"Cooperate on projects, what kind of projects," Sun Nan was puzzled,

Xue Tianhao then turned to the topic and said: "A few days ago, I had dinner with a few friends from the Municipal Cultural Bureau, and I heard from them that the Municipal Cultural Bureau is going to build a cultural building, Sun Nan, I asked you out today, just to talk to you, let you give me an idea, and take down this project,"

"I'm not the director of the Cultural Bureau, nor am I the city leader, and the construction of the Cultural Building is not under my control, how can you let me help you," Sun Nan looked at Xue Tianhao in confusion,

Xue Tianhao smiled and said: "Yes, you are not the director of the Cultural Bureau, but you are the deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau in charge of the capital budget, and the funds for the construction of the Cultural Building must come from your Finance Bureau, and you have to be approved by the deputy director in charge of the budget. can help me get this project in hand,"

Sun Nan finally understood that Xue Tianhao asked him to come forward to greet Hao Zhengde, director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and help him win the project.

Of course, after helping Xue Tianhao get this project, Xue Tianhao will not forget her.

According to Xue Tianhao's promise, as long as Sun Nan helps Xue Tianhao win the project, he can withdraw three and five percent of the benefit fee according to the contract price, and get a considerable amount of commission.

The budget for the construction of the Cultural Building by the Cultural Affairs Bureau has been reported to the Finance Bureau, and a total of 36 million yuan is needed for the construction of the building.

For an ordinary state cadre like Sun Nan, even if he is extremely poor all his life, works hard for a lifetime, or even struggles for several lifetimes or more than ten lifetimes, he can't earn so much money, and he only needs to come forward to call Hao Zhengde, director of the Cultural Bureau, to help Xue Tianhao get this project, and he can get it without much effort, think about it, how easy and simple it is.

However, he is a state functionary, and he is also a state cadre, the deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and this is not allowed by law, to be precise, it is illegal, it is a crime, and once it is known by outsiders, everything will be over.

For this reason, without waiting for Xue Tianhao to finish speaking, Sun Nan put down the coffee cup in his hand, shook his head and waved his hand, and said categorically: "No, no, this is absolutely not good,"

Xue Tianhao seemed to have expected her to react like this, so he was not in a hurry, and he did not show the slightest disappointment, he still smoked slowly, and waited for Sun Nan to say a few times in one breath, before he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Sun Nan, you listen to me first, okay,"

Sun Nan realized his gaffe at this time, and felt that he was too anxious, even if he couldn't help, he didn't have to refuse so directly, wouldn't he be tactful, slow down, would he die, after all, he and Xue Tianhao's classmates, as the saying goes, one generation of classmates has three generations, and three generations of classmates enter the ancestral grave, since they are classmates, Xue Tianhao will definitely not harm herself, therefore, she tried her best to calm down her excitement, leaned on the back of the sofa, and said: "Okay, you say, how can you let me help you, the premise is, I will never do anything that violates the law and discipline,"

Xue Tianhao smiled and said: "Sun Nan, if I guessed correctly, you must be worried that things will affect your career and bring you unnecessary trouble, in fact, Sun Nan, you are too worried, this matter is only known to you, me and Director Hao, you don't say it, I don't say it, Director Hao doesn't say it, no one will know, besides, someone has to do this project, who doesn't do it, instead of giving Zhang San and Li Si to do it, it's better to let me do it, we have money and we can earn it together, Sun Nan, don't worry, we are classmates who know the roots, I will never lie to you, and, Sun Nan, you are still young, still in the position, people in the position, you must think more about your future, otherwise, when you leave this position, then you are nothing, it will be too late, and in this society, people are very snobbish, you are in the position, everyone regards you as the director, only you are the first to look forward, obey you, respect, once you come down, you are nothing, no one takes you seriously......"

Xue Tianhao said well, when a person is in a position, he wants the wind to be windy, to be rainy, the people around him change their ways to please you, slap you, obey you, respect you, once you come down, you are indeed nothing, no one takes you as a thing,

This reminded Sun Nan of the old director who had taken a back seat, and remembered the scene that had just been transferred back to the Yiyang Finance Bureau.

When he was just transferred back to Yiyang, in order to become proficient in business as soon as possible, after getting off work at noon, Sun Nan rarely went home to eat, and mostly ate in the bureau canteen.

One day after getting off work at noon, Sun Nan, as usual, came to the canteen with a meal card.

There was a lion's head sold in the canteen that day, two yuan a piece, much cheaper than the outside, and the lion's head stewed soup, stewed to milky white, put some salt chicken essence, sprinkled with some finely cut coriander, it tasted great, for this reason, there was a winding line in front of the window selling lion's head, and in front of Sun Nan was a very old man, who was so old that his skin was like a thin piece of wrinkled paper, and the wrinkled paper was covered with light brown spots, but he still lined up to buy a lion's head, drank lion's head soup, and lived with taste.

The old man is the old director of the Finance Bureau, an old director who has stepped down from his position for almost 30 years, and it is said that he is still an old revolutionary.

It was the turn of the old director, and the little girl with a red face in the window quickly picked up a lion's head and put it in a plastic bag and handed it out, "Two yuan,"

After the old director took the lion's head, he took out the money and handed it to the little girl, just when the little sister-in-law stretched out his hand to take the money, the old director suddenly took the money back, pointed to the lion's head in his plastic bag and shouted at the little girl: "No matter how big or small, it's two yuan,...... I'm afraid that doesn't make sense,"

Sun Nan couldn't help but glance at the lion's head in the old director's bag, it was much smaller,

Of course, the little girl didn't mean it, she caught up with which one, and when she saw that the old man refused to give money, she was a little annoyed, and said, "Then what do you say is reasonable?"

"Weigh it on a scale,"

"Two bucks in total,,"

"Even if it's a dime a dime, it should be worth the money,"

"Come on, isn't it just that I think you're small, if you're given a big one, you promise not to say it,"

"You, you, you, why are you unreasonable, little girl,"

"What is reasonable, not necessarily your words are reasonable,"

Seeing that there was a quarrel, Sun Nan hurriedly stood up and said to the little girl: "You may not know you just now, this is our old director,"

The little girl squinted at the sky, so squinted that there was almost only the whites of her eyes left, and the whites of her eyes were blue, and there was no impurity in the blue crystals, and only young people could have such whites, "I am not right about things," said the blue-eyed little girl.

"Then give me this," Sun Nan said, "You get another one for the old director,"

The little girl didn't say anything, if the old director didn't say anything, the matter would stop here, but at this time it was impossible for the old man not to say anything, the old man had self-esteem, he stopped Sun Nan's hand that gave money, "No, this is not a big or small issue, this is a matter of principle,"

"There is some truth in that," the little girl smiled slightly, "this is indeed a matter of principle, tell you so, master, I have been staring at you for a day or two, you see the sky to eat, others use a plastic bag, you have to use two; Meal paper, you take a stack, you are free, the canteen is expensive, if everyone is like you to take advantage of the public, our canteen, closed, "The words are fast and slippery, small mouth,

The old director, who has been honest all his life, was angered by these words, if he was not honest, why did he bother to talk so much about the size of a lion's head today,

The old man's lips trembled, and his voice trembled: "I, I...... Take advantage of the public, you, you have to speak responsibly,"

The little girl nodded and replied crisply without waiting for the other party's voice to land, "I speak very responsibly,"

Probably because the mouth did not follow, the old man wanted to blame the other party with the help of gestures, but he had something in both hands, so he had to raise the lion head in his hand together, he was old, and he was angry, and the arm holding the lion's head trembled, maybe it was a lack of strength, suddenly, as soon as the hand was loosened, the lion's head and the small aluminum pot in the other hand fell to the ground together, making a crisp sound of "bang", and then, the person collapsed softly, and when he fell to the ground, his head rubbed on Sun Nan's leg, and the hair was hot, Sun Nan subconsciously took a step back, not allowing her to think about anything more, Two people rushed up behind him to carry out the rescue, one folded his hands and skillfully massaged his chest, and the other hurriedly touched the patient's upper and lower pockets, took out a small medicine bottle and poured out two tablets of medicine and stuffed it into his mouth......

The ambulance of the hospital rushed to hear the news, and when the old man's breathing and heartbeat stopped, almost at the same time, the old man's wife arrived, and saw that the person who had lived together for decades and half an hour ago was still talking to her and laughing with her, and the old lady fainted silently, and was carried into the car together, the ambulance roared away, and the people in the three circles slowly dispersed, Sun Nan still stood in place and couldn't move, and for the first time in her life, she was greatly shocked and her life was fragile, The swiftness of death, the impermanence of life and death......

Also, it is the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the hot and cold state of the world,

Just imagine, if the old director is still in his position, will the old director still use his own queue to buy a lion's head, and will the little girl dare to treat him with that tone?

Just when Sun Nan's heart was fluctuating and his thoughts were fluttering, Xue Tianhao said to him again: "Sun Nan, it's not me saying you, people in this world, you must learn to be smarter, especially those of you who are officials, when you are in the position, you must think more about your future, as well as your parents, your brothers and sisters, if you want them to live a good life, you have to find a way to make money......"

Xue Tianhao's words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake, which completely disturbed Sun Nan's heart, and made her think of her mother who was sick in bed, as well as her sister and younger brother.

At the beginning, it was because her family was poor that her parents were bullied, and it was also because the family had no money that she married Ji Haiyang, to be precise, she sold herself as an item to Ji Haiyang, which led to a failed marriage and fell into the bottomless abyss.

and her sister Xiao Lei, because her family was poor, she dropped out of school to work in Shenzhen in order to raise tuition fees for herself and her younger brother.

If it weren't for this family, if it wasn't for helping her and her younger brother raise tuition, her sister Xiao Lei would not have dropped out of school and gone to Shenzhen, nor would she lose herself in the rolling red dust.

For this reason, Sun Nan was remorseful and guilty, feeling that he couldn't live with his parents, couldn't live with his sister Xiao Lei, and owed too much to his parents and sister.

After bringing Xiao Lei back from Shenzhen, Sun Nan secretly swore in his heart that from now on, he would never let his sister leave the house again, and he would never let his sister suffer any harm, and vowed to let his sister and the whole family live a good life.

Over the years, Sun Nan has made a lot of efforts to improve the life of his family, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket.

Now, although she rented a shop for her sister to run a tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea business on a commercial street, there are too many people doing tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea business, and the competitive pressure is very high, and her sister's income is not very impressive.

Also, my younger brother also needs money to study abroad,

All of these have become Sun Nan's heart disease, if it weren't for the sake of making this family better, maybe Sun Nan wouldn't have come to this point.

has been in the society for so many years, so that Sun Nan deeply understands a truth, that is: people are selfish, when it comes to personal interests, everyone will guard the one-third of an acre in front of their door with red eyes, when their family is in trouble, who helps their family anything, not relying on the hard work of honest parents, pushing forward little by little,

Sun Nan thought of the white eyes that his father encountered when he borrowed money from relatives and friends, and thought of the reality that his parents had worked hard in the fields all their lives but were still poor, Sun Nan swore to himself in his heart that he must make the life of the family better in the future, and let his parents live in a spacious and comfortable new house, so that they can have a healthy body and a happy old age.

And all of this needs money, and money can make my mother, sister and younger brother live a good life, and no longer be blinded by others.

"Do you think this will work, Sun Nan, I will give you a commission of five percent, and you can rest assured, I promise that I will not cause you trouble," Just when Sun Nan's thoughts fluctuated and it was difficult to make up his mind, Xue Tianhao opened a new bargaining chip,
