Sixty years with spring

Chapter 154

Projects from Far Away (1)

On December 14, 2000, Che Hongxuan and Qin Xinming prepared to drive to Jixi. In the morning, Qin Xinming came to pick up the car and Hongxuan was ready to leave.

As soon as Che Hongxuan got in the car, Qin Xinming said very seriously: "Now Director Bai, the manager of the JX construction site, is very shrewd and sharp, he can do whatever he wants if the relationship is good, he can say anything, he can personally run for you if you can't do it; The relationship is not good, I don't do anything, and I am not afraid of killing and fighting. His father was a veteran cadre and had a lot of weight in the local area. People are not socialized, they don't look like cadres at all, and the public opinion of the masses is particularly bad, and I think he will have something to do sooner or later. Now that he is in power, he can't do anything if he is not satisfied, there is no way, I am also sticking my fingers in my eyes now-I have to suffer, and I have to suffer if I don't. He has good friends in his province and city, all of whom are fed, and they are very active. Don't be in a hurry to mention the matter of asking for money when you go, it seems that if you ask for money, you will leave, which will make him disgusted, and I will do it if you ask for money. I first went to the store to buy two packs of sea cucumbers and two soft Chinese cucumbers, and then I was done on the road. These things are said to have been brought by you to Director Bai. Brother Che, don't mind, it's hard to get the balance if you don't do it like this. ”

"I'll pay for it, you can get things done."

"You don't have to spend money, it's small money. You don't have to buy it, it's not good. The sea cucumber can be eaten after boiling water, and the soft China wants a small brand of 329, and if you can't buy it, Director Bai won't throw it out for you! ”

The two bought things, picked up Xiaoyu and Tingting, and drove to JX.

JX is located in the east of Heilongjiang Province, located in the west of the Jiguan Mountain, located in the foothills of the Muling River in the foothills of the Wanda Mountain, is the second coal capital in China after Datong, graphite reserves for the first in Asia, the reserves of live standing wood of nearly 50 million cubic meters, the annual output of grain of 2 million tons, so it is a developed resource-based city. Its borders are more than 600 kilometers long, the beautiful and rich Wanda Mountain, the sapphire-like Xingkai Lake, the deep and rapid Ussuri River, the first to see the sunrise in June, the peak of the border god, Zhenbao Island, and the Tiger Head Fortress are all located here, all of which have beautiful legends.

Che Hongxuan likes to travel, he came in the summer the first two times, and he has visited almost all these tourist resorts, so he wants to go to this place.

Qin Xinming has drunk too much in the past few days and sat behind with Xiaoyu.

Che Hongxuan drove, and Tingting sat in the co-pilot seat.

Tingting was wearing a mink coat, but after getting in the car, she took it off and handed it to Xiaoyu behind, with a light yellow U-neck sweater and a happy smile on her face.

Xiaoyu and Tingting's family are both JX's, and this time they are hitchhiking home to have a look.

Mudanjiang is a must-pass place, enter the Danjiang territory at noon, here is the Laoyeling Mountains.

Che Hongxuan drove the car to a small mountain village in Chaoyang on the north side of the highway, where the scenery is good, backed by the mountains and facing the road. He thought to himself that this was the hometown of Xianglan, with high mountains and dense forests, covered with snow, and the mountains near and far were bathed in the faint winter sunshine, shrouded in mist, and mysterious. In summer, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and thousands of small streams surround the mountains and converge into the Mudanjiang River, flowing eastward day and night, looking for the sea. There are also the holy Jingpo Lake and the world-famous Xiangshui rice------ all of which make him feel the beauty and richness of the Mudanjiang River. Maybe this is Zhong Lingyuxiu, only such an environment can raise a beautiful girl like Xianglan. He thought about it for a moment and sent a text message to Xianglan.

When it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination and stayed at a hotel that Qin Xinming frequented. After a short rest, the two drove to the construction site, and Xiaoyu and Tingting went home.

Che Hongxuan's exterior work was done last year, and this year it is only maintenance, finishing and final accounts of the project.

Qin Xinming's work was all done this year.

Che Hongxuan's resident project manager is often happy alone.

Chang Xi is tall and slender, with a wrinkled face, very dark, and very old, and he can tell at a glance that he is from a peasant background. He was able to work on the construction site, thanks to Liu Bin's two months of work here at the beginning of last year, teaching him by word and deed, which can be regarded as bringing him out.

Knowing that Che Hongxuan was coming, Chang Xi deliberately waited at the construction site, and said when they met: "The work has long been neat, and the money is not very easy to ask, so if it doesn't work, let's go and move the relationship." The surname Bai has already let out the wind, saying that it has been a year, and a decent leader of the exterior company has never come, and he has not come to the door when he asks for money! ”

Che Hongxuan nodded lightly, then looked at this beautiful building with more than 20 floors and asked, "Does Qin Xinming have a good relationship with him?" ”

"It's good, it's all fed, you can do things yourself, but it's not necessarily easy to help you."

"Are the accounts settled?"

"It's clear, the audit report has also come out, the total price is 5.6 million, including the warranty fee, we should be paid more than 500,000 yuan. I'll tell you again, it's not easy to ask for money, this year it's all newcomers, especially Director Bai, who has rotten skin and old fritters, it's not easy to deal with, you have to be careful. ”

"Don't rush, take your time. What about sister-in-law? ”

Chang Xi accompanied Che Hongxuan around the construction site and replied, "I heard that you are here, I will make dumplings for you." ”

"Not today, Qin Xinming has something to arrange in the evening."

The two came to the basement warehouse of the construction site, and Chang Xi told him: "The things here are all what I want from the construction site, everything is complete, and there is still room to build six rooms, just waiting for you to come and say." I'll pull it back, buy some more bricks, stones, and cement, and the old son will marry his daughter-in-law—it's over! So you're going to have to help me with this. ”

Che Hongxuan looked at these steel bars, wood, radiators and decoration materials, knew that these things came from unknown sources, and asked, "Can't there be a problem?" ”

"No, it's all hello."

"What about spider plants and tools?"

"I'll go home first, and then I'll send the company's stuff back."

"Okay, without further ado, we'll treat them to dinner tonight, you're just loading the car, don't make anything happen."

Chang Xi said very happily: "Don't worry, I have no problem with the construction site, I won't pull anyone who has a big or small affair, and I invite them to drink a little wine if it's okay, I shouldn't make trouble for you." ”

"That's good."

"I don't plan to come out when I go back, I will let you worry about working in your company, and you will build a house next year and live on it, and you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Che Hongxuan thought about it and thought it would be good. Chang Xi is already in his fifties, and it is not easy to run up and down at the construction site, so he agreed.

The two of them chatted and turned.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Che Hongxuan drove for a day and felt very tired, so he went to the bathing center to take a shower and waited for the evening to drink and run errands.

Qin Xinming arranged the construction site and went to a leader's house to see how the decoration was doing. His interior work has also been finished, but there are still a few workers tinkering. The cleaning company has been in for more than ten days, and it will withdraw today and tomorrow, and Party A will be ready to move after the New Year. He has renovated several leaders, some symbols.

Sex charges a cost of work, and some simply do it for free, and those who have heads and faces are his buddies. These people also often go to Harbin, and he always entertains them warmly, which is not a small expense. Also, he has never fallen behind when there is a happy event in anyone's family, and he is generous, so he has gained a firm foothold here.

When it was almost six o'clock, Qin Xinming picked up Che Hongxuan and came to the Royal Hotel, where he met the invited people in a room of 100 square meters.

The room is magnificent, the outside room is a sofa coffee table for drinking tea, and the inside room is a large dining table for eating.

The few people invited were not polite, and they were already sitting at the dinner table and began to study the dishes.

Sitting in the main position is a short and fat man, with a square face, big eyes, light eyebrows, and a large mouth, who may naturally have no beard, and the fat on his face is obviously too much, too sickly. It seems that he has just come in, sitting there pinching his waist, panting with his mouth open, this person is Director Bai.

Director Bai graduated from high school in the class of '68 and is 52 years old this year, has experienced the entire movement of previous years, and has also been the leader of the rebels. In 1978, the workers, peasants, and soldiers graduated and were assigned to work in a bank, where they have been working ever since. Because he usually eats and drinks, the public opinion of the masses is not very good, and he has not been promoted. At this age, he no longer has any extravagant hopes for politics, and now he has two goals: one is to eat and drink fiercely, and the other is to be dashing. He has been an official all his life, but he is a petty official who waits for people. After the completion of the infrastructure, the two units of planning and infrastructure were merged into one and the logistics department was established, he was the assistant to the number one leader, and he was also the director of the logistics department, so Che Hongxuan did not see him.

There are four people on Director Bai's left who are from the logistics department, and two people on the right who are from the design institute.

Che Hongxuan, a person from the design institute, has seen them, and they have a good relationship with Dean Zhou of the Harbin Design Institute, and they asked Dean Zhou to help win this design task.

Everyone was familiar with Qin Xinming, and when they saw him come in, everyone except Director Bai stood up to greet and shake hands. Director Bai just nodded to him, and then looked at Che Hongxuan who was following behind seriously.

Qin Xinming introduced Che Hongxuan to everyone, and introduced them to Che Hongxuan one by one, starting with Director Bai.

Director Bai still didn't stand up, stretched out his hand, touched Che Hongxuan's hand, and said lightly, "I've heard of you." ”

Che Hongxuan felt that Director Bai was too good, and he didn't even say a word of welcome, and he was quite dissatisfied.

Qin Xinming handed the menu card to Director Bai, and asked Che Hongxuan to sit down next to Director Bai.

Director Bai put down the menu card and waved his hand and said, "Xinming, you sit with me." ”

This made Che Hongxuan feel ashamed, I don't know why he is like this, if it weren't for asking for money, he would have walked away.

Director Bai neither took the menu away nor opened the menu, held his head high, his nostrils were angry to the sky, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, thought for a while, closed his eyes and asked, "Do you have hooves (bear paws) today?" ”

There were three waiters busy in the room, and one of them stood beside him with an orderer and whispered to him that there was none.

Director Bai was unhappy, rolled his eyes and lowered his face and said, "What's not?" I ate it the day before yesterday! Call the boss to me! Get a front hoof, don't have a hind hoof. ”

The waiter nodded in agreement.

"Are there any big white fish in Xingkai Lake?"

The waiter told him there was.

"I want a seven or eight catties of steamed, two hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, one case of goose paw sea cucumber per person, one abalone, and two lobsters------ he almost ordered the most high-end dishes in the hotel, and it seems that he has a grudge against money, and he can't get rid of his hatred if he spends less.

"A few of you," Director Bai pointed to a few people under him, "I've been studying for a long time, and each person orders one." Today, the big boss from afar came, and everyone followed to borrow a light, don't save him money. ”

Che Hongxuan glanced at Director Bai, although he was angry in his heart, he still had a smile on his face. He guessed Director Bai and thought that he was the kind of person that the people hated the most: the lackey of the powerful and the bastard of the people.

Although Che Hongxuan thought so in his heart, he still had to get by on his face, he looked at everyone and said, "Don't be polite, everyone, I'll invite you today." ”

Several people from the logistics department ordered.

The waiter asked Director Bai what kind of wine he was drinking, and Director Bai said without raising his head or opening his eyes that he would bring a box of "Shuijingfang".

Che Hongxuan understands that this meal should be more than 30,000. Since this is the case, he will see you on the wine, and he is determined to abolish this Director Bai.

The wine was full, and before Che Hongxuan could stand up, Qin Xinming picked up the glass first and said, "Director Bai, why are you tired today?" ”

Director Bai opened his eyes and sighed and said, "No, I'm thinking about it." ”

Che Hongxuan felt that he was too capable of pretending.

Qin Xinming picked up his cup and smiled and said, "Director Bai, let's start." ”

Director Bai nodded.

"I invite everyone to drink today, I hope to give face, including Director Bai and Mr. Che, I will make a sample first." After speaking, Erliang's cup dried up.

Without a word, everything that can be drunk is drunk, and no one is persuaded if it can't be drunk.

Director Bai is also massive, pinching his waist with one hand and raising his glass with the other, and he is dry in one gulp.

Seeing him like this, Che Hongxuan knew that he couldn't drink much.

Everyone began to eat.

In the second cup, Che Hongxuan stood up and raised his glass and said: "I respect our dear leader Director Bai and the leaders of the logistics department and the old friends of the design institute, we are here to rely on you, thank you for your care and support, in the future, we will have more contacts, more contacts, and we will have the opportunity to develop here!" Cheers, please! ”

Che Hongxuan clinked glasses with everyone one by one, but he didn't respect Qin Xinming, and was about to do it. Director Bai unceremoniously stopped Che Hongxuan, pointed at Qin Xinming and said, "Slow, what's the matter with you?" ”

Che Hongxuan was still standing there, smiled and said, "He will drive in a while, and I want him to drink less." ”

"Don't talk like that! You make small moves and treat us as outsiders, is it interesting to drink this wine or not? Director Bai said unhappily, "One side of the shoulder is the brother, we are together, we don't distinguish between far and near, Xinming you have to accompany you to the end today, I don't care if you fly the plane after drinking, drink!" ”

After speaking, everyone did it at the same time, and Zhang Luo, a person from the Third Wine Design Institute, respected everyone.

Director Bai saw that the old guy surnamed Che he met was still stiff, and it was estimated that he was just a little white-faced guy, and it shouldn't be a problem to win him with a cup or two, so he picked up the cup and looked at Che Hongxuan and said, "It seems that you really want to drink some, right?" Come, I respect. ”

After Director Bai finished speaking, he paused his wine glass on the table, and the locals called it electricity, which also meant toasting, and no one ignored everything and did it.

Everyone didn't show weakness and did it.

The fifth cup was poured, one bottle per person.

Director Bai began to talk a lot, and said nonsense: "Let me tell you, there are several principles for being a man now, what are they?" The red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside! Also, friends are about moving around, wives are fooling, being an official is about digging ridges, and drinking is about circles. ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

"We are here," he pointed to Che Hongxuan and said, "unlike you there, we are far away from the emperor here, and everyone knows each other in a small place, so it is easy to do things." But there are rules, and you have to follow the rules, understand? Just your little money, so let's say, come to me tomorrow. What do you think? Do you want more? If you want to do something, you have to drink well, and come again, a bottle for two! ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "No problem! Director Bai is in the mood for me to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman! ”

Director Bai gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Okay, it's cool enough!" When there are thousands of cups of wine for confidants, everyone comes. Is there enough wine? Not enough for another box! ”

When each person drank another half catty, some people had fallen asleep on the table.

Che Hongxuan went to the toilet, followed by several people, and after he went to the toilet, these people followed back without doing anything.

Che Hongxuan knew that it was almost there, so he asked the waiter to settle the account.

Qin Xinming stopped him and said that he didn't need to settle the bill, and that he had an agreement with the hotel to settle the bill with a check from the bank and take it out of the project money.

Director Bai was obviously happy and had no objections.

After saving money, Che Hongxuan was naturally secretly happy in his heart.

Director Bai signed the meal money and bath expenses here, and Qin Xinming was responsible for settling the bill.

Qin Xinming didn't drink much wine today, and the waiter secretly changed a few glasses of white water for him, which was his usual practice to stay sober. In fact, Director Bai deliberately pretended to be confused about this little trick, he understood that there was no harm in drinking Qin Xinming down, so he did not expose Qin Xinming's methods.

After all, Director Bai has been on the battlefield for a long time, and although he has shaken, he still heard the checkout

This matter, he told Che Hongxuan in a daze: "We will be friends in the future, you will be a guest when you come, and we will not let you settle the bill!" ”

Che Hongxuan expressed his gratitude, and of course understood the purpose of his words.

Full of wine and food, Director Bai Zhang Luo went to the first floor to take a bath, and the group went into the bath, rubbed the bath bed, and these drunks were lying on the edge of the pool, only Qin Xinming could still take a bath.

The waiter and the bather can't do anything, the other bathers can only let them, and the restaurant owner also explains that they have to take care of it.

Che Hongxuan didn't drink less, took a shower in the afternoon, said hello to Qin Xinming and went back to the hotel in a leisurely manner, pushed the door and saw Xiaoyu and Tingting there, bought a lot of fruits, but didn't say a few words and fell asleep on the bed.
