At noon the next day, Zhou Wen called Liu Ziguang and asked him to make preparations. He would drive to the provincial capital in the evening to do errands and asked for a car and some "local specialties." Liu Ziguang understood and immediately started making arrangements. Phaeton was still being repaired, and Xuanzi was not at home.
It was not convenient to borrow a car, so he called the group office and asked to borrow an Audi A6, but the office director hesitated and seemed embarrassed...

Liu Ziguang immediately understood that Li Wan was still angry with him. He just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He went directly to the Peace Hotel and borrowed Scar's new Chrysler 300c.
In the evening, Liu Ziguang changed into a set of decent clothes and drove to the downstairs of Zhou Wen's house. Zhou Wen got into the car with a big bag, put on his seat belt and asked, "Are you ready?"
"alright."
Liu Ziguang patted his pocket, and the small tank-like Chrysler 300c drove out of the city, onto the highway, and headed straight for the provincial capital.
On the highway, Zhou Wen explained to Liu Ziguang the purpose of going to the provincial capital. After careful inquiry and careful consideration, Mayor Zhou decided to run a magazine called "Qiu Zhi". This monthly magazine was written by Zheng Zheng.
It is a must-read book for the secretary, and the editor-in-chief of Qiuzhi, Professor Nan, is also a professor at the Central Party School. He has a very good personal relationship with Secretary Zheng and is quite famous in the country. If you can ask him for advice and arrange a good layout, it will be great.
I’m worried that Secretary Zheng can’t see it.
After the last car accident, Mayor Zhou no longer dared to use an official car. He was closely watched from all sides, and it was not convenient for him to come forward, so he asked his secretary and Liu Ziguang to go together to handle the matter. Of course, such an official
The main thing on the surface was Zhou Wen's involvement, while Liu Ziguang only acted as a mobile wallet.
The four-hundred-kilometer journey was completed in three hours, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived. At this time, there were not many people on the streets of Jiangbei City, but the provincial capital was still bustling with people, and the streets were full of people.
Zhou Wen often followed Zhou Chang to the provincial capital, and he was already familiar with the roads. He took Liu Ziguang to the downstairs of a KTV and made a phone call. Not long after, a trendy man dressed in Korean style came down. Upon closer inspection, he was actually quite young.
, Zhou Wen got out of the car and chatted with him for a few words, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over. The man squeezed the thickness of the envelope skillfully and stuffed it into his waist. He patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder and said something, then turned and went upstairs.
Went.
Zhou Wen returned to the car and let out a long breath and said: "Finally the arrangements have been made. Don't underestimate this man. He has great energy. He can accomplish things that others cannot. If we don't pass him, we will save money."
I've been queuing for a month in the city, but I still can't see Professor Nan. With his help, I can get in line tomorrow."
Liu Ziguang exclaimed: "Nowadays, university professors are like this. They have to queue up for appointments."
Zhou Wen shook his head and said helplessly: "You think these people are like Principal Lao Wang? They are actually people in the officialdom. You must not be stingy when the time comes. Otherwise, if the matter is not handled well, it will ruin the future."
The road is also closed."
Liu Ziguang was convinced, so they found a four-star hotel to stay, had some midnight snacks and went to bed early, waiting to meet Professor Nan tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the two got up, washed up, and drove to the famous Jiangdong University. This historical institution ranks among the top three in the country in terms of comprehensive strength. Many officials in the province are also from Jiangdong University, so the influence of this university is
Whether it is among the people or the officialdom, it is extremely profound.
Jiangdong University has a fine tradition of respecting teachers and teaching, and has built dormitories and villas for faculty and staff. This is extremely rare in a provincial capital where land is at a premium. Professor Nan is a senior intellectual who receives a special allowance from the State Council. Naturally,
I live in a villa area.
Liu Ziguang and Zhou Wen drove to the door of Professor Nan's house according to the address given by the man last night. They saw a Mercedes-Benz S-Class parked in the garage. Professor Nan's taste was evident, and the door was full of luxury cars. Look.
The license plates are for small cars from other counties and cities.
The two of them looked at each other and knew something in their minds. They went up to knock on the door, and it was the nanny who opened the door. Seeing their outfits and the big bags they were carrying, they asked calmly: "Is there an appointment?"
"
"We made an appointment. This is my business card." Zhou Wen politely presented the business card with both hands. The nanny looked at it and said, "Oh, come in." After that, he led the two of them to the living room, where there were already people sitting there.
There were a lot of people gathered, and the corners were piled with gifts. Everyone sat in a reserved manner, not daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing others.
The sofas and chairs were all full, and the nanny didn't find a seat for them or offer them tea. She simply said, "Professor Nan is still resting, so please don't make any noise."
Zhou Wen repeatedly said yes, standing there naturally admiring the decoration of the living room, but actually observing the guests on the sofa. There were several people dressed as students in their twenties, who should be doctoral students taught by Professor Nan, and
Several groups of people, wearing suits and ties with their heads tied behind their backs, looked like they were in the officialdom. They must have come here for the same purpose as Zhou Wen.
We waited until half past ten, and Professor Nan still hadn't gotten up. Just when everyone was a little anxious, Professor Nan finally appeared. He was of medium build, with gold-rimmed glasses and a little sparse hair. He looked approachable, but he was very resolute in his actions.
, he sat on the sofa and began to receive guests in order.
First, the doctoral students submitted their papers for review by their supervisor. Professor Nan took a few cursory glances and scolded the students, and Noono went back to revise them dejectedly. The whole process took no more than five minutes.
Then he began to receive other people. First, several ministers from the publicity department of a certain city from other places carefully handed over invitations and invited Professor Nan to attend the cultural and art festival held in their city. They also cut ribbons and wrote inscriptions. Professor Nan did not hide his displeasure at all.
He was patient and refused directly: "I am going to the Central Party School during that time and I am not free."
The minister stepped back and asked for a calligraphy painting from Professor Nan. Professor Nan was even more rude and said that he had not been in the mood to write recently and would like to talk about it next time. This was tantamount to a direct eviction order. The minister had no choice but to stand up and leave with a smile on his face, pointing at
The gift placed on the wall said: "Please accept some local specialties, Professor Nan."
"Take it, take it." Professor Nan waved his hand repeatedly, asking the nanny to carry the things out, and then began to receive the next group of guests.
Zhou Wen was heart-broken when he saw this. Professor Nan was too good. Although he could get a reservation through the professor's wife's nephew, he couldn't talk about it at all. Not to mention you, a little secretary, even the head of the Propaganda Department.
You can imagine the fate you will end up in.
Professor Nan's time was precious. After sending away a group of guests, he looked at his watch and exclaimed: "I have an appointment with someone for dinner. I have to go there quickly." After that, he got up and went out, leaving half of the guests in the room on the cold bench.
Everyone smiled bitterly, and could only endure the hunger and wait at Professor Nan's house. The nanny ignored them and went to the kitchen to cook and eat. The smell of the food came, and the guests who had been waiting since eight o'clock in the morning were already hungry.
It was rolling, but no one dared to leave. It would be a trivial matter to rely on connections to make an appointment, but it would be bad if it delayed the major task assigned by the leader.
Liu Ziguang couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to leave, but Zhou Wen tried hard to persuade him, saying that he would wait a few hours.
It was not until 2:30 in the afternoon that Professor Nan, who was full of wine and food, came belatedly. He also brought a bald old man with him. The two of them regarded half of the guests in the room as nothing, went straight into the inner room, and then never came out again.
.
The guests were sitting on pins and needles, neither leaving nor staying. They could only continue to sit hungry and embarrassed. They just sat like this. Everyone stared at them. All they could see was that the hands of the clock on the wall were moving. Liu Ziguang finally restrained himself.
Unable to stay any longer, he walked into Professor Nan's inner room while going to the toilet.
Professor Nan and the bald old man sat opposite each other, with all four eyes fixed on the chess game in front of them. It turned out that the two old men left the guests outside and talked among themselves inside.
Liu Ziguang took a quick look and suddenly understood. He took out a black cloud from Professor Nan's chess basket and placed it in the center of the chessboard.
Professor Nan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "Good chess!" This chess piece broke the deadlock and gave him inspiration and ideas. After turning the corner, Professor Nan fought for the first move and then gave up the corner.
On the ground, taking advantage of external forces in the middle and abdomen to form a large void, unexpectedly turned defeat into victory.
"Young man, do you know how to play chess?" Professor Nan did not blame Liu Ziguang for rushing in and messing with the chess pieces. He looked at him with interest and asked.
