"Director Yao, long time no see!"
It was Yao Shang who came. Today was a big day for Wujiang County. As the director of the county party committee office, it was reasonable for her to be seen here. Wen Liang looked at the graceful, elegant and dignified Yao Shang, but he thought of Wei Yan whom he had met last night and his hand on the waist of that pretty girl.
Everyone has his own destiny. Life is life. You can’t ask for it, nor can you get rid of it. Enjoy the good things and endure the bad things. When you experience all five flavors, that’s real life!
Yao Shang held up her skirt and trotted a few steps. When she stopped in front of Wen Liang, she could see a slight blush on her face. She said, "Boss Wen, when did you arrive in Wujiang? Why didn't you call?"
It seems that Wei Yan did not tell Yao Shang about the encounter last night. As for the reason, every man would understand. Wen Liang did not like to gossip about others, nor did he intend to destroy the stability of other people's marriages. He smiled and said, "I came here yesterday. I knew that Director Yao was busy, so I didn't dare to bother you."
Feeling the politeness in Wen Liang's words, Yao Shang felt a slight pain in her heart for some reason. Her face suddenly darkened, and she laughed at herself, saying, "I am not a noble person in that sense. President Wen, please don't comfort me. With Secretary Fu and Presidents An and Ye here, it's actually not my turn to do the reception..."
Wen Liang had always been very experienced in dealing with such awkward situations. He laughed and said, "Director Yao has really been trained. Now he has learned to speak eloquently. I remember that you were not so ruthless in your words before."
When Yao Shang saw his gaze, as if it had substance, inadvertently pass across her lips, she suddenly felt a burning sensation from her face to her heart. The shyness of being a wife and the instinct of being a woman mixed together, and her heart was beating violently.
"How can I..."
Yao Shang immediately shut up after saying half a sentence. The tone of her voice at that moment was like a lover's flirting, which was very inappropriate at this moment. Wen Liang pretended not to hear and pointed at the crowd, saying, "Who invited the director? He has a good grasp of the overall situation, the scene is beautiful, the transition is smooth, and the creativity is novel. He is thoughtful."
Yao Shang stabbed her palm hard with her nails, and the confusion of the moment of chance encounter was suppressed. She took a deep breath and returned to normal. She said, "The director is Teng Jinglin, a top student who graduated from Hujiang Film Academy. Although he is not well-known in China, he has several music videos and musicals, and his future is promising."
"Teng Jinglin," Wen Liang silently memorized the name. Xu Yao poked her head out from the crowd, waved at him vigorously, and said, "Director Yao, you do your thing, I'll go around... By the way, the top ten famous teas are announced today. Will Biluochun be delayed? I heard that Longjing seems to have a lot of supporters..."
"There shouldn't be any problem. Although there are strict procedures for the selection, the host will always have some advantages," Yao Shang said with a smile in her beautiful eyes, "Unless you, Mr. Wen, change sides at the last minute and personally choose Longjing as the winner, Pineapple Spring should be a sure bet for the top spot among the top ten famous teas!"
Yao Shang was right. Wen Liang drank Longjing tea all the time during his one month in Beijing. He laughed and said, "Director Yao, you are flattering me. How can I influence the outcome of such a big event? I am just a spectator who comes to watch a good show."
After saying goodbye to Yao Shang and walking to Xu Yao's side, she tiptoed to look at the young woman with fluttering skirts beside the tea tree and frowned, "Who is she?"
"Ask for directions! Let's go, leave them alone, where are the coaches and the others?"
Xu Yao curled her lips and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Why is someone looking at you like that when asking for directions?"
But she was just saying it. Knowing that Wen Liang had many friends, she didn't take it to heart. She pulled his hand and pushed aside, saying, "Xiao Ning and the others are watching people pouring tea. Let's hurry up, or there will be nothing to watch later."
"What's so good about pouring tea? I can also pour..."
"Would you pour it from a teapot with a spout that's one or two meters long?"
"… "
Watching Wen Liang and a youthful girl disappear in the crowd, Yao Shang stood there for a while, then sighed softly and turned away.
The closing ceremony lasted for two hours, and the finale was the official announcement of the list of the top ten famous teas. Wen Liang certainly wasn't stupid enough to jump on the stage and shout "I support West Lake Longjing", so the recently popular Biluochun lived up to expectations and won the first place. Ye Zhiwei, on behalf of Biluochun, moved the first place of Longjing tea since 1959 to his own buttocks.
This was a premeditated counterattack. Half a year ago, who would have thought that Biluochun, which almost couldn't even keep its trademark, would make a comeback and not only rebuild the industrial chain but also bring down the big boss
When the leaders of the China Association for Science and Technology, the Tea Society, and the cities and counties lined up on the stage and applauded to celebrate the successful conclusion of the First National Tea Cup, Yao Shang, who was standing on the left side behind the stage, couldn't help but look for Wen Liang's figure. She knew that for this moment, the boy had been hiding behind the scenes, using his extraordinary vision and knowledge, coupled with cold political schemes and means, to carve out a thoroughfare among the thorns.
Compared to him, Wei Yan was like a baby who could only breastfeed and could do nothing except playing with women!
Yao Shang thought of the rumors she had heard recently about Wei Yan and the new female college student who was assigned to the county Communist Youth League, but her eyes were calm without a ripple.
Hate is because of love. When you don’t love, how can there be even a trace of hatred
After coming out of the closing ceremony venue, Wen Liang received a call from An Baoqing. They chatted casually for a few words. He asked An Baoqing to go and deal with the social matters on his own and not to call him. Then he took Xu Yao and others into the car and headed straight for Taihu Lake.
However, it happened to be the weekend, and there was a famous tea selection and a cultural tourism festival. There were a lot of tourists on the shores of Taihu Lake. The boathouse that Dushe had booked in advance actually gave the seat to other tourists on the grounds that they did not arrive at the agreed time. Dushe was almost angry. Wen Liang did not want to cause trouble at this time of year. In the final analysis, the full house of tourists showed that the plan to bundle Biluochun with cultural tourism was very successful. Moreover, they did forget the time and came a little late. Although the boss was not kind, he had to give up. But he did not expect that the business was so good today that even three boathouses were full, not to mention the Crystal Palace that had received Zhu Jiusi, which had a long queue at the dock.
There is nothing more painful than watching others eat while hungry. The girls didn't get a good rest for a whole day and night, and they didn't have breakfast this morning. They were so hungry that they didn't even have the energy to complain. Xu Yaoshuang leaned on Ning Xiaoning like a snorer, looking at the endless lake and the endless people. She felt that the hope of having this meal was slim, and said listlessly: "Why don't we just find a place to eat first, and come back here when we have a chance."
The venomous snake was terrified, lowered his head, and said, "It's all my fault for not doing my job well and not making arrangements in advance..."
Wen Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "None of your business, no one expected so many people to come today. But if you come to Taihu Lake and don't eat the boat banquet, how can you say you have been there when you go back? How about this, you wait a moment, I'll make a phone call!"
"Go, go, I'm really starving!"
Wen Liang walked aside, took out his cell phone and thought about it. Security Minister Ye Zhiwei and others must be accompanying the leaders for dinner at this time. It would be an exaggeration to call them. As for others such as Fu Minzhi, they didn't feel embarrassed, but Wen Liang himself felt embarrassed.
But the problem is that this matter is not big, but it is not small either. Without a little power, or a little power that can be used just right, this matter cannot be handled. After thinking about it, there is only one person who is suitable, so he called Yao Shang.
Wen Liang had a habit he developed while working, no matter if it was useful or not, he would always save everyone's contact information. This number was the same number Yao Shang used when she called him by the Taihu Lake last time. It was inconvenient to have a mobile phone number these days, and it had only been a few months, so he probably wouldn't change it.
After two rings, Yao Chang's surprised and slightly happy voice came from the receiver: "Boss Wen, why did you come to see me?"
Perhaps it was because of the coquettishness in her words, especially when thinking of her identity, that it aroused a certain inexplicable evil taste in men, Wen Liang smiled and said casually: "Is it okay to miss you?"
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly started breathing heavily, and stammered, "Boss Wen, you... you're kidding..."
Wen Liang didn't expect her to react so strongly. It seemed that he hadn't adapted to the professional habits of welcoming and seeing off guests in the position of the county party committee office. He said seriously, "I'm not kidding. I came to Taihu for dinner and couldn't find a seat. The first person I thought of was you, Director Yao."
Yao Chang's breathing evened out a bit, but she didn't know whether she was relieved or disappointed. She said, "I knew that you wouldn't come to my house for no reason, Mr. Wen! How about this? The Spring and Autumn, a few boats that can cruise the lake, has been booked by the county for reception. The Taihu had a minor problem during maintenance the day before yesterday and has stopped sailing. That leaves the Pearl. What do you think, Mr. Wen?"
"It's Mingzhu, so be it. You decide on the arrangements. I'm easily satisfied as long as I have a boat to ride on and food to eat." Wen Liang looked at the lake and frowned, "But I think the Mingzhu hasn't docked..."
Yao Chang's laughter was charming and attractive. She said, "It can't swim far. I'll call and ask the Pearl to pick you up. Wait a moment!"
Less than a minute after hanging up the phone, Yao Shang called again and said, "It's all arranged. The Pearl will dock in five minutes at most. Mr. Wen, just tell me my name."
Wen Liang thanked them and told them that there was a boat for a tour of the lake, which made the girls cheer. Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the Pearl was moored at the shore, and only Wen Liang and the other four were taken on board. Then, the Pearl once again broke through the lake surface and enjoyed the scenery of the Taihu Lake and the sky.
