The overall situation of Biluochun has been decided, and the five-star hotel project should also be put on the agenda. During this period, An Ye and others have focused their main attention on Suhai, and the negotiations with Yishan are in a semi-stagnant state. Fortunately, Yang Yihang and Yang Dingjun have close ties with the Wen family, so there is no rift. According to Wen Liang, Biluochun is just a branch after all, and the hotel is the top priority in the future. Since Ye Zhiwei cannot get away now, An Baoqing must transfer other capable people to reach an agreement with the Yishan County Government in the next few days. After all, this is only the first step of a long march, and there is still a lot of work to be done later.
"I'm going to the capital this time, so I can help you ask about the star rating..."
An Baoqing was stunned for a moment, and said, "Young Master Wen, the five-star rating must be recommended by the Provincial Tourism Bureau to the hotel rating agency of the National Tourism Bureau, and the hotel must have been in business for more than one year to be eligible to apply. We... haven't even started the project yet..."
Wen Liang chuckled and said, "Brother Jiu, sometimes it doesn't matter if you take shortcuts. If you really follow the procedures one by one, wait for the project to be established, apply for approval, get the application license, and then start construction and decoration until the official opening, it will take at least half a year and at most a year. How can we waste so much time? Not to mention waiting for a year after the opening to apply for star rating. Are the big men of the National Tourism Administration easy to serve? Eating and drinking are trivial matters. If you can't cope with it, you will be deliberately blocked when checking the rating, and you have to come back again in a year... Two years, who knows what the world will be like by then?"
Minister An Bao was embarrassed and said, "I understand, but the capital is a place with high mountains and deep waters. If you don't have a way to get to the top, no matter how much money you invest, you will only hear the sound. It's really useless."
"This is my concern, so don't worry about it."
Wen Liang said calmly, "I have asked someone to get the recommendation from the Provincial Tourism Bureau. You stay up all night tonight and ask Dingsheng to prepare all the necessary documents and give them to me tomorrow."
An Baoqing had long lost his curiosity about Wen Liang's complex and vast network of contacts. Not to mention that he had connections in Beijing, even if he had relatives abroad, it would not shock him in the slightest. He quickly agreed and was about to go out to give instructions when Wen Liang stopped him again: "Brother Jiu, I have always forgotten to ask, Ye Zhiwei holds the title of general manager of Dingsheng, but under whose name is the legal person registered?"
An Baoqing stopped, slowly loosened his hand on the door handle, turned around and met Wen Liang's eyes. The young man's eyes were cold and deep. His heart trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, the legal representative's name is Sang Li, and his family is clean. There won't be any trouble."
"Oh," Wen Liang said without comment. He walked up to An Baoqing and said with a smile, "This is your business after all. It's fine as long as you trust it. I'll leave first. Remember to give me the things tomorrow morning."
Looking at Wen Liang's back, An Baoqing fell into deep thought. He didn't know why Wen Liang suddenly asked about this matter, nor did he know whether Wen Liang was aware of his relationship with Sang Li. Maybe it was just a casual question, but considering Wen Liang's character of never doing anything without a purpose, he couldn't help but think more about it.
Wen Liang came out of the Great World, turned his head to look at the magnificent building behind him, called Liu Tianlai, and said, "Director Liu, help me check this person, Sang Li, the legal representative of Dingsheng Industry... Yes, check it secretly, don't let the news leak out..."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang took a taxi to school. With Zuo Yuxi's greeting, he easily got a leave note from Zhang Yihan, and then went to the office to find Ye Yuting. Ye Yuting and Huang Mei were the only two people in the office. They huddled together to discuss the lesson plan for the last month before the end of the semester. Seeing Wen Liang coming in, Ye Yuting frowned and said, "Where were you this morning? Yesterday I praised you in class for being on time for four consecutive days, and today you let me slap myself in the face, huh?"
Wen Liang complained, "Teacher Huang, please judge for yourself. How could Teacher Ye be praising me? It was even more cruel than when my mom scolded the stray dog in the yard. What did she mean by 'see if you can break the record of perfect attendance five days a week'? The laughter in the class almost deafened me..."
Huang Mei laughed out loud when she heard this, but the two of them had always been at odds with each other. After she finished laughing, she didn't forget to joke, "Classmate Wen Liang, this shows that you are popular and get along well with your classmates. Otherwise, even if you ask them to laugh, they won't bother to laugh at you."
Wen Liang was not afraid of Huang Mei, a little girl. Just as he was about to reply, Ye Yuting glared at him, picked up the lesson plan, patted Huang Mei on the head, and chuckled, "Okay, you are also a person who doesn't learn your lesson. You have suffered a few losses, but you still come to provoke him... Go to class quickly, and stop talking nonsense here."
Huang Mei agreed, took out a big bubble gum from her pocket, put it in her mouth and chewed it as she walked out. Wen Liang couldn't help but asked, "Teacher Huang, is it not good to eat snacks during class?"
"You know what? Blowing bubbles often can improve your lung capacity. Not only will you speak English more fluently, but you can also speak with a London accent."
Huang Mei even blew a big bubble with pride, but to be honest, her skills were really amazing, the bubble was almost as big as her head. This made Uncle Wen, who had never successfully blown bubbles in his previous life, very envious and jealous. His face suddenly changed, he stood up straight, and respectfully called out: "Hello, Director Hua!"
Huang Mei had her back to the door, thinking that Hua Xique had really come. She took a deep breath, and the bubbles popped, covering her entire face. Ye Yuting chuckled and said, "Look, I told you not to mess with him, but you didn't listen."
Huang Mei turned around and saw that Hua Xi Que was nowhere to be found. Sticky bubbles were stuck to her face. She wanted to die immediately. She ran to the bathroom while threatening Wen Liang: "Just wait, you little rascal! I'll wash my face and teach you a lesson!"
Wen Liang said mischievously: "Teacher Huang, wash slowly and make sure to wash it thoroughly, otherwise you will get acne."
Ye Yuting rolled her eyes at him and said, "Still making trouble? Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Wen Liang handed over the note and said, "I'm asking for ten days off. The principal has approved it. I'm here to prepare a case for you, Teacher Ye."
Ye Yuting took the note and remained silent. After a while, she sighed and said, "Since the principal has approved it, it doesn't matter whether I agree or not. You can go now."
Wen Liang knew very well that Ye Yuting was actually doing it for his own good, which was why she tried time and again to keep him in school. But the problem was that his life was not just about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy.
Wen Liang pulled a stool and sat opposite her, leaning on the table, staring into the pair of eyes that looked so much like Zuo Yuxi. It seemed that for a moment, the person in front of him overlapped with the beautiful woman who had enjoyed his love, as if they were indistinguishable from each other, and seemed to be one and the same.
"Teacher Ye, in fact, learning is nothing more than understanding the principles of being a human being, learning how to do things, establishing noble morals, and developing good habits. Look at me, I am a very smart person, I do things perfectly, my morals are comparable to those of a master, and I have no bad habits. Don't you think it's a waste of talent for such a nearly perfect person to stay in the classroom all day long?"
When he said the first few words, Ye Yuting was still listening carefully. She was not surprised that Wen Liang had such insight, but the bragging afterwards made her very angry. She said angrily: "I think your principles, methods, morals and habits are not very good, but your level of smooth talk is the best!"
Wen Liang laughed out loud. It was the greatest happiness for a student to tease a dignified and beautiful female teacher in such a solemn place as school.
"It's only ten days. I'll be back soon. Don't miss me too much... Ouch..."
Dodging the lesson plan that was thrown at him, Wen Liang fled back to the classroom, greeted Ji Su and others, and told them about asking for leave. Although Ji Su was depressed, he still smiled and told Wen Liang to be careful along the way. Ren Yi was not so easy to talk to. He shouted that Wen Liang abandoned his friends and escaped, which was a great rebellion. If he didn't treat him to a meal in the evening, he would curse him to wet his shoes every day.
Because the curse was too powerful, Wen Liang had no choice but to agree to treat everyone to a meal before leaving. After school, Liu Zhihe, who had heard the news, also joined the team. Wen Liang also called Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning, and everyone rushed to Yuxiangyuan for a big meal.
During the meal, Xu Yao asked about Wen Liang's itinerary. When she heard that he was going to the capital, she immediately picked up a pen and paper and wrote down several famous scenic spots, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, and the Xiangshan Maple Forest, which Wen Liang was strictly prohibited from setting foot in.
Liu Zhihe asked in confusion: "Why can't I go?"
Xu Yao said with a smile: "I heard that these places are haunted and they specifically catch children, especially... fat kids like you..."
She suddenly made a face, which scared Liu Zhihe so much that he almost jumped up. The little godfather lost face but couldn't get angry, so he could only sulk while biting his chopsticks, which made him much cuter than his usual sinister and cunning appearance.
Wen Liang agreed to all of them. He knew that this was the romance that belonged only to the little girl Xu Yao. He hoped that one day in the future, she would accompany him to explore these beautiful or legendary places together.
After the song ended, while Wen Liang was paying the bill, Ning Xiaoning suddenly came over and said coldly, "You are not allowed to watch the flag-raising ceremony!"
Wen Liang laughed softly and said, "Coach, you are being unreasonable! As far as I know, you grew up in Beijing, so don't say you have never seen the national flag raising ceremony."
Ning Xiaoning curled her lips in disdain, with a bit of Xu Yao's charm, and said, "Is this the first day you know that girls are unreasonable?"
Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I knew it a long time ago, but I never thought of you as an ordinary girl before. Well, it's really boring to watch a few people marching in such a cold weather, so I won't go."
After walking two steps away, Ning Xiaoning suddenly turned back and said shyly: "I... I am just an ordinary girl..."
After saying that, he actually lowered his head and ran away, leaving Wen Liang dumbfounded. What happened? Is this secondary puberty? (To be continued.
