On the train from Longcheng to Lingcheng, the entire carriage was only filled with half of the rated number of passengers.
It's not a transportation peak period recently, and people in China haven't developed the habit of traveling yet, so as long as it's not during the Spring Festival travel period or when students are on vacation, the seats on the train are not very tight.
Ye Kai stayed on the ordinary hard seat for a while. He looked through the car window and saw rows of trees flying upside down. A river was winding next to him. Occasionally, he could see people rowing boats on the river.
I don’t know what I’m fishing for while holding a long pole.
Going north from Longcheng, the weather is basically the same.
But when you look up at the sky, you will feel that the clouds are relatively low, and you will feel a little depressed inside.
It is said that if you go further north and reach the prairie, the clouds will seem to be pressing on your head.
Ye Kaixin seemed to have some feelings, thinking that it was no wonder that almost everyone on the prairie had a good voice. On the one hand, it was because the grassland was vast and everyone basically relied on shouting for communication. On the other hand, it might also have something to do with the oppression of the sky.
, people can’t help but shout to relieve some of the worries in their hearts.
I don't know what the situation is like for others, but Ye Kai feels that if he lives in such a depressing environment for a long time, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Mr. Ye, there is lunch at the dining car." At this time, someone came over and called Ye Kai, it was his guard Li Hai.
Ye Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.
This time he came out with six guards.
Although he doesn't like being followed all the time, since the last accident, the family has become very worried about his safety. The old man has given a death order, and six guards must ensure it.
In Longcheng a while ago, Ye Kai basically stayed in seclusion. This was also for safety reasons. Of course, it did not rule out that he was unwilling to bring so many guards across the city. After all, the municipal party secretary was not as powerful as him and could use them.
A master from the Central Police Station acts as his personal bodyguard.
Speaking of the guards of the Central Police Station, their quality is quite high. A high-ranking official like Yue Shan can only have two, which is a very rare treatment. Ordinary deputy provincial cadres, of course, are
There is no such treatment. Let alone a department-level cadre like Ye Kai. In fact, he is not even qualified to be equipped with guards.
Strictly speaking, only those who have reached the deputy provincial or ministerial level can gain access to the eyes of high-level officials.
Before leaving, Ye Kai made an agreement with the guards that whenever there was someone around, he would always call him Mr. Ye.
This title is relatively low-key and will not cause any complicated associations.
In recent years, the domestic economy has developed at a relatively fast pace, and there have been great changes in interpersonal relationships and interpersonal communication. It is no longer unusual for the streets to be filled with bosses carrying bags, so I call him Mr. Ye.
It is more appropriate. After all, the leader of a small company in a county now dares to be called the general manager. If five or six people open a handbag company, he is also the general manager.
Because he was in a hurry when he came out this time, and his superiors specifically told him to keep a low profile, Ye Kai was a simple man. He only brought his own guards and no one from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Instead, he asked them to take the train the next day.
The train goes to Lingcheng, and we meet again when we get there.
Two rows of seats away, there were several people talking loudly, and their voices were quite high, and they reached Ye Kai's ears.
"I'm not bragging to you, there's nothing I can't do in Linggang." A man with a slight Jiangnan accent was boasting about himself.
"Tch, I don't believe it. I want to buy steel for two cars at ex-factory price, can you do it?" Sure enough, some people were dismissive of his big words.
"Don't worry about the ex-factory price. I can get it for you at an additional five points, but you have to buy it yourself." He said with a Jiangnan accent.
"You can really get the supply. Their steel factory has been quite tight recently." The other party was a little surprised after hearing this.
"Wan Baomin and I are kids, do you think I can do it?" the man with a Jiangnan accent said proudly.
"Who is Wan Baomin?" the other party asked.
"You always know Wan Baoguo, right?" he asked with a Jiangnan accent.
"Who is Wan Baoguo?" The other party continued to be confused.
"Wan Baoguo, the purchasing manager of Linggang?! You don't even know him, how can you do Linggang's business?! Wan Baomin is Wan Baoguo's cousin, and the two brothers have a very good relationship." Jiangnan accent
A look of disbelief.
"If I want to buy steel, I should go directly to their sales department. What does the purchasing department have to do with it?" The other party was confused.
"Wan Baoguo is Shao Jiangping's brother-in-law. Of course you don't know this. You don't even know Shao Jiangping, right?" he asked with a Jiangnan accent.
"Shao Jiangping, Mr. Shao, of course I have heard of it. The boss of Linggang is a big shot. As for the cadres at the department level, I heard that they are not under the control of our province. They are cadres of central enterprises." The other party finally said that he had heard of it.
.
With a Jiangnan accent, he said, "If you want to open up Ling Gang's joints, you have to follow Mr. Shao's route. But Mr. Shao has always kept himself clean and does not engage in such trivial matters. However, his brother-in-law Wan Baoguo is more tactful and easy to talk to.
As long as you have money and can convince Wan Baoguo, things will be easy to handle."
"Oh, I understand. You and Wan Baoguo's cousin are friends, so you can naturally find a way to Wan Baoguo, and then others will give Wan Baoguo face, because his brother-in-law is Mr. Shao Jiangping, so this way
Come on, it will be smooth sailing in Linggang." The other party finally realized.
"That's right, that's why I said that there is nothing I can't do in Linggang. Of course, you have to pay a corresponding price. Nowadays, you can't do anything without money. With money,
It’s easy to say anything!” He said with a Jiangnan accent.
Ye Kai couldn't help but feel a little funny after hearing this. He didn't expect to hear such things on the train. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, the relationship between the Wan Baoguo brothers and Shao Jiangping was very easy.
Can be found.
"I have to write this down." Ye Kaixin thought about it, then took a pen and scratched twice in the small notebook he carried with him.
"Let's go eat together." Ye Kai nodded to the guards, then got up and walked towards the dining car.
When passing by the people who just spoke, Ye Kai turned around and glanced at the person with a Jiangnan accent, remembered his appearance, and then continued to walk towards the dining car.
The food on the train is honestly not delicious, and it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s pig food. However, it’s quite expensive. A box of rice with some vegetables in it, I dare to charge you 20 yuan for it.
You know, this was in early 1993, and twenty yuan could do a lot of things.
Ye Kai's appetite had long been gone. He looked around but didn't see any appetizing food. He simply bought a box of instant noodles and asked for boiling water to brew. Then he asked for two bottles of wine and talked to the guards.
He sat at a table, occasionally picked up the dishes they wanted with chopsticks, chatted for a while, and then ate his instant noodles.
Fortunately, it only takes a dozen hours to get from Longcheng to Lingcheng. I can cope with this lunch meal and arrive at Lingcheng during dinner time. There is no need to endure the expensive pig food on the train.
They were eating here when they saw the waiter on the dining car pushing a small cart of lunch boxes and going out to sell them with a bang.
"Lunch box, hot box lunch, only fifteen servings!"
Before the dining car even came out, the waiter's voice rang.
"Holy crap!" A guard immediately bluffed after hearing this, "In less than five minutes, the lunch box worth 20 yuan has become a box of 15 yuan! Our meal is really not cost-effective.
!”
"Isn't this strange? After all, you ate five minutes earlier. It's fresh." A diner on the opposite table said calmly.
Everyone nodded, this was a small sense of superiority, and eating in the dining car seemed to be a different feeling from eating in the passenger compartment. At least the smell was fresher and the dining environment was better.
But when they were about to finish their meal, the dining cart came back again, and this time the cries they heard were different.
"The lunch box is five yuan, the lunch box is five yuan!"
"..."
Ye Kai and everyone else were immediately speechless and looked at each other with that classic expression of an idiot looking at an idiot.
"What the fuck..." The diner who made the wisecrack just now couldn't help but curse.
Ye Kai couldn't help but laugh, but his cell phone rang.
"Haha, Miss Chu, I'm on the train." Ye Kai answered the phone and said with a smile, "Any instructions?"
"It seems that you are in a good mood. Why did I hear people say that you were used as a gun again?" Miss Chu's tone was very relaxed, but there was something in her words.
"How can people not get their shoes wet when walking along the river?" Ye Kai replied, "Since you are doing this job now, you will inevitably be used as a gunman, but it shouldn't be a big deal here in Linggang.
Well, I guess I can go home in three or two days. After I finish this work, I will go back to Beijing and go on an outing with you."
"I heard that things over there at Linggang are not simple. They are a department-level unit, unlike the Longcheng City Steel Plant you just cleaned up, which is a deputy department-level enterprise." Chu Jingxuan said.
"The weight of the company's main department level is also limited. Am I afraid that I, a real department-level person, will not be able to overwhelm them?" Ye Kai said with some disapproval.
"It's hard to say. Anyway, you should be careful in everything. Didn't what happened last time leave some psychological shadow?" Chu Jingxuan complained, "I don't want to be a widower before I get married."
"Understood, I brought six guards." Ye Kai said with a smile.
After putting down the phone, Ye Kai frowned. He did not expect that his trip was originally a secret operation, but even Miss Chu in the capital knew the news.
What is going on?! Ye Kai felt very uncomfortable.
Obviously, there are some problems here in Hedong Province or the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
