Chapter 787 Return to the Capital

Ever since Mr. Hua found out that there was technical information in the suitcase that Zhang Heping had sent to China, he never opened the suitcase again.

Even when they arrived at the Capital Airport, facing a group of guards who came to greet them, Mr. Hua insisted on carrying the black suitcase himself, causing Zhang Heping, Director Wang, and Secretary Chen, who were empty-handed, to receive many strange looks.

"Heping, take a day off first. I'll send a car to pick you up at 6: the day after tomorrow!" Before getting in the car, Mr. Hua made an appointment with Zhang Heping.

After Zhang Heping responded and confirmed, Mr. Hua got into the car and left with Secretary Chen.

Director Wang got on another car and prepared to go home first.

There will be a meeting the day after tomorrow, and Zhang Heping, the economic advisor, will be required to attend.

As for the box of technical information in Mr. Hua's hand, Zhang Heping had already told him clearly that if he had any questions, he should consult the relevant experts at Shenzhen Peace College.

Just like before, Zhang Heping and his family returned with a team of bodyguards.

Because Mr. Hua arranged a fleet of cars to pick him up at the airport, Zhang Heping did not ask the Heping Auto Experience Store to send a car over.

After the convoy drove through Di'anmen and turned into Wannian Hutong, it was blocked by roadside stalls, rickshaws and crowds of people.

"Advisor Zhang, I'm sorry, there are too many people here. We need to walk the rest of the way."

Hearing what the guard in the front passenger seat said, Zhang Heping opened the car door and got out without saying anything.

"Didn't they clean up the streets here before?" Chen Shuting got out of the car holding her youngest son Zhang Hao and asked the eldest wife Tang Xin casually, "I haven't been back for a while, why are there so many street stalls again?"

Tang Xin held the little girl Zhang Nuo's hand and responded with a smile: "I heard mom mention it last time. Prices in the mainland have risen. Some factories and units can't afford to pay wages, or the wages are too low, which has led to many people setting up stalls to do business."

The second daughter, Zhang Nan, added: "Many professors and teachers also go to the night market to set up stalls at night because of their low salaries and their spouses who are unemployed."

Zhang Heping did not join in the conversation. After declining the guard's suggestion to escort him for another section, he asked the bodyguards to split up and head towards Yinding Bridge.

The fourth daughter, Zhang Feng, saw a roadside stall selling candied haws and asked her two twin brothers to buy some. Then she took a string of candied haws and used it to amuse her two-year-old brother Zhang Hao.

Zhang Bei was given a candied haws by his sixth brother Zhang Hu. He was slightly stunned and then handed the candied haws to his seventh sister Zhang Nuo, and continued to think about his company's business.

If it weren't for his father Zhang Heping's request, Zhang Bei would not have abandoned Hong Kong Island Technology Co., Ltd., which had only been established a few months ago, and come here.

The group arrived at the Zhang family compound on the north bank of Houhai Lake in a mighty procession, but they did not see Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Bing. Instead, it was Aunt Chen from the Zhou family who was sitting on a small stool at the door waiting for Zhang Heping and the others.

"Heping, your parents have gone to the Harmony Hospital and will be back soon." Aunt Chen explained as she welcomed Zhang Heping and his group into the yard.

When the brothers Zhou Chengwen and Zhou Chengwu heard the noise, they poked their heads out of the tailor shop and the clothing store. After seeing Zhang Heping's family return, they immediately followed them and wanted to help the bodyguards share the luggage.

It's a pity that those bodyguards also wanted to show off, so how could they let the two Zhou brothers succeed?

Zhang Bei went to shop No. 6 on the right side of the door and took a look, and found that his cousin Ma Yongli was not in the Internet cafe, and there was no one at the bar.

However, Ma Yongli's two sons were playing games in front of the computer next to the bar, so they were not left unattended.

Zhang Heping originally wanted to have half of the bodyguard team stay in Building 9 on the other side of the courtyard.

Previously, the rooms on the 9nd and 2rd floors of Building 3 were occupied by classmates who accompanied Zhang Bei to open the Capital Technology Company.

Now that they have graduated and the classmates have gone their separate ways, the room should be empty.

As a result, just when Zhang Heping wanted to ask someone to go over and see the room, the second brother Zhou Chengwu rushed to explain: "Brother Heping, the room over there is now occupied by relatives from your parents' hometown."

Zhang Heping nodded and didn't dwell on the matter. He asked the team of bodyguards to go to the Capital Hotel to reserve a room first, as the private rooms there were always rented anyway.

After receiving a suitcase of unknown gifts from Tang Xin, Zhou Chengwu said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law! There will be a large celebration party at the Capital Gymnasium tomorrow night. Do you want to go and watch it?"

"If you guys want to go see it, I'll go find a way to get tickets right away."

Tang Xin thought about the last time she watched the Spring Festival Gala at the Capital Gymnasium. The lighting and sound effects were not good, and there were too many people talking and it was hard to hear clearly. So she shook her head and refused, "Forget it. It's not safe with too many people!"

"Ah Xin, every time you come back, you give us big boxes of gifts. We don't know how to repay you!" Aunt Zhou Chen Liqin looked at the trolley suitcase in front of her and showed an embarrassment on her face.

If prices hadn't risen before, Chen Liqin could have used her husband's salary to buy some gifts in return.

Now that prices have risen, her husband's pension has not increased. Xijiang has kept her husband to continue to work hard, but has not mentioned any subsidies or anything.

"Aunt Chen, you are being too polite!" Tang Xin consoled her, "Didn't you ask Xiaochun and Xiaopeng to bring us some special products from the capital when they went to Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Heping ignored the argument between his first wife Tang Xin and Aunt Chen. He took his laptop, went to the public lounge area on the third floor, found a recliner to sit on, and started reading his emails.

Zhou Laoer followed happily, dragging his suitcase, and even made a cup of tea for Zhang Heping.

"Brother Heping, I want to go to Shenzhen to buy some of the latest styles of clothing from Hong Kong. Do you have any acquaintances in this area?" Zhou Laoer put down his teacup and asked with a smile.

"There is a photo section on the World Internet Forum, which contains photos of people from all over the world." Zhang Heping looked at the laptop monitor and said casually:
"If you like any of the clothes in the photos, just ask your sister-in-law to take a look. With her tailoring skills, it won't be difficult to copy the clothes in the photos. There's no need to go to Shenzhen to buy them for the time being."

Zhou Chengwen also came over and sat down in silence for a while before asking, "Heping, do you think the Capital's Second Garment Factory and the Third Cotton Mill can be saved?"

Although the Capital's Second Garment Factory where Ma Lili worked and the Capital's Third Cotton Mill where Zhou Chengwen worked had paid some back wages to the workers intermittently, in total, the workers still owed one year's wages.

"If you ask me, I can definitely save him! But the management of your factory will not let me do it, because I will fire those incompetent managers, including your factory director." Zhang Heping said casually.

Because in his opinion, this is just an acquisition and restructuring business project that can be done with just a few words.

However, Zhou Chengwen heard that they were blaming the incompetent management of their factory, which caused the factory to have no business and no profits.

Zhang Heping chatted with the two Zhou brothers for a while, and then their mother Ma Xiuzhen and father Zhang Bing came back with some relatives.

Zhang Heping didn't know any of Zhang Bing's relatives from his hometown, nor did he want to know them.

Ever since his two sisters left their hometown and came to the capital, Zhang Heping has looked down on the people there.

The Zhang family can’t even support two little girls. They can’t be said to be united.

Zhang Heping had seen the two middle-aged men next to his uncle Ma Zhiyi when he went to Majiatun before.

Therefore, Zhang Heping only greeted Ma Zhiyi and the other three, and ignored the four men and two women who followed Zhang Bing.

Ma Xiuzhen knew her son's stubborn temper, so she didn't go over to him right away. After asking everyone to sit wherever they wanted, she went to look for her daughter-in-law and grandson and granddaughter.

"Heping, this is your cousin..." Zhang Bing tried to introduce these six relatives from his hometown to Zhang Heping, but was ignored by Zhang Heping.

Seeing that Zhang Heping was only focused on his computer, Zhang Bing said nothing more after introducing the names.

Then, the atmosphere became awkward. Ma Zhiyi originally wanted to say something to his nephew, but after Zhang Bing's actions, he couldn't interrupt.

The six relatives of the Zhang family now needed help, and since they heard that Zhang Heping was a big boss, they didn't dare to act rashly. They just sat quietly and looked around.

Seeing this, the brothers Zhou Chengwen and Zhou Chengwu smiled, exchanged a few polite words, and then left with their suitcases.

It was only after Ma Yongli and Ma Yonghu came back that the Ma family told Zhang Heping about their intention. Two aunts were admitted to the Harmonious Hospital.

In response, Zhang Heping simply asked their names and bed locations.

On the laptop screen that Zhang Bing and the others could not see, Zhang Heping sent an email to Hu Hui, the former director of the cosmetology department who had returned to the capital earlier, asking for the physical examination data of the two aunts-in-law to confirm whether they were suitable for using the 100-year life potion.

As the bodyguards on duty tonight came over from the Capital Hotel, the Zhang family's original relatives, who had originally been afraid to act rashly, became even more afraid to speak after seeing those bodyguards in black.

Zhang Bing saw all this, and although he felt helpless, he still comforted himself that at least his son did not stop him from helping his relatives in his hometown.

Knowing that Zhang Heping's family would be back today, the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi and the second sister Zhang Pandyi did not work overtime and also brought their children back from school.

My eldest sister's little nephew Chang Qing entered Capital Jiaotong University in September this year, majoring in railway transportation.

What surprised Zhang Heping was that Zhang Yi, who had only been teaching for less than a month, actually brought back a tall girl when he drove back today.

According to the gossip of his mother Ma Xiuzhen, the person Zhang Yi was dating was the daughter of a professor at Shuimu University.

In addition, my cousin Zhou Xiaochun, who has been studying at CCTV for a few months, has also changed a lot.

When the girl came back, she was wearing a white shirt, a gray suit, a professional skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and brown leather shoes. She also had light makeup on her face and her hair was tied up, making her look much more mature.

"Dad!" Zhang Nian, the third daughter who had just returned home, came to Zhang Heping and said mysteriously, "I am also an activist!"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded casually.

This girl is a senior in college, but she has not yet achieved her goal of becoming the student union president.

I don’t know if she can be successfully elected after becoming an activist this time.

However, a familiar economics professor at Capital University tactfully revealed that his third daughter dares to say anything and has a 50-50 split between supporters and opponents at school.

"Dad, can you cooperate with me and show some surprise?" Zhang Nian pulled her father's clothes and acted coquettishly, obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Heping's too bland reaction.

"Comrade Xiao Nian!" Zhang Heping looked at his third daughter seriously and said without a smile, "For underground workers like us, it is taboo to show our emotions. It is easy to expose ourselves. Do you understand?"

"Hey!" Zhang Nian lowered his voice and responded seriously: "Miss Hua knows how to work!"

Poof...

Zhang Pandi was listening with her ears perked up to what the father and daughter were saying, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing!

Several people nearby who heard the conversation between Zhang Heping and Zhang Nian also started laughing, causing others to ask what happened.

The family chatted and laughed for a while, and after everyone came back, they went out together to have dinner at the Capital Hotel.

Ma Xiuzhen has been running to the Harmony Hospital these days and has no time to prepare meals for the family. In addition, there are many people here today, so they have to eat out.

In addition, Zhang Heping and others will also take time to visit the Harmony Hospital, which is relatively close from the Capital Hotel.

"Brother!" Zhang Pandi, the second sister, pulled Zhang Heping and walked to the side of Zhang Zhaodi, the eldest sister, and whispered, "Some positions have been vacated in the Foreign Trade Department recently. Please help my eldest sister to find out which department is suitable for her."

After Zhang Pandyi finished speaking, she asked her elder sister Zhang Zhaodyi to introduce the department of their department.

Zhang Heping knew that there was an anti-corruption campaign going on recently and many people had been brought down.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to get the research project on controlled nuclear fusion device started.

After listening to his elder sister Zhang Zhaodi's introduction, he shook his head and said, "The Peace Group will not compromise with the Magnesium Country. The economic bubble of Japan may burst at any time. North Su focuses on heavy industry and ignores light industry..."

Zhang Heping analyzed the situation for the elder sister and finally said, "It's best for you to focus on finance."

"If you want to go further, you can take some time to learn about taxation, understand the previous taxation policies, and the relevant situation of foreign taxation."

"The domestic fiscal and taxation departments are not separated, which is a big drawback. We must carry out tax-sharing reform and establish a new taxation department in the future."

When the two sisters heard the words "tax department", their eyes immediately lit up.

Compared with the old department with complicated relationships, the relationships in the new department are naturally simpler and can achieve better results.

The three siblings talked about the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, and then the group arrived at the Capital Hotel leisurely.

Seeing that Zhang Heping ignored his relatives, Zhang Bing arranged the six relatives from his hometown to sit at one table so that they would not be an eyesore at the main table.

There were more than a dozen bodyguards waiting to have dinner together at the Capital Hotel. When the six relatives of the Zhang family saw so many bodyguards present and being so respectful to Zhang Heping's family, how could they dare to sit at the main table?

After the whole family had dinner, chatting and laughing, Ma Xiuzhen asked the waiter to pack some food, and then they walked towards the Harmonious Hospital together, taking a walk to digest the food.

Zhang Heping had already looked at the medical examination records of the two aunts-in-law from the Ma family before leaving.

If they want to use the potion that extends their lifespan to 100 years, they will need at least a month of recuperation.

So, Zhang Heping went there tonight not to prescribe medicine for them, but to visit the Harmonious Hospital and meet an old friend.

After all, Zhang Heping arranged for so many relatives to stay in Harmonious Hospital with just one phone call, which somewhat disrupted the order of the hospital. He needed to go over and repay this favor.

After arriving at the place, Zhang Heping first went to the Cancer Treatment Institute of Harmony Hospital.

Although Zhang Heping rarely returns to the capital, he still serves as the director of the Cancer Treatment Institute of Harmony Hospital, with two deputy directors and a group of researchers under him.

"Director!"

"Teacher Zhang, long time no see!"

Deputy Director Qin knew that Zhang Heping was coming and was planning to pay a visit to the dean and others, so he discussed it with Deputy Director Zhou and told the dean about it.

As a result, all the hospital leaders who had originally gone off work were recruited to the research institute.
