Chapter 13: Arrival in the Merchant City
Jia Hui and Shen Weidong cooked together in the evening, cooked a lot of delicious food, and saw off Shen Congyun, in the middle, Shen Congyun accompanied his father to drink some wine, he was very happy, in the previous life, he was most eye-catching were those villains who were corrupt and powerful, but in the previous life, even if he couldn't see it anymore, he could only keep silent, because he didn't have this ability, but today's identity allows him to intervene, and he can get the power he wants, to meet some ideals that have been hidden in his heart for many years, how can he not be happy.
The next day, Jia Hui and Shen Weidong accompanied Shen Congyun to Mr. Shen's residence, where they had lunch, and went to visit Shen Weijun in the afternoon.
The night in Jinghua was very cold, and after Shen Congyun sent Liu Yuelan home, he parked the car by the river, and after getting out of the car, he looked at the moon in the sky and whispered: "Merchant City, I'm here." ”
On the second day, Shen Congyun embarked on the journey, and Shen Congyun, who was holding a large bag and a small box, got on the train to Merchant City.
The train was very crowded, but fortunately, Shen Congyun bought a ticket with a seat.
On the train, Shen Congyun saw a lot of businessmen who were neatly dressed and carrying electronic watches.
In the past two years, the country's policy has been very good, and many people with brains have either run to the magic capital or go to the pearl, they have relied on their own ingenuity to obtain the first pot of gold for their own business, and then emerge in this rapidly developing country and become a new generation of trendsetters.
However, after the train walked for nearly eight hours, it arrived at the boundary of Huangbei Province, and after arriving in Huangbei Province, there were many fewer businessmen on the train, Shen Congyun knew that Huangbei Province was like this in the last time and space, a large agricultural province, industry has always been at a disadvantage in the country, only one or two urban areas are more developed because of coal production, and the merchant city that Shen Congyun went to has always been an agricultural city, the largest in Huangbei, but also the most backward.
The mayor of Merchant City is called Lou Xiang, who is Shen Congyun's classmate in his early years, and has been in the position of mayor of Merchant City for nearly nine years, but because of regional influence, Merchant City has not been greatly developed, his political performance is mediocre, and he is not young.
At this time, Lou Xiang was already dead, but just a few days ago, he received a call from Shen Weidong from Jingshi, saying that his son was going to come down to work, do you have a suitable position in the merchant city, although Lou Xiang and Shen Weidong are classmates, but they haven't seen each other for many years, and they usually have no contact, Shen Weidong is a deputy ministerial-level leader, and he can call him for help, which shows that he still has some position in his heart, if his son comes to work in the merchant city, then Shen Weidong's contact with him will not be terminated in the future, if he can get on the big ship of the Shen family, the work scheduling will not be a problem, and it doesn't matter how old Shen Congyun is, immediately promised the position of the second-in-command of a township, to be honest, when Shen Weidong heard Lou Xiang's words, he was also taken aback, but he was very tempted, the township is facing the most grassroots people, and it is also the place where people can be trained the most.
After Shen Congyun got off the train, he realized how backward the merchant city was, the railway station had not been renovated, it was dilapidated, it should be because of the rain, the road was muddy, and there were some deep potholes in some places, three or four buses stopped in front of the train station, and the driver shouted in front of the car where to go.
Shen Congyun's eyes darkened, and he carried a large bag and a small bag down the steps in front of the station.
A middle-aged uncle walked up to Shen Congyun and said with a smile: "Young man, where are you going?"
"I went to the city hall. ”
"The city government, it's so far from here, I'll take a car to see you off, a dime, whether you can sit or not." The middle-aged uncle still had a smile on his face.
"What about your car?"
"You come with me. The middle-aged uncle said that he was going to help Shen Congyun carry the bag, and as soon as Shen Congyun wanted to hand the bag to the uncle, two people ran over.
One of the two young men was dressed in public security clothes, and the other middle-aged man was carrying a briefcase, wearing glasses, and wearing civilian clothes.
The two people ran to him, the man with glasses was a little out of breath, and he said with a smile, "Are you Shen Congyun?"
"yes, who are you?"
"Hello, my name is Zhang Mingzheng, and I am Mayor Lou's secretary, and I am here to pick you up. Saying that, Zhang Mingzheng stretched out his hand.
Shen Congyun hurriedly put the thing in his right hand on the ground and shook hands with Zhang Mingzheng: "Hello." ”
Zhang Mingzheng glanced at the middle-aged uncle and said, "I'm sorry, I've delayed your business." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. The middle-aged uncle left with a smile.
The young man in public security clothes helped Shen Congyun carry a big bag, and Zhang Ming was leading the way in front, and walked for more than ten minutes before he arrived in front of a Santana car, put the luggage in the trunk, and the public security cared, Zhang Ming was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and Shen Congyun, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the backward appearance of the merchant city, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The car drove for nearly an hour before arriving at the city government, the city government was quite majestic, a six-story building, Shen Congyun followed Zhang Siming to the fifth floor to see Lou Xiang.
The two stopped at the door of an office, Zhang Siming patted the door and said, "Mayor Lou, Shen Congyun is here." ”
"Please come in. ”
Hearing that Lou wanted permission, Zhang Siming pushed the door in, and Shen Congyun followed closely.
Lou wanted to be about the same age as Shen Weidong, but he looked much older than Shen Weidong, with gray hair on sideburns, dark skin, and a pair of reading glasses.
After Shen Congyun entered the house, Lou Xiang stood up from the office chair very enthusiastically, walked to Shen Congyun's side and said with a smile: "You are Minister Shen's son, Shen Congyun." ”
"Hello Mayor. Shen Congyun hurriedly bowed.
"You don't have a job yet, if you don't agree to call me mayor, just call me Uncle Lou. Lou Xiang looked reluctant.
Shen Congyun was used to seeing high-ranking officials in Jinghua, and saw that Lou Xiang behaved very freely, without any sense of nervousness, and after hearing Lou Xiang's words, he went down the slope and shouted: "Uncle Lou is good." ”
Lou Xiang laughed when he heard it, and after letting Shen Congyun sit down, he also did it to Shen Congyun's side, and said to Zhang Siming: "Xiao Zhang, pour two glasses of water." ”
Zhang Siming nodded and went out to pour water.
"Our merchant city is not as good as Jinghua, you will have to work here in the future, you must adapt to it, but you don't dare to disappoint your father and give up halfway." Lou wanted to say to Shen Congyun in the tone of an elder.
"Uncle Lou, don't worry, even if there is a big difficulty, I can persevere. ”
"That Congyun, how old are you this year. ”
"Twenty-one years old. Shen Congyun replied truthfully.
Lou thought for a moment and said: " I arranged for you is Huji, Zhejiang County, that township has a population of 60,000, covering a large area, the party secretary over there is called Zhou Zhiguo, the age is similar to me, is a soldier, has fought, is upright, may be a little old-fashioned, but the heart is not bad, in the future work, you will partner with him, do it well, uncle believes in you, can do a good job, you can consult Zhou Zhiguo when you encounter things, he is a person from Huji, there is a lot of prestige, you will be of great help to you, and, you go to Huji, if others ask you age, you say to them that you are twenty-five years old, so that the future work can be carried out。 ”
