During the publicity period, although Chen Qingdong was talked to by Liu Qi once, there was no danger, nothing happened, and his going to Chenqiao Town to serve as the party secretary was finally completely determined. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Almost the day after the end of the publicity period, Chen Qingdong's hometown, the old house in the southern suburbs of the county where his parents lived, suddenly became lively.

Every day, there will be a lot of uninvited guests at his house, carrying large bags of things, with a smile on his face, and saying the names of those who introduced them, and come to Chen Qingdong's parents' house to worship Menzi.

Chen Qingdong's father is usually very busy with work and is rarely at home, so it is usually his mother Wang Xiuying who receives these people.

At the beginning, Wang Xiuying didn't know that Chen Qingdong had become the party secretary of Chenqiao Town, and she had never experienced this situation, she didn't know what it meant, and she heard those people who came to worship the door say that they seemed to be very familiar with Chen Qingdong and had anything to do with it, and thought that these were Chen Qingdong's friends, or their old relatives of the old Chen family, so they would enthusiastically leave people to drink tea and chat with others enthusiastically about family life.

For the gifts brought by others, Wang Xiuying will also keep half of them and return half of them to others like the old tradition, but how can those who come to worship Menzi bring things and take them away, so they all resolutely rejected Wang Xiuying's kindness to let them take away some things, but repeatedly told Wang Xiuying to tell Chen Qingdong who had come.

Chen Qingdong rarely goes back to his parents' house, so he didn't know about it at first. On the first day, Wang Xiuying did not tell Chen Qingdong about this.

But the next day, there were still people in their family who came to the door with cigarettes, alcohol and gifts, and they all asked Wang Xiuying to tell Chen Qingdong about what they had visited, Wang Xiuying felt that this matter was too unusual, and after discussing it with Chen Weimin, she called Chen Qingdong and said about it.

After Chen Qingdong heard them talk about this situation on the phone, he immediately understood what was going on, he was a little crying and laughing, but these things were not clear on the phone, so he immediately rushed home.

Back at home, Chen Qingdong saw the serious expressions on his parents' faces, and the gifts that had been piled up in half of the room, and Wang Xiuying also wrote down the names of these gift givers very carefully in a small notebook.

Chen Weimin has played the image of a "strict father" in front of them since Chen Qingdong was still young, and he can't change it after a long time, so although Chen Qingdong and his brothers have grown up now, and they are all successful in their careers, Chen Weimin still looks very strict in front of them.

Chen Weimin threw the small notebook to Chen Qingdong, and asked with a dark face: "Xiaodong, tell me, what the hell is going on? Have you done something bad outside? How can these people send things to our house for no reason?"

Because Chen Qingdong didn't tell his parents in time that he had become the secretary of the Party Committee of Chenqiao Town, his parents were so worried, so he said embarrassedly: "Dad, Mom, don't be angry, don't worry, I didn't do anything bad, you sit down first and listen to me explain to you." ”

Wang Xiuying never believed that her children would do bad things, so she said angrily: "Old man, what are you talking nonsense! Xiaodong, you still don't understand, what bad things can he do? Besides, if he does bad things, people can still send things to our house? Let's sit down and listen to Xiaodong tell us what's going on?"

Chen Weimin didn't dare to quarrel with Wang Xiuying, so he sat down with a cold face.

Chen Qingdong smiled at his mother gratefully, and then said: "Dad, Mom, let me tell you something, you should be mentally prepared first, don't get excited!"

Although Chen Qingdong said that they should not be excited, Chen Weimin's expression immediately became nervous, and he said: "If there is anything, you can say it, what to sell!"

Wang Xiuying also said nervously: "Xiaodong, what is the matter? A good thing or a bad thing? Your father and I are both old, but we can't stand the scare!"

Chen Qingdong couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Mom, don't worry, it's a good thing! Dad, Mom, I have just been appointed by the organization as the secretary of the party committee of Chenqiao Town! The appointment and dismissal documents have been issued, and the day before yesterday passed the publicity period, and this matter is settled! These people who came to our house with things should all be people who work or do business in Chenqiao Town, and they all came to our house to worship the men!"

Chen Qingdong thought that after he said this, his parents would be very excited, this was a somewhat weighty official from their family! But he didn't expect that after saying this, his parents didn't even react, as if they didn't understand what he said.

Chen Qingdong said again: "Dad, Mom, did you hear what I said clearly?"

Wang Xiuying listened to Chen Qingdong's words, her body trembled, but she didn't speak, but looked at Chen Weimin next to her!

Chen Weimin's face, which was still very nervous, was slowly filled with surprise, slowly opened his mouth, and said in a weak tone: "Xiaodong, what did you just say?"

Chen Qingdong knew that his parents were shocked by his words, so he repeated: "Dad, Mom, you heard me right, the organization sent me to Chenqiao Town to be the secretary of the party committee, the document has come out, and the publicity period has passed!"

"The organization asked you to go to Chenqiao Town to be the party secretary?, such a young party secretary?" Chen Weimin asked in amazement.

"Yes, Dad, organizationally let me go to Chenqiao Town to be the secretary of the party committee, the youngest township party secretary in our county!" Chen Qingdong said proudly!

In front of his parents, he finally doesn't have to be so careful and low-key anymore!

The youngest township party secretary in Liulin County, which he obtained through his own efforts, he is qualified to be so proud!

He wants his parents to share this pride with him!

Chen Weimin slowly stood up and stretched out his right hand.

Chen Qingdong thought that Chen Weimin would be like when he first learned the news, and waved a few times in mid-air excitedly!

However, what Chen Qingdong didn't expect was that Chen Weimin did not clench his fists and cheer, but slapped him on the arm and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, your wings are really hard! You dare not tell us about such a big thing! If someone doesn't come to our house to give gifts this time, how long will you hide from us!"

Chen Qingdong was a little stunned by Chen Weimin's slap, but Wang Xiuying immediately jumped up, grabbed Chen Weimin, and scolded: "You dead old man! Xiaodong has become an official, what a good thing this is! It's too late for us to be happy for him, why are you beating him!"

Chen Weimin, who had never dared to speak out loud in front of Wang Xiuying, pointed at Chen Qingdong uncharacteristically this time and said loudly: "You ask him, there are still two of us in his eyes! He is going to be the secretary of the party committee, and he is going to be a big official, is there no us in his eyes?!"

Wang Xiuying took Chen Weimin's arm and said anxiously: "Dead old man, what are you talking nonsense!"

Chen Qingdong, who was scolded by his father, looked at his parents' faces and suddenly realized that what his father said was not wrong, in fact, he really didn't put his parents in his heart for a long time!

Over the past two years, I have been working hard for the progress of my career, building relationships, building contacts, running enterprises, and making political achievements...... Every step he has taken is paving the way for his career to move forward, and everyone he has met is a person who has helped him to progress in his career, and he is a member of his network of contacts that is slowly building and slowly growing.

In this network of people that is slowly getting bigger, only those who are important and helpful to them will spend time to build relationships with them, and those who are not important are selectively abandoned by themselves, even including their parents.

Before this, I really hadn't cared about how my parents were doing for a long time, whether they were in good health, whether they were happy or not.

Just like after he was appointed as the secretary of the party committee of Chenqiao Town this time, from beginning to end, he didn't think about telling his parents about it, or even didn't have this awareness at all, and the reason was very simple, that is, he already subconsciously thought that his parents couldn't help him at all, so it didn't make sense to tell them.

In other words, in my subconscious, in fact, my parents have become people who are not important to me and can be ignored!

At this moment, Chen Qing realized that he didn't know when he had become a complete "mercenary" utilitarian!

Chen Qingdong understands that since he is determined to take the road of official career, and he wants to go as far as possible, he can only strip away those people and relationships that are not important to him, and only keep the people and relationships that are beneficial to him, and slowly become a completely rational and cold-blooded politician who is completely interest-oriented!

Whoever wants to wear a crown must bear its weight.

This is the price you have to pay.

But Chen Qingdong still wants to make up for it as much as possible, although he can't take care of everyone, but at least, he still has to take care of his parents and family as much as possible!

Thinking of this, Chen Qingdong's heart was surging, and he knelt down in front of Chen Weimin with a "plop" and said: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry! This time it's really too late for me to tell you! The main thing is that this time Secretary Xu appointed me as the secretary of the Party Committee of Chenqiao Town, which is not in line with the convention, and we are under a lot of pressure. I'm going to keep it a secret from everyone just to be on the safe side. I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, I didn't think it through, I should have told you first!"

Wang Xiuying helped Chen Qingdong up and said: "I know that there is a reason! You kid, if you tell us a reason, what are you still kneeling for! Even if you only tell us now, we don't think it's too late, we are all happy and proud for you! Don't care about your father's brains, I don't know what kind of wind is smoking today!"

Chen Weimin was obviously a little embarrassed, but for the sake of face, he deliberately maintained that serious expression and said, "Since there is a reason, then I won't say anything about you." However, Xiaodong, you have to remember that if there is anything in the future, you must tell us. If you don't even trust your parents, who else can you trust?"

Chen Qingdong knew that his parents were no longer angry, and Ma Shan said happily: "Dad, Mom, I know, if there is anything in the future, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible." ”

However, after saying this, Chen Qingdong laughed at himself and thought that his current changes were too great, and even the explanation just now was actually lying!
