Chapter 429: The Star Falls
Mayor Li laughed while drinking tea, "I heard you are leaving in a few days?"
Ma Liu smiled and said, "Yes, this time I arrived in Sichuan, I didn't expect that it would take almost a month to go there. There are still some things in Shanghai that I need to go back to deal with, and I can't rest assured here for a while."
"What should I do about building an orphanage here?" Mayor Li nodded, saying that it was understandable.
Although Ma Liu had not been dating Li Xianggang for a long time, he still had a good impression of the mayor. He smiled and said, "I'm leaving, please ask Mayor Li to go to the construction site for me. At that time, where you need your help, such as procedures, please take care of it."
Mayor Li nodded and smiled, "Of course, you have done a great thing for the people of Bazhong and saved money for our civil affairs. I came to you today to ask you, have you ever considered giving the orphanage a name after the new orphanage is built?"
Ma Liuyi thought, and said, "You have reminded me, that's fine, so call it Shangen Love Orphanage!"
This time it was Mayor Li's turn to be surprised and stunned, saying, "You spent tens of millions this time, and how much money will you spend in the future? Haven't you ever thought about promoting this matter? I also thought that when the hospital is opened, I will ask the listed TV station to follow up the topic!"
Ma Liu smiled and said, "I know what Mayor Li means, but I am now preparing to return to Shanghai to prepare for a charity foundation. At that time, the foundation will not only inject capital into the Shangen Love Orphanage, but also hope to build such a charity orphanage in more places. I will naturally have to promote it more at that time, but let it go this time."
Mayor Li said: "Really?"
"I may not have told Mayor Li about some things. Today I have a chance, so I might as well tell you." Ma Liu thought for a while.
Mayor Li was stunned and said, "You said, I'm listening."
Ma Liu was brewing for a while and then said: "This Zhou Shangen Zhou and Grandma Du are actually heroes who have returned from the Korean battlefield!"
"What? They have entered the court?" Mayor Li was startled and said in surprise: "Why have you never heard them mention it?"
Ma Liu said in a deep voice: "This is what I admire most. They not only entered the court, but also were fighting heroes. Qin Jiefang, do you know? They are both comrades-in-arms. My grandfather and they were also comrades-in-arms back then. Grandpa Zhou also saved my grandfather's life, and my grandfather saved Grandpa Qin's face. So in fact, this time I was entrusted by Grandpa Qin to find them. I am naturally obliged to help them, because they are heroes and they are benefactors of my old Ma family.
As a businessman, I can naturally think of using these things to hype it up. But when I think of Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Du’s willingness to contribute to society for decades, I feel that I am very small. This orphanage is Grandpa Zhou’s wish and his lifelong hard work. I cannot change my name randomly just because I paid the money. I hope that the children who have gone out of this orphanage will remember who the founder of this orphanage are in the future, and I hope that they can remember this pair of old people forever.”
Mayor Li smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that things are so complicated. It seems that I am too realistic. Mr. Ma, you are laughing."
Ma Liu smiled and said, "Mayor Li is so polite. To be honest, I have seen many officials, and few people can look down on me. You, Mayor Li, are one of them. I believe you are a good official."
Li Changchang shook his head and sighed: "I just maintain a little conscience, I'm not so bad!"
Ma Liu smiled, smoked a cigarette, handed it to Mayor Li. After chatting for a while, the two left the teahouse together. Mayor Li said they would go to the city government for a meeting, while Ma Liu took Alisa to the construction site together.
There was a lively scene on the construction site. The workers shouted that Bashan rats were working hard. The foundation of the building had been made and the frame on the first floor had been completed. At the current speed, it is estimated that all construction will be completed in half a year. It should be possible to move in around September 1st.
After Ma Liu looked at it for a while, Qi Qingqing also arrived suddenly. This was the second time the two women met. Ma Liu couldn't help but sweat. As a result, the two women were at peace and shook hands with each other, and they were particularly polite and respectful to each other, which made Ma Liu secretly relieved.
With Yangma and Qi Qingqing, two beauties with different styles, Maliu is quite cool, and many workers can't help but look at this side secretly. However, what makes Maliu feel relieved is that these simple workers have no jealousy in their eyes, but only envy. Perhaps in their simple thoughts, they want to hug each other like Maliu and hold such a watery girl. There is no chance in this life, and at most they can only pray secretly that they will have such a life in their next life.
It was soon noon, and Ma Liu said he would go for lunch together. Qi Qingqing and Alisha agreed to find a canned restaurant. Ma Liu came with a bamboo rice. The taste was extremely fragrant. With the fragrance of bamboo, Ma Liu was not enough. He ordered another one and ordered a few side dishes, all of which were special dishes from Bazhong. The three of them ate particularly enthusiastically.
By the way, I also ordered a bottle of wine. Red wine is not expensive, but it is only a few hundred yuan. It is not a good wine. It can't be bought in such a place. Alisa took a sip and was not ready to continue. She frowned secretly. However, Ma Liu and Qi Qingqing were calm. Seeing this, Alisa seemed a little embarrassed, and finally took the initiative to drink a little.
While having a meal, Qi Qingqing suddenly said, "When will you go?"
Ma Liudao: "I haven't decided yet. It's probably just these few days, but I'm not too busy. It's better to stay here for you."
Qi Qingqing's face turned red, she gave Ma Liu a blank look and said, "You can't even forget Xiaoyu, are you?"
His face changed slightly, and Ma Liu squeezed out a smile and said, "No."
As soon as he said that, Qi Qingqing actually knew that he shouldn't mention this matter, but seeing that Ma Liu didn't seem to care, he simply said: "You go to Shiyan to see the little fish when you go back this time. Anyway, it's not too far to go to Shiyan from here. It's time to one day."
Ma Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it."
"Why?" Qi Qingqing was stunned and said.
Ma Liu lit up a cigarette and didn't say anything for a long time.
Alisa on the side also said, "Go and have a look. I really want to see her, and I want to see your son."
After taking a puff of cigarette, Ma Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "She is very safe now, but it's not good if I go. Besides, I don't have the face to see her yet. Why did she leave? You probably know that if I don't achieve anything, how can you give me the face to see him?"
Alisa didn't know much about the matter between Xiaoyu and Ma Liu, but she knew that Ma Liu's favorite woman was Xiaoyu. She could feel this and got answers from the mouths of Shen Menghan and Qin Wanxue, so she was very sure, and at the same time she was particularly curious about Xiaoyu, the woman. She had seen Xiaoyu's photos and felt the kindness that Xiaoyu came from the bones. She was just a little curious. She didn't understand that Xiaoyu could make every woman around Ma Liu have no complaints about her, or even no intention of being jealous. What is Xiaoyu's dependence on.
It is exactly the opposite of Alisa. Qi Qingqing understands the relationship between Maliu and Xiaoyu the most. In fact, after getting along with Maliu, she always felt guilty. When she was in Shanghai, Xiaoyu once hinted that if she wanted, Xiaoyu would not object to her getting along with Maliu. However, Qi Qingqing did not dare to take that step at that time, so she would choose to marry Bei Chuanping. She hoped to use this method to cut off her retreat and hoped to forget Maliu in this way. As a result, she regretted it at the critical moment and hurt others and herself. Now she is having sex with Maliu. She always hopes that Maliu will see Xiaoyu early and tell her things to Xiaoyu early. She wants to see how Xiaoyu will react.
Since Ma Liu didn't go to see Xiaoyu, Qi Qingqing naturally wouldn't force him to not mention this matter again. After dinner, Ma Liu paid for the bill. The three of them left the restaurant and went to the streets together. The rate of return along the way was surprisingly high.
Shopping was once a bad thing for Ma Liu, but after being tortured by Alisa and Ma Jing last time, Ma Liu has not recovered from that kind of blow, so first of all, he declared that he would never buy any underwear with them. The shorts are OK, but Qi Qingqing grabbed the tender flesh on his waist and made a 360-degree spin. Ma Liu was so painful that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything. He couldn't afford to lose anyone, but now he was on the street.
Qi Qingqing seemed to have suddenly recovered her mad nature and either beat or scolded Ma Liu, which made Ma Liu a little confused about which Qi Qingqing was her nature. However, from the bottom of his heart, Ma Liu was more adaptable to Qi Qingqing, who could dance, sing and dance rubber bands in the orphanage, Ma Liu loved and felt more distressed.
That's good. Once Qi Qingqing, the crazy witch and Alisha, the female hooligan, get angry, Ma Liu was deeply hurt. In the end, he bought two sets of clothes for Qi Qingqing and a skirt for Alisha. Ma Liu then took the two girls to go back. Qi Qingqing left by taxi, while Ma Liu took Alisha back to the hotel.
Not far from the hotel, a group of people crowded in front of a newsstand, talking loudly, as if they were rushing to buy something. Ma Liu had the habit of watching the fun since he was a child. When he came over to take a look, he found that everyone was snatching a newspaper, Bazhong Radio and Television News, Bazhong's largest circulation newspaper, and it was also the only evening newspaper in Bazhong.
Out of curiosity, Ma Liu bought one, but just took it over and looked at it. Ma Liu's heart suddenly shook, his body trembled a little, and the newspaper fell to the ground.
