Chapter 30: A gentleman loves money and is greedy

When Zhang Ke saw his mother, hesitated for a moment. No wonder, his father's salary may not be much longer, but his expenses are much greater. No one's favors have been left behind before. How can he not take back if he has the chance?

Seeing that his younger brother and sister were hesitating for a moment, Zhang Zhiwei said, "Zhifei said that Xicheng Hotel is good, I think it's okay," he turned around and left without waiting for Liang Gezhen to respond, "I'll go and book twenty tables first. If the girl thinks she wants to add someone, she calls Zhifei."

"Why did your uncle leave?"

Seeing his mother's helpless look, Zhang Ke smiled and said, "It's so rumorful to hold a banquet at the Xicheng Hotel. My father is so proud of his face. He must be afraid that others will say that he just became the secretary-general and wanted to make money. What if Uncle Tang has any ideas, it's even worse. Tang Jing hasn't served wine yet after he went to No. 1 Middle School?"

"That's right..."

"If you want me to come up with an idea, then you can't take too seriously in the future.

"You kid, dare you negotiate with your mother?" Liang Gezhen reached out and grabbed Zhang Ke's ear, "What's the point? Tell me out quickly."

It is true that Tang Xueqian does not accept bribes or embezzlement, but it does not mean that he does not accept gifts, otherwise how can he maintain daily expenses? To put it bluntly, Gu Jianping was also worried about the drinking. Seeing that she and Tang Jing were about to enter school, she would not be able to talk about it. However, Tang Xueqian only mentioned that he would be the mayor and was placing wine in a large manner less than half a month ago, and she was afraid that there would be any bad effects.

Zhang Ke thought to himself, and he would smile proudly on his face.

"Why are you laughing? Why don't you tell me if you have any ideas?" Liang Gezhen added some strength to her hand and pulled Xiaoke's ear upwards.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..." Zhang Ke shouted, "It's just one condition, don't pull my ears in the future."

"I dare to ask for conditions. If you ask for it again, I will let you go back in a taxi every day?" Liang Gezhen said threateningly, but put it down.

"Oh, I haven't seen you such an unreasonable mother," Zhang Ke sighed, not getting any benefits for himself. "You call my uncle and ask him to only order a banquet at the Xicheng Hotel. Then call my father and Aunt Gu, and said that the two families took this opportunity to gather together and celebrate the two children's entrance exams in Shanghai No. 1 Middle School. Aunt Gu's belly is shallower than you. Maybe he let the wind out first. My family treats guests, and his family lets the news. If someone wants to come, you can't let the owner of Xicheng Hotel close the door? The wine is put on and the favor is taken away. Uncle Tang, Dad, who can they blame? I can't embezzle and accept bribes, but the law does not prohibit the relationship between people. How can others scold me? If you want to invite someone to a banquet, he still feels that you are kind and kind, and get along with the masses. He has a lot of face. Uncle Tang and Dad can't erase the face. You and Aunt Gu want to give them a step."

Liang Gezhen's eyes were smiling. Seeing that Xiaoke's uncle passed the corner and disappeared, he turned around and pulled Xiaoke upstairs, first hung up the phone to Xiaoke's uncle Zhang Zhifei, and said that his relatives would not invite him for the time being. He planned to set up a table in the Xicheng Hotel and invite Mayor Tang's family to gather together, which was also considered to celebrate Xiaoke and Tang Jing's admission to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School. Mayor Tang's family had not invited him yet, so he asked him to help prepare first. Then he hung up the phone to her husband Zhang Zhixing, talked about renting a house, and then talked about the meal. How could Zhang Zhixing know that this was a trap made by his wife and son? It felt good, through this incident, he had a closer relationship with Tang Xueqian, and the two families also had to contact more.

Liang Gezhen then hung up the phone to Gu Jianping, first talked about family matters, then talked about the meal, and emphasized the celebration of the two children being admitted to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School, and asked Gu Jianping to bring her daughter to chat early. Gu Jianping kept saying yes on the other end of the phone that she now looks at Zhang Zhixing's children, and the more she sees them, she may have a great future. However, the two children are still young and dare not let them be too close to avoid doing anything that catches adults off guard.

After staying at home until four o'clock, Zhang Ke followed his mother downstairs. In the community, he met Ding Aimin's lover from the comprehensive department and asked: "Sister Liang, today I will celebrate Xiaoke's admission to No. 1 Middle School? If you get No. 1 Middle School, you will enter the cradle of university. Xiaoke will be designated to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future..."

Seeing that his mother was trying to reveal the truth, Zhang Ke stopped her and said, "It's not that, I'll go shopping for vegetables with my mother." Then his mother walked out and got a taxi out of the community.

Liang Gezhen asked: "What if she really thinks we are going to buy groceries?"

"You can take a taxi when you buy vegetables?" Zhang Ke smiled and lowered his voice, "A gentleman loves money and is greedy. He can't let others beat him up when taking money. This is the realm of being an official."

"Where did you get these messy ideas?" Liang Gezhen said strangely, "You are more suitable for being an official than your father."

Zhang Ke patted his head and said, "My father's ten years of career has been taught in my mind. Of course, I am more enlightened than him."

"Go, go, what blood and tears are taught?" Liang Gezhen chuckled, not letting her son talk nonsense. How could she have thought that Zhang Ke was talking about this seriously.

Taking the bus to the Xicheng Hotel, which is very close to No. 1 Middle School, Liang Gezhen pointed at the watch: "It's only twenty minutes, why are you talking nonsense that it takes an hour and a half to go back and forth?"

I didn't notice it when I took the bus in the morning, but I was in the face of time. Zhang Ke saw his uncle Zhang Zhifei looking around at the door of the hotel. He ignored his mother's questioning and hurried out of the car and went over: "Why didn't Zhang Mei come?"

"Your family invites Tang Xueqian's house to dinner, how can Xiaomei come?"

Zhang Ke smiled slightly, and did not show his back to his uncle. He followed him into the hall. Seeing his uncle Zhang Zhiwei inside, he asked, "Why are the uncle here?"

Liang Gezhen rushed over from behind. She hoped that Zhang Ke's uncle Zhang Zhiwei would pay for the banquet. She coughed and refused to let Xiao Ke talk nonsense.

Since you can come here, you won't be driven away easily.

Zhang Ke said bluntly: "My uncle and Uncle Tang have a good relationship. If you are not here, you will also invite Uncle Tang here. Uncle Tang doesn't know him. Will Uncle Tang feel a little abrupt?"

Zhang Zhifei couldn't even interfere with him. He didn't think that Zhang Ke was still a sixteen-year-old child. He could lift the boss's table in front of everyone, and his face was quite light now.

Zhang Zhiwei did not expect to make things difficult for a half-aged child like this. He looked embarrassed and smiled on his face: "Uncle just came to see if he could help. When it was time for dinner, he had something to do."

Only then did Liang Gezhen feel pitiful to his cousin when he saw his son's power, but when he thought about the situation when he returned to his hometown to attend the funeral in July, he became calm and asked his uncle to ask about his preparations.

The anger I received at the funeral should have been gone, but for Zhang Ke, what is hard to eliminate is the resentment accumulated over the past decades before reading the life.
