A car was driving on a suburban road. The road was somewhat bumpy due to the passing of large vehicles, and the white SUV was also very bumpy.

Mi Ming was sitting in the cab, holding on to the steering wheel tightly. Next to him was Long Mingyi, who was playing with his mobile phone.

"Boss." Mi Ming said resentfully, "You haven't said a word to me for half an hour."

"Why are you talking?" Long Ming asked.

"Understood." Mi Ming nodded. "At this level, turn three doors to the left and two doors to the right."

"Mickey!" Long Mingyi said coldly, "Can't you write the word "death"? Let me teach you."

"No." Mi Ming said, "You will miss me."

Ten minutes later, Mi Ming parked the car steadily in front of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard seems to be quite old. The courtyard is not big, but it is very neat and beautiful. It has a short courtyard wall of 1.2 meters, and an exquisite small wooden door of about 1.3 meters facing the main road. From outside the courtyard wall

Looking into the yard, there are flowers everywhere. Standing outside the yard, you can smell the mixed fragrance of several flowers.

There was a stone table and a stone bench among the flowers. The master's books and glasses were still there, but the master had already gotten up and came to the door.

"Hello, Teacher Pang." The man in his sixties that Long Ming saw was Pang Jing.

Long Mingyi called Pang Jing Teacher Pang, but there was a reason. Pang Jing was a teacher in school in his early years, but later resigned and cooperated with others to go into business. Now he still has four patents and earns several million in income every year.

"Hello, Long Mingyi." Pang Jing nodded to Long Ming. Pang Jing was like a teacher, facing the students who came to visit him.

And this atmosphere was also deliberately created by Long Mingji.

"This is your first visit. I have prepared something for you." Long Mingyi took a bag from Mi Ming's hand.

"Alas!" Pang Jing stopped Long Mingyi, "Long Mingyi, you and I are both directors of Baotian, this is inappropriate."

Long Mingyi said sincerely: "Don't get me wrong. This is not a valuable thing. You will know after taking a look at it."

Pang Jing took a look at the contents of the bag. They were potatoes, vermicelli, radishes and steamed buns.

Pang Jing took a breath and said, "Long Mingyi, you are such a thoughtful person."

Pang Jing was one of the first batch of college students in our country. In 1977, he went to the countryside as one of the "last five batches". The college entrance examination was resumed a year later, and he was admitted to the university with excellent results. There were two educated youths who left the countryside to take the college entrance examination.

One is Pang Jing, the other is a professor at Long Mingyi University.

After Long Mingyi investigated Pang Jing, he found his mentor in college. The teacher then found this retired professor. Long Mingyi gave the professor a pair of She inkstones used to announce the birthday of a birthday boy as a meeting gift. The professor gave one

Move, let Long Mingyi take these things to Pang Jing.

Pang Jing took the steamed bun in the bag and took a bite.

"Yeah." Pang Jing closed his eyes, enjoying it very much. "Long Mingyi, you guys have a try."

Long Ming took one, took a bite, and swallowed it reluctantly. Mi Ming bit into it but couldn't swallow it, so he hurried out and vomited it out, and found water in the car and drank it like crazy.

"This is what coarse grains tasted like at that time," Pang Jing said. "At that time, it was good if we could eat enough, and we had to swallow everything. It was good when a bunch of people tightened their belts to go to school and do scientific research.

"

Long Mingyi smiled bitterly, no matter how difficult his childhood was, his living conditions were better than theirs.

"Long Mingyi." Pang Jing said, "Thank you very much for sending these. You can tell whether a person puts effort into it or not. You must have found an old friend who knows me very well."

"Yes." Long Mingyi was sincere.

In front of this earliest "student master", it is better not to play tricks.

"But our communication can only be limited to this. An independent director must behave like an independent director." Pang Jing stood up and said, "I accepted the gift. Thank you for your kindness. In return, I will give you a bag of flower seeds.

There are also a few pots of flowers I planted myself.”

Pang Jing stood up, already intending to see off his guests.

"Thank you." Long Mingyi said, "But I am here this time not as a director of Baotian, but as a member of Tianying."

"Tianying?" Pang Jing's expression changed, "Then there will be nothing to talk about."

"No." Long Mingyi stood up, "I think it's more interesting to talk about."

"Long Mingyi, you should know that Tianying built a house to tear down the wall of my ancestral home!" Pang Jing said: "Tianying has so many talented people, but they were deceived by others, so I can't let me pay the bill, right?"

Long Mingyi understood. It turned out that the "mistake" mentioned by Zhang Shujian was not just a problem of the place, but also a problem of people. Who was it? Maybe it was someone who was close to Zhang Shujian.

Pang Jing told Long Mingyi: "It turned out that Tianying wanted to build a four-story building, but found that the ground was not good enough to build it so high that it would become a dangerous building, so he wanted to move the location."

"Has Wang Canhui contacted you?"

"I've looked for it. But it's not good if one person says the same thing today and the same thing tomorrow."

"It seems they have also offered compensation."

Pang Jing nodded, "I've mentioned it. I've given you money, opportunities, and reputation. What new ideas can you come up with?"

"Have you ever heard of a story?" Long Mingyi said: ""Three Feet Alley"."

"I know." Pang Jing nodded, "Long Mingyi, you even used allusions."

The most famous thing in "Three Feet Alley" is a letter from home: "Building books thousands of miles away is just for the wall, so why not let it be three feet long? The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen."

"You mean I have to give up three feet?" Pang Jing shook his head, "I can't agree. This land is the ancestral home."

"Afraid of being blamed?" Long Ming smiled: "Your ancestor had a great man. Although he was not the biggest official in the family, he was the most popular one. He spent ten thousand taels of silver to build a school and take in children.

Although you gave up wealth and honor, you gained the pillars of the country. Your ancestors left behind a family motto: 'Be quick and eager to learn, and apply what you learn'. It can be seen from you that you follow the ancestral precepts."

Pang Jing's complexion improved a little.

"Tianying built a welfare home to take in poor children." Long Mingyi said: "You let these 'three feet', you are adhering to the style of our ancestors. Let these poor children have a place and school.

It’s a great merit.”

Pang Jing said: "Someone has said this before."

"Who agrees with me like this?" Long Ming asked.

"Zhou Jinkun." Pang Jing said, "But, I still can't let it go."

Long Ming frowned, this Pang Jing is really stubborn. How can he be strong without desire? No, there are too few saints in this world. There must be some reason for Pang Jing, which cannot be said.

Long Mingyi smiled bitterly, "It seems that I have failed today."

"Goodbye." Pang Jing directed his family to move things to Mi Ming's car.

As soon as Long Ming got up, Pang Jing walked side by side with him.

Long Mingyi suddenly asked: "Teacher Pang, I have a question."

"you say."

"Why do you use such a short wall?" Long Ming looked at his neighbors and said, "The neighbors all around have high walls."

"Isn't it boring to just admire the flowers in my garden?" Pang Jing was very happy when talking about his garden, "Everyone who passes by can look at these flowers. The flowers are happy, and so are the passers-by, so I am naturally happy."

Long Mingyi asked: "What is your favorite flower?"

"These water lilies." Pang Jing said with a smile, which was very sweet.
