Early the next morning, the whole family mobilized and put on new clothes, as if today was the Chinese New Year, and several children held firecrackers everywhere.
Someone in the village has already started setting off cannons, and the air is filled with an indescribable New Year flavor.
Jiang Xiaohong was still dressing up in the house, and her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law had to clean it up for her. Jiang Xiaoyan had been busy since she got up, and the food was ready to be served at any time.
Jiang Fiqiao and Jiang Fulu bought firecrackers and placed them waiting on the roadside.
"Lu Feng, please help me with a favor later." Jiang Fuqiao came over, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Well, I have a buddy who lives here in front. He has some small work to do, so you can help him with it.
Let’s eat there for lunch.”
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Lu Feng frowned.
Jiang Fulu saw that his elder brother was about to send Lu Feng away, and said hurriedly: "What's inappropriate? That brother is very nice, and you also know more people. Today is not the New Year's Eve, so it doesn't matter whether you are eating at home or not.
"
Lu Feng saw that the two of them were determined not to let him stay at home, and he was too lazy to argue with them, so he nodded and agreed. At around ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng's pager rang.
I took it out and took a look at it. It said: This is Mr. Lu. I am a classmate of Secretary Li. Please call me back. There is a phone number behind it.
Lu Feng arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, dialed the phone number, and said, "Hi, I'm Lu Feng."
"Hello, Boss Lu, I'm not disturbing you." The voice on the other end of the phone was particularly enthusiastic.
"No, you haven't told me yet, what do you call me?"
"My surname is Zhu. I am now the deputy director of the county office. You can just call me Xiao Zhu. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. I have saved a dinner. Do you think you can give me a favor?" said the words on the other end of the phone.
It can be said that he is extremely polite.
If Lu Feng didn't agree, he would feel a little uncomfortable and said, "Tell me the address. Who is there?"
"County Magistrate Wang is here, along with some leaders, at the Yong'an Hotel on Zhongnan Road in the county. You can see it as soon as you arrive at the bank building."
"Okay, okay!" Lu Feng hung up the phone.
"Who are you, son-in-law Xiaoyan, calling? He looks very busy, and someone contacts him every day." The old aunt asked curiously.
"It's just that some people in the county have a dinner party and they can't get rid of it. There's nothing they can do about it."
"Oh, this looks like a promising person. Didn't it mean that Xiaohong's son-in-law is coming to visit today? Big boss, won't you take care of him?"
"There are so many people, and I'm the only one left. Leave the money here."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he went out. The old aunt stood there and looked at Lu Feng's back as he got into the car. She always felt that it was not like he was pretending. She had seen some people who rented cars or borrowed cars and came back. How pretentious!
Unlike Lu Feng, he was as smooth and harmonious as the car.
Lu Feng drove home and didn't even get out of the car. He lowered the window and said to Jiang Fuqiao: "There's something going on in our county. I can't help you with that brother's matter."
"What's going on in the county?"
“I have a dinner party that I can’t refuse!”
"That means you won't be back at noon, right?"
"right!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Lu Feng waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly thought about how busy Jiang Xiaoyan would be at noon and how Duoduo would be ignored. He got out of the car, took Duoduo with him, and headed straight for the county town.
There are not many buildings in the city now, let alone in a county with only one simple cross street. The bank building looked extremely tall. Lu Feng saw the Yong'an Hotel next to him, and there was a man in his mid-thirties standing at the door.
"Are you Boss Lu?" Zhu Zhiqiang looked at Lu Feng in disbelief. He was too young. He wondered why he must be a man in his forties or fifties.
"Yes, it's me!" Lu Feng said as he hugged Duoduo out of the car and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, there was no one to take my daughter with me, so I took her out. Do you mind?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Zhiqiang explained: "Let's go upstairs first. The leader will be here soon."
In the private room upstairs, Duoduo was sitting there playing alone. Lu Feng looked at Zhu Zhiqiang and said: "I agreed in advance that I can only show my face. My investment plan next year will be very large. As for investment in the county, I have never thought about it.
I don’t know how to invest, understand?”
"I know, it's just a name. I'll do it myself. I'm doing an assessment recently. After the New Year, I'll have a meeting. If it's successful, maybe I will be a director, deputy director or something. Of course, I will definitely go to the road administration department.
, I can't go to fertile places like water conservancy." Zhu Zhiqiang said sincerely: "If you need me in the future, just ask."
These words are purely polite. With Lu Feng's current worth, it is difficult to ask for help from him. Let's give each other some face.
"Fine!"
At around eleven o'clock, several cars parked downstairs, and a few men in gray suits got out, and another in a furry leather jacket went upstairs, talking and laughing.
When Zhu Zhiqiang saw a few people going upstairs, he hurriedly greeted them and said, "Mr. Lu is already here. He is a big businessman who makes food. He is celebrating the New Year. It is too disturbing to him."
Lu Feng took a look at the four or five men. They all looked similar. The leader was a man in his forties, short, a little fat, and wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"Welcome, Boss Lu. We hope you can invest more in us. This is also your hometown. Don't forget the well digger." The other party grabbed Lu Feng's hand and shook it.
"I'm not from here, my wife is from here." Lu Feng said awkwardly.
"We are my mother's family!"
"This is our County Magistrate Wang, Wang Yong!" Zhu Zhiqiang introduced other people, who were either from this bureau or deputy positions. Lu Feng didn't bother to remember. Anyway, Zhu Zhiqiang said that he would just handle this meal and be responsible for it.
say.
Everyone took their seats politely and found a little girl. The atmosphere at the dinner table became much more harmonious and she even received a wave of red envelopes.
"Waiter, let's serve the food." Zhu Zhiqiang finished shouting and said: "Mr. Lu's factory has developed rapidly and has formed a large-scale industrial group. It has its own raw material processing plant in Baiyuan City, which is a one-stop service, so for this new factory
Construction is imminent.”
Lu Feng nodded in agreement, but his hands were not idle, holding dishes for Duoduo. The father and daughter looked more like they were here to have a meal.
...........
It was already noon, and two brothers, Jiang Fiqiao and Jiang Fulu, stood at the entrance of the town and stared at each other. Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly today, otherwise they would freeze to death.
"Is there a car?"
"It seems to be, wait until you get closer to avoid making mistakes. If it is a local license plate, it is not."
The car got closer and closer, and the license plate was not local. Jiang Fuqiao looked happy and said, "Set off the gun!"
Firecrackers resounded through half the town instantly. The car stopped in front of the firecrackers. The huge three-pointed sign on the front of the car was particularly conspicuous. The window was lowered, revealing a face with sunglasses stuck on, and asked: "Are you Jiang Xiaohong?"
House's?"
"Yes, yes, I am her eldest brother, and you are my sister's partner, right? Come on, smoke!" Jiang Fuqiao hurriedly took out a cigarette.
As soon as the other party put the cigarette in his mouth, Jiang Fulu lit it.
"Walk ahead, lead the way!" the other party said and raised the car window.
The two brothers trotted home.
"Here we come!" A man in his thirties from Jiang Fulu ran to the door as excited as a child.
Within ten seconds, the news had already spread to the house. Jiang Xiaohong had already dressed up and put on new clothes. She looked a bit more gorgeous and her hair was tied up.
Jiang Ergou, Song Xuemei, the eldest sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law came out all at once. The neighbors next door came out with their bowls and chopsticks to watch the fun. People who didn't know thought that today was the wedding day.
"Are you exhausted?"
"Come in quickly!"
"This car is so grand, but it looks expensive at first glance!"
Everyone stood in a row with a flattering smile on their face, which looked particularly ironic compared to when Lu Feng drove here.
The car door opened and the man stepped out. He was wearing a mink coat and reached out to take off his sunglasses. If Lu Feng was here, he would definitely know this man.
Xie Heng!
The buddy in Baiyuan City who was training college students in the dance hall was the one who drove a car to block Lu Feng, causing shock to the entire Baiyuan City.
Song Xuemei looked at him, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became. One word for aura was two words: rich, and the other two words: bold and domineering.
Jiang Xiaohong looked at him and blushed slightly, and said, "These are my parents."
Xie Heng took a look and said: "Okay, I got it, why the hell are you all crowded here?"
"Quick! Get in the house!" Song Xuemei was scolded, but she didn't even dare to fart.
