Shao Zheng had just led people away with his front foot, and Zhou Ming came over with his back foot.

Seeing that Shao Zheng took away the peasant workers who had gathered to make trouble in the afternoon, Zhou Ming asked Su Kaiwen suspiciously: "Let them go, and the responsibility for gathering a crowd to disrupt social order will not be investigated......

Su Kai pouted indoors, and Zhou Ming saw his father-in-law sitting in it with Pan Shihua, Huang Xinliang and Zhu Li, and a small middle-aged man with a thin face standing inside, all looking at him.

"Aren't you accompanying Fuji Steel's negotiators, why haven't you returned to the city yet?" Xiong Wenbin coughed lightly, beckoned Zhou Ming in, and asked him why he was still in Meixi Town.

"In the afternoon, I accompanied Mr. Yamazaki and others to the scene to see the terrain, and Mr. Yamazaki and they wanted to stay in Meixi Town for dinner in the evening. I just chose a good place, I just wanted to come over to see if the matter was handled here, and invited Pan Ji, Shen Huai, and Kaiwen to go over for dinner together, "Zhou Ming was not embarrassed, he greeted Huang Xinliang and Zhu Li, explained the reason why he came here at this time, and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Tan Ji asked me to come over and take a look. Xiong Wenbin said, things have come to this point, and there is no point in blaming Zhou Ming for having nothing to do.

"What about Shen Huai?" Zhou Ming looked at it, but didn't see Shen Huai's figure, and asked strangely.

"District Chief Shen has to drink for these five migrant workers at night, I'm afraid that we won't have time to accompany us. Pan Shihua's face had not eased yet, but he just pretended to be calm and told Zhou Ming that it was Shen Huai who insisted on taking away the five migrant workers who had tossed everyone all afternoon.

Zhou Ming shrugged, understanding why Su Kaiwen had that expression when he asked why he didn't deal with the five migrant workers who gathered to make trouble.

Everyone sent Shao Zheng to pick it up by Shen Huai, and Pan Shihua didn't say much, looked at Xiong Wenbin, and asked, "Mr. Yamazaki, is Secretary Xiong going to accompany you?"

Xiong Wenbin was not easy to refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, Nobuo Yamazaki has been to China this time, and I haven't eaten with him yet." ”

Huang Xinliang and Zhu Li took Zhu Youcai to leave; before Zhu Youcai left, he still grabbed Su Kaiwen and asked, "The arrears of the forging factory, will I just ask Su Mi to help you solve it tomorrow?"

Shen Huai kicked the ball into his arms nakedly, Zhu Youcai looked at the person who looked honest, but he refused to let go when he stuck to it like kraft candy, Su Kaiwen's face was ugly, but thinking that this matter could not be solved well, maybe Shen Huai would use it as a pigtail to pull him for a long time, thinking that the city forging factory owed Zhu Youcai 200,000 yuan for the project, which was not a big deal, so he nodded and said: "Okay, you come to me tomorrow at the municipal party committee office, and I will help you coordinate it again then." ”

The matter here came to an end for the time being, Xiong Wenbin called Tan Qiping to report the situation, and said that he would accompany the Fuji Steel representative to dinner, and then they took a car in the direction of Meixi Old Street together.

The Zhuxi Bridge has not yet been opened to traffic, but the street lamps on both sides of Zhuxi Avenue have been erected, and bright lights are emitted at night, shining on the newly paved asphalt pavement, and workers on both sides are moving and planting road trees overnight.

Although the renovation project of Xuetang Street has not yet been fully launched, the 200-meter-long section of Xuetang Street from the archway of the old street to the south to the north factory gate of Meigang has been renovated together with the Pants Chuanzi River Bridge, Zhuyuan and Old Street.

The courtyard in the Nagisa community still needs to be renovated and more trees need to be transplanted, but the general scale has already taken shape. The small western-style buildings with red bricks on the main body stand on the north side of Zhuxi Avenue, hidden among the trees, and people can no longer imagine the dilapidated and old land of this place.

On the south and west side of the Pants River Bridge, between Xuetang Street, Zhuxi Avenue and Zhuyuan Garden and the Pants River, a green plaza is being built. There were already a few parking spaces on the side of the road that had been paved with lawn tiles, so Xiong Wenbin and his family parked their cars here and walked across the Pants River Bridge, which was lined with stone railings on both sides.

Xiong Wenbin remembers passing by here before autumn, and there is no bridge here.

When Meixi Town first built Xuetang Street, in order to save the cost of road construction, the waist of the Pants River was cut off and filled to build a road directly. It was only when Shen Huai was determined to build the Zhuyuan Community, renovate the old street, and clean up the Pants River that Xuetang Street was re-excavated, so that the river was reconnected with the Tongjiang River on the outside, and a new river bridge was built.

The north side of the trouser river bridge is the old street, located on the north side of Xuetang Street, the stone archway that existed at the end of the Qing Dynasty has been renovated, and the alley mouth has also been newly paved with blue bricks.

Standing at the mouth of the alley and looking inside, the narrow alleyway, which is only about seven or eight meters, is newly paved with blue bricks. Workers worked overnight on cast-iron lampposts, which were erected in the middle of the roadway to directly restrict the entry of any vehicle.

The schematic diagram of the renovation plan of the old street, engraved with a bronze plaque, is erected under the stone archway. From the schematic diagram, it can be seen that Meixi Town is going to transform the old street into a pedestrian street, restrict the entry of vehicles, fire lanes are distributed on both sides of the old street, and a wooden promenade will be built on the north bank of the Pants Ridge River.

Xiong Wenbin and Pan Shihua were not in a hurry to enter the alley, but leaned over to study the planning plan under the lamp, and then they knew that the other end of the alley entrance was the old river wharf. The riverside road, which is being built along the east bank of the Meixi River, will pass under the Zhuxi Bridge, connecting the old street and the old river wharf with Zhuxi Avenue.

"Meixi is really big with hands and feet!" Pan Shihua said with unspeakable resentment.

After Xiong Wenbin took over, only a small part of the old street and Xuetang Street were renovated, but from this small part, we can see the clues, and it can be seen that the Meixi Town Government's transformation of Xuetang Street and Old Street has a very high starting point, and even exceeds the city's investment in the transformation of the central block.

Before Yang Yuquan was transferred from Tangzha District, he passed a resolution to support the financial transfer of Meixi Town, so that the financial expenditure of Tangzha District in the 95th and 96th years will be greatly transferred to Meixi Town, so that although Pan Shihua is also the secretary of the district party committee and the head of the district, the financial power he holds is not as good as Shen Huai and He Qingshe, how can this make him have a balance in his heart?

Although in the 95th and 96th years, Meixi Town may occupy half of Tangzha District's financial resources for town construction, but this part of the financial resources is also contributed by Meixi Town itself, and it cannot be said that Meixi Town has taken much advantage.

Xiong Wenbin and Pan Shihua walked to the old street under the guidance of Zhou Ming.

The old street has only been renovated since August, and it is only now in its infancy, with only a few shops at the mouth of the alley that have been refilled and opened, and these shops are all restaurants except for a hostel.

Xiong Wenbin, Pan Shihua, Su Kaiwen, Zhou Ming and others walked into the second restaurant called Meiyuan Restaurant at the mouth of the alley.

The interior walls of the restaurant are decorated with blue bricks, the ground floor is closed, and the stairs are climbed from the dark red wooden staircase, and the decoration style on the second floor is antique, looking small, and there are only a few private rooms around the atrium, but the style is good.

A beautiful woman walked up, her sleek face was not young, but she was quite charming, and she stood by the railing with a smile on her face to welcome them in, looking like a hotel manager or some other kind of staff.

Xiong Wenbin didn't particularly care about this woman, but Pan Shihua looked at her twice.

walked to the box, met with Nobuo Yamazaki and other representatives of Fuji Steel, and the beautiful woman personally came over to arrange napkins and dishes for Xiong Wenbin, Pan Shihua, and Su Kaiwen.

When she left, Pan Shihua couldn't help but glance at the charming background of the woman, and asked Zhou Ming who was sitting next to him in a low voice: "She is the proprietress of this shop?"

"Oh," Zhou Ming replied casually, "Yes, it's the proprietress of this shop, surnamed He." ”

The representative of Fuji Steel sat on one side, and Xiong Wenbin sat on the other, and most of the communication between them was carried out through translation. After the greetings, they got together to talk a lot, after all, there are many inconveniences in communicating through translation.

Xiong Wenbin looked over here when he saw the Japanese representatives chatting in private, and asked Xiao He, the interpreter of the city steel mill, in a low voice: "What are they talking about?"

He Haiyang, the translator sent by the city steel mill and a member of the joint venture project preparation team, is a veteran employee who entered the city steel mill through Xiong Wenbin's hand at the beginning, and he is also relatively casual in front of Xiong Wenbin.

At this time, when Xiong Wenbin asked about the conversation of the Japanese representative, He Haiyang glanced at Zhou Ming awkwardly, and saw that Zhou Ming didn't notice this side at all, so he suppressed his voice and explained to Xiong Wenbin: "They are very curious why Shen Ji didn't come over? They know that Shen Ji personally climbed the tower crane to persuade the workers to come down, and they seem to be quite expecting Shen Ji to represent the Chinese side as the general manager of the joint venture factory......

Xiong Wenbin knew that Shen Huai had a bad impression of him at the South Park last time, but after many contacts, Fuji Steel's management and leadership skills still had a rational understanding of Shen Huai's management and leadership ability.

Xiong Wenbin just nodded quietly, knowing that on the one hand, Shen Huai had no intention of interfering in the joint venture project, and secondly, Tan Qiping would not let Shen Huai interfere too much in the joint venture project, and the two sides seemed to be working the joint venture project. Xiong Wenbin didn't know what the joint venture project could look like in Zhou Ming's hands.

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

Shen Huai had dinner with the five workers at the Zhuxi Hotel, and asked the town government to send a van to take them directly to the station.

Watching the five workers leave with tears in their eyes, Shen Huai put his hand in his coat pocket.

Chen Dan walked over, straightened his collar, and asked, "Xiong Wenbin, they are also eating in Meixi Town, why don't you go over and say hello?"

"If I don't go, I still have to go to the factory, how can there be so many socials at the wine table?" Shen Huai shook his head and said, "The factory wants to send employees to Birmingham to participate in the equipment demolition, but the visas are only signed for thirty people." Zhao Dong went to Jiangning in the afternoon to run this matter, and I will give two training classes to expatriate employees on his behalf in the evening......"

Shen Huai separated from Chen Dan, took a car and asked Shao Zheng to take him to the factory, passed under the old street archway, and took a look at the alley, he knew that Xiong Wenbin and Pan Shihua had dinner with representatives of Fuji Steel at the newly opened Meiyuan Restaurant in He Yuelian.
