Chapter 81 New Year's Eve

(Bow to thank the officials of the "Messiah Star" for their monthly ticket support!)

Since this community is the resettlement site that was relocated during the reconstruction of the old city, and the building where Chen Ping's family is located is all employees of textile factories and acquaintances. Chen Ping was admitted to civil servants and became an official, so Chen Ping came back and the neighbors around him knew about it and came to see the situation.

It is said that the moon will be the first to get close to the water, so the first person to come here is naturally the neighbor who is opposite the door. The surname is Liu, and he is from the same workshop as Chen Ping's father Chen Yuanshan. When Chen Ping saw him, he called Uncle Liu, and when he saw Chen Ping, he said, "Oh! Old Chen, this is your son. I haven't seen him for so long, and I'm more imposing. Chen Ping, which unit are you in now?"

"Luzhuang City Audit Bureau," Chen Ping replied, adding, "The Audit Bureau is the department that conducts financial revenue and expenditure inspections for all government departments in Luzhuang City, as well as state-owned enterprises like our textile factories. The Audit Bureau also has the power to check their finances and the implementation of various work."

Listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Uncle Liu said in surprise: "Isn't that as powerful as the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

"No, Uncle Liu, you are overestimating us," Chen Ping explained to him: "In fact, our Audit Bureau is just an audit supervision unit. Maybe we can check the implementation of the finance and policies of each unit, but we do not have the power to arrest people. And once we have to use mandatory means, we still have to contact units such as the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Public Security Bureau to help us."

Uncle Liu patted his forehead and said, "Oh! The curves in your organization and unit are too complicated. I don't understand. In short, your unit is just as powerful."

After saying that, he thought about it and asked Chen Ping again: "Chen Ping, are you still the director now?"

"Of course, I am now the director of the Audit Bureau of Luzhuang City." Chen Ping said, adding another sentence, "In terms of level, it is only lower than the deputy mayor of Luzhuang City."

Chen Ping said this on purpose. Of course, Chen Ping was definitely not trying to show off. In fact, after so many official struggles, he had long lost his mind. The reason why Chen Ping said this on purpose was because his parents were too old and he was not at home for many years and could not take care of his parents. Therefore, at home, Chen Ping still had to rely more on his neighbors to help.

Although Chen Ping also knew that his parents had a good popularity, no one was Lei Feng these days. He never had to be enthusiastic after relying on spontaneous help.

Maybe in the officialdom, a director is nothing, especially Luzhuang is just a county-level city with expanded power, but ordinary people don’t know that when they heard Chen Ping say that he was only under the deputy mayor, they thought he was a big official. Driven by utilitarianism, the neighbors around him can always give more help to their parents, whether in the factory or in daily life. On the other hand, they can also give their parents more pride.

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Uncle Liu suddenly stretched out his thumb and said to Chen Yuanshan: "Old Chen, your son is much better than you. He is a high-ranking official at such a young age!"

Chen Yuanshan said: "Of course, if my son is not better than me, then that's all over?"

Then Chen Ping took out a bottle of Moutai from the things he brought back to the Uncle Liu, and said, "Uncle Liu, I remember you like drinking, so this time when I came back from Luzhuang, I specially brought you a bottle of Moutai."

"How can this work? Chen Ping, look at you, what gifts do you bring to me when you come back? It's true!"

Uncle Liu refused so much, but his eyes were already looking at the wine. But it was no wonder. After all, Moutai’s name is too loud, and ordinary people have a rare opportunity to drink this kind of wine, so it is normal for him to want it but feel embarrassed to accept it directly.

Of course, Chen Ping understood his thoughts, so Chen Ping insisted: "Uncle Liu, you usually take care of my family so much. I would be very sorry if I don't bring anything to Uncle Liu. If I don't bring something to Uncle Liu during the Chinese New Year, wouldn't that be too conscience? So Uncle Liu, please accept it, it's my intention."

"Chen Ping, you said so, I can't accept it anymore." Uncle Liu said, and then he took the wine with satisfaction.

Then he chatted with Chen Ping's father Chen Yuanshan in the room for a while, then got up and left. Chen Ping sent him to the door and said to him: "Uncle Liu, my parents are old, and I don't often stay at home. If my parents have anything to do in the future, please take care of you, Uncle Liu."

After receiving Chen Ping's wine, he immediately slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Chen Ping, we are all from neighbors. I will definitely help you with any matters at home."

"Then thank Uncle Liu," said Chen Ping.

After Uncle Liu left, other neighbors with good relationships with Chen Ping's family came to visit. Chen Ping treated these neighbors equally and gave them gifts. After all, he is not short of money now. He can spend money to make his neighbors happy and let them take better care of their parents. This account can be calculated no matter how much he calculates.

Of course, in addition to the neighbors around, Chen Ping's father's workshop director was also visiting Chen Ping's father's factory. After all, as a cadre in the factory and not a cadre with a particularly strong background, he certainly knew better than others what an audit director who was less than 30 years old meant. Although Shagang and Luzhuang are not set up, who can guarantee that Chen Ping has nothing to do with Luzhuang? So of course he wants to have a good relationship with Chen Ping.

In fact, even if the workshop director didn't come, Chen Ping wanted to find him. After all, his parents are old, and although it is impossible to let their parents retire early, at least he can help him assign some easier jobs to his parents.

It is precisely for this reason that the gifts Chen Ping prepared for him were much more expensive than those of other neighbors.

After 5:30 pm, everyone was busy making the New Year's Eve dinner, and Chen Ping's house calmed down. At this time, Chen Ping's mother Zhao Yuexia was busy in the kitchen. However, it was said that it was making the New Year's Eve dinner, but in fact, most of these dishes were already prepared at noon, so at night, you only need to set up a hot pot and put all the prepared dishes inside and heat them up.

At night, Chen Ping would accompany his parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV. Perhaps CCTV's Spring Festival Gala has been worse than it has been every year, but it has to be said that for older generations like Chen Ping's parents, watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve every year has become a habit. If you let them not watch the Spring Festival Gala, they really have nothing else to do.

On New Year’s Eve, in addition to watching the Spring Festival Gala, sending blessing text messages or making blessing calls are also a must-have program for this night.

From 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Ping started sending blessing text messages to his friends, but Chen Ping would not keep a bunch of blessings on his mobile phone like others, and you can tell at a glance that it was a group of blessings. Every text message Chen Ping sent was written by himself.

The recipient started from his best friend Arhat who started in high school, to Li Jupeng, the third generation of the red generation who didn't want to do things in Beijing, to his leader Xiao Shufei, Le Qingyun, the pure but quirky goddess in Shanghai, and Kong Ci, Wang Xin and Zhou Yujie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and it was not until this time that Chen Ping realized how much debt he had owed outside.

In addition to these, after ten o'clock, other directors of Luzhuang and some subordinates of his own audit bureau also sent blessing text messages to Chen Ping.

Faced with these text messages, Chen Ping of course lost interest in replying one by one, so he just replied to the text messages he had edited long ago. After all, his relationship with these people is not very close in general, so he just needs to deal with it casually.

Finally, when the night was about to come, Chen Ping followed his father to set the firecrackers outside, and then waited for the countdown of his mother's house to follow the TV. When his mother's last sound began, Chen Ping and his father lit the firecrackers together, and the sound of the firecrackers was louder. The prosperity of the firecrackers indicates that Chen Ping's career will be smoother after New Year's Eve!
