Chapter 732: Going Home for the New Year
Time flies like flowing water, and a few days pass quickly, and it is the day of New Year's Eve on the lunar calendar.
According to the latest regulations of the central government, there is no holiday this day, and the Spring Festival holiday will start from the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It’s just that in the officialdom, there have been policies and countermeasures at the top since ancient times, especially on holidays. Although the regulations are required to go to work on New Year’s Eve, government officials and ordinary civil servants will come to work, but they just come to sign up for it. In fact, except for some people on duty, everyone else gets off work early to prepare for the New Year.
Chen Ping did not strictly restrict this. After all, this is an annual traditional festival, so it is not a bad idea to let the staff of the agency relax.
But of course this indulgence cannot be said directly, but is made with practical actions.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Chen Ping came to Luzhuang Municipal Government to show off and then skipped the shift and went home. Even the leader brought this lead, so the staff below could naturally follow suit.
When Chen Ping returned home, he saw Ye Lingzhi putting on makeup carefully in front of the mirror, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Lingzhi, don't you usually wear makeup? Why are you still putting on makeup today?"
It’s no wonder Chen Ping was so surprised. After all, Chen Ping has known Ye Lingzhi for seven years. Since he first met Ye Lingzhi on Shagang KTV, Chen Ping has never seen Ye Lingzhi put on makeup. At most, he just put on foundation. Chen Ping remembered that Ye Lingzhi had put on makeup twice, one came back from Beijing to meet his parents, and the other was to have dinner with Xiao Shufei Le Qingyun.
However, even if Ye Lingzhi doesn't put on much makeup, she can make the artificial beauties who have PS online feel ashamed of themselves.
Ye Lingzhi gave Chen Ping a blank look and said nothing. Chen Ping walked over to look at the beauty in the mirror and joked: "Others say that an ugly daughter-in-law needs to dress up carefully when she meets her parents-in-law for the first time! Haven't you seen Lingzhi before? Why are you still like this?"
"Isn't that the first time I'm going to your house for the New Year? You must dress up." Ye Lingzhi said, and at the same time pushed Chen Ping away and said, "Oh, don't cause trouble for me one day, otherwise you will really have to bring an ugly wife home if I put on makeup. At that time, your neighbors will laugh at you every day, saying that you are such a young and promising deputy mayor, but you married Zhong Wuyan home."
Chen Ping spread his hands and said, "I don't care!"
"You don't care, but I have the same thing," said Ye Lingzhi. "Okay, you have free time to watch me put on makeup here. Why don't you go and see if you have anything else to bring."
After Ye Lingzhi said this, Chen Ping found that there were two suitcases on the ground beside her. It seemed that she had already packed everything and started to put on makeup after getting up early.
The two of them are going home, not going to other places, so how can they bring a lot of things? They just need to bring some regular clothes to change, so where does it need to be checked?
Ye Lingzhi put on makeup very well. She put on makeup at about 10:40, and then went downstairs with Chen Ping with her suitcase.
Chen Ping believed that he was not a bureaucrat, so he usually did not have the habit of asking the driver to send him home. This time, the same was true. Moreover, this time, Chen Ping did not use the Luzhuang Municipal Government to provide the car, but drove a car under Ye Lingzhi's name. He drove his car to the driver during the New Year, which can be regarded as the benefits his leader gave him during the New Year.
After about an hour of touching, Chen Ping drove home. Chen Ping used to driving the car to the renovated parking lot downstairs, but found that there were almost all cars parked here. Chen Ping took a look at the license plate and found that they were all cars from the Shagang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
This made Chen Ping frown. What's going on?
Although Chen Ping has now become the deputy mayor of Luzhuang, his parents still insist on living in the unified community of employees of the textile factory. The biggest neighbors next to him are the factory leaders of the original textile factory. Even if some wealthy and powerful people are moved here one after another, there will not be so many more people working in the unit at once!
Chen Ping's parents would always live here because of habits. Otherwise, with Chen Ping's current status, it would be impossible to change villas for the two elders. It was just that the two elders were used to such a life and had to arrange them to live in villas, for fear that the two elders would feel very lonely.
Of course, for the sake of the safety of the two elders, Chen Ping also specifically contacted relevant officials from Shagang City and strengthened security measures in this community and nearby areas.
You should know that Chen Ping was from the Shagang Municipal Government, and there were many acquaintances here. Feng Jin, the director of the Municipal Party Committee, was now the secretary of the Shagang Municipal Party Committee. Chen Ping's former leader Cai Zhongxian has been promoted from the director of the Municipal Government Office to the current acting mayor of Shagang. Lin Changsheng, who witnessed Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi's first meeting in KTV, was also promoted from the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau who was responsible for group incidents to the current Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee.
If others don’t say it, Cai Zhongxian and Lin Changsheng will be here, and Chen Ping’s affairs will be easier.
They can be said to be people who witnessed Chen Ping's miracle in the officialdom, so they nodded and did it for Chen Ping's matter.
Originally, Chen Ping's parents' home was a demolition resettlement house in the city, and the location was very remote. When they first moved in, they were not only desolate around them, but they could not see any greenery, but even the roads in and out were very broken. Every day, sand and dust were everywhere, and buses were rarely slow.
However, now this is not only one of the best communities in Quanshagang City, but also has all kinds of greening and fitness facilities. A police station is also set up next to it. As long as a public security incident occurs nearby, the police can feel the scene for up to ten minutes.
This is the benefit of power and relationships!
Chen Ping thought to himself: After all, if he is not the deputy mayor of Luzhuang, Zhao Zhenchuan and the officials in the province do not value him so much, and he is just an ordinary person. Then, let alone these things now, I am afraid that even the real estate certificate of this demolition and resettlement house will not be so easy to get.
"Chen Ping, what are you thinking? Get out of the car and go home quickly. Uncle and aunt are still waiting for us!" said Ye Lingzhi.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering, why are there so many cars from government units parked here? Is it because of that? That's not so fast, right?" Chen Ping said.
"What's going on? Don't you know when you get off the car?" said Ye Lingzhi.
Chen Ping thought about it, so he got out of the car with Ye Lingzhi and took out the suitcase from the trunk of the car. However, as soon as they walked out of the parking lot, they saw two people in their sixties rushing towards here. Chen Ping knew these two people. They were the leaders of their parents' former textile factory. The last time they took Ye Lingzhi home, they chatted with their parents at their home.
"Hello, Uncle Wang and Uncle Li." Chen Ping first greeted them.
"Hello," the two of them greeted Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, you are back!"
"Uncle Wang and Uncle Li, what happened in the community today? Why are there so many government cars parked here?" Chen Ping asked.
"Actually, we don't know much," said Uncle Wang. "Just an hour ago, Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Cai came here with people. I heard that there seemed to be something important to talk to your parents."
"I understand, thank you Uncle Wang and Uncle Li."
