Mao Lili's father's name is Mao Changhou, and her uncle's name is Mao Changgen. Mao Changgen is the section chief of the Soil and Water Conservation Section of the Nanshan District Water Conservancy Bureau. The old section chief in his forties has no support and cannot be promoted, so he has an idea in his heart.
Seeing that Mao Lili had grown up and was quite beautiful, he was determined to let Mao Lili marry a leader's child, so that he might be able to use her strength to advance to one and a half levels.
Therefore, he was more concerned about Mao Lili's finding a partner.
Mao Lili found a boyfriend, and he knew it immediately. After meeting Zhu Dan and having a drink, he felt that Zhu Dan was not good enough.
why?
He had two reasons.
First, Zhu Dan came from the countryside below. He had no roots in Dongcheng and was not even admitted. He was originally a temporary worker. He just became a full-time employee after he solved a big case through bad luck. But bad luck can't be ignored. Again.
Second, Zhu Dan has a bad temper, talks little, and doesn't get into trouble.
Even if they are civil servants, it will be difficult for such people to get ahead even if they are neither reliable nor capable of getting things done. There are many people in major bureaus who will work as clerks throughout their lives.
Mao Changgen determined that Zhu Dan, like most grassroots civil servants, had been busy all his life and would only receive a retirement salary when he was old. It sounded like a guarantee, but in fact it was just that.
When it comes to making money, Mao Lili's parents are even better than him selling vegetables.
The salary of civil servants in Dongcheng is only two to three thousand yuan. Mao Lili's parents sell vegetables, and they can earn six to seven thousand yuan in an average month. During the holidays, they can earn tens of thousands.
This kind of marriage can only be said to be good or bad, so there is no need. Mao Lili is only twenty years old, so why be anxious? Just take your time.
Because Mao Changgen was an official, Mao Lili's parents valued his opinions. They told Mao Lili about this, and Mao Lili turned to Zhu Dan.
Zhu Dan was anxious. It was his first taste of love. He took Zhu Zhiyuan out wherever he could, saying that he had someone to rely on in Dongcheng. He had a cousin who was a section chief.
When Mao Changgen heard that there was a brother who was the section chief, it seemed okay. Tomorrow happened to be Grandma Mao Lili's 70th birthday, so she asked Zhu Zhiyuan to have a drink and meet up.
"It means you want me to go drink birthday wine tomorrow, okay." Zhu Zhiyuan agreed immediately.
Originally, Zhu Dan and Mao Lili were just friends, neither engaged nor married. Even if Zhu Zhiyuan was Zhu Dan's brother, there was no reason to go drinking. But if the Mao family made this request, there was no need to refuse.
"Don't worry, I will definitely support you." Zhu Zhiyuan patted Zhu Dan hard on the shoulder: "You don't want a mother-in-law yourself. If you have a chance, just go ahead."
"Hey." Zhu Dan nodded with a blushing face, his eyes twinkling.
Although this guy is a little unsure, he still has a good mind and is quite smart.
The next day, Zhu Dan took leave and went to Zhu Zhiyuan. Zhu Zhiyuan drove over and met Mao Lili first.
Mao Lili is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. She is just twenty years old, the age when she is so tender.
When she met Zhu Zhiyuan, Mao Lili was a little shy and said hello with a slightly blushing face, which was very cute.
Zhu Zhiyuan was afraid that Zhu Dan would fall into the hands of those social girls, and Mao Lili was just what he wanted.
Then I met Mao Lili’s parents again. Mao Lili’s father, Mao Changhou, is only forty-five or six this year, a few years younger than Zhu Zhiyuan’s father, but because he gets up early to collect vegetables all the time, the wind and sun make him look older, and he looks fifty .
He doesn't talk much and seems to be an honest man.
Mao Lili's mother is fair and fair, a bit middle-aged and stout. She doesn't know her name, or even her surname. Zhu Dan, an idiot, just calls her Auntie. She doesn't ask what her last name is.
This is normal. Many sons-in-law don’t actually know the name of their mother-in-law.
Zhu Zhiyuan chatted with them for a few words and confirmed that they were a very ordinary couple with nothing wrong with them.
Then I went to the hotel and met Mao Lili's uncle, Mao Changgen, who was the section chief.
Mao Changgen is in his early forties, wears glasses, has a round face, is slightly fat, has a belly, holds his belly out and holds his hands behind his back, and has a very official air.
Mao Changgen is not as easy to deal with as Mao Changhou. After taking a look, his face was obviously cold and there was no smile at all.
After shaking hands, he asked: "Zhu Dan said you are in China Merchants Bureau? Doing business, right? That's fine too."
Then he stopped talking, nodded, and walked away.
There was no cynicism, but the coldness was obvious.
Why is Mao Changgen so cold? He is the section chief, and Zhu Zhiyuan is also the section chief. Can we be equals?
So why does the hair grow like this?
The reason is that Mao Changgen thought Zhu Dan was bragging.
He first heard that a cousin of Zhu Dan was working as a section chief, and he subconsciously thought that Zhu Zhiyuan must be at least in his early thirties.
As a result, when we met, it was like, okay, my hair has not even grown yet, so young, to be the section chief? Why don't you go to heaven?
He thought Zhu Dan was deceiving him, and he felt annoyed, so he didn't look good to Zhu Zhiyuan.
Zhu Dan quietly observed, and when he saw that Zhu Zhiyuan was not getting a good look, he blushed, came over and said to Zhu Zhiyuan: "Brother, I'm sorry, please don't ask you to come."
"It's okay." Zhu Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously and patted Zhu Dan twice on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. It'll be fine."
We found a place to sit down and started the banquet.
There were more than ten tables for the Mao family's birthday wine. Mao Changhou had almost no greeting guests. He was laid off as a worker and then sold vegetables. Even if there were acquaintances, he didn't post, no one came, and no one praised him. .
It's different where the hair grows.
Mao Changgen is the section chief of the Soil and Water Conservation Department.
This section chief sounds like he is of no use, but he is actually useful.
To conserve soil and water, we have to do a project. Who should the project be contracted to, how big will it be, how difficult it will be, what the price will be, how much will be paid, when will the project be completed, and when will the bill be settled? All this is in Mao Changgen’s hands.
This is power.
With this power in hand, there will be people who will support it, especially those small contractors.
There was an endless stream of guests at Mao Changgen's side, and it was extremely lively. In comparison, Mao Changhou, the boss, seemed to have no future at all.
If he was petty, he might have an unbalanced mentality, but Mao Changhou was a kind person, but he didn't show it. He accompanied the wine and toasted, smiling and having a good attitude.
Mao Lili's mother was accompanying the female guests, mainly relatives, and they were all smiling.
Zhu Zhiyuan observed secretly and felt that this family was not bad.
On the contrary, Zhu Dan felt a little annoyed that he had lost face, which made Zhu Zhiyuan feel funny.
There were no monsters at the banquet.
After the dinner was over, Zhu Dan came to tell Zhu Zhiyuan and told him to wait a moment. Mao Changgen had something to say to him.
"Brother, forget it if it doesn't work." Zhu Dan said with a little anger.
"It's okay." Zhu Zhiyuan smiled: "It depends on what he says."
After waiting for a while, Mao Changgen saw off the guests and came over. He glanced at Zhu Zhiyuan and said: "Lili and Zhu Dan are not suitable. You are Zhu Dan's brother. I tell you to tell Zhu Dan not to come to Li in the future." So beautiful."
"Why isn't it suitable?" Zhu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows: "I think it's quite suitable."
His words made Mao Changgen raise his eyebrows and look at him sideways: "I said it's not appropriate if it's not appropriate. You should have heard that a melon that's forced is not sweet."
"I don't think this is right." Zhu Zhiyuan chuckled: "My opinion is, whether it is sweet or not, pick it first and taste it before deciding."
Mao Changgen was immediately annoyed. He looked at Zhu Zhiyuan and said: "I know that your China Merchants Bureau is just a bunch of bullies, but if you think that I, Mr. Mao, are easy to bully, then I tell you, you may have found the wrong person. .”
Ordinary people have some opinions about the people from China Merchants Group.
If the China Merchants Bureau wants to attract investment, it needs capable people. There are dancing gods, wine wizards, tongue sticks, and even great dancers. It’s a mess, and there’s everyone there.
If you don’t have two brushes, how can you attract investment?
Since Zhu Zhiyuan is from China Merchants Bureau, Mao Changgen subconsciously thinks that he is also the kind of person who lives in three mountains and five mountains. This kind of people are dark-hearted and thick-skinned and are difficult to provoke. However, Mao Changgen is a senior section chief and is not afraid of him. On the contrary, he is not afraid of him. Even more tired of it.
