Mei Ruxue turned her attention to Mo Han. Since he was not looking for Wang Jinwu, he was looking for herself. She smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Mo is looking for me?"
Mo Han nodded: "Can we have a few words alone?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Okay."
Mo Han said: "It's too cold outside. Let's talk in the car?"
Wang Jinwu said: "Let's go to the hot spring hotel. It's almost lunch time. I'll make some arrangements. You two can give me some advice."
Mo Han said: "Does your hot spring hotel still have business?"
Wang Jinwu laughed awkwardly: "It would be quieter if there was no business."
Mei Ruxue and Mo Han still went to the hot spring hotel. Wang Jinwu arranged for them to stay in a room near the lake. The hotel facilities were first-rate, but unfortunately business was deserted.
Mei Ruxue took the tea made by the tea artist and said a little strangely: "It should be the peak season for hot spring hotels, why are there no guests?"
Mo Han said: "The main reason is the inconvenience of transportation. The reputation of Weishan Island has not yet been established. You should know that Dongzhou lacks a consistent policy. Sometimes it goes east, sometimes it goes west. After Wang Jianming took office, the cultural tourism work
The focus was on building the central axis of Dongzhou’s cultural context, but it didn’t succeed there, and it was almost unfinished here. Now that we have built a new Binhu District, isn’t it just a matter of going back and making up for it.”
What Mo Han said was too direct. Anyone else would definitely not say this in front of Mei Ruxue, but Mo Han didn't care.
Mei Ruxue smiled: "You seem to have some prejudice against Secretary Wang."
Mo Han said: "I am discussing the matter based on the facts, and I don't have any prejudice against you, Secretary Wang. Don't blame me."
Mei Ruxue smiled calmly and said: "I didn't expect you to be so concerned about the construction of Dongzhou."
Mo Han said: "There are so many people in Dongzhou, is it my turn to care? There is a certain amount of concern. You should know what I care about."
"I don't know, I don't know much about Miss Mo." Mei Ruxue knew very well that the person Mo Han cared about must be Xu Chunliang.
Mo Han said: "I heard that you released Xu Chunliang's pigeon?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Did he tell you?"
Mo Han shook his head: "No, he wouldn't say such a shameful thing."
Mei Ruxue said: "If you are referring to cooperative investment, it seems to have nothing to do with face, let alone me letting him go. Although I work in Binhu New District, this is not my home."
Mo Han sighed and said, "I'm really tired for you. You Qiao family are all the same."
Mei Ruxue frowned, feeling a little displeased in her heart. Mo Han was really arrogant. She said she would forget it and took the Qiao family with her. Mei Ruxue said coldly: "Miss Mo, please be careful in your words and deeds."
Mo Han said: "You can choose not to listen, but I have the freedom to express my opinions."
"You can express your opinions, but it's best not to hurt others while expressing your opinions."
Mo Han said: "I really can't figure it out. Is the Qiao family worthy of your protection like this?"
Mei Ruxue was obviously irritated: "Miss Mo, I think there is no need for us to continue talking."
Mo Han said: "You and Xu Chunliang broke up because of family interests, right?"
Mei Ruxue realized that Mo Han came here today just to irritate her. If she walked away, she would fall into his trap. Mei Ruxue was gentle on the surface but had a character that refused to admit defeat. She calmed down at this time and said softly.
: "It has nothing to do with family interests, it's our own fault."
Mo Han said: "Xu Chunliang seems to have lingering feelings for you."
Mei Ruxue looked at Mo Han with a smile: "It seems you care about him very much?"
Mo Han said: "Isn't it possible?"
Mei Ruxue said: "It's not surprising, he is indeed a very charming man, but there is no shortage of women who care about him around him." She paused here, picked up the black tea on the table, and took a sip.
When the fragrance of tea melted in his throat, he felt his mood relax, and then he said softly: "With all due respect, you may not be the most outstanding person."
Mo Han chuckled: "You are jealous."
Mei Ruxue sighed and said: "Your thinking is a bit unusual. When Xu Chunliang and I broke up, we had already let go of each other. Now we only have a working relationship. I am not interested in his topics. I am interested in the relationship between you and him."
I’m even less interested in time affairs, I think you should understand my answer like this.”
Mo Han nodded and said, "Not to mention that your temper is indeed a bit like the Qiao family."
Mei Ruxue said: "Miss Mo, do you have any other topics?"
Mo Han said: "Let's talk about investment. You should know that the contracting rights of the winery and hot springs are in my hands, and I plan to invest in Weishan Island."
Mei Ruxue said: "Hasn't Miss Mo already invested?"
Mo Han said: "It seems you don't understand the situation. Mutian Group is cooperating with Equator Capital. I have left Equator Capital long ago. Now I represent Mo Han Oriental." She took out her business card and handed it to Mei Ruxue.
Mei Ruxue glanced at it: "Is there any difference?"
Mo Han said: "The difference is huge. The topic still has to come back to Xu Chunliang. Wang Jianming put him in the Foreign Investment Promotion Office of the Commercial Committee. Not only did he have to work around him, but he would also take the blame at critical moments.
This investment meeting is very important to Xu Chunliang, so he also approached me. Originally, I thought you would cooperate in attracting investment, but now I heard that you let him go. If I invest in Weishan Island, wouldn’t it add to your political achievements?
"
Mei Ruxue smiled and said: "I welcome investment in Dongzhou. In fact, there is no need to make such a clear distinction. Since you mind, you can sign the contract at the investment conference."
Mo Han said: "Mei Ruxue, you already left, why did you come back?"
Mei Ruxue was startled. Mo Han suddenly called her by her first name. Why was there such a change?
Mei Ruxue said: "Of course I have to make my own choices in my life."
Mo Han shook his head: "It's hard to do it with your background. If you choose the Qiao family, everything will be compromised for the interests of the family. Maybe my question is a bit impolite. Do you mind if I ask?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Just ask."
"Do you think you have too many expectations placed on you and that the burden of the family falls on you? You must shoulder this responsibility, right?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Your question is indeed a bit rude." She was wondering why Mo Han would ask such a question.
Mo Han said: "Those who are in charge of the authorities are blind to those who are watching. From my perspective as a bystander, it seems that the Qiao family has never regarded you as one of their own."
Mei Ruxue's heart felt like she had been stabbed hard. If Mo Han had just talked nonsense, she could have laughed it off, but Mo Han's words hit the most sensitive part of her heart. Mei Ruxue thought to herself, you have
What qualifications do you have to say such a thing?
Mo Han said: "If the Qiao family asks you to make a sacrifice, will you agree?"
Mei Ruxue becomes more and more suspicious of Mo Han's purpose. Who is she? She seems to know her family very well. What is her purpose in saying these words to herself?
Mei Ruxue slowly put down her tea cup: "I have my own judgment."
Mo Han said: "Actually, I already know the answer. A person who is willing to give up his personal feelings for his family can let go of anything. Mei Ruxue, you are no longer the Mei Ruxue you used to be."
After Mo Han said this, she stood up and didn't even give Mei Ruxue more time to think.
Mei Ruxue looked at Mo Han's back. She left so resolutely, but left too many confusions.
At Dongzhou Yinlong Temple, Wang Zhengdao knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha and prayed silently. He prayed that his son could overcome the difficulties and that everything could slowly get better.
When Wang Zhengdao stood up and was about to leave, a monk came to him and handed him a letter.
Wang Zhengdao was a little surprised. After taking the letter and reading it, he suddenly grabbed the monk's arm: "Who gave it to you? Where is he?"
The monk was frightened by Wang Zhengdao's expression and said in panic: "Amitabha, the donor, please calm down. He is a middle-aged man. That man was near the bell tower just now." He pointed in the direction of the bell tower.
Wang Zhengdao looked up and saw that there was still someone there.
Wang Zhengdao searched around Yinlong Temple but could not find the messenger. After searching to no avail, he had no choice but to go down the mountain. On the way back to the affiliated hospital, his family called him to tell him that Qiao Yuanjiang was here.
Considering the relationship between the Qiao family and the Wang family, Mei Ruxue obviously does not have enough weight. As Qiao Yuanjiang's eldest son, it is appropriate for him to come to visit.
After Wang Zhengdao learned about this, he suddenly changed his mind about going home. He took the initiative to contact Qiao Yuanjiang, told him that he was working outside and could not make it back, and asked Qiao Yuanjiang to meet him in his office in two hours.
Wang Zhengdao’s office is located on the 49th floor of Zhengdao Plaza, the former Jianian Plaza. The location of this floor is also related to the complex in his heart for the Four Nine Cities.
Wang Zhengdao returned to the office and rested for a while, waiting for Qiao Yuanjiang's arrival.
Qiao Yuanjiang was ten minutes late than the agreed time, so Wang Zhengdao invited him into the office.
Qiao Yuanjiang held Wang Zhengdao's shoulders with a sad look on his face and said: "Zhengdao, why did this happen? You must take care of yourself. I will rely on you to take care of me after it is completed."
Wang Zhengdao patted Qiao Yuanjiang's hand: "Thank you, I'm old and I can't take care of him for the rest of my life."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Now that medicine is so advanced, Jiancheng will definitely recover. I think he is in good spirits, so you don't have to worry too much. Rulong was almost sentenced to death at that time, and he is not as good now."
Wang Zhengdao went to get a pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it.
Qiao Yuanjiang is actually a smoker. Wang Zhengdao's behavior is a bit rude in the eyes of smokers. He should at least be polite. However, Qiao Yuanjiang can also understand. After all, it is normal for Wang Zhengdao to be in a trance after encountering such an unfortunate thing.
Qiao Yuanjiang took out his cigarette and lit it himself.
Wang Zhengdao pointed to the sofa and said: "Sit!"
Qiao Yuanjiang said in his heart that you don’t even call me brother anymore. You boys all followed me back then, and you were called Brother Yuanjiang. Today I made a special trip from Nanjiang to visit your son. How come you don’t even understand the most basic manners?
