Chapter 235 Li Erhu asks for an audience
Dongjiang city is not that big, so about half an hour later, Xu Boan appeared in Su Tai's office in the headquarters building of the Construction Engineering Group.
Xu Boan was also holding a bag of tea in his hand, which was the top-quality Dahongpao that had just been fried for Xu Boan at the teahouse.
When you come to see Su Tai, you can’t come empty-handed.
These tea leaves only weighed a few kilograms. Xu Boan didn't keep any of them and took them all.
After all, yesterday I got Niu Twelve sacks of tea of the same quality. Xu Boan would not feel bad about giving it away now.
Seeing Xu Bo'an's arrival, Su Tai was very happy. He immediately asked his secretary to find his own good tea and brew it, and then sat with Xu Bo'an on the large reception sofa in the office.
This is a treatment that many middle-level leaders of construction engineering groups do not have.
"Bo'an, you came to me, maybe there is something wrong." Seeing the abnormal expression on Xu Boan's face, Su Tai could naturally see some clues.
The so-called "not going to the Three Treasures Hall without any problem" refers to this state.
What's more, I went straight to the office to find him.
Xu Bo'an said: "Director Su, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to talk to you about my old leader, Liu Dongwen, the former chief engineer of our second company and the current director of the archives."
Although Liu Dongwen is no longer here, the company has not officially announced the revocation of his status as archives director, so there is no problem in calling him this way.
Su Tai's expression did not change at all, but his eyes trembled slightly. Then he paused for a few seconds, seemed to consider his words, and then said: "Bo'an, Liu Dongwen has no hesitation in rescuing people bravely. The group has already mastered it. This is a sure thing. We all admire it and are very touched. But the group company has its own rules and regulations."
When Xu Boan heard Su Tai's words, he understood immediately. , the gossip and rumors about Liu Dongwen related issues that Liu Quan told him before were most likely not groundless, but factual.
Xu Bo'an argued: "Dr. Su, Liu Dongwen's accident happened when we were rescuing people together. He was the first to jump into the water to save people, and he was even in front of me. It was precisely because of his actions that the people behind us were greatly encouraged and mustered up the courage to follow in. This..."
Xu Bo'an did not continue. He suddenly realized that he seemed not to be good at lying. , if I say it any further, it would be a bit much.
After all, the so-called actions of boosting morale and taking the lead are actually what he is doing.
Although Liu Dongwen can be regarded as leading the way, he does not have that appeal.
At least not as powerful as the powerful Xu Boan.
Su Tai raised his hand and patted Xu Bo'an on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Bo'an, I understand your mood, but there are some facts that cannot be concluded simply by saying that the merits and demerits balance each other."
Xu Boan was silent for a moment and then asked: "Director Su, I would like to take the liberty to ask how the group company plans to handle this matter?"
Su Tai shook his head and said: "So far There is no specific conclusion yet, but the most likely possibility is that it should be downplayed."
Xu Bo'an picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but there was no taste in his mouth.
He knows what it means to downplay it. To put it bluntly, it means to treat it coldly, to ignore it, to ignore it, and to let things go as if nothing happened.
When people die, the lights are extinguished, mistakes are not investigated, and heroic feats are no longer promoted.
Xu Boan was silent for a long time, looking down at the tea cup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Tai finally clapped his thighs with both hands, stood up, walked back to the bookshelf behind the desk, turned his back to Xu Bo'an and said: "Bo'an, I will pay tribute to Liu Dongwen in my own name. Send a wreath.”
As the chairman of the Construction Engineering Group, it is naturally impossible for Su Tai to go to Liu Dongwen’s home in person. This would mean refuting the results of the group’s decision to downplay the situation.
Being able to send a wreath in your own name is already the greatest concession and care.
After all, even if Su Tai sent a wreath in his own name, it would at least make many of Liu Dongwen's former colleagues less afraid and be able to send Liu Dongwen off generously.
Xu Boan knew that this was not something Su Tai did for Liu Dongwen, but a concession made for his own sake.
After all, I have never experienced such a scene. It is just cold words and imagination, and it is difficult to empathize with the real scene.
The reason why Xu Boan has such emotional persistence is because on that day, they were comrades fighting side by side to resist the flood.
At that moment, Xu Boan's hostility towards Liu Dongwen from all past grievances had disappeared.
Grudges disappear with a smile, that's probably the case.
Xu Bo'an stood up: "Thank you, Director Su, I will do it right away."
Su Tai nodded, and Xu Bo'an said again: "By the way, Director Su, this is a friend. Some of the tea you gave me tastes pretty good. I don’t have much taste in tea, just like a cow chewing peonies. After thinking about it, it would be better to give you some tea to taste.”
As he spoke, Xu Bo'an pointed to the bag of tea leaves that he had casually placed on the coffee table.
Su Tai said with a smile: "What a coincidence. Not long ago, I also got some good Mingqian Longjing. Let's share it with friends over tea."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind his desk. He bent down and took out a beautiful small ceramic teahouse from the cabinet below.
The scenery of the misty Jiangnan is painted on the teahouse, which is quite elegant. Compared with the tea leaves wrapped in kraft paper by Xu Boan, it seems to be a bit judgmental.
There are many tea cans of various kinds in Zhang Xiaohong’s teahouse. She has never thought of matching a tea can with Xu Boan’s tea.
But in her opinion, those ordinary tea cans at home are really not worthy of Xu Boan's noble Dahongpao.
So, we deliberately used the most original and classic kraft paper. Usually, some exquisite traditional Chinese medicine shops also package traditional Chinese medicine in this way.
Xu Boan was not polite to Su Tai, and immediately took Su Tai's return gift and left.
Xu Bo'an didn't take Su Tai's tea seriously. He put it aside as soon as he got in the car and casually told Liu Quandao: "Dong Su gave me some tea. It is said to be the best Mingqian Longjing. You can do it later." "Take it and try it."
Liu Quan raised his eyebrows.
Good guy, Mr. Xu is so powerful and domineering.
I visited Mr. Su with a bag of tea packaged in kraft paper, but when I came out, I got a high-end tea gift package that was replaced by a cannon.
Doesn't this gap mean that Mr. Xu's status in front of Director Su is higher than he thought?
After all, if Mr. Xu relies on Director Su, it is generally impossible to receive a more valuable return gift from the other party.
Liu Quan's heart was pounding, and he became more determined to follow Mr. Xu and work hard. In Su Tai's office, after Xu Bo'an left, Su Tai didn't take the tea sent by Xu Bo'an seriously.
The gift that a person sitting in his position receives the most is tea.
There are countless varieties of top quality tea.
Su Tai was shocked by Xu Boan's hangover medicines because he benefited a lot from them.
But for tea leaves, Sutai is not lacking, so I don’t pay much attention to it, let alone this kind of packaged tea.
After all, in the eyes of Su Tai and even most people, the better the tea, the better the packaging.
Su Tai just thought it was Xu Boan who came to him to ask about Liu Dongwen, and just grabbed some tea leaves.
Didn't Xu Bo'an also say that it just "tastes pretty good" and is far from being a high-quality product.
At this time, Su Tai still didn't know what kind of opportunity he had missed just because he misjudged Xu Boan's humble statement.
……
The Tulou of the mountain village in the world of bonsai.
Listening to the news brought by people, Li Erhu suddenly became anxious and furious.
My wife Wang Guifen was just going back to her parents' home normally, but she wanted to mobilize her mother-in-law and her family to come to Kaoshan Village to enjoy the blessings, but she was imprisoned as a bad omen!
Li Erhu immediately picked up the kitchen knife and wanted to rush back to Hongya Village to ask for an explanation and to pick up his wife Wang Guifen.
Before I walked out of the earth building, I was grabbed by someone.
Then, he reported to the village chief Li Kanshan.
Li Kanshan appeared in front of Liu Erhu and blocked his way.
"Erhu, are you going to go over like this?" Li Kanshan saw that Li Erhu was still looking a little crazy, and immediately shouted in a louder voice.
Li Erhu said with saliva flying around: "Is it possible that I just watched my mother-in-law get into trouble?"
An elder from another village next to Li Kanshan persuaded: "Er Hu, don’t be impulsive. Let’s discuss this matter first and take a long-term approach.”
Li Erhu said angrily: “It’s useless to take a long-term approach, Uncle Six, village chief, don’t say that I don’t give you face.” , that’s my own mother-in-law. If you don’t want to help me, I won’t say anything. You can’t stop me from ignoring my mother-in-law. In that case, I’m still a man.”
Li Kan. Shan said solemnly: "You are right, we must help you with this matter, but it is definitely not an option for you to go through like this. Our village has more than a hundred men, women, and children in total, even if we add these other villages. The people who came were only about two hundred people. Do you know how many people there are in Hongya Village? There are three to four hundred people in Hongya Village, not counting the people they said gathered in Xishan Town. There are people from several surrounding villages, let alone you alone. Even if all of us, old and young, go to ask for them, do you think we can get them back simply by relying on our fists?"
Li Erhu thought to himself. With this in mind, he immediately asked at a loss: "Old village chief, what should I do? You won't persuade me to report to the government, right? We don't know what is going on in Shanyang City right now. Can those in the county government take care of it?" It's strange that we have to come over."
Li Kanshan said: "I personally persuaded Guifen and others to go out this time. Naturally, the village cannot ignore this matter. So, you go to the mountain first. Grandpa Shen, please ask for help. You can say that I asked you to go."
The reason why Li Kanshan said this is because he is old and in poor health. All aspects of the function are also aging. Not to mention climbing up the mountain to visit Xu Boan at the Mountain Temple. Going up and down the earth building several times a day is a bit troublesome, so naturally there is no way to climb the wall ladder to the Mountain Temple in person.
Li Erhu nodded helplessly and said: "Old village chief, I heard that they are planning to take action in three days. It has been a day, and after tonight, if there is still no way, I will go Even if I die, I will die with Guifen."
Li Kanshan nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, time is tight, see Grandpa Shan Shen as soon as possible, and let Guifen come back as soon as possible. Shancun, I’m sorry for this girl Guifen.”
Li Erhu said no more, and immediately turned around and walked towards the ladder on the cliff. He struggled up and soon reached the platform halfway up the mountain.
Then, Li Erhu was dumbfounded.
Outside the door of the mountain temple in the distance, I saw a large colorful ladder lying on the ground, and a strange, long and large thing on the ladder stopped there.
Jin Dajian is leading several people up and down his hands to move stones from above.
What novel thing is this?
Just thinking about it casually, Li Erhu walked quickly towards the mountain temple.
After all, he was still thinking about his wife Li Guifen, and Li Erhu didn't care about these things at all.
Just a few steps out, Li Erhu suddenly saw a speeding black shadow flash in his peripheral vision, and then, a harsh voice came from beside him.
Then, a greeting sounded.
“Brother Erhu, why are you up here!”
Li Erhu followed the sound and looked sideways, and saw a familiar young man in the village sitting on a strange thing, sticking out his head to say hello to him.
"Shuan Zhu? What are you doing?" Li Erhu couldn't help but ask.
"I am practicing driving. Grandpa Mountain God said, whoever can learn to drive... Oh, this is the thing, there will be a big reward. I heard them say that the prize is a lot of pork."
"Grandpa Mountain God? Grandpa Mountain God has manifested himself as a saint?" Li Erhu said excitedly after hearing Shuan Zhu's words.
Shuan Zhu shook his head and said: "This happened before, what happened? Brother Erhu, you have something to do with Grandpa Mountain God."
Li Erhu said anxiously: "No Wrong, my mother-in-law has been detained. I have to go to Grandpa Mountain God quickly, hoping that he can use his magic to help me."
When Shuan Zhu heard this, he waved and said: "Two. Brother Hu, come here quickly. I will drive you there. It will take you just a few words."
Li Erhu was no longer polite to Shuan Zhu. After all, it would take nearly half of the way to get there. Time to burn incense.
For Wang Guifen now, time is life!
Sure enough, within a few words, the car stopped not far from the mountain temple, much faster than Li Erhu running on his legs.
"Brother Erhu, you can get off here. Master Jin said that the car cannot be too close to the mountain temple. It is disrespectful to the mountain god grandpa."
Li Erhu hurriedly ran out of the car, He rushed straight to the mountain temple, and then looked at the car reluctantly, thinking that he would find a way to borrow the car later.
If you have this car, you may not have no chance of going to Hongya Village to rescue your mother-in-law.
