In the Zhuangyuan Pavilion of Dongyuan Hotel, the hearty laughter of men and the reserved laughter of women could be heard from time to time. The Zhuangyuan Pavilion on this day was a testimony to the joyful mood of the Tang family.
Tang Yin, the eldest son of the Tang family, actually got outstanding results in the high school entrance examination, even better than his cousin Tang Mengru's high school entrance examination. To the Tang family, this was like a poor man winning the lottery, so poor that only surprises remained.
With such a good thing, it is understandable that everyone was in an excited mood. But no matter what the environment was, there would always be a fly. An exaggerated voice sounded, causing the laughter in the box to stop abruptly.
Everyone looked up and found that it was Lin Zhiyuan, an old acquaintance.
Lin Zhiyuan has been very depressed recently. The city has set up a special task force to investigate the daily chemical factory. Although he has never embezzled public funds, there are some violations and he still does a lot of things involving power for personal gain.
Although he did not take the lead in organizing the strike, it received his strong support.
Had he known that this would be the outcome, he would never have approved of this strike. But the problem is, there is no turning back when the bow is fired, and now it is impossible to turn back.
During the strike, Master Sun suddenly set himself on fire. This was a situation that he never expected.
Although the results of the city's investigation have not yet come out, Lin Zhiyuan has an ominous feeling that someone has taken advantage of him in this strike.
What depressed him the most was that Tang Kangming, the deputy director of the factory who had always been against him, emerged from this incident and was promoted to the party secretary of Houshan Township. This is a state cadre.
The last time he met Tang Kangming in Zhuangyuan Pavilion, he still had a sense of superiority. Now that he unexpectedly met Tang Kangming again in Zhuangyuan Pavilion, recalling the situation at that time, he became a joke.
But he was unwilling to leave and find another private room, so he rolled his eyes and immediately found the best target to attack - Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was recognized as a poor student, and his grades were abysmal. But coincidentally, his precious daughter Lin Jingqi performed well this time, and scored a high score of 633 points in the high school entrance examination.
Although I dare not say that I am definitely choosing the No. 1 Middle School in the city, it is still appropriate to choose a school in the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
"It's Factory Director Lin. What a coincidence. You're here for dinner too?" Although Tang's father had a dispute with Lin Zhiyuan, it was a work matter and there was no personal grudge. Now he has left the daily chemical factory.
Of course you can't ignore them.
"Yeah, it's a coincidence. My Jingqi did well in the high school entrance examination this time. No, everyone wants to come here to have some fun." Lin Zhiyuan's nemesis Tang Kangming stood up to say hello politely, and was too embarrassed to continue.
Exploded.
But from the beginning to the end, he did not let go of his mentality of showing off, and could not help but bring the topic to the high school entrance examination. His daughter did well in the examination, and if he did not use this to suppress Tang Kangming, he would not feel comfortable.
"How about it? Your Tang Yin is very smart. He should have done well in the exam, right?"
When Tang's father saw that Lin Zhiyuan had no intention of condescending to sit down, he laughed: "Haha... not bad." He took the opportunity and sat down.
There were about seven or eight people who came with Lin Zhiyuan over there, including men, women, old and young. They were probably relatives of the Lin family, such as the seven aunts and eight aunts. While Lin Zhiyuan stood talking to Father Tang, everyone had left.
Went to the inner room.
And classmate Lin Jingqi is also on the list, maybe because of her good performance this time. Her little chin is held high, she is wearing a princess dress, and she is as cute as an enamel doll.
Seeing that her father did not allow her to greet the Tang family, she followed everyone towards the inner room. As she walked, she couldn't help but look up at Tang Yin, who looked very ordinary sitting at the table, and thought to herself: "He will take the exam."
Where should I go, Xiangyang Middle School, or a worse high school?"
But when she heard Father Tang's answer that it was not bad, she couldn't help but stop. She was very curious, what kind of good idea did Father Tang say that this was not bad?
Sure enough, as if her father Lin Zhiyuan knew what she was thinking, he asked Lin Jingqi's question: "Oh, that's great. How many points did you get on the test? Is there a score of 500?"
"Well, it's a little higher than this score. Oh, by the way, what score did your Lin Jingqi score?"
"Our Jingqi, she got 633 points in the exam. She can barely get into the No. 1 Middle School. Your Tang Yin is not bad either. He has over 500 points. Is he 550 points?" Lin Zhiyuan's tone was still full of wisdom.
Dese.
"Haha... It needs to be higher." Tang's father chuckled and replied. He was neither very happy nor very disappointed. There was an indescribable indifference in his expression.
Lin Jingqi was shocked when she heard this: Didn't it mean that Tang Yin had never scored more than 500 points in the exam? Why did he score more than 550? Is he performing beyond the ordinary?
Lin Zhiyuan is also angry. He was originally planning to use his daughter's grades to beat Tang Yin. You laughed at me about the strike, but now it's my turn to laugh at you.
But I never thought that Tang's father, who has always been very straightforward, would actually know how to titillate people. Damn it, when did you change your gender? Could it be that you would get pregnant if you directly tell the score?
"Isn't it over 650 points?" Lin Zhiyuan thought to himself: But you forced me, so don't blame me for this embarrassing moment.
This time Tang's father didn't say anything, but Tang Mengru was unhappy: What's the matter, Lin Jingqi got high marks in the exam and came to our house to do well in front of Tang Yin?
"Hehe...Uncle Lin is very concerned about our Tang Yin's high school entrance examination score. As you said, Tang Yin's high school entrance examination score is higher than 650 points."
Well, Tang Mengru also played Tang Father's tricks, but her starting point was different from Tang Father's. Is this called playing hard to get and pretending?
Lin Zhiyuan's unconcealed showoff made Tang Mengru very unhappy.
"What, higher than 650 points?" Lin Zhiyuan couldn't stand it: Damn, it's true or not, Tang Yin can score more than 650 points, who believes it? The Tang family is so bragging!
Lin Jingqi's originally high chin dropped uncontrollably, her mouth opened and closed in astonishment, and her eyes were filled with surprise: How could such a high score be possible?
Just at this moment, a tall and thin man pushed open the door and walked in, shouting from afar: "Secretary Tang, Editor-in-Chief Tang, you are hosting a celebration banquet for Tang Yin, why don't you ask me to join in the fun?
"Classmate Tang Yin has developed all-round morally, intellectually, physically, artistically and physically. He scored a super high score of 678 in the high school entrance examination this time. It is really gratifying and congratulatory.
"If I hadn't discovered that classmate Tang Yin entered this private room just now, I, Huang, would have missed this excitement.
"Although Secretary Tang didn't invite me, Mr. Huang still had the nerve to come and ask for a drink."
The person who came was none other than Director Huang of the Education Bureau. He heard from his driver that when he saw Tang Yin entering the Zhuangyuan Pavilion box, he was probably here for a family celebration.
The driver was a well-rounded person. Director Huang was very concerned about Tang Yin's family. Of course he had to do what he wanted and tell Director Huang, who was also dining at the Dongyuan Hotel, this important news.
When Director Huang heard this, he immediately abandoned the people at the table and walked to Zhuangyuan Pavilion alone with a wine glass. The people at the table were dumbfounded. The people at the table were basically division-level cadres, and they all asked Huang to discuss their children's issues.
The director helped.
But no matter what, what kind of big shot is this person who can make Director Huang deign to condescend and toast? These people are really excited.
In fact, Director Huang had already arrived outside the door when Lin Zhiyuan asked Tang's father if Tang Yin had scored 550 points in the test. However, he thought it was a little abrupt at the time, so he stood outside the door and did not go in.
Finally, he chose this extremely delicate time to enter the box, just to make his appearance more shining: "Ah, isn't this Director Lin? Don't you know that classmate Tang Yin ranked first in the city in the English test?" he said.
After that, he turned around and never looked at Lin Zhiyuan again.
This is what Director Huang wants to express when he chooses to come in at this time. Do you dare to believe what his dignified Education Director said? Director Huang's slap in the face is just right.
Father Tang stood up in a hurry and invited Director Huang to take the seat. Although Father Tang was an upright person, it did not mean that he would not get into trouble. The director of education, who was in charge of his duties, came to toast him. If he sat still, it would be too much.
No expression left.
How could Director Huang be willing to sit at the table? He came here just to express his "sincerity". Holding a glass of wine, he refused to sit down. He went to the side and took a chair, forcing his way into Tang Yin and Tang Mengru's room.
beside.
"I'm sitting next to classmate Tang Yin, soaking up his spiritual energy. This is an amazing young genius!"
"Director Huang... Chief..." Lin Zhiyuan only said the first two words, and could not continue. Director Huang didn't take him seriously at all. After he finished speaking, he left himself and was busy.
I went to communicate with the Tang family.
At this time, Lin Zhiyuan could neither leave nor stay. He finally knew Tang Yin's results as he wished, but knowing was worse than not knowing. Only then did he truly realize how kind Tang Kangming was.
Tang Kangming was always modest and refused to tell Tang Yin's true achievements. That was because he spoke too high-profile at that time, and Tang Kangming wanted to take care of his own face.
But he just didn't accept the favor and kept asking for more details. Wasn't he asking for trouble? At this moment, Lin Zhiyuan finally saw clearly that Tang's father was indeed a kind man. Unfortunately, he discovered it too late.
But the appearance of Director Huang was just the beginning. Later, a large group of division-level cadres from Cangshan City arrived. They were usually high-minded people, but they came to the Tang family to offer a toast. Lin Zhiyuan was completely confused.
.
This group of people are all department-level cadres who asked Director Huang for help. There are directors and deputy directors of each bureau, or even sub-directors. Even Lin Zhiyuan's immediate boss, the director of the Chemical Industry Bureau, is among them.
After Director Huang left just now, everyone asked Director Huang’s driver about the situation. As a result, everyone cheered and came. This was to save Director Huang’s face.
Director Huang really feels that he has a lot of face now, and everyone is on the right track, so let’s consider taking care of these little things for them!
In the end, Lin Zhiyuan walked into the box inside without saying hello to anyone.
Lin Jingqi had never seen her father so depressed, and what surprised her even more was that her father actually said to her: "Well, Jingqi, when you get to No. 1 Middle School, you must have a good relationship with classmate Tang Yin."
