Chapter 845: The Old and the New

Zhu Xian held Chen Chuan's hand and said with a smile, "Director Chen, my colleagues and I are very happy to hear that you are coming back. We are all rushing to greet you after we know what has happened."

Chen Chuan said: "I came back to celebrate the New Year and visit my family. I didn't want to alarm my colleagues. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"No, no, Director Chen, you are from Yangzhi. The people of your hometown are looking forward to your return. As local officials, we listen to the people's voices and of course we have to come and greet you. If we don't do this, the people of Yangzhi will not agree, and my colleagues here will also say that I, Zhu, am ignorant, right?"

As Zhu Xian spoke, he glanced around behind him, and the group of Civil Affairs Department officials who had gathered around him all laughed in agreement.

Zhu Xian was very good at judging the situation. He knew that Chen Chuan was a fighter, not a real bureaucrat like them, and that he relied on his own martial arts to sit in this position. If he used the officialdom tricks too much, it would only annoy people. So he said a few polite words, the meaning of which was simple and to the point. After showing that he had obeyed the official etiquette, he did not say anything more.

At this time Guan Yuming came up. He had watched Chen Chuan grow up, but now he was his subordinate. It was impossible for him not to have complicated feelings, but he did not put on the attitude of an elder. He came up and saluted solemnly, and at the same time said "Director Chen" in full energy.

But just this salute makes people feel that he and Chen Chuan have a special relationship.

Chen Chuan returned the greeting, nodded and said, "Close the bureau."

After that, the main bureaucrats from Yangzhi City who were present, both those who knew Chen Chuan and those who didn't, came up to shake hands with him. Some were very enthusiastic, while others had serious expressions. However, under Zhu Xian's arrangement, everyone didn't chat for long. After a few polite words, they all tactfully left.

Chen Chuan then had time to turn around and told the team members who followed him to disband. They saluted him and left.

He tidied himself up and walked towards Nian Fuli's family behind him. From a distance, he saw two little guys jumping and waving at him, shouting "Cousin, cousin".

Chen Chuan smiled, walked up to Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, and said, "Aunt, Uncle, I'm back. Are you all right?"

Yu Wan's eyes suddenly felt a little hot, and she quickly pressed it with the back of her hand, put it down, smiled and said, "Okay, everything is fine."

Nian Fuli looked at him, standing there in a neat uniform with a heroic look, and was filled with emotion. He nodded and said, "Okay! Xiaochuan, we are all fine."

The two little guys raised their hands and said, "Cousin, cousin, we are fine too! We are fine too!"

Chen Chuan smiled and touched the two little heads, then called out to the sky. Chao Ming flew down from the sky and stood beside the family. Its size had grown very large now, and the people around exclaimed. After taking a few glances, the two little guys surrounded it with a wow and hugged Chao Ming. The two little guys seemed to have squeezed into the soft feathers.

Yu Wan looked at him with a smile and said to Chen Chuanshuo, "Chan'er, let's go back first."

Chen Chuan nodded.

When the family was walking back, Wei Changan took off his hat, walked up to Wei Lao Hu and said, "Dad, I'm back."

Wei Lao Hu straightened his chest, looked around, came up and hit him, saying: "Good son, you make your father proud! This uniform is good, and I, Wei Lao Hu's son, am just handsome. Do they accept it?" The last sentence could be heard by half the street.

Wei Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Dad, it's all because of my junior brother Chen."

Wei Lao Hu said, "That's right, so I have to thank him." He walked a little closer and said solemnly, "Follow him and do your work well. You are a capable junior. I have seen many capable people, but they all stepped into the mud and couldn't get out without someone to help them. It is the greatest favor to help you. Don't be so frivolous that you forget your last name. There is no such ignorant person in our Wei family!"

Wei Changan said solemnly: "Dad, I understand this principle."

Wei Lao Hu nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed his arm and glared at him, "You only remember to say hello to your father when you came back? You must say hello to those uncles and aunts? They are the elders who have watched you grow up since you were a child, you can't forget your roots," he turned around and shouted to his colleagues, "I'm telling you, don't miss any of them today!"

Wei Changan was somewhat helpless, but who told his father to be happy today? He just followed his wishes.

All those colleagues in the Police Station had smiles on their faces, but they were secretly cursing Wei Lao Hu in their hearts. Some of them even decided to go back and teach their sons a lesson. "Why don't you give me face?"
Zhu Xian came to the back, and Xiao Pan handed over two manuscripts. "Director, these are the news releases for today and tomorrow. Please take a look."

Zhu Xian took it and looked at it. He just moved his hands a little, and Xiao Pan immediately handed him a pen. After changing a few places, he said, "Just post it like this." He also reminded, "Remember to let me see the photos first after they are developed."

Secretary Pan said respectfully, "Don't worry, I'll be watching and will deliver it to you as soon as it comes out."

Zhu Xian glanced at the direction of the airship, stopped to watch for a moment, and said, "Go back." Then he seemed to remember something and said, "Don't make any noise inside or outside Yangzhi in the next two days."

Secretary Pan quickly agreed and said, "Director Guan has made all the arrangements, so don't worry."

Zhu Xian said nothing more and walked towards his special car. At this time, the airship was dropping off the packages and vehicles that Chen Chuan and the others had brought from the central city. After landing, special service personnel helped transport Nian Fuli and his family here.

Chen Chuan and Nian Fuli's family came to the alley entrance. Most of the neighbors walked around them, and both sides were talking to each other, almost non-stop along the way.

There were also many neighbors standing on both sides of the street, watching them walk past their doors and talking about them.

"Xiaochuan has grown a bit taller. Look at the uniform he's wearing. He looks really impressive."

"Haven't you heard? He's a martial artist, and now he's the director. Does the director understand? How can he not be proud?"

"You two shut up, why are you calling him Xiaochuan? You should call him Director! Director Chen!" The man who spoke raised his thumbs, "He is the most senior official in Central City, on the same level as the biggest official in Central City, the one who can even arm wrestle with him!"

"Yes, I just watched from outside. Zhu Zhengchang's face was wrinkled from laughing. He was so flattering. His waist was bent so deeply and his head was almost on the ground."

This made everyone laugh. For some reason, they felt happy to hear this, as if Zhu Zhengchang was trying to curry favor with them.

After Chen Chuan and his aunt's family returned home, the neighbors helped Chen Chuan move the things he brought in. Chen Chuan even gave a lot of them as gifts on the spot.

He brought a lot of gifts this time, some from the Bessa Khanate, some from overseas, and some from the Fusion Border Company. But even if the big and small packages were given away, the remaining ones almost filled up the living room.

The two little guys were the happiest. They brought them a lot of gifts, and each of them was given a white ball of fluff, which was a kind of creature from the fusion land. Because it was not very lethal, it was later cultivated as a pet.

This thing is furry, round and fat, a bit like a rabbit, and it jumps like a ball. Every time it is patted, it makes a very cheerful sound. Once it is hungry, it will burrow into the soil to absorb nutrients, so just put it in a larger flowerpot. It can be said that it is very popular with children.

Yu Wan simply let them go to the yard to play. Chen Chuan sat down and chatted with them for a while, talking about some things in the central city. After drinking a cup of tea, he said, "Uncle, aunt, why don't you bring your cousins ​​with you and go back to the central city with me this time?"

Nian Fuli touched his chest. Yu Wan stood up, handed him a pack of cigarettes, and whispered, "Don't smoke too much."

Nian Fuli lit up a cigarette, and he thought for a while. "Well, Xiaochuan, you mentioned this last time, and I also discussed it with your aunt. At that time, we thought it was better to stay in Yangzhi. Your aunt and I have lived in Yangzhi for almost half our lives, and we have known the neighbors and acquaintances since we were young. I can't bear to move away.

But after you came back today, Xiao Chuan, I was wondering, will they still treat our family the same as before? I'm afraid Xiao Lu and Xiao Mo will be affected, right? "

He took a puff of his cigarette, shook his head and said, "It's different now."

Chen Chuan nodded. This was certain. Now that he was in such a high position, people who wanted to curry favor with him or had ulterior motives would come to him. If they couldn't find him, they would look for Nian Fuli's family.

The better he treats Nian Fuli's family, the more such situations will occur. He has just returned and it is guaranteed that the phone will be busy soon with people greeting and caring about him one after another. It is not good for his cousins ​​to live in such an environment, and it is not very safe either.

Nian Fuli finished his cigarette and tapped the ashtray a few times: "Yu Wan, what do you think?
Yu Wan shook his hand and said, "Old man, you are the head of the family, you make the decision."

"Ah."

Nian Fuli looked up, put out his cigarette, and said, "Xiao Chuan, your uncle, your aunt, and your cousins ​​will follow your arrangements this time."

Chen Chuan was happy to see their response. He said, "Aunt and uncle, don't worry. I have arranged everything in the central city. I can also hire good teachers to teach my cousins, or send them to some specialized schools to study."

Yangzhi is not too far from the central city. If my uncle and aunt want to come back to Yangzhi, or if any neighbors want to visit you, I can send someone to pick you up at any time. If there is anything else, you can tell me. "

Nian Fuli said, "Okay, Xiaochuan, you are very thoughtful."

Chen Chuan looked more serious at this time and said, "There is one more thing I want my aunt and uncle to tell you in advance. This is also the reason why I want my whole family to move to the central city."
