Chapter 390: The long-lost Zhang Lao

Chapter 390: The long-lost Zhang Lao

………… Stuffed the letter back into the envelope, raised his head, and happened to meet Lin Ling, who was standing not far away at the moment, shining on Liu Dong's curious look.

After meeting Liu Dong's eyes, Lin Ling turned red and quickly turned her head to avoid it.

"What, are you curious about the content of my letter?" asked Liu Dong with a smile.

"It's ......!" After a little hesitation, Lin Ling nodded quickly. Compared with domestic women, Lin Ling, who has studied abroad since middle school, has a frankness in her temperament and is a little less reserved.

Looking at her appearance, Liu Dong smiled, "Actually, it's not a secret, this letter was sent from my home!"

"Your family, Liu Dong, is your family rural?" Lin Ling said curiously.

"Not bad!"

Looking at Liu Dong nodding, Lin Ling felt a little incredible, according to her original inference, she could establish such a big company as Dongchao Group, and Liu Dong was so young, then he must be like his eldest brother, as well as many young generations in Taiwan-Bay and Hong Kong, with the support of his parents, but it is obvious that Liu Dong's situation is different from what he expected.

Looking at the surprise in Lin Ling's expression, Liu Dong smiled indifferently: "I have nine points of my current achievements, nine points are godsends, and the remaining one point is my own efforts!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Dong didn't care whether Lin Ling understood it or not, so he stood up and returned to his chairman's office.

Of course, Liu Dong, who didn't use the relics Yuanguang, didn't see the deep curiosity in Lin Ling's eyes behind him, as well as a gradually thickened reverence.

After returning to his office, Liu Dong did the first thing. It's to take out a blank sheet of paper from a drawer. Started writing back letters home. Of course, most of his current situation Liu Dong did not write. He just said that he had made a lot of money doing carving, and that he had already bought a house in Quancheng, and that he would take them over to live in when the time came, and then he said that he would go home for the Chinese New Year this year! Before he knew it, Liu Dong had finished writing five sheets of A4 paper. It wasn't until the sixth that Liu Dong stopped writing.

arranged the six pieces of letterhead, and then Liu Dong took out another 50,000 yuan from the mustard seed space. It's not that he doesn't want to take more, it's just more. It was not a surprise but a shock to the parents. In addition, in the mountain village of Liu Dong's hometown, 50,000 yuan is more than enough to build a house. When Liu Dong goes back at the end of the year, take out more money, and explain it to them in person when the time comes.

Now that his parents are only in their early fifties, Liu Dong has enough opportunities to fulfill his filial piety.

After writing the letter, Liu Dong was just about to go to the post office to send it. As a result, his mobile phone rang.

When I took it out, it was an unfamiliar number, and this mobile phone was the one Liu Dong used first, so I instinctively thought that this might be a merchant or auction house who wanted to buy antiques from him. and some people in the gambling stone circle and antique collecting circles who came up to pull relations.

However, under the ghost's mission, Liu Dong did not hang up. Instead, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey, hello, may I ask ...... you?"

As soon as Liu Dong's voice fell, an old laugh sounded in the earpiece, "Hehe, does Liu Dong still remember my old man?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong immediately felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he looked stunned, and said tentatively with a suspicious face: "You are Elder Zhang?"

"Haha, it's rare that you kid still remembers me, and it's not in vain that I helped you with this!"

At this moment, after getting an affirmative answer, Liu Dong's mind immediately came up with the old man Zhang Guobin Zhang who he met at the door when he went to the Quancheng Gambling Stone Conference with Zhou Bin.

This Zhang Lao is the honorary president of the Quancheng Jade Association, the president of the Dongshan Jade Carving Association, a national jade carving master, and has an outstanding reputation in the jade industry, and he also promised to find a qualified jade master for Liu Dong at that time.

It's just that there has been no news for more than two months, and Liu Dong is about to look at this matter in the back of his mind. I didn't expect to receive a call from this old man now.

Suddenly, Liu Dong's heart became a little expectant. And Liu Dong was also deeply glad that he didn't hang up the phone just now, otherwise there would be no chance for this.

"Liu boy, there has been no news from me for more than two months, wait for it!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled bitterly, he was really anxious at the beginning, but then he had too many things to do, and he didn't have time to take care of it, so he put it in his heart for the time being.

"It's okay!" Liu Dong said vaguely.

Old Man Zhang naturally heard the affection in Liu Dong's words, and then smiled: "Liu boy, when you really succeed in apprenticeship, you will know that you have not waited in vain for more than two months!"

"Alright, that's it for now! Are you okay today?"

"It's okay!" Liu Dong said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, now you immediately come to the intersection of Jingfu Expressway on Shilu Road, I'll wait for you here! Don't forget!" Finally, after Old Man Zhang instructed Liu Dong again, he hung up the phone.

From the old man's last tone, Liu Dong understood the importance of this matter, and after hanging up the phone, he prepared to go out. However, the letter and 50,000 yuan in his hand must also be sent back to his family.

Thinking of this, Liu Dong came to Lin Ling's office, "This letter, as well as this money, you send it back according to this address!"

"I know, Dong Liu!" Lin Ling hurriedly stood up and said.

"Well, I may be out of the company these days, and if there is something urgent, call me. Phone number, Director Wu, have told you!"

"Two mobile phone numbers, Director Wu has sued me!" Lin Ling nodded.

"Okay, you're busy! After you get back the invoice for the money sent to the letter, find the financial reimbursement!" After saying that, Liu Dong turned around and went out.

And seeing him go out, Lin Ling's heart sighed with relief. After sitting down, looking at the envelope on the table and the five stacks of money, I couldn't help but be secretly curious, but I didn't have the courage to open it.

"What kind of person is he? Owning such a big company at such a young age is much more powerful than his father!" Holding her cheeks, Lin Ling said curiously.

…………

Not to mention Lin Ling's various conjectures about Liu Dong, after going downstairs, Liu Dong drove his Land Rover car and went straight to the intersection of Jingshi Road and Jingfu Expressway, which is better with Zhang Laoyue.

Jingshi Road is a major artery in the center of Quancheng, running through the entire Quancheng City, the traffic is very convenient, Liu Dong spent half an hour to arrive at the agreed place, and soon saw a black Santana car parked on the side of the road.

After making a phone call, it was determined that the black sedan was indeed Mr. Zhang's car. Subsequently, after the two communicated for a while, Zhang Lao's Santana took the lead, Liu Dong drove behind, and the group, two cars, drove along the asphalt road that turned to the Jingfu Expressway, and then drove south quickly along the Jingfu Expressway.

Because Zhang Lao didn't say much, Liu Dong didn't know where he was going, so he could only drive behind.

Then, more than half an hour later, the two cars got off the highway, and from the more and more propaganda slogans about Mount Tai and Lingyan Temple on the side of the road, Liu Dong almost understood where they had come.

After the two cars drove for a while, they had to slow down, because there were more and more vehicles next to them, and many of them were traveling to Lingyan Temple.

Lingyan Temple, located in the northwest of Taishan Mountain, is now an important part of the world's natural and cultural heritage Mount Tai. Lingyan Temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, began to rebuild in the first year of Emperor Zhengxing of the Northern Wei Dynasty, reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and had landscapes such as the Tower of the Branch, the Thousand Buddha Palace. Lingyan Temple has rich Buddhist heritage, since the Tang Dynasty, it has been called the "four famous temples" in the world together with Nan-Jingqixia Temple, Zhejiang-Jiangtian-Taiguoqing Temple, Lake-Beijiang-Lingyuquan Temple.

In particular, the painted Arhat statue of the Song Dynasty in Lingyan Temple was called "the first famous sculpture in the sea" by Liang Qichao!

For this famous Buddhist temple, Liu Dong has long had the intention to come here and further improve his relics, but the temple is far away from Quancheng, and he has a lot of things, so he has not made the trip.

"Huh!" Seeing that Zhang Lao's car did not continue to move along the road, but turned to the fork in the road. After driving for a while, it stopped in front of an upward junction.

Seeing this, Liu Dong naturally stopped and walked down.

"Elder Zhang!"

After Zhang Guobin nodded, he said to Liu Dong: "Xiaodong, we can't drive any further, we have to climb up by ourselves!"

"Old Zhang, why don't I carry you, the mountain road is quite steep!" Liu Dong looked at the mountain road in front of him, which was about two meters wide, paved with rough bluestone slabs, winding upward, and there was no end in sight, and said to the old man.

"No, my old man can still walk, let the calf help me walk for a while!" The calf in the old man's mouth was a middle-aged man in his thirties who was supporting him next to him. It seems that it should be a character like Mr. Zhang's bodyguard.

"That's okay, let's go slower!" After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong didn't force it.

Then the group locked the car and climbed up the mountain road.

After walking for a while, Liu Dong found that the old man's legs and feet were indeed quite good, and he was an old man, and after climbing more than 100 meters, he did not show fatigue. Not enough years to forgive, and when he went up to 300 meters, the old man couldn't climb anymore. In the end, in order to save time, Zhang Lao did not refuse Liu Dong and let him continue to walk up on his back.

As for why it wasn't the middle-aged man next to Zhang Lao, it was very simple, more than three hundred meters later, when he began to gasp for breath, only Liu Dong still looked as usual, as if he had just walked not a three-hundred-meter mountain road, but only three steps. The strong body makes the middle-aged man Zhang and the middle-aged man surnamed Niu look sideways!
