After Cao Wuping became the deputy mayor, he was too busy with work and rarely went home, and sometimes when he came back, he sat and left, and hardly ate at home. Mother Liu Fengzhu had an opinion, saying that her eldest son was too big to be an official, and he didn't even recognize the family. Not only at home, but also with the neighbors, it is not a pretentious show-off, but a very real complaint, and sometimes tears are wiped. At this time, Cao Xinli always said that this is called loyalty and filial piety, and it is impossible to blame Wu Ping.

That afternoon, Cao Xinli went to the mine, and Liu Fengzhu was listening to the radio saying that Cao Wuping, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, was inspecting the work of the Jinlong Group in Minjiao County. ”

Liu Fengzhu was very surprised and very happy, and responded again and again, preparing to go to the street to buy vegetables, and asked her son: "Who else do you invite?" ”

Cao Wuping said: "Please ask my brother to succeed." ”

Liu Fengzhu was even happier: "Okay, okay, you two brothers should really sit together." Wu Cheng likes to eat the fish I make, so I immediately went to the market to buy two and came back. ”

Cao Wuping stopped his mother and said, "Don't go anywhere, just go to the big canteen in the mine to get some frozen pig lungs and frozen pig pancreas, Wu Cheng likes to eat this, I know." ”

Liu Fengzhu realized that Cao Wuping's face was wrong, so he asked, "Do you also know about the deal that Wucheng and the mine made?" ”

Cao Wuping didn't answer, looked at the watch on his wrist and asked, "Why hasn't Wucheng come back yet?" ”

Liu Fengzhu slapped his hand and said, "How do I know this?" It's not that you don't know, your brother opened a joint company to do business all over the world, and he is a busy person like you, and he doesn't have a festival every year, what is he doing when he comes back? ”

Cao Wuping said with a dark face: "I had a good phone call with his secretary Ma in the morning and asked him to come back." If he dares not to come back to see me today, he will have his good looks. ”

Liu Fengzhu asked worriedly: "Is Wucheng and the mine doing this business under your banner again?" ”

Cao Wuping said: "He doesn't dare. I have stated on many occasions that I do not have such a shameless brother. ”

Liu Fengzhu said: "This is too much. What did he really do wrong, you should be a brother, you should be criticized, you should be scolded, how can you not recognize your own brother? ”

Cao Wu calmed the fire and complained: "Mom, don't protect him all the time, if you continue to protect him, he will even dare to lie to you!" This time he lied to my father, deceived Shengli Mine, and made a big mess. More than 30 people from Shengli Mine jointly filed a lawsuit, saying that my father and Cao Wucheng's joint company partnered with the pit people, and I was also involved. Mom, tell me, do I, the deputy mayor, still have a face?! ”

Liu Fengzhu was scared and hurriedly asked, "Does your father know about this?" ”

Cao Wuping said: "How does he know? The letter of complaint was sent directly to the municipal party committee. Secretary Xiao Daoqing came to me last night and showed me the letter. Two cents a pound of old frozen pig lungs, his bastard thing is sold to the mine for more than a pound, what is this?! Can people not suspect my father?! ”

When it came to the face of the party secretary's husband and the mayor's son, Liu Fengzhu was serious, didn't say anything more, and went to the mine according to Cao Wuping's explanation.

Before going out, Cao Wuping said again: "Tell my father to come back too, and as soon as our Cao Wucheng and Mr. Cao arrive, I will work on the spot at the dinner table!" I can't drag it out too long, and I have to go back to the city at seven o'clock in the evening for the mayor's office meeting. ”

As soon as his mother Liu Fengzhu left, Cao Wuping fell into irritable thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more he hated Cao Wucheng. This indisputable younger brother is clearly destroying his reputation and future, and he even thinks that Cao Wucheng is deliberate, and Cheng is determined to embarrass him. As a cadre from a miner without any background or background, how difficult it is for him Cao Wuping to get to where he is today! In the two compounds of the municipal party committee and the north and south of the city, he never said a word, never took a step forward, and really had the mentality of Sister Lin when she first entered Jiafu. He worked hard and hard, so he was afraid that others would gossip, but today he still let Xiao Daoqing find the door! Could it be that this brother born to one mother is really his enemy?!

At this time, a car horn sounded at the door, and after a while, Cao Wucheng entered the house with his mobile phone and briefcase. Cao Wucheng followed the glamorous female secretary Ma Haohao as usual. Ma Hao was carrying a brand-name leather Xiaokun bag imported from Italy, and tried his best to make a solemn appearance, but Cao Wuping didn't think Ma Hao looked like a prostitute.

Cao Wucheng entered the door and said, "Mayor Cao, I heard that you were going to meet me in your busy schedule, so I threw down a business of hundreds of thousands of yuan and came on time." ”

Cao Wuping looked at his watch and asked coldly, "What time did I ask you to come?" ”

Cao Wucheng said: "Didn't you say six o'clock? It's only 5:40. ”

Cao Wuping said: "I'm talking about five o'clock! ”

Cao Wucheng turned his face to Ma Haohao and asked, "Is it five o'clock?" How do you say six? The leaders of the municipal party committee are very busy, do you know? How can we delay the precious time of the leaders of the municipal party committee? This is your dereliction of duty, and I will deduct this month's bonus. ”

Ma glanced at Cao Wucheng and said to Cao Wuping: "Mayor Cao, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. He drank too much at noon and slept until almost four o'clock before getting up, and if it wasn't for my urging, he wouldn't have come at all. ”

Cao Wucheng smiled at this time: "Brother, why do you say that German devils can drink so much?" At noon, three catties of 'Wuliangye' were not enough. ”

Ma Hao Hao said again: "He is again." I'm also here at noon, where are the German devils? He drank it with the director of the meat factory, Wang. ”

Cao Wuping waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, it's good if you can come, I have some serious things to talk to you about." ”

Cao Wucheng asked: "Is there anything good to take care of our joint company?" ”

Cao Wuping said: "Of course there are good things. The city wants to raise some funds to solve the problem, do you want to donate two to me? ”

Cao Wucheng smiled: "I also want to ask you, the mayor, to help me solve my difficulties!" Now the triangular debt is too serious, and we are really overwhelmed. ”

Cao Wuping sneered: "Your business is so good, and you are still overwhelmed? The frozen large intestine and frozen pig lungs that the meat factory can't sell are all sold by you? I, the deputy mayor, am also your beneficiary. At noon, I ate at Jinlong Group in Hedong Village, tasted your pig intestine, and tasted your frozen pig lungs tonight. It is said that the taste is good, and it has been exported to Eastern Europe and Russia? Earned foreign exchange and earned a lot of dollars? ”

Cao Wucheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Brother, don't mention this." I've forgotten about it, and I don't sell pigs anymore. In fact, it is not easy to sell, there is no domestic market, and there is no international market. I'm now in the high-tech industry and I'm going to sell projectors for the Republic of Korea. ”

Cao Wuping didn't want Cao Wucheng to slide over, he didn't care about Cao Wucheng's so-called high-tech at all, slapped the table, and said bluntly: "Enough, my Mr. Cao!" What you do yourself, you know for yourself. I don't care about other bad things now, the matter of Shengli Mine, I have to take care of it today, you can spit out as much as you pit others! ”

Cao Wucheng also shouted: "Who did I trap?" I am helping the mine to solve the difficulties, but also to help the meat factory to solve the difficulties, this is a matter of the three parties, there are contracts! Don't say you're just a deputy mayor, even Wu Mingxiong, the secretary of the municipal party committee, can't control me! ”

Cao Wuping didn't expect Cao Wucheng to be so tough, his face turned white, but it was not good to get angry and scold in front of Ma Hao, and he lost the demeanor of a leader, so he eased his tone and said: "Wucheng, I am not talking to you as a deputy mayor now, but talking to you as your brother." Think about it, think about it, think about two questions: First, at such a difficult time for the victorious miners, is it reasonable for you to do this in your conscience? Second, our father is the secretary of the mine party committee of Shengli Mine, and I am the deputy mayor of the industry, what impact will it have? Have you ever thought about the effect on me? ”

Cao Wucheng did not recognize the identity of Cao Wuping's brother, smiled coldly, and said: "Vice Mayor Cao, I can answer you without thinking: First, the commodity economy must be done according to the law and according to the economic contract, and there is no problem of conscience. If the sale Victory Mine thinks I'm a fraud, they can sue me in court. Second, our father is his party secretary, and you are your deputy mayor, which has nothing to do with me, a businessman, and you have never used your power to help me, so why should I be responsible for your reputation now? Besides, you've said in many places that you've never had a copper-smelling brother like me. So, how can I influence you, the leader of the municipal party committee, who is upright and upright?! ”

Cao Wuping really wanted to slap Cao Wucheng twice as a brother, but Cao Wucheng called Cao Wucheng one by one. Cao Wuping darkened his face and showed the majesty of the deputy mayor: "Very good." Very good, Mr. Cao, you said it very well, I, the deputy mayor, never thought that your joint company could act in accordance with the law everywhere. That's good, I'll ask the industrial and commercial bureau to check from your company's superior department to see what is going on with your leather bag company. ”

Cao Wucheng immediately said: "Don't check, I can tell you right now, since you scolded me last year, I changed the court and took refuge in Weihu Mountain." My current supervisor is no longer in Pingchuan, but at 456 Shennan Avenue, Shenzhen, known as Pacific (International) Group Corporation, I have to go there once a year to pay the management fee. ”

Cao Wuping said: "So, all kinds of taxes and fees are also paid well, right? You Cao Wucheng know the law so well, you definitely won't evade taxes, right? Director Wang of the Municipal Taxation Bureau often goes to chat with you, presumably you are very welcome? ”

Ma Hao panicked, and hurriedly said to Cao Wuping: "Mayor Cao, don't come here." Which company doesn't make a fuss about taxes and avoid taxes now? ”

Cao Wucheng said: "I'm not afraid of this, even if I am found to have evaded taxes?" My brother who was the mayor can afford to lose this face, can't I afford to lose this face?! ”

Cao Wuping was so angry that his face turned white, his hands trembled, and he pointed at Cao Wucheng and scolded: "You...... You're a scoundrel! ”

At this moment, Cao Xinli and Liu Fengzhu entered the door one after the other.

When Cao Xinli saw Cao Wucheng, he didn't say a word, and rushed up with a big slap, which made Cao Wucheng fall crookedly in Ma Haohao's arms.

The horse was so frightened that he hid in the corner.

Cao Xinli also pointed at Cao Wucheng's nose and scolded: "You shameless thing, it's not enough for you to be embarrassed by yourself, but also to make me and your brother follow you to embarrass and let the workers sue the city." Your brother will teach you the Fa, but Lao Tzu will not teach you the Fa! If you dare not pay the 200,000 yuan of tile money, Lao Tzu will use the family method to break your dog's leg and let you climb out from here. ”

Cao Wucheng softened at this time, covered his face and said, "Where did you get 200,000?" When the pigs went into the water, you ate them for nothing? ”

Cao Xinli said: "I have asked you about the price of pig lungs and pig pancreas, and it is only 400 yuan a ton." We recognize this money, including shipping. ”

Ma said tentatively: "Total, you have to give us a little management fee, right?" ”

Cao Xinli didn't pay attention to Ma Hao at all.

Ma Haohao wanted to say something more, but Cao Wucheng was already disheartened and stopped Ma Haohao from saying: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk to them again, are they doing business?" They are using power to oppress people and use feudal patriarchy to slander people! How can I reason with you! Then he turned his face around again and said to Cao Xinli and Cao Wuping, "Okay, okay, I'll serve you." I haven't planted it in Shenzhen, but today it's in the hands of your two feudal parents. I declare here: From now on, I will do a penny of business with you again, and I will not be surnamed Cao! ”

Cao Xinli said: "You shouldn't have been surnamed Cao for a long time!" You Cao Wucheng said that his surname is Cao, and I Cao Xinli dare not say that my surname is Cao! ”

Cao Wucheng said: "Okay, I'll go, in the future, I will never go to this door again." ”

Liu Fengzhu, who had been worried, hurriedly stepped forward to pull her youngest son: "Wucheng, what are you talking nonsense?" Your brother came here for you today, and he said he wanted to have a drink with you. ”

Cao Wucheng said: "Mom, our Mayor Cao is setting up a Hongmen banquet!" With that, Cao Wucheng pulled the horse and was about to go out.

Cao Wuping shouted: "Slow." ”

Cao Wucheng turned around at the door and asked, "What's wrong again?" ”

Cao Wuping said: "Mr. Cao, you know the law so well, why did you forget to leave the note?" If you want to admit it when you go out, what should you do with Mine Chief Xiao and Secretary Cao? ”

Cao Wucheng had no choice but to write down the notes honestly, stating that he would pay off a total of 180,000 yuan within a month.

Liu Fengzhu looked at Cao Wucheng with tears in her eyes, and wanted to keep her youngest son for a while, so she said again when Cao Wucheng was writing notes: "Even if you want to leave, you have to eat before leaving." ”

Cao Wuping also said: "Yes, these meat products are brought, and you don't want to taste them yourself?" ”

Cao Wucheng ignored his mother and only said to his brother: "I can't create a new loss of state-owned assets." He also said, "Mayor Cao, I think you bureaucrats will eat less, and there will be hope for our country." ”

Cao Wuping laughed: "I can't imagine that our Mr. Cao can say such a thing about the country and the people." ”

Cao Wucheng said: "Don't think that you are worried about the country and the people as officials. We, the common people, know better the difficulty of reform and the hateful ...... of feudalism."

After Cao Wucheng left, Cao Wuping asked about the work of Shengli Mine.

Cao Xinli immediately reported Zhuang Qunyi's joint procurement plan to Cao Wuping, and as soon as the report was completed, Cao Xinli said: "Wuping, since you became an official in the city, I have never looked for you to go through the back door, this time, I will go through your back door once, no matter what, you have to approve this joint procurement matter." ”

Cao Wuping smiled and said, "Actually, if you don't go through my back door, I have to approve it." Wanshan Group Zhuang Qunyi is a good idea, which is beneficial to the country, the people, and both of you. The joint procurement can be done completely in accordance with the methods of township and town enterprises, and it must be revitalized. After that, Cao Wuping asked in surprise, "Dad, why did your thinking suddenly change?" Why did you put down the shelves of the big state-owned mines and cooperate with the peasant brothers? ”

Cao Xinli said: "Zhuang Qunyi, where are they still farmers? They have already become workers, and they are the new type of workers created by the reform and opening up in the past ten years! Workers are not born, and if you look up to the three generations, which of us is not a farmer? ”

Cao Wuping nodded and said, "Your concept is good, even I think it's fresh." However, it seems that it is not accurate enough. Zhuang Qunyi: They still have contracted fields, and the positioning of the new type of workers does not make sense in theory. ”

Cao Xinli said honestly: "It doesn't work, this concept is all Zhuang Qunyi." I thought about it, and I felt that what he said also had some truth, so I told you, the city leader. However, even so, I still feel that I can't keep up with the era of the commodity economy, and I want to retire as I get older. ”

Cao Wuping was stunned: "Dad, have you really figured it out, or are you tempting me?" ”

Cao Xinli said seriously: "I really figured it out, I think the party secretary of Shengli Mine can let Xiao Yuejin concurrently, let him grasp it with one hand, and engage in joint mining with Zhuang Qunyi's Wanshan Group on the one hand, and at the same time carry out production conversion contracting, so that after two years, maybe the situation will gradually improve." ”

Cao Wuping pondered for a while and said: "I think it's okay, you are sixty-one years old this year, and you have to retire according to the regulations. ”

As soon as his son said this, Cao Xinli felt sad in his heart, and asked, "Wuping, are you ...... Tell you what you want, is your father really bad? Is the secretary of the mine party committee incompetent for so many years? ”

Cao Wuping looked at his old father's gorgeous hair, and he was also emotional: "Dad, no one said that you are incompetent as the party secretary, but your age has arrived early." Last year, I advised you to quit, but you didn't do it, and the mess of Shengli Mine was difficult to clean up, so I stayed for an extra year, and as a result, you were sick all over, and I felt sad when I thought about it. ”

Cao Xinli said: "Wu Ping, don't coax my old man, tell me the truth, can I still adapt to the current commodity economy society?" ”

Cao Wuping said: "You can still adapt to changing your concept, right?!" ”

Cao Xinli twisted his neck and said, "There are some things that I really can't adapt to!" Let's just say Wu Cheng, what kind of thing is he? Why did he send it? Knowing that he was cheating people, we didn't rule him down, but he was scolded as a feudal parent. Is this also called the commodity economy? ”

Cao Wuping said: "Cao Wucheng is exploiting the loopholes of policies and laws, and it has nothing to do with the commodity economy, and with the increasing improvement of the legal system, this kind of thing will gradually decrease......

This night, the son who is the executive vice mayor and Lao Tzu, who is the secretary of the party committee of the mine, talked a lot, until Cao Wuping's driver Xiao Zhang came to pick up Cao Wuping to have a mayor's office meeting, and the father and son were still drinking and talking at the table.

When Cao Wuping got up to leave, Cao Xinli once again said: "Wuping, my father's words this time count, and I will report to the city in a few days." ”

Cao Xinli, who sent away his son and had been the secretary of the mining party committee for 18 years, was hazy in front of him, and couldn't help but shed old tears on his face......
