Chapter 422: Meeting
Xu Yi, accompanied by Peng Shuangda, actually took a boat back to the hotel in Meiqu Village to pick up his luggage, which was actually a passport and wallet.
The two had a hastily lunch in Meiqu Village, and then set off for Manganese Wax.
The driver was a soldier who was very familiar with Peng Shuangda, and later learned that it was actually Fang Yan's grandfather Fang Limin's driver, which made Xu Yi immediately realize that Fang Limin attached great importance to this meeting.
The road to manganese wax is very difficult to walk, not to mention the bumpy and uneven road around the mountain, Xu Yi almost didn't sleep all night, even if he cultivated to a high level, he was a little tired, plus the jeep shook and fell asleep in the car unconsciously.
By the time Xu Yi woke up, the sky had darkened, and the road had become much smoother, and Peng Shuangda's voice sounded in his ears, "Xiao Yuan, wake up?" ”
"Has Uncle Da arrived at Manganese Wax?"
Xu Yi twisted his neck, nodded, and looked through the windshield, and saw a dense crowd of houses not far ahead, like a town, and it was the capital of the Fourth Special District.
"Well, that's it."
Peng Shuangda nodded, "The conditions of our Fourth Special Economic Zone are very poor, and it is the most backward among the several SAR governments. ”
"However, the chairman has done his best, and he is not yet sixty years old, and he is already full of gray hair. For the sake of the nearly 100,000 people of the Fourth Special District. He's exhausted. ”
"Yes. Governing the country is not as simple as it seems. ”
Xu Yi smiled, nodded, took the cigarette handed over by Peng Shuangda and lit it and took a puff, "Although there are not many of you here, the conditions here are too difficult, not to mention the inconvenient transportation, and there are no resources." Don't even think about any jadeite mines, any mahogany, or anything like that. ”
"If you want to develop a place like this, it's not something that ordinary people can do."
"Yes, yes, the chairman has done his best to get this far." Peng Shuangda suddenly felt like a confidant to Xu Yisheng, "I think you will definitely be able to become a friend with him." ”
"I also want to hear the teachings of the old man."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded, and took a puff of his cigarette, "His old man can run the Fourth Special Region like this, it can be said that he is a genius, and this is also a blessing for the people of the Fourth Special Zone." ”
"I'm sure there will be a lot of talk between you." Peng Shuangda grinned. His phone rang suddenly, and he pulled it out and looked at it. Immediately connected to the phone, "Chairman, we will be there soon, and we will be at the government compound in a few minutes." ”
Xu Yi turned his head to look out the window, although the development of manganese wax is not as good as some small towns in China, but the scale is about the same as a small county town, looking from a distance, you can see a faint house, the buildings are a little messy, but for northern Myanmar, it is far from the time to think about town planning.
At present, among the four special administrative regions, only the fourth special administrative region is the weakest, with the smallest territory and the smallest population under its jurisdiction, and the fourth special region has one thing very special compared with several other special regional governments, that is, most of the middle and high-level management leaders of their special economic zone governments are Han Chinese, or Han people who have come from the country.
"Okay, the SAR government is ahead."
Peng Shuangda rolled down the window, threw the cigarette butt off his finger, and stretched out his hand to point not far ahead, "However, let's go eat first, I know you must be hungry." ”
"Uncle Da, look at the arrangement."
Xu Yi smiled, "However, I'm really a little hungry when you say that." ”
"The house is ready."
Peng Shuangda smiled and instructed the driver, "Go back to the government compound directly." ”
The driver agreed, stepped lightly, the jeep slowly drove forward, and after a while, it drove straight into a large courtyard, Peng Shuangda owed to help Xu Yi push open the car door, "Xiao Yuan, it's here, this is the SAR government compound of our Fourth Special Administrative Region, how about it, it's not much better than a small township in your mainland, right?" ”
Xu got out of the car and looked at the courtyard, where the trees were shady, and the bungalows were hidden in the shade, and the buildings here were similar to those in southern Yunnan, without so many round roofs and the like, which made Xu Yi feel a sense of closeness from his heart.
In the past few years, I have seen a lot of the round roof buildings of the West, and suddenly I saw the tiled houses here, and my heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
"Uncle Da, your SAR government compound is indeed similar to the government compound of a township in our place, but this area is much larger."
Xu Yi smiled, understanding that when Peng Shuangda spoke, he deliberately highlighted the intention of the two words you, obviously reminding himself that although everyone is Han Chinese, their current positions are different, so it is normal to see something unreasonable.
As he spoke, a burst of footsteps sounded, and he saw a spirited old man smiling and greeting him, the old man's hair was neatly combed, and his eyes were bright and seemed to be able to see people's hearts at a glance.
"Yuan Yi, let me introduce to you, this is Fang Limin, the chairman of our Fourth Special Administrative Region Government."
Peng Shuangda immediately greeted him with a smile and nodded to the old man, "Chairman, this little guy is the Yuan Yi I mentioned to you." ”
"Hello, Chairman Fang."
Xu Yi smiled and bowed slightly to Fang Limin, Fang Limin smiled, took a step forward, took the initiative to reach out and hold Xu Yi's hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, hello, hello, I have heard Shuangda mention your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet with you and have a good talk for a day, and today I finally got what I wanted." ”
"By the way, don't call me the chairman, my so-called chairman is not as good as your township chief."
"Old man, you have won the award, how can these deeds you do be comparable to those big-bellied vulgar officials?" Xu Yi smiled and shook Fang Limin's hand, "Such a large Fourth Special Zone has been created from scratch, from its existence to the current scale, to ensure the safety of the people, and in fact, ordinary people can do it?" ”
"Xiao Yuan, you, you, your mouth is really too powerful, it makes me, an old man, flutter, I haven't felt this way for many years."
Fang Limin smiled, raised his right hand slightly, and asked Xu Yi to go first, "I have prepared a glass of thin wine, let's talk while drinking." ”
Peng Shuangda was also dumbfounded, staring at Xu Yi's back in a daze, he really didn't expect that this kid was actually a master of slapping horses, he could see that the chairman was very happy today, not perfunctory happiness, but happiness from the bottom of his heart.
The table was full of dishes, and the air was filled with a rich aroma, but these dishes were not special dishes that you never tired of eating, but very ordinary home-cooked dishes.
"Xiao Yuan, you know that the conditions on our side are not good, so you can only settle for a while."
Fang Limin warmly invited Xu Yi to sit at the table, and turned his eyes to Peng Shuangda, "By the way, Shuangda, don't you still have a bottle of good wine there, hurry up and take it out." ”
"Chairman, the doctor has repeatedly told you that your body can't drink."
Peng Shuangda showed a wry smile on his face, "Ming'er, I'll just accompany Brother Yuan for a drink." ”
"Go, go, get it, how can there be so much nonsense."
Fang Limin scolded with a smile and waved his hand, "Are you kid afraid that I will remember your good wine, okay, I'll get you a bottle of good wine another day, okay?" ”
"Alright, alright, Chairman, I'll go get the wine."
Peng Shuangda nodded helplessly, "However, you can only have a small cup!" ”
"Okay, then listen to you and have a small drink."
Fang Limin laughed and waved his hand, "Okay, go get it, don't be long-winded, you really have a temper with Xiaoyan, you really deserve to be a master and apprentice, even this long-winded temper is the same." ”
Xu Yi didn't speak, he looked at this scene quietly, and could see that the two of them were not pretentious, but showed their true feelings, and carefully glanced at Fang Limin, "Old man, is there something wrong with your liver, and your blood pressure is a little high?" ”
"Yes, you still know how to see a doctor?"
Fang Limin was stunned when he heard this, liver disease depends on maintenance, and in the past few years, according to the doctor's instructions, he has been recuperated a lot, and he didn't expect to be seen at a glance.
"Old man, I guess Uncle Da told you that I have been learning the Tao for more than 20 years."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded, "I also learned a little bit of Chinese medicine, if you can rest assured, I'll give you a pulse in a while, right?" ”
"Okay, okay, old man, thank you first."
Fang Limin smiled, "After Shuangda came back from Mandalay last time, he talked to me about you, and he said that you have some ideas about doing economic work, and I want to know how our Fourth Special Zone should develop?" ”
"Old man, Uncle Da is lifting me, where do I know what economic work is." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, "However, there is one thing I want to admit to your old man, in fact, my original name is not Yuan Yi." ”
"Needless to say, it doesn't matter what your name is, what I fancy is your talent and your person."
Fang Limin smiled and shook his head, "Moreover, it doesn't matter if you have a girlfriend or a wife, a man on our side can have several wives, as long as you can afford them, you have to follow the customs when you enter the countryside, besides, your name Yuan Yi is not married, right?" ”
Is that okay too? Xu Yi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, what does Fang Limin mean by this, they just met, and after only a few minutes of talking, he decided to marry his granddaughter to himself?
Is it really just his own ability, or does he already know his identity? (To be continued......)
