Before moving the chopsticks, Ding Guangzhi also said two sentences, in addition to wishing Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan to go to the next level in their respective careers in the new year, he also wished the two of them to tie the knot as soon as possible and be happy for a long time.

Today's Ding Guangzhi is very enthusiastic, and after moving the chopsticks, he either persuaded him to drink, or asked Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan to eat more, and kept serving vegetables to the two of them. Xue Fei saw that Ding Guangzhi was so abnormal, and he was like two people in the past, and he didn't feel like he was returning favors, and he began to vaguely feel that Ding Guangzhi had something to ask for, otherwise he really couldn't explain why.

During the meal, they were chatting all the time, and because of their curiosity about the host's work, Xue Hui and Ding Guangzhi asked Qu Yuanyuan a lot of things about the host's behind-the-scenes, and Qu Yuanyuan answered them all one by one.

The child couldn't eat much, Xin'er didn't eat for a while and got off the table to play, running back and forth in the living room, a little noisy, so Xue Hui quickly put away the chopsticks and pulled Xin'er into the room, and there were three people left in front of the table.

Ding Guangzhi seems to have changed suddenly, he is no longer as talkative as before, at this time he always gives people a look of something to say, but it seems that he has scruples, which leads to the desire to stop talking, which Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan can see.

"Yuanyuan, don't you like Xin'er very much, you go into the house to have a look, when you go to work, you can't see it anymore." Xue Fei gave Qu Yuanyuan a look and said.

Qu Yuanyuan understood and said, "Yes, I'll take a good look at it now, so as to save thinking about her when the time comes." Brother-in-law, you and Xue Fei eat slowly. After speaking, Qu Yuanyuan got up and entered the house.

"Brother-in-law, do you have anything to say?" Xue Fei looked at Ding Guangzhi and asked, he felt that Ding Guangzhi should be hindered by Qu Yuanyuan's difficulty in speaking.

"No, I don't have much to say. Come, drink. Ding Guangzhi raised his glass and denied.

Xue Fei didn't believe Ding Guangzhi's words, he raised his wine glass and touched Ding Guangzhi, and took a sip.

Putting down the wine glass, Ding Guangzhi said: "Xue Fei, to be honest, since I have known you, you can be said to have surprised me many times." ”

Xue Fei didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

"After graduating from Huaqing University, I didn't apply what I learned and went to be a driver, which I didn't expect. After two years as a driver, I came back to take the civil service exam, which I didn't expect. I didn't expect to be promoted so quickly after being admitted to the civil service. You're such an amazing person. Ding Guangzhi praised.

"Hehe, everyone's situation is different, and some things can't just look at the surface, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing." Xue Fei didn't want to talk to Ding Guangzhi about him in detail, but he just clicked to the point, the purpose was to tell Ding Guangzhi that there was no need to envy him, and his position to this day was actually not what he wanted.

Ding Guangzhi did not have a lofty vision, let alone an understanding of the essence, so he failed to understand Xue Fei's words correctly, he thought that what Xue Fei said was different from people, referring to the gap between him and Xue Fei, there was no comparison, not at the same level, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

When Xue Fei wanted to take the civil service exam, Ding Guangzhi was very unsightly, in his opinion, studying well does not mean that he can be admitted to the civil service, these are two different things, even if he can be admitted, is the officialdom so easy to mix? Taking him as an example, he thinks that he is good enough to drill the camp, and he has only been at the deputy section level for many years, Xue Fei's family has no power and no money, why should he go to the officialdom? But the reality slapped him in the face again and again, and it snapped.

In just over four years, he has gone from a section member to a director level, and the speed of this promotion made Ding Guangzhi dumbfounded. If it continues to develop at this rate, the level that Xue Fei finally reaches is unimaginable, which also makes Ding Guangzhi, who has always considered himself superior in the Xue family, envious and jealous, and even some hatred.

How did Xue Fei do it? Ding Guangzhi has been thinking about this question for a long time.

has been in officialdom for many years, Ding Guangzhi knows the rules of the game in officialdom too well, if a person wants to get the opportunity to be promoted, ability is one of the factors, but more important is the connection, sometimes the relationship is even more important than ability, so after thinking about it, Ding Guangzhi thinks that the reason why Xue Fei will rise so quickly must be the person behind it, and he is also a big man, otherwise the general level will never be able to do it.

But who is this man? How did Xue Fei meet? He couldn't figure it out.

"Xue Fei, you tell your brother-in-law the truth, who has been helping you behind your back?" Ding Guangzhi asked.

"No one is helping me." Xue Fei said truthfully.

"It's okay for you to lie to others, but it's not interesting for you to lie to your brother-in-law. Although your brother-in-law is not as high-level as you, he is also a person in the officialdom, and no one helps you, can you get to this level and position today? Empathy, do you believe it? ”

Xue Fei really didn't believe it, but the reality was that no one helped him, he couldn't see Ye Liangchen's suppression of him as helping him, right?

"Brother-in-law, our family doesn't talk to each other, if someone really helps me, is it necessary for me to hide it from you? Not really. ”

Ding Guangzhi smiled disappreciatively, he obviously didn't believe it: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, if you don't have it, you won't have it, but my brother-in-law has something to ask you, you can't help me." ”

"What are you going to do?" Xue Feixin said, I knew you wouldn't call me over for dinner for no reason.

"When you didn't take the civil service exam, I was the deputy director of the Guanhe District Health Bureau, and now you are at the department level, and I am still at the deputy section level, and I have not made any progress at all. Recently, the number one leader in our bureau is about to move the nest, and several deputy directors are eyeing the position of the director, your brother-in-law is either incapable, or lacks a person who can pull a hand, you have to pull me. "Ding Guangzhi asked Xue Fei to come over for dinner today for two purposes, one is to find out who Xue Fei's backer is, and the other is to let Xue Fei help him become the head of the Health Bureau.

Xue Fei felt very embarrassed when he heard this: "Brother-in-law, this is the first time you have opened your mouth to beg me to do something, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't refuse." But I have to tell you the truth, there's really nothing I can do about your promotion. ”

Ding Guangzhi frowned slightly and asked, "Why?" ”

"I'm at the department level now, but I'm not in charge of personnel, you should know how much power I have as the secretary general, how can I have the ability to decide your promotion." Xue Fei can't even protect himself now, and he can't take care of Ding Guangzhi at all. Even if he has nothing to do now, with his prestige and ability in the Seven Rivers officialdom, he can't help Ding Guangzhi.

"So you don't want to help me?" Ding Guangzhi knew that it was difficult for Xue Fei to help him, but the person behind Xue Fei would definitely be able to, it was a matter of Xue Fei's words, it depended on whether Xue Fei wanted to help him or not.

"It's not that I don't want to, I'm powerless."

"Okay, you don't have to say it, just as if I didn't say anything." Ding Guangzhi picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and the three words unhappy were all written on his face.

Xue Fei sighed lightly when he saw this, and didn't say anything more.

Coming out of Xue Hui Ding Guangzhi's house, Qu Yuanyuan saw that Xue Fei's face was not very good, so she asked him what was wrong? Xue Fei didn't hide it from her, so he told Ding Guangzhi about it, and Qu Yuanyuan didn't say anything after hearing it, but she could especially understand Xue Fei's mood, because things were really embarrassing.

In order to avoid Ding Guangzhi from making irresponsible remarks in front of Xue Rengui and Zhang Fengxia in the future, when he returned home, Xue Fei told Ding Guangzhi about it again, Xue Rengui and Zhang Fengxia agreed that Xue Fei did the right thing, and Ding Guangzhi was not happy if he was not happy, so he didn't have to deal with him.

Xue Rengui and Zhang Fengxia have always had a lot of complaints about Ding Guangzhi's son-in-law, his level is not high, but his temper is not small, he can't get along with the family, and he always bullies Xue Hui when he has nothing to do. Ding Guangzhi usually doesn't do any work at home, Xue Hui not only has to take care of housework, but also picks up Xin'er to school every day, tutors homework, and then goes to work, Ding Guangzhi has not even said a sentence of "hard work" for so many years, but also always satirizes Xue Hui every once in a while, dislikes Xue Hui's low education and has no culture, if it weren't for the sake of his heart, with Xue Rengui's temper, he would have gone to Ding Guangzhi and said, this is a bit too much. Now that Xue Fei is helping him get promoted, Xue Rengui feels that don't say that Xue Fei can't help, even if he can, he won't help him, doesn't he think he is amazing, how good it is to rely on himself, why ask others?

Because of Ding Guangzhi's matter, the next day, Xue Rengui specially called the whole family to the house for dinner, at the dinner table, he clearly told everyone that no matter if you encounter difficulties in life or at work, you must find a way to solve them yourself, don't think that Xue Fei's position in the city government is omnipotent, he is an official to serve the people, not to serve his family, no one should make trouble for Xue Fei, if anyone secretly looks for Xue Fei to do something, let him know, don't blame him for turning his face.

Xue Fei didn't know that Xue Rengui would say this at the dinner table, and when he heard Xue Rengui mention this stubble, he gave Xue Rengui a strong look, signaling him not to say it, just know it in his heart. But Xue Rengui turned a blind eye and said all the words in one go.

Ding Guangzhi was not stupid, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Xue Rengui was talking about him, so he looked at Xue Fei angrily.

Xue Fei saw that Ding Guangzhi didn't look at him with good eyes, and he knew that it was bad, and Ding Guangzhi would definitely hate him this time.

Xue Rengui noticed that Ding Guangzhi was looking at Xue Fei, he snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't care what Ding Guangzhi thought, even if he was dissatisfied, what else could he do to Xue Fei?

With the advancement of urbanization, housing prices in first-tier cities such as Jingtian have begun to rise, and driven by this effect, housing prices in second- and third-tier cities have begun to slowly become hot, and a nationwide large-scale demolition and construction has quietly arrived.

Wu Zhongzheng is a very sensitive business person, when he learned that the real estate industry will involve a number of upstream and downstream industries, he predicted that in the next ten years, or even twenty years, all parts of the country may have to rely on real estate to drive GDP, as the mayor of Qihe, naturally can not let Qihe live in the back, must take the first step, if Qihe's GDP can achieve substantial growth, this will undoubtedly be a glorious achievement of his, not good to the province a happy, a paper order he will go to Bingcheng as an errand.

Therefore, after the year, Wu Zhongzheng proposed at the standing meeting of the municipal party committee that Qihe should also accelerate the urbanization process, so that more people from the county and even the countryside can come to the city to enjoy better resources and live a better life.

Since Wu Zhongzheng's idea was supported by the vast majority of the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, when the municipal government team was at a meeting, Wu Zhongzheng set real estate development as the top priority in the government's work in the new year, and it was necessary to make great efforts to carry out it, and strive to make the city of Qihe take on a new look and even undergo earth-shaking changes within two to three years.

As soon as the news of the construction project spread, those who lived in old houses in Seven Rivers City and those who lived in bungalows around the city were all overjoyed. And the happiest person is undoubtedly the real estate developer, because the rare opportunity to make money in decades has finally arrived, which makes some people who were not in the real estate development business also eager to try, intending to get a piece of the real estate market, including Song Li.

"I heard that you Qihe is going to engage in real estate development?" In the room of the Bingcheng Hotel, Song Li came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and asked while wiping her hair.

"yes, you've heard about that, too?" Wu Zhongzheng's eyes narrowed and looked up and down Song Li's body.

"You are in the position of Seven Rivers, can I not pay attention to the big and small affairs of Seven Rivers. Seriously, when it comes to real estate development, how about I say I'm going to mix it up? Song Li asked tentatively.

"You're in the media, do you know about real estate?"

"I don't understand, but I can find someone who understands to do it for me. I've heard that it doesn't cost much to set up a real estate company, as long as you buy a plot of land, you can pre-sell it, and then get the money to develop it, which can be said to be a profitable, profitable and non-losing business. I want to do real estate development in Seven Rivers, do you agree? ”

"This ......" Wu Zhongzheng hesitated a little.

"Oh, you agree, okay? I want to earn money, and I won't swallow it alone, and your benefits are indispensable......" Song Li hugged Wu Zhongzheng's neck and coquettishly, at this time, the strap of the nightgown on her body suddenly opened, and the two white rabbits wrapped in bras jumped in front of her, and Wu Zhongzheng's eyes instantly straightened, and he couldn't help swallowing water and moistening his dry throat.

Wu Zhongzheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out to unbutton his bra, which provoked Song Li to be coquettish: "I hate it, what are you doing?" ”

"Remove the word "yes", do it!" Wu Zhongzheng took off his bra, picked up Song Li and ran to the bed.

"You haven't agreed to real estate development yet?"

"Promise you, I'll promise you everything......"

Xue Fei's work has not improved as much as he did years ago, and he has become more and more like a nominal secretary general of the municipal government. And although Pan Zhaofeng is a deputy, the work he does is what Xue Fei should do. Although he was in a state of being half-overhead at work, Xue Fei's mentality was very good, he knew that at this time, he had to wait patiently, be patient, and be in a hurry, he would not solve any problems.

After work on Friday night, Xue Fei came out of the office, and when he was about to go home, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Ouyang Jinxiu calling, and he answered the call.

Ouyang Jinxiu said that she was in Bingcheng, and asked Xue Fei to go to Bingcheng to find her now, there was something important. After speaking, without waiting for Xue Fei to speak, he hung up the phone.

Xue Fei glanced at the time, and he could catch the last long-distance bus to Bingcheng, so he took a taxi to the passenger station. On the way, he called home and said that he had gone to Ice City and would not go home for the night.
