Chapter 70: The Feast of the Hung Gate

The next day, I don't know if it was a lot of mental exertion, so I slept until noon and didn't get up.

I noticed that my mother's face was obviously a little unhappy during the meal, and when she put down her chopsticks, she began to say to me in a complaining tone: "You kid, it's too worry-free." I introduced you to you, you must not be wrong, although you don't know each other, my mother and I have known each other for many years, we know each other's families very well, people see that you look good, and your work is good, so you are willing to introduce the girl to you without looking at our family conditions, why can't you figure it out? ”

"Mom, I don't want to get married right now."

"Men should get married, women should get married, you have graduated from the academy for so long now, and you won't find a partner to marry, I'll see how you marry after thirty."

"Okay, don't say it, don't you know me, it's useless to say more, I'll talk about it one day."

After that, I felt a little bored and put on my clothes and went out for a walk. There weren't many places to go in the small place, so I decided to go to the bookstore and buy some of my favorite books.

The day-to-day work life is boring, time flies, and it doesn't take long for the Spring Festival to be, and a few days of vacation are dull and unusual.

One morning after the Chinese New Year, when my colleagues from out of town in the office hadn't come yet, I was suddenly notified that I was sent to a meeting that afternoon, about a Neolithic site in our local area that the horse team had mentioned before, and I still remember that the horse team said that it was "fighting" with the developer. I don't know anything about the rest. I didn't know why I was sent to the meeting, so I had to ask my colleague for some information first, and hurried to the venue after eating.

The meeting was at 2 p.m., and I was downstairs at 1:45 p.m. The venue is a star-rated inn, which looks really good from the outside, and it is also the best one we have here.

I was about to go in, suddenly someone walked quickly, mysteriously stuffed me with a letter and left, I was confused, opened it and looked, Su Xiaodong left me a letter, very short, just two words: Don't come.

I stopped my foot in and stepped in, don't come? What the hell, he didn't let me go anywhere. Could it be this meeting? It's impossible, what's the matter with this official department, he can't be in it, right?

I looked around, and there was no yamen car, and I was confused. I became more and more uneasy, seeing that the time passed minute by minute, and soon it was time for the meeting, and I would not go in again, and then talk about responsibility, I was afraid that I would not have to look at the face surnamed Fan again. At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared next to me, and I looked: "Huh, horse team?"

"Why are you here too?" When he saw me, his face was a little surprised, and a smile appeared in his annoyance, after all, the two of us still got along well.

"I was sent here for some reason, and I didn't know anything about it before, so I really don't know what to say, but it's good to have you."

He nodded and said to me: "Today's meeting, I'm afraid it's not simple, we have negotiated several times, before I have been protecting the ruins, preventing them from engaging in real estate development, today said that a lot of officials came, and the place was also selected in such a good place, it seems that they want to give us an ultimatum."

After he heard what he said, he knew in his heart that it was not good, I still remember the act of robbing cultural relics before, and I am afraid that it will not be a good errand to send me today. Thinking of Su Xiaodong's letter, I have the idea of going home. It's not reasonable, it's not a way to retreat, and besides, in broad daylight, what can they do? I followed the horse team into the building.

When I opened the door to the conference room and knocked on the door, I found that although the room was spacious, with good lighting, and only one table, there was no place to stand. Except for a few people sitting at the table, there were people in yamen uniforms all around, and they were all black. There are only two seats left on the table, apparently left for us. And among those few people, the one I know is the prefect's Hu Wen.

Everyone who was standing was standing straight, their eyes were fixed on the two of us, and I was a little hairy. Suddenly, I felt that there was a feeling of going to the yamen, and someone almost shouted "mighty". After I glanced around, I found that Su Xiaodong was in the crowd, looking at me with a very anxious and helpless look. But it's too late to understand now, and now a fool like this knows that it must not be a good thing.

But it's all here, and there's no reason to turn around and leave. The two of us squeezed in through the doorway and took our seats, my heart was beating fast, and the team looked a little calmer than I was.

One stood up with a grin and introduced, "Since everyone is here, please allow me to make an introduction." This is Hu Shu, these are the main department officials of the Yamen, some are in charge of money, some are in charge of land, this is our Boss Wang, and the contemptible person is Boss Wang's clerk. ”

We salute one by one, although those who know the good do not come, the politeness on the scene is indispensable. The horse team said, "I'm the person in charge of the provincial gold and stone area," and he turned his head to me again: "This is a local cultural relics worker."

After the incident, the scene fell into a small cold scene, and I saw that several leaders and deputy leaders had no expressions on their faces, and Hu Wenwen looked at us with some disdain in his eyes.

After a while, the clerk spoke first: "Two, presumably we invite you to a meeting today, and you know the purpose, so let's get straight to the point, to make a long story short, we have already negotiated the price of that piece of land, and several leaders here can prove that they are waiting to start construction now, this is the real estate development in the central area, and Boss Wang also took a lot of effort to win." Could you please give way, prove that it's worthless, and let us break ground sooner? After all, if it opens a day late, our Boss Wang's loss ......"

"No", the tone of the horse team was categorical, interrupting the paperwork: "The excavation of the gold and stone is not finished there, how can you let you dig it first?" He turned his head to the other leaders: "Neolithic sites, there are very few of them here, and now the site has been discovered, if you find another important tomb, at least it is a provincial cultural relics unit, and there is also hope that it will become a national cultural relics unit, which will be very helpful for your future cultural construction here, have you considered this problem?"

They ignored him, as if they hadn't heard. So the scene fell into silence again, and the horse team's words were full of gunpowder, and I didn't expect him to fire first in this case.

The clerk was scolded like this, but his face was not ugly, but he still smiled: "Alas, don't worry, what does our Boss Wang mean, the conditions can be discussed." You don't have to drill into a dead end like this, isn't it a place for the dead, the dead have to make way for the living, you waste so much effort to help the dead fight for something, how boring. ”

The horse team tried to interrupt him again, but he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, listen to me first." If you spend so much energy to hinder us and protect the Neolithic site, then no one will give you any benefit, right, you are completely out of responsibility for your work. Our boss Wang also admires a serious and responsible person like you, so if you are willing to give us a convenience, we will give you this number, and if you are not satisfied, we can talk about it again. With that, he held out five fingers.

I said in my heart that this is the most boring, do you mean five, five hundred, five thousand, fifty thousand, or five hundred and fifty-five million taels?

The horse team snorted and said, "Don't come to this set, you can't give as much as you want, it's not about money!" You don't know ......"

"Enough, don't be embarrassed!" Boss Wang on the side slapped the table and suddenly shouted out such a sentence. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and I felt a sense of oppression that I had not felt in a long time.

Fortunately, this is just acting, Boss Wang and the clerk sang one in black and the other in white, and the clerk hurriedly comforted: "Boss Wang, you drink saliva to dissipate your anger, don't worry, you don't know Captain Ma's temper, I'll tell him."

After that, he turned to the horse team, looked at him with a peacemaker look and said, "Captain Ma, Horse Leader, don't be stubborn, today we must find a solution to this matter, otherwise it will not be a way to keep it on hold, don't you say?" I hope you can understand our difficulties, the development of this kind of thing is a day's money, and you have to pay for the work of Jinshi. Besides, you see that we have carefully arranged it today, and you will also give some face, right? Just when I beg you, you see, make an offer, we will not counteroffer. ”

"I don't care about your business, I don't lack your stinky money, the state has national laws, families have family rules, and the provisions of the cultural relics law are to carry out rescue gold and stone excavations when ancient ruins are discovered, and you can't start construction if you don't get it done in a day, I will never allow you to use large equipment to go in and destroy it, I have told you many times before, this problem has nothing to talk about."

At this time, the leader of the bureau who didn't remember it was spoke up: "Young man, don't talk so impulsively." We can understand your work, but we also hope that you can understand our work, how to develop the economy now, if you don't engage in development and don't do projects. And this is a prime location, it will definitely develop into a prosperous business district in a few years, there is no need to hinder economic and social development for this little thing, it is not difficult for you to prove that this thing has no value, right? Think about your future again. ”

"Needless to say, we won't budge on this, we must dig out first. Xiao Zhou, let's go! With that, the team of horses got up and took their leave.

Then, a woman's sneer came from behind.
