Chapter 625 273: The Closed Door, Unanswered Calls, and Tragedy Strikes!
"Alright, alright, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Zhang. Mainly because the leaders are very interested in you, and since there was no meeting scheduled before, they'll just come by in the evening to slightly disturb you. However, there shouldn't be many leaders, probably just a few, coming along with Station Chief Tian and Deputy Station Chief Ou."
The voice on the other end of the phone was from staff member Li Xiaowen.
She received information after the meeting that the leaders were very interested in Zhang Lingchuan and immediately arranged a meeting through the organizing committee. She's now coordinating in advance with Teacher Zhang.
To avoid the leaders making a fruitless trip if he's out or there's inadequate hospitality.
"No worries, no worries. It's my honor that Station Chief Tian and the others want to come see me. Saying it's a disturbance makes it sound too distant."
Zhang Lingchuan replied with a soft smile.
After all, having Station Chief Tian and the others come looking for him late at night is a sort of recognition, right?
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."
Li Xiaowen hung up the phone.
Though she hasn't been in the reception work for long, she's met all kinds of people.
Someone like Dr. Zhang, so easy to communicate with and without any sense of superiority, is the first.
Some people, seeing you're doing reception work, can't wait to use you like a slave.
So sometimes, people really are ...
Li Xiaowen put her phone on the table, feeling a lot of emotions.
In the hotel suite on the other side.
"Master Zhang, there's actually Lubao Tea from Lingnan in this room. We should brew some Lubao Tea to show our sincerity."
After Zhang Lingchuan hung up the phone, Song Wanqing got busy.
Soon, she found several kinds of tea in the room.
After pondering for a moment, Song Wanqing took out a pack of Lubao Tea from Lingnan.
Just right since Teacher Zhang is also from Lingnan.
"Hmm, then let's brew some Lubao Tea."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded in agreement and then prepared to make some tea.
"By the way, Master Zhang, do you rarely drink tea?"
Song Wanqing watched Zhang Lingchuan busy himself and became a bit curious, asking.
"I hardly drink tea... After all, I'm not at the age for tea drinking yet."
Zhang Lingchuan responded with a smile.
"No wonder ..."
Song Wanqing held her forehead.
"Comrade Xiao Song, is there something wrong with the way I'm brewing the tea?"
Suddenly, Zhang Lingchuan sensed that Comrade Xiao Song's words carried hidden meaning.
"Of course, it's wrong, Master Zhang. We need to adjust the style. Forget it, I initially thought you could make tea to show sincerity, but let me, the assistant, handle it instead."
Seeing Zhang Lingchuan pick up a glass teapot with a stainless-steel filter in the middle to wash it, then prepare to put Lubao Tea inside, Song Wanqing held her forehead. Teacher Zhang, she was really exasperated.
"This... Comrade Xiao Song even knows how to make tea? So capable?"
Zhang Lingchuan's expression became slightly stiff.
Of course, he knew there were nuances in making tea, but he didn't really get them. Seeing others using this glass teapot to make tea, he just washed it and decided to use it as well.
"Definitely capable, and I have a fair understanding of tea brewing and tea arts. Like this Lubao Tea, it's a type of black tea. Using this health-preserving pot for our own drinking is fine, but if it's for entertaining distinguished guests, it needs to be a bit more stylish."
Song Wanqing said, opening the cabinet.
"Using these small white porcelain pots, Zisha Clay Teapots certainly gives off a more classy feel. So, which one should we use?"
Zhang Lingchuan saw several sets of teaware inside.
It must be said, brewing tea with porcelain or Zisha Clay Teapots inexplicably carries an innate sense of elegance.
"Master Zhang, to brew good Lubao Tea, we need to focus on two points: first, to remove the storage odor, and second, to bring out the rich and smooth feel of the tea soup. Therefore, we should use a short and stout Zisha Clay Teapot as the main brewing vessel. When the leaders arrive, it provides long-lasting warmth and also has larger pores that help absorb any warehouse odor."
Song Wanqing pointed to the tea set at the top, explaining.
This hotel really is not considerate.
All the good stuff is placed on the top layers.
Most people find it troublesome and lazy to get, ending up like Teacher Zhang, just randomly grabbing a transparent health pot to brew tea.
"Is Comrade Xiao Song this professional?"
The teaware was arranged as an entire cabinet.
Almost one set per layer.
And the top layer, people like Wanqing need to stand on a stool to reach.
As for himself, even with his height of over six feet, he could barely reach it. Unsure if it was intentional or what.
But he was quite surprised that Wanqing knew so much.
To know how to brew Lubao Tea, which is from Lingnan, even though she's currently in the north, is something he, a native of Lingnan, doesn't even know. This little girl really knows a lot!
"Hehehe, Master Zhang didn't expect this, did you? My grandfather was a huge tea enthusiast, and my dad's calligraphy was learned from him. Generally, the older generation likes calligraphy, painting, and tea tasting, so I picked up a bit by being around them. Who would've thought it would come in handy today."
After taking down the teaware, Song Wanqing checked it carefully.
She then spoke to Zhang Lingchuan.
In such a situation, she originally didn't plan to take action, considering herself just a small assistant. After all, it's more sincere for Teacher Zhang to personally make tea for the expert leaders.
Who could've expected Teacher Zhang doesn't know at all.
How awkward it is.
"Seems like taking Comrade Xiao Song as an assistant was the right call, hahaha."
Zhang Lingchuan laughed heartily.
Having a professional here makes it a lot easier.
After all, he's somewhat a man of simplicity, having such a meticulous supplement is nice.
"Definitely. After all, Master Zhang is planning to offer eighty thousand as betrothal gift. I must be an outstanding assistant, right?"
