Leaning on the sofa in his living room, Gao Zhengxin has been watching TV for several hours in a row. In the past, he usually only watched news programs and financial programs, and occasionally watched science and education programs. Since his retirement, he has become obsessed with TV series. There are dozens of episodes of a TV series, and no matter how much time you have, you can pass the time.

Gao Zhengxin has many hobbies, smoking, drinking, and drinking tea, but he doesn't play cards. Others can not get off the mahjong table from morning to night, but he can't, and he has back pain when he sits still all day. Some of the people who retired together went to a friend's company with their spare heat. At first, he was also a little tempted, but later saw that the situation was not right, so he dispelled this idea.

Luo Guohua, the old man of the Municipal Planning Bureau, and a group of him who retired. After retiring, he was hired as a consultant by a real estate development company. Boss Liang is a friend of Lao Luo, he asked him in the past, and he also helped him a lot, I thought I could go to a fairy class, take some to make up for the difference, and forget about it, who knows how long it won't take long, the situation will change.

Once Boss Liang didn't know who made him unhappy, and he lost his temper and scolded the audience. It's his habit, like a recurrent seizure without warning, which comes every once in a while. Every time it happens, the people in the company avoid it, lest it will be messed with themselves.

Lao Luo didn't know the depths, relying on his special relationship with him, he stepped forward to persuade a few words. Seeing that he had a blue head and a black face, he didn't speak, and said to go and go to my office for tea. As he spoke, he reached for it. Who knew that Boss Liang shook his hand and hit him heavily on the arm: You are dead with me!

The beaten Lao Luo was like a wooden ox and a flowing horse that had been twisted, and suddenly turned from a living thing into a stupid thing. The mouth is still open, the eyes are still staring, and the arms are still raised, but the person will not move. It was still an old accountant of the company, who quietly went up and pulled him aside.

It turns out that when I am in power, when you come to ask me to do something, your mouth is sweeter than your grandson, and your attitude is better than that of a pug, how can people say that they will change? Didn't I find your company? In order to please me, you repeatedly picked me up and asked me to be a consultant to your company......

Lao Luo was really angry and had nowhere to go, so he called and told Gao Zhengxin about the humiliation he received. Lao Luo, who has always been talkative, stammered when he talked about this. Gao Zhengxin imagined that when he made this call, Lao Luo must have tears in his eyes.

In fact, Gao Zhengxin has long felt that something is wrong. It turned out that Lao Luo called Boss Liang by his name, and the most honorific title was Lao Liang or Xiao Liang. A few days after entering his company, Lao Luo opened and closed his mouth to Mr. Liang. It's okay to be like this in front of people, just the two of us talking, you are still Mr. Liang before and after Mr. Liang, as for it?

Gao Zhengxin persuaded for a while and said Lao Luo, you resign. Lao Luo didn't say anything.

After a few days of calling, Lao Luo has not resigned. Lao Luo said that Mr. Liang personally came to apologize to him. said that the tantrum was not aimed at him at that time, and asked him not to remember the villain.

Lao Gao said Lao Luo, what do you mean? Do you still want to stay with him? Lao Luo, let me tell you, you still have a little fragrance when you go now. Do you want him to scold you again and not even apologize, so that you are willing to get out?

Since his retirement, Gao Zhengxin has rarely seen Lao Luo. The last time I saw him was at the Perfume Star River Hotel, when he had just retired. Li Fei called him and said that he wanted to ask for his opinion on something. He deliberately invited this group of retired old comrades to have a meal together. Thank you for your support to Galaxy Perfume over the years. I don't know if it's okay.

This made Gao Zhengxin both surprised and moved. There has always been only a way to curry favor with the newly stepped down, and there is no way to curry favor with the newly stepped down. What's more, when these people were in power, he and Li Fei didn't invite anyone to dinner, and now at this time, there should be no utilitarian motive at all.

Everyone was very happy and cherished the reunion, and there will not be many such reunions in the future. I have to sigh that Li Fei can be a man. It's really a road to know the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

A call came in, Gao Zhengxin picked up the phone and saw that it was his friend Zhang Ziyang.

Lao Zhang also mentioned it to him and asked him if he would like to go to his company in Shenzhen to do things. He began to hesitate a little and said that I would go to Shanghai to see my grandson first. Later, when he saw that Lao Luo was angry, he completely dispelled the idea of helping anyone. There was a saying he forgot who said it:

It's best not to mix interests between friends, because if you don't get friends right, you won't have to do it.

Director Gao, I have something I want you to help me with. Zhang Ziyang said on the other end of the phone.

Lao Gao turned the TV on mute and said that there is something wrong with Mr. Zhang, please say.

Zhang Ziyang said, I still want to dispose of the equipment of the bowling alley. It's okay to be cheaper.

Lao Gao said, didn't you raise this matter with Perfume Star River Hotel last time, I remember that they didn't agree at the time. How is business at the stadium now?

Business is not good, two years, basically no profit.

Lao Gao said, in my opinion, in this case, if you propose to dispose of the equipment to them, I think they will not agree.

Gao Zhengxin sighed when he heard the other end of the phone. Zhang Ziyang said, you see if this will work, just say that I recently have a loan in the bank and need to use the equipment of the stadium as collateral.

Gao Zhengxin understood as soon as he heard that Lao Zhang wanted to get the cash through a mortgage. Leave a dead baby to the hotel, and let the bank and the hotel go to redress the grievances.

It's better for you to tell Li Fei in person, Lao Gao said, I can say hello to him first, and try to make it as convenient as possible if Li Fei can do it.

Zhang Ziyang met Li Fei in the guest room of the Perfume Star River. Since he had Perfume Star River, he has stayed here every time he goes back to Xiangzhou. He took out a small coffee-colored square box from his handbag and placed it on the small coffee table in front of Li Fei. Say a little gift, I don't know if you like the style or not.

What is it? Li Fei opened the small box, and inside was a watch. RADO, he silently recites the logo on the dial. He has no hobby of playing with watches, nor has he ever worn an imported watch, so he is a complete layman.

When he was 16 years old, his father spent 120 yuan to buy him a Shanghai brand watch. This is his reward for him. At that time, he had just taken over the cashier job of the street collective. In the eyes of others and family, this is a very decent thing. It's about competence and trust. Although the monthly salary is only 15 yuan.

The father is a person who is not good at expressing himself, and his fatherly love is always hidden under a serious face. So much so that in Li Fei's memories, he couldn't find his father's smiling face. And the only portrait he had seemed to be full of hatred in his eyes. In real life, he is a cautious person who has no quarrel with the world and no quarrel with others.

When others were still wearing wooden slippers, he bought him the first pair of foam slippers in town; When others were still using bare table tennis rackets, he bought him a sponge racket; He shipped goods to the county seat, often bringing back some of the rarities of the town—fruit or cake. Even in the three years when food was so scarce, he and his mother ate their own vegetable porridge and had to use a small crockpot to make white rice for their son alone.

But he only wore this Shanghai watch for two months. The accountant is a somewhat feminine middle-aged man in the neighborhood, and when he reconciles the accounts at the end of the month, he says that he is short of more than 100 yuan. He searched through all the links, and there were no mistakes in the cash of the receipts and disbursements. However, it will be recorded and said that it does not match the accounts. And he couldn't read the accounts at all. In the end, he paid the arrears with his watch and quit his job as a cashier.

After that, he wore a few more watches, and he had no memory of what brand or price. And now in front of him was an imported watch.

How much does it cost? Li Fei asked.

This one is for you. Zhang Ziyang said.

Don't you send, I'll pay.

Mr. Li, you can see each other when you say that, and we are friends now.

Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Li Fei said, but we still have a layer of partnership, and there are internal regulations in the hotel, and all gifts must be handed over. In order to avoid losses, I still pay for yours.

Mr. Li, look at what you said - it's just a matter of a watch.

Mr. Zhang, please listen to me this time. In the future, I will not be a hotel, and I will definitely treat you as a personal friend. All right? Li Fei said hypocritical and polite words with a seemingly sincere attitude.

Li Fei closed the watch box, put it back on the coffee table, pushed it over the center line of the coffee table, and pushed it to Zhang Ziyang's side.

When I came back this time, I had something to discuss with Mr. Li. Zhang Ziyang said.

Li Fei said, Director Gao has already told me about you.

Gao Zhengxin called Li Fei and said that Lao Zhang wanted to use the stadium equipment as a loan collateral. It is convenient for Li Fei. Li Fei knew the mystery as soon as he heard it. pointed out that Lao Zhang was using the golden cicada shelling trick to take away the equipment in disguise.

He said: Director Gao, you still can't see it?

Gao Zhengxin smiled and said, Mr. Li, you are an extremely smart person, and the slightest caution of others can't escape your eyes. But Mr. Zhang is really in difficulty at present, otherwise people would not have this thought.

Li Fei said, Director Gao, I am really embarrassed about this matter.

He can't open his eyes and pull in his pants.

Gao Zhengxin said, I know you are embarrassed. Don't be embarrassed, how can others ask me to come forward to you? This matter is the thread I pull for the two of you, and I am nosy, and I am nosy. After all, he is a person, and you are a public. Let it be a let be a home. It is convenient for others and for yourself. From the time the hotel was built to the present, have I asked you for anything? Even if I beg you this time, you can give some face, okay?

Li Fei couldn't agree with Gao Zhengxin's statement, but it was inconvenient to refute it. I just listened blindly, and I didn't even say "um" and "oh".

Gao Zhengxin paused, he was waiting for Li Fei's response. Li Fei's disappearing silence disappointed him. He couldn't help but say an angry word: Do you think I, an old man who has retired, are nosy?

Seeing Gao Zhengxin say this, Li Fei could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. I can only voice and comfort: Old leader, you must not say that, whether you are in office or not, you are the most respected leader in my mind. You see if this will work, if you don't talk to Lao Zhang first, just say that you have already told me, and I personally agree to help. But the hotel is now a joint-stock enterprise, and the bank is the chairman's unit, so they can't help but consult them for such a big matter. I'll report to them first, and if they don't object, I'll be able to do it.

When Li Fei said this, there is no doubt that he is talking about the reason. But you can't say that the reason he said is not valid. As for him asking Gao Zhengxin to tell Lao Zhang that he personally agrees, this is telling lies in a frank way. Saying this not only made him shirk his responsibility, but also made Gao Zhengxin shirk his responsibility. Isn't what Gao Zhengxin wants to give an explanation to Lao Zhang?

Speaking of which, Gao Zhengxin couldn't say anything more, so he could only agree with his statement.

Li Fei said to Zhang Ziyang, Mr. Zhang, you know my relationship with Director Gao, and I dare not be sloppy about what Director Gao explained. Now that we are friends, we should help you if you are in trouble.

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyang's face showed joy. Just now, he was still desperate because Li Fei refused to accept the gift. At this time, he heard Li Fei saying again:

But you know, now Xiangzhou City Distribution is the holding unit of our hotel, and their president is the chairman of the hotel, so I can't help but greet him for such a major event. It's also a matter of respect. I thought I would just say hello to him, but he asked me a question that made it difficult for me to answer.

What's the problem? Hearing this, Zhang Ziyang already had a bad premonition.

Li Fei said, he asked me, what if the loan is overdue and cannot be repaid? I said probably not, Boss Zhang is a reliable person. He said what I said was just in case, can you completely rule out this possibility? I said no. He said that if this happens, can the hotel repay the loan on his behalf? I said I shouldn't have the ability. Because the hotel can only pay interest normally, the requirement for bank repayment has not yet been implemented. He said that if the hotel could not afford to repay the loan on its behalf, the bank would have to auction the collateral through the court at maturity. In the end, he said, what to do, you have to think about this outcome. My personal opinion is that I do not agree to use the stadium equipment as a mortgage for the loan.

In fact, a set of statements about the chairman of the board of directors were all made up by Li Fei himself. Such a simple question has to be picked up by others, and it is not a joke.

If you change to someone else, just like Gao Zhengxin said, others are individuals, you are a public family, turn a blind eye, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and it is convenient to be convenient. It's not that Li Fei doesn't understand the common feelings of these people, it's just that he can't get over a pass in his heart. Always have to worry about the loss of the hotel's interests. It's like these interests are his personal and even more important than his personal ones. There are not so many principles in dealing with the interests of the individual, and there is no moral hazard. On the contrary, the interests of the public are different.

Zhang Ziyang was frustrated. He said, the equipment is mine.

Li Fei wanted to say that this equipment is yours, but you used it as a condition for funding to form a new community with others, and its attributes have changed. Seeing Lao Zhang's pitiful appearance, Li Fei didn't say the words on his lips. He couldn't bear to say anything more. He said, why don't you go find our chairman yourself?

After saying this suggestion, Li Fei regretted it a little, what if Lao Zhang's means really opened up the joint of the city issue? This possibility is not entirely impossible.
