"At that time, there was a Wang Hu who chased the eldest sister, but now he is in the power bureau, with a high monthly salary, good benefits, and no tiredness at work, if the eldest sister married him, life is estimated to be much better now." The fourth uncle continued.

The fourth aunt also spoke, "Lin Jianguo's family turned out to be the county seat." ”

"The main thing is that the eldest sister is so pitiful, do you know why I didn't lend him money? If he Lin Jianguo had the ability, how could he wait until now to exert his strength? A small bookstore should have the ability to develop a long time ago. ”

"I can't say that, Brother Jianguo loves my eldest sister a lot." The second uncle argued.

"You can't just look at the surface. A lot of things are not that simple. I know Lin Jianguo's ability very well. Now lending him money is harming them, not to mention that it must be bloodless, maybe even the current small bookstore can't be maintained, once the branch is not good, it will be a bottomless pit, a dead person who loses money. The fourth uncle said in an affirmative tone.

"So, they're hopeless?" The second uncle was puzzled, "It's rare to see Brother Jianguo so serious." ”

"It's hopeless!" The fourth uncle asserted.

*************

Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng went out with garbage bags, and Jiang Feng sighed.

"Jianguo, why don't we slow down first? Wait for more profits before opening a branch, take your time? ”

"I'm fine, I'm in a hurry now, mainly because Xiaoyou also went to the third middle school, and the tuition fee is relatively high, so now it will be troublesome for Fei Fei to go to college in the future. And I see it, the house price will definitely have to rise in the future, let's not borrow some money now to buy the storefront of the branch, if you wait for the future, it may be much more expensive. Lin Jianguo said helplessly.

"Then I'll go to Yuansheng and talk about it again?" Jiang Feng hesitated.

"Don't go, his attitude was already clear just now. It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I don't want to borrow. I'll go try it with my classmates. Anyway, I've troubled him so many times, and I don't have a lot of debts. Only in the future will there be a chance to return the favor. ”

"Is it Chen Jingde?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Well, he is the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and he must have some spare money in his hands, so he has no choice but to trouble him first." Lin Jianguo said helplessly.

"It's not good, he's helped us so many times."

"Give it a try. Without further ado, I'll call him right away. Ask if he's home. ”

Lin Jianguo took out his mobile phone and called Chen Jingde. He and Chen Jingde have a friendship in a pair of pants, but they have troubled others so many times, and there is only one-sided pay, even if they are good friends, they will definitely slowly fade, friends and friends are as high as two months, after all, the foundation of needs is still equality.

After a short phone call, the call went through.

"Hey, Lao Chen? I build a nation! ”

There was a loud noise on the other side of the phone, mixed with the voices of many people, and it seemed to be a more lively occasion. "Oh, Lao Lin, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the bookstore? I'll call right away. Chen Jingde on the other side of the phone spoke in a bold tone. But it seems to be a little slurred, and it seems to be drinking.

"No," Lin Jianguo didn't finish.

"What's the problem with that? Formalities? ”

"No"

"But your store is doing very well now, has Lao Lin thought about opening a branch? If you want to open it, I'll scrape together some money for you here, hundreds of thousands of no problem! Your business is so good now, it's not cost-effective not to open a branch, you have to maximize the right market hunger! ”

"Lao Chen, I'm ready to open"

"That's right, you can come to me tomorrow, let's discuss!" Then there was another sound of persuasion on the phone, Chen Jingde pushed the wine loudly, and said again and again that it would not work.

"Who, Chen Ju, listening to your tone, you must be a person with a good relationship, right?" In the background of the phone, a middle-aged man asked.

"My iron buddy! Okay, okay, go drink your wine! I'm talking to my buddy for a few words! ”

"Ahh Jianguo remember to come over tomorrow, let's drink two glasses. Chen Jingde burped.

"That's good." Lin Jianguo replied helplessly.

"So be it. I still said, "Before I finished speaking, the connection was disconnected all of a sudden, and the phone should be out of battery."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng looked at each other. It's all in my heart. I didn't expect that the family didn't help me in the end, but my friends took the initiative to help without saying a word.

************

Inside a hotel box in the city.

Chen Jingde sat on the chairman, and four middle-aged men sat around the round dining table, one of whom was standing up and toasting him with a wine glass.

"No, no, no! It's really not good, you see I can't hold the cup well now. Chen Jingde's face was flushed, he belonged to the type of person who would get on his face as soon as he drank. At this moment, he is holding a glass full of wine, and his hand is shaking, and a lot of wine is swinging.

"It seems that Chen Ju is indeed not good. Then let's drink it! The middle-aged man saw that Chen Jingde was really not good, and immediately shifted the target of the attack. Several of them are old classmates in the party school, and the relationship is not very good, but because officialdom pays attention to the relationship network, it is common for them to contact and contact each other.

"By the way, Bureau Chen, a new company recently registered in your Ping City, the name is Yanlin Real Estate, and you need to pay more attention." A middle-aged man sitting said with a smile.

"How?" Chen Jingde was stunned for a moment, all the people present are at least at the city bureau level, and today it is only because he is a landlord that he sits in the main position, but in fact, there is not much difference in everyone's status. This is also the basis of our fellowship. And when such a character says such a thing in his mouth, it is either because the background of this company is very deep, or it is a relatively intimate relationship with the other party.

The man took a sip of Moutai with a smile and pointed to the top. "There's something up there. Be more responsible, of course, there will be no illegal things, but the procedures are faster. This is the greeting from the leader above. ”

"Which leader?"

"The biggest one here." The man whispered.

"What is the relationship between this company? How can you make the top one speak? Chen Jingde suddenly became solemn. Compared with him, the level of the secretary of the municipal party committee is several grades behind, and the gap is too great, and if he does not inquire clearly, it will not be good if he steps on a minefield one day and is used as a gun. So you have to find out.

"I heard that it has a relationship with the Rainbow Group, you know, the Rainbow Group is a large group with influence in our province, and it has a very deep background. Chairman Zhao Xinglong, Zhao Lao, and the top one have a very iron relationship. ”

Chen Jingde nodded thoughtfully.

************

When the parents came back, they looked like nothing had happened, which made the fourth uncle a little confused. Everyone sat together and chatted for a while, and the time soon came to evening.

"Then we'll go first." Lin Jianguo said with a smile, Jiang Feng and Lin Fei were standing behind them.

"Let's go with that, too." The fourth uncle and the second uncle's family also simply went out together.

When the three families left the residential building, it was already evening, and the bus had also been handed over.

The fourth uncle drove over by himself. It's just that there are more people, and there are so many people who can't sit down, so several families have to fight separately.

Jiang Nan was still a little reluctant when he left.

whispered to Lin Fei: "Remember to bring me comics and novels." ”

Lin Fei couldn't cry or laugh, "Didn't I give you this book?" He pointed to the yellow-shell book in Jiang Nan's hand, with two big characters on it - Huang Yi. Standard pirated books.

"Not enough." Jiang Nan pouted.

"Okay, okay, I'll bring it to you next time." Lin Fei smiled softly.

The car drove away slowly.

Jiang Nan looked at Lin Fei standing on the side of the road in the reflector, and did not withdraw his eyes until he disappeared and could no longer see.

"Nan Nan, what do you want so many books for? Your bookshelf is full. You don't look at it anyway. Fourth uncle Jiang Yuansheng wondered.

"It's nothing, who said I didn't watch it!" Jiang Nan retorted.

"There's a thick layer of ash on it."

Jiang Nan was silent. Jiang Yan on the side glanced at her sister deeply. It seems that something has been discovered.

Lin Fei's family stood on the side of the road and finally got a taxi, but they still gave it to the second uncle, and when the second uncle left, they couldn't stop the car anymore.

"Forget it, let's walk back by ourselves, it's not far anyway, it's just a few miles." Lin Jianguo smiled bitterly.

"That's all there is to it." Jiang Feng also said helplessly.

Lin Yu Lin Fei naturally has no opinion.

The family walked along the sidewalk in the direction of their home.

"Otherwise, I'll call my friend to pick us up." Lin Fei said suddenly.

"Your friend?" Lin Jianguo and Jiang Feng were stunned, and Lin You also looked at Lin Fei with a stunned expression.

"He has a car." Lin Fei replied calmly.
