On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Zeng Yi was having dinner at Shao Haibo's house when he heard someone shouting in the courtyard outside: "Is this Dean Shao's house?" ”

Shao Haibo put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house, and saw a cadre-like person standing in the courtyard, thirty-five or sixteen years old, so he said, "May I ask ...... you?" "Hello Dean Shao!" The man immediately changed his smile, stretched out his hands and came to Shao Haibo, and said enthusiastically: "It's been a hundred years for Dean Shao, happy New Year!" ”

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Shao Haibo mechanically held the other party's hand, confused, he didn't know who the other party was at all, "You are ......", "You are ......"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Zheng Nengfu, and I am the deputy director of our Baima County Government Office." The man politely introduced.

Shao Haibo let out an "oh" and said, "It turned out to be Director Zheng, hello, hello." But I still don't understand the other party's intention.

"Dean Shao, that's the case, we have a tradition in Baima County, every year for the New Year, the county will bring the young people and gentlemen who go out from our Baima County to hold a New Year tea party, everyone is the pride of our Baima people, usually busy outside, and it is rare to go back to their hometown once, and now they are back, there is a festival, and the people in their hometown will naturally be warmly received!" Zheng Nengfu opened the briefcase with a smile, took out a fiery invitation, respectfully handed it to Shao Haibo, and said: "The time is set for tonight, Dean Shao is a big man who goes out on our white horse, please be sure to enjoy it!" ”

Shao Haibo knew what was going on with us, took the invitation, and said, "I must be there, and let Director Zheng run this trip, it's hard work!" ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, Dean Shao has worked hard!" Zheng Nengfu said a few polite words, and then offered his farewell, "Then don't disturb Dean Shao, let's see you in the evening!" ”

"See you in the evening."

Shao Haibo was sent to the gate, then took the invitation card back to the house, put it on the dining table, and said: "These parents are really painstaking!" ”

Zeng Yi smiled, he also heard what he said outside just now, and said: "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, our Baima County is a poor county, an inland county, and nothing can be relied on, what do you let them do, they can only think of more ways by themselves." ”

Shao Haibo shook his head helplessly and said, "Eat, eat." ”

Now all localities are attracting investment, and the competition is very, very fierce, and in order to attract projects and funds, officials in various places are also trying all means.

If you want to invite a foreign businessman to invest in a place where you are not familiar with life, it may be more difficult, unless you have an innate advantage that cannot be given by other places; However, it is less difficult to invite back outstanding people who have gone out from the local area, after all, it is the homeland, and you have to invest a little bit.

In addition, some local officials serving in other places are also an important resource, if the relationship is done well, in place, not only can bring a few big projects to the hometown, maybe in the career of local officials to provide assistance.

Therefore, for the movements of these elites abroad, the county will generally grasp in real time, the so-called New Year tea party, is just a righteous and bright reason, the important thing is to encourage these people outside the country, can contribute to the development of their hometown, and even make contributions.

After eating, Xu Li drove the car over, put some gifts in the trunk, and entered the county seat.

Zeng Yi and Shao Haibo are both people who grew up in Baima County, and it is rare to come back once, but now that they are back, they naturally want to visit some good friends and old acquaintances who have not been seen for a long time. This time they went to the city, mainly to see a few teachers from the county middle school when they were in school.

Before getting into the car, Shao Haibo brought an extra 10,000 yuan in cash, this money was to deal with the friendship tea party, he was the president of the provincial people's institute in another province, and it was impossible to bring any projects to Baima County, and when the time came, he took out this 10,000 yuan, and said that he was a light talker, low power, and could not help his hometown.

This is also the choice of many people, with limited ability, 120,000, and large ability, 108,000, or even hundreds of thousands. The main thing is to spend money to buy a clean one, so as not to bother the officials of Baima County usually, and their business outside is going smoothly, if you want to invest in your hometown, the risk is very high, and once the project fails, it is not this little money that will be lost.

After visiting the teachers who went to school, the time was almost up, and Xu Li drove Shao Haibo to the county party committee in Baima County.

Standing at the door in charge of reception, Zheng Nengfu, who was officially in charge of the day, saw a luxury off-road coming from afar, and said in his heart, who is this, driving such a generous car, the price of this car, I am afraid that it is up to one-tenth of the income of the whole county of Baima County, maybe it will be higher.

Thinking so, Zheng Nengfu took two steps forward, with a smile on his face, ready to greet the distinguished guests.

The car stopped steadily in front of Zheng Nengfu, Xu Li got down from the driver's seat, looked at the wolf, swept around, and then reached out to open the rear seat door.

Zheng Nengfu said in his heart, what a big show! This driver knows that it is not easy to mess with at a glance, and that look makes people daunted at a glance.

As soon as the car door opened, he stretched out his hand and greeted him with a smile, but when he saw Shao Haibo sitting in the car clearly, Zheng Nengfu was very surprised, to be honest, he was just coping with errands, and he didn't attach much importance to it, because although Shao Haibo's level was high, it was from another province after all, and it was in a unit like a hospital, which was not a serious government sequence.

If Shao Haibo is a cadre with real power in this province, then the person who sent the invitation today may be the director of the office of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, or even the secretary of the county magistrate, and it cannot be just Zheng Nengfu, the deputy director of the county government office.

"Dean Shao, you're here!" After Zheng Nengfu stretched out, his waist bent down a little, and his tone was full of eagerness: "Welcome, welcome!" ”

Sure enough, it was a person who relied on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and when he saw the luxury car, Zheng Nengfu immediately changed his mouth with honorifics.

"White Horse is my hometown, Director Zheng is so polite to see the outside, don't treat me as a White Horse person?" Shao Haibo laughed and made a joke.

"Where, where!" Zheng Nengfu hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "To tell the truth, I don't regard Dean Shao as a guest at all, in my heart, I treat Dean Shao as a relative." When relatives come, how can they not be grandly received! ”、

Shao Haibo laughed, this Zheng Nengfu can really talk nonsense! He came over today, and he couldn't help but come, he was working in the field, but his family was still in Baima County after all.

Zeng Yi also got out of the car at this time, glanced left and right, and said, "Senior brother, I am walking around the county with Xu Li, and when the matter is over on your side, call me." ”

Shao Haibo nodded and said, "Okay!" Arrange it yourself! ”

Zheng Nengfu saw that Zeng Yi was a little pretentious, so he asked, "Dean Shao, is this ......?"

"It's my junior brother, who is also working in Nanjiang, and this time I'll come back together for the New Year." Shao Haibo made an introduction.

Zheng Nengfu stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is also our White Horse people, I didn't ask where Gao ...... is."

Before he finished speaking, the phone in Zeng Yi's hand rang, he looked down at the number, and made an apologetic gesture, "I'm sorry, it's rude!" As he spoke, Zeng Yi walked a few steps to the side before picking up the phone.

Zheng Nengfu was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the hand he stretched out changed into a gesture of invitation, and said, "Dean Shao, then let's go in first, and I'll show you the way!" ”

Zheng Nengfu smiled, but he was very angry in his heart, Lao Tzu was just looking at Dean Shao's face, and he was polite to you, but you kid was pretending to be like Lao Tzu's face, you wait, don't let me know who you are!

Thinking so, this Nengfu walked forward, and as soon as he took a step, Xu Li next to him stretched out an arm and stamped it in front of Zheng Nengfu, and at the same time stared at Zheng Nengfu with cold eyes, the meaning was obvious: Please wait, step back, and don't disturb the leader's call.

Horses'!

What kind of garlic are you kidding, are you the county magistrate, or the mayor, and you want me to stand here and wait for you to finish your call.

Zheng Nengfu's face was red and purple at that time, and he couldn't help but go crazy. But when he looked to the side, he immediately dispelled this idea, because he saw Shao Haibo standing aside with a smile on his face, not angry, but standing there very willingly, waiting for his "junior brother" to finish the call.

A person who can be a person in the county government, Zheng Nengfu is naturally not a fool, he understands the meaning of this, Shao Haibo's junior brother, I am afraid that it is not shallow.

Although the president of the Provincial People's Institute does not have much power, but the energy is not small, Zheng Nengfu also accompanied the county magistrate to the province to see a doctor, and has seen the style of the president of the Provincial People's Academy, not to mention the county magistrate, even the ordinary prefecture-level mayor in the past, and may not be able to mobilize people.

Thinking about this, Zheng Nengfu stood honestly and waited, God knows what the origin of Shao Haibo's junior brother is.

Zeng Yi quickly finished the call, walked back with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, I have an important call that must be answered just now, if there is anything rude, please bear with Director Zheng!" Saying that, Zeng Yi stretched out his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Zheng Nengfu also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "This is out of sight, understandable, understandable." ”

Saying that, Zheng Nengfu looked sideways at Shao Haibo: "Dean Shao, since they are all from Baima, I think let's go in together, there are more people and lively, I am saying, this big night, there is nothing to turn in the county." He was very smart and sent an invitation directly to Shao Haibo, so as not to be flashed.

Shao Haibo thought for a while and said, "If it's not troublesome, then of course it's good!" ”

"It's not troublesome, it's more troublesome!" Zheng Nengfu said repeatedly, "This tea party was originally prepared by you white horse people who work outside, please don't invite it, we will be in trouble!" ”

Hao Haibo said to Zeng Yi: "Then let's go in together, when it's over, it will save me from looking for you!" ”

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "Listen to Senior Brother!" ”

Xu Li parked the car, and the three of them followed Zheng Nengfu and walked inside.

Shao Haibo asked in a low voice at this time, "Xiao Yi, is there anything wrong?" Shao Haibo understands Zeng Yi's character, if it wasn't for a very important phone call, he would never be so rude.

Zeng Yi said: "It's okay! It's a friend in the capital, please eat! ”

Zhang Jiexiong who called, Zhang Jiexiong because of his special identity, he would not easily call outsiders, so Zeng Yi was a little nervous, thinking that something was going on with the old man, and he only knew that it was okay when he picked it up, it was Zhang Jiexiong who took advantage of the effort to repay the old man's physical condition, and said a few words of New Year's greetings to Zeng Yi.

Zheng Nengfu, who was walking in front, heard what Zeng Yi said clearly, but he heard the word "Beijing", and he was surprised and happy in his heart, he was really lucky today and picked up a treasure.

When I entered the banquet hall of the county party committee, there were already seven or eight tables set up in it. It is a large table that can accommodate more than 10 people, with melon seeds and snacks and drinks on it, and a giant colored cloth hanging behind it, which reads "Baima County's New Year Friendship Tea Party for Famous Personalities and Successful Entrepreneurs." ”

Shao Haibo came a little late, and there were already many people sitting at the scene, chatting enthusiastically there.

The county magistrate of Baima County is called Wang Sijie, who entertained the guests in front, and when he saw Zheng Nengfu coming in, he glanced at him, so he accused the surrounding guests and hurriedly greeted him.

Zheng Nengfu preemptively introduced: "Let me introduce, this IES Nanjiang Provincial People's Hospital Director Shao Haibo Shao!" This is Comrade Wang Sijie, the county magistrate of Baima County! ”

"Dean Shao, welcome!" Wang Sijie smiled and stretched out his hand, "Dean Shao can come over today, our tea party can be described as brilliant." ”

Shao Haibo laughed and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, as a White Horse, I haven't made any of the above contributions to White Horse!" ”

Wang Sijie raised his hand and said, "Dean Shao, please, I will introduce you to a few other outstanding people from our White Horse!" ”

Seeing Wang Sijie lead Shao Haibo to the innermost table, Zheng Nengfu arranged Zeng Yi and Xu Li to sit down at another empty table, and then asked the staff to put melon seed drinks, and said: "The two of you sit first, I will be absent for a while, and when I finish receiving the guests, I will definitely come over and have a good chat with the two of you." ”

Zeng Yi raised his hand and smiled: "Director Zheng is busy first!" ”

In less than a while, many people arrived one after another, and Zeng Yi began to sit at the table, introducing themselves to each other, and then inquiring about the other people's origins. The tea party is not necessarily an important outreach work in Baiba County, but also a good opportunity for these people to get to know each other and communicate with each other.

At Zeng Yi's table, all the people sitting at this table are businessmen, some are contractors, some are building materials and home furnishings, some are opening hotels and restaurants, and some are making leather shoes and clothing, but most of them are active in the coastal area, and some are in the provincial capital.

"This brother's surname, may I ask what kind of work you do, where is your high school?" Someone asked Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi smiled and said: "Don't be expensive, my surname is Zeng, I work in Baiyang High-tech Park in Nanjiang Province." ”

Everyone suddenly had little interest, because everyone couldn't leave Nanjiang early, and it was useless to care about Nanjiang's affairs; In one, Zeng Yi is so young, even if he works in a government unit, he will never be the leader in charge, and it doesn't matter if he knows him or not.

When everyone was almost there, the door of the banquet was wide open, and Kong Fanjin, secretary of the Baima County Party Committee, walked in with a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eight, followed by a group of people, who seemed to be members of the four sets of teams in Baima County.

Kong Fanjin came in, smiled and arched his hand in all directions, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a New Year's greeting for everyone!" ”

In the enthusiastic response, everyone went to the innermost first table, and some who were not qualified enough sat in the other seats.

Zheng Nengfu took a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen to Zeng Yi's table at this time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you just sit at this table!" ”

The middle-aged man sat down with a grin, stretched out his hand to clench his fists, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Luo Guojian has given everyone a New Year's greeting, make a fortune!"

This stretched out his hand, and the eight bright gold rings on his two hands shook everyone's eyes, and when he handed over the business card, it turned out that this Luo Guojian was doing road construction.

Everyone took the business card, and they all smiled and put it away, and didn't say anything to Luo Guojian, many of the people here are outburst households, but the strange thing is that the nouveau riche crime is not a type of person who does not want to deal with it, but it is the nouveau riche.

Zheng Nengfu found a chair at this time, sat at the table, and said with a smile: "My task today is to entertain you well, if you need anything, just tell me!" ”

Luo Guojian happened to be sitting next to Zeng Yi, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and asked, "This brother, where did you get rich?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled: "Nanjiang! ”

"Nanjiang is a good place, we Lao Luo has been there, there are so many fucking beautiful girls, and they are very prodigal, oops, the white flowers are ......"

Luo Guojian said here, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he knew that the occasion for his speech was not right, haha smiled, reached out to put his arm around Zeng Yi's shoulder, patted it affectionately twice, and said: "Brother, if there is any way to make a fortune in Nanjiang, don't forget our old Luo!" Our Lao Luo is a kind person, do you have a fortune, and you must not lose your own people when you make money! ”

Xu Li's hand was on the table, and as long as Zeng Yi frowned, he would take this Luo Guojian out.

Zeng Yi smiled faintly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

Luo Guojian resolved this embarrassment by himself, let go of Zeng Yi, and asked the person at the table: "When I came in just now, I saw that there was a car parked at the door, it was really fucking energetic, Nan aaaaa, just drag!" Do you know whose car it is? I'm going to ask him to buy it, and I'm sure I'll be majestic when I drive it out! ”

Everyone is laughing, Nan aaaaa, that must be Nanjiang's car, there is a Nanjiang person sitting next to you, asking us what we are doing! This Luo Guojian doesn't know what the way is, his idea is really naïve, how can that kind of number be bought with money?

However, everyone is also very strange, when did Baima County have such a powerful character who can eat so well in Nanjiang Province, they have never heard of it before!

Luo Guojian came back to his senses, pushed Zeng Yi again, and shouted loudly: "Brother, aren't you messing around in Nanjiang, do you know?" (To be continued.) ）
