Wang Fengshou looked a little strange: "Oh, it's not a big deal. I just heard from Manman that she and you will be staying in the embassy today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Well, it's the New Year's Day holiday, and I just have to prepare for the establishment of a new company. It's convenient to live here."
Seeing that Hua Zhenxing didn't seem to have any special reaction, Wang Fengshou coughed and said, "I asked someone to prepare a room, but Manman said no, just use your room."
The embassy is not a hotel. It is also equivalent to the official residence of the envoys stationed abroad. There are accommodations for the diplomats. However, the best guest rooms in the Embassy of Kilili Country have always been reserved for Hua Zhenxing.
As for other foreigners who want to stay at the embassy, the staff will temporarily prepare a guest room for them.
These are not the important points. The important point is that Manman said there is no need to prepare another room for her! The fire of gossip in Ambassador Wang's heart is burning, but on the surface his tone is very calm.
Hua Zhenxing also said calmly: "Yes, one guest room is enough. There is no need to prepare another one for Manman."
Wang Fengshou was stunned and still waiting for the next step, but Hua Zhenxing had no more to follow. He stood up and said: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Niu has read the outline of our First Five-Year Plan and has some suggestions for diplomatic work.
If Senior Brother Niu is free, he is also invited to participate in the preparatory meetings of the Fangguan Development Group and various decision-making discussions with the management. Of course, he cannot come in vain.
As for what identity and title the country will give to Senior Brother Niu, you have more experience in these tasks than me. I will ask Senior Brother Niu himself for his opinion. We will finalize it today and try to implement it within a week.
You guys chat, I’m going to say hello to Manman, and I have to go to the Spring Festival Banquet in the evening. I’ll arrange a car to take Senior Niu back in the afternoon, and I can hitch a ride with Senior Niu.”
After saying this, Hua Zhenxing left the reception room. Wang Fengshou sat down with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Niu, on behalf of the government of Gila, I hire you as an education consultant.
The official language of the Kingdom of Kilin is also Eastern Mandarin, and its title is Educational Advisor to the Government of Kili and Director of the Higher Education Working Committee of the Kingdom of Kili. What do you think?
The First Five-Year Plan of the Kingdom of Kili will build three new universities and seven vocational and technical colleges. You will also become the first president of the first university in the Kingdom of Kili... This all depends on your opinion.
If you go through the education assistance channel, you are sent there by the Dongguo official, and you can still retain your public position here in Dongguo. After having this experience and returning to Chunhua, you will at least be a vice principal!
If you don’t go back to Chunhua University in the future and find another university, it’s no problem to be the president. If you don’t want to go back to university, it’s not a bad idea to become a director of the Ministry of Education and then promote to deputy director in the future..."
Niu Yipingcai was also stunned. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. He leaned over and grabbed Wang Fengshou's arm and said, "Brother Wang, what's going on with Hua Zhenxing and Manman?"
Wang Fengshou: "What's going on? Haven't you seen it yet? This is the style of the people in Jili, refreshing!"
Niu Yiping said with some emotion: "I sometimes forget that Director Hua grew up in the Kingdom of Jili, and always regard him as an out-and-out Dongguo native. But at times like this, I feel that it is really a little different.
"
Nowadays, the trend of dating and dating among Dongguk University students is very open. Some people rent a house off campus from time to time, starting from a pure PY relationship, and couples often rent houses off campus to live together.
However, the cultural tradition of the entire society still tends to be reserved, restrained, shy and reserved.
Even the Puritans in developed Western countries are not very liberal in this regard. This is different from the situation depicted in many film and television works, and there are also great differences between different ethnic groups.
Hua Zhenxing is a very "conservative" person. Otherwise, in a place like Fesoport, he would have achieved so many achievements long ago. This is related to his living environment and the education he received.
But on the other hand, Hua Zhenxing is a native of Hong Kong, and some of his concepts and cognitions are different from ordinary Dongguo students.
Last night he sent Manman back to school, talking while walking, and then suddenly decided to check out a hotel room. Of course, neither Niu Yiping nor Wang Fengshou knew about this.
Today, Manman directly told Wang Fengshou that there was no need to prepare a room for her. She would stay in the one in Huazhenxing at night.
Wang Fengshou was immediately stunned. He suddenly thought that he had arrived in the urban area of Kili Country again. Isn't this the embassy of Kilili Country? Did they come here specially to rent a house?
Is this Manman's own decision? What is Hua Zhenxing's attitude? So Wang Fengshou came here to ask. Hua Zhenxing didn't have any special reaction, but Niu Yiping ate another melon.
Wang Fengshou smiled bitterly and said: "You are thinking about this matter. What I just said was all in vain!"
Niu Yiping hurriedly said: "I'm listening! In fact, brother Wang has misunderstood me. I don't care about my position. I just have been staying in Chunhua since I was seventeen, so it's become a habit.
In fact, what I really care about is what I can accomplish and change. I have indeed had many ideas about education over the years, but Director Hua gave me a chance to start a new one!
What we can see is that many problems that are not easy to solve are nothing more than two types. One is the legacy of history, which is difficult to recover; the second is the environmental trend that makes it difficult to reverse the trend.
There are no colleges and universities in Kilili Country, so we must avoid leaving historical mistakes from the beginning, and we must always be careful not to go in the wrong direction in future development..."
Wang Fengshou smiled: "It's Senior Brother Niu's style to talk like this!"
The two were discussing business in the reception room, while Hua Zhenxing went to say hello to Manman. The greeting lasted for an hour, and by the end both Niu Yiping and Wang Fengshou were looking at their watches frequently.
Tonight, the Spring Festival Banquet has arranged for guests to have dinner together. Pingjing City is a place prone to traffic jams. If Huazhenxing does not set off, we will be late if we encounter traffic jams.
Although they were anxious, the two of them tacitly did not take the initiative to urge them. At least, they waited until Hua Zhenxing opened the door and walked in again: "Senior Brother Niu, let's go to the Spring Festival Banquet!"
Looking at Hua Zhenxing's appearance, her face is rosy, she is full of energy, and her face is radiant. Judging from her hairstyle, it is obvious that she has just taken a shower.
Last night, we had a fight and then a murder, and then we negotiated a big deal. After a heavy drink, I didn't sleep all night and felt that the embassy was here to guide the work. I should take a good bath to refresh myself.
It was He Guang who drove Niu Yiping home and celebrated the Spring Festival Banquet along the way.
He Guang came to Dongguo for more than half a year. As a fourth-level Yangyuan Shu instructor, he started working as an errand boy and was successively appointed as diplomatic counselor, study abroad team inspector, Huazhenxing's special driver and correspondent.
Soon he will also become the general manager of Kilidong National Cuisine and the director of Fangguan Development Group. He is really an all-round talent and has received great training.
When the car arrived at the gate of the Spring Festival Banquet, it was 6:58 pm, and we were almost late.
In the past two months, the lobby on the first floor of Chunguang Banquet has been very busy, but today's business is particularly good, with only one empty table left.
With so many people eating in a hall, it was inevitably noisy. But the moment Huazhenxing opened the door and walked in, all the waiters were stunned, because the hall instantly became extremely quiet.
All the guests stopped talking in unison and looked at the door involuntarily.
This scene is too weird. Hua Zhenxing has been coming to the Chunguang Banquet every day during this period and has never encountered such a situation.
We are all monks, and we understand many things tacitly. When we come to eat, we act like we are eating, but we cannot openly watch and sit there and stare at Hua Zhenxing. That is very rude.
Huazhenxing is not here to act like a monkey! In public places, watching and being watched are very particular.
So even though everyone usually comes to Huazhenxing, the scene is still very natural, and even the waiters in the restaurant can't see many flaws.
But today is an exception and an accident, because everyone is talking about what happened in Wuling Mountain last night and waiting for Hua Zhenxing to appear.
One person stopped talking, looked at the door and nodded in greeting. He was actually not conspicuous among so many people. As a result, everyone had this mentality, and the scene became like this.
Hua Zhenxing's reaction was also very quick, and he quickly said secretly with his spiritual thoughts: "I'm just here to have dinner, I hope I won't disturb everyone. Fellow Taoists, don't be restrained, just be more casual."
Several divine thoughts came in succession
"What the hell, Director Hua is so polite!", "It's because we behaved a little awkwardly, I hope we didn't disturb Director Hua's meal.", "We also happened to be passing by and came in to eat, Director Hua, please have yours"...
…
Hua Zhenxing was startled again. Only Dacheng monks can master the means of spiritual thoughts. There are at least seven Dacheng monks in the Spring Banquet Hall tonight!
After Huazhen sat down, a middle-aged man came over and sat down and said: "Qianliu Sect, Dao Nanya."
The visitor introduced himself with a spiritual voice, and he turned out to be the current head of the Qianliu Sect.
Hua Zhenxing was a little surprised, but he still replied as usual: "Yangyuan Valley, Hua Zhenxing."
According to Niu Yiping's "dining schedule", the one who came today should be Mu Yingsheng, the top disciple of Qianliu Sect. Niu Yiping specifically mentioned it in the car just now and also introduced the situation of Qianliu Sect.
Qianliu Sect is located at the junction of Yundian Province and Shanqian Province. Its monastery is surrounded by high mountains, with abundant rainfall, extremely complex topography, and steep mountains with very large drops.
Not only is the transportation in that area inconvenient, but there is almost no land for farming, and it has been uninhabited since ancient times. Many streams are formed among the thousands of rocks, and you can encounter waterfalls and rivers within a few steps. Therefore, it is named Qianliu Sect, and the location of its Taoist Temple is also
It's called Qianliu Mountain.
Huazhenxing has been "receiving guests" at the Spring Festival Banquet for nearly two months, and has eaten almost seventy dishes. Almost all the "representatives" of the major sects have seen it. There is about a week left before the dishes for the Spring Festival Banquet are ready.
Finished eating.
Except for Yu Cangwu who came on the first day and was the head of Haitian Valley, Dao Nanya was the second sect leader to appear at the dinner so far.
If an alternative cultivator like You Fang, the "leader of Jianghu Fengmen's casual cultivators", could be counted as a sect leader, Dao Nanya would only be the third one.
After all, this was just an informal meeting, and it was unclear who was the host and who was the guest. Anyway, we met during dinner. As for who would catch up on what day, it would depend on Niu Yiping's arrangements.
Therefore, it is not easy for the sect leaders of each sect to come forward, otherwise it will be like a formal meeting between the two sects. However, they are eating a dish together in a place like this, and are surrounded by a bunch of irrelevant people?
This has nothing to do with whether we attach importance to it or not. It is too informal and too informal.
When the time comes in 2024, Huazhenxing will have nine meals here. Niu Yiping has arranged for guests from some small sects, and Qianliu Sect monk Mu Yingsheng is the first one.
Mu Yingsheng is the contemporary eldest disciple of Qianliu Sect, and his status in Fanglong Pass is similar to that of Niu Yiping. Although Qianliu Sect is a small sect, it depends on who you compare with. In fact, both in terms of scale and strength, it surpasses Fanglong Pass.
A large section of Longguan.
But when Hua Zhenxing rushed to the Spring Festival Banquet, the person sitting in front of him was replaced by Dao Nanya, the leader of Qianliu Sect. This should be a temporary decision, because even Niu Yiping didn't know about it on the way here.
But Hua Zhenxing was very wise and did not ask why the Qianliu Sect had changed its members, or even mentioned it.
The Spring Feast dinner follows an unspoken rule, which was demonstrated by Yu Cangwu. It is impossible for monks from all sects to come and disturb Hua Zhenxing.
On the surface, Hua Zhenxing didn't invite anyone, because he was really not familiar with everyone and didn't know anyone. That's why Niu Yiping took the initiative to help and arranged a timetable for those who came to see Hua Zhenxing.
So Hua Zhenxing did not actually make an appointment with Mu Yingsheng to have dinner together today. Logically speaking, anyone from the Qianliu Sect can do it.
Replacing the eldest disciple with the sect leader is equivalent to replacing Niu Yiping with Fang Chuanchan. This should mean that the Qianliu Sect attaches great importance to today's dinner party.
This is simply an attitude towards seniors and experts. It doesn't matter whether the scene is formal or serious. It seems that as long as you can have a meal with Director Hua, even if there is only one dish, the sect master must come in person.
Hua Zhenxing himself never put on any airs, but his status rose overnight.
It seems that the news spreads very quickly. Almost the entire Kunlun cultivation world knows what happened last night. This sword sect leader must have arrived today.
Thanks to today's developed transportation, I heard the news in the remote mountainous area in the southwest border of Dongguo in the morning, and sat in the lobby of Pingjing Spring Festival Banquet during dinner. The high-speed train was probably too late, so I had to catch the plane from the nearest airport to the dojo.
Hua Zhenxing asked with a smile: "I heard that Senior Brother Niu from Fanglongguan introduced Guizong. It is said that the dojo is among the steep mountains on the border of the East Kingdom. Did the Sword Master come from the sect dojo? Is it convenient on the road?
"
Dao Nanya smiled and replied: "Actually, I just arrived in Pingjing in the afternoon. The Qianliu Sect Dojo is indeed inaccessible, but there has been a secret path since ancient times, and it is only thirty miles away from the nearest highway entrance.
This road is difficult for ordinary people to travel, but it is a shortcut for monks. The distance between the world of business and the monastery is not as far as others think. If the distance is calculated, Qianliu Mountain is actually within a hundred miles from Qianyang City.
The first 30 miles are through a secret trail in the mountains, and the next 60 miles are on the road. We also have a dojo in Qianliu Town at the exit of the secret trail, where we have vehicles ready for use all year round. In ancient times, it was a mule and carriage, but now it is replaced by a car.
.
We, the Qianliu Sect, also have a business in Qianyang City. We used to deal in mountain medicinal materials, and in recent years we have also engaged in some real estate. As you know, Qingxiu can be practiced in the sect's dojo, but inheritance cannot be separated from the world of the market."
Dao Nanya frankly said that he came here temporarily today, but quickly changed the topic and introduced the layout of the Qianliu Sect's dojo and the "strongholds" of the sect.
Hua Zhenxing: "Of course! The successor disciples still need to be trained in the world of mortals. If their cultivation is not good enough, they may not be able to enter or leave the sect's dojo. The thirty-plus-mile secret path you mentioned is a natural chasm for ordinary people.
The situation in my Yangyuan Valley is similar. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to walk from the nearest town to the Dongtian Taoist Temple, but as long as they practice successfully, those with fast feet can actually go there and back in the same day."
Dao Nanya said humbly: "How can the E Qian Liu Sect be compared with Yang Yuan Valley? The total number of disciples and successors who have left the mountain and those who have not yet left the mountain is only more than a hundred."
Hearing this, Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but think of Fanglong Pass. The Qianliu Sect, located in a remote mountainous area on the border, was almost twice the size of Fanglong Pass in Pingjing.
The two Dacheng sect masters had two plates of identical dishes and chatted with monks in the hall.
Without saying a few words, Dao Nanya couldn't help but said: "I heard that there were many experts gathered in Wuling Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing yesterday. Even the leader of the Mei Alliance was alarmed. It's a pity that I couldn't be there to see it in person!"
