Chapter 715 Opportunistic 13

1.

Because he had to go to work at half past one in the afternoon, Zhou Chuntao ended the banquet at one o'clock.

Just when Zhou Chuntao went to the bar to settle the bill, the bar attendant told Zhou Chuntao that Zhuang Shitao had already taken the opportunity to go to the toilet to settle the bill in advance. Zhuang Shitao's approach once again made Zhou Chuntao look at Zhuang Shitao with admiration. Originally, Zhou Chuntao ate a meal from Zhuang Shitao two days ago, and took a lot of things from others, and today he just took this opportunity to ask back to express his gratitude, even if this matter is over, but who would have thought that Zhuang Shitao would not even give such a chance to return the gift.

Although Zhuang Shitao was suspected of stammering in rushing to settle the bill, it was undeniable that Zhou Chuntao's good impression of Zhuang Shitao had increased a few points.

People who often drink and socialize outside know that when they drink, there will be a lot of people who respond, but when it comes to the end of the song, when the problem of paying the bill is really in front of them, the wine table has just hooked shoulders and backs and intimate A group of drinking friends will be full of ugliness, some of them go to the toilet for some reason, some pretend to be drunk and lie on the wine table, some pretend not to see, and even more pretend to rush to pay the bill, but the wallet is slow to make a move... And so on, the ugliness of its wine table varies.

Now there are too many people in this society, it is okay to eat and drink others, and when you eat and drink, you are impassioned, and it is more uncomfortable to let these people take out a penny than to take their lives. This has nothing to do with people's wealth and poverty, but with people's temperament.

Zhou Chuntao is a person who mixes in the wine game every day, of course he understands this truth. People who are generous to money must be generous to their friends, and people who rush to pay their bills are not a little stupid, and people who rush to pay money are not necessarily because they have more money in their pockets than others, but because they value their feelings more than money.

It's just that Zhuang Shitao's move today is indeed to tie up with Zhou Chuntao, and it won't cost a few dollars anyway, Zhuang Shitao will not let go of this kind of opportunity to sell well. Zhuang Shitao would never have thought that a cost of dozens of yuan won Zhou Chuntao's unprecedented favor. This kind of goodwill is stronger than Zhuang Shitao giving Zhou Chuntao 100 catties of beef vermicelli, and it is much better than Zhuang Shitao running Zhou Chuntao's hometown 100 times. Because, from Zhuang Shitao's rush to pay the bill, Zhou Chuntao thought that he had glimpsed the essence of Zhuang Shitao's life.

Out of the tavern, Zhou Chuntao and Zhuang Shitao warmly shook goodbye at the door of the Education Bureau. This enthusiasm, although there is an ingredient in it, is more of Zhou Chuntao's appreciation of Zhuang Shitao.

On the occasion of parting, Zhou Chuntao also told Zhuang Shitao to ask him for a drink the next time he went to the Education Bureau, and Zhuang Shitao agreed again and again.

On March 18, when he got off work at noon, Zhuang Shitao once again stood in front of Zhou Chuntao.

This time, Zhuang Shitao came to the Education Bureau to attend a teaching meeting organized by the junior high school teaching and research department.

Originally, after the meeting, several participants who were familiar with Zhuang Shitao wanted to invite Zhuang Shitao to dine together at noon, but Zhuang Shitao declined the invitation of these people and went directly to Zhou Chuntao's office.

Zhuang Shitao's arrival again did not cause Zhou Chuntao's surprise, in just one week, Zhou Chuntao has been in contact with Zhuang Shitao three times, and now in Zhou Chuntao's mind, Zhuang Shitao has been regarded as half a friend.

So, at noon, the two of them sat down again in the tavern. It's just that Zhou Chuntao said it first this time, Zhuang Shitao is not allowed to rush to settle the bill, otherwise he won't even have to be friends in the future.

Zhuang Shitao was happy when he heard this, and he understood that from this moment on, Zhou Chuntao had already regarded himself as a friend, that is, next, Zhuang Shitao could slowly implement his plan to modify the student's student status. It's just that how to bring this matter up quietly in order for Zhou Chuntao to accept it, Zhuang Shitao still has to act at the opportunity.

Since they regard each other as friends, Zhou Chuntao also put aside his scruples and fight with Zhuang Shitao at the wine table. Zhuang Shitao's alcohol consumption was originally not as good as Zhou Chuntao's, but in order to revise his school status, Zhuang Shitao also took out the spirit of desperate San Lang and sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, and drank glass after glass with Zhou Chuntao.

Half a catty of liquor was in his stomach, Zhuang Shitao was already obviously drunk, and his speech began to become unfavorable. Zhou Chuntao drank a little too much, but his mind was still sober, and he did not lose his temper between his words, but because of the influence of the alcohol and Zhuang Shitao's enthusiasm, Zhou Chuntao also became enthusiastic and took the initiative to call Zhuang Shitao a brother.

With the help of wine, Zhuang Shitao and Zhou Chuntao poured bitter water, and brought the money into the "harsh administration" of Hushan Middle School one by one, and expressed their worries between the words, worried that they would not be able to complete the task of keeping the first place in rural middle schools in this year's Hushan Middle School junior high school entrance examination rate stipulated by Qian Jin, worried about writing an inspection for this, and worried about losing their official positions and resigning. In short, it is pitiful and embarrassing, and people can't help but be moved.

In the concern of friends, Zhou Chuntao casually asked about the admission rate of Hushan Middle School last year's high school entrance examination.

This time, Zhuang Shitao seized the opportunity to tell Zhou Chuntao that Hushan Middle School's high school entrance examination rate last year was the first place in Huxian Rural Middle School, and the learning atmosphere and student foundation in the school were very good. Zhuang Shitao also patted his chest and said to Zhou Chuntao that if it were not for the Education Bureau's revision of the calculation method of the admission rate, he could ensure that this year's Hushan Middle School junior high school promotion rate would rank first in rural middle schools compared with last year's.

"Why is that?" Zhou Chuntao asked.

"Alas, it's not that there are too many dropouts..." Zhuang Shitao let out a long sigh.

"Then there is no remedy?" Zhou Chuntao unconsciously followed Zhuang Shitao's train of thought.

"Yes!" Zhuang Shitao perked up when he heard this, "First, let those students who have dropped out of school go back to school to take the high school entrance examination, even if they can't pass the high school entrance examination, they can always be admitted to a vocational school, right? Second, we are trying to find a way to remove these students from their student status, but what should we do if the students apply for graduation certificates after they have been removed from their student status? The Education Bureau will not apply for graduation certificates for students without student status..."

In the seemingly idle words on the wine table, Zhuang Shitao once again cleverly gave Zhou Chuntao a "set".
