Chapter 318 [Human is true and hypocritical] (Part 1)

Since the Buddha's relics were discovered in the underground palace of Nanlin Temple, the incense in Nanlin Temple has become increasingly prosperous. At five o'clock in the afternoon, there were still endless pilgrims in Nanlin Temple. Chang Hailong's purpose was to worship the Buddha's relics. The Buddha's relics were stored in the underground palace, and ordinary pilgrims did not have the opportunity to worship.

Zhang Yang is definitely a VIP at Nanlin Temple. According to the monk Sanbao, Zhang Daguanren is the great savior of Nanlin Temple. If Zhang Daguanren had not discovered the underground palace of Nanlin Temple, the temple would not have been prosperous today.

Zhang Yang found the Three Treasures Monk and worshipped the Buddha's relics and the Three Treasures Monk could handle it. There is no need to bother Abbot Puyuan, but San Treasures heard that this was the matter, so he was quite embarrassed: "It's not possible today, there are people visiting the underground palace, let's go tomorrow!"

Zhang Yang became a little angry when he heard this. He brought guests to Nanlin Temple more than once, and he always watched them anytime. Why didn’t it work today? He stared at Monk Sanbao coldly and said, “Master, my friend will leave Jiangcheng tonight!”

Monk Sanbao said, "To be honest, the abbot is visiting with several distinguished guests now. He specifically instructed that no one can receive him today."

Zhang Yang said, "Who is so awesome?" He had guessed in his heart that the person who could be accompanied by Abbot Puyuan himself must have an unusual identity.

Monk Sanbao said: "Mr. Qiao and Mr. Xu of Huitong!"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly, Xu Jiayong and Qiao Mengyuan also went to Nanlin Temple to burn incense. Could it be that they are here to seek marriage?

Chang Hailong was very sincere. He smiled and said, "This is how I can wait for them to leave before going to burn incense. I hope the master will make it easier. I will return to Lanshan tonight."

Sanbao said with a look of distress: "Mr. Xu donated 100,000 yuan of donations. His condition is that today's Buddha's relics can only be visited. Director Zhang, is it necessary to say about our relationship? I'm really embarrassed. Since we promised him, we Buddhist disciples cannot go back on our word."

Zhang Yang said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a little bit of money? As for such a big show? If he had the guts, he would have bought Nanlin Temple and donated 100,000 charity funds every day."

Monk Sanbao thought to himself that if Xu Jiayong donated 100,000 yuan a day, we would definitely applaud and celebrate, but he is not a fool, and there is a limit to donating donations. It is impossible to donate all his wealth to Buddhism.

When Chang Haitian saw the Three Treasures Monk in a dilemma, he said to Chang Hailong: "Hailong, in fact, the main thing is to burn incense is to be sincere. You may not necessarily go to the Buddha's relics to enter incense. Isn't it the same when you go to the main hall?"

Chang Hailong nodded and went to the main hall.

Zhang Yang pointed to the monk Sanbao. This guy was really unhappy. Chang Hailong came from all the way, and he couldn't even meet this small request, and he felt very embarrassed.

Chang Haixin whispered: "Zhang Yang, don't make things difficult for this master. Since it is inconvenient, why bother to force others to do so?"

Monk Sanbao smiled and said, "I have the newly consecrated red sandalwood here, so I will give it to some of the donors."

Zhang Yang said angrily: "No!"

When Monk Sanbao saw Zhang Yangzhen getting angry, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous and said carefully: "Then... I'll go and discuss with the abbot..."

Just when Zhang Yang was about to say no, he suddenly heard a familiar voice saying, "Xiao Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you again here!"

Zhang Yang turned around and saw the middle-aged man named Qiao looking at him with a camera hanging on it.

Zhang Yang said happily: "Old Qiao, don't say it, we are really destined to be together. From Chunyang to Jiangcheng, we can meet you everywhere. Have you been following me all the time?"

Lao Qiao smiled and said, "No, absolutely not. I came with my door to burn incense. She went to burn incense. I would take a walk and take a few photos. There are so many ancient sites in Nanlin Temple!"

Zhang Yang walked over and shook hands with Lao Qiao: "How about it, are you having fun in our Jiangcheng?"

Old Qiao nodded and said, "Jiangcheng is much better than I thought!"

The two were chatting lively. Zhang Yang saw Abbot Puyuan accompanying Xu Jiayong. Qiao Mengyuan walked from a distance. Xu Jiayong couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Zhang Yang, and his eyes were filled with inexplicable surprise. The surprise on Qiao Mengyuan's face was no less than that of him. Her mouth opened and formed an O-shaped shape, which had not been closed for a long time.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, Mr. Xu, you guys come and burn incense too!"

Qiao Mengyuan smiled, but her eyes fell on the middle-aged man and said softly: "Dad, do you recognize him?"

Xu Jiayong also shouted: "Uncle Qiao!" His mood was extremely complicated at this time. He never expected to see such a scene. Zhang Yang had a great conversation with his future father-in-law and the secretary of the Yun'an Provincial Party Committee Qiao Zhenliang. Qiao Zhenliang came to Jiangcheng this time. He was ready, but he did not expect that Qiao Zhenliang would drive over by himself. Before coming to Jiangcheng, he had already gone to Qingtaishan for a trip. Although he was engaged to Qiao Mengyuan, he lacked understanding of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. It can be said that if it weren't for Mr. Qiao's interference, he would not have been engaged to Qiao Mengyuan now. Qiao Zhenliang and his wife did not agree with him dating his daughter. Mother-in-law Meng Chuanmei wrote this unhappiness on her face. She has never paid attention to him until now. Although his father-in-law Qiao Zhenliang was kind on the surface, he was also very disgusted with this marriage.

Xu Jiayong knew that his mother-in-law believed in Buddhism, so he specially arranged to burn incense in front of the Buddha's relics. His mother-in-law Meng Chuanmei was still chanting scriptures in the underground palace at this time, and Qiao Mengyuan's cousin Shi Wei accompanied her. Qiao Zhenliang was a complete Communist Party member. He didn't believe in these, so he didn't even enter the underground palace. He chose scenes outside and took photos alone. Qiao Mengyuan and Xu Jiayong were worried that he was lonely, so he came up to accompany him.

Neither of them expected that Zhang Yang was actually in Nanlin Temple, nor did they expect that Zhang Yang was still with Qiao Zhenliang, and the two were having a lot of chatting.

When Zhang Yang heard the names of the two of them to Lao Qiao, he realized that after a long time, the middle-aged man with a gentle and simple face was Qiao Mengyuan's father, Qiao Zhenliang, Secretary of the Yun'an Provincial Party Committee. In Zhang Yang's concept, there are few officials at the level of the provincial party secretary, such as Qiao Zhenliang. This person does not have much official spirit. It is better to say that he is the provincial party secretary, and he is more like an ordinary workshop director than to say that he is the provincial party secretary.

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "So you all know each other!"

Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "I know, he is Zhang Yang, director of Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office, and we are old friends."

Qiao Zhenliang glanced at Zhang Yang and smiled and said, "Is Comrade Guoquan's godson? He is young and promising!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, I can't help but praise me!" After knowing Qiao Zhenliang's identity, he naturally did not dare to call Qiao Lao Qiao.

Qiao Zhenliang laughed and said, "I am Yun'an's secretary, not Pinghai's secretary. Don't call me that, but I'd better call me Lao Qiao."

Qiao Mengyuan glared at Zhang Yang fiercely, thinking that this guy was rude enough, and actually called his father Lao Qiao.

Zhang Yang coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't blame me, that's it... I don't know that you are Mr. Qiao's father!"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Since you are all friends, call me Uncle Qiao, and I and your godfather are also good friends!"

Zhang Yang called Uncle Qiao respectfully. He knew very well. The person in front of him was Mr. Qiao, and the most prominent person in the Qiao family in politics. Qiao Zhenliang is only fifty-two years old this year, and his prospects are still very bright. From ancient times to the present, politics has been a plaything for a few people. The higher you go, your background becomes more and more important. Zhang Yang does not know Qiao Zhenliang, but one thing he knows is that Qiao Zhenliang has a good economic development. Since he went to Yun'an, the economy of Yun'an Province has grown year by year. In the past, Pinghai has far surpassed Yun'an in all aspects. However, in recent years, Yun'an has developed extremely rapidly, and it can be alongside Pinghai.

At this time, Meng Chuanmei finished reciting the scriptures and left the underground palace with the company of Shi Wei and Abbot Puyuan. When she saw Zhang Yang, she smiled and said hello: "Xiao Zhang, I met you again!"

Zhang Yang said respectfully: "Hello Aunt Meng!"

Xu Jiayong felt really uncomfortable when he heard it. Since he got engaged to Qiao Mengyuan, Meng Chuanmei had never told him a word. She didn't pay attention to him when she came to Jiangcheng this time. Xu Jiayong was nothing. After all, her future mother-in-law has always opposed his marriage with Qiao Mengyuan and has never liked him. But seeing Meng Chuanmei being so kind to Zhang Yang, Xu Jiayong suddenly became unbalanced in her heart. Why is he Zhang Yang?

Qiao Mengyuan realized something from Xu Jiayong's eyes. She held her father's arm and said, "Dad, it's time for us to leave!"

Xu Jiayong said attentively: "Uncle Qiao, I have prepared a banquet in the new empress to welcome you!"

Qiao Zhenliang nodded and turned to Zhang Yang and said, "Xiao Zhang, let's go together!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Forget it, your family is having dinner, so I won't join in the fun!"
