Life is like this, there are always some things that are cut and messed up, Tao Ze tried his best not to think about these problems that gave him a headache, and came to the door stupidly.

"Are you alright?" Song Qiyun never left, and seeing Tao Ze's depressed expression, he stepped forward and said lightly.

"It's fine!" Tao Ze sighed lightly. "By the way, how is Gao Ben?"

"Do you mean that stunned kid you brought from Yungui?" Song Qiyun replied with a strange expression.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Tao Ze said.

"That kid is so kind, he actually pulled the meteor dart out of his chest by himself, and he didn't say a word, and he is infinitely powerful, as long as he is a little adjusted, his future achievements will be limitless." Song Qiyun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he couldn't help but admire.

"Well, it didn't disappoint me, take good care of him." Tao Ze nodded.

"Yes......" Song Qiyun said respectfully

For people who are in the rivers and lakes, Gao Ben's actions will undoubtedly make people look up to him, so even if Tao Ze doesn't explain, Song Qiyun will not treat him badly.

"By the way, Mayor Dong called just now to ask you to go to his place if you are free." Song Qiyun continued.

"Okay, you stay and preside over the overall situation, and arrange someone to send me there." Tao Ze said indifferently.

As a person "in the system", although he has no real power, he is also a deputy department level, Tao Ze knows what he should do. You must know that the country of China is vast, and Tao Ze's current identity does not know how many people to envy! Besides, it's time to report to Mr. Dong when I come back from Yunnan-Guizhou Province, so put these troublesome things aside for a while and wait until I see Mr. Dong.

At noon in early autumn, the sun is hot, and it is always inappropriate to visit others at noon, but for Dong Zhijian and Tao Ze's pair of year-old friends, these are nothing.

Since the military Wrangler had been damaged in the morning battle, Song Qiyun arranged for an ordinary "Buick" sedan to take Tao Ze all the way to the majestic city government office building.

Tao Ze got out of the car, and the driver turned around and went back without asking much, and it seemed that he was still a driver who paid attention to professional ethics.

Follow prior communication. Tao Ze bypassed the government office building, followed the winding garden path, and went straight to the staff canteen of the municipal government; In fact, chatting while eating is also a good choice, coupled with Tao Ze's open-minded nature, he naturally will not object, and this arrangement also shows that Dong Zhijian has not seen outside.

The staff canteen of the municipal government is different from the canteen of the general school, because many people who come and go here have great identities, so although the scale of the canteen is not large, the overall grade is not low, which is about the level of a three-star hotel.

Stand at the door of the cafeteria. Tao Ze's curiosity looked around at the chic private rooms. At this time, a beautiful red color came into view. Like a maple tree swaying after autumn frost.

It turned out to be Dong Xiaoman, a familiar and unfamiliar name flashed through Tao Ze's memory, and when he thought of his intentional or unintentional estrangement, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.

"Teacher Tao. Long time no see. Dong Xiaoman walked slowly to him, and without waiting for Tao Ze to speak, his expression was natural and generous, and he greeted him gently first.

Tao Ze's expression was stunned, and he felt that Dong Xiaoman seemed to have changed as a person, is this still the Dong Xiaoman who dares to love and hate in his memory?

"Well, long time no see, are you still adapting to the first job?" Tao Ze temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart. Mechanical answers.

"Fortunately, things in the world can't always be as good as they should be, so you always have to adapt." A hint of gloom flashed in Dong Xiaoman's eyes, but he still used his previous tone and said lightly.

Dong Xiaoman's strangeness was fleeting. But Tao Ze saw it in his eyes, just considering his current situation, what could he do? I had to sigh secretly in my heart, and said lightly: "It's good to get used to it......"

Sometimes the untimely "care" is also a kind of cruelty, Tao Ze is now a famous grass, Ye Yuxin is still his best friend, Dong Xiaoman doesn't know, no matter how useless the entanglement is, it can only make everyone more embarrassed by each other, so she changed her words and said seriously: "By the way, Dean Qin Haiming said that you have agreed to be a visiting professor of the "Chinese Martial Arts Department", so I am entrusted to negotiate with you about the signing of the contract and the arrangement of the course. ”

"It's up to you to arrange it, but I'm probably busy this semester, so let's focus on classes as much as possible." Tao Ze said helplessly.

Tao Ze did have a lot to do during this time, and it was because of Qin Haiming's kindness that he reluctantly agreed to Qin Haiming, compared to what he was eager to do now, Tao Ze could only give up the lighter of the two, and the energy spent on school may not be as much as before.

"Okay, I'll let you know when everything is arranged." Dong Xiaoman said softly.

"Haha, Tao Ze, you're finally here." Hearing the sound of talking outside the private room, Dong Zhijian knew that it was Tao Ze who came, so he walked out and said with a hearty smile.

"The kid was supposed to come to see you early this morning, but suddenly something was delayed, and I ask Elder Dong for forgiveness." Tao Ze arched his hand and said seriously.

"Where, this trip to Yungui, Secretary Wang has already told me, before I was worried that Ma Mingjiao's grandfather and grandson would be unfavorable to you, it seems that I was too worried, I didn't expect the task to be completed so successfully, and I did a good job, haha, I knew that I didn't choose the wrong person." Dong Zhijian said with a smile.

"Dong Lao has won the award, and this is the result of everyone's cooperation." Tao Ze sneered.

While talking, the three of them walked into the private room, found a seat and sat down, and then Tao Ze briefly told the story of this trip to Yungui, of course, those lingering sympathies with Ye Yuxin were naturally not included in the report.

Although Wang Qiwei had made a report before, when Tao Ze talked about saving people from the cliff and encountering a giant python, Dong Zhijian was still embarrassed, and Dong Xiaoman was even more shocked, and said that when Panlongfeng bet to save people, when the grandson of the Ma family was disgraced and left angrily, it caused Dong Zhijian to laugh......

"Okay, okay...... Haha......" After listening to Tao Ze's entire narrative, Dong Zhijian laughed again after saying a few "good" in a row.

At this time, the service staff of the canteen put a table of hot meals, a few dishes of bright color, fragrant, I think the taste is not bad, compared with the general canteen meals that are worlds apart.

"Grandpa, the dish is here, let's talk while eating." Dong Xiaoman urged.

"Yes, while eating and chatting, the only regret here is that no wine is served, or you can have a drink with Xiao Tao, it's a pity!" Dong Zhijian said with a smile.

"It's a long time coming, there are no regrets, come and I'll toast Dong Lao with tea instead of wine, please ......" Tao Ze chuckled.

"Okay, cheers......" Dong Zhijian drank it all briskly, and said with a hearty smile: "How can one cup be fun, two more glasses." ”

Dong Zhijian was arrogant, and Tao Ze naturally couldn't be disobedient, so he echoed: "Okay, the kid respects Dong Lao for two more cups." ”

Dong Xiaoman, who was left to dry at the moment, was reluctant, and said with a gloomy face: "Cheers don't take me with you, it's simply ignoring my existence." ”

"Oh, I'm ignoring this good granddaughter of mine, haha, let's have a toast." Dong Zhijian turned his head, looked at Dong Xiaoman with a doting face, and laughed loudly.

The three of them drank the tea in their hands, looked at each other and smiled, at this time Dong Zhijian seemed to think of something, looked at his granddaughter beside him, and then looked at Tao Ze opposite, and said seriously: "Xiao Tao, I want to ask you a personal question, okay?" ”

Dong Zhijian's attitude was a little inexplicable, Tao Ze didn't know what he wanted for a while, but responded mechanically: "Well, Dong Lao, please ask." ”

"Got a partner?" Dong Zhijian hesitated.

Dong Zhijian's question was a little abrupt, and Tao Ze didn't know how to answer for a while, so he just squeaked: "Hmm...... It's ......".

Dong Zhijian saw Tao Ze's expression, and suddenly had a bold decision in his heart, it was better to simply pick things out, so he continued without thinking about it: "My granddaughter, who is knowledgeable and courteous, has good talents and appearances, but I don't know ......? ”

"Grandpa, don't say it." Unexpectedly, Dong Zhijian was just halfway through his words, but was stopped by Dong Xiaoman loudly.

Dong Xiaoman was shy and anxious, her face was flushed, and her breathing was a little short, she brushed the broken hair in front of her forehead, calmed down her emotions a little, and ignored the shocked expressions of her grandfather and Tao Ze, and said angrily: "Grandpa, Mr. Tao already has a girlfriend, who is Sister Yuxin, and they are in love with each other very well; Besides, I only think of him as an ordinary friend and the most respected teacher, and I never have any other ideas, and grandpa will not say this again in the future. ”

Dong Zhijian didn't expect his granddaughter to react so strongly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, or Tao Ze coughed dryly and said: "Cough, Dong Lao is also out of concern for you, you ......"

"Don't say it, I'm fine, I'll go first, you guys eat slowly." After Dong Xiaoman finished speaking, his mood became very bad, and without waiting for the two of them to say anything, he turned around and walked out of the private room.

"This ......" Tao Ze was dumbfounded.

"Hehe, just when I didn't ask, leave her alone, let's eat." Dong Zhijian also felt a little abrupt today, and laughed twice and said helplessly.

For Dong Zhijian, who has lived in officialdom for a long time, how can his granddaughter's love for Tao Ze escape his eyes, and this Tao Ze has both virtue and talent, elegance and humility, and is really an excellent candidate for his grandson-in-law, so he intends to match, who knows that in the end it is such a result, I think it is his granddaughter's fortune is too thin, which is regrettable.

Dong Xiaoman escaped from the government canteen, followed the gentle garden path, and ran to a secluded locust tree in one breath, recalling the bits and pieces when he first met Tao Ze, Dong Xiaoman could no longer hold back the grievances in his heart, and cried loudly......

After a pear blossom with rain, Dong Xiaoman's mood gradually calmed down, and his rational thinking re-dominated his thoughts, there is nothing wrong with liking a person, but how can there be a little reluctance in emotional matters, sometimes choosing to "let go" may not be a good choice for everyone.

Dong Xiaoman is a big girl, after she figured it out, she suddenly felt a sense of relief and sudden enlightenment, although she was still a little reluctant in her heart, but I believe that time will calm everything.
