On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Zhicheng returned to his mother's house in a Camry with Qin Yuming. The Qin family had renovated their home last year, and the furniture was also updated. The large-screen LCD TV in the living room was also particularly impressive. Seeing Fang Zhicheng carrying a lot of bags into the house, Qin's mother quickly took them from him and said with a smile: "It's enough for you to come here, why do you have to bring so many things?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "It's nothing. I brought some health care products for my uncle and aunt."
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "My mom is so hypocritical. She said she doesn't want us to bring anything, but in fact she's trying to see who's happier. I'm afraid she'll show off to others when she goes out."
Mother Qin glared at Qin Yuming and said unhappily, "How can you talk to your mother like that?" After that, she happily put the gift into the storage room.
Qin Lang heard some noise outside the door, walked out of the bedroom, and saw Fang Zhicheng. His expression was a little stiff. After all, Fang Zhicheng was not only his brother-in-law, but also his former leader.
"Hello, brother-in-law!" Qin Lang scratched his head and said with a smile.
Fang Zhicheng patted Qin Lang on the shoulder and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I noticed that you have gained some weight."
Qin Lang sighed and said, "The Merchants Bank has a lot of social events, so I have developed a drinking habit."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and reminded: "This is just an excuse. The main reason is lack of exercise."
Qin Lang nodded quickly and promised: "Yes, it's mainly due to lack of exercise. After the New Year, I will plan a fitness plan and try to lose weight within three months."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Health is the capital of revolution. If you are healthy, you will have more energy to work."
Fang Zhicheng and Qin Lang exchanged pleasantries for a while before Wen Ling came out of the bedroom. She walked to the sofa and whispered, "Hello, Secretary Fang!"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all one family, so just call me brother-in-law from now on."
Wen Ling smiled sweetly and said, "Brother-in-law!"
Qin Yuming laughed and said, "Wen Ling, you are too honest. Why did you shout when he asked you to, but didn't ask him for anything?"
Wen Ling blushed, lowered her head and smiled: "Brother-in-law is my leader, and I habitually obey orders."
Qin Yuming pinched Fang Zhicheng secretly, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What kind of drug did you give them? Why do I feel like everyone is surrounding you?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and whispered: "This is my charm."
The four of them chatted in the living room for a while, and then Mother Qin came out of the kitchen and shouted, "Get ready, it's time to eat."
Fang Zhicheng followed Qin Yuming to the restaurant and found that today's lunch was unusually sumptuous. He smiled and said to Qin's mother, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work. I'm afraid it will take a long time to prepare so many dishes."
Mother Qin waved her hand and said with a smile: "It won't take long. Some of the dishes are cooked by the old man, but I don't know if they suit your taste."
Fang Zhicheng said politely: "Just looking at it makes me feel hungry."
Mother Qin was amused and smiled. She said, "Then eat quickly. If the food gets cold, it won't taste so good."
Qin's father liked to have a drink, so Qin Lang and Fang Zhicheng drank white wine with him, while Qin's mother, Wen Ling and Qin Yuming drank wine. The family was having a great time. After several rounds of drinking, Qin Lang seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and said, "Brother-in-law, there is something I want to discuss with you. Is it okay?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "We are one family, so there is no need to be hesitant. Just say it directly."
Qin Lang glanced at Wen Ling, then said to Fang Zhicheng: "Brother-in-law, Wen Ling and I want to transfer jobs..."
Qin Yuming frowned when she heard this and said unhappily, "Qin Lang, didn't you and Wen Ling pass the internal exam some time ago and are now officially employed? Why do you want to transfer jobs now?"
Qin Yuming knew some things. If you want to pass the internal exam, it depends on your test ability on the one hand, and on your connections on the other. Fang Zhicheng also put in a lot of effort for the staffing problem of the two.
Mother Qin frowned and whispered, "Yuming, don't be anxious. Wait until Qin Lang finishes his words."
Seeing this, Fang Zhicheng knew that Qin Lang might be transferred to another job, and the whole family might have discussed it. But he and Qin Yuming were still kept in the dark. He smiled and said, "Qin Lang, where do you want to be transferred to? I will do my best to help you."
Qin Lang was touched to see Fang Zhicheng so straightforward, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, Wen Ling and I have thought about whether we can go to Hanzhou to work. There are two main reasons. First, the current situation of Dongtai's investment promotion system is a bit complicated, and we don't like the current working atmosphere; second, you working in Hanzhou can give us better support and guidance."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Qin Lang, it's not easy to work anywhere. Even if you go to Hanzhou, you will probably have to bear a lot of pressure. Secondly, if you are in Yinzhou, you can take care of your uncle and aunt from time to time. We are not in Yinzhou usually. If you leave too, won't they be very lonely?"
Mother Qin said quickly, "Zhicheng, don't worry about us. The old man and I are in good health. If I miss you, I can go see you."
Qin Yuming roughly guessed what it meant. Mother Qin was very supportive of Qin Lang and Wen Ling's plan to transfer to Hanzhou. After all, it's nice to be under a big tree for shade. Although Fang Zhicheng still had direct descendants in Dongtai who would take care of Qin Lang and Wen Ling, it would be more beneficial for Qin Lang and Wen Ling's future if they went to Hanzhou.
In the officialdom, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. With Fang Zhicheng being a big tree, why not cling to him
Qin Yuming frowned and said, "The government's personnel transfers are subject to discipline, not to mention that this involves the transfer of two cities. Aren't you making things difficult for him?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Aunt, Qin Lang, I can't guarantee you now. I can only say that there is a certain amount of room for maneuver. Whether it will succeed or not, I have to find a way."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng agreed, Qin Lang felt relieved. He glanced at Wen Ling and saw a hint of joy in her eyes. Wen Ling asked for the job transfer to Hanzhou, and Qin's mother agreed. Qin Lang knew that Wen Ling was considering their future, but he also knew that Fang Zhicheng would have to go to great lengths to make this happen.
Chapter 0600: Love the House and the Dogs in It Is Deep Love
After dinner, a group of people gathered to play mahjong. Fang Zhicheng didn't want to play, but because of the two old people's request, he also sat at the table. Fang Zhicheng's luck was a bit good today, but he couldn't win other people's money, so it was a bit difficult to play mahjong. Qin Yuming saw Fang Zhicheng's thoughts and smiled softly: "Can you be more normal? Don't calculate so much when playing cards, okay?"
Fang Zhicheng pinched a card, pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know how to calculate, I just don't know how to play at all."
As soon as this card fell into the river, Qin's mother laughed and said, "I'm confused."
Fang Zhicheng grinned exaggeratedly, showing a look of annoyance, and sighed, "I lost badly today." Then he picked out a red bill and handed it to Qin's mother.
It has to be said that Fang Zhicheng lost a lot of brain cells in order to deal with this card game. It was even more tiring than fighting wits and minds in officialdom, because not only did he have to lose to the other three, but he also had to lose extremely cleverly so that the other three could not see the trick.
After washing up, Fang Zhicheng lay on the bed, not wanting to move. After a while, Qin Yuming pushed the door open and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You don't look happy!"
