Chapter 128 Couple’s Night Chat
In front of Zhao Ye, Zhou Bingkun had nothing to hide, so he immediately started talking about how Hao Dongmei helped Cai Xiaoguang go to college, and how the Hao family released their pigeons during the Chinese New Year.
Finally, he complained angrily: "Brother Xiaoye, what kind of in-laws do we think this is?"
Zhao Ye also looked down upon the behavior of Hao Dongmei's parents, but he couldn't comment too much on it, so he had to change his words:
"As the old saying goes, it's hard for an upright official to deal with household chores. Don't ask me about this. Just keep an eye on it yourself. Let's continue talking about your establishment. How long have you been with Jin Land Publishing House?"
"I joined the job on April 28th, and it will be exactly half a year by the end of this month."
"Half a year, that's about it." Zhao Ye pondered for a long time and told Zhou Bingkun: "In this way, you ask Shao Jingwen to write another recommendation letter to the publishing house, mentioning your contribution in it, and there is no need to do anything else.
Leave the rest to me."
Zhou Bingkun was not Zhao Ye whom he had met on the first day. When he heard this, he immediately knew that what he had compiled was inseparable, and he immediately expressed his gratitude with a smile.
"Okay, let's wait until the matter is settled."
With that said, Zhao Ye looked at his watch and asked Zhou Bingkun: "It's so late, do you want me to give you a ride?"
Zhou Bingkun pointed in the direction of the counter and replied with a grimace: "Today's accounts haven't been settled yet. I'll go back by myself later on my bicycle."
"That's it, I'm leaving first. If you need anything, call me!"
Zhou Bingkun personally sent Zhao Ye back. As soon as he entered the door, Shao Jingwen stepped forward nervously and asked: "How is it? What did Dr. Zhao say?"
Zhou Bingkun smiled and repeated Zhao Ye's words. After hearing this, Shao Jingwen patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I will write the recommendation letter tonight and I will hand it to the president personally tomorrow morning."
On the other side, Zhao Ye drove back home and was inevitably complained by Gao Xiaoqin. He explained a few words casually, and after asking his son, he suddenly suggested: "The day after tomorrow is Sunday, let's go to my parents' place for dinner?"
After all, Gao Xiaoqin had been working in the government for a few years. When she heard this, she knew that something was wrong with her husband. She couldn't help frowning and asked: "Dad, you have just been promoted, and someone is looking for you to do something?"
Zhao Ye took off his coat, lay down next to Gao Xiaoqin, told Zhang Tianke's story, and finally sighed: "I can't help it, I can't owe you any favors. It was Zhang Tianke who helped Han Jianguo's daughter-in-law when she was working. This time, I asked for help."
When it comes to my head, I really can’t shirk it.”
Gao Xiaoqin, who was covering Zhao Ye with a quilt, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the matter was not serious: "Fortunately, you only agreed to help him ask, otherwise Dad would definitely be angry."
Zhao Ye noticed that there was something wrong with these words, so he couldn't help but turned around and asked: "Why, is there any obstacle inside?"
"When I went to pick up Xiaobao a few days ago, I overheard my father calling someone else. It seemed that Liu Guangxiong, the deputy director of the linen factory, and several workshop directors had a problem."
Zhao Ye understood immediately, and then said with a headache: "Then how should I reply to Zhang Tianke? I can't tell the truth, right?"
Gao Xiaoqin gave him an idea and said: "Just tell him that the city is currently short of finances and the funds promised to the flax factory will have to wait a while."
Zhao Ye's eyes lit up, he leaned over and kissed Gao Xiaoqin hard on the face, and praised: "No wonder everyone says that having a good wife in the family is like having a treasure!"
"What nonsense? Pretend I haven't heard of it. It's obvious that there is an old man in the family, just like a treasure!"
Zhao Ye sophistry: "The meaning is the same anyway, why should we care about this?"
While speaking, he did not forget to extend his Lushan claw, but Gao Xiaoqin slapped his hand away and prevented his next move.
"Wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Why can't we talk about it tomorrow? We have to choose this time?" Zhao Ye complained, but in the end he stopped and waited for Gao Xiaoqin's next words.
"That's what happened. The organization came to talk to me today. It may put an extra burden on me. I want to hear your opinion first."
Zhao Ye thought about it for a while and expressed his thoughts: "I think the current situation is pretty good. Your job in the Bureau of Culture and Education is both easy and decent. There is no need to work further."
Gao Xiaoqin said somewhat unhappily: "What does it mean to be in the camp? Such good words will taste bad when they come into your mouth."
"Okay, even if I said something wrong, it's not rough, right?"
"I think you are just using strong words to make excuses. Can't I pursue something a little bit and do something practical for the people?"
"Aren't I afraid that you will be tired? And I heard rumors that the higher-ups may have to issue a policy that relatives of officials cannot do business in their jurisdiction."
"How come I haven't heard of it?" Gao Xiaoqin was stunned at first, and then became concerned about another question: "Do you plan to do business in Jichun in the future?"
Zhao Ye replied honestly: "I have this plan, but it should be a few years later."
Gao Xiaoqin was silent for a moment, then said in embarrassment: "I don't have any problem. In the worst case, I will sit in Qingshui Yamen in the future, but what will happen to Dad? Who will convince him?"
Zhao Ye said without hesitation: "Since I brought it up, I will naturally say it."
"Okay, then I will report to my superiors tomorrow and say that I have let down the organization's years of cultivation."
"Well, in order to thank my wife for your hard work, I will do my best tonight until I die!"
"Fuck you, are you shameless?"
…………
To the surprise of Zhao Ye and his wife, after listening to their ideas, Gao Yuan only thought about it for a moment and agreed, and also promised to use his connections to transfer Gao Xiaoqin to a casual position.
Seeing that her father was so reasonable, Gao Xiaoqin was puzzled and said, "Dad, don't you feel disappointed?"
Gao Yuan said, "You girl, why should I be disappointed? Just talk about your sister, when she wanted to go with Wang Hongbin to support the frontier, didn't I still not stop her?
Moreover, Dad and Ono have the same idea, and they don’t want you to be exhausted due to work and neglect your family. This is my advice as a person who has experienced it, as well as some selfish thoughts as a father."
Gao Xiaoqin was so moved that she burst into tears on the spot. When Zhao Ye saw this, he quickly comforted her with words: "Look at you, you are still crying at how old you are, and you are not afraid that your son will come in and laugh at you!"
"If he dares to laugh at his mother, I'll beat him up!"
"Dad, please testify. This is what Xiaoqin said personally. I will go to mom's place to pick up my son right away!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin became anxious and quickly grabbed Zhao Ye, who was about to leave, and said with a loud voice: "Oh, you are so annoying, I don't even bother to talk to you!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Gao Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "Okay, okay! If nothing happens, you can go back to your home to make trouble. I still have some documents to read."
Seeing that his father-in-law was about to drive people away, Zhao Ye hurriedly revealed another purpose of his trip: "Dad, I have one more thing to trouble you about."
Without waiting for her father to reply, Gao Xiaoqin asked: "We haven't already agreed on Zhang Tianke's affairs, what else should we tell dad?"
"It has nothing to do with Zhang Tianke, it's another small matter..."
Gao Yuan, who was listening to the conversation between the two, interrupted his son-in-law: "Wait a minute, why is it about Zhang Tianke again? Are you talking about Zhang Tianke from the linen factory?"
Zhao Ye glared at Gao Xiaoqin and had no choice but to truthfully explain the interactions between him and Zhang Tianke to his father-in-law.
Gao Yuan did not comment on this, and gave a similar statement to Gao Xiaoqin, telling Zhao Ye to just prevaricate at will and not to get involved too much.
Zhao Ye agreed wholeheartedly, and then mentioned Zhou Bingkun's matter again.
Gao Yuan was extremely speechless after hearing this: "Why do you always care about trivial things every day?"
Zhao Ye laughed dryly and explained shamelessly: "That person is my neighbor's child. He has followed me since he was a child. He begged me for this, so I thought..."
"Okay, I will tell Secretary Wang and I won't do it again!"
Coming out of his father-in-law's study, Gao Xiaoqin immediately dragged Zhao Ye to a corner and asked with an unhappy face: "Is the Zhou Bingkun you are talking about Zhou Rong's younger brother?"
How could Zhao Ye not know what his wife was thinking and immediately pretend to be surprised and ask: "He is right, what's the problem?"
"If you have any problems, tell me honestly. Is it Zhou Rong who asked you to do this?"
"Don't always be suspicious. Zhou Bingkun is Zhou Rong's brother, but he is also my neighbor. If you still don't believe it, you can call Li Weimin. He saw it with his own eyes."
"Really?" Gao Xiaoqin stared at her husband suspiciously. After seeing his calm face, she suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just kidding you, go to the kitchen and help mom, I'm going to be hungry!"
