In the private room, a large table was almost filled with relatives.

When Liu Ting's parents saw this, they both frowned and did not even look at Wang Zhongqiu seriously.

Her mother patted the empty chair next to her: "Xiaoting, come and sit."

There was only one chair left, but no room for Wang Zhongqiu. It was enough to show how much Wang Zhongqiu didn't want to see him.

His cousin-in-law's name was He Zhan. He said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would come here and not reserve a seat for you. There is a place at the door. You can bring a plastic stool to sit on it and call the waiter."

Add a set of cutlery.”

Being ridiculed by He Zhan, Wang Zhongqiu gritted his teeth and endured it with all his strength. He found a plastic stool and sat down. Even the disposable tableware brought by the waiter was different from others and not as exquisite as theirs.

My cousin gave me a treat today at noon to celebrate the promotion of my husband, He Zhan, to the Chief of the Political Affairs Section of the Education Bureau.

Don't underestimate this political and engineering stock. It also has two brands: Daiding County Language Office and County Graduate Employment Management Office.

Mainly responsible for cadre personnel, human resources, organizational establishment, family planning, party building, disciplinary inspection and supervision, ideology, united front, retired personnel management and services of various units of the government and education system. The power is quite large.

For this reason, after the original stockholder retired from the position, there were no fewer than five people vying for this position.

He Zhan was able to stand out in the end because he found the right person and sent enough money.

The whole family was so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days. My cousin thought about it and decided to invite her relatives to have a meal to congratulate her and take this opportunity to show off.

He Zhan currently has the highest official rank and status in the entire family, and his ancestral graves are still smoking.

Naturally, when He stood firmly and sat in an upright position, even his father-in-law and mother-in-law had to sit beside him, demonstrating his incomparable dignity and status.

At this time, He Zhan's face was glowing red, and he showed the aura of a superior. He sat upright and basically used his lower eyelids to look at people, especially Wang Zhongqiu who was standing opposite him.

Even though he was selling goods all over the place, he was not as elegant as him, so he couldn't help but feel happy and show off his power even more.

He took out a box of Chinese soft drinks, took out one and put it in his mouth, and started smoking without anyone asking him to.

Spewing out a long line of smoke, He Zhan said to Wang Zhongqiu playfully: "Teacher Wang, how did I hear that you were assigned by Lao Wu to teach at Duoshan Township Middle School? Are there any difficulties? If you don't want to go,

I'll tell Old Wu later, after all, you are also a relative of the family. If Old Wu dares not to give you this face, I won't take care of him."

This statement sounds like an attempt to avenge Wang Zhongqiu, but in fact it is highly ironic.

Liu Ting only thought that Wang Zhongqiu would not mention this matter, but she ignored that He Zhan was at the Education Bureau, so what could be hidden from him.

So she immediately took up the topic and said: "Cousin-in-law, I didn't want to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival at first, but Principal Wu took a fancy to him, so the whole school gave him a teaching position. It's only for one year, and the patience is over, and there is still a chance to participate in the evaluation when he comes back.

of."

When her father heard this, he immediately went crazy, "What's going on? Wang Zhongqiu, did you offend Principal Wu? Why did I send you to the countryside for such a good job!"

Her mother curled her lips and said, "Old Liu, you are asking too much. Isn't it Wang Zhongqiu's character not to offend the leader?" She quickly put on a smile and said, "Her cousin-in-law, aren't you the chief of the political work section? Who among the following principals won't do it?"

To save your face, go and talk to Principal Wu and keep Wang Zhongqiu. If the matter is done, Third Auntie will give you a big red envelope."

He Zhan's mother-in-law, who was the second eldest child, naturally protected her son-in-law and said, "Third sister, it's not that the second sister doesn't care about this matter. Wang Zhongqiu is just Xiaoting's boyfriend. You think my uncle will have a big problem if he talks back."

Favor, once the matter is settled, if Wang Zhongqiu and Xiaoting fail, the favor will be in vain."

"That's the truth." Liu Ting's mother muttered.

In turn, he asked Wang Zhongqiu, "What do your parents mean by the conditions I mentioned? It's not okay to keep putting it off like this. If you can afford it, our Liu Ting can't afford it."

"Auntie, my parents are both farmers. They earn so little money all year round to barely maintain food and clothing. The gift of 200,000 yuan and a house in the city cost hundreds of thousands in total. There is no way we can afford so much money. Let us

If I save some money, I will definitely give Xiaoting a happy home..."

"Yes!" Liu Ting's father repeatedly waved his hand to stop him, "I'm tired of hearing this, it's always like this every time. You said you were poor and we couldn't bear it, and then you sent yourself to the countryside to teach. If you get married, then

Having to live in two places separately is not a long-term solution. I think we should get rid of this matter as soon as possible."

Liu Ting did not sit in the seat reserved for her by her parents, but went to Wang Zhongqiu's side.

Hearing the harsh words from his parents, he secretly grabbed Wang Zhongqiu's wrist from underneath, secretly reminding him not to get angry, but to endure it if he could, otherwise it would be even worse if he couldn't get over it.

Wang Zhongqiu naturally knew the meaning of the word "pull down", so he took a few breaths and held back a word without saying a word.

When my cousin saw this, she didn't forget to sprinkle a handful of salt on the wound.

"That's what my third uncle said. People tend to get better at being mixed up. You are like my He Zhan. He was an ordinary employee of the Education Bureau five years ago. After working as a secretary for Director Chen for two years, he first mentioned the deputy director of the office. This time

He was promoted to chief of the political work section, and I think in a few years, he might become deputy director."

Then he turned his ecstatic eyes to Liu Ting and said, "Sister, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. You have to be careful. If you don't choose a husband well, your whole life will be ruined."

When I heard it at He Zhan, I felt even more delighted and wondered how high and thick the sky was.

He cleared his throat and said, "Don't mention it anymore, no worries." He took the lead in picking up the wine glass, "I'm calling everyone together at noon today. It's been a long time since we got together. Come on, fill up the wine, and let's have a drink together.

.”

Immediately, other relatives seconded the suggestion: "Congratulations on your promotion to stock manager He Da. I will take good care of everyone in the future."

"Yes, if you become the county leader one day, our whole family will benefit from it."

"Low-key, low-key." He Zhan said, his face already glowing with peach blossoms, and he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.

Wang Zhongqiu was not in the mood to drink at all, so he poured a glass of mineral water and started drinking by himself.

No one paid any attention to him anyway, even if he drank air, no one cared about him.

Only Liu Ting picked up food for him and took good care of him.

After three rounds of drinking, He went out to use the restroom and came back. He said this to his wife with an extremely serious expression, but his voice was so loud that everyone at the table could hear him.

"I just saw Director Chen in the bathroom. He was having dinner with County Magistrate Yang and others. I have to go toast him with a drink and buy the order by the way."

My cousin was also nervous and nodded in support of her husband's behavior.

"Okay, I'll go right away." He Zhan stood up again, holding a wine glass and asking the waiter for a bottle of Wuliangye. It was estimated that the boss drank a good and valuable wine, and he couldn't handle low-end wine.

He was about to go out, but Liu Ting called out: "Cousin-in-law, I want to ask you a favor."

"Say." He Zhan still gave Liu Ting some face and was not in a hurry to leave.

"You bring Zhongqiu with you. That table is full of brains from your education system. Let Zhongqiu see it. If you get involved, you don't have to go to the countryside to teach." Liu Ting said so sincerely that she almost

Asked him.

Wang Zhongqiu came up stubborn and was about to refuse and wanted to announce his new job in public.

But when she saw the pleading look in Liu Ting's eyes, her heart immediately softened, and she swallowed all the words that came to her lips.

The strange thing is that He Zhan hesitated for a moment and then agreed for the first time.

It's not that he is out of kindness, but he wants to take the opportunity to show off to Wang Zhongqiu how popular I am standing in front of Director Chen.

Wang Zhongqiu couldn't stand Liu Ting's pleading look, so he had to follow He Zhan out of the private room and walked to the other side.

"When you meet Bureau Chen and the others later, you are not allowed to say anything. Just watch." After saying that, he handed the wine bottle to Wang Zhongqiu and asked him to be responsible for pouring the wine and serving it.

When He Zhan knocked on the door of the large private room, his arrogant face suddenly burst into laughter.

He nodded and bowed to everyone present, especially Deputy County Magistrate Yang Mei, who was sitting at the head.

Yang Mei is the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education and health, and she is responsible for the entire Daiding County education system. Naturally, the leaders of the Education Bureau here have long treated her like a guest and respected her.

However, when Director Chen of the Education Bureau accidentally saw Wang Zhongqiu behind He Zhan, he looked surprised and whispered a few words to Yang Mei beside him.
