Chapter Thirty-Four I Am a High-Achieving Student

  With the misunderstanding between them cleared up, Zhang Qingyun and Geng Shuang's conversation became much more casual. However, after what had just happened, Zhang Qingyun's intention to get close to Fang Ze also faded away. After all, he had just told a few lies in a row to put out the fire, and he still felt a bit guilty in his heart.

  The two of them chatted until almost eleven o'clock, and Zhang Qingyun was also exhausted from a day of running around. Geng Shuanghe couldn't help but notice that she was struggling to stay awake. So she made an excuse about being sleepy and returned to her room first.

  Geng Shuang left, and Zhang Qingyun fell onto the bed and started snoring loudly. He was indeed exhausted to the extreme, this day in Wude City was even more tiring than a month in Yongping.

  The next morning, Li Gang sent Xiao Wang to pick him up. Zhang Qingyun hastily said goodbye to Geng Shuang, who was washing up and understood that he had to leave. She herself couldn't return to Yongping for a few days due to business matters. After a brief farewell, Zhang Qingyun followed Xiao Wang out of the hotel.

  Driver Xiao Wang drove all the way, and the two arrived at Lijiang's home again. The whole Lijiang family was there, and Zhang Qingyun got out of the car to greet them one by one. Finally, Xiao Wang helped Lijiang prepare his luggage. After fussing for two hours, the three of them drove towards Yongping.

  Yongping is only over 100 kilometers away from Wude City, and the road conditions are very good. In just over an hour, Zhang Qingyun and the other two arrived in Yongping County. Since the county committee and government offices were closed for the day and would reopen tomorrow, after arriving in Yongping, Zhang Qingyun didn't plan to disturb Lei Gang again and instead headed straight home.

  "Xiao Zhang, wait a minute! I've prepared something for your grandfather, grandmother and parents. You take it over, okay? I won't go to your house to celebrate the New Year, you help me greet them!" Li Gang called out to Zhang Qingyun, gesturing towards a cardboard box in the trunk of the car.

  "What's going on here? You're my superior, you..." Zhang Qingyun said hastily.

  "What's wrong with that? These things aren't for you, they're a token of thoughtfulness for the elderly. Can you represent your grandparents and parents?" Lijiang said sternly.

  Zhang Qingyun suddenly stopped talking, but her face was still a bit hesitant and she didn't dare move forward to move things.

  "Little Wang, after you've put these things in order, send Little Zhang back. It's not convenient for him to move so many things." Lijiang said to the driver as he turned around.

  "Goodbye, goodbye, Director Li, you're busy too! I know you still have to go to Secretary Huang's place, just leave these things with me." Zhang Qingyun said repeatedly.

  "That's right! Young people shouldn't be too stubborn, during the holidays giving something to the elderly is what we should do as juniors." Lijiang said with a smile.

  Zhang Qingyun hastily acknowledged, rushed to the trunk of the car and moved the box out himself. As soon as he took it in hand, he felt a bit heavy, apparently this thing was not light. Immediately after, he hailed a taxi, bid farewell to Li Gang, and then instructed the driver to head home.

  "Dad, Mom. I'm back!"

  "Hey, Qingyun! What's that you're moving in?" Yin Su'e was cooking and heard Zhang Qingyun's voice from the kitchen, so she hurried to the living room to greet her.

  "This was given by the leader, I don't know what it is either, anyway it's quite heavy, let's take a look!" Zhang Qingyun put the box on the ground and stretched out his arm.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? You can't just take the leader's things!" Yun Su-e scolded. At this time, Zhang De-nian also arrived in the living room, covered in dust. Zhang Qing-yun asked and only then found out that her old dad was fixing the oil fume extractor.

  "What can I do? I've already said no, but the leader said these things aren't for me, they're for you two elders and grandfather and grandmother. I had to accept them."

  "Oh?" Yun Suyue's expression paused for a moment, and then she smiled all over her face. Just as she was about to turn her head to say something to Zhang Deyan, she heard Zhang Deyan exclaim:

  "Green cloud, who is your leader? Look at this...this..."

  Zhang Qingyun turned around and took a look, good guy, the cardboard box was full of top-grade health products for the elderly, and some rare items, including a longevity statue that rivaled Mount Nan, with copper inlays on the bottom, which looked like a high-end work of art. There was also a set of four treasures of the study, also packed in a delicate nanmu wood box with red silk lining, looking very classical and elegant.

  These things not only stunned Zhang Deyan's parents, but also stunned Zhang Qingyun. He had thought that Lijiang would send him something, just a casual gesture, maybe a few bottles of wine or cigarettes, but Lijiang obviously put some thought into it, he knew that Zhang Qingyun's parents were both teachers, and the four treasures of the study were elegant and refined things, perfectly matching the identity of a teacher, such gifts would definitely be more suitable than wine and cigarettes.

  At this moment, Zhang Qingyun was even a little moved, but more ashamed. This is the way of being an official! People often lament that society is unfair, and those with power are always from official families, but many people have not thought about it. Children who come out of official families, they have been influenced by their surroundings since childhood, and their understanding of the way of being an official is beyond comparison to children from ordinary families.

  Although Zhang Qingyun also knew that the things Li Gang sent from his home were definitely not sold with his own money, but rather randomly picked from the gift warehouse in his home. However, the other party's details are indeed well done, they know how to do human relationships, this is where he needs to learn.

  "Since it was the leader who sent it, you two elders should just accept it! I've been wanting to tell you both for a long time now, but I've been transferred to the county committee and temporarily serving as the secretary of the county magistrate. All these things were given by County Magistrate Li." Zhang Qingyun hesitated for a long time before speaking up, worried that if he didn't explain, the elderly at home would be uneasy.

  "County head?" The old couple looked at each other in dismay, hardly daring to believe their ears. In these few years, they had worried a lot about Zhang Qingyun's affairs. After graduating from university, this young man insisted on taking the civil service exam, but unfortunately, the Zhang family had no background and no money to bribe people, so his career had never taken off.

  This is great, this kid was unknown before, but now he's suddenly become the county head's secretary. How can these two old people adapt to such a change?

  "Good boy, such a big thing happened and you didn't even tell your family, do you still have any regard for your old dad and mom?!" After standing still for a long time, Yin Su'e turned around and scolded Zhang Qingyun with a smile on her face, she was truly delighted that her son had made something of himself.

  "What's there to say, I've already said it all. Your son is a high-achieving student, a rare talent, and will eventually make something of himself. Who made you always doubt him? Now you finally believe, right? The new county magistrate has a good eye for people, and chose me as his secretary directly." Zhang Qingyun said with a smile.

  "Ah..." Zhang Deyan's face changed, and he was about to scold Zhang Qingyun a few words, but then thought that he himself was in the wrong. Last time his son said he was a high-achieving student, and he had even scolded him a few times. But now this high-achieving student really did something, what could he say?

  "Updated an extra chapter in the wee hours, please recommend and collect! Let's rush to the top of the charts, we must rush to the top or there's no future for us, brothers! Everyone, let's support each other and push this book to the top!"
