Chapter 102 Birthday Banquet
The Zhang family is extremely lively today. When Zhang Qingyun entered the house, there was already a room full of people. Ai Jia's family, Bian Huihuang and Chen Mai were all there. Ai Jia's little girl also helped her mother work in the kitchen with her sister-in-law.
"Oh, my cousin is back? What birthday gift have you prepared for my uncle?" Ai Jia smiled.
"Hello, cousin!" Bian Hua said respectfully. Chen Yunshan, Chen Mai, and Bian Huihuang also hurried over to say hello, and the few people couldn't help but greet him.
Zhang Qingyun handed the gift box to Ai Jia, took off her coat, and said to Chen Mai with a smile:
"How is it? Everything goes well in the city bureau? Why are you free to come to Yongping today!"
"Isn't Zhang's birthday today? I have to come and see the old man. Also, I'm not as idle as in Yongping in the Municipal Bureau Office. I'm very idle, so I'm here now." Chen Mai smiled.
"You kid, don't behave like you. If you want to go back to Yongping Secret, you will have a try. You will even carry my dad out to suppress others!" Zhang Qingyun teased, but he was very happy in his heart. The relationship between the Chen and Zhang families has not eased like it is now for a long time.
"Wow! Cousin, you are so romantic. You are also giving calligraphy and paintings to your uncle. What a guy. I'm a long time ago!" Ai Jia exclaimed from the side. He had already opened Li Gang's gift box, took out a scroll from the inside and slowly unfolded it. A pair of ink paintings of Yongsong came into everyone's eyes.
When everyone leaned over, they realized that the meaning of the painting was Shoubi Nanshan Mountain. On the towering green mountains, a thousand-year-old pine stood proudly. There were two or three thatched huts beside the pine trees. An old man with a young face and a crane-haired hair was playing chess alone in the hut, which was very vivid and vivid.
Zhang Qingyun glanced at the seal of the signature, looked carefully, and his face changed. This painting was written by Wen Dezhong. It was an extremely heavy gift!
"Qingyun, this... this... cannot be the original work!" Chen Mai said in surprise, obviously he also saw the signature.
Zhang Qingyun's expression was a little complicated and shook his head: "This is a gift from County Mayor Li to his father. It's a bit too expensive. I didn't know in advance!"
"County Magistrate Li?" Everyone in the room was surprised. Zhang Denian and Yin Su'e were even more excited. After a long time, Zhang Denian said, "This... this... Qingyun! Isn't this suitable? He is the head of a county, how can he celebrate his birthday to me, the old man? Besides, this painting is the original work of Master Wen Dezhong!"
Zhang Qingyun smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying, "I have taken it back, can I still return it? Just pretend that I owe County Mayor Li a favor!"
"Jia Jia, put away the painting quickly and keep it for your uncle. Such a precious thing is very bad." Yin Sumei, who was standing beside her, said, everyone nodded repeatedly, and Bian Huihuang even stepped forward and carefully helped Ai Jia to make the painting, looking very nervous and terrified.
Zhang Qingyun sighed in his heart. It seems that no matter how many years have passed, human nature has never changed from ancient times to the present. He is always full of awe for the superiors! The gifts of the superiors are always enchanted by the people, and they can even use them as capital to show off to others.
After the scroll was rolled up, Zhang Denian sent the painting to the study with excitement, and then Zhang Qingyun said:
"Xiao Ai, go and clean up the balcony and put on the table and chairs. Uncle Chen, Uncle Bian and uncle and I went there to sit there. The weather is so good today and the scenery is beautiful!"
Ai Jia nodded and looked at Zhang Qingyun with admiration. My cousin is really amazing. When the uncle celebrates his birthday, the county magistrate personally gives gifts. How much face does it take!
"Qingyun! County Magistrate Li is very caring for you. I guess you will move up again in a short while." Chen Yunshan smiled.
Zhang Qingyun smiled embarrassedly, but it was hard to answer. He asked everyone to sit on the balcony. Although there was a hint of coolness on the autumn night, the sky was particularly bright. It was dusk, and the sky was full of red clouds, and the crescent moon had already come out, which complemented the sunset, which was a unique flavor.
"Uncle Bian, it's time for a good harvest of oranges now? How is the factory's benefits this year?" After several people sat down, Zhang Qingyun smiled at Bian Huihuang.
"It's still true. The process of orange processing always has more hair and less meat, and it's a fixed method every year!" Bian Huihuang said respectfully, looking a little restrained. In his eyes, he didn't dare to regard Zhang Qingyun as a junior.
Just kidding, the county party committee leader and father's birthday all gave him great gifts, and the director of the Public Security Bureau came to his house to be the birthday party, so how could he take it lightly?
Zhang Qingyun shook his head secretly. He knew Bian Huihuang's psychology, but he couldn't say anything, for fear that the more he talked about, the more he became more restrained, and it would be unbeautiful.
"Come on, come on, Uncle Bian, Uncle Chen, let's use tea instead of wine. Let's taste tea first, and eat for a while!" Zhang Qingyun pulled the topic away.
"Qingyun! I heard that Secretary Zhang's illness has not improved and he is preparing to go abroad for treatment. Do you know this?" Chen Yunshan said.
Zhang Qingyun's heart moved. Zhang Huajie, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, went abroad for treatment. Wouldn't he have to retire early? Is Chen Yunshan worried that Liu Qing would take over his position?
"Oh? When will it happen? When will Secretary Zhang go abroad?" Zhang Qingyun frowned.
Chen Yunshan shook his head: "I don't know either, I just heard of it. Judging from his current situation, it's about the end of the year! After he leaves, Director Liu from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee will probably take over his job, and you may have to move at that time."
Zhang Qingyun remained silent. Now he understood what Chen Yunshan meant. Liu Qing became the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, but the county party committee office had no director. According to the rules, the director of the county party committee office was always highly qualified, and generally the standing committee member was on the same position. He did not have enough qualifications and jumped from a deputy section to a deputy office. That was only a matter of life.
With a new director in the county party committee office, the deputy director who is in charge of daily work may be in a very embarrassing position. Instead of doing this, it is better to do a full-time position.
"Qingyun, my personal opinion. During this period, you can pay more attention to the personnel and affairs trends of the county. You are also good at being a secretary below. The township chief is also good. You have worked at the grassroots level and have experience. If you have this meaning, your leader will definitely give you this opportunity. If it is too late, it may be a little bad." Chen Yunshan continued to say when he saw that Zhang Qingyun didn't say anything.
Zhang Qingyun nodded. As Chen Yunshan said, if you want to move, you must move early. When Liu Qing leaves, he will ask for action again. Others will definitely have other opinions. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration. When he recalled the conversation between Li Gang and himself in the afternoon, he said he envied Wang Huahua. He said "had a chance". Could it be that he already had this meaning?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Qingyun's heart was pounding. He keenly felt that the big men in the county might be using Secretary Zhang's overseas treatment to make a fuss. Zhang Huajie's departure would inevitably involve a series of personnel changes. Who wouldn't want to share some benefits from it?
