Chapter 54
Li Chuiwen was so anxious to come back because Ma Tao called him yesterday and said that the second in command was free and that they could have a meal together if they had time. Naturally, he had to take it seriously.
After returning to Nanzhou, I first met up with Ma Tao, and then we took a bus together to the SW compound and came to Building 3 inside. After getting on the elevator, we found a very ordinary three-bedroom apartment. The door was opened by a middle-aged woman wearing an apron.
"The pony is here! Come here and bring any gifts! Please come in!"
Ma Tao put the things away skillfully: "It's not an expensive gift, just some tea and specialties from the countryside. Don't we all pay attention to pollution-free these days? As we get older, we have to pay special attention to our health!"
Mrs. Li smiled and invited them into the house, and Ma Tao introduced Li Chuiwen by the way: "This is my descendant, and his surname is also Li. Maybe your ancestors are still the same family!"
Mrs. Li looked Li Chuiwen up and down, and said with a smile: "This young and handsome boy is full of energy. If there is a girl in my family, she must like a boy like this!"
"Hello, Mrs. Li!" Li Chuiwen greeted, "Bringing some small gifts is disrespectful!"
Mrs. Li has a cheerful personality and loves to laugh: "Hahaha, you are so polite, I will have to reciprocate the favor later!"
"No need to bother, no need to bother!" Li Chuiwen was polite.
But Mrs. Li said: "What trouble is it? If you bring it, it won't be troublesome? If you don't want it, I won't welcome you next time!"
Li Chuiwen smiled and changed his words: "Then I am respectful and it is better to obey your orders!"
Everyone came to the living room and sat down. Mrs. Li said to them: "Old Li is still in the study making a call. Wait a minute. I will get you a glass of water or tea?"
"It's convenient for you," Li Chuiwen said.
"I want to drink tea." Ma Tao said.
The closeness between the lines can be felt. Ma Tao sat down and touched the tea leaves under the coffee table to make his own. Mrs. Li smiled when she saw this: "Then I'll go to the kitchen first!"
Soon after, the study door opened.
A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, suit trousers, and a classic cadre look came out. He had a Chinese character face and slightly gray hair on his temples. He laughed a few times when he saw the guest.
"I kept you waiting for a long time!"
Ma Tao stood up and smiled: "How dare you? Others can't even come to Lao Li's house to have dinner even if they invite grandpa or grandma. I'm here, and I won't leave until I'm full!"
"You guy!"
Li Guowei stepped forward and patted his arm, then looked at Li Chuiwen and Zhao Hui.
Ma Tao introduced him: "This is the Xiao Li I'm talking about. At a young age, he wants to beat our waves in the Yangtze River. This is his assistant."
Li Guowei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Xiao Li looks young, but his team of business staff has already made a sound plan. Heroes come from young!"
"Thank you, leader!" Li Chuiwen smiled and held his hand, "Mr. Zhao Hui Zhao is a good friend I met in Yanjing. He was also a famous Rinpoche in Chaoyang Circle. He was erudite and talented, and to a certain extent, he was my teacher.
.”
Li Guowei was a little interested: "Oh? Mr. Zhao is a master?"
Zhao Hui smiled politely and said: "Some small tricks to make a living cannot be put on the table, but they can solve people's problems and provide guidance on life's mazes, which can be regarded as accumulating some karma for themselves!"
"It's not simple! I have only heard of the guru in Chaoyang Circle but not seen him. It seems that the saying is good, those who have gained the Tao will be helped, and talented people are surrounded by talented people!"
Li Guowei is also a well-informed person, and he can point out Rinpoche's origins in Yanjing at once.
But Zhao Hui did not steal the spotlight from the rightful owner. He said: "I agree with the leader. When I meet Mr. Li, I will meet Bole in a thousand miles. With his appreciation and platform, I finally have the opportunity to shine!"
Li Guowei sat down with a smile and glanced around everyone,
"This is private time. It's not here to give a work report. You just think, hey, I won't give it either! So please feel free to do it. Don't be restrained. Let's talk about what's needed!"
A leader is a leader, and he has a good grasp of the social atmosphere. Li Guowei took the lead and joked a few words, making the atmosphere relaxed and happy.
Ma Tao and Li Guowei were old acquaintances, and there were not many topics to reminisce about the past. The main point was to introduce Li Chuiwen, and deliberately changed the direction of the topic, and talked about finance and economics.
After all, it is really difficult for Li Chuiwen to talk about the middle-aged humanistic hobby of fishing for health, but when it comes to the fields he is good at, he can talk endlessly!
Li Chuiwen did his homework before coming here and knew that Li Guowei was more pragmatic and did not like fake and empty content, so he talked about the general economic pattern in a down-to-earth manner, and then extended it to Nanzhou's industrial development.
Every item was discussed and thought through by the team. Li Guowei nodded frequently and appreciatively commented: "Those who succeed will not make opportunistic decisions."
"Uncle Li is very complimentary!" Li Chuiwen smiled.
"The food is ready, don't just sit and chat!"
Mrs. Li came out and said.
Everyone got up one after another to help serve food or get bowls.
Very ordinary home-cooked dishes, less greasy, health-conscious, and the topics at the dinner table are more relevant to life. Mrs. Li likes to talk about local customs or collecting hobbies.
Zhao Hui observed what was happening and followed his advice: "I saw that Mrs. Li had Gawu and turquoise bracelets at her house. She must be a bit confident in this, right?"
Mrs. Li was interested when she said this: "I can't believe it. After all, following this guy like Lao Li, engaging in these ghosts, ghosts and snake gods is backward and superstitious and will be criticized. But sometimes you can't believe it, just like the people in Fujian."
Fisherman, I heard about a private loan case: the defendant refused to admit that he owed the plaintiff money, but the judge decided the case by making the defendant swear to Mazu. As a result, the person did not dare to lie! Do you think it is useful? "
Zhao Hui nodded: "Sometimes faith is a kind of spiritual sustenance, and it does not mean superstition and ignorance. There is a big difference between the two. The former is an act of spiritual self-enrichment, which may not be impossible."
Mrs. Li agreed very much: "Yes, I agree with what this gentleman said."
"He is Master Rinpoche. If you want to talk, you can talk more." Li Guowei added.
"Oh?" Mrs. Li's eyes brightened.
"I once practiced in Bianzang for a period of time, worshiped the master, and received initiations, so I have a basic understanding of it."
Zhao Hui said modestly.
But this topic was too much for Mrs. Li's taste. The two of them talked about it for almost the rest of the dinner table, exchanging confusions in this area and listening to the master's opinions.
When Li Chuiwen saw this, he knew that it would save trouble. It was actually a good idea to take the wife's route. After all, no matter how strong the city wall was, it often couldn't withstand the breeze of the person next to him.
As a friend of women, Zhao Hui relied on his extensive knowledge to easily win Mrs. Li's trust, and also promised: "Next time I go to Sichuan and Tibet, I will personally buy a pair of dzi beads for Mr. and Mrs. Li."
Come back and give it to you two!"
"This is impossible!"
Li Guowei hurriedly spoke, but Mrs. Li hesitated.
Zhao Hui smiled: "Don't worry, leader, it's not a valuable item. It's just a few stones in the eyes of unbelievers, but the important thing is the meaning contained in it!"
When Li Guowei heard this, and under the threat of his wife's eyes, he nodded: "Don't fix anything too expensive. You can set a price later. I have to clearly mark the price."
"I understand, I understand!" Zhao Hui smiled and nodded, "It's just that I'm not sure about the time. If I have the conditions, I will ask for it as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Li stood aside and said politely: "Don't make a special trip if you're not in a hurry. I'm just hoping for luck!"
Zhao Hui said: "Mrs. Li has a very good attitude. Buddha has said that the more you are attached to many things, the more troublesome they become, but once you let them go, they will become smoother!"
"The master is right!" Mrs. Li clasped her hands together.
Only Li Chuiwen knew very well in his heart that he had to go to Sichuan and Tibet to get some ghosts that he could not find. He knew very well about these dzi beads, and Lao Zhao had a lot of them in his box!
Zhao Hui may even have it on his body, but he won't take it out because he wants to give Li Chuiwen a reason to come over next time, and also wants Mrs. Li to feel that it was hard-won and welcome him!
Li Chuiwen looked at Zhao Hui with eyes that expressed understanding and admiration.
