Revival Road

Chapter 177 Gossip
Tao Tang came out of the meeting room of the Ministry of Development and Regulations. When he passed the second floor, he didn't go back to the office, but went downstairs. Li Zhibin, who followed Tao Tang with a Tao Tang water glass and a notebook, felt strange, because this was not in line with Mr. Tao's habits. Regardless of whether you are leaving the workshop or holding a meeting in the conference room, even if it is too late, you must always return to the office before work.

"Editor Xu, can you give me a copy of the recording of Mr. Tao's speech just now?" Li Zhibin said to Xu Deyu who attended the meeting and recorded the audio.

"Yes," Xu Deyu said, "Do you want it now?"

"That's not urgent. I'll find you."

"Are you going to the cafeteria?"

"What's up?"

"I have something to ask Secretary Li..."

"No sarcasm, come on..."

When he came to Li Zhibin's office, Xu Deyu asked, "It's simple, let me delay you for a few minutes, and I won't miss your meal. I think Mr. Tao's speech today is very good. What do you think?"

"What did you say today? Does it mean that you didn't speak well before?"

"Don't interrupt, I mean, if the full text of Mr. Tao's speech is published in the newspaper, is it appropriate?"

"Your manuscripts have always won Mr. Tao's appreciation. In this regard, I am willing to bow down. If you think it is suitable, you can see it in the newspaper." Li Zhibin looked at Xu Deyu with a smile, and he had a lot of dealings with Xu Deyu recently.

"Don't be bureaucratic!" Went to Anzhou together, Xu Deyu and Li Zhibin got used to it a lot, "As for Mr. Luo and Assistant Liu, Minister Cui accepted the task and wanted to organize several weighty articles. I wrote one , did not pass the test, Minister Cui said it was too empty, it seemed to be copied, I really couldn’t write it, so I took part in this meeting, I think Mr. Tao read it more thoroughly, but some of his formulations, I'm a little bit unsure..."

When Chen Yan opened the door and came in, Li Zhibin said to his fiancee, "You go first, I have something to say to Editor-in-Chief Xu"

"Forget it, don't bother you two."

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Yan smiled and waved her hands, "You talk about it"

"Then wait a minute, I didn't keep it secret from you." Xu Deyu held Chen Yan back.

"I think it's better not to appear in the newspaper." Li Zhibin thought for a while, "President Tao actually talked about three issues today. The first is to express regret for Assistant Liu's mistakes and to affirm Assistant Liu's ability and past contributions. I’m afraid it’s not easy to be published in the newspaper? The second is to analyze the subjective and objective factors of his mistakes, especially the objective management loopholes. This, I don’t think it will be published in the newspaper, because "Red Star News" is to report to the group The third is the criticism of the Department of Regulations, especially the criticism of the team members' dereliction of duty. They think that it is an extremely vulgar attitude to turn a blind eye and protect one's self. If it is published, the Department of Regulations will be discredited... So, I don't think it's good to see the newspaper"

Xu Deyu nodded, "As expected of a big secret, I summed it up well." She recalled Tao Tang's speech just now, especially the severe criticism of Lu Qi, Duan Hui, and Gao Jiming. Tao Tang believed that what they held was irrelevant. Liu Xinjun's self-sacrificing attitude of self-defense "harmed" and even tarnished the reputation of the Development and Regulation Department, an important department known as the general manager's staff department.Indeed, if the original words of Tao Tang's criticism of the Ministry of Public Security were published, the leaders and employees of the Ministry of Public Security would be disgraced.Thinking of Lu Qi's ashamed expression just now, Xu Deyu realized that his thinking was too simple, "Thank you, I really thought too simple... I won't delay you, oh, when will I eat your wedding candy? You have to say something when you have a wedding."

"Definitely." Li Zhibin smiled and sent Xu Deyu out of the door.

"Did Mr. Tao criticize Director Lu just now?" Chen Yan asked.Chen Yan did not attend the meeting just now.

"It's not just criticizing Director Lu...it's criticizing the Department of Regulations, but also criticizing Secretary Zhao and Chairman Guo... Mr. Tao is very sad about this matter...Hey, why don't you go to cook first? I have to clean up."

"What are you eating. Let's go out and eat."

"Hey, what day is today?"

"It's not a day, I just want to comfort myself. Hey, I'm sure that Director Lu must be criticized by Mr. Tao for the first time."

"Why does it sound wrong to me? What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending. I don't believe you haven't heard the gossip that Lu Qi is Mr. Tao's absolute confidant, and some rumors spread so wickedly."

"I really didn't hear... who is talking nonsense?" Li Zhibin became alert.

"Don't look at me like that! There are a lot of rumors in our unit, you just can't hear them. I can't hear them anymore... Actually, I don't believe in those nonsense at all, but the world is like this, who makes Director Lu a big man?" Beautiful women, and they are classmates, oh, I also heard that they had a better life at the beginning..."

"This is not a trivial matter!" Li Zhibin was anxious, "Dr. Jia said it, right? Don't get involved with them!"

"No, it came from the confidential room. I heard it from Wang Zhiping. Hey, don't tell Mr. Tao, this is no joke!"

"Confidential room? You know it's not a joke? Chen Yan, you have to think clearly, in the eyes of others, we are both people on Tao Bus"

"I need you to remind me of this? It's my wish that you can make a name for yourself with Mr. Tao. Hey, I regret telling you. Anyway, you can't make a small report this time. If you catch up, they must know that I leaked the news "

"Chen Yan, I can't hear some rumors, but you have to prick up your ears!" Li Zhibin opened the door and looked outside, the corridor was silent, all the leaders and secretaries on the second floor were off work, he closed the door, He lowered his voice, "There have been accidents in the factory, and now the leaders are all in danger. Didn't you see what happened to the leaders when Mr. Tao went to Beijing for a few days? It was our unit who stared at the chair left by Director Zhang It's not just Secretary Zhu. In some cases, you really told me that Mr. Tao is a decent person, and he may not have thought that some villains below would plot against him... If you can't catch him with the economic problem, start with the style problem , I don't think this matter is simple..."

"I really let you talk. Mr. Liu said that the team only has a few heads of garlic, so they can live like this? Do you think she is afraid?"

"Mr. Liu? Who did she tell?"

"It seems to be with Director Pan. I was going to deliver documents to Mr. Liu, and I heard it at the door..."

"What else?"

"There's also something about picking soft persimmons..."

Soft persimmon?In any case, Luo Chong can't be considered a persimmon, right?She, Liu Xiuyun, is really a soft persimmon. Mr. Tao still trusts her, but she speaks strange things behind her back. "Let's go, let's find a place to eat! I'll come and clean up early tomorrow." Li Zhibin didn't want to continue talking, checked the filing cabinet, turned off the lights, and dragged his girlfriend out.

Tao Tang came out of the office building and walked to his brother's house.When he went to Beijing, Tao Youdao and Tao Meiling picked up his parents from Binjiang, and everything went well, but he returned to the factory at noon and had two meetings in a row, but he hadn't seen his parents yet.

The mother-in-law has rushed to Binjiang to take over the task of taking care of her daughter.His mother-in-law and Fang Ke called him respectively, asking him to rest assured about Xiao He.Xiaohe's senior high school entrance examination has long since ended, and she traveled to Mount Tai with her classmates. Her grades were not bad, and she was admitted to Binjiang No.This is a very ideal result. First, it is a key middle school, and second, it is close to home.For Xiaohe, the next three years will be tense.Tao Tang originally thought that his daughter who didn't work hard might not be able to enter the third middle school, so he was ready to spend money, but Xiao He was very upbeat and released a big satellite.This made him very happy. For this reason, Tao Tang "sponsored" his daughter's 1 yuan in travel expenses. Xiao He was very happy, and he told him afterwards that Xiao He bought a miniipad.

Today is a family reunion, he must attend.When he passed by, the cold dishes were already on the table, waiting for him.

I haven't seen my parents for a few months, and the second elder seems to be in good spirits, probably because of returning to his hometown. The second elder is smiling, and his mother pulls him to greet him, which makes him feel very kind.After asking about the situation on the road, the mother praised Youdao endlessly. She took Youdao with her and felt very sorry for the eldest grandson who had already received a marriage certificate and was about to have a wedding.

"Youdao is not bad, you can be regarded as having obtained the blessing of Youdao," Tao Tang said with a smile.Deji is a Hiraizumi dialect, which means that the elders are respected physically by the younger generation.

"That's it," the mother said cheerfully, "I went to see Youdao's new house, yes, Youdao's daughter-in-law is also good, and you still want to pick me and your father there, haha, what a good boy..."

"Hey, why, Xiao Wang didn't come?" Tao Tang asked his nephew who was giggling.

"She just has something to do today..." Tao Youdao kept scratching his head.

"Oh"

"Second brother, let's serve dinner, I'll wait for you," Tao Meiling said.

"Okay, let's serve dinner." Tao Tang helped his mother up, "It's rare to have a reunion dinner."

"The only thing missing is Xiao He..." the old lady muttered.

The old father had already entered the table. Seeing Tao Jin take out a bottle of red wine, Tao Tang said, "No, our father should stop drinking. Let him have some juice."

"Yes, he can't drink. But you guys should have some"

Wu Shi'an, who was wearing an apron, came over, "Then it's white, and the red wine is boring. Big brother, why don't you take out the good wine you saved?"

"Okay, take it out." Bai Shuxian went to the back room to fetch a bottle of Moutai.

"One bottle is not enough, sister-in-law," Wu Shi'an shouted.

"Okay, let's go to the end." Tao Tang waved his hand.

After the meal, old man Tao called Tao Tang to the room Tao Jin vacated for them.

"Second brother, sit here." The old man patted the head of the bed, "Let me say a few words to my second child, you can go out." The old man kicked the old lady out.

"Dad you say"

"I've been back for four days, and I've seen a lot of old guys... They all talked about you..."

"Oh"

"You don't ask me what they say about you?"

"Hey, how can my position not be discussed? I'm used to it."

"Have you been back for four months? There's been quite a commotion. Even Secretary Xia's son-in-law was brought in by you..."

Secretary Xia is Luo Chong's father-in-law, who was the deputy party secretary of Red Star.

"I didn't get him in. He deserved it"

"Although I have been ill for a while, my brain is not broken yet." The old man sighed, "I really didn't expect my son to become the leader of Red Star. When you returned to Red Star, I told you on the phone, Red Star It's not easy to do... It's not like you are in Binjiang. How is it? It's a headache, right?"

"It's nothing, just try your best." Tao Tang smiled.

"My old guys all praised you...that you are a good official. I know you are a good official for so many years. I don't worry if you don't take possession of them. If you don't even help them both, how can you mess up? Playing power?"

Tao Tang understood that the two of them his father meant were the elder brother and the younger sister, but he didn't answer the conversation and just listened quietly.

"I don't understand the affairs of the public house as a coolie, and I don't have anything to teach you. Our old Tao's family has you, and it's like smoke on the ancestral grave. When your mother and I came back, many leaders of the company came to visit , When I was at work, it was difficult to talk to the bosses in the factory. It was all because of your face. But the old saying must not be careless, you should refrain from doing things that offend others... You may not spend your whole life in Hongxing, but your brother and sister will not be able to leave, they, especially Youdao, will live here for the rest of their lives, don't block Youdao's way..." The old man took his son's hand .

"Dad, I understand what you mean. I don't want to offend anyone. But if I don't remove the thorns in the big guy's heart, everyone's anger will not go smoothly, and the factory has no hope. I can't take the government for nothing. That money?" Tao Tang said softly.

"An old man came here yesterday and told me a story about the Han Dynasty. I didn't quite understand it. He said there was a man named Chao Cuo?"

"Yes, the minister of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty. He was beheaded by the emperor for suggesting the reduction of feudal clans." Tao Tang smiled, "I understand what this person means. He must have told you that the Han family is safe, but the Chao family is in danger. Bar?"

"It seems to have said so"

"He was entrusted by others." Tao Tang smiled. "Now is not the feudal era. I have nothing to do with them. What can they do to me? Dad, don't worry, I am in my forties, not a stunned young man Yes, I know how to measure. I don’t want to punish people, as long as I don’t go too far.”

"That's good." The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while, "And it's your business. Fang Lan has been away for six or seven years. You can't live alone for the rest of your life. Your mother always talks about it, otherwise she will let her go. Don't worry. I didn't agree with Xiao Ke at first. After all, you are far behind in age. It doesn't seem to be bad now. At least she treats Xiao He well, and Xiao He also accepts her. I advise you to just let her know. Don't delay people"

"Dad, don't worry about this matter, it has to satisfy me." Tao Tang smiled, "I also want to tell you a few words, come back, live with my brother and sister-in-law, turn a blind eye Eyes are the best, don't meddle in their business. If you have any requirements in life, tell me."

"I know this. Your mother is still talking about going to Youdao's place, she is so confused. How can anyone rely on grandchildren for retirement? Let me tell you, you have occupied the house with Youdao, and there will be some troubles in the future"

"I know. The house was originally bought for you and my mother to take care of, but I gave it to Youdao when I got hot. It doesn't matter, let's talk about it later, and it will be taken care of. Don't worry about these things." Tao Tang felt old Father's mind is clear and he is very pleased.
