Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 371 That Day, This Year (The Finale)

Under the instruction of the old principal, Zhao Jiadi began to participate in the first quarterly competition of the Foresight Cup. There are a total of nine economic indicators covering a wide range. Wandering around the middle reaches turned out to be the most important argument for the short-term prediction of the Vision Cup. In fact, Jiang Shigen himself did not criticize this event. In the eyes of the old man, most of the things were just a whim. There are always advantages and disadvantages, the key is to look at the advantages and disadvantages. The old man has always supported this, otherwise he would not have participated in it in person. There was a new wave of public opinion, so when the old principal officially recommended Zhao Jiadi to participate, the organizers were relieved. There will always be some genius, and genius is often associated with youth.The rankings for the first quarter were released. Zhao Jiadi was not high, unremarkable, and only at the middle level. The old principal was not in a hurry. He knew the potential of this closed disciple better than anyone else. Number games have always been Zhao Jiadi's strong point. This proud student is just a fledgling student, and his performance in the first match can only be regarded as mediocre, mainly because he was dragged down by two indicators such as the growth of fixed asset investment, and suffered a loss of experience.Zhao Jiadi thought behind closed doors at the old principal's house in Shanghai, and after summing up his experience, he was ready to go back to the Hangzhou Provincial Development and Reform Commission to go to work honestly. But before returning to Hangzhou, he received an invitation from Xu Zhenhong. There was also a pair of women who had a close personal relationship with him at the banquet. The rouge tiger Pei Cuihu and the ponytailed Yuan Shu, the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, Zhao Jiadi would remember Xu Zhenhong's courage to let the newcomer Yuan Shu take over the investment project, and of course he would remember this kindness. I chatted with many people, and Xu Zhenhong was one of them. The topic was sensitive, and it involved Zhao Jiadi's biggest knot in the past ten years.After the sumptuous dinner, Pei Cuihu took Yuan Shu to the balcony for a heart-to-heart chat. Zhao Jiadi and Xu Zhenhong sat down face to face. This man, who came to Shanghai as a cross-river dragon, turned out to be more domineering than those invincible local snakes in the end.But at this moment, his expression was a little nervous.Pei Cuihu watched from a distance, worried.As Xu Zhenhong's right-hand man and confidante at the same time, she knew clearly that Zhao Taizu would always be a mountain in Xu's heart, so big that a man as conceited as Xu never thought of trying to climb it.In the past when Zhao Taizu was in power, Xu Zhenhong's position was very clear, as long as the eight winds did not move, so even if it was a storm in the Jinhai, Xu Zhenhong still did not get involved or swayed, but now that Zhao Taizu made it clear that he was going to abdicate, the relationship with his successor became more special. Importantly, Xu Zhenhong's problem now is that he is too successful, and this kind of success is not reliable. Zhao Taizu said that he can take it away easily. Xu Zhenhong doesn't want to be the one in history who made wedding clothes for Emperor Jiaqing. gentry.Pei Cuihu tried to sound out Yuan Shu, who was half best friend and half younger sister, on his own initiative, but the ponytail around him didn't make any statement, and public and private were clearly distinguished.

Zhao Jiadi asked, "Smoking?"

Xu Zhenhong shook his head and said, "No."

Zhao Jiadi thought for a while and said, "You want to know Zhao Sanjin's arrangement for you?"

Xu Zhenhong smiled bitterly and nodded.

Zhao Jiadi said bluntly, "He didn't say anything."

This was Xu Zhenhong's expected ending. It was Zhao Taizu's usual style of doing things. He was in the cloud, and then killed with one blow. The person who died didn't know how he died.The cunning rabbit dies like a dog, this sentence is too chilling.

Zhao Jiadi calmly said: "The kidnapping happened a year before you became Zhao Sanjin's driver, do you know why Zhao Sanjin still treats you as his confidant?"

Xu Zhenhong's heart trembled, one hand resting on the table subconsciously clenched his fist, and said, "Are you waiting for today?"

Zhao Jiadi asked curiously: "Who are you, Qi Fengnian?"

Xu Zhenhong shook his head and said: "At that time, I was not qualified to know Qi Fengnian. I was just a poor and crazy young man with only one life left. In order to climb up, what things can't be done? Is there anything I dare not fight? These Nian has always been regarded as a lonely wild ghost, trying to survive in the cracks, not a human being inside and outside. Jiadi, since we are face to face today, no matter what you say, I will accept my fate."

Zhao Jiadi asked: "Accept fate?"

Xu Zhenhong asked back: "Otherwise? It's not that I'm incapable of jumping over the wall like a dog, but I still have some conscience left before being eaten by dogs. If I want to avenge my revenge with the big boss, I can't do it. I don't regret planning to kidnap you back then. Then It's what the superior must do. I don't know Qi Fengnian, let alone the big boss, but after working as a driver for the big boss for so many years, without his cultivation, I might have been blamed for others, and I don't know how I died. So you want me to have nothing today, and I will never take away half a dime. But I hope you only target me, this group has a lot of talents, and you can use them all."

Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "What's yours is still yours. You continue to be your emperor."

Xu Zhenhong was puzzled, "How to say?"

Zhao Jiadi stood up, "You and I both know that unless I get rid of you, I won't be able to take away the country you conquered, and I won't be able to eat it if I take it. Don't say such high-sounding words. Besides, Zhao Sanjin is still very optimistic. You, the group of people he trained by himself, you are the best in Baidao, if you collapse, he will die of depression."

Xu Zhenhong was dumbfounded.

Zhao Jiadi walked up to Xu Zhenhong, and the separation was imminent. The two men with completely different backgrounds and growth trajectories, with extreme values ​​and outlook on life, did not know if there would be a chance to meet again.Zhao Jiadi smiled, Xu Zhenhong could only smile along with him.

Zhao Jia's first uppercut hit Xu Zhenhong's side face, and he immediately followed up with a fierce knee kick.

Pei Cuihu was surprised and ran over quickly.

Xu Zhenhong, who was pale and bent over in pain, raised his hand, signaling Pei Cuihu not to intervene.

Xu Zhenhong stood up straight slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Pei Cuihu looked at the inexplicable Zhao Jiadi with gloomy eyes, but he didn't see that the ponytail around him had even more gloomy eyes.This is the first time the ponytail has bloomed darkly.

Zhao Jiadi took Yuan Shu away, and Pei Cuihu, who thought he was going to collapse, said angrily: "Boss, how do you deal with this smug bastard?!"

Xu Zhenhong curled his lips, feeling a stabbing pain. This was something he hadn't tasted for many years. He smiled lightly and said slowly, "Clean up? You think too much. The big boss attaches more importance to Zhao Jiadi than anyone else. Clear. Besides, these two strikes are considered light. Without Zhao Jiadi’s words today, there is a possibility that I will be thrown into the Huangpu River tomorrow. How long do you think the big boss waited for today? My life , now it’s my own. Let’s go, change places, and buy you a drink. Let me tell you something inside, I’ve been holding back for so many years, it’s not easy. I’m sorry, your friendship with Yuan Shu is almost over.”

Pei Cuihu regretted in his heart, without showing it on his face, and said softly: "It's nothing."

Xu Zhenhong lit a cigarette, Pei Cuihu was still aggrieved, "What is Zhao Jiadi? If Zhao Taizu is not his father, why should he be equal to you?!"

Xu Zhenhong laughed loudly: "You, you, should I say that you are innocent, or is it just a stupid word left? Zhao Jiadi is the second generation rich, and you are different? Oh, it is different, you are the third rich generation and the fourth generation rich. Then Tell me yourself, why do you stand by my side? Just because of your father Pei Donghu?"

It was rare for Pei Cuihu to be angry, and he said angrily: "Yes!"

Xu Zhenhong patted her on the cheek, and said calmly: "Zhao Jiadi changed to my position, he will definitely not be able to get to where I am today. But if I switch identities with him, I will not be able to achieve his current achievements."

Pei Cuihu asked in a low voice: "Do you admire him?"

The empty rooftop restaurant was already reserved by Xu Zhenhong. He walked to the railing and said to himself, "I appreciate it. I saw him kneel down to the doctor for the stroke of his elementary school math teacher. No matter how incompetent he is, he is better than an unscrupulous desperado like me. Besides, he is quite capable. Cuihu, as a human being, it is very taboo to only see the shortcomings of others when looking down, and only see the strengths when looking up. So you Don't think about sneaking up on Zhao Jiadi and giving your old man Pei Donghu a chance to enjoy his old age in peace. For the next two or thirty years, just watch quietly."

Downstairs, Zhao Jiadi walked in front, Yuan Shu slightly behind.

Zhao Jiadi asked: "Is there nothing to say?"

Ponytail smiled and said, "I'll tell you when we get old."

Zhao Jiadi stopped, took her hand, and walked forward side by side.

------

After Zhao Jiadi won the Vision Cup No.1 for two consecutive times, he officially resigned from the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission. In early April, Jinhai Industrial welcomed the first group meeting of the board of directors after Zhao Taizu abdicated, which was of great significance.

This year's company's financial report is astonishingly thick at 295 pages. Even large listed companies generally have never reached this astonishing number. Both Jufeng Private Equity are included in the territory of Jinhai, and the founders of both are women.

dowry?

A group of old ministers all looked bitter.It is said that she is Li Zhijin, the daughter-in-law appointed by the Zhao family Lafayette. These old men have already seen the tricks, and they are extremely inhumane. Now she has brought the gold-absorbing monster Jufeng Private Equity, and the power will only become greater in the future.Cai Yanzhi?One-third of the financial report is expounding a cold fact: Donglei Group is a replica of Jinhai's business, involving a wide range of industries and making a lot of profits, which is not too inferior.Then, after Li Zhijin, she asks for a prominent position that matches her abilities, who would doubt it?Who dares to refute?Since Jinhai is a family business, the board members are naturally not linked to the proportion of individual shares, and external factors cannot affect the distribution of power. In the past, Zhao Taizu kept his promises. Now I thought there would be a change, but I didn't think it would still be nothing.The current position arrangement is roughly as follows: Li Zhijin, Sun Chuanfang, Cai Yanzhi, Zhao Jiadi, and the last symbolic Zhao Xin occupy the positions successively as the chairman and vice chairman.The executive director and directors are nine people, including Tang Xiusi, Guo Ning, Yu Chengping, and Jiang Hu. Among the nine, Donglei and Jufeng divide up two seats respectively.

The four independent directors are led by Jiang Shigen, an expert member of the new Central Bank Monetary Policy Committee, and the other three are retired senior officials similar to those from the Ministry of Commerce.

Zhao Jiadi is the president, and the top management will implement a rotation system this year, that is, each executive management team will serve as vice president for half a year and take charge of daily work. This shows that the new president Zhao Jiadi has no intention of monopolizing power.

Those onlookers who waited to see the decline of the Jinhai Empire II should be disappointed.

In addition to the half-baked young faces such as Tang Xiusi who is the CFO, there are several more brand new faces who are responsible for R&D, strategy, terminal business or some important joint venture companies. A young professor from Tsinghua University is among them.

There was also a middle-aged man who had just been fished out by Zhao Jiadi from the No. [-] Prison of Zhejiang Province in Quzhou.

At the board meeting, Li Zhijin got a report from Zhao Jiadi and spent three hours analyzing the various industries of the group. The current situation, prospects, bottlenecks, opportunities, targeted, hit the nail on the head, many things, not in Among them, the middle-level position has been fumbled, and it is difficult to draw detailed conclusions, which makes the Jinhai veterans look at each other in dismay.

There were as many as 64 middle and high-level people who were directly aired out for criticism or praise.Promotions or resignations are communicated as soon as the meeting is over.

Zhao Taizu never cared about such details!

At the end of the meeting, Chairman Li Zhijin presided over the meeting, so Zhao Jiadi, who had not spoken all the time, finally took the microphone and said flatly: "Jinhai will start preparing for listing from today, and it will take a few years, depending on the abilities of everyone here. Let me make a statement, Except for me, Chairman Li and President Cai, some of you will have the opportunity to hold up to 10% of the shares, followed by 8%, 6%, depending on performance."

Zhao Jiadi looked at Sun Chuanfang, a veteran of Jinhai, who was beside him, and half-jokingly said, "Vice Chairman Sun, do you have confidence?"

This question seemed to be out of order and inappropriate, but Sun Chuanfang was genuinely excited and smiled.

They were already disheartened, and they never expected that there would be a bright moment.listed!For a giant aircraft carrier like Jin Hai, not to mention the exaggerated figure of 10%, even 1% is tempting enough.

Intentionally or not, only Zhao Jiadi and Cai Yanzhi were left in the huge office.Even Li Zhijin didn't stay because Qi Dongcao was sitting downstairs.

Cai Yanzhi smiled and asked: "One is the main house, the other is the sister-in-law of the child, these two female Bodhisattvas are going to meet, why don't you, poor little boy, follow along to help smooth things over?"

Zhao Jiadi stretched his waist, and said with a guilty conscience: "Now they are all on the same page. They can't take care of me for the time being."

Cai Yanzhi suddenly felt a small movement from the lower waist and legs, and she said angrily: "Hoof!"

Zhao Jiadi withdrew his hands happily, put his hands on the table, propped his chin, and was in a daze.

The venue for the new board meeting was moved from Yanjing to Shancheng together with the group headquarters.What the subtext is, no one knows.

Zhao Jiadi suddenly asked: "Auntie, how old am I?"

Cai Yanzhi slammed a chestnut on the bastard's head, "Are you implying how old I am?!"

Zhao Jiadi was still looking at the long conference table, his eyes dazed.

Cai Yanzhi stood behind him, rubbed her shoulders, and asked softly, "Are you scared?"

Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "No, I just don't think it's true."

Cai Yanzhi leaned forward, leaned against Zhao Jiadi, and murmured softly, "I'm really getting old."

Zhao Jia said seriously for the first time: "Well, if you don't consummate the house, it will be too late."

Cai Yanzhi smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, Li Zhijin and Qi Dongcao are in a hurry. As expected, I read correctly, Wang Banjin is the least fuel-efficient lamp."

Zhao Jiadi sighed.

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

Downstairs in the chairman's office, Li Zhijin and Qi Dongcao who came quietly stood in front of the French windows.

Qi Dongcao touched her belly subconsciously, and said flatly, "We all lost."

Li Zhijin snorted coldly, changed the subject, and said, "How are my husband's articles received by Yenching?"

Qi Dongcao sneered and said, "You don't know as well as I do? It's interesting to ask what you know? Baliang will go to the Central Financial Channel for an interview soon, and then there will be lectures at Peking University and a series of colleges and universities. You are not involved in this?"

Li Zhijin smiled and said, "I am proud to have received the notebook."

Qi Dongcao tsk-tsk said: "The banquet is set? Up to now, your Li family has not met with Ba Liang, what a big show!"

Li Zhijin said optimistically: "Sooner or later, anyway, my son and daughter must be named Zhao."

Qi Dongcao said with a smile: "There is no such thing as a horoscope."

Li Zhijin turned his head and said, "Let's stop making fun of someone here at fifty or sixty steps. Wang Banjin has been here for a few months, four or five?"

Qi Dongcao said depressedly: "It's six months."

Li Zhijin laughed and said, "Look, I knew she was one foot taller than us."

Qi Dongcao said helplessly: "It seems to be a daughter, and she will definitely be a cute little doll in the future. By then, Wang Banjin will not be proud for a while."

Li Zhijin snorted and said, "It's okay, I will give birth to a son and bully her daughter every day."

Qi Dongcao patted his forehead.

Li Zhijin whispered: "The one upstairs, I guess I can't fight it. Why don't you come and help, and let's put our grievances aside for a few years?"

Qi Dongcao said decisively: "Sorry, I have drawn a very clear boundary with you."

With an indifferent face, Li Zhijin turned to play with an oversized and exquisite globe on the desk.

"Yuan Shu, do you agree?"

"Well, what a beautiful girl, I feel sorry for her."

"Where's Jiang Tanle, the teacher at Renmin University?"

"Yanjing is under your control. Anyway, I won't be this wicked woman. A aunt Cai, who is so beautiful, the little girl is already strictly guarded against, so you are my eight-armed nezha."

"you!"

"Oh also~"

--------

After the first lunar month of this year, it is the season for school to start. A place called Niuwei Gangzui in Anhui Province, today, was tossed with a lot of momentum by a group of leaders. It is said that even an executive senior official in the province will make a special appearance. As for the real inside story, it is rumored that the donor of Hope Primary School is one of the top private enterprises in China, and this enterprise has invested in and supported several provincial strategic key projects in Anhui Province. Astronomical figures.In the end, the wealthiest people in Niuwei Gangzui couldn’t imagine a company of such a size that a young man was in charge of its affairs. The man lived here for a while. I hope that all aspects of the elementary school will pay attention. It is said that he has a good temper and personality. I guess It was the middle-level leader of that company, and his superiors valued him so he had to treat him with care. This young man didn’t have much contact with the leader, but he was willing to chat with the villagers. Qian, how big is the company, and he will answer questions such as whether the children in the village can go to work, etc. Two days ago, a couple got married in the village, and an uncle who was familiar with him pretended to borrow that car badge It is a four-wheeled car, and he also smiled and readily agreed, and even the driver gave it to him. When he sent it back, there was a lot of mud on the car body. The uncle was trembling when he sent it back because he didn't dare to wash the car carelessly. The young man said with a smile It's all right, but I asked my uncle for two packs of wedding candy. How could the uncle who held the wedding with a special face be stingy with a few packs of wedding candy, and slapped his thigh, asking his youngest son Pidian Pidian to bring back a big bag, there must be more than [-] packs.

Today, even the city and county leaders did not know the identity of the young man. After driving for a while, he walked on a country road that could not be driven by a car. Who would have guessed that such a family would be the well-deserved leader of the Jinhai Empire.

Zhao Jiadi generally does not specifically participate in the Hope Primary School project. There is a special department in Jinhai that is responsible for this, but Anhui Province is a very special place. Emperor Yang Qing once told him in his diary that he would be responsible for the Hope Primary School built in the name of Cai Yanzhi. , and he was also buried in the place called Xiakeng Town in Wan Province, so Zhao Jiadi entrusted some unknown emotions to Wan Province.Furthermore, this time I want to find an opportunity to breathe. Jinhai's affairs belong to the executives who are occasionally lazy and make money, but hard work must be a place where the workload is bottomless. Zhao Jiadi is not only in charge of Jinhai's strategic development, but also has to go to Yanzhou from time to time. Beijing, many of his handwriting, through the old principal, can be handed over to the red wall for reference. After winning the Vision Cup for three consecutive years and becoming a blockbuster, his "extremely pessimistic" predictions in the macroeconomic field have triggered large-scale debates. Lie, Zhao Jiadi didn't care at first, he just thought that time would tell everything, and he never wanted to continue to post questions at the same time as if he had made an appointment with the big bosses in the economic circles, unveiling the prelude to Zhao Jia's first battle with the heroes, and finally made a fuss on the financial channel A group of people were pulled into the live broadcast room, and the camps were clearly divided. Zhao Jiadi, who was alone, faced a group of highly respected seniors in finance and economics.

God knows if Zhao Sanjin is behind it or not.

In the epic debate that China has never seen since the 90s, the two sides ended up winning or losing, and we still need to wait for time to verify.

During that time, Yanjing City happened to be snowing heavily.

Or it was snowing.

Zhao Jia was the first to ride Juechen.

Even though he didn't seem to have completely defeated the group of supporting heavyweight green leaves, even the common people in Yanjing knew this kid surnamed Zhao, and he was crazy.

And this guy who escaped from the wind and snow in the capital and came to the impoverished county of Anhui Province, at this moment peeled a piece of wedding candy and threw it into his mouth.

Han Daode was by his side. After successfully completing the undercover mission two years ago, this uncle was convulsed and unwilling to get a high salary and sit in a high position. , or let me go out."

Zhao Jiadi yelled, the yellow-toothed uncle who had not changed his comb for a hundred years stiffened his neck and refused to change his mind.In the end, Zhao Jiadi had no choice but to smash a car key, "Go and drive!"

Now Gimhae has shifted its focus from the coast to the Midwest.

Presumably this is what some bigwigs in the red wall are very happy to see.

Zhao Jiadi chewed the candy, approached a village, and asked, "Has the old school arrived yet?"

Han Daode nodded and said, "It should be in this village."

Zhao Jiadi entered the village, first bought a bag of Huangshan at the canteen, and after dismantling it, he went to see the original site of the primary school, but there was no one there.

Zhao Jiadi jumped onto the wall of a grain drying yard and sat there, smoking a cigarette and looking at the bright sky.

Han Daode squatted under the wall and smoked.

"Xiang Ruyi is now learning from Sun Chuanfang's teacher, Lao Han, look at him, he is much more successful than you."

"Hey, Eldest Young Master, I'll just give you the little skill of being a driver, and I'm content."

Zhao Jiadi sighed, and said to himself: "The sparrow, the leopard, and the pistol all came to the company to help me. Lao Yang finally found his wife, and the tiger is still wandering. Huang Hua's "Journey to the West but Journey to the East" is finally here. It's the end, I just don't know if this guy ever thought about self-publishing."

"Ma Xiaotiao is doing well. I heard from Qi Shugen that Liu Xin is now chasing him."

"The one surnamed Song actually surrendered to Li Tan."

Zhao Jiadi continued to mutter: "If I remember correctly, Wei Peipei, who is now a reporter for Southern Weekly, once studied in our high school for a year. I think the person I hugged on the sofa that night was not my sister Tong Xia, but Sister Tong Dong. I guess Yang Pingping probably liked me. God Pei Luo even secretly hid in Aman Fayun in Hangzhou, thinking that I didn’t know.”

Han Dagouleg didn't listen to these words that should be in the heart of the young master, but just smoked cheap cigarettes very contentedly.

Zhao Jiadi stopped talking and raised his head, "Grandpa, grandma, little fox, are you all okay?"

Han Daode stood up and ran to find a place to put water.

The grain drying field, which was already deserted, became even more silent.

Zhao Jiadi lowered his head, remembering that night of that year, that time when she looked back.

All he knew was that she withdrew from the system and went to a certain place to teach, but there was no news of her, and it had been three full years.

The carp should jump over the dragon gate, but why did that one go to the small pond?

Won't you be alone?
"Hey."

An ethereal voice sounded behind Zhao Jiadi.Familiar and unfamiliar.

Zhao Jiadi turned his head slowly.

That day of the year.

"My name is Zhao Jiadi, and I want to date you."

"why?"

"I can give you happiness."

This day of the year.

Zhao Jiadi said softly: "Hello."

Dressed plainly, she clasped her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and waited for the next sentence.

"My name is Zhao Jiadi, and I want to date you."

"why?"

"I can give you happiness."
