Duan Zetao was at this time under the leadership of Jia Changqing to Liu Junren's home, Liu Junren was transferred to the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, but his family did not move, and he still lived in the old residential area of the Red Star Factory, most of the high-level leaders of the Red Star Heavy Industry Group bought villas and houses in the city's high-end communities, and only Liu Junren has been living in the old family building.

There are so many workers in the Red Star Factory, the residential area is naturally very large, all of them are the kind of gray cement exterior walls of the six-story unit building, this residential area was built in the early eighties of the Red Star Factory, at that time it was a very proud thing to be able to live in the building, but now it seems that it is no different from the slums, and the walls are also gray color, covered with large and small cracks.

The residential area of the Red Star Factory is very lively, now many workers are laid off, and they can't find anything to do, they gather outside to hang around, some put a pair of chess on the stone bench under the tree to play, some simply move the table, chair and bench to play mahjong and cards outside, and there are piles of people watching next to them, all of them are idle and painful.

Everyone's life is not good, the anger is inevitably a little big, this is not the pair of young people who play chess and quarrel, the tone is very rushed, without arguing two words on the sleeves and moving hands, but the people next to them seem to be commonplace, some numbly watching on the side, some shouting and coaxing on the side, some are shouting and cheering, and after a while, there is a lively crowd, but there is no persuasion.

Duan Zetao's brows couldn't help frowning, if the problem of the resettlement of the laid-off workers of the Red Star Factory is not solved, these laid-off workers are like a barrel of explosives, and a little spark may cause a great turmoil that will shake the whole province or even the whole country, and it will really be out of control at that time. He became more and more anxious to find Liu Junren, figure out the crux of the problem of the Red Star Factory as soon as possible, and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

But it backfired, ran to Liu Junren's house, knocked on the door outside for a long time and no one answered, it seemed that no one was at home, Duan Zetao was a little disappointed, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard a woman's surprised voice, "You are looking for Director Liu, he is not at home...... Hey, big brother, it's you! ”。

Duan Zetao looked up, it turned out to be an acquaintance, and the person who came was Wang Lijuan, the proprietress of the food stall! Duan Zetao greeted Wang Lijuan with a smile, "Sister-in-law Lijuan, it's you, do you also live in this building?" I have something to do with Director Liu, do you know where he went?! ”。

Wang Lijuan said enthusiastically: "Yes, I live next door to Director Liu's house, Director Liu is a good person, if it weren't for him, my family wouldn't be able to share this house, Director Liu should have gone back to his hometown, a few days earlier his hometown came, he followed back, you have something urgent to find him?!" ……”。

Duan Zetao was a little disappointed, and then asked: "Oh, I've returned to my hometown, where is Changchang Liu's hometown, is it far from Hongxing City?" I'm in a bit of a hurry ......."

Wang Lijuan waved her hand and said: "Not far away, in the neighboring Black Tea County, it is also under the management of Hongxing City, my hometown is also there, and it is only a few miles away from the hometown of Changchang Liu, if you are in a hurry to find him, I just want to go back to my hometown, I can show you the ......way."

Duan Zetao thought that the problem of the Red Star Factory really couldn't be delayed any longer, and the sooner it was solved, the better, so he was even more eager to see Liu Junren, and going to Liu Junren's hometown might allow him to better understand what kind of person Liu Junren was, so he nodded and smiled: "Then it's troublesome for you, by the way, don't you do business in your store?" ”。

Wang Lijuan's face showed a gloomy color, and said angrily: "My store is closed, you guys left in the morning, and the people from the back foot health and epidemic prevention station came, saying that my health there is not up to standard, and I want to close the door, and I will go to wait for it tomorrow, it's not easy to do a little business now, there are too many gods to worship, and it's okay if I give them red envelopes next door, but I was ordered to close down without giving gifts, it's so dark!" ……”。

A cold light flashed in Duan Zetao's eyes, these functional management departments are so demanding for laid-off workers to start a business, if it is not good to rectify it, it seems that it will not work, so he smiled and said: "In this way, you help me lead the way today, and I will accompany you to the health and epidemic prevention station tomorrow, I have acquaintances there, maybe I can help you, it may not be ......."

Wang Lijuan was worried in her heart, she heard that Duan Zetao had a way to the health and epidemic prevention station, and she was overjoyed, and Jia Changqing on the side had not spoken, seeing that Duan Zetao and Wang Lijuan were very familiar, and she was still so concerned about Wang Lijuan's affairs, and seeing that Wang Lijuan was very beautiful, she muttered in her heart, could it be that Mayor Duan fell in love with this beautiful laid-off female worker? !

Duan Zetao didn't know that Jia Changqing was thinking like this in his heart, so he took the lead to go downstairs, and out of politeness, he took the initiative to help Wang Lijuan open the car door and invite her to get into the car.

And Wang Lijuan was taken aback when she saw Duan Zetao coming in such a good car, and brought the driver and entourage, and guessed that Duan Zetao's identity was not an ordinary person, but she didn't know much about license plates, and she didn't pay special attention to it, so she only thought that Duan Zetao was a rich son, but she didn't expect him to be the mayor.

There are many rich people who have chased Wang Lijuan over the years, some are stalked, and some are directly tempted by money, but she has never been moved, but it makes her have a special disgust and rejection of rich people from her heart, she also thinks that Duan Zetao has ulterior motives for helping herself so enthusiastically, and she secretly regrets it in her heart, but since she has promised Duan Zetao to show him the way, it is not easy to regret it, but she secretly decided not to use Duan Zetao to help her find someone at the health and epidemic prevention station tomorrow.

Since Wang Lijuan has such a thought, getting along with Duan Zetao is not as natural as it was at the beginning, sitting far away from Duan Zetao, Duan Zetao took the initiative to ask her about some things in the Red Star Factory, she also thought that Duan Zetao was using excuses to get close to her, and there was a perfunctory sentence without a word, although Duan Zetao felt a little strange about Wang Lijuan's sudden change of attitude, but he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, Liu Junren was in extreme grief and trouble, his old mother died of a serious illness the day before yesterday, Liu Junren has many brothers and sisters in his family, two brothers and two sisters, he is the youngest, his father died when they were very young, it was his mother who pulled them up with hard work, and his mother died, Liu Junren was very sad.

Liu Junren's eldest brother works as a farmer at home and is an honest farmer, and the second brother does a small business in the county, so he naturally develops a very philistine character, and the two elder sisters are married to the city, and their husbands are both small cadres in the city, and they are also relatively vain citizens.

In addition to the honest eldest brother, the second brother and the two elder sisters have always been very unbalanced in their hearts for their mother to use all their savings to send Liu Junren to college, thinking that their mother is too partial, and only cares about Liu Junren, so that they suffer losses, and they have resentment in their hearts, not only do they not have much contact with Liu Junren, but they also do not come back to visit when their mother is alive.

Later, Liu Junren became the deputy director of the Red Star Factory with his own efforts, and the attitude of the second brother and the two sisters changed greatly, and they ran to Liu Junren's house without anything, hoping to get the care of his younger brother, but Liu Junren was a cadre who adhered to principles and refused to use his power to seek benefits for his brothers and sisters, and the relationship between Liu Junren and his second brother and two sisters and brothers-in-law became even worse.

For the mother's posthumous affairs, Liu Junren and the second brother and two sisters and brothers-in-law had a dispute, it turned out that over the years, Hongxing City has formed an abnormal funeral atmosphere, talking about pomp and face, some people are not good to the old man before death, but after death for the old man, such people are often considered to be filial piety, and no matter how filial you are to the old man during your lifetime, if the funeral is not pompous enough, the neighbors in the township will poke the backbone, saying that it is not good, especially those who go out to work outside, if the old man's funeral is not lively, and will be said by the neighbors in the township to be unable to raise their heads.

The second brother and his two sisters and brothers-in-law didn't want to come up with money for their mother's funeral, but also wanted to make a show, so they pointed the finger at Liu Junren, thinking that his mother had spent all her savings in order to send Liu Junren to college, and Liu Junren was the biggest official in the family, so all the money should naturally be paid by him.

Liu Junren actually wanted to make his mother's funeral more lively, but he was shocked when he settled the account, and it cost thousands to place balloon arches, thousands to invite bands and troupes, thousands to hire helpers and coffin bearers, tens of thousands to buy fireworks and firecrackers, tens of thousands to buy cigarettes and alcohol, and tens of thousands to set up flowing water seats...... In this way, there is no 200,000 grand funeral.

And Liu Junren has always been relatively honest, there is no other income except salary, before he had to give his mother some money every month, and spent a lot for his mother's treatment, before he came, he took all the family's savings of 30,000 yuan, but it was far from enough.

It just so happened that Liu Huowang's father in the same village also passed away, Liu Huowang and Liu Junren were college classmates, and the two have always had a competitive relationship, and the two pursued Liu Junren's current wife Yang Xuemei together in college, and later Yang Xuemei chose the upright and diligent Liu Junren, Liu Huowang has been holding his breath in his heart, and he wants to compare Liu Junren to Liu Junren.

Liu Huowang was the deputy county magistrate of Hongcha County, since the news of his father's death came out, there was an endless stream of people who came to mourn and give gifts, and the car stopped at the entrance of the village, and Liu Huowang finally seized the opportunity to naturally press Liu Junren, and did a lot of manipulation, the arch was made dozens of them, and they were placed all the way, the band and the troupe invited two, and the fireworks and firecrackers were even more non-stop.

Originally, Liu Junren's level was half a level higher than Liu Huowang, and he was in the right place, but now that he offended Zhu Changsheng and was ordered to be suspended, his colleagues in the unit avoided him and would not come, and second, Liu Junren has never liked to engage in these false courtesies, except for a few close friends, he did not notify others at all, and of course there were few people who came to mourn.

Comparing the two, Liu Huowang's house is noisy with gongs, drums and firecrackers, and the flow of people is like weaving, but Liu Junren's house is deserted, and the door is full of birds, no matter how calm Liu Junren is, it is inevitable that he will be a little lost in his heart, and the second brother and his two sisters and brothers-in-law are still sneering on the side, putting pressure on Liu Junren, how not to make Liu Junren feel troubled.
