Yao Cui and Yao Li were carrying dishes out one after another, while Yao's father and mother Yao warmly greeted Dong Xuebin to sit down, their expressions still a little reserved.
"The meal is ready."
"County Magistrate Dong, please eat quickly."
"Yes, try my Cui'er's craftsmanship."
"The tea is cold, Xiaoli, please save some water for County Magistrate Dong!"
"Don't try too hard to make a new cup of tea. The tea leaves are on the coffee table!"
Yao's father and Yao's mother each spoke one sentence, and Dong Xuebin didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and looked at Yao Cui. Seeing that she continued to serve the dishes without any reaction, Dong Xuebin had to say to Yao's father and Yao's mother: "Auntie, uncle, please don't be so polite to me.
I'm really not used to it. Yao Cui and I have been classmates for so many years. We have always had a good relationship when we were in college. Don't treat me like an outsider. Wasn't it nice to do that yesterday?"
Mother Yao said with a sarcastic smile: "Yesterday, didn't I know you were the deputy county magistrate yesterday?"
After serving the dishes, Yao Li seemed a little uneasy and carefully sat on the chair, which was very awkward.
In their eyes, the deputy county magistrate is a very powerful official. How many deputy magistrates are there in the entire county? That is a leader at the deputy division level, not to mention that Dong Xuebin is the most powerful executive deputy among the deputy county magistrates.
He is the county magistrate, and he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. Sometimes the other deputy county magistrates have to listen to him, so of course they can't relax. They always feel that whenever Dong Xuebin sits there, there is always a wave of pressure coming over him.
Dong Xuebin said hurriedly: "It really doesn't matter. He's the deputy county magistrate. He's just called that. Yao Cui and I are not outsiders. If you two think highly of me, just call me Xiao Dong."
Yao's mother immediately said: "Don't say goodbye, how can that be done!"
Father Yao also said: "Yes. This is inappropriate. It is inappropriate."
Yao Cui couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted with a smile: "Dad, Mom, you two, don't do that, and don't be polite to Xue Bin. You are so polite to others and you don't feel comfortable. If Xiaodong doesn't call me, then you should call me Xiaodong too."
Let him learn from Bin, and Xiaoli calls him "Xue Bin, Brother Dong, that's all."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Yes, this is the best."
When Yao's father heard this, he stopped being pretentious and said, "That's okay."
Seeing that Dong Xuebin still had no airs, Yao's mother was also very happy, knowing that their family had met a noble person this time.
At this time, Father Yao was the first to raise his glass and stood up, "Dong County...Xue Bin, let me toast you first. Thank you for promoting my Cui'er."
Dong Xuebin also quickly stood up and raised his glass. He touched it with Yao's father and said, "Actually, I am asking Yao Cui for help. I am waiting for her to help me. I don't dare to accept this thank you. I respect you."
"No, no, I respect you."
"You are an elder, and I respect you."
"That won't work, I must respect you."
"Anyway... let's do it."
"Okay, done!"
Just after finishing the glass, Yao Cui stood up gently again, smiled and poured herself a glass of wine, picked it up and said: "Xuebin, I want to toast you too."
Dong Xuebin said quickly: "No, no, you just have a cold, don't drink."
Yao's father knew what to do, so he said, "I must let Cui'er give you a toast."
Yao Cui also nodded and said: "I have to drink this cup. I won't say anything more. Anyway... thank you."
"Look at how polite you are, then... that's fine, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Dong Xuebin raised his glass and clinked it with her.
After Dong Xuebin finished drinking, he found that Yao Cui was not hesitant at all, and actually drank the liquor in one gulp, which was very satisfying.
In fact, Dong Xuebin has been saying since noon that he needs Yao Cui, a local, to help sort out relationships when he first arrived. He also said this when he first entered the Yao family compound, but both Yao Cui and Yao's father and mother actually understand that,
To be familiar with relationships and carry out work, finding another secretary is not necessarily worse than Yao Cui. There is no need to ask, and sorting out relationships does not necessarily require a secretary. Moreover, Yao Cui is the lowest-level clerk, so he understands
There won't be too many things, so they all know that this reason is only a small aspect. Dong Xuebin wants to help a group of old classmates more, so he mentioned Yao Cui as secretary and deputy director. This is the most important thing.
of.
This sentiment is deserved.
So this wine must be drank.
While eating, Yao Cui suddenly said: "Xuebin, I don't know how you got here after graduating from college. Why did you suddenly become such a big official?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "It's mostly luck, didn't I say it?"
Yao Cui smiled and said: "Come on, haha, I don't believe it."
Dong Xuebin said: "I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. In fact, I don't know where to start. I will tell you slowly when I have the opportunity in the future."
"Well, let's eat the food first. How did I do?"
"It's delicious. It's much better at cooking than mine. I don't have to choose."
"Then eat more. Come and try this dish again. This is my specialty."
…
An hour later.
After dinner, Dong Xuebin said goodbye and went back.
Yao Cui originally wanted to see him off, so she sent Dong Xuebin out of the yard, but Dong Xuebin still let Yao Cui go back on the grounds that she just had a cold, and he took the bus.
In the courtyard.
As soon as Yao Cui came back, her father and mother called her into the house.
"Tui'er, your classmates have become successful this time." Yao's father was filled with emotion.
"More than just being successful? He is simply reaching the sky in one step. You may not know the system in the system. The general promotion system is mentioned every three years, but Xuebin has only worked for three years and has reached this level. Absolutely every level
They are all exceptional promotions. There is probably no one like this in our province. The executive deputy county magistrate is only 25 years old. Our county is relatively poor. If it had been from other counties, it would probably scare a lot of people.
." Yao Cui said with a smile: "Actually, I couldn't believe it when I saw him in the executive deputy county magistrate's office today. You must know that Xuebin was quiet in college, with average grades, average personality, and average everything.
I didn't expect that he would reach this point step by step. When the college classmates get together one day, all those people will be so shocked! Haha, do you still remember the classmate I told you? I also told you about it.
Xuebin and I were in the same class. Later, I read his information and introduction online with my friends. He was an official, and his level had reached the level of associate subject. His tone was a bit showy. But compared with Xuebin, he was not an official at all.
There's no way to compare, it's so different, it's not on the same level at all."
"Is this the one you said you were flirting with online?" Yao's mother asked.
Yao Cui hummed, "That's him. When I was chatting with Xue Bin two days ago, I was too embarrassed to say some things to Xue Bin. Anyway, the tone of that person talking to me made me uncomfortable."
Yao Li smiled honestly, "Sister, your current official is almost the same as that person, and even has much higher power than him."
Mother Yao pursed her lips, "Look at County Magistrate Dong. He has no airs at all. He can't be compared."
Yao Cui smiled and said: "Xuebin used to be very low-key and kind, otherwise we would often have dinner together. I liked his personality very much when I was in college. With old classmates and old friends, Xuebin will definitely not put on airs. He is not like that
I understand this kind of person with such a character."
Mother Yao glanced at him, "Then why didn't you two have a date?"
Yao Cui said speechlessly: "Mom, the more you talk, the more you talk."
"Everyone is already married. It's useless to say anything now. Alas." Yao's mother felt a little regretful.
Yao's father lamented: "This is why people should not be judged by their appearance. Sometimes, the more inconspicuous people in school are, the better off they will be in the future. Who can tell me clearly about some things?"
Mother Yao reminded: "Cui'er, you must quickly establish a good relationship with County Magistrate Dong."
Father Yao interrupted: "The relationship between the two was very good before, why do they need to do this? If the relationship was normal, County Magistrate Dong would not mention our Cui'er. He would definitely let Cui'er be his secretary.
I have great trust and confidence in Tweety. Now that we have enough of a relationship, the main thing is to see if Tweety can make some achievements at work. We must seize this opportunity. If we do well, it will be no problem to be devolved to a mayor in the future.
.”
"That's right, Cui'er, you have to work hard." Yao's mother said.
Yao Cui smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure yet. What kind of job is a secretary? I'll have to ask people to find out."
"Didn't you work in the secretarial department for three years?"
"The secretarial department is a secretarial department, and it is not the same concept as the leader's secretary. Of course, I don't know anything about it, but there are some things that I need to pay attention to."
"Then you have to ask quickly so you don't make any mistakes."
"I'll try my best. Even if it's not for myself, I don't want to cause trouble to Xue Bin. If he offends someone because I didn't do my job well, then I would be embarrassed."
The Yao family talked about this topic for a long time.
When their daughter was promoted to an official, Father Yao and Mother Yao were very excited and talked a lot.
…
It's past seven o'clock.
Suddenly, Mother Yao asked, "Tui'er, the secretary of the executive deputy county magistrate in our alley is very famous. Are you..."
Yao Cui looked at her mother, "What is it?"
Yao's mother said, "How about finding a job for your brother?"
Yao Cui thought about it, "I just mentioned this matter...and what should I say? Call the factory? Say you want my brother?"
Father Yao smiled and said, "I think it's okay, so what's the point?"
"Who knows me?" Yao Cui felt it was inappropriate.
Yao's father criticized: "You still don't have the consciousness to be an official now. You don't care what they think. Just call him directly. Solve your brother's work first, otherwise Xiaoli will stay at home like this every day."
It’s not a big deal, by the way, factories can’t do it.”
Yao's mother also said: "Yes, the factories are too tired, and government agencies and public institutions are now taking exams. Your brother will definitely not be able to do it if he is not knowledgeable, but state-owned enterprises can still do it."
Yao Cuihan said: "State-owned enterprise?"
Mother Yao said unreasonably: "Anyway, you have to take care of your brother's affairs! As a sister, who cares about you?"
