Chapter 353 Forget about others, can Xiao Cao be considered an outsider?

After hearing what Yu Fangfang said, Cao Zhiqiang just pondered for a moment before deciding to tell the other party his intention.

The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang's apparent purpose of coming this time is indeed not something shameful, and there is no harm in saying it.

And Yu Fangfang is right, having her help to say good things can indeed increase the success rate.

So, Cao Zhiqiang told Fangfang his purpose of coming.

"That's just the way it is."

Cao Zhiqiang, who explained the purpose of his visit, finally concluded: "Sister Fangfang, you also know that my magazine was founded not long ago and is not well-known. For a small temple like this, it is extremely difficult to find a college student to come to it.

.

Nowadays, it is rare for two college students to take the initiative to work for me, so of course I would be happy to do so.

But as for the allocation of college students, I don’t know whether you know it or not. Now the relevant government departments issue allocation plans to colleges and universities, and then the schools allocate them uniformly.

Of course, schools also have certain autonomy in the actual allocation process.

But no matter what, the internship and graduation assignments of college students are decided by the organization and not by the college students themselves.

Even if those two college students are interested in coming to work in my unit, if I don't find someone to help, there will definitely be no chance.

Therefore, I thought, isn't your father the district mayor's secretary? Maybe he can help me by saying hello to the relevant personnel at Beijing Normal University and asking them to help transfer the two college students who are interested in working in my unit.

Internship in my unit.

Don't underestimate internships. Once they come to my unit for internship, after they graduate, I can use this to contact the school and let them continue to work in our unit after graduation.

In this way, my publishing house will have two more college students.

Nowadays, college students are a hot commodity. If our publishing house can have two more college students, it will definitely make it more attractive.

Moreover, those two college students are indeed very talented and are very suitable for our unit.

I just cherish talents too much, so I had no choice but to come here and ask the secretary for help."

"Oh, that's right." Yu Fangfang nodded.

"Zhiqiang, your matter sounds a bit big, and I don't understand it... But don't worry, since it's your business, when my dad comes back, I will definitely put in a nice word for you and let him do his best.

help you."

"Thank you very much, Sister Fangfang." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"I'm one of you, why are you so polite?" Yu Fangfang smiled.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Fangfang asked with a smile: "By the way, I heard that your partner went back to take the exam. Is he back now? If he is back, can you let me meet Yuanyuan?"

"Forehead……"

Just as Cao Zhiqiang was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Cao Zhiqiang turned his head and saw Yu Deshui and his wife walking in hand in hand.

Yu Deshui was still dressed in a simple Chinese tunic suit, with a briefcase in his hand, looking like a classic government cadre.

His wife, Yao Guiying, also wore a simple shirt and trousers, a classic grassroots female cadre look.

Also, Yao Guiying is a female cadre of a state-owned vegetable market, so her appearance is perfectly normal.

"Dad? Mom?"

Seeing her parents entering the door, Yu Fangfang immediately stood up with a smile, and then took the initiative to introduce Cao Zhiqiang, who stood up almost at the same time.

"Look who's here?"

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Cao!" Yao Guiying was the first to smile, "What a distinguished guest!"

"Yes, you are really an honored guest." Yu Deshui also smiled and nodded, then glanced at the pile of gifts on the coffee table and frowned slightly, "Look, you came right away, why did you bring something with you when you go back?

Remember to take it with you."

Before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Yao Guiying glared at Yu Deshui: "What are you talking about? Even if others are not concerned, can Xiao Cao be considered an outsider?"

"Yes, yes!" Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly climbed up the pole, "Uncle and aunt, these are just trivial gifts and not respectful.

Don’t worry, if anyone asks, you can generously say that I sent it, and then ask them to find me, and I guarantee there will be no problem.

The money I earn is all pure and innocent.

My gift is naturally clean.

Therefore, if I am upright and am not afraid of slanted shadows, I naturally am not afraid of others checking me.

In the same way, the gifts I give are absolutely upright and I am not afraid of others knowing.

You are all my family members, what does it mean if I give them some small gifts?"

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Sister Yuanyuan is my god-sister, and you two are also my elders. These are also my family members. What's the problem if I give some small gifts to my family members?"

"small gift?"

Yu Deshui, who had already walked to the coffee table, frowned and looked at those things, then shook his head:

"Moutai, red pandas, and imported candies, these are no small gifts for you.

Even our district chief may not have the things you gave us at his home, so why do you still call them small gifts?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly.

Indeed, in later generations, it would be easy for a district chief in the capital to get a bottle of Moutai, but in 1983, it was really difficult.

The main reason is that Maotai was too scarce during this period, and ordinary people couldn't get the quota at all.

Although the level of the mayor of Beijing District is not too low, for things like Maotai, normally they cannot get the quota.

Of course, just because they can't buy it privately doesn't mean they can't drink it.

It is normal for some high-end wine shops to open a Maotai store, but it is at public expense and is different from a private collection.

"No, it's too valuable. You can take it back." Yu Deshui immediately shook his head.

"Uncle Yu, don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "This tobacco and wine are really a piece of cake for me.

After all, my situation is different from yours. I am not short of money and have many friends, even foreign friends. It is normal for them to give me this.

I don’t smoke or drink, so there’s no use keeping it, so it’s best to give it to those who need it.

What's more, this time I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I just want to ask my uncle for something, so it's very appropriate to give him some gifts."

"Yes, Dad!" Yu Fangfang said quickly, "Zhiqiang is not an outsider, he is my and Yuanyuan's godbrother, which means he is roughly your godson.

These things seem very scarce to us, but to Zhiqiang, they are commonplace things.

Don't forget, Zhiqiang is the president of a publishing house, and he usually lives in the executive room of the Peking Hotel.

You know the Peking Hotel, the foreign hotel, do you know how much that guy earns per day? It’s higher than your monthly salary.

Your monthly salary is not as good as Zhiqiang’s one-day accommodation fee. How can this be compared?

So, Dad, if someone else gives you this gift, it is a heavy gift. I don’t have any objection if you don’t accept it.

But this gift from Zhiqiang is a daily welcome gift. If you don't accept it, you won't give him face."

Speaking of this, Yu Fangfang also looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "Isn't that right, Zhiqiang?"

"Yes, yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded quickly, "They are just trivial things, not respectful."

Then, Cao Zhiqiang blinked again: "Compared to other things I brought, the Maotai red panda is really not worth mentioning."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang also deliberately winked at a purple sand pottery tea can and a mooncake paper box respectively.

Yu Deshui is a cautious old man, and he knew immediately that there was something fishy going on.

However, he did not directly ask what it was, but smiled slightly: "Oh, we will talk about these later. If Xiao Cao comes over rarely, let's have a casual meal before leaving."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you."

Yu Deshui turned to Yao Guiying and said, "Go and prepare some food. I want to have a good drink with Xiao Cao today."

"Okay." Yao Guiying said, "But it's rare for Xiao Cao to come here, and my craftsmanship cannot be showcased. How about going to the restaurant and asking for a table to be delivered?"

"Okay!" Yu Deshui nodded.

Yao Guiying then put down the vegetable basket with a smile, then walked to the phone and called directly to order food.

Yes, you could order takeout by phone during this period, but it was all high-end takeout, that is, you directly called some restaurants that had a phone number, and then asked the restaurant to prepare the meal and deliver it to you.

This kind of situation can only be done by families like Yu Deshui's family who have telephones at home, but ordinary people cannot do it.

Regarding this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything like "don't bother, I'll pay for it" or something like that.

The main reason is that he doesn't really believe in Yao Guiying's craftsmanship. It would be best if he could eat food from a restaurant.

Furthermore, he is a guest at the door. If he rushes to pay for everything, at this time, it is disrespectful and does not give people face.

Anyway, the gift he gave was heavy enough, so I felt comfortable eating this meal.

After Yao Guiying made the call and ordered the dishes, she suddenly turned around and said, "Xiao Cao, I remember, you said you came today to see our Lao Yu if you have something to do?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded quickly, "It's something serious."
