Chapter 141 Chess Pieces

Xie Lao looked at the fat Ji Yuqing, under the rich sword eyebrows, those beautiful eyes were deep and shrewd. I couldn't help but praise in my heart, 'What a nice young man'.

Sister-in-law Xie remembered the scene when she bought the jade bracelet, and talked to the old man about the price for a long time, but he just didn't let go.

He also repeatedly explained that this jade bracelet is not only the best sheep fat jade in Hetian jade, but also an old object in the palace, especially the workmanship and lettering are out of print.

When I saw the old man at that time, he had a simple and kind face, giving people a very honest impression. I bought it ruthlessly, and the box containing the bracelet was still given to me by saying that it was too bad.

After returning home, Xie Haoran's aunt saw it and repeatedly said that she had been fooled and was not worth so much money at all. I also think I must have been fooled.

After telling his father-in-law, after several days of research by his old man, he said happily that the bracelet is not worth more than 30 million, and this box will not suffer a loss.

Because the wooden box containing the jade bracelet is not only delicate but also inlaid with precious stones, it is still old mahogany, which is very hard and delicate, originally brown, and some black due to age.

Now that I think about it, not only did I not suffer, but I also found my daughter-in-law in the dark.

If it weren't for this little episode, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly with Wanru's in-laws. What kind of looks and conditions like Yulu can't you find?

I remember that after I paid the money, before leaving, the old man said, "You don't lose anything when you buy it, it will bring you good luck."

Now that I think about it, it really made him a prophecy.

Not only the son's marriage has been recognized by Wanru's family. Since cooperating with Wanru, business has become more and more prosperous.

After listening to Sister-in-law Xie's story, Ji Yuqing felt that because of this magical jade bracelet, so many incredible stories had happened.

I am a witness to this pair of jade bracelets, and I am also a real participant.

The jade bracelet not only played the role of Wanru and Sister-in-law Xie's family as a thread, but most importantly, it also made Wanru go from going to the countryside to set up a stall until now becoming the general manager of so many enterprises, and she has walked out of poverty and depression.

Compared with the past, today's Wanru is simply reborn, and she has thrown her own people out of the way several streets economically.

It is said that without contrast, there is no harm.

Among the classmates who came to the Fengcheng party back then, except for Meng Haiyun and Li Na, they have now become a chess piece under her command.

Even though everyone has made a fortune, she will always be the biggest winner.

No wonder grandpa warned himself many times that he must follow Wanru to do things well, it seems that the respected grandfather is indeed a master.

Suddenly, Ji Yuqing felt a sense of frustration in his heart. Are you so bad?

Why can't you be the one who plays chess? For so many years, I have really been a donkey, always playing the role of a green leaf.

After Mayor Han and Mr. Niu arrived, Wanru came to the private room with them and introduced them to each other.

After the greetings, the guests of honor were seated.

Mayor Han talked to Mr. Xie about the development of the city, and they were very harmonious in conversation and laughter.

Wanru saw that Manager Li personally sent over four bottles of Moutai.

smiled and said to Mayor Han: "Mayor Han, Mr. Xie is not only our business partner, but also my quasi-in-law. There are no outsiders today, and it's the New Year, so you can drink a few more glasses. ”

"That's for sure, if you have guests from afar, you should have a few more drinks. You are welcome to come and visit us often. ”

Mayor Han looked at the Xie family and said with a smile.

During the conversation, a series of delicious dishes were served on the table.

With Mayor Han here, the people are very measured, and his temperament, conversation and humorous words make the whole private room full of affection, and everyone talks happily.

The roast lamb on the table, as well as a variety of dishes, is full of aroma; Coupled with the rich aroma of wine, everyone's appetite is greatly increased.

A round of toasts down. Mayor Han always finds the next round of good advice.

Niu always felt Wanru, never mentioned the matter of choosing the land, and peeked at her several times.

Wanru looked at Mr. Xie, pointed at Mr. Niu, and said with a gentle smile: Uncle Xie, I heard that you always know feng shui. This is the general manager of our city iron and steel group. Their company wants to build a dormitory building, and our real estate company will build it.

You come here this time, I want to trouble you to choose a good location. May I?

Xie Lao looked at Wanru, and his words were a little embarrassed.

I thought to myself, this is nothing. Even if we don't have business dealings with each other, we have to help with our grandson's marriage.

smiled very freely and said, "Haha, yes." I also happened to want to stay and see the sights of this famous industrial city. ”

After hearing this, Mayor Han secretly thought to himself, Jiangcheng City was so backward before, and Zhang Bin still built such a high-end and atmospheric office building.

Itself is an old industrial city, and a tourist city. Although the office building is only more than 20 years old, I don't know where to find a mason to build it, not only is it designed like a temple, but there is no elevator.

He looked at Ji Yuqing and thought that they would be able to draw the design. Just let them cover it.

took a sip of the teacup, organized the language, and said to Xie Lao with a smile: "Xie Lao, since you choose a piece of land for them, let's also choose a piece for us, the city also wants to build an office building." ”

"Haha, okay."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xie Lao is already eight points drunk. Brother Xie also drank a lot.

Wanru asked the waiters to serve the meal, and after each person ate a small bowl of noodles. Send the Xie family back to the room to rest.

There was no word all night, and dawn in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Wanru finished washing up and came to the hall on the first floor, and at eight o'clock, the Xie family and Ji Yuqing went downstairs to have breakfast.

Wanru knew that the rich people in Hong Kong City believed in Buddhism, and said to Brother Xu's sister-in-law. "Brother Xu, I will arrange someone to take you to the Nanshan tourist area, there is a thousand-year-old temple on the mountain."

Sister-in-law Xie's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Okay." Since you are here, you have to go to the incense. ”

Wanru asked Manager Li to find a clever waiter to guide the two of them to visit the Nanshan tourist area.

Xie Lao and Wanru, Mayor Han, and Ji Yuqing drove a business car from the capital to the Iron and Steel Group.

After Mr. Niu got into the car, under his leadership, he circled around the steel group twice.

Near noon, Xie Lao took a fancy to a piece of land in the north of the Iron and Steel Group.

After the group got out of the car, Xie Lao pointed around and explained: You see, this land is backed by a mountain, and there are mountains more than ten miles to the east, and the vegetation on the mountains is dense.

There is also a river to the west, as if embracing the land, and there is a dense forest nearby, and the air here is fresh. What's more, whenever the north wind blows, it will blow the smog over the factory to the south, and the community will not be affected.

When everyone heard the old man's analysis, they were all convinced.

Especially Mr. Niu, the more he looks at it, the more he feels that this is a treasure of feng shui.

Seeing that everyone had recognized it, Mr. Xie said to Mr. Niu again: "The gate of the dormitory faces south, and a road is built to connect with that road. The only thing that is not ideal is that it is a bit far from your factory. ”

"Thank you. The more I watched it, the more I liked it, so I decided to be here. We just want to stay away from the factory. Our company has buses. After a day of working in the factory, it is also a pleasure for workers to get home and breathe fresh air. ”

After Mr. Niu finished speaking, he immediately looked at Mayor Han and hurriedly said, "Mayor Han, then trouble you, we want to buy this place as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, tomorrow you come to the city, I'll let them go through the formalities, and then come and measure the land."

The group returned to the steel group, and Mr. Niu asked people to prepare a sumptuous meal.

After lunch, Wanru paid attention to the sky above the factory, it is indeed a smoky miasma, and living in such an environment for a long time is definitely not good for the human body.

Wanru said to Mayor Han beside her: "Fortunately, the steel group is in the mountains, and the coal mine is far away from the city. Otherwise, Fengcheng City would have suffered greatly. Even if the power plant is not built in a good place, it should be far away from the city. ”

Mayor Han said lightly: "Industrial cities need a lot of electricity. In addition, when the power plant was built, it was also for the convenience of transporting coal, and it was not close to the city at that time. It's just that in recent years, the city has expanded rapidly, and the power plant has been enclosed in the urban area. ”

Bidding farewell to Mr. Niu, Ji Yuqing drove and drove slowly around Fengcheng City. After driving a lap, he returned to the east of the city, and Xie Lao asked to get out of the car to take a look.

Mayor Han pointed to various buildings, living quarters, industrial parks, campuses, etc. and explained to Mr. Xie.

After hearing this, Xie Lao watched from time to time, and then stood on a high place to visually inspect. After nearly half an hour, Xie Lao pointed to a place in the suburbs and said, "It's the most suitable place here." ”

When Mayor Han saw that it was a suburb, he felt very incomprehensible and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

Xie Lao smiled indifferently and said: Don't look at this place outside the urban area, if the city wants to develop a plan, it can only expand to the east.

You see there is a small lake in the north, surrounded by lush trees, the terrain here is high, and the view is good, if you build a building of about 10 floors, you can see the whole city.

When conditions permit, make a small park with that small lake as the theme. Trim that river and it's even more perfect.

The high-speed rail is in the north, and the distance between here and the high-speed rail station is not particularly far. The main thing is to get out of the polluted range of the power plant. The designer of your current office building is simply amazing. Government offices are built like temples.

Mayor Han saw the municipal party committee building, which was set off even lower by the high-rise buildings of several nearby communities.

He once heard Zhang Bin say that when Jiangcheng City built an office building, he also asked Ji Yuqing's grandfather to plan the roads in the city.

According to the instructions of the old man, some streets and main roads were re-widened and repaired, and the roads extended in all directions, and the roads were clearly distinguished.

Now it seems that the old man's words also make sense.

After all these years, not only did everything go smoothly in Jiangcheng, but two mayors were mentioned at one time, and Zhang Bin also went to the provincial party committee.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Xie Lao, "Okay." We built the municipal party committee office building here. I'd also like to show you the way around the city. ”

Back in the city, there were Xie Lao and Mayor Han, and Ji Yuqing went around the city.

Wanru got out of the car and went home to visit her parents. and told Ji Yuqing that he would bring Xie Lao and them to eat at home at dinner.

Wanru returned home, saw her parents, and told them that Xie Haoran's parents and grandfather had come to Fengcheng City and came to the house for guests in the evening.

Zhang Fakui looked at his daughter, after so many years, she was still as young as she was in her twenties, and felt very strange. His two sons both have gray hair.

He said to his daughter sitting opposite: "Yuchen and Yulu will graduate from college next year." Listening to Yu Chen, when he comes back, he will go to be a soldier. Do you know? ”

"Yes. He and Xie Haoran are going. But now the Xie family doesn't seem to know. When they come to the house, don't mention it yet. ”

Zhang Fakui rolled his eyes at his daughter.

I thought to myself, this girl is really nervous. For such a major matter, she only used two words to pass it lightly.

Wang Cuiping looked at Wanru and said, "Helen, who returned to China with us this time, is a very good girl. She has been pursuing Yu Chen, but Yu Chen is pretending to be confused. I asked him privately, and he said he didn't want to find a foreign girl. And I'm not in a hurry to find a partner. ”

Wanru also saw it in the past few days of contact with Helen.

smiled faintly and said, "Yuchen and Yulu are only twenty years old this year. Let the children's marriage be decided by themselves, and I won't interfere much. ”

He squinted at his father again, and thought to himself, My marriage was decided by a joke you made at the wine table. Only then did I encounter it.

Wang Cuiping asked again: "After Yulu graduates, do you want to stay in the capital?" ”

"I'll get her back and manage the hotels and resorts. I'll talk about that later. ”

During the Spring Festival, Zhang Fakui heard his sons talk about Zhang Wangcai, and thought of Wanru giving her nephews and nieces shares. Originally, I also wanted to ask Wanru for shares and give them to Wangcai's son.

After hesitating, I still didn't muster up the courage to say it. This stinky girl, except for Zhang Wangcai, is very good to everyone. It's really a lifelong enemy.

If Zhang Fakui really said it, Wanru really wouldn't agree.

Between Zhang Wangcai and Wanru, it can be described as freezing three feet, not a day's cold, and the reason why Wanru helped them was only because of the father-daughter relationship with Zhang Fakui.

Wanru called and asked the hotel manager Li to cook eight dishes for them and deliver them to her parents' house.

In the evening, Ji Yuqing and the Xie family came.

Zhang Fakui and his wife enthusiastically let them into the living room.

Sister-in-law Xie and Wanru's parents are very familiar.

Every year, she goes to visit her son Xie Haoran in the United States, and every time she lives with Wanru's parents.

Zhang Fakui has been in the United States for many years, because of the language, it seems that he rarely communicates with outsiders, and soon gets along well with the Xie family's father and son.

Dishes brought from the hotel are put on the table. Wanru invited everyone to talk while eating.

Ji Yuqing whispered to Wanru: "Mayor Han asked me to ask you, can I take Xie Lao to the scenic spot we want to develop tomorrow." Maybe he'll give us some advice. ”

Wanru had actually already thought about it, and she would go over with them tomorrow morning to visit, but she didn't think about how to speak.

asked, "Have you told him about the scenic spot?" ”

"Yes. But he didn't say anything about the things that invited him to pass. ”

"Okay. I'll figure it out. ”

The next morning, the commercial vehicle was driving on the road to the scenic spot.

When the car came to the place where the viewing lake was made, the construction tools had already been brought here. with a portion of raw materials.

After everyone got out of the car, they came to a prominent place and looked down.

Ji Yuqing introduced this place to Mr. Xie to do a thing to intercept the lake.

Many cement pillars were built underneath and cement slabs were laid on top to form a lakeside path. Then make the guardrail and the water pavilion.

After the guardrail is made, the road surface is smoothed with cement and a layer of green asphalt is prepared to be applied to it.

After hearing this, Xie Lao nodded frequently, knowing that this viewing lake must be Wanru's idea. This is a replica of the resort.

This girl has a unique vision and knows that tourism is indispensable to water, and water is the soul of the scenic spot.

Once in the car, continue to drive forward.

Stopped in front of the mountain where the Buddha was made, and the group got out of the car again.

Ji Yuqing took out the drawings and told Xie Lao about the planning of the scenic spot.

Xie Lao pointed to the big Buddha on the picture and said, "Let's go to the mountain and have a look." Stand tall to see far. ”

Because Xie Lao is old, it took more than an hour to go up the mountain, and he came directly to the top of the mountain where he was a big Buddha.

Wanru took out the pot she had prepared for travel from her backpack, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Xie Lao, who was sitting on a stone.

And with a paper cup, give each person a cup.

Ji Yuqing took out the drawings, pointed to the three connected mountain tops on the drawings, and talked about the two observation pavilions and the Big Buddha, as well as the glass pontoon bridge to be made.

Xie Lao's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he said with a smile: "Very good, it is very reasonable to do this on the mountain." ”

After drinking tea, Xie Lao stood up and looked at Nanshan from afar, and saw the dense pine trees on the hillside, as well as the towering and strange peaks, and his heart was full of emotion.

I couldn't help but blurt out: "This is indeed a beautiful place!" ”

Wanru lost no time in telling him about the old red area here.

Then he said: "There are too many memories in this mountainous area, and the people here are simple and kind. We develop tourist attractions in order to make the people living here live a better life; Let the history of the old red district be revealed to tourists. It makes people remember that in times of war, the military and civilians have a deep affection for each other. ”

When Mr. Xie heard Wanru's eloquent speech, he also felt that the development of this mountainous area was of far-reaching significance.

He squinted his eyes at the large area of land under the mountain, and then said to Wanru and Ji Yuqing: "Since you are making a big Buddha on this mountain, you must remember that the monument under the mountain must not face the big Buddha, that is, the two cannot be in the same straight line. ”

Ji Yuqing hurriedly asked, "What is the most suitable position?" ”

"You have to stagger more than ten meters to the west. After making a square around the monument, plant more pine trees, and make a garden around it as you want. ”

After hearing this, Wanru felt that it was too wise to call his old man over.

Old Xie looked to the south and continued, "Your planning is very good, the zoo is at the foot of the mountain in the southwest. There is no need to move the South Mountain, from a distance, the scenery is pleasant, the peculiar peaks are the best scenery, and it is good to keep its original appearance. ”

The fiery red sun, as if pulled by an invisible rope, slowly rose into the sky. The early spring sun brings warmth to this mountainous area.

Standing on the top of the mountain, gusts of mountain wind blew from time to time, lifting everyone's clothes and blowing away everyone's hair.

With every step, everyone is dressed in fluttering clothes, like immortals who have just fallen into the mortal dust.

By the side of Xie Lao, a master with fairy wind and bones, he can also experience the immortal demeanor that is out of the world.

After more than an hour, everyone returned to the bottom of the mountain, and Xie Lao walked to the canyon where the glass pontoon bridge was to be made, and looked up.

Then he smiled and said, "Haha, it's like being split by a magic axe." It's magical. My hometown is in the south, and I went back to my hometown three years ago to worship my ancestors and went to our tourist attractions there. Also take the elevator up the hill. ”

There is a saying that 'the drum does not need to be beaten with a hammer'. After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Wanru.

Wanru immediately understood the old man's intentions, and said with a smile: "What you mean is that you also make an elevator here, right?" ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled happily.

Then he said: "Although the mountain here is not as high as ours, there is a big Buddha on the mountain, and as long as people come here, they will go up the mountain to see it." Elderly people like us, because of physical reasons, will be discouraged with regrets. If there were elevators, it would be completely different. will be full of joy and worthwhile for this trip. ”

Wanru and Ji Yuqing looked at each other and smiled.

Ji Yuqing hurriedly said: "Haha, your old suggestion is too powerful." The next time you visit, you're sure to see something different. ”
