"My dear friend, Director Wang..." I saw Director Wang holding Anping's hand as if he were an old friend for many years, shaking it again and again with a smile on his face, but when he turned to him, he actually cursed in his mouth.
He had joined the ranks of his friends, and he had the intention of leaving at any time if Anping said a word. Hongjia's uncle was dumbfounded and wanted to step forward to stop Wang Ping, but he was too timid to step forward. In the end, he was stunned.
He stood there in shock, not knowing what to do.
"Old Li, courtesy reciprocates and people are kind. You accepted my gift back then, and I returned it today. I have something else to do, so I left first. Well, I wish you a happy birthday..." He expressed it immediately.
Attitude, although Anping did not speak, Director Wang obviously felt that Anping's hand was a little stronger. This was a sign of recognition for himself. The smile on Director Wang's face became stronger, and he looked at Uncle Hongjia.
With a bit more disgust on his face, he suddenly took out two big bills from his pocket and threw them on the dining table next to him, making it clear that he wanted to draw a clear line with Lao Li.
Wang Ping doesn't want to comment on Lao Li's character. It has nothing to do with him. But to drive Anping's family out is simply to form a deadly feud. Not to mention that Anping is an upstart in the suburban county officialdom. He is just a trafficker.
The lackey was afraid that he would not be able to swallow this breath. It can be said that there is no chance for relaxation between the two people. At this time, Anping helped Anping hold on, and Anping could not be grateful to him. The definition of this friend is actually very simple at some times.
of.
"Anping, Wang Ping? Haha, we both have the word "ping", and we met in this strange place. What does this mean? It means that we two brothers are destined. You must give me this face today..."
While chatting with Anping, he swept the whole place with cold eyes, as if he wanted to keep everyone who came to the birthday banquet in mind. As the first deputy director of the Economic Commission, Wang Ping is famous for his ruthlessness in the economic and trade system.
, Everyone who knew Wang Ping well, especially the factory directors and managers in the economic and trade system, felt the meaning of this cold look, and felt guilty for no reason, and all of them consciously avoided this Shuoshuo.
look.
"Old Li, you've finished eating. Let's go first. Don't give it away..." No one is stupid who can become a factory director. When they saw Wang Ping's sullen face and cold eyes, almost everyone
Everyone knows that Lao Li offended Wang Ping to death, which means that Lao Li will lose power in the economic and trade system. They just came to have a cup of birthday wine, and the relationship is not strong enough yet. It is not worth following Lao Li to offend his boss.
boss.
So, as if they had reached an agreement, a large number of people stood up in response to Wang Ping's gaze, nodded slightly to Wang Ping, and then glanced at Lao Li with a playful tone,
Then he walked away without looking back. For a moment, the banquet that had not yet begun showed signs of ending hastily.
"What's going on? Who is that little brat..." The banquet has not yet begun. In the originally crowded restaurant, less than half of the people left the restaurant in a hurry, and many wine tables were completely empty. Although they left,
There were not many people, but those who left were all respectable leaders in the system. This was a shameless departure, which was undoubtedly a hard slap on Lao Li's face. The old man looked at him dumbfounded.
On the spot, Hongjia's aunt shook the fat on her cheeks, rolled her eyes and asked sternly, with a tone that wanted to tear Anping alive.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on? Why are all the guests leaving..." When the family was stunned and didn't know what to do, Li Hongxin, the eldest son of the Li family who had been accompanying the guests in the private room, heard the news and ran out.
, looking at the empty hall and the harsh comments of the guests, his face turned blue and white, and he hurriedly asked the reason.
"It's just that little Li Hongjia. He found a mistress out of nowhere. He had no place to sit and didn't know how to find it on his own. Instead, he made arrogant remarks. We quarreled with him and told him to get away as far as he could.
Yuan. I don’t know what kind of evil he bumped into, but that guy actually knew Director Wang. As a result, Director Wang lost his temper, and a bunch of guests followed Director Wang away. That kid’s name is Ping Lai, yes, Anping,*
**, I'll have someone find him later, and I won't break his legs..." Hongjia's aunt didn't realize there was anything wrong with her family's character. Instead, she blamed Anping's head, and she even wanted to kill him.
Take more brutal revenge against Anping.
"Anping? Ah, Mayor An? Parents, you are confused. Mayor An is the youngest official in the suburban county. Many people have speculated that he will become the deputy county magistrate before he is thirty years old. He is so distinguished.
Guests, if you can’t invite others to invite you, it’s better for you. They come to celebrate their birthdays in person, but you actually want to ask them to get out? Director Wang didn’t turn your table over, I’m afraid he’ll save face for you..." Li Hongxin is also in the system.
He was a cadre who was not a little better than his philistine sister and uneducated brother, and he knew the most about the situation in the county. When he heard that the person his mother was scolding viciously was actually an upstart in the official circles of Anping, a suburban county,
There was an expression of dumbfounding on his face.
"But it doesn't matter. Isn't Mayor An Hong Jia's partner? He is a relative of us. It's not surprising for those who don't know. Let's give him a gift and say something nice to the second aunt. We will have a long relationship in the future. After all,
Blood is thicker than water, and with Er Aunt and Hong Jia in the middle, he can't go too far. As long as he is willing to recognize this relative, the leaders of the economic committee will have to give him face. How can our family be better in the future? By the way,
Where's the second aunt? I saw her coming just now..." The more I thought about it, the more likely it was, and the more I talked about it, the more promising it was. Li Hongxin's face showed a bit of excitement, and he suddenly thought of Li Hongjia's mother again.
Hoping to grasp this last straw.
"Your second aunt, alas, your second aunt was also kicked out by your mother. Before she left, she even told your second uncle. I'm afraid we won't have any contact with him again..." Director Wang treated An Ping with a kind and deliberate expression.
To please, it all fell into Lao Li's face. If Anping's identity had been known earlier, wouldn't he have been sacrificed? In Lao Li's eyes, Anping was not only the mayor, but also the God of Wealth. As long as Anping helped,
, the acquisition of Wujinjiaodian Shopping Mall was probably just a matter of his words, but when the God of Wealth came to visit, he was actually kicked out by his own family. At this moment, Lao Li not only hated himself for being blind, but he almost regretted it.
"The second aunt has also been kicked out. It's over, it's over..." Listening to his father recount what happened before, it was like a basin of cold water that completely doused Li Hongxin's excitement just now.
The mother's big, plump face seemed to have fire in her eyes.
…
After all, Li Hongjia and her daughter were with him. No matter how much Anping expressed his deep gratitude to Director Wang for his help, he could not abandon them and go drink with Director Wang alone. Therefore, Anping politely declined Director Wang's kind invitation. However,
, Director Wang is a caring person. He even saw with his own eyes that Anping and the others were wronged at the banquet. He also wanted to give Anping some relief and bluntly pointed out that Uncle Hongjia's character was bad and he would kill him when he returned.
Step on it.
That's not all. Director Wang made it clear that he wanted to establish a good personal relationship with Anping, and even tentatively asked Anping if he wanted to take over the Wujinjiaodian shopping mall. It seemed that as long as Anping nodded, the Wujinjiaodian shopping mall would respectfully offer it.
Generally speaking, this made Anping feel a little moved. It seemed that taking down this shopping mall and handing it over to Hongjia's mother would not only steal the spotlight from Uncle Hongjia's family, but also give the old man something to do and rekindle his career.
The second spring is also a good choice.
After returning home, Anping looked at the indignant Hong Jia and the silent aunt, and felt a little uncomfortable. If he hadn't attended the birthday party today, he might not have been able to understand the hardships of orphans and widowed mothers.
My dear uncles looked down on these two women, so you can imagine what kind of attitude outsiders would have. Anping said guiltily: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I have been with Hong Jiali for so long, I only care about myself."
I’m already at work, and I’ve never asked about family matters…”
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, Anping, are you hungry? Auntie will cook for you..." She forced out a smile. Hongjia's mother felt lonely and her eyes were wet.
There are many difficulties in front of the widow's house. She has always dared not fight or rob with others. Even if she suffered a loss, she would bear it silently for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. If Anping hadn't been here today,
, then my mother and I are afraid that they will be looked down upon by others again.
"Auntie, don't worry about cooking. There's nothing going on tonight, but there's something I want to discuss with you. Just now, Director Wang said that the Wujinjiaodian shopping mall in the county needs to be reorganized. It can be rented or sold. You have been in the mall.
I am familiar with the work, and I would like to ask if you are interested in taking over. In addition, the place where we live is a bit remote, and the environment is not good. In winter, there are coal and firewood, and it is all manual work. You are older.
"Hongjia doesn't have much energy, so this job is a burden. It just so happens that the County Agricultural Committee is planning to build a fund-raising building, and I want to buy you a set..." Whether Wujinjiaodian Mall will accept it depends on Hongjia's mother's wishes.
But buying a house is a matter of time, and now Anping is also a well-known person. Putting it into the schedule in advance can also save Hongjia and her daughter some worries.
"Buying a house is a serious matter. From now on, when you and Hong Jia get married, you have to have a place to live. Is this the rent? You have only been working for a few years and how much savings do you have? Don't be embarrassed. As for the hardware mall, I'm in the mall.
He is just an ordinary warehouse clerk. He neither knows management nor purchasing, so he can't do it..." After listening to Anping's words, Hongjia's mother was a little moved. The hardware mall was out of reach for her. Basically,
I don’t want to think about it anymore, but buying a house is a big deal. I have lived a life of smoke and fire, so how can I be willing to let my daughter suffer like me? Of course I would be willing to live in a heating building.
