"Qiangzi, do you have anyone around you who can be relied on?" After the two chatted for a while, Li Rui asked coldly.

"Yes, Brother Rui, do you have anything to do." Fang Qiang immediately understood what Li Rui meant, and hurriedly said.

In fact, Fang Qiang didn't come back today, Li Rui also wanted to call him, he could only hand over that matter to Fang Qiang, and he really didn't worry about others.

"Be tight-tongued, have a flexible mind, and be able to do it well." Li Rui emphasized several more requirements.

Fang Qiang looked at what Li Rui said cautiously, thought about it and nodded heavily: "Yes!" I have a comrade-in-arms who usually doesn't talk much, is smart and has good skills. Brother Rui, if you have anything important, leave it to him and I'll take care of it! ”

"Your comrade-in-arms, also an engineer?" Li Rui was a little skeptical.

"It's true that the engineer is a soldier, but he used to be a special soldier, and he had good skills, and when he was in the army, four or five of us couldn't defeat him." Fang Qiang said urgently.

"How can special forces come to do engineering soldiers like you?" Li Rui felt quite strange, he had seen the Lu Te of the Twelfth Army, and he felt very majestic.

"Alas! He was also unlucky. Fang Qiang sighed and said, "In the past, he was a soldier in the provincial capital, and he was a special force directly under the war zone, once he happened to see a hooligan molesting a woman on the street, so he went up to stop it, and he fought back and forth, where was his opponent in a few hooligans, and he was all knocked down in a few strokes, and the one who led the way was said to be the son of a provincial official, and he was also discounted." The people didn't give up, and they even found the head of the unit, and they had no choice but to transfer to us as an engineer. This is still the result of their battalion commander's arguments, otherwise they will be expelled from the army. In fact, if he hadn't taken care of this matter, he would have turned into a volunteer soldier by now. I was with us for more than a year, and then I was discharged from the army. ”

"Is he from Pengcheng? Why have I never heard of you? Li Rui asked.

"It's not." Fang Qiang shook his head, "He's from Luxi Province, and he only came here last week." Saying that, Fang Qiang sighed again and said: "I also heard from another comrade-in-arms of ours, my hometown is not going to live, and his mother's health is not good." His father died when he was a child, like me, his mother pulled him up, their hometown is a mountainous area, last year his mother went up the mountain to pick herbs and accidentally fell down from the mountain, and he was not treated well, and he has been paralyzed in bed. He is an only son, and his wife can only take care of him at home when she is sick, and he has no serious business. After I heard about it, I wrote to him to take his mother to Pengcheng to see a doctor, and now his mother lives in the Municipal People's Hospital, and I pay for the medical expenses. After he came, he saw that there were nurses in the hospital to take care of him, so he insisted on going to the construction site to work, but he couldn't persuade him, but fortunately, he had also been an engineer for more than a year, so he was arranged to be a construction worker, and he couldn't let him do a small job. ”

"What's his name?"

"Ding Junfeng."

"In this way, don't you arrange to have dinner with Xue Feng on the weekend! When you're done eating, you can make an appointment with him, and I'll see you. Li Rui groaned. From Fang Qiang's introduction just now, it sounds like this Ding Junfeng is a filial son first, and he is grateful for his kindness secondly, which shows that this person's character is quite good. In addition, he has been a special soldier, and there is no problem with the mind and skills of this kind of person to do the little things he wants. So Li Rui changed the idea he wanted Fang Qiang to convey at the beginning, and wanted to meet him in person, if it was appropriate, it would be easy for this kind of person to stay by his side.

Xue Feng and a few friends finished eating in Wangjiang Tower, and originally wanted to go to Hi Pi Hi Pi together, but they were called home by Xue Mingtang.

Xue Mingtang sat alone in the living room watching the news, Xue Feng called Dad, then sat down on the sofa next to him, took out a pack of soft China from his bag and handed it to Xue Mingtang, then lit him with a lighter, and then smoked one himself. Xue Feng knew Xue Mingtang's habits, he didn't like to be disturbed when he watched the news, and he didn't speak, and the father and son were smoking cigarettes while watching the news. When the news ended, the cigarette burned to the buttocks, Xue Mingtang picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, "The construction contract for the Tengfei Center has been signed?" ”

Xue Feng hurriedly said: "Signed, thanks to Uncle Sun's help this time, Zhao Wenlong and the Hong Kong woman from Tengfei Group are also refreshing, and they didn't care much about the price, it was very smooth." ”

Xue Mingtang nodded, leaned back on the cushion and said, "You didn't choose to enter politics after graduating from college, but chose to engage in business, and I support your choice in this regard." I don't really want to get involved in your business in the past two years, but I also see that you are full of enthusiasm and expectations for your business. Since you have won the construction contract of Tengfei Group this time, I hope you will cherish this opportunity, don't only focus on money, let alone make any mistakes, and learn to make more friends, so that your career can go far. ”

"Dad, I understand what you mean. The boss of Tengfei Group is the Zhang family, although he rarely shows up, but I must find a way to get in touch with him and strive to become friends. ”

Xue Feng smiled and lit another cigarette for Xue Mingtang, Xue Mingtang took a puff, spit out a cloud of smoke and said: "Xiaofeng, no matter what we do in our country, we need a relationship, and we must know how to take advantage of the situation." As long as you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhang and become friends, even if I am not in this position, others will also look up to you, and your career can develop well. Of course, we must also grasp the scale of taking advantage of the situation, we must not do illegal things, we must follow the rules of the game, and make good use of the rules in order to be invincible. This cooperation with Ascendas Group is also an opportunity for you, so you should make good use of this opportunity. ”

Xue Feng nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity! This time, Zhao Wenlong took the lead. By the way, Dad, there is another news, when I was negotiating with them to sign a contract a few days ago, I overheard the Hong Kong woman mention that Li Rui turned out to be Zhang Zhuoyang's cousin, so he is also a member of the Zhang family. ”

This news shocked Xue Mingtang, but years of qi cultivation kung fu did not allow him to show it in front of his son, and at the same time, it also made him figure out why he lost to Guo Wending when he was competing for the head of the organization. It turns out that people are still shouldering the heavy responsibility of supporting orphans, no wonder Guo Wending would come out to speak when his son and Li Rui clashed, and it is no wonder that Tian Qiming, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, would support Guo Wending.

Xue Mingtang is in officialdom, so he is naturally very concerned about the situation of the Zhang family, one of the top political families in China, otherwise he would not have learned for the first time that Zhang Zhuoyang, the boss of Tengfei Group, is the third generation of the Zhang family.

Li Rui is Zhang Zhuoyang's cousin, but he is not surnamed Zhang, compared with the three members of the second generation of the Zhang family, it is easy to judge that Li Rui can only be the son of Zhang Jianguo, the third elder of the Zhang family, because only he was divorced in his early years, and Li Rui is the son of him and his ex-wife. But why put him in Pengcheng? Is it a workout? Obviously, it doesn't make sense, if it comes out of a family like this, if it is the key training object of the family, it is generally appointed by the ministry first, and at a certain level, at least above the deputy department, and then sent to the local government or even the party committee to serve as the top leader. is like Zhang Jianguo, who first worked in the Central Office, and became the county magistrate in a county under Mingyang City, Jiangdong Province, then the secretary of the county party committee, deputy mayor, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, mayor, and now a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Mingyang Municipal Party Committee. And Li Rui is just a cadre at the department level, first as a small deputy director of the Industrial Department of the Municipal Planning Commission, obviously not a training, then the only explanation is distribution.

However, even if it is distributed, after all, he is Zhang Jianguo's son, otherwise Guo Wending would not have been able to get the support of Tian Qiming, a member of the Zhang family. Zhang Jianguo's ability to entrust his son to Guo Wending shows that their relationship is obviously extraordinary.

Xue Mingtang came to a wrong judgment in an instant, and it is no wonder who would have thought that the father-son relationship between Zhang Jianguo and Li Rui had long been on the same footing.

Xue Feng glanced at Xue Mingtang and continued: "This time, Zhao Wenlong can cooperate with Tengfei Group to develop, and it is Li Rui's thread. Li Rui and I don't know each other, and I gave him enough face twice later. Yesterday, the Hong Kong woman introduced Nanqiao No. 2 Construction Division to subcontract part of the project from us, and at a glance, she knew that it was Li Rui's relationship, and I gave them 20 million without saying a word. I also asked Li Rui out to get together through the two bosses of the Second Construction Division. ”

Hearing his son say this, Xue Mingtang's face finally showed a smile of relief, and he nodded: "It's good that you can do this!" Explain that you also know what I just told you. As he spoke, he didn't forget to mention his son: "However, although you and Li Rui don't know each other, don't let this kind of thing happen in the future, don't fool around with those fox friends and dog friends outside you, not only will it not do you any good, but in addition to being looked down upon, if someone grabs your handle, remember that even a small pushpin can also pierce the soles of your feet." ”

When he was about to get off work on Saturday, Li Rui called Gao Jie: "Are you free at night?" Let's have dinner together. ”

"It's with Mr. Zhao and Manager Yu again, okay!" Li Rui usually takes Gao Jie to eat, usually with Zhao Wenlong and Yu Meixia.

"Although the dinner is in Flower City, there is another person to treat, and you know this person." Li Rui said with a smile.

"Who?"

"Xue Feng!"

"It's this little rascal! Hey, how could he have remembered to invite you to dinner? Gao Jie said strangely.

"How do I know, but now that people are bigger, the chairman of Yunfeng Group has just undertaken the construction project of Tengfei Center."

"It's collusion between officials and businessmen again, right? I'm going, just in time to go over and shake him, and I haven't settled accounts with him about the last time. ”
