Chapter 47
They arrived too late last night, and after getting off the car, they were taken directly to the guesthouse by Zhang Xing. Wei Ge actually didn’t get a clear look at the scenery of the city.
On the bus, everything on both sides of the road passed by very quickly, the low buildings, trees and small stalls, it seemed that this county town was not developing very fast.
But when you actually walk around inside, you will find that this county town is actually very well built.
There are almost no dirt roads in the entire county. Although there are no tall buildings, each house has its own characteristics and retains its original style and taste.
From a design perspective, this place has more cultural heritage than cities that only have skyscrapers.
Although everything looks like it belongs to the past, it is well preserved, as if someone is carefully maintaining this paradise away from the city.
There is no publicity about Qu County on the entire Internet, and no tourists have ever come to this place, but their construction is much better than those cities that are crowded with tourists.
"This place is quite beautiful, why doesn't anyone promote it?" Wei Ge looked at the dark patterns on the walls and stones. If it were a tourist city, it would probably have been marked as a tourist attraction, and many tourists would come over to take pictures.
"It's better to have no talents. So many people make our place a mess. We are just a few ordinary people. We have food to eat and drinks to drink." The old man glanced at the pattern next to him and said, "Too many people will make even the best things look vulgar."
That's true, outsiders don't care about other people's things at all, and the same goes for cities.
Many tourists come here just to follow the trend and have no idea of the significance of these things. They just check in and take photos. While this boosts the economy, it also damages the city's heritage.
Thinking of this, Wei Ge put down his hand that was originally planning to take a photo, fearing that this action would trigger the old man's plan.
"Take pictures if you want. I have a lot of pictures on my phone. We don't have to post them, but you can keep them as a souvenir." Zhang Xing put his arm around Wei Ge's shoulders.
Wei Ge smiled at Zhang Xing and took out his cell phone to take a picture.
"Speaking of which, for a small county like ours to have these things, we are also lucky to have met a noble person." The old man seemed to be tired from walking and sat down on a stone bench nearby.
The stone bench looked very new, and it looked like it had been built recently. "Sir?"
"Xiaolu and his son have been donating money to us to repair the road." The old man looked up at the surrounding roads and greenery. "Xiaolu was the first person to leave our area. He started a company, made money, and donated a lot when he came back."
The old man pointed to a road in the distance and said, "She built that road. After she passed away, her son built all the roads in the county and did all this. We're all poor here, so we can't afford to live in luxury self-built houses like these. We used to live in small one-story bungalows, plant fields in front of the door, and just make do."
Wei Ge looked at the tall building in the distance. It was indeed not made of ordinary materials. It was even not much different from Uncle Xing's villa.
He thought of something and searched for Luzhou Entertainment on the web. Xing Zhao's name did not appear in the entries that popped up. Xing Zhao's identity and appearance have always been a mystery in the entire business world.
But there is another name in the entry.
Lu Xiaoyun, founder of Luzhou Entertainment.
There is a photo of Lu Xiaoyun on the entry. She looks less than 30 years old and looks a bit like Xing Zhao. She looks like a decisive and strong woman.
"Uncle, is this the little deer you mentioned?" Wei Ge handed the only photo of Lu Xiaoyun to the uncle.
The old man's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Do you know Xiaolu?"
"I just searched it randomly on the Internet. There's everything on the Internet now." Wei Ge didn't lie. He really didn't know Lu Xiaoyun, and Xing Zhao had never mentioned his mother to him.
"This thing is really amazing. My son bought me one, but I didn't know how to use it, so I threw it under the bed." The old man pointed at the phone in Wei Ge's hand.
"I've watched Xiaolu grow up. She's smart, clever, and filial." The old man seemed to open up his conversation when he mentioned Lu Xiaoyun. "When her business started to pick up, she came back and bought milk and eggs for every household here. She didn't make much money at the time."
"Are her family still here?"
"She has no family. She grew up eating at many people's homes."
Lu Xiaoyun has no parents, but she is not really without them. Everyone in the village is very kind to her and she never goes hungry.
I go to this place to eat rice today and to another place to eat noodles tomorrow.
Lu Xiaoyun grew up little by little in this way, but she was unwilling to live in such an environment forever. First, she had a spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones, and second, she did not want to see her uncles and aunts living such a hard life.
She thinks Qu County is a good place and she wants to build up her hometown.
Originally, she wanted to promote Qu County after she made money, but the villagers didn't want to do that. They could treat every outsider warmly, but not all outsiders would cherish everything they had.
Instead of promoting it, it is better to protect it.
"I saw in an interview that she's particularly good at making your tangyuan (rice dumplings). Do you know who she learned it from?"
Although he didn't know whether he would get any results from the question, Wei Ge still asked it, and even made up an interview that he didn't even know existed.
"That must be Aunt Jiang. When Xiaolu was little, she loved going to Aunt Jiang's house the most. I still remember when she was little, she said that she wanted to eat Aunt Jiang's meat dumplings for the rest of her life."
As the old man was talking, his thoughts went back to some time. Maybe it was because the wind was a bit strong today, and his eyes were a little red.
I learned how to make meat dumplings very successfully. Aunt Jiang was a very nice person. When she heard that I came for Lu Xiaoyun, she talked a lot about Lu Xiaoyun's childhood.
Xing Zhao was also mentioned.
However, Aunt Jiang didn't know Xing Zhao's name, she only knew that he was Xiaolu's son.
Aunt Jiang said that Xing Zhao would come back once a year to eat a bowl of the meat dumplings she made, and his eyes would always turn red while he ate. She asked him what was wrong, but he wouldn't say.
But Aunt Jiang knew that the child must be missing his mother.
On the way back to the airport, Wei Ge also took Zhang Xing's car. It seemed that the two of them got along very well. Wei Ge also exchanged contact information with Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing took a selfie with Wei Ge using his mobile phone and sent it to him, saying that if they were destined to meet again in the future, they might meet again, and if not, the photo could at least be kept as a souvenir.
His son is about to graduate and wants him to attend the graduation ceremony, but he is not sure if he can make time. Finally, after being persuaded by Wei Ge, Zhang Xing decides to go to Lushui to attend the graduation ceremony.
The reason why Zhang Xing didn't want to go was still the same as before. He didn't know if he had anything in common with his son.
Even an older brother who can be on good terms with strange children would worry that he would have no common language with his own children.
Before boarding the plane, Wei Ge sent a message to Xing Zhao, saying that the class reunion was over and he would go home tonight.
Xing Zhao on the other side did not reply, so Wei Ge turned on the flight mode and sent a message to Lao Qin to report his itinerary and flight information.
-
When Wei Ge sent the message, Xing Zhao was still holding an emergency meeting in the company. Almost all the senior executives of the group participated in the meeting, and he could feel that everyone's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.
These senior executives were all senior colleagues who had followed Lu Xiaoyun all the way. Xing Zhao had run the company very well in the past, so they were naturally convinced by Xing Zhao.
But these people are businessmen after all. When faced with issues of interest, their first reaction is always whether their own interests will be infringed.
Just like now, several senior executives who are almost a generation older than Xing Zhao bombarded Xing Zhao with questions in turn, and even said that they had always felt that Xing Zhao was too young to take on such a big responsibility.
The entire board of directors wants Xing Zhilei to take charge of the situation.
When Lu Xiaoyun was alive, they signed an agreement to transfer the position of chairman directly to Xing Zhao after he came of age. As Xing Zhao's father, Xing Zhilei naturally had no objection and devoted himself to cultivating Xing Zhao.
She pushed him to the highest position, but she never expected that one day her son would be criticized by everyone and they wanted her to take over the company again.
If there was just a problem with the game, the board of directors could have followed Xing Zhao's advice and looked at his solution first.
But on the second day after the game was launched, a so-called internal employee of Luzhou Entertainment suddenly posted a message saying that the core code of this game was completed by Luzhou Entertainment employees with great effort over a year, which was considered theft.
Without any crisis public relations or advance preparation, the war between the two companies was about to break out. ARKI has not been in the circle for so many years in vain, so naturally there are many people speaking up for ARKI.
And that game company seemed to have a lot of new fans emerging in an instant, attacking Luzhou Entertainment and even the president on the grounds that big companies did not give small companies a chance to survive and wanted to monopolize the market.
Some people even brought up previous rumors in society, saying that the president of Luzhou Entertainment had an immoral private life and invested in a male model bar as a place for his own entertainment.
A president with this kind of character is simply incapable of managing a company well, and will only seek a sense of existence by suppressing small companies.
Besides, Luzhou Entertainment has not released any games in recent years. Such well-made games and mechanisms cannot come from such a company.
All of a sudden, everyone started digging into the identity of the president of Luzhou Entertainment Company. Some people said that he was a wretched old man in his fifties who was almost balding, while others said that he might be a fugitive murderer.
After all, in the previous globally broadcast competition, Xing Zhao never showed up from beginning to end.
Netizens speculated that the reason for not showing his face was that he was afraid of being tracked by the police.
What's more, there are even rumors that the president of Luzhou Entertainment might be a member of a foreign mafia who fled here to become the president in order to avoid international pursuit.
The Internet is a place of gossip, and netizens' imaginations can circle the earth three times.
When Wei Ge landed, the hot search on the Internet was already on the phone screen.
[ARKI's president is suspected to be an alien invading the Earth.]
What the hell, Xing Zhao is not a human being anymore.
He went to Shenzhen and found that his uncle was no longer a human being.
Yesterday people said everything could be solved, but today the world is in chaos.
Wei Ge came out of the airport and saw Lao Qin's car waiting for him outside the airport, not Xing Zhao's.
"Lao Qin, how is Uncle Xing?"
Old Qin was stunned. "Mr. Xing is fine, what happened?"
Xing Zhao told Lao Qin not to tell Wei Ge what happened in the company. He didn't want his own affairs to affect Wei Ge's mood.
Based on his understanding of Wei Ge, if he encountered difficulties, Wei Ge would also worry.
But Wei Ge was unable to solve the problem, and even he found it a bit of a headache.
