Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 350
"Xu Jingli was just passing by, or a cover."

"By the way? Cover?"

"That's right!" Xiang Dongfang smiled and nodded.

"This Xu Jingli is a high-achieving student in the Chinese Department of our school. He is also an activist in our school, and because of his good looks, he is very popular.

She especially likes your poems and is one of your admirers.

This year, she is already in her senior year and will be graduating soon. According to the rules, all senior students in the Chinese Department must do graduation internships, and she is no exception.

She likes text editing very much and wants to do an internship in a publishing house. Unfortunately, as you know, in the current university internship, unless you are admitted to a graduate school like me, you can only follow the school's arrangement and go to a place designated by the school for internship.

Xu Jingli was assigned to work as a Chinese teacher in a middle school in the suburbs. The environment there was a bit harsh, which was a bit embarrassing for a city child like her who had never experienced hardship since childhood.

But the most important thing is that the middle school teacher is usually very busy and tired, and can't edit text at all, which is far from her ideal.

I think she is quite embarrassed, and she admires you very much, and her writing skills are not bad, so I want to bring her over to you for a try.

If you are willing to take her in, you will have a good helper almost for free, and she can also escape from the school that made her breathless and live a good life in the city again. "

"I see." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Why are you willing to help her so kindly?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "Is there a reason? I don't have many friends, so she is barely one.

The main reason is that she is also relatively arrogant, and basically everyone looks down on her, but she is very kind to me, and she will tell me what is on her mind.

Although I don't like her very much, having her here can save me a lot of trouble.

At the very least, bringing her to you to apply for a job can cover up my true intentions and make it look more real.

It's a pity, it seems that you have seen through me a long time ago, and my purpose of bringing her here as a cover is useless.

So, whether you want to keep her or not is up to you, if you like it, you can stay, if you don't, forget it. "

Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing: "That is to say, this Xu Jingli is just a tool that you brought along at random, in order to make your application at my place look more like a real thing, and also to paralyze me better?"

"Yes." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Is it really okay for you to say that? After all, people regard you as a true friend, but you treat him as a tool. If you say that, are you afraid that I will look down on you?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "For ordinary people, maybe yes, but you and I are the same kind of people, and we all see things from the same angle, so it's useless to play those falsehoods, it's better to tell the truth openly , so that I am comfortable and you are also comfortable, why don't you all relax? Why continue to guess?"

Cao Zhiqiang sighed, knowing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.

It seems that Xiang Dongfang really regards himself as her kind.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang was a little entangled in whether he should accept this Xiang Dongfang.

There is no doubt that Xiang Dongfang's ability is beyond doubt. He is proficient in both English and Japanese. He is still a rare graduate student in this period.

If there is no accident, he should be the first batch of graduate students of Beijing Normal University after the re-opening, and his gold content is absolutely leveraged.

This kind of talent is definitely a real elite with strong strength, which is different from the bad street in the later generations.

Not to mention, her family background is also very powerful, and she can really use it at critical moments, even if she doesn't, it's great to use it to pretend to be a tiger.

But her way of thinking is really difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked up at Xiang Dongfang, and found that Xiang Dongfang had been looking straight at him, his eyes seemed to be glowing, like a kitten was as excited as seeing a little mouse.

In such an instant, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly understood a little bit.

It seems that this is also her excuse for finding someone of the same kind.

Her real reason is that she is interested in herself.

If she is an ordinary person, it would be best to directly refuse.

But if a high-ranking kid like her, or a high-ranking kid with a superior IQ, is interested in him, but he rejects her, maybe it will only make her more interested.

The overall feeling is that people like Xiang Dongfang are talented and capable, but their thinking is different from ordinary people. At the same time, they have a high emotional intelligence and are very good at disguising.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was still hesitating, Xiang Dongfang narrowed his eyes and said:

"I can also speak French, German and Russian, all of which can be read, spoken and written proficiently.

I can also paint and violin, and as long as it is something I want to learn, as long as it is not particularly advanced, I can usually learn it quickly.

Believe me, if you let me stay by your side, it will definitely help you.

What's more, don't you want to have a similar person by your side?
Can you live with being surrounded by idiots all the time? "

Hearing what she said, Cao Zhiqiang sighed, "Can you read minds?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "I don't know how to read minds, but I have studied Western psychology. Although it was just a self-study behind closed doors, I have been observing words and expressions for a long time, and I have also summed up my own set of observations. Methods."

"Awesome!" Cao Zhiqiang said in surprise, "You can even micro-expression?"

Xiang Dongfang nodded: "I was able to read pure English books when I was seven years old, and that's when I came into contact with pure English versions of psychology in the library.

I found it very interesting, so when I was very young, I explored and practiced by myself, observed various people, and gradually figured out a set of my own theories.

Although it is incomparable to a big man who can really control his expression, I still caught your true intention when you showed your true feelings before.

The expression on your face just now meant that you were a little troubled.

There are only you and me here, and you have just heard my story, so it is obvious that your entanglement just now can only be whether to use me, whether to keep me, am I right? "

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Okay, if there is you, it is you!"

Xiang Dongfang suddenly narrowed his eyes and frowned: "Could it be that you deliberately showed conflict just now, just to test me for the last time, to test whether I can see your conflict?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, pretending to be profound and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I think?" Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly, "If it's me, then your expression just now was intentional, just to test my ability to perceive words and emotions! Hehe, I really read you right, you are really the same as me Humanoid."

"Amazing!" Cao Zhiqiang clapped his hands, "You are such a great talent, it's really a shame for you to be my tutor or my secretary."

"No, I think this is fine." Xiang Dongfang suddenly shook his head seriously.

"Being your sister's tutor, through your sister, I can get to know many of your private affairs that are not known to outsiders.

And as your personal secretary, you can spend more time with you and help you solve problems.

Of course, if I want to be your secretary in the future, I may not have much time to help your sister with her homework.

But it doesn't matter, I will find another reliable person to help guide them.

For example, Xu Jingli outside, I think it's pretty good. "

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I see, so you brought that Xu Jingli to my internship, in fact, you want her to join your unit so that she can take over your class and help you with my sister's homework?"

Xiang Dongfang shook his head: "You are wrong about this. The successor of the family teacher I am optimistic about is not Xu Jingli, but her younger sister."

"Her sister?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, "Why is there another sister?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled and said: "Xu Jingli is very ambitious and capable of working, but he is not a person who can stay at home.

Her learning ability and work ability are good, but she is not a good teacher because she has no patience with people, and especially hates mediocre people.

Don't look at her enthusiasm and politeness before, it's just an appearance.

She is actually a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. The so-called politeness is only on the surface. In fact, she values ​​herself the most, and she is impatient with people who are not as good as her. She only likes people with similar ability or better than her. .

To put it bluntly, she is a strong-willed person, as long as you are better than her in some areas she is good at, she will worship you and be willing to do all kinds of things for you.

But if she is inferior to her in all aspects, she will despise and look down on her, and will not have the patience to get along well with this kind of person.

With all due respect, although your two younger sisters are not bad, they are really average in terms of learning ability.

Not to mention comparing with me, even comparing with that Xu Jingli is far behind.

So asking Xu Jingli to be a substitute teacher would only make both parties unhappy.

It's her younger sister, I've met her a few times, she's the exact opposite of Xu Jingli, she's cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

At first, her sister may seem difficult to get in touch with, but once she gets to know her, she will be very enthusiastic, patient, informal, and a bit heroic.

Therefore, a person like Xu Jingli is suitable to be a scalper in the work unit.

In the unit, she can definitely do business and do it personally, and her ability is beyond words.

But in private, especially in teaching people to be a teacher, she is obviously not suitable. "

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "In other words, you think that Xu Jingli is not suitable to be a tutor, but is a workaholic?"

"Workaholic? Almost." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

"So, Xu Jingli is still a talent?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Definitely a talent!" Xiang Dongfang nodded again.

"However, she is too rigid, too serious, and stubborn in her bones.

If she is put in a government agency and starts from the bottom, she will definitely get into trouble with people very quickly, so she is suitable to be a leader directly, especially as the first and second in command.

If it is a leader, her business-like and self-cleaning style can at least prevent corruption and improve execution efficiency.

And her enthusiastic appearance, and of course her appearance, are also suitable for welcoming and sending off scenes.

For example, let her do public relations, she has absolutely no problem.

It's a pity that there is no unit that can directly let her a little girl be the leader, so it's hard to say what her future will be. "

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while: "You mean that she is not good at cooperating with others, but she can be independent. Is that what you mean?"

"Almost." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

"If you let her be a department head, go out to run business, and be a pioneer, do you think she can do it?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Department head? Run business, open up wasteland?" Xiang Dongfang frowned, "You mean, let her be a public relations director?"

"Public relations director?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it, "Almost."

Xiang Dongfang said: "I think there should be no problem. People like Xu Jingli have no ability to work, and they don't give up until they achieve their goals, and they drink a lot, so if we let her be the director of the public relations department, I think it will work." .”

"Very good!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "As long as you say yes, then there is no problem."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Actually, I think you are capable. It is more suitable to be the head of the personnel department. It is a bit inferior to let you be the secretary."

Xiang Dongfang smiled and said: "The head of the personnel department also listens to you, and if I were your personal secretary, then I would be under one person and above ten thousand people, and my power was even higher than the head of the personnel department.

Therefore, people with real vision still like to be a secretary, because although the secretary is humble, he is powerful! "

"It makes sense!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It seems that you also understand the way of officialdom."

Xiang Dongfang stroked his temples and smiled calmly: "I was born in the cadre compound, and I have been exposed to various bureaucrats since I was a child, and when I was very young, my father liked to take me to various occasions.

Yes, exactly the same as Zhongyong's father in Hurting Zhongyong.

Because I was very smart when I was young, I could learn everything quickly, and I was proficient in everything. Many adults couldn't compare to me.

When I was eight years old, I was invincible in the whole school playing chess. No one, old or young, could beat me in chess, go or even the military flag.

That is, after that time, everyone started to say that I was a child prodigy, and my dad even asked someone to test my IQ to confirm that I was born with a high IQ.

So, knowing that I was born with a high IQ, my dad was overjoyed all day long, took me with him every meal, and even told me things that children shouldn't know.

After a long time, I have been influenced by my ears and eyes, and I also know a thing or two about the way of officialdom.

However, knowing that it is expensive to know does not mean that I like these ways, nor does it mean that I have to do it.

In fact, I kind of hate those bureaucratic ways.

Because I hate trouble, I hate excitement, and I like quietness.

It's a pity that my father never knew what I liked. He always thought that I liked excitement, so it annoyed me to death every day. "

"Then why didn't you tell your father directly?" Cao Zhiqiang asked curiously, "Since your father likes you so much, if you just say that you hate meeting guests and like to be quiet, then your father should be able to satisfy you, right?"

"I've said it before." Xiang Dong said expressionlessly, "I said it a long time ago, I hate seeing those uncles and aunts, I like to be alone, I like to be quiet, but it's useless.

Every time I say this, every time my father knows it, and he doesn't change it every time, he still takes me to meet the guests every time.

It was like this again and again, and I realized later that he didn't care about my opinion at all, and only thought that what I said was childish.

To put it bluntly, my father was also a selfish person. He only thought that my presence would make him look good and make him more face-saving, but he never thought about my own feelings.

He is the kind of traditional patriarch, the family members must listen to him, and are not allowed to violate his will.

No matter how much he loves me, the things in his bones will not change. "

"That's why you want to escape from that family and your father?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"There must be a reason." Xiang Dongfang smiled faintly, "However, maybe I have his blood on my body, so I also inherited some of my father's self-centered character.

Therefore, although my family has been very kind to me since I was a child, I have never liked that family since I was a child, and I have disliked those family members since I was a child.

I just want to do what I want to do, I just want to have more freedom, I just want to have a life that I have the final say on, that's all. "
