The Era of Hard Work

Since he had to arrive at the Youth League Committee before nine o'clock, Lu Dong rode his motorcycle out of Lujia Village after eight o'clock. On the way, he found many people were going to the county town. Then he remembered that the county's annual spring material exchange conference had begun. .

It is said to be a conference, but it is actually a super-large market, which usually lasts for one week to ten days, and is very lively.

There are not only things sold at the meeting, but also acrobatics, song and dance troupes, and lucky draws.

As soon as he entered the county town, Lu Dong heard the sound of music that shook the sky. After walking a short distance, he saw a big tent set up in the square in front of the Ningxiu Cinema, and a huge banner was pulled up in front of the tent: The Jose Song and Dance Troupe Welcome to Qingzhao viewers!

On the left front of the tent was a high platform built with scaffolding. Two young women in overcoats stood on the platform, holding microphones in their hands and shouting at the top of their throats to attract people to buy tickets.

Seeing that the effect was not good, the two women unbuttoned their coats and pulled down their coats, revealing the extremely cool clothes inside.

Then, hula la a group of people went to buy tickets.

This year is somewhat better, with a lot of restraint. A few years ago, there were people who didn't wear a shirt and twisted outside.

The most important thing for this kind of material exchange conference is to attract people. In some loosely managed places, there are people who don't wear anything and dance.

In the past two years, due to the huge pressure of survival, even the acrobats had to wear the coolest attire.

There were not many people at the meeting, so Lu Dong rode forward without detours. It seemed that there were quite a few song and dance troupes. On the road, he saw tents set up in several open places, and some women in shorts and tops Yes, the two embrace each other and perform some indescribable movements.

In the context of the crackdown, it is inconceivable that a similar situation occurred in the county.

But no one cares, it seems that it has long been acquiesced.

The place with the most crowds was not the song and dance troupe, but the lottery car. This year, the lottery ticket seller spent a lot of money and directly pulled a brand new Xiali sedan over.

Just like gamblers, many people believe in their luck and buy lottery tickets directly by the dozen.

Lu Dong stopped to take a look. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance. His cousin Hu Bin had just bought a bundle of lottery tickets.

Hey, Dongzi! Hu Bin also saw Lu Dong.

Lu Dong didn't want to get entangled with him, so he said, Brother, are you rushing to the meeting?

Catch the meeting. Hu Bin's attitude was much better than last time: Dongzi, don't you want to buy a few to try your luck?

Lu Dong patted his pocket: I forgot to bring money.

Hearing that Lu Dong didn't bring any money, Hu Bin never mentioned the matter of buying lottery tickets. He seemed worried that Lu Dong would borrow money from him. Don't take it to heart, we are cousins, the past is in the past.

Lu Dong responded with a smile: Brother, what did you say? I've forgotten a little thing.

Hu Bin was very enthusiastic: Are you okay today? Our brothers met and went shopping together? I'll treat you to dinner at noon.

No. Lu Dong said directly: I have to go to the county for a meeting, and I'm not free today.

Hu Bin thought of the exhortation from yesterday, and said, That's all right, someday when you are free, our brothers will meet again.

Lu Dong said politely, let's get out of here.

Suddenly Hu Bin's excited cry came from behind: I'm rough! Fourth prize! Tape recorder!

Leaving the street of the material exchange conference, Lu Dong turned south, came to the gate of a large courtyard, said a few words to the security personnel, waited for someone to call and asked, entered the courtyard, put away the motorcycle and followed the instructions, and found the Youth League Committee office.

After a while, Lu Dong saw Wang Zheng.

Lu Dong took the initiative to say hello: Hello, leader.

Wang Zheng looked at him and smiled: Here we come. He looked at the time and said, Wait a while, there are two more people.

Lu Dong waited patiently. Ten minutes later, two young men in their twenties came over. Wang Zheng briefly introduced them, and took a few people downstairs to take a bus to the county.

If you want to be elected, there are many procedures to go through. Today's preparatory meeting is mainly to go through the recommendation of the Youth League Committee, so that people over there can get to know them.

The county seat was not far away, and the two sides were not far away, and it would take a while to get there by car. Lu Dong followed Wang Zheng, and he did what people said, and followed the procedure completely.

This kind of thing is right to listen to the leader.

In today's social environment, if the Youth League committee recommends it, the rest is basically just following the procedure.

After completing a series of procedures, Wang Zheng brought Lu Dong and the others to the largest meeting room in the guest house, waiting for the meeting to start at 10:30.

Soon, a big leader came in to speak, and Lu Dongan sat quietly and listened, occasionally looking at the people around him.

As far as Qingzhao County is concerned, there is no simple person who can enter this conference room.

Among them were Lu Dong's acquaintances, such as Yang Fugui who wore glasses and a baggy suit that couldn't hide his big belly.

Seeing Yang Fugui here, Lu Dong instantly understood why Lu Chun asked him to be cautious, and no matter how cautious he was, he must not talk nonsense.

Among the other people, Lu Dong didn't know many people well. He could recognize those people from the resin factory in the chemical park in the north. He accompanied Lu Zhenlin to deliver things after the year.

The meeting was held very quickly, and it was not as long-winded as expected. It mainly explained the precautions for next week's meeting.

Lu Dong hasn't officially entered yet, so he doesn't need to attend next week's meeting, just wait for the news.

At the county level in this era, adding new ones is roughly a matter of a show of hands.

After the meeting ended, the leaders left first, and the meeting room became lively, especially Yang Fugui, who was quite active, taking out many invitations from his briefcase and handing them out next to each other.

A bright red bronzing invitation card was quickly handed over to Lu Dong.

Yang Fugui didn't seem to be surprised that Lu Dong appeared in this conference room, and invited with a smile: In a few days, my Hailong Building will officially open for business, welcome to join us!

People speak politely, so Lu Dong would not be rude in front of others, so he accepted the invitation and said, If you have time, you must chat.

Yang Fugui expressed kindness inexplicably: Lv Dong, I heard that your Mala Tang shop is doing very well. I think you want to go to the branch chain model? Come to the county to open a branch and consider going to Hailong Building. I still have a lot of shops there.

Lu Dong was a little surprised, for a while he couldn't tell whether it was sincere or a Hongmen banquet, so he said vaguely: I'm still early in leaving the branch, so I don't bother Mr. Yang.

Yang Fugui spoke very politely: Soon we will be in the same unit, and we will keep in touch more in the future.

His son went to the University City Management Committee for an internship, and if nothing else happened, he would stay in the University City Management Committee after graduation. The leader of the Management Committee was Lu Dong's old acquaintance.

Not to mention the leader, if the people around the leader can take care of Yang Guoqiang, there will be a lot of difficulties and troubles in this initial stage.

Lu Dong didn't know what Yang Fugui was thinking, so he secretly raised his vigilance.

Yang Fugui went to deliver invitations to other people, and Wang Zheng took Lu Dong and the others to meet other people.

Qingzhao County is neither big nor small. With an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square kilometers, the real power and power are all concentrated in the county seat.

These people are not exaggerating when they say that you can't see up and down.

Lu Dong also met another acquaintance, Lu Jiandao, the fifth uncle of the seventh uncle's line, who is currently the deputy head of the Cultural Palace.

But unlike most people in Lujia Village, after Lu Jiandao came out as a wife, he has not been back in recent years, even if his father in the village celebrates his birthday, he will not go back.

It belongs to the kind of people who come out and never look back.

Everyone has their own ambitions, which is understandable.

Lu Dong just went over to call Uncle Wu, and didn't say much.

He heard the third grandfather talk about Lu Jiandao, and his life was not going well. After all, he was on a curve to save the country, and he relied on his wife's family for help in major matters. His status at home was relatively low, and he was very difficult to speak.

I can only say that I chose the road, and I have to finish it crying.

After the meeting is over, I can't leave for the time being. There is a reception luncheon, which is in the cafeteria of the compound.

This meal is not good.

On the way to the cafeteria, Wang Zheng reminded Lu Dong and the others: You do what you can, don't bite the bullet and rush up.

Lu Dong thought he was going to drink. After all, this is Taidong. It has been tested for years and is the norm. There are so many rules on the wine table that it can make local young people in Taidong dizzy.

He is not afraid of drinking, although it is not very good, but the amount of alcohol is not bad.

When I came to the entrance of the cafeteria, I was a little surprised. Lu Dong thought about it. The Avengers and the Red Cross, which work in the same compound, put up tables, display racks, and posters to solicit donations from everyone here.

As we all know, most of the people who can enter here are people with a certain status in the cultural and economic industries.

Lu Dong instantly understood what Wang Zheng meant, and instead of going forward, he followed behind.

The Women's Federation and the Red Cross will really use their favorable conditions.

However, on the poster hung by the Women's Federation, Lu Dong saw a 12-year-old little girl with a text introduction about her. Since his eyesight was good enough, he could roughly see clearly that it was the little girl who was dumb due to illness. .

The people in front all left a number in the donation book and entered the cafeteria one after another.

This little girl is too old to talk? Is life going to be ruined! Yang Fugui's voice suddenly came: Comrade, you give me the little girl's information! In this way, you can arrange for me to meet the little girl as soon as possible. I am solely responsible for her medical expenses!

Thank you, Mr. Yang. The young female staff members of the Women's Federation were very moved.

Lu Dong looked at Yang Fugui in the crowd, and it was complicated for a while.

It is impossible for Yang Fugui not to deny these words when he said these words in front of such people, especially there might be big leaders in the cafeteria.

Lu Dong came to the table and glanced at the donation book. Behind Yang Fugui's name was written 10,000. He remembered Wang Zheng's advice, and followed the crowd to write down a figure of 600 yuan.

No one enters without writing anything, which is probably the default rule.

The lunch in the cafeteria was not considered rich, basically according to the standard, the meal was uneventful, only when the leaders came to toast and toasted the leaders in the past, there was some lively atmosphere.

After lunch, today's activities are over. Wang Zheng told Lu Dong: I have my mobile phone with me these days, and I may call you at any time.

Lu Dong answered straight away: No problem, I'll be here whenever I'm called. He remembered something and asked, Leader, is President Yang's invitation?

Wang Zheng said: It's up to you, it depends on your friendship.

Lu Dong nodded slightly, followed in the car and went back, riding a motorcycle to the University City.

The Dianxian County Material Exchange Conference was busy, so he made a special detour around the outside of the county town and walked west.

On the way back, Lu Dong kept thinking about Yang Fugui, human beings are really complicated.

I have a cold and a fever, these two chapters were written in a daze, if there are many typos, please forgive me.
