On September 19th, Zhu Guoying returned to Pengcheng from the capital, Lu Li and Li Zhengrong personally drove the Chevrolet to Baiyunshan Airport, first returned to Huanghua's home at home, met with Xu Yunjian and Zhang Qing, and rested first, "Brother Ying, how about it, this meal is not light, right?" ”

Zhu Guoying smiled bitterly, picked up the Chinese cigarette and lit it, "Hey, I've never seen my third master have such a big temper, good guy, the old man is almost eating people!" I can't even persuade my eldest brother." He sighed and said, "Don't ask for details,......

"I'm sorry, Brother Ying," Lu Li sighed gloomily, "it's all for me!" ”

"Forget it, don't even mention it. By the way, have you seen Secretary Li? ”

"See. I asked Brother Rong to say a few words for me in advance, but the old man ignored me at all, obviously ...... No, it doesn't. ”

Zhu Guoying nodded, "Then, what are you going to do next?" By the way, Xiaoxiao, you won't still have the same calculation as you did at the beginning, right? ”

"No, no. I won't tell you, this is what Xu Yunjian told me! "I calmed down and thought about it, I was too radical. It's a good thing you didn't agree, otherwise we'd have made a big mistake! Even if it does succeed this time, what will happen in the future? If you encounter such a problem again, do you have to solve it with a killer? If that's the case, what are our buddies? This thing is absolutely not going to work! My position has completely changed, for me, even if the business in Hong Kong is completely ruined, I can't drag my friends into the water. ”

Zhu Guoying was slightly moved in his heart, and asked, "Then, how are you going to solve it?" If you can't, just bow your head, right? The big husband can bend and stretch, let's ......"

"I've thought about it, I've made a lot of money, and I promised my aunt that I would go back to Tianjin in three years at most—and now it seems that I can only advance this matter."

"You mean, no longer doing business in Hong Kong?"

"Don't do it!" Lu Li suddenly raised his voice, which frightened Zhu Guoying and Li Zhengrong for a moment, "I'd rather not do business than let that old bastard succeed!" You want to make money from me, in the next life! ”

Li Zhengrong and Zhu Guoying looked at each other, and they both felt that his temper was too strong, "Xiaoxiao, is this overkill?" You're making money there, and who are you doing business with isn't it, and money isn't stinky anyway? ”

Lu Li bared his teeth and picked out this topic with his two companions, he untied the knot in his heart for many days, and the person also relaxed, and regained his previous sharp thinking, "You still don't understand, this time the matter is not as simple as fighting for a breath, if I give in, it will leave an impression: have you seen it?" This kid from the mainland still can't fight us Hong Kong people! In the future, when I encounter this kind of disagreement between the two sides on one matter, many other people will oppress me in this way. Instead of just pulling out like this, wouldn't it be over if I didn't make money in Hong Kong? ””

Xu Yunjian timidly bumped into him, "Xiaoxiao, do we really want to go back to Tian (Tianjin)?" So, what about these two transactions in Hong Kong? ”

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. When I return to Pengcheng for the vegetable business, I will explain it to Liu Ju; As for the hot pot restaurant, it was returned to Gu Zhong. If he is willing to continue to do it, let him take it on his own, otherwise, he will change back to the Sparrow Pavilion, at least, he can still maintain the livelihood of several of them. ”

Xu Yunjian and Zhang Qingzheng were about to express their opinions, when the phone in the room rang, Li Zhengrong temporarily interrupted the conversation, got up and walked over. "That'...... You're too bad a thing?! ”

Lu Li chuckled, "What's the matter, you're making money now?" Can't afford the business over there? ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense, Hong Kong has an income of millions a month, just for one Fang Ba, you don't want it?" Xu Yunjian said: "Xiaoxiao, I know that your temper is like the stone of the thatched house, smelly and hard, but you have to think about it for us, right?" Didn't you say it at the beginning, let's gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong, ensure that our families have a comfortable life, and then go back to China, our buddies will get fat and work hard to serve the country? You say throw it away now, and what you said at the beginning, isn't it all fart? ”

Lu Li was really speechless, and after a long silence, he suddenly saw Li Zhengrong standing in front of him, but he didn't speak, "Brother Rong, what's wrong?" ”

"My dad ......, let you answer the phone."

"Let me ...... Answering the phone? This was something Luli didn't expect, and he followed him in a daze, walked to the house, and picked up the earpiece, "Hey? ”

"It's Xiao Lu, right?" Li Ting's voice came clearly from the phone, "Is Zhengrong next to you?" If he's there, you ask him to answer the phone. ”

Lu Li didn't know what kind of tone this was, and handed the phone to Li Zhengrong, who only listened to one sentence, then put down the phone, went out alone, and closed the door with his hand. "Uncle, you ......"

"Xiao Lu, I know about you, you can ...... as soon as possible Hmm, can you come to Pengcheng as soon as possible? ”

Lu Liming knew that the other party couldn't see him, so he still scratched his head suspiciously, "Uncle, is there something wrong?" ”

"Something. Well, you can do this, at three o'clock this afternoon, there is a train from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, you come alone, Xiaorong and they can come with you, but I won't meet them. When the time comes, I'll send a car to pick you up, can you? ”

Lu Li really couldn't understand what was going on, and he wanted to ask again, but the other party hung up the phone first. He walked back to the living room in a daze, with a look on his face that made everyone suspicious, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm ......, well, Brother Rong, Uncle said, let me go to Pengcheng. Maybe you have something to tell me. ”

"Okay, let's go tomorrow."

"No, my uncle said, let me take the afternoon train, and he will send someone to pick me up at the station. My uncle said to me, "If you want to go, you can go together, but ...... My uncle seems to have seen me. ”

Li Zhengrong was equally dumbfounded, "That...... So, don't wait, let's go, shall we? Xu Yunjian was the first to react, "No matter what it is, it's clear anyway!" ”

As soon as he advocated the promise, several people packed up their things and rushed to Yangcheng Railway Station, Zhu Guoying naturally did not have to go along, and several people broke up at the station and boarded the southbound train. There was no word on the road, and in the dark, the train stopped at Pengcheng Railway Station. Lu Li carried his luggage, walked out of the square in front of the station with Xu Yunjian, Li Zhengrong, and Zhang Qing, and looked for it temporarily, but there was no person sent by Li Ting to pick up the station, "What did my father tell you?" ”

"Didn't I tell you everything in the car?"

"There's no one here, huh? Let's hurry up and take the bus, and the bus will be off work in a while. Li Zhengrong muttered and complained, "If I knew this, wouldn't it be over if I just drove over tomorrow morning?" It has to be at night, the black light is blind, how inconvenient. ”

Lu Li didn't know what was going on, picked up his luggage, followed him and walked forward, not a few steps, the car lights flashed at the end of the square, and a Shanghai (sea) sedan car approached quickly, "I'm sorry, is it Comrade Lu Li?" ”

"Yes, I am."

"Secretary Li asked us to come over. Come on, please get in the car. ”

Lu Li and Li Zhengrong looked at each other, "Let's go......" Xu Yunjian pushed him, "There must be something big!" You don't care about us, we will find a guest house by ourselves, led by Brother Rong, it's okay. ”

Lu Li was still hesitating, and the man who got out of the car urged: "Comrade Lu Li, Secretary Li is still waiting for you." ”

"Okay then." Lu Li had no choice but to nod and get into the sedan chair in Shanghai (Hai), "Xu Yunjian, ...... tomorrow Forget it, it's all in the city anyway, and you know where to look for me. ”

"Alright, don't worry." They only said these few words, and the sedan chair started up, and disappeared into the night as soon as they slipped away.

Li Zhengrong and the three of them didn't mention it, Lu Li sat in a sedan chair on the sea, drove straight into the city government compound, stopped in front of the No. 1 building, he pushed the door and got out of the car, and in the light and shadow, there were several people sitting in the living room, "Comrade Lu Li, go this way." The man in the co-pilot seat walked up the steps, led him into the room, and walked around into the living room, where Li Ting was smoking, "Uncle? ”

"Ah, Xiao Lu is here?" Li Ting immediately got up to greet him and shook his hand, "Come, I'll introduce you to someone." This is Comrade Xu Chaodong of the Central Committee's Office. This time it is specifically for your business, and I was appointed by Comrade Yaobang to come to Pengcheng. ”

This man's name didn't mean anything to Luley, but the name he had been assigned to was known to everyone! Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became at a loss, "This ...... This ......"

"It's Comrade Luli, right?" Xu Chaodong smiled and stretched out his hand to him, "Don't be nervous, you are also a comrade in the party, I'll call you Xiao Lu, is it okay?" ”

"Yes...... Can...... In order to. "Luli was excited, and he was sick again, and he tried hard to correct his stammer, but it didn't work at all!" Right...... No, no, no, no, I ......."

"I know, I know." Xu Chaodong smiled kindly and said to Li Ting: "Comrade Xiao Lu is still too nervous. Come on, let's sit down and talk, shall we? ”

Luli walked on a crutch! He never imagined that the person who had just assumed the chairmanship of the Party Central Committee at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee held in June 1981 would actually send someone to talk to him. This...... I don't know if it's an honor or a scary! "Comrade Luli, I hope you don't get nervous and smoke?"

"No, no, no, no, I don't...... Yes. ”

"Oh." Xu Chaodong nodded, Guan Zi and Li Ting each lit a cigarette, and at the same time nodded to an entourage beside him, who immediately opened the notebook, took out a pen, and held it in his hand, "Comrade Lu Li, Comrade Chaodong came to Pengcheng from the chairman's commission this time, in addition to wanting to hear the report on the economic work in the province, I just want to ask you,...... Well, about your situation. ”

"Yes."

Xu Chaodong and Li Ting looked at each other and smiled, "Comrade Xiao Lu, you don't have to be nervous, what about your affairs, I have already made some introductions to Comrade Chaodong, but the details are not very detailed, so let's talk about it yourself." ”

The more the other party asked him not to be nervous, the more Lu Li felt his heart beating into a ball, what kind of character was the other party? They represent the supreme leader of the People's Republic of China! Can...... How could his name be known to him?

Xu Chaodong saw a lot of people, and the nervousness and restraint of his young man could naturally be seen, so he smiled first: "Comrade Lu Li may still not know what's going on, right?" This is because Mr. Zhu talked to the chairman about you after a meeting. Moreover, Wu Lao of the ** department, before this, he also talked about your situation in front of the chairman. Especially if you're doing your own business in Hong Kong and you've achieved quite a bit, isn't it? ”

"Yes." Lu Li nodded respectfully and said, "Actually...... And just by chance, uh, I mean, meeting with Minister Wu and his old man......"

Xu Chaodong nodded frequently, indicating that he knew what happened very well, "Comrade Lu Li, don't look at you as just a young party member, but your name is already known to many people!" ”

"Huh?"

"Yes!" Xu Chaodong said with a smile: "When Wu Lao returned to Beijing (Beijing) from Hong Kong and reported to the chairman, I was also present, and I remember that the chairman was also very interested in having a member of the Hong Kong Medium School who could practice on his own and opened up such a small hot pot restaurant, attracting many Hong Kong citizens and foreign tourists to eat here." Originally, the debriefing would have been over in just half an hour to an hour, but in the end, it took two and a half hours to talk. ”

Lu Li really didn't know what kind of reaction he should give, and he just felt unbelievable in his heart! He doesn't know what kind of work state the country's leaders are, but there is an idiom called "Li Wanji", which describes these people, and they actually have to delay for so long in order to listen to their own affairs?

"Later, I heard that the chairman specially asked Comrade Zhu Jiahua of the Secretariat of the First Bureau of the Ministry to write a detailed report......

"Huh? Brother Hua also ...... "Lu Li regretted it as soon as he said it, this kind of title is too informal!" "I mean......"

Xu Chaodong smiled comfortingly, "I understand, I know it too." Speaking of which, your situation was more reported by Comrade Jiahua. He said: "Comrade Xiao Lu, how did you come up with the idea of going out on your own and leading some informed comrades to start a business together?" ”

"It's not a business at all, but I think it's a shame to be a young man who has nothing to do all day long, and expects the elderly and other family members to go to work at home and make money for their own spending. So I got my brain hot and started to do it myself. ”

"Well, I heard that when you first went to Yangcheng, you once told a big lie?"

Luli's heart was beating disobediently, this is the official record, but don't cause any trouble for yourself and others? "Don't worry, Comrade Lu Li, I came here this time to ask you about what you did wrong. Otherwise, it wouldn't be me, but the public security department. ”

Luli laughed dryly, gradually slowing down. This time he kind of understood, Xu Chaodong came to see him, and he didn't know what kind of mission he was holding, but one thing was certain, that is, someone in the central government, because of some accidental factors, was very interested in him, and that was enough! "I ...... At the beginning, I had already admitted my mistake to Secretary Li. ”

"I know, I know," Xu Chaodong nodded frequently and said, "Then, Comrade Lu Li, you go on, go on." ”

Luley nodded and began to speak from the beginning. Xu Chaodong, Li Ting, and the secretary who did not know the name were taking notes at any time, and this conversation lasted from nine o'clock in the evening until more than three o'clock in the morning of the next day, and it was only after he told the truth about his legendary experience.

Xu Chaodong listened all the time, and he didn't interrupt easily, until he said that he had encountered Fang Ba's catastrophe, and he refused to bow his head and give in, and finally had no choice but to go back to China to discuss countermeasures, and then asked, "Then, what are you going to do next?" ”

Luli smiled bitterly and did not speak.

"Comrade Chaodong, it's too late today, you came from Beijing (Beijing), and you're also very tired, let's rest, okay?"

"Okay." Xu Chaodong and the secretary smiled and nodded, and Li Ting arranged for someone to lead them down to rest, not to mention it. Li Ting turned his head back to the living room, but saw Lu Li rarely lit a cigarette and was smoking, "Secretary...... What's going on here? I...... Are you going to get into trouble? ”

"I can't say this kind of thing, but Chao Dong is a friend of the old secretary Xi in the province, and he was also a comrade-in-arms back then, and the secretary called me and said that it was related to the personnel changes at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee that ended in June this year and the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China next year."

"Huh?" Lu Li was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and the smoke came out like smoke in a cupping, and his expression was gimmicky, "Xiao Lu, your personal affairs, there is nothing worth paying attention to, but the path you are taking, intentionally or unintentionally, coincides with the economic policies of some people in the central government!" ”

"I don't ...... Got it. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I don't understand either." Li Ting said with a wry smile, patted his leg, and stood up, "Xiao Lu, you have a sentence that impressed me very deeply, we are now in an era of rapid change, if we can't catch up and conform to the development of the times, the final result is to be swept down by the tide of the times and become a symbol in the memoirs of some successful people!" ”

"Secretary Li?"

Li Ting couldn't help yawning, "It's too late, let's rest early." ”

Lu Li stood up and said respectfully: "You also rest early, good night." (To be continued.) )
