It is said that the real economy has been sluggish in recent years, but this is not entirely correct.
GDP has been rising and the real economy has not completely declined, it’s just that the competition is too fierce.
In the past, there were two or three supermarkets at the entrance of a high-rise residential area, but now there are two supermarkets in every building. It is hard to make a living. In addition, the Internet era has lowered the threshold, and everyone wants to get involved.
Taking automobiles as an example, the annual output value is actually increasing rapidly, but many automobile companies have gone bankrupt.
Bai Song was really troubled by the fact that his second uncle was going to invest there. It was really hard to persuade him. Fortunately, he was in a very important position in the family and his words were authoritative. In addition, he brought out a lot of thunder cases, and his second uncle finally woke up.
In other families, the child might also know that his father has fallen into a trap, but he might not be pulled out because the father thinks what his son said is false and that he is the smart one.
Except for the stock market and funds, which are inherently risky, anything that promises a stable annual interest rate of more than 8% is basically a scam. (In 2021, I personally think that anything over 5% is a scam)
…
In order to chat with his second uncle, Bai Song finally had lunch at his second uncle's place at noon and then drove home after lunch.
When Bai Song got home, he suddenly found a lot of high-end gifts at the door. They were not very expensive, but they were several hundred yuan a box. Logically, there were no relatives of this level at home. Could it be that they were gifts?
Bai Song has seen people giving gifts over the years, so he is a little sensitive.
"You're back, come here!" Bai Yulong quickly stood up and greeted his son.
Bai Song then realized that this was not a gift-giving affair, but one by one...
My goodness, they are all Bai Yulong’s leaders...
The director and deputy director of the branch bureau, and the director of the political department of the municipal bureau? Bai Song didn't recognize the rest of them, but they were probably his father's superiors.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, everyone came to pay New Year's greetings to Bai Yulong???
Bai Song's face was full of question marks.
"What are you standing there for? We're going out for dinner tonight, not at home. Go make some tea for me."
…
While Bai Song was making tea, he went to his mother and asked, "What is my dad up to?"
"Him? I don't know what's wrong with him now. He's such a big mouth. When you came back last night, he said in the group that his son was coming back. Look, all of them are here to see you." Zhou Li looked helpless.
"What? Look at me? What's so good about me?" Bai Song didn't understand.
"It's different now. You're in Beijing, and I heard that there will be an inspection team coming after the New Year. These people may be willing to have more contact with you. Who knows? I don't care about your father's affairs. You can't be too ostentatious. We are all elders, so keep a low profile." Bai's mother advised.
"What are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person." Bai Song felt that he shouldn't have come back during the Chinese New Year. It was so tiring...
I guess if I didn't go home for the New Year this year and flew directly to Hangzhou, I wouldn't be so tired. The only difference is that Bai Yulong would break three of my legs.
…
Eh? Thinking of this, Bai Song directly booked a flight for the evening of the third day of the Chinese New Year. He would fly to Hangzhou tomorrow and return to Linyang the day after tomorrow!
Bai Song talked to Xinqiao. Xinqiao's father did not go home for the New Year, and there were not many relatives in their family, so they basically visited all of them on the first and second days of the New Year.
Stay at home for two fewer days. Who knows what weird things your dad can come up with!
But even so, Bai Song still had to get through this hurdle today and put on a grand drama of loving father and filial son, and a happy family...
Bai Yulong spent a lot of money today and found the most upscale restaurant in the county, and ordered lobster, sea cucumber and abalone.
Bai Song could see clearly that the value of this meal was basically equal to the total of the gifts received during the day. Bai Yulong looked carefree, but he was not stupid at all. He didn't want to owe favors to others. Although it was normal to give gifts during the New Year, Bai Yulong didn't want to add a lot of meaningless favors to his son.
The wine is Maotai, which these leaders can only drink at slightly larger occasions. After all, it is not the same as a few years ago. Before 2010, some people dared to say that they could afford to drink it every day.
The leaders were all capable people. When they saw Bai Yulong taking the wine, no one drank too much. In the end, seven or eight people only drank two bottles of wine and then some beer.
To be honest, it's not tiring to communicate with these people. Many people think that chatting with leaders is tiring, which is totally wrong. These people are very smart. If you are his subordinate, you have to figure out his meaning and be careful when chatting with him, but if you are his leader, you will definitely like what he says...
But Bai Yulong was different. On the one hand, he enjoyed the feeling that his son had made great progress. On the other hand, he pretended to be ignorant and ignored any words that he shouldn't respond to.
Although Bai Yulong is no longer a leader, he doesn't need to ask anyone for help.
The word "personality" means that you will have high character without asking for help from others!
But Bai Song was not ignorant, he knew what to say and what not to say. He talked about some of the things he should say, including what he knew about the inspection and his current situation, and basically talked about the food.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
…
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Bai Song called Xinqiao and described in vivid detail what his father had done, which made Xinqiao laugh.
Hearing that Bai Song would come tomorrow, Xin Qiao was naturally delighted and planned to go out to buy groceries and make more delicious food tomorrow morning. This made Bai Song laugh foolishly.
Lying on the bed, Bai Song couldn't help but think that he was living a very happy life...
This is... getting the protagonist's script?
…
Early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Song followed his mother to the mall.
Zhou Li knew that her son would not go empty-handed when he visited his future mother-in-law during the New Year, so she drove to the city with Bai Song, spent half a day shopping in the mall, and bought two sets of clothes.
"After the New Year, it's time for your dad and I to go over there, right?" Zhou Li asked.
"Ah? Are you going there?" Bai Song thought for a moment before he understood what he meant: "Are you going to get engaged?"
"Yes, you two have been dating for quite some time. Xinqiao is in such a good university, there are so many guys chasing after her, and you don't seem to be anxious." Zhou Li said angrily.
"She..." Bai Song said, "I feel very confident about her."
"Then you can't just not pay attention. As a man, you have to be more proactive in this kind of thing. Anyway, hurry up. I think your dad is getting sick from being idle lately. Let him have a grandson to hug as soon as possible so that he can have something to do."
"Mom, don't worry! There's no rush..."
"My child, how can I be at ease with such things? I am most at ease with my own family." Bai's mother began to reason with Bai Song and also gave him a lecture, saying that Bai Song should pay attention to his lifestyle when he is outside. Bai Song was speechless after hearing this.
I swear to God, we in Captain Bai don’t even look at other girls except our girlfriend.
Except for the corpses, of course.
