When Luo Ziling and Wu Yue walked into the hotel lobby together, they saw Wu Jiandong sitting in the tea bar in the lobby drinking tea.
Luo Ziling walked over quickly and said hello before Wu Jiandong noticed him: "Wu Shuji, I didn't know you were coming to Hengdian, so I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
Seeing Luo Ziling coming over, Wu Jiandong immediately stood up, smiled and extended his hand to him: "Young Master Luo, you are so polite. I just passed by Hengdian on a business trip and was going back to Yuezhou. I heard that Young Master Luo was in Hengdian, so I came over to visit.
.Don’t be surprised if you come here without making an appointment. I have just arrived. I heard that Mr. Luo went to have a late night snack. I originally wanted to come over to have some food and drinks, but I was afraid that I would be too old and might lose your interest, so I came here.
These are for tea."
"It's my fault!" Luo Ziling felt even more embarrassed, "How about we go up to the room to drink tea?"
"Okay!" Wu Jiandong agreed immediately, "I just don't know if Mr. Luo has brought tea!"
"I brought some tea, I hope Wu Shuji won't dislike it!"
"Haha, Mr. Luo's tea is definitely not bad!" Wu Jiandong patted Luo Ziling's shoulder and walked out of the teahouse with him, "Then I'm going to try what Mr. Luo's good tea tastes like."
Although Luo Ziling was surprised that Wu Jiandong treated him so casually today, he probably guessed something, so he didn't mind.
The two went upstairs and entered Luo Ziling's room. Wu Jiandong smiled and asked, "How many days will Mr. Luo be staying in Hengdian?"
"I'm leaving tomorrow to Yuezhou!" Luo Ziling told the truth, "I'm going to visit the old house. My grandfather asked me to bring him some loquats and peaches grown in front of the old house and in the yard. He hasn't eaten them in many years.
The fruits grown in my yard. I originally wanted to visit Wu Shuji after Yuezhou, but I didn’t expect to meet him here!"
"Haha, that's it!" Wu Jiandong smiled heartily again, "It's rare to come back and I must go to the old house to see it. During the plum rain season, many fruits are ripe. Although the fruit flavor is a little lighter because of the heavy rain, it doesn't count.
Oops. When the time comes, I will have someone prepare some good-quality fruits, and you can bring them back to Yanjing to Mr. Luo and your mother!"
"Wu Shuji is so polite, have you forgotten that I have a huge fruit garden in Yuezhou?"
"Ha, I really didn't expect this." Wu Jiandong patted his head, "But the nature is different. The fruits I send are my intentions, and the fruits you own are your intentions. Their intentions are different.
, the taste is also different.”
"Okay, then I won't be polite!" Luo Ziling did not refuse Wu Jiandong's suggestion of sending fruits.
After some polite exchanges, the distance between the two quickly narrowed.
Luo Ziling really admired people in the officialdom. It was just a matter of effort to get close to someone.
After drinking tea, Luo Ziling took the initiative to talk about business.
"I heard that Mayor Ding went to the provincial capital last month to take up his post. It took me several days to find out about it." Luo Ziling first brought the topic to Ding Zhongming, "If I have time to go to Qiantang this time, I must ask him to treat me.
It would be too stingy if you don’t show any signs of promotion even after you get promoted!”
"Old Ding is really lucky," Wu Jiandong said with a smile: "Not long after he arrived in Yuezhou, he was transferred to an important position in the province. Many people are envious of him!"
"Mayor Ding's performance when he was in Yuezhou must have been remarkable, otherwise the superiors would not have looked at him differently. However, I heard that the superiors also recognized Wu Shuji's ability very much!" At this point, Luo Ziling
I stopped on purpose and drank tea slowly.
After Wu Jiandong secretly cursed "little slippery man", he immediately answered Luo Ziling's words: "I am not as capable as Lao Ding, and I have not been in Yuezhou for a long time. The achievements that Yuezhou has achieved in recent years are largely due to Lao Ding."
Yes, I’m just taking advantage of it.”
Although Luo Ziling was very naughty, he immediately brought the topic to what he was interested in and completely dominated the conversation between the two. Wu Jiandong was quite surprised.
He has been in the officialdom for so many years and has seen many scenes, but as far as he knows, Luo Ziling has not been out of a small mountain village in the northwest for a year.
A young man who has only been in a big city for less than a year is actually so experienced in doing things. When communicating with an experienced person like him, he can easily take the dominant position and change the topic at will. This communicative ability cannot but be admired.
It can only be said that a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes - many innate things are the factors that determine a person's success or failure. Such as status and talent.
Luo Ziling knew that Wu Jiandong would be polite, but he ignored it and said more directly: "In a few days, at least around the summer vacation, Wu Shuji will go to the province to take up a post. Should I congratulate you in advance?"
Wu Jiandong had heard a little bit of news in this regard, but he was not sure about it.
Today I deliberately took a detour to Hengdian to find Luo Ziling, and waited in the hotel lobby for more than half an hour. Actually, I just wanted to inquire about this matter. Unexpectedly, before he could go around and inquire, Luo Ziling took the initiative to talk about it.
The result was as he hoped, which greatly surprised Wu Jiandong.
However, the look of surprise on his face flashed across his face. He smiled sheepishly and continued to say humbly: "If the province really decides this, then I will definitely be flattered. I feel that I have not done anything to gain it."
I really don’t dare to think so much about the achievements of my actions.”
"Perhaps, in a few years, I can have tea with Wu Shuji in Yanjing, but I don't know what to call you then!" Luo Ziling looked at Wu Jiandong with a smile on his face, but there was a playful look in his smile.
"Young Master Luo, please don't have Wu Shuji on the left and Wu Shuji on the right. You are a little panicked when you listen to me. Otherwise, since I am a few years older than you, just call me Brother Jiandong. This will appear cordial!"
"Wu Jiandong said sincerely: "No matter where I work in the future, I don't want Mr. Luo to call me by his official title. That would seem too alienating!"
"That's not good!" Luo Ziling quickly shook his head, "You and my dad are about the same age. If I call you brother, then you can't call me dad or mom uncle or aunt? Otherwise, I'd better call you uncle. In this generation
There can be no chaos!”
Wu Jiandong quickly refused, saying that he hoped to treat Luo Ziling as brothers, but Luo Ziling was unwilling to accept it.
In the end, he had to agree to Luo Ziling's request to call him "uncle".
After such a fuss, the relationship between the two became closer, at least in Wu Jiandong's opinion.
After some polite remarks, Luo Ziling said again: "However, there is one thing I want to remind Uncle Wu, that is, never lose your way for money. If you have always been of noble character and do not seek personal gain for yourself, then I
I can guarantee that your future will be higher than you expected."
Luo Ziling's words immediately frightened Wu Jiandong, and he immediately promised that he would remember Luo Ziling's reminder and never forget it.
When he made such a guarantee, he looked at Luo Ziling even more differently.
"He is truly the phoenix among men!" (To be continued)
