Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 332 The world is so small
There was an exaggerated graduation photo in Zhao Jiadi’s class. With the instigation of Ma Xiaotiao and the support of all the girls, every boy in the class had to wear a pair of high-heeled shoes, most of which were borrowed from the girls. Zhao Jiadi wanted to get away with rubbing oil on the soles of his feet, but was stopped by a group of girls laughing. As punishment, Zhao Jiadi finally stood in the center of the graduation photo, very conspicuous and very tragic.With a click, it freezes forever.Then Zhao Jiadi, a party member who scored amazing results in the national examination, was thrown into the air by a group of people. After losing a few times, Zhao Jiadi, who lost a high heel, had to bend down to look for it, and the slender girl who lent him a high heel laughed. If you can't find the Tao, forget it, I'll see you off, Zhao Jiadi is ashamed.Having dinner together in the evening, the girls booed, saying that the boys in the class were not kind, and they searched for girlfriends in other colleges, and they were fined for drinking. As a result, except for a few boys who stayed in their own farms, nearly twenty guys who "eating inside and out" all After being downed with a big glass of beer, Zhao Jiadi became the target of concentrated firepower. During his four years in college, Zhao Jiadi often appeared and disappeared actively and passively. He was actually not familiar with his classmates. Brother Mian and the few five or six people who come to the dormitory to watch action movies from time to time have had a lot of interaction, but after today everyone will go their separate ways, and they are a little relaxed. Among them, Zhao Jiadi didn't show up until his sophomore year or even his junior year. During his freshman year, he had been paying attention to Ma Xiaotiao, a playboy who drove a little red BMW in the same dormitory. Zhao Jiadi, who was silent, only knew that he liked to skip classes. But the grades in professional courses are very good, and I found a beautiful girlfriend from another school very early. Later, some women often saw Zhao Jiadi alone in the library or on the playground. Earth-shattering before graduation, 170 in the national examination, unprecedented, right?Maybe there will be no one to come.How embarrassing is this for the pride of those prestigious universities who hope to win the championship in one fell swoop?After drinking, the whole class went to karaoke nearby. Ma Xiaotiao paid the bill, which was completely opposite to Zhao Jiadi's college curve. The rich second generation Ma Xiaotiao after his junior year was simply a shining example of a prodigal son turning back. Many girls still remember it clearly This prodigal son lay on the ground and vomited at the 180-meter finish line of the school sports meeting. In the middle of a few holidays, some classmates went to Hangzhou to play, and Ma Xiaotiao took the initiative to host them. He didn't show off his wealth, but it made people feel warm Heart, not only the girls in the class have changed their attitude towards him [-] degrees, but there are also sharp-eyed and high-quality plmms in the college who began to favor Comrade Ma Xiaotiao. The k song ended with "Friends". Many MMs were sobbing emotionally. After Ma Xiaotiao sang the last line, he began to roll the roll, whoever, what province or city, and said: No matter who goes where, as long as there are classmates, don’t forget to say hello, no matter Whether you are doing well or not, I hope you can meet and have a meal, so that these four years of college classmates will not be wasted.Before leaving, Ma Xiaotiao was asked to be hugged by several female classmates. Two of them only found out after a long time that they had a good family background. One was the son of a cadre in the military region. Boy, once in his sophomore year, he scolded Ma Xiaotiao to his face for being promiscuous.One is the daughter of the deputy head of the district. One summer practice was in a public institution in her father's jurisdiction. But at that time, except perhaps the counselor who knew everything about it, no one made too many guesses.In this class, if Zhao Jiadi is added, this ratio is already very Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Li Feng dragged all three dormitories to his house, an old house of more than 90 square meters, Li Feng and Shen Han slept on the bed, Zhao Jiadi and Ma Xiaotiao slept on the floor. A certain district-level agency was a little short of the admission line. He said that his parents were not in good health, and he was worried about hanging out like headless chickens outside. I will help my parents in the city, and start my own business after saving some money. Li Feng is still an optimist, not in a hurry, and his mentality is so good. The three sent Shen Han to the train station. There was no suspense that the ticket was bought by Li Feng's parents. Shen Han gave the money. Li Feng replied, "Fuck off." After the two of them finished draining the water, Zhao Jiadi gave Shen Han a business card, which belonged to Huang Ruiyang, the financial director of New Empire Jinchao Industry. Just say you are my brother.Shen Han was stunned for a moment, Zhao Jiadi smiled and asked if he was a brother?Shen Han smashed Zhao Jia's first punch, took the business card, glanced at it, was dumbfounded, his eyes were complicated and sentimental, and asked if he entered Xinjinhai, would he be regarded as friends at most in the future, not brothers?If it is, I will not make this call.Zhao Jiadi punched him in the chest, cursing, let go of your p, hypocritical or not? !Shen Han smiled lightly and said that when I saw your name on "Grey Empire", I felt strange. Do you still remember seeing a photo of Concubine Chen and a man at the newsstand one year, and I looked like you at that time? , you tell me the truth, isn't it you kid?Zhao Jiadi grinned.Shen Han hugged Zhao Jiadi's neck fiercely, and said sadly, did you attack the goddess in my heart?Zhao Jiadi swears that there is absolutely no, and he has never held hands!Shen Han scolded with a smile, you think I'm a fool, believe you? !Zhao Jiadi rolled his eyes and said, do you have b?Is it big?The two left the bathroom arguing. Shen Han was carrying a simple and unadorned bag. This Northeast man who occasionally seemed out of tune with the other three in the dormitory often snored loudly and drank the cheapest liquor for four years. Four years of good cigarettes, four years of good tea, two years of being a low-browed junior in the student union for two years, two years of being a good gentleman's senior, but fighting once for Ma Xiaotiao and twice for Li Feng, I remember it once.Once, I was blocked on the basketball court by someone for revenge and was beaten for five or six minutes, but I never told the three roommates about this incident.The family is poor, and he studies hard, but unfortunately his grades have always been mediocre, and he keeps bickering. Li Feng admires Zhao Jiadi and envies Ma Xiaotiao. The most regrettable thing is that he has not paid the electricity and internet bills once in the four years of college. With the money, I can invite three guys to eat and drink, plus take a bath and call the high-end lady to fly together.When they parted, the four of them folded their palms together, and none of them said anything bold.

Next, Li Feng and Ma Xiaotiao made an appointment to go to Hangzhou for the summer vacation. Zhao Jiadi claimed that he did not choose the National Development and Reform Commission when he applied for the national examination. After the test results came out, the big boss Chen Jing, who had just advanced one place in the ranking, specifically called Zhao Jiadi and said that it would be too unreasonable not to invite you in, but Zhao Jiadi still put the first stop in the infrastructure comprehensive room of Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission For this reason, Chen Jing, who was very happy, called again, speaking harshly, with a posture of hating iron but not steel. The family was happy and the family was worried, while Li Tan was in a good mood. There are three reasons. Huang Lao’s family is the direct line of the old Wang’s family, and he can take care of everything; the private equity needs him to beat and adjust from time to time; the last is that Hangzhou is close to Shanghai, and he can go to the old principal to study every weekend. .The interview, the physical examination, and the investigation of Zhao Jiadi's files by the unit all went smoothly. When he arrived in Hangzhou, Zhao Jiadi lived in the World Trade Center Regent, bought a bicycle, and reported that he and Li Tan used to cook in a private house on Lingyin Road. After a meal in the restaurant, Fan Longquan and his elder brother Liu Xin were not called. There was only a middle-aged man named Yao, who was the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. I really can't tell that this unassuming, plain-spoken uncle is a cadre at the deputy department level. The uncle is not the direct leader of Zhao Jiadi. This is probably Li Tan's attitude. Instead, at the dinner table, the uncle seemed to be taken aback when he heard the introduction from the butler Li, but it didn't matter. Yingzi's grades are very worrying, you should be prepared to be recruited to make up lessons, by the way, Zhao Jiadi, how is Qi Shugen?Zhao Jiadi laughed and said that this guy heard that I was going to the Development and Reform Commission, so he wanted to join in the fun, but he was working in a triangular cooperation with senior officials.Li Tan turned his head and smiled at Deputy Director Yao and said, Lao Yao, I still want Jiadi to drink tea with me, do you have any ideas?Deputy Director Yao laughed and said that there is a tigress at home, and if you are still outside after 8 o'clock, the calls must be one after another, so I won't bother you to drink tea.Li Tan nodded and jokingly said Lao Yao, I don't have any money with me, you can pay for this meal for me, and return it to you later, if my sister-in-law inspects the wallet and asks you to explain the problem, I will call my sister-in-law to explain it myself.The uncle surnamed Yao laughed out loud, waving his hands and saying no, as long as he is with you, even if he goes to drink and socialize, all the officials and wives in Hangzhou will be at ease.

Li Tan smiled and left the restaurant first with Zhao Jiadi. Inside, the waiter asked the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission who had paid the cash if he wanted an invoice.After getting out of the restaurant and getting in the car, the director dialed a number to a leader in the general office of infrastructure who had a good relationship with him, and asked Old Kong mysteriously if he knew who I had dinner with.The other side of the phone smiled heartily and said that I would believe what you said to eat with high-ranking officials.Director Yao was overjoyed and asked Li Tan to eat, how about it?The other side was obviously surprised, and asked curiously that this is a rare thing. Li Tan usually doesn't invite people to dinner in private, so what can I do with you?Good or bad?Director Yao sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and said that it was a good thing for me, and even more so for you, so you are ready to owe me a big favor.The man over there wondered, "I'm going to mention it?"There's no reason, I just came up and it's against the rules.Director Yao said unhappily that this is not the case.The man surnamed Kong was a little psychologically frustrated, and said, "Don't play tricks on me, I'm still educating my daughter who has a puppy love."Director Yao gloated and said, look, I let you have a son like me a long time ago, and now I don't have such worries.Old Kong Qi laughed and said, I can decide to have a son and a daughter?You are not afraid of retribution for saying such sarcastic remarks!Be careful as soon as you get home, Xiao Yao will bring you a daughter-in-law with a big belly and call you Dad!Director Yao laughed and said okay, let’s talk about business and business. Li Tan invited me to dinner today mainly to let me meet a young man. He said that he is very familiar with the provincial party committee compound and can give Secretary Huang’s granddaughter extra lessons. Moreover, he is a close friend with Qi Yongsheng's son. This young man just happened to be admitted to your piece of one-acre three-point land. Old Kong, don't you often complain that the Qingshui Yamen in that place can't produce talents?This kid was delivered to the door. The news that the National Development and Reform Commission was circulating two days ago was talking about him, a young man with a score of 170 in the national examination.The old Kong on the other side of the phone left his daughter's study, sat in the living room, touched a cigarette, and said slowly, "Well, I know this. That young man is a fresh graduate, and he should have been stuck in two years of grassroots experience or a master's degree." On the threshold, I heard that the organization department personally made some accommodations. I was thinking that something was wrong, and I was afraid that a difficult kid would come. Baldy, tell me, how is that young man?Director Yao said with a smile that you are too worried. The young man has a good temper. With a big Bodhisattva like Li Tan escorting him, he has no arrogance. Perfect, hey, I never heard of Li Tan doing so much for someone before, I guess that young man has a lot of background, Old Kong, anyway, I have told you everything I know, you should weigh the weight yourself, you and Secretary-General Zhang are going well together Recently, I have never been very good with Li Tan, but I am not talking about you, you are a small department, you are still the kind whose butt is not sitting hot, messing around, maybe Secretary-General Zhang will not remember you, Li It's not good for Tan to remember you, Zhang Hongbin and Li Tan, who will be in the Standing Committee in the future, can't you tell?Old Kong resentfully said, can I not know this truth?But I'm not like you, I still have the opportunity to report to Li Tan every now and then, but I'm separated by several levels, and I can't get along with Mr. Li. Put a cold face on your butt, shall we?That's too low.Director Yao laughed and asked why Li Tan was looking for me this time, not someone else?Doesn't he know that you and I have been classmates for more than ten years?So, here's your chance.Old Kong was depressed for a while, hesitatingly said that the young man entered the infrastructure complex room, even if he didn’t have this relationship, I wouldn’t embarrass him, if he can be promoted, he will definitely be promoted. It's hard to do, Baldy Yao, you know about my family's crap, so I won't talk about it.Director Yao angrily raised his voice and scolded Lao Kong, Lao Kong, saying that you have no courage and you always say that you have bad luck.If it weren't for your ability, would you still be a division?Because of the classmate relationship of more than ten years, I will leave the words here today. The relationship between that young man and Li Tan is extraordinary. It is definitely not the kind that Li Tan values ​​​​with a little family background. That's right, Li Tan can turn a blind eye to your crap, maybe I can entrust you in the future, my deputy director wants to remove the deputy, it's difficult, you are different!Whether you like it or not, take care of one thing, and it will change when it comes to you!Lao Kong immediately laughed and said to my director Yao, old classmate, calm down first, I have suffered too many losses from being on the wrong team, I am afraid I am used to it, I am scared of the courage of the sky , why don't you come to my house, the brothers have some wine, and talk slowly, can you give my brother some advice?Now
Several secretaries and deputy directors headed by Li Tan were dazzled by the fight, but I was really confused.Director Yao smiled and asked if there is Moutai?Old Kong is happy, look at what you said, anyway, it's either Moutai or Wuliangye, it's up to you!
Sitting in the living room of Li Tan's house, Zhao Jiadi said with a smile: "Secretary Li, you have really put your face down to create momentum for me this time."

Li Tan glared and scolded with a smile: "Virtue!"

Zhao Jiadi took a cigarette in his own way, puffed out the clouds and said leisurely, "It's great that there are people in the court."

Li Tan reminded: "I'm just leading you in. Don't think of me as a tiger-skin banner for you in the future. If you want to find it, go to Huang Lao. His old man speaks better than me."

Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said, "This is too exciting to mobilize the crowd, it seems that there is no political awareness at all."

Li Tan said angrily: "You also know?"

Zhao Jiadi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not really stupid. I will go to you or Secretary Huang to complain about everything. I will go on my own in the future."

Li Tan smiled and said: "It's still okay to come to my place to eat and drink."

Zhao Jiadi joked: "Li Qing is going back to China, right? Are you not afraid that I will accidentally become your son-in-law?"

Li Tan said angrily: "Then just wait to be kicked out by me!"

Zhao Jiadi murmured, "What a powerful official."

Li Tan threw a pack of cigarettes on the table.

Zhao Jiadi took the cigarette nimbly, stood up and said, "Thank you, leader. If you don't have any cigarettes to honor your superiors, come here to search."

Li Tan shook his head helplessly, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have promised you to come to Hangzhou. I have a headache."

Before Zhao Jiadi left, he said with a smile: "Brother Li, in addition to making up lessons for Huang Ying during the summer vacation, I also have to go to Shanghai to continue my classes. When will Li Qing let me know, don't worry, it's just a simple relationship. I can't be your son-in-law."

Li Tan waved his hand and said: "Understood, I am too lazy to send you downstairs, be careful on your own way."

During this vacation, Zhao Jiadi, the magic capital of Hangzhou, ran at both ends of the city, serving as a student of the old principal and a teacher of Huang Ying. It was not easy to switch roles. A trip to the General Office of Infrastructure Construction gave unexpected affirmation of the work achievements of this department, especially for Kong Feng's name-calling. Lao Kong tried his best to keep calm on his face, but nine times out of ten he was already smiling. You must know that Secretary-General Li never praised others easily.In the provincial party committee compound, the overall situation has been determined. Secretary Huang, who will retire from the National People's Congress as the top leader in the next session, is still very busy. For many discerning people, it is not easy for Secretary Huang to go to the National People's Congress instead of the CPPCC. Yu Wei is still alive in the old back of Beijing, and he is not as waning as one might imagine.Huang Ying doesn't care about current affairs and politics even if it involves the real interests of her own family. Firstly, it is because of her young age, and secondly, it is because of her nature. up.The guy who made up his own lessons won the first place in the national exam? 170 points?It sounds okay, the top students in the school can get 280+ in physical comprehensive test. Qi Shugen, who often visits Huang's house, treats Huang Ying like an idiot. His own national test is not low, 137, compared to Zhao Jia Number one, it's a hundred and eight thousand miles away, so it's impossible not to be convinced, anyway, Qi Shugen has seen all kinds of tough and perverted things of this buddy, and he's used to it.Although Qi Shugen and Huang Ying are young people who have lived in the Provincial Party Committee compound for many years, there is no small circle here, and many people can't even call out their names. By the way, there is less than one place to play, which is different from the military compound.It is a special case that Qi Shugen can get close to Huang Ying and get along like a brother leading a sister. One is smart and the other is heartless.At the end of the summer vacation, Qi Shugen celebrated his 24th birthday. When he was in Shanghai, because of Zhao Jiadi’s relationship, Qi Shugen and Ma Xiaotiao knew each other well. Qi Shugen always regarded Ma Xiaotiao as a friend. Compared with Zhao Jiadi, Ma Xiaotiao is the closest to Qi Shugen in terms of character and aspirations. Naturally, Qi Shugen took the initiative to call Ma Xiaotiao up without Zhao Jiadi's reminder. There was a big gathering of more than [-] people, half of them were peers in the provincial party committee yard, and the rest were friends of friends, and their family backgrounds were roughly the same. Qi Shugen's temperament is good, and his popularity is definitely not bad, so those people are willing to turn down the event to praise the show, and most of the guests' family backgrounds are still quite different from Qi Shugen's.The birthday cake has not been cut, Huang Ying is very depressed, Qi Shugen said that he must wait for that guy?Qi Shugen comforted him and said that he called and said that he got off the highway and would come here immediately and wait a little longer.Huang Ying pouted, with a reluctance on her face, and ran to chat with her sisters.Qi Shugen received a call, ha, Ma Xiaotiao, others can be perfunctory, this buddy can't be sloppy, Ma Xiaotiao laughed and scolded on the phone that he celebrated his birthday in the provincial party committee compound, his "Little Red" was too cheap for Qi Shugen Only then did I realize that you and Zhao Jiadi are the same thing, cheating!Qi Shugen followed the phone call and walked to the gate of the Provincial Party Committee to meet him in person, and said with a smile that your little red is considered high-end, okay? I always go in and out by bicycle.At the door, there happened to be an SUV passing by. The driver was a very temperamental mm. Qi Shugen just glanced at it and didn't care. It's normal, the elders in the family don't seem to be in that position yet, but because they are alumni from high school, they once participated in the Olympic winter camp together, Qi Shugen won the ranking with her, and participated in the school commendation meeting together, this is a little friendship, mm chased him, But then he backed out, and came to Qi Shugen’s birthday today. He was not too affectionate or polite. Qi Shugen smiled and said hello, but his eyes were on Ma Xiaotiao and Xiaohong’s figure, thinking that this guy said he would give an inflatable doll as a gift , don’t play for real, but Qi Shugen is still a bit looking forward to it, it’s not necessary, it’s good as a souvenir, the thought of Qi Shugen makes me happy, then mm is a little sentimental, thinking that Qi Shugen only smiles when he sees him, so he Don't be disgusted with saying that the gift will be delivered later.Qi Shugen shook his head and said no. mm asked are you waiting for someone?Qi Shugen nodded.While the two alumni were chatting, the hostess of the SUV had been quietly looking at Qi Shugen. Of course, she knew that the president of the high school student union, Genzhengmiaohong, was easy to talk and was nice to everyone. Back then, there were definitely a large number of suitors behind him. The girlfriends around him pursued Qi Shugen. She also worked as a consultant. Pride and foresight, in high school, apart from not being in love, Qi Shugen didn't have any friends who were called brothers, so who needs to come to the gate of the provincial committee to wait in person today?If they are also acquaintances in the compound, there should be no need for this. Could it be a little higher?

It is impossible for the suv to stop at the gate for a long time and drive in slowly.

Through the rearview mirror, she saw Qi Shugen sitting in a low-end red BMW with a very sincere smile, and the license plate was all too familiar.

The best friend noticed her strange face and asked, "Zhang Xin, what's the matter, are you feeling unwell?"

She shook her head, bitter in her heart.

The world is so small.
