Chapter 578: Just One Word
At about 9:30 in the morning, a tall and muscular figure slowly walked over and appeared in everyone's sight.
Accompanied by deep sorrow and joy, he bowed deeply three times to Gu Lao's body.
Then he walked slowly around the body for more than half a circle to pay homage to his appearance.
Finally, he came to Gu Zhengchuan, held his hands together and chatted for a few words.
Then, he shook hands with Gu Zhengchuan's wife, Gu Zhenggang, Gu Hongyan and Shui Qingzhang to comfort him.
Further behind are Gu Chuang, Gu Han, Gu Liuyan and Shui Tingyue.
When it was Li Yuanlang's turn, he unexpectedly said something when shaking hands: "Your name is Li Yuanlang? I know you. I'm sorry."
"Thank you." Li Yuanlang was quite touched, and it was not surprising that he was even excited.
He is a small county-level cadre, but for his leaders to know about him, how honored and proud he must be!
Looking at the country, there are hundreds of thousands of cadres at the division level. Li Yuanlang actually occupies a place in the minds of the leaders. It is more than just a simple knowledge.
Another one was an accident.
Because when he shook hands with his grandchildren, he only spoke to Li Yuanlang, and the others just shook hands.
Even a small action or a word reflects an extraordinary side.
Standing at the head were Gu Zhengchuan, Gu Zhenggang, and even Gu Hongyanshui Qingzhang and his wife, all of whom had a panoramic view.
Everyone has mixed feelings and different thoughts in their heart.
How virtuous and capable is Li Yuanlang, that the leader would take the initiative to talk to him?
Also, what was he talking about?
Naturally, Gu Hongyan and Shui Qingzhang were satisfied. It was definitely a good sign to be recognized by their leaders on such an occasion.
Afterwards, other leaders appeared one after another according to their ranking.
Li Yuanlang's biggest feeling is that these people have such a strong aura that even if they stand there without saying a word, they give people a strong sense of oppression.
This is majesty, a majestic aura of a superior person.
The entire farewell ceremony lasted for more than two hours, with thousands of people present to bid farewell to the old man.
Among these people, there are a few familiar faces.
The Jin family sent their second son Jin Youbai and Jin Weixin.
The Wang family is represented by Wang Minghong.
The eldest son of the Ye family is naturally Ye Mingren.
He is now setting up a team with Gu Zhengchuan in Nanling Province, and he comes here for both public and private matters.
Wang Minghong has entered the game and has a distinguished status.
After he shook hands with everyone one by one, when it was Li Yuanlang's turn, he deliberately increased the force.
Immediately behind Wang Minghong was a middle-aged man of medium height, wearing glasses, and a fairly amiable appearance.
Very stylish, but compared to the others just now, their aura is not as strong.
I heard Gu Zhengchuan say: "Secretary Xue."
Li Yuanlang decisively judged that this person must be Xue Yongxiang.
When Xue Yongxiang shook hands with Li Yuanlang, his expression was calm and normal.
Ye Mingren, however, had a lot of fun. He held Li Yuanlang's hand and said, "Sorry, cheer up." He also patted Li Yuanlang's shoulder gently.
Although Kim Woo-baek and Li Yuan-lang met several times, they basically had zero exchanges with each other. Their expressions were indifferent. They shook hands and immediately let go, then turned and left.
However, Jin Weixin also said a few words, "Yuen Long, you have to be grieving and accept the change, and take good care of your family. They need you."
Whether it's true or not, at least it sounds comfortable.
"Thanks."
In this kind of situation, after all, there are many people with many eyes, and there are only a few words that can be said, but one look and one movement can mean many things.
The entire farewell ceremony lasted for nearly two hours. Afterwards, the old man's body was placed in a crystal coffin and sent for cremation accompanied by his family members, the director of the general office and others.
According to the old man's last wish, the ashes will be divided into two parts, one part will be buried with his wife in the cemetery, and the other part will be buried in his hometown, next to the graves of his parents.
That night, the news of the farewell to the old man's body was broadcast on TV.
In the picture, apart from the children of the Gu family, only Li Yuanlang appears among the grandchildren, and it is the scene when the leader shakes hands with him and talks.
When having dinner at home that night, Gu Zhenggang first raised this issue.
"Yuen Long, what did the leader say to you at that time?"
Gu Zhengchuan said meaningfully: "Second brother, this is a secret. Li Yuanlang can talk to you and us at will. Don't forget organizational discipline."
"I'm too talkative, just pretend I didn't ask." Gu Zhenggang quickly took back his words, picked up his wine glass and took a sip of punishment to cover up his embarrassment.
Li Yuanlang explained: "Actually, it doesn't matter. We are all family members, so it doesn't hurt to talk. He only said that he knew me at the time and nothing else."
"Oops!" Gu Hongyan was the first to be surprised before anyone else could say anything.
"I haven't said anything else yet, it would be a great thing if your name is known to the leader!"
"Hongyan, please don't be surprised, okay? You just know, just polite words, nothing to make a fuss about." Gu Zhengchuan rolled his eyes at Gu Hongyan, with a strong sour taste in his expression.
"Brother, I don't think so." Gu Zhenggang said: "It is not easy for hundreds of thousands of county-level cadres to be remembered by others. Yuen Long, do your best, I am optimistic about you."
As he said this, he raised his wine glass, made gestures with Li Yuanlang in the distance, and drank the two drinks in one gulp.
Shui Qingzhang naturally saw that Gu Zhengchuan had pink eye, and did not want to provoke Gu Zhengchuan and attack Li Yuanlang because of this topic.
So he changed the subject and talked about the old man's arrangements after his funeral.
Gu Zhengchuan just took the opportunity of the whole family being present to announce that he would represent the whole family and work with relevant department personnel to escort the old man's other half's ashes back to his hometown and bury them next to his grandparents' graves.
As for the rest of the family, they are very tired these days and should go back and rest early.
Starting from tomorrow, you can return to your respective jobs. He will inform everyone if anything happens.
After eating, the juniors dispersed one after another.
Only the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family remained, and even Gu Zhengchuan's wife and Shui Qingzhang did not stay. The three of them had something to say, and they even invited Ah Cai to participate.
Ah Cai looked lonely and had not yet gotten over the grief of the old man's death.
Gu Zhengchuan spoke first, "Brother Cai, according to regulations, the guards, secretaries, health doctors and other staff here must be evacuated. I am in Nanling Province, my second brother is in Anjiang, my younger sister is in Donghe, and none of us are in the capital... You
What are your plans for the future?”
He was embarrassed to say it directly, the old man was gone and the house was empty.
This is not a house with two rooms, but a large courtyard. There are twenty or thirty rooms in total. How should we arrange it next, especially where Ah Cai will go.
Gu Zhengchuan proposed on behalf of the family and wanted to hear Ah Cai's own thoughts.
"Young Master, I understand." Ah Cai held back the tears in his eyes and asked sadly: "Are the houses here going to be taken back?"
"There are such regulations, but the general office will fully respect the opinions of our families and see how we arrange it."
Ah Cai sighed, raised his head and looked around every corner of the room.
This was the old man's study room during his lifetime. It still maintains its original appearance when the old man left. It seems that the old man's breath still lingers in the air.
"If..." Ah Cai sighed: "If I don't cause you any trouble, I want to stay here and show you the house..."
When he said these words, he lowered his head deeply, as if he was making an undue request. He was extremely embarrassed, and his voice was as low as a mosquito's cry.
Gu Zhenggang nodded understandingly and said, "Brother Cai has feelings for this place. If you want to stay, then you can stay."
Gu Zhengchuan looked at the problem from another angle. He said: "Such a big house requires at least six to eight servants to maintain normal operation. Of course, we can afford the money. The key is that the three of us are here
Will there be any adverse effects in the system?"
Gu Hongyan spoke quickly and retorted: "What impact can it have? If it doesn't work, just hire someone in the name of Gu Chuang. Anyway, he is not short of money."
"Why are you bringing the adult's affairs to Gu Chuang? Don't look for trouble." Gu Zhengchuan's eyes almost widened when he heard Gu Hongyan's words.
Gu Zhenggang once again acted as a peacemaker, waving his hand to stop the war that was about to break out between the brothers and sisters, and persuaded: "You two should stop arguing, arguing will not solve the problem."
Then he looked at Ah Cai and said slowly: "Brother Cai, what my eldest brother means is that if you leave such a big house, hiring someone to take care of it is afraid of causing criticism. So, I think it's better to buy you a house.
You can choose the capital or any place. Please rest assured that we will take good care of your life in your later years."
After listening to this, Ah Cai slowly raised his head, his bright eyes turning cloudy.
