Chapter 421 Deng Yunzhu: Do you know what level my second brother is?

I'm so pissed off. I took off my pants to fart. After it was reviewed, the author revised it immediately. As a result, while he was revising it, he didn't know when it was released. After saving the revision, it was put in again. Ahhhh...

…

Nanning.

Ruyi Tower.

The Zhou and Deng families gathered here to drink tea and discuss the marriages of their children.

To show their respect, Zhou's father and mother brought Zhou Haidong with them, and from the Deng family, it was naturally Deng Shirong and his daughter who came.

After some pleasantries, both sides got down to business.

Old Zhou took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, my Haidong and Ah Zhu have been together for a while. They are both at the right age to get married. We came here this time to talk to you about setting a wedding date for them. I wonder if you have any requirements for the bride price?"

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "Just follow the usual etiquette for the betrothal gift. I don't have any requirements. As for the wedding date, Lao Zhou, have you consulted a master to choose an auspicious date?"

Old Man Zhou nodded and said, "We've chosen one. October 12th of the lunar calendar is a very suitable auspicious day."

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "This time is quite suitable, let's set it on this day!"

After seeing that their wedding date was set with just a few simple words from the parents of both sides, Zhou Haidong and Deng Yunzhu looked at each other with a hint of joy on their faces.

After all, both parties are indeed not young anymore.

Even Deng Yunzhu is already 25 years old this year, which can be considered an old girl for a rural girl of this generation.

Old Man Zhou said cheerfully, "Then when I get back, I will start planning a wedding for them. What should we do with this wedding? Uncle Jiu, do you have any ideas?"

Deng Shirong said: "Just follow the customs of your place. If you want to hold it at home, then hold it at home. If you want to hold it in a restaurant, then just hold it in a hot pot restaurant. Anyway, this is also their business."

Old Man Zhou said, "Let's go back to the village. Children in our village usually hold their weddings in the village, so we can't make any special arrangements."

Deng Shirong said: "Since there is such a custom, then go back to the village and do it. I have no objection."

Old Man Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, we will do our best to make the wedding a success and let Ah Zhu marry into our Zhou family with honor."

Hearing the words "glorious", Deng Yunzhu couldn't help but glance at Zhou Haidong.

That look was half a smile, which made Zhou Haidong feel uneasy, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Deng Yunzhu's eyes.

After discussing the business, the three members of the Zhou family did not stay in Nanning for long and went to the station to take a bus back to Guangzhou.

Deng Shirong and his daughter naturally had to see them off.

After arriving at the station, while waiting for the bus, Zhou Haidong pulled Deng Yunzhu to a corner and whispered to her.

"Azhu, just now my dad said that he would arrange a grand wedding for us and let you marry into our Zhou family with great fanfare. You looked at me strangely at that time. Did my dad say something wrong?" Zhou Haidong couldn't help but ask.

Deng Yunzhu sighed and said, "Haidong, I know Uncle Zhou wants to give us a wedding that will be praised by everyone, but if I want to marry into your Zhou family in a grand manner, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!"

Zhou Haidong asked: "Azhu, what do you mean?"

Deng Yunzhu looked at him again with a half-smile in her eyes, and asked instead, "Do you know how big the wedding was when my second brother married my second sister-in-law?"

Zhou Haidong finally realized something after hearing this, and asked apprehensively, "Azhu, how big was your second brother and sister-in-law's wedding?"

Deng Yunzhu briefly introduced: "First, my second brother and his wife's clothing and styling were all designed by professional stylists from Guangzhou; secondly, ten Santana sedans and ten buses were used to pick up the bride.

Also, the wedding was held in my hometown. A welcome arch was set up more than a kilometer away from home. Both sides of this short road of more than a kilometer were filled with colorful balloons and countless "囍" characters.

At the same time, a camera team will be responsible for taking photos throughout the process.

As for the food at the wedding, it goes without saying that they were all prepared by professional chefs. Not only were they sumptuous but they also tasted amazing.

This kind of wedding is truly magnificent.”

Zhou Haidong broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. If Deng Yunzhu hadn't said anything, then the glory that their Zhou family thought was not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, and would only add to the jokes. He reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Zhu, I will discuss this with my parents later. We don't ask for our wedding to be as grand as your second brother and his wife's, but at least it can't be much worse than your second brother and his wife's wedding."

Deng Yunzhu shook her head and smiled, "Forget it. Just follow your standards. There's no need to compare with my second brother and his wife. After all, both my second brother and his wife are of extraordinary status and cannot be compared with the two of us."

Hearing this, Zhou Haidong was a little unconvinced. He said, "Azhu, you are exaggerating. After all, I am a section-level cadre, on the same level as the secretary or mayor of a township. And you are the owner of several hot pot restaurants and a millionaire. With such a combination, you can't compare with your second brother and his wife?"

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Don't be unconvinced. Our team is far inferior to my second brother and his wife. I know you are very proud of your academic qualifications, but do you know what my second brother and his wife's academic qualifications are?"

Zhou Haidong asked: "What is your education?"

Deng Yunzhu said: "My second brother graduated from Peking University. Although my second sister-in-law is a little behind, she also graduated from a key university like you. In terms of academic qualifications alone, she is much better than us."

Zhou Haidong gasped when he heard this. He had been dating Deng Yunzhu for such a long time before he knew that she not only had a younger brother who was admitted to a key university like Zhongshan University of Medical Sciences, but also had a second brother who was admitted to Peking University. Wasn't his girlfriend too secretive? If it were any other girl, she would have boasted about her second brother's academic qualifications in front of him.

While Zhou Haidong was shocked, Deng Yunzhu continued, "Speaking of work, do you think you are so great as a section-level cadre? When my second brother started working, he was a section-level cadre. Do you know what level he is now?"

Zhou Haidong asked fearfully: "What level?"

Deng Yunzhu gently uttered two words: "Deputy Director."

Zhou Haidong's pupils suddenly dilated, and he said in a lost voice: "Deputy Director, how is this possible?"

Deng Yunzhu tugged at his clothes and reminded him, "Keep your voice down."

Zhou Haidong then lowered his voice and said in disbelief: "Azhu, are you kidding me? I remember that your second brother is only two years older than you. He is only 27 years old this year. How could he become a deputy director? Even if he graduated from Peking University, he can't do it!"

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for my second brother to be promoted to deputy director so quickly, but who can blame him for being lucky? I will tell you the details later. Anyway, you just need to know that my second brother is now at the level of deputy director."

At this point, Deng Yunzhu looked at Zhou Haidong and said with a smile: "Haidong, if you dare to bully me or disobey my command in the future, I will tell my second brother to deal with you. Then I will see if you are afraid or not."

Zhou Haidong covered his chest and said, "Let me take it easy. The news you told me is really shocking."

I originally thought that my boyfriend’s family was just rich, but their influence was far from comparable to that of our Zhou family.

After all, their family are all on the government payroll, and although their ranks are not high, as the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and when they are combined they do have considerable influence, which is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even though he knew before that his partner had a net worth of millions, he was confident that he was worthy of her.

But he never expected that his second uncle was also a member of the system, and his rank had reached a level that he couldn't believe. As a member of the system, Zhou Haidong naturally understood how awesome this rank was. You know, his father had struggled for decades, and was only at the deputy director level before retirement.

Deng Yunzhu smiled and continued, "Let's talk about my second sister-in-law. Although she has not participated in the work, her family background is very powerful. My second brother was promoted to deputy director so quickly, and his father-in-law also contributed a lot. I will tell you about these slowly later. Do you still think our combination can compare with my second brother and second sister-in-law?"

Zhou Haidong shook his head repeatedly when he heard this. This was nothing. His second uncle alone could kill the whole team in seconds.

He smiled bitterly, then remembered something and asked quickly: "Azhu, what do your other brothers and sisters do? Tell me everything. Don't let another deputy director suddenly appear. My heart can't bear it."

"Do you think the deputy director is a cabbage?"

Deng Yunzhu rolled her eyes at him, but since the wedding date had already been set, she should give him some details, so she said, "My eldest brother and his wife run a chain of supermarkets. Their business is bigger than mine, and they make more money than me. My sister runs the largest restaurant in our county, and my brother-in-law is currently the full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee."

Hearing this, Zhou Haidong took another breath. It was easy to accept that his girlfriend's older brother and sister-in-law had a bigger business than hers. After all, he knew before that his girlfriend's family was better off.

But what no one expected was that just after it was revealed that the second brother-in-law had reached the level of deputy director, it turned out that his brother-in-law was a full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee. He was not only a deputy division-level cadre, but also a quasi-division-level cadre who had one foot in the threshold of being a division-level cadre. This was also a big shot that could not be ignored!

While Zhou Haidong was in shock, Deng Yunzhu continued, "My third brother graduated from Tsinghua University and currently works in the Ministry of Finance. He is at the same level as you."

Hearing this, Zhou Haidong felt numb all over!

At this moment, he suddenly started to worry about himself. If he did something wrong after marriage and offended his wife, and she got angry and really called her brothers from her mother's side, he would be in great trouble.

After Deng Yunzhu introduced the situation of her brothers and sisters, Zhou Haidong said with a shocked face: "Azhu, you hid it too well."

Deng Yunzhu glanced at him and said, "You haven't asked me this before. Am I going to come to you and say that my second brother's rank is deputy director for no reason?"

"That's true. I was negligent and didn't ask clearly."

"You, if you can marry me in this life, just be happy!"

Zhou Haidong agreed with this statement 100%. Being able to marry such a rich and powerful woman would really make his Zhou family’s ancestors proud.

…

By the time the Zhou family of three returned to their home in Guangzhou, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

After entering the door, Zhou Haidong, who had been holding back all the way, said, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."

Both Zhou's father and mother are retired people, and they are still very tired after sitting on the bus for such a long time.

After all, long-distance buses of this era were all for sitting, and although long-distance double-decker sleeper buses with sleeping berths were already under development, it would take some time for them to be popularized, and then the sales peak would be reached between 1996 and 1998.

When they got home, they sat on the sofa in the living room to rest.

Hearing what the fourth child said, Zhou's mother asked, "What's the matter?"

Just as Zhou Haidong was about to speak, the door next to him creaked open, and Zhou Hailu, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, walked out of the room with sleepy eyes. She yawned with her hands covering her mouth before greeting, "Dad, Mom, Fourth Brother, you're back!"

Zhou's mother asked, "Did I wake you up?"

Zhou Hailu said: "It's okay, I just came out to drink some water because I was thirsty."

Father Zhou looked at his son and said, "Haidong, it's getting late. Tell me what you want to say."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhou Haidong said with emotion: "Today, Ah Zhu and I have set the wedding date. She just told me the truth, and I know how powerful her brothers and sisters are. It can be said that my Zhou family is so lucky to be able to marry her."

Before Zhou's father and mother spoke, Zhou Hailu, who was pouring water from a cup, couldn't help but say, "Fourth brother, you are exaggerating. Although my future fourth sister-in-law is indeed excellent, she is already a millionaire at such a young age.

I believe her brothers and sisters are not bad either, but we brothers and sisters are not bad either, we all eat the government's food.

Moreover, you, Fourth Brother, graduated from a key university, so you are already a section-level cadre at such a young age. In another ten or eight years, you may even reach the level of Dad. I can’t say that you are more than qualified to be the future Fourth Sister-in-law, but it’s not to the extent that if you can marry the future Fourth Sister-in-law, it will be a great honor for our Zhou family’s ancestors, right?”

After hearing this, Zhou's father and mother nodded in agreement. Although their Zhou family was not very powerful, compared with businessmen, their influence was still quite impressive.

“That’s what I thought originally.”

Zhou Haidong smiled bitterly: "But only today did I realize that the power of our Zhou family is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others. Her third brother graduated from Tsinghua University and currently works in the Ministry of Finance in Beijing with a rank of section chief.

Her brother-in-law is currently the full-time deputy secretary of their county, at the deputy division level.

Her second brother graduated from Peking University and is currently a deputy director.

Now, do you still think that our Zhou family's power can compare with others?"

Zhou's father and mother were stunned when they heard this, and Zhou Hailu's sleepiness disappeared instantly.

They are all people working in the system and fully understand the meaning of the saying "a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death."

You should know that the level division of our country's political arena, based on the cultivation realm in novels, is only divided into five major realms.

From small to large, they were at the science realm, situation realm, department realm, ministry realm and the highest national realm. Deng Yunzhu's second brother was actually promoted to the department realm. This level is considered a backbone force in the whole country. Although their Zhou family also had strong people at the situation realm, they have all retired.

Even if he didn't retreat, his situation was vastly different from that of the hall.

Nowadays, the highest level of people in their Zhou family is only at the Science level, which is several levels away from the Hall level.

If all this is true, then the power of their Zhou family is indeed not worth mentioning in front of others.

After being shocked, Zhou's father said with emotion: "I have known Uncle Jiu for such a long time. His children are so promising, but he has kept it a secret. He is really too low-key."

Zhou's mother agreed, "Yes, they are really too low-key. If anyone else had such promising children, they would want to let the whole world know about it."

Zhou Hailu said excitedly: "Fourth brother, you are so lucky!"

Zhou Haidong smiled, and then told his parents about his second uncle's wedding again. Finally, he said, "Dad, Mom, you have to make my wedding with Ah Zhu decent. I don't want to make it as good as my second uncle's, but it can't be too different. It would be bad if it gives people the feeling that you don't value me."

Zhou's father and mother nodded repeatedly after hearing this. They had originally planned to organize the wedding for the fourth son. Now that they knew the power of the future in-laws, they would of course do their best to organize the wedding.

Father Zhou said immediately: "I will call your eldest sister, second brother, and third sister tomorrow. The whole family will gather this Sunday to discuss this matter. When the whole family comes together, I believe we can still borrow a few cars as wedding cars."

Zhou Hailu also actively participated and said: "I have a colleague who has a car at home. I will ask him when I go to work tomorrow to see if I can borrow it as a wedding car."

Zhou's mother said, "One of my older sisters has a car at home, so it should be no problem to borrow it as a wedding car."

Father Zhou said, "My old face is still useful. It shouldn't be difficult to borrow one or two cars."

Hearing that his family members took this wedding seriously, Zhou Haidong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that as long as the Zhou family worked together, they would be able to hold this wedding successfully.

…

afternoon.

Naye Village.

While eating, looking at his eldest niece and nephew-in-law who had been working diligently for him for so many years, Deng Shirong felt that he needed to arrange a way out for them, so he said, "Dafang, you have worked for your uncle for so many years, it's time to make some plans for yourself."

Bu Dafang smiled and said, "Uncle, do you want us to go out and do business again? Ah Hu and I are not suitable for doing business. So we can just help you take care of the orchard. It's good to live in the countryside."

Jiang Dehu also smiled innocently and said, "Uncle, Dafang is right. We two are not cut out for business. It would be more suitable for us to do farm work in the countryside."

Deng Shirong swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled, "I know you don't want to do business outside, but you don't have to go out to do business, and not all businesses are so complicated. There are also some businesses that can make money simply."

Bu Dafang was surprised and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Deng Shirong said: "Next, I plan to build a large hospital in the village, and later turn our place into a tourist attraction. If it becomes famous, it will definitely attract patients from nearby areas to come for treatment, and it will also attract tourists from all over the country to come and play.

By then, the families of these patients and travelers from afar will definitely need to find a place to eat and stay, so you two can prepare in advance. It would be best to open a hotel that can provide both accommodation and meals. If you find it troublesome, you can also set up a hotel that only provides accommodation.

This way, you can easily make money.”

Deng Shirong had long had the idea of ​​building a large hospital in the village.

After he was reborn and became the head of the tribe, he had always wanted to change their poor and backward place. It was not enough to just have money, but all kinds of supporting facilities had to be built as well.

The biggest gap between rural areas and cities is the lack of medical care and education. If we want to completely change this poor and backward place, these two things are absolutely indispensable.

The problem of education is easy to solve. For example, the teaching staff of Naye Primary School is already among the best in the county, and this ranking will continue to rise as time goes by.

At present, the teaching staff of Shuangwang Junior High School is not ranked among the best in the county, but as long as it is given more time, it will be among the top few sooner or later.

After all, in the previous life, Deng Shirong had not intervened, and Shuangwang Junior High School's grades were among the top three in the county, attracting students from several nearby towns and villages to study there. And in this life, it goes without saying that it was certain to be ranked in the top three.

The only thing left is medical care. The investment in building a large hospital is not a small amount, so Deng Shirong never mentioned this matter before.

But now, Naye Deng's is no longer short of money. The annual income of Deng's Group has reached a very astonishing figure. Investing in a hospital, as long as it is not an exaggerated large hospital that is nationally renowned, will not be too much pressure for Naye Deng's.

In later generations, Bobai County People's Hospital was successfully upgraded to become a Grade 3A hospital, but in that era, Bobai did not have a Grade 3A hospital.

Deng Shirong was hesitating whether to build a tertiary hospital. If it was just an ordinary county-level hospital, the cost should not be too high, but if it was a tertiary hospital, the investment would be quite a lot.

Deng Shirong thought about it and finally rejected this idea. It’s not that the Deng Group couldn’t afford the money, but it was mainly because there was really no need to build a tertiary hospital in the rural area at this time. Building a county-level hospital would be more than enough.

As for future development, we will talk about it later. Anyway, we can reserve a good location for the hospital, and then expand and upgrade it if it is really necessary.

Bu Dafang couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard this. She didn't want to do business outside, but if she could do business in the village, and it was such a simple business, then she would definitely be interested. She said, "Uncle, I'm quite interested in what you said. So when do you think it would be a good time to open this hotel?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. We'll have to wait until the hospital is built before we can get customers. I'm telling you this just to prepare you mentally."

Bu Dafang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
