Chapter 111 Growth under pressure
() Not long after, Lin Tao was already sweating profusely.
Only then did he realize what the real gap was. Even when he faced Sun Zhenying and Zhou Guangcai, he felt this kind of pressure.
It turns out that the so-called official authority is this feeling!
Lin Tao finally understood that it was no wonder that the first rank of officials crushed people to death. Maybe the difference in positions was not the reason for "crushing people to death", but the so-called "official authority" was.
After a while, the sweat on the forehead has flowed down the cheeks.
But at this time, Lin Tao's mentality was much more stable, and he was no longer as nervous as before.
Sweating is the body's response, but psychologically, he has gradually become peaceful.
Facing state-level and ministerial-level cadres is indeed a rare opportunity for young people like Lin Tao to exercise.
Sweat flowed down his cheeks, but the sweat on Lin Tao's forehead gradually disappeared.Until the sweat disappeared from his face, he could completely bear the pressure from Zhang Chaosheng, but he was still overwhelmed by Zhang Tieyuan.
"not bad!"
Zhang Tieyuan spoke out first, put away his power, and Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's very good!" Zhang Chao echoed.
"You guys..."
Lin Huiru sighed helplessly.
Zhang Qianying knew why her mother sighed, but she thought it was a good thing for Lin Tao. It should be much easier for Lin Tao to withstand the pressure of his father and grandfather, and then face other officials.
"Xiao Lin, drink tea, drink tea!" Zhang Chaosheng picked up the teapot, and Lin Tao immediately held the cup in both hands, and said politely, "Thank you uncle!"
"Don't stress, we were just testing out habitually just now, there was no malice!" The old man explained.
"understand!"
Lin Tao nodded again and again, and thanked both of them in his heart. This "test" has benefited him a lot.
The Zhang family had heard Zhang Qianying talk about Lin Tao's family situation before, and knowing that he was alone, naturally they would not ask these questions again, but asked about work matters.
Lin Tao also answered very honestly, the facts are like this, there is nothing to be ashamed of being unemployed at home.
After all, it is a woman who is careful. Liang Huiru always felt that a person like Lin Tao could not be the kind of lazy and slow person, so she asked the reason, and Lin Tao also briefly explained the matter.
He never thought of using the influence of the Zhang family to help him solve the problem, it was just out of politeness, the elders asked questions, and the younger ones answered.
But in the view of Zhang and his son, they have another idea.
As for how to treat this matter, no one knows.
"These people are really going too far, bullying others!" Liang Huiru complained for Lin Tao.
Marrying into a political family, Liang Huiru naturally understands the truth, and some things cannot be said casually.But after all, this is at home, Lin Tao is kind to her daughter, and it is not convenient for her husband and father-in-law to talk, but she has to say it. If she doesn't, it will seem too impersonal.
"Auntie, don't affect your mood because of my affairs. It's a happy thing for Sister Zhang to go home!" Lin Tao said.
"Yes, Xiao Lin is right, this kid is really sensible!"
No matter what Zhang's father and son think, Liang Huiru likes Lin Tao very much.
"Why hasn't Yangyang come back yet?" Zhang Chaosheng asked suddenly.
Liang Huiru also wondered: "I called a long time ago, why doesn't this kid care at all?" She stood up and went to the side to make a call.
"Xiaolin, Xiaoying caused you trouble in Junbei." The old man repeated the old saying.
Lin Tao hastily said humbly: "Grandpa is too polite. In fact, Sister Zhang took care of me more. The price of renting my house has not increased for many years, which saved me a lot of money." He said and laughed.
"Xiaoying, if you're not self-willed..." The old man couldn't continue, and shook his head, "Anyway, if you can recognize you as a godbrother, you are considered destined."
With a thought, Lin Tao realized that the intention of the old man's words was not very simple, and seemed to mean something else.
As expected, Zhang Qianying frowned slightly.
Lin Tao laughed and said, "That's it, that's it. I'm very happy to have an older sister to take care of me."
Zhang's father and son exchanged glances briefly, and Zhang Chao laughed and said, "Xiao Lin, do you plan to go into politics?"
Lin Tao shook his head again and again, and said, "I'm not that material. I know my own level best. If I take that path, I'll be like nothing. There are too many outstanding talents, and I'm still far behind. "
He has always maintained a modest and cautious attitude, and finally won the goodwill of Zhang and his son.
He didn't take advantage of the opportunity to ask for help, he didn't have Zhang Qianying's idea, and he didn't use the Zhang family as a backer to enter the political circle. All this shows that Lin Tao's character is not bad, at least at present, he is much stronger than many young people.
With the Zhang family as the backer, this kind of temptation is not something ordinary people can resist, especially for those officials who are already at the bureau level, the road to the ministerial level may be just a word from Mr. Zhang.
"The meal should be ready?" The old man suddenly changed the subject.
"I'll go and have a look!" Zhang Chaosheng stood up, quietly came to Liang Huiru's side, whispered a few words, and walked into the room together.
"Little Yingzi, it's time for more tea!"
The old man sent Zhang Qianying away again with one sentence.
"Lin Tao, tell me the truth, what are you trying to do?" The old man stared at Lin Tao with scorching eyes. He looked like an old man in his eyes, and he was even brighter than a young man.
Under his gaze of contempt, few people would dare to tell lies.
"Peace of mind!"
Lin Tao responded indifferently, not being moved by the old man's aura.
Facing the pressure of Zhang Tieyuan, he can basically achieve the word "stable".
"No return?"
"No picture, just peace of mind!" Lin Tao's tone was still indifferent, but his expression was very sure.
"Good, good, good!"
Zhang Tieyuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. Lin Tao was still insisting that he was either a person with a pure nature or a person who committed crimes and evils.
Zhang Tieyuan would rather believe in his granddaughter's vision, and believe that after she has experienced a painful lesson, her vision of seeing people will become very accurate.
"Grandpa praised it!"
The old man said three good things in a row just now, and every word he uttered was full of air, followed by a very oppressive aura.
But Lin Tao is over it!
After saying the third word "good", the momentum disappeared instantly, and Lin Tao was shaken for a while.He was surprised to find that the existence of Zhang Tieyuan had already reached the level of control over the aura that could be sent and received freely. In this respect, he was too far behind. It was easy to send it out, but it was extremely difficult to take it back instantly.
"Xiao Lin, the Zhang family owes you a favor!" The old man solemnly promised.
Lin Tao was neither surprised nor pleased, neither humble nor overbearing, and nodded with the same serious and solemn expression.
The old man gave him an admiring look. Lin Tao was obviously in serious trouble, but he didn't immediately ask the Zhang family to help him solve it. This alone, many people can't do it. In a short time, he has become calm enough.
Lin Tao is not stupid. As long as the old man is still alive, this kind of promise will be valid. The pressure put on him by the Zhou family has not reached the stage where he can't stand it. Now use the promise to deal with the Zhou family, unless the entire Zhou family is dismembered. Otherwise, the loss outweighs the gain.
"You are very good. You are better than many people. You are very appetizing to my old man!" Zhang Tieyuan laughed. At this time, he could not see the shadow of the former prime minister at all.
"Grandpa, do I pass the test?"
"Forget it, of course it does!" Zhang Tieyuan stretched out his hand to press the armrest, Lin Tao quickly stretched out his hand, the old man was not polite, and stood up with Lin Tao's support.
"Xiao Lin, the Zhang family can't stand it anymore!" the old man said earnestly, completely treating Lin Tao as a junior.
Lin Tao nodded and said, "I understand!"
He knew very well in his heart that his so-called temperament was fine against little girls, but if he wanted to use it against an existence like Zhang Tieyuan, he would simply be beyond his control, and with his temperament, it was impossible to be affected.
But to say that the old man is confiding in Lin Tao, it is really not considered, in fact, it is more like a cryptic pleading.
Lin Tao understood that Zhang Qianying's last marriage had already disgraced the Zhang family. If she was cheated again, the Zhang family might not be able to hold their head up in this circle.
"It's good to understand!"
Zhang Tieyuan sighed meaningfully.
"Come on, let's go in and eat!" he said.
Lin Tao helped the old man into the house. The living room is large, but the decoration is very simple, which does not match his status as a national leader at all.
In the dining room is a rectangular solid wood dining table, which is already filled with delicious and delicious dishes.
Zhang Qianying stepped forward to replace Lin Tao and helped the old man to the main seat and sat down. Zhang Chaosheng and the two guys sat on the left hand side, Zhang Qianying and Lin Tao sat on the right hand side, and there was still a vacant seat on the right hand side.
"Yangyang hasn't come back yet?" The old man was a little unhappy.
"It's here!" Liang Huiru said.
When the last dish was served, someone shouted outside: "I'm back!"
Zhang Tieyuan snorted: "I finally know I'm back!"
Lin Tao suddenly lowered his head and asked Zhang Qianying in a low voice, "Is Zhang Yang your younger brother?"
"Yes, you know him?" Zhang Qianying was very surprised.
"Let's talk about it later!" Lin Tao shook his head. It seemed that once he got involved with a woman, nothing good would happen. That's when he met Huang Yuewei, and he probably also messed with Zhang Yang.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
Zhang Yang's voice was laziness, and he came in slowly from outside.
All eyes were on him, but Zhang Yang kept staring at Lin Tao, even ignoring Zhang Qianying who had just returned home next to him.
"Yangyang, didn't you see your sister come back?"
Zhang Tieyuan scolded, his grandson's behavior is really not good today, his sister hasn't come home for many years, he is not excited at all.
"Sister, you're finally back!" Zhang Yang muffled.
Zhang Qianying felt very uncomfortable. Zhang Yang was almost brought up by her, and she should have been the closest to her, but her tone was so estranged.
"Well, come and sit!" She forced herself to suppress her negative emotions, and said to her brother with a smile on her face.
"Oh, I'm not hungry, I just ate, eat!" Zhang Yang glanced at Lin Tao again, and was about to go upstairs.
"Snapped!"
Zhang Tieyuan slammed his chopsticks on the table so hard that one of the chopsticks bounced off and fell directly into the soup bowl.
"Come here for me!"
"Grandpa, I'm really tired! After talking about business all day, let me take a rest. I'll come down to chat with my sister after you all have dinner!" Zhang Yang completely ignored the old man's anger.
"Grandpa, don't be angry!" Zhang Qianying urged hastily, "Let Yang Yang rest when he's tired. Let's eat first!"
This is a family matter of the Zhang family, and Lin Tao is not qualified to speak. He silently picked up the chopsticks from the soup bowl, wiped them with a napkin, and put them back in front of Zhang Tieyuan.
"Grandpa, eat first!"
Seeing Zhang Tieyuan's livid face, he had no choice but to speak.After all, he is an outsider, and he can be regarded as a guest. Talking in this situation can be regarded as a step for Zhang Tieyuan, and it also has the effect of relieving the atmosphere.
"You can call me Grandpa?" Zhang Yang said coldly from the side.
"asshole!"
Zhang Tieyuan was really angry. When he slapped hard, the whole solid wooden table trembled twice!
Only then did he realize what the real gap was. Even when he faced Sun Zhenying and Zhou Guangcai, he felt this kind of pressure.
It turns out that the so-called official authority is this feeling!
Lin Tao finally understood that it was no wonder that the first rank of officials crushed people to death. Maybe the difference in positions was not the reason for "crushing people to death", but the so-called "official authority" was.

"Xiao Lin, drink tea, drink tea!" Zhang Chaosheng picked up the teapot, and Lin Tao immediately held the cup in both hands, and said politely, "Thank you uncle!"
"Don't stress, we were just testing out habitually just now, there was no malice!" The old man explained.
"understand!"
Lin Tao nodded again and again, and thanked both of them in his heart. This "test" has benefited him a lot.
