Chapter 200 Looking for Father’s Past

Yan Xiuli was thinking about how to meet Wu Tianlin, but now when she heard Li Fang say this, her originally depressed mood immediately relaxed and replied happily: "Okay! OK! You are responsible for contacting other classmates. I will invite Wu Tianlin at noon. I will call the catering department of Hancheng Hotel to book a private room. I will tell you the box number by text message later."

Seeing that Yan Xiuli became very good after learning about Wu Tianlin, Li Fang felt even more certain that Yan Xiuli must have this past affection for Wu Tianlin, otherwise she would not have been shady and clear all of a sudden. However, she had already persuaded Yan Xiuli just now, so what she said was right. If Wu Tianlin's wife was by her side, even if Yan Xiuli wanted to realize her dream, it would require Wu Tianlin's cooperation. When Yan Xiuli was in high school, she had obviously hinted to Wu Tianlin that at that time, Wu Tianlin could reject Yan Xiuli on the grounds of studying, and now she would not change. Thinking of this, she immediately replied: "Okay! I will be responsible for notifying the students, you will be responsible for booking a private room, and I will contact you later when I inform each student."

Yan Xiuli put down her cell phone and sighed excitedly: "I searched for it without any effort when I got it! I didn't expect that I could get close to Wu Tianlin when I tried my best to get close to Wu Tianlin. That girl Li Fang thought what I thought and made an appointment for Wu Tianlin for me in advance." Thinking of this, she picked up her cell phone again, pressed out the phone number of her father-in-law Chen Haodong, and then called directly.

The phone was connected soon. Yan Xiuli said immediately without waiting for her husband to speak publicly: "Dad! I have confirmed that it is my high school classmate, and another classmate of mine has already made an appointment with him to have lunch together. What should you do next for Wu?"

Chen Haodong on the other end of the phone was relieved when he heard his wife's words and said, "Xiuli! You must arrange it at noon, and then get closer to each other during dinner. As for the matter, it depends on the situation. After all, you haven't seen each other for so long, and the identity of others is placed there, so if you play this card well, everything will be fine. If you don't play well, it means you lose the only chance. You are a smart girl. Dad believes that you can definitely save Xiaoning."

When Yan Xiuli heard Chen Haodong's order, she nodded immediately and replied: "Dad! I understand, I will talk about the situation."

Wu Tianlin didn't have breakfast when he came out to see Shandong Central South, so after leaving Shandong Central South, Li Guodong immediately asked Bai Huifang to go upstairs to invite Wang Yuxuan, and he directly accompanied Wu Tianlin to the restaurant first.

After arriving at the restaurant, Li Guodong asked Wu Tianlin to sit down, then took a document bag from the secretary beside him, handed it to Wu Tianlin with a smile, and said respectfully: "Young Master Wu! This is what I arranged for someone to find out some information and photos of the leader who was in the city archives bureau overnight when he was in the queue in Hancheng."

Wu Tianlin was very interested when he heard Li Guodong's words. He also wanted to know some of the things his parents had here back then, so he took the file bag handed to him by Li Guodong, said thank you with a smile, then opened the file bag, took out a lot of information from it, and even several well-preserved black and white photos.

Wu Tianlin first picked up those photos. These photos included his father, and there were also several mothers among them. There was even a photo of his parents alone. Looking at the photo, the two were wearing military uniforms and big red flowers on their chests, it seemed like a pair of primary school students were shy. The background behind was a big word "happy". Wu Tianlin immediately guessed that the photo was obviously taken by his parents when they got married, which made Wu Tianlin happily unable to help but say to himself: "I didn't expect that there would be photos of my parents when they got married, Secretary Li! On behalf of my parents, I thank you for helping my parents find these precious memories."

Seeing Wu Tianlin's excited look, Li Guodong quickly replied modestly: "Young Master Wu! I just arranged for someone to visit the township where your father went to the countryside to learn about the things that educated youth went to the countryside. These photos were preserved by a retired teacher in Lantian Township."

Hearing Li Guodong's introduction, Wu Tianlin immediately became curious about the retired teacher who had preserved these precious photos, and quickly asked Li Guodong: "Secretary Li! You said that these photos were preserved by a retired teacher. So is this old teacher still in Lantian Township now? What is his name?"

Seeing that Wu Tianlin was very interested, Li Guodong immediately introduced Wu Tianlin to the situation that the cadres below reported to him before, and then said with a smile: "We just wanted the cadres to understand some of the situations when the leader was in the army, so we visited some old people in Lantian Township. Who knew that Teacher Wen would save so many photos of the leader when he was young. At that time, our cadres asked Teacher Wen to hand over all the photos to us, but Teacher Wen disagreed, so we only had these photos. If Mr. Wu, you need them, we would think of a way to see if we could bring all the remaining photos."

When Wu Tianlin heard many photos, he was very excited, but stopped him and said, "No! No! I call my dad now and tell him about the photos, and ask him if he will still remember Teacher Wen Liangbin. At noon, because I made an appointment with several high school classmates, Secretary Li in the afternoon would see if he could help me arrange someone and let him accompany me to meet Teacher Wen Liangbin." After Wu Tianlin finished speaking, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly pressed the mobile phone number of his father's secretary Wang Chongde.

Not long after, Wang Chongde immediately heard from the receiver on his phone, saying respectfully: "Young Master Wu! Hello! I am Wang Chongde."

When Wu Tianlin heard Wang Chongde's voice, he quickly asked with a smile: "Secretary Wang! Where is my dad? I have something to ask him to take the phone. Please let him take the call."

"The chief is meeting with the Minister of Commerce in the office, Mr. Wu! Please wait." Wang Chongde heard Wu Tianlin's words, and then answered politely, knocked on the door and walked into the office, and reported to Wu Guoruihui respectfully: "Chief! Tianlin has something to come to you." As he said that, he handed the cell phone in his hand to Wu Guorui.

Wu Guorui took the phone, smiled and said to the Minister of Commerce for a while, then picked up the phone, and asked in a friendly tone: "Tianlin! I heard that you have gone to Fujian to save money. Is there anything wrong with looking for dad at this time?"

Wu Tianlin heard his father's voice and quickly replied with a smile: "Dad! I returned to Hancheng because of something, and with the help of local officials, I found some photos of you and my mother when they were in the army. One of them was taken when you and my mother got married. Comrade Li Guodong, Secretary of the Hancheng Municipal Committee, said that these photos were preserved by a retired old teacher in the local area, and there are many photos there. By the way, the old teacher's name is Wen Liangbin. I wonder if you know him?"

"What? Wen Liangbin! Tianlin Are you talking about Teacher Wen Liangbin? I didn't expect that Teacher Wen was still there, Tianlin! Teacher Wen is here now, Dad wants to talk to him." Wu Guorui on the other end of the phone immediately became excited when he heard Wu Tianlin mention the name Wen Liangbin, and then asked Wu Tianlin.

Wu Tianlin didn't expect that his father actually knew Wen Liangbin, so he immediately replied: "Dad! Teacher Wen is not here. I am just about to go to Lantian Township on behalf of you in the afternoon. I will call you after I see Teacher Wen."

Wu Guorui was inevitably disappointed when he heard that Wen Liangbin was not by his son. He immediately explained to Wu Tianlin: "Tianlin! When my father and your mother were in the lineup in Lantian Township, Teacher Wen took special care of us. If it weren't for his help, Dad and your mother wouldn't have given birth to you so smoothly. So Teacher Wen is a great benefactor to our family. When you visit him, you must help Dad invite him to the north to visit. By the way! Teacher Wen likes to drink the honey-sencheng wine brewed from Hancheng winery the most. When you go, you bring a few bottles of it."

Hearing his father's words, Wu Tianlin nodded and replied, "Dad! I understand. I'll go buy it now. After lunch, I'll hurry to Lantian Township."

"Okay! Then dad is waiting for your phone call." Wu Guorui heard Wu Tianlin's answer and happily answered, he said to Wu Tianlin again: "Tianlin! Dad has something to do, so I won't tell you much. Remember to call Dad when he sees Teacher Wen."

Wu Tianlin said goodbye to his father, then hung up the phone, and asked Li Guodong next to him with a smile: "Secretary Li! There is a place for Michengcheng winery in our Hancheng winery. My father said that Teacher Wen likes to drink this wine the most. He asked me to bring a few bottles to Teacher Wen when I go, and invite Teacher Wen to visit the north."

When Li Guodong heard the old wine of Michengcheng, he nodded immediately and replied: "There is such old wine! But the output is much smaller now, and it is generally rarely seen on the market. Mr. Wu! I will arrange for someone to help you go to the winery to buy a box."

Wu Tianlin smiled and said, "Secretary Li! Thank you so much, so you can ask me how much this wine is. I will give you the money at that time. In addition, you will arrange to send Teacher Wen to the north with me the day after tomorrow."

Li Guodong was very excited when he heard that Wu Tianlin actually asked him to take Wen Liangbin to the north, and quickly nodded and replied: "Young Master Wu! Look at what you said, how much are those bottles of wine worth? Isn't you looking down on our Hancheng Committee if you give us the money? As for Teacher Wen's trip to the north, please rest assured, I will make arrangements."

When Wu Tianlin heard Li Guodong's answer, he hurriedly said, "No! The bridge returns to the bridge and the road, the wine was given by my father, so we must pay it ourselves, otherwise we will not be able to express my father's wishes. If you really don't accept it, then I will send Teacher Wen back to the north by myself, and you just think I have never said anything."
