With a headache from all the thinking, Xie Wendong knocked on his head and decided to stop. He would just take things one step at a time and adapt to the situation as it came! Now he should go and pay a visit to the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the top leader in the province.
With that thought in mind, Xie Wendong picked up the phone again and called Jiang Sen. "Old Jiang, help me get in touch with the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. I want to meet him!"
"Brother Dong, when? Right now?"
"Yes, contact him and see when he's available. The sooner, the better!" "Okay, Brother Dong. Wait for my news. I'll go to find him right away!"
"En, good!" Xie Wendong hung up the phone and strolled on the playground, secretly hoping that this secretary wouldn't let him down.
"Xie Wendong!" Xie Wendong was walking with his head down, lost in thought on the playground, when he suddenly heard someone call his name. He turned his head and saw that it was the girl who had chatted with him in the disco that day. Her name should be Huang Lei, and she was walking towards him with a thermos flask in her hand.
Xie Wendong smiled and nodded, "Hello, Classmate Huang Lei!"
Huang Lei came closer and said, "Hehe, Xie Wendong, I didn't expect you to be so polite! I thought that people who had learned martial arts should all be straightforward and bold in character!"
Xie Wendong was no longer the young man who would blush when teased by girls a few years ago. He said tactfully, "I'm a straightforward and bold person, but I also know how to be polite!"
Under Xie Wendong's gaze, Huang Lei blushed a little, her eyes flustered. She lowered her head and asked, "Xie Wendong, how long have you been learning Tai Chi? Is it hard to practice? I hope you can teach me when you have time." Seeing Xie Wendong's smiling gaze, Huang Lei quickly explained, "Don't... don't get me wrong. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to learn it for self-defense after I master it!"
"Hehe, I didn't say I misunderstood you!" Xie Wendong smiled and looked at Huang Lei, thinking that this girl was quite interesting. And upon hearing Xie Wendong's words, Huang Lei lowered her head even more and said in a low voice, "Can you teach me?"
Xie Wendong smiled and said, "Learning Tai Chi is very hard. It requires perseverance!" Xie Wendong wasn't joking. Practicing Tai Chi needed a great deal of perseverance. If one was too hasty, they couldn't learn it at all. Without a foundation, those who only learned for a month or two wouldn't see any results. There were very few girls who could persevere in learning Tai Chi.
Huang Lei said firmly, "Don't worry. I will definitely be able to hold on!" Then she changed the subject and said, "Have you had lunch?"
Seeing Xie Wendong shake his head, Huang Lei's face turned rosy, and she said happily, "Well, wait for me to take the thermos flask back to the dormitory, and then we can go have a meal together!"
Looking at Huang Lei's smiling face, Xie Wendong was shocked in his heart and secretly thought that it was going to be troublesome. He quickly said, "Sorry, I still have something to do later. I must leave the school now. Let's talk about it next time when there's an opportunity!" Xie Wendong could tell that Huang Lei seemed to have feelings for him. But the Gao sisters already made him feel very 为难. If he got involved with a third woman... He didn't dare to think about the consequences. Anyway, it would definitely be very miserable!
Huang Lei nodded in disappointment and then asked reluctantly, "Then will you have time in the evening?"
"Oh..." Seeing the look of expectation on Huang Lei's face, Xie Wendong couldn't bear to refuse and hesitated.
Huang Lei didn't give him time to think it over. She smiled and said, "Well, it's a deal then. I'll..." Before she could finish, Huang Lei stopped. Because she saw a beautiful and cute girl standing under a big tree not far behind Xie Wendong. It was the girl who had called Xie Wendong out of the classroom last time.
Although she had already guessed that Xie Wendong's relationship with her might be special, she still looked over with a challenging gaze and said loudly, "It's a deal then. I'll come to find you in the evening!" After saying that, Huang Lei turned and left, snorting as she passed by the girl.
That girl was Wen Zi, the new bodyguard that Jiang Sen had found for Xie Wendong. Hearing Huang Lei's snort, Wen Zi just kept smiling.
Only then did Xie Wendong notice Wen Zi's presence. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, wondering how she knew he was here. Wen Zi smiled naively when she saw Xie Wendong looking at her.
Under her innocent and lovely appearance lay a cold heart! Maybe others couldn't see it, but Xie Wendong could see through Wen Zi's true nature at a glance. He nodded and smiled at her. Under Xie Wendong's penetrating gaze, Wen Zi's smile slowly faded, and she was secretly startled.
Xie Wendong strolled out of the school, thinking about things while waiting for Jiang Sen's call. Wen Zi followed closely behind him, not straying more than a short distance.
Finally, when it was almost one o'clock, Jiang Sen called.
"Brother Dong, it's all arranged! At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Zhongwen (the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee) will be having a meeting at the 'Shangri-La' (a very famous place in H City, a five-star hotel). He said he can spare some time to meet you then!"
"En, good!" Xie Wendong was filled with anticipation. Meeting the highest leader of a province in the evening was really exciting. Jiang Sen continued, "Brother Dong, I'll come to pick you up at half past five in the evening. Just wait for me at the main gate of H University! Also, Brother Dong, it's very inconvenient for us to move around now. Should we get two cars here?"
Xie Wendong said, "En, I'll wait for you at the main gate then. As for the cars, you can decide what to do. If you need money, ask Brother Zhang to transfer it over."
"Okay, Brother Dong!" Xie Wendong put down the phone and was in a good mood. Seeing Wen Zi standing more than ten meters away from him, he waved to her. "You've been in H City for quite some time. Have you ever been to a shopping mall?"
Wen Zi was taken aback when she heard this and shook her head blankly, not understanding what Xie Wendong meant.
"Hehe, come on. Let's go for a stroll in the shopping mall. You can't keep wearing the same clothes all the time!" Xie Wendong pulled Wen Zi towards the shopping mall opposite the school. The latter blushed and silently let herself be pulled by Xie Wendong. Seeing that he wasn't pretending, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
At twenty past five in the evening, Xie Wendong put on the suit that Wen Zi had helped him pick out in the afternoon. After all, he was going to meet the top leader of the province, so he needed to dress appropriately. The suit was in a very trendy style, slightly form-fitting, making Xie Wendong look much taller.
When the brothers in the dormitory saw him, they smiled and asked if he was going out to meet his girlfriend. To avoid trouble, Xie Wendong simply said, "You're right!" After saying that, he walked out of the dormitory. Wen Zi had been waiting for him downstairs without him knowing when. And she had also carefully dressed up. She had put on a light makeup, was wearing a snow-white dress, and the black ankle boots gave her a mysterious air. This made Xie Wendong feel amazed.
The two smiled at each other and walked side by side towards the main gate of the school.
Jiang Sen had been waiting at the gate with two other people for a long time. When he saw Xie Wendong come out, he immediately greeted him. Everyone took a taxi to the Shangri-La.
The interior was indeed luxuriously decorated. There was a red carpet on the floor, the walls glistened with gold, and more than a dozen luxurious chandeliers illuminated the hall as bright as day. When Xie Wendong came in, he felt the same as when he first went to Gao Zhen's house. The grandeur was astonishing.
Jiang Sen went to the reception desk and booked a luxurious guest room on the fifth floor. Then he handed the key to Xie Wendong and said, "Brother Dong, you go up first. I'll go find Chen Zhongwen!"
Xie Wendong nodded and led Wen Zi and two of his subordinates to the fifth floor. After entering the guest room, the decoration inside surprised Xie Wendong again. He asked the subordinate behind him, "How much does a room like this cost per day?"
One person replied respectfully, "Probably between one thousand and two thousand yuan! Since it's not the peak tourist season now, it's considered quite cheap. Leaders from various cities who come to the province to report on their work usually stay here."
Xie Wendong secretly shook his head. One thousand to two thousand yuan? That was enough for his father's monthly salary! But officials regarded staying here as a common thing. It was really a case of "the mansions of the rich reek of meat and wine while the poor starve in the streets"!
Xie Wendong sat on the sofa and waited for nearly half an hour before Jiang Sen led Chen Zhongwen, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, in. Xie Wendong sat on the sofa and sized up the middle-aged man in his fifties who entered the room. He had black hair, was slightly balding, and wore black-rimmed glasses, making him look a bit staid. But the small eyes behind the lenses occasionally revealed a shrewd glint. Xie Wendong felt that the other party was definitely an old fox.
While Xie Wendong was sizing up Chen Zhongwen, Chen Zhongwen was also sizing him up. There was a hint of surprise on his face, which was probably the collective expression of all those who didn't know Xie Wendong when they first saw him.
One sitting and one standing, the two main characters in the room didn't say anything. An invisible pressure formed between their eyes. Both sides seemed to be waiting, waiting for the other party to lose their composure first, to let the other party know that they were the ones in control of the rhythm. The intense atmosphere made the other four people in the room almost unable to breathe.
Jiang Sen broke out in a few beads of sweat on his nose and thought to himself that this couldn't go on like this! He smiled at Chen Zhongwen and said, "Secretary Chen, don't stand there. Please have a seat!" As he spoke, he bent over and extended his hand towards Chen Zhongwen, making a "please" gesture.
Chen Zhongwen let out a long breath, surprised by the young man's confidence. The imposing manner he displayed was actually so strong. It was no different from when he met leaders from the central government. With that thought in mind, he smiled slightly at Jiang Sen beside him and said, "We're old acquaintances. Don't be so polite!" He walked towards the sofa beside Xie Wendong.
Seeing Chen Zhongwen coming over, Xie Wendong finally stood up and extended his hand, saying, "Secretary Chen, I'm sorry for not greeting you from afar. I hope you won't blame me!"
Chen Zhongwen looked at Xie Wendong's hand and said with a hidden meaning, "You're too polite. Who are you...?"
"Xie Wendong!" Xie Wendong sneered in his heart. "Secretary Chen must meet so many people every day. How could you possibly remember a small fry like me?"
Hearing Xie Wendong's words that were both soft and pointed, Jiang Sen shuddered. Chen Zhongwen's face changed, but he quickly grasped Xie Wendong's hand and smiled, "Hehe, so you're Xie Wendong. I've often heard Little Jiang mention you. Only when I meet you today do I realize that Wendong is so young! A young hero, a young hero indeed! Haha!"
Xie Wendong released his hand and sat side by side with Chen Zhongwen on the sofa. "Secretary Chen, have you been very busy with work recently?" "It's not too bad..."
The two first chatted about some polite and general topics. Chen Zhongwen was the first to get to the point and asked, "Wendong, I wonder what's the matter that made you ask Little Jiang to find me this time?"
