Chapter 90: No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never get through (please give me a monthly ticket)
A few days have passed. This year's spring came late, but it came very quickly. In a few days, the trees on both sides of Fucheng Street sprouted tender green buds, and the tender green buds were full of vitality. There were also many more fresh wild vegetables in the vegetable market.
Jiang Hanyan bought shepherd's purse several times to make dumplings. Lu Chen kneaded the dough and rolled the dumpling skins, and he also chopped the meat filling. Jiang Hanyan was only responsible for mixing the filling and making the dumplings. The shepherd's purse and fresh meat dumplings were delicious, and almost everyone liked them.
Lu Chen can eat fifty dumplings by himself, and Doudou can eat a dozen. If making dumplings wasn’t too troublesome, they would want to eat them every day.
The construction of the playground was halfway done, and there was no movement from Tang Zhihua, but he was definitely up to something bad. That day, Jiang Hanyan asked Lu Chen to take her to see the principal.
The principal has an independent office. I didn’t recognize them at first because I think people tend to forget things.
"Principal Meng, we are from Bada Company. The playground of your school was contracted and built by our company. More than half of it has been completed, and it will be finished in about ten days. We came here specially to report on the progress of the playground." Jiang Hanyan said with a smile.
"I remember now. You were introduced by Director Tang. We will inspect the playground after it is completed. There is no need to report now."
Principal Meng looked at Lu Chen meaningfully. Tang Zhihua told him a few days ago that the playground must be strictly inspected and inspected, and no money can be given if it is unqualified in any way. He also said that because he introduced it, he cannot bend the law for personal gain.
This is of course just polite talk, but we still have to give Tang Zhihua some face. When the time comes for acceptance, we can delay it a little and not give the money too quickly. Just delay it for half a year.
"We still have to report so that the leaders can know the progress at any time. People say that Principal Meng has high standards, not only for work but also for himself. It is because of Principal Meng's rigorous style of leading by example that he can lead all the teachers and students of No. 1 Middle School to set new records in the college entrance examination every year!"
Jiang Hanyan flattered him without blushing or breathing heavily. Flattery never fails. It was obvious that Principal Meng was not a serious person since he could be on good terms with Tang Zhihua.
Sure enough, Principal Meng's expression softened, he smiled, and said modestly, "No, no, thank you for the compliment!"
"I'm telling the truth. Without the wise leadership of Principal Meng, how could No. 1 Middle School achieve such gratifying results in the college entrance examination? Principal Meng, you really deserve the title!"
Lu Chen twitched his lips and looked mocking. This Principal Meng did not have much talent. He became the principal of No. 1 Middle School by flattering others. The reason why No. 1 Middle School could get good grades was because the best students and teachers were recruited from No. 1 Middle School every year. With the best students and the best teachers, it was difficult to get bad grades.
Jiang Hanyan flattered Principal Meng so much that he was all smiles and became much more easygoing. She then got to the point and said, "I see Principal Meng's face. He will have a successful career, a harmonious family, long-lived parents, and promising children. It is really a very good face."
"Haha, I'm grateful for your words."
The smile on Principal Meng's face deepened. This beautiful woman really knows how to talk. Well, the project payment will be delayed for a month or two.
"But it's still a little bit lacking, Principal Meng. Your parents must be worried, right? You too."
As soon as Jiang Hanyan finished speaking, Principal Meng's expression changed slightly and his eyes became sharp.
He and his parents did have something on their minds, how did this woman know about it? Principal Meng climbed from the grassroots to the principal, and he had been very cautious for decades. He would think about a small matter, even an insignificant word, for several days. Jiang Hanyan suddenly mentioned his family's decades of worry. How could he not think about it? In just a few seconds, Principal Meng thought a lot and suspected that Jiang Hanyan was a spy sent by a competitor to find out the details. This possibility was relatively high, but he couldn't figure it out. Thirty years had passed since the incident in his family, and not many people knew about it. Even his wife and children were unaware of it. How did this woman know about it?
As he thought about it, Principal Meng broke out in a cold sweat. He could even find out such a private matter in his family. Did this rival find out other things? For example, he cheated on his wife a few years ago and continued to have an affair for half a year. Although he had broken up completely, if it was uncovered, it would definitely affect his career.
Have the bribes received over the years also been discovered?
Although Principal Meng looked calm, he was actually in turmoil inside. His palms were sweaty and he stared at Jiang Hanyan intently. He was trying to figure out how to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances and not fall into his opponent's trap.
Jiang Hanyan had no idea that her one sentence would make this guy think of so many things. No wonder he was almost going crazy. How many brain cells must die every day.
"Principal Meng, don't be nervous. You may not know me. My last name is Jiang, and my nickname is Jiang Banxian. I'm quite famous in Fucheng. I'm very good at fortune-telling and physiognomy."
Jiang Hanyan introduced herself like a fortune teller, and Principal Meng felt a little relieved. It turned out that she was a fortune teller.
He was a materialist and of course didn't believe it. He thought Jiang Hanyan must have heard about his family's past from somewhere and came to deceive him on purpose just for the playground project.
Principal Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy to ask for help from others. If he asked him to do something, he would have the initiative and he would have the final say.
"What does Comrade Jiang want to say?" Principal Meng asked in a strange tone. He was a principal, how could he be schemed by a fortune teller? No matter what Jiang Hanyan said, he would not believe it.
Jiang Hanyan smiled and said slowly, "Principal Meng has a younger sister, right? You two have a very good relationship, but unfortunately, your sister got separated from you thirty years ago because of Principal Meng's carelessness. This incident has become a thorn in your heart and has been a worry for your parents for many years. Although they live a wealthy and healthy life, they have always wanted to find their daughter. Am I right?"
Most of it was guessed by her. Principal Meng is now successful and famous, and his parents must be living a good life. The better their living conditions, the greater the regret in their hearts will be, and they will feel more guilty towards their daughter who was separated from them when they were young. Of course, Principal Meng is the same.
Principal Meng's face changed. He straightened his back while leaning against the chair and clenched his fists involuntarily. Jiang Hanyan was right.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Thirty years ago, he was fifteen years old and his sister was five. In the spring, he took his sister to the town to watch the temple fair. He and his sister were ten years apart and had a very good relationship. He remembered his sister's rosy little face and how she would sweetly call him brother. Every time he came home from school, his sister would be the first to run out to greet him.
There is a temple fair in the town every year. There are many stalls and people coming and going, it is very lively. His parents are busy with farm work and have no time to go, so they let him take his sister to the temple fair. Along the way, he held his sister's hand tightly and did not dare to let go.
But halfway through the stroll, he suddenly had diarrhea and couldn't hold it any longer. He couldn't take his sister to the men's room, so he asked his sister to stand at the door of the bathroom while he went to the toilet.
What happened was that when he came out of the toilet, his sister was missing. He looked around the town and asked everyone he saw, but his sister was nowhere to be found.
Recalling the past, Principal Meng closed his eyes painfully. Although thirty years had passed, his sister's rosy little face and big watery eyes seemed to be right in front of him, calling him "brother" sweetly.
If he could turn back time, he would rather poop in his pants than leave his sister alone.
"Principal Meng, your sister is living a good life now and is very successful. In the past thirty years, she has not been far away from you." Jiang Hanyan said.
