Chapter 67: Unexpected

ish Chapter 67 Unexpected

That night, before seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Yang and his wife came to the Yanjing Hotel, originally Chen Yang told Yu Qiang on the phone that he was going to eat at home, but it happened that Yu Qiang's little nanny had something to go back to his hometown temporarily, and Yu Qiang and his wife were also busy people, so they didn't have time to greet Chen Yang at home, but changed to Yanjing Hotel. ish

After getting out of the car, Yu Qiang's secretary Xiao Gao was already waiting.

"Mayor Chen, here, I booked a private room on the third floor." Xiao Gao has followed Yu Qiang for almost two years, and naturally knows that the relationship between Chen Yang and Yu Qiang is extraordinary.

Chen Yang smiled and nodded at him, and then followed him up to the private room on the third floor.

pushed open the door of the private room, but did not see Yu Qiang, only Yu Qiang's lover, Professor Li Zhu, who teaches at Tsinghua University, was sipping a cup of tea.

"Hehe, Chen Yang, Ruonan, you are here, sit down first."

Professor Li used to stay in the Ministry of Education, but in the end, she felt that life in the ivory tower was easier than in the officialdom and more suitable for her, so she was transferred back to Tsinghua University.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, have you been here for a long time?"

Chen Yang was also very familiar with Professor Li, but he was not very polite, and after saying hello to Li Zhu with a smile, he sat down on the sofa. And Chen Ruonan has followed Chen Yang to Yu Qiang's house I don't know how many times, and because his profession is a teacher, he is very close to Li Zhu, so as soon as he walked over, he was pulled by Li Zhu and sat next to her.

"Chen Yang, you sit by yourself for a while and have a sip of tea, Lao Yu told me earlier, there is still a short meeting to be held in the ministry, I'm afraid it will take half an hour to arrive."

The relationship between the two families is very good, and they are all their own people, so after Li Zhu finished speaking, he didn't bother to greet Chen Yang again, but chatted with Chen Ruonan with a smile on his face.

"Ruonan, did you mention the professor this time?" At the last family dinner, Chen Ruonan once mentioned that he applied to the college for a professor.

"No, sister-in-law." Chen Ruonan shook her head with a smile, since she had a son, her self-motivation has obviously decreased a lot, and she has focused on the life of her husband and children. This time, there is a batch of nominated professors in the academy, although she is qualified enough, but because there are too many candidates competing in the academy, and her age is too young, after comprehensive consideration, she was brushed off, although she did not mention the professor level, but she didn't care too much.

She didn't pay much attention, but Li Zhu was stunned when she heard this, and asked in surprise: "Ruonan, what's the matter?" I've read some of the papers you've published, and in terms of your level of expertise, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be much of a problem to be promoted to the rank of professor. ”

Chen Ruonan didn't seem to attach so much importance to this issue as Li Zhu, and chuckled: "Hehe, sister-in-law, the situation of our National University is not the same as that of local universities, all kinds of policies focus on military professionals, my major is only a subsidiary discipline in the National University, plus I do have a relatively thin foundation, and there are many associate professors with older qualifications than me who have just been evaluated, and it is normal that I have not been evaluated." ”

"Alas, Ruonan, you, you are too modest, academic things, you still have to fight for it, and it will be good for your future development. In fact, with your current professional level, it is more than enough to be a professor at Tsinghua University. Li Zhu sighed and said, she knew Chen Ruonan's temperament quite well.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you don't care about her, she's not a modest person. Besides, with her little knowledge, if she is really rated as a professor, I think there is really something wrong with the current selection mechanism. Chen Yang looked at the newspaper on the side, interjected casually, and hit his wife mercilessly.

As soon as Chen Yang's words came out, Chen Ruonan glanced at him hatefully, but it was only because of the presence of others that it was not easy to attack.

Li Zhu sat up straight without mercy, turned his head to look at Chen Yang, and criticized seriously: "Chen Yang, don't underestimate your daughter-in-law, you are now also an official who focuses on the economic development of one side, but if you really talk about the study of economic disciplines, I don't think you are necessarily comparable to Ruonan, you, you should really take out Ruonan's paper published in the Journal of the International Economic Forum and take a good look at it." ish, you don't know, even many scholars in this field in our school praised Ruonan's paper after reading it. It's very bad for you to say such a thing, it's disrespectful to academics, and I think you should apologize to Ruo right away. ”

Chen Yang sweated one, wouldn't he be so online? Busy with the accompaniment said: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, you didn't say it to me?" He often contradicts Qiang, but he has great respect for Mrs. Yu, who is dedicated to academic research. Moreover, he really didn't know that his wife had published papers in this highly professional and well-known international economic magazine, and almost even the most demanding and conceited scholars and professors could not deny the professionalism and authority of this journal.

"It's not an apology to me." Li Zhu frowned. It seems that after returning to school to teach, she forgot all the little knowledge in the officialdom and was very unsympathetic.

"This"

Seeing Li Zhu's serious appearance, Chen Yang secretly said that it was not good, and he cast a distressed look at Ruonan for help.

Chen Ruonan chuckled, and then helped Chen Yang relieve the siege and said: "Sister-in-law, forget it, people like him are now full of things in officialdom, and in the past, intellectuals were stinky in his eyes, so it was useless." ”

Li Zhu deeply sympathized with Chen Ruonan's words, didn't her own husband gradually transform from a pure university teacher to a bureaucrat? Thinking of this, she let Chen Yang go. But then he didn't pay attention to Chen Yang.

After chatting for a while, Yu Qiang finally arrived.

When Chen Yang saw Yu Qiang push the door in, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly got up to greet him, saying, "Minister Yu, I finally looked forward to you." ”

Yu Qiang seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed: "What's wrong with you kid now?" Is it that now that you are the mayor of Huahai, you can't wait for me for a few minutes? Don't forget, kid, I'm your teacher, and I don't have any respect for teachers. ”

"Hello, Mr. Yu."

Chen Ruonan also got up with a smile and said hello to Yu Qiang.

"Well, Wakao is here too." Yu Qiang nodded kindly at Chen Ruonan.

"Hehe, you didn't say anything wrong about him just now, but he was criticized by his sister-in-law just now." Chen Ruonan said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Yu Qiang was stunned, and looked at his lover a little unknowingly.

Li Zhu deliberately said with a straight face: "You, the students you teach are just like you, you don't respect knowledge at all, and your mind is full of those things in officialdom." ”

Yu Qiang was dumbfounded for a while: "What does this kid have to do with me." As he spoke, he glared at Chen Yang, obviously, when he was at home, he had been nagged by his wife.

Chen Yang could only smile innocently and bitterly, and no longer defended, otherwise it would be too wrong to say.

Fortunately, the relationship between the two families was very good, and this little thing was harmless, and the next dinner was very pleasant.

Chen Ruonan specially ordered a few of the most well-known official dishes of Yanjing Hotel, and everyone didn't feel that it was as difficult to swallow as the things they eat in some big hotels on weekdays.

After the meal, Chen Ruonan continued to sit on the sofa and chat with Li Zhu, while Chen Yang and Yu Qiang walked to the balcony of the private room and chatted while smoking a cigarette after dinner.

This was almost a rule, so the two ladies did not care, after all, they also knew that with the position of the one in their own family, there must be some things that were inconvenient to talk about in front of them.

"Teacher Yu, how could your department think of going to Qingdao for a quarterly meeting this time?" Chen Yang asked casually as he took a puff of smoke. He had already thought of having a good chat with Yu Qiang when he returned to Beijing this time, but because Yu Qiang went to Qingdao, he had no time, and Yu Qiang only returned to Beijing at noon today, and if it weren't for this rainstorm, Chen Yang really wouldn't have been able to meet Yu Qiang in time.

Yu Qiang smoked a cigarette, his face looked a little tired, but he didn't answer Chen Yang's question, but asked instead: "Chen Yang, your kid hurriedly asked me to dinner, you must have something to find me, right?" ”

"Teacher Yu, look at what you said, can't I have a meal with you and my sister-in-law if it's okay?" Chen Yang said with a smile. Not to mention, his little thoughts really can't hide from Yu Qiang, who knows him very well. Of course, he is looking for Yu Qiang not only for a meal, but also for the two families to contact each other.

"Hmph, you kid don't come here, you don't have anything to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it's been so long in Huahai, I see, you don't even call me if you're fine." Yu Qiang snorted lightly, but his demeanor was very relaxed, and only in front of Chen Yang could he rarely let go of the strict and rigid face in front of all the cadres.

Chen Yang laughed dryly, but did not refute.

After taking two more puffs of cigarette and flicking the ashes of the cigarette, Yu Qiangshicai's relaxed expression gradually put away, replaced by a rigorous and serious look, and slowly said: "Chen Yang, the candidate for the deputy secretary vacant in Huahai this time, the central government has roughly selected the candidate, you, don't waste your mind anymore, doing your job well is the top priority." ”

Yu Qiang didn't hide it, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke Chen Yang's thoughts. That's right, Chen Yang found Yu Qiang this time, and he really wanted to see if he could find a chance to get through Yu Qiang's way and choose a deputy secretary who was at least a person who followed him all the way.

But now it seems that his wish is doomed.

Chen Yang's face suddenly became stern, and he asked, "Teacher Yu, can you tell me who I am in advance?" ”

When Yu Qiang heard this, he glanced at him, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and then slowly spit out a name: "Fang Yi, you should be familiar with it!" ”

For a while, Chen Yang's face changed greatly.
