Chapter 109 [Inside and Outside the City]

"My God, you're really a flippant. Didn't I hear you swearing in the air? I told you how to tell you what to do in Taishan? How could I encourage the villagers to raise funds to build roads and hotels? Now I've gotten in, and you don't admit it?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "That's because you want to take advantage of it. You want to make a fortune through this matter. How can you be cheated if you are not greedy?"

Liu Chuankui was so angry that he opened his mouth and pointed at him with a dry tobacco. He hadn't spoken for a long time.

Du Yufeng lay on the car window and smiled, "Old Secretary, you are practicing verbalism with him. Isn't this arrogance? Get in the car quickly, we are still rushing up the mountain."

Even though Liu Chuankui scolded him, his relationship with Zhang Yang and others was still very deep. Although he complained, he knew in his heart that this matter was not something that Zhang Yang could control. Zhang Yang told him that the news was for him and the village.

After parked the car behind the village, a group of people headed straight to Qingyun Peak. Old Mrs. Su insisted on leaving by herself. Although the old lady was old, her legs were still quite straight, which brought Niu Wenqiang and Zhao Xinwei, two guys who did not exercise frequently, to a long distance.

Zhang Yang and Liu Chuankui walked side by side behind Mrs. Su. After Liu Chuankui learned about Mrs. Su's identity, he felt a little more appreciation and respect for Zhang Yang. When Li Changyu was in power, Zhang Yang took Old Lady Su for granted. But now Li Changyu is memorizing, Zhang Yang can still treat Old Lady Su like a relative. This is very rare. Such a person is righteous and such a person can be friends.

On the way, Zhang Yang told Liu Dazhu to open a hotel with him. After hearing this, Liu Chuankui smoked a dry cigarette. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I don't have a boy in my family yet. Let this kid go out. Who will pass on my family?"

The reason for the old branch secretary really made people laugh and cry.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Dazhu has such a good craftsmanship. Wouldn't it be a waste if you let him stay in this mountain valley all day? Besides, I think your Liu family may have a feng shui problem. If you ask him to go to Beijing with me, take some dragon energy, maybe you can plant a fat grandson for you when you come back." But he sighed in his heart, Liu Chuankui's persistence. He was not satisfied with having so many granddaughters. He must have a grandson to be willing to be willing, so family planning work in the countryside is not ordinary.

It was difficult to do it. When I was the acting director of the family planning office in Heishanzi Township, I encountered many obstacles. It was natural to think about it when I looked back. If I was doing family planning at the grassroots level, it would be difficult to move forward if I was justified in everything. I had to use some tough methods. However, Zhang Daguan no longer cared about this and it was not up to me. How much Liu Chuankui wanted to have was the current director of the family planning office and had nothing to do with him, the director of the Beijing office.

Old Mrs. Su was very stubborn and insisted on walking from Shangqinghe Village to Qingyun Peak. However, the old woman was healthy and the group came to Zixia Temple in Qingyun Peak in less than three hours.

The old Taoist Li Xinyi was playing chess with Chen Chongshan on the sun in the courtyard. Seeing them coming, they stopped temporarily and stood up to greet them.

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, I haven't seen you go up the mountain for a long time. How about it? Are people working in Beijing still used to it?"

Zhang Yang nodded and asked Li Xinyi to accompany Mrs. Su to burn incense. He followed Chen Chongshan to the ginkgo tree on the west side of the Taoist temple and whispered: "Mr. Chen, I gave that letter to Du Shankui. I didn't expect you were comrades in the past."

Chen Chongshan smiled indifferently: "It's been decades, and everyone's choices are not clear, and the life they want is different. I have forgotten what he looks like now." The credibility of these words is very low, so how can they easily forget their friendship of life and death?

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "By the way, I brought their family photo here, you can see!"

Chen Chongshan took the photo from Zhang Yang's hand, looked carefully, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay, very good. I was happy to see their family harmonious and beautiful." After reading it, he carefully put the photo away.

Zhang Yang said again: "Are you familiar with Chu Zhennan?"

Chen Chongshan nodded: "We are also comrades-in-arms. At that time, we were both subordinates of Lao Du. Chu Zhennan was a famous general. If he hadn't had a little irritable temper and could easily offend people, his achievements should be greater than Lao Du." After saying that, he smiled and said: "I am not in line with Chu Zhennan. He is a military general. I can barely be considered a civil servant. Often, it will start to quarrel after saying a few words. He can't stand the hypocritical taste of my intellectuals. I can't stand the rash aura on him, so I broke off contact since the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. Although I knew he was in Beiyuan, I never had the chance to meet him."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If you have the chance, how about I arrange for you to meet?"

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "In fact, some feelings are the best in memory. Meeting each other may not last long. At my age, what I want to live most is a free life. Whether it is happiness or pain, memories are precious to me."

Zhang Yang quietly savored Chen Chongshan's words, always feeling that there was something else in his words, but he couldn't guess what he was saying for a moment.

Old Lady Su burned incense very devoutly, and the old Taoist priest unveiled a sign for her. Although Zhang Yang didn't know what sign the old lady was asking for, judging from her relaxed expression, the old Taoist priest should have given her a lot of comfort.

Niu Wenqiang, Zhao Xinwei, Du Yufeng, and Jiang Liang were all idle and playing poker under the stone table of the big tree. Liu Chuankui stood by and watched, pointing fingers from time to time, causing Du Yufeng to coax him away like a little chick.

After finishing his work, Li Xinyi waved to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang followed him to the stele pavilion in the distance. The old Taoist priest called Zhang Yang over alone to learn about the matter of An Hong Kong. Although he did not want to recognize An Zhiyuan, his half-brother, he was a close relative after all. After hearing that the Qingtaishan tourism project suddenly stopped, he guessed that there was something wrong with An’s family and was always worried.

Zhang Yang did not hide it from him, and told her what happened in the An family in Hong Kong. After hearing this, Li Xinyi looked solemn and couldn't help but sigh: "Injustice, injustice, I didn't expect that the evil committed in my previous life will be repaid in this life." In the Taoist sect, he believed that the retribution of the law of nature was unhappy. His father, An Dahusband, was a bandit in Qingtai Mountain, killed countless people and owed countless blood debts. Today, the tragedy of An's family was regarded as a retribution of the cycle of cause and effect.

Zhang Yang has already known the An family because he has experienced this incident himself. If others don’t say it, Andyon, who just left Taiwan, would never give up. He left Hong Kong just because the situation was forced. Once the time was ripe, Andyon would definitely return to Hong Kong and get the blood debt back to his own hands.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Shangqinghe Village. Liu Dazhu had already slaughtered sheep and boiled water at the foot of the mountain to prepare dinner. When he saw Zhang Yang, he heard that he would take him to Beijing to open a hotel. Liu Dazhu was also very excited. There was another big man who didn't want to go out to see the world and start a career. In the past, he had the idea of ​​opening a hotel more than once, but was stopped by the old man. Now he finally got the old man's consent. Liu Dazhu's inner joy was indescribable, so he worked very hard when doing work.

Old Mrs. Zhang Yang Fusu went to the room to rest. Seeing that it was still early, she called Chu Yanran. This time she returned to Chunyang and had not met her yet, but after calling several times, Chu Yanran's cell phone was always turned off. The guy felt a little empty in his heart, his mind was filled with Chu Yanran's every frown and smile, and the longing for her in his heart grew rapidly like mushrooms after a rain.

Zhang Yang always treats feelings as he pleases and rarely considers what to do in the future. But Hailan, Zuo Xiaoqing, and Chu Yanran avoid him one by one, which made him think about this matter. Women in this era are different from the past. They have a strong possessive desire for feelings. Everyone wants to monopolize this relationship, but Zhang Daguan Ren wants to have each of them. He wants to have everything, and he wants to get it both, but he is afraid it will take some thought.

While this guy was thinking hard, Gu Jiatong called, and Gu Jiatong told him good news on the phone. The province had decided to lift the double regulations on Li Changyu and would not arrange his work for the time being, so he would let him rest for a while before talking. Gu Jiatong learned the news through Xia Boda. Xia Boda is a person who likes to sell favors. After he learned the news from Gu Yunzhi, the first person he told was Gu Jiatong. He not only had to have a good relationship with Gu Yunzhi himself, but also had a good relationship with everyone in the Gu family. Only in this way can Gu Yun realize that he is his own person. Let everyone in the Gu family regard themselves as relatives. Since he has become the role of the general manager, he must play this role to the end.

After Zhang Yang repeatedly confirmed this incident with Gu Jiatong, he hung up the phone excitedly. No matter what job Li Changyu takes in the future, lifting the double-regulation means that the superiors will no longer continue to hold him accountable in the past. This is a good sign. He was not in a hurry to tell Old Lady Su the news. After all, the old lady is old, so it is better to stimulate her less. It is better to wait for Li Changyu to go over and tell her about this kind of thing.

Li Changyu walked out of the Luanshan Hotel on Monday morning. He had not had a haircut or shaved for nearly a month. He was wearing a military coat given to him by the investigation team, and carrying a travel bag filled with his changing clothes and daily necessities in his hand. He slowly walked out of the Luanshan Hotel's gate. Although he had lost a lot of weight, his eyes became more and more firm. He looked up at the rising sun in the east, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

For Li Changyu, this was a brand new day. He came to a nearby department store and called his home first. When Zhu Hongmei heard his voice, she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs: "You still have the face to call, you are shameless. I want to divorce you. The divorce agreement has been written, and I will wait for you to sign it."

Li Changyu's expression was calm and calm, as if he had known the result for a long time. He said calmly: "I agree, I will sign it immediately when I get home!" When he hung up the phone and wanted to dial the second number, he hesitated for a while, put down the phone again, got up to pay, and then went out to stop a taxi.

When Li Changyu rang the doorbell of Ge Chunli, he felt extremely nervous and uneasy. During the month when he was under double supervision, all contacts with the outside world had been interrupted. He didn't know what happened outside. He didn't know whether this storm had affected Ge Chunli and whether Ge Chunli had changed him.

After five minutes of the doorbell ringing, no one came to open the door. Li Changyu threw the travel bag on the ground with some fatigue, took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of his coat, and lit it. He heard a crisp sound behind him, turned around, but saw Ge Chunli standing on the stairs, and the steel pot in her hand fell to the ground because she couldn't hold it. She was wearing a dark blue suit and lost a lot of weight. Her round face turned into a melon seed shape. Her eyes turned red in an instant, and the crystal tears trembled in her eyes. She pursed her cherry lips and bit her hard, but in the end she could not control her inner emotions. The tears were irresistible.

Li Changyu called her name softly.

Then Ge Chunli rushed over like a dream, hugging his body tightly, and pounding her fist hard on Li Changyu's chest. Her excitement made her speechless, so she could only express it in this way. Li Changyu hugged her tightly, kissed her hair, and her eyes turned red. She kept calling her name in a low voice. After a long time, Ge Chunli spread her arms and hugged him, and buried her pretty face on his chest and started to whimper.

Li Changyu comforted softly: "Okay... Everything is fine, I'm back..."

Ge Chunli raised her pretty face full of tears: "I have been waiting for you. If you don't come back, I will wait forever..."

An unspeakable emotion blocked Li Changyu's throat. At this moment, his feelings became particularly fragile. He hugged Ge Chunli tightly: "I won't let you wait any longer..."

Zhang Yang and Qin Qing sat side by side on the plane flying to Beijing. Qin Qing's eyes were always looking out the porthole. The wings of the plane were shining with silver metallic brilliance in the sun. The clouds in various shapes were within reach. Qingtaishan tourism development incident finally became clear and the clouds disappeared as Li Changyu lifted the double regulations. This incident passed. Qin Qing was the most innocent of the double regulations, but she was the least affected. After all, except for the Qingtaishan incident, no problems were found in Qin Qing. After the investigation team lifted her double regulations, she immediately resumed her normal work. She was not in a hurry to return to her job. She had nearly a month to study at the Party School. Taking advantage of this period, she had to adjust her mood and strive to return to her past state.

Zhang Yang understood Qin Qing. Qin Qing's strength was not just superficial, but also strong inside. After the baptism of this political storm, Qin Qing would go further and walk more steadily in his career in the future. This double regulation made Zhang Yang discover one thing that Qin Qing no longer escaped him like in the past. In fact, both of them knew the other's feelings in their hearts, but Qin Qing was an extremely rational person. She could control her feelings well. Zhang Daguan's enthusiasm had to remain a little calm in the face of Qin Qing's rationality. He found that he had begun to slowly learn to wait and endure.

Zhang Yang leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes. Qin Qing quietly turned around, thinking that Zhang Yang was asleep, so he asked the flight attendant for a blanket and carefully covered Zhang Yang. Zhang Daguan closed his eyes and enjoyed Qin Qing's consideration and care for him. An inexplicable warmth was cleaning up in his heart. Sometimes, love was not necessarily vigorous and vigorous, and this silent feeling of moistening things can penetrate people's hearts more.

During this period, Zhang Yang has been actively working for Qin Qing and Li Changyu, and has no time to take care of his own affairs. After the incident, he gradually calmed down. The reason why he was so nervous was because he regarded Qin Qing as his lover and Li Changyu as his relative. With his temperament, he would never watch them fall into trouble and ignore them. Politically, Li Changyu was his guide and his backer. Keeping them was equivalent to keeping his smooth career. However, Zhang Yang really didn't expect that it was so far away. His help to Li Changyu and Qin Qing came from the bottom of his heart and did not take any interests into consideration.

He opened his eyes and found that Qin Qing was still looking at him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you have any words on my face? You're so fascinated?"

Qin Qing smiled gently and said, "I'm thinking, I never seemed to say thank you to you!"

Zhang Yang stretched and sat up straight: "Does it cost between you and me?"

Qin Qinghei's long eyelashes drooped slightly: "Zhang Yang, please agree, can you devote your energy to your work?" This sentence is both a reminder and a request. She understands herself. If she continues to develop like this, one day her emotional defense line will completely collapse, but she also understands that she needs to calm down in front of her and that she cannot act emotionally.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I'm over-energy, and my work alone can no longer satisfy me." His implication is that he needs other things to satisfy himself.

Whenever this guy teases him, Qin Qing will pretend to be unrelated to him and sigh softly, "I'm a little sleepy, wake me up when I land!"

Looking at Qin Qing who was sleeping, Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly. The relationship between him and Qin Qing was always so subtle. Although Qin Qing no longer rejected him as clearly as before, he did not open his arms and accept him. Zhang Daguanren realized that the revolution had not yet succeeded and comrades still needed to work hard.

When he returned to the Beijing Office, he saw that a shed had been built in the yard of the Beijing Office. When he was in Jiangcheng, Gu Jiatong had already told him by phone that the hotel decoration project had started and that the decoration was completed within two months and then open to the public.

Qin Qing was not very interested in the tertiary industry in Beijing. He only took a look and went to the room arranged by Yu Xiaodong to rest without even asking.

Zhang Yang went to the construction site curiously and took a look. As soon as he walked in, a foreman with a yellow safety helmet walked over to him and shouted fiercely: "What are you doing? Do you have a safety concept? This is the construction site, and it is your place to play. Who is responsible for the broken head?"

Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing: "This is my own home, I can't walk around anymore?"

"Your family is not good either. Safety is the first priority. Go! Go! Go out quickly!"

Just as he was driving Zhang Yang out, Gu Jiatong, wearing a red windbreaker, walked in. When she saw Zhang Yang, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said with a slight angriness in surprise: "When did you come back? Why didn't you say anything?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Just just arrived, I was about to go inside and take a look. This master was selfless and coaxing me out!"

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "Old Zhang, this is Director Zhang from the Beijing Office. Don't offend him, otherwise you won't want the salary."

Lao Zhang is extremely serious and said with a serious face: "If you don't pay a salary, you have to be aware of safety. If you want to go in and have a look, you must wear a hard hat!" He took two hard hats and handed them to them.

Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong wore hard helmets and walked in under the guidance of Lao Zhang. After a few days of the renovation project, they are now mainly divided into two parts. The original courtyard is divided into two parts. The division of the two parts is not evenly distributed. The area occupied by the hotel should be about two-thirds. There is only a small part left in the Beijing Office. However, in terms of their previous reception volume, the remaining places are enough to use.

Gu Jiatong introduced her decoration concept to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was not very interested in these things, but just proposed not to make it too luxurious and try to decorate it with a rural wild taste, such as hanging some red peppers, garlic, corn on the cob. If the city people can feel like entering the countryside, they will feel a psychological contrast, thus creating a sense of novelty, and the purpose of decoration will be achieved.

Gu Jiatong basically agrees with this guy's point of view, but in real operation, it still takes some effort to satisfy the desire of the majority of guests to be curious, and to make the place warm and elegant. Simply put, it is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. According to Gu Jiatong's established design, after decoration, there will be a hall that can accommodate hundreds of people to eat at the same time, and twenty-five private rooms will be separated. This scale is already considered medium. As for the chef, she has also prepared two teams. Although Liu Dazhu's full sheep banquet is good, he cannot be the main focus. After all, Liu Dazhu is not a professional chef. The main purpose of asking him is to show the characteristics of the hotel.

Judging from Gu Jiatong's attention to this matter, she still has great hope for the hotel. After hearing her outline a grand blueprint for an hour, Zhang Yang couldn't help but remind Gu Jiatong: "Sister Jiatong, I haven't eaten a bite of food since I got off the plane. Can we have a meal first?"

Gu Jiatong smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just talking so hard, I forgot that you haven't eaten yet. Let's go, I'll invite you out for dinner!"

Zhang Yang pointed downstairs and said, "I asked Yu Xiaodong to prepare the meal."

"Get messy, go out and eat!"

Zhang Yang nodded. He originally wanted to invite Qin Qing to go with him, but think about Qin Qing's position as the county magistrate since he entered the Beijing office, and deliberately distanced himself from him to avoid being irrelevant. He would probably make things boring when he went to find her. Besides, Gu Jiatong may not like to see Qin Qing. He said to Yu Xiaodong and got into Gu Jiatong's green beetle.

Gu Jiatong is already familiar with the road conditions in Beijing. She took Zhang Yang straight to Qianmen to eat 点口. There are a lot of snacks in Qianmen. The most famous one is Feng Baidu in Erzhao Hutong in Qianmen Langfang.

Zhang Yang stayed in Beijing for a while and had heard of this old shop many times, but he had never had the chance to taste it. The two of them came to a small shop full of people, but they saw the black plaque of the shop with five big words "Halal Breathing Breath" written in gold paint. Although it was not yet half past five in the evening, it was already full. After waiting for fifteen minutes, the two were arranged to sit down. Most of the tourists who came here to eat were tourists who came here, and many of them ordered mutton hotpot.

Gu Jiatong ordered two portions of sausage and ordered another shabu. The wine was a bottle of Wuliangye that she brought. Because the shop was crowded and it was too noisy, the two had to speak loudly.

Zhang Yang briefly told Gu Jiatong what happened this time. What Gu Jiatong was most concerned about was the dispute between her younger brother in Jiangcheng. The final result of the matter was still satisfactory. She still blamed Zhang Yang a little: "You can't take care of him more. Although he is older than you, he can act like a child."

Zhang Yang said while drinking: "I want to care about him, but I treat him as my brother-in-law, and he doesn't treat me as my brother-in-law. By the way, we have that fact, but we don't have that position, right?"

Gu Jiatong blushed and knocked on his forehead with chopsticks, and said softly: "If you have that fact, you are his brother-in-law, you should take good care of him." Her tone was somewhat powerless and she felt shy.

Zhang Yang heard it as if he was bathed in spring breeze. Their legs were intertwined under the table, and their eyes were facing each other, revealing ambiguous and entangled emotions.

Gu Jiatong didn't drink. She took a sip of juice and said, "There is something I can't figure out. How did you get Mingjian into trouble in Dihao? Have you used any tricks?" Gu Jiatong still had some doubts about Zhang Yang deliberately pulled Mingjian into this matter.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, Jiatong, I can't cheat anyone, my brother-in-law. This is a pure coincidence."

Gu Jiatong gave Zhang Yang a blank look, but her heart was very warm. She whispered to remind Zhang Yang: "Don't participate in Jiangcheng's affairs. I heard from Director Xia that Li Changyu's problem has been solved. Let him take a break for a while. Work matters will be arranged soon."

Zhang Yang said: "Don't worry, I know how to behave. Recently, my focus will be on the Beijing Office and the hotels we cooperate with, and strive to achieve some political achievements. I can get promoted as soon as possible."

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "I have long seen that you are an official fan. What? The director of the Beijing Office can no longer satisfy you?"

Zhang Yang whispered: "Only you can satisfy me!"

Gu Jiatong expected that this guy would start to get off the road after three words. Her face turned red and she gently bit her cherry lips and said, "Eat quickly, I'll take you to a place!"

The place where Gu Jiatong took Zhang Yang to was Royal Garden. She just bought a property in Beijing. Due to work needs, Gu Jiatong has been spending more time in Beijing recently. If it is not convenient to stay in a hotel for a long time, although Zhang Yang's Beijing office can arrange accommodation, after all, there are many people and eyes. Gu Jiatong doesn't want the relationship between them to be known to outsiders. After considering it, she decided to buy a house in Beijing.

This three-bedroom and two-living house is a total of 150 square meters. It was originally bought by a Taiwanese businessman. He had not moved in after decoration. Because he changed his mind and invested in it in Shanghai, he decided to sell the house. After Gu Jiatong got the news, she spent 500,000 yuan to buy it. The price was quite appropriate.
To be continued...
