Tang Lin was stopped when he drove his Jimny into the city hall gate. The city government security guards were very responsible, as they always were, so Tang Lin lowered the window and threw a pack of cigarettes over.
"Here, this is not a bribe, haha." He joked with the guard on duty. Of course the guard knew him and immediately packed up the cigarettes happily. This was a special item that ordinary people couldn't smoke. Then he immediately let him go knowing full well.
, naturally knew that he was here to pick up the female mayor.
Tang Lin had a good relationship with the guards when he was still working in the city government. Maybe he just returned to the city at that time because he subconsciously wanted to be with soldiers or policemen. He is a grassroots person, and it is very easy to get in touch with the grassroots.
Just like in the short time he arrived at the city bureau, he became quite familiar with the policeman on duty at the door.
In China, sometimes it is very important to have a good relationship with the security guard at the door, and it can play a key role at critical moments.
Tang Lin parked the red Jimny in an out-of-the-way corner. It was raining and there was no one outside. In fact, this time was past the normal off-duty time. Tang Lin parked the car and sent a WeChat message, and the female mayor immediately returned
It would take about 30 minutes, so I asked him whether he should wait up there or down below. Tang Lin naturally responded that he would wait here.
Then he opened the car window slightly for ventilation, and then sat in the driver's seat in a daze. After about ten minutes, he couldn't help but dial Peng Guoxing's number.
When Peng Guoxing received his call, it was obvious that he was being dragged into playing chess by the old man again. "Old General, wait a minute. Tang Lin is calling. There must be something urgent. I'll answer the call and go out for some fresh air. I'll be back in a minute!"
The old man's background voice was of course cursing, "Don't even think about running away. If you win, there's no way you can escape. After you answer the phone, come back to me immediately and continue fighting!"
Tang Lin's head hurt, and he was worried about Peng Guoxing, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Teacher, you didn't let the old man win a game in the past two days, right? Fortunately, the old man has a healthy cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, otherwise he would definitely have a cerebral hemorrhage!"
Peng Guoxing spoke in a relaxed voice, "This is called playing hard to get. Dr. Xu said that he needs to think more and be more impulsive to keep his mind trained. If you don't talk about this, you should call him for business."
Tang Lin nodded, "Well, actually I just got a piece of news by accident that Senior Sister Zhilan is coming to Zhongzhou in the next two days. Teacher, do you know?"
Peng Guoxing was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "Zhilan is coming to Zhongzhou? No... I don't know, maybe... Xiaoping, Xiaoning and the others are in contact, and you also know that she will not take the initiative to contact me..." Speaking of this, Peng Guoxing was a little depressed, Zhilan
It was a worry of his. Although he successfully brought her over to Tanglin in Longdaihe last time, which was considered half a success, she still did not return to the master's sect and was still the same as before. Peng Guoxing was worried about her all the time.
He really didn't know, and he was very surprised when he heard the news. Tang Lin's mind gradually cleared up, "Well, that's why I called the teacher specifically to ask if it's okay. I will arrange this matter. If possible, I
I will bring her to the compound, not to deliberately restore the relationship, but because I always feel that Senior Sister Zhilan has always placed you in an important position in her heart."
Peng Guoxing sighed lightly, "Okay, you can handle it as you see fit. If Zhilan really comes, you are considered the master, so you have to entertain her. As for whether she is willing to see me, just don't force her to let nature take its course."
Then Peng Guoxing hung up the phone. Tang Lin didn't hesitate and directly dialed Zhilan's mobile phone number. He had always had this mobile number but thought he would rarely use it. He didn't expect to be able to dial it so quickly. Tang Lin had always had it.
There is a wonderful feeling that there is always some kind of connection between him and this senior sister. Anyway, they will have a follow-up story. It is not a story about a man and a woman, but a story about a teacher and his disciple.
The phone rang 7 times and was answered. Zhilan's voice was still so quiet, "It's Tang Lin." She only said this, but Tang Lin couldn't help but want to laugh, "It's me, senior sister, no matter when you
They are all so cool." Zhilan was talking about another topic, "That news that the third child of the Lu family told you?"
Tang Lin was stunned, "Yes, but how do senior sisters know that I know him?" Zhilan immediately denied, "I don't know, but he is the only one who knows that I am going to Zhongzhou." Tang Lin immediately asked, "Could it be
Is it really because of Lu Laosan that Senior Sister came here this time?"
Zhilan neither denied nor admitted, "It doesn't matter if it's related. I'll go back to Longdaihe in about two or three days." Tang Lin nodded, "I see, but the teacher happens to be in Zhongzhou too. I think senior sister should check on the teacher. He
I'm always worried about you."
If someone else said this, Zhilan would definitely hang up the phone, but Tang Lin said that she didn't hang up, but even though she didn't hang up, there was still silence for four to five minutes. Her silence was as expected by Tang Lin, so he also
Silence, he is best at listening and silence. Finally, Zhilan slowly said, "Tang Lin, I don't like to be arranged by others, and I made it very clear last time. I have special things to do this time, and I'm afraid there is nothing extra.
time."
But Tang Lin had Tang Lin's method, "Senior sister, let's put it this way, Zhongzhou is my home court. When you come, I will treat you to a cup of tea no matter what. It doesn't matter whether you see the teacher or not. I can neither
I won’t embarrass you if I force you. It’s just that I really don’t want to see the talents of our teachers wither away like this. I think the mentality of senior sister has always been detached. Some things should have been seen clearly earlier. In her heart, senior sister actually respects the teacher more than anyone else, right?
?”
Zhilan immediately hung up the phone. She didn't want to hear anyone say this. She did see some things clearly, but there was still a long way to go between seeing clearly and actually doing it. There was always a huge difference between thoughts and behaviors, so Tang Lin didn't call again.
, and did not even ask her about the specific date of arrival. Just ask Lu Laosan. In fact, Tang Lin felt strange at the beginning. If Zhilan hadn't deliberately let Lu Laosan know the news, Lu Laosan would not have told her no matter how he asked her.
She also said it didn't matter if it was related, but what was going on? Alas, his senior sister is always so mysterious.
But he didn't expect that Zhilan would call again. When he saw it, he didn't answer it immediately. For a moment, he thought in his mind, was this call a more severe rejection or even a change of schedule? Or did he have something to say? Take a deep breath and answer it.
Talking on the phone, "Senior sister, I'm here." His voice was also quiet and indifferent.
Zhilan's voice was full of melancholy, "Master...Tang Lin, do you really care about our master?" She asked a strange question, and Tang Lin replied affirmatively, "Although I joined the teacher by accident,
But of course I care about the school, but I haven’t learned anything since I just started, and some things are still unclear. But I think the school is a kind of spirit and a kind of pride."
Zhilan was silent for another minute, and then asked a strange question, "Do you think the two of us can make our sect famous far and wide?"
Tang Lin did not answer immediately, and paused, "I can't do it myself, but if there is a senior sister with me, I think we can at least try hard. A lonely tree cannot make a forest. I am the only one who has to keep a low profile and hide my identity as a teacher. But
If Senior Sister returns, then the reputation of the sect will be restored. I firmly believe this, and the difference will be huge!"
Zhilan didn't say anything else, just said "I understand", and then hung up the phone again. It seemed that she was tempted...
