In autumn, the trees of the East Lake are dyed a little yellow, and the lake water is cold, which is a different scenery than the abundant summer.

On one side of the lake, several colleges and universities, such as Wuhan University, Wuhan Branch of Meihua University, Central Military Academy, Normal University, etc., have successively settled on the shore of East Lake, connecting them into a university town, adding scientific and technological and humanistic charm to this quiet and beautiful lakeside.

Even Meihua Laboratory has also made use of the human resources of East Lake University Town to establish Wuhan Branch, which has become the most desirable unit for graduates who are interested in scientific research, and has made a series of achievements in the fields of electrical, food chemistry, medicine and other scientific research fields in China in recent years.

First monosodium glutamate, then hydrofluoric acid, freon, refrigerator and many other inventions, the Meihua laboratory is famous at home and abroad, and enhances the national self-confidence.

As for large-scale projects such as railways, machinery, shipbuilding, and steam turbine power generation, they are not directly in contact with ordinary people's lives, and ordinary people do not have a deep feeling for Meihua Laboratory in the field of heavy chemicals.

But those teachers and students in the university town, they are not ordinary people who are blocked with information.

If the university town is lively and vibrant, then the central office area on the other side is serious, and it is also the heart of China, where government offices are located.

Lin Yimin's house is not far from Meilu, less than a kilometer, Wu Manli has lived in it for two days, Lin Yimin and his wife Huang Huilan gave Wu Manli's mother and son a sense of home, and praised the beautiful scenery of East Lake.

Speaking of which, Huang Huilan is also a frequent visitor to Meilu, and from her mouth, Wu Manli knows that Song ML is in Meilu. Meilu was originally the Situ Mansion. One of the best houses in the Elite District of East Lake. However, it was later renamed Meilu.

It was also renamed Meilu, because of Song ML's fame, Meilu's reputation gradually spread, so that many people didn't know that its former name was Situ Mansion.

Wu Manli stood on the balcony on the second floor, and she could see a corner of the beautiful house not far away, which was hidden between a lake and mountains, which was really a beautiful scenery in the world.

Wu Manli was interested in Meilu and came to Wuhan for two days. I have been attending intergovernmental banquets and talks before, but unfortunately I haven't seen Song ML, and now that I have time to spare, Wu Manli plans to visit her.

Song ML must have known that he was here and lived in Lin Yimin's house. On the first day he came to Wuhan, Song ML sent someone to send an invitation and invited Wu Manli to live in Meilu.

However, Wu Manli agreed to Lin Yimin first, accepted Lin Yimin's invitation, and lived in Lin's house, as long as she refused Song ML.

Song ML didn't have any news later. Maybe it's because I'm physically inconvenient and just gave birth. Maybe it's because you don't want to be too enthusiastic and look like you're bowed.

What exactly is in mind, only these two women know in their hearts.

Whether it is Song Ziwen or Lin Yimin, they are careful to avoid talking about each other in front of the two women, both have some expectations, but they will not deliberately bring the two women together, who knows if they will fight?

Huang Huilan was behind Wu Manli, and when she saw her looking in the direction of Meilu, she didn't even notice that she came to her side, and thought: Her mood should be very complicated at this moment.

"The scenery on this side of East Lake is very good!" Huang Huilan stepped forward, stood side by side with Wu Manli, and asked with a smile.

"Very nice, beautiful view, quiet and easy to travel." Wu Manli turned around and smiled at Huang Huilan, "Two days after coming here, I felt that the seasons on the mainland change clearly, unlike the hot weather in New Tangshan, which always rains. When I came to Shanghai, I was not used to the climate there, and I suffered a lot. ”

"Yes! New Tangshan is about to enter spring and summer at this time, and Wuhan is almost Mid-Autumn Festival! ”

Huang Huilan echoed that she grew up in Nanyang and is very familiar with the climate of Nanyang, but fortunately, Wuhan is also considered to be in the south, and if she goes to live in the north, she will not be used to it.

"Sister Manli, you may not believe it, this part of East Lake was planned by Mr. Situ in his early years, and the university town on the other side was also his idea. He probably tossed up, drew a large frame, and put everyone else in it.

In order to complete his plan, in the past few years, our family has been running to the other side of the river, and finally for a while, he has been to the construction site of the university town on the other side more times than he has gone home. ”

Huang Huilan complained with a smile, it can be regarded as suing Situ Nan in front of Wu Manli.

"I deeply understand this, Situ Nan is a whimsical, ordinary people can't grasp his mind, but he can make so many things, and after he started a start, he threw the stall to others and ran away by himself."

Wu Manli nodded in agreement, counted Situ Nan, and then took Huang Huilan's hand and said cordially, "Fortunately, like-minded friends like Youmin and Ziwen helped to implement his ghost ideas, otherwise the Zhigong Party and Meihua Company would not have today's scenery." You, a virtuous helper, have helped Lin Yimin a lot, and his credit is half of yours. ”

Wu Manli did not hesitate to praise Huang Huilan, the Lin family and the Huang family are both allies and partners of Situ Nan, and they have great influence in the party and the Meihua Company, whether it is Wu Manli or Song ML, they spare no effort to win them over.

Compared with the Song family, Wu Manli is closer to Lin Yimin and his wife, of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the Huang Zhonghan Huang family, a local faction in South China.

As for the Song family, to a certain extent, they are Wu Manli's rivals, whether it is for men, for influence within the Meihua Zhi Gong Party, or for the allocation of resources of the Meihua Foundation.

"How can it be so exaggerated as you say, and I still share half of the credit? What credit can I have, it is just not to block men and do the little things I can. ”

Huang Huilan said modestly, as an important woman who often appears in the charity activities of the Meihua Foundation, the little things she can do are actually not simple, and she has helped a lot of people, but in front of Wu Manli, a strong woman, she can't be proud.

"Sister Manli is the model of our new women, I see, it is still up to Sister Manli, Sister ML, Sister Bicheng, the eldest sisters of you to win glory for our women. You are the heroines, little girl, I will follow you as a little soldier. ”

Huang Huilan smiled and looked at Wu Manli with admiration.

Wu Manli smiled slightly and calmly accepted Huang Huilan's praise. To be humble is to be hypocritical. How famous it is. How big a thing to do. If you just have a reputation and can't do real things, your reputation will be flashy.

In the Chinese world today, Wu Manli and Song ML are the two most famous women, known as the Southern Wu and Northern Song Dynasty.

As for the two golden flowers in the social field in the mouths of literati and ink writers - the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Continent, compared with the two women of Wu and Song, it is simply insignificant.

Besides, Lu Xiaoman's divorce has been in a uproar recently. Public opinion no longer has a good reputation for Lu Xiaoman, the two major newspapers under the Shanghai Poster Industry Group, Ta Kung Pao and Shi Ji Bao, rarely commented on Lu Xiaoman's divorce turmoil, the two newspapers have different positions, the former is conservative, the latter is open, and they have mixed reviews of Lu Xiaoman, not to mention for the time being, the key is that they all agree to create Wang Geng's image of a good man and a good husband with ideals, morality, culture and merit.

Against the backdrop of Wang Geng's good and fault-free background, it is conceivable what kind of evaluation Lu Xiaoman received in the tabloids on the street and the mouths of the long-tongued women in the streets. It's like Pan Jinlian is reincarnated!

This is also one of the reasons why she is hiding in the Lu family now and will never show her head easily.

Huang Huilan also has a heart for gossip. There is no shortage of discussions in Wuhan circles about Shanghai Tang. The circles of Shanghai Tang look down on Wuhan and feel that Shanghai is the best city, while the circles of Wuhan think that they are at the feet of the Son of Heaven and are extremely noble. The two gangs looked down on each other, basically the same as in later generations.

On the other hand, Guangzhou is another big city, there is basically not much to talk about, Lao Guang has always been silent chicken thieves to make money, they prefer food and health care, and are not interested in Shanghai, Wuhan and other places to fight for the wind and jealousy, even if they gossip, they gossip more about the fact that a certain family has made a fortune in Nanyang, is it better to run a manor in Nanhua to make money or to go to Shanghai and Wuhan to open a factory?

I have been away from Shanghai for many years, but I didn't expect it to be so lively in China now!

After listening to Huang Huilan's gossip, Wu Manli secretly sighed in her heart.

Especially when she heard that the Shanghai Poster Industry Group secretly controlled by Song ML, the newspapers and radio stations below intentionally or unintentionally contributed to Lu Xiaoman's love triangle, she secretly guessed in her heart, is the woman of the Song family a little jealous of others, afraid that others will steal her limelight, she wants people to know that she is a national woman?

Wu Manli, who also shows herself as a strong woman, has a deep understanding and somewhat understands Song ML's thoughts, and what she did not only hit Lu Xiaoman, but also may not have the effect of showing favor to Wang Geng.

had such thoughts in his heart, but it was difficult to say it, but he showed an expression of interest in listening to Huang Huilan. In Huang Huilan's mouth, Wu Manli learned that a woman named Zhang Youyi was in the limelight in the business world, especially this woman had a vague relationship with Situ Nan, which aroused her interest.

Although the Women's Bank opened a branch in New Tangshan, and Wu Manli also became a shareholder, she has always heard of Zhang Youyi, a woman, but she has not met the partner. If I have the opportunity, I want to meet her.

Huang Huilan was happy and regarded Wu Manli as a confidant, and the relationship between the two women quickly warmed up.

"Where's Sinan?" Wu Manli said something on the balcony, and Wu Manli suddenly asked. I was chatting so much just now that I almost forgot about my son.

After living in Lin's house, she was busy with business, and her meetings, visits and other activities did not stop, and she had no time to take care of Wu Sinan, so she handed Wu Sinan over to Huang Huilan. During this period, except for Jiang Weiji who came to report to Wu Manli, except for Lin Yimin and his wife, no one in Wuhan had the opportunity to contact the second son of the Situ family! He is also one of the most likely heirs of the US-China consortium.

"In the morning, he played basketball on the backyard court, sweated profusely, and went to take a nap after eating and taking a shower."

Huang Huilan said, quietly glanced at Wu Manli, saw that Wu Manli didn't react, it seemed that she had long been used to Wu Sinan being like this, and said, "This child is so well-behaved, not clingy at all, I have never seen such a sensible and self-disciplined child."

In contrast, the children of the Kong family are much more naughty and cause trouble. Sister Manli, you are really a good teacher, I am convinced, you have to teach me a few tricks of experience. ”

Huang Huilan may have a bad impression of the children of the Kong family, Wu Manli is more familiar with the Kong family and his wife, and does not have much impression of the children of the Kong family, and will not say the rights and wrongs of other people's children.

"I don't have any experience, I'm just strict with him, I don't have much time to spend with him on weekdays, and I'm a little sorry for the child. However, I have worked so hard not to hand over the inheritance to him in the future. ”

Wu Manli sighed in her heart, in the blink of an eye, Wu Sinan was in elementary school, and time passed so fast.

"Fortunately, this child has a good personality, is smart and self-disciplined, likes to play basketball, and is physically stronger than ordinary children. It's like his father. ”

Wu Manli said again, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, happy and proud.

"Then there will be a father and a son. Our family also likes basketball, and specially made a basketball court at home, but I look at him, the level is just like that, and he doesn't look good yet. ”

Huang Huilan said with a smile.

Back in the living room, when Huang Huilan dialed Meilu's phone, Wu Manli's relaxed face had to be restrained.

"Third sister...... Yes, Sister Manli is by my side, and I asked her to talk to you. ”

Huang Huilan gave up her position and handed the phone to Wu Manli.

Wu Manli politely greeted a few words on the phone: "Sinan, he's fine, he just fell asleep." I'll take him there later...... See you later. ”

Wu Manli put down the phone, seeing that Huang Huilan was a little nervous when she saw herself on the phone just now, after the phone call, she agreed to meet Song ML in a few words, and Huang Huilan seemed to feel that it was too simple.

"That's it?" Huang Huilan looked at Wu Manli a little strangely.

"You think we're going to fight? Even if there is a fight, we have to meet, don't we? ”

Wu Manli shrugged her shoulders slightly and said with a faint smile.

"Where?"

Huang Huilan smiled and said duplicitously, "Even if the two of you fight, I'm not on your side, am I?" ”

"Slippery head!" Wu Manli glanced at Huang Huilan.

As for whether there will be fire when she meets Song ML, Wu Manli is not worried at all, although she and Song ML have rarely met, they know each other very well, both parties have high emotional intelligence, and their eloquence and communication are first-class.

Song ML is a high-achieving student who studied abroad, knows foreign languages, is good at dealing with foreigners, returns to China, and has a lot of prestige in the Zhi Gong Party, and I, Wu Manli, am not bad, otherwise I can suppress an ambitious guy like Jiang Weiji into obedience?

In addition to her not very good background, Wu Manli thinks that she is red and black in doing things, and the delicate and expensive Song ML may not be able to do it.

Besides, he started early and gave birth to his eldest son, so why is he older than Song ML's qualifications, right?

Wu Manli subconsciously excluded the United States, the United States inherited Situ Nan's career in the United States, the scale and influence of the William Consortium was greater than that of the American-Chinese Consortium, and the Asian side was naturally inherited by herself, Song ML and He Xiangu.

In this way, isn't I, Wu Manli, the concubine of the main house?

Hate Situ Nan's unconscionable guy who divided the shares of the US-China Bank into four, each of the three got 10% of the shares, and the remaining 20% was held by himself, and it had already been arranged at that time, and the more than 20% of the shares would not be left to anyone, but would only be donated to the US-China Fund Association.
