Chapter 22: A Showdown with a Beautiful Father
After reporting to the Provincial Sports Commission, on the same day, Zhang Liping lived in the single dormitory of the Sports Work Brigade.
As for Zhang Xueru, he was taken to Hao Desheng's house by Mengdu and Hao Min to live.
It turned out that when Zhang Xueru's father and daughter entered the office building of the Provincial Sports Commission to report for duty, Wang Mengdu and Hao Min did not leave the compound of the Sports Commission immediately, but sat in Ao's car while chatting while waiting for the Zhang family's father and daughter.
According to Hao Min's idea, he wanted to wait for Zhang Liping to complete the registration procedures, and then take the Zhang family's father and daughter back to their own homes to live.
As long as the father and daughter of the Zhang family can be brought back to the Hao family to live, more favorable conditions will be created for the realization of Wang Mengdu's plan to pursue Zhang Liping.
Wang Mengdu listened to Hao Min's reasoning, so he happily sat in Ao's car with him and waited for the Zhang family's father and daughter to go downstairs.
However, neither Wang Mengdu nor Hao Min expected that after Zhang Liping completed the registration procedures, the Provincial Sports Commission had arranged a dormitory for her, and at the same time as she registered, she handed over the dormitory key to Liping.
After the Zhang family father and daughter came out of the office building, Hao Min and Wang Meng immediately greeted them from the door of the car, invited the Zhang family father and daughter to get back into the car, and said that they would take them back to Hao's house to stay.
However, this will bring up Liping's temper.
Although Liping is usually not good at words and is easy to blush when she sees people, once she loses her temper, ten cows will not be able to turn back.
When Hao Min said that she would invite her father and daughter back to Hao's house to live, Zhang Liping refused to agree!
Zhang Liping said:
"The unit arranged housing for me. Moreover, as the leader said just now, athletes are not allowed to go out at will and not return, especially not allowed to spend the night outside, which is discipline. So, I had to live in the dormitory! β
It's the truth.
In any province, or in any sports unit that is regulated, the management of athletes is basically militarized: collective accommodation, collective meals, collective training, collective classes, and even collective action on the streets!
When he reported to the personnel department of the Provincial Sports Commission just now, Zhang Xueru also heard the advice of the personnel cadres. Therefore, he could only say to Hao Min and Wang Meng:
"That's right. Just now, the leaders of the Provincial Sports Commission explained this. β
Oh, in that case, there is no way to do it!
Hao Min and Wang Meng could only watch Zhang Xueru send their daughter to the athletes' dormitory of the Sports Commission.
However, Hao Min and Wang Meng still did not leave the compound of the Sports Committee.
Why?
Because Hao Min felt that although he couldn't take Zhang Liping back to his home to live, if he could take Zhang Xueru home to live, it should be of great help to Wang Mengdu's next pursuit of Zhang Liping's plan!
Therefore, he persuaded Mengdu to continue to sit in the car and wait for Zhang Xueru's arrival.
After Zhang Xueru helped his daughter make the bed in the dormitory, he soon returned to the compound of the Sports Committee.
"Uncle Zhang, tonight, please come to my house to live, okay?"
Seeing Zhang Xueru come to the front and back of the car, Hao Min greeted him first.
Wang Mengdu also followed.
"Go to your house to live? Is this appropriate? β
Zhang Xueru asked with some hesitation.
However, from the bottom of his heart, he wished he could go to Hao's house to stay!
If you can go to Hao's house to stay, the benefits are obvious!
First, he can get closer to the relationship between himself and the Hao family, especially Director Hao, and create conditions for improving his social status;
Second, he can further develop contact with Hao Min and Wang Mengdu, and see if he can find a suitable partner for his daughter among the two young men, so that the dream of becoming in-laws with a high-level family pursued by himself and his wife becomes a reality;
The third point is very simple, at least, you can come to the provincial capital this time without paying for accommodation. In other words, at least you can save yourself a real amount of money!
However, these thoughts and wishes cannot be spoken. Therefore, Zhang Xueru had to pretend to be polite on the surface:
"Hao Min, going to live in your house will bring you a lot of inconvenience, I'll just go find a hotel to live in."
"Hey, no, no, Uncle Zhang, it's my father's intention to arrange for you to stay at my house tonight, you must go! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain it to my father. β
Hao Min lied on the spot, but his performance was very resolute.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, Hao Min's house is very spacious. Now that Director Hao has explained, don't embarrass Hao Min. β
Since the two young men had already discussed it in advance, this dream was also next to him to help persuade Zhang Xueru.
"Oh, tonight - really going to live at your house? Is that okay? β
Zhang Xueru still put on a posture of resignation.
"Ahem, there's nothing that can't be done, let's go, let's go!"
Saying that, Hao Min came to Zhang Xueru, and he was not polite, and pulled him into the car.
"Ah, yes, yes, then, I might as well be respectful?"
Zhang Xueru half-pushed and half-followed Hao Min into the car.
After Zhang Xueru got in the car, he accosted the two young men without saying anything, while thinking about his own thoughts.
In fact, he didn't believe Hao Min's statement at all, and he didn't believe that Director Hao would let him live in Hao's house so easily.
has lived for most of his life, with his experience in society and the brain and vision honed over the years, Zhang Xueru understands that the two young men want to use themselves as a bridge in order to dredge and strengthen the connection between them and Liping.
Hmph, use it!
You want to use me, and I can't wait for it!
On the surface, it looks like you're using me, but in reality, I'm not using you.
What is the relationship between people?
People are inherently a relationship of mutual use.
From ancient times to the present, without exception!
As for the two young men in front of me, which one can become my future son-in-law, it depends on their creation and fate.
According to his own outlook on life and worldview, Zhang Xueru pretended to be inadvertent, carefully observing and looking at Hao Min and Mengdu.
Sure enough, at about nine o'clock that night, Hao Min came to his guest room alone, sat in front of the sofa placed by the window, and chatted with Zhang Xueru, who was temporarily arranged to stay here, and then asked in a tentative tone:
"Uncle Zhang, there's something I want to discuss with you. I don't know if to say it or not? β
"Oh, Hao Min, we're all so familiar, what else should I not say?"
As soon as Zhang Xueru heard Hao Min's words, he guessed that there was a play behind, and his heart was so happy that he was jumping fast.
"Then I'll just say it?"
Hao Min saw that Zhang Xueru was encouraging himself, so he said bluntly:
"Uncle Zhang, I won't tell you, Wang Mengdu, that is, Mayor Wang's son,"
Hao Min deliberately highlighted "Mayor Wang's son":
"When he watched the women's diving competition at the National Games, he took a fancy to your daughter, Liping! Now, he really wants to make friends with Liping, no, not just to make friends, he wants to fall in love with her! Therefore, he entrusted my father to help from it, and specially transferred Liping from the county seat to the provincial capital. Look at thisββ? β
Speaking of this, Hao Min deliberately stopped talking and stared at Zhang Xueru to see how he reacted.
"Oh, is there such a thing? Yes, yes! Just, how do you think I can help? β
After Zhang Xueru heard Hao Min's words, he was so happy that he wanted to celebrate with his hands.
However, after all, he has been in society for decades, and he knows what to do, in front of whom, and when to control himself.
He saw that Hao Min had a pleading expression on his face, and felt that he could not appear rash in front of this young man, so he tried to control his excitement and replied without hurry.
"Uncle Zhang, in fact, in this matter, you don't need to do anything, you just need to agree to Mengdu and Liping in love. Also, when Dream is pursuing Liping, you can create more opportunities for them to have more contact with them, so that's it! β
"Ah, that's no problem. Mengdu wants to pursue Liping and want to fall in love with her, and I completely agree! However, now that it's free love, I can't force Liping to fall in love with Mengdu, right? It depends on what the dream does by itself. β
Zhang Xueru replied to Hao Min in a mysterious way.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, just have your words, the dream must be very happy! As for Mengdu's side, Uncle Zhang can rest assured, Dream will go all out to chase Liping, and will do everything possible to let Liping understand him and like him. Of course, I'm going to try to help make this good happen! β
"Oh, that's good, that's good! I hope that my dreams will come true. β
Zhang Xueru smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang! Look, do you want to go out for a late-night snack? To tell you the truth, Mengdu is still waiting for my good news in the living room! I'll invite you to supper with Mengdu. β
Hao Min said happily to Zhang Xueru.
"What do you say, dreams are in the living room? Why don't you invite him in? β
Hearing that the mayor's son, or perhaps his future son-in-law, was in the living room of the Hao family, Zhang Xueru stared at Hao Min with some surprise and some affection.
"Oh, Uncle Zhang, isn't this going to talk about Mengdu and Liping? He is afraid that you will have a different opinion, so he does not dare to come in easily. Alright now, Uncle Zhang, you've agreed! I'll invite you to supper with Yumedu! β
Hao Min once again sent an invitation to Zhang Xueru for supper.
"Well, it's not half past nine, and I haven't digested my dinner that night! I'm not going to go for supper. You are young, you and Dream are going to be chic. β
Originally, Zhang Xueru wanted Hao Min to go to the living room and invite Mengdu to come and sit. But he thought about it, as an elder, he couldn't be too urgent in front of his juniors, especially in front of his possible and future son-in-law, so Zhang Xueru smiled and declined Hao Min's invitation.
"Then ββ, I'll take my leave? I want to report your good news to Mengdu immediately, so that he can enjoy the happiness you bring him in the fastest time! β
Hao Min said and stood up from the couch.
"Oh, go, go. Have fun and have fun tonight! β
Zhang Xueru also got up from the sofa opposite and looked at Hao Min's thin, wise face lovingly.
Hao Min bowed respectfully to Zhang Xueru and said:
"Uncle Zhang, today, you have been on the train for a long time, and you have helped Liping report to the Provincial Sports Commission, and now it must be very hard! Rest early. I'm going to report the good news to Mengdu! β
After speaking, Hao Min happily exited the guest room, and walked away with the door in a happy mood.
Haha, what Hao Min said just now completely confirmed what Director Hao said yesterday, "Maybe the mayor's son has taken a fancy to your daughter." β
It turns out that Director Hao's words are not groundless!
It seems that I, Zhang Xueru, really want to marry Mayor Wang in the provincial capital!
Our Zhang family is going to turn over completely!
After Hao Min left, Zhang Xueru snickered happily and paced around the room until the second half of the night.
After that, Zhang Xueru went to bed, fell asleep, and woke up laughing in the middle of the night.
