Li Xiuyuan followed his cousin Song Yang into a private room in the restaurant. His aunt's family, grandmother, sister, and brother-in-law's family were already waiting there, but everyone was drinking tea while waiting.
When Li Xiuyuan came in, his aunt Song Liming stood up from her chair and walked towards him with a smile on her face.
"Xiuyuan, you've arrived. You've been busy working in Central Town, haven't you? Are you tired?" Song Limin was very excited. "I just found out from chatting that you've been appointed deputy mayor of Central Town. We should have had a meal together to celebrate for you."
"Aunt, aunt, parents...sister, brother-in-law..."
Li Xiuyuan greeted everyone one by one, and everyone's eyes in the private room were focused on Li Xiuyuan. After the greetings, Song Liming pulled Li Xiuyuan to sit next to a group of elders.
Li Xiuyuan was actually reluctant to go, and the family just wanted to have a simple meal together, but his aunt was too enthusiastic and said that the theme of this meal was to thank Li Xiuyuan.
Song Yang promoted him to deputy section chief of the logistics department. In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, this was not a big position, and he was not even a leader. The lowest level of leader was a deputy section-level cadre.
The deputy section chief in the gas company is just a position and has nothing to do with rank. But for Song Liming, this also means that his son is the leader, so he always calls him deputy section chief. No matter how much power he has or what rank he is, he still has to call him Section Chief Song.
He originally thought that if Li Xiuyuan gave a heads-up, he could get his son Song Yang a lighter job so that he wouldn't have to go out every day to repair pipelines or dig ditches, which are hard work.
Unexpectedly, a deputy section chief was promoted.
You're the only deputy section chief, and although you don't have many people under you, why would they promote you if you don't have anyone to talk to?
Being a deputy section chief is considered good enough for an ordinary person. But if he becomes a lower section chief, Song Yang, the deputy section chief, is no match for Li Xiuyuan, the deputy section chief.
As soon as Li Xiuyuan arrived, the food and drinks began to be served. Everyone had already arrived and was waiting for Li Xiuyuan.
"Xiuyuan, thank you so much, aunt. In the future, whenever you can come to my place, just ask me and I will definitely not refuse." Song Liming first raised his glass to toast Li Xiuyuan.
This provides a lot of emotional value.
"Auntie, you're being too polite. I wasn't polite before."
"Haha, yes, yes, auntie said the wrong thing. Come, let's have a drink."
The dinner started, and everyone's eyes were always on Li Xiuyuan, and the topic always revolved around Li Xiuyuan. Although it was a family gathering, there was still a priority.
Song Yang also toasted Li Xiuyuan. Actually, Song Yang was not a careerist and had no idea about this leadership position. However, after becoming the deputy section chief, he felt a little proud for a week. Being called "Section Chief Song" again and again made him feel vain.
At this time, I also learned how to toast.
While taking care of the two children, Zhang Zhihao was paying attention to his brother-in-law who was the center of attention. At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the words of his elder brother-in-law. Even though his wife, the aunt-in-law, seemed out of tune.
But look at him now, he is very capable and can coax his brother-in-law, and even his son Song Yang can become a deputy section chief.
No matter how close the relationship is, it still needs to be managed.
