Chapter 84 Midterm Exam Results
Zhang Ke knew that it would be a fool's act to continue shopping in the afternoon, and after lunch, he proposed to go to the café next to the Oriental Plaza to take a breath, and let everyone enjoy the petty bourgeois atmosphere. Petty bourgeoisie was not a word of the time in '94; Until more than ten years later, domestic cafes are all high-end places that civilians do not approach, and in ninety-four years, they are even slaughtered without consultation, and even Ling complained that Zhu Xiaojun only went to the café once on the day of his confession, but Xu Wei had some doubts, Zhang Ke spent money without blinking, but Xu Si did not mean to stop him.
After a short rest in the café, Xu Si pulled her sister Xu Wei aside, wanting to give her some money to improve her college life, not wanting her to work too hard.
Xu Wei refused to live or die, Zhang Ke thought that Xu Wei might know something about Xu Si's past, and he probably had bad associations about Xu Si's current situation.
Xu Si and Xu Wei pushed and shoved, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and everyone stopped and didn't speak, thinking it was very strange. My sister gives my sister who is studying in college for living expenses, which is normal. Seeing that Xu Si was so uncomfortable that he was about to cry, Zhang Ke felt very uncomfortable, and said with a reluctant smile: "A thousand yuan is not enough to drink a cup of coffee, Sister Xu Wei is like a rare ......."
"We just have shallow eye sockets, and a thousand yuan is a salary for ordinary people, three or four months' salary, of course, it's amazing." Xu Wei's face was a little cold, she couldn't persuade herself to accept her sister Xu Si's money, and everyone couldn't get off the stage because she was stubborn.
Zhang Ke smiled, not caring at all, looking at Xu Wei's resolute and coquettish pretty face with a shy face, he could also understand her mood, and said, "Hasn't Sister Xu Wei been working?" I'm going to introduce you to a job, which can be worth several odd jobs for you," Seeing that Xu Wei didn't pay attention to himself and was not angry, he continued, "I want to ask Sister Xu Wei to help take care of a little girl who is only four years old this year, she was frightened in a car accident this summer and still refuses to speak, which is the so-called aphasia......"
Zhitong's experience could touch Xu Wei's soft heart, she turned her face, her expression was much softened, and asked, "What can I do?" ”
"Her mother is the CEO of Sister Xu Si's company, the work is very busy, and it is also very hard, she needs to have someone we can trust to accompany her patiently, of course, she needs to have some knowledge of early childhood education," Zhang Ke clicked a stack of money, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Wei, "If you can be qualified for this job, you also need to receive some special training, I hope you can contact the relevant training institutions yourself, or Sister Xu Si will contact you first and then notify you, this is the cost of training, you stay first, and other jobs, please quit today......"
Zhang Ke's suddenly mature tone made Xu Wei a little uncomfortable. Not only her, but Jiang Dai'er, Ling, Lin Bing, and Zhu Xiaojun on the side didn't expect that this sixteen-year-old boy would talk about one thing so seriously, which also attracted Zhitong's matter, and they all held their breath and didn't speak, but their eyes encouraged Xu Wei to agree.
Whether it is from the attractiveness of the work or from the understanding of his sister's current situation, Xu Wei is difficult to refuse, but he is not used to the tone of Zhang Ke's speech, looking at the stack of money in front of him, he doesn't know what to do.
Xu Si breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gently, and said, "Zhitong has always refused to be taken care of by strangers, and I don't know if I can accept you, so I have to try to know." ”
"Can you see Zhi ...... first" Xu Wei didn't hear Zhitong's name clearly.
"The little girl's name is Zhitong, if she can accept you, we will hope that you can help immediately, then you will not have time for professional training, so I hope you can make any preparations before meeting......" Zhang Ke's gesture of refusing to waste a little time for a few thousand dollars is really very rich children, and it can be very confusing.
Xu Wei hesitantly accepted the money, Zhang Ke continued: "Sister Xu and I may not have time to come to the provincial capital during this time, Zhitong and her mother will often go to Haizhou on weekends, you go back to Haizhou to meet again, it may be more convenient, all the car and boat expenses can be reimbursed from the company......"
……
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ke paid the bill, said goodbye to Xu Wei and them, and asked them to sit in the café for a while.
Carrying a large bag of things, walking out of Oriental Square, Zhang Ke asked Xu Si: "Sister Xu Si, can I bluff Sister Xu Wei with what I just said?" ”
"You......" Xu Si's soft heart gushed out a lot of feelings, although Zhang Ke is still young, he is the kind of considerate and reassuring boy, he knows his unspeakable explanations, so he tried his best to let Xu Wei contact Zhitong to understand his current situation. Xu Wei hasn't been back to Haizhou for too long, and he doesn't know how worried his parents are, so he wants to make up this kind of excuse when she goes back.
Zhang Ke saw that Xu Si's beautiful face was full of melancholy, and said with a smile: "Sister Xu Si, if you are moved and want to cry, after getting in the car, my chest can lend you for a while." ”
"Go, the dog can't spit out ivory!" Xu Si smiled openly, his voice was soft, and his smile was like a flower, "Who was moved?" ”

Before the sun set, I returned to Haizhou, and the new car was parked downstairs in the company.
Not only Haitai Trade, but also many companies working overtime on Sundays in the Xinhaitong Building, just getting off work, there are a lot of people on the square upstairs of the building. The new Audi car may not attract people's attention, there are three Mercedes-Benz parked in the parking lot of the new Haitong Building, but with the special military plate, the perception of others is very different, and people passing by can't help but look back a few times, and the return rate is no worse than Xu Si's.
Seeing Jiang Wei and Zhou Yiping walking out of the foyer of Xinhaitong, and seeing the Audi car with a military license plate parked in the square, he also looked here twice, Zhang Ke rolled down the window and called them over.
"This car?" Jiang Wei didn't hide the surprise on her face, "This license plate is difficult to get, and there are only two or three military divisions, right?" ”
Military license plate plus Audi car, Haizhou military division only two, military division commander Chen Jinqiang Colonel Audi displacement of 3.2L, it is said that some over-specification, but in the region has real power, and is one of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, over-specification is understandable, but it is certain that his military license plate number is much smaller than this car. Of course, ordinary people don't pay attention to too subtle details, Zhang Ke didn't explain, if he explained that the other party still didn't understand, he couldn't show off, but it became a show.
"Sheng Xin's Mr. Ye sent favors, you can't get it in vain," Zhang Ke smiled and said to Jiang Wei: "Xu Si still has some things, you drive me home, and the car will be used by you." ”
"Manager Zhang doesn't have a driver's license?" Zhou Yiping asked in surprise.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a driver's license to drive this car, the car accident made me inexplicably go back to ninety-four years, and witnessed the 718 traffic accident, and I was a little angry about driving, at least in the minds of Xu Xueping, Xie Wanqing and others, I shouldn't like people who drive illegally.
"Well," Zhang Ke replied confusedly, without explaining much, there are very few people who get driver's licenses in ninety-four years, and even the privileged class may not all have driver's licenses.
Jiang Wei was in charge of negotiating with the Chengnan District Government for more than ten days to contract the operation of Xinguang Paper Mill, and she gradually accepted the fact that Zhang Ke was still a high school student, and continued to help Zhang Ke fool others with tacit understanding. Jiang Wei saw that Zhang Ke asked him to send him home instead of Xu Si, and thought that Zhang Zhixing might not know that Xu Si was actually working for his son, otherwise there was no need to do more.
Xu Si pushed the door and got out of the car, in the past two days, she accompanied Zhang Ke to the provincial capital, which was brighter and brighter than the usual old-fashioned dress in the company, at this time she was charming and bright, and Jiang Wei was dwarfed when she walked out of the door, and immediately became more eye-catching than the Audi car. ”
Xu Si smiled, saw Zhang Ke sticking out of the car window and knocking on the car door, leaning over to ask what was going on.
Zhang Ke handed her the plastic bag printed with a delicate pattern: "For you." ”
Xu Si accompanied Zhang Ke to visit Oriental Plaza throughout the whole process, of course he knew that the plastic bag contained a pair of diamond-studded earrings, although it was not ridiculously expensive, but Zhang Ke was quite careful when he chosen, compared his own ears, and muttered a sentence "Mom wears this is quite eye-catching", at that time I didn't expect Zhang Ke to choose for himself, and said that Zhang Ke didn't want others to know his thoughts, and no one could guess it. looked at Zhang Ke with a little shyness, hesitating whether to accept it.
Zhang Ke stuffed the plastic bag into Xu Si's hand and said, "Sister Jiang also has a gift." Waiting for Jiang Wei to sit beside her, he handed her a jewelry box, "I have accompanied Xu Si to go shopping for a long time, and the beautiful big sisters have gifts...... but asked Zhou Yiping to take a box of food out of the car, "Male compatriots, just bear with me, and share something to eat." ”

Before driving the rest of Haitai Trade out of the building, let Jiang Wei drive away. rushed home, hung up the phone to Tang Jing first, and notified her to come and move the gifts, and then went downstairs to move home a bunch of things that were purchased in the car today, Liang Gezhen looked at the pile of things and asked Zhang Ke: "How much did you spend, so many things?" ”
"Working for Sister Wanqing, do you think your son is a fool in the company?" Zhang Ke made a big purchase today, and he also made his parents gradually accept the fact that he would be very rich, otherwise he made a lot of money, and he couldn't spend it if he hid it, which was also quite depressing. On the way, I had a vaccination with Jiang Wei and asked her to cooperate with the acting.
Jiang Wei went upstairs and sat for a while, the residence of Zhang Zhixing, the secretary general of the municipal government, although it has three bedrooms and one living room, but the interior decoration is not as good as his own home, although Song Peiming did not mention Xu Hongbo's speculation about Zhang Zhixing's background, but she has been immersed in administrative opportunities for seven or eight years, and she saw that although Zhang Ke is still young, his early wisdom and maturity are completely the abilities that only a genius boy can have, especially Xie Wanqing's unreserved trust in him, and he can feel that his importance in that layer of the network may not be worse than Zhang Zhixing.
Zhang Ke has more habits of ordinary young people at home, and less sharp and sleek that will only be revealed in the company, Jiang Wei sat for a while, and pondered for a while Zhang Ke, who couldn't figure it out, drank the tea in the cup, and then said goodbye and left, the registration procedures for the new company are about to be completed, and then it is necessary to directly sign a contract with the Chengnan District Government to contract and operate Xinguang Paper Mill, and there are some details that have not been finalized, and it is not easy to come down in these two days.
Driving home in an Audi will surely surprise her husband and father-in-law, who have always thought that they are clinging to his family.
As soon as Jiang Wei left for a while, Tang Jing pulled her mother Gu Jianping over to pick up a gift. Gu Jianping and Liang Gezhen sat in the living room chatting, Tang Jing opened the door of Zhang Ke's room, looked at a bunch of things on the bed, her face was full of joy, but she glanced at Zhang Ke: "You are still knowledgeable and interesting, and you know that you want to please my aunt and grandmother and my ......."
Zhang Ke patted his forehead and sighed: "Disappointment, I thought you couldn't help but pounce on me and kiss me......"
"I dreamed that I told you such a lie, and you should repay it," Tang Jing raised her head slightly, proud and self-satisfied, her tender and jade-like face was filled with a youthful atmosphere, "Your mother asked you about your midterm exam results, and I lied to you, so I don't dare to look at your mother's eyes now." ”
As soon as Zhang Ke was defeated, he fell straight on the bed, curled up, and saw Tang Jing standing in front of the bed with accessories, kun bags, and clothes, and asked Zhang Ke in surprise: "How do you know that I like this?" ”
The short-term disaster of Tang Xueqian's family did not leave too deep scars in Tang Jing's simple heart, compared to Xu Si's shyness and charm, Tang Jing's beauty makes people feel more of the ubiquitous pure breath and vitality, tied in a ponytail, his handsome face has no flaws, his eyes are clear and bright, wearing a magenta smock, jeans, straightening his slender and slender thighs, standing around the room, like a cheerful deer stepping on the depths of Zhang Ke's heart.
Tang Jing finally couldn't help but try on those clothes, Zhang Ke wanted to stay on and give her three punches and two legs to drive her out of the room. Zhang Ke only took the gift for Gu Jianping to the living room.
"I have a gift too?" Gu Jianping happily took the jewelry box, it was a string of pearl necklaces, domestic pearl farming was prevalent very early, pearls depreciated badly, more than ten years later, I almost couldn't see anyone on the street who would wear a pearl necklace, but in ninety-four years wearing a pearl necklace, it still looked jewelry, elegant and generous.
"Why did you bring a gift to Aunt Gu?" Liang Gezhen looked up at her son.
Zhang Ke shrugged his shoulders and said that it was just one piece. Liang Gezhen took Gu Jianping's hand and said: "Wanqing also counts Xiao Ke's salary, he took it to buy gifts, and when I saw that they were all gifts from your Jingjing, I felt sad as a mother, so don't think that the gifts are missing......"
Gu Jianping said with a smile: "It seems that I will slowly get used to it in the future, and I will be satisfied with receiving a gift." ”
At this time, Tang Jing changed her clothes and pushed the door out: "Mom, Aunt Liang, what do you think of my clothes?" Zhang Ke's vision is really good, and he knows that I like such clothes......"
Denim jacket, light gray fur collar, lining Tang Jing's delicate and moving face, playfully showing off his new clothes, inside is a pure black and gold word art T-shirt, magenta pleated velveteen princess skirt, black knee-length pleated black boots, showing the perfect leg shape.
"This dress should have been for Qianqian, if I hadn't just seen Qianqian at noon, I would have suspected that she would have gone to the provincial capital with her......" Liang Gezhen praised with a sigh, "Xiao Ke is quite discerning in picking clothes, and the size is just right." ”
Tang Qian came out with a short-sleeved fleece jacket with a pure black open collar, the collar was decorated with gray and black wool grass, revealing slender arms as white as the first snow, which made Tang Jing more and more beautiful and moving, and Zhang Ke had to admire his vision.
Zhang Zhixing pushed the door in and said in surprise: "Why do we have such a beautiful little princess in our family, where did Zhang Ke deceive him back?" ”
"Uncle Zhang," Tang Jing shyly called Zhang Zhixing, her eyes turned to Zhang Ke's face with a grinning evil smile, and her brows raised proudly, "Just because Zhang Ke still wants to deceive me?" ”
Zhang Zhixing smiled, turned his head to Gu Jianping and said, "The city is going to hold a temporary Standing Committee meeting in the evening, I don't know when it will end, Sister Gu and Qianqian will eat here, don't care about Mayor Tang." ”
"When I came to the door with Tang Jing at this time, I didn't plan to go back on an empty stomach." Gu Jianping said with a smile without seeing it.
The relationship between the two families has become so close that even if Gu Jianping and Tang Jing stay for dinner, they don't need to prepare deliberately, and there are two more dishes on the table than usual. Gu Jianping is a person who can't hide his heart, and at the dinner table, he inevitably complained about Tang Xueqian's current predicament at work: "My old Tang bullied the old man surnamed Wan last time, and he was so angry that he didn't sleep well for a few days, when he was the deputy mayor, he swallowed his anger, and when he was the mayor, he had to swallow his anger, my old Tang was only forty-four, and his hair was a little gray on both sides, and many people who were older than him had black and shiny hair......
Zhang Zhixing smiled, he couldn't and wouldn't intervene in such complaints about women's families.
Zhou Fuming was promoted to secretary, and Tang Xueqian acted as mayor, nominally the first and second in command of Haizhou City, but the foundation is not stable, and the other members of the Standing Committee have their own thoughts. In addition, there was a controversy within the Standing Committee of the Municipal Standing Committee about the personnel adjustment of the municipal organs, so Wan Xiangqian did this, and there was no way to fight back.
Compared with more than half a month ago, the situation is tilted towards Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian, and the key role is played by Haiyu Company's intention to intervene in the operation of Xinguang Paper Mill.
Ding Xiangshan's unexpected fall, and the case is extremely serious, made Ding Xiangshan's officials in the province completely cut off the upper resources, it can also be said that the connection between Haizhou City's officialdom and the provincial capital to a certain extent appeared a fault, 718 major traffic accident, more like a haze cloud shrouded in the sky over Haizhou officialdom.
As long as anyone in the Standing Committee can re-establish this level of contact with the province, and even only needs to leave a deep impression on the secretary of the provincial party committee, the provincial governor, and others, it will be possible to occupy an absolute advantage in the adjustment next year, and it is not impossible to even replace Zhou Fuming.
It is in such an atmosphere that the current delicate situation in the officialdom of Haizhou City has increased great resistance to the work of Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian.
The news of Haiyu's intention to intervene in the operation of Xinguang Paper Mill is tantamount to thunder from the sky for those who are politically sensitive, which means that the haze of the 718 traffic accident has disappeared, and it is not difficult to think that the relationship between Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian and Xu Xueping, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the political and legal committee, has been repaired.
Before the Ding Xiangshan case is revealed, for the province, Tang Xueqian and Zhou Fuming are people who can stand the test, and the relationship between Xu Xueping will undoubtedly stabilize the status of the two of them in Haizhou. Although Xu Xueping ranks third in the province, in this case, it is unlikely that the provincial party secretary and governor will take political risks and choose someone else to replace Tang Xueqian and Zhou Fuming.
It seems that one thing that is not too important has eliminated the instability of Haizhou City to a large extent.
Zhang Zhixing glanced at his son, not sure if he really saw through the subtleties of Haizhou officialdom at a young age, but it was really wonderful for Haiyu Company to intervene in the operation of Xinguang Paper Mill.
After dinner, Zhang Zhixing informed the driver to send Gu Jianping and Tang Jing, who was wrapped in a large pile of gifts, back, and at about eight o'clock, he received a phone call from Tang Xueqian, and learned that the meeting of the provisional standing committee was unusually smooth, and the plan for adjusting the personnel of the municipal organs was approved without resistance with only a few modifications. The resolution passed by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee without any resistance, and Wan Qianqian no longer had the courage to veto it unreasonably, otherwise he might be allowed to retire early and completely. Tang Xueqian finally said: "It's really helpful to treat your kid for Secretary Zhou and me......"
Zhang Zhixing stood against the corner cabinet, and said with a smile: "I can't be treated any more, this kid can't hold his heart during this time, he can actually fail one of the midterm exams, and he still misses one ......" Zhang Zhixing looked at Zhang Ke, who was standing next to him, and glared, letting him listen honestly beside him.
"No, Zhang Ke's English and Chinese are not better than Tang Jing's, Tang Jing won't buy it for your kid, right?"
"English, Chinese, and numbers are good, they say that they are also skilled, just mention these three homework, and the other homework is lightly abandoned, I have negligent asked, today I met Wang Yanbin, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, said that it was going to hold a new student parents' meeting next week, and then I knew, otherwise I would not know the truth until I lost it until I went to the parent-teacher meeting......"
Tang Xueqian laughed and said: "Zhang Ke is at least sure that you and Ge Zhen will not attend any parent-teacher meeting, he is a mistake, I didn't expect Wang Yanbin to contact us closely." ”
Zhang Ke saw his father put down the phone, and said with a shy face: "How can you say that it can offset the merits, besides, there are many skips of class during this time, isn't it for your business?" Sister Wanyan doesn't have time to worry about this side of things, it's all me worrying. Besides, for things that are interested, even if you skip class, you will spend time making up for them, and things that you are not interested in are a waste of time to sit in the classroom. ”
Zhang Zhixing's face was full of helplessness, of course he wouldn't teach Zhang Ke a lesson with a straight face, he wanted to reason with him, let him finish the reason, and said with a wry smile: "Then let's talk about the situation in the provincial capital in the past two days, I didn't think of giving you a gift for Lao Tzu?" ”
"I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, so I forgot about it, and I didn't prepare it for Uncle Tang." Zhang Ke spread his hands.
"What can I misunderstand about you trying to please me because of your bad grades in the midterms?" Zhang Zhixing saw that Zhang Ke nodded sincerely, let his wife smile beside him, and shook his head helplessly, "Yes, tell me about your situation at Secretary Xu's house." ”
"The contract to operate the Xinguang Paper Mill was promised by Sister Wanqing, and it was only recently mentioned by Sister Wanqing to Uncle Xu, this time in the provincial capital, and also talked about this matter, Uncle Xu's opinion is very clear, you can't violate the relevant policies, you can solve the problem as soon as possible, and you must give an account to the employees of the paper mill."
(To be continued)
