Chapter 1: Return to the Silent Sea

Next Chapter

Sitting in the carriage of the green train that should have been eliminated a long time ago, there were five people squeezed on the row of seats for three people, if it weren't for the beautiful young woman next to Lin Quan, the huge ** would be close to his ribs, this kind of oppression was really pleasant.

The young woman was about twenty-four or five years old, perhaps younger, haggard and tired, and she slept unscrupulously against Lin Quan, and estimated that she had stayed up for a long time in the stuffy carriage, and only waited for a seat at the provincial station. The young woman was wearing an elegant cotton shirt, I don't know how much time she had been standing in the hard-seat carriage, the shirt was crumpled, soaked with sweat, and there were several obvious handprints on sensitive parts such as the waist and chest, Lin Quan curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a vague smile: In the crowded hard-seat carriage, it is difficult to even turn around, and when you see a beautiful young woman, anyone can't help but take advantage of it.

Lin Quan sat there, unable to stretch his hands and feet, and in the space between the two rows of chairs sat a middle-aged woman holding a baby, the baby's face was dry, and she looked very old, her little head was in her mother's arms, and the saliva in her mouth was stained with her chin, and she was piled up in her neck with relish. The middle-aged woman unbuttoned the inferior chemical fiber shirt, just turned sideways slightly, revealing the brown **, and stuffed the black date-sized * into the baby's mouth.

Lin Quan saw Guo Baolin's napping eyes on the other side open a thin slit, and smiled at him with slanted eyes. Guo Baolin bared his teeth, slept with his face against the cold window and closed his eyes, but his head was shaken by the fast-moving train.

Lin Quan shrank his feet under the chair, careful not to kick the middle-aged woman, and was afraid of waking up the beautiful young woman who was sleeping close to him. I felt something knock under my feet, and a thick leg covered with sweat stretched out under the seat, and I looked down to see that the eldest brother who was still standing in the aisle just now, leaning on the back of the seat with his chin in his hands, couldn't stand it at this time, and got into the narrow space under the seat, stretched his hands and feet, and fell into a dream in a foreign land.

Guo Baolin is tall, the cuffs of the T-shirt rolled up to his shoulders show bulging muscles, his head is shaved, and there are two freshly scarred scars on his face, the pink scars are like baby lips, making him look very vicious. Guo Baolin occupied the seats of two people, his head rested against the wall of the carriage, and he curled up in the seat barefoot, and his comfortable posture made Lin Quan very envious.

From the provincial capital to Jinghai, the fare of an air-conditioned bus is 83 yuan; The air-conditioned train is 46 yuan, and the green train (referring to the ordinary train) is discounted with a student ID card, only 11 yuan, which is why Lin Quan and Guo Baolin sat in the hard-seat carriage of the green train.

Guo Baolin's family is wealthy, but at the end of the term, he had a big quarrel with his son Guo Dequan, which made him cut off grain and grass.

Lin Quan's father is the principal of a second-rate middle school, and he belongs to the kind of people who are praised in novels and ridiculed in life, so Lin Quan's living expenses in college have been tight, Guo Baolin ate instant noodles in Lin Quan's dormitory for two days, and waited for Lin Quan to finish all his subjects before taking the train back to Jinghai together.

Before getting on the train, the two divided the last pack of instant noodles and sat on the train, and the two kept talking about returning to Jinghai to go to the "Eight Big Bowls" to satisfy their hunger. "Eight big bowls" is Guo Baolin's old son Guo Dequan's restaurant, take Guo Baolin's own words, Guo Dequan is a businessman, every day to go to the eight bowls of the sea to eat and drink is to rob the rich and help the poor.

Lin Quan thought to himself: "Annihilation of merchants? God knows that my greatest goal in life is to be a merchant. ”

In high school, although the two were in the same school, Guo Baolin's seventh class and Linquan's third class, with the high-pressure learning atmosphere of the provincial key high school, people in different classes rarely developed unusual friendships. Guo Baolin rented a house outside the school in his junior year of high school, saying that he was studying, but in fact, it was Guo Baolin's den outside the school, and his classmates used it as a place to watch A movies. Lin Quan went to a boy from the neighboring class once, and he became familiar with the road after that, but he didn't know Guo Baolin at that time, and sometimes the two sat on a stool to watch movies and didn't talk much. With "carrying a gun together, going to the countryside together, and prostituting together" as the standard of hardcore friendship, watching a movie together is enough to make two strangers have enough affection. Since then, Lin Quan and Guo Baolin have occasionally bumped into each other on campus, and they will smile kindly.

Guo Baolin is notoriously fierce and ruthless, but he is quite smart, never brings messy things to the school, and does not fall in the school, plus the name of his son Guo Dequan, so that the school has some scruples, although Guo Baolin's grades are very bad, but he also spent three years smoothly in a provincial key middle school such as the city No. 1 Middle School.

After the college entrance examination, Lin Quan knew that Guo Baolin's college entrance examination results were too bad, and he was embarrassed to ask him which school he was admitted to, so they disappeared and stopped contacting.

One day when Lin Quan entered the provincial army for his first month of military training, the power on the campus suddenly went out, and all the freshmen fell into a kind of overjoyed frenzy, and it was a blessing not to have to crowd into the lecture hall and sing revolutionary songs loudly.

The moonlight floated, the figures were building, and it was so dark that it was impossible to distinguish each other's faces, Lin Quan guessed the appearance of the girls who passed by by according to the delicate or rough voice, and heard someone talking in Jinghai dialect in the dark shadow in front of him. Jinghai dialect is very earthy, people in Jinghai city rarely use Jinghai dialect to talk, Lin Quan came to the provincial capital for more than half a month and was not embarrassed to say that he is from Jinghai, at first hearing someone talk in Jinghai dialect, there is a kind of joy of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land.

Lin Quan greeted them in Jinghai dialect, and Guo Baolin squeezed out of the group of figures, walked towards Lin Quan, and called out his name first. Guo Baolin caught up with the good time of expanding the enrollment of colleges and universities, and entered a major in the Chengren Education College of Donghai Provincial University, whose name he still can't remember, and became an alumnus with Lin Quan again. It's a shame to say that Lin Quan was not sure that he was Guo Baolin, who had a great reputation in the school, but all this did not prevent their friendship from growing by leaps and bounds.

This friendship quickly reached the point that Guo Baolin and Ma Zi sometimes found that there was only one condom left in his trouser pocket in the hotel, and he had no chance to get out to buy it, so he called Lin Quan and asked him to buy it in code, and then handed him the condom under the table during dinner together, but he went back to the hotel with Ma Zi who had been tricked, and Lin Quan returned to the dormitory alone.

Guo Baolin's head was leaning against the wall of the carriage, and a silver smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, recalling the silver scene when a good family struggled under him.

"The Yangtze River migrates thousands of miles from the snowfield, rushing and falling, until it reaches the sea downstream, and the water becomes gentle and supple like a virgin. Hundreds of millions of tons of sediment were deposited in the estuary, piled up into numerous sandbars and sand bars. The flow of the river constantly deviates to the right, merging the sandbar and sandbar into the north bank in turn, forming a narrow sandbar plain. On this sandbar plain is a bright pearl in eastern China - Jinghai ......"

Jinghai Station was about to arrive, Lin Quan twisted his sour neck, and pushed the young woman who had been clinging to his ribs for several hours outward, glimpsing the unusually delicate skin and flesh under her neck, and the full ** propped up the cotton shirt to a bulge, revealing a faint flesh color, and a hot breath rose in the lower abdomen.

The sweet voice on the radio was like a pebble thrown into the calm waters of a lake, causing a stirring in the carriage.

"The development of Jinghai in recent years is not as good as before, a few years ago, it was still in the forefront of the ranking of major coastal cities, and Jinghai has not been seen in the past few years......

"Why is there no ranking? Turn to the last page and count down to seventh place. A joking voice interrupted the other party's emotion, "After Chen Ran stepped down, Zhou Ping and Yang Yun were both losers, seven or eight years have passed, and they all said that they would change the appearance of Jinghai, how much has Jinghai changed?" Zhou Ping served as the secretary of the municipal party committee for two years, and when the term was changed, people poked out 20 million assets. Twenty million, even if there is no evidence of corruption and bribery, the crime of unknown origin of a huge amount of property alone is enough for him to squat in prison for a lifetime, who would have thought that he patted his ass and was transferred to Qingchi to be the mayor, but people planted a heel in Qingchi and clicked. ”

"Alas," a deep sigh containing indignation, "what about Yang Yun? He has been the secretary of the municipal party committee for five years, and Jinghai has not improved in his hands. ”

"What can be improved, Chen Ran and Zhou Ping were secretly brought down by him, he is busy recruiting cronies, buying and selling officials, how can he have time to develop Jinghai's economy? Not to mention anything else, the money he made from selling his official position alone is more than Zhou Ping's, Jinghai City has a clear real price, the township secretary ranges from 200,000 to 500,000, Jinghai has six counties and one city, there are more than 300 townships and towns, change them one by one, how much money can Yang Yun make? ”

"500,000, there are 500,000, who is happy to be a township secretary, and he will be treated at the department level?"

"Brother, I don't have a vision. Being a township secretary in Jinghai is comparable to being a county party secretary in the west, does Zhenghuai Textile Factory know? Originally, it was a collective enterprise in Zhenghuai Town, and it was restructured two years ago, with assets of nearly 10 million yuan, and the benefits were quite good, but in the end, it was less than 3 million, and as a result, the town secretary paid 1.5 million yuan, and a private boss paid 1.5 million yuan, and the factory was transformed into a private enterprise. I heard that the town secretary's 1.5 million yuan was still paid by the private boss, think about it, if it is not for the position of the secretary, how can there be such a good thing? ”

"Ugh." Lin Quan turned his head and saw that the heads of the two middle-aged people were coming together, and he was looking at a magazine called "City Survey", which densely listed the names of some cities and economic development data, and a haggard middle-aged man couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard the appalling rumors in his companion's mouth, revealing a lot of helplessness and grief.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him had a playful look on his face: "Lao Zhang, you still can't see through the world today?" It has always been the collusion of officials and businessmen to rob civilians. ”

"The municipal party committee has changed the new team, Jinghai's situation may be better, Jinghai ranked second in the province in previous years, these years, although it is said that it has only fallen to the third place, but the total economic volume is worse than the second place, and it is not possible to catch up."

"Geng Yimin is the same, he has only been in office for three months, and he has repeatedly emphasized anti-corruption and clean government, and I think he is also very bad in his bones." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man laughed proudly, holding a cigarette in his right hand, and when he said the excitement, he couldn't help but wave, "It's better for Chen Ran to continue to be the secretary of the municipal party committee......

"Didn't Chen Ran retire because of economic problems?"

"Almost, I heard that his children are greedy for money, Chen Ran is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and his two sons are all tens of millions of family assets......"

"Alas......"

"Although Chen Ran connived at his children to accumulate wealth, after all, he still has some real skills, he has been in office for nine years, how fast Jinghai has developed! Anyway, there is no one who is not greedy, so find a ...... with a level among corrupt officials" He saw Lin Quan turn his head to look at him, and nodded slightly, which was considered a courtesy between strangers.

Lin Quan nodded, which was considered a return gift. In these years, many people are depressed, but there is a lot of energy to talk about the secrets of officialdom. Although it is chasing after the wind, what this middle-aged man said in his mouth can indeed be found in Jinghai.

Lin Quan is an ordinary sophomore at Donghai Provincial University, although it is ordinary, but it is not far away from Jinghai's officialdom, the former Jinghai Municipal Party Secretary Chen Ran mentioned by the two middle-aged people is Lin Quan's grandfather, and Lin Quan's mother is Chen Ran's adopted daughter Chen Xiu. Strange to say, Lin Quan was not born to Chen Xiu, but came to the Lin family after he was four years old.

Although Lin Quan and Chen Ran are not related by blood, he is Chen Ran's most favored and laissez-faire grandson. After Chen Ran left office because of economic problems, the aura of gorgeous wealth was like a bubble in the water, and it was completely shattered overnight, and Lin Quan, who was only fifteen years old at the time, suffered a considerable psychological setback, and in the endless ridicule and ridicule, he developed an indifferent and quiet surname.

is the current secretary of the municipal party committee, Geng Yimin, and Lin Quan is no stranger. Geng Yimin was a college classmate of Lin Quan's father, Lin Mingda. When Chen Ran was in power, Geng Yimin was the deputy secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of the Jingnan District Party Committee. After Chen Ran left office, Geng Yimin successively served as the secretary general of the municipal party committee, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and secretary of the municipal party committee. Geng Yimin's secretary, Zhao Zeng, who only became the deputy secretary general of the listing committee in April this year, was still a student of Lin Mingda when he was the vice principal of the city's No. 1 Middle School. Although Geng Yimin's relationship with the Lin family has faded, Zhao Zeng has received too much favor from Lin Mingda, and Zhao Zeng's high school and college expenses are funded by Lin Mingda, and he has always had close contacts with the Lin family. Zhao Zeng became the deputy secretary general of the listing committee, and when he held a private banquet at home, Lin Quan also deliberately asked for leave to return to Jinghai once.

The conversation between the two middle-aged men attracted several young men to gather around, and they interjected a sentence or two from time to time to condemn the corrupt officials in Jinghai. Lin Quan sat back in his seat, leaning his head on the strange back full of greasy dirt, looking out the window at the familiar **, feeling the huge power of the train pulling him back to the familiar and unfamiliar city.

Since Geng Yimin's unexpected victory in the election of the municipal party committee, Lin Quan, who is far away in the provincial capital, clearly knows that his opportunity has finally come.
