Xiao Jinlang got up very late today, brushed his teeth and washed his face after three o'clock in the morning, and went out to find a stall to buy breakfast. He had planned to go to the city office today to interview some people directly, but he was disheartened and walked along the street.

Tianyang is a very ordinary prefecture-level city, with average transportation and resources, and the industrial and agricultural industries are featureless. It's just that the market has been a lot more lively in the past six months, all because Zhou Qingfeng is constantly throwing money.

The two systems of 'Holy Light' and 'Harmony' make a lot of money, spend money even more, and have great liquidity of funds.

Judging from Xiao Jinlang's investigation, Zhou Qingfeng's money did not run into the hands of a few people, but flowed in a large area. Tens of millions of funds are rolling, and each time it rolls, it creates production value.

It's a powerful driving force.

The Old Town has recently opened several small shops that specialize in consumer goods, such as vegetables brought in by the village waterways, or recycled small second-hand appliances and clothes.

Xiao Jinlang wandered around casually, and when he saw the name of the store 'Harmony and Convenience', he knew who opened it.

The shop is very small, only about 20 square meters. There are two shelves in front of the store, one is fresh vegetables and the other is second-hand clothes. There are some kettles, electric sockets, thermos cups, small electric fans and the like in the shop.

Everything is very cheap, and although the business is not booming, there are many patrons.

Xiao Jinlang paid attention to it and saw several housewives crowded in front of the clothing stall, buying a lot of shabby clothes at a price of catties.

You can buy a lot of rotten cloth for a dollar. These things are suitable for taking home as a mop or as a diaper for children.

The common people in the old city generally do not have a high income and need this kind of cheap goods. As for the countryside, it sells even better.

Xiao Jinlang suddenly felt his heart sour. He always boasted that he came from the countryside, but after graduating from college and staying in the imperial capital, his family was never so frugal.

"Have I forgotten my original intention?"

A child walked into a convenience store, pulled out several Transformers toys from a large box stacked randomly, and happily bought the toys with his pocket money.

Toys are also a large category of recycled items. There are all kinds of them, and some of them are also sold after cleaning and disinfection.

The child who bought the toy smiled happily and blushed. Xiao Jinlang, who was standing outside the store, was originally gloomy, but he was amused by this smile.

The phone rang suddenly......

Xiao Jinlang took out the phone from his coat and frowned when he looked at the number. He reluctantly answered and shouted 'Hey'.

The editor-in-chief of the imperial capital laughed and said that he seemed to be very happy, "Lao Xiao, your business in Tianyang can be over." ”

"What?"

"That's right. The problem reported by the masses before was really a misunderstanding. Enterprises such as 'Harmony Supermarket' that deals in second-hand goods are all operating legally.

The formalities are formal, the licenses are complete, and the goods sold are also purchased from HK through normal channels. Some people in the local area have pink eye, and it is not uncommon for them to react indiscriminately. ”

Xiao Jinlang was anxious when he heard this. After checking for half a month, is it legal and compliant, can he know?

"Editor-in-chief, this question cannot be ambiguous......

"Lao Xiao, everyone in the city and the province have called us to communicate. Don't be stubborn.

That Mr. Zhou called me directly to explain the situation, and his attitude was still very good. He also said that he wanted to meet you and get to know you. ”

"What? See me? How does he know about me? ”

Xiao Jinlang is not cold, but frightened. He has been an undercover reporter for so many years, and what he is most afraid of is that his identity will be exposed, which is very dangerous.

"Old Xiao, don't be afraid. They are very regular companies, very normal operations, and very decent foreign businessmen. It's good for you to meet up, and they'll be waiting at the hotel where you're staying. ”

The editor-in-chief also comforted Xiao Jinlang in turn. Listening to the tone, he was quite happy, and it seemed that there was one less trouble.

Lao Xiao was shocked and angry, but helpless. He can hear it, this must be the leak of the news in that place, and the subject of the investigation has investigated him in reverse.

It's a good thing, it's really a busy day.

I can't go shopping, so I can only go back to the small hotel.

Zhou Qingfeng was at the front desk of the hotel, petting the cat with one hand and laughing with the boss and the hostess.

When Xiao Jinlang came back, several people stopped talking.

The innkeeper secretly glanced at him and signaled that this was the one he was looking for.

Zhou Qingfeng sat on a chair and looked up. The two sides met unexpectedly.

Xiao Jinlang's appearance is very ordinary, and he is inconspicuous when thrown in the crowd, and he will not leave any deep impression. He was no different from the middle-aged people you see everywhere in the city.

In Xiao Jinlang's eyes, Zhou Qingfeng is too unique. The president is too young and over-sharp, as if he was on the rise, attracting attention but also difficult to look at.

When the two met for the first time, they were a little surprised.

Zhou Qingfeng stood up and said with a smile: "Reporter Xiao, it's really not easy to find you. Can you show me the black notebook in your upper left breast pocket? ”

Xiao Jinlang stood still, his expression was as ugly as it was. He had dealt with many vicious criminals, but he had never met anyone who could investigate him in turn and investigate him so carefully.

Calming down, Xiao Jinlang walked over slowly and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Zhou, it's better to meet than to be famous." I am Xiao Jinlang. How did you find me? ”

"I've been talking to your leaders for a long time, and I've asked people to look into your resume, and I know that your reports have exposed many serious local problems in the past ten years.

Some people lost their official positions because of you, some people went to jail because of you, and some people ate guns because of you. More people are secretly clamoring to buy your head. But you're still very active.

The uncrowned king, it's really amazing.

As for how I found you, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I found you. ”

Zhou Qingfeng still pointed to Xiao Jinlang's chest, "Reporter Xiao, your leader said that you like to bring a small notebook with you to make records, can you show me?" ”

Xiao Jinlang suddenly felt weak.

The old bottom is known, and the editor-in-chief in the imperial capital really regards Xiao Jinlang as an outcast. He had to take the black notebook out of the pocket of his jacket on his left chest and hand it over.

The notebook changes hands, and the pages are opened.

A minute or two later, Zhou Qingfeng raised his notebook and said with a sigh: "Reporter Xiao, you are really amazing." There are some things that I don't know even well, but you know more than I do. ”

Xiao Jinlang frowned, and thought about it a lot in an instant. He couldn't guess Zhou Qingfeng's intentions, so he could only calm down.

Zhou Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "I admire you for being born and dying in peacetime. There are not many people of your character. ”

"There aren't many eccentric young people like you." Xiao Jinlang said with a straight face: "I don't know whether to praise you or sue you?" ”

"How should I praise me?" Zhou Qingfeng solved the trouble and asked with a relaxed smile.

Xiao Jinlang didn't even think about it, "You are very good at making money and spending money, and you can toss things." ”

"How do you sue me?"

"Can I sue you now?"
