"Secretary Li, I'm sorry, I gave you a hard time." Mu Guangsen lowered his head and apologized sincerely to Li Yuanlang.

"You did nothing wrong, there is no need to blame yourself." Li Yuanlang waved his hand indifferently, "Guangsen, they are not targeting you, they are targeting me. They wanted to give me a showdown, but to their surprise, they touched the horse's hoof.

.”

"No matter what happens in the future, if anyone wants to attack you, I will be the first to refuse. Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will bully you."

Li Yuanlang's words made Mu Guangsen feel warm in his heart, his eye circles turned slightly red, and his nose became sour.

"Go ahead and do whatever you have to do. Don't have any psychological baggage. Just remember one thing: you did nothing wrong and you were right."

"Yes, Secretary Li."

Looking at Mu Guangsen's back as he wiped the corners of his eyes, Li Yuanlang fell into deep thought.

Li Yuanlang was fully prepared to wait quietly for Sheng's will to call.

The strange thing is that there was no movement the whole afternoon.

Did Lu Xiaodala pull the tiger's skin and deliberately use Sheng Zhizhi to scare him? Or did Sheng Zhizhi change his mind and not want to quarrel with him over this trivial matter?

Li Yuanlang was puzzled.

When he returned home in the evening and had dinner with Mu Guangsen, Li Yuanlang held his rice bowl and thought about something.

Mu Guangsen knew why Li Yuanlang was worried.

Kai explained: "Secretary Li, don't be unhappy. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and explain it myself."

Li Yuanlang put down his job and said to Mu Guangsen: "We won't be eating at home anymore. Come on, let's go out to eat!"

Mu Guangsen was confused by Li Yuanlang's unconventional behavior and looked at him blankly without moving.

"Get in your car and let's go to the busiest place in the city and find a small restaurant to eat some local specialties." Li Yuanlang said and left, already putting on his coat.

Mu Guangsen finally figured out what Secretary Li was thinking.

He wanted to visit privately incognito.

Anyway, Li Yuanlang has only been in Huai City for a short time and has not had many opportunities to show his face.

Even with a little bit of dressing up, most people wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Following Li Yuanlang, Mu Guangsen learned many things.

The streets in Huaicheng City are narrow and have steep ups and downs.

It's winter now, and even in summer, it's hard to see bicycles or shared bicycles here.

The reason is that the streets have steep slopes up and down, making cycling too tiring.

Some people joked that girls in Huaicheng all have long legs. Because they walk for a long time, their legs become thinner and longer.

Therefore, in addition to pedestrians, there are also motor vehicles on the street. There are many cars, almost one next to the other.

Due to the narrow streets, motor vehicle lanes take up a large amount of the road surface, and the sidewalks are very narrow. In some sections, two people cannot even walk side by side, and only one person can walk.

Li Yuanlang learned that the municipal party committee and government are also trying to change the status quo and are studying the feasibility of planning and building Huaicheng New Town.

However, this is a long-term plan, and it will take many years from site selection to implementation.

Just a large amount of construction funds is enough to trouble the municipal party committee and government.

Huaicheng has several prosperous areas.

Mu Guangsen chose a food street as his target tonight.

Here you can find local Huaicheng snacks, there are no high-end restaurants nearby, and the prices are affordable. It is a place frequented by ordinary people, and it is more down-to-earth.

As the car drove to the intersection of the food court, Mu Guangsen frowned as he looked at the various vehicles parked everywhere.

"Secretary Li, it's hard to find a parking space." Mu Guangsen was in trouble for a moment.

"There's no rush, just look for it slowly." Li Yuanlang looked up and saw a car just starting to start on the roadside not far away, so he pointed it out to Mu Guangsen.

"Okay." Mu Guangsen turned the steering wheel and waited until the car left, then parked the car in an empty space.

He took off his seat belt and was about to get out of the car when he saw a man in a military coat coming over and tapping on the car window with his fingers.

Mu Guangsen opened the car window and asked, "What's going on?"

The man tore up a piece of paper with a cold face and handed it to Mu Guangsen, "Five yuan an hour. If it exceeds two hours, eight yuan an hour."

Mu Guangsen was startled, "This is a public parking space, and it is not charged. Why do you charge money?"

The man's eyes widened, he spat on the ground, and said arrogantly: "You foreigner, didn't you see the word 'He' printed on the ground? This is all the territory of the He family. If you want to park, you have to pay, sir."

nonsense!"

With that said, he threw the torn piece of paper into the car and left without looking back.

Mu Guangsen looked at the piece of paper, smiled bitterly, and handed it to Li Yuanlang in the back seat, "Secretary Li, look, this is a privately printed parking notice with blurred handwriting and the parking time written on it."

Li Yuanlang took it and took a look, it was really true.

Especially the last one stamped with a seal, He Wenjiang.

Who is he? So arrogant.

"Let's go in first. Let's not cause trouble tonight. Just keep your ears and mouth open." Li Yuanlang warned in a low voice.

"I see."

Although it is already the depth of winter, as the New Year is approaching, many migrant workers are returning one after another, and the food street is crowded and lively.

Similar to other northwest regions, mutton is a specialty of Huaicheng.

There are many restaurants that specialize in mutton.

Walking on the street, you can smell the fragrance from afar.

There are many restaurants serving hand-caught mutton, mutton-shabu-shabu, and barbecue mutton.

Li Yuanlang and Mu Guangsen, who had not eaten to begin with, were instantly aroused by the steaming delicious food.

"Li..."

Mu Guangsen was about to call Li Yuanlang's official position, but was stopped by Li Yuanlang's eyes, so he quickly changed his words: "Boss, which flavor do you want to eat?"

"It's too cold." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but rub his hands, and said with a breath: "I see there are a lot of people cooking mutton in the restaurant in front. Let's drink some hot soup to warm up."

"OK."

The master and servant opened the door and came in. They opened the cotton curtain and the aroma of sesame paste hit them.

This mutton-shabu restaurant was very crowded, and the hall was almost full.

Diners and waiters shuttled back and forth. The diners were sweating profusely and the waiters were so busy that no one took the initiative to greet them.

It was Mu Guangsen who asked the waiter, hoping to find an empty table for them.

The waiter was a girl in her twenties. She was holding a piece of tableware in her hand. She looked up at the hall and said, "You can find a place by yourselves. I'm really too busy."

Mu Guangsen knew that Li Yuanlang just wanted to sit among the people so that he could hear what everyone was talking about and see if he could make any new discoveries, so he did not ask about the private room upstairs.

He stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe to look around, and finally saw an empty table, but the location was not ideal, right next to the bathroom.

No one wants to be next to dirty smells for fear of affecting their appetite.

Li Yuanlang didn't care, since he couldn't find anywhere else, so he had to make do with it.

After they were seated, a waiter finally came over and handed them a menu, asking them to choose and just tick the box.

Here you can order shabu-shabu dishes a la carte, as well as shabu-shabu set meals.

Mu Guangsen asked Li Yuanlang for his opinion, and Li Yuanlang gave him the power to order dishes and eat whatever he ordered.

Taking this opportunity, Li Yuanlang took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He observed the surrounding situation and raised his ears to listen to what everyone was talking about.

Mu Guangsen ordered a set meal worth more than 100 yuan, which was enough for the two of them to eat.

I saw at the table next to me, there were four big, muscular men. They drank from big cups and ate meat in big mouths. They were probably doing manual labor.

Li Yuanlang took advantage of the fire and heard the man who brought him a lighter said drunkenly: "If you offend someone from the He family, your skin will peel off even if you die."

It is also related to the surname "He".

Li Yuanlang noticed the parking incident just now.

He couldn't ask around blindly, for fear of arousing the other party's vigilance, so he could only smoke a cigarette and listen carefully.

"Brother Zheng, don't talk nonsense. You haven't seen the public security bureau arresting people everywhere these days. Be careful that the walls have ears and they will sweep you in too."

The man surnamed Zheng disagreed and said: "I am not afraid of my shadow being distorted if I am upright. How can it be illegal to say so?"

Someone among the companions immediately corrected him, "Don't mention it. In our Huaicheng, it's not okay to say it. It's against the law. Especially the two brothers from the He family."

"Shh!" Someone immediately stopped him with a gesture and said, "That's enough for now. Let's drink. After we finish drinking, go back and touch eight more times."

Seeing that they stopped talking, Li Yuanlang felt bored.

At this time, the charcoal-fired copper pot they ordered was brought out, and the hot-boiled dishes were placed on the table one by one.

Mu Guangsen drank mineral water while driving, and ordered a half-pound bottle of liquor for Li Yuanlang, asking him to drink some to drive away the cold.

That's fine, Li Yuanlang unscrewed the wine bottle and poured half a glass.

This is a local corn wine with a very good taste and a soft taste.

The local mutton was cooked in a steaming copper pot and dipped in sauce. It tasted really good, which whetted Li Yuanlang's appetite.
