The arm-wide bed rested in the van compartment, the rear seats were folded up, and Chen Qi squeezed into one seat from the co-pilot's seat, Xu Si and Chen Feirong. Chen Qi wrapped one arm around the backrest, turned his head and asked Xu Si: "What does Zhang Ke's family do, how can District Mayor Song listen to him?" ”

The van driver is an employee of Xinguang Paper Mill, who is very familiar with Liu Fen and Chen Qi, and said while driving: "Sister Fen, that young man, he looks very handsome, Brother Chen inquired about people's family backgrounds, and planned to find a mother-in-law for Concubine Rong?" ”

"Nonsense, when I can stand up and tear your mouth apart, that kid is Concubine Rong's classmate......" Liu Fen was lying on the bed, with a futon on her back, beaming, but she didn't look angry, "Xiao Zhou, I'll help you Brother Chen take a hand, and say a few more good words on the side, maybe District Mayor Song will recruit you into the district and drive him to ......"

"Borrow your auspicious words and drive for Zhou Fu, not to mention that you can't get your salary, you have to put oil money in it," Zhou Wenbin said with a smile, "Concubine Rong's classmate is good, the pair of leather shoes under her feet can cover our salary for several months, at such an age, you can talk to Song Peiming, what does Rongrong your classmate do, see that he likes you a lot, you have to seize the opportunity?" ”

Chen Feirong glanced at Xu Si and promised her not to tell Zhang Ke's family background, and when she heard Zhou Wenbin say this, she was a little unhappy: "He can wear such good shoes, it's not that his father was corrupt and bribed, what's so rare?" ”

"What nonsense?" Chen Qi glared back, "People help the family so much, you talk like this?" ”

Chen Feirong turned her head and sat in her position without saying a word.

Zhou Wenbin smiled, drove attentively, and stopped making a sound.

Liu Fen sighed faintly and said, "If you can be corrupt and take bribes, then it will be fine......" There was very envy in his tone.

When Xu Si heard this, his heart was sour, he didn't think that Liu Fen was sophisticated, who would lie half-dead like her for more than half a year, thinking every day that he might never be able to stand up, and it was normal to have such thoughts.

Chen Feirong's young and simple girl's heart, when she heard such words, she felt humiliated, buried her head, and was silent.

Sha Tin is next to the front door, although the road is a little blocked, ten minutes to the Qingshi Street where Chen Feirong's house is located.

Liu Fen and the workers of the paper mill went to block the road to visit, and the neighbors all knew that they saw two cars turning in front and back at this time, and one car was a government official car, thinking that Liu Fen was going to be arrested as a troublemaker, and they all gathered around to see what was going on, Xu Si's father, Xu Haishan, and Xu Hongbo were all in the crowd.

Xu Si came down first, beckoned his father, and they carried Liu Fen to the back room first, Zhou Fu jumped down from the official car behind, bowed his hand to the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly: "District Mayor Song knows that our Xinguang Paper Mill workers are living in difficulty, and specially went into the families of workers in difficulty to visit the people, and promised that the district government will come forward to arrange for Comrade Liu Fen to be hospitalized. ”

Zhang Ke felt that Zhou Fu was a wonderful person, and he dared to embarrass Song Peiming in public, and he didn't see Song Peiming angry, presumably the two had a good personal relationship. Seeing Xu Hongbo standing in the crowd through the car window, he opened the car door and jumped down, beckoning to him: "Teacher Xu, are you here too?" ”

"I have three meals a day, Chen Qi owes me two meals today, of course I have to wait for him here." Xu Hongbo said with a smile that Zhang Ke left a deep impression on him a few days ago.

"District Mayor Song promised to invite you to drink, and Teacher Xu will also come over to join in the fun." Zhang Ke said.

"Heh......" Xu Hongbo stood in the crowd, unmoved.

Zhang Ke looked back at Song Peiming, who had just pushed the car door, and it could be seen from Song Peiming's resume that he had worked with Xu Hongbo for two years, but he didn't know if there was a contradiction hidden in the bones between the two.

"Is Secretary-General Xu concerned about the past? There is even wine that does not drink! Song Peiming directly called Xu Hongbo's previous position, he once served as a secretary to Wan Yong, the father of Wan Yong, director of the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, and Wan Qianqian, former secretary of the municipal party committee and current director of the National People's Congress, and served as deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee.

"Where is the past!" Xu Hongbo chuckled and walked out of the crowd, "I'm waiting to listen to District Chief Song's lecture." ”

Song Pei arched his hand to the crowd of onlookers and said: "The problem of Xinguang Paper Mill, the district is stepping up the study of countermeasures, Comrade Liu Fen's problem, the district will not ignore it, today I mainly catch old friends drinking, there is nothing to say...... "I entered the house, it was really simple enough."

Zhang Ke, Jiang Wei, Zhou Fu, and Xu Hongbo also entered the house later, Xu Haishan and several neighbors carried Liu Fen to the back room, and at this time they were lowering their heads to go out, Xu Si did not follow out, and it is estimated that they stayed in the back room to help take care of Liu Fen. Zhang Ke knew that it was inconvenient for Xu Si to take it upon himself to leave his father to eat together, so he raised his head and called Xu Haishan and said, "Uncle Xu, stay and drink together, the opportunity for District Mayor Song to invite you to drink is rare." ”

Xu Haishan only joked with Zhang Ke, and said with a smile: "The family has cooked a good meal, you accompany District Chief Song to eat well." ”

Xu Hongbo heard the taste at this time, Zhang Ke took a big package from getting out of the car, and it was Song Peiming who invited him to dinner, it was really a good show, he looked up and said to Xu Haishan: "Zhang Ke invites you, you will take a shelf, sit down, sit down, do you have to keep you in person?" ”

Zhou Fu took out a cigarette and scattered, except for Song Peiming and Jiang Wei, he didn't know anyone, this young man's shelf was really big, although Chen Qi's craftsmanship was good, but the place was too simple, and Song Peiming didn't dislike it.

Song Peiming saw Xu Haishan's ordinary work clothes, and he didn't know what his identity was, so he took two cigarettes from Zhou Fu's hand and gave one to Xu Haishan: "Stay and drink together, it's lively......

Xu Haishan had a humble smile on his face and said, "Then I'll go in and see if I can help?" He took the cigarette in a panic and went out into the courtyard.

Zhang Ke said: "Paper mills don't pay wages for several months, and Uncle Chen may not have the money to buy vegetables and wine......" Saying this, his eyes looked at Zhou Fu, some words can't be left for Zhou Fu to listen to here, at least Song Pei won't tell him afterwards, those are two different things.

Zhou Fu glanced at Song Peiming pitifully, but didn't see Song Peiming respond to him, so he had to stand up and say, "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Seeing that the irrelevant people walked away, Zhang Kecai said to Xu Hongbo with a smile: "Teacher Xu, I just mentioned you to my father yesterday, and I invite you to play chess at home another day......

"Who is your dad?"

"You don't know that he is Zhang Zhixing's son?" Song Peiming glanced at Xu Hongbo, and from Zhang Ke's familiar tone, he thought that they had known each other for a long time.

"I said that I felt familiar, but I just couldn't remember, Zhang Zhixing, I haven't dealt with much?" Xu Hongbo smiled.

Zhang Ke said: "Uncle Tang also likes to play chess, his chess is worse than my father's, but I heard that he won against Teacher Xu? ”

"Tang Xueqian? He is now the mayor, and if he wants to play chess with me, I have to let him win......" Xu Hongbo is free and easy, and he doesn't think that Zhang Ke's words will embarrass him.

Tang Xueqian and Zhang Zhixing have a close relationship, and Haizhou city officials know a lot, especially the various changes that occurred this summer, and the relationship between the two has become even stronger. Of course, Xu Hongbo also realized that Zhang Zhixing's promotion was not entirely due to Tang Xueqian's rise in water, but because of the rumors about the relationship with Xu Xueping, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Zhang Zhixing also became important in Haizhou officialdom, at least much more popular than Song Peiming in front of him.

Xu Hongbo didn't expect Zhang Ke to be Zhang Zhixing's son, and he couldn't figure out why Zhang Ke was with Song Peiming. Although it is said that Zhang Zhixing has a trend of prosperity in Haizhou, there is no need to contact Zhang Zhixing's son Zhang Ke, I don't understand.

Zhang Ke was more silent after seeing Song Peiming and Xu Hongbo sit down, thinking: Song Peiming is self-asserting identity, Xu Hongbo is not clear about the situation, and said with a smile: "I begged Uncle Song to help solve the problem of Concubine Rong's mother, and promised to return him a favor," glanced at Song Peiming, and let the sixteen-year-old boy say this, his face was somewhat embarrassed, but Xu Hongbo became more and more confused, and said, "Teacher Xu, what do you say Uncle Song has at the moment?" ”

In the blink of an eye, Xu Hongbo remembered all the rumors that had been circulating in the officialdom of Haizhou City since this summer, and the young man in front of him was also an important role, judging from his behavior and conversation, he was not like an ordinary teenager.

It is quite complicated to equate the usual impression of Zhang Ke with the son of Zhang Zhixing, the secretary general of the municipal government, who has just entered high school, Jiang Wei has not taken the initiative to say a word since he got in the car, from the previous conversation with Zhang Ke, he is in trouble with Song Peiming at this time, but it is completely clear that Jiang Wei doesn't know why Zhang Ke asked Xu Hongbo this question again, and he must not have deliberately embarrassed Song Peiming.

Jiang Wei didn't know Xu Hongbo, but she knew this person.

Xu Hongbo looked at Song Peiming, still a little puzzled, after all, no matter how much he valued Zhang Ke, a young man, he would not think that he could be at the same level as Song Peiming.

Song Peiming smiled awkwardly and said: "Jumping out of the dust, I know that in the samadhi, I can ask the secretary general Xu to take the pulse, maybe the winding path leads to the secluded place, and there is no cave." ”

Zhang Ke saw that Song Peiming didn't mind Jiang Wei's presence, so he knew who was with whom the rumors that forced Jiang Wei to leave the administrative organ, pursed his lips with a smile, and didn't say anything.

Xu Hongbo said: "Haizhou officialdom is complicated, and District Chief Song's troubles are just trivialities, I say so, doesn't District Chief Song blame me for underestimating you?" ”

Song Peiming smiled bitterly: "If you let you speak, you didn't plan to listen to any festive words, your mouth is poisonous, and you didn't just understand it today." ”

Xu Hongbo smiled and said: "As soon as Ding Xiangshan went, Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian took advantage of the situation, saying that it is not an exaggeration to say that they have picked up a big bargain, but there is another person who thinks he has also picked up a big bargain and is laughing loudly......"

Zhang Ke knew that Xu Hongbo was talking about Wan Xiangqian, the former secretary of the municipal party committee who forced Ding Xiangshan to retreat to the National People's Congress four years ago.

"If Ding Xiangshan doesn't have an accident, he will be able to concurrently serve as the director of the National People's Congress next year, and he will completely drive Wan Xiangqian to the second line. There was such a big incident this summer, Zhou Fuming had to sit in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee cheaply, and he could keep it next year, which is already good, where can he have the ability to snatch back the title of director of the National People's Congress? In other cities, the director of the Municipal People's Congress is either concurrently served by the secretary or the deputy secretary, Haizhou is good, so that the former secretary of the municipal party committee has been occupying the seat of the director of the Municipal People's Congress, isn't it a bit too emperorly? What's more, Wan Xiangqian is a person, I have been with him for six years, and I know very well that he himself has the consciousness of being too emperor. A few days ago, I heard that there was a big joke in the city, Tang Xueqian dragged the head of the city traffic management department to secretly visit the city's public transport situation, even involving the three heads of the municipal administration bureau and the construction committee, the pockets were cut by the thief, and a deputy director of the construction committee also showed his ass for most of the day, for which Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian were furious, and wanted to replace the heads and brains of the municipal traffic management department, the public security department, the municipal construction, and the municipal management department. Listening to the grapevine, Wan Xiangqian almost pointed at Tang Xueqian's nose: You were the deputy mayor in charge of transportation two months ago, and you must be held accountable, and you must first liquidate your ......."

Dad didn't mention these things at home, and Zhang Ke heard it from Xu Hongbo's mouth for the first time, so it can be seen that the previous intuition was correct, and the situation in Haizhou City did not become orderly because Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian were the first and second in command. In the life experienced, Ding Xiangshan's problem was not discovered until five years later, when Wan Xiangqian had already become a historical relic, but he didn't expect that this time would be the biggest obstacle.

"Speaking of District Chief Song's troubles, it's nothing more than this ......" Xu Hongbo glanced at Song Peiming, "In the officialdom, no one can be a lonely hero, and the same is true for Haizhou City, you District Mayor Song can't do it, and Tang Xueqian can't do it, but Tang Xueqian is better than you......" Tang Xueqian has Zhang Zhixing to ease the relationship with Xu Xueping, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but Song Peiming is isolated, and because of isolation, the problem of Xinguang Paper Mill has become a tool for colleagues, and it is impossible to effectively solve it in Song Peiming's hands.

Song Peiming smiled bitterly, no matter what the problem, someone will help you see it clearly.

Zhang Ke smiled and said to Xu Hongbo: "I told Uncle Song that I can repay him this favor......

Xu Hongbo let his words arouse interest, this invisible knot made many people in Haizhou officialdom entangled in it and couldn't get out, but they didn't know how he could solve it as a young man.

Zhang Ke said again: "Uncle Song, he doesn't believe me, I pulled him over to invite everyone to drink, and he looked reluctant......"

Xu Hongbo smiled, Zhang Ke's words are not something that ordinary children can say, a sentence put Song Pei in the air, so that he can't go up or down, glanced at Song Peiming, the expression on his face is so rich, it is really difficult to bow his head to a teenager.

Zhang Ke is not trying to embarrass Song Peiming, in terms of level, Song Peiming is the same as his father, and his qualifications are deeper, but the initiative must be grasped in his own hands, and said: "Although the car accident is sad, it is not an excuse to blame others without limits, this summer, I almost live in the provincial capital, Uncle Xu's heartache of losing a child in his later years can also be experienced, but the car accident has become a tool for each other below, it must be a ...... that Uncle Xu does not want to see."

Song Peiming smiled bitterly: "That is Secretary Xu's mind, but Secretary Xu may not know the following situation, can this kind of unfounded thing be brought to Secretary Xu to say?" ”

"Of course you can't say it," Zhang Ke looked at Song Peiming with burning eyes, and said, "But you can do something to warn those who have ulterior motives, don't talk about car accidents anymore......"

"What can we do?" Zhang Ke pinched his mind every sentence, and Song Peiming's body couldn't help but turn sideways.

"Let a company with the same background as Haitai contract to operate Xinguang Paper Mill, can you share some troubles for Uncle Song?" Zhang Ke looked at Song Peiming unhurriedly.

"Ahh Song Peiming was stunned, his first thought was, how can he do it? Then I thought of what Jiang Wei told him, although Zhang Ke was still a teenager who had just entered high school, he seemed to have a great influence on the operation of Haitai Company, and it was not nonsense.

Xu Hongbo didn't know what the background of Haitai Company Zhang Ke was talking about, but when he saw Song Peiming's rather excited expression, he guessed that Haitai Company had some relationship with Xu Xueping, and it was self-evident that a company with such a background would contract and operate Xinguang Paper Mill.

Song Peiming asked again: "What kind of company is it?" ”

"The company's information is still with Assistant Xu, and the registration procedures have not yet been completed......

"This is not in a hurry, many things can be discussed first......" Song Peiming was a little urgent, he put away his contempt for Zhang Ke at this time, and asked, "Will Ms. Xie come forward?" ”

"In this way, I just put forward the possibility, which step can be talked about, or something that is completely unexpected, Uncle Song is a little in a hurry." Zhang Ke smiled, glanced sideways at Jiang Wei, and at this point, she hadn't said a word, and asked her: "Sister Jiang, Haitai, are you reluctant to leave it?" ”

Jiang Wei glanced at Song Peiming, knowing that his weakness was held by Zhang Ke, with her palms against her forehead, and a pair of bright and beautiful eyes staring at Zhang Ke: "The amazing fact that you just entered high school, I haven't digested it yet, how can I answer you if you ask this?" ”

"Hehe," Zhang Ke said to Xu Hongbo, "Teacher Xu, it will take a while for the wine and food to be prepared, let's play a game of fast chess, only Go does not count age." Regardless of Song Peiming's embarrassment, he stacked him there, stood up and went inside to play chess.

Watching Zhang Ke push the door into the courtyard, Song Peiming suddenly felt that he was completely in a passive state in the conversation with Zhang Ke, and Zhang Ke's last sentence could clearly put forward harsh conditions to the district government on the contracted operation.

"Secretary-General Xu, how did you meet Zhang Ke?" Song Peiming asked Xu Hongbo.

"I'm not messing around in the government for a long time, you call me that, but you're slapping me in the face," Xu Hongbo glanced back at the hidden corner door, and said with a smile, "I lost to this kid in chess here a few days ago, he is a classmate with the daughter of this shopkeeper, Xu Haishan's daughter Xu Si, I think you also know, I heard that the girl was helping him with his homework, but today I only learned his family history from your mouth, and the rumors are half-true, the news three months ago, I happened to read it, didn't it mention the boy who saved people?" Look at it, Zhang Zhixing's son is really not simple! ”

Song Peiming's eyes widened, and Xu Hongbo opened the closed door of his head with a word, and said, "That young man will be Zhang Zhixing's son?" ”

"This Miss Jiang seems to be very familiar with Zhang Ke?" Xu Hongbo asked.

Song Peiming said: "Jiang Wei used to work in the district government, and now she and Xu Si are colleagues. ”

"Oh," Xu Hongbo smiled and explained the trick to Song Peiming, "How could Zhang Zhixing suddenly get involved with Xu Xueping, but when I watched the news, it was really not easy to save people's children, didn't I never find it later?" I didn't expect to be surprised. Think about it again, why did Tang Xueqian toast a big child in public regardless of his identity? I listened to his words today that District Chief Song had to retreat, such a young man is really rare, and I was thinking, will Zhang Zhixing be a father and a son? Xu Hongbo said again, "This is just talking here, guessing wildly, and it is not accurate." ”

Song Peiming said this, and the vague place in his heart suddenly brightened, and he thought: The opportunity to get himself out of trouble may really be in this young man.
