Organs and units stress discipline, and when they say that they eat at half past eleven, they are eating at half past eleven.

Not a minute can be advanced, not half a second can be delayed.

At meal time, when Lin Miao followed her parents into the A01 box of the swallow wing hall on the 8th floor of the east building of the Overseas Chinese Hotel, the first two large tables with 20 seats in the room were already full of people. Seeing Ding Shaoyi and Miao Xiaoqiu, who came with Lin Miao's family, they were also quite polite, and they greeted each other - after all, one of these two is at the deputy department level in terms of administrative level, and the other is a representative of the Municipal People's Congress, in a small place like Dongou City, even if they stand with Lao Lin, it is impossible to hide the light.

Especially Ding Shaoyi, who is pampered to his fifties, is also accustomed to seeing the big world in the capital, and has an aura that is difficult for grassroots cadres to control, and most of the time, standing in the crowd is more conspicuous than Lao Lin, an upstart.

The place of the wine table has long been reserved, and two children's seats have been specially added to the high chairs.

Lin Miao, who was accustomed to being insulted by others at the soul level, was calmly hugged by Ding Shaoyi.

Because of the publication of "Small Courtyard Miscellaneous Talks" and "Miscellaneous Conversations in the Small Courtyard", the income of "Dongou Daily" in the past two months has reached the highest level in history, and its performance continues to rise. Ding Shaoyi, who knows the inside story, whether in public or private, has reached an inextricable level of love for Lin Miao, and only hates that there is no school-age girl in the family, otherwise he will simply come to a baby kiss directly, and first take this demon into his own possession.

Everyone sat down and greeted each other, and the waiter began to serve the food.

Ding Shaoyi sat next to Lin Miao and happily served Lin Miao vegetables.

Jiang Ping saw that her son didn't need her to take care of it, so she concentrated on taking care of Li Xiao.

The people in the house didn't know that Li Xiao was adopted by Lao Lin, and they all thought that Lin Miao was a superborn achievement, but they also consciously kept their mouths shut, only saying that Director Lin was so blessed, not to mention that he was talented, and it was excellent to have a son. The old tune talked about Lin Miao's prodigy deeds for a long time, and finally began to can't help but ask around again, asking Lao Lin why he wanted to seal the pen in the heyday of Spring and Autumn.

"You think it's good to be famous, I'll tell you if you're annoyed!" Lao Lin patted the table and began to count the strange experiences he had encountered in the past three months, from the divorce of a husband and wife seeking mediation to digging a dung pit in the countryside and causing neighborhood conflicts and seeking justice, from the classmates of elementary school classmates who opened their mouths to borrow 100,000 yuan to go abroad to distant cousins asking for work arrangements, pile by pile, extremely irritable," I also want to live, now I quit my job to write full-time and I'm afraid that there will be no security in the future, if I don't resign, I will be found by this and that every day, I will not close the pen again, do you want this life?"

A group of leaders at the table saw that Lao Lin was cheap and behaved, and he had to pretend to be forced to make money, and he was obviously resentful in his heart, and he had to speak for Lao Lin in turn.

"It's not easy to be a celebrity......"

"Each family has its own difficulties, and we can't imagine the troubles of great writers......"

"I see that Director Lin is working fast, and it is good to close the pen, so I can do my work safely......"

As he was talking, a big guy at the next table suddenly picked up a wine glass, walked up to Lao Lin, and said with a smile: "Director Lin, I have admired my name for a long time, and I finally saw it today." ”

Lao Lin obviously didn't know each other.

Fortunately, Miao Xiaoqiu introduced him on his behalf: "Lao Lin, this is Director Zheng of the Dongou City Education Bureau." ”

Director Zheng laughed and said loudly: "What director, who is not the chief here today? Director Lin, just call me by my name, Le Bin! Zheng Lebin!"

When Lin Miao heard this, she couldn't help but look up and take a second look.

He was impressed by this product, and he was extremely impressed - in the second year after he was admitted to the district government office, Zheng Lebin was honored in the anti-tiger campaign jointly launched by the Provincial Political and Legal Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection......

At that time, the district also organized a special study activity to draw experience from the lesson of Zheng's betrayal of the party and the people, and Lin Miao also wrote a study experience to his direct leader, District Chief Huang, "Resolutely Fighting against the Free and Casual Work Style".

Later, he was rated as an excellent experience by the district, and District Mayor Huang took an extra 1,000 yuan bonus that month, and on the afternoon of the salary, he took Lin Miao to the Sichuan restaurant next to the district government for a meal. Lin Miao still remembers that at noon, he ate three bowls of rice, and the master of that restaurant is really good......

"Director Lin, let me tell you something. Zheng Lebin said with a smile, looking at Lin Miao, pulling Lin Miao back to reality from the memories of the Sichuan restaurant next door to his former unit, "Old Wu of the foreign Chinese junior high school has something very embarrassing to ask me to tell you." ”

As soon as Lao Lin heard that it was Lin Miao's business, he immediately sobered up for three minutes, and asked with a mouthful of wine, "What's the matter?"

"Didn't he say before that your son would be exempted from the exam...... Zheng Lebin's tone carried a hint of blame, "I don't know which tendon is wrong in the head of the chairman of their school, and suddenly said that if the child wants to enter the school, he must take the exam, otherwise he can't give any amount of money." This old Wu has made him embarrassed to tell you, I heard that we are all doing activities here today, let me bring you a message......"

Lao Lin was a little confused when he heard this, and asked with a frown: "Where did the chairman of the school come from?"

"Foreign Chinese junior high school is a private school, the first in the city, and this year is the second year of enrollment. Zheng Lebin explained to Lao Lin.

Lao Lin relieved his doubts, and then began to slowly recover some of his tastes, and said unhappily: "This person is not authentic, how can he talk like a fart, and look down on me?"

"I can't say that, people do have their own difficulties. He runs this private middle school, and what he is most afraid of is that his children's grades will not be able to keep up after they enter. The current goal of the junior high school Chinese is to sprint 100% of the key admission rate of the high school entrance examination, so that the school's signboard can be erected. The entrance exam is to ensure that every child's foundation is excellent. You look at the two experimental classes of the Municipal Experimental Middle School, and now they also have to take exams for admission. Zheng Lebin used as straightforward words as possible to talk to Lao Lin about the new thing of private middle school, and complimented him, "But your child doesn't have to worry, the Olympiad can win the first place in the city, and the essay can also come to the competition, which shows that the foundation is already very solid, and it is definitely no problem to cope with the entrance exam of foreign Chinese junior high school." And Lao Wu also said that as long as the child can be admitted, they don't even charge school choice fees. ”

Lao Lin has been rich recently, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "I lack his school choice fee?"

Zheng Lebin continued to hold Lao Lin and said: "You are a famous writer in the country, of course you are not short of this money! I just want to pass you a message." Foreign Chinese junior high school is really good, I suggest that it is better to let the child take the test. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Lin Miao, "Child, what do you think?"

Lin Miao was quiet for a moment and replied lightly: "I think...... The experimental middle school is also very good. ”

The smile on Zheng Lebin's face gradually froze......

Lin Miao said like a roller coaster again: "But you are lucky, there are many people here today, even if I don't give you face, I will give face to the principal's aunt." I'll just deign to take the test, who made me so sensible at such a young age......"
