Lin Manman definitely doesn’t know about these things, and Gu Yanting has no way of knowing them either!
He was feeling very impatient in his heart, but he pretended to entertain Zhang Yueying and her family!
There's no other way. There are still Grandpa Gu's other old friends and their families. It's not good to be cold to them just because of Yueying's family!
If it was just their family, he would have already...
No, he won’t open the door if it’s just them. This family is really annoying!
Of course, Zhang's father didn't know about his mental activities. He was looking at Gu Yanting with satisfaction and said to Gu's father in a flattering manner:
"Yan Ting has been promising since he was young, and he is even more amazing now. I heard that he is going to be promoted again? This really has a bright future!"
Hearing this gossip and bringing it up on the table, Father Gu was very unhappy and said:
"This kind of thing is just nonsense. He is only 24 and was just promoted last year. How could he be promoted again?"
What Zhang's father had said was not false. Originally, Gu Yanting was going to be promoted to the next level because of his good performance last time!
However, after Gu's father found out about this, he felt that consecutive promotions were too eye-catching. Now was a turbulent time, and he was afraid that Gu Yanting's promotion would be suppressed!
This decision was the result of discussion between Father Gu and Grandpa Gu.
However, Gu Yanting will not be promoted, and Lin's father's materials have already been submitted, so Lin's father's influence on Lin Guoping will not be great.
Therefore, Lin Guoping, who was on a mission with Gu Yanting, will be moved to a position that has not been moved for several years because he completed the mission excellently. He will be able to be demoted after the New Year with the appointment letter.
Seeing that Father Gu was unhappy, Father Zhang looked embarrassed and continued to compliment him:
"That's right, that's right, Yan Ting just got promoted, it's not easy to get promoted again!"
"However, Yan Ting has been performing well. He will definitely be promoted in the next three years. I can guarantee that!"
Father Gu was annoyed and disdained Father Zhang's flattering behavior!
However, it was New Year's Day and the person being praised was his son, so it would not look good to give him the cold shoulder!
Father Gu said in a neither soft nor hard tone:
"This is his own business. My family and I will not help him. Everything depends on his own ability!"
"If he has the ability, he will be promoted. If he doesn't have the ability, it may not be a bad thing for him to stay in his current position or be demoted!"
What Father Gu was talking about was Father Zhang's matter. Although Father Zhang did not get demoted this year, he had already been transferred to the logistics and pension department, so these words made Father Zhang feel a little embarrassed.
But for Zhang Yueying's sake, or for his future, Zhang's father pretended not to understand and said:
"That's right, that's right, it's better for young people to be stable, it's better to be stable!"
"Speaking of stability, time has really passed in a flash. Yan Ting is already 24 years old, and my Yue Ying is 22 years old this year!"
"Both children are grown up now. With our relationship and the two children being a perfect match, I think we should take advantage of Yan Ting's finally taking a vacation and take care of the two children's affairs as parents!"
As soon as Zhang's father finished speaking, the second son of the Nian family, who was sitting next to him and had a good relationship with him, followed Zhang's father's words and said:
"Oh, Lao Gu, you and Lao Zhang are going to get married? Is this a good thing? Set a date, and our whole family will come to share in the joy!"
"Speaking of Yan Ting and Yue Ying, they are truly the best children of this generation, both are so outstanding!"
"Yueying is such a good girl, she's well-behaved and obedient. Yan Ting hasn't been back for a few years, and Yueying has been waiting for him. How wonderful! Old Gu, you guys are so lucky!"
How did they get to this point? Father Gu was not prepared at all, and he was just thinking about how to refuse this.
Gu's mother, who was hiding from Zhang's mother and chatting with Grandpa Gu's other old friends and their daughters-in-law, heard this and snorted coldly:
"Our family is not blessed with this blessing. We Yan Ting already have a girl we like. My future daughter-in-law is beautiful, smart, and motivated!"
"Besides, Yan Ting hasn't been home for several years. How did you see that he and Zhang Yueying have a good relationship?"
The second son of the Nian family has a good relationship with Zhang's father, and was bewitched by him. It was Zhang's father who said that today they would be getting married and asked the second son of the Nian family to help mediate. Then he would be the introducer!
The second son of the Nian family wanted to have a closer relationship with Gu's father, but he never expected that Zhang's father would lie to him.
He was not a man who would stand out to begin with, but after being scolded by Gu's mother, he just shrank aside like a quail!
He backed down. Father Zhang had said this, so how could he take it back? He licked his cheek and said:
"Sister-in-law, that's not what you said. How good was Yan Ting's relationship with Yue Ying before he joined the army?"
"Besides, during the past few years when Yan Ting was not at home, Yue Ying cared more about your family's affairs than our own. Her mother and I often lamented about this. This girl is really outgoing!"
"And Yueying treats the old man like her own grandfather. If there is anything delicious, she would not even eat it herself, but would eagerly send it to the old man!"
After saying this, he winked at the second son of the Nian family, meaning for him to help mediate.
The second son of the Nian family pretended not to see it and continued to hide like a quail.
But Father Zhang would not let him go just like that. He asked directly:
"Second Brother Nian, you saw it all. You praised Yueying in front of me many times!"
The second son of the Nian family was really regretting now, how could he have boarded the pirate ship of Zhang's father, and could only nod awkwardly:
"Yes, yes, that's probably it!"
