I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 400 Going to Puxian Temple for Tea with District Chief Mei

His phone, which was on his desk, suddenly rang. He saw that it was Mei Shuwei calling and answered it without thinking.

"Hello, District Chief Mei."

"Mr. Fang, hello, have you been busy lately?"

"There are some things, but I'm not as busy as you, District Chief Mei," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"It's all just miscellaneous things. Are you free tomorrow, the weekend? Let's go to Puxian Temple for tea together."

“Okay,” Fang Qingye immediately agreed. “I’ve heard that the Zen tea there is exceptional.”

"Yes, I tried it once and it was really good. How about we go for afternoon tea tomorrow at 2 pm?"

"OK!"

After hanging up Mei Shuwei's call, Fang Qingye pondered the matter.

Why did Mei Shuwei suddenly invite me for tea? Could it be that there's something else going on?

However, he really couldn't think of any reason why he needed to find him.

Never mind, going for tea is a very pleasant thing anyway.

Fang Qingye thought for a moment and then picked up her phone again, this time to call Bai Ou.

The call was answered quickly, and Bai Ou's clear voice came through: "Ye Zi, what's up?"

Are you coming back tomorrow?

"Yes, I'll go back, but not tonight, I have to work late, so I plan to come back tomorrow morning."

"Don't rush back tomorrow, I need to go to the city." Fang Qingye then told the girl about Mei Shuwei's invitation to have tea at Puxian Temple.

"Let's go together then."

"Huh? District Chief Mei invited you, is it really appropriate for me to come along?" Bai Ou hesitated.

“What’s inappropriate about it? We’re just going to have tea and chat. Besides, you’re my wife, not an outsider,” Fang Qingye said matter-of-factly.

“Alright then, I’ll go to the office to work tomorrow morning,” the girl said.

"What kind of work are we doing? Come over early tomorrow morning, and we'll find somewhere to have fun," Fang Qingye said.

"Okay, just come to my dorm."

"it is good."

The next morning, after having breakfast, Fang Qingye told her grandparents and drove straight to Jinghai city, arriving at the staff dormitory building of the city court.

Inside the courthouse, Fang Qingye drove directly to the dormitory building, went up to the third floor, and knocked on Bai Ou's dormitory door.

The girl was busy with something at her desk.

"Ye Zi, please sit down first. I'll copy some study notes," Bai Ou said as she opened the door.

Fang Qingye closed the door and hugged the girl's slender waist from behind.

"Why are you copying notes? Let's hug." He then kissed the girl on the cheek.

The girl struggled for a moment, but quickly responded passionately, and the two kissed.

Now the two of them have done everything except sleep together. Bai Ou insists on saving the final step for their wedding night to make it more memorable, so Fang Qingye respects her wishes.

After a while of being intimate, Bai Ou became flushed and breathless.

"Okay, okay," the girl struggled free and straightened her clothes. "What if someone sees us at work?"

Why would someone come over today, especially since it's the weekend? Besides, this is her single dormitory.

Fang Qingye knew the girl was worried she wouldn't be able to control herself and would just eat her. And indeed, that was quite possible, but this place wasn't a good option.

Once they both calmed down, Bai Ou continued copying notes, while Fang Qingye simply lay down on the girl's bed.

It definitely smells better than my own bed.

While copying notes, Bai Ou asked Fang Qingye, "Yezi, District Chief Mei invited you for tea. Is there something else going on?"

"I think there might be some, but I can't guess," Fang Qingye replied. "I don't interact with him very often, and we hardly have any interaction at work."

Upon hearing Fang Qingye's words, Bai Ou stopped copying the book, turned to look at him, and asked, "Could it be related to Huacheng Development's bidding for land in the city?"

Fang Qingye had mentioned Huacheng Company's bidding for two plots of land in the city to Bai Ou in private. Now, hearing Bai Ou bring it up again, and thinking about it carefully, it seems there is some connection.

“Hey, you’re right.” Fang Qingye sat up in bed. “I remember now, the two plots of land we’re going to bid on are both in Pingdong District.”

"However, the bidding application did not specify which plot of land was to be bid on. How would District Chief Mei know? Did someone inside Huacheng tell him?!"

Thinking of this, Fang Qingye's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Although Mei Shuwei is my friend, it is a serious violation of company rules for someone to disclose company secrets to others without permission!

Seeing the change in Fang Qingye's expression, the clever Bai Ou guessed what he was thinking: "Yezi, you're overthinking it. District Chief Mei has no idea. He just invited you for tea because he wants to ask you about it."

"Yes, you're right. My wife is really smart!"

As Fang Qingye spoke, he got off the bed and tried to kiss the girl's cheek again.

"Go away, stop messing around! I'll finish copying my notes quickly so we can go out and play!"

Actually, going out to play is just shopping.
We visited Qingnian Road Pedestrian Street and Yuanrong Plaza. We even had lunch on the sixth floor of the plaza.

Seeing that it was almost time, Fang Qingye and Bai Ou drove straight to Puxian Temple.

The temple is located in a village called Taiping on the outskirts of the city. There is a tea house called Qisuyuan inside the temple, which is a tea house for tourists.

Fang Qingye parked the car outside the temple, and the two entered the temple gate and arrived at Qisu Garden. There, surrounded by stone paths, flowering trees, green bamboo and pine trees, it was as if they were in a landscape painting.

It's drizzling today, and the continuous autumn rain adds a touch of Zen.

Following the text message sent by Mei Shuwei, Fang Qingye entered a tea room. Inside, she saw a thin, middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses, who was none other than Mei Shuwei. Tea sets were placed on the tea table.

Seeing Fang Qingye enter, Mei Shuwei stood up with a smile to greet him, then looked at Bai Ou beside him and asked, "And who is this?"

"My girlfriend, Bai Ou, works at the city court as a judge's assistant. She's also from Nanxin, and we were classmates in elementary and middle school," Fang Qingye introduced.
"Hello, Judge Bai, my childhood sweetheart."

"Hello, District Chief Mei."

Fang Qingye and Bai Ou sat opposite Mei Shuwei, who then began to skillfully brew tea.

Zen tea refers to tea grown, harvested, processed, and consumed by monks in temples. It is mainly used for offering to Buddha, entertaining guests, personal consumption, and as a gift.

However, Fang Qingye did not find a tea garden in the temple, and the place was not suitable for growing tea.

As the tea boiled, the tea room was filled with a faint aroma of tea.

"Although the tea here is called Zen tea, it is not grown in the temple. The best tea in Jinghai comes from Langshan. The monks of the temple run a tea garden on Langshan. In addition to drinking it themselves, they also run Qisuyuan."

Mei Shuwei seemed to be very familiar with this place.
As he spoke, he poured the brewed tea leaves into teacups, giving one cup each to Fang Qingye and Bai Ou.

Fang Qingye picked up the glass, took a small sip, and smiled.

"The taste is good. Sitting in the temple, listening to the rain and drinking tea, there is indeed a sense of Zen."

"Unfortunately, we are all worldly people with so many mundane matters to deal with."

Mei Shuwei sighed, took a sip of tea, and then suddenly changed the subject: "President Fang, I saw a document copied from the Municipal Land Bureau. Your Huacheng Development is also participating in the upcoming land auction?"
