Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"I won't drink the tea. I'm here to pick you up. Is the old boss here?"

The person who came was Zheng Weimin, the secretary of Han Tao's uncle He Guoqiang. He came specifically to pick up Han Tao.

Hearing the noise in the living room, Han Tao's grandfather came out of the kitchen and said, "Xiao Zheng, you are here to pick up Xiao Tao, right?"

Zheng Weimin straightened up quickly and responded with a smile: "Yes, old leader, the leader asked me to come over. The guests over there have arrived."

"Okay, then hurry over there and don't be rude!" After saying that, the old man tilted his head towards Han Tao, motioning him to follow.

At this time, Han Tao's grandmother also came out and said unhappily, "You're leaving now? It's so urgent that you can't even have a peaceful meal?"

"This... Aunt Wang, there are guests coming, otherwise even if you give the leader two courages, I would not dare to offend you.

Don't worry, I'll arrange the hotel, and the food will probably be on the table by now. I want you to promise that Taozi won't be hungry!"

"I know the second brother, Xiao Tao, has something important to do, but Miss Xiao Jiang just arrived..."

How could the old lady not know? It was just that Jiang Lai had just sat down, and it would be a bit inappropriate for Han Tao not to be there.

"Grandma Wang, I'll go back to the hotel first and come to see you and Grandpa He another day." Although Jiang Lai is a rich second-generation and can act pretentiously, he still has a high emotional intelligence.

"No, girl, you can't leave. Their men asked them to take you away. You must eat here before you leave."

"Yes, listen to your grandmother Wang and stay for dinner before leaving!"

Han Tao also said, "Jiang Lai, if grandma asks you to stay, then stay. I'll ask the driver to wait for you."

Hearing what he said, before Jiang Lai could refuse, the old man made the decision: "That's it, Mr. Wang, you chat with Xiao Jiang, I'll go cook."

"Okay, then call me when you're done and I'll take your place with your grandparents."

Jiang Lai then pulled Han Tao's grandmother and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, I haven't seen my grandma and grandpa since I was a child. I feel very close to you two. Please don't mind me disturbing you.

By the way, Han Tao never told me about his past. Can you tell me if he was really cold and distant when he was a child? "

"He's just pretending. I tell you, when this kid was little, he was very naughty."

After saying that, the old lady happily pulled Jiang Lai inside, with a smile on her face that never stopped.

Looking at his grandfather who had returned to the kitchen and his happy grandmother, Han Tao got to know Jiang Lai a little better.

It must be said that Jiang Lai and her gang may not be good at doing serious work, but they are good at dealing with people. They can speak such polite words fluently, which will please the elderly.

In fact, it is understandable. Not to mention this kind of occasion, even if the situation is dozens of times more complicated than this, they can handle it. After all, they have been influenced by their family, and speaking differently to different people is basic operation.

Even a set of formulas has been formed, which know when to add icing on the cake, when to add fuel to the fire, and when to retreat, all of which are easy to come by.

It’s like the girl I met at the bar, whose answer is always “occasionally,” “doesn’t like drinking,” “is studying for IELTS,” and “is preparing to study abroad.”

Chapter 726 The Arrival of Lao Sha

In the stadium next to the Donghai Hotel, Bai Yuzhong put down his basketball, panted, took out his phone, looked at it, and said, "Boss, I can't do it anymore. My hands are sore and I'm out of breath. I can't play anymore. You come."

"That's not enough?" The middle-aged man opposite him sighed, took the basketball and said with a smile:

"Look at you, you're so young and you don't exercise properly, you look so weak.

This young man can't just sit at his desk all day; he needs to move more. There's an old saying, "Life lies in movement."

After saying that, the middle-aged man threw another ball, then sat on a chair beside him, drinking water and pointing at his mobile phone.

Bai Yuzhong smiled understandingly, "It's Director Zhong's message. President He's car will be arriving soon. Han Tao, the director of Mingtang Law Firm, whom you specifically requested to see, is also on his way."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and said, "Now we're here, let's hurry back. We can't keep my classmate waiting for too long, or he'll punish me by making me do push-ups again!"

Seeing that the leader was very happy today, Bai Yuzhong chuckled, "No wonder I can't do push-ups as fast or as many as you do. There's a story behind it."

Hearing his joke, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, pointed at Bai Yuzhong, and scolded him with a smile: "You kid, you dare to tease me, are you itching for trouble?"

"I'm just curious, but I don't quite understand. Given your current position, who would dare punish you by making you do push-ups?"

After saying that, Bai Yuzhong looked at him with curiosity, and asked the right question to please him.

He knew his leader too well, and was also very clear about his boss's true background, so if the leader wanted to talk to someone, he would definitely take over.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man stood up with a smile and said, "What's so hard to understand about this? No matter what position I hold, I have to stand at attention when I see the old squad leader. You don't understand this comradeship."

"They say you'll regret being a soldier three times, but you'll regret not being one for the rest of your life. I really envy the friendship you have with your comrades. I also wanted to sign up for the army back then, but for some strange reason I didn't make it."

"That's because you don't understand military life well enough. As long as you join the army, you won't regret it. But if you don't, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Well, you're absolutely right. I regret it now. If I had been able to gain experience for a few years back then, I wouldn't be so young and have a physical fitness that's worse than yours!"

"That's right. Your health isn't as good as mine, someone who's almost an old man. Okay, I'm going to take a shower. You call Director Zhong and tell her we'll be there in half an hour."

"Okay, I'll contact him right away!" After saying that, Bai Yuzhong watched the middle-aged man leave, then took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, Director Zhong, my boss and I will leave in 20 minutes and arrive in the private room in half an hour. We'll be waiting for you and Mr. He there."

"Okay, Secretary Bai, I understand. Thank you!" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Director Zhong mentioned by the middle-aged man.

Normally, Director Zhong would not be so polite when facing ordinary leading cadres, even those at the department level.

But now he is very polite to Director Bai, which shows what kind of person the leader he is talking about, that is, the middle-aged man, is.

...............................

Half an hour later, in the backyard of Donghai Hotel, which was different from the modern decoration in front, it was a separate building.

In addition to pavilions, towers and small Hui-style gardens, there are also several quaint imitation Chinese-style houses and courtyards.

At this time, two middle-aged men had just met at the gate of one of the courtyards. One of them was Han Tao's uncle He Guoqiang, the current commander of Linjiang and member of the Linjiang military uniform committee.

"Old squad leader, it's been so many years and I finally see you." The middle-aged man who had just been playing basketball ran up to He Guoqiang and extended his hand politely.

Looking back at He Guoqiang, he not only shook his hand, but also gave him a big bear hug, "Slow down, you are so reckless at your age, don't fall."

"I'm just excited to see you, old squad leader. If you hadn't carried me out from the pile of dead bodies back then, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

When Lao Sha saw He Guoqiang hugging him, although he was a little surprised, it was reasonable, so he was very happy and felt that their feelings had not changed.

Secretary Bai, who was watching from the side, felt a little embarrassed and came to the rescue of the leader in time, saying jokingly:

"The comradeship between the two leaders is truly enviable; they are truly friends for life and death.

But I suggest that we go inside to reminisce about the past, otherwise it would be inappropriate to be seen by uninformed passersby, and it could easily lead to misunderstandings."

"Hahaha, Xiaobai is right. Old squad leader, it's inappropriate for two grown men like us to hug each other and be seen by others!"

"What's wrong with that? Hugging is popular among young people nowadays, and we should learn more from it.

But one thing is true, we can't be seen by anyone, because you, Team Leader Sha, have too many people watching you. If you're not careful, we'll be on the headlines."

He Guoqiang let go of Lao Sha, and the two of them walked inside chatting and laughing.

Bai Yuzhong, who was standing aside, looked at the two people talking cordially and muttered to himself that Mr. He still held a lot of weight in the boss's eyes.

You know, even ordinary provincial or vice-provincial figures have to be polite and respectful when meeting their leaders.

So there are not many people in the world who dare to hug their boss like this.

Entering the private room, Lao Sha pointed at Bai Yuzhong and introduced him, "This is my secretary, Bai Yuzhong. You can just call him Xiaobai, old squad leader."

He Guoqiang heard this and enthusiastically extended his hand, tightly shook the disciplinary committee member's hand and said:

"Hello, brother Xiaobai, they say a strong general has no weak soldiers. I can see that you are a cultured person, a writer, and a promising young man!"

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Thank you for the compliment, Chief. You can just call me Xiaobai."

Bai Yuzhong firmly followed the leader's ideas and had an extremely good impression of He Guoqiang. He quickly smiled and bowed.

"Haha, relax, it's not like you're in the military district and you're not called the chief. After get off work, just call him Big Brother like your boss."

Hearing what He Guoqiang said, Lao Sha laughed and said, "That won't do. Without rules, there will be no order.

"If you praise him like this, he'll be a rising star in the future! It'll be harder for me to lead this team. Young people need to be humble to go further."

"Yeah, I'll just call you leader. You're the old squad leader that our boss always respects when he mentions you, so I have to respect you even more."

"Okay, I won't embarrass you. You can call me whatever you like. We don't have so many rules here. Come, let's all sit down and try our local specialties."

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them walked towards the private room together. After sitting down, Bai Yuzhong took the initiative to take over the task of making tea.

He also used the tea he brought with him, and then personally brewed tea for He Guoqiang and his boss.

This is a very complex subject. As an "excellent" secretary, the skill of brewing and making tea is a compulsory course.

Of course, this is true not just for secretaries, but for most people within the system as well. And the higher the rank, the more sophisticated the tea-making technique must be.

He Guoqiang took a sip of tea and said happily, "Jinzi, we haven't sat together for a meal in a long time. We must drink something good later."

Lao Sha smiled and nodded, "Of course I will. I'll have a few drinks with you today. But don't drink too much, I still have to go see Uncle He."

“Knowing you were coming, the old man was very happy and wanted to invite you to his house for dinner, but I stopped him.

Mainly because we haven't been together for a long time and you wouldn't be able to relax at home, so I arranged for you to stay here."

"Come to think of it, I haven't eaten Aunt Wang's cooking for many years. Thinking back to that time..."

Lao Sha spoke of the past with emotion, and He Guoqiang also took the initiative to chat. The two talked about everything from all over the world, the glorious years, ancient and modern times, and they had a lot of fun chatting.

Chapter 727 School Examination

The city lights gradually light up under the night sky, and the gorgeous night view is like a painting. People who have finished a day's work stroll on the streets of the city, enjoying the joy of getting off work.

If you look at the brightly lit night scene and the endless stream of cars from a distance, you will feel the endless vitality and prosperity.

Han Tao was chatting with his uncle's secretary in the car at this time. To be more precise, Zheng Weimin was explaining some details to him.

During this period, Han Tao also received a message and finally knew who he was going to meet.

"I didn't expect this person to have such a relationship with my uncle. If I didn't have a God's perspective, who would have thought that he would become the helmsman over there in a year or two!"

After putting down his phone, Han Tao and his friends' car had not yet stopped when he saw a young woman in a black silk suit waiting at the hotel entrance.

Seeing that she was waiting in the parking lot, Han Tao and Zheng Weimin didn't waste any time and hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards her.

"Oh, how could we trouble our Director Zhong to wait for us? What a sin!"

As He Guoqiang's secretary, Zheng Weimin knew this person's background very well.

What's more, the two families are old friends, and he knows the temper of this young lady very well, so he can't neglect her.

The eldest daughter of the Zhong family was not unhappy at all, but said jokingly:

"Uncle Zheng, what are you talking about? Uncle He and I are family, it's so awkward for you to say that.

And you are Uncle He's most trusted person, and you are also our elder. Isn't it right for you to wait a little longer? So for your sake, you will have to drink three glasses of wine later."

"Haha, it was a slip of the tongue. I didn't manage to make the right transition between work and life. I really deserve the punishment!"

"Alright, alright, we're family and we shouldn't have different opinions. Let's go in. It would be a real sin to keep these two elders waiting for so long.

Uncle Zheng, please go ahead and help us. Sister Xiao Ai and I will go and see how the dishes are arranged."

Han Tao let Zheng Weimin go first with a smile on his face, while he and Miss Zhong were whispering in the back.

Some things cannot be said over the phone or in text messages, so they have to talk about them alone.

"Xiao Tao, let me briefly explain to you, this person..."

"Okay, I see. I've already guessed it. This is one of the reasons why I persuaded Teacher Gao..."

Han Tao said he understood. In fact, if you think about it from outside the circle, it is obvious that the people who went down recently were there to pave the way for this person to carry out his work.

As for everyone's belief that Teacher Gao should take over the responsibility, Han Tao said he really couldn't understand it, which was why he went to talk to Teacher Gao specifically.

In Han Tao's opinion, this recommendation was obviously a trap set by someone before leaving, and it was also a big round pie he drew.

Of course, this is also the cleverness of that person, because he gave a glimmer of hope, so the shrewd teacher Gao was blinded.

Miss Zhong was surprised that Han Tao was able to persuade Teacher Gao, and even more surprised that the higher-ups actually accepted his approach, so she asked quietly:

"How did you persuade Teacher Gao? As far as I know, Lao Zhao's current position is not low after all.

And that person also specifically recommended Teacher Gao, and many people also think that Teacher Gao can take over his class. A few days ago, your Monkey Brother called and talked about this matter. "

"Sister, you are testing me. Others can't see clearly, but how can you not understand it?

The person who recommended Teacher Gao is a trap, it's impossible.
