"Dad, sister, I'm back. Don't worry, I must have lived at home for the Lantern Festival this time, and I will not go to Xiangjiang until Xiangji is officially put into operation in March. ”

Gu Biao returned to Qiantang in a hurry, and went straight back to the villa in Geling Mid-Mountain on Beishan Road to reunite with his family.

Strictly speaking, the Gu family is in so many properties in Qiantang. The scenic manor outside Qingbo Gate and not far from Nanshan Road is registered in the name of my father. And the house in the original mysterious sanatorium at the foot of Geling Mountain on Beishan Road should be in the name of my sister and brother-in-law.

Gu Biao actually doesn't have any villas under his name, strictly speaking, he can only live in Daguan Garden.

Originally, the Gu family spent the New Year in the manor under his father's name, but this year, my sister and brother-in-law returned to China and wanted to do their filial piety, so they lived in the villa converted from a sanatorium on Beishan Road most of the time.

Of course, my sister also has to abide by the woman's way and go to her mother-in-law's house to fulfill her filial piety, so they just live in Qiantang after the New Year, and on the 29th of the lunar month, they still have to fly back to the capital and live in the brother-in-law's own house for three days, and then fly back to Qiantang on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The reason why I have lived in the Gu family for so long is obviously because the influence of the Gu family's wealth has reached a certain extent, so except for the days when the etiquette law stipulates that you should go to my sister's mother-in-law's house, I can stay in Qiantang if I can.

And on the other hand, after my brother-in-law returns to work after his vacation, he has to work in the capital all the year round, and he usually stays at home for a long time, so he should naturally come to Yue's house more often during the New Year's Festival.

"Your brother-in-law has also been working in Yuben for four years, and the first secretary who was promoted the year before last is now in his early 30s, and he will return to China to stay in the Asian Department for a year or two before he can continue to be a counselor - after all, in the circle of the relevant foreign affairs departments, except for small countries, it is rare to be a counselor and minister directly from the secretary, after all, there are two systems. ”

When they met, my sister Gu Min naturally had to explain a few sentences to Gu Biao, clarifying that my brother-in-law would have to work in the capital for a while in the future.

Therefore, from this year onwards, Gu Biao will have to re-find the person in charge of the front-line for the Tiankun Company's subsidiary-my sister must return to the capital with her husband and wife, and she will not return to Tokyo until a year or two later.

Gu Biao: "I know, sister, I still need you to explain this to me, have you forgotten that I am also mixed up in this circle? ”

Gu Biao knew that the first secretary down belonged to the "embassy and consulate staff", and the commercial counselor went up, he belonged to the "embassy and consulate leaders", and the resulting systems were different. Sometimes, it takes many years for the third-class secretary to stay up to the first-class secretary, and the key is that he is still mixed up, and then he is sent airborne from the country.

If the first secretary stationed in a major major country has any hope of being promoted to counselor, he will return to the corresponding continent department of the ministry to serve as director or deputy director for a few years.

(If the first secretary of the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union returns, he can correspond to the division of the United States, Asia, and Europe, and if the first secretary of Britain and France returns, he can only go to the European department as the deputy department.) It depends on whether the country you are stationed in is the number one big country in your continent, and if not, you can only come back to make up for it. ）

From this point of view, it is not only the case that brother-in-law Yang Xin came back after a few years of chaos.

After Ye Kun became the first secretary of the embassy in the United States, he was transferred back to China to the Americas Division as a deputy director-general, which can barely be regarded as this situation - but when Ye Kun came back, it was indeed because her grandfather was critically ill and wanted to return to China to visit, so she took the initiative to apply for transfer back to fulfill her filial piety.

Some officials may have some opinions on these two systems, but in fact, China is already the best country in the world in this regard, if it is a spicy chicken country like the United States, the disconnection between upper and lower diplomats is more serious, and the lower-level secretaries have almost no room for rise, and the "ambassador" is simply a bargaining chip used by the president to thank donors-

Whether it's looking at O'Dark Horse, or Donald, who after being elected president, doesn't give a bunch of ambassadors to small countries?

For Americans, this kind of position is high-level, noble, and has little real power, which is really the best choice for the president. The laws of the United States also stipulate that these positions are directly appointed by the president, and there is no restraining force, and there is no requirement for the appointee's political experience.

After all, the three Qs of the Americans are separated, and they are not divided into foreign and defense affairs, and these two pieces are directly decided by the president, who will let the president represent the United States to the outside world. In the so-called most popular country, foreign affairs and national defense are not people's pigs, and people's pigs only need internal affairs and people's pigs, and they don't need foreign people's pigs.

……

After chatting with my sister and brother-in-law about work and career prospects for a while, Gu Min asked about Mina:

"Brother, you went home with Suizi for the New Year this year, how can you explain this to Dad?

Gu Biao: "Suizi can't give birth, she said it herself, if I had an illegitimate child before I got married, she would be able to lose some people." Therefore, she also felt that she had been separated from me for more than half a year last year, and she had saved up her own money to run the prize, and her relationship with me was weak, so she took the opportunity to explain it to the outside world.

Mina's words, she is not without business, this time she came to Qiantang, nominally the Kentucky fried chicken acquired by the Red Bull Group to open the first store in the mainland in Qiantang, and besides, the Gatorade factory that she expanded last year is about to be put into production. People come to Qiantang for business reasons.

Besides, Mina has Xinjiang and Bailu blood, and although the household registration book has now been changed back to Han, their family has always been only for the Spring Festival. She also handles work in other places during the Spring Festival, and gathers with us by the way, so she is not so awkward in name. ”

Gu Min listened to it and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then I'll give my dad a preventive shot first, and privately get to the bottom of the news that Suizi can't give birth, by the way, you and Mina are still talking, and you and Suizi are still best close friends." Fortunately, the uncle usually doesn't live in our house anymore, otherwise his old-fashioned will definitely not be able to stand the petty bourgeoisie like you and bring your cousins and sisters badly. ”

"Do I have a bad belt?" Gu Biao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of those poor relatives with backbone.

Gu Min sighed: "Brother Lobby is okay, he hasn't moved his mind to change his sister-in-law yet, after all, he is dragging the family with him, but he secretly doesn't know."

Your second brother was originally a brainyman, and he didn't drag him down, but now he is nominally talking about a person who wants to get married, but in fact, he doesn't plan to get married, and he is riding a donkey to find a horse. Alas, if you cut down the house and status, you don't count, just money, it's just hundreds of thousands of family property, and you are looking for more women than you, anyway, there must be at least three. ”

When Gu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It's only been two years since I went back to Qiantang, and the money that really belongs to them is less than one million yuan, so can I get mixed like this in 86? (The source of the money is still legitimate, and the red envelopes that Gu Biao sealed during the New Year's holidays add up to so much.) ）

Human nature really can't stand the test.

Maybe I was poor and scared when I was in adolescence, and I had a rebellious mentality. I feel that the most energetic and youthful years have been spent in vain, and after I have money, I have a revenge to vent my profligacy.

Let's sweep the snow in front of the door by yourself.

Of course, Gu Biao also knows that private morality and talent should be looked at separately. If you really have the ability, you still have to use it, after all, your family is a little more relieved.

It's really not good, Gu Biao also considered that his sister would return to China for the past two years, and transfer his second brother Gu Chi to Yueben to supervise the operation of Tiankun's subsidiary. Of course, Gu Chi must not be given as much power as Gu Min, at most he can only be regarded as a supervisor-type role, and report to Gu Min remotely if there is a problem.

As for whether Gu Chi will harm more women after he becomes richer...... Then let him go to the scourge of this girl, anyway, there is no discipline at all for this woman, and if she does a good job of safety, she should win glory for the country.

……

With my sister's insider help to greet in advance, my father finally didn't dislike Gu Biao's style.

Mina came to dinner with the Gu family for the first time, and she was also happy, even Xiao Sui was together, everyone put on a harmonious posture, they were all good friends.

Although my dad doesn't know much about the outside business, he is still very clear about the big boss in Qiantang and knows the strength of the "Red Bull Group".

Although, the father also knew that his son had owned a part of the Red Bull Group for a while, and later became an official before he transferred out and earned Mina, a "well-known domestic wine and beverage tycoon". So he can also estimate that his son and that female classmate may have had a good relationship for a long time.

But in any case, it is also very satisfying to have such a decent alternative as a reserve daughter-in-law.

Although Mina usually has the charm of a white girl, she is still very dignified when she comes to see the Gu family's parents, and she deliberately puts on makeup to look lighter and elegant, which naturally wins the favor of the Gu family - Mina usually doesn't use makeup, she is naturally very charming when she looks at it, and makeup deliberately covers some charm.

"Come and come, don't be polite, just like your own home, water, wine and thin dishes, eat whatever you want. ”

At the first meal of the family reunion, Dad set the tone, and naturally no one would make a fuss anymore.

At the banquet, Mina also toasted all her relatives on the spot, and everyone was very polite to her, and Gu Biao's cousins didn't dare to face her.

After all, the sister-in-law who was originally scheduled was just a beautiful writer and had no power. Now there is a big multinational boss who doesn't know the details, but he comes out of the diplomatic circle.

After some staggered and happy discussions, Dad took advantage of the dismissal and pulled Gu Biao aside:

"Unruly, you have such a big career, I know I can't control you. And after you have money, everyone will change, and I've seen a lot, and you've already counted convergence.

But I have one request for you: If you procrastinate in your marriage, when will you have a child to inherit you? You are also 24 years old, and if you only delay it for another year or two, I will admit it, and it will not be possible for a long time! The laws of the country have said that if you are 25 years old, you will marry later and have children later!"

"Dad, I have my own plan - you said, the national law is that 25 years old is considered late marriage and late childbearing, and when it comes to this point, whatever timetable you want to set, I will depend on you, and now the environment is indeed not mature. Mina still has business on Lucia's side, and I can't hurt her. ”
