Public examination landing guide
Chapter 4 Devil Special Training 3564
able to get together.Especially the juniors like Gu Tao, who are all working or studying in other places, and seldom go back to Changzhou once.Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable to have a "Ten Classic Cross-examinations of Relatives".
"Jiahui will be a junior next year. Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination or find a job?" Gu Tao's second aunt, Gu Hao's mother, is the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and she cares most about the children's learning.
Gu Jiahui said: "It's better for me to study in graduate school for my major. It's hard to find a job after an undergraduate degree."
Huang Xin said: "Jia Hui has good grades, so she can study abroad."
Gu Jiahui's mother said: "It's up to her whether she wants to study or not, but I'm still a little worried about going abroad. Haven't you watched the news reports on TV? During this period of time, many things have happened to international students abroad."
Wang Shufen also nodded in agreement: "We don't have any relatives abroad, so it's not safe for a girl to go out alone without anyone to take care of her." Then she specifically instructed: "It's a good thing for Jiahui to study more, but you should find a boyfriend early, don't worry about it." Delayed age."
Aunt Gu Tao nodded and said, "Mom is right, I will pay attention."
When the second aunt saw Gu Hao took out his mobile phone to look at it again, she couldn't help nagging her son: "You should play less on your mobile phone a day, and this time I will replace you with new glasses, and the left eye has swelled by more than 100 degrees. Just now I thought Say you, as soon as you get home, you sit on the sofa and play mobile games."
"Got it, mom, are you annoying?" Gu Hao curled his lips impatiently and put the phone away.
Gu Tao's second uncle and Gu Yaoguo had a few drinks, then turned around and asked about Gu Tao's recent situation: "I heard that Gu Tao has been taking the public exam this year, how is it?"
Gu Tao said: "I have just passed the written test for the National Examination, and I will participate in the interview after the next year."
Wang Shufen doesn't worry much about Gu Tao's job. With Gu's family relationship, is she afraid that she won't be able to find a good job?What worries her the most right now is Gu Tao's personal marital problems.
"Boss, I know that you and Huang Xin are usually very busy, but no matter how busy you are, you still have to care about your child's lifelong affairs. Gu Tao is not young anymore, he is almost thirty. Not long ago, the old secretary Fang Daxing had great-grandchildren at home. .”
Wang Shufen paused, pointed to Gu Tao's uncles and aunts, and said, "You are all elders, so you should help your elder nephew more. If there is a suitable girl in your work unit or a friend's house, you can introduce them to Gu Tao. If I take care of myself, it can be regarded as my filial piety."
Gu Yaoguo's four brothers and sisters looked at each other in tacit understanding, nodded and responded to their mother's request, and then you said something, and I said this, and the topic changed.
Although the matter of Bai Jingyi was kept from Wang Shufen all the time, the rest of the family more or less knew some inside information. During that time, Gu Tao was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Helped a lot.
Although Gu Tao was cured later, his attitude towards the opposite sex was a bit unpredictable.It is said that he doesn't like women, but Gu Tao can be said to be very gentlemanly to the girls around him. In recent years, there are quite a few girls from relatives and friends who like him overtly or secretly.Said he had no problem, Gu Tao refused to call the girls around him, and the elders of the Gu family tried to introduce him, but he politely declined.
For this matter, even Gu Yaoguo consulted several psychiatrists in private.The doctor said that Gu Tao had suffered certain psychological trauma during adolescence after all, which may have affected his sexuality to a certain extent, and if he was forced too much, it would stimulate him again.
Gu Yaoguo and Huang Xin had lingering fears about their son's mental breakdown.At first it was difficult to sleep every day, Gu Tao quickly lost weight and became depressed, like a drug addict. Later, he took a large amount of hormone drugs during the treatment, and his whole body began to become puffy again.
Several people in charge of the family gathered together to discuss, and finally decided to let nature take its course in Gu Tao's marriage. If he didn't want to get married, he wouldn't get married. At worst, he would go abroad to find a surrogate. .
Everyone watched the New Year's Eve until the early morning, and when the Spring Festival Gala was over, the last wave of fireworks outside was almost crackling, and the elders couldn't stand it anymore, and went to rest one after another.
Young people are night owls, and it's okay to stay up all night.Gu Hao and Gu Jiahui each have a laptop, one is playing games, and the other is watching dramas.
Gu Tao is no longer a student, he has his own social relationships to maintain.In addition to chatting with the elders on New Year's Eve, he spends the whole night routinely answering and calling for New Year greetings and sending and receiving red envelopes-every year, nothing new.
He also casually sent a red envelope to the public examination group in Yuzhou, and soon there was a series of system messages about grabbing the red envelope, one of which was "Mohan received your red envelope" which made Gu Tao pause for a while. He thought for a while, and finally He went to the balcony on the second floor with his mobile phone and dialed Xu Jinghan's number.
When the phone rang, Xu Jinghan was washing dishes. He quickly wiped his hands with a towel, pressed the call button, and said with a smile, "Hey, Gu Tao, Happy Chinese New Year!"
Hearing Xu Jinghan's voice, Gu Tao Junyi showed a trace of tenderness on his face: "Happy Spring Festival Jinghan! I just saw you were still grabbing red envelopes in the public examination group. It's almost one o'clock. Why aren't you sleeping? Your family Is it necessary to stay up all night to keep the year old?
"No, my parents went to bed at eleven o'clock, and I was washing the dishes." The fireworks and firecrackers outside Xu Jinghan's residential area were still ringing, he walked to the end of the kitchen, closed the door of the living balcony, and the room was suddenly quiet Quite a lot.
"How do you usually spend Chinese New Year's Eve?" Gu Tao suddenly thought that Xu Jinghan was also the only son in his family. Although he wanted Xu Jinghan to go back home with him to celebrate the New Year, if the relationship between the two is really approved by both families, when the time comes Maybe the two families took turns, so he was very curious about what the Xu family usually does during the Chinese New Year.
Xu Jinghan said: "Our family's Chinese New Year is actually nothing special. After the death of grandparents, our family of three will celebrate New Year's Eve by ourselves. We prepare New Year's Eve dinner during the day, eat dumplings at noon, and watch the Spring Festival Gala with hot pot at night. Visiting relatives, how about your house?"
The temperature on the terrace was very low, and Gu Tao couldn't help but tugged at his collar: "On the [-]th day, my father and three brothers will take their wives and children to grandma's house to celebrate the New Year. My sister-in-law sometimes spends here, and most of the time I go back to my hometown with my uncle. The New Year’s Eve dinner is currently hosted by my grandma, but I’m afraid my mother and a few aunts will be in charge in the future. In the evening, I will eat, play cards, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and call New Year’s greetings. There are many family contacts, and some important old friends will come to visit for New Year’s greetings.”
……
The two chatted about family matters until Xu Jinghan yawned on the other end of the phone. Gu Tao realized that more than an hour had passed unknowingly. He reluctantly told the other party to go to bed early, and then the two said good night to each other. .
Now Gu Tao finally understands why those young couples could chat on the phone for hours when they were in college.Couples in love always want to be together all the time, even if they listen to each other's voice on the phone, they feel heavy satisfaction in their hearts.
It had been less than 48 hours since he and Xu Jinghan separated, but Gu Tao was already secretly looking forward to the early end of the Spring Festival holiday so that he could go back to Yuzhou to see Xu Jinghan.
----
On the third day of junior high school, close relatives of the Xu family gathered in a private room of a local hotel for a reunion dinner.This year happened to be hosted by Xu Jinghan's uncle's family.
These years, Xu Siyuan's family has lived a tight life. Many relatives who were not as good as them are now richer than their family, so Xu Siyuan and Gao Liping are not willing to walk with relatives.
However, this year Xu Jinghan was admitted to be a civil servant in Rongcheng, which made Xu Siyuan and Gao Liping feel very embarrassed, and many relatives came to toast and congratulate him during the dinner.
The uncle of the Xu family held a glass of wine with Xu Siyuan and lightly clinked glasses: "Second brother and younger siblings are lucky. Jing Han was the number one student in the county's college entrance examination back then, and now he has been admitted to the civil servants in Rongcheng. Maybe our family will return to the civil servants in the future." Can make a high official."
Xu Siyuan said modestly: "Brother, you are too high-minded, this kid is just trying to make a living, trying to be safe."
The third aunt Xu Jinghan touched the bright red shawl on Gao Liping's shoulders, and said enviously, "Where did sister-in-law buy this shawl? It's so beautiful! It's made of cashmere, so it must be very expensive!"
As soon as Gao Liping took her seat today, the smile on her face never broke. When she heard her sister-in-law complimenting her shawl, she deliberately made a helpless expression and said, "Jing Han bought this, and I told him that it was an imported product." How many times don't spend money indiscriminately, this kid just won't listen."
Seeing these relatives who don't see each other twice a year flattering each other, you praise me for my good hair, and I praise your child for being obedient, Xu Jinghan suddenly felt very boring.
As the focus of everyone's attention today, Xu Jinghan still cheered up and toasted each table of relatives one by one. After eating two casual dishes, he found an excuse and went to the lobby of the hotel to get some fresh air.
Although the atmosphere was very lively during the banquet, Xu Jinghan felt a little lonely in his heart.
He would rather stay at home in Yuzhou, watching TV on Gu Tao's lap.
☆, cut melons and vegetables
Gu Tao was eager to return home, but in the end he couldn’t wait for the long Spring Festival holiday to officially end. He took the high-speed train back to Yuzhou one day earlier, and arrived at the door of his house after traveling for two hours. He was about to take out his key to open the door—the door suddenly opened from the inside was pushed away.
Gu Tao: "..."
Xu Jinghan: "..."
Gu Tao and Xu Jinghan looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.
"You... why are you back?" Xu Jinghan was holding a bag of trash in his hand and was about to take it out and throw it away.
Gu Tao grinned: "I missed you so I came back early. How about you? Why don't you spend more time with your parents at home?"
"Me? Well... I'll come back early to clean up."
Xu Jinghan didn't want to stay in his hometown and make false claims with those relatives, so he returned to Yuzhou early, and he also wanted to see Gu Tao sooner.
Gu Tao didn't care that Xu Jinghan was still holding a garbage bag in his hand, and leaned forward to kiss his forehead lightly. His warm and moist lips parted with Xu Jinghan's slightly cool forehead.
Before Xu Jinghan could react, Gu Tao grabbed the plastic bag in his hand, turned around and strode to the stairs, threw the garbage bag away, and then quickly turned back.
Gu Tao put his long arms around Xu Jinghan's shoulders and said, "It's cold outside, let's go inside."
The next day, Xu Jinghan got up from the big bed in the second bedroom early in the morning, quickly dressed and washed, and then walked lightly to the kitchen to make breakfast.
The fried egg is sandwiched between two slices of toast, and the fried egg is covered with a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon, and then placed in the oven, and the temperature and time are set.Heat two cups of milk in the microwave, then wash your hands and turn around to go to the master bedroom to wake Gu Tao up.
"Gu Tao wake up and don't go to sleep, I've made breakfast, get up and wash up and have breakfast." Xu Jinghan stood by the master bedroom door and shouted a few times.
Gu Tao remained motionless, lying flat on the bed with his limbs wide open.Xu Jinghan sighed helplessly, walked to the bed and was about to shake him awake.
Gu Tao turned over, half-closed his eyes, yawned, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing so early in the cold weather, and I have nothing to do. Be good, Jing Han, come and sleep with me for a while." Said He moved back and gave up half of the bed to Xu Jinghan.
"What does it mean to have nothing to do? You still have to practice the interview." Xu Jinghan took a few steps to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the master bedroom, and pulled open the curtains.
A ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the clean glass and slanted into the room, making Gu Tao's eyes ache.
Gu Tao instinctively wanted to raise the quilt to block the light, but he heard Xu Jinghan say coldly, "If you don't get up again, I'll turn off the air conditioner and open the windows to let you blow in the cold air to refresh your mind."
"Don't, don't, can't I get up?" Gu Taoxu lifted the quilt with eyes, revealing his naked and strong upper body, sat on the bed in a daze for a few seconds, then got out of bed and rustled his clothes, He also muttered: "Our wife and adults have the final say, get up as soon as you say."
An hour later, Gu Tao was sitting on the computer chair in the study room. He dug out a book of real interview questions and said to Jing Han who was sitting on the other side of the desk: "Actually, there is nothing to worry about in the interview. When it comes to appearance, manners, and conversation, How many people do you think can surpass me in the public examination?"
"Don't get too excited, the interview is not just about face. Besides, if you are not No.1 in the written test, then you must not only get the first place in the interview, but also get as high a score as possible to counterattack."
Xu Jinghan mercilessly poured cold water on Gu Tao.He has always adhered to the "careful sailing of ten thousand years", even if he is very sure, he will never take it lightly.
Gu Tao didn't take it seriously, and smiled sternly: "It's still Jing Han who has eyesight and knows that I have a good-looking face. In this case, you can arrange how to review."
Aiming at problems such as Gu Tao’s insufficient accumulation of ancient philosophies and weak political theories, Xu Jinghan sorted out some ancient famous sayings that are often quoted by officials and current political hotspots. He asked Gu Tao to read aloud every morning, and then accompanied him to do simulation exercises in the afternoon.
In order to protect Gu Tao's voice, Chef Xu rejected anything with the word "pepper", whether it was chili pepper, Chinese prickly ash, green pepper, or pepper. Savory, sweet and sour.
Not only in terms of food, Xu Jinghan is also very particular about drinking water. Every morning, he will only make a cup of coffee for Gu Tao, and in the afternoon, he will drink white chrysanthemum, mangosteen, and honeysuckle in water.
These days, Gu Tao, who loves spicy food, complains endlessly. One day, taking the opportunity of going out to wash the car alone, he ran to the supermarket like a thief and bought a few packs of spicy strips and spicy beef jerky to satisfy his cravings.
Fortunately, this dull day did not last long, and Gu Tao finally made it to the interview.
The night before departure, Gu Tao opened the cabinet in the cloakroom where formal dresses were hung, and picked out a suit of a decent color and style to try on.
Xu Jinghan on the side looked at it for a long time before suffocating: "Are you going to wear this suit to the interview?"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Gu Tao buttoned his coat, turned around and looked at the silhouette in the mirror, and said, "Is it because I gained weight during the Chinese New Year, and my clothes don't look right?"
"No, it's very suitable." Xu Jinghan paused and said, "Do you have a slightly more low-key formal suit? This one looks too ostentatious."
In Xu Jinghan's previous working environment, he rarely had the opportunity to wear formal clothes, but he is a person who pays great attention to details. In order to meet the interview, he also bought two suits, so it can be seen that Gu Tao's outfit is probably expensive.In addition, Gu Tao himself has a very strong aura, if he uses hair gel to wipe his hair twice, he can really go on TV and act as a domineering president.
This is completely inconsistent with the moderation of public officials.
Gu Tao spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said innocently: "This is already the cheapest of all my black suits. There is no way, because gold will shine anyway, even if you put me in a suit worth a few hundred yuan Here, still stand out from the crowd."
"..." Xu Jinghan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, trying to resist the urge to smack Gu Tao's face with his slippers.
But it's not unreasonable for Gu Tao to inflate himself to the point of exploding.
On the day of the interview, Xu Jinghan and Gu Tao arrived outside the examination room ahead of time, and there were already many candidates waiting to enter.
It is undeniable that girls are generally stronger than boys in terms of test-taking ability, and the vast majority of candidates who can enter the interview are women.
Gu Tao was wearing a suit and a black overcoat and stood beside the cordon of the examination room, immediately attracting the attention of the crowd.Xu Jinghan, who was standing beside him, also received a lot of gazes by the way, making Xu Jinghan lower his head uncomfortably, and raised his glasses to hide his uneasiness.
Gu Tao himself didn't care, he was used to it, but he knew that Xu Jinghan didn't like being stared at, so he said very considerately: "It's still chilly outside in the morning, why don't you go back to the hotel first?"
Xu Jinghan was about to say "yes".
"Handsome guy, are you here for the interview too? Which unit did you apply for?" A girl with a ponytail and formal attire stepped forward to strike up a conversation, her expression full of confidence.
Gu Tao said the name of the unit neatly. The position he applied for this time is said to be on the night shift, so it is only for men.The girl in front of him was obviously not his competitor.
Not far away, two or three girls were also eager to try when they saw this, and slowly surrounded Gu Tao.
Xu Jinghan glanced at the surrounding situation, and said calmly, "I'd better wait until you enter the examination room before going back to the hotel."
Gu Tao's ears moved, and he caught a hint of "I'm not happy" from Xu Jinghan's calm tone. His brain started quickly, and he completed a whole set of procedures of "I examine myself three times a day", and instantly understood Xu Jinghan's words. Reason for displeasure.
If you don't hurry up and show your loyalty at this time, I'm afraid I will kneel on the washboard and sleep on the sofa when I get home.
—— Gu Tao was confused in his mind, couldn't help but shivered, and decisively declined the requests of several girls to add WeChat.
Entering the examination room, drawing lots, waiting, and answering, these procedures were mentioned by Xu Jinghan no less than ten times within a week.Even though Gu Tao participated in the interview for the first time, he didn't feel anything new about the whole process.
Formally entering the answering session, the first question is a comprehensive analysis as usual, and he actually tested an ancient philosophy that Xu Jinghan explained to him.
The moment the examiner finished reading the question, Gu Tao, who had always been very calm, couldn't help being excited, and then secretly rejoiced that if Xu Jinghan hadn't told him the meaning of this sentence in classical Chinese, he wouldn't even understand the question. Let alone answering.
The subsequent interpersonal relationship questions were a piece of cake for Gu Tao. There were only those kinds of question routines, and Xu Jinghan had already thoroughly analyzed the pitfalls and test points.
The only surprising thing about this interview was that there was a scene simulation topic, which required an impromptu speech.After obtaining the examiner's consent, Gu Tao stood up and opened his mouth for a while.
The whole 4-minute speech did not get stuck in the slightest. The logical level was clear, and the thick voice moved up and down according to the emotional needs. It was full of passion and appeal, and the examiners in front of them could not help but nod frequently.
In the end, Gu Tao smiled, bowed politely to the examiner again and left.
Outside the examination room, Gu Tao waited for a while, and soon a staff member handed Gu Tao a small report card.
85.7 points!This time it's safe to go ashore!
Gu Tao walked out of the examination room excitedly, wanting to share the good news with Xu Jinghan who was waiting for the news.
Outside the gate of the examination room, Gu Tao handed the score slip to Xu Jinghan, then took the overcoat from Xu Jinghan's hand and changed into it.
When Xu Jinghan saw the score on the grade slip, he couldn't believe it. There were less than ten characters on a small slip of paper, and he read it several times.
"How is it, am I amazing?"
"Yeah, it's amazing!" Xu Jinghan nodded vigorously, and his big bright eyes were cracked into a smile.
Gu Tao put on his clothes, looked down at Xu Jinghan's eyes, and said sincerely in a gentle voice: "Jing Han, you are even better! Just by myself, I can only score 80 points at most, and the most critical 5.7 points in the back are all It’s all thanks to you. Thank you so much for reviewing with me during this time.”
Xu Jinghan was a little embarrassed by Gu Tao's rare and humble attitude: "...Why are you so polite all of a sudden? In fact, you are willing to learn it yourself, so you don't need to thank me."
On the way back to the hotel, Gu Tao explained the interview situation to Xu Jinghan in detail, and at the end he said with emotion indiscriminately: "There is a good wife in the family, and the husband will not suffer any misfortunes. Thanks to Xu Jinghan, you took me to review carefully, so I can today Cut melons and vegetables in the interview field, and beat the competition with a big score."
Xu Jinghan gave Gu Tao a blank look: "Don't quote the ancient texts indiscriminately, can this sentence be used like this?"
Little did they know, Gu Tao's momentary joke turned out to be a prophecy.
☆, suddenly the turmoil
"Sir, you have a good eye. This rose gold bracelet is a new product this year. The hollowed-out technique is very unique. It is very popular with girls. Are you going to buy it as a gift for your girlfriend?"
Inside the cupboard, Gu Tao couldn't help but take a second look at a gold bracelet with powder in it. The clerk at the side saw it, and immediately came up to introduce it enthusiastically.
Fan Xiaoxue's birthday is coming soon, Gu Tao took Xu Jinghan to the mall to pick out gifts.
Before Gu Tao could open his mouth, Xu Jinghan said with a blank expression: "We are in love with each other, are you sure this style is for Xiaoxue?"
"Where can it be?" Gu Tao instinctively sensed that the matter of choosing a gift for a girl was likely to become a proposition, and his strong desire to survive made him decide that it is better to make a quick decision.
Looking around for a week, Gu Tao was really dazzled by the dazzling array of jewelry and hand accessories in the store. He simply asked the clerk: "I'm just giving it to ordinary friends. Are there any jewelry suitable for young girls that don't have this kind of love meaning?"
The sales lady looked at Gu Tao, then at Xu Jinghan, all kinds of unsuitable plots flashed in her mind, and she showed a smile that I understood very well.
"Then you can take a look at our new bracelets this season. There are three series and 27 types of beads, which can be matched as you like."
In the end, Gu Tao selected four burgundy beads to string together as Fan Xiaoxue's birthday present.
When he got home, Xu Jinghan first took out the fresh vegetables and fruits he bought from the shopping bag, and took them to the kitchen to sort and put them away.Then I went back to the living room, intending to take a rest before making dinner.
As soon as he walked to the sofa, Gu Tao handed him a bag: "I bought it for you."
Xu Jinghan opened it and saw that it was the latest iPhone: "Why do you suddenly think of buying me a mobile phone?"
Gu Tao sat down on the sofa, patted the seat next to him, and signaled Xu Jinghan to sit beside him.
Xu Jinghan took the unopened mobile phone box and sat down.
Gu Tao stretched out his long arms to rest on the sofa cushions behind Xu Jinghan: "I've always wanted to buy you a gift, but I don't know what you like. It just happened that the battery of your mobile phone is dead, so I bought you a new one."
Xu Jinghan's domestic thousand yuan machine has been used for almost three years.He never uses his mobile phone to play games, and he has very few apps installed, so he does not have high requirements for the performance of his mobile phone.However, after a long time, the battery obviously can't support it. Even if I only answer calls every day and use navigation occasionally, the battery can't last for a day. I have to carry a power bank wherever I go.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tao could notice such a trivial matter. Xu Jinghan felt warm in his heart, and smiled in his clear eyes, "It's almost enough to buy a domestic mobile phone. I don't play with mobile phones very much, so I don't need to buy such expensive ones."
Gu Tao helped Xu Jinghan unpack the phone, and muttered, "When buying things for my wife, I naturally have to pick the right ones."
Passing the mobile phone to Xu Jinghan, Gu Tao paused and continued: "In the future, when you are in the unit, the things you use should be neither too high-profile nor too shabby. Now many units have a lot of people, but not many people, especially those who need Retired old people basically don’t do anything, and you will inevitably be treated as a coolie when you first go.”
"I know this, but what does it have to do with the mobile phone I use?" Xu Jinghan also heard many people complain about the situation Gu Tao mentioned in the public examination forum.
"Your immediate leader is only a sub-department at most. He can neither decide your promotion nor fire you. You can do more or less when you eat public meals. You can only rely on 'painting big cakes' to coax young people to work more. People with good family conditions generally don’t eat this kind of thing. If you squeeze too much, you may overturn the table and drop the pick. Therefore, these middle-level cadres like to hand over the hard work to those young people who have no background, poor family conditions, and want to get ahead. It’s also called ‘training and exercise’. If you spend a little more on food and clothing than your salary, people will know that your family’s economic conditions are good, and your parents can help you a little bit.”
Gu Tao is very familiar with the routines in the system, and he constantly imparts experience to Xu Jinghan: "You still have to do the work that is assigned to you on weekdays, but if you often push other people's affairs to you, don't hold back. You should pat the table. Don’t be too polite when you’re in trouble. No leader wants to piss people off for official business, once you explode once, no matter what his thoughts are, he won’t dare to squeeze you easily in the future.”
Xu Jinghan was taken aback by Gu Tao's "mixed unit theory", and it took him a long time to spit out: "As expected of a family of three generations of civil servants, with so much knowledge, you might be able to do well here. "
"On the contrary, I am the least suitable for the system. It is easier to know than to do, and I might turn against these old things in minutes." Gu Tao said it very fiercely, and his demeanor was indeed quite calm and breezy. Bending down, he picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.
----
On the weekend, Gu Tao dragged Xu Jinghan to Fan Xiaoxue's birthday party, which was actually just a dinner appointment with a group of friends.
When women reach a certain age, they are particularly sensitive to the growth of age, and they don't have much interest in celebrating birthdays.It can't be compared with the student days at all.In the past, every time Fan Xiaoxue celebrated her birthday, she would have a party, drinking, karaoke, playing cards, playing games... she could stay up all night.
According to the practice of the past few years, Fan Xiaoxue invited Fa Xiao from Changzhou and some close colleagues from Yuzhou, and Gao Cheng was also invited this time.
In Fan Xiaoxue's circle of friends, even if they weren't as familiar as those gangsters in Changzhou, they were more or less familiar.Only Xu Jinghan and Gao Cheng were new friends, and Fan Xiaoxue introduced them one by one.
People flock together, and things divide into groups. Fan Xiaoxue makes friends based on her right temper. Everyone present can chat with each other regardless of whether they are familiar or not.
Su Yue looked at Zhang Qian's round belly and said, "Sissy, when is your due date?"
Zhang Qian rubbed her stomach with a maternal radiance on her face: "The doctor said the end of next month."
Fan Xiaoxue smiled and said, "It will be easy when the goods are unloaded next month."
Zhang Qian shook her head: "How can it be easy, there are so many things to worry about! I am now contacting foreign students to help buy milk powder. Recently I heard that the vaccines given to children are not safe. Wang Yi is also asking if he can You can’t take your children to Hong Kong for injections.”
Having said that, everyone's topic suddenly turned to a recent case of accepting bribes from medical representatives in a city hospital.
Gao Cheng said: "I also know about this case. A director of the Cardiac Surgery Department of the city hospital was arrested. It is said that the medical representatives spent several million yuan to invite him to give lectures in the name of academic exchanges, and even arranged for a group of key doctors to go abroad for inspection." , which is actually a luxury tour.”
"The wool came from the sheep, and now the hospital is really screwed." Xu Rui looked like the proletariat hated the bourgeoisie: "I went to have two teeth filled last week, and a thousand oceans will be gone."
During the dinner, Su Yue went to the bathroom and happened to meet Zhang Qian who was there, and the two women couldn't help gossiping by the sink.
Su Yue said: "Sissy, Xiaoxue broke up with that scumbag, is there anything new going on recently?"
Zhang Qian looked blank: "What new trend?"
Su Yue approached Zhang Qian's ear, and lowered her voice, "Did she have a new boyfriend? It's that Gao Cheng."
"No way, didn't Xiaoxue always like men with thin, tall, awl-faced faces like cartoon characters? To be honest, this Gao Cheng can't compare with that scumbag in appearance, and he is a bit short." Zhang Qian finished washing He took out a tissue from his bag, wiped his hands and said.
Su Yue disapproved: "Everyone is subject to change. Xiaoxue used to only look at people's faces. After suffering a big loss, maybe she changed her taste? Besides, what's the use of a man just being handsome. This Gao Cheng, I am in Chang I have heard about it in Yuzhou, and I have opened a law firm, which is very famous in Yuzhou's lawyer circle."
Zhang Qian had a trace of concern on her face: "Lawyers are very smart. If you have time, you should talk to Xiaoxue and let her pay more attention. Let's go, we have left the table for a while."
Fan Xiaoxue's birthday party was a group of young people drinking casually.Except for a toast to the birthday star at the opening, no one tried their best to persuade them to drink.If so, Gu Tao was a little excited to see a few old friends who went to work in Changzhou. He drank a few more drinks with them, and couldn't sleep when he went back at night, so he took Xu Jinghan to have an in-depth exchange of exercises before going to bed.
Since the two of them finished the whole set a few days ago, Gu Tao is like a kid addicted to a new game, wishing he could drag Xu Jinghan to bed together every day.
However, Gu Tao was a novice and had no rules, so Xu Jinghan couldn't get out of bed the next day, so he shut Gu Tao out with a dark face.Gu Tao said that he had to "study hard and practice hard" if his skills were poor, and he made up for 3 G teaching videos, and Xu Jinghan reluctantly agreed to let him "test the truth through practice".
The two drank and tossed until late at night, and slept until noon the next day.
When receiving a call from Fan Xiaoxue, Gu Tao had just finished brushing his teeth, yawned and said in a low voice, "What's the matter calling now, girl?"
On the phone, Fan Xiaoxue's voice was a little anxious: "Brother Tao, something big happened. Two days ago, someone broke the news on Weibo that the national exam interview was shady, and even posted your national exam interview scores and Uncle Gu's job." Information. Said that you are a related household, so the examiner gave such a high interview score."
"Who tm is a related household? Do I need to travel so far to S province to rely on my relationship? This online revelation is really mindless." Gu Tao couldn't help but burst out.
Fan Xiaoxue said: "I checked, and the first thing that broke the news on Weibo was a Sanwu trumpet, which didn't attract much attention, but it was reposted by several big v's a few days ago, and even @ Changzhou Disciplinary Committee and several Influential media, now it has been retweeted over a million times on the Internet, and the matter has already fermented, I'm afraid you have to remind Uncle Gu."
"Thank you, I'll go take a look now." Gu Tao hung up Fan Xiaoxue's call, and received calls and text messages from Xu Rui, Wang Yi, and some other friends one after another.
Gu Tao realized the seriousness of the situation, so he didn't dare to procrastinate, so he hurried to the study and turned on the computer Baidu.Sure enough, all kinds of information on the Internet has been overwhelming, and even several national newspapers have called on the relevant departments to investigate as soon as possible on their official Weibo, so as to give the public an explanation.
Gu Tao pondered for a while, and decided to call his father first, but there was no one answering the phone, and Gu Tao's expression became serious.
"Gu Tao's lunch is ready, come and eat." Xu Jinghan finished the lunch, walked into the study and called Gu Tao to eat.
Gu Tao stepped forward and kissed Xu Jinghan's forehead lightly, and said softly, "You eat first, I'm in a hurry right now, don't worry about me."
☆, treacherous
Unable to contact Gu Yaoguo, Gu Tao suppressed the bad feeling in his heart, and called his mother Huang Xin instead, and the call was connected soon.
"Mom, my dad over there—"
Before Gu Tao could finish speaking, Huang Xin said firmly, "It seems that you know everything about the Internet."
"Don't you know it's such a big fuss?"
Distraught, Gu Tao rubbed his unruly hair, and said, "Several friends have called to ask about the situation this morning. I also called my dad just now, but no one answered."
"Your dad was called to talk early this morning. It may not be convenient for you to answer the phone." Although there was a lot of noise on the Internet, Huang Xin still kept a flattering tone, and did not forget to comfort his son: "Don't worry, our family is here There is no illegal operation in your public examination. It’s just that the Internet is so fierce now that the organization will inevitably investigate the routine of the conversation.”
Huang Xin's words did not ease Gu Tao's tense nerves at all, and the brows were still tightened: "Mom, I am not a child, you don't have to coax me. Although the online condemnation is caused by the exam, but once If the higher-ups come to investigate, how can they only investigate this matter? I am afraid that they will have to dig out all the old accounts from the past."
Huang Xin listened, and smiled slightly on the other end of the phone: "It seems that your father has not taught you in vain all these years, and you know a lot about these twists and turns. Don't worry, the back door of the exam is not about wearing a watch, living in a house, etc. Economic issues such as big villas, you don’t have to find out something to quell public opinion. Besides, your grandfather can still speak in the territory of C province, and the Gu family is deeply rooted in Changzhou. Your father will not be concerned about this Small things are pushed out as outcasts."
Huang Xin's words can be regarded as the confession of the Gu family's trump card.
However, there are too many variables in online public opinion. I don’t know who picked up two famous cars under Gu Tao’s name and posted them on the Internet. The people who eat melons are like adding a small spoonful of water to a hot oil pan, and they immediately exploded. All of a sudden, this incident made it to the top ten of the hot search list.
This is anxious to the relevant departments of Changzhou and Yangcheng.At the beginning, everyone still had a fluke mentality, hoping that the incident would cool down naturally through cold treatment.But after this matter was listed on the hot search for two days
"Jiahui will be a junior next year. Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination or find a job?" Gu Tao's second aunt, Gu Hao's mother, is the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and she cares most about the children's learning.
Gu Jiahui said: "It's better for me to study in graduate school for my major. It's hard to find a job after an undergraduate degree."
Huang Xin said: "Jia Hui has good grades, so she can study abroad."
Gu Jiahui's mother said: "It's up to her whether she wants to study or not, but I'm still a little worried about going abroad. Haven't you watched the news reports on TV? During this period of time, many things have happened to international students abroad."
Wang Shufen also nodded in agreement: "We don't have any relatives abroad, so it's not safe for a girl to go out alone without anyone to take care of her." Then she specifically instructed: "It's a good thing for Jiahui to study more, but you should find a boyfriend early, don't worry about it." Delayed age."
Aunt Gu Tao nodded and said, "Mom is right, I will pay attention."
When the second aunt saw Gu Hao took out his mobile phone to look at it again, she couldn't help nagging her son: "You should play less on your mobile phone a day, and this time I will replace you with new glasses, and the left eye has swelled by more than 100 degrees. Just now I thought Say you, as soon as you get home, you sit on the sofa and play mobile games."
"Got it, mom, are you annoying?" Gu Hao curled his lips impatiently and put the phone away.
Gu Tao's second uncle and Gu Yaoguo had a few drinks, then turned around and asked about Gu Tao's recent situation: "I heard that Gu Tao has been taking the public exam this year, how is it?"
Gu Tao said: "I have just passed the written test for the National Examination, and I will participate in the interview after the next year."
Wang Shufen doesn't worry much about Gu Tao's job. With Gu's family relationship, is she afraid that she won't be able to find a good job?What worries her the most right now is Gu Tao's personal marital problems.
"Boss, I know that you and Huang Xin are usually very busy, but no matter how busy you are, you still have to care about your child's lifelong affairs. Gu Tao is not young anymore, he is almost thirty. Not long ago, the old secretary Fang Daxing had great-grandchildren at home. .”
Wang Shufen paused, pointed to Gu Tao's uncles and aunts, and said, "You are all elders, so you should help your elder nephew more. If there is a suitable girl in your work unit or a friend's house, you can introduce them to Gu Tao. If I take care of myself, it can be regarded as my filial piety."
Gu Yaoguo's four brothers and sisters looked at each other in tacit understanding, nodded and responded to their mother's request, and then you said something, and I said this, and the topic changed.
Although the matter of Bai Jingyi was kept from Wang Shufen all the time, the rest of the family more or less knew some inside information. During that time, Gu Tao was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Helped a lot.
Although Gu Tao was cured later, his attitude towards the opposite sex was a bit unpredictable.It is said that he doesn't like women, but Gu Tao can be said to be very gentlemanly to the girls around him. In recent years, there are quite a few girls from relatives and friends who like him overtly or secretly.Said he had no problem, Gu Tao refused to call the girls around him, and the elders of the Gu family tried to introduce him, but he politely declined.
For this matter, even Gu Yaoguo consulted several psychiatrists in private.The doctor said that Gu Tao had suffered certain psychological trauma during adolescence after all, which may have affected his sexuality to a certain extent, and if he was forced too much, it would stimulate him again.
Gu Yaoguo and Huang Xin had lingering fears about their son's mental breakdown.At first it was difficult to sleep every day, Gu Tao quickly lost weight and became depressed, like a drug addict. Later, he took a large amount of hormone drugs during the treatment, and his whole body began to become puffy again.
Several people in charge of the family gathered together to discuss, and finally decided to let nature take its course in Gu Tao's marriage. If he didn't want to get married, he wouldn't get married. At worst, he would go abroad to find a surrogate. .
Everyone watched the New Year's Eve until the early morning, and when the Spring Festival Gala was over, the last wave of fireworks outside was almost crackling, and the elders couldn't stand it anymore, and went to rest one after another.
Young people are night owls, and it's okay to stay up all night.Gu Hao and Gu Jiahui each have a laptop, one is playing games, and the other is watching dramas.
Gu Tao is no longer a student, he has his own social relationships to maintain.In addition to chatting with the elders on New Year's Eve, he spends the whole night routinely answering and calling for New Year greetings and sending and receiving red envelopes-every year, nothing new.
He also casually sent a red envelope to the public examination group in Yuzhou, and soon there was a series of system messages about grabbing the red envelope, one of which was "Mohan received your red envelope" which made Gu Tao pause for a while. He thought for a while, and finally He went to the balcony on the second floor with his mobile phone and dialed Xu Jinghan's number.
When the phone rang, Xu Jinghan was washing dishes. He quickly wiped his hands with a towel, pressed the call button, and said with a smile, "Hey, Gu Tao, Happy Chinese New Year!"
Hearing Xu Jinghan's voice, Gu Tao Junyi showed a trace of tenderness on his face: "Happy Spring Festival Jinghan! I just saw you were still grabbing red envelopes in the public examination group. It's almost one o'clock. Why aren't you sleeping? Your family Is it necessary to stay up all night to keep the year old?
"No, my parents went to bed at eleven o'clock, and I was washing the dishes." The fireworks and firecrackers outside Xu Jinghan's residential area were still ringing, he walked to the end of the kitchen, closed the door of the living balcony, and the room was suddenly quiet Quite a lot.
"How do you usually spend Chinese New Year's Eve?" Gu Tao suddenly thought that Xu Jinghan was also the only son in his family. Although he wanted Xu Jinghan to go back home with him to celebrate the New Year, if the relationship between the two is really approved by both families, when the time comes Maybe the two families took turns, so he was very curious about what the Xu family usually does during the Chinese New Year.
Xu Jinghan said: "Our family's Chinese New Year is actually nothing special. After the death of grandparents, our family of three will celebrate New Year's Eve by ourselves. We prepare New Year's Eve dinner during the day, eat dumplings at noon, and watch the Spring Festival Gala with hot pot at night. Visiting relatives, how about your house?"
The temperature on the terrace was very low, and Gu Tao couldn't help but tugged at his collar: "On the [-]th day, my father and three brothers will take their wives and children to grandma's house to celebrate the New Year. My sister-in-law sometimes spends here, and most of the time I go back to my hometown with my uncle. The New Year’s Eve dinner is currently hosted by my grandma, but I’m afraid my mother and a few aunts will be in charge in the future. In the evening, I will eat, play cards, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and call New Year’s greetings. There are many family contacts, and some important old friends will come to visit for New Year’s greetings.”
……
The two chatted about family matters until Xu Jinghan yawned on the other end of the phone. Gu Tao realized that more than an hour had passed unknowingly. He reluctantly told the other party to go to bed early, and then the two said good night to each other. .
Now Gu Tao finally understands why those young couples could chat on the phone for hours when they were in college.Couples in love always want to be together all the time, even if they listen to each other's voice on the phone, they feel heavy satisfaction in their hearts.
It had been less than 48 hours since he and Xu Jinghan separated, but Gu Tao was already secretly looking forward to the early end of the Spring Festival holiday so that he could go back to Yuzhou to see Xu Jinghan.
----
On the third day of junior high school, close relatives of the Xu family gathered in a private room of a local hotel for a reunion dinner.This year happened to be hosted by Xu Jinghan's uncle's family.
These years, Xu Siyuan's family has lived a tight life. Many relatives who were not as good as them are now richer than their family, so Xu Siyuan and Gao Liping are not willing to walk with relatives.
However, this year Xu Jinghan was admitted to be a civil servant in Rongcheng, which made Xu Siyuan and Gao Liping feel very embarrassed, and many relatives came to toast and congratulate him during the dinner.
The uncle of the Xu family held a glass of wine with Xu Siyuan and lightly clinked glasses: "Second brother and younger siblings are lucky. Jing Han was the number one student in the county's college entrance examination back then, and now he has been admitted to the civil servants in Rongcheng. Maybe our family will return to the civil servants in the future." Can make a high official."
Xu Siyuan said modestly: "Brother, you are too high-minded, this kid is just trying to make a living, trying to be safe."
The third aunt Xu Jinghan touched the bright red shawl on Gao Liping's shoulders, and said enviously, "Where did sister-in-law buy this shawl? It's so beautiful! It's made of cashmere, so it must be very expensive!"
As soon as Gao Liping took her seat today, the smile on her face never broke. When she heard her sister-in-law complimenting her shawl, she deliberately made a helpless expression and said, "Jing Han bought this, and I told him that it was an imported product." How many times don't spend money indiscriminately, this kid just won't listen."
Seeing these relatives who don't see each other twice a year flattering each other, you praise me for my good hair, and I praise your child for being obedient, Xu Jinghan suddenly felt very boring.
As the focus of everyone's attention today, Xu Jinghan still cheered up and toasted each table of relatives one by one. After eating two casual dishes, he found an excuse and went to the lobby of the hotel to get some fresh air.
Although the atmosphere was very lively during the banquet, Xu Jinghan felt a little lonely in his heart.
He would rather stay at home in Yuzhou, watching TV on Gu Tao's lap.
☆, cut melons and vegetables
Gu Tao was eager to return home, but in the end he couldn’t wait for the long Spring Festival holiday to officially end. He took the high-speed train back to Yuzhou one day earlier, and arrived at the door of his house after traveling for two hours. He was about to take out his key to open the door—the door suddenly opened from the inside was pushed away.
Gu Tao: "..."
Xu Jinghan: "..."
Gu Tao and Xu Jinghan looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.
"You... why are you back?" Xu Jinghan was holding a bag of trash in his hand and was about to take it out and throw it away.
Gu Tao grinned: "I missed you so I came back early. How about you? Why don't you spend more time with your parents at home?"
"Me? Well... I'll come back early to clean up."
Xu Jinghan didn't want to stay in his hometown and make false claims with those relatives, so he returned to Yuzhou early, and he also wanted to see Gu Tao sooner.
Gu Tao didn't care that Xu Jinghan was still holding a garbage bag in his hand, and leaned forward to kiss his forehead lightly. His warm and moist lips parted with Xu Jinghan's slightly cool forehead.
Before Xu Jinghan could react, Gu Tao grabbed the plastic bag in his hand, turned around and strode to the stairs, threw the garbage bag away, and then quickly turned back.
Gu Tao put his long arms around Xu Jinghan's shoulders and said, "It's cold outside, let's go inside."
The next day, Xu Jinghan got up from the big bed in the second bedroom early in the morning, quickly dressed and washed, and then walked lightly to the kitchen to make breakfast.
The fried egg is sandwiched between two slices of toast, and the fried egg is covered with a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon, and then placed in the oven, and the temperature and time are set.Heat two cups of milk in the microwave, then wash your hands and turn around to go to the master bedroom to wake Gu Tao up.
"Gu Tao wake up and don't go to sleep, I've made breakfast, get up and wash up and have breakfast." Xu Jinghan stood by the master bedroom door and shouted a few times.
Gu Tao remained motionless, lying flat on the bed with his limbs wide open.Xu Jinghan sighed helplessly, walked to the bed and was about to shake him awake.
Gu Tao turned over, half-closed his eyes, yawned, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing so early in the cold weather, and I have nothing to do. Be good, Jing Han, come and sleep with me for a while." Said He moved back and gave up half of the bed to Xu Jinghan.
"What does it mean to have nothing to do? You still have to practice the interview." Xu Jinghan took a few steps to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the master bedroom, and pulled open the curtains.
A ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the clean glass and slanted into the room, making Gu Tao's eyes ache.
Gu Tao instinctively wanted to raise the quilt to block the light, but he heard Xu Jinghan say coldly, "If you don't get up again, I'll turn off the air conditioner and open the windows to let you blow in the cold air to refresh your mind."
"Don't, don't, can't I get up?" Gu Taoxu lifted the quilt with eyes, revealing his naked and strong upper body, sat on the bed in a daze for a few seconds, then got out of bed and rustled his clothes, He also muttered: "Our wife and adults have the final say, get up as soon as you say."
An hour later, Gu Tao was sitting on the computer chair in the study room. He dug out a book of real interview questions and said to Jing Han who was sitting on the other side of the desk: "Actually, there is nothing to worry about in the interview. When it comes to appearance, manners, and conversation, How many people do you think can surpass me in the public examination?"
"Don't get too excited, the interview is not just about face. Besides, if you are not No.1 in the written test, then you must not only get the first place in the interview, but also get as high a score as possible to counterattack."
Xu Jinghan mercilessly poured cold water on Gu Tao.He has always adhered to the "careful sailing of ten thousand years", even if he is very sure, he will never take it lightly.
Gu Tao didn't take it seriously, and smiled sternly: "It's still Jing Han who has eyesight and knows that I have a good-looking face. In this case, you can arrange how to review."
Aiming at problems such as Gu Tao’s insufficient accumulation of ancient philosophies and weak political theories, Xu Jinghan sorted out some ancient famous sayings that are often quoted by officials and current political hotspots. He asked Gu Tao to read aloud every morning, and then accompanied him to do simulation exercises in the afternoon.
In order to protect Gu Tao's voice, Chef Xu rejected anything with the word "pepper", whether it was chili pepper, Chinese prickly ash, green pepper, or pepper. Savory, sweet and sour.
Not only in terms of food, Xu Jinghan is also very particular about drinking water. Every morning, he will only make a cup of coffee for Gu Tao, and in the afternoon, he will drink white chrysanthemum, mangosteen, and honeysuckle in water.
These days, Gu Tao, who loves spicy food, complains endlessly. One day, taking the opportunity of going out to wash the car alone, he ran to the supermarket like a thief and bought a few packs of spicy strips and spicy beef jerky to satisfy his cravings.
Fortunately, this dull day did not last long, and Gu Tao finally made it to the interview.
The night before departure, Gu Tao opened the cabinet in the cloakroom where formal dresses were hung, and picked out a suit of a decent color and style to try on.
Xu Jinghan on the side looked at it for a long time before suffocating: "Are you going to wear this suit to the interview?"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Gu Tao buttoned his coat, turned around and looked at the silhouette in the mirror, and said, "Is it because I gained weight during the Chinese New Year, and my clothes don't look right?"
"No, it's very suitable." Xu Jinghan paused and said, "Do you have a slightly more low-key formal suit? This one looks too ostentatious."
In Xu Jinghan's previous working environment, he rarely had the opportunity to wear formal clothes, but he is a person who pays great attention to details. In order to meet the interview, he also bought two suits, so it can be seen that Gu Tao's outfit is probably expensive.In addition, Gu Tao himself has a very strong aura, if he uses hair gel to wipe his hair twice, he can really go on TV and act as a domineering president.
This is completely inconsistent with the moderation of public officials.
Gu Tao spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said innocently: "This is already the cheapest of all my black suits. There is no way, because gold will shine anyway, even if you put me in a suit worth a few hundred yuan Here, still stand out from the crowd."
"..." Xu Jinghan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, trying to resist the urge to smack Gu Tao's face with his slippers.
But it's not unreasonable for Gu Tao to inflate himself to the point of exploding.
On the day of the interview, Xu Jinghan and Gu Tao arrived outside the examination room ahead of time, and there were already many candidates waiting to enter.
It is undeniable that girls are generally stronger than boys in terms of test-taking ability, and the vast majority of candidates who can enter the interview are women.
Gu Tao was wearing a suit and a black overcoat and stood beside the cordon of the examination room, immediately attracting the attention of the crowd.Xu Jinghan, who was standing beside him, also received a lot of gazes by the way, making Xu Jinghan lower his head uncomfortably, and raised his glasses to hide his uneasiness.
Gu Tao himself didn't care, he was used to it, but he knew that Xu Jinghan didn't like being stared at, so he said very considerately: "It's still chilly outside in the morning, why don't you go back to the hotel first?"
Xu Jinghan was about to say "yes".
"Handsome guy, are you here for the interview too? Which unit did you apply for?" A girl with a ponytail and formal attire stepped forward to strike up a conversation, her expression full of confidence.
Gu Tao said the name of the unit neatly. The position he applied for this time is said to be on the night shift, so it is only for men.The girl in front of him was obviously not his competitor.
Not far away, two or three girls were also eager to try when they saw this, and slowly surrounded Gu Tao.
Xu Jinghan glanced at the surrounding situation, and said calmly, "I'd better wait until you enter the examination room before going back to the hotel."
Gu Tao's ears moved, and he caught a hint of "I'm not happy" from Xu Jinghan's calm tone. His brain started quickly, and he completed a whole set of procedures of "I examine myself three times a day", and instantly understood Xu Jinghan's words. Reason for displeasure.
If you don't hurry up and show your loyalty at this time, I'm afraid I will kneel on the washboard and sleep on the sofa when I get home.
—— Gu Tao was confused in his mind, couldn't help but shivered, and decisively declined the requests of several girls to add WeChat.
Entering the examination room, drawing lots, waiting, and answering, these procedures were mentioned by Xu Jinghan no less than ten times within a week.Even though Gu Tao participated in the interview for the first time, he didn't feel anything new about the whole process.
Formally entering the answering session, the first question is a comprehensive analysis as usual, and he actually tested an ancient philosophy that Xu Jinghan explained to him.
The moment the examiner finished reading the question, Gu Tao, who had always been very calm, couldn't help being excited, and then secretly rejoiced that if Xu Jinghan hadn't told him the meaning of this sentence in classical Chinese, he wouldn't even understand the question. Let alone answering.
The subsequent interpersonal relationship questions were a piece of cake for Gu Tao. There were only those kinds of question routines, and Xu Jinghan had already thoroughly analyzed the pitfalls and test points.
The only surprising thing about this interview was that there was a scene simulation topic, which required an impromptu speech.After obtaining the examiner's consent, Gu Tao stood up and opened his mouth for a while.
The whole 4-minute speech did not get stuck in the slightest. The logical level was clear, and the thick voice moved up and down according to the emotional needs. It was full of passion and appeal, and the examiners in front of them could not help but nod frequently.
In the end, Gu Tao smiled, bowed politely to the examiner again and left.
Outside the examination room, Gu Tao waited for a while, and soon a staff member handed Gu Tao a small report card.
85.7 points!This time it's safe to go ashore!
Gu Tao walked out of the examination room excitedly, wanting to share the good news with Xu Jinghan who was waiting for the news.
Outside the gate of the examination room, Gu Tao handed the score slip to Xu Jinghan, then took the overcoat from Xu Jinghan's hand and changed into it.
When Xu Jinghan saw the score on the grade slip, he couldn't believe it. There were less than ten characters on a small slip of paper, and he read it several times.
"How is it, am I amazing?"
"Yeah, it's amazing!" Xu Jinghan nodded vigorously, and his big bright eyes were cracked into a smile.
Gu Tao put on his clothes, looked down at Xu Jinghan's eyes, and said sincerely in a gentle voice: "Jing Han, you are even better! Just by myself, I can only score 80 points at most, and the most critical 5.7 points in the back are all It’s all thanks to you. Thank you so much for reviewing with me during this time.”
Xu Jinghan was a little embarrassed by Gu Tao's rare and humble attitude: "...Why are you so polite all of a sudden? In fact, you are willing to learn it yourself, so you don't need to thank me."
On the way back to the hotel, Gu Tao explained the interview situation to Xu Jinghan in detail, and at the end he said with emotion indiscriminately: "There is a good wife in the family, and the husband will not suffer any misfortunes. Thanks to Xu Jinghan, you took me to review carefully, so I can today Cut melons and vegetables in the interview field, and beat the competition with a big score."
Xu Jinghan gave Gu Tao a blank look: "Don't quote the ancient texts indiscriminately, can this sentence be used like this?"
Little did they know, Gu Tao's momentary joke turned out to be a prophecy.
☆, suddenly the turmoil
"Sir, you have a good eye. This rose gold bracelet is a new product this year. The hollowed-out technique is very unique. It is very popular with girls. Are you going to buy it as a gift for your girlfriend?"
Inside the cupboard, Gu Tao couldn't help but take a second look at a gold bracelet with powder in it. The clerk at the side saw it, and immediately came up to introduce it enthusiastically.
Fan Xiaoxue's birthday is coming soon, Gu Tao took Xu Jinghan to the mall to pick out gifts.
Before Gu Tao could open his mouth, Xu Jinghan said with a blank expression: "We are in love with each other, are you sure this style is for Xiaoxue?"
"Where can it be?" Gu Tao instinctively sensed that the matter of choosing a gift for a girl was likely to become a proposition, and his strong desire to survive made him decide that it is better to make a quick decision.
Looking around for a week, Gu Tao was really dazzled by the dazzling array of jewelry and hand accessories in the store. He simply asked the clerk: "I'm just giving it to ordinary friends. Are there any jewelry suitable for young girls that don't have this kind of love meaning?"
The sales lady looked at Gu Tao, then at Xu Jinghan, all kinds of unsuitable plots flashed in her mind, and she showed a smile that I understood very well.
"Then you can take a look at our new bracelets this season. There are three series and 27 types of beads, which can be matched as you like."
In the end, Gu Tao selected four burgundy beads to string together as Fan Xiaoxue's birthday present.
When he got home, Xu Jinghan first took out the fresh vegetables and fruits he bought from the shopping bag, and took them to the kitchen to sort and put them away.Then I went back to the living room, intending to take a rest before making dinner.
As soon as he walked to the sofa, Gu Tao handed him a bag: "I bought it for you."
Xu Jinghan opened it and saw that it was the latest iPhone: "Why do you suddenly think of buying me a mobile phone?"
Gu Tao sat down on the sofa, patted the seat next to him, and signaled Xu Jinghan to sit beside him.
Xu Jinghan took the unopened mobile phone box and sat down.
Gu Tao stretched out his long arms to rest on the sofa cushions behind Xu Jinghan: "I've always wanted to buy you a gift, but I don't know what you like. It just happened that the battery of your mobile phone is dead, so I bought you a new one."
Xu Jinghan's domestic thousand yuan machine has been used for almost three years.He never uses his mobile phone to play games, and he has very few apps installed, so he does not have high requirements for the performance of his mobile phone.However, after a long time, the battery obviously can't support it. Even if I only answer calls every day and use navigation occasionally, the battery can't last for a day. I have to carry a power bank wherever I go.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tao could notice such a trivial matter. Xu Jinghan felt warm in his heart, and smiled in his clear eyes, "It's almost enough to buy a domestic mobile phone. I don't play with mobile phones very much, so I don't need to buy such expensive ones."
Gu Tao helped Xu Jinghan unpack the phone, and muttered, "When buying things for my wife, I naturally have to pick the right ones."
Passing the mobile phone to Xu Jinghan, Gu Tao paused and continued: "In the future, when you are in the unit, the things you use should be neither too high-profile nor too shabby. Now many units have a lot of people, but not many people, especially those who need Retired old people basically don’t do anything, and you will inevitably be treated as a coolie when you first go.”
"I know this, but what does it have to do with the mobile phone I use?" Xu Jinghan also heard many people complain about the situation Gu Tao mentioned in the public examination forum.
"Your immediate leader is only a sub-department at most. He can neither decide your promotion nor fire you. You can do more or less when you eat public meals. You can only rely on 'painting big cakes' to coax young people to work more. People with good family conditions generally don’t eat this kind of thing. If you squeeze too much, you may overturn the table and drop the pick. Therefore, these middle-level cadres like to hand over the hard work to those young people who have no background, poor family conditions, and want to get ahead. It’s also called ‘training and exercise’. If you spend a little more on food and clothing than your salary, people will know that your family’s economic conditions are good, and your parents can help you a little bit.”
Gu Tao is very familiar with the routines in the system, and he constantly imparts experience to Xu Jinghan: "You still have to do the work that is assigned to you on weekdays, but if you often push other people's affairs to you, don't hold back. You should pat the table. Don’t be too polite when you’re in trouble. No leader wants to piss people off for official business, once you explode once, no matter what his thoughts are, he won’t dare to squeeze you easily in the future.”
Xu Jinghan was taken aback by Gu Tao's "mixed unit theory", and it took him a long time to spit out: "As expected of a family of three generations of civil servants, with so much knowledge, you might be able to do well here. "
"On the contrary, I am the least suitable for the system. It is easier to know than to do, and I might turn against these old things in minutes." Gu Tao said it very fiercely, and his demeanor was indeed quite calm and breezy. Bending down, he picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.
----
On the weekend, Gu Tao dragged Xu Jinghan to Fan Xiaoxue's birthday party, which was actually just a dinner appointment with a group of friends.
When women reach a certain age, they are particularly sensitive to the growth of age, and they don't have much interest in celebrating birthdays.It can't be compared with the student days at all.In the past, every time Fan Xiaoxue celebrated her birthday, she would have a party, drinking, karaoke, playing cards, playing games... she could stay up all night.
According to the practice of the past few years, Fan Xiaoxue invited Fa Xiao from Changzhou and some close colleagues from Yuzhou, and Gao Cheng was also invited this time.
In Fan Xiaoxue's circle of friends, even if they weren't as familiar as those gangsters in Changzhou, they were more or less familiar.Only Xu Jinghan and Gao Cheng were new friends, and Fan Xiaoxue introduced them one by one.
People flock together, and things divide into groups. Fan Xiaoxue makes friends based on her right temper. Everyone present can chat with each other regardless of whether they are familiar or not.
Su Yue looked at Zhang Qian's round belly and said, "Sissy, when is your due date?"
Zhang Qian rubbed her stomach with a maternal radiance on her face: "The doctor said the end of next month."
Fan Xiaoxue smiled and said, "It will be easy when the goods are unloaded next month."
Zhang Qian shook her head: "How can it be easy, there are so many things to worry about! I am now contacting foreign students to help buy milk powder. Recently I heard that the vaccines given to children are not safe. Wang Yi is also asking if he can You can’t take your children to Hong Kong for injections.”
Having said that, everyone's topic suddenly turned to a recent case of accepting bribes from medical representatives in a city hospital.
Gao Cheng said: "I also know about this case. A director of the Cardiac Surgery Department of the city hospital was arrested. It is said that the medical representatives spent several million yuan to invite him to give lectures in the name of academic exchanges, and even arranged for a group of key doctors to go abroad for inspection." , which is actually a luxury tour.”
"The wool came from the sheep, and now the hospital is really screwed." Xu Rui looked like the proletariat hated the bourgeoisie: "I went to have two teeth filled last week, and a thousand oceans will be gone."
During the dinner, Su Yue went to the bathroom and happened to meet Zhang Qian who was there, and the two women couldn't help gossiping by the sink.
Su Yue said: "Sissy, Xiaoxue broke up with that scumbag, is there anything new going on recently?"
Zhang Qian looked blank: "What new trend?"
Su Yue approached Zhang Qian's ear, and lowered her voice, "Did she have a new boyfriend? It's that Gao Cheng."
"No way, didn't Xiaoxue always like men with thin, tall, awl-faced faces like cartoon characters? To be honest, this Gao Cheng can't compare with that scumbag in appearance, and he is a bit short." Zhang Qian finished washing He took out a tissue from his bag, wiped his hands and said.
Su Yue disapproved: "Everyone is subject to change. Xiaoxue used to only look at people's faces. After suffering a big loss, maybe she changed her taste? Besides, what's the use of a man just being handsome. This Gao Cheng, I am in Chang I have heard about it in Yuzhou, and I have opened a law firm, which is very famous in Yuzhou's lawyer circle."
Zhang Qian had a trace of concern on her face: "Lawyers are very smart. If you have time, you should talk to Xiaoxue and let her pay more attention. Let's go, we have left the table for a while."
Fan Xiaoxue's birthday party was a group of young people drinking casually.Except for a toast to the birthday star at the opening, no one tried their best to persuade them to drink.If so, Gu Tao was a little excited to see a few old friends who went to work in Changzhou. He drank a few more drinks with them, and couldn't sleep when he went back at night, so he took Xu Jinghan to have an in-depth exchange of exercises before going to bed.
Since the two of them finished the whole set a few days ago, Gu Tao is like a kid addicted to a new game, wishing he could drag Xu Jinghan to bed together every day.
However, Gu Tao was a novice and had no rules, so Xu Jinghan couldn't get out of bed the next day, so he shut Gu Tao out with a dark face.Gu Tao said that he had to "study hard and practice hard" if his skills were poor, and he made up for 3 G teaching videos, and Xu Jinghan reluctantly agreed to let him "test the truth through practice".
The two drank and tossed until late at night, and slept until noon the next day.
When receiving a call from Fan Xiaoxue, Gu Tao had just finished brushing his teeth, yawned and said in a low voice, "What's the matter calling now, girl?"
On the phone, Fan Xiaoxue's voice was a little anxious: "Brother Tao, something big happened. Two days ago, someone broke the news on Weibo that the national exam interview was shady, and even posted your national exam interview scores and Uncle Gu's job." Information. Said that you are a related household, so the examiner gave such a high interview score."
"Who tm is a related household? Do I need to travel so far to S province to rely on my relationship? This online revelation is really mindless." Gu Tao couldn't help but burst out.
Fan Xiaoxue said: "I checked, and the first thing that broke the news on Weibo was a Sanwu trumpet, which didn't attract much attention, but it was reposted by several big v's a few days ago, and even @ Changzhou Disciplinary Committee and several Influential media, now it has been retweeted over a million times on the Internet, and the matter has already fermented, I'm afraid you have to remind Uncle Gu."
"Thank you, I'll go take a look now." Gu Tao hung up Fan Xiaoxue's call, and received calls and text messages from Xu Rui, Wang Yi, and some other friends one after another.
Gu Tao realized the seriousness of the situation, so he didn't dare to procrastinate, so he hurried to the study and turned on the computer Baidu.Sure enough, all kinds of information on the Internet has been overwhelming, and even several national newspapers have called on the relevant departments to investigate as soon as possible on their official Weibo, so as to give the public an explanation.
Gu Tao pondered for a while, and decided to call his father first, but there was no one answering the phone, and Gu Tao's expression became serious.
"Gu Tao's lunch is ready, come and eat." Xu Jinghan finished the lunch, walked into the study and called Gu Tao to eat.
Gu Tao stepped forward and kissed Xu Jinghan's forehead lightly, and said softly, "You eat first, I'm in a hurry right now, don't worry about me."
☆, treacherous
Unable to contact Gu Yaoguo, Gu Tao suppressed the bad feeling in his heart, and called his mother Huang Xin instead, and the call was connected soon.
"Mom, my dad over there—"
Before Gu Tao could finish speaking, Huang Xin said firmly, "It seems that you know everything about the Internet."
"Don't you know it's such a big fuss?"
Distraught, Gu Tao rubbed his unruly hair, and said, "Several friends have called to ask about the situation this morning. I also called my dad just now, but no one answered."
"Your dad was called to talk early this morning. It may not be convenient for you to answer the phone." Although there was a lot of noise on the Internet, Huang Xin still kept a flattering tone, and did not forget to comfort his son: "Don't worry, our family is here There is no illegal operation in your public examination. It’s just that the Internet is so fierce now that the organization will inevitably investigate the routine of the conversation.”
Huang Xin's words did not ease Gu Tao's tense nerves at all, and the brows were still tightened: "Mom, I am not a child, you don't have to coax me. Although the online condemnation is caused by the exam, but once If the higher-ups come to investigate, how can they only investigate this matter? I am afraid that they will have to dig out all the old accounts from the past."
Huang Xin listened, and smiled slightly on the other end of the phone: "It seems that your father has not taught you in vain all these years, and you know a lot about these twists and turns. Don't worry, the back door of the exam is not about wearing a watch, living in a house, etc. Economic issues such as big villas, you don’t have to find out something to quell public opinion. Besides, your grandfather can still speak in the territory of C province, and the Gu family is deeply rooted in Changzhou. Your father will not be concerned about this Small things are pushed out as outcasts."
Huang Xin's words can be regarded as the confession of the Gu family's trump card.
However, there are too many variables in online public opinion. I don’t know who picked up two famous cars under Gu Tao’s name and posted them on the Internet. The people who eat melons are like adding a small spoonful of water to a hot oil pan, and they immediately exploded. All of a sudden, this incident made it to the top ten of the hot search list.
This is anxious to the relevant departments of Changzhou and Yangcheng.At the beginning, everyone still had a fluke mentality, hoping that the incident would cool down naturally through cold treatment.But after this matter was listed on the hot search for two days
