Chapter 294 The riddle
Chapter 294: The Mystery
After leaving the construction site of the medical school, Zeng Yi led Long Meixin around the Hi-Tech Park. Zeng Yi took her to see any projects in the park that could be taken. Of course, he went to Xingxing Lake project site, but he didn't go inside, but just drove around Xingxing Lake.
After turning around, Long Meixin said, "I didn't expect that the stinky salted fish would turn over! The dealer who used to be only able to criticize documents actually opened his mind after arriving in Nanjiang and started to take advantage of this kind of market. It seems that the land and soil of Nanjiang not only nourishes people, but also strengthens the brain and enlightens the mind!"
Zeng Yi coughed and said, "It should be 'Shi Shi's three days away from you, please look at him with admiration'! Why did these nice words change their taste when you hear your praise? I don't know if Mr. Chang should be happy or sad."
"He is happy and uncomfortable, what does it have to do with me!"
Long Meixin glanced at it and then lay comfortably in the seat. She still understood it better. Chang Junlong's vision was very limited, otherwise he would not have made bad tricks that would make people find fault last time in Beijing. And such a large project in front of him is not only large in scale, but also has an orderly planning and reasonable layout. This is not something Chang Junlong can do. It seems that this Xingxing Lake project still has some stories.
After moving in the park, it was getting late. Zeng Yi showed up at the management committee and brought Long Meixin into Rongcheng. Long Meixin came from all the way, so it was inevitable to welcome him.
Long Meixin knew not many people in Nanjiang, only Wei Xiangnan, Tang Haoran, Du Ruo and a few. Unfortunately, the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee had an important dinner tonight, and Fang Nan attended, so Tang Haoran had to follow him and could not come. Wei Xiangnan could not come either. Tang Xiuquan suddenly wanted to go to the north to see the ice sculptures. When Zeng Yi called, Wei Xiangnan had just landed in a northern province with his parents-in-law in the snowy and ice, so it was naturally impossible for him to come back.
So the welcome banquet at night was only Zeng Yi, Long Meixin and Du Ruo.
Du Ruo attaches great importance to Long Meixin's arrival. When he went to the capital a few days ago, Long Meixin's hospitality was very enthusiastic. Now that he is in his own territory, Du Ruo naturally needs to be more grand and enthusiastic.
The welcome banquet was located in the "Sijiqing" club, which is a new store that Venus just opened. After Venus became bigger, it was inevitable that there would be a mixture of dragons and snakes. A small businessman like Yang Baocai could enter even after paying the membership fee. Although there was a membership hierarchy system and the top-level places were not easy to consume, it was still inconvenient to enter and exit in the same building.
Wei Zi just opened this new store again and its positioning is more high-end. Yang Baocai will definitely not be able to enter this store in the future.
Zeng Yi and the others arrived at the door of Si Jiqing. Before the car was parked, Du Ruo walked out of the inside with a pale face. Wei Zi had just followed behind sweating, explaining constantly, and his expression was very nervous.
"Du Director Du!" Zeng Yi pushed open the car door and said, "What's wrong?"
As soon as Wei Zi saw Zeng Yi, he hurried forward and asked for help, "Director Zeng, Fatty Wei made a very unforgivable mistake today. Please help me ask Director Du for a love affair and ask me to apologize, but don't be angry!"
Zeng Yi glanced at Du Ruo's expression and thought to himself what Wei Zi did just now, and he actually made Du Ruo angry to this extent. He said, "Tell me first, what exactly is it!"
Wei Zi stomped his feet and said regretfully: "Director Du is going to entertain distinguished guests today and ordered a 'Manjianghong' hall with me. It's all my fault for being incompetent. He actually asked someone to replace the Manjianghong Hall."
Zeng Yi knew why Du Ruo was so angry. Man Jianghong is the largest and best private room here. Du Ruo said on the phone before, saying that he had already booked the best private room in Sijiqing to welcome Long Meixin, but now the private room has been taken away by someone else. Then Du Ruo's words became a fart. Do you want to tell Long Meixin again: Sorry, the best private room has been replaced by others, and I have booked the second best one for you?
Besides, Du Ruo is a person who stomped his feet on the ground in Rongcheng, and the whole Rongcheng is trembling. Not to mention that the box was greeted in advance, even if there was no reservation, as long as you want to use it, you have to make it come out immediately. But now it has been the opposite. The box that has been booked is for others to take over, so where can you put Du Ruo's face?
"Mr. Wei, this is your fault!"
Zeng Yi looked at Wei Zigang and felt that Wei Zigang was too unkind to do this. Those who could steal Du Ruo's private room must have a background, but Wei Zigang has been in this industry for more than a day or two. You just want to make a random reason, such as water, electricity, the table is broken, and the chair is chopped, so you can cover it up. How can you get things to this point!
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault!" Wei Zigang's clothes on his chest and back were wet with sweat. He bowed to Du Ruo directly and said, "Du Du, just spare me this time, I can kowtow to you and apologize!"
Du Ruo snorted coldly, ignored Wei Zigang, but said to Zeng Yi: "I am ashamed, my old face is so embarrassed that I have no place to put it."
Zeng Yi said, "Du Du, it's actually my fault. I have already taken the initiative and recommended another place to Meixin. I even booked a seat. I was going to call to notify you, but when I thought it was just right, I just came over and picked you up directly... Ah, you see, blame me, blame me."
Du Ruo didn't know whether Zeng Yi was lenient with him or whether this was true, but he felt much better. If Long Meixin really had a meal in the changed box, he would really have no face to face others in the future.
Zeng Yi raised his hand, opened the car door, and said, "Director Du, please get in the car. It's all my fault today. I will punish myself three times later and apologize to Director Du!"
Du Ruo couldn't say anything, now that's all he could do. He raised his eyebrows and got into the car with a serious expression. Zeng Yi then closed the door and turned around and sat in the driver's seat.
"Director Du... Director Zeng!" Wei Zigang stood beside the car, staring at Zeng Yi with a hint of pleading.
"That's it!" Zeng Yi shook his head helplessly, and then drove away. He couldn't help Wei Zigang in this matter, so staying would only make Du Ruo even more angry.
Long Meixin didn't know what was going on yet. Why did she leave again when she arrived at the place where she was eating and she didn't even enter the door. She said, "Where are you going?"
"It'll be here soon, you'll know when it's here!" Zeng Yi said.
Du Ruo knew that Zeng Yi had not changed the situation. Thinking about it, how could he do such abrupt thing with Zeng Yi's style of doing things? He just helped him resolve the embarrassment.
Long Meixin said "hmm" and then put it in the seat again without asking any more questions.
Du Ruo was surprised to see this scene. The relationship between Long Meixin and Zeng Yi is absolutely extraordinary! If someone else is not opposed to changing the place, at least he will have to ask what happened. Long Meixin acts like a completely entrusted to Zeng Yi to arrange it. She has no objection to any arrangements made by Zeng Yi, which seems to have exceeded the scope of trust.
Du Ruo actually attached great importance to this welcoming banquet today, so he took a step ahead of time. Unexpectedly, this step made him so depressed.
When he walked into Sijiqing, he didn't meet Wei Zigang, so Du Ruo went to the private room directly. When he opened the door of the private room, he was a little confused. It was already full of people. The head was Ji Anmin, the director of Rongcheng Grain Bureau. Wei Zigang was standing in the private room and was explaining what to Ji Anmin.
When Ji Anmin saw Du Ruo, he stood up and walked over. His first sentence was: "Du Du, I'm really sorry. Today, we have to change the two of us to set up a box!"
If the director of a grain bureau dares to speak to the director of the *** bureau like this, everyone will definitely think that the director of the grain bureau must be crazy and seeking death. No matter how you compare, the grain bureau and the *** bureau are far behind each other.
But Ji Anmin said this because his relationship with Du Ruo is so familiar!
Du Ruo was a cadre promoted by Qin Liangxin, the *** of the Rong City Committee. Ji Anmin was no one else. He was Qin Liangxin's brother-in-law. Because he had no political ability, he only became the director of the Food Bureau. He was usually very peaceful and did not cause any trouble for Qin Liangxin. He had a strong relationship with Du Ruo for more than ten years.
Ji Anmin's father-in-law celebrated his 70th birthday today. There was a grand celebration. Ji Anmin took the lead in holding a birthday party. Many aunts and aunts came, but they couldn't hold the private room they had booked. When he learned that the private room was ordered by Du Ruo, he didn't see him at all, so he changed it himself.
No matter how reluctant Du Ruo was, he could not help Ji Anmin's request. First, the friendship was there, and second, he was at the critical moment of promotion. This matter was no longer a secret within the Rongcheng system. If he did not lend the box to Ji Anmin today, he would probably not be dawn tomorrow. People in Rongcheng would know that Du Ruo was a man who "forgot his old master with a new boss" and an ungrateful bastard.
Du Ruo exchanged the private room to Ji Anmin and sent a big red envelope, but he felt very angry. The anger was naturally vented on Wei Zigang and a top private club. I think it was just the people who swept the streets, and they all knew which private room I, Du Ruo, had booked here today!
The car drove for more than ten minutes and turned in an alley not far from Rongcheng University. Then I saw a fiery red sign in front of me: Nanyun Liu Laosan bacon.
Long Meixin got out of the car and looked at the sign and said, "Does the hotel run by people in Nanyun County?"
Du Ruo also looked at the signboard and felt a little worried. Although Long Meixin didn't mind, this level seemed to be too low.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Yi said: "The authentic Nanyun flavor! The old man likes to eat the most is made from this restaurant. After eating it, remember to bring some to the old man!"
Long Meixin's face was a little surprised, "Did this store make it? You have to try it!" As he said that, Long Meixin raised her foot and walked inside.
Du Ruo immediately put down his contempt for this inconspicuous restaurant. It was really not big. If there was an immortal, it would be a spirit. No need to think about it, he also knew that the old man Zeng Yi must have a great background.
Although the door face is inconspicuous, the decoration inside is still very good, clean, tidy, simple and authentic, and it feels like eating at home.
Zeng Yi came to the counter in front, knocked on it twice, and asked, "Is Uncle Liu San in the store?"
The waiter raised his head and said, "You are looking for our chairman, right? He is in the kitchen, may I ask you..."
Zeng Yi smiled. This Liu Laosan even made a chairman come. He said, "Please inform him and say that an old friend from Nanyun County has arrived. My surname is Zeng. In addition, open a clean private room for us!"
The waiter didn't know Zeng Yi's origin, but seeing that the three of them were of good temperament, they didn't dare to neglect them. After taking the three to the private room upstairs, they hurried to the kitchen to find Liu Laosan.
After a while, Liu Laosan knocked on the door and came in, and he was wearing a cooking apron on his waist. When he saw that it was Zeng Yi, Liu Laosan was very excited. He wiped the apron with both hands several times before he hurriedly reached over and said, "Chief Zeng... Director Zeng... Director Zeng, why is it you!"
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Liu San is so polite to me, why dare you? Just call me Zeng Yi."
"That won't work! You are the leader of an official, you have to call him that... that..." Liu Laosan smiled a little embarrassedly, thought hard for a long time, and suddenly stomped his feet and said, "Yes, it's the official title! You have to call him the official title! That's what my girl said."
Zeng Yi laughed loudly, "Don't listen to Siqi's nonsense. Our own comrades will only use the official title when they meet. There is no such statement to old friends."
Liu Laosan smiled honestly, "I don't understand anyway. Whatever the girl says is what she is. She is educated!"
"I was so embarrassed when Uncle Liu San's store opened, I couldn't come here either." Zeng Yi pointed to the two people at the table and said, "These are two of my friends. Today I specially called them to support you!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Laosan's hands kept wiping around on the apron. He wanted to reach out and say hello, but seeing that the two of them were very generous, they couldn't stretch out their hands. Finally, they simply gave up and said, "Sit! Sit! Zeng Yi, sit down quickly, just greet your friends, leave the meal to me, I'll cook myself and cook a few specialties!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle San!" Zeng Yi watched Liu Lao San go out, then sat down with a smile, and said, "Uncle San is a very enthusiastic person. I sent the Nanyun Health Bureau at that time. It was the reception banquet on the first day of work that Uncle San invited him. At that time, his restaurant had only four tables."
When Long Meixin heard this, she giggled and said, "I didn't expect you to be defeated too!"
"As a leader, you naturally have to eat everything, as long as it is not for public funds!" Zeng Yi smiled and said nothing.
Du Ruo also smiled slightly. He got up step by step, so he naturally knew the rules. No leader was appointed on the first day and the unit did not hold a welcome banquet. It seemed that the embarrassment Zeng Yi encountered in Nanyun County was even greater than his embarrassment today.
Zeng Yi's phone rang at this time. He took it out and saw that it was called by Bai Jiashu.
"Director Zeng, it's me!" Bai Jiashu greeted him on the phone and asked politely: "Are you in Sijiqing now? That's right, there are some questions about investment preferential policies, and I want to ask Director Zeng in person."
Zeng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Even Bai Jiashu knew that he was going to Sijiqing. It seemed that there must be someone else who knew about it. Today, this matter was a bit interesting. He said, "I am in the Liu Laosan bacon restaurant near Rongcheng University!"
Bai Jiashu knew that Zeng Yi agreed to go there and said, "If I don't disturb you, then I'll go there now?"
"Okay, let's talk to each other!" Zeng Yi responded lightly, then hung up the phone.
"There are still friends coming?" Du Ruo asked.
Zeng Yi shook his head. He and Bai Jiashu were not friends. He said: "The young master of Vice Chairman Bai of the Provincial CPPCC, I have to ask me some things. I don't know who said I'm going to have dinner at Sijiqing tonight, but I ended up having a vain!"
Du Ruo immediately came to his senses. It turned out that someone deliberately made trouble from it, and asked Ji Anmin to "rob" the private room he had booked.
Long Meixin sat there drinking tea, she had no idea which person Vice Chairman Bai was.
Zeng Yi remembered something and said, "Master Du may not know that Mr. Bai and Miss Long are old friends."
Du Ruo was a little surprised. It seemed impossible. I remember that in the Fire Tree Yinhua, Bai Jiashu was beaten up by Zeng Yi and was detained for a while. Can he be friends with Long Meixin?
"Who are you talking about?"
Long Meixin looked at Zeng Yi in confusion. What's going on? She didn't even know who Vice Chairman Bai was, so how could she be an old friend to Vice Chairman Bai's son? Long Meixin usually gives people the feeling that she is very strong and smart, but at this time she couldn't think of anything. She looked confused and looked very cute, which was a completely different feeling.
Zeng Yi pointed to his teeth, then smiled, picked up the teacup and drank water.
Long Meixin suddenly understood who it was and said, "It's that..." She pointed to the corner of her eyebrows again.
There was a conspicuous black mole on the corner of Bai Jiashu's eyebrows, and Long Meixin had some impression. At that time, the two had a dispute on the highway. Zeng Yi knocked off his teeth.
Zeng Yi nodded, meaning you guessed it right.
Du Ruo looked at it in a daze, not knowing what puzzle these two were fighting, but he even affirmed his opinion. The relationship between these two was definitely not ordinary, and they all had a clear understanding.
After a while, Bai Jiashu called again. He had already arrived at the restaurant entrance and saw that Zeng Yi was not convenient.
Long Meixin stood up at this time. She didn't want to meet Bai Jiashu and said, "I'll go wash my hands!"
While Long Meixin was out and the Bai Family Tree had not arrived, Du Ruo said, "Zeng Yi, what do you think if you shouldn't ask?" When Du Ruo said, his eyes looked at the direction of the private room. He asked Zeng Yi's question about Long Meixin.
Zeng Yi certainly understood. After a moment of silence, he said, "Some things, if you don't get them, you will really get them!"
Du Ruo didn't say anything more. Although Zeng Yi said this strangely, he still understood it well.
Chapter completed!
