In the entire Tianjiang Province, except for the former governor Qin Ge who has been transferred from Tianjiang, currently only Secretary Lu, Xu Lizhong and Ye Ming know about the special relationship between Yi Xiaonan and Director Wu.
Director Wu is a very cautious and thoughtful person. When his nephew went to work at the Tianjiang Provincial Government Office, he went through a back door. Therefore, he repeatedly told Yi Xiaonan: After going to work in Tianjiang, he must keep a low profile and keep a low profile. He must not
Never mention that you are my nephew to anyone other than Secretary Lu and Governor Qin. Therefore, even the current governor Ni Xiaohu does not know that Director Wu’s nephew works in the government office.
Although Yi Xiaonan is young, he has inherited his uncle's character and style. He is very calm and low-key, very diligent and down-to-earth, and has a good reputation in government offices. In order to help him get promoted, Secretary Lu specially asked Xu Lizhong to come forward and secretly communicate with the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government.
Say hello
Phew, he said that Yi Xiaonan was a distant relative of his and asked him to take good care of him. Therefore, after Yi Xiaonan had worked for two years, he was promoted to section chief, and the annual civil servant evaluation was "excellent" for him.
This laid a solid foundation for future promotions.
Ye Ming and Yi Xiaonan were introduced to each other by Xu Lizhong. They were not much different in age and both were erudite and talented young people. Therefore, the two hit it off and became good friends after two or three dates. They talked about everything for two years.
Recently, Ye Ming used Li Wen as a matchmaker to introduce a girlfriend to Yi Xiaonan. She was a female reporter from the provincial TV station who had not been working for a long time. Her name was Su Qingshu. She was also very beautiful. They were already talking about marriage.
Discussing the stage of marriage...
Ye Ming sat in Yi Xiaonan's office for a while, chatted with him casually, and asked him to have dinner with him at noon. Then he left the provincial government compound and went to a nearby hotel to book a small box and sit in the box.
Wait for Yi Xiaonan to come over.
Not long after he sat down, Xu Lizhong called and asked if he was with Yi Xiaonan. After learning that Yi Xiaonan had not arrived yet, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Ming: "Brother, you can ask Yi Xiaonan later."
Xiaonan revealed a piece of news: the chief intends to transfer him to the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat Division 2 and promote him to deputy director of the Division 2. You can also tell him:
At two o'clock today at noon, the chief is going to spend half an hour to meet with him and ask him to make some preparations and summarize his work and achievements in the past few years. Then he will simply make a report to the chief. You
When I have dinner with him, I will also call him and formally inform him to go to the chief's office."
Ye Ming happily agreed repeatedly.
At five minutes after twelve o'clock, Yi Xiaonan arrived at the box reserved by Ye Ming on time.
After the two people sat down, Yi Xiaonan said in an apologetic tone: "Brother Ming, when you were murdered and injured not long ago, I was on a business trip out of town. I just returned to the unit yesterday and didn't have time to visit you in the hospital. I'm really sorry."
Ye Ming hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother, what you said makes it clear. We are close friends who love each other. There is no need to worry about these minutiae, right?"
At this point, he asked with a concerned tone: "How are you and Xiao Su's wedding preparations going? When will we be invited to a wedding banquet?"
When Yi Xiaonan heard him mention the matter of marriage, the look on her face dimmed, and she sighed softly and said: "Brother Ming, you know me very well. Let me tell you the truth: My family has long urged me to get married, but Su Qingshu
My parents said: They don’t need the bride price, but before they get married,
I must buy a new house in the provincial capital, and the new house must be in the city center. Otherwise, they will not marry their daughter to me. Nowadays, housing in the city center costs more than 20,000 per square meter. Even if I buy a house for 100,000
A small house of about 2 million square meters would cost more than 2 million. For example
If you get a mortgage loan, the down payment will be 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. And you know the situation in my family: let alone 800,000 yuan for the down payment, even if it is 80,000 yuan, I still have to ask my uncle for help. Moreover, with my current salary
, not only to protect my personal expenses, but also to bear my father’s expenses
Medical expenses, my sister’s education expenses, and the monthly mortgage are simply not affordable. My uncle promised to support me with 200,000 yuan to buy a house, but he couldn’t afford more, but this 200,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket! For this
I'm so worried that my hair has turned gray!"
Ye Ming also knew the situation in Su Qingshu's family relatively well: her parents were both employees of a cotton spinning factory in the provincial capital. They had already been laid off, and the family's finances were relatively tight. They finally spent money to raise a precious daughter who was a reporter on a provincial TV station.
They definitely hope that their daughter will live a happier life. From this point of view, it is quite good that they do not want Yi Xiaonan's gift money. It is not too much to ask him to buy a house before getting married.
At the same time, Ye Ming also knew a lot about Yi Xiaonan's family situation. His hometown is in the most remote and poorest mountainous area in Xijiang Province, and his parents are out-and-out farmers. His father works in the coal mines all year round to support him and his sister.
While studying, he contracted silicosis in his forties. Not only did he lose his ability to work in his prime, but he also spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year on treatment.
At that time, Yi Xiaonan was in college, and his sister was in junior high school. The family had no financial resources at all. The expenses for him and his sister's studies and the money for his father's medical treatment were all borne by Director Wu. It was not until he started working that Director Wu
This support was discontinued.
And Director Wu is a very honest person. His son is currently studying abroad and is not financially well-off. If he is asked to support Yi Xiaonan in buying a house, it is basically impossible...
Therefore, when he heard Yi Xiaonan express his difficulties, Ye Ming asked in a caring tone: "Brother, what is Su Qingshu's attitude? Does she also insist on buying a new house before getting married?"
Yi Xiaonan nodded and said: "Yes, but I can completely understand her request: after all, among the reporters of the provincial TV station, she is outstanding in both appearance and talent. If she even has a suit when she gets married,
She doesn’t even have a house of her own, so she feels aggrieved and loses face in front of her colleagues, and I feel a little guilty myself.”
"Does she know your uncle's identity?"
"I don't know. I have never taken her to meet my uncle. Because we are still in the relationship stage and it is not confirmed that she will become my wife, so for the sake of safety, my uncle told me not to tell her his identity to avoid
In case we break up in the future, it will have a negative impact on him and me. However, if I get a marriage certificate from her, I can take her to visit my uncle and aunt."
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yi Xiaonan and said in a sincere tone: "Brother, regarding your marriage room problem, I have a solution, but I don't know if you are willing to accept it."
Yi Xiaonan couldn't wait to ask: "What can I do?"
"You have been to my house in the 'Ruihe Jiacheng' community near the Provincial Party Committee several times. It is more than 130 square meters. The structure of the house and the environment of the community are good, and it was built three years ago.
It's almost like a new house. I've been transferred to Beishan now, and I estimate that I will be transferred back to the provincial capital in a few years. Even if I occasionally return to the provincial capital, I can still live with my father-in-law at the Provincial Department of Finance.
That house is basically idle. My idea is: you can buy my house at any price, and you don’t need to pay now. I will help you go through the transfer procedures immediately. When will you have money?
Then pay me. In this case, you and Su Qingshu can get married on New Year's Day. If you believe me, just follow my suggestion, how about it?"
