With the sea and mountains on its back, Qinwan is a good place to cool off in the summer heat. Even within the province, the temperature is several degrees lower than in Shennan, the provincial capital. The bodies of Qinwan people have already adapted to the cool climate.
When the baby got off the plane, the heat wave in Yangcheng hit him immediately. His whole body was wet and he felt uncomfortable breathing. He quickly found a restroom nearby. When he came out again, he was already dressed in summer clothes.
"Pan Debao"
Soon, in the crowd, he saw a pick-up sign with his name written on it, and the person holding the sign was a young man about his age.
"Nei Hou, Hou Gou teases Nei. (Hello, nice to meet you.)" Bao Bao dragged his suitcase up to greet her, now learning to use the Cantonese he just learned three hours ago.
The other party looked Comrade Pan Debao up and down, smiled and said a few words in Cantonese, "Neihou, umhou Yisi, shake the inside and wait for the left ridge."
The baby was stunned. Unlike Yue Wen, he had been traveling to Eastern Guangdong since high school. He could at least understand Cantonese, but his Cantonese level was limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
The other party smiled again, but this time he said in a strong Cantonese Mandarin, "Hello, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, the car is outside."
The sunshine outside the airport is very dazzling and the sky is very bright, but people are coming and going, bustling with people with various accents, of course, most of them speak Cantonese.
"Let's eat first." The young man pointed at his watch and said with a smile, and they got into the car together.
"Which unit are you from?" Baobao asked while looking greedily at the scenery of Yangcheng outside the window.
"Yanghai Municipal Party Committee Office, where are you?" The young man is very enthusiastic and generous, like a young man from the two offices.
"Oh, the construction site is in Yanghai, and I," Baobao kept an eye out, the preparatory office was just a temporary organization, "I work in the Qinwan Development Zone Working Committee Office."
"We are all colleagues," the young man smiled, but glanced at the baby strangely, "Your level is the same as Yang Hai, the main department level... you are not busy there, are you?"
"It's okay." The baby said vaguely.
"The working committee office came out in person..." The young man smiled, "It's not easy, but there are people who come to visit, some for half a day, and some for one day. There are really no such people like you."
"Our leader asked me to understand it clearly," Bao Bao said with a smile, very proud and confident, "I know a little bit about things on the construction site. I used to be in charge of this when I was on the street."
The word "in charge" can only be used for the deputy director of the street. He strives to improve his standing in front of the other party.
"This is very professional." The young man smiled, as if he didn't believe it. The baby also laughed, his eyes rolled, and the car stopped in front of a restaurant, "Shall we go to the Yanghai Municipal Party Committee office after dinner? ?”
"Municipal Party Committee Office?" The young man laughed again. Before he could speak, a waiter came to greet him. The two communicated in Cantonese, but the baby could not understand a word.
He looked around and said, well, this is a pretty good place to eat. Not to mention, Brother Wen is really interesting.
"Your Qinwan is famous for its seafood. Let's try our Eastern Guangdong cuisine today," the young man said with a smile. "A leader named Yue in your district has told you to take good care of you. He sounds very young. Is he the secretary-general there?"
"Deputy Secretary-General!"
Bao Bao said solemnly that raising Yue Wen's status would also put money on his face, and he understood this clearly.
"Drink some soup first." The driver smiled and served a bowl of soup to the baby, "Lao Huo Jing Soup."
People in eastern Guangdong love to make soup and drink soup, especially before eating. When the baby tasted it, he immediately gave a thumbs up. The meat is rotten and the soup is mellow, not greasy at all, and delicious.
Next, he simply didn't care about talking anymore. He was dealing with the young man's questions, but his mind was focused on the delicious food in front of him.
As the saying goes, I was born in Suzhou, grew up in Hangzhou, lived in Guangzhou, and died in Liuzhou. The food in Guangzhou is simply not that delicious.
"Zhanjiang chicken with sand ginger," the young man introduced with a smile as he didn't eat much. "It tastes best when dipped in sand ginger juice. You may not be used to it at first."
But there is nothing unfamiliar to Comrade Baobao, he is very used to it!
The marinated platter is full of flavor, and the deep well roasted goose is golden red in color, with crispy skin and tender meat, plump and not greasy. When paired with plum sauce, it tastes even better!
He picked up a piece of honey-glazed barbecued pork and felt that a lot of good things had been stuffed into his stomach. Then he smiled and said, "As a Cantonese, I don't want to be too happy. The food is so good."
The young man and the driver looked at each other with a smile, "This is also arranged by your Secretary-General Yue, let you try Cantonese cuisine... Well, dry-fried beef river, you can eat this."
The baby smiled happily, Brother Wen, Brother Wen, you are so interesting. How can you bear it if you eat like this every day? People gain three pounds during festivals, but I gain three pounds every time I go on a business trip. No, I have to control it.
You have to stay in shape, Liu Yuanyuan hasn’t caught up yet!
A lunch was enjoyed by both the host and the guest.
After getting on the bus again, Bao Bao felt a little sorry. "Chief Yang, welcome to Qinwan Development Zone," he invited. "It's best to come here in the summer, take a sea bath and eat seafood. We'll treat you."
"Okay," the young man didn't seem to take it seriously, but he looked a little sleepy, and the car became silent again.
But the baby still looked out the window excitedly. The car left the city and got onto the highway. However, after getting off the highway, it became more and more remote and desolate.
"Hey, master, aren't you driving towards Yanghai? Why are you going further and further away?" The baby couldn't hold it any longer.
"Go to the construction site." The young man sitting in the passenger seat looked back at the baby.
"Oh, let's go to the construction site first." Bao Bao subconsciously muttered to himself in Qinwan dialect. The other party didn't hear clearly and turned his head again.
The car was traveling in a wilderness. There was no human habitation for dozens of miles around. The question marks in Baobao's heart were getting bigger and bigger. When he arrived at the construction site, he immediately understood, what kind of construction site it was, and who the Southern New District Starting Area Preparatory Office was.
Real intention.
The construction site was very large. After entering through the construction gate, the car drove for a while before slowly stopping in front of a building. Looking around, the vast wilderness was covered with layers of soil and reinforced concrete everywhere.
Construction machinery and construction workers.
This may be a temporary office space, with simple temporary dormitories behind it. Looking around the wilderness, apart from machinery and workers, there is the sea and mountains.
A man who looked like a leader wearing a blue safety helmet and speaking Mandarin came up to him. Although he smiled and shook hands, he looked at the baby as if he were a monster. Goosebumps appeared all over the baby's body.
"Then Section Chief Pan, we'll go back first." The young man from the Yanghai Municipal Party Committee Office smiled and extended his hand enthusiastically.
"Return? What about me?" The baby was unsure.
"The arrangement of your leaders is that you stay at the construction site," the young man said with a smile, but he immediately said understandingly, "If you want to return to Yanghai, then you can work together among yourselves."
"Ah, the construction site?!" The baby's two confused eyes finally opened, but his voice trembled, "Then, what else has he arranged? How long will it take for me to go back?" On this construction site, there are probably no deep wells.
Roast goose and barbecued pork with honey sauce, it’s good if you don’t lose ten pounds, but you still want to gain weight?! The baby just wants to slap her mouth.
Damn it, I was so stupid and naive!
The young man smiled and said, "He didn't give details. He just said that he would wait until the construction period here is over."
"How long will the construction period last?" Bao Bao felt that his liver was shaking. He looked at the construction site that could be described as vast. He had only seen real estate construction sites before, but compared with this construction site, it was like an ant.
But here is an elephant, which is completely different.
The leader wearing a blue safety helmet looked at him coldly, "This is the first phase, and there are also phases two and three, which will probably take four or five years."
"ah!"

………………………………
On a highway in Qinwan City, Heiba was driving and Yue Wen sat comfortably in the passenger seat and fell asleep. The car was about to enter the development zone.
"Brother Wen, cell phone." Heiba reminded.
Yue Wen picked up the phone sleepily, but hung up with a smile.
But the phone was unrelenting, and Yue Wen hung up again and again without any hesitation.
The phone rang again, this time it was Heiba's phone, "Bago, are you and Yue Wen together?" The voice on the phone was very sad and angry, as if my mother had died.
"Yes," Heiba said with a smile while driving the car, "Why, are the people from eastern Guangdong beautiful? You want to show off so quickly! Be careful, I tell Liu Yuanyuan."
"Man?"
The voice on the phone immediately became weak. He looked at the construction workers around him and said, "Beautiful, all beautiful, with well-developed chest muscles..."
Heiba laughed and said, "Then you have to take care of your little brother and don't make mistakes! What, talk on speaker phone, okay, okay..."
Heiba pressed the hands-free button, and the baby's voice immediately came out from the phone. It was like gnashing teeth, the sound shook the roof tiles and filled the air.
"Yue Wen, why don't you pile up a stuffy underskirt!"
"Hey, Brother Wen, why did you hang up the phone?" Heiba slowly drove the car towards the toll station and said in surprise, "Okay, baby, you can speak Cantonese so quickly? Well, what does this mean?...
"He looked at Yue Wen in surprise, holding the phone in his hand.
Yue Wen turned his head to the window, whistled to the beautiful female toll collector, and then said with a smile, "It doesn't mean anything, the baby is saying hello to my whole family."
