Chapter 13: Liu Zhong
As soon as Nie Yun's words came out, Tian Tian beside him was immediately stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Tian's pretty face turned red all of a sudden.
Obviously, Tian Tian could see that Nie Yun attached great importance to this old golden cinnamon, otherwise he would not have tried every means to let Zhou Lao transfer it to him. However, after Zhou Lao proposed a price of 3,000 yuan, Nie Yun resolutely refused, the reason was because the money in Nie Yun's hand was for his own living expenses!
This is equivalent to saying that although Nie Yun values this old golden cinnamon, he values Tian Tian even more!
Of course, a bonsai plant naturally cannot be more noble than a person, but after all, Nie Yun and Tian Tian were just childhood neighbors and playmates, and now although they meet again, they are only friends at most. For the sake of a childhood friend, he resolutely rejected Zhou Lao's offer, which is enough to show that in Nie Yun's heart, Tian Tian's status is more important.
"Little uncle, I don't want to ...... your money"
Subconsciously, Tian Tian wanted to reject Nie Yun.
"Okay, young man, a thousand yuan, this old golden cinnamon, you take it!"
Without waiting for Tian Tian to finish speaking, Zhou Lao's voice sounded steeply.
"Young man, your name is Nie Yun? I see that you are also a person of affection and righteousness. You and this classmate shouldn't be a real uncle-nephew relationship, right? Old Zhou asked Nie Yun.
"Yes, my hometown is in the same village as hers, her family and my grandfather's family are old neighbors, and she has called me uncle since she was a child." Nie Yun replied truthfully.
Zhou Lao nodded, and turned his head to look at Tian Tian again, "This classmate, I recognize you, you are Tian Tian, the talented girl of our college, you could have chosen a better school during the college entrance examination, but in the end you came to our college, this academic year, you are also among the best in your studies, and you also won a first-class scholarship, right?" Your family situation, I also know some ......"
Tian Tian's face was slightly red, she didn't speak, she was praised by the always strict Zhou Lao, and the little girl was also a little happy in her heart.
"Young man, let's pay with one hand and deliver with the other?" Zhou Lao didn't say anything to Tian Tian, and said to Nie Yun again.
"Good!"
Nie Yun had already prepared the money, quickly counted out ten hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to Zhou Lao's hands respectfully. This pot of diseased old golden cinnamon on the ground already belonged to Nie Yun.
took the money, but Zhou Lao didn't put it in his pocket, but took two steps towards Tian Tian and put the money in Tian Tian's hand: "Classmate Tian Tian, since Nie Yun's little brother can generously support his neighbors, how can I, as a professor of the College of Agriculture, sit idly by and ignore our classmates with family difficulties?" Where am I embarrassed to put this money back in my pocket, you take it. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to my office and come to me, old man! ”
"Old Zhou, this ......" Tian Tian was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Old Zhou had accepted Nie Yun's money and actually handed it over to himself, and he subconsciously wanted to resign.
"Take it obediently, don't push and mumble, so many classmates are watching it, making people laugh!" Old Zhou's face was blank, and he said in a low voice. Perhaps because of Zhou Lao's usual prestige, Zhou Lao's face was uplifted, and Tian Tian immediately didn't dare to refuse, so he had to take the money obediently.
"Old man Zhou is noble, and the younger generation admires him!"
Old Zhou's performance had already convinced Nie Yun.
"Hehe, we who love flowers, we are all commensurate with flower friends, don't mention anything about the seniors and juniors. Besides, I am Teacher Tian Tian, you are her uncle, and we are also equals. I'll call you a little brother. This old golden cinnamon, I hope the little brother can try his best to save it! Old Zhou took one last look at the old golden cinnamon and said with a light sigh.
"Do your best!" Nie Yun said.
This old golden cinnamon is not just a fine bonsai.
Similarly, this is also an opportunity for Nie Yun to step into the world of flower bonsai!
After saving this old golden cinnamon, Nie Yun could not only get a lot of benefits, but also be able to confirm that his Lingmu Pupil could indeed help cultivate flower bonsai. In addition, you can also get acquainted with industry seniors like Zhou Lao through this old golden cinnamon, which is very important to Nie Yun.
Treating this old golden cinnamon is the crucial first step that Nie Yun has taken!
At this moment, the surrounding agricultural college students were like a dream when they saw that things ended like this, and they couldn't believe it. That Nie Yun actually "snatched" this old golden cinnamon from Professor Zhou's hands, and he also impressed Professor Zhou. If an experienced senior in the flower bonsai industry did this, it might not be much, but Nie Yun, a young man in his twenties, could do this, which is enough to show Nie Yun's strength......
When it was time for class, the students dispersed.
gave the remaining 2,000 yuan to Tian Tian, Tian Tian was resolute not to, Nie Yun put on an elder shelf, saying that the money was given to Tian Tian by his parents, and it was borrowed from her, and she would have to pay it back in the future, so Tian Tian accepted it. However, Tian Tian asked Nie Yun to bring the money back to his hometown to improve the lives of Uncle Tian and his sister Tian Zhen, she had a first-class scholarship of 1,200 and a thousand yuan from Zhou Lao, which was enough to live.
In the end, Nie Yun still couldn't beat the little girl, and the money was left in his hands.
When class time came, Tian Tian said goodbye to Nie Yun and went upstairs to do experiments......
Old Zhou had something to do, so he left first, and the two boys helped Nie Yun move Lao Jingui to the car. The large space in the back of the Hummer showed its advantage at the moment, and there was no problem in letting go of this old golden cinnamon.
It's really not good, the roof of the car can be removed at all, even if it is a large bonsai three or four meters high, there is no problem.
After thanking the two boys, Nie Yun got into the car, started the car, and drove out of the campus.
Although he got this old golden cinnamon, but how to take care of this old golden cinnamon, Nie Yun did not have a definite method at present, so he could only pull it to his hometown in the countryside first, and then think about it in the long run. Fortunately, the flower has been tossed for two months, and it is not bad for these two days.
"Go home first, talk to your parents, and then leave for your hometown immediately!"
Nie Yun said secretly in his heart.
So many things have happened, especially his girlfriend's love change, which is not a small blow to Nie Yun, in this case, Nie Yun wants to go to the countryside to recuperate for a period of time, and Nie's father and mother will definitely not object.
"Jingle Bell ......"
And just as Nie Yun was thinking in his heart, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he took out the mobile phone casually to see that it was actually Liu Junwei calling.
"Weizi, what's the matter? It's only been less than a day and you regret it? Want to get your car back? Answering the phone, Nie Yun said directly.
"Che, is your brother such a person? Even if you regret it, you will resolutely refuse to admit it, slap your swollen face and become fat, and at most you will be distressed and unable to sleep at night! Liu Junwei's voice came, "Okay, no kidding, my dad is not busy today, he may be free in the afternoon, you come over and have a meal together!" ”
"Uncle Liu has time?" Nie Yun's thoughts turned.
"Okay, I'll go over at five o'clock in the afternoon!" Nie Yun said and hung up the phone.
Liu Junwei let himself go to Liu's house, what he had in mind, Nie Yun was clear.
It is nothing more than to let himself meet Liu Zhong and let Liu Zhong find a way to arrange his own work. Not to mention anything else, with Liu Zhong's words, Nie Yun wants to take the civil service exam again, so it is naturally simple.
His brother's intentions, Nie Yun naturally understood. Liu Zhong is a decent person, and he hates those phenomena of running relationships and going behind, but for Nie Yun, Liu Junwei did not hesitate to be scolded by his father and resolutely helped Nie Yun, this friendship, Nie Yun is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
However, now Nie Yun already has his own ideas, and Nie Yun is not ready to go on the road of civil service politics, and Nie Yun at this time is already determined to engage in flower bonsai. Under this premise, if you go to meet Liu Zhong by yourself, it is nothing more than to go to see the elders, and there is nothing to ......
made a phone call home and told his parents that he would not go home for dinner at night and would go to Liu Junwei's house, and then Nie Yun drove to the largest book city in the provincial capital.
After spending an afternoon in the book city, he selected seven or eight professional books on flower bonsai cultivation, and saw that the time was almost up, Nie Yun paid the money, left the book city, and drove to the compound of the provincial party committee.
Although he was driving Liu Junwei's car, when he arrived at the gate of the provincial party committee compound, Nie Yun was still stopped by the guards and made a phone call to Liu's house before registering and letting go.
Liu Junwei's Nie Yun didn't come once, he drove around twice, and Nie Yun parked the car in front of a small courtyard.
The gate of the small courtyard was open, and Nie Yunjing walked in.
The small courtyard is not too big, Nie Yun walked in, and saw that in the courtyard, there were rows of exquisite wooden frames, and on top of the wooden frames, there were some huge flower pots, among the flower pots, or arborvitae, or Hua pine, or old elm, or boxwood...... It turned out to be a pot of old pile bonsai. These bonsai, the shape of the bonsai is good, although it is not as good as the old golden cinnamon of the last week, but it is also a rare boutique, put on the market, each pot is worth more than 100,000!
Officials at the level of Liu Zhong generally have some hobbies.
These hobbies, naturally, can't be like young people, they are hobbies of karaoke dancing, generally speaking, they are nothing more than tea, flowers, birds, and antiques.
Officials are good antiques, which is relatively common.
However, antiques and these things, which are often worth tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, are placed at home, and they look very dazzling, and they are always reminiscent of big corrupt officials like "He Shen" in the TV series. So gradually, the official's hobby shifted to flower bonsai.
Raising flowers and fiddling with bonsai is also elegant, which is undoubtedly much better than playing with antiques.
What's more, the value of high-quality bonsai is not inferior to that of antiques, and it is not so dazzling. A little less vulgar and extravagant, a little more fresh and elegant......
Liu Zhong undoubtedly has three of them!
"Nie Yun, you're here!"
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, a loud voice came.
Following the sound, Nie Yun saw that in the northeast corner of the courtyard, at the door of the side house, a tall and majestic middle-aged man was pruning a laurel tree planted in the ground, and Liu Junwei followed the middle-aged man obediently as if he had seen a cat and a mouse. Obviously, this middle-aged man is none other than Liu Junwei's father, Liu Zhong!
