Chapter 276: Lantern Festival

Guo Zhengde has not had a good time in Qingteng recently.

Since he broke through to the mortal realm, there have been rumors in the academy, some saying that he will inevitably be promoted this time, and some saying that he will be the next director of the posterior security department, etc.

These are nothing, the most exaggerated is the rumor that he will be promoted to the head of the Academy.

At first, Guo Zhengde scoffed at these rumors, and at the same time adhered to his own principles of dealing with the world, and kept a lower profile in everything.

However, the tree is very popular, and this is true.

No matter how Guo Zhengde hides, rumors will always come to his door.

During this time, somehow, rumors that he would be promoted to the next president of the Instrument Academy became more and more popular, and the head of the analysis was Dao.

The rumor is that the school committee is already reviewing Guo Zhengde's resume, first of all, the realm, the realm of mortals, although it is only a newcomer to the realm of mortals, but Guo Zhengde is not a little younger than the other two, and it is very valuable to enter the realm of mortals at this age.

Secondly, although Guo Zhengde is still young, he is not inexperienced. He has acted as the vice president of the Academy, so he has made up for this shortcoming, and is more familiar with the Academy than the other two.

The most important thing is that among the four colleges, the Institute generates the most income for Qingteng every year, and the projects involved are also very extensive, and it urgently needs a dean who understands finance and business to take office. In this regard, Guo Zhengde is clearly stronger than the other two.

When Guo Zhengde first heard this rumor, he even believed it a little.

If the rumors are still only spread in private, it is nothing, the key is that because of the rampant rumors, some of the people who originally voted for the other two candidates turned against Guo Zhengde.

This made Guo Zhengde, who originally wanted to keep a low profile, very passive, and although he politely rejected all of them for the time being, the behavior of these people already meant that he declared war on the other two candidates.

As a result, some overt and covertly behaviors against him emerged one after another.

Guo Zhengde thinks that he has been able to sit upright all these years, but he is no match for the villain's deception, and in the last few days, he has been repeatedly calculated in his work, and the teacher office is clearly showing great hostility to the back office.

Guo Zhengde threw the copywriting in his hand on the table in the office, and said to his subordinates with some excitement, "What's the matter? Didn't this copy pass?"

Guo Zhengde looked a little cramped at this time.

Another older subordinate explained, "Section Chief, this is indeed the case, when this copy was first reported to the school committee, it was the director of the Academic Affairs Office who was on duty, and the director also signed it at that time. But now that this copy is about to be implemented, it has caught up with the director of the faculty department who is on duty in the school committee, and he directly stopped our action."

"Why?"

The young subordinate boldly said, "The people below said that they would find Director Duan for approval again, but Director Duan read the copy and asked, the director has already approved, should he approve or not, not approving this is disrespectful to the director, if he approves it, he didn't sign it, who should be responsible for the problem in the end?"

"Damn, I'm starting to talk about ...... again" Guo Zhengde, who usually pays attention to self-cultivation, couldn't help but scold after hearing this.

In the end, it was the old subordinate who spoke: "Section Chief, if you want me to say, this Director Duan is just embarrassing our section, and it's not because it is rumored outside that you are going to take up the post of Instrument Academy......

Guo Zhengde interrupted the old subordinate with his eyes, "Okay, you guys go down, I'll think of a way again."

After the two subordinates left, Guo Zhengde sat down a little tired.

Now the director of the post-security department is about to retire and is in a semi-retired state, basically not doing anything, and the affairs of the department are also tacitly handled by him, the chief of the financial section.

Originally, according to Guo Zhengde's plan, it was the best to be promoted to the director of the post-security department this time, neither publicity, but also steady.

It's just at this time that such a rumor popped up......

Guo Zhengde rubbed his temples, looking a little exhausted.

"Forget it, go home first."

Guo Zhengde saw that it was not early, so he went home.

return

When Guo Zhengde arrived in the mansion, he found that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right.

When it came to dinner, Guo Zhengde didn't see his wife Tian Rui, "Wenhui, where is Madame?"

Wen Hui is Tian Rui's personal maid, Tian Rui followed her when she was still married, even Guo Zhengde is usually more polite to her.

It's just that today's state of Wen Hui doesn't seem right, and there is a bit of resentment in her words.

"Madame said she wasn't hungry."

After saying that, Wen Hui was about to turn around and leave, but this sentence angered Guo Zhengde.

was already entangled in various things in the college, and when he returned home, he was slapped by a maid, no matter how good Guo Zhengde's temper was, he couldn't help but get angry.

"Come back! Who are you talking to?"

Guo Zhengde's words were stern, although he didn't say anything cruel, but the momentum exuded by the martial artists of the mortal realm in an instant also frightened Wen Hui.

Because Guo Zhengde usually pays great attention to self-cultivation in the house, he rarely loses his temper with his subordinates, let alone the personal maid of a lady like Wen Hui.

Wen Hui's pear blossoms brought rain, and Guo Zhengde realized that he was a little out of shape.

"Okay, stop crying, what the hell is going on?"

Wen Huiqiang couldn't hold back her crying and said, "Master, it's okay if you're usually busy, you don't go back to the house early to accompany your wife today."

Guo Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he and Tian Rui met today ten years ago.

At that time, I caught up with the annual lantern festival in Pear Blossom Lane in Lieyang City, and on this day every year, Pear Blossom Lane gathered literati and artists from all over the city, talented and beautiful women, and naturally there would be a love story.

This is how the love between the two began.

"It's the Lantern Festival again...... Why did I forget this......" Guo Zhengde blamed himself a little, in previous years, even if he was busy, Guo Zhengde would spare half a day to accompany Tian Rui to enjoy the lanterns in Pear Blossom Lane.

But during this time, Guo Zhengde was so entangled in messy things that he forgot about such an important matter.

Guo Zhengde didn't explain, but asked, "Madame is angry?"

"Can you not be angry? Do you know what happened at today's lantern festival?"

Guo Zhengde was stunned, is it an ordinary lantern viewing party, what else can happen?

"Madame knows that you are busy during this time, so she asked me to accompany her to enjoy the lanterns. At the Lantern Festival, I met Director Duan's wife, Li Shi, and Dean Yang's wife, Pang Shi."

"You mean...... Director Duan Zhenbiao and Dean Yang Fang of the Faculty Office?"

"It's their wife, and a few other ladies, who enjoy the lantern festival together. Madame didn't have much to do with them, so she was going to leave after a polite greeting."

Guo Zhengde nodded, Tian Rui is generally knowledgeable, and she rarely goes to any messy lady's meetings, and often keeps a proper distance from those ladies.

"But they don't give up, so they have to recite poems with their wives."

"Poetry?"

It is very common to chant poems at lantern festivals, and often there is no difference between men and women at this time, Guo Zhengde and Tian Rui met in a "poetry fight", and fell in love.

"Yes, with Madame's talent, which of those people will be Madame's opponents. But those ladies are not stupid, they let their literati and inkmen fight with their wives."

Hearing this, Guo Zhengde didn't notice anything abnormal, after all, this kind of cultural fighting is still very popular in Lieyang City, especially in Pear Blossom Lane. And there is no right or wrong in the text, often this kind of "fighting poetry" is the behavior of everyone to adjust the atmosphere and enhance friendship.

"What's wrong? Did anything unpleasant happen during the poem?"

"How can it be pleasant, those people don't want to fight with Madame at all, every poem alludes to you, master!"

"Alluding to me? Implication of me what?"

"I don't dare to say it, listen to it yourself."

"At that time, Madame pointed to the lantern festival in the distance and made a poem: "I want to be poor and go to the next level." , and the opposite side of the sentence ......"

"What?"

"It's ridiculous that a mayfly shakes a tree

Don't measure yourself!"

Wen Hui has been by Tian Rui's side all the year round, as the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Wen Hui is also very talented, so he naturally heard the meaning implied in the poem.

However, Guo Zhengde was silent after hearing this, and after a while, he said lightly: "This literati is not right with some words."

"Sir! You still pay attention to whether people are right or not, he doesn't want to do poetry well at all, he just wants to ridicule his wife! It's clearly saying that you ......."

"Okay, I see, you go down and rest."

"By the way, take the rice down and warm it, and I'll send it to Madame's room later." Guo Zhengde was able to laugh calmly at this time.

When Wen Hui withdrew from the room, Guo Zhengde's face became gloomy.

"I don't care if I'm embarrassed everywhere in the academy, and I even bullied my wife! I really am Guo Zhengde, you can handle it at will!"

At this time, the room was filled with the powerful aura of the mortal realm!
