After the two talked, Qian Lingyun no longer had the mood to go to work.

He went straight to the market, went to a stall he often visited, and asked the owner if he had any freshly pickled duck eggs.

Mr. Tao likes to eat salted duck eggs very much and he must eat one with every meal, but his habit is very special. He only eats the egg yolk and not the egg white.

Qian Lingyun also searched for a long time in the vegetable market before he found an authentic red-heart duck egg stall.

He has been patronizing the store over the years and would buy some for Mr. Tao every now and then.

Seeing that Qian Lingyun, the old customer, was very enthusiastic, the shop owner quickly brought out the salted duck eggs that had just been pickled for two days.

"Boss, the pickled duck eggs this time are of very high quality. How many do you want?"

"Give me a hundred!"

"Okay! I'll pack it for you right away. Do you want a gift box?"

“No, just use a transparent bag.”

"Okay, one hundred salted duck eggs are 250 yuan."

Qian Lingyun frowned, "This number is not elegant, can you make it cheaper?"

The shop owner chuckled and said, "Then I'll save you one dollar, 249 dollars?"

249? This number is quite auspicious, nine often appear...

"Okay! I'll give it to you!"

Qian Lingyun paid quickly.

Carrying a hundred salted duck eggs, he went directly to the villa area where the ministerial leaders lived.

When he gives away salted duck eggs, he never puts them in gift boxes.

Because there are many acquaintances in that community, if you take a box there, no one will know what is inside and there will be misunderstandings.

This will have a bad influence on Mr. Tao, and it will also have a bad influence on myself!

A transparent bag is much better. If someone asks about it, just lift the bag and let them see it. It’s just salted duck eggs!

Arrived at the villa area.

The security guard at the gate seemed to know Qian Lingyun. He asked which building he was going to and let him in without asking him to register.

Arrived at the door of Mr. Tao’s house.

Qian Lingyun straightened his collar, adjusted his mood, and tried his best to look more energetic.

Satisfied with the cleanup, he reached out and rang the doorbell.

Soon a young woman's voice came from the video phone at the door.

"Who is it?"

"I'm Qian Lingyun, and I'm here to visit Mr. Tao."

The phone was hung up.

Soon, with a click, the door opened automatically.

Qian Lingyun was used to it and pushed the door open and walked in.

The woman who was speaking was Mr. Tao’s nanny. She was in her early forties and had been taking care of Mr. Tao’s daily life over the years.

After going upstairs, the nanny politely took the salted duck egg from Qian Lingyun's hand and led him to the living room.

In the living room, Tao Anzhi was sipping tea and reading a newspaper, looking leisurely and contented.

"Old leader, I'm here to see you." Qian Lingyun stood at the door and said cautiously.

Tao Anzhi took off his reading glasses, squinted his eyes and looked towards the door. When he saw clearly that the person coming was Qian Lingyun, he immediately smiled.

"Ling Yun? Come on, come on, sit down."

Qian Lingyun walked over with a smile and sat down in the first seat under Tao An.

The two hands were folded together somewhat uneasily, placed on the knees, and kept rubbing...

"We haven't finished eating the duck eggs you sent me last time, and now you're sending so many now. It's a waste! How are you doing recently?" Tao Anzhi said with a smile in a kind tone.

At this time, the nanny came over and poured a cup of tea for Qian Lingyun.

After Qian Lingyun nodded in thanks, he noticed that there was less water in Tao Anzhi's cup, so he took the kettle and refilled it for Tao Anzhi.

He smiled as he poured the water, "Mr. Tao, I'm still the same as always, reading the newspaper at work and checking my wife's face after get off work... How about you? How's your health lately?"

Tao Anzhi narrowed his eyes and chuckled. Hearing Qian Lingyun's dissatisfaction with the current situation, he said with a smile, "I still have those old health problems, three highs, and I take medicine every day. Lingyun, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. Don't give up on yourself."

Qian Lingyun sighed, "Mr. Tao, you know me well over the years. I have always wanted to do things and start a business, but I just had bad luck. If I have the chance, I really want to go out and work hard again!"

This was a test. He wanted to know whether Tao Anzhi knew about the provincial party committee's mobilization and how much he knew.

Tao Anzhi smiled and pretended to be silent. "There must be a chance. I recently heard that the mayor of Pingyang City is going to be nominated. The provincial party committee is considering candidates. With your qualifications, you should also be considered."

"Oh? Is it true?" Qian Lingyun pretended to be shocked.

In fact, he was extremely surprised. The information provided by Li Lin was confirmed by Mr. Tao, which made him feel completely relieved.

"I am old, but my ears are not deaf and my eyes are not blurry. I won't have heard it wrong!" Tao Anzhi still smiled, with a slightly teasing tone.

In fact, he was emphasizing that although he was old, he had many students and former officials around him, and he could hear even the most secret news.

Moreover, the accuracy of the information was very high. He even knew clearly who were in the meeting and what they said.

It was as if he was actually present at the meeting!

Qian Lingyun was terrified, knowing that what he had just said was a question and an offense to Tao Anzhi's ability.

He quickly said, "Mr. Tao, that's not what I meant. I was just too excited. How could I not believe what you said?"

"Haha... Lingyun, even if you didn't come to see me today, I was going to tell you about this so that you can be mentally prepared. You should make some efforts and use your connections. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you don't work hard for it, the opportunity will be taken by others!"

Tao Anzhi didn't care about Qian Lingyun's misconduct at all. Instead, he caringly advised him to exercise in advance.

"Mr. Tao, I'm really touched that you always think of me. It's a pity that I'm not up to the mark. I'm afraid I can only be a runner-up this time..." Qian Lingyun quickly showed an attitude of gratitude.
