It was already three hours later when I arrived in Zhanjiang, and at this time, it was noon - twelve o'clock.

Yuan Mian found a hotel, asked everyone to sit down, and had a meal first.

As soon as she sat down in the chair, Zhang Xiumei proposed to call and ask the Han family's parents if they were free at noon today, and if they were free, they would come over at noon to talk about it first to see how it was.

Yuan Mian agreed and called, but it happened that Deputy Commander Han was still in a meeting at noon, so he was not available, and the specific discussion time could only be changed to the evening.

After the meal, Yuan Mian and the others didn't grind much, first opened four luxury suites in the hotel, and then a few people made up for a nap.

At the banquet venue in the evening, it was still a five-star hotel, which gave the woman a lot of face and was very decent.

Just after eight o'clock, two Toyota cars with military plates stopped downstairs in this big hotel in Chikan District, Han Zheng, Yan Jinglan and his wife, Han Yuchen and Han Yuyao, two brothers and sisters, all arrived.

It's just that Zhang Xiumei temporarily brought a secretary, and the Han family is only a family of four.

"Oh, in-laws, it's been a long time. ”

As soon as he opened the door of the private room, Han Zheng greeted him very warmly.

"yes, it's been a long time, in-laws. Come in and sit down!" Zhang Xiumei showed a kind smile on her face, after all, this is an occasion for relatives to meet, not her cadres, so the atmosphere should be more relaxed.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Han Zheng was not polite, and beckoned his wife and children to sit down.

And Han Yuyao sat next to Yuan Mian, and the two chatted quietly.

"It didn't take long, it was just a moment. Zhang Xiumei said politely.

After sitting down, Han Zheng was not idle, so he introduced Han Yuchen, who had never seen anyone except Yuan Mian: "Yuchen, let me introduce you, this is Yuan Mian's mother, Major General Zhang Xiumei, from the General Political Cadre Department; next to her is Yuan Mian's father, Colonel Yuan Chun, from the General Political Liaison Department; and there is a major who is the deputy director of the office of the Cadre Department." ”

"Hello two chiefs, hello director! I'm Han Yuchen. Han Yuchen smiled and said hello.

"Hehe, he's really a good boy, his father-in-law has a good education. What kind of troops are you doing?" asked Zhang Xiumei.

"I'm in the Marine Corps, chief. Han Yuchen said honestly.

Zhang Xiumei nodded lightly and asked, "You don't need to call the chief, just call the mother-in-law, they are all relatives." Well, Yuchen, right? Are you in the brigade headquarters or in the front-line troops?"

"Oh, my mother, I'm the chief of the Information Operations Section of the Brigade Headquarters. Han Yuchen always had a polite smile on his face.

Zhang Xiumei smiled and observed the young man in front of her, and suddenly asked: "Young man, are you interested in coming to the General Political Department?"

Maybe Chief Zhang Xiumei didn't know how tempting her words were for a young man who was eager to improve: although Han Yuchen was 28 years old, and his promotion speed in the army could be said to be very fast, Han Yuchen's ambition would never let him be the head of an information operations section with peace of mind.

There is still a long way to go, and Han Yuchen doesn't want to spend his whole life in the navy, however, this opportunity has come.

If you are not a member of the army, you will not know how much power the General Political Cadre Department has, and only those who have served in the army will know how difficult it is to transfer troops across military regions, especially for officers.

But the people in the cadre department are different, they are in charge of the cadres of the whole army, just need their words, even if you are the director of a pig farm in the army unit, as long as you still have a military rank on your head, then they will transfer you to the ground crew of the air force as a station commander.

But the premise is, can you be so good that you can alarm the people above? Or is your favor so great that the people in the cadres will buy your favor?

Han Yuchen is not stupid, he knows that he can be in the second-level department of the fourth headquarters with the rank of major general, either the first or the second-in-command, and now, the opportunity to break away from the navy has come, but this opportunity is a little unexpected.

He had also heard his mother say a word before, saying that his brother-in-law's family was quite powerful, but what he never expected was that Yuan Mian's mother was actually still a general? Yuan Mian's father was also good, he was from the General Political Liaison Department, although he was only a colonel, but Han Yuchen knew very well what that department was doing, and if he changed to other departments, a colonel would not be able to escape.

It's just that because that mysterious department is special, it's the rank of colonel.

There are three major intelligence departments in our army: the Second Department of the General Staff Department, the Third Department of the General Staff Department, and the most low-key Department of the General Political Liaison Department.

As a matter of fact, when talking about China's three major intelligence departments, many people only think of the Second Department of the General Staff (Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters), the Third Department of the General Staff (the Technical Reconnaissance Department of the General Staff Headquarters), and the Ministry of State Security, but do not include the General Political Liaison Department among them.

The reason is that the first three are external, and the latter is internal.

After seeing Yuan Mian's family background with his own eyes, Han Yuchen finally put away the trace of contempt for Yuan Mian - no way, the impression that Yuan Mian gave him before was the feeling of being honest with the countrymen, and marrying Han Yuyao was the result of the smoke coming from his ancestral tomb.

For his mother vaguely said that Yuan Mian's family is not simple, he didn't take it to heart: if it is not simple, can it make him feel like he has never seen anything in the world? Although he works hard, he still can't make up for the gap in soft power.

After witnessing Yuan Mian's family strength, Han Yuchen naturally thought that this was Yuan Mian's parents who specially sent him to the deep mountains of the Daxing'an Mountains in order to cultivate Yuan Mian......

In fact, it's no wonder that Han Yuchen thinks so, it's actually very simple, just like in our society - a person, he is very rich, if he wants to send his children to poor rural areas, people will say: Oh, this person is so simple, and when he is rich, he will not forget to let his children experience a hard life.

But if you were a poor man, people would just say, "Look, that poor man doesn't even have the ability to go to school in the city."

This is the gap and the difference, in other words, that is, you have money, power, and everything is right......

Well, back to business.

Han Yuchen didn't give an immediate reply, but just said to think again.

Then the two families began to discuss the marriage of Yuan Mian and Han Yuyao, a young couple, while eating.

After a meal and two or three hours of detailed discussions, the two families finally reached a preliminary agreement on the matter of getting married and holding a banquet: a bride price of 880,000 yuan and three golds; a banquet was held in Beijing; the man's house in the new compound of the cadre department was used as a new house for the two of them; as for the banquet in Beijing, the man was in charge; as for the marriage, the woman was willing to do it; after the marriage, the man would buy another house in Zhanjiang City for the young couple to live in after marriage.

Originally, Han Zheng's family didn't want so many dowries, insisting that it was enough to ask for a maximum of 80,000 as a dowry, anyway, it was just a ceremony.

But Zhang Xiumei refused, so she said at the time: "My Zhang Xiumei's son's wedding must be decent, this is not your Han family and our Yuan family's business, this is also related to the face of the old Zhang family, the wedding of the grandson of the old Zhang family cannot be shabby." ”

Han Zheng couldn't resist Zhang Xiumei's determination, so he had to agree, no way, the words were all said here, what else could he do if he didn't agree?

There is a good saying: love is a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families, or even two families.

The old Zhang family, as a big family in Sijiu City, still can't lose face, if Han Zheng insists on continuing to stubbornly, I'm afraid Zhang Xiumei will have to move the old man out of the town.

As for the house that the woman uses temporarily, it is easy to do, so she will temporarily live in a hotel to act as the first.

There is no way, things are more urgent, and in the era when thrift is the mainstream, the woman can't afford to buy another house in Beijing's second and third ring roads and renovate it as a house for the wedding, right?

It can be said that this negotiation was a happy end, only the corners of Yuan Mian's mouth, who had lived in a poor environment since childhood, twitched a little: just get married, this will almost cost millions, right?

It's distressing to be distressed, but things still have to be done like this, and there is no need to negotiate.
