Chapter 231 [Head Pillar Incense](2/2)

Peng Junxiang said: "I also know that the opportunity is good. The town of Yuji is the leader of Dongjiang's catering industry. There are many people who want to intervene. But Fang Wennan gave up the catering industry and devoted himself to the construction of the Third Ring Road. Who will be the first to win the future of Jiangcheng catering industry? Qiao Mengyuan's transformation of the imperial heroic times has been carried out with great fanfare. She is working in Yayun Lake to build a first-class catering place in Jiangcheng. We must have competition."

Chang Hailong frowned when he heard Qiao Mengyuan's name: "Qiao Mengyuan? Is it Mr. Qiao's granddaughter?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

Chang Hailong said: "So, Boss Peng's competitor will be her in the future?"

Peng Junxiang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't want to compete with her. I just wanted to open up the signboard of others on the water. Everyone has money to make money, and they make money. Competitive things like that harm others and not benefit themselves. What's the point?" He didn't want to, but he didn't dare to do it at all. How could Qiao Mengyuan's background be comparable to that of an ordinary businessman?

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Parents are enemies. Even if you don't want to compete, they will definitely compete with you. Who will be the first golden signboard of Jiangcheng Catering in the future will probably be between you two."

Peng Junxiang sighed in his heart. Judging from Zhang Yang's intention, he wanted to use his water family to suppress Qiao Mengyuan. In fact, although the hotel is called Shuishu, most of the shares belong to Gu Jiatong. Peng Junxiang is only a small shareholder. He felt that he was very likely to be used as a gun by Zhang Yang, but this was impossible. With tempting interests in front of him, no one would give up. If he didn't want to be used as a gun by others, there would be more people who wanted to squeeze in.

According to the plan of Chang Hailong and Peng Junxiang, they will go to Jiangcheng for on-site inspection tonight. Zhang Yang heard their arrangements and decided to take their ride. On the weekend, Chang Haixin had nothing to do. She also went to Jiangcheng with her and went to Nanlin Temple to visit the Buddha's relics.

Then Zhang Yang remembered that tomorrow was the day when the Nanlin Temple scenic area was completed and the guests were welcomed in full. He quickly called Monk Sanbao and asked him to arrange tomorrow's affairs. Monk Sanbao was like a god to Director Zhang. He told Zhang Yang on the phone that tomorrow is the first day of the tenth lunar month, and the Nanlin Temple will perform a great ritual and will not be opened to the public before noon. The purpose is to take care of the leaders of the municipal party committee. This guy secretly told Zhang Yang that the incense stick was left to the acting mayor Zuo Aiding Korea. However, if Zhang Yang went back tonight, he could arrange for Zhang Yang to enter Nanlin Temple in advance and burn incense in front of the mayor. Anyway, as long as they didn't say it, no one would know.

Zhang Yang deeply agreed with the proposal of Monk Sanbao. Although this guy is a monk, he is really versatile and well-behaved when doing things. The Chang brothers and sisters are VIP guests when they go to Jiangcheng. On such an important day, Zhang Yang arranged for them to burn incense sticks, which is a great favor.

Chang Haixin didn't care about any incense sticks, but Chang Hailong was a businessman, and he valued these things very much. When Zhang Yang talked about this, he became excited and urged them to get on the road as early as possible. However, Peng Junxiang still had some things to deal with, so Zhang Yang had to return the borrowed Mercedes-Benz to Guoan. He delayed a few times and it was not until after 8 o'clock in the evening.

It was already midnight when he arrived in Jiangcheng. Chang Hailong was thinking about the incense sticks, so he didn't go to the hotel and drove directly to Nanlin Temple. Zhang Yang greeted Monk Sanbao in advance, and Sanbao was waiting at the side door. Peng Junxiang was a standard Christian and he did not enter the temple. So Zhang Yang took the brother and sister Chang Hailong and followed Monk Sanbao to Nanlin Temple.

Monk Sanbao whispered: "It's just my turn tonight. I've thought about it. It's the most suitable opportunity for Director Zhang to leave this incense stick. If our Nanlin Temple is today, Director Zhang has made the greatest contribution!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Master Sanbao's skill in flattering has become more and more diligent!"

Monk Sanbao and Zhang Yang were used to teasing him and said with a wry smile: "Monks do not lie, but the Buddha can see the merits of Director Zhang!" He led Zhang Yang and the other two to the Main Hall. Chang Hailong invited incense and respectfully knelt in front of the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni. What he asked for was wealth.

Zhang Yang stood aside and smiled and watched the Chang brothers and sisters burn incense. Monk Sanbao whispered: "Director Zhang must not tell the story of the incense, so that Mayor Zuo will know that he will definitely be unhappy."

Zhang Yang was secretly happy and thought that Zuo Yuanchao would come to burn incense tomorrow, surrounded by everyone. He would never have thought that he would run back from Dongjiang overnight and steal his first prize.

Chang Hailong was very generous in his actions and donated 8,000 yuan in merit. Monk Sanbao wanted to fool him with a few words, but after looking at Zhang Yang beside him, he immediately stopped thinking.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning when Chang Hailong and his sister were arranged to stay in the municipal government with one move. Zhang Yang did not go back, so he opened a room and stayed overnight with one move.

The opening time of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area is set to be at 12 noon. The city leaders who had made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area had arrived before 10 o'clock. Acting mayor Zuo Aid Korea, Executive Vice Mayor Li Changyu, and Wenyuan District Mayor Qian Changjian all attended the opening ceremony.

Zhang Yang also brought Chang Haixin to join in the fun. On this occasion, Zhang Daren, a deputy department-level cadre, had to be in the back, but he was relieved. Anyway, the incense stick of the head was burned last night, so if the Buddha had any care, he would definitely take care of them first.

After Zuo Yuan Dynasty delivered a passionate speech, it was the pre-arranged incense burning session. What surprised everyone was that Zuo Yuan Dynasty politely declined. He considered more than others. Although the incense stick can bring good luck, it will also bring a lot of rumors. He is the acting mayor of Jiangcheng and a Communist Party member. He does not want anyone to make a big fuss about this matter. So Zuo Yuan Dynasty looked at the executive vice mayor Li Changyu very kindly and smiled: "Comrade Changyu should come here!"

Li Changyu shook his head and said, "Come on Mayor Zuo! You should come first by level!" How could he not see the true intention of Zuo Aiding Korea? Zuo Aiding Korea, Zuo Aiding Korea, you are a Communist Party member, I am not? You are against your faith and are afraid that others will make a big fuss, so I am not afraid? You want to cheat me, there is no way!

Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said, "Changyu, you are the deputy mayor in charge of tourism. From the construction of Nanlin Temple to now, you have made great contributions. It is most suitable to give this incense stick to you!"

When Li Changyu heard what he said, the incense stick could not be accepted. He smiled and said, "My job is still under the leadership of Mayor Zuo. Besides, the investment in repairing Nanlin Temple was won by Mayor Zuo. Mayor Zuo was also the one who made great contributions to Nanlin Temple. I dare not take your credit!"

The two of them pushed me and let me go. The cadres standing around were a little confused. These two have been fighting openly and secretly. Why did they suddenly become so polite now? But soon everyone understood that this involves the issue of faith. We are Communist Party members, so we can't burn this incense stick at will. Even if we want to, we have to burn it secretly. Never let others know.

Zuo Yuanchao and Li Changyu gave in for a long time but there was no result. Zuo Yuanchao accidentally saw Zhang Yang standing in the crowd. He suddenly had an idea and waved to Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang, come here!"

Zhang Yang pointed to his nose. After receiving a positive answer from Zuo Yuanchao, he walked over. Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, you can burn this incense stick!"

Everyone present was stunned. In which life the blessing this guy has cultivated can be so valued by the mayor?

Li Changyu is undoubtedly the one who understands the intention of Zuo Yuan Dynasty the most. Zuo Yuan Dynasty's move is really brilliant. He did this, not only to give Zhang Yang a big favor, but also let all the cadres see his importance to Zhang Yang. At the same time, he used this matter to attack Li Changyu. Now even Zhang Yang is on my side. The most cleverest thing is that he threw out the hot potato of Tou Xiang. Although Zhang Yang is a party member, he is a young cadre. No one will think of making a fuss on him. Even if he does a fuss, he can't cause much storm.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mayor Zuo, how can I be qualified?"

Zuo Yuanchao said: "You were the first to propose the development of the Nanlin Temple scenic spot, and you also presided over the preliminary work. Let's talk about it, is Xiao Zhang qualified to burn this incense stick?"

Everyone applauded at the same time! In the eyes of those present, Mayor Zuo was obviously much more powerful than the Bodhisattva, and his words were more convincing. At this moment, everyone forgot that the Buddhist purity of clamoring.

Zhang Yang also saw that it was not appropriate for Zuo Yuanchao or Li Changyu to burn the incense. He took the incense and felt funny in his heart. Last night, he ran back to grab the incense and snatched the incense. He didn't expect that he would snatch it or snatch his own. This matter was really funny.

Monk Sanbao didn't expect this result. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. He lowered his bare head and pretended to fiddle with the rosary.

Chang Haixin smiled like a flower, standing in the crowd, looking at Zhang Yang with beautiful eyes, only to feel that this matter was extremely interesting. She was born in a family of officials, and of course she understood the real reason why Zuo Yuanchao and Li Changyu pushed him. The hypocrisy of these people further highlighted Zhang Yang's sincerity. It is really rare to see a person like Zhang Yang in the system.

Zhang Yang burned incense under the camera of the reporter under countless envious eyes of the scene. Of course, this guy remembered his identity as a party member and did not kneel down to the Buddha like a good man and a woman.

At the important historical moment when the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area was fully opened, the significance of Zhang Daren lit the incense stick was no less than the torchbearer who lit the main torch in the Olympics. Although this guy had already practiced with Chang Hailong and his sister last night, it was only public today, and this time it was of great significance.

So Zhang Yang naturally became the focus of the reporters' attention, and someone asked: "Director Zhang, what wish did you make when burning incense?"

Zhang Yang looked up at the blue sky and looked with hopeful expression on his face: "I hope Jiangcheng's reform and opening up will go smoothly, I hope Jiangcheng's economy can take off quickly! I hope the people of Jiangcheng can become rich!"

Another reporter asked: "Director Zhang, please, as a Communist Party member, do you think it is appropriate to burn incense in the Buddhist temple?"

Official Zhang smiled at the reporter, but cursed in his heart, "Fuck, who the hell is this?" If it's Zuo Yuanchao or Li Changyu, who dares to ask the question like this? Isn't this a bully? But in front of so many reporters, Zhang Yang cannot get angry. He smiled and said, "What is more important about burning incense is a symbolic meaning. It seems that it doesn't matter if you are entangled on this issue. I know what answer you want. I think everyone should understand that when you go to the West, people meet, hug and kiss. When you arrive in Australia, the natives will still have to politely ceremonies with you. We cannot refuse others because of the principle of party spirit and one's own beliefs. This is a kind of respect and an attitude. My incense today is not for me, but for the Jiangcheng Municipal Government and the government's high attention to religious causes!" After Zhang Yang said that, he won warm applause.

When the Three Treasures Monk led Zhang Yang and Chang Haixin to the underground palace to worship the Buddha's relics, Chang Haixin couldn't help but praise: "Zhang Yang, I haven't seen you for a while, and your Taoism has improved. The answer to the reporter's question just now is really wonderful!"

Zhang Yang laughed.

Monk Sanbao said: "It seems that Director Zhang is a destined person, and the Buddha chose you!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mayor Zuo chose me!"

Chang Haixin sighed: "In the system, be careful about anything. The two mayors are unwilling to burn this incense stick, because they are simply afraid that others will say anything."

Zhang Yang said: "Burning incense is not a big deal, but there are too many people in this world. For a simple thing, there are always people who want to use it to maximize its influence."

The Three Treasures Monk said, "There is no tree in Bodhi, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in it, so where can dust be caused? People in the world have no worries, and these worries are born from the heart. It is precisely because some people are not open-minded enough that they are on guard against others in everything. If everyone can be as open-minded as Director Zhang, then the world will surely be much happier."

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the monk Sanbao and said, "Is the master flattering me again?"

The greatest advantage of Monk Sanbao is that he can still maintain a calm face when flattering. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good, every word of me is sincere. Director Zhang must not have any doubts."

Chang Hai thought to himself: "Although I haven't been in society for long, I have also seen that there are very few people in this world who can be honest and open!"
