Sixty years with spring

Chapter 183

Survival of the fittest (2)

He Xingchang lives in an ordinary residential area, on the second floor of a high-rise building, and the room is more than 70 square meters, which greatly surprised Che Hongxuan. He has been retired for a few years, his facial muscles are sagging, his hair is all white, and he is obviously old. It's just that the smile hasn't changed, and the eyes are still so kind.

As soon as he saw him, he took Che Hongxuan's hand, took a closer look, and naturally revealed a sentence: "You kid hasn't changed, you're still so vibrant!" ”

Che Hongxuan said excitedly: "I haven't seen you for several years, how are you?" ”

President He handed Che Hongxuan a pair of slippers, and when Che Hongxuan changed his shoes, he kindly pulled Che Hongxuan into the house, sat on the sofa and said, "After so many years, your kid has run away without a trace!" I know you might be the big boss, so I don't dare to bother casually. ”

Che Hongxuan explained: "It's not easy to do something by yourself, I'm so busy that I didn't have time to visit you, damn it!" ”

While speaking, Elder He Xing's wife came over to meet Che Hongxuan, looked at Che Hongxuan like a mother and said, "I haven't seen you two for several years, I miss you very much." Especially when I was sick, I often thought of Xiao Xie, thanks to her care when I was hospitalized, otherwise I wouldn't have lived today! ”

Che Hongxuan said politely: "I haven't come to see you for several years, I'm very sorry." ”

He Xingchang smiled and said, "It's also our fault, we have been here all these winters, and it is impossible to come and see us." ”

Che Hongxuan stretched out his hand and took out an envelope, which contained 10,000 yuan, put it on the coffee table and said: "Come here to pay New Year's greetings, I didn't buy New Year's goods for you, I threw down some money and kept my pocket money. ”

Governor He smiled and said, "You hurry up and put away your things, we don't lack these, and our old couple's pension is enough." We're glad you're here! ”

Elder He Xing's wife said: "You talk, I'm going to see the Spring Festival Gala." ”

President He said: "Don't talk about your money, I don't even want a 120-square-meter house with a terrace on the top floor of this community." I bought this small house with my own money, and I live in a solid place. ”

Of course, Che Hongxuan believed that this was true, he knew President He and knew that he was very strict with himself.

President He poured tea for Che Hongxuan, and said with a smile: "This is how it is arranged in the evening, a friend will pick us up at ten o'clock, go to a big hotel for dinner, watch the show on the spot after eating, and end at two o'clock." ”

Che Hongxuan said: "I didn't participate if I didn't know it. ”

He Xingchang smiled and said, "The purpose is for you." ”

"Huh?"

"Are you still making aluminum alloys?"

"yes."

"Is business okay? If there is a job here, can you do it? ”

"If the size and price are right, of course it can be done."

"Drink water, let's talk slowly."

Che Hongxuan took a sip of the teacup, and then looked at President He.

President He also took a sip, put down the teacup and said: "The situation is like this, I was succeeded by a doctoral student surnamed Yang, who supported two real estate developers here, one surnamed Wu from Fujian, and the other surnamed Meng from Shanghai. Boss Wu originally had three companies here, dealing in tea, timber and stone. Boss Meng runs a restaurant and has several chain stores. It should be said that these two bosses are very powerful, but there is still some distance to develop into real estate developers, and I am afraid that it will not work without our Yang leader. ”

Che Hongxuan nodded and said: "The most powerful thing now is the real estate developer, and you can sell it for money by almost drawing drawings." ”

He Xingchang waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple, first of all, you have to have connections." After so many years of hard work, these two bosses are well-known in the local area, and their relationship with our incumbent leaders at that time is also very good. You know, the car I used to ride in and the furniture I used to use came from them. Both of them have a good relationship with the local government, and each is optimistic about a piece of land, and is ready to take a loan to take the land and sell it to earn the difference. They didn't get a loan when I was in power, and they got their wish when I quit. It is unbelievable that the lot name they are optimistic about has been left for them until now. They first signed a contract to buy the land, and then used the land mortgage to get a loan, and then they made a large difference in the price when they sold it. Now they all have the strength, and they have developed a real estate project in partnership, and they are doing a good job. Now another piece of land has been sold, and construction has begun. I mentioned your matter to President Yang, and he also communicated with the two bosses and agreed to bring you in. I called you a few times before I came here, but I didn't get through, I guess you may not be in the country, so I'm going to contact you again after the holidays, if you want to, come over before I go back. ”

Che Hongxuan stood up and added water to President He, and said with admiration: "The times create heroes!" The house you mentioned was given by these two real estate developers, right? ”

"Yes, I can't accept it, I've been innocent all my life, and I don't want to get into this unclear muddy water."

At this time, Elder He Xing's wife came out, took out a pack of cosmetics and put it in front of Che Hongxuan, and said with a smile: "This is the cosmetics for Nurse Xie, you must bring them to me." ”

Che Hongxuan said: "Thank you, I will definitely bring it." ”

"Let me tell you, you have to pay attention to what Lao He said, these people have already gone through the immigration procedures, you must be careful when you interact with them, and don't be fooled."

Che Hongxuan said: "I will definitely be careful. ”

Governor He said: "This is also what I want to remind you, do serious business, and you must not engage in crooked ways." I'll accompany you to meet with them in the evening, and I won't be involved in the rest. ”

Che Hongxuan said: "No problem, I have experience in this area. ”

President He took out a room card and said, "I have arranged a place for you to live." ”

Che Hongxuan put away the room card and said, "I also brought a girl from the same school, can I go to the evening activities?" ”

President He said, "That's no problem. ”

Che Hongxuan said: "That's it, I'll go back and pick her up, and we'll go together at night." ”

Governor He stood up and picked up the money that Che Hongxuan put on the coffee table and stuffed it to Che Hongxuan and said, "You just wait there, and let them pick it up later." ”

Che Hongxuan had no choice but to collect the money, thanked him and went back to pick up Gao Juan. He took a taxi back to the villa, but the gate was closed. Fortunately, the lights upstairs are still on, indicating that Gao Juan has not slept yet.

Che Hongxuan took out his mobile phone to call Gao Juan, but he didn't expect it to be turned off. His head immediately swelled, knowing that something was wrong. If there is a problem with Gao Juan here, it will definitely affect the project, the key question is whether this matter was deliberately arranged by Gu Mingyuan, if Gu Mingyuan wants Gao Juan to leave happily and does not make any trouble for him in the country, he has no other choice. He wanted to call Gu Mingyuan and tell him about it, but he felt that he couldn't open his mouth, and when he made this call, not only would he not be able to meet in the future, but more importantly, he was suing Gao Juan. He originally wanted to go out tonight and not show his head tomorrow morning, and everything would be fine when Jin Xianglan came. It's not okay, it's not so simple to look at the posture, in addition to leaving recklessly, and then figuring out Gu Mingyuan's intentions to do things well. This matter is very important, and if you are allowed to do it, you will not be able to do it, and if you are not allowed to do it, of course, you will not be able to do it. Gu Mingyuan is a person who can give you the project, and there are a hundred reasons not to give you the project. It's for you, and if you don't do things at a critical time, it will be difficult for you to die. In any case, you can't offend Gao Juan now, there is no other way, the best choice is to persuade Gao Juan and ask her to understand her difficulties.

Seeing Che Hongxuan knocking on the door, he waved his hand to him and refused him to enter.

He wandered back and forth on the forest path in front of the door, unable to do anything, and the sound of the steamer chirping disturbed him even more. After careful consideration, he knew that he had to call Gu Mingyuan, firstly, he could find out the situation, and secondly, it was enough to prove that he was keeping a distance from Gao Juan. He resolutely called the phone, but fortunately, Gu Mingyuan answered it quickly.

"What's the matter?" Gu Mingyuan asked lazily.

Che Hongxuan replied: "I went to see a friend in the evening, and I made an appointment with Gao Juan to go to the restaurant for dinner in the evening, I don't know if there is any inconvenience to take her?" ”

"There's nothing inconvenient, if she wants to go, you can take her there."

"I just came back, Gao Juan turned off the phone, and the door is locked."

"How? It's not good, it's not good, she's not happy, this little thing can be done! ”

Che Hongxuan's head "buzzed", he didn't expect Gu Mingyuan to talk to himself so bluntly, he didn't know how to answer.

"Listen, you've got to get this done."

"Definitely."

"Don't treat her like a child, she has a lot of ideas and is very competitive, she can do anything. It took me a lot of effort for her to finally agree to leave, and if I came back in a huff, I wouldn't have to do it, and you wouldn't have to worry about that bit of work anymore. As an aside, you also understand the current climate. ”

"I understand."

"It must be done well, there is no difficulty."

"You can rest assured of what I promised."

Che Hongxuan put down the phone, unconsciously choked up, and felt chills all over. From Gu Mingyuan's cold words, he understood that the situation was far more serious than he imagined. He smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he would get mixed up like this!

He knocked softly on the door again, and there was no response from inside except for the barking of the dog. He knew that in this quiet night, not only could he hear it, but even Gao Juan on the third floor would definitely hear it. He couldn't give up, he couldn't give up, he had to encourage himself to walk back and forth in front of the door, and from time to time to look at the lights on the third floor that had not been turned off, he was confident that it was a matter of time before he opened the door.

A figure was looking out on the third floor, he waved his hand, and after a while there were footsteps in the courtyard and the sound of Labradors running. The courtyard light was turned on, and the door was gently opened, Gao Juan put on a towel and bathrobe with her hands in front of her chest, blocked the door and stood there and said angrily: "It's better to go to the foreign office to live, the two-legged toad is not easy to find, and there are many two-legged people!" ”

"Go in and talk."

"You can think about it, you are going to come in by yourself, no one invited you!"

"That's right, we have to go to the big restaurant with our friends to eat in the evening, and after watching the show, it won't end until two o'clock in the second half of the night."

Gao Juan sneered and went upstairs with Che Hongxuan.

On the third floor, Che Hongxuan saw that she had drunk a lot of wine, and said while taking off her coat: "You hurt me, and you stayed outside for more than half an hour." ”

"When am I intellectually disabled?" Gao Juan sat down and looked at the mahjong tiles she had placed.

"You know, Gu Mingyuan and I are classmates, and I have to take care of myself in front of you."

"You don't want to be a classmate, buddy, Gu Mingyuan is my uncle, just like my own father, if he doesn't believe you, how can he let you come to help me do such a big thing?"

Che Hongxuan smiled.

Gao Juan said unceremoniously: "I'll think about it, I should still make things clear to you, and then you can choose, you can leave or stay." This time, I will never come back, and I will not call Gu Mingyuan again until I die. I was not interested in a foreign restaurant and would not go to a foreign hotel. I'm an immigrant from North America, and this time I went to Southeast Asia to see my mother, and then I went to my aunt, and she said it would be nice to find me a husband, and I was going to see it, and then I decided where to settle. I transferred the house in the ancient city to Wu Yan and gave it to her for nothing, this is Gu Mingyuan's arrangement, I have no other way. This villa was bought by my mother back then, and now the price has risen and it is just time to sell. Sell this villa, and there will be no relatives and property in the country to worry about, and you will fly away. I don't have any other friends, so I thought of you and asked you to accompany me in this matter. ”

"Is something wrong?"

She smiled confusedly.

Che Hongxuan said: "I very much want to be your friend, if you believe me, come back to me in the future." ”

"That's what you said!"

"Walk the talk!"

Gao Juan smiled with satisfaction, and was now very happy.

Che Hongxuan felt that the problem was complicated, and he didn't know what game Gu Mingyuan was playing, so kicking her out of the country like this could not have a more appropriate explanation except for the crisis.

Gao Juan raised her head and said in a soft and trembling voice: "I was going to go back tomorrow, if I don't leave, the building will not be sold, see how he gave you the project, and see how much money you can earn by doing his project!" ”

Che Hongxuan secretly pinched his sweat, knowing that the little sister in front of him could do what he said, and he knew that his efforts were right. His voice was very small, for fear of being heard, and he said against his will: "Don't be angry, they will come to pick us up when you are ready." ”

"Ask for the address, I'll drive over."

"Okay."

Che Hongxuan called President He and asked for the address and the exact time of the meeting.

After Che Hongxuan put down the phone, Gao Juan said very sincerely: "I know you very well, your old man often tells me that your handsome appearance is what I heard Yang Xiaohong say before I saw you." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "So I already knew you, in fact, this is nothing, who let us have this opportunity to come out together, I am very happy, and I have long looked forward to this day." I was so disappointed to know that you left me dead or alive. To be honest, I'm afraid of loneliness, it's scary. Okay, let's not talk about it, we'll go out for a while, and we won't let you be embarrassed! ”

"You can't drink alcohol if you're driving."

"It doesn't matter if you drink or not, we can take a taxi or come back and drink all night to keep a memory."

"Yes."

Gao Juan smiled "hehe", stood up and went downstairs, changed into high-end clothes to go out, took out a small bag and handed it to Che Hongxuan and said: "This is what I bought in the duty-free shop, I don't know if you can like it, a man has an identity when he wears a famous watch." ”

When Che Hongxuan saw that the invoice was written more than 20,000 yuan, he was shocked, and felt that it was too expensive, and it was impossible for him to use so much money to buy a watch.

Gao Juan said sweetly: "Waterproof, don't take it off even if you take a bath, wear it forever." I don't have any more friends and wish you could take the time to visit me once a year. ”

"Fight for it."

"You must not break your word."

Che Hongxuan nodded and looked at his watch and said, "This is too expensive, I don't have enough money now, so I'll return it tomorrow." ”

"Do you want money? I'm really a friend of yours now, and I'll keep a souvenir. ”

"If we must be friends, I will stay, after all, you bought it for commemorative significance, and the money must be given to you."

"Don't talk about those useless ones!"

"It doesn't have to be given to you."

"Let's talk about it when we break up, we'll go out to play in a while, and when we come back, we both drink, I like to drink very much, I've never been drunk."

"You have to be careful in front of me, don't drink too much and call your father crying!" Che Hongxuan has traveled from south to north, and he has never seen such a woman in front of him.

Gao Juan said happily: "It's okay if Miss Jin comes, let's go on a trip together." You know that I can't stay with you at home, and you won't leave your career and go abroad with me, even if you want to, I can't marry you - if you are twenty years younger, you may still consider it. I heard Lao Gu and Yang Xiaohong say, Miss Jin is very good-looking, she has artistic cells and academic qualifications, not only do you like it, maybe I will like it too, how good it is to be a little sister again! If she's so nice, I'll miss her. Don't worry, I will help you! In fact, it's not easy for me, he doesn't allow me to mess around outside in the ancient city, just a friend of Yang Xiaohong, and now I can't get in touch, I don't know where I died! ”

Che Hongxuan felt that this was all wine, indicating that she had not drunk less at home, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I am not far from Gu Ming, although I have worked hard for many years, I can say that I am empty-handed financially, which is a pity!" ”

Gao Juan smiled and said: "I don't believe that financially you will be empty-handed, even if it was before and will not be in the future." Gu Mingyuan often said that you have economic acumen, political level, social experience, the ability to manage enterprises, and people are very backbone, according to his conclusion, you will start from the project of the ancient city, and the future is immeasurable. So, money won't be an issue. ”

Che Hongxuan shook his head and said, "That's a beautiful vision. ”

Che Hongxuan looked at the time, stood up and said, "It's almost time, let's go, I'll drive." ”

Gao Juan also stood up and said, "Okay, you can drive." ”

The two went downstairs side by side and drove to dinner.
