After making up his mind, Chen Qingdong got in touch with Cheng Xiaodong and asked him to have dinner together in the evening.

Since Cheng Xiaodong himself opened a restaurant, and also had his own teahouse, it didn't seem to be very interesting to invite him to a restaurant to eat or go to a teahouse to drink tea.

Chen Qingdong came to Linshuiyuan Farmhouse half an hour in advance, picked a relatively secluded and rarely visited water, prepared fishing tackle, and scattered the nest, waiting for Cheng Xiaodong to come, it was easier to catch the fish.

Cheng Xiaodong is a very punctual person, and he came to Linshui Garden five minutes before the agreed time, and then dialed Chen Qingdong's phone.

Chen Qingdong came to the entrance of the reservoir to pick up Cheng Xiaodong.

After a brief greeting between the two, Cheng Xiaodong followed Chen Qingdong towards the fishing area and said, "Qingdong, I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

"Busy. Our town is going to build roads, and we are also going to demolish and rebuild the market, these two activities almost entangled me to death, especially the demolition of the market, which made me tired and vomit blood. Chen Qingdong said with a slight exaggeration.

Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile: "Indeed, these are more laborious and laborious jobs, hehe, now that you're done?" ”

"yes." Chen Qingdong said with a smile, "It's finally over, those ordinary people have finally signed the demolition agreement, hehe, Brother Xiaodong, come here." ”

The two came to the place that Chen Qingdong had chosen in advance, sat down on the stool, and skillfully set up the fishing tackle, Chen Qingdong handed Cheng Xiaodong a cigarette and helped him light the fire, and then continued to chat.

"Brother Xiaodong, what have you been busy with lately?"

"It's still those things, in fact, there's nothing to be busy with, but I can't be idle, hehe......"

Chen Qingdong was masking whether to mention borrowing money now, or to do it later, but Cheng Xiaodong suddenly asked: "Qingdong, there was another tomb robber murder in your town some time ago, right?" ”

Chen Qingdong's heart sank, and he said: "There is such a thing, two ruffians died." ”

"Did you find any clues?"

"It doesn't seem to be, it's the same as the previous two tomb robber murders, it's all an unsolved case."

Cheng Xiaodong flicked down the ashes of his cigarette and said thoughtfully: "Why did there be a tomb robber after so long, and he killed someone, and I don't know if the tomb robber killed him." ”

Although Cheng Xiaodong said this sentence as if he was talking to himself, not asking Chen Qingdong a question, Chen Qingdong still said: "Everyone spreads this, and there is indeed a big tomb under the White Fox Mountain in our town that has been robbed, and it is said that the robbery hole is also very professional, so everyone thinks that this is the person killed by the tomb robbers." ”

A rather mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Xiaodong's mouth, and he seemed to have something to say: "Maybe." ”

Chen Qingdong frowned, wondering if Cheng Xiaodong knew anything inside? However, Zheng Hongtao did this thing so neatly that even Zhang Zikun didn't get any valuable clues after investigating in Shuangshan Town for three days, I'm afraid Cheng Xiaodong wouldn't know anything.

At this time, Cheng Xiaodong suddenly lifted the hook, and a half-sized carp more than 20 centimeters long was thrown out of the water.

Cheng Xiaodong took off the fish with a smile, put it in the basket, and said, "Qingdong, you have scattered the nest, right?" So good to fish? ”

"It did spill a little bit of a nest." Chen Qingdong said with a smile, "However, Brother Xiaodong, I see that you are very professional in swinging bait, drifting line and fishing just now, I think Brother Xiaodong must be a master of fishing, I knew this, I won't spread the nest, which reduces the fun of fishing." ”

Cheng Xiaodong glanced at Chen Qingdong with a little surprise, and said with a smile: "Qingdong, yes, you even know professional terms such as swinging bait and drifting line, it turns out that you are also a master of fishing." ”

Chen Qingdong naturally didn't tell Cheng Xiaodong, he met Xu Minglei, secretary of the county party committee, here, and knew that Xu Minglei was a fishing master, so he took the time to read a lot of books and magazines on fishing.

Chen Qingdong knows that he has seen so much knowledge of fishing and spent a lot of time and energy, which may not be useful, but once one day he has the opportunity to fish side by side with Xu Minglei, or chatted with Xu Minglei about fishing on a certain occasion, then the professional knowledge he specially reserved may be able to leave a deep impression on him in front of Xu Minglei, and it is even possible to change his future upward path.

Chen Qingdong will not give up any opportunity that may make him rise now!

However, in front of Cheng Xiaodong, a fishing master, Chen Qingdong still said bluntly: "I used to listen to and like to read fishing magazines, so I have some understanding of theoretical knowledge, but the real practice is far behind." Brother Xiaodong, I think you are indeed a real fishing master. ”

"Hehe, that's a coincidence." Cheng Xiaodong said, "I'm just the opposite of you, I don't know much about the theoretical things, but the actual fishing experience is quite rich." There used to be a period of time, almost more than half a year, I fished almost every day, you just said that the bait, drifting line these professional actions, I was half instructed by others, half of which I summed up in the actual fishing process. ”

"Brother Xiaodong, it turns out that you still have such a leisurely time." Chen Qingdong said with a smile.

Cheng Xiaodong lit another cigarette, took two puffs, raised his head slightly, and said as if recalling the past: "Qingdong, my days were really leisurely, every day in addition to eating and sleeping is fishing, or watching Hong Kong action movies, hehe...... However, that time was actually the most frightening period I ever lived. ”

The reason behind Chen Qingdong's this has already involved Cheng Xiaodong's privacy, so he didn't ask what's going on, lest Cheng Xiaodong be reluctant to mention this matter, which can only increase the embarrassment.

However, Cheng Xiaodong wanted to vomit quickly, and took the initiative to say: "Speaking of which, it has been three or four years, when I was still in Guangzhou with a Chaoshan gang boss and served as his bodyguard. Later, when my eldest brother had a conflict with the boss of another Fujian gang, I stabbed one of the main characters in the Fujian gang, and the guy in the middle of the ribs was almost stabbed to death. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaodong showed a wry smile, and continued: "After this incident, the little brother of the guy who was stabbed by me wanted to avenge their eldest brother, so he scraped me everywhere, and my eldest brother was afraid that something would happen to me, so he helped me send me to a small city in Vietnam to hide." At that time, I was afraid that others would find me, so I didn't dare to mess around, so I stayed in a small fishing village all day long, and when I had nothing to do, I fished every day, and it was at that time that I practiced my fishing skills. ”

"If it weren't for that incident, maybe I would have gained a foothold in Guangzhou by now, and I would be more or less the number one person." Cheng Xiaodong finally said with some regret.

After saying this, Cheng Xiaoran laughed again: "Of course, it is also possible that I have been killed by someone and thrown into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Regarding the topic that Cheng Xiaodong said, Chen Qingdong was not easy to answer, so he just smoked a cigarette and listened silently.

"Hehe, I was a little touched just now, and I accidentally said too much." Cheng Xiaodong smiled, "Qingdong, don't take it to heart." ”

"Hmm." Chen Qingdong replied simply.

While talking, Cheng Xiaodong caught another fish, or carp, but this time the fish was relatively large, and it was more than three catties by visual inspection, but Chen Qingdong hadn't even caught a single fish, in fact, this was not because Chen Qingdong's actual fishing ability was too poor, but because he had been thinking about how to talk to Cheng Xiaodong about borrowing money, and his mind was not on fishing at all, so he naturally couldn't catch fish.

Cheng Xiaodong, a shrewd person, naturally saw that Chen Qingdong looked very worried, and he also knew very well that Chen Qingdong called him over today, and he would definitely not be playing around.

After Cheng Xiaodong put the carp he caught into the basket, he hung the bait again, and after throwing the hook into the water with a beautiful flick method, he took the initiative to ask: "Qingdong, what should you do with me today?" Our brothers have known each other for so long, so if you have something, just say it. ”

Since Cheng Xiaodong took the initiative to mention it, Chen Qingdong stopped grinding and said, "Brother Xiaodong, I really have something to do with you today." ”

"Well, I guessed it." Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile, "Qingdong, just say something." ”

Chen Qingdong quickly organized his language and said: "Brother Xiaodong, that's the case, my brother took over the project of demolishing and building a new market in Shuangshan Town, but now there is a gap in funds, I know that Brother Xiaodong has opened an investment company, so I think I can borrow some money from you." ”

Cheng Xiaodong glanced at Chen Qingdong, and did not answer Chen Qingdong's question directly, but said: "Your brother took over the project to develop the market in Shuangshan Town?" Qingdong, with all due respect, taking on such a project in the township is probably a thankless effort. ”

Chen Qingdong smiled bitterly: "Yes." At that time, the mayor proposed to develop this project, looking for investors everywhere, but no one has been willing to take over, my brother opened a farm in Shuangshan Town, the scale and development prospects are OK, our secretary Zhang imposed this task on my brother, my brother really has no way, so he can only continue. ”

Cheng Xiaodong didn't dwell on this question anymore, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Xiaodong, how much is your brother's funding gap?" ”

"Five million." Chen Qingdong said bluntly.

"Five million?" Cheng Xiaodong frowned, "This is not a small amount." ”

"It's not a small amount." Chen Qingdong said.

"Did you get a loan from the bank?" Cheng Xiaodong's problem goes to the core.

"I took out a loan, but there is still ......a gap," Chen Qingdong said with some embarrassment, "Moreover, the Green Field Farm has been used as collateral ......"

"That's it......" Cheng Xiaodong took a puff of cigarette with some embarrassment.
