super rich

Seeing the supreme chief's approachable attitude, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more relaxed. It looked like a family gathering.

Immediately, Comrade He Xiangdong turned his eyes around everyone, and finally landed on Chen Mingyuan. He raised his eyebrows and said hesitantly, "This is... Xiao Mingyuan, right?"

The voice was very friendly, but Chen Mingyuan didn't dare to take it too seriously. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "It's me, Uncle He."

In my memory, I still vaguely remember the scene of being held in the arms of the Supreme Chief for fun when I was a child.

Comrade He Xiangdong's expression suddenly brightened, and he said with great interest: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've grown into a big guy. Come on, come closer, and show Uncle He a good look."

Chen Mingyuan moved closer, his waist straightened.

Comrade He Xiangdong sized him up for a while, and seeing Chen Mingyuan's calm and decent demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he nodded and said: "Okay, okay, you are handsome and graceful, teacher, you can be regarded as someone who will succeed you."

The old man shook his head and smiled, "He, it would be nice to let people worry less."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I watched Mingyuan grow up. He has been clever since he was a child, and now he knows how to make progress. He will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations."

Comrade He Xiangdong was obviously more interested in Chen Mingyuan. He turned his head and said with a smile, "I heard from your third uncle, have you already started working?"

Chen Mingyuan replied truthfully: "It's been two years since I graduated. I first worked at a cable station in Dongjiang Province. After the Spring Festival, I was just transferred to the Provincial Party Committee Office."

"Dongjiang Provincial Committee..."

Comrade He Xiangdong murmured softly, his eyes flickered behind the lenses, as if he was thinking.

Seeing this, Chen Guoliang hurriedly introduced: "President/Secretary, Mingyuan is working as a secretary for Comrade Ning Lizhong of the Dongjiang Provincial Party Committee, and he has been in office for more than half a year."

Comrade He Xiangdong nodded, he seemed to have understood something a long time ago, and once again showed a kind smile, he said: "It's rare, at a young age, you have already made your mark, how about it, you should get used to doing things by Comrade Lizhong's side. ?”

"Thanks to Uncle He's concern, the work in the Provincial Party Committee went smoothly. Secretary Ning is also very easy-going and tolerant. Not only did he not dislike my lack of knowledge, but he also taught me a lot of insights."

Chen Mingyuan's words were as regular as possible. Although the relationship between the two families was close, as a junior, he had very little weight in the mind of the supreme chief. When we met again after many years, the first impression was particularly important. Before thinking about it, it is better to be cautious.

Furthermore, as a member of the new ruling group that is about to rise, the relationship between Ning Lizhong and the supreme leader is still unknown. He is between two overwhelming forces, so he must think twice before doing anything.

"That's good. Young people are humble and eager to learn, so they have a better chance to make great progress."

Comrade He Xiangdong said more and more kindly, it is entirely an elder who cares about the growth of the younger generation, "And Comrade Lizhong is indeed a very good cadre. He served in the capital ministries and commissions back then, and his reputation and reputation were very good. You have the opportunity to work with him. When doing things under your command, you should clarify yourself and forge ahead."

Chen Mingyuan solemnly said: "Thank you Uncle He for your teaching, I will definitely do things down-to-earth, and strive to meet the requirements of you and grandpa as soon as possible."

"That's right, young and prudent, well-founded, it really does not insult the prestige of the teacher's family."

Comrade He Xiangdong smiled and nodded. Obviously, Chen Mingyuan's humility and courtesy made him quite satisfied, at least he seemed quite satisfied.

Chen Guoliang and Yang Xiuning were also overjoyed. No matter how many impression points Chen Mingyuan got from the supreme chief, but judging from the situation, the third generation of the Chen family finally entered the vision of the supreme chief. It will be of great benefit to his career development, and it will also bring great benefits to the family!

After all, the supreme leader's care of the family now largely depends on the old man, but to put it bluntly, it is not known how much this friendship can be maintained when the old man goes west.

On the contrary, if Chen Mingyuan is recognized by the supreme chief as a talent that can be made, he will pay attention to it and even cultivate it emotionally and rationally, then the continuation of the family's power will also add a heavy bargaining chip!

After chatting for a while, at the invitation of everyone, the supreme chief and the old man both walked into the back hall for dinner.

The dishes are rich and delicious, and everyone is in a happy mood. The atmosphere during the banquet can be described as happy and harmonious. In the twilight years, it is especially rare.

The dinner party lasted until after seven o'clock, and it was already mid-moon outside at this moment.

It was rare to come back, the supreme chief and the old man had some things to say, so they went to the study, and after the rest of the people cleaned up, they sat in the yard and chatted, while admiring the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family gathered together, put aside The turmoil of work and career made it rare to enjoy the joy of family affection.

"Mingyuan, come in and help me count the gifts together."

After sitting for a while, Yang Xiuning suddenly stood up and called his son to the inner room.

Chen Mingyuan nodded and followed her back to the hall.

Although there were very few guests celebrating the birthday, in order to show their sincerity, many dignitaries sent congratulatory gifts, which were piled up in the corner of the hall.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Xiuning is well aware of the rules, and records all the gifts in a register, accepting those that are suitable, and returning those that are not suitable.

Don't underestimate the technical content of this task. In addition to being careful and sharp-eyed, it also requires a sophisticated understanding of the world. In a family like the Chen family, there is no room for mistakes.

Seeing his mother counting the congratulatory gifts in an orderly manner, Chen Mingyuan smiled and said, "Mom, thank you for being so careful and patient. If it were me, I would have been dizzy."

Yang Xiuning shook his head and said: "Mom also learned it little by little. When she first took over these affairs, she made many mistakes. Every time, your grandpa and grandma would say a few words. After decades, no matter how stupid you are, practice makes perfect."

Chen Mingyuan was suddenly dumbfounded, thinking of how much hardship his mother suffered from being ignored when she first entered the house, and now finally growing into a qualified daughter-in-law of the family.

Yang Xiuning seemed to be aware of it, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, are you still thinking about those troubles? The most important thing in life is contentment and happiness. Now our family can live in harmony and peace, even if we are tired in the past It's all worth it now."

"Especially you, watching you become mature and sensible step by step, you have already earned enough face for your mother. Didn't you see that the highest chief just kept praising you? What you have to do is to grasp the current scheming and stand out as soon as possible. "

Chen Mingyuan nodded resolutely.

Yang Xiuning smiled gratifiedly, and then with a flash of eyes, he said: "Besides, if you really sympathize with Mom's hard work, you should find a generous and sensible daughter-in-law to share my worries for me, and then spread the branches and leaves for our family earlier." , Let mother hug her grandson."

Chen Mingyuan hesitated and said, "Mom, haven't you seen her?"

"You mean the girl named Xia Yuan?"

Yang Xiuning continued to count the congratulatory gifts, and said calmly: "I see, I have seen it before. She is indeed beautiful and very polite. You are too. You don't know how to tell Mom when you have a girlfriend."

Although Yang Xiuning's tone was relaxed, Chen Mingyuan's heart sank suddenly. Knowing that he had a girlfriend, his mother urged him to find someone. Most likely, it was because he was not satisfied with Yin Xiayuan.

"Mom, what's your opinion?"

"Mom's opinion is second. The key depends on your own opinion. Do you really like her?"

Seeing his son nodding, Yang Xiuning laughed and said, "Ming Yuan, this is your first love, so mother shouldn't stop you, but some things are not as simple as you think, you say you like her, but you really love her?" Are you sure you will go to the end with her?"

Chen Mingyuan frowned and said nothing. He wanted to make a detour and ask his mother to intercede in front of the old man, but he didn't expect to hit a soft nail on his mother first.

"Don't complain, Mom was young too, so I know what you guys think."

Yang Xiuning explained: "That girl, I have done some research, let's put aside the family background and the like, after all, my marriage with your father was very mismatched back then, but it's not like I made it through , the only thing I worry about is the price you have to pay for accommodating each other. Maybe your relationship is very good now, but have you ever thought about it? The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, can we guarantee that we will always love each other as before?"

Chen Mingyuan responded silently. Although he was somewhat conflicted, he had to admit that his mother was right. It was precisely because she had personally experienced the sacrifices made by integrating into the family that she took reservations about her feelings.

Yang Xiuning explained: "But don't worry, at least Mom won't be that queen mother who beats mandarin ducks. If you really decide to be with her, then you can put aside these worries, and Mom will take care of the rest. You took care of it."

Chen Mingyuan glanced at Chen Guoliang in the courtyard, and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid Third Uncle and the others will have a hard time passing it."

Yang Xiuning nodded: "It will be more troublesome, especially if you have received a different opinion from the chief executive today, and the family's expectations of you will only be greater in the future. I'm not sure about your third uncle's political stance, but it's about He definitely puts the interests of the family first, and your marriage is also related to the interests of the family, so he and the old man will have the biggest opinions on this point."

Chen Mingyuan sighed. Although he knew that what should come would always come, but when he really had to face it, it was so difficult. If he wanted to blame it, he could only blame himself for being fledgling and not being able to fully determine his future.

Yang Xiuning took his hand and said comfortingly: "Listen to Mom, don't be in a hurry for now, you can calmly think about how to go, what you want to do now is to make political progress, wait for you to talk about it at our house Talk about it, and the problem of your little girlfriend is no longer a problem."

Chen Mingyuan nodded slightly.
