Chapter 78: Meet an old friend by chance

The Reclining Buddha Temple is a little further away from Andu City, in Changjin County, but even in midsummer in June, there are not many tourists here.

Zhao Guodong and Lan Dai accompanied Zhao Fuwang and Xu Xiuqin to visit the main hall of the Reclining Buddha Temple, it was already eleven:30.

Since he returned to Andu, Zhao Guodong naturally had to be filial, and going to the Reclining Buddha Temple to worship Buddha and relax, it became the best choice.

The Reclining Buddha Temple is located fifteen kilometers outside the outskirts of Changjin County. The road conditions are very good. Although it is not a 4A scenic spot, it seems to be more beautiful than those 4A scenic spots in Zhao Guodong. Of course, this is also due to the Reclining Buddha Temple on the Reclining Buddha Mountain. In addition, the midsummer lotus scenery of Changjin Lake, which is called a belt-shaped surrounding mountains at the bottom of the mountain, is also a unique sight, which naturally attracted a large number of Andu citizens to come here to escape the summer heat.

In early June, Changjin Lake has a bit of a green and endless lotus leaves, but it will take some time before the lotus blooms, but the vast water and lotus leaves are enough to make people intoxicated.

The mountains and hills are covered with ancient cypresses on the banks of Changjin Lake. The Reclining Buddha Temple is hidden deep in it. The mountain paths are winding, but not steep. It is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to wander in it and feel the coolness and refreshing of the natural oxygen bar. People with poor physique even need to wear a coat.

Zhao Fuwang did not believe in Buddhism, and Xu Xiuqin just wanted a wish, so the four of them had a very relaxed schedule. The table of vegetarian food prepared in the Buddhist temple was elegant and delicious. Vegetarian bamboo shoots, tofu, and lotus seed soup were all very different, and Zhao Guodong also ate it very delicious.

During lunch break, the temple also prepares rooms for foreign laymen to have rest, but more people like to rest in ancient Berlin. Thousands of acres of ancient Berlin are said to have originated from the Qin and Han dynasties, which are obviously exaggerated, but the history should have been hundreds of years, and it has evolved into a large landscape next to the reclining Buddha Temple today.

Zhao Guodong stood alone on the hillside, with a wide view here, just by looking down from the dense pine and cypress forests, the winding Changjin Lake below.

Lan Dai accompanied her parents to the living room to rest. She drove for seven or eight hours yesterday and slept late last night, so she also wanted to take a rest. The reclining Buddha Temple was refreshed and sleeping here is said to be enough for one month at home, so the three of them went to have a short rest after eating vegetarian food.

Zhao Guodong was very energetic and wanted to climb up and look into the distance alone. However, the Sleeping Foshan Mountain was not high, and the relative height was at most two or three hundred meters. Fortunately, the peaks were complex and enough for tourists to hike.

“Huh?!”

A slightly surprised voice came from behind, which made Zhao Guodong a little worried. Needless to say, someone must have discovered his whereabouts again.

The most troublesome thing about returning to Andu is that there are too many acquaintances. If you are in the city, you will be in a hurry and there will be cars coming and going, which can save you a lot of trouble. However, in this kind of place where there are so many tourists, you are not the kind of image that you lose yourself in the crowd. People with some impression can naturally recognize themselves at a glance.

"Director Guodong?!" The tentative voice behind him was obviously a little inaccurate whether he had recognized the wrong person. He seemed to think that the possibility of meeting Zhao Guodong here is indeed quite small, but from the background, some are indeed very similar. Although we haven't seen each other for several years, Zhao Guodong's handsome figure still impressed people.

Zhao Guodong also felt that his voice was very familiar, so he turned around and looked at the two women in front of him with surprise expressions on their faces.

"Xu Qiao? Shan Ping?"

Zhao Guodong didn't expect to meet these two former friends Huaiqing here, and he felt much less depressed.

Who is the half-old Xu Mom in front of me who is Xu Qiao, who was her colleague during the Huaiqing period? It seems that her secretary is really loved by Xu Qiao, and she is still following Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao should now be the deputy director of the Anyuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission. As a member of the *** party, although she has outstanding work ability and has received many promotion opportunities, she often faces many opportunities when encountering certain special opportunities, *** party cadres can often step over obstacles that *** cadres cannot overcome and reach the top. This is also a need for the special domestic situation.

Xu Qiao was dressed up casually, wearing a tight-fitting light blue T-shirt, a pair of white cropped pants, a pair of white Nike wearing sports socks, and a pair of sunglasses that had just taken off and held it in his hand. It really tasted like a stroll and fitness exercise.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Shan Ping seemed to have matured a lot. The little girl who came from a 10-year-old travel technical secondary school has shed her original youth, but her pretty and sweet look is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. The fruit-green shirt exposed her white belly, and the low-waisted craft jeans seemed to have barely slid her hip bones. The small sunglasses on her face had not yet been taken off, but the joy from the heart showed that she had already proved her mood.

"Director Guodong, is it really you?!" Xu Qiao was a little overjoyed and happy. He didn't expect to meet Zhao Guodong here, which is really a bit fate.

Xu Qiao has been very excited since Zhao Guodong was transferred from the Organization Minister of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee to the Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission. No one expected that Zhao Guodong, who had faded out of Anyuan, would suddenly step into the central government from southern Yunnan. The importance of the position of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission is far beyond the status of the local Development and Reform Commission, especially in essence, China still belongs to the centralized system, and the status of the National Development and Reform Commission is even more extraordinary.

Xu Qiao originally hoped to find an opportunity to visit Zhao Guodong in Beijing in the near future. After all, he was his old boss, and now he has become a vertical boss. His work in the past two years has not been very smooth. From Yu Jun’s mediocre life to Yang Shaopeng’s monopoly of power, the pond of water in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission has not been purified, which makes Xu Qiao, who is determined to do something, also gets a little bored.

I didn’t expect to meet Zhao Guodong here. How could Xu Qiao not be overjoyed?

"Xu Qiao, who else can I be? Am I changing a lot? Shan Ping, tell me, are I changing a lot? Have you grown a lot?" Zhao Guodong also took off his sunglasses with a smile, "But you two have not changed a lot. Well, Shan Ping has become beautiful and has a bit feminine."

When Shan Ping heard Zhao Guodong's jokes with some teasing taste, her pretty face turned red. She had long been used to this kind of language when she was a secretary by Xu Qiao. Even if she was much more explicit than Zhao Guodong's words, she turned a deaf ear and did not respond. However, Zhao Guodong's words made her feel a little unspeakable.

Shan Ping is a very kind girl. Although she has no contact with Zhao Guodong, every Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Guodong always receives blessing messages from her, which makes Zhao Guodong sigh for his thrift.

Giving someone a rose will leave a fragrance on his hands. This sentence seems to be deeply reflected in Shan Ping.

"Director Zhao, no matter whether your words comfort me or not, I really like your praise." Shan Ping was very sensible and sweet-mouthed. She was already looking around where there was a place for sitting and taking a nap. She felt that the boss wanted to chat with Zhao Guodong.

"Well, Shan Ping, then I will praise you a few more words. I also like to see the smiles on the beautiful girls' faces." Zhao Guodong said happily: "Xu Qiao, why are you so free? I took Shan Ping to visit the Reclining Buddha Temple alone?"

"The weather is too hot. I wanted to find a place to rest for two days, but I didn't expect that there were so many people in the Reclining Buddha Temple. I had to give up the idea of ​​staying for two days and would rather go home and stay there. I didn't expect to meet you here." Xu Qiao also said generously.

"Sister Qiao, Director Zhao, there is a shade over there, and there is a bluestone next to it. Why don't we go there and sit there?" Shan Ping had already looked around with light steps and ran back.

"Okay, I haven't seen you two for a long time. I don't have much time to go back to Anyuan now. I want to talk to you. Xu Qiao, after all, I am your old boss, and now I am your direct leader in your business. I have been in the Development and Reform Commission for two months. Why haven't I seen you come to Beijing to report on your work? Anyuan Development and Reform Commission cannot afford the air ticket, so I will give it to you." Zhao Guodong said while raising his steps.

"Oh, Director Guodong, I have to take this back to Director Shaopeng. Our original Development and Reform Commission must change our work style and go to Beijing more often. I am afraid that Director Guodong will think that we will run away too much and think that we are annoying." Xu Qiao continued with a smile.

"Xu Qiao, don't misinterpret my meaning. I just welcome you to my place. It's not about Anyuan Development and Reform Commission. As for others, it's better to follow the procedures. Go wherever you should go, and whether you are right to the person or not. Do you understand?" Zhao Guodong sat down on the big bluestone.

This large bluestone is located on the edge of the cliff, and a top cliff just blocks the view. If Shan Ping hadn't run over to check, ordinary people wouldn't have found such a quiet place here.

As soon as Zhao Guodong sat down, Xu Qiao and Shan Ping also sat down.

"I must have the idea of ​​Director Guodong's intention. I must go to Beijing within a month and go to Director Guodong to sit there." Xu Qiao smiled and said, "I have read the division of labor on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission. You seem to be in charge of several major parts. If there is one part of my work, you can also connect with Director Guodong. It is the use of high-tech industries, foreign capital and foreign investment, and I am also in charge of this part in the province."

"That's good. I think Anyuan's high-tech industry should have a good foundation. How to seize the opportunities in front of you is also something that your province, including the provincial party committee and government, should seriously consider. The 11th Five-Year Plan has been issued. What are your province's plans in this area? You, the deputy director in charge, should take the initiative to come up with your ideas and opinions. The committee should also take the initiative to report to the provincial party committee and government. But at least I have not seen any actions from you Anyuan in the past two months."
