39. Jiang Zhihan's Busy Life (Part 2)

Since Shanshan and Alum went on a date, it was Jiang Zhihan's first time to have dinner with Xiaoqin alone. According to Jiang Zhihan's thinking, a girl like Xiaoqin who is very career-oriented should pay great attention to the concept of time. So he calculated the distance and went out 20 minutes in advance to avoid accidental traffic jams and made him late. There was no delay along the way, and when he arrived at the restaurant, it was 25 minutes earlier than the agreed time. Jiang Zhihan sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and slowly started drinking.

For many days, Jiang Zhihan has been used to tightening the lines and doing things on the schedule one by one, day after day, week after week, just like a pedestrian rushing on the road. Today, I have some leisure time, and sit down and drink tea slowly, which is also a good feeling.

He asked for a seat by the window and looked out. He saw a gray river winding in the distance. It was the mother river that had nurtured thousands of years of ancient civilization. The sun was almost set. Due to the heavy dust in the city, the sun was not dazzling at all. In the late autumn and early winter evening, it was like a lovely red ball hanging quietly there. Somehow, Jiang Zhihan remembered those two lines of poetry: the desert is lonely smoke straight, and the long river is round. This is one of Jiang Zhihan's most admired poems, but under the sunset of the long river today, it is not a deserted desert, but a bustling city. Jiang Zhihan tilted his head slightly, imagining the magnificent and lonely picture of the desert under the sunset. He felt more and more that the artistic conception revealed was truly memorable.

When Qin walked into the restaurant, she saw Jiang Zhihan tilting his head slightly, looking at the silhouette of the setting sun by the river. A seventeen-year-old boy, or a young man, has a calm face and a deep gaze, as if he had seen all the world.

When he first met Jiang Zhihan, Xiaoqin was already a little surprised by the young man's tender face and youthful passion. Under her age, she had a maturity and calmness that was more impressed by her. She seemed to have a kind of confidence in her bones. Even if he had never seen the things he faced before or was not in his control, he also had a restrained but strong confidence to act in his own way. Xiaoqin stopped and suddenly felt that the silhouette of the boy next to the window, coupled with the distant mountains, rivers, and warm sunset, was an excellent composition. She took out her Zhujiang camera from her shoulder bag, aimed at the focus distance, and took a snap.

Jiang Zhihan woke up from the heavens with a crackling sound. He turned around and saw Xiaoqin, stood up and helped her open the seat. Xiaoqin yelled and said, "I have never enjoyed such a gentlemanly treatment! Where did I learn it?"

Jiang Zhihan asked her: "Are you taking a photo just now?"

Qin said: "Yes. I'm following Lao Wu, who is running photography recently. Although I have to be a reporter, I have to be very capable. You just sat here and matched this scene, so I took a photo for you and let you appreciate my masterpiece another day."

Jiang Zhihan sincerely praised: "Miss Xiaoqin really can see far, and she will definitely be a famous reporter in the press in the future."

Qin said, "Okay, don't compliment me. What were you sitting here just now? Is the sadness of spring and autumn coming?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "I suddenly remembered a poem. The sunset in the long river is really compatible with this scenery. If I am not careful, I don't know what I am thinking about. In the past, I used to be a random thought and distracted. I don't seem to have time to be busy these few months. Suddenly I had the opportunity to sit down, have a cup of tea, and think about some messy things that are not in tune with. It seems that it's a good feeling."

Qin accompanied him to watch the sunset for a few minutes. The two sat there without saying anything, but it seemed like friends who had been with many years had a silent tacit understanding.

Qin ordered a dish, one fried waist flower, one fresh soup, and one tiger-skin green pepper. She asked another bottle of beer and asked Jiang Zhihan what he wanted to drink. Jiang Zhihan said I'll have a bottle too. Xiaoqin so she asked for two bottles. Subconsciously, she didn't even think about whether Jiang Zhihan was too young to drink. She opened the bottle cap and poured the wine into a glass. Seeing a layer of white foam slowly floating on the yellow liquid, it was strange and felt a sense of comfort.

Qin raised the cup and said, "To steal half a day of leisure," the two of them touched the cup gently and took a sip.

Jiang Zhihan knew that Xiaoqin was looking for him, and there must be something or news. But Xiaoqin didn't mention it, and he was not in a hurry, so he just found some topics to talk about.

Jiang Zhihan said: "This store tastes good, but the price is not cheap. I used to come to the evening twice and didn't sit by the window. I was still wondering why you and Sister Shanshan liked this place so much. Today, it seems that this scenery alone is worth half the money for the meal."

Qin smiled and said, "I didn't realize that you are still a romantic one. Actually, Shanshan is the one who really likes this hotel. I just follow her wishes."

Seeing Xiaoqin's profound look, Jiang Zhihan asked, "What's the story here?"

Qin said: "One day, Shanshan and I made an appointment to have dinner here, but I couldn't get a sudden news. Shanshan sat here alone, and a thick-skinned boy went up to chat with her." Xiaoqin said with a fierce expression, "Then he kidnapped my Shanshan."

Jiang Zhihan laughed: "I didn't expect that Brother Ming has this skill, so when should I ask for advice?"

Qin said: "I heard Shanshan say that you have a very beautiful girlfriend, don't eat what is in the bowl and look at the pot. I said, looking at you little guys, I really feel that the Yangtze River is pushing the old waves. When I was as big as you, how could I have so much thought?"

As the two of them talked, drank wine, and ate side dishes, the sunset slowly had already set. There was some sunset in the sky, light blue and deep red, which looked very beautiful.

After eating, Qin picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, saying, "Why don't you ask me what I have to do with you?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm very happy to chat with you."

Qin looked into his eyes and said, "Really?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "Of course."

Qin shook her head and said, "At a young age, I don't know where to learn how to maintain my health." After a pause, she said, "This news is barely good news. That article has been published in this issue of the Insider. But don't be happy too early. Insider, many leaders don't know how to read it, or they look at it and put it aside. If a leader can mention it slightly on some occasions, the effect will be very different. But I can't do anything about this matter."

Jiang Zhihan nodded and said sincerely: "No matter what, I really want to thank you, Miss Xiaoqin. We haven't known each other for a long time, so I have been bothering you twice."

Qin said: "You are a nosy person. To be honest, Xiaoqian's incident has touched me more than your last encounter. Although the environment of birth and growth and the jobs you have done are very different, a girl in her twenties has just entered society and will only know the difficulties of such a person. Don't think that I am insensitive now. In fact, as a reporter, I can get more dark side than most people, and I have written seven or eight articles. To be honest, if my father had not had some connections in the publishing industry, I wouldn't know if I would have been replaced with another position. For my father's face, the leader usually just said, Xiaoqin, you wrote a good article, but you should have a sense of the overall situation. This is already very considerate of me."

Jiang Zhihan said seriously: "I can really understand. I used to be trapped in the campus and came into contact with too few things outside. In the past few months, I have come into contact with more than ten years before. The feeling of being unable to do so is common. But what makes me hope is that although there are all kinds of messy things everywhere, there are still many people who are willing to help and work hard to safeguard the most basic justice of this society." Jiang Zhihan said relaxedly and said: "It is people like Xiaoqin, you who have not let my beautiful ideals be disillusioned at the age of 17!" Xiaoqin laughed at him.

Qin insisted on paying the bill, and the two walked out of the restaurant together. Xiaoqin suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, I went to your house for an interview last week, and I went to the bookstore run by your mother to read it. The books there are very good. I saw a complete set of genuine Kundera that I had been looking for, so I quickly bought it."

Jiang Zhihan said: "Thank you for taking care of the business."

Qin said: "It's really good that your mother has to do. Many people will like it, but they may not know that there is such a place. Yesterday I met a college classmate who is now a director at Zhongzhou Transportation Radio. They only opened a new column not long ago, which is an audience ordering songs, and it is said that they are very popular. The column has advertisements for rent. Have you ever thought about going to go and make an advertisement?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "Of course I thought about advertising, but I have only started for a while and I don't have much money, so I thought about taking a look after it after a while."

Qin said: "I asked you about the approximate price by the way, it was very cheap." Then he told Jiang Zhihan a price.

Jiang Zhihan was surprised and said, "How could it be so cheap?"

Qin said: "Their radio station has funds allocated by the bureau, so it is considered to be semi-state-owned. In addition, everyone may not be sure of the new column. This price can be considered the discount price at the beginning, right?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "It seems that I took it for granted. I always thought that advertising would be very expensive, and I didn't carefully inquire about the prices of different media and programs. If it was this price, I would definitely ask my mother to advertise, and it would not be harmful anyway." He smiled and said: "When is the time ripe? Sister Xiaoqin will find a way to write an article in the weekend cultural supplement to advertise us."

Qin shook her head and said, "You are so sensible." As she laughed, the two broke up at the intersection and said goodbye.

Jiang Zhihan found a public telephone number and first informed the old man of the latest progress, and then went to Chen Yimeng's home.

Chen Yimeng opened the door for Jiang Zhihan and said, "Did you skip class today?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "I made an appointment with someone. Who knows that I will temporarily change the late self to class? Teacher Zhang didn't say anything, right?"

Chen Yimeng smiled and said, "Why are you afraid of if Ni Shang covers you up? She is Teacher Zhang's number one favorite."

The two entered the living room, and Chen Yimeng pointed to the door of the study, "My father, an old subordinate, came to see him and talked in the study." So Jiang Zhihan and Chen Yimeng sat down and randomly adjusted the station to watch TV.

After about twenty minutes, the door of the study opened. Commander Chen walked out, followed by a tall young man with dark skin and angular face. His waist was straight and his walking posture was obvious from the army. Commander Chen introduced: "This is my old subordinate. Now he has transferred to the job, come and see me." He also introduced Jiang Zhihan and said, "Yimeng's classmates are only a hundred times more capable than Yimeng." Chen Yimeng smiled and didn't care. Jiang Zhihan and the man nodded and smiled, which was regarded as greeting each other.

Commander Chen sent his old subordinates away and sat down to greet Jiang Zhihan. He lifted the lid of the cup, took a big sip, and said to Jiang Zhihan: "I am an old subordinate, who is upright and knows flexibility. He is a capable person. He worked as a cook and later served as my guard. I finally found an opportunity to set him up a military academy place, and he gave him loyalty to others. After he was discharged from the army, he was assigned to the town. The work was not very good. The family was a young man and a young man, and the burden was very heavy." Commander Chen sighed and said: "I want to help, but don't think I am the deputy secretary now, but I still have the power to get him into the Light Industry Bureau."

Jiang Zhihan didn't know whether Captain Chen had mentioned this matter unintentionally or what, so he looked at him and quietly waited for his following. Captain Chen said: "Latest in the past, Lao Shi's factory was designated as a pilot unit for reform in the city. There are only four under our Light Industry Bureau, which is a good opportunity. However, there are many rumors about Lao Shi recently, and I have heard some in the bureau. I haven't met him during this period. If you come, please bring me a message to tell him to pay attention. After all, there is no wind or wave."

Jiang Zhihan knew that Director Shi and Secretary Chen were now strong allies, and they must have telephone calls from each other. He couldn't understand why Secretary Chen needed to be a messenger in the middle, instead of calling Director Shi directly. He thought about it secretly, and knew that he was still too young and could not figure out the reason for these things, so he no longer had to think about them. Leader Chen sat for a few minutes and stood up and said, "I have some things to deal with, you two have to talk to yourself. By the way, Zhihan, please ask Director Shi, by the way, is it possible for me, my old subordinate, to help me solve a good job in the factory?" Jiang Zhihan nodded and agreed, and Leader Chen went to his study. Chen Yimeng pulled Jiang Zhihan to ask a few math, physics, and English questions, and Jiang Zhihan said goodbye to his mother's bookstore.

When he arrived at the bookstore, Jiang Zhihan probably talked to his mother about going to the radio to advertise and asked her to contact Xiaoqin in detail. Li Rongrong now trusted her son's judgment, and the price was indeed not expensive, so she agreed. While her mother was going to the bathroom, Jiang Zhihan called Ni Shang's house with the phone in the store. When she made an appointment with Ni Shang, she would rush to answer the phone. The ringtone rang, and Ni Shang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it okay today?" Jiang Zhihan said: "Is it okay today?" Ni Shang lowered his voice and said: "Teacher Zhang seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything." He paused and said: "Can you say it tomorrow? Why do you have to call tonight?" Jiang Zhihan smiled and said: "Because this kind of phone call makes you feel like having an affair." Ni Shang cursed in a low voice: "Go to die." Then he hung up the phone.

After packing up the store and sweeping the floor again, Jiang Zhihan went home with his mother. After returning home and finishing the washing, Jiang Zhihan took out the major events of the Great Depression that he had seen in the past few days, sat on the bed and watched for an hour and a half, and practiced his meditation luck for an hour. Finally, he ended his busy life and went to bed.

In a daze, he heard the rumbling of the train again. A girl's voice floated by in the distance, and couldn't hear clearly what she was saying. Jiang Zhihan asked in his dream, who are you? The sound was floating and unreal. Jiang Zhihan opened his ears wide and listened carefully. The man seemed to be saying, "My name is Ni Shang, my name is Ni Shang."
