The road to the town was one that Zhang Guoquan often walked when going to the market. At his pace, it would take nearly an hour.

For the elderly, it takes about an hour and a half or two hours to walk slowly and leisurely.

When the old people walked the long way to the market, they didn't feel anxious or tired. They seemed to enjoy going to the market like this.

Even if they don't buy anything at a big market, they are still willing to take a look around or go to Qiaotou to get a haircut.

Now, the old man still chooses to walk to the market, with his hands behind his back, as if his life has never changed.

The only thing that has changed, visible to the naked eye, is that more and more people ride bicycles in the past two years, and some young people also choose to ride motorcycles.

A special business has been created in Daji for this purpose, which is to look at bicycles for people.

With mountains to eat and water to eat, families living next to the market started a business of looking after bicycles on the open space circled in front of their homes.

There were too many bicycles. In order to prevent people from mistaking the bicycles, a playing card was torn in half and half was inserted on the bicycle. Those who went to the market took the remaining half. When they came back from the market, they handed the playing cards to the people who were looking for them.

In the beginning, bicycles cost two cents a piece, but this year the price has increased sharply, to five cents a piece. Motorcycles are even more expensive, costing ten cents a piece.

There is no other way. No matter how expensive it is, you have to leave it to someone to look after it. The town is so big. During the market, it is crowded with people. It is impossible to push a bicycle in, and it is difficult to get out once you are in.

In order to save trouble, I also handed it over.

Although Zhang Guoquan is now capable, it is very easy to buy a motorcycle, not to mention bicycles, but sometimes he would rather walk.

Slowly and leisurely, he felt that it was time to go to the market.

Even if it takes an hour to walk, he is willing to do so.

If I remember correctly, today is the day to go to the market. It is almost half afternoon. From the river ditch, there are still two or three old people returning from the market, either carrying a bag of red apples on their shoulders or carrying bamboo baskets.

Full of eggs.

I walked neither hastily nor slowly. When I got tired, I sat down in the river ditch to rest for a while.

This afternoon was different. Zhang Guoquan was riding a bicycle borrowed from the mine, pedaling hard all the way, but he wished he had come on a motorcycle.

He was anxious, and Xia Sujuan usually would not come to him. In the past few years of dealing with her, he had never seen Xia Sujuan feel sad. She might have, but she would never trouble him on small matters.

If you made a call specifically to the mine, you must have encountered something difficult.

Thinking of this, he pedaled faster. What usually takes him half an hour to ride a bicycle, today only took him more than ten minutes.

Aolong Construction Company came into view. Zhang Guoquan pedaled a few times. Following the momentum of the bicycle, he tilted his bicycle against the wall and ran in.

"Sister Sujuan, sister Sujuan..."

There were five large tile-roofed houses side by side in the yard. He didn't know which house Xia Sujuan might be in, so he shouted in the yard.

After shouting a few times, the first door opened was the tiled house in the middle.

The person who opened the door was not Xia Sujuan. The person with an obvious centipede-shaped scar on his face was extremely ugly. It was Wu Dasca from the cement factory.

"Boss Wu..." Zhang Guoquan was shocked and had a bad feeling.

If he came to talk to Xia Sujuan, why should he keep the door closed? Wu Dashen's impression on Zhang Guoquan was not good, it could be said to be extremely bad.

I heard from the department in charge of coal mine orders below that the payment from the Wu Da Scar Cement Factory is the most difficult to obtain, and it is always delayed again and again.

There is also an impression that this person is a lecher.

"Mineral Zhang?" Wu Dasca looked surprised the moment he opened the door.

Zhang Guoquan ignored him and rushed over in a hurry. Wu Dasca was knocked against the door frame.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?" Wu Dasca managed to steady himself.

How could Zhang Guoquan be in the mood to care about him? If something happened to Xia Sujuan, he, Wu Da Scar, would not be able to leave today.

"Sister Sujuan..."

Entering the room, there was a tea table specially used to receive guests. Xia Sujuan was sitting opposite the tea table, pouring tea.

Zhang Guoquan breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Xia Sujuan who was "completely intact".

"Guoquan, you are here. I see you are sweating. Come and have tea."

Zhang Guoquan was not in the mood to drink tea. He walked to the tea table and asked directly: "Sister Sujuan, what happened?"

He asked softly. As long as nothing happened to Xia Sujuan, everything would be nothing.

Xia Sujuan gestured with her eyes to Wu Dasca, who was standing at the door.

Before Xia Sujuan could speak, Wu Dashen came over and said, "Mine manager Zhang, Meiren Xia said that she can't make the decision, so you have to make the decision."

Calling him here in a hurry is just to "make the decision". What decision?

When he first arrived, Zhang Guoquan didn't understand the actual situation, but he thought that since Xia Sujuan specially called him here, it must be an important matter.

Without understanding the situation, Zhang Guoquan was ready to follow Wu Dascar's words and say: "Ah? Yes."

"Okay, your construction company has promised to use the cement from my cement plant, and Xia Meiren and I have already reached an agreement this morning. Why did you change your mind just after a meal?"

Zhang Guoquan was secretly shocked. He didn't expect Wu Da Scar to get the news so quickly.

Zhang Guoquan glanced at Xia Sujuan. He was the one who proposed not using Wu Dasca's cement. He should really make the decision.

Wu Dashen obviously regarded the construction company as belonging to Zhang Guoquan, otherwise Xia Sujuan would not have made a special trip to ask him to make the decision.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang has other industries. Since the construction company belongs to Mr. Zhang, this matter will be easy to handle.

The cement factory and the mine have cooperation. We have an old relationship. There is no need to leave our own cement unused and use other people's. This is not justified."

The construction company belonged to Zhang Guoquan and had nothing to do with him, but Xia Sujuan let him make the decision, indicating that she did not want to get entangled with Wu Dascar.

Indeed, there was no need for her to bother with it, simply because this was all decided by Zhang Guoquan, and if something went wrong, Zhang Guoquan should naturally bear the responsibility.

Since Wu Dashen thinks that the construction company belongs to Zhang Guoquan, he will simply make the mistake.

Wu Dashen obviously came prepared and wanted to fight to the end. Zhang Guoquan was ready to give him a blow.

"Boss Wu mentioned the mining cooperation. As far as I know, there is still a sum of money that Boss Wu has not received, right?"

"This?" Wu Dashen looked embarrassed. The most important thing was that he was in front of the beauty. If Xia Sujuan hadn't been there, he could have yelled and dragged her back.

He can't lose face in front of a beauty.

"Don't worry, Mine Manager Zhang. It's just a small amount. When I get back, I'll call you. It's indispensable for your mine."

"That's good. Now, let's talk about cement." Zhang Guoquan looked at Xia Sujuan and asked, "You didn't sign the contract, right?"

Xia Sujuan blew her tea and shook her head.

Zhang Guoquan clapped his hands together: "Boss Wu, look? We didn't sign a contract. We just inspected it in the morning, and we didn't say that we must use your cement. We are all in business, and we can use whatever cement is suitable for us. This

It makes sense, Boss Wu should see things more clearly than me."

To supply coal to Wu Dashen's cement factory, not only is the payment slow, but I also have to negotiate the price with you.

Wu Dashen often threatened, "My cement factory uses coal from your mine because I look down on you. How many people have asked me to use it, but I still have to use it."

Wu Dashen was furious when he heard this: "That must be the most suitable one for me. I have already given Xia Meiren the lowest price. Even if you go all over Pingshan County, there will be no one with a lower price than me. I don't even make any money. I just pay the price."

friend."

Wu Dasca's skinny fox tail finally showed up. Just as Zhang Guoquan had guessed before, he was trying his best to provide cement to Xia Sujuan, not because of those small projects, but because he had other motives.

The one in the picture is naturally the beauty Xia Sujuan.

There is no point in exposing Wu Dashen's dirty mentality to his face.

Zhang Guoquan started from the essence of the matter: "The low price is indeed suitable, but the several projects in hand this time are very important and cannot make any mistakes. Therefore, quality is also a criterion for our assessment."

Mentioning the quality of cement, Wu Dashi laughed on the spot. The centipede scar on his face seemed to come alive as the flesh on his face trembled.

He was obviously laughing, but it made people feel numb inside.

Xia Sujuan simply didn't look at it, turned her head to one side, and drank tea by herself.

"It's so unreliable what Director Zhang said."

Wu Da Scarei stretched out his thumb and shook it and said: "Go and ask about Wu Da Scar's cement. Who dares to say something bad? To tell you the truth, I am holding the cement in my hand this time for the construction of facilities in the county."

There are several big projects, and more than half of them are made of cement produced by me, Wu Da Scar.

As for the two small projects you have in hand, I can provide you with cement. It’s me, Wu Dashen, who gives Xia Meiren face. Others want to buy it, but I won’t sell it yet.”
