At noon the next day, Zhou Wen called Liu Ziguang and asked him to prepare, drive to the provincial capital in the evening to do errands, ask for a car, some "native products", Liu Ziguang understood and immediately began to arrange, Phaeton is still repairing, Xuanzi is not at home and it is inconvenient to borrow a car, so he called the group office to ask to borrow an Audi A6, but the office director is stumbling and seems to be very difficult.

Liu Ziguang suddenly understood that Li Kun was still angry with himself, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously, and went directly to the Peace Hotel to buy the chrysler newly bought by Scar; In the evening, Liu Ziguang changed into a set of decent clothes and drove to the downstairs of Zhou Wen's house, Zhou Wen got into the car with a big bag, fastened his seat belt and asked, "Ready?" ”

"Alright."

Liu Ziguang patted his pocket, and the small tank-like Chrysler 3ooc drove out of the city, got on the high highway, and went straight to the provincial capital.

On the high highway, Zhou Wen explained to Liu Ziguang the purpose of going to the provincial capital, after careful investigation and careful consideration, Mayor Zhou decided to put the article in a journal called "Seeking Knowledge" run by Jiangdong University, this monthly magazine is Secretary Zheng's must-read bibliography, and the editor-in-chief of Knowledge, Professor Nan, is also a professor of the Central Party School, and Secretary Zheng's personal relationship is very good, quite famous in China, if you can ask him to give him some advice, and then arrange a good layout, do not worry that Secretary Zheng can't see.

After the last car accident, Mayor Zhou no longer dared to use the official car, all aspects were very close, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he asked the secretary and Liu Ziguang to run this matter together, of course, this kind of official thing is mainly Zhou Wen's appearance, and Liu Ziguang only acts as a liquid wallet.

The 400-kilometer journey was completed in three hours, and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the place, and there were not many people on the streets of Jiangbei City at this time, but the provincial city was still full of lights and wine, and the streets were crowded.

Zhou Wen often follows Mayor Zhou to run the provincial capital, he is already familiar with the road, took Liu Ziguang to a kTV downstairs, made a phone call, and did not make much effort to come down to a hipster man dressed in Korean style, take a closer look at the age is actually not young, Zhou Wen got out of the car and said a few words to him, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over, the man skillfully pinched the thickness of the envelope and stuffed it in his waist, patted Zhou Wen's shoulder and said something, turned around and went upstairs.

Zhou Wen returned to the car, let out a long breath and said: "It's finally arranged, don't underestimate this person, the energy is very big, he can do anything that others can't do, if you don't pass him, we will line up in the provincial capital for a month, and we won't see Professor Nan's face, with his help, we will be able to line up tomorrow." ”

Liu Ziguang exclaimed: "The current university professors are so **, they have to queue up for appointments." ”

Zhou Wen shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you think these people are the kind of Principal Wang, they are actually already considered to be in the officialdom, and you must not be stingy when the time comes, otherwise you won't talk about it if you can't do it well, and you will be ruined in the future." ”

Liu Ziguang thought so, and the two found a four-star hotel to live in, ate some supper and went to bed early, waiting to see Professor Nan tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the two got up and washed up, and drove to the well-known Jiangdong University, a long-established institution that ranks among the top three in China in terms of comprehensive strength, and many officials in the province are also from Jiangdong University, so the influence of this university is extremely far-reaching both in the civil and officialdom.

Jiangdong University has a fine tradition of respecting teachers and valuing education, and has built dormitory buildings and villa areas for faculty and staff, which is extremely rare in a provincial capital where every inch of land is valuable.

Liu Ziguang and Zhou Wen drove to the door of Professor Nan's house according to the address given by the person last night, and saw a Mercedes-Benz S-class car parked in the garage.

The two of them glanced at each other, they had a number in their hearts, they went up and knocked on the door, it was the nanny who came to open the door, and when they saw the outfits of the two and the big bags in their hands, they were not surprised and asked, "Is there an appointment?" ”

"It's an appointment, here's my business card." Zhou Wen politely presented his business card with both hands, and the nanny looked at it and said, "Oh, come in." After that, he led the two to the living room, at this time there were already a bunch of people sitting in the living room, and the corner was also full of gifts.

The sand and chairs were full, and the nanny didn't find them a seat, so she poured tea, but simply explained: "Professor Nan is still resting, don't make a loud noise." ”

Zhou Wen said yes again and again, and naturally stood there admiring the layout of the living room, but in fact, he was observing the guests on the sand, there were a few people dressed as students in their twenties, who should be doctoral students led by Professor Nan, and a few groups of people, with big backs in suits and leather shoes, and at first glance, they were people in the officialdom, presumably the purpose of coming here was the same as Zhou Wen.

Waited until half past ten, Professor Nan hadn't gotten up yet, just when everyone was a little anxious, Professor Nan finally appeared, medium stature, gold-rimmed glasses, and a little sparse head, looking approachable, but he was resolute in doing things, he sat down on the sand, and began to receive guests in order.

First of all, the doctoral students handed over the paper to the supervisor for comment, Professor Nan glanced at it a few times, and directly threw the paper back, and scolded the dog's blood spray, Nuo Nuo, and went back to revise it in a gray manner, and the whole process was only five minutes.

Then he began to receive other people, first a few foreign city propaganda ministers, carefully handed over the invitation, saying that Professor Nan was invited to attend the cultural and art festival held in their city, and cut the ribbon inscription or something, Professor Nan did not hide his impatience at all, and directly refused: "I want to go to the Central Party School during that time period, and I am not free." ”

The minister retreated and asked Professor Nan to give him a piece of ink treasure, Professor Nan was even more polite, saying that he was not in the mood to write recently, and he would talk about it next time, which was equivalent to directly issuing an eviction order, and the minister had to get up with a smile and say goodbye, pointing to the gift placed on the wall and saying: "A little souvenir, please Professor Nan smile." ”

"Take it, take it." Professor Nan waved his hand again and again, and asked the nanny to carry the things out directly, and then began to receive the next group of guests.

Zhou Wen's heart was cold, this Professor Nan is too **, although he can get an appointment quota through the way of the professor's wife and nephew, but he can't say anything at all, let alone your little secretary, even the head of the Propaganda Department has ended up like that, you can imagine it.

Professor Nan's time is precious, and after beating another group of guests, he looked at his watch and exclaimed, "I have made an appointment for dinner, I have to hurry over." With that, he got up and went out and threw half of the room on the cold bench.

Everyone smiled relatively bitterly, they could only endure hunger and wait at Professor Nan's house, the nanny didn't care about them, they went down to the kitchen to cook and eat, the smell of food came, from eight o'clock in the morning until the current guests were already hungry, but no one dared to go, and then entrusting the relationship appointment is a trivial matter, and it is not good to delay the big thing assigned by the leader.

Liu Ziguang couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to leave, but was persuaded by Zhou Wen bitterly, saying that it would be a few hours, and so on.

It wasn't until half past two in the afternoon that Professor Nan, who was full of wine and food, came late, and brought a bald old man, and the two of them regarded half of the guests in the room as if they were nothing, and went straight into the inner room, and then never came out again.

The guests were like sitting on pins and needles, neither walking, nor staying, so they could only continue to sit awkwardly hungry, just like that, the eyes of the crowd stared, and they only saw the clock hands on the wall moving, Liu Ziguang finally couldn't hold it back, and took advantage of the toilet to enter Professor Nan's inner room.

Professor Nan sat opposite the bald old man, all eyes fixed on the chess game in front of him, and it turned out that the two old men had left the guests outside and talked with their hands inside.

Liu Ziguang took a look at it, and his chest suddenly became clear, and he directly took out a black cloud from Professor Nan's chess basket and put it in the center of the chessboard.

Professor Nan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good chess!" This chess piece broke the deadlock, but also gave him inspiration and ideas, after turning his head, Professor Nan won a first move, and then gave up the corner field, in the middle of the belly to take the outside momentum into a big empty, and turned defeat into victory.

"Young man, do you know how to play chess?" Professor Nan did not blame Liu Ziguang for his rash intrusion and the rudeness of moving the chess pieces, and looked at him with interest and asked.
