Shen Huai and Cheng Yi walked out of the shopping mall with their pockets full of things, took the escalator upstairs, and saw Zhu Ziqiang and the wavy girl standing in the hall and looking around.

Shen Huai didn't say a word, pulled Cheng Yi, and turned around from the escalator mouth and walked to the aisle on the left.

Zhu Ziqiang guessed that Shen Huai and his girlfriend entered the Oriental Mandarin Mall for shopping, and after he came over, he didn't see anyone from Shen Huai on the first floor, so he stared at the escalator on the second floor.

The podium of the Oriental Mandarin Commercial Building is mainly used for high-end department stores, and further up are luxury hotels and office buildings, and the optional shopping malls on the basement floor are relatively civilian.

Where did Zhu Ziqiang think that Shen Huai brought Cheng Yi into Dongfang Wenhua just to buy some daily necessities?

Zhu Ziqiang did not block the entrance of the escalator, but he also saw Shen Huai turn around and walk to the left from the entrance of the escalator on the first floor.

Zhu Ziqiang knew that Shen Huai was trying to avoid him, and because he knew that Shen Huai didn't miss him, he didn't dare to say hello loudly, nor did he dare to chase after him, for fear that he would really annoy Shen Huai and have no good fruit to eat, so he stood up and was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and Sun Juan beside him was even more irritable, glaring and reprimanding: "Look at the chicken and the bad thing you did! If Lao Tzu messes up this deal, see how I clean you up!"

Sun Juan was both aggrieved and afraid in her heart, and she didn't have the momentum on the second floor of Yihe at all, and said timidly: "This county magistrate Shen is familiar with Wu Hao, or I will go to Wu Hao to talk about it?"

Zhu Ziqiang thought about it, thinking that Wu Hao's deflated three looked like he was not promising, but his bones were hard, he just went to beg this kid to be in the middle of the circle, and it might not be useful for him to do this, so he had to let Sun Juan do it, nodded and said: "You go to Wu Hao, be smart, don't make some dick messes! This surnamed Shen, seeing that he is not well dressed, is like a little white face who deceives a little girl, this is a stinky problem of some officials, but others are the real God of Wealth, whoever offends him can't get along with money." ”

******************

Shen Huai and Cheng Yi returned to the dormitory of the Provincial People's Bank with a full bag of daily necessities, and then cleaned up the room.

After packing up, it was still early to go to my sister-in-law's house for dinner in the evening, and he couldn't spend time in the dormitory, so Shen Huai planned to drive Cheng Yi around the city to familiarize himself with the environment of Xucheng.

They went downstairs and drove just about to leave the courtyard of the provincial pedestrian dormitory area, when they saw Wu Hao standing at the door with his girlfriend, talking to the doorman.

"Teacher Xiao Wu has an acquaintance here?" Shen Huai asked when he stopped the car and opened the window.

Wu Hao's cheeks were still not thick enough, he grinned awkwardly, and said, "I saw County Magistrate Shen enter this courtyard from afar, and I want to stop by to visit, but the doorman won't let us in......"

Wu Hao has been working in the party school for the past two or three years, and he has mainly done work such as life counselors, and he can indeed follow up more closely with the party and government officials who are studying in the party school.

At first, he thought it was his chance, but after a few more nails, he realized the coldness and ruthlessness of the world.

When it came to Shen Huai's county cadres, Wu Hao no longer had any illusions except for maintaining normal work contact, thinking that the enthusiasm and cordiality of these trainees to him would continue after the end of the training.

Wu Hao didn't think that it was appropriate to meet with the second floor, Shen Huai really had much enthusiasm, it was nothing more than a nod of greeting from someone he knew, and he didn't think that he would be treated if he came over on a special trip.

It's just that his relationship with Sun Li has to be maintained, and he can't break the relationship with Sun Li, her sister and Zhu Ziqiang, so he can only take a hard trip.

"Cheng Yi just moved here today, and the doorman doesn't know her very well," Shen Huai smiled and beckoned Wu Hao to take his car with his girlfriend, and said, "You guys get in the car, let's not block the gate of other people's houses." ”

Wu Hao and his girlfriend got into the car, Shen Huai turned his head and looked at them sitting in the back compartment: "Where are you going, I'll send you over?"

"I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I went out with Sun Li for a walk, and when I saw you, County Magistrate Shen, I thought about coming over to visit. Wu Hao said.

"We'll be idle and walk around in the afternoon," Shen Huai laughed and said, "Well, you guys come with us......"

"At noon in Yihe, Sun Li and her sister were a little angry, and said some ugly things, offending County Magistrate Shen, you ......," Wu Hao said.

"Oh, you came here for this, what a big deal I said," Shen Huai said with a smile, "There are so many people who talk ugly to me, I can still be careful to keep them in my heart." You talk to me, there is no 'you', 'you', we are about the same age, I'm twenty-eight years old, what about you, Mr. Wu?"

"I'm twenty-eight for the New Year. Wu Hao said.

"Well, let's call them all by name. Shen Huai said.

"Sun Li, her brother-in-law ......" Wu Hao mentioned Zhu Ziqiang, which was his main intention to come over hard, and he couldn't help but mention it.

"That man is Sun Li's brother-in-law, he looks like he's in his forties, right?" Cheng Yi turned around and asked.

Wu Hao said embarrassedly: "Sun Li and her sister worked in Dacheng Media before, met Zhu Ziqiang, and then got married......"

"Zhu Ziqiang's thing, it's not that I look down on him. Meigang wants to clean up the suppliers of coking coal in the near future, and Dacheng Coal will clean it up. I don't want to get in touch with him, and I don't want to be embarrassed to meet him in the future. Shen Huai said.

"Ah......" Wu Hao was also reluctant to give Zhu Ziqiang, but he didn't expect to see Shen Huai like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him in the end, if he really wanted Zhu Ziqiang to live a nourishing life, his relationship with Sun Li would only be more difficult, so he simply didn't say anything.

"The two articles you published in the party school magazine are well written, I talked to Qin Dawei about you yesterday......" Shen Huai saw Wu Hao fall silent, and smiled to find a topic to talk to him.

"Half a month ago, I rode a bicycle to pass by Director Qin, and stopped to chat," Wu Hao said, "The two articles in the school magazine, I will be idle, find some materials to copy and write, far less ......in-depth than your article written by County Magistrate Shen."

Shen Huai said that he wanted to call each other by his name, but Wu Hao didn't think that he could really call Shen Huai's name.

"......" Shen Huai was just about to turn around and say something, the mobile phone rang, seeing that it was Li Gu's phone, he took out the earphones and asked Cheng Yi to help plug them in, stuffed the earphones into his ears, and saw Wu Hao from the rearview mirror that they were going to get out of the car and say goodbye without hindering him from answering the phone, he shook his head and said to Wu Hao: "It's not an important call, it's okay." ”

Shen Huai was also puzzled that Li Gu would have something to do with him at this time, so he answered the phone and asked, "Why did Secretary Li think of me at this time?"

"Sun Fujing of Huaimei said that you are still in Xucheng today......" Li Gu said on the phone.

"Well, Cheng Yi went to Xucheng today to help her clean up the house. Shen Huai said shamelessly.

"Yes, I'll treat you both to dinner that night. Li Gu said.

"There's dinner tonight, I don't dare to push off my sister-in-law's dinner, I won't bother Secretary Li today, let's break the bill; Shen Huai said.

"Then invite the two of you to afternoon tea......" Li Gu insisted.

"......" Shen Huai somewhat understood why Li Gu insisted on seeing him, glanced at Wu Hao in the rearview mirror, and said to Li Gu on the other end of the phone, "I am with Mr. Xiao Wu of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee and Director Qin Dawei and Director Qin of the Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission." Yes, Mr. Xiao Wu is Wu Hao. Okay, we'll be over in a minute......"

Hanging up the phone, Shen Huai hurried to call Qin Dawei again, waited for him to call, and said to Wu Hao with a smile: "It was the phone call of Li Gu, secretary of the Provincial Working Committee of State-owned Enterprises, just now, it may be that Sun Li and her brother-in-law called Sun Fujing of Huaimei and said that I was in Xucheng." Sun Fujing was with Li Gu, and Li Gu was going to ask us over for afternoon tea. Director Qin's matter, don't tell the ......"

Tian Jiageng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, is also the principal of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, Wu Hao is naturally no stranger to Tian Jiageng's secretary Li Gu, and he didn't expect Li Gu to have an impression of him.

Sun Fujing, the chief executive of the Huaimei Group, is the chief executive of a state-owned enterprise at the deputy department level, and Li Gu is now the secretary of the working committee in charge of the work of the party group of the provincial state-owned enterprise, and a cadre at the department level, all of whom are prominent figures in the officialdom of Huaihai Province.

During Shen Huai's study in the party school, he lived in the same dormitory with Qin Dawei for three months, and had a close relationship.

Of course, if he can have this kind of opportunity, Wu Hao will not refuse stupidly, but he is a little uneasy in his heart.

After a while, Qin Dawei called, and he and Yang Lin were together to study the matter of Xinpu Refining and Chemical. Without disturbing Yang Lin's train of thought, Shen Huai asked Qin Dawei to take a taxi directly to the door of the Provincial Guest House to meet.

*******************

Li Gu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the sparsely lying old plum trees in the north garden and spitting out the stamens the size of rice grains.

He had always hesitated to make an appointment with Shen Huai alone.

In the afternoon, he met with Sun Fujing, general manager and party secretary of Huaimei Group, to discuss the problems encountered in Huaimei's current work.

The large coke order of 1.6 million tons and a total value of more than 1 billion yuan can be won to get Huai Coal Group out of the current business predicament in one fell swoop.

Of course, Meigang's coke order is not something that can be signed casually.

No matter which coal company signs a long-term supply agreement with Meigang, it will have to carry out corresponding capacity expansion, and the transportation and storage of more than one million tons of coke is not a simple matter, and it will not take half a year to make preparations.

Xinpu Steel Plant plans to be officially put into operation in nine months, that is to say, if Huaimei wants to get Meigang's order, it must sign a supply agreement with Meigang before March, otherwise it will be completely useless.

Of course, although Huaineng Group has entered coal development, it will take a long time to prepare, and there is no way to supply coke or coking coal to Meigang now.

When he returned to Xinpu for inspection, Shen Huai mentioned the problem of supply, but there was no reaction from Meigang's side after that, and Sun Fujing got the news that Meigang had close contact with several coal industries in Hebei Province, and it is likely that the supply of coke raw materials was purchased from Hebei Province and transported to Xinpu Port by sea.

Although Meixi Development and Investment Group, a local state-owned investment and financing platform to which Meigang belongs, participated in the reconstruction project of the Xudong Railway together with Huai Coal, and the reconstruction of the Xudong Railway and the development of Xinpu Port are ultimately conducive to Huai Coal's coal materials going to sea from Xinpu Port, the entire Huai Coal East Project is not tied to Meigang's coke procurement.

Even if Huai Coal is willing to invest in the construction of the east extension of the Xudong Railway, Meigang does not appreciate it and interrupts the connection between Huai Coal in coke procurement.
