After Du Jingjing left, Shen Tong returned to the coffee shop, sat there without saying a word, and drank the rest of the coffee in silence. He temporarily put Xu Xia's affairs aside and found a quiet place to call Wu Jiangkai and tell him what he had learned. He was informed of the situation.
Wu Jiangkai was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time and said, "Has Liu Haidong contacted you?"
"not yet."
"You and Liu Haidong should discuss this matter." Wu Jiangkai did not express his position clearly, but made such an ambiguous statement.
Shen Tong hung up the phone, stood up and walked out of the coffee shop, and drove to Kaiyuan District according to the address left by Xing Lina.
On the way, I received a call from Liu Haidong. He said that he had arrived in Longzhong City. After a brief communication, they decided to meet at Jingxiu Garden.
Kaiyuan District is the political, commercial, and cultural center of Longzhong City, and is the most prosperous area in Longzhong City. In recent years, especially in the late 1990s, tall buildings have risen from the ground. It can be said that changes occur every year, and every day The same appearance. Shen Tong has stayed in Longzhong City for almost five years and almost doesn't know the way around anymore.
Jingxiu Garden is a newly developed real estate, consisting of 10 buildings, 4 of which are 30-story top-level residential buildings. It is considered the most high-end community in Longzhong City. The community is adjacent to the city's key middle school, next to a large supermarket, and behind It is a man-made park with convenient transportation, convenient travel and beautiful environment. It is a landmark building in Longzhong City and an ecologically harmonious and livable "city within a city". Of course, those who can afford a house here are either rich or wealthy. , it is naturally divided into classes, clearly showing to the world that this is a wealthy area.
Since the reform and opening up, after more than ten years of primitive capital accumulation, some people have become rich first. Those who have become rich have never thought about driving the remaining people to become rich. The "small farmer mentality" has gradually expanded, and they have begun to squander money wantonly and purchase large quantities of goods. Luxury cars and mansions are used to meet the material and cultural needs that are owed.
Dongjiang Province is relatively backward and is in the early stage of its economy entering the fast lane. The large demand for energy from all over the country has provided the driving force for the development of Dongjiang Province and has cultivated a number of "leaders in getting rich." The transformation from poor farmers to landlords has Time could not accept the money rolling in, so the poor peasants stood on the side of the landlords, expanded their land, and plundered wildly, leading to serious polarization between the rich and the poor. Compared with those who could buy a house in Jingxiu Garden, more people People have just reached the basic level of food and clothing, and the dream of a well-off life is out of reach.
Shen Tong stood at the entrance of Jingxiu Garden and looked up at this coveted "rich area". He was shocked. Not only was he shocked by the magnificence of the community, but he also lamented the twisted reflection of the nature of human nature in this materialistic society. , in order to satisfy their greedy desires, they use any means to make money in disguised form.
If Wu Jiangkai asks Pang Huaiyuan to do something big or to put a "stepping stone" under his feet, he will have to pay wealth that ordinary people cannot exchange for in a lifetime or even several lifetimes. If he still wants to ask for something from him in the future, will he still have to do it? What about paying a greater price?
"Hey -" Shen Tong sighed longly, expressing how helpless and desolate he was.
After a while, Liu Haidong arrived. Shen Tong called him into the car and briefly explained the situation. Liu Haidong did not show any weird behavior, but said calmly: "It doesn't matter how much money you spend on things that can be settled with money."
Shen Tong handed over the note and asked cautiously: "What does Secretary Wu mean?"
Liu Haidong took the note and glanced at it, then raised his head to a tall building in front of him and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Secretary Wu. This is my business. Go, get off the car!"
Liu Haidong's words gave Shen Tong an education. From a personal point of view, he always thought that he was doing things for Wu Jiangkai and did not really take Wu Jiangkai's affairs as his own. To put it bluntly, he had not yet merged with Wu Jiangkai. For one thing, Liu Haidong is different. On the one hand, it shows that he regards Wu Jiangkai's affairs as his own. On the other hand, he indirectly excuses Wu Jiangkai. If something unexpected happens in the future, it has nothing to do with Wu Jiangkai. Liu Haidong takes it as his own. Having all the responsibilities placed on him shows his determination to be loyal. Shen Tong still lacks the firepower in his career as a secretary.
Liu Haidong has such courage at a young age. It must be said that everyone's success is due to extraordinary courage and unique survival skills. Shen Tong admires Liu Haidong who is walking in the front from the bottom of his heart. If possible, make friends with such a person. It is a great wealth in life.
Although it was just the Chinese New Year, the sales office of Jingxiu Garden was already bustling with people, and the huge sales hall was packed with people. After walking in, Liu Haidong looked around, walked straight to the service desk, pushed the note over, and said to the waiter. : "I bought this house."
Seeing Liu Haidong's extraordinary move, the waiter did not dare to neglect, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, sit here, I will explain to you in detail the basic situation of our Jingxiu Garden."
Liu Haidong said impatiently: "No introduction is needed, I want this house, and I want it now."
When meeting a cheerful person, the waiter lowered his head and laughed, but still reminded: "Sir, the apartment you want belongs to a high-rise building, and the price may be slightly more expensive."
"It doesn't matter how much or how little you have. I'll pay in full and you won't miss a penny." Liu Haidong thought that the other party was afraid that he would have no money, so he said arrogantly.
The waiter saw that the person on the other side was not friendly, so he said: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I will check it for you."
Liu Haidong and Shen Tong were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting, waiting for the other party's query results.
After a while, the waiter came over and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, the apartment you want has been booked. Do you want to choose another one?"
"What!" Liu Haidong stood up and said, "No, I want this house and I won't consider anything else."
"Sir, I'm so sorry. It's already booked and there's nothing we can do about it," the waiter said.
"I'll add money to the head office, right? How much? Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, or fifty thousand? It doesn't matter!" Liu Haidong said richly.
The waiter smiled apologetically and said: "Sir, this is not a question of whether to pay more or not, but..."
"Yes, yes! Don't tell me it's useless. If you can be the master, you can make a reservation. If you can't be the master, call your manager and I'll tell him." Liu Haidong sat down on the sofa. Don't talk to the waiter anymore.
The waiter left, and soon a young man in a suit came over and said politely: "Hello, sir, I am the manager here. If you have any questions, you can talk to me directly."
Liu Haidong pointed to the sofa with disgust and said: "Sit down, sit down, sit down and talk."
