Chapter 548

Alice takes Meng Huo to find Xu Jing. Of course, what she says is that Zhongxia company has changed its owner.

Meng Huo didn't have much contact with Ding Yanghua, the former president of Zhongxia company before, so he naturally didn't have much feeling about it. Dong Ding, the new president, seemed to be a great person, but he didn't have any actual contact, and Meng Huo didn't have much real feeling.

As a result, what Xu Jing told him didn't have much impact on him. That morning, he passed in the chat. Two days later, after enough rest, Meng Huo and Alice set foot on the high-speed railway to Qingcheng. Of course, Li Qin was also there. She went home to visit her relatives and comforted the people in Lijia village.

Meng Huo still won't go back to his mother-in-law's home when he returns to Qingcheng this time. In fact, he has spare time now. However, he doesn't want to go back at all at the thought of the trouble he will cause after going back.

"Will you be back in the afternoon?" Sitting on the high-speed railway, Li Qin asked, "will you go to Shen Jie's house?"

"No, she's more busy than me this year. I'll go there again. It's estimated that her pressure will be greater." Meng Huo smiles. Shen Jie has become a celebrity in Qingcheng, and he has been exposed to reporters' interviews years later. If he visits now, it will bring more disputes to Shen Jie's family.

"Besides, Shen Jie will also attend the ribbon cutting ceremony. It's not that we can't meet each other. It's OK not to go to her house." Shen Jie has told Meng Huo about the government's invitation. She will perform in today's ribbon cutting activities and attend the lunch with Meng Huo at noon. Therefore, Meng Huo thinks it's the same whether she goes to her home or not.

Of course, Li Qin didn't mean that. She wanted Meng Huo to meet Shen Jie's parents. But looking at Alice sitting on the other side, Li Qin still didn't speak out.

"What did the child think, why did she still take Alice with her..." Li Qin felt that it was not right. She really couldn't understand her son's idea. If you've chosen Shen Jie, you'd better leave Alice aside. Now you can't make it clear.

But she has to admit that Alice is a very capable helper, Meng Huo's work can not be without her.

"Alas..." Li Qin sighed slightly, and her heart was very complicated.

However, Meng Huo didn't pay attention to her thoughts. His eyes were attracted by a Book Alice was reading. The title of this book is very long, and all of them add up to "the overlord of modern novels - Dong Ding and his Longteng"

"That's Dong Ding's book?" Meng Huo asked.

"Yes." Alice looked up and said, "this book is very interesting. It tells about the process from the birth of Longteng to its dominance in the field of fiction, and the role played by Dong Ding. Would you like to have a look at it?"

She handed the book to Meng Huo, but Meng Huo shook his head: "not for the time being. I don't have enough time. I'll have a chance to read it again."

After several hours of driving, the high-speed railway is now close to Qingcheng county. Less than 20 minutes after Meng Huo said this, the high-speed railway stopped. Li Qin said goodbye to them first, then Meng Huo and Alice boarded the car sent by the county government and rushed to the venue of the ribbon cutting ceremony.

"How do you feel about Qingcheng?"

On the way, Meng Huo asked.

"... all right." Alice thought for a long time, and then gave this answer. Qingcheng county is not outstanding among many counties in China. Its history is not long, its economy is average, and it has no mineral resources. Even there is no scenery worth visiting. It's a compliment to say that it's OK.

Meng Huo wry smile: "you don't have to be so euphemistic." He saw that Alice didn't have much interest in Qingcheng. If it were him, he wouldn't have much interest in such an ordinary strange city.

"But here's one thing I like very much." Said Alice again.

"What is it?" Meng Huo looked at her curiously, and then aimed at Alice's eyes.

She looked at him straightly, with a flame in her eyes, and did not speak. She looked at him straightly, as if she were saying that the thing was

"Be quiet." Just when Meng Huo seemed to get the answer, Alice turned her head again, breathed a breath and said, "I like the quietness here. Qingcheng is not as noisy and lively as Ninghai. There are not many people in the street... This kind of quietness is very good, but I may not be able to stand it after staying for a long time..."

"Because you grew up in Ninghai!"

Meng Huo laughed. What she wanted to see just now disappeared. Alice said that people who have been living in a prosperous city for many years often like the quietness of Qingcheng. But the imagination is beautiful. If they are allowed to stay in a small city like Qingcheng for a few months, they will soon be unable to bear it.

"There's no place for you to play in Qingcheng, even the clothes don't have the brand you want. It's strange that you can stay here.""And you? Can you stay now? "

"I can." Meng Huo nodded without hesitation. Although he had left Qingcheng for many years, some of his pursuits had not changed. Usually, he doesn't like to go out to play, and he doesn't pay special attention to food and drink. He can wear whatever he can. He feels that he can adapt to wherever he is.

"Will you go back to Qingcheng one day?" Alice turned her head and asked, "if you stop working one day, do you want to go back to green city?"

Meng Huo asked him this question before, but his answer remained unchanged - "No."

"Why?" Alice said strangely, "I think you should be very homesick..."

Chinese people pay attention to returning to their roots. Because of the traditional culture and education, everyone has a nostalgic attachment to his hometown when he was a child, especially Meng Huo. In Alice's opinion, Meng Huo, who is extremely fond of his mother, should also have a strong feeling for his hometown in essence, But that doesn't seem to be the case

In fact, the reason is very simple - Meng Huo's hometown in his memory is not Qingcheng here. His hometown in his memory disappeared very early, and even if they were the same, the harm Qingcheng brought to him was more than happiness. This is where he grew up, but also where he lost two precious people.

In Meng Huo's memory, Qingcheng is not a happy city. When he stands in this land, he always thinks of the death of Li Qin and He Xi, and even the discrimination he suffered from his childhood. He may have nostalgia, but this nostalgia can't compare with sadness. Sometimes, Meng Huo doesn't even want to set foot on this land all his life.

However, these things are secrets in my heart. So Meng Huo just laughed at Alice's question and said, "wherever I go, it's my home."

Alice could not continue to ask. Before the ribbon cutting ceremony, the activity had already started. When Meng Huo and his wife arrived, the atmosphere was very lively. A closer look, there was a performance, and Shen Jie was standing on the stage singing.

"The facilities here are really poor."

Alice frowned and said, in her opinion, the whole scene is too bad. Shen Jie's performance here seems very casual.

"It's not a professional stage. Don't ask too much."

Meng Huo saw that Shen Jie didn't notice their arrival, so he didn't continue to look. He turned and followed the receptionist to the building with the word "Xi".

Qingcheng county's fund is called "Xi". To be more precise, Meng Huo's whole fund is named after "Xi". This is hosted by Alice, and she chooses the location. The ribbon cutting ceremony was arranged in the most prosperous street of Qingcheng County, which is also the headquarters of the fund, next to the people's Bank of China, with a very advantageous geographical location.

"Is it necessary?" On the way to the building, Meng Huo whispered to Alice, "we're not a profit-making organization. How can we put our position so central?"

Alice wry smile: "no way, the government said to have the image, can't put too partial."

The main reason why the fund is placed on the busy streets is the will of the government. Of course, the image is secondary. The Qingcheng county government pays more attention to the potential of the fund. After all, it is the fund established by cartoonist He Xi. If it is put in such an eye-catching place, it may bring more benefits in the future.

Of course, Meng Huo didn't understand the government's thoughts. As soon as he appeared, several officials standing in front of the building saw him and came quickly.

"Teacher He Xi, you have arrived at last!"

"Please come inside. The activity will start soon. The county magistrate will be there soon."

The staff separated the crowd, and the officials walked in around Meng Huo. Their actions attracted the attention of many people, including Shen Jie, who was singing. Seeing Meng Huo's back, Shen Jie almost lost her voice, but she took it back in time. While singing, she glanced at Meng Huo with her eyes.

Alice followed Meng Huo closely and helped him talk with other officials, which made Shen Jie frown. Fortunately, her song soon finished, and after singing, she also got the privilege to watch the ribbon cutting in the nearest place. The whole ceremony lasted only half an hour, and it was very solemn. Meng Huo and the magistrate of Qingcheng County stood in the middle, and they cut the ribbon with scissors.

However, until the end of the ceremony, Shen Jie was still unable to get close to Meng Huo. He was interviewing, speaking and negotiating. Until lunch, Shen Jie could not find time to contact Meng Huo, who was surrounded by people. Only Alice stood beside Meng Huo all the time. She was beside him during the ceremony. Even during the meal, she helped Meng Huo socialize and block the wine.

"..." Shen Jie has some bad taste in her heart. She leaves the banquet halfway through the meal. Although Meng Huo sees it, he is entangled by other people, so it's hard to go to stop Shen Jie.Today's activities were more unfettered than Meng Huo expected. Even when it was almost 3 p.m. to return, the government sent several people to send him to the station, so that he didn't contact Shen Jie all day. Meng Huo was a little disappointed, but when she got to the station, she found that Shen Jie was waiting in the waiting hall with her mother, with a suitcase beside her wheelchair.

"I'll go back to Ninghai with you."

Shen Jie said
