After the meeting, the entire township government was in rapid operation, preparing for Zhou Yungao's arrival.

Li Dongsheng inspected all the three places arranged by the township party committee for Zhou Yungao and their surroundings, and made sure that he knew it by heart. To do this, he spent the whole day. In fact, most of the time is spent on the road. His means of transport was a bicycle borrowed from the doorman.

A day's bike ride didn't take a lot of toll on him, and he didn't get tired from it, not even sweating. In fact, he hadn't sweated in a long time. Compared to the discomfort of not sucking blood, not sweating is nothing.

On this day, he had a new understanding of the strength of his body. It was strange to him that the feeling of hunger did not appear after such a great consumption. He couldn't help but compare the real physical work with the consumption of sexual work, and came to the conclusion that sexual work consumes energy, while physical work consumes pure physical strength.

He also understands that physical exertion is not unlimited, but the food he eats on weekdays can maintain normal consumption. The energy obtained from sucking blood is stored in the body. Although there is no definite evidence, he believes that the energy obtained from sucking blood is transforming his body. Because he clearly felt that his physical fitness was constantly getting stronger, although the change was not very obvious.

Returning to the township government, Li Dongsheng had a new feeling. Li Dongsheng is no stranger to this kind of surprise cleaning because the leader wants to inspect it. When I was in school, things like this happened all the time. As long as a leader wants to go to school, the school leader will let the whole school raid the whole school, whether it is elementary school or university.

Not long after Li Dongsheng returned to the office, it was time to get off work, he packed up, picked up the briefcase he had just configured and prepared to go home. But before he could reach the door, the phone rang.

When he saw the name displayed on the screen of his mobile phone, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face, the call was from Xie Wenting. It's been nearly two weeks since the last blind date, and he's even forgotten about it.

After sorting out his thoughts a little, he connected the phone: "Hey, is there something wrong?" ”

"Of course there is something, remember our agreement?"

"Of course."

Li Dongsheng hesitated slightly, and then said, "My mother asked how we got along?" And let you come to my house for dinner this week. ”

"What do you think?"

"Of course I don't want you to pass, but you can't always show up, can you?"

"I know about this, you give me a reminder on Friday, I'll see when I'm free."

Xie Wenting on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I don't think it's a matter for us to go on like this." ”

"What do you mean—"

"No, let's try to get along, anyway, I don't have a boyfriend, and you don't have a girlfriend."

Li Dongsheng immediately thought of Xu Zijing, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Let me think about it." ”

"Is it because of Xu Zijing?"

Faced with Xie Wenting's unthinking questioning, Li Dongsheng was silent.

Without waiting for Li Dongsheng's answer, Xie Wenting said lightly: "I know, let's come according to the previous agreement, I will find an opportunity to make it clear to my parents." You should also find an opportunity to explain it to your parents so that they do not deepen the misunderstanding. ”

"I will."

Hanging up the phone, Li Dongsheng walked out of the office, but saw Sun Youde closing the door casually, so he said hello, and then waited for Sun Youde to come over in the same place. Then the two of them walked towards the stairs together.

"Township Chief Li, how are the emergency preparations going?"

"I've already gone to those three places to see, and I've checked the surrounding situation, so I'm waiting for Secretary Zhou to come down and inspect."

"That's good."

"Township Chief, why did Secretary Zhou come to Erlang Township to inspect?" Li Dongsheng asked the question buried in his heart.

"Supposedly, it's just a casual look."

Regarding the reasons given by Sun Youde, Li Dongsheng did not believe it. Of course, he will not bring it up, but will ask Sun Youde for advice on the rules of doing things during the next trip. Although Sun Youde could not provide him with more help, he had experience. Moreover, in this regard, Sun Youde was not stingy.

The two did not go the same way, and they walked together for less than 200 meters before they separated.

When he arrived at the door, Li Dongsheng stretched out his head to look at his store as usual, and after seeing his mother, he immediately said, "Mom, I'm back, you go cook." ”

Seeing his son, Yang Liu immediately stood up and walked towards the back door, took two steps, suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Son, how are you getting along with Wen Ting?" ”

"It's okay, her parents asked me to take time to go to her house for dinner this weekend."

"You kid doesn't know anything at all, you should invite someone to eat at home first."

"As I said, she said that she was preparing for the teaching competition recently and didn't have time, and when this time passed, I asked her to come to the house for dinner." Li Dongsheng immediately flickered casually.

Yang Liu did not doubt that he had him, and said with a relieved face: "Wen Ting is a good girl, you have to hurry." ”

"Got it."

During the meal, Li Dongsheng found that his father had not returned, so he immediately asked.

"He called before you came back, saying that the machinery in the factory was broken and he had to work overtime."

"Do you want to deliver food?"

"Well, I've already packed it in a thermos bucket, you hurry up and finish eating and send it to him."

"What a broken factory, I never give food to work overtime." Li Dongsheng couldn't help complaining.

"It's not that you don't eat, it's that your dad has a bad stomach and can't eat instant noodles."

"Can't you let the restaurant deliver food? How much can it cost? ”

"It's not that you don't know the situation of that factory, it's good to be able to survive until now. That is, your father has a craft, and the machines in the factory are very old, so he doesn't dare to owe his wages, and those workers, which ones will not be pressed for several months. ”

Li Dongsheng stopped talking, but sped up his eating, finished pulling the rice in the bowl, put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, and went to the kitchen to get the thermos bucket.

"Why do you just eat a bowl of rice?"

"I'm full, I'm sitting there at work, I'm not out of strength, and I haven't digested the lunch yet." It's easy to have the opportunity to eat less, and of course he doesn't want to let it go.

My father's factory is called Dawei Toy Factory, and its products are mainly pirated mechanical toys, and the business is not sluggish, because the price is cheap and there are still sales. But because of this, there is not much profit. Moreover, there is no one who is not indebted to doing business in these years. It's normal to sell things and not get money. But the daily expenses in the factory still have to be paid, such as water and electricity bills, business administration fees, taxes, etc. There is no choice but to owe the wages of the workers. The wages of production workers can be owed, but the wages of technicians cannot be owed, otherwise people will simply quit working.

Zhou Dawei, the director of the factory, has maintained the factory until now by demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, but because of the problem of capital turnover, the old machinery and equipment have not been updated, and naturally they are often broken. Therefore, Li Bin is very busy most of the time at work.

When Li Dongsheng saw his father, he was taking two apprentices to install the dismantled parts of the machine. Zhou Dawei, the director of the factory, watched anxiously, and he was also wearing a pair of labor protection gloves on his hands, which were also stained with black oil.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

Li Dongsheng shouted from afar, attracting everyone's attention.

"Lao Li, let's continue after eating, it's all eaten."

Immediately, Zhou Dawei turned his head to greet Li Dongsheng: "Township Chief Li, I'll go to instant noodles and come back to talk to you." ”

"Leave me alone, it's important to eat."

When Li Bin came over after washing his hands, Zhou Dawei also came over with instant noodles, put the instant noodles on the table of the machine next to him, and casually pulled a stool and sat opposite Li Dongsheng.

Li Dongsheng knew that he had something to say to him, so he waited for him to speak.

"Township Chief Li, you also know my small factory, but all expenses in the township are charged according to the actual amount, and I can't last long if it goes on like this. Can you please mention it to the township and give me some fee reduction, after all, if I close the door, the township will have less income, right? ”

"I will tell the secretary and township chief about your situation at the right time, and you also know that I am only a deputy township head, and I have just been working for a long time, so I have no right to speak."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

"Director Zhou, I also heard my dad talk about your factory, even if the township has reduced some fees, it seems that these machines can't last long, right?"

"Who's to say it isn't?" Chow Dawei's mood was very low.

"If you have to get all the arrears outside the factory back, will your equipment be able to complete the replacement?"

Zhou Dawei thought for a while and said: "Even if it's not too bad, it should be able to be completed if you think of a way." ”

Immediately, he thought of something, and immediately asked, "Is there a way for Township Chief Li to get back that money?" If Township Chief Li can help me get the money back, I am willing to pay 10 percent, no, 30 percent as compensation. ”

At this time, Li Bin, who was eating, suddenly paused, and then resumed his original rhythm. Zhou Dawei, who paid attention to Li Dongsheng, naturally didn't notice it, but Li Dongsheng, who had extremely keen senses, found out. He didn't care, though. He knew that his father would not interfere with him, even if he did not agree.

"It's just an immature idea, I'll take the time to refine it, and if I think it's feasible, I'll get in touch with you."

"Great, if I can get the money back, if I can't replace all the machines, I can replace the main ones, and then I can develop new products on my own." Having done it for so many years, I know what the market needs. Zhou Dawei's eyes were full of longing.

"Director Zhou, your factory is still attached to the township government, right?"

"What does Township Chief Li mean—"

"If I can refine this idea, I'd suggest you fix the problem anyway. Your factory is half-dead, and no one in the township government has to do it, once it is booming, if this problem is not solved, it will be a big hidden danger. Li Dongsheng gave advice.

"I understand what you mean, the former Secretary Zhou is my cousin, and in the second year of his retirement, the preferential conditions set before the wine glass have been cancelled. By the time Hu Keming had already changed the third secretary, I had found every secretary and township head, but it was useless. I'm going to solve this problem in the next two days. As he spoke, his words changed sharply: "Township Chief Li, how sure are you that you can get the money back?" ”
