Back at the gate of the community, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Under the faint light at the entrance of the community, Liao Fanmin saw a familiar figure.

"Dad, when did you come here, why didn't you call me? ”

"You should have been with Megumi just now. ”

"Well, Xiaohui has already taken the train to Beijing, and the plane will go to the United States at noon tomorrow. ”

"Have you made things clear between you? ”

"To be clear, things are in the past between us. ”

"Is it really that simple? ”

"I don't think there's any contact, maybe the occasional phone call. ”

Liao Zexi patted Liao Fanmin on the shoulder.

"I just arrived in Nanhua City, I haven't had time to have dinner yet, let's go, let's go to dinner together, our father and son have a good drink, we haven't had a good drink together for a long time. ”

You can't drive if you drink, so Liao Fanmin parked the car and walked to the door of the community.

Liao Zexi also didn't bring a car, and the two took a taxi to a short distance to go for supper.

In the hot season, it is still very lively at ten o'clock, and there are many people walking outside, and there are many people who have a late-night snack.

Finally found a slightly quieter place for supper, and Liao Zexi and Liao Fanmin sat down.

The boss quickly walked over and asked what the two were eating.

Liao Zexi ordered a few dishes, including braised prawns that have been popular in Nanhua City recently.

The speed of serving is very fast, although there is air conditioning in the private room, it still feels stuffy, after all, the air conditioning in the supper place will not be too good.

"Xiaomin, I heard that you are doing a very good job by Governor Liu's side. ”

"Dad, it's only been half a month, how can it be said that it's very good, that is, it's just begun. ”

"That's right, it should be a bit hard. ”

"It's okay, I can bear it anyway, Dad, the relationship between me and Xiaohui is over, it will definitely affect you, I think Xiaohui will definitely call my uncle and aunt, you have to be prepared." ”

"Worried about what I'm doing, I've been ready for a long time, Xiaohui returned to Fandu Your mother and I both know, but Xiaohui didn't come to the house, we knew that something was wrong, I just heard in the morning, Xiaohui came to Nanhua City by plane, I thought that Xiaohui must have come to you, and I came by car in the afternoon, I want to see what happened between you, but I didn't expect that you broke off so quickly. ”

Liao Zexi sighed slightly and picked up his wine glass.

"Xiaomin, I still say the same thing, I used to be an ordinary cadre in the Xuanming Civil Affairs Bureau, I have been an ordinary cadre for so many years, and I have come over, and now the level has gone up, so I don't think about anything else at all, I am even ready to find an organizational department and apply to the People's Congress or the CPPCC, which is much quieter, and I have time to stay at home. ”

"Dad, I'm in trouble with you. ”

"What's the problem, both our father and son know these things, if it weren't for your help to Cheng Yahui, I wouldn't have been able to be promoted and reused, in fact, I am very grateful to Secretary Cheng, if it weren't for Secretary Cheng's help, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today, but no matter what, as long as it involves you, I will make a decision quickly and understand the trade-offs, I have worked hard in my job over the years, although I am not conscientious, but I am also worthy of my conscience, I am not greedy or possessive, I am not afraid of someone calculating behind my back, and I have no promotion**, the so-called desireless and unwanted, invincible, so I have nothing to fear and worry about. ”

"Dad, don't say that, I used to have no interest in the affairs of the government units, but after entering the work of the provincial department, I understood why the soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, since he works in the administrative organ, then he must make a name for himself, the organ and the enterprise are different, the enterprise can make money, it means that it is doing well, there are very clear quantitative indicators, but the organs and units are different, the work does not have particularly clear quantitative indicators, and it is impossible to accurately measure the quality of everyone's work, so it can be promoted, and it can be recognized by everyone, suddenly losing everything, it is still unbearable. ”

"Xiaomin, since you said so, then you do a good job, there are no fetters, you can do a good job more attentively, do you know what I am most worried about, that is, the relationship between you and Xiaohui, affecting your work and future, now it seems that my worries are a little redundant, you work in the provincial government office, there is no intersection between you and Secretary Cheng, almost rely on your own ability to do the work. ”

"Dad, you said that the relationship between me and Xiaohui is over, will Uncle Cheng have any other opinions? ”

"Don't think about it so much, you work by Vice Governor Liu's side, just do your job with peace of mind, you still have a long way to go, I am most at ease with you is the economy, you are not short of money, and you don't need to reach out, this is very important, as for Secretary Cheng, you don't have to worry... ”

Before Liao Zexi finished speaking, Liao Fanmin's expression became a little serious.

Seeing Liao Fanmin's expression, Liao Zexi spoke meaningfully.

"Xiaomin, I reminded you a long time ago, whether it is a government unit or doing business, the focus is on maximizing interests, there is no love and hate for no reason in this world, Secretary Cheng doesn't have too many things to worry about, but Section Chief Luo can't say it clearly. ”

"Dad, what do you mean by that? ”

"Chief Luo is very optimistic about you, and has regarded you as a son-in-law, because of Xiaohui's insistence, she has also wavered, and hopes that you can follow Xiaohui to the United States, but this idea was denied by Secretary Cheng, Secretary Cheng, like me, works in government agencies, understands the rules here, and knows that you can't go to the United States. ”

"What Dad means is, is it very likely that Chief Luo will hold a grudge. ”

"I can't say for sure, but we need to be prepared accordingly, women's minds are incomparable with men's, and they may not be able to see in many things. ”

"Dad, I see. ”

"It's good to know, Xiaohui is the daughter of Chief Luo after all, something like this happened, Chief Luo is still biased towards Xiaohui in the end, I can predict that the words of the breakup must be said directly by you, Xiaohui won't say, girls always have deeper affection, Xiaohui is thinking about you going to the United States, although her decision is a little selfish, but Xiaohui is sincere to you, you are different, when you go to college, you show your ambition, or ambition, let you give up your career for the sake of your family, that is impossible。 ”

Liao Fanmin was a little embarrassed, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, although he was reborn, the things in his bones were still seen by his father.

"Xiaomin, what is the relationship between you and Shen Yaling, and Xue Chuling. ”

Liao Fanmin thought for a moment and answered.

"Dad, Shen Yaling and I are college classmates, we have a good relationship, Shen Yaling's father Shen Zukang is the chairman of Feixiang Group, and he has shares in Minhui Logistics Company and Feiya Real Estate Company, but we are not in a romantic relationship, as for me and Xue Chuling, there is no relationship. ”

"Do you mean that after breaking off with Xiaohui, will you fall in love with Shen Yaling. ”

Liao Fanmin nodded and expressed his affirmation.

"Tell me why. ”

"In fact, when I was in college, Shen Yaling also had the opportunity to study in the United States, but after learning that I gave up the opportunity to study abroad, Shen Yaling also gave up and resolutely stayed, and because I stayed in Nanhua City to work, Shen Yaling gave up the opportunity to return to Hangzhou and also stayed in Nanhua City to work, and we have an unusual tacit understanding... ”

"So, did you and Shen Yaling already have that meaning? ”

"I can't say that, I clearly told Shen Yaling that if Cheng Yahui chooses to return to China, I will marry Cheng Yahui and start a family, and we will live for the rest of our lives. ”

As a result, Xiaohui insisted on staying in the United States, it seems that Shen Yaling's vision is good, and she knows that Xiaohui wants to stay in the United States. ”

"Dad, you can't look at Shen Yaling like this, Shen Yaling and Xiaohui are different, Xiaohui is ambitious, or ambitious, Shen Yaling is different, family-oriented, not much career, this is also due to their different family environment, Shen Yaling's mother is a housewife, with a gentle personality, and has been in charge of housework all her life, which has a great influence on Shen Yaling, but Xiaohui is different, and the family environment prompts her to have an unusual dedication. ”

"Xiaomin, you are quite good at analysis, I heard your words, how do you feel that you have already made plans. ”

"Dad, I told the truth in front of you, I didn't hide it, and when I heard your words, I felt that I shouldn't say it. ”

"Boy, what should not be said, I always support you, getting married and starting a family is a big thing, it is very important for men, in fact, when Xiaohui decided to stay in the United States, I also felt that your relationship could not be maintained, Xiaohui's dedication is too strong, if the two of you come together, there will be no sense of home, there is always a distinction between priority and subordination in the family, the traditional understanding of society is that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, if both of them are running around for the cause, then there is no need to start a family. ”

Liao Fanmin had a smile on his face.

"Don't laugh, I can remind you, the next relationship must be handled well, don't make any mistakes, for your business, your mother is also heartbroken, today I rushed to Nanhua City, your mother urged me to be impatient. ”

"What does Mom think? ”

"As I thought, your mother is family-oriented, and understands the importance of family better than me. ”

"That's good, I don't have any burden. ”

"Xiaomin, remember, in the future, you must know the trade-offs, not only in the family, but also in the work, your current situation, it is unlikely that you will continue to worry about the company's affairs, I originally planned to let Yaoyao go to the company to do things, but Yaoyao also has her own choice, your mother and I will not be reluctant, the company's affairs, you have to think of a good way to deal with it." ”
