"I am Chen Bo, you are..." Chen Bo thought that he was also an old acquaintance of Bai Yongnian.
This man did not answer who he was, but instead introduced Chen Bo to where this place was.
As they talked, the man led Chen Bo in another direction. After walking up dozens of steps, the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear. Although the surroundings were still dark, a large lake came into view.
The location they were in was under a pavilion. Drinking tea in this place during the day should be a pleasure.
"This lake is called Lanhu, and this villa is called Lanshe, Shetongshe. I am a businessman. I was able to build this villa in this place because of Bai Lao's help. After the villa was built, they often drank here, so, I gave this place a name, Lanshe, and you can come here often in the future. If you need my help with anything, come here to see me."
Chen Bo didn't speak the whole time, just listening to the man talk about the reason why he came here, and the three words he specifically said, Shetongshe.
Although Chen Bo did not have a high degree of diploma, his understanding was not bad. He had already guessed what this person meant by these three words. He was saying that this so-called Lanshe is the place where these people gather. It seems that it is not open to the public. , but far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and less than an hour's drive from the provincial capital, it is perfect for this group of people to discuss things here.
"Lao Bai said that you took good care of him. Now you have arranged the guest house in Wuyang County. If you need any money, I can provide some help."
"Thank you. It's not necessary for now. How should I call you?" Chen Bo used the word you politely.
"Jin Qu, just call me Mr. Jin. This is my phone number. You can come to me at any time. Let's go. It's time to serve the food. Let's eat and drink." Jin Qu said.
Chen Bo followed Jin Qu to the room. When the two of them entered, the room gradually became quiet.
Although he was nothing in front of these people, whether it was wealth or official position, his position was arranged next to Bai Yongnian.
After Jin Qu led him to Bai Yongnian, Bai Yongnian reached out and patted his arm, and said softly: "Chen Bo, pour me a glass of wine for all the leaders..."
A wine dispenser was prepared in front of his seat, so Chen Bo picked up the wine dispenser and began to distribute the wine to the people present in a counterclockwise direction.
Everyone noticed the meaning of Bai Yongnian's words and poured a glass of wine for him for the leaders. Therefore, whenever he went to a leader to pour wine, these people stood up and were polite.
As he poured the wine counterclockwise, the positions of these people began to slowly decrease. When he reached the position at the door, the positions of the people sitting here reached the lowest point. As he continued to move forward, the positions of these people began to slowly increase again. High, until Bai Yongnian's left side, that is his position.
Chen Bo used the excuse of taking care of Bai Yongnian and didn't drink at all. This made Bai Yongnian very happy. Not only that, during the entire banquet, Chen Bo didn't say a word and kept sitting there, occasionally pouring Bai Yongnian a glass. Tea, nothing else happens anymore.
In front of Chen Bo, these people were talking about who died in the past ten years, who was promoted, who was not a thing, all kinds of things, and it was very lively.
Chen Bo finally heard that not all of these people knew Bai Yongnian, because they came here to represent the people behind them, and now it is not convenient for those people to come in person, so they can only send their own secretaries or The son came here to see Bai Yongnian.
Whether it's to avoid suspicion, to be afraid of getting into trouble, or just to give Bai Yongnian some face, they are here after all. These are the people Bai Yongnian has called, and those who haven't called him, so they just pretend not to know. That’s it, it won’t come.
After the banquet, most people went back to the provincial capital, but a few people stayed and wanted to stay in this house for one night before leaving.
The people who stayed were basically Bai Yongnian's old acquaintances. Bai Yongnian didn't drink, so he was in good spirits. Chen Bo was arranged to rest early, but he didn't sleep.
"Mr. Jin, I have some things to do and have to go to the provincial capital. I will pick up Mr. Bai early tomorrow morning. You should take good care of him. This is his medicine. Remember to take it on time. I will tell him..."
Bai Yongnian glanced at Chen Bo and asked, "Going to the provincial capital for business?"
"Well, I have a friend who made an appointment to meet tonight. Are you okay here?" Chen Bo asked.
"No problem, go ahead and pay attention to safety." Bai Yongnian said with a smile.
After Chen Bo left, Jin Qu walked to the door and watched his car leave before returning.
Bai Yongnian looked at Jin Qu and asked, "What do you think of him?"
"The people Mr. Bai likes are all good ones, like me." Jin Qu joked, and several others also laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense. He almost called you uncle. Alas, he was suddenly separated by your brother-in-law. Look, how can you help him relax a little? Is there still hope?" Bai Yongnian asked.
"I can't be the boss of the two of them. It's not like you don't know about my relationship with my brother-in-law. Now his eyes are on the top of his head. Since my parents passed away, I have had several quarrels with Guan Jiashu. My sister is too lazy to talk to me now. Apart from visiting the graves of my parents during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival, I have never had time to see each other. Well, that’s it,” Jin Qu said.
Chen Bo drove all the way to the main urban area of the provincial capital. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the streets began to quiet down. Following the navigation, Chen Bo came to a bar, parked the car, and sat in the car to give it to that person. Someone made a phone call.
But after making several calls, no one answered. They made an appointment to meet at a bar, but Chen Bo didn't want to go in. He thought he could just meet and chat outside, but he didn't know that they didn't like this at all.
Chen Bo entered the bar as agreed. He could faintly hear the sounds inside, but as soon as he entered the door, a huge sound of heavy metal music hit his face. As he went down the stairs, the conduction of this sound became more obvious.
Chen Bo walked into the bar. Under the dazzling lights, he saw a man in a yellow hat shaking the wine in the cup at the bar. He walked over and sat next to him.
"A drink?" the man asked.
"Don't drink. I drove here and have to leave later. Do you want to talk somewhere else?" Both Chen Bo and the man were afraid that the other person wouldn't hear them, so they almost had to lean into each other's ears to talk.
"No, let's talk here. This is where I met her for the first time. It's safe here..."
"Is it safe here?" Chen Bo looked around, but he really didn't see it.
