Chapter 10: Why don’t you stay over there a bit longer?
“Who is it?”
Father Qi turned off the speaker, and Mother Qi opened the door while shouting.
A group of people were standing at the door, and the leaders were full of momentum. They looked like they had been cultivated by high-ranking officials. There were also several security personnel behind them.
Mother Qi looked at the situation and immediately felt a little guilty.
I just played some music. It shouldn’t have caused such a big commotion, right?
Looking at a middle-aged man in front of her, a square face that was naturally imposing immediately filled with smiles:
“May I ask if you two are Qi Xuan’s parents?”
“Ah, yes.”
Mother Qi looked blank, and reflexively said:
“Did our family’s Qi Xuan do something wrong again?”
“Don’t be nervous, it’s a good thing, it’s a good thing.”
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Soon, through his introduction, Mother Qi and Father Qi learned the identities of everyone present.
To be honest, they were a little dizzy because everyone present was a big shot they had difficulty contacting in the past. As a result, they came to visit because of their son, and their attitude was extremely kind.
After chatting for a few words at the door, the leader, Leader Xia, directly invited them to eat at the government reception center.
Father Qi and Mother Qi quickly agreed, closed the door, and followed them outside.
Along the way, they occasionally met neighbors and neighbors who were full of curiosity.
Whenever this happened, Mother Qi would greet them with a smile:
“Uncle Wang, Aunt Zhao, are you sunbathing?”
“Hey, what’s the matter? The government leaders are treating us to dinner!”
“What does it have to do with Old Qi? That’s all thanks to our son!”
“That’s right, that’s right, I said our little Xuan will make a name for himself sooner or later!”
“You’re busy, we’ll talk later.”
……
Watching Father Qi and Mother Qi, under the escort of a group of officials and security personnel, sat in a small car with a spring breeze on their faces, the surrounding neighbors and neighbors were all envious to the extreme:
“Those leaders can only be seen in newspapers and on TV on weekdays. I didn’t expect them to come now.”
“The Qi family has given birth to a good son.”
“That’s right, I’ve always thought that child had a promising future.”
“Aunt Wang, look at what you said. Little Qi failed to go on a blind date with your distant niece last time, and you still said he had bad taste.”
“He does have bad taste. He even wanted to do AA with my niece, and just let her treat him. Does she deserve AA?”
“……”
“I’m so envious. How wonderful it would be if I had such a son.”
“The person almost died in a plane crash. What’s there to envy?”
A middle school student who passed by pouted and muttered unhappily.
The old man wearing an old man’s t-shirt behind him, who was originally smiling, immediately changed his face when he heard this. Without saying a word, he pulled out the belt from his waist and went straight to him.
“Are you envious?! Are you envious?!”
“I’m envious—ow, isn’t it okay if I’m envious! Grandpa, don’t hit me!”
The middle school student spun like a top and was whipped away.
……
Government reception center.
“Come, come, eat whatever you want, don’t be polite, our garlic-flavored white meat is a must.”
“You can’t drink, right? It doesn’t matter, I’m also quitting drinking recently, so I’ve removed the alcohol.”
“It’s getting cold recently, are you two in good health? We have traditional Chinese medicine at the reception center, and we can help you adjust if you need it.”
“No trouble, no trouble, you two have raised Qi Xuan so well, it’s not only the pride of the family, but also the glory of our place. You should give us more experience in education in the future.”
“I toast you two a glass, should Coke be okay?”
……
There was no alcohol on the table, but it still made Qi Donghai and Zhao Xiulan dizzy.
They had never been praised like this since they were young.
What’s more, everyone present had a certain status, which was even more intoxicating than the best wine.
When they had almost finished eating, Leader Xia gradually got to the point:
“We didn’t pay enough attention in the past, and we didn’t do enough work. Do you two have any difficulties in life?”
“No difficulties, everything is fine, living and working in peace.”
Qi Donghai replied with a smile.
Zhao Xiulan hesitated.
Leader Xia and the others were immediately energized when they saw this:
“It’s okay, you can tell us anything, we’re here today to solve all kinds of problems for you two.”
Zhao Xiulan no longer hesitated:
“There’s nothing else, it’s just that the road in front of our community has been crushed, and it’s very bumpy and difficult to walk. Several children and old people have fallen, but we asked, and that small section of road doesn’t seem to be managed by the city, and the property management is also shirking responsibility. Everyone is discussing ways in the homeowner group, whether to raise funds to find someone to repair the road, so… so, I just want to ask, can you introduce us to a qualified construction unit?”
Hearing their questions, Leader Xia and the others couldn’t help but look at each other.
After recovering, Leader Xia hurriedly said:
“You don’t have to worry about this kind of thing, we will immediately send someone to repair that section of road today.”
“How much money do you say?”
“This is because we didn’t do enough work, how can we let you pay?”
After saying that, Leader Xia asked again:
“Besides this, do you have any other problems?”
Qi Donghai and Zhao Xiulan looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Seeing the honest look on their faces, everyone couldn’t help but hold back.
They were all prepared for the other party to make a big opening, but now the other party didn’t say anything at all. What exactly was going on? How could this work continue?
Leader Xia cautiously asked:
“I see that your house is already a few years old. Have you ever thought about moving and changing to a new house?”
“We have also bought a new house, for Xiao Xuan to prepare for his marriage. As for us two, we are used to living in the old house, so there is no need to move.”
“Ms. Zhao, you are wrong. We ordinary people strive for a lifetime, and we definitely want to have a better life. It just so happens that a state-owned enterprise is going to build a new community nearby, with all the standards met, and the environment is also very good. I will be the master and leave you a set, two sets are also fine.”
“No need, no need,” Qi Donghai hurriedly waved his hand, “We are used to living in the old house, and we have been getting along with our neighbors for decades. We may not be used to moving to a new place.”
At this time, a secretary leaned close to Leader Xia and whispered:
“Happy Home is a six-story single building with three units and thirty-six households, not many people.”
Leader Xia immediately made a decision:
“Make a note, let them build another building, and move all of Happy Home over.”
Qi Donghai was dumbfounded:
“But our business is done right next to the building downstairs.”
“Make a note, give the two of them two cars, one for hauling goods and one for commuting.”
“But, but I can’t drive.”
“Make a note, assign four rotating drivers, guaranteeing needs twenty-four hours a day.”
“But business hasn’t been very good recently, so we don’t need a car.”
“Make a note, rent all four storefronts on the pedestrian street to them, with an annual rent of one yuan.”
……
Two hours later, Qi Donghai and Zhao Xiulan, who were full of confusion, had more houses, cars, drivers, bodyguards, private doctors, social security and housing fund, etc., and almost all aspects of protection were maxed out. They even got a civil service position, and they could receive money while staying at home every month.
If they weren’t in the government reception center now, and if the people in front of them weren’t familiar faces often seen in the local newspapers, they would have almost thought they had been scammed.
After Leader Xia and the others discussed it, they confirmed that there were no omissions for the time being, and then instructed the bodyguards sent to be bodyguards to listen to their needs at any time.
Then, he took the camera from the secretary and said with a smile:
“Mr. Qi, Ms. Zhao, next, please help us shoot a video. This video is mainly for Qi Xuan to watch. When we successfully land and meet him one day, we will show him this video directly, so that he will not worry too much about you two. After all, he is a filial child.”
“Oh, oh.”
Qi Donghai and Zhao Xiulan, who were light as a feather, quickly agreed.
Facing the camera, Zhao Xiulan organized her thoughts and said:
“Son, our life is very good now, the country takes special care of us, not only giving us houses and cars, but also giving us a civil service position.
I became a civil servant at the age of fifty, you say this is a mess, I and your father really don’t dare to dream.
Don’t worry about us, everything is fine at home… Do you want to stay there a little longer?”
