Chapter 651 [Advance with Time] (Part 2)
Chang Lingfeng stood up with a smile: "I'm afraid of you. Speaking of this, I have to leave. Ruirong is still waiting for me to go shopping in Nanlin Temple Square."
Official Zhang finally understood why this guy had made him come here for tea. It turned out to be convenient for his girlfriend to go shopping. Zhang Yang couldn't help but say, "Prefer sex to friends!"
Chang Lingfeng just thought he couldn't hear it: "I'll leave first!"
Chang Lingfeng left as soon as he said, and Zhang Yang naturally would not stay here alone. To be honest, there was no good tea in this temple and teahouse, and he always felt a smell of fireworks when he drank it.
As soon as Chang Lingfeng left, Monk Sanbao slipped in and said to Zhang Yang with a smile: "Director Zhang, don't rush to leave. I have prepared some consecrated Buddhist beads for you, and you can bring them." He handed over a yellow cloth bag. Every time Zhang Yang came to Nanlin Temple, he would ask Monk Sanbao for some Buddhist beads. Now there are more and more people around him who believe in Buddhism, so it is good to keep it for others.
The Three Treasures also specially prepared a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads for Zhang Yang. The string of Buddhist beads was obtained when communicating Buddhist rituals with Indian monks. They were consecrated by Indian monks, so they were very precious. Zhang Yang was not polite to him. When he accepted it, he suddenly remembered Qiao Zhenliang's wife Meng Chuanmei. She was passionate about Buddhist rituals, so it was a good choice to give her the rosary beads.
Zhang Yang walked towards his pickup truck, and Sanbao gave him respectfully, Zhang Yang said: "It seems that you have done a good job recently."
Monk Sanbao smiled respectfully and said, "Everyone depends on Director Zhang's care." Sanbao is smart enough, but unfortunately it is a little too secular. As a monk, this is not a good thing.
Zhang Yang said: "Nanlin Temple is a signboard in the Buddhist community in Jiangcheng. While revitalizing the economy, we must also pay attention to social influence."
Monk Sanbao said: "Don't worry, Director Zhang, all the income we have made in our business is spent on Buddhist undertakings. We are planning to build a Buddhist temple in Chunxi Valley, Qingtaishan. The application has been submitted, but the superiors have not approved it for a long time."
When Zhang Yang heard him mention this, he wanted him to help. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Run to Chunxi Valley to build a Buddhist temple? I remember that there seems to be a Buddhist temple there. Do you think building a temple is the same as opening a company? Can you still open branches everywhere?"
Monk Sanbao smiled and said, "Mrs. Hasser came to Nanlin Temple to discuss investment before, but I heard that she died suddenly, so this matter is probably going to be stranded."
When Zhang Yang heard that this incident was also related to Wang Junyao, he lost interest and said calmly: "She is related to many major corruption cases and has committed suicide for fear of crime. I think her investment, you should not do it, so as not to avoid those black money from filthing the pure land of Buddhism."
When Monk Sanbao heard Zhang Yang say this, he immediately took a breath of cold air, feeling both disappointed and surprised. What was disappointed was that it seemed that the Buddhist temple could not be cultivated. What was surprised was that he almost used black money. After all, he was a Buddhist disciple, so he was still a little taboo.
Zhang Yang said: "I'm leaving. If you meet a patriotic businessman in the future, I'll be the first to contact you."
Sanbao nodded and presented his business card to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "Look at you, how could you still look like a monk!"
Monk Sanbao said: "Keep up with the times, you can't stick to the old rules!"
After leaving Nanlin Temple, Zhang Yang went to Qin Qing's house. Qin Bai had already returned home and told his family what Zhang Yang was about to come. The door was open, and it was obviously ready to welcome Zhang Yang.
Hearing Zhang Yang's footsteps, Qin Bai came out of the room and smiled and said, "It's been so long, my dad is waiting for you."
Qin Chuanliang's voice came from behind Qin Bai: "Zhang Yang, sit in the fast house!"
Zhang Yang called Uncle Qin and placed the boxes of gifts he bought along the way on the coffee table in the living room.
Qin Chuanliang smiled and said, "You, come here, what other gifts should I bring?"
Zhang Yang said: "I haven't seen you for so long. I encountered something during the Spring Festival and didn't have time to come here. I bought some gifts and made some intentions."
Qin Chuanliang liked Zhang Yang very much. He waved Zhang Yang and asked Zhang Yang to come to the Eight Immortals table to see the restoration renderings of the Chenghuang Temple near the north gate of Jiangcheng. Recently, the city invited him to serve as the consultant for the restoration project. It was a coincidence that Li Changyu was invited from Lanshan. However, Qin Chuanliang came to Jiangcheng, but Li Changyu transferred him to Nancy to serve as the Municipal Party Committee. However, the Jiangcheng Municipal Government still attached great importance to and respected Qin Chuanliang, the old expert. Not only did he give him a generous salary, he also specially provided a house for the old man to live near the Chenghuang Temple to prevent him from running back and forth. Qin Chuanliang had always lived there before, and it was only during the Chinese New Year holiday that he returned home.
Zhang Yang pretended to look at the renderings. In fact, he didn't know much about the project and could not see any tricks. However, he believed that the reconstruction of the City God Temple in Jiangcheng is just a continuation of his construction of ancient city walls, restoration of old streets, and reconstruction of ancient buildings in the past. He did not have much creativity, but one thing is undeniable that Jiangcheng's tourism has achieved results in recent years. With the increase of tourists, the income brought by tourism and related industries has also increased year by year. Zhang Yang, Li Changyu and others made an indelible contribution.
Zhang Yang didn't see Qin Qing, searched around and said softly: "Uncle Qin, is Mayor Qin not here?"
Qin Chuanliang said: "I have a cold, go to the hospital for infusion and I'm almost back."
When Zhang Yang heard that Qin Qing was sick, he couldn't help but worry. Qin Qing's health has always been not very good recently. He got sick last time in Lanshan. Unexpectedly, he got sick again not long after. It seemed that he had to take time to help her with her body conditioning.
Just when it was about Qin Qing, Qin Qing came back from the hospital for infusion. She had seen Zhang Yang's pickup truck outside and knew that Zhang Yang was coming. These days, Qin Qing was concerned about Zhang Yang all the time. However, Zhang Yang interrupted contact with the outside world since he went to the United States. She couldn't contact him no matter how hard she heard. After Zhang Yang returned from the United States, Qin Qing even wanted to go to Nancy to find him, but she understood that this is an extraordinary period and she was not suitable to appear by Zhang Yang. She could only silently suppress her longing for Zhang Yang. When he came to see him on his own initiative, after these days of suffering, he finally came.
Qin Qing's identity and position determine that she must restrain herself. Looking at Zhang Yang who was obviously thin, Qin Qing felt a little distressed. She knew clearly what kind of changes had happened to Zhang Yang's life recently. When Zhang Yang needed someone to accompany her the most, she could not be by his side or help him share his worries. Qin Qing suddenly got tired of her career. If possible, she would rather return to the role of a little woman and stay with Zhang Yang silently.
Zhang Yang smiled. Although there was obviously sadness in his smile, his smile had already given Qin Qing enough comfort. Zhang Yang said, "Sister Qing is back, how are you in good health?"
Qin Qing smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I just got cold. I'm much better now. I didn't want to go for infusion today, but on the last day, I thought about it and took it as a consolidation."
Qin Chuanliang said: "You guys talk, I'll prepare and have dinner together tonight."
Zhang Yang hurriedly said, "No, Du*** made an appointment with me tonight, and I couldn't help it. By the way, Sister Qing, Du*** asked me to invite you to come with me." In fact, Du Tianye did not invite Qin Qing to dinner at all, because Zhang Yang deliberately found an excuse.
When Qin Chuanliang heard that the municipal party committee had made an appointment with Zhang Yang, he had to give up.
Zhang Yang actually wanted to say something to Qin Qing, but it was not convenient to be in front of Qin Chuanliang.
Qin Qing also wanted to talk to Zhang Yang alone. When he heard Zhang Yang say this, he whispered: "Dad, then I can't be with you at home tonight."
Qin Chuanliang said: "Your illness has not been cured yet..." When he said this, he suddenly realized that his daughter's intention was not to go to dinner, and immediately changed his words: "Zhang Yang, help me take good care of Xiaoqing." There was a social experience, and the young man's little thing could not be hidden from his eyes.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, don't worry, I'll take over all Sister Qing's wine." He sat for a while, and saw that the time was almost over, and then asked to leave.
Qin Qing went back to the room and changed his clothes. He went out to Zhang Yang's pickup truck. Zhang Yang had already made the warm air and was waiting for her to arrive. Qin Qing closed the car door and sat down. The first thing he did was to hold Zhang Yang's big hand. Zhang Yang felt that Qin Qing's hand was a little cold and said softly: "Isn't it very cold?"
Qin Qing didn't say anything, looked at him and shook his head. Tears appeared in his beautiful eyes. Zhang Yang stopped talking and slowly started the car. Qin Qing said, "You have lost weight."
Zhang Yang nodded.
Qin Qing said again: "You left without saying a word. Are you planning to stop caring about me and never miss me again..."
Zhang Yang didn't say anything, he leaned against the side of the road and stopped, whispering: "Du Tianye asked me to have dinner in the evening. Do you think I should call him..."
Qin Qing suddenly hugged him desperately, hugging him tightly, completely ignoring that this place was on the roadside, and this place was Jiangcheng. Then she stretched out her fist and smashed Zhang Yang's chest one by one, and said while crying: "You just left like this, without saying a word. What should I do if something happened to you? Do you think... can I still live alone in the world and endure the pain of losing you..." Her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Qin Qing, who had always been strong, had never revealed such feelings in front of others. These days, she was always worried about Zhang Yang's situation. She squeezed for many days and all the worries and grievances gathered together, and finally released at this time.
Zhang Yang hugged her tightly: "I'm sorry..."
Qin Qing struggled hard, but suddenly hugged his neck: "You bastard, promise me that you can never do this again in your life, no!"
Zhang Yang pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
After Qin Qing stabilized her emotions, she broke free from Zhang Yang's arms. She remembered that she was on the roadside and was not far from her home. She had a pretty face red, wrinkled her nose, and whispered: "It shouldn't be seen by anyone."
Zhang Yang twisted her pretty face and smiled and said, "Why didn't you think of it when you hit me just now?"
Qin Qing covered his hot pretty face with both hands: "Didn't you agree to Du Tianye for dinner tonight?"
Zhang Yang said: "I have always been a person who values sex over friends, so I can turn it off." Qin Qing said coquettishly: "You, he is the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee. Your old leader, if you invite you to dinner, you have to give face. Hurry up and call them."
Zhang Yang said: "I don't have a cell phone!"
Qin Qing handed him his cell phone, Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "No!" He pushed open the car door and walked down there. Next to it was a public telephone booth. Zhang Yang called Hailan first. Hailan was not at home and was shopping with Xu Yabei. When he received a call from Zhang Yang, Hailan whispered, "Zhang Yang, I am with Yabei. I may have to go back very late at night. She insisted that I accompany her to go shopping and have dinner. We are colleagues or good friends."
Zhang Yang was about to ask her for leave, but when he heard that she had something to do, he just smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you that I have to have dinner with Du*** tonight, and I guess I have to go back later."
Hailan smiled and said, "You just need not drink too much. Remember, alcohol can mess with sex!" She was tossed by Zhang Yang last night and has not recovered yet.
Zhang Yang laughed and said goodbye, and called Du Tianye again. He planned to take leave to Du Tianye and have a good chat with Qin Qing in the evening, but Du Tianye had already arranged the dinner. As soon as he heard Zhang Yang say something was wrong, Du Tianye immediately interrupted him and said, "Listen to me, you must push me off the big things. You will be in the town of fish and rice tonight, and Su Xiaohong has arranged it. I heard that you are back, and even the wine passed down from the family has been prepared. Rong Pengfei is also here. We two members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People come forward. If you want to die, don't give us face, think about it yourself."
When Zhang Yang heard him say this, he knew it was not easy to deal with. He whispered: "Why... Mayor Qin is here too, why don't you join us?"
When Du Tianye heard the words "Mayor Qin" at first, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted again. The Mayor Qin mentioned by Zhang Yang must be Qin Qing. Many people in the Jiangcheng system know about the scandal between Zhang Yang and Qin Qing. Du Tianye laughed and scolded: "I think you have something important to you, but I have been focusing on sex over friends for a long time!"
Zhang Yang said: "I said you are a member of the Municipal Party Committee at least, why are you so careless about your words? We are innocent comrades. You are talking nonsense. Be careful, I will report you to the Discipline Inspection Commission."
Du Tianye smiled and said, "Oh, report me? You kid forgot that I used to be from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I am more familiar with the Discipline Inspection Commission. You should hurry up and invite Mayor Qin to come together. I originally planned to treat her to dinner, but today we happened to be together."
Zhang Yang said: "Don't talk nonsense."
