Many people at the station were waiting to see Commissioner Jiao.The business cards of Dr. Wen and Mr. Tang were handed over, but before they could be heard, the car started again. The smile lines on Mr. Tang's face changed into melancholy folds, and he followed the train with a dazed heart.When the train left the station, he sighed helplessly.He intuitively knew that the formation he had painstakingly arranged was probably useless at all. Dr. Wen had a deep understanding in his heart, he knew that Lu Pingfu would be able to speak for him, and it didn't matter if he saw Commissioner Jiao himself or not.He was eager to go back to Lilin, to kiss her, to praise her.The more he was grateful to her, the more he admired himself in his heart - if he had no vision, how could he find her?To find her is to find a way out, a pink road, like a flower path, with rhododendrons and roses on both sides.

Lu Pingfu met Commissioner Jiao.At the time of the meeting, there happened to be a preparatory member of that committee in the car, and Lu Pingfu also knew him.As soon as Lu Pingfu recommended Dr. Wen, Commissioner Jiao nodded slightly to the preparatory committee member. The preparatory committee member immediately slapped the bridge of the nose, expressing his willingness to take responsibility. Lu Pingfu got out of the car, and the preparatory committee member followed: "President Lu! I have left Dr. Wen to me! However, there is a small request: Clan brother Fang Guoqi—Fang Guoqi, please remember clearly!—— It has been a long time since I was asked to find something. If Dr. Wen is a commissioner, he must have an assistant under his command. Fang Guoqi——Fang Guoqi, please remember clearly!—is very suitable. It is a deal, we just need to distract each other!" Lu Pingfu nodded.

After finding Dr. Wen, Lu Pingfu confessed to Fang Guoqi. Dr. Wen nodded. In a few days, everything about Dr. Wen and Fang Guoqi was published. Dr. Wen's salary is 180 yuan per month, plus 40 yuan for traveling expenses.He is not very satisfied.Just relying on a Ph.D., it is only worth two hundred and twenty yuan a month, which is too little!But Lilin seemed to like it very much, and he was a little puzzled: taking more than two hundred yuan in his eyes because of her belongings?Can?No, not for the money.She must be, he thought, wishing that he had a status of his own size, both a doctor and an incumbent official, it was obviously more dignified when she got married, and it was easier to accompany the Yang family.Yes, she must be because of this. Thinking of this, he was much happier.Let's muddle through this matter first, and think of other ideas after we get married.He thought he should get married early.New Year's Day next year is very appropriate.After getting married, with money and contacts, maybe he would give up this commissioner to Tang Jianhua if he was happy.He did not admit that he intended to deceive Mr. Tang, because although Mr. Tang got the news, it was Lu Pingfu who made the movement successful; of.Mr. Tang himself should understand this, if he is a sensible person.However, Mr. Tang may not be a sensible person, which makes Dr. Jiaowen feel a little bit uncomfortable.Well, when I have other things in the future, I must give up the position of commissioner to Jianhua.

After visiting Yang's house again, he began to feel his identity.Whenever he came to Yang's house, he always greeted Mrs. Yang first, and then went to Lilin's room.When Mrs. Yang was sleeping, or she didn't like meeting guests, or she was out of the house, he kept looking for Lilin. In front of Mrs. Yang, he could see many members of the Yang family, but no one was too old. Talk to him, some are disdainful to entertain him, some are afraid to flatter him.In Lilin's house, no one would come over forever, Lilin's power prevented everyone from coming to hate her.It's different now, everyone seems to know that he has become an official, the men started talking to him, the women also smiled at him, the servants congratulated him and asked him for rewards, and the children clamored for him to treat him.A new maid greeted him with pouted buttocks: "Sixth uncle is overjoyed!" Everyone laughed, and he blushed involuntarily, but he was very happy in his heart.

Only then did he really understand Lilin, Lilin's joy was justified.She understands the value of a doctor, and also understands how everyone values ​​an official position. She is not only a crane in the flock, but also understands everyone's psychology and is gifted with intelligence!It's a pity she didn't go to school, he thought; but if she had, maybe she wouldn't fall into his hands.There is a destiny for everything, and the destiny is inseparable. It is just right for him to match her!No matter how he thought and looked at it, he felt that this matter came very pretty.

The servants asked for a reward, and he couldn't help but take it out.Inviting guests is also deserved, but it has to be delayed a little bit.For these two things, no matter how he could deal with it alone, he should deal with it alone, so as to give Lilin some face. However, as soon as she moved her own money, she seemed to have to think about it, did Lilin push all expenses on him from now on?If this is true, his heart trembled for a while!Probably not, how could she be such a person?Putting this aside, there are still many places where money should be spent: the children of the Yang family can be left alone, even if they are yelled at by them helplessly, at most buy them some toys and fruits and so on. .The adults of the Yang family can't be so perfunctory, anyway, he has to give Mrs. Yang some decent things, and he has to treat the main men to dinner.The money must be spent.Gifts are given and guests are invited, then the marriage can naturally be settled amidst talking and laughing.Followed by engagement, you have to buy a ring, and you can't buy cheap ones; huh, diamond ones, you can see them in the future, they cost more than a thousand!Even if he could save his face and cooperate with Lilin to do this, he would still have to pay five or six hundred, right?Where can I find this money?After getting engaged, it is natural to prepare for marriage.A wedding, at least not a thousand dollars?Even if Lilin is in charge of all the arrangement of the small family, he probably has to pay for the work, right?At least he would have to get 1,500 yuan to do this.The Yang family will not allow him to deal poorly, and he himself is not willing to deal poorly.But fifteen hundred dollars seems unlikely to fall from the sky.He regretted it a bit, he shouldn't have come to the Yang family to find a woman, the Yang family can afford it, but it's hard for him to accompany him!How could he not be with him? Since he has an official position and a fixed salary, he almost hates this job; this is not a way out, but forces him to take money out!

There is no way to fight back.The relationship between him and Lilin is no longer a matter of saying a few words and going their separate ways.Besides, things have just begun, so how can we give up all our previous efforts because of this difficulty.On the contrary, as long as he overcomes this difficulty, he will be able to grow up smoothly, for sure.Look at Lu Pingfu!If Lu Pingfu could jump up with the power of the Yang family, Dr. Wen—he called himself—would be weaker than Old Lu!Yes, even Lao Lu didn't talk about making toys anymore after meeting him now, and asked him to make a plan. It can be seen that the doctor's identity has been recognized by everyone.Well, let them wait and see, Dr. Wen has better tricks, and slowly give them one by one, and teach them to see and see!

Regret is useless, and it is obviously too courageous.He began to think of effective and practical methods.For the engagement, he can advance three months' salary.More than 600 yuan can always turn around the scene.As for the marriage, even if it is possible to co-organize it with the Yang family, it is probably necessary to prepare a round number; debts seem to be inevitable.Borrowing the debt first, and repaying it with Lilin's money after marriage, I will not lose money, but also show my face. This is "thought" and it is not risky at all.That's it; don't think about it, there's nothing wrong with it.Romance, ostentation, strength, all in one go!I never thought I would be so smart!I have never doubted my ability, but now I really understand that I am extremely smart!

After making these decisions, he went to work happily.There is a fire of love and infinite hope hidden in his heart, and his body is working hard to serve the country and society. He always feels a little fluttering and wants to fly; the expression on his face is very serious, but he always wants to laugh in his heart , It seems that my own dignity can no longer contain the superficial joy in my heart. The committee has passed the so-called "hearing" period of Mr. Tang, and has started to work formally, because there is a commissioner in charge of handling the affairs.The name of the committee is the Mentoring Society.Dr. Wen is a Mentor Director.There is no need for the committee members to attend the meeting, so the clubhouse is only temporarily borrowing the space of the Qilu Cultural Society.Dr. Wen hated this place. As soon as he came here, he remembered the embarrassing situation when he first came to Jinan.To relieve his anger, he fired Old Chu as soon as he entered the door.Old Chu almost knelt down to Mr. Wen, begging Mr. Wen to be merciful; Poor little Yuzi and Xiao Yuzi's mother?Dr. Wen was determined to do things more conveniently and efficiently, but he couldn't pity Old Chu. Old Chu Yue begged, the harder his heart became; the harder his heart became, the more he showed his authority.Dr. Wen is now a commissioner.Old Chu carried the blanket away with tears in his eyes.

To drive away Old Chu, Dr. Wen wanted to take all the funds from the Cultural Society, so that Mr. Tang no longer had to manage it.But Wei Wei felt very embarrassed in her heart, not only did she not bring Jianhua into the meeting, but she immediately cut off Mr. Tang's little leftovers, which seemed too ungenerous.Let's put it aside for a month or two, anyway, this matter will not escape my control sooner or later.Well, let's wait another two months.Mr. Tang should understand, he thought, how he needs a little more money.It's not that he's great, but he's forced by need.

Old Chu left, and went to Wenbo to worry about eleven things; soon, he would be able to get the funds from the Cultural Society, and it would be more convenient in his hands.He no longer underestimated the status of the commissioner, and at the same time he wanted to go up the ranks; the commissioner has so many benefits, let alone a higher official position than the commissioner?Yes, he has to ingratiate himself with the commissioner's qualifications, and soon he - with his degree, vision, and communication skills - will go up to a higher level, develop, develop, and develop until he is anxious. Commissioner like that! He started to meet the committee members in the meeting.His demeanor showed that although you are committee members, I am a Ph.D. In terms of knowledge and knowledge, you are much worse!Although he wanted to curry favor with them, he unintentionally showed this air.He didn't know it himself, but they could see it clearly.Dr. Wen had the disadvantage of studying abroad, and his qualifications for studying abroad were in his heart, and he unknowingly gave off the sour taste of a doctor.When he met the committee members, he did not listen to their speeches, but tried to express his opinions and knowledge as much as possible.But his opinions are not wise.The first thing he was willing to discuss with them was the meeting place of the Mentoring Society. He advocated expulsion of all those fragmented groups, leaving the Cultural Society.Then paint and paint inside and out. Although it can't be demolished for a while, at least the floor must be replaced, a flush toilet must be installed, and a few writing desks and card cabinets must be fixed.These are all necessary reforms and additions, all of which are evidenced by American methods and ostentation, and secondly, the uniform and training of servants.In the United States, even the "unloved" in hotels wear exquisite gowns or uniforms, some even wear badges on their chests, and there are rules in everything they do and say; the United States is a democratic country, but rules must be followed.The sum of rules and ostentation is culture. The committee members saw it, and his words became more and more familiar, and even the gestures and facial expressions had a certain time and size.He himself felt that the content was rich and the explanations were moving. He was very happy that they could not only admire his insights, but also appreciate his communication skills.The committee members listened absent-mindedly, some smiled and did not say yes or no, some shook their heads slightly, and raised some objections: For example, the Zhiyin National Drama Club can’t do it, because everyone present at the meeting has The children of Qian Youyou's family, so if Dr. Wen is willing to find a thorn, he will try it out. Dr. Wen thought that everything was easy to handle, but the committee members lacked the ability to handle things and did not understand the American methods, so he ignored his words.He told Lilin and Fang Guoqi that both she and he felt that the doctor's proposition was correct. "Look, don't they? They have never been to a foreign country," the doctor told Lilin and Fang Guoqi enthusiastically, "There is no way at all, so it's useless if I have a way! I'm not discouraged, I still have more ways, slow down Slowly, there will always be a day when they understand it, hum! Sending all the committee members to the United States for a visit, let’s not talk about studying abroad, just visit for a year or so, and experience and experience, it’s really a way! That club, That clubhouse! Well, there’s no need to say anything else, the issue of education!” Dr. Wen nodded, admiring, thinking about it, but didn’t say it out: Fortunately, they found a doctor like me, otherwise. ...
