Chen Qingdong's father Chen Weimin is a Chinese teacher in Liulin No. 1 Middle and High School, his mother Wang Xiuying is a retired employee of the county post office, and his brother Chen Hongbing is a veteran.

After Chen Hongbing got married, he moved to the two houses that his father bought in the unit while taking advantage of the tide of housing reform, while Chen Qingdong lived in the old house in the southern suburbs with his father, mother, and sister, because his eldest brother's small restaurant was also in the southern suburbs, so after selling barbecue stalls late in the summer, his eldest brother often did not return to his own house and came to spend the night in the old house.

When Chen Qingdong returned home on a motorcycle, it was already half past nine, and before he entered the door, he heard his father's voice reprimanding his brother.

"You are such a big person, just open your restaurant well, what kind of fight with those ruffians and hooligans? Can you afford to fight? If you hurt someone, can you afford to pay for medical expenses? If you go to prison again, you let Xiaolan and Huzi drink the northwest wind? You still served as a soldier, I think you are no different from those ruffians and hooligans now!" Chen Weimin did not regard Chen Hongbing, who was nearly 30 years old, as an adult, and still scolded him like a student.

Listening to his father's words, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh softly, his father has been a class teacher for more than 20 years, has been conscientious, dedicated the best years to the cause of education, and the annual assessment of the unit has been excellent, but he has not been promoted, and it is estimated that he will survive until retirement, and there is no hope of progress.

Chen Qingdong now understands very well that the reason why his father can't make progress is also very simple, because his character is too stubborn, too bookish and angry, he can't rub sand in his eyes, and he doesn't bother to drill the camp at all, and he stubbornly guards the high school of the reader, "If the water is clear, there is no fish, and if the person is observed, there is no disciple" The ancient precept is not bad at all, and he ended up so tragically in his last life, perhaps it was also affected by his father's character.

"Dad, those bastards came to me to eat and drink for nothing and make trouble, so that I can't continue my business, I don't beat him, do you think I can swallow this breath?" Chen Hongbing, who has been hard since he was a child, has been training in the army for several years, and has become even more unyielding, couldn't help but retort.

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, the three fathers and sons of the old Chen family are all about the same personality, and they never know how to compromise and seek perfection.

"Why did you beat him? If they come to make trouble, you won't call the police? This is the job of the police at the police station, and you don't need to do it for them!" Chen Weimin shouted again with a blue face.

"The people at the police station have a fart!" Chen Hongbing muttered quietly, but he didn't dare to say this sentence in front of his father, so he had to say perfunctorily, "I know, Dad, I'll pay attention in the future." ”

"That's a nice word, I see that you didn't take it to heart at all!" Chen Weimin seemed to have reached menopause, and he still kept teaching lessons.

"Lao Chen, you be quiet, what time is it, let the neighbors hear the joke!" Wang Xiuying said dissatisfiedly, "Xiaobing is also an adult, if you are reasonable, just be reasonable, don't bring the set you trained students in school to your home!"

Although Chen Weimin has a lot of temper, he has never been able to lose his temper in front of his wife Wang Xiuying, because he himself feels guilty deep down, because he has no money and no power, so his wife and children are affected.

Sometimes Chen Weimin will reflect on whether he has done the right thing in his life in the dead of night, but in the end, he must think that he has done the right ...... Because he has to think so, real life has been very unsuccessful, the word "wind and bones" is his last spiritual sustenance, if these two words collapse again, he really doesn't know how to live his life in the future.

At this time, Chen Qingdong pushed open the door and walked in.

"Xiaodong is back. Wang Xiuying greeted her happily as she spoke.

"Well, Mom, Dad, Brother. Chen Qingdong greeted him as if he hadn't heard anything.

Seeing Chen Qingdong, Chen Weimin's face softened a lot, compared to the eldest son who has been naughty since he was a child, the second son has been a lot more angry, from childhood to adulthood, his academic performance is among the best, and his conduct is good, after graduating from university, he was successfully admitted to the civil service, although he is now in the township, but he is also a national cadre, and he will be promoted to be a leader in the future, and he will definitely be better than himself.

However, although he was very satisfied with Chen Qingdong in his heart, Chen Weimin was not a person who liked to express his feelings, so he still said with some chokedness: "Come back early in the future and see what time it is, the world is so chaotic now, what should I do if something happens?"

"Well, I know Dad, I will definitely come back early in the future. Chen Qingdong said.

"Hmm. Chen Weimin nodded with satisfaction.

Wang Xiuying said: "Okay, it's almost ten o'clock, Xiaodong will go to the town tomorrow to report for duty, go to rest early, take care of his spirits, and leave a good impression on the leaders and colleagues of the unit tomorrow." ”

"Got it, Dad, Mom, you guys should rest early. Chen Qingdong said.

Chen Weimin nodded slightly at Chen Qingdong, showing a hint of a smile, and then glared at his eldest son again, then shook the coat he was wearing and walked into the hall.

"There doesn't seem to be much hot water in the solar energy, so I'll get you some cold water, mix it with hot water, and take a shower. Wang Xiuying said and walked towards the self-built bathroom in the courtyard.

There were only two brothers left in the yard, Chen Qingdong handed the eldest brother a double happiness and asked, "Are you okay, brother?"

"It's okay, just the lame Sun and the black-haired ruffians came to my restaurant to eat the overlord meal, damn, it's beautiful! I've called them more than once. Chen Hongbing said indifferently, "If he dares to make trouble again, I will repair him!"

In the bright and dim light of the cigarette, looking at his brother's depressed face because of his discouragement, Chen Qingdong said: "Brother, it is not a long-term way for you and Brother Hong Tao to open this restaurant, have you thought of any other way out?" ”

Chen Hongbing glanced at his younger brother and said with a smile: "I also want to change my livelihood, but there is no good way, and I don't have any money under my hands." Second, you have a good brain, and you are a college student, you have seen the world, do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Qingdong said: "Our Liulin is too poor, the economy can't develop, and some ways to make money in big cities may not be suitable for us." However, on the other hand, we are in a waste here now, as long as we grasp the opportunity, it is not impossible to make money. ”

Chen Hongbing flicked off the ashes and said: "Hey, second brother, you who are reading are just verbose and smelly, if you have any good ideas, just say it directly." ”

Wang Xiuying had already made water at this time, came out of the bathroom, and happened to hear the eldest son's words that included his father, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaobing, how do you talk about this?"

Chen Hongbing swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to speak.

"Xiaodong, the water is adjusted, hurry up and take a bath, it will be cold in a while. Wang Xiuying said again.

"Okay, Mom, I'll wash this cigarette after I smoke. Chen Qingdong said with a smile.

Chen Xiuying shook her head and entered the house.

Chen Qingdong took a hard puff of his cigarette, and his dark eyes became brighter.

On the way home on his motorcycle, he had already thought about it. Now God has given me the opportunity to rewrite my life, and I must take advantage of it. There seem to be a lot of roads paved in front of you now, but in fact, there are only two more realistic ones, either to take a career or to do business.

However, he really didn't have much interest in business, and because of the frustration and resentment in his previous life, he desperately wanted to break through the world in his career.

After a lifetime of training, Chen Qingdong now understands a famous saying in officialdom: If you want to be an official, you must first be a man. Of course, this is not to make one's character higher, but to enhance one's communication skills and expand one's network.

It's just that people in officialdom are very realistic, and it's not so easy to make friends and expand your network, if you don't have anything on you that others can "use", who has so much time to care about you?

Nowadays, I don't have any family background, and my job is an ordinary person in a remote township, so even if I want to make friends and expand my network, I'm afraid most of the time it's just a hot face to stick to someone else's cold ass.

Therefore, the most urgent thing now is to find a place in yourself that others can "use"!

After thinking about it, he set this goal on his brother Chen Hongbing.

Now my brother's life is also very frustrated, the small restaurant can't make a few dollars, there are little hooligans to make trouble, and every once in a while, there are various law enforcement departments such as industry and commerce, health, and so on to inspect, which is very annoying! Because of this, sister-in-law Yang Yulan doesn't take her brother very seriously, and she doesn't give him a good face, which is also the reason why my brother is often reluctant to go home and comes to live in the old house.

If you let your brother grasp an opportunity, make a lot of money, and become a big boss, this will not only give my brother a new life, but the whole family will also benefit from it!

Moreover, if my brother becomes a well-known entrepreneur in Liulin, a poor county, and makes a few big projects that can drive the economic development of Liulin and enhance the image of Liulin, then he will be the guest of honor of the county leaders, and his status will naturally rise, and he will have capital that can be "used" by others!

In addition, Chen Qingdong also knows very well that after becoming an official and having power, it is indispensable to deal with money, if the concentration is not enough, it is easy to make mistakes in this regard, and there are many very capable officials who have failed to pass the "money" level and have ended up in a tragic end. But if you have money in the first place, you don't have to worry about being knocked down by sugar-coated shells, let alone making mistakes for money.

This time, you must try your best to go far enough, then it becomes very important to take care of your feathers!

The career is long, and there will be a lot of places to use money in the future, and with my brother's capital as a backer, I will be able to do things with ease in the future.

It's a win-win-win thing.

Chen Qingdong had the experience of working for a short time in an enterprise in Shuangshan Town in his previous life, although he was already disheartened with his career at that time and did not worry much about work, but some grassroots bosses in Shuangshan Town used the natural resources of Shuangshan Town to get rich overnight, and he was still very clear.

It's just that he has just been reborn, and he doesn't know if the situation in Shuangshan Town is like this, so he can't tell his brother his specific plans now, and he needs to be determined after an on-the-spot investigation in Shuangshan Town.

Therefore, Chen Qingdong exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Brother, don't worry, I just came out of school now, and I don't know much about our situation here. ”

Chen Hongbing actually didn't expect his younger brother to say any good ideas to make money all at once, but he didn't have a high education, and he had a good brain since he was a child, and his younger brother who also studied in undergraduate college was a little admired, so he nodded and said: "Cheng, second, you have to worry about this matter for me." ”
