Chapter 713 Incense
"Zeng Yi!"
Zeng Yi.com walked out of the exit of Rongcheng Airport and heard Gu Xiankun's voice. He turned his head to see that it was Gu Xiankun standing beside the car with a gentle smile on his face. The car was still the same car. Gu Xiankun's style is someone who has never changed a car for many years.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see!" Zeng Yi smiled and stretched out his hand at Gu Xiankun. Unlike Gu Di, Gu Xiankun always looks so gentle, just in line with the saying "A gentleman's friendship is as light as water". You rarely see Gu Xiankun gets excited and loses his composure.
"All everything is fine recently?" Gu Xiankun asked politely.
Zeng Yi nodded and smiled, "Everything is fine, the old lady's health is fine, right?"
"For your blessing, the old lady is tough recently!" Gu Xiankun smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Let's go, get in the car, let's talk more carefully when we go back!"
Zeng Yi nodded, but his feet did not move, and said, "Wait for a while, Sister Nan called and said she was coming over, but she didn't seem to see anyone else."
Gu Xiankun smiled. He knew that Zeng Yi was coming back, so he took the initiative to pick up people at the airport, but forgot to contact Wei Xiangnan before coming, and now he crashed.
The two stood there chatting for less than two minutes before they saw Wei Xiangnan's car.
After getting off the car, Wei Xiangnan looked at Gu Xiankun and said, "If you want to come over, tell me in advance. I don't have to be so anxious. Finally, I'll settle the two little ancestors in my family and hurry up. It's still one step late." Tang Weiguo went to the military academy to study for two years. If Tang Weiguo was there, Wei Xiangnan would not have been late today.
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Time Net just happened to be right. I left the terminal door. Sister Nan, you will arrive."
Wei Xiangnan was much more follower than Gu Xiankun. He stepped forward and grabbed Zeng Yi's arm and looked at him, saying, "That's right, it seems that he hasn't suffered much in the past."
Zeng Yi laughed and said, "Sister Nan, you said it seems like I went to some dire straits. I went to Dongjiang to work, not to suffer."
Bao Qifan stood two meters behind Zeng Yi, with a smile on his face. This time, Zeng Yi was invited by the Xiaowushan Management Committee to conduct an official visit, so Bao Qifan also followed him. This was his second time to visit Nanjiang. Since he visited the development of Xiaowushan in Nanjiang last time, Bao Qifan has been respecting Zeng Yi so much that he could not bear it. More importantly, he has seen Zeng Yi's powerful connections.
The three of them stood there for a while and then got into the car and returned to the city. Zeng Yi got into Wei Xiangnan's car, and Li Weicai got into Gu Xiankun's car.
Two cars headed straight to Lingjue Temple. Gu Xiankun had already arranged a banquet for reception. The food in the vegetarian workshop located in Lingjue Temple is simple, but the taste is excellent. In the past two years, it has become more and more famous in Rongcheng, and even a difficult situation is difficult to find.
Boss Zuo, Guo Penghui, Chen Long and others were already waiting at the door of the vegetarian restaurant. After meeting, everyone exchanged greetings. After entering the private room that had been booked, Zeng Yi finally sat in the guest of honor at the strong request of everyone. Today he was greeting him, and he couldn't give in.
Chen Long's temperament is becoming more and more stable. Among the people here, he is the fastest promoted one. When he met Zeng Yi, he was just the director of a small police station. Now he has been working as the executive deputy of Baiyang Public Security Bureau for several years. If nothing unexpected happens, it will only be a matter of time before he takes over as the director.
However, compared with Zeng Yi's promotion speed, Chen Long seems inferior, but this is enough to make many people envy it. In the entire Baiyang City, I am afraid that only Li Wei's promotion speed can match Chen Long.
"Come on, everyone raises their glasses together and have a drink for our common old friend Zeng Yi!" Boss Zuo was the oldest among the audience, so he naturally acted as the toastress.
Zeng Yi followed everyone to drink this cup, and when he put down the cup, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this monk Mingkong is becoming more and more accomplicated. This vegetarian restaurant actually started selling wine. It is estimated that the Buddhist precepts will be almost broken by him."
"Amitabha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Buddha's name came from the door of the private room. Then the door opened, the one who came in was the "subtle and solemn" monk Mingkong.
"Don't talk about others behind your back. I have once made a donor, you have said something nonsense." Mingkong stood at the door, saying in a tone of saving all living beings.
"Haha!" Zeng Yi laughed, stood up and bowed to Mingkong, and said, "Sin, sin, many sins have disappeared, and the master's Dharma has entered again."
Everyone laughed and stood up to give up their seats to Mingkong. Among the people present, only Zeng Yi was most familiar with the original works of the old monk Mingkong. Everyone else thought that Mingkong was really a deep Buddhist, but they didn't know that Mingkong was still learning what Mingkong showed off.
"Master Mingkong is not only an advance in Buddhism, but is now elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Nanjiang Provincial CPPCC!" Gu Xiankun said.
Zeng Yi was very surprised. Unexpectedly, this monk became more and more powerful as he became half an official. He raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to the master for being elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC!"
"The so-called reputation is just a passing cloud, and it is not worth congratulations!" As the words were said, the Great Monk Mingkong bowed to Zeng Yi and expressed his gratitude.
Zeng Yi drank this cup with a smile. He knew Mingkong the best. Mingkong was very happy now, otherwise he would not have studied things like "The Palm of Bodhidharma" before. However, Mingkong also has one advantage, that is, it is very affectionate. In the past, when Zeng Yi spoke, the monk always helped him with all his strength, so Zeng Yi regarded Monk Mingkong as a friend.
After sitting down, Boss Zuo suddenly said, "Master Mingkong, can you arrange the incense stick of Lingjue Temple in the first day of next month?"
Mingkong was in trouble and said, "The donor left, this matter is probably a bit difficult. All the incense sticks at the beginning of the month this year have been booked by Mr. Wang from Xiao Wushan."
Boss Zuo was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. Mr. Wang from Xiao Wushan is a big source. I heard that he was the wife of the head of the capital who went to Xiao Wushan to raise him after retirement. The old lady believed in Buddhism in her later years. Since she arrived in Nanjiang, she had heard Master Mingkong talk about Zen once, and she became a regular visitor to Lingjue Temple.
"Let's do this!" Mingkong didn't know how to reject Boss Zuo directly and said, "I'll arrange it for Boss Zuo for the fifteenth next month."
When Boss Zuo heard this, he nodded and accepted it. "The rich burn incense, and the poor tell fortunes." After Boss Zuo's business grew in the past two years, he somehow became obsessed with spending money on incense sticks, and he was very excited. The money spent on it every year is not a small amount. He said, "I'm here to be the master."
"Amitabha!" Monk Mingkong sang another Buddha's name, and said solemnly: "Good, good!" It seemed that he was helping Boss Zuo do a great good deed.
Zeng Yi smiled helplessly. He couldn't interfere with Boss Zuo's personal hobbies. He just suddenly thought of something funny. He thought that the Standing Committee of the CPPCC of Master Mingkong was not just a member of the Divine Officials who helped the nobles arrange the incense?
Thinking of this, Zeng Yi joked and said, "After saying this, I want to get together with the fun of this incense stick. Can the master give it a convenience?"
Monk Mingkong showed a more difficult god. He could refuse anyone else's words, but Zeng Yi was really hard to refuse. Zeng Yi knew all his true feelings, but Zeng Yi was just that no one mentioned them to outsiders. Moreover, if Zeng Yi had not "inspired" by Zeng Yi, he would not have the achievements and status of today.
After hesitating for a long time, Monk Mingkong said, "Zeng Donor is a person who has great merits to the people. It is difficult for him to come back to Nanjiang. If this is not convenient, it is unkind and not what I wish for. In this way, please visit Han Temple on the first day of the next month. I dare to make the decision and make an example for Zeng Donor."
Everyone was shocked. When they reacted, they couldn't help but look at me. I saw you and thought that they could do this. Fortunately, this monk could think of it. He actually asked Zeng Yi to go to the temple to burn incense in the middle of the night. This incense stick was really real, but he just felt sorry for the old lay Buddhist Wang.
Boss Zuo smiled bitterly and suggested that the old monk had only arranged the fifteenth day of next month, while Zeng Yi suggested that it was immediately the first day of next month. The difference in treatment was too big. It was useless that he had donated so much money to Lingjue Temple.
However, this is also a good thing. Zeng Yi can be so flexible. When the dinner is over, he will discuss it with the old monk in private, and maybe he can be so flexible.
Zeng Yi pretended to think and said, "Think about it, let's forget it. I can't destroy the master's years of cultivation because of me. This example cannot be broken."
"Amitabha!" Old Monk Mingkong breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "Good, good!"
Boss Zuo remembered it in his heart, and thought to himself that he must find monk Mingkong to make some adjustments.
Just sitting there for a moment, Boss Zuo looked at Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi suddenly came here like this today, it was not for no reason. After thinking about it, Boss Zuo understood a little. Zeng Yi was also reminding himself not to pay too much attention to that formal thing. Doing good deeds is fate but not fate.
However, with this episode, the atmosphere at the dining table became much more lively. Monk Mingkong suddenly joined, making it difficult for everyone to speak casually. As a result, when Zeng Yi did, Mingkong could no longer act like a solemn master. His speech returned to normal and no longer pretended to be profound, which made everyone speak much more casually.
After the dinner, everyone left, and Zeng Yi and Bao Qifan stayed in the Qingjiang Hotel. This time, Xiao Wushan’s cooperation signing ceremony and the elderly care industry seminar were all set at Gu Xiankun’s Qingjiang Hotel. This is also a kind of thing that is close to the water and the moon is the first to get the moon. When Zeng Yi was there before, there were any large-scale meetings, the Qingjiang Hotel would be given priority.
