The Era of Hard Work

In the Lixia District of Quannan, an unremarkable office was filled with smoke. The two big chimneys had just snuffed out the cigarette butts. Lu Xia got up and opened the window. The cold north wind came in, bringing in some fresh air.

Wei Guangrong who was facing the window said: You want to freeze me to death, it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, close it quickly.

Lu Xia said briefly: Shut less.

The other middle-aged person had already touched the cigarette case, but retracted again: I won't smoke.

Wei Guangrong threw the lighter on the table: The plan is to lure the snake out of the hole. Let's run all the way back from Xichuan. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, I'm using Quannan Laolu again. You came here so late and saw the snake. gone?

The smell of smoke dissipated a little, and Lu Xia said, I saw a person on your designated list today.

Wei Guangrong raised his eyebrows: Which one?

Lu Xia said, Zhou Xuan.

Hearing this name, Wei Guangrong was not surprised, and tapped the table with his finger.

As early as a few months ago, a large area was delineated in his unit, but most of them, like Zhou Xuan, had considerable social influence and political identities in the place where they were located. To say that there is definitive evidence, at least there must be a certain degree of certainty.

At this moment, Lao Lu answered, Xiao Lu, please explain carefully.

I asked carefully. I came here from an investment conference in Pengcheng with the Qingzhao Investment Promotion Group. Today, through my classmates, I found Lujia Village to discuss cooperation. Lu Xia talked about meeting Zhou Xuan in the afternoon, and asked Described in detail what happened.

Old Lu immediately said: Who are you asking? Will it cause alarm?

Lu Xia said: My younger brother Lu Dong, you should understand that he is a strong political person, and his beliefs, responsibilities, and style are also strong.

In Lu Xia's position, the members of the family must have gone through a political trial. When Lao Lu heard Lu Dong's name, he nodded slightly: Lu Dong's words are not a big problem.

Wei Guangrong said casually: Lu Xia, your brother's mouth is much better than yours. He coaxes people to come and come. The old man in my family doesn't want to see me. Seeing him is better than meeting my son. All dear.

Lu Xia reminded: Speak the business.

Old Lu was thinking all the time, and at this moment he said, Zhou Xuan came to Qingzhao from Xichuan, and also went to Lujia Village, just for investment?

How can there be so many coincidences in the world. Wei Guangrong put away the unreliable jokes and said seriously: The last incident, we drew up a big list based on limited conditions... Heh, Lu Xia Bringing the new daughter-in-law back to my hometown, still in Lujia Village in the countryside, one of the people on the list arrived in Lujia Village within a few days, and found Lu Xia's younger brother, Lu Dong.

Unlike Wei Guangrong, although he is in the same unit, Lao Lu has more contacts with the local government, and knows that some things cannot be done recklessly. This is a peaceful era, and economic construction is the main focus: Zhou Xuan came here with a local investment group. , If we move around, it’s okay if we can be sure, but if we can’t be sure, what will the local government think? This will become a complicated and entangled public lawsuit.”

He mentioned another possibility: Lujia Village is well-known and has a big business. It is also possible to attract people to come and discuss cooperation.

After all, Wei Guangrong was not from an ordinary family. He knew that everything in the local area was centered on economic construction.

Among other things, the pressure from Uncle Ma's side cannot be underestimated.

You have to be cautious. Wei Guangrong said, These people are all wearing a protective film.

Although Zhou Xuan's authenticity cannot be determined, assuming it is true, it is very reasonable to go around a big circle to Pengcheng to participate in the investment meeting, use the name of the university in Quannan, come back to reminisce, and look for investment opportunities in the so-called second hometown, etc. , it is difficult to attract the attention of people like Lao Lu.

Lao Lu said: We don't talk about tearing off the protective film, at least poking a hole in the protective film to see.

It’s good to have a lot of autonomy in the bureau, but if there is a stalemate with the local government, no one will look good.

The two were talking, and Lu Xia, who was acting as a bait, just listened and rarely expressed opinions.

I'm going to Lu's Village in a few days. After returning this year, Wei Guangrong planned to visit Lu Dong's house with his father: How about I try to get in touch?

Old Lu shook his head: No, sudden contact with strangers will only arouse vigilance. He thought over and over again: I think this matter has to fall on the Lu family village.

Lu Xia raised his head and looked at Old Lu. Although he was taciturn, his mind was no worse than that of Lu Chun and Lu Dong, and he instantly understood what Old Lu meant: You want Lu Dong to go?

It's not that I think, it's that this person has already found Lu Dong. Old Lu said the truth: He will definitely find Lu Dong again in the future. We have doubts, but Lu Dong doesn't know. One can make progress. People who do export trade, and indeed have this kind of ability, will they impress Lu Dong? Impress Lujia Village? If things go as we think, both Lu Dong and Lujia Village will be involved, and there will be more trouble later on.”

Wei Guangrong said: This matter is in Quannan, right under our noses. Lu Xia, you don't know your brother. He has faced many things.

Old Lu went on to say: Lv Dong himself is very strong in politics, and he is also a party member. I suggest that you should apply to the higher authorities and properly disclose something to Lu Dong. Through his contact with Zhou Xuan, he can determine whether Zhou Xuan has doubts. As long as the doubts are serious, We can also target.”

Lu Xia thought for a while and said, Only for business contacts.

Wei Guangrong said: You will go back soon after the new year. If you really want to, you must be moved. He doesn't have much time. After all, he won't be able to contact you when you go back.

Lu Xia frowned: Lu Dong is good at business, can this work?

Wei Guangrong couldn't help laughing: What we worry about in this matter is the possible violent reaction if something goes wrong, not how powerful the opponent is. Zhou Xuan's information shows that he met some friends during his study abroad, and he will be a good person when he comes back. Businessman, this is not making a movie.

Most of the people who do this are actually very ordinary, and the more ordinary the better.

This is not acting in a movie, how many Bonds and Cruises are there.

After saying a few more words, Lao Lu made a phone call and got a quick response.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Guangrong said, Lu Xia, call Lu Dong later, and I will go there with you.

Lu Xia took out her cell phone and made several calls in a row, but the line was always busy.

What's wrong? Wei Guangrong asked.

Lu Xia said, The line is busy.

This kid! Wei Guangrong said, What time is it, and he's talking on the phone with his girlfriend, I'll introduce Yu Jing to him later!

He waved his hand: Let's go first.

On the way back, he finally got through to Lu Dong on the phone.

…………

The cold wind was blowing, the road was completely dark, and even the street lights in the new village had been extinguished.

It was dark and cold, and Lu Dong drove out of the new village in his Audi, and turned into the old village, which was basically uninhabited at this time, and was undergoing renovation planning, and came to the gate of the elementary school.

Two Santanas were parked there, one of which belonged to Lu's Catering.

Lu Dong didn't understand why Lu Xia called him out so late, it was so mysterious, like a secret agent.

Here we come. Seeing Lu Dong get off the car, Lu Xia opened the door, Get in the car.

Lu Dong got into the back seat of Santana, and found that there was still a person on it, so he subconsciously raised one hand.

If it weren't for Lu Xia, he might have even made defensive moves.

What! What! Do you want to fight your brother? It was very dark in the car, but the voice was familiar: Don't look at your strength, kid, I will kill you with one move!

Lu Dong recognized Wei Guangrong's voice, and said, Brother Wei, you don't need to pay taxes for bragging. If you have time, let's go to the ring to compete. Let's talk about it first. We have to use the rules of Sanda.

I'm not joking with you. Wei Guangrong became serious: Looking for you so late, I have business.

Lu Dong couldn't help looking at Lu Xia who was sitting in the driver's seat. Although Wei Guangrong mentioned last time that he and Lu Xia are quite familiar, why did these two get together at night? Is there anything you can't see?

What's the matter? This was Uncle Wei's only son, and Lu Dong said without saying a word, We have no outsiders, we come and go in water, brother Wei, just say a word.

Wei Guangrong couldn't help but add another sentence: No wonder that kid Ma Ming said you were righteous. He returned to the topic: It's not that serious, it's just a small matter, it's far worse than the time you saved Ma Ming.

Lu Dong stopped interrupting and waited quietly for Wei Guangrong to speak.

Lao Lu said that he only revealed a little bit to Lu Dong, it was not false, and Wei Guangrong only revealed a little bit, so that Lu Dong could understand what was going on: There may be something wrong with Zhou Xuan you met today, which involves Lu Xia's unit. Keep it secret, you should pay attention to him when you contact him later, as long as you are sure that he has any problems, immediately report to me or Lu Xia.

Lu Dong understood as soon as he heard it: Spy?

Wei Guangrong still said the same thing: Just know what's in your heart, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just maintain normal business contacts.

Lu Dong still asked, Don't I need to collect evidence?

What do you collect? Do you understand this? Wei Guangrong smiled: If you cheat him, or let him cheat you, let us analyze it later, and we will judge whether there is any problem with him.

Investors brought in by the local government should not be touched randomly, but if there is a certain possibility, they are not just for nothing.

Wei Guangrong wiped his hair, it was really troublesome to get involved in local investment.

But after all, he understands a little bit. Investors involve the core interests of the locality. This is not a special era. The core interests are touched for no reason.

After all, it was a peaceful age, so he and Lao Lu unanimously chose a conservative approach.

In many cases, conservative is not necessarily a derogatory term.

Wei Guangrong didn't say much, but Lu Dong understood enough, and said, In two days, Zhou Xuan wants to invite me to dinner.

Well, it's almost Chinese New Year, he can't wait forever. Wei Guangrong said: Create a more private environment, it's best just the two of you, and see what he does and says.

This is just a trivial matter for Lu Dong: Okay, no problem.

Be careful. Although he didn't think it was dangerous, Wei Guangrong still confessed: If you feel bad, find an excuse to leave.

Lu Chun also said, Be careful.

Lu Dong said seriously: I will.

Frankly speaking, many things he has done have been more troublesome than this.
