"Old Secretary!"
As soon as you step through the door.
The middle-aged man behind Zhang Xingguo immediately shouted with a shameless smile.
Although he was Zhang Xingguo's trusted general, he had not met the old secretary many times.
He has always been looking for an opportunity to flatter the old secretary and improve his personal relationship with him.
Even though Secretary Zhang Weimin has retired for many years, on the surface, this retired leader does not seem to have much influence.
But Kong Liqun knew that due to the reputation and achievements he had built up over the years in Jiangzhou, as well as the current Jiangzhou system, countless bigwigs were either the old secretary's subordinates or had received favors from the old secretary. With such a background, even after many years of abdication, the old secretary Zhang Weimin still had great power in Jiangzhou, so he dreamed of hugging such a thigh!
Unfortunately, Zhang Xingguo, knowing his father's character, seldom brings people around him to his father, so even Kong Liqun couldn't get any chance even though he wanted to.
This time, because his car had a problem, he asked Kong Liqun to take him back.
Originally, he was just going to send him back to the door, but Kong Liqun said that there happened to be a modern copy of "Preface to the Lanting Poems" in the car. Knowing that the old man liked calligraphy, he wanted to give it to him.
Unable to resist Kong Liqun's enthusiasm, Zhang Xingguo had to bring him in.
However.
The moment I saw Kong Liqun.
Zhang Weimin couldn't help but frown, and Zhang Jingshan's face was filled with disgust. Obviously, the grandfather and grandson didn't like Kong Liqun very much.
The old secretary, who has seen countless people, thinks Kong Liqun is hypocritical and cunning.
Zhang Jingshan was extremely disgusted with Kong Liqun's flattery and lack of moral integrity.
In his opinion, even if Zhang Xingguo asked that guy to give up his wife, Kong Liqun probably wouldn't even frown.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhang Jingshan asked in a dissatisfied voice, not caring about his father Zhang Xingguo's face at all.
"Well, Young Master Zhang, Mr. Zhang's car wouldn't start, and he was in a hurry to come back, so I sent him back. It just so happened that I just got a modern copy of the "Preface to the Lanting Collection". Although it's not worth much, it's very similar to the original. I know that the old secretary likes calligraphy, so I thought it would be better to leave it in the hands of the old secretary than in the hands of a rough man like me!"
Not daring to pay attention to Zhang Jingshan's unfriendly attitude, Kong Liqun said in a flattering voice.
"Fuck, I thought it was the original work of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface". It's just a modern copy that's worthless. Who are you making fun of?" Zhang Jingshan, a man of temperament, retorted without thinking, out of extreme disgust.
"How can you talk like that! No matter what happens to Old Kong, you should still call him Uncle Kong. You are already in your twenties, and why do you talk so disrespectfully?" Zhang Xingguo scolded in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, I am so disrespectful. So what? If you can't stand me, then go away. I didn't call you back!" Zhang Jingshan snorted coldly.
"You..." Zhang Xingguo was shaking with anger.
"That's enough! Is it never going to end? Don't you mind being laughed at?"
Zhang Weimin slammed the table and cursed loudly.
This made Zhang Xingguo and Zhang Jingshan, father and son, calm down.
"Mr. Kong, you should take back your copy of the Lanting Preface. You should know that what I, Zhang Weimin, hate most in my life is accepting gifts. Besides, I also have a copy of the Lanting Preface, and I have even copied several copies myself. So I appreciate your kindness, and you can take it back!"
Looking at Kong Liqun, Zhang Weimin said calmly.
Although he had been extremely disgusted by Kong Liqun's hypocrisy that seemed to be engraved in his bones since the first time he met him.
But even though he was repulsive, he would not show it in a cold and hostile way under the other person's attentive smile.
"Old Secretary, this..." Kong Liqun's face froze. He looked at the scroll in his hand.
He looked at Zhang Weimin again.
He seemed a little at a loss as to what to do.
"I've told you before, there's no need to play this game with the old man. Since the old man told you to take it back, then take it back!" Zhang Xingguo waved his hands.
"Mr. Zhang, then I..."
Kong Liqun originally wanted to take this opportunity to sit at the Zhang family's dinner table and flatter Zhang Weimin in order to establish a personal relationship with him.
But this, what is this?
"Okay, you go back first!" Zhang Xingguo, who was in a low mood, had no intention of keeping Kong Liqun and waved his hand.
After Zhang Xingguo said this.
Even though he felt unwilling and disappointed, Kong Liqun did not dare to stay any longer.
He said goodbye to the Zhang family with a forced smile, and then walked out with his lonely figure.
"My dear Ye, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I suspect that Xingguo and Jingshan were mortal enemies in their previous lives, and they are here to take revenge on each other in this life! Ever since Jingshan's mother passed away, they quarrel whenever they meet. Sigh!"
After Kong Liqun left, Zhang Weimin looked at Ye Chen and smiled bitterly.
Zhang Xingguo moved his lips, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally did not dare to say anything.
But he looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.
Many people had visited Zhang's house, but he had never seen the old man treat a young man like this.
"Secretary, you're too serious. There's nothing to be ashamed of. There are many fathers and sons with conflicts in the world, but no matter what, the blood flowing in their bones is of the same lineage. No matter how big the conflict is, it will eventually be resolved!" Ye Chen smiled faintly.
He didn't want to get involved in these family conflicts, and he didn't even want to know so much about them.
"That's true!"
Zhang Weimin brushed it off with moderation.
Then he looked at Zhang Xingguo, "Xingguo, let me introduce you, this is Ye Chen, my friend!"
"Ye Chen? Are you the one who saw that the price of Jinlin Mansion would increase, and took Jingshan there to book two houses?"
Zhang Xingguo frowned and said to Ye Chen.
"Uncle Zhang, it was just a coincidence!" Ye Chen smiled quietly.
"Of course I know it was luck. Could it be that you are so powerful that you knew that the municipal government would issue a relocation notice in a few days? Even I didn't hear any news about this!" Zhang Xingguo responded indifferently.
The reason was the previous skyrocketing price of Jinlin Mansion. Out of concern for his son, he went to check it out.
It was found that the person who booked a room with Zhang Jingshan in Jinlin Mansion was named Ye Chen. Following the clues, someone was asked to investigate Ye Chen.
It's not a big deal, but after a thorough investigation, I found out that the other party is a complete gambler and alcoholic. He is a high-handed person who comes to block people every now and then. This is normal..
As for this kind of scum, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to the old man and ask him to stop his son Zhang Jingshan from associating with the other party. He never thought that now, the other party actually entered his Zhang family's door and even sat at his Zhang family's dinner table.
This, this is not only a drug to his son Zhang Jingshan?
Did you also give the old man some magic potion?
Regarding Zhang Xingguo's indifferent attitude.
Ye Chen couldn't help but frowned.
He began to waver in his idea of pulling Zhang Xingguo out of the fire pit.
"Luck? So you, Zhang Xingguo, are the embodiment of strength? If it weren't for the old man, if it weren't for the old man's name to take on favors, would your shitty construction company be able to succeed? It would have been buried long ago!"
Zhang Jingshan snorted again, as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't confront Zhang Xingguo.
"Little bastard, you..."
Zhang Xingguo was a little fed up.
Zhang Weimin interrupted, "Do you think it's really luck that you placed an order for two houses in Jinlin Mansion and saw a surge in price a few days later?"
After being interrupted by his father, Zhang Xingguo didn't know how to respond.
"If it's not luck, then what's going on? Could it be that he figured out that the government would demolish and redevelop the urban villages? Is he that amazing?"
Just when he was about to tell everyone the details he had learned about Ye Chen.
Zhang Weimin said in a sonorous voice, "It's really that amazing! Just because you don't have that ability doesn't mean others don't have that ability. At least in my eyes, Ye Xiaoyou is definitely one in a million among the young generation today! Not to mention the young generation today, even you... are far inferior to him!"
I noticed that Zhang Xingguo had a bad attitude towards Ye Chen.
Zhang Weimin's heart also skipped a beat.
He immediately changed his speaking strategy and said in a loud and clear voice, "You are far inferior to him."
Putting aside the fact that this was true, in a sense, it was also meant to appease Ye Chen, as he didn't want Ye Chen to get into a fight with Zhang Xingguo.
