Diary of the life of a working wizard

"I just learned a little bit from my grandpa when I was a kid, but I haven't studied it seriously since then. How can I compare with a traditional Chinese medicine teacher? Asking for advice is almost the same." Cheng Hao felt a little disdainful of Qin Lan's boyfriend, but he still said it. said humbly.

"Your grandfather is the leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine in Yunling Province. Yunjie is still young now. What can you ask for advice from him? It is true that you have the opportunity to introduce your grandfather to him and let him ask for more advice from your grandfather." Qin Pinzheng heard. Yan smiled.

It is not difficult to tell from Qin Pinzheng's words that he likes Xia Yunjie very much, so he is afraid that he is young and not good at studying medicine, and will lose face in front of the descendants of the leading figures in Chinese medicine. He also wants to use Cheng Hao's relationship to give Xia Yunjie a chance to meet him. Masters of traditional Chinese medicine learn medical skills.

Qin Pinzheng was kind-hearted, but Qin Yiyuan and his wife looked more and more uncomfortable upon hearing this. Qin Yiqian's family naturally felt honored on their faces, and Cheng Hao felt a sense of superiority in his heart, but on the surface he still said modestly: "We are all our own people, of course there is no problem."

At this time, Xia Yunjie came out with the already cooked hot and sour potato shreds and braised crucian carp.

Seeing Xia Yunjie wearing a bib and walking out of the kitchen carrying dishes, Qin Yiqian and others showed a look of confusion on their faces, while Qin Jianhong shouted in surprise: "Yunjie, you are the one taking the spoon today!"

"Dad, what you just said is that not becoming a chef is a loss to the chef world. It's Qin Lan's boyfriend, Xia Yunjie!" After hearing this, Qin Yiqian and others suddenly realized that the person wearing a bib and carrying dishes turned out to be Qin Lan's The boyfriends all looked surprised, but Cheng Hao was not only surprised, but also felt a great sense of superiority. His eyes glanced at Xia Yunjie's bib, and a hint of contempt flashed across his face.

As for Qin Lan's parents, their expressions naturally became more embarrassing.

However, Qin Pinzheng didn't think so much and said with a smile: "No, if this kid Yun Jie hadn't suddenly shown off his skills, we wouldn't have been able to have a sumptuous Chinese meal at noon today."

Qin Yiqian's family, including Cheng Hao, all smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, yes." However, anyone with a little discernment could see that they were speaking very perfunctorily.

"Yunjie, come and meet Uncle San and his family, as well as this Cheng Hao. His grandfather is a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine in Yunling Province. I will have him introduce his grandfather to you some other time. You might as well ask his grandfather for more advice." ." Immediately afterwards, Qin Pinzheng waved and called Xia Yunjie over.

Xia Yunjie knew that Qin Pin had good intentions, so he nodded noncommittally, stepped forward with a smile, greeted Qin Yiqian's family one by one, and then ran to the kitchen.

Seeing Xia Yunjie busy in the kitchen again, Cheng Hao's eyes flashed with contempt again. Given his status, he didn't bother to be busy in the kitchen.

Xia Yunjie's cooking skills are naturally very good. Not long after Qin Yiqian's family arrived, he cooked a table full of delicious dishes, which made the old man happy and praised Xia Yunjie's skills repeatedly. However, the more Mr. Qin praised Xia Yunjie, Cheng Hao looked at Xia Yunjie. The contempt in his eyes became even stronger. I think he has no background and can only rely on this to please the old man, like a clown.

In addition to Qin Lan looking at Xia Yunjie, her heart was full of happiness and sweetness, and the two twins, Dabao and Xiaobao, were eating happily. She really felt from the bottom of her heart that this aunt's boyfriend was a great cook. It was really amazing. Although the others said it with their mouths He also praised Xia Yunjie, but he didn't have the same idea as Cheng Hao in his heart. He thought that Xia Yunjie had no background and could only make up for it in other aspects. Otherwise, someone like Cheng Hao, who came from a high-ranking family, would have no need to work in the kitchen.

In any case, since grandpa likes Xia Yunjie, Qin Lan also likes Xia Yunjie, and today is grandpa's eightieth birthday, even if Cheng Hao and others look down on Xia Yunjie, they will still be polite to him on the surface.

In this way, it is quite enjoyable to eat a meal.

After the meal, several women were chatting and laughing, clearing the table and dishes, while Xia Yunjie and others were sitting in the living room chatting with Mr. Qin.

After the women cleared the table and dishes, they washed some fruits and came over to sit in the living room and chat. Qin Lan's mother, her third aunt, Ren Xiaoyuan, Qin Xue and others mainly talked about trivial things in life, while Qin Lan's third uncle asked Qin Lan about official affairs with concern.

Qin Pinzheng has retired long ago, and Qin Yiyuan works in a state-owned enterprise and is now in a semi-retired state. He basically just listens to Qin Lan and her third uncle chatting and rarely interrupts. Xia Yunjie is just a loyal listener, but Cheng Hao is talking to Qin Yiqian. When talking about some matters in the official circles of Yunling Province, he would add a word or two from time to time, and his attitude seemed a bit high, as if he knew the official circles of Yunling Province very well. This made Qin Pinzheng look at him with deep meaning, his eyes There was a flash of unnoticeable displeasure, but Cheng Hao didn't know it. When Qin Pinzheng looked at him sometimes, he thought the old man admired him.

"Third uncle, I heard from my second uncle that the executive vice mayor of your city died suddenly of illness. Are your chances good this time?" As she spoke, Qin Lan asked about Qin Yiqian's competition for the position of executive vice mayor.

Although Qin Lan's grandfather and father are both retired or semi-retired, they are still very concerned about Qin Yiqian's career prospects. After hearing this, they all turned their attention to Qin Yiqian.

"It's hard to say, the competition is very fierce. Mayor Zhang supports me, and Secretary Zheng supports Deputy Mayor Qian Chuan. Although the executive deputy mayor is a position on the government side, and Mayor Zhang's opinion is very important, Secretary Zheng is the municipal party committee member. The opinion of the top leader is also very important. Neither Mayor Zhang nor Secretary Zheng is willing to give in. Now the key depends on the opinion of the province," Qin Yiqian said.

"My father firmly supports Uncle Qin and has spoken a lot for Uncle Qin to the provincial leaders. Uncle Qin's hope is still very high." Cheng Hao said, glancing at Xia Yunjie intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke. With a hint of pride.

The two of them have similar status, and they are both "prospective sons-in-law" of the Qin family. Naturally, Cheng Hao will subconsciously compare his status with Xia Yunjie. He always feels that Xia Yunjie is far inferior to him, and he is inevitably a little proud of himself.

"Yes, Vice Governor Cheng is the executive vice governor, and his voice in the province still carries a lot of weight. With his support, my hopes are much higher." Qin Yiqian nodded.

Seeing what Qin Yiqian said, Cheng Hao was young after all. He couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face, and he felt a little elated, as if Qin Yiqian's ability to sit on the position of executive deputy mayor in the future was all due to him.

"Do you know what Secretary Huang Peihao's attitude is now?" Qin Pinzheng glanced at Cheng Hao, a hint of displeasure flashed through his muddy old eyes, and then asked.

The secretary Huang Peihao that Qin Pinzheng mentioned was Mr. Huang's eldest son, the provincial party committee secretary of Yunling Province, and the current helmsman of the Huang family. His words carry the greatest weight in Yunling Province. Although Qin Pinzheng is old, he still has a good sense of politics, and he hits the key point with one word.

Seeing that Grandpa Qin mentioned Secretary Huang instead of his father, Cheng Hao showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he did not dare to interrupt at this time.

"Secretary Huang hasn't let it out yet, and no one knows. Recently, I've been thinking about whether to go to the province and the capital to walk around." Qin Yiqian shook his head first, and then showed a hint of contemplation.

"I heard that Huang Peihao's personality is quite like that of an old chief. He is rigorous in doing things and hates running for office. I think you should stay in Nanqi City with peace of mind to avoid adding unnecessary unnecessary trouble." Qin Pinzheng said with a straight face after hearing this.

Qin Pinzheng was a veteran soldier. Although he was not a direct soldier of Huang Lao, he had fought under his command. He admired Huang Lao very much and knew something about his character.

"I have considered this too. But the problem is that Qian Chuan and the others live more frequently now, and times are different now. I am worried that if they are running and I am not moving, will the leader feel that I do not seek to make progress? Why don't they take it seriously? If that's the case, it will be too late to run away after the leaders above make a decision." Qin Yiqian said with a conflicted look on his face.

"I think Uncle Qin still needs to run around when the time is right. After all, times have changed, and some underlying rules in officialdom are also quietly changing. There is even a popular saying in officialdom now: don't run or stay put. He ran away and was promoted and reused." Cheng Hao couldn't help but start to interject again. He always felt that as the son of the executive deputy governor, he was qualified to participate in such conversations and express his own opinions.

"Nonsense! What are the hidden rules of the officialdom? It is a bad atmosphere formed because officials are too utilitarian and only want to take shortcuts all day long but refuse to do practical things. If officials are all strict with themselves and others , how can there be such a bad trend." Qin Pinzheng still has the uprightness of the older generation in his bones. Hearing this, his face darkened and he scolded.

Cheng Hao originally wanted to show off, but unexpectedly he received a burst of rebuke from the old man. He suddenly felt embarrassed, but a look of dissatisfaction or even contempt flashed in his eyes, thinking that the old man was old-fashioned and pedantic and did not understand the way of being an official at all.

"Dad, Cheng Hao is also talking about the general environment, and there is a certain truth to it. After all, others are running around and delivering things, and you are the only one standing still. It seems that you are independent and out of place." Cheng Hao is the executive deputy after all. The son of the governor and his daughter's boyfriend, Qin Yiqian was worried that he would not be able to step down, so he smiled and spoke for Cheng Hao.

"Yes, dad, sometimes you have the heart to do something, but you have to get to that position, and to get to that position, in the current environment, sometimes you have to follow the trend. Just like Yi Qian, he is my brother, It's your son. We all know his abilities and his character. We all hope that he can sit in a more important position. But wouldn't it be a pity if he lost the opportunity because he stayed in Nanqi City? ?" Qin Yiyuan also helped. Firstly, he did agree with Cheng Hao's words. Secondly, he was naturally worried that the old man's words were harsh and Cheng Hao would not be able to step down.

When Qin Pinzheng saw his two sons saying this, he felt really angry. He looked up at Qin Lan and asked, "Girl Qin, what do you think of this matter?

"I think it's better for Third Uncle not to run. It's a matter of principle." Qin Lan sat upright and replied with a serious face.

Qin Pinzheng nodded when he heard this, then looked at Xia Yunjie and asked, "Yunjie, what do you think?"

Seeing Qin Pinzheng specifically asking Xia Yunjie, Cheng Hao's expression suddenly changed, and the expressions of others also became a little subtle, especially Qin Yiyuan and his wife who showed a wry smile. The more the old man values ​​Xia Yunjie, the greater their resistance will be.
