Chapter 65: The Puzzle
There is not much work in the unit, but it is very trivial, and it is always inseparable from people, and it was busy for two days, until Friday afternoon, Zhou Jing was empty, opened the drawer, took out the envelope containing 10,000 yuan, put it in the jacket pocket, instructed Xiao Liu a few words, and pushed the door away.
The money was taken from Zheng Xiuzhen's hand, so it was only good to return it to her, so as not to make the matter public, embarrassing Qin Xiaoming's brothers and sisters, after going downstairs, Zhou Jing pushed the bicycle out of the yard, and rode up slowly, heading in the direction of No. 3 Middle School.
The weather outside is very little, the sun is shining on the body, warmly, Zhou Jing whistled, rode the bicycle fast, less than half an hour of effort, came to the door of the third middle school, and after greeting the old man of the guard, he pushed the cart in.
The teaching building of No. 3 Middle School was built more than ten years ago, the exterior wall is mottled, and in some places, even the red bricks inside have been exposed, and the field is also uneven, and dozens of junior high school students are lining up, under the leadership of the physical education teacher, jogging around the field.
Zhou Jing put the bicycle into the carport, slowly walked into the teaching building, and after going up to the second floor, he looked in from window to window, and saw that the classroom was also shabby, whether it was a lectern desk, or other teaching utensils, compared with No. 1 Middle School, it looked extremely shabby.
When he walked to the door of the fifth class of the second and fifth junior high school, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stopped, and through the glass window on the door, he happened to see Zheng Xiuzhen, who was wearing a black and translucent bun on her head, with a delicate hairpin in her ears.
She wore a white shirt with lace on her upper body, her full breasts and slender waist, a light blue one-step skirt on her lower body, slender and well-proportioned beautiful legs, white transparent stockings, and black stiletto leather sandals on her small feet.
Zhou Jing didn't knock on the door, but stood by the door, admiring her lecture, this woman can be regarded as a natural stunner, with her gestures, full of the unique charm of a young woman, especially a pair of eyes, looking forward to the brilliance, always discharging, making people feel flustered.
Zheng Xiuzhen didn't realize it, she concentrated on the English class, she put the textbook on the podium, walked to the blackboard, took the chalk and brushed on it, and soon wrote dozens of words, then dropped the chalk, picked up the whip, pointed to the English words on the blackboard, and led the students to read aloud: "meet, family, read, same"
A few minutes later, Zheng Xiuzhen finally noticed that there was someone outside the door, turned her head to look at it twice, smiled, waved her hand to Zhou Jing, and then called a girl in the front row and asked her to read the text aloud with everyone, while she put down the whip and walked out quickly.
"Director Zhou, why are you here?" Zheng Xiuzhen pursed her lips and smiled, touched her hair with her hand, and said softly.
Zhou Jing smiled, took out the envelope containing the money from the pocket of his jacket, handed it over, and said straight to the point: "Teacher Zheng, that's the case, I found the money in the tea, so I quickly sent it back to you." ”
Zheng Xiuzhen was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she waved her hand and said: "Director Zhou, this was originally given to you, ask someone to do something, how can there be no reason to spend money, the two of us are just starting out now, we don't have any savings, although this money is less, but it is a little heart, you must accept it." ”
"No, Mr. Zheng, I resolutely can't accept this money, and if I do, I will make a mistake." Zhou Jing hurriedly took her white and tender little hand and stuffed the envelope into her slippery palm, but Zheng Xiuzhen refused to accept it, and the two of them went back and forth and pushed by the door.
At this time, the sound of reading in the classroom became a little scattered, many students put down their books, stood by the desk, looked out, Zheng Xiuzhen blushed, stuffed the envelope back into Zhou Jing's pocket, and said nervously: "Director Zhou, otherwise, you go to the office to sit down first, and when the class is over, let's talk again, so as not to be seen." ”
Zhou Jing was also afraid that someone would find out and the impact would not be good, so he nodded, followed her, came upstairs, and entered an office, where there were only three or four teachers, scattered at the desk, talking softly.
Zheng Xiuzhen let Zhou Jing to her desk, poured him a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, wait a minute, class will be out in ten minutes." ”
"Okay, Mr. Zheng, you just have to get busy." Zhou Jing smiled slightly, waved his hand, and watched her go out, then turned around, picked up the cup, drank water, and listened to the chatter of several people in the room.
"It's really unbelievable, the teaching building of the fourth middle school was built last year, what's going on with our third middle school, the report has been typed for more than a year, why is there no movement at all!"
"That can't be compared, how hard the relationship between the principal of the fourth middle school is, and the leaders of the city are familiar with it, and Director Hao of the Education Bureau is still an iron buddy, what's the good thing not to catch first?"
"What I'm saying is that in the junior high school in Qingyang City, it's useless to count our three middle schools, and a few principals can't get it up, this Principal Xu is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and he manages us well, and when we go out, we can't do anything!"
"I said, don't be foolish with a few of you, the new teaching building will definitely be built, in fact, the leaders of the people are more anxious than us, build a building, I don't know how many people want to make a fortune, we can't make it, follow what the hell!"
"You can't say that, come to work every day, who doesn't want the environment to be better, this building is too broken, it rained a few days ago, the roof of the classroom leaked, spilled everywhere, and there was no way to go to class at all!"
"It's just that it's long overdue, and taking classes in such an environment will affect the mood!"
Several teachers in the office were talking about it, Zhou Jing listened for a long time, couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up a tube of pens, wrote on the paper, just wrote a few lines, the mobile phone rang suddenly, he looked at the number, saw that it was Gao Yuan calling, hurriedly connected, and said softly: "Hey, Gao Dami, hello." ”
Gao Yuan stood by the window and asked with a smile, "Brother, is there any arrangement for tomorrow night?" ”
Zhou Jing shook his head and smiled: "No, what's the matter, there is an activity?" ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a friend who has a treat and wants to bring you along, so as not to be bombarded by them and unable to parry." ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said softly: "Okay, then go over and help you block the wine." ”
Gao Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not affordable, in fact, it's just a few friends who do business, and I want to make friends with you, the big director, I'm just a matchmaker, you are the real host and guest." ”
"Want to befriend me?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Senior Secretary, don't be kidding, you know, my department is a Qingshui Yamen, and there is no oil and water to fish, how can these people think of befriending me?" ”
Gao Yuan smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said: "There are some things, it's better to say them in person, Director Zhou, these people are all rich people in our Qingyang, and they are also very familiar with Mayor Wang. ”
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with this sentence, because Gao Yuan said too vaguely, and the implication seemed to be that Deputy Mayor Wang Yannian was greeting him, I don't know if this is really the case, or if this senior secretary took advantage of his position to pull the tiger skin as a banner and play with him.
In fact, the greatest convenience of being a secretary is that he often does things under the sign of the leader, and the people below must not ask the leader in person for the sake of face and unspoken rules, and dare not find out the matter, so most of them will listen to the secretary's greeting.
Some secretaries are bold, often because of this, break the rules, put the leader in a dilemma, in the past few years, because the secretary made a mistake, the leader into the water is not uncommon.
Zhou Jing felt a little unsure, so he asked again: "Senior Secretary, what is the matter, can you reveal it in advance?" ”
Gao Yuan hesitated, nodded and said: "That's the case, didn't Jinghu Group come to our Qingyang to invest, to build such a large production base, but it is a huge project, these bosses want to participate when they hear the rumors, even if they can't take the main project, even if they get a little scraps, they can feed them." ”
Zhou Jing was displeased, but he didn't attack on the spot, but fiddled with the pen and asked quietly: "Secretary Gao, does Mayor Wang know about this matter?" ”
Gao Yuan paused, touched his chin, and said very artistically: "Mayor Wang didn't say hello, but these people have a very good relationship with him, and they often get together on weekends, and they also heard about the Jinghu Group's investment in Qingyang, everyone knows that you are a person on Mayor Wang's line, so naturally you have to take a shortcut. ”
Zhou Jing thought about it and felt that it was not good to refuse directly, so he said euphemistically: "Okay, Secretary Gao, then we will talk about it in detail when we meet, but I want to talk about it in advance, although I am very familiar with Mr. Wei, but it is just a personal relationship, I never ask about the operation of their company, even if I want to help, I may be powerless." ”
Gao Yuan nodded with a smile, and said continuously: "Okay, okay, as long as you can introduce it, whether it can be successful or not, it depends on their respective abilities, then tomorrow at eight o'clock in the evening, let's meet at the Mingcheng nightclub, the private room has been booked, it is the No. 6 Ziyun Hall." ”
"Okay, we'll talk tomorrow night." Zhou Jing took the pen, wrote down the time and address, frowned and walked out of the office, lit a cigarette at the end of the corridor, inhaled it slowly, and secretly wondered, this senior secretary can really have problems, how can he intervene in engineering matters?
However, if this is Wang Yannian's intention, then there is no way, even if he is reluctant, he has to negotiate hard.
After a while, the bell rang for the end of class, Zheng Xiuzhen walked up with the lesson plan, and after she put her things away, she went downstairs with Zhou Jing, and the two walked and chatted on the field.
Zheng Xiuzhen is also very direct, and directly picks out the topic, that is, she wants to spend money to buy a township chief for Qin Xiaoming, if the thing can be done, give Zhou Jing 10,000 yuan as a benefit fee, in addition, the family has prepared 60,000 yuan, ready to hand it over to Secretary-General Cai Sicheng when the time is ripe, if the money is not enough, Qin Xiaoqian can also sponsor some.
When Zhou Jing heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and hurriedly persuaded: "Teacher Zheng, don't be in a hurry, let alone spend money in vain, although this matter is on me, let's do it openly, we don't have to spend a penny, and we can let Director Qin get his wish." ”
Zheng Xiuzhen was skeptical and said in surprise: "Director Zhou, do you really have such a big grasp?" ”
"That's right, it doesn't cost anything to do it." Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, took out the envelope again, handed it over, and said sincerely: "Teacher Zheng, take it back quickly, I'm not a fan of money." ”
Zheng Xiuzhen giggled, took back the envelope, and said softly: "Okay, Director Zhou, then I'll take it first, and if you need anything in the future, just say a word." ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said yes, and after greeting her, he said goodbye and left, walked to the carport, and pushed the bicycle away.
Zheng Xiuzhen took the envelope back to the office, took out the money, counted it, and sure enough, there was not a single one, and she was extremely happy in her heart, she put the money back in her purse, began to clean up the table, and planned to go home early.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a piece of paper, and he saw that it read: "At eight o'clock tomorrow night, we will meet at the Mingcheng Nightclub, No. 6 Ziyun Hall." ”
Zheng Xiuzhen blushed, turned her head to look around, then hurriedly tore off the paper, folded it, and put it in her purse, she frowned and walked to the window, stunned for a while, stretched out her white and tender little hand, touched her feverish cheeks, and stammered: "This Director Xiao Zhou can really have problems, so how can it be done!" ”
