After Liang Jian left, Zhang Jinlong stood up and filled the old man's teacup with water, then pulled up a chair and sat down opposite the old man. Top 23S.

The old man looked at Zhang Jinlong's series of actions and asked: "Xiaolong, you came to me suddenly today. Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Jinlong nodded and said: "Yes. Old man, I won't lie to you. I tell the truth. I came to you today to ask you for a favor."
The old man smiled and said: "I guessed it when you came in. Nowadays, simple young men like Liang Jian are rare. You and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we didn't have much friendship before. You suddenly walked in.
You must be asking for something from me!"
After hearing what the old man said, Zhang Jinlong smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, I know I came unexpectedly, but what I want to ask you for help is just a piece of cake for you."
The old man glanced at him and said, "It's easy to find someone for help. It shouldn't be said by someone asking for help."
When Zhang Jinlong heard this, he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
The old man looked at him, pondered for a while, and then suddenly sighed and said: "Since you are willing to work with Mr. Liang Jian to make plans for Fuhe Lane, I will first listen to what help you want from me.
Bar!"
Zhang Jinlong was slightly happy, and then immediately said: "I heard that your son, Comrade Xu Yongquan, is working in the United Front Work Department, and I want you to help..."
"If what you're talking about has something to do with Yong Quan, then you'd better stop talking. I can't decide on his affairs!" Mr. Xu interrupted Zhang Jinlong before he could finish his words.
Zhang Jinlong was stunned. He didn't expect that before he finished speaking, the old man rejected him. After all, he was also the mayor of Huajing City. The old man did this with a bit of shame.
After he was silent for a while, he wanted to try again. But as soon as he opened his mouth and the sound had not come out, the old man raised his hand, blocked it in front of him, and said: "Stop talking, I told you
, I can’t make the decision on anything related to him. I’m not lying to you, it’s the truth. If you have other matters, maybe I can help. As for his affairs, I really can’t help.
Sorry!"
The old man had said so, and Zhang Jinlong understood that if he continued to pester him, he would be asking for trouble. He could only smile and said: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. However, I am very happy to see you today.
. Back then, you stayed here for more than ten years, which is really admirable. The good planning and development here today are inseparable from your work back then. This is all your contribution
ah!"
The old man looked at him and suddenly grinned. This smile made Zhang Jinlong feel a little scared. Just when he was confused, the old man suddenly said: "Who are you? Why do you look familiar to me?"
Zhang Jinlong was suddenly stunned.
After he explained a few words, the old man failed to remember who he was this time. Zhang Jinlong sat there, feeling bored and disappointed, so he walked a few steps outside, took out his cell phone, and started calling Liang Jian.
At this time, Liang Jian and Min'er were explaining to an aunt about the elderly apartment in a serious manner. Just as he was talking about the key point, his cell phone rang.
Liang Jian took out his phone and saw that it was Zhang Jinlong's phone number, so he immediately picked it up.
"Come back, we're leaving," Zhang Jinlong said.
Liang Jian had no choice but to end the conversation with the aunt in a hurry and returned with Min'er.
After arriving, Liang Jian saw Zhang Jinlong standing at the door of the main room, while the old man was alone in the room, and his heart skipped a beat. Looking at this situation, it was probably because the things Zhang Jinlong wanted to do were not going well.
He looked carefully at Zhang Jinlong's expression, and although he couldn't see anything, there was no joy at all. This further supported Liang Jian's guess.
When Liang Jian walked up to him, Zhang Jinlong immediately said: "Go and say goodbye to the old man. Let's go. I'm in a hurry and have to rush back immediately."
Liang Jian was doubtful about his statement that something was urgent, but he still walked into the house quickly. When the old man saw him, he said with a smile: "Young man Liang Jian, why are you here?"
He was stunned for a moment. At this time, Min'er next to him said with a bitter face: "It seems that grandpa has forgotten what happened before."
Listening to Min'er's words and looking at the old man's smiling face, Liang Jianxin suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He thought of Liang's father and Liang's mother. Inexplicably, he felt a little worried and guilty. Although they lived in the same city now,
But in fact, Liang Jian rarely visits them, at most three or four times a month. It’s not because he doesn’t want to visit them, but sometimes he really can’t spare the time. Sometimes, when he is rarely free, he might want to take his children to other places.
If you go back and forth to this place, you will leave them there.
Liang Jian stood there for a while, then came to his senses and said goodbye to the old man. When the old man heard that he was leaving, he was very surprised and asked Liang Jian: "Why did you just come and want to leave?"
Min'er smiled reluctantly at the side: "Grandpa, Brother Liang has been here for a while, don't you remember?"
The old man frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Has it been a while? Why am I not impressed?"
Liang Jian couldn't bear him frowning and worrying, so he smiled and said: "Old man, it didn't take a while. It's just that I'm in a hurry and have to leave first. How about I come back to see you later and talk to you?"
"
"Then you have to keep your word!" The old man immediately laughed.
Liang Jian nodded.
The old man insisted on letting Min'er push him and then sent Liang Jian out, but he couldn't stop him. Liang Jian had no choice but to follow him, then took over Min'er's work and pushed him out himself.
Zhang Jinlong walked beside him and remained silent all the way. Listening to Liang Jian and the old man talking, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk, he really couldn't interrupt.
At the entrance of the alley, Liang Jian stopped, bent down and said to the old man: "Old man, we are here, my car is in front. I promise, I will come back when I turn around."
"Okay, then I won't send you away. You go slowly. You have to remember what you said." The old man said.
Liang Jian nodded, then straightened up and waved to Min'er, then walked towards the car with Zhang Jinlong.
When he got out of the car and was about to leave, Liang Jian saw in the rearview mirror that the old man and Min'er were still there. He reached out and waved to them.
Looking in the rearview mirror, the old man also raised his hand and waved.
At this time, Zhang Jinlong, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said: "Liang Jian, let me ask you a question."
Liang Jian withdrew his gaze, glanced at the rearview mirror in the car, and said, "You tell me."
"I think you have a very good relationship with the old man. Do you come here often?" Zhang Jinlong asked.
Liang Jian didn't think much and replied: "No, this is the second time."
"Then do you know the old man's son Xu Yongquan?" Zhang Jinlong asked again.
Liang Jian originally had nothing on his mind, but when he heard this, he suddenly had something on his mind. After thinking about it, he replied: "We met once and didn't talk much. Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Mayor Zhang chuckled and said, "I'm just asking casually. This Xu Yongquan is also a famous figure. I thought you were familiar with him!"
Liang Jian took over the conversation and said: "We had a chance encounter, not even acquaintance. If we touch me now, he may not be able to recognize me."
"This should be unlikely. You, Liang Jian, are also a famous figure in the political circle." Zhang Jinlong said.
Liang Jian smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not a good name!"
"I don't know if it has a good name or not, but a bad name should be nothing." Zhang Jinlong said with a smile.
Liang Jian answered: "There is no bad reputation." After saying this, Zhang Jinlong did not answer. The carriage fell into silence. Liang Jian did not want to speak casually, for fear that Zhang Jinlong would mention the topic about Xu Yongquan just now.
When Zhang Jinlong mentioned Xu Yongquan, Liang Jian had already roughly guessed that the purpose of his coming here today was probably related to Xu Yongquan. However, Liang Jian could not guess what the specific matter was.
After the car drove for about ten minutes, it was still seven or eight minutes away from the city hall. Suddenly, Zhang Jinlong, who had been closing his eyes to rest for the past ten minutes, opened his eyes, and then looked at the back of Liang Jian's head.
He said abruptly: "I have something I want to ask you for help with."
Liang Jianzheng was thinking wildly while driving. Zhang Jinlong's voice suddenly appeared, startling him. After he came to his senses, he asked: "What do you want me to do?"
Zhang Jinlong said: "I want to meet Xu Yongquan alone. Please help me find a way to ask him out."
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid I can't do this. I'm not familiar with Comrade Xu Yongquan either." Liang Jian didn't want to get involved in the affairs between him and Xu Yongquan.
He owed Mr. Xu's family a favor. The most important thing is that before Liang Jian's current status was different, he owed a favor to the Xu family, which was equivalent to the Tang family and Mr. Xiang owed them a favor. Therefore, Liang Jian could not take this favor lightly.
It's a casual debt. What's more, Liang Jian still doesn't know what Zhang Jinlong wants from Xu Yongquan!
However, Zhang Jinlong didn't seem to want to give up easily. He frowned and asked, "You said you can't do it without even trying?"
Liang Jian didn't want to embarrass Zhang Jinlong over such an incident. It would be bad if he turned around and held grudges about Fuhe Lane and caused him some trouble.
Liang Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Then can you tell me first why you are looking for Xu Yong?"
Zhang Jinlong pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then said: "It's not impossible to tell you. However, you have to keep it a secret and you can't tell it."
"Don't worry about this." Liang Jiandao.
Zhang Jinlong glanced at him and then told him the reason. In fact, the reason why he wanted to see Xu Yongquan was not for personal matters, but for work matters.
When Liang Jian heard that it was a work matter, he felt slightly shaken if he refused to help.
"Don't worry, even if you don't want to help, or can't help, as long as the people of Fuhe Lane have no objection to the matter in Fuhe Lane, it will still be carried out according to that plan. I will not be involved in that matter because of your failure to help.
Don't worry about this, no matter what." Zhang Jinlong said suddenly. He may have thought that Liang Jian was worried because he was quiet at the moment.
However, Liang Jian was indeed worried. When he said this, he felt a lot more relieved, but also a little more shaken.
After thinking for a while, he said to Zhang Jinlong: "Do you think this will work? I'll try to contact Xu Yongquan first, but I can't guarantee the result."
"Okay, then you go and try it first." Zhang Jinlong agreed without saying a word. This made Liang Jian feel a little fond of him again.
