338 Seek a way to survive together
The bidding meeting for the planning of the new city in Jiangnan Province, which had been suspended several times, was finally belatedly met with everyone.
From three or four o'clock in the morning, a large wave of media reporters came to the riverside one after another, squatting and guarding. Although they don't have the good fortune and hard connections of the Global Daily, they can enter the infield to do exclusive reports. But by the river, taking a photo of those celebrities and magnates stepping into a luxury cruise ship is also a guarantee of sales. It's better to talk than nothing, than to be empty-handed.
In Jiangnan Province in autumn, the morning is still a little cold. Pedestrians put up their collars and walked away from the riverside quickly. It's not because of anything else, it's just because of the rows of armed police standing by the river, it's scary to look at.
Around noon, the riverside began to be lively. The celebrities and dignitaries have not yet appeared, but the staff in charge of service reception have already begun to prepare for entering the cruise ship.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a grand scene. Tourists who don't know still think that there will be some event held by the riverside today.
This bidding meeting is the highlight of the province. It's not just about Ye Tezhu's political achievements, but also about the hundreds of cadres and leaders under him who are waiting to increase their political achievements and improve their political performance. It can be said that the planning of this new city is a great gift from Ye Tezhu to his hometown and to Jiangnan Province. From investment promotion, to planning plans, to detailed implementation, Ye Chengshu has been determined before he returns.
For Jiangnan Province, as long as you gratefully accept this gift from Ye Chengshu. A superfluous word doesn't need to be worried about Jiangnan Province.
Officialdom is like this, if one person moves his position, a large number of cadres will change his position. This is known as the butterfly effect. Take Zhang Deliang and Wen Hansheng as examples. Zhang Deliang retired, and Wen Hansheng was promoted from the provincial party committee to the provincial department and became the governor. Then, the position of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is vacant. Someone added, and the place to replenish that person was vacant. Someone else will add and then vacate the place. And so on and so forth, step by step. At the grassroots level, wouldn't even an ordinary clerk benefit?
The officialdom of Jiangnan Province was excited because of this belated bidding meeting. Regardless of the size of the official position, everyone always has some thoughts and plans of one kind or another in their hearts. If it is done well, the officialdom of the entire Jiangnan Province will benefit. If it is not done well, there will still be the big boss above, what does it have to do with the people under them? They just have meat to eat, no meat to drink soup, not even soup, then the emphasis is on participation. A lucrative deal.
But Uncle Liu and his old friends are not in a good mood today. It's a bit bad, so to speak. He has lived in Jiangnan Province for 52 years, and has been exercising by the river for more than 10 years. But today, the place where he and his old partner have always exercised in the morning has been blocked! There are also armed police guards, and no one is allowed to enter. This made Uncle Liu depressed today.
"Old Gu, I'm really angry!"
As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Liu was furious.
Gu Huaien flashed out of the bedroom with a blanket on his face, his face confused, "Old classmate, what's wrong?" It's so atmospheric early in the morning. β
"What else can I do, the place for square dancing is blocked! said that you are not allowed to approach, and you want to ensure the safety of some bullshit. β
Gu Huaien was stunned for a moment, then laughed lowly, and personally poured a cup of tea for his old classmate, and then said: "No matter how you don't watch the news, you should know that the planning of the new city is going to start a bidding meeting, right?" Today, it is the holding of the bidding meeting. That's why the riverside was blocked. β
"Hey, I remember you mentioning that." Uncle Liu's anger seemed to have faded a little, "By the way, Ye Tezhu in the province is the only son of the Ye family, and he has had an affair with your wild seeds." I said that your wild seed is really powerful, and the men you seduce are more capable than the other. What's the matter, when will she seduce the governor back? β
"Lao Liu!" Gu Huaien's expression sank, and he scolded coldly; "Be careful when you speak! You are all elders, how can you talk like this! β
Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand that it was okay to joke like this usually, how could he make Lao Gu Sheng so atmospheric today.
It seemed that he also felt that his tone was a little heavier, Gu Huaien hid his emotions, and added, "What kind of person is Ye Tezhu." If you talk nonsense about him in my house like this, the wall has ears, and if people hear that you are okay, our family will be in big trouble. β
"Hey, Lao Gu, I didn't say you. It's been a long time since your company opened, and even you yourself have nothing to do at home. Where do you have the spare time to take care of you? Those big people don't look down on your Gu family. The two have been friends for thirty or forty years, and they speak straightforwardly, not politely or vaguely at all.
The curvature of Gu Huaien's mouth was a little bitter. Don't have the time to take care of it? Their Gu family has never had a business to do, but it's all thanks to Ye Tezhu! After negotiating the signed contract, the other party will also be tough to terminate and lose money. Why? Isn't it because of a sentence from the Ye family? No, the Ye family doesn't even need to speak, those people are clever! When you see that the wind is not in the right direction, you immediately turn around.
Those who wanted to tie up their family before, since that day, after the small bamboo building, there was no figure in sight, and they ran faster than rabbits. Lafayette at home is also sick because of this. Since that farce, he has been staying in the villa by the sea, refusing to even leave his home. said that she didn't want to see people laugh at her. As for the daughter?
Gu Huaien's mouth became even more bitter. Xiaoya didn't have a single phone message or text message, knowing that she arrived in New Zealand safely, she also learned from Lingse's mouth. The current Gu family, in addition to Gu Lingse, has one more taboo to avoid. is the treasure of the Gu family, his daughter. Huaiheng was even more depressed, and he was even more alcoholic. Basically, there is no time to be awake. and Zhao Meilan, this woman, became more and more hysterical. even rushed to Zhao Guobang's house and ran to quarrel with Mu Huiqiu several times.
Shame on you! Every time, Zhao Guobang tied someone up and sent him back.
The current Gu family has basically become a rat crossing the street, and everyone is almost shouting and beating. was not shouted and beaten by everyone, and it was also because everyone looked at the face of Ye Tezhu's wife, and somewhat left the last bit of face for their Gu family.
"Hey! Lao Gu, when I talk to you, why don't you react at all? β
"Huh? Oh! Being kicked hard by his old classmates, Gu Huaien came back to his senses, "Listen, listen." β
"What did you listen to? Repeat what I just said. β
Gu Huaien smiled reluctantly, "Didn't you just ask me to go exercising with you, I agreed." "Anyway, Gu's enterprise has become a backwater, and it is not interesting for him to consume it. It's better to retire and spend your old age in peace. There is no business to do, but the Gu family will not starve to death. Every month, Lingse and Ye Tezhu would send a sum of money to his account. They didn't seem to tell each other that they would send money to the Gu family, and they didn't know that the other party was doing the same thing as themselves. Gu Huaien also struggled with this for a while, whether to tell one of them not to send money again. Charging two cents is not good after all. As for the amount of money, no more and no less, enough to take care of the family's expenses, I can't say how luxurious the life is, but it is still a lot better than ordinary people. Life is always rich.
When the family became like this, Gu Huaien was not angry at all, but was still very grateful to Ye Chengshu. People, it's already merciful. The Ye family really wants their Gu family to die, that is a matter of moving their little thumbs, it's simple. In the final analysis, it is their family's fault that comes first. Don't blame others, don't blame.
And in addition to sending money to support their family, Ye Tezhu also redeemed the Gu family's ancestral home. However, the name written on the real estate certificate is indeed Gu Lingse's name. Obviously, he wanted to warn them that without Gu Lingse, it would be difficult for them to take care of their family. Ye Tezhu, this is to ask them to remember Gu Lingse!
Gu Huaien didn't know if Ye Chengshu had told Gu Lingse about this matter. But according to Ye Chengshu's character, he should be hiding from Gu Lingse. Although there is not much contact, Gu Huaien can also see that Ye Chengshu loves Gu Lingse very much.
"Oh Lao Gu, why are you always stunned today!" Uncle Liu said casually, then got up and walked to the door, "The doorbell has been ringing for a long time." It's early in the morning, who's going to visit the door? Disturbing dreams! β
Gu Huaien laughed for a long time, he was embarrassed to say that others, didn't he disturb people's dreams early in the morning.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't press it, it's annoying." Uncle Liu has a deep friendship with Gu Huaien, he never treats himself as an outsider, he treats himself as the son of half of the Gu family, he opened the door impatiently, and rolled his eyes angrily. But as soon as he saw the guests at the door, Uncle Liu was stunned.
"Wyeong, Wynne. Look who's coming. β
Gu Huaien wondered, looked at it, and his expression was a little wrong.
"I didn't call and came to visit, didn't bother you, right?" Mu Huiqiu smiled kindly, and Zhao Guobang next to him glanced around coldly, but he didn't see Gu Huaiheng, and his expression was a little kinder.
"Something?" Gu Huaien did not get up to greet him, nor did he greet him politely, his attitude was not bad, but it was not kind either.
Zhao Guobang put aside Uncle Liu, walked in, and sat on the sofa with a big grin, regardless of whether the master invited him into the door. Gu Huaien found that Zhao Guobang had lost a lot of weight recently. The person who used to have a big belly, the bulging belly is now gone. Zhao Guobang, who has lost weight, is a little less rich and a little more ruthless. It is not difficult to see that his recent days have not been easy!
After Zhang Deliang stepped down, Zhao Guobang's company has not opened for a long time. The life is worse than that of their family. At least, they don't lose money to their family, and they have Ye Tezhu's living expenses. But Zhao Guobang has been losing money in the past few months. The losses were very miserable, and the stocks fell to the limit. As for the position of the richest man, he has long had nothing to do with him Zhao Guobang. Zhao Guobang has been looking for someone to raise funds during this time, wanting to bring the company back to life.
But the question is, which wronged boss will cooperate with Zhao Guobang? People are not stupid. first offended the Ye family, and then directly became an opponent who followed Ye Tezhu. Zhao Guobang's sins are much greater than those of the Gu family! If the Gu family is a robber, then Zhao Guobang is a murderer.
Zhao Guobang's shrewd little eyes always reveal a few wisps of viciousness. Look at everyone like this, even the curtain is no exception.
"There's something going on." One pretended to be red-faced and the other white-faced, and Mu Huiqiu said kindly: "There are some things I want to say to Mr. Gu." β
Gu Huaien first waved at his old classmate, signaling him to leave first and avoid it. But Uncle Liu frowned, walked over with a stinging voice, and sat down beside Gu Huaien.
He also said provocatively: "I want to see what this pair of lovers wants to say to you!" β
Gu Huaien sighed helplessly, but he didn't drive anyone again. Zhao Guobang and Mu Huiqiu don't care, this Uncle Liu, they are also familiar with each other. At the beginning, this outsider followed their affairs blindly.
"At the bidding meeting, Guobang was not shortlisted."
Mu Huiqiu said softly, Gu Huaien only sighed, and then didn't react.
Originally, he was still qualified to bid, but now he is not even qualified to enter, and it is not his Zhao Guobang family. They took care of their families and were also kicked out of the game.
Zhao Guobang looked at Gu Huaien for a long time before he said: "Gu Huaien, I have always felt that in the Gu family, you are still a person. has a little brain, unlike Gu Huaiheng, a waste one. I have always felt that if the Gu family didn't have you Gu Huaien, it would have disappeared from Jiangnan Province a long time ago. β
Gu Huaien sneered, "That's really thanks." β
"But this time, you've let me down."
Gu Huaien wanted to laugh a little, what Zhao Guobang said was really interesting. Disappointed him? Oh, it's speechless. What is their relationship, why did Zhao Guobang come out with such a sentence? Don't be ashamed!
But Gu Huaien didn't show dissatisfaction on his face, but asked seriously, "Oh? Then I want to ask, where did I disappoint Mr. Zhao? β
"Before the Xiaozhulou farce, the Zhao Group was still on the list of tenderers."
Gu Huaien nodded and understood. Zhao Guobang This is the reason why he was out, and he pushed it on the head of their Gu family. It means that the farce caused by their Gu family has affected him.
Mu Huiqiu smiled, "Mr. Gu, you are a person who can listen to the truth. β
Gu Huaien just sneered and didn't say a word. What does this mean that apart from him, their Gu family are all unreasonable people? Don't look at the gentle smile of the curtain Huiqiu, and speak softly and softly. But in the final analysis, she and Zhao Guobang are the same dog! I can't look down on them and take care of their family! It's just that what Zhao Guobang thinks in his heart is shown on his face, and Mu Huiqiu hides what he says.
The essence is the same.
Not a good thing anyway!
"You and I are both fallen people at the end of the world. The encounters are very different, but the ending is the same. So if there is anything to say, I will say it openly. β
"Mrs. Zhao, please speak."
Putting aside everything else, just look at Mu Huiqiu herself, she is still a woman who makes people feel good, beautiful, delicate, can talk, and smiles beautifully. But as soon as he thought of what she had done, Gu Huaien wanted to keep his distance from her.
The word femme fatale is not for nothing.
"Guobang's company, after Governor Zhang left, is getting worse day by day. Although there are several companies that are more powerful than us in the bidding power of highways, we do not have much control. However, we are still very sure of the bidding for several other projects in the new city. Therefore, Guobang and I still want to take advantage of this bidding meeting to make a comeback. β
Gu Huaien pressed his arm in the void, nodded and said, "What you mean, I have fully understood." Let's not talk about the farce of Xiaozhulou, whether it has anything to do with you being kicked out, even if there is, it is a foregone conclusion, and it will not help you to come to the door like this. I don't quite understand why you two came to me today. What's more, what does the farce of Xiaozhulou have to do with Zhao Guobang. He was kicked out, and it has been a fact for a long time. For no other reason, who let him run to follow Zhang Deliang and make Zhang Deliang a gunman?
At this point, it is difficult for Zhao Guobang to have a foothold in Jiangnan Province!
This is also why, both Gu and Zhao have done wrong things, but the ending is so different. It was because Zhao Guobang chose Ye Tezhu's opponent, and the Gu family was just clever, wanting to use the banner of Ye Chengshu to make some benefits for himself. They didn't do anything to hurt people.
That's the difference.
"I have been thinking about it with Guobang for a long time, and I think that Mr. Gu must be understandable about our situation. Everyone's going through the same thing, presumablyβ"
Gu Huaien squinted, "Mrs. Zhao doesn't have to mind, just say it directly." β
"Guobang wants to ...... with Mr. Gu Cooperate! β
"What? Cooperate! Uncle Liu exploded all of a sudden, "Cooperate with a bird!" Mu Huiqiu, I have been holding back and not wanting to scold, this is what you forced me to do! What is there to cooperate with Lao Gu and you, if you hadn't seduced Huaiheng and stole the Gu family's confidential documents from Huaiheng, would Zhao Guobang be where he is today? Will Lao Gu be harmed like this by you? Do you have the face to say that you are sympathetic? β
Pointing a finger, Uncle Liu pointed at the tip of Zhao Guobang's nose and said viciously: "He! Because he sent his wife out as a prostitute to play with others, he has the position of the richest man today! A little more finger, pointing at Gu Huaien's chest, "He!" Lao Gu! Because of your victims, I haven't had any business for months now! I can't open the pot at home! How do you have the face to come to Lao Gu! How to have a face! β
"People who have no business to do for a few months are not only Gu Jia. Me too. Compared with Uncle Liu's excitement, Zhao Guobang seemed much calmer, and he said calmly: "Moreover, I am no longer the richest man." As for who harmed the Gu family this time, there is no business to do, you can ask Gu Huaien. This result must not be me Zhao Guobang. β
Uncle Liu and Gu Huaien have a good relationship and can wear a pair of pants, and even Gu Huaiheng and Mu Huiqiu's affairs, Gu Huaien has never hidden from Uncle Liu. But he didn't tell his old classmates about what happened recently. It's not that Gu Huaien doesn't trust his old classmates, it's just that he is annoyed in his own heart, and he especially wants to find someone to talk to, but he doesn't know what to say.
Uncle Liu didn't know what was going on, he looked over in a daze, Gu Huaien just pursed his lips and sat there expressionlessly, without saying a word.
His silence seemed to acquiesce in something.
