The two chatted, put on a game of chess, and got down very casually, and when the chess reached the middle game, when it was intense, Tang Huasheng suddenly stopped, looked out the window, and said, "Director Zhou, Mr. Wei is calling you." ”

Zhou Jing turned his head and looked out, but saw that more than ten meters away, Wei Xiaoyue was standing on the opposite step, waving his hand to this side frequently, he hurriedly put down the chess pieces, and said with a smile: "Tang, please wait, I'll go back when I go." ”

Tang Huasheng hummed, saw Zhou Jing leave, walked to the wall, and admired a freehand landscape painting, the artistic conception in the painting, but as a Tang poem said: "Where the autumn wind comes, Xiao Xiao sends a flock of geese, and the morning comes into the garden tree, and the lonely guest is the first to hear it." ”

Zhou Jing walked through the courtyard, came to Wei Xiaoyue's side, and chuckled: "Sister Wei, is there something?" ”

Wei Xiaoyue nodded with a smile and said in a low voice: "Wait here, the old man may see you later." ”

Zhou Jing immediately became nervous, as if he was beating a drum in his heart, and said with an unnatural expression: "Sister Wei, what will you ask?" ”

Wei Xiaoyue smiled, shook her head and said: "I don't know, the old man is old, and for a long time, he likes to talk about some things in the past, you don't have to talk much, just sit with him for a while, if you can, just say as little as possible, so as not to make mistakes, and it is not good to round." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and nodded: "Okay, I did some homework, but I don't know if I can use it." ”

Wei Xiaoyue sighed and whispered: "You don't need to do your homework, the more deliberate you are, the more likely it is to backfire, at the age of the old man, he has already seen through the world and human feelings, in front of him, it is best to be clumsy, and the more you pretend to be smart, the more dull you are." ”

Zhou Jing listened, thought deeply, and smiled: "Sister Wei, you still understand the reason, listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years." ”

Wei Xiaoyue chuckled, glanced at him, and pouted: "Come on, how can it be so exaggerated!" ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said with emotion: "At least, I can avoid a lot of detours." ”

Wei Xiaoyue put away her smile and whispered: "I'm not afraid of detours, what I'm afraid of is that I can't do without crutches, after I get down, no matter how heavy the wind and rain are, I have to rely on myself to break through, don't expect us to help from the side, you know?" ”

Zhou Jing snorted and sighed: "That's okay, you're chasing ducks to the shelves, I can't help it, so I have to try it hard." ”

Wei Xiaoyue was overjoyed, and whispered: "Don't worry, I'll send you a few words, if you use it well, you can flourish and be left and right." ”

Zhou Jingqi was surprised, and said in surprise: "What words?" ”

Wei Xiaoyue looked ahead, and said with a smile: "Quiet self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue, once you fail, everything will fall apart." ”

Zhou Jing was secretly surprised, pondered it repeatedly, and felt quite insightful, so he smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll try, if the road doesn't work, I'll come to you again, and at most I will do business with you." ”

Wei Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head, and said in a low voice: "That's not possible, there are enough people in business now, if you fail, find another way out by yourself, don't come to me, I only be friends with the successful, not with the losers." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and sighed: "Women, it's really realistic enough, you can change when you say it, and you are ruthless to turn your face." ”

Wei Xiaoyue chuckled, shook her head and said, "That's not it, I just want to tell you that in your career, you must have the courage to move forward." ”

"yes!" Zhou Jing hummed, took out the cigarette, put it to his mouth and sniffed it, and put it back again.

The two chatted on the steps, and after a few minutes, an old man with a sixtieth armor came out of the room, the old man was wearing an old-fashioned hexagram, with a double-breasted button on his chest, and a shiny crutch in his hand. ”

Wei Xiaoyue hurriedly turned around and said respectfully: "Uncle He, this is the eldest lady's friend, Zhou Jing." ”

Zhou Jing also noticed that this person should be similar to the role of a housekeeper, and hurriedly said, "Uncle He is good." ”

Uncle He's face was cold, he glanced at him quietly, and said, "Okay, Jing Shao, please come in." ”

Zhou Jing was nervous, nervously followed the old man, entered the room, but saw that the room was furnished with simple atmosphere, with mahogany furniture, exquisite workmanship, exquisite and extraordinary, and everywhere in the room, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, antique utensils, all available, in the middle of the wheelchair, sat an old man who was not angry and self-imposing, the old man was not tall, pale, as if he was afraid of cold, and was wrapped in a black coat, but the slightly squinted eyes, when his gaze fell on Zhou Jing's face, he felt a pinprick-like tingling.

Maybe it's the psychological effect, Zhou Jing felt that he was a little too nervous, so he took a deep breath, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at the old man's side, sitting on his lap, and Deputy Secretary Huang, who was also very restrained, felt a little soothed, bowed down and said, "Hello Chen!" ”

"Okay, Zhou Jing, right!" Chen Lao raised his hand, motioned for Zhou Jing to sit down, took the teacup, took a small sip, then retracted his edge, looked at him with warm eyes, and smiled: "You and Concubine Xue are classmates, right?" ”

Zhou Jing sat down and told the truth: "Yes, during my study abroad at Harvard, I got along with Miss Xue Fei for a while. ”

Chen Lao put down the teacup, sighed, and said with a headache: "She is very willful and has few friends. ”

Zhou Jing couldn't answer, so he pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes fell on Deputy Secretary Huang, and he saw him holding his lower abdomen with both hands, smiling.

Old Chen looked kind, looked Zhou Jing up and down again, and frowned: "You don't look big, smaller than Concubine Xue, right?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Xue Fei is two years older than me." ”

Chen Lao snorted, turned his gaze to Huang Yalin, and said with a smile: "I heard a lot from Secretary Huang just now, especially in urban planning, construction and management, which is very insightful. ”

"Yes, Elder Chen is right!" Zhou Jing and Huang Yalin nodded at the same time, their faces showed respect, although the old man in the wheelchair, although he was old and sick, but his body seemed to contain a powerful force, which made people dare not slack off in the slightest.

Chen Lao is very talkative, talking about the work and life in the countryside during the period of going to the countryside, talking and deed, revealing a kind of nostalgia for the past life, his voice is very slow, but very infectious, and the tone and frustration make people feel very cordial and affinity.

And Huang Yalin sat in the first place, but it was like sitting on pins and needles, he had already reported his current situation to Chen Lao, but Chen Lao has not expressed his position, which made him feel a little bottomless, if this trip to the capital, can not win the support of Chen Lao, the big drama in the provincial capital, most of them will not be able to sing, he is more and more worried, but he did not show it, he is still a calm look.

"At that time, everyone suffered a lot, but they also benefited a lot, enough to benefit for a lifetime." Chen Lao chatted for a long time, paused, then narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Zhou Jing, do you know what it means to be half-open and slightly drunk?" ”

Zhou Jing's heart was awe-inspiring, knowing that the old man was taking the examination school himself, and after a little silence, he said: "Old Chen, this should mean that the budding flowers are the most worth looking forward to, and the feeling of being slightly drunk is the most beautiful. ”

Chen Lao squinted his eyes slightly, seemed to be smiling, did not make any statement, and touched his wheelchair and asked, "What about the magnanimity and the small and thin?" ”

Zhou Jing answered the first question, his mood was much lighter, this time he didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Kind and tolerant people will be comfortable because of their generous minds, and they will get long-term rich blessings, and they will be able to do things easily, while short-sighted and narrow-minded people will not get rich blessings because of their narrow thinking, and they will be at a loss to do things. ”

Chen Lao nodded lightly and said with a smile: "That's right, not only to be able to tolerate others, but also to be able to tolerate opponents and enemies, many times, friends can make you depressed and decadent, and the enemy is your real whetstone, and it will also force you to grow." ”

Zhou Jing listened to it and hurriedly said: "Old Chen Gao, if a person wants to have such a realm, it can really be said to be far-sighted and strategic. ”

Old Chen smiled, raised his hand and pointed at him and said, "Sycophant!" ”

Huang Yalin listened to it next to him, and he was very surprised, but he also laughed and said: "Old Chen, this kid is very clever and reacts quickly. ”

Chen Lao nodded, and said: "Yes, yes, but people are too smart, and they will also seek troubles for themselves, so remember that less is a blessing and more is a cause for trouble." ”

Zhou Jing listened, it was nothing, but Huang Yalin's face changed slightly, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat from time to time, Chen Lao took a sip of tea, and then turned his head and said: "Yalin, harmony is precious, family and everything is prosperous, Jiangzhou Province was not very peaceful a few years ago, this has just settled down recently, people are determined, if there is a glimmer of possibility, we must strive for stability and harmony, and cherish the good situation!" ”

Huang Yalin looked slightly embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "Old Chen, what you said is true, but the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I have nothing here, but there are already horses on the other side, if you are not prepared, it is easy to suffer." ”

Chen Lao smiled indifferently, shook his head and said: "No, some time ago, I met with your Secretary Yan, this person is very good, very decent, politically strong, I believe it will be handled fairly, you have to be more lenient and have confidence in the squad leader." ”

Huang Yalin was very disappointed, but he still smiled and nodded: "Okay, Old Chen, I know what to do." ”

Chen Lao glanced at him, smiled slightly, and strengthened his tone: "Don't carry a burden, let it go, it's man-made!" ”

Huang Yalin was slightly stunned, then understood, and said with relief: "Thank you to Old Chen, I finally got a relief pill." ”

Chen Lao laughed, a trace of tiredness appeared on his face, pushed the cup forward, and said: "Okay, Yalin, do a good job, you are a good cadre, you have brains, you also talk about politics, you can take care of the overall situation, there will be no problem, just let go of your hands and feet, do it boldly." ”

Seeing this, Huang Yalin stood up and said goodbye: "Old Chen, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to visit later." ”

"Okay, okay, Lao He, send off guests." Chen Lao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and when he saw the two of them out, he helped the wheelchair and entered the back room.
