Chapter 20: Negotiation (1)
When she got home, Feng Eping asked her father: "Dad, today in the county office, is the Liu family tofu workshop that Master Bao said from the same Uncle Liu's house who invited you to his house to eat tofu last time?" ”
The father sat on the stool in the courtyard and sighed softly, and said, "Uncle Liu is a person from the Liu family's tofu factory, yes, he is the master of the Liu family's tofu factory!" ”
Feng Eping approached her father and said, "Dad, why didn't you speak when Master Bao asked if anyone was willing to be responsible for discussing with the Liu family today?" Don't you want to? Or are you afraid that you will offend Uncle Liu? ”
"Eping, it's not that my father is unwilling to do this, and it's not that my father is afraid that he will offend Uncle Liu, but Uncle Liu once told my father that since their tofu workshop was closed, there was a big family in the town, a rich family, who had always wanted to buy their tofu factory, but the tofu workshop was their Liu family's ancestral family business, how could they give it up so easily! And what about selling it? So no matter how high the price is, they won't sell the tofu shop if they say anything! ”
"But Dad, this time I don't want to buy his Liu family's tofu workshop, but borrow it for the victims to live temporarily, their Liu family shouldn't disagree!"
"Eping, you don't know, the big family who wants to buy Liu's tofu workshop has an extraordinary relationship with Lord Bao of the county government, it is estimated that it is because that family has always wanted to buy Liu's tofu workshop and has never been able to do so, so Lord Bao took advantage of this extraordinary period to invade the Liu family's workshop by taking advantage of the disaster victims!"
Hearing her father say this, Feng Eping suddenly realized. She had heard that this Lord Bao was an inactive county magistrate, but today he showed such love for the people like a son, even Feng Eping was almost confused by his appearance at that time, and almost really thought that he was a good official who worked for the people.
"But now, in this extraordinary time, I can't object to Lord Bao raising this issue, and even if I do, it won't do anything, unless I can find a better way to resettle these victims. But as far as I know, there is really no place in our entire Guixi that can accommodate so many victims, so there is nothing Dad can do! For the sake of those victims, my father also hopes that the Liu family can lend out the tofu workshop! Dad will go to Uncle Liu, and will talk to the Liu family through him, but in Master Bao, Dad doesn't want to come out, for fear that if he brings something bad to the Liu family! ”
Now Feng E understands it. But now this matter has fallen on the young man named Hu Ruizhen, and I don't know what he plans to do now.
"Dad, do you know that young man who is in the county government today? What is the background of this person? How could he take the initiative to take charge of this? ”
"This person's father is not familiar with it either! But judging by what he said today, this person is a person who dares to act! ”
"Dad, I think tonight, that Hu Gongzi will definitely go to Liu's house! Shall we check it out too? ”
"Go, of course we have to go, we must hurry, we will finish this one day later, and those victims will have to sleep out for one more day!"
"Dad, you don't have to worry too much, I heard the dog tell me today, in fact, most of their victims have found a place to shelter from the wind and rain, some of them are found by themselves, and some are provided by local well-wishers, but many of them are abandoned dilapidated old houses, some ruined walls! It's dilapidated, but it's better than actually living on the streets! ”
When my father heard this, he still sighed, "Hey! We still have to let them have a place to live sooner! ”
It wasn't dark yet, Feng Eping and her father had a few bites of food early, and they were ready to go to Liu's house! Although they don't know what will happen now, and the whole thing is not their sole responsibility, how can they waste any time in order to have a place for the victims to be resettled as soon as possible?
When Feng Eping followed her father to the vicinity of Liu's house, she happened to see Hu Ruizhen enter Liu's house.
"Dad, Hu Gongzi has entered Liu's house, should we wait any longer and wait for Hu Gongzi to come out?"
"It's okay, we'd better not go in with Gongzi Hu, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Liu family, otherwise, it will complicate things!"
Feng Eping and her father waited outside Liu's house for a long time, and the son came out, and he looked dejected, looking at it, Feng Eping knew that the matter had not been negotiated.
"Daddy! Hu Gongzi came out so quickly, looking at him, the Liu family definitely didn't agree! ”
"That's for sure, if it could be done so easily, would we still need to do it? …… Eping, you go and catch up with that Hu Gongzi and ask what the situation is now, and Dad will be able to deal with it when he goes in. ”
"Okay, Dad, I'll go catch up with him."
"Dad is waiting for you here, you go and come back quickly."
Hu Ruizhen looked dazed, thinking thoughtfully as he walked, how could he get the Liu family to agree to lend out the tofu workshop for those victims to live?
"Hu Gongzi, please stay."
Hu Ruizhen turned his head, "Oh, you're the ......"
"In Xia Feng'e Ping, we met in the county government today."
"Yes, yes, I recognize it, but I don't remember the girl's name! Please forgive me! ”
"Hu Gongzi is serious, I and Gongzi are just one side of each other today, and we have never had a deep conversation, it is normal for Gongzi not to know my name."
When the two met, they first talked a few words in a secular way.
"Hu Gongzi, I just saw Gongzi coming out of Liu's house, presumably Gongzi must be about the tofu workshop." Feng Eping said, and Hu Ruizhen immediately nodded in acknowledgement.
"I wonder if the son has negotiated with the Liu family? When will the victims be able to move into Liu's Tofu Factory? Although Feng Eping basically knew that he had not negotiated at this time, he still couldn't directly pick out the matter, otherwise his enthusiasm and enthusiasm would be hit.
"Shame! It's all my self-help, I swore to do this well, but I didn't expect to be swept away by others before I could say a few words at Liu's house! ”
"Does Childe have an explanation that the situation is urgent and the stakes are at stake?"
"Yes, I told them everything, but when they heard it, they were very disgusted and very unhappy, and they sent me out after a while."
"Their Liu family is also a big family, and they are also a family with a head and a face in the Guixi area, so they really don't know how to prioritize and refuse?"
Feng Eping asked, Hu Ruizhen was shocked, "This is also very puzzled, after I went in and just explained my intentions, they said that I was the minions of the county government and the lobbyist of the Fang family!" I was confused, but they didn't listen to my explanation at all, it seems that today was my negligence, and I didn't have a clear understanding of the matter, so I rashly went to their Liu family to discuss, which led to being swept out of the house by them, I am really ashamed, ashamed! ”
"Childe Mo Yan blames himself! At this time, it is very rare for Childe to stand up and work hard for the victims, but we still have to think carefully about this matter in order to promote this matter as soon as possible. ”
Hu Ruizhen looked at Feng Eping carefully, "Could it be that the girl is also going to Liu's house to discuss this matter with them?" ”
Feng Eping nodded, this time Hu Ruizhen's face was full of surprise, his face was full of incredible! At this time, he was really a little impressed by the woman in front of him.
"I can't imagine that the girl is also a person who cares about the people and righteousness, Hu admires it!"
Hu Ruizhen praised Feng Eping again and again, but Feng Eping was a little embarrassed.
