Seeing what Ran's father said, Yang Xiaotao still didn't understand what he meant, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll buy some food and call Qiuye by the way. She asked about it yesterday."

As Yang Xiaotao went out, he still couldn't believe that he had reached this point, and at least he had the step-by-step transition of the section chief and director. But Ran's father jumped directly from the team leader to the director. This span is incomparable.

But when I think of Ran’s father hiding his name in the northwest these years, if you count the time, it’s almost the same.

I drove back to the machinery factory first and called Yangjiazhuang.

It was probably because Ran Qiuye hadn't finished school yet, so he told Yang Dazhuang, who answered the phone, about the matter. If anything happened, he asked Ran Qiuye to call the machinery factory tomorrow.

Then I drove to the vegetable market and bought some symbolic vegetables and meat. When I returned to the courtyard, the back seat of the car was filled with tobacco, wine, tea and fruits.

Xiao Wang came out to help, and there were a few more people in the room.

Yang Xiaotao entered the room and saw two more people in the room.

The two of them are similar in age to Ran's father, and they are both on the thin side. The difference is that the one on the left wears glasses and the one on the right has a straight nose, but they both look like they are scholarly.

Yang Xiaotao came forward, Ran's father introduced him at the side.

"This is Uncle Wang, this is Uncle Li!"

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Li!"

Yang Xiaotao asked with a smile, and Uncle Wang, who was wearing glasses on the left of the two, smiled and said, "I have heard from Lao Zheng a long time ago that Lao Ran's family has an extraordinary son-in-law. When we meet him today, he is really extraordinary!"

"Yes, this guy Lao Zheng is jealous. He said that he will find a better one even if he has a daughter in the future."

"Ha ha!"

Uncle Li next to him spoke next, and Yang Xiaotao quickly said politely, "Thank you, thank you."

"I also believe that Uncle Zheng will find a good son-in-law."

"Of course, you have to be immortal first."

Hahaha

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, the people in the room laughed even more, and Director Zheng shook his head, "If you are not a family, you will not enter the same family. Your soft-spoken temperament is just like Lao Ran."

Ha ha

Ran's father laughed even more happily. Although the number of sons could not compare with Lao Zheng, his son-in-law was only half a son, and these half sons were more promising than the few boys in Lao Zheng's family.

Several people laughed, and Father Ran also pulled Yang Xiaotao down to sit down and pour water.

As for the cooking, it was all left to Ran's mother and the women in the courtyard.

On this occasion, Ran's father would rather Yang Xiaotao accompany the guests as the master of the house, rather than the cook.

Of course, the more important thing is to let Yang Xiaotao have more contact with these people. Not all of them may have a higher status than Yang Xiaotao now, but everyone has their own circle, and building a good relationship with them will also be beneficial to the future.

Now that Ran's father has become the director, it is inevitable to embark on an official career, although his previous job was more focused on academic research.

But Yang Xiaotao is different. The path he takes is the real official career.

Ran's father understands that on this road, it doesn't just matter how talented you are. Sometimes, people also need to carry the sedan chair.

Therefore, he wanted to take today's opportunity to introduce Yang Xiaotao to everyone, so as to become familiar with him.

With this kind of relationship, I won't be turned away when I visit you in the future.

Yang Xiaotao obviously understood Ran's father's plan, and while he was moved, he was happy to show off his strength so as not to embarrass Ran's father.

He took out cigarettes and lit them for several people, turned on the lights in the room, and everyone talked.

Then he talked about his work.

Yang Xiaotao was listening on the sidelines, and secretly marveled in his heart that there were so many people coming back from the northwest this time.

The two people in front of me, Uncle Wang, whose full name is Wang Zaijin, is now the director of the fourth-level department, and his main research field is also the steel sector.

Uncle Li and Li Chengjun are also directors, and directors of the same department as Ran's father. They are in charge of logistics work, which is naturally closely related to steel and machinery.

As the director of the Three Machinery Department, Lao Zheng's main job is the research and development of weapons. Of course, as the director, he only needs to grasp the general direction.

As for Ran's father, the specific arrangements have not been finalized, but he also understands the future direction of the Seven Machinery Department.

As they talked, they found a common topic, and then started chatting about basic materials such as steel and oil.

Yang Xiaotao listened on the sidelines and occasionally interjected a few words to express his own opinions.

In fact, no matter how many machine parts there are, the steel part is the big one.

Just like the First Machinery Department where Yang Xiaotao works, the steel used in the machinery factory is

Without steel, nothing can be done.

The atmosphere in the room became more and more lively, and when Ran's mother's voice came from outside again, Ran's father hurriedly took Yang Xiaotao out to greet her.

Then in the evening, four more people came.

They all work with Ran's father, and of course not all of them are at the director level, but they are still rare backbones when assigned to various departments.

When there were more people in the room, it seemed crowded, so Yang Xiaotao simply stood aside, serving tea and water and letting the guests sit.

After waiting for a while, Yang Xiaotao glanced at Ran's father. The food had been prepared for a long time, but they were not allowed to be served. Is it possible that someone else is coming?

Just when Yang Xiaotao was confused, Ran Hongbing ran in from outside and talked about a car. Then Ran's father waved to Yang Xiaotao.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao realize that he was probably the last one.

The two of them went out and came to the entrance of the courtyard.

Then Yang Xiaotao saw a middle-aged man getting out of the car, with a vaguely familiar face that he should have seen before.

But I can’t tell whether it’s something I saw in my previous life or something I’ve seen in this life.

After all, there were too many people on the city gate tower that day.

In a daze, the man was already approaching.

Ran's father stepped forward and said, "Director, you are welcome to come."

"No way, I'm afraid I'll be late."

As he spoke, he took two bottles of wine from the guard behind him and handed them over, "Authentic Fenjiu!"

Ran's father took it with a smile, then turned around and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took the drink, but still didn't remember who this person was or where he had seen him.

"Wende, is this your eldest son-in-law?"

The visitor saw Yang Xiaotao and asked curiously.

In fact, when Ran's father was selected to come to the Seventh Machinery Department, the relevant departments had already given Ran's father's information to him, so they naturally knew Yang Xiaotao.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao's achievements also made him very curious.

You know, when the Seventh Machinery Department was first established, his old partner had his sights set on the machinery factory of the First Machinery Department. Unexpectedly, the boss of the First Machinery Department could not say anything and was so rigid.

In the end, we settled for the next best thing and several factories were disrupted.

But later, during the meeting, the old partner lamented more than once that if the machinery factory was taken down, the shortcomings of the Seventh Machinery Department would be made up for.

This shows how important this machinery factory is.

"Yes, this is my worthless son-in-law."

Ran's father smiled and said, "Xiao Tao, this is the head of the Seven Machinery Department, your name is..."

"Wende, this is a family matter, just call me Uncle Qian."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered who this person was.

I haven't seen it in this life, but I can see it on TV and in books in my previous life.

We know a lot about this man's deeds.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao looked a little excited.

Compared with this person, Yang Xiaotao, a person who cheated the system, is facing a real expert!

"Uncle Qian, hello, welcome to be our guest..."

Although Ran's father beside him didn't understand why Yang Xiaotao was so excited, he was also satisfied with Yang Xiaotao's attitude.

This kind of respect is not fake.

"Director, Lao Wang and the others are here. Let's go in and talk."

Ran's father entertained him, and the visitor nodded and asked the driver to pick him up in two hours.

For him, time is something to be reckoned with.

The guard and the driver left, and Yang Xiaotao followed them into the house.

Soon, everyone in the room came out to greet him and let him take the main seat.

Then the food started to be served, and Yang Xiaotao also took a bench and sat next to Ran's father.

The dishes were served, the wine was opened, and Yang Xiaotao served it to everyone.

Logically speaking, he is considered a junior here and cannot go to the drinking table, but everyone also knows Yang Xiaotao. As the deputy director of the machinery factory, his rank is higher than most people.
