After eating, Liao Fanyao and Xue Chuling went out for a walk, Xu Wenqing cleaned up in the kitchen, and Liao Fanmin went to take a bath.

After taking a shower and returning to the living room, Xu Wenqing had already cleaned up and gone out for a walk, leaving Liao Zexi sitting in the living room.

Seeing Liao Fanmin walk into the living room, Liao Zexi waved his hand and motioned for Liao Fanmin to sit down.

Liao Zexi's expression was a little serious, and he smoked silently.

In fact, the living room is air-conditioned, but fortunately, the living room is large enough to smell the pungent smell.

Liao Zexi's expression made Liao Fanmin feel that something was wrong, in his impression, his father was rarely like this, especially after he was reborn, he almost never saw his father like this.

"Xiaomin, it's been more than a year, I haven't treated you as a child, do you remember the night after Yaoyao's college entrance examination, what I said to you, I was very shocked when I learned that you earned so much money, I was very shocked, I was thinking for a long time after I went home, I couldn't sleep for many nights, and I couldn't let your mother know, so as not to affect Yaoyao's college entrance examination, and then I slowly understood that some things must be accepted, you have the ability, the ability, and the maturity, I should be happy, instead of falling into the horns, always thinking about why you have such great ability。 ”

"Your mother has asked me this question many times, she can't figure it out, looking at her son who grew up, how can he be so capable all of a sudden, and earn money that we can't think of in our lives, I have persuaded many times, your mother has opened this knot, children become talents, parents are always happy, I even told your mother that she would never have thought that I would become the deputy mayor. ”

Liao Fanmin lowered his head and listened very carefully, and there was a faint worry in his heart.

"The children are all successful, of course your mother and I are happy, after you and Cheng Yahui established a relationship, we are more relieved, we learned that Cheng Yahui is going to study abroad, you gave up the opportunity to study abroad, we don't understand, since you are in love, the two have to be together, the era you have experienced, and we are different at that time, a long time apart, it is very likely to affect the relationship between you, and then I listened to your explanation, I think it makes sense, and I think you are very sensible, and you can handle the relationship with Cheng Yahui very well, if there is no later thing, we will wake up laughing in our dreams。。。 ”

Liao Fanmin raised his head and looked at Liao Zexi.

"Dad, what's wrong. ”

Liao Zexi put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case again.

"Not long ago, I went to Fandu to participate in the city's economic work semi-annual summary meeting, and met Mayor Cheng and Secretary Chen. ”

Liao Fanmin's heart tightened suddenly, and the ominous feeling in his mind became even more obvious.

Liao Fanmin's slightly trembling hand unconsciously stretched out to the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette from it and lit it.

Liao Zexi looked at Liao Fanmin and frowned slightly.

"Xiaomin, do you know something, can you tell me. ”

"Dad, in fact, I don't have anything to worry about, the main thing is that I'm worried that you will be affected. ”

Liao Zexi looked at Liao Fanmin seriously, and a smile appeared on his face, although this smile was a little bitter.

"Xiaomin, worry about what I'm doing, three years ago, I was just an ordinary cadre, and I have survived more than 40 years, even if I am dismissed as the deputy mayor today, I am an ordinary cadre, and I still eat and sleep well, you and Yaoyao are so competitive, what am I worried about, I don't need to beg anyone, don't wronged you for my work, then I don't feel at ease." ”

Liao Zexi's words made Liao Fanmin even more uncomfortable in his heart, and his deepest worries were finally involved.

"Dad, Chen Jianhua's son Chen Wei, working in the Provincial Planning Commission, two terms higher than us, also graduated from the Law Department of the University of South China, two years ago, he and Cheng Yahui participated in a series of debate competitions, the pursuit of the process of Yahui, it was also during that time, Chen Wei's mother Tan Sufang, also went to the University of South China to find me, hoping that I would give way and let Chen Wei and Cheng Yahui fall in love, but I did not agree. ”

"This time Chen Wei also went abroad to study, and Cheng Yahui is a school, a few days ago Cheng Yahui called me, saying that Chen Wei specifically found her, she ignored it, but Cheng Yahui said on the phone, Uncle Cheng mentioned Chen Wei on the phone... ”

Liao Zexi had a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Xiaomin, what do you think. ”

"Between me and Cheng Yahui, outsiders can't be separated, unless Cheng Yahui changes her mind, I don't force it. ”

"Cheng Yahui has been studying abroad for three years, Chen Wei and Cheng Yahui are studying in the same university, you and Cheng Yahui almost never have the opportunity to meet, how dare you guarantee that Cheng Yahui will not change her mind. ”

"I don't dare to fully guarantee it, but I have confidence. ”

"In this way, you must have a very bad understanding of Secretary Chen and Section Chief Tan. ”

"Yes, in fact, after Chen Wei joined the work, he already had a girlfriend, but on the eve of studying abroad, he suddenly broke up with his girlfriend, and I even heard that Chen Wei's girlfriend was pregnant. ”

"There is some truth in what you said, Xiaomin, just say all your analysis. ”

"I think that's what Chen Wei's parents meant, as for why they did this, it is estimated that they are looking at Uncle Cheng. ”

Liao Zexi couldn't help but nod.

"Xiaomin, do you know what Mayor Cheng and Secretary Chen told me when I went to the meeting this time? ”

Liao Fanmin obviously can't answer this question, and Liao Zexi doesn't need Liao Fanmin to answer.

"Mayor Cheng came to me to talk, affirmed my work, and thought that I was in the position of deputy mayor, doing a very good job, not only to ensure the financial expenses of Xuanming City, but also to make a certain contribution to the city's financial revenue, at the end of this year, all the cities and counties will be replaced, Mayor Cheng asked me to work harder. ”

"Mayor Cheng also talked about you, saying that you are very capable and insightful, and you will definitely have a future in the future. ”

"Secretary Chen talked to me, and also asked me to work hard and have a better performance, Secretary Chen also mentioned you, saying that his son also graduated from the University of South China, participated in the work for a year, and chose to study abroad to enrich his ability. ”

"I have long heard that Mayor Cheng is the best candidate for the secretary of the municipal party committee at the end of the year. ”

"The two leaders have found me to talk, I am very happy, especially Mayor Cheng's conversation, has pointed out some things, it depends on whether I can grasp it, Secretary Chen is in charge of cadres, some words will not be said very clearly, vague is also normal, and the relationship between Mayor Cheng and me is not ordinary, it is completely okay to be straightforward, and when the term is changed, Mayor Cheng is likely to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he has direct decision-making power in the appointment and dismissal of cadres. ”

"Secretary Chen said that his son also graduated from the University of South China, out of politeness, I inquired, so as not to meet Secretary Chen next time, I don't know his son's situation, but the news I heard made me extremely puzzled. ”

"Someone actually told me that Secretary Chen's son Chen Wei pursued Cheng Yahui, and now he is studying in the United States with Cheng Yahui, and he is still in a university, and the two are very likely to walk together, and said that Mayor Cheng is also very optimistic about Chen Wei, thinking that Chen Wei is knowledgeable, capable, and has an unlimited future, and is a good seedling. ”

"Hearing such news, I immediately began to be vigilant, the news is so detailed that it is generally unlikely, and you and Cheng Yahui are in love, there are many people who know about this matter, it is said that I will inquire about Chen Wei's situation at will, and the situations mentioned above should be hidden from me and not let me know. ”

"Without much thought, I quickly understood that someone wanted me to know these news, and some people knew that I would inquire about Chen Wei's situation, and telling me these news was nothing more than wanting me to back down, to be precise, to let me talk to you, forcing you to take the initiative to quit, and fulfill Chen Wei and Cheng Yahui. ”

"I am very angry and angry, in the face of the feelings between children, how can parents do this, is it possible that some people regard their own position so important that they can even sacrifice the happiness of their children, no matter what. ”

"When you and Cheng Yahui were friends, your mother and I were a little worried, in addition to worrying about the disparity between families, causing pressure on you, and the competition of evil deeds, in your mother and I opinion, you are the best, but outsiders don't necessarily see it this way, even if you and Cheng Yahui establish a relationship, as long as you are not married, someone may intervene. ”

"Your mother and I are both from the past, when facing these problems, a little pessimistic, but you don't have to worry, today I will make it clear to you, as long as you insist, we fully support, no matter how much pressure you encounter, you don't have to back down, you said that Cheng Yahui changed her mind, I don't think so, the key is to see your performance, if because Cheng Yahui is studying in the United States, you are indifferent, or feel lonely, with a new relationship, then there must be a problem between you, three years, it is indeed a little longer, but you think about your mother and me, seven years, we have survived。。。 ”

Liao Fanmin shook his head helplessly.

"Why, Xiaomin, am I not right. ”

"Dad, you were in a different era at that time, and besides, Mom and you both got marriage certificates, Cheng Yahui and I are still boyfriend and girlfriend, and we didn't get marriage certificates. ”

Liao Zexi patted his forehead gently.

"What I said is, I didn't expect this, but I still hope you can persevere, as for what is the final outcome between you and Cheng Yahui, your mother and I will not interfere, we believe that you can handle it, as for other things, you don't have to care, don't pay attention to it, I will find a way to deal with it." ”

When he walked into the bedroom, Liao Fanmin was determined that when the time was right, he would completely defeat Chen Wei and Chen Wei's father.
