This is a model project jointly created by the municipal party committee secretary Song Wendi and the mayor Zhang Guoxin through compromise. From a strategic perspective, its importance is no less than the construction of the Yuhu Ecological Zone.
Song Wendi comes to Nanyuan Old Street every month to investigate the progress of the project, which ensures that difficult and complicated problems can be solved as soon as possible during the implementation of the project.
Fang Zhicheng and Tong Siqing walked side by side. Because Tong Siqing had lived here for many years, people would greet her from time to time on the roadside. Tong Siqing kept a certain distance from Fang Zhicheng to avoid being seen through by others about their special relationship.
Unconsciously, they arrived at the Taoist temple. Tong Siqing glanced at Fang Zhicheng and asked calmly, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Taoist Chen Yi for a long time. I have time to come here today, so I will visit him naturally."
Chapter 0214: Calligraphy and Chess Skills Have Improved
After entering the Taoist temple, he met Chen Yi in the side room. Chen Yi was practicing calligraphy and was very happy to see Fang Zhicheng, so he invited Fang Zhicheng to try writing a piece. Fang Zhicheng picked up the pen and thought for a long time, and wrote down the four words "天高望远". Chen Yi liked it very much and praised with a smile: "Zhicheng, your calligraphy has improved a lot, and you can already integrate the spirit into the tip of the pen. If you keep persisting, you will definitely achieve something."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands quickly and said modestly: "I am showing off my skills in front of an expert. Master Chen Yi, please don't praise me too much, otherwise I will become proud."
Chen Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am a person who has left the world. I always speak freely and casually, and I like to express my true feelings. Your handwriting is good if it is good, and bad if it is bad. There is no need for me to hide it. You have been practicing calligraphy for nearly a year, and you have already shown the style of a master. If you persist for another four or five years, you will definitely become a master. But persistence is the most difficult thing in this world."
Fang Zhicheng didn't expect Chen Yi to think so highly of him, so he stopped being modest and smiled lightly. Tong Siqing's eyes fell on the calligraphy, and after reading it again and again, she also felt that Fang Zhicheng's calligraphy had made great progress, and it was unrestrained and unconventional, forming its own style.
People outside the world, with immortal spirits and Taoist spirits, are people like Chen Yi. Fang Zhicheng likes to communicate with Chen Yi very much, because he can learn a lot of cultural essences inherited from China's 5,000-year civilization from him. This kind of cultural heritage cannot be touched in the exam-oriented education, and it is also the core connotation that China wants to work hard to re-condense after the reform and opening up and the loss of national beliefs.
The three of them drank a cup of tea in the private room. Chen Yi suddenly stared at Fang Zhicheng, his expression changed a little, and he pondered. Fang Zhicheng was puzzled and asked with a faint smile: "Master Chen Yi, do you have something to tell me?"
Chen Yi shook his head and didn't say anything. Fang Zhicheng and Tong Siqing looked at each other, not knowing what the problem was.
After a long time, Chen Yi finally broke the silence and reminded softly: "Zhicheng, you have to be careful recently. Judging from your face, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster."
Tong Siqing was shocked. The reason why this Taoist temple in Nanyuan Old Street has always been popular is because Taoist Master Chen Yi has the ability to tell fortunes by pinching his fingers, but he rarely speaks. At the beginning, Li Mingxue and Tong Siqing were still unable to get pregnant after a year of marriage. Taoist Master Chen Yi only took a look and calculated that there would be news in a certain month. Sure enough, his prediction came true. Taoist Master Chen Yi is very low-key, but among many people in Nanyuan Old Street, he is called a half-immortal.
If Chen Yi said that Fang Zhicheng would have a bloody disaster, this was probably correct, so Tong Siqing became nervous and asked, "Is there any way to avoid it?"
Chen Yi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I just pondered for a long time, trying to figure out a solution to the situation. It's a pity that I am destined to have such a catastrophe, and I can't avoid it no matter what."
Tong Siqing was about to ask again, but Fang Zhicheng reached out to stop her and said with a smile, "Thank you for your reminder, Master. I will be careful and cautious."
It was rumored that there would be so-called divine punishment for leaking the secrets of heaven. Chen Yi had already made an exception by speaking out, and if he continued to speak, the divine punishment he might receive would be even more severe. Although Fang Zhicheng did not believe in this feudal superstition, he felt bad for Chen Yi for saying so much, so he did not want to let Chen Yi continue.
Fang Zhicheng's heart is still relatively sunny. He doesn't believe in any bloody disaster. Even if he encounters one, he will face it head on. It's no big deal.
Chen Yi saw Fang Zhicheng's thoughts, nodded and smiled faintly, and sighed: "If you face the problem with this mentality, I believe it will be solved easily."
The two sat for a while, then said goodbye and left. Seeing Fang Zhicheng and Tong Siqing off, Chen Yi looked at their backs, his expression became complicated, as if he was talking to himself: "A crazy man and a resentful woman are paired together, and morality and human relations are thrown away; entangled for a lifetime, who is right and who is wrong?"
Fang Zhicheng sent Tong Siqing to the door of her house. Tong Siqing smiled and invited her, "Would you like to come in and sit down? No one is home. Mr. Li is on a business trip today and will not be back until next Tuesday or Wednesday. My son is also at his grandmother's house..."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and refused: "Going in is not as simple as just sitting there. I'm afraid I can't control myself!"
Tong Siqing's face flushed, she lowered her eyelids and said softly: "Then just go, so I don't have to worry."
Fang Zhicheng looked around and saw no one. He reached out and grabbed Tong Siqing's slender hand, kneading it for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "Sister Siqing, I think our relationship should not only exist on the physical level. If you have any problems, you can also talk to me."
Tong Siqing stared at Fang Zhicheng's sincere eyes, and after a glance, she felt her heart melt. At this time, footsteps came from the alley, and she quickly retracted her hand. Fang Zhicheng also subconsciously took a step back. The other party was an old lady, and Tong Siqing greeted her guiltily. The old lady's eyes were not very sharp, and she scanned Fang Zhicheng again and again, as if she wanted to see Fang Zhicheng clearly, and then there was a strange arc at the corner of her mouth.
The old lady's expression made Tong Siqing and Fang Zhicheng a little crazy, as if their affair had been discovered.
After the old lady left, Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I was originally planning to go in and sit down, but now forget it."
Tong Siqing knew that Fang Zhicheng had just been frightened and had lost his courage, so she stretched out her jade finger and touched the tip of his nose, smiling, and said unhappily, "Look at your courage."
Fang Zhicheng said awkwardly, "Let's be on the safe side. If we are caught in bed, we will be ruined."
In fact, Tong Siqing's invitation was still quite tempting, but Fang Zhicheng suddenly remembered a story that often appeared in gossip news, where a wife took her lover home while her husband was away, and was caught in the act. She jumped out to the balcony in her disheveled state and ended up getting hung on the air conditioner.
Having an affair at Tong Siqing's house was extremely exciting and challenging, but Fang Zhicheng still resisted the idea. It would be irrational to ruin his reputation for the sake of momentary pleasure.
Fang Zhicheng was about to turn around and leave when two old gentlemen, Tong Mengyuan and Li Dehan, came towards him. Li Dehan saw Fang Zhicheng was about to leave, and hurriedly stopped him, saying with a smile: "We just passed by the Taoist temple, and Taoist Chen Yi said he saw you two, so Lao Meng and I hurried over. Xiao Fang, don't be in a hurry to leave. Lao Meng and I fight against each other every day, and it's no longer fresh. You must play two games with us today."
Fang Zhicheng gave Tong Siqing a bitter smile, but Tong Siqing sighed inwardly. These two old gentlemen were so pedantic. Fang Zhicheng had seduced their daughter and daughter-in-law into bed, and they still regarded Fang Zhicheng as a friend regardless of age difference!
Unable to refuse the kindness, Fang Zhicheng went into the room and played a round with Li Dehan. For some reason, he was very lucky today and defeated Tong Mengyuan. After that, he fought with Li Dehan for a while and won by one and a half points. Li Dehan smiled helplessly and said, "Meng, let's not look for Xiao Fang in the future. If we keep playing like this, we will not be his opponent sooner or later."
Fang Zhicheng smiled modestly and said, "Thank you, teachers. I am still a novice."
Li Dehan waved his hand and commented impartially and objectively: "Your level has already reached the national level. Excessive modesty is pride. Your progress is really too fast."
As the former president of Yinzhou Chess Academy, Li Dehan's words naturally prove Fang Zhicheng's strength.
After dinner, Fang Zhicheng, Tong Mengyuan and Li Dehan said goodbye one after another. After seeing everyone off, Tong Siqing looked at the empty room and couldn't help falling into an inexplicable sadness.
Her husband Li Mingxue said that he was out attending a lecture, but according to information from other channels, Qi Fang was also on the list of people attending the lecture organized by the Education Bureau.
Tong Siqing found her cell phone and dialed Li Mingxue's number. After a long time, the call was connected and Li Mingxue's slightly hoarse voice came, "Wife, is there something wrong?"
Tong Siqing smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see if you are still used to staying here at night?"
"I'm used to it! I'm very tired from attending classes today, and I have to get up early tomorrow. I'm going to bed first." Li Mingxue's tone was a little tired, and there was a hint of impatience in his voice.
Tong Siqing sighed and said calmly: "Then I won't disturb your rest."
