Chapter 15: Gentle and frugal, hiding a knife in his sleeve
Jianguomen North Street, a club fitness center, Li Zhijin narrowed his slender eyes and was silent, this has fully expressed her dissatisfaction with the girl of the Li family with an excellent temper, and the object of her dissatisfaction, an aunt-level woman who is wearing earplugs on the treadmill and listening to the symphony, is very calm, after a few minutes, got off the treadmill, and chatted with the personal trainer about the personal file that tracked her various indicators, and then smiled at Li Zhijin What's wrong, Jinzi, my aunt just asked him to find a way to enter the China Resources Building, You feel sorry for him? The girl who got married is the water that spilled out, and this is just the beginning of the blind date, and the elbow turned out? The signs are not right. Li Zhijin smiled bitterly and said with an uncle, can't you change the way to investigate Zhao Jiadi? The aunt changed out of casual sportswear, changed into a graceful lady's clothes, and pulled her niece to the cigar on the top floor, she didn't smoke or drink, she was good at this one, there was a private cigar cabinet of hers, which stored a lot of good things that were not common on the market, she sat lazily, put on a solemn sitting posture, spit out a puff of smoke, and chuckled The old lady doesn't always say that I have a small belly and chicken intestines, and my aunt really doesn't deny it, since that little guy is the eldest son of Zhao Taizu, he has a little bit of a small treasury and small connections, if he can't get in here, How will I feed my brocade in the future? I advised him to go home as soon as possible, so as not to be an eyesore to our house. Li Zhijin frowned tightly and raised his voice and said Auntie, am I talking to someone or are you talking? The woman who has a good temperament in the posture and said with a smile that her aunt can't eat tender grass, although she is at the age of a wolf and a tiger, and your second uncle is not very good at that, but the young man is mostly not good at technology, relying on his hard body, he will be brutal and boring. Li Zhijin turned his head and sulked. After many family members got together this time, she took the initiative to ask Ying to take the lead, and even the old lady who had always been unpleasant to her agreed, Li Zhijin knew what these elders were doing, and her aunt, who was an executive at Morgan, was the most spicy and mean, of course, it didn't make people feel unreasonable, it was quite suitable for outsiders, Li Zhijin's mobile phone rang, it was Zhao Jiadi, he said that he had entered the building, and asked where they were, Li Zhijin said that the cigar on the fourth floor was relieved. The young woman looked at the subtle changes in her daughter's expression, shook her head with a smile, spit out a puff of cigarette, her eyes were misty, for a woman of her level, from the body to the jīng god, she was fully released, the man is forty-one flowers, and the woman with a good family background is forty also has a special taste, knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to observe words and views, and the stunned young people are reckless, and they will really have no bones.
Zhao Jia didn't like this club as soon as he entered the door, because it was too similar to Wang Fangfei's taste, classical American style, dark brown sè Thai glaze, hanging a very decorated oil painting, no wonder Wang Fangfei liked to choose here instead of the rest of the top clubs, the location was temporarily chosen by Li Zhijin's aunt Wei Mei, Zhao Jiadi came out of the courtyard only to know that it was near Jianguomen, just now outside can only call Wang Fangfei first, with the fall of the Jinhai Empire, This vase with the most connotation in Jinhai is much more low-key, it should have been instructed and beaten by Zhao Sanjin, and the defection of her younger brother Huang Ruiyang also made her ambitious very sad, after this catastrophe, the relationship between Zhao Jiadi and Zhao Jiadi was soothed, and the voice on the phone was obviously a little more sincere and warm than before, Wang Fangfei is a frequent visitor to this club, so it is not difficult for Zhao Jiadi to walk sideways. When the cigars arrived, Li Zhijin was already waiting at the door, Zhao Jiadi sat down and handed over a box of Cuban cigars that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I heard that you like to collect cigars, so I brought you a box." ”
This box of cigars has no brand, pure handmade, from the hands of an old Cuban man with forty years of experience in making eggplants, Wei Mei, a young woman who has not gotten up and has no expression, is not polite, opened the inconspicuous box, sniffed, and then his face sè slowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Very good cigars, the cost of the road is more expensive than cigars." ”
Zhao Jiadi said frankly: "It's Zhijin's reference opinion, I don't understand this, I can't smoke cigars." ”
The young woman laughed and said, "Think this is too pretend?" I used to clean up the room when I accidentally saw Jinzi's rì notebook, there are a lot of your speech records, you said that you are most unaccustomed to those who drink a wine and drink jīng Ying to drink a sense of superiority, really have the ability to go to Bordeaux to build a winery by yourself, make your own wine, not sell, that is called the real pretending B, so, just now Auntie was thinking, the first time we met here, will it make you uncomfortable, Auntie is afraid to give you the first impression of a pretending B. ”
Li Zhijin glared at his aunt, who was unmoved, staring straight at Zhao Jiadi in the hot water.
Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said calmly: "I mean that there is not much money, people like my aunt who earn a lot of money by themselves, smoke a pack of cigarettes for more than ten yuan a day, and smoking cigars is a very legitimate hobby." ”
The young woman's body leaned forward subconsciously, her eyes were meaningful, she didn't delve into this topic, she shifted to another more inappropriate question, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Zhao, I heard that you have a younger brother, who will take over from your family in the future?" Auntie just finished watching a film called "The King's Speech" yesterday, and the relationship between the two brothers in it is very strange. How are you getting along with your half-brother? ”
Zhao Jiadi said calmly: "I don't get along well with my brother, I shouldn't take over, I don't have a talent for making money, unlike Auntie, I have read your evaluation report in Morgan, it's very jīng彩." ”
The young woman's body leaned back on the sofa, and a face that was not beautiful but sharp was hidden behind the clouds and mist, a little blurred, and she said slowly: "Xiao Zhao, you like Jinzi very much, how much do you like it?" ”
Zhao Jiadi smiled: "I only like her as a person." ”
Li Zhijin smiled slightly, turned his head, and didn't look at his aunt's somewhat stunned face, it was too vivid.
The young woman, Wei Meipi, smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, are there any uncleaned weeds outside?" Don't be clear and bring it into the Li family, we can't rub sand in our eyes, and we don't want Jinzi to suffer a little grievance. ”
Explicit and straightforward.
It is worthy of being a shopping mall rather than a watertight corner of the political arena.
Zhao Jiadi said indifferently: "I won't let Zhijin be wronged." ”
The young woman seemed to be smiling, put the cigar between her fingers on the table, got up and left, did not take the box of meeting gifts given by Zhao Jiadi, and said lightly: "If you want to catch a banquet, you two young people will not be delayed chatting." ”
The only cigars left were Zhao Jiadi, who survived the first round of the Hongmen Banquet, and Li Zhijin, who was cramped, and the latter whispered: "I'm sorry, my aunt is a knife with a knife mouth and a knife heart, and she can't change it." ”
Zhao Jiadi laughed softly: "I'm mentally prepared, I can bear it." Which heroes will I meet next? ”
Li Zhijin said helplessly: "I'm going to see my second brother's family in the evening and have a meal together, but don't worry this time, the second brother's family of three is very talkative, and the meeting is also private, it has nothing to do with our blind date, just sit together and chat." ”
Zhao Jiadi naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, but he didn't show it, stretched his waist, and asked, "What do you say about lunch and afternoon?" ”
Li Zhijin said with a smile: "If you have no opinion, just eat here, and you can watch it on the 29th floor in the afternoon." ”
Zhao Jiadi nodded and said, "I'm free to do this." ”
After lunch together, Li Zhijin took Zhao Jiadi to the reading room, Zhao Jiadi picked an English economic masterpiece, while reading it silently, for Zhao Jiadi, who is aiming at the National Development and Reform Commission, spoken English is the biggest obstacle, and now he is making up for it every day, before the English test took duck eggs, it does not mean that he does not know English, on the contrary, in the field of economic theory, English is undoubtedly the mainstream, but Zhao Jiadi's spoken language is indeed miserable, temporarily cramming, how much can be held, Li Zhijin took the book absent-mindedly, sat beside him, all looking at him, Zhao Jiadi smiled and said Wait for me to be tired, is it your turn to see me to see you? Li Zhijin said with a smile, that feeling is good. As a result, one afternoon, Zhao Jiadi read and read into a daze, and completely left Li Zhijin in the cold, until Li Zhijin received a call from the second brother, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, out of the club, Li Zhijin drove her small broken car, Zhao Jiadi drove 6, she led the way to a shopping mall, the restaurant is on the third floor, from the decoration to the price is very ordinary, and the head of the family of three has long been waiting at the entrance of the first floor of the shopping mall. Probably a man who is quick to act and speak, with a standard Chinese face, he is a good person at first glance, seeing Zhao Jiadi taking the initiative to shake hands, a little Zhao shouted out from his mouth and Wei Meina is a world of difference, when he arrived at the restaurant, he saw Li Ne's wife and children, Zhao Jiadi was dumbfounded, isn't this the mother and son I saw in the small park of Wukesong No. 1 Dry Rest House? The little guy who cries his nose and plays with the Rubik's Cube, an elegant young woman with a small and delicate body, and the emotional world is so small? The happiest is the barbarian, sitting at the dining table did not forget to practice the Rubik's Cube hard, as soon as he saw the fate of the side, he taught himself the master of the world's martial arts, he was so excited that he couldn't do it, and took the initiative to ask to sit next to Zhao Jiadi to learn the scriptures, but this meal was completely nothing about Li Zhijin and her brother and sister-in-law, Li Zhijin's sister-in-law Song Qiongying is a very beautiful child of a family, and finally caught a son gobbling up the gap without speaking, and interjected and smiled: "Xiao Zhao, I heard that you are very good at chess, and it has been spread all over Wukesong." Li Ne is an amateur, and you have time to learn from each other. ”
Zhao Jiadi said briskly: "Okay." ”
Li Ne smiled: "I mean to bring humiliation on myself." ”
The little guy said very sincerely: "Dad, your stinky chess basket, it's not a shame to lose to Brother Zhao." ”
Li Ne smiled slightly and touched his son's head, full of doting.
The young woman gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of her son's mouth, glared at her husband, who never knew how to be a competent parent, turned her head to look at her son and said with a smile: "You know that you are arrogant with your father, and your little girlfriend was robbed of in kindergarten, and I didn't see you to ask for an explanation, so I only dared to cry secretly on the way home." ”
The little guy who was exposed blushed.
Zhao Jiadi fanned the flames and said: "Barbarian, this is not right, you have been robbed of your daughter-in-law, you have to fight with your rival, and if you can't fight, go home and cry to your parents, let them support you." ”
Li Ne smiled bitterly. The young woman was quite appreciative.
The little guy looked up and said cautiously: "I can't beat it, that little fat man is strong, and his arms are thicker than my legs." ”
Zhao Jiadi smiled and asked, "Then your girlfriend is still willing to empathize and say goodbye?" ”
The little guy sighed bitterly and said, "She said that the little fat man's father is a director, and he is older than my father's official, so she went to be friends with the little fat man." Alas. ”
Zhao Jiadi can only sigh that the little girl now is really amazing.
The young woman was far more talkative than her husband, and said with just the right amount of pride in her words: "Two days ago, the kindergarten teacher intercepted a letter from a barbarian to a new girlfriend, Xiao Zhao, guess what did our barbarian write?" ”
The little guy said shyly and angrily: "Mom, don't say it!" ”
The young woman ignored her son's protest and said with a happy smile: "Xiaoqing, there are three things I am most happy about, the third is that I found money on the road, the second is to get the little red flower, the first is to be able to hold your hand and slide the slide together, and you are my wife when I play at home." ”
A few adults have fun together, and the little guy can't wait to dig a hole in the ground.
When they were separated, the little guy asked Zhao Jiadi for a mobile phone number very solemnly, saying that his mother promised to buy him a mobile phone when he was ten years old, and he would save the number when the time came. In the evening, Zhao Jiadi had just arrived at the courtyard to clean up the room for Wang Banjin, who had moved part of the collection, when he received a strange phone call with a mellow voice, saying that he was Zhijin's uncle and would meet him tomorrow. Of course, Zhao Jiadi had no reason to refuse, but the meeting place gave Zhao Jia a headache for the first time, the assistant minister's office of the minister of commerce, this is your mother, don't take such a home advantage to oppress people, going to the Club of America is a matter of a membership card, but in this assistant minister's office, you have a fart with a hundred cards. Wang Banjin, who had just relocated the small half of the booty, saw Zhao Jiadi holding his mobile phone and didn't speak, gloating and said that he was dumbfounded, asking for his own hardship, Li Zhijin is so easy to marry? I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place. Zhao Jiadi sat on a chair and smoked a cigarette, Wang Banjin mischievously smashed a meat stocking on Zhao Jiadi's head, and said that he would give Xiao Ba a little more bad luck, maybe Jitai would come. Zhao Jiadi was out of sight and out of mind, threw the stockings back to the bed, and went to the room to meditate on the layout, that day Wang Banjin was estimated to be moving to toss the jīng qi and spirit, no sāo disturbed Zhao Jiadi, who was already bleak and bumpy enough, Zhao Jiadi got up early in the morning, played a set of punches, went out to buy breakfast and shouted Wang Banjin to get up, only to see a long leg hanging outside the quilt, she hugged the quilt tightly, her slender figure was exposed, Zhao Jiadi shouted to get up and eat, Wang Banjin did not move, Zhao Jia opened the curtain first, Wang Banjin, who was still hiding in the quilt, screamed, Aren't you afraid that your sister's chūn light will be spied on? Zhao Jiadi sneered and said If you don't get up again, I will throw you on the street with the quilt. Wang Banjin retracted his beautiful legs into the quilt even harder, shouting that sleeping is so happy, happy and happy, the class is so terrible, Zhao Jiadi walked over, ripped the quilt off her, and moved it to her room, sure enough, Wang Banjin sat down at the table angrily after ten minutes, stuffed a xiaolongbao into his mouth, and puffed up, Zhao Jiadi was indifferent, and went out after eating his share, běijīng The traffic jam was too violent, and it was safe to set off early, Li Yingping was a difficult master, Compared with this young and Zhuang official of the Communist Youth League who will be sent to local provinces and cities to be feudal officials in the next three years, Li Zhijin's aunt's snarky words are really trivial, Zhao Jiadi's front foot has not stepped out of the threshold of the courtyard, Wang Banjin rushed out with a xiaolongbao in his mouth, and he will take the subway to work after moving the nest, Zhao Jiadi smiled and reminded him not to be rubbed with oil by the salty pig's hand, Wang Banjin made a signature action of kicking the crotch, and went to work enchantingly.
Zhao Jiadi opened 6 steadily, and his mind was full of Li Yingping's brilliant resume and recent public event speeches. For the sons of the red sè, the rise curve of their officialdom is full of unparalleled "beauty", because it is so steadily rising that it is pale and empty, and there is no suspense.
It is not easy to live in Chang'an, and there are no idlers in the officialdom.
Zhao Jiadi was in a trance when he walked into the Ministry of Commerce.
For no reason, I remembered the heartfelt words of Chen Jing, who cultivated wild fox Zen: "When I look at her world, it is like looking at the yang world between yīn!" ”
Walk through the floors, walk through the rooms.
Behind every nameplate hung is a myriad of stories and struggles.
Finally arrived outside Li Yingping's office, and knocked on the door of the secretary who was in charge of bringing Zhao Jiadi here.
Li Yingping was a burly and handsome middle-aged man, sitting behind the table and looking at Zhao Jiadi.
Scrutinizing eyes.
But what made Zhao Jiadi even more incredible was that after the uncle asked the secretary to pour Zhao Jiadi a glass of boiled water, he got up and said: "There is a temporary meeting, you sit for a while, and eat together in the canteen of the ministry at noon." ”
That's it, Zhao Jiadi waited for nearly three hours, and the secretary who received the phone said apologetically: "Assistant Li accompanied Minister Gao to inspect the work, and he may not come back before getting off work at night, do you continue to wait or?" ”
Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "Just wait a little longer." ”
Zhao Jiadi believed a rumor in the circle, the aura of this assistant minister is more than that of the minister, so much so that he went to a coastal province and city two years ago and made a big joke, a local leader who was eager to show enthusiasm but unfortunately had poor eyesight did not be the first to shake hands with the minister after seeing the group, but shook the hand of the assistant minister with a full face, which became a joke.
In the end, Zhao Jiadi waited for an afternoon and couldn't wait for Li Yingping, so he had to leave the office building with the secretary who had been chatting from time to time for most of the day.
After sending Zhao Jiadi out, he turned around and returned to the office, dialed the phone and said softly: "He's gone." During this period, I was looking through the book "Thirteen Lectures on Ancient Poems" in your cabinet, and I read it very slowly, especially because you were very careful in your comments in the blank space. ”
There was an oh on the other end of the phone, and he hung up.
