Chapter 348: Cutting to the chase

glanced at Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, Lai Xiaohu was definitely a good match. Tang Gaoqiang is also a little handsome, and more importantly, he looks like a tiger, which is a model of being a boyfriend and has a sense of security. And Murong Jing is much shorter than Tang Gaoqiang in terms of height, but Murong Jing's figure is very good and her face is beautiful, which gives people the feeling of a small jasper. There is indeed a sense of harmony between two people standing together.

After introducing each other, Lai Xiaohu and Murong Jing were temporarily familiar, and with Tang Gaoqiang as the intermediary, the two of them chatted happily.

In order to welcome Lai Xiaohu's arrival this time, Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing have already asked their respective units for two days off, that is, they will accompany Lai Xiaohu for the past two days, and take him to have a good look at Xijing City, the capital of Guanxi Province. Knowing this, Lai Xiaohu still felt a little unhappy in his heart. After all, the real purpose of coming here was actually to investigate the Gu family, but Tang Gaoqiang and the two of them didn't know, and they thought that they were just here to have a look, and now the two of them took a two-day vacation for this purpose.

But since this is already the case, then Lai Xiaohu will also take a good look at Xijing City first, so that it is not in vain The two of them took a two-day vacation for themselves. Putting aside the business for the time being, Lai Xiaohu followed the two of them directly after leaving the airport.

Xijing is one of China's megacities and the largest city in Northwest China. At the same time, Xijing is also a famous historical and cultural city in China, one of the four ancient capitals, and also the city with the longest capital in ancient China. It's an unceremonious city built on history. Naturally, there are countless historical and cultural monuments in such a city.

After arriving at the airport, the first stop for the three of them was the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. As the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang's fame is naturally known to everyone. In recent years, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses have also been hyped up as a representative of the Great Qin Empire. One of the most famous historical monuments in Xijing City. The three of them chose this place for the first stop.

The location of the Terracotta Warriors is near Lishan, and it is still a little far from the airport, but today Tang Gaoqiang drove over by himself, so this distance is naturally nothing.

At this time, it has entered the peak season of tourism, and more and more people are traveling all over the country. As one of the most famous attractions in Xijing City, when the three of them arrived, there were already a lot of tourists inside.

Just looking at the terracotta warriors and horses is actually nothing to see, because they are not beautiful. But for those who love history, looking at the terracotta warriors is another treat. As the first great empire in Chinese history, although the Qin Empire was short-lived. However, it has achieved glory, but it has always been admired by future generations. In particular, the army of the Great Qin Empire, which was invincible in the world, was admired countless times by later generations. Lai Xiaohu is such a person who likes history more, constantly walking in the scenic spots and watching the terracotta warriors and horses one after another, Lai Xiaohu's heart can slowly imagine the demeanor of the Great Qin army back then.

"Hey, it's a pity that such an invincible army is short-lived after all." After the tour on one side. Lai Xiaohu said with emotion. If the Great Qin Empire is not destroyed, then perhaps the Han people in later generations will not be as conservative and humiliated as they were in history.

Left the Terracotta Army, known as the eighth wonder of the world. Tang Gaoqiang took Lai Xiaohu to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Huaqing Pond and Daming Palace in the following day or so. Of course. In addition to these historical monuments, the three of them also had an outdoor exercise, that is, they climbed the Qinling Mountains once.

After visiting so many scenic spots in two days, it can be said that the time of the three of them is very slow, if it is not Tang Gaoqiang, the people here are more familiar with these attractions, and they will drive to it by themselves. It's impossible to see so many attractions in two days.

After two days, Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang both felt okay, Lai Xiaohu's physical strength was actually very abundant, and Tang Gaoqiang was also an athlete. The fatigue of these two days was not enough for him. However, Murong Jing, who has been following the two of them, is more unlucky, and it was quite easy to play on the first day, but when he went to Qinling on the second day, Murong Jing couldn't do it after he went up, and he couldn't walk anymore, so that when the last three of them came down, they came down directly by cable car, which saved a lot of time.

When he returned to Xijing City in the evening of the next day, Tang Gaoqiang specially found a restaurant with Xijing characteristics and took Lai Xiaohu to taste the special food of Xijing City. After eating, the three of them returned to the house that Tang Gaoqiang bought outside.

Buying a house is a headache for many young people, but for Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, it is not a difficult task. Both of them work in the government sector, and although the salary is not high, the benefits are very good. What's more, the two of them actually have a very good family environment, and there is not so much pressure to buy a house at all.

"It's a nice house." Entering Tang Gaoqiang's residence, Lai Xiaohu looked at the structure inside and said praisefully. This is a three-bedroom house, with an area of about 123 square meters, and the location is also very good, just in the city, and it is also close to the place where two people work.

"Of course," Tang Gaoqiang said after putting his things down, "This house was found with great difficulty. The size is just right, and it's close to where you work. After we bought it, we planned to use it as a wedding house. ”

"Really, I'm only going to get married in two years after graduation." Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu was surprised at first, and then said hello to Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, "When you get married, you must inform me, and I will give you a big gift bag at that time." ”

"Don't worry, I won't forget you then." Tang Gaoqiang said next to Lai Xiaohu.

After Murong Jing went in and brought a bottle of drink to each of them, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted while watching TV. In the past two days, the three of them have been walking around various scenic spots, and they don't have much time to talk together. Originally, Tang Gaoqiang thought that Lai Xiaohu might not stay here for long, so the initial plan was to take Lai Xiaohu to play in the scenic spot outside for a day, and then everyone would have a good chat and eat together for the rest of the day. However, after learning that Lai Xiaohu was going to stay here for many days, Tang Gaoqiang immediately changed his plan. In the first two days, he took Lai Xiaohu to turn around all the famous scenic spots in Xijing City. As for everyone sitting together and chatting, won't there be time when we come back?

Tang Gaoqiang now knows that Lai Xiaohu has something to do in Xijing City this time in addition to playing, and it just so happens that he and Murong Jing will also go to work from tomorrow, and then everyone will go to do their own things during the day, and when they get off work in the afternoon, they will have a meal together, and then chat together.

Tang Gaoqiang didn't ask Lai Xiaohu much about his current situation in the past two days, and after sitting down, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaohu, tell me how you are developing now, I heard a classmate on the Internet say that your business is quite big now." ”

"It's okay." Lai Xiaohu did not hide it. They are all friends with good relationships, and there is nothing to hide, "Now more than a dozen branches have been opened in Jincheng, Beijing and Shanghai, and they can probably earn billions of dollars a year." ”

"How much do you say?" What Lai Xiaohu said was the truth, but Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing, who didn't know Lai Xiaohu's development before, were suddenly shocked, "Billions of billions." Xiaohu, you didn't lie to me, did you? ”

"How. I don't believe it. I'll tell you that's not much, but in addition to these stores, I also have my own business in the United States, and I make a lot of money every year. Seeing the surprised looks of the two, Lai Xiaohu said endlessly. Many people who are familiar with him know these things in Jincheng, and they are not secrets at all.

"Bang Bang". Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing all fell to the ground with the drinks in their hands, and then the two of them looked at Lai Xiaohu in unison, with gold stars in their eyes.

"Local tyrants." Seeing that Lai Xiaohu was so sure, the two of them believed it. But it's better to say when you are skeptical. When it was really determined that Lai Xiaohu made so much money in a year, the two of them were absolutely shocked in their hearts.

Then invariably, the two asked very curiously about Lai Xiaohu's family history. As for the question of the two, Lai Xiaohu has something to say, and he still likes to talk about his own fortune history.

Obviously, this is not the first time Lai Xiaohu has talked about his history, and after Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing asked, Lai Xiaohu spent an hour with gorgeous rhetoric to describe in detail how he got to where he is today step by step after leaving school, of course, he inevitably has to beautify himself in the middle.

After Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing pinched each other's faces hard, and then remembered two screams.

After listening to Lai Xiaohu's story, the two of them felt as if they had heard a story, but the pain from the two people told them that it was real, because Lai Xiaohu had no need to deceive them at all. Whether these things are real or not, just call and ask your classmates in Jincheng to know.

And don't you say it, when he was sleeping at night, under the urging of Murong Jing, Tang Gaoqiang really called a classmate of his in Jincheng, that person was a native of Jincheng, and after graduating from college, he naturally stayed in Jincheng for local development. Lai Xiaohu has not contacted these people since he left the class, but Tang Gaoqiang kept the phones of these classmates, and called them from time to time to greet them.

This time, out of curiosity about Lai Xiaohu's fortune experience, Tang Gaoqiang called his old classmate together, and when he told the old classmate his question, the answer he got was that what Lai Xiaohu said was true. Lai Xiaohu didn't go upstairs in newspapers or news much this year, but he used to be on the floor a lot of times. And with the development of Lejia Supermarket in the past two years, even if Lai Xiaohu himself does not publicize it, he and his Lejia Supermarket have long been well-known by countless people.

Naturally, for this former classmate, those who stayed in Jincheng will pay special attention to Lai Xiaohu, although Lai Xiaohu has not contacted them since he left school suddenly, but after all, the legendary rich man who is praised by everyone is his former classmate, as long as there are curious people, they will pay special attention.

Tang Gaoqiang specially called to verify this matter, and the result was naturally that everything was true, and that classmate even said that Lai Xiaohu was more legendary than he told on the phone, and Tang Gaoqiang even began to worship Lai Xiaohu a little.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Gaoqiang looked at Murong Jing, who looked a little stunned on the side. said: "I knew that Xiaohu would not be ordinary in this life. He was the best man in our class and in our whole school when he was in school, and now he has proven himself to be the best in school and in society. ”

Regarding Tang Gaoqiang's words, Murong Jing deeply agreed, "He is indeed quite powerful." A legend like Bill Gates. ”

Of course, Lai Xiaohu didn't know what Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing said about him, and compared him to Bill Gates, Lai Xiaohu really didn't feel flattered at all. At least now he really doesn't think he's worse than Bill Gates. From the perspective of ordinary people, Bill Gates needs to look up, and from Lai Xiaohu's point of view, Bill Gates can be completely level-eyed, but the two have not met yet.

A quiet night's rest. The next day, the three of them got up early, and Murong Jing made breakfast in the morning, and the three of them went out together after eating. Murong Jing drove Tang Gaoqiang to work, while Tang Gaoqiang left his car to Lai Xiaohu and used it as he pleased.

After the two of them left. Lai Xiaohu also drove out. He has his own affairs, the first thing is to be familiar with the seat of all levels of government in Xijing City. Especially at the level of Kansai Province. The provincial government and the provincial party committee are the focus of Lai Xiaohu's care. In addition, he also got acquainted with other more important departments. Of course. In addition to being familiar with the terrain, taking advantage of the gap when others were not paying attention, Lai Xiaohu also took the opportunity to sneak into these departments a few times, but he mainly just took a look and did not take any action.

After doing the first thing, Lai Xiaohu spent nearly a morning, and when it was past eleven o'clock, he drove to the door of the Xijing City Finance and Political Bureau. Through chat. Lai Xiaohu also knew that Tang Gaoqiang's place of work was in the Finance Bureau of Xijing City, while Murong Jing worked in the provincial TV station.

I received a call from Lai Xiaohu early, so I waited after getting off work. Tang Gaoqiang was the first to run out of it, and when he saw that his car was parked outside, he walked up.

"How's it going, you're done?" After going up, Tang Gaoqiang asked Lai Xiaohu.

"It's okay, I turned around the provincial government and the provincial party committee in one morning." Looking at Tang Gaoqiang, Lai Xiaohu suddenly spoke.

"Ah," Hearing Lai Xiaohu's words, Tang Gaoqiang was suddenly startled, and even his heart had a feeling that it suddenly stopped beating. This is mainly because what Lai Xiaohu said just now was too shocking for Tang Gaoqiang.

Tang Gaoqiang never asked Lai Xiaohu what else he had to do here, because he felt that since a big businessman like Lai Xiaohu had something, it must be a very important business dealing, and Lai Xiaohu himself was unwilling to say that this matter needed to be kept secret for the time being, and Tang Gaoqiang, who was in the officialdom, still knew not to ask what he shouldn't ask.

But now Lai Xiaohu suddenly told Tang Gaoqiang that he went to transfer the provincial * * party committee and the provincial * government, which is not a business transaction at all, even if Lai Xiaohu wants to invest in Kansai Province, then he only needs to go to the provincial * government, and the provincial * party committee is completely unnecessary. But Lai Xiaohu not only went, but also used the word "turn". Hearing this, Tang Gaoqiang realized that Lai Xiaohu was not going to talk about investment, but with other purposes.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Tang Gaoqiang had to ask worriedly, and his colleague's gaze at Lai Xiaohu was also a little more vigilant.

"What, you're not at ease?" Seeing Tang Gaoqiang's reaction, Lai Xiaohu said with a smile, this was originally deliberate by him, in order to have a showdown with Tang Gaoqiang in the future.

Tang Gaoqiang didn't speak, while Lai Xiaohu started the car and said: "I came here this time to have important things, but I didn't come to invest, but I wanted to get someone." ”

"Who?" Tang Gaoqiang immediately asked. If you get a person, you need to go to the first-level government, then that person's background is definitely not small.

"How about a quiet place where we can eat and talk?" Lai Xiaohu asked Tang Gaoqiang.

Tang Gaoqiang did not refuse, in fact, he was also very curious about what Lai Xiaohu wanted to do, and after quickly thinking of a place, he guided Lai Xiaohu there.

Coming to the door of a restaurant, Tang Gaoqiang said: "This is a place where our bureau often gathers, the boss is very good at being a person, and it is very safe to talk about things here." ”

From the outside, this restaurant looks very ordinary, and even feels a little defeated, but after entering the inside, I find that there is a hole inside, especially the private room is very luxurious.

After entering, Tang Gaoqiang suddenly said to Lai Xiaohu: "The outside of this restaurant is specially old, it looks ordinary, and even feels very defeated, but the inside is quite good." And the location of this restaurant is also very hidden, and ordinary people can't find it. So the guests here are generally not ordinary, and I don't need to say that I believe you understand. ”

Lai Xiaohu nodded, indicating that he understood, after living for so many years, he had seen a lot of various things. (To be continued......)
