At early nine o'clock in the evening, Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu rushed back to Huilong Town overnight. It was more than 30 kilometers from the county seat to the town. No matter how fast the drive was, it would take half an hour. The road was so bad that even the BMW SUV couldn't drive.
Lin Xiaohu didn't drink at night and drove steadily.
Yao Yuan recalled some of the information about Zhong Guangda that Lin Xiaohu had previously investigated. He lit a cigarette, lowered the car window, blew the hot wind, and said slowly, "Zhong Guangda has been the director of the County Transportation Bureau for nearly ten months.
, Judging from the previous situation, he wanted to do practical things, but he has been unable to open up the situation. To put it bluntly, he, as the director, has almost been sidelined. "
After saying that, he handed Lin Xiaohu a cigarette and lit it for him. Lin Xiaohu drove with one hand, holding the cigarette in his left hand and resting his arm on the car door. He took a puff and said, "Several deputy directors are all local cadres, and the Transportation Bureau also
It's under the charge of Quan Liuyou, Director Zhong is having a hard time."
"Traffic is a big problem. It depends on whether this fellow has the courage." Yao Yuan didn't have any good solutions. Zhong Guangda had to do the things himself.
Lin Xiaohu said, "If the county directly asks for money to be transferred to the county's financial account, will we really bear it?"
"This is a bad idea. We have to find a way. The first level of officialdom will kill people." Yao Yuan said helplessly.
Lin Xiaohu said, "I have an idea."
"Talk about it."
Lin Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "The town government and the Tea Master Beverage Company set up a temporary organization such as a project budget group to take over the project funds. This leading group will directly settle the settlements with the construction team, material suppliers, etc. according to the progress.
Labor fees can be settled between the town and migrant workers. The enterprise takes the lead, and the town government plays a supporting role. In fact, it is you who makes the decision."
Yao Yuan's eyes lit up, "Xiaohu, you can do it. This is a good idea."
"But it will be difficult to convince Mayor Xu if he doesn't agree. There will definitely be no problem with Mao Feng and Jin Zun." Lin Xiaohu said.
"I'll talk to Mayor Xu. He should agree." Yao Yuan took another puff of cigarette and said, "Do you think Mao Feng and Jin Zun are so easy to talk to? They almost agree to whatever we ask. You can come back later.
Check to see if they have any relationship with us, whether they are affiliated companies or partners of grassroots companies."
You just thought of it!
Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "I have checked it out a long time ago. Behind Mao Feng and Jin Zun is Southeast Industrial. Qi Junting helped them solve the capital problem of expanding their business and they went to Huilong Town to invest. Otherwise, you think it is so easy to attract investment.
Ah, over the years in Huilong Town, no one has done this, but they all failed in the end."
"I knew it!" Yao Yuan sighed, "I thought it was because of my personal charm and the favorable investment environment in Huilong Town."
Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "I knew you would be disappointed, but if you think about it from another perspective, Dongfeng Group's companies have tentacles all over the country. I think it's unrealistic for you to deliberately not look for your own company."
"I'm very torn. On the one hand, I want to prove my true ability and don't want to rely on my past achievements to underline my current efforts. On the other hand, I am eager to change the backward economy of the mountainous area. Alas."
Yao Yuan slowly shook his head and said, waving his hand, "By the way, what kind of company is Southeast Industrial? Who is Qi Junting?"
Lin Xiaohu was speechless.
It is not a good thing for a company to be too big. As a big boss, you don’t know how many companies you have and what they are called.
"The secondary company is a joint venture controlled by Yuanda Group. It initially made shoes, hats, clothes, etc., but now it seems to have diversified its development. Qi Junting... seems to be one of the shareholders." Lin Xiaohu said, "The asset scale is not very large, so it should be
There are probably more than a dozen or two billion, but to Mao Feng and others, it is a giant, and that’s all I know.”
Lin Xiaohu didn't know much about the situation. Also because there were too many subordinate companies, he could only learn about it temporarily.
Yao Yuan sighed again and was speechless.
Driving to a section of road with no shops in front and no villages behind, he turned a corner and the headlights swept across him. Suddenly he caught sight of a figure. Lin Xiaohu subconsciously stepped on the brakes. The man raised his hands to block his eyes and looked this way.
It's a girl.
Why are there girls wandering around on the roadside this late at night?
Carrying a schoolbag, like a student.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and opened the car door and got out of the car at the same time. The advantage of this is that if they encounter an ambush, they will have two targets for the other party. When the other party cannot determine which one is the ambush target, they can buy some time.
Avoid being defeated individually.
Lin Xiaohu touched the holstered pistol at his waist and glanced around cautiously. Not only did he learn guard skills from Jiang Yong, but he also underwent more than a month of targeting at the Public Security Department before following Yao Yuan to work in a government agency.
Sex training.
There is obviously no need to worry about safety issues. Less than twenty seconds after their car stopped, another identical BMW off-road vehicle stopped behind. It was the security team led by Chen Chao. As long as Yao Yuan went out, they would
Always on guard in secret.
However, they were obviously too careful.
There was no one else but the little girl in front of the car, about fourteen or fifteen years old with a ponytail, who was carrying a schoolbag.
Yao Yuan looked at the pony-tailed girl, frowned and asked, "Little girl, where are you going this late at night? Which school are you from?"
The abduction case of Liu Chunju just happened, and Yao Yuan attaches great importance to this issue.
Ma Wei was a bold man. He faced Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu, clenched his fists tightly, looked at Yao Yuan without fear, and said disdainfully, "Who are you? You don't care which school I go to."
!”
Yao Yuan looked surprised. He looked at the little girl carefully and found that she looked familiar. He found that she was still a beauty, tall, slender and well-developed. She looked a bit like Chen Farong, but she had quite a bad temper.
"I am Yao Yuan, the deputy mayor of Huilong Town. Are you from Huilong Town? Are you going home?" Yao Yuan asked again.
The pony-tailed girl was stunned and looked Yao Yuan up and down, "Are you Yao Yuan? Are you fake?"
Yao Yuan became more and more strange, and asked with a smile, "Do you know me? Why do you think I am fake?"
Lin Xiaohu suddenly said, "Are you Long Wu?"
The pony-tailed girl was even more stunned and looked at Lin Xiaohu, "Do you know me?"
Lin Xiaohu and Yao Yuan looked at each other, and Yao Yuan was immediately happy. He also saw that the little girl in front of him was undoubtedly Long Wu, the youngest of the Long family. No wonder she looked so familiar.
"You, your second brother, and your fourth brother look alike, just follow your mother." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Yao Yuan has been to the Long family more than once. Father Long is not tall, about 1.7 meters, which is shorter among men. Mother Long is 1.67 meters, which is taller among women. There are five children in the Long family, and the eldest is
He and the third child follow their father, they are not tall but stocky. The second, fourth and fifth children follow their mother, they are all taller. The tallest one is the character "龙", which is 1.8 meters tall.
The youngest of the Long family in front of me is at least 1.7 meters tall, much taller than her mother. She might even be taller now that she is in junior high school.
In Dalong Village, the Long family has relatively good economic conditions and a large labor force, otherwise they would not be able to pay the family planning fine.
Yao Yuan said, "Get in the car and we'll take you back."
Long Wu hesitated.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Why, you still don't believe that I am Yao Yuan? Yes, keep this vigilance in the future, but now you have to get in the car. I will take you to the police station. Your fourth brother is on duty at the police station. Let him take you back."
Now is not the time to ask why Long Wu walked back to Huilong Town.
The other party knew that his fourth brother worked at the police station, so it seemed that it was really Yao Yuan. Long Wu thought about this clearly, and immediately smiled and said, "You are really Yao Yuan. I heard that the second brother and the fourth brother said that there is a deputy police officer."
My name is Yao Yuan, and you are very young. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Have you started working since you graduated from high school?”
This girl is still a familiar girl and very courageous.
She had obviously never been in a car before, and she didn't know how to open the door. Yao Yuan opened the door for her, and she directly opened her legs and got into the car, bumping her head, which made Yao Yuan laugh.
On the road again, Yao Yuandao said, "I thought the whole town knew that there was a college student cadre in the town."
"Yes, yes, you are a college student, I remembered, but you look so young." Long Wu said in rapid succession.
Yao Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back. Long Wu's eyes were shining with clear light in the darkness, and he sighed in his heart, youth is so good.
Long Wu held the driver's seat and the passenger seat with both hands, his head sticking out from the middle, looking at the center console curiously, and then at the road ahead illuminated by the headlights, and said, "Mayor Yao,
How old are you this year? I heard someone said that you are only twenty years old and you are the mayor of Baby Town."
Yao Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Mayor Wawa, are you saying that I can't do things well because I have nothing to say? I graduated from college and started working, so you don't care."
Long Wu really counted on his fingers and said, "You are in the first grade of elementary school at the age of six, six years of elementary school, six years of middle school, four years of college, sixteen years, then you are twenty-two years old, only twenty-two years old."
, that’s very young too!”
"I'm the same age as your third brother, and your third brother's son is already three years old, so I'm not young anymore." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Long Wu snorted and said, "Nowadays, late marriage and late childbearing are advocated. Third brother is also true. Why marry so early? The law stipulates that the age of marriage for men is twenty-two years old."
Rural people get married early, and many people get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Just because they work in the fields all year round, many of them look older.
Yao Yuan was quite surprised, "You still understand the law, that's good."
"I'm in the second semester of my third year of junior high school, and I'll pass the high school entrance examination soon." Long Wu said proudly, and suddenly thought that the young deputy mayor was a college student, and shrank his head, "But I'm not as good as you, you are a college student."
Yao Yuan laughed loudly and thought this little girl was very cute pretending to be an adult.
If a person's first twenty years are divided into the flowering season and the rainy season, then the junior high school stage is the flowering season, truly carefree. It is the time when love begins, when one begins to long for love and the future. At the high school stage, with the college entrance examination,
As the holiday approaches, the pressure is increasing, and because the physical development has entered a critical period, the body and mind are affected. As the knowledge increases, there is more sorrow and more pain.
People born in the 1980s need to experience more in the first thirty years of their lives, and these are often changes, such as educational reform, medical reform, and institutional reform, which affect the entire life of people born in the 1980s.
When they went to school, education was facing industrialization, and families were overwhelmed by the high tuition fees. When they were admitted to college in ten years, the state no longer assigned jobs, and choosing their own careers became a news keyword.
, the nine-year compulsory education finally started to be tuition-free, but they missed this benefit.
I finally gained a firm foothold in society, and when it was time to get married and have children, I encountered the hottest real estate market head-on. I was put off by the high housing prices, and after using up the savings of two generations, I finally had a home in the city.
Wherever they live, they are immediately faced with the burden of raising children and old age.
As a result, they became more reticent and cautious in their dealings with others. They locked their past love letters in drawers, buried their first love engraved in their bones deep in their hearts, and worked in silence like old scalpers.
As the saying goes, these people are not dead yet, they are just silently carrying the burden of society.
Yao Yuan, who was born in the 1970s, chatted with someone of Long Wu's age for the first time. He saw in her the optimism of people born in the 1980s, and also thought of the cruel reality they would face in the future, which made him sigh.
In a period of social change, no one can survive alone. In the process of the formation of a new society, someone is destined to pay the price, such as the laid-off post-50s and post-60s, and the separated post-80s, it seems that only the post-70s generation
They escaped by chance, but looking at this period of history, who can say that those born in the 1970s were lucky?
What needs to be done, what must be done, this is what Yao Yuan has been thinking since he entered politics, and his sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger.
After chatting and almost arriving in town, Yao Yuan suddenly asked, "Xiaowu, why are you running home at this time? Today is not Friday."
Arriving at school on Sunday afternoon and going home after class on Friday afternoon is an unchanging life for rural children studying in county middle schools.
Long Wu curled his lips and whispered, "You can come back if you want."
Yao Yuan's intuition told him that something must be wrong with this little girl.
"If there's something wrong, tell me, I can help." Yao Yuanda said.
Long Wu snorted, "No one can help me with emotional matters. Oh, don't ask, why is it that the mayor is more troubled than our Xiuhua?"
Lin Xiaohu couldn't help but laugh. No one or any woman dared to talk to Yao Yuan like this.
"You want to gossip about me, right? OK, then I won't ask. I'll let your fourth brother ask you. If necessary, your second brother will ask you. Your second brother is in the new school shed." Yao Yuan said.
Long Wu suddenly became anxious, "No, no, no, don't tell my second brother, Mayor Yao, listen to me, I have nothing to do, I just want to go home and see you, please don't tell my second brother, okay?
We have been chatting for such a long time, and I feel that we are very compatible, so we are friends. You can't betray your friends, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu couldn't help laughing. They were obviously still young, but they tried their best to act like adults. This was probably their youth.
"Why are you smiling? What's so funny!" Long Wu frowned and gritted his silver teeth.
Yao Yuan put away his smile and said, "Since we are friends, shouldn't you talk to your friends about the troubles you are facing? Friends should talk to each other."
