After returning to Xie Dong's residence, Wang Xingting and Jia Honglue sat down and left.

Zhuang Zekun stood in the study and looked at where Xie Dongchang was sitting. He said, "I always feel that the teacher is still there."

Guan Qingtong and the other five people stood behind Zhuang Zekun, all silent.

After a moment, Zhuang Zekun sighed. He turned around and looked at Guan Nuo, "The teacher has been talking about you. I originally planned to bring you to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year with the teacher. Who knew..." He shook his head.

, his face became more serious, and he said: "Xiao Nuo, your Aunt Wu and Uncle Zhu will stay in Yanjing this time. In the future, the cooperation with the research institute will be left to you. If something cannot be solved...

Just ask your mother more."

"I, I will work hard," Guan Nuo said.

Zhuang Zekun pondered for a moment and said, "Director Wang introduced two people who wanted to enter the Special Branch."

Zhuang Zekun repeated what Wang Xingting said in the car, and then said: "Director Wang is kind to us. He has spoken, and I can't refuse."

"Are those two people studying in Tangjiang?" Guan Qingtong asked.

"One is in Tangjiang and the other is in Jinkang." Su Wangshu glanced at Zhuang Zekun and said, "Jia Hong just sent the information."

Zhuang Zekun nodded, and said to Guan Nuo: "These two people are for you."

Guan Nuo asked: "Are they from the institute?"

"That's right. I know you are a little dissatisfied with the research institute now." Zhuang Zekun paused for a moment and took a few steps left and right. "In the future, the research institute will also be led by young people. Jia Hong is less than forty and Ji Xiaozhen's apprentice."

, they seem to be not much older than you," he stopped. "You don't have to be afraid of them. If you think what they do is inappropriate, just propose it or reject it. Don't be afraid if anything happens. Young people will always do it.

The one who made the mistake was that we and the research institute didn’t like each other at the beginning, but later we cooperated more and became familiar with each other, so things got better.”

Guan Nuo said: "I understand."

"How is Xiao Tang doing lately?" Zhuang Zekun asked.

"What?" Guan Nuo was a little confused.

"Did you meet her when you were practicing in my apartment?"

Guan Nuo replied: "I met her once, but then she stopped coming. Maybe she thought I disturbed her."

"That's it."

"But she gave me a lot of pointers, saying that I should be more practical and let me compete with the talented ones."

Zhuang Zekun nodded, "Then you should ask her for more advice. She is practicing at a high level, and her talent is extremely high even on the mountain."

"I will." Guan Nuo said.

"well……"

The doorbell rings.

Su Wangshu walked quickly to the door and opened it. When he saw the person coming, he was slightly startled, then stepped aside and said: "Secretary-General Ying, you..."

"I'm here to see off Teacher Xie." Ying Jianye said and walked into the living room.

Zhuang Zekun led the rest of the people out of the study.

Ying Jianye kowtowed and offered incense. After standing up, he looked at Xie Dong in the photo and said: "After I heard the news, I rushed back, but I didn't expect it was a step too late."

Zhuang Zekun said: "You are determined."

Wu Yulan brought tea.

Ying Jianye sat down and said: "I just talked with Teacher Xie last month. He was very happy at that time and said that in a few years, we can start to implement some regulations on a trial basis. He told me a lot of ideas, but he didn't

think……"

Zhuang Zekun's voice was choked up, "The teacher has been discussing this with me, and he has even written a first version."

"Has he already written it?"

"Yeah, let me show it to you."

Zhuang Zekun took Ying Jianye into the study room.

After Zhuang Zekun detoured to the desk, he opened the drawer and took out a notebook. After flipping through a few pages, a piece of paper fell from the notebook. He bent down and picked it up.

There are two lines of words written on the piece of paper. The first line is a name, Meng Yuanbai. The second line is a place name, Luo County. It is Xie Dong's handwriting.

Zhuang Zekun stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket, walked up to Ying Jianye with the notebook in his hand, and said, "I just ordered these items."

Ying Jianye took the opened book and looked down at it carefully.

After a long time, he closed the notebook and handed it back to Zhuang Zekun. He said: "Zekun, I will rely on you from now on."

Zhuang Zekun took the notebook back and said, "I know."

Ying Jianye, Zhuang Zekun and others chatted for more than 20 minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.

Guan Qingtong saw something wrong with Zhuang Zekun's expression, and she asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Zhuang Zekun said: "That night, I mentioned the matter of Meng Yuanbai to the teacher. The teacher said that he might be Taoist Yuanbai and had participated in the disaster thirty years ago."

Zhuang Zekun handed the piece of paper to Guan Qingtong, "The teacher may have found something later, but he didn't have time to tell me yet."

Guan Qingtong looked at the handwriting on the piece of paper and said, "Let me check."

Zhuang Zekun whispered: "Okay."

…

Bug house.

After Zhaocai was taken away by Tang Butian, Jiang You felt that Chiujiu was a little lonely. So he got up early one day, tricked Chiujiu into the birdcage, and took him for a walk to the park.

He met Zhao Lijun who was also walking the birds. He said hello: "Mr. Zhao, are you here to walk the birds again?"

Zhao Lijun saw the coal tit in the cage and asked: "This coal tit is not the one last time, right? It seems to be smaller?"

Jiang Youyou said: "I just raised this one. It's very energetic, right?"

Jiujiu jumped twice in the cage.

"Where's the spirit?"

"Hey, your canary's fur seems to be redder than last time. What kind of bird food are you feeding?"

Zhao Lijun was very modest. He said: "It's just ordinary mixed grains, millet, millet..."

After each other praised each other's queen, Zhao Lijun asked: "Why haven't you come to exercise recently? And where is your fitness coach?"

Jiang You pointed to his knee, "The meniscus was damaged. I spent a few days recovering at home. I feel better today, so I went out for a walk."

Zhao Lijun suddenly realized: "No wonder you don't play chess anymore. You need to take good care of your knees, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when you get old."

"I think so too. I'll check again in a few days and see how it goes. Is Mr. Xu still hanging out in the teahouse every day recently?"

"Pao! Then tell us about his daughter and son-in-law."

"Married?"

"I think it's soon."

"Then I'll go find him later."

After chatting for a while, Jiang You carried the birdcage and walked to the lake after they separated. After walking half a circle around the lake, he felt a little tired, so he sat down on a bench by the lake.

Put down the birdcage and fold your hands behind your head.

The sun gradually rose and the lake surface was sparkling. After feeling a little hot, Jiang You was about to stand up when he saw a monk wearing ginger robes walking towards him not far away.
