In the afternoon, he followed Qin Ming around the Municipal Party Committee Office, met with the people from the Administrative Section, and applied for a temporary pass, Lin Quan turned around and walked out of the Municipal Party Committee Building, went around the station, and found that Guo Baolin had added two more people with confidence. Zhao Jing began to complain about yesterday's incident, all the work could not be counted on her, Fang Nan was too busy alone, so he left the little girl named Zhang Yifei by his side, at this time Guo Baolin led Zhang Yifei to the Guoshu wholesale market to collect melons, and there were only Fang Nan and Zhao Jing in the yard.

Zhao Jing sat on the edge of the bed boredly, letting the fan blow on her head non-stop, unable to stand the heat of the dog days, her face was a little pale, oozing fine beads of sweat. Fang Nan was busy in his hands, his face was flushed, reflecting the luster of health, Lin Quan stood there, and couldn't help but look in from her neckline. Fang Nan glanced up at him, raised his hand and brushed the hanging hair behind his ears, revealing his ears as clean as jade, he didn't pay attention to Lin Quan's eyes, and said with a smile: "It's really a money-grabbing business, Guo Zi just saved another thousand, and today there are already four thousand, and it is estimated that there will be six thousand in the account when it gets dark." Guo Zi has added four more people, and two more will be added tomorrow. ”

Lin Quan was taken aback, he didn't expect it to sell so well, probably because there was no competition at the station, and Jinghai didn't have any negative reports now.

"I just went to the station and I only saw two people, and two more people on the other side of the long-distance bus station?" Thinking about this, I have to discuss this matter with Yu Qiang, I have to go to see my grandfather at this time, otherwise I won't be able to get out of the night to eat with Yu Qiang and them, I looked at Fang Nan's beautiful big eyes apologetically, and said, "It's up to you here, I still have something." ”

"What's the matter with you, aren't you lazy and used to it?" Zhao Jing heard Lin Quan's voice and jumped out of the house.

Lin Quan smiled at Zhao Jing, he was used to seeing her in fancy clothes before, but now he was still a little unaccustomed to dressing up as a lady: "You have no opinion on men, what are you scratching?" Otherwise, if you go out with me, staying here will get in the way, and it won't help much. ”

"What a man is not a man, it's hard to hear......"

Lin Quan didn't listen to her verbosity, waved his hand at Fang Nan, and rode out of the yard. At the front gate of the community, I took the No. 6 bus out of the city, and it took me more than half an hour to get to the place where Chen Ran lived in the southeast suburbs.

It was an old, somber old mansion in a three-acre wateryard. The house is surrounded by water, and only a gap four or five meters wide on the south side allows access to it. The lake is crowded next to each other with green lotus leaves, wild water chestnut, tall and majestic willow, acacia, peach, plum, ginkgo and other trees are planted on both sides of the lake, the dense shade of the trees isolates the water plateau from the outside world, and there is a small bamboo forest facing the water behind the house.

It is close to the planned university town, and if Geng Yimin is determined to pursue a new development plan, it will be requisitioned by the city government in a few years. The Chen family is a big family, Lin Quan's childhood and youth have left deep memories here, after Chen Ran left, it was much more deserted, and Lin Quan and Xiaochu's annual holidays were still here for most of the time.

Lin Quan pushed the door in, and a light yellow sheepdog came out, barked in a low voice, startled Lin Quan, and waved his hand to gently slap the sheepdog that shook his head and tail, almost half a person tall, and then Xiao Chu also jumped out of it: "I also said that I came to eat lunch, so we waited for a long time, and our stomachs were almost hungry." A little beauty followed behind, and Xiao Chu pushed her in front of him, "Xiao Yan, she is Chen Chen that I told you yesterday." ”

Chen Chen's delicate little face was oozing crimson like blood, and he struggled to hide behind Xiao Chu.

Seeing her shy expression, Lin Quan felt a slight ripple in his heart, reached out and knocked on Xiao Chu's head, and asked her, "Where is grandpa?" ”

"People introduce beautiful women to you, why are you beating me? Grandpa is pulling weeds in the back. ”

"You play with Xiaowei, I'll go find grandpa."

The short-tailed sheepdog heard Lin Quan call its name, shook its head and waged its tail again, Lin Quan squatted down and rubbed its smooth brocade fur, stuffed it into Xiao Chu's hand, turned around and walked to the back of the house, and his ears could still hear Xiao Chu and Chen Chen's whispering. "Where are all the usual wild and courageous people, my brother is handsome, right?" Lin Quan shook his head and smiled bitterly, grandpa Chen Ran was standing in the field and stretched out his hand to beat his waist, still holding a handful of green weeds in his hand.

This house is an old-style garden, before the seventies, there was a one-acre garden in the backyard, lake rockery, flowing water pavilions, exotic flowers and trees, in the early seventies, it was changed to a vegetable garden, and only a small bamboo forest facing the water in the north remained. After Chen Ran retired, he has been living in this house.

"Xiao Yan is here, I heard Xiao Chu say that you went to the Municipal Party Committee Office to find Zhao Zeng today?"

"During the summer vacation, I wanted to intern at the Municipal Party Committee." Lin Quan told Chen Ran about the development plan of the new district and what he had seen and heard in the municipal party committee today.

"Oh," Chen Ran showed a solemn expression on his face, and after a long time, he thought through the joints and laughed, "Little man, what do you think of this?" ”

"Geng Yimin wants to figure out the development of the new area to stabilize the situation in Jinghai and develop political achievements, hoping that grandpa can exert some influence."

"Although Geng Yimin has someone in the province, he is an outsider after all, and for ten years, he has not really entered the power core of Jinghai, even if he wants to do something, he lacks local support. Geng Yimin wants to progress to the province, and the development plan of the new district, although it is a bit hasty, is also the only big and dangerous move that he can get out of now. I only have a handful of old bones left, what influence do I have in Jinghai? Geng Yimin wanted to know how many people in the municipal party committee and government would really support the development of the new district, but in seven years, there have been great changes, and what was beneficial seven years ago may not be beneficial if it is delayed until seven years later, and many people's views are also quietly changing. ”

"Well, Geng Yimin seems to be very hesitant, I have read the plan from Brother Zhao Zeng, although it is incomplete, it can still be seen that Geng Yimin has the intention to take the development of the university town as the beginning of everything, and the approval procedures of the university town have been completed in the hands of his grandfather, but the funds are not in place, if Geng Yimin can get a lot of funds, it will not be a problem to build a university town."

Chen Ran shook his head, but he was not dissatisfied with Lin Quan's judgment, after all, he was only a twenty-two-year-old young man, and it was not easy to calm down and think about these issues, not to mention that Lin Quan considered the problem much more thoroughly and meticulously than most of his peers.

"The university town plan has been shelved for seven years, and it has been restarted, which does not meet the political requirements of innovation, and second, it will make Zhou Ping and Yang Yun's remaining henchmen in the system uneasy, and funding is the most important issue, even if there is an approval from the Ministry of Education, but there are still some procedures that must be restarted, everything is ready, but how can Geng Yimin, who has no local support, borrow billions of funds? The university town plan is precisely the starting point of everything, and the development of the new area can be fully launched with the university town as the radiation point in the future. Chen Ran looked around and said, "In a few years, this place will be unrecognizable, if the new district development plan can be successfully implemented, what do you think?" ”

"If it can be implemented smoothly, Geng Yimin's position will be stabilized, and it will also be a good thing for Jinghai, whose development has lagged behind over the years."

"That's all? That's not all you should see. Without the support of industrial finance and taxation, Geng Yimin's large-scale urban construction of the new district as soon as he took office may not be a good thing for Jinghai, but one thing can be confirmed, the development plan of the new district will be a feast, a feast for officials and businessmen to participate and unite to plunder the common people. ”

Lin Quan was silent, he had heard this sentence once on the train back to Jinghai, and the face of the middle-aged man in his mind was already a little blurred.

"The little couple saw it, so I couldn't wait to squeeze into this circle, the feast is not waiting for anyone, although you haven't graduated yet, I don't object to you participating now. There must be someone in the Chen family who stands up to revive the declining momentum, and those uncles and uncles of yours are not worth it. Talk about your ideas, what are you going to do, I'm old, and there are some things that can help you with ideas. ”

Lin Quan told Geng Yimin's plans and thoughts after taking office, Chen Ran thought for a while, and said: "The bank is being restructured, and there are some loopholes that can be exploited, even if Geng Yimin and Zhao Zeng are unwilling to come forward, there are ways to think about it." But when the economy is overheated, and the monetary policy is tightened above, can you make sure that all the holes are filled? The state's macroeconomic regulation and control has a cycle, which is only three or four years. I'm old, and I don't have enough brains to calculate the accounts, but a smart person is first and foremost a prudent person, a person who does not put himself in danger. Oh...... The eldest son-in-law of the second grandfather seems to work in CCB, and his connections are okay, you can look for him. ”

Lin Quan pursed his lips, his face showing disgust: "There will be a way, they will forget it." ”

"Yes, yes, I hate their faces, you come in with me, I have something to show you."

Lin Quan didn't know what else his grandfather had never seen, so he curiously followed him from the corridor into the wing, the old-fashioned wooden floor, squeaked when stepped on, the original paper windows were now replaced with stained glass, and the light was a little dim.

Chen Ran took out a stack of documents from the box and handed them to Lin Quan's hand: "Geng Yimin came to power, I thought that he would implement the new district plan, and the Chen family can only seize this opportunity. ”

"This, if you let the eldest uncle know, the family will definitely be noisy......"

"Now hide it from them, when you don't care about this house anymore, and then transfer the property rights, you don't have anything now, and the door of the bank is not easy to pry open." Besides, if the new area is developed, it will be requisitioned here, and only you can do it if you can keep this house. When the house falls into their hands, they will think about exchanging the house for money and dividing the matter. ”

Chen Ran couldn't refuse to stuff the real estate title deed into Lin Quan's hands, this house, if it was expropriated by the city government as construction land, the compensation would not be higher than 500,000 yuan, even if it was twice the price, it would not be worth the feelings that Chen Ran had lived here for a lifetime. Lin Quan snorted a few times, couldn't say anything, and pinched the title deed in his hand.

Lin Xiaochu and Chen Chenguang walked outside the door, chirping and talking.

Chen Ran took out a blank piece of paper and wrote down a list of names, once upon a time, these people were frequent visitors to this house. Chen Ran handed the list to Lin Quan, and sighed: "These people had a deep relationship with me back then, even if they took refuge in Zhou Ping and Yang Yun, they were also suspicious and excluded, I have been retired for too long, and there was no conflict with Geng Yimin when I was in power, and Geng Yimin should have nothing to worry about them." He took out a mahogany box from the drawer, wrapped in silk with a seal, and handed it to Lin Quan, "When I was in office, Geng Yimin didn't have much friendship with me, when I was sixty years old, this seal was a congratulatory gift from him, and you gave it back to him for me, plus this list, it is a congratulatory gift from me to him." ”

Lin Quan took the seal in his hand and played with it, like jade and not jade, the top was carved with a half-body lion beast, missing a corner, some rust, I couldn't see what material, there were six seals on the seal, and Lin Quan didn't know it. I looked at the list again, and some of the names were not unfamiliar, but they had only gradually fallen silent in recent years.

"Grandpa, do you want to say hello to them first?"

"If Geng Yimin thinks it's necessary, he will express it. What actions we do underneath will cause Geng Yimin's suspicion, besides, in the sea of eunuchs, don't expect others to know how to repay their kindness. I'm half in the ground, even if they understand that I gave them this favor, will they still pay attention to me, an old man? After Geng Yimin approves it, you might as well walk around with them more, they are all elites of Jinghai's middle-level cadres, and it will be helpful to your affairs. ”

Lin Quan went to the West Wing Room to hang up the phone to Zhao Zeng, Zhao Zeng knew that he had come to see Chen Ran and was waiting for his call in the municipal party committee so that he could call Geng Yimin back. Lin Quan mentioned the matter of the seal, at this time, going to the municipal party committee will cause unnecessary speculation in the eyes of people with a heart, Lin Quan hopes to visit Geng Yimin's house in the evening, and he also has the desire to take this opportunity to further deepen the relationship with Geng Yimin.

Hearing the whispering on the other end of the phone, Lin Quan guessed that Geng Yimin was next to Zhao Zeng, and maybe Zhao Zeng was in Geng Yimin's office when he answered the phone. Lin Quan thought to himself: "The mobile phone is really convenient, you don't have to wait for a call anywhere." ”

Geng Yimin still has to attend a drinking party in the evening, and there is no time for dinner, Lin Quan visited on behalf of Chen Ran, and Geng Yimin can't be too sloppy. The seal is still second, and that is just a gesture on behalf of Chen Ran; Geng Yimin was anxious about the list, and if the new district development plan was brought to the enlarged meeting of the municipal party committee for discussion, whether it could be passed smoothly, he asked Zhao Zeng to agree with Lin Quan that he would send a car to pick him up after nine o'clock.

Lin Quan thought that he would have dinner with Guo Baolin and Yu Qiang in the evening, and told Zhao Zeng to let the car go to Xiushui Pavilion to pick him up.

Zhao Zeng heard the name of "Xiushui Pavilion", hesitated for a while, and then remembered that Guo Dequan was coming, and there was nothing in his tone, only saying that he would let the car go to Xiushui Pavilion to pick him up when the time came.

Lin Quan hung up the phone and mentioned the matter of Xiushui Pavilion to his grandfather. Chen Ran said with a smile: "Geng Yimin is right, and the waves of Jinghai will be bigger, and the municipal party committee, counties and districts will reshuffle the cards, and go down to restaurants and restaurants to make profits." Guo Dequan saw the relationship between your family and Zhao Zeng, and he had such great determination and ambition, and he was an interesting person. There is still a way, first of all, we must make Xiushui Pavilion a topic, at least let the people of the municipal party committee know, and then someone else will mention it, and Zhao Zeng will also send it if someone else mentions it. ”

"Isn't the topic just an advertisement? Ordinary media advertising definitely doesn't work, it's a real headache. Grandpa, I can't stay here for dinner. ”

"It's okay, you go back to the city, take Xiao Chu away, Xiao Chu complained at noon, saying that it is not interesting to accompany me as an old man." Chen Ran laughed, leaned his head to the window, and squinted at Xiao Chu and Chen Chen's energetic figures.
