After receiving Cheng Yijie's call, Liao Fanmin's brain was a little wooden, because of the relationship with Cheng Yahui, Liao Fanmin took an evasive attitude towards Cheng Zhenlin, Luo Yuhua and Cheng Yijie, and never thought of inviting them to his wedding.

Putting down the phone, Liao Fanmin looked at Shen Yaling, who was cleaning the room, and spoke with some difficulty.

"Wife, I'm going out to eat in the afternoon, you can go to your parents' place for dinner."

"Husband, is there something wrong?"

"I just received a call from a friend who didn't have time to attend our wedding because he was in Beijing, so he must get together with me in the afternoon to congratulate him in person."

"I see, but remember, try not to drink."

Shen Yaling didn't ask which friend it was, which made Liao Fanmin feel a little guilty in his heart, you must know that Shen Yaling is still a little sensitive to Cheng Yahui, and there must be a shadow in her heart.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Fanmin and Shen Yaling went out at the same time, Liao Fanmin was heading towards the outside of the community, and Shen Yaling was heading in the direction of Building C.

Cheng Yijie waited in the private room, all the dishes were put on the table, and the wine bottle was opened.

"Liao Fanmin, the newlyweds are happy, if it weren't for the holiday, go to the New Century Company to have a look, I don't know that you held a wedding."

Liao Fanmin sat down opposite Cheng Yijie and looked at Cheng Yijie with a wine glass.

In Liao Fanmin's impression, Cheng Yijie is a little casual, but the quality is definitely good, and he is righteous, at the beginning, Cheng Yijie wanted to meddle in the business of New Century Company and Hongda Construction Company, that is, he wanted to make money, and there was no intention of buying and selling, and Cheng Yijie later understood that this way of relying on power to do things is not good.

As for Cheng Yijie's later reliance on the New Century Company to do business in Beijing, it was Liao Fanmin who took the initiative to help contact him.

"I know you're newly married, and it's not suitable for drinking, if you can't drink, forget it, I'm glad you can come."

Liao Fanmin, who had never spoken and didn't know what to say, picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled the glass in front of him.

"Brother Cheng, I don't explain, everything is in this glass of wine."

When Liao Fanmin picked up the wine glass, Cheng Yijie waved his hand, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and poured it into his own glass.

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses in one go.

When he put down the wine glass, Cheng Yijie opened his mouth expressionlessly.

"Liao Fanmin, if you want to say congratulations to you in my heart, I am a little embarrassed, and I don't say such hypocritical words, but if I want to say that I hate you, it doesn't exist, I have lived to be thirty years old, and I should understand some things, although I have a lot of friends, but there are not many friends who can really speak, I know that some people are coming for my father, you are my real brother."

When he said this, Cheng Yijie showed excitement.

Liao Fanmin was very calm, did not speak, and looked at Cheng Yijie.

"You and Shen Yaling got married, my mother has a lot of opinions on this matter, my father didn't say anything in particular, I think it's normal, it's normal for you and Shen Yaling to get married, Xiaohui doesn't have that blessing, and I will give up if I change it, but I think you got married too quickly, which makes me a little angry."

"Of course, it's your freedom to get married, and I shouldn't have said that."

Cheng Yijie said this, Liao Fanmin was finally a little moved, the only guilt in his heart was the arrangement of time, and Cheng Yahui really broke up with Cheng Yahui for only about a year, and he married Shen Yaling, but the reality of the situation forced him to hold a wedding as soon as possible, there is an unwritten rule in officialdom, people who are not married, regardless of age, will always be considered immature, hairy boys and little girls.

Cheng Yijie raised his glass again.

Liao Fanmin also raised his glass.

"Anyway, I still wish you happiness, although you and I don't have the chance to become a family, but we are still good friends."

Liao Fanmin finally spoke.

"Brother Cheng, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Luo are okay."

"Generally, it's okay, my father was transferred to work in the province, there is nothing specific to do, I should be able to rest for a while, my mother estimates that she will not go to work in a short time, and she is just recuperating her body."

Liao Fanmin was dumbfounded, he felt that the topic just now was not good, Cheng Zhenlin was adjusted from the post of secretary of the municipal party committee to the provincial people's congress, it was strange that he was in a good mood, not to mention Luo Yuhua, I don't know how many bad things he said.

However, the topic has been raised, and it can't be taken back, so Liao Fanmin has to say it.

"Brother Cheng, if you have time, you should accompany Uncle Cheng and Aunt Luo more, they are older, and they will be lonely if there is no one around them, Cheng Yahui is abroad, it is rare to come back all year round, and the family only depends on you. . . ."

Before Liao Fanmin finished speaking, Cheng Yijie waved his hand again and again.

"I understand what you mean, I can't do it, I'm a casual person, I can't be idle, I want to stay at home all day, 9 to 5, that's tantamount to my life, when I first entered the work of the organ, I felt that I couldn't do it, I worked in the Planning Commission for a few years, I felt uncomfortable, after I went to Beijing, I felt free, but no, there are always people in charge, it used to be good to say, enjoy the privilege will not say anything, now it is not good, I also have to be conscious, depending on the situation, in case I don't adapt, I plan to resign, or find something to do by myself."

Liao Fanmin shook his head slightly.

"Brother Cheng, I shouldn't have interfered with your choice, but now that you've said this, then I'll say a few more words."

"Say, I'll listen."

"Self-employment is not impossible, now many people choose this, but self-employment requires certain conditions, many times even ruin, and to endure hardships, I know a few entrepreneurial old-timers, when eating is a problem, they do not struggle without food, they can not support their families, so they desperately survived, there are also can't survive, destined to a lifetime down, in comparison, in the unit work, the income is not high can be very stable, if you work at the same time to make money, it will be better, If you are really ready to give up your job and start a business, you should be cautious. ”

"I know you're going to say that, I'm also thinking about it, it's not as good as before, I also have to weigh two pounds, to be honest, I can't keep up with your pace in business, I don't have your talent in terms of being an official, if you and Xiaohui are really married, I don't care what I do, I have you as a backer, it's a pity."

Cheng Yijie let out a long sigh.

"Brother Cheng, don't talk about my business, I still hope you think carefully, maybe because of the change in the environment, it is difficult to adapt for a while, but after a long time, it will get better slowly, there are not many things in the office, and the work is not busy, and you can still find other things to do in your spare time."

"Don't mention it, I don't plan to go to New Century Company to do things anymore, I'm embarrassed to go, or slowly mix in the office, in case I can't mix it up one day, I'll go back to Fandu."

"Brother Cheng, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask, I will do my best."

Cheng Yijie raised his glass.

"Let's have a toast to you, though I don't plan to trouble you in the future."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Cheng Yijie's face was slightly red.

"Remember Chen Honglin, every time I go home, I will follow him, one of the members of the princelings of Fandu City, because he was forced to have a relationship with other girls in the vocational college, and there was a big turmoil."

Liao Fanmin nodded silently, of course he knew about it.

"Chen Honglin was arrested this time, the thing he did was re-investigated, I actually broke out in a cold sweat, I was eating, drinking and having fun with Chen Honglin, I felt that it didn't matter, when I drank too much, I might also mess with other girls, and Chen Honglin also planned to introduce me to the girls who were studying in the vocational college, how old are those girls, I don't understand anything, I really want to listen to Chen Honglin's nonsense, I'm afraid I will squat in."

"Brother Cheng, you won't do these things."

"Not necessarily, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, if it weren't for the good relationship with you later, always thinking that they can't compare to you, taking you as the goal, and working hard for a while, I'm afraid it's like that, just say Chen Honglin, the quality is not so bad, it's not the heinous that some people say, it's just that no one cares about it at ordinary times, and you can do what you want, and there are people behind you, so there is such a big trouble."

Liao Fanmin nodded, he thought of Luo Yuanyuan.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you one thing, didn't Xiaohui have contact with Chen Wei some time ago, and now the two have cut off contact, it was Chen Wei who took the initiative to cut off contact, and I also went home after I just learned the news, this Chen Wei, don't let me meet, or I'll pluck his skin."

"In this way, I think it's a good thing, and Chen Wei is not very good."

"Yes, I also think it's a good thing, if Xiaohui and Chen Wei are really together, when my father suddenly retires, I don't know what happened, in fact, Xiaohui stays in the United States, I don't particularly object, since I choose to run for a career, then work hard with peace of mind, don't want to get everything, it's impossible."

After drinking a bottle of wine, Cheng Yijie did not continue to take the wine.

In less than half an hour, the meal was over, which was not possible before.

Cheng Yijie took out a thick envelope from his handbag and placed it on the table.

"Liao Fanmin, I was not able to participate in your marriage, it's a pity, this is my heart, you must accept it, don't shirk it, I'm a straight person, I treat you as a brother, no matter what happens between you and Xiaohui, no matter what you think of me, I'm like that anyway."

Liao Fanmin did not refuse, and took the envelope.

"Brother Cheng, thank you."

Walking out of the restaurant and watching Cheng Yijie leave in a taxi, Liao Fanmin looked up at the sky and let out a long breath.

The tacit understanding in the past is gone, Cheng Yijie is right, people always have to make trade-offs in life, they can get everything, and in the end they can't get anything.

I don't know if Cheng Yahui understands this truth.
