Chapter 387 Deng Yunheng's face, the gradually formed network of relationships

A certain department in Beijing.

Zhao Jing was working when the phone on her desk suddenly rang. She put down her documents and answered the call: "Hello, this is XX Company."

Deng Yunheng's familiar voice came from the phone: "Leader, it's me, Happy New Year!"

After receiving the call from this former subordinate whom she admired, Zhao Jing's mood obviously improved, and she greeted him: "Happy New Year, County Magistrate Deng!"

The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile before Deng Yunheng got to the point and said, "Leader, I'm calling you this time to invite you to my wedding."

Zhao Jing was surprised and asked, "Deng Yunheng, you are doing a good job of keeping this secret. When are you going to talk to someone?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "I dated her last year. My dad helped me find her. I thought she was pretty good, so we got together."

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, when she sounded out her mother-in-law, she found out that her mother-in-law attached great importance to matching the two families, so she did not help with the match.

Later, when the subordinate came back from his hometown to give her some local specialties, he happened to run into her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law also had a good impression of Deng Yunheng, but unfortunately the two did not work in the same ministry. In addition, Zhao Jing was unable to help with the introduction because of her mother-in-law. The two could not meet and no one helped to bring them together, so naturally no spark of love was created.

In addition, not long after that, Deng Yunheng took the initiative to apply for a transfer to work in Fujian. The two sides were thousands of miles apart, so the matter was left unresolved.

Now, hearing the news that Deng Yunheng is getting married, her sister-in-law has even less chance.

Zhao Jing sighed in her heart, but smiled and asked, "Deng Yunheng, where is your partner from? What does his family do? I need to help see if he is worthy of the outstanding talent from our ministry."

Deng Yunheng laughed and said, "Leader, you are too kind to me. My girlfriend is from Wuhan, Hubei, and her father is also in the system."

Zhao Jing's reaction was quite quick, and she immediately asked, "Which leader in the province is this?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "My future father-in-law's surname is Gu."

Zhao Jing understood immediately after hearing this. She was born into a family of officials and was also a member of the system. She basically knew the information of her colleagues at the provincial level and above. When Deng Yunheng said this, she naturally knew who it was the first time.

Although the other party's family background cannot be compared with her natal family or her husband's family, it is at the provincial level after all. There are not many of them in the whole country, so he is also a real high-ranking official.

Zhao Jing praised him repeatedly, "Your future father-in-law has really good taste. He picked you as his perfect son-in-law right away."

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 wedding day? Where will you hold the wedding?"

Deng Yunheng said: "The wedding day is the seventh day of the second lunar month, and the banquet will be held in my hometown."

Zhao Jing said: "Okay, I will definitely come."

Deng Yunheng said: "Thank you for giving me face."

…

Jiangsu.

An office of Pei County government.

Li Haibo received a call from Peking University alumnus Deng Yunheng.

Li Haibo was the president of the student union at Peking University at the 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 Deng Yunheng was choosing a career direction after graduation, he even consulted with Deng Yunheng! Moreover, after graduation and joining the workforce, 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 got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Li, I called you this time to invite you to my wedding."

Li Haibo laughed and scolded, "You are so good, County Magistrate Deng. I didn't expect that you would get married first. Where is your sister-in-law from? What is her family background?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "I'm from Wuhan, and my family is also in the system."

Li Haibo asked tentatively: "Provincial level background?"

Deng Yunheng hummed, then joked: "County Magistrate Li, you are lagging behind me in this area, you have to work harder!"

Upon hearing this, Li Haibo attached even greater importance to this Peking University alumnus. He was already good enough, had a good family background, and had started working earlier than Deng Yunheng.

As a result, Deng Yunheng, who had no background, was able to keep up with his promotion pace, which was really amazing.

The wife he married now came from a family with a provincial-level background, which would definitely give him a lot of help. Perhaps before long, not only would Deng Yunheng be as high in rank as him, but he would also be on par with him in position, becoming the county magistrate of Fuqing County.

Such alumni with bright prospects are worth making close friends with.

Therefore, in response to Deng Yunheng's joke, Li Haibo smiled and said, "Yes, I have to work harder and not fall behind you in this regard."

Deng Yunheng laughed and said, "Then I'll wait to drink your wedding wine."

Next, the two sides chatted for a while, and finally hung up the phone after they agreed on the time and place of the wedding banquet.

…

On this day, Deng Yunheng kept calling his former leaders, colleagues with whom he had a good relationship, and classmates and alumni from Peking University.

Among this group of close friends, alumni and fellow townsmen at Peking University, the one who is currently doing the best is Li Haibo, the president of the Student Union, who has now become a veritable county magistrate.

Secondly, there are Deng Yunheng and Song Yu, both of whom are deputy director-level cadres.

The others are far behind these three, either still standing still or at the deputy director level.

Including Zhao Changzheng, the former president of the Guangxi Hometown Association, who is currently only at the deputy director level.

Of course, Zhao Changzheng chose to work hard in XZ. The difficulty of his promotion is higher than that of others, and his career prospects are more promising. It is hard to say what his future prospects will be. He may remain unknown all his life, or he may soar to the sky.

This depends on the opportunity and your own ability.

Deng Yunheng personally called to invite the other party to attend his wedding, and they have always kept in touch. This gradually formed network of relationships was woven at the reminder of his father from the day he entered school. I believe that it won’t take long for this network of relationships to play its due role.

Anyone who received his call would only respond with two words - I'll be there.

From this, we can also see the status of Deng Yunheng in the eyes of leaders, colleagues, classmates, alumni, and fellow villagers.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, the distance between them was thousands of miles, and it was not known whether there would be any work to do at that time. In this situation, to dare to say the words "I will definitely be there" meant that he really regarded Deng Yunheng as an extremely important person.

…

Songshan High School.

On the second floor of the teachers' dormitory, Li Hongjun was giving an ideological lesson to his son Li Huaxin.

"Son, today is your first day of high school. I think there are some things I need to tell you."

Li Hongjun looked at his son, who had high hopes for him, and said earnestly, "I have tutored you very hard from elementary school to junior high school, 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 his useless son and said helplessly, "The problem is that you didn't study voluntarily, but were forced to study by me. You know my student Deng Yunheng, right?"

The corner of Li Huaxin's mouth twitched: "I know!"

His father had taught a top student at Peking University, which he always regarded as the greatest honor in his teaching career. He had said it in front of his family at least 70 or 80 times, and Li Huaxin's ears were almost callused from hearing it. But his father still asked him if he knew it? Although he knew that this was his father's common opening line, 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 between him and 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 made it so obvious, so he followed his father's words and answered, "Because your favorite student started to work hard and study hard 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 he entered the second year of high school, he found his own study method, and he focused all his attention on studying. This made his academic performance improve rapidly, and he was eventually admitted to Peking University, becoming the first student since the establishment of Songshan High School.

Li Huaxin was also touched. He knew very well how successful his father's favorite student was. Only a few years after graduating from Peking University, he had already become a county magistrate. 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, "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, you must work hard and study consciously.

You are not young anymore. As a high school student, it is time for you to be sensible. Dad will not force you to study anymore. It is entirely up to you whether you want to study or not.

In short, if you fail to get into university in three years, you can follow the young people in the village to work in Guangdong! That’s all I have to say. It’s up to you to decide how to make your own life.”

Li Huaxin nodded silently. Today's first class of school made him see a different father and also made him feel the real pressure.

He is not even an adult yet, and he has to choose his own life!

Just when Li Huaxin was feeling extremely confused, there was a sudden knock on the door. He hurried over to open it.

The person knocking on the door was none other than Deng Yunhua. He smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is Teacher Li home?"

"Here I am."

Li Huaxin opened the door and said, "Dad, I'm looking for you."

Li Hongjun also saw Deng Yunhua at this time, and said in surprise: "Deng Yunhua, why are you here?"

Deng Yunzhu and Deng Yunhua, a pair of poor academic siblings, were known to all the teachers in the school thanks to their second brother. This was especially true of Li Hongjun, who was Deng Yunheng's homeroom teacher.

"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 said with a rosy smile, "Okay, that's great. Where is your second sister-in-law from?"

Deng Yunhua said: "From Wuhan, Hubei."

Li Hongjun was surprised and asked, "So far?"

Deng Yunhua smiled and said, "It's a long way, Mr. Li. On the day of my second brother's wedding, a car will come to the school to pick you up at around nine in the morning. I still have to send invitations to other teachers, so I'll leave first!"

Li Hongjun nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

After Deng Yunhua left, Li Hongjun took the invitation and looked at it happily.

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was 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 a time of war and chaos. His father was an old Red Army soldier. In addition to his own outstanding work ability, he was able to reach his current high position thanks to the support of his father.

Of course, his family also paid a considerable price, and he was the only one in the family who survived until liberation.

Therefore, there were no direct relatives on Gu's father's side, only a distant cousin who came with her children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

All the relatives on Gu's mother's side were in Guangxi, and Gu Caiwei was originally going to marry in Guangxi, so naturally there was no need for her to rush to Wuhan.

The remaining relatives are the eldest daughter’s in-laws.

As for other colleagues, subordinates, and friends, the Gu family did not invite any of them. They had no intention of marrying off 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, just a small team of six. Family members included the eldest sister, sister and third brother, friends included Song Yu and Chu Zhenyu, and Deng Yunheng himself, forming a six-person bride-picking team.

It should be noted that there were only five people who came here 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 division-level cadre and serves as deputy county magistrate.

Because he was from Hubei, 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 indeed a national historical and cultural city and an important birthplace of Chu culture. Our Nanning in Guangxi is really not on the same level as here. The difference is too great."

Song Yu continued, "There is indeed no comparison. It has only been a few years since Nanning in Guangxi became the capital, while Wuhan became the 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 gathering places in the world."

In addition, Wuhan has convenient transportation links and is known as the "crossroads of nine provinces". It is the largest inland water, land and air transportation hub in my country. How can a border town like Nanning in Guangxi compare with Wuhan?"

“Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Who knows which city will develop better in the future?”

Chu Zhenyu smiled and said, "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 become the most popular special economic zone. Who could 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. The positioning of the city is also very important. This depends on the leaders of the major cities.

If there is a capable leader, the city will naturally develop rapidly; if there is a mediocre leader, 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, I believe that Shenzhen’s advantages will grow even bigger in the future, and it may even leave the other three special economic zones far behind.”

Song Yu nodded and said, "Hong Kong has provided a huge help to Shenzhen. It is also because of this superior geographical location that the country attaches more importance to Shenzhen than the other three special economic zones. 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 sister-in-law who were much inferior in both knowledge and experience, kept silent, but listened to the communication silently and absorbed the nutrition from it.

Soon, everyone settled down in a hotel.

Due to the fatigue from the long journey, after dinner, they went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, Deng Yunheng and the members of the wedding party went to the bride's house to pick up the bride.

We will not mention the time when the two sides met and introduced themselves to each other and said hello.

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 wife and cousin.

According to the custom of Shuangwang Territory, parents would not serve as wedding guests when their daughter gets married. However, the Gu family does not have such a custom. They want to see their daughter get married with their own eyes, so the man will naturally not refuse.

In fact, from a utilitarian point of view, they even hope that the bride's parents will come! Of course, there are more than just a few people to see the bride off. When they arrive in Nanning, they will meet up with Gu's mother's relatives. By then, Gu Caiwei's uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​will also be there to see the bride off, so the number of people is not small.

…

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 welcoming the bride and her wedding guests, they also had to welcome the many distinguished guests invited by the second son.

After waiting for about half an hour, we finally received the first distinguished guest. This distinguished guest was none other than Zhao Changzheng, who flew back from Tibet. He was also a native of Nanning.

Seeing the sign at the exit, Zhao Changzheng hurried over to greet them, "Hello, I'm Zhao Changzheng, a schoolmate and fellow villager of Deng Yunheng."

Deng Shirong quickly smiled and greeted, "Hello, President Zhao, I'm Yunheng's father. I've heard him talk about you. You've worked hard along the way!"

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I have already arranged a car. President Zhao, do you want to go home to see your parents first, or go to the gathering point to eat something and wait for other students?"

Zhao Changzheng said: "I'd better go back to see my parents first. When it's time to leave, I'll come and meet up with everyone."

Deng Shirong said: "Okay, then I'll ask the driver to drive you back."

Zhao Changzheng waved his hand and said, "Uncle Deng, don't bother. Leave the bus to pick up other students. I'm a local and I'm very familiar with taking the bus."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's okay. I have arranged several cars and I can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changzheng no longer refused, thanked him, and then got in the car under the guidance of Deng Yunhua.

…

Next, distinguished guests began to arrive one after another.

Some came alone, and some came in groups. Each of them, taken individually, was a favored one of this era, and had an enviable job. Even the lowest-ranking one was the head of a township, and most of the others were deputy division-level cadres.

In addition, 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, Deng Yunheng's old leader Zhao Jing who worked in the ministry and several colleagues with whom he had a good relationship also arrived.

His roommate Tang Mingjie, who lives in Beijing, also arrived. They didn't know each other, but they were on the same flight. It was only when they all walked towards the "Deng Yunheng Wedding Reception Office" that both sides realized what was going on.

Deng Shirong and his son warmly welcomed every distinguished guest who arrived. After some greetings, they arranged for a car to take them to Wuyue Square.

When they arrived at Wuyue Square, the youngest daughter would naturally be responsible for receiving them.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the bride and her guests finally arrived in Nanning.

When the two sides met, they exchanged pleasantries again.

By the time all the guests had gathered, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

After eating something quickly, everyone boarded 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 were at this time on normal days, the Suifeng Hotel would have closed long ago.

However, today is a special day. In order to welcome distinguished guests from afar, Suifeng Hotel will naturally not close so early, but has been preparing.

Now that the bride's party and other guests have arrived, the restaurant will serve the dishes immediately so that everyone can enjoy a delicious meal with Bobai flavor.

…

PS: Yunheng is getting married, relatives who have monthly tickets can give gifts and prepare for the feast^_^ (End of this chapter)
