Chapter 4 Return to Jiangcheng again
After graduating from Zhongshan University, he returned to Jiangcheng again, and together with Qiu Yueyue, he sent his son Zhong Zixing to Jiangcheng Art Institute to go to college, and it was 18 years since he and Fang Jing hugged each other on that rainy summer night.
This time, a family of three bought a sleeper train ticket. Zhong Zixing has grown into a big man of 1.85 meters, like most children born in this era, he has absorbed abundant nutrition, and inherited the excellent dominant genes of his parents, coupled with his stepmother's art education, Zhong Zixing, a college freshman, is more handsome and fashionable than his father back then.
Jiangcheng greeted this family of three with the scorching summer heat that still remains in this city known as a furnace.
As soon as Qiu Yueyue landed in Jiangcheng, she hid in the air-conditioned room of the hotel and refused to come out, and even said, "It's hot, it's hot, it's hot, you have to get heat stroke when you go outside", and the noisy cicadas on the trees made her unbearable.
Zhong Shan went to the art academy to settle down his son and had lunch with Zixing in the school cafeteria. He lamented that the food standard of the college student canteen is now many times higher than when he was in school. But the son shouted that the food was unpalatable.
Zhong Shan said: "Zixing, my father had a classmate named Wang Zhongshu back then, your Uncle Wang, a meal is sometimes steamed buns with pickles. Eating such meals, going to the dock to work on the dock to earn tuition and miscellaneous expenses during the holidays, and even having to subsidize the family, your generation of children is really in the blessing and don't know the blessing! ”
Zhong Zixing pursed his lips and said, "Dad, why do you talk like my grandfather, as you say, how can society progress?" ”
Zhong Shan said: "Social progress is not as simple as words, nor is it the predecessors planting trees and the later generations picking fruits, but relying on the continuous efforts of generation after generation. ”
Zhong Zixing knew that he couldn't talk about his father, and if he said more, he could only attract another big reason from his father, so he had to keep silent. At this time, there happened to be a beautiful female classmate sitting diagonally opposite, and from the appearance of her should be accompanied by her father and mother, who seemed to smile at him from a distance. The mind shifted to the little beauty, and what the father said was completely unfocused.
After lunch, Zhong Shan accompanied his son to the supermarket to replenish some daily necessities, broke up with his son, and took the subway to Jiangcheng Evening News to find Deng Jiaguo. He came to Jiangcheng to send his son to school this time, and only told Deng Jiaguo alone.
At this time, Deng Jiaguo had been promoted to editor-in-chief, the retail sales of the evening newspaper had exceeded 300,000 copies, and the annual advertising income was more than 200 million.
Mr. Deng's office is extremely luxurious and magnificent, with more than 50 square meters, a big boss desk, a large aquarium, a fortune tree, the wall is hung with calligraphy and paintings of local celebrities, a variety of best-selling books are stacked in a solid wood bookcase, the leather soft sofa is very soft and comfortable to sit on, and the indoor air conditioning and outdoor heat wave are completely different from the two worlds.
Deng Jiaguo has been blessed, he has grown a belly, and the whole person looks expanded from the M number when he was in school to the XXXL number, his face is shiny, but his hair is beginning to fall, he is a typical middle-aged greasy man. Shaking hands with Zhong Shan and hugging him, he laughed and said, "Boss Zhong, what kind of elixir have you taken, you don't see old at all!" ”
Zhong Shan said: "There is no elixir, I am a grass people, unlike you Mr. Deng, who is troubled by all kinds of machines." ”
Deng Jiaguo pressed the button on the desk, and after a while, a young girl in a sapphire blue suit and skirt knocked on the door of Mr. Deng's office, Deng Jiaguo asked Zhong Shan if he wanted to drink coffee or tea, Zhong Shan said "tea", the girl hurriedly took out the cup, made tea for Mr. Deng's guests, and then retreated with a smile.
Zhong Shan smiled: "Old Deng, you are not small in this score!" ”
Deng Jiaguo said: "Where, you are a VIP who has not seen each other for more than 20 years, so you are eligible to enjoy such courtesy." And he said, "Tonight, oh no, there is an important party tonight, it is our big advertising client, and I have to come forward to get it done." Just tomorrow night, you must not arrange anything, I will invite you and your sister-in-law to dinner with your brother and sister-in-law. ”
Zhong Shan said: "Your sister-in-law is afraid of the heat and hides in the hotel and refuses to come out, you are busy with you, just meet each other, it doesn't matter if you eat or not." ”
Deng Jiaguo said: "How can it be, how can it be justified if people meet each other and don't have a meal together." It's okay to be afraid of the heat, I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow night, the heat will definitely not hurt my sister-in-law's phoenix body. Besides, you have only been back to Jiangcheng once in more than 20 years, don't other classmates and teachers want to see each other? For example, Fang Jing and Lao Wan? ”
As he spoke, he picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and dialed: "Where is it?" Guess who's with me right now? Forgive you for not guessing, your old lover, think again. No, no, think further. Wrong wrong! I see that you have been in officialdom for a long time, and you have forgotten all your old classmates, let me tell you, it is Zhong Shan. ”
The other party was apparently silent for a while.
Deng Jiaguo said again: "Are you free tonight, I have an important entertainment here, if you are okay, I will hand over Zhongshan to you!" Okay, okay, I'll send a car to take him there. ”
After receiving the phone, Deng Jiaguo said: "Look at it, people are in this way, let you pass her side now, you still want to escape!" Since the beautiful woman is invited, I won't keep you much, and I will leave it to me and your brothers and sisters tomorrow night. ”
After speaking, he pressed the button on the table again, and sent someone to ask the driver to send Zhongshan to the municipal party committee.
