On this day, Song Lihai and his party had a light meal, then left the Great Wall and returned to the capital.
After arriving at the hotel, Lu Changjiang asked Yu Jingjing: "Jingjing, how do you go back to school?"
Yu Jingjing was stunned. If Lu Changjiang had asked her this before, he would have arranged a car to take her back to school.
However, the thought that Lu Changjiang could take her to climb the Great Wall without mentioning anything about her father along the way, as if no one knew that Yu Guosheng had been kidnapped, gave her the greatest dignity.
After all, Yu Jingjing is a university student in the capital, and she can think about everything from the perspective of others.
When Song Lihai saw Lu Changjiang asking Yu Jingjing like this, he quickly said: "Director Lu, please first ask the mayor if he has any plans for the evening, okay?"
"If there is no arrangement, I will take Jingjing back to school. It just so happens that I can drive around the capital and kill two birds with one stone. Director Lu, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
Song Lihai's words and the expression on his face showed great respect for Lu Changjiang. Wu Defa on the side also answered: "Old Lu, it's best for you to call Mayor Qin. If Xiao Song and I have any arrangements, we can go there ourselves." It’s not good to ask.”
Song Lihai didn't expect that Wu Defa would speak for him. If Song Lihai called Qin Mingshan, it would have been no problem in the past. But now, Song Lihai could feel that Qin Mingshan was deliberately hiding many things from him.
"Okay, I'll call Mayor Mingshan and ask." Lu Changjiang responded after taking Wu Defa's words. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and made a call to Qin Mingshan in front of Wu Defa, Song Lihai and Yu Jingjing.
Qin Mingshan was playing chess with the old man enthusiastically. The old man was really good at chess. Qin Mingshan won less and lost more along the way.
At the beginning, Liu Shancai was still watching the game. Seeing that Qin Mingshan's chess skills were far better than his own, he stopped watching the game. He wanted to go back to Liangzhou and went to the airport in advance, so he left first.
Now only Qin Mingshan and the old man were left fighting in darkness. If Qin Mingshan's cell phone hadn't rang, the two of them would have lost track of time.
"Take it, take it, I'll wait for you." The old man looked at Qin Mingshan with a smile and said. Until this moment, Qin Mingshan didn't mention his position, and the old man didn't ask.
Qin Mingshan took out his cell phone and saw that it was Lu Changjiang's call. He was startled for a moment, but he quickly answered the call in front of the old man.
Lu Changjiang said on the other end of the phone: "Mayor Mingshan, we have returned from the Great Wall. What are our plans for the evening?"
Only then did Qin Mingshan realize that it was time for dinner, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the old man. Although the old man was over ninety years old, he was neither blind nor deaf. He heard the other party call Qin Mingshan the mayor, but he didn't expect him. Xiao Qinzi, who was shouting, was still the mayor of a city.
"Xiao Qinzi, if you are not busy, you can have dinner at my old man's house. You are actually the mayor of a city. You have been playing chess all afternoon. You are really calm. While you are eating, let's talk about the following. Tell me about the countryside." The old man said very kindly.
Qin Mingshan was immediately elated when he heard this, and quickly said to Lu Changjiang: "I will go back to the hotel later, and you can eat by yourself."
"By the way, Yangtze River, let Lao Wu and Xiao Song prepare the information about the Yinhai Lake Bridge. They will discuss specific matters with Yi Bilun tomorrow."
After Qin Mingshan said these words, he hung up the phone, looked at the old man with an apologetic look and said, "Old man, Brother Liu told me that I made a special trip to visit the old man today, just to play chess with him."
"This little Liuzi, every time I come here, I ask him to talk about the following situation. He doesn't know anything except about his project."
"I haven't been back to the countryside for several years. I really miss the mountain villages."
"Old man, old man, my legs and feet are inconvenient. My son won't let me go back to the mountain village to take a walk and take a look. He said it would be too troublesome for the local government."
"That's right. It doesn't make sense if I don't say hello to Zhengdao when I get there. Say hello to Zhengdao. He has to be busy arranging this and that for me."
"Besides, at my age, if I go down, I have to bring a doctor with me. Thinking about it, it would really be a huge effort, so I haven't gone."
"Xiao Qinzi, come on, come on, come on, I'll let the kitchen cook a few dishes. You can have two drinks with me and tell me about the great changes in the mountain village."
When the old man mentioned the mountain village, his eyes lit up. The older a person gets, the easier it is to doubt the mountain village of his childhood. Qin Mingshan understands this.
"Okay, okay, old man, as long as you are not afraid of me disturbing you, I won't be polite. I will stay here to dine."
"Come on, come on, old man, keep going, keep going, I'm going to beat you in this set." Qin Mingshan was in such a good mood, God helped him, Lu Changjiang's phone call was a logical one, so he could show it in front of the old man. of talent.
After Lu Changjiang hung up the phone, he looked at Song Lihai and Wu Defa and said, "Mayor Mingshan let us eat by ourselves without waiting for him. However, you have to prepare the information about the Yinhai Lake Bridge and talk to Expert Yi tomorrow. It’s all about the details.”
As soon as Lu Changjiang finished speaking, Song Lihai said as if unintentionally: "The mayor is with Expert Yi, right? It seems that they must have a very good chat. It's been a day, and they are still chatting together."
As soon as Song Lihai finished speaking, Lu Changjiang answered: "Mayor Mingshan should not be with Expert Yi. I heard an old man's voice, which sounded familiar. Mayor Mingshan should be dining at someone else's house."
Lu Changjiang's words shocked Song Lihai again. The old man who could make Qin Mingshan stay at home for meals must have an extraordinary background. Could it be that Qin Mingshan was growing special offerings in the county?
Song Lihai just thought in his heart and did not continue the topic. Instead, he looked at Lu Changjiang and said, "Director Lu, you and Director Wu can have dinner together. I will send Jingjing back. I can also take advantage of the fact that it is not dark." Look at the changes in the capital."
Yu Jingjing didn't expect that Song Lihai would be so diligent in finding excuses for herself. In her current situation, she really had mixed feelings when she could let this man be so diligent.
"That's fine. You can send Jingjing back to school early and come back early to prepare materials so that you can talk to Expert Yi tomorrow." Lu Changjiang didn't think deeply about it and watched Song Lihai respond like this.
"Okay, Director Lu, Director Wu, Jingjing and I will leave first." Song Lihai made a leaving gesture towards Lu Changjiang and Wu Defa, then motioned for Yu Jingjing to follow him, and they walked towards the parking lot together.
Behind him, Song Lihai could feel that Lu Changjiang and Wu Defa had been staring at his back. Yes, at this time, for him to please the daughter of Yu Guosheng's family so much must be in vain in their eyes.
