Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 298 Acacia and Chess
magic capital.Jiang Tanle plays chess with his grandfather Jiang Shigen, who enjoys the treatment of deputy ministers. The old man's Go level is very bad. No matter how Jiang Tanle is abused by amateur masters in Yicheng and Chess Dojo, he is not an old man with a strong sense of victory and defeat. For those who are willing to humiliate themselves, there are two volumes of "The Collapse of the Gray Empire" on the side of the chessboard, which have basically been circulated by family members, and in the process of greeting each other, most of them will mention this best-selling book with profound meaning, Jiang Tan Le will always show mild irritability, find an excuse and choose to leave the venue, resolutely not to participate in the topic discussion, Jiang Tanle played a game absent-mindedly, did not plan to play, and was in a daze, with his granddaughter covering, Jiang Shigen can rest assured Smoking secretly, the old man's life is only teaching and educating people except for studying for more than 20 years. The only joy is fighting wits and fighting bravely with his wife who is really old with him. Wife hides cigarettes and smokes. A woman who grows old with herself?This generation says that it is not long, but it is not short. How can we not find some harmless little fun.

Seeing that his granddaughter was not in high spirits, Jiang Shigen said with a gentle smile, "Worried about your student? It's okay, he called me and said he would ask for a leave of absence for at most two weeks."

Jiang Tanle became angry from embarrassment: "Who is worried about him?!"

The old man snorted, "Anyway, I, the principal, am worried. You are no longer his English teacher. It's normal not to worry."

Jiang Tanle resentfully said: "If you push the method again, I will tell grandma that you are smoking!"

The old headmaster immediately surrendered, and changed the subject with a haha: "Tan Le, which piece of chess do you think Zhao Jiadi looks like?"

Jiang Tan laughed angrily and said, "I don't like to guess."

The old man picked up a "car" for self-amusement, shook his head and said to himself that it didn't look like it, put it down, and picked up a "horse", saying it didn't look like it, and put it down again. This time, Jiang Tanle was finally aroused by curiosity, pointing to the elephant, the old man didn't nod, she pointed to the pointer again, the old man nodded but shook his head again, Jiang Tanle impatiently asked what it looked like!The old man joked that if you point to each of them, there will always be a correct answer.Jiang Tanle went into a rage, and shouted at the top of his voice, grandma, grandpa is smoking!

Jiang Shigen, who is very dignified in the school and the education system of the magic city, was in a hurry, and quickly wiped out the evidence, muttering a sentence, but the voice was very soft.

Hangtown.The Peach Blossom Bookstore in the alley has already opened for business, but the business is relatively deserted. Today, another customer asked if there was a book set of "Grey Empire" for sale. It was not the first time Tong Dong smiled and shook her head. She would The selection of books in the book bar is strictly controlled, and some best-selling books are often rejected. The Taohua Book Bar, which follows the petty bourgeoisie and youth route, has already prepared to introduce a certain number of sets of "Grey" because Tong Dong approved the content of this set of books. , but when the second proprietress Tong Xia accidentally saw the "duplicate name" of Zhao Jiadi, she began to protest. She didn't care whether Zhao Jiadi was the man in the book. She hated it so much that she almost used a strike to fight, which made Tong Dong have no choice but to compromise, but whenever a customer asked if this book was for sale, she would look down on Xixi, and the latter would make a grimace.

Today Tong Xia has been hiding on the second floor and writing in a book of "Nalan Ci". This is her beloved baby, and Tong Dong is usually not allowed to touch it. Tong Dong took a free time to sneak behind her sister, and only then did she know What is she talking about? She only writes one sentence per page. The text is slightly different, but the format is the same. , Waiting for Zhao Jiadi", "The shepherd boy is pointing at Xinghua Village, reading Zhao Jiadi", etc. Tong Dong could only be speechless, he didn't even bother to criticize and educate, and walked away quietly.

Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, facing Wuxi and Suzhou across Taihu Lake, there are only a few guests on a quaint cruise ship, a dozen men, women, old and young, two women standing on the bow, is the rouge tiger Pei Cuihu, and the ponytail she brought to Huzhou as a guest Yuan Shu.The members on the boat are all from the Pei family, Huzhou King Pei Xiyan was naturally present, and under the help of his daughter, he had a good eye for the young ponytail who spoke well. If he hadn't been reminded by Pei Cuihu earlier that this girl who studied in Fudan was already the prince of Jinhai As for the candidates appointed by the Lord, Pei Xiyan wanted to poach his own company. For talents, especially practical talents whose EQ is above the qualified line, King Huzhou has always spared no effort to build a golden platform.

Pei Cuihu smiled and said, "It's a pity that there is no snow this year, otherwise the scenery is the best at this time."

Ponytail smiled.

Pei Cuihu looked into the distance lightly, and said: "But watching alone, or without someone watching, even if there is snow, it will be very boring, right?"

Ponytail blushed.

Pei Cuihu sighed and said: "You, you have the same fate as your sister, no wonder you get along well. In my life, I don't have any friends of the same sex except for the few pathetic and daring suitors of the opposite sex, so I hope that no matter what happens in the future, what camp you and I are in, Out of the mall, they are all sisters."

Ponytail hummed.

Pei Cuihu lay on the railing, turned to look at the girl who loved and cherished her with a smile, and asked, "Miss him?"

Looking at the lake view, Yuan Shu nodded and said, "I really want to."

What shocked Zhao Jiadi the most in that luxurious villa in the magical city of Sheshan was not the magnificent decoration, not the rooms upstairs and downstairs that cannot be counted by two hands, not the three walls of books, but the memory of the fallen hero Yang Qingdi. A letter in the nature of a suicide note, and the dense network of contacts on the blackboard, Zhao Jiadi did not deliberately record this list of martial arts secrets at the time, but he has always been very confident in his memory, especially when he was blackboarded in the Sheshan villa. Dozens of evergreen figures from all walks of life who are still famous up to now are like a thunderbolt, so if you start writing with spirit in the early stage, it will start to dry up in the middle and late stages. It is far less full and complete than the blackboard of the Sheshan Villa. This is the premise of omitting Yang Qingdi's comments on the members of the network. Zhao Jiadi looked up at the blackboard with the names of Chen Hongxiong and other direct members of the Chen family, a bit regretful. He would never go to Shanghai to ask Aunt Cai Yanzhi to make this request, and silently told himself to be content, Zhao Jiadi then went to write the list given by Huang Fangfei and the names he extracted from "Grey" on another blackboard In general, the people who have dealt with this time will be supplemented with rough comments, which is also learned from Emperor Yang Qing.Standing behind him is Han Daode with an unbelievable expression. This uncle insisted on taking notes when he was poor, but it was of little use. No, stop after entering Jinhai, because Han Daode knows that even if he writes notes for a lifetime, if he fails to seize the fleeting opportunity, it will be a pile of waste paper, just like those who drop out of university and finally get into the position by chance , You can use the youthful frivolity of the year as a talking point, but more people who lost their school days ran errands and worked hard for others in the society, and they couldn't sell a few copper coins. The young people who were very similar back then must be able to pull a hand, but they can't backfire.Han Daode stood behind the completely selfless Zhao Jiadi, looking at this unimportant figure, the emotional thickness in his heart increased day by day, from the initial gratitude to admiration, and he was deeply involved in the waves with the young master, witnessing his step by step Careful step-by-step, settling down slowly, fighting wits and bravery with three or four people in different fields, either thick or wise, just changing the facial makeup is not easy, Han Daode has a little more awe, the proud son of heaven in this world The sea is gone, but not everyone can not retreat and advance in setbacks and tribulations. Too many people choose to huddle in a safe corner, trembling and panicking. My uncle's motto is that life is a chess game and I am a pawn. Although my actions are slow and my life is full of hardships, who has ever seen me take half a step back?

Zhao Jiadi drew a circle on the name "Chen Jing" on the blackboard, and said softly, "Old Han, I don't know why, Huang Fangfei left this person out, it seems that he deliberately wanted me to touch my nose. I'm going to meet him. It seems that this person is still my senior. He is a member of the National Development and Reform Commission. He is a phoenix man of the Tianzi brand. The old principal said that this guy borrowed 512 books from the library in the university. He would sneer at a dude like me who can't be supported by the rich second generation, no wonder Huang Fangfei is willing to leave him to me to contact, she is really understanding and well-intentioned."

Han Daode has no right to speak about the intellectual wrestling of the high-level executives, and dare not make rash comments. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with saying less and doing more.It can be seen that in less than a week, the eldest and young master has lost a lot of weight. He stayed up all night, rushed to the market, and read Jinhai Gaomi's materials. Fortunately, his eyes were not cloudy, but became colder and clearer.Zhao Jiadi didn't care what Han Daode was thinking, so he sat down at his desk and went to the official website of the National Development and Reform Commission to find any fragments of information about Chen Jing. The old headmaster Jiang Shigenhui, the favorite student, said with a smile at the opening ceremony that in more than ten years, Chen Jing may be his leader when he returns to Shanghai.During the day, Chen Jing received Zhao Jiadi's invitation call, it didn't seem strange, and he didn't put on a show. He immediately agreed to have dinner together, frankly admitting that there was no time for dinner, and there was a lot of time for supper, so the place was set at the approachable Guijie Street.At 10 o'clock in the evening, Chen Jing, who came from a poor background but finally cultivated Yehu Zen by himself, arrived as scheduled. He was a few minutes late. After taking his seat, Chen Jing explained that the parking was a bit far away. Here, she became angry at the crown and laughed at herself. Aunt May's Santana is still in the repair shop.

The two ordered five dishes. It may be that under the influence of his unique fast-paced official life, Chen Jing's chopsticks flew like flying, and Zhao Jiadi didn't need to choose his words. The first thing I wanted to ask was answered again. The scene at the beginning of the year affected all aspects of the ups and downs. Only at this moment did I really reveal the secret to Zhao Jiadi. The emergency approval documents for Zhao Xin's imprisonment were reported layer by layer. The location, in Chen Jing's words, is one level higher than his father-in-law. There are two joint teams specially set up at No. 41, Ping'anli West Street, and they are seconded to a brother department that even high-ranking officials regard as a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. A large number of elite backbones were recruited, and the boss who presided over the group work made it clear that no "relationship households" would be allowed to intervene. This is also the root cause why some of Zhao Taizu's best friends have nowhere to help. It may only be a counterproductive effect. Chen Jing did not say exactly who took so much trouble to send Zhao Taizu to the police, but he mentioned that the mistress of the key figure Han Hongjun had died suddenly in a secret apartment under heavy surveillance, and the finger was naturally pointed at The most suspected Zhao Taizu, Chen Jing said with a smile, of course someone with a heart poured dirty water on Zhao Taizu. As for Han Hongjun, who has been rampant for many years, he was lucky, but he was directly taken away by Shuanggui at a meeting of the Ministry of Commerce a year ago. , at least his life is safe, otherwise Zhao Taizu would have jumped into the Yellow River and he would not be able to wash away.As for how to lay out the layout and how to break the situation, Chen Jing did not make any suggestions on his own, but just reminded Zhao Jia that it is more useful to plan first and then act than hasty talk on paper. Without excessive mood swings, and Zhao Jiadi will not be superficially grateful, deliberately pretending to listen attentively, and just treat him as a senior to educate his juniors. With this kind of relationship escort, it is more effective than anything else.

After Chen Jing finished his meal, he smiled and said that if he wanted to smoke, he would smoke as soon as he was not married and had children. I was a bad example. Having children is not good, so I quit smoking obediently. I thought I would be liberated after giving birth, but my wife said that it is not a crime to let the children smoke second-hand smoke. After such a tragedy, I really quit smoking.Zhao Jiadi was not polite, he smoked a cigarette, Chen Jing looked at his posture, and joked that he was a bit of a smoker?Zhao Jiadi blushed and said it was okay, since he was a sophomore in high school, within two years, if Uncle Chen had told me earlier, he would have started cherishing time a few years earlier.Chen Jing chuckled, saying that you are still too early to get married, and besides, you may not necessarily meet a tigress, but it is still necessary to quit smoking before and after marriage. I am thinking that one day my children will all smoke, and I will return to my old career. I hope that by then Don't get used to it, I think, the first time every child smokes, it's best to be the one handed out by the father, so as to facilitate the conversation between men.Zhao Jiadi couldn't help feeling that this uncle was really enlightened.

Chen Jing changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Why did you come to see Uncle Chen so late, it can be seen that the status in Ba Liang's heart is not high."

Zhao Jiadi smiled wryly: "The math teacher doesn't always say to do the papers, and the difficult problems should be put at the end."

Chen Jing stared and said, "Don't do this with me, you act like Uncle Chen, don't you know that you do science test papers backwards?"

Zhao Jiadi was stunned.

Chen Jing said narrowly: "Not only do I know this, but I have also seen the social responsibility model you made for ICBC. It is very good. You have the demeanor of your uncle who gave advice to the country. If you had graduated from university and came to the Development and Reform Commission, the back door would not have been opened. But as long as you pass the exam, uncle can still make some guarantees."

Zhao Jiadi joked: "Open the back door. I will report to the Development and Reform Commission for the civil servant test in the future, otherwise I won't do it."

Unexpectedly, Chen Jing said simply: "That's the deal! I am Jiang Taigong fishing for you. If you want to take the bait, the elders will spit at each other. If you don't come to me to report in the future, I have nothing to do with you, but you can play tricks on Zhao Sanjin." go."

Now Zhao Jiadi was dumbfounded, "Uncle Chen, is it true?"

Chen Jing smiled slyly: "Otherwise, what do you think I am planning for this meal?"

The corners of Zhao Jiadi's mouth twitched, this unscrupulous uncle, there is not a decent guy who hooked up with Zhao Sanjin, and he can't beat honesty and honesty.

The two left the restaurant together, ten minutes away from Chen Jing's car. They talked about the school and the old principal. , I will have this meal with you today as Zhao Xin's friend and your 'cheap' uncle, but I will definitely speak in an official style, and I will not tell you those things that are illegal if you go online. To be honest, I believe you these days Running all over the city in Yanjing City, I have already realized that Zhao Xin is Zhao Xin, you are you, because you are the son of Zhao Taizu who look up to please you, most of them are some characters who have not entered the circle, but at least with Uncle Chen, You handed in a good answer, I am very optimistic about you, because you are the second guy who can impress the old headmaster and have high expectations in so many years besides me. You can just listen to the one that sounds good. I hope that the second good thing like the ICBC model won’t make me wait too long. Well, that’s all for today, see you later.”

Chen Jing got into the car with a full-time driver, and left without incident. In his world, there were too many honors that he had to strive for and strive for.

Yanjing, such a huge vanity fair and arena, who is not fighting desperately?Either rise up and step on the bones, or be the bottom, and become a stepping stone for others. In the torrent, everyone is playing Chinese chess. Chess is always a minority, and there are more horses that restrain each other. You must use the momentum to get things done. Cannons, most of them are pawns who are trapped by the flood and can only be cannon fodder.

Whether Zhao Jiadi is a soldier, a soldier or a general, more and more people have begun to wait and see.
