Chapter 579 Finalizing the Details
After all, everyone has to save face, and Xu Jingshan is no exception. Moreover, his self-esteem is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so this weakness was directly exploited by Zhang Huaiyuan.
Zhang Huaiyuan took advantage of this "fact" and ended up making Xu Jingshan depressed for another day.
Having nowhere to vent, he finally found an outlet. After returning home, Li Zhenmin noticed that he looked unhappy and immediately betrayed Xiaoguang. Then Xiaoguang successfully took the blame.
Although Xiaoguang was very active in front of Xu Jingshan, he was still very honest in front of Li Zhenmin. In addition, Shen Wenyin was there, so the final outcome was naturally that he was punished and made to stand for two hours.
Time flies by.
The day finally arrived when Zhao Yuanshan officially resigned and retired. Everyone gathered together for another meal and also discussed matters concerning Ma Lanlan.
At the dinner, Zhao Yuanshan asked about the situation of the Xu family in a roundabout way.
Xu Jingshan replied forcefully, "Don't worry. I warned them last time, and they haven't bothered me since then. Xu Zhenguo knows his limits, and he came to apologize to me in person these past two days."
"What about you, Xiaoguang? Do you have any discussion with Xu Ling?" Zhang Huaiyuan couldn't help asking.
Xiao Guang scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "What else can I do? She took the initiative to confess to me before I even approached her. She is a smart person, I guess. She apologized to me sincerely and also expressed that she actually has real feelings for me."
Xu Jingshan frowned, then suddenly became interested and asked, "There's still this matter? What about you? Have you forgiven me?"
Xiao Guang rolled his eyes and said, "Let's put things one way or the other. Although I think she is very sincere and does seem to have real feelings for me, after what happened, how can I still be with her? Being her colleague is the best I can do."
He still has the ability to distinguish this aspect.
He knew that his feelings might not be correct, so even if he felt that Xu Ling had real feelings for him, he didn't dare to gamble on this feeling. What if the other party was acting?
Having been used once, he doesn't want to fall into the same trap again.
Zhang Huaiyuan joked, "You don't have any feelings for her at all? Or, continue to be with her? You are not a child anymore, are you?"
Xiao Guang said in embarrassment: "Grandpa Zhang, please don't laugh at me. I surrender. It's better not to continue this kind of thing."
A few people laughed, and then talked about Ma Lanlan's matter. Finally, they decided to take action tomorrow. It is better to deal with such things as soon as possible.
"Okay, that's it. I'll handle the investigation, and everything will go according to what we've agreed on. As for Hu Yong, Zhenmin, you can talk to your parents yourself, and you can handle the specifics yourself. It's getting late, so let's go."
In the end, Zhang Huaiyuan made the decision and no one else objected.
Zhang Huaiyuan has already investigated more than half of the matter, so it would be most appropriate for him to continue investigating the rest.
.........
After the dinner, Li Zhenmin asked Xiaoguang to take Xu Jingshan home, and he turned back to the compound.
After returning to the compound, he told Li Tieguo and others roughly what he had discussed with Zhang Huaiyuan and others, so that they could make preparations.
Hearing this, Li Tieguo, Jiang Tao and the old lady all became nervous, especially the old lady. Her hands began to tremble with anxiety, and the heartache for her grandson in her eyes was almost materializing.
Li Zhenmin thought for a moment and said, "Once the investigation is complete, I will confess to Xiaoyong and then say that I told you after the investigation is complete. This way he won't think that you have been hiding things from him and he will feel better."
long silence.
Li Tieguo nodded: "Okay, let's do this. Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Xiaoyong has grown up and is not as fragile as you think. And it's best not to comfort him too much. Just a few words of comfort will be enough. The most important thing is to let him experience and think for himself. Only when he figures it out can he mature in the future."
As he spoke, his tone gradually became serious, with the unquestionable tone of the head of the family.
Jiang Tao could naturally hear it, and agreed: "Well, my mother and I both understand. If we keep holding him in our hands, he will never grow up."
"Since I found out about this, I have reflected a lot and tried to observe Xiaoyong from an outsider's perspective. I found that there are many worrying aspects about Xiaoyong. Compared with some of his peers, his ability to handle things is much worse and he is too soft-hearted about many things."
"As a man, this is not a virtue. If you don't change this bad habit, you won't be able to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities when you get married, and you won't have your own opinions if something serious happens."
"Zhenmin, if possible, you should take care of him more, let him spend more time with you, let him spend more time with Wanying and Xiaoguang, and don't let him hang out with those messy people."
"You know, I can't control Xiaoyong with my temper, so I hope you can help me more."
Jiang Tao's tone was sincere and his logic was very clear.
What she said was not only about her own shortcomings, but also about the old lady's shortcomings, and she was also making decisions for the old lady.
With a woman like this to assist a man, things in the family will go much more smoothly.
Maybe Jiang Tao is not as knowledgeable as Shen Wenyin, and not as calm when facing things, but like Shen Wenyin, she is a person who knows the general situation and knows the limits, and is good at reading other people's faces and the atmosphere before doing things.
Li Zhenmin couldn't bring himself to reject such a woman, not to mention that she was his stepmother and a part of the family, and her demands were not excessive.
"Mom, don't blame yourself. You've done enough. It's me who hasn't fulfilled my responsibilities as the eldest brother. For the next year, until the college entrance examination is resumed, let Xiaoyong live with me. When he goes to college, I will change my unit and prepare to go to the Railway Bureau..."
As Li Zhenmin was talking, the others' attention was diverted.
Before he finished speaking, Li Tieguo asked, "Railway Bureau? What are you going there for? Isn't your job good now?"
If Li Zhenmin didn't tell others about some of his things, Li Tieguo and others would not know about them, including the Xu family's affairs this time, which his family members still don't know about.
Li Zhenmin explained: "This is a plan I had thought of a long time ago. I have told you about it before, but some details need to be changed."
"I had planned to transfer directly from the factory to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and start this year, but now Xiaoyong needs to take the college entrance examination, so I plan to stay for another year."
"I went to work for the railway a year later. Director Yang was already working there, so it was easy for me to go there. At the same time, I would communicate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences about the work scheduling."
"That means I will have two identities there, one as a staff member of the Railway Bureau, and one as a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. With the help of Director Yang, I will apply to go on business trips frequently, and I will have a lot of free time, which I will use for research."
Li Zhenmin was afraid that Li Tieguo and others would worry, so he simply explained the matter.
Hearing this, Jiang Tao frowned and said, "Business trip? Then you will have little time at home in the future? Are you going to go out of town?"
Li Zhenmin nodded: "Yes, because I want to study communications, that is, telephones, which requires laying equipment and testing all over the country, so I need to use my position to take a train to various parts of the country to take a look. This will not only help my research, but also accumulate experience for my future career."
