Chapter 449 Secret Talk

"Mayor Chen's phone number?" Li Youqian asked with a look of surprise. He had never thought that Shen Junyi would call him.

"Well, hurry up, I'm still waiting." Lin Muran urged.

"Here you." Li Youqian did not dare to be negligent. After leaving a word with Chen Meng, he immediately ran back to the car.

"Hey, Mayor Chen, I'm Li Youqian."

"Have you had money, have you eaten?" Shen Junyi asked kindly. He thought it was an elder who called me just by listening to the voice.

"No, I'm going to eat now." Li Youqian replied truthfully.

"I didn't eat either. If you have time, come here to have a meal together and I'll cook." Shen Junyi smiled.

"Ah? Invite me to dinner?" Li Youqian was immediately flattered. It was the first time for him to invite a meal to the mayor.

"Why? Don't want to?" Shen Junyi asked back.

"I'm willing, I'm willing." Don't say that Shen Junyi is a good person, just because he can't refute his face as the mayor, otherwise he won't want to stay in Nanyang City in the future.

"Okay, then you come here. I'll wait for you at Tingxuange Teahouse 202." Shen Junyi didn't say much and hung up the phone soon.

Li Youqian told him about Shen Junyi's invitation to dinner. Lin Muran and the others were also quite strange. On the one hand, the status of the two were too different, and they could be said to be not in the same class at all. On the other hand, as the mayor of Nanyang City, Shen Junyi rarely took the initiative to invite others in order to avoid others being scattered. Unless there are some necessary banquets, he rarely accepted private invitations from others. Therefore, in the entire Nanyang City, Shen Junyi was quite loved and was a fair and honest mayor.

Lin Muran's father Lin Geng and Shen Junyi are old friends for decades, so they occasionally get together to chat, but he and others won't do this. Strictly speaking, Li Youqian is just a passerby in his life. The two of them have no friendship at all. It is indeed a bit unexpected that Shen Junyi can entertain him.

"What do you mean when Mayor Chen invites me to dinner?" Li Youqian couldn't help asking Lin Muran.

"How could I know, I'm not the worm in Uncle Chen's belly." Lin Muran blanched at Li Youqian, "But since Uncle Chen asked you to go over, you can go over, so many people can't get this opportunity."

"Then... OK, I'll go over and take a look." Li Youqian pondered for a moment.

"What's your tone? Uncle Chen just invited you to a meal, not asking you to go to the Hongmen Banquet. Don't worry, Uncle Chen won't eat yours." Lin Muran smiled and said, "Hait for the seat belt, I'm going to drive, so I can't let Uncle Chen wait for us."

Lin Muran drove the car and arrived at Tingxuan Pavilion for more than ten minutes. The teahouse was not in the city center. It could be seen that the business was a bit deserted, and there were only a few parking spaces in front of the door that were not fully parked.

"I'm rich, Uncle Chen didn't say on the phone just now, did you?" Lin Muran said again after getting out of the car.

"No, he just said to treat me to a meal." Li Youqian recalled.

"Then you go there alone. Xiaohan and I will go to the restaurant opposite to have dinner. We are still waiting for you after dinner." Lin Muran said, pulling Jiang Han up and walking towards the meal place across the road.

"Wait, can't we go together? What if Mayor Chen forgot to mention you?" Li Youqian hurriedly called Lin Muran and said.

"No need, Uncle Chen, I understand him. He is meticulous. He calls me to notify you. He can't forget me, so he meant to only invite you. Go quickly. I guess he wants to tell you something." Lin Muran waved his hand, then crossed the street with Jiang Han.

Seeing this, Li Youqian no longer hesitated and entered Tingxuan Pavilion. A waitress with a pretty signature came over. When she heard that Li Youqian had an appointment here, she took him to the private room on the second floor.

"Dang! Dang!" Standing at the door, Li Youqian did not break in, but knocked on the door in advance.

"You are rich, right? Come in." Although Shen Junyi was in an inquiring tone, Li Youqian felt that he should have confirmed his identity.

Li Youqian pushed the door open now, and the elegant room was decorated in a quiet and elegant manner. A faint agarwood kept wafting out from an incense burner on the table, and the room was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Shen Junyi was sitting alone next to the table, slowly savoring the fragrant tea.

"Hello Mayor Chen." Li Youqian quickly bowed and bowed. This was a big shot, and he could take this gift from him.

"Don't be nervous if you are rich. There are no outsiders. Just call me Uncle Chen." Shen Junyi smiled, then pointed to the chair next to him, "Come on, sit down quickly."

"Okay." Although Shen Junyi's tone was kind, Li Youqian's side was still a little restrained.

After sitting on the chair, before Li Youqian came to his senses, Shen Junyi had already picked up the teapot next to him and brewed a cup for Li Youqian, "Try it, this tea is a feature of Tingxuange. When I have time, I often come here to sit here. There are few people and the environment is good, which can especially relieve the feeling of depression.

"Thank you, Mayor Chen."

"It's uncle."

"Oh, thank you Uncle Chen." Li Youqian thanked him, picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in the small teacup inside in one gulp.

"Young people are so impetuous. This tea is used to taste it slowly. Drinking it like this is a waste of resources." Shen Junyi chuckled and looked at Li Youqian with a playful look on his face.

Li Youqian sat there a little awkwardly, and he didn't know how to answer Shen Junyi's words.

Because of family reasons, Li Youqian has never tasted tea. Even if he bought tea at home, he would still be the type that costs 10 or 20 yuan a pack. After soaking, he would drink it directly. Anyway, in Li Youqian's concept, tea may be a little better than ordinary boiled water.

Although I have occasionally learned some information from the Internet in the past two years, saying that tea contains trace elements such as tea alkali, which is beneficial to the human body, for him, it is just that.

Shen Junyi glanced at him, and Li Youqian then poured a cup of tea into Li Youqian's cup.

"This time, you can taste it slowly, and after you finish it, tell me how you feel."

Li Youqian picked up the teacup and took a sip. He did not rush to swallow it. Instead, he let the tea go around in his mouth before swallowing it. After pondering for a moment, he said, "It's a bit bitter and a little astringent, but it's sweet in the end."

"Drink it completely, I'll pour you another cup for you and try." Shen Junyi's face still had a faint smile. While speaking, Li Youqian drank all the tea in the tea cup, leaving the tea leaves in it.

Then Shen Junyi picked up Li Youqian's tea cup and brewed a second cup of tea.

Li Youqian didn't understand Shen Junyi's intention. In his opinion, there should be no difference between the same cup and the same water, but according to Shen Junyi's intention, he picked up the teacup and took another sip.

“How does it taste?”

"Hmm? The bitterness seems to be a little lighter than just now, and it has an extra mellow smell." Li Youqian said after savoring it carefully.

Shen Junyi smiled and pointed to the teacup, "Good tea needs to be tasted slowly. Toutao tea and even the second tea will have such a hint of bitterness, but the later you get, the more you can feel its mellowness. Therefore, the old people often say that people who are impatient cannot drink good tea."

"Look, the tea leaves in this life are ups and downs at the beginning, and it is like a floating and downs life, and it will eventually sink to the bottom of the cup."

Li Youqian frowned slightly. Although Shen Junyi's words sounded very simple, they contained very profound truths. Li Youqian was smart and couldn't help but fall into thought. In a flash, he suddenly understood many truths.

"I am rich, I know everything about you. It's very good. I have the ability and ability. I also know how to give back to the countryside and benefit the society. I have not insulted the title of young model. What kind of comfort is this?" Shen Junyi continued to laugh and praise.

"Uncle Chen is so sad, I'm just lucky." Li Youqian said humbly. His achievements are indeed qualified to be complacent in front of others, but there is nothing worth boasting about in Shen Junyi.

"Although this is related to luck, the most important thing is to look at a person's ability. Gold will always shine. If it is mud, no matter how much effort you spend, you can't support the wall." Shen Junyi shook his head and said.

"I have money, I told you just now. I wonder how much you can understand?" As soon as the topic was changed, Shen Junyi pulled the topic back again.

"Uncle Chen, what you mean should be to calm down and do things, to avoid being arrogant and impatient, and not be too fond of merit, right?" Li Youqian asked tentatively. He didn't understand tea, but Shen Junyi's words just now benefited him a lot.

"Haha, how much I understand, it depends on your understanding. If you understand some things, you understand them. Even if I don't understand, you still don't understand." Shen Junyi laughed and asked in some irresponsible questions, but he had a little more appreciation for Li Youqian in his heart. This young man is worthy of his training.

Li Youqian was silent and did not take on this sentence. As for Shen Junyi, he also picked up the tea cup in his hand and slowly tasted the tea in it.

"I have money, I want to ask you something. I wonder if you intend to take the path of officialdom?" After a moment of silence, Shen Junyi suddenly asked.

"What do you mean is to let me be an official? I'm afraid I can't do it?" Li Youqian was stunned when he heard this. On the way he came, Li Youqian thought a lot, and was wondering what Shen Junyi was looking for him for, but he didn't expect that Shen Junyi actually wanted him to abandon business and go to politics!

"Don't deny yourself so quickly. I have been in the officialdom for decades, and there is no other thing, but I still have a bit of a look at people. If you train me well, you will definitely benefit the people." Shen Junyi laughed and said, "You don't have to answer me so quickly. You can go back and think slowly. When you figure it out, you can tell me at any time. I will ask you to come this time. In fact, I still have another very important thing to discuss with you."
