When he arrived at Jinxiu Mansion, Lu Yiwei still remembered the incident with the security guard last time because of Zhang Zhiyuan. The security guards here were arrogant and bad-tempered. It did not matter who you were or how high your position was. If you wanted to enter, unless someone introduced you or the owner personally called and confirmed, there was no way you could enter.
Last time, Lu Yiwei almost got into a fight with the security guard, but he still did not get in. If there was no other way, he would have to take the small path at the back of the mountain to see Cai Runnian. In the past, he could see Cai Runnian whenever he wanted to. Now, it was more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
At the entrance, Lu Yiwei honked twice. A few security guards thought it was a leader and quickly ran over. When they got closer, they realized it was not a Jiangdong license plate. Their temper flared and they yelled, "Where did you come from? Why are you honking? Don't you know where you are? Are you blind?! "
This was the first time Zhang Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the back row, had seen such a scene. He was furious and wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by Lu Yiwei. After Lu Yiwei got out of the car, he put a cigarette under the security guard's armpit and said with a smile, "Brother, don't you recognize me?"
The security guard looked better when he saw it was Zhonghua. He instinctively looked up at the camera and waved at Zhonghua. He then looked back at Lu Yiwei and said, "You look familiar … Don't try to get close to me. If you have something to say, say it. If not, scram!"
Lu Yiwei quickly said, "Brother, don't be angry. Professor Cai wants to talk to us at his house. Please make an exception … "
When the security guard heard they were looking for Cai Runnian, he became more alert. There were too many people looking for Cai Runnian. He did not know which one was real and which one was fake. He said angrily, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes!" This time, Lu Yiwei was full of confidence.
"Where are you from? What's your name?"
"Nanyang County, Zhang Zhiyuan."
"Oh, wait a minute!" Having said that, the security guard stuffed the cigarette into his shirt and turned to walk into the security room. After a while, he walked over and said, "There is indeed a registration. Take out your ID card."
Zhang Zhiyuan sat in the car without saying a word and handed out his ID in a bad mood. Apart from checking IDs on planes, there was no other place as strict as this.
"Okay, come in." With that, the security guard gestured to the people in the security room, and the retractable door slowly opened. Before he left, Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Brother, we will meet often in the future. This is a small token of my appreciation." As he spoke, he shook hands with him and placed a supermarket card that he had prepared in advance into the other party's palm.
The security guard felt something. Just a moment ago, he was unhappy, but now he smiled and quickly put his hands into his pockets. "You're too polite. We're old friends. Go in quickly. Don't waste your time. I know your time is precious."
"We'll meet again!" Lu Yiwei cupped his fists in thanks, turned around, got into his car, and sped towards Cai Runnian's villa. The reason why Lu Yiwei gave the security guard a small favor was to lay a foundation for the future. If he were to come often in the future, it would be easier to establish a good relationship with him.
When they arrived at the villa, Lu Yiwei tactfully said, "Secretary Zhang, I'll be waiting for you in the garden."
Zhang Zhiyuan initially wanted to ask Lu Yiwei to go with him. After all, he was Cai Runnian's student, and they were more familiar with each other. But on second thought, how could he bring up his own matters in front of Lu Yiwei? Since Lu Yiwei said not to go in, Zhang Zhiyuan did not object. He nodded his head and went up the stairs.
When he came to the door, he tidied his clothes and touched his face. After confirming that he was fine, he knocked on the door.
Because he had informed Lu Yiwei in advance, Zhang Zhiyuan successfully passed the second checkpoint and finally met Cai Runnian.
At this moment, Cai Runnian was practicing calligraphy in his study when he heard from the housekeeper that Zhang Zhiyuan was here. "Let him in," Lu Yiwei said without putting down his brush.
Zhang Zhiyuan was an authority in Nanyang County, but in Cai Runnian's eyes, he was at best a primary school student. Lu Yiwei quietly walked in, afraid to disturb the other party. After entering, Cai Runnian was still writing and did not look up to pay attention to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Cai Runnian was wearing reading glasses and writing seriously, word by word. Zhang Zhiyuan timidly stood at the side, watching carefully. He saw that the other party was writing Su Shi's "Remembering Your Charming Maiden: Remembrance of the Past in the Red Cliff". The strokes were vigorous and forceful, the strokes flowing like clouds and flowing water, majestic and majestic, with the demeanor of a master. And on the table, there was the paperweight that Lu Yiwei had given him. Of course, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't know that.
At this time, Cai Runnian dragged the Xuan paper, and a corner of it tilted up. Zhang Zhiyuan immediately put down the things in his hands and helped Cai Runnian hold it down until Cai Runnian finished writing.
After putting away the brush, Cai Runnian stood there and admired himself, feeling quite proud. At this time, he turned to look at Zhang Zhiyuan standing at the side, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, and said, "Come, Zhiyuan, comment on my work."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyuan was shocked, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Professor Cai, I don't know calligraphy, how would I dare to comment on your work? I really don't know anything."
"You can say it if you don't know anything, just look at it with the eyes of a layman." Cai Runnian was eager to get an outsider's opinion.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan did not know anything, he knew a thing or two. He pretended to skim through, and said, "Professor Cai, I'll be so bold as to talk about my feelings. In his early years, Su Shi learned from the "Two Wangs", and in his middle years, he learned from Yan Zhenqing and Yang Ning, and in his later years, he learned from Li Beihai, and extensively dabbled in other calligraphers of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, forming a deep and simple style. But your work is full of ups and downs, fast and steady, full of joy, and completed in one go. Just like this poem, the mood and emotions change along with the poem, and the changes in the lines, changing from front to side, changing from one stroke to another, changing from one stroke to another, changing from one stroke to another. It's natural. The knots are also strange, big or small, sparse or dense, light or heavy, wide or narrow, irregular and scattered, unrestrained and strange, with a myriad of changes. It can be said to be a peerless work. "
His words made Cai Runnian happy, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "Zhiyuan, you don't know anything? You're overpraising me. What peerless work? I know very well what I'm capable of, but I really appreciate your words, haha. "
Seeing that Cai Runnian was happy, Zhang Zhiyuan immediately echoed, "I know a little, but I don't know how to write. I hope to have you as my teacher in the future, and study calligraphy with devotion. If you can accept me, I'll be very lucky. "
"Haha, I can't accept you, you should find someone else." As he spoke, Cai Runnian sat on the sofa, and Zhang Zhiyuan immediately took a cup of water from the table over. Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan was both sensible and eloquent, he wanted to test him, and asked, "Zhiyuan, where do you think I should hang this piece of calligraphy? Look at my study, it's empty, I want to hang it here. "
Zhang Zhiyuan pondered, "Professor Cai, it's very suitable to hang your calligraphy anywhere, but I hope you won't be angry with me for my advice."
"Hmm?" Cai Runnian was quite interested, and said, "Come, come, come. Tell me about it."
Zhang Zhiyuan gathered his courage and said, "Professor Cai, this poem expresses the poet's infinite nostalgia and admiration for the heroes of the past, as well as the poet's emotional feelings for his rough life. 'Life is like a dream', it expresses the poet's infinite regret for not being able to use his talent. 'A bottle of wine to return the moon in the river', it expresses the poet's emotions through wine, thinking about the past and present, and the feelings are melancholy. This is the ending of the poem, which lingers in the air. Although it's grand and majestic, the emotions are too suppressed, and it doesn't match your identity. "
"Hmm." Cai Runnian nodded, "Not bad, it seems that you're quite diligent. Let me tell you, I've asked many people the same question, and all of them were sucking up to me, only you could see the clues. Not bad! "
Zhang Zhiyuan did not get carried away, and took the opportunity to show the things he brought, and said, "Professor Cai, this is your study, and hanging some landscape paintings is more suitable for your identity. It just so happens that I have a little treasure, and I'm willing to add color to your study. "
Hearing that there was something good, Cai Runnian immediately sat up, and looked at Zhang Zhiyuan as he slowly opened the scroll. When the two words' Lan Ying 'popped out, he suddenly became excited, and picked up the magnifying glass on the table to carefully examine it. The lighting in the study wasn't good enough, so he placed it on the table lamp and studied it for ten-odd minutes before he raised his head and asked in surprise, "Where did you get it from?"
Zhang Zhiyuan lied, "I bought it from my friend. I don't know calligraphy, and neither does my friend. He doesn't know who Lan Ying is, and he thought that it's a piece of art, so he spent ¥2,000 to buy it. Since I don't know anything about calligraphy, I wanted you to appraise it for me."
Zhang Zhiyuan tactfully said, trying to show that the painting wasn't worth much, and he wasn't here to give it as a gift, but to appraise it together.
Cai Runnian appeared calm, and he looked at it again before throwing the magnifying glass on the table. "Zhiyuan, are you joking with me? What do you not know? Not only do you know, but you're also an expert. You dare to say that you bought it for ¥2,000? "
"It's true!" Zhang Zhiyuan insisted, "Professor Cai, I'm an economist, and I really don't know anything about calligraphy."
A smile appeared on Cai Runnian's face. "Alright, I know what you're thinking. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Hearing Cai Runnian getting straight to the point, Zhang Zhiyuan quickly said, "Professor Cai, there's nothing else. I'm just here to see you."
"Really?" Cai Runnian purposely asked.
"Really."
Cai Runnian raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "I know about your situation. We're family, so don't be so polite. Just tell me, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Professor Cai, I've just said that I'm an economist …"
"Oh." Cai Runnian thought for a while and said, "The Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Huang is planning to implement the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the province this year. Because of this, a special Enterprise Reform Office was set up last year, with him as the team leader and Deputy Governor Luo Jianghua as the deputy team leader. Dongzhou City will be the pilot. By the way, didn't you do the restructuring in Nanyang this year? You even got Secretary Huang's personal approval. You're really good at this! "
