Chapter 7 Drunk Confession
After Qian Chen's persuasion, Shen Jun finally followed him to Qian Chen's house on Saturday afternoon.
Qian Chen's family conditions are not good, but the advantage is that his parents are hard-working, and there is only one child like Qian Chen in the family, so his expenses are not large, so he also replaced the mud house at home with a large tiled house. Although it is not a small Western-style building, it is still considered a small Western-style house in the village. It was ok.
Qian Chen called his family in advance. His parents started preparations early in the morning. They killed chickens and bought beef and mutton. His mother was a good cook, so Shen Jun's appetite was aroused as soon as the meal was served.
The chicken had been stewed for a whole afternoon, and the meat was soft and melted in the mouth. Shen Jun just took a chopstick and put it in his mouth. He looked satisfied for a moment, and then he praised Qian Chen's mother: "Your cooking skills are really amazing, compared to The chefs in those big hotels are so good, what are you doing now? How about we jointly open a small restaurant in the county and make a lot of money with your skills."
Naturally, Qian Chen's mother didn't take this kind of compliment seriously, and then smiled and waved her hand: "What are you talking about? I can make a living by cooking farm food, but you want me to be a chef?" But I can’t do it.”
"Hey, there's nothing we can't do. We open a fly restaurant that makes home-cooked meals. You don't know, people in the unit don't know what time it is after working overtime, they just want to eat and feel comfortable. If you open this restaurant in The custody business is booming at the entrance of the unit.”
Shen Jun paused and continued: "It's hard to find a place near the work, but it's fine if it's a little further away. There's a county hospital and a public security bureau next to it, so I'm not worried about running out of business.
I had thought about it a few years ago. Firstly, there were no good chefs to find, and secondly, I didn’t have the time to take care of it. It was really uneasy to leave it to outsiders.
Since your cooking skills are so good, we can really add up. When the time comes, I will get the money to open a shop, and you two will work there. We will split the money 50-50. It will take less than half a year to keep the money back, and it will be enough for Chen in two or three years. Earn the money from the bride price. "
Upon hearing what Shen Jun said very seriously, Qian Chen's mother couldn't help but look at Qian Chen's father and her son. It was obvious that she was tempted.
Qian Chen listened to Shen Jun's analysis and it made some sense. Although the restaurant was sometimes busy, it was still better than his father working on the construction site and his mother cooking.
"Master, do you really plan to open a restaurant?"
Shen Jun rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't started drinking this wine yet. Can I still talk nonsense to you?"
Qian Chen suddenly remembered the last time he teamed up with his father to get his master drunk. He smiled awkwardly and said to his parents: "Hey, hey, since master has this idea, we can give it a try. Many government units are gathered here." Business in that area will definitely not be bad, what do you think, dad?"
Qian Chen's father nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try, but your master can't let you take the money alone. Since we are opening a joint store, then each family will get half. When the time comes, we will split the money 50-50."
"Okay." Qian Chen's mother agreed readily.
Nowadays, the construction site is not as easy to work as before. If there is work, I can work for three or four months. If there is no work, I can only rest at home. Seeing that my son has reached the age of starting a family, how can the old couple not worry about it? Although the old couple has saved a lot of money, These savings are really not enough compared with the increasingly rising betrothal gifts, and there are also problems with cars and houses, as well as three gold coins, change fees, wedding arrangements, etc. The total amount of these zeros and zeros is only with them. Calculated in a small county town, it would cost six to seven hundred thousand to marry a daughter-in-law. Now that there is such a good opportunity to make money, the second elder naturally wants to try it.
How could Shen Jun not know about the difficulties in Qian Chen's family? Shen Jun also felt very sorry for this precious apprentice. If he hadn't had a daughter, he would have had to let Qian Chen be his son-in-law: "The 50-50 split is It’s a 50-50 split, but it’s absolutely impossible for you to take the money. Originally, you two were the ones to open the store, and I took advantage of it by enjoying the profits. Now I’m still asking you to take the money, so I’m not a human being.”
Shen Jun's words sounded reasonable, but Qian Chen could understand that this was his master helping him. Although his parents contributed manpower there, they would not be able to help much with the business in the future. On the other hand, Master Shen As the director of the County Party Committee's Inspection Office, Jun Jun casually spreads some rumors outside, so why shouldn't the various townships, towns, and county units be given some thin noodles and turn their small restaurants into designated restaurants? Then won’t the money come?
His parents may not be aware of what's going on here, so how could Qian Chen not be aware of it?
But just as Qian Chen was about to say something, he was interrupted by Shen Jun: "Okay, this matter is settled, let's drink, drink."
Qian Chen picked up the wine glass: "Master, there's nothing more to say, it's all in the wine."
After saying that, Qian Chen drank it all in one gulp, and his old man was not willing to be outdone and drank with him.
After eating a few bites of food, Qian Chen calmly told the news about his promotion: "Mom and Dad, let me tell you some good news. Your son is going to be the deputy mayor!"
When Qian Chen's mother heard the news, her hand holding the food suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened suddenly: "The deputy mayor was promoted? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. My master is here. How dare I make up lies to deceive you?"
As soon as Qian Chen said this, the eyes of Qian Chen's parents fell on Shen Jun.
Shen Jun smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaochen has been proactive and hard-working in the past two years, and the leaders have noticed it, so this promotion is understandable."
It was naturally impossible for Shen Jun to explain Qian Chen's inexplicable promotion this time. You must know that Qian Chen's parents were just ordinary farmers. Not only would they not be able to help Qian Chen, but they would also be frightened.
As soon as Shen Jun finished speaking, a blooming smile bloomed on Qian Chen's face: "Oh, it's true, my son is so great. He became the deputy mayor at such a young age!"
Qian Chen's father was also happy and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that our old Qian family would also have leading cadres."
"Son, please tell mom which town you went to?"
"Huanglin Town."
"Ah? Huanglin Town, Mom heard that the people there are not easy to deal with. You have to be careful when you go here and don't have any conflicts with them."
"Oh, mom, don't worry. I'm here to serve them. I'm not a bandit. What kind of conflicts can I cause? Besides, I still have my master coming up with ideas from behind. You two elders don't believe me. You still don’t believe in my master?”
Shen Jun rolled his eyes. Wow, this guy is setting himself up again.
"Well, Huanglin Town isn't that far away. If you're not busy at work, you should come back to see your master more often. If you don't have someone to teach you, you won't be able to be the deputy mayor."
"Oh, Mom, you don't have to say this. Even if I forget to marry a wife, I can't forget how good my master has been to me."
"No, you should forget about me and focus on marrying a wife. I can't bear this responsibility."
"Hahaha, I was just joking, describe it, can I really let you take on this responsibility?"
As time went by, the three grown men at the table were already a bit drunk, while Qian Chen's mother went to clean up the room, which was obviously prepared for Shen Jun.
Mr. Qian Chen didn't like to talk much on weekdays, but after drinking he started to chatter a little. He kept thanking Shen Jun for taking care of Qian Chen, and then solemnly asked Qian Chen to be filial to his master in the future, to be grateful and not to forget his master. support.
After Qian Chen's mother finished cleaning up, she saw that Qian Chen and Shen Jun still had something to say, so the two elders went back to their room to rest first.
Watching the second veteran close the door, Shen Jun couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, when I was promoted to deputy department, my parents were so happy. It's not easy for us rural children to become officials. Now it's all Relationships are all about money, no matter how hard we work, there won’t be many opportunities left for us.”
Qian Chen nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Yes, Master, that's why I tried my best to seize this opportunity this time."
"Well, this appointment in Huanglin Town is both a challenge and an opportunity. Since you have the opportunity, you would be a fool not to seize it." Shen Jun paused and continued: "I have not been idle these two days. I have been thinking about it and looking for I’ve got two people to help you.”
As Shen Jun spoke, he took out his mobile phone and read two phone numbers to Qian Chen. One was Tang Xin, deputy secretary of the township, and Wang Baocai, the secretary of Guanzhuang Village.
"Tang Xin is half a second-generation official. He used to be the director of our Education Bureau. When he retired, he served as chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for two years. He still has some connections and is a good person.
He and I are classmates, and I have given him a lot of support at work. If you have anything you don’t understand or have trouble in the town, you can go to him. I have told him about you in advance. "
"As for Wang Baocai, I met him playing cards a long time ago. Although he is the party secretary of the village, to put it bluntly, he was born as a gangster. In the past few years, he made a lot of money with his courage and tough methods. In the past few years, he has earned The secretary who was selected by Qian had the intention of whitewashing his name. This also led to several people secretly suing him. After I read the report materials, there was nothing substantial, so I didn’t report it to the higher authorities. He also owed me for this. A few favors.
Although he is not a very good person, he is still the secretary of Guanzhuang Village. There are local snakes and the funeral parlor is built in their village. You can ask him for help in the future if you need anything in the village. I have called him in advance.
But you have to be wary of this kind of person. Firstly, he has too many social trends and does not follow politics and rules like us. Secondly, this guy has an average character. Although he can be used, he must not be reused. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be tricked by him. "
Qian Chen nodded vigorously and then saved their phone numbers.
"You have to be strong yourself when you are forging iron. Don't accept gifts from others casually, especially gifts from other leading cadres... You must learn to assess the situation. Townships are shallow and there are many idiots. Don't take others seriously when you go there. We, the county party committee, will supervise The work style of the office is obviously not suitable for villages and towns, and you have to adapt in time... The most important thing is not to touch the high-voltage red line no matter what. How we want to seize opportunities must be in the pot..."
Shen Jun also took the opportunity to drink and explained to Qian Chen one by one the things he was worried about. Qian Chen silently kept these in mind and secretly determined not to let his master down.
