Chapter 47: Seizing Food from the Tigers Mouth (Part 1)
Manager Guo introduced that the store is in the alley behind the guest house.
What Lu Ming didn't expect was that it turned out to be a rice noodle shop, and the recipe and taste were very similar to the rice noodles he liked in his previous life.
After sitting with him for a while, Manager Guo said he was busy with something and left. He probably felt that this relative of Director Gong was too picky and unhappy to do things, and it seemed that he was not someone who could do things well.
"Give me another piece!" He had never tasted such authentic rice noodles before in this world. Lu Ming ate so much that he couldn't even finish one portion. He pointed at the black-headed bowl on another small table.
, "Add a pound of barbecued pork to her!" It can be seen that blackheads can be eaten, and they like delicious food.
The landlady was shocked. No one here eats meat like this. One pound of barbecued pork is enough for twenty servings of rice noodles.
But the other party was staying at a county guest house, and Manager Guo came with him, so he probably wouldn't default on the bill.
The landlady was about to go back to fish for barbecued pork when she suddenly smiled and said: "Manager Li."
But a middle-aged man came in carrying a large briefcase, with middle-parted hair and black-rimmed glasses. His black clothes and pants were a little too big. They were originally a very energetic uniform worn by civil servants, but when he wore it,
It gives people a feeling of being cowardly.
He nodded to the landlady, rushed over, and sat opposite Lu Ming. He took out a business card with both hands and handed it over, "Mr. Lu, my name is Li, Li Zhaoji." He stuttered a little.
Lu Ming looked at the business card, but he was the deputy manager of the guest house.
Lu Ming smiled at him: "You're here to eat rice noodles too?"
"No, no, I'm here to find you..."
"Oh?" Lu Ming looked at him.
"Yeah, there's nothing special. I just want to get to know Mr. Lu. If you need help in the future, Mr. Lu, just call me..." Li Zhaoji said with great effort, finishing such a long sentence,
It's not easy either.
Lu Ming nodded indifferently.
"I know that Mr. Lu is not just an ordinary person. Those who came with Mr. Lu are not friends who came with Mr. Lu to gain glory. They are Mr. Lu's bodyguards..." Li Zhaoji's words here were overwhelming.
The sound is very low and seems to be smoother.
"Oh?" Lu Ming finally looked at him seriously.
"Anyway, in short, Mr. Lu has some use for me, just ask..." He put the briefcase in his hand on the dining table, patted it gently, and stood up: "I won't disturb you, please."
Bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.
Lu Ming looked at the briefcase and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
There are three main rooms, and there are wing rooms in the east and west. The family courtyard of the county office has this layout. The yard is not big, but the door is tight, and there are armed guards at the gate of the family courtyard.
Lu Ming wandered around the small courtyard, looking at the roses planted under the window sill of the main room. The tender flower buds were popping out and were about to bloom.
"The environment is good!" Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Master Gong nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, it's not bad. It's better than I thought."
Both of their voices were very low, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying through the wall.
Lu Ming knew that from the moment he got off the bus at this station, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him and waiting for these uninvited guests, and how many ears were listening for news about him and others. Many people were using magnifying glasses to observe each of them.
Most of the pistol team did not wait with him, but stayed in Montenegro. There were only three or four guards who took up the post with Lao Gong, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
"Have you met the two deputy governors?" Lu Ming asked, "How do you feel?" The deputy governor is the deputy county magistrate.
Lao Gong's voice became lower and lower, and the two chatted for a long time before Lu Ming left.
…
Friendship Hotel is the best hotel in Longgang County, located in the east wing of the guest house.
At this time, in the private room on the second floor, Deputy Governor Gao Shaoting was flipping through several pages of letters in his hand, and looking up at Lu Ming from time to time.
Last night, after giving Director Gong a clean break, Director Gong had a secret conversation with him. He had a vague idea that in fact, Mr. Lu was not a relative of Director Gong, but the agent of the Western County Magistrate, White Gloves.
In this case, no matter what, he has to get a share of Longgang's broth.
But unfortunately, no one from the Hu family came to tell me, which is really annoying. Since they are Westerners, they don't want to share the delicacies of the Hu family, but they insist on eating the leftovers from Longgang.
The four largest coal mines in Longgang are directly under the Heishan Mining Bureau. In these four coal mines, the county office has no say at all.
The remaining dozens of small coal mines are actually not as good as one of the four major coal mines together.
Not to mention that among the four major mines, there is also a super mineral deposit like the Jordan Coal Mine.
Gao Shaoting cursed in his heart, and gritted his teeth when he saw the letter handed over by the guy named Lu Ming. It seemed that he was very knowledgeable and had investigated the small coal mine in Longgang in detail.
Nowadays, it is true that there is a coal mine in Sansha Town, and the original thirty-year mining rights have expired. This surnamed Lu wrote a letter, the contract is surprisingly strict, and requires the ninety-nine-year mining rights.
To say ten or eight years, of course there is no problem, but ninety-nine years? After County Magistrate Xiyang leaves office, I am afraid there will be another fight.
However, that is none of his business. He can seal the deal as governor. As the person in charge, there is no need to stop him.
"Mr. Lu, do you know who the owner of Sansha Coal Mine is who wants to renew his contract?" Gao Shaoting asked with a smile.
That man's surname was also Hu, and some people had seen him drinking with a respectable member of the Hu family in Montenegro, and they all thought he was a distant relative of the Hu family.
So three years ago, the gangster nicknamed "Brigadier Hu" made a fuss and seemed to have kidnapped the relatives of the original mine owner and forced the mine owner to transfer the coal mining rights to him that still had a three-year mining contract.
Since years ago, this "Brigadier Hu" has been trying to renew his contract.
The stupid governor who was dying was fooled by him and promised to extend his life for another thirty years.
But I had already found out that Brigadier Hu was just trying to pull the flag and had nothing to do with the Hu family. The most ferocious member of the Hu family was nicknamed "Commander Hu", so he gathered some ruffians and called himself "Brigade Hu".
"Long", it looks like that.
I want to renew my contract but I don't want to pay a huge sum of money.
He just dragged it on himself, he didn't know how to do it, and he didn't even think about being filial.
Then, that fool died inexplicably, the governor was vacant, and the renewal of the contract was further delayed.
Now since the new governor wants this mine, there is nothing to say.
However, I want to see if the other party knows the details of Brigadier Hu? Or is he still a member of the Hu family?
Therefore, Gao Shaoting smiled and asked if Mr. Lu knew who the original owner of Sansha Coal Mine was.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "The brigade commander is much younger than the commander, right?"
Gao Shaoting nodded inwardly. Sure enough, County Magistrate Xiyang seems to have some integrity and may not directly compete with the Hu family for food, but he clearly doesn't care about the smelly fish and rotten shrimps under the Hu family.
"Okay, then I wish Mr. Lu that he will dig out the light and turn the black coal into gold!" As he spoke, he picked up the pen and signed the letter.
Lu Ming smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Governor Gao!"
