We met, introduced each other, shook hands and said hello.

Chen Jinhui is the only one in the family, he is busy pouring water to make tea, he looks calm, not humble and not arrogant, and he seems to be much more cordial and easy-going than ordinary officials, it seems that Zhu Yongzhi's phone call is still very effective.

Chen Jinhui's home is a leap-type split-level, with a total area of 200 square meters.

While Chen Jinhui was busy, Chu Tianshu made a little observation and felt that the decoration was not of a low grade.

Thinking about it roughly, Chen Jinhui is a department-level cadre, and his salary income alone is far from enough, not to mention, he had just bought a townhouse in the most luxurious Mid-Levels Huating in Linjiang City before that, so it can be speculated that his gray income such as lecture fees in the past was quite considerable.

Sit down, of course, and talk about the manuscript first.

Chu Tianshu took out the printed manuscript and handed it to Chen Jinhui with both hands.

Chen Jinhui took the manuscript and glanced at it, and found that there was no author's signature on it, so he put the manuscript on the coffee table and asked Chu Tianshu to introduce the writing process.

Chu Tianshu immediately saw Chen Jinhui's tentative intentions, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he took out Zhu Yongzhi's letter of recommendation and handed it to Chen Jinhui, and added: "Teacher Chen, Professor Zhu has explained, the quality of the article is still up to Teacher Chen to decide, and you can't affect your judgment of the article because of the author or recommendation." ”

"Oh, I wish Professor is still old-tempered, decent and fair." Chen Jinhui nodded thoughtfully, took out the letter of recommendation and read it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Professor Zhu is the chief theoretical adviser specially invited by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, Secretary Nan and Governor Qiao both appreciate him, he easily does not recommend the article, once recommended, the quality of the article is absolutely superior." ”

Listening to Chen Jinhui's words of praise, Chu Tianshu was a little relieved.

Originally, Chu Tianshu was very worried, according to the Chinese literati tradition of contempt for each other, coupled with Chen Jinhui's unbalanced mentality, as the editor-in-chief of "Theory and Practice", he may not easily agree with Zhu Yongzhi's opinion.

Since Chen Jinhui did not pretend to be high-minded, Chu Tianshu was not pretentious, so he reported the title, theme idea, paragraph level, subheadings, etc., one by one, and briefly explained the process of making revisions and improvements according to Zhu Yongzhi's mention.

Chen Jinhui nodded frequently and said, "Well, that's good!" Professor Zhu's suggestions are very critical and to the point! Everyone can write articles, each with its own ingenious differences, don't look at Professor Zhu's small points, but they are all the finishing touches. This article will definitely be a masterpiece, and our issue of the magazine will follow the next grade. ”

Speaking of which, being infected by Chen Jinhui's emotions, Chu Tianshu was excited, and he said the idea of organizing a work seminar.

However, after saying that, he still regretted it a little.

Chen Jinhui agreed so readily, and he made a request so urgently, will it make Chen Jinhui feel more associated?

When Chen Jinhui heard this, he didn't say anything immediately, but smiled and pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Xiao Chu, your idea is not bad." Holding a workshop on the work, using the power of newspapers, television, and other news media to hype it up extensively, will definitely have a greater impact. But ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Jinhui paused.

Chu Tianshu said that Professor Zhu said that it was a habit developed in the classroom, mainly to attract the attention of students, and after a long time, it became a mantra, and Chen Jinhui, as an official, should not have this habit, his "but" must contain rich connotations.

Chu Tianshu was about to ask Chen Jinhui to continue, but he found that his body suddenly tensed, and his originally somewhat serious expression instantly tightened tighter, and his mouth opened there without a sound.

It turned out that he heard the sound of the key opening the door outside.

It turned out that his wife had returned.

Chu Tianshu was a little confused, Chen Jinhui's pause, did he have something to say, or did he have an allergic reaction when he found out that his wife was back?

Chen Jinhui's wife came in the door, her face was gloomy, and she found that there were two guests in the living room, who were not slightly disguised, but became more and more ugly, and the fat on her body was a little turbulent with the heaviness of her breathing.

Out of politeness, Chen Jinhui had to make an introduction with a smiling face.

It can be seen that Wei Shijie's investigation is very accurate, and Chen Jinhui is a "strict wife" who is afraid of the inside.

Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie hurriedly got up and politely shouted "eldest sister".

Mrs. Chen, who was panting and angry, only snorted in her nose, and didn't care about the guests at home, so she pulled Chen Jinhui to the study and said loudly: "Old Chen, Wen Qixiong from Leteng City is too disagreeable, you have just been transferred to the party school, and the decoration team he introduced began to ask for a sky-high price, you call him and ask him, what's going on?" ”

"Oh, it's his duty that people are willing to help, and if he doesn't want to help, there's no way, what else is he calling?" Chen Jinhui lowered his voice and persuaded: "You be quiet, there are still guests outside." ”

"What a guest is not a guest." Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Wen Qixiong didn't come often before, and he spoke better than he sang. Oh, you transferred to the party school, and if he didn't come to the door, it would be forgotten, and the decoration team introduced would also start to make things difficult. Hmph, they're all snobs. ”

Chen Jinhui closed the door of the study, but it was not closed tightly, and the sound of the quarrel between the two people inside could still float into the living room, especially Mrs. Chen had no scruples and a loud voice, and the matter quickly heard the truth.

It turned out that Chen Jinhui had just bought a townhouse in the "Mid-Levels Huating" and was preparing for decoration, and Wen Qixiong from Loteng City helped introduce a decoration team and initially negotiated a low outrageous price, which was nothing more than to find an opportunity to say a few good words for him in front of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee through Chen Jinhui.

But not long after, Chen Jinhui was transferred to the party school, and Wen Qixiong saw that the role was gone, so he put away this enthusiasm and asked the decoration team to negotiate with Mrs. Chen about the decoration on their own.

The boss of the decoration team wants to make money, without Wen Qixiong's promise, he will not post money to do things for Chen Jinhui, so he found various reasons to be in line with the market price, which of course completely exceeded Mrs. Chen's expectations.

Wei Shijie lightly touched Chu Tianshu and said a few words in his ear.

Chu Tianshu nodded secretly.

After a few minutes, the door to the study opened.

Chen Jinhui looked embarrassed, grabbing his mobile phone and being dumbfounded.

Mrs. Chen ran out with red eyes.

Wei Shijie got up and took the initiative to greet him, and asked, "Eldest sister, why are you so angry with Lu?" ”

Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Xiao Chu, oh, you are Xiao Wei." No, the family just bought a house, and the price was negotiated with the decoration team, but these people turned their faces and didn't admit it, and looked for the original introducer, but they actually left it alone, which is really bullying. ”

Chen Jinhui walked out, gently pulled her, and motioned her to stop talking.

Mrs. Chen was impatient, as if she had been greatly wronged, and said loudly: "Don't worry about it, Xiaowei asked, can't I complain?" I don't care if I'm angry outside, and you won't let me talk when I get home, and you still let me live? As she spoke, Mrs. Chen's tears actually fell.

Wei Shijie handed Mrs. Chen a tissue and comforted her, "Oh. It's just such a small thing. Sister, don't be angry, I'll help you figure it out. ”

"Really?" With tears on her face, Mrs. Chen smiled.

"Hehe, eldest sister, you don't know what to do, our company used to do decoration, and then took over some houses and road projects and then turned away." Wei Shijie said in a big way: "It's just right, there are still some old materials that haven't been used up, and they are in the way in the warehouse, otherwise, the eldest sister will help me digest and digest them, okay?" ”

"That's great." Mrs. Chen burst into tears and laughed, regardless of the fact that Chen Jinhui and Chu Tianshu were still standing next to her, pulling Wei Shijie to sit on the sofa, talking endlessly about the construction period of the decoration, specific materials, etc., and even told the details such as faucets, flush toilets, and electrical switches one by one.

Chen Jinhui really couldn't look at it, so he said: "Xiao Chulai has other major work matters, should I talk about the decoration of the home at another time, besides, the impact of this is not good." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she slapped her fat hand the coffee table, and said angrily: "Old Chen, you don't care about the big and small affairs in the family, who do I discuss with Xiaowei if I don't discuss with Xiaowei?" This is a matter between me and Xiaowei, and it has a fart relationship with your influence! Besides, I'll pay according to the price after the decoration is completed. ”

was choked by his wife, Chen Jinhui's face immediately turned red and white for a while, and he stopped making a sound.

Wei Shijie had no choice but to quickly declare: "Teacher Chen, you really don't have to worry about this. After the transformation of our company, there are indeed a lot of old materials, the eldest sister can help me digest them, and I have to thank the eldest sister, of course, I am a businessman, and the old materials must be charged according to the price, and I will not let Mr. Chen make mistakes. ”

In a word, the tense atmosphere was resolved at once.

Chu Tianshu said: "Teacher Chen, let Lao Wei and the eldest sister talk about the details of the decoration in the living room, and let's go to the study to talk about the article, so as not to disturb each other, do you think this will work?" ”

"That's it, that's it." Chen Fu** was happy and smiled even more happily. She glanced at Chen Jinhui and said, "Look, it's still a young man with a bright brain." Go, go, talk about your go. ”

Entering the study, Chen Jinhui took the door, only read the article cursoryly, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Chu, you tell me the truth, is this article written by your Mayor Yi?" ”

Chu Tianshu hurriedly said: "Oh, Teacher Chen is really hot-eyed, you can also see this." ”

Chen Jinhui said: "The idea of the article is so high that only a leader of Mayor Yi's level can write it. This kind of weighty article is fully qualified to be published as the headline of the journal "Theory and Practice". It's not a big deal to hold a workshop and organize follow-up reviews, but it's ......"

The annoying "but" came unexpectedly.
