Before meeting the tea farmers, they had to pay a visit to the local officials. How to end the farce of the 7,000-acre tea garden still had to rely on the power of the local government. After being introduced by Fan Bo and Ye Zhiwei, Fu Minzhi warmly welcomed the arrival of Wen Liang and An Baoqing, and repeatedly stated that the tea farmer incident on January 1 was just the irrational behavior of a few people, and would not cause any losses or troubles to investors and tea companies. The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the parents of one party had expressed their gratitude. How could Wen Liang not reciprocate? He praised Wujiang's investment environment and thanked the county party committee and government for their support for his company. He showed his good dancing skills and smoothness when he was in Beijing. He chatted and laughed with Fu Minzhi over a cup of tea, and joked with them like old friends. An Baoqing had seen this scene many times, so it was not surprising, but Fan Bo and Ye Zhiwei on the side were secretly amazed and shocked by Wen Liang's omnipotence.
When Wen Liang expressed his intention to visit Donghe Village, the enthusiastic Secretary Fu insisted on accompanying him personally, but was politely declined by Wen Liang. What a joke, with a leader like you who "sells his father's land without feeling sorry for it" following him, let alone appeasing the tea farmers, maybe everyone will have to live in the cowshed tonight...
But in the end, Fu Minzhi still asked the deputy director of the county party committee office to accompany them. He was not only a guide, but also a safety guarantee when necessary. The deputy director, who was about 27 or 28 years old, was named Yao Shang. She was a typical Jiangnan woman, with fair and tender skin, charming eyebrows and eyes, wearing a solid double-breasted woolen coat and black slim-fitting casual pencil pants. No matter from which angle you look at her, her figure is as graceful as a girl, but she has a bit more charm and charm that only young women can have in her swaying.
Wen Liang shook her hand and said with a smile, "It's hard to go into the mountains on a snowy day. Thank you for troubling Director Yao."
Yao Shang smiled and said, "It seems that Premier Wen is not satisfied with the conditions of our roads. How about investing another 10 or 20 million to help the people of Wujiang solve their travel difficulties?"
Wen Liang laughed loudly, turned around and said to Fu Minzhi: "Secretary Fu, you have so many talented people under your command. I will be in trouble if I turn around before I finish this sentence. OK, Director Yao, I was just being polite to you, please don't really attract investment from me..."
A group of men burst into laughter, of course, because Wen Liang's words were mixed with some vulgar content, but what he said was funny, and even Yao Shang smiled openly, with drooping eyelids, and her long eyelashes gently blinking. A faint blush appeared on her ears, but she did not feel disgusted in her heart, which was abnormal.
Wen Liang opened the door of the Land Rover and asked Yao Shang to get in first, but he was puzzled. Although it was only a moment, the shyness in Yao Shang's eyes did not escape his eyes. Of course, normal women would be shy when they heard teasing, which was nothing strange, but as the deputy director of the county party committee office, with such a figure and appearance, a woman who was named by Fu Minzhi to accompany him, blushing and shying just by hearing such a small content was very abnormal.
Wen Liang glanced at Fu Minzhi. His eyes were fixed on Yao Shang's raised buttocks when she bent over to get into the car. Deep in his dim eyes, there was an unconcealable desire and eagerness.
Wen Liang was even more confused. If Fu Minzhi was interested, a mere deputy director would have no way of escaping his clutches unless he quit his job. But judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had not succeeded yet.
What does this indicate
Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Fu, shall we go first?"
"Okay, okay, walk slowly!"
Fu Minzhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly retracted his greedy gaze and instructed Yao Shang in the car, "Xiao Yao, remember to come to the office after accompanying the guests and report the situation to me. If there are any problems that need to be solved, the county can handle them as soon as possible."
Yao Shang agreed in the car, and Wen Liang and An Baoqing also got in. The driver was still Viper. Fan Bo, Ye Zhiwei and others got in another car, and the two cars left one after the other.
Wujiang County as a whole is high in the west and low in the east. The east is mostly water-networked plains and low-lying polder fields, and the west is low mountains and hills. It extends into Taihu Lake along the remnants of Tianmu Mountain and is distributed in islands by the lake and along the lakeside towns. Although Wen Liang had been to Wuzhou many times in his previous life, this was his first time to come to Wujiang, the legendary paradise in paradise. The group set out from Changqiao Town, passed through Yuexi Town via Wujiang Avenue, and then passed Qingming Mountain from Lumu and Xinlu to enter the Taihu Ring Road. Yao Shang didn't say much along the way, but she was very decent. She seemed to sit there casually, but she could stand up straight and tighten her abdomen, her shoulders drooped and expanded, her pointed bamboo shoot-shaped chest was naturally upright, her lower jaw was restrained, her head was straight and her shoulders were level, her legs were close together and slightly sideways, and her dignified temperament from the inside out didn't look like a person raised in a small county town at all.
Wen Liang thought of the scene just now, and out of curiosity, he tried to find out her background and asked, "Director Yao is married? Where does your lover work?"
"She is also in Wujiang. She is a grassroots worker serving the people. She doesn't want to compete with your big boss."
Yao Shang is not only beautiful, but also has an IQ that is higher than the average. This sentence is a hidden needle, and it is obvious that she does not want to say more. Wen Liang certainly will not deliberately ask more questions, and changed the topic, saying: "You can't compare. You serve the people, and we work hard to make money, but if we serve you, maybe one day a piece of official document will confiscate our property."
Yao Shang glanced at Wen Liang's face, her charming eyes showing a gentle smile, and said: "Boss Wen has done nothing wrong, so he doesn't have to worry about ghosts knocking on his door..."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "If all female ghosts were as pretty as Director Yao, it wouldn't hurt to do something bad."
After a conversation, although I was unable to get her to say anything, I became more familiar with her. When passing by Lumu Village, I saw Wen Liang was interested in the pedestrians wearing ethnic costumes on the roadside, so Yao Shang took the initiative to introduce them: "These are the ethnic minorities in Suzhou... Oh, what's so surprising? Of course, it's just a compliment, not a real ethnic minority! Look at their clothes, they are wearing headscarves, headscarves, patchwork shirts and patchwork pants, and their skirts are Cambodian skirts. They wear embroidered shoes. This group of women are all older women, so their clothes are mainly dark colors, which look simple and solemn. If you meet young and beautiful girls later, the colors of their clothes will become brighter and more beautiful."
Yao Shang started to point out the window and introduce the local customs and practices. The Wu dialect sounded very lively and pleasant, and the bumpy road due to the snow seemed to become comfortable. When the car got on the Taihu Bridge, the vast expanse of clear water and the hazy mist were seen everywhere. The occasional north wind whistled past, and the trees immediately fell or swayed. Although they were no longer as lively as in spring and summer, they also added a sense of magnificence to the quiet Taihu Lake in winter.
Xiting Town is right in front of us.
As the mountain rose and fell, the road conditions became worse and worse, and the bumps in the car became more and more serious. Yao Chang accidentally bumped into Wen Liang several times. The friction between her legs was the most tempting. If it were someone else, no matter how upright they were, they would not be able to resist the temptation. But Uncle Wen was as firm as a rock after all. He only had a mischievous smile on his face, and seeing her trying to be calm but actually being extremely shy, he found some fun in this boring journey.
After walking more than ten miles on the circular mountain road, we finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Donghe Village. Old Wang's house is at the entrance of the village, only a hundred meters away from the Yuwang Temple at the entrance of the village. Everyone got off the car one after another, and the cold air hit us, and the green everywhere made us feel refreshed. When we got here, it was like a fairyland on earth. The tea trees in the mountains were mixed with peach, plum, apricot, plum, persimmon, orange, ginkgo, pomegranate and other fruit trees, covered with frost and snow, and shaded by the autumn sun. The tea trees and fruit trees are connected by branches and roots, and the tea absorbs the fragrance of the fruit, and the flowers scent the tea, finally achieving the supreme glory of Biluochun, the first of the top ten famous teas.
Wen Liang sighed as he walked, "The tea fields are winding and winding, and the wild paths are winding. Facing the sun, the tea trees are dense, and facing the stream, the tea trees are not dense. The clouds are slowly winding in the distance, and the incense is scattered in the fire. Where is the best place to meet in seclusion, when the spring dew covers the rocks in the morning? When I read Lu Guimeng's "Tea House Poems", I was young and frivolous, and I said a lot of disrespectful things. Today, when I came here, I realized that the beautiful scenery in the poem is not even a fraction of what it is..."
Yao Shang led the way, looking back and laughing softly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wen is a cultured person. Manager Fan, what are people like this usually called?"
Fan Bo had dealt with Yao Shang several times. This beautiful young woman always behaved in a businesslike manner, and her polite smile was enough to keep people away. But for some reason, she showed such a charming expression after being in the car with Wen Liang for less than two hours. Fan Bo, who was a little dizzy for a moment, was simply shocked by his boss's methods. He looked at Wen Liang with admiration and replied, "A scholar businessman!"
"Oh, this word is well said, it's a Confucian businessman!"
Wen Liang pointed at Yao Shang and joked, "Director Yao, you're flattering the wrong person. You think you're a Confucian businessman just by reciting a few poems? That's really insulting! Old Ye, come and tell us what a Confucian businessman is."
Ye Zhiwei always had that respectful look. He stood sideways and said, "To cultivate oneself and bring peace to the country is called Confucianism, to promote the flow of goods and bribes is called business. The so-called Confucian business is nothing more than 'establishing oneself and establishing others, achieving oneself and achieving others'!"
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Wen Liang knew that his words were a bit too high-level, so he laughed and scolded: "You dare to show off when Teacher Fan is here? Speak Mandarin!"
Yao Shang smiled again, and even she herself felt that since she met Mr. Wen, who looked very young but very humorous, she seemed to be unable to stop smiling.
Ye Zhiwei quickly changed his words and said, "To put it simply, a gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way!"
Wen Liang stopped, put his hands behind his back and looked up at the dilapidated house of Old Wang in front of him, and said calmly: "Yes, it is true that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way!"
Although his voice was soft, somehow, everyone was shocked. Since An Baoqing, everyone stood behind him in silence. Yao Shang was taken by the atmosphere in front of her, put away her smile, pulled the collar of her coat nervously, and looked at Wen Liang's back, her eyes suddenly complicated.
A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way!
Fan Bo's palms were sweating. Only then did he truly understand how much he had violated Wen Liang's taboo by trying to take advantage of the favorable weather and location to seize the tea gardens on which the tea farmers depended for their survival!
