The day before Secretary Lan's mother-in-law's funeral, Chen Dongxu got his wife's mobile phone number and the address of his mother-in-law's house from Secretary Lan's driver. Chen Dongxu drove dozens of kilometers to his mother-in-law's house, and his private car had already made people tie black yarn and white flowers in advance.

Secretary Lan's mother-in-law's family lives in the township, according to local customs, people should return to their roots after death, so their mother-in-law's ashes were buried in the self-kept mountain of his hometown, and asked the Taoist priest to see the period of burial. Before burial, the urn of the deceased is kept at home for a few days, and some are also made in a French manner, which is commonly referred to as an open road. The open road is divided into a big open road and a small open road, the big open road has to toss for a day or two, the younger generations have to kneel and keep the spirit, and the concert of the Taoist priests is broadcast live, the Taoist priests are motivating Walla all night long I don't know what to sing, sometimes it's really a bit funny. Because his mother-in-law's family is a cadre's family after all, it is relatively low-key, and only makes a small road in accordance with local customs.

Since Chen Dongxu came here, he has not stopped at his feet, helping to book banquets, helping to greet guests, helping to prepare things, of course, during this period, he must have to pay a little money in advance.

"Sister Hui (Secretary Lan's wife), mourn, my aunt's ashes will be sent up the mountain in my car. My car is very low-key, the secretary went to the province for a meeting, and he also hopes that the team will be low-key, so I suggest that I don't use Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and it is best to replace them with ordinary vehicles. ”

"Xiao Chen, I don't agree to get those luxury cars to send my mother, Lao Lan also specifically explained to me that I must keep a low profile, but this is Lao Lan's classmates and friends insist on sending my mother, and I can't refuse."

"Sister Hui, if you listen to me, there will be nothing wrong. In this way, you can tell them that Secretary Lan is calling, and luxury cars are not allowed to appear in the convoy, and they will definitely be obedient. ”

"But where are you going to find so many cars now?"

"Sister Hui, I did the math, many of your sisters and relatives have driven cars, and with mine, it's almost the same."

"Xiao Chen, how can you use your car? You are on the path of officialdom, don't you want to be taboo? ”

"Sister Hui, the secretary was busy with work and didn't come to the funeral, I came to help with it, it's all my own people, don't be taboo."

"Xiao Chen, you are too polite, you arranged things at the head of the way, thank you very much. In this way, when I leave, I will hang a red cannon on your car and charge you. ”

"Sister Hui, don't be like this, really, my aunt is so kind and kind, I respect her very much, I can personally send my aunt, that's my honor." In fact, Chen Dongxu had never seen her mother at all, and he said these words as a kind of polite remark. In this way, his mother-in-law's urn went up the mountain in Chen Dongxu's private car.

A few days later, Secretary Lan was in the bedroom.

"Lao Lan, Chen Dongxu from the city government office came on the day of my mother's funeral, this kid is quite flexible, he is not idle as soon as he enters the door, he helps book restaurants, greets guests, prepares things, and arranges things at the head of the way, and he also uses his own private car to send his mother's ashes up the mountain, which is not taboo at all."

"Chen Dongxu, is that Chen Dongxu, the director of the municipal government office?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Why is he here? I don't remember telling anyone about your mother's departure. ”

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, it must be the people around you who accidentally leaked their mouths."

"He didn't give a gift, did he?"

"No, not a penny of gifts was given, people know your temper. The convoy that sent Ling that day originally had seven or eight luxury cars, and Xiao Chen suggested that I not use luxury cars, but later I only used my relative's car, which was very low-key, and there was no luxury car. ”

"Well, Chen Dongxu is reliable in this matter!" Secretary Lan's expression did not change in the slightest, but the name Chen Dongxu left an imprint in Secretary Lan's mind. In this way, Chen Dongxu did not give gifts, did not cry graves, and did not guard the spirit, but planted the seeds of hope in Secretary Lan's heart.

A restaurant.

Song Xinyu: "Brother Qiang, don't you want to invite me to eat noodles?" It must be expensive here, right? ”

"I've wronged you so much by eating noodles, you've done me so much of a favor, so I have to treat you to something good."

"Brother Qiang, you didn't call me here today just to eat, right?"

"You're right, I invited you today to help me plan and plan, should I continue to operate this factory after I buy it?"

"You're crazy, and you're still running a factory, I advise you to finish this matter after you get the compensation, don't make trouble for yourself. I don't know why you went to the trouble of buying that dilapidated factory until now, you already knew it was going to be demolished, didn't you? ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." Wen Qiang pretended to be very mysterious.

"Hey, how much money will the government pay you for this demolition? Half a million or a million? ”

"You think the government is stupid, and that won't be known until the assessment results of the appraisal company."

"Anyway, I still admire your courage, who would be willing to buy such a broken factory if you change someone else?"

"Xinyu, if, I mean, if the government pays me a very high compensation and allocates land for me to set up a factory, then will I do it or not?"

"Of course not, wouldn't it be nice to resell the land to someone else and you make another profit from it? Why do you have to work hard to set up a factory? ”

"What you said is not unreasonable, but I have my own ideas, this factory is my own factory after all, maybe this is the starting point of my career." Wen Qiang's eyes were full of enthusiasm and longing for his career.
