Not to mention Wu Zemin and Zhao Meifen and his wife, how to beat their little Jiujiu in private, and said that after Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong finished lunch, they didn't stay long, and soon left the courtyard here in Houhai under the pretext of being busy with work.

It's true that he is busy with work, but there is another reason, that is, Cao Zhiqiang can't stand Wu Qinghong's enthusiasm.

I don't know if it's the reason for Xiao Biesheng's new marriage, after Wu Qinghong came back this time, she felt that her attachment to Cao Zhiqiang was deeper, and once there were no outsiders, she was even more unscrupulous, always wanting to play poker with Cao Zhiqiang openly and secretly.

If there is nothing else to do in the afternoon, Cao Zhiqiang certainly doesn't mind playing a good game of poker with the other party.

But Cao Zhiqiang didn't talk about a bunch of things to do in the afternoon, and he always kept in mind the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, that is, the foundation of his body was too poor, and he was weak in all aspects, so before recuperation, he must try to minimize the things of men and women.

didn't say no, just said to minimize, which is already very face-saving.

In fact, according to the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, it is best to abstain from sex for a period of time.

It's a pity, Cao Zhiqiang really can't do abstinence, so he can only minimize that kind of thing, and take medicine on time by the way.

Of course, if Cao Zhiqiang is like other ordinary people, there are not so many women, there is no problem.

But Cao Zhiqiang had already fought with Hao Shuwen all night before picking up Qinghong, so when he picked up Wu Qinghong today, he was a little lacking in momentum.

But after all, he is still young, and if he keeps grinding with blue and red ears and sideburns, he will not be able to bear it sooner or later.

So, just finish your meal and leave, get drunk on your work, and divert your attention, so as not to continue to be distracted.

After separating from Qinghong, Cao Zhiqiang went directly back to his room at the Peking Hotel, where he took a nap.

Well, this executive room of the Peking Hotel, Cao Zhiqiang had given it to Yu Yuanyuan to live in before, but Yu Yuanyuan only stayed for two days and left, so it has become Cao Zhiqiang's long-term residence.

The reason why I stayed here for a long time was that it was so comfortable to live here.

No need to cook, no need to clean up, the environment is not bad, safety is guaranteed, for now, is there a better place to live than here?

In addition to being a little more expensive and not his own house, Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't think there is anything unsatisfactory about the Peking Hotel.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to sleep well here, and he woke up naturally.

Unfortunately, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by a phone call.

As soon as I answered the phone, I found that it was a call from the publishing house, saying that there were two female students and that I had made an appointment with him for an interview.

Cao Zhiqiang then remembered that yesterday he agreed to interview Xiang Dongfang and talk to her about the official entry of the company, and the time was two o'clock this afternoon.

Frowning, Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously wanted to let people come over out of laziness.

But when I think about it, it doesn't seem to respect each other very much, and the less people know about the hotel room I live in, the better.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said into the phone: "You invite them to my office, get some tea and melon seeds, and ask them to wait for me there for a while, and I'll be there immediately." ”

After hanging up the phone, Cao Zhiqiang forcibly got up, washed up a little, and then brewed a cup of Geisha coffee, then put on a straight tunic, asked the hotel to call a crown car, and took himself back to Hongguang Publishing House.

After returning to his office, he happened to see two young girls sitting on the sofa chatting, one of them was Xiang Dongfang, and the other did not know each other.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang enter the door, the two young girls were stunned at first, but quickly stood up together.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang first smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "That's right, it should be that I'm late, so I made you wait for a long time." ”

"Not either." Before Xiang Dongfang could speak, the very capable and refreshing girl next to him smiled and said, "We have just arrived for a while, and you have a lot of opportunities, so we should wait for you." ”

"Really good at talking." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded to the strange girl, then looked at Xiang Dongfang, "This is the classmate you said?" ”

"Ah, yes." Xiang Dongfang nodded hurriedly, "Let me introduce it first, this is my junior sister, (this chapter is not finished!) )

345 So you're a prodigy, too!

His name is Xu Jingli. ”

"Hello President Cao." Xu Jingli took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and said with a generous smile, "I have admired your name for a long time, my name is Xu Jingli, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

"Oh." Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously shook hands with the other party, "Where, where, it's just a false name." ”

"You're not in vain." Xu Jingli smiled and said, "You know, many people in our class like your poems, even our teachers are full of praise for your masterpieces, and they have also lectured on your poems." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Yes, that's really funny, I'm a person who didn't graduate from high school, how can He De let the university teacher give a lecture on my works." ”

Xu Jingli said with a smile: "Academic qualifications are not the most important thing, the key is whether you have real talent and real learning."

President Cao, although you didn't go to college, you became famous all over the world at a young age, and you became the president of a publishing house.

What's more, I also heard that you participated in the preliminary examination for the college entrance examination in Beiping City this year, and also achieved the 26th place in the city.

So, President Cao, you don't have to be presumptuous, because your achievements have left us far behind.

Excessive modesty is pride and hypocrisy, and you are certainly not a proud hypocrisy, right? ”

"Young, young." Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xiang Dongfang, "Where did you find the living treasure, it's too good to say." ”

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "Xu Jingli is excellent in character and learning, and she is still the school flower of their class, not only does she study well, but also actively participates in school activities, and she is an active member of the student union, which is quite famous."

To tell you the truth, this time she also took the initiative to ask me and begged me several times before I had to bring her to meet you. ”

"That's right, that's right." Xu Jingli said, "Counselor Xiang ...... her"

"Wait! Item counselor? Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "You mean, this Teacher Xiang is the counselor of your school?" ”

"That's right." Xu Jingli nodded, "Since I entered the university, she has been our counselor for three years, don't you know?" ”

"I really don't know." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang hurriedly said, "Actually, I ......"

"Don't rush yet!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hand, "Since we all know each other, don't stand and say, sit, sit." ”

After everyone was seated, Xiang Dongfang took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Cao Zhiqiang: "President Cao, you drink tea." ”

"Thank you." After Cao Zhiqiang thanked him, he took a sip gently,

After drinking half a cup of tea slowly, Cao Zhiqiang put down the teacup and smiled at Xiang Dongfang: "Teacher Xiang, since you have stayed in school as a counselor, why do you still want to come to my small temple?" ”

Xiang Dongfang was silent for a moment, and then sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't want to hide it, but since I said this, I'll tell the truth."

In fact, after graduating that year, although I stayed in school to become a counselor, I only signed a three-year contract with the school, and I belonged to the school's contract worker, and there was no formal establishment at all.

Originally, it was said that after the probationary period of three years, if there were no major problems, he would be able to become a regular teacher.

But in fact, three years are about to pass, and there is no deadline for the transfer.

Later, I inquired and found out that the school had no plans to increase the number of staff recently, especially for a foreigner like me, it was basically difficult to stay in the school as a teacher.

Although I also applied for a graduate degree in the Department of Foreign Languages when I was a counselor, the graduate program of the Department of Foreign Languages in our school was initially established, and although the academic qualifications were higher than those of ordinary undergraduates, they were similar in nature to ordinary undergraduates.

In other words, if I graduate from graduate school, I still have to obey the regulations and return to Nanjing to work with my dispatch card, and I basically can't stay in Beijing.

Unless I can find an official unit in the capital to receive it.

Originally, I wanted to stay in school, but now it seems that I don't have enough qualifications to stay at the university and become a teacher, so I have to find another way.

Originally, I didn't have any way, but since I got to know you, I realized that the noble person was by my side, and your publishing house fully met all the conditions to take me in.

That's why I take the liberty of asking you, (this chapter is not over!) )

345 So you're a prodigy, too!

Can you keep me so that I can stay in the capital. ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "I see." ”

After touching his chin and thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly looked at Xu Jingli next to him, who was not speaking, and smiled slightly: "Classmate Xu Jingli, please go out and wait for a while, I have some personal matters to tell this counselor of yours, is it okay?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Jingli hurriedly stood up, "You talk, I'll wait outside, and call me at any time after talking." ”

After speaking, Xu Jingli took the initiative to leave, and after leaving, she took the initiative to close the door, very well-behaved and sensible.

After Xu Jingli left, Cao Zhiqiang asked Xiang Dongfang: "Teacher Xiang ......"

"Don't dare to be." Xiang Dongfang hurriedly said, "You can just call me Xiao Xiang." ”

"How's that going to work?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "You are older than me, and you haven't officially become my employee yet, I'll call you Teacher Xiang, and when you become my person, it's not too late to change your name." ”

Xiang Dongfang smiled and nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Cao Zhiqiang said with a straight face: "Teacher Xiang, I already know the purpose of your job search with me.

Seriously, if you're an ordinary worker or an ordinary rural kid, I'm not surprised that you're doing this.

After all, for the children of ordinary people, it is of course best to stay in the capital.

But the problem is, I heard that your father is the provincial Wei Changwei of Jiangnan Province, and he is still a minister of real power, which means that you are actually a real real power faction***.

In that case, why do you have to stay in Beijing and not go back to Nanjing to develop?

With your father's status in the local area, wouldn't it be better for you to go back to your hometown to develop than in the capital?

And even if you want to stay in the capital and not go back to your hometown, with your father's energy and connections, there is no reason why you can't stay? ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiang Dongfang immediately frowned: "President Cao, who did you listen to about my father's affairs?" ”

"You don't care about that." Cao Zhiqiang's face was calm, "Anyway, someone told me." ”

Well, okay, Xiang Dongfang's father is very awesome, but it was actually Hao Shuwen who told Cao Zhiqiang.

The reason, naturally, is that after Hao Shuwen found out that Cao Zhiqiang's two younger sisters suddenly had a young and beautiful live-in tutor, she didn't know what kind of psychology she had, so she went to someone to investigate.

For ordinary people, it is a little difficult to find out Xiang Dongfang's family situation, but for people like Hao Shuwen, it is not difficult.

Hao Shuwen didn't need to look for her parents, but directly found some of her uncles and aunts who worked in the security department, and she could find out Xiang Dongfang's situation clearly.

It was through Hao Shuwen that Cao Zhiqiang discovered that the original inconspicuous Xiang Dongfang was still ***.

But because of this, when he heard that Xiang Dongfang wanted to stay in the capital through Cao Zhiqiang's relationship that day, he didn't agree at the first time, but made an appointment to meet here officially, in order to avoid his two younger sisters and formally ask about the situation.

If there is no problem, Cao Zhiqiang is of course willing to ask for a high-achieving subordinate.

But if there is any trouble, Cao Zhiqiang is not willing to wade into troubled waters.

Seeing that Xiang Dongfang stopped talking, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Teacher Xiang, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I have to find out your true intentions."

Otherwise, don't look at me now, it's actually all surface light, and it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of big people.

In case you stay through my connections, causing your dad to be dissatisfied with me and want to be mad at me, I can't fight a local magistrate like your dad.

My little arms and legs can't beat him. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Dongfang sneered, then shook his head and said, "Okay, since you have such concerns, then I will tell you the truth." ”

After a slight pause and sorting out his thoughts, Xiang Dongfang said with a straight face: "That's right, my father is ...... It's the one, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just ......"

After another pause, Xiang Dongfang continued: "It's just that my father's current wife is not my biological mother, and my younger brothers and sisters are not the same mother as me, I say this, can you understand?" ”

"Ah, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "Don't think about it, in fact, it doesn't matter if it's my father, my stepmother, or my (this chapter is not over!) )

345 So you're a prodigy, too!

My younger siblings have always been nice to me.

It's just that when I was very young, I didn't think like everyone else.

Because when I was very young, I learned things very quickly, and I learned as soon as I learned, so everyone liked me and called me a child prodigy.

But I don't like people to praise me as a prodigy, I don't like that kind of family, and I don't want to rely on my father's power to help me get something.

Ever since I knew that I was different from others, that others were not as good at learning as me, and that others were calling me a prodigy, I began to hide my clumsiness and deliberately stop being so superhuman.

I deliberately made a few wrong questions in every exam to control my score, which caused my academic performance to start slipping and staying above average, and I was no longer the number one in the field.

Sure enough, as I was no longer prominent and dazzling, everyone's attention and praise for me gradually decreased, and they slowly treated me as an ordinary person, and said that I was hurt Zhongyong.

But I'm very happy because I enjoy the life of ordinary people, and I also enjoy the feeling that they are kept in the dark by me.

I can't say why, but I just don't like people calling me a prodigy, I don't like the envious and jealous eyes of others, and I don't like to be different.

Also, I don't like the family that treats me well, I don't want to do anything else, I just don't like it, I don't want to have much to do with that family. ”

After shaking his head, Xiang Dongfang continued: "I don't know why this is happening, I have repeatedly said myself, but I just hate that family, I just don't want to have anything to do with that family."

I wanted to be far away from that family at a very young age, and I didn't want people to know that I had anything to do with anyone in their family.

For this reason, even if I don't have my father's help, I can only live as an ordinary person, and there is no problem with a more difficult life.

I feel that living without them is the life I want. ”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "You hate your father?" ”

"I don't hate." Xiang Dongfang shook his head, "My father has always been very good to me, better than everyone else. ”

"Then you hate your stepmother?" Cao Zhiqiang asked again.

Xiang Dongfang smiled: "My stepmother treats me very well, treating me as her own, and even treating me better than her own children." ”

"What about your brother and sister?"

"My younger siblings have respected me since I was a child and have not treated me badly in the slightest."

"That's weird." Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head, "Then why do you want to stay away from a *** family that is very good to you?" ”

"I don't know." Xiang Dongfang smiled and stroked the ends of his hair beside his ears, "Sometimes when I think about it, I also feel very strange and hypocritical, but this is what I really think in my heart."

I really wanted to run away from that family, I really wanted to break with that family, I didn't want to have anything to do with any of them, and of course I knew it was hard, but I just couldn't help but think about it, I couldn't help it. ”

After sighing, Xiang Dongfang said, "So, I really want to stay on my own."

I got into this university by myself, and I applied to stay in school by myself, and even through your help, it was also through myself.

I don't want to do anything else, I just want to rely more on my own strength, far away from that family, if I can, I won't come and go, that's all. “

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, and then nodded thoughtfully: "That's the case, although I don't understand the reason why you did this, I probably know your thoughts." ”

After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang said: "If that's the case, then of course I'm happy for you to stay, after all, it's rare for a talent like you to come."

In this way, I can find someone to say hello to your school when I go back, leave your relationship with our publishing house, and everything will be treated according to the official intern cadres, what should I do.

As for your specific work...... By the way, you're from the Department of Foreign Languages, how about English and Japanese? ”

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "I majored in English and Japanese. ”

Cao Zhiqiang immediately said in Japanese: "In that case, can you be proficient in Japanese and English?" Please speak in Japanese. ”

Xiang Dongfang was stunned for a moment, but still nodded, and replied in Japanese: "No problem, I can write daily conversations." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and then chatted with Xiang Dongfang in Japanese and English respectively (this chapter is not over!). )

345 So you're a prodigy, too!

Child.

After confirming that Xiang Dongfang was really proficient in Japanese and English, but his oral proficiency was slightly inferior to his own, Cao Zhiqiang was very satisfied.

"Good!" Cao Zhiqiang, who had regained Chinese, nodded, "In that case, then you should be my personal secretary first, just right, after a while, I will go to Japan, during which you can practice speaking Japanese more, and you can use it there." ”

Xiang Dongfang nodded: "Yes, I know, thank you very much." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hand, "Actually, for now, a talent like you who is proficient in two foreign languages and has a graduate degree from a famous university, normally I can't get it, it's rare that you are willing to take the initiative to come to me, as long as there is no big problem, of course I can't ask for it." ”

"Then please take care of me." Xiang Dongfang said with a smile, "Also, you really surprised me today, I didn't expect your English and Japanese to be so good, even better than me, you, are you really a high school dropout?" ”

"yes, I really am." Cao Zhiqiang blinked.

"But who says that a person who drops out of high school can't be proficient in two foreign languages?

I don't just speak English and Japanese, but I also speak Korean.

Of course, this may be incredible to others, but since you are a child prodigy, then you should understand me. ”

Xiang Dongfang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that you are also a prodigy!" Moreover, you have also been hiding since you were a child? ”

"That's right, I'm also a child prodigy, and I've been hiding since I was a child." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Don't say it, I don't tell ordinary people, that is, I see that you are the same kind, so I will tell you the truth." ”

Xiang Dongfang smiled: "Actually, even if you don't say that you are a prodigy, I'm afraid everyone will default to you as a genius."

Because of what you are doing now, ordinary people can't do it at all, at least, they can't write those good poems that are popular! ”

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "Originally, I also wanted to continue to hide, but the environment didn't allow it!" In order to survive, I can only expose my strength as a genius. ”

After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's words, Xiang Dongfang nodded very seriously: "Indeed, I have also heard of your past, you broke out only when your mother died.

In this way, you and I are indeed the same kind of people. ”

345 So you're a prodigy, too!
