Chapter 37
The village chief actually wanted to invite his nephew to dinner. This was a huge matter. The three brothers of the Hu family felt that their faces were particularly bright. This was a matter of long faces. In the eyes of these little people, the village chief and the village secretary were all very awesome people, let alone the town chief and the town chief working in the magnificent town government. They were in charge of the parents of the 70,000th person in a radius of 100 miles, but they were not small people.
"Xiaocheng, this village chief invites you to dinner, it's a big deal. You can't go if you don't go. Go quickly. We will definitely go on the day of the wedding!" The third uncle was still very happy. His nephew got married and came to deliver the invitation in person. This gave him great face. Moreover, his nephew is doing so well now, so he still has to flatter him. What if he needs help in the future, no, no, it's a relative, how can he not interact with him!
In fact, Jiang Cheng also knew what they were thinking, but he didn't say it out.
On the way to the village, Mino said to Jiang Cheng: "Your uncles look okay, not as unbearable as you said!"
"That's because we are rich now. Have you ever heard an old saying? No one is asking about poverty in the downtown area, but rich in the deep mountains and have distant relatives. We are like this now. If I were still a poor and poor loser now, you see, they will take care of us. This is the case in this society, and the reality is at the extreme!" Jiang Cheng said with a sneer.
He was deeply moved by the past experiences and knew the values of the people in society today, money represents success, and how much money you have represents how successful you are.
There are endless news online every day, such as the old man fell to the ground, but the elementary school students who were passing by were blackmailed, saying that they were knocked down, and they even posted them directly in front of your car, and then asked you to pay for it. Various scams refreshed your IQ and made you unable to guard against it!
Mino knew that Jiang Cheng suffered when he was a child, and had such a hatred in his mentality. She could understand this mood, but Mino had not received such treatment, so she could only understand Jiang Cheng's opinion, but there was nothing that could help him, so she could only watch silently.
It took only ten minutes to drive to the village. Jiang Cheng came to the police station and found that the police station director was waiting for them at the door. Seeing Jiang Cheng and Mino get off the car, Director Yang immediately came up and said to the two with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, the case has been solved by us, and the bag has been found smoothly. The cash, bank card and mobile phone have not been lost, like other things."
"Oh, Director Yang is really quick to solve the case. It's only been a few hours. You've solved the case so quickly. You're simply a detective. Tell me quickly, how did this case be solved!"
Jiang Cheng didn't expect that the police station could solve the case so quickly. Today is a market day. There are so many people on the street, so it is not easy to arrest a few criminals. He just went to the countryside and he immediately solved the case. Even in the city, it is difficult to solve the case so quickly.
Director Yang said with a smile: "After our dining table, he said slowly, "Captain Jiang is waiting for us in the hotel next door. Let's go here!"
The three of them came to a restaurant called Laoqi Restaurant next door. They said it was a hotel, but it was just an ordinary restaurant. However, the scale was quite large and it was one of the best in the village.
If it is placed in the city, it can only be considered a very low-end restaurant, but in this town, it can be considered a five-star hotel.
Jiang Cheng and Mino followed Director Yang's footsteps to the private room upstairs. When they entered the private room, they found that there were many people sitting inside, one of them was the Chief Jiang whom he had seen in the morning.
The head of township Jiang was the first place, and there were three seats empty beside him. It can be seen that these three seats were left for them to come later.
When the village head Jiang saw Jiang Cheng coming, he was immediately very happy and invited Jiang Cheng and Mino to sit down with a smile. He also specially pulled Jiang Cheng to the seat next to him. Mino was also placed in the empty seat next to Jiang Cheng.
When everyone sat down, Township Mayor Jiang began to introduce the people. The few people present were all cadres from the village and were responsible for various departments in the village.
However, Jiang Cheng had long known what the town chief Jiang had to do. He showed his kindness and was either a traitor or a thief.
The Township Chief Jiang probably took a fancy to his own money bag and wanted to find him to invest, otherwise he would not be so attentive.
However, Jiang Cheng was happy to eat this meal. His company was just starting out now and he didn't know what projects to invest in. Today, he came to eat this meal and also to see what projects should be recommended to him by the way.
The people were all here and the wine and food began to be served one after another. Township Mayor Jiang picked up the Maotai wine that our cadres like to drink. He opened the bottle and wanted to pour Jiang Cheng a full glass.
When Jiang Cheng saw that he was going to force himself to death, he understood his alcohol tolerance very well. At most, two taels will definitely pour out.
Jiang Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Captain Jiang is so polite. I have to drive later. How can I drink liquor? There will be a big problem. I don't dare to drive drunk now. If I get investigated, I have to go to the squad!"
Jiang Ling felt a little embarrassed in an instant. The village chief himself poured the wine, and you still don’t give him face and don’t drink it. This is not good!
However, Mino quickly saw the displeasure of the Township Chief Jiang. She took the initiative to say to Jiang Cheng: "It's okay, have a few drinks, I'll drive in the afternoon!"
Jiang Cheng felt relieved after hearing what Mino said.
For a moment, laughter came from the private room from time to time. Everyone was drinking happily. Mino was the only one on the table without drinking. She drank juice.
After three rounds of wine, it was time to talk about business. During the meal, Township Mayor Jiang introduced his acre of three-point land to Jiang Cheng in detail, and then he hated the tactful hope that Jiang Cheng could invest here and guaranteed that his investment would definitely receive a generous return.
Although Jiang Cheng was not a shrewd businessman, after listening to the introduction of the Township Mayor Jiang, he also understood one thing in brief, that is, there was no nothing in this pond town, no land resources, no non-renewable resources, and even no energy resources. Only the rice and vegetables in the fields could be exchanged for some money, and nothing else was left.
In such a remote place, even if you invest in anything, you will lose money. Although the village chief Jiang poured a bucket of bitterness, Jiang Cheng is not a fool. When he is doing business, investment without profit is something that only businessmen with no vision can do.
However, such things cannot be shown in public. It would be bad if it makes people unhappy. Jiang Cheng finally drank a few more drinks and pretended to be unable to drink, and he was about to get drunk.
Then he secretly gave Mino a wink. Mino had a close relationship with him. How could he not know what he meant? He immediately said to Jiang Ling: "Captain Jiang, my lover is so drunk. I am afraid he will be drunk. You, please bypass him and stop pouring him back!"
Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Cheng like that and found that he was about to get drunk. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but he was also a little anxious. He had set off so many big firecrackers just now, but Jiang Cheng didn't have a clear word for a long time.
I didn't say that I agreed to the investment, nor did I say that I didn't agree. I just took a look at it vaguely and asked my own team to come down and take a look.
Everyone understands people. How could Chief Jiang not understand what Jiang Cheng meant? He thought to himself that this matter is probably going to be ruined. It seems that his great cause of investment and the ideal of revitalizing the economy is still difficult to achieve!
Unfortunately, this table of good dishes today was signed by Chief Jiang. The public funds were used to entertain. Chitang Township was originally very poor in its economy, and the entertainment expenses in the village were very small every year. Basically, they signed the IOU in the hotel, and then they didn’t know that they could only pay it back in the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
The hotel is also angry and dare not speak out. This is the township government and the local tyrant. Who dares to say that the government owes money and refuses to pay it? If you accidentally talk nonsense, you will not be arrested and locked up for a few days. Maybe you will give you some shoes to wear, so you won’t want to do business in the future.
The banquet was not very pleasant. Finally, Mino helped the half-drunk and half-awake Jiang Cheng out of the private room. When he was passing by the counter at the door, Jiang Cheng said to Mino: "Please settle the bill!"
As soon as Mino heard this, she understood what Jiang Cheng meant. She didn't want to owe others favors.
Mino took out the bag he received from the police station, opened it, and took a thousand dollars to pay for the meal.
The store owner was shocked. This was the first time he had seen someone take the initiative to buy government orders. In the past, the village signed a contract every time he had a meal, and he didn't talk nonsense to you at all.
But this time, why did the person who was having dinner with the village chief take the initiative to pay the bill?
Director Yang and Jiang Ling, who walked out from behind, also saw Mino's behavior of paying the bill, but neither of them stepped forward to dissuade them. I don't know if they were embarrassed or if they deliberately did not go up.
The banquet ended like this. On the way back, Mino was changed to driving, and Jiang Cheng was lying in the co-pilot to rest.
This Moutai has quite a strong momentum, and Jiang Cheng is still dizzy now.
"How about you, are you okay? Do I want me to go down the road and buy you a bottle of iced tea to quench your thirst?"
Drunk people are prone to thirst, and now it is a hot day, and iced tea is very effective in quenching wine.
Jiang Cheng nodded. Seeing this, Mino immediately parked the car on the side of the road, bought a bottle of honey grapefruit tea from a small shop on the side of the road, opened the lid and served Jiang Cheng to drink it.
It took Jiang Cheng only a few seconds to finish a bottle of drink. After drinking it, he felt much more comfortable in an instant.
"Damn it, this is trying to get me to death. These bureaucrats know that they eat and drink all day long. It's better to think about how to benefit the people if they have this money!"
