Chapter 144: Improvisational Lecture! (Part 1)
Just when Jiang Chengfeng and Bai Biao were chatting animatedly, Bai Biao suddenly stopped his horse and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, we've arrived!"
Jiang Chengfeng said "oh" and was about to get off the car when he heard a girl's clear and joyful voice.
"Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chengfeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman in a pink thin shirt, with a graceful figure, like a fairy, walking towards him quickly . It was Ye Lingshuang, the most talented woman in Huayang!
Jiang Chengfeng was a little puzzled. What on earth was this old man Ye doing? I came to see you, why did you bring your daughter here? Did you want to introduce her to me? How could this be so embarrassing?
"Miss Ye!" Jiang Chengfeng jumped off the carriage, bowed, and said with a smile: "Where is Lord Ye? Why can't I see Lord Ye?"
Ye Lingshuang smiled sweetly and said, "Dad has gone to inspect the dam. Brother Jiang, please wait a moment!"
Jiang Chengfeng turned his head and looked, and found that the place Ye Duo invited him to was actually a dam . It was already early winter and the Yangtze River had entered the dry season, but there was still ankle-deep mud on both sides of the river bank, and the tragic scene of the flood could be vaguely seen.
Today, thousands of people from both sides of the strait are rolling up their sleeves and trouser legs to dig mud and transport it to the shore, while many others are using shovels and other tools to reinforce and widen the river dam.
This scene reminded Jiang Chengfeng of the construction of water conservancy projects in later generations. He grew up by the river and naturally knew the importance of water conservancy projects to the people on both sides of the river.
Seeing the people busy at work, Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh, and his heart was filled with a familiar and warm feeling. These ordinary people ate steamed buns, but did the hardest and most tiring work. In his eyes, these ordinary people were much more approachable than those so-called talented men and women.
Unfortunately, although the people worked enthusiastically, their tools were backward and it was unknown how long it would take to widen and raise the embankment which was dozens of miles long.
But, what on earth did Old Man Ye ask me to come here for? Did he want me to see the working conditions of ordinary people?
"Miss Ye!" Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Ye Lingshuang beside him and asked, "Do you know why Lord Ye wants to see me?"
Ye Lingshuang smiled sweetly and said, "Daddy will tell you about it later!"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that this girl was actually playing mysterious!
Since he had nothing to do, Jiang Chengfeng walked towards the embankment. Stepping on the solid soil, Jiang Chengfeng's heart became even more excited. Thinking of the small home by the river in the future, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Ye Lingshuang followed Jiang Chengfeng and saw that Jiang Chengfeng was excited. She whispered, "Brother Jiang, you——"
Jiang Chengfeng took a deep breath and waved his hand, "I'm fine. I just got blinded by the sand! By the way, Miss Ye, why are you here?"
"I didn't come here alone, I came with my friends from the poetry club!" As she said this, she pointed to a small mound not far away.
Jiang Chengfeng looked up and saw a large rectangular table on the small hillock with a large piece of white paper on it. The talented men and women of Huayang Poetry Society were painting with ink, as if they were painting together.
These talented men and women were concentrating on painting, and even when men carrying sandbags passed by them from time to time, they pretended not to notice them.
Jiang Chengfeng continued to look around and immediately found a familiar figure, Miss Xinyuan. Today, Miss Xinyuan was wearing a fiery red official uniform, which just happened to outline her graceful body, so Fang Xinyuan was very eye-catching among these talented men and women.
Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but frown. How could this girl sneak out during working hours again? It was a waste of taxpayers' money! However, this girl's figure was not bad. Wearing this official uniform, she actually had a bit of uniform temptation. Amitabha, I'm evil again!
In addition, Jiang Chengfeng also saw Zhu Kewei and Yu Rong. The two guys were concentrating on painting at this time, while the other onlookers burst into cheers from time to time, especially Miss Xinyuan, who clapped the most enthusiastically.
Damn it, ordinary people are working hard on the embankment and sweating to protect the interests of you wealthy people, but you, the second generation of officials and rich people, are painting and having fun here. It is simply outrageous!
Jiang Chengfeng really didn't want to let these talented men and women pollute his eyes anymore, so he snorted coldly and was about to turn around and leave.
Ye Lingshuang obviously saw that Brother Jiang had misunderstood, and hurriedly called out, "Brother Jiang, we are not here for fun!"
Jiang Chengfeng paused and turned around, saying with a smile: "Miss Ye, what do you want to do? What does it have to do with me?"
Ye Lingshuang stepped forward and explained, "Brother Jiang, we are painting for a charity auction! Seeing that the money for river defense is about to run out, Dad is very worried, so I told him the method you mentioned before! This time, I brought all the friends in the poetry club here to make a collective painting, and then auction it off. This can also be regarded as a contribution !"
Putting aside her identity, Miss Ye is ambitious, talented, and dares to practice down-to-earth. She is much better than other rich girls. It's just that she takes things for granted and has not truly experienced the lives of ordinary people.
Jiang Chengfeng didn't say anything. Ye Lingshuang thought he didn't believe her, so she sighed and said, "Brother Jiang, I really didn't lie to you! You can go and have a look!"
Jiang Chengfeng did not move, and smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not!"
Ye Lingshuang frowned slightly, and actually insisted on pulling Jiang Chengfeng over. Since meeting this Miss Ye, I have never seen her so stubborn. It seems that what I said just now really stimulated Miss Ye's young heart!
Being dragged by Ye Lingshuang's sleeve, Jiang Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reminded her: "Miss Ye, men and women shouldn't touch each other, don't do this!"
Ye Lingshuang ignored it and said stubbornly: "We are innocent, it has nothing to do with intimacy!"
Jiang Chengfeng was speechless and had to let Ye Lingshuang drag him.
The talented men and women of Huayang Poetry Society had actually noticed Ye Lingshuang and Jiang Chengfeng a long time ago, but their expressions were different.
Zhu Kewei looked unhappy, while Miss Xinyuan was furious. She pointed at Jiang Chengfeng and started to curse, "You lecher, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengfeng got angry. "Damn it, do you think I want to come? Are you blind? Can't you see that I was dragged here by someone?"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chengfeng grinned and said, "Isn't this Miss Xinyuan? Where is your white horse?"
Fang Xinyuan was puzzled and asked, "What do you want to do with my white horse?"
