In fact, according to the customs of Shannan, the parents of both sides of the engagement ceremony would give each other's children one or two thousand yuan to change their names.
Gao Zixuan called out, "Li Rui, open it and see how much your father-in-law gave you to change your name." Li Rui walked over with a smile and handed the envelope to Lu Qingman, saying, "See for yourself."
Gao Zixuan snatched the envelope from Lu Qingman's hands and said, "Why are you showing it to me? You're giving it to Qingman? Do you think she'll help you? She'll be embarrassed too, hmph. " He took out the money in the envelope and roughly counted it, saying, "Four thousand yuan. My goodness, that's not a small amount. You've made a small profit."
Li Rui was a little shocked, saying, "Dad, why are you giving me so much?" Lu Zhouxing explained, "As your father-in-law, I'll give you two thousand yuan. I'll give you another two thousand on behalf of your deceased mother-in-law. It's not a lot, that's all. " When Li Rui heard him mention his deceased wife, his heart trembled, and he respectfully said, "When can I pay my respects to my mother-in-law?" Lu Zhouxing instructed, "After you and Manman get married, the whole family will go visit her." Li Rui's heart ached when he heard this, and when he thought of his mother, his eyes turned red. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to let Lu Zhouxing see him.
Lu Zhouxing looked at this tall and burly prospective son-in-law, and suddenly thought of his life experience. His heart trembled, his experience was very similar to his daughter's. They both had a father but no mother, and he was even more pitiful than Manman. After all, his mother had passed away when he was a child, and he didn't know how he had survived all these years. However, his intelligence, character, and talent were not inferior to children from two-parent families. Of course, this was due to his own efforts, but it was also inextricably linked to his father's painstaking education. A strong curiosity arose in his heart about his father, and he wanted to see what kind of person had raised such a talent. But there was no need to rush. Wasn't the wedding coming soon? They would meet at that time.
Lu Zhouxing chatted with Lu Qingman and Gao Zixuan for a while, and also asked Gao Zixuan's father, Gao Guotai, and her uncle, Gao Guosong, recently. Then he got up, called Li Rui, and went upstairs.
Yu Hongwei accompanied the two young ladies in the living room. His gaze occasionally swept over Lu Qingman's beautiful face, and he thought to himself, Li Rui is really lucky. Just based on his good fortune in marriage, he is already eight streets ahead of me. Then, his gaze swept over Gao Zixuan's incomparably beautiful face, and he secretly sighed in his heart. In the future, he didn't know who would be lucky enough to marry this young lady. If anyone married such a stunning beauty, even if he was asked to become a deity, he wouldn't change his mind.
Gao Zixuan saw that Lu Qingman's face was flushed, and she seemed to be both shy and happy. He asked mischievously, "What are you secretly happy about? Just because Uncle Lu acknowledged you as his son-in-law, you're so happy? "Lu Qingman didn't want to say too much in front of Yu Hongwei, so she said," How can I be happy? Don't talk nonsense. " Gao Zixuan laughed and said, "How can I be happy? Go look in the mirror. Your face is just short of writing, 'I, Lu Qingman, am very, very happy today. I finally got married,' right?" Lu Qingman burst into laughter, pulled her hand and said, "Damn girl, you're so annoying." Gao Zixuan said, "What do you think your father is saying to your husband right now?" Lu Qingman said, "How would I know?" Gao Zixuan said, "Guess." Lu Qingman simply shook her head and said, "I'm not guessing." Gao Zixuan laughed and said, "I'm guessing that your father is telling Li Rui, 'Hurry up and give birth to a grandson for me. I want to hold a grandson.'"
These words made Lu Qingman's face turn red. Although her face had always been red, this time it was even redder. She was both shy and angry. She fiercely pinched Gao Zixuan's thigh and said, "Shut your mouth. No one will sell you as a mute." Gao Zixuan said, "Didn't you want to have a child for a long time? Why are you still playing dumb with me? " Lu Qingman was not the least bit embarrassed to talk to her about these things in private. Today, she was in front of Yu Hongwei. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She wished she could find a hole to hide in. She stood up and said, "Let's go to the bathroom." Gao Zixuan laughed and said, "Why are you so angry? Do you want to kill me to silence me? You go, I'm not going, hehe. "
As Yu Hongwei watched the two girls teasing each other, he couldn't help but smile as well. His gaze was always on Gao Zi Xuan's face. When she was slightly angry, aside from being 70% gorgeous, there was also a 30% charm. Her facial features were picturesque, graceful and charming. Just by looking at her, he was intoxicated. He couldn't take his gaze away from her charming face.
At this moment, in the small living room on the second floor, Lu Zhouxing and Li Rui were having a father-and-son-in-law conversation.
Lu Zhouxing did not ask the two about the wedding preparations. They could handle this kind of small matter by themselves. Moreover, when they were downstairs, the girl from the Gao family had expressed that she would help take care of this matter, so there was no need for him to worry. He also did not ask about the two's life and work in Qingyang after marriage. As a father-in-law, there was no need for him to worry. His daughter was already married, so what was there to worry about? Compared to these trivial matters, he was more concerned about Li Rui's personal development.
He asked, "Has Qingyang been very chaotic recently?" Li Rui did not know what he was referring to. He sorted out his thoughts and answered one by one, "On the surface, Qingyang's officialdom is a bit chaotic. The former Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Wenlin, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Feng Weidong, were both fired due to improper conduct. However, these are only individual cases. In fact, under the leadership of Song Shuji and Mayor Sun, Qingyang's officialdom is very stable and peaceful. However, these two cases have attracted the attention of the Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Huang. Previously, Secretary Huang went to Qingyang for a private visit over the weekend. "Lu Zhouxing raised his eyebrows and said," Oh? Old Huang secretly went to Qingyang? I don't know about this. It seems that he still values Song Chaoyang very much. "
Li Rui said carefully, "Maybe it's because Qingyang's leaders have been changing too frequently recently, so it gives people the impression that Qingyang is a bit chaotic." Lu Zhouxing said, "It's good that it's chaotic on the surface, but I'm afraid that the people at the top can't see that it's chaotic below." Li Rui could not understand everything he said. He felt that he was insinuating that there was someone at the bottom causing trouble in Qingyang's officialdom. Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. If there was no one causing trouble, how could Zhang Wenlin and Feng Weidong be fired? Unfortunately, he did not know that the person who got rid of Zhang Wenlin might be someone else, but the person who got rid of Feng Weidong was his son-in-law in front of him. He asked thoughtfully, "If you already know that someone is causing trouble, how do you stop him?" Lu Zhouxing smiled and said, "Not bad, you're acting like one of us now. You know how to ask questions."
Li Rui smiled embarrassedly and said, "I still have to learn more from you in the future." Lu Zhouxing stopped smiling and said, "Going back to your question just now, let's analyze it. You said that someone is causing trouble, but what is his purpose? As the saying goes, one doesn't wake up early if there are no benefits. This is even more true for people in the officialdom. If there are no benefits, no one will do it. You have to first understand his purpose for causing trouble, then you have to take the right medicine to solve the problem. His methods can be thunderous or gentle. You have to act according to the situation and not stick to the rules. But at the same time, you have to pay attention to politics and maintain the unity of the overall situation. To put it bluntly, it's all about balance. " Li Rui seemed to understand and nodded repeatedly. He asked again, "If we don't know who is causing trouble, what should we do?"
Lu Zhouxing smiled shrewdly and said, "That's not difficult. Then we have to first determine who is causing trouble." Li Rui said, "But if we don't know, how can we be sure?" Lu Zhouxing pointed to his head and said, "Use your brain. You can use the hypothesis method, the elimination method, the comparison method … "Li Rui connected these words to the people in the Standing Committee of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and suddenly had an epiphany. It was as if he had opened a window to another world and said," I think I understand a little. "Lu Zhouxing asked," How does Song Chaoyang deal with this mess? " Li Rui said, "His methods are similar to what you said. There is a hint of gentleness and even compromise. It seems that team unity is the most important thing." Speaking up to this point, he thought about how his boss was almost in danger again because of the Executive Deputy Mayor Jia Yulong's mistress. He couldn't help but sigh. His boss wanted to maintain team unity, but why were there always people who didn't pay attention to maintaining unity?
Lu Zhouxing asked, "What did you think of that made you sigh?" Li Ruixin's head jumped, but he didn't dare to hide it and said, "I thought of something. Song Shuji is actually quite difficult, so I couldn't help but sigh." Lu Zhouxing smiled and said, "Tell me about it." Li Rui told him the truth about how Chen Xinying ran to the Municipal Party Committee building and made a scene and complained to Song Chaoyang about Jia Yulong. In the end, he asked carefully, "In such a situation, is it right for Song Shuji to do this?" Lu Zhouxing didn't get angry when he heard this. He frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Based on his current situation, this is the right thing to do." Li Rui hurriedly asked, "But if Mayor Jia's affair is exposed in the future, won't the Provincial Party Committee leaders hold him responsible for not reporting it?" Lu Zhouxing said, "If he is a politically mature person, then he must have prepared a way out."
