Huo Ying's sworn testimony relieved Liu Handong's urgent need, but made him even more confused as to who he was having such a turbulent relationship with last night. Looking at Huo Ying's proud look, it was like the cat that ate the canary. It was probably her.
This question is put aside for the time being. The top priority is how to open an auto repair shop. I have already thought of a name, so it will be called Handong Auto Repair. Opening a factory requires space, machinery and equipment, spare parts, and manpower. All of this costs money.
, tens of thousands of dollars on hand are simply not enough.
He decided to go home to get the money and drove back to Jiangbei in the afternoon. Counting from the time he came back during the New Year, he had not been home for half a year.
If you want to start a career, you must first stabilize your rear. Liu Handong said a lot of sweet words, and finally coaxed Ma Ling into going to work happily. He took the car keys and went downstairs. He saw Huo Ying winking at him. After thinking about it, he decided to go to work.
He stepped forward and said: "Thank you, what about that, last night..."
"What happened last night? It was good. Brother Dong, you are so fierce. You made the neighbors uneasy." Huo Ying giggled and ran away.
Liu Handong was convinced that he had drunken sex last night and put Huo Ying to sleep, so he ate the grass on the side of the house, so he could do whatever he wanted.
After leaving the yard and about to get into the car, Shanpao came over: "Dadong, I have something to do with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Isn't school starting soon? I want to send my two brothers-in-law to school, and I also want to get a college diploma. You are familiar with me. Please help me think of a solution."
"Okay, I'll remember this." Liu Handong agreed. Now it's no different than before. As long as you have money, you can't learn anything.
After sending off the mountain cannon, Liu Handong drove back to his hometown in Jiangbei. His mother had prepared a table of wine and food for the three of them to have dinner together when their son came back.
"Xiaodong, why didn't you come back in police uniform?" The mother kept picking up food for her son and complained that he had lost weight due to hunger.
On the way, Liu Handong had already thought about it. A lie requires countless lies to cover up, so it would be better to tell the truth. He coughed dryly and said: "Mom, I won't do it anymore."
Mom was so shocked that her chopsticks dropped on the table: "What did you say? Why don't you stop doing this?"
"Too busy and tired, low salary, high pressure, dangerous, no fun. I got shot in the stomach last time. If I hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest, I would have stopped working." Liu Handong said, he studied these lines.
Yes, it is definitely effective in dealing with my mother.
Sure enough, when the mother heard that her son had been shot, she was so frightened that she quickly said: "If you don't want to do it, then I won't do it. Mom doesn't blame you. You can't risk your life for work. Mom doesn't want anything else from you. Just be safe."
Liu Handong said: "I want to do some business on my own and open an auto repair shop. The address has been chosen, it is on Tiezha Street, and the customer base has been positioned. Now everything is ready and all I need is Dongfeng."
"How much money do you need? Mom will get it for you." Mom stopped eating and took out a small black bag from the chest of drawers, which contained a passbook and cash.
"All the money you gave me last time is on the card. You can use it first. There is also the 50,000 yuan that your Uncle He and I have saved over the years. You can also use it. Mom supports you in starting a business!"
Liu Handong felt a little ashamed that a man in his twenties still asked his family for money, and muttered: "I can't take your money."
He Jian picked up the cup and said, "Xiaodong, your mother and I don't have children, and I regard you as my son. Take the money and do it boldly. I believe you."
"Thank you, Uncle He." Liu Handong and He Jian clinked their glasses and downed the drink in one gulp.
In the evening, Liu Handong went to his grandfather's place and recounted his experiences in the past six months. The old man sighed and said, "Four or eight years are nothing more than this..."
"Grandpa, what happened in 1948?" Liu Handong asked.
"China still has not been able to get out of the limitations of historical laws. Even if you are not a policeman, it is a blessing in disguise." Liu Xiaoyong got up from the recliner, opened the cabinet and took out his bankbook, "This is grandpa's salary card. You can use as much as you need."
Get it yourself."
…
The next day, Liu Handong was about to go to the bank to withdraw money when he suddenly received a call from Baina.
"Liu Handong, are you free? I've introduced you to a job, but you need to come to Jiangbei for an interview."
"Reporter Bai, I'm in Jiangbei, but..."
"No, it's definitely suitable for you. I'm driving, so I can't say anything more. I'll give you a number and you just need to call. I've made all the arrangements."
Baina gave her a cell phone number, and Liu Handong memorized it. He hung up the phone, thought about it, and dialed. A young man answered the call with a very enthusiastic attitude. He introduced himself as Xu Ning and asked Liu Handong to come to the city hall.
Liu Handong didn't want to refute Baina's reputation, so he went to the bank to withdraw 30,000 yuan. His grandfather was a retired cadre and his salary was very high. The money would not touch the coffin book.
Then he drove to the Jiangbei City Government. To his surprise, the wall of the city government was demolished at some point. The courtyard was covered with flowers and green trees, and those who didn't know it thought it was a big park.
There is a service desk in the municipal building. Liu Handong came forward and asked for Xu Ning. The staff immediately dialed the internal number. After a while, a man in a white shirt and black trousers hurried downstairs and said from a distance: "Liu Handong, I have been looking up to you for a long time.
"
This person was Xu Ning. He did not invite Liu Handong to his office. Instead, he took out a key and threw it to Liu Handong and said: "Go out for a spin."
This is a remote control key for an Audi car. Liu Handong followed Xu Ning to the underground parking lot and pressed the key. A black Audi A6 responded. The license plate was actually Jiang B00002.
"You drive to Nantai Industrial Park." Xu Ning opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Liu Handong was suspicious. Car No. 2 should be the mayor of Jiangbei's car. How could he let himself drive it? However, he still got in the car and started it, drove out of the underground parking lot and ran all the way to Nantai Industrial Park. Xu Ning held up his mobile phone.
He stopped talking on the phone, arranging meetings and work, but from his tone he should be a secretary.
The Audi was wandering in the sea of cars. Liu Handong drove very steadily, staying within the speed limit allowed by traffic regulations. He stayed on the road, did not drive in reverse, and did not break the lights. He was extremely disciplined. This was not his conscience. When this guy drove his own car,
As long as he does not cause danger to others, he can drive however he wants, completely ignoring traffic regulations. He drives like this because he is driving a privileged car, so he has no desire to drive randomly.
Nantai Industrial Park was originally a saline-alkali land. Now it is the new factory area of Jiangbei Heavy Industry. It mainly produces military products. This large enterprise was formed by the merger of the original Chenguang Machinery Factory and Hongqi Iron and Steel Factory. It is an important tax-paying enterprise in Jiangbei and contributes to the society.
Provides a large number of employment opportunities.
The rebirth of two old state-owned enterprises that were on the verge of bankruptcy and becoming bigger and stronger is a miracle in Jiangdong and even the whole country. At that time, Liu Handong was still a soldier and did not know much about these stories. Now it seems really shocking.
Under Xu Ning's guidance, the Audi drove into the gate of Jiangbei Heavy Industry and stopped in front of the office building. Xu Ning got out of the car, told him to wait, and then hurried upstairs. Five minutes later, a man in his thirties came to Xu Ning's door.
Accompanied by Ning, he walked out and came to the Audi car. Xu Ning introduced: "Liu Handong, this is Mayor Zhou."
"Liu Handong, I have heard your story. You are a tough guy." Mayor Zhou was very approachable. He shook hands with Liu Handong, got into the back seat and greeted the driver. He seemed to be in a good mood, and chatted with Liu Handong about homely matters. The old man
How is his health and whether his personal problems have been solved? Although they are all non-nutritious remarks, it can be seen that this mayor is very close to the people.
"Stop." Suddenly Zhou Wen said, Liu Handong pulled over, Mayor Zhou got out of the car, squatted at the roadside stall and bargained with the old farmer selling melons, and finally took out a hundred-yuan bill and bought all the cantaloupes on the stall, Xu Ning and
Liu Handong helped put the cantaloupe into the trunk.
"Xiao Liu, go back and take some melons away, I'll treat you." Mayor Zhou chuckled, feeling in a good mood.
Liu Handong was very touched. He knew why Mayor Zhou bought all the cantaloupes. It was because of the scorching sun and the wrinkles on the face of the old man selling melons. He was a dignified mayor and there were no cameras following him. There was no need to put on a show for a newcomer.
The driver looks at it.
Returning to the city hall, Mayor Zhou nodded to Xu Ning.
"Xiao Liu, come with me to go through the formalities. Have you brought your ID card?" Xu Ning said.
Liu Handong shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mayor Zhou, Secretary Xu, thank you for your respect, but I don't want to be a driver."
Xu Ning's eyes widened. Liu Handong's reaction was simply unbelievable to him. Driving for the mayor was something that many people dreamed of doing. Even spending money and giving gifts was not worthy of it. It would be better for him. The mayor agreed, but he didn't.
Give face.
Mayor Zhou was also stunned, and then he smiled heartily: "It doesn't matter, everyone has his own ambitions."
"Thank you for your understanding." Liu Handong unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, returned the key to Xu Ning, nodded to Mayor Zhou, and strode away.
Liu Handong left the government, got into his Fukang, inserted the key to start, but it couldn't start. He got out of the car and opened the hood to check. It was a starter failure. After all, it was an old car. It was normal for the car to fall off the chain.
No way, let's go back. Liu Handong was walking on the street. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. His hand was very strong. Liu Handong reacted very quickly. He grabbed the hand and threw it over his shoulder.
The big man fell hard to the ground.
"Fuck! Why don't I just give you a pat? What's the matter?" The big man was terribly wronged. He had a shaved scalp and was wearing a black Xiangyun gauze Chinese-style double-breasted jacket, a big gold chain around his neck, and big gold Buddha beads on his wrists.
Under the open front is a tuft of protective hair. It is none other than Liu Handong's cellmate, Meng Zhiqiu.
"Ouch, Brother Meng, don't be surprised if the attack is a little harsh." Liu Handong quickly helped him.
Meng Zhiqiu got up on his own, and waved his hands to the younger brothers with cold eyebrows behind him: "One of our own, Liu Handong, my younger brother, please don't glare. The three of you can't beat him together."
He took out the top quality Huaijiang and handed one to Liu Handong: "Why, it's not easy to get around in the provincial capital, so you have returned to Jiangbei to develop?"
