If possible, I will definitely help with the introduction.
Chapter 228 If possible, I will definitely help with the introduction.
My parents seemed a little uncomfortable sitting in their newly bought car.
But I got used to it quickly.
When you're in your own car, you can stop whenever you want, as long as it's not a highway.
You can stop and buy something wherever you want, depending on your own plan.
Back in my hometown, after not coming back for a while, the houses seem to have gotten older.
Houses really need people to sustain them.
Even the best house will start to fall into disrepair if no one lives there.
Parents started cleaning and bustling around, then pushed Li Yuan outside to rest.
Li Yuan wandered around the town and looked at the familiar scene.
When people are tired, many just want to go back to their hometown for some peace and quiet.
The day of rest passed quickly, and Mom and Dad had cleaned everything up.
I bought some food from a delicatessen in town.
Nowadays, there are actually many such cooked food shops in rural towns.
Some people even ride bicycles and hawk their wares on rural roads.
Business is tough, and the city, with its larger population, should theoretically be a better place to operate.
But the competition is so fierce that many people who run small businesses feel they can't make as much money as they could back in their hometowns.
A day passed quickly, and after a night's rest, the next day was Hou Laosan's sixtieth birthday banquet.
Sixty years old is a relatively important age milestone.
In rural towns, the events are usually very lively.
What Li Yuan and the other two didn't expect was that Hou Laosan's family's 60th birthday celebration would be this lively.
Around ten o'clock, Li Yuan and his parents went over, gave gifts and recorded the details, then sat down for a chat.
During their casual conversation, Li Yuan noticed that his parents' expressions were rather unpleasant.
Originally, I came back partly to show off.
As they spoke, they were guiding the surrounding villagers to inquire about Li Yuan's job position.
But during this casual conversation, the villagers started talking about Hou Laosan's family.
Hou Laosan's youngest daughter married a boyfriend with very good prospects.
Working for a large company means being highly valued and receiving a high salary.
"Other people's boyfriends are skilled in martial arts and have technical skills."
I heard he's a pilot now, and he earns a very high income.
Today's banquet is the highest tier, costing 2,800 yuan per table.
Li Yuan looked at his parents, whose expressions became somewhat awkward after hearing these words.
I went back to my hometown wanting to show off something, but it turns out I've already been the one who got to show off.
Seeing this, Li Yuan found it rather amusing.
After the other villagers left, Li Yuan's mother came over.
"People should be content with what they have and find happiness in it."
If other people have money, so be it. My son becoming a vice principal is already quite an achievement.
I'm not jealous anyway.
Even though they felt very uncomfortable inside, they kept muttering to themselves, making it impossible for them to admit it.
Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "It's good that you're not jealous, and that you're content with what you have."
As it approached midnight, the host began to speak.
She welcomed the guests and then introduced her son-in-law.
The youngest son-in-law of that big company was named Jiang An. When Hou Laosan spoke of him, he was incredibly enthusiastic.
You could tell from his tone that he liked his son-in-law.
Moreover, Hou Laosan now exudes a certain arrogance.
It seems like I'm on a different level now; in this small town, I'm someone superior to others.
After the pleasantries were over, the formal banquet began.
After the banquet begins, the host will toast each table while everyone is eating.
About ten minutes later, Hou Laosan and his group arrived at Li Yuan's table to offer toasts.
"Old Li, you two are really giving me face. You've gone to the city, but you still made the effort to come to my birthday banquet."
Hou Laosan raised his wine glass, emphasizing that it was raised towards Li Yuan.
Li Yuan could tell that he just wanted to show off in front of his parents.
In fact, I am now capable enough to make my parents proud.
He defeated Jin Fan, and then defeated Jin Yu.
In Lanying City, he completed an extremely difficult task.
He was also awarded a second-class merit at the Sunset Mountain camp.
Such achievements are quite prestigious, even in front of important figures.
However, in rural towns, people don't know much about external affairs.
The two things people usually talk about are their jobs and how much money they've earned.
"How's Li Yuan's work going? Is he still teaching at that middle school?"
Hou Laosan, somewhat casually, immediately asked about Li Yuan's job.
"Not bad, he's the vice principal of the school now, which is quite commendable."
Li Yuan's mother immediately chimed in, explaining the promotion.
The position of vice principal is actually quite ordinary.
With such a position, one is definitely considered a prominent figure in this town.
Upon hearing this, Hou Laosan simply nodded casually.
"Jiang'an, this is where all our fellow villagers live, we know them very well."
If you can help, please do so.
"See if you can put in a good word for the Education Bureau and help Old Li's child."
Upon hearing this, Jiang An nodded.
"I'll go back and ask around to see if there's such a way."
If possible, I will definitely help with the introduction.
However, whether or not you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself.
To advance in your career, your own abilities are always the most important thing.
The man on the riverbank spoke with an air of authority, as if he held a very special position.
To be honest, Li Yuan had met many people of extraordinary status.
On the contrary, those people were more easygoing.
Hearing this, Hou Laosan felt even more delighted.
Jiang An's son-in-law has really made him proud.
After the toasts were finished, Hou Laosan led his men to the next table.
Upon seeing them, Li Yuan's mother immediately went to Li Yuan's side and gently comforted him.
Tell Li Yuan not to be angry; the vice principal has already done a very good job.
They make such impressive claims, but whether they actually have that ability is another matter entirely.
While I hesitated, the outside suddenly became lively.
A rather luxurious car drove up on the road next to it, looking somewhat out of place with its surroundings.
Jiang An and Hou Laosan's family immediately went up to greet them.
It seems that some important figures have arrived again.
The people around were quite curious.
Jiang An is praised so highly and is considered so outstanding.
If he went up to greet them like that, then what kind of mission must the person getting out of the car have?
The once noisy banquet had become much quieter.
Some people even put down their chopsticks and couldn't resist getting up to peek.
I even stopped eating, I just couldn't resist wanting to see what kind of person he was.
Soon, the people on the bus were helped off the bus.
Li Yuan looked at the person getting out of the car and realized he recognized him.
After gaining the talent of "photographic memory", everyone you have ever met will be etched into your mind.
The person who got out of the car was a pilot.
But he wasn't a commercial airline pilot; he flew the Feng family's private helicopter.
The reason Li Yuan knew him was because he helped Feng Yingtian retrieve his severed limb.
Feng Yingtian's secretary arranged for a private helicopter to be given to Li Yuan to take him home.
As a member of the crew, Li Yuan had naturally met this person before.
Looking back, these people had really good service.
They were polite, warm, and dignified.
