The huge meeting room in the guest house was still noisy a moment ago. However, in the next second, the entire venue fell into a terrifying silence. It was as if even a needle dropped on the floor would make a tinkling sound!
Li Changhe was stunned. The other village secretaries were also stunned. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. Even his breathing stopped!
………………
A few small cars with the word 'Shan' in the beginning of their names drove lightly towards the west of Chang 'an City, leaving behind a trail of smoke…
Chang 'an Hotel was a four-star hotel with a long history and culture. Even in Chang 'an, they could be sent to a higher level. The ancient buildings seemed to recreate the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The beautiful waitresses were dressed in traditional Chinese costumes and were as white as the first snow. Her calm face and smile made the customers feel warm. Other than the outer walls of the hotel that were built with modern building materials, the rest of the interior decoration and clothing were made of ancient sandalwood. Even the mahogany of the rich could be seen here. Of course, although the outer wall was made of modern materials, in order to restore the former Tang Dynasty, the outer wall naturally used drawing boards.
Silk Road, Pearl of the East, Ancient Capital of Culture…
The ancient and vivid murals undoubtedly added a rich cultural color to the hotel. This was the history of Chang 'an, the detailed list of Chang' an, the glory of Chang 'an, and the restoration of the former prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Almost every foreigner who came to Chang 'an would visit this ancient city repeatedly. And Chang 'an Hotel inevitably became the target of Luo Yang's expensive paper. Therefore, business had always been booming.
"I really like this city with a long history…I can feel its former beauty here! Prosperous Chang 'an was also exceptionally famous overseas!”Director Wang Huo said with a smile and handed Xie Wen a high-quality cigarette. A white box of Ordos!
This type of cigarette was specially manufactured by the Yellow Crane Tower Cigarette Factory in the Ordos City in Inner Mongolia. Xie Wen didn't know how much the cigarette was worth, but he could guess it when he thought of Wang Huo's identity.
He calmly took the cigarette from Wang Huo without lighting it. Wang Huo was surprised by this. He could not help but nod his head. He was also secretly surprised.
It wasn't that Wang Huo, who worked in the capital, hadn't come into contact with nobles before. He shook his head and laughed at himself, secretly putting his ridiculous thoughts to the back of his mind. He took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.
Then, Xie Wencai took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath. The cigarette was a little choking when it entered his stomach, but the moment it entered his lungs, Xie Wen's eyes lit up. She could not help but complain that the quality of the cigarettes she smoked was too poor.
"CEO Wang, thank you very much for your trust in me! "If possible, I hope you can go to the project site to inspect it yourself…" Xie Wen then gave some suggestions and opinions about the project, which surprised Wang Huo even more. However, he did not reveal much.
"Hehe…I'm curious about something!”
"Please go ahead, CEO Wang…"
"How do you know that my condition is definitely not true? If it's true, then aren't you shooting yourself in the foot?”Wang Huo looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
Xie Wen pondered for a moment before saying,"To be honest, I'm not confident at all! At worst…" Seeing Wang Huo's disappointed expression, Xie Wen said,"Actually, I've already checked. CEO Wang's group has done welfare work many times! So…"
As the leader of a small village, Xie Wen thought that he did not have any great ability to be valued by a large consortium, so he could soar to the sky and enjoy tens of thousands of wealth. If he was good, he could even get a few beautiful women to keep him company…
Xie Wen heaved a sigh of relief when he came out of the hotel. He touched the shirt under his casual clothes and found that it was completely drenched in cold sweat. Thinking back to that moment in the meeting room, his heart was really in his throat. At that moment, he was betting on his own future, on the future of the 13 groups in Zhangzhai Village, on what the Gambling King Huo was searching for…Fortunately, he had made the right bet!
He took out the money in his pocket and counted it. There were still a few hundred yuan left. Lowering his head, Xie Wen thought for a moment before walking towards Lianhu Road…He indeed had something to do, but it wasn't a private matter. It was because of Aunt Wang.
He took out the crumpled note from his pocket and looked at the address. Then, he looked up at the neighborhood in front of him. His brows gradually furrowed.
"Excuse me…"
"I'm sorry, let me ask…"
"May I ask about Lianhu Road…"
"Big sister…What big sister?" Crazy, I'm only sixteen…"
" Uh…" Looking at the departing figure, Xie Wen smiled bitterly and muttered,""Sixteen years old? Who are you kidding…The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are like tree bark…Sigh, it's probably the climacteric symptoms mentioned in the books!”
His legs were already numb, and his feet that were wearing Zhong Ling's handmade cloth shoes were burning in pain. The shirt on his back was dried by his body and then soaked by his sweat…His lips were pale and dry, and even cracked, but he never went to buy a bottle of water. Instead, he drank some tap water in the bathroom of an internet cafe.
Xie Wen wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked for directions again. However, her gaze was already a little erratic. She left home early in the morning and did not have time to eat breakfast. At noon, he rejected Wang Huo's invitation to eat. What a joke, inviting others to come and asking the investor to treat them to a meal? What kind of rules? If it wasn't for the fact that he was short of money and couldn't afford it, perhaps this lunch would have become Xie Wen's treat!
So…his stomach was empty! Uncle Zhong was already old, so he could work with the salary of the village secretary. The annual harvest might be able to buy some. However, most of them were taken out by Uncle Zhong to help some villagers who were living in hardship. Even when Zhong Ling was eighteen years old, she had never prepared a dowry.
At first, Xie Wen really thought that Zhong Ling was deaf and mute. Yixi still remembered that it should have been summer a year and a half ago. Heavy rain flooded the village, and the roads in the countryside became extremely muddy. It was extremely difficult to walk. If he was not careful, he would fall.
At that time, Zhong Ling was in Year Two. That afternoon, Xie Wen braved the heavy rain and carried Zhong Ling through the mud! After the incident, both of them had a fever... However, the boy had a stronger physique than the girl. A few days later, Xie Wen recovered. However, Zhong Ling still had a high fever and was hospitalized.
Uncle Zhong was already old, and he was busy with the affairs of the village…Therefore, the task of taking care of Zhong Ling naturally fell on Xie Wen's shoulders. During those days, he did not sleep or rest for a few days in a row. It was as if he was taking care of a little treasure. He had to be careful!
" Brother A Wen…" When the sound of nature entered Xie Wen's ears, he was stunned! It turned out that Zhong Ling was not really deaf and mute, but…
