638: The director is indeed a bit secretive
The word "Hengzi" stunned everyone.
No one present, including Yu Xiaoye, had ever heard anyone call Zhou Ziheng like that. No one dared to call him that. They all politely called him Director Zhou or Comrade Zhou.
I didn't expect he had a nickname.
It is obvious that Minister Zhao and Zhou Ziheng are old friends and have a very close relationship.
Why haven’t I heard Zhou Ziheng mention this before?
Even Yu Xiaoye didn't know that Zhou Ziheng actually knew Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation.
While everyone was surprised, Zhou Ziheng had already walked forward and shook hands firmly with Minister Zhao Kuanmin.
Zhao Kuanmin held Zhou Ziheng's hand with one hand and his arm with the other, and looked Zhou Ziheng up and down, sighing:
"I haven't seen you for over ten years!"
Zhou Ziheng smiled and said:
"Yes, Minister Zhao, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Please forgive me for not visiting you."
"Didn't we meet today?"
Zhao Kuanmin watched as the naughty boy in his heart grew up into the upright man he is today. He also heard about Zhou Ziheng's experiences over the years, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that more than ten years can make a person change so much.
It was not convenient to talk about the past in front of everyone, so Zhao Kuanmin just admired:
"I really didn't expect you to be willing to take off your military uniform and work on the Beidahuang Farm. It's truly rare."
"Didn't Minister Zhao also take off his military uniform and engage in agriculture?"
"Yes, your father and I were both in the army back then, and now you and I are both in the agricultural reclamation system, which shows that our two families are still connected. Hengzi, you can put aside worldly prejudices and take the initiative to work where the country needs you most, and do such an outstanding job. This is very good!"
Minister Zhao looked deeply moved.
"Minister Zhao, thank you for your praise. I'm just doing my job well."
Zhao Kuanmin turned around and looked at the members of the art troupe surrounding him, and said with a smile:
"Today's show was also very successful. It's true that a strong general has no weak soldiers!"
Zhou Ziheng glanced at Yu Xiaoye with a smile in his eyes:
"This is the result of the hard work of all the members of the art troupe."
Zhao Kuanmin was very pleased to see that the young man who used to be so capable of flying and escaping the earth had now become humble and steady.
"We have a meeting today, so let's get busy with work first. After the meeting is over, we can sit down and talk."
"good."
Zhao Kuanmin patted Zhou Ziheng's hand again and let go.
Then he turned to the members of the art troupe and expressed his appreciation for them:
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your efforts in the literary and artistic work of the agricultural reclamation cause."
"Thank you, Minister Zhao, we don't have to work hard!"
Minister Zhao exchanged a few more pleasantries, then turned around and quickly left the backstage with his accompanying staff.
Yu Xiaoye led the applause to see Minister Zhao off.
After Minister Zhao left, everyone could no longer hold back and cheered together:
"ah!!!!"
"Minister Zhao came to meet us backstage in person!"
"I can brag about it for the rest of my life when I get back!"
Someone else gathered around Zhou Ziheng and asked in surprise:
"Director Zhou, you actually know Minister Zhao?"
In the past, everyone only knew that Director Zhou was from Beijing and had some background, but no one expected that he was an old acquaintance of Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation. It seems that he has a very important background!
Zhou Ziheng did not respond to everyone's discussion. He did not think there was anything special about knowing the Minister of Agriculture and Reclamation. They just knew each other since childhood.
Yu Xiaoye came up to Zhou Ziheng amid everyone's cheers, also looking surprised:
"You actually know Minister Zhao from the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation. Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"
Zhou Ziheng thought for a moment:
"I didn't have much chance to tell you."
Yu Xiaoye: “——” Well, the director is indeed a bit secretive, and I still don’t know him well enough.
At this time, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but touch Yu Xiaoye's head and praised him with a smile:
“You dance so beautifully!”
Yu Xiaoye's eyes narrowed into a line as he smiled, and he was as happy as a primary school student who had scored 100 points in the test.
Zhou Ziheng also said:
"I'll find time to call my sister later and ask her to take you home."
Yu Xiaoye's smile gradually disappeared.
Seeing her nervous look, Zhou Ziheng gently advised:
"It's okay, don't feel any psychological burden. My sister is here, she will take care of you, and my mom is also very easy to get along with, she won't make things difficult for you. Don't be nervous, I will go back when I have time."
At this point, Yu Xiaoye wanted to back out.
The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law, which is more stressful than performing on stage.
Zhou Ziheng pinched her rosy cheek again:
"Don't think too much. Follow Liang Qin back to the guesthouse first. She will make arrangements for you. I still have to go back to a meeting. I'll come back to find you when I have time."
"Well, go ahead and leave me alone."
Yu Xiaoye urged Zhou Ziheng to leave.
Zhou Ziheng then told Liang Qin:
"Director Liang, organize everyone to go back. After you return, you will be given two days of vacation. Two days later, that is, early the morning of the day after tomorrow, everyone will set off for the return trip. No one is allowed to leave the team without reason. Leaving the team without permission will be treated as absenteeism. Disciplinary action will be announced after we return. In addition, you will be responsible for all food, accommodation and travel expenses. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay, let's go back."
After Zhou Ziheng finished his instructions, he returned to the meeting room to continue the meeting.
The people from the art troupe packed up their things and left the hall.
In front of the hall, a male educated youth in the team took out a camera that he had prepared long ago, and everyone happily took a group photo in front of the hall, and took more than a dozen photos, which brought a perfect end to this performance in Beijing.
After taking the photo
The members of the art troupe boarded another bus and returned to the guesthouse.
In accordance with Zhou Ziheng's promise, they were given two days off. During these two days, they could stroll around the capital, and those who lived in the capital could also take the opportunity to go home to visit their relatives.
So as soon as we got back to the guesthouse, everyone rushed out.
Only Yu Xiaoye and Liang Qin stayed in the guesthouse.
Yu Xiaoye had no intention of going out for a stroll. Thinking that he was about to go to Zhou's house, he was in a panic and felt very nervous.
Anyway, I have never been so nervous about performing on stage.
The main thing is that she is an old hand at performing on stage, and practice makes perfect, so she is not nervous.
However, this was the first time I met my future husband's family in my life, and I was completely unsure.
Moreover, she knew that the Zhou family was of high status, and it seemed that it was not just ordinary high status, but probably much higher than she had imagined.
Look at myself again, the child of a farmer or worker, even in my previous life, I was just from an ordinary well-off family, not a wealthy family.
His family background in both lifetimes was completely incompatible with Zhou Ziheng, a son of the Beijing circle. He even wondered how he had deserved to have climbed such a high branch.
In order to ease his panic, Yu Xiaoye took advantage of the fact that no one was in the guesthouse room and returned to the ocean space alone.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she last came back, and almost forgot that she even had such a space.
Sitting on the deck of the yacht and looking at the sea, I gradually felt relaxed.
Just when I was thinking about whether to catch a big fish, I heard someone knocking on the door outside the space:
"Ono, open the door."
It’s Zhou Ziheng!
