Strange Tales (3)

"Why didn't you mention it, what's the use of mentioning it? The mayor made a phone call, and we quickly gave it approval. How else to call it the Overlord plan? Not only us, but also the urban construction department has also put forward opinions, saying that the original site of Yuxinyue Bay is an aging factory, and some chemical poisons have leaked for many years, and the developer is required to deal with it appropriately. It's also a word from the mayor, so you don't have to deal with it. ”

"Why don't you deal with it?"

"It's too expensive. This developer, oh, is the so-called Shen Qi's husband, he is really powerful, he wants to make money to the limit, and he can save it. ”

"The so-called Shen Qi's husband." Shanshan heard something in Sha Tin's Chinese dialect.

"You don't know yet, this developer's name is Tan Gaohao, and he has an unusual relationship with Mayor Cheng. Mayor Cheng brought him to the city to develop

Target. Somehow, I met Shen Qi, and the two got together, and Shen Qi became Tan Gaohao's office director, and in fact, like the boss's wife, she was flying in the company. I have a college classmate who works as an engineer with them, not to mention holding my breath. The key is that Shen Qi was born in an art school, he doesn't understand anything, and he has to take care of everything, so it's no wonder if he doesn't make a mistake with his popularity? ”

Seeing that Shanshan hadn't moved her chopsticks yet, Sha Tin Han urged: "I said mine, you should eat." ”

"Could it be the cause of the poison gas in the chemical plant?" Shanshan picked up the chopsticks and said as she ate.

"At best, it affects health, and it doesn't kill people. You think, the chemical plant has been in production for so many years, and I haven't heard of anyone who has been smoked to death. ”

"That means a ghost did it?" Sansa still didn't believe it.

"Someone is said to have seen it. Who saw it, I don't know. Anyway, I believe it was a ghost. Otherwise, why would those developers spend so much effort to break the feng shui, lose the area, and spend money, what are the plans? ”

There is some truth to this. But this makes me believe that there are ghosts in this world, which is too child's play. Sansa thought.

In the afternoon, I went to the Urban Construction Bureau and listened to some official words, although Shanshan was a little tired, but after all, the information of the positive report was almost collected.

I just came out of the Urban Renewal Bureau and the phone rang.

"How? My true friend. "It's Jin Haoran calling again." There's something else to eat in the evening, isn't it? ”

Shanshan remembered that Shen Qi had asked her to go to her house for dinner in the evening, so she said, "Yes, I just came, so I have to give my classmates a chance to catch up." ”

"How's the work going, do you want me to help?"

"No thanks, it's almost done."

"Would you do me a favor, then? Your work is almost over anyway. ”

Shanshan regretted a little what she had just said, "How can I help?" ”

"Of course you can help, true friend?"

"Okay then." Shanshan was a little helpless.

"I'll send a driver to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Yuxinyue Bay is located next to a main road in the city, with convenient transportation and unbiased terrain, and a park built by a mountain on the east side.

This place is really nice, Sansa thought to herself.

Shen Qi's house was on the upper floor of the street to the north, and Shanshan walked towards Shen Qi's house according to Shen Qi's description. At this time, it should be the peak time to go home from work, but there are only a few people in Yuxinyue Bay who occasionally hurry by.

"I'm tired after a busy day." Shen Qi brought Shanshan a cup of tea: "How is it, how is the effect?" ”

"As you intended, you're almost done with the materials." Sansa leaned back on the couch and said a little lazily.

"That's good. You send this article down, keep it effective, and to hell with those rumor-mongers with ulterior motives. Shen Qi was a little excited.

Shanshan wanted to say that Shen Yanghong was probably really a hell. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

"Let's have a good drink and celebrate today." Shen Qi put the prepared dishes and wine on the table.

"Aren't you going to come back and eat it?"

"He accompanies the city leaders all day long, so how can he have time to go home for dinner."

The two chatted while eating, and Shen Qi was very interested, and frequently raised his glass. After a while, his face began to redden.

"Where did Shen Yanghong die?" Sansa asked nonchalantly.

"It's just a short walk up the hill from here."

"Can you show me there?"

"Now?" Shen Qi looked out the window, "It's so late, and there is no light over there, and I can't find it back if I go, I don't want to go." ”

It seemed that even she was afraid of accidents, Shanshan thought to herself, so she continued: "It's okay, you don't need to accompany you, you won't send a security belt."

I'll go. ”

"Then we'll have to wait until we're done eating." Shen Qi seemed a little unhappy.

"Well, it's up to you."

After a while, Shanshan looked at her watch, and it was almost nine o'clock, and she got up to take her leave.

"What's the hurry? Sit a little longer. Shen Qi came up and pressed Shanshan back into her chair.

At that moment, Sanshan's phone rang.

"Hey, Shanshan, it's so late, why haven't you returned to the hotel yet?" Jin Haoran seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't call her a "real friend" anymore. "It's not safe at night in this city, you're a girl's house, running around at night, something will happen."

"I was chatting at a friend's house and it was fine. Now it's going to go too. ”

"It's not safe for you to walk by yourself at night, so I'll send a driver to pick you up and take you back to the hotel. Tell me, where are you? ”

Shanshan thought that she could use this as an excuse to refuse Shen Qi's retention. told Jin Haoran her location.

"I'll give my driver your number, and you'll come out as soon as he calls."

"Looks like I can't keep you." Shen Qi smiled mysteriously.

"It's been a while for the driver to pick me up, and I just happened to take a look at the place where Shenyang Hong died."

Shen Qi picked up the phone a little reluctantly, and muttered as she dialed, "What's there to see?" ”

Shanshan went downstairs, and a security guard on duty was already waiting there with a flashlight.

"Where are you going?" The security guard on duty asked.

"Go to the hill behind your neighborhood."

"Now?" The security guard on duty was a little frightened.

"What's going on now? Is there a problem? ”

"No, no problem." The security guard on duty squeaked, turned on the flashlight and walked forward.

I didn't go far, and the security guard on duty said: "The front is the back mountain, and my stomach is suddenly a little uncomfortable, you can go by yourself." With that, he gave the flashlight to Shanshan and turned to walk back.

Could it really be that there are ghosts that scare them like this? Sansa thought to herself. "The person concerned is fascinated", and he just scares himself.

Shanshan's courage was not great in the past, and it may be that the profession of a provincial newspaper reporter made her develop a somewhat arrogant character. The more afraid others are, the more curious she becomes.

Sansa turned the flashlight on and shone it forward, but there was nothing. She continued her walk up the hill.

The road wasn't wide, and Sansa could tell it was a one-way street. While walking, I also thought that Shen Yanghong must have gone wrong to come to this road.

She hadn't gone far, and by the light of the flashlight, Shanshan saw that there seemed to be someone in front of her.

Even the security guards on duty didn't dare to come over, so who else could walk around here? Shanshan thought so, but she didn't stop under her feet, and gradually got closer and saw clearly, it was indeed a figure, and it was not a single figure, but a group.

Because they were still far away, the faces of the group of people could not be seen clearly, but their movements were strange, like slow motion in a movie, moving slowly. Shanshan's heart began to beat faster, and her pace gradually slowed.

That may not be human. As soon as Shanshan's thought flashed, a few of the people in the group over there actually walked towards her. No, looking at that posture, it should be said that it is floating.

That's certainly not a person! Shanshan was so frightened that she almost screamed, turned around and ran down, because of the rush of running, and the road was a little steep, she almost fell, and in a hurry grabbed a tree on the side of the road, and the flashlight also "snapped" and fell far away, rolling out of sight.

It's pitch black, and you can't even see the road in front of you, what can I do? Sansa was about to cry. At this time, her phone rang, Shanshan trembled and picked up the phone, and when she saw it, it was Jin Haoran.

"Hey, where are you? Do you want me to go up and pick you up? Jin Haoran still teased unhurriedly.

"Yes!" Sansa screamed. "I'm on the trail in the back mountain, come and save me!"

"Good! Don't put the phone. It seems that Jin Haoran heard that the situation was serious. On the phone, Shanshan heard the sound of the car door opening and closing, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

She held the tree in one hand and her phone in the other, not daring to move. At this moment the wind was blowing on the mountain, and it was very cool, and Shanshan felt something approaching her, and her heart was about to burst out.

"Sanshan!" A voice calling for her was heard not far away, and Sansa saw a strong light flickering not far away.

"I'm here." Sansa seemed to suddenly have some courage.

The light finally shone on Sanshan.

"What's wrong with you?" Shanshan could hear that it was Jin Haoran's voice.

Jin Haoran suddenly ran over to support Shanshan, and the person with a flashlight next to Jin Haoran hurriedly took a picture around.

Shanshan seemed to collapse into Jin Haoran's arms.

"Let's go." Jin Haoran seemed to give an order. Then he picked up Sansa and walked down the mountain.

When she was almost at the gate of the community, Shanshan said, "Put me down, I'm fine." ”

Putting down Shanshan, Jin Haoran still helped her, and went out from the gate of the community to get into Jin Haoran's car.

"What's wrong?" As soon as the driver started the car, Jin Haoran asked.

Shanshan suddenly put her head on Jin Haoran's shoulder and cried loudly: "Why did you come?" Do you know, I almost died-"

Enough crying, Sanshan's spirit is a little better. Jin Haoran said, "Let's go have some coffee." Refreshment, okay? ”

Seeing that Shanshan did not object, Jin Haoran motioned for the driver to stop in front of the café in front.

Shanshan's mood recovered a lot at this time, and the two of them sat in the card room inside.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Jin Haoran remembered that it was the second time he had asked.

"Can you believe me?" Sansa drank the entire cup of coffee at once.

"Believe, I believe everything you say." Jin Haoran looked at her with concern, his eyes were full of affection, and Shanshan's heart was hot.

"Holy hell to me. almost died there like Shen Yanghong. ”

"What the hell?" Jin Haoran had a surprised expression on his face.

Shanshan knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to accept this statement, so she told the story before and after and Sha Tin Han's words.

"Is that really the case?" Jin Haoran was still a little incredulous.

"Looks like I owe you a favor." Sansa seemed to have calmed down, too.

"Then how do you repay me?" Jin Haoran stared at Shanshan with his eyes.

"It seems that we are not really friends."

Jin Haoran was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say: "I'm joking, you take it seriously." ”

"Didn't you ask the driver to pick me up, why did you come in person?"

"I just want to see you one more time." Jin Haoran looked at Shanshan hotly, and Shanshan's heart moved.

"Tell me, what will I do you tomorrow?" Sansa gets straight to the point.

"I want to invest in a large supermarket in this city, and the location has not yet been chosen, so you can help me get an idea, and at the same time do a follow-up interview. If the investment is successful, you can also help me blow it. ”

"I don't dare to take the idea, I haven't been in business. It's no problem to follow up and interview, and serve the local economy. Shanshan also became official. Then he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you repay you." ”

"Here you go again." Jin Haoran said a little unnaturally.

As soon as Jin Haoran and Shanshan appeared at the door of the mayor's office, Mayor Cheng strode out to greet them.

This is the first time Shanshan has met Mayor Cheng. He was tall, square-faced, white-skinned, with a straight nose and a square mouth, and the only flaw was that his eyes were a little smaller, as if he had opened two thin slits on his face.

"Is the old leader okay? I haven't seen him for a while, and I really miss him. I have a lot of work and I still want to ask for instructions, report, and ask him to come up with ideas! ”

Shanshan knew that the "old leader" and "old man" mentioned by Mayor Cheng were Jin Haoran's father, Secretary Jin of the Provincial Party Committee.

After a few words of greeting, Jin Haoran introduced Shanshan.

"Well, you have a lot of lineup, and you even brought a drummer. It seems that you are determined to win. Well, I've got your back. Mayor Cheng looked very happy.

Jin Haoran briefly introduced the purpose and investment intention of the trip. Mayor Cheng asked the secretary to bring the long-term plan of the urban area and said: "If this is the case, I can't ask for it." However, there are not many places to choose from, and now the appreciation of land is too fast, and no matter how expensive the land is, there will be people grabbing it. ”

Seeing that Jin Haoran's eyes were searching on the map, he prompted: "At present, the long-term planning of the development zone is good, but it will take three or five years to become popular." There is no large supermarket in the East District, so it is time to invest in this area. But the plot there is very tight, and only here is there a chance. As he spoke, he pointed to the picture.

Shanshan saw that it was near Yuxin Moon Bay, so she interjected and asked, "Where is the location of the original funeral home?" ”

These words seemed to make Mayor Cheng a little unhappy: "The funeral parlors have moved out last year, what's the use of asking about these." Turning his head to Jin Haoran, he said: "If you build a supermarket here, not only will the location be good, the business opportunities will be unlimited, but you can also enjoy the most preferential policies in the city." ”

"Does this involve demolition?" Jin Haoran asked.

"The demolition problem is easy to solve, and the residents there can move to Yuxinyue Bay nearby. The price is negotiable, you can negotiate. "How long will it take to demolish?"

"The government only needs to make a big effort, and if there are ready-made houses, it will be done very quickly." Mayor Cheng is full of confidence.

"I'll think about it and get back to you as soon as possible."
