Wu Xu was busy all morning, and finally finished the purchase work in his hand, so he waited at the door of his office according to Wu Kaizhi's phone notice.

Wang Mingli: Brother Xu, what are you doing here, did you offend Director Wu and let you accept criticism here, you have to be mentally prepared.

Wu Xu: I don't know what I was asked to come here for, I was originally asked to come over at 9 o'clock in the morning, so I got up at 6 o'clock this morning to go to the farmers' market to buy vegetables, and finally arrived on time, but I waited here for more than an hour and still didn't see Director Wu coming.

Wang Mingli: You are waiting, don't worry, waiting for people like this is also work, and you can do the work according to the normal time in the future, don't be too difficult for yourself.

Wu Xu: Okay, I know Sister Wang. At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, I finally saw Wu Kaizhi coming down from Deputy Secretary Zhang Ping'an's office.

Wu Xu: Hello Director Wu, I came here at 9 o'clock in the morning, do you have any work arrangements?

Wu Kaizhi: It's just a trivial matter, so let's talk to you. I heard that you and some old comrades in the town often get together for a long time, drink and play mahjong, etc., this situation is not very good, and it will be changed in the future.

Wu Xu: There is such a thing, but not all. I do often hang out with them, but I don't play mahjong. You know, I go to the farmer's market every morning before half past six to buy groceries, so I wake up early and don't dare to go to bed. But my relationship with them is normal, and I have my own measure.

Wu Kaizhi: It's good to be measured, most of those old comrades have already laid flat, do not seek progress, and chew the root of their tongues everywhere all day long. You are a state civil servant with a bright future, and it will not benefit you if you have too much contact with them.

Wu Xu: My, I know, thank you Director Wu for your concern. Good bye... Good bye....

After getting off work, Ma Juan came to Wu Xu's dormitory, and Wu Xu also came back early from work after speeding up the progress and busy with the whole day's work.

Ma Juan: My dear, you're finally back, I miss you so much. Seeing Ma Juan's charming appearance lying on the bed, Wu Xu'an couldn't bear it, so he threw himself on the bed, wanting to take Ma Juan down. Ma Juan pushed Wu Xu away and said solemnly: Don't make trouble, I have something to tell you.

Wu Xu: What's the matter, it's so formal, I can't stand it.

Ma Juan: I've been pregnant since I went back from you last month.

Wu Xu: ... Ah..., why didn't you say it earlier, dear.

Ma Juan: Because you have been too busy working for a long time, you have been suppressed by villains, and you are in a bad mood. Because I was unmarried and pregnant, I didn't tell you about this kind of trouble, but quietly went to the hospital to beat the child, you don't blame me. After speaking, Wu Xu's tears gathered, hugged Ma Juan and said: I'm sorry, it's been my fault for a long time, I didn't take good care of you, and I made you feel wronged.

Ma Juan: You and I are not too young, I am still a year older than you, I think the two of us need to put the major events of our lives on the agenda, and we can't put it off any longer. I have 50,000 yuan here, plus your 50,000 yuan, let's go to the city to see the house this weekend, book the house, and then pick up some from relatives and friends to pay the down payment, and we will use the provident fund to pay it off slowly. In addition, my parents also set a time for the two families to discuss together, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, when the time comes, invite a few friends together, and if we can be sure, we will also determine the date of marriage.

Wu Xu: Okay, since your arrangement is in place, we will make arrangements according to the time you have determined, if the marriage period is tight, then we will live in a rental house after we get married, and we will temporarily wronged you, okay?

Ma Juan: Okay, that's it. Because it hasn't been long since I had the abortion operation, I can't wait for you today, so let's go to bed early.

Although the economic development of Qianjiang City is better, because it is the farthest city from Qian'an Province, the eight counties and cities under its jurisdiction are far away from the main urban area of Qianjiang District, and it is self-contained, and the radiation effect of the main urban area is not reflected, so it has no advantages in transportation, logistics, housing prices, etc., and the housing prices in the main urban area are not even as high as those in other counties. Therefore, Ma Juan works in the hospital, the salary is better, Wu Xu is a national civil servant, although there is no position now, and there is no regularization, but the monthly salary level is far beyond the average price of housing prices, and the cost performance is still very good if you buy a house and live in Qianjiang City. On the weekend, Ma Juan and Wu Xu came to Qianjiang to buy a house and bought an off-plan house of more than 140 square meters, with a down payment of 120,000 yuan and a monthly payment of less than 2,000 yuan.

What, Wu Xu is getting engaged, when? Deng Guohao said.

Gao Lili: On the twentieth day of the lunar month, except for the leaders, all of us soldiers and pawns in our party and government offices went. And all of you testify, I said it to Wu Xu, at a level like me, my mother said that if you get married in the future, the bride price will be 30,000 yuan, don't do more. So if you go to help Wu Xu negotiate with your family, if the bride price of his mother-in-law exceeds 30,000, he won't marry, and he will marry me, I only need 30,000, remember. Gao Lili's joke made everyone laugh. Finally arrived on the twentieth day of the lunar month, Ma Juan, Wu Xu's relatives and friends on both sides were all present, because it was a weekend, so everyone in the party and government office except Wu Kaizhi arrived. Everyone helps with washing vegetables, washing, killing chickens, cooking, and so on.

"If the heart is there, the dream is there, but start all over again", hey..., hello Mayor Deng.

Deng Guohao: Wu Xu, you are engaged today, I will invite Member Zhao Zhongxiang, Deputy Mayor Wang Xiaomeng, Luo Houbin, Director Li, etc., and ask your brother-in-law to arrange a few drinks to wait, and we will arrive in 20 minutes.

Wu Xu: Okay, thank you, Mayor Deng, welcome... Welcome.... After more than ten minutes, Deng Guohao and others waited for the arrival.

MCA, it's you, I didn't think you were here today? Deng Guohao said.

MCA: Hehe, of course, this is my home, I heard that you are coming, am I not at home?

Deng Guohao: So, Wu Xu is your future brother-in-law? Wu Xu, bring the wine, we came from the town and your brother-in-law and their village to have a big drink, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return.

MCA: Just do it, I'm still afraid that you, a little tycoon, won't succeed in my family, you see whether Wu Xu is on your side of the Pingyang Town Government or on our side, let's bet. After speaking, MCA's friends and the 20 or so people in their village, and the 20 or so people of the Pingyang Town Government headed by Deng Guohao and Zhao Zhongxiang divided into two large round tables to drink, and no one let anyone. A dozen or so old people sat at the table in the middle of the hall, and you toast me, and I toast you and drink a glass of wine. Wu Xu did not participate in it, but greeted everyone to eat and drink, and everyone who drank was present saluted.

Gao Lili, Wang Linlin, Wang Xiaomeng, Chen Xiaogui and others did not drink, but chatted on the side.

Chen Xiaogui: Mayor Wang, take a look at the table in the room, the old man sitting by the temple, which one next to Wu Xu's father-in-law is very familiar.

Wang Xiaomeng: Yes, I always think I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.

Gao Lili: I also feel familiar, at first I thought it was a comrade from Pingyang Town, who could sit with Wu Xu's father-in-law, it must be his relatives, and it was an old generation.

Chen Xiaogui: Ladies and gentlemen, I remember, I see.

Wang Xiaomeng, Gao Lili, Wang Lili, and others asked: What's going on, pretending to be mysterious.

Chen Xiaogui: Behind the mountain in Pingyang Town is Shiqiao Village in Anyang Town, which is this village, and all the people in the village are surnamed Ma. One of them served in the army in the 70s, was admitted to a university in the army, and after graduation, he worked in the province and served as the director of the provincial science and technology department. Last year, he was elected deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress from the position of secretary and president of Qian'an University, and he is the current deputy secretary of the party group and deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, Ma Shunyang, who is the one. You check Ma Shunyang's information on the Internet to see if it's him.

Right... Right... Yes..., it's him, I heard that someone from the Ma family in Shiqiao Village, Anyang Town, is a big official in the province, but he didn't expect to become Wu Xu's relative, so he called Wu Xu over and asked. Wang Xiaomeng said.

Chen Xiaogui: Wu Xu, who is sitting on the right side of your father-in-law?

Wu Xu: My girlfriend's uncle? What's wrong.

Chen Xiaogui: What's his name? What does it do?

Wu Xu: How do I know this, I haven't asked.

Chen Xiaogui: What about your father-in-law?

Wu Xu: Ma Shunping.

Wang Xiaomeng: Wu Xu, you have made trouble, and you have developed.

Because everyone drank together, everyone had a lot of fun, but they killed a thousand people and lost 800 themselves, and the Shiqiao Village of Anyang Town and the Pingyang Town Government were all drunk, and Wu Xu was naturally drunk unconscious, and a group of people who didn't drink sent them back to rest.

What...., Wu Xu turned out to be the niece and son-in-law of Ma Shunyang, deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress?

What...., Wu Xu turned out to be the niece and son-in-law of Ma Shunyang, deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress?

What...., Wu Xu turned out to be the niece and son-in-law of Ma Shunyang, deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress? Huang Huang, secretary of Pingyang Town, asked three times in a row, a little at a loss.

Deng Guohao: Yes, this is absolutely true, on the day of the engagement, Wang Xiaomeng and Zhao Zhongxiang and I saw Ma Shunyang in person. Wu Xu's girlfriend's name is Ma Juan, the daughter of Ma Shunyang's brother Ma Shunping, it is said that Ma Juan, a college graduate, can work in the key departments of Qianjiang People's Hospital, all arranged by Ma Shunyang himself. Ma Juan also has a big brother named Ma Hua, who also took Ma Shunyang's relationship and undertook projects all over the province, and became a multimillionaire in a few years from a college graduate. In addition, under Ma Shunyang's arrangement, MCA also became good friends with the son of Zheng Guoping, the current member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor. So I don't think I can think that Wu Xu is a foreigner like before, it doesn't matter, no background, no ability, what should be reused is reused, and opportunities are created to reuse, some leaders in the town can be hinted at a little.

Huang Huang: What you're saying is that no matter what his relationship with Ma Shunyang or even Zheng Guoping is, just his hard-working attitude can't waste resources on the logistics job. You discuss it with Wang Xiaomeng, and see which position he is more suitable to arrange, but the relationship in this town is complicated, and the relationship between the Industrial Management Committee of Tianlong Economic Development Zone is also very complicated.

Tang Guohao: Okay, I see.

As for the relationship between Wu Xu and the Ma family in Shiqiao Village, Anyang Town, especially the relationship with Ma Juan and Ma Shunyang, it quickly spread in Pingyang Town, especially a group of party and government leaders were all surprised.

It's okay, what a big deal, if they don't get married for a day, it is impossible for Ma Shunyang to make arrangements for him, besides, Wu Xu has not turned a regular yet, and the county official still has to take care of it, so it's okay to have me. Besides, you didn't fix him much, what are you afraid of, making a fuss. Zhang Guoxing, the newly appointed director of the Management Committee of Tianlong Economic Development Zone, said.

Zhang Ping'an: Okay, I know the director.

Zhang Guoxing: However, the attitude towards others is a little better, communicate more, in case they get married, Ma Shunyang really greets him, we still have to do it, after all, it is a provincial leader, we can't afford to provoke it. The Wu Kaizhi you mentioned to me last time is very open-minded and can be cultivated, I will consider it.

Zhang Ping'an: Thank you, director, we will work hard, and we will never disgrace you.
