Chapter 268 [The Doctrine of the Mean] (Part 1)

Many people, including Zhang Yang, were surprised by Fang Wennan's arrest. It turned out that the distance from the richest man in Jiangcheng who had a respectable identity to the prisoner was so close.

Tian Bin couldn't understand why Fang Wennan hated himself like this. He did not kill Fang Haitao, nor did he lead to Fang Haitao's death. Why did Fang Wennan keep this account on his head?

"Ouch!" Du Yufeng's scream interrupted Tian Bin's contemplation, but Zhang Yang touched his wounds. The x-ray showed that Du Yufeng had a bone crack when he jumped from the second floor, which was nothing to Zhang Daguanren. Zhang Yang joked: "I said Brother Du, you are too cute, what is this injury of a man? If you put the plaster I gave you, you will be healed soon."

Du Yufeng looked at him half-believingly: "Can you do it?"

"If you believe it, you will believe it, and if you don't believe it!"

"I believe it!" Du Yufeng felt that the place where the plaster was applied was warm, and it should have some effect.

Tian Bin believed in Zhang Yang's medical skills without doubt. He patted Du Yufeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the secret recipe of the Zhang Yang family is very effective. He is not his own. He doesn't have to do this."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's still the one who hears Tian Bin!"

Du Yufeng grinned and said, "Why am I so unlucky? The killer jumped from the second floor without any damage. I fell into pieces when I jumped down!"

Tian Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, I will definitely be considered an injury to you! Maybe I have to remember you this time!"

"Remember a nonsense. He asked us to stand on time. You kid must insist on taking risks. We are disobeying orders. The police are disciplined troops. You think it's a house. Not to mention merit, I guess it would be considered a ruthless way to spare us if we don't give a punishment!"

Tian Bin said: "Don't worry, I'm doing things one by one, it has nothing to do with you!"

"What do you mean? Am I the kind of person who is unfaithful?"

The two were talking when Jiang Liang walked in. He asked Du Yufeng about his situation first. He was sure that Du Yufeng had nothing to do, so he felt relieved.

What Tian Bin and Du Yufeng are most concerned about is whether Fang Wennan was arrested. Tian Bin asked: "Did Fang Wennan be caught?"

Jiang Liang nodded and said, "Catch it, I caught it on Royal Holiday!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but frown. He knew the old relationship between Fang Wennan and Su Xiaohong the most, but for fear that this matter would be implicated too much, he whispered: "It has something to do with Su Xiaohong?"

Jiang Liang shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with her. Fang Wennan just went to drink. Su Xiaohong didn't know what he did."

"How is Fang Wennan?"

"He confessed to the crime he committed. This time it would be a big trouble. Hiring a killer to kill someone is a serious crime!"

Zhang Yang felt a moment of sadness. Fang Wennan fell to the point where he didn't want to see, but everything had become a fact and he was unable to turn it around.

Jiang Liang said: "He blamed Fang Wennan for being arrested. This matter has been investigated very clearly. His son's death has nothing to do with Tian Bin. He chose the wrong target."

Du Yufeng said: "Dong Dezhi is the mastermind behind the scenes, and he should hate Dong Dezhi."

Zhang Yang said: "But Dong Dezhi is dead, and there is nowhere to vent his hatred, so he chose Tian Bin. He wanted to seek justice for his son, but he didn't expect that such thoughts made him fall deeper and deeper, and eventually he went to a dead end."

Several people were silent. After a long time, Tian Bin said: "I'm very surprised, who called the anonymous phone number and who helped me?"

Jiang Liang said: "Don't think so much. Director Rong invited us to dinner tonight, and the people on the water!"

Tian Bin said in surprise: "Can it be the Hongmen Banquet?"

Jiang Liang smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Although Director Rong scolds you, he is worried that something will happen to you. This meal in the evening must be shocked for you. Zhang Yang! Come together, Director Rong will name you."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You can think of it. Let me, the director of the investment promotion office, be your escort all day!"

"You guys are so sarcastic that we will sweep you in!"

Although Zhang Yang agreed, Jin Min'er's plan was disrupted by a phone call before dinner, and Jin Shangyuan wanted to see him.

Now Jin Shangyuan is the most important guest in Jiangcheng. Zhang Yang puts work first and gave Rong Pengfei a leave and took Chang Lingfeng to Jin Shangyuan's stay. When the two arrived at the Nanhu Hotel, Jin Shangyuan was playing Go with a five-dan chess player in Jiangcheng Chess Academy. Although the game was only in the middle, Jin Shangyuan was not ready to play. He politely told the player that he had given up.

Jin Min'er was wearing traditional Korean clothes and making tea in front of the sea of ​​tea. Her white and tender slender hands were as beautiful as orchids. From her skillful movements, it can be inferred that she was a master of tea ceremony. Zhang Yang looked at him with interest. Jin Min'er raised her head and glanced at his face with beautiful eyes, revealing a breathtaking smile.

Jin Shangyuan invited Zhang Yang and Chang Lingfeng to sit down in front of the tea sea, and Zhang Yang said: "It seems that we are not the time, which disturbed Mr. Jin's interest in playing chess."

Jin Shangyuan said: "My chess skills are at the level of amateur fifth stage. I will definitely lose when playing chess with professional fifth stage players. From the chess game just now, I can see that he was deliberately asking me. I think this is the way for you Chinese to treat guests. In fact, I knew that I would definitely lose before playing chess. He would only make me feel very uncomfortable."

Chang Lingfeng said in skillful Korean without waiting for Jin Min'er to translate: "Mr. Jin, this is the humility and hospitality of us Chinese. Although you feel uncomfortable because of this, you cannot deny that the chess player's starting point was kindness."

Kim Sang-won smiled and said, "Maybe it is because of the cultural differences between the two countries."

Chang Lingfeng smiled and said, "I don't think there are too many differences in the cultures of China. Both Eastern cultures are deeply influenced by China. I think if we get along with each other, Mr. Jin will also consider the guests very thoughtfully."

Kim Sang-won said: "Does Mr. Chang know Korean culture very well?"

Chang Lingfeng shook his head and said, "I dare not say I understand, but I know that Chinese and Korean cultures are from each other!" Although this sentence is tactful, it is actually very rude. He pointed out in front of the old stick that Korean culture is actually derived from Chinese culture.

Zhang Yang heard them chattering and didn't understand a single sentence at all. Jin Min'er temporarily acted as his translator and explained to him in a low voice. Zhang Yang secretly said that he was happy. Chang Lingfeng had indeed seen a big scene and did not embarrass the Chinese in front of Lao Bazi.

Kim Sang-won said: "In my opinion, Chinese people pay more attention to the doctrine of the mean, while Koreans are more aggressive."

Chang Lingfeng smiled and said, "The doctrine of the mean is indeed an important part of Chinese culture. To be honest, Mr. Jin's understanding of Chinese culture may be the same as my understanding of Korean culture, and it is only superficial. Chinese people pay attention to the doctrine of the mean does not mean that we are not enterprising and hardworking, but that we know how to be subtle and humble."

"Koreans understand it too!"

Chang Lingfeng smiled and said, "History and culture need precipitation. This precipitation must be at the cost of time. There is no shortcut. Although the United States is developed, they are simply incomparable to China in terms of cultural connotation. Does Mr. Jin agree with me?"

Kim Sang-won understood that Chang Lingfeng was comparing the United States with China on the surface, but in fact he was comparing China and South Korea, which meant that South Korea's cultural heritage could not be compared with China. Although Kim Sang-won was unhappy, he had to admit that what Chang Lingfeng said was the fact.

Jin Min'er has already made tea, and she and Zhang Yang have now become bystanders. Chang Lingfeng's Korean language is very good and authentic. If he doesn't know his identity, he will even think that he is a native Korean.

Jin Shangyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "I asked you two to come today to discuss business, why did you talk about culture?"

Chang Lingfeng smiled and said, "While we do business is also a kind of cultural exchange. Chinese people call those who trade business and exchange culture at the same time "Confucian businessman. I think Mr. Jin has the temperament of Confucian businessman."

Kim Sang-won smiled and said, "Can I understand Mr. Chang's words as a compliment?"

Chang Lingfeng said: "I would rather Mr. Jin use the doctrine of the mean to explain it!"

The two of them laughed at the same time.

Chang Lingfeng took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if Mr. Jin came to us for advice?"

Jin Shangyuan said: "I have considered that I am planning to establish a production base for Blue Star in Jiangcheng Development Zone. This will be Blue Star's largest production base in Asia!"

Chang Lingfeng did not show any excitement. His expression was Gu Jingbubo, and he did not seem to feel that this was such a great news, and he did not even have a little excitement or joy.

While Jin Shangyuan admired his calmness, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. This was not the reaction he expected to see. He thought Chang Lingfeng would be happy, but he didn't.

Chang Lingfeng clearly realized that what he saw was a veteran who had been through the battlefield. He had done so many things before, and there must be prerequisites for investing in the construction of a production base. As expected, Jin Shangyuan took out a document that had been prepared long ago: "These are several conditions for me to invest in the establishment of a production base in Jiangcheng. I hope you can consider it."

Chang Lingfeng picked up the document and glanced at it. He smiled, and then quickly pushed the document in front of Jin Shangyuan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, we can't agree to such a condition!"

Kim Sang-won was quite surprised and said, "Can't you agree?"

Chang Lingfeng said: "The policies and conditions issued by Jiangcheng Municipal Government to Mr. Jin were carefully considered and carefully evaluated. We believe that Mr. Jin has been given the most preferential conditions. This condition is based on safeguarding the common interests of both parties. The additional requirements Mr. Jin has exceeded our bottom line."

Kim Sang-won whispered: "Are you sure?"

Chang Lingfeng nodded.

Jin Shangyuan said: "Don't you need to consult the opinions of your superiors?"

Chang Lingfeng smiled and looked at Zhang Yang: "My superior leader is here, I believe he will stand with me."

Jin Shangyuan frowned, and he said to Jin Min'er: "Tell Director Zhang what happened!"

Jin Min'er nodded and told Zhang Yang what happened.

What disappointed Jin Shangyuan, Zhang Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "His opinion represents my opinion. We cannot accept Mr. Jin's conditions!"

Jin Shangyuan said: "Can you guarantee that your city government will not agree? The reason why I inform you first is to show respect for you!"

After hearing Jin Min'er's words, Zhang Yang said firmly: "My opinions represent the final opinions of the city government. If I don't accept them, the city government will not accept Mr. Jin's conditions. I'm sorry, I'll let you down!"

Kim Sang-won was completely stunned. These young Chinese people were still talking about the doctrine of the mean with him just now, and now they were so tough that they didn’t even have any room for relief. He nodded and said, “It seems that we don’t need to continue talking!”

Chang Lingfeng and Zhang Yang stood up at the same time. The two of them politely bid farewell to Jin Shangyuan and left the Nanhu Hotel. Zhang Yang and Chang Lingfeng looked at each other and smiled. Chang Lingfeng said: "Thank you!"

"What are you grateful for?"

"Thank you for your trust in me!"

"If you don't trust you, why should I ask you?" Zhang Daren is well aware of the principle of not using people without doubting others.

Chang Lingfeng felt a warmth in his heart. He nodded and whispered to Zhang Yang: "I'll go first, someone is coming to you!"

Zhang Yang turned around, but Jin Min'er walked out of the hotel, with no smile on her pretty face. This was the first time Zhang Yang saw her like this, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Who made Miss Jin angry?"

Jin Min'er said: "You are so rude. My uncle just showed you a letter of intent. Even if you don't agree, you will take it back and think carefully. Reject it in person. Have you ever considered other people's feelings?"

"Girl, business is business, favors are favors. As a government official, I must not give in in principle! No matter how good our relationship is, it is our business, and it has nothing to do with business!"

Jin Min'er's pretty face turned slightly red and said angrily: "Who is happy to you?"

At this time, Rong Pengfei called over. He was shouting Zhang Yang to go to drink. Zhang Yang asked Jin Min'er to invite him and said, "Go together! I'll welcome you!"

Jin Min'er nodded, she went back and said to Jin Shangyuan, and then went to the water house with Zhang Yang.

I heard that Zhang Yang brought Jin Min'er, Rong Pengfei asked the hotel to serve the dishes again.
