"Yo, you're back?" Seeing the three of them coming back, Cao Zhiqiang took the first step and greeted the three women with a smile.

"Brother!" Qiao Simei shouted first, and casually put the net bag she was holding on the ground, and then quickly ran over, holding one of Cao Zhiqiang's arms with a smile, "Brother, are you awake?" ”

"yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "Not long after I woke up, why didn't you call me at noon?" ”

"It's not like you're sleeping too deeply, and I want you to sleep more." Qiao Simei said with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang nodded again, and then said to Mrs. Chen: "Sister-in-law, went out to buy something?" ”

"yes." Mrs. Chen walked over and said with a smile, "I've thought about it, don't you want to see Simei's father, you always have to take something, otherwise how ugly it will be empty-handed?" But you didn't let us buy it in the capital, saying that it was inconvenient to take a plane. ”

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "The plane is not as good as the train, every bit of weight must be taken into account, if we take a bunch of luggage, it will cost extra money, then it is better to take the passbook directly and take the money, and come here to spend money to buy it."

Anyway, Nanjing is also a big city, and many things can be bought with money. ”

"Not really." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "After lunch, I saw that you hadn't woken up yet, and I thought that there was no way to do this, so I took your two younger sisters to the department store to buy something."

Hey, the department store is not far away, just nearby, what is the name of the Xinjiekou department store, we asked people, and walked there.

Over there, we bought some canned dim sum malt milk essence or something, so that when we went to see Simei's father, we wouldn't be embarrassed empty-handed. ”

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "It's still my sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, how much money is spent, I'll reimburse you." ”

"No, no, no." Mrs. Chen smiled and waved her hand, "It didn't cost much, and we should pay for this money, you can't pay it, if you want to pay it, you will break the rules." ”

"Bad rules?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Jiabang smiled beside him at this time: "Xiao Cao, listen to your sister-in-law, she is right." The reason is very simple, this time we are here to talk about Qiao Simei's adoption, if the negotiation is completed, we will be Qiao Simei's adoptive parents in the future.

According to the rules, this door-to-door salute must be given by us to show respect and solemnity.

If you do it for us, it's child's play, it's not in accordance with the rules.

Even if you say it's nominal, you have to talk about rules in name, right?

So, don't fight with us, that's what we're supposed to do. ”

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll thank my brother and sister-in-law." ”

"You're welcome." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "It's all as it should be." ”

After a pause, Mrs. Chen asked, "Zhiqiang, since you are awake, then look, when are we going to Qiao's house?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang looked at his watch: "I think it's just now, just go over and talk about the situation, and then it's almost time to eat, and then invite them here for a meal, this matter should be about the same." ”

"Okay, now then." Mrs. Chen nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang looked at Mrs. Chen's big bag and small bag, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, don't be in such a hurry, sister-in-law, you drink saliva here first, rest for a while, I'll go to the front desk and ask them to arrange a taxi to take us there." ”

"Still need to arrange a car?" Mrs. Chen was stunned, "No need, right?" Wouldn't it be enough to play three rounds? ”

"How's that going to work?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Sister-in-law, let's go to see Qiao Zuwang this time, well, that is, Simei's father, you must show enough strength to let him know that you value Simei very much, and Simei will live a good life with you."

Therefore, it is also necessary to show off your strength appropriately, otherwise, Simei's father is not easy to speak. ”

Mrs. Chen and Chen Jiabang glanced at each other, and then Chen Jiabang nodded.

Seeing that her man nodded, Mrs. Chen said, "Okay, then listen to you." ”

After that, Cao Zhiqiang asked everyone to rest in the room first, and went to the front desk manager himself and asked them to arrange two taxis, and he wanted to charter a car.

Although Jinling Hotel does not have a taxi business at this time, it is still no problem to help call a taxi.

At this time, there was already a taxi company in NJ City, called NJ City Passenger Car Rental Company, and it was a state-owned enterprise when you heard the name.

It's just that in 1983, there weren't many taxis, even if they were state-owned taxi companies, but there weren't many cars.

Therefore, on the roads of Nanjing in 1983, taxis were actually rare, and the phenomenon of waving and stopping was almost non-existent.

In this period, taxi companies were actually more similar to chartered services, or similar to buses, fixed at airports, railway stations and other transportation hubs.

Of course, units like the Jinling Hotel can also make an appointment with a taxi company by phone.

Generally, for a unit like Jinling Hotel, NJ City Bus Rental Company will not refuse, which is not only a matter of making money, but also a policy issue.

Because Jinling Hotel is a foreign-related hotel, it is likely that foreign businessmen are involved in booking a car in this hotel.

At this time, the country is all foreign-related and no trivial matter, and of course it is taken seriously.

So less than half an hour later, the NJ City Bus Rental Company sent two Nissan Duke cars, the specific models are not clear.

It is said that this is already the company's best luxury car at present, and it is usually used to receive foreign guests.

Not only that, but the driver also wore a suit and white gloves, which looked quite formal.

However, after seeing that the guest was Chinese, the two drivers obviously glanced at each other.

"How?" Chen Jiabang said with a cold face, "Seeing that we are not foreigners, nor are we Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan businessmen, disappointed?" Is it so shameful to serve the Chinese people? ”

As soon as he heard this, the oldest middle-aged driver hurriedly smiled and said: "Where can I be, serving the people is what it should be, the leader you misunderstood." ”

Obviously, he has the biggest faction, Chen Jiabang, as the leader.

Also, Chen Jiabang has been the secretary of state-owned enterprises for more than ten years, and he has some official authority.

Although it is not very visible in front of Cao Zhiqiang, it is because Cao Zhiqiang is in a special situation.

But in the reluctance of outsiders, Chen Jiabang's leadership style is natural, and there is no need to deliberately pretend at all.

Maybe I want to say, what kind of leadership style does the secretary have.

This is wrong, in fact, in this period, the official authority of the leading secretary is no worse than that of the leader himself, and some leading secretaries are even better than the leader.

Because many leaders also want to show their closeness to the people, they must be amiable and down-to-earth.

But the leading secretary, the main thing is to upload and distribute, similar to the ancient Dongchang Jinyiwei, mainly highlighting a fox fake tiger might, so the more the leading secretary, the greater the style, of course, the energy is really big.

During this period, the leading secretary and the leading driver are two kinds of people who cannot be offended.

There is even a saying that it is better to offend the leader than to offend the secretary of the leader.

It is said that it is easy to offend the leader, but if you offend the secretary of the leader, there is often no good fruit to eat.

Because the leading secretary is usually very cautious and has many means, he likes to retaliate the most.

"Forget it." At this time, Mrs. Chen persuaded with a kind face, "Don't embarrass a few masters, they shouldn't mean that." ”

"Humph!" Chen Jiabang snorted coldly, "In the future, if there is such a dog-eyed attitude towards the Chinese people, I will definitely ask your leaders for an explanation!" ”

The two drivers hurriedly nodded and said no.

This little episode, but Cao Zhiqiang was a little stunned, because the two masters didn't say anything just now, but after seeing them, they glanced at each other, why did they provoke Chen Jiabang so much.

But this is not the time to ask these questions, so Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly got into the first car.

got into the car with Cao Zhiqiang, as well as Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, while Chen Jiabang and his wife sat in the car behind.

Although the Duke of Nissan at this time, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, is actually like that, but in this era, this is synonymous with luxury cars, and ordinary leaders can't sit down.

Many people remember the Crown, but in fact, the imported Crown cars of this period are not comparable to the Duke of Nissan in terms of quantity.

The crown car really started to become popular in the country, and that was in the nineties.

In the early eighties, the most popular high-end imported sedan in China was actually the Nissan Duke sedan, and then the rare crown sedan.

Nanjing's bus rental company can send two Nissan Duke cars, which is normal, but if it is a crown, it is a bit abnormal.

But no matter what, being able to sit as Duke Nissan at this time is also a very stylish thing, and you can go back and brag to others.

Visiting the door in the duke's car, in terms of face, has already given enough, and ordinary leaders can't compare.

Under the guidance of Qiao Simei and Cao Lili, the car walked through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a courtyard residential area and stopped.

In fact, the parking spot is not the door of Qiao Zuwang's house, but if you go inside, the car will not be easy to drive, because the alley road is too narrow.

So the car could only stop at the intersection, and then everyone walked into the alley and walked to Qiao Zuwang's house.

As for the two drivers, they can only wait here.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang did not treat them badly, and one person gave a tip of five yuan, which was enough to make them smile.

Even if they are luxury car drivers and well-informed, a five-dollar tip is rare.

In fact, foreign guests who came to China during this period, no matter what the purpose, liked to tip, and often directly gave foreign exchange, such as US dollars and Hong Kong dollars.

However, because taxi drivers and hotel waiters during this period were all employees of state-owned enterprises, they had to hand over tips after receiving them, and they could not keep them privately.

Especially for foreign exchange, you must not keep it yourself, once it is discovered, it is a very serious matter.

Therefore, during this period, even those who receive foreign guests can easily leave foreign exchange, unless you are not a regular unit, or only yourself, and there is no outsider to supervise you.

Therefore, don't look at the two masters who drive luxury cars, foreign guests have also received a lot, and they have collected a lot of tips, in fact, they basically will not accept them privately, they all have to be handed over.

However, if the Chinese give RMB, then it is not a big problem.

It can be said that the five yuan per person Cao Zhiqiang now gives is harder than the five dollars per person tip given by foreigners who come to China.

Because five yuan RMB can be spent by yourself, but the dollar has to be handed over, can the nature be the same?

Just when the group was carrying gifts and walking towards Qiao's house under the guidance of Qiao Simei, Cao Zhiqiang quietly asked Chen Jiabang and asked him why he said that to the two masters before.

After all, Chen Jiabang's impression of Cao Zhiqiang has always been that he doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't like to be prestigious, but this time just because the eyes of the two drivers are not right, he put on an official tone and played majestic, which really made Cao Zhiqiang not quite understand.

"Nothing." Chen Jiabang smiled slightly, "I'm also just in case." ”

"Just in case, what do you mean?" Cao Zhiqiang was puzzled.

Chen Jiabang looked left and right, and then looked back, to make sure that there was no one around who could eavesdrop, and then whispered in Cao Zhiqiang's ear: "Zhiqiang, do you know, those who can drive taxis now are not ordinary people, and they are somewhat black."

You are like foreign guests and overseas Chinese, they generally don't dare to mess around, because the matter is big, and foreign affairs are no trivial matter.

But if the countrymen, especially the outsiders, don't get it right, they will take you to the wilderness or the den of thieves.

At that time, you will call the heavens and the earth unspiritual, and you will not let them handle it?

We have so many women here, and even little girls, so we have to be more careful.

Nowadays, human traffickers are rampant, and they like to abduct little girls the most, especially those as big and beautiful as Simei.

We are not familiar with this place, and we are not foreign guests and overseas Chinese, so we always need to have more eyes.

That's why I deliberately put on an official tone, and on the way to the car before, I have been talking to my daughter-in-law in Beijing, and I have been talking to various ministries and commissions in Beijing when I open and close my mouth, and even said that our visit to Nanjing this time was a secret business trip.

I even moved out of the Ministry of Public Security!

Speaking of which, you should be able to figure it out, I did this to let them know that we are from the capital, and it is not easy to mess with, so that they dare not mess around, understand? ”

"Ah, that's it?" Cao Zhiqiang was speechless, "Isn't it a bit of a fuss?" ”

Secretary Chen shook his head and patted Cao Zhiqiang on the shoulder: "Xiao Cao, when you go out, you must have a good heart, you are still young, and you don't travel much, you haven't encountered this kind of thing, but I have encountered more than once that kind of local driver who harms outsiders."

Therefore, the more you go to other places, the more you have to be official, prestigious, and full of momentum, so that people have doubts about your identity, and then in order to avoid trouble, they will not dare to touch you.

Zhiqiang, you can remember it in the future!

In the future, once you go to other places, you have to be like me today, when you shouldn't be low-key, you must not be low-key, otherwise you will only be slaughtered as a fat sheep, and you don't know how to die, understand? ”

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, thank you Brother Chen for your teachings." ”

"It's fine." Chen Jiabang smiled and shook his head, "It's all as it should be, you will understand these things sooner or later, but it's better to know it early." ”

As she was talking, Qiao Simei suddenly pointed to a door and said, "Brother Cao, come on, this is my house!" ”

After speaking, Qiao Simei went up and pushed the door open, shouting as she ran inside: "Big brother and second brother, I'm back!" ”
