super rich

After the banquet, it was past seven o'clock. Chen Mingyuan and Liu Yuli were arranged to stay in the Provincial Recruitment Hotel by the West Lake. As for the secretary and driver, they went to the provincial office in the county.

After washing up in the room and resting for a while, Chen Mingyuan was about to go out for a walk, but Liu Yuli knocked on the door first.

"I haven't slept yet, Secretary Chen."

Liu Yuli turned sideways, raised his finger and pointed to the gazebo outside, and said, "I just made a pot of tea, and it's cool outside, so I wanted to find someone to play chess with, I wonder if you have the leisure time?" It seemed to be worried Chen Mingyuan refused, and added: "By the way, let's talk a few words. These days, I've actually been looking for a chance to have a good talk with you."

Chen Mingyuan thought about it, and it was not too late anyway, so he agreed with a smile.

On this summer night, it was very quiet. The stars all over the sky were like a silver sand table, scattered messily everywhere, and the light came and went. Everything seemed peaceful and leisurely.

The two sat on both sides of the stone table in the gazebo, sipping tea, concentrating on playing chess, chatting a few words from time to time, the harmonious atmosphere in it was probably the first time since the two met.

In the middle of the chess game, seeing that the white piece was about to swallow the dragon and take it back to the palace, who knew that the black piece suddenly practiced a line, made a wonderful move, and killed the white piece in a blink of an eye.

Liu Yuli twirled the white piece, stared at the chess game for a long time, and finally put the piece back into the bowl slowly, saying: "I lost!" Then he looked at Chen Mingyuan, and said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, you are so young, But the vision is far-sighted, the layout is meticulous, and the gains and losses of every corner and place are not contested. After a few tens of rounds, you have already controlled the overall situation without knowing it, and it is impossible to make people dissatisfied!"

Chen Mingyuan smiled modestly: "Actually, strictly speaking, I'm still a layman. It's just that I have played a lot with people in the past few years and gained some experience."

Liu Yuli became more interested, and asked, "You must be a top-notch master who can train you, a layman, so well in such a short period of time?"

Chen Mingyuan shook his head and said: "She is also a layman, but her insight and grasp of the overall situation are top-notch. For her, playing chess is nothing more than a pastime."

Liu Yuli said softly, and tentatively said: "Ms. Mu?" Seeing him nodding, he pondered and said: "Although I have only met him once, Miss Mu's intelligence and talent are impeccable, even more rare. What's more, her insight into the ways of the world is even worse than me..."

Chen Mingyuan's eyes gradually softened, and he whispered: "Yes, she always looks so perfect."

Liu Yuli glanced at him, then suddenly smiled jokingly, and said, "What? We've only been separated for a while, and you miss him?"

Without waiting for Chen Mingyuan to answer, he leaned back on the rattan chair, poured some tea into the porcelain cup, and said with a smile: "This is all human nature, there is nothing to be ashamed of, let's not talk about your youth, you should be as gluey as paint At that time, I was lucky enough to have such a beautiful, intelligent and considerate partner, if it were me, I would also wish to stay together forever and live together!"

Chen Mingyuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect Secretary Liu to be a man of temperament."

"Did you always think that I was that kind of stubborn old man?" Speaking of the past, Liu Yuli felt a little emotional, and said: "I was young too, and there were times when I was young and frivolous, and my infatuation never changed. To tell you the truth, I In my whole life, I went to the countryside as an educated youth and worked as a fitter in a factory. It is only at your age that I embarked on the road of politics. I remember that when I was elected to the political research office by the prefectural committee, I didn’t fall asleep all night. , over and over again, it is to serve the people wholeheartedly.”

Saying that, Liu Yuli sighed softly, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and when he raised his head again, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Old man, the old man likes nostalgia, and is always not used to looking forward." After a pause, he said again: "Do you know where my name comes from?"

Chen Mingyuan said without hesitation: "Yu Li is called civilized! Duke Wen Cheng's great talent is rare in the world!"

Liu Yuli's originally lazy eyes immediately ejaculated, and said with a smile: "There are not many young people who can say such words nowadays, Secretary Chen is not an ordinary person!"

Chen Mingyuan smiled, "I have no other hobbies, but I like reading history books, especially Ming history!"

Wen Chenggong is the famous founding hero Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty in history. Before he followed Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen once called himself "Yu Ion" and wrote a book called "Yu Ion". The principle of tranquilizing the people and governing the world.

Thinking of Liu Yuli's name and Liu Bowen's hometown, Chen Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Liu Yuli laughed and said: "That's right, the hometown of Duke Wen Cheng is the area of ​​Ruining. According to the genealogy records, I am a descendant of his old man. My father gave me the book "Yu Ion" because he especially likes it." With this name, I hope I can be a useful official to the country."

Chen Mingyuan nodded, but didn't answer.

There is a widely circulated saying in China that "Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the country; Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the former dynasty, and Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the later dynasty". However, after several ups and downs and a long career, even if he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, he would still be punished and killed by the suspicious and suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang!

Liu Yuli admires Liu Bowen so much, it is estimated that he also has some thoughts of "sympathizing with each other". Presumably, when he was young, he also had great ambition and talent, intending to make a difference in the political arena, but unfortunately things backfired, wasting most of his life, but he could only bow down as a frontier boy. The magistrate of the county.

Nine out of ten talented and ambitious people will be arrogant and arrogant, which roughly explains the reason for Liu Yuli's strength.

"Unfortunately, many times, things often go against our wishes. On this road, I can't help myself much, and gradually become numb." Liu Yuli played with his blue and white porcelain teacup, and there seemed to be a trace of embarrassment and loneliness in his eyes: " Our governance ideas are different, I know this, but seek common ground while reserving differences, Ruining’s development momentum is very good now, the team should unite as one, stability and unity can develop, this is the truth.”

Chen Mingyuan didn't say anything, Liu Yuli sighed for a while, although some true feelings were revealed, but it was nothing more than paving the way for the speech now.To be more precise, Secretary Du's group is likely to have a head-to-head contest with Liang Qiru's group in the future. Naturally, they hope to get more support in Wenhai, and to achieve this goal, they must first convince themselves, who are in high demand!

"The current Ruining, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping." Liu Yuli stood up, patted Chen Mingyuan's shoulder, his expression was indescribably complicated, he hesitated, and sighed: "The future of Ruining It is bright, but there is still a long way to go, and many of them must be steered by young people like you who are both talented and virtuous, so that they can drive more steadily and smoothly."

Chen Mingyuan heard a hint of regret, and faintly felt that this was like a commission before parting, and there were mixed feelings for a while...

…………

In the end, seeing Liu Yuli Xiao Suo's back, Chen Mingyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he simply left the hotel while it was still early, and walked around to get some air.

Walking along the familiar streets for a while, he came to the Xixi Campus of Dongjiang University, his former alma mater.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Mingyuan strolled in. To his surprise, the campus at the moment was surprisingly lively. Groups of young men and women could be seen everywhere. From time to time, some people would stop to take pictures and stop a student. After inquiring about it, I learned that it was the time of graduation, and many people wanted to celebrate and leave a souvenir for the last time.

Listening to the laughter and watching the farewell and sorrow, Chen Mingyuan was in a trance for a moment, silently looking at the building in front of him, which was the venue of the stargazing club, but he seemed to see a scene that he had gradually forgotten a long time ago.

"Actually, I was in the stargazing club at that time, basically not doing any serious business. You were observing the stars, and I pretended to count the stars... Well, I can see them clearly, but the number is a little small. Let me count them... ..."

"99 pieces."

"Counting that fast?"

"It means forever."

In my memory, that beautiful and gentle girl always had a smile on her face, extremely gorgeous.She would sometimes look up at the sky in the quiet night, while counting the stars clumsily, while talking about trivial things to herself, as if she was watching and looking forward to it.

Three years later, at the place where the two met and got acquainted at the beginning, things are already different...

He was in a daze for a while, until the ring rang, he suppressed his thoughts, took out his mobile phone to connect, and heard Ye Qingxue's cold voice: "Did you go back to Qiantang? Where are you now?"

Chen Mingyuan heard that her tone seemed a little hurried, so he reported the address in a heartbeat, planning to ask Ye Qingxue about Mu Jiayin in person.

"Okay! You go to the school gate and wait, I'll be there right away!" Ye Qingxue's tone was dignified, and she quickly said, "There are some things that I have to tell you face to face!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingyuan had a vague premonition, knowing that something might happen to Mu Jiayin, so he hurriedly walked along the tree-lined path to the school gate.

After walking a few steps, the sky was suddenly covered with fireworks, and the dark night sky was suddenly reflected like daytime. Fire trees and silver flowers, bright red and purple, lively and colorful, everyone's attention was attracted, and occasionally came out of the crowd. There were bursts of passionate shouts and applause.

Looking at the fireworks all over the sky, Chen Mingyuan suddenly stopped and paused. When his eyes drifted forward randomly, he was suddenly stunned.

The colorful fireworks reflected the face of a woman in front of her red, just like the girl deep in her memory, that gentle smile that can only be seen when looking at the night sky, that natural quiet and graceful temperament, and that deep The beautiful image engraved deep in my heart...

At the same moment, the woman also seemed to be aware of it, and gradually turned around, her bright eyes flowed, and her hair was clear. When her four eyes met, the same astonishment appeared on that delicate and exquisite face, which seemed a little difficult. Believe it, there seemed to be some surprises and surprises, but the affection was real. Slowly, she finally showed a long-lost and familiar smile.

It is said that first love is as bright as summer flowers.
