Another year has passed, and the Chen family is getting stronger and stronger. Next, the engagement between Chen Mu and Zhang Jingwei is a landmark milestone. No matter what, marriage is always a way for the family to stabilize, inherit, develop and grow. The most primitive model, from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign countries, without exception.
More than two years ago, if anyone had said that Zhang Jingwei and Chen Mu would be a couple, they would have refused to believe it. Even years ago, when the news came out, people would have been shocked. These two people were enemies of life and death at the beginning. Oh!
Enemies! Yes, maybe that's the reason, but Zhang Bi's attitude is what everyone cares about. This old man is not easy to fool, nor is he easy to be emotional. This engagement represents his love for Chen Mu and Jiang Huai The Chen family¡¯s approval.
And this old man is even more respected now. The problem is that he is not too old, especially because he is very strong. Anyway, he will definitely look in good shape within ten or eight years. This is even more incredible. Ten years But it's time for the next term, and this can indicate that Zhang Bi's family will be extremely powerful in the next twenty or even thirty years.
On the afternoon of the third day of the third lunar month, under the gaze of countless pairs of red eyes, Chen Mu and his family entered. They chartered a special plane to fly from Jiangdong City to the capital. Although the ceremony was only held on the sixth day of the lunar month and they had communicated with each other many times before, After all, competition is a big deal, and the details will always need to be confirmed many times before they can be settled.
There is no way, this is the reality of power. Although the engagement ceremony is usually held at the man's home, this time, it has to be on the territory of the Zhang family. Neither Chen Zhigeng nor Chen Mu have any objections.
"Sometimes it's really fate," Wu Zhiheng was also sitting on the plane. He was on duty during the Chinese New Year and didn't go back. Of course, this also meant accompanying him. After all, he was the one pulling the strings.
Chen Zhigeng was really happy in his heart. He could see more clearly. The fact that the Chen family caught up with the Zhang family did not make him more happy than the fact that Chen Mu has truly matured now. "No, if it were the bastard before, I would also I don¡¯t dare to climb high, but now, I feel confident enough to talk to Mr. Zhang.¡± After a pause, ¡°I also have to thank Secretary Wu and Mr. Yang. This is the blessing of our junior.¡±
Wu Zhiheng was also happy. Chen Mu has now become a super outstanding young man, completely worthy of Zhang Jingwei. Moreover, he will have to take advantage of this matter in the future, "I don't dare to take what Mr. Chen said. It's true." Chen Mu himself is outstanding, as my daughter said, there are not many such good young men out there."
Compliments to each other are necessary in this kind of situation. Although the relationship between the two families is indeed good, Chen Mu is listening to Chen Zheng asking Chen Daowen for advice on how to control the county bureau. Chen Daowen has more than ten years of experience in the political and legal system, regardless of talent. , or wrist, are all top-notch.
"Checks and balances can only be done occasionally. It is an effective method, but if it is used too much, it shows that you are not confident enough to control the whole thing. And this can also be said to be a problem of your ability. Here, it is There is a premise, that is, everything must be done to make your current work more outstanding, benefit the common people, and let the superior officials recognize you."
"In this way, those who should give in, those who should compromise, do not hesitate to be magnanimous, but you must also use thunderous means. If you give in in a way that makes you respectful rather than fearful, and in a way that convinces you rather than because of interests, then Even if it¡¯s done.¡±
Chen Mu chuckled when he heard this, "Dad, your demands are too high," he looked at Chen Daowen, glared at him, and shrugged, "I agree with the above. As for this issue of conviction and interests, it's not that I'm too utilitarian. , but the reality is too cruel.¡±
At this time, Chen Daoqing smiled and knocked him, "What do children know? Your dad is right. Convince is our first goal." However, at this time, he paused again. Then he said: "Of course, detailed analysis of specific situations is also the most basic principle."
"Brother, you dote on him so much because you think he's not proud enough, right?" Chen Daowen answered angrily, "This kid's tail is almost up."
These words were just hypocritical. Chen Daoqing ignored them. Chen Mu's final transformation was seen by many people. Who has such a son? He was not satisfied that it was fake, but he patted Chen Zheng's shoulder affectionately. "Everyone is different, and the path they will take in the future is also different. As long as you remember, don't force yourself, and do your part well, you will definitely not have any regrets when you grow old."
Chen Zheng has changed a lot this year. He was originally smart, corrected his attitude, and with the support of the Chen family, he pulled and fought. He began to slowly grasp the situation in the bureau. At the same time, he also worked hard in the county. Slowly expanding his influence will lay the foundation for his next step into county power.
He is almost thirty-one this year, and he isLike Chen Mu, who is more than seven years younger, he is still just a regular student. However, there are some things that cannot be forced. He also learned from Chen Zhigeng that the most important thing for his father is to look at his own destiny, and Chen Daowen, That is what the Chen family will focus on in the next ten or twenty years. As for Chen Mu, he has broken away from the shackles of the Chen family. Because of the relationship between the Zhang family and his own abilities, he will be in the Zhang family and the Yang family. The Yuan family and other forces slowly rose to prominence.
"I got it, dad!" Youru said, a beggar would only be jealous of a beggar who did better than him, but would not be jealous of a millionaire. Chen Zheng's previous resentment towards Chen Mu, as Chen Mu is now getting stronger, He no longer had that thought, but he still had two phone calls to communicate with Chen Mu.
Chen Zhigeng said summarily at this time, "There is no need to be complacent, and there is no need to belittle oneself. No matter what our Jianghuai Chen family becomes in the future, the rules in the family will still be the same, and the principles of doing things will still be the same."
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane parked at the airport in the western suburbs of Beijing. This airport is not open at ordinary times and is used for important imports. It is also open during major conferences.
Zhang Heyuan, his husband, Zhang Jingwei, Zhang Weihao, and Zhang Weihao's sister Zhang Jinghe were waiting on the tarmac. Of course Zhang Bi would not come. At this time, only the Supreme Being would be able to let him come. Accept, other entries are not qualified.
After some greetings, everyone had their own guests. Zhang Heyuan was naturally accompanied by Chen Zhigeng, Wu Zhiheng, Chen Daowen, and Chen Daoqing. Zhang Heyuan's husband Zhu Meidan and Zhang Jinghe entertained a group of female guests. Zhang Weihao punched Chen Mu on the shoulder and smiled. Hehehe, "I originally wanted to have a good chat with you, but I can't help it. Grandpa is still waiting at home, so I have to wait until next time."
This kind of hospitality is very layered and orderly, and it is also a rule gradually developed by aristocratic families. It is not about the old and the young mixing together, and the men and women mixing together. Although it is not without feudal ideas. , but overall, this is a more appropriate rule.
They got into the car separately. Chen Mu patted his chest and said, "Don't scare me. If you say this, I won't dare to say anything when I see the old man."
"Virtue!" Zhang Weihao replied angrily, "If you are really afraid of the old man, you are just afraid that your face will turn pale now, and you will lower your head and think about how to deal with it later. How can you still have the temperament to talk to us."
"They say you've changed, but I still don't believe it. After all, I went to your place in October," Liu Jinhong also smiled and added, "But now that I see it, it's really "You are so handsome as a general," he shook his head again, "From now on, I won't take you to play, so as not to notice the difference between us at a glance when you get home."
Zhang Jingwei giggled and leaned into Chen Mu's arms, pinching his chin and looking left and right, "Are there any obvious signs? Or is there something different? Why didn't I see it?"
Zhang Weihao snorted, "Another guy who got a good deal and acted like a good boy. You two are really a pair born from a young age." Zhang Jingwei was so proud of these words that she really felt comfortable listening to them. "You can praise me as much as you want." It¡¯s really boring to have to beat around the bush like this.¡±
She was being pretentious, but Chen Mu asked Liu Jinhong seriously, "Cousin, what's the matter with the old man?" When he asked, everyone including Zhang Jingwei became serious, and Liu Jinhong looked at him He glanced at it and nodded, "Seeing you, I'm not worried anymore. However, the old man wants to test you one last time. Although it is unlikely to break off the engagement, I think you understand the importance of this attitude better than I do. "
Chen Mu shrugged. Of course he knew that this attitude would be related to the Zhang family's attitude towards him in the future and the degree of support to the Chen family. It was related to many subtle but interlocking things. He turned to look at Zhang Jingwei with a smile. , "It's really not easy to get a wife!"
Zhang Weihao smiled and did not shy away from speaking at all. Obviously, he did not regard Chen Mu as an outsider at all. Of course, there were many reasons for this, and it was not just because of Zhang Jingwei, "No, our Jingwei is under Yao The best girl's family, but ordinary people are not so lucky, otherwise they will be served with guns."
"Are you itchy?" Zhang Jingwei suddenly became upset when she heard something was wrong, "I am also your sister after all, so you can't say something nice at this time."
Zhang Weihao laughed loudly, "What's nice is that my brother-in-law told you tonight. I've said too much. If you don't think it's disgusting, I can't stand it!"
The two of them were arguing, but Liu Jinhong thought about it and said to Chen Mu, "Don't think too much. Just like Jingwei said before, the old man may think you are not mature enough." As he said that, he laughed. "Actually, that was just a harsh rebuke from his old man, and he also hurt Jingwei too much. You were a big deal before, but now, I can't think of how many big bosses there are in the capital."They can match yours. "
Chen Mu smiled, very calm and normal. In this situation, the more Liu Jinhong said that, the more nervous he would be. This was a well-intentioned mistake, something Liu Jinhong didn't think about, but Chen Mu didn't. , and he could even guess that Zhang Bi telling Zhang Weihao and Liu Jinhong this matter was actually the beginning of his test.
As long as he cares too much, he will do it deliberately. Then, he may lose before he defeats the Zhang family!
