Fu Guomin explained his original thoughts in detail. When he first became the director of Dongzhou Culture and Tourism, he was also very ambitious and wanted to develop Dongzhou Culture and Tourism during his term. However, Dongzhou Barbecue led a short-term development
After the popularity of tourism, it encountered crises one after another.
The crisis caused by BBQ City directly led to his resignation. Now that Fu Guomin has come out of the trough, only he understands the hardship and pain of this process.
Wang Jianming tentatively asked Fu Guomin if he was still willing to contribute to Dongzhou.
Fu Guomin answered with a smile that the Dongzhou BBQ he opened now is to promote Dongzhou culture. Through his efforts, Dongzhou BBQ has become somewhat famous in the capital.
If Fu Guomin is willing, Wang Jianming will definitely give him a position as a consultant. However, the last major setback has made Fu Guomin completely disappointed with the system. He has no official position and is light. Now his barbecue business is booming and he still has more time.
Accompanying his wife and son, he could never look back, and he was unwilling to bear that kind of pressure.
After the luncheon ended, Xu Chunliang was called to his room again by Wang Jianming.
It was a little hot inside, so Wang Jianming went to open the window and let Xu Chunliang sit wherever he wanted.
Xu Chunliang sat down on the sofa.
Wang Jianming said: "Did you meet Mr. Ye when you came to Beijing this time?"
Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "See you."
Wang Jianming poured two cups of tea and handed one to him.
Xu Chunliang pretended to be flattered, stood up and took it with both hands.
After the two sat down, Wang Jianming took a sip of tea and said, "How is Mr. Ye's health?"
"You are strong." Xu Chunliang was a little confused. Wang Jianming was clearly asking about Mr. Ye's situation through himself. In fact, with the relationship between their two families, Wang Jianming could visit him in person, so why bother asking himself?
"That's good." Wang Jianming finished speaking and sighed: "My grandfather is very worried about Mr. Ye. Since Uncle Ye passed away, Mr. Ye has been reclusive. He refused to meet him when asked to meet him, and he even refused to answer the phone.
.”
Xu Chunliang sighed: "A white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift is really a huge blow to him."
Wang Jianming said: "When I came here this time, my grandfather gave me a task, asking me to go to Ye's house to visit Mr. Ye. After much thought, it would be more appropriate for you to say hello to him first."
Xu Chunliang secretly thought, based on the relationship between your two families, you can visit directly. Even if you want to find an intermediary to contact me, I am not the most suitable candidate. You just contact Ye Qingya. Could it be that he has already contacted Ye Qingya?
, was rejected by Ye Qingya?
Wang Jianming allowed himself to take the lead because he probably felt that he was his leader and since he had spoken, he could not refuse. If he had known this, when he asked Mr. Ye how his health was, he should have said that he was not doing well recently. Unexpectedly,
Wang Jianming still kept this foreshadowing after his question. After all, being a leader has a lot of tricks.
It was really hard for Xu Chunliang to refute him face to face, so he smiled and said, "Then I have to ask Sister Qingya."
Wang Jianming also laughed: "Okay, you can call her right here. My schedule in Beijing is very tight, so I have some free time today."
Xu Chunliang secretly sighed that this Wang Jianming was really pressing hard, so he called Ye Qingya in front of him.
Ye Qingya heard that Wang Jianming wanted to come to visit her grandfather, so she told Xu Chunliang without thinking that her grandfather had been in a bad mood for the past two days and didn't want to see anyone.
Xu Chunliang did not expect that Ye Qingya would be so disrespectful to Wang Jianming, but he was hoping so. If Ye Qingya agreed, Wang Jianming would most likely drag him along, so that he would not be used by him.
Xu Chunliang relayed Ye Qingya's reply to Wang Jianming, and Wang Jianming did not force it. He sighed and said, "We can only wait until we have the opportunity to talk about it later."
Xu Chunliang saw some secrets in it. Originally, he thought that Mr. Ye had a deep estrangement with Mr. Qiao because of Ye Changyuan's accidental death. Now it seems that the relationship between Mr. Ye and Mr. Wang has also undergone subtle changes.
The reason why Ye Qingya refused Wang Jianming's request to visit without hesitation proves that the relationship between the two families is no longer what it used to be.
In fact, this matter is not difficult to understand. Not long ago, Wang Zhengdao and his son caused a lot of trouble for Ye Qingya because they used her calligraphy and paintings as gifts.
Wang Jianming asked Xu Chunliang when he would return, and Xu Chunliang said he would leave tomorrow.
Xu Chunliang left Wang Jianming's room and went to Qin Zhengyang to speak again.
Xu Chunliang was a little curious about how Qin Zhengyang knew that he was in the capital.
Qin Zhengyang actually didn't know that Xu Chunliang was in the capital. It was Wang Jianming who asked him to call Xu Chunliang over for dinner, and then he knew that Xu Chunliang had also come to the capital.
Xu Chunliang thought about it for a moment, and he probably met Wang Jiancheng by chance in Ye Qingya's studio, and he told Wang Jianming what happened in the capital.
When Qin Zhengyang sent Xu Chunliang to the parking lot, Xu Chunliang saw a Beijing-branded Maybach approaching. He recognized the car as Qiao Rulong's at a glance.
Xu Chunliang and Qiao Rulong haven't interacted with each other for a while, and they were wondering whether they should say hello when they met here.
?????55.?????
After the Maybach stopped, the driver got out and quickly opened the door. What came out of the car was a beautiful woman with a delicate and quiet temperament.
Mei Ruxue probably didn't expect to meet Xu Chunliang here. She lacked sufficient psychological preparation for this encounter. She was obviously stunned for a moment, and her expression looked a little unnatural.
When Qin Zhengyang saw Mei Ruxue, he immediately glanced at Xu Chunliang. As Mei Ruxue's former colleague and Xu Chunliang's friend, he basically knew the story between the two of them.
Qin Zhengyang greeted him first and said, "Secretary Mei."
Mei Ruxue's eyes fell on Qin Zhengyang, she smiled and said: "Secretary Qin, is Secretary Wang here?"
Qin Zhengyang nodded: "Yes, I will take you there right now."
It wasn't that Mei Ruxue didn't want to say hello to Xu Chunliang, but her reserve made her feel that she shouldn't be the first to take this step.
Xu Chunliang thought for a while and then took the initiative to walk over to her: "What a coincidence!" Calling Secretary Mei was too offensive, and calling him Xiaoxue was afraid that Qin Zhengyang would think that their old relationship had rekindled, so they simply didn't call her, because Mei Ruxue knew that she
Talking to her.
When Qin Zhengyang heard what he was saying, he smiled at Mei Ruxue, then smiled at Xu Chunliang and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go up and talk to Secretary Wang."
Mei Ruxue said: "I'll go up with you."
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Xu Chunliang and said, "What a coincidence, you also live here?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head: "I am not coming to Beijing this time for official business."
Mei Ruxue nodded, noticing that Xu Chunliang was a little darker, but more energetic. She felt relieved but also felt some inexplicable loss in her heart. It seemed that the breakup of the two had no impact on him. Maybe she had never been in his heart.
They don't have much importance.
Mei Ruxue said: "Secretary Wang has something to do with me, so I'll go over first and we'll talk when we have a chance."
Xu Chunliang said: "Okay, then you are busy."
The two of them spoke polite words in a formal manner. Qin Zhengyang on the side felt that his presence was a bit redundant. He thought that the reason why they communicated in such a polite way was entirely because of the presence of himself, an outsider. From his perspective,
Xu Chunliang and Mei Ruxue are a perfect match in every aspect. It is a pity that they could not get together.
Xu Chunliang watched Mei Ruxue leave, and when he was about to go out and call for a taxi, the window of the Maybach rolled down, and Qiao Rulong's pale face appeared in front of him: "Where are you going? I'll take you off."
Because the privacy function of the car window is excellent, Xu Chunliang's attention was all on Mei Ruxue just now, and he didn't even notice his presence.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You're welcome, I'll take a taxi."
Qiao Rulong said: "Come up, I just have something to tell you."
Xu Chunliang just didn't want to have too much contact with Qiao's family, which didn't mean he was afraid of Qiao Rulong. He opened the car door and got in.
Qiao Rulong said: "Where are you going?"
Considering Qiao Rulong's feelings, Xu Chunliang still did not directly report the address of Ye Qingya's studio and asked the driver to take him to Hua Zhuyue first.
Qiao Rulong said: "You should know about my sister."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Qiao Rulong said calmly: "There is nothing to congratulate, and what I want to say is not about her work." He handed Xu Chunliang a bottle of water.
Xu Chunliang didn't answer: "Thank you, I don't need it."
Qiao Rulong said: "I hope you will get along well and break up, and try not to cause trouble to her in the future."
Xu Chunliang looked at Qiao Rulong with interest: "Mr. Qiao, you are worried too much."
Qiao Rulong smiled and said: "I know I shouldn't say it, but I am an older brother after all, and I should care about my sister. Don't think I'm too talkative."
Xu Chunliang said: "Responsibility is a good thing, but responsibility and ability are usually equal, don't you think?"
The smile on Qiao Rulong's face condensed. Xu Chunliang was clearly mocking his lack of ability, but Qiao Rulong couldn't refute it. It was always true that Xu Chunliang helped rescue Qi Shuang and his son. He couldn't deny that he owed Xu Chunliang a lot in this regard.
A big favor.
Qiao Rulong fell silent, and the atmosphere in the car became a little awkward in the silence. After a while, Qiao Rulong said: "Xiao Xu, I don't have any prejudice against you personally. On the contrary, I am very grateful to you and appreciate you.
It’s just... you should be able to understand that our family background determines everything we do, and we must consider everything comprehensively, right?"
Xu Chunliang nodded: "I understand. In fact, I think it's quite unfortunate to be born in a family like yours."
Qiao Rulong rarely heard people comment on his background like this, but he did not feel insulted. Instead, he felt that Xu Chunliang's words touched his heart. He forced out a smile: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite."
.”
Xu Chunliang remembered something. He found the family photo on his phone that was most likely that of Monk Tonghui and handed it to Qiao Rulong: "Mr. Qiao, do you recognize the person in the photo?"
