Chapter 220: Another Year (5) Hometown
218γ
Qi Na also thought about arranging accommodation for Emily and the driver at night, but Li Wenwen, Jian Ning, and Fan Ning were uninvited.
Fan Ning received the news from Li Wenwen and arranged accommodation early. In the Bentley, Li Wenwen mentioned that her alma mater invited Qi Na to participate in the Spring Festival party of well-known alumni to be held tomorrow.
Qi Na shook his head and said, "I'm going to the Beipo Town Development Zone, I don't have time." I will go home in the afternoon, make an appointment with Wang Kangmin the morning after tomorrow, and return to Ningnan at noon. β
Emily said, "Alex, why rush so much, stagger two hours to show up!" Give your teachers a long face, too. β
Qi Na still shook his head: "There is no time." β
Qi Na received a report on the progress of the work in Qiao Wenming's development zone, and it seemed that the progress of the work was slow, and he wanted to know the actual situation. After all, the data center construction period is too rushed, and the overall construction must be completed in June and the equipment deployment will be completed in August, and not a single day can be wasted.
Qi Na suddenly asked about Jian Ning's body, and Jian Ning smiled slightly: "It's very good, it's just recuperating." β
Qi Na said: "I'll arrange a job for you, give me a body camera, can you do it?" β
Not only was Jian Ning stunned, but the others were also very strange, asking what did Qi Na mean?
Qi Na asked her to go to Beipo Town every day and take photos of the progress of the project she saw and send him photos.
"Oh!" Fanning immediately vetoed: "The road to the north slope is not easy to walk, you have to break Xiao Jane's bones once a day." β
"No, I can!" Jane Ning agreed!
Li Wenwen sighed loudly and persuaded Jian Ning to take care of her health.
Jian Ning shook his head and said, "I don't have to go over every day, I can live over there, write papers and do research while completing Qi Na's requirements!" β
Here's the way. Qi Na agreed, and said: "I will arrange a car for you, Emily, you will implement it, and then Wang Kangmin will match a driver, even if you accompany you in a daze in Beipo Town every day, and return to the county seat at any time if you have something." β
"No, I can drive, my mother can drive," Jian Ning said: "I will take care of my own, the feng shui of the north slope is good, and I can cultivate in the past." β
Chena agreed, and asked Emily again to arrange the rest.
The driver went back to the room alone to rest, but the three female classmates were reluctant to leave, Emily was secretly dissatisfied in her heart, and it was easy to have the opportunity to be alone with Qi Na, but she was disturbed by them, but she didn't dare to show it, so Qi Na simply accompanied them to the street.
On the night of the sixth day of the new year, the town of Asakawa County was already lively, and the bustle of setting up stalls was not lively.
It was the first time Emily had come to such a small inland county, and she was quite curious.
There are also people on the roadside in the small town who ride tricycles and sell pirated books, and there are more stalls selling cheap daily necessities or low-quality children's toys.
After walking a few hundred meters, Emily got tired of seeing. But Fan Ning, Jian Ning and Li Wenwen are full of interest, for them, this is a reunion after a long absence.
Emily saw a tea house on the side of the road, so she shouted to go in to rest, Li Wenwen said: "There are small fried grilled squid, iron plate squid in front, a lot of snacks, let's go get some snacks, eat and chat while resting." β
Hearing them say little fried, Qi Na also drooled, this is his favorite local snack. This snack is more popular in the local area and several surrounding areas, an oil pot that has been burned for many days in the road, after it is heated, the meat skewers, dried bean curd skewers, small fish, put in it and fry, fried through the sprinkled sauce, can be spicy, although the taste may not be excellent, but it definitely belongs to the taste of the small town.
The small fried shops are all dragged by a tricycle, separated by glass in a small kitchen, surrounded by a few small tables and small benches, diners gather around the glass of the tricycle, order the skewers they want, give money, and then wait for the oil to be fried.
Emily looked funny, and although she was a little afraid of the color of the pan of oil, it should not hurt to think about it once in a while. So I also ordered a bunch of food.
The stall owner immediately smiled, although the business was prosperous today, but these five people pushed the business to another height.
The small fried food actually ordered 200 yuan, which made the people around it stunned, and the locals spent three or five yuan on this thing, and they died for eight or nine yuan to taste it, and the rich people would not eat it, and if they wanted to eat, they would go to KFC.
Although the town is small, it already has a KFC, and it can be regarded as catching up with a bit of urban trends.
They sat together, and Qi Na talked about the past when he used to eat small fried, and his favorite food was fragrant and dry, and the fried soy products were crispy and very delicious.
Fan Ning couldn't help but wonder, the four people she faced, Jian Ning was in Asakawa but didn't come out often, she only stayed at home to recuperate, and the others were not in Asaka, they only saw the comfort of snacks, where would they know the battle of wits and courage between the city managers and the stall vendors in the county town of Ludao, and the difficulties of the hawkers.
The owner of the fried shop sent the small fried ones one by one, and Li Wenwen introduced Emily, there are skewers in other places, and fried skewers are the king here.
As he was talking, the owner of the fried shop quarreled with someone: "They came early, and they fried a lot, of course they are prioritized!" β
Jian Ning glanced back at the frying car curiously, the boss lowered his head to fry the skewers, and a young man in his twenties was patting the glass and asking the boss to give an explanation.
The boss bowed his head and ignored him.
The young man was on fire, and reached out from the window to grab the fried skewers, and the boss slapped the young man on the hand and scolded a local foul language, and the young man became angry and scolded: "Fuck you." He stretched out his hand to push the frying car, and the people around him scattered in an instant, and the oil in the oil pan of the small fryer was boiling hot, and it was no joke to be splashed.
Jian Ning was closest to the oil pot, and hurriedly pointed at the young man and said, "What are you going to do?" β
The young man didn't hear it, and his mouth was still verbose: "I'm ****** a comparison." β
He scolded, and so did the boss.
For a while, the young man became more and more angry, and he was in charge of the people around him who persuaded him. Desperately trying to copy the frying stand.
Qi Na didn't want to ruin the fun, walked over, grabbed the young man, and said, "Dude, forget it, we're not in a hurry, you come first." β
He was tall and powerful, although it was winter, he was dressed in autumn clothes, showing extraordinary, and the young man was stunned for a moment, and he was held back by Qi Na.
The daughter-in-law of the owner of the fried stall also rushed over and said: "It's not easy for us to do a small business during the Chinese New Year, boss, don't be like us." Someone bowed his head and said soft words, and the matter was just like that.
But several of the young man's companions rushed out, pointed at the boss and scolded: "Little ***, dare to come to our brother and mess with him." β
Someone picked up a bench and was about to smash the tricycle, how could Qi Na sit idly by, stretched out his hand and grabbed the bench, and said: "New Year's Day, why bother!" It's not easy for him to do business, so let him make a step and give way. β
The man pulled over the bench and scolded Qi Na and smashed it over.
Qi Na was a little annoyed, he grabbed the bench again with his eyes and hands, and pushed it away hard, and this group of young people threw down the fried stall, turned around and screamed and rushed towards Qi Na, and the leader shouted: "Playing with our brothers, I can't get around you!" β
At this time, there were many onlookers around.
Although Emily is not worried that Qi Na will suffer, she will not let her boss fight alone, take out her mobile phone and dial 110, and then say to those young people: "There are many people, right?" I'll call the police now. Don't run. "After all, it is not appropriate for a dignified Internet company BOSS to fight with a ruffian ****, and it will cause jokes when it is rumored.
At this time, someone stood up from the crowd coldly and said, "Mr. Qi, don't worry. β
It was Qiao Wenming who spoke, holding a briefcase, and three or four policemen rushed over behind him, pointing at the young people who were causing trouble and shouting, don't run.
As soon as the young men saw that the momentum was not good, they turned around and ran, rushing away from the crowd of onlookers, and scattered.
Emily saw Qiao Wenming, so she said: "Why is the security in Asakawa so bad, there is such a thing during the New Year!" β
Qiao Wenming was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry to frighten Miss Emily." β
Qi Na waved his hand, and Fan Ning, Li Wenwen and others evacuated the crowd of onlookers. Then I heard someone in the crowd say, "Those boys deserve it." I don't know how thick the sky is every day, and I finally met my nemesis. β
"What's the origin of this big man, County Magistrate Qiao is so polite to him."
"I look familiar, I just don't remember."
Fanning said to Qi Na at this time: "After you came back in the afternoon, the county arranged police forces around your house, and the hotel where Emily stayed was also inspected in advance, and there were also police officers standing guard around. β
Li Wenwen obviously knew about this, only Jian Ning didn't know anything.
Emily said to Qiao Wenming: "Damn, you have completely mastered our trip." But I thought in my heart, it's good that I didn't have a warm relationship with Qi Na, otherwise they would all know the Tao.
Qiao Wenming explained to Qi Na embarrassedly: "Secretary Wang is afraid of accidents, so he specially arranged it, please don't mind Mr. Qi, just now I was afraid that Mr. Qi would be angry, we didn't show up at the beginning, and it was really wrong to stand up." β
Qi Na shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that I can't eat a little fried." β
Although the onlookers all dispersed, there were still a small number of people who were unrelentingly around.
Qiao Wenming hurriedly said: "There is a singing city in front, if Miss Emily doesn't dislike it, let's go over and sit down and sing two songs." β
Emily had long lost interest in the atmosphere of the small town, and when she heard the singing, she naturally welcomed it.
Qi Na said: "Forget it, I don't rest, and County Magistrate Qiao probably won't be able to rest either, no need, go back." β
Qiao Wenming was secretly moved in his heart, knowing that Qi Na was sympathetic to himself, and said that there was nothing wrong with him, Emily said: "County Magistrate Qiao, you are the police force arranged for Alex, we don't matter, you send Alex back, let's go and shout two sisters." β
Qiao Wenming saw Qi Na nodding, so he said okay.
He followed the beckoning car, picked up everyone, sent the four beauties to KTV, and then sent Qi Na home, and on the way he made an appointment with Qi Na. Wang Kangmin decided to go to the Beipo Town Development Zone with Qi Na in person tomorrow, and the mayor of Beipo Town and others will also be present to do an on-site meeting and solve problems on the spot. 100% meet the needs of Qi Na.
Qi Na smiled slightly and told Qiao Wenming about his arrangements for his classmate Jian Ning.
Qiao Wenming immediately said: "Then go to the town government office, and the daily use of cars will be arranged by the town government." β
Qi Na nodded and said yes, and mentioned the security and other issues in the county, today is the second time, and the first time is naturally Gu Jianzhong's hospitalization.
Qiao Wenming said that he would respond to Secretary Wang, and he himself tried to analyze that now a large number of people in the county go out to work, whether in the county or in the suburbs, so that there are left-behind children and teenagers, lack of discipline, and now the school is more about the promotion rate, and the lack of attention to left-behind children, on the other hand, the demolition in the suburbs and the county town has brought compensation for getting rich overnight, and a large number of people have huge funds in their hands, some are lost, and they are invested in leisure and entertainment, including gambling. The town is a humane society, and if something happens, you can always find a relationship, and the law will become an ornament, and there is no bottom line of morality.
Qi Na agreed with Qiao Wenming's statement, but still said: "Several large enterprises in Ningnan have come to further stimulate the local economic development, and the foreign population will continue to increase, if the current situation is now, then it will definitely deteriorate further in the future." I hope Secretary Wang can face up to this problem. β
Qi Na has humanistic feelings, but after all, it is beyond his ability, and at this point, it is already in place.
Early the next morning, Qi Na just ate the noodles cooked by his mother, stewed chicken legs, and stove cakes, Qiao Wenming was behind, and Wang Kangmin came over in front, with red envelopes to first greet Qi Na's parents, and then to Qi Na's grandparents.
The biggest official in the county came to pay New Year's greetings, which made the Qi family lively, and the small convoy also attracted many neighbors to watch.
Everyone said that the ancestors of the Qi family blessed it, and the ancestral tomb emitted green smoke, which was developed.
Wang Kangmin came over, and the small officials and officials in the neighborhood also came over to join in the fun, and the street directors also showed up.
After a lot of tossing, plus Qi's mother also left Wang Kangmin and Qiao Wenming to eat breakfast noodles, they didn't get in the car until nine o'clock and set off.
Beipo Town is named after the lake, Beipo Lake is known as the sixth largest freshwater lake, and the natural territory is not small, and entering the jurisdiction of Beipo Town, the sensitive Emily felt that the temperature was lower, which was because of the influence of the big lake.
She thought that this might be the key to this place in Qi Naxiang. In data centers, which consume a lot of electricity, a one-degree reduction in the outdoor temperature can save a lot of money on electricity bills. Of course, it would be more suitable if it was built on the plateau and outside the Saiwai, but this is not a resource for the current Qi Na, and the cost is too great for him to bear at all, and the northern slope of the Asagawa River is barely qualified, so he naturally chose here.
There is nothing important worth mentioning in Beipo Town, Qi Na's only worry is that there are still vegetables grown by farmers in the development zone, so he secretly said to Jian Ning: "It is estimated that they will not care about these vegetables, you come over next time, hire two people to count this situation, the compensation will be compensated to the farmers, we must do things with our conscience." β
Jian Ning nodded and said.
Towards the end of the inspection, Qi Na suddenly asked a question: "If I want to expand and double, will the town of North Slope meet our needs?" β
Although the Qilin Nest in Ningnan can meet the current development needs, once the military's procurement is implemented, the space of the Qilin Nest will definitely be insufficient, and the confidentiality will be poor, so he moved his mind to distribute part of the production capacity of the Qilin Wings to Beipo Town as a fixed production base for the military.
Of course, these are all to be kept secret for the time being, so Qi Na will not introduce much about this part.
The leaders of Beipo Town were stunned for a moment, and there was no reaction for a long time, Wang Kangmin was helpless, and he said a lot of clichΓ©s, Qi Na waved his hand and said to the leaders of Beipo Town: "Double, don't be in a hurry to answer my question, and then tell me after the investigation is clear, no, you contact Jian Ning." β
He had already arranged for Jian Ning to be his assistant in Asakawa. He also told Li Wenwen to understand Jian Ning's physical condition, in case there was anything wrong, he could not affect Jian Ning's cultivation.
However, Jian Ning said to Qi Na very seriously that he had no problem and thanked his old classmates.
In a simple word, she said with tears in her eyes.
In the afternoon, the leaders of Beipo Town desperately stayed with the secretary and county magistrate after eating dinner before leaving, but Wang Kangmin saw that Qi Na had no intention of staying, so he insisted on leaving.
Back in the county seat, Wang Kangmin insisted on setting up a banquet at the county party committee guest house to entertain Qi Na.
Qi Na broke up with Wang Kangmin at ten o'clock, Fan Ning sent Qi Na home, and suddenly said to Qi Na in the elevator: "Li Shuang****** ask me to bring you a message." I want to meet you. β
Li Shuang ******, that is a geography teacher, ten years ago in his thirties, but he is young, and fashionably dressed, is a group of half-grown boys in the eyes of the goddess, behind her often talk about her, but can make the students remember her is an accident, at noon, a group of ruffians came to the campus to bully a classmate, it happened that Li Shuang teacher passed, she picked up a brick and rushed over, to fight with the gang of ruffians, the scared ruffians fled, and then the classmates talked about her tone from frivolous to respectful.
Qi Na thought of those past events and the appearance of Teacher Li Shuang when he was young, and thought to himself, what can she do to find herself?
He said to Fanning: "If you need help, you can help, if you really can't do it, just find Qiao Wenming, and the general matter will not be so tricky, right?" β
Qi Na doesn't understand, she is already an assistant to the county magistrate, can't she handle such a trivial matter?
Fan Ning stopped talking, pondered for a moment, and said when the elevator door opened: "Qi Na, Teacher Li Shuang may want to borrow money." β
It turned out that Mr. Li Shuang mentioned that his son was in Beijing at the last class reunion, and he was going to sell the house in Asakawa and buy a house for his son as soon as possible.
Because of the Chinese New Year, some classmates wanted to organize a class reunion, met with her, and chatted to know that many classmates had been harassed by her, as if it was Mr. Li Shuang's son who talked about a partner, and half of the family came to buy a house, but now he regrets it, and wants the man to pay all, and the pressure has increased sharply in Mr. Li Shuang.
Now that Teacher Li Shuang wants to see Qi Na, Fan Ning feels that nine times out of ten he wants to borrow money.
Qi Na listened to this, then nodded and agreed to see Teacher Li Shuang.
Teacher Li Shuang sat in the tea house, it seemed that it had been a long time, and when he found Fan Ning and Qi Na, he was overjoyed.
Qi Na looked at Teacher Li Shuang but sighed with some emotion, he was not yet fifty years old, his hair was already half white, and his back was also rickety.
There is still the charm of a young woman back then.
Qi Na explained to Fan Ning, so as soon as they met, Fan Ning said: "******, Qi Na heard that you didn't have enough money to buy a house, so he said that he wanted to help you, I don't know if you have enough money to buy a house now?" β
He didn't want to see the appearance of a beautiful young woman teacher he admired back then, so he simply offered to give her money.
"Ahh Teacher Li Shuang looked surprised, and with surprise, he was completely panicked. She begged for many people, found how many students who seemed to be in a better financial situation, and suffered many blank eyes, but she did not change her stubbornness, so that her son could settle down in Beijing.
At this moment, it was the first time she encountered a student who offered to give her money, how not to make her excited and ashamed.
Qi Na followed: "******, I am relatively financially well-off, and I will definitely do it if I can help the teacher." β
Li Shuang hesitated for a moment, stretched out five fingers, and Qi Na was stunned, "500,000? β
She was anxious: "No, 50,000 is enough." β
She has already made up a lot, and it is enough to ask Qi Na for 50,000 yuan at this time.
Qi Na smiled and said, "Where is 50,000 yuan enough, there must have been friends urging you to pay back, and the decoration also costs money." He turned to Emily and said, "Go back to Ningnan and send 200,000 yuan from my account." β
Emily nodded. Take out your phone and record it in your work schedule to make sure you don't forget.
Li Shuang couldn't believe it, and there were some doubts in his heart, this student wouldn't be fooling me. She only heard that Qi Na had opened a company, and he must be financially well-off, so she expected it to be so generous. Fan Ning nodded at her, and Li Shuang breathed a sigh of relief: Fan Ning is a cadre in the county, so it should be no problem.
"******, ******, what a coincidence, you're here too!" A half-bald middle-aged man jumped over from the seat next to him and shouted to Teacher Li Shuang.
"Director Sun," Teacher Li Shuang didn't expect to meet the school's teaching director here.
Director Sun came over to greet Teacher Li Shuang enthusiastically, looked at the young people around her, and said, "These are all your students?!" "The expression is a look like I know the truth.
Li Shuangzhi said that he was despising himself for borrowing money from students, and nodded embarrassedly.
Director Sun said: "You see, among the students in the few classes when I was the head teacher, there were many people at this well-known alumni association!" β
He was very excited, it seemed that he had a bad benefit from this sorority. Said: "I said hello to a student who is the president of a bank, and I want to arrange for my Xiaoxiu to go to an internship, and then find a relationship to enter the main editor, and the bank is finally a good unit." β
He rubbed his hands, his face was red, he was very excited about this sorority, and couldn't help but say, "You have so many students, haven't you done this thing?" It seems that nine times out of ten, the students of those classes have average qualifications and are not enterprising. β
Li Shuang didn't want to respond to him, the harvest tonight was too big, she always let go of her heart, and she didn't take it seriously at all.
But when it comes to his average student qualifications, he looks at Fan Ning and Qi Na awkwardly, and he doesn't know how to respond at all, Qi Na doesn't mention it, Fan Ning is still an assistant to the county magistrate at a young age, and the level is not low.
Fan Ning heard the noise of the teaching director of his alma mater on the side, and rolled his eyes N times, but because of Teacher Li Shuang's face, he didn't say anything. However, Li Wenwen on the side didn't do it, and pulled Fan Ning and said, "Assistant Fan, didn't County Magistrate Qiao ask you to send Mr. Qi earlier?" β
Her voice was deliberately loud, she thought that Director Sun would be startled when she heard it, but she never thought that he was still immersed in joy and didn't hear it at all. On the contrary, Teacher Li Shuang misunderstood, and immediately said to Qi Na: "I'm sorry to delay your time." β
Qi Na had the intention to be cool and pretend to be majestic in front of this teaching director, but he didn't have the temperament of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so he only nodded and said goodbye to ******.
Director Sun looked at Qi Na's tall figure, which was really human, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this person, why are so many girls following him?" β
"That is my student ten years ago, called Qi Na, who opened a company in Ningnan, and the one in the back is called Fan Ning, who works in the county government, and the back is also my student, Li Wenwen and Jian Ning, and the last one is Qi Na's colleague." Li Shuang is old, so he can't help but be a little nagging.
"Fanning, isn't it the assistant to the county magistrate, who was just promoted at the end of last year?" Director Sun suddenly remembered.
"Yes, didn't Li Wenwen say it all just now?" Li Shuang said.
"That, that, that Qi Na is the big boss of Ningnan!" Director Sun screamed, Qi Na led a group of local tyrants in Ningnan to invest in Qianchuan, most of the people in Qianchuan did not know Qi Na's identity, only legend said that he was also the big boss of Ningnan.
"I guess so." Li Shuang was a little hesitant, she could only judge that Qi Na should be rich, and she didn't know if it was a big boss.
