"Haha, Qingqing, Dad wants to ask you, how is Xiuyuan's work recently? Is it going well?" Zhang Yucai finally spoke. This afternoon when he was having lunch with someone outside, he heard people talking about the new executive deputy mayor.
It was said that he was a young man with the surname Li. He didn't take it seriously at first, but later he heard people say that he seemed to be Li Xiuyuan.
He was excited at once, thinking that it might be his son or brother-in-law.
Same name, but younger... That's why I rushed home to inquire.
"How's Xiuyuan doing?" Li Qingqing didn't expect her father-in-law to ask about her brother, so she replied, "I haven't heard anything's wrong. The last time he came home, he said he's been busy with work lately and might not be home often. He told me to visit when I'm free, and to call him if I have any questions."
Is he busy at work? Maybe he won’t be able to go home often. Zhang Yucai’s heart beat faster.
"What are you busy with? Can't you go home in the county town?" Zhang Yucai asked.
Li Qingqing shook her head. "There were guests at home at the time, so I didn't ask in detail. Dad, what did you hear?"
This week she did go to her parents' home, but she only went there at noon. Her parents were in the restaurant, so she helped them for a while and sat for a while. Seeing that her parents were in good health, she didn't say much.
"I heard that there is a new deputy mayor in our town, and his name seems to be Li Xiuyuan." Zhang Yucai said directly.
"Deputy mayor?" Li Qingqing was stunned. She understood what her father-in-law Zhang Yucai meant. She smiled and shook her head and said, "Dad, you must be overthinking it. How is this possible? How long has Xiuyuan been working? It's less than an hour. He started working in May last year, and it's only February now..."
Zhang Zhihao also laughed. "Dad, don't you always say you've met some leaders? Within the system, there's a rank of deputy section chief in the third grade and a rank of section chief in the fifth grade. Haven't you heard of that? Xiuyuan has only been working for a short time. How could he possibly become deputy mayor?"
Zhang Yucai shook his head: "But I heard that the new deputy mayor is very young, Qingqing, why don't you call and ask?"
"That's not necessary, Dad. You're definitely overthinking it." Li Qingqing laughed and shook her head. "Besides, if he really was the deputy mayor, how could I not know?"
"Let's ask, what if?" Zhang Yucai insisted.
Li Qingqing took out her phone and was about to call Li Xiuyuan directly, but Zhang Yucai stopped her: "Qingqing, you should call my in-laws. If it's not the truth, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Xiuyuan to ask directly? That's not good."
"Haha, Dad, you're so particular about this?" Li Qingqing laughed: "It's not just a matter of chance, it's definitely not."
Li Qingqing said this and called her relative.
The call was connected quickly. At that time, the old couple were taking a lunch break at home.
"Hello."
"mom."
"Qingqing, what's wrong?"
"Mom, I want to ask you something. How is my brother's work going recently?" Li Qingqing looked at her father-in-law with a curious look, and simply turned on the hands-free mode of her mobile phone and placed it on the coffee table.
"He went to work in Central Town."
