Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 714 A moment of leisure at home

"Heping, why didn't your father-in-law come back?"

Zhang Heping, who had just sat down at the dining table, casually replied to his father Zhang Bing, "His eldest son and grandson are both there, so he must stay a few more days."

Zhang Heping had already told his mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng and mother Ma Xiuzhen when his father-in-law Tang Ming would return. His father Zhang Bing asked because he had just returned from outside.

After a group of disabled veterans came to Shenzhen Peace College, Comrade Zhang went out more frequently. He no longer stayed in the shoe repair shop like before. He met many customers but had few friends.

"Dad!" The second daughter Zhang Nan brought a bowl of soup over with both hands and placed it in front of Zhang Heping. Then she massaged Zhang Heping's shoulders and said with a smile:
"The ads for MP3 and MP4 players have been put out, but I always feel that the effect is not very good. Can you write a few songs for our players to promote MP3 and MP4?"

Speaking of songs, Zhang Heping suddenly remembered that Zheng Lijun, Lin Jie and others were still in Taiwan, so he asked his eldest son Zhang Bei to get his cell phone and call Wei Chunqiao in Hong Kong.

"Old Wei, have Brother Hu and the others come back?" Zhang Heping listened to the reply from the other end of the line, hummed twice, and then got down to business, "Please help me contact Lin Jie and the others and tell them that they can come back."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping patted the little hand that was still massaging his shoulders and said, "Okay, I asked Zheng Lijun for a favor this time, so I'll write a song for her as a thank you."

"When the time comes, ask her if she's willing to help you promote your new song."

"Hehe! With her promotion, the East Asian market is secured!" Zhang Nan said, but his hands did not move away from his father's shoulders. "Dad, write another Yingwen song, and I will use it to capture the European magnesium market."

Facing the expectant gaze of his first wife, Zhang Heping nodded, "Then write another one, no more."

"My dad is the best!" Zhang Nan put his arms around his dad's neck and acted coquettishly against his cheek.

"Okay, sit down and eat. You're so grown up, but you're still clinging to your dad!" Tang Xin said, reaching out and patting her second daughter's butt.

"Hehe!" Zhang Nan smiled, let go of her hand, and returned to her seat.

Seeing that his granddaughter had calmed down, Zhang Bing asked again, "Heping, what is the current situation on Taiwan Island?"

Zhang Heping responded casually, talking about his experiences on this trip to Taiwan.

...

Shenzhen, Peace Hotel.

"Sister Lin, that looks like Manager Huang!" Tong Huizhen from the Foreign Affairs Office pointed in the direction of Zhuang Lin and whispered, "Why is she having dinner with two soldiers?"

Zhuang Lin looked at the table next to her. Although she was a little confused, she was not here to discuss cooperation after all, so she did not think too much about it.

"Eat quickly, we have to go to the college to see Consultant Zhang later." Zhuang Lin urged, then continued to eat.

As for Huang Wenli, she was recognized by the investment representative of Shanghai not long after she sat down.

A moment later, representatives from Guangdong Province, Beihu Province, and Shanghai who had heard the news all rushed over.

Led by Huang Xuemin, the two investment promotion teams from Guangdong Province and Shanghai shamelessly sat down and accompanied Huang Wenli to entertain the two soldiers from Fujian Province.

Tong Huizhen pricked up her ears and listened for a while before she spoke again: "Sister Lin, I heard from them that they seem to want to invest in Fujian Province?"

"They haven't even reached an agreement with the cooperation and communication team, so why are they going to invest in Fujian?"

Zhuang Lin frowned and said nothing, but the translator Lao Ji said disdainfully: "The cooperation communication team didn't take Manager Huang seriously. They always wanted to skip her and talk to Consultant Zhang directly about cooperation."

"Those people don't even think about why Consultant Zhang didn't work at Peace Group, and why they let Manager Huang be in charge of the Shenzhen branch of Peace Investment."

Tong Huizhen followed up on this and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Since you have all finished eating, let's go now, so as not to disturb Consultant Zhang and his family's rest when you are there too late!" Zhuang Lin stood up, interrupted the conversation between his subordinates, and left the restaurant directly.

Zhuang Lin and four others worked for the Foreign Affairs Office and did not have the authority to enter and exit Shenzhen Peace College freely. This time, they were picked up by Zhang Pandidi.

"Who makes your heart beat? Who makes your heart ache?"

"Who makes you want to hold him in your arms sometimes?"

"Who cares about your dreams? Who says he can understand your thoughts?" "Who is moved by you?"

"It's just that women tend to be deeply in love."

"Always trapped in love, finally getting deeper and deeper..."

After Zhuang Lin and his group got off the car, they heard singing coming from Villa No. 1.

"Is this your brother singing?" Zhuang Lin looked at Zhang Pandi in surprise.

Zhang Pandi smiled and said, "You came at the right time. My brother is being pestered by his second daughter to write a song. Once you come, he will have a reason not to write."

Zhuang Lin walked closer to the villa and listened for a while. Only when the unknown song finished did she walk towards the door of the villa with Zhang Pandi with some emotion.

"The song 'Ask' is for Zheng Lijun. When the time comes, find someone to deliver the lyrics and music to her. Don't go by yourself!"

When Zhuang Lin and his companions arrived at the door of the villa, they saw Zhang Heping instructing someone in the living room, and there were people around him holding some musical instruments.

Seeing that there were outsiders coming, Zhang Nan hurriedly said, "Dad! Sing this song "You Raise Me Up" once, and I'll see which celebrity to invite to sing it."

"You don't need to invite any celebrities to sing this song. Just ask someone to go to a church in Hong Kong Island to hire a youth choir." Zhang Heping said, and then looked at his first wife Tang Xin.

Tang Xin understood, picked up the violin, and plucked the strings according to the music Zhang Heping had just written.

Then, Zhang Heping began to sing slowly.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary.
When I was frustrated and depressed, my spirit was so exhausted.

When troubles come and my heart burdened be.
When troubles and difficulties hit me, my heart feels so heavy.

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence.
However, I stood there silently, waiting quietly.

Until you come and sit awhile with me.
Until you come and sit with me for a while.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.
You inspire me so I can stand on top of the mountains.

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
You inspire me to cross the stormy seas.

……

clap clap clap!
After the song was over, the two male translators from the Foreign Affairs Office were the first to applaud.

Zhuang Lin and Tong Huizhen had also learned Eagle language, but they were not good at speaking it. However, they could understand the general meaning of the Eagle language song just now. It was a good and inspiring song, so they clapped their hands a few times.

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things, we have guests coming!"

After Zhang Heping finished speaking, the younger generation hurriedly moved away musical instruments, cameras and other items.

"Dad, there's one more thing!" Zhang Nan hugged her father's arm tightly and said with a smile, "I want to hold a digital camera photography competition at the World Internet Forum. What do you think?"

Zhang Heping nodded, "Sure! The first prize will be higher, and the lowest participation prize will not be given in cash, but a certificate or a glass trophy."

"Well! I also think that it is not appropriate to give out 100 Hong Kong dollars as the sixth prize!" Zhang Nan got a satisfactory suggestion, then he loosened his arm and went to look for the camera.

With the busy work of a group of little ones, the living room was quickly cleaned up.

"Honey, let's go out for a walk!" Chen Shuting was helped up by Ma Xiuzhen. She said with a smile, and then took her family out to walk around the artificial lake so as not to disturb Zhang Heping and the others' conversation.

"Director Zhuang, please sit anywhere!" Zhang Heping greeted them and then put the teacups aside.

Just as he was putting the tea leaves in, his second sister Zhang Pandi had already brought the kettle and started pouring boiling water to help him.
