Chapter 433: No Growth Means No Price to Pay

Du Fei smiled, took out a tea can and asked, "Would you like a cup of tea before you leave?"

Zhou Peng asked, "What kind of tea is good?"

Du Fei said, "Zhang Yiyuan's Gao Sui."

Zhou Peng was stunned for a moment, "Hey~ I came to your house, so I deserve to drink a sip of Gao Sui!"

Du Fei smiled and said, "Drink it or not, forget it if you don't want to drink it."

Zhou Peng didn't really care about this, and sat on the other side of the Luohan bed and said, "I'll give you face, so I'll drink a sip reluctantly~"

Du Fei smiled and lit the fire to boil water.

Zhou Peng casually picked up the "Jin Ping Mei" placed next to him and couldn't help but shout, "Wow! Chongzhen version of Jin Ping Mei! You still have this good thing." Then he picked up the half-read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" next to him and said, "Brother, your spare time is good!" .??.??

Du Fei said, "What else can I do? There is not even a woman at home, like you~ Red sleeves to accompany the fragrance, every night of music and dance."

Zhou Peng pouted and said, "Do you feel guilty about saying this? You don't have a woman? I think you have more than one~" Then he winked and said, "How far have you and Section Chief Zhu gone?"

"What's the point? It's not even a start~" Du Fei perfunctorily asked, "What about your teacher Wang? Have you given up?"

Zhou Peng subconsciously covered his shoulders and said with a bitter face, "I have to let go! That woman is too f*cking fierce. I am not even a woman, so what can I do!"

The two chatted casually.

After a while, when the water boiled, Du Fei poured the tea leaves.

Zhou Peng suddenly asked with a teacup in his hand, "If I don't ask, why do I lend you that yard?"

Du Fei said, "If I ask, can you tell the truth?"

Zhou Peng was stunned by the retort, and then laughed, "Brother, do you know? From the day you came, I felt that we can get along well."

Du Fei said, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Zhou Peng restrained his smile and said calmly, "We are the same kind of people. We are both unrestrained people in our bones. It's a pity... We were born in the wrong era. If it was a few decades ago, I, Zhou Peng, would definitely be a celebrity for a while."

Du Fei said lightly, "There's nothing to regret. We are still young and can wait."

Zhou Peng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Du Fei who was close at hand, and his whole body was full of Exuding a hint of danger, he slowly said, "You mean... there will be a bigger turnaround in the future?"

Du Fei drank a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. "The Essentials of Zhenguan Politics" says that people can be used as a mirror to understand gains and losses; history can be used as a mirror to understand the rise and fall. The first 20 to 30 years of every dynasty will be relatively tight. When the overall situation stabilizes and the national economy recovers, it will naturally relax..."

Zhou Peng raised his eyebrows, "This is different... The dynasties did not have the system and situation we have now."

Du Fei smiled and said, "There is nothing different. Any system is ultimately the allocation of social resources. Don't listen to slogans, look at the essence."

Zhou Peng fell silent and sipped his tea.

After a long silence, he suddenly asked without thinking, "You also see it, right? Aren't you worried?"

Du Fei knew what he was referring to and did not speak immediately.

The two fell into silence again. After two or three minutes, Du Fei said softly, "No growth is not a price to pay~"

A flash of pain flashed across Zhou Peng's eyes, and then he took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Let's go~ I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go back to the unit."

Du Fei also felt a little depressed, and adjusted his mood a little and said, "Forget it today. Come next time and I'll treat you to a drink."

Zhou Peng resumed his usual cynical attitude and laughed, "Then I'll be waiting for you!"

Then, the two left the courtyard and rode their bicycles.

Du Fei returned to the street office, while Zhou Peng rode his bicycle

to a five-story red brick building.

In an office on the third floor.

A bald man sat behind the large desk.

If Du Fei were here, he would recognize him immediately.

This man was the one who asked Chen Zhongyuan to open the door last time.

Zhou Peng came in and did not restrain his unscrupulous attitude, and called out "Luo Tou'er".

The middle-aged man was used to it, so he said indifferently, "Is the place ready?"

Zhou Peng said, "It's all ready. We picked that yard last time."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Didn't someone buy it in advance?"

Zhou Peng smiled and said, "I know that person, so I borrowed it and saved us some money."

The middle-aged man was surprised and said, "Who is so generous?"

Zhou Peng said, "It's Du Fei I told you about last time."

"Is it him?" The middle-aged man remembered, "I think I included him in the list last time. Check the list, right? What do you think? "

Zhou Peng spread his hands and said, "Miaozi is a good candidate, but... I don't think it will work."

The middle-aged man frowned and sneered, "You mean Chen Zhongyuan from the Municipal Bureau? We want people, he can't stop us."

Zhou Peng smiled bitterly, "It's not Chen Zhongyuan, it's Minister Zhu."

The middle-aged man's expression froze, and he was surprised, "He caught the eye of Minister Zhu?"

Zhou Peng sighed, and said with some jealousy, "It's not Minister Zhu, it's the girl from Minister Zhu's family."

"Zhu Ting?" The middle-aged man blurted out.

Zhou Peng nodded, "Du Fei is dating that girl~ If this thing really works out, Minister Zhu can let his son-in-law come to us? He only does dirty work every day."

The middle-aged man scratched the few hairs on his head, "Hey? I remember that the girl from Minister Zhu's family should be in her twenties? How old is Du Fei this year? How can they get together?"

"You old stubborn~" Zhou Peng curled his lips and said, "The boy is energetic and the girl is beautiful, why can't you do it? You have never seen Du Fei's photos. What girl wouldn't love him with that look? He is also quite smart and his words are interesting. , I am a woman, and I can get along with it.”

The middle-aged man didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "If that's the case, forget it and take him off the list later."

On the other side, Du Fei rode his bicycle back to the street office and stared at the little red book for a while.

Wait until you get off work in the evening and then return to the courtyard.

On the construction site of Shazhu's house.

Everyone else had left, leaving Lei Laoliu squatting at the door smoking. When he saw Du Fei coming back, he immediately went up to him and called "Leader Du."

Du Fei said "Yeah" and pushed the car into the backyard.

Lei Laoliu followed suit and entered Du Fei's house.

Du Fei was not in a hurry, so he asked him to sit down for a while and then started to light the stove and boil water step by step.

After being busy for a while, he sat down on the Arhat bed and said with a smile, "Old Lei, you are waiting for me to come back. What do you want to say about Zhou Peng?"

Lei Laoliu nodded quickly and said, "You are wise."

Du Fei smiled and said, "Let's talk about it~"

Lei Laoliu swallowed and clarified his words a little, "Really speaking, I have never met that leader Zhou. It must have happened the year before last. I went to Wang Qiye's house to do some business. …”

According to Lei Laoliu's narration, Du Fei finally understood what was going on.

In fact, the situation is not that complicated.

That Wang Changgui, Wang Qiye, is a time-honored figure on the capital road.

He is more famous and senior than Mr. Wei.

Before liberation, this was even more remarkable. Many senior executives and wealthy businessmen had to call out "Seventh Master" when they met.

And this Wang Qiye’s vision and skills are really amazing!

He actually landed safely after liberation.

Although it is not as majestic as it was before liberation, the disciples and disciples under the sect are still there, and some of them are even doing quite well.

In Lei Laoliu's eyes, Wang Qiye's reputation, status, and energy were far superior to Wei Sanye's.

But he is such an awesome character!

Lei Laoliu saw with his own eyes that Zhou Peng slapped him so hard that Wang Qiye had to nod and bow in apology.

What a concept this is, it’s incredible!

That incident shocked Lei Laoliu so much that even though it had been almost two years, it was still fresh in his memory.

Only then when he saw Zhou Peng in the daytime, he couldn't control himself for a moment and showed his weakness.

Moreover, facing Du Fei at this time, his mood also changed somewhat.

As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

It turned out that although he knew that Du Fei had a lot of energy, that was all.

But today, Du Fei went home with Zhou Peng, talking and laughing, calling each other brothers, which really shocked Lei Laoliu.

After Du Fei heard what he said, he already had a rough idea.

In fact, it was nothing. Lei Laoliu accidentally saw Zhou Peng slap Master Wang Qi.

Everything else was figured out by Lei Laoliu himself.

Probably the only impact is that Lei Laoliu will readjust his evaluation of Du Fei through the analogy with Zhou Peng.

Du Fei didn't take this matter too seriously.

After Lei Laoliu left, he warmed up the lunch box he brought back from the work.

At noon today, he and Zhou Peng went out to eat vegetarian stuffed meatballs. The food in the small canteen was left over, so they could save on cooking at night.

After eating, he sat down and Du Fei turned on visual synchronization again.

Xiao Hei is still in the hospital staring at Liu Weiguo.

Liu Weiguo is still working overtime today, just like yesterday, wearing a white coat and lying on the table, probably writing medical records.

Du Fei was looking forward to whether he would take a detour to Fangjiayuan Alley after get off work today.

If he goes again, he can basically confirm his guess that there must be something wrong with the house over there.

Du Fei was thinking about it when he suddenly noticed a young man in plainclothes downstairs, looking into the window of Liu Weiguo's office from time to time.

Du Fei thought for a moment that this person should be from Chen Zhongyuan's side.

After learning that Liu Weiguo was Liu Guangbei, surveillance on him had been launched.

Needless to say, this plainclothes young man was very particular about his position. From Liu Weiguo's perspective, it was difficult to spot him.

It's a pity that when I met Du Fei, I synchronized with Xiao Hei's vision and looked down, and the secret was revealed.

Du Fei didn't care about this man's existence, since he couldn't be found anyway.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

Du Fei immediately disconnected the visual synchronization, rubbed his eyes, and asked who?

"Brother, I~" It was Xu Damao's voice outside the door!

Since Lou Xiao'e became pregnant, Xu Damao and his wife moved to Lou Xiao'e's parents' house, and Xu Damao couldn't come back for a week or two.

One trip.

Today is such an unforgettable day, why did you come back?

Du Fei stood up and opened the door while thinking.

Xu Damao stood at the door and chuckled, "Brother, you miss me so much!"

Du Fei laughed and said, "Brother Mao, how come you have the time to come back? My sister Lou is pretty good, right?"

While talking, Xu Damao was let in.

Xu Damao entered the house and put down the two bags he was carrying, put on his slippers, and said with a smile, "Xiao'e is fine. My mother-in-law takes care of her every day."

Du Fei said, "It must have been almost two months~"

"No!" Xu Damao smiled widely when he mentioned the child, his eyebrows raised and lowered as if they were about to fly away.

Then he winked and said, "Brother, I will bring you something good today!"

As he spoke, he lifted up the two cloth bags and put them on the table.

When I opened one of them, I found two bottles of Maotai liquor. Judging from the condition of the packaging, I could tell it was old.

The other pocket contained more, including canned meat, canned fruit, malted milk, and to Du Fei's surprise, there were actually two bags with "Chicken Soup Ramen" written on them!

Du Fei reached out and picked it up. The cover of the bag and quilt were all in Japanese.

Seeing Du Fei's attention, Xu Damao smiled and said, "Brother, this is called instant noodles." He lowered his voice and said, "Xiao'e and his father got it from Japan specially through some connections. Put it in a bowl, rinse it with water, and it's a bowl of noodle soup." , delicious and nutritious! ”

Du Fei frowned and said, "How dare you do this!"

Xu Damao's expression froze and he hurriedly explained, "After eating, the bags were thrown into the stove and burned. Isn't this also to increase Xiao'e's nutrition..."

Du Fei was stunned for a moment, then he realized that in this era when instant noodles had just been invented, they were really a high-end gadget, rather than the junk food that he had become before he traveled through time.

Thinking of this, Du Fei didn't go into details and just reminded, "Anyway, be careful." He pointed to the Japanese words on the instant noodles package, "This is a deadly thing, go back and deal with it as soon as possible."

Xu Damao nodded quickly.

Du Fei said again, "Go back and remind your father-in-law to be careful lately!"

Xu Damao licked his lips, probably knowing something from Father Lou.

However, Father Lou has long been unable to reach the real upper echelons, and only has some relatively peripheral relationships. Even if he knows something, it is just smoke and mirrors.

Du Fei simply said, "It's just a matter of a month or two."

By now, this is no longer a secret. It doesn't matter if it is pointed out directly. It should be treated as a favor to the Lou family.

By the way, let’s take a look at what the Lou family will choose.

Xu Damao's eyes widened and he couldn't help but vomit.

During this period of time, he stayed with Father Lou, teaching him by words and deeds every day, and he also made a lot of progress.

Understand what Du Fei means.

Du Fei stopped clicking and then asked, "Brother Mao, you are a fool, and you are still carrying these things... What's the matter?"

Xu Damao calmed down a little, remembering the purpose of coming today, and calmly said, "Well, that's what happened. Today, Deputy Factory Director Li talked to me and wanted to transfer me to the Logistics Department and make me the chief of the Materials Department... …”

Du Fei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this matter would eventually fall on Xu Damao.

He smiled and said, "Brother Mao, you can do it! It's only been a few days since I started working, and I've been promoted to section chief. Congratulations!"

Xu Damao said with a bitter face, "Brother, don't make fun of me! Is this a matter of congratulations? This is setting me on fire~"
