The Internet was in an uproar.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng leisurely accompanied Elder Lin to go shopping and eat breakfast. They looked like little old men and little old ladies who were leisurely. They were so lazy that they lacked vigor …
It was nine o 'clock in the morning. The warm sunlight shone over White Town. They felt the warmth of the sunlight and listened to the heavy traffic around them. The two of them, who had been living a one-way life for a long time, felt happy and unburdened.
"Old Lin, shall we settle down here after we retire?" Xiao Zheng suddenly sighed with emotion.
Lin Huayin didn't respond to him.
A twenty-eight-year-old man was at the peak of his career and most energetic. But he said such a thing.
For an ordinary man, it could be defined as a lack of fighting spirit and a lack of motivation. He loved ease and hated work.
But when Xiao Zheng said it, Lin Huayin didn't feel surprised at all.
She knew Xiao Zheng's past and what Xiao Zheng had gone through in those years. It was no exaggeration to say that Xiao Zheng's life in the past twenty-eight years was more exciting and thrilling than many people's lives. The more he experienced, the richer his understanding would be.
"Are you tired?" Lin Huayin asked lightly. She glanced at Xiao Zheng gently.
"Not really," Xiao Zheng said with a grin. He squeezed Lin Huayin's palm. "I just feel that this city is good."
Xiao Zheng was silent for a while and suddenly added, "You too."
Lin Huayin was startled and didn't say anything.
They had a roadside stall for breakfast. A bowl of porridge, two deep-fried dough sticks, and a plate of pickled vegetables. It wasn't a sumptuous meal. Compared to their wealth, it was a little shabby. But the two of them had a good meal.
It was really shabby for the poor to eat like this.
It was interesting for the rich to eat like this.
Look, society is really unfair. There were people everywhere who were biased.
They sat by the roadside and rested for a while. Xiao Zheng held Lin Huayin's hand and caressed it for a while. Then he said with a smile, "Go and do your work. You can't possibly accompany me to stroll around every day, right? "
"No hurry." Lin Huayin gently shook her head.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "You're really different after coming back to White Town. He was so playful that he didn't even care about his work. The sun is rising from the west. "
Lin Huayin pursed her lips and did not respond. She just leaned on Xiao Zheng's side and looked at the people coming and going.
Ding ding.
Another call came in.
This time, it was his old acquaintance, Zhang Lan. Class Monitor Zhang.
"Class Monitor. Why are you calling me so early in the morning? "Xiao Zheng teased.
Zhang Lan's bitter smile came from the other side of the phone. "Xiao Zheng, you're fighting with the Qin family again? Just for a small production movie? "
Zhang Lan didn't dare to explain. Of course, her understanding of the whole matter was limited. It was impossible to know the entire inside story.
No matter what, Zhang Lan was sure that the movie was only the fuse. The real reason for the fight was the accumulated conflicts between the two.
"I'm helping the SARFT to get rid of the black sheep," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "To avoid being ridiculed by others, let me take the blame."
He said half-jokingly and half-seriously. Hearing this, Zhang Lan shook her head.
"This matter has been taken seriously by the higher-ups. But it hasn't caused any adverse reactions. So it's not convenient for the SARFT to intervene. "Zhang Lan revealed the attitude of the SARFT.
"They forcibly increased the number of showtimes, so it's destroying the market, right?" Xiao Zheng asked casually. "Doesn't the SARFT care about this kind of vicious competition?"
"There was an emergency meeting in the morning. A deputy minister set the tone. He said to observe first and then make a conclusion. "Zhang Lan said with a wry smile.
It seemed that this deputy minister was at least related to the Qin family. Looking deeper, he might have a close relationship with the Bai family or even the White Town family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a different tone at this time.
Although this matter wouldn't affect his career, it would be a source of ridicule. If this deputy minister dared to do this, someone must have informed him.
This was also the reason why Xiao Zheng didn't intend to start with the SARFT.
In the political arena, Xiao Zheng had indeed accumulated some experience. Although the SARFT was actually under the leadership of the Central Publicity Department. But it was still an agency directly under the State Council, and the administrative level was at the ministerial level. Even if he was friends with Jin Shuheng from the Public Security Department and Minister Gong from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he might still be able to influence the SARFT. But there was still a layer of relationship between them. They weren't as close as the Qin family or the booming entertainment industry with the SARFT.
So it would be very difficult for Xiao Zheng to take the SARFT route, and he wouldn't be able to get any benefits. So he might as well take the path of a proper business war.
"Xiao Zheng, do you want me to help you knock some sense into them?" Zhang Lan said with a smile. "Although the higher-ups have set the tone, there isn't much room for maneuver. However, I can still disgust him a little. "
Zhang Lan didn't hide anything when chatting with her old classmate, Xiao Zheng. Of course, based on her current status, she wasn't qualified to show off her authority in front of Xiao Zheng.
"I've caused you trouble last time." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I'll do it myself this time. I won't cause trouble for the SARFT. "
Zhang Lan didn't say it out loud, but she understood it very well.
The second day after the incident, Zhang Lan was called into the office by her leader. On the surface, it was a job transfer. But in reality, Zhang Lan, who had a high political awareness, sensed a problem.
After being in the SARFT for a year, it was time for her to choose a side.
And after choosing a side, the ready-made benefits were right in front of her.
That was the difference.
Ordinary subordinates took the initiative to choose a side. They wouldn't immediately see the benefits. But for Zhang Lan, who was invited by the leader and given benefits. She was basically a trusted aide who was nurtured. As long as the leader didn't fall. At least in the SARFT, Zhang Lan's path would be much easier.
Then, here came the problem.
Why did the leader like a newcomer who had only been in the system for a year so much? Outstanding ability? Don't joke around. In school, results were the best weapon to pave the way. But in society, the key to ability was a bit awkward. Being a person and doing things was the most important thing.
Xiao Zheng knew that the leader's sudden attention must be the result of the movement of the higher-ups. And she didn't have any connections or background in Yanjing, so all her connections were left in Mingzhu. Why would the higher-ups help her?
The answer was obvious.
Xiao Zheng was the mastermind behind the scenes.
So, it seemed that Xiao Zheng had troubled her. But in fact, she was the one who received a favor from Xiao Zheng.
But she didn't say it out loud. Expressing her gratitude with actions was the best way.
Of course, with her understanding of Xiao Zheng, he wasn't someone who liked to take credit. It wouldn't be nice to say too much.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng wanted to accompany Old Lin to see if there was anything suitable for Old Lin and buy a few things. After all, it wouldn't be right if he didn't buy anything on this trip. No matter how indifferent Old Lin was, he couldn't really have no desires, right?
But at this time, Xiao Zheng received a text message from Lin Xiaozhu: "Brother-in-law. "Brother-in-law, I'll show you what I can do before sunset!"
