rebirth against the times

Xie Ning walked over in an unusually friendly manner and greeted Bai Shuo warmly. Before Bai Shuo could respond, Xue Yanming and several other vice presidents also came over.

"Hey, Boss Bai, it turns out you and Boss Xie are old acquaintances," said a vice president.

Bai Shuo said coldly: "Haha, we are indeed old acquaintances. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xie here before he returned to the Magic City. It's really a pleasure to meet you."

Xie Ning smiled and said: "Everyone has gone through many hardships this time. Fortunately, not only did we break La'an's conspiracy, but we also contributed to the establishment of the Villagers Association. Of course, I also want to congratulate all the leaders. Besides, I

The things here are not over yet, I was lucky to have everyone’s help before me, so how can I just leave now.”

"Yes, Boss Xie is really our great benefactor. He suffered a lot of grievances in La'an this time, but he was still able to ignore the past grudges and stay to help solve the problems here in Laliang Town..."

Bai Shuo didn't know what method Xie Ning used, but he must have completely gained everyone's trust, and he didn't want to fall out rashly at the moment. He patiently said a few words of cowardice, and then used an excuse to drag Xue Yanming to his table for a toast.

After Cao An, Xue Manlin and others gathered around, Bai Shuo mentioned to Xue Yanming that Xie Ning was probably working with La'an and even foreign forces, and had even done many things that harmed the interests of the Rural People's Association. Xue Manlin also confirmed it.

Bai Shuo said, he advised his father to beware of Xie Ning.

However, Xue Yanming's attitude surprised Bai Shuo. Xue Yanming was like the leaders. Not only did he not believe that Xie Ning would harm the Villagers Association, but he felt that Xie Ning was wholeheartedly helping the Villagers Association to tide over the difficulties and do good things for the villagers.

After everyone's constant persuasion, Xue Yanming actually left with some impatient excuses, leaving only one sentence in the end: "I believe Boss Xie and everyone must have had some misunderstandings before. The Rural People's Association has just been established. I hope everyone can unite as one in the future.

Do some practical and good things for the villagers. I am still very good at judging people. I know very well what kind of person Xie Ning is. From now on, no one will mention it again."

After Xue Yanming left, Manlin apologized to everyone in embarrassment on behalf of her father. Although no one knew what kind of magic power this Xie Ning had that made people here trust him so much, everyone knew that it was none of Manlin's business.

Just as everyone was sitting together again to enjoy the banquet, a slightly tipsy young man came over holding a wine glass.

"Oh, sister Manlin, we haven't seen you for a few days, Manlin, you are beautiful again."

Everyone took a look and found out that this person was none other than Zhou Huairen's son Zhou Qiang. Before Man Lin was under house arrest in Huai'an County and she threatened Xue Yanming, before she could settle the matter with him, this kid actually came to make people feel uncomfortable.

Manlin made it clear that she didn't have a good look on her face, no matter how Zhou Qiang said, she didn't want to talk to him.

Feeling embarrassed, Zhou Qiang turned to Bai Shuo and others and said: "Haha, bosses, I am Zhou Qiang and Zhou Huairen is my father. Thank you all for coming. Let me toast you all..."

Bai Shuo and others remained motionless. Cao An said cheerfully: "Zhou Qiang, this is not the first time we have met. You were very impressive last time in Xiantang Town..."

Zhou Qiang smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, I didn't know who the bosses were at that time, and we don't know each other since we didn't fight each other. From now on, we are all a family. I will treat you to dinner some other time to apologize for this matter."

After saying that, Zhou Qiang raised his wine glass, made a toast gesture to everyone, and then drank it. Bai Shuo didn't want to make things too awkward, so he didn't get up, and still sat upright, picked up the wine glass, and drank it lightly.

After a sip, Cao An and others saw Bai Shuo take a sip, and they all picked up their glasses, not looking directly at Zhou Qiang, and touched their lips, accepting Zhou Qiang's toast.

When Zhou Qiang saw that Man Lin still didn't speak and refused to drink, he actually took the initiative to explain: "Sister Man Lin is not still angry because of Huai'an. At that time, I had no choice but to do it reluctantly. I didn't really want to deal with her."

Uncle Xue and Sister Manlin are in trouble, and I hope you can forgive me..."

Seeing Zhou Qiang take the initiative to bring up this matter, Xue Manlin couldn't help but angrily said: "Hmph! Zhou Qiang, is it useful to talk about this now? If I hadn't been rescued, if your La'an conspiracy hadn't been shattered in the end, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have happened.

Do you know what it will be like?"

"Oh, sister Manlin, you really wronged me. It was all a misunderstanding before. I can't understand what they did, but my father has always asked me to endure it. Until the last moment, I can only pretend

I will obey orders, but I will never do anything to Sister Manlin no matter what..."

Man Lin said disdainfully: "Zhou Qiang, you know better if you misunderstood me. Don't think that your father turned his back on La'an and became the vice president, and now you can continue to be proud and arrogant..."

"Snapped……!"

Before Man Lin finished speaking, her face suddenly felt hot. Xue Yanming suddenly arrived and slapped Man Lin involuntarily.

"Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize to Nephew Zhou Xian quickly?" Xue Yanming said sternly.

Xue Manlin covered her face, with tears of grievance flashing in her eyes. She was stunned for a few seconds. She couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran out.

"Hey, this girl is getting more and more willful. Nephew Zhou Xian, don't take it to heart..." Seeing that Man Lin refused to apologize, Zhou Yanming ran away and comforted Zhou Qiang.

When Bai Shuo saw this, he found an opportunity to talk to Xue Yanming on the pretext of looking for comfort to Man Lin, and then left with Cao An and others.

In the hotel room, Bai Shuo found Xue Manlin with red eyes.

Under Bai Shuo's enlightenment, Man Lin once again opened her heart and told Bai Shuo many things she had experienced with her father when she was a child.

Man Lin told Bai Shuo that her father had rarely hit her since she was a child, but she didn't expect that this time he would do it because of a Zhou Qiang. And that Zhou Qiang had been very annoying since he was a child, always swarming around like a fly every time they met.

Manlin was glib and disgusting, and she also played a disgraceful role in this incident. This made Manlin feel even more aggrieved.

Bai Shuo thought for a while and comforted: "I don't know what means Xie Ning, Zhou Qiang and the others used to gain everyone's trust, and your father also turned a blind eye to what they did in the past. But your father is not

A person who doesn't know right from wrong, I wonder if there might be some hidden secret in this."

"Hmm...?" Manlin looked up at Bai Shuo, blinked and asked in surprise: "You mean, my dad has some last resort reasons?"

"Hmm... I can't tell, maybe. After all, the Rural People's Association has just been established, and your father also needs to take care of all aspects as the president."

"Well, it must be, my dad must have taken some care..." At this point, Manlin suddenly burst into tears and smiled, showing that healing smile again.

Seeing this iconic smile, Bai Shuo finally felt relieved.

After staying in Laliang Town for another two days, Bai Shuo basically reached a consensus with Xue Yanming and other major leaders. The next step will be to bring more investment projects to this area. Next, Bai Shuo will rush to Yongcheng again.

Discuss investment plans with relevant provincial government leaders.

This trip no longer needs to return to Huai'an County, but takes another road through La'an Town, heading northeast along the direction of the Bava Mountains. Before leaving, Bai Shuo looked back at Laliang Town again.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, I was shocked to learn that Huai'an had an unexpected incident and that it had only been half a month since I arrived at Laliang Town. But these days, I had experienced the test of life and death, and also had the joy of meeting old friends again, and even shocked Xiao Jimin.

Of course, he basically achieved the purpose of his trip. It can be said that the situation changed dramatically every day, making Bai Shuo feel like he was in another world.

The road was winding and winding in the mountains. The road conditions were not very smooth, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. Ana, who was sleeping on the pillow with a slight frown on her face, heard coughing sounds from time to time, which made Bai Shuo feel uneasy.

.Ever since Anna suffered some injuries in the mountains, she has still not recovered. When she returns to Shu, she must find a better hospital for a careful diagnosis.

"Fat man, drive more smoothly." Bai Shuo said to Cao An, and gently put a piece of clothing on Anna's body.

"Brother Shuo, the speed of the car is less than 40 yards now. There are many curves here, and the road surface has not been repaired for a long time. It would be strange if it is not bumpy." Cao An said helplessly.

"Okay, drive carefully and don't make too much noise."

Cao An stopped talking, stuck out his tongue at Zhong Pengcheng, who was laughing at the co-pilot, and muttered in a low voice: "Beauties have advantages, and I will never be treated like this if I get hurt."

While he was talking, Zhao Yong's car in front of him braked suddenly just after turning a corner. Cao An accidentally hit it and almost hit it.

The sudden braking caused Anna in the back seat to wake up and stand up instantly.

"Damn fat man, what's going on?" Bai Shuo said angrily.

Cao An turned around aggrievedly: "It was that guy Zhao Yong in front who braked suddenly at the corner. I don't know what happened."

At this time, Li Fei got off the car in front and told Bai Shuo that the road in front of the landslide was blocked by rockfalls on the mountain, and a construction vehicle was handling it. After inquiry, in addition to clearing the rockfalls, simple repairs to the road surface were also required.

It will take another two hours to open to traffic.

"Then why don't we just rest in the car for a while..."

Before Cao An finished speaking, Anna opened the car door and got out of the car. Bai Shuo and others also got out of the car.

"It's too boring in the car, I'll stay on the roadside for a while." Anna said to Bai Shuo who got out of the car.

"This is a wind outlet. Don't catch a cold again before you recover." Bai Shuo said with concern.

Anna shook her head, walked to the roadside, looked up at the surrounding mountains, and said no more.

At this time, Cao An seemed to have discovered something. He pointed to a mountain road and said, "Brother Shuo, there seems to be a temple up here. How about we go visit it?"

Bai Shuo followed what Cao An pointed and saw that along a mountain road more than one meter wide, winding up for about four to five hundred meters, there was an ancient and elegant building halfway up the mountain.

After careful observation, Bai Shuo said to Cao An angrily: "Visit your sister, what temple? It's a Taoist temple."
