Chapter Fifty-Six: The Feast of the Hung Gate

This morning, Yang Le was sorting out the file in the office, and suddenly received a call from his cousin Yang Chengye, saying that he hadn't seen him for a long time and asked him to have dinner at noon. Yang Le thought about it, he had been very busy during this time, and it was true that he hadn't seen his cousin for a long time, so he agreed.

said that they had dinner together, but in fact, Yang Chengye paid for it every time. Yang Chengye is 10 years older than Yang Le, in addition to the identity of this cousin, he is also the department manager of Yalong Company, and his income is several times higher than Yang Le, so he feels that he takes it for granted that he pays the bill, and every time Yang Le pays, he stops him, and then Yang Le simply doesn't be polite to him, and over time it becomes a habit.

However, although Yang Chengye's income is high, he is not wealthy, after all, the financial power of the family is in the hands of his wife Gong Yanfang, and his monthly expenses are counted, so every time he chooses to eat in a cheap restaurant or a roadside food stall.

At noon, Yang Chengye drove his newly bought Passat to the court to pick up Yang Le, and then headed all the way south.

Yang Le thought that this time he was going to the newly opened rivers and lakes in the south to grill fish, because Yang Chengye had said last time that he would take him to taste it, but he soon found that the route was not right, and the car seemed to be driving in the direction of the suburbs, so he asked Yang Chengye: "Brother, where are we going?" ”

"It's almost there." Yang Chengye said: "Shuangyang Hotel. ”

Shuangyang Hotel, Yang Le has heard of this place, this hotel is located at the foot of Shuangyang Mountain, although it is not as luxurious as Ziyun Pavilion Hotel, but it is also a high-end hotel, not only the dishes are exquisite and delicious, but also the environment is quiet. It is said that Gu Shaokang, the largest money lender in Dongzhou, still has shares in it.

Yang Le was still thinking about when he would raise his salary and go for a small meal, but he didn't expect that today's wish would come true in advance. He jokingly said, "Brother, have you given a bonus or have you been promoted?" Why did you suddenly think of going to such an upscale place to eat today? Isn't your sister-in-law always applying a tight fiscal policy to you, so you are not afraid that she will impose economic sanctions on you afterwards? ”

Yang Chengye didn't say it explicitly, just said it vaguely, and you will know when you arrive.

When he arrived at Shuangyang Hotel, Yang Chengye led Yang Le straight up to the second floor.

The second floor is a private room, Yang Le is worried that his cousin will spend too much money this time, and I am afraid that he will have to tighten his belt to live for a while in the future, and said, "Brother, can we go to the private room for dinner?" Just grab a bite to eat in the dining room on the first floor. ”

"It's okay." Yang Chengye said as he walked: "Your sister-in-law is also here, and he arranged this meal today, and he can't move my budget." ”

Yang Le smiled and said, "It turned out to be approved by your finance minister, no wonder you are willing to come to such a high-end place." ”

As he spoke, Yang Chengye led Yang Le to the lily hall on the sunny side.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Le saw that his sister-in-law Gong Yanfang was already waiting for them inside, and she had already ordered the food.

"Yang Le is here." Seeing the little uncle, Gong Yanfang warmly beckoned Yang Le to sit down and poured him a glass of juice: "I know that you are not allowed to drink alcohol at noon, so I specially gave you the juice I wanted." ”

Yang Le took the juice with a smile: "It's still my sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Every time she sees Gong Yanfang, Yang Le has a strange feeling, this sister-in-law is usually kind to others, but she is extremely harsh on her husband, not only taking over the financial power, but also strictly restricting consumption. What he couldn't understand was that Yang Chengye was managed obediently and without complaints.

It is said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but Yang Le feels that this cousin's scripture is more like a crooked recitation.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, all of which are full of color, flavor and flavor, two of which Yang Le has never even seen, probably southern cuisine, it is estimated that this meal will not be able to be served without 500 yuan. The cousin and sister-in-law were so expensive today, and the cousin-in-law also took the initiative to serve him vegetables, which made Yang Le somewhat flattered.

However, Yang Le soon found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, although Gong Yanfang usually treats herself well, but she seems to be a little overly enthusiastic today. He asked Gong Yanfang if there was anything wrong, but Gong Yanfang just said that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he just wanted to get together and have a meal together.

At first, Yang Le was still muttering in his heart, but Gong Yanfang insisted that it was okay, and Yang Le didn't ask any further.

Yang Le was hungry for a long time, and he was not polite to his cousin and sister-in-law, so he picked up a bowl of rice and put it in his mouth, but as he ate, he suddenly found that he was the only one eating. He stopped his chopsticks and raised his head, only to see Gong Yanfang glaring at Yang Chengye vigorously, and Yang Chengye looked embarrassed.

At this time, Yang Le had already determined that there would definitely be more than just a meal at noon today, and he knew that his cousin couldn't be the master, so he said directly to Gong Yanfang: "Sister-in-law, if there is anything you can say directly, there is nothing that cannot be said between us." ”

Gong Yanfang hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't hide it from my brother, my sister-in-law really has something to do, and I want to ask you to help." ”

Every time Yang Chengye pays for the meal, Yang Le is inevitably a little reluctant, so he said: "If you have something, just say it, as long as it is not illegal, I will definitely help if I can." ”

Gong Yanfang hesitated for a long time and said, "Actually, it's not my business, it's my unlucky brother." Gong Yanliang, you have heard of this person, he was on the blacklist of your court, and he felt ashamed, so he wanted to find someone to remove him.

I also know that this is not appropriate, but he also has his difficulties, he is also a representative of the People's Congress of Dongzhou, and there are thousands of employees under him, and now he is suddenly on the blacklist, he feels that he can't hang on face, and this is likely to affect his business credit, so he wants to ...... Otherwise, you can do this favor and tell your leader to remove him from the blacklist.

How much money you need to spend, you estimate it, I'll give you the money first, if it's not enough, my sister-in-law will make it up to you later! ”

The more Yang Le listened, the more confused he became: "Sister-in-law, aren't you an only child, when did you have an extra brother?" ”

"It's a long story." Gong Yanfang explained: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. Actually, my dad is married for the second time, and Gong Yanliang and I are half-brothers and sisters. Originally, I didn't want to take care of this matter, but the old man in my family was very stubborn and had to let me take care of it. So, my sister-in-law has to come to trouble you. ”

After listening to Gong Yanfang's explanation, Yang Le knew that Gong Yanfang's father, Gong Wanfu, was originally from Gongjiawan in Dongzhou Industrial Park, and Gong Yanliang was born to Gong Wanfu and his ex-wife there. Later, the two divorced, and Gong Wanfu married another woman in the city and gave birth to Gong Yanfang.

Because of this estrangement in the relationship, Gong Yanfang and Gong Yanliang rarely interact, and the so-called relationship is limited to this layer of blood relationship. But Gong Yanliang is Gong Wanfu's biological son after all, Gong Wanfu felt sorry for his own unique seedling, so he thought of Yang Le's relationship and wanted to find Yang Le to help him through Yang Chengye.

As a result, there is today's small Hongmen banquet.

"Sister-in-law, you really stumped me about this." Yang Le couldn't help frowning: "Let's not talk about whether this matter is in accordance with the regulations or not." To be honest, I just want to do this, and I don't have the ability to do it at all. I'm just a small clerk in the court, and I don't have any rights, so even if I open my mouth, no one will listen to me! ”

"Look at what you're saying! We don't have any rights, but we have money. Gong Yan said disapprerovingly: "How much it costs, you just have to tell your sister-in-law." You don't have to worry about the money, you don't have to worry about your sister-in-law, anyway, the money has to be revealed by Gong Yan in the end. ”

Seeing that Yang Le refused to agree, Gong Yanfang turned to Yang Chengye and asked him to help speak, but Yang Chengye held back for a while, but he only said a word, eat first, and then talk after eating.

Gong Yanfang glanced at Yang Chengye and complained in a low voice: "The old lady was really blind at the beginning, why did she marry such a wreck of you?" ”

Yang Le was worried that his cousin and sister-in-law would fall out when they turned around, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I really can't help with this." If you want to remove a person from the blacklist, you need to go through layers of approval, and as long as any of these links can't be done, this thing can't be done. And this kind of thing is also very risky, think about it, who would take such a big risk for such a small section member as me? ”

Gong Yanfang thought about it carefully, Yang Le's words were not unreasonable, so she had to sigh and say, "Okay, if it doesn't work, forget it, I'll persuade my old man when I go back." Come, let's eat the vegetables first, eat the vegetables first. ”

After eating, Yang Chengye drove Yang Le back to the court. When Yang Le got out of the car, Yang Chengye did not forget to comfort him and asked him not to take this matter to heart.

As soon as Yang walked away, Gong Yanfang couldn't help but complain: "I can't figure it out, are all the people in the court a tendon?" Why is it so unreasonable and so uninflexible? Didn't it say that 'the big cap was cocked on both sides, and the plaintiff ate the defendant', why don't you eat soft and hard now, and not only do you not eat soft and hard, but you don't even help your own people? ”

Yang Chengye glanced at his wife, and while driving, he said: "You can't say that, what age is it now, and where are there any big caps?" Besides, now that this is the situation, Yang Le is really powerless. He sighed and said, "I told you a long time ago that this is no use, but you don't believe it, now you should believe it." You, don't complain yet, let's think about how to persuade your dad in the future. ”

When Gong Yanfang heard this, her complaint became even heavier: "What you said is light, but this matter involves his biological son, where can he be persuaded to do it...... Alas, why don't you try? As long as you can persuade him, I will raise your monthly pocket money to 1,000 yuan. ”

"Forget it, I don't have that ability." When Yang Chengye heard this, he hurriedly refused and said: "I'm stupid, I can't persuade your father's great god at all, I want to say a word, he can use ten sentences to give me back." Moreover, I think 500 yuan a month is enough to spend. ”
