When the last sunset turned into dark clouds, night fell.

Beiping City, Baiweilou.

In a private room on the third floor, Jin Xilai and Wen Ya were sitting, waiting for Chu Mufeng to arrive.

Because Chu Mufeng came forward to help solve the last Quanjude incident, the two of them would like to express their gratitude.

Of course, according to Jin Xilai, they are all their own people, so there is no need to be so polite, but Wen Ya disagreed and cared about this etiquette very much.

But before the person invited was coming, Wen Ya couldn't help but ask uneasy: "Come to the West, will Chief Chu not come?"

"Xiaoya, do you think you are like this? Didn't you tell you that you are my girlfriend now, so just call the fourth one directly, or call him Mu Feng, and keep talking about Chief Chu, it sounds like a changeable and disgusting."

Jin Xilai patted Wen Ya's hand and said with a smile.

"It's weird to listen to you!"

Wen Ya glanced coquettishly: "I told you too that he is your good brother. If you can do this, why can I do this? I am just your girlfriend now, so it's better to pay attention."

"If you have it, please do what you want!" Jin Xilai shrugged casually and stopped worrying about this issue.

"By the way, have you told your teacher's matter before, has it been resolved?" Jin Xilai suddenly remembered this and asked with a high eyebrows.

When Wen Ya heard Jin Xilai's question, she frowned and showed a little depressed look: "Not yet, that matter is a bit complicated and it's a bit difficult to solve."

"Do you want it..."

Just as Jin Xilai was about to say why he wanted to help, the door was knocked.

As Chu Mufeng's figure appeared, he stood up to greet him and put the topic on hold for the time being.

After a simple greeting, the three of them sat down separately.

"Chief Chu, here is the menu. You can take a look first. Order whatever you like. Don't be polite. I'll treat you tonight. Thank you for your help last time." Wen Ya handed over the menu, with a sweet smile and said generously.

"Hey, how can you treat you!"

Chu Mufeng tilted his head and glanced at Jin Xilai: "He is the biggest here, let's eat him tonight!"

As he said that, he pushed the menu back and said casually: "It's the first time I've been to this store, so why don't you order it casually, I'm not picky."

"Xiaoya, come on some!" Jin Xilai said very gentlemanly.

"That's good!"

After ordering good dishes and calling the guy to prepare, Wen Ya took the initiative to pour the wine cup in front of her and raised it and said, "Chief Chu!"

As soon as the title was called out, Chu Mufeng immediately interrupted with a smile: "Well, Miss Wen, Lao Jin told me that you must not marry me, then you will be my sister-in-law in the future!"

"Let's do this, don't yell at the section chief. If you see it, just call me my name directly. Don't be too polite. Do you think it's done?"

"Then I'm more respectful than obedience!" Wen Ya said with a slight smile.

It turns out that he was from a scholarly family and was very concerned about etiquette.

This was also what Jin Xilai said at the Chu Mu Summit. Otherwise, he would have really greeted his sister-in-law directly, which would have helped Jin Lao Er closer!

But there is no way. If Jin Xi calls this title, it is better to be more regular, otherwise Wen Ya will be thin-skinned and persevere, and might make the atmosphere irresistible.

"Mu Feng, I really thank you for Quan Jude. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered a loss. I would like to wish you this glass!" Wen Ya picked up the wine glass, which was quite as good as a man.

"Wen Ya, you are so polite. This is what I should do. In fact, even if I don't show up, Lao Jin can settle this matter. He would not dare to face the city government if he gave Li a few courages!"

"Come on, Lao Jin, let's go together!" Chu Mufeng did everything without any loss. After saying this, he immediately raised Jin Xilai's identity.

"Okay, let's go together!"

Jin Xilai smiled and raised his glass. After the three of them touched each other, they drank it all in one go.

"Ahem!"

Wen Ya started coughing before she even put down her wine glass, her pretty face turned red, obviously not good at drinking.

Seeing her like this, Jin Xilai quickly handed her a glass of water, patted her on the back, and said with concern: "Xiaoya, I just told you that the fourth brother is not an outsider, so you don't have to show off your strength and drink. Look, you're choking? Come on, drink water and ease it."

"Yes, Lao Jin is right. We are not outsiders. You don't need to drink alcohol, drink tea. Let's just have a simple meal and just chat."

"By the way, I heard from Lao Jin that you are a college student now, are you? Tell us about your college affairs." Chu Mufengyun easily changed the topic in a few words.

"Is it college?"

Wen Ya's eyes lit up, as if she had found a field she was good at, and she started talking with relish.

A beautiful teller, two qualified listeners, the atmosphere in the elegant room is cheerful and harmonious.

After half a tour of the meal, I was chatting, and I didn’t know why I talked about Wen Ya’s teacher. After hearing the other party’s name, Chu Mufeng put down his chopsticks and said without a trace: “Did you say your teacher Chen Bailu have a problem?”

Chu Mufeng has heard of Chen Bailu.

He is not only a university professor, but also often publishes insightful editorial articles in newspapers. He is a well-known figure in Sijiu City.

What Chu Mufeng didn't expect was that Wen Ya was actually his student.

"Yes, the teacher is a little troublesome." Wen Ya, who couldn't hide her words, said the truth.

"Let me tell me, maybe I can help." Chu Mufeng looked at the other party and smiled sincerely.

"you……"

Wen Ya just showed a sceptical look, but Jin Xilai took the conversation straight away: "I'll say, Xiaoya, the fourth brother is the most capable of our brothers, maybe there is really a way."

"Uh... Then you tell me!" Wen Ya blinked.

"Old Fourth, this is the case..."

With Jin Xilai's explanation, Chu Mufeng also learned the ins and outs of the so-called difficult problem.

In fact, the whole thing is not very complicated, or even very simple. In the final analysis, it is just one word: money.

Chen Bailu's first wife has always been in poor health, weak and sickly. She finally couldn't stand it last year. After she fell down, she was bedridden and was taken care of by Chen Bailu.

At the beginning, Chen Bailu always invited traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosis and treatment, but traditional Chinese medicine was slow to achieve, so it did not improve much.

Later he turned to Western medicine, and the diagnostic opinion given by Western medicine was that Western medicine must be taken for a long time to control the condition.

Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine is much more expensive.

At first, Chen Bailu could still rely on her savings to buy medicine for medical treatment, but in the long run, her old foundation would be emptied, and now she is already in a difficult position.

Even so, he is very upright and has a very stylish personality and is unwilling to make money that is unconscience-ridden.

I borrowed some from my friend, but I also have to pay it back!

No, a penny can't kill a hero!

Chen Bailu was really worried about money.

"Oh, so that's the case. Actually, this is easy to handle." Chu Mufeng smiled after hearing this.

"It's easy to deal with? What to do?" Wen Ya asked hurriedly.

"I happen to know a new newspaper that is being founded. As long as Mr. Chen Bailu is willing to submit editorial articles to their newspapers or be responsible for a column, I believe that the pen fee is enough for him to pay for medical expenses."

"Many scholars are doing this. I believe Mr. Chen will not feel that he has lost his identity and violated his principles, right?" Chu Mufeng said calmly.

"The newspaper submission?" Wen Ya not only didn't have much joy when she heard this, but she showed a kind of hesitation.

"What? Could it be that Mr. Chen is not willing to do this?" Chu Mufeng's tone was slightly higher.

"No, not what you thought!"

Wen Ya shook her head and sighed and said, "Actually, the teacher has been doing this all the time, but the newspaper we worked with before was not clean and the business philosophy of the newspaper conflicted with the teacher's character, so the teacher quit. I was worried that the teacher would have any objections to the newspaper and was afraid that he would not want to do this again."

After hearing this, Chu Mufeng couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the newspaper I know will definitely not have the situation you mentioned. It is guaranteed to be a legally operated, principled and bottom-line newspaper."

"Besides, if there are variables in cooperation and things that violate Mr. Chen's philosophy and principles, he can withdraw the article at any time."

"If that's the case..."

Wen Ya hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I can talk about this with the teacher. Mu Feng, what kind of newspaper is the new newspaper you are talking about? How do you contact their person in charge?"

"Let me do this, I can ask their president to visit Mr. Chen directly. How to cooperate and let them talk to themselves." Chu Mufeng made the decision.

"That's really troublesome!"

Wen Ya couldn't help but pick up the wine cup and pour another cup, wanting to thank her, but was stopped by Jin Xilai and left three cups for her and Chu Mufeng.

Chu Mufeng just needs to stop the matter about "Chu Bao", so he naturally won't say that he is the boss behind the scenes.

Compared to the turmoil that is well known throughout the city, he prefers to be a low-key behind the scenes.

...

Huaihua Hutong, an old house with mottled walls after aging.

Under the morning sunlight, Chen Bailu got up early, held a teapot, sat silently in the yard, looking up at the blue sky, and listening to the flying sound of the trained pigeons in the blue world.

From where he was sitting, he could clearly see the sunlight leaking from the bottom of the locust tree leaves.

The sun shines on the branches and flower pots, painting a golden halo on the green leaves, and also gives Chen Bailu a little more hope.

"Ahem...ahhhh...ahhhh!"

Suddenly, he was disturbed by the coughing sound from inside the room. Chen Bailu quickly stood up and walked into the room, taking care of his wife thoughtfully.

Wang Manyu, whose face was sallow and his eyes were deep and concave, felt that his breathing was finally relieved after a painful cough.

She raised her thin arms with some difficulty and gently stroked the white silk on Chen Bailu's temples, her eyes full of attachment and unbearance.

"White Deer, you have suffered so much this year. You have grown so much and have so much white hair!"

"Manyu, you and I are husband and wife, I am willing to take care of you, so why does it come to the saying that you are not suffering? The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your illness. When the illness is cured, we still have to go out to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers and see all the great rivers and mountains!" Chen Bailu grabbed his wife's hand with both hands, his eyes full of gentleness.

"Ahem!"

After Wang Manyu coughed twice, he said with some pain and self-blame: "I know that because of my illness, I have dragged you down and brought down this family. So Bai Lu, if..."
