Chapter 516: Kindness but No Retribution
readx; In fact, although Zhang Tongxun is a ministerial-level governor with real power, especially when he is in his early fifties, there is still a great chance to go up, and most of the people present are the children of cadres at the department level, but this is not Jiangdong after all, and these gentlemen are the head snakes. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if this matter is left in Jiangdong, Zhang Yisong's slap is not even just the face of that guy alone, but everyone else is put into it, Zhang Yisong's basket is actually not small.
If Qin Mubei hadn't expressed his stance on Zhang Yisong's side at that time, the local officials in Shenpu would definitely find awkwardness for Zhang Yisong, even if they didn't dare to do it on the surface, there would be no less in secret. And when Qin Mubei made it clear that he stood side by side with Zhang Yisong, those people really had to weigh it carefully, not to mention them, even if the son of the secretary of the Shenpu Municipal Party Committee was here, I am afraid that he would not dare to easily offend the two positions of Jiangdong Governor and Hangnan Provincial Party Secretary represented by Zhang Yisong and Qin Mubei. That guy's slap completely stopped after Qin Mubei's seemingly understatement, and he couldn't give birth to the slightest sense of revenge.
Zhang Yisong may not understand this much, but Shi Lei knows it, and because of this, he and Qin Mubei have a little more peculiar feeling since they first met, or in other words, Shi Lei, who has been in love with a girl for the first time in his life since the death of his parents, is a pity that his family background is too poor, and he has a heart but is weak.
Zhang Yisong took the little star, and Shi Lei whispered "thank you" to Qin Mubei, and Qin Mubei also smiled shallowly. Knowing that Shi Lei couldn't ride a horse, Qin Mubei didn't have much intention of riding a horse that day, but he still went to change his breeches and riding boots, wearing a small round hat for horse riding, standing in front of Shi Lei very sassily, and pulling Shi Lei to teach him to ride a horse.
Of course, he can't teach it for a day, and Qin Mubei's demeanor has completely convinced Zhang Yisong, an absolute thorn, Zhang Yisong, who has never put the children of other cadres in his eyes, also looks like a little brother in front of Qin Mubei. That's all for later. In short, this is how Shi Lei met Qin Mubei, and in the following days, although it was not often, he would get together almost every week, Qin Mubei not only taught him to ride a horse, but also taught him a lot of things in the shopping mall, which led to the result that after Shi Lei and Zhang Yisong entered Beijing, Shi Lei helped several princes in the capital to take care of their industries together, and later was called the first gang in the capital.
All this, for Shi Lei, is definitely like a thing of the past, but for Qin Mubei, it has never happened at all. Qin Mubei just said a simple sentence of "the horse is riding well", but he didn't know that this evoked many memories of Shi Lei's past. Shi Lei still remembers what it was like to ride around the horse farm and staggered by Qin Mubei when he rode around the racecourse, and his heart moved wonderfully. And Qin Mubei, who changed into breeches and riding boots and wore a round hat, gave Shi Lei a greater shock, Qin Mubei, who seemed to be weak, was so heroic and sassy after wearing a horse riding clothes. Almost this short period of about half an hour, the comparison between before and after made Shi Lei already know how firm Qin Mubei's heart was under his weak appearance. These two temperaments, which were originally unrelated, complemented each other in Qin Mubei.
"Why don't you speak." Seeing that Shi Lei bowed his head and was silent, Qin Mubei asked after a while.
Shi Lei woke up from his memories, raised his head and smiled: "I remembered what happened when the two of us first met." Shi Lei was telling the truth, but Qin Mubei thought he was talking about the first call.
"I rarely go straight to the name without being sure enough."
Shi Lei was slightly stunned, and then reacted, Qin Mubei said that in the first phone call between the two of them in this life, after Shi Lei dialed it, Qin Mubei said lightly about "Shi Lei".
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to feel so familiar, very strange, as if I suddenly knew a lot about you. Remember what I said to you at the end of that phone call? ”
Qin Mubei nodded and didn't speak, but obviously remembered Shi Lei's gentle advice before the end of the call: Drink a glass of red wine and sleep well. - Hehe, that's weird.
"Go get some red wine." This should be a question, but it obviously doesn't really need Shi Lei's answer.
"There's a winery here, right?" Shi Lei remembered what Qin Mubei said again, there is a winery not far from here.
"Well, I invested some, a quiet place."
Then you don't need to say anything more, just go straight to it. The two returned along the same road, because they had to drink, Shi Lei was inconvenient to drive, so they sat in Qin Mubei's Dodge Ram, is there a driver.
Sitting in the car, Shi Lei suddenly felt very interesting, even in Europe, Qin Mubei actually liked this car very much, it seems that some habits are really difficult to change.
"I also have this car in China." Shi Lei said.
Qin Mubei nodded: "I know." ”
"Hmm...... How do you know? Shi Lei suddenly felt very interesting, although he bought the car according to Qin Mubei's habits, but Qin Mubei had no reason to know this.
It seemed that he also felt that he had lost his words, Qin Mubei simply smiled happily: "Actually, I have been back in the past two years, and I always have to go back to visit my parents." Because it is close, there is a stay in Wudong. I didn't tell you, the time is relatively tight, and if you meet, I'm afraid it will be like now, and I feel like the conversation will never end. ”
Shi Lei turned his body slightly and looked directly at Qin Mubei, Qin Mubei also met Shi Lei's gaze frankly, and there was a bit of a smile in the eyes of both of them.
"Our characters are a bit ......," Shi Lei touched his nose, "Usually boys secretly go to see girls." ”
Qin Mubei nodded: "My style of doing things is often very masculine. Why don't you come to Holland to peek at me? ”
"I thought about it, I even bought a plane ticket to Amsterdam, and the visa was done, but every time in the last few hours, I was timid again. It's weird, especially like a girl's set. ”
"Oh...... Today is a very man, riding a white horse, and he really thinks of himself as a prince. ”
"The prince doesn't dare, but it's certainly good that you're a princess."
"Well, when I was a child, my mother was still there, and she also said that I was a princess." The corners of Qin Mubei's eyes rose slightly, not sad because of his deceased mother, but shallow sweetness.
Shi Lei's heart moved slightly, even if it was two lifetimes, he would still be moved by Qin Mubei's always peaceful demeanor. It wasn't impulsive, but he slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Mubei's little hand on his knee, and held it so gently in his palm, not light or heavy, just holding it.
Qin Mubei didn't have any resistance, as if it was a common thing to be held by Shi Lei, sometimes, the tacit understanding between men and women is a thing that cannot be put into words.
The two of them fell silent in unison, and ended looking at each other, and moved a little bit to each other's side with great tacit understanding, leaning their shoulders together, holding their hands all the time, and gently falling on Qin Mubei's thighs.
Through a layer of slightly rough cotton cloth, Shi Lei can still feel the softness from Qin Mubei's thighs, or not so much to feel the softness of his thighs, but to say that his heart has softened, with a little warmth.
The winery is not far away, more than ten kilometers away, a vineyard of 50 hectares, surrounded by no high walls and no gates, except for a small house at the entrance of the cellar.
The Dodge Ram stopped at the gate, and Shi Lei and Qin Mubei kept holding hands and got out of the car, holding them tighter. Then the two stood at the door of the house, looked at each other and smiled, like a couple who had been in love for many years but were still sweet, holding hands and walking up the steps together.
Knocking on the door, it was a French man in his fifties whose clothes were even stained with red wine, and when he saw Shi Lei and Qin Mubei, he was obviously stunned, like a winery that is not too big in scale, and few people usually visit it.
"You're Henry, I'm ......" As soon as Qin Mubei spoke, the French man with glasses immediately grinned with a smile: "You are Qin!" I can hear you. ”
Obviously, this man was extremely happy about Qin Mubei's arrival, and he obviously hadn't seen Qin Mubei before. Having explained their intentions at once, Henry immediately led them to the vineyard, where there was a small pavilion that seemed to be used for wine tasting, surrounded by lush trellises of grapes that had not yet borne fruit.
"I'm going to get you some wine, and the bacon I made myself, it tastes good." Henry turned away, still looking excited.
"I'm afraid there is a story about this winery, right? I think that Henry seems to be grateful to you. ”
Qin Mubei smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, Henry's wife is not in good health, and Henry has been taking care of this winery can only be said to be average, and there is not much money to spare, but his wife needs to have a major kidney replacement surgery, and the operation is very expensive, beyond his affordability." He decided to sell the winery, but the location was not good, and the winery had not been very good, and those people knew that he was in a hurry to use the money, so they kept the price very low, basically enough for him to operate on his wife. ”
There is no need to say any more, Qin Mubei did shut up, and Shi Lei already knew the whole ins and outs of the story. Qin Mubei definitely did not buy Henry's winery, but injected capital into him, took away some of the shares, and continued to let Henry take care of the winery, and the money given to Henry would not be too much, but it would be enough for his wife to change her kidney. That's why Henry is so grateful to her, Qin Mubei's approach allowed Henry to cure his wife's illness without losing the winery he had run for a lifetime, even if it was not a very good winery.
Helping others but not trying to repay is probably the best way
