After leaving the cemetery, Song Yuanchao went straight to the city of Gusu.

In addition to sweeping the graves of his parents, he came to Gusu this time to inspect the drinking water factory in Gusu.

The drinking water factory was just established last year, and it took a very short time from the project to the initial production, mainly because of the relationship between Xiao Shao and Zhang Weidong, and the implementation of this large project in the local area was an excellent political achievement for both of them, and everything went very smoothly under their promotion.

When I arrived at the hotel in Gusu City, I stayed first, and met with Xiao Shao and Zhang Weidong directly at the hotel downstairs in the evening.

Everyone is a friend, so just a small gathering between private people, drinking wine and chatting about the factory, although the drinking water plant has begun to put into operation, but in fact it is only a phase, according to the company's plan in the future The scale of the plant is not small, all the plant construction and equipment are not fully in place, and there is a lot of work behind.

"Aid to North Korea, thank you for this project to be able to land with us." Xiao Shao stood up with a wine glass and toasted to Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao hurriedly got up, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile, Why do you see outsiders so much, everyone is not an outsider, there is no need to be so polite.

"Friendship is friendship, everything is everything, this glass of wine still has to be toasted. Lao Zhang, what do you say? ”

"District Mayor Shao is right, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns to the road, I really have to thank us Song Dong for this matter, come, I'll have a good time and toast Song Dong together."

Song Yuanchao agreed with a smile, the three of them touched their glasses and raised their hands to dry the wine, put down the wine glasses, and Song Yuanchao said to Zhang Weidong: "Brother Zhang, you are not interesting enough now." ”

"Not interesting enough? How so? Zhang Weidong was stunned and asked puzzled.

"Just now, Brother Shao still called me to aid the DPRK as before, but you called me Song Dong? What's wrong? If you are promoted, you can't look down on your brother? Got out of sight with me? ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Weidong suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "You guy doesn't know what to do, I don't want to call you Song Dong?" Okay, I'll still call you Brother Song? ”

"By the way, just call Brother Song, this sounds pleasing to the ear." Song Yuanchao nodded again and again, and Xiao Shao on the side also laughed, helping to pick up the wine and pour it for everyone, suggesting another glass.

The three of them clinked glasses again and drained the wine, and then they drank less quickly. After all, they are all old friends, not outsiders, and today is just a small gathering, so there is no need to be so formal.

"How is the old leader's body now?" After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Shao asked.

"The old man is in good health, he is still the same, and sometimes he still talks about you. Brother Shao, I didn't say you, no matter how busy you are, you have to find time to visit him. ”

"It's my fault, the key is that I'm too busy with work right now and I can't leave. Wait a few days, and next month I'll take some time to go to Jinling to see the old leader. Xiao Shao nodded again and again and said yes, he was Lin Daoyuan's secretary when he was in Yanjing, and he followed Lin Daoyuan to Jinling to take office, and now he has served as the district chief in Gusu, and his relationship with Lin Daoyuan is very deep.

And Xiao Shao is right, with the deepening of reform and opening up, especially Gusu, a city close to Shanghai, has always been known as the back garden of Shanghai, as the head of the district, he is mainly responsible for the work of enterprises and the economy, and he has worked hard for the local economic development after serving as the head of the district for more than a year, and he is busy all day long.

Zhang Weidong didn't interject on the side, and listened with a smile.

For Song Yuanchao, he has always been grateful, because Song Yuanchao is his life-saving benefactor, if there was no Song Yuanchao to rescue, where would he Zhang Weidong live today?

However, Zhang Weidong never thought that Song Yuanchao would be Lin Daoyuan's son-in-law, when he first met Song Yuanchao, Zhang Weidong was grateful and grateful in his heart, thinking that one day he could help Song Yuanchao to repay him.

But I never expected that instead of repaying the favor, I owed Song Yuanchao a favor even more.

Since Xiao Shao came to Gusu to take office, Zhang Weidong has helped a lot, and Xiao Shao was able to sit firmly in his position soon after taking office, and Zhang Weidong made a great effort. They also have a good relationship with each other because of the Song Yuanchao, and they are vaguely allies, and the Song Yuanchao has also supported their work since the cooperation in Gusu in terms of posts and telecommunications (telecommunications).

And now, Song Yuanchao has implemented such a big project here, which is equivalent to adding a political achievement to them, coupled with the relationship between Song Yuanchao and Lin Daoyuan, Zhang Weidong went further last year, and he is even more sincerely grateful to Song Yuanchao.

"By the way, Brother Shao, when will the second phase of our factory be implemented?"

Handing over a cigarette, Song Yuanchao asked, Xiao Shao told him that the second phase will be implemented soon, mainly because the land area required by the beverage factory is relatively large, and the three links and one level need to be completed by relevant departments, so it is not as fast as the first phase.

However, he reassured Song Yuanchao that there was no big problem with this matter, the procedures were all completed, and it would be implemented in a few days.

Listening to Xiao Shao's answer, Song Yuanchao nodded, he was naturally relieved to have Xiao Shao's assurance, but he just hoped to implement it as soon as possible, after all, time is money for Si Te, water and drinks are an important project for Si Te, and the follow-up plan has been arranged, if the plan is delayed due to production reasons, it will disrupt their steps.

For this matter, Zhang Weidong made a guarantee on the side, he said that Xiao Shao was busy running to the city these days to do the coordination of this matter, and now the coordination of the relevant departments has been completed, and the land can be handed over to Song Yuanchao in a month at most, so that he can rest assured.

The meal was very enjoyable, although everyone drank wine, but did not drink much, slightly drunk.

After eating, Song Yuanchao refused Xiao Shao's original other arrangements, and planned to go back to the hotel to rest early, because he had to go to the factory tomorrow to have a look.

Xiao Shao and Zhang Weidong were not reluctant, the three of them said goodbye downstairs, Song Yuanchao sent them away and returned to the private room to pick up something, and then was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice in the corridor.

Slightly stunned, this voice Song Yuanchao felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. He paused in confusion and listened carefully, coming from a private room on the side.

"Brother Wang, I'll leave this matter to you."

"It's easy to say, what is our relationship, we have known each other for many years, you can put a hundred hearts on this matter, I guarantee that you can take this boat."

"It's so good, Brother Wang, thank you, thank you, thank you so much......."

"Hahaha, brother's kind words don't need to be said, it's also your luck, if you come a few days late, maybe this place will be gone."

"That's ......."

Hearing what Song Yuanchao said, Song Yuanchao was confused, and from the other party's answer, it seemed to be related to some business, but Song Yuanchao was not interested in the content of their conversation, but the person who spoke.

After hesitating, Song Yuanchao still didn't ask who was in this private room, after all, it was rude for him to push the door, and Song Yuanchao couldn't remember who this person was. So he just stopped, quickly turned around and continued to walk forward, and when he was going downstairs, he ran up from downstairs, and the other party walked in a hurry, and almost crashed into Song Yuanchao.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bump it, did I?" The other party hurriedly stopped and apologized to Song Yuanchao.

"You'd better slow down, it's not good if you really hit someone." Song Yuanchao frowned slightly and reminded the other party.

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry ......." The other party continued to apologize, holding something wrapped in newspaper in his hand, and he didn't know what it was, but judging by the shape, it was estimated that it was two cigarettes.

"Forget it......" Song Yuanchao waved his hand, turned sideways to let the other party pass first, and suddenly stopped when the other party walked past Song Yuanchao, he looked at Song Yuanchao carefully, and asked suspiciously: "This comrade, are you...... Is your surname Song? ”

Song Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the other party, and felt that the other party had a familiar face for a while, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"My surname is Song, are you ......?"

"Are you Song Yuanchao? Comrade Song, isn't it? The other party suddenly became overjoyed and directly called out Song Yuanchao's name.

Song Yuanchao was even more puzzled now, looking the other party up and down, but he never remembered who the other party was or where he had seen it.

"I'm Wei Xuejun! Comrade Song, have you forgotten? A few years ago, the guest house, Liangxi Plastic Factory! Wei Xuejun lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said happily to Song Yuanchao.

His words suddenly reminded Song Yuanchao, Wei Xuejun! Right! That's the name!

Shortly after Song Yuanchao returned to Huhai, he came to Gusu to sweep the graves of his parents and stayed in Gusu for one night, and met Jiang Dongliang and Wei Xuejun in the guest house that night.

It was precisely because of that chance encounter that Song Yuanchao later took Li Daqi and Gu Jie to do hanger trading, so that the first gold was dug up from this transaction.

It's been a long time, and it's been many years.

Since the hanger sale was about to end, Song Yuanchao and Jiang Dongliang have not been in contact with each other, and the two sides have never met again.

As for Wei Xuejun, Song Yuanchao met him at the guest house, and he remembered that Jiang Dongliang was the chief of the supply and marketing section at that time, and Wei Xuejun was the supply and marketing staff under Jiang Dongliang.

At that time, Wei Xuejun was in his early thirties, and he was relatively thin, but now that many years have passed, Wei Xuejun's age is already four, and he has gained a lot of weight, plus Song Yuanchao is not very impressed with him, so he really didn't recognize him when he met just now.

On the contrary, Song Yuanchao's appearance has not changed much over the years, and it is not surprising that Wei Xuejun can recognize Song Yuanchao.

I didn't expect this world to be so coincidental, and I actually met Wei Xuejun in Gusu again, if it wasn't for the other party who recognized him first, Song Yuanchao really didn't remember who the other party was.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and Song Yuanchao immediately reacted who was the somewhat familiar voice he heard in the corridor just now, wasn't the owner of this voice Jiang Dongliang?

"It turned out to be Comrade Wei, hehe, hello, hello, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now you are still in Liangxi Plastic Factory? Are you Section Chief Jiang okay? ”

"Hello Comrade Song, it's really a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet again in Gusu. Our section chief Jiang is fine, but now he is not the section chief but the factory director, by the way, he is in the bakery, let's walk, our factory director has been talking about you all these years, I will take you up to meet ....... ”
