Text Chapter 643: Door-to-door lobbying

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is precisely because of cognitive bias that Liu Dong and Chen Jie are in a difficult situation now.  Of course, if Chen Jie's parents had not objected to Liu Dong and Chen Jie being together and had a good understanding of Liu Dong's career, then Chen Jie's parents would never have such thoughts now.

    But the reality is that there are no ifs. Since Liu Dong and Chen Jie have never believed in them, it is basically impossible to change Chen Jie's parents just by relying on Liu Dong and Chen Jie's eloquence.

    After a long while, Liu Dong came up with an alternative solution, which was to lobby in person. Anyway, he and Chen Jie were both in the capital now. Unlike in the Soviet Union, the only way to contact them was by phone.

    Liu Dong¡¯s idea left Chen Jie speechless. He came to the door in person. Maybe there was hope. This hope was much better than Liu Dong¡¯s just two phone calls, at least in terms of sincerity.

    So after the two cleaned up, they drove to Chen Jie's home.  Chen Jie's parents both work in the State Council. Although it is not a very important department, they are still relatively powerful. They are not as powerful as those particularly powerful families in the Forty-Nine Cities, but they are definitely not a small family, so  It is not unusual to have your own villa.

    ¡°And Chen Jie¡¯s family¡¯s villa is better than the old man¡¯s small courtyard.  Of course, this does not mean that their status is higher than that of the old man. In fact, housing for powerful people in Beijing is a strange circle.  The lower the rights level of people, the better their housing conditions are.

    Because the more powerful people are, the later their housing will be settled. And the later the house is built, the better the conditions will be.  Take the old man of the Liu family as an example. Although he was not one of the first people to be directly allocated a house, the old courtyard was also built in the 1950s.  Now, although it has been repaired and repaired, it is still not as good as those new houses.

    When the old man was here, Chen Jie¡¯s parents also had an old house. Unfortunately, after the old man was knocked down, the old house was taken back by the people above.  The current housing is all villas newly built by the ministry after the old man was rehabilitated in the early 1980s, so the housing conditions are still good, but in terms of defense strength, they are completely incomparable with the old man.  Even though the old man has completely retired now, the people who are often responsible for the old man's security are still Ouchi's people.

    "But Chen Jie's parents, let alone Dauchi, even if they are armed police, they are not there.  There are many ministerial-level bosses in Sijiu City, not to mention deputy ministers like him, and there are even more people with deputy ministerial status. If everyone in Sijiu City is protected by armed police, then Sijiu City will  There are too many armed police.  Of course, when traveling, especially when going to places, they can also apply, but compared to Liu Dong's father and the others for personal protection, the gap in this level is not even a little bit.

    Since there are really only a few days before the Chinese New Year, Chen Jie¡¯s parents are not running around now. In addition, they are almost busy with work. This period of time is equivalent to being on vacation.  So Chen Jie and Liu Dong came to visit, and Chen Jie's parents were both there.

    Seeing that Chen Jie went out early in the morning and now came back with Liu Dong, Chen Jie's parents still didn't understand why Chen Jie went out so early.  Although neither of them wanted to see Liu Dong very much, the visitor was a guest, and given Liu Dong's identity, they couldn't treat him coldly.  So even if you are not very happy in your heart, you still have to give me a smile.

    Liu Dong really had nothing to say about the expressions of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.  After all, in their opinion, they and Chen Jie will never be together in the end. Since they can't be together, it is definitely not a good thing to be unclearly together with Chen Jie like now.  Unless the status of the Chen family has undergone a fundamental change, and Liu Dong's attitude must be very determined, the two of them can be together.  In their opinion, this possibility is very low.

    Chen Zhonghua, Chen Jie's father, when he saw Liu Dong coming, although he was not ashamed, he did not give Liu Dong a good look. Both of them were sitting in the living room, but Chen Zhonghua did nothing but fight at the beginning.  After greeting him, he just held the newspaper and read it without giving Liu Dong a chance to speak.

    Although Chen Jie's mother was feeling better and poured Liu Dong a cup of tea, she didn't say anything after that. Instead, she held Chen Jie there and chatted.  Liu Dong sat there as if he was isolated.

    Seeing that Chen Jie's parents were not willing to talk to each other, Liu Dong sat there and had to take the initiative to say: "Uncle, aunt. I know that you two have great opinions on me. What do you think?"  Chen Jie and I will not get together, and I think that my relationship with her will not be successful in the end. But I promise you here that it won¡¯t be long before I get engaged to Chen Jie. This matter, even if our old man  , and won¡¯t object!¡±

      Liu Dong¡¯s words finally made Chen Zhonghua move his eyes from the newspaper to Liu Dong, but Chen Zhonghua¡¯s next words made it clear that he didn¡¯t believe Liu Dong: ¡°Xiao Liu, I know you are interested in our Xiaojie.  , and the relationship between the two of you is also very good. But no matter what, our Chen family cannot climb up to the high branches of your old Liu family. What you say now is good, but we also understand the rules, don¡¯t talk about Mr. Liu,  Even your parents wouldn't agree to this, right? Young people, sometimes emotions can't defeat reason. Our Xiaojie really has no fate with you."

    After hearing this, before Liu Dong could speak, Chen Jie interjected: "Dad, this time it's true. Liu Dong even asked the old man to speak. As long as they follow Liu Dong's method, then they  The Liu family will never object."

    "Follow Xiao Liu's method? What method?" Chen Zhonghua still looked indifferent.

    "Actually, a few years ago, I made a bet with our old man. If I can help you take a step forward on my own, then the old man will not object to my relationship with Chen Jie. This must be the case.  , Uncle, you should also have heard what Chen Jie said." Liu Dong explained.

    "That's it. I heard her say it. But isn't it nonsense? A child like you can't control national affairs. I, Chen Zhonghua, have been with the State Council for a long time. The connections inside,  I'm afraid you know better than you. You said that if you ask me to be promoted, I will be promoted? That's a joke! Besides, I haven't heard any news recently, and my boss has no intention of transferring. I'm going up  , where can I go?" Speaking of this, Chen Zhonghua also had some resentment in his words.

    Chen Zhonghua had heard about the bet between Liu Dong and their old man. Although he did not believe Liu Dong's words at the time, it was absolutely impossible to say that he had no idea in his heart.  You must know that the Chen family is no better than the Liu family. Now the Chen family only has a deputy ministerial level cadre, and the others are at the department level at most.  If Liu Dong can really achieve his goal, then Chen Zhonghua can reach the heights of his old man. Perhaps the Chen family can develop and grow, which is not necessarily known.

    If that were the case, there would be nothing wrong with Chen Jie marrying Liu Dong.  Since Liu Dong can give the Chen family a ministerial-level position as a betrothal gift, Liu Dong will never treat Chen Jie badly, and Chen Jie will find a good home.

    But the problem is that from the time Liu Dong spoke to now, Chen Zhonghua's position has not moved a step. Although he has the title of deputy team leader hanging on his head, this thing is simply fictitious and has no real thing at all.  .  It is simply impossible to reach the ministerial level with such a small title.

    And the Chen family¡¯s foundation is not enough. If he doesn¡¯t take the next step, there will basically be no hope in a few years.  A lot of time has passed since the year Liu Dong spoke.  From being hopeful since childhood to now completely believing that Liu Dong is a liar, if Chen Zhonghua had no resentment, it would be impossible.  If no one raised this topic, Chen Zhonghua would not vent his grievances. At best, he would keep them in his stomach.  But now that Liu Dong, the person involved, has singled out what he said at that time, Chen Zhonghua can no longer hold back his resentment.

    "Uncle, I didn't lie at that time. But because there was no suitable opportunity at the time, the matter was delayed. But this does not mean that I really didn't think of a way. Now after my efforts, I have found  There are a few good ways to get you up there." Liu Dong continued.

    "How many good ideas? Xiao Liu, you are really capable! I remember that your old Liu family seems to have nothing to do with the Central Organization Department, right? How many ministerial-level positions can you prepare for me?  , you are really thoughtful." Although the words were words of praise, Chen Zhonghua's tone and look were not praise. To put it bluntly, Chen Zhonghua was speaking sarcastically at this time, and he didn't believe it at all.

    ??The Chen family is considered to be well-established, and they know the ways of the officialdom better than those nouveau riche. Although the Chen family is ruined, they are definitely not idiots anymore.  The third generation of the Liu family could actually say how many they had prepared in front of him. How could this be a promise?  This is pure bragging, and it's a big brag.

    Not to mention a few, if Liu Dong can get a more reliable position, or it is just an opportunity, it means that Liu Dong has gone all out. Maybe in that case, Chen Zhonghua still has a little faith.  After all, the old Liu family might actually have that ability.  But since several positions have been announced, there is basically no other reason for saying this other than bragging.  (. )
