Chapter 18 A Visitor
Just after the New Year's Day break, all students are starting to study in a surprise for the upcoming final exams. Zhao Changfeng's mind couldn't be immersed in learning. He needs to find a work-study job to solve the problem of living expenses for the remaining more than a year of college life, which is the most urgent problem Zhao Changfeng is currently facing.
After class that afternoon, Zhao Changfeng was about to leave, but Secretary Cheng Sheng stopped him and asked him to come home for dinner in the evening. Zhao Changfeng wondered in his heart, could it be that Secretary Li knew that his living expenses were not settled, and he was living a tight life, so he invited him to his home to improve his food?
No matter what the reason is, it's always good to improve the food, especially at the same time as improving the food, it also saves Zhao Changfeng a meal of food.
At half past six in the evening, Zhao Changfeng came to Secretary Li's house on time, and to his surprise, there was a stranger at Secretary Li's house. The man was dressed in a somewhat outdated woolen tunic and was about fifty years old, looking very calm.
Secretary Li introduced to Zhao Changfeng that this person's surname is Cheng, and he is Secretary Li's hometown, and he is currently serving as the deputy secretary of the county party committee in a county under a prefecture-level city in Central Plains Province.
"Secretary Cheng is good!" Zhao Changfeng greeted Secretary Cheng while pondering Secretary Li's intentions, what did he mean by introducing Secretary Cheng to himself?
Zhao Changfeng was so distracted, there was a bit of a reserved taste in his demeanor, and Secretary Cheng couldn't help nodding his head.
But Zhao Changfeng didn't figure out what Secretary Li meant by arranging for him to meet Secretary Cheng. Because after saying hello, Secretary Li didn't say anything anymore, and began to greet Zhao Changfeng and Secretary Cheng for a drink. Secretary Cheng didn't say anything, except for enthusiastically persuading Zhao Changfeng to drink, there was no other language.
After drinking two bottles of liquor, Secretary Li took the initiative to ask to stop. He had seen Zhao Changfeng's amount of wine, and knew that if he didn't have to exchange white water for wine, I was afraid that he and Secretary Cheng would both be planted in Zhao Changfeng's hands today.
Secretary Li's lover served the staple food. Zhao Changfeng ate two large bowls of rice in a row, and when he put down the bowl, he found that Secretary Li and Secretary Cheng had not eaten at all, and immediately felt embarrassed.
Secretary Cheng smiled and said, "What's embarrassing? Young people are growing up, and it's normal to eat a lot of food. When I was like Xiao Zhao, I could eat eight hot steamed buns in one meal. ”
Zhao Changfeng didn't feel so embarrassed. However, for Secretary Li's enthusiasm to serve another bowl for him, Zhao Changfeng resolutely refused. Although I haven't eaten a full meal for three consecutive days, I can't lose my temper in front of Secretary Li. Otherwise, where is it like a relative of the deputy governor?
After dinner, Secretary Li did not keep Zhao Changfeng. He got up and sent Zhao Changfeng downstairs. Zhao Changfeng thought that Secretary Li would take the opportunity to send him downstairs to say something to him alone, but he didn't. After Secretary Li sent him downstairs, he simply told him that the final exam was about to be completed, and he should review well, and then he told him a few words that the road was dark at night and he couldn't see clearly, so he asked Zhao Changfeng to walk carefully, and then waved goodbye.
On the way back, Zhao Changfeng was confused. Could it be that he is too careful? Secretary Li's purpose is so simple, just to invite him to a meal to contact the relationship? But, what happened to the fellow who suddenly appeared in Secretary Li? Secretary Mo Feili didn't know about the arrival of the deputy secretary of the county party committee in advance, so he made an appointment with Zhao Changfeng, and Secretary Cheng came over at this time just for the right time?
Zhao Changfeng's intuition told him that things would definitely not be so simple. But what is the intention of Secretary Li and Secretary Cheng, so why don't they say anything?
Zhao Changfeng returned to the dormitory with a puzzled stomach.
The next morning, Zhao Changfeng only had two classes. He wanted to take advantage of the end of these two classes to take a walk around the city center to see if he could find any work-study opportunities, but as soon as he walked out of the classroom door, he was stopped by a young man.
"You're classmate Zhao Changfeng, right?" The young man asked politely.
"I am. Who are you? Zhao Changfeng looked at the strange young man in front of him suspiciously, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Oh, my surname is Zhang, and I'm Secretary Cheng's secretary." The young man smiled and said, "Secretary Cheng asked me to come over and invite you to lunch together, I don't know if you appreciate it?" ”
Only then did Zhao Changfeng understand that Secretary Cheng definitely had something to look for him. Yesterday, Secretary Li only played the role of threading the needle and introducing the two people to each other, but he did not talk about specific things. Maybe Secretary Cheng felt that it was inconvenient for Secretary Li to know about this matter. Maybe Secretary Li himself doesn't feel the need to know too much of the inside story. Anyway, yesterday was just a simple meeting. As for Secretary Cheng's real purpose of looking for Zhao Changfeng, it will be revealed today.
To go or not to go? Zhao Changfeng was a little hesitant for a while. As for why Secretary Cheng was looking for him, Zhao Changfeng could also guess a point or two in his heart. It's not because of anything else, it must be that Secretary Cheng once heard from Secretary Li that Zhao Changfeng is a very background person. In addition, there is no need for the deputy secretary of the county party committee of a county to come to him through such a tortuous route.
But Zhao Changfeng knows his own affairs. His so-called background and relationships are nothing more than an illusion created by his suspicions. Now let him see Vice Governor Zhao Qiang again, he will definitely be able to recognize Vice Governor Zhao, but whether Vice Governor Zhao Qiang can recognize him is still between the two. If Secretary Cheng really came to Zhao Changfeng because he knew that there was some kind of "relationship" between Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Qiang, I am afraid he would be disappointed.
"Secretary Zhang, I'm really sorry. I still have something to do in the morning, so I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany Secretary Cheng to dinner. Zhao Changfeng finally decided to refuse Secretary Cheng's invitation.
Secretary Zhang was slightly surprised, no wonder Secretary Cheng said that this Zhao Changfeng has a background. It seems that the shelf is really big enough, and he didn't even pay attention to the invitation of the deputy secretary of the county party committee.
"Classmate Changfeng, can you put aside the matter at hand first and accompany Secretary Cheng to have a meal?" Secretary Zhang's attitude was very sincere, "It is really not easy for our Secretary Cheng to drive to the provincial capital from hundreds of kilometers away. Besides, eating won't take up too much of your time, an hour or two is enough. ”
Zhao Changfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Secretary Zhang, I'm really sorry. "Turn around and want to leave.
"Changfeng-san, please wait a minute." Secretary Zhang hurried a few steps to catch up with Zhao Changfeng: "If you don't have time at noon, can you take some time to meet Secretary Cheng in the evening?" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't have time at night!"
Even if Secretary Zhang was well-cultivated, his heart was full of anger, but he had to suppress his anger and make a pitiful look and said, "Classmate Changfeng, when do you have time in the past two days?" I'll pick you up from school then. Secretary Cheng really sincerely invites you. He asked me to bring you over anyway. Please be sure to appreciate the light, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to our Secretary Cheng. ”
Zhao Changfeng is soft-hearted, and he can't see others embarrassed. Secretary Zhang's trick of pretending to be pitiful hit Zhao Changfeng's weakness, and in desperation, he had no choice but to agree: "Okay! Then it's noon today. I'll go see you Secretary Cheng! ”
