Chapter 126
Director Qi walked into the middle and bowed and said, "Old Master Chen, on behalf of the municipal government, Mayor Wen Jizu wishes you all your wishes come true, healthy and happy, a hundred years of life, and a family of children and grandchildren. Mr., this is the picture of the centenary given to you by Mayor Wen." His voice was calm and his attitude was correct, and he was worthy of being a person representing the municipal government.
The old man took the gift, shook hands with him, and said, "Thank you for the government's care, thank you for the mayor's care!"
Two Evening News reporters carrying cameras and SLRs rushed out from behind, flickering at the flash of the two of them and took photos. Mayor Wang also had a gift, so the reporter took a few photos randomly.
Director Qi is really young and promising, but he is only twenty-seven or eight years old. However, he holds an important position, so the official invited him to sit down and Mayor Wang accompanied him.
Chen Zhijuan's son walked out of the back hall and whispered, "Grandpa, it's time for you to take medicine." The old man has always had high blood pressure and must take antihypertensive drugs on time. He was overly happy today, and his children and grandchildren were afraid that he would make any mistakes.
After apologizing to Director Qi, he followed his grandson into the back hall.
As the old man left, Director Qi immediately became the protagonist of the scene.
Chen Qingge leaned forward with a smile on his face and said, "Director Qi, I am Chen Qingge, deputy director of the Lihua Town Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Why not take this opportunity to report to you about the work of our institute this year."
Director Qi is the one who thinks he is? He said lightly: "Director Chen, today I celebrate the old man's birthday and don't talk about official affairs. Besides, if you want to report to work, you should also contact the supervisor and superior. I am just a small secretary and I can't afford to report to you."
"Haha, don't talk about official affairs, don't talk about official affairs." Chen Qingge scratched his head, and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He then pulled Chen Tianshi and said, "Director Qi, this is my son. He just passed the exam to Xiangda University. I heard that you are also a top student from Xiangda University..."
Seeing this, Chen Tianshi also thought quickly and bowed and shouted, "Hello, Senior Qi!"
Director Qi smiled and said, "I graduated from the Chinese Department of Zhonghai University. Someone may have met me at the last time at the Elephant Carnival. In fact, I accompanied Mayor Wen. Mayor Wen is the real Elephant High School student."
Chen Tianshi blushed to his ears, and he stood there in a daze and didn't know how to respond. Chen Qingge hurriedly said, "All college students are all the prides of heaven and the pillars of the country. What's the difference between the big elephant and big sea?"
The person was invited by the second brother, so the third brother should not be asked to steal the limelight. Chen Zhijuan said: "Director Qi, I built a farm in Hexi, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, unique scenery, and special side dishes at the farmhouse, which are delicious and delicious. You should enjoy more."
"Then let me talk about it, I may not be able to take time." Director Qi would not nod easily for such invitations. His trip represents Mayor Wen's face, and he should be careful when he says and acts.
Chen Hongwei was unwilling to fall behind and said, "Director Qi is a talented man who graduated from the Chinese Department of Zhonghai University. I heard that he is good at writing. I have a heartless request. I hope Director Qi will forgive me."
"Oh? Director Chen, don't be so polite, you said that." Director Qi smiled. Chen Hongwei invested in the construction of a farm tool factory. He introduced him when he met just now, so he called him the factory director.
Chen Hongwei said: "On my father's 80th birthday, the couplet in the main hall has not been written yet, so I just asked Director Qi to reveal his ink treasures."
Director Qi is indeed very good at writing. At that time, he was elected as secretary by Deputy Mayor Wen and was treated as a full-time section level. Once he participated in the calligraphy competition of government agencies and units in the city and was discovered by the mayor. He is now called "the number one in calligraphy for section-level cadres in the country". He has now been promoted to a deputy section-level cadre, but he is still very happy with this title.
However, the higher the status, the more careful you need to be.
As the secretary of the executive vice mayor, he has a lot of power, and he dares to show off his work, so as not to become the target of attack by others and cause unnecessary trouble.
The inscription has always been done by local officials and local celebrities. What kind of fun is my inconspicuous little secretary? He waved his hand and said, "Director Chen was joking. Hongyun Village is full of talents everywhere. How dare I show my ugly appearance?"
Chen Hongwei refused to give up and said, "Director Qi is concerned about the development of the private economy in our town. If he can leave one or two words, it will show the party and the government's care for Hongyun Village, and it will also boost everyone's spirit."
Chen Zhijuan also hurriedly agreed loudly. The three brothers said and said something, and they flattered them so loudly that they only left their elder brother aside, and no one paid attention to them.
Director Qi refused for a while, and saw Chen Xunhe next to him silently, he laughed and said, "The couplets in the main hall have always been written by the respected old man in the village, or the eldest son of the birthday boy. I am young and humble, and I dare not surpass it. This old man is..."
Chen Xunhe had gray hair, a clear face, and looked pretty, and had a fairy-like aura. Although he didn't say a word, Director Qi had a great affection for him.
Chen Qingge rushed to say, "Oh, he is my elder brother, a retired rural postman, how could he write any couplets!"
"It turns out that it is Mr. Chen, who is indifferent to respect. Since he is the eldest son of the birthday star, he should write this couplet." Director Qi said.
Chen Qingge said disdainfully: "My elder brother can write anything, don't make a fool of himself. Director Qi, you should write it!"
The old man was reluctant to admit defeat and said, "I can't write? Even my son wrote better than you!"
"Don't talk nonsense! How can you speak in front of Director Qi? That little brat Xiaoyao can come on the table? Don't disturb our distinguished guests!" Chen Qingge slapped the table and wanted to give his elder brother a look.
Chen Zhijuan smiled and smoothed out the situation: "What are you fighting for? Director Qi's calligraphy is so good. Today is my father's birthday, it would be a pity not to write a few."
Director Qi still refused.
As he was talking, Chen Huayao finished going to the toilet, Shi Shiran returned to the main hall and smiled and said, "It's so lively? I'm here for the high-ranking official? It's so powerful."
When Chen Qingge heard this, he was so anxious. To him, Chen Huayao was just a "smashing stick". He was not enough to make trouble. He was afraid that this brat would anger the people from the city government, so he hurriedly shouted: "Chen Huayao, sir, why are you joining in the fun? Go back to the room and call you later when the banquet starts."
He smiled flatteringly at Director Qi and said, "Director Qi, he is my elder brother's son. He speaks in a brainless manner. Don't mind. Chen Huayao, why don't you get out of here!" In front of Director Qi, if a brat says something strange, he will inevitably turn against him.
"Brother Hua?" Director Qi said in surprise and joy, and suddenly pushed away Chen Qingge who was blocking his body. He walked to Chen Huayao with a warm smile as sunny as possible on his face, saying, "Brother Hua, why are you here too?"
"Oh, it's Xiaochuan. Is my grandfather's 80th birthday? Of course I'll come back." Chen Huayao said reservedly.
It turned out that Director Qi was Qi Jinchuan he knew. I saw Director Qi frightened and felt at a loss, and shouted: "Oh, Brother Hua, your grandfather's 80th birthday is abrupt. I came on behalf of Mayor Wen. I didn't even prepare my personal gift. I'm so embarrassed!"
As soon as this statement was said, everyone was surprised, especially Chen Zhijuan and Chen Qingge brothers, whose chins were so wide that they almost fell to the ground. What kind of play is this singing?
Chen Huayao said lightly: "It's good that you can come, and you're welcome to see you."
Qi Jinchuan nodded: "Yes, come on, Brother Hua, sit down." He personally brought a chair for Chen Huayao and forced him to sit down. The intimacy, even the most competent dog-legged sighed. "There are a lot of things happening in the West District recently? Your Xiangzhang Road Neighborhood Committee can be regarded as a model of community governance. Mayor Wen has also heard about it and said he wants to see you."
Chen Huayao said loudly: "It depends on the situation. I do have a lot of things. I'm afraid I won't be able to find time to see him."
Chen Qingge's cold sweat came down at that time. What is Mayor Wen's identity? He is a big shot like a high-ranking official. It is difficult for ordinary people to meet each other. You, a rogue student, actually pushed you and got a lot of obstacles. You really don't know how high the world is!
Chen Zhijuan and Chen Hongwei were even more surprised. They looked at each other and felt that the brain cells were not enough. Previously, several brothers were flattering and flattering, but who would have thought that this kid would come out and Director Qi would flatter him instead. The contrast was too big?
Qi Jinchuan didn't care. Brother Hua was indifferent by nature and had a weak moral character, so he was naturally different from ordinary people. He said, "There is another thing. Director Yuan of the Tourism Bureau asked me to bring you a message, saying that he was reckless at that time and wanted to apologize to you in person."
"Director Yuan of the Tourism Bureau? No see! Who is he?" Chen Huayao grabbed Qi Jinchuan and said, "Don't talk about that boring thing, come and introduce it to you. This is my father."
Chen Zhijuan was shocked. He opened his own resort villa and asked the leaders of the Tourism Bureau to come for inspection and acceptance. He also gave a lot of money, but the leaders used many excuses to pick on each other and dragged it until now that the acceptance has not been passed, and Director Yuan did not meet him. At this time, when Director Qi heard Director Qi's words, Director Yuan seemed to be very nervous about his elder brother's son, so why didn't he ask him for help?
Chen Huayao led Qi Jinchuan to the old man. It turned out that the old man with a clear face was Brother Hua's father. Qi Jinchuan secretly thanked that he didn't show off at that time. He immediately bowed deeply to Chen Xunhe and said, "Uncle, you are so happy!" His waist bent at a right angle of ninety degrees, and he was not so respectful when he met the old man just now.
The old man smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a thin slit and said repeatedly: "Okay, you are good or not."
Chen Huayao said: "Just just now, I seemed to hear my second uncle and the others ask Director Qi to write a couplet, so why haven't I started writing yet?"
Qi Jinchuan laughed and said, "Brother Hua, you will kill me. How dare I show off my ugly face in front of you?"
"I'm a junior at home. My third uncle just asked me to get out quickly, haha, haha!" Chen Huayao was determined to embarrass Uncle San.
How could Qi Jinchuan not know what he meant? He immediately glared and said, "Director Chen, how do you be a state cadre? I must criticize you severely! Brother Hua is an important talent in our city, and even Mayor Wen attaches great importance to him. You are rude. It seems that you are not doing your usual ideological work well enough. After you go back, you will reflect on it! Next time I will send someone to check your daily work in the institute!"
"Ah?" Chen Qingge was stunned at the time, and his heart was as bitter as if he had swallowed a hundred coptis chinensis. He said anxiously: "Chen Huayao is my nephew, I was joking with him just now. Xiaoyao's talent has always been the pride of our family."
Chen Huayao patted Qi Jinchuan on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, my third uncle is a wine bag. The deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau doesn't know how to get involved with him, don't worry about this person."
Chen Qingge smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a cash bag, but my nephew is so powerful, I have learned a lot from him and made a lot of progress." He kept saying good things and cursing in his heart. His son Chen Tianshi stayed by his girlfriend and became more and more restless when he saw his father being embarrassed.
