Zhang Ke led Zhitong to ask Zhou Wenbin to go to the company first to take down the gifts given to Tang Jing and turned them to the residential community of the faculty and staff of the Normal University. He also knew that it was not convenient to come to the door at this time, so he hung up the phone to Tang Jing outside the community.

Tang Jing came downstairs in a snow-white down jacket. Her white skin made her bright red lips and agile eyes more beautiful. She would come into the car. She first hugged Zhitong's little face and kissed her, and then said to Zhang Ke: "You don't tell me if you go to Hong Kong to play? I'm so crazy at home. Didn't that Xiao Wen take the initiative to ask you to give you tutoring homework? Why did you push me here? Every day I'm so enthusiastic, and I don't think I can't stand it. The key is that I need tutoring homework, right? In addition to tutoring homework, I also have to practice brush calligraphy every day..."

Zhang Ke thought of Liu Minghui's girlfriend, and was speechless for a while, and immediately took out a gift to comfort Tang Jing. Tang Jing was not in a hurry to unpack the packaging box. Every year, the number of people coming to her house was uneasy, which made her upset. When she received a call from Zhang Ke, she could not send one or two gifts. Before she went downstairs, she told her mother that she would go to Zhang Ke's house for dinner.

Zhang Ke thought that he had never seen the situation at home much quieter than Tang Xueqian, but the level of the gift-giving person was different. Zhang Ke didn't mind and said to Tang Jing: "Don't talk nonsense when you see anything when you go to my house."

"There are gift-giving people in your family?" Tang Jing asked strangely.

"It's almost there," Zhang Ke smiled, "We'll play with Zhitong in the room, just ignore them." He didn't have much thought when he said that. After saying that, he remembered that his tongue had bitten through so many days, and had not taught Tang Jing a good lesson. He looked at Tang Jing with unruly eyes, which added a bit of teasing. Zhou Wenbin drove them back to the courtyard.

In broad daylight, the gift-giving gift-giving people were still a little worried about walking into the courtyard. Many people in the municipal bureau lived in this yard, and everyone in the courtyard could see clearly who went to his home. Even if New Year greetings and gifts were a good excuse, after all, after the Ding Xiangshan case, the gift-giving atmosphere in Haizhou City was a little solemn. Zhang Ke saw many people poking their heads outside the yard, but there were not many strangers walking around in the yard. The main reason was that it was not dark and the minds had not returned home.

Many people saw Audi cars coming in and thought they were giving gifts to a leader again. Only the people in the yard knew that Zhang Zhixing's son was back.

Zhang Ke and Tang Jing each held Zhitong's hand and walked up to the third floor. They heard laughter in the door and knocked on the door. They saw the uncle Zhang Zhifei and the others in the living room. Uncle Zhang Zhiwei, cousin Zhang Yi, uncle Zhang Zhifei's daughter, and cousin Zhang Mei were all there. The uncle bought a house in the city. Zhang Mei was on the winter vacation, so the aunt took her to the city.

Uncle Zhang Zhiwei saw Zhang Ke and the others coming in, and hurriedly said, "Just talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

Zhang Ke also wanted a group of strangers to sit in the living room, and there was an excuse to hide in the room with Tang Jing. Seeing them, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Didn't you say the flight at noon?" Uncle Zhang Zhifei said with a smile, "We have been here for an afternoon. I thought you could come home first, but I didn't expect to see Tang Jing first."

It would be fine if my uncle didn't say this. But when he said it, Zhang Ke was kicked by Tang Jing. He had to endure it. Who told me not to find Tang Jing as soon as possible?

Zhang Mei was just in junior high school, and the little girl was timid in front of strangers.

Liang Gezhen walked out of the kitchen in an apron, saw Zhitong, Tang Jing, and smiled and said, "I just thought that Jingjing and Zhitong would come to the house for dinner, where is Zhitong's mother?"

"The company is going to have a New Year's Eve dinner today. Sister Wanqing is the company's boss. How can she leave?"

Zhang Zhifei knew that before, Jinhu was actually Zhang Ke's personal. Now that Xie Wanqing is responsible for Jinhu's daily affairs, he is a little confused about the situation and has never had the chance to catch Zhang Ke and ask clearly.

Liang Gezhen sighed, "It's enough for her to manage such a big company. Zhitong will return to the provincial capital tomorrow, right? I'll help them prepare the New Year's goods."

Tang Jing obviously didn't want to sit in the living room and chat with a group of unfamiliar people, and pulled Zhitong to hide in Zhang Ke's room.

Zhang Ke asked his mother: "When will Dad come back?"

My uncle Zhang Zhifei smiled and said, "The city has to organize a major inspection before the New Year. It would be great if your father could come back before twelve o'clock. Don't count on him for dinner." He pointed at Zhang Yi and said, "Zhang Yi came to the city to work during the Spring Festival, and go to our company first to take action."

I can't talk about my good feelings for this cousin, nor can I talk about my bad feelings. Some of them moved their resentment towards my uncle to him. The relationship has always been very indifferent and I almost forgot that I was a cousin. Zhang Ke smiled and said, "After working in the Dongshe Civil Affairs Bureau is a state cadre. What's the future for Hongyuan? I'll tell me to go but I won't go."

Zhang Zhifei smiled and knew that Zhang Ke was not willing to come to the city, but Zhang Yi had been grinding his ears for half a year. He was stuck in it and was difficult to be a human being. He pretended not to understand what Zhang Ke said, and took out a red packet and stuffed it into Zhang Ke's hand: "You don't care about this New Year's money, but you still have to give it..." Uncle Zhang Zhiwei quickly took out the red packet and stuffed it into Zhang Ke's hand.

It’s okay for the others, but my uncle couldn’t refuse the red envelope, so he simply put both red envelopes in a bag.

There was uncle Zhang Zhiwei and cousin Zhang Yi here. Zhang Ke regretted not staying in the company for New Year’s Eve dinner. After dinner, Zhang Ke asked his uncle to take Tang Jing back. He and Zhitong also got into the uncle’s car. When they got into the car, they asked his uncle: "There is nothing else to do tonight, right?" Seeing his uncle shook his head, "Then take us to the night market to play. It's still early at this time, and Tang Jing was quite bored when she came home."

Tang Jing raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: You are aware of your knowledge and tactfulness, otherwise you would rather lock yourself in the room from the beginning.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and many busy citizens have been preparing New Year's goods until today.

There are several night markets in the city, and the ones that are really lively and fun are the street markets in Shatin. The population is concentrated and it is the old city of Haizhou City. It even retains the tradition of temple fairs.

The night market in Shatin is crowded, and the car cannot drive in, so it is parked outside. Girls like gadgets. Tang Jing and her cousin Zhang Mei will stand and not leave whenever they go. Zhang Ke is only responsible for holding Zhitong tightly, so that she will not be too excited and there will be no one around. After seeing one after another, Tang Jing picked a lot of things, which seemed to make her like more than the accessories Zhang Ke brought from Hong Kong. I thought she would be too strict to give her mother, and there was very little chance of breathing out, so she was particularly excited.

Zhang Mei is no longer apart now. The little girl, seeing Tang Jing is older than her and so beautiful, she is very envious. She followed Tang Jing closely and helped her pick a few fancy hairpins, and she was so proud.

While visiting the night market, Zhang Ke explained the situation of Jinhu to his uncle. Zhang Zhifei was also surprised to hear that Xie Wanqing actually put all the foundation of Haiyu Company into Jinhu. In this way, Jinhu will no longer be a shell company, and maybe Hongyuan will rely on Jinhu in the future.

"Then how much do you occupy now?"

"30%."

"Ah, so much?" Zhang Zhifei smacked his lips in amazement, "I have worked hard for twenty years, and you can catch up in half a year."

"What's wrong, I feel sad?" Zhang Ke asked jokingly.

"It's a little," Zhang Zhifei smiled cheerfully, "Monho's model has also inspired me very much. I have been thinking recently that the company's assets are really nothing, and the key resources that can be called determine everything. Looking back, there is only one empty shell, and the Shinkong Paper Factory has been revitalized in just a few months. Now Haiyu has put all his assets into Kumho. Do you want to show your skills?"

"I don't have any particularly great ambitions," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "I am at the bottom of the grade this time. It's not a solution to continue like this, so I handed over Kumho to Sister Wan Qing."

"Boy, I'm fooling your uncle. I'll just meet a ghost if I believe you," Zhang Zhifei said with a smile. "Is the shell company you've built? Is it your idea and the methods are very similar to Kumho?"

"How do you know that the company in the city has just put up an empty shell and did not do anything before the New Year."

"Your father talked to me about this, but others can't see the significance of this shell company. Your uncle still has some vision. This shell company actually has the power to reorganize state-owned enterprises in Haizhou, and the resources to monopolize this area are too powerful. I'm surprised. Jinhu is ready to show off his skills. How could you come up with this idea for me?"

Zhang Ke knew that his uncle also saw the huge temptation of interests in the reform of state-owned enterprises, and said, "I plan to get in the middle of the game," he said, "I am also planning to get in the middle of the game?"

"You have pierced the mystery inside, can I get another one?" Zhang Zhifei was a little depressed, and then said, "I think it doesn't take long. Others will see some tricks from Xinguang Paper Factory. It's hard to guarantee that others don't want to get an one-sided. At that time, the pressure on your father and Tang Xueqian will be great, and the benefits will be great to a certain extent. It's hard to say whether Zhou Fuming will drag it into the water!"

"If everyone can take a bite of the buffet, probably no one will make any objections?" Zhang Ke said sarcastically, "Kunho wants to do something, but he will not interfere in this area. These things are too sensitive. No matter how you deal with it, they will not be innocent. You can't just touch it." Zhang Ke didn't plan to hide anything from his uncle. Tang Xueqian and Zhou Fuming are now stabilizing their status and are in a honeymoon period. However, the first and second leaders in the city don't get along with everyone, let alone Tang Xueqian is a bit strong in character, which has not yet been reflected. However, when he and Zhou Fuming knock down Wan Xiangqian, the common enemy, down, the conflict between him and Zhou Fuming will probably be exposed.

Zhang Zhifei looked at Zhang Ke's face, calm and steady under the street lights of the night market, making people feel that he had the impetuousness and tenderness of a young man. The proposal for the renovation project of Shugang River water system and surrounding waterways was passed before the New Year to supplement the municipal budget for 1995. The city's finances were tight, and the entire project would definitely be demolished. Chengnan District and Xicheng District were also responsible for one section. Several relatively large engineering companies in the city must be considered as the preparations for Hongyuan.

Looking back on all the things that have happened since this summer, Zhang Zhifei was also filled with emotion.

Zhang Ke and his uncle were standing by chatting, but just grabbed Zhitong and refused to let her go. Suddenly, he saw Tang Jing coming back and pulling him to the crowd in front of him. He didn't see Zhang Mei coming back. He thought something was going on. He walked over and saw Chen Feirong's familiar figure. She was setting up a street stall, with some old books and magazines on the rainproof cloth. People stood behind the old books stalls, looking for change for others. Although they were wearing simple clothes, the color of the down jacket was a little dim and a little old, but in the ordinary crowd, Chen Feirong was still so eye-catching. There were many people standing or squatting in front of the old books stalls, and Zhang Mei was squatting there and turning the books on the street stalls.

"What's the best thing?" Zhang Ke knew that Chen Feirong was quite strong and might not be willing to let her acquaintances see her setting up a street stall here. He wanted to pull Tang Jing away. Zhitong was very excited when she saw Chen Feirong. She screamed, broke free from Zhang Ke's hand, and rushed to the front of the book stall.

Chen Feirong seemed to be smiling, her expression was a little stiff. Zhang Ke walked over and held Zhitong's hand, and said with a smile: "You are here..." It was considered to be a greeting.

Tang Jing was not scheming, so she pulled Zhang Ke over, purely envious of Chen Feirong. She walked to Chen Feirong and said with envy: "You are so awesome. I want to set up a stall to sell things, but my mother doesn't let me."

If Gu Jianping wants to agree to Tang Jing come out to set up a street stall, then there will be a ghost! Zhang Ke scratched his head, for fear that Chen Feirong would hate the children of cadres like Tang Jing.

Chen Feirong said calmly: "My home is nearby, I can just help my father watch." Chen Feirong just offended Zhang Ke. Although she was a little indifferent to Tang Jing, she could still maintain the politeness and enthusiasm among classmates.

Since Zhang Ke was hanging out with work outside, Tang Jing was full of yearning for working. She said she wanted to set up a street stall, but it was not just a word. She immediately asked Chen Feirong to give her a corner of the rainproof cloth. She put all the bunch of gadgets she had just collected from other places, pulled Zhang Mei to stand over, pretending to set up a street stall.

Zhang Ke was very troubled. Chen Feirong set up an old book stall to supplement her family income. That kind of mood is not something that Tang Jing and her sweet girl could understand.

Chen Feirong's street stall here has attracted attention. She is wearing a simpler dress, while Tang Jing is wearing a snow-white down jacket, but her collar is fur-shaped, highlighting her increasingly pretty charming.

Seeing Xiao Zhitong was extremely excited, she greeted her uncle through the crowd, asked him to wait in the car first, and asked him to hang up the phone to his father. I wonder when Tang Jing's excitement would dissipate.

Tang Jing collected these gadgets from the street stall and did not bargain when she was young. She wanted to sell them at a price that was a little extra, which made several girls laugh at her. Tang Jing cruelly put all the accessories that Zhang Ke brought back from Hong Kong on the rainproof cloth. Zhang Ke felt so distressed when he read them, but just squatted down to read the old books in a muffled voice to prevent Zhitong from being too excited, and put her small body in her arms and prevent her from moving.

Fortunately, Tang Jing did not foolishly sell the jewelry that Zhang Ke gave her as a street stall, but the offer price was far from the real value of such jewelry. Fortunately, others would not spend dozens or hundreds of yuan to buy jewelry at street stalls, otherwise Zhang Ke would even cry. At ten o'clock, Zhang Zhifei came over with his elder brother and asked Tang Jing to answer the phone. Her mother Gu Jianping urged her to go back. She had to end her first career in setting up a stall, and even Zhang Mei was still unsatisfied.

Tang Jing packed up all the gadgets that she had not sold and said to Chen Feirong: "Zhang Ke and I will come to you tomorrow morning to borrow this place, okay?"

Zhang Kexin said: I don’t want to come! Unfortunately, there is no room for him to express his opinions.

"Then I will help you take a place next to you tomorrow morning." Chen Feirong said, "But, your things are so expensive, no one will want them."

If Tang Jing had the purpose of selling, Zhang Ke would rather buy it for ten times the price. Chen Feirong and Tang Jing were talking and laughing, but they just ignored him and wanted to bring Tang Jing over to set up a street stall tomorrow, wouldn't it be so uncomfortable?

Tang Jing scratched her head and said self-deprecatingly: "When we bought things in front, we didn't bargain. We would sell them cheaper tomorrow. It doesn't matter if we suffer a loss. The key is to practice it. My father often said this to me." He picked a cat-shaped hairpin inlaid from the handbag and handed it to Chen Feirong, "Thank you for helping me take up the space tomorrow."

"Just occupying a place..." Chen Feirong refused to accept Tang Jing's gift.

"Zhang Ke bought it from a street stall. It looks pretty good. I have many such hairpins. Your hair is straighter than me, and wearing this hairpin must look better than me." Tang Jing's hair is a little natural and curly, Chen Feirong's hair is straight and has a good texture, which is much brighter than the fabric of her down jacket.

To let Chen Feirong know that the broken diamonds in the hairpin are all real diamonds, and they may not accept them even if they are alive, Zhang Ke picked a few books under his armpit and said to Chen Feirong: "I won't pay for these books."

Chen Feirong hesitated for a moment and took the hairpin.

Tang Jing asked Chen Feirong if she wanted to drive her back, and Chen Feirong said that her father would come to pick her up.

At this time, there were still many people. Zhang Ke thought that Chen Feirong would not close the stall so early, so he held Zhitong's hand and squeezed out of the crowd.

The next day, the day before New Year's Eve in 1994, the morning light had just spilled into the room from the cracks in the curtains. Zhang Ke was sleeping sweetly in the quilt. He felt his ears itchy. He rubbed his eyes and didn't want to wake up. He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. Yesterday Zhitong occupied Tang Jing and Zhang Ke was quiet.

Not long after, his ears itched again. Zhang Ke reached out to grab his soft little hand and grabbed it hard. Tang Jing screamed in pain.

"What time is it?" Zhang Ke reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes.

"It's getting late, it's already seven o'clock! I asked Chen Feirong to take up the space yesterday." Tang Jing wanted to pull out his hand and pull Zhang Ke up, but asked Zhang Ke to pull him, and he stumbled on Zhang Ke. Tang Jing supported Zhang Ke's chest with her elbow. Seeing Zhang Ke looking at her with a wicked smile, shy and charming, she struggled to get up, and asked Zhitong to help pull Zhang Ke's ears. Zhang Ke saw Zhitong climbing onto his bed without taking off his shoes, and he immediately jumped out of the quilt with heartache.

As soon as Zhang Ke finished washing up, Wan Qing came to pick Zhitong up and returned to the provincial capital. Zhang Ke helped the driver move all the New Year's goods to the trunk. Zhitong was obviously worried about her career in setting up a stall at night market and was reluctant to return to the provincial capital at this time. She tried to persuade her, but she gave up the idea of ​​pestering Tang Jing and Zhang Ke.

After seeing Wanqing and Zhitong off, Zhang Ke returned to the upper floor and found out that Tang Jing was excited to go back sooner or later and didn't sleep for half a night. She put away all the gadgets she had collected over the years. Zhang Ke opened the canvas schoolbag that Tang Jing brought, from cartoon books, alarm clocks, Barbie dolls, hairpins, etc., the girls' gadgets were almost all in this sailing schoolbag. The only thing that made Zhang Ke happy was that there was no gift he gave to Tang Jing.

Zhang Ke doubted why Gu Jianping asked Tang Jing to go out with this big bag of things, so he wasn't afraid that Tang Jing would run away from home?

Zhang Ke hung up the phone at Zhou Wenbin's house and told him not to rush to take a break from today on the New Year holiday, and asked him to drive over to pick them up to Shatin Market. Not long after, Zhang Mei also rushed to his house. The little girl also carried a bulging bag in her hand. Zhang Ke thought to himself that Zhang Mei would live here for a while during the winter vacation, and would go back to Dongshe to go to school during the winter vacation. Why would there be so many things here? Later, I learned that my uncle Zhang Zhifei planned to completely move his family to the city and help Xiaomei contact the junior high school of Haida Affiliated Middle School to transfer to the class. However, during this period, Zhang Ke was not in Haizhou, so I didn't know that when he arrived at Shatin Market, Chen Qi and Chen Feirong and his daughter were setting up a venue there. There was no one in the market. Chen Feirong was wearing the hairpin that Tang Jing gave her yesterday. When Zhang Ke saw it, he wondered if he bought it for Chen Feirong. Don't use his straight long hair to make Chen Feirong's white and tender face look particularly soft.

Chen Qi came over to help carry the things and said to Zhang Ke: "Last night, Xu Si sent the 800 yuan from the factory. Thank you for helping him, otherwise the factory would not have given Fei Rong's mother this money."

"It's nothing, I'm just saying something by the way." Zhang Ke smiled.

Chen Qi mentioned that his family held a banquet on the third day of the New Year and invited Zhang Ke. Seeing that Chen Feirong's expression was quite cold, Zhang Ke only said that he might have to go back to the countryside on the third day of the New Year.

To help Tang Jing and the others prepare the things, Zhang Ke and Zhou Wenbin find a place to have breakfast. Danjing Lane, which sells tofu brains, is nearby. As soon as the tender and refreshing tofu brains are in, Zhang Ke naturally remembered Tang Jing's fragrant tongue, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity to taste it again.

After breakfast, he returned to the market. Tang Jing had already opened and sold the goods at a low price, but Tang Jing was still very happy. The car was parked behind them, and Zhang Ke lay down in the car to sleep, and did not feel that the market outside was noisy. Anyway, Xu Si knew that Tang Jing would not come here, so it was not convenient to leave Tang Jing aside and go to Xu Si.

I don’t know how long I slept, but I heard someone knocking on the car window. I looked up and saw Du Fei pressing his face against the glass. I pressed the car window and asked Du Fei: “Why are you here?”

"I know you and Tang Jing are here, so I come to play with you."

Zhang Ke looked up and saw that the bar girl Shengxia was talking to Chen Feirong outside. It turned out that Du Fei knew the news from Sheng Qing. The military Audi was very eye-catching, and Tang Jing and Chen Feirong were also added, so the news naturally spread quickly.

Zhou Wenbin didn't know where he ran. Du Fei opened the car door and crawled in, and said with a wink, "Boss, you are so good. When did you get both of them? It's not like fighting when they live in peace?"

Zhang Ke had such a luxury. The fact is that Tang Jing was simple-minded and treated Chen Feirong as her senior sister. She didn't hear rumors spreading from others. Zhang Ke saw Du Fei sitting in front and touching the steering wheel, reaching out to take down the car keys. The street market is full of people, and this kid just started the car, so he was going to cause trouble. He asked Du Fei: "It's the New Year, why are you still coming out to mess around?"

"It's the most uninteresting thing to be at home at this time. If you want to deal with people you don't know, it's better to come out and have a breath."

It turned out to be the same trouble. Zhang Ke smiled and sat up. Seeing Shengxia talking to Chen Feirong with a happy conversation, he asked Du Fei: "Your Xiaoxia knows Chen Feirong?" It seemed that Shengxia didn't pay much attention to Du Fei. Zhang Ke smiled and did not expose him. He hoped that he could come out of Li Zhifang's shadow as soon as possible.
To be continued...
