Chapter 92: When You're Old
"Sure enough, it's you!" The person who came said excitedly.
"Zhang Saiyuan? You're not here to write poetry, are you? Tang Jingjing was obviously joking. The other party turned out to be the squad leader I met on the Great Wall yesterday.
"Good memory, actually remember my name." Zhang Saiyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, professional habits, hehe. Getting back to business, I'm planner Tang Jingjing, what do you need? Tang Jingjing said with a smile, very professional.
"How do you feel so awkward?" Zhang Saiyuan said with a smile.
"No way, this is a professional term, I'm afraid of being scolded by the boss." Tang Jingjing shrugged and smiled.
"Okay." Zhang Saiyuan smiled.
"What's the matter with you?" Tang Jingjing asked.
"I came instead of my grandfather Zhang Aiguo, and he asked me to ask you if you have done a good job of the plan." A trace of sadness flashed across Zhang Saiyuan's face.
The father still did not approve of the grandfather's remarriage and hid the order. Grandpa didn't remember Tang Jingjing's contact information, so he had to let himself run. Zhang Saiyuan came at the risk of being scolded by his father, but he was more sympathetic and understanding of his grandfather.
"I've done the plan, why are you here?" Tang Jingjing asked suspiciously.
"Grandma Li is seriously ill and has advanced liver cancer. My grandfather was with her in the hospital. Zhang Saiyuan's voice tightened, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
"That's right." Listening to Zhang Saiyuan's words, Tang Jingjing's heart was also a little sad. Having a lover eventually becomes a family is really a luxury for people of their time.
"Now that you've got your plan done, can you let me bring it back?" Zhang Saiyuan asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." After Tang Jingjing finished speaking, she got up and left.
Zhang Saiyuan looked around, and suddenly saw a photo of Tang Jingjing in the public column, but he didn't expect that she was still a gold medal planner.
"Here you go." Tang Jingjing handed Zhang Saiyuan a stack of materials.
"Gone." Zhang Saiyuan took the things and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Tang Jingjing shouted to the other party.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Saiyuan asked suspiciously, do you still have to pay money?
"I heard Grandpa Zhang say that your family is against him remarrying, right?" Tang Jingjing hesitated, and finally decided to ask.
"Well, it's mostly my dad." Zhang Saiyuan nodded and chuckled.
"Can you tell me why?" Tang Jingjing asked tentatively.
"Old feudal." Zhang Saiyuan shrugged helplessly.
"I want to talk to him, can you give me his contact information?" Tang Jingjing asked.
"My dad is very stubborn, I advise you not to look for him." Zhang Saiyuan was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Jingjing to make such a request, there are really people who are not too troublesome~
"I want to try." Tang Jingjing said seriously.
"Okay." Zhang Saiyuan took the pen and paper and wrote his father's name and contact information on it.
"Zhang Zongnian? Professors and doctoral supervisors at Beijing University? When Tang Jingjing was in college, she often went to Beijing University to listen to lectures, and she was especially impressed by his lectures. His lectures are witty, humorous, progressive, and far-reaching, and it is not clear that he will be a conservative person.
"Hmm." Zhang Saiyuan nodded, not at all complacent.
Looking at Zhang Saiyuan's distant figure, Tang Jingjing suddenly sighed. Life is impermanent, many things can't go as we wish, we should really cherish the present, thank you for all-
Alyssa changed her previous dressing style today and learned from Cheng Meixin to wear a professional suit. The light, delicate makeup makes her look both smart and sexy.
Today, she came to the company early, with only one purpose, that is, to hand over her own planning case to Ma Zhenteng. However, she first had to determine whether Cheng Meixin had handed in the selected plan.
Today it was the turn of "rosacea" Ni Xinping to clean up, so he arrived early.
"Alyssa, you're so early today." Ni Xinping saw Alyssa, and his eyes lit up.
"If I'm late, Manager Ma won't have a good face for me." Alyssa knew her charm, and looking at Ni Xinping's expression, she knew that the other party couldn't run away from her Five Finger Mountain. So he blinked his eyes and said playfully.
"How so?" Ni Xinping is a little shy, and he is not very good at talking to beautiful women.
"By the way, have you handed over all your plans to Assistant Cheng?" Alyssa hit the nail on the head.
"You won't fail to pay it, will you?" Ni Xinping looked at her suspiciously.
"Hmm." Alyssa nodded sheepishly.
"Isn't it? When he got off work on Friday, Assistant Cheng selected some of the excellent ones and handed them over to Manager Ma. Ni Xinping said incredulously.
"Are you sure?" Alyssa asked.
"Manager Ma's computer has a virus, and I happened to be there at the time." Ni Xinping said.
"Oh, good." Alyssa thought to herself, Cheng Meixin, you really know how to find time.
"What's good, you're new, in case Manager Ma asks about your plan, Cheng Meixin is very selfless and won't hide it for you." Ni Xinping kindly reminded.
"I see, thank you." Alyssa laughed. Cheng Meixin, this time I'll make you look good-
Zhang Zongnian mainly teaches Chinese studies, and is very popular among students in the college, but whenever he attends classes, he is absolutely full, and he must not sleep, doze off or play with his mobile phone.
And he lectures very improvised, never according to the script. I guess this is one of the reasons why students like him.
Students all said that Professor Zhang had countless amounts of ink in his stomach.
Because of the old man's affairs, Zhang Zongnian was in a bad mood today, so he simply didn't give a lecture. A topic was given for the students to discuss, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
Zhang Zongnian had already seen a girl standing outside, and he didn't know who she was looking for, so he didn't think much about it. After class, he simply packed up his things and walked straight out of the classroom.
"Professor Zhang, please wait." Tang Jingjing called out to Zhang Zongnian.
Zhang Zongnian turned around and looked at Tang Jingjing very suspiciously, he didn't know what she was looking for, and she had been waiting outside for so long.
"If it's for the sake of recruiting doctoral students, don't talk about it." Zhang Zongnian said solemnly. Recently, there were many people who came to him because of this matter, and he thought that Tang Jingjing came because of this matter.
"Professor Zhang, you misunderstood. I have some questions for you. Tang Jingjing briefly explained her intentions, and her smile was very clean.
What kind of problem would make her wait so long outside the classroom, Zhang Zongnian was really curious. He is also glad that the school has such studious students.
"It won't take you too long, just a few minutes." Tang Jingjing saw that Zhang Zongnian seemed to have some hesitation, so she added.
"You say." Zhang Zongnian smiled and had a very gentle attitude. But the dark circles on his face indicate that he hasn't rested well lately.
Tang Jingjing took a lot of effort to find this place, and she also thought a lot along the way. How can such a knowledgeable professor be persuaded to open it himself? Since you can't do it yourself, then find a way to let him extricate himself.
So, Tang Jingjing asked a question: "I recently liked a poem, which was "When You Are Old" by the Irish poet Yeats. I don't understand a little bit and would like you to explain it for a while. ”
"Just this question? Young man, haven't you heard of this? Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will be revealed. Do you really like it, do you know it well? How many times have you read it? Zhang Zongnian said a little unhappily, thinking that young people nowadays are really getting lazier and lazier, so how can they calm down and study.
Hearing him say that, Tang Jingjing couldn't help but recite affectionately:
"When you are old, and your hair is gray, and you are sleepy,
Snoozing by the fire, please take down this hymn,
Read slowly, remembering the softness of your eyes in the past,
Recall the heavy shadows of their past;
How many people love your youthful and happy hours,
I love your beauty, either hypocritically or sincerely,
Only one loves the soul of your pilgrim,
Love the painful wrinkles on your aging face;
Hang your head, beside the red-glowing stove,
Sadly whispering about the passing of love,
On the mountain above it, it paced slowly,
In the middle of a group of stars hides the face. ”
"What a poignant poem. Zhang Lao, I didn't make a mistake. ”
"It seems that you have put your heart into it, and this version is also my favorite translation. Since you can memorize it, the meaning should be understandable, the so-called true love is precious, fleeting, don't wait for the old time and space to complain. ”
"That old man, can you imagine the bleak evening scene of having no choice but to miss the true love of this life? People in poetry are like this, but people in reality are not? ”
Zhang Zongnian was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said angrily: "You didn't come to ask questions, but to teach, right?" Who are you, we don't have to worry about our family affairs! Zhang Zongnian's face was ugly, and he still exuded a sense of majesty.
"I'm your father's wedding planner. I hope you will attend your father's wedding so that they have no regrets and no guilt in their hearts. Tang Jingjing plucked up her courage and explained her intentions.
"Impossible." Zhang Zongnian was obviously angry, turned around and left.
Tang Jingjing didn't chase after him, he found that although Zhang Lao was angry, he had already been touched, a seed had been planted, wait for it to sprout slowly-
Alyssa was very happy when she saw Ma Zhenteng enter her office. After waiting for about ten minutes, she was just about to get up to find Ma Zhenteng, when she saw Cheng Meixin taking the lead.
Alyssa sat down again helplessly, thinking about the possible conversation between Cheng Meixin and Ma Zhenteng, and imagining Cheng Meixin's possible facial expressions after she came out.
After a while, Cheng Meixin came out of Ma Zhenteng's office. Looks like I'm happy.
"Lisa, come on." Cheng Meixin greeted her kindly.
"Okay." Alyssa didn't say a word, got up and followed Cheng Meixin into her office.
"Will Cheng Meixin's search for Alyssa be the plan to recommend her?" Li Meijia asked Wang Liuyan in a low voice.
"No, Alyssa didn't pay it at all." Ni Xinping leaned over and whispered.
"How do you know?" Wang Liuyan asked.
"When I talked about it in the morning, I reminded her to get one quickly." Ni Xinping said.
"Really?" Wang Liuyan was very happy after hearing this, it seems that Manager Ma already knew that Alyssa had not handed over the plan, and Cheng Meixin couldn't maintain her this time.
"Hmm." Ni Xinping said.
"Alyssa will definitely be criticized now." Li Meijia said.
"Sit down." As soon as she entered the office, Cheng Meixin immediately changed her appearance, and her tone of voice was extremely cold.
"What's the matter, tell me." Alyssa was not polite, found a position and did it, and said lazily.
"Your plan was not handed over, and Manager Ma was very angry." Cheng Meixin said with a smile.
"What scheme?" Alyssa asked, pretending to be puzzled.
"The plan to cooperate with Yan's. But you can't be blamed for that, you weren't there during the meeting, and I didn't inform you. Cheng Meixin looked at Alyssa's eyes, gloating and deliberately stimulating her.
"Why are you doing this?" Alyssa's tone was full of grievance.
"Because you're not supposed to be here." Cheng Meixin said word by word.
"I'm going to go to Manager Ma to sue you." Alyssa pretended to leave.
"Okay, this is not 'New Vision', do you think Manager Ma believes you or me?" Cheng Meixin crossed Erlang's legs and looked very lazy.
"You hate me so much?" Alyssa asked with a smile, an indescribable expression on her face.
"Yes, you have the ability, the means, and the looks, I have to guard against it." Cheng Meixin confessed.
"Cheng Meixin, I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous." Alyssa's expression was very cold, but her voice was very sad, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't match.
"Whatever you want, you're going to gameover soon, anyway." Cheng Meixin said with a smile.
Alyssa laughed as if she had heard a big joke and asked, "Are you so sure?" ”
