Ding Forest laughed when he heard Nian Yue's words. His daughter's marriage has long been on his mind, but this daughter is pampered and proud, the old man's words go in and out of the left ear, like a gust of wind through the hall, after hearing it, he still goes his own way, Ding Forest can only be anxious.

After hearing that Ding Wendi was in love this time, the overjoyed Ding Lao immediately rushed to Lifeng City from southern Fujian Province to come to "blind date" in person. After meeting, Ding Lao found that although Zhang Huimin was from a poor family, he had a good character and was very self-motivated, and he was six or seven points satisfied in his heart.

When the girl was young, her father-in-law was naturally picky about her son-in-law, and once the girl became a "leftover girl" in the deep boudoir, her parents were anxious to marry their daughter as if they were worried that a ripe cabbage would rot in their own fields.

Although Zhang Huimin's family conditions are average, firstly, he is favored by Mengding Wendi, and secondly, Ding Lao also realizes that there is not much room for choice, so he readily accepts it.

…… He himself is also an official born at the grassroots, as long as Zhang Huimin seeks to be motivated, he is not worried that he will fall in the future, and it is still stable to live a life as an official and a half-job, if he has strong ability and relies on his connections, then he will also have a certain degree of certainty about being a department-level cadre in the future.

"Elder Ding, I heard that the eldest lady said to arrange my seat at the main table, I'm afraid it's not appropriate this time, please change your seat."

Ding Forest smiled and said: "It's okay, there are a few cadres from the Central Committee of the regiment at this table, you can get to know them first." ”

"Elder Ding, my level is too different from theirs, please be sure to change it, otherwise I will be restless. As for the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, you can always introduce me later. ”

"Well, in that case, you'll sit at a table next to you."

The seats of the leaders above the department level were arranged in the small hall inside, and Ye Zhiran went over to take a look, surnamed Cao! The names on the second table are also deputy provincial leaders, and he naturally asked for another change.

"Huh? Xiaoye is coming? What to change, come, you sit here. He didn't wait for Ding Forest to speak. Someone behind him said.

Ye Zhiran looked back and suddenly smiled: "Ah! Old leader! Long time no see. ”

The person who came was the former secretary of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee of Yangtze River Province ~ Zhong Hanting, who had just arrived in Minnan Province at this time to take up his new position, and his position was the vice governor of the extraordinary committee.

Zhong Hanting said with a smile: "Governor of the forest, you go and receive other leaders, Xiao Ye will be handed over to me." ”

Since this is the case, Ye Zhiran can't help but know how to lift. smiled: "Elder Ding, go get busy, I'll take this opportunity to report to the old leader." ”

After Zhong Hanting stepped down from the secretary of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee~, he was transferred to the Yangtze River Provincial Planning Commission as director for four years, and then, after the Spring Festival this year, he stepped into the ranks of provincial and ministerial-level officials, and the Central Organization Department arranged for him to serve as vice governor of Minnan Province.

At this time. Zhong Hanting, who was proud of the spring breeze, waited for Ye Zhiran to sit down beside him, and said with a smile: "I heard that Ding Lao's son-in-law is your subordinate?" ”

Ye Zhiran briefly reported Zhang Huimin's origin.

"Huh? The Ding family girl is good! Zhong Hanting heard that Zhang Huimin was born in an ordinary intellectual family, and his identity was just a deputy township head, so he didn't think much of Ding Wendi.

"Old leader, Miss Ding is really not easy, she is now the chief engineer of a battery factory invested by Zhao Group in Lifeng City."

There are many children of senior leaders who work in enterprises, but there are very few who are engaged in technical work in enterprises. Zhong Hanting was in awe and said: "This shows that the education method of the forest governor is very good, and I admire him very much for setting an example and not using his power for the benefit of his children." ”

Then he praised: "Mayor Ye, it's not easy for you, let alone the work of Shao'an Software Industrial Park." In Lifeng City, it also made a good sound, and responded to the sentence, 'Go to the poor place of water, sit and watch the clouds rise'. ”

"The old leader's praise is too high, and I can't afford ......"

At this time, other leaders arrived one after another, and Zhong Hanting stood up. greeted them with a smile, and introduced Ye Zhiran to his colleagues by the way.

Because they belong to different provinces, they are naturally not familiar with each other. For Ye Zhiran, these provincial and ministerial-level officials have also heard names. On the other hand, Ye Zhiran is only a department-level cadre in Yangtze River Province, although he has some reputation in Yangtze River Province, but when he arrives in Minnan Province, unless he has a heart, other leaders do not know about him.

With a false politeness, everyone sat down to chat, drink tea, and wait for the wedding to officially begin.

During this time, these bigwigs in southern Fujian Province would also joke with each other at will, or talk about some officialdom anecdotes, trivia, and the like. Most of the officials' eloquence is very good, especially at the sub-provincial level, which is all killed by thousands of troops, and the small meetings of the conference and all kinds of speeches, I don't know how many battles have passed, and a very ordinary thing will be said in their mouths with great interest.

Some people often describe other people's eloquence as "dead can also be said to be alive" to express, this sentence is actually not appropriate, it is not difficult to say that the dead are alive, under power, referring to the deer as a horse is not a joke, individual officials will even take advantage of the people's psychological state of daring to be angry and dare not speak, deliberately reverse right and wrong, staring at empty words, big words, and lies. However, when officials reach the provincial and ministerial level, this kind of thing will no longer happen, just like at this time, everyone is sitting and chatting, talking about people's livelihood issues, and they all have heartfelt concerns.

When it comes to officialdom trivia, many things are also inaccessible to Ye Zhiran at this level, which makes him listen with great interest.

Of course, in the eyes of these provincial and ministerial-level officials, in addition to giving this young department-level cadre a polite smile and politeness, they actually do not attach great importance to it, after all, although he is very young, it does not mean that he will definitely be able to become a provincial-level leader in the future. From the department level to the provincial and ministerial level, the threshold is far from what ordinary cadres can imagine.

Ability, political achievements, connections, luck, and the appreciation of senior leaders only have a chance when combined.

…… The wedding began.

A wealthy wedding is not as hasty as an ordinary family marriage, and the wedding is very exquisite. Ding Lin basically went through the wedding procedures by his daughter's side at this time, of course, it would not be too cumbersome, after all, he still had to entertain so many leaders.

Ye Zhiran saw that a stage fifty or sixty centimeters high had been built in the hall, and the location chosen was very particular, so that the guests in the small hall of the hall could watch it. The moving wooden doors between the hall and the small hall have all been opened at this time.

The officiating wedding is a retired veteran leader living in Minnan Province, and the identity of the witness is also extraordinary, and he is a vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Then, in the middle of the wedding, I saw that from the hall to the small hall, many people suddenly stood up and saluted...... Ye Zhiran saw that Vice Premier Chen Chengqiang had arrived.

Ding Forest hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Ye Zhiran saw Premier Chen and Ding Forest shaking hands from a distance, and analyzed from the sound and smile that they should be congratulating their children on the happy event.

Afterwards, Premier Chen smiled and raised his hand to press down, signaling everyone to sit down and dine...... I don't know who is in the lead, but there is applause in the hall, and then the applause is contagious to the others, and it becomes enthusiastic.

Coming to the small hall, Ding Forest led Chen Chengqiang to table No. 1. The approachable Premier Chen greeted with a smile: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm a little late." ”

"It's not too late, it's not too late."

Premier Chen shook hands with everyone and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then, accompanied by Ding Linlin, he came to table two. All the leaders of the No. 2 table had already stood up straight respectfully, accepting Premier Chen's "review" like a guard of honor, and Chen Chengqiang also shook hands one by one with a smile.

And then......

Then something a little unexpected happened.

When Vice Premier Chen walked up to Ye Zhiran, he uncharacteristically held his hand and asked, "Hmm, when did Mayor Ye arrive?" ”

There was silence in the small hall.

Then, the people who spoke in the hall noticed the anomaly and stopped talking, and the small hall became silent, and a wine bottle cap fell to the ground in the distance, and the faint sound was clearly audible.

"Huh", everyone's eyes focused on Ye Zhiran's face.

in the small hall.

When Premier Chen shook hands with all the provincial cadres before, he politely touched his hands and said "yes" in unison, but in front of Ye Zhiran, there was a change!

Signal!

This is a strong signal!

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to their conversation......

Hearing this, Ye Zhiran replied calmly: "Premier Chen, I arrived for about an hour and flew directly from Yangtze River Province. ”

"Well, that means you've had a good journey, yes, yes!"

After Chen Chengqiang said this, he calmly walked back to table No. 1 with Ding Linlin.

In just two sentences, there seems to be no substantive content, but the meaning embodied is extremely rich.

…… After Vice Premier Chen Chengqiang left, all the leaders at the No. 2 table were impressed by Ye Zhiran, and they no longer had the calmness and indifference they had before, and they talked to him one by one.

People who didn't know Ye Zhiran from a distance turned their heads to each other, asking who this young and handsome young cadre was.

Ye Zhiran's heart is naturally warm, Vice Premier Chen is building momentum for him!

Two bland sentences, it seems that there is no content, but! Vice Premier Chen was calm when he saw so many leading cadres at the vice provincial level, and only exchanged a few words of greeting with this department-level cadre.

This is a message to the outside world!

Don't look at it, this is just a small episode that happened at the wedding of a certain cadre in Minnan Province, but this incident will soon fly back to Yangtze River Province and be known to all the leaders of Yangtze River Province.

Daojun Shu~Ji, Governor Guanghou, and all members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will think about it seriously, what is Vice Premier Chen for? Is it dissatisfied with the unreasonable transfer of Ye Zhiran to Lifeng City by the Provincial Party Committee? Is it to show that senior leaders attach importance to Ye Zhiran?

People who think more deeply will also think that this is the expression of appreciation and acceptance of Ye Zhiran by the senior leaders of the regiment in public?

Ye Zhiran himself quickly thought of this question, is Vice Premier Chen indirectly forcing him to make his position clear? Therefore, after being excited and excited, Ye Zhiran felt a deep ambivalence in his heart.
