In a large courtyard in Old Street, Jiangdong District, Daning City, a table was set up in the courtyard, two people sat facing each other and played chess, and three or five people watched.Except for a gentle young man wearing glasses who was sitting opposite, everyone else was a bit older, and the youngest was in his forties.

This kind of recreational activity of playing chess was more common in the past, but now it is gradually decreasing.Gein can entertain more and more things, except for middle-aged and elderly people with a certain age and experience, who can bear their temper, but young people are very fond of this kind of pure "mental entertainment".They prefer breakdancing, disco and other exciting activities.

And the young man who played chess, wearing glasses, looked very intelligent and was also highly educated.

In fact, this person is Zhou Fan.

Sitting and playing chess with him is the uncle in the yard. [

Zhou Fan was smart, studious, modest and courteous since he was a child, and he was loved by the elders in the courtyard. Later, he was admitted to university, and then admitted to study abroad at public expense. celebrities.As long as Zhou Fan in Zhoujia Lane is mentioned, everyone who hears it will give a thumbs up and say "yes"!

In the early 90s, working in wealthy coastal cities such as Nanfang City and Jiangkou City would be admired by others, and they would be considered to have entered the Jinshan Yinshan. Like Zhou Fan, who studied in the United States, what's the deal?

I heard that washing dishes in the United States can earn tens of thousands a month.Of course, it is the RMB currency, not the US dollar!

That's already pretty amazing.

This time, Zhou Fan accompanied his mentor, Johnson, and his party back to Daning City for an investment investigation. Something was wrong. Johnson and the others returned to the United States, but Zhou Fan did not accompany him back, and stayed at home for a while.He is about to graduate from his study abroad career, so he took this opportunity to spend more time with his parents and family and save money on round-trip air tickets.

Liu Jun came to visit at this time.Zhoujia Alley is narrow, and cars can drive in, but they cannot turn around.Liu Jun asked Wang Ya to park the car outside the alley, took Pan Zhiren with him, and walked into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard someone calling "Zhou Fan" by the chessboard.

"Zhou Fan, it's your turn!"

Ha ha, it seems that this trip came quite coincidentally.

Liu Jun and Pan Zhiren walked over and watched the battle from the sidelines.

Seeing that this game has just started not long ago, the two sides are still in the layout stage, if you encounter a sophisticated chess style, you can play a game of chess for two hours.Pan Zhiren planned to inform Zhou Fan, but Liu Jun stopped him with a wink, folded his hands on his chest, and watched the chess leisurely.

Liu Jun studied engineering in his previous life. He is good at logic and has good chess skills.After becoming the leader of the county party committee, time was tight, and I hadn't played chess for a long time.Playing chess in this clean place is also a kind of enjoyment.

Zhou Fan raised his head and glanced at Liu Jun and Pan Zhiren. Seeing that the two were unfamiliar, he smiled and nodded.

Liu Jun smiled and nodded in return.

It should be said that Zhou Fan and the old man who played chess with him are not superior in chess, and they may not be slightly better than Secretary Yan, Governor Liu.In the eyes of magistrate liu, it's really not good.

However, Liu Jun strictly abides by the creed of "a true gentleman who watches chess without speaking", and just watches chess silently without speaking.

Seeing Zhou Fan aggressively advancing, the opponent was in a hurry, and the defeat was over. At the critical moment, Zhou Fan was greedy for his opponent, gave up his ultimate move, and entangled for another ten minutes before forcing the palace again.

Liu Jun smiled and shook his head.

The old man was not annoyed when he lost chess, and said with a smile: "As expected, he is a great intellectual studying in the United States. He is getting better and better at chess... Hehe, I am old and I can't beat you. Who of you is interested?" Another fight with Fan Yazi?" [

Several people watching the chess shook their heads repeatedly and said: "Li Bo has lost, let's not make a fool of ourselves!"

"Young man, I see that you are also a good chess player, why don't you play a game?"

Li Bo suddenly looked at Liu Jun and said.

Liu Jun smiled and said, "Okay, I just learned from Mr. Zhou Fan."

Zhou Fan glanced at Liu Jun again, and said in a little surprise, "What's the name of this gentleman? Do you know me?"

Liu Jun smiled and said, "My surname is Liu. Mr. Zhou Fan is a celebrity in Zhoujiaxiang, and there are quite a few people who know you."

At the moment when Li Bo gave up his seat, Liu Jun said "offended" and sat opposite Zhou Fan.Pan Zhiren naturally stood beside Liu Jun, and put Liu Jun's thermos in a place where he could easily hold it.

Zhou Fan was a meticulous observer. Seeing this natural little movement, his eyes narrowed, guessing that the young man in front of him might have some background.Pan Zhiren has a calm demeanor, and is just a secretary or something.

Liber's side is Hongzi.

Zhou Fan politely said: "Mr. Liu, you are a guest, please come first!"

Liu Jun was not too polite, and he hung up the cannon first, which is called "big column hand" in the jargon.This opening method is regarded as an impolite behavior in chess, and it is a way to kill chess.To step out of the "big row of hands", if it is not because of self-confidence that the chess is better than the opponent.Gein must be tough when dealing with the "Big Column" artillery round, not even a little bit softer.

Zhou Fan's chess skills are not very high, so he was surprised when he saw this "big row hand" game.

"Mr. Liu has such a tough chess style!"

Liu Jun smiled slightly and remained silent.

Zhou Fan responded with a screen horse, with a proud look on his face.At least at this time, he didn't think Liu Jun's chess skills would be very high, he was probably a novice.

Liu Jun moved very quickly, and hardly thought about it, but after a few moves, Zhou Fan's proud expression disappeared completely, and he supported left and right, tired of coping.In less than half an hour, Liu Jun advanced with horses and guns, forming a lore.The whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. Zhou Fan was always responding passively, without any power to fight back.

"Mr. Liu is brilliant, amazing!"

Convinced, Zhou Fan cupped his fists and gave Liu Jun a bow.

"Yiqi is just a path, and there are traces, which makes Mr. Zhou laugh. I am Liu Jun, and I am here to visit Mr. Zhou Fan today."

Liu Jun no longer hid it, showing his identity.

Zhou Fan was taken aback.During this period of time, through Toshihiko Yamada's exclusive interview, Zhou Fan also learned that Liu Jun, the magistrate of Ningbei County, was a young yamen, but he didn't expect to be so young.After a game of chess, Zhou Fan also felt Liu Jun's sharp vitality.

"Ah, it turned out to be the county magistrate Liu. I dare not be the one to visit the house in person." [

Zhou Fanke said politely.

This time it was the turn of several middle-aged people and old people who were watching chess around to be surprised.

Why, this young man turned out to be the county magistrate?

Are you right?

However, Zhou Fan called the county magistrate Liu, so he couldn't be wrong.

"County Liu, please come to the humble house for tea."

Zhou Fan got up to extend the guest.

Although Zhou Fan didn't like to see such an "arrogant and domineering" dandy like Liu Jun, but he was a guest from afar, and he came to visit politely, how could he put on airs and refuse the door?

"The weather is nice, how about just chatting here? It's nothing important, I just want to talk to Mr. Zhou."

Liu Jun refused to move.

"Alright, Mayor Liu, please wait a moment, I'll go get some melon seeds and peanuts..."

Zhou Fan pondered for a while, then agreed to Liu Jun's proposal, but he never forgot the rules of entertaining guests.

"Sit down, sit down, I'll get melon seeds!"

Li Bo said repeatedly, feeling in his heart that Zhou Fan was really promising, even the county magistrate came to visit him in person.Although the county magistrate is too young.

"Yes, yes, you sit down..."

The people in the other courtyards also echoed, and went to their homes automatically, took out some snacks such as melon seeds and candies, and set them up on a table.

"Major Liu, are you here for my article?"

Zhou Fan took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Liu Jun took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "Yes, and no."

Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows and said flatly, "What do you mean by Magistrate Liu's words?"

Liu Jun pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhou Fan, you and I are about the same age. You may be a few years older. You basically belong to the same era. There should be no generation gap in thinking and communication..."

"County Liu has something to say, please speak up."

Zhou Fan remained calm.

"Mr. Zhou has devoted himself to the construction of his hometown. I admire this. You wrote that article with a good intention, but the truth may not be as simple as what Mr. Zhou knows."

Liu Jun considered his words and said slowly.

Zhou Fan was taken aback, and said, "Then what is the truth?"

Liu Jun smiled and told about the situation at Furong Hotel that night. Zhou Fan frowned as he listened, his expression was very displeased.

"It turned out to be like this, this Toshihiko Yamada is too outrageous!"

Although he has not yet verified it, Liu Jun's tone is sincere and does not seem to be fake. Zhou Fan believed Liu Jun's words unconsciously.Besides, he was just a powerful foreign student, so there was absolutely no need for Liu Jun to make a special trip to explain to him.It is expected that with Liu Jun's backing and his own status, writing such an article by himself may not bring him much trouble.

"Don't talk about him, he's just a clown..."

Liu Jun waved his hand.

"I came today to inquire about Mr. Zhou Fan's future development intentions. After graduation, should he continue to develop in the United States, or return to China to develop?"

Zhou Fan just smiled, and asked back: "Is Magistrate Liu trying to poach the wall?"

Liu Jun smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou has not graduated yet, and he has not served anyone. I can't call it poaching, right? At most, I am sending a kind invitation to Mr. Zhou. Our Ningbei County has a relatively poor foundation. Private enterprises Both private enterprises and private enterprises have just started, and I very much hope that there will be a group of professionals in economic management to advise them on their management."

Zhou Fan showed a look of admiration on his face, and said solemnly: "Major Liu, I can't answer you for the time being. However, if entrepreneurs in your county need some latest information or advice on business management, I am very willing." Do your best. How about this, I will tell you my address and contact information in the United States, and if you need it, you can contact me at any time!"
