Chapter 292 Gifts

It is rare that Tang Jing does not have the pressure to study after the exam. Of course, Zhang Ke has to accompany Tang Jing at night. It is the same as if there is a car, so Du Fei drove away.

It was already time for Zhang Ke and Tang Jing to leave the school.

Compared to before the summer of 1994, Haizhou's urban area was undergoing subtle changes. It may not feel that it is very difficult to be in it every day. Those who work in a foreign land will return to their hometown at the end of the year and will be surprised to find that Haizhou City has undergone such a big change in more than a year.

As soon as Zhang Ke and Tang Jing left school, a team of female mounts who had just been established at the end of the year passed by. Although Zhang Ke was more interested in tall horses than on the wheels, and with a heroic and handsome female mounts, she was definitely a beautiful scenery in Haizhou City. Unfortunately, the city's finances did not allow it.

Zhang Ke and Tang Jing were pressing the road like ordinary student lovers. Zhang Ke was wearing a short windbreaker and carrying a sky-blue shoulder bag for Tang Jing. He didn't look too mature. He ate KFC, visited jewelry stores, picked cartoon books and girls' magazines at the book stall, and bought a white fluffy bear with a size comparable to Zhang Ke. He also took pictures of the big head sticker that had just appeared in the lobby of Haizhou Department Store.

I didn't remember to walk home until almost nine o'clock.

"Zhang Ke..."

Zhang Ke looked back at Tang Jing, and she stood there and moved.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ke asked Tang Jing with his head tilted.

"I want you to be so kind to me all the time..."

"Of course, how could it be bad for you?" Zhang Ke smiled, and Tang Jing's childish words touched him a little.

"I want you to be so kind to me!" Tang Jing emphasized again, walked over and hugged Zhang Ke's back, "It's enough to be so kind to me."

Zhang Ke was shocked all over and turned his head to look at Tang Jing.

"The day after tomorrow I will accompany my mother back to Xintai. I can't go to Chen Feirong's house for dinner. Please tell her thank you."

Zhang Ke kept gurgling in his head what to do if Tang Jing encountered it at the dinner table with Xu Si's family. It turned out that she was not only intuitional suspicion, but had always known Xu Si's existence. Zhang Ke felt a little uncomfortable. Even if he lived again, he didn't know how to not hurt a girl's sensitive heart. He couldn't let go of Xu Si. He stood there in a daze, his eyes were a little wet.

"Follower," Tang Jing reached out to help Zhang Ke wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "You have to remember to be so kind to me all the time."

Zhang Ke smiled childishly.

"Silly, would it be good to carry me across this bridge?"

"Bring you home." Zhang Ke half-squatted, asked Tang Jing to ride on his back, and then asked her to hold the big white fluffy bear and stand up with Tang Jing's butt in his hand. Tang Jing was so tall, but she was wearing less than 100 kilograms of clothes. It was easy to carry the bridge. It was still two miles away to carry it to the Municipal Party Committee Villa. Zhang Ke was so tired like a dog. Tang Jing felt sorry for him and wanted to leave by himself, but he insisted on carrying Tang Jing to the Municipal Party Committee Villa, and almost got tired.

Gu Jianping felt distressed for him after seeing it, and kept complaining about Tang Jing’s willfulness: “It’s so big, it’s still so willful!”

Of course, Tang Jing felt distressed, but she was as proud as a little goat. She said proudly: "Zhang Ke is willing, my feet hurt when I go shopping today."

Tang Xueqian helped Zhang Ke pour water, handed him a water cup, and said with a smile: "It's a heavy thing to carry a girl's happiness..."

Zhang Ke took a break for a while and said with a smile: "People always have to learn to make fun of hardship."

Tang Xueqian laughed. Zhang Ke was about to leave after a while. Tang Xueqian said, "You can't go to bed early. Play a game of chess with me. If there are guests at home, you won't hear the banging knocking on the door."

Every year end, although the city prohibits giving gifts by taking advantage of New Year's greetings, if the rules in the document are useful, there will be not so many right and wrong in the world. As the mayor, Tang Xueqian cannot scold everyone who smiles at home to give gifts. All he can do is to keep fewer people at home during this period.

The same is true for Zhang Ke's family. Zhang Zhixing dared not go home until 10 o'clock in the evening, and asked his wife Liang Gezhen to stay at the new house before 10 o'clock. Even if someone is still waiting outside the door after 10 o'clock, he can only go to the countryside to accept gifts. The domestic officialdom is nothing more than human favors. Only those thick envelopes with obvious intentions will return on the spot with a stern face.

Zhang Ke played a game of chess with Tang Xueqian. It was already past eleven o'clock when he came out. He could still see many people hiding in the corners of the bushes. He smiled helplessly. This place is not a downtown area, so he couldn't get a taxi, so he could only go to Xinjinyuan to sleep. He called his home, but he was indeed not at ease.

"Zhang Ke..."

When Zhang Ke heard someone calling him, he looked back and saw Huang Zhuquan walking out from behind a large Kass poplar tree, followed by someone behind him, standing in the shadow, and taking a few steps closer, he saw that it was Huang Zhuquan's son Huang Xiaoming. Huang Xiaoming was carrying something in his hand and put it in a light red cloth bag, and he couldn't see what it was.

"Are you here to give gifts?"

Huang Zhuquan nodded and said, "Come here to greet Mayor Tang. You are the only one in Mayor Tang's house just now?"

Zhang Ke and Tang Xueqian were playing chess in the living room. The lights were brightly lit and tempered glass doors were visible outside. Zhang Ke nodded and asked Huang Zhuquan: "Do you have a car here?"

"Yeah, stop outside."

"It's so cold outside. Let's talk in your car." In fact, it was because Huang Zhuquan was so cold that his speech changed. He played chess with Tang Xueqian inside, and there was air conditioning to heat up. People outside probably would hate him. But they had to line up to give gifts. They were guarding under the tree outside and did not dare to leave easily. They couldn't give gifts today, and they had to continue tomorrow. It was not Tang Xueqian's family, Zhou Fuming, secretary of the municipal party committee, and deputy mayor in charge, they had to do their best for them.

Zhang Ke walked out and saw a long car parked on Jinhu Avenue. When he came back with Tang Jing at nine o'clock, he didn't find any cars parked. He got into Huang Zhuquan's car and Zhang Ke smiled and said, "I've been playing chess at home for Uncle Tang, so late..."

Huang Zhuquan has officially taken office at the Garden and Cultural Relics Bureau and serves as the deputy director in charge of cultural heritage protection. The Garden and Cultural Relics Bureau can only be considered a second-level bureau in administrative terms, half a level lower than the Construction Committee where he was originally located. Although he maintains the treatment of a deputy bureau, in the eyes of the outside world, he actually needs to be considered a downgrade.

Huang Zhuquan knew what Zhang Ke meant: Tang Xueqian was bothering others to give gifts, but if he didn't show up, would Tang Xueqian think that he did not respect him?

So although Zhang Ke said so clearly, Huang Zhujin didn't say anything.

Of course, Zhang Ke understood what Huang Zhuquan thought and said with a smile: "You have so many people lined up in front of you, you have to wait for a long time before your turn is done. It's so cold. I'll call you for asking, it's enough..."

Of course, Huang Zhuquan didn't know how important Zhang Ke was in Tang Xueqian's mind, but Zhang Ke took the initiative to call him, but he couldn't stop him from calling. Huang Zhuquan had only had direct contact with Zhang Ke on the night of the case of the despicable female teacher. That night, Zhang Ke left a strong impression on him. In addition, various rumors about Zhang Ke were circulating in the city. Huang Zhuquan was naturally impressed by Zhang Ke. However, after the case of the molestation of the female teacher, Shao Zhigang contacted him instead of Zhang Ke. When Wan Yong was transferred to Haizhou, he naturally joined Tang Xueqian's camp. However, on the contrary, he was still isolated. Zhang Zhixing had contacted him several times on behalf of Tang Xueqian.

"Uncle Tang, I just came out and met Director Huang from the Garden Bureau. He came to your house with something to pay New Year's greetings..." Zhang Ke said a few words to Tang Xueqian on the phone, and handed the phone to Huang Zhuquan.

"Mayor Tang, it's me, Xiao Huang from the Garden Bureau..." Huang Zhuquan was older than Tang Xueqian. There was no way. Who made him a lower level? He could only be the one who was short of his position. "I would disturb Mayor Tang's rest so late, come and greet Mayor Tang. Report on his job when he just arrived at the Garden Bureau... I'll arrive at the municipal government tomorrow morning. OK, okay... Then I won't disturb Mayor Tang's rest."

Zhang Ke took the phone and asked Huang Zhuquan: "Uncle Tang asked you to go to the municipal government tomorrow?"

Being able to express one's feelings and being able to go directly to the municipal government for an interview, for Huang Zhuquan, although the gift was not given out, the purpose was completely achieved. Huang Zhuquan saw that Zhang Zhixing's son was indeed different from ordinary people in front of Tang Xueqian. He was more experienced in dealing with people and things than ordinary adults. With his deep impression before, he realized that he was a person who could discuss things.

"Let me go to the municipal government to report on my work at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." Huang Zhuquan said.

Zhang Ke smiled and asked again: "How many more will you go to tonight?"

"It's gone today." Huang Zhuquan replied, and he was very cold.

"Okay, you go to the city to report your work tomorrow. I will take you to meet someone today." Zhang Ke looked at the cloth bag on Huang Xiaoming's knees, "There are two good bottles of good bars in it? Xu Hongbo likes to drink. You give him these two good bottles of good wine, and he will teach you how to report your good job tomorrow."

Although Huang Zhuquan's son Huang Xiaoming had been with Wan Tiancai and Zhao Siming all day long, he knew how to get out of the way at critical moments, know how to be serious, and know how to restrain himself. In essence, he was more malleable than Wan Tiancai and other bastards. Regardless of the fact that it was already past eleven o'clock, Zhang Ke asked Huang Xiaoming to drive and go directly to Xu Hongbo's house with Huang Zhuquan.
