Chapter 435: Arrangements before the Mid-Autumn Festival

Time flies, and as October 10 is approaching, Yu Yimiao starts to pester Wang Gensheng again.

Because the public security department is going to hold a painting profiling skills competition, Yu Yimiao pesters Wang Gensheng and demands that she undergo a hellish special training.

During these four years, Yu Yimiao had a solid foundation in painting. She was able to study and practice diligently some of the techniques Wang Gensheng taught her. She could endure loneliness and hardship. She practiced hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and painted at least 50 paintings and portraits every day.

But Yu Yimiao always felt that Wang Gensheng, as a master, seemed to be holding back a trick that he would not teach her.

So Yu Yimiao has been pestering Wang Gensheng recently, insisting on learning special skills from him. No one knows whose slander she listened to, saying that if she wanted to learn all the skills, she would have to sleep with the master sooner or later. Wang Gensheng, who was not on guard, was almost succeeded by her.

In fact, Wang Gensheng felt very wronged in his heart. He did keep one trick up his sleeve, and he did so intentionally. However, what he kept was not a skill, but Ma Liang's magic pen.

It’s not that Wang Gensheng has any selfish motives, but it’s a matter that concerns his secrets and must not be disclosed.

When it comes to painting, Wang Gensheng often gives his apprentices special lessons, such as teaching them how to draw a portrait by looking at bones, describing the whole appearance by looking at the side profile, restoring a portrait by disfigured faces, psychological mapping, etc. There are many things he teaches.

She was even taught the technical restoration and surveying skills of those blurred and coded images in later generations.

Wang Gensheng taught Yu Yimiao all the knowledge he had gained over the years, and even racked his brains to cram all the painting techniques and theoretical knowledge taught in art academies of later generations into Yu Yimiao's head.

Even so, Yu Yimiao always felt that Wang Gensheng had unique skills and refused to teach her because her master always painted better than her.

It is said that the disciple is better than the master. Wang Gensheng reached the master level after five years of apprenticeship. In the past few years, his master went to the countryside and did not meet Wang Gensheng for several years, let alone talk about painting. I think his progress in the past few years should have surpassed that of his master.

But Yu Yimiao became more and more frustrated, as the gap between her and her master in painting became wider and wider.

As August 8th of the lunar calendar approached, good news came that Yu Yimiao's home had been unsealed, and Yu's father was able to come out and move around. As long as he did not leave the capital and did not go to special places, there would be no problem.

Although work has not yet resumed, it will not be long. Wang Gensheng remembers that the strong wind in 1976 was about to pass. Looking at the time, there are still about two years left.

It seems that the rumor last year that several big men returned to Beijing to take charge of the work was not false. In order to express his gratitude to Wang Gensheng for taking care of Yimiao over the past few years, he also arranged a job for Yu Yimiao.

Yu Ge went to Wang Gensheng's house and told him: "My parents want to have a reunion dinner at your house on August 8, the Mid-Autumn Festival, to express their gratitude to you in person."

When Wang Gensheng first received the news, he was quite surprised: "Isn't August 8 the Mid-Autumn Festival a day for family reunion? Aren't you going to your grandfather's house to celebrate?"

"Oh, on August 8th, the old man needs to attend a high-level event and has no time to reunite at home, so Father Yu decided to come to Wang Gensheng's house to spend the day together."

After Wang Gensheng thought about it for a moment, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded in agreement.

This represents the Yu family's recognition of Wang Gensheng. They truly treat him as one of their own family and spend this reunion festival with Wang Gensheng's family.

It seems that Wang Gensheng’s efforts over the past few years have not been in vain.

Out of respect and courtesy, Wang Gensheng did not forget to ask Brother Yu: "As a junior, I should go to your house to pay a visit. How can I let your parents come to my house?"

Brother Yu smiled, raised his hand, patted Wang Gensheng on the shoulder and said, "Although my father has been released from house arrest, the area around my home is still under surveillance by interested parties. It is inconvenient for you to be there."

Wang Gensheng only realized at this moment that this was the care and concern of the two old people for him. They did not want Wang Gensheng to come into the sight of those with ulterior motives so early, lest they would fight to the death and drag him down with them.

Now they are not able to protect Wang Gensheng, so they can only take a step back and go to Wang Gensheng's home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in person.

After receiving this news, Wang Gensheng went to find He Yuzhu and asked him to prepare cooking for his home and entertain guests on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Unfortunately, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the children of the big leader also returned home for a reunion and invited He Yuzhu to provide home service.

After thinking about it, Wang Gensheng could only find a compromise. He asked He Yuzhu to prepare a few cold dishes in advance, and a few semi-finished dishes, which could be served on the table after just a little heating.

Then, it shouldn’t be considered rude to prepare a hot pot.

What Wang Gensheng didn't expect was that Qin Huairu came to his house and seduced He Yuzhu to ask Wang Gensheng to arrange a job for Banggeng so that Banggeng could return to his hometown and the city.

Wang Gensheng frowned slightly. Bang Geng had been in the countryside for four years. Excluding the time for labor reform, he had met the standard to return to the city. What he lacked now was a work indicator.

He Yuzhu originally thought that this time he would go to the big leader's house to cook and ask the big leader for help. He thought that Wang Gensheng was also the director of the street-level public-private partnership reform office and had some power to arrange work targets.

As the elder brother-in-law, it would be more impressive to ask his brother-in-law for help, so he asked Wang Gensheng first. Wang Gensheng nodded slightly. He could not refuse He Yuzhu's request.

But thinking again about Bang Geng's life trajectory in the original plot, Wang Gensheng decided to cut off his source of trouble and agreed to He Yuzhu's request on the spot, saying it very happily.

"Let me assign him a work quota, no problem at all. But you have to remember, you must never tell this to the senior leaders."

"Why?" He Yuzhu was very confused.

"Why can't we ask the senior leaders for help? Because Banggeng has a criminal record, a child with stains. If we ask the senior leaders to arrange a job for him, what if Banggeng's past is dug up by someone with ulterior motives, and it's the senior leaders who arranged the job for him, people will say that the senior leaders have selfish motives and are behind this."

"If you throw dirty water on a big leader, it will be very difficult for him to handle it, and it will become an excuse for him to be attacked by his political enemies. So, for the sake of the big leader, try not to let him get involved."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu nodded, not quite understanding.

Wang Gensheng just didn’t believe that with him blocking the way from behind, could Bang Geng still become the ungrateful wolf king as in the original drama?
