When the phoenix man meets the peacock man

Chapter 8

Feng Tao originally made an appointment with his younger siblings on the weekend, but when he was leaving the house, he received a call from Zong Jiyuan, telling him to report to work.Feng Tao hurriedly postponed the meeting with his siblings until the afternoon, and then rushed to the Zong residence immediately.

If we want to talk about Zong Jiyuan, we must first talk about the Longan Group.The predecessor of Long An was a state-owned enterprise that manufactured a certain large-scale machinery. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a factory was built. In its heyday, there were more than [-] workers. The several communities near the factory were all his workers, and the property rights of the land were also owned by the factory.After a series of reforms such as reform and opening up, state-owned enterprise restructuring, and asset reorganization, the Long'an Factory became the Long'an Group.After going through ups and downs, Long An is still an important taxpayer here, paying a percentage of the tax.Longan Group is such a large group that has a special historical status and still has important "strategic significance".

As the boss of Longan Group, Zong Jiyuan is not an ordinary high-ranking and powerful person.This can be seen from the treatment he enjoys.He doesn't live in the Yinghua Lakeside area where the city's upstarts gather, but lives next to government officials, in the quiet Beijing Road Garden area.There are "unidentified militants" standing guard at the gate of the community 24 hours a day.Zong Jiyuan can't walk around casually at ordinary times, because it is very inconvenient to walk around, and there are basically two bodyguards behind him at all times. He has not been so particular about the security specifications in recent years. It is said that he even had a private pistol assigned to him by the Ministry of Armed Forces a few years ago.

These are actually not out of his original intention, but the boss of this kind of state-owned enterprise is not something ordinary people can do. After all, as long as he loosens his fingers a little, he can easily approve a note, and he will have tens of millions of things at hand. It's not a question of whether he wants to be in a certain position, he can't help himself, he can't help himself.

Zong Jiyuan summoned Feng Tao, and Feng Tao "entered the palace according to the imperial edict".

Taxis were not allowed at the entrance of the community, so he got out of the car and walked.Although he has been here many times, the soldier on guard still called him meticulously to verify his identity before letting him go.

The location of the Zongzhai in the community, it takes more than ten minutes to walk, has an advantage - the greenery is good, although it is not visible in winter, it feels empty.The distance between detached villas and villas is not close.

It was Zong Jiyuan's current wife, Shao Ying, who came to answer the door. She held her three-year-old son Doudou in her arms.

Shao Ying knew that Feng Tao was Zong Jiyuan's guest, so she had a very kind attitude, and she was almost insidiously trying to please her. After all, she could see Zong Yuheng behind Feng Tao, and she had been careful with that stepson for so many years.

She beckoned Feng Tao to come in, asked the workers to bring him slippers, and encouraged her son to call someone, "Call me brother."

Zong Doudou put a fat finger in his mouth and glanced at Feng Tao. He didn't know whether it was shyness or laziness. He turned his head and lay on his mother's shoulder. say.

Feng Tao praised the child in a regular manner, so he went to Zong Jiyuan's study to report on his work.

When he knocked on the door and entered, Zong Jiyuan was practicing his pen on the desk with splashes of ink. The pen was vigorous, and the writer also pursed his lips and was meticulous and correct, especially like an old artist.

Feng Tao called "Mr. Zong" and waited patiently.

Zong Jiyuan didn't know whether he was really too involved or was pursuing a certain realm. He didn't realize that such a big man left him there for a long time, and he didn't stop writing until his big characters came together. He wiped his forehead with a white towel placed aside, looked up to see Feng Tao, and greeted him, "Oh, Xiao Feng, you are here." Tell him to sit down on a chair beside him.

Shao Ying came in to serve tea at the right time.She used to be Zong Jiyuan's chief secretary for many years, and she still has the same professional level as before. In fact, her marriage is also an expansion and continuation of her career, which is a promotion and salary increase to some extent.

Zong Jiyuan began to ask Zong Yuheng about recent major events, public and private, and Feng Tao reported them one by one.

However, after three years of entrepreneurship, the company has stabilized for a while, even though it is not that good; Zong Yuheng's personal life is also very good - he hasn't had a boyfriend for half a year.So what can barely be counted as an "event" is the return of Zong Yuheng's ex-boyfriend Bi Yuntao from college.

Zong Jiyuan thought about it carefully, and said little by little: "I have a little impression of that Xiaobi, who is always with Xiaoyu, and goes out to play together during holidays, but at the time I thought it was just that friends were closer than others--according to you, they Is there still a possibility of development?" Zong Jiyuan undoubtedly attached great importance to Feng Tao's opinion on matters concerning his own son, and regarded him as his right-hand man.

Feng Tao thought about it cautiously, and said: "I can't say this, after all, it's hard to say about the two of them, but—on the night I met Bi Yuntao, Mr. Xiao Zong not only left early, but also went to the bar by himself. People are drunk."

Zong Jiyuan frowned, "Huh? Is there such a thing?!"

Feng Tao added: "But I went to deal with it later, and nothing happened."

Zong Jiyuan thought about it again, "I know about this matter. Xiao Feng, please find out for me what's going on with this Xiao Bi." It was almost time for him to hand in a feasibility report or something.

Feng Tao is more than happy to accept the assigned task, which can be regarded as his most important part-time job—surrounding Zong Yuheng, assisting his work, taking care of his life, making small reports on him, monitoring him, investigating his troubles, Helping him take care of his troubles, etc. In short, the content of his part-time job can be called "everything about Zong Yuheng".

As usual, after asking about the situation of his son who did not return home, Zong Jiyuan also expressed his courtesy thanks to Feng Tao and his satisfaction with his work, saying something like "Fortunately, he took care of everything for us by his side".

Then he said, "Is your sister still used to being with Mr. Zhou?"

Feng Tao said: "Very well, she has learned a lot from her tutor."

Feng Tao's younger sister has just studied for half a year this year. She took the postgraduate entrance examination at this time last year, but her grades were not very satisfactory. She was faced with the choice of being transferred to nowhere. Feng Tao asked Zong Jiyuan, and the result was just a matter of words. His sister got her first choice.Zong Jiyuan blamed Feng Tao for saying hello too late at the time, and it would have been okay if he had said the Baoyan earlier.

Zong Jiyuan said again: "I remember your brother is also a junior this year, is he going to take the postgraduate entrance examination or work?"

Feng Tao said: "Not necessarily, he decides this matter himself."

Zong Jiyuan said: "Well, if there is something that needs help, Xiaofeng, you are welcome."

Feng Tao thanked Zong Jiyuan again.But he is not the kind of person who asks for this and that. His important part-time job can be done for ten years because of his ability to know how to advance and retreat.

Of course, there is no free labor in the world, he wants something, but this thing is a bit like Aladdin's magic lamp, there is a quota for the number of wishes you can make, what you want today, what you want tomorrow, if you don't have serious business, you will waste the opportunity up.

So Feng Tao didn't easily open his mouth to Zong Jiyuan, but once he did, he could basically be satisfied.

Zong Jiyuan actually admired him a lot, and once said: "If my Xiaoyu can be half as sensible and strong as you, I don't have to be so worried."

Feng Tao actually thought in private, if you can be as reassuring as my parents, maybe your "Xiaoyu" will be sensible and strong-of course, unless he doesn't want to do it, he dares to tell the truth like that.

However, Zong Jiyuan mentioned something that he hadn't mentioned before in addition to some routine words today.

He said: "Xiao Feng, what you have done for me these years is hard for you. Although you have never treated you badly in your career, I don't know if it has caused you any inconvenience in personal matters. Xiaoyu... likes to have boyfriends, Is it a drag and you can't have a girlfriend?"

Feng Tao thought carefully about this new topic, and said: "Mr. Zong, I didn't have opportunities when I was in college, but at that time my family was poor and the conditions were not good. I was busy working part-time to earn tuition and living expenses. I didn’t have time to think about this issue; after leaving school, I have been following Zong Zong until now, and I am indeed very busy in all aspects of work—I mean, I can’t blame Zong Zong for this matter. It’s my own feeling of timing Immature, don't rush. A man starts a career first and then a family, besides, I'm still young."

Zong Jiyuan nodded approvingly, "I also think that men shouldn't be distracted by the family too early, but I have to say, it's 27-[-], and it's time to think about personal issues, not too early."

Feng Tao said: "Thank you for your concern. I will let nature take its course in this regard."

Zong Yuheng raked his hair back, and said with a low-profile and leisurely attitude of a big man: "Just let nature take its course."

After leaving the Zongzhai, Feng Tao rushed to his younger brother's school, where he met up with his younger siblings.

Feng Tao's younger brother, Feng Wei, is a tall guy with good facial features, but the strawberries on his face are a bit exuberant, which makes him look too youthful; what's more, he is a little hunched and not stretched out too much.There was a small folding comb in his pocket, and he took it out to stroke his short hair carefully when he had nothing to do.When Feng Tao arrived at Kaifeng, his younger brother was enjoying it.

Feng Tao is not used to men looking in the mirror and doing their hair, and thinks girls with greasy hair and pink face are too angry.He hugged his brother on the back of the head and said: "Just a few dick hairs toss a p!"

Feng Wei hurriedly took a comb to make amends a few times, and complained: "Brother! Don't touch my head! How many times have I told you! It's not easy!"

Feng Tao didn't bother to talk to him, "Isn't Xiaojuan here yet?"
