What is home? This is an old but not outdated topic. Especially in China, family life takes up most of one's life. Even if one's heart is far away, one's roots will always be in the beginning.
The last time they had such a reunion was three years ago. If Xu Lei did not come back, it would be difficult to get together again. Several families sat together and chatted. The focus was naturally on Xu Lei and his fiancee Riko Maeda.
Xu Lei's adoptive father, the vice-chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, Xu Shousong, was nearly 60 years old, but compared to Lu Yiwei's father, he was much younger. After all, their occupations were different. His father was an ordinary farmer. Whether it was his dressing or his behavior, they were not on the same level.
Xu Shousong had a kind face, smiling from ear to ear. He looked at his "son" with eyes full of joy and love.
Xu Lei had inherited his father's genes. He was tall, even taller than Lu Yiwei. He was handsome, elegant, graceful, and had an extraordinary bearing. His speech was elegant, and his every movement revealed his unique charisma and strong self-confidence. Lu Yiwei, who was sitting on the side, sighed inwardly. He was considered a "nobody" in the local area. Compared to him, he could not be compared in terms of living conditions or spiritual world.
"Dad, I bought this chess for you when I was on a business trip in Myanmar. It is made of Myanmar jade. It feels very good."
Lu Weiguo was not good with words. He even felt strange when he saw his own son. He said awkwardly, "Why did you buy chess from so far away? It must be expensive."
Xu Shousong said with a smile, "Old Lu, Myanmar jade is famous all over the world. A bracelet costs tens of thousands. How many bracelets do you think this chess piece can make?"
Lu Weiguo did a simple calculation. He was so scared that he quickly pushed it away. "It's too expensive. Quickly return it. I don't want it."
Xu Lei said enthusiastically, "Dad, it's not expensive at all. It's just a token of my appreciation."
After pushing and shoving for a while, Lu Yiwei said, "Dad, Xu Lei carried it all the way back from abroad. It has no value. You should just accept it."
Lu Weiguo finally relented and reluctantly accepted it.
Everyone present had a gift. A massage chair for his mother, cosmetics for the ladies, and an iPhone for each man. Since he was so generous, it meant that he was doing quite well outside.
A few years ago, he heard that he was a senior executive of a Fortune 500 company. His fiancée worked in a medical company. Now that he was back in China, he couldn't help but think of the provincial investment promotion conference.
The atmosphere during the meal was quite harmonious. The topic of discussion was naturally about the customs of China and Japan. Xu Lei patiently answered every question. Riko Maeda spoke fluent Mandarin. If she didn't say that she was Japanese, no one would be able to tell.
After the meal, they quickly separated into small groups and scattered in various rooms of the club to chat. As Xu Shousong had other matters to attend to, he called Lu Yiwei to the living room for a face-to-face discussion. "Yiwei, there are many elites from all walks of life here tonight. According to the division of labor, I will be in charge of receiving a group of guests. So, I'll cut the long story short and simply talk to you. "
"Actually, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I never had the time. Long'an was thousands of miles away, but I had been paying attention to the situation there. How should I put it? I don't deny your ability. This is obvious to all. But it's a bit too hasty. Steady and far, not impatient, not too fast, not too slow, not too servile, not too arrogant, not too sad, this is the way of an official. You said that you just got rid of the previous County Magistrate and arrested so many people. It's easy to cause instability in the foundation and mess up. "
Xu Shousong was a discipline inspection cadre. He did things carefully, not rashly, not radical. As the local leader, he didn't make much achievements, but he was able to stabilize the overall situation. This was also his ability and ability. As for his point of view, it was certainly useful, but he didn't understand the situation in Long'an. It was not that he was eager to get rid of them, but he was forced to take this step.
These words couldn't be said to him, so he replied very seriously: "Thank you for reminding me, President Xu. I'm still young and impetuous, and I'm not calm enough in dealing with some things. I need to further strengthen my learning and improve my ability."
"Well, I've told you before that it's not necessarily a good thing to make progress too fast. In fact, I now regret letting you take charge of the Black Mountain County. If you had been steady, step by step, then those soul-stirring things wouldn't have happened. It's all in the past, and it's useless to say anything now. We can only look forward. Also, is it worth it for you to fall out with the Provincial Government because of the Long'an incident? I heard that Governor Zhao and Governor Qiu had a quarrel because of this incident. Don't implicate your personal interests because of work … "
Xu Shousong seemed to have endless things to say. Lu Yiwei was listening attentively in the beginning, but he had lost his patience towards the end. Clearly, the two of them had different thinking and ideals. If it was Bai Zongfeng, he would never say these things.
After talking for more than half an hour, Xu Lei came in, and Dong Xuebing stood up in a hurry. "I was too engrossed in chatting and forgot about the important matters. I'll leave first. Xiao Lei, remember to go home tonight. I have something to tell you. "After that, Dong Xuebing left in a hurry.
Looking at Xu Shousong's back and Lu Yiwei's expression, Xu Lei said considerately: "Is my old man nagging again? Ignore him. I'm tired of listening to him. "
Lu Yiwei lit a cigarette and looked at Dong Xuebing. "You changed again? You changed your hairstyle?"
Xu Lei touched his braid and laughed. "It's trendy now. If I'm not back for an event, I will be wearing jeans, boots, and a white T-shirt. Haha."
Lu Yiwei asked with interest, "You came back to participate in the investment promotion meeting?"
"Yes. The Department of Commerce had invited me. As an old employee, and it's my hometown, how can I not come back? I also have a few projects in my hands, and I intend to invest in China."
"Oh, you are now …"
"Vicki Fund. Have you heard of it?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
Xu Lei explained. "It's a venture capital company. Have you heard of SoftBank?"
"I've heard of it."
"Vicki Fund is a subsidiary of SoftBank. The difference is that the parent company invests in big companies with potential, and we focus on supporting small companies. Even if you only have an idea, as long as it can move me, I can still invest. My focus this year is on internet companies, cultural companies, etc. "
Lu Yiwei knew about this industry, but he did not know much about it. He asked curiously, "How much do you invest in a project?"
