Chapter 84 [Big Courtyard Children] (Part 1)

Qin Qing took his luggage and walked out of the gate to see Zhang Yang who came to greet her. This guy was actually holding a bouquet of flowers. It is logical that it is not abrupt to pick up people and hold flowers, but Zhang Yang is different. The bouquet he used to welcome Qin Qing was red roses, with a heartless smile on his face, staring at Qin Qing's pretty face, strode towards him, and presented the roses with both hands: "On behalf of all the staff of Chunyang Beijing Office, I welcome County Mayor Qin to Beijing!"

There were many eyes around him looking at the couple. Few people didn't understand the meaning of a man giving a woman a red rose. Of course, Qin Qing understood, and she didn't believe that Zhang Yang didn't understand, so he came to a conclusion that this guy was really hateful. He gave him flowers for himself as a pretext for public welfare. His chance to send flowers was hinting at something to himself. It was normal to pick up the leader's airport and send flowers, but it was a bit ambiguous to send roses to the female leader.

After a brief hesitation, Qin Qing reached out to take the bouquet of roses with great scent and smelled it, "It smells very fragrant, very beautiful!"

Zhang Yang took her luggage attentively and accompanied Qin Qing out of the airport. Today, Qin Qing was not wearing high heels, and was shorter than Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang found many advantages with his head held high and his chest. Chunyang's office in Beijing had no car. Zhang Yang stopped a car for rent, put his luggage in the trunk, and then got into the back seat and sat next to Qin Qing. He looked at Qin Qing's pretty face, picked up a caring expression, and whispered: "You are losing weight, don't be too devoted to your work!"

Qin Qing felt warm. Although he clearly thought this guy was not qualified to say such words, he was still moved by him for a moment. The faint fragrance of flowers made the air in the car warm and romantic. Qin Qing's eyes softened a lot. After staying away from Chunyang's political arena, her tense nerves could be relaxed a little. Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office was responsible for welcoming Hong Weiji in three high-end cars, and Zhang Yang was not unfamiliar with these cars. His eyes chased the shadow of the car that was gradually moving away and whispered: "What big man has come today? All the luxury cars in Jiangcheng's Beijing office were dispatched?"

Qin Qingran smiled lightly and said, "Secretary Hong is here. I didn't expect that you have been in Beijing for a short time. You have looked at the problem much more thoroughly than in the past."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Liu Zhiyu, director of Jiangcheng Beijing Office, is the strongest capable one of all the offices in Pinghai Province in Beijing. I heard that this guy is very good at hand and has a lot of hands and eyes, and is very familiar with the leaders of various central ministries and commissions. I haven't seen anything else, but he can drive the car directly to the airport, which proves that he is very capable and has a good relationship with the airport."

"You envy him?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I first arrived at the Beijing Office. When I first came, I reminded me that my task was to welcome and send off the trip. To put it bluntly, it was to make you leaders feel comfortable when they entered Beijing, and then play a role in threading needles. As for threading needles, it was our turn to care about it very little. After all, the level was there. You think about the Beijing city where big cadres are everywhere, what kind of storm can arise, a small deputy section-level cadre, a small deputy section-level cadre."

Qin Qing couldn't help laughing. This guy was so pessimistic. It was the first time since he met him. When he met, he emphasized to himself that his deputy section level was too low and his old habits were broken again. He wanted to help him improve his politically. Qin Qing said: "You are now the top leader of the Beijing Office. You will not accept foreign military orders. You are a free prince at the feet of the emperor. I am afraid that you will be so beautiful in your heart."

Zhang Yang deliberately said with a bitter face: "Exile, I was exiled. At the beginning, I thought it was a good thing to go to Beijing, but after I came, I realized that exiling a cadre was not to stuff him into a remote village, but to throw him in the capital. If I didn't know that I was a small official in Beijing, I had to walk carefully when I left the small yard of the Beijing Office. Maybe I could step on an ant to death and it would be a pet from the minister's house."

Qin Qing smiled and said nothing. She knew that Zhang Yang was complaining, and she might not think so. In a short period of time, it would be difficult for this guy to change his character. If he could really restrain himself, it would be a good thing for him. Qin Qing said: "It seems that you have a lot of resentment in your heart. By the way, how did you tell me that you were going to have a tertiary birth two days ago?"

Zhang Yang said: "Gu Jiatong plans to open an authentic Huaiyang restaurant. This time she will prepare for this matter when she returns to Dongjiang. Anyway, the house in our Beijing office is empty, so why not take it out and cooperate with her. The decoration management is all the people, and our Beijing office is just waiting to collect the money..."

Qin Qing interrupted him and said, "The Beijing Office is not your private property. All existing assets belong to the county and the state."

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't think about putting state-owned assets into my pocket. What I want now is to expand and develop. Since we have ready-made conditions, why not make rational use of it?"

Qin Qing cleaned his hair: "So many things have happened, and you should understand the four words "aweful word". I opposed you to do this because the impact left by Xie Yunting's incident has not been completely eradicated. However, your thinking on development cannot be said to be wrong. You should grasp it yourself and make sure to make it clear in the accounts and not harm the interests of the country." She said this sentence to agree with Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong's cooperation in opening a hotel. Zhang Yang immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your support!"

The taxi had already entered the yard of Chunyang's Beijing Office. Although Qin Qing had not been the county magistrate for a long time, he had moved in here twice. After getting off the car, Li Jianquan and Yu Xiaodong were both smiling and greeted him. Yu Xiaodong rushed to pay the car fee. She also served as an accountant of Chunyang's Beijing Office. Zhang Yang handed over the matters in the money and accounts to her. Li Jianquan was just a temporary firefighter, and his main job was to deal with those petitioners. Although he was in the Beijing Office, no one in the Beijing Office regarded him as a real member.

Qin Qing smiled. With Yu Xiaodong's accompanying him, he returned to the room arranged for her. Although Chunyang's Beijing Office was well decorated, except for Qin Qing, other county-level leaders rarely chose to stay here. The main reason is that the Beijing Office is all their own people, and they are very clear about each other's background. This is a convenience and inconvenience. Before Qin Qing came to Beijing, he had considered staying in a hotel outside. After all, the scandal between her and Zhang Yang spread all over the city in Chunyang. He wanted to study at the Central Party School.

During a while, I had to contact Zhang Yang, but later I thought that even if I didn’t go to the Beijing office and did not meet Zhang Yang, I would not be able to control the mouths of outsiders. What others wanted to say could only let them say, do their duty well, and be upright and not afraid of shadows. However, the bouquet of red roses in her hand was really eye-catching, and Yu Xiaodong saw her beautiful eyes shining. Director Xiao Zhang dared to act and openly expressed his love to the beautiful county magistrate. Since Qin Qing accepted it so calmly, it seemed that the rumors about them were indeed credible.

After Qin Qing took a shower and changed his clothes, he followed Yu Xiaodong to the restaurant. Zhang Yang had already prepared a lunch. He knew that Qin Qing's temperament very well and knew that she didn't like extravagance and waste, and her diet was mainly light. In addition to asking Lao Jiang to pack the roast duck back in Quanjude, he only made four colds, two roasts, and two fried foods, but this was much higher than the official standard of four dishes and one soup.

Qin Qing was not a person who took the opportunity to exaggerate himself. Although she gave a rigorous impression of many people, she was actually tolerant. She smiled and expressed her gratitude to all the members of the Beijing Office. Zhang Yang originally prepared a bottle of Moutai, but Qin Qing said that there were important things to do in the afternoon and could not drink. Besides, today is not a legal day off, and he could not drink according to the system. In front of others, Zhang Yang also showed rare cooperation.

After lunch, Zhang Yang called a taxi and personally took Qin Qing to the Central Party School located at No. 100 Dayouzhuang, Haidian District to report. He originally wanted to wait for Qin Qing to come back after finishing his work, but Qin Qing told him not to wait and take a taxi back by himself after reporting.

Zhang Yang also had something to do in the afternoon. Before he left Chunyang, Chen Chongshan had entrusted him to do two things, one was to deliver things to Chen Xue, which he had done, and the other was to give words to others. Zhang Yang almost forgot about this matter. He found the words when he was tidying up in the room just now, and then he remembered what he promised Chen Chongshan. After Qin Qing had nothing to do after sending it to him, he looked all the way to him according to the address above.

The address is a military district courtyard near Xiangshan. The gate inspection was very strict. Zhang Yang took a long time to make the guard believe that he was not a bad guy. He was a Communist Party member and a state cadre with a strong root. The person Zhang Yang was looking for was Du Shankui. After hearing the name from the guard, Zhang Yang knew that the other person must be of a low level. However, he had already prepared for the senior officials in Beijing. The guard asked in detail what he wanted to send and who asked him to deliver it. Then he checked the items he brought. Then he made a phone call. Zhang Yang was a little impatient by the repeated inspections. He handed the letter to the guard and said, "Don't bother me, I'm just a postman. Now I'll leave the things here, and let Du Shankui pick them up when he has time."

After the guard called, he raised his head and said, "Chief, please come over!"

Zhang Yang frowned. Du Shankui was so arrogant. Thinking about Chu Yanran's grandfather Chu Zhennan was also the commander of the Beiyuan Military Region, why didn't he have such a big aura? He originally wanted to leave, but thinking about Chen Chongshan's instructions, and he was curious about why Chen Chongshan knew such a high-ranking official, so he decided to stay.

Du Shankui's home lives in Building No. 15, with blue bricks and red tiles, and the walls are covered with green crawlers. It seems that this building has been around for a long time. There is a guard waiting in front of the door. He saluted Zhang Yang and said, "Are you Zhang Yang?"

Zhang Yang nodded, and began to feel a little unhappy again. He was numb. It wasn't he going to start a new round of investigations? Fortunately, the guard did not continue to investigate, but instead invited him into the yard with a smile.

The front yard is a small garden. In the middle of the garden, there is a fish pond. An old man with silver hair and spirits is standing by the fish pond feeding koi. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around and his eyes fell on Zhang Yang's face. Perhaps the unique insight of the soldiers, Zhang Yang felt a familiar taste from him. Chu Zhennan also had this majestic temperament, but compared with Du Shankui, Chu Zhennan seemed more bold, and Du Shankui was much more restrained. He was straight and his figure was not tall, but he still had a charming demeanor when he raised his hands and feet: "Zhang Yang?"

Zhang Yang nodded: "Hello, Chief! I am Zhang Yang from Chunyang's Beijing Office. This time I was entrusted by Mr. Chen Chongshan to give you something."

Du Shankui nodded, and a rare smile appeared on his majestic face: "Chen Chongshan! I have written countless letters to this old monkey, and he finally was willing to give me a reply." He took the scroll in Zhang Yang's hand: "Come in and sit!"

Zhang Yang followed Du Shankui into the small building. The guards made tea for Zhang Yang. Du Shankui had already unfolded the scroll. Although Zhang Yang kept the scroll with him, he didn't know what was inside. He glanced curiously and saw a line of big words written on it - ten years of life and death! After not seeing him for a while, Chen Chongshan's writing skills were even more sophisticated, especially the transcendent character that Zhang Yang could not learn.

Du Shankui sighed: "Ten years of life and death are vast, and you will never forget it without thinking. What exactly can make you sad? Look at this world of dying? "

From Du Shankui's words, Zhang Yang had already speculated that the two were probably old comrades-in-arms. He took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Old Chief, have you known Mr. Chen for many years?"

Du Shankui's eyes stayed on the lines of big words and said thoughtfully: "It has been more than 40 years since the Liberation War. Chongshan is my life-savior. He was carrying me from the Korean battlefield back then. If it weren't for him, my life would have been taken away by the American imperialist artillery fire."

Zhang Yang did not know this past. Du Shankui and Chen Chongshan took two different paths. One chose to continue working in the military, while the other chose to understand Jiaguitian and devoted his love to the mountains and rivers. Zhang Yang also thought silently, wondering if Chen Chongshan saw through the world because of losing his son in middle age and finally embarked on the road of retirement? The career path has a huge temptation in Zhang Yang's eyes. The deeper he went into it, the more he felt that he could not give up. Zhang Yang admired those who could give up his career. It should take a lot of courage to resist this temptation.

When Du Shankui talked to Zhang Yang, an old lady with kind face walked into the door. She was wearing military uniform and short hair with her ears. She raised her hands and feet and smiled and said, "Old Du, a guest is here at home!" She is Du Shankui's wife Feng Yumei. Before retirement, she served as the leader of the Kongzheng Song and Dance Troupe. Judging from the old lady's dignified appearance, she must have been a graceful beauty when she was young.

Du Shankui happily introduced Zhang Yang to his wife. Zhang Yang saw that it was getting late and was about to say goodbye and leave, his paging rang. He looked at it and asked him to call back and picked up his phone. Then he found that the phone was out of power.

Feng Yumei saw the details and pointed to the phone in the living room and said, "Xiao Zhang, use our phone to reply, don't delay your business!"

Zhang Yang smiled embarrassedly, then picked up the phone and dialed it back to Chu Yanran.

Chu Yanran's voice seemed a little angry: "Zhang Yang, why don't you answer my phone?"

"Miss, my phone is out of battery. Will you go back to you if you don't find the phone?"

"I want to notify you that the Medical Beauty Center will officially open on October 18th. You should come back to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony that day!"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the medical beauty center would still be opened. He has left the maternal and child health hospital now and has little to do with that matter. He coughed and said, "Let's see if I can take time. I just arrived in Beijing and many things have not been sorted out, you know..."

"No one asked you to come back. I'll tell you, you took this matter back. If you don't come back, I'll withdraw my investment!" Chu Yanran's tone was strange, and it seemed not so consistent.

Zhang Yang smiled secretly. It was not difficult to hear that Chu Yanran just wanted to go back by herself. He lowered his voice and said, "What... do you miss me?"

"She is so beautiful, who misses you..." Chu Yanran's voice suddenly lowered.

Zhang Yang looked at Du Shankui and his wife. They were probably afraid of delaying their speech, so they both went to the yard. Zhang Yang said, "Girl, I'm at my house. It's inconvenient to speak now. I'll call you immediately when I go back."

Chu Yanran nodded a little unhappy, but soon said in surprise: "Who are you in? Grandpa Du's house?"

Zhang Yang was stunned and immediately reacted again. Du Shankui was an old general, and Chu Yanran's grandfather was the commander of the Beiyuan Military Region. It is impossible for the two of them to know each other when they went over, otherwise why would Chu Yanran be so familiar with this phone number? He looked outside: "Do you know Du Shankui?"

Chu Yanran let out a string of silver bell-like laughter: "What a coincidence, give me the phone number to Grandpa Du, I'll talk to him!"

Zhang Yang believed it now. The world was really small, and you could meet acquaintances when you go out. Du Shankui not only knew Chen Chongshan, but also Chu Zhennan. Maybe the three of them knew each other, not only now, but now they were concerned about the relationship network. In the past, the older generation also paid attention to this thing, so Zhang Yang politely invited Du Shankui in and handed the phone receiver to his hands.
