Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After hearing what Yu Fangfang said, Cao Zhiqiang just pondered for a moment before deciding to tell the other party his intention.

The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang's apparent purpose of coming this time is indeed not something shameful, and there is no harm in saying it.

And Yu Fangfang is right, having her help to say good things can indeed increase the success rate.

So, Cao Zhiqiang told Fangfang his purpose of coming.

"That's just the way it is."

Cao Zhiqiang, who explained the purpose of his visit, finally concluded: "Sister Fangfang, you also know that my magazine was founded not long ago and is not well-known. For a small temple like this, it is extremely difficult to find a college student to come to it.

.

Nowadays, it is rare for two college students to take the initiative to work for me, so of course I would be happy to do so.

But as for the allocation of college students, I don’t know whether you know it or not. Now the relevant government departments issue allocation plans to colleges and universities, and then the schools allocate them uniformly.

Of course, schools also have certain autonomy in the actual allocation process.

But no matter what, the internship and graduation assignments of college students are decided by the organization and not by the college students themselves.

Even if those two college students are interested in coming to work in my unit, if I don't find someone to help, there will definitely be no chance.

Therefore, I thought, isn't your father the district mayor's secretary? Maybe he can help me by saying hello to the relevant personnel at Beijing Normal University and asking them to help transfer the two college students who are interested in working in my unit.

Internship in my unit.

Don't underestimate internships. Once they come to my unit for internship, after they graduate, I can use this to contact the school and let them continue to work in our unit after graduation.

In this way, my publishing house will have two more college students.

Nowadays, college students are a hot commodity. If our publishing house can have two more college students, it will definitely make it more attractive.

Moreover, those two college students are indeed very talented and are very suitable for our unit.

I just cherish talents too much, so I had no choice but to come here and ask the secretary for help."

"Oh, that's right." Yu Fangfang nodded.

"Zhiqiang, your matter sounds a bit big, and I don't understand it... But don't worry, since it's your business, when my dad comes back, I will put in a nice word for you and let him do his best.

help you."

"Thank you very much, Sister Fangfang." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"I'm one of you, why are you so polite?" Yu Fangfang smiled.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Fangfang asked with a smile: "By the way, I heard that your partner went back to take the exam. Is he back now? If he is back, can you let me meet Yuanyuan?"

"Forehead……"

Just as Cao Zhiqiang was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Cao Zhiqiang turned his head and saw Yu Deshui and his wife walking in hand in hand.

Yu Deshui was still dressed in a simple Chinese tunic suit, with a briefcase in his hand, looking like a classic government cadre.

His wife, Yao Guiying, also wore a simple shirt and trousers, a classic grassroots female cadre look.

Also, Yao Guiying is a female cadre of a state-owned vegetable market, so her appearance is perfectly normal.

"Dad? Mom?"

Seeing her parents entering the door, Yu Fangfang immediately stood up with a smile, and then took the initiative to introduce Cao Zhiqiang, who stood up almost at the same time.

"Look who's here?"

"Hey, you, isn't this Xiao Cao!" Yao Guiying was the first to smile, "What a distinguished guest!"

"Yes, you are really an honored guest." Yu Deshui also smiled and nodded, then glanced at the pile of gifts on the coffee table and frowned slightly, "Look, you came right away, why did you bring something with you when you go back?

Remember to take it with you."

Before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Yao Guiying glared at Yu Deshui: "What are you talking about? Even if others are not concerned, can Xiao Cao be considered an outsider?"

"Yes, yes!" Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly climbed up the pole, "Uncle and aunt, these are just trivial gifts and not respectful.

Don’t worry, if anyone asks, you can generously say that I sent it, and then ask them to find me, and I guarantee there will be no problem.

The money I earn is all pure and innocent.

My gift is naturally clean.

Therefore, if I am upright and am not afraid of slanted shadows, I naturally am not afraid of others checking me.

In the same way, the gifts I give are absolutely upright and I am not afraid of others knowing.

You are all my family members, what does it mean if I give them some small gifts?"

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Sister Yuanyuan is my god-sister, and you two are also my elders. These are also my family members. What's the problem if I give some small gifts to my family members?"

"small gift?"

Yu Deshui, who had already walked to the coffee table, frowned and looked at those things, then shook his head:

"Moutai, red pandas, and imported candies, these are no small gifts for you.

Even our district chief may not have the things you gave us at his home, so why do you still call them small gifts?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly.

Indeed, in later generations, it would be easy for a district chief in the capital to get a bottle of Moutai, but in 1983, it was really difficult.

The main reason is that Maotai was too scarce during this period, and ordinary people couldn't get the quota at all.

Although the level of the mayor of Beijing District is not too low, for things like Maotai, normally they cannot get the quota.

Of course, just because they can't buy it privately doesn't mean they can't drink it.

It is normal for some high-end wine shops to open a Maotai store, but it is at public expense and is different from a private collection.

"No, it's too valuable. You can take it back." Yu Deshui immediately shook his head.

"Uncle Yu, don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "This tobacco and wine are really a piece of cake for me.

After all, my situation is different from yours. I am not short of money and have many friends, even foreign friends. It is normal for them to give me this.

I don’t smoke or drink, so there’s no use keeping it, so it’s best to give it to those who need it.

What's more, this time I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I just want to ask my uncle for something, so it's very appropriate to give him some gifts."

"Yes, Dad!" Yu Fangfang said quickly, "Zhiqiang is not an outsider, he is my and Yuanyuan's godbrother, which means he is roughly your godson.

These things seem very scarce to us, but to Zhiqiang, they are commonplace things.

Don't forget, Zhiqiang is the president of a publishing house, and he usually lives in the executive room of the Peking Hotel.

You know the Peking Hotel, the foreign hotel, do you know how much that guy earns per day? It’s higher than your monthly salary.

Your monthly salary is not as good as Zhiqiang’s one-day accommodation fee. How can this be compared?

So, Dad, if someone else gives you this gift, it is a heavy gift. I don’t have any objection if you don’t accept it.

But this gift from Zhiqiang is a daily welcome gift. If you don't accept it, you won't give him face."

Speaking of this, Yu Fangfang also looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "Isn't that right, Zhiqiang?"

"Yes, yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded quickly, "They are just trivial things, not respectful."

Then, Cao Zhiqiang blinked again: "Compared to other things I brought, the Maotai red panda is really not worth mentioning."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang also deliberately winked at a purple sand pottery tea can and a mooncake paper box respectively.

Yu Deshui is a cautious old man, and he knew immediately that there was something fishy going on.

However, he did not directly ask what it was, but smiled slightly: "Oh, we will talk about these later. If Xiao Cao comes over rarely, let's have a casual meal before leaving."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you."

Yu Deshui turned to Yao Guiying and said, "Go and prepare some food. I want to have a good drink with Xiao Cao today."

"Okay." Yao Guiying said, "But it's rare for Xiao Cao to come here, and my craftsmanship cannot be showcased. How about going to the restaurant and asking for a table to be delivered?"

"Okay!" Yu Deshui nodded.

Yao Guiying then put down the vegetable basket with a smile, then walked to the phone and called directly to order food.

Yes, you could order takeout by phone during this period, but it was all high-end takeout, that is, you directly called some restaurants that had a phone number, and then asked the restaurant to prepare the meal and deliver it to you.

This kind of situation can only be done by families like Yu Deshui's family who have telephones at home, but ordinary people cannot do it.

Regarding this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything like "don't bother, I'll pay for it" or something like that.

The main reason is that he doesn't really believe in Yao Guiying's craftsmanship. It would be best if he could eat food from a restaurant.

Furthermore, he is a guest at the door. If he rushes to pay for everything, at this time, it is disrespectful and does not give people face.

Anyway, the gift he gave was heavy enough, so I felt comfortable eating this meal.

After Yao Guiying made the call and ordered the dishes, she suddenly turned around and said, "Xiao Cao, I remember, you said you came today to see our Lao Yu if you have something to do?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded quickly, "It's something serious."

"Is it related to my Yuanyuan?" Yao Guiying asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "It's something else."

"Ah." Yao Guiying nodded with a smile, then looked at Yu Deshui, "Old Yu, I suddenly remembered that there are no melon seeds, peanuts and fruits at home. Otherwise, you two can talk about it here first, and I

How about we go out with Fangfang to buy some melon seeds, peanuts and fruits and come back?"

"Okay, okay." Yu Deshui smiled and nodded, "Go ahead and buy more good ones."

"I know." Yao Guiying agreed with a smile.

After that, Yao Guiying called Yu Fangfang and took Yu Fangfang out.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Yu Fangfang reluctantly said: "Mom, if you want to buy melon seeds and fruits, you can go by yourself. Why are you dragging me along? I'm so tired.

Besides, the gift given by Zhiqiang contains fruits. Didn’t you see bananas and mangoes in it? They are both good things."

"You lazy girl!" Yao Guiying said dissatisfied, "I obviously have something serious to do with your dad, so let them talk alone for a while.

As for why I want to pull you out, it's very simple. Let's divide the troops into two groups. I'll go buy some melon seeds and fruits nearby, and you can ride my bike to the hospital. Just say, "I'm sick, and call Yuanyuan back."

"Ah?" Yu Fangfang was stunned, "Why?"

"Why else?" Yao Guiying said angrily, "You, you, you are at home all day long, what are you thinking about every day? You don't know that Yuanyuan works late tonight and she won't be back tonight."

"Hey, you!" Yu Fangfang slapped her head, "But ha, look at my memory, I forgot about this."

"Go quickly!" Yao Guiying lowered her voice, "It's rare for Xiao Cao to come over, so Yuanyuan can't be absent. I'm still waiting for Xiao Cao to become my son-in-law. We have to help create this opportunity."

Yu Fangfang blinked, then frowned and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you that Zhiqiang has a partner, so it's not appropriate for you to force him and Yuanyuan to go together, right?"

"What do you know?" Yao Guiying glared, "What's wrong with the person you're dating? We're not married yet, so we don't know who will win. Anyway, go ahead. How will you know the outcome if you don't try?"

After saying that, Yao Guiying took out a car key and handed it to Yu Fangfang.

After getting the bicycle key, Yu Fangfang pursed her lips: "Okay, okay, I'll go, it's not possible to go."

After saying that, Yu Fangfang said: "Mom, please wait for my news. Even if I drag you, I will drag Yuanyuan over!"

After saying that, Yu Fangfang ran downstairs.

After seeing Yu Fangfang running downstairs, Yao Guiying sighed: "Oh! This boss is really careless. When will he be able to stabilize his position?"

After saying this, Yao Guiying slowly went downstairs while holding on to the handrail.

Not to mention how Yao Guiying and Yu Fangfang separated into two groups, but at this time, Cao Zhiqiang was introducing other "gifts" he had sent to Yu Deshui.

It's just imported fruits and chocolates, the key is the two taels of Dahongpao, the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, and the box of banknotes and color TV rolls.

Frankly speaking, Yu Deshui's expression changed when he saw the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao.

After all, he is not someone who knows nothing about this. He knows that this thing is even more precious than Maotai, and only a very small number of national-level cadres can drink it.

For a person like him, he has only heard of the reputation of Wuyi Dahongpao in his life, but when it comes to drinking it, he has never drunk it.

Not to mention drinking, he has never seen the real thing, only photos.

This time I heard that Cao Zhiqiang sent two taels of Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao. Regardless of whether they are true or false, and whether they can be accepted, they must at least be seen first.

"Oh, this is the legendary king of tea, the big red robe on the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain."

Holding the small purple sand pottery tea jar, Yu Deshui looked and smelled the tea leaves inside.

“Sure enough, the scent is unique and different!”

After seeing Yu Deshui put down the purple clay tea jar reluctantly and replace the lid, Cao Zhiqiang opened the mooncake box filled with banknotes.

"This is five hundred yuan in cash and an imported color TV coupon from a hardware company, which is enough for you to buy an imported color TV."

Yu Deshui just glanced at the cash and imported color TV coupons, and then quickly took them back, obviously not as excited as when he saw the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao.

After smiling slightly, Yu Deshui said: "Xiao Cao, that is, you, if it were anyone else who dared to present this in front of me, I would have kicked him out a long time ago."

"I know." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "It is precisely because I am not an outsider that I dare to give you these.

Don't worry, the money is all my own royalties and it's absolutely clean.

As for the imported color TV roll, I ordered it in advance from the hardware company in the name of the publishing house, and it was from a clean source.

The relationship between sister Yuanyuan and I is not a secret, so it is normal for me to send this.

And I have no business or official dealings with Sister Yuanyuan, and there is no corruption involved.

In this way, if someone asks, you can say that I gave it to Sister Yuanyuan, not you, and that's okay.

Sister Yuanyuan took the things I gave her and bought a color TV to watch at home, so that’s no problem, right?"

Yu Deshui smiled slightly: "Little slippery man, who did you learn this from? Do you want to learn from the good ones or the bad ones?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "In short, you are right if you don't dare to accept it when others give it to you. But if I give it to you, you can accept it generously. When others ask, you can also generously tell the source. There won't be any problems, right?

?”

Yu Deshui sighed: "That's what I said, but if you give me such a heavy gift, what you ask for is probably not easy, right?

Forget it, let's not mention that. Just talk about the matter first and I'll see if I can solve it.

If I can solve it, everything will be easy, but if I can't solve it, then you'd better take it back to avoid hurting your feelings."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "In that case, let me get straight to the point. This is what happened."
