After an hour, Peng Ran finally arrived.
Peng Ran's spirit was renewed.
Although I haven't had enough rest these past few days and have panda eyes, there is a lot of energy in my bones and I look much more energetic than before.
Peng Ran came out and ignored all his close friends. Instead, he walked through the crowd and hurried towards Yan Qi. Without saying anything, he took the initiative to bow.
Yan Qi hurriedly returned the gift: "Master Peng is dedicated to serving the people, and he deserves this blessing."
Everyone was stunned.
Yan Qi actually has such a great reputation?
Although everyone was Peng Ran's best friend, Peng Ran had never been so polite.
Moreover, Peng Ran is a very upright person and does not mess with those frivolous red tapes.
But I didn't expect that when seeing Yan Qi, his posture would be so low.
What is going on?
Deng Hong saw it and was amazed.
He is not an ordinary tycoon, but one of the top tycoons in Suzhou.
His business is very powerful and affects everyone's jobs.
Yes, he is a big grain merchant.
Deng Hong travels all over the country and is well-informed. He has a good relationship with Peng Ran. When he sees that Peng Ran ignores him and instead bows to Yan Qi, he guesses that Yan Qi must be very kind to Peng Ran.
This Yan Qi, if he doesn't take action, he will do it. Once he takes action, he will listen to the thunder in the silent place. He is really good at it.
He had the idea of making friends with Yan Qi.
Peng Ran didn't say anything. Even if he didn't speak, the silence here was better than the sound.
He looked at everyone and cupped his hands: "Dear friends, I have made you worried. It is not because I deliberately shut you out. It's because I have hit rock bottom in my life. I am discouraged, my illness has relapsed, and I have all kinds of worries. , I am very worried, I really don’t want to be disturbed, and my official career is at the end, and I don’t want to implicate all of my old friends. That’s why I turned you away.”
All I have to say is this, unspeakably sad.
Everyone was filled with emotion.
Deng Hong stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Peng, after decades of friendship, can we really let others go? Wouldn't that mean that I am an unjust person? Although I am a businessman, I am a man of benevolence and righteousness." Tao, never dare to forget."
Peng Ran was very excited: "Dear friends, please come to the study to reminisce about the past. Let's drink and talk to each other."
Everyone gathered until noon, and then they dispersed with Peng Ran reluctantly.
Peng Ran watched everyone leave and shook his head: "Old friends, we will meet again one day."
Deng Hong looked at Yan Qi like an old tree with its roots entwined, and had no intention of leaving, nor did he ask why Yan Qi was like this.
Deng Hong greeted Yan Qi: "Mr. Yan, I still owe you a meal. I don't have time today. You must give me a chance to make up for it some other time, okay?"
Yan Qi nodded: "I will definitely kill you once."
"Haha, I couldn't ask for it."
Deng Hong left after exchanging pleasantries.
In the study, only Yan Qi and Peng Ran were left.
Peng Ran burst into tears of gratitude: "Master Yan, you and I have never met, but you are like a living Bodhisattva who has helped me fulfill my long-cherished wish. Wow, I'm so excited that I don't even know what to say."
Yan Qidao: "This is not me helping you, it's God helping Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng is a good official. If you are a good official, you will be rewarded well."
"Hey, good news!"
Peng Ran waved to Yan Qi: "Master Yan, come with me to the back garden. Wan Niang also wants to thank you."
The two went to the back garden together.
There is a thatched house hidden here.
Wan Niang went to the kitchen and cooked some home-cooked dishes.
After they were all served, Yan Qi and Peng Ran walked in.
Wan Niang was a little embarrassed when she saw Yan Qi, so she came over and bowed: "Master Yan, I really... thank you."
He rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say: "Well, Mr. Yan, please sit down quickly and drink tea."
Yan Qi joked: "Then I really sat down? Will it disturb your two-person world?"
Wan Niang was so ashamed that she looked like a young girl.
That smile is so beautiful.
She is indeed a beauty.
Although he is fifty years old, he has been a vegetarian for many years and the toxins in his body are very small. After taking off his nun's clothes, he looks extremely young.
Seeing Wan Niang's charming expression, charming eyes, and neatly tidying up the bed, one knew that Peng Ran and Wan Niang were in trouble just now.
Otherwise, how could the bedding be so neat?
Peng Ran and Yan Qi had a drink.
Peng Ran gave Yan Qi a thumbs up: "Master Yan, I didn't expect you to be so young. I thought you were at least in your thirties. Hey, you are such a genius. You have created many precedents."
Yan Qidao: "Master Peng knows that I am a person? I am just a servant. At best, I am just a person who steals jade and fragrance. I don't have any real ability."
Peng Ran was full of admiration: "Master Yan helped the Lin family come back to life, rectified the water transportation, and opened a medicine shop. Everything was people-oriented and the people were the root. I admire you very much. What's even more rare is that you are just a servant, but you do How can one not be admired for doing something earth-shattering?"
Yan Qi laughed and said, "I feel a little stinky to be praised so highly by Master Peng. Well...can I wag my tail?"
"Ha ha!"
Peng Ran had always been serious, but he couldn't help but laugh at Yan Qi.
Wan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, she really had the charm of her youth.
Peng Ran added: "Mr. Yan, to tell you the truth, I am impressed by your reputation. I originally wanted to rush to Jinling to talk to you about people's livelihood, reduce taxes for you, and allow you to better serve the people. "
"Everything was planned well, but I didn't expect that a Jie Sanjia would show up halfway. Hey, this Jie Sanjia... it's okay not to mention it, or not to say it."
Peng Ran was a little discouraged: "Jie Sanjia is a sinister and mean person, and his seemingly generous bookishness is all fake. He wants me to disappear in Suzhou immediately. This person does things without principles and is ruthless. When he first came to Suzhou, he actually It’s turned the world upside down, and there are a lot of complaints. Moreover, Jie Sanjia actually deliberately targeted you."
Yan Qi chuckled: "It doesn't matter if he targets me, but his methods are ruthless and he uses every possible means. He even harms the interests of the people and uses the economy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a card in his hand to seek benefits for himself. This is too much. It’s too much.”
Peng Ran shook his head: "I am also at my wits end now, and there is nothing I can do to defeat the top three. Even if he does the opposite, what can I do?"
"Hey, my own official career doesn't matter. However, I am sorry for Prime Minister Cao's trust in me. If Prime Minister Cao asks me about it when I rush to hell, how should I answer?"
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Master Peng, why are you so sad? You can continue to be your Suzhou weaver."
Peng Ran looked at Yan Qi and shook his head: "Mr. Yan, you don't know the turmoil in the court. It's a miracle that I have been able to weave in Suzhou for so many years."
Yan Qidao: "If Mr. Peng doesn't treat me as an outsider, I would like to hear the details."
Peng Ran chuckled: "The matter between you and Miss An Qing is so turbulent, how can I treat you as an outsider?"
