As soon as this thought popped up, even Long Wei herself was not surprised. As if inadvertently, everything about Qiao Bei, including his slamming the door, his persistence, and his desperation for the people around him, quietly entered his heart and slowly took root.

Perhaps, is this fate?

When the car arrived at the mouth of the old street alley, the four of them got out of the car, Long Wei looked at Qiao Bei, who was a little haggard, and couldn't help but feel a little heartache, caught up with a step, gently held Qiao Bei's arm, and still smiled lightly: "Senior brother, do you want the old street to always be like this?" ”

Qiao Bei shook his head: "I also hope that the old street will change, but I know that a person, or a place, really wants to change, there is always joy accompanied by pain, and all kinds of tastes will come up." But I have to change, because if I don't change, I will be eliminated, I also like the neighbors of the old street to live in new houses and live a good life, but it's not time yet, I have to completely kill Li Wanshan, in order to really let them live a good life, otherwise, another inferior real estate developer, they will still suffer. ”

"You will definitely be able to kill Li Wanshan." Long Wei looked at Qiao Bei, her eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

But he was pierced by Qiao Bei's eyes, shook his head and shouted: "Don't learn from me to make sycophants, when I think of Yin people, it is your current expression." ”

The two of them were pacing idly all the way, Lin Yue and Wu Zhan followed behind unhurriedly, chatting in a low voice, but their eyes glanced out from time to time.

It wasn't until the door of the third master Qiao that Qiao Bei changed his appearance, pushed the door in, and shouted: "Third grandfather, little Beiye is here!" ”

"Xiaobei is here?" There were three or four people crowded in the room, and a middle-aged man sat on a low stool, chatting with Qiao Sanye in a low voice, and when he saw Qiao Bei and the four people coming in, he couldn't help but look up.

Qiao Bei was stunned, of course he knew this middle-aged man. I was a little angry in my heart, pretending not to know, squatting in front of Qiao Sanye in the past, and said with a smile: "Third grandpa, what's the matter, why do you still have to find someone to sing today?" ”

"Xiaobei, don't talk nonsense, this is the leader of the city, who specially came to visit me, an old resident." Qiao Sanye was very happy when he saw Qiao Bei, took Qiao Bei's hand and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Leader, this is a capable person of my Qiao family, not only can he make money, but he is also very filial to me, an old guy." ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly at Qiao Bei, got up to greet Long Wei, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Long, I haven't been able to communicate with you in person after coming to the ancient city for so long, it's really rude." ”

"Mayor Hao is humble." Long Wei politely shook hands with Hao Zhenhua.

Qiao Sanye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and when he reacted, he was about to get up but was held down by Qiao Bei, and said with a smile: "Third grandfather, Mayor Hao has a private visit, and you want to give a gift back, isn't that bad for Mayor Hao's original intention of being close to the people?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the mayor of the family, that's the official ...... of the parents," Qiao Sanye hurriedly responded.

Hao Zhenhua didn't care about Qiao Bei's-for-tat words, and smiled at Qiao Sanye: "Old man, how big an official I am, it was also elected by the people, Master Mao said that being an official is to serve the people, you are an old revolutionary, you should be clear about this." ”

"Good, good...... Serve! "Qiao Sanye has a sense of face, and he is so happy that he can't close his mouth.

Hao Zhenhua smiled at Qiao Bei again: "Dong Qiao, in the past few days I have visited the old street, every family can hear your prestige." ”

"I'm a vegetable seller, what's the bullshit name?" Qiao Bei smiled bitterly, he couldn't be like Hao Zhenhua, when nothing happened, and he couldn't easily let go of the pain that was enough to sting his heart thousands of times.

If it weren't for the dog-like person in front of him, he and Hao Jing could be together every day, maybe they were both married now, how happy would they be?

Hao Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Whether it is selling vegetables or being a mayor, it is all for the people." ”

"There is a difference, vegetable sellers can only shrink to the lowest level of society, and they can't even make decisions about their own affairs. Being a mayor is different, not only can you reign in the ancient city, but you can even dominate other people's love, Mayor Hao, isn't it? Qiao Bei was unceremoniously-for-tat.

Qiao Bei really doesn't have a good impression of Hao Zhenhua, if it weren't for him, he would have to be happy now? If it weren't for him, he would not have met Hu Ran, and he would not have been tempted by Hu Ran, and Hu Ran would not have ...... because of this

The more Qiao Bei thought about it, the more he hated.

Hao Zhenhua still kept smiling, looked at Qiao Beiying and said: "Young people should undergo all kinds of tests on the road of life. As the old saying goes: The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin...... If there were no these tests, Qiao Dong might not have been able to achieve his current career, are you right? ”

"Hehe......" Qiao Bei shook his head, not wanting to argue with Hao Zhenhua anymore, in his heart, he felt that every word Hao Zhenhua said was empty words, and like him, it was hypocritical and outrageous.

For countless nights, as long as he thought of Hao Jing, Qiao Bei's hatred for Hao Zhenhua in his heart increased. finally wanted to get out of that strange circle, wanted to live an ordinary life, but caused trouble, perhaps, he was a lonely star, destined to have no marriage in this life.

There was an embarrassment in the room, and the people brought by Hao Zhenhua were slightly surprised, they didn't know that Hao Jing and Qiao Bei had a while, but they didn't expect that Qiao Bei would actually confront Hao Zhenhua, who was the mayor, in person, and they had long been accustomed to all kinds of flattery from others.

It's just that Qiao Bei didn't take Hao Zhenhua in his eyes at all, and he didn't even want to look at him. It seems that as soon as I saw him, I felt a tingling pain in my heart, and the blood in my heart flew sideways.

turned his face, squeezed out a smile and said to Third Master Qiao: "Third Grandpa, I don't have a place to eat today, you have to take care of the meal." ”

"It just so happens that Mayor Hao is also here, everyone is eating at home, so I'll call Osmanthus to buy vegetables! Xiaobei, you can still cure her, and now she comes to see me every day! "The more Qiao Sanye said, the happier he became, his son and daughter-in-law came to see him every day under the control of Qiao Bei, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, the family gathered in Qiao Sanye's house, and it was the same as before, all kinds of filial piety, and let Qiao Sanye enjoy the joy of family again.

Qiao Bei was happy, and he didn't go to talk about this matter deeply, and smiled at Qiao Sanye: "Third grandfather, you are talking nonsense, such a big leader as Mayor Hao, can you eat here?" ”

"Hehe, Qiao Dong, I am also the son of a farmer, and I was also born hard, and I was admitted to university, so I got to where I am now...... Old man, in this way, we will bother today, I will let them go grocery shopping, and we will have a meal at your house at noon today. As soon as Hao Zhenhua's voice fell, the two staff members around him went out.

Qiao Bei scolded in his heart, is this especially going to be a score in front of the master?

Usually high up, a bird can't do it, but now he still has to start a gang at the third grandfather's house? To appear close to the people?

Or is it so special that you will eat today?

It's just that, are you, little masterbird?

"How does this work? I called Osmanthus to buy vegetables......" Qiao Sanye hurriedly stopped.

Qiao Bei took Qiao Sanye's hand, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice with a wicked smile: "Third grandpa, you have to give our mayor a step down, don't you?" Mayor Hao said that he was born in a bitter background, and maybe he has good cooking skills, and he is waiting to show his hand in front of you. ”

"Huh...... The craftsmanship is ok. Hao Zhenhua knew Qiao Bei's demeanor well, but he was not in a hurry at all, so it was difficult for Qiao Bei to continue to squeeze.

What to say, he is also a mayor. also deliberately went down to the grassroots level to visit residents, and he didn't even bring a camera reporter with him, just with this heart, Qiao Bei was also a little unbearable.

Qiao Bei is not afraid of corrupt officials, but respects clean officials.

Although, Qiao Bei is still haunted by his personal grudges.

Qiao Sanye excused himself, but was persuaded by Qiao Bei and Hao Zhenhua together, so he had to give up, and praised Mayor Hao again and again for not losing his old style.

A few people chatted in the house for a while, and the two staff members came back in a hurry after buying vegetables, and also bought grain, oil and other things, and pulled them back with a three-jumper, and kept piling them into the kitchen, Lin Yue and Wu Zhan also went over to help.

After the meat and vegetables were cleaned, Hao Zhenhua really rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do it, Qiao Bei couldn't stand it anymore, and smiled indifferently: "Mayor Hao, let's talk about something else, this kind of trivial matter, let you do it, it's too much of a waste of resources." ”

"Oh? Is there anything else Qiao Dong wants to discuss with me? Hao Zhenhua stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at Qiao Bei.

Qiao Bei couldn't help but scold again in his heart, this was obviously because he liked to come to Qiao Sanye's house, so he came to block himself, but he didn't say a word of truth in his mouth, this mayor, the city government is too deep...... Shaking his head, he said to Hao Zhenhua: "Mayor Hao, let's sit in the courtyard, I want to report to you alone." ”

If you give me face, then I will give you enough face.

"Okay." Hao Zhenhua did not refuse.

Wu Zhan slipped two chairs into the courtyard, Qiao Beiqian sat down, Hao Zhenhua's eyes looked Qiao Bei up and down, Qiao Bei was also looking at him, the two of them knew each other, but they didn't really meet. Even Qiao Bei himself would not have thought that the two would meet in this situation.

It's not embarrassment, it's each with their own hearts.

After brewing for a while, Qiao Bei said bluntly: "Xincheng will no longer participate in the renovation project of Laojie, please Mayor Hao understand the distress of Xincheng." ”

"What else?" Hao Zhenhua asked with a smile.

Qiao Bei couldn't help but scold in his heart, this Hao Zhenhua clearly wanted to talk to himself about the transformation of the old street, but he didn't show his mouth, but he still wanted to let himself be the first to speak?

Master's main purpose now is to overturn the entire Wanshan headquarters, do you have time to pay attention to you? Seeing Hao Zhenhua ask like this, he shook his head and didn't say a word.

Hao Zhenhua nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Qiao Bei, let's talk about it today, right?" From the standpoint of the enterprise, I can understand why you refuse to take over the project of Lao Cai renovation, there are only two points, one is to pursue the highest interests, and the other is that you have to take advantage of the victory and pursue your own business to the provincial capital, right? ”

"I agree with you on the second point." Qiao Bei blinked, thought about it, and replied loudly.

Hao Zhenhua always kept smiling, but at this moment, the two looked at each other head-on, and Qiao Bei felt a feeling of not being angry and arrogant emanating from Hao Zhenhua's body, and this feeling was also vaguely felt in Ling Guofeng's body.

However, at this moment, Hao Zhenhua deliberately disguised his majesty, and said to Qiao Bei very cautiously: "Standing in my position, I hope that Xincheng is a responsible enterprise, not only to pursue profits, but more importantly, to develop the ancient city, the old street must be transformed, otherwise it will hinder the pace of economic development." In other words, Lao Cai itself has to change and adapt to the development of society, do you agree? ”

"Agreed." Qiao Bei nodded.

Hao Zhenhua smiled slightly: "And you, as the person in charge of the new city, are also an old resident of the old street, I believe you will not want to see the old street so dirty and messy forever...... I'm not trying to persuade you to take over the Lao Cai renovation project with the residents of Lao Cai, let's put it this way, you must first understand a truth, the reason why you and Wanshan Group will win in their pursuit of profit is because you are on the side of justice, right? ”

Qiao Bei thought about it and nodded.

"You yourself know that if you don't take over the plan to renovate the old street, in the short term, no one will come to this troubled water, and the result is very simple, that is, the old street is still the way it is. There is no gas, there is no heating, and in winter it still relies on coal-burning stoves, which is dirty everywhere, the house is leaking, and the wiring is aging...... Not to mention other business developments. ”

Qiao Bei still nodded: "Agreed, you continue." ”

"I want you to reconsider from the perspective of the big picture, you're a smart person and know what I'm talking about." Hao Zhenhua nodded to the end.
