The next day, Fan Bo did not give Liu Yuzhou any more chances. He led the team straight to Lingyang early in the morning, which made Liu Yuzhou very frustrated. He even complained to Yang Guangsheng in his heart. If he had not pretended to be reserved last night and lost the opportunity for further contact, he would have watched the cooked duck fly away.
In the eyes of Qingzhou officials, it was a matter of course for Bencao Ruolan to settle in Qingzhou. Fan Bo's native place was a great advantage, and Qingzhou itself was also a benchmark for reform in the entire province of Jiangdong, with an excellent investment environment. As long as all kinds of preferential treatment and support were given, there was no reason why this project could not be attracted.
Therefore, Liu Yuzhou believed that Fan Bo's indifference was mainly due to a bad move he made at the meeting, but this was not an irreconcilable contradiction and could be compensated for with some effort.
With this idea in mind, he began to actively prepare for the next round of meetings, determined to do everything he could to keep Fan Bo and his herbal medicine Ruolan firmly in Qingzhou.
Wen Liang got up a little later than Fan Bo, and changed into clothes that didn't look so young. After washing up, he went to Diyuan. Zuo Yuxi and Ye Yuting were both there. Due to the agreement reached before, Wen and Ye did not reveal any flaws, so Zuo Yuxi didn't know that so many things happened at home during her stay in Guanshan.
"Teacher Ye is also returning to Lingyang?"
"Well, I haven't seen my parents for a long time. Since you guys are driving away, I'll go back for a while!"
Hearing the friendly conversation between the two, Zuo Yuxi laughed and said, "Hey, Yuting, what's wrong? Shouldn't you have grabbed this kid's ears and said, "What's your business if I go back to my own home?"
Ye Yuting said angrily: "I am not that barbaric, don't accuse me!"
Wen Liang smiled and stood aside, not responding. Zuo Yuxi looked at the two of them and frowned, saying, "Something's wrong. Something's wrong with both of you!"
Smart women always make people worry!
Three hours later, the white Santana drove into the city of Lingyang. Wen Liang sat in the passenger seat, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and felt emotional: I still remember the last time I came to Lingyang, it was Zuo Yuxi and Zhou Yuanting who met. At that time, I could only wait in the hotel room and was not qualified to walk in front of Zuo Jing. But this time, as a guest invited by him, I had the status of sitting opposite him and communicating on an equal footing.
The world is full of wonders, hard to describe in words!
Zuo Jing's residence is a two-story building in the city center. The courtyard wall is covered with wisteria, and there are grape racks on both sides of the path. There are stone tables and stone benches under the racks, and an unfinished chess game on the table. It does not look like the residence of a high-ranking deputy provincial leader, but rather like a farmyard in the leisurely Nanshan Mountains.
Zuo Jing and his wife were waiting at the door of the living room, which was not only to welcome their daughter, but also to give Wen Liang enough face. Wen Liang took a quick look and saw that Zuo Jing was about fifty years old, with an upright figure and a dignified manner. There were slightly gray hairs on his temples, which did not show his old age, but added to his majesty. Zuo Jing's wife was Huo Jinghao, who came from a famous family. Her father was a diplomat of the former Republic, and her mother was a well-known musician. Her good family education and cultivation can be seen from her quiet and beautiful appearance. Now she teaches Chinese in the first grade of Lingyang No. 1 Middle School and is deeply loved by students. Zuo Yuxi and Ye Yuting left Wen Liang and walked over quickly at the same time, calling their parents one by one. The small courtyard was filled with laughter and warmth.
There is no greater joy in the world than that of family!
Wen Liang stood aside, smiling, looking at the two girls with pride and politeness, until Zuo Jing extended his hand and said, "Welcome, President Wen, to Lingyang!"
Wen Liang collected his thoughts, took a step forward, and with a very humble attitude, he gently shook hands with Zuo Jing and said, "Secretary Zuo, please call me Xiao Liang. Before I came here, my father asked me to say hello to the old leader on his behalf."
Zuo Jing called him "General Wen" and knew all his details. He intended to treat him as a peer, which was exactly the mistake Wen Liang wanted to avoid. So not only did he behave in a very correct manner, he also used Wen Huaiming as a shield.
What I mean is that my father is your old subordinate, and we are not outsiders. You are the elder, so please don't be polite.
Zuo Jing laughed heartily, not as sinister and deep as the rumors said. But Wen Liang would not be so foolish as to judge a person by his words or other external things. After all, when Zuo Jing was in such a position, few people could see through his heart.
"Huai Ming is too polite. His achievements this year are obvious to all. From the central government to the local governments, everyone has praised him. Even Secretary Yu has mentioned him many times and praised him as the only one in Jiangdong."
Zuo Jing said meaningfully: "Secretary Yu rarely praises people. This is a rare compliment."
Wen Liang said respectfully, "Even if my father has done something, it was only because Secretary Zuo has taught him for many years that he has benefited a lot. And then Secretary Xu has led him well. He was lucky to have achieved this. I don't deserve Secretary Yu's praise."
Zuo Jing's heart was moved, and Wen Liang's response was quite normal. Although it was not as sophisticated and mature as a teenager should be, it was still within the normal range compared to his previous amazing performance. But in these words, he put himself ahead of Xu Fuyan. Could it be that Wen Huaiming had some idea
When their eyes met, they saw the indifference and calmness in the depths of each other's eyes. All the humility, approachability, laughter and familiarity were just masks to cover up this indifference and calmness. Or maybe it cannot be called a mask, but an instinctive reaction that comes naturally when one reaches a certain level and faces different occasions and objects.
Then, Wen Liang saw Zuo Jing's interest in continuing the conversation, and Zuo Jing also saw Wen Liang's sincerity;
Then, Zuo Jing became more amiable, and Wen Liang became more polite, and the two people who met by chance actually had a very pleasant conversation and got along quite well.
Zuo Yuxi and Ye Yuting finally finished their whispers with Huo Jinghao. Ye Yuting turned around and shouted, "Dad, we can't let people talk outside. Let's go inside!"
Zuo Jing laughed again and said, "Yes, yes, come on, everyone, stop standing and come in and sit down!"
After entering the room, Zuo Yuxi introduced Wen Liang and Huo Jinghao to each other. Wen Liang called her aunt obediently and said with a smile: "Is your name from the line 'The zither and the harp are in the palace, and it is all peaceful' in the "Zheng Feng"? "
Huo Jinghao's eyes lit up and he asked, "Xiaoliang, do you also read the Book of Songs?"
Wen Liang said honestly, "I only remember a few of them, such as "A Gentle Lady" and "A Gentleman's Dream". I heard my classmates mention the two lines "Qinse Zai Yu" a few days ago, and then I suddenly remembered them. If you ask me about other things, I'm completely clueless!"
Huo Jing laughed and praised: "Good kid, if you know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know. Seeking truth from facts is good." (To be continued)
