In the past, I always thought that shopping with women passed the slowest time, but today I know that what is more important than shopping with women is to wait for the leader to talk. I arrived at the gate of the municipal party committee compound at nine o'clock, I thought it would be almost enough to wait for 30 minutes, but I didn't expect to wait for almost two hours outside stupidly!

If it weren't for Zhao Zilong chatting with me here, I guess I would have been able to sleep directly!

At about eleven o'clock, the door of the municipal party committee compound opened, and three Mercedes-Benz rushed out of it and passed by my Land Rover, Zhao Zilong sat up straight: "Master, prepare to go in." ”

"Go in and get a yarn, Mayor Zhao hasn't called yet." I said.

"The guests are gone, and within a minute, the call to let you in will come right away." Zhao Zilong said with a smile.

Don't look at Zhao Zilong's usual unreliability, he still has eyesight. Sure enough, as he said, as soon as the three Mercedes-Benz passed, Mayor Zhao's phone called.

Since it was not early, I shirked and said that I would come back tomorrow, but I was refused. So, in desperation, I had to say hello to the doorman and drove into the compound of the municipal party committee.

The compound of the municipal party committee looks like a slightly more upscale community, but it is only heavily guarded. However, this is only the surface, who knows if there is a large group of people living in front of them under the guise of serving the people, but behind them are some male thieves and female prostitutes?

Under the guidance of Zhao Tianhe, we went up to the eighteenth floor and knocked on the door of the old governor's room. The door was opened by a middle-aged woman in her thirties, who smiled at us and let us in.

The old governor's room is not very big, about 100 square meters, and the decoration is not luxurious, the average level. The living room was filled with thick smoke, and it seemed that the guests had just left.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, this is your prospective son-in-law, right?" The old man sitting in the center looked like he was in his sixties, although he was full of silver hair, but his momentum was undiminished, he looked at me and Zhao Zilong, and couldn't help but smile: "The guy behind him is also interesting, he is wearing a padded jacket on his upper body, but he is wearing a pair of big flower pants on his lower body, this is a poor person who can't even wear pants?" ”

Zhao Tianhe's eyes also fell on Zhao Zilong, shook his head and smiled: "Old leader, maybe this is young people's performance art." Hehe, Yu Wang, why don't you come to say hello to the old governor? ”

"Old Governor, Mayor Zhao, hello." I hurried over and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything, so I bought two cigarettes downstairs by the way...... Don't be surprised. ”

"Nonsense, you are clearly bribing the leader!" Zhao Tianhe glared at me.

"Heh, I'm not a leader now." The old governor smiled very kindly: "Soft China, not bad, not bad." Come, come, sit, stand, what? ”

Zhao Zilong and I sat down opposite the old governor, and before I could speak, the old governor said to the middle-aged woman who opened the door: "Xiao Zhang, I chatted with those little calves for a long time just now, and I was a little hungry." You prepare a few dishes a little, and by the way, take out a few bottles of thatched milk from my room, and I'll have a few drinks with them. ”

"Okay." The middle-aged woman said yes and went to the kitchen to get busy.

"Old governor, don't bother, right?" I'm a little apprehensive.

"How?" The old governor looked at me with a smile: "Is it that now that your net worth has skyrocketed, you can't look down on home-cooked dishes?" Hey, that's no trick, we're poor, but we can't afford to go to the West Lake Hotel. ”

"Hey, old governor, that's not what our master meant." Seeing that I was a little cramped, Zhao Zilong grinned and said, "He thinks that being so late will affect your old man's rest!" ”

"It's only eleven o'clock, it's supper time, and my old bones can still hold on." The old governor smiled and said, "Yu Wang, Tianhe told me everything about you...... Well...... How to say it, I personally feel deeply guilty about your imprisonment, but I hope you don't blame Tianhe, in officialdom, many times you can't help yourself. ”

The old governor actually said something like this, which surprised me a little: "It's been so long, I don't remember it for a long time." Besides, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be where I am today...... Maybe it's a bit arrogant to say anything about achievements in front of you, but I am content to be able to develop like this in this life. ”

"From penniless to billionaire, this is an achievement in front of anyone!" The old governor nodded with satisfaction: "Tianhe and I have already studied, this week to launch the selection of the top ten most influential young people in Fujian Province, the results will be released on Sunday and the award ceremony will be held, can you attend?" ”

"Ah-" Although Zhao Tianhe had already told me in advance, I was still a little surprised to hear the old governor say this. After a slight hesitation, I shook my head and said, "Old Governor...... I'm a pro gamer, and I've been doing so much in the game lately, so I'm afraid I don't have much time. ”

"I knew it." The old governor was quite generous: "However, even if you don't have time, you have to send someone to receive the award...... Well, but forget about this little brother, after all, it is a formal occasion, and wearing big pants has a bad impact. ”

The old governor's casual joke made us all laugh out loud, and I suddenly felt that in fact, the old governor seemed to be no different from the old man next door?

After waiting for a long time, the middle-aged woman brought out a few side dishes from the kitchen, peanuts, water spinach, clams, steamed squid, and three bottles of thatched milk, which were very simple, but also very expensive.

"Come on, one bottle per person tonight, no one is allowed to leave until they finish drinking!" The old governor was very interested, and while handing me the wine, he smiled and said, "Yu Wang, you kid is not bad!" I watched CCTV5's program tonight, and even that Director Li spoke highly of you! ”

"It's all in the game, it's not a big deal." I laughed.

"Very good, the young man is very modest!" The old governor smiled with some regret: "It's a pity, my age is not suitable for playing games...... Hey, I think we also had a martial arts dream at the beginning! ”

"Old governor, you are modest, you enter the game now, I'm afraid we may not be your opponents." I got a naked ass.

"Haha, that's what you said, I'll buy a helmet tomorrow, if I can't beat you in a one-on-one PK, don't blame me for being mad with you in reality!" The old governor laughed heartily.

The old governor has been very enthusiastic since we entered the door, and the topic has always revolved around virtual competition, and with a few glasses of wine, I have more words, and the atmosphere is very, very harmonious.

When the wine and food on the table were almost cleaned up, and the time was ticking closer, the old governor suddenly changed his face and said solemnly: "Yu Wang, I heard that your Haitian Group has merged the original Bay Hotel?" ”

"Old governor, the word annexation is not very appropriate." I said, "Regular purchase." ”

"It's all the same." The old governor looked at me: "Passed through business before? ”

"Nope." I shook my head.

"Then I'll tell you." The old governor was very serious: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. ”

"I know." I'm a little weird.

"Heh, someone bought off a woman next to a certain boss and arranged a perfect set, which led to a case. Then he did not hesitate to use a huge amount of energy to dredge up all kinds of relationships and let that boss go to prison, have you ever seen this kind of thing before? The old governor's face was flushed, but there was a light in his eyes that I couldn't fathom.

My heart trembled, girl, although I didn't say it explicitly, but I was basically referring to Wudao and Ziqi dealing with Ximen Xiaoqing!

"If you really think that this is a mall, or that malls are nothing more than that, then you are very wrong." The old governor sighed: "The tip of the iceberg, not even the tip of the iceberg. The game in the shopping mall involves officials at all levels and underworld forces, and if you want to go further on this road, you must make all kinds of preparations. ”

I was silent, but Zhao Zilong, who didn't drink a sip of wine next to me, smiled and said, "Hey, old man, why do I think you're scaring my master?" The old governor seems to have something to say, what do you know, can I also share my opinion? ”

"Well, you say." The old governor smiled and looked at Zhao Zilong curiously.

"Trouble the old governor to tell those who are engaged in moths, my master is a good person who does his duty, and he hasn't done anything bad, don't come to find things out in three days?" Zhao Zilong pouted indifferently and said: "Isn't it just a game, a conflict of interests, come in a dignified manner, don't engage in some crooked ways." Otherwise, be careful to kick it on the iron plate! ”

"The origin of the little brother doesn't seem simple?" The old governor frowned.

"In front of the old governor, what do we have to do?" Zhao Zilong said with a smile.

"Huh." The old governor smiled faintly and said, "Yu Wang, don't think it's ugly, the means in the mall are endless, even Tianhe, even I can't cover you." ”

"Old governor, I don't understand." I asked, "I asked myself if I didn't do anything illegal, I was doing business normally, why should someone else cover it?" And I believe you know better than me that Mayor Zhao will not do anything that violates his principles! ”

"A knife that kills people and sees blood is not necessarily a good knife, but a soft knife really hurts." The old governor smiled at me and said, "You're right, Mayor Zhao won't do anything that goes against the principle, and neither will I." But...... Somebody calls me and asks me to have a late-night snack and a chat, and I can't say no—I'm sure you understand. ”

"Hongmen Banquet?" Three words came to my mind, and I said them out of my mouth.

"Hongmen Banquet? Doesn't count, does it? The old governor said very sincerely: "At least I think both of you are good, if there is anything Tianhe will not help you in the future, you can call me." ”

As he spoke, the old governor took out two business cards: "Although I am retired, I still have some residual energy." Call me if there's anything going on in reality, but if it's somewhere else...... I can't do anything about it. ”

Mu Ran took the old governor's business card, I was a little confused, girl, it seems that there is something on my neck?
