Chapter 003 Destiny must change
The deep red glazed tile roof, carved beams and painted pillars, red door pillars, plus a gold-lettered signboard of "Jinghua University" with a gold edge and a blue background, fully demonstrate the profound and profound cultural heritage of this century-old university.
Zhou Nan stood quietly at the antique school gate, looking through the hustle and bustle of the crowd for the black Poussin car that had been buried in the memory for more than ten years. The car was not found, but a familiar yet unfamiliar figure flashed into his eyes.
In front of his eyes - Zhao Liang, the driver of his father Zhou Ningyu, a retired soldier who had recently joined the Haidu Public Security Bureau.
With a lean head, a straight body, a dark and honest face, he was wearing a grass-green camouflage uniform with the epaulettes removed, and still wore a pair of black old-man loafers on his feet. Looking at Zhao Liang from a distance, Zhou Nan's mouth curled up slightly.
After twitching a few times, he regained his composure and walked over quickly, dragging his suitcase.
"Brother Zhao!" Zhou Nan called softly. Although he tried his best to give Zhao Liang a smile that was suitable for his age and status, he subconsciously showed the same deep smile, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in a determined arc.
Zhao Liang didn't notice these slight changes in him. He just smiled and reached out to pat Zhou Nan on the shoulder, "Zhou Nan, you finally graduated. Congratulations. Come on, get in the car, let's go back to Haidu! Director Zhou and Yue
Auntie is waiting for you at home."
…
…
Zhou Nan's father, Zhou Ningyu, is the deputy director of a very low-ranking agency in charge of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau. He does not have much real power or much oil and wealth. In the impression of Zhou Nan's previous life, his father has always been a dull and silent person.
His low-key behavior may be related to his long-term unsatisfactory official career. However, he is also a deputy director-deputy division level cadre. The Zhou family is also considered an official family in the local area. Sometimes when Zhou Nan is on vacation during the winter and summer vacations, Zhou Ningyu will send Zhao Liang to Beijing to pick him up.
Occasionally riding in his father's special car was one of the few privileges enjoyed by officials in Zhou Nan's memory in his previous life. Later, Zhou Ningyu was implicated in the earthquake in Haidu officialdom that occurred in November 1996 and was forced to
He took the blame and resigned, and then interrupted his official career to become an ordinary lecturer at Binhai University. He was depressed.
He lived happily until his retirement. From then on, the Zhou family fell into decline, and Zhou Nan had to work hard from a small employee in a state-owned enterprise. He endured countless hardships and experienced countless ups and downs before he seized the opportunity to enter the business world in a short period of time.
In just a few years, he accumulated huge wealth and became a business tycoon that millions of people looked up to.
But after his rebirth, Zhou Nan would never allow this situation to happen again. He had to change his father's career destiny, and at the same time change his own life destiny. Fortunately, there was still time, perhaps, this was God's arrangement.
Destiny must be in one's own hands. Before getting in the car, Zhou Nan gritted his teeth secretly.
Zhao Liang drove slowly out of the bustling and noisy urban area of Beijing and onto the national highway leading to Binhai Province. Along the way, Zhao Liang found that Zhou Nan's mood seemed a little low and felt a little strange, so he didn't talk to him much.
Zhou Nan kept turning his head and staring quietly and intently at the city street scene flashing past outside the car window, as if he wanted to find the ethereal footprints left by his four years of studying in Beijing in this metropolis with many high-rise buildings. For a long time, Zhou Nan
He slowly turned his head and smiled, "Brother Zhao, are my dad and mom in good health?"
Zhao Liang saw that Zhou Nan seemed to have returned to his gentle and cheerful demeanor, so he said loudly, "Very good, Zhou Nan. Director Zhou happened to have a very important meeting to hold in the past two days, and Aunt Yue was also very busy at work, otherwise they would
I will personally come to Jinghua to pick you up... But it’s the same thing if I come to pick you up. When we go back, Aunt Yue will definitely prepare a large table of your favorite meals for your reunion."
Zhao Liang was a few years older than Zhou Nan and always called Zhou Nan's mother Yue Ping aunt. However, this also seemed affectionate.
Although the drivers who follow Zhou Ningyu don’t always have good cigarettes and drinks like other leaders, and there are people below giving gifts and souvenirs from time to time, Zhou Ningyu and his wife, including Zhou Nan’s family of three, are very gentle and simple.
He was a very sincere person, and Zhao Liang still liked him very much.
After all, Zhao Liang is also a kind and simple person. With Zhou Ningyu's character, he will definitely not be able to use a slick driver.
"Haha." Zhou Nan smiled and said no more, but his mind was racing with lightning.
At noon, the two of them had something to eat at a small restaurant on the edge of the national highway, which was invited by Zhao Liang. They got on the Jingning Expressway at around 1 p.m. After getting on the expressway, the speed of the car became obviously faster. It was around 4 p.m.
We passed through Northern Province and entered Binhai Province. From Ningyu, the capital of Binhai Province, we boarded the newly completed Ninghai Expressway and finally returned to Haidu at 7:30 pm.
Haidu is a coastal city and is a relatively developed prefecture-level city among several coastal cities in Binhai Province. The black Poussin drove into the neon-lit city night scene and soon entered the Haidu government dormitory area.
Although it is hot summer, in this coastal city, the sea breeze is refreshing, the starry sky is shining, and the night is as cool as water. After getting out of the car, Zhou Nan stood quietly in front of the car, staring at the beige ordinary residential building in front of him, confused.
His eyes looked up at the bright and warm light in the east window on the second floor.
Home is a warm word, and for the reborn Zhou Nan at this moment, the warmth and sense of belonging of home are even more precious.
Zhao Liang parked the car and helped Zhou Nan take out the suitcase from the trunk. Seeing that Zhou Nan was still in a daze, he smiled and said, "Let's go, Zhou Nan, we're home. Why, you're still too shy to go upstairs?"
"
"Haha, okay, Brother Zhao, let's go upstairs." Zhou Nan woke up and followed with a smile.
The two of them walked upstairs lightly, and met a short and fat middle-aged man at the stairwell on the first floor. The man was wearing a sports T-shirt and shorts, holding a badminton racket in his hand, with an arrogant face and steady steps, and was walking downstairs.
Come. Seeing Zhou Nan, the man was obviously startled, but then a seemingly gentle smile appeared on his face, but it was actually a bit artificial.
Zhao Liang quickly greeted him respectfully, "Secretary-General Lu!"
The man's name is Lu Qing. He was originally the Party Secretary and Director of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau. He later became the District Party Committee Secretary of Haidu District. In October 1995, he was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Haidu Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, which is considered to be a high figure in Haidu City.
One of the core leaders of the Communist Party of China, he held a high position and was prominent for a while. Although Lu Qing left the Public Security Bureau to work in the city and became a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, the Lu family never moved out and still lived opposite the Zhou family. Zhou Nan's family
It is the east door on the second floor, and the Lu family is the west door on the second floor.
Lu Qing gave a faint "Hmm" in response to Zhao Liang, but her powerful eyes were projected on Zhou Nan behind Zhao Liang.
Zhou Nan's heart was filled with excitement. He looked deeply at the man in front of him, adjusted his emotions instantly, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Lu."
Lu Qing has a great arrogance and official authority. In addition, he is unsmiling, giving people the impression that he is aloof and difficult to approach. Not to mention a low-level driver like Zhao Liang, even an ordinary agency cadre, he rarely uses pretense.
When Lu Qing saw Zhou Nan, his face showed the kind of disguised gentleness and kindness on the surface, but in fact he had a condescending smile underneath. He nodded lightly, "Zhou Nan is back, um, not bad, that's it."
Graduated? Okay! Well, my Yanlin also graduated, haha... In the blink of an eye, you kids have become adults, haha!"
Lu Qing smiled without any nutrition and spoke in an official tone. The arrogance of looking down on all sentient beings and the indifference of a superior person in his eyes were invisible. Zhou Nan felt very uncomfortable, but for the sake of face, he had to smile.
He stood there seemingly respectfully listening to Lu Qing's words.
"Well, I graduated, Uncle Lu. I just left school today, and Uncle Lu is going out for a walk." Zhou Nan smiled and stepped aside to let Lu Qing get out of the way.
"Well, I'm getting older, so I don't have much to do after dinner. Okay, you can go home." Lu Qing nodded, not wanting to waste time with Zhou Nan anymore, and went alone.
Zhao Liang turned around and looked at Lu Qing's back, smacked his lips, and sighed softly, "Zhou Nan, Secretary-General Lu is the most assertive leader among the city leaders... However, I heard that you and his daughter Lu Yanlin are classmates. You two
We live across the street from each other. I wonder if Director Zhou has arranged a job for you. If not, I think you can find something to do with Lu Qing. Maybe you can still get things done..."
Zhao Liang made a gesture of twisting the banknotes and glanced sideways at Zhou Nan.
"Haha, Brother Zhao, I am a senior member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. How can I help me find a job? We won't go out and ask for trouble." Zhou Nan smiled lightly, but the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently.
