The sun was very bright, and the luggage on the shoulders of Xue Xiang and Ma Tianyu was not heavy.
.∮,
"Okay, little horse, let's take a rest. We're not in a hurry. Find something to quench your thirst and cool down."
Xue Xiang called to stop from behind.
Since they were successfully grouped with Mu Xuefei, Team Leader Mu issued an expulsion order, asking Xue Xiang and Ma Tianyu to leave Zhouzhou as soon as possible. The reason was simple. There were more people and they were easier to find if they acted together.
What a shame, what kind of reason is this? We haven't even patrolled, and we haven't even revealed our motives. We just had a meal together. How can we be discovered?
Even though he knew it was resentment, Xue Xiang didn't want to argue with her, so he took Ma Tianyu and left immediately.
On a July day, the sky was red. As soon as he went out, Xue Xiang saw Ma Tianyu's white shirt was stuck to his back, and it was wet. As he walked on the road, his sweat dripped on the bluestone road. Although there was no smoke coming out, it was still there.
As soon as it dries, the sun in the sky is about to turn the earth into a chopping board for barbecues.
"Okay, it's really hot. There's a popsicle stand over there. Let's go there and have a rest!"
Ma Tianyu obviously breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his annoying dry forehead with his sleeve, and said feebly.
"If you want to take a rest, go there."
Xue Xiang pointed to the left. There was a tea stall, just across the road from the popsicle stall. It was raised with asbestos tiles and a wooden top as thick as the mouth of a bowl. A large porcelain pot was placed along the street. There was an unusual faucet at the bottom of the pot.
The smaller one had a white cover in front of the stall, and said crookedly, "Big bowl of herbal tea, two bowls for a dime."
"Eat popsicles. It's too hot today. The herbal tea is still steaming. I'm afraid it won't be easy to swallow."
Ma Tianyu rarely rejected Xue Xiang's proposal. "Besides, there are many people around the popsicle stall, so it must taste good. It should be better than herbal tea to relieve the heat."
Xue Xiang smiled and said, "Observe carefully and you will know which one is suitable."
Ma Tianyu scanned it and said with a smile, "The leader is wise, let's go and try some herbal tea."
There are indeed many people at the popsicle stall, but they are all young people under the age of twenty. There are only a few people at the herbal tea stall, only three to five people, but they are all over forty years old.
At this time, age proves experience and vision leads to choice.
The two of them walked over and sat down near the wind outlet. Soon the old man in charge of the tea stall quickly shook the white towel in his hand, put it on his shoulders, and filled a large mahogany tray with two large bowls of herbal tea.
It was served.
The bowl is an ordinary earthenware bowl with a huge mouth and extremely rough texture. The tea soup has no color and is slightly reddish. There is still tea foam in the bowl, and there is a trace of hot steam floating in it. It is a hot summer, and the appearance is true.
Xue Xiang picked up the bowl and felt stuffy after one sip. Ma Tianyu's heart beat. But the leader had already drank. There was no room for pretentiousness for him, and he felt stuffy at the same time.
The tea soup enters the stomach and feels faintly hot, but it is not difficult to drink. It is slightly bitter, and after drinking it, a faint sweetness emerges from the base of the tongue. After a few breaths, a fine layer of white sweat appeared on the forehead.
In an instant, I felt so comfortable and relaxed all over my body.
“Great tea!”
Ma Tianyu praised excitedly.
The old man stood by and watched the two of them drinking tea. After Ma Tianyu praised him, he took the bowl and left with satisfaction. At Xue Xiang's instructions, he brought two more bowls.
The old man's tea stall is well-designed. It is at the street corner. The sides of the tea stall are transparent. Sitting inside is like sitting on a vent. The wind is light at noon, but there is always a slight chill. It is really hard to let go with herbal tea.
Gone.
Xue Xiang asked for two more bowls of tea, just to avoid the sun here, and also to sort out his thoughts with Ma Tianyu and unify his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Ma Tianyu asked, "Chief, where do you think we should go next?"
"Don't be too busy asking me about this. I'm just trying to test you. You were flipping through the map along the way. You must have learned something?"
Xue Xiang took a sip of herbal tea, lit a cigarette, and started smoking happily.
Ma Tianyu smiled and said, "The chief has a sharp gaze, and I do have some ideas. Since the chief hopes that Director Mu will be here tomorrow, we must first figure out what Director Mu is thinking."
"Tell me about it, don't be too pretentious!"
"In my opinion, although our trip is an unannounced visit, and Director Xie is openly attracting firepower, it cannot be concealed from the local area. As time goes by, the secret will inevitably be exposed. I think this is also the original intention of the chief's grouping."
"That's a good point, but I'd rather hear your prediction of Director Mu's next move."
"It's not difficult to guess Director Mu's plan. There are two big cities in eastern Shandong, Qindao and Quancheng. Whenever the Central Committee comes to inspect eastern Shandong, it is inevitable to avoid these two big cities. In other words, there is a lack of research on these two big cities.
, any situation about Ludong that was investigated is unconvincing. Qindao is the economic center of Ludong, and Quancheng is the political center of Ludong. Since we are investigating economic issues, obviously Qindao is more suitable."
"You mean Director Mu will go to Qindao?"
"On the contrary, I guess he will go to Quancheng. After all, it is very simple. Director Mu can think of Qindao as a good place for research. Obviously, he can also guess that Lu Dong must also think that if he goes to Qindao, he must be heavily guarded.
It would be better to do the opposite and go to Quan City."
"Informative, but pointless!"
It was rare for Ma Tianyu to show off his skills in front of Xue Xiang. After some reasoning, he had some successes. Unexpectedly, he was poured cold water on by Xue Xiang, "Qindao and Quancheng are indeed the two cities where we are investigating Ludong."
main position, but analysis
Where is the director? What practical significance does it have for us? Even without the Ludong Provincial Party Committee to say hello, Qindao and Quancheng will definitely activate the highest warning at the same time. In this way, no matter which city you go to, the risks will be the same.
almost."
Ma Tianyu thought about it carefully and felt that he had made some useless reasoning. Then he thought again, what does the chief want him to say? By the way, factory, factory. In the final analysis, this survey must be implemented in the factory.
The reason is very simple. The reason for this inspection is not precisely because local state-owned enterprises have made a wave of investment in infrastructure construction, inflating the national economic bubble and devaluing the RMB!
"Chief, I understand! I suggest that we choose a large state-owned factory this time!"
Ma Tianyu stood up suddenly.
Xue Xiang smiled and said, "Tell me about it!"
………………
But while Xue Xiang and Ma Tianyu were having a meeting at a street stall, Mu Xuefei also generously invited the three team members into an exquisite tea room at her own expense after the meal.
The aroma of tea lingered and the elegant room was quiet. The four of them sat down on a brown leather sofa. Since it was summer, the sofa was covered with cool purple bamboo cushions.
Sitting on it, my hot butt suddenly became cold and very comfortable. (To be continued...)

I will try my best to update it stably, I am so confused!
