ps: The new book is on the list, and I urgently need recommended tickets and collections, please support my brothers!
Li Jiatao wanted to go to Shanghai as soon as possible and make his first pot of gold dazzling, but he was forced to stay by his father Li Dagang for two days.
Li Dagang's reason is very simple, but Li Jiatao is not allowed to refuse.
"The third child, dig two days with me and then go to the county seat." Li Dagang's tone was non-negotiable.
"Dad, I'm really in trouble, can I dig the fields again when I come back?" Li Jiatao smiled bitterly, time is money at this time.
"Nope." Li Dagang said in a deep voice, "There is no shortage of labor in your family, but if you are admitted to university, you have to dig the fields, and those who do great things must be like this, you can't forget your roots, don't go to the sky with your tail as soon as you gain momentum." ”
After a pause, Li Dagang may have felt that his tone was a little heavy, so he analyzed bitterly: "You should have heard the old saying 'The son is a wolf in the middle of the mountain, and if you have ambition, you will be rampant'. In that way, people will praise you on the surface, but behind their backs they will scold you and step on you. Once a person lives to that field, you will be bored if you have no more interest. It's not that your father forces you to do farm work, but that he wants you to do it for others to see. ”
Li Dagang's words are very reasonable, Li Jiatao feels very reasonable after listening to it, and he has benefited a lot!
After digging the field for two days, Li Jiatao's hands were ground out of blood blisters by the hoe, and he was in pain. But Li Jiatao didn't cry out bitterly, but dug up an acre of land by himself.
Since then, Li Jiatao has to go to the fields to dig for two days every summer vacation, tired and happy, and fulfilling.
Riding a southern motorcycle on a potholed road in the countryside, the blood blisters on his hands rubbed against the motorcycle handles, and Li Jiatao grinned in pain!
Xu Daoming, the magistrate of Xijiang County, learned that Li Jiatao was missing from his daughter Xu Lei, and he was very disappointed, but he didn't say anything. In Xu Daoming's view, Li Jiatao is a student who has never seen the world after all, and he can't withstand the temptation of as much as 100,000 yuan. Xu Daoming has even made up his mind that if Li Jiatao does not come forward again, he will use his salary to help Li Jiatao repay the debt of 70,000 yuan owed to the financial unit of the county public security bureau.
Anyway, Li Jiatao has a great kindness to himself, and Xu Daoming feels that he can't be an ungrateful official. But Xu Daoming was also sighing in his heart, how could a person with an extremely smart mind like Li Jiatao not be able to pass the money barrier?
But within a few days, Xu Daoming saw a sullen daughter with a smile on her face, and guessed that it was Li Jiatao who appeared. When his daughter Xu Lei told Xu Daoming that Li Jiatao had gone to Shanghai and had already sold all the treasury bills and earned 40,000 yuan, Xu Daoming was also taken aback!
"Lei Lei, has Li Jiatao paid back the money he owes to the Finance Unit of the Public Security Bureau?" Xu Daoming asked casually.
"Hmm." Xu Lei replied crisply, "He came to me after repaying the money first, saying that he owed someone money and was unstable." ”
"Hehe, Lei Lei is not wrong." Xu Daoming quipped.
"Dad, you're laughing at your daughter." Xu Lei's pretty face turned red, and she shook Xu Daoming's arm violently.
"Don't shake it, if you shake it again, this old bone will fall apart." Xu Daoming smiled, "Wait for Li Jiatao to come over and ask him to find me at the county government axe office, and I will guarantee that the Finance Bureau will sell him one million treasury bills." ”
"What's the price?" Xu Leijiao said, "What the Public Security Bureau sold him was a seven-fold discount. ”
"Seven folds will be seven folds, Dad always wants to give my family Lei Lei face." Xu Daoming groaned slightly, and said very cheerfully. After all, in Yandu, the price of treasury bills is at this grade, and they are all forcibly issued, forced for employees to subscribe, for the Finance Bureau, this batch of treasury bills is a long-standing problem. In Xu Daoming's view, this does not violate the principle, and there is no such thing as opening the back door, others can't say anything, and Li Jiatao can be repaid, so why not?
"Dad, I want to go to Shanghai with Jiatao, but people haven't been to Shanghai yet?" Xu Lei said in a low voice.
"No way!" Xu Daoming refused without thinking about it, and then felt that his tone was too heavy, so he explained, "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, if it spreads, the impact will be very bad." Think about it, if everyone else knew that Li Jiatao made a lot of money by reselling treasury bills, wouldn't it be said that I, the county magistrate, used my power for personal gain? ”
"Oh." As soon as Xu Lei heard the word reselling, she was a little panicked, and naturally she no longer insisted on going to Shanghai with Li Jiatao. ”
"It's not illegal to break the law, the State Council has already issued a document stipulating that treasury bills can be bought and sold freely." Xu Daoming said with a deep groan, "It's just that this is also a profit-making behavior, and it's not easy to talk about taxation." In this way, you talk to Li Jiatao to see if he can take the initiative to pay taxes in Shanghai, so that there will be no worries. ”
"Hmm." Xu Lei nodded obediently, "I know Jiatao's personality very well, and he will not evade taxes." ”
"Really?" Xu Daoming laughed.
Xu Lei's pretty face turned red again, and she said, "I'm going to cook." ”
Li Jiatao came to Xu's house in the evening, and he was able to find the right time. With a spy like Xu Lei, he can naturally grasp Xu Daoming's whereabouts.
"Uncle Xu, I want to invite you to a light meal, and I have already set a place in Fuman Building." As soon as Li Jiatao came in, he said to Xu Daoming very respectfully, "I don't know if Uncle Xu has time?" ”
"You're alone?" Xu Daoming hesitated a little and glanced at his daughter Xu Lei.
"There is also a family of Lou Gaocheng." Li Jiatao didn't hide it, "These words have caused trouble to you and their family, just to show my heart." ”
Xu Daoming was supposed to have a party at night, but looking at the expectant eyes of his baby daughter, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and smiled: "It's okay, Lou Gaocheng's child is good, I have long wanted to meet him." ”
"I don't know if Director Sun is free today? He still depends on him for help in the affairs of the treasury bills. Li Jiatao seemed to be talking to himself.
"Dad—" Xu Lei immediately called out coquettishly.
"I'll give my grandson a call." was called so affectionately by his daughter, Xu Daoming's heart softened, and he immediately said with a smile.
With Xu Daoming, the county magistrate, making this call in person, Sun Haomin, the director of the Public Security Bureau, would get up immediately even if he was lying on the belly of a beautiful woman. Li Jiatao also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally returned Lou Gaocheng's favor.
Through this period of contact, Li Jiatao found that Lou Gaocheng, this kid, is really young and old, he is very calm and measured in doing things, and his essence is good, so he is a friend worth making.
There are a lot of people who can't support Adou, but fortunately, Lou Gaocheng does not belong to this category.
When Xu Daoming called, Li Jiatao called to tell Lou Gaocheng. This is a must, Xu Daoming is in the important position of county magistrate, and he is not free at every time.
As soon as he received a call from Li Jiatao, Lou Tiantian's eyes next to the phone looked more anxious than his son Lou Gaocheng, who answered the phone. As soon as he heard that County Magistrate Xu and Director Sun would go to Fumanduo Restaurant for dinner, Lou Tiantian was so excited that he almost jumped!
