I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 85 is too small.

The slight room for negotiation offered by Changshan City Tobacco and Wine Company led Zhang Da'an to decide to slightly adjust the schedule of the vocational training program.

The initial idea was to train "blue-collar" workers first and then "white-collar" workers, because we are about to enter a period of rapid development with a real estate boom and construction everywhere. Therefore, training in various front-line jobs, special operations and other industry skills requires a lot of open space.

So, it's quite worthwhile to do some training while also acquiring some land reserves.

However, this matter requires negotiations with "powerful figures" in Jiangning City, and it will be a long-term process.

Qiu Jianmin reminded him that while the civil engineering industry is expanding rapidly, the development of highways is far less astonishing than that of the "information superhighway."

Computerized office work wasn't proposed this year; it was synchronized with the "Science and Education Revitalizing the Nation Strategy." The next step, synchronized with information-based office work, will be paperless office work.

This made Zhang Da'an feel somewhat "blind to his own shortcomings," so he immediately contacted his Uncle Zhang and asked him to make an appointment with the telecommunications bureau.

The building in the city where "Zhang An Education" is located is currently operating as its administrative headquarters. Zhang Da'an felt that this was a waste, so after inspecting the premises, he made a decisive decision to convert the entire space into a "computer training center."

There was someone at the telecommunications bureau who was a relative of the Zhang family. They used to be distant relatives and didn't keep in touch much. They would only send a wreath when an older generation member passed away; normally, they were just acquaintances who would nod to each other on the street.

Things are different now. The Zhang family uncle and nephew are extremely famous, and their distant relatives are practically as close as their closest relatives.

"Uncle, how did the talks go?"

"It's just a matter of a word."

Uncle Zhang sat smugly in Zhang Da'an's office, sipping tea. He stuffed all the paperwork into a file folder and placed it on the table. "Old Qian is fine, except for being stingy. But he's quite generous this time. His nephew runs a computer shop across from the police station, and he's brought over the supplier list for computer parts. You can contact them yourself, or they can have the supplier's sales representatives come to your office. It's up to you."

“Give his nephew 50,000 yuan as a tea fee.”

Zhang Da'an opened the drawer and took out five stacks of banknotes. Zhang Zhengdong grabbed them and stuffed them into his bag, then said, "Then I'll treat him to a meal on the east side of the pedestrian street. I know you're busy. But I can borrow your A6."

"It's secondhand, you know. Open it up. I'll give you a new one."

"That won't do. Second-hand is fine. We'll have to deal with that old coffin of Director Qiu who's already got his eye on a brand-new one."

"He's the general manager now, what's wrong with him riding in a nicer car?"

"That's different. We have principles."

Uncle Zhang isn't interested in money or power; he believes he doesn't need to work hard, he'll have everything he wants.

You asked him where the 1.8-liter black manual Volkswagen Santana came from?
It was blown in by a strong wind!
"Oh, right, you donated 100,000 yuan when there was a big flood a couple of years ago. Yuzhang University of Finance and Economics has recently been asked by higher authorities to do more educational public welfare work, but the school doesn't have any extra funds. So, an alumnus from the Municipal Finance Bureau asked me to ask you if you could help out."

"It's nothing."

Zhang Da'an casually wrote a note: "Let's donate to a Hope Primary School, named after me, 'Zhang An Hope Primary School,' 500,000 yuan, jointly donated by me and Yuzhang University of Finance and Economics. But we can't just give it away for nothing, so I need to introduce two more experienced accountants. They must be graduates of Yuzhang University of Finance and Economics."

"What?"

“If someone from another finance and economics university gets into trouble, it won’t be a disgrace to Yuzhang University of Finance and Economics. Only someone from Yuzhang University of Finance and Economics will be more carefully chosen by the university itself. They would rather find an honest person than a smart one.”

"Hahaha, that makes sense. Your twisted thinking is truly first-rate..."

Uncle Zhang chuckled, put away the note, and then glanced at Zhang Da'an's attire. "See? I told you I needed a personal assistant. With someone doing the laundry and cleaning, you wouldn't need to run around like this. This outfit of yours looks perfectly ironed. What do you think of the young lady?" "What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? I don't live in the city; I'm back in the countryside."

"Don't give me that nonsense, just tell me if the girl is pretty or not!"

"I didn't look closely."

"Don't you even look at a person's face?!"

Uncle Zhang immediately got angry, "Little coffin, you're different from others. Now that you have a career, you should find a woman to marry and raise a couple of kids so that the old man can hold his great-grandson."

"Why raise two little ones? Young ladies?"

"..."

Speechless, Uncle Zhang turned and left with the 50,000 yuan in his hand. There was nothing more to say to this kind of nephew. However, as he was leaving, he turned back and asked, "Aren't you satisfied with a girl like this? She's the only one this pretty. The actresses we hired last year are no match for her. She's known as 'Little Xi Shi' in the family building."

“I have no problem with ‘Little Xi Shi’, but I do have a problem with Xiao.”

"He is indeed too young. He'll be fine in a couple of years."

"I said my breasts are too small, and I like watermelons, but you insist on telling me oranges are sweet. What's the point?"

"..."

Uncle Zhang slunk away. Although his nephew was a bit of a beast, his personal quirks were understandable.

At this point, we had more or less entered a knowledge gap for Comrade Zhang Zhengdong.

But then again.

What's wrong with men liking big things?!
That night, Uncle Zhang, lying in bed watching TV, was still lost in thought. One hand was behind his head, and his wife's hand was behind hers. Seeing her husband's absent-mindedness, Teacher Li shook him: "Hey, Zhengdong, is something bothering you? And what did Shi Yelu say? Is Zhang An interested? Oh my, only after seeing her in person do you realize how incredibly beautiful she is. It's not just that she looks like Vivian Chow, Vivian Chow looks exactly like her. No wonder everyone in her hometown calls her 'Little Xi Shi,' she truly deserves the title."

“That greyhound Zongsang (the beast) said it was too small.”

"Too young? You can get married in a few years. Just treat it as a blind date, take it slow, and feelings will develop eventually."

"First, Xi Guanzi would never get married; she's just fooling you and the old man. Second, I said 'too young,' not 'young in age.'"

"Huh? Not young? Then what is it?"

Uncle Zhang looked annoyed and reached out to pinch Teacher Li's grandmother, "This."

"..."

Snapped!
Teacher Li raised her hand and slapped Uncle Zhang on the chest.

With the new parameter requirements, selecting the configuration became much simpler. Of course, as Zhang Da'an's aunt, Teacher Li didn't go around telling the world about her nephew's personal quirks.

She now works at Xindongwei Port Middle School every day, and subconsciously avoids people because she feels she is becoming more and more like "Wang Po," and a "Wang Po" who acts as a pimp for Wu Erlang.
