Contention

After sending Zou Feiniao home, Lu Yuexi drove to the reserved tea garden.

This place is located at the end of the alley, in a separate courtyard of more than 300 square meters. The plaque at the door is inscribed with the four characters "Egret Tea Garden" in Song Dynasty. The wall is low, and pear tree branches protrude along the wall.

Entering the gate, the inner room is quiet, with the occasional scent of tea wafting through, slightly bitter and astringent.

The reception room is on the left side of the entrance, a single room of pine wood, burning sandalwood for relaxation.The owner of the tea garden is friends with Lu Min, and Lu Yuexi chose this place for this reason.

Seeing her, the boss shook his cattail fan and nodded to her, without saying much, he called the waiter to lead her to the reserved private room.

Pushing open the one-character door, Yu Huai was sitting on the Huang Shouju Taishi chair and staring quietly out of the window with a calm expression.The cup of Mengshan Yunwu on the table in front of her has lost its heat, but the aroma is still strong, but it seems that she hasn't taken a sip.

The two attendants she brought, a man and a woman, stood guard on both sides of the door.

After Lu Yuexi entered the door, he briefly greeted Yu Huai, then smiled slightly at the two attendants, and said: "I have also booked the room next door, and the tea is ready, you two are waiting at the door. Bored, why not move to the next door to sit?"

The two of them didn't move, Yu Huai coughed lightly and said, "Go, I'll call you if something happens."

Only then did they nod at Yu Huai and retreat respectfully.

The waiter who followed brought in another cup of hot tea, which was the pekoe silver needle that Lu Yuexi liked to drink. After serving it to the table, the waiter silently retreated and closed the door.

Lu Yuexi sat down, and was not in a hurry to speak, but lifted the lid of the tea and blew slowly.

The two sat facing each other. Because they had met once, the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Yu Huai stared out of the window again, his eyes were dark, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why don't you drink tea?" Lu Yuexi took a sip and put down the teacup, "It shouldn't be hot anymore. Doesn't Boss Yu like this kind of tea?"

Yu Huai came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Not really."

"..." Lu Yue looked at her expression with pity, and his eyes casually skipped out of the window, "So, Boss Yu has something on his mind?"

Yu Huai replied warmly: "I remembered some things, quite a lot. They are all about Ou City."

"Oh?"

"This place in Oucheng..." Yu Huai said, sighing, "It's a pity."

There was no deep meaning in her words, Lu Yuexi listened calmly, understood what she meant, but didn't say anything, just listened to her continue to narrate.

"In my mind, I have been here twice before. One was five years ago, and the other was longer. At the end of the last century, Oucheng was opened for ten years, and I was just 15 years old. When my grandfather went south to inspect Take me with you." Yu Huai lowered his eyes, and finally took a sip from the celadon teacup to moisten his throat, and then continued, "That's my first time here, the streets and alleys are full of shops, very lively , the people here are also very fashionable, and they sell almost everything. My grandfather said that this is the hometown of private management. I think it really lives up to the title.”

"...Then, it was five years ago, and after that, it is now." Yu Huai didn't comment much, just stroked the lid of the cup with the koi printed on it with his fingers, "The water town in the south of the Yangtze River has a good boundary, but, it's really a pity .”

Lu Yuexi drank the tea silently and kept silent.The person in front of her is much older than her, and because of her background, her experience and vision are much richer than hers.

Her impression of the scene Yu Huai described was already very faint. At that time, she was just born, and after she became sensible, the economy of Ou City had already gradually declined.

The Lu family started from Lu Yuexi's grandfather's generation, and Lu Yuexi's father's wealth was borrowed from the trend of current affairs/politics.

Most of the merchants in Oucheng had similar experiences. Many of them started from scratch, flourished in the middle, and then gradually declined.

So under the influence of his ears and eyes, Lu Yuexi's temperament is basically inherited from this old city, arrogant and perverse, unyielding, stubborn and stubborn.

When Yu Huai mentioned the current Ou City, he used the word "unfortunate".Thinking about it is a sigh.When Lu Yuexi was on a business trip, she often heard other people's evaluation of Oucheng, either flattering or disdainful, and what's more, she would refute it bluntly after hearing a few words with a sense of superiority.

But Yu Huai's tone was genuinely regrettable. People in her position probably worried about the country and the people, and treated everyone equally.

Hearing these words, Lu Yuexi felt inexplicably emotional, and was speechless for a while.

She specifically asked Yu Huai to meet this time, firstly to find out her attitude towards Zou Feiniao, secondly, because of his status and status, last time Zhou Weiye made a special trip to introduce them to each other, Lu Yuexi couldn't get her contact information, How to say this time, at least I have to deepen my impression.

She doesn't care, but Hui Yan needs it.

Seeing that she was silent, Yu Huai couldn't help but smiled: "It's a rare fate, and we're still talking about this topic. I shouldn't be, how could anyone talk about someone's hometown like that..."

"No, Boss Yu has seen a lot and thought clearly." Lu Yuexi had already drank most of the tea in his cup, when a heron blew outside the window, causing both of them to look out.

"Speaking of which, when you invited me this time, it must have something to do with Feiniao." Yu Huai smiled slowly, "Let's talk about Feiniao, I really didn't expect that you actually knew her, no wonder You have been standing outside the lecture hall to watch that day, and the acquaintance you met was probably her."

"Ah."

"Finiao is a good boy, smart and decisive." Yu Huai said, "I have talked to her a few times. The little girl has a lot of ideas and is really good."

"What did she think of it with you?"

"Don't Miss Lu know?"

"She rarely talks to me."

"Maybe she was too embarrassed to speak." Yu Huai narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as if remembering something, "However, this child is much more than what you see."

"I know." Lu Yuexi smiled, "Although it's hard for me to understand what she wants to do, I know she has a lot to pursue."

For some reason, Yu Huai sighed.

"But I have something to ask Boss Yu." Lu Yuexi said, leaning slightly towards him, "How can a person of your status be so fond of Feiniao?"

Yu Huai did not deny this, and said softly, "Because she is a good child."

"There are a lot of good kids in the world, and there must be more good kids around you." Lu Yuexi pointed out.

Yu Huai couldn't deny it, and raised his hand to touch an earring he was wearing.This pair of emerald earrings is what Lu Yuexi has the deepest impression on her, and presumably everyone else does too.

"Finiao is still young, so I only treat you as an elder with a good relationship. If there is any offense in getting along with you in the future, please bear with me."

"It was I who approached her on my own initiative, and I should be the one who offended." Yu Huai was unexpectedly humble, but inexplicably, a little sad, "I am, it seems that she is very considerate."

Lu Yuexi's eyes twitched, always feeling that these words were a bit subtle.

But Yu Huai continued to say in a deep voice: "Finiao is really too much like my old Zhao."

"Old Zhao?"

"Well, my husband." Yu Huai looked up at her. The woman was in her 40s, and her eyebrows and eyes twitched when she mentioned her husband, "He is also a student of X University, one of the founding members of Lvheng, and Fei Like Bird, they also participated in the debate team, and what's more, they have almost the same ideas. When Feiniao told me her thoughts, I was not afraid of your jokes. I really felt that Lao Zhao suddenly stood in front of me."

Lu Yuexi was startled, hearing Yu Huai's tone, could it be possible?

"Then he now..."

Yu Huai turned his head away and sighed: "Ten years ago when I was working as an inspector in Yunnan, I encountered a mountain torrent and died."

"...Sorry." Lu Yuexi couldn't help sighing when he heard the words.

"It's okay, it's all over." Yu Huai smiled lightly, and suddenly pointed to the earrings he was wearing, and said calmly, "This pair of earrings was given by my old Zhao. He went to Yunnan not long after my birthday, so I bought them I asked someone to go to Myanmar to choose a piece of jadeite for me to make earrings. Now that I think about it, at least I was lucky to receive it before he left."

Lu Yuexi looked at the earring and nodded, "Well, the earring is very beautiful."

"It's a pity that I didn't take any photos for him to see." Yu Huai took another sip of tea, and his eyes became a little sad, "After Lao Zhao left, I always felt that there were many things that I hadn't done yet, and I had to help him do them." .After he took office, he seldom took care of Luheng's affairs, and rarely mentioned those ideas."

Lu Yuexi always thought that it was Zou Feiniao's lecture that attracted Yu Huai and made her appreciate the child, but she didn't expect that there was a more complicated reason.

She also understood Yu Huai's attitude towards Zou Feiniao, but for some reason, she felt heavy in her heart.

"About me, Feiniao should know something from you." Yu Huai was a little amused, "She rarely talks to me today."

"She's still young and needs to get used to it."

"It's not young anymore." Yu Huai rarely refuted her, "Don't treat her as a child. The support of her family is very important to her, so listen to her more."

Lu Yuexi just smiled and said nothing.

"Miss Lu should have something to tell me." Yu Huai said calmly, "My story is over, let's listen to Miss Lu's story."

Lu Yuexi nodded, rang the summoning bell, and called the waiter to change a cup of tea for them.

Two days later, Zou Feiniao went out again and took Yu Huai around.Lu Yuexi picked him up as usual, and before Yu Huai left, she wanted to treat him to a meal.

The other party said: "Next time."

Lu Yuexi understood the deep meaning, so he stopped insisting.

Not long after Yu Huai left, Zou Feiniao also had to go back to Xiamen to continue his internship.

Lu Yuexi felt a lot of resentment about this, but he didn't dare to say much.The two are considered close now, although they are not as eager as before, but anyway, Zou Feiniao has not avoided her, and is willing to accept some of her attentions. If she asks too much, she is afraid that the other party will be annoying.

As for the foundation, Zou Feiniao thought over and over again, and asked Lu Yuexi if he would like to cooperate with Luheng, and let some people in the Luheng Association handle it.

As for the website, she will be responsible for the planning and operation, and currently plans to focus on popular science.

Seeing that Zou Feiniao was so troublesome, Lu Yuexi naturally wished for it.She was also planning to hire someone to take care of it, after all, it was difficult for her to find time.

It would be great to cooperate with Luheng, since they are also a formal organization and have experience.

So Zou Feiniao went to ask the president again, and the matter was finalized.
