The sky was clear, the wind was gentle, and on the peaceful mountain village road, several cars roared past, heading towards an open space.
Hao Gaoguan and Jin Yueji were sitting in the car, looking at the passing scenery outside the window, and said with emotion: "This charity fund will bring the Hope Project to Ji Chun, which is really a great thing that benefits the people."
"Yes! It's okay in Jichun City, but in the outer rural areas, education is still not universal, especially in those particularly poor places, where there is not even a decent classroom." Jin Yueji said.
"It will be fine in the future. The charity foundation plans to build five Hope Primary Schools to completely solve the problem of children's schooling.
Knowledge changes destiny. Only when they learn knowledge can those children get ahead. Only when they get ahead can they give back to their hometown."
Jin Yueji smiled and said: "My great leader, you have been retired for so many years, so don't do ideological work anymore."
Senior official Hao also laughed.
Jin Yueji could tell that her husband was in a good mood, not only because of the charity foundation's charity, but also because he was invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting.
Since his retirement, my husband has been in a bad mood and has not recovered after so many years.
I heard my daughter say that this is called retirement syndrome. Anyway, it means that the gap between work and retirement has not changed.
This time, several leaders of Jichun personally came to invite her husband to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which reminded him of his original passion at work.
Jin Yueji saw her husband changing his speech for several nights, taking this matter very seriously.
The car drove slowly to an open space, which was the address of the school chosen by the charity foundation.
Now this area has not been fully developed. The ground has just been leveled and a simple platform has been temporarily built.
A dozen reporters were already at the scene, taking pictures with cameras everywhere. When they saw the car approaching, they all wanted to rush over and take pictures.
Several big men in black suits formed a human wall and blocked all reporters.
"Dear journalists, please abide by the order of the scene. We will give you photo time later." Peng Xinsheng stood in front of the human wall and said to all the reporters.
Only then did the dozen or so reporters cease their activities, put back their cameras, and slowly took a few steps back.
Shunfeng Group had already greeted major newspapers in Jichun and sent Peng Xinsheng to preside over the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Hao Gaoguan was helped down by two on-site staff and taken to the rest area, where he was also thoughtfully served some tea and snacks.
After Jin Yueji saw the location of the school, she was surprised: "Did the school choose such a large area this time?"
Peng Xinsheng smiled and said: "As the foundation's first charity project in Jichun, our president attaches great importance to it. He personally selected this address and took over the entire mountainous area to build the largest school to solve the problems of the eleven nearby villages.
School problems.”
Jin Yueji nodded and said: "Your president has donated many Hope Primary Schools across the country and donated teaching buildings to major universities. His various philanthropic deeds are admirable. I wonder if I can get to know him?"
Peng Xinsheng apologized: "I'm sorry, our president is busy with the ribbon-cutting ceremony and may not have time to come and entertain you two in person."
Jin Yueji said lowly: "That's really a pity."
"If you two need anything, you can tell me directly." Peng Xinsheng said politely.
Jin Yueji said: "Is my son-in-law Zhou Bingyi here?"
Mr. Peng said in surprise: "It turns out that Mr. Zhou is your son-in-law. He has arrived a long time ago and is discussing things with our president."
Senior official Hao raised his head and glanced at Peng Xinsheng.
Jin Yueji's face darkened, and then she said, "Can you call Zhou Bingyi for me?"
There was a hint of enthusiasm on Peng Xinsheng's face, and his tone of voice was much warmer.
"I'll go and notify Mr. Zhou immediately. You two will wait a moment. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."
Peng Xinsheng left in a huff.
Jin Yueji persuaded her husband: "Old Hao, please be more open-minded. Bingyi is now in his prime. He has climbed to this position and has a bright future. Maybe his position will not be lower than yours in the future. Let's not make it difficult for Dongmei."
Jin Yueji sat next to her husband and poured him a cup of hot tea.
The two waited for a long time but no one came. Even Jin Yueji gradually became impatient.
Half an hour later, Zhou Bingyi arrived belatedly.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I'm late. I have some work on hand and I haven't been able to get away."
Zhou Bingyi apologized as soon as he came up, leaving Jin Yueji with nothing else to say.
"It doesn't matter, work is important, and men should put their career first." Jin Yueji said with a smile.
"Bingyi, do you know the president of the charity foundation?" Jin Yueji asked, pushing up her glasses.
"We know each other! We are very familiar and have a good relationship." Zhou Bingyi said honestly.
Could it be that we are not familiar with her? She is my sister-in-law, and we were chatting about work together just now.
"I want to get to know this president, can you recommend him?" Jin Yueji asked.
Zhou Bingyi was a little confused: "She is busy with the ribbon-cutting right now, and she really can't get away. Otherwise, I will introduce you to her after the ribbon-cutting ceremony is over."
"Okay, then it's settled." Jin Yueji nodded happily.
At this time, a familiar voice came into the ears of the three of them.
"Old Hao, you are here too!"
Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen walked in.
"Lao Ma, are you also invited to cut the ribbon?" Hao Gaoguan saw his old friend and immediately smiled on his face.
"I heard that you had arrived, so I rushed over immediately." Ma Shouchang held hands with Senior Official Hao.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then sat down to chat.
"Bingyi, why are you still here? Juan'er is looking for you everywhere, saying that your immediate boss has arrived and wants you to say hello."
Zhou Bingyi was stunned and glanced at his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Go and get busy! We just have a chat with your Uncle Ma."
Zhou Bingyi apologized and left in embarrassment.
Ma Shouchang laughed and said: "Old Hao, you have hired a good son-in-law. Bingyi is a really good kid with a strong working ability. These two brothers are both good!"
Senior Officer Hao was stunned. It was not strange to praise his son-in-law. Why did he involve his brother again?
Jin Yueji asked directly: "Is Bingyi's brother also here today?"
Qu Xiuzhen asked strangely: "You don't know?"
Jin Yueji and her husband looked at each other and asked, "What do we want to know?"
Qu Xiuzhen said in confusion: "The Zheng Juan Charitable Foundation was founded by Bingyi's brother, and his brother's daughter-in-law is named Zheng Juan!"
Jin Yueji opened her mouth in surprise, and even Senior Official Hao was shocked.
It turns out that the president of the foundation they have been wanting to meet is actually the son-in-law's brother.
Thinking of what her son-in-law said just now, Jin Yueji realized something.
Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen realized something was wrong and did not dare to speak anymore.
Although they heard that the Hao family and the Zhou family didn't deal with each other, they didn't take it seriously at first. They were both sons and daughters, and they could still be considered a family if they didn't deal with them.
But the truth is more complicated than they imagined.
At this time, Peng Xinsheng came over and said to the four of them: "Mr. Ma, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin soon. The president asked me to inform you to come over."
"Oh, okay, we'll be there right away."
Ma Shouchang said to the two of them: "Old Hao, let's go!"
Jin Yueji was not in the mood to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at this time. She just wanted to call her son-in-law over to ask for details.
Ma Shouchang saw Jin Yueji sitting still and said, "Old Hao, a lot of people came to cut the ribbon this time. Jiang and Liao sent people to attend."
"Old Ma, let's go together."
The four of them came to the rostrum for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Peng Xinsheng said politely: "Mr. Ma, please come with me. Senior Official Hao will wait a moment."
Ma Shouchang and his wife were taken to the center of the rostrum by Peng Xinsheng, the absolute C position.
Hao Gaoguan and his wife were placed aside.
Jin Yueji wanted to leave.
A quarter of an hour later, Jin Yueji saw her son-in-law coming with a large group of people, including young and old.
When a group of people passed by the two of them, Zhou Bingyi stopped specifically and asked them puzzledly: "Mom and Dad, why are you standing here?"
Jin Yueji said: "We were arranged here by the organizer."
"Bingyi, are these two..." Zhou Zhigang next to Zhou Bingyi asked.
Zhou Bingyi slapped his forehead and said, "Dad, these are Dongmei's parents."
Zhou Zhigang shouted "Ah".
The Hao family and the Zhou family, the son-and-daughter family, met for the first time after more than twenty years. It was unexpectedly like this.
