Power career

Power career - Chapter [-]: A visitor

Chapter [-]: A visitor

Song Yinghong didn't tell the truth to Lu Yan, it's not deceiving him, it can only be said that she was a little selfish, she didn't want to expose everything about herself to Lu Yan, but selfishness is one of human nature .

After separating from Song Yinghong and returning home, Lu Yan found that the house was full of chatter and many guests came.

These guests seemed relatively unfamiliar, but there were a few of them who were familiar. If they haven't returned at such a late hour, they must be waiting for Lu Yan.

Mother Xia Qiu and Lin Xiaoyun were both sitting in the living room talking with the guests. Tongtong was running around in the living room. When she saw her father coming back, she opened her mouth and called: "Daddy", then ran over and threw herself into Lu Yan's arms .

Xia Qiu stood up and said, "You're back."

Lu Yan said with a smile: "It's very lively at home." The mother and son were talking nonsense, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding. Xia Qiu knew that Lu Yan didn't know these guests, so he took the conversation and said: "These guests are all from our family. relative."

relative?In Lu Yan's impression, it seemed that the word "relative" hadn't appeared for a long time, and even family members rarely visited.When father Lu Xiaodong was alive, there were often guests at home, and the seven aunts and eight aunts always came to beg Lu Xiaodong for errands.But since Lu Xiaodong's death, he has basically lost contact with those relatives. Lu Yan can't imagine when there will be relatives in the family again?

Lu Yan didn't know that he is now a rising star in the eyes of others, and a department-level cadre who is less than 30 years old must have a bright future.However, Lu Xiaodong was not promoted to the director level until he was 40 years old. In the officialdom, the age advantage is very important. From the perspective of potential value, Lu Yan has far more potential value than Lu Xiaodong.

At this time, Xia Qiu pointed to the people who came and introduced to Lu Yan one by one: "This is your third uncle and his child, this is your fourth aunt and his wife, this is your first aunt's family, they all live in Huangling City, this time it is rare to come to Wucheng City."

Whenever Xia Qiu introduced someone, Lu Yan hurried forward to say hello. With Xia Qiu's introduction, the floodgate of his memory opened with a bang.Yes, these people are relatives of my mother. Although they are aunts and uncles, they are not immediate family members. That is to say, they are not the same father and mother as Xia Qiu, but cousins ​​of their mother Xia Qiu. Relatives, those who belong to the same ancestry.

Lu Yan is also a smart person. When he saw these relatives whom he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly come to the house, he immediately understood that their arrival had something to do with his promotion.

Speaking of which, Lu Yan is now considered a celebrity. Aside from the glorious scenery in the Economic and Technological Development Zone of Sidaogou Town, even after the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he has not returned to peace.Especially after pulling down the state power at the main hall level, many cadres greeted him enthusiastically when they saw him, and many officials rushed to get to know him.

However, those who can know Lu Yan are basically people with a certain status. This is not because of Lu Yan's snobbery, but those who have lower positions and no social connections. Even if they want to know Lu Yan, they can't find them. to the doorway.These things can be regarded as accessories brought about by the official career. Everyone has several relatives and friends. The classmates and old friends who have been experienced since childhood are wealth in life, and sometimes they will become personal burdens.

Lu Yan's third uncle works in the Transportation Bureau of Huangling City. He is now a small cadre at the official level. He is more flexible and has some social experience. Now that you have a child, we didn't receive a notice when you got married, and we didn't come to congratulate you. As for relatives, you just need to communicate with each other. If you don't see each other for a long time, you will gradually become estranged."

Lu Yan laughed, but thought in his heart, it's not that I don't hang out with you, it's that you stopped coming after Dad died.We can't bother you with a straight face.

Thinking this way in his heart, he said: "Yes, yes, third uncle, sit down, by the way, have you eaten yet?"

"We all ate, you are very busy with work." The third uncle asked after sitting down.

Lu Yan said with a smile: "I've been busy all day, I'm not busy with anything serious." He thought about what happened when he met Song Yinghong just now.It is indeed not a serious matter, but it is an unavoidable problem, and it is also a physical and spiritual need.

However, his words sounded like humble words to relatives.It is impossible for a cadre at the top level to not be busy. Not busy means that he has fallen out of favor in the eyes of the leaders and has been deprived of the power in his hands.Being busy is the symbol of an official's style and glory. Only when you are busy, you should be too busy.

Lin Xiaoyun seldom heard Lu Yan talk about eating. When Lu Yan got busy, it was common for him to miss meals.At this time, when Lu Yan asked about the meal, he immediately asked with a tacit understanding: "Did you not eat?"

"I just came out of the office, I haven't had time to eat yet." Lu Yan said.

Lu Yan's aunt hurriedly said at this time: "Then you go to eat first, it's already eight o'clock, are you starving? It's so pitiful, I don't care about my body when I'm busy with work."

Lu Yan shivered in his heart, poor?It seems to be a little bit, the small head below is fed, but the big head above is hungry.

Lin Xiaoyun said to her relatives, "I'm sorry." Then she went to the kitchen to warm up dishes and rice.After finishing three dishes in a short while, he opened the kitchen door and shouted, "Ah Yan, it's time to eat."

Lu Yan said to the third uncle and the others: "Are you all hungry? Let's go eat some together."

"No, no, you go to eat, don't worry about us, we only come after eating." The third uncle and others hastily declined.

When Lu Yan was eating in the kitchen, Lin Xiaoyun quietly said beside him: "It's the first time I've seen so many relatives come to your house, obviously they are here to curry favor with you, is this a sign of your success? What kind of sign?"

Lu Yan said with a smile: "I've never thought about this question. In fact, my greatest achievement is marrying you."

Lin Xiaoyun became happy and said, "Is your mouth so sweet today? Did you do something bad?"

Lu Yan was taken aback, but when he saw the casual expression in Lin Xiaoyun's eyes, he immediately realized that this was Lin Xiaoyun's unintentional words.Immediately said: "What, this is my sincere words. Since I married you, my official career has been smooth sailing and my career has been successful. More than half of the credit is due to you. If you didn't let me have no worries, I would not be able to achieve what I am now. achievements."

Seeing his sincerity, Lin Xiaoyun was very moved, and said, "Actually, don't be too confident. I just don't have much self-motivation, so I'm still the chief staff member. If I work harder, I'm probably better than you." Not much difference. You don’t look at those classmates with me, some of them are cadres at the deputy director level.”

Lin Xiaoyun did not say that there are still cadres at the senior level. In fact, she is the same age as Lu Yan, and Lu Yan can be regarded as the fastest promoted among them. Level, it is considered a different kind, the speed of promotion is as fast as riding a rocket.The officialdom is like a battlefield. A group of people will fall before every change of position, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is. Many people fall under the threshold of the director level and the deputy director level, and never get up again.

I remembered that among the more than 100 people who were admitted to the civil service together with Lu Yan and Lin Xiaoyun, only Lu Yan has the highest position now.When they signed up for the civil service exam together, the elimination rate was 340:1. After passing the exam, in a few years, each continued to widen the distance with their abilities and opportunities. , or hang around.Only those who are dragons and phoenixes will stand out.

To say thanks, Lu Yan should really be grateful for that "expansion plan". It was in that expansion plan that Lu Yan entered the sight of Xu Richeng, secretary of the provincial party committee, and got Qian Yun, the current secretary of the provincial party committee and the former governor. Chang's appreciation.Even now, when Qian Yunchang, secretary of the provincial party committee, sees Lu Yan on his way to and from get off work, he will stop for a while and say a few words to him. These are the capitals that Lu Yan is most proud of.
