"This car is good, where did it come from?" Song Yuanchao glanced at Luoyang's car, this car is a brand-new Blue Bird, the Blue Bird is now a luxury car, although it is not as scary as Qin Zhengguo's Daben import price, but it is not something that ordinary people can drive.

"A friend's car, borrowed to drive for a few days." Luo Yang said casually, as for that friend, he didn't say it, and Song Yuanchao didn't ask.

"How does it feel to be in Shanghai?" Song Yuanchao smoked a cigarette and carefully flicked the ash out of the window.

"It's okay, coming to Huhai is just a springboard to put it bluntly, I don't want to work in the government unit for a long time, it's much more comfortable to be a gangster here than in Yanjing, you know ......." As he spoke, Luo Yang stretched out his finger and pointed upward, and Song Yuanchao immediately laughed.

"By the way, I'll go to Xiangjiang next month, will you go?"

"No, I have a lot of business over there, and I have to take the time to go back to see my wife and children on New Year's Day next month, where is your idle time running around."

Luo Yang smiled and nodded: "That's right, you are not alone now, you are all a father." Xiangjiang, I'll go by myself, I'll contact you when I get back, and then we'll meet again to discuss something? ”

"Okay!" Song Yuanchao agreed, Luo Yang went to Xiangjiang because of his company in Xiangjiang, although Xiao Qiao and they won Luo Yang's trust, but it has not yet reached the level of being alone, and the entertainment company is not as good as ordinary trade, let alone when they bought clothes in Dashilar, although the company was built and a few professionals were dug up, but the current progress made Luo Yang very dissatisfied, so Luo Yang had to go and see it in person.

A cigarette was quickly smoked, Luo Yang raised his hand and looked at his watch and asked, "It's not even seven o'clock, and the place we go to will go to work after eight o'clock, so let's go eat something first?" Going after eating? ”

Song Yuanchao nodded and agreed, Luo Yang on the Huhai side helped him arrange it, although Song Yuanchao himself is from Huhai, but he is far inferior to Luo Yang in terms of relationships.

Drove the car out of the train station first, stopped the car after finding a place, the two went to a restaurant and had a simple breakfast, and when the breakfast was finished, it was almost time, and then drove a little further to the second commercial bureau building.

The Second Commercial Bureau is located on the most prosperous street in Shanghai - Avenida Dam.

To the west of the building is the famous First Department Store (formerly Daxin Company), and below the building where it is located are Sincere Company and Yongan Company (Tenth Department Store), and near the former site of Xinxin Company...... These are among the four major companies in the old Huhai, and today they are also the most lively places.

Parking the car on the side of the road behind, Luo Yang took Song Yuanchao straight into the building from the door at the back of the building, this place had been to Song Yuanchao in the previous life, but because of the different system ownership, he had only been here.

Compared to when he came here for a meeting, the building still retains its original appearance, which looks similar from the outside, but the interior is completely different.

Compared with the magnificent decoration when the Song Dynasty came, the interior now presents an old appearance, with speckled marks on the walls everywhere, and even the marble with exquisite patterns on the ground is extremely gray, not to mention that due to the lack of sunlight, the interior is a little dim, and the stairs of some years will still make a creaking sound when going up the stairs.

There is an elevator in the building, but this elevator is not to mention Luoyang, even Song Yuanchao does not dare to take it.

The age of the elevator may be older than that of Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang combined, it is the most old-fashioned elevator with sliding doors, and the speed of this elevator is very slow, people have gone up to the third floor, and the elevator may not have reached the second floor, so they simply walked the stairs up.

On the fourth floor, Luo Yang took Song Yuanchao straight to an office, and Song Yuanchao glanced at the sign in white and black letters hanging above the office, which was the office of the Business Department of the Second Commercial Bureau.

The Second Commercial Bureau was established in 1955, renamed the Huhai Service Bureau in 1956, and merged with the Food Bureau, the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in 1958 to restore the name of the Second Commercial Bureau, and later separated the business of industry and commerce into the First Commercial Bureau, until the Second Commercial Bureau was completely abolished in 1994.

Judging from the name, many people will mistakenly think that the first commercial bureau is stronger than the second commercial bureau, after all, one is the first and the other is the second. But in fact, the Second Commercial Bureau is responsible for the work of the city's non-staple food, catering, and service industries, and even individual vendors.

When he arrived at the door, Luo Yang didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door directly and walked in.

Seeing him so arrogant, Song Yuanchao frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything and followed Luo Yang into the office.

The office is very large, more than 30 square meters, and there is a large desk against the wall, which is left over from the past, also called the "Taipan Desk", which is the kind used by the big compradors and capitalists in the old Huhai in the past, and now it is regarded as giving full play to the surplus heat to serve the people.

In addition to the desk, there is also a circle of sofas, the sofa is also a relatively old kind of leather sofa, the original color can be vaguely seen, there are copper nails inlaid in many places, but the color has become dark and black in many places over the years, but the place where you sit and the armrests are shining with the original luster.

Hearing someone enter the door, a half-bald middle-aged man who was looking at the document at the desk raised his head very unhappily and was about to reprimand the visitor, but when he saw Luo Yang who swaggered in, the anger that had just appeared on his face instantly turned into a warm smile, and he quickly stood up, stretched out his hands and greeted Luo Yang.

"Rocco, why did you suddenly find yourself here? Give me a call, I'll pick you up. ”

"What kind of phone call, I might as well come up directly if I have spare time, and you don't have to worry about coming and going?"

"Hehe, look at what you said, doesn't this show respect for you." The man laughed happily.

"Okay, okay, it's not that an outsider is so polite, this kind of respect is still left to your director." Luo Yang seems to be very familiar with this person, and his words are a bit casual, with a kind of arrogance.

The man laughed a few times, and then noticed Song Yuanchao behind Luo Yang.

"This is my good buddy Song Yuanchao, Lao Song, this extremely smart comrade is Yi Yuliang, you just call him Lao Yi, he used to be Uncle Wang's secretary, and later transferred to Huhai, all of them are their own people."

Song Yuanchao didn't know who Uncle Wang was mentioned by Luo Yang, but of course he didn't pretend not to know, but instead showed a sudden expression.

"Hello, easy." Song Yuanchao stepped forward and politely stretched out his hand to the other party.

"Hello Hello, Song ...... Song Ke? Yi Yuliang didn't know how to call Song Yuanchao for a while, and it seemed a little inappropriate to call Comrade Comrade, so he could only call Song Yuanchao the way he called Luo Yang just now.

"Hehe, Lao Yi, my Luo Ke is making up the numbers, but Lao Song's Song Ke is serious, and he is not a deputy or a main department, maybe I will have to call him Song next year." Luo Yang quipped on the side.

This sentence seems to be a joke, but it makes Yi Yuliang slightly surprised, Luo Yang of course he understands, the only son of the Luo family, now from Yanjing to Huhai to take a temporary post, although he is in the cultural department, the position is not high, but the Luo family's background Yi Yuliang is clear.

Now Luo Yang has not officially graduated, so he is only at the level of a staff member with deputy section treatment, and it is just a polite way to call Luo Ke. But Luo Yang reminded Song Yuanchao that Song Ke was genuine, and the meaning of the words was that Song Yuanchao was about to be promoted to deputy department, which surprised Yi Yuliang.

Looking at Song Yuanchao's age should not be much different from Luo Yang, it should be less than thirty, such a young cadre at the department level is rare, especially Luo Yang's casual and affectionate attitude towards Song Yuanchao, which makes Yi Yuliang feel that Song Yuanchao's origin is not simple, and he is not the same as Luo Yang, who is a high-ranking cadre who came down from Yanjing to gild.

Thinking of what Luo Yang mentioned on his phone a few days ago, Yi Yuliang felt more and more that it was possible. What's more, Song Yuanchao stood there with an extraordinary bearing, although he seemed very polite, but the kind of confidence in his bones was not something that ordinary people could pretend.

Thinking of this, Yi Yuliang was even more polite to Song Yuanchao, and after shaking hands, he hurriedly beckoned Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang to sit, and personally went to the side to help them take tea and pour water.

"Lao Yi, don't be busy, we came here for business, and we'll leave as soon as we're done chatting."

"Don't, Rocco, Song Ke, you are rare guests, guests I can't invite, how can you sit down and leave? Come on, come on, drink tea first, I still have good cigarettes here, the internal supply of the tobacco factory, try it? We'll have a meal together at noon, and let me show the friendship of the landlord. ”

Yi Yuliang was very good at talking, and put two cups of tea in front of Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang with a smile, and ran to the desk to open the drawer and deliberately took out a pack of white shell internal cigarettes.

Seeing this cigarette, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but laugh, the so-called internal cigarette is the cigarette supplied inside the cigarette factory, this kind of cigarette has no formal outer packaging, it is usually packaged in reverse with other cigarette packaging, so the outside color is white.

The cigarettes inside are also different from ordinary cigarettes, because the internal production is supplied internally, the selected tobacco is of the highest quality, and the production is more attentive, such cigarettes are far better than the ordinary good cigarettes sold outside in terms of taste, and the output of internal cigarettes is very small, a little bit a month, plus it is never sold to the outside world, this kind of cigarette is not available to ordinary people at all, and what can be smoked is related to the status.

In other words, taking out such a pack of cigarettes is equivalent to a symbol of status, those who understand it will naturally understand, and those who don't understand it can't understand it.

It is precisely for this reason that many people try their best to get this kind of internal cigarette to raise themselves, resulting in more and more of this kind of cigarette on the market, of course, most of them are fake, but there are more fakes, and no one believes the real thing, and in the late nineties, the white shell cigarette almost rotted the street, and no one sought after it anymore.
