Chapter 351 Such Gifts
"Chief She, actually, I asked Brother Zu to call you here this time because I want to ask for your help with something." Zhang Hao said.
Upon hearing this, She Zhiwen said, "Chief Zhang, you are so polite. If you have anything to ask, just ask Lao De to call me. There is no need to invite me here."
Zhang Hao replied, "Chief She, if you want to ask someone to do something for you, you have to have the right attitude. You can't just make a phone call."
Zhu Laosi once heard someone say that when asking someone to do something for you, you must never say anything. You can only give them something after the task is completed. You must first show them the benefits so that they will help you sincerely.
So he immediately said: "Chief She, don't worry, I won't let you help me in vain. I have already prepared something for you."
Zhang Hao's face darkened when he heard this. Is this what you call knowing the ways of the world?
Is gift giving so straightforward?
When Shi Zhiwen heard this, he looked embarrassed and quickly refused, "Uncle, what are you doing? We are public officials. How can we accept things from you? Isn't that a violation of discipline?"
"Chief She, if you don't accept it, it means you don't want to help, so you must accept it."
As he said that, he picked up the black plastic bag and placed it heavily on the table in front of him with a muffled sound.
Zhang Hao looked at the black bag in front of him and suddenly felt a little frightened. Would Zhu Laosi take out some weird things from it?
The next second, Zhu Laosi opened the black plastic bag and pulled it down, revealing a complete pig's head inside.
The moment the pig head appeared, everyone fell silent.
In such an antique room, a pig's head suddenly appears, which is totally out of place!
Zhang Hao opened his mouth slightly. He never dreamed that the gift prepared by Zhu Laosi would be a cooked pig's head.
Zhu Laosi didn't realize the awkwardness of the atmosphere at this point, and said proudly, "Chief She, this pig's head has been stewed for three hours, and it's been thoroughly marinated. It tastes great."
She Zhiwen looked at the pig-headed figure in front of him. To be honest, he felt a little confused. He had accepted many gifts over the years, including shopping cards, bathing cards, cigarettes and alcohol, and even more direct gifts such as cash.
But this is the first time in the world that someone has given away a cooked pig's head!
So he forced a smile on his face: "Haha, is... is that so?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, try it."
As Zhu Laosi spoke, he grabbed the pig's ear and pulled it off with force, then put it towards She Zhiwen's mouth.
to be frank.
Shi Zhiwen stared at the pig ears beside his mouth. His mind was blank, with only three sentences echoing in his mind: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Laosi's rude behavior and felt very uncomfortable. He stopped him and said, "Second uncle, put away the pig ears. Who would give such a gift?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Laosi asked in confusion, "Chief She doesn't like pig heads, so what do you like? Pig liver, pig lungs, pig stomach, pig intestines, or even pig trotters? Just give me a word and I'll deliver it to you. I cook them myself and guarantee they're clean and hygienic."
Zu Wende's face flushed red as he stood aside. He had never seen such things as gifts before.
Zhang Hao was also somewhat helpless. Honestly, if it weren't for his second aunt, he really wanted to turn around and leave. "Don't mind that Section Chief She. My second aunt is quite honest, so he..."
She Zhiwen smiled awkwardly and said, "I understand, I understand. Actually, this thing is pretty good. When I have nothing to do at night, I also like to buy some cooked food and drink. Let's not talk about this for now. Chief Zhang, what did you just say?"
Zhang Hao said: "Actually, it's about my second uncle. He opened a delicatessen, but was cheated by someone. The other party took the money and made a fake business license, which led to the delicatessen being closed down and fined. Can you help me? But don't worry about the fine, we will pay it. I just want you to help me get a business license."
"And don't worry, I guarantee that the delicatessen is very clean and sanitary, and I will definitely not embarrass you."
When She Zhiwen heard that it was just such a small matter, he immediately said, "Section Chief Zhang, what's the point of fines or no fines? In fact, you are also victims. What matters now is humane law enforcement."
"If we fine you again, wouldn't it make our Administration for Industry and Commerce seem unkind? As for the business license, it's a trivial matter. Ask your second uncle to give me his ID card, and I'll have someone get it done for me when I get home, and then give it to you."
"Chief She, thank you so much!" Zhang Hao expressed his gratitude.
"It's just a small matter." She Zhiwen said nonchalantly.
"Section Chief Zhang, you guys go ahead and do your work. I still have some things to deal with in this bureau, so it wouldn't be good if I were to be away for too long. I'll be leaving first."
As for the fact that he helped Zhang Hao and did not receive any benefits, he didn't care at all.
By doing such a small thing, I can get closer to Zhang Hao, which is really a huge profit. What's more, since I helped him this time, if I need Zhang Hao's help next time, I don't believe he will refuse me.
Zhang Hao said, "Business is more important, Chief She. I won't keep you here any longer. I have some things to take care of tonight. So when I have time, let's go out for a drink together."
"no problem."
She Zhiwen agreed immediately.
When Zhu Laosi saw She Zhiwen about to leave, he quickly said, "Chief She, take Pighead back with you."
As he spoke, he picked up the pig's head and stuffed it into She Zhiwen's hand.
She Zhiwen couldn't refuse the kindness, so he could only accept the pig head and leave. As for whether he would take it back to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, that was not certain.
After She Zhiwen left, Zu Wende also said goodbye and left.
Only Zhang Hao, Zhu Laosi and Yu Xiuqin were left in the tea room.
Zhu Laosi said excitedly: "Xiaohao, if it weren't for you, your second uncle wouldn't know what to do. So, you go back with your second uncle, and your second uncle will bring you some pig's trotters to eat."
Zhang Hao heard this and said with a dark face: "Second uncle, we are all family, so there is no need for pig's trotters. But let's discuss this. Next time if you give someone something as a gift, can you please not give a pig's head or something like that?"
"What's wrong with the pig's head? A pig's head sells for more than two hundred yuan." Zhu Laosi asked in confusion.
Zhang Hao didn't know how to explain it. From Zhu Laosi's perspective, Zhu Laosi was a country boy and was quite down-to-earth. Giving gifts meant giving what he thought was most precious to others, asking them to do something for him.
To Zhu Laosi, this pig's head is the most valuable thing, so there is nothing wrong with giving it as a gift.
He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Second Uncle. I also have to go back to the Procuratorate to work. I'll leave first. If you encounter any problems in the future, call me first. We are all relatives. There is no need to be embarrassed."
After Zhang Hao said goodbye to Yu Xiuqin and the others, he looked at the time and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
If I finish eating and then go back to the procuratorate, it will probably be close to four o'clock, and it will be almost time to get off work. What's the point of going back?
So I gave up eating and went back to the procuratorate to continue working.
Of course, before leaving, Zhang Hao paid for the tea first. Otherwise, if he asked his second aunt and the others to pay the bill, he would definitely be so heartbroken that he would not be able to sleep all night.
Just as I was getting off work, I received a call from Kuang Shiqing. In order to prevent me from standing her up, she actually waited for me at the door of the procuratorate.
As a grown man, Zhang Hao didn't have the nerve to let a girl like Kuang Shiqing wait for him outside.
I could only tidy up the desk roughly and leave the procuratorate.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Kuang Shiqing.
When Kuang Shiqing saw Zhang Hao, she immediately came up to him happily, hugged Zhang Hao's arm and said, "Brother Hao."
Zhang Hao felt a little uncomfortable when Kuang Shiqing hugged his arm, but if he just broke free, he was afraid that Kuang Shiqing would be suspicious, so he could only let Kuang Shiqing hug him and asked, "Why did you really come? I can go by myself."
Kuang Shiqing's eyes curved into crescents as she said, "I'm not afraid that bad woman Song Yao will come and intercept us again. Come on, Brother Hao, tonight I'll show you the cooking skills I've learned recently, and I guarantee you'll be amazed."
Zhang Hao couldn't help but think of the dark dishes made by Kuang Shiqing in his mind, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Should he go to the pharmacy to buy some stomach medicine first, or go to the hospital to make an appointment first, so that he wouldn't be too late in the end?
But he said, "Then I'll wait and see."
Kuang Shiqing happily took Zhang Hao's hand and walked away.
This scene happened to be seen by a colleague behind him.
These people saw Zhang Hao and Su Mengxue leaving as a couple yesterday, and today he actually left with a good-looking girl in an intimate manner.
Immediately, everyone started talking: "Did you see that?"
"I saw it. What do you think is going on with Zhang Hao? He was with Su Mengxue yesterday, and now he's with other girls."
"Is there even a need to ask? He's clearly a scumbag, playing with a young girl's feelings."
"This kind of scum is unfit to be a prosecutor. He is simply scum."
"I can't help it, he's just handsome."
"Huh, just because you're handsome you can do whatever you want? I look like Pan An, so why am I not two-timing?"
Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and he claimed to be someone who looked like Pan An.
Then I just want to ask: Who gave you the courage to say that?
He also looks like Pan An.
If Pan An knew about this in the afterlife, he would probably jump out in anger, slap you two big bitches, and call you a shameless donkey!
"Shh, stop talking about it. It would be bad if Inspector Shen heard about it."
"What happened? It would be bad if it got to our No. 2 Middle School." At this moment, Shen Hongcai's voice rang out among the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and found that Shen Hongcai had been standing behind them without them noticing when, and a guilty look immediately appeared on their faces.
Shen Hongcai saw that no one was talking: "Why are you all silent? I'm not a cannibal. Tell me, what is it that shouldn't be passed on to my ears, Yu Yan, tell me."
Yu Yan, whose name was called, cried out in his heart that he was unlucky. How could he be called out of so many people?
"Inspector Shen, it's nothing."
Shen Hongcai said in a dignified manner: "Nothing, you mean that I am old and deaf and I heard it wrong, right?"
Yu Yan quickly denied it, "Prosecutor Shen, that's not what I meant."
"Then tell me quickly." Shen Hongcai urged.
Yu Yan could only recount to Shen Hongcai what had just happened.
After listening to this, Shen Hongcai frowned and said, "I see that your workload is still not full. You still have time to gossip after get off work. You are all prosecutors. Don't you know that seeing is believing and hearing is believing? Everything must be based on facts."
"Even Zhang Hao, Su Mengxue, and this girl are not related. They are just talking nonsense. Let's disperse quickly."
Now that Shen Hongcai had spoken, these people dared not stay here and turned around and left.
After everyone left, Shen Hong frowned. It seemed that he would have to find time to talk to Zhang Hao tomorrow.
Although Zhang Hao is not married now, he must pay attention to his private life.
Especially since Su Mengxue is still within the system, if she causes any trouble, it will affect her promotion.
……
Zhang Hao still doesn't know what happened after he left the procuratorate.
Kuang Shiqing did not return home immediately with Zhang Hao, but took Zhang Hao to buy vegetables first, and kept asking Zhang Hao what kind of dishes he liked to eat on the way.
When Zhang Hao heard this question, his first thought was, it’s not about what dishes I like to eat, but it depends on what you can cook, okay?
But he said: "As long as it's made by you, I like it."
Kuang Shiqing showed a shy look on her face, mixed with happiness, and her heart was beating fast. Was Zhang Hao's words equivalent to confessing his love to her?
It's so annoying. I'm not mentally prepared yet.
Zhang Hao and Su Mengxue were walking around the market, and then Zhang Hao asked, "Kuang Shiqing, what do the uncle and aunt like?"
As soon as Kuang Shiqing heard this, she knew what Zhang Hao was going to do and said, "Brother Hao, you don't have to buy anything for them. They have everything they need."
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Of course I don't need it, but I'm visiting your home, so this is a matter of courtesy."
Kuang Shiqing thought about it and felt that what Zhang Hao said made sense. If she didn’t bring anything, her mother wouldn’t have any objections.
But my father is narrow-minded, and he will definitely find fault if I don’t bring anything.
If Kuang Yongchang knew that his little cotton-padded jacket thought of him this way, he would definitely feel upset, thinking that his little cotton-padded jacket was leaking. Is he so petty?
So he said: "My mother likes..."
After listening to this, Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You go buy some groceries first, and I'll go buy some gifts for your uncle and aunt."
Kuang Shiqing originally wanted to go with Zhang Hao, but was rejected by Zhang Hao. Things like buying gifts should be done by one person. Otherwise, Kuang Shiqing would have to pay for it. Then would the gift still be considered bought by herself?
Zhang Hao turned and left to buy gifts for Kuang Yongchang and his wife. Half an hour later, the two met outside the market and went to Kuang Shiqing's house together...
