In order to thank Zhang Wei for his help, Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue held a banquet to entertain Zhang Wei at the Beijing Hotel that night. At the same time, Zhang Wei called a few more people, all of whom were old media acquaintances who had met in Hailang Village.

Zhang Wei saw Shui Tingyue for the first time, because of the blockade of public opinion on the Internet, Zhang Wei knew that Li Yuanlang was helping Gu Chuang and Gu Han. Presumably, the dignified and beautiful woman in front of her should also be the Gu family.

What a smart person he is, Li Yuanlang only introduced Shui Tingyue as his girlfriend, and didn't say anything about it, Zhang Wei naturally wouldn't ask more, let alone find out.

During the banquet, the atmosphere was rich and everyone talked happily. Most of them revolve around the topic of developing folk tourism in Hailang Village, and as for the Gu family and amethyst, they don't mention anything.

During this period, Li Yuenlong toasted Zhang Wei alone with a glass of wine, tacitly acknowledging each other, and the words were all in the wine.

Everyone drank less, Li Yuenlong was also a little drunk, and the banquet lasted for more than three hours before it ended.

When Li Yuenlong got up and went to the cashier to settle the bill, he was told that someone had already paid the money, and when he asked again, the cashier never said that this was the only requirement of the payer, and it was inconvenient to reveal his identity. Li Yuanlang thought it was Zhang Wei's masterpiece, and called to inquire about it.

Zhang Wei was sitting in the taxi home, and he was confused when he heard what Li Yuanlang meant, originally he went to the cashier to pay the bill, and got the same reply, he felt that Li Yuanlang deliberately made such a play, but the result was not.

Who is this man? is willing to be an unsung hero, the key is why he pays for Li Yuen Long, which is really incomprehensible.

In fact, when Li Yuanlang was pondering, in a box on the second floor, a girl in her twenties, with satin-like hair, slender willow eyebrows, a pair of big eyes that were charming and charming, a beautiful nose, a slight redness of jade cheeks, delicate lips, white as snow, and crystal like jade. The jade-like snow skin is strangely beautiful, petite, and gentle.

Next to the girl sat an older woman, although her skin had been maintained, it was difficult to erase the erosion of time, especially her eyes, which were gray and a little black, how could she be over forty years old.

The two women each had a glass of red wine in front of them, only four simple side dishes, except for green vegetables and fruits, there was no meat taste.

The girl raised her jade lips lightly, took a sip of red wine, and asked the woman opposite, "Auntie, who is that person?" Why don't you let him know about paying for him? ”

The woman grabbed the goblet on the table, shook it slightly, stared at the fuchsia wine swirling and swaying in the glass, and said with a wry smile: "I owe him a favor, how to say, he ruined my happiness, but gave my sweetheart a good result." ”

"You mean...... He is ......" The girl blinked her big crystal eyes and suddenly came to her senses.

"Yes, anyway, he did me a favor, but ......" The woman sighed: "I can't forget him, I know that he is in the capital, but I can't go to see him, it's for his good." Ke Ning, don't look for a boyfriend like me in the future, you must find someone who really loves each other, political marriage cheapens the family, but it is not worth it to get into the happiness of your life, it is not worth it, it is not worth it. ”

The girl named Ke Ning couldn't help but look away, savoring the living real-life examples of her aunt, it was better not to happen to her......

Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue were picked up by Ding Yuan by car, and these few times they came out, Ding Yuan was about to become their chauffeur, and Li Yuanlang was very unhappy. However, Ding Yuan said that his duty was to protect the safety of everyone in the Gu family, including the delivery of cars.

After going back, Li Yuanlang was called to the living room of the house by Shui Qingzhang and Gu Hongyan, and it was estimated that Gu Zhenggang talked to them about the marriage of Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue.

So as soon as they met, Shui Qingzhang went straight to the point and asked Li Yuenlong's thoughts.

"Dad, Mom, I have no opinion, it's all up to your second elder's arrangement." This is Li Yuenlong's heartfelt words, and it is by no means perfunctory.

"Okay, I have discussed with Xiaoyue and her mother just now, and I plan to do your marriage within this year. However, you have to be mentally prepared that I may be transferred, and it will be up to you to be in Ganping County in the future. But I still have a lot of confidence in you, you have strong ability, you have a firm foothold in Shuiming Township, as long as you follow the plan you have made all the way, there will be development. ”

Shui Qingzhang's words made Li Yuanlang's heart move, could it be that his promotion to the secretary of the Yunyang Municipal Party Committee was a foregone conclusion?

He didn't ask around, but Shui Tingyue interjected and asked, "Dad, is that happening?" ”

"I can't say that I'm sure of nine out of ten, but there are still some sure." Shui Qingzhang didn't say anything full, leaving room for himself. But when it comes to this, he basically has a clear idea.

Li Yuanlang asked: "Your successor is Mayor Shen Zheng Shen?" ”

"You're still smart, and you're a little bit smart." Shui Qingzhang habitually took out a Chinese cigarette from the coffee table, and was about to put it in his mouth, but was ruthlessly snatched by his wife, complaining: "You have smoked a few cigarettes today, do you want your heart." ”

"Huh." Shui Qingzhang was rarely happy, and he didn't care about Gu Hongyan with a smile, but said to his daughter: "In the future, you and Yuen Long will start a family, don't treat him like your mother, men need free space, and my hobby of smoking if I am not good at drinking is deprived by your mother, it's really depressing to think about." ”

"I don't care about him, he can smoke if he wants, as long as he has me in his heart." As she spoke, Shui Tingyue took out a cigarette case and put it on Li Yuanlang's mouth, and said angrily: "You smoke, smoke as you like." She also deliberately gave her mother an angry look.

"This Xiaoyue, why don't you talk to your mother, but speak for others, you have really been raised for more than 30 years." Gu Hongyan didn't buy his daughter's approach, and his face was slightly unhappy.

Shui Tingyue pursed her lips disapprenously, and took her mother's words as a blow blowing away in her ears.

Of course Li Yuanlang can't smoke, Shui Qingzhang is a big smoker, he doesn't smoke what kind of system he has to spew clouds and fog here, and he doesn't make the future old father-in-law drool.

It's just that he was slightly disappointed when he heard that Shen Zheng succeeded him as secretary of the municipal party committee. He can feel that Shui Qingzhang must have reached a balance with someone again, in officialdom, the art of balance is very important, to put it bluntly, everyone can achieve a satisfactory goal, and no one will suffer.

The good thing is balance, and the bad thing is trading.

With Shen Zheng's character, can he lead Guangnan City to a new height?

Of course, these are not what Li Yuanlang should care about, and the things decided by the upper echelons are not within his reach as a section-level cadre.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Shui Qingzhang is very energetic, but he also said: "Yuen Long, your marriage will be carried out after I am transferred, and it will be put in the second half of the year." In addition, you have to choose to deal with the matter of engagement in a low-key manner, after all, I am still in the position of Guangnan City, fortunately, you are only a township cadre, if you rise to the county level, you will be my direct subordinate, in this way, the two of us are embarrassed, in line with the principle of avoiding suspicion, there will inevitably be a person who will be transferred, do you understand what I mean? ”

"I understand." Li Yuanlang nodded and said: "It's just that Wei Qi is taking office on the day Wei Qi took office, and he has already mentioned it in public, so it's not so easy to hide it." ”

"Wei Qizheng?" Shui Qingzhang frowned, and glanced at his daughter, "As far as your mouth is fast, did you say it in the Youth League Provincial Committee, and it made the city full of wind and rain, and everyone knows it." ”

"People are thirty-three years old during the Chinese New Year, if they don't get married again, there will definitely be gossip behind them, and finally someone is willing to marry me, I don't say it, I feel panicked, and I also take the opportunity to block some people's mouths."

"Alright." Gu Hongyan interjected: "What Xiaoyue said is right, you will know it if you know, it is not a shameful thing, it is a great joy in life, there is no need to hide it, we must be above board, and marry our daughter in a beautiful way." ”

As soon as Shui Qingzhang saw that the wood was already in the boat, he simply stopped dwelling on this topic, and asked where Li Yuanlang planned to settle his home.

Li Yuen Long is a native of Ganping, and his relatives and friends are all in Ganping, and he also has a ready-made house in Ganping, so he is ready to settle down in Ganping.

But there is another trouble, Shui Tingyue's family is in the provincial capital and works in the provincial capital, I am afraid that they will definitely have to live a painful life of separation in the future.

The four of them discussed and decided to settle down in the provincial cities of Yunyang and Ganping, and Shui Tingyue divided a house in the provincial Youth League Committee, with a small area, 70 square meters, and it was enough for a small couple to live.

Moreover, Ganping County is not far from the provincial capital Yunyang, and it is an hour's drive to take the expressway, and Li Yuanlang will have to run at both ends in the future, anyway, it is just driving, and it is not tired.

Finalizing some matters, but also just have a simple idea, according to Shui Qingzhang's meaning, they got married in the second half of the year, and many things don't need to be done in a hurry, just take it slowly.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue, as well as her sister Ye Qingrou and Wang Song, played several famous attractions in the capital together. I tasted the famous special snacks of Beijing and had a lot of fun.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuanlang and Wang Song talked about the follow-up processing results of amethyst. Wang Song told him that he and the Gu brothers had reached an agreement to pay half of the fees, the money had been transferred to the Amethyst account, and both parties had signed and pledged, and the matter was completely over.

Gu Chuang and Gu Han are still familiar with current affairs, and it is estimated that they are forced to do so under their father's anger, so whatever he does, as long as he is dealt with, it will be the best result.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuenlong originally planned to take an evening train and arrive in Ganping County tomorrow afternoon. Shui Tingyue and her family have to stay in the capital for a few more days, accompany the old man Gu, and Li Yuanlang will return first.

He thought about going home to see his father first, and then asked Ji Tianhou to drink some wine and talk about it, Ji Tianhou has made several calls these days, asking him when he will come back, he didn't drink the New Year's wine, he wanted to have a good drink with Li Yuanlang, and said that he wanted to eat the food in the farmhouse.

The plan did not change quickly, Li Yuanlang suddenly received a phone call after lunch, and the other party said in a deep voice: "Li Yuanlang, you promised to come to our house to see the old man as soon as you arrive in the capital, and you don't talk about it, you have been in the capital for so many days, and you don't even look at it, and you don't believe it." ”

Although the other party's voice was cold, he could still tell who it was from his tone, it was him!
