After Tang Xudong sent Luo Yun to the footbath city next door, they didn't drink too much, and after everyone drank two bottles of beer and voted, they ended the drinking game and came to the footbath city next door to rest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After they selected the service lady in the foot bath city, they entered the room, and Tang Xudong chose to do a pedicure with Chen Qingdong in a double room, which also made Chen Qingdong feel more at ease, since the two of them were in the same room, there would definitely be no special services.

However, Chen Qingdong also guessed that Tang Xudong chose to do a pedicure with him in a room, probably because after the pedicure was over, there was something to talk to him.

Because tonight they were just drinking and chatting, talking nonsense, but they didn't have any serious business.

Sure enough, after the two of them finished the foot bath, Tang Xu asked the two children to go out first, and asked the waiter to bring a fruit bowl and green tea.

Tang Xudong picked up a piece of cut watermelon and handed it to Chen Qingdong, and said with a smile: "Now that science and technology are really progressing, in such a cold winter, we can all eat such a good watermelon, if it was put in the past, where would you dare to think about it!" Secretary Chen, come, how about eating a piece and tasting it. ”

Chen Qingdong took a bite of the watermelon and exclaimed: "Well, it's good, it's sweet and crisp, it's really a good watermelon!" ”

Tang Xudong also picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it, and said while eating: "One of the favorite things that our generation liked to do when they were in school was to criticize the capitalist society in the West, in fact, we didn't understand anything at that time, what is a capitalist society and what is a socialist society, we don't know at all, but we are paranoid that in the capitalist society of the West, it is all those rich and powerful people who are powerful and prosperous, and the vast number of ordinary people are living in dire straits!" The ideal of many of us at that time was to start a third world war, and our people's soldiers would cross the Pacific Ocean, liberate the whole world, and rescue the ordinary people living in capitalism! Hehe, now that I think about it, it's really naïve! ”

Tang Xudong put down the watermelon rind, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, and continued: "Now that I am older, I have seen more things, and I have also been out of the country several times, I have looked at the United States and Europe, and I found that the people there live very happily, an ordinary office worker can live in a villa, drive a car, and people's lives are also very rich, in addition to work, they often participate in various activities, enjoy life, and will travel regularly, even those salarymen often go out to travel, Instead of saving money vigorously, in comparison, it is really much happier than most people in our country, and it is not living in water and fire at all! We don't have to liberate people at all, hehe......"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "This is the limitation of the times and vision!" So many countries in Europe and the United States are capitalist countries, their economic development is so good, their social welfare is relatively sound, and the vast majority of them are able to live in peace and contentment, obviously because of the superiority of their system. However, I believe that if theoretically our communism is certainly more rational than capitalism, and if this goal can be achieved, then everyone will take what they want, and then the common happiness of all mankind will be achieved. ”

"It's just that there is still a long, long way to go to realize the ideal realm of the world's great harmony, and the cause we are doing now is, in the final analysis, to realize this dream. Although it seems that this dream is a little unattainable now, but with the rapid development of society now, people's thinking will also change very quickly, so this ideal is not impossible to realize. ”

Tang Xudong said with a smile: "Secretary Chen is really idealistic, admire!" Admire! In the past, I may have had this belief that I could call it an 'ideal,' but now, I don't have much ambition. There is an old saying: If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. What I pursue now is to be able to live the rest of my life well, no longer have any strong winds and waves, and just enjoy life. ”

"Hehe, in fact, Mr. Tang's idea is also a life choice." Chen Qingdong said.

Tang Xudong said again: "Since I resigned, I have also done a few businesses with Lao Song, but now is not the hot time of the nineties!" At that time, you could make money almost as long as you did some business, but now, no matter what you do, the competition is fierce, and it's really difficult! ”

Chen Qingdong guessed that Tang Xudong had done so much foreshadowing, and he would definitely get to the point soon, but since Tang Xudong didn't take the initiative to bring it up, Chen Qingdong naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, so he picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly.

Tang Xudong really continued: "Secretary Chen, I heard that some mines in your town have expired and are ready to be contracted?" ”

Chen Qingdong smiled secretly, thinking that you have finally talked about this topic.

Chen Qingdong had already prepared the answer in his heart, so he said: "Yes, Mr. Tang, our town is in the process of rectifying mineral enterprises, and a number of mines are about to expire one after another. ”

Tang Xudong smiled and said, "This new method should be an open bidding, right?" ”

Chen Qingdong turned his gaze to Tang Xudong, and pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that Mr. Tang also knows about this, hehe, it seems that our propaganda work is also doing well." ”

Tang Xudong said again: "Secretary Chen, Lao Song and I still have a sum of money in our hands, and we are about to invest, but we really can't find any good projects." We thought about it for a while and felt that the current coal market was not bad, so we wanted to contract or buy a coal mine to do it. Secretary Chen, if we go to you to bid, are you welcome? ”

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Mr. Tang is willing to come to our Chenqiao to develop, then our Chenqiao is definitely full of brilliance!" How could I not welcome it? ”

Then, Chen Qingdong said with an embarrassed face: "It's just that, Mr. Tang, although we are old friends, I still have to talk about what I have to say." Originally, with our relationship, if you are willing to come to Chenqiao to contract the coal mine, then of course I have nothing to say, just pick a good quality coal mine and contract it to you, and you don't need to do anything at all. However, a few days ago, our town party committee held a meeting to study this matter, and finally decided that in the future, all mine contracts must be issued by open bidding. We have already put this resolution into written materials and reported it to the county party committee and the county government. So, Mr. Tang, if you are willing to come to our town to contract coal mines, I am afraid that you will have to sign up first and then bid according to this method! However, Mr. Tang, don't worry, with our relationship, as long as it can be streamlined, I will definitely give you the green light! So, Mr. Tang, I have done something inconsiderate, please forgive me! ”

Tang Xudong said a "little slippery head" in his heart, but his face was still full of spring breeze, and he smiled: "Secretary Chen, what are you talking about?" Your decision is very in line with the development of the times, and since I want to bid, I naturally have to abide by the rules! If Secretary Chen, you have to bypass this policy and give me another green light, then I am not willing! Because we are friends, not temporary friends, but long-term friends, how can I make a mistake for what I am doing? ”

Looking at Tang Xudong's serious appearance, Chen Qingdong thought that his eloquence was really good! In addition, Chen Qingdong is also very satisfied with Tang Xudong's attitude, since he did not open the back door as Zhang Yulong requested, but was willing to sign up for the bid in accordance with the rules, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Chen Qingdong said with an admiring look: "Mr. Tang, you really deserve to be the old leader of our county, and your ideological realm is indeed high!" To tell you the truth, in the past few days, many people have approached me, including many old friends and classmates, and most of them have asked me to open the back door for them and get the contracting rights of the mine without going through bidding. Actually, emotionally speaking, I want to help them, but in principle, I can't do that. ”

"Mr. Tang is not an outsider, so I will pour bitter water on you again. I went to Chenqiao as a secretary at such a young age, which made many people very red-eyed, and now I don't know how many eyes are staring at me, if I do anything illegal, or even illegal, I dare to guarantee that those letters to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate against me will definitely be as many as snowflakes! So I really can't help them, but if I don't help, it hurts my feelings, and I often can't sleep these days! Mr. Tang, I am really touched to hear you say this today! ”

Tang Xudong smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, I have to criticize and criticize those who make random demands on you here, since they are all your friends, then you shouldn't have such a difficult question at all." ”

Chen Qingdong said: "If everyone understands things like Mr. Tang, it would be great!" ”

Tang Xudong said with a smile: "Secretary Chen has won the award!" In this way, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will go to Chenqiao and officially sign up for the bidding, it's not too late, right? ”

"It's not too late! It's not too late! Chen Qingdong said repeatedly, "Even if it's late, I have to ask Mr. Tang to add a stopper!" Although I dare not disobey the big principled issues, I still have to do such small things, who calls us old friends! In this way, Mr. Tang, if you have time to come to Chenqiao in the past two days, you don't need to go to the enterprise to do it, come directly to my office, I will also call the people from the enterprise office over, let's drink tea and chat, and I will let the people from the enterprise do it for you. ”

"Secretary Chen, how embarrassing is this?"

"What's this, it's a trifle! In addition, there is another point, Mr. Tang, I told you in advance, after you come to Chenqiao, you must stay for a meal! No matter what, I have to do my best to be a landlord! ”

Tang Xudong smiled: "Okay, good, Secretary Chen, then I might as well be respectful!" ”
