usually only him and his wife plus a nanny at home, which seems very deserted.

Chen Yang rang the doorbell of the lower courtyard outside, and soon the iron gate opened, but it was not Liu's nanny who opened the door for him, but Liu Hongbing, the boy who was ordered by Chen Yang to go home on time earlier.

"Hey, I said Brother Yang, I'm looking forward to your old man coming. You only arrived at this hour. If I had known, I would not have returned so early."

With a flattering smile on his face, Liu Hongbing opened the iron door. Like Chen Yang's little follower, he reached out and took Chen Yang's handbag naturally, but the words he muttered were obviously a little depressed.It's no wonder that this kid usually has a good time outside, and rarely shows his face at home for ten and a half months. When he comes home for dinner suddenly, he will inevitably be called to the study by the old man to teach him a lesson.

Of course Chen Yang could understand the grievance in his words, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, is it so much nonsense to ask you to go home and have a meal with your parents?"

Liu Hongbing followed Chen Yang and explained with a full face of grievance: "Brother Yang, it's not that you don't know my old man, and you can't fix me if you get a chance..."

"Hehe. That's enough, you kid, stop talking nonsense with me, let's go."

Chen Yang interrupted the kid's full of complaints with a smile, and walked quickly towards the house.

After entering the house, Liu Haitian, who was originally sitting in the living room drinking tea, stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yang, here we come."

Chen Yang rushed over quickly and shook hands with Liu Haitian: "Hehe, Uncle Liu, why are you being so polite to me?"

That being said.But in fact, he also understands in his heart.With the gradual improvement of his political status, perhaps he still regards Liu Haitian as the uncle Liu who watched him grow up in his heart, but Liu Haitian will not really treat him as a nephew and junior. There is a gap in the relationship.It's a very subtle political feeling.

Liu Haitian's wife, Qin Qing, who works in the Education Committee, also stopped what she was doing.came out of the kitchen.Seeing this, Chen Yang hurriedly greeted him: "Teacher Qin."

Qin Qing worked as a teacher in school for more than ten years before joining the ministry. She was also Chen Yang's class teacher in middle school, so Chen Yang always called her Teacher Qin.

And Qin Qing was wiping the apron tied around his waist with both hands.Cheerfully said: "Hehe, Xiao Yang, sit down quickly, we can have dinner after you chat with Lao Liu for a while."

Chen Yang hurriedly said politely: "Teacher Qin, don't be too busy, I'm not a guest."

"Hehe, I'm not busy. You, it's been a while since I've had dinner at home. If I don't cook myself, Lao Liu doesn't know what to say about me." Qin Qing replied with a smile.

"Mom, you are really good, haven't I been home for a long time?" Liu Hongbing, who was still carrying the bag for Chen Yang, muttered.

"Shut up, you brat!" Qin Qing glared at her son and complained, "You still have the nerve to say it, if I hadn't asked your father to call Xiao Yang to tell you to go home, would you come back obediently? "

Liu Haitian also reprimanded with a straight face: "Liu Hongbing, I warn you, don't think that I don't know about the shitty things you did outside, you boy..."

Liu Hongbing was sweating like a waterfall, and quickly cut off the old man's words, "All right, Dad, I know I was wrong, please stop scolding me, okay?" While talking, he hurriedly put his arms around his mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, Brother Yang! Also entered the house, I will go to the kitchen to help you."

Seeing the mother and son going to the kitchen affectionately, Liu Haitian still cursed a little perplexedly: "Hmph, this brat will ruin my reputation sooner or later!"

Chen Yang was no stranger to the scene of Liu Haitian scolding his son for a long time, so he smiled and persuaded him: "Hehe, Uncle Liu, the Red Soldier is actually not as bad as you said, I think he is quite sensible, you , relax, the Red Soldier won't embarrass you."

The scolding is all scolding, but Liu Haitian also knows that Chen Yang paved the way for his son to start a company outside. With Chen Yang watching, he feels at ease to tell the truth in his heart, at least the general principle and direction can't be wrong, it's just these few days From time to time during the year, he could see the gossip between his son and a certain actress in the newspaper, which made him, after all, this kid is not young, he just hangs out all day and doesn't know how to make a family, so he just saw his son. Just scold once back.And this time he called Chen Yang to come to his house for dinner. Apart from having some things to discuss in private, he hoped that Chen Yang would put pressure on his son to get married and start a family as soon as possible.He is very clear that although Liu Hongbing is often scolded in front of him, he dare not say a word, but he often forgets all about it when he leaves home, but the brat Chen Yang has always dared not listen to what he said. of.

Chen Yang knew this well, and after a few words of persuasion with a smile, he sat on the sofa with Liu Haitian and chatted.

Both of them are high-level cadres in the field of high-rise buildings, and the content of their chats is naturally related to superstructure-related topics, especially the upcoming two sessions are one of the main contents of their chats.

Because today is a family banquet, and Mrs. Liu is the chef, the nanny sent away, so there is no one idle, the living room is very quiet, and the two of them did not have many taboos when talking, and many of the conversations involved some sensitive things The problem, and what is different from a few years ago is that now Chen Yang can already express his views and opinions on these sensitive topics outspokenly, and often some of the views he puts forward will even affect Liu Hai. Some thoughts on the current situation.

As one of the core members of the Chen Clan, Liu Haitian could of course hear that Chen Yang actually came to seek him on certain issues, or simply said that it was the Chen Clan's full support.In this regard, he did not say some high-sounding and ambiguous opinions in front of outsiders, but gave his own response very bluntly.

Of course, he is very clear that Chen Yang is now the representative figure of the Chen family in the domestic political arena in the next ten years, or even 20 years. Some of Chen Yang's views and opinions often directly represent Therefore, even though he may not agree with some issues, from the outside world's point of view.It is still necessary to keep pace with Chen Yang.

Unconsciously.The two chatted for nearly an hour, but they were still very interested in the conversation, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Hongbing, who were busy in the kitchen, naturally did not come out to disturb their conversation.

"Hehe, Xiao Yang. Some of your opinions are good. There is no problem with the direction. I don't care about my old bones. I guess I will regress after finishing this class, but I am worried. After all, the pace is still the same. It’s a bit older, I’m afraid there will still be many old comrades who don’t necessarily agree with it.”

Liu Haitian finally stated his position clearly, but he still reminded Chen Yang with a worried face. After all, some ideas raised by Chen Yang in the conversation just now will undoubtedly hurt some vested interests, especially some of the in-depth reforms of large state-owned enterprises. It is even more likely that Chen Yang and the Chen family behind him will be pushed to the forefront of public opinion for a period of time in the future. Before the central government has a final conclusion on this, it will undoubtedly take a lot of political risk to make the first attempt. risk.

"Some things still need to be mentioned and done." Chen Yang smiled and looked at Liu Haitian.

Although Chen Yang looked normal, Liu Haitian could still clearly see the firmness in his eyes.

Liu Haitian didn't say anything else, just nodded lightly, and said: "Okay, I will ask the Ministry to come up with a specific plan for this aspect as soon as possible, and there should be enough time."

Chen Yang's heart warmed when he heard the words, but he still refused flatly: "No, Uncle Liu, let's wait until the two sessions are over."

Obviously, he does not intend to let Liu Haitian take political risks for himself.

Liu Haitian said with a smile: "You, you, Uncle Liu, are not allowed to make some political achievements?"

Chen Yang said with a chuckle: "Uncle Liu, just do as I said, if it doesn't work, I might have to ask you later."

Liu Haitian didn't force it, because he knew that since Chen Yang made the decision, he must have thought it through carefully, so he said: "Well, I am familiar with the two comrades Guo An and Man Ping. Let me introduce you, and you can find time to sit down and have a good chat."

Liu Haitian mentioned that Guo An and Man Ping were the leaders of the party newspaper and the party magazine respectively, and the implication was naturally that he wanted to help Chen Yang find some heavyweight gunmen.

In this regard, although Chen Yang also has his own way, he is not polite. After all, since Liu Haitian brought it up, these two comrades are obviously also generals of the Chen family. There must be more and more calls, so I responded with a smile: "Hehe, that's fine, I will wait for your notice with peace of mind."

Liu Haitian looked at his watch, the time was almost [-]:[-], it would be a supper if he didn't eat any more, and the business talk was almost over, especially since he could hear Chen Yang's words from the conversation with Chen Yang Growing up, this made him especially happy and gratified, so he got up with a smile and said: "Hehe, let's go, let's have dinner, if you let that girl Ruonan know that you have come to my house at this point and haven't eaten, turn around then Maybe the girl will be sued by Mr. Li."

"Uncle Liu, why are you always talking about her?"

Chen Yang smiled wryly and helplessly. He had nothing to do with Liu Haitian's teasing. Thinking about his marriage with Ruonan, Uncle Liu didn't play any positive role. Basically, every time he saw Li Duanyu, he asked why the two juniors didn't agree. Hurry up and get things done, and it can be said that he and Chen Yang's adoptive mother Li Duanyu sang together, which made Chen Yang very passive before.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the dining table was already full of home-cooked dishes. When Madam Liu saw that the two had finally finished talking about business, she greeted Chen Yang to sit down quickly, but at the end she did not forget to complain to Liu Haitian: "Old Liu You are also serious, if there is anything you can’t talk about after dinner, you are not hungry, I see Xiao Yang is already hungry, but you have not stopped chatting with Xiao Yang, Gang Ruonan even called me, Let me tell you to stop."

Chen Yang was in a cold sweat when he heard that Ruonan was a pretty good girl. He waited for her not to come back for a long time at home, and said that he had something to do with Lin Yu, but later he was free to worry about it.

Liu Haitian has always been afraid of guilt.He laughed and apologized to his wife. After sitting down, he squinted and saw Liu Hongbing, who was fiddling with his mobile phone and sending text messages. Do you want me to help you fill it?"

"Hey, hey, you old man sit at ease, I'll go, I'll go!"

Only then did Liu Hongbing remember that the nanny was on vacation today.Was scolded by the old man.He hurriedly got up to serve the meal.At this time, Mrs. Liu also hurried to bring out some hot dishes that were kept warm.

Soon, the food was served, Liu Haitian was very excited, and asked Liu Hongbing to go to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of Moutai that he had hidden for more than 20 years.After opening.The dining room is filled with a strong aroma of wine.

"Hehe. Dad, Brother Yang, you sit down. I'll give you both."

Liu Hongbing poured wine for the two to please them, but he didn't forget to fill a big glass for himself at the end.

"Xiao Bing, don't drive back after drinking, stay at home tonight." Mrs. Liu reminded her to plan ahead.

"It's okay, scold, I'll call the driver to pick it up in a while."

Liu Hongbing replied indifferently.

"Hmph, this brat, he knows how to mess around outside all day long, and he can't stay at home for the first day." Liu Haitian said.

Liu Hongbing quickly looked at Chen Yang with an aggrieved face.

Chen Yang shook his head with a smile, and said, "Hehe, Uncle Liu, the Red Soldier is still young, understandable." Then he raised his glass, "Come, Uncle Liu, I respect you!"

Only then did Liu Haitian let his son go, and raised his glass to touch Chen Yang lightly.

Although it was a family banquet, Mrs. Liu's craftsmanship was very good, and several dishes were cooked with great taste, which made Chen Yang, who was used to eating in big hotels, so hungry that he could eat a meal with fine wine. The host and guest enjoyed themselves.

When he was almost finished eating, Liu Haitian suddenly put down his chopsticks, glanced at Liu Hongbing who was sipping his wine, and said solemnly: "Hongbing, after dinner, you go to the compound of the military region. I have agreed with Lao Geng, His daughter just came back from New York tonight, and she probably finished her dinner too, by the way, remember to buy gifts for her when she goes, do you hear me, brat?"

As soon as Liu Haitian finished speaking, Liu Hongbing's face turned green with fright, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand. He bared his teeth and said in surprise, "Dad, what are you talking about? That girl from old man Geng's house?"

Not only was Liu Hongbing stunned, but even Chen Yang, who was sitting next to him, almost spit out his wine when he heard the words Old Geng from the military region.It's no wonder that Chen Yang is very familiar with the compound of the military region. He has seen this daughter of the old Geng's family a long time ago. I won't mention what this child looks like. She was a super wild boy when she was young. The key He even gave birth to a pair of ugly cross-eyed eyes. How should I put it? In short, his looks are very unreliable. Although the child went abroad to study when he was eleven or twelve years old, even if he is a female college student, he must have some changes. How about some music?

Just such a master?No matter how well-matched the conditions are, no matter how politically married, Uncle Liu can't really think about it for his son, can he?

It has to be said that at this moment, apart from silently sighing for Liu Hongbing, Chen Yang secretly rejoiced that his luck had just exploded.

Liu Hongbing was so frightened that he wanted to get up and run away, but under Liu Haitian's yell, he could only bite the bullet and sat down again, begging desperately: "Dad, let's forget this, don't worry, I'll find you a daughter-in-law right away, definitely not more than three days later." As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yang for help, obviously hoping that Brother Yang could help to say something so that Liu Haitian could return quickly This ridiculous marriage.

Chen Yang turned his gaze, pretending he didn't see it.No way, he can't help you with this kind of thing. It's not like your old man didn't arrange similar blind dates for you before. Who told you to always pick and choose, now it's good, pick and choose Did you go pick Commander Geng's house?

"Hmph, what's the point, Lao Geng and I have already made a decision about the two of you. Tonight, your task is to visit the door first. When I have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will have dinner with Lao Geng and his family." After a meal, you can get the certificate without any major problems."

Liu Haitian completely ignored his son's protest, and set his son's life in a few words.

"Dad, I can listen to you on anything else, but what era is it now? Why are you still engaging in feudal society? Anyway, no matter what, I will never follow this matter!" Liu Hongbing got up angrily Said, it is rare to stand up in front of the old man.

It's a pity that Liu Haitian didn't even pay attention, but turned his head to Chen Yang and said to Chen Yang: "Xiao Yang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a while, you have to help me keep an eye on this kid .”

Although Chen Yang was very happy in the dark, but he really couldn't bear to push Liu Hongbing into the fire pit with his own hands, so he shied away and said: "Uncle Liu, this, this is not appropriate? Besides, I have agreed with Ruonan, I will eat from you After dinner, go home and rest."

Liu Haitian smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will say hello to Ruonan." Then he changed his expression of grief, held Chen Yang's hand and shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Yang, what is this?" This time, you must help me keep an eye on the matter and make sure it is done properly. Whether your Uncle Liu can hold a grandson next year depends entirely on you."

"Uncle Liu, look at what you said, this..."

Chen Yang looked helpless, but it was hard to get rid of it, but he still couldn't help cursing inwardly, Uncle Liu, the old fox, probably planned to let me do this. Call home for dinner.

Although Chen Yang didn't really want to be the patriarch of this feudal patriarch, but Liu Haitian talked about it, he finally agreed reluctantly, and led the reluctant Liu Hongbing away from Liu Hai. yard. (To be continued..)
