Chapter 165, the last cup of tea
Among the many sights, a black sedan slowly stopped in front of the Yanjing Hotel, this is just a very ordinary domestic car, the license plate is not amazing, it is quietly placed at the gate, among the many famous cars and luxury cars, it looks very ordinary, but the surrounding hot eyes give it a strong charm.
The car door opened, and a man about fifty or sixty years old got out of the car first, and then hurriedly ran to the other side to open it, and then everyone saw that an old man appeared slowly from inside, he got out of the car slower than ordinary people, but every move was not pretentious, and seemed to be completed in earnest.
The man who got off the car first will not be unfamiliar to everyone, Qiu Guowei, a contemporary calligrapher, whose words are hard to find, can definitely be regarded as a national treasure-level figure, but at this time no one paid attention to him, they all looked at the old man supported by Qiu Guowei excitedly, this old man is Liu Anshan, a legendary existence, his legend spans half a century, is the idol in the minds of countless people.
"Teacher Liu, slow down." An old woman about fifty or sixty years old couldn't help it, walked over with a brisk step, and Qiu Guowei supported Liu Anshan alone, Teacher Liu was really old.
"Hehe, Milin, didn't I tell you in my letter last time that I was in good health, or did I act like a patient?" Although he said, Liu Anshan did not stop the support of his proud protégé, and the two had not seen each other for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart.
"Senior Sister Mirin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Qiu Guowei also greeted the old woman with a smile, and the latter also responded with a smile, Qiu Guowei is a disciple of Liu Anshan, and so is Mi Lin, but the former has become a master of calligraphy and painting, and the latter has become an evergreen tree in the literary world.
Of course. The Red Leaf Society he founded is the fundamental reason why so many people respect and respect him.
"Teacher, it's windy here, let's go inside." Mirin said with some distress.
"It's okay, we can't let the talents of our Momiji Society catch a cold." Liu Anshan nodded, and let the two of them help him walk towards the door of the hotel.
The three of them walked all the way, and when they met, they all bowed and greeted the disciples in an orderly manner. may have seen so many elites gathered here, Liu Anshan's smile on his face never stopped, and he kept stretching out his hand to say hello, and many of the older people, he could still call out their names one by one and express condolences, which made many old members red-eyed.
Liu Anshan did not refuse to be the first to enter the hotel, and the three of them entered, followed by the people of the Red Leaves Society. They all entered one after another in an orderly manner, and through observation, Wang Xiaotian also found that this entrance was still exquisite. The first is Liu Anshan, and then they are all old members, like Xu Yan, they all have to wait until the end to enter.
The Momiji Society is powered by education. The rules and etiquette are very important, even if few people will abide by them in this era, but. The Red Leaves Club is held every time, no matter how much you have achieved, you have to greet your predecessors, and you must be polite when you pass through the door, otherwise even if you are powerful, you can't resist the power of the Red Leaves Club twisted into a rope.
That's the scary thing about Momijikai!
Obviously, this is not the first time that the Yanjing Hotel has entertained the red leaf party, Wang Xiaotian's small circle just walked in, and a cheongsam waiter greeted him, warmly led to a corner, arranged to be seated, where the field of vision is, surrounded by quaint mahogany tables, and Liu Anshan is in the center of the table, accompanied by the highly respected figures who are seated.
This is also a ranking according to a certain ability and qualifications, where Wang Xiaotian is, but it is not close to the center, obviously their qualifications can only be seated here.
No one dared to say that they were dissatisfied with such an arrangement, and after taking their seats, they all chatted enthusiastically with the people at the same table.
"Xiaoyan, I didn't expect us to be at the same table, it seems that this is fate." At the table on the side, Zou Guodong looked at Xu Yan excitedly, this seating is all up to the hotel according to the roster, and it is not something he can decide, Xu Xinliang and the others are also smiling, obviously happy to meet again this time.
Xu Yan was also a little pleased, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we really haven't talked for a few days, so let's take advantage of Elder Liu's birthday to have a good chat." ”
is already an acquaintance, naturally there is a lot less estrangement, Xu Yan's table is full of conversation and laughter, very lively, of course, this does not include Wang Xiaotian and Xu Qing, the two of them are in this group of people, and they can't talk at all.
From their conversation, Wang Xiaotian also learned that in addition to joining the same period as Xu Yan, this Zou Guodong and Xu Xinliang also interned in a company, which was also an experience arranged by the Red Leaf Society, which can be regarded as a revolutionary friendship, but obviously this Zou Guodong is interesting to Xu Yan, and many of the words will die to listen to her life.
And Xu Yan also realized it, and fooled the past with Tai Chi, but Xu Xinliang talked about work and interests, as an intermediate conciliation, so as not to expose Zou Guodong's face more obviously.
"Xiaotian, I'm a little thirsty." Wide-eyed staring, Xu Qing is small mouth, don't look at the place that seems to be lively, but the heavy atmosphere lingers, she is a little girl, she is really a little restless, especially sitting around a pile, but there is nothing on the table.
"Wait a minute, I guess it's about the same." Wang Xiaotian frowned, grabbed Xu Qing's hand under the table and comforted him, everything here is in order, obviously there is a strict arrangement, I am afraid that everything will be done according to the rules, and there will be no chaos at all.
Sure enough, as Wang Xiaotian guessed, the Yanjing Hotel was indeed proceeding according to the arrangement of the Red Leaves Club, and after everyone sat down for about fifteen minutes, a line of beautiful cheongsam women came out, holding a special tea set in their hands.
"Fengcha-" The manager stretched out his voice, and his voice instantly made the scene quiet, and everyone sat down and took the topic back.
And the cheongsam woman carried the teapot and tea set between the tables in response, the hot water, the scorching pouring sound, and soon the whole hall was soaked in a tea fragrance.
Good tea, good tea art, although he has not tasted it, Wang Xiaotian has been able to appreciate that this tea is not simple.
After a round, a person in the middle slowly stood up, it was Liu Anshan, he looked around, nodded, and then spoke, "You have come from afar, the heart of the fist, let the old man be ashamed, I am an old man who is about to die, how can it be worth letting the elites from all walks of life abandon their work and come here to congratulate their birthdays?" ”
"No, teacher, you deserve a word from us about Shoubi Nanshan!" Qiu Guowei stood up and said loudly, his words echoed by everyone.
Liu Anshan smiled and shook his head: "Is it worth it, then you have to be the pole scale in your heart, no matter what, you are all the pride of the Red Leaf Society, and it is also my pride, this first cup, welcome everyone back to the big family of the Red Leaf Society!" ”
The old man's words were vigorous and powerful, and he drank a cup in public, and everyone was also excited to drink a cup together, and the scene was not magnificent.
"Wang Xiaotian, you respect Liu Lao a little." A table in the corner, Zou Guodong shouted in a low voice.
Opposite him, Wang Xiaotian pursed his lips, too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and motioned to the thirsty Xu Qing to drink his cup, ignoring Zou Guodong's red face.
Liu Anshan is respected, and he will also show a certain amount of respect, but that does not mean that he is disrespectful to give his cup of tea to others, as Liu Anshan himself said, then you have to ask the rod scale in your heart.
Xu Qing glanced at Wang Xiaotian, the latter signaled, she stuck out her tongue, and drank the second cup, I don't know if it was because she was too thirsty, she felt that the tea she had never loved seemed to be very delicious.
Seeing that Wang Xiaotian was doing his own thing, Zou Guodong's face obviously changed again, and he was about to say something, but he was pulled by Xu Xinliang, and he could only be silent for the time being.
The episode here did not affect the overall situation, after a cup of tea, Liu Anshan personally poured another cup for the cup in front of him, which made everyone's faces a little puzzled
"Hehe, don't you think it's strange?" Liu Anshan looked at everyone with a calm smile, then raised it and said calmly: "This is the last cup of tea for President Liu Anshan." ”
The last cup, the president...... Everyone was puzzled for a while, and then they all showed shock.
"Teacher, what are you ......" Qiu Guowei couldn't help but exclaim, looking at his face, he didn't know Liu Anshan's plans in advance.
"That's right, today is the annual gathering of the Momiji Society, and it is also my 85th birthday, and this will also be the day I resign as the president of the Momiji Society." Liu Anshan seemed to be talking about something insignificant.
But the faces of the people who heard it changed greatly, and then they lowered their heads thoughtfully, or whispered something to their friends, a picture of all beings.
As if he didn't notice the performance of everyone, Liu Anshan said to himself, "Education power, when I knew this truth, I founded the Red Leaf Society, I didn't think so much at that time, I just thought, only more and more elites unite together, we can make ourselves strong, make the country strong, that year, Mr. Deng asked me, what will happen if the university is no longer high, I told him very clearly, the university has never been high, in the eyes of the people who study, so the following year, the university expanded, Our motherland has many university students ......"
"Some people scolded me for supporting expansion as a stupid act, which made our country a lot more mediocre, in fact, I have no regrets, because mediocrity is also talent, it is harder than a piece of waste wood that has not received information at all, he can't build a high-rise building, but he can also build a wooden house to shelter those who need it."
"But for a country to prosper, mediocrity alone is not enough, we also need tough bricks, we also need supporting steel bars, so I founded the Red Leaf Society, this place to gather talents, in fact, I succeeded, the Red Leaf Society gave birth to many outstanding elites, they are active in major industries, do their best for the development of the motherland, and win glory for their own honor, although in recent years, the Red Leaf Society has changed a lot."
