Zhao Jiadi has been able to get out of bed and is limping for a walk in a quiet park with someone's support. Wang Banjin is not happy to let the head nurse and Xiao Baliang hook up. During these days, he comes from the government unit whenever he has free time. After serving, he also sent a set of "Chinese Era 1900-2000" written by the old man to help Zhao Jiadi. The message was: "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading and the sound of common people, can be heard; family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, trivial matters, everything is concerned about." .¡±
Zhao Jiadi's current life is like a retreat. According to the habit he developed as a volunteer teacher in Guanyin Village, he reads, excerpts and takes notes. He has not been idle. He has read "The Appearance of Officialdom" twice, and he is lying in bed to give it to a relatively seriously ill person. Han Daode recounted the financial history of Goldman Sachs. Han Gouli¡¯s physical condition was poor and his recovery speed was much slower than that of Zhao Jiadi. However, he was in good spirits and was kept fresh and fresh by the hospital. If he could get his teeth cleaned by the way, he would be considered brand new. , I guess if we go out to eat chicken again, the ladies will be willing to serve more attentively and attentively. When Zhao Jiadi was in the hospital, as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and some people who had good intentions towards the Zhao family and Jin Hai came to visit. For example, Chen Jing from Yehu Chan Dacheng appeared several times. Liao Yin, who always stood firmly in Zhao Taizu's camp, came twice with a group of brothers from the past. Shen Xian and Wu Fu, a pair of scholars and apprentices, also entered the hospital carrying fruit baskets, and several others who had deliberately The red boys who had given Zhao Jiadi a bad look all rushed over, showing a bit of uncommon sincerity. Among them, Yang Feng, the indifferent uncle who had made Zhao Jiadi feel more affectionate in a private club on Chang'an Avenue, was even more straightforward. Zhao Jiadi said don't blame his uncle for being unreasonable that day, because at that time even he couldn't figure out Zhao Xin's plan, and he didn't dare to make any random moves. In addition, he just wanted to find out whether Zhao Xin's son was an embroidered pillow. It was done on purpose. Before leaving, the famous man with a knife up his sleeve in the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China said, half jokingly and half seriously, contrary to common sense, that he had heard that Chen Jing had begun to dig into Jin Hai¡¯s most promising corner. As an uncle, I, Jin Hai, Things have to be considered separately. Putting aside your friendship with Zhao Xin, as long as you take the national examination next year, your uncle will definitely give you a big red envelope. Zhao Jiadi was not pretentious, he said with a smile that the bigger the better, and if it was too small, he would complain to Zhao Sanjin.
Zhao Jiadi was busy choosing some jokes about Goldman Sachs to tell Han Daode. Suddenly he saw something was wrong in this guy's eyes. When he turned around, he was even more surprised than when he saw Zhao Xin running out of Miyun Prison. Since the beginning of the year, , no matter what kind of sudden setbacks, suffocating pressure, invisible burdens, what kind of cold eyes and coldness he feels on his skin, Zhao Jiadi, who can laugh at himself in front of outsiders even after being shot twice, fiercely His eyes turned red all of a sudden, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he made a slight promise, but he did not shout out a sound, nor did he shout out the most ordinary word. After childhood, from adolescence to youth, it was not a long period, but it was by no means short. Zhao Jiadi seemed to have forgotten how to act coquettishly with the people in front of him. He always didn't know how to start the occasional cross-border phone calls. , and I don¡¯t even know how to end it. Most of them end with silence. In the end, they develop a tacit understanding. After half a minute of silence, they hang up the phone. In the past, the few meetings during the Spring Festival were not cordial, so the sudden meeting here and now, Zhao Jiadi was at a loss, which was even more confusing than letting him face the ups and downs of Jinhai. The middle-aged woman with a cold face and sad eyes seemed not surprised by Zhao Jiadi's performance. She put down the fruit basket and sat on the edge of the bed. She stared at the mature face with increasingly sharp edges and strong determination, and reached out to help Zhao Jiadi. Wiping the tears that welled up in his eyes, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm still the same Xiao Baliang who likes to cry."
Zhao Jiadi choked with sobs and shouted: "Mom."
The woman hugged him gently and said nothing.
How many children who seem to be stubborn and stubborn have not been hoping to be recognized by their parents since they were young?
Han Daode was simply shocked. He straightened his back subconsciously, but did not dare to interrupt. To Han Big Dog Leg, Zhao Taizu was undoubtedly a tough and powerful being who could not be higher than others. The book "Gray Empire" was hailed as one that could not break the sales record within ten years. The entire book was tirelessly describing the vicious darkness of this man. So, how is it that "Grey", which has a strong critical meaning and sent the Black Gold Empire to the moral scaffold, devotes an entire chapter to praising the woman, Shang Hong? The book "Gray" contains a profound statement that if this woman had held 45 to 49 points of equity and could maintain her huge influence, then Jin Hai would not have ended up like today, but the author frankly admitted that Zhao Taizu's consistent A male chauvinist would never give his nominal first wife that much equity. It is estimated to be 10 to 12 points at most. The equivalent amount is scary enough, but it will not change the situation. Han Daode has already turned over "Gray". For this shadow woman who is the only warm color in the Gray Empire, apart from some hearsay legends, we can only look for signs from the book. In the work, Shang Hong is a very personal style The manager of the company, like Zhao Taizu, came from a poor background and did not have any red elements, but what is commendable is that she was not like Zhao XinIf she behaves like a nouveau riche in life after getting rich, her life will be as simple and ordinary as ever. She doesn't pay attention to ostentation on any business trips. She stays in budget hotels, eats ordinary fast food, and doesn't have a single haute couture dress. She simply has no desires and no desires. The perfect example of a perfect model. In the wanton years of rapid expansion of the business empire, she was the terrible ** who firmly restrained Zhao Taizu from "domesticating the north". Too many business dynasties lost themselves in false glory and ended up being short-lived. "Gray" The book's high praise for Shang Hong comes from this. Compared with Zhao Taizu's reckless style, this woman who is strict with herself but willing to give others as loose an environment as possible seems to be the best candidate for a modern manager. In fact, any None of the elders who were kicked out by Zhao Taizu had any complaints against Shang Hong, and even privately said that if Huang Fangfei hadn't intervened, Jinhai would have most likely grown into a family business that was so powerful and invincible that it could even be called great.
Shang Hong peeled two snow lotus fruits and handed them to his son and Han Daode respectively. This made the old man flattered. However, Shang Hong didn't throw away a cigarette and just light it up. Zhao Taizu took the initiative to do a lot of housework with Han Daode. During Han Daode's one-man show, Shang Hong also talked about a lot of trivial matters about the Zhao family before they became rich, and they were all quite calm and relaxed. Shang Hong always values ????such men who do not blame others for their hardships, and he knew the inside story of the accident before he came. She had a good impression of this old man who was used as a pawn by Zhao Xin, and it improved even more after meeting her. But the most important thing is that she only came to the hospital as a mother today, and she has no airs even more. , which is naturally completely different from Huang Fangfei, who pays attention to exquisite taste in everything. After chatting for more than half an hour, Shang Hong helped his son out for a walk with two magazines and placed them on a stone bench in the park. After sitting down, he asked softly: "I have transferred all the equity to Dongcao, don't blame me. ?¡±
Zhao Jiadi asked: "Why?"
Shang Hong gave an interesting answer: "Being good to your daughter-in-law means being good to your son. This is what a qualified mother-in-law should do."
Zhao Jiadi didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn¡¯t argue. After all, he felt a warmth in his heart. Apart from him, there were still people in the world who were willing to have no prejudice against Sister Dongcao. Some things that can never be found again after being lost need to be believed in for a lifetime. Zhao Sanjin had also heard about the grievances between Zhao Sanjin and his deceased brother Qi Wufu. Over the years, even though Zhao Sanjin had brought his child bride sister into his home, and even arranged to take his place in the board meeting room to observe the intrigues in high-end workplaces, he had not even heard about it. Even Zhao Shinan, the "own member" of the Zhao family who was inexperienced in human affairs, could see that there was a huge gap between the two people who were a generation apart. In front of Zhao Sanjin, Qi Dongcao would never act like a little daughter like Wang Banjin and make trouble. , her label has always been precocious, calm, and restrained.
Zhao Jiadi murmured: "As an assessment report said, the Golden Sea is divided into two, one white and one black. It is no longer the fearful and jealous gray. But we really have to go to this step to get rid of the unrelenting struggle. A dead end? What should Zhao Sanjin do?"
Shang Hong said softly: "Baliang, do you really think your dad cares about this little money? At the beginning, Zhao Sanjin had no intention of killing the lackeys, and even privately discussed with me to give these heroes a lot of equity, but Jin Hai After growing up, those old guys with their tails raised were impatient, noisy, and very restless, and some of them even made drastic actions that were not very honorable. Zhao Sanjin was actually very willing to be nice to anyone, and he would settle the accounts in his mind better than anyone else. We all know it, but the premise is that it can withstand the test. Driver Xu Zhenhonghe is a good example. He will not treat anyone badly if he is willing to work hard. But whoever dares to fight for it, your father will have a bad temper. In anger, he simply let these people not get a penny. A good guy? Of course Zhao Xin is not, but the bad guy is a matter of taste. But one thing I am sure of more than anyone else is that Zhao Xin is not greedy for money. A man who ran away from home just to make a living and prove to your grandfather that he could live a good life without studying, studying well, and living in society. After he proved this, he didn¡¯t want you to leave too. There is always money to be made, and the so-called self-satisfaction that some elites talk about is just a joke to Zhao Xin. At his level, how can he prove it? No need, I'm leaving Jinhai Management From then on, Zhao Xin has been managing the company as a sideline and being a hands-off shopkeeper. It is very comfortable. But when something is wrong, he comes out to criticize and praise whoever has made meritorious services. In fact, it is a very good state. Jin Hai is divided or not. , the worst thing for him is to give away some of the countless money. He knows very well what Dongcao wants and will not stop it, but to take it away, Dongcao has to prove that she has the ability. Facts have proved that Dongcao can do it It was good, but I didn't get full marks, because no matter what Dongcao's attitude towards the Zhao family, there is always no doubt about you. If she waits for a few more years, enters the family tree of the Zhao family ancestral hall and becomes your wife, she will also be afraid I can¡¯t make up my mind to do this. You know, Ba Liang, what makes Mom most happy and satisfied is not what you did in Beijing during these days, but that you never hurt Dongcao. No matter how good a man is, he can¡¯t do it. Nois a good man. "
Zhao Jiadi looked at the scenery in the distance and was lost in thought.
Shang Hong said softly: "I met Yuan Shu in Shanghai. She is a very nice girl."
Zhao Jiadi was a little embarrassed. In terms of the relationship between men and women, this was the thing that made him most afraid of facing the old man of the Wang family. If you really get into politics in the future, even if a certain degree of family background can dilute this negative impact, it is not something that can be brought to the table after all.
Zhao Jiadi said softly: "Mom, why don't we meet Zhao Sanjin?"
Shang Hong nodded and said, "Yes."
Miyun Prison.
Two middle-aged men and women, whose relationship history is enough to fill a biography, sit facing each other. They are still a couple in the legal sense, but one is making waves in China, while the other has settled in Canada for many years and lives a peaceful life.
The man said calmly: "I heard that you transferred all the equity to your chosen daughter-in-law. It's not surprising, but it's just a little faster than I thought. Those gang of rebellious officials are probably having a celebration party. I lost to you. , I have no complaints.¡±
The woman sneered and said, "What else? Waiting for Huang Fangfei's relatives to dominate the family and take away all the eight taels?"
The man chuckled: "Hong, others don't know, you still don't know that I didn't intend to let her take the position from the beginning? Otherwise, she has just been fooling around on trivial matters in these years. Pigeon is not this material. She is better than you If she likes to be pushy, just let her show up from time to time. I just need to know how much she weighs." Comrade Zhao Sanjin, who is very famous in Miyun, stretched his waist and said lazily: "I admire our daughter-in-law very much. Even I really want to know that the military advisors who have been advising her behind her back all these years are no less impressive than Chen Ping'an. The Lao Qi family is really a hundred-footed insect, full of talented people. I guess if I hadn't had eight liang as my With a gold medal for immunity from death, the Qi family's soldiers will not only kill a mistress who wrote a report letter, but I will not let him go. I am an old man and I can't handle it easily."
Shang Hong looked at each other angrily.
Zhao Sanjin raised his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, okay, don't say anything bad about Dongcao. In the final analysis, you and I are the same. We have no complaints about this child. It's just a pity. It may be difficult to see her continue to be with that damn girl. It's a scene of jealousy. This is one of the few pleasures I have after you go abroad. Well, listening to Jia Di use professional terms to criticize the pseudo-elites who cheated me of money is one of them. Watching him tinker with short-term in the stock market is also one. . This little bastard is not happy for me to help him with money, so he makes me angry. Over the years, I have seen many little bastards who learned a little bit abroad and then came back to China and cried to their father for money to start a business. , I feel more and more that my kid is promising. Let me tell you a secret, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s me. Do you have any impression of Cai Yanzhi? It¡¯s the bamboo leaf green in Shanghai that was taken down by our son. When this happened, she He acted ruthlessly and did a few big things, uprooting several cash cows of the Chen family and making Secretary Chen, who was about to be promoted, furious and almost using political resources."
Shang Hong¡¯s face still looked ugly.
Zhao Sanjin smiled sinisterly, squinted his eyes and said: "Don't glare at me, I know what you are resenting. But Cao Cao, the pretty boy from the Chen family, is very clever. He might as well hide in the Beijing Military Region and not come out. I am not a god, so I dare not He is obviously challenging the gun, but don't worry, if you can escape the first grade of junior high school, you can't escape the fifteenth grade. Not only am I staring at him now, Cai Yanzhi, but also Sun Laohu, who is infatuated with Wang Zhuyun and has no regrets, are not in a good mood. , once it falls into the hands of these two people, there will be no good consequences. Anyway, I am now a guy who has been in jail for a long time. I am not afraid of wearing shoes when I am barefoot, and I am engaged in the business of killing people and stealing goods. I have been doing it for a whole ten years, and it is better than changing the method. It¡¯s much easier to get money out of smart people¡¯s pockets.¡±
Shang Hong finally had a good look on his face and sighed: "Back then, when you used tricks to separate Ba Liang and the girl named Xie Si, weren't you afraid that he would hate you forever?"
Zhao Xin laughed loudly and said: "There's nothing wrong with hating me. Maybe this guy can take over Jinhai and then work hard. To be honest with you, it's not that I didn't want to let Jiadi know this. But his performance in the past two years has exceeded my expectations, so there is no need to add any extraneous details. Now we can at least sit down together, talk a few words, spank, and smoke, so we don¡¯t have to mess with myself. By the way, Hong, has Dongcao ever mentioned her next steps to you? The split Jinhai can be regarded as my youngest son. I still hope that it can become an ambitious company as envisioned by those idealists. .Don¡¯t glare at me, Dongcao is a smart girl, I¡¯m sure I¡¯m not afraid of you leaking secrets to me, just tell me, it¡¯s too boring to stay here.¡±
Shang Hong smiled bitterly and said: "First of all, Jinhai will be renamed Jinchao, and she holds 51% of the shares. She obviously has a complete plan to deal with the ups and downs after Jinhai's change. Let me tell you one thing, Jinchao has already reached out to the largest financial owner in the country. China Investment Corporation has initially joined forces to establish a joint venture to jointly invest in domestic real estate. This moveWhether it is commercial investment or political investment, or the proportion of the two, you, the contemporary patriarch who takes the official route, must know clearly. Anyway, I feel relieved to leave Sanjinhai to Dongcao. With such a clear negative example like you standing there, I believe that even if Qidongcao has some iron-blooded skills, it will not make people disgusted. "
Zhao Sanjin rolled his eyes.
Shang Hong hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
Zhao Sanjin, who had already developed an excellent tacit understanding with her, said: "Just like that, a series of innocuous charges, with a sentence of about twelve years. This is the result of the superiors weighing the pros and cons. I heard it back then." Chen Pingan persuaded me to do some good deeds, otherwise it would probably take fifteen years. However, Chen Jing hinted to me that if the next operation is done properly, I will stay there for five or six years without going to Qincheng. The market Except for "The Collapse of the Gray Empire", no media on the Internet will report this verdict. This is also due to Yang Feng and this group of red disciples with huge energy. You have the opportunity to use this opportunity to be polite to them. They still sincerely recognize you as my sister-in-law. Over the years, they have scolded me a lot. They glared at me and refused to pull me down. Anyway, I am paving the way for my son, and he will go in the opposite direction. If you are still not willing to help, just wait until later. The bastard was picked up by Chen Jing, Yang Feng and other gangsters. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t understand the bad taste of these lunatics. Be careful, as soon as your son enters the government agency, he will be thrown into a remote mountainous area to drink from the northwest wind. Are you willing to do that? "
Shang Hong smiled slightly.
"If it weren't for this man being quite devoted to his son, even though his methods were a little different, otherwise she would never have seen this side of him with her strong temper.
It was already late March when Zhao Jiadi moved into a senior-level courtyard house purchased by his grandma after he was discharged from the hospital. Cai Yanzhi has always lived in the side house here, and with the presence of Mr. Huang Fengtu, the yard is not too deserted. In addition to watching the changes in Jinhae with a cold eye, Zhao Jiadi began to buy a large number of civil service examination materials, including the National Civil Service Examination Comprehensive Textbook from the Civil Service Textbook Center, application essays, current political commentaries, and of course magazines such as "Half Moon Talk", and even completed it After being prepared, he went to the 91up Civil Service Examination Platform to take a large number of tests. On his desk were piles of review materials of past papers. Zhao Jiadi fell into a semi-crazy state again, forgetting to sleep and eat. Two new sections were added to the blackboard. During this period, he went to Mr. Wang¡¯s house. We visited the courtyard twice and had a great time chatting with the old man. Zhao Jiadi knew everything and talked about everything. He also invited the famous Phoenix man Chen Jing to visit the courtyard as a guest, and he and his mother Shang Hong had dinner with ladies like Yang Feng. Obviously Zhao Jiadi is not limited to sprinting for the civil service exam, but intends to pave the way for the long term. Zhao Jiadi's life is much calmer, but it is not without fun in the courtyard, that is, he likes to see Aunt Cai face him. The little embarrassment that the mother involuntarily showed when she was a mother was generally harmonious, but after all, the time spent together was limited. It was difficult for Queen Cai Yanzhi to adapt to the new position that was unspeakable, and she intentionally or unintentionally avoided being alone with Zhao Jiadi.
There will be a municipal civil service examination in Shanghai in mid-April. Zhao Jiadi will take part, but this is not his ambition. The ultimate goal is the national examination at the end of the year. Since Chen Jing and Yang Feng, the two powerful uncles, are waiting to see what happens, Zhao Jiadi has no reason not to give it. A pretty good answer sheet.
Capital Airport, April 4th, Shang Hong returned to Canada. Soon she had solved some of the knots in her heart and was about to return to China. This trip was just to complete some formalities. Zhao Jiadi, who could still vaguely see that he was lame, rushed to Sichuan. Before that, he, his mother and Wang Banjin had gone to toast his grandfather's grave in advance. Along with Zhao Jiadi, who got off the plane at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport, in addition to his bodyguard Guo Qingniu and Wei Feng secretly, there was also Yang Pingping, who had skipped classes from Peking University. They went to the grave during the Qingming Festival, so don¡¯t rush into this formality. At first, Sister Pingping still had the energy to talk about how bad the food at Shuangliu Airport was, but the closer she got to the towns and Guanyin Village, the more silent she became. Grasshopper and Wei Feng were very sensible and tried to keep a distance along the way. Zhao Jiadi and Yang Pingping walked into the Hope Primary School in the countryside. The students were still in class. Zhao Jiadi was sitting on the playground in a daze. He and the students agreed in the letter that they would go to Guanyin Village this Qingming Festival.
Yang Pingping looked at his side face and was in a daze with him.
In the afterglow, the school bell rang. Zhao Jiadi got up and was about to go to the classroom to find someone. With sharp eyes, he saw the first familiar child on the second floor who rushed out of the corridor and was about to play with hoops. He shouted "Er baby!"
The child was stunned for a moment, looked down, and his eyes immediately turned red. He yelled for Teacher Zhao, and then went to various classrooms like crazy to call out the fellow villagers of Guanyin Village.
More than a dozen children stood in a row in front of Zhao Jiadi. Zhang Wumei, who was once the most beautiful girl in Guanyin Village and is now the most attractive girl in the entire township primary school, was also there, her eyes were moist as well.
Many students were lying on the railings watching this scene. They all know that the most beautiful girl in the school is from Guanyin Village, the one who studies best is also from Guanyin Village, and the one who fights the hardest is also from Guanyin Village, and thisThe girls are the most clinging to each other, and they will all stand up if they are bullied. Even the most good-looking Zhang Wumei has to come forward. She is so fierce when she puts her hands on her hips and curses. At first, someone made a joke about the death of Teacher Guanyincun, but Yoko, who was in fourth grade, gave her a good beating. She was beaten from the classroom to the dormitory and then from the dormitory to the playground. At first, the school wanted to give him a demerit, but Later it seemed like it didn't happen. From then on, no one would dare to make trouble with the Guanyin Village people, and no one would dare to ask Zhang Wumei to be my wife.
Zhao Jiadi smiled and said: "I will go to Guanyin Village first. Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. I will hire a minibus to pick you up."
That night, Zhao Jiadi still slept on the second floor of the old hall, which was used as a classroom. In fact, he did not sleep. Yang Pingping was not willing to live elsewhere and occupied the bed, but she refused to close her eyes even though she was wrapped in sheets. Zhao Jiadi sat in front of his desk and lit up. After a night of electric light and several administrative professional ability tests, Yang Pingping fell asleep at dawn. Zhao Jiadi did not wake her up. He ran to the top of the mountain alone in the morning and sat there, playing music on leaves. In the afternoon, I had lunch with Sister Pingping. The two of them walked around Guanyin Village. Zhao Jiadi was chatting with the villagers, busy passing out and receiving cigarettes. Sister Pingping was not crazy at all, she was gentle and quiet. Not a word was spoken. Then the two returned to Hope Primary School and took the children back to Guanyin Village. When they saw the car parked at the entrance of the village, Zhao Jiadi knew that Hu Li's parents were also here.
Go to the grave.
The children burst into tears.
Yang Pingping, who did not wear makeup for the first time, is no exception.
Hu Li¡¯s parents were also there, but they didn¡¯t say anything.
After sending the children back to school, Zhao Jiadi and Hu Li¡¯s father drank together on the second floor of the auditorium. This time, the middle-aged man stopped Zhao Jiadi from letting him drink more.
The couple rushed back to Chengdu overnight, leaving Zhao Jiadi and Yang Pingping on the second floor. The former was still sitting at the desk doing questions, while the latter looked at his back in a daze.
Late at night, Zhao Jiadi turned around and said softly: "Go to bed early."
Yang Pingping, who was not sleepy at all, shook her head.
Yang Pingping lowered her head and said: "Before the fox came here to teach, he told me to let me take care of you from now on. Don't let other vixens deceive you, not even those who are prettier than her."
Zhao Jiadi put down his pen, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't tell me that Sister Pingping also has a crush on me."
Yang Pingping raised her head and said, "Can't you?"
Zhao Jiadi did not answer.
Yang Pingping suddenly smiled and said: "You have a beautiful idea!"
Zhao Jia looked helpless at first, but his eyes were clear and he said: "I knew it."
Yang Pingping, who was hiding under the quilt, sighed for no reason: "Actually, you are quite tired."
Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said: "I'm not tired, it's true."
Yang Pingping took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision.
Zhao Jiadi stood up, opened the half-closed window, looked at the bright starry sky, and said to himself: "The great weather."
