A few days later.

Zhang Min sat in a yellow taxi, preparing to go to the city government to get a license to operate an Internet café.

After driving for a while, the taxi slowly stopped on Zhonghua Road, not far from the Xiujiang City Government.

Xiujiang City Hall has a total of 6 entrances, and Zhang Min's taxi stopped at the entrance of the main entrance of the city government.

After passing through a small flower bed, Zhang Min walked to a path made of colored cobblestones, and looked up into the distance.

The magnificent city hall building is not far from where Zhang Min is now, as long as you cross this cobblestone path and pass a fountain square, you will arrive at the entrance of the hall of the city hall.

When Zhang Min got closer, he saw a smiling young man in a white shirt standing in front of the city hall.

"Brother Cao, why are you standing here?" Zhang Min asked forward.

Didn't I just hear that you were coming over soon, it just so happened that I was fine now, so I went out for a walk, and the documents related to the Internet café you want to do have been completed. ”

Cao Yang looked at Zhang Mindao, who walked in front of him.

In fact, how could Cao Yang have such idleness, he couldn't be busy, how could he come out for a walk.

It's all because Mayor Chen Yun heard that Zhang Min immediately came over to get the Internet café business license, and asked the secretary Cao Yang to give him the 20,000 yuan bonus by the way.

After Cao Yang finished speaking, he paused for a while and asked with a concerned smile.

"Zhang Min, when are your Internet cafes going to open, and when they open, I'll give you a show, it's lively!"

Zhang Min stood next to him, he knew how busy the mayor's secretary was, Cao Yang was standing here, there might be other things, but he didn't want to ask too much.

After hearing the inquiry, Zhang Min replied: "It should be opened in a week, the 70 and 100 110 chairs to be purchased by the Internet café have been purchased and placed in the warehouse, and the site has been leased for 2 years in a Zifeng Plaza, and the decoration is almost finished..."

"Oh, you're so vigorous, you can do it all at once."

Cao Yang said with some admiration.

"It's all Sister Qin's credit to be able to do it so quickly, the purchase of sofas and chairs, and the decoration team are all done with Sister Qin's help, I just provide the next idea, Zhang Min responded.

"Oh, is the mayor's wife also involved?" Cao Yang looked at Zhang Min with a little meaning and asked.

"Invested some money." Zhang Min looked at Cao Yang's pensive face and said.

Cao Yang nodded.

Then they chatted for a while, and then walked into the hall on the first floor of the city hall.

"Hello Secretary Cao."

Zhang Min, who was sitting in the elevator, had been hearing this sound since he entered the gate of the city government, and of course the same was true in the elevator.

It's no wonder that Cao Yang, as the mayor's secretary, is not the mayor, but he is also the mayor's side.

Although his rank is only at the level of deputy director, his popularity may be higher than that of those department-level cadres who have no power.

Whether it is a newcomer or a department leader who has already held a heavy position, they all respond to Cao Yang's hot face.

Although you may not get anything, at least you won't leave a bad impression, and when you come to the mayor in the future, you can at least leave a good impression.

So even Zhang Min, who followed behind Cao Yang, seemed to have become a star, attracting the attention of others wherever he went.

Zhang Min, who was walking behind him, was looked at by so many hot eyes, and he still felt a little weird.

So he stepped forward and walked a few steps quickly, smiled at Cao Yang and said, "Brother Cao, you are really popular here!"

Cao Yang looked around and said, "It's not me who they're looking at, it's the people behind me." Then he teased himself, "How can I have that ability!" ”

It didn't take long for Cao Yang to lead Zhang Min into a conference hall.

Seeing that he whispered a few words to a person next to him, the man went out, and it didn't take long for him to bring a cup of tea, and Zhang Min sniffed it.

"Brother Cao, this is Longjing." "You can smell it and know that this is Longjing, amazing.

Cao Yang gave a thumbs up to his right hand and said to Zhang Min.

"The tea aroma of Longjing is still very different from other teas, such as Maojian, Mangosteen, etc., which are too strong when they first smell, while Longjing is not quite large, not thick or light, just right, and there is a taste in the mouth."

So I said, among all the teas, my favorite is Longjing, especially the mountain village Longjing planted in Liulin Town, Xiujiang.

"Oh, I can't see that Zhang Min is still an expert, take a few boxes and walk back when you leave.

Cao Yang took out a chair and turned back to Zhang Min and said approvingly.

"Drink it occasionally, since Brother Cao is so generous, then... One bottle is enough," Zhang Min said with a smile.

Not long after, a man walked in with some documents and 20,000 yuan in cash.

After whispering a few words to Cao Yang's side, he put the things he was holding on the conference table and walked back soon after.

Zhang Min looked at the documents on the table and knew that this should be an Internet café license, industry and commerce, fire protection...

As for the money above, Zhang Min was sure that he didn't remember what the money was for.

Cao Yang's 20,000 yuan had already been taken and looked at, and he waited for the man to leave the conference room.

said to Zhang Min: "Zhang Min, these are all Internet café business licenses, a total of 6, all of which have been stamped,"

Then he picked up 20,000 yuan and handed it to Zhang Min to continue.

"This is the bonus you have given for your righteous and courageous deeds, don't you want to hold some commendation conference, so everything is simple.

"I heard that you are coming over today, so I will help you get the money back, you see if it is enough."

Zhang Min looked at the 20,000 yuan handed over, and he was not too pretentious, and put the money into the black bag.

After all, this money was exchanged for life, if it wasn't for that inexplicable time to slow down, at the speed of the truck at that time, I don't know how many times I died.

After talking about these things, we talked a few words.

Cao Yang stood up and said goodbye.

"Zhang Min, I'll leave first, if you have anything to do later, you can call me."

Cao Yang turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and asked again.

"Do you still have a phone number?"

"Yes, your business card is still in my pocket." Zhang Min replied.

Cao Yang nodded: "Then I'll leave first." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to make a farewell to Zhang Min, and then strode out of the front door, and soon disappeared.

Then Zhang Min also left one after another.

Half an hour later, Zhang Min came to an apartment.

"301 should be here."

Zhang Min looked at the golden Arabic numerals engraved on the door in front of him, and muttered to himself.

After Zhang Min came out of the city government, he was looking for a person who would be the head of the Internet café industry in the future.

There are several main reasons why he can't do it himself: the first Zhang Min is in his third year of high school in September, and he doesn't have so much time to go to an Internet café; Second, although Zhang Min was more familiar with the development of some Internet cafes and Internet cafes in later generations, after all, interlacing is like a mountain.

Moreover, Zhang Min plans to open the Internet café market in Xiujiang City as soon as possible, so he must find a professional talent.

After thinking about it, a figure gradually emerged in Zhang Min's head.

Guo Xuewen, Zhang Min remembered that Guo Xuewen would be an Internet café tycoon in Chuanjiang Province.

In 2013, his Internet café chain industry spread throughout the cities and towns of Chuanjiang Province, with more than 700 Internet cafes of all sizes.

The assets have reached billions, and he is a man of the year in Xiujiang City.

However, these are all later words, and it will take until after 2003 for Guo Xuewen to fully develop.

And now Guo Xuewen should still be living a life like a year, being called for debts every day.

In fact, Guo Xuewen before 2001 was also a small achievement, and opened a garment factory in Xiujiang City.

But because a fire burned all the property, he was in debt.

His wife divorced him because of this, and the child was awarded to Guo Xuewen.

"Knock knock," Zhang Min raised his right hand, and then knocked on the delicate wooden door with the back of his hand.

With a bang, the wooden door was slowly exposed to a crack, revealing half of a human face from the inside, with sharp eyes, looking at the figure outside the door vigilantly, and after observing for a while, he asked lazily: "Who are you looking for?" ”

While asking, he picked up the cigarette he had just finished and took a puff, Zhang Min frowned.

If you hadn't seen Guo Xuewen, who was high-spirited, directing the country, and heroic, the impression of seeing this person was just a depressed smoker.

Although he knew that he was Guo Xuewen, Zhang Min still pretended not to know him and asked: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I am the one who gave you wealth." ”

If it weren't for seeing Zhang Min dressed neatly and with clear eyebrows, he would definitely think that this was a neurotic disease that came out of nowhere, "You send me wealth, give you a ghost."

Then the door slammed shut.

However, after all, Guo Xuewen has studied for a few years, is a cultural person, and has his own qualities.

He looked at the plainly dressed young man with a black shoulder bag in his hand, and always felt an indescribable temperament, and after thinking for a while, he opened all the doors.

Zhang Min stepped in with a black bag, only then did he see the layout inside, the walls inside the house were gray and did not have much decoration.

The overall space of the house is quite large, with three bedrooms and one living room, and a table is tattooed on the right hand side of the entrance door of the hall, which is full of miscellaneous items.

In the corner of the table was a white crystal ashtray, which was already filled with all kinds of cigarette butts that were half-smoked and extinguished.

Zhang Min walked forward, looked at the dusty room, which had obviously not been cleaned for a while, and casually found a red chair and sat down.

looked at a family photo placed next to the ashtray, in which the beautiful wife and Guo Xuewen leaned happily on each other.

The well-behaved little daughter sat in the middle of the couple with a small stool, and the whole family smiled happily at the camera.

After Guo Xuewen brought the door, he turned around and walked a few steps, came to the ashtray, threw the unfinished cigarette into it, and the paper cigarette that was still burning was quickly extinguished under the soak of smoke water.

Raising his head and looking at Zhang Min, who was sitting next to him, he was looking at the family photo on the table.

He frowned slightly, and his face was mixed with a look of pain.

No one knows what Guo Xuewen is thinking at the moment.

After a while, he said to Zhang Min slowly: "This is a family photo of my family, and the smiling person in the photo is my wife." ”

After a pause, he added, "But we're divorced. ”

Zhang Min looked at Guo Xuewen, who was pale and sloppy.

He asked, "Is it because of debt?" ”

Guo Xuewen nodded, turned around and sat on the chair and asked casually: "How do you know, we should have never seen each other, right?" ”
