Chapter 320: The Eastern Wind Comes Full of Spring
This time I went back to Qiantang on a business trip, and it was only three months before Gu Biao went abroad without pay and went abroad.
But after returning home, Gu Biao saw a bigger change than before.
My sister has been working for a year, and her brother-in-law Yang Xin has also graduated, and she will get married at the end of the month.
Several villas in the family have been renovated, and art garden lights and lawn lights have been erected in the garden, which are very eye-catching at night.
Obviously, this is because my father believed what Gu Biao told him before going abroad, "The country's policy on business is about to be fully liberalized", and he also knew that Gu Biao had no intention of becoming an official again. That's why Dad dared to let go of his hands and feet, and spent the money he should spend.
After all, when you are an official, you have to pay attention to influence, and you don't need to do business. Dad was originally restrained, because he was afraid of affecting his career.
The decoration of the house and the marriage of my sister are not the most exaggerated contrasts in the family, the most exaggerated thing is that Gu Biao found that he had an extra stepmother.
Gu Biao also knew that his mother had been dead for ten years, and his father had been widowed. And he hasn't seen this physical mother since he crossed over, and his memory is quite indifferent, so he also supports his father's continuation.
After all, he himself is more than one woman, and there is no reason to be strict with others and lenient with himself.
It's just that when I first saw it, I thought it was too sudden and I didn't know what to call it.
It's only been a few months, and there's no sign at all.
Fortunately, the other party also had eyes, and took the initiative to explain to Gu Biao: "Xiaoxiao, you are just like Minmin, shouting ...... Auntie, it's okay. ”
Gu Biao reluctantly shouted for her aunt, and then pulled aside her sister, who was always shy because she was about to get married: "What is the origin of this? Why haven't I heard any news?"
Gu Min was also embarrassed: "It's still a student at the same level as me!" His name is Wang Xue, who is also a major in statistics at Zhejiang University. After graduating last year, he was assigned to Dad's factory as the chief of finance. I didn't know her when I was in school, and I didn't know when she was there.
My father told me a while ago that he would get a certificate with his aunt in June. He hopes that when he marries his daughter and daughter-in-law to his son in the future, the people in the high hall will look neat and tidy, and don't be laughed at by his in-laws. I know it's an excuse, but it's not easy for Dad, so be it. ”
Gu Biao thought for a while: "Then they didn't put wine? Since it's your classmate, how old is this aunt?"
"No, Dad himself said that he couldn't wipe his face with what kind of wine he put on the second wedding, for fear of being said that he was old and didn't repair. The woman is married for the first time, so she should suffer a loss. Gu Min explained softly, "Aunt Wang is 25, three years older than me, she graduated from high school and went to the countryside for a few years before she came back. ”
"That 77-level college student is still afraid that she has no future, how can she be willing to ......" Gu Biao was a little puzzled.
He is not afraid that the other party will take a fancy to the Gu family's property, anyway, the family's money is earned by Gu Biao himself, and it is not by inheritance. In the future, if this strange aunt really gives him a younger brother, he doesn't care.
He just thinks that the female college students who graduated this year must have a great future, so why bother looking for a rich old man.
Gu Min explained vaguely: "I later asked her classmates that when she went to the countryside, because she was old enough to talk about marriage, she talked about her partner in the countryside, but she didn't get married yet, so she came back from the exam, and the matter was over."
The other boys in the school, who also have a future, must want to find someone who has no emotional experience, she wants to open it, so she simply graduated and found a second-married man who didn't care about this. In this case, she is willing to marry the factory director, even if she is 50 years old. ”
When my sister explained this, Gu Biao understood, so let it be.
If a 50-year-old dad marries a 25-year-old, it is naturally not good to ask the other party how beautiful and pure and flawless he is. It's good now, and no one feels too much indebted to the other.
Sure enough, men still have to be rich, and they can marry young ones no matter how old they are.
Gu Biao didn't bother to care more about these things, he just sealed a big red envelope of tens of thousands of foreign exchange coupons and gave it to the new cheap aunt, even if it was a congratulatory gift for juniors.
The other party is also very satisfied with the attitude.
It's quiet ever since.
However, Gu Biao noticed an additional detail from his sister's words, so he opened his mouth to confirm: "You just said that she thinks 'of course she is willing to marry the factory director', but in fact, you want to talk about the deputy factory director, right?"
Gu Min explained: "No, it's the factory director, Qin Hui is going to be transferred away, going to Hujiang, Baosteel, as the executive deputy in charge of the first phase of production." Baosteel's level can be high, even if it is a deputy position, it is higher than our factory director.
Isn't the first phase of Baosteel put into operation this year, the original team of the preparatory committee went to the second phase of construction, and the team in charge of production in the first phase was vacant, and many qualified people in the system wanted to transfer there.
After Qin Hui left, his father became the factory director, and the people below could also move. In the past few years, the oxygen generator factory has been in the Middle East, earning foreign exchange at the level of tens of millions of dollars every year, so good political performance, and it is normal for the leadership team to rise quickly. ”
Dad finally climbed to the deputy hall level before Gu Biao, and Gu Biao is estimated to be no higher in this life, so Daddy's face can be saved. Otherwise, when you go out in the future, you will not be as good as your son, and it will be awkward.
Gu Biao thought this was good.
……
Because of the tiring days of traveling, after Gu Biao returned home, he was not in a hurry to start work immediately.
He first stayed in his villa with his girlfriend for two days, chatting about writing autobiography and making documentaries.
When you are ready to rest enough, you will go to the relevant leaders of the city and talk about the reception of the international conference.
However, he was as vivid as a firefly in the night, and before he could take the initiative to start work, his old friend, Director Qiu of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, took the initiative to visit him.
"Brother Qiu, I was rude, I wanted to be lazy for a few days, and you took the initiative to find the door. When Gu Biao heard that the other party came to the door, he immediately went out to greet him.
"Where, where, I'm in a hurry, uninvited. Qiu Qing's face was full of enthusiasm and didn't mind being polite, "I asked someone to ask Lao Liang from Hujiang to inquire about the news, and I know everything you want to do." Brother, don't worry, even if you open your mouth, the city will be demolished and rebuilt this year, and the accumulated defects will be rectified, and there will be insufficient excuses.
But any plan that is conducive to improving the image of the city can be discussed, not only do I support you, but the new Mayor Li will also personally support you. I'm just going to give the mayor a message first. ”
Qiu Qing is in charge of the cultural tourism industry, and at the end of last year, he asked Gu Biao to help, but the time was not ripe, and Gu Biao only gave him some advice at that time, and did not actually invest. So for the cooperation with Gu Biao, he was very enthusiastic spontaneously.
Gu Biao had just returned to China and didn't have time to care, so he wasn't very well-informed. Hearing this, he asked: "Yes, I haven't had time to care about this, Brother Qiu, you can talk about it carefully." For example, Mayor Li, as well as the recent rectification of his hometown. ”
Qiu Qing was not busy, so he slowly explained to Gu Biao: "Mayor Li is an adjustment made at the meeting at the beginning of the year, and he came from the north. Last year, some work reports in the city went up, and after reading them, the central government supported Qiantang to rectify the environment and develop the tourism and exhibition industries. Mr. Hu also came to inspect it in person, and you were not in Qiantang at that time.
But after the above research, I felt that the interests here are intertwined, and the illegal buildings by the West Lake are all high-level units, and the history is complicated. Later, I heard that this Mayor Li personally made a military order in front of Mr. Hu, and when he came to Qiantang, he lifted the lid and pulled out the nails.
On April 10, the central government also issued the "Decision on Cracking Down on Serious Criminal Activities in the Economic Field", and it was at this time that the mayor parachuted in.
Now if you go to the West Lake, the lakeside road has been built, all the factories that discharged sewage into the West Lake have been demolished, and many large sanatoriums have been cleared as long as they occupy public land and the land use procedures are illegal. Some were converted into guest houses. If the house is too old and the location obstructs traffic, it will be demolished and the road will be changed to a park. ”
Gu Biao listened to it, but he was quite pleased.
In later generations, he has long been accustomed to the pattern of parks around the West Lake, and it is better to complete the lake and return it to the people.
There is such a mayor who is not afraid of offending people, that is, he is ready to parachute in to kill the mayor who will be transferred away for a few years, Gu Biao invests more in the local area, but there are more possibilities.
Gu Biao couldn't help but congratulate Qiu Qing: "Then you have earned it, there is a mayor who thinks the same as you, you can show your strength." By the way, what advice I made to you last year, how did you implement it later? ”
Qiu Qingleng paused for a moment: "You mean, you can get free park admission with your passport, but you can open a specialty store in the park that only allows foreign exchange coupons, and rely on the storefront contract fee to recover the cost, right?"
Gu Biao nodded: "That's it." ”
Qiu Qing smiled bitterly: "I am under pressure to let the old mayor and Mayor Qiu support me to carry out the pilot." In fact, the money is really earned, and the foreign exchange earned is much higher than before. But there is also a lot of scolding, and many people write anonymously to the top, saying that I am betraying the country and giving foreigners higher treatment than Chinese. Why can foreigners rely on encouraging consumption to return to their roots, while Chinese can only buy tickets.
Those people also said that Chinese also have purchasing power, foreign exchange coupons, and will also spend in scenic specialty shops, so it is unfair - if it were not for the foreign exchange earning figures, the mayor would not have protected me. ”
Gu Biao was not very surprised by this result: "Then what do you think of it?"
Of course, I gritted my teeth and made money first. Qiu Qing was puzzled.
Gu Xiao shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm asking you, what do you think of those anonymous letters that say 'Chinese will also use foreign exchange coupons to spend, so they should not charge tickets'?
Qiu Qing didn't think about it: "Of course, I know that they are talking nonsense, Chinese don't all spend money, but when they travel, they can afford to spend a lot of money to buy valuables, too little." As soon as the tickets are banned, I am afraid that the flow of people will be too large, which will affect the spending of foreign guests. ”
"The conclusion is correct, there is a problem with the derivation process, and it is a matter of giving people a handle. Gu Biao commented, "That's it, I'll teach you a trick, how to refute the remarks just now." Also, you can adjust the specific description of the follow-up policy a little. ”
"Brother, just say that your plan must be good. ”
