super rich

The voice fell, and the living room fell into silence.

Mu Jiayin and Qi Rongying frowned with complicated expressions.

Qu Lao drank his tea and remained silent for a while.

Chen Mingyuan hesitated, and then said: "Last year when I accompanied Secretary Ning to investigate, I passed through Lishan City. Secretary Ning asked me to find his old leader. Unfortunately, when I found him, the old man had already died in the earth. Secretary Ning After hearing the news, I felt very heavy, saying that he felt ashamed, and in his lifetime, he only wanted to do more facts to make up for the debt in his heart..."

Qu Lao's eyelids twitched slightly, then he raised his head, sighed a long time, and murmured: "It's been so long, it's time to let go."

After a while, Elder Qu's face returned to calm, he looked at Chen Mingyuan and said with a smile: "Ning Lizhong has had mixed reputations throughout his life, but choosing you as his secretary may be the best thing he has done. As he said, he will be a good minister of the country!"

Chen Mingyuan made up his mind, and replied: "This is all my own humble opinion, just don't blame me."

"Your grandfather has been angry with me for most of my life, and now you have jumped out again. My temper is almost wiped out by you two." Old Qu laughed dumbly: "But I can see a talented person like you for the rest of my life." , It’s also a beautiful thing, looking at the younger generation, you are considered the best, much better than your third uncle who only knows how to behave.”

Obviously, when Chen Guoliang was in the ministry, Elder Qu also observed it, and he seemed dissatisfied, which also reflected his high opinion of Chen Mingyuan. Jiayin, this is the first time I've seen him give such a high evaluation to a young man!

"Let me just say, Elder Qu has a very broad mind, so he won't be able to tolerate objections."

Mu Jiayin flattered without losing the opportunity, bringing an end to the ups and downs of the debate.

"Don't say it too early if you are obedient. Next time you will bury me like this again, I will directly ask the guards at the mountain pass to list you as a non-correspondent!"

Elder Qu waved his hand, drooping his eyelids and said, "I'm old, I'm very tired after talking so much all at once, so I won't let you guys eat here anymore."

Chen Mingyuan also knew that Yuquan Mountain was not a place where he could stay longer, and now that he had achieved his goal, he got up and said goodbye to Mu Jiayin.

"Rongying, send someone away." Elder Qu stood up with the support of the nurse, walked a few steps, turned around and said with a smile: "Young man, when this incident is over, you can come here next time you come to Yanjing." Sit down and have a cup of tea."

Qi Rongying was very surprised. On weekdays, how many high-ranking officials and dignitaries wanted to see Mr. Qu but couldn't get it. Even those people from all over the world had to say hello in advance when they came to visit, but they had never seen Mr. Qu take the initiative. It is unbelievable to invite a young man with a weak crown!

Chen Mingyuan remained calm, nodded and said, "Of course, please take care of Mr. Qu."

Qu Lao smiled, turned his head and went to the inner bedroom.

Afterwards, Qi Rongying sent the person to the foot of Yuquan Mountain by the same route, and before parting, he handed Chen Mingyuan a note with a phone number on it, saying: "The next time you come to Yuquan Mountain for business, please call me in advance, and I will answer you." You go up."

To be treated differently by Elder Qu, and to have a close personal relationship with Mu Jiayin, is enough to prove that this son is definitely not someone in the pool, and Qi Rongying will reciprocate the idea of ​​friendship both in public and in private.

Chen Mingyuan took the note and put it away carefully, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble General Qi, this time it came suddenly, I didn't bring you a gift, I will make it up next time."

Qi Rongying waved her hands again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Don't, let the chief know, and shoot me!"

Mu Jiayin pursed her lips into a smile, and said crisply: "General Qi's ambition is to command thousands of troops, and I don't want to be crushed by sugar-coated shells before my ambition is unfulfilled."

After finishing speaking, several people burst into laughter.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Qi Rongying rubbed her chin and muttered: "It's weird, it's the first time I've seen Miss Mu be so caring about an outsider, she's still a young guy, it's possible..."

Thinking about it, I also think it is unlikely, let alone how high-minded Miss Mu's family is, and in terms of age and seniority, the two are not a good match, but how can such things as feelings be accurate?

General Qi gossiped from an emotional point of view, and found that his head, which is used to thinking about military strategy, was really not suitable for thinking about these deep-seated love between men and women, so he stopped his reverie and turned back.

On the way back, the sun shone brightly, the snow gradually melted, and the breeze became much warmer.

Chen Mingyuan put his mind to rest, and said with a smile, "I really have to trouble you today."

"Hey! You still know how to say thank you, I'm really not used to it."

Mu Jiayin deliberately put on an exaggerated and surprised tone, then smiled sweetly, and said cheerfully: "It's not too early to say thank you, I never like to be disadvantaged when I do things. Settle the bill."

Young Master Chen joked: "You are a proud daughter of heaven who has been loved by thousands of people. If you want wind and rain, I don't seem to have anything to repay you except for my body."

"You promise with your body? Then I've really done a huge loss-making business!" Mu Jiayin glared at him angrily, and then smiled freely: "If you really don't come out, I owe you first, so that you feel You always owe me something, and you will remember to treat me better in the future."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the last sentence seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, and her face flushed faintly, so she stopped immediately and continued to drive with all her heart.

In an instant, Chen Mingyuan happened to see the shyness in her coquettish demeanor, and couldn't help but startled, but sensing the strange atmosphere, he quickly restrained his distracting thoughts, turned his head and looked out the window, With a concealed smile in his mouth, he said: "By the way, He Tianshi has also come to Yanjing, and he gave a moral lecture in Xiaohe Mansion yesterday. Have you seen it?"

The confusion in Mu Jiayin's eyes only lasted a few seconds. This woman who is extremely good at controlling her emotions quickly regained her rational and calm appearance, and said slowly: "I see, I heard that Wen Jin Hua also wants to use him to embarrass you in public."

Chen Mingyuan nodded and said with a smile: "But in the end, that celestial master seemed a little guilty, and flinched before the battle."

After a pause, he continued: "I heard that Wen Jinhua invited him here mainly to satisfy Mr. Jia's interest in Taoism, and healed his chronic illness along the way."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Mu Jiayin's eyes, and she sneered, "This Mr. Jia has been advocating the Marxist-Leninist Thought for most of his life, and he is not afraid of losing his trust when he is old and obsessed with God."

Chen Mingyuan felt that she seemed to know something about this matter, and tentatively said: "Based on what you know about He Tianshi, his medical skills can really diagnose and cure Mr. Jia's illness?"

"What do you think?" Mu Jiayin said with a smile that was not a smile: "It's good that that guy didn't let people drink the talisman paper gray water. Do you really think he has the ability to use magic bullets? It's just like Mr. Jia who is about to die. People, in order to survive for a while longer, are foolish enough to believe the truth, in my opinion, there is some psychological effect."

"People, no matter how prominent and wise they are when they are alive, they are actually afraid of death. The heroes of Qin Shihuang's generation, just to live a few more years, were deceived by the magic stick Xu Fu, and spent countless manpower and financial resources to pursue those people. Immortality, which is out of reach, will end up making people laugh forever!"

Chen Mingyuan's heart moved, and he said in surprise, "You mean he..."

Mu Jiayin glanced at the warm winter sun outside the car window, and said leisurely: "In this world, there is an omen of impending death, called backlight!"

Chen Mingyuan couldn't help being dumbfounded.

…………

A few days after this, some anecdotes circulated again in Yanjing. In response to the recent reform controversy in a southeast coastal province, a long-retired veteran figure came forward to quell all the disputes, but most people can only be in the fog Looking at flowers, I don't know exactly how, at least no one has mentioned this matter anymore, as if the article in Huaxia Daily had never been published.

But in Dongjiang Province, thousands of miles away, sharp-eyed cadres still occasionally discuss a few words. It is said that Ji Mingtang, Wen Haichen and others planned to use this incident to frustrate Secretary Xia Ning, but for some reason, almost In a matter of days, the tune changes.Some people said that Ji Mingtang was severely criticized by the head of the central government, while others said that it was the call from the central government that warned Ji Mingtang not to destroy the unity of the team for his own selfish desires. .

The only thing that is certain is that the influence of Ji Mingtang and Wen Haichen in Dongjiang Province has been greatly weakened, almost dropped to the lowest point in history, and many neutral factions who have been watching the wind have gradually turned to Secretary Ning.

As for the leather industry, which was the most turbulent before, it immediately died down and did not dare to make any more dissatisfaction.

In the Beijing Office, Director Xu changed his previous perfunctory attitude, and from time to time would ask Chen Mingyuan for his warmth, and even the "embarrassing" vehicle problem before was resolved immediately!

"Secretary Ning's matter is a major matter for our Dongjiang Province, so we can't delay it. I have already ordered the team to prepare a trolley and wait for Secretary Chen's orders at any time. The drivers are also old drivers of our Beijing office. , I am familiar with the roads in the capital, and my legs and feet are diligent." Director Xu first made a firm assurance, then deliberately lowered his posture, and said with a flattering smile: "The affairs were a bit busy before, and it was inevitable that there were some places where the hospitality was not good. Please forgive me, Secretary Chen. Don't take it to heart."

Chen Mingyuan just smiled, and turned a blind eye to Director Xu's intentional selling. Naturally, he didn't take what happened before. To put it bluntly, he didn't take such a clown in his eyes at all.

After a few perfunctory words, he took a special car to pick up Ning Lizhong.

After meeting, Ning Lizhong glanced at him, didn't say anything, just patted his shoulder lightly and showed a smile.
