The legendary Cheng Dacai is tall, with a straight nose and a square mouth, and the characteristics of northerners are very obvious, and at first glance it gives people a very honest and credible feeling. His most striking feature is that his eyebrows are thick and long, which are joined together in the middle, which is the most authentic one-line eyebrows. When Xia wanted to go in, he had an apron tied around his waist, half a cucumber in his mouth, his hands covered with vegetable leaves, and he was vigorously stirring the eggs in the bowl.

Seeing that Xia wanted to come in, he didn't say hello, and said directly: "The whisk is actually not easy to use, it may be related to my uncooked technique, and the eggs are always uneven." If you don't beat it evenly, the scrambled eggs will not be tender and the taste will be poor...... Do you have any good ways not to? ”

"No, I'm not very good at cooking." Xia Xiang shook his head, thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is a stupid way, the poor family used to not be able to afford to eat eggs, and they were reluctant to eat more, so when they beat the eggs, they would put some water and stir the eggs, and once the eggs were mixed with water, they would be smooth and tender when they were fried." ”

"Really?" When Cheng Dacai spoke, his eyebrows were raised, as if he was excited and questioning.

Xia Xiang was noncommittal: "I also heard about it, whether it works or not, you have to give it a try to know." ”

Cheng Dacai did not hesitate to pour a little water into it, then heated the oil, poured the eggs into the pot and fried them. After a while, a plate of golden scrambled eggs was scrambled, he tasted it, and nodded again and again: "Yes, it is indeed good, the taste is much smoother...... I don't understand, since it's such a simple truth, why do most people don't put water when they scramble eggs? ”

Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Cheng is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and now he no longer likes slippery food, and has returned to light, which is the third stage, so he doesn't feel anything when he eats water-filled eggs." For families who can just afford to eat eggs, they eat too many water-filled eggs, thinking that eggs that are not water-filled are fragrant and delicious. Compared with the fragrant and pure pure eggs, the smooth and tender water-infused eggs are a helpless practice for him when he can't afford to eat eggs. ”

Cheng Dacai smiled: "The third stage? So what are the first two phases? ”

In fact, it is still the cliché three sentences, the first stage is to see the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water. The second stage is to see the mountain is not the mountain, and the water is not the water. The third stage is back to seeing the mountain as the mountain and seeing the water as the water. In the same way, seeing mountains is mountains, and seeing water is water, but the mentality is completely different. Xia Xiang also had a feeling, remembering that in order to pursue economic development in later generations, many evil incidents that polluted the environment were caused. In order to pursue high yields, genetically modified crops that do not even eat insects are planted in large quantities. In order to pursue the one-sided admission rate, too many high-scoring and low-ability champions have been created. When I woke up, I went back to make up for it, but it has already caused a lot of irreparable damage...... Who would have thought that now rural people are extremely envious of urban people, more than ten years later, urban people began to envy the organic life of rural people who are not polluted and do not eat toxic food and vegetables, he retracted his mind and smiled, "Just like Europeans are used to driving cars, and then walking is said to be environmental protection and fitness, and we can't afford to buy a car, so we have to walk to fitness, although the same is walking, but the mentality is completely different." We appreciate the mountains and rivers, just as the masters appreciate the mountains and rivers and see the same scenery, but the mood is high and low. ”

Cheng Dacai took off his apron, put the scrambled eggs aside, and laughed: "What do you mean is that I have nothing to do to scramble eggs, just like housewives have to cook scrambled eggs for their families, although they are all cooking, but for me it is a relaxing experience, and for housewives, it is a boring errand that has to be done, isn't it?" ”

Xia Xiang also smiled: "The metaphor is close, the meaning is similar, the total scrambled eggs and the housewife's scrambled eggs, the same dish, the added value is very different." Just like celebrity calligraphy and painting, if you don't sign it, you may not be named. Once signed, it will be priceless. Why, it's because there is intangible value. ”

"You may be seated!" Cheng Dacai finally asked Xia Xiang to sit down, and he also sat down on the sofa opposite, "Xia Xiang, the name is very interesting, the idea is also good, not only young but also very knowledgeable, according to what you mean, Baoxing Garden can be built into a high-rise residential building, and it is the first high-rise community in Yan City?" ”

Xia Xiang straightened his body: "If it is built by someone else, it may not be able to start." However, Dacai Group can succeed in one fell swoop, and the appeal of the brand cannot be ignored. ”

Cheng Dacai didn't mention the issue of Baoxing Garden again, and jumped directly to another topic: "Listen to Shen Lichun, you have a lot of insights into the current situation and future development of real estate in Yan City, let's listen to it......" He raised his right hand and drew an arc in the air, very instructive, "If you say it well, it can be adopted, and it will not be less of your benefits." ”

Cheng Dacai took it for granted that Xia must have a plan.

Xia Xiang didn't explain much, and said the grand plan of Yan City in his mind: "Dacai Group is a leading enterprise in Yan City and even Yan Province, and many times we must have the courage to be the first in the world. In my mind, the first high-rise community, the first luxury villa, the first property-free community, the first low-cost community, etc., should all come from the handiwork of Dacai Group. Since Mr. Cheng is the first person in Yanshi real estate, he must have the vision of many steps ahead of others, and he should be able to see which places should be written by Dacai Group on the grand plan for the future of Yanshi......

Xia Xiang didn't say much, and he didn't specifically fall on which community or location, because he knew that at the level of Cheng Dacai, he was only concerned about the general direction, and he was no longer interested in the specific implementation details, nor did he have the energy to pay attention, so Xia Xiang just briefly said it from the overall direction, and he also knew that the development direction of Dacai Group he said was in line with Cheng Dacai's future thinking, and slightly added some of his hints to the guidance of his surname.

It is hoped that Dacai Group will pay more attention to affordable housing and set its sights on low-income families. In the future, the trend of rising housing prices is inevitable, and it is not a historical trend that he can stop, so he can only influence Cheng Dacai as much as possible and let him do more things that are beneficial to ordinary people.

Cheng Dacai didn't speak, to Xia Xiang's surprise, he was a very qualified listener, with a focused expression, a serene demeanor, and a good listener. Those who achieve great things must have something extraordinary, and it is true, at least Cheng Dacai's deferential posture is very useful.

"Have a light lunch together at noon?" After the conversation, Cheng Dacai did not express any opinion on Xia Xiang's statement, and directly skipped it, but tied an apron while talking, "Do you want to try my craft?" Shoot a cucumber, mix a cold skin, and get a snowy mountain red plum - it's tomatoes mixed with sugar, and a glass of cold beer for one person, how about it, it's hearty enough, right? ”

The founder of the dignified Dacai Group invited him to eat a vegetarian meal at noon, and it was all cold dishes, and no one would believe it when he said it! However, Xia Xiang understands Cheng Dacai's hobby, for such a legendary figure, everything he has experienced is unimaginable to many people, and he decides to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars with a wave of his hand, the head of a huge empire, he also has many secrets that he doesn't know.

It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Xia Xiang stayed, accompanied Cheng Dacai to dinner, said some inconsequential words, and made innocuous jokes, except for not a word about work and real estate. Cheng Dacai even asked Xia Xiang if he had a girlfriend and what kind of girl he liked, but he didn't ask what he had to do with Chen Feng and what purpose he wanted to see him.

Smart people speak, and they don't need to be pointed. Although Xia wanted to know that Cheng Dacai might misunderstand him and think that he wanted to get some benefits, he didn't explain. In front of Cheng Dacai, there is no need to rush to prove everything. What kind of person is Cheng Dacai? From national-level leaders to scoundrels, who hasn't seen him? What hasn't been dealt with? For him, all those who approach him have different purposes, it doesn't matter if you have a purpose, what matters is whether you have the ability to impress him.

After eating, Cheng Dacai bluntly told Xia Xiang that he wanted to take a lunch break, Xia Xiang respectfully said goodbye and left, Cheng Dacai sent him to the door and waved his hand: "Xiao Xia, when you want to eat light meals in the future, you can come to me." ”

Xia wanted to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he originally thought that he was going to return in vain today, but he didn't expect Cheng Dacai's last sentence to give him a glimmer of hope, he knew that Cheng Dacai's door had opened a crack in the door to him, although it was said that the door crack was very small, not enough for him to see the scenery inside the door, but at least it provided a possibility that he could push the door in.

As soon as I arrived at the unit in the afternoon, I was called into the office by Gao Hai.

"Envision Group has appointed you as their liaison in the municipal axe," Mayor Chen nodded. I don't know much about the origin of Envision Group, but it seems that the other party is very determined and wants to gain a foothold in Yan City...... Xiao Xia, this is a great opportunity, as long as the development of Envision Group in Yan City is smooth, you, as their designated contact, can write a strong stroke on your resume. I'm looking forward to seeing you go one step further in a year's time. ”

Gao Hai's words are sincere, the officialdom is to praise the high and not the low, Xia Xiang's current upward momentum is very good, not to mention that he has Mayor Chen's appreciation and Mayor Cao's support, he is in the office of the urban village reconstruction team, which is a place where both achievements and right and wrong can be heard. But it is precisely because we are on the cusp of all forces that we have more opportunities to stand at the forefront of the tide. Think about it, a large group from Beijing to Yan City to invest in Xia Xiang named Xia Xiang as their contact, didn't it make it clear that they wanted to hand over their results to Xia Xiang?

Of course, Gao Hai also thought with emotion, and he couldn't just envy Xia Xiang's good life and not see his capable side. Who asked him to say Mayor Chen's thoughts at the meeting, and it also coincided with Envision Group's plan? This is not luck to explain, it can only be said that Xia Xiang is talented, knowledgeable, and good luck at the same time, plus there is a backstage, isn't it just the four newcomers in the officialdom, can he not make great strides?

Xia Xiang still maintained a respectful attitude towards Gao Hai: "In the future, I will have to rely on Uncle Gao's guidance, there are some things that I don't think about, although Uncle Gao criticizes, it is all for the sake of progress, criticizing me, I have to invite Uncle Gao to dinner." ”

"Speaking of eating, I really have an opinion, Xiao Xia, you have been in Yan City for a while, either with your girlfriend, or with Mayor Cao too closely, my Uncle Gao was ignored by you, tell me, are you not doing it right?" Gao Haiming is criticizing, secretly getting closer, but in fact, he is a little resentful, and he always deliberately keeps a distance from him.

The secretary general of the municipal axe is a key position, the level is not high, but the power is not small, mainly to connect the upper and lower, all aspects must be taken care of, and non-mayoral henchmen are not competent. Xia Xiang has mixed feelings about Gao Hai, although he also thinks that others are good, but because Song Chaodu has always refused to pull him, he is always worried that maybe Gao Hai has offended Song Chaodu in something, so he is also worried that if he gets too close to Gao Hai, after Song Chaodu gains power, there will be an adverse impact.

But now it seems that Gao Hai doesn't care about others for the time being, and he really doesn't have to say anything to him, so he honestly accepts Gao Hai's criticism: "Uncle Gao is right in criticism, I've been busy with work recently, and I have to take time to talk about love, so I can't be busy...... Since Uncle Gao criticized me, I will correct it. I'll make an appointment with Uncle Cao tonight to see if he has time to sit together? ”

The meaning of sitting down is to meet and eat privately with a surname, compared to the official affairs in the municipal axe, the relationship can be closer, Gao Hai is naturally willing to have more dealings with Cao Yongguo, they are all the descendants of Mayor Chen, he and Cao Yongguo, really have not communicated in private.

Cao Yongguo heard that Xia wanted to pull the strings out of it, so he agreed.

The meeting place was chosen in Chufeng Building.

It happened that Cao Shumu called and wanted to have dinner with Xia Xiang, and Xia Xiang mentioned the arrangements for the evening. Cao Shumu thought about Xia and said, "Uncle Gao is not an outsider, so I'll go over to eat, okay?" It's just too far away, and I have to go back to school in the evening......"

Xia Xiang couldn't understand what she meant: "Forget it, who made you my little girl, I'll pick you up, and then send you back, take care of the delivery, satisfied?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, count yourself as having a heart." Cao Shumu exclaimed happily, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I didn't meet Sun An last time, or I also called Sun An and Uncle Sun, and it doesn't hurt for everyone to know each other, isn't it?" ”

Xia Xiang sighed in her heart, the little girl is very smart and knows how to take advantage of the situation, and she is also helping herself weave a network of relationships. Because of the presence of Cao Yongguo and Gao Hai, Sun An's father will also look down on him, and will not look down on him just because he is Cao Shumu's boyfriend.

Xia Xiang had no reason to refuse, so he asked the little girl to call and contact. After a while, she called back, saying that under her coercion and temptation, Sun An did not dare not agree, and also invited his father, Director Sun Dingguo, to be moved.

Xia Xiang said to Gao Haiyi that Sun Dingguo, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, also had dinner together, and Gao Hai was overjoyed and nodded and said yes. Xia Xiang was embarrassed to say that he wanted to pick up Cao Shumu, Gao Hai naturally had no objection, so he asked Xia Xiang to go, don't worry about him, he will drive to Chu Fenglou to prepare.

As Gao Hai, it is a proper etiquette to arrive at the location in advance to wait for Mayor Cao.

Xia wanted to drive the Santana sent by Qiao Baitian to Cao Shumu, although the car at this time did not even have the clutch to help, and it would hurt to step on it after driving for a long time, but shuttling in the flow of people, the air conditioner was turned on, looking at the sweaty crowd outside, I still felt that it was good to have a car. Regardless of whether the good car is bad or bad for the time being, at least it can be warm in winter and cool in summer.

picked up Cao Shumu at the school gate, only to find that the little girl didn't know when her short hair was long, and she could already tie up her braids. She wore a plain dress, neither long nor short, quite elegant, and her silver locks were tied around her neck.

"Why did you grow your long hair?" Xia Xiang asked curiously, glanced at her charming neck again, and pointed hard, "You said you wanted to tell me the secret of your silver lock from Ba County, and it's been almost a year now, and I still don't know what secrets the silver lock hides?" ”

Cao Shumu saw that Xia wanted to finger her chest, so she hurriedly covered her chest, and when she heard that it was a silver lock, she let out a sigh: "I thought I was wearing something less, but I obviously remember to wear it...... Just to prevent you from peeking, huh! She smiled and pulled her hair back into a short braid, "I think long hair is good, it seems like you prefer long hair, don't you?" ”

"Who said that?" Xia Xiang was more puzzled, why did the little girl say this.

"Yang Bei and Lian Ruohan both have long hair!" Cao Shumu glanced at Xia Xiang provocatively, meaning, if you let me say it, okay, just point out your inner secret.

Xia wanted to pretend to wipe his sweat: "Whether they have long hair or not, they have nothing to do with me." ”

"I don't have a dime, and I feel like there might be a penny to do it, so I try to have long hair as well, and I have longer hair than anyone else." Cao Shumu's logic made Xia Xiang completely speechless, he had to take advantage of the turn, pretending to be in a hurry to drive, and deliberately didn't answer her words, but the little girl was also interesting, and she didn't force him to stop at the point, and changed the topic again, "The silver lock was given to me by my grandmother, saying that as long as I wear it all the time and don't take it off, I can lock the happiness of a lifetime." He also said that if I want to pick it, I can only let a man who loves me all my life pick it...... Alas, although I don't believe what the old man said, my grandmother is also kind, and I have always worn it. ”

After a while, Cao Shumu sighed again: "You say, can two people really love each other for a lifetime?" The book says that love can only last for a maximum of 18 months...... It seems like it's really accurate, and I already hate you a little bit now. ”

"Heroes see the same thing." Xia Xiang didn't follow Cao Shumu's words, "Love is a chemical secreted in the body, once the chemical stops secreting, love does not exist, so it is absolutely a lie to say that I love you for a lifetime, I don't believe it, what love does two people have to love, isn't it, Mucuna girl?" ”

"It's you big-headed ghost!" Cao Shumu unceremoniously twisted Xia Xiang's leg, "Girls have to rely on sweet words to coax, especially before they are deceived, they must be added with rhetoric, they are as stupid as you are, and you deserve not to find a girlfriend." ”

"Who says I don't have a girlfriend? I have so many girlfriends, if you don't believe me, if you call, a beautiful woman will come to me immediately......"
