It was already afternoon when Lu Qing and Zhong Baobao finished their meal and drank tea when they returned home. Fu Yanheng was walking in the backyard with Le Ning in his arms.

"Mom is back!" Fu Yanheng held Le Ning's little hand and waved to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing waved at the father and son and pointed upstairs with a smile, meaning that they should take a shower and change clothes first.

After a while, Lu Qing came down wearing home clothes to join the father and son.

Lu Qing likes the Chinese-style scenery in the backyard the most, with pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water. Just taking a walk there can calm your mind.

He took his daughter in his arms and kissed her little face. Fu Yanheng stretched his face towards him and said, "And me."

Lu Qing also kissed her husband gently.

"You didn't go out today?"

"They asked me to play ball, but I was sore all over after diving yesterday, so I didn't go. How are you? Did you have lunch with them?"

Lu Qing looked around and saw that there was no one around except Huang Ying who was following her from a distance, so she told him about Zhong Baobao.

"So there is such a relationship. The Jiang family has done a great job in currying favor with them this time."

"Maybe it's true love. Aren't they classmates? I think Jiang Zian cares about her a lot. He didn't let her drink white wine when he toasted her, but gave her drinks instead."

"You come back and talk about this young couple. I thought it was his father-in-law who was powerful, but now it seems that her uncle is the core of the family."

"Her father is too old to be promoted. Her uncle is still in his prime."

Fu Yanheng asked, "What do you think? Are you really going to follow me to the north? It will be difficult to conduct business in a new place with a new neck and legs."

Lu Qing waved her hand and handed Le Ning to Huang Ying. "Oh, why is this child so heavy? It's so tiring to carry her while walking. Why can't she walk yet?"

Huang Ying smiled and said, "How can a child of this age walk? You are too anxious." She carried Le Ning back to the East Building.

Lu Qing said, "There are a lot of rumors, all up and down, and I don't want to get involved in this muddy water."

"It's impossible to go down. Wouldn't that be a big deal? It's just a matter of going up or moving? How can we refuse then?"

"Huang Ying is right. We should not be impatient. I will not refuse now. Let's see what conditions he offers." Lu Qing handed the business card to Fu Yanheng. "I guess he will call me. It is not convenient for us to call him directly, even though they took the initiative to give us the contact information."

"His rank is not low. There have been great figures in this position before."

Lu Qing nodded, "I understand, that's why I'm hesitating too. Let me think about it. At worst, I can just spend money to buy some peace and quiet. Then I can invest some money to open a branch company. Whether it makes money or not, it's there."

Fu Yanheng put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Don't feel pressured. I heard that he has a very good reputation among officials."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I am considering it. There is no pressure. It is normal to want to do business."

Fu Junlin saw his elder brother and his wife from the back window on the third floor and shouted, "Brother, do you want to play table tennis and work up a sweat?!"

Fu Yanheng wanted to refuse, but Fu Daishi happened to be in the study on the second floor. Hearing his youngest son talking, he also opened the back window and said, "Fight! I'll be your referee!"

Fu Yanheng was a filial son. He wanted to make his father happy, so he got excited and shouted to Fu Junlin, "We can't fight for nothing. We have to bet on the host!"

"Okay! If you lose, give me your golden butterfly badge."

"You kid, I've been eyeing you for a long time. What if you lose?"

Fu Junlin smiled and said, "I'm betting on my dignity as the king of football."

Fu Yanheng waved his hand, "I don't agree with that. Who crowned you the king of football? That's not okay."

Fu Junlin asked again, "What do you want?"

"Ha! You asked me that. I want your Curry jersey."

"make a deal!"

Lu Qing knew that Fu Yanheng's tennis skills were not as good as his younger brother's, so she whispered, "You guys take your time playing. I'll go back and make some phone calls. I'll bring the tennis racket to your third brother later so you don't have to make another trip." After that, she turned and went back to her room.

Fu Yanheng looked at his wife's back before he realized what was happening. He shouted, "Who are you looking down on? Wait until I win you a signed jersey!"

Huang Dong had already prepared the scented tea for Lu Qing to drink when she came back. He then talked about a few household matters before leaving the study and closing the door.

Lu Qing was just thinking about which connection she could rely on to get the information when her cell phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Lin Luqing."

There was a deep male voice over there, "It's me."

"Did you change this number?"

"Yes, it's more convenient to use this in the mainland."

"Any instructions?"

"Thank you for the dowry you prepared for Cindy. It's a lot of money, right?"

Lu Qing smiled, "It's really not much, it just looks like a lot, this is the custom in Zhang Chen's place. This little money is nothing compared to the help you gave me, don't take it to heart! We have agreed that a doctor will go to check on uncle and aunt tomorrow, so don't go out, let's take care of them together."

"Okay, how are you doing? Is there anything I can do?"

Lu Qing suddenly had an idea. Maybe people outside know some things earlier than others. As the saying goes, "You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are already in it."

"Is there no one around you? Is it convenient to talk?"

"Just me, you say."

Lu Qing picked out the important part and said, "Everyone is waiting and watching now. It would be great if we could get some inside information."

Zhang Xueren nodded silently over there, "I understand. I'll text you when I have news."

"Don't be embarrassed about this. If you can understand, then understand. If it's inconvenient, don't force it."

"Lu Qing, are you still not confident in my ability to do things?"

"There's one more small matter. This morning, my financial director and I went to order wedding dresses. We saw a few pieces of fabric that we liked. Some are suitable for your sister, and some are suitable for your aunt. I'll have someone send them to your house tomorrow."

"Okay, why isn't mine?"

"I have the material for making cheongsam. If you want to wear it, I can make it for you."

There was a chuckle over there, "I've worn your clothes too."

"Stop it. You'll be criticized if you continue."

Lu Qing hung up the phone and contacted Master Fan's daughter-in-law. Today was Sunday, so she asked her to come before dinner if she had time.

From the window in the corridor, you can see the game between Fu Yanheng and his brother. Fu Yanheng and Fu Junlin both have right-handed straight rackets. Fu Yanheng, like his father, is better at backhand. Fu Junlin learned table tennis from a teacher at school. They each have their own style, but they both love to play chip shots.

Fu Yanheng's playing style was incompatible with his, and he was often annoyed by his slow and leisurely style of play. Once, he became more and more impatient and finally smashed his racket.

The old man was happy to see him smashing the racket. He said that this is how sports train people, and that they need to know their own strengths and weaknesses. There will always be people better than you, and different playing styles are mutually exclusive. You have to use your brain. People with strong limbs but simple minds cannot play high-end sports. Top athletes must have a good brain.

Today, the two brothers played the ball in Fu Junlin's advantage. Fu Daishi sat on one side, and Zhang Mingming fanned him.

The old man seemed more like he was observing the temperaments of his two sons than watching the game.

Fu Yanheng had won the first game 11-6 and lost the second game 7-11. Lu Qing knew the situation at a glance from upstairs. Fu Yanheng had been working on paperwork for a long time and his physical strength was not as good as his brother who played basketball every day. He could only win by changes and had to consider the opponent's judgment every time he served a ball.

Lu Qing shook her head, it was too tiring. People who like it would find it very enjoyable and interesting, while people who don’t like it would think it was a waste of brainpower.

Just like Go, Lu Qing is not allowed to play because it requires too much brainpower. Some people spend their entire lives obsessed with a small chessboard. Maybe they are very happy in their life, but in the end, their achievements in this life cannot escape from this chessboard.
