"Qingzhang, aren't you pushing Li Yuanlang into the fire pit? I firmly disagree."

Gu Hongyan immediately shook his head like a rattle with a very determined attitude.

"Actually, when I heard Yuen Long had this idea at first, I was opposed to it just like you. But now that I think about it, instead of leaving the rest idle now, it's better to find something for him to do."

Shui Qingzhang analyzed, "Although Dai Ding County is not an ideal place, the more chaotic and worse it is, the easier it is to achieve results. Moreover, Yuen Long is a person who refuses to admit defeat. He has the courage to accept challenges. I believe in him."

Gu Hongyan lowered her head and said nothing. She was thinking and weighing it. After thinking for a while, she said: "I still don't think it's right. Daiding County is too chaotic. The county party committee secretary and the county magistrate were both burned to death. The fire itself is strange.

.Li Yuanlang is too impulsive and not good at tact. If he offends someone, he will be like those two people. Gu Yu is still so young, Ting Yue... No, this won't work!"

Shui Qingzhang hadn't thought about it this way, which was why he was struggling with it.

"Alas!" Shui Qingzhang sighed, got up and got out of bed to go to the study downstairs to think quietly.

As he walked on the front foot, Gu Hongyan, who was behind him, did not forget to remind him: "You have to think clearly about Li Yuanlang's matter. It concerns our daughter and little Guyu's life. Don't make any decisions without authorization."

Shui Qingzhang didn't answer. As he walked downstairs, he heard Gu Hongyan's nagging again: "You are not allowed to smoke in the study."

This wife is such a headache.

Shui Qingzhang shook his head and walked down the stairs with a hunched figure...

Li Yuanlang was really busy. It had been a week since Mu Qizhi called for inquiries, but there was still no response.

As for whether he should return to work, the Guangnan city government adopted delaying tactics, which made him extremely annoyed.

After dinner that day, Li Yuanlang walked out of the house to take a breath.

It is already winter, the wind is cold and dry.

He tied his collar tightly and walked aimlessly on the spacious streets of Yunyang City, admiring the neon lights and colorful night scenery.

Looking at the hurried figures of men and women on the street, I feel filled with emotion.

People are like this. When they are busy, they think about resting. When they are really free, they envy and yearn for a busy life.

Li Yuanlang wanted to drink and find someone to talk to.

If you were in Ganping or even Xiwu, there would be a lot of suitable candidates.

However, in Yunyang, there are very few people to find.

Zhou Yu is one, but the key point is that he is still very busy. The renovation of shantytowns in Ganping County is coming to an end, and new buildings are opening in Yunyang. It is estimated that he will not have time before the end of the year.

In fact, there are still a few college classmates in the provincial capital, but Li Yuanlang has little contact with them. He wonders if they are busy and have time to spend time with him, a down-and-out person.

Unknowingly, Li Yuanlang walked to the Zhuangyuan Building.

There are too many stories worth remembering here.

Thinking of Shao Laizi, Li Yuanlang simply stamped his feet and walked in with rapid strides.

It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and business at Zhuangyuan Building is still booming.

The hall was full of diners and lively.

Waiters shuttled back and forth, drinking and talking.

Li Yuanlang went straight up the stairs, knocked on the door and entered Shao Zizi's office.

Shao Zizi was drinking tea and watching a treasure appraisal program, and was very surprised by Li Yuanlang's sudden visit.

He was invited in very warmly, made tea and offered cigarettes.

Li Yuanlang was a person who was very kind to him. Without Li Yuanlang, it would be impossible to determine whose title the Number One Scholar Building belonged to.

Shang Xiaoyan was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, and his brother-in-law Shen Yanwei was not much better. He had to stay in the Provincial No. 1 Prison for several years, eating steamed buns and cabbage soup.

If Shao Qizi had given up the Zhuangyuan Building to Shen Yanwei, once something happened to him, the Zhuangyuan Building would have been confiscated and auctioned, and it would not be certain who would buy it at that time.

Shao Zizi never forgot this kindness, but Li Yuanlang was not greedy for money. He wanted to express his feelings and even offered Li Yuanlang half of the shares in Zhuangyuan Building, but Li Yuanlang refused.

He helped Shao Laizi completely out of conscience and without any selfish desires.

If you really take money or shares, the nature will change.

Li Yuanlang is neither rich nor poor, as long as he has enough money to spend. In terms of material life, he does not have many pursuits in life.

After chatting for a while, Shao Zizi was indeed a veteran, and he immediately understood Li Yuanlang's desire to drink. He made a phone call and asked for four side dishes to go with the wine, and then took out a small jar sealed with red cloth from the wine cabinet.

He patted it and said, "Brother Yuen Long, don't underestimate this jar of wine. Most people would be reluctant to take it out to drink."

Li Yuanlang asked curiously: "Brother Shao, does this wine have any special origins?"

"It's nothing special." Shao Zizi walked over with one foot high and the other low, opened the seal, poured it into Li Yuanlang's cup and said, "This wine is sorghum I chose myself. I participated in the cooking of the wine. There was no alcohol blending in the whole process. It was pure

Grain brewing. It’s a bit strong, but you won’t get drunk after drinking it, which will minimize the harm to your body. Drinking less can also promote body fluids and blood circulation.”

"Oh." Li Yuanlang nodded, picked up the wine glass and smelled it. It did have a different taste from bottled wine.

Shao Laizi picked up the wine glass and said, "First of all, I wish you a happy son."

"Thank you." The two of them clinked their glasses and drank at the same time.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Shao Laizi took out the longevity lock from his pocket like a magic trick, gently pushed it in front of Li Yuanlang, and said very sincerely: "I know your brother doesn't like money, but this thing is mine."

This is a gift for my little nephew, I hope you can accept it."

He also said that the longevity lock had been prepared a long time ago, and he was worried that Li Yuanlang would not accept it, so he kept hesitating. If they had not met tonight, he would not have been able to make this determination.

Li Yuanlang held it in his hand and looked at it. It was a silver longevity lock with several small red gemstones inlaid on it.

The appearance imitates the shape of a "lock", with "long life, wealth and longevity" engraved on the front, and a pattern of a unicorn delivering a child on the back.

This thing looked inconspicuous, but Li Yuanlang immediately thought of a fact and asked Shao Zizi: "Brother Shao, you have been watching treasure appraisal programs, tell me the truth, is this thing an old thing? It has been around for a long time."

"This..." Shao Laizi raised his chin and said thoughtfully: "It must be an old thing, but it's not very old. It's the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, about a hundred years old."

"Brother Shao, you didn't tell me the truth. I think it should be from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, more than three hundred years ago, right?"

Shao Laizi was stunned. Li Yuanlang was a political official and not an expert in treasure appraisal. How could he know so clearly?

"You know my character. It has been a cultural relic for three hundred years. I accept your wishes, but I can't accept this thing." Li Yuanlang pushed the longevity lock back to Shao Zizi's eyes intact.

"Alas!" Shao Laizi sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, brother, since you have found out, I won't force you. Come on, let me toast you again and wish you a promotion."

The second glass of wine was also drunk to the bottom of the glass.

Li Yuanlang wiped his mouth and said: "What's wrong with getting promoted? It's better to work happily in Xiwu County."

"Brother, don't blame me for talking. I know a little bit about your affairs. You are a good person and a good official. However, in the big dyeing vat, other cloths are colorful, but your white cloth seems out of place."

Li Yuanlang understood the meaning of Shao Laizi's words and said: "I have principles and bottom lines in doing things. I think whether you are a person or an official, you must always put the interests of the people first. When you are old, retire

Now, when I look back on what I have done over the years, I have no regrets or guilt. Even if I feel a little wronged, it is worth it."

"Brother, I really admire you for thinking this way, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Come on, just because of your words, that you can serve the common people regardless of personal gain or loss, we drank this glass of wine."

After drinking, Shao Zizi mentioned Lao Zhang.

He said: "A few days ago, my junior brother Zhang Musen called me and chatted, saying that he stopped driving and had switched to logistics for retirement care."

Li Yuanlang was very surprised. Ordinarily Zheng Zheng had a good relationship with him, so he wouldn't be tempted to transfer him in front of him and then touch his people in the back?

Shao Zizi waved his hand, "Mu Sen is really not new. Secretary Zheng doesn't need him. He proposed it himself. It turns out that he is comfortable driving for you, and there is always something between him and Secretary Zheng. He is not young anyway.

, it’s time to make way for young people.”

An emperor and a courtier, everyone has a different way of doing things.

Even though Zheng Zheng had no other ideas, it couldn't change Lao Zhang's approval.

He was used to Li Yuanlang, and he wouldn't be able to adapt to someone else. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, it would be better to take the initiative and everyone would be relaxed.

The two were drinking and talking when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
