Lianliankan

Chapter 128
In front of Zhao Ye, Zhou Bingkun had nothing to hide. He immediately talked about how Hao Dongmei helped Cai Xiaoguang go to college, and how the Hao family released their pigeons during the Chinese New Year.

In the end, he complained with resentment all over his face: "Brother Xiao Ye, tell me, what kind of in-laws are these?"

Zhao Ye also looked down on the actions of Hao Dongmei's parents, but he didn't want to express too much opinion on it, so he had to change the subject:

"As the old saying goes, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Don't ask me about it. You should look into it yourself. Let's continue talking about your compilation. How long have you been working for Gold Land Publishing House?"

"I joined the job on April 28, and it will be exactly half a year until the end of this month."

"Half a year, that's about the same." Zhao Ye pondered for a while, and then told Zhou Bingkun: "In this way, you ask Shao Jingwen to write another recommendation letter to the publishing house, which will mention your contribution more, and you don't have to do anything else. Leave the rest to me."

Zhou Bingkun was not Zhao Ye whom he met on the first day. He knew immediately after hearing this that the things he had compiled were almost inseparable, and he immediately expressed his gratitude with a smile.

"Okay, let's save this matter and talk about it later."

With that said, Zhao Ye looked at his watch and asked Zhou Bingkun, "It's so late, do you want me to drive you for a ride?"

Zhou Bingkun pointed in the direction of the counter, and replied with a bitter face: "Today's account has not been settled yet, I will go back by bicycle later."

"Well, I'm leaving first, call me if you need anything!"

Zhou Bingkun personally sent Zhao Ye back. As soon as he entered the door, Shao Jingwen approached him nervously and asked, "How is it? What did Doctor Zhao say?"

Zhou Bingkun repeated Zhao Ye's words with a smile, and Shao Jingwen patted his thigh and said, "Alright, I'll write the recommendation letter tonight, and I'm sure I'll hand it over to the president in person tomorrow morning."

On the other hand, when Zhao Ye drove home, he was inevitably complained by Gao Xiaoqin. He explained a few words casually, and after asking his son, he suddenly proposed: "The day after tomorrow is Sunday, let's go to my parents for dinner?"

After all, Gao Xiaoqin has been working in the office for a few years, and upon hearing this, she knew that her husband had something to do, so she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Dad has just been promoted, and someone asked you to do something?"

Zhao Ye took off his coat, lay down next to Gao Xiaoqin, told about Zhang Tianke, and finally sighed: "I can't help it, I don't want to owe you a favor. It was Zhang Tianke who helped Han Jianguo's daughter-in-law work earlier. It’s on my head, I really can’t shirk it.”

Gao Xiaoqin, who was covering Zhao Ye with a quilt, was finally relieved when she found out that the matter was not serious: "It's a good thing you only agreed to ask him, otherwise Dad would definitely be angry."

Zhao Ye noticed that there was a difference in what he said, so he turned his head and asked, "Why, is there any obstacle inside?"

"When I went to pick up Xiaobao a few days ago, I overheard my father calling someone. It seemed that Liu Guangxiong, the deputy director of the flax factory, had a problem with several workshop directors."

Zhao Ye understood immediately, and then said with a headache, "Then how can I talk back to Zhang Tianke? I can't tell the truth, can I?"

Gao Xiaoqin gave him an idea: "You just tell him that the city is currently in short supply, and the funds promised to the flax factory will have to wait for a while."

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up, he leaned over and kissed Gao Xiaoqin hard on the face, and praised: "No wonder people say that a good wife is like a treasure!"

"What a mess, I've never heard of it. It's obvious that there is an old man in the family, and it's like a treasure!"

Zhao Ye argued: "The meaning is the same anyway, so why care about this?"

While speaking, he did not forget to stretch out Lushan's claws, but Gao Xiaoqin slapped his hand away and prevented him from making the next move.

"Wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you!"

"What can't we talk about tomorrow, why do we have to pick this time?" Zhao Ye complained, but he stopped and waited for Gao Xiaoqin's next words.

"That's what happened. The organization asked me to talk to me today. Hearing what he meant might add to my burden. I want to hear your opinion first."

Zhao Ye thought about it for a while, and then expressed his thoughts: "I think the current situation is quite good. Your job in the Bureau of Culture and Education is easy and decent, and there is no need to go further."

Gao Xiaoqin said with some displeasure: "What do you mean by drilling a camp? This kind of good talk will turn bad once it reaches your mouth."

"Okay, even if I said something wrong, it's not rough, right?"

"I think you're right to use strong words and reason. Can't I pursue a little bit and do something practical for the people?"

"Aren't I afraid that you will be tired? And I heard rumors that the higher-ups may introduce a policy that relatives of officials cannot do business in their jurisdiction."

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Gao Xiaoqin was taken aback for a moment, then she became concerned about another question: "Are you going to do business in Jichun in the future?"

Zhao Ye replied honestly: "There is such a plan, but it should be a few years later."

Gao Xiaoqin was silent for a moment, then said awkwardly: "I don't have any problems. At worst, I will sit in the Qingshui Yamen in the future, but what about Dad, who will persuade him?"

Zhao Ye did his part and said, "Since I brought it up, it's up to me to say it."

"Okay, then I will report to my superiors tomorrow, saying that I have failed the organization's years of cultivation."

"Well, in order to thank my wife for your sacrifices, I will do my best tonight and die!"

"Fuck you, don't be ashamed!"

…………

To the surprise of Zhao Ye and his wife, after listening to their ideas, Gao Yuan agreed after a little thought, and also promised to use his relationship to transfer Gao Xiaoqin to another job.

Seeing her father being so reasonable, Gao Xiaoqin was puzzled and said, "Dad, don't you feel disappointed?"

Gao Yuan said: "You girl, why should I be disappointed? Just say your sister, she was going to support the frontier with Wang Hongbin, didn't I still not stop her?
Moreover, Dad and Ono have the same thoughts, and I don’t want you to be exhausted because of work and neglect your family. This is my advice as a person who has experienced it, and some selfishness as a father. "

Gao Xiaoqin was so moved that she went into a coma on the spot, and Zhao Ye hurriedly said comforting words: "Look at you, how old you are and still cry, I'm not afraid that your son will come in and laugh at you later!"

"If he dares to laugh at his mother, I'll beat him up!"

"Dad, testify, this is what Xiaoqin said personally, I'll go to Mom and bring my son here!"

Gao Xiaoqin became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Ye who was about to leave, and said coquettishly, "Oh, you are so annoying, I don't even bother to talk about you!"

Looking at the scene in front of Gao Yuan, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Okay, okay! If it's okay, you go back to your own house and make trouble. I still have some documents to look at."

Seeing that his father-in-law was going to chase someone away, Zhao Ye hurriedly stated another purpose of his trip: "Dad, I have something to trouble you for."

Without waiting for her father to reply, Gao Xiaoqin asked: "Haven't we settled the matter of Zhang Tianke, what else should we say to Dad?"

"It has nothing to do with Zhang Tianke, it's another small..."

Gao Yuan, who was listening to the conversation between the two, interrupted his son-in-law: "Wait, why are you talking about Zhang Tianke again? Are you talking about Zhang Tianke from the flax factory?"

Zhao Ye glared at Gao Xiaoqin, so he had no choice but to truthfully explain the relationship between him and Zhang Tianke to his father-in-law.

Gao Yuan did not comment on this, but gave a statement similar to that of Gao Xiaoqin, suggesting that Zhao Ye should just prevaricate as he pleases, and not get involved too much.

Zhao Ye agreed wholeheartedly, and then brought up Zhou Bingkun's matter again.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan was extremely speechless: "Why do you always care about trivial matters in your day-to-day life?"

Zhao Ye gave a dry laugh, and explained cheekily: "That man is my neighbor's child. He grew up with me, and he begged me. I just wanted to..."

"Okay, I'll tell Secretary Wang, don't make an example!"

Coming out of his father-in-law's study, Gao Xiaoqin immediately dragged Zhao Ye to a corner, and asked with displeasure, "Is that Zhou Bingkun you mentioned Zhou Rong's younger brother?"

How could Zhao Ye not know what his wife was thinking, and immediately pretended to be surprised and asked: "It's him, what's the problem?"

"What's the problem you said, tell me honestly, did Zhou Rong ask you?"

"Don't always be suspicious. Zhou Bingkun is Zhou Rong's younger brother, but he is also my neighbor. If you still don't believe me, you can call Li Weimin. He saw it with his own eyes."

"Really?" Gao Xiaoqin stared suspiciously at her husband, and seeing his frank expression, she suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, go to the kitchen and help mom, I'm going to be so hungry!"
