Chapter 478: Snowy Night

Flying back to the mainland, Zhang Ke decided to stay in the provincial capital that night. Xu Si, Zhou You and others accompanied Sun Shangyi and Yang Lujin to Haizhou, where Su Jindong, Dong and others were in charge of receiving them.

Xu Xueping was going to Beijing to take up his post in two days, so Zhang Huan rushed back from Hong Kong to meet Xu Xueping before he officially left office. Xu Xueping was replaced by Executive Vice Governor Li Yuanhu. Li Yuanhu was promoted from Huishan Municipal Party Committee Secretary to Provincial Executive Vice Governor two years ago. The organization arranged for him to succeed Wen Zhengbi as Governor in two years. Who ever Thinking that Wen Zhengbi had to retire early because of Ding Xiangshan's problems just after he was transferred to the province, Xu Xueping stepped in before him and became the governor.

Zhang Ke never believed in the harmony on the surface. If Li Yuanhu blocked Xu Xueping for two years without any grudges in his heart, Zhang Ke would not believe it either. will believe. Conflicts are necessary for political existence. Taking into account Xu Xueping's feelings, Zhang Ke never took the initiative to contact Li Yuanhu. At this time, rushing over to curry favor is a bit of a remedy. Perhaps Tao Jin would also feel that doing so would be too flattering Well, politics doesn't mean merciless gratification.

In the mid-1990s, it was also a helpless fact that domestic capital still survived in the cracks of political forces. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

When Xu Xueping left the East China Sea, the East China Sea became the era when Tao Jin and Li Yuanhu coexisted. Li Yuanhu was just over fifty years old. When foreign media evaluated domestic political figures, they included him in the political power of the new generation in China. Donghai respects power, but time is not forgiving. He is sixty-three years old this year, regardless of whether he can jump to the middle within two years. Two years later, the title of Secretary of the Donghai Provincial Party Committee will fall to someone else. It's almost a foregone conclusion, but Li Yuanhu seems to have no qualifications to directly replace Tao Jin in two years. In this way, Xu Xueping really delayed him for two years. Like the dusk after the setting sun sinks into the horizon, the weather forecast says it will snow at night, the lights on the open space on the airport runway in the distance are flickering, and the planes taking off and landing are a little blurry, Zhang Ke is sitting in the car leaving the airport. Li Yijiang came to pick up the plane.

Li Yijiang's decision to go to Haizhou to serve as the deputy secretary of the Chengnan District Committee and acting district chief has been made. He will wait for Xu Xueping to leave Donghai before going to Haizhou.

"The city wants to separate the three towns and two industrial parks in the southern suburbs of Chengnan District to build a recognition zone?" Li Yijiang asked.

"Oh, the city seems to have such a meaning," Zhang Yan looked back from the drowsy scenery outside the window, "I haven't made a final decision yet, Brother Li has been concerned about Haizhou's affairs for a long time..."

"After returning to China, I knew exactly that I was going to Haizhou, so I thought that I had to do some homework in advance, otherwise it would be too passive to carry out the work. What kind of person is Dai Wenjin, why doesn't he compete with the city? The city adjusts The draft plan for the main urban area. All the Shatian west of the Shugang River will be included in the Xicheng District, which will shrink the area in the south of the city..."

"Dai Wenjin, I haven't touched it yet,

When he was the magistrate of Xinlian County, he heard that he was very skilled at work..."

Li Yijiang came to Chengnan District not directly as the secretary but as the deputy secretary and acting district chief, so he was somewhat disappointed.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, the most important achievements of government officials were local economic achievements. In the south of the city, there was a papermaking industrial park in Xinqiao Town and an electronic industrial park in Yilong Town. Investment, industrial production value, and local fiscal revenue increase—all far exceed other counties in Haizhou City. Li Yijiang was looking forward to serving as the first and second leaders in Chengnan District before, and it is easier to achieve results than other districts and counties. This adjustment in Haizhou City will remove the two industrial parks that are most dependent on the economy of Chengnan District from the south of the city. In the district, Li Yijiang was somewhat disappointed.

Li Yijiang raised these matters in the car at this time. Zhang Ke can understand his mind. Not to mention that Zhang Ke himself also hopes that the three towns of Xinqiao, Xiangshan, and Yilong can be operated independently. At this time, Li Yijiang has not yet arrived in Haizhou. I am eager to fight for these, somewhat anxious. Zhang Ke couldn't say anything, and after a few words to deal with, he moved on to other topics.

Xinlian County is a relatively backward county in Haizhou in all aspects. Dai Wenjin was transferred from Xinlian to Chengnan as a secretary. He did not have much qualifications to speak on the new planning of Chengnan District. It was not that he was weak and bullied by others.

Song Peiming was officially transferred to the city as the executive deputy mayor, and Dai Wenjin was transferred to Chengnan District as the secretary and acting county magistrate, which happened when Zhang Ke was in Hong Kong during this period.

During the dinner at Xu Xueping's house in Xinmeiyuan, Xu Xueping talked most about the economic issues in the province. The Donghai United Iron and Steel project was negotiated, and the Donghai United Iron and Steel Group will form the fifth largest steel production base in China, but this still cannot change the province's steel industry. In the situation of scattered production, it is necessary to further strengthen the reorganization and integration of steel production capacity, forming the third or even the second largest steel production scale in China; heavy-duty is the development trend of steel enterprises. Linley also had issues such as the Canadian and provincial highway network, the construction of infrastructure along the river and coastal ports, and the adjustment of the industrial structure in the province. Xu Xueping talked about it a lot. Engage in a set of worries.

This is very possible. In the 1990s in China, there was almost a set of local plans for each local government. The successor seemed to think that following the predecessor's thinking, even if it was very effective, most of the credit would be attributed to the predecessor. So Successors are very loyal to reflect the spirit of "exploiting ideas and actively innovating", which is especially evident in urban construction and development at the prefecture-level city level. It's not that there are no disadvantages at the provincial level, it's just that it's hard for ordinary people to directly experience the ups and downs in the province.

It governs economic activities in the entire region, and the province has limited resources. More of this, less of that. Focus on which aspect to support, and which aspect can be slightly slowed down. As long as there is such an adjustment, it will already affect the economic arrangements of the entire region.

It's perfectly normal for Xu Xueping to have such worries, but it's just that he can't say it clearly, and Zhang Ke can't do anything about it, because there are some things that he can't intervene at all.

Coming out of Xinmeiyuan, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning. Before returning to the villa in Lion Garden, Zhang Ke thought about going to 1978 for a sit-down. Sun Jingmeng left Hong Kong on December 16 and returned to the provincial capital, during the time she was in Hong Kong. Zhang Ke thought that his relationship with Sun Jingmeng had improved. On a gloomy night, he had just talked about a heavy topic. When he didn't know when sleepiness would come to his consciousness, it was a good choice to go to the bar for a drink.

When the car arrived at Xuefu Lane, when Zhang Ke got off the car, he suddenly noticed that it was snowing in the sky. He had been thinking about something in the car before: once Xu Xueping left, the situation suddenly became complicated.

Zhang Ke asked Fu Jun, "Where are the others, Mr. Xu?"

A lot of people and things. Zhang Ke doesn't care much, but Fu Jun is not only a bodyguard and driver, but also gradually takes on the role of assistant. For example, Fu Jun always helps Zhang Ke pay attention to the huge and complicated personnel movements under Kumho. Fu Jun excelled in high school, but his poor family joined the army in order to reduce the family's burden. Later, because of Li Mingyu's humiliation, he went home and wounded others and went to prison. After he was released from prison, he couldn't find a job and could only hang out with Sheng Qing. Zhang Xing asked about Li Mingyu. Did they date each other when they were in high school? Li Mingyu told Zhang Ke with a smile that Fu Jun was stupid and naive when he was in school. He wrote a few letters when he joined the army, and they mostly discussed study matters. Fu Jun was in the army at that time. Preparing to take the military academy exam; once Zhang Ke went to Fu Ken as a guest. It happened that Li Mingyu was cleaning the house at home. If there is a chance to see the love letter Fu Jun sent to Li Mingyu in the army, damn it. Where is the plot, it is simply a question and answer letter, and even the address is written with the words "Li Mingyu classmate" respectfully, which makes people think it was written during the Cultural Revolution.

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Xu caught a cold when he went into the mountains in Shangyang. Instead of going back to Haizhou, he went back to the provincial capital to rest..."

"Oh, Mr. Xu is in the provincial capital, so let's forget about it being so late, and go find him tomorrow."

Snow drilled into his neck, it was icy cold, Zhang Qian turned up his collar, and walked towards Xuefu Alley, Fu Jun wanted to find a place behind the alley to stop the car.

At the end of the semester, the Xuefu Lane at night is more lively than usual. Students who are used to studying all night at the end of the semester will have many people go to Xuefu Lane to buy food to fill their stomachs in the early hours of the morning. I will directly read books in coffee bars and bars. At this time, there are no air conditioners in the school dormitories and classrooms, and the winter in Jianye is extremely cold and cold. It is indeed no better than a coffee bar with soft music playing, The bar is more suitable for studying, and the bar is usually no longer noisy during this time. This is mainly due to the students of the Conservatory of Music at the end of the school. For the conscious group, the Normal University on the west side of Xuefu Lane is not far behind, but the most prestigious Tunghai University has a stronger local flavor. Those guys who graduated from Donghai University and became elites in this city are eager and accustomed to hang around Xuefu Lane, which is quite understandable.

Let's put it this way, the beauties of the Conservatory of Music and the Normal University are not very interested in the poor students studying in Tunghai University, but they still favor those Tung University students who have completed their studies and entered the society.

This game is almost the same as speculating in stocks. When a potential stock is lurking at the bottom, even if some people believe that it is a potential stock, few people buy it. This is probably related to the impetuous temperament of Chinese people and lack of patience.

Zhang Ke opened the door and walked into 1978. His body tensed due to the cold entered the warm room like spring, and he immediately eased up. There were not many people in the bar. It was past twelve o'clock, and soothing light music was heard in his ears. Sun Jingmeng painted light purple eyeshadow but was sitting behind the counter reading a book. Zhang Ke reached out and took a look, and was surprised. It turned out to be "Introduction to Socialist Economics". Learn this?"

"Scare me, are you like a thief?" Sun Jingmeng patted her chest. "When did you come back, where is your third leg?"

Sun Jingmeng asked about the third leg. In addition to thinking of crutches, Zhang Ke also thought of another thing. But thinking that flirting with Sun Jingmeng might not end well, she laughed a bit, moved to sit in front of the bar, and said, "Take out Brother Ye's wine and divide it privately...but the wine you drank secretly before can't be counted on me .”

"Having to worry about women, how promising are you?" Sun Jingmeng leaned over and took out a half-bottle of Chivas Regal from the wine cabinet, "There's only half a bottle left, drink up this half bottle, and the wine cabinet will be empty, are you Didn't think about enjoying a special treatment in the bar..."

"Forget it, wine thieves are hard to guard against."

Sun Jingxiang handed over the bar to Sun Jingmeng. Ye Jianbin rarely came over. When Zhang Wei came back, he still had seven or eight bottles of top-quality Chivas Regal. Considering Sun Jingmeng's drinking capacity, he probably needed to exercise from time to time.

Zhang Ke sat in front of the bar, turned around and looked in, and saw Lin Bing with her frail-looking boyfriend, sitting in a corner of the hall reading a book, and had a general friendship with Lin Bing, Zhang Ke didn't think about saying hello deliberately. Asked Sun Jingmeng: "Where are the other two people, why did I only see you today?"

"They went back to concentrate on reviewing. They are not here for a few days. It is said that it is the class of the four famous arresters in the East China Sea..."

Lin Bing has been preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and ordinary exams are not difficult for her. At this time, she is probably just reading books for the postgraduate entrance examination with her boyfriend; Xu Wei and Ling Xiaoyan are usually not in the mood to read. Wen Shu, you can't just sit and ignore things in the bar. It is better to simply review books in the classroom or dormitory.

Fu Jun walked in and told Zhang Ke that Xu Hongbo had just called: "Mr. Xu was afraid to disturb you talking to Governor Xu, so he didn't call me until now..."

"He knows I'm back?" Zhang Ke patted his head, "He also goes to the company every day in the provincial capital. It's really hard for him. Since he didn't sleep, you drive me to see him."

"Ms. Xu likes to drink, why don't I pick him up for a drink?" Fu Ka said.

"Alright." Zhang Ke watched as Sun Jingmeng poured half of the bottle of Chivas Regal into two goblets. He smiled and said to Sun Jingmeng, "Let's finish these two glasses of wine quickly, the person who will come later is a real alcoholic, and you will never entertain him with such good wine..."

This kind of Chivas Regal has 43 degrees, 700 ml, and there is more than half of the bottle left, which is almost a catty. Zhang Ke usually likes to drink it with pure water and ice, but he rarely drinks cocktails.

When Xu Hongbo came over, Zhang Ke and Sun Jingmeng drank all the wine in their glasses. Zhang Ke was sleeping warmly, and Sun Jingmeng's pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were full of drunkenness. At this time, there was nothing going on in the bar. It is enough for Wen Shu's students and two part-time students to take care of them.

Zhang Ke heard that Xu Hongbo came in and coughed a little: "You haven't recovered yet, why don't you rest more?"

"It's just a cold, it's almost gone, it's just a little cough," Xu Hongbo waved it nonchalantly, "I'll be fine if I drink two more glasses of wine."

Zhang Ke smiled and asked Sun Jingmeng: "Warm the tonic water, add lemon, gin, and some honey, and help Mr. Xu make a glass of gin and tonic..." He explained to Xu Hongbo, "Gin is the six bases of cocktails. One of the wines, foreign devils like to mix it into cocktails, it is said that mixing gin in this way can relieve cold symptoms, please come out of the hotel when it is cold, if your cold worsens, I will be guilty of a serious crime."

Zhang Ke and Xu Hongbo were sitting at the corner of the bar talking. Xu Xueping left the East China Sea, and Li Yuanhu replaced Xu Xuehu as the governor. The situation became complicated. Zhang Ke was a little unclear. Xu Hongbo said: "Xu Xueping left earlier, otherwise Haizhou can be maintained. The situation remains unchanged. It seems unfair to Tang Xueqian, but at this time Zhou Fuming has no ability to add to the chaos. It is for everyone to maintain this situation. Right now, the biggest possibility is that Zhou Fuming will retire next year The second line goes to the National People's Congress, Tang Xueqian takes it for granted as the secretary, the province will not want the secretary and mayor of Haizhou to be harmonious and harmonious, and then a mayor will be parachuted to Haizhou. It will be more uncomfortable if the director and the mayor are caught in the middle..."

At this time, we can’t tell others that Xu Xueping has a chance to make a comeback. It will take a while for Ye Zhenmin to become active politically. Well, the position Xu Xueping moved to seems to have no future, who knows if someone in the province will come out and whip Kumho a few sticks? Zhang Ke intends to live a year or two honestly after completing the merger and acquisition case of Jiaxin Industrial, and will no longer disturb the wind and rain.

"Why are you in the provincial capital?" Lin Bing packed up his things and was about to go back. Seeing Zhang Ke sitting in a corner of the bar, he greeted happily.

"I just came here, and I saw that you were too serious about writing, and I didn't have the heart to disturb you." Zhang Ke leaned his back against the bar and greeted Lin Bing.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, she walked out without seeing Lin Bing paying the bill with her boyfriend. Zhang Ting remembered that Lin Bing's boyfriend used to look down on rich people.

It was almost closing time, and people in the bar left one after another.

Zhang Tuo's time was about the same, so he asked Fu Jun to send Xu Hongbo back to the hotel first, and asked Xu Hongbo to accompany him back to Haizhou tomorrow to rest for a few days, and wait for his body to fully recover.

The two part-time students finished packing and left first. Zhang Ke asked Sun Jingmeng: "Shall I take you back to the apartment first?"

"The air conditioner in the apartment is broken, it's cold inside, please take me back to the dormitory."

During the two or three weeks at the end of each period, the dormitory buildings of Dongda University, Normal University, and Conservatory of Music will not lock the doors on time. Party members are also afraid of trouble, and they cannot strictly adhere to the original work and rest system.

But thinking of the scene of sending Sun Jingmeng back to the dormitory last time, the memory is not too good, Zhang Ke said with a smile: "You won't pick another brick and smash the door of your dormitory and blame me?"

"Look at how courageous you are," Sun Jingmeng said disdainfully, "There is a girl in our dormitory who is not coming home tonight, and there is an empty bed, if you have the guts to sleep in our dormitory tonight, there are two beauties in our dormitory, you I have also seen that you are capable and the two beauties will give you money tonight..."

Sun Jingmeng held a birthday banquet in Hong Kong at the end of last year, and invited several beautiful girls. Zhang Ke also knew him, but he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If you really think that you can take advantage of sleeping secretly in the girls' dormitory of the Conservatory of Music at night That would be too stupid, and maybe an evil woman like Sun Jingmeng threatened to take any nude photos.

Zhang Ke shook his head and said, "I'll take you back to the dormitory. I really don't have the guts to sleep in your dormitory at night."

After leaving the bar, I realized that a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. It started to snow around twelve o'clock, and it had only been two hours, which was quite thick. The snowflakes were still fluttering under the wind of the north wind. Sun Jingmeng was sitting in a goose yellow cashmere coat and a long knitted skirt inside. Both the jacket and the long knitted skirt were three inches above the knee. It's sexy and unreasonable, but in the wind and snow, it's still really enough. With my arms trembling, I took two steps forward, slipped, and stood there for Zhang Ke to come over and hug his arms.

Zhang Ke and the others came back directly from Hong Kong. The daytime temperature in Hong Kong is still 20 degrees today, but at dusk in Jianye, it is already minus four or five degrees. When the north wind and snow come down, it is estimated that it will drop a few more degrees. In Hong Kong, I wear an extra windbreaker. I don’t feel cold in the car or indoors. When I come out now, the wind is biting. Wearing single leather shoes, I get stuck in the snow. The snow soaks my socks, and my ankles are icy. Fortunately, I drank a lot of wine in the bar.

The snow on the road is so thick, it must be difficult for Fu Jun to drive, so he called him against the wind, and the car was gliding along the road, so he said to him: "Send Teacher Xu back to the hotel, you can stay in the hotel too, and drive at night It's too dangerous, you don't have to come back to pick me up, I'll find a place to sleep by myself..."
