Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng were watching TV in the living room. When they saw their daughter enter the room, they both felt inexplicable.

Chen Qingrong has always been tough and stern, and said angrily: "You won't come back for a few days, so why do you yell when you come back?"

Xiaojia said loudly, "Why am I yelling? Our family doesn't need this 40,000 yuan, why should we collect Zhu Yanbing's money?"

After taking Zhu Yanbing's money, Zhang Yuanzheng and Chen Qingrong were also uneasy. Later, Chen Qingrong couldn't bear to leave the 40,000 yuan, so the couple found a reason to comfort themselves, so they felt at ease.

This reason is that Zhang Yuanzheng was rehired to Shazhou Agricultural Vehicle Factory, and the 40,000 yuan is the bonus for rehiring.

After hearing this reason, Xiaojia couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My mom and dad, you are too naive. You collected 40,000 yuan. Outsiders think it was collected by Wei Dong, and now you can't explain it clearly no matter what."

"What's wrong with Hou Weidong when we collect money." Chen Qingrong had realized that something was wrong, but she didn't admit it.

Xiaojia said angrily: "Now that Zhu Yanbing has been investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, he said he had given you money to the two of you. The city has already talked to Wei Dong. Isn't it okay?"

Zhang Yuanzheng blushed and twisted his neck and said, "I have done technical work in the factory, and I have taken the lead in doing three and four technical reforms. These technical reforms have helped the factory save at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. Zhu Yanbing gave me bonuses on behalf of the factory. Why can't I take it? This is labor income and it's not illegal. If I really break the law, I will go to jail and have nothing to do with Hou Weidong."

Xiaojia only felt that she couldn't explain it clearly to her parents. She said, "The officialdom is very complicated now. Many people are jealous of the position of Weidong and are looking forward to him making mistakes every day. The bigger his official position, the more careful he is, and he is always worried that he will be caught. Now that you have collected the money, you just put Weidong in a pan and cook it."

Zhang Yuanzheng wanted to continue the debate. Chen Qingrong had already realized the seriousness of the problem, glared at her husband fiercely, and asked: "Does this matter really have such a big impact on Hou Weidong?"

"You don't understand the matter in the officialdom. Anyway, this matter has caused great harm to Wei Dong."

Chen Qingrong said carefully: "What should I do? Do you want to send your dad to prison?"

Xiaojia glanced at her father and said, "It's not going to be sent to prison. My father can't work in the factory anymore, and he can't even ask for 40,000 yuan."

Zhang Yuanzheng worked in the factory all his life and only found dignity after retirement. Now he works in the factory not entirely for money, but more for the recognition he gained at work. Whenever the factory people respectfully shout "Official Zhang", he feels like bathing in the spring breeze.

He shouted: "I returned the money, but I'm free to use my spare heat in the factory."

"Dad, Shazhou Agricultural Vehicle Factory no longer exists, and the factory itself has to lay off people. Besides, Zhu Yanbing is not in the factory. What's the point of staying in the factory?"

Chen Qingrong felt that what Xiaojia said was reasonable, so she made her final decision. She said: "Old man, don't go to work anymore. She is old. Don't you think about your blessings? You have to endure it yourself."

When Xiaojia left home, Zhang Yuanzheng was very depressed. While Chen Qingrong was doing housework, he locked himself in the hut.

He usually didn't drink alcohol. He walked around the hut and found two bottles of Maotai liquor from someone in the corner of the house. He opened the bottle and ate two big mouthfuls. These two mouthfuls looked like three taels of wine. After a while, Zhang Yuanzheng fell drunk in the room.

Chen Qingrong cleaned the kitchen but did not see Zhang Yuanzheng. She pushed the hut away and saw Zhang Yuanzheng lying on the ground. She was startled and quickly helped Zhang Yuanzheng up and asked anxiously: "Old man, what's wrong with you."

At this time, she smelled the smell of alcohol from Zhang Yuanzheng's mouth and immediately said angrily: "The old man thought you were a Taiwanese actor and could get drunk when you encounter something. You are a retired worker at Shazhou Agricultural Vehicle Factory. What a bullshit."

Even though that was the case, Chen Qingrong helped Zhang Yuanzheng onto the bed, called Xiaojia again, and said, "Zhang Xiaojia, come back to me and see what you are doing to your father."

Xiaojia was holding an office meeting of the Garden Management Bureau. After receiving a call from Chen Qingrong, she quickly asked the director Zhang Zhongyuan for leave. Zhang Zhongyuan heard that Xiaojia’s father was sick and said happily: “Go quickly, let the office report the content of today’s meeting.”

She didn't know what disease her father had, so she called Hou Weidong in the car: "I told Zhu Yanbing about it. I just received a call from my mother, saying that her father was sick and didn't know what disease she was. I was rushing home."

"So do I need to come back?"

Xiaojia said: "I'll take a look first. If the disease is really serious, I'll call you again."

Hou Weidong was discussing work with his subordinates and received a call. Although Xiaojia said he didn't have to come back, he quickly ended the conversation and took a car to the crescent building. He quickly walked up the stairs. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xiaojia's loud voice and said, "I'm drunk, you can make it clear on the phone, which makes me worry in vain."

Chen Qingrong also had a loud voice and said, "Your dad is like this. What's wrong with you when you come back?"

"What does my dad look like? He was drunk and none of us let him drink."

"How can you say that to your father like this, and whether you are filial."

Both mother and daughter both had a sharp mouth, and the smell of gunpowder soon became smelly in the room.

Hou Weidong hurried into the door, pulled Xiaojia aside, and whispered: "Xiaojia, can you say less than a few words?" Xiaojia blushed with anger, and whispered: "Dad is drunk, mom deliberately doesn't explain it clearly."

Although Hou Weidong was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yuanzheng and Chen Qingrong's collection of money, they were father-in-law and mother-in-law after all, so he couldn't do anything. When he arrived by the bed, he asked, "Mom, dad is drunk."

Seeing that Hou Weidong came back with him, Chen Qingrong felt a little embarrassed and said, "Your father was unhappy. After drinking too much, you don't have to come back."

Hou Weidong said: "Why did Dad drink?"

"He has worked all his life and is uncomfortable when he is idle. I want to discuss something with you. Since you don't want your father to work in the factory, you might as well buy him two machine tools and he recruits a few workers. Usually, he will work harder as long as he has something to do."

Xiaojia said on the side: "Mom, can you enjoy the peace of mind? What are you thinking about doing this?"

Hou Weidong understood Zhang Yuanzheng, nodded, and said, "Dad has this idea. I don't object. You guys choose a factory and buy machines. I have a suggestion. This is the first time you run a business, and the scale will be smaller first. Then gradually expand."

Chen Qingrong said: "I know, I won't let you worry anymore. This company is for your father to play, and it doesn't ask for money to satisfy your wishes for decades."

When she returned to her own home, Xiaojia apologized: "Honey, our family often causes trouble for you, are you upset?"

Hou Weidong understood this kind of problem tightly. Even if he thought it was causing trouble, he would never admit it, otherwise he would really get into trouble immediately. He said, "You are a family, we are talking about trouble."

Xiaojia was gentle and hugged Hou Weidong and said, "I know you have ideas in your heart, for my sake. Don't take it to your heart."

"I'm not a narrow-minded person either. Things have happened. Complaints are useless. We have to find a way to solve the problem."

"Husband, how much impact will these 40,000 have on you."

"If no one cares about this 40,000 is actually not a matter of interest. If someone cares about this, even if there is no 40,000, other things can be done. So, you think this 40,000 has never happened."

Hou Weidong had already seen the official affairs very clearly at this time. He knew where the key point of this matter was, but he was not as concerned as Xiaojia. After all, he was no longer the enemy of Zhu Minsheng and Ning Yue, but the old ox that added luster to Shazhou. He put in a lot of effort to become the old ox in Zhu Minsheng and Ning Yue's hearts. Being an old ox is also a kind of survival wisdom.

When Zhang Yuanzheng returned the money and returned from the Shazhou Agricultural Vehicle Factory, the 40,000 yuan storm seemed to end without the beginning.

In April, the Party School of Lingxi Provincial Party Committee held the first municipal and department-level training class. The training lasted for half a year, starting from April to ending in October. Hou Weidong, deputy mayor of Shazhou City, is a student of this municipal and department-level training class.

At this time, the first batch of restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Shazhou was basically over, and the new teaching building in the southern new district of Shazhou University was progressing smoothly. The only highlight was that the matter of ly electronic components was under discussion.

Ning Yue heard the news and immediately found Zhu Minsheng.

"Secretary Zhu, Hou Weidong is in charge of state-owned enterprises and is in charge of the Southern New District. He is now entering a critical period of negotiations with ly electronic components. He goes to the Provincial Party School to study, which may affect this major event." Ning Yue said while shook her short hair.

As the acting mayor, Ning Yue's style is tough, and she always wants Zhu Minsheng to be straightforward and tell the truth.

Zhu Minsheng patiently explained: "This is a notice issued directly by the provincial party committee and has not been passed by the municipal party committee."

Ning Yue said: "Now the negotiations have entered a critical period, and Hou Weidong is shouldering the important task. Secretary Zhu is from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Can he do some work and let Hou Weidong participate in the next period?"

"As far as I know, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department attaches great importance to this municipal and department-level training class. There are all purposes to enter this class. Can you enter the training class? First, see the attitude of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and second, see what Hou Weidong has. Mayor Ning, what do you think?"

Ning Yue was hit by a nail that was neither soft nor hard. She cared too much about ly electronic components project and would never allow such a project to fail. However, she was also clearly aware that in terms of actual work experience, she was not as good as Hou Weidong. Having Hou Weidong participated in the negotiations of the entire project will be conducive to the promotion of the entire project.

Therefore, Ning Yue still used the resources in her hands to go to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to inquire about the situation. The people from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department clearly stated that the list of participating in the municipal and department-level classes this time was decided by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department had no right to transfer people.

On the eve of Hou Weidong's study, Ning Yue had a conversation with Hou Weidong.

Ning Yue said in a regretful tone: "Mayor Weidong, I really don't want you to study now. Do you know the importance of ly electronic components to Shazhou City. During your study, which deputy mayor will come to preside over the negotiations?"

Hou Weidong knew that Ning Yue was sincerely keeping him and expressed his gratitude, saying, "It is a lucky thing to be able to participate in the negotiation of ly electronic components. It is just that the provincial party committee's documents came down. I couldn't help but go. I suggest that Mayor Ma will preside over the negotiation work. The reason is very simple. Mayor Ma presided over Guo Yiyang's comprehensive work and rich experience, and is the most suitable candidate."

This idea coincided with Ning Yue. She expressed deep regret once again and said: "Wei Dong will definitely be promoted after participating in the training and will not return to Shazhou. This is the most regrettable thing."
