Bai Zhe quickly stood up and walked towards the calligraphy and painting.
Sure enough, Bai Zhe could clearly see the name on the signature of the last person.
"Gift from Yuan Fuchun"
Qin Zhongwei explained: "Since we talked with Secretary Yuan, he praised you greatly and specially wrote a picture and gave it to me."
"Although these words come from your mouth, I want to give them to you now and count them as encouragement to you."
As he spoke, he reached out and took off the scroll, rolled it up and handed it into Bai Zhe's hand.
"You two, come to dinner..." Mrs. Qin shouted from the kitchen.
Bai Zhe looked down. When he raised his head, his eyes were already moist.
"Uncle Qin, I..."
Qin Zhongwei raised his hand: "Stop talking, you will understand tonight. Let's go and eat."
Bai Zhe watched Qin Zhongwei turn and leave, feeling extremely moved.
Unexpectedly, the aloof Qin Zhongwei had already noticed the anger in Bai Zhe's heart from across the audience, so he decided to give this calligraphy to him first.
It seems that as the Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, with keen observation skills and a pair of insightful eyes, he is definitely a person who can stand up to the mountains.
Although Bai Zhe was not wrong and was unfairly wronged, Qin Zhongwei seemed to see through Bai Zhe's worrying shortcomings in today's performance.
He is impetuous, eager for quick success, and acts arbitrarily without regard to the feelings of others.
Maybe this kind of personality is suitable for working in Lishui Town, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. But if he is placed in the provincial party committee, in a competition at this level, his shortcomings will be vividly displayed in the eyes of his opponents.
Bai Zhe was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
Arriving at the dinner table, Bai Zhe saw that there were three dishes and one soup on the table, including fried beans, fried meat, cucumbers, and a Chinese toon egg. The bowl was filled with rice wine glutinous rice balls.
Mrs. Qin served Bai Zhe a bowl of rice affectionately and said with a smile: "Bai Zhe, Auntie doesn't know what you like to eat, but fortunately Auntie Zhang told her before she left that it shouldn't be too unpalatable. You should eat more." point."
"It's okay, auntie, this is good. It's all what I like to eat."
Qin Zhongwei had already picked up the bowl and pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks: "It's rare for your aunt to cook in person. If you like it, eat more. There are no outsiders here, so you're welcome."
"good."
Bai Zhe nodded in agreement, and the three of them sat at a dining table and started eating without saying much.
This scene made Bai Zhe feel very comfortable. Although Qin Zhongwei deliberately criticized himself, he also played the responsibility of a father. No matter how many shortcomings Bai Zhe had, he still valued Bai Zhe's potential in his heart.
When she was almost done eating, Mrs. Qin put down the bowl and chopsticks hesitantly, glanced at Qin Zhongwei who was concentrating on eating, and said, "Zhong Wei, how are you going to deal with Bai Zhe's matter?"
[We can’t wait any longer. This stupid boy doesn’t know how to fight. As a mother-in-law, I need to help him more. 】
"How to deal with what?" Qin Zhongwei said casually.
Mrs. Qin glanced at Bai Zhe and simply gave up. After all, she was a woman and it didn't matter if she was criticized by her husband.
"Oh, it's just a matter of my child's grades. If I don't give an explanation, why should I let Bai Zhe be wronged?"
"Aunt!"
Bai Zhe quickly interrupted. He knew that if he didn't speak, he would wait for Qin Zhongwei to get angry.
"Actually, I had my own reasons for my poor results this time, so I just let it go. Everything is in the past."
[If I hadn’t been stubborn to contradict Zhang Donghai, maybe things wouldn’t be so bad. 】
But Mrs. Qin doesn't care about that. She has her own concerns. Besides, from the conversation between the two men just now, she also knows that the results this time are not satisfactory, and it is completely due to someone engaging in malpractice.
Women can't stand this kind of thing the most. Even if Bai Zhe can swallow this breath, she, the mother-in-law, cannot.
"What reason can you have? Right is right and wrong is wrong. Why should you be bullied by evil people?"
"Zhong Wei, you are talking." Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Zhongwei anxiously.
"What did you want me to say?!" Qin Zhongwei put down his chopsticks heavily and looked at Mrs. Qin with majestic eyes.
Shocked by his move, Mrs. Qin whispered: "It's useless for you to get angry. I only know that people are good when they are bullied, and horses are good when others ride on them."
"Hey, are you crazy about wanting to be your mother-in-law?!"
Speaking of her like this in front of Bai Zhe was the most serious thing Qin Zhongwei had ever said to her.
All of a sudden, Mrs. Qin just wanted to cry.
"I'm not doing this for my daughter's happiness. How can you say that to me?"
After saying that, he stood up and turned to the bedroom without looking back.
Looking at his wife's back, Qin Zhongwei sighed heavily.
The two have lived together for nearly thirty years. How could he not understand his wife's temper? She usually speaks in a gentle voice and has never even had a quarrel with him about her daughter.
But just for the sake of my son-in-law, I violated my bottom line twice in a row today.
Turning to look at Bai Zhe, Bai Zhe felt very uncomfortable. His original thought of asking Qin Zhongwei to help him straighten things out disappeared at this moment.
"Uncle Qin, I support your opinion. Forget it, I will work hard to improve myself."
"This matter can't be settled like this!"
Qin Zhongwei slammed the table, stood up, and raised his voice involuntarily, as if he was speaking to Mrs. Qin on purpose.
"This Zhang Donghai is really outrageous. Although the matter has passed, this assessment must have a clear result!"
Immediately Qin Zhongwei walked to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed Qian Shuzhong directly.
"Minister Qin..."
Qin Zhongwei did not give him a chance to say anything else, but interrupted directly: "Old Qian, tomorrow you send Bai Zhe's file to my office. I want to see what went wrong!"
"Okay, Minister Qin."
"Pa." Qin Zhongwei hung up the phone and looked at Bai Zhe.
"Uncle Qin, this matter will affect you."
Hearing Bai Zhe's words, Qin Zhongwei became even more angry and said in a deep voice: "He dares!"
[Li Simin, if I lend him some courage, he doesn’t dare to attack me casually. He is just using you to insinuate me. 】
Don't forget, he has Mr. Ma and Mr. Qin, they are really blatantly fighting against each other. No one can say who will have the last laugh!
"Go and get ready, change your clothes, pick up two bottles of wine and I will take you to visit Yuan Fuchun."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Bai Zhe immediately went upstairs to change clothes, while Qin Zhongwei returned to the bedroom, comforted his wife, and then took out two bottles of Jianghe from the study next to her.
Soon, Bai Zhe put on his dried clothes and walked down the stairs quickly. The two men walked out of the house one after another, leaving Mrs. Qin alone at home.
Mrs. Qin is very self-aware. She knows about men's affairs, but she can't get in the middle of it.
But at the same time, she also knew very well that once Qin Zhongwei was forced to react, a bloody storm would start, making the fluctuations in the officialdom even more unpredictable.
"Hey, everything should be for the happiness of my daughter. Her grandfather loves her so much, I believe he won't be willing to let his precious granddaughter suffer the disadvantage of being mute..."
After walking out of the house, the two of them slowed down.
Bai Zhe followed Qin Zhongwei to the left and took a glance at the father-in-law, who was nearly fifty years old, as if he was seeing his biological father Bai Yong.
Back then, Bai Zhe was a third-grade primary school student. On that weekend afternoon, his father wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb and told himself: "Son, don't be afraid next time someone bullies you. You have to stand up bravely and have a real confrontation with them." Fight with a real gun, if you can't beat me, just shout daddy, and I will appear next to you as soon as I hear an emergency bell."
But after hearing this, there was a blast of fire sirens. Bai Zhe watched his father, dressed in casual clothes, rush to the roadside without hesitation, stop the fire truck, take the helmet thrown by his teammates, and put it on the The fire truck smiled and waved goodbye to him.
From that day on, Bai Zhe never saw his father again. His voice, appearance, and smile all remained on the photo of the urn.
In countless nights when he couldn't see his fingers, even though Bai Zhe shouted countless times in his dreams, his father's figure was always in the sky where he could not touch.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, Bai Zhe never allowed himself to be bullied again, because he knew that if he was timid and showed cowardice, his father's spirit in heaven would never forgive him.
Today, Qin Zhongwei changed his usual cautiousness and prepared to give it a go despite the fire. He was so similar to his father back then.
"You have to remember, don't interrupt casually when you arrive at Secretary Yuan's house. Let me figure out the rest."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Um."
[Before you react, whether you can get a strong help is the key to success or failure...]
Qin Zhongwei then asked Bai Zhe to take the wine and personally knocked on Yuan Fuchun's door.
"Uncle Qin."
It was Yuan Ming who opened the door. When he saw Bai Zhe standing behind Qin Zhongwei, his eyes burst with joy.
"Xiao Ming, your grandpa hasn't rested yet?" Qin Zhongwei walked into the entrance hall with a hearty smile.
"Zhong Wei, I'm waiting for you."
Qin Zhongwei put on his slippers and walked quickly towards the study.
Yuan Ming quickly took the wine from Bai Zhe's hand and smiled at each other.
"Why are you at home? I thought you were drinking with Cao Jie and the others."
Bai Zhe whispered to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, the meeting broke up not long after we went there. We were all there to congratulate Chen Yanan. It's not interesting for us to drink together. We're just coming back."
"Come on, let's sit inside."
Yuan Ming invited Bai Zhe and wanted to invite Bai Zhe to his room for a meeting, but he also knew that Bai Zhe followed Qin Zhongwei with a purpose, so he wisely did not say anything.
"I'll go inside and see Secretary Yuan."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Yuan Ming walked quickly in front, arriving before anyone arrived.
"Grandpa, look who's here to see you."
Yuan Fuchun put down his brush and was about to admire his masterpiece with Qin Zhongwei. Hearing Yuan Ming speak, he raised his head and looked out the door.
"Hello, Uncle Yuan..."
"Oh, isn't this Bai Zhe? Haha, come on, come in."
