Chapter 21: Be Tolerant to Her
Liang Weining didn't bring flat shoes on this business trip.

But she was too embarrassed to say it out loud because it would make her look stupid.

"It doesn't matter." Liang Weining rejected the boss's kindness in a very relaxed tone. She said, "I have a car anyway, I just need to hold on for a while."

The girl was stubborn, so Chen Jingyuan didn't force her. He walked towards the garage and ignored her.

"."

Seeing this, Liang Weining hurriedly followed.

Seeing Xu Zhou waiting in front of the car door, she took the opportunity to turn around and go around to the front passenger seat.

It wasn't a very deliberate movement, but it still caught Chen Jingyuan's eye.

He sat with his long legs crossed and his eyes closed, as if looking at it for a few more seconds would be an eyesore.

Liang Weining didn't know that she was disliked by the boss just because of a pair of high heels.

However, facts have proved that if you don't listen to your boss, you will suffer losses.

There were no cars, so Director Yan and his party suggested walking around the market. Everyone was dressed simply and low-key, blending into the crowd like ordinary faces. Only Mr. Chen from Zhonggang, even in plain clothes, could not hide his pure and noble temperament that had been nurtured by the powerful for many years.

Liang Weining regrets, is it too late to accept the adjustment of leave now?

She is a person of action and is not afraid of embarrassment. She directly sent a private message to Chen Jingyuan via Whatsapp.

A few minutes passed but there was no response.

Looking across the crowd to the front of the team, Mr. Chen, accompanied by Director Yan, was walking and talking, and did not seem to notice the phone.

Most official business is communicated directly via email and phone, or conveyed through Special Assistant Xu.

Chen Jingyuan probably seldom reads private messages. Most of the people who send him messages during working hours are acquaintances in his circle.

But it's been too long and there's no way to withdraw it.

At this time, several experts stopped in front of a bamboo weaving craft shop that inherits the intangible cultural heritage.

A tour guide took a group of foreign tourists to visit the site one by one. From weaving to processing to its artistic collection value, the tour guide spoke in a professional and convincing manner. Even the experts who were accompanying them were so engrossed in listening that they gradually became unable to move.

A child among the tourists pointed to the unfinished bamboo trees nearby and asked, "Why is there water on top?"

The tour guide explained: "Maybe it rained last night, and the craftsmen just brought these bamboos back from the bamboo forest."

Liang Weining stood in the crowd and watched silently. She didn't want to spoil the show, but when she heard the tour guide's answer that was blurted out without thinking, she couldn't help but question it out loud.

"If it was due to rain, the dew would only stay on the surface of the bamboo shell. However, a closer look reveals that the inner layer of these bamboos is darker in color, probably because they have been soaked for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Liang Weining.

Be quiet for a few seconds.

The tour guide was a little unconvinced and retorted: "Lianwu Island is located in the subtropics, and the soil and air are humid all year round. It is normal that over time it affects the growth characteristics of bamboo."

The geographical knowledge is good, but unfortunately I can only score 50 points.

Liang Weining walked to a finished bamboo hanging painting, picked up the pen next to him, and wrote on the pink sticky note: "To be precise, Lianwu Island has a marine subtropical monsoon climate. It does have plenty of rain in summer, but it has a most typical characteristic, which is dry and cold winters.

As far as I know, in the past five years, once the winter months come to Lianwu Island, the rainfall for the entire season is almost zero, and only this year has this extreme climate improved. "

As soon as he finished speaking, two lines of beautiful small characters appeared on the paper.

She bent down and politely placed the sticky note on the low table in front of the craftsman.

Everyone was confused and had no idea what Liang Weining was going to do.

After a moment of silence, the craftsman finished reading the message on the sticky note, then turned around and waved, motioning his granddaughter to come over.

After a while, everyone started to notice some clues.

It turned out that the craftsman was a deaf-mute.

One cannot help but sigh that a person like Mr. Chen, and even the secretary beside him, have such sharp observation skills, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After receiving instructions from her grandfather, the little girl walked in front of the crowd and told everyone in her childish voice where the water on the bamboo came from.

Liang Weining's guess was correct. Before the fresh bamboo is put into the formal process, the bamboo joints and bamboo hairs are scraped off, and the bamboo is split in half. Then it is soaked in the river for two days and two nights. After the bamboo becomes soft, it is fished out. At this time, the flexibility of the bamboo is greatly improved. It is split into uniform thin strips with a bamboo knife and then scraped clean before it can be used for weaving.

As the inheritor, the little girl has memorized the details of the production. Although it is not the most authoritative answer, it is enough to serve as a scientific popularization tool.

As a result, the tour guide was speechless and looked a little embarrassed.

The little boy who had just asked the question looked up at Liang Weining, his bright eyes full of admiration, "Sister, are you a top student?"

Everyone laughed.

Liang Weining squatted down, touched the boy's head, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister is not a nerd. We should be willing to observe, dare to question and ask questions. You did a great job just now."

The little boy who received the praise smiled shyly, and his parents beside him also looked pleased.

End of episode.

Liang Weining stood up, looked over the crowd that was dispersing outside, and saw the tall figure of a man standing quietly at the door of the store through the mottled light and shadow.

Next to him was Director Yan. It was unknown how long the two leaders stood there.

There was an indescribable subtle uneasiness in my heart.

Although today I am here to understand the local customs and habits, as a subordinate I would not be willing to meddle in other people's business without my boss's permission.

You know, this takes up 'working' time.

Mr. Chen, will you be unhappy?

Thinking this, she stood there unconsciously, thoughts flowing in her mind, silently observing the man's expression.

Under the eaves of the shop, the feather wind chimes hanging swayed crisply.

From a distance that was neither far nor near, Chen Jingyuan's long gaze fell quietly on the girl.

The breeze passed through the bamboo door, blowing the loose hair on her cheeks gently. Soft white light was shining on her head. At this moment, the so-called peaceful days were not as good as her faint smile.

There was a hint of embarrassment in that smile, but more of it was polite distance towards a superior.

Chen Jingyuan did not go into detail. At his current position, he needed to stop at some point.

There was a brief silence.

Liang Weining came up to the two of them and nodded in greeting.

Director Yan asked with a smile: "Secretary Liang, did you have fun today?"

She was terrified.

"Excuse me, I just—"

Seeing that she wanted to explain and apologize, Director Yan quickly stopped her hand and said, "Oh, it's okay. I heard that Mr. Chen has always been strict with his subordinates, but the situation was special at the time. If we really want to hold him accountable, I have to stand on the side of Secretary Liang."

This joke eliminated most of Liang Weining's worries.

The girl's slightly relieved look became intriguing in Chen Jingyuan's eyes.

Her reaction told him that, at least at one moment, she was truly afraid of him.

It is not surprising that anyone in the board of directors has this mentality.

But Chen Jingyuan asked himself, after more than three months in China and Hong Kong, he had been easy-going and tolerant enough towards her.

He said he doesn't eat people.

But Liang Weining didn't believe it.

Because not long ago, I had just experienced the speed with which this man's mood changed.

One moment he had a cold face, and the next moment he gave her cake.

Liang Weining will never forget that scene on the plane.
