Zhao Ping'an saw that Chen Qingdong didn't like him buying smuggled cars very much, and he regretted that he had said too much, so he really shouldn't have told him about it, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Qingdong, where do you want to eat?"

Chen Qingdong's nature was already a little light, and he said casually: "Otherwise, let's find a roadside stall, eat some barbecue, and drink some beer." ”

"Okay!" Zhao Ping'an said, "I know a very good barbecue stall, just on the barbecue street, the boss is an authentic Xinjiang person, the roast mutton and large plate chicken are very authentic, let's go to him." ”

The barbecue street that Zhao Ping'an said was originally a model commercial street planned and built by the county government, but after it was completed and operated, except for the hotel, all the other shops were not doing well, and they were transferred one after another, and then they were taken over by the person who opened the restaurant.

Later, after a long time, this "commercial demonstration street" became a restaurant street. In the summer, the barbecue business is booming, and almost every restaurant has a barbecue stall in front of the door, so it is privately called "barbecue street".

When the two came to the door of the restaurant called "Xinjiang Guli Barbecue Stall", the owner of the restaurant with a face similar to that of an Eastern European and a small white round hat hurriedly greeted them and said in a not very fluent Mandarin: "Boss Zhao, welcome to dinner!"

Zhao Ping'an smiled and said: "Boss, today my brother came to eat with you for the first time, you must show the highest level." ”

The Xinjiang boss said: "Don't worry, Boss Zhao!"

Zhao Ping'an asked Chen Qingdong at this time: "Qingdong, what do you want to eat?"

"Brother Zhao, you are familiar here, you know what is delicious, you can look at it. Chen Qingdong said.

"Oh, okay then. Zhao Ping'an walked to the freezer and looked at it, and said, "Boss, two catties of lamb chops, two lamb skewers, four lamb loins, a handful of beef, a handful of tendons, a heart tube, a handful of chicken wings, a handful of yellow croaker, in addition, you can fry four more specialty dishes, you must have that large plate of chicken, to fry a little spicy!"

"Brother Zhao, it's too much, where can the two of us finish eating?" Chen Qingdong said.

"Hey, eat slowly, it's still early!" Zhao Ping'an said, "Qingdong, what do you want to drink, beer or liquor?"

"If you eat barbecue, let's have beer. ”

"Okay, boss, give us a case of the best beer, cold one!"

After finishing the food and drinks, the two sat down at the table set up in front of the restaurant, blowing the evening breeze, which also felt very comfortable.

"Qingdong, we still have to move around more in the future, whether it's relatives or friends, the more we move, the closer we can be!" Zhao Ping'an said.

"Hehe, okay, every time I am with Brother Zhao, I can eat delicious food, I can't wait to walk around with Brother Zhao more. Chen Qingdong said slightly teasingly.

Zhao Ping'an didn't hear the ridicule in Chen Qingdong's tone at all, and said as if he was encouraged: "Qingdong, you're right about this! I don't have any other skills, but where there is delicious food and where there is fun, I am more proficient! Wait a minute, let's get together more, brother, I will take you to see and see, this world of flowers, there are still many interesting things!"

"Okay. Chen Qingdong said with a smile.

After the beer and barbecue came up, the two of them chatted while drinking, chatting about some inconsequential topics, Chen Qingdong knew that Zhao Ping'an called himself out to eat today, and he definitely still had to talk about contracting a barren mountain to open a stone quarry, but Zhao Ping'an didn't mention it, and of course he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

When the two of them were about to finish a case of beer, the sky had completely darkened, and Zhao Ping'an finally got to the point.

"Brother, you are now in the youth cadre class, you may not care about the affairs of the town, originally, I shouldn't have asked you now, but I really don't have any projects to do recently, so I want to get rid of the quarry. After completing this foreshadowing, Zhao Ping'an continued, "Brother, I don't know if there is any progress in contracting the barren mountain over there?"

Chen Qingdong had already made a draft, deliberately made an embarrassed look, put his hands on the table, frowned slightly and said: "Brother Zhao, in fact, the two of us went to Shuangshan Town last time, and after looking at the situation on the spot, the next day, I found Secretary Wei to report the matter, and also asked my brother to apply for Barren Mountain." However, Secretary Wei did not readily agree to this. ”

"Oh, what's going on? Isn't this something that the secretary of the county party committee has already spoken? Does Secretary Wei dare not act according to the words of the secretary of the county party committee?"

"Hehe, Brother Zhao, in fact, when Secretary Xu of the county party committee said this last year, he just said it casually in the county seat and made a suggestion to Secretary Wei, it was not a document issued in black letters, if Secretary Wei had other ideas, he couldn't find anything wrong. Chen Qingdong patiently explained.

"However, brother, when I found Wei Hailong and proposed to contract the barren mountain, he used the words of the county party secretary to prevaricate me! Now, he doesn't want to contract the barren mountain to your farm, so how is he going to develop it?" Zhao Ping'an was a little anxious, just now he was more respectful to call him "Secretary Wei", but now he only casually calls him "Wei Hailong".

"Well, in fact, there is no accurate letter, so I haven't talked back to you. Chen Qingdong said, "However, I did get a small piece of news, it seems that there are some big people in the city, and they have also fallen in love with this land, as if they are going to come here to develop an 'ecological park' or something." ”

"Ecological park?" Zhao Ping'an couldn't help laughing, "Brother, don't be funny, people develop ecological parks, which can be regarded as developing a tourism industry to attract guests to consume." But in such a remote place as Shuangshan Town, the roads are so bumpy and bumpy, if you drive there, it will be like falling apart, who will go there to develop what ecological park? Besides, even if the ecological park is built, who will go there to consume?"

In fact, the situation that Zhao Ping'an said is also the situation that Chen Qingdong is worried about, and it is indeed a bit unbelievable to develop an ecological park in Shuangshan Town.

However, considering Zhao Changbin's identity and if he can apply for this project, he will get a large amount of matching funds, and after developing the ecological park, he may be able to make a fortune!

In addition, there is a very good quality wild willow artemisia in Shuangshan Town, if it is developed well, it can indeed bring Zhao Changbin a very objective profit.

These reasons made Chen Qingdong believe that Zhao Changbin told him that day that he was going to come to Shuangshan Town to invest, not for fun.

However, Chen Qingdong naturally didn't say these inside stories to Zhao Ping'an, but just followed Zhao Ping'an's words and said: "Brother Zhao, what you said also makes sense. ”

Zhao Ping'an picked up a skewer of barbecue and ate it slowly, put down the skewer and said, "Brother, I don't think the truth of what Wei Hailong told you is not high. Wei Hailong did this, maybe he wanted to get some oil and water from it, right?"

Zhao Ping'an's idea is very reasonable, and Chen Qingdong is naturally inconvenient to refute, so he echoed: "There is such a possibility." ”

"Wei Hailong's guts are really fat! It's all at this time, and he dares to reach out and ask for money, hehe......" Zhao Ping'an sneered.

Chen Qingdong's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhao, did you hear any news?"

This time, Zhao Ping'an didn't say any more, but picked up his wine glass and said, "Forget it, Qingdong, find a chance, I'll go and meet Wei Hailong again." If he asks for money, it would be better to do it, but I am afraid that if he does not want money and does not give him services, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. Cheers!"

Chen Qingdong picked up the cup and drank it.

Originally, Chen Qingdong wanted to tell Zhao Ping'an about these things, if Zhao Ping'an gave up contracting the matter of Baihu Mountain to run a quarry, he would tell Zhao Ping'an about his other idea. But now, the topic can't be talked about here, so Chen Qingdong can't talk about his other proposal, so he has to keep his mouth shut.

In addition, Chen Qingdong is also very much looking forward to Zhao Changbin being able to reply to him as soon as possible.

Since Zhao Changbin and Xu Wei left here satisfactorily that day, they have not contacted him again. And he thought that if he took the initiative to contact Zhao Changbin, it seemed that he was too urgent, and when he talked about cooperation with Zhao Changbin later, he would be at a great disadvantage.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Qingdong also decided not to take the initiative to contact Zhao Changbin, just waiting for him to reply. Anyway, he has a way out, if Zhao Changbin is like a yellow crane, then it is better to open a stone field with Zhao Ping'an!

Just when Chen Qingdong was thinking nonsense, Zhao Ping'an asked, "Qingdong, have you contacted Gao Zhen recently?"

Every time Zhao Ping'an called Gao Kun, he called "Gao Zhen" very respectfully, and he had never heard him call "Gao Kun" by his name, and every time they ate together, Zhao Ping'an behaved more obediently in front of Gao Kun.

From this point, Chen Qingdong can also see that Zhao Ping'an's views on Gao Kun, especially on Gao Kun's future value, are extremely consistent with his own views!

They all think that Gao Kun will definitely develop in the future, and they can also get what they want from Gao Kun, so they will trust Gao Kun "without hesitation" now!

Thinking that he and Zhao Ping'an were still comrades-in-arms on the same front at this level, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "I haven't had much contact, I've been in class recently." ”

"Alas!" Zhao Ping'an sighed and said, "Gao Zhen has been having a hard time lately!"

"What's going on?" asked Chen Qingdong busily.

"It's just some people who are stumbling behind their backs! Gao Zhen has really been sued by someone recently!" Zhao Ping'an shook his head again and said.

"Sue Gao Zhen what?"

"What else can there be? It can't be just some economic problems, lifestyle problems, violations of the family planning policy, and so on!" Zhao Ping'an said, "Some people, for their own interests, really do everything!"
