Chapter 387 Deng Yunheng's Face and the Gradually Formed Network of Relationships
A department in a certain department in Beijing.
Zhao Jing was working when the phone on the table suddenly rang. She put down the documents and answered the phone: "Hello, this is the XX department."
Deng Yunheng's familiar voice came from the phone: "Leader, it's me, Happy New Year!"
Zhao Jing's mood obviously improved after receiving the call from this former subordinate whom she admired. She greeted him: "Happy New Year, County Magistrate Deng!"
The two smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries. Deng Yunheng got to the point and said: "Leader, I called you this time to invite you to attend my wedding."
Zhao Jing was surprised and said: "Deng Yunheng, you have done a good job of keeping secrets. When did you talk about the person?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "I talked about it last year. My father helped me find him. I also thought he was good, so we got along."
Zhao Jing felt a little regretful when she heard this. As early as when Deng Yunheng worked under her, she had taken a fancy to this promising subordinate and was ready to introduce him to her sister-in-law. Unfortunately, she tried her mother-in-law's tone. Her mother-in-law attached great importance to the match between the two families, so she did not help to make connections.
Later, when the subordinate came back from his hometown to give her local specialties, he happened to run into her sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law had a good impression of Deng Yunheng, but unfortunately the two did not work in the same ministry, and Zhao Jing was not able to help with matchmaking due to her mother-in-law. The two could not meet and no one helped to match them up, so naturally they could not spark love.
In addition, not long after, Deng Yunheng took the initiative to apply for a transfer to Fujian to work. The two were thousands of miles apart, so the matter was left unresolved.
Now, hearing the news that Deng Yunheng was going to get married, her sister-in-law had even less chance.
Zhao Jing sighed slightly in her heart, but smiled and asked: "Deng Yunheng, where is your partner from? What does your family do? I have to help see if the other party is worthy of the outstanding talents from our ministry."
Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "Leader, you are too flattering me. My partner is from Wuhan, Hubei, and her father is also in the system."
Zhao Jing's reaction was quite fast, and she immediately asked: "Which leader in the province is it?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "My future father-in-law's surname is Gu."
Zhao Jing understood immediately after hearing this. She was originally from an official family, and she herself was also a member of the system. She basically memorized the information of her colleagues at the provincial level and above. When Deng Yunheng said this, she naturally knew who it was at the first time.
Although the other party's family background was not comparable to her natal family or her husband's family, it was at the provincial level anyway. Looking at the country, there were not many, and it was also a real high-ranking official.
Zhao Jing praised him repeatedly: "Your prospective father-in-law has a good eye. He picked you as his son-in-law at first sight."
Deng Yunheng said modestly: "The leader is too kind. It is my blessing to be his son-in-law."
Zhao Jing laughed and said: "You are still so good at talking. When is your big day? Where will you hold the banquet?"
Deng Yunheng said: "The big day is the seventh day of the second lunar month. The banquet will be held in my hometown."
Zhao Jing said: "Okay, I will definitely go."
Deng Yunheng said: "Thank you for the face."
...
Jiangsu.
A certain office of Pei County Government.
Li Haibo received a call from Deng Yunheng, a Peking University alumnus.
This Li Haibo was the president of the Student Union of Peking University at that time. He had a good family background and was one of the most powerful figures in the school. The two worked together for a period of time and formed a good friendship. When choosing a career direction after graduation, Deng Yunheng also consulted each other's opinions!
In addition, after graduation and joining the work, the two have never lost contact.
As their status continued to rise, both sides valued each other's future, and their friendship naturally became deeper and deeper.
After greeting each other, Deng Yunheng said straight to the point: "County Magistrate Li, I called you this time to invite you to my wedding."
Li Haibo laughed and scolded: "You County Magistrate Deng, I didn't expect that you would get married first. Where is your sister-in-law from? What's her family background?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "She is from Wuhan, and her family is also in the system."
Li Haibo asked tentatively: "Provincial background?"
Deng Yunheng hummed, and then joked: "County Magistrate Li, you are behind me in this regard, you have to work harder!"
Hearing this, Li Haibo paid more attention to this Peking University alumnus. He was already good enough, and he also had a good family background. He also started working before Deng Yunheng.
As a result, Deng Yunheng, who had no background, was able to keep up with his promotion. It was really amazing.
The wife he married now has a provincial background, which will definitely bring him a lot of help. Perhaps it won't be long before Deng Yunheng is not only equal to him in rank, but also equal to him in position, and becomes the county magistrate of Fuqing County.
Such a promising alumni are worth making friends with.
Therefore, in the face of Deng Yunheng's joke, Li Haibo responded with a smile: "Yes, I have to work harder, and I can't fall behind you in this regard."
Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "Then I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Then, the two sides chatted for a few more words, and finally hung up the phone after clarifying the time and place of the wedding.
...
That day, Deng Yunheng kept calling his former leaders, colleagues with good relationships, classmates and alumni of Peking University.
Among the classmates, alumni and fellow townsmen who are playing well together in Peking University, the one who is doing the best is Li Haibo, the president of the Student Union, who has now become a real county magistrate.
The second is Deng Yunheng and Song Yu, both of whom are at the division level.
The others are far behind the three of them, either still standing still or at the deputy division level.
Including Zhao Changzheng, the former president of the Guangxi Hometown Association, who is currently only at the deputy division level.
Of course, Zhao Changzheng chose to work hard in XZ. His promotion is more difficult than others, and his gold content is more sufficient. It is difficult to say what his future will be. He may remain unknown for his whole life, or he may soar to the sky.
This depends on opportunities and one's own abilities.
Deng Yunheng personally called to invite the other party to attend his wedding, and he has been in contact with them all the time. This gradually formed network of relationships began to be woven under the reminder of his father since the day he entered school. I believe that it will not take long for this network of relationships to play its due role.
And those who received his calls only responded with two words-must come.
From this, we can also see the status of Deng Yunheng in the minds of leaders, colleagues, classmates, alumni, fellow villagers, etc.
In this era of inconvenient transportation, thousands of miles away, it is not known whether there will be work to do at that time. In this case, if you dare to say the two words "must come", you really regard Deng Yunheng as an extremely important person.
…
Songshan High School.
On the second floor of the teacher's dormitory, Li Hongjun is giving his son Li Huaxin an ideological class.
"Son, today is your first day in high school. I think I need to tell you something."
Li Hongjun looked at his son who had high hopes for him, and said earnestly: "From elementary school to junior high school, I have been tutoring you very hard, but your grades can only rank in the upper middle level in the class, and you have never been able to rank among the top. Do you know what the problem is?"
Li Huaxin looked at his toes and said: "I don't know."
"Look up and look at me."
Li Hongjun looked at this useless son and said helplessly: "The problem is that you don't study voluntarily, but are forced to study by me. Do you know my student Deng Yunheng?"
Li Huaxin's mouth twitched: "I know!"
The father taught a top student of Peking University, which has always been regarded as the greatest honor in his teaching career. He has said it in front of his family for 70 or 80 times, if not 100 times. Li Huaxin's ears are almost calloused. As a result, his father asked him if he knew?
Although he knew that this was his father's common opening remarks, it was enough to make him collapse.
Li Hongjun said: "When he was in the first year of high school, his grades were only above average in the class, and there was a big gap compared to the class monitor at that time. But after the second year of high school, his academic performance began to improve by leaps and bounds. Do you know why?"
Li Huaxin was not a fool. His father had said it so clearly, so he followed his father's words and answered: "Because your proud student began to work hard and study consciously after entering the second year of high school?"
Li Hongjun nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, in the second semester of the first year of high school, Deng Yunheng began to work hard, but he didn't find the right study method at the beginning, so his progress was not obvious enough.
After the second year of high school, he found his own study method, and he concentrated all his attention on studying consciously, which made his academic performance improve by leaps and bounds, and finally he was admitted to the first Peking University student since the establishment of our Songshan High School."
Li Huaxin was also touched in his heart. He knew very well how glorious his father's proud student was. He became the county magistrate in just a few years after graduating from Peking University. It was really admirable.
If possible, who wouldn't want to be such a person?
Seeing that his son was somewhat interested, Li Hongjun said while the iron was hot: "Son, the next three years are the most critical three years. If you want to become a college student and have a job that everyone envies after graduation, then you must work hard and study consciously.
You are not young anymore. As a high school student, you should be sensible. Dad will not force you to study in the future. It is up to you to study or not.
In short, if you can't get into college in three years, then you can follow the young people in the village to work in Guangdong!
That's all. How to choose your life is up to you."
Li Huaxin nodded silently. Today's first lesson at the beginning of the school year made him see a different father and also made him feel the real pressure.
He is not yet an adult, and he has to choose his own life!
Just when Li Huaxin was in a state of confusion, there was a knock on the door, and he hurried over to open the door.
The person knocking on the door was none other than Deng Yunhua. He smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is Teacher Li at home?"
"Yes."
Li Huaxin opened the door and said, "Dad, I'm looking for you."
Li Hongjun also saw Deng Yunhua at this time and said with some surprise, "Deng Yunhua, why are you here?"
Deng Yunzhu and Deng Yunhua, a pair of poor students, are known by all the teachers in the school thanks to their second brother. Li Hongjun, as Deng Yunheng's head teacher, is even more so.
"Teacher Li, I'm here to give you an invitation."
Deng Yunhua took out an invitation from his briefcase, handed it to the other party with both hands and said: "My second brother is getting married on the seventh day of the second lunar month. He should have come to deliver the invitation to you in person, but he is still working in Fujian and will not be able to come back until the wedding date, so I will deliver this invitation."
Li Hongjun took the invitation and smiled with a rosy face: "Okay, that's great. Where is your second sister-in-law from?"
Deng Yunhua said: "Wuhan, Hubei."
Li Hongjun was surprised: "So far?"
Deng Yunhua smiled: "Yes, it's far, Teacher Li, on the day of my second brother's wedding, there will be a car to pick you up at the school around nine o'clock in the morning. I still have to deliver invitations to other teachers now, so I'll leave first!"
Li Hongjun nodded and said: "Okay, go ahead!"
After Deng Yunhua left, Li Hongjun took the invitation and read it happily.
...
Time flies.
Unknowingly, time came to the fifth day of the second lunar month.
Wuhan, Hubei.
A family compound.
The Gu family is entertaining their relatives.
The Gu family actually doesn't have many relatives. Gu's father was born in those chaotic years. His father was an old Red Army soldier. He was able to reach the high position today, in addition to his own outstanding work ability, he also enjoyed the influence of his father.
Of course, their family also paid a considerable price. He was the only one in the family who survived after liberation.
Therefore, there are no direct relatives on Gu's father's side. Only a distant cousin came with her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Gu's mother's relatives are all in Guangxi, and Gu Caiwei was originally going to marry in Guangxi, so she naturally didn't have to rush to Wuhan.
The remaining relatives are the eldest daughter's in-laws.
As for other colleagues, subordinates and friends, the Gu family didn't invite them at all. They didn't mean to marry their daughter in a high-profile manner.
...
At the same time, the wedding reception team headed by the groom Deng Yunheng also flew to Wuhan.
There were not many people coming to pick up the bride this time. It was just a small team of six people. The family members included the eldest sister-in-law, sister and third brother, and the friends were Song Yu and Chu Zhenyu. Together with Deng Yunheng himself, it just formed a six-person wedding reception team.
It should be noted that there were only five people who came by plane. Chu Zhenyu, a Peking University classmate and roommate, was originally from Hubei. After graduation, he chose to return to his hometown to work. He is currently a deputy department-level cadre and serves as a deputy county magistrate.
It was precisely because he was from Hubei that Deng Yunheng made him a member of the wedding reception team.
When he went to the hotel to settle down, Deng Yunheng couldn't help but sigh: "Wuhan is really a national historical and cultural city and an important birthplace of Chu culture. Our Nanning, Guangxi is really not at the same level as here. The difference is too great."
Song Yu continued: "It's true that there is no comparison. Our Nanning, Guangxi has only been the capital for a few years, and Wuhan has become the provincial capital of Huguang Province as early as the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was even praised as "the most prosperous place in Chu" and one of the "four gatherings in the world."
In addition, Wuhan has convenient transportation and is known as the "crossroads of nine provinces". It is the largest land, water and air transportation hub in inland my country. We How can a border town like Nanning, Guangxi compare with Wuhan? "
"Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side of the river, who knows which city will develop better in the future?"
Chu Zhenyu said with a smile: "Let's talk about Shenzhen. It was originally just a small fishing village that no one cared about. But with the support of national policies, Shenzhen has now been reborn and has become the most popular special economic zone. Who would have thought of this?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "That's right, the development of each city must be combined with its geographical location and the country's development strategy, and the positioning of the city is also very important. This depends on each The leader of a big city.
If you encounter a leader with strong ability, the city's development will naturally advance by leaps and bounds; if you encounter a leader with mediocre ability, the city's development will stagnate, and there may even be economic regression. "
Deng Yunsong continued: "Geographic location is indeed very important. Our country has established four special economic zones, but the development of the other three special economic zones is not as good as Shenzhen. In addition to other objective reasons, the biggest reason is the geographical location. Shenzhen has Hong Kong as its leader, while the other three special economic zones do not have this advantage.
Therefore, the future development , I believe that Shenzhen's advantages will become greater and greater, and even leave the other three special economic zones far behind. "
Song Yu nodded and said: "Hong Kong has provided great help to Shenzhen. It is precisely because of this superior geographical location that the country attaches great importance to Shenzhen that the other three special economic zones cannot compare to. It is inevitable that Shenzhen will leave the other three special economic zones far behind."
Along the way, several top students were communicating with each other, and their horizons were extremely broad. Zhang Xiuping and Deng Yunzhen, a pair of sisters-in-law, who were much inferior in both knowledge and learning, did not say a word, but listened to the communication silently and absorbed the nutrition.
Soon, everyone settled down in a restaurant.
Due to the fatigue of the journey, several people went back to their rooms to wash and rest after dinner.
The next morning, after breakfast, Deng Yunheng went to the bride's house with the members of the bride-receiving team to pick up the bride.
The two sides met and introduced each other and greeted each other, so we will not mention it.
The current marriage process is not as complicated as in later generations. Picking up the bride is just a simple process. Therefore, Deng Yunheng and others drank tea and ate some snacks at Gu's house, and then went to the airport with the bride's wedding guests to fly back to Nanning.
Among the wedding guests were Gu Caiwei's parents, sister and brother-in-law, as well as her cousin's sister-in-law and cousin.
Originally, according to customs in the Shuangwang realm, parents would not serve as wedding guests when their daughter gets married, but there is no such custom here in the Gu family. If someone wants to see their daughter get married, the man will naturally not refuse.
In fact, from a utilitarian point of view, I can’t wait for the girl’s parents to arrive!
Of course, they were not the only ones getting married. When they arrived in Nanning, they would meet up with Gu's mother's relatives. By then, Gu Caiwei's uncle, aunt, and cousins would also be getting married, so the number of people would be quite large.
…
noon.
Nanning Airport.
Deng Shirong, his eldest son, fourth son and a group of security personnel came to the airport to pick him up.
In addition to picking up the bride and her wedding guests, she also has to pick up many distinguished guests invited by her second son.
After waiting for about half an hour, I finally received the first distinguished guest. This distinguished guest was none other than Zhao Changzheng, who had returned from Tibet in the west (these two words cannot be separated by an ellipsis). He was also a native of Nanning.
Seeing the sign held at the exit, Zhao Changzheng hurriedly walked over and said hello: "Hello, I am Zhao Changzheng, an alumnus and fellow student of Deng Yunheng."
Deng Shirong quickly greeted with a smile: "Hello, President Zhao, I am Yun Heng's father. I heard him talk about you. You have worked hard all the way!"
The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and then Deng Shirong said with a smile: "I have arranged the car. President Zhao, would you like to go home to see your parents first, or go to the meeting point to have something to eat and wait for other students?"
Zhao Changzheng said: "I'd better go back and see my parents first. When it's time to set off, I'll come over and join everyone."
Deng Shirong said: "Okay, then I'll ask the driver to drive you back."
Zhao Changzheng quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle Deng, don't go to such trouble. Just leave the car to pick up other students. I am a local and I am very familiar with taking the bus."
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's okay. I have arranged several cars. I will be busy."
After hearing this, Zhao Changzheng no longer refused, thanked him, and then took the car under the guidance of Deng Yunhua.
…
Next, distinguished guests began to arrive one after another.
Some come alone, and some come together. Each one of them, taken individually, is the proud man of this era. They all have an enviable job. Even the most inferior one is the top leader in the township. Most of the others They are all deputy division level cadres.
The classmates and alumni that Deng Yunheng brought back during the summer vacation also arrived one by one, and greeted Deng Shirong warmly when they saw him.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jing, Deng Yunheng's old leader in the ministry, and several colleagues with whom he had a good relationship also arrived.
Tang Mingjie, his roommate who lives in Beijing, also arrived. They didn't know each other, but they were on the same flight. They didn't react until everyone walked to the "Deng Yunheng Wedding Reception" together.
Deng Shirong and his son warmly received every distinguished guest who arrived. After exchanging pleasantries, they arranged a car to take them to Wuyue Square.
When they arrived at Wuyue Square, their youngest daughter was naturally responsible for receiving them.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the bride and her wedding guests finally arrived in Nanning.
When the two parties met, they exchanged pleasantries again.
By the time all the guests were received, it was already half past three in the afternoon.
After hurriedly eating something, everyone got on two buses bound for Bobai County.
By the time we returned to Suifeng Hotel, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
If it had been this time in normal times, Suifeng Hotel would have been closed long ago.
But today is a special day. In order to receive distinguished guests from afar, Suifeng Hotel will naturally not close so early, but will always be prepared.
Now that the woman's party and other guests have arrived, the restaurant will serve the dishes as soon as possible, allowing everyone to have a delicious Bobai-style meal.
