Recently, Yao Ze has been sleeping next to bed, and he always has the same dream, the dark space, the strange old man of the doctor, and some inexplicable wonderful words, which make Yao Ze feel very mysterious, and it is similar to the dream when he was injured and unconscious.

Yao Ze is a party member, belongs to the atheist, and never believes in ghosts and gods, but this dream is too bizarre, every day is dreaming of the same thing, more than once or twice, then it is not as simple as a coincidence.

Yao Ze still decided to go to the small clinic in Li Meilian's community to meet the weird old doctor for a while, and he had the same dream every day, could he not have lowered his head?

While thinking about it, there was a gentle knock on the office door, Yao Ze came back to his senses, put down the pen in his hand, and then sat up straight, and said, "Please come in." ”

Secretary Xiao Qin gently pushed the door open, and said to Yao Ze with a respectful look: "County Magistrate Yao, the director of the China Merchants Bureau said that there are some things to report to you, and you ......"

"Let him in." Yao Ze had some images of this director of the China Merchants Bureau, and when he was transferred to the county, the director of the China Merchants Bureau came to 'visit' him, he was relatively tall, with a fat head and big ears, but he couldn't find fault with his words and deeds, and he belonged to the type of exquisite people on all sides.

Yao Ze was thinking about it, the director of the China Merchants Bureau had already walked in with a smile on his face, although he was tall, fat and big-eared, but he walked lightly, probably wanting to lower his posture in front of the leader, to give the leader a good image, "County Magistrate Yao, I'm really sorry, I didn't disturb your work?" ”

Yao Ze smiled and waved his hand, and said with a kind face: "Don't bother anything, isn't my job just to serve you, I don't know what happened to Director Zhou coming over today?" At this time, Xiao Qin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Shenming, and added some hot water to Yao Ze's cup before quietly withdrawing.

Seeing Xiao Qin close the office door, Zhou Shenming stood up with a sad face, handed Yao Ze a cigarette, and then took out a lighter to help Yao Ze light a cigarette, Yao Ze smiled and said, "I have a lighter here, Director Zhou doesn't have to be so polite." As he spoke, Yao Ze lit a cigarette.

Zhou Shenming smiled stupidly, retreated to the sofa opposite and sat down, then lit a cigarette for himself, and after taking a light puff, he sighed and said a little depressedly: "County Magistrate Yao, I, the director of the China Merchants Bureau, are so aggrieved!" ”

Seeing Zhou Shenming's miserable expression, Yao Ze probably guessed his intention, China Merchants has been applying for an investment fee recently, which is used to attract investment, but it has been rejected several times, on the grounds that the funds have been arranged due to financial constraints and cannot be misappropriated casually.

For this kind of perfunctory words, Zhou Shenming naturally wouldn't believe it, so he found the secretary Guo Shouyi, Guo Shouyi was defeated by Yao Ze and the county magistrate Li Changan during this time, and he was holding back the nameless fire in his heart, what is the difference between Zhou Shenming complaining and adding fuel to the fire, after listening to Zhou Shenming's complaining words, Guo Shouyi turned his face on the spot, angrily scolded Zhou Shenming for not being conscious, not doing business, thinking about exploiting the government all day long, asking for money, what else can he do in his mind except money?

Zhou Shenming's face turned blue when he was reprimanded by Guo Shouyi, and he trembled with anger, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and he thought indignantly, can China Merchants have no money to carry out work? How can you attract investment without money, and what can you do without attracting investment?

But these words Zhou Shenming just want to think, in front of Guo Shouyi, the grumpy secretary, he never dared to say it, after being reprimanded by Guo Shouyi, he withdrew from the secretary's office in a gloomy manner, and he left like this, but he was really aggrieved in his heart, thinking that Li Changan and Yao Ze were not on the same page as Guo Shouyi, so he ran to Li Changan's side to spit out bitterness, and after being comforted by Li Changan, Zhou Shenming immediately came to Yao Ze's side again, saying the same thing that complained about Li Chang'an just now.

"Director Zhou, why are you the director of the China Merchants Bureau so aggrieved, let's hear it." Yao Ze took a puff of cigarette, then took a sip of tea from his cup, with a smile on his face, and asked Zhou Shenming with interest.

"County Magistrate Yao, what do you say is the focus of our China Merchants Bureau? Isn't it to help the government attract investment and attract more foreign investors to invest in our county? ”

Yao Ze smiled and nodded, "This is understandable, but what does it have to do with your governor's grievances?" ”

Zhou Shenming said: "Investment promotion needs to be funded, the bureau is now a little tight, I want to apply to the government for a sum of money, as a way to attract investment, but the Finance Bureau is shirked for various reasons, Yao County Magistrate, you say, are for the country to do things, all want to get our county's economy up, I applied for this money and not into their own pockets, how can I not get support, I want to do my best for the government, but the government does not give me support, how can I carry out my work." ”

Seeing Zhou Shenming talking, his face was flushed, and his heart was very resentful, Yao Ze smiled and said, "Director Zhou, dissipate your anger and drink tea first." ”

Zhou Shenming felt that he was a little out of shape, so he smiled stupidly, his face softened a little, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm really sorry to let County Magistrate Yao listen to my big complaints." ”

"Director Zhou's activity funds are not enough, and it is understandable to apply for funds from the government, but the financial department has arranged every amount of money that the government needs, and suddenly apply for a fund from them, which is really a bit tricky for them, so let's do it, Director Zhou, you go back first, do your job well these days, if your China Merchants Bureau can attract investors to our county, I will discuss with the secretary and county magistrate about the money you applyed, and try to cooperate with your work."

Seeing Yao Ze agreeing so readily, Zhou Shenming was a little surprised, and after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly had a look in his eyes again, and thanked happily again and again: "County Magistrate Yao, thank you so much, thank you for your support." ”

Yao Ze smiled, "Don't thank you too early, I just said that there is nothing wrong with applying for money, but this money must be used on the blade, if you can recruit investors from other places, this amount will naturally be fine, but if you can't recruit it, then I won't count today." ”

"Cheng, Cheng, no problem." Zhou Shenming smiled and nodded, some time ago Zhou Shenming went to the city for a meeting, and happened to meet a famous real estate developer, saying that he had the opportunity to invest in Tangshan County to open a factory, Zhou Shenming of course couldn't ask for it, so the two sides left each other's phone numbers, during this time Zhou Shenming has been in touch with the businessman, today I listened to Yao Ze's assurance, Zhou Shenming thought to himself, after going back, I will work harder, and strive to get this businessman to the county to open a factory.

After Zhou Shenming left, Yao Ze went to Li Changan's office to exchange views with Li Changan, and the two agreed that as long as it could really bring investment to the county, the matter of money was a trivial matter.

After getting off work, Yao Ze stopped Xiang Chengdong from sending him back to the guest house, and he hailed a taxi on the side of the road and went to Li Meixi's community.

With the image, Yao Ze found the small clinic that treated Li Meilian's foot injury at the beginning, "Is anyone there?" Yao Ze cautiously walked in and shouted.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right here." A man's voice came from inside, and after a while, the curtain of the room in the small clinic was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a white coat walked out, looked at Yao Ze, and said with a smile: "Where is Mr. uncomfortable?" ”

Yao Ze stretched out his hand to hand over the cigarette, and the doctor hurriedly waved his hand and said that he would not smoke, so Yao Ze lit one for himself, and then went around the small clinic and said with a smile: "I'm not here to get sick, are you alone here?" ”

"yes, it's just me, what's the matter?" The doctor looked at Yao Ze with a puzzled look.

"Don't you have a ...... here" Yao Ze didn't know how to describe the strange doctor, thought about it, and said directly: "Isn't this clinic opened by an old man?" ”

"The old man? Do you mean Mr. Fan? ”

"I don't know if his surname is Fan, he treated his foot injury here some time ago, and he treated it, it seems that there was no you at that time!" Yao Ze said.

"You're talking about Mr. Fan, that's right." Hearing Yao Ze say this, the man laughed, "Old Fan is very skilled, I don't know what you are looking for him, he left some time ago." ”

"Left?" Yao Ze's face was weird, could it be that dream was real?

"Does he have ...... Is there anything left behind? Yao Ze asked a little nervously.

The middle-aged doctor looked at Yao Ze vigilantly and asked aloud, "Who are you and what is your name?" ”

"You don't need to know who I am, I don't have many names to tell you, my name is Yao Ze, and the old gentleman didn't leave anything behind before leaving?" Yao Ze asked again.

If I hadn't had that dream, this kind of questioning would have been a bit weird, and I didn't know the old man at all, and it would have been a bit funny to ask if someone had anything left for me.

"Are you really Yao Ze?" The middle-aged doctor looked at Yao Zelai carefully, and after half a ring, he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring your ID card." ”

"Is there really something for yourself? That's too mysterious, isn't it? Yao Ze sighed in his heart, took out his wallet from his purse, and then took out his ID card from the wallet and handed it to the middle-aged doctor.

After the middle-aged doctor carefully looked at the appearance of the ID card and Yao Ze's appearance, and confirmed that the young man in front of him was Yao Ze, he nodded with a smile and returned the ID card to Yao Ze, and said apologetically; "I'm really sorry, Mr. Fan repeatedly told him before leaving, only Yao Ze himself can take out the things, you wait here, I'll go get it for you right away."

After speaking, the middle-aged doctor walked into the house again, and after a while, the middle-aged doctor walked out holding an antique sandalwood box, and then carefully handed it to Yao Zedao: "This is what Mr. Fan left, give it to you." ”

Yao Ze stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw that the box was locked, he asked, "Don't you have a key?" ”

The middle-aged doctor shook his head, "He didn't give me the key, he just told me to give you the box." ”

"It's weird." Yao Ze thought to himself what was going on with giving himself this quaint box, but not giving him the key to unlock the lock.

"Did the old gentleman leave anything before he left?" Yao Ze held the box in his hand and continued to ask.

The middle-aged doctor replied: "Mr. Fan just explained before leaving, if you can go out of the market in the future, you can open the second box." ”

"Out of the market?" Yao Ze was confused and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't know about this, I'm just passing on his old man's exact words."

Yao Ze had too many questions in his heart, but he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him must not know anything, so he didn't plan to ask any more, for the sake of insurance, Yao Ze asked the relationship between the middle-aged man and the old man, the middle-aged doctor smiled and said that he was seriously ill back then, and Mr. Fan cured his strange disease, and also taught him a little medical skills.

Leaving the clinic with a heavy heart, Yao Ze walked towards Li Meilian's unit building.
