Chapter 1013 Debt Collection
Because his mother Xu Lihua is not in Chunyang, and his father Zhang Jiefang's tomb is not in Chunyang. Although Zhang's official has no feelings for this father, since he is a son of man, at least he has some filial piety. He bought candle paper money and lit the worship at the intersection of the agricultural machinery factory in Chun It's over. Zhang Daguan lit the candle paper money and bowed threely to the western sky, while Qiao Mengyuan put a bunch of fresh huā on the side.
Zhang Yang said, "Dad, you have a lot of knowledge. You have to be a good person!"
Qiao Mengyuan was surprised. She thought that there was no such thing as her father. She didn't know that Zhang Jiefang had done a lot of bad things before his death.
When the two returned to the car, Zhang Yang started the engine and said, "My father did a lot of stupid things during his life, so I told him to reform himself and be a good person after his death."
Qiao Mengyuan said, "You are very filial!"
Zhang Yang said, "I have never seen him, and his ashes are not here. The ashes are buried in Xiaoshiwa Village, Lujialiang, Xishan County, Jingshan City, but I have never been to his tomb to offer sacrifices." Speaking of this, Zhang Daguan Ren suddenly remembered all kinds of things in Xiaoshiwa Village. Maybe he should take time to go there.
Qiao Mengyuan sighed, leaned her head against the window, and looked at the drizzle outside the window thoughtfully.
Zhang Yang said, "Have you seen Aunt Meng recently?"
Qiao Mengyuan shook her head and said, "She seems to have forgotten us all."
Zhang Yang nodded sympathetically.
Qiao Mengyuan said, "I can't forget it. I'm always worried that she will suffer outside."
Zhang Yang said, "Since choosing Buddhism is to choose that bitterness, compared with physical bitterness. The calmness in her heart is more important. Maybe she really has peace in her heart now.
Qiao Mengyuan bit her lip, and her beautiful eyes turned a little red. She whispered, "I always thought I was very happy, but I suddenly lost everything. Tears slowly slid down her face. Once the gate of emotion is opened, it cannot be easily closed. Qiao Mengyuan cried very sadly. After so many days of grievances, they were all vented in a moment.
Zhang Yang stopped the car on the roadside and looked at Qiao Mengyuan's pitiful appearance. He stretched out his hand, gently rubbed Qiao Mengyuan's shoulder, and comforted her in a low voice. After a while, Qiao Mengyuan calmed down and picked up a tissue to wipe the tears off her face. He smiled with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry! I'm out of shape."
Zhang Yang said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. In fact, I still like you to lose your temper in front of me."
Qiao Mengyuan stared at him with some dissatisfaction: "You pervert, your happiness is based on the pain of others."
Zhang Yang said, "Mengyuan, I think you have been very empty recently. Otherwise, I'll give you a suggestion."
Qiao Mengyuan said, "Say it."
Zhang Yang said, "I can see that you are tired of doing business. I think an outstanding woman like you should have a higher pursuit."
Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "Cut, don't disgust me!"
Zhang Yang said, "Really. Look, I'm seriously short of people in the bonded area now. Why don't you come and help me?
Qiao Mengyuan said, "Don't you have Chang Haitian as a good helper?"
Zhang Yang said, "It's different. He is responsible for overall planning, but there is still a shortage of manpower in attracting investment. The top priority of the bonded area is to attract investment. I need a person with a shrewd business acumen and excellent political quality to hold this important position. You are the most suitable candidate."
Qiao Mengyuan said, "I'm not interested!"
Zhang Yang said, "So what do you want to do? You don't want to do business. You don't want to get married and have children and return to the countryside. You are not that age, and you don't have a suitable partner, so you'd better give full play to your own light and enthusiasm. Help me. The China Merchants Office is a good department. Those who are in contact with young talents and business Shi Nan, don't you think so?
Qiao Mengyuan said, "This sentence moved me. Let me think about it."
Zhang Yang drove to the Jiangcheng Military Sub-district. Qiao Mengyuan called in advance. Guo Zhiqiang and Guo Zhijiang were already waiting at the door. Zhang Yang wanted to send Qiao Mengyuan to the place, so he left by himself, but Guo Zhiqiang said, "You can't leave when you come!" He opened the back door and sat in: "I'm going to have a drink with you today."
Zhang Guanren smiled bitterly and said, "I have something else to do. I have to rush back to Binhai today."
Guo Zhiqiang said, "Are you sick? If the earth is gone, won't it rotate? I can't go anywhere today. I have to stay and drink.
Zhang Yang said, "People in officialdom can't help themselves!"
Guo Zhiqiang said, "The big official really takes himself seriously. At first glance, you won't be an official. The bigger the official he is, the less he does, the better you are. The bigger the official is, the busier he is."
Qiao Mengyuan knew that Zhang Yang was worried about Taihong Group. She smiled and said, "Some things are not in the right time. The little demon is leaving tonight. I arranged to see her off in Jiangcheng. You are her master. I'm afraid it's not good not to attend?"
Zhang Yang was hesitating. Mayor Xu Shuangqi called. Xu Shuangqi said, "Zhang [Shu], let me tell you something. Xiang [Shu] is very unhappy because of the matter of Taihong Group. I think you should go to his place to explain it as soon as possible?"
Zhang Yang was a little bored when he heard this. He said calmly, "It's not necessary! They want to talk to them and ask them to come to me!"
Zhang Yang hung up the phone, and Guo Zhiqiang gave a thumbs-up: "Zhang [Book], at least you took out a little leadership style. I have already seen that you are not in the pool."
Zhang Yang said, "You don't disgust me, get out of the car!"
Guo Zhiqiang said to Qiao Mengyuan, "Mengyuan, what's the attitude of this guy? Is it so bad for you?"
Zhang Yang scolded, "I mean you!"
Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "Anyway, I got out of the car. Someone is anxious, Guo Zhiqiang, do it yourself!"
Guo Zhiqiang was still sitting in the back seat, and his legs were crossed: "I don't believe it. Do you dare to fight with me?"
Zhang Guanren really had no choice but to take this man. He said with a wry smile, "I won't leave, but you have to get out of the car. I have to go to the Jiangcheng Municipal Government to do something. I promise you that I will come over for lunch at noon."
"Didn't you lie?"
Zhang Yang said, "As for you, do you think you are rich or colored? What's worth deceiving?"
Zhang Yang went to the Jiangcheng City Government for only one purpose. He paid a visit to Cao Xiangdong, the executive vice mayor of Jiangcheng, and offered him an invitation to Binhai to watch the ceremony.
Cao Xiangdong welcomed Zhang Yang's arrival. He owed Zhang Yang a big favor. It was Zhang Yang who relieved the dizziness that had plagued his father for many years. He knew that the reason why Zhang Yang helped was that he wanted to learn some inside stories of Beigang from himself, but Cao Xiangdong had always been secretly aware of the situation of Beigang. In this matter, it was like Zhang Daguan helped his father cure his illness, but he had not paid the medical fee, and there were still many elements of guilt in his heart.
Cao Xiangdong first expressed his congratulations on the success of the removal of Binhai County to change the city, and thanked Zhang Yang for inviting him to attend the ceremony, but Cao Xiangdong can't leave next Saturday. He is going to the capital for a meeting.
Cao Xiangdong said, "Zhang Yang, you are really awesome. It's only a few months to go to Binhai, and you have done such two big things that no one else can do it."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You can't say that, it's just that my opportunity is better."
Cao Xiangdong said in his heart that the background played a key role. The peers are jealous of each other and show more envy in Cao Xiangdong, but he does not think that Zhang Yang's achievements today all depend on his own skills.
Cao Xiangdong complimented, "Before you, Zan Shijie also applied for the withdrawal of the county and change of the city, but after so long tossing around, it was not over in the end."
Zhang Yang said, "Recently, the burden on my shoulders is very heavy, and the pressure is quite high. Binhai has successfully withdrawn the county and changed the city, and the establishment of a bonded area has also been approved. The opportunity has been given to me. If I can't do it well, I can't say it face it."
Cao Xiangdong said, "When did you become so scrupulous?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I and several municipal leaders in Beigang always have the same pace." In one sentence, the topic came to the leaders of Beigang City.
Cao Xiangdong was very wary. He thought that Zhang Yang wanted to learn some inside stories through himself. Cao Xiangdong said, "It is inevitable that there are disagreements in the work. Let's seek common ground while reserving differences and solve them through negotiation."
Zhang Yang is quite dissatisfied with Cao Xiangdong's official cliché. Cao Xiangdong is too vigilant and has a strong sense of self-protection. Although Zhang Yang has done a lot for him, this person has been stingy to repay so far, and no nutritious inside information has been revealed.
Zhang Yang said, "What does Mayor Cao think of Chen Gang?" He decided to go straight and not give Cao Xiangdong a chance to play Tai Chi.
Cao Xiangdong was stunned for a moment. He realized that Zhang Yang was asking him for something in return. He smiled and said, "I'm not very familiar with this person!" Cao Xiangdong is as watertight as ever.
Zhang Yang said, "After working together for so many years, how can I know something about him, at least more than I do?"
Cao Xiangdong looked at Zhang Yang and smiled. His smile was somewhat unnatural. Zhang Yang was like a creditor in front of him, and he was like a ruffian who owed money and didn't pay it back. Although Zhang Yang did not point out to let him pay back the debt, this feeling still made Cao Xiangdong very uncomfortable. He cleared You care about Chen Gang very much!"
Zhang Yang said, "There are often only two kinds of people who care about, one is your own friend, and the other is, hey hey..."
Cao Xiangdong said, "Does Chen Gang belong to the latter kind in your heart?"
Zhang Daguan did not admit or deny it. He knew that it was almost impossible for Cao Xiangdong to reveal the deep inside story of Beigang, but there would not be too many conflicts of interest between people like Chen Gang and Cao Xiangdong. Moreover, Chen Gang is the Book of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He is not a key person like Xiang Cheng. Cao Xiangdong may not have so many scruples. Maybe he will say more about Chen Gang.
