On August 18, which is said to be an auspicious day, the beauty salon at No. 88 Tangjia South Street opened ahead of schedule.
Since beauty salon decoration materials are basically made of wallpaper, glass, etc., except for the complicated background of the rotating column, the other construction is relatively fast. In addition, Shen Wansan really did his best to serve Tang Yin, so the beauty salon The renovation of the hospital was completed very quickly.
After the decoration was initially completed, Tang Yin worked as a small consultant again. He went to the handicraft market on the outskirts of the city with his mother to buy some stylish but cheap and high-quality handicraft wall hangings, which he hung on the wall of the beauty salon, instantly making the beauty salon look more attractive. taste.
Among all the interior decorations, the most luxurious decorations are the bathroom, bed curtains and lighting fixtures. The total price of these is more than fifteen thousand yuan. When Tang's mother learned the news, I feel so distressed that I blame Tang Yin for losing his family.
But later, when all the customers praised the beauty salon's bathroom for being so good, which even affected everyone's insistence on receiving services at No. 88 for countless years, Tang's mother started praising her son for his discernment.
On the opening day, Tang's father and Tang's mother invited their family members to dine at Dongyuan Hotel. This was the first time that Tang Yin's family invited relatives and friends to dine at such a high-end place.
There was no one else at the banquet, only the Tang family. The third uncle, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared at the banquet.
The third uncle, Tang Kangxing, was originally a general clerk in the Cangshan City Real Estate Bureau. During the construction of Shenzhen City, he was transferred to the Shenzhen City Real Estate Bureau, but soon after, he resigned and went to work in real estate.
Although he is a small shareholder who works behind the boss's back, because he was a member of the Shenzhen Real Estate Bureau, it is still very convenient for him to do things and he gets a lot of rewards. Now he belongs to a petty bourgeoisie family and his life is very comfortable.
Tang Kangxing did not like the eldest brother Tang Kangqi or the second child Tang Kangming very much. After all, economically speaking, he was the richest in the family.
But the only regret was that his wife was infertile and finally adopted a son, but because of his strict discipline, she suddenly became very depressed.
In fact, Tang Yin knew that the third uncle's somewhat melancholy son was his biological son, just his illegitimate son. This matter had always been a secret and no one had ever revealed it.
Tang Kangxing's wife is the sister of his big boss. Therefore, even if his third aunt is infertile, Tang Kangxing does not dare to divorce her. But he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As early as when he learned that his wife was infertile, he secretly found a mistress. The most exaggerated thing is that this woman actually lives in the same building as the third uncle's family.
The third uncle's illegitimate son was named Tang Weijie, who was two years younger than Tang Yin. He was still very smart and lively when he was a child. However, the third uncle kept asking Tang Weijie for Tang Mengru's excellence. As a result, as time went by, Tang Weijie became melancholy until he became completely autistic. He had to go to a mental hospital for treatment.
At this time, Tang Weijie's condition was not bad, and it was not completely hopeless. Although his third uncle Tang Kangxing was snobbish and had no affection for everyone, Tang Yin did not want to see Tang Weijie become completely demented.
This time Tang Yin did well in the high school entrance examination, Tang's mother opened a shop again, and Tang's father even became secretary of the township party committee. This made the originally snobbish third uncle have to rush from Shenzhen City to Cangshan City to attend the event after receiving the news. This little gathering at Tang Yin’s house.
Of course, he did not bring his family with him, but came alone. The development of Tang Yin's family did not allow him to pay enough attention to the development of his family.
Adhering to her usual diligent and frugal personality, Tang Yin's mother did not entertain guests in the private room, but set up a table in the main hall. The main hall was very large, so in order not to appear obtrusive, Tang Yin and his family chose the private room in the far corner.
Eat at the table next to you.
But in this way, the sound in the box next door will inevitably affect everyone's mood.
During the meal, the first topic everyone talked about was Tang Yin's high school entrance examination and admission issues.
In a few days, City No. 1 Middle School will report for military training in advance, but Tang Yin has not received a notice yet, which is really frustrating for everyone.
During the dinner, the eldest aunt suggested that her husband, the eldest uncle, should find a relationship and go to No. 1 Middle School to find out where the problem lies and then find ways to move around, but Tang's father refused.
Tang's father knew his eldest brother's personality very well. This kind of behavior of asking for help was something he disliked the most. What's more, Secretary Song asked him to wait and see what happened.
The Tang family members all ate their meals in a melancholy manner, and the atmosphere was not lively because today was the opening of Tang's mother's shop.
"Director Lin, you little girl is a standard beauty. You are only a freshman in high school, and you are already so beautiful. You also scored a high score of 633 points. How about you? With such talent and appearance, there must be many people pursuing you.
Right?" A frivolous voice came faintly from the box.
The uncle frowned deeply after hearing this. This person was none other than his immediate boss, President Qiu, who was also the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Cangshan City.
"Not at all. At this stage, I focus on studying and don't consider anything else." A clear girl's voice responded.
"Well, that's true. I just see that your Jingqi looks so standard, so I would like to take care of you, Director Lin." The frivolous voice continued.
"I'm relatively reassured in this regard. Our Jingqi is a very sensible girl and can handle this kind of thing very well." Another man said.
The man who was talking was also familiar to the Tang family. Lin Zhiyuan, the director of the daily chemical factory, and the pretty little girl that President Qiu mentioned was, of course, Director Lin's daughter Lin Jingqi.
Today Lin Zhiyuan was going to celebrate for Lin Jingqi, but on the way, he ran into President Qiu and his party.
Lin Zhiyuan immediately left the table and took Lin Jingqi alone to accompany President Qiu and his party. In fact, the purpose of his visit was not to eat, but to pay the bill.
He was able to integrate into Mayor Gao's small circle because of President Qiu. Therefore, how could he dare to be careless when meeting President Qiu?
"That's good. This kid Jingqi looks like a lady at first glance. Director Lin, you are very lucky." President Qiu sighed with envy.
"President Qiu, you also know my character, Mr. Qiu. Let's eat in the lobby outside. I'll forgive Mr. Ye for not accompanying me in the private room." While President Qiu and Lin Zhiyuan were talking, there was a mouthful.
Said the rich baritone voice of an authentic Beijing movie.
"Ah, Editor-in-Chief Ye, you still have the same old style. Hahaha... Okay, since the leader has given the order, we have to obey. Everyone, eat outside, eat outside." President Qiu's flattering voice came out of the box.
"President Qiu, please call me Lao Ye when you have a private party. Besides, my position is a deputy position, not a full-time position." The baritone from the Beijing film company corrected seriously.
"Yes, yes it was my slip of the tongue. Hahaha..." President Qiu was obviously a little afraid of the man named Ye.
Lin Zhiyuan was very curious about the identity of this person named Ye. President Qiu seemed to be very accommodating to this person, and even called him the editor-in-chief. According to Lin Zhiyuan's idea, the answer was obvious. This person was most likely a big shot from the imperial capital.
In a flurry of humility, the group of people filed out and took their seats outside the hall. As for the seats, of course Editor Ye was sitting at the top. Even the other seat next to the top was occupied by President Qiu.
Being willing to sit on it further confirmed Lin Zhiyuan's thoughts.
After everyone sat down, they were surprised to find that there were acquaintances dining in the hall.
"Hey, isn't this Secretary Tang's family? What a coincidence. Why, they're here for dinner too." Lin Zhiyuan first spotted the Tang family and greeted them with a strong artificiality.
"Oh?... It's Editor-in-Chief Tang. What a coincidence." President Qiu also discovered Tang Kangqi.
Lin Jingqi looked at Tang Yin in surprise, but she quickly reacted and smiled sweetly at Tang Yin, with an indescribable tenderness and cuteness in her expression.
Now, the people at the two tables are familiar with each other, so naturally they can't help but say some polite words.
It was impossible for Lin Zhiyuan to miss this perfect opportunity to add insult to injury: "The registration for the No. 1 Middle School in the city has ended. Has your Tang Yin been notified?"
"Haha... not yet. There may be something wrong at the school. The admissions office asked us to wait for news. There should be news soon." Father Tang forced a smile.
"I think this young man is Tang Yin, editor-in-chief Tang's nephew. Is he also taking the high school entrance examination? Why haven't you received a notification from the school yet? It's a bit late. What's going on? Isn't your performance good?"
President Qiu acted like a deputy elder caring for the younger generation.
In fact, he knew very well that Tang Yin was deliberately stuck by Mayor Gao, and City No. 1 Middle School should never think about it. But he pretended to be ignorant and deliberately twisted it.
Tang Kangqi was a thorn in his side in the unit and always opposed him. Therefore, President Qiu had been trying to find ways to evade Tang Kangqi's power. However, Tang Kangqi was too young to completely remove the title of editor-in-chief, so he secretly worked to prepare to completely remove Tang Kangqi.
Get rid of it.
At this time, when he saw Lin Zhiyuan using the topic of Tang Yin to attack the Tang family, he deliberately pretended to be crazy and ignorant, adding fuel to the fire.
"The score seems to be enough, but I don't know where the problem lies." Tang's father still answered truthfully. After all, President Qiu is his uncle Tang Kangqi's immediate boss, and Tang Kangming cannot be too neglectful.
"Your Tang Yin's score must be wrong. His usual grades are very average. How could he get a super high score of 678 points all of a sudden? I suggest you contact Xiangyang Middle School as soon as possible. Don't get it to the end. Even Xiangyang Middle School
I won’t accept it anymore.” Lin Zhiyuan persuaded with all his heart.
But every word he said struck a chord, and every word was bloody. The underlying meaning was very clear. Your Tang Yin's usual grades are a mess, how could you suddenly get such high scores? It's either cheating or a problem with the points distribution system. You should wake up and go to an ordinary school.
Come on, that's where you should go.
Even President Qiu and the other smart-minded guests at the same table nodded in agreement.
"You, you are Tang Yin, Tang Yin with admission ticket number)) 152?" The middle-aged man who had been silent and wearing deep-set eyes suddenly stood up excitedly, walked quickly to Tang Yin, and asked eagerly
Tang Yin. Listening to the voice, it turned out to be the man whom President Qiu called Editor-in-Chief Ye in the box just now.
