There is only one shuttle bus from the township to the county seat every day, and when Lu Zhengdong and Wu Zhonghe arrived in the county at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Zhonghe explained to him and asked him to go home first.

When Lu Zhengdong passed by Lin Donghe's dormitory, Lin Donghe stretched out his head and said:

"Zhengdong, why didn't you come back before the weekend? Aunt Yun went to the city for a meeting and didn't come back until dinner. ”

Lin Donghe leaned against the door, he had just taken a shower, his hair was still wet, Lu Zhengdong smiled and nodded:

"Go to the county to do something, are you commuting?"

"Well, but I'm going to work for someone else, and I have to continue to work at night...... Zhengdong, I heard that Wang Liben has fallen, and the township is going to build a road? ”

Lu Zhengdong was slightly stunned, Wang Liben's resignation was only a matter of a day or two, Lin Donghe actually knew about it in the city, and smiled:

"I can't see that Sister Donghe is very well-informed."

Lin Donghe also smiled:

"My brother told me when he came to the city yesterday."

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"There is such a thing, Wang Liben has been dismissed, and the township has already decided to build the road, and has begun to do preliminary work, striving to start construction in November."

"Really, then it will be convenient for me to go home in the future."

Lin Donghe was very happy when he heard it:

"I heard that the money for the road repair was recovered by you, and it was also proposed by you to repair it, you are so capable, let you be the secretary, it must be much better than Wang Liben, Wang Liben's scourge should have been removed a long time ago."

Lu Zhengdong smiled, Lin Donghe obviously didn't know that the party and government departments were strictly hierarchical, and he was not even a member of the party committee if he looked like a township head, but he wanted to sit in the position of township head, and he was still ranked behind the party committee members, and it was almost impossible to sit in the position of secretary of the township party committee in one step.

So he smiled and said:

"You can't talk nonsense, outsiders will think I'm arrogant when they hear it......"

"I'm just telling you, anyway, you're capable, and you've been to the Special Economic Zone, but our factory director hasn't been there...... What does the Special Economic Zone look like, is it really a story built in three days? ”

Lin Donghe looked interested, Lu Zhengdong smiled,

"It is true that a floor will be built in three days, and the special zone has indeed developed faster than us, and now it is much more prosperous than our mainland."

The media once reported at length that the SEZ was built with one floor in three days and built one of the tallest buildings in Asia in 37 months, which became synonymous with the speed of the SEZ and was widely known to the Chinese people.

Such reports have an irrepressible attraction for many people who have never been to the Special Economic Zone, and in addition, it is necessary to apply for a border defense permit and go through border inspection to ask for a certificate from a unit in the Special Economic Zone, which makes the Special Economic Zone even more covered with a veil of mystery.

"Oh, by the way, I brought you something when I went back to the SAR, you come and get ......"

Lin Donghe's question reminded Lu Zhengdong that he also brought a gift to Lin Donghe when he came back from the Special Economic Zone, but he didn't meet Lin Donghe after he came back, and he didn't have time to give it to her.

Lu Zhengdong opened the door, took out a beautiful box from the room and handed it to Lin Donghe:

"You try to fit or not......"

Lin Donghe took the box curiously and opened it, the things inside were more delicate than the box, looking at the things inside, Lin Donghe's eyes were shining:

"This watch is so beautiful......"

Lin Donghe looked at it lovingly, then raised his head and asked.

Lu Zhengdong smiled and said nothing, let Lin Donghe wear it and try it, the snow-white skin and the silver-white case complement each other, which is very suitable for Lin Donghe, seeing that Lin Donghe himself likes it very much, Lu Zhengdong feels that this gift is for the right person.

Although Lin Donghe liked it, his face was still a little hesitant, and he reluctantly glanced at his watch a few times and then returned it:

"This watch costs at least a few dozen dollars, right? It's too expensive, I can't afford it. ”

Lin Donghe obviously regarded these as slightly better watches made in China, but in fact, this watch was a Swiss Tissot women's watch, and dozens of dollars were not enough to buy a strap.

Lu Zhengdong smiled:

"What money is not money, you can like it, but it took me a lot of effort to buy it from the Friendship Mall and give it to you, which is also a little bit of my heart......"

This is what Lu Zhengdong said in his heart, not to mention Lin Donghe's care for his mother over the years, that is, when he was in Shanhe Township, Lin Donghe braved the eyes of the whole villagers to accompany him to Dong Yangsheng's house, even if it was worth giving Lin Donghe something expensive. …,

"Bought at the Friendship Mall? It's going to be scary-expensive, I can't afford it......"

Lin Donghe didn't expect that Lin Donghe would hold the watch as soon as he heard that he bought it in the Friendship Mall, so he wanted to return it to him.

Lu Zhengdong thought about it for a while, and finally understood why Lin Donghe was like this. - Lin Donghe's mother-in-law is also a cadre family, and Lin Donghe may have heard of foreign-related stores such as Friendship Mall.

At present, the Friendship Mall is like the Lufthansa Pacific Department Store in later generations, which is synonymous with high-end products, but you only need to have money in your pocket to buy it casually, and at that time, foreign-related stores like the Friendship Mall were carrying a lot of RMB in their arms, and there was nothing to do.

In the early days of reform and opening up, there were more and more foreigners coming and going to China, and in order to facilitate foreigners, special foreign-related stores such as friendship shopping malls came into being, which mainly sold imported and exported special commodities. Since foreign currency was prohibited in the country at that time, in order to facilitate the purchase and payment of goods and expenses in these places, and to distinguish them from domestic residents, a non-negotiable foreign exchange voucher was issued.

Since they cannot be circulated, only a very small number of people are qualified to hold foreign exchange coupons, and without certain relationships and channels, it is very difficult to get hold of them; in addition, in these foreign-related stores, they can buy imported or exported commodities that cannot be bought in the market, and foreign exchange coupons are even more in demand, and scalpers who resell foreign exchange coupons are naturally coaxed.

This amount of money is really nothing to Lu Zhengdong, in order to get these foreign exchange coupons, Lu Zhengdong has run a lot of ways, which is indeed a piece of his heart.

Lu Zhengdong saw Lin Donghe like that, Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but stuff the watch into Lin Donghe's hand, Lin Donghe's hand was warm and warm, very soft, and the faint fragrance floated over after bathing, refreshing people's hearts, so that Lu Zhengdong's heart couldn't help but ripple, and there was a faint impulse in his heart, Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but secretly say, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and hormones seem to have risen sharply. Fortunately, Lu Zhengdong still had some self-control, although he had such an impulse in his heart, he quickly let go of Lin Donghe's hand and said:

"You think there are no cheap things in the Friendship Store? It's a little more expensive than a domestic watch. You just take it, if you really feel sorry for it, hurry up and cook, and treat me......"

Lin Donghe still felt that he shouldn't accept his things, but seeing that he was so resolute, he finally accepted it......
