At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the electric bell rang outside on time for the end of class, Bai Xiaoyan looked up at the window, and buried her head in planning to finish the last few student assignments.

Time flies so fast, the former student has become a current colleague, and Teacher Fei, the head teacher of Class 2 of the third junior high school, saw that she was still correcting her homework, and asked kindly: "Xiaoyan, it's all out of school, why haven't you gone home yet?" ”

"Let's go."

If you don't leave, it's easy for someone to want to show something, Bai Xiaoyan asked with a smile while cleaning up her desk: "Teacher Fei, why are you here?" ”

"The car was borrowed by Lao Wu in the canteen, saying that he would come back in a while."

Although he is also a teacher now, in front of the amiable Teacher Fei, Bai Xiaoyan felt that she would always be a child, so she picked up the helmet from the corner and said: "Lao Wu is famous for procrastinating, I don't know who he is talking to now, Teacher Fei, I'll send you, anyway, drop by." ”

Teacher Fei waved his hand and smiled casually: "No need, otherwise he won't be able to see me when he comes back and will be in a hurry." ”

Her lover has just had surgery, and her son is in his third year of high school this year, and he wants to go back to cook and urge the child to study, Bai Xiaoyan doesn't want her to waste her time here, so she grabbed her arm and said, "It's okay, just talk to Uncle Wang in the communication room." ”

Teacher Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiaoyan, it's not that I'm polite to you, it's that I can't smell the smell of gasoline, I get dizzy when I smell it, don't worry about me, go back first, there are many people after work, drive slower on the road." ”

Bai Xiaoyan said: "A motorcycle is not a car, it doesn't have such a big taste? ”

"I can't smell it at all, do you remember when our class went to sweep the grave? Director Chen knew I couldn't ride in a car. I specially asked Mr. Qian to take me on a motorcycle. I was dizzy, went to the martyr's cemetery, and came back and lay down for three days. ”

In my memory, she was the last teacher in the school to learn to ride a bicycle, especially at the beginning, she had obviously learned, but when she saw a lot of people, she was too scared to ride, always pushing a bicycle to and from work, and she was ignorant when she was a child. laughed at her behind her back.

Bai Xiaoyan didn't want to be embarrassed, so she picked up her bag and said, "Teacher Fei, then I'll go first, and you should slow down when you go back." ”

"Well, let's go, help me get along with your dad and mom."

Nanbin is one of the 14 coastal open cities in the country, but after so many years of reform and opening up, the city's appearance has not changed much. There are still a few roads, and there are still a few buses.

At the end of the day, the road converges into a spectacular stream of bicycles. The car bell "jingled" non-stop. Some people who were in a hurry to go home simply rode to the middle of the road. And a couple of lads. In order to attract the attention of the opposite sex, release the handlebars, put your hands behind your back, and perform stunts on the main road.

The sweetest are the big girls and little daughters-in-law who sit in the back of the car, holding the waist of the object or husband with one hand and the frame with the other, with a happy smile on their faces.

Motorcycles are not a new means of transportation, but like Bai Xiaoyan's red magnolia pedal, Nanbin is not very many. Beautiful car beauties, along the way, I don't know how many young men will attract side eyes.

Her home is not far from No. 2 Middle School, turn left from the intersection of Haibin Road and Zhongxing Road, and walk for another three minutes.

Under the dense plane trees, a red brick wall has been old. In the summer, it is overgrown with creepers. The gate of the compound opens to the west, and there is a blue door number hanging on it: No. 28 Zhongxing Road, but compared to the door number just lined up by the municipal department, Nanbin people are more accustomed to calling it "the old local committee compound".

Before the land was withdrawn and the city was established, it was a residential area for the leaders of the prefectural committee.

There are more than 20 Soviet-style small buildings, and almost all the leaders of the prefectural committee and administrative office who were ranked first at that time lived here. After the establishment of the city, many old leaders retreated to the second line, but they still enjoyed the treatment of cadres at the department and bureau level, and they did not move out.

The old leaders did not leave, and the new leaders could not live, so in order to solve the housing problem of the city leaders, the city built another living area.

Bai Renchuan, deputy secretary of the Nanbin Municipal Party Committee and mayor, has lived here for seven or eight years, and has feelings for this place, so he has not moved like other leaders of the municipal party committee and government, and has become the only in-service leading cadre in the compound.

Veteran cadres are the precious wealth of the party and the people, and they live here in a quiet environment where they cannot hear harsh noises. Bai Xiaoyan, as usual, stopped the fire as soon as she entered the gate.

Uncle Liu poked his head out and asked, "Teacher Bai, are you off work?" ”

"It's time to get off work."

He is the old man of the compound, even the most unreasonable old cadres are polite to him, he is watching himself grow up, Bai Xiaoyan buckled his helmet to the rearview mirror, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Liu, what are you doing, so fragrant?" ”

"Braised fish, Secretary Gu went to the river to fish, they can't eat so much, give me a few."

No one can forget him if they have something, Bai Xiaoyan was not surprised, but looked at the black teaching car in front of Building No. 3, and asked thoughtfully: "Uncle Liu, do I have guests at home?" ”

He has worked here for several decades, and has dealt with dozens of secretaries of the prefectural party committee, directors of the revolutionary committee, and secretary of the municipal party committee.

"When don't you have any guests?" The old man looked unhappy, obviously he had been a revolution all his life and couldn't get used to the current atmosphere.

"Then don't let them in next time."

As the mayor's daughter, Bai Xiaoyan has not encountered many people who have entrusted her with affairs during this time, such as official and private affairs, school, education commission, and district committee, and she has been tired of it.

The old man smiled slyly: "Okay, next time someone comes, I'll say that you won't let you in." ”

"Okay, you can say whatever you want."

When she got home, there were two guests sitting in the living room, Bai Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, and said hello, so she put down her backpack and went to the kitchen to help her mother make dinner.

"Where's my dad?"

"Answer the phone in the study," Gui Qing pointed to the teacup on the refrigerator, and said with a smile while picking vegetables: "You don't care about it here, go and pour two glasses of water for Mayor Yun and Secretary General Jiang." ”

Every day, it's either the deputy mayor or the director, Bai Xiaoyan pouted and muttered, "My dad is really right." There is something that cannot be said in the unit. It's almost like an office. ”

Gui Qing glared at her daughter fiercely. said in a low voice: "Mayor Yun and Secretary General Jiang just led the team to participate in the Canton Fair, and they came to report their work without even entering the door, how dedicated they are, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I'm also very dedicated, I have to work during the day and come back at night to work as a waiter."

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Gui Qing snorted and said, "It's easy to think of not being a waiter, hurry up and solve your personal problems." Live your little days. ”

Bai Xiaoyan didn't want to be fooled into going on a blind date again, so she lifted the kettle and said: "Mom, don't be so troublesome, tomorrow I will take care of the general affairs and ask for a dormitory, live in the school, and save yourself being called by you as a maid all day long." ”

"The wings are stiff and you want to fly?" Gui Qing snorted coldly and said angrily: "I'll call your principal now to see if he will give you a dormitory." ”

It is common for the mother and son to quarrel, Bai Xiaoyan pretended to be indignant and said, "You use your power to oppress people." ”

"That's what you forced me to do. Who told you not to support the elderly. Is it easy for me to pull you so big since I was a child? ”

"I won't tell you." Bai Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Don't forget to put salt in today's soup, it died yesterday, and there is no taste at all." ”

In all fairness, her daughter is sensible, she is excellent in character and learning when she goes to school, and she works diligently, unlike the kid in Secretary Duan's family, who smeared his parents. There are so many units and departments in the bureau commission, who doesn't give a thumbs up when it comes to the daughter of Mayor Bai's family.

However, being too good is not a good thing either.

The male is married, the female is married, and it is not so easy to help her find a good guy and the same excellent young man. The few people introduced before, not to mention that their daughters don't like it, they don't even look at it well.

It's not a thing to drag on like this, Gui Qing sighed secretly, wondering if she should call her aunt tomorrow to see if she could help her introduce one in the provincial capital.

In the living room, Bai Renchuan, who had just finished answering the phone, was listening to the reports of Deputy Mayor Yun and Deputy Secretary-General Jiang of the municipal government, seeing him frowning, Bai Xiaoyan realized that he must have been in trouble at work, carefully put down the teacup, and then pricked up his ears to listen while sorting out the newspaper on the wall.

“…… Lao Wang, as you know, has always had a very high opinion of himself, which is why he was transferred to the director of the Special Administrative Region Office. He has the ability to make the tertiary industry prosperous, and he has set up guest houses and trading companies, and he earned more than one million yuan last year. This time, I led a team to participate in the Canton Fair, and they did a lot of work, and we hardly worried about it after getting off the train, and they did it all by themselves.

But his mind never turned that corner, and he always thought that he was the leader and that others should ask him. According to Xiao Zhu, not only has he not taken the initiative to contact NB Electric once in the past few years, but he is not even willing to deal with Wei Zhonghua. It is said that when the fellow sees the fellow, his eyes are full of tears, but he is good, not only is there no tears, but he also refuses to be thousands of miles away. ”

Vice Mayor Yun was heartbroken, and Deputy Secretary-General Jiang looked helpless.

Bai Renchuan nodded slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "Wei Zhonghua is the deputy director sent by the Tiangang Branch to open a driving school in the Special Administrative Region?" ”

Deputy Secretary Jiang confirmed: "It's him, 56 this year, who has worked in the Special Economic Zone for 5 years, and the driving school is getting bigger and bigger, and it is said that it generates millions of dollars a year. ”

It was only after the old man's second southern tour this spring that the policy of reform and opening up was truly determined.

Prior to this, the Nanbin Municipal Office in the Special Economic Zone was not entrusted with the function of attracting investment. Like most of its sister cities, it is positioned as an institution that engages in tertiary industries, opens companies, and provides convenience for the city to go to the special zone to do business.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Wang Changjiang, director of the SAR Office. However, now everything must be centered on economic construction, and attracting investment has become one of the most important tasks of the municipal party committee and government.

Large foreign enterprises are too far away, and Nanbin does not have this way, and it is mainly Hong Kong businessmen who invest in China now.

Ding Wenming, the son of Ding Aiguo, director of the Maeda Port Public Security Bureau, is known to almost everyone in the Nanbin Municipal Party Committee and Government as a general manager of a Hong Kong-funded enterprise and to do big business. Therefore, after Bai Inchuan took office, he aimed at him, trying to ask him to invest in and build his hometown.

But after inquiring, I learned that Ding Wenming had resigned as a deputy to the Dongguang Provincial People's Congress, immigrated to Hong Kong, and became the director and executive vice president of Hong Kong NB Electric Group.

The main owner will not be able to contact him for a while, so he can only contact him.

Bai Renchuan pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Wei Zhonghua and Ding Aiguo are in the same unit." Again, they are all in the Special Administrative Region. Surely they will be able to talk? ”

"I asked Lao Wei. He said that the contact can be contacted, but the contact may not be effective, first of all, Ding Aiguo is an idler, and he will not be able to manage the affairs of NB Electric; Secondly, his son Ding Wenming is only one of the three vice presidents of NB Electric, in charge of the investment department, and he doesn't seem to have any real power. ”

Vice Mayor Yun took a sip of tea, and then reported: "NB Electric is in this part of the country. Now it's the Hujiang Gang that has the final say. Li Xiaoshan, President of the Chinese Company, a native of Hujiang; Vice President Hu Meiqi, a native of Hujiang; Vice President Song Jia, graduated from F-Dan University, can be regarded as half of Hujiang people;

In order to dig up NB Electric, the Hujiang Municipal Party Committee even transferred Chen Zhenghuai, a former comrade-in-arms of Zhang Yuanchao, from the Department of Foreign Economic and Technical Cooperation of the Ministry of Economic and Trade to Hujiang as director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office. The efforts were very strong, and almost all the tricks that could be used were used, so that Dongguang Province and Xiangjiang City could not keep them again and again, and could only watch NB Electric move the headquarters of the Chinese company to Hujiang. ”

The director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office is at the bureau level. Bai Renchuan was completely dumbfounded, and was silent for a while before he said with mixed feelings: "Who doesn't want our hometown to be good." As long as they show enough sincerity, they can't be indifferent, after all, our Nanbin is the hometown of the first shareholder's charter. ”

Charter, a name that is so familiar. Bai Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the classmate who dropped out of school and sold cigarettes in junior high school.

Just when she was wondering if it was the same person, Deputy Secretary-General Jiang took over the conversation: "Mayor Bai, it's easy to talk about being able to contact the charter, but the key is that Mayor Yun and I can't get in touch with every possible means." When I found the branch of the Chinese company on the 12th floor of the Nanguo Building in the Special Administrative Region, the staff said that the charter was the director of the technical application department of the NB laboratory, not the NB electrical staff. When I found the experimental center of the NB laboratory in the Special Administrative Region, I couldn't even get in. ”

Bai Renchuan asked: "Don't talk about love at all?" ”

Deputy Secretary-General Jiang sighed lightly, and said with a bitter smile of helplessness: "It's not that I don't have feelings, but I don't even have a chance to speak." A high fence, two doors at the front and back, fully computer-controlled, no doormen, and no communication room. Their car automatically opens the door when it arrives at the door, and closes automatically as soon as the car enters. ”

Such strict security measures can be understood, after all, people are laboratories that can invent medical CT machines and flat picture tube color TVs, Bai Renchuan muttered: "The charter is the tenth richest man in Hong Kong, and the head of the central government must treat him with courtesy, it is indeed not so easy to see him, it seems that he has to make a fuss about Ding Aiguo." ”

The tenth richest man in Hong Kong, Bai Xiaoyan means that it is definitely not the same person.

Just as she was about to go back to the kitchen to help, Vice Mayor Yun suddenly said, "Mayor Bai, we heard a situation from Comrade Wei Zhonghua. Ding Aiguo was busy with this during this time, and it is said that he has chartered a Boeing 737 plane with China Southern Airlines. ”

The children of the martyrs, Bai Xiaoyan turned around and asked, "Dad, the charter you are talking about is the chapter that established the morning chapter, is it in your twenties?" ”

Bai Renchuan subconsciously said: "Yes, it means that everything must have a charter, which is about the same age as you." ”

"His father is a martyr, and there are two sisters on it?"

Bai Renchuan nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "Xiaoyan, do you know the charter?" ”

Bai Xiaoyan said with a smile: "I have a junior high school classmate named the charter, but I don't know if you say the charter." ”

Thinking of the information of the charter, Vice Mayor Yun couldn't help but get up and said: "Xiaobai, we said that the charter is twenty-three years old this year, the family lives at No. 16 Dongfeng Road, Tiangang District, his mother used to work in the Tiangang District Power Supply Bureau, and there is a grandmother and two sisters at home, the eldest sister is called Zhang Hui......"

"The second sister seems to be called Zhang Lin, right?"

Bai Renchuan was happy, pulled his daughter to sit beside him and asked with a smile: "Do you really know him?" ”

"I know, elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, but I dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school," Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoyan asked puzzledly: "Dad, his family is very difficult, he hasn't even finished junior high school, how can he go to Hong Kong, and what kind of richest man has he become?" ”

Bai Renchuan stared at her eyes and said with a serious face: "Xiaoyan, you should be proud of your classmate, he didn't finish junior high school, but he became a talent through self-study. Now he is not only the tenth richest man in Hong Kong, with billions of dollars in assets, but also an accomplished young scientist.

What effect was discovered, and a ...... was created One...... A course that is recognized all over the world and has won the Humboldt Prize in Berlin and the Presidential Freedom Award of the United States. The laboratory he created was even more powerful, discovering and inventing many things, and they were the ones who helped Kuwait put out oil fires with aircraft engines. ”

Vice Mayor Yun added: "Discover a new material called 'carbon nanotubes' that can change the world, 'NB Future Window' plane right-angle color TV, medical CT machine, computer operation software, engage in automated factories, and go to the Arctic for scientific research...... It is also said that domestic waste is used to generate electricity in Germany. ”

Back then, I joked with him that selling cigarettes was unprofitable, and I wouldn't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, but I didn't expect him to become a scientist, Bai Xiaoyan was suspicious: "Really? ”

"That's why I said you should be proud of you to have such a classmate."

This change is also too big, Bai Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's unbelievable, I mentioned him to Teacher Fei some time ago, but I didn't expect him to have such a big deal." ”

Bai Inchuan sighed: "He is a talent who has gone out of our Nanbin, so we have to find ways to invite him back, invest in his hometown, and build his hometown." (To be continued......)
