Zhang Yongsheng said disapprovingly: "It's Chinese New Year and the police are resting at home. Who will come out to check? My mother is just worrying about it and is overreacting. Your car is not as good at driving as mine. My father's big truck is the same as mine." It’s a smooth ride, no bumps at all.”
Bai Zhixuan knew that her driving skills were average and said with a smile: "I know you were taught by your uncle and practiced on a big truck. You don't have to show off to me all the time. Besides, you must drink today, and you can't do it after drinking." It’s best for me to drive a car.”
Zhang Yongsheng agreed with this point, nodded and said: "Okay, you can drive while I drink. The Dong family is a big family, and there are many relatives in the family. There is no way to avoid drinking today."
Bai Zhixuan asked curiously: "How do you people in the martial arts celebrate the New Year? Do you want to make friends with martial arts?"
Zhang Yongsheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, this is the first time I meet people from the martial arts community during the Chinese New Year. Those who usually live in seclusion, such as Jin Kai's masters and brothers, and the great-grandchildren of the great family, are no different from ordinary people. The Dong family is open to the public. A serious sect, the way of doing things is definitely different."
Bai Zhixuan nodded and said: "That's right. Those who live in seclusion will definitely not make a big fuss. Anyone who opens the door will be proud, and the party will definitely be big. If you can bring Zhao Yunfei with you, you can also increase his knowledge."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said: "Dong Qishan and I just made it up on the spur of the moment and never thought about him. It's good for me to explore the way first. Zhao Yunfei has more relatives celebrating the New Year than me, so he may not be able to spare time. I'll bring him with me next time." , there will be a meeting of the Wushu Association in Jiangyuan in April, so I can bring him along."
Bai Zhixuan said with some confusion: "You have to go to school and practice martial arts. How can you be busy? Zhao Yunfei will report to the Provincial Sports Institute in the second half of the year. He is much more relaxed than you."
Zhang Yongsheng shrugged and said: "I'm laying the foundation for the future. I'll pave the road first so that I can use it later. I've arranged work for Zhao Yunfei, so I can't just be a hands-off shopkeeper. You don't have to worry about your grades. I'm now My grades are very stable, and following Chen Li’s path, I have hope for an undergraduate degree.”
When Chen Li was mentioned, Bai Zhixuan was inexplicably jealous and said, "If it weren't for your grades, I wouldn't let you see her. That person is not an economical person and has too many small calculations in his mind."
Zhang Yongsheng said with laughter and laughter: "You women are all so petty. She and I have a learning relationship, so don't think nonsense. If you have such spirit, why not think about how you will pass the school exam? The school exam will be in one month, what on earth do you think?" Which schools are you planning to choose?"
Bai Zhixuan sighed: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'm struggling in my heart. The Art College of Jiangyuan Normal University has a lot of familiar people, but it is newly established after all, and the professional courses are not very popular. Xijiang University of Communication is pretty good, but I don't know anyone who is admitted. The certainty is not very high.”
"Do you want me to call Wang Xin and ask? She is also a well-known figure in the provincial circle. Maybe she can get into Xijiang Media through the back door? If people want sponsorship fees, they can give them appropriately. Anyway, our family doesn't have it now. This is the difference." Zhang Yongsheng suggested.
Bai Zhixuan shook her head and said: "If you really have to rely on sponsorship fees to get in, there may be problems in the future. Reputation is very important in the entertainment industry, and tabloids often stare at it. If someone digs up dirt in the future, although it won't be a big deal, But after all, you give people a handle, whether it’s easy to talk or not.”
Zhang Yongsheng sighed: "I heard that many models and actors use money to get involved, and some even directly get rich first and then borrow resources to open their own way."
Bai Zhixuan nodded and said: "Although the current trend is indeed like this, if you want to become big, you must keep yourself clean. Those people just get a vote and leave, so naturally they don't care about reputation. I'm not here to make money. If I just If I want to make money, I might as well stay in my dad’s engineering company.”
Dong Qishan's home is located in the center of Hegang County. It belongs to the old city. The location is very good and the surrounding area is relatively prosperous. It was very lively along the way, and the main roads in the county were bustling with traffic, making the Accord stop and go. It took Zhang Yongsheng about half an hour to arrive at the gate of Dong's courtyard.
Dong's house is a large courtyard with two entrances. The main entrance faces an antique street. There is an antique archway at the entrance of the street, which looks very grand. It is said that there were many escort agencies on this street in those days, and watch cases from all over the world gathered here, and the business was extremely prosperous.
In this way, although this street still maintains its ancient characteristics, it no longer has the hustle and bustle of the past, but it is a bit quiet in the midst of chaos. It is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. During the Chinese New Year, the business of the shops is very good. Only here there are very few tourists and it still maintains the peace of the past.
The courtyard of the Dong family has a very grand shape, with two antique gates in the middle and tall blue brick courtyard walls on both sides. There are glazed tiles on the courtyard wall to provide shade, and there are various reliefs of martial arts training on the wall, which shows that a lot of thought went into the construction. A large gold plaque hangs above the main entrance, with the three characters "Zhengshan Hall" shining brightly.
Zhang Yongsheng had heard that this was the name of the Dong family, coming from the name of a senior in the Dong family's glory days. This hall name is very famous in the province, and everyone in the martial arts community talks about Zhengshan Hall Dong family with thumbs up. Dong Zhenwu also relied on this reputation to become like a fish in the world and brought a lot of resources to Dong Qishan.
Bai Zhixuan parked the car at the gate of Dong's house, and Zhang Yongsheng took out his mobile phone to call Dong Qishan. Before the call was connected, a young man came out of the side door next to the Dong family's main door. The man looked impatient, waving his hands, cursing and approaching the Accord, as if he was saying something.
Bai Zhixuan rolled down the window and heard the other party say loudly: "How many times have I told you that parking is not allowed here. Leave now. If you don't leave, I won't be polite."
Dong Qishan's call was not answered for the time being. Zhang Yongsheng hung up helplessly and replied: "We are here to see Dong Qishan. I made an appointment with him. Is he at home?"
The man looked at the two of them impatiently, frowned and said, "Are you here to see him? I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you. There are distinguished guests coming to visit today. You can make another appointment."
Bai Zhixuan said with some displeasure: "Why is this distinguished guest so arrogant? We have made an appointment in advance. Let him come out and we will meet first."
The man looked at Bai Zhixuan carefully and refused: "Contact him yourself. I'm not the gatekeeper. You guys drive away quickly and don't block here, affecting the entry and exit of distinguished guests."
Bai Zhixuan became a little angry and said: "This is a big road, and everyone can walk on it. Why do you have so much dignity as a distinguished guest? What right do you have to prevent us from parking? Go and call Dong Qishan quickly." When he comes out, tell him that his master is waiting for him here."
