People often say that the palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh.
In Zhou Jiao's eyes, her three sons are undoubtedly her treasures.
As they grow up, their personalities and preferences become distinct.
Ru Pingan has loved green since childhood. It is hard to imagine that he, who aspires to become a soldier, has developed a persistent preference for white.
People who like white are typical perfectionists.
No matter how well her son hid it, no matter how much he acted like a gentleman, she knew that he had a serious narcissistic tendency and was always critical of the people, things, and objects around him.
Another example is May Day.
He is completely different from his elder brother.
This brat has gone from loving bright red to wanting to paint his entire bedroom in black, not to mention the row of black sweaters and trousers.
Boys with a penchant for black are the most unpredictable. And her youngest son is even more like a blackened daffodil.
The ostentatious display and the fragrance it exudes are all poisonous.
Even if this child faces the world with a smile, it cannot hide his inherent arrogance, self-righteousness, and domineering nature.
It’s her Children’s Day.
Others say that the second child suffers the most, being neither upper nor lower among brothers and the most likely to be ignored.
But she had felt the same way in her previous life, so how could she bear to let Liuyi suffer? In fact, since he was a child, she had spent the most energy on him.
I don’t know if it’s because I have the greatest influence on him, but among my three sons, his personality is the most like mine.
Apart from the three brothers having similar facial features, he is neither like his brothers nor like his younger brother in other respects. Instead, he has inherited all his bad habits.
Secretly, she didn't want her child to be as cold and heartless as she was, but this time she couldn't help but guide him. As a mother, perhaps she had failed?
Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head in disapproval. "No! He's the only one of the three kids who's truly unharmed this time. In that sense, he's the best. He can always remain calm, making him the most suitable for enlistment."
"That's good."
Zhou Xiaozheng avoided the question without comment. His Liuyi wanted to inherit the Zhou family, so he was truly too soft-hearted. They should be anxious.
In early spring, when the weather warms and flowers bloom, everything grows, the grass grows, and the birds fly. The most delightful thing is to see flowers everywhere.
The four fathers and sons who had returned from the front had to go back to school, and Zhang Guoqing's pace, which had been busy all the time, gradually slowed down.
Life is back on track.
In her spare time, Zhou Jiao, in a good mood, began to think about her work.
With her father in a high position and Zhang Guoqing having a newly promoted deputy minister, she knew that due to the balance of power among all parties, her room for advancement would be relatively small.
At this moment, just as she was deep in thought, Shi Dashen began to summon her.
Zhou Jiao responded immediately and rushed to the mysterious courtyard.
God loves simple people, and she knew her chance had come.
"Are you interested in taking the mission?"
Zhou Jiao was embarrassed when she heard this. She had asked this question right after entering the room. Shouldn't she have been more roundabout and not so direct? She was still trying to get some useful information.
"Just give your orders, sir."
Shi Dashen decisively picked up a document from the table and handed it to her, "Read it first, and then solve it if there are any difficulties."
Zhou Jiao took it seriously. Since it involved a confidential mission, even if there were any difficulties, they had to be made easy. Of course, if she successfully completed the mission, she could make a small request when receiving the commendation.
Zhou Jiao scanned the document and replied, "No problem. I'll need you to negotiate with the company."
"Of course." Shi Dashen paused and looked at her. "Now I'm not your superior, but as your uncle, I want to ask you a question."
Zhou Jiao blinked, "So serious? Please tell me."
"Are you planning to leave the Planning Commission?"
This old fox probably smelled something again.
Zhou Jiao raised her thin lips slightly, a smile forming on her face. "I am a brick of the revolution. I will patch up wherever there is a need. As long as my superiors give orders, I will resolutely obey."
Shi Dashen smiled meaningfully, "There have been rumors lately that you've started to delegate power to your subordinates."
"You keep believing that? What's the point of talking about power? We all work for the country. If they're capable enough, I'll naturally have to increase the burden."
"Speak human language!"
Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "I've been feeling a bit tired lately and want to rest."
"Would you like to come back and help?"
"Here?"
"So where do you want to go?"
"Hey, you always ask me at the last minute. You have to give me some time to relax."
Zhou Jiao did not give a definite answer. Not only was the time not right, but changing units was not an easy matter. She had to discuss it with her father and Zhang Guoqing before making a decision.
Even though she already had a plan or two in mind, she had to ask for their opinions first out of respect for them.
"Okay, think about it carefully." Shi Dashen said nothing more.
That night.
Zhou Jiao told her father-in-law and son-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing that she would be on a business trip to Jiang Province in a while.
Sure enough, her father had already received the news in advance.
However, this wasn't a particularly dangerous mission; it was just a means of overseeing the situation, and no one, including Zhang Guoqing, objected. For him, as long as his wife was in China, he could at least protect her if anything happened.
After confirming this matter, Zhou Jiao hesitated for a moment and decided not to mention the issue of whether to transfer at work for the time being. After all, these things could not be rushed.
There was one more thing she needed to communicate with them.
Zhou Xiaozheng looked at her, hesitant to speak, glanced at his son-in-law, and asked, "Anything else?"
Zhou Jiao nodded, pondering her words.
Zhang Guoqing looked at her, wondering what else she hadn't discussed with him. "Wife, just tell me. Dad and I will support you if there's anything."
Zhou Jiao glanced at him, smiled, and then looked at Zhou Xiaozheng, "Dad, I might need to use a large sum of money. Including the cash on hand at home, I have to raise 50,000 in the name of my master."
Zhou Xiaozheng asked with interest: "Are you brave enough? Go ahead and play, it's all yours anyway."
"Dad~"
Ouch, his daughter deliberately stretched out her voice. Zhou Xiaozheng really couldn't stand it. He immediately sat up straight and said with a smile: "Okay, Dad will listen carefully, you say it."
Zhou Jiao looked at him speechlessly, "Why don't you ask me how much money I'm going to use? If my family goes bankrupt, how much will be left?"
Well, Zhou Xiaozheng had never really paid attention to this problem. His daughter Jiaojiao was a money-grubber, so it was hard to lose her. At this moment, he had no choice but to cooperate with her. "How much is left?"
The careless tone of the words made Zhou Jiao so angry that she rolled her eyes, "I didn't count!"
Zhou Xiaozheng burst out laughing. Seeing that she was about to explode with anger, he immediately cleared his throat and asked, "Have you contacted Xiaoming again?"
That's right! I can finally talk properly.
Zhou Jiao immediately moved her stool closer to him, "Dad, did you guess it? To be honest, I want to give Xiao Ming full authority. He has Lawyer Xue by his side, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"First, give me a rough estimate of the funds."
