Chapter 29 Each one is defeated
Ma Ming was a little confused about Secretary Pi Yong's heavy responsibility of persuading Jiang Jihong to support the construction of green mines. If Secretary Pi Yong came forward, it would be a matter of one sentence. It would be difficult for him to convince the leader who was stubborn and followed his steps.
However, after thinking about it, Pi Yong's approach is understandable. He should not interfere directly or even win over people and matters spoken by the government.
Ma Ming thought while walking to Jiang Jihong's office door and found that the door was closed. He knocked on it a few times, but there was no response inside and there was no one there.
He was a little disappointed and a little thankful because he had not yet thought about what wording to convince the leader.
Ma Ming came to the Party and Government Office in disappointment. Lei Sheng accompanied the village chief to go to the village. Guan Ping was away from his home. Zheng Xiaodong buried his head in sorting out the secret documents, and Chen Lijuan was busy.
He asked, "Sister Lijuan, do you know where the Township Chief Jiang went?"
"It seems like I'm taking a leave." Chen Lijuan turned her head to look at him and replied, her eyes were very gentle, and she was full of sympathy for his experience.
"good."
When Ma Ming went down to the first floor, he still didn't think about how to tell Jiang Jihong. However, time was urgent and he had to modify the plan, so he bit the bullet and called Jiang Jihong.
"Captain Jiang, when will you go back to the township government? I have something to report."
"It's not that fast. What's the matter? Tell me the phone." Jiang Jihong's tone was a little depressed.
Ma Ming said: "I can't explain the phone clearly. Township Mayor Jiang, where are you? Why don't I find you?"
"I'm in the hospital, it's not very convenient."
"Ah? Are you sick? I should have visited you even more." Ma Ming said hurriedly.
"It's not me, my family." Jiang Jihong said, "You don't need it anymore, wait for me, I'll get to the office early tomorrow."
"It's too late tomorrow." Ma Ming said, "Are you in the county people's hospital? I'll come here right away."
"Oh, you really, what job can't be put until tomorrow?"
"Captain Jiang, please wait for me, I will arrive soon."
After Ma Ming finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Fengfeng rushed to the Party and Government Office and coordinated with Chen Lijuan to arrange for the driver to send him to the entrance of the county people's hospital. He prepared a red envelope of 500 yuan, bought fruit and milk from the fruit store in front of the hospital, and carried it into the hospital. He successfully found Jiang Jihong's ward in the inpatient building.
When I went in, I found out that Jiang Jihong's son was hospitalized.
Jiang Jihong and his wife Li Wenli were a little surprised and moved when they saw Ma Ming carrying so many things in. Jiang Jihong said with a dark face: "Ma Ming, what are you doing? Get so many things?"
Li Wenli said embarrassedly: "This kid, you've come here, and you still bring so many things? Are you thirsty? Have you had lunch?" She asked him about his well-being, and opened Ma Ming's milk box and took out a can, inserted it into a straw, and gave Ma Ming a drink.
As soon as Ma Ming took it, Li Wenli brought another plate of fruit to him, very enthusiastic.
Ma Ming couldn't get rid of it anymore, so he had to quickly turn his eyes to the hospital bed and ask, "Captain Jiang, Aunt Li, what's wrong with the child?"
When Li Wenli heard this, she didn't know if she was angry or pitiful, and sighed.
Jiang Jihong continued to have a dark face and said, "Don't mention it, I'll be angry when I mention it. Yesterday, the school college entrance examination simulation, he got the second to last. He knew how to play basketball every day and was ignorant. When he came back, I told you Aunt Li to say a few words to him, but he jumped into the river and almost drowned. So, I'm going to rescue him, it's already okay. Now I'm not discharged from the hospital. He said that the river water has caused a mental breakdown. I think it's water in my head!"
"You can't say a few words?!" Li Wenli said angrily.
Ma Ming looked at Jiang Jihong's son, who was lying on his side with his back to them. Judging from his strong appearance, it should be fine.
"I didn't do well this time, just work hard next time to get better. It's not a big deal." Ma Ming said, "When I was in high school, my grades in the first year of high school were always around the bottom few. I only caught up with the middle of the second year of high school. I suddenly became the top three in the class when I was in high school. Boys developed late and were slow to get started. Mayor Jiang, Aunt Li, you should give your children some patience."
Li Wenli was shocked and hurriedly said, "Really? I heard from Jiang Jiang, you are from a prestigious university, how could you count down when you were in the first year of high school?"
"Really, I can't speak English. When I first started to memorize the text and vocabulary hard in my second year of high school, I slowly caught up." Ma Ming said.
"What about you math?" Li Wenli became more and more interested in him.
"I have always been good at math. After 145 points in the college entrance examination, I got a wrong multiple-choice question."
Li Wenli slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, my son is just not good at math. He scored 150 points in the test paper, and he scored 50 points in the exam, 60 points in the other subjects. All the subjects are fine, this subject is the worst. Otherwise..."
As he said that, he glanced at Jiang Jihong. Jiang Jihong knew what he wanted and shook his head and said, "No, Xiaoma is very busy with work every day."
Li Wenli glared at him, unmoved, and continued, "Why don't Xiaoma, do you tutor our children? We'll give you the fees."
"No!" The son suddenly turned over, roared, glared at Ma Ming, and turned over and went back.
Li Wenli said angrily to her son: "Shut up!" Instead, she looked at Ma Ming gently and said, "Xiao Ma, please give us Xiaoyu a tutoring on Saturday and Sunday. We will give you 50 yuan more than the market price in one hour."
Ma Ming was thinking about the construction of green mines and didn't know how to convince Jiang Jihong. If he played the emotional card, it might be a breakthrough. He said, "It's easy to say about money, but this child must agree."
Jiang Xiaoyu has a stubborn temper and can't even get back the three cows. He has already driven away seven or eight tutors. Li Wenli is dying and seeks medical treatment. When she sees a college student, she wonders if she can give her son a tutoring and get his math.
"Agree, of course, agree, Xiaoyu, come and see Teacher Ma." Li Wenli said to her son.
Jiang Xiaoyu turned around slowly, sat up, looked at Ma Ming, and snorted coldly: "It is easy to be my tutor. You can go to the basketball court to fight me one-on-one and win me!"
Li Wenli and Jiang Jihong were both angry and immediately scolded their son for being ignorant.
Ma Ming saw him wearing a T-shirt with the NBA Rockets logo printed on it, and smiled and said, "A man, a man is a matter of words. If I beat you, I will learn mathematics from me every Saturday and Sunday from now on."
"No problem." Jiang Xiaoyu sneered.
Jiang Jihong and Li Wenli looked at each other. The son was willful and stubborn, so he could only do this. However, can Ma Ming beat him?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoyu was even more impatient. He lifted the quilt, jumped off the bed, and greeted: "Go now!"
The three of them were shocked. Jiang Xiaoyu was almost drowned yesterday. When he talked about playing basketball, he became lively again. And it was 12:00 noon and he was about to have lunch.
After a dispute, neither Jiang Jihong nor Li Wenli stopped her son, and Ma Ming thought of subduing him as soon as possible and proposed to Jiang Jihong about the construction of a green mine earlier, so he agreed.
Ten minutes later, the family of three brought Ma Ming to the basketball court of the hospital. Although it was summer, fortunately there was no sun at this time, and there was a hint of cool breeze blowing, so it was not too hot.
Jiang Xiaoyu is 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Ma Ming, black, thin and hard, and looks very similar to Ma Ming when he was young. Ma Ming had no shoes or clothes, so Jiang Xiaoyu lent him the set in his father's car to wear to avoid bullying him without equipment.
Li Wenli walked to Ma Ming and whispered quietly: "Xiao Ma, my son is the main force of the school basketball team, you..." She suspected that Ma Ming was not an opponent, but she said tactfully, "Don't let him."
Ma Mingxin said, I have been a basketball team since junior high school and have led the team to the second place in the city. So he smiled confidently and said, "Let's just give it a try, 10 goals, give him three or four."
Li Wenli was shocked. This child looked quite modest and cautious. Why did he become so arrogant when he talked about playing basketball? Humph, be careful of being slapped in the face by my son!
