The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

The two of them finished their noodles with soybean paste and were basically full, so they didn't touch the food on the table.

Qi Jingwei wanted to settle the bill, but was stopped by Lin Zhiyuan. "I am the host in Yanjing. It is unreasonable for me to let the guests pay. Besides, it is just a small amount of money. If the two of us fight over it, it will make people laugh."

Qi Jingwei chuckled again, "Zhiyuan, if you want me to not pay, you have to promise me one thing."

"Don't even think about it. It must be another trap for me." Lin Zhiyuan's vigilance immediately increased several levels.

"This is what happened. Secretary Gao is hosting a dinner at the Ge'an Office in Beijing tomorrow. He is inviting as many Ge'an compatriots working in Beijing as possible to come. You are the distinguished guest chosen by Secretary Gao. I have already signed a military order in front of Secretary Gao. If you don't agree, Secretary Gao will definitely criticize me when I return."

Lin Zhiyuan was helpless. "I really can't promise you this. Mr. Jin is also coming to Yanjing. If he has something to do, I will definitely go there."

"Okay, then we have a deal. If President Jin needs you, I will explain to Secretary Gao, but if you have time, you must come and participate." Lin Zhiyuan is a leader who came from Ge Gang, and he must put Ge Gang first when encountering things. Qi Jingwei believes that Gao Yuan can also understand this.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Zhiyuan calculated the bill. Two bowls of noodles, four dishes, a soup, and two bottles of soda cost less than a hundred yuan.

Qi Jingwei took a taxi back to the Beijing Office, while Lin Zhiyuan walked home.

In the evening, Lin Zhiyuan spent a New Year's Eve at home undisturbed.

Su Qiancheng, Lin Dajun, Ning Xiufen, Su Sheng, Yang Zhilan, Lin Zhiyuan, Su Jin, Shen Juan, Aunt Wang and the two children, Xiaoan and Asu, eleven people, sat around the dining table.

Sixteen dishes, plus dumplings with two kinds of fillings: sauerkraut pork and lamb and green onions.

Lin Zhiyuan drank two cups of white wine with Lin Dajun and Su Sheng.

During the dinner, Ning Xiufen mentioned Li Gang and Lin Ningjing.

"Your sister and brother-in-law said that they will take a day off on the 29th and come to Yanjing. Then our whole family will be together."

In September last year, Li Gang was promoted to deputy general manager of Xingang Company, in charge of production.

Last year, Li Gang spent the Spring Festival in Yangcheng. He was the head of the hot rolling mill at that time and could not take leave, so he spent the Spring Festival alone in Ge'an. Although his rank was promoted this year, he became a deputy. Shi Mingguang, the general manager of Xingang Company, had a good relationship with Lin Zhiyuan and readily approved a few days of annual leave for him, so that the family could spend a happy Spring Festival together.

Compared with the peaceful atmosphere of the Lin family, the Li family's New Year's Eve had a bit of the smell of gunpowder.

During dinner, Guo Ting happily told Li Changan, "Changan, tomorrow is Sunday. Wear something formal and I'll take you to visit."

Li Changan understood as soon as he heard it. His mother arranged a blind date for him.

"Mom, I'm not going. I have work to do tomorrow!"

Guo Ting asked curiously, "Didn't your company give everyone a holiday early? How can there be any work?"

"Didn't our company just invest in an Internet company? My colleagues and I need to talk to their boss about future development and make specific plans."

Guo Ting was a little unhappy. "Even if there is work, it doesn't matter if there is one day. No, just one morning. You have to go with me tomorrow no matter what. I have already promised to go there. To tell you the truth! Tomorrow I will take you to a blind date. The other party is the daughter of Deputy Director Huo of the General Office of the State Council. I have seen her photos. The girl is very beautiful. She also graduated from a famous university and now works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You are a good match."

As Guo Ting's voice became higher, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became tense.

Li Zhenshan certainly knew the reason why his son didn't go on the blind date, but he didn't dare tell Guo Ting. Once he told her, a war would definitely break out tonight.

Mrs. Li was calm and composed, and continued to eat leisurely.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me about such an important blind date in advance? Tomorrow's work is very important and I can't be absent. Please apologize to them for me. Also, I don't want to go on a blind date now, so don't arrange it for me in the future."

With a clatter, Guo Ting slammed her chopsticks on the table, her eyebrows raised, "How old are you and you still don't have a boyfriend? What do you want to do?"

Without waiting for Li Changan's response, Li Zhenshan hurried out to smooth things over, "Let's talk it over. Let's eat first."

"This meal is inedible. I'm telling you, Li Changan, you have to go on a blind date with me tomorrow..."

Before Guo Ting could finish, Li Changan stood up, turned around and walked out, "Whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going anyway."

Li Changan returned to his bedroom and locked the door.

After being stunned, Guo Ting started to cry in anger. The happy New Year's Eve ended in such a bad way.

Director Li was so busy that he went to coax Guo Ting first.

Li Zhenshan loved and feared Guo Ting. He was just a penniless college student at the time, and Guo Ting's family conditions were much better than his. Guo Ting married him without hesitation and accompanied him through the most difficult years.

From this perspective, Li Zhenshan is very grateful to Guo Ting, so he can tolerate many of her shortcomings.

Guo Ting cried bitterly and complained to Li Zhenshan, "How could this child be so ignorant? Who do you think I did this for? Isn't it all for his own good?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zhenshan nodded repeatedly, but then changed the subject, "Changan has been away from us since he was young and lives abroad. His emotions are not as good as those of ordinary parents and children. You should pay attention to the way and method of treating him. If you really push him too far and he runs abroad and never comes back, what will you do then?"

Li Zhenshan seized his wife's weakness and successfully bluffed her.

The blind date finally came to nothing.

******

The next day was Sunday. Lin Zhiyuan drove the Land Cruiser out of Houhai and first went to the staff dormitory of the State Council to pick up Zhou Bosi, and then rushed to Dongtian Electronics.

After getting in the car, Zhou Bosi felt a little embarrassed, "Assistant Lin, how can the leader drive while I ride? It's a pity that I can't drive..."

"It's okay. Right now the committee is short of vehicles and personnel. Conditions will improve slowly. But Xiao Zhou, you really should hurry up and learn how to drive. Driving is a skill that modern people must master in the future, especially young people like you."

"Yes, Assistant Lin, I have already registered at the driving school. I will go to learn how to drive as soon as I have time."

On the way, Lin Zhiyuan and Zhou Bosi chatted briefly and learned that he was from Jiangsu Province and his parents were both teachers, which could be considered a typical intellectual family.

"Xiao Zhou, if your family conditions allow, I suggest you buy a house in Yanjing as soon as possible." Lin Zhiyuan was quite satisfied with Zhou Bosi. This young man was smart, had good eyesight, and was hardworking. He was a good material for being a secretary, so he said a few more words.

Zhou Bosi kept smiling bitterly, "Assistant Lin, the housing prices in Yanjing are too expensive now. I really can't afford it."

"Xiao Zhou, believe me, the housing prices in Yanjing will only get more and more expensive. You probably know my past experience. I have worked in real estate for several years and I know this industry well. If you don't buy now, you will definitely regret it in the future. If you don't have enough money, you can consider taking out a loan or borrowing some from your parents."

Lin Zhiyuan's words touched Zhou Bosi, and the young man began to seriously consider the possibility of buying a house on his own.
