Of course, Zhou Kai was not polite to those who were stubborn, he unceremoniously expelled a disobedient student, and no one dared to challenge his bottom line from then on.

That afternoon, when Niu Xiaoqiang was working on documents in his office, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Today, it was Yu Simei's turn to follow Niu Xiaoqiang to learn management experience, and she took the lead in picking up the earpiece: "This is the secretary's office of Asia Machinery Factory, who are you?"

"I'm Zhou Hongbao from Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery, please ask Secretary Niu to answer the phone. ”

Yu Simei had seen Zhou Hongbao and knew that Zhang Guangmao's previous secretary had become the director of Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery, she didn't dare to slack off, and pressed the earpiece after agreeing: "It's a call from Director Zhou of Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery, he has something to look for you." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, took the earpiece and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, how are you doing lately?"

Zhou Hongbao's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "It's not bad, speaking of which, uncle would like to thank you, if you weren't in Zhang Shu." Help me talk in front of me, I won't take over his shift so easily. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said politely: "Look at what you said, we didn't need to be so angry before, we are all our own people, what are you polite?"

Zhou Hongbao laughed: "Blame me, blame me, it's me who is too outward." ”

After a few polite words between the two, Niu Xiaoqiang went straight to the point: "Uncle Zhou, what are you looking for me?"

Zhou Hongbao's tone was a little embarrassed: "Uncle has something to ask you again." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, not very disgusted by this. Zhou Hongbao once gave him a pair of imperial green bracelets, which are worth a lot of money, even if you don't look at the friendship between the two, this generous gift alone makes Niu Xiaoqiang unable to refuse Zhou Hongbao.

"If there is anything you say, I will do my best to do what I can. ”

"Then I can say it, I have an old friend who found me and asked me to help him solve the matter of the child studying abroad, I am an old comrade-in-arms with him, and I really can't erase my face, so I can only beg you with a cheeky face, Xiaoqiang, no matter whether this matter can be done or not, please come to the city, I want you to make it clear to him in person, lest he think I am perfunctory to him. ”

It can be heard that Zhou Hongbao's intention to ask for help is not so strong, he hopes that Niu Xiaoqiang can help him deal with this problem. The most feared thing between old friends is to have pimples, and many times it is because of some small misunderstandings.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "No problem, I'm not very busy in the past two days, I can go to the city." ”

Zhou Hongbao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, call me before you leave, I'll pick you up at the dock." ”

"No need to call again, I'll be over tomorrow. ”

"Okay, we'll see you at noon tomorrow at the docks. ”

As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang hung up the phone, Yu Simei couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to the city tomorrow?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Well, Director Zhou asked me for a favor, I can't refuse, Sister Yu, please tell my third sister and Xiaoshuang, just say that I will come back the day after tomorrow at the earliest, let them come to work again the day after tomorrow." ”

Yu Simei snorted, "Then you pay attention to safety." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, I'm going to do something, not to fight, there will be no danger." ”

Yu Simei nodded and stopped talking.

Early the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang came to the dock and took a passenger ferry to Qingjiang City.

When the passenger ship arrived at Qingjiang Wharf, Niu Xiaoqiang saw Zhou Hongbao waiting for him by the wharf.

Since this time it was a private matter, Zhou Hongbao did not bring any entourage. He greeted Xiao Young with a smile, and only then did he get into the car and get down to business: "Xiaoqiang, uncle knows that this matter is not easy to handle, if you can't do it, help me explain it to the other party, lest he complain that I don't help him." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said curiously: "Uncle Zhou, I have always been curious about a question, why did the other party ask you for help?"

Zhou Hongbao looked embarrassed: "Speaking of which, it's all my fault for being cheap, once when I was drinking with him, I talked about Xiaolan's study abroad, and praised you fiercely, who knew that the speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, after so long, he actually came to the door and asked me to help him send his child to study abroad. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "Since you don't want to get involved in this matter, why don't you just refuse him?"

Zhou Hongbao said helplessly: "I am from the same village as him, and I got along well when I was a child, and later joined the army at the same time, and I was also assigned to the same transport brigade in the army, how can I refuse such a relationship directly?"

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang understand: "So that's what happened." ”

Zhou Hongbao started the car: "People are waiting for the two of us in the hotel, without further ado, let's hurry up to the banquet." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't expect the other party to be so anxious, he came to help Zhou Hongbao today, so he naturally wanted to follow Zhou Hongbao, so he didn't say anything.

The car was moving very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it stopped in front of a rather imposing-looking hotel.

There were two people standing at the door of the hotel, and Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be stunned as soon as he got off the car. The other party also saw him, and they didn't expect to meet Niu Xiaoqiang here, so they couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhou Hongbao didn't recognize them, and when he saw the big eyes of both sides, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqiang, are they your acquaintances?"

Niu Xiaoqiang came back to his senses at this time, and he nodded slightly: "It's an acquaintance, two, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet here." ”

These two people are Liu Xue and Yang Pan, neither of them looks down on Niu Xiaoqiang very much, and in the face of Niu Xiaoqiang's greeting, they just nodded slightly, which can be regarded as coping with the past.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled self-deprecatingly, no longer bothered the two, and followed Zhou Hongbao into the door of the hotel.

Zhou Hongbao led Niu Xiaoqiang into a private room, not long after they sat down, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the toilet, walked quickly to the door of the hotel, and beckoned to Yang Pan: "Son, let's go to the box and wait for your Uncle Zhou." ”

Yang Pan agreed, and took Liu Xue and his father to the second floor.

His father stretched out his hand to open the door of the box, and at a glance saw Zhou Hongbao and Niu Xiaoqiang sitting inside, only to see him immediately smile all over his face: "Hongbao, when did you arrive? Why didn't I see you? This should be the prodigy you told me last time, hello, my name is Yang Jing, if you don't dislike it, call me Uncle Yang." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang called Uncle Yang very politely, and as soon as the two said hello, Yang Pan and Liu Xue walked in.

Niu Xiaoqiang was slightly stunned, and then understood everything, only to see him smile and say, "Yo, let's meet again so soon." ”
