August 29, Saturday, today is Zhang Qingtian's 34th birthday.

For the first time, Zhang Qingtian was restless during work hours, because her lover He Hongmei called, and her birthday was going to be at her mother's house tonight, because her brother-in-law had just come back from the south, Father He and Mother He wanted to have a reunion tonight, and asked He Hongmei and his wife to bring their little granddaughter over together, He Hongmei has always been filial, so she naturally agreed.

But the He family, now Zhang Qingtian feels a kind of torment every time he goes, and his life is like a year, especially in the past two years, his father-in-law and mother-in-law almost nagged endlessly when they saw him, saying that he was not good here, how bad was he there, he was blind Hongmei was such a haode daughter-in-law, and even mentioned the events of the year, and the mother-in-law sighed and said that she should have stopped Hongmei ruthlessly, how about she wanted to die or live? A lifetime of things, if you were ruthless at that time, now Hongmei will definitely be able to find someone ten times stronger than Qingtian.

This was not said in front of Zhang Qingtian, but Zhang Qingtian overheard the conversation between the mother-in-law and the father-in-law in the kitchen, and then I knew that the mother-in-law did not agree to this marriage back then, no wonder I came to the He family at that time, the mother-in-law has been lukewarm, I thought that the mother-in-law was like this, and then there was a little sister-in-law, the mother-in-law especially loved the little aunt, and asked for warmth all day long, and thought that because Hongmei's sister was the old and young, she had always been favored, and the mother-in-law loved the house and Wu.

It wasn't until that day that Zhang Qingtian knew the real truth.

Thinking about it, he couldn't complain about his mother-in-law's white eyes, and thinking about the situation of the He family, Zhang Qingtian couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Lao He's family has two daughters and a son, his lover He Hongmei is the eldest sister, and his brother-in-law He Yunliang's brain is particularly open, at the beginning of the self-employed became a 10,000-yuan household that everyone envies, and then he went to the south, I heard that he made a fortune, and he also became a family in the south, I heard that the other party is a rich woman who can Yu, and the cars driven by Yunliang are more than 200,000 Santana.

The younger sister He Hongju, who works in the alcohol factory, and the younger aunt Cai Bojin, was promoted to the director of the Lunan District Government Office at a young age.

And Cai Bojin seems to be very open-minded, able to play in all aspects, very capable, and prosperous in his small days.

On this point, Zhang Qingtian was a little worried, and when Cai Bojin was the deputy director of the Lunan District Government Office, Zhang Qingtian once talked to him earnestly, no matter how much he could not violate the principle of party members in the ministry, at the beginning, Cai Bojin was also humbly taught, but then the mother-in-law was tired of listening, every time he said this topic, the mother-in-law sneered, and then Cai Bojin was promoted to the director of the district government office, and the mother-in-law often ridiculed Zhang Qingtian, asking Zhang Qingtian to follow Xiao Cai to learn how to progress.

Compared with his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Zhang Qingtian's family is much shabby, although they are all in the ministry, but the salary is not high, and now Osan pays attention to private kindergartens, He Hongmei and other things depend on Zhang Qingtian, when it comes to her daughter's affairs, she has taken her own idea to send her daughter to a private kindergarten with a relatively good reputation, so that the life of the two is even more poor.

Every time the father-in-law and mother-in-law saw the gift fruit box they took, their faces were surprisingly ugly.

Zhang Qingtian really didn't want to go to this home, although he felt that he was sorry for Hongmei's idea.

Seeing that it was time to get off work, Zhang Qingtian sighed, no matter what, today will pass, just take it as a kind of grinding.

However, no matter how frank he was, when he went to the He family and looked at his sister-in-law's favored appearance, he was always panicked in his heart.

There was a soft knock on the office door, and in the door was a gray-haired but energetic old Yu Ministry, Deputy Director Kang Wugen.

Zhang Qingtian hurriedly stood up, "Kang Bureau, are you in trouble?" ”

Chairman Lu went to Beijing for a meeting, "National Advanced Workers" commendation meeting, Chairman Lu is one of the 45 advanced workers in the national financial system this year, and the Wushan City Finance Bureau has also won the title of advanced collective in the national financial system, which is related to the outstanding performance of the Wushan financial system this year.

Before Chairman Lu went to Beijing, he entrusted Kang Wugen to temporarily preside over the overall daily work.

Zhang Qingtian didn't have much contact with Kang Wugen, but he had always respected this old man with clean sleeves, stood up to greet him, and was busy pouring tea for Director Kang.

Kang Wugen smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You're busy, I just received a call from the office of the Organization Department, asking you to come over." Kang Wugen also serves as the director of the Personnel Department of the Bureau, and the personnel relations work is the counterpart of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Personnel Bureau.

Zhang Qingtian was stunned, the office of the Organization Department? How can you suddenly find yourself? Do you want to transfer your own work? I haven't heard from Chairman Lu

Kang Wugen smiled, "Don't think about it, it's a good thing, go quickly, Minister Ren is waiting for you." As he spoke, he patted Zhang Qingtian on the back very kindly.

Minister? That is Minister Ren Zhonghua of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee?

Zhang Qingtian was even more puzzled, why couldn't it be Minister Ren's turn to talk to him about work, right?

called his lover's unit, but no one answered, thinking that his lover got off work and was on his way home, Zhang Qingtian had no choice but to hurry downstairs

But he didn't want to, he waited for a van downstairs, and the driver, Xiao Wang, said that it was arranged by Director Kang and picked him up to the municipal party committee compound.

Zhang Qingtian was grateful, although this was also an official business, but in addition to performing official duties, it was the first time that he had a car to pick up and send him.

After more than 20 minutes, the van drove into the compound of the municipal party committee, and it seemed that the guards of the compound of the municipal party committee were very familiar with the vehicle with the official license plate of the Finance Bureau, and let it go all the way.

Zhang Qingtian hurriedly went upstairs and came to the office of the Organization Department on the fourth floor, and a person surnamed Zeng received him very kindly, and hurriedly led him to the door of the Organization Minister's office.

Zhang Qingtian asked his name, and this Yu Bu smiled happily, told Zhang Qingtian that his name was "Zeng Jiang", and asked Director Zhang to help him greet "Chairman Lu is in good health" and so on.

When there was a knock on the door of Minister Ren's office, the Zeng surnamed Yu Bu's face became serious, and he stopped laughing.

Zhang Qingtian had seen Minister Ren from afar a few times, but today's Minister Ren seemed to be very kind, personally led him to sit on the sofa, and poured him a cup of hot water.

"Qingtian, I already knew that your official reputation has always been very good," Ren Zhonghua sat opposite Zhang Qingtian with a smile.

Zhang Qingtian hurriedly humbled a few words.

Ren Zhonghua waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not too early, I won't beat around the bush, that's the case, after careful consideration in the organization, it was decided to nominate you as a candidate for the deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, I've always had a good impression of you, but that's the case, according to the organizational procedures, the ministry will also assess you, and from now on, there is a democratic evaluation content, you have to be prepared, you can't be organized to want you to progress, but you fell into the hands of comrades" said, Ren Zhonghua laughed.

Zhang Qingtian was stunned and mentioned as deputy director? I really never thought about this.

Although after Jiang Haiyan left, there has been news that the bureau will promote a Yu Department from within to serve as the deputy director, but after all, it is just a rumor, and Chairman Lu has never talked to him through the relevant words.

Why do you have to mention yourself?

"Qingtian, you have to be good, don't live up to my expectations" Seeing Zhang Qingtian's somewhat confused appearance, it didn't look like a fake, Ren Zhonghua was also slightly surprised, why didn't this little black man seem to know anything? Didn't get the wind beforehand? It's really weird.

Zhang Qingtian came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the organization and the minister, work hard, and strive to improve."

Although he listened to the meaning of Minister Ren's words, it was as if he had nominated him as a candidate for deputy director, but Zhang Qingtian naturally knew that he had organized a conversation with the ministry in such a tone, and it seemed that Minister Ren was not exempt from vulgarity.

As for himself, the deputy director, apart from Chairman Lu, who else will help him fight for it? Others don't have to, and they don't have this ability, so they can't really be promoted by the secretary and mayor, the reality is that this possibility is zero.

Coming out of Ren Zhonghua's office, Zhang Qingtian still had all kinds of feelings in his heart, Chairman Lu was resolute in everything he did, and he never relied on it, including using himself, every time, he didn't get angry with himself, and he changed to a second leader, how could he not greet him in advance to show his affection? And what he does, Chairman Lu should see it in his eyes, and he is also doing what he thinks he should do.

How fortunate is it to follow such a leader?

went downstairs and saw that the driver Xiao Wang and the van were still waiting, so Zhang Qingtian went over and said that he could go home by himself and take the bus, and he didn't need to send it.

Xiao Wang knew that Director Zhang had a temper, and he was not reluctant, so he got off the car and left.

Zhang Qingtian walked out of the compound of the municipal party committee, looked at his watch, for the first time, ran to the bus stop, stretched out his arm to stop a taxi, more than 30 years of life, this is the first time Zhang Qingtian took a taxi.

Despite this, when Zhang Qingtian arrived at He's house, the family had already started eating, in fact, it was just seven o'clock, obviously, he didn't deliberately wait for him.

There is a round table in the living room, and the meals are very rich, crabs, skin shrimp, fat and fat, and a strong seafood fragrance.

The brother-in-law He Yunliang spoke with a Hong Kong and Cantonese accent, and the thick gold chain hanging around his neck looked like it weighed eight taels of pounds.

Brother-in-law Cai Bojin and little sister He Hongju are here, it seems that the brother-in-law is starting to get lucky, his face is fatter than the last time they met, and he is smiling reservedly at this time, becoming more and more like a leader.

Zhang Qingtian habitually sat in the corner of his lover's side and asked the old couple, "Hello parents." And he said no more.

He Hongmei's face was not very good-looking, so she said to her daughter Xiao Leilei: "Go, bring Dad's birthday cake and sing a birthday song to Dad." "In the past, it was indisputable, but today is Qingtian's birthday, and I have already told my parents, but the old He family is full of people, and they don't take it seriously, they should still start eating, and no one said to wait for Qingtian.

Looking at Xiao Leilei's white gauze skirt, He Hongju smiled: "Sister, Lei Lei's skirt is so beautiful, it's an imitation of a foreign brand, right?" But the handiwork looks good, it looks very exquisite, how can it be twenty or thirty? ”

He Hongmei said with a calm face: "This is a gift from the director of their bureau on Lei Lei's birthday, more than three hundred foreign brands." "I never told my family about these things before, and I didn't want to fight for anything, but today, He Hongmei is surprisingly popular.

More than three hundred? He Hongju opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

Cai Bojin immediately looked at him with concern and asked, "Qingtian is the chief director of their bureau?" Lu Zheng? I don't know since when "Qingtian" replaced the title of "brother-in-law".

He Hongmei nodded, "Well, Chairman Lu." ”

Cai Bojin said with some suspicion: "It's really fake, if it's true, Qingtian, you seem to have a play, but you still have to be flexible, you must be able to grasp the mind of the leader, you have to be able to live a little more, and you won't be in the inspection office for almost half a year, right?" In Cai Bojin's view, the inspection office is a temporary institution after all, and each unit is deployed in the ministry to enrich Liliang during the quarterly inspection.

Zhang Qingtian hummed and didn't say anything.

He Hongmei listened to Cai Bojin's preaching today, but it was extremely harsh, and said: "Xiao Cai, your brother-in-law was personally named by Chairman Lu to come over, let me tell you, what Chairman Lu likes is that your brother-in-law does not flatter and does not pat the horse, what about you?" I heard that Wang Shaoqiang is in a lot of trouble now, you used to be his left and right hand, and you didn't touch it, right? ”

Cai Bojin's face immediately became embarrassed, and he said, "What is the matter with me?" I will serve the leaders. Besides, it's all nonsense outside, and District Chief Wang is not that kind of person. ”

He Hongmei sneered twice: "Isn't that kind of person?" ”

Mother He glared at He Hongmei: "Have you cursed your family like this?" Why did you take gunpowder today? The older you are, the more ignorant you are to learn from your family, I said, marry a chicken and follow a chicken, you are now a stone in the pit."

Originally, after listening to her mother's reprimand, He Hongmei was silent, but when she heard the words behind, He Hongmei couldn't help but stiffen her neck: "Mom, what's wrong with my family Qingtian?" It's just out of your eyes? If you want me to say, he is a hundred times stronger than your little aunt, honest and kind, marry him, I am down-to-earth

Zhang Qingtian hurriedly pulled He Hongmei's sleeve under the table and whispered: "Okay, don't say it, the whole family will have a meal, and I will endure you and go over, what are you doing?" whispered something in He Hongmei's ear, and then said: "Today is a happy event, don't be unhappy about my family." ”

He Hongmei's face was happy: "Really? Seeing Zhang Qingtian's solemn face and slowly nodding, He Hongmei screamed in surprise, hugged Zhang Qingtian, and kissed him on the cheek.

Over there, Mother He was stunned, and began to wipe her tears, "Look, what's the use of raising a girl, if you get married, you won't know your own mother, I love to nag, but it's not for your good, why am I ......here?"

He Hongju was busy persuading beside her, and complained to He Hongmei: "Eldest sister, look at you, what are you doing?" So angry with our mother? ”

He Yunliang also persuaded, He Hongmei Zuihou reluctantly said two soft words, and He's mother's collision with the sky slowly stopped.

He Hongmei took the cake from her daughter Xiao Leilei at this time, put it on the table with a smile, and said, "Mom, don't you keep saying that our family has no chance?" Today, I will report good news to your old man, Qingtian will be promoted to the deputy director level immediately, and he is a real post, deputy director of the Finance Bureau.

Mother He scoffed: "What deputy director is not deputy director, you baby object, even if the deputy mayor speaks, it doesn't matter if you talk to the deputy mayor." ”

He Yunliang hurriedly said: "Mom, don't talk nonsense"

The crab leg that Cai Bojin was biting fell on the table with a "click", and looked at Zhang Qingtian incredulously.

When Mother He saw her son and little son-in-law, she felt that her eldest aunt, the deputy director, was very amazing.

"Brother-in-law, what, such a big happy event, I have to toast you." As he spoke, Cai Bojin hurriedly looked for a cup and wine, he knew that He Hongmei and Zhang Qingtian were very accurate people, such a big matter, it was impossible to talk nonsense without being reliable, and then Chairman Lu gave a gift to Xiao Leilei for her birthday, I thought it was a kind of politeness of Chairman Lu Da who cared about the bureau and Yu Ministry, it is difficult to say whether the brand is true or false, and now it seems that he values his brother-in-law very much.

Mother He looked at the little aunt who was suddenly respectful to Zhang Qingtian in surprise, and suddenly felt that this shijie was not very real, and she was not dreaming, right?

Auntie, is it really time to run, as the girl said before, it is not a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm?
