nReporter Liu took out another envelope and placed it on the table while trembling. “This… This is the red packet you gave Division Chief Li previously. He asked me to bring it to you…”
n
nZhao Changqing threw the photo in his hand to the ground in anger. In one of the photos, a mining factory worker wearing a safety helmet that covered half his face was staring ahead with a pair of bright eyes, as though he had witnessed the storm in the office!
n
nAfter a while, Zhao Changqing regained his calmness and picked up a bracelet from the table.
n
nHe suddenly asked, “Do you know how much this bracelet costs?”
n
nReporter Liu said carefully, “Something that can be played with by President Zhao must be of extraordinary value.”
n
n“I got this from the capital’s Buddhist temple. It cost me 100,000 yuan, but in reality, this bracelet isn’t even worth fifty yuan!”
n
nReporter Liu did not dare to answer. He did not understand why Zhao Changqing was telling him this.
n
nZhao Changqing continued, “However, I bought five of these bracelets only because a big shot in the capital liked them. If they could make that big shot happy, the 100,000 yuan would be worth it!”
n
nReporter Liu had always known that Zhao Changqing had connections in the capital. It was also for this reason that he was so respectful to Zhao Changqing. Division Chief Li was no exception.
n
n“For this connection, I’ve spent so much money and effort. I must get it back from other areas! I’ve taken a fancy to this coal mine, so I must get my hands on it. Even if something happens, I still have the help of the person in the capital!”
n
nAfterwards, he waved at Reporter Liu. “Go back first. I’ll let you know what you should do later!”
n
n…
n
nAt the school in Ping Yang Town.
n
nXie Chaochao carried her bag on her head and quickly ran to the school gate. She rushed under Xie Zhou’s umbrella.
n
n“Daddy, my clothes are wet!”
n
nXie Zhou put his arm around his daughter’s shoulders and brought her to the car door. “I brought a change of clothes for you in the car. Change out of the jacket!”
n
nXie Chaochao smiled. “Daddy is so good!”
n
nXie Zhou also smiled.
n
nXie Chaochao sat in the car and started telling Xie Zhou about her experience in school this week.
n
n“Daddy, I’ve observed it. Teacher Zhang and Brother Xiao Lei have a good relationship. I’ve seen them several times. They were talking!”
n
nLooking at his daughter’s gossipy look, Xie Zhou couldn’t help but laugh.
n
n“Then did you ask your Brother Xiao Lei? What does he think of your Teacher Zhang?”
n
n“I didn’t get the chance! I originally planned to ask him after school, but it rained and I was only focused on avoiding the rain!”
n
nXie Zhou rubbed his daughter’s head and smiled. “Then we’ll wait for the next time! Or you can ask your Teacher Zhang! If your Teacher Zhang doesn’t like your Brother Xiao Lei, it’s pointless!”
n
n“I think they are together. They are all good people and treat Chaochao very well. They will definitely be very happy together!”
n
nXie Chaochao’s expression turned serious as she nodded heavily. “I’ve decided. I’ll go to school later. I want to think of a way with Xu Shan and the rest, to matchmake the both of them!”
n
nXie Zhou didn’t stop her. He just reminded her, “You have to confirm their feelings for each other first. If they have no intention to be together, it’s wrong for you to do this. They won’t be happy together.”
n
nXie Chaochao nodded. “Alright, I’ll go to school and ask for their opinion!”
n
nAfterwards, Xie Chaochao told him about tutoring Xu Shan.
n
n“Daddy, I think Xu Shan is so smart. I’ll explain the questions to him and he would understand everything after I’ve explained it once!”
n
nXie Zhou said, “As long as you’re willing to work hard, all children are smart! Xu Shan has started learning diligently, that’s why he could learn so quickly! Last week, your Uncle Xu even asked me to thank you on his behalf. He even said that he would find an opportunity to treat you to a big meal to thank you for tutoring Xu Shan!”
n
nXie Chaochao was very happy. “Okay! I want to eat something delicious!”
