No matter how high the status of everyone is outside, sitting around the dining table at home, the most concerned thing about the trivial matters of family matters.

When Song Tong heard that Chen Huai and her blind date partner had met her mother in Cui's early family, the old man was also energetic and asked Chen Huai: "How is it, Liu Xuemei sees you are still satisfied?"

"Dad, you really, which parent can be the master of children now? Liu Xuemei was satisfied with Chen Huai. What's the use? In the end, she can't see her daughter Cheng Yi's intention?" Song Wenhui said with a smile, "Besides, just meet each other, you are so formal, but you don't dare to see each other without seeing them... "

"You have a lot of things to do. You should be too familiar with Cheng Wenguang's daughter and Hongyi. You are too familiar with him and don't feel it. Chen Huai and Cheng Wenguang's daughter have never met, so you should feel it? You said that the pressure is too high and you can't make a decision - you can tell me, we were all arranged by the organization back then, which one of us was not happy and happy in marriage?" The old man was obviously very dissatisfied with the current situation of the younger generation's marriage, and nagged about the beautiful past of organizing and arranging marriages before. When it came to an end, he pointed the finger at Song Hongjun, "If you don't bring someone back next year, don't come back."

"What's wrong with me again? You can't do feudal arranged marriages?" Song Hongjun shouted.

"You are more worry-free than the other ones," said Song Ying. "The feudal arranged marriage should be restored. This is called freedom and the other is called independence. The central government also said that liberalism is the most undesirable!"

Chen Huai sat aside, listening to their nonsense, thinking about not having the power to entangle and small actions behind it. There were so many people in the big family, and even more people were sitting together, having a lively New Year's Eve dinner, which was quite warm. A TV was temporarily brought in the restaurant to play the Spring Festival Gala, and watching the Gala while eating, chatting, which was also very good.

Chen Huai always had no expectations for this marriage, but his sister-in-law was so enthusiastic that she could only deal with it with her head. Even if she picked the rest, there would be no shame.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Cheng Yuanjian, the old man who was married, was the old man's guard at the earliest. Later, he entered Yan'an Anti-Japanese University to study. He served as a political cadre for many years. Before liberation, he served as a division-level commander. He also participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. He was awarded the title of major general in 1955. Unfortunately, he died of illness in 1984 when he was only 60 years old.

Cheng Wen is his only son, and he is less than 50 years old now. He is an alternate member of the Central Committee. He can be said to be a newcomer in politics and one of the core figures of the Song Dynasty.

As the older generation who made achievements when they were founding and held a long-term leadership position in the party and government after liberation, although the old man Song Hua and some other elderly people retired, their reputation and influence were naturally comparable to those party and government officials who were promoted after liberation. However, when it comes to officials who are currently active in the political arena of the Song clan, the State Councilor He Xianghuai has the highest status.

Including Chen Huai's second uncle Song Qiaosheng and Minister of Electricity Dai Chengguo, he is now only one of the 193 Central Committee members.

As for domestic politics, there are less than 360 members of the Central Committee and Hou Bu members in total - these 360 ​​talents truly form the top-level structure of the domestic power pyramid.

Looking around the country, there are still quite a lot of people in No. 360, but in a province, there are usually only two Central Committee members and two alternate members of the Central Committee.

As the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, although Su Weijun is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he is not likely to join the Central Committee in terms of connections, qualifications, age and reputation. Tan Qiping was only fifty years old at this time, and when he was in a strong position in the country, he had good qualifications and connections. It is entirely possible that he would win a seat among 400 people before retirement.

This is also the main reason why the Song Dynasty currently attaches importance to Tan Qiping - whether the Song Dynasty's status in China has risen or declined. After all, it depends on how many seats it can win from 360 people.

Only by becoming one of the 360 ​​people or having the hope of winning a place among the 360 ​​people can one be called the core of a faction.

In comparison, the development of junior figures like Chen Huai and others can only be said to be freeing water to raise fish; if it develops well, it will be able to get more support, but it is far from being able to give priority to factional resources.

Cheng Wenguang was a member of the Central Committee at this time, and the more important thing was that he was less than fifty years old. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be a member of the Central Committee and served as an important position in the Party, Government, Provincial and Ministry.

Chen Huai also knew that Cheng Wenguang's potential for his political future was not even inferior to his second uncle Song Qiaosheng, and that his father Song Bingsheng was not comparable to that of his father. For him, this marriage could be said to be a high-level one, and it is not a big mistake that he did not expect it at the beginning.

He also knew in his heart that as long as he and Cheng Wenguang's daughter could get married, it would mean that his status within the Song Dynasty could be completely restored to normal, and he could even obtain development resources that were no less than Song Hongqi, so he would not have to worry that Tan Qiping would continue to suppress him in Donghua.

Chen Huai could understand his sister-in-law's good intentions, but that's why he didn't expect anything.

Song Qiaosheng held the wine glass in his hand, looked at Chen Huai, and said, "Cheng Wenguang's daughter is a good girl. If both parties can meet, you should also seize the opportunity and calm down..."

"Well, I know." Chen Huai nodded honestly. His second uncle, Song Qiaosheng, is now the pillar of the Song family. He spoke a little, and he could only obediently obediently.

Chen Huai could also understand his second uncle's thoughts. If Song Hongyi and Cheng Yi could succeed, such good things would never fall on him. However, Song Hongyi had already rejected them first. His second uncle would naturally hope that he or other Song family members and Cheng's girls could achieve good things. Even if he had little hope for him, he would not mind sending him to try.

Not to mention the status of the old man Song Hua in the party, the second generation of the Song family also held senior positions at the department level or above. Even in the third generation, those who participated in business, represented by Song Hongshang, had already accumulated a huge amount of billions of dollars, and their careers were as high as the top; those who participated in politics were represented by Song Hongqi, who had just been promoted to a full-time position within the ministries and commissions. Chen Huai was a deputy department-level official at a young age, and it could also be said that he was young and promising - the entire Song family was also considered to be at its peak in China.

However, in the context of China with a population of 1.2 billion, if the Song family cannot effectively unite more external forces, relying solely on the direct descendants of the Song family, the power will appear particularly weak and far from maintaining its current status.

The reason why the Song clan has become an important factional force that affects the development of the political situation in China is that in addition to the reputation and influence of the old man Song Hua, after all, it is related to the Song clan, and there are as many as seven officials in the party with an alternate member of the Central Committee or above. Including ordinary vice-provincial and ministerial levels, there are as many as twenty-one. These are the backbone and core forces supporting the political status of the Song clan.

As the core figure of the second generation of the Song Dynasty, Song Qiaosheng failed to compete with Tian Jiageng for the secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee, and his political future became unclear, which affected the cohesion within the Song Dynasty, resulting in an overall decline. If the Song family's children could marry Cheng Wenguang's daughter, it would be a matter that could significantly strengthen the cohesion within the Song Dynasty.

At present, there are no other suitable candidates in the Song family except Chen Huai. For the overall interests of the Song clan and in order to maintain the status of the Song clan, Song Qiaosheng could only bite the bullet and promote this matter first.

Chen Huai also smiled bitterly. The Song family's method of maintaining cohesion within the faction is still on political marriage. He knew that this method was not very clever, but he had to admit that this method had some direct and obvious effects.

As the only suitable candidate for the Song family, Chen Huai smiled bitterly in his heart because of this factor.

If he had a "inappropriate" response after meeting Cheng Wenguang's daughter in two days, would his status in the Song family be directly brought back to his original form?

If Cheng Wenguang's daughter was satisfied with him and he was not satisfied with Cheng Wenguang's daughter, would it be considered ungrateful?

However, Sun Yalin could understand the bitterness in Chen Huai's heart. She didn't forget to turn her head and sprinkle salt on his wounds: "No matter how much Cheng Yi looks like, for Mei Gang, you will be silly and have to have two years of love with her. You are pretty good."

Chen Huai smiled bitterly, took the wine bottle and poured wine into Sun Yalin's cup, and smiled at others: "Yalin wants to drink, but she is embarrassed to pour it..." It attracted Song Hongjun and the others to respect Sun Yalin's wine.

"Tan Qiping came to Yanjing twice and visited the old man. They all talked about you and Meigang. Meigang's current development is not only a little radical and risky, but also deserves recognition," Song Qiaosheng's topic did not change, but looked at Chen Huai and said, "Last time, Cheng Wenguang met me, I was quite concerned about your development in the local area. Now you have to think twice about yourself, so that you can become a great person soon..."

What else could Chen Huai do besides nodding?

As an external member of the Song Dynasty, it would be fine if you didn't pass through Yanjing. It was normal for Tan Qiping to pass through Yanjing, visit the old man and mention his actions in Donghua. I think Tan Qiping's evaluation of him could only be a compliment and a criticism...

But seeing the second uncle Song Qiaosheng and the old man at the dinner table, he didn't intend to listen to him in detail about Meigang, Chen Huai would not be ignorant and boring and uninterested topics. In short, when Tan Qiping talked about Meigang, he could not demote him to nothing. I believe that the old man and the second uncle still have some understanding of Meigang's current situation.

However, this time Chen Huai returned to Beijing for the Spring Festival. In addition to blind dates, he mainly talked about something with his sister-in-law. Song Hongjun talked about something - Donghua is inconvenient transportation. Although Song Hongjun has a factory located in Donghua, he was not happy to go to Donghua. Chen Huai failed to meet Song Hongjun in Hong Kong on the last trip. Returning to Beijing together during the Spring Festival was a good opportunity to meet and talk about things.
