Break out of the courtyard

On July 1983, 7, Tang Xin’s 2th birthday, the World Internet Security Technology Exchange Conference was held as scheduled in New York.

What made the Chinese representatives at the conference feel frustrated was that the seats in the conference room were actually determined based on the Internet infrastructure of each country.

If Shenzhen did not have a 2G communication network connecting to Hong Kong Island, the three Chinese representatives would not even have a speaking seat today and would have had to sit in the back row as listeners.

Even so, the Chinese representatives were seated after Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, and sat together with some small Southeast Asian countries.

Halfway through the Internet Security Technology Exchange Conference, the Chinese representatives discovered something was wrong!

Under the deliberate guidance of the magnesium countrymen, the meeting gradually turned into a criticism meeting of the World Internet Forum.

……

Zhang Heping had no idea how much resentment he had attracted by posting hacking software on the World Internet Forum.

After he discussed the transfer of the computers with Chairman He, the ship charter king, Chairman Guo and others, they chatted for a while and then said goodbye and went back to Hong Kong to arrange the funds.

"Sister, how long are you going to stay here?"

After seeing off the outsiders outside the Baiyun Hotel, Zhang Heping finally found an opportunity to talk to his second sister Zhang Pandidi alone.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll ask after I report the work here to the capital." Zhang Pandi saw that Director Wang didn't follow and there was no one around, so she moved closer to Zhang Heping and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, are you really the richest man in Hong Kong Island?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are the richest man or not. What matters is your next job." Zhang Heping glanced around and pointed to the flower bed and said, "Let's talk over there."

The two avoided others and went to the shade of a tree beside the flower bed.

Zhang Heping looked at his family not far away and asked softly, "Zhuang Lin arranged for you to be in charge of the affairs of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Do you understand her intention now?"

Zhuang Lin is the granddaughter of Uncle Zhuang and Grandma Yang. After Zhang Pandi told Grandma Yang that she wanted to change her job, Grandma Yang initially planned to introduce Zhang Pandi to the civil affairs department.

After learning about the relationship between Zhang Pandi and Zhang Heping, Zhuang Lin asked for Zhang Pandi to come over, and the relevant procedures were completed very quickly, which was not at all like the work efficiency of this era.

Zhang Pandi frowned and asked, "Is it because of you?"

Zhang Heping explained softly, "I still have some influence in Hong Kong and Macau. In Taiwan, I have a relationship with Ah Xin's uncle, so I can pass on the message, but it may not be effective."

"Zhuang Lin is only a director, not that capable. I don't think you can be promoted to a full-time section chief as soon as you go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Besides, you are only in charge of communication and coordination of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan affairs, but you cannot be considered as 'responsible'."

"When you are truly in charge of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan affairs, your rank should be higher than Zhuang Lin's now."

"So, if you need anything in the future, feel free to call me and Shu Ting. We will try to help you achieve results as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Yeah!" Zhang Pandi responded.

"Your biggest problem right now is the language problem." Zhang Heping continued, "You need to learn Eagle language and Cantonese. I will find teachers for you in these areas. If you can stay in Huadu or Shenzhen for a long time, it will be much easier to find a teacher."

"Also, I can't give you money or valuables from now on. You can't confiscate Xiaoyi and Xiaoting's New Year's money, and you can't accept money or things from others. This is the bottom line. Do you understand?"

Zhang Pandi frowned and said, "I don't care about money, but you can't give Xiaoyi and Xiaoting so much New Year's money anymore!"

"I only gave a 1000 Hong Kong dollar red envelope. The rest were given by others, and the amount of each red envelope did not exceed 1000. The source of funds is reasonable."

Zhang Pandi said helplessly: "I am learning Eagle language! As for Cantonese, please help me find a few tapes and I can take them home and study by myself."

……

Wang Sumei looked at the Zhang siblings on the other side of the flower bed and asked their mother Ma Xiuzhen, "Xiuzhen, why did your second sister get transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I haven't heard you mention it recently."

"It was Heping who asked us not to spread the news." Ma Xiuzhen said a little embarrassedly: "My second sister was originally going to be transferred to the Civil Affairs Department, but she was spotted by Director Zhuang and was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Director Zhuang?" Director Wang Sumei thought for a moment and then locked onto the girl from the next-door neighbor's house. "Are you talking about Zhuang Lin?"

"It seemed to be this name. I only remember that Director Zhuang was the granddaughter of Grandpa Zhuang and was your neighbor. I thought that since you lived so close, they would tell you, so I didn't tell you about my second sister." Ma Xiuzhen explained, then looked at her children.

"With Heping in Hong Kong Island, it will be much easier for my second sister to work with Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan than for others." Wang Sumei said with some complexity: "Once my second sister has made achievements here, it will be easier for her to get promoted in the future."

……

Nearing dinner time, 82 wealthy ladies from the Heping Real Estate circle suddenly rushed to the Baiyun Hotel, forcing the hotel to temporarily gather rice, noodles and vegetables to accommodate the 8 additional tables of meals.

"Ah Xin, we agreed to celebrate your birthday, why did your family come to Huadu without telling us?"

"You don't know, we had to ask a lot of people before we found out where you were from your second sister-in-law in Xindao."

Ok!

As soon as these women arrived, they betrayed Tang Yi's concubine, allowing Zhang Heping to find out where the news leaked.

While the eldest wife Tang Xin was dealing with that group of rich ladies, Zhang Heping asked his second wife Chen Shuting to take his second sister Zhang Pandyi over to expand their network.

But he was still waiting for someone in the lobby on the first floor.

At 7:10 in the evening, a female public relations officer from Tingmei Trading Company trotted into the lobby of Baiyun Hotel.

"What's going on?" Zhang Heping asked the female PR, "Are they coming or not?"

"Boss!" The female PR took a breath, exhaled, and then tried to speak softly, "They decided not to come to dinner tonight. They invite you to have a meeting with them tomorrow morning to formally discuss the preparations for the IT security exchange meeting in Huadu."

The information technology security exchange meeting is Zhang Heping’s response to what OM has done recently.

He thought about responding to those people from Oumei last night by using the Peace Vocational Training College recruitment advertisement; but if he did that, not only would the effect be slow, but the Oumei people might not necessarily lift the restrictions on Tingmei's trade immediately.

Furthermore, he held this information technology security exchange meeting for another purpose, which was to slap the Chinese people in the face!

Aren’t they holding an Internet security technology exchange conference today?

Zhang Heping responded tit-for-tat with the word "information", and in the end he openly restricted people from countries such as magnesium and South Korea from attending the meeting!

He did not mention this matter to Director Wang, but sent someone to contact the person in charge of Huadu directly.

Therefore, it goes without saying who could make him wait on the first floor.

"Boss!" This pretty female public relations officer generously showed Zhang Heping her cleavage wrapped in a yellow flowered skirt, and said mysteriously:

"I just overheard a conversation outside their office. It seems that the Magnesium side has a lot of opinions about the Umbrella Corporation, and their representatives were harassed at the conference."

"Representatives from the mainland, conference..." Zhang Heping immediately thought of the Internet Security Technology Exchange Conference held in New York today.

The female PR didn't hear Zhang Heping's muttering clearly, and continued to explain:

"They also said something else, but I didn't hear it clearly because their voices were too low. However, after they talked about the conference in the office, a secretary came out to inform me that they would not come to dinner tonight and would reschedule it for tomorrow. I was invited to go to their municipal building for the meeting."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Heping glanced at the PR girl's plump breasts and said calmly, "Let's go to the second floor to eat first!"

After saying this, Zhang Heping went to the restaurant on the second floor with some regret.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the preparations for the information technology security exchange meeting to introduce his second sister Zhang Pandi, but unfortunately he failed to invite her.

If you want to get something done these days, treating people to a meal is the most direct and efficient way, because most places still rely on tickets for supplies.

In Shenzhen, as the number of outsiders increases, state-owned restaurants have begun to try out a sales model that does not charge tickets.

However, the menu prices of these pilot state-owned restaurants are eight to nine times, or even more than ten times, more expensive than those of regular state-owned restaurants.

But even so, the business of those pilot state-owned restaurants is still booming; this is because the traders who come to Shenzhen really make a lot of money and they can afford it.

As for those who could not afford it, most of them went to work in factories, and a small number became destabilizing factors.

……

As Zhang Heping returned to the restaurant, a group of rich ladies began to make a fuss, clamoring to see the gift Zhang Heping gave to Tang Xin.

In their opinion, the Zhang family is so rich, but the two wives usually dress so simply and rarely wear jewelry. It's just that the materials of their clothes are quite particular. So they must see the gift Zhang Heping gave this time.

After all, it is Tang Xin’s 40th birthday, which is different from Sansheng’s.

"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhou, who is rich and wealthy, gave Ah Xin a pair of jade bracelets. You can't give her the same thing. Otherwise, you can't show your affection for Ah Xin."

"Look at what Mrs. Jin said. Whatever Mr. Zhang gave to Ah Xin represents his friendship for Ah Xin. However, Mr. Zhang would not give gold jewelry! We have many people who were given gold."

Tang Xin smiled and said, "In fact, the blessings you sent today are the most precious gifts!"

This woman directly used the lyrics of the song "Simple Happiness" that her husband sang this afternoon.

"With simple happiness, there will be no more loneliness; no matter how long the journey is, it will end at the next stop; the blessings they send are the most precious gifts; it turns out that love is so simple, it makes people jealous..." The second daughter Zhang Nan directly sang that part of the lyrics.

At the end, the girl proudly said to others: "This is the song my dad wrote for my mom this afternoon. There is another one, Love you more every day."

However, when there are so many people, there are always a few who don’t know what’s best for them.

Just now, a woman named Mrs. Zhang, who had the same surname, saw Zhang Heping with nothing in his hands, and she kept clamoring, "Mr. Zhang, just take out the gift you gave your wife and let us see it!"

Someone nearby who was familiar with this woman also started to make a scene, saying, "Mr. Zhang is the richest man in Hong Kong! The gift he gave to his wife must be priceless."

"Do you think it's possible to give a gemstone necklace as big as a pigeon egg?"

Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and others knew that Zhang Heping got on the train empty-handed. At this time, Tang Xin came to the rescue and said, "Okay! I'll show you the gift my husband gave me later. I don't have it with me now."

Zhang Heping naturally didn't carry such a large wooden sculpture with him.

After dinner, the group of rich ladies took Tang Xin and Chen Shuting to the third floor to play mahjong.

Zhang Heping took his mother Ma Xiuzhen and drove Zhang Pandi to the guesthouse of the Guangdong Provincial Tourism Bureau.

Ever since Zhang Pandi expressed her desire to move up in the career ladder, her personal financial issues became a red line in her career path.

Therefore, Zhang Heping did not keep Zhang Pandi at Baiyun Hotel to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Sister, I have to go to the Huadu Municipal Government Office Building for a meeting tomorrow morning. If you don't go back tomorrow, go to Baiyun Hotel if you have nothing else to do."

"Yes!" Zhang Pandi responded, "I'll report the situation here, and then we'll decide whether to stay or go."

Facing Zhang Pandi's gaze, Ma Xiuzhen avoided her sight and did not answer the question Zhang Pandi had asked her at the dinner table before, asking her whether she wanted to go back to the capital together.

"A few days ago, my father slapped Zhang Cuishan in the face, and then he stopped caring about Zhang Cuishan and his son." Zhang Pandi looked at her mother Ma Xiuzhen and continued:

"I asked him the reason, but he didn't tell me. He just drank with Zhang Yong."

"Mom, why don't you go back and ask my dad what happened?"

Zhang Bing slapped Zhang Cuishan in the face, and this incident really aroused Ma Xiuzhen's gossipy spirit.

However, after arriving in Hong Kong Island for a few days, she found that her son and younger daughter-in-law were very busy, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law had to return to the capital recently. Only the eldest daughter-in-law was left to take care of the seven children. Ma Xiuzhen was worried that the eldest daughter-in-law would not be able to handle it.

So, she didn't really want to go back.

The key point is that she has only been out for a short time and it is not time for her to go back yet.

Otherwise, the old guy at home who can’t tell the difference between relatives and friends won’t learn his lesson!

Ma Xiuzhen shook her head and refused, "I have to help Ah Xin take care of the children here, so I don't have time to care about him."

Zhang Pandi looked at her indifferent third brother Zhang Heping and said helplessly: "Mom, even if you don't go back, you can always call my dad more!"

"Long-distance calls are too expensive!" Ma Xiuzhen continued to refuse, "I don't have anything to say to that old man!"

"Whatever you want!" Zhang Pandi picked up the kettle in the guesthouse and started to drive people away. "You guys go back early. I'll go get a kettle of hot water and get ready for bed."

"Second sister, you live here alone, remember to close the doors and windows!" Ma Xiuzhen followed her out, and reminded her: "Call us if you have any problems."

"Don't worry!" Zhang Pandi forced a smile and said, "This is the company's guesthouse, not a residential building near the station. You don't have to worry about my safety."

Zhang Heping, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Mom, this is the first time my second sister is going away from home, so you should stay here with her tonight."

When Ma Xiuzhen heard this, she was immediately attracted!

The main reason was that she had a lot of things to ask Zhang Pandi, but she hadn't found the opportunity today.

In the afternoon, Zhang Pandi went to a meeting first, then was called out by Director Wang to talk, and then was called out by Zhang Heping to talk.

Finally, at the dinner table, Ma Xiuzhen didn't dare to ask too much about family matters because there were outsiders present.

At this time, after hearing what Zhang Heping said, and Zhang Pandi also wanted to inquire about her third brother Zhang Heping from her mother Ma Xiuzhen, they all agreed.

"Call the hotel if you have anything, and come to the hotel for dinner tomorrow."

When Zhang Heping heard that Lao Zhang slapped Zhang Cuishan, he was actually a little curious, but he didn't understand Lao Zhang's motive for hitting him.

After returning to Baiyun Hotel, Zhang Heping first went to the third floor to dismantle the mahjong table.

"According to experts, playing mahjong after 8pm can easily lead to hair loss, wrinkles, acne, age spots, and ..."

"Oh! Mr. Zhang, if you want to take Ah Xin upstairs, just tell us. We are not going to let her go. Why do you have to scare me with what the expert said?"

"If you don't believe what the experts say, forget it. I'm going upstairs first!"

Zhang Heping's last sentence was obviously meant for Tang Xin.

After he left the small private room, he went to talk to Chen Shuting's table, then took his children upstairs to wash up and prepare for bed.

"Dad, can we go to your room first and wait for Mom to open her presents before we go to bed?"

"Dad, we made a bet about whether Mom would like the gift you gave her. I chose I like it, but Xiaolong and Xiaohu said they don't like it."
