Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 311 Ending, the storm is uncertain

Zhao Jiadi was already able to get out of bed, and was limped for a walk in the secluded park while being supported by others. Wang Banjin was not too happy to let the head nurse hook up with Xiao Baliang. He would come from the government office whenever he was free during these days Served, and also sent a set of "Chinese Times 1900-2000" that the old lady helped to hand over to Zhao Jiadi. .”

Zhao Jiadi's current life is like a retreat. According to the habits formed in the life of supporting teachers in Guanyin Village, he read excerpts and took notes. Han Daode narrates the financial history of Goldman Sachs. Han Gouqi's physical foundation is poor, and his recovery speed is far inferior to that of Zhao Jiadi, but he is in good spirits, and he has been taken care of by the hospital. , it is estimated that if we go out to eat chicken again, the ladies will be more willing to serve you attentively.When Zhao Jiadi was in the hospital, in response to the saying that a friend in need is a friend, some people with good intentions to the Zhao family and Jin Hai came to visit. For example, Chen Jing from Yehu Zen Dacheng appeared several times. In the end, Liao Yin, who stood firmly in Zhao Taizu's camp, brought a group of brothers from the past to the hospital twice. Shen Xian and Wu Fu, a pair of scholars and apprentices, also entered the hospital with fruit baskets. The red children who had given Zhao Jiadi a black face and a cold ass all rushed over, with a bit of uncommon sincerity. Among them, Yang Feng, the uncle who had made Zhao Jiadi feel less affectionate in a private club on Chang'an Avenue, was even more straightforward. Zhao Jiadi said don't blame his uncle for being unreasonable that day, because at that time even he couldn't figure out Zhao Xin's plan, and he didn't dare to act recklessly, and he just wanted to find out if Zhao Xin's son was an embroidered pillow. He did it on purpose.The well-known celebrity with a knife in his sleeve in the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China went against common sense before leaving, half-joking and half-seriously saying that he had heard that Chen Jing had already started poaching Jin Hai’s most potential corner, as my uncle, Jin Hai Things are another matter, apart from the friendship with Zhao Xin, as long as you take the national exam next year, your uncle will definitely give you a big red envelope.Zhao Jiadi was not pretentious, and said with a smile that the bigger the better, and when he was young, he went to complain to Zhao Sanjin.

Zhao Jiadi was busy selecting some jokes about Goldman Sachs to tell Han Daode, when he suddenly saw something wrong with this guy's eyes, he turned his head and looked more surprised than when he saw Zhao Xin running out of Miyun Prison. , no matter what kind of sudden ups and downs, suffocating pressure, invisible burden, no matter what kind of cold eyes and coldness you feel, Zhao Jiadi, who can laugh at himself in front of outsiders even after being shot twice, fiercely His eyes turned red all of a sudden, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he made a slight promise, but he didn't yell out a sound, he didn't yell out that most ordinary word.After childhood, from adolescence to youth, it is not a long time, but it is short and never short. Zhao Jiadi seems to have forgotten how to act like a baby with the person in front of him. He always does not know how to start the occasional international phone calls. , I don’t know how to end, most of them end in silence, and finally develop a tacit understanding, hang up the phone after half a minute of silence, in the past, the few meetings during the Spring Festival were not very enthusiastic, so the sudden meeting at this place, Let Zhao Jiadi be at a loss, which is more at a loss than making him face the ups and downs of Jin Hai.The middle-aged woman with a cold face and sad eyes seemed not surprised by Zhao Jiadi's performance. She put down the fruit basket, sat by the bed, stared at the mature face with more and more sharp edges and corners, and stretched out her hand to help Zhao Jiadi. Wiping away the tears welling up in his eyes, he smiled slightly and said, "It's still that little Baliang who likes to cry."

Zhao Jiadi choked up and shouted: "Mom."

The woman hugged him lightly, without saying a word.

How many seemingly stubborn children do not hope to be recognized by their parents since childhood?
Han Daode was startled, he subconsciously straightened his back, but he didn't dare to intervene.For Han Dagouleg, Zhao Taizu is undoubtedly a sturdy existence that cannot be taller. The book "Grey Empire", which is said to be unable to break the sales record within ten years, is tirelessly describing this man's sinister darkness, Then, what is so great about the woman, Shang Hong, who has a whole chapter of "Grey" praising the Black Gold Empire on the moral platform with a strong sense of criticism?In the book "Gray", it is deeply stated that if this woman holds 45 to 49 points of equity and can maintain her huge influence, then Jin Hai will not end today, but the author frankly said that with Zhao Taizu's consistent Machismo will never give the titular original wife that much equity. It is estimated that it will be 10 to 12 points at most. The equivalent amount is scary enough, but it will not change the situation.Han Daode has turned "Grey" to pieces. For the only warm-colored shadow woman in the Gray Empire, except for some hearsay legends, I can only look for signs from the book. In the works, Shang Hong is a very personal style. Like Zhao Taizu, she is from a poor background and has no red elements, but what is commendable is that she did not have any nouveau riche behavior like Zhao Xin after she became rich. Her life is as simple and ordinary as ever, and no business trips She pays attention to ostentation, lives in a budget hotel, eats ordinary fast food, and does not have a piece of haute couture fashion. Too many commercial dynasties lost themselves in the false splendor and ended up being short-lived. The book "Grey" highly praised Shang Hong. Compared with Zhao Taizu's reckless style, this self-disciplined but happy A woman who gives others a relaxed environment as much as possible seems to be the best candidate for a modern manager. In fact, any veteran who was eliminated by Zhao Taizu did not have any complaints against Shang Hong, and even privately said that if it was not for Huang Fangfei's intervention, Jin Hai is very likely to grow into a family business that is so powerful and invincible that it can be called great.

Shang Hong peeled two yacon fruits and handed them to his son and Han Daode respectively, which flattered the old man. Han Daode's one-man show, Shang Hong also talked about many trivial things before the Zhao family's prosperity, all of which were calm and calm. Shang Hong has always valued this kind of man who does not complain about hardships, and he knew the inside story of the accident before he came. I have a good impression of this old man who is used by Zhao Xin as a pawn. After meeting, I added a few points, but the most important thing is that she only came to the hospital today as a mother, and she has no airs even more , this point is naturally completely different from Huang Fangfei who emphasizes exquisite taste everywhere.After chatting for more than half an hour, Shang Hong took two magazines and helped his son out for a walk, put them on the stone bench in the park, sat down, and asked softly: "I have already transferred all the equity to Dongcao, don't blame me ?”

Zhao Jiadi asked, "Why?"

Shang Hong gave an interesting answer: "Being kind to a daughter-in-law is treating her son well. This is what a qualified mother-in-law should do."

Zhao Jiadi couldn't laugh or cry, after careful consideration, he couldn't refute, after all, there was a trace of warmth in his heart, besides him, there were still people in this world who were willing to have no prejudice against Sister Dongcao.Some things that are lost and can never be found again need to be persisted and believed in for a lifetime.Zhao Jiadi has also heard about the grievances between Zhao Sanjin and his dead brother Qi Wufu. For so many years, even if Zhao Sanjin brought his child bride-in-law into the house, and even arranged for him to take his place in the board meeting room to observe the intrigues of high-end workplaces, but even Zhao Shinan, the "insider" of the Zhao family who is not familiar with human affairs, can see that there is a huge gap between the two people who are a generation apart. In front of Zhao Sanjin, Qi Dongcao will never act like a little girl like Wang Banjin, laughing and making trouble , her label has always been precocious, calm, and restrained.

Zhao Jiadi murmured: "As an evaluation report said, the sea of ​​gold is divided into two, one white and one black, and it is no longer a gray that makes people jealous and envious. But it really takes this step to get rid of the immortality. Is it a dead end? What about Zhao Sanjin?"

Shang Hong said softly: "Baliang, do you really think your father cares about this little money? At the beginning, Zhao Sanjin didn't have the intention of cunning and running dogs, and even discussed with me in private to give these heroes a lot of equity, but Jin Hai After growing up, those old guys with cocky tails were impatient, noisy, very restless, and some of them even made disgraceful and violent actions. Zhao Sanjin was actually willing to treat someone well, and he had a better account than anyone else in his heart. They are all clear, but the premise is that they can stand the test. The driver Xu Zhenhonghe is a good example. He will treat anyone who is willing to sweat. But whoever dares to fight for it, your father will lose his temper. In anger, I simply let these people not get any money. Good people? Of course Zhao Xin is not, but bad people, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. But there is one thing I can be sure of, Zhao Xin is not a greedy money The man in your life, he ran away from home back then, just to win his breath and prove to your grandfather that he can live a good life without studying, studying well, and mixing in society. After he proves this, he doesn’t want you to go here too. The so-called self-sufficiency that some elites talk about is just a joke to Zhao Xin. How can he prove it when he reaches his height? No need, I will leave the management of Jinhai Since then, Zhao Xin has been managing the company as a sideline business, and he is very comfortable as a shopkeeper. If something goes wrong, he will come out and beat him. Whoever has made a contribution will be commended. In fact, he is in a very good state. Jinhai is divided or not , the worst thing for him is to distribute some of the uncountable money. He knows what Dongcao wants, and he will not stop it, but if he wants to take it away, Dongcao has to prove that she has the ability. Facts have proved that Dongcao can do it. Well done, but I didn't get full marks, because no matter what kind of mentality Dongcao has towards the Zhao family, she always has no doubts about you. I can’t make up my mind to do this, you know, Baliang, what makes you most happy and satisfied is not what you did in Yanjing these days, but that you have never hurt Dongcao. A man who is not kind, no matter how good he is, Not a nice man either."

Looking at the distant scenery, Zhao Jiadi was in a daze.

Shang Hong said softly: "I met Yuan Shu in Shanghai, she is a very nice girl."

Zhao Jiadi was a little embarrassed. In terms of the relationship between men and women, it was the point that made him most afraid to face the old lady of the Wang family.If you really go into politics in the future, even if a certain degree of family background can dilute this negative impact, it is not something that can be brought to the table after all.

Zhao Jiadi said lightly: "Mom, why don't you meet Zhao Sanjin?"

Shang Hong nodded and said, "Yes."

------

Miyun Prison.

Two middle-aged men and women whose emotional history is enough to write a biography sit face to face.They are still husband and wife in the legal sense, but one is in full swing in the country, while the other has settled in Canada for many years and has nothing to do with the world.

The man said calmly: "I heard that you have transferred all the shares to your appointed daughter-in-law. It's not surprising, but it's a little faster than I imagined. Those gangsters and thieves are probably having a celebration banquet. Losing to you , I have no complaints."

The woman sneered and said, "Or else? Waiting for Huang Fangfei's relatives to dominate the family and take away all the eight liang shares?"

The man hehe said: "Hong, others don't know, you don't know that I didn't plan to let her take over from the beginning? Otherwise, she's just messing around with trivial things these years, and pigeons are not the kind of material. She is more important than you." If she likes to show off, let her show up from time to time, she has a few catties, I just need to know." Stretching his waist, Comrade Zhao Sanjin, who is well-known in Miyun, said lazily: "I admire our daughter-in-law very much. Even I really want to know the military adviser who has advised her behind her back these years. I believe it will not be inferior to Chen Pingan. The old Qi family is really a centipede, and there are a lot of talents. I guess if it is not for me. To avoid the death of the gold medal, the dead soldiers of the Qi family will not only kill a mistress who wrote a report letter, but even I will not let it go, I am an old bone, but it is not easy to deal with it."

Shang Hong glared at each other.

Zhao Sanjin raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, don't speak ill of Dongcao. In the end, I am the same as you, and I have no complaints about this child. It's just a pity. It may be difficult to see her continue to talk to that dead girl like Banjin." It’s a scene of rivalry and jealousy. This is one of the few pleasures I’ve had since you went abroad. Well, listening to Jiadi use professional terms to stab those pseudo-elites who cheated me of money in the house is one. Watching him play short-term in the stock market is also one. This little bastard, he is still not happy with my money to help him, so he pissed me off. Over the years, I have seen a lot of little bastards who have learned a little bit abroad and returned to China, crying and begging for money to start a business. , I feel more and more that my son is promising. Let me tell you a secret, let alone me, do you have any impression of Cai Yanzhi, that is, the Zhuyeqing in the capital city was taken down by our son, and when this incident happened, she As soon as he got ruthless, he played a few big things, uprooted several cash cows of the Chen family, and made the Secretary Chen who was about to be promoted furious, almost using political resources."

Shang Hong's face was still ugly.

Zhao Sanjin smiled sinisterly, squinted his eyes and said: "Don't stare at me, I know what you are resentful about. But that little white-faced Cao Cao from the Chen family is very smart, so he just hid in the Yanjing Military Region and didn't come out. I'm not a fairy, no Dare to challenge the barrel of a gun openly, but don't worry, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. Now it's not only me staring at him, Cai Yanzhi, but also that Tiger Sun who is infatuated with Wang Zhuyun. Once the mood falls into the hands of these two people, there will be no good results. Anyway, I am now a guy who eats prison food. I am not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. It's much easier to cheat money out of smart people's pockets."

Shang Hong finally had a good complexion, and sighed: "Back then, you used tricks to separate Ba Liang from that girl named Xie Si, wouldn't you be afraid that he would hate you for the rest of your life?"

Zhao Xin laughed loudly and said: "It's okay to hate me, maybe this guy can easily take over Jin Hai, and then he can make a fuss. To be honest with you, it's not that I never thought about letting Jiadi know about this. Stupid, but his performance in the past two years has exceeded my expectations, so there is no need to add superfluous things. Now the two of you can at least sit together and have a few words, spanking, smoking, and not messing around with me. By the way, Hong, did Dongcao tell you about her next steps? After all, the split Jin Hai is my youngest son. I still hope that it can become an ambitious company like those idealists imagined. Don't stare at me, Dongcao is a smart girl, she must not be afraid of you leaking the secret to me, tell me, it's too boring to stay here."

Shang Hong smiled wryly and said: "First of all, Jinhai will change its name to Jinchao, and she holds 51% of the shares. She obviously has a complete plan to deal with the ups and downs after Jinhai's change. "CIC" initially teamed up to set up a joint venture company to jointly invest in domestic real estate. Whether this move is a commercial investment or a political investment, or the proportion of the two, you, the contemporary patriarch of the officialdom line, must be clear. Anyway, put I am very relieved to hand over the old Jinhai to Dongcao. With you standing there as a clear negative example, I believe that even if Qi Dongcao has some iron-blooded wrists, it will not be offensive."

Zhao Sanjin rolled his eyes.

Shang Hong hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "What do you say?"

Zhao Sanjin, who had already developed a good understanding with her, said: "That's it, a series of innocuous charges, about 12 years in prison, this is the result of weighing various pros and cons. Ping An persuaded me to do some good deeds, otherwise it would take me 15 years. However, Chen Jing hinted to me that if it works properly, I don’t need to go to Qincheng for five or six years. A copy of "The Collapse of the Gray Empire" will never be reported by any media. This is due to Yang Feng and his gang of red children with great energy. I sincerely recognize you as a sister-in-law. You have scolded me a lot these years. You glared at me again and didn’t try to drag you down. Anyway, if I pave the way for my son, he will go in the opposite direction. Chen Jing and Yang Feng, the black-bellied gangsters, take care of it, it's not like you don't understand the bad taste of these lunatics. Be careful that your son will be thrown into a remote mountainous area to drink northwest wind as soon as he enters the agency, are you willing?"

Shang Hong smiled slightly.

If it wasn't for this man's devotion to his son, even though his methods were a little different, otherwise, with her strong personality, she would never see this side.

------

After Zhao Jiadi was discharged from the hospital, he moved into the quadrangle courtyard purchased by his grandma. It was already late March.Cai Yanzhi has always lived in the side room here, and with the addition of Mr. Huang Fengtu, the courtyard is not too deserted.In addition to watching the changes in Jinhai with a cold eye, Zhao Jiadi began to buy a large amount of civil servant examination materials, the national civil servant examination comprehensive textbooks from the Civil Service Textbook Center, application model essays, current political reviews, and of course magazines such as "Ban Yue Tan", and even made enough After making sure to prepare, he ran to the 91UP Civil Service Exam Competition Platform to do a massive amount of tests. On the desk were piles of review papers on real questions over the years. Zhao Jiadi fell into a semi-crazy state again. He forgot to sleep and eat. Two new blackboards were added. Twice in the courtyard, chatting with the old man had a lot of fun, Zhao Jiadi was able to know everything, and he also invited Chen Jing, a man from the famous Phoenix, to come to the courtyard as a guest, and he and his mother, Shang Hong, had dinner with high-ranking children like Yang Feng .Obviously, Zhao Jiadi is not limited to sprinting for the civil service exam, but intends to pave the way for the long-term. Zhao Jiadi's life is much more peaceful, but it is not without fun in the courtyard, that is, he likes to see Aunt Cai face him The little embarrassment revealed involuntarily when she was a mother is generally harmonious, but after all, the time to get along is limited, and it is difficult for Queen Cai Yanzhi to adapt to the difficult new position, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding being alone with Zhao Jiadi.

There is a municipal civil servant examination in Shanghai in mid-April. Zhao Jiadi will take it, but his ambition is not here. The ultimate goal is to take the national examination at the end of the year. Since Chen Jing and Yang Feng, two uncles in power, are waiting to see, Zhao Jiadi has no reason not to take the exam. Give a pretty good answer sheet.

Capital Airport, on April 4th, Shang Hong returned to Canada, and she will return to China soon after unraveling some knots. This trip is just to complete some procedures.It can also be vaguely seen that the lame Zhao Jiadi rushed to Sichuan. Before that, he, his mother and Wang Banjin had already gone to the grandfather's grave to toast in advance.The ones who got off the plane with Zhao Jiadi at Shuangliu Airport in Rongcheng were Guo Qingniu, the bodyguard on the bright side, Wei Feng in the dark, and Yang Pingping, who had skipped class at Peking University. They go to the grave in Qingming, so don't rush to this form. At first, sister Pingping still had the strength to say how bad the food at Shuangliu Airport was, but the closer to the township and Guanyin Village, the more silent she became.Grasshopper and Wei Feng were very friendly and kept their distance as much as possible along the way.Zhao Jiadi and Yang Pingping walked into the Hope Primary School in the village. The students were still in class, and Zhao Jiadi sat on the playground in a daze. He and the students agreed in the letter that they would go to Guanyin Village this Qingming Festival.

Yang Pingping looked at his side face, and accompanied him in a daze.

In the afterglow, the school bell rang. Zhao Jiadi got up and was about to go to the classroom to find someone. His sharp eyes saw the first familiar child rushing out of the corridor on the second floor to play with hoops, and he called out "Second Baby!"

The child froze for a moment, looked down, his eyes immediately turned red, shouted at Mr. Zhao, and then frantically went to each classroom to call out the fellow villagers of Guanyin Village.

A dozen or so children stood in a row in front of Zhao Jiadi. Zhang Wumei, who used to be the most beautiful girl in Guanyin Village and is now the most attractive girl in the entire township primary school, was also there, her eyes moist as well.

Many students were lying on the railing to watch this scene.They all know that the most beautiful girl in the school is from Guanyin Village, the one who reads the best is also from Guanyin Village, and the one who fights the hardest is also from Guanyin Village, and the guys in this village are the most cuddly. Anyone who is bullied will stand up , even Zhang Wumei, who is the most beautiful, has to show up. She is really fierce when she puts her hips on her hips and scolds people.At the beginning, someone made a joke about the death of the teacher in Guanyin Village, but in the end, Yoko, who was in the fourth grade, beat him up from the classroom to the dormitory and then from the dormitory to the playground. At first, the school had to give a demerit, but Later, it seemed that there was no such thing.After that, no one dared to make trouble with the Guanyin Village group, and no one dared to call Zhang Wumei, you will be my wife.

Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "I'll go to Guanyin Village first. Tomorrow is Qingming Festival. I'll hire a minibus to pick you up."

That night, Zhao Jiadi still slept on the second floor of the old auditorium used as a classroom. In fact, he did not sleep. Yang Pingping was unwilling to live in another place and occupied the bed. After a night of electric lights and several administrative professional ability tests, Yang Pingping fell asleep at dawn.Zhao Jiadi didn't wake her up, and ran to the top of the mountain alone in the morning, and sat there, playing a tune with leaves.In the afternoon, I had lunch with Sister Pingping. The two walked around Guanyin Village. It was Zhao Jiadi who was chatting with the villagers, busy handing and receiving cigarettes. Sister Pingping was not crazy at all, she was quiet and quiet. Not a word.Then the two returned to Hope Primary School and took the children back to Guanyin Village. When they saw the car parked at the entrance of the village, Zhao Jiadi knew that Hu Li's parents had also come.

Go to the grave.

The children cried together.

Yang Pingping, who did not wear makeup for the first time, is no exception.

Hu Li's parents were also there, but they didn't say anything.

After sending the children back to school, Zhao Jiadi and Hu Li's father drank together on the second floor of the auditorium. This time, the middle-aged man stopped Zhao Jiadi from letting him drink more.

The couple rushed back to Rongcheng overnight, leaving Zhao Jiadi and Yang Pingping on the second floor. The former was still sitting at the desk doing questions, while the latter stared at his back in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Jiadi turned his head and said softly, "Go to bed early."

Yang Pingping, who was not sleepy at all, shook her head.

Yang Pingping lowered her head and said, "Before the fox came here to teach, tell me that I will take care of you in the future, don't let other vixens fool you away, not even anyone who is prettier than her."

Zhao Jiadi put down his pen, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't tell me that Sister Pingping also secretly loves me."

Yang Pingping raised her head and said, "Can't you?"

Zhao Jiadi did not answer.

Yang Pingping suddenly smiled and said, "You have a good idea!"

Zhao Jia's face was helpless at first, but his eyes were clear and he said: "I know."

Yang Pingping, who was hiding under the blanket, sighed for no reason: "Actually, you are quite tired."

Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, it's true."

Yang Pingping took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision.

Zhao Jiadi stood up, pushed open the half-closed window, looked at the bright starry sky, and said to himself: "It's amazing."
