The BMW was driving smoothly on the national highway. Zhu Zixuan was still enthusiastically discussing the fierce conflict in the mountains just now. Although she had seen too many scenes of pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face in the circle she lived in, but in such a short period of time, in such a small space, with knives and pistols, the intensity of the conflict was comparable to a blockbuster movie. It was both exciting and thrilling!
It was not until he had finished insulting the old man Buddha for the tenth time that Zhu Zixuan finally changed his interest. He looked back at the mountains in the distance reluctantly and said, "Oh, what a pity! I didn't get to eat the old abbot's vegetarian food. I don't know if it's as good as you praised!"
Wen Liang smiled as he drove, "Buddhism is a peaceful place, and everything depends on chance. It won't work this time. Next time there is a chance, I will invite Miss Zhu to taste the food."
Zhu Zixuan's eyes lit up and she said, "There will be a next time? I thought after today, you guys would talk about business and do serious work, and no longer play with me."
"Doing business is a serious matter, and accompanying Miss Zhu is also a serious matter," Wen Liang laughed loudly, "In my opinion, accompanying Miss Zhu is more important."
Although Zhu Zixuan didn't say it, she still valued Wen Liang in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed Lei Fang to Qingzhou. Did she really think that Miss Zhu had nothing to do all day? Hearing that Wen Liang also valued her so much, she nodded happily and said, "You are much better than Brother Lei. He would fool me with business all day long. You are not as considerate as him."
Lei Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly. Wen Liang glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said jokingly, "Looking at this situation, Brother Lei, if you don't work harder, I might get there first, right?"
Lei Fang smiled and said, "It would be great if it were true. I will definitely go to the temple to build a shrine for you, brother."
Zhu Zixuan glared and said angrily, "Okay, you two bad guys are bullying me together!"
Wen Liang and Lei Fang laughed at the same time, mixed with Zhu Zixuan's coquettish voice. In the small car, the distance between Lei Fang and Wen Liang seemed to be shortened a lot, with less guard and more sincerity.
Of course, the so-called sincerity only refers to sincerity in business cooperation. If you want to extend it to personal feelings, with the cunning and scheming of Wen Lei and others, there may not be hope in this life.
To do business, you need capital and vision; to make friends, you need mutual understanding and openness. The two cannot be confused.
At present, the two have made a clear distinction!
After a while, Zhu Zixuan, who had been having fun all day, fell into a deep sleep. Lei Fang suddenly patted the silent Viper sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "You are quite skilled. How long have you been with your President Wen?"
Viper looked at Wen Liang, who smiled and said, "Just answer whatever Master Lei asks you, and tell the truth."
The Viper then lowered his head and said respectfully, "I only come here to do odd jobs for Mr. Wen occasionally. I haven't had the good fortune to work for Mr. Wen yet."
"Is this true?" Lei Fang asked in surprise, "Brother Wen, this is your fault. If you don't promote such a talent, I might poach your people!"
"Brother Lei, you are wrong about me. Viper is someone else's capable general. Even if I want him, it's not easy for me to ask for him."
"Really not yours?"
"Really not!"
Lei Fang examined Wen Liang's face and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Since he is not yours, I have to poach him."
He turned to Viper and said, "How about it, do you want to develop in the capital?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lei, for your appreciation, but..."
"Don't rush to answer. I'll be staying in Qingzhou for a few more days. Come and find me when you've thought it through." Lei Fang handed over a business card and said with a smile, "This is my personal phone number. Not many people know it."
It has to be said that with Lei Fang's status, if he is willing to put in the effort to deal with a small figure like Viper, normally no one would be able to resist him.
Viper took his business card respectfully, put it in his arms, and once again became silent.
Wen Liang drove on his own and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, are you serious? Do you need someone with good skills around you? Don't drive with the Viper."
Lei Fang chuckled and said, "There are many people who are better than him, but I just like this guy's ruthlessness, it suits my taste!"
Wen Liang shook his head and laughed, but if you look closely at his eyes, you will find that there is not a trace of smile in the depths of his deep and bottomless pupils.
The fact that Lei Fang was willing to say this in front of him naturally meant that he had no ulterior motives and was open and honest. However, people's hearts are hidden, and who knows if Lei Fang was deliberately giving him this illusion
If so, what does he want from the Viper
This is true for many things in the world. The truth is always hidden behind falsehood. Only by penetrating through layers of fog and accurately grasping the essence can we remain invincible in various contests.
Want to poach someone? Then I'll give you a grenade!
There was no conversation along the way. It was already eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to Qingzhou. Wen Liang first sent Lei Fang and Zhu Zixuan to the hotel, and then sent Dushe to the hospital. After the necessary examinations, the results were quite good. There was no injury to the shoulder bones and muscles, and he would be fine after a few days of rest. The knee was a little more troublesome. The patella was fractured but not separated. No surgery was required, and he would only need a plaster cast for one or two months.
Viper called a few brothers to come and take care of him. Just as Wen Liang was about to leave, Viper suddenly said, "Master Wen, could you please tell Master Lei that I am doing well in Qingzhou and don't want to go to the capital."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "You can make your own decisions. However, people always want to move up, so it's not bad to go to the capital to see more of the world. Young Master Lei has a big family and a big business, so you have a bright future following him... If you are worried about Ninth Brother, I can help you speak up."
The Viper was silent for a moment, then said, "I am a rough man and don't understand any great principles, but since I have been following Young Master Wen and Brother Nine, I have never thought of following anyone else."
Wen Liang smiled, returned to the bed and sat down, and said, "Do you really think so?"
The venomous snake struggled to get up, but was forcibly held down by Wen Liang. His face flushed red, and his usual coldness turned into rare excitement. His deep voice was full of determination and decisiveness as he said, "If I tell a lie, I will die a miserable death!"
Wen Liang looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "What if I asked you to go with Lei Fang?"
The venomous snake looked up in surprise!
Ning Xi set up a lavish banquet at the Splendid Hotel to welcome Lei Fang. Wen Liang arrived late, so he drank three cups as punishment. During the banquet, he took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere, sometimes making witty remarks and sometimes making appropriate vegetarian dishes, which made Ning and Zhu laugh continuously. Even Lei Fang had to admit with jealousy that if Wen Liang went to the capital to be a wedding master of ceremonies, he could definitely abduct the bride on the spot.
After eating and drinking, the four of them headed for the big world. Having received Wen Liang's instructions beforehand, Baidu put extra effort into her performance this time, with scenes of fairies bathing, jade pots containing smoke, rain swelling the autumn pond, snow sinking into the river, and clear tea rolling up layers of green leaves. It was as if a returning guest was telling his long-awaited wife about his joys and sorrows along the way, with endless tenderness and affection, and endless lingering feelings.
This is why when pouring tea, only pour it 70% full, leaving 30% to express the emotion. Tea without emotion is only good for guzzling and cannot be called tasteful.
Zhu Zixuan had seen all kinds of tea art, but it was rare to see a tea master who could make tea art pleasing to the eye like Baidu. After tasting the clear green Biluochun tea, she exclaimed, "It's delicious! This is only the second brew. How come it's more fragrant than the third brew I usually drink?"
"It depends on the person. The taste of tea brewed by different people varies greatly. I don't know much about tea, so why not ask Baidu to explain it to everyone."
Duniang knelt down, picked up some tea leaves from the teapot with her delicate hands, and whispered, "Dear guests, please look, this is the first-grade Biluochun. Just this one, thousands of leaf buds with curled leaves like sparrow tongues are needed to fry it. The ancients said 'hidden green and white hairs are full of clothes', which refers to this."
Zhu Zixuan asked in confusion: "The shirt is covered with green and white hair? What does that mean?"
Baidu smiled softly and said, "It's just describing the shape of the tea leaves. In other words, it's 'copper wire strips, covered with hair'."
Everyone laughed. Zhu Zixuan almost pounded the table with laughter and said, "Good, good description. When it comes to vivid images, we modern people are slightly better. No, ten times better!"
Baidu gently put Biluochun into the water, and the tea immediately sank to the bottom. The tea leaves were covered with tiny drops of water, which slowly bloomed on the bottom of the water. She said, "This is 'Spring Dyeing the Seabed', a simple and practical way to identify the grade of the tea."
Zhu Zixuan fell in love with Baidu almost immediately. She took her hand and praised her, "You are a nice person, and your tea is also good. Sister, where did you learn it? Can you teach me?"
Ning Xi smiled and said teasingly, "Uncle Zhu also likes to drink tea. Do you want to learn from him and flatter the old man so that you can get less detention after getting into trouble?"
Wen Liang attacked mercilessly: "This depends on talent. You can't learn it just by wanting to. It's probably even harder to reach the level of Baidu!"
"You are so smart. I'll just learn it casually. Can't I just make tea by myself?" Zhu Zixuan rolled her eyes at him, pulled Baidu to sit on the other side, and chattered about the secret of making tea.
Wen Liang and Ning Xi looked at each other and smiled, then turned to Lei Fang and said, "Brother Lei, please come this way. I have something to discuss with you."
The two of them got up and went to the suite inside. Zhu Zixuan held up her chin and listened attentively to Baidu's story about the beautiful legend of Biluochun tea. Only Ning Xi sat alone on the sofa, leisurely sipping the third cup of tea.
After a while, they started talking about something, and there was a faint sound of sobbing. Zhu Zixuan pulled her over angrily. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Liang and Lei Fang also came out of the suite.
"What's going on?"
Wen Liang asked knowingly, and Zhu Zixuan angrily said, "Do you know that Sister Du was bullied by bad guys?"
"Oh, you mean that?" Wen Liang said with a wry smile, "What can I do? They are too powerful and I can't afford to offend them."
"You!" Zhu Zixuan stomped her feet in frustration and said, "If you don't dare to manage it, I will!"
Lei Fang had just reached a consensus with Wen Liang. As for whether to offend Wei Qiwen or not, it was not worth mentioning to him. He was not doing business, nor was he involved in officialdom. He was just a playboy who relied on his family to eat and wait for death. If I offended you, I would offend you. What can I do to you
You know, Wei Qiwen was a high-ranking official when he was in office, but once he retired, he was nothing. But what about the Lei family? They have been up and down for decades, but they still stand firm. How can Wei Qiwen be compared to them

After a charge, Maru looked helplessly at the five hips in the distance that were still blocking him, gritted his teeth, and silently untied his belt, with tears in his eyes, saying: "We are still five short of chrysanthemums, can't we explode?"
