Huge crowd

In April, Yingcheng is shrouded in the humid and hot rainy season, which is sticky and boring.

It's been half a month since Lu Zheng returned to Yingcheng from the "Firefly" headquarters after he settled the crisis. He was sound asleep when he was woken up by the stewardess and got off the plane, and slept all the way back to the company in the car.Until he entered the gate of "Zhengfu", he was still wearing the dyed T-shirt that was used as pajamas, wearing first-class slippers around his neck pillow, half a pair of blindfolds were pushed on his head, and his hair was messed up and still hanging With dark circles under his eyes and a mournful face, he looked like a cervical spondylosis patient who had escaped from the psychiatric department.

As soon as they entered the company, several directors of the Audit and Assurance Department, the Data Analysis Department, and the Project Department rushed towards Lu Zheng like hungry wolves. "Zhengfu" hadn't seen this strong boss for a long time. Everyone's posture was extremely hungry and thirsty, and the secretary couldn't stop him. Lu Zheng could only half-close his eyes and was entangled in listening to the report all the way back to the office.

"Mr. Lu, Aurora wants to bid for the global advertising and marketing business of SK's latest generation of smart wearable devices. They proposed to cooperate with us and hope that 'Zhengfu' can provide in-depth analysis and consumer data research. Aurora's competitors are very strong, and they are very urgent. , has been urging."

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I'm in a hurry. The transfer pricing plan requested by the 'Cande' laboratory is waiting for your review."

"I'm in a hurry here too, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Zheng's forehead was about to explode, and he couldn't help shouting: "Shut up!" He turned his head and asked the secretary, "Where's Mr. Yu?"

"He came back two days earlier than you and was busy with other things."

Lu Zheng cursed sullenly, and sent Lao Yu a message with his backhand: [Get back to me, I'm going to be raped/raped dead ball. 】

Old Yu asked: [It's not gang rape? 】

[Okay, I know why your hair fell out, why the hell did you go? ! 】

[One of Yunyun's partners went bankrupt, and the assets were mortgaged to the bank. I'll check the situation. 】

【...Okay, when you come back, Dad will comb your hair himself. 】

Lu Zheng sat down on the sofa in the office and changed a pair of shoes. He pointed his fingers and motioned for them to talk one by one, but he took out the cloth bag that had been hidden in his pocket for more than ten days, and poured out the almost cooked things inside. come out.

The supervisor under him chattered and reported the situation of Aurora. Lu Zheng stared at the dozen or so "black lentils" and couldn't do anything about it. He said in his mouth: "Collate SK's business data for the past three years, and put the sales curve and customer portraits into account. Make it out, ask Mr. Lin of Aurora."

With one sentence, Lu Zheng returned the initiative to the project department, and the supervisor immediately stood up like a chicken blood: "Yes!"

"next."

The personnel director suddenly jumped into the team and rushed up to complain about the poor quality of an intern recruited this year. He had enough sense of presence. Lu Zheng took out his mobile phone and pointed to the person in the WeChat list with the note titled "Offensive Weapon Holder" "Someone" stared at the avatar for a long time, finally took a picture of the black seeds, sent a message, and asked: [How to plant? 】

This is the first time they have been in contact in the past two weeks.

"Tell me about Mr. Lu," the HR director clapped his hands and said with righteous indignation, "This relational household is stuffed into the interns of 'Zhengfu', because his father is an investor, and he is too tired to do anything. When he was a colleague, he was not tired at all. Mr. Yu asked him to work overtime, but he said he didn’t know how to do anything, complained that they didn’t teach him, and even brought up the "Labor Law" to tell me that he had a heart attack. If you need labor arbitration, you have to call 12345 to complain, there is no one in our business who doesn’t work overtime, I’ll fuck him#￥%@!”

Lu Zheng didn't listen to what he said. Usually these things are in the hands of Lao Yu, and usually they can't be mentioned to him. He clicked on Gu Yuxie's reply, and murmured: "Yeah, let's go!" , water, hot?!"

"What?" the personnel director asked, frowning.

Lu Zheng stroked his chin with his finger, stared at the phone seriously and thought, "We need to scald it with boiling water..."

The personnel director was enlightened, and immediately said: "Boss, you are a cow, I understand, I will set the air conditioner in his office to only heat, and see if he pretends to be a dead pig!"

"?" When Lu Zheng came back to his senses, the personnel director had already come out aggressively, vowing to clean up the interns. Lu Zheng called to him and asked, "What are Jiaer and the others doing recently?" ?”

"It seems to be doing costcontrol for a client."

Lu Zheng nodded: "Let Jiaer send two people to Mr. Yu, he has a lot of things lately."

The expression of the personnel supervisor seemed to have seen a ghost in broad daylight. Normally, Lu Zheng would brutally squeeze Yu Guifu, firmly implement the principle of "minimum investment and maximum output", and compress the people in Lao Yu's hands to other project teams. That's why Mr. Yu became the bald man he is now.

But all of this is based on the trust in Mr. Yu's outstanding ability. Now even Lu Zheng is reluctant to squeeze him. It must be... Hey, old people are pitiful, so the personnel director silently weeps for Mr. Yu's kidney deficiency and physical weakness , Continue to swear to the sky to clean up the interns for Mr. Yu.

As soon as the personnel director left, the director in charge of the "Cande" project immediately came up eagerly: "Mr. Lu..."

Lu Zheng lowered his head and said, "Pour me a glass of boiling water."

The secretary immediately poured a glass of water, Lu Zheng touched it, and said impatiently, "I want boiling water! The boiling kind!"

"Ah?...Yes!" The secretary and the supervisor exchanged glances. The boss seemed to be in a bad mood today.

"Turn on the projection, and get to the point!" Lu Zheng took the cup, followed the steps sent by the "offensive weapon holder", and poured the seeds into boiling water.

The project supervisor began to report the progress of the work. Lu Zheng's ears were listening to the report and his brain was spinning rapidly, but his eyes were watching the seeds in the cup gradually sink to the bottom, and he fell into a state of inner peace and tranquility.

The black seed coat absorbs water during boiling, quietly breaks the dormant state, and quietly begins to swell.

In the Yunyun Garden, the shallow river is rippling, the yellow irises are blooming along the embankment, and the flowers and shades in the grove grow into a wild garden painted by William Robinson.

"Higher! Higher!" Chunlai, sweating profusely, raised his neck and reached for a bayberry tree.

The bayberry trees in the orchard next door to Yunyun have been dwarfed and thinned. This year’s bayberry fruit is delicate and tender, juicy and full of flavor. In spring, she wanted to pick bayberry by herself, but she couldn’t get out of the garden, so Gu Yuxie searched for the junction of the two gardens. Somewhere, the bayberry branches and leaves stretched out near the fence of the garden, so he hugged Chunlai and went to pick the bayberry secretly through the green fence.

Gu Yuxie propped Chunlai up high on his feet, and Chunlai leaned out holding the pruning pliers and only picked the closest one, and counted——

"One, two, three, four, there are only four...then Grandpa Liu and Grandma Wu won't be able to eat them. I want to keep one for Master Liu, one for you, one for me, and one more... "Chunlai jumped off Gu Yuxie, "...It would be great if brother Lu Zhengda was here, he is taller than you, I will definitely be able to reach the farther and taller tree, and I can pick a big basket!"

Gu Yuxie panted and wiped his sweat: "How do you know that he can carry you farther, maybe that guy still can't hold you!"

"How is that possible! He carried me to the highest and highest place on your bookshelf!" Chunlai looked proud.

Gu Yuxie: "What?"

Chunlai's little fleshy hands grabbed the bayberry branches and covered their mouths together, their little face was smeared into a big dirty face.

"When did you two go to my room to steal things!" Gu Yuxie bent down and wiped the tip of his sweaty nose.

"No, no, no, my brother won't let me tell you that he is going to steal the book on raising magnolia trees!" Chunlai turned to Gu Yuxie and shouted: "Master Liu! I invite you to eat red bayberry!"

Mr. Liu walked over wearing a flowery apron stepping on the leaves, took the bayberry handed over by Chunlai, and said with a smile: "We are very good at Chunlai, and we can plant bayberry!"

Chunlai shouted at the top of his voice, "Shh! Brother Xiaoyu took me to steal it!"

Gu Yuxie had a toothache: "You're already hushing, and your voice is still so loud! You have to bring me with you for stealing!"

Chunlai pouted and licked the red bayberry in his hand, and said with a serious face: "That's because my brother Lu Zheng is not here! He promised me last time that he would take me to pick red bayberry, and taught me how to pick red bayberry until it turns purple. The one that is sweeter than first love is delicious! Liu Ye, is yours sweeter than first love?"

Sixth Master: "........."

Gu Yuxie rubbed Chunlai's wet hair in a mess: "What do you know about first love! Open your mouth and shut your mouth, it's your friend, you don't have to be afraid that Liu Ye and I will be jealous, go back and wash your hands!"

Chunlai jumped up happily, and while walking towards Xiaobailou, he said: "I know first love, Lu Zheng said that he was the first person I liked, so I have many first loves, there is Liu Ye, there is Brother Xiaoyu, and Lu Zheng."

Gu Yuxie twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that he was only tied for first place after his turn.

He told Chunlai to go back and wash his hands, while he and Liu Ye walked under the magnolia tree.

It was still the tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the afternoon sun penetrated the branches and sprinkled them down one by one.The horticultural workers in Han Yi's Institute have already grafted and layered Mulan, and a new life was quietly conceived in the sun.

The two sat down under the tree, Gu Yuxie looked at the direction where Chunlai left, and said to Master Liu with emotion: "Do you still remember, when his mother had an accident, we both dared not close our eyes at night and took turns staring at him?" I watched him sleep, afraid that something might happen to him. I finally fell asleep without fussing, and the tears hung on my pink cheeks before they dried. I fed the grown-up child one bite at a time, and in a blink of an eye...it was so big. "

Master Liu patted his knee: "It will get better, you see, he dares to stand outside the orchard now, and he will be able to walk out soon."

Gu Yuxie nodded: "Well, he is much better than before. He used to only dare to talk to these people in our garden when he came and went, but now he only remembers outsiders."

Sixth Master jokingly asked, "Which outsider?"

Gu Yuxie pursed his lips, but did not answer.

The two chatted about their parents and the past. Gu Yuxie's phone rang. He looked down and saw a message from the note titled "Unbearable Annoyance". He bowed his head and replied to the message, unconsciously silent After coming down, he didn't even listen to what Liu Ye said later, he just stared at the magnolia tree in a daze.

Liu Ye asked: "What's the matter, I was wondering when Mulan will bloom?"

Gu Yuxie nodded.

Sixth Master: "But you don't seem to be thinking about when it will bloom, but you seem to be thinking about someone."

Gu Yuxie clenched his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and said in a panic, "What? No, I didn't think about him."

Sixth Master laughed loudly, hooked his arm, and signaled that he had gotten something.

Gu Yuxie rubbed his face that was reddened by the sun.

The air is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun is still very strong, so hot that people can't help but think of someone's stubborn embrace that night.

The sixth master looked at the sky, and said to Gu Yuxie: "In this season, it rains as soon as it is said. Aren't you going to the district government to deliver materials? Go early and come back early. I will make seed shrimp tonight."

"it is good."

In the evening, Guoying Building.

"The current situation of 'Cande' is like this. Our plan is to analyze the value chain, consider the functions and risks of 'Cande', and the degree of contribution to the research and development of products, so as to obtain a reasonable return from intellectual property owners."

Lu Zheng stared at the data one by one, nodded and said: "It is really unreasonable to charge related parties entrusted research and development service fees for only a certain percentage of the expenses incurred in their research and development process. Choose a different transfer pricing method to do cost plus Let's do it."

"Yes!"

The light of the setting sun swept into the curtain wall, and the black seeds became full one by one unconsciously.

When the phone rang, the people in the office had just left one after another. Lu Zheng got up and stood by the window to answer the phone. He didn't know if it was a long-distance trip and he had a meeting all afternoon. Behind the blinds, his eyes were tired and absent-minded. Brows frowned subconsciously.

Cai Yiran was full of energy on the other end of the phone: "Baby! How are you doing? I heard that you have lived in that garden for more than a month? Have you gained anything?"

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Lu Zheng rubbed his brows: "No."

"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing how dissatisfied you are, a flower seller can't handle it."

"Shut up and talk about things." Lu Zheng gradually lost his patience.

"Look at your anger, I'll send you a location to drink."

Lu Zheng: "Don't drink, let's do it another day. I just came back from a business trip and I'm a little tired today."

Cai Yiran was not in a hurry, and slowly dropped a location information to Lu Zheng: "About Yunyun Garden." Immediately after hanging up the phone,

Lu Zheng opened the location, which was Cai's private bar on Yazhi Road. He looked back at the seeds soaked in the cup. The water was already cold, but according to the steps of taking care of the rain break, the time had not yet come. Lu Zheng clenched his fists Sticking to the window for a moment of silence, he turned over the venetian blinds, went out and went straight to Cai Yiran's position.

"What to drink?"

As soon as Lu Zheng arrived, Cai Yiran crossed his shoulders and went to the bar to ask for a drink. Lu Zheng pushed him away: "I won't drink anymore, I'm driving."

Cai Yiran sensed that Lu Zheng was not in the mood today, so he didn't bother him too much, and said straight to the point: "What's the matter? Yunyun's boss is a tough guy?"

Lu Zheng took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, with a wry smile.

Cai Yiran twitched the corner of his mouth, took out a document and threw it on the bar.

Lu Zheng picked it up and took a look—it was a wetland reconstruction plan called "Yingdong Yunjing Forest Park"

"This……"

Cai Yiran said: "My uncle gave it to me in the afternoon, saying that it was a joint project between Yunyun and the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and they wanted to keep that piece of land."

Lu Zheng opened the plan and looked at it. From the structural layout to the functional construction, it is extremely professional. There are more than 30 exquisite watercolor manuscripts attached to the inner page. It is a conceptual map of the planned wetland park. From the water system to the detailed landscape layout, the planted tree species and flower names and corresponding locations are also marked. The overall bird's-eye view presents a wonderful visual effect.

Lu Zheng saw the familiar metasequoia forest and rose peninsula, and every stroke was the scenery that appeared in his eyes. The last page he turned was actually a painting of the ancient magnolia tree in full bloom. It turned out that the magnolia tree When the flowers are in full bloom, they are like warm and moist wine cups, blooming a faint purple-pink red, and they are buds full of spring clouds.

This was the first time that Lu Zheng saw that tree blooming. The tip of his nose was inexplicably sour, and he suddenly realized something. He turned the pages of the paintings and found that each painting was signed with a scribbled fancy signature on the back.

Lu Zheng recognized it, it was Gu Yuxie's signature.

Cai Yiran clicked on some proposals and said, "It's a wonderful idea...it's a pity."

Lu Zheng suddenly turned his head: "What a pity?"

"This land, Yingdong is definitely going to come back. The plan has been discussed long ago and has been put on the agenda. I told you this. This real estate project is very big and involves many people. Look, I It was one of them who was taken advantage of, and there was no room for this matter. So, the dream of the garden owner's flower fields is destined to be impossible."

When Lu was about to say something, Cai Yiran waved his hand to stop him and said, "Listen to me, but if this plan is not true, it will be useless."

Cai Yiran made a fool of himself and raised his chin at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng gritted his molars, poured a glass of wine for Cai Yiran and himself with great reluctance, clinked glasses with him, and looked up to drink.

Cai Yiran smacked his lips and said, "This land is still a long time away from the time Yunyun agreed to use it. To take it back, the district government must either use some brains or some means. Which one do you want?"

Lu Zheng was startled, and Cai Yiran patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry brother, what year is it, the district is still reliable, don't worry." Immediately he raised two fingers and said to Lu Zheng: "Two months! If you have a way to get the garden owner to agree to move within two months, and the district is responsible for finding him a suitable piece of land that is twice the size of the current one, then according to his plan, I will pay for them to reopen stand up."

"Two months?"

"Hmm!" Cai Yiran leisurely shook his wine glass.

Lu Zheng nodded: "It's not impossible, sign an agreement or a letter of commitment."

Cai Yiran smiled contemptuously, shook his head and said: "Verbal promise, if you don't sign or stamp it, he will believe it if he wants to. If he doesn't want to, we will go through other procedures."

If you can't use your brain, use your means.

Lu Zheng turned his face away, especially not wanting to see his face: "So what did you call me here for?"

Cai Yiran: "You have a mass base of one month, and you also want to get that tree. You go and get rid of him, analyze all the stakes, and let him make a decision earlier."

Lu Zheng: "I think you misunderstood. This guy is not me. He hates me, and it's too late to drive me away. Why do you think he will listen to me?"

Cai Yiran smiled ambiguously: "There are people who you, Young Master Lu, can't handle? Let me tell you such a simple truth, you say, this magnolia tree belongs to Yunyun Garden, and Yunyun Garden belongs to the person surnamed Gu, then ... What if the person surnamed Gu belongs to you? Do you feel like you own the whole world..."

Lu Zheng sneered: "I hug your mother!!"

Cai Yiran laughed loudly: "Master Lu, why are you blushing! Am I wrong? I saw him at my uncle's place this afternoon, and I didn't expect him to be a beauty. You are single anyway, so you don't suffer! You want a tree, I want the land, that's the point. You won't lose anything by chasing after you, right? You have to think about the method of chasing men, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."

"Stop it, you're thinking of bad tricks!" Lu Zheng drank the wine at the bottom of the glass, got up and left, he turned his head and said, "The two-month promise, you boy, remember it!"

Cai Yiran raised his hand and said, "Walk slowly, Mr. Lu!"

When Lu Zheng walked outside the bar, he realized that it was already raining heavily.The rain in the rainy season is so sudden that passers-by are soaked before they even have time to take out their umbrellas and raincoats.

Cai Yiran's red-and-black McLaren drove up to him. The driver got out of the car with an umbrella and said to Lu Zheng respectfully, "Mr. Cai said you were drunk, so let me take you home."

Lu Zheng was looking down at his phone under the eaves, and nodded to him when he heard the words: "Thank you."

When the new message was posted on Moments on the mobile phone, Lu Zhenggang walked to the side of the car, the door was already opened, and the raindrops hit the black umbrella surface, making it extremely noisy.

However, Lu Zheng put away his mobile phone, raised his mouth slightly, raised his head and said to the driver: "No need to send it, I will go by myself."

"Huh?" the driver said, "But it's raining so hard, I can't even take a taxi now."

"You go first, I have something else to do." Lu Zheng pointed at the driver at the things in his hand, "Lend me the umbrella."

Lu Zheng watched the angry McLaren drive back to the parking lot of the private bar, while he turned and walked back into the heavy rain.

The latest news in the circle of friends on the mobile phone comes from the content just posted by Mr. "Owner of offensive weapons". The picture shows the reflection of the car lights on the road in the torrential rain and... a flat tire.

Accompanying text: [Don't panic when things happen, first post a circle of friends to calm down. 】

The location information showed that it was less than two kilometers away from Lu Zheng.
