Although Lu Caishi has never been to the Meng family's old house, she is really familiar with all the layout of the room. The reason is that she was kidnapped by the white-haired Meng Yuxin with her father-in-law and mother-in-law. The white-haired Meng Yuxin built the house based on this Her underground castle.
Lu Caishi felt very emotional when she returned to a familiar environment. She thought of that night of ecstasy, when her second child, Meng Fanzhi, was conceived in the white-haired Meng Yuxin's home.
The Meng family has more than one house in Shanfu County. This is where Meng Qingxiao and his mother live all year round. His grandparents do not live here, so Meng Qingxiao has a heavy task. Fortunately, they are young. He is strong and can still pack up much faster than his parents.
Meng Qingxiao took his wife to visit his cousin, which excited the old man to tears.
The old man's name is Li Shangfu. He is in his 60s, has very dark skin and dense wrinkles on his face.
Repairing a car is a dirty job, and you have to get in and out of the car every day. Although he is not young, he looks very powerful at first glance, and he is a person who has been doing rough work for a long time.
Meng Qingxiao's status is now extraordinary, and his wife is also an internationally renowned figure, a very knowledgeable scientist. With two people like this, even if you are his distant relative, you will be able to bear not contacting him or borrowing money from him. His connections?
But Li Shangfu is not that kind of person. He has not even told his later wife and son that he knows Meng Qingxiao. He feels that Meng Qingxiao is now a high-ranking big shot, and he is just an ordinary citizen. They are no longer a People in the world, so he buried this family relationship deep in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone again.
He never expected that Meng Qingxiao would come to visit him, but now, Meng Qingxiao suddenly fell from the sky, taking his wife with him, how could the old man not be excited?
Not only was Li Shangfu excited, his wife and son were also dumbfounded. They could never imagine that Meng Qingxiao was actually related to them in their own family.
His wife secretly pulled his man aside and asked him how he knew Meng Qingxiao, and Li Shangfu had no choice but to tell the truth.
My wife was furious: "Our family has such a strong relationship, but you never said anything. Are you still Lele's father?"
Li Shangfu was also angry: "Why should I say that? Axiao doesn't owe our family anything, and I don't want to trouble him. You are not allowed to say anything to him. If he can come to see me once, he has given me a big gift." The feelings are over."
"Can you bear to let our family, Lele, remain mediocre for the rest of our lives?"
"If he had the ability, I would have no problem even becoming the head of state, and I don't expect him to support me in my old age. If he doesn't have the ability, he just stays at home and learns how to repair cars with me. He can't starve to death if he has a craft. ."
Meng Qingxiao didn't mean to listen to the thief, but his cultivation level was too high, so he still heard it. He looked at Li Shangfu's son, a young man in his early 20s, whom he introduced just now, his name is Li Yongle.
Meng Qingxiao asked: "Brother Le, what are you doing now?"
Li Yongle was a little cautious, scratched his scalp and said, "Still looking for a job."
"How old are you this year?"
"I'll be 20 soon, in three months."
"You should still be in school at your age. Why do you go out to work so early?"
Li Yongle said with some embarrassment: "I don't like going to school. I get sleepy when I read the textbooks, so I left college before graduating."
"What kind of job do you hope to do?"
"Just make whatever you can find, I don't have any skills."
"This is not what you really think." Meng Qingxiao said, "Right now your parents are quarreling about you in the kitchen. If you want me to help you, you have to tell the truth."
"I want to be an official. I think the secretary of the county party committee in our county is very majestic. Every time he goes out there is a big pomp, with a group of people following behind him. I also want to be the secretary of the county party committee for fun."
Meng Qingxiao was amused, and he asked: "Then do you know that to be the secretary of the county party committee, you need to have at least a bachelor's degree?"
Li Yongle scratched his scalp again and said, "I know, but your status is also very high. Your official position is greater than that of the head of state. If you are willing to help me, they will definitely make an exception for you, right?"
"Let's just assume that they will make an exception for me, but why do you think you can manage a county?" Meng Qingxiao asked again, "Let alone a county, can you manage your village?"
"If I make you the village chief now, can you lead your villagers to get rich together?"
Li Yongle immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
Meng Qingxiao continued: "It's good to have ideals, but you can't just dream about it. You have to fight for your ideal, and then you have hope of success. Otherwise, even if I am willing to help you, you won't be able to get far."
Li Yongle was silent for a while, then summoned up the courage to say again: "If I really work hard as you ask, can you guarantee that I will become the county party committee secretary?"
"You must first understand what your purpose is as secretary of the county party committee. If you just want to show off your authority, then I can't help you with anything."
Li Yongle immediately said impatiently: "You don't need to say this, who doesn't understand the truth? Isn't it just about serving the people?"
Meng Qingxiao shook his head secretly, this young man really showed his sharpness.
"Okay, I won't tell you any big principles now. If you want to be the county party secretary, I can help you, but you must follow my requirements. If you meet my requirements, I can let you take this position before 30 Location."
"What's the request? Just tell me and I will definitely do it."
"First of all, there are academic requirements. You must go back to school and get a college diploma. I can lower some requirements for you. A college diploma is also acceptable."
Li Yongle agreed: "No problem."
"Don't say I can't trust you. Since you asked me to help you, I will have strict requirements for you. Your grades in all subjects must be passing. You must rely on your true skills to get your diploma, and your graduation thesis must be passed." To be relevant to governing a region, I need to see your governance philosophy in your graduation thesis.”
Li Youle was extremely reluctant, but still replied: "Okay."
"The second is the assessment of ideological and moral character. You must become a party member before graduating from college. If you fail the assessment, I will not recommend a job for you."
Li Yongle said dissatisfied: "Is your request too weird?"
"Isn't that weird? Then go and search on the Internet. Apart from ethnic minorities, which county party committee secretary is not a party member?"
"Okay, can't I promise you?"
"Third, you have to take the civil service exam yourself. Only if you pass the exam can you become an official."
Li Yongle shouted again: "I have done everything by myself, so why should I ask you for help? If I can be admitted to the civil service, then I can work hard on my own."
Lu Caishi said softly from the side: "Brother, your resume must be clean, otherwise if others find out that your brother is helping you, the spit on the Internet will drown both of you."
"But he doesn't want to help me at all. What he said, if I can do it, do I still need his help?"
"Of course it is necessary. In our society, it does not mean that you can get a job you are satisfied with if you have the ability. Of course, unless you are super outstanding, that is another matter." Lu Caishi said, "In our society, after all, In a relational society, you must have both skills and connections so that you can have a smooth journey, both of which are indispensable.”
Li Yongle was unhappy. After grinding for a long time, he finally said reluctantly: "I'll give it a try."
Meng Qingxiao nodded and said: "I'll take it as your promise. Let's talk about the fourth item. You must have grassroots management experience. All county party committee secretaries come from the grassroots level."
"Article 5: If you want to achieve results, take your village as an example. Its GDP 10 years ago was 8 billion yuan. If you were asked to take over, could you achieve 9 billion or even 10 billion?"
"If you can do it well, then I can make you the mayor of the town. If you can manage a town well, I can transfer you to the county to be a CPPCC member."
Meng Qingxiao gave his phone number to Li Yongle, and of course to his uncle. He told Li Shangfu not to be polite and to contact him if he had any difficulties.
Meng Qingxiao was still very grateful to this cousin. Although Li Shangfu felt that Meng Qingxiao didn't owe him anything, Meng Qingxiao felt that he owed him a lot, so he decided to secretly help Li Yongle.
Before the couple left, Lu Caishi made his own decision and wanted to leave a gold card for Li Shangfu with 300,000 yuan in it. Lu Caishi said that this was a little thought from the couple and thanked his uncle for nurturing Meng Qingxiao.
But Li Shangfu disagreed.
Meng Qingxiao also persuaded Li Shangfu to stay. He mentioned that when he was racing cars, Li Shangfu provided all the money, which was more than 300,000.
Li Shangfu shook his head and said: "The money was actually provided by your father. Because your mother strongly opposed it, your father did not dare to speak, so he had to support your ideals secretly through me."
In the end, he didn't get the money either.
After leaving Li's house, Lu Caishi apologized apologetically: "I'm sorry, husband, I gave them the card without your consent. You won't blame me, right?"
Meng Qingxiao kissed her hard and then said: "How could it be? It's too late for me to thank you. In fact, I also want to leave him some money, but I am too poor. I only have 10,000 yuan in WeChat. I don’t know where it came from, I always suspected that Xu Haocun left it for me as a spare, and I never had the nerve to ask him.”
"Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you don't have money, ask me for it. I have money, so just keep this card. You have so many things to do, and there is always something you need to spend money on."
"Don't bother me, just keep holding the card. Who am I, your husband? Do I still need to pay in person when we go out for a meal? Can't you take the initiative to pay?"
Lu Caishi was amused: "Okay, my chief designer, I am happy to serve you."
