Wang Mengguo said: "After we arrived in Taiwan in 1949, we lost the news about Qiu Suren. Until the 1980s, when we could communicate information, we asked someone to inquire, but there was no news about him. I didn't expect that he really became a monk."

Qiu Suzhen was still a little suspicious and said, "It may not be him. Township Mayor Ye, what happened when you said you had received his care?"

Ye Zhiran said that the piece of jade given by Monk Kude played a crucial role in the process of killing the "two lis".

After hearing him, Qiu Suzhen asked, "Where is that piece of jade? Are you still carrying it?"

Ye Zhiran said, "I'll bring it with me." After that, he put on a jade pendant for Qiu Suzhen to show it.

Qiu Suzhen took the jade pendant and looked carefully. The two lines of tears couldn't help but shed. She handed the jade to Wang Mengguo beside her and said, "It's really him. I recognize this jade. He has worn it on his body since he was a child."

Wang Mengguo took the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, and smiled and said, "Finally, there is news about him, which is also a happy event, so you don't have to be sad."

After saying that, he returned the jade to Ye Zhiran and said, "Governor Ye, thank you for conveying such good news. The fact that Qiu Suren can give you the jade pendant means that there must be an opportunity between you and him. Can you tell us about his situation?"

Ye Zhiran did not answer his words at first, but asked: "Is Master Kude commonly known as Qiu Suren? Dong Wang and him are really old acquaintances?"

Wang Mengguo nodded and said, "Su Ren is my wife's uncle. After he was separated in 1949, he has never heard from him. We thought he was gone, but we didn't expect that Township Mayor Ye gave us such good news, which is really worthy of this trip."

Although Ye Zhiran had already guessed in his heart, Ye Zhiran was still surprised to learn that Monk Kude was really Qiu Suzhen's brother. He sighed: "I have never heard Master Kude talk about the past. I didn't expect that the master was born in a wealthy and could not have been a monk for decades, devoted himself to practicing Buddhism, cultivating one's own character, and benefiting the people of Changjia."

Qiu Suzhen said: "Our Qiu family was a great family member in Jianan in the early years of the Republic of China. Brother Su Ren's early years of enlightenment was extraordinary. Unexpectedly, when he was fifteen years old, he accidentally went to Donglin Temple to study Buddhism. He was obsessed with Buddhism and called himself "Suffering Deity" and insisted on being slaughtered in Donglin Temple. His parents were furious and imprisoned for several months, not allowing him to become a monk. Later, when the whole family went to Taiwan in 1949, he lost his whereabouts halfway. We later asked someone to look for him many times and asked someone to go to Donglin Temple to inquire. We learned that the mainland had been destroyed in the sixties and seventies and eradicated superstitions, and there were no monks in Donglin Temple. We thought he was no longer alive. Today, we learned from the head of Ye Township that he was still alive and hoped to be happy. Township Ye, please tell me about his situation first."

Ye Zhiran smiled apologetically and explained the legendary monk Kude from the people. Hearing that Monk Kude has such a great reputation among the people of Changjia, the two were very pleased.

Qiu Suzhen said: "Groupe Mayor Ye, when I heard the news from Su Ren, I wish I could meet him immediately. Can you accompany us?"

Ye Zhiran said: "Yes, but the Jianan City Investment Promotion Negotiation Conference will open tomorrow. The meeting will last for three days. Can we go together after the end?"

Qiu Suzhen shook her head and said, "Three days have been too long, I can't wait."

Ye Qinglian was listening to the conversation between them and became interested in Monk Kude. At this time, when Mrs. Qiu was anxious to go to Changjia, she said, "I can understand the mood of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qiu. I think this is the case. You can attend the opening ceremony tomorrow, and then talk to the comrades who came to Changjia County to recruit. After that, let the village head Xiaoye send you back to Changjia, which will not delay time."

Qiu Suzhen said: "We will leave after the opening ceremony. We will talk to Mayor Ye on the road about investment."

Wang Mengguo agreed and said: "Okay, that's great. After the opening ceremony, we will go to Changjia with Township Mayor Ye. We will discuss the specific investment matters with Township Mayor Ye slowly, and this matter will never be discussed for a while."

Several people talked for a while, and the waiter brought the dishes.

Ye Qinglian asked: "Dr. Wang, what wine should I drink?"

Wang Mengguodao: "Do you have a daughter Hong in Shaoxing? I'll drink some yellow wine." After saying that, he sighed, "Suzhen, do you still remember? The first time I went to your house, I drank daughter Hong. That day, my parents-in-law asked Su Ren to come out to accompany him. After he took a sip of the son Hong, he refused to drink it again, and only ate vegetables."

Qiu Suzhen nodded and said, "He is such a person. Decades have passed, and I really miss him a little."

Since Dong Wang wanted to drink yellow wine, Ye Zhiran naturally also drank yellow wine to accompany him. Ye Qinglian and his secretary Feng Xiufang had been in the officialdom for a long time, but in order to accompany Qiu Suzhen, they had drinks and wine together.

Filling the wine glasses, Ye Qinglian raised her glass and said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Qiu, on behalf of the Jianan Municipal Government, I welcome the two elderly people to return to China to invest. I would like to pay my respects to each other, which is the perfect friendship of the landlords."

Wang Mengguo smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. You will give us a gift when you come back this time. It's a good omen. After we return to Changjia, we will go first and take a look. Be familiar with the environment. If the environment is appropriate and the policy is preferential, we will consider investing in Changjia."

Among the five, three women, two of them are a little older, and they can only drink slowly when drinking.

Wang Mengguo is a well-known entrepreneur in Taiwan and is always about the worldly affairs. When he returned to China, he went to Beijing to visit and then returned to Jianan. Along the way, government officials enthusiastically invited them to drink and have dinner, hoping that he would invest in the local area. Therefore, he had a preliminary understanding of the domestic investment environment. Before coming to Jianan, he was hesitant about building a factory in a big city or returning to his hometown to build a factory.

He turned around and asked, "Mayor Ye, is Township Mayor Ye your younger brother?" As the mayor in charge of investment promotion in Jianan, Ye Qinglian, a small township chief, came out to contact him in detail. With his shrewdness, he immediately thought of the relationship between the two, not to mention that both of them were surnamed Ye.

Ye Qinglian smiled and said, "My hometown leader Ye is not related by blood."

After thinking about it, he said, "Although Township Mayor Ye is young, he is a celebrity in Jianan City. He led people to kill the 'two Li', which caused a sensation."

When Ye Zhiran saw Qinglian sticking gold on his face, he said, "If you want to kill the 'two Li', Master Kude has made great contributions. Before this, the master had already seen that I had a bloody disaster. I would have escaped the opportunity to give me a jade pendant to protect me."

Sure enough, when talking about Monk Kude, Qiu Suzhen's interest increased greatly and asked: "Governor Xiaoye, you have talked about Monk Kude's mystery several times. Is this a rumor or a certain authenticity?"

Ye Zhiran said: "Master Kude can draw the other side unknown to ordinary people from ordinary phenomena, which is absolutely true. In my opinion, his perspective on things is different. Many things we ignore, but Master Kude sees the small knowledge from it. This is the real ability."

This sentence was recognized by Wang Mengguo. He nodded and said, "Su Ren has been extremely intelligent since childhood. He has his own perspective on people and things. From this point of view, it is normal for him to see more things around everyone than ordinary people. In addition, he has studied Buddhism for decades, and he must have gained a lot of inspiration from it. Ordinary people think that he is profound and unfathomable."

Qiu Suzhen sighed and said, "When I was young, I felt quite puzzled by the fact that my elder brother became a monk. After many years, I am now older and have some understanding of his original choice. A hundred years of life are just like a flash of time. My elder brother actually realized the meaning of life and death before us."

Wang Mengguo said: "You are a bit pessimistic. We should do more for future generations and hometown while we still have the ability. This time we return home, we will go to Changjia to see the environment first. Next time, we will let the eldest and second generations implement the specific matters of investing in and opening a factory. After these things are done, we will buy a house in Changjia, and Ye Luo returns to our roots. It is also a pleasure to have this life together with Su Ren."

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Dr. Wang said this very well. The scenery of Xishan Mountain is beautiful and is a good place for leisure and retirement. When I get older, I will live in Changjia to experience the comfort and peace of the paradise."

Everyone laughed when they said this sentence. Wang Mengguodao said: "Why do you live in your old age when you are young? Doing more things while you are young is serious."

Ye Zhiran said: "If I could convince Mr. Wang to invest in a factory in Changjia, I would do something meaningful to Changjia's parents and fellow villagers. Not only is the superior satisfied, but the people of Changjia will also be grateful for my work."

Wang Mengguo pointed at him with his finger and said with a smile: "You will have this opportunity, don't worry."

In the following time, everyone turned the topic to the customs and customs of Jianan. Although Ye Qinglian had just arrived in Jianan, she had a very good understanding of Jianan through Uncle Cai. She was very eloquent and heard Wang Mengguo and Qiu Suzhen laughed happily from time to time.

Seeing that Feng Xiufang was a little restrained, Ye Zhiran didn't speak much, raised his glass and said to her: "My secretary Feng, I'll give you a cup, and I'll ask you to take care of you in the future."

Feng Xiufang was versatile and had already understood Mayor Ye’s care for him in his heart. Naturally, he didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of him. He smiled and said, “Guest Ye, you can’t say care. If you need me to do my best in the future, just give me an order, and I will definitely not refuse.”

"Minister Feng is so polite." Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Mayor Ye, there are no weak soldiers under his command."

Ye Qinglian smiled and said, "Xiao Feng is really good."

Feng Xiufang was relieved when she heard this praise and felt more fond of Ye Zhiran. When she heard Ye Zhiran and Ye Qinglian talk, she was not as cautious as the lower-level officials when they saw the senior officials. Instead, she seemed close to nature and believed in Wang Mengguo's speculation. She smiled and raised her glass and said, "I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and I respect Wang Dong and Mr. Qiu for a cup. I wish both of you a smooth trip and a successful investment."
