Jiang Hongshao lived in the same room as her mother. She went to see her grandfather as soon as she got up in the morning, and then they had dinner in the restaurant. After dinner, Jiang Hongshao found an excuse to go back to the room, picked up the phone and dialed the number, but it rang for a long time and could not be connected.
Cheng Ran has already set off for Mount Emei. Cheng Feiyang had a meeting early in the morning. Xu Lan and Xie Feibai's mother had an appointment to go house-viewing and left early, so although the phone at home kept ringing, no one answered it.
After hanging up the phone in the guest room, Jiang Hongshao took out her cell phone again, but there was no signal. There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Hongshao went to open the door. Lu Wei was standing outside and said, "Would you like to go for a walk together?"
Jiang Hongshao thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he passed Lu Wei and walked out.
Lu Wei looked at her from behind, with some surprise in his eyes. In fact, he had noticed something unusual about Jiang Hongshao since last night. It seemed that she was not as surprised as he expected. This girl seemed to be worried. When he came to find her at this time, he could see that she was not in a good mood. After thinking for a while, Lu Wei followed her.
Jiang Hongshao went straight to the front desk and said to the hotel manager, "Aunt Li, there is a boy named Cheng Ran, who is a friend I invited. If he comes to see me, please bring him to Building No. 3 and notify me directly."
The hotel manager is the housekeeper in charge of this building, and should be a high-ranking position in the hotel. Yesterday, she introduced herself to Jiang's mother and her, indicating that she could be contacted for any needs. At this time, the manager named Sister Li saw that she seemed a little anxious, and nodded immediately.
Jiang Hongshao was relieved then. She turned around and saw Lu Wei at the other end of the empty lobby. He was looking at her from afar with his hands in his trouser pockets. He tilted his head towards the walkway outside and then walked out first.
…
In a private room facing the lake and the villas scattered halfway up the mountain, Liu Gao and his wife Zhao Yue were sitting face to face on the sofa. Through the spotless floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see from afar the figures of Jiang Hongshao and Lu Wei walking side by side on the wooden walkway suspended beside the lake.
Farther up the trail, several clerks stood far away at the entrance.
White clouds and mist are lingering above the lake.
Such a perfect couple seems to be integrated into the beautiful painting.
This is a separate private room with strict sound insulation. Nothing you say here can be overheard by outsiders. In the room, Liu Gao retracted his gaze and said, "The State Guesthouse has many doors and windows. Except for the open Building No. 5 and the more luxurious Building No. 8, the other buildings are almost all closed. Chiang Kai-shek lived in Building No. 4, which is now a historical site museum. You can go in and visit the American-style building, but the furnishings inside, such as the wardrobe, Song Meiling's dressing table, and the telephone that issued the encirclement and suppression order to the Red Army... In fact, they are all fakes. Even the building was demolished and rebuilt. Most of the other items are restored according to the imagination of later people. Just imagine that Chiang Kai-shek lived here in the past, but he went through all those things before and after, and it was later designated as a dormitory for the Forestry Bureau. How could he leave those things? Deng Gong came to live in Building No. 2, so Building No. 2 is also called "Xiaoping Building", Commander Zhu De lived in "Building No. 3", Building No. 3 is called "Marshal Building". In addition, the facilities in each building are also complete, but no matter whether it is a local official or a political figure, even if it is the No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee, they will only stay in Building No. 8 when they come. No one goes to Xiaoping Building or Marshal Building. Even if they have great political ambitions, they will probably only enjoy it in their hearts. If they really do so, they will not pay attention to the impact. As for Building No. 1, I am afraid it will only be possible for them to move in when the central officials come to visit officially. It is because of the old man that we can live in this Marshal Building with peace of mind."
Zhao Yue looked towards Building No. 8. Jiang's mother had already come out of the building. She must have finished talking with Jiang Hongshao's grandfather and was preparing to leave. She went out of the internal passage and arrived at the front lobby, where she met some people and shook hands with each other.
Zhao Yue said, "Building No. 8 is very lively, and many people have come. If the old man knew about this, would he blame you?"
Liu Gao shook his head. "How dare I reveal the whereabouts of the old man? The old man didn't keep it a secret when he came here. The family knew about it, and the old man knew it too. There are always people who want to take advantage of it, thinking that even if they leave an impression, they will benefit a lot... But in fact, there shouldn't be many such people. They all know who the old man is. If they want to take this approach, they will probably return empty-handed... I think most of them actually came for Lu Wei."
Zhao Yue said, "I heard that there are people from the secretariat and the hall in Building No. 8. I'm afraid the old man is here. The people behind the scenes can't come forward, so they can only find someone to act as a matchmaker... Do they all want to get in touch with the Lu family?"
Zhao Yue looked at the figure of a man and a woman in the distance again.
Liu Gao saw every move of his wife. He said slowly, "Speaking of the Lu family... 'General Manager Lu' is really a top talent. He is now the youngest general manager of a central enterprise at the ministerial level. He is known as the 'Southeast Dragon'. His outstanding achievements are in promoting the Southeast Petrochemical Industry Project. He insists on the integration of refining and chemical industry, and the intensive development of industrial parks. He guides the implementation of many leading projects and plays a leading role in the overall construction of related industries in the Southeast. He is a rising star. Otherwise, how can we say a wealthy family? 'General Manager Lu' is enough to lead the Lu family. The family will go more and more smoothly. The future is unimaginable. It is said that the old man actually had high hopes for him and wanted to take him in as a son-in-law, but unfortunately, he was wrong."
Liu Gao said with regret, "Let's not talk about the rising General Manager Lu. His son Lu Wei also has a promising future. He was outstanding in his youth. There were many children who were neighbors in Jingshan before, but I didn't see which children could catch the old man's eye. Lu Wei was always the one who caught the eye. Every time he came, the old man would pull him to play chess with him, go fishing together, and even take him to Beidaihe for recuperation and swimming. The old man rarely invited other children to eat at home, but Lu Wei was always a guest of honor at the Jiang family's table. Let alone me, even the descendants of the old man's younger brother did not have this honor.
The descendants of the Lu family are really good. Lu Wei entered Tsinghua University and later went to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, he returned to China as a special talent and joined the government. Now he is the deputy county magistrate of Nanyang County. If it were someone else, there would be few people in China who could hold such a position at this age. In terms of future achievements, Lu Wei will only be higher than his father. "
Zhao Yue was dazzled by what Liu Gao said. For them, although they were on the edge of the Jiang family and had a wealthy fortune, when it came to a "rich family" like the Lu family, they could only envy and look up to them.
Liu Gao stretched out his finger joints and tapped the table lightly, leaning forward. His wife Zhao Yue involuntarily moved closer to him, listening to his deep voice, "The old man came to Sichuan for recuperation, and even his own daughter was only notified to meet and chat, but he designated Lu Wei who was attending a meeting in Chengdu to accompany him. Doesn't this show his preference for him? I'm afraid he doesn't treat his own son this well... Isn't it at this juncture that he artificially created an opportunity for him to get along with Hong Shao?"
Zhao Yue thought for a moment and said, "But I don't think Hongshao has such an idea. You said that Hongshao used to have a place of respect for such an older brother in her heart, but why can't I see it this time?"
"As a little girl, it's inevitable that she will be a little reserved, and she may not have thought about it yet..." Liu Gao shook his head and smiled, "But the result is inevitable, and it also meets the expectations of the two families."
Liu Gao sighed and said deeply, "In fact, if you analyze it, you will know that this step is what the Jiang family must take. The layout of the second and third generations of the Jiang family today has not been able to hold up at all. They are not as strong as the Lu family. In terms of courage and pattern, General Manager Lu has shown extremely admirable qualifications. In the future, it is very likely that all parties will work together and win over a large number of people. If people's hearts are in favor, then the prestige will be so great that no one in our Jiang family can match it. My cousin is taking the academic route, and he may only make academic contributions in the end. My cousin is capable and is a heroine, but the problem is that she is a woman. The word "heroine" sounds good, but it also represents a ceiling and defects. My cousin's husband is capable and his political achievements are stable, but he lacks explosive power. He may achieve something in the future, but he will not be a leader of our Jiang family or even the people who depend on the Jiang family..."
After a pause, Liu Gao said, "The old man's health is not good after all..."
