Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Mitsubishi Jeep walked ahead.Zhu Huaijing looked at this Audi, the license plate was also very strange.Today this operation is simply an underground activity.The mayor and the deputy mayor are completely different things.When the mayor, in addition to the secretary, there are also guards. When going out, there are police cars to clear the way, but today all this is avoided. Piglet looked very impatient, and said: "This is all caused by the old lady! Why do you worship Buddha properly? My father doesn't go up the mountain, and the old lady calls every two days." Zhu Huaijing could tell that Piglet was covering up for his father.After he had dealt with Piglet, he always felt that this young man was a little idiot.In fact, it is not, very smart!

The sky was not yet clear and there were not many vehicles. We arrived at Jingshan Temple soon.Mayor Pi and his party got off the car at the stone steps under the temple and climbed up on foot.Just halfway up the mountain, Master Yuanzhen had already come down the mountain. "Thank you, Mayor Pi!" Master Yuan Zhen held Mayor Pi's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously. Mayor Pi was very polite to Yuan, shook his hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "Where, this is the land of the Holy Spirit, don't say it's hard work once you come here." Master Yuanzhen hurriedly said: "What Mayor Pi said is true. Pray for the Buddha to be there, and sincerity will bring spirituality."

After the mayor of Tongpi had finished exchanging greetings, Master Yuanzhen turned around and shook hands with the others one by one to say hello.In addition to the little monk from yesterday, there were two young nuns who followed Yuanzhen down the mountain to greet the guests, standing aside politely with their hands clasped together, smiling.Zhu Huaijing pretended to be casual and looked at the two nuns. It was a pity to see that they were both handsome.Zhu Huaijing wanted to look more solemn and told himself not to look at the two nuns too much.But he was secretly imagining what the two nuns would look like if they had full hair.Immediately there were two charming girls in his mind.I couldn't help but went to visit the two nuns again.The nuns just nodded and smiled at him, just like the kind of smiling service that is reluctantly promoted in big shopping malls.At this moment, Mayor Pi was standing with his hips akimbo, chatting with Master Yuanzhen.Mayor Pi was out of breath after climbing for a while.

Mayor Pi said let's go up, and everyone followed him up.After all, Mayor Pi is old and his legs and feet are not flexible. The young people always feel a little shy when they follow behind, and always remind themselves not to climb too fast.Seeing this, Yuanzhen stepped forward to support Mayor Pi.Mayor Pi shook his hand away as if he had been electrocuted.Yuanzhen must have been embarrassed, but he didn't show it.Fang Mingyuan looked at Zhu Huaijing, Zhu Huaijing understood what he meant, but he just pretended not to see anything. The mountain gate was wide open, and there were already some monks and nuns standing on both sides, all with their hands clasped together, but Mayor Pi seemed to have not seen these people, and just walked forward in square steps, just like he usually inspects any place in the city .When everyone saw Mayor Pi going to Foying Spring with his hands behind his back, they all followed suit.At this moment, the temple was so quiet that there was still no sound of water.No one spoke, only Mayor Pi tilted his head for a while with his ears on one side, then hissed and gasped, and sighed: "This spring is really like the light of Buddha, illuminating all living beings without showing any signs."

Yuan Zhen clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha! The mayor's wisdom! Mayor Pi's roots... This, this, according to the common saying, Mayor Pi's wisdom is different. He is destined to be a Buddha!" Mayor Pi smiled and shook his hand, not sure if it was out of modesty or disagreement with Yuanzhen's statement, but the meaning was vague anyway.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Aunt Wang looked more pious, and her steps became more cautious.Entering the Hall of Heavenly Kings, you will see the smiling Maitreya Buddha head-on.Aunt Wang took three incense sticks and lit them, knelt down and bowed three times, saying something in her mouth.I got up, put the incense in the incense burner, took out a new note of fifty yuan, and put it in the merit box.Mayor Pi stood beside him with his hands behind his back, looking around, like a tourist.Piglet also followed his mother's example, lighting incense and bowing.It's just that he was more generous, and he threw a hundred yuan bill into the merit box.The little monk next to him saw him, and he couldn't stop chanting.Fang Mingyuan looked at Zhu Huaijing, and Zhu Huaijing looked at Mayor Pi.Mayor Pi smiled, looking very humane.Fang Mingyuan also lit three incense sticks, knelt down and bowed three times.He only cast a ten-dollar ticket.Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to light incense, knelt down and bowed, and threw money into the merit box.Zhu Huaijing was in his forties, and this was the first time he knelt down.He felt a little funny and wanted to laugh.But he didn't smile, and said silently in his heart: May the Buddha bless me and Yuqin for a lifetime of love.Zhu Huaijing stood up and saw Mayor Pi smiling more kindly.But Mayor Pi did not kneel down, and stood aside with his hands behind his back.

A group of people went to the Daxiong Palace again.Instead of entering the hall, I went to the bell tower.The light is not very bright, and the inscription on the clock can only be seen faintly.Mayor Pi took a closer look, looking very interested.It's all in seal script, which most people can't recognize completely.Yuanzhen read: "In the autumn of the second year of Chunhua, I went to visit Jingshan Temple. At that time, the sun and the moon shine together, and the dragon's face is kind; the frosty sky is thousands of miles away, full of Buddha's light; all living beings are pious, and their merits are immeasurable..."

After hearing these few words, Mayor Pi said yes, not knowing whether he was praising the inscription or telling Yuan Zhen not to read it.Yuan Zhen looked at Mayor Pi and stopped reading.Mayor Pi asked if he could strike the clock?Yuan Zhen said of course it can.Mayor Pi stepped forward, lifted up the hanging wooden stake, and bumped it seven or eight times.The sound of the bell was vast, like smoke and mist, and immediately enveloped the entire mountain temple.The expressions of the people present could not help but become solemn.Listening to the lingering sound, Mayor Pi couldn't help sighing: "Listening to this bell is simply an artistic enjoyment! If you want to talk about Buddhism, aside from the mysterious things, there are still scientific reasons in it. Just talk about this bell. Sound is art. Art can cultivate people’s sentiments! Listening to this shocking bell from time to time, subconsciously, may really purify people’s souls.”

Master Yuanzhen clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha! Great insight! What Mayor Pi said is indeed reasonable. This is similar to the Confucian understanding of art. The Master said: "Three hundred poems, in a word, Said: Thinking is innocent." "It would be great if the people of the whole city could hear the morning bell and evening drum of Jingshan Temple every day." Mayor Pi said thoughtfully as he went down the bell tower. Yuanzhen said: "The morning bell and evening drum in Jingshan Temple were originally one of the ten scenic spots in Jingdu, and they were the most popular among literati. The bell is from the Song Dynasty, and the drum is from the Ming Dynasty. Beating is also not allowed. But this drum is too old, and the cowhide is old, and it can't stand a few hammers."

Mayor Pi asked: "How much will it cost to replace a set of bells and drums?" Yuan really didn't expect Mayor Pi to ask this question, he hesitated for a while, and then said, "Well, I haven't calculated it. I'll ask someone to calculate it and report it to you?" Fang Mingyuan winked at Yuan Zhenan.Yuanzhen understood, and hurriedly said: "Mayor Pi cares so much about our Jingshan Temple, we should practice with all our heart, form good relationships, and make positive contributions to the construction of spiritual civilization in our city. We request the government to allocate funds to reset the clock." Drums, the original bells and drums were moved out of the Bell and Drum Tower and placed on display in a corner of the Daxiong Hall for visitors to visit."

Yuan Zhen always speaks in such a way that both Buddhist and vulgar worlds are a little side by side, Zhu Huaijing finds it very interesting.I thought that this round name should be changed to smooth.Mayor Pi didn't express his opinion immediately, Yuanzhen looked at Mayor Pi nervously.Mayor Pi did not look at anyone and entered the Daxiong Hall.Here is the Buddha Sakyamuni.Aunt Wang burned incense and knelt down again, and the response was like a ceremony.Pi Jie, Fang Mingyuan, Zhu Huaijing and others also bowed down. A group of people just saw the Buddha statue and burned incense until they arrived at Pilu Pavilion.After leaving Pilu Pavilion, Yuan Zhen invited everyone to the living room for tea.The living room is next to the abbot's room and can accommodate a hundred people.It seems that preparations have already been made. Some stools and tea tables have been placed at the entrance, and some fruits have been prepared.Everyone sat down one by one, and several young nuns came over to pour tea and peel fruits.

Zhu Huaijing never understood why these nuns insisted on becoming a monk at such a young age?He took a sip of his tea and found that today's tea was better than last night's.I thought it was not because today's tea was made by a nun.Last night Yuanzhen said that there is no other good tea, only that kind of tea.It seems that the monk didn't bring out the best tea last night.Now monks have also learned to be snobbish and philistine. Everyone drank tea and looked at Mayor Pi.But he didn't say anything, just sipped the tea slowly.After a while, I said: "Good tea, good tea. According to the theory, I don't have anything else at home, but good tea is still available. Why can't I drink this taste?" Zhu Huaijing replied: "Drinking tea is a state of mind." It was inconvenient for everyone to agree with Zhu Huaijing right away, and they just waited for Mayor Pi's statement.Mayor Pi took another sip and said: "What Huai Jing said makes sense. I don't know the Japanese tea ceremony, and I always feel that it is a kind of red tape. It seems that they are also creating an atmosphere, just like what Huai Jing said A state of mind?" Yuan Zhen responded immediately: "It makes sense, it makes sense. According to my experience, the Buddha is a kind of state of mind. The so-called clear mind and nature, the key lies in the heart. The Buddha said that the heart is bright, and everything is bright. When the state of mind is good, what do you do? It just feels better, and it feels better.” Mayor Pi seemed to understand, and nodded slightly.Looking very concerned again, he said to Yuanzhen: "I don't care enough about religious work, you should give more advice. We must implement the party's religious policy to the letter. Every time I come, I listen to it intentionally or unconsciously. You have benefited a lot from your knowledge of Buddhism. I also want to hear your opinions today, so you can talk about them as you like, and Mingyuan and Huaijing can also discuss with Master Yuanzhen. Young people, be more active." Both Fang Mingyuan and Zhu Huaijing said that they did not understand Buddhism, so please listen carefully.Yuanzhen said: "Buddhism is profound and profound, and the Buddhist scriptures are as vast as a sea of ​​smoke. There are twelve Buddhist scriptures, and there are 84,000 practice methods. But it is simple and simple. The famous sixth patriarch of Zen, Huineng, is an illiterate rough man, but he can Become the heir of Zen Buddhism. In fact, I think Buddhism does not teach people to seek gods and immortals, but to seek the true meaning of life in the secular world. Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures say that Buddhism is in the world and cannot be separated from the world. In the past, people had a big misunderstanding about Buddhism, thinking that Buddhism is pessimistic and world-weary. In fact, it is not. What Buddhism advocates is very meaningful to the progress of human society. Even now, it is also very meaningful. For example, Buddhism advocates abandoning evil and doing good, which is beneficial to the improvement of society Law and order is good. Buddhism advocates great compassion without predestined relationship, which means caring and loving people who have nothing to do with oneself. For all things in the world, Buddhism advocates a heart of compassion, against killing and destroying nature. This has something in common with modern environmental protection awareness. Isn’t the whole world paying attention to sustainable development now? If human beings have long followed the teachings of Buddhism In doing things, the living environment of human beings will not be so bad. Also, Buddhism is the most democratic and free. When Sakyamuni was born, the first sentence he said was that the sky and the world are the only ones. I am the only one. This is not to say that Sakyamuni Muni is self-important, and he raised a philosophical question about life. People should be equal, and should not be subdued to others, but self-respecting. Everyone has achieved self-respecting, and the world is not equal? ​​So, This...my words may not be correct, I think Buddhist ideas are also helpful for the construction of democratic politics.” The more Yuan Zhen talked, the more mysterious he became.But everyone saw that Mayor Pi didn't say anything, and it was hard to say anything.But hearing him talk about the construction of democratic politics, Zhu Huaijing had doubts, and said: "Compared with Western religions, I don't quite understand. Christians have bowed their heads before God all their lives, and kept saying God, I am your servant. But It is precisely in such a religious country that a mature democratic political theory has been brewed and a relatively effective democratic regime has been produced. And we have believed in Buddhism for more than two thousand years, as you said, we advocate equality and freedom, but our country is today, feudalism Consciousness is still entrenched!" Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Forgive me for dragging the topic far. However, Director Zhu mentioned this issue, and I would like to discuss it with you. This issue cannot be explained in one sentence. But it must be discussed from the aspect of religious influence. Analysis, I think, is related to the differences between China and the West in terms of religious logic and religious secularization. According to the logic of Christianity, all peoples in the world are the children of God, so everyone is brothers and sisters, and of course they are equal. So Westerners only kneel before God, not mortals—these brothers and sisters. At the same time, Western Christianity covers all secular life. I was inspired by Director Zhu last night. But according to native Chinese In terms of culture, only the emperor is the son of heaven, which is equivalent to the son of God in Christianity. All living beings in the world are the people under the rule of the emperor. To put it bluntly, all people in the world can only be regarded as the grandson of God. Between Lao Tzu and his son Can there be equality at all? In addition, after Buddhism was introduced to China, it did not enter people's secular life like Western Christianity. Therefore, Chinese society has always been dominated by the emperor, the son of heaven, for thousands of years. There is no equality or democracy if the pressure is lowered one level at a time. Culture also has genes, which can be inherited.” Mayor Pi laughed loudly, he couldn't see who he agreed with, but he knew that he was in a good mood.We will not talk about this topic anymore.Zhu Huaijing was afraid that the question he just raised was a taboo, so he paid attention to Mayor Pi's expression.Mayor Pi was sipping tea carefully, with a relaxed expression.Everyone can only drink tea, and the whole living room only has the sound of drinking tea.A few little nuns have been standing by the side, refilling the water at any time.Zhu Huaijing noticed that a little nun suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, presumably she noticed some kind of humor.He remembered that he had dinner at Tianyuan Hotel once, and when he saw the waitress standing aside politely with her hands behind her back, he suddenly thought it was very funny.Because he found that all the guests at the table ate with greasy faces, and each had their own way of eating, the scene was very funny.The waitresses looked at this group of people, but smiled without spouting, they really have the ability.Zhu Huaijing thought that this little nun's practice was not as good as the hotel's service lady. Mayor Pi put down his teacup and said, "We can consider resetting a set of bells and drums." When he said this suddenly, Yuan Zhen didn't realize it. It took him a long time to know and thank Mayor Pi for his concern.Zhu Huaijing thought to himself, talking so thoughtlessly is a typical language habit of senior leaders.They don't care what the people around them are thinking, they just talk according to their own thinking.Sometimes even only a few words are spoken, with vague meanings.The people below have to keep their ears up all the time, ready to listen to instructions. Mayor Pi drank a few sips of tea, and said: "This year is the first tourism year of our city, and Jingshan Park is a key scenic spot. Let Jingshan Temple ring the morning bell and evening drum again, which can add some atmosphere. I have a point of view, tourism should pay attention to cultural content." "Yes, if a city does not pay attention to cultural construction, it will have no future in the long run. Which famous city in the world is not also a cultural city?" Zhu Huaijing said. Mayor Pi nodded, and said to Yuan Zhen, "I'll also talk to the Religious Affairs Bureau, and you should report it yourself, and make a report to the city government through the Religious Affairs Bureau." "Okay, I'll go to the Religious Affairs Bureau today." Yuan Zhen said. Mayor Pi laughed and said, "Master Yuanzhen is very good at handling things! Huai Jing, Mingyuan, as long as our government staff have the style of handling affairs like Master Yuanzhen, our work will be easy to handle." After sitting for a while, Mayor Pi said to go down the mountain.Everyone got up and went down the mountain.It was still Mayor Pi who left, accompanied by Yuan Zhen, and the two beautiful nuns followed behind.After leaving the mountain gate, Mayor Pi said: "Master Yuanzhen, I will talk to the CPPCC about your appointment as a member of the CPPCC Standing Committee. Your prestige in the religious circles of our city is incomparable to others. If you are not elected as a CPPCC Standing Committee member Elected?" Yuan Zhen said thanks, and couldn't help but look back at Zhu Fang and the two of them.Both Zhu and Fang smiled and nodded, meaning congratulations. After descending the stone steps, Mayor Pi shook hands with Yuan Zhen.Yuan Zhen shook hands with Aunt Wang and the others one by one.Mayor Pi asked Aunt Wang and Piglet to go to the Mitsubishi Jeep, and he went to the Audi with Fang Mingyuan and Zhu Huaijing, saying that he had other things to do.Zhu Huaijing didn't know what else to do, so he couldn't ask more questions, so he just got in the car.At this time, tourists have come up the mountain one after another. Mayor Pi said: "This Yuanzhen is quite an authentic monk, and he understands business better than some of our cadres. You see, listening to him say something, he can really say something." Both Fang Mingyuan and Zhu Huaijing agreed, saying that Yuanzhen was willing to study and think about problems.Fang Mingyuan said suddenly again: "I really can't figure it out, so many young nuns, at such a young age, can see through the world of mortals?" Zhu Huaijing thought that Fang Mingyuan had been paying attention to those young nuns as well.Seeing that Mayor Pi was silent, he casually said, "I think many of them are laid-off women workers. They can't find work, but this place is a clean place where they can live comfortably." "Our city has made great achievements in the resettlement of laid-off workers, and has been affirmed by the superiors." Mayor Pi said. When Zhu Huaijing heard this, his face turned red.Mayor Pi's words were actually criticizing him for calling the nun a laid-off female worker.But there is no need to explain, so I can only say: "That's right. The city government has spent a lot of effort in relocating laid-off workers and has developed a set of experience. If it is not like this, the social and political environment of our city will not be so good. " Mayor Pi no longer cared about this topic, and said: "Let's go to Pei Danian's garment company to see. Private enterprises should be strongly supported." Pei Danian's trapeze clothing company is in the south of the city, and they have to drive through the city.Usually, when Mayor Pi goes out, there is a police car in front of him, and the road is unimpeded.It was different today, they had to be patient as they were stuck in traffic all the way.Fang Mingyuan winked at Zhu Huaijing from time to time, looking anxious.Zhu Huaijing understood what he meant, because he was afraid that Mayor Pi would get impatient.Zhu Huaijing's wink in response to him could only be helpless.Without a police car to clear the way, no one's car can enjoy privileges, because no one has an official position carved on his forehead.It can be seen that as long as people leave their social roles, no one is much more advanced than anyone else.Thinking of this, Zhu Huaijing felt a little joy in his heart, as if he had discovered some philosophy of life.On second thought, this is actually the most obvious truth.But it is the most common truth that many people just don't understand.Zhu Huaijing thought over and over in this way, and secretly let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back lazily, with his hands crossed on his lower abdomen, looking calm and composed.The heart is no longer anxious, let Xiaoche dawdle all the way. Mayor Pi was actually not in a hurry. He asked the driver to play music, which was "The Blue Danube".Zhu Huaijing saw that his big fat hand was tapping the handle of the car door gracefully in accordance with the rhythm of the music, but it was not in good rhythm.Mayor Pi doesn't speak, and no one can say anything, just sit around like this.Today's weather is cold without the air conditioner, and stuffy with the air conditioner on. After running for almost an hour, I arrived at the Flying Man Garment Company.Pei Danian was already at the gate of the company.But he didn't pay attention to today's unfamiliar Audi car, and stretched his neck to look into the distance.It wasn't until Mayor Pi got out of the car that he seemed to be taken aback and ran over.At this time, I saw Chen Yan wearing a scarlet jacket and coming out with two male reporters.No matter how colorful this woman's clothes are, she is charming and charming, and she doesn't look vulgar.Mayor Pi hurriedly broke away from Pei Danian's hand, went up to shake hands with Chen Yan, and said, "Xiao Chen, haven't you been waiting for a long time? Today is Sunday, why are you so serious? Why don't you come and play casually, what news?" Chen Yan smiled and said, "This is my job, Mayor!" After shaking hands with Chen Yan, Mayor Pi didn't care about the other two male reporters, so he turned around and went to inspect the workshop accompanied by Pei Danian.Chen Yan greeted Zhu Huaijing and Fang Mingyuan with a smile, and ran to the front to take pictures.With his hands behind his back, Mayor Pi inspected the suit production line and the shirt production line.In front of a beautiful female worker, Mayor Pi stopped and asked, "How do you feel about working here?" The female worker replied: "Not bad." "How many years have you worked here?" Mayor Pi asked again. "More than two years." The female worker replied. Pei Danian interjected, "This is our technical backbone. She used to be a worker in the leather shoe factory in the city, but she was laid off three years ago. Later, we recruited workers and hired her. She did a good job." Mayor Pi became more interested. He extended his thumbs up to the female workers and said, "You have done well, and your choice is correct. The most important thing for employees of our state-owned enterprises to be laid off is to change their outlook on employment. First, don’t think that only having an iron rice bowl is employment; second, don’t think that employment is only when you enter a large state-owned enterprise; third, this... don’t think that employment is only by doing your own old business.” Mayor Pi said, Warmly shake hands with female workers.The female worker seemed a little excited and shy. Mayor Pi walked a few steps and asked Pei Danian: "Among the workers in your factory, how many are laid-off workers?" Pei Danian hurriedly introduced.Mayor Pi stopped, raised his hands, and said, "Your actions deserve great affirmation. Private enterprises must not only become new economic growth points, but also become an important channel for accepting and relocating laid-off workers. It can be done like this He said that private enterprises are the product of the reform of the economic system. At a time when state-owned enterprises are facing greater difficulties, private enterprises should also become reinforcements for the reform of state-owned enterprises. Laid-off workers are not burdens, but precious wealth of the country. They have abundant jobs Experience and skilled labor skills, your private enterprises can use them as ready-made skilled workers, and they are all in their place." Pei Danian nodded naturally. Pei Danian led Mayor Pi and his party to inspect the workshop, and invited everyone to the reception room for tea.Mayor Pi naturally asked some more information, that is to say, to conduct investigation and research.Pei Danian wanted to say a few more words about every question, and reported it in detail as much as possible.But before he finished speaking, Mayor Pi asked a new question.So the general feeling is that Pei Danian was so confused by Mayor Pi's questions one by one that he was actually sweating profusely. Mayor Pi finished the investigation and research, and Pei Danian said: "Mayor Pi, today is Saturday, leaders and comrades should not work at full capacity. I invite you to visit my hometown in the countryside. The conditions there are not good, but the air is good and the environment is good .” Mayor Pi readily agreed, looked at Chen Yan, and said humorously: "From now on, I will also rest, and you will also rest, and you are not allowed to sweep me around with a machine on your shoulders. You too Let's go play." "Yes, yes, I mean to invite everyone to go." Pei Danian was afraid of being rude. Chen Yan looked distressed and said, "We have to go back to do the show." Mayor Pi looked at the two male reporters and said, "Then let the two gentlemen work hard. What do you think?" Mayor Pi opened his mouth. Of course, the two male reporters were embarrassed, and they just said that it was all right, and Chen Yan could go and play. At this time, Pei Danian came over and secretly pulled Zhu Huaijing's sleeve. "What's the matter?" Zhu Huaijing asked.Seeing that Pei Danian was acting mysteriously, Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to tilt his head, only to hear Pei Danian whispering: "Director Zhu, please talk to the reporters, and let them keep the footage of me reporting to the mayor to arrange laid-off workers, and don't delete them. It’s better to let my voice out too.” Zhu Huaijing smiled and asked softly: "There are rules, you..." Pei Danian said: "I know this. Each of them has a suit and a shirt. I put them in the car long ago. In addition, each of them also has a red envelope." "Okay, I see." After Zhu Huaijing finished speaking, he wanted to find Chen Yan, because he was not familiar with the two male reporters.But Chen Yan was talking to Mayor Pi, so it was inconvenient for him to go up and disturb him.At this moment, Mayor Pi smiled and said, "What important matter are you discussing? Is it over?" Pei Danian hurriedly said: "It's okay, let's go." Mayor Pi and Chen Yan walked in front, joking.After leaving the reception room, Mayor Pi's car has already driven to the door. "Xiao Chen, get in my car!" Mayor Pi said.Chen Yan tilted his head and smiled, and got into the car first.Mayor Pi followed.Zhu Huaijing and Fang Mingyuan sat in Pei Danian's car.The two reporters drove back by themselves. Pei Danian looked worried in the car, worried about the news footage.Zhu Huaijing was amused to himself, so he could only comfort him: "Boss Bei is fine, I'll just ask Chen Yan to call them later. I'm not familiar with those two gentlemen, so it's not too good to tell them." Pei Danian seemed embarrassed and said, "No, no, no." Fang Mingyuan felt confused when he heard it, and asked, "What the hell are you two doing? You're talking nonsense." Zhu Huaijing joked, "We are plotting a big conspiracy." Pei Danian's hometown is in the southern suburbs, 30 kilometers south from his garment factory, and he will be there in a while. What kind of country home is this?Literally a villa.Looking from a distance, it is a compound with walls, and a two-story house with a unique design can be vaguely seen inside.When the car arrived at the door, the electronically controlled aluminum alloy gate slowly opened.On one side of the door were tied two big fat wolf dogs, sticking out their tongues, jumping and jumping angrily, as if they could break free from the chains and rush towards them at any time.Seeing these two wolfhounds, Zhu Huaijing thought that Pei Danian was very similar to the kind of person who broke out today.He was most afraid of dogs in his life, so he couldn't help feeling numb for a while, so he said: "Old Bei, go down quickly and ask someone to take the dog away, in case something serious happens." His meaning sounds like he is worried about his skin. The mayor is safe.Pei Danian hurriedly got out of the car and asked someone to take the dog away. "Amazing! Xiao Pei, the big foreign boss is just like you! I have only seen houses with this layout in Qingdao, Weihai, Zhuhai and other places. Is this a German style?" Mayor Pi looked around the whole place. yard, said. Pei Danian said: "Mayor Pi has a sharp eye, and he can tell at a glance. I didn't make a fortune in the early years, and went to the coast to explore the world. I was really jealous when I saw this kind of house on the beach. I wondered who lived here. What? Why should they? I swear that I will own such a house in my life. I am really worthless. I made a few small money and built this house the year before last." Mayor Pi praised: "Good! Little Pei has ambition!" Mayor Pi sighed as if he had lost something as he spoke, "We don't expect to get rich in this life. Admired, he said that being an official is not allowed to make a fortune. I majored in architecture, and to be honest, this is a major that can make a fortune at present. Some of my classmates did not go to sea early, and now they are all big bosses.” Fang Mingyuan said: "Mayor Pi was a top student in college, the chairman of the student union. If he goes to sea, it will be a long time ago!" Fang Mingyuan said this for everyone, but he always looked at Mayor Pi. Mayor Pi waved his hand, expressing his humility, and said: "To be an official, you have to be dedicated, and you have to be willing to sacrifice your own interests." Pei Danian said: "Yes, yes. It is hard work for you to be a leader, and we ordinary people know it well." Chen Yan's demeanor at the moment is that of an innocent girl, as if she is curious about everything, walking around the yard and looking there.Seeing Chen Yan like this, Mayor Pi smiled like a loving father.Zhu Huaijing saw that although the courtyard was large, it was not very harmonious with the house.He couldn't tell whether it was the trees that weren't planted well or the lawn that was too careless. He always felt that something was wrong.He said to Pei Danian: "I suggest you invite a gardener to design this yard for you. The tricks created by experts are different." Pei Danian said: "Yes, that's right, I have planned this for a long time." After speaking, he came over and said softly, "You can talk to Chen Yan now." Zhu Huaijing agreed to Pei Danian, and just wanted to go and talk to Chen Yan, but immediately realized that something was wrong.Because he noticed that Mayor Pi's eyes were always following Chen Yan.If he went over to whisper something to Chen Yan right now, what would Mayor Pi think?He stood on the side far away knowingly, pretending to appreciate the scenery.Pei Danian was so anxious that he couldn't find the toilet, he couldn't help rubbing his hands and stomping his feet.But hindering Mayor Pi, he could only smile. "Mayor Pi, please." Pei Danian saw that Mayor Pi was no longer interested in admiring the garden of his house, so he hurriedly walked in front sideways, leading Mayor Pi and his party into the house. The living room is very large, fully fifty square meters, separated by the screen and the sofa, it looks very layered and not too empty.The tea and fruits had been set up on the coffee table, and the two ladies were dressed in uniforms, standing beside them with their hands behind their backs.Everyone watched Mayor Pi sit down slowly, and then humbly took their seats.The lady immediately came over and poured tea for Mayor Pi. "Little Pei, why don't you see your wife and children?" Mayor Pi asked with concern. Pei Danian replied: "I sent them to the child's grandma's house. The country people have never seen the world, so they are afraid of losing face in front of the mayor!" Mayor Pi shook his head and smiled, saying that Xiao Bei really knew how to joke.Zhu Huaijing drank his tea slowly, as if he was attentively listening to Mayor Pi's funny words, but he was secretly distracted.He thought about the floor of the living room, coffee table, sofa and other furniture in private.The floor looks like imported Canadian boards, and the sofa and coffee table are all mahogany.The foreign wine in the bar cabinet alone is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.No one showed a hint of admiration, they all seemed to have seen too many big scenes.Of course, Zhu Huaijing casually glanced at the living room with an indifferent expression.Mayor Pi talked to everyone for a while, looking a little tired. Pei Danian was careful, and hurriedly said, "Mayor Pi go up and take a rest?" Mayor Pi lazily raised his hand, covered his mouth and yawned, and said, "Okay, let's play cards, and I will stay with you for a while." Zhu Huaijing said: "Mayor Pi has worked really hard." Mayor Pi didn't say anything more, and went upstairs with a lady.Chen Yan glanced at the stairs strangely, and lowered his head to drink tea.Fang Mingyuan said: "Let's play cards." Chen Yan seemed to be shocked, his body trembled slightly, and he said: "Okay, let's play cards." Her hands trembled when she put the teacup. So Zhu Huaijing played against Fang Mingyuan, and Pei Danian played against Chen Yan. They played poker, three for one. "Do you want to play with water?" Pei Danian asked while shuffling the cards. A few people smiled and looked at me and looked at you, and it was hard to say it for a while.Zhu Huaijing didn't want to play with water in his heart, but as if he was afraid of losing face, he said, "Listen to Boss Bei." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Listen to Boss Bei? You have to be shorts. Listen to me, play a smaller game, twenty yuan a game. Now playing cards, it's unbelievable not to play water. And a little bit of face Yes, playing at least half a bucket of water a plate, how can it be like us? Twenty yuan is enough to make your hands tremble. Boss Bei, I made you laugh." Pei Danian shook his head and sighed: "The two directors are really good leaders, they play cards so honestly." Zhu Huaijing couldn't help being humorous, and said, "This is all right, even gambling can be divided into honest and dishonest." There was a roar of laughter. Chen Yan didn't smile very much, but pulled the flesh on both sides of his face abruptly.He didn't finish drawing half of the cards, when he saw the young lady coming downstairs, she still stood by and waited.Chen Yan blushed all of a sudden, her chest swelled high, took a deep breath for a while, and immediately became energetic.Zhu Huaijing secretly saw these scenes in his eyes, thinking that the mayor of this woman Tongpi might have already had a few hands.After playing for a few laps, Chen Yan called the driver and said, "Come and play, I can't play three times and eat one." The driver politely gave way and replaced Chen Yan.Pei Danian looked very apologetic, and said, "Reporter Chen, you can do what you want!" Chen Yan smiled, and walked around behind them, observing the situation.
