super rich

Compared with the Jiangnan area, Yanjing in June is still relatively cool. Chen Mingyuan woke up early in the morning, looked at the rising sun on the horizon, and thought of the fog that covered the sky a few years later, feeling a little bit emotional.

After washing up, Wei Rongrong knocked on the door on time, said hello, and invited Chen Mingyuan to the restaurant for dinner.

When I came to the restaurant and just sat down, the waiter came in with a steaming tray. Wei Rongrong smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, even though you have been in Ruining for so long, you must have never tasted this."

Looking at the fresh and delicate chaos in the porcelain bowl on the tray, Chen Mingyuan laughed, "It's been a long time since I ate."

Big bone soup and small wontons are traditional snacks in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Wenhai area, you can often see hawkers carrying them on their shoulders or pushing them along the street. Whether they carry them on their shoulders or push them on a cart, there must be two cabinets.A cabinet is equipped with a stove, and a round belly pot is placed on it. A few pork leg bones are boiled in the pot. The boiling water is tumbling, and the color of the soup gradually turns from milky white to clear. It can wake up the gluttons in the stomachs of diners.The other cabinet is divided into several compartments, one compartment is filled with various seasonings: diced shallots, sesame oil, fresh chili powder, salt, monosodium glutamate; one compartment is filled with a small pot full of meat stuffing, and a large plate of wonton wrappers; the other compartment is completely washed white porcelain bowl; in the remaining large grid, there are several thermos bottles and a small pot.

As soon as the diners arrive, the hawker stops the load or cart and asks how much the small wontons are. While chatting with you, he fetches the wonton wrappers and spreads them in the palm of his left hand. With his right hand, he uses a wooden spoon to scrape the wonton wrappers from the meat filling. With a swipe and a shake of his left hand, a small wonton flew into the empty bowl in front of him.In a few words, the empty bowl was full. The peddler removed the round belly pot, replaced it with a small pot, poured water from a thermos bottle, placed wontons, took out a white porcelain bowl from the small compartment, and asked again, do you want onions?Want spicy?Taste salty?Asked clearly, put the seasoning, scooped up a spoon full of soup in the round belly pot and poured it into a white porcelain bowl. At this time, the wontons were also cooked, and they were scooped up like pink water chestnuts. Even after eating wontons and soup, even after three or nine days, I was sweating profusely and felt comfortable all over.

Wei Rongrong said vividly from the side: "Secretary Chen, this chaos is different from the ones sold on the street. This is our family's ancestral handicraft. They cook soup with a leg bone. When the soup is gone, add water. A pot of soup is full from morning till night. It’s full, I’m making soup from two leg bones, and I can serve it all at once, so you can eat it while it’s hot.”

Chen Mingyuan picked up a spoon to scoop up a piece of chaos, blew it cool, and took a small bite, the aroma immediately overflowed. Jiangnan special flavor dishes are inexpensive and full of characteristics, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that he ate to his satisfaction, Wei Rongrong's uneasiness disappeared for the most part. Although he was quite disapproving of her father-in-law's opponent at first, what happened yesterday has witnessed Chen Mingyuan's clever methods of combining grace and power, as well as his steadfastness in defending himself. Under the influence of sensibility, there are always feelings in the heart.

"By the way, Rong Rong, how long has it been since you and your lover went back to see Secretary Liu?" Chen Mingyuan asked suddenly, and smiled, "Just to talk about homework, when my colleagues and I went to pay your respects to your mother-in-law's birthday last time, You sons and daughters are not here."

Wei Rongrong's expression was a bit unnatural, but when she met Chen Mingyuan's friendly smile, she let go of her scruples and said with a wry smile: "I said I would go back that time, but Xiao Nan was not happy..."

Xiao Nan is Liu Yuli's only son, Liu Xiaonan.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Rongrong whispered: "The relationship between Xiao Nan and his father has not been very good. How can I put it, Xiao Nan always thinks that his father is too strict with him, and he has to intervene in everything from school to work." Arrangement, after a long time, Xiao Nan can't bear it, this year, except to go back for the New Year, and ordinary holidays, he would rather stay here, even if he can't be persuaded, he is like a cow, so stubborn!"

Seeing the helplessness on Wei Rongrong's face, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, the father and son really have something in common. They both like to be self-centered, but the son can't resist the father, so he simply wants to be out of sight and out of mind.

This is someone else's housework, and Chen Mingyuan didn't want to talk too much about it, so he casually mentioned a few words: "Secretary Liu is certainly a bit strong, but his character is not bad, and he must do these things for Xiao Nan's good, maybe the method is a little too extreme , but as a son, how can he guarantee that he is always right? The key is to communicate more, the family is considerate of each other, and there is no knot that cannot be solved."

Seeing Chen Mingyuan give such a pertinent evaluation to her father-in-law, Wei Rongrong couldn't help admiring him more, and said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, you really should talk about Xiao Nan in person, he will definitely listen to you."

Chen Mingyuan laughed it off, when the phone rang, glanced at the number, then raised his head and said: "Go do your work first, I will arrange today's itinerary myself."

Wei Rongrong knew that it was inconvenient for her to listen to the phone, so she nodded, got up and left.

After the call was connected, before Chen Mingyuan could speak, Mu Jiayin's bright and crisp voice came from the other end: "Secretary Chen, I have been visiting relatives and friends in Yanjing City for the past two days. Did I call back?"

Chen Mingyuan smiled. Hearing the gentle voice like a bell, and looking at the vast light outside the window, he felt even more joyful, "I'm afraid I'll sharpen my head and go around for alms, but it's not as good as you can open the door with a few phone calls."

Mu Jiayin burst out laughing, she could see that she was still in a good mood today, and she said sweetly: "Okay! Just for your sweet mouth, this girl showed kindness today, and I will give you a generous gift as a icing on the cake! "

Chen Mingyuan suddenly remembered the short message from yesterday.

"I made an appointment for you yesterday, you can go directly to talk, I think, as long as you don't have a bag of wine, you should be able to make a deal." Mu Jiayin's voice on the other end of the phone was fast and light. , "You know, it is Wang Xiuquan."

Wang Xiuquan.

Chen Mingyuan suddenly thought of the young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and felt a little confused. It wasn't that he had doubts about Wang Xiuquan's business, but based on his previous understanding, he knew that the Wang family had a good power in publicity. Wang Xiuquan's father Ren Guangdian The director of the General Administration, of course, was a matter last year. With the change of term, it is estimated that there will be other adjustments to the work, but it will not be separated from the ideological field.

But he came here to seek business to revitalize the economy in the Xishan District of the county. For a while, he really couldn't figure out how cultural projects could promote that barren and barren land. singer?

At first glance, it sounds like two completely different fields!

Mu Jiayin also noticed his confusion, and said with a clear smile, "Don't think too much, it's a waste of brain cells, you'll know when you go, anyway, I won't be idle to fool you."

Chen Mingyuan said with emotion: "My train of thought is becoming more and more unable to keep up with your flash of inspiration."

"That's right, if you don't have the ability to use three tricks, how can this girl have the nerve to make suggestions behind you."

Mu Jiayin snorted a little triumphantly, and after finishing speaking, both of them laughed at the same time.

Chen Mingyuan thought of this proud and intelligent young woman who had selflessly offered advice and suggestions for herself many times, and was both moved and guilty in his heart. What more could a husband ask for if he could get a wife like this?

The other end was silent for a while, and then a gentle and deep voice came from the phone: "By the way, I don't have time to accompany you there this time, I made an appointment with Qu Lao today, and I have to go to Yuquan Mountain to visit him. "

Chen Mingyuan knew that her affairs had reached a critical stage, and asked, "How's the situation?"

When it came to the political decisions of the Mu family, it was inconvenient for Chen Mingyuan to ask more questions, but with the foresight of the future, he still hoped to give Mu Jiayin some help in this matter.

Mu Jiayin clicked her tongue, and said eloquently, "It's hard to say at the moment. The family has their own opinions, but my second brother prefers to continue to follow the old path."

Following the old path, Chen Mingyuan knew that Mu Dingyin meant to continue to stand on the side of the old regime's forces. After all, apart from the flourishing situation of the Zhonghai faction, on the other hand, the new monarch still hadn't controlled the military power. Without the loyal support of the army, how can the waist stand straight?

In fact, not only Mu Dingyin, but Chen Guoliang, Cen Ruiwen, and even Lu Bainian and other princes probably thought that the faction headed by Comrade He Xiangdong would still be prosperous for a long time. big act.

As someone who has experienced it, Chen Mingyuan also knows that this prediction is not unreasonable. In fact, the legacy of the old ruling group will indeed continue for many years, but everything is only temporary. How can someone who can reach the ninth five position be a mediocre person? , maybe it won't be long before, with the arrival of a storm, China's political landscape will undergo drastic changes.

"Your brother's choice is still well-founded. Whoever it is, nine out of ten will make the same choice." Chen Mingyuan thought about his words, and tried his best to remind openly: "However, the words left by the founding great man cannot be ignored. , Don’t let the floating clouds cover your eyes, it’s advisable to look at the long-term scenery, no matter how prosperous the prosperity in front of you is, but there is no guarantee that when a strong wind blows, everything may become a passing cloud.”

"what do you mean……"

Even though Mu Jiayin was extremely intelligent, she was very surprised for a while. You must know that the Chen family's position has always been closely following that of the Zhong Hai faction and Comrade He Xiangdong, but as the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family, Chen Mingyuan would say such a shocking statement. The argument, this is to talk to myself, if it is spread, it may set off a big political storm!

"I don't have any other intentions. I just advise you to take a long-term view on major issues. Sometimes it's a bit inferior to have both ways, but at the same time it's the most appropriate way. There is no harm in taking a steady step." Having said all that, Chen Mingyuan joked, "Okay, let's divide our forces into two ways first, and strive for two points of success, so that the two of us can make a name for ourselves in Forty-Nine City."

Mu Jiayin was so teased that she couldn't laugh or cry, and said angrily, "Whoever wants to make a name for you is shameful!"
