The conversation with Yang Zhi didn't have any other content, so after the two chatted, they were ready to leave, but this time the release also let Zhen Fan see that Yang Zhi, a girl, is actually a smart person. As a mistress, she didn't attach all her life to a man, but she was also working hard, and she only regarded the mistress as a springboard to success, so although Zhen Fan's impression of her was not very good , but not bad. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with me, so if you can be kind, just be kind, everyone's life is not easy.

Zhen Fan ended the conversation and went home directly. In fact, he had some complaints about Hou Zhongjun directly arranging a mistress to come in, not because of anything else, it was originally an agreement between him and Feng Daran, Cheng Hu and Guo Xian. Now that Hou Zhongjun joined in, he couldn't just throw a mistress in.

Neither Feng Daran nor Cheng Hu gave Zhen Fan an explanation for this matter. Although Zhen Fan thought it was nothing, it didn't mean he didn't have his own opinion. Now seeing Yang Zhi, he felt that this woman might not be as bad as he thought, so he decided to forget about it.

When I first came home, the old lady downstairs was dancing, and an old man was among them. Zhen Fan greeted them, and then went upstairs. As soon as he sat down, he received a call. The call was from Hou Zhongjun. He didn't say anything to Zhen Fanduo at the press conference just now.

"Uh... there is something I have to tell you..." Hou Zhongjun's tone was full of apology, he paused for a while, and then he said, "I have hidden one thing from you, that is... the heroine's Question, this... I'm sorry I didn't tell you at the beginning, I'm a little worried that we're going to get this shitty because of this, you know what I'm going to say? Really, Mr. Zhen. My cooperation with us is Sincerely..."

Obviously, someone saw the conversation between Yang Zhi and Zhen Fan, and it quickly reached Hou Zhongjun's ears. For Zhen Fan, Hou Zhongjun absolutely cannot offend him. It is only wise to try to win over Zhen Fan to appease Zhen Fan as much as possible. After all, Zhen Fan is not simply entertaining people, and his political power is not something he can easily touch, not to mention that he has more financial resources than himself. But it's much stronger.

He makes this call. It is to test Zhen Fan's current attitude towards him, whether it is because of Yang Zhi's matter, what does he think of himself, if not, that's the best, if so, then he must quickly find a way to remedy it.

"It's okay, it's over, happy cooperation!" Zhen Fan didn't talk nonsense, since he chose to ignore it, then he wouldn't ask questions from his mother-in-law or anything. It wasn't interesting, so I said, "Mr. Hou, is there anything else?"

"No...it's gone, it's fine as long as it's over. It's a happy cooperation. We must be happy to cooperate this time!" Hou Zhongjun said happily, and then laughed,

"Then don't bother Mr. Zhen. I'll hang up now. Goodbye. Goodbye!" Then he hung up the phone, let out a long breath, and leaned on the sofa.

After Zhen Fan returned home, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon. So I decided to go to Xinglong County, Hebei to the north to see the Taoist Temple of Lingwu Mountain. The Taoist temple has been completed, but Zhen Fan hasn't gone to see it yet. So I took this opportunity to decide to visit Ning Xiangzi, the master of the Taoist temple.

So I drove there, a few hours' drive, when I arrived, it was already evening, and the sun was about to set. Fortunately, it was approaching summer and the daylight hours were relatively long, so Zhen Fan parked his car in the parking lot outside the Taoist temple. This is the county party secretary of Xinglong County, in order to make friends with Zhen Fan, he specially built a road that goes straight to Taoguan, and also built a huge parking lot outside. When Zhen Fan got out of the car and entered the Taoist temple, he saw green trees everywhere, and he really put a lot of effort into it.

It was the time for the Taoist dinner at this time, so Zhen Fan didn't disturb the people inside. And there are not many tourists at this time. There are no Taoist priests in the whole courtyard, and they are probably eating. So a person looked back and forth. The restoration is very good, and it is also very stylish. It is estimated that this Ning Xiangzi has put in a lot of effort. Also a trustworthy person.

After turning around, I went to the back yard. I thought it was okay, and was about to go back, but was seen by a little Taoist priest who came out of the courtyard of the Taoist living area, and came forward to ask questions. Zhen Fan smiled and said that he came to find the temple master, and he was an old acquaintance with the temple master. Let the little Taoist lead him there.

The little Taoist agreed, and led Zhen Fan to the backyard, where a group of Taoist priests were eating around several rectangular tables in the open air. It's more lively, chatting while eating. Zhen Fan didn't see Ning Xiangzi here, so the little Taoist priest continued to lead Zhen Fan into a meditation room next to him. Ning Xiangzi was inside, with a table for each person, and several dishes on the table.

When Ning Xiangzi saw Zhen Fan, he quickly got up to say hello, and after Zhen Fan returned the salute that the Taoist priest had done before, the little Taoist priest hurried out. Since it is an old acquaintance of the temple master, there is no need to stay there. When the little Taoist priest left, Ning Xiangzi hurriedly bowed to Zhen Fan and said, "Thanks to you, please sit down and I'll make you tea!"

Zhen Fan looked at Ning Xiangzi's dining table. The dishes on it were all fashionable vegetables. There was no meat, and life seemed to be relatively poor. He couldn't help frowning: "Why are there only side dishes? Don't eat meat? Our Taoists don't have any. The emphasis of Buddhism, although some teachings have been changed and changed later, are just set by people in order to exercise their willpower and restrain the desires of the world. Now it is out of date and there is no need to abide by it. The problem."

Ning Xiangzi hurriedly said: "I have always had this habit before, and I have persisted. It's okay. Eating more vegetables and less meat is also good for the body. I don't eat meat at all. I also know that without meat, the body is weak." It’s amazing. It’s just that I eat less, and I can’t help but drink and eat the outside ones. If I want to eat, I can eat.”

Zhen Fan nodded and looked around the room. Except for the wider dining area, the rest is a bed, a table, a bookcase, and a wardrobe. They are all made of tung oil. The old-fashioned cabinets, the big, heavy ones, are not pretty. It seems to be passed down from the Taoist temple.

"It's too simple!" Zhen Fan shook his head and said with a smile to Ning Xiangzi, "You are a Taoist priest, and I am also a Taoist priest. I live a much happier life than you. Even if you don't compare with me, just compare with me." Qingyu Zibi, my apprentice in the capital city, you have lived a few poor lives. Although it is good for your practice, you can't be too simple. Although this can restrain desire, it also puts your own kind of casual The Dao heart of sexual behavior is almost restrained, so why do you talk about cultivating Dao?"

"You taught me the lesson. I will change it slowly in the future. Besides... You have been supporting this Taoism... I am also afraid of enjoying the blessings. If there is another difficult time in the future, I will not be able to bear it now. It’s been such a clean day, so I have other plans, but... I still have to thank you, otherwise this Taoist temple would not be what it is today.” Ning Xiangzi naturally respected Zhen Fan as a God of Wealth.

Even if he is not good at dealing with people, no matter how honest and honest, it will not delay him from saying a few words of sincere gratitude to Zhen Fan. Now that the Taoist temple has been renovated with Zhen Fan's investment, the various environments are very comfortable, and it looks more magnificent than before, and the scale has also increased a lot. People from the county often come to build roads for Taoist temples, and they continue to promote it. So in the past two years, this Taoist temple has become a scene in Xinglong County. Many tourists who come to Lingwu Mountain will turn to the Taoist temple to visit, make wishes, burn incense and so on.

And Taoist temples also have an unwritten rule, that is, they do not charge tickets, do not buy or sell incense and souvenirs, and only charge the cost of incense, two or three yuan, four or five yuan of incense will do. Unlike those Taoist temples in tourist attractions, you have to buy a stick of incense for twenty or thirty yuan. After three sticks of incense, the little hundred yuan can be settled. Because of this, some tourists are also willing to come, not because they are reluctant to pay that little money, but because they are comfortable, no one comes to sell anything, and no one sells high-priced things. Moreover, the Taoist priests here are all dressed in refreshing Taoist robes, and the temple master also looks a bit fairy-like. Sometimes fortune-telling and physiognomy can be helpful. So it was spread from ten to ten, and it was a bit like a famous person.

Ning Xiangzi introduced the situation to Zhen Fan, and Zhen Fan nodded repeatedly, seeing that he hadn't eaten dinner, he smiled and said, "I'm hungry too, please ask someone to prepare the bowls and chopsticks for me, I'll eat with you here , let's chat while eating!"

Ning Xiangzi hurriedly confessed and said what he dared to do. But Zhen Fan couldn't hold back, as long as someone fetched the bowls and chopsticks, some rice was brought in the wooden rice bucket. The two of them ate with three green vegetables on a table. While eating and chatting, it turns out that Ning Xiangzi also learned some things like Zhouyi, fortune-telling, and divination. This has made the Taoist temple famous, but it is only because it is only a capital operation, and there are few people in the Taoist temple. He is unwilling to ask Zhen Fan for money, so life is a bit tight.

Of course, Zhen Fan could see these too. With the fame of the Taoist temple, naturally more people came to the Taoist temple to be Taoist priests. There were only three or four people in the past, but now there are sixteen people including cooks and handymen. In order to maintain expenses, I also took on some work in the dojo from nearby people, but I couldn't make much money, so it was really difficult to maintain expenses.

"I will set up a special account for you. You will control the money yourself. You will spend the expenses in the future. Otherwise, although these people come in, you may not be able to keep them. You will not be able to make ends meet, and your life will inevitably be poor. People nowadays can't stand I live here, so I don't think you should refuse."

"Then thank you very much!" Ning Xiangzi was not polite to Zhen Fan, even if he refused, it was useless, he owed a big favor, and still cared about this small favor? So he immediately expressed his gratitude to Zhen Fan.

"You don't need to thank me, anyway, you can insist on not profiting from this, which is right, and you can always stick to your heart, so it's right, so no matter what, you continue to do it here, and I will come to see it often. "Zhen Fan said. (To be continued.)
