After playing around for a while, the topic naturally shifted to the lunch party. Xia Jinhe's face instantly darkened. He lowered his head and told Lu Yiwei what happened at the lunch.
Lu Yiwei sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing it. He treated Lu Yiwei to a meal and asked him to be an interpreter. Such blatant flattery was actually done by the mayor of a city. It was shocking. In the face of such a powerful opponent, what strength did Lu Yiwei have to compete with him?
Seeing Lu Yiwei's absent-minded look, Xia Jinhe comforted him, "Don't worry, hubby. I know what to do. I don't care if he's a mayor or not. In my eyes, he's nothing. "
Lu Yiwei came back to his senses and said worriedly, "Jinhe, we're not facing an ordinary opponent, so we can't offend him, but we can't indulge him either. When did he say you can meet the foreign guests?"
"In two days."
Lu Yiwei calmly replied, "If he wants you to go, then you should just go. You should show your face in the media more often, and there's only benefits to it. On the contrary, you're constantly avoiding it, leaving an opening for the other party."
Xia Jinhe thought for a moment and nodded. "Well, what you said makes sense. In that case, I'll accept his invitation."
After saying that, Xia Jinhe continued, "When we get our marriage certificate, I'll ask our principal to give us a big house. When the house is renovated, we can enjoy our time together. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
Lu Yiwei looked at the calendar and said, "It's Chinese Valentine's Day soon. Why don't we get our marriage certificate on China's Valentine's Day?"
"Great! That's great! "Xia Jinhe was very supportive of Lu Yiwei's proposal.
The time they spent together was always short. Before they knew it, it was already past six in the afternoon. Lu Yiwei didn't plan to go back. When he was thinking about how to ask for leave, Deputy County Head Bai Yuxin's call came first. After the call was connected, she said, "Yiwei, where are you?"
Lu Yiwei did not dare to lie and say that he was in Bei Zhou City.
Bai Yuxin said, "That's great. I have an appointment with Director Guo of the City Development Bank for a meal. If you don't have anything else, come to the bank first and meet Director Guo."
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei didn't dare to be careless. He quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Mayor Bai, I'll be there soon."
Xia Jinhe was immersed in the romantic and warm world of the two of them. When she heard that Lu Yiwei wanted to leave, a trace of unhappiness appeared on her face. "You're leaving?"
Lu Yiwei also saw that Xia Jinhe was unhappy, but this matter was related to his future development, so he had to go. Therefore, he coaxed, "Honey, I'm going to meet an important guest now. It's very important. I'll come to you immediately after dinner, okay?"
Despite his reluctance, Xia Jinhe still said in a considerate manner, "Then go and do your work. Remember! Don't drink too much. "
Lu Yiwei kissed Xia Jinhe on the forehead and quickly ran downstairs of the dormitory.
When Lou Qingfeng, who was next door, heard the door of Xia Jinhe's room open, he quickly stood up from his chair and looked downstairs. Looking at Lu Yiwei's handsome back and thinking of the exciting scene just now, his body inexplicably became hot. He bit his lower lip and said to himself, "If only I could find such a man."
In the general manager's office of the City Development Bank, Bai Yuxin was chatting with the general manager, Guo Zhangen. After hearing someone knocking on the door, Bai Yuxin got up and opened the door. When she saw that it was Lu Yiwei, she pulled him to Guo Zhangen and introduced him, "Director Guo, this is Lu Yiwei I told you about. What do you think?"
Guo Zhangen looked kind and nodded frequently, "Not bad. He has a dignified appearance and is upright and outspoken. He is a good seedling to do great things."
Seeing that Guo Zhangen was so approachable, Lu Yiwei quickly bowed and said, "Director Guo, you have a great reputation. Not only are you good at management, but you also write good articles, especially the article 'Discussing the Relationship between the Development of the Financial Industry and the Local Economy' published in Xijiang Daily. It's unconventional, profound, clear, far-sighted, in line with the spirit of the superior and closely integrated with the local economy. It can be said to be a good medicine to guide the development of the local economy. It's a blessing for me to meet you in person today. I hope that you can give me more guidance in the future. "
Guo Zhangen was overjoyed by his words. He excitedly pointed at Bai Yuxin and said, "Look, Brother Yiwei is so eloquent. Haha …"
"Haha …" Bai Yuxin also laughed and said, "I told you that he is a rare talent, and I hope you can support him. It's not easy for young people to start a business. You can't dampen his enthusiasm. "
With the foreshadowing in front, the rest was naturally much smoother. Guo Zhangen pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit, sit down and talk!"
After Lu Yiwei sat down, Guo Zhangen said, "Let me ask you. Have you been reading my articles, or did you know that you would meet me and crammed it?"
This question seemed simple, but it was difficult to answer. If he said that he had been reading, then Guo Zhangen would give himself away by mentioning other articles. If he said that he crammed it, then it would be utilitarian and would definitely make the other party feel disgusted. Lu Yiwei reacted quickly and said, "Boss Guo, I didn't deliberately read your articles, but I would seriously study every issue of Xijiang Daily. When I come across a good article, I would write it down. As for your articles, they often appear in the newspaper, so I naturally feel more familiar and intimate with them. Moreover, your theoretical level is quite high, so it would be hard for me not to learn."
Hearing Lu Yiwei's answer, Guo Zhangen was very satisfied and nodded his head. "It's said that young people nowadays are impetuous. There aren't many people like you who can calm down and learn. Chairman Mao once said that one is never too old to learn. It may seem like a simple sentence, but there is a profound philosophical meaning behind it. As long as one understands the world, one can put it into practice. This is the true meaning of this sentence! "
The standard of a leader was indeed not ordinary. He could read such profound philosophical thoughts in a very ordinary sentence, which made Lu Yiwei admire him. He showed a strong desire for knowledge and said, "Director Guo, listening to your words is like sitting in a university classroom and listening to a professor's lecture. Your standard is definitely not inferior to them, really."
Guo Zhangen smiled and said, "I like young people who love to learn. Old Bai, don't you think so?"
Bai Yuxin did not study for many days, so listening to their conversation was like listening to a book from heaven. She said, "Director Guo, you're joking with me. You know that I'm semi-illiterate, yet you're still talking about literature with me. You're harboring ulterior motives."
"Haha …" Guo Zhangen quickly waved his hand. "I didn't mean it that way. Your 'ulterior motives' was definitely used well!"
Bai Yuxin smiled and looked at her watch. "Director Guo, it's time for dinner. I've prepared a table of home-cooked food for you. Please come with me and give me some face."
Guo Zhangen's face suddenly sank. "I say, Old Bai, why are you still doing this in front of me? It's not easy for us to meet. Don't fight with me for this meal today. I'll take care of it! "
Bai Yuxin said, "Director Guo, I'll eat your meal next time. But today, Yiwei is sincerely treating you to this meal. You won't not give face to a student who's humbly asking you questions, right?"
Lu Yiwei echoed, "Yes, yes, Director Guo. You must come tonight. I still want to discuss literature with you."
That sentence warmed Guo Zhangen's heart. It was like Boya meeting Zi Qi. They had endless topics to talk about. Hence, he slapped the table and said, "Alright, I'll have a good exchange with this little brother tonight."
When they arrived at the hotel, while Guo Zhangen was in the toilet, Bai Yuxin said, "Yiwei, you must seize this opportunity tonight. You must win Guo Zhangen's heart. Back when I was in the City Finance Department, he was still an office director. Now, he's become the president. This person relied on writing articles to climb to this position. Hence, you've found a good entry point today. Later, when we're drinking, you must continue to attack. Based on what he said just now, I think he's right. "
With Bai Yuxin's reminder, Lu Yiwei knew what to do. At the table, he changed the topic to literature and said, "Director Guo, in your articles, I've seen many times that the core value system of socialism is combined with the study of the heart. I don't have a deep understanding of the study of the heart, so I hope you can give me some pointers."
Hearing Lu Yiwei humbly asking him for advice, Guo Zhangen was delighted. He took a pose and said, "Let me ask you, what is the core value system of socialism? And what is the soul of the study of the heart? "
Lu Yiwei said, "The core value system is Marx's thoughts, the common ideals of the Chinese people, and the national spirit of patriotism. And the soul of the study of the heart is the unity of knowledge and action. "
Guo Zhangen nodded and said, "Your answer is good, but you've missed one point. The core value system is a set of systematic scientific theoretical system. It's the crystallization of the wisdom of generations of leaders. What our nation lacks the least is the consciousness of innovation, and what we urgently need now is the consciousness of innovation. How to innovate? It's not to follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, but to boldly emancipate our minds and constantly explore and practice. Practice is the only standard to test the truth. This requires us to have a strong thirst for knowledge in the process of development, and to constantly test our own knowledge. "
"Wang Yangming's life can be said to be full of ups and downs. He's skilled in both literature and martial arts. He's learned in war and dared to challenge authority. He comprehended from the bamboo, and he had great doubts about Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism. Through constant practice, he created the study of the heart, and the unity of knowledge and action is the essence of the study of the heart. In promoting social development, we must achieve the unity of knowledge and action, so that we can withstand all difficulties in the tide of reform. "
"Good!" Lu Yiwei couldn't help clapping and said, "Today, I've learned a lot of knowledge from you. I must seriously study it when I go back."
Guo Zhangen hadn't met someone who admired him for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little smug, and he had a new understanding of Lu Yiwei. The meal became Guo Zhangen's talk show. He talked non-stop, from Confucianism to Neo-Confucianism, from classical literature to modern literature, from Liang Shiqiu to Hugo, from Lu Yao to Hu Shi. He had a great time chatting about everything.
