Peng Qun was talking to Qi Tianxiang, walked to his car, and was just about to get into the car, when he saw a red car quickly stopping in front of his car. [Ran^Text^Library] "It's too much", the sudden change startled Peng Qun, his heart tightened, and he was just about to get angry, when he saw a tall figure coming out of the red car, stepping on the cat and walking towards him. Immediately, Peng Qun was not angry, but he was thinking about how to get out.

"My big secretary, it's really hard to see you!" As he spoke, his body had already arrived in front of Peng Qun, and he pulled Peng Qun's arm affectionately, and said in an ambiguous tone: "I miss me." ”

"Don't dare, sister-in-law." Peng Qun could only cope perfunctorily, "You miss me, but my brother doesn't want to." ”

"Nasty." The woman slapped Peng Qun's arm coquettishly, and said in a loud voice: "If you don't answer the phone, you can't find it, you will die!" ”

Peng Qun hurriedly beckoned Qi Tianxiang to come over and introduced him: "Yao Hong, a famous private entrepreneur in Qinghe City, a strong woman. He said to Yao Hong: "Qi Tianxiang, the incoming secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." ”

"Secretary Qi, hello!" After listening to Peng Qun's introduction, Yao Hong restrained Meng Lang's expression and stretched out his hand generously: "Yao Hong, from Qinghe Group." ”

"Hello, it's indeed a big name, I've heard of Mr. Yao's name for a long time, but I just didn't have a chance to see it!" Qi Tianxiang politely shook Yao Hong's hand gently, and couldn't help but look carefully at the so-called strong woman in front of him, with a tall figure like a model, a thin waist, well-maintained skin, especially the big eyes on the thin face, smart and lively, full of charm and temptation, the whole body is like a ** fire, which seems to be able to burn and devour all the creatures around him immediately.

"Look at what you say." Yao Hongyan glanced at Qi Tianxiang and said with a smile: "You also eat my tofu like Lao Peng." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Peng Qun again, and said in a snort: "My senior secretary, how happened to what I told you last time, it's been more than two months. ”

"What's the matter?" Peng Qun pretended to be puzzled and said, and suddenly patted his head, "Ao, I remembered." He beckoned to Qiao Shang and said, "You first invite Mr. Yao to the office to take a rest, and you have to receive it well, I can't spare you if you neglect you." After speaking, he said to Yao Hong: "I'm sorry, I'm going to go out with Secretary Qi, you go to the office and wait for me first, and we will have dinner together at noon." ”

"You're not fooling me, are you?" Yao Hong said dissatisfiedly: "No, who in our family will say it?" ”

"Where, where." Peng Qun said repeatedly, and did not forget to praise, "This Porsche Cayenne is good, it costs more than one million, right?" As he spoke, he pulled Qi Tianxiang into the car and said mysteriously, "Do you know who this goblin is?" ”

"Know a little", Qi Tianxiang echoed.

"Some people make a fortune by their ancestors, some people get rich by wisdom, some people earn money by guts, but some people rely on their faces." Peng Qun's interest suddenly increased, and he discussed, "His grandmother's, what kind of world is this." ”

Qi Tianxiang was silent, of course he knew what Peng Qun was talking about? This Yao Hong is Qian Xiangzhong's lover, which is a fact that many people in Qinghe officialdom know. This Yao Hong used to be a waiter in a city hotel, and somehow got along with Qian Xiangzhong, it has been more than ten years, and it seems that he does not shy away from going in and out of pairs, openly and coveringly, especially after Qian Xiangzhong's wife went to the United States to accompany the children, the two lived together.

Yao Hong worked in Qinghe Hotel until the deputy manager, but one day suddenly resigned from the hotel and started a company, first Qinghe Seafood Restaurant, Qinghe Hotel, transportation company, financial investment company, and later entered the real estate, doing the wind and water, and became a famous female entrepreneur in Qinghe in just a few years. Some people say that these are all operations of Qian Xiangzhong behind the scenes, and some people say that Qian Xiangzhong can't control this woman anymore, and he can say anything.

But Yao Hong's coming to the plain was unexpected, and Qi Tianxiang asked strangely: "What is she doing in the plain?" Qinghe City is not enough for her toss"?

"Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, she took a fancy to the original machine tool factory and wanted to use it to build a villa, isn't the county not so strict? But I don't want to think about it, can it be her turn? ”

Qi Tianxiang didn't answer again, even if there was such a good thing, how could she reach out to pick peaches from Qinghe. Thinking of peaches and rosés, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

Peng Qun looked at Qi Tianxiang strangely and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Seeing Qi Tianxiang smiling and silent, he couldn't help laughing.

Soon saw the colorful flags in front of him, the balloon floating in the air, Qi Tianxiang looked at the scenery in front of him and said lightly: "It's not far!" ”

"It's not far away, a small county town, how far you want to go." Peng Qun said calmly: "This is the reason why I don't let you drive a car too, it's too ostentatious and not interesting." As he spoke, he diligently pulled the car door and got out of the car.

Qi Tianxiang smiled secretly, Peng Qun was right, coming out of the county party committee compound, the straight-line distance was only about two kilometers, and it took more than twenty minutes to walk, but the feeling of walking over and the feeling of coming by car were completely different, and he also understood that what Peng Qun didn't say, that is, he didn't want Qi Tianxiang to suppress his scenery.

Qi Tianxiang was led into the arch by Miss Manners and walked to the place where the ribbon was cut. Standing on the platform covered by the big curtain, Qi Tianxiang calmly looked at the noisy scene, as if he was just a bystander, and all this had nothing to do with him.

He rejected Peng Qun in the office just now, a commercial project was capped, what to make a fuss about, what to cut the ribbon, but Peng Qun's words made him feel as if he owed something here.

"Support other people's work, it's not easy for Gao Shan to undertake this project, a housing project that is close to completion, and he has come back to life in his hands, shouldn't he be congratulated?" Peng Qun said eloquently: "What's more, on the day you picked up the wind, a meal made 10,000 yuan, don't you have to express it!" Then Peng Qun immediately said: "Just kidding, joking, two different things, two different things." ”

Saying so, in fact, it's the same thing, taking other people's short hands and eating other people's short mouths, not going to the scene, saying that it is light is ignorant of current affairs, and saying that it is heavy is ungrateful, not knowing how to lift.

This is a project near the Plains Park, named Park No. 2, with a total of four 22-storey high-rise buildings, and four other similar high-rise buildings in the second phase, becoming a high-end landmark building in the middle of the plains.

Today is the day of the capping of four high-rise buildings at the same time, which also means that you can start pre-sale and recycle investment, which is an important day for builders and returning residents, although there will be a long time for the construction of water and sewage pipe networks, door and window installation, exterior wall painting and environmental remediation, it can also be said that the capping is only the end of the construction part, only half of the dry, but after all, the building has a look, and there is hope for occupancy.

Gao Shan made careful preparations for this, not only the scene was warmly and grandly arranged, but also specially hired more than a dozen buses to pull customers to build momentum, Qinghe TV station and newspaper also invited reporters to report on the spot, and invited many entrepreneurs from the province, Qinghe City and Pingyuan County to support the scene, and the crowds inside and outside the venue were crowded, attracting a lot of onlookers.

The ribbon-cutting event was warm and grand, Qi Tianxiang, Peng Qun, Director Liu Hui of Qinghe Urban Construction Bureau, and Gao Shan jointly cut the ribbon for the capping of the community, Peng Qun delivered an enthusiastic speech, and tried his best to praise Gao Shan's sense of responsibility and social morality as an entrepreneur, as well as the spirit of sharing worries and solving problems for local economic development and having the courage to live in difficulty for enterprises. Peng Qun's speech won warm applause, and then Director Liu Hui expressed congratulations, Gao Shan's speech was low-key and humble, thanks to the strong support of the county party committee and county government, thanks to the active assistance of the Municipal Urban Construction Bureau, thanks to the support and understanding of the residents, thanks to the guests for their support and love, in addition to thanks or thanks, the face is always filled with a warm smile, the smile is modest and sincere.

Originally, he wanted to ask Qi Tianxiang to speak, but he decisively refused, and he smiled calmly from beginning to end, subtle and indifferent.

In the crowd below, Qi Tianxiang suddenly found Li Zheng, and he didn't know when he came and why he appeared in the audience.

After the ceremony, Peng Qun left in a hurry, although he could hide, but he didn't have the courage to deliberately hang Yao Hong's cold field, after all, Qian Xiangzhong couldn't afford to offend.

Qi Tianxiang rejected Peng Qun's proposal to accompany Yao Hong to dinner, to be honest, Qi Tianxiang was a little worried about eating with Yao Hong, and he didn't want to see her angry expression.

Gao Shan tried his best to invite Qi Tianxiang to his Gaoshan Hotel for a luncheon, and when he was in a dilemma, Li Zheng came over and relieved him. said that he had something important to report to Secretary Qi, and pulled him away from the mountain and the crowd.

"Well, it doesn't feel good to be hung somewhere!" Because of the last wine, the distance between the two is also closer, and Li Zheng's attitude towards him has also changed a little.

"Why are you here, and you're sneaking around the stage?" Qi Tianxiang's tone was full of ridicule, but there was a smile on his face.

"In the past, a friend came to the newspaper, and I was embarrassed not to accompany him, so I didn't move forward," Li Zheng explained, "People don't have my dish on their plates, so we don't have to make up the numbers." ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Tianxiang immediately became alert, "There is something in the words? ”

"Don't you see that there are a lot fewer people who should be here on such occasions?" Li Zheng implicitly reminded Qi Tianxiang.

Qi Tianxiang immediately felt that something had come out of the aftertaste? To say that such an activity, the resurrection of unfinished buildings to the top, and the hope of hundreds of residents of the oil factory to relocate, such a major event should be a major event in the county's political and economic life, and the activities in which the secretary of the county party committee personally participated, the leaders of the people's congress, the government, the CPPCC, and the armed forces department should all attend, but now except for Peng Qun, even the county magistrate and the deputy secretary of the county party committee did not participate.

"What is the reason?" Qi Tianxiang asked briefly.

"It's all hidden, County Magistrate Hao has a meeting in the city, Director Lou has gone to the province to check his health, Chairman Han is living in the hospital, and I am also reporting in the city, so I don't have time." Li Zheng said meaningfully: "I also showed up when Secretary Peng left me. ”

Qi Tianxiang crossed one question mark after another in his mind, but he didn't know which one was closer to the answer. Li Zheng saw that Qi Tianxiang fell into deep thought, so he said mysteriously: "Do you want to know what the reason is?" Come with me to meet someone and I'll solve your doubts.

As he spoke, Li Zheng took Qi Tianxiang to the side of the road, where a sedan stopped, as if waiting for Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng. Qi Tianxiang glanced at the license plate, it was a car from Qinghe City.

After getting into the car, Li Zheng introduced the man who drove to Qi Tianxiang, "This is Wang Jinlong, a reporter from Qinghe Newspaper, my good buddy, a well-known name in the Qinghe press industry, and his brother is Wang Jinchang, director of our Hehai Provincial Office in Beijing, you must have an impression." ”

Qi Tianxiang immediately appeared in front of his eyes the image of a middle-aged man who was not tall, shrewd and capable, he had been to the house several times, and his impression was very good, so he shook Wang Jinlong's outstretched hand and said enthusiastically: "Your brother and I know, a very good and capable person, I have worked hard for you this time." ”

"You're so polite, it's my profession, it's what I should do." Wang Jinlong said with a modest smile.

"We're going to meet somebody and do an inside investigation." Li Zheng took over the words and said to Qi Tianxiang: "You just listen, just watch, try not to ask, let Jin Long come." ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded silently, and understood what Li Zheng said that day to show him some truth, maybe this is part of the truth. I can't help but feel a little inexplicably excited, and a little nervous.

The car quickly left the county seat, drove straight out of the city, drove for about 20 minutes, gradually left the plain area, walked to the front of a mountain, drove into a sand and gravel field, and finally stopped in front of a shed, Qi Tianxiang followed Wang Jinlong and Li Zheng into the shed.

The shed was a little dim, and it was difficult to get used to it when it suddenly came in from the bright noon environment outside. After a while, he gradually got used to it, and Qi Tianxiang looked at this ordinary shed. Although Qi Tianxiang has no experience of living in a shed, it is basically the same, that is, the rows of beds, and the quilts stacked randomly on the beds, messy, simple, and smelly, what he sees is basically the same as Qi Tianxiang's imagination, but it seems to be neat.

After a while, a man walked in and looked at Li Zheng and Qi Tianxiang vigilantly.

"Don't worry, it's all my friends." Wang Jinlong faced the man and whispered comfortingly, it seems that this is not the first time they have met.

The man froze and walked over to shake hands with Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng. Qi Tianxiang felt that the hand he was holding was very thin and dry, his bones and green tendons were exposed, and he felt a little awkward, but it was very powerful and serious, and he couldn't help but look at the man in front of him carefully.

The man looked like he was in his fifties, very thin and very weak, his hair was gray and sparse, his face was very dark, but his eyes were resolute, he was wearing a work clothes, as if he was still working just now, he felt like a working worker, and he didn't feel like it.

"You can't see your identity, do you?" Li Zheng whispered in Qi Tianxiang's ear: "If I tell you that the big boss in front of you is worth hundreds of millions, you will not believe it." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Li Zheng without speaking, and turned his head to stare at the thin man's face.

"My name is Zhang Fugui, and this friend is right, I am the developer of Park No. 2." The man looked at Qi Tianxiang with straight eyes, his eyes calm and indifferent.

"Didn't you break the capital chain and run away with the money? Why are you still here? Qi Tianxiang's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise, as if he didn't believe his eyes, the person he saw in front of him was fundamentally different from the experience he had read in the materials. An unscrupulous real estate developer who ran away with money would be standing in front of him with such an image and situation, and his doubts, consternation, and incomprehension were all written on his face for a while, forgetting the reminder on Li Zheng's car, and couldn't help blurting out the questions.

"It's all a well-designed scam, I, I, I'm suffering!" A question instantly aroused Zhang Fugui's sadness, his emotions were out of control in an instant, his voice was choked and he couldn't continue, tears rolled involuntarily in his eyes, and then he simply covered his face and whimpered in a low voice, tears gradually flowed out of the thick fingers of the bones, and the shaking shoulders kept shaking gently.

Zhang Fugui's sudden loss of control immediately made the atmosphere in the workshop solidify, and the conversation fell into a cold field. At this time, a worker came in and brought a thermos and an enamel tea jar, and Wang Jinlong poured water on several jars, handed them to Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng respectively, and motioned them to sit down and wait patiently for a while.

Zhang Fugui cried for a while, and finally stopped, but there were still tears on his face, and he said apologetically: "When I get older, tears are worthless, and I want to cry when I think of some past things." ”

Qi Tianxiang suddenly felt sad, if it wasn't sad and desperate to the extreme, it would be unimaginable for a man in the prime of life to cry. A man does not cry because it is not time for him to cry. At the same time, it was concluded that this man's tears could not be faked.

Zhang Fugui took the teapot handed over by Wang Jinlong, drank a few sips of water, settled his mood, and slowly explained the reason.

Zhang Fugui is a native of Jiangnan, Jiangnan's construction team is well known all over the world, more than ten years ago from his hometown, first followed others to work, and then found out some doorways, returned to his hometown to gather some relatives, friends and people from the village, organized a construction team, went south to the north to contract projects, and slowly grew in strength, the construction team became a construction company, became a construction development company, and accumulated a certain amount of financial resources and qualifications in a few years. During the construction of the teaching building of Pingyuan Middle School, an incident occurred in Pingyuan that shocked the whole province, a three-story brick and concrete building in the dormitory of the oil factory collapsed after a heavy rain, and four people died at that time, which shocked the provincial and municipal leaders and put the renovation of the dormitory of the oil factory on the agenda.

The oil factory is a local state-owned enterprise built in the fifties of the last century, using the advantages of peanuts and rape in the plains to produce edible and industrial oils. After the reform and opening up, township enterprises have sprung up, and dozens of oil mills and workshops have been built in various oil-producing towns and towns, and after the supply of raw materials has been cut off, the factories have been supported for several years, but the equipment is aging, the workers are burdened with a lot of burden, and the competitiveness of the products is weakened. The enterprise is gone, and the first park in Pingyuan County was built after the factory land was demolished, but the enterprise is gone, the workers of the enterprise are still there, and the family area built by the enterprise is still there. After the collapse of the enterprise, laid-off workers have become a long-standing problem in the county, the young ones try to settle down, and the older ones go through the retirement procedures in advance, but there are still petitioners from time to time, and the housing problem is the biggest contradiction.

There are more than 20 houses in the family area, which have been built one after another since the factory was built in the 50s, some in 40 or 50 years, some in more than 30 years, because it was only an expedient measure to resettle workers at that time, all of them were simple houses, and they were in disrepair and the number of residents increased, and the contradictions became increasingly intense, and the most serious was the problem of dilapidated houses, although they kept repairing and repairing, but they could not solve the fundamental problems. Several county party committees and county government teams have made up their minds to reform, but the reality of the county's finances being stretched, as well as the large number of households in the old community, the small area of general housing, and even worse is that the dormitory area is all low-income people, and there is no economic strength to buy a house, so it can only be delayed again and again, but after the collapse of the building and the death of the person came out, the county party committee and the county government were pushed down in a desperate situation, and they can no longer be delayed.

At that time, the secretary of the county party committee was Qian Xiangzhong, and he tried all means, but the large development company was not interested in the small county, and the local development company was unwilling to undertake it.

Zhang Fugui knew that this was a difficult problem, and that the development and construction of such a shantytown was not something that a company like him could afford alone, but he could not afford Qian Xiangzhong's threats and temptations, coupled with the unfinished project funds for the construction of the school, and he also hoped to continue to undertake the project in the plains, and did not dare to offend the local officials. In addition, after detailed calculations, if you add the land of the market part, you can build eight eighteen-story buildings, the first phase of the four buildings can basically meet the needs of the relocated households, the second phase of the second two buildings as resettlement, the two houses can be sold as commercial housing, can recover the investment and have a certain profit, the more secret algorithm is that because the oil factory dormitory is in the center of the county, the surrounding business is developed, the bottom of the eight buildings can be fully utilized, and it is a lot of income to operate or sell by themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Fugui half-pushed and half-agreed on the spot, but he didn't expect that the high-rise construction qualifications he did not have would become a hidden danger of catastrophe in the future.

The early stage is very smooth, the problems encountered in the relocation and demolition have not appeared at all, the shadow of the dead man has always lingered in the residents of the oil factory, the government gives money to be able to move out of the people are happy, the new house can be relocated after the construction, and it does not need to spend too much money to improve the housing conditions, where to find such a good thing. Therefore, as soon as the notice and room type drawings were posted, the families rushed to sign the agreement and move, and soon the conditions for starting construction were met.

On the day of the groundbreaking, Huang Qingdu, director of the Provincial Construction Committee and mayor of Qinghe, personally came to congratulate the groundbreaking, and the provincial and municipal news units came to report, and the TV news was also on the "News Network" of the Central Channel, which was very beautiful. The project was very smooth, and the first phase of the four buildings had a certain scale in less than half a year, and Qian Xiangzhong also fulfilled his promise, coordinated several banks, and issued some loans, alleviating Zhang Fugui's financial problems.

Soon Qian Xiangzhong was transferred to Qinghe City, first as deputy mayor, and then as mayor, and with more things, he put the plain housing project in the back of his mind. The secretary and county magistrate who took over were not very enthusiastic, because this was the people's project of the predecessor, and it was also a gold paste on the face of the predecessor, Peng Qun arrived two years ago, but he was very concerned, but as time went by, especially after the high-profile introduction of Gaoshan, he was lukewarm to Zhang Fugui, and even said on several occasions that Zhang Fugui was too picky, and he was not benevolent to the rich, and he did not know how to feed the people of the plains, especially after the introduction of Gaoshan to provide sand and gravel cement for the project was politely refused, he felt that Zhang Fugui did not cooperate, and he treated it lukewarmly. After all, Zhang Fugui is still building a building for the plain, and after all, he is still doing things for the plain.

Therefore, the forcible blocking of the road to the construction site and the forced acceptance of the supply of sand and cement in the high mountains is also turning a blind eye, believing that it is only an economic dispute and can be resolved through negotiation.

But Gao Shan somehow knew that Zhang Fugui's project qualifications were incomplete, especially the real estate began to be hot, Gao Shan took a fancy to the opportunity, and began to sue, and the provincial and municipal construction authorities sued all over again, so that the provinces and cities directly investigated and dealt with it, and ordered to stop work and make up the relevant procedures. At the same time, some people were gathered to openly force Zhang Fugui to give up the project or joint development, and even threatened Zhang Fugui's personal safety, causing a car accident that almost killed Zhang Fugui, inciting the relocated households to protest at the construction site, and petitioning the county party committee.

Under the predicament of internal and external troubles, especially after Zhang Fugui was kidnapped, Zhang Fugui, who has always been tough, succumbed and transferred the project to a real estate development company in Gaoshan at a low price, and he returned to the status of a builder. Nearing the end of the project, Gao Shan changed his mind again, not only did not pay for the project, but also put Zhang Fugui under house arrest in disguise, got him to his own sand and gravel yard, and sent someone to guard it, but the workers who worked still sympathized with Zhang Fugui and let him move freely as long as the guards were not there. Wang Jinlong's first visit was that the workers sent the materials to the newspaper office and arranged a time for them to meet.

Listening to Zhang Fugui's cry, Qi Tianxiang didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and his chest was like a big stone, and he couldn't breathe. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was happening right in front of him, and he couldn't imagine that the collusion of interests had reached such an extent.

"What kind of role is Secretary Peng in these things?" Qi Tianxiang stared at Li Zheng and said word by word.

"It's not the mastermind, it's also a participant, otherwise it's impossible for just one businessman to take it like this." Li Zheng said affirmatively, turned his face and asked Zhang Fugui: "You haven't reported this matter to Secretary Peng?" ”

"Not only Secretary Peng, but even Mayor Qian has also reported, and it's not once or twice." Zhang Fugui eagerly defended, "Still in the construction stage, I found that Gao Shan changed the construction drawings, the eighteen-story building became twenty-two floors, and the area of the high-rise has also changed, so I reminded him that it is very dangerous to change the construction design drawings indiscriminately, and if it is not good, there will be an accident, that is, this incident made Gao Shan wary of me, and then I made a report to Secretary Peng, and Secretary Peng said that I was idle and worried about eating radishes, and I would just do my own thing", Zhang Fugui tried his best to chew the words and said in Mandarin, but some words still sound a little incomprehensible," I told Mayor Qian again, and Mayor Qian praised me for being responsible and said that he would definitely ask, but soon Gao Shan knew what I was saying and got me here. ”

"And what are you going to do now?" Li Zheng interrupted Zhang Fugui's words and asked, "Haven't you thought about running away from here?" ”

"Runaway? Where am I going? Where can they go? Now the outside world knows that I ran away with money, and my fellow villagers and people in the company also think so, they are also looking for me, and they want their wages and hard-earned money back. Zhang Fugui said and his voice was raised, "There is no fair statement, if you run out, you will not be killed by Gao Shan, but also by the creditor, and Gao Shan is not afraid of me running, he even wants me to run, because everything between us can be put on the table, the agreement is signed by me, and the money is also transferred to my company's account through the bank, but only me and him know what is going on in the middle, and where the money goes into my company." ”

Qi Tianxiang thought for a while and said to Wang Jinlong: "After the recording and text materials are sorted out, give me a copy as soon as possible, be fast!" Saying that, facing Zhang Fugui, he said word by word: "I'll find you a place that can give you safety and solve your affairs, and you must be careful during this time." As he spoke, he said to Li Zheng: "I think we should go back too, I believe that what you asked me to see, I believe it will not be in vain." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and walked out of the shed, standing in the afternoon sun, panting heavily, but he couldn't calm the heaviness in his heart.

In the car when he went back, he didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little depressing, but Qi Tianxiang thought about his next move
