The reunion dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve was quite lively, and everyone sat around the large round table in the restaurant,

A few bottles of Minister Sun's treasured wine were placed on the table

Minister Sun smiled and picked up his wine glass and motioned to everyone: "Come, cheers"

Everyone smiled slightly, then picked up their glasses and said in unison, "Cheers"

At this time, outside the window of the restaurant, patches of snow drifted up, like scattered cotton wool in the night sky, fluttering with the wind, overwhelming, accompanied by a burst of crackling firecrackers "enveloped the entire Yanjing,...

This year has been quite lively, at least Minister Sun thinks so, even when Sun Lingfei's mother is still there, it is rare to be so lively.

So Minister Sun was very happy, and then got drunk again,

After sending the other ministers into the room to rest, Xu's father and Xu's mother, who had drunk less, sat around the sofa in the living room to rest, watching the annual gala.

Xu Hao couldn't put it down, playing with the car keys in his hand, and from time to time he excitedly pulled Xu Ze to ask about the appearance and color of the new car...... And Xu Qing'er was nesting together with Chop Lingfei at this time, "discussing something happily, and bursting into a low laugh from time to time."

Looking at all this, Xu's father and mother leaned on the sofa and smiled lovingly, for them, there are not too many inconsistencies between this year and last year, the only difference is just a change of place "It's just that this year is really getting warmer and warmer......

"Mom and Dad, Minister Liu said that he wanted to invite us to dinner tomorrow and asked if we had anything else to ......" Xu Ze said with a smile to the second elder.

Xu's father and Xu's mother glanced at each other, and a warm smile appeared in their eyes, and then Xu's father smiled and said, "Minister Liu is too polite, then let's go and disturb dinner!" ”

"Well, okay!" Xu Ze nodded, and then smiled a little helplessly: "Mom and Dad's placement is like this, I want to go to Grandpa Li's side in the morning, pay tribute to Grandpa Li this year's ......, and then we will go to dinner together in the evening......"

"Good ......"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Xu Ze led the whole family to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li in the morning, and after a little rest for an afternoon", the whole family and other ministers went to the Yanjing Hotel to attend Liu Changfeng's banquet.

Yanjing Hotel is one of the oldest top hotels in Yanjing, "because of the precipitation of history, as well as the elegant environment, many military and political figures like to feast here, especially in this Spring Festival, "although it is still the first day of the new year", but the Yanjing Hotel is already quite lively, all the boxes have been fully booked before noon.

Xu Ze and his entourage got out of the car and walked into the hotel, that is, they had already met a lot of acquaintances, "Yo Xu Teshen, Minister Sun, Happy New Year, "Happy New Year", a man and a woman in their thirties were seen head-on, and there was a hint of respect in the closeness to this side.

This man is the director of a certain office of the Government Affairs Yuan, "He is also a very powerful person in Yanjing, and all ministries are subordinate to the Government Affairs Yuan, so although this one is a little lower-level, he has always been almost equal to Bei Ruina, but this time Xu Ze and Bei Rui came together, and this one was close to a trace of respect.

"Ah, Director Li, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, haha" After the two smiled and returned the salute, Director Li glanced at Xu's father and Xu's mother beside Xu Ze at a glance.

After Director Li wandered for a while, a smile immediately appeared on his face again, and he said politely and affectionately to Xu's father and Xu's mother: "These two are Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Father Xu naturally knew that at this time, "those who can enter and exit here, and can also guide Xu Ze to say hello, are either rich or expensive, but he didn't expect that the other party has never seen him" and was so polite to himself.

Knowing that this is his son's face" was also calm at the moment, and said with a smile: "Director Li, Happy New Year... Happy New Year......

Everyone went all the way like this, and the people they met along the way "greeted everyone very warmly and respectfully, which made Xu Ze a little helpless" But there was no way, so he could only go back one by one.

Liu Changfeng's placement today is very intimate, "In addition to a few people on Xu Ze's side, Liu Changfeng on the Liu family's side only brought Liu Yunxuan to stand at the door to greet him.

Seeing that Liu Changfeng personally greeted him at the door, "Minister Don't feel a little cramped, but he also knows" This face belongs to Xu Ze, but even if he has come to the present, he still doesn't understand" With a character with terrifying energy like Minister Liu, even if Xu Ze is now a lieutenant general, he doesn't bother to do so; Especially Xu Ze is still his biological son, this matter is really confusing.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, Good New Year, Factory" Uncle Sun, Happy New Year......

"Happy New Year to Azego"

Seeing Xu Ze, Liu Yunxuan was quite happy, but he still congratulated everyone one by one very regularly: "How is Yunxuan doing?" Is there any effort? Seeing this younger brother, a trace of warmth flashed in Xu Ze's eyes, and he asked with concern.

"I'm working very hard, Brother Aze, I've entered the first level again," Liu Yunxuan said.

"One level?" Xu Ze's face was also happy, and then he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad."

"Come on, come on, come on, ......, Brother Xu, sister-in-law, Minister Sun Sun, sit inside...... Liu Changfeng warmly invited everyone to sit inside!

Everyone is an acquaintance" and is quite close, so naturally no one is polite, and the big guys are also very casual.

After a meal, it was quite lively, and everyone staggered their cups and plates, "Naturally, I drank one or two bottles of wine, but there are a lot of people here who can drink, Liu Changfeng and Xu Ze are masters of drinking, and Minister Yu Rui and Xu's father can almost drink four or five taels, and Xu Hao and Liu Yunxuan were also made an exception to drink a few glasses today, which can be said to be quite good.

"Minister Sun heard that the work of your ministry was carried out well last year" After drinking a few glasses of wine, Liu Changfeng began to speak casually.

Bi Rui smiled and said: "Minister Liu has a good reputation, but last year our ministry carried out a series of rectification activities, which improved the efficiency a little......"

"It's not easy, in the end, this is also a big part, and it is not easy for Minister Sun to be able to do this!" Liu Changfeng smiled, and then said casually: "Minister Sun has been in this position for a few years!" ”

Hearing Liu Changfeng's words, Cho Ruiyuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly smiled: "Yes, it's been four years in the blink of an eye."

"Well, the qualifications are about the same, and I have some achievements, so I can almost consider going up again" Liu Changfeng nodded, then looked at Bi Rui and smiled softly.

As soon as he heard this, "Bere's heart was in ecstasy, he had been having a hard time since the death of the one behind him in the first two years, and he only thought about being able to hold on to this position for a few more years, and where did he think about climbing up again."

It's not easy to have Xu Ze summoned him once, so he made up his mind, made a few big moves with peace of mind, and rectified the slackness that had accumulated in the department for several years, but he really didn't have any ideas to take another step.

But right now, Minister Liu's words, Sun Rui still doesn't understand, but he didn't expect that he would be able to go up, and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart at the moment, and laughed slowly: "Minister Liu, don't be joking, now that I'm like this, it's good to be able to stick to the ministry for a year or two" But it's not easy to go further......"

This Xu's father, Xu's mother and others are also chatting casually, and they are also listening to each other's "Hearing this" Everyone calmed down, listening to the conversation between the two, and knew that although Minister Liu's words were casual, "But this topic is not casual."

"The so-called people go to a high place, other ministers are now vigorous, it is the time to move forward" Don't be presumptuous and superficial" Liu Changfeng was formal between his words at this time, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Minister Liu thinks, if there is a chance, is it a foreign appointment or continue to be in Yanjing"

"Ah this" Chop Rui is really difficult now" When did he take the Tang exam this, this will Liu Changfeng suddenly asked, although he was excited, but it was really a little difficult to answer.

Since Liu Changfeng asked, it was naturally not untargeted, and he smiled at the moment: "In Yanjing, there is no problem with the political councilor, but if it is difficult to be the vice president, there are a few shortages in the near future, but there are not too many good provinces, and other ministers can control it themselves!" ”

Liu Changfeng said so clearly, Ju Rui will finally be difficult to contain the excitement in his heart, "He is now in his fifties, and he is in the prime of life" If there is enough strength behind him, this can be the lord of any province, it is naturally a good choice, this has the experience of being in charge of a place, so it is equivalent to laying the foundation for future growth;

As for going directly to the vice president, this is something he has never thought about now, if he becomes the vice president, it is equivalent to embarking on a road to the highest power, but if he wants to go to this, he naturally knows the difficulty;

And this political councilor is also a deputy national level, which is directly promoted to a level, but being a political councilor is equivalent to no room for further growth, he is now in the prime of life, if everything goes well in the future, there is still hope to climb to a higher position at the moment a little groaned, and said: "I think if there is a chance to go down to the place to train for a few years,

That's the best......""

Xu Ze has been listening to this, and he also understands Liu Changfeng's proposal, the Liu family has been low-key in the past, "It is because the Liu family is in charge of the Supervision Department, but there is no real heavenly master" In order to prevent that suspicion, so there is no skilled manpower cultivated in this area like the Wu family.

But now, there are not too many concerns in this regard, since the Liu family intends to push other ministers to the top of the position, Xu Ze is naturally happy to see it.

Hearing the minister's words, he also smiled and said: "Yes, having experience in running a province" will have more benefits for future growth, otherwise even if you are the vice president, there is no grassroots experience" to go one step further, and there are many restrictions"

Seeing Xu Ze say this, Liu Changfeng also smiled, and said, "Okay, then it's decided."
