When it was almost half past seven, Chen Yang, who did not wait for Ruonan, finally came to the home of Liu Haitian, the top leader of the National Development and Reform Commission, in the logistics compound of the ministry and commission.

Although Director Liu's home is not a mansion such as a small western-style villa, but with his level, the housing standard is naturally not low, a large suite of more than 200 square meters, plus he lives on the first floor, and there is a small garden in the outer courtyard.

Chen Yang rang the doorbell of the courtyard outside, and soon, the iron door opened, but it was not the nanny of the Liu family who opened the door for him, but the kid Liu Hongbing, who was ordered by Chen Yang to go home on time earlier.

"Hey, I said Brother Yang, I can be regarded as looking forward to your old man's house, you have only arrived at this point, I knew that I wouldn't be back so early."

Liu Hongbing had a flattering smile on his face, and while opening the iron door, just like Chen Yang's little follower, he naturally reached out and took the initiative to take Chen Yang's handbag, but the muttering words in his mouth were obviously a little depressed. It's no wonder that this kid is happy outside on weekdays, and it is rare for ten and a half days and a half to show his face at home, and when he suddenly goes home for dinner, he will inevitably be called to the study by the old man to teach him a lesson.

Of course, Chen Yang could understand the grievances in his words, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, is it so nonsense to ask you to go home and have dinner with your parents?" ”

Liu Hongbing followed Chen Yang's side and explained with a face full of grievances: "Brother Yang, you don't know that my old man is that person, and you can't fix me properly when you have an opportunity."

"Huh. Alright, you kid don't talk nonsense with me, let's go. ”

Chen Yang interrupted the kid's grumbling words with a smile, and walked quickly towards the house.

After entering the house, Liu Haitian, who was originally sitting in the living room drinking tea, took the initiative to get up and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yang, it's here." ”

Chen Yang hurriedly walked over and shook hands with Liu Haitian: "Hehe, Uncle Liu, what are you polite to me." ”

That being said. But in fact, he also understands it in his heart. With the gradual improvement of his political status, perhaps in his heart, he still regards Liu Haitian as the uncle who grew up watching him grow up, but Liu Haitian will not really treat him as a nephew and junior, which does not mean that the relationship between the two is estranged. It's a very subtle sense of politics.

Liu Haitian's wife, Qin Qing, who worked in the Education Commission, also stopped her work at this time. Walked out of the kitchen. Seeing this, Chen Yang hurriedly said hello: "Teacher Qin." ”

Qin Qing worked as a teacher in the school for more than ten years before working in the ministry, and was the homeroom teacher of Chen Yang in middle school, so Chen Yang always called her Teacher Qin.

And Qin Qing rubbed the apron tied around his waist with both hands. Lehehe said: "Hehe, Xiao Yang, hurry up and sit down, you can talk to Lao Liu for a while, and we can have dinner." ”

Chen Yang hurriedly said politely: "Teacher Qin, don't be busy, I'm not a guest." ”

"Hehe, don't be busy, you, it's been a long time since you've been to the house to eat, if I don't cook it myself, Lao Liu doesn't know how to talk about me when I look back." Qin Qing replied with a smile.

"Mom, you're really okay, haven't I been home for a long time?" Liu Hongbing, who was still carrying a bag for Chen Yang on the side, muttered.

"Shut up, you stinky boy!" When Qin Qing heard this, he glared at his son, "You're still embarrassed to say, if I hadn't asked your father to call Xiao Yang and call you home, would you be able to come back obediently?" ”

Liu Haitian also reprimanded with a straight face: "Liu Hongbing, I warn you, don't think that I don't know about the you did outside, you kid"

Liu Hongbing was sweating, and hurriedly cut off the old man's words, "Okay, Dad, I know it's wrong, don't scold me first?" As he spoke, he hurriedly put his arm around his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, Brother Yang has also entered the house, I'll go to the kitchen to help you." ”

Watching the mother and son go to the kitchen affectionately, Liu Haitian scolded with some incomprehension: "Hmph, this stinky boy, sooner or later I will have to lose my reputation!" ”

Chen Yang was already surprised by the scene of Liu Haitian reprimanding his son, so he smiled and persuaded on the side: "Hehe, Uncle Liu, the Red Soldier is actually not as bad as you say, I think he is quite sensible, you, relax a little, the Red Soldier will not embarrass you." ”

Scolding and scolding, Liu Haitian also knows that his son's company outside is actually the way paved by Chen Yang, with Chen Yang watching, he is relieved to tell the truth in his heart, at least the general principle and general direction can't be wrong, but in the past few years, he can see his son's gossip with a certain actress in the newspaper from time to time, which makes him, after all, this kid is not young, he just doesn't know how to become a family when he is outside all day long, and the director is scolded once he sees his son. And he called Chen Yang to his house for dinner this time, in addition to having some things to talk about in private, he also hoped that Chen Yang would put pressure on his son to urge him to get married and start a family as soon as possible. He knows very well that although Liu Hongbing is often trained in front of him, he doesn't dare to say a word, but he often forgets everything when he leaves home, but Chen Yang's words, this stinky boy, has never dared not listen.

Chen Yang knew this, and after a few words of persuasion with a smile, he sat on the sofa with Liu Haitian and chatted.

Both of them are high-level cadres in the field of high-rise buildings, and the content of the chat is naturally related to superstructure-related topics, especially the upcoming two sessions is one of the main contents of the chat.

Because today is a family banquet, and it is Mrs. Liu's chef, the nanny sent away, so there are no idlers, the living room is very quiet, and the two of them do not have many taboos when they talk, and there are many contents in the conversation that involve some sensitive issues, and unlike a few years ago, Chen Yang can now bluntly express his views and opinions on these sensitive topics, and often some of the points he puts forward will even affect some of Liu Haitian's thoughts on the current situation.

As one of the core members of the Chen family, Liu Haitian could certainly hear that Chen Yang was actually seeking him on some issues, or simply the full support of the Chen family. In this regard, he did not say some high-sounding and ambiguous opinions in front of outsiders, and gave his own response very bluntly.

Of course, he knows very well that Chen Yang is now the representative of the Chen family in the domestic political arena in the next ten or even twenty years, and some of Chen Yang's views and opinions often directly represent the views and opinions of the Chen family, a behemoth in the political arena, in a certain way, so even if he may not agree too much with some issues, in the eyes of the outside world. It is still necessary to keep the same pace with Chen Yang.

Unconsciously. The two chatted for almost an hour, but they were still very interested, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Hongbing, who were busy in the kitchen, naturally did not come out to disturb their conversation.

"Hehe, Xiao Yang. Some of your observations are good. There are no problems with the direction either. It doesn't matter if I have this old bone, and I'm probably about to retire after this session, but I'm worried. After all, the steps are still a little bigger, and I am afraid that there will still be many old comrades who may not necessarily agree. ”

Liu Haitian finally made a clear statement, but he still reminded Chen Yang with a worried face, after all, some ideas put forward by Chen Yang in the conversation just now will undoubtedly touch some vested interests, especially some mentions about the in-depth reform of large state-owned enterprises, and it is even more likely to push Chen Yang and even the Chen family behind him to the cusp of public opinion for a period of time in the future.

"There are some things that still need to be mentioned and done." Chen Yang smiled and looked at Liu Haitian.

Although Chen Yang's expression was as usual, Liu Haitian could still clearly see the firmness in his eyes.

Liu Haitian didn't say anything more, just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I'll ask the ministry to come up with a specific plan for this aspect when I go back, and there should be time for it." ”

Chen Yang's heart warmed when he heard this, but he still flatly refused: "No, Uncle Liu, let's wait until the two sessions are over." ”

Obviously, he didn't intend to let Liu Haitian take the political risk for himself.

Liu Haitian said with a smile: "You, don't you Uncle Liu be allowed to make some political achievements?" ”

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, just do what I say, if it doesn't work, I may still have to ask you for it." ”

Liu Haitian was not reluctant, because he knew that since Chen Yang had decided, he must have thought it through, so he said: "Okay, I am quite familiar with Guo An and Man Ping, I will try my best to introduce you in the past few days, you can find time to sit down and have a good chat." ”

Guo An and Man Ping mentioned by Liu Haitian are the leaders of the party newspaper and the party journal respectively, and the implication is naturally to help Chen Yang find a few heavyweight gunmen.

In this regard, although Chen Yang also has his own way, he is not polite, after all, since Liu Haitian proposed it, these two comrades are obviously also Chen cadres, although he has not dealt with much before, but this kind of interaction will definitely be more and more in the future, so he responded with a smile: "Hehe, that's okay, I am relieved to wait for your notice." ”

Liu Haitian looked at his watch, the time was almost close to eight fifty, and it really became a supper if he didn't eat anymore, and he was almost talking about business, especially when he could hear Chen Yang's growth from the conversation with Chen Yang, which made him especially happy and gratified, so he got up with a smile and said: "Hehe, let's go, let's go to dinner, if you let Ruonan's girl know that you have come to my house and haven't eaten at this point, the girl who turns around may get a complaint from Mr. Li to me." ”

"Uncle Liu, what are you doing with her!"

Chen Yang smiled bitterly and helplessly, he didn't have a problem with Liu Haitian's ridicule, thinking that when he married Ruonan, this Uncle Liu didn't play a positive role, basically every time he saw Li Duanyu, he asked why the two juniors didn't hurry up and get things done, and Chen Yang's adoptive mother Li Duanyu could be said to be singing and harmonizing, which made Chen Yang very passive before.

When I arrived at the restaurant, the dining table was already full of home-cooked food, Mrs. Liu saw that the two had finally finished talking about business and started eating, so she smiled and beckoned Chen Yang to sit down quickly, but at the end she didn't forget to complain about Liu Haitian: "Lao Liu, you are really, what can't wait until you eat to talk, you are not hungry, I see that Xiao Yang is already hungry, but you are still chatting with Xiao Yang, just Ruonan also called me, let me tell you to stop." ”

Chen Yang was in a cold sweat when he heard this, if the little girl was enough, she waited for her at home for a long time and didn't come back, so she said that she still had something to do with Lin Yu, and she had the leisure to care about this when she turned around.

Liu Haitian has always been very afraid of guilt. smiled and compensated his wife, and after sitting down, he squinted and saw Liu Hongbing who lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone to send text messages, and scolded him casually: "Hongbing, what are you doing stupidly, you know how to play, don't hurry up and serve dinner!" Do you want me to help you Sheng? ”

"Hey, hey, your old man sits in peace, I'll go, I'll go!"

Liu Hongbing then remembered that the nanny was on vacation today. was reprimanded by the old man. I got up and went to eat in a hurry. And Mrs. Liu also hurriedly went to bring out a few hot dishes that were kept warm at this time.

Soon, the meal was ready, Liu Haitian was very interested, and asked Liu Hongbing to go to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of Moutai that he had hidden for more than 20 years. After opening. The dining room is filled with the aroma of wine.

"Huh. Dad, Brother Yang, you sit down. I'll fill you two. ”

Liu Hongbing poured wine for the two of them, and at the end he didn't forget to fill himself with a big glass.

"Xiaobing, don't drive back after drinking later, let's stay at home tonight." Mrs. Liu reminded her in advance.

"It's okay, scold, I'll call the driver to pick it up in a while."

Liu Hongbing replied indifferently.

"Hmph, this stinky boy, he knows that he is messing around outside all day long, and he can't stay at home for the first day." Liu Haitian said.

Liu Hongbing hurriedly looked at Chen Yang with an aggrieved expression.

Chen Yang shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe, Uncle Liu, the red soldiers are still young people, it's understandable." As he spoke, he raised his glass again, "Come, Uncle Liu, I respect you!" ”

Liu Haitian let go of his son at this time, and also raised his glass and touched Chen Yang lightly.

Although it was a family banquet, Mrs. Liu's craftsmanship was very good, and several dishes were cooked very deliciously, which made Chen Yang, who was used to eating in a big hotel, want to vomit, and drank fine wine, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

When he was almost eating, Liu Haitian suddenly put down his chopsticks, glanced at Liu Hongbing, who was taking a sip of wine, and said: "Hongbing, you go to the military compound after eating later, I told Lao Geng that his daughter just came back from New York tonight, and it is estimated that she has finished dinner, by the way, remember to buy gifts for her daughter when you go, do you hear, stinky boy?" ”

As soon as Liu Haitian's words fell, Liu Hongbing's face turned green with fright, his hands trembled, and he almost didn't drop the wine glass in his hand on the ground, baring his teeth and exclaiming: "Dad, what did you say?" The daughter of the old man's family? ”

Not only was Liu Hongbing stupid, but even Chen Yang, who was sitting on the side, almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine on the spot when he heard the words of Lao Geng from the military region. It's no wonder that Chen Yang is so familiar with the military compound that he can't be more familiar, he has seen the daughter of the old Geng family for a long time, I won't mention what this child looks like, he is a super wild boy character when he is young, the key is that he also gave birth to a pair of ugly cross-eyed, how to say it, in short, he looks very unreliable, although this child went abroad to study at the age of eleven or twelve, but even if it is a female college student, she has to have a little spectrum, right?

That's it? No matter how good the conditions are, no matter how much political marriage is carried out, Uncle Liu can't really not think about his son at all, right?

I have to say that at this moment, in addition to silently sighing for Liu Hongbing, Chen Yang was secretly glad that his luck was off the charts.

Liu Hongbing was so frightened that he wanted to get up and run away at that time, but under Liu Haitian's shout, he could only sit down again, and begged in a reluctant voice: "Dad, this, forget it, don't worry, I will find you a daughter-in-law immediately, it will definitely not take more than three days." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to cast a look at Chen Yang for help, obviously hoping that Brother Yang could help say something and let Liu Haitian quickly return to this ridiculous marriage.

Chen Yang's eyes turned, as if he hadn't seen it. There's no way, he can't help him with this kind of thing, it's not like your old man hasn't arranged a similar blind date for your kid before, who told you kid to pick and choose, now it's good, pick and choose to pick and choose to Commander Geng's house, right?

"Hmph, what's the matter, I and Lao Geng have already made a decision on the small matter of the two of you, your task tonight is to go to the door first, and the day after tomorrow I will find time, and then have a meal with Lao Geng's two families, and you can get the certificate without any major problems."

Liu Haitian completely ignored his son's protests, and set his son for life in three or two sentences.

"Dad, I can listen to you for anything else, but what age is it now, why are you still engaged in feudal society, anyway, I won't die in this matter!" Liu Hongbing got up angrily and said, a rare one to stand up in front of the old man.

It's a pity that Liu Haitian didn't even pay attention to it, but turned his head to Chen Yang and said, "Xiao Yang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to run later, you have to help me keep an eye on this kid." ”

Although Chen Yang was very gloomy and happy in his heart, he really couldn't bear to push Liu Hongbing into the fire pit with his own hands, so he shirked and said, "Uncle Liu, this, this is not appropriate, right?" Besides, I told Ruonan that I would go home and rest after eating from you. ”

Liu Haitian smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll say hello if you're over there." As he spoke, he changed his sad face again, shook his head and sighed while holding Chen Yang's hand, "Xiao Yang, this time you must help me keep an eye on the matter, you must get it done, whether your Uncle Liu can hold his grandson next year depends on you." ”

"Uncle Liu, look at what you said, this"

Chen Yang looked helpless, but it was difficult to shirk it, but he still couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart, Uncle Liu, this old fox, I'm afraid I have already calculated to let me come out of this, I said, why did you call me home for dinner today.

Although Chen Yang didn't want to be the role of this feudal patriarch too much, Liu Haitian said everything about it, and he finally reluctantly agreed, and led the reluctant Liu Hongbing to leave the courtyard of the Liu family. (To be continued......)
