After Meng Haiyun came to the hotel, Manager Li took him to the private room.

Zhang Wanru introduced them: "Mayor Meng, this is my relative Uncle Lu, I have a bad stomach these days, you can accompany the old man to drink two cups." ”

Zhang Wanru introduced: "Uncle, this is our class president in college, Meng Haiyun. ”

Meng Haiyun saw that the old man was extraordinary, and knew that this old man was definitely not ordinary, so he shook hands with the old man warmly and shouted, "Hello uncle." Welcome to Fengcheng City. ”

Then everyone sat down, and Zhang Wanru served tea and poured water for the two.

Lu Lao looked at Meng Haiyun as young and capable, and looked like a talent, and thought that his eldest son had said that this squad leader was the one who was working hard to pursue Wanru in college. Unexpectedly, Wanru was unmoved. I was even a little glad in my heart. If, forget it, not so many ifs.

He said with satisfaction: "Yes, you young people are full of energy and have a wealth of knowledge, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future." ”

Meng Haiyun looked at Lu Lao with a smile, and teased with a big grin: "I'm not as unique as your family's Wanru. When I was transferred, she bought the old hotel in the city and built this five-star hotel after five years of operation. During this period, her industry continued to grow and develop, and I am ashamed of her courage. To say that he is a demon is absolutely deserved. ”

After hearing this, Lu Lao was stunned at first, then looked at Wanru and laughed, and said, "Haha, that's right, it's a demon." She's very good at timing. ”

Zhang Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, rolled her eyes at Meng Haiyun, and asked complainingly, "Squad leader, will you praise people?" Why do I feel so awkward? ”

Meng Haiyun took the teapot with a smile, refilled the tea for the old man, and said, "I definitely compliment you." Right, uncle? ”

Then he looked at Lu Lao and continued: "At the end of the year after I was transferred, she took me to the mountainous area of my hometown and told me that I wanted to rent it and develop a resort. At that time, I thought she had no vision. It is poor and backward, especially lacking in water resources. As a result, she had already made a bamboo in her mind, and asked Ji Yuqing to draw her ideas into drawings. When she took out the drawings and showed them to me, the first thing she saw was the lake, which made my eyes suddenly brighten. ”

A smile like a spring breeze appeared on the old man's face, and he thought to himself, this student of the boss is still so talkative, and he is indeed a talent that can be created, and said with a smile: "Haha, it is very beautiful there, we just came from there." ”

Zhang Wanru just grinned at the ridicule of the two. It also livens up the atmosphere.

Soon, Manager Li led the waiter to serve the dishes one by one.

Zhang Wanru walked out of the private room and whispered to Manager Li, "You entertain the two people who came with you." After eating, let them rest in the luxury suite. Everything you need is met, everything is free. ”

She muttered in her heart, Lu Lao must be a big official, Lu Mingyu said unashamedly in the past that he can solve some problems for himself. It seems that he has confidence. Hehe, if Meng Haiyun knew who the old man in front of him was, would he scare him?

Zhang Wanru brought two bottles of low-alcohol Moutai, returned to the private room and filled the wine glasses for the two of them, and said with a smile: "Let's eat." Uncle try our hotel's signature dishes, is it to your liking? Our squad leader accompanies you for a drink, and here he is the landlord. ”

After the three of them tasted the dishes and drank a little wine, Meng Haiyun still chattered endlessly about Zhang Wanruru's interesting stories.

Zhang Wanru saw that the two of them were looking at her, pursed her lips embarrassedly, and said: "Squad leader, in general, I am responding to the party's call to make a modest contribution to the prosperity of the country; In a small way, it is to make a contribution to changing the backward appearance of his hometown. Haha, it's also to strongly support your work as a squad leader. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Lao and said with a smile: "Uncle, since our squad leader was transferred to our city, not only has the industry and tourism developed better than before, but also installed running water for every household in the village, and built roads that connect villages and villages. So that agricultural and sideline products can be smoothly transported out and sold to major markets. It didn't discredit our four-year college education. ”

Lu Lao understood what Zhang Wanru meant, that is, he did not live up to his eldest son's earnest teaching in the past four years.

looked at Meng Haiyun, nodded frequently, and then said to him: "Well, your thinking is very good, while doing a good job in urban construction, you should also focus on the livelihood of the people in the countryside." This is an initiative that deserves to be strongly advocated. While developing the city's industry, commerce, and tourism, it is also necessary to vigorously support the peasants. Only when industry and agriculture can develop can the national economy of the entire city be greatly enhanced. ”

When Meng Haiyun heard the old man's conversation, he felt more and more that he was not an ordinary person, and he began to be solemn when he spoke.

The two exchanged some work problems, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they also drank very happily.

Meng Haiyun gushed about the past and present situation of Fengcheng City, as well as how to develop in the future.

Lu Lao couldn't stop nodding. Said approvingly: "Well, it's still young people who have courage." The people here are very simple. ”

Meng Haiyun shifted the topic to the resort again, and said with a smile: "Wanru's resort, after several years of vigorous publicity, not only people from our province have come here, but also middle-aged and elderly people from other provinces have come to vacation and recuperate. The point is that the resort has a different scenery throughout the year, and you can also enjoy fishing. ”

Zhang Wanru said proudly: "That's right, we can also call it Huaguo Mountain." From the spring when the fruit trees bloom, in May there will be red and yellow apricots ripening and peaches on the market, in July and August, there will be peppercorns ripening, followed by pears, apples, chestnuts and walnuts. Persimmons ripen in October. ”

Lu Lao said with a smile: "That's right, the environment there is indeed very suitable for recuperation, not only the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh and quiet. If you stay here for a whole year, you will be able to enjoy the different scenery of the four seasons. Haha, I'm going to stay at the resort with a few old friends for a few days in a few days. ”

Meng Haiyun said with a smile: "If you come this year in October, the temperature will be suitable and the scenery will be pleasant. If you come next year and it's March or May, it's the best time to go. Haha, if you come again, I'll go and have another drink with you. ”

After being full of wine and food, she sent Meng Haiyun away, and Wanru sent the old man to the luxury suite to rest.

Zhang Wanru returned home, slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, and said to her mother-in-law after getting up: "Clean up the house, there will be guests in the afternoon." ”

She went to her mother's house again.

Wang Cuiping had retired, and when she saw Wanru coming back at this time, she asked curiously, "Is there anything?" ”

"Mom, you clean up the house, and there are guests who come to the house for dinner in the evening. You don't have to cook, I'll ask the hotel to send it, clean up the kitchen, and make some dishes at home. ”

"What kind of person, so grand?"

Zhang Wanru didn't look awake, yawned, rubbed her eyes, and said impatiently: "Don't ask, just listen to me." ”

Wang Cuiping glanced at her with disgust and said, "You girl, you say half a sentence and leave half a sentence for everything." ”

Zhang Wanru called her father again. Then I walked out the door and drove back to the hotel, where I looked at the financial statements in the office. At half past four, I went to the back kitchen again to explain and asked the chef to bring the ingredients to his mother's house to cook a few dishes.

At five o'clock, Lu Lao took the elevator to the top floor. Seeing that there is a cave here, there is not only a small garden, but all kinds of flowers and plants grow very well. There is also a fish tank that is 1 meter long and 50 centimeters wide, and there are many goldfish swimming in it.

Zhang Wanru heard the movement and walked out of the office. Just met the old man's gaze.

Zhang Wanru hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, I was just about to go to you." How well are you resting? ”

The old man smiled and said, "Very good." ”

Then he sat down on the stone bench next to the stone table and said earnestly, "Son, sit down and listen to me." I can't let that stinky boy give you a name now, but you have a fate with our old Lu family. Mingyu's eldest sister is in the United States, I will immigrate you and your children, and let your dragon and phoenix fetuses go to school there. After the child is born, let your eldest sister find someone to take care of it, and you can come back to take care of the property, and you can go and live with them for a few months every year. ”

Zhang Wanru understood that this was also the best way at present, and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Lu Lao continued: "Mingyu's daughter-in-law is not a long-lived person, she has cancer, and she has had surgery, but it is already spreading. Mingyu is also going back to the capital to work recently, so let him take care of the patients attentively. You don't have to wait for a while. ”

Zhang Wanru listened to the meaning of the old man's words, and she also understood it very well. Quickly answered, "Yes." Don't worry, uncle, I understand. ”

The old man can only say this, and now he really can't give Wanru more promises. But in my heart, I have already identified Wanru as a daughter-in-law.

He took out his mobile phone and asked Zhang Wanru's phone number, and after dialing, after hearing the mobile phone ringing, he said with a smile: "We both have our own phone numbers." I'll call when I'm in trouble in the future. I'll find a way to help you. ”

"Okay. Thank you, uncle. ”

Zhang Wanru knew that her current situation was extremely embarrassing, and Lu Mingyu and this kind old man were also very helpless. To make such a decision, we have done our best. For the sake of the child in the belly, I can bear anything.

Isn't there a saying? 'A woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong'.

In this short life of more than 30 years, all the ups and downs and hardships I have experienced have long been forged by life into an indestructible piece of steel, and I also have the courage to face any wind and waves.

When they returned home, Wanru's parents were at home, and Wanru hurriedly introduced, "Parents, this is Uncle Lu, come to our city to discuss business, and I invite him to come to the house as a guest." ”

Then he looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, these are my parents." ”

"Ao, come into the house, rain and dew, rain and morning, call grandpa." Old Man Zhang shook hands with Lu Lao warmly, and shouted for the two children to call people.

"Hello grandpa." The two of them ran over, one of them pulled Lu Lao with one hand, and let him sit down on the sofa.

"Okay, okay, they're all big kids."

Lu Lao said with a smile, looking at the two children, he felt very kind in his heart, sat on the sofa, took the two children in his arms and hugged them.

"Brother, my girl is a master who can toss, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me." Zhang Fakui poured tea for the guests and said politely.

Lu Lao said with a smile: "She is very practical in business, and you have raised a good daughter." ”

Lu Lao saw that there were two pianos on the east side of the spacious living room, and knew that Zhang Wanru's mother was a music teacher. Wanru's appearance is very easy with her, and she looks like a gentle and virtuous woman. Her father is tall and mighty, and he is the director of the city public security bureau. The couple seems to be loyal and honest, and the family is harmonious.

He smiled and said to Zhang Fakui: "Haha, you live very spacious." ”

Zhang Fakui smiled and said: "Haha, this house was bought by this girl, before and after the two of us lived, she said that we lived close to each other and took care of each other." We were blessed by her to stay in such a nice villa. ”

Wang Cuiping took the chef from the hotel to the kitchen, just walked back, and after hearing the conversation, she rolled her eyes at Zhang Fakui and sat on the sofa.

smiled and said to Lu Lao: "Brother, if it weren't for Wanru going to the sea, we would still be living in the apartment." I quit my job quietly because of this girl. Her dad almost beat her. We've been worried about her for a while. I didn't expect her to really start a business. ”

Lu Lao said with a smile: "Yes, this girl is willing to endure hardships and is also very clever. I heard that you are also versatile, and you are well educated. ”

After speaking, he looked at the two children beside him and asked gently: "Yuchen, Yulu, can you two play the piano?" ”

"Yes, grandpa, we both will, or I'll play one for you, right?" Yulu volunteered.

"Okay." Qian Lao said kindly.

Yulu sat down generously and played the most proficient song, Lu Lao was amazed after hearing it, and he liked it even more in his heart. I thought to myself that my grandson, with such excellent brothers and sisters, would definitely not be bad in the future.

During the banquet, the two old men had a good drink, and Lu Lao asked about Wanru's father's work, and talked about where he became a soldier. I ate a meal for more than an hour, and we got along very well.

Before leaving, Lu Lao went to Wanru's house to sit for a while, and Lu Lao said to Zhang Wanru: "Give me the household registration book and ID card, and I will go through the formalities." ”

"Good. My mother-in-law has to go with her, and I can't leave her behind. ”

After hearing this, Lu Lao praised her character. "I can't leave her behind." Let Lu Lao give him a big thumbs up.

Satisfied, he said, "Okay, let's go together." ”

Back at the hotel, Lu Lao was very happy, and took out the phone to call his son, "Stinky boy, is it convenient to speak?" ”

"Dad, you can say it."

"I'll go back tomorrow. I'll let their family go to your sister's place, you don't have to worry about it, and you're ready to do the handover and go back to the capital. ”

"Okay. Thank you Dad. My eldest brother told me. ”

Lu Mingyu put away the phone and was overjoyed, like a little fox who had succeeded in his conspiracy. I knew that the old man would come forward. It seems that she is very satisfied with Wanru.

Half a month later, Wanru received a call from Lu Lao that he was going to live at the resort with two good friends for a few days. It also prepares their family to go abroad.

Zhang Wanru was also very happy after hearing this, they could come to advertise the resort in disguise, and if the expectation was good, their arrival would also alarm the big people in the province to come to the resort. In the future, I will be able to reap the benefits of fishermen.

That night, Zhang Wanru asked Meng Haiyun to have dinner at the hotel.

During this time, Meng Haiyun already knew the identity of Lu Lao, and he was really a great person, and the province also knew that Lu Lao and the two old people were coming to the resort, and told Mayor Meng to receive him wholeheartedly, and the leaders of the province would also go to the airport to pick up people.

After Meng Haiyun saw Wanru, he asked excitedly: "Wanru, how do you know such a big person?" ”

Zhang Wanru knew that she couldn't hide it, and besides, she didn't know it very well, so she smiled and said, "Don't you think he is very similar to someone we know?" ”

"Who?"

"Lu Minghai. Professor Lui. ”

Meng Haiyun immediately laughed, and then said, "Well, that's good. I really remember your reminder. Haha, is this Professor Lu's father? ”

Zhang Wanru looked at him slyly and asked, "That's right." Haha, he has a good impression of you. Squad leader, isn't this gift I gave you interesting? ”

The more Meng Haiyun thought about it, the more excited he became, his face was like a flower blooming, and he smiled, it seemed that his improvement was just around the corner. Glancing at Wanru, I thought to myself, you will definitely ask me for something in return. It's better for me to say it myself.

He looked at her and said, "Your father has also reached retirement age, and he will be exactly fifty-eight years old next year." Your eldest brother will be commissioned. After so many years, her qualifications and abilities are enough. ”

Zhang Wanru nodded and said, "Okay, just retreat, and in the future, I will raise flowers at home and plant his small vegetable garden." However, the captain of the criminal police team is called Lin Guozhong, and he is doing a good job, right? In recent years, many big cases have also been solved. ”

When Meng Haiyun heard it, he understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "That's right." This year, too, he will be burdened. How do you think of him? Is it a relative? ”

Wanru has a very good impression of Lin Guozhong, although she rejected his proposal, it is rare that he can have admiration for him, and he doesn't care that he marries him with three people. This affection is worth helping him a little.

looked at Meng Haiyun with a smile and said, "No." He is my son's martial arts teacher. I heard that he has strong business ability and extraordinary skills, and I learned Tai Chi with Chen Lao. ”

Meng Haiyun knew that Wanru was a loving and righteous person, and she didn't forget to take care of such a relationship.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I know it." I also received a notice from the province that I would send someone to the resort tomorrow to see where it needed to be renovated and send some flowers around the square to decorate it. The city will pay for it, and send people to do the service work, and you can cooperate. ”

Zhang Wanru hurriedly said: "In this matter, you can tell the manager of the resort to do what you ask." I want to go to the United States with my children, my children go to school, and I will spend some time with them. They came over and I was just about to leave. ”

Meng Haiyun stared at her a little disappointedly, and after a long while, he said, "Do you have to leave at this time?" ”

Zhang Wanru said casually: "This matter has been decided a long time ago. You know that Li Na's company has a branch in Italy, where she went to work as a manager and brought her son to school. I also want my two children to go out and see the world. ”

"You. I'm getting more and more unable to see through you. ”

On this day, Zhang Wanru drove to the provincial capital, and asked Lu Mingyu to go to the hospital together, took the contraceptive ring, and did B ultrasound, the child grew up very well, and her belly was already a little bulging. Luckily, in autumn, you can wear a trench coat to cover up.

Walking out of the hospital and getting into the car, Wanru handed the contraceptive ring she took out to Lu Mingyu.

He held it in his hand. He looked left and right, and then smiled and said, "I'm going to keep this forever." This is a testament to history. ”

After saying that, he didn't hesitate to put it in the pocket inside his suit.

Zhang Wanru glanced at him disdainfully, and said lightly: "You are still very proud." Hum! How much do you say you love me? You know, how much sin I'm going to suffer? ”

Lu Mingyu held Wanru's hand and said with a wry smile: "Baby, I know that if you suffer, I will be good to you, and I will never give up for the rest of my life." ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Wanru was on the construction site, made careful arrangements for the part she was responsible for, and came to the construction site for making bricks, doors and windows, and had a meeting with Zhang Yushan and Feng Hongwei. arranged the work, told them that he was going to go abroad for a period of time, and if he had any problems, he would find Ji Yuqing, and he would often call them to communicate.

Zhang Wanru told Ji Yuqing about going abroad again, and Ji Yuqing felt very sudden, so she asked: "The two children went to school, how long do you want to accompany them?" ”

"It won't be long, a year at most, and I will be back in the second half of next year at the earliest. Now the site will be fully completed in the first half of the next year. If you like the land, just call me and I'll take care of it for you. If you're not in a hurry, wait until I get back. ”

"Okay. We want to stay in touch at all times. Alas! When you leave, I really feel like I've lost my backbone. Don't worry, you can stay with your children in the past. I'll take care of the current construction site. ”

At dawn that day, Zhang Wanru woke up on time and didn't get up to go for a morning run, she lay in Lu Mingyu's arm and thought about her thoughts with her eyes closed. Feeling Lu Mingyu's breathing, he knew that he had also woken up.

I heard Lu Mingyu say gently: "Baby, I really don't want to part with you." But in order for us all to be at ease in the future, we can only do this. I will take care of my wife wholeheartedly during this time, but I am very concerned about you. ”

"Okay, don't worry about us. Our family has been through strong winds and waves, and has been refined into steel. Besides, I still have my mother-in-law by my side, and Yulu Yuchen has grown up. Take good care of the sick. Your husband and wife are also fate. Isn't there a saying that 'a thousand years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can be slept together'. Judging from the fact that Sister Shangguan can write you a divorce paper, it shows that she is a kind person; It's also a deep love for you. You have to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband. ”

Lu Mingyu was very moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "My life is so good, the two women who came to my life are very kind. I'll tell you the truth, I was very naughty when I was a kid and did a lot of things out of the ordinary. So my husband didn't like me, but he couldn't help his daughter like me. ”

"Didn't you say you two were classmates?"

"That's right, when we were in high school, the school organized an outing to Badaling. That time she broke her foot and neck, and the teacher saw that I was tall and big, so he asked me to carry her down the mountain. At that time, I carried her down the mountain in a daze. From then on, she used to bring me something delicious, but I didn't mean anything to her. It wasn't until I graduated from college and got a job that his father came to my house to propose. I learned that his father was a great general. ”

Ms. Zhang didn't want to delve into their intricate relationship. It's better to ask something practical, so I divert the topic and ask: "After you return to the capital, who will come here?" ”

"It's a guy named Ye Xin. I'll tell Ji Yuqing about this year's work clothes. For the benefits of the Chinese New Year, I will ask Director Cao to contact your manager Li Hua. ”

"Okay, I want to ask, if possible, arrange for my uncle, he is your matchmaker." Wanru said slyly.

"I know in my heart that he will become my uncle in the future, haha, I always feel very awkward."

After he finished speaking, he scratched her little nose and smiled brightly, and slowly understood Wanru's slippery head.

After several years of experience, she is already a scheming little fox.

Zhang Wanru felt that this guy still didn't want to take the initiative to tell herself about his family background. I really thought I was a big fool and didn't want to pursue the matter. The corners of his left mouth turned up slightly, and he immediately smiled evilly.

looked at him and said, "My second brother has been the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City for four years. He's your child's little uncle. ”

"Stinky girl, if you don't mention it, I'll do it, you can rest assured. What you thought of and what you didn't expect, I will do it for you before leaving. It's just that I can't have children, and if I could, I wouldn't have them for you. ”

The time to go abroad is getting closer. Zhang Wanru was going to leave for a year, and she arranged all units one by one. Especially worried is Zhang Wangcai, who is in charge of managing the resort.

On this day, she came to the resort and called the management staff for a meeting. Especially to the accountant Zhao Ben recommended by his father, he specially admonished him. He also called the cashier Feng Xue and the chef Cao Liang to the office separately to talk.

After Feng Xue arrived, Zhang Wanru told her, "Whoever takes money from you must get them to sign it." And like I've told you before, every day you have to keep a separate notebook of the day's entries and exits. If you have time, you should also keep an eye out for accommodation registration. ”

"Okay, I've been doing what you say. If there is a problem, I will explain it to you on the computer. ”

"Okay, no matter what happens, don't make a noise, there will be a person named Zhang Xuemei after the New Year, and she will also be in charge of the affairs of the resort, you can discuss something with her quietly."

After Cao Liang came in. Before Zhang Wanru could speak, she hurriedly said, "Boss, I really don't understand." Not only does your cousin eat and drink at the resort, but he also wants the best, and sometimes brings a few hard dishes home from the kitchen. It's like this place was originally opened by his family. Do you just indulge like that? ”

Zhang Wanru had already thought of a way, she could only bet on fierce medicine, and she might lose something, which was nothing. Only if you get Zhang Wangcai's real handle can you kick him out. Let the second uncle and uncle be convinced. The main thing is to keep my dad speechless. Otherwise, he will continue to pester himself to arrange a job for him in the future.

smiled slightly and said to him: "Master Cao, I came to you to tell you that in the future, you will not only be in charge of the kitchen, but also take care of all the affairs of the restaurant." Isn't there a saying, 'Don't look at the fun now, be careful to pull the list in the future' to give him a chance to toss. You do what you are responsible for, record all his violations, and I will deal with them when I come back. ”

"Do you mean to let him run rampant? Everybody's talking behind their backs. ”

"It doesn't matter. You can just sit on the sidelines. But be sure to keep a good record of the daily flow. In the future, there will be a person named Zhang Xuemei who will come over. You report to her, and she will take over the resort in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll show you the dining room."
