Chen Zhengmin and Cao Jinghai sighed about the old time, and after reminiscing about "time is fleeting, life is easy to get old", Chen Zhengmin began to talk about the topic.

"Mingyu, your Uncle Cao has been in the Northeast all these years and rarely comes back, but after his son Yunlei graduated from college last year, he returned to work with us, in Tong County, in ......"

When Chen Zhengmin said this, he suddenly couldn't remember Cao Yunlei's specific work unit, so he asked Cao Jinghai with his eyes.

Cao Jinghai smiled at Chen Mingyu with some embarrassment, and said: "After graduating from Yunlei University, he was assigned to work in the Party and Government Office of Jinshan Town, Tongxian County, hehe......"

"Yes, the Party and Government Office of Jinshan Town, called Cao Yunlei. Mingyu, do you know Yun Lei? Chen Zhengmin asked.

Chen Mingyu has now guessed the reason why Cao Jinghai came to his house, but he does not reject this, this is originally a personal society, and he has now become the helmsman of the Tongxian County Party Committee, so some relatives and friends who are related to his family will naturally come to the door and hope that he will take care of him.

It can be said that this is all a very normal thing.

"I have just been to Tong County for a few days, and I still know very little about the situation and personnel in our county, and I don't know Yunlei for the time being. However, since we have this relationship, then, Uncle Cao, you can rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Yun Lei. Chen Mingyu didn't go around in any circles, and directly accepted this matter.

Chen Zhengmin was quite satisfied with Chen Mingyu's attitude, and said: "Mingyu, speaking of which, you and Yun Lei are also brothers. Therefore, I won't say much about the superfluous words, Yun Lei is your Uncle Cao's youngest son, and it is also your Uncle Cao's biggest concern now, you must take good care of Yun Lei. ”

Cao Jinghai explained with a very embarrassed look: "I came here today, mainly to visit Jeongmin, and when I told Jeongmin about it, Jeongmin called you over, you are so busy with work, and let you come over for a special trip, I really feel sorry not to go." In addition, you don't need to take special care of Yun Lei, he is young now, he has no work experience, you can arrange him to do more things, if he doesn't do well, you will criticize him more, hehe......"

Chen Zhengming said: "Jinghai, don't be polite, we have been in an old relationship for so many years, isn't it right for Mingyu to take care of Yun Lei?" If he dares not to take good care of Yun Lei, he is not willing to do it from me! Mingyu, did you hear that? ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "I heard it, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Yun Lei." However, I think that for a young man, directly promoting him to a position is not to take care of him, because he may still harm him if he rashly takes up any position when his experience and ability are not enough. Therefore, after I go back, I will investigate Yun Lei well, and I will definitely arrange a suitable position for him, give full play to his ability, let him exercise more, and make progress as soon as possible. I think this is the best care and nurturing for him. Dad, Uncle Cao, what do you think? ”

Cao Jinghai immediately said happily: "Oh, what Mingyu said is so right!" Then I'll worry about it. ”

Chen Zhengmin was also very happy and proud that he could help his old classmates, but on the surface, he still said quietly: "Jinghai, don't be polite to him, this is what he should do." ”

That night, Chen Mingyu, Cao Jinghai, Chen Mingyu, plus Zhong Xiaohai and Zhong Xiaotao drank together, and Chen Mingyu's mother Yao Guilan and his cousin Chen Yueting were busy in the kitchen together, a happy family atmosphere.

In the process of eating, Zhong Xiaohai, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, said to Chen Mingyu with great interest: "Mingyu, the business of our furniture factory is getting better and better, and we can't finish receiving orders!" Although I am very busy every day, I have an interesting life and have a lot of energy! It's a shame to think about the days when I lay in bed every day waiting to die after I injured my leg a few years ago! Mingyu, do you know, in fact, I have always been very, very grateful to you from the bottom of my heart! I know very well that if you hadn't enlightened me and helped me open this furniture factory, then I might have been finished, and even if I hadn't died, I would have become a waste. ”

Chen Mingyu was very relieved and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't think so, although I gave you some help at the time, but you can have today's development, mainly because you are a very energetic person, but because you were too depressed at the time, so you suppressed this breath, and I will help you bring it out at most." ”

Zhong Xiaohai picked up the cup and said, "No matter what you say, anyway, I have it in my heart, I can have today because of you!" Mingyu, I toast you! ”

Chen Mingyu also picked up the cup and said, "You are my brother-in-law, how can you respect me, or I will respect you." ”

"No! No way! I have to toast you with this glass of wine, it has nothing to do with anything else, I just want to show you my feelings! ”

"Oh, okay then. Brother-in-law, it! ”

"Okay, done!"

Zhong Xiaohai put it behind the glass and wanted to get the wine bottle, but Chen Mingyu took the wine bottle in his hand and poured wine for Zhong Xiaohai.

Zhong Xiaohai watched the crystal wine pour into the glass, and said with great emotion: "Mingyu, I wonder about one thing. ”

Chen Mingyu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"What I wonder is, you are now the secretary of the county party committee, why don't you have a little shelf? You know, I see some of the deputy mayors in our town, their shelves are not good, and some of them can't walk with their eyes to the sky! But you really don't have any shelf, just like the Mingyu I knew back then who hadn't joined the work yet! Mingyu, don't say anything else, just this alone, I admire you so much! ”

"Hehe, brother-in-law, did the deputy mayor you mentioned put up a fight in front of you?"

"No, they all know that I have a younger brother like you, how dare anyone put a fight on me? Including the secretary and mayor of our town, they were polite when they saw me! ”

"Hehe, brother-in-law, you are now a well-known entrepreneur in our county, and you are a big taxpayer in our town, and you have solved a lot of employment problems and helped many families live a good life, so you should be a person who is very respected by the society, and they are polite to you, that's right!"

Zhong Xiaohai sighed: "Mingyu, don't put gold on my face." In fact, I know very well that if it weren't for a younger brother like you, then I would be nothing in the eyes of these leaders in our town! Even if I have a furniture factory now, the owner of a private company like me still has no social status. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Xiaohai suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little too pessimistic, and immediately smiled and said, "I just drank a few glasses of wine today, and I talked a little more, in fact, I am very satisfied now." If you look at the bowl all day long, thinking about the pot, and never have a satisfying time, then how can you do it? ”

Chen Mingyu understood Zhong Xiaohai's mood, it seems that although his brother-in-law has done well in his career now, he is still very hungry in terms of social status.

Actually, this is completely understandable.

Because in the past few decades, the country has been developing a planned economy, and the private economy is not recognized by the society at all, and those small businessmen and hawkers have even been defined as "speculating and digging the corners of socialism", which is a very serious crime, such as the "Wenzhou Eight Kings" incident in the early eighties, which once frightened those private economists!

Although with the spring breeze of reform and opening up blowing all over the country, the private economy is no longer hit and hit, but because of the mainstream values formed for a long time, many private economic people, although they have created wealth for the society, but they still have a sense of crisis and lack of identity in their spirits, which also leads to their inner self-confidence.

Obviously, Zhong Xiaohai is this kind of person.

Just like when Zhong Xiaohai was enlightened to come out of the shadow of disability, this time, Chen Mingyu is also ready to help Zhong Xiaohai come out of his unconfidence and make him a confident and proud private entrepreneur!

Moreover, he also wants to help Zhong Xiaohai become a successful entrepreneur!

So, Chen Mingyu smiled and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you heard of Liu Yong of Sichuan Hope Group?" ”

Liu Yonghao is now one of the most famous private entrepreneurs in China, and Liu Yonghao's deeds are often reported on television, newspapers, and radio.

"Yes." Zhong Xiaokaidao.

"Hehe, then you must know that Liu Yonghao is a private entrepreneur, right?" Chen Mingyu asked again.

Zhong Xiaohai nodded and said, "I know that he is also a private business owner, and he has a big business and is very famous, but I really don't know his specific situation." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Then I will give you a brief explanation, in 1982, Liu Yonghao and his three elder brothers resigned from their public positions in government departments, educational institutions and state-owned enterprises, and went to the countryside of Xinjin County, Chengdu, Sichuan Province to start a business. They sold watches, bicycles and other family property, raised 1,000 yuan, as an investment in the early stage of the business, starting from planting and breeding, after hardships, perseverance, after six years, accumulated 10 million yuan, and turned to feed production in the late 80s. In the following 8 years, they made the company snowball with their own efforts and created China's largest local feed enterprise group - Hope Group. The Liu brothers also became the richest men in Sichuan, and even the richest in the country. ”
