Lei Huanxi had just left Secretary Zuo's office and found that Pang Jinhua, the new leader of the leading group, was already waiting for him there.

As soon as he saw Lei Huanxi come out, Pang Jinhua revealed a politeness, and hurriedly took two steps to shake Lei Huanxi's hand: "General Manager Lei, hello." ”

A thunder boss was actually telling him that he was no longer the village chief of Xiantao Village.

"Hello, old Pang. Lei Huanxi also smiled and shook his hand.

Pang Jinhua was obviously stunned.

Lao Pang?

He actually called himself Lao Pang?

What kind of occasion is this called?

Between colleagues, superiors can only be called that when they are subordinate to their subordinates.

He should call himself a "leader" or "team leader" in his life.

But if you think about it carefully, everyone is no longer the village chief, and how you love to call each other is your own business.

Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Pang Jinhua still tried his best to maintain his politeness to the former village head of Xiantao Village: "Mr. Lei, I have heard of you for a long time, the famous Asian Games champion, Zhunan Town and even the entire Yundong City, have made their own great contributions to the development of Xiantao Village." I know you're feeling a little unhappy at the moment......"

"I don't have any displeasure in my heart, old Pang. Lei Huanxi interrupted the other party with a smile still on his face: "Although everyone says don't treat the village chief as a cadre, but we all know that the village chief is a government official who can't be smaller, not only is it difficult to do work, but everything depends on the face of the superior, and the salary is only a pitiful few." But what about me, the general manager? That's different, I have the final say on everything in the company, and I make a lot of money. If it weren't for the leader's trust, who would want to be the head of this village? Now, Lao Pang, you're here, and this burden on me can be taken off. ”

How did Pang Jinhua hear this, and how did he think it was not a taste.

What does this mean? It seems that Lei Huanxi didn't want to do this position for a long time, and he just picked up a piece of rags.

Since pulling on Jiang Shengli's relationship. Pang Jinhua was complacent, and regarded this as the best springboard for his career and money, but at this time, listening to Lei Huanxi, this position was not worth any money at all.

The enthusiasm that was originally full has suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Shengli once warned himself again and again that Lei Huanxi was a very difficult person to deal with, and he was quite unimpressed when he heard this, a hairy young man, what is there to fear?

But this is the first encounter. But he made himself very unpleasant.

But as a "leading comrade", his demeanor must still be maintained, so Pang Jinhua has been trying his best to keep his smile.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, Lei Huanxi said with a smile: "Lao Pang, things in Xiantao Village seem simple, and the difficulties in it are not for outsiders, Lao Pang, I hope you can live smoothly in Xiantao Village." I'm too busy there. Good bye. ”

Just go, without the slightest bit of mud and water.

Only Pang Jinhua was left alone, looking at Lei Huanxi's back......

……

Blue Water and Blue Sky Hotel.

Qiao Yuanfan slowly walked into the suburbs. A casual five-star hotel.

He took a deep breath.

It's been 6 hours since the Kusano Bukawa plane landed, so this former disciple of himself should be here, right?

There is always a need to meet those who should meet, and there is nothing to hide.

I came to the front desk in the lobby and asked for the room number of Tomie Kusano.

"Is that Mr. Joe?" Mr. Kusano has specifically instructed that if you come, you can tell you his room number. ”

Qiao Yuanfan smiled. Is Tomie Kusano so sure he'll come?

Found the single-family villa, Qiao Yuanfan gently pressed the doorbell.

He found that his mood was so calm at this time.

What should come is always coming, isn't it?

In less than ten seconds, the door opened.

That familiar but unfamiliar face reappeared in front of me after 33 years.

Kusano Tomie.

But is this really Kusano Tomie?

His hair was completely white, and his face was as old as if he was dying.

He was his own apprentice. But in fact, he is older than himself, but he is not a few years older, and now he is so old?

And to describe it as withered, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a lonely old man who was down.

"Teacher, you're here. As soon as he saw Qiao Yuanfan, Kusano Tomie's face immediately showed excitement, and even his lips began to tremble.

He bowed deeply to Qiao Yuanfan: "Teacher, it's been 33 years, Tomie hasn't done a day of filial piety by your side, I am not a competent student, I beg the teacher's forgiveness." ”

Qiao Yuanfan smiled faintly: "I have never accepted you as a student, so how can I say that teachers and students are filial." ”

"But the teacher will always be my teacher. Kusano Tomie's expression did not show any slackness: "Teacher, please." ”

He stepped over, still in a half-bowed position.

Qiao Yuanfan was not polite and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a young man under the age of 30 standing there as respectfully as Tomie Kusano.

"Teacher, let me introduce you, he is my apprentice Ishida Sakichi, 28 years old this year. I met him by chance 20 years ago, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I accepted him as a student. It is really disrespectful for me to accept students without your permission, and I ask for the teacher's forgiveness. ”

Qiao Yuanfan smiled: "What age is this, do you still need the teacher's permission to accept a student? But I think your student has a lot of aura between his eyebrows. ”

"Hello, Master. Ishida Sakichi also bowed very politely.

Kusano Tomie said calmly: "Tomie doesn't care what the world has become, but you are my forever respectable teacher. Teacher, you may be seated. This student of mine is indeed very aura, and it can even be said that his qualifications are above mine. And he also has a good tea ceremony. Ishida, show me your tea ceremony in front of my master. ”

Qiao Yuanfan was not polite, and sat down: "Caoye, how have you been doing all these years?"

"The students are still obsessed with orchids over the years, and they have gained a lot. If the teacher is the first in the world, then the student is now the second in the world. ”

When Kusano Tomie said this, he was not humble at all.

In his mind, Qiao Yuanfan is still the number one in the world, but he does not shy away from being the second in the world at all.

Then he asked, "How has the teacher been doing all these years?"

He was only obsessed with orchids, and he had no idea what was going on in the outside world.

"Well, it's not good. Qiao Yuanfan didn't hide anything, and carefully told him about his ups and downs over the years.

Kusano Fujian sighed when he heard it: "The teacher is married, and he has a child, he was stolen, and he got it back, this is really a legend." So, that means I have a junior brother?"

"Yes. ”

Qiao Yuanfan talked to him eloquently, how he looked for his son over the years, and how he would reunite with his son and wife if he divorced his wife.

But the more Tomie Kusano listened, the more strange it became. Subconsciously looked at the time, it has been more than an hour since the teacher came here, but the teacher only talked about the trivial things in life, and did not talk about anything related to orchids, this is definitely not the teacher's style in the past?

In his imagination, the teacher should always be the person who is as obsessed with orchids as himself, and as for what gets married or not, it is simply insignificant to them.

But the teacher is too attached to the family.

After hearing this, Kusano Tomie finally couldn't help but say: "Teacher, in the past 33 years, I have finally cultivated the Dragon King Orchid. ”

Originally, he imagined that when the teacher heard the news, he must have been shocked, disbelieving, and then ecstatic.

But Qiao Yuanfan heard it, but it was just a faint "oh".

Is that all?

Kusano Tomie was a little at a loss, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "Teacher, it's Dragon King Lan!"

"I know, Dragon King Lan. Qiao Yuanfan smiled and said: "Although the Dragon King Lan only exists in the legend, there are two people in this world, one is you and the other is me. ”

Kusano Tomie suddenly realized: "Has the teacher also succeeded in training?"

"Me?" Qiao Yuanfan laughed: "I haven't touched an orchid for 23 years, how can I cultivate a dragon king orchid?"

"What?" Tomie Kusano stood up suddenly, completely incredulous: "The teacher hasn't touched an orchid in 23 years?"

Qiao Yuanfan nodded very seriously: "Yes, 23 years." For the past 23 years, I have been looking for my son, and I have always thought that it was my obsession with orchids that caused me to lose my son, so I never touched an orchid again. ”

Kusano Tomie's whole body trembled, and he was almost about to fall, but Ishida Sakichi beside him hurriedly supported his teacher: "Teacher, take care." ”

Kusano Tomie pushed him away, looked at Qiao Yuanfan with great disappointment and said: "Teacher, how can you be like this? For 33 years, for 33 years, I gave up a qiē just to cultivate the Dragon King Orchid to be able to defeat you, but you haven't touched an orchid for 23 years? Teacher, what about your pride back then? What about your domineering back then? When you tore up my orchid, that spirit is still in my heart even after many years, you are my idol for life." In the past 33 years, I have been thinking about how to defeat you all the time, but you don't raise orchids anymore? Looking at the world, who is still my opponent? But even if I become the number one in the world, if I have not defeated you, what kind of world number one am I? Are you just doing this for a child?"

"This child is my son, and you probably won't understand the importance of children. After Qiao Yuanfan finished saying this, he calmly added:

"But you still can't be called the number one in the world!" (To be continued......)
