Chapter 59: Chen Mingyong Comes to the Western Capital
"Lao Chen!"
Li Xian's cordial call made the back tremble.
"Mr. Li, I can be regarded as finding you. ”
Chen Mingyong was confused for a moment, almost didn't recognize it, and then hurriedly walked in front of Li Xian, his joy overflowing.
"Why are you here?" asked Li Xian.
"Hey, that doorman won't let me in. ”
"You say you're a student. ”
"I said that, but the doorman said, uncle, don't embarrass me, saying that you are a professor, I feel old. ”
Li Xian patted him on the shoulder: "It's really hard for you." ”
"Big brother, you really look a little hasty. Han Hui laughed.
"Eh, you young man, can you speak?" Chen Mingyong was not happy, and walked in front of Han Hui with a calm face.
"Okay, let's not say a word. Li Xian pulled Chen Mingyong, and then looked at the others who couldn't help laughing: "You guys go back first, I have something to do with my fellow countrymen." ”
After the others left, he asked, "Old Chen, have you eaten?"
"No, I'm hungry. Chen Mingyong rubbed his stomach and looked tired.
Thinking that he had caught the train overnight, Li Xian took him to a noodle restaurant.
The owner of the noodle restaurant was deeply impressed by Li Xian, and his memory still stayed in the scene of tears streaming down his face while eating oily and spicy noodles.
"Boss, come to a bowl of spicy noodles. Li Xian shouted.
"Okay. ”
Chen Mingyong poured a cup of herbal tea to quench his thirst, and after being a little tired, he said, "Mr. Li, there have been some troubles in the mall recently. ”
When he left Yongxian, Li Xian once told several senior managers that they would come to Xidu once a month to report the latest situation, and if they encountered major events, they could come to report at any time.
It's not been a month now, and most likely something happened to the mall.
The boss brought spicy noodles and put them on the table, Chen Mingyong was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
As soon as I took a bite, I suddenly put down my chopsticks, patted the table and said, "Boss, this is spicy noodles? Don't bully me that I haven't eaten noodles much, but since it's spicy noodles, where is the spicy taste of the noodles? Not to mention the spicy taste, you should at least put some salt, right?"
The boss walked out with an aggrieved face, glanced at Li Xian, and his resentful eyes seemed to say, Brother, why didn't you say that the noodles were not for yourself?
Li Xian waved his hand: "Put more chili peppers on him, the taste is a little heavier." ”
"Mr. Li, this matter, it's not a big deal, recently a few small miscellaneous hairs wandered near the shopping mall, saying that they were going to charge protection fees, the pillar found a trip to the branch government, after the branch government reported to the police, the public security came a few times, and the group of small miscellaneous hairs has been divided for a while, and it seems to have improved a little recently. The pillar thinks it's better to come and tell you. ”
Chen Mingyong took a sip of tea and said.
Li Xian nodded, frowned and thought about it, those gangsters can't make any climate, there must be someone behind them, they don't come sooner or later, but recently, don't they know that Hongyun Mansion has the approval of the county magistrate?
Unless they decide that Hongyun Mansion can't even shelter the county magistrate.
Li Xian suddenly stood up, walked to the boss's counter, and asked, "Is there any latest newspaper?"
The boss was a little surprised, but he still took out a stack of newspapers and put it on the counter.
Li Xian looked at them one by one, with a solemn look in his eyes.
"What's wrong, Xianzi?" Chen Mingyong realized the seriousness and walked over to Li Xian's side.
An article in early September read: "The struggle between the two propositions on the question of reform, the two directions, the two roads, continues in different forms. ", attracted Li Xian's attention.
It turned out to be a struggle between the two factions, Li Xian sneered, and the matter of the thugs collecting protection money made sense, it was nothing more than someone who realized the contradiction and thought that the individual economy could not go on, and his shopping mall could not get the protection from above.
Looking at a big vault like Hongyun Building, how can you not be tempted?
Li Xian returned to his seat and said sharply: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't care what bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are standing behind them, don't be afraid, let's sit upright and do our duty." If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, he will be rewarded tenfold. ”
Chen Mingyong sighed in his heart, Li Xian, who has always been kind and kind, actually has a murderous side.
"Is there anything else going on at the mall?"
"Recently, there seems to be a few tens of customers missing. ”
Li Xian knocked on the table, and the corners of his eyes jumped suddenly, could there be any connection between these two things?
"On National Day, I'll go back. ”
With Li Xian's promise, Chen Mingyong can be regarded as relieved, during this time, he always feels like he is missing a backbone.
After leaving the noodle shop, Li Xian took Chen Mingyong for a stroll around Xidu University.
Looking at the dense crowd of pedestrians, Li Xian asked, "What did you see?"
Chen Mingyong thought for a while and said: "There are many people, and it is inconvenient to travel together. ”
Li Xian smiled, as a driver, Chen Mingyong was right to think of traffic first. But as a businessman, he had other ideas.
"There are business opportunities everywhere, and where there are people, there is a market. The development here is relatively backward, but it is the provincial capital city, or the largest city in the west, regardless of geographical location, humanities and politics, it is an ideal place for development. It's a pity that we won't be able to get out of Jiangdong for a while, so let's lay out the Jiangdong bureau first. ”
Chen Mingyong naturally didn't understand this, and just scratched his head incomprehensibly on the side.
"You go back with a word, don't stop the bureau of the major cities in Jiangdong, don't be afraid that the bank can't pay off the loan, step up the purchase of the lot, just afraid that next year, the house price will rise, although the increase is very slow, but for us, it is also a big loss. Next year's planning should also be carried out in advance, which is the trend of the times. ”
Since he knew that there was no happiness in this world, Li Xian was freed from that memory and only buried it in the deepest part of his heart. Now he is single-minded, and he just wants to make enough money.
Maybe one day, when technology is advanced enough, will it make everything happen again? Of course, this is just his unattainable dream.
According to Li Xian's request, Chen Mingyong tried his best to write down the pattern of the Western Capital and went back to inform Qian Liang.
Whether to leave a stronghold in the Western Capital, Li Xian planned to ask for Qian Liang's opinion.
Chen Mingyong rested all night, and left early the next morning, taking with him a letter that Li Xian had left for Qian Liang by the way.
Li Xian sent Chen Mingyong on the train and sighed, information exchange is too backward in this era, if only there was a mobile phone, why bother to make a special trip.
But he couldn't do anything, he had tried to imagine that Big Brother was not only expensive, but also had an unstable signal, and the practicality was not as good as that of a landline, it was completely an ornament, and only rich people used it to pretend to be forced.
"Then put on a phone. Li Xian's understatement caused an uproar not only in the 108 dormitory, but also in the entire class.
However, tickets are needed, although the state has gradually abolished food stamps and commodity stamps, but the telephone is a rare item, and it still needs to be handled with a ticket.
For this reason, Li Xian specially looked for Qi Ming.
