On the morning of the third year of junior high school, Zeng Yi was having dinner at Shao Haibo's house and heard someone shouting in the yard outside: "May I ask, is this Dean Shao's home?"

Shao Haibo put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house. He saw a cadre standing in the yard. At the age of 35 or 36, he said, "I am Shao Haibo, may I ask you..."

"Hello, Dean Shao!" The man immediately changed his smile, stretched out his hands and came to Shao Haibo, and said enthusiastically: "I wish you a happy New Year to Dean Shao, happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Shao Haibo mechanically held the other party's hand, confused. He didn't know who the other party was, "You are..."

"I'll introduce myself. My name is Zheng Nengfu, and I'm the deputy director of our Baima County Government Office." The man introduced politely.

Shao Haibo said "Oh" and said, "It turns out it's Director Zheng, hello, hello." But he still didn't understand the other party's purpose.

"Director Shao, that's right. Our Baima County has a tradition. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the county will invite talented and handsome men from our Baima County to hold a New Year tea party. Everyone is the pride of us Baima people. We are usually busy traveling outside, so it is rare to go back to our hometown once. Now that we are back, it's the festival again. Naturally, the people in our hometown need to warmly receive it!" Zheng Nengfu smiled and pulled open his briefcase, took out a red invitation, and respectfully handed it to Shao Haibo, saying, "The time is set tonight. President Shao is a big shot in our Baima, so please be sure to enjoy it."

Shao Haibo knew what was going on, took the invitation and said, "It must be there! Thank you very much for letting Director Zheng go this trip!"

"It's not hard, no hard work, President Shao is the hard work!" Zheng Nengfu said a few politely, then offered his farewell, "Then I won't disturb Dean Shao, see you tonight!"

"See you tonight!"

Shao Haibo sent Zheng Nengfu to the gate, then returned to the house with the invitation, put it on the dining table, and said, "These parents are really hardworking."

Zeng Yi smiled and heard what he said just now, saying, "By the mountain and the water, our Baima County is a poor county, an inland county, and nothing can be relied on. What if you ask them to do, you can only think of more ways yourself."

Shao Haibo shook his head helplessly and said, "Eat, eat!"

Now all over the country are attracting investment, and the competition is very fierce. In order to attract funds and projects, officials from all over the country have tried their best.

If you want to invest in a foreign merchant in a place that is not familiar with, it may be more difficult, unless your place has inherent advantages that other places cannot give; but it will be less difficult to invite outstanding people who have gone out of the local area. After all, it is a hometown, so you have to invest a little more!

In addition, local officials who work in other places are also an important resource. If the relationship is done well and done in place, it will not only bring several major projects to the hometown, but may also provide assistance to local officials in their careers.

Therefore, the county generally grasps the movements of these elites outside the country in real time. The so-called New Year tea party is just a reason for being upright and open. The important thing is to encourage these people outside to offer suggestions for the development of their hometown, or even contribute money.

After dinner, Xu Li drove over, and the two put some gifts in the trunk and entered the county town.

Zeng Yi and Shao Haibo are both people who are raised in Baima County. They usually come back once. Since they are back this time, they naturally have to visit some good friends and old acquaintances who have not seen each other for a long time. This time they went to the city, they mainly went to see several teachers from the county middle school when they were in school.

Before getting on the bus, Shao Haibo brought another 10,000 yuan in cash. The money was to deal with the friendship tea party. He, the director of a provincial human resources hospital in another province, could not bring any project to Baima County. At that time, he would take out the 10,000 yuan, which would be said to be a minor person, a low position and a shallow power, and would not be able to help his hometown. Although this 10,000 yuan is small, it is his own intention and he will contribute his little efforts to the construction of his hometown.

This is also the choice of many people. Those with limited abilities are only 10,000 or 20,000, and those with great abilities are only 100,000 or 80,000 or even hundreds of thousands. The main thing is to spend money to buy a cleanliness, so as not to bother the officials of Baima County. Their business outside is already smooth, but if they want to invest in their hometown, there is a great risk. Once the project fails, the loss will not be this little money.

After visiting the teacher when he was in school, the time was almost over. Xu Li drove Shao Haibo to the county party committee in Baima County.

Standing at the door, it was Zheng Nengfu who was in charge of the reception during the day. He saw a luxury off-road vehicle coming from afar, thinking who is this? He actually drove such a generous car. The price of this car is probably one-tenth of Baima County's annual fiscal revenue, maybe even higher.

Thinking of this, Zheng Nengfu took two steps forward, a smile appeared on his face, ready to welcome the distinguished guests.

The car parked steadily in front of Zheng Nengfu, Xu Li jumped out of the driver's seat, looked around, and then reached out to open the door of the back seat.

Zheng Nengfu thought to himself that the driver knew it was not easy to mess with at first sight, and his eyes made people feel intimidated at first sight.

When he saw the car door, he stretched out his hand and greeted him with a smile. However, Zheng Nengfu was surprised to see clearly that it was Shao Haibo sitting in the car. During the day, he was the one he invited. To be honest, he was just dealing with errands and did not attach much importance to it, because although Shao Haibo was of a high level, he was from another province after all, and in a hospital unit, which was not a serious government sequence.

If Shao Haibo is a deputy department-level cadre with real power in the province, then the person who sent the invitation today may be a member of the county party committee standing committee and the director of the county party committee office, or even the county magistrate ***, and it is impossible that he is just the deputy director of the county government office. The level and treatment here are several levels apart.

"Director Shao, you are here!" Zheng Nengfu stretched out his hand, bent his waist a little, his tone was full of enthusiasm: "Welcome, welcome!"

It turns out that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. When they saw the luxury car, Zheng Nengfu immediately changed into honorific words.

"White Horse is my hometown. Director Zheng is so polite. He doesn't treat me as a white horse, right?" Shao Haibo smiled and joked.

"Where are there!" Zheng Nengfu waved his hand quickly and smiled, "To be honest, I didn't treat Dean Shao as a guest at all. In my heart, I treat Dean Shao as a relative. When the relatives come, how can I not receive grandly!"

Shao Haibo laughed and said, Zheng Nengfu is really good at making a fool of himself! He came here today and had to come. He worked in another place, but his family was still in Baima County after all.

Zeng Yi got out of the car at this time, looked around and said, "Senior Brother, Xu Li and I are walking around the county town. If you have the matter here, just call me."

Shao Haibo nodded and said, "Okay! You guys make arrangements for yourself!"

Seeing that Zeng Yi was a little stylish, Zheng Nengfu asked, "Director Shao, this person is..."

"It's my junior brother, who is also working in Nanjiang. I'm here to come back together for the New Year." Shao Haibo gave an introduction.

Zheng Nengfu stretched out his hand and smiled, "It turns out that we are also a white horse man. Isn't it? Where is he tall?"

Before he finished speaking, the phone in Zeng Yi's hand rang. He looked down at the number and made an apologetic gesture, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm rude!" As he said that, Zeng Yi walked away several steps before answering the phone.

Zheng Nengfu was a little embarrassed, but fortunately he responded quickly, and his hand that stretched out changed, and it became a call, saying, "Director Shao, then let's go in first, I'll guide you!"

Zheng Nengfu smiled on his face, but he was very angry. I was just a little polite to you for the sake of Dean Shao’s face, but you pretended to be so arrogant that you actually shook my face. Wait, don’t let me know who you are!

Thinking of this, Zheng Nengfu walked forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, Xu Li next to him stretched out an arm and leaned over to Zheng Nengfu. At the same time, he stared at Zheng Nengfu with a cold look. The meaning was very obvious: Please wait, step back, and don’t disturb the leader’s phone call.

Horse's!

What big-headed garlic is you pretending to be? Are you a county magistrate or a mayor? You actually want me to stand here and wait for you to finish the phone call.

Zheng Nengfu's face turned red and purple at the time, and he couldn't help but get angry. However, when he looked to the side, he immediately dispelled his thoughts because he saw Shao Haibo standing aside with a smile on his face. Not only was he not angry, but he stood there willingly, waiting for his "junior brother" to finish the phone.

Zheng Nengfu is naturally not a fool to be the director of the county office. Of course, he understands the meaning of this. Shao Haibo's junior brother is probably a big deal.

Although the president of the Provincial Human Resources Hospital is not very powerful, his energy is quite large. Zheng Nengfu also accompanied the county magistrate to the province to see a doctor and saw the style of the president of the provincial human Resources Hospital. Not to mention the county magistrate, even the mayors of ordinary prefecture-level cities may not be able to move others.

Thinking of this, Zheng Nengfu stood there and waited honestly. God knew what the junior brother Shao Haibo was.

Zeng Yi quickly finished the phone call, walked back with a smile, and said, "Sorry, there was an important phone call that had to be answered just now. If there was anything rude, please forgive me, Director Zheng!" As he said that, Zeng Yi stretched out his hand, "Sorry, sorry!"

Zheng Nengfu stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "This is a shame, it's understandable, it's understandable."

As he said that, Zheng Nengfu turned his head to look at Shao Haibo: "Director Shao, since they are all white horses, I think we can go in together. There is more people and there is a lot of lively. Besides, there is nothing to be transferred to the county town at this late night." He was very smart and directly sent an invitation to Shao Haibo so that he would not be shivered again.

Shao Haibo thought, and said, "If it's not trouble, that's good!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" Zheng Nengfu kept saying, "This tea party was originally prepared for you white horse people who work outside, but you can't even invite them, so why can't you be troublesome!"

Shao Haibo said to Zeng Yi: "Then let's go in together. When it's over, I won't be able to find you again!"

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "Listen to you, Senior Brother!"

Xu Li went to park the car, and the three of them followed Zheng Nengfu and walked inside.

Shao Haibo asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyi, nothing is wrong, right?" Shao Haibo understood Zeng Yi's character. If it weren't for a very important phone call, he would never be so rude.

Zeng Yi said: "It's okay! Friends from the capital are invited to dinner!"

The caller was Zhang Jiexiong. Because Zhang Jiexiong was special, he would not easily call outsiders, so Zeng Yi was a little nervous. He thought that what was wrong with Mr. Zhai. He then found out that it was Zhang Jiexiong who took advantage of the time to report Mr. Zhai's physical condition to say a few words to Zeng Yi. These things are usually contacted by the medical team.

Zheng Nengfu, who was walking in front, didn't hear what Zeng Yi said clearly, but he heard the word "Beijing City". He was surprised and happy. He was really lucky today and found a treasure.

After entering the banquet hall of the county party committee’s Xiaozhao, there were already seven or eight tables in it, all of which were large tables that could accommodate 18 people, with melon seeds and drinks on it, and there was a speech table in front of it, with giant colored cloth hanging behind it, which read "New Year’s Friendship Tea Party for Well-known People in Baima County and successful entrepreneurs."

Shao Haibo came a little late, and there were already many people sitting on the scene and were having a warm conversation there.

The county magistrate of Baima County was named Wang Sijie. He was entertaining guests in front. After seeing Zheng Nengfu come in, he winked at him, then sued the guests around him, and hurriedly came forward.

Zheng Nengfu first introduced: "Let me introduce it. This is Director Shao Haibo from Nanjiang Provincial People's Hospital! This is Comrade Wang Sijie, the county magistrate of Baima County!"

"Director Shao, welcome!" Wang Sijie smiled and stretched out his hand, "Director Shao can come here today, our tea party is full of glory."

Shao Haibo laughed and said, "Shame, ashamed, as a white horse man, he has never made any contribution to the white horse!"

Wang Sijie raised his hand and said, "Please please, Dean Shao, I will introduce to several other advantageous people of our white horse!"

Seeing Wang Sijie leading Shao Haibo to the innermost table, Zheng Nengfu arranged Zeng Yi and Xu Li to another empty table to sit down, and then asked the staff to put on melon seed drinks and said, "Sit up first, I will be together for a while. After receiving the guests, I will definitely come over and have a good chat with you."

Zeng Yi raised his hand and smiled, "Director Zheng is busy first!"

In less than a while, many people arrived one after another, and Zeng Yi started to sit on the table. Everyone introduced themselves to each other and asked about the other people's whereabouts. Tea party is not necessarily an important external contact work in Baima County, but also a good opportunity for these outsiders to get to know each other and communicate with each other.

Zeng Yi's table was filled with businessmen, some of whom worked as contractors, some of whom were building materials and home furnishings, some opened hotel restaurants, and some made leather shoes and clothing. However, most of them were in the coastal areas and some were in the provincial capital.

"This brother has no surname, what is the best way to do? Where is it higher?" Someone asked Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "I am loyal to you, my surname is Zeng. I work in Baiyang Hi-Tech Park in Nanjiang Province."

Everyone was very interested because everyone was not in Nanjiang, so it would be useless to care about Nanjiang's affairs; another way, Zeng Yi was so young that even if he was working in a government unit, he would never be the leader who decided to make the decision. It would not be a problem at all if he knew him or not.

When the people were almost there, the door of the banquet hall was wide open. Kong Fanjin, the Baima County Party Committee, walked in with a middle-aged man of 37 or 38 years old, followed by a group of people. It seemed that they were members of the fourth team of Baima County.

Kong Fanjin came in, bowed to all sides with a smile, and said, "Dear local geniuses, I wish you a happy new year!"

In the warm response, everyone walked towards the first table in the innermost place, and some of them were not qualified and sat in other seats.

Zheng Nengfu brought a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixty to Zeng Yi's table and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, just sit at this table!"

The middle-aged man sat down carelessly, reached out and clasped his fists, laughed and said, "Everyone, Luo Guojian is greeting everyone, and he will make a fortune!"

When he reached out, eight bright gold rings on both hands were shaking, making everyone dizzy. When he handed over his business card, he found that Luo Guojian was doing road construction.

Everyone took the business card and kept it with a smile. They didn't say much to Luo Guojian. Many of them were nouveau riche, but strangely, the type of people who were most unwilling to deal with were nouveau riche.

Zheng Nengfu found a chair, Gassai sat at the table, and smiled and said, "My task today is to entertain you. If you have any needs, just give me instructions!"

Luo Guojian happened to sit next to Zeng Yi. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he was a little embarrassed. He turned his head and asked, "Where did this brother get rich?"

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Nanjiang!"

"Nanjiang is a good place. Our old Luo has been to it. There are so many beautiful girls and they are very lazy. Oh, that white..."

Luo Guojian said this, seeing the wrong atmosphere on the table, he knew that the occasion of his words was wrong. He laughed, reached out and put his arms around Zeng Yi's shoulder, patted him affectionately, and said, "Brother, if Nanjiang has any way to make money, don't forget our Lao Luo! Our Lao Luo is a kind person, and everyone can make money. If you make money, you must not lose your own people!"

Xu Li's hand was placed on the table. As long as Zeng Yi frowned, he would take Luo Guojian out.

Zeng Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Luo Guojian himself resolved the embarrassment and let Zeng Yi go and asked the person on the table: "When I came in just now, I saw that there was a car parked at the door. It was so fucking exciting. 'Nan aaaaa', it's just awkward! Do you know whose car it is? I'm going to buy it with him and drive it out. It will definitely be majestic!"

Everyone was laughing. Nana aaaaa, that must be the Nanjiang car. There was a Nanjiang person sitting next to you, asking us what we were doing! Luo Guojian didn’t know what the way it was, his ideas were really naive. How could a car with that number be bought with money?

However, everyone was also very curious and thought that when did such a powerful person appear in Baima County, he was so popular in Nanjiang Province. I have never heard of it before!
