(Down)

The doorbell rang, Song Huaiming handed over the sons to the nanny and went to open the door in person. Liu Yuying also put down what she had to do and greeted her.

Chu Yanran and Zhang Yang appeared in front of the gate with Zhao Tiesheng and his wife. Zhang Daguan called Uncle Song and Aunt Liu sweetly.

Song Huaiming greeted him with a smile on his face and held Zhao Tiesheng's hand: "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, sit in it quickly!"

Although Zhao Tiesheng had already had an experience of contact with Song Huaiming and had known Song Huaiming for a long time, now he heard that Song Huaiming had become the secretary of the provincial party committee, and that was the most prominent official in Pinghai. At such a high level, Zhao Tiesheng was really flattered. Holding Song Huaiming's hand, he was excited and a little incoherent: "Song...Governor Song...No...Secretary Song!"

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "Everyone is well, hurry up, please sit down!" He didn't mind Zhao Tiesheng's incompetence. After all, for an ordinary citizen, he would inevitably be a little nervous when facing his leaders again. Although Song Huaiming thought he had no airs, the shortcomings accumulated in the Chinese officialdom from ancient times to the present have made the people develop a fear of officials, which is difficult to change.

Song Huaiming greeted Zhang Yang and his family to the living room to sit down. Xu Lihua took the initiative to hug Xiao Gengxin, repeatedly praised the child for his cleverness and beauty, and also took out a meeting gift prepared in advance. Song Huaiming did not refuse. He was afraid that any refusal might hurt the self-esteem of Zhao Tiesheng and his wife. Song Huaiming was undoubtedly considerate. Liu Yuying asked Bao Yao to take Xiao Gengxin back to the room to rest. She personally served the dishes and invited Zhang Yang and his family to take their seats.

The relationship between Chu Yanran and Liu Yuying is much more harmonious now. She took the initiative to help serve the dishes and walked into the kitchen. Liu Yuying smiled and said, "Yanran, you don't need you here. Hurry up and talk to Zhang Yang's parents."

Chu Yanran said: "With my dad, you can't be busy alone."

Xu Lihua looked at Chu Yanran busy, and she said to Song Huaiming: "Secretary Song, Yanran is so nice. She is beautiful and wise, and is well-educated. I often say that our third son was blessed by the previous life to make Yanran fall in love with him."

Song Huaiming laughed and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, who doesn't love any children? In our eyes, even the children's shortcomings are indescribable."

Zhao Tiesheng nodded.

Zhang Yang dismantled the bottle of Maotai and poured wine for Song Huaiming. Song Huaiming insisted: "Fill it for your dad first!" Although it was just a subtle move, it fully demonstrated Song Huaiming's respect for Zhao Tiesheng and his wife. Zhao Tiesheng couldn't help but think of Ding Zhaoyong's parents. People were so angry that they were more popular. Song Huaiming was the secretary of the provincial party committee, and no one had any airs of official positions. This is the gap.

Song Huaiming picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, welcome you to Dongjiang as a guest. I am busy with work recently, so I can't pick you up at the train station today. I hope I will take care of you if you are rude."

Zhao Tiesheng said: "Secretary Song, don't be polite. You have to take care of so many major issues in Pinghai. Your time is precious." Zhao Tiesheng calmed down a little now and did not stutter anymore.

Song Huaiming said: "Don't be polite at home. Brother Zhao, just call me Huaiming."

Even if he took Zhao Tiesheng's courage, he would not dare to call the provincial party secretary directly. Yan smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Secretary Song, Principal Liu, I wish you." Xu Lihua also quickly picked up the wine glass.

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "It should be our couple who respect you!"

They drank the glass of wine, and Zhang Yang was busy pouring it on. Zhao Tiesheng ate the dish and forgot what he wanted to say. Xu Lihua quietly pushed him below. Zhao Tiesheng was Zhang Yang's adoptive father and the one who was in charge of the family. Today he came here to propose marriage for Zhang Yang. Zhao Tiesheng then remembered the purpose of his coming. He picked up the wine glass again: "Secretary Song, Principal Liu, we are here this time to help San'er propose marriage to Yanran."

When Chu Yanran heard this, she lowered her head in shame, and her pretty face kept blushing to her ears.

However, Zhang Daren grinned happily.

Song Huaiming said: "Brother Zhao, Zhang Yang is a good child. I personally have no objection. As long as they agree, I will agree."

Zhang Yang was so clever, and said to Chu Yanran in public: "Yanran, your father said that as long as you nod, our marriage will be settled."

Chu Yanran said embarrassedly: "I'll listen to my dad!"

Both families laughed.

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "Yanran, you have grown up and you can't listen to your father's relationship. You think Zhang Yang can entrust him for life, so you choose him. If you feel unsure, then continue to investigate him for a few years."

Master Zhang heard that Song Huaiming seemed to have some activity talk. Could it be that this future father-in-law was still a little worried about him? He had to strike while everything was hot. This time, his family came to Jiangcheng to propose marriage. If it was bad, his mother would not know how much he would be lost. He took out a jewelry box, a diamond necklace, and a diamond ring from his pocket.

Chu Yanran didn't know that he was prepared like this. The woman's resistance to diamonds was really weak. Zhang Daren put the necklace on Chu Yanran without saying anything, and then put the diamond ring on her finger: "Don't worry whether you agree or not, I'll trap you first."

Chu Yanran's big eyes were wet, she held Changyang's hand and said, "I'm just listening to you..."

Seeing his daughter so happy, Song Huaiming was naturally relieved. Although he knew that Zhang Yang was a little uncertain, he could not deny that Zhang Yang was outstanding among young people. His daughter was deeply in love with Zhang Yang. Although there have been twists and turns over the years, her feelings for him have never changed. Song Huaiming smiled and said, "Yanran, since he chose Zhang Yang, we must take good care of him in the future and respect his parents. Do you understand?"

Chu Yanran nodded.

Xu Lihua's eyes were red, and she said to Zhang Yang: "San'er, you are not allowed to bully Yanran in the future. If you bully her, I will cut off the mother-son relationship with you."

Zhang Daguanren said with a bitter face: "Mom, you don't need to be that ruthless, right?"

Xu Lihua held Chu Yanran's hand and said, "In short, I will definitely treat Yanran better than you in the future!" Xu Lihua did not have any precious jewelry and gave her only gold bracelet as an engagement gift to Chu Yanran. Although the value of the bracelet cannot be compared with the diamond jewelry given by Zhang Yang, it represents the care of the old man after all.

The next thing was Zhao Tiesheng. According to the rules, they also gave gifts and asked Chu Yanran for her birthday. She wanted to find someone to see her days and try to get their marriage within the year.

Chu Yanran was extremely happy. Liu Yuying saw that the diamond jewelry Zhang Yang gave her was priceless, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to have tea and chat. Song Huaiming called Zhang Yang to the study and said he wanted to give him a gift.

Zhang Yang vaguely guessed that Song Huaiming might have something to say to him alone. He followed Song Huaiming to the study room. Song Huaiming first opened the drawer, took out a box from it, and handed it to Zhang Yang and said, "Open it and take a look!"

Zhang Yang opened the box and saw a pair of green paperweights placed on the shaking face. The carvings were exquisite and the patterns were simple. You can tell at a glance that they were old.

Song Huaiming said: "This is what I bought when I was young when I was working in the county. It is said to be something from the Sui Dynasty. If you like writing, you will give it to you."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Song."

Song Huaiming said: "How is your job recently?"

Zhang Yang said: "It's still the same, but Pinghai's top management has changed frequently recently, so everyone is not very at ease."

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhang Yang said: "It's related! Think about it, I have to be more strict with myself now. If I do something wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

Song Huaimingsuo smiled and said, "What? I'm stressing you?"

Zhang Yang did not admit it or deny it, but just smiled.

Song Huaiming said: "Don't have any ideological burden. You just need to work hard and don't ask about other things around you."

Zhang Yang said: "Uncle Song, don't worry, I will treat Yanran well in the future." He found the opportunity and just made a promise to Song Huaiming.

Song Huaiming said: "What I hope to see is that you can love each other for the rest of your life. It is easy to treat someone well for the rest of your life, but it is difficult to love each other for the rest of your life. I believe you can give Yanran happiness, and I hope you must give her happiness."

Official Zhang nodded vigorously.

Song Huaiming said: "I heard that you once gave Secretary Qiao a "Inscription on the Humble Room"?"

Zhang Yang secretly complained that something was wrong. He thought that this matter had passed, but it finally came to Song Huaiming's ears. In fact, it was no wonder that Liu Yanhong and Song Huaiming had something to do with her? She would not hide it from Song Huaiming. The two of them had a long friendship. Zhang Yang certainly did not dare to lie in front of Song Huaiming. He nodded and said, "Secretary Qiao likes calligraphy. Huang Xianyun happened to give me a piece of calligraphy, so I borrowed flowers to offer it to him. But I didn't expect that this matter would be exposed to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Song Huaiming said: "Do you know, if this matter is pursued, how much trouble will you be?"

Zhang Yang said: "I know now, but I have done it even if I don't. I wonder one thing, who reported me!"

Song Huaiming said: "Is it important?"

Zhang Yang said: "I suspected Yan Guotao, but it turned out that it was not him. Later I found out that the letter that Secretary Qiao hung in the study was his copy, so I thought of Secretary Qiao's head." He never told Song Huaiming about these words. Now his marriage with Yanran has been decided. In other words, Song Huaiming is already his prospective father-in-law, so Zhang Yang no longer has any scruples.

Song Huaiming of course understood what Zhang Yang meant. He smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, don't spend any effort to think about some things, let alone ask questions. It's not a good thing to live a little confused in the world."
