Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty Two

After seeing off Pei Danian, Zhu Huaijing looked at his watch, it was past four o'clock.Because it was the weekend, he wanted to go back and have a look.After entering the office for a while, Fang Mingyuan came and told him that Mayor Pi was going to visit Jingshan Temple tomorrow. There was no one else but the driver and the two of them.Because of what Pei Danian said about Fang Mingyuan just now, Zhu Huaijing felt a little uncomfortable.But he didn't show it at all, and politely asked Fang Mingyuan to sit down.He guessed that it was Fang Mingyuan who spoke in front of Mayor Pi and asked him to go and have fun together, after all he was a little grateful.There was no one else in the office, Fang Mingyuan's tone was neither serious nor light, but when Zhu Huaijing heard it, he knew that this matter should be kept secret.

"Huai Jing, do you have any plans for today?" Fang Mingyuan asked the general idea. Zhu Huaijing originally wanted to go to the concert with Yuqin tonight, but now he didn't know what good business Fang Mingyuan had, so he tentatively asked, "What good arrangements do you have?" Fang Mingyuan said: "It's like this. If Mayor Pi goes to Jingshan Temple tomorrow, the two of us have to make a stop tonight. You know, that kind of place is not something that a dignified mayor can go to casually, so we have to pay attention to the impact. " "That's right, there's nothing to say. This is an overwhelming task. When you leave, I'll wait for your call."

Fang Mingyuan left, Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to call Yuqin, saying that there was a government executive meeting tonight and he had to attend it.He couldn't tell Yuqin that he was going to Jingshan Temple, it would be too troublesome to explain.And what about Yuqin?As long as it is for work reasons, she has always been open, so she didn't say much.Let’s just say that this is a high-end concert, and all the top artists in the country are here. It’s a pity that the ticket costs more than 200 yuan.Zhu Huaijing joked, what a pity?Anyway, it was a ticket sent by someone else. There was still half an hour before get off work, and Zhu Huaijing took out Zhang Tianqi's paper and flipped through it casually.He had polished the thesis long ago, and it was passable.But he didn't want to send it to Zhang Tianqi immediately, lest people say that he was not serious about helping.Now Zhang Tianqi treats him well, so he can help as much as he can.There are not many friends in the officialdom. If Zhu Huaijing didn't have Fang Mingyuan, he might not be able to make his mark now.But what Pei Danian said was always stuck in his heart, and his feelings for Fang Mingyuan became complicated again.That time when Pi Yong went abroad, Fang Mingyuan invited him to have dinner at Mayor Pi's house, and asked the two of them to contribute 5,000 yuan each.Unexpectedly, Fang Mingyuan "the wool came from Chu", and he took advantage of Pei Danian.He didn't pay for it himself and didn't say anything, but he made five thousand yuan.God knows how Fang Mingyuan thought of inviting Zhu Huaijing to go with him?Could it be that Fang Mingyuan didn't want to take out all the 10,000 yuan he got, and wanted to find someone to collect the 10,000 yuan to make it look better?Now I can't recall the details of that time, would this kid Fang Mingyuan temporarily switch the package and give away the 10,000 yuan as a favor from him alone?Thinking of this, Zhu Huaijing's mood became bad, and he didn't have the heart to read Zhang Tianqi's paper anymore.He secretly sighed, in the officialdom, you still have to be careful when making friends.

Zhu Huaijing returned home with his head down, his wife Xiangmei and son Qiqi had already returned.Xiangmei is cooking, and the son is playing by himself.He patted his son's face, then leaned against the kitchen door to talk to Xiangmei, watching his wife busy.Seeing that Xiangmei had prepared a few more dishes, she asked what day is today?Xiangmei told him that she called Simao for dinner tonight.Simao is now leading twenty people to work, and he is also very busy. It has been a long time since he was called over for dinner.Zhu Huaijing was afraid that the time would be wasted too much, and he had to go to Jingshan Temple in the evening, so he said, "I have to hold a government executive meeting in the evening."

Xiangmei looked back at him and said, "When will you have a free time? Well, anyway, it's my family, and I didn't cook much, so it's fine." Zhu Huaijing asked: "I don't know how Simao is doing? The money must have been earned. I can't say some things, you can tell me as a cousin. He is actually going around the rivers and lakes now, and he has to learn how to manage. As the saying goes, in the river The money he earns is used in the river. The money he earns is only for personal use, so it won’t last long. Of course we won’t want him, he can figure it out on the outside.”

Just as he was talking, Simao knocked on the door and came in.Si Mao was wearing a navy blue suit and an elegant floral tie.Si Mao called brother-in-law, sat down, and bounced Erlang's legs.He clasped his hands together and clasped his knuckles loudly.Zhu Huaijing thought to himself that this Simao had begun to learn gentleness, and he still had a sour taste.He and Si Mao were polite, but still went back to the kitchen door, wanting to talk softly with Xiangmei about his impressions.But he just wanted to call Xiangmei, but he felt that it was Yuqin that jumped to his throat, and his face became hot with fright.Xiangmei faintly sensed something, and looked back at him.He smiled vaguely and perfunctorily passed it.Xiangmei also smiled and said it was fine.

During the meal, Zhu Huaijing asked about the Simao maintenance team.Si Mao sizzled his wine glass and said it was okay, he chose the people he invited, and everything was up to him.Zhu Huaijing saw that Si Mao was a little complacent and disliked, so he said: "You still have to be stricter with those people. People from the countryside go to the city for a long time, and they tend to get carried away. This is the head office, so be careful everywhere. Don't go to the city. People mess around in the office, don’t go loud everywhere. Especially hands and feet must be clean, petty theft must never happen.”

"Yes, I often tell them." Si Mao loosened his tie as he spoke, as if he was getting hot. Zhu Huaijing saw that Simao was a little uncomfortable, and he asked with concern, "What are you busy with?" Si Mao said: "The road from the second office building to the fourth office building has to be dug out and re-paved with cement. There is also a garden behind the third office building. The old railings have to be dismantled and replaced with new ones; Rework, replace it with cobblestones, like the one in Bayi Park. There is a big project in the next step, and all the walls at the west gate will be opened up and converted into a facade."

"Okay, just do it well." Zhu Huaijing said in a complimenting tone.He thought that the projects that Simao talked about, except for the appearance change, were all done last year over and over again, as if they were worried that there was no place to spend the money.That's right, the more things you do, the more Simao earns. After eating, just as Zhu Huaijing started to wash his face, Fang Mingyuan called and said that the car had arrived downstairs.Zhu Huaijing said that he didn't dare to dare, so he called and went downstairs. When I went downstairs, I didn't see Mayor Pi's car.As he was looking around, he heard Fang Mingyuan calling Huai Jing.It turned out that Fang Mingyuan was standing under the shadow of a tree not far away, with a Mitsubishi Jeep parked beside him.Zhu Huaijing went over and looked at the license plate, it was very strange.Fang Mingyuan obviously saw what he was thinking, and said, "This is Mayor Pi's nephew's own car." Zhu Huaijing now understood the mystery.

After getting into the car, Fang Mingyuan said let's go, and the car started.The driver kept silent and just drove.Fang Mingyuan introduced that it was Xiaotian, and the driver of Xiaotian turned around and smiled at Zhu Huaijing.Zhu Huaijing thought that the young man was so careful, maybe he wasn't Mayor Pi's nephew. After passing the Jingshui Bridge, you are in the north of the city.Going in the direction of Jingshan Temple from here, the traffic gradually thinned out.The busy city quickly passed away, and slowly entered the open field.Zhu Huaijing suddenly noticed the bright light shining on the rapeseed leaves outside the car window, which was very moving.It turns out that today is the fifteenth day of the second lunar month, the night of the full moon!Thinking of this, Zhu Huaijing's eyes seemed to brighten up, and he could see the black shadow of Jingshan Mountain from a distance. Under the cold moonlight, it looked like a beautiful woodcut.

The road snaked up, and the street lights on both sides glowed orange.Along this road, there is a small brook flowing, which never dries up all year round.The source of the creek is the Foying Spring behind Jingshan Temple.According to legend, in the midsummer of the last year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the eminent monk Fayuan, master of straw sandals, wandered here and saw the clear springs gushing silently under the cliff, converging into deep pools, and then trickling into streams, and he was secretly happy.Looking around, you can see towering rocks, thorns everywhere, towering ancient trees, and excellent scenery.The sky was getting dark, Master Fayuan couldn't bear to leave, the mountains and clouds were the curtain, the night moon was the hook, and he slept against the rock and the spring.At night, I suddenly had a dream, and I saw white light shining like a lotus flower at the place where the spring came out.Master Fa Yuan put his palms together, closed his eyes and recited Buddha's name.At this time, someone suddenly heard someone chanting loudly in mid-air: There is a spring but no sound, form and no nature, the four elements are empty and suffering, the five skandhas have no self, birth and death change, hypocrisy has no owner, the heart is the source of evil, and the form is a sinful place. Master Fayuan woke up, vaguely remembered these eight lines of gatha, and recited them over and over again, and suddenly became enlightened.He built a thatched hut by the spring and practiced on the spot.Since then, this nameless spring has been called Foying Spring.After more than 1,500 years, Jingshan Temple became more and more popular, and there were many eminent monks and great virtues.This place has become a famous temple in the south, and faithful men and women worship it all year round. Now the abbot of the temple seems to be Master Yuanzhen. I heard that he graduated from a famous Buddhist academy and is an eminent monk.Zhu Huaijing couldn't remember which magazine he read about Master Yuanzhen, but he seemed to be a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The car can only drive to the Jingshan Temple, and then has to climb ninety-nine and eighty-one stone steps.Fang Mingyuan told Xiaotian to wait here, and he and Zhu Huaijing went up the stairs. "I didn't expect Mayor Pi to have such a sense of elegance?" Zhu Huaijing asked. Fang Mingyuan looked behind carefully, then smiled and said: "Can't you see? Mayor Pi believes in this the most. He comes several times a year, and he must come during the first month. This year's first month is too busy. It has been delayed until today. Mayor Pi’s wife is over eighty years old and lives in her daughter’s home. Her old man is an ordained lay Buddhist who eats fast and recites Buddha all the year round. Good blessings in front of the Bodhisattva. Mayor Pi is not free to come to Jingshan Temple in the first month of this year, the old man came in person and asked for leave in front of the Bodhisattva for Mayor Pi." Zhu Huaijing couldn't help laughing and said, "Can I still ask for leave in front of the Bodhisattva? It's fresh." Fang Mingyuan also smiled and said, "Reform and opening up." Zhu and Fang stuck out their tongues, looked at each other and smiled. The stone steps were very steep, and there was no place to rest in the middle. When they climbed outside Jingshan Temple, both of them felt sweat profusely on their backs.The mountain gate is closed, and the familiar couplet looks illusory and mysterious under the moonlight: The first dojo in the Eastern Jin Dynasty The No. 1 Blessed Land in the South Zhu Huaijing said to stand for a while, he couldn't breathe well.The two stood outside the temple for a rest.Zhu Huaijing suddenly seemed to realize something, and said: "If I really believed in Buddhism, I would specially choose a night like today to worship Buddha. Look at the atmosphere, the moon is white and the wind is clear, everything is ethereal, and the mind is refreshing. This is called tranquility and tranquility." , the six roots are clean!" Fang Mingyuan smiled and didn't speak.The two stood for a while, then went to knock on the door.After knocking for a long time, the door creaked and opened a crack. A young monk stuck out his head and asked impatiently, "What do you do?" Fang Mingyuan said: "We are friends of Master Yuanzhen. My surname is Fang." The little monk glanced at the two of them and said, "Just wait." The little monk still closed the door.Zhu Huaijing was amused, and felt that this monk was not the kind of monk he imagined, who put his hands together when he saw a benefactor, Amitabha, but a vulgar look, vulgar accent, and his behavior was no different from that of a salesperson in a state-owned store. Not long after, I heard someone scolding the little monk inside, "You really are, why did you let Director Fang stand outside?" Then I heard the little monk argue in a low voice.The door opened, and a middle-aged monk in a red cassock stretched out his hands to greet him, even saying he was negligent.Fang Mingyuan introduced: "This is Director Zhu. This is Master Yuanzhen." Master Yuanzhen hastily cupped his hands and said a long time, then shook hands with Zhu Huaijing tightly.After finishing the formalities, Master Yuanzhen invited the two of you to enter the mountain to talk.Fang Mingyuan and Master Yuanzhen walked in front side by side, Zhu Huaijing walked in the middle, and the young monk followed.Master Yuanzhen talked and laughed with Fang Mingyuan, like old friends.Yuan Zhen turned her head and smiled at Zhu Huaijing from time to time, fearing that she would neglect him.Zhu Huaijing found it more and more interesting.I thought to myself that this circle is really respectful and polite, but how can it be the taste of a monk?Monks pay attention to equality and harmony, but this circle is really too smooth. Jingshan Temple is built on the mountain. When you enter the mountain gate, you will face the Temple of Heavenly Kings.There is a small pavilion built on the big rock in front of the hall. On the pavilion, the three characters of "Buddha Shadow Spring" are fresh and beautiful, which seems to hide Zen.The gurgling clear spring is silently gushing from the bottom of the rock, and flows out of the temple through the culvert on the right side of the mountain gate.A group of people passed through the ear door from the left side of the Tianwang Hall, climbed up the stairs, and saw the Daxiong Hall.In front of the Daxiong Palace is a large flat, and on the left is the Drum Tower.The Drum Tower and Bell Tower have long been useless, because the bell and drum have been protected as cultural relics, and Jingdu people have not heard the morning bell and evening drum of Jingshan Temple for many years.Climb another ten or so stone steps and go up one more level, which is the Dharma Hall.Go up the mountain, followed by Bodhidharma Pavilion and Pilu Pavilion.The monk's dormitory is at the foot of the mountain at the back. Under the dim light, you can see the word "solemn" written on the corridor eaves, and the word "abbot" on the lintel of the big monk's room at the left end.Looking back to the right, there is a wall under the monk's dormitory, and a door in the wall is like a hole, and the door is closed tightly.There lived nuns.The monks and nuns of Jingshan Temple are in the same temple. When they reached the gate of the abbot, Master Yuanzhen stood sideways, and politely let Zhu Fang in first.The inside is also simple, just a bed, a table, a few chairs, and several large and small wooden basins.Master Yuanzhen quickly picked up a rag, wiped the chair, and invited Zhu Fang to sit down.The little monk hurriedly took a cup and poured tea.Zhu Huaijing thought humorously, this is what is often said in the book, let the abbot enter, sit and watch tea, right? Master Yuanzhen crossed Erlang's legs for a while, but felt that something was wrong, and put them down.Seeing that Zhu Fang and the others hadn't drunk tea, he said, "The tea is not good, please forgive me." Where Fang Mingyuan said, he picked up the teacup and drank it.Zhu Huaijing had a strange feeling since he was a child. It seemed that these monks were dirty, and even the smell of cigarettes in the temple made him feel sick.Seeing this situation, he had no choice but to take a turn.But I found that this tea is really good, with a deep fragrance and sweetness in the bitterness. After drinking tea for a while, Fang Mingyuan said, "Master Yuanzhen, Mayor Pi has been extremely busy since the beginning of the year, and he didn't have time to go up the mountain. He plans to come tomorrow, early in the morning." Master Yuanzhen's eyes flashed, his brows were beaming with joy, and he said, "Welcome! The old man is too busy, and he can't forget to go up the mountain to take a look. This is the blessing of Jingdu's monks and laymen! Thank you for your concern! Amitabha!" When Master Yuanzhen closed his eyes and clapped his hands together, Zhu Huaijing found that the little finger on his left hand was gone, only nine fingers.I thought to myself that the abbot could only put his hands together, not put his hands together. Fang Mingyuan said: "It's still the old rule. Mayor Pi comes earlier, and you don't let anyone in. Wait until Mayor Pi leaves before allowing people in." Master Yuanzhen nodded and said, "Naturally, this is naturally." Fang Mingyuan explained again: "You don't need to prepare anything, just boil some water, prepare some tea leaves, and make a cup of tea." Master Yuanzhen said: "Ashamed, this is the only tea." Zhu Huaijing said: "I think this tea is very good." Things are settled, just sit around and talk plainly.Fang Mingyuan asked: "How did you feel when you came to Japan last time?" Master Yuanzhen said: "Thanks to the leaders for their concern, it is very good. The Buddhist cause in Japan is more prosperous than ours. I have visited some eminent Japanese monks and exchanged ideas with each other, which is very insightful. After hearing these words, Zhu Huaijing guessed that Yuan really had just returned from a visit to Japan.Fang Mingyuan sighed again: "Buddhism is profound and profound, and we ordinary people are not wise enough!" Yuan Zhen shook his head and said, "Where! Buddhism is mostly misunderstood by the world. Buddha is just a kind of spirit and a state advocated by Buddhism. It is enlightenment. Everyone can become a Buddha. Buddhas are enlightened sentient beings, and sentient beings are unenlightened Buddhas. Buddhism believes that all things have Buddha nature. For example, Christianity says 'God is omnipresent', and our Buddhism says 'Buddhism is boundless' and 'Buddha's light shines everywhere'. Buddhism is even interlinked with Confucianism. Yao and Shun'; Buddhism says 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately' and 'become a Buddha by seeing one's nature', which is what they have in common. We monks, in layman's terms, are dedicated staff to promote Buddhism. Pursuing sentient beings. But for thousands of years, most of this path has been detoured, and temples have become a place for monks to cultivate themselves and seek Buddhahood. Therefore, since Buddhism was introduced to China, there has not been a native Buddha. I bought a few Bodhisattvas. The Buddhas we enshrine are all imported." When Yuan Zhen said this, everyone laughed.Zhu Huaijing felt that Yuanzhen's words were a little insightful, but this person was too mellow and too familiar, so he lost the lofty and ethereal aura of a monk.I feel more and more that this Fang really looks like an actor playing a monk in a movie, and he hasn't removed his makeup at the moment, and his friends in the same crew are talking about it. Zhu Huaijing smiled slightly and said, "Master Yuanzhen, what you said is very reasonable. Buddhism has to enter the secular world to have vitality. I think the reason why Christianity has such a great influence is that it subverts all secular life. But what about Buddhism? Dharma It is Buddhism, and the secular world is the secular world. I often have a strange idea, and I am afraid that I will be disrespectful to the Buddha if I say it. I think if everyone comes to become a monk to practice according to Buddhism, don’t human beings become extinct?” Yuan Zhen laughed out loud, and he became less and less like a monk, and said: "What Director Zhu said is true. But I think we monks renounce the world, just to have a clean body, so that we can preach in front of the world like this It’s good to have an image. It’s like the civil servants in your country who are diligent and thrifty, and are strict with themselves. Not allowing national civil servants to run companies to make money does not mean that all ordinary people are not allowed to run companies to make money. The thoughts of a sage are like a vast ocean, boundless and inclusive. But A mortal's brain is just a pot, and it has a variety of shapes. Take a mortal pot to fill the sea of ​​a saint, even if it can't fit, even if it contains a ladle and a half, the shape of the pot will distort the mind of a saint. According to legend, the Buddha Sakyamuni practiced asceticism for six years in order to achieve great enlightenment, and destroyed his own body. He had to receive milk from a shepherd girl to recuperate before he regained his vitality. Fang Mingyuan and Master Yuanzhen were very casual, and couldn't help joking, "Now let the monks go to nurse, and the world will be in chaos." Yuan Zhen pointed at Fang Mingyuan, shook his head and smiled.Zhu Huaijing didn't understand just now. He didn't know whether Yuanzhen was talking about the shepherd girl feeding Sakyamuni her own milk, or milk from cows or other animals.But I thought to myself that the monks and nuns are in the same temple, who can guarantee that there will be no time for the monk to nurse? After a few jokes, Master Yuanzhen shook his head, as if he was getting deep, and said, "Director Zhu said just now that the relationship between Buddhism and the secular world has some truth. But in another sense, Buddhism is now influenced by the secular world." It's too big. Let's just talk about me. I should practice here quietly, but the government has given me a director-level treatment. What about the treatment? It's a bit uncomfortable to be a director-level, because I'm still the vice chairman of the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce I still don't understand why our Buddhism is assigned to the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Even if it is assigned to the Federation of Industry and Commerce, then I should not be just at the director level, but at the deputy department level. Of course, I don't mean to insist on clarifying my deputy department level , Just to talk about. To say, other places, like my situation, have long been a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC." Fang Mingyuan said: "I can report this issue to Mayor Pi." Yuan Zhen hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Thank you Director Fang. That's not what I meant." But Zhu Huaijing could clearly see that Yuanzhen was actually showing off his director level and wanted to implement the deputy department level treatment.According to the monk's logic, if he really joined the Standing Committee of the CPPCC next time, wouldn't he want to clarify the treatment of the deputy city again?If you become a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC, you may be elected as a director of the National Buddhist Association, and you may even enter the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.If things go on like this, maybe he wants to be the leader of the country one day.The more Zhu Huaijing thought about it, the more amusing it became.He wanted to try Yuan Zhen's thoughts again, so he said, "Master Yuan Zhen doesn't have to be humble. As far as I know, in Chinese history, there is a precedent for the government to confer titles to eminent monks from famous mountains and temples. The abbot of Shaolin Temple was also named a great general by the imperial court." Yuan Zhen just smiled and said this and that vaguely.Now Zhu Huaijing understood Yuan Zhen's heart more clearly. After chatting for a while, the two left.Yuan Zhen and Fang Mingyuan still walked in front, Zhu Huaijing walked in the middle, and the little monk followed.Zhu Huaijing thought that this little monk was walking in front of Yuanzhen, right?It is equivalent to a secretary in the secular world.The lights in front of the Daxiong Palace were brighter, and Zhu Huaijing suddenly found that Yuanzhen's left ear was sunken, like a knife wound.Immediately he remembered the little finger of his left hand, so he guessed that this circle must have been a sinful person who repented and escaped into Buddhism.After leaving the gate of the temple, Fang Mingyuan asked Master Yuanzhen to stop, and Yuanzhen must send the two of them to the car. Before getting into the car, Yuan Zhen shook hands with Zhu Fang and the two of them repeatedly, talking about hard work. Zhu Huaijing felt a little interesting, so he asked about Master Yuanzhen's background.Fang Mingyuan said: "This circle really has some origins. He was originally from the north. When he was a child, he was the most mischievous person in that place. He couldn't sleep well at night if he didn't fight all day. When he was eighteen years old, his head was chopped off. With one knife, someone cut off a section of his finger, and almost went to prison. It is said that he was ordained as a monk when he met an eminent monk who gave him advice. Later, he went to the Buddhist Academy to study Buddhism. Once he said that he is pursuing a Ph.D. right now, which is equivalent to our cadres studying as postgraduates. Don't underestimate him, when you and I were section chiefs, Yuan Zhen had already enjoyed the treatment of the division level." Zhu Huaijing couldn't help laughing after hearing this.He asked again: "You said Yuan is really from the north, why can't you hear the northern accent?" Fang Mingyuan said: "This man is smart, he can learn Jingdu dialect soon, so it will be easier to deal with the benefactors." Zhu Huaijing suddenly thought of Yuan Xiaoqi again.Yuan Xiaoqi is also a mysterious figure, I haven't seen him for a long time, and there is no news about him.I just occasionally heard that he is now traveling around the world, but somehow he still makes money. Not long ago, he returned to his hometown and donated more than 100,000 yuan to the elementary school in his village.Mayor Pi seems to like dealing with experts like Yuan Xiaoqi and Master Yuanzhen. "Hey, Huai Jing, I remembered something. Yuan Xiaoqi is back this time, and I can't find you. Your phone is turned off. Mayor Pi invited him to dinner and wants to invite you to accompany him." When Fang Mingyuan said this suddenly, Zhu Huaijing was really taken aback.It wasn't because he didn't go to Mayor Pi's treat, but because he suddenly felt that there must be some kind of mysterious power in this world that influences people's thinking.He was thinking about Yuan Xiaoqi, why did Fang Mingyuan mention Yuan Xiaoqi?Is there some kind of strange force secretly colluding people's souls, or there is indeed some kind of induction between people.I remember that I was humming some tune silently, but I didn't hum it out loud, and someone sang this song right away.In this way, people's psychological activities can always be felt by others.It's scary to always act from the heart in officialdom, but others can always sense it. "Really? So, China already has Zhang Baosheng, Yan Xin, and Zhang Hongbao. We Jingdu really want to produce a Yuan Xiaoqi?" Zhu Huaijing said. Fang Mingyuan looked over at Zhu Huaijing, and said, "What's the matter? You introduced Yuan Xiaoqi to Mayor Pi. Now, hearing what you mean, you don't seem to take it seriously." "No, no. I'm just discussing the facts." Zhu Huaijing concealed. Entering the downtown area, the eyes are colorful.There is no sound intrusion in the car, but the thick traffic and flattering neon lights still make people feel the hustle and bustle of the city.Zhu Huaijing remembered that when he first came to Jingdu, one day he was in a bad mood and went to Jingshan Temple alone, not to worship or anything, but just to have a quiet time.As soon as he stepped into the Jingshan Mountain where the trees and shadows were scattered, he immediately felt as calm as water.After entering the temple, you can hear the sound of wooden fish and the sound of bells and drums like thunder.He suddenly felt deafened, as if a lifetime away.He lingered in the monastery for a long time that day, and did not go down the mountain until it was dark.After going down the mountain, I could hear the sound of the city, and when I thought of the state of mind I was on the mountain just now, I felt like a lifetime away.But today he was surprised that he just came from that clean place, but he didn't feel anything strange.Maybe it's because we can see that both the monk and the lay world are nothing more than this. The car first sent Zhu Huaijing downstairs to his house.Fang Mingyuan also got out of the car and told the driver to go back first, and he was only a few steps away.Another appointment was made to leave early the next morning.Watching Xiaotian's car turn around and leave, Zhu Huaijing asked Fang Mingyuan to go upstairs and sit down.Fang Mingyuan looked at his watch and said, "I won't sit down anymore. Let's just stand here and talk about something. It's hard to say on the road just now. Piglet has taken a fancy to the land that Longxing Hotel wants. He wants to stay here." A comprehensive entertainment center will be developed there. It is indeed a golden land. Longxing asked you to come forward to find Mayor Pi, so now I have to ask you to come forward and talk to them. The company run by Pijie is called Tianma Company , you just say that the city has already granted this land to Tianma Company, or that Tianma Company has already contacted the plastic factory. Anyway, it is best not to say that Piglet took the land, so as not to affect the effect. Mayor Pi agrees It's okay, but who would believe it?" Zhu Huaijing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm really losing face now. Manager Lei and the manager always think that I, Mr. Zhu, is not only a section chief, but also a celebrity in front of Mayor Pi. Let me handle this matter." , there must be no problem. In the end, it was still in vain." Fang Mingyuan also smiled, as if he was also embarrassed by Zhu Huaijing, and said, "The situation is special!" Zhu Huaijing also smiled, and didn't say anything more, just said ok, I'll go and explain to them.Fang Mingyuan said that this matter was really hard for you, so he went back. Zhu Huaijing went upstairs and opened the door. Xiangmei was still awake and was sitting in the living room watching TV.He came back early today, Xiangmei looked happy and smiled brightly at him.Zhu Huaijing understood the meaning of the woman's smile, and felt uncomfortable.He was getting less and less interested in doing that with his wife.When he first got married with Yuqin, he vowed to himself that he would be worthy of his wife.A wife is a wife and a lover is a lover. This seems to be a very popular way of living today.He hated this attitude towards life a little in his heart, but in fact he wanted to deal with his relationship with the two women in this way.Unexpectedly, now he has lost his passion for his wife.He couldn't express the embarrassment in his heart. Xiangmei poured water for him to wash his face and feet, and then went into the house to get a pair of clean socks for him to put on, and said, "Xiong Keguang from the Jingjing Office of Wu County came here and sent four legged fish. This little bear treats you Always so respectful, do you ask for something?" Zhu Huaijing replied: "Little Xiong is a nice person, and he is flexible in handling things. Well, he doesn't see any personal matters to ask me for, but he must ask me to help with work matters. In the final analysis It's Zhang Tianqi who is so lively. People in Wuxian County who walk in the officialdom, if they say they are promising, I'm afraid Zhang Tianqi will be very promising." Hearing this, Xiangmei had a faint smile on her face.Zhu Huaijing felt speechless, so he asked, "Where is your son?" "My son is asleep. You always go out so early and come back late. I'm afraid my son won't recognize you soon." Xiangmei said. Xiangmei sounded like she was blaming her, but she actually felt sorry for him for working so hard.Of course he understood what his wife was thinking, but he didn't appreciate it.Said: "I'll be with you every day? It's easy. I just resign from the director." Xiangmei's eyes froze for a moment, her face turned pale, and she said, "Don't just keep your mouth shut, you are the Director. What a great official the Director is? The common people joked that if you drop a bomb in any corner of the government compound, at least you can blow it up." Ten directors died. Do you think there is an official with a good image among the common people, don’t you?” Zhu Huaijing became even more angry, and shouted: "Okay, all of us officials are not good people, they are all corrupt officials, and they should be killed. Go and find another good person!" "Did you take the wrong medicine today? Come back well, and I didn't say anything to you, so you just burst into a rage." Xiangmei looked aggrieved, looking like she was about to cry, and went into the room with her head down.Zhu Huaijing seemed to wake up suddenly, and realized that he was really nothing!There was nothing wrong, but there was an argument.Are you in a bad mood?Thinking of being in a bad mood, Zhu Huaijing laughed to himself that he had also fallen into vulgarity.Being in a bad mood has almost become a fashionable disease nowadays. People always say that they are in a bad mood, as if they are annoying whomever they see.He used to hate this the most, and now he can't help it. Zhu Huaijing bit the bullet and went into the room. When he undressed, he was still angry and wanted to sleep elsewhere today.But as soon as he got into bed, he couldn't bear it, so he slipped into Xiangmei's bed. Xiangmei was angry and fell asleep on her back.Zhu Huaijing just didn't want to do that, and he couldn't wish for it.But after lying down for a while, he felt sorry for the woman again and went to grab her shoulder.Xiangmei was stubborn for a while, then turned around.She didn't give him her face, and buried her head deeply in the bed.Zhu Huaijing felt that since he took the initiative to pull her over, even if he had exhausted his benevolence, it was her own responsibility if she lost her temper again.He hugged her very stylized, thinking about other things in his mind. Xiangmei was motionless, wondering if she had fallen asleep.He lost sleep after thinking about it in a mess.My mind was full of strange phantoms.It was dark in the room, but it was clear that there were many people walking around here.The people who walked in front of him were always slowly expanding, and their heads were almost as big as hot air balloons.The burly mayor, wearing a red cassock, sat on the rostrum to give a government work report, full of Amitabha.Mayor Pi was spitting out lotus flowers, and the red cassock turned into an Arabian flying carpet, carrying Mayor Pi floating in the air.Mayor Pi sat cross-legged, clasped his hands, with a kind face, muttering words.At this time, a naughty boy came running, and upon closer inspection, he turned out to be Pijie, the eldest son of Mayor Pi.With a slingshot in his hand, Piglet squinted his eyes and shot a stone at the flying carpet floating in the air. His father fell down with a thud, and was immediately overwhelmed.Piglet laughed wildly for a while, then suddenly his face turned blue, and he held Zhu Huaijing firmly, asking him to pay his father back.Zhu Huaijing was confused, he patted his head and thought, it seemed that he had indeed shot down Mayor Pi with a slingshot just now.Looking down, he saw that the slingshot was right in his hand.Song Daqing came up and handcuffed him.He desperately called Lao Song, it's me!I am Zhu Huaijing!Song Daqing didn't seem to know him at all, he grabbed his collar and stuffed him into the jeep.Just as he was being pushed into the jeep, he saw Mayor Pi standing not far away with his hands behind his back, and told Yan Shangming, the director of the Public Security Bureau, to deal strictly with Zhu Huaijing.Zhu Huaijing yelled desperately, saying, Mayor Pi, I am loyal to you!I have never said a word about you outside.At this moment he seemed to be sitting in Mayor Pi's office again.Mayor Pi had a half-smile, and said, Zhu Huaijing, what shameful thing do I have?I will send you to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection tomorrow on a business trip and sue me.Zhu Huaijing broke out in a cold sweat, not even saying he didn't dare. "What's the matter with you? What's the matter?" Xiangmei shook Zhu Huaijing awake. "What's wrong with me?" Zhu Huaijing woke up, his chest was still thumping, and his back was greasy with sweat. "I know what's wrong with you? Maybe it's a nightmare. You screamed and shouted, so scary." Xiangmei obviously forgot that the couple had a quarrel last night, and she lay tenderly in the man's arms.Zhu Huaijing turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the clock. It was already past six o'clock in the morning.There is no way to sleep anymore, Fang Mingyuan will call later.He was ready to get up.Xiangmei asked him why he got up so early, today is Saturday.He said that he had to accompany Mayor Pi to the countryside today, and Fang Mingyuan would call later. He sat up, feeling dizzy.I woke up and washed my face with cold water, feeling better.Sure enough, the phone rang.As soon as Zhu Huaijing picked it up, it was Fang Mingyuan who said that the car was already downstairs.He hurried downstairs, Fang Mingyuan got out of the car.It was still the Mitsubishi Jeep from yesterday.The two got into the car and drove downstairs to Mayor Pi.Before any house in the mayor's building was lit, they turned off the lights and waited.After a while, another Audi car came and stopped silently.After about twenty minutes, the lights of Mayor Pi's house came on.Fang Mingyuan looked at his watch and said, "Don't worry, they'll come down after washing up." Zhu Huaijing said, "No hurry, no rush. What's the rush? It's not to rush for the exam." Mayor Pi came down with Aunt Wang and Piglet.Zhu and Fang hurriedly got out of the car and went to meet them.Mayor Pi raised his hand and got into the Audi.Piglet closed the car door lightly, turned his head and smiled at Zhu Fang and the two, and said, "I'll take your car."
