Jagged City - Chapter 280 Mind your own business

Mr. Feng, a leading figure in the field of economics and finance, with excitement and excitement in his eyes, watched Lin Tao finish the eight dishes, and he seemed to be unsatisfied.Therefore, at the dinner table, not only had a great appetite, but also made an exception and drank two taels of Moutai. ┏ _ ┓

Old Feng smiled slightly and said, "I am respected as an expert in the domestic economic and financial field, but I can't reach the highest level on the international stage. As for Kobayashi's knives and cooking skills, I dare say, There's no one like it."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Brother Feng is too famous, this kid is just a moment of excitement, just playing tricks."

Feng Lao said: "The word "seriousness" is the most feared in the world. Kobayashi has wisdom. If hard work and interest are added, I think Kobayashi can also achieve extraordinary achievements in the field of economics and finance."

Lin Tao smiled shyly: "Although the students are self-studying some economics and financial secretaries, they feel very messy, like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant, with only a half-knowledge."

Feng Lao nodded and said: "It's okay, as the saying goes, there is a specialization in art. Now that you are studying in the party school, the work pressure is relatively relaxed. With such a learning environment, I believe that the progress will be very fast. I will list some books for you later. The directory—well, I almost have it in my study—now that I have enough food and drink, follow me to the study to find books.”

Feng Lao took Lin Zhiyuan and his son into the study on a whim.The study room is about [-] square meters. There are six rows of bookshelves inside, and there are three higher bookshelves leaning against the wall. Lin Tao glanced at it and found that there are nearly [-] books densely packed.

Mr. Feng excitedly took out books in English from the bookshelf, and each time he took out a book, he had to briefly introduce the author of the book, the relevant theories, and the achievements he had made.The father and son of the Lin family listened attentively, they were good students.After turning around, Lin Tao held more than 20 thick brick-like tomes in his hands.Almost up to the chin.

After Mr. Feng stopped, he laughed and said: "It's almost done, Xiaolin, you have to read these books carefully, and I will leave you two thesis topics. I will also send some bibliographies to your mailbox, you can use them as a reference, Go to the library and look for it."

"Teacher, these are all your treasured books. Otherwise, I will copy down the bibliography and look for it myself." Lin Tao said cautiously.

Feng Lao said disapprovingly: "If you look for these books by yourself, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time, and it's more difficult to find the original version. Books are originally for learning. Although they are a bit of decoration for me, they are not as good as others. Study hard."

Lin Tao admired Mr. Feng's open-minded attitude very much. The father and son drank a cup of coffee with Mr. Feng and chatted for a while before leaving.

On the way back to Mingyue Lake Hotel, Lin Zhiyuan asked his son why he was sure that Mr. Feng was willing to call him brother and brother.

Lin Tao explained with a smile, but based on the decoration of the home, he deduced that Mr. Feng is a person who follows the fashion and keeps pace with the times, and he is very young at heart. It is annoying to be called Mr. Feng all day long.Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Your boy is quite accurate in my heart. I have been to his house once, and although I can see this, I feel that he is a master of economics. It would be a bit frivolous if I followed Feng Lao's wishes and called him a brother. , so a cautious approach has been taken.”

Lin Tao nodded and said: "That's true. Sometimes, under the aura of reputation, status and status, it is difficult for this kind of person to be treated as an ordinary person. Some people are used to this kind of aura or the feeling of being aloof and admired by everyone, but some people like secular people. However, as long as it is respect from the heart, no matter how you address it, the other party can always feel it."

"Yeah, I didn't reduce my respect for Brother Feng just because I called him. It seems that I used to be a little too conformist, not as flexible as you."

Lin Tao suddenly smiled and said, "Dad, it's been almost half a year since your wedding with your little mom. Is there any news about my younger siblings?"

"You bastard, it's not big or small!" Lin Zhiyuan patted Lin Tao's head in anger, his old face turned red.

Lin Tao scratched his head and laughed, and continued disapprovingly: "Dad, although you have children and grandchildren around your knees, but my little mother has never been a mother. Is my little mother the kind of person who doesn't like children?"

"Who said she doesn't like children anymore—you boy—" Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help being amused when he found out that his son had been involved in him again.I feel that it is really weird to discuss with my son the issue of having a child with my step-wife.

"Dad, Xiao Xiao and I are very supportive of having a child with you and my little mother. Our family is now a big family, even if we come to have two or three younger siblings, we can afford it—"

"Okay, I know what you mean. Stop talking nonsense, and besides, I'll beat you!" Lin Zhiyuan said with a stern face.Lin Tao pretended to be scared.Lin Zhiyuan smiled wryly, leaned on the back seat, and closed his eyes.Although Lin Zhiyuan is a double Ph.D., he is not exempt from customs, although Lin Tao said before that he welcomes multiple siblings.But Lin Zhiyuan had to think about whether Zhu Yueting would compete for the company's interests because of his own child in the future if he really had one more child. His wife, but his son Lin Tao is more important in his heart.He didn't want to have conflicts with his son in the future.But the reality is that Zhu Yueting is still very young and full of maternal love. I can't deprive you of a woman's right to be a mother. That would be too cruel.Originally after marriage, Zhu Yueting talked to Lin Zhiyuan about having a child. Lin Zhiyuan excused that the company was developing rapidly, and waited another year or two until the company stabilized.Although Zhu Yueting agreed, Lin Zhiyuan also knew that his wife had a lump in her heart.This time, Lin Tao mentioned it again, and Lin Zhiyuan also decided in his heart that he would have another child. Now that his son is not around, he and Zhu Yueting are husband and wife. If there is no accident, they will be together forever.What is rare is that his son Lin Tao is broad-minded and very understanding. From his son's words, Lin Zhiyuan can naturally hear that his son understands his concerns.Besides, if Lin Tao has multiple younger siblings, even if there is trouble, it will take more than ten or even twenty years. Lin Zhiyuan feels that his worries are a bit unnecessary.As the saying goes, the boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge.Why do you think about the long term.

Lin Zhiyuan thought, thought, and fell asleep in the car.Lin Tao looked at his father and felt that in these years, he had never seen his father's face so closely.Although my father doesn't look old, the crow's feet around his eyes and the occasional white hairs on his temples still show signs of age.Life is only a few decades in a hurry. His mother left early, and Lin Tao had no chance to repay her.You can only put your love for your mother on your father.But Lin Tao is not with his father all the year round, and it is his younger mother Zhu Yueting who really takes care of him. If the younger mother is unhappy, his father's life will also lose color.Lin Tao is a considerate young man, so considering his father's concerns, he let his father and mother have a child pretending to be playful.After all, it is the little mother Zhu Yueting who will be with her father in the future, and the love between husband and wife cannot be replaced by a son's filial piety.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Mingyue Lake.Lin Tao made a gesture to silence Xiao Guan, Xiao Guan understood, stopped the car smoothly, and leaned on the seat.But Lin Zhiyuan still woke up, looked at Lin Tao and said, "Here we are."

"It's here, I thought you would sleep more!" Lin Tao laughed.

"There are so many things going on in the company, how can I sleep soundly, it's good to be lazy, let's go!" Lin Zhiyuan opened the car door by himself and got out.Lin Tao hurriedly followed.

"Okay, Xiaotao, you can go home if you have nothing to do. You have to read carefully the book that Mr. Feng gave you. Although Mr. Feng is very optimistic about you, if you don't show some grades, saying that you are a student of Mr. Feng will not let you go." Human jokes are not."

"It's okay, you are busy with your work, I will go to the hotel." Lin Tao smiled.

In this way, the father and son went up the stairs from the underground parking lot.Lin Zhiyuan directly pressed the eighteenth floor.Lin Tao pressed the first floor of the hall.At the elevator entrance on the first floor, the father and son separated.

Lin Tao entered the hall. Although it was evening, many guests came in from outside the door one after another. Some went to the front desk to check in, and some went upstairs directly.There are people on the sofas resting in several places in the lobby.In particular, a few soldiers caught Lin Tao's mind. Although there was a distance of [-] meters, Lin Tao could see the familiar figure from the side.He was the peak of the students he trained at the beginning.Moreover, Gao Feng has done several things with Lin Tao, so he is very familiar with Lin Tao and a relatively close subordinate.However, the three people sitting around were obviously drinking coffee in a low mood, and it seemed that there was something troublesome.

Lin Tao is not the type of person who is always looking for trouble, and is always happy to help others, but Gao Feng has always left a good impression on Lin Tao, and he still wants to help if he can.Lin Tao walked towards Gao Feng.

"Gao Feng, can you do it? Back then, your breasts were so loud! If you can't make a reservation, you will be a pain in the ass for me."

"I said, Zhao Gang, it's not authentic for you to say that. Our two brothers have worn out our lips and broken our legs because of your plan to pick up girls. Don't even think about it. Such a big hotel was booked half a year ago. It's full, don't say it, you're making a mess now." Jing Peng said dissatisfied.

Zhao Gang's complexion changed slightly, and he said hastily: "I didn't mean that, I'm not in a hurry, me. Tell me, is it easy for me? I'm already in my thirties. I finally have an opportunity. Can I miss it? Brothers help me You can see that I'm not an ungrateful person, am I in a hurry. It's all her cousin's fault, and I have to hold a banquet and a five-star hotel, isn't that cheating!"

Jing Peng sneered and said, "It's not my brother who removed the ladder for you. He made it clear that he was giving you a problem. On the other hand, it can also be seen that those children from the capital are comparing each other's wealth and wealth. Even if you handle it this time, then next time What? Is such a rich lady really suitable for a rough old man like you?"

"What's wrong with me? What's so good about them, isn't it just that they have good parents? I'm also a regimental lieutenant colonel now. I don't care about me if I have two bad money. Look at me in the future, what will I do?" Get rid of these grandchildren. Brother Gao, for the sake of your brother's future, you just have to be cheeky and beg Chief Lin. Didn't you say that our army cadres have priority here?"

"The chief has a lot of things to do every day. You think it's us. I have the nerve to trouble the chief for such a trivial matter. I know the manager of the banquet hall, and he made an exception to let me check the reservation arrangement. It is true that one is full next to the other. I can't put They booked in advance and squeezed out, right?" Gao Feng said with a frown.

"Boss--Hello, Chief!" Jing Peng stood up abruptly.

"Okay, you've used this trick once today, and you're still here—" Although Gao Feng didn't believe Jing Peng, he turned around and saw Lin Tao walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Chief!" Gao Feng stood up abruptly, so excited that he almost brought the single sofa chair down.That Zhao Gang also stood up, but he was a little confused, thinking, where is the chief?Could it be the young man in casual clothes in front of him?

"Xiao Gao, Jing Peng, you are here, you are welcome to sit down."

"Zhao Gang, this is Chief Lin!" Jing Peng glared fiercely at Zhao Gang who was in a daze.Zhao Gang is of medium height, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and slightly dark skin. He looks very simple and honest, but he is actually a handsome person. Otherwise, he would not have pursued the daughter of the capital.

"Hello, Chief!" Zhao Gang snapped, saluted the military, straightened his back, straightened his chest and drew in his abdomen, holding his breath.

"Okay, okay, sit down. Zhao Gang is in the same army as you?"

Zhao Gang, who was about to sit down, immediately stood up straight again, and said loudly, "Report to the chief, I am—"

Lin Tao signaled Zhao Gang to sit down, looking at this nervous black man, Lin Tao felt quite interesting.When Lin Tao walked over just now, he heard a few words of their conversation.Willing to help him.

After hearing what happened, Lin Tao smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter. Let me ask for you. Even if there is no place in Mingyue Lake, other places are okay? There are many high-end places that can hold banquets."

Lin Tao called the banquet manager, and when he asked, the line was full, and there was no idle banquet hall before ten o'clock in the evening.Lin Tao can't instruct the manager to push away the customers who made the reservation casually.

Zhao Gang also heard it, and his face turned gray. It seemed that there was nothing going on.Zhao Gang tried his best to smile and wanted to thank Lin Tao for his help, even if there was no room, he was very grateful, but before he could speak, Lin Tao waved his hand to stop him.

Lin Tao made another call.

"It's me, Director Li, okay—hehe, everything is fine. I have something to ask you—now, do you have any vacant banquet halls in the next two days?—A hundred people or so will do—OK, then Thank you. See you another day."

Gao Feng asked a little excitedly: "Sir, what place is it?"

Zhao Gang also smirked, looking at Lin Tao, Lin Tao said indifferently: "It's the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, No. 202 Lu, [-] Small Banquet Hall, reservations can be made at [-]:[-] tomorrow night."

Seeing Zhao Gang's smirk, Jing Peng was so angry that he kicked Zhao Gang hard, what do you mean by smirk?

Zhao Gang hurriedly stood up, bowed to Lin Tao and said, "Thank you, Chief, you are really my reborn parents!"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "As for it, what a big deal!"

Zhao Gang quickly said: "It's easy for the chief, but for me, it's a lifelong marriage event. If one day I get married, I really want to invite the chief to be my witness. I just don't know, is there such a blessing?"

Gao Feng said in his heart, this kid is really fucking treacherous.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "Marriage is a great event, and I want to be happy too. If you get married in Beijing, and I have time, I will go back to support you. However, I have too many chores, so I can't guarantee that I will definitely be in Beijing by then." .”

"Thank you chief." Zhao Gang was overjoyed.

Lin Tao took out a business card, handed it to Gao Feng, and said to the three of them: "Although Diaoyutai is also a place to entertain people, there are strict rules there. If all the people who go there are young people, you three have to pay attention. trouble."

"Please rest assured, chief!" The three said in unison.

After chatting for a while, Lin Tao left. The three of them stood up and watched Lin Tao's back disappear, then called out and walked out of the hall quickly.

In the off-road vehicle, Zhao Gang said excitedly: "Brother Gao Feng, I really have to thank your eight generations of ancestors, you are really my lucky star!"

"Go away, that's not the time for me to be sarcastic." Gao Feng scolded.

"Brother, you don't care about villains, the prime minister can hold a boat on his stomach. Don't be as knowledgeable as brother, brother is just a big bastard."

Jing Peng sneered and said, "You're not rough, you have a lot of eyes! But this is the first step in the long march. If you want to take down the little girl from the Song family, you'll have to shed your skin if you don't die!"

Zhao Gang patted his chest and said: "We are revolutionary soldiers, so we must have the spirit of bearing hardships and standing hard work. If there are conditions, we must do it. If there are no conditions, we must create conditions!"

Gao Feng chuckled and said, "Think about this black bastard ravaging Miss Shuinenqianjin, what will happen?"

"Then you don't have to worry about it, brother. You can do it yourself." Zhao Gang also laughed.Talking, talking, the three of them talked about Lin Tao again.Zhao Gang said enviously: "Chief Lin is really awesome. Diaoyutai State Guesthouse gave the green light with just one phone call. If one day I can reach this level, I will be satisfied."

In the end, Jing Peng and Gao Feng scorned him for a while, and said to himself, you really dare to think, what kind of character is Chief Lin, even a major general of the same level is incomparable to Chief Lin!
