Zheng Jia originally wanted to spend the night with her grandma, but she had no choice but to give up when she saw that the conditions of the Liu family were really poor and that her grandma didn't recognize her at all.
"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow." Zheng Jia went to say goodbye to her grandma, "Grandma, I'm leaving."
Liu Handong also got up and went to get the car keys.
Grandma Pan said: "Okay, goodbye. Ask your partner to drive slower on the road."
Ma Ling glanced at Liu Handong, as if guessing his thoughts: "I'll give it to Sister Zheng."
Liu Handong obediently handed over the car keys, but Zheng Jiayi said: "No need to give it away, I can just take a taxi myself."
Liu Xiaoyong made the decision: "Ma Ling takes care of grandma, you go and see Xiaodong off, and we arrange a better hotel, the municipal party committee guest house."
So it was Liu Handong who saw Zheng Jiayi out. Just as he was about to drive, Zheng Jiayi said that when I came here, I saw a nice five-star hotel by the river. Just walk there and save yourself the hassle of driving back and forth.
Parking spaces in Binhe Community were tight, and there was no space after driving out. Liu Handong was happy to see her off on foot. The two of them strolled under the moonlight, and naturally talked about how they had picked up Grandma Pan on the street. Liu Handong described the experience in detail.
, Zheng Jiayi let out a long sigh: "It's us, our children and grandchildren, who didn't take good care of us. We can't blame others."
"Uncle Zheng is still a very open-minded person. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not be willing to entrust the old lady to others." Liu Handong said.
Zheng Jiayi smiled bitterly. Every family has its own problems. Even the families of senior leaders have the same problems as ordinary people. Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and empty nesters. This is not a problem that can be solved by money and power.
Higher-ranking leading cadres have less time to spend with their families.
"Grandma lives here. I feel relieved. I really appreciate you. If there is anything I can do, I will definitely help." Zheng Jiayi's impression of Liu Handong has obviously changed drastically, and he even offered to help.
Liu Handong suddenly felt warm in his heart: "You are referring to the planning change of the European Garden. In fact, this property belongs to a friend. At that time, I often went to the roof of the unfinished building to drink. I met the master who was watching the construction site.
I know he is a man with a story..."
Listening to Liu Handong narrate these past events, Zheng Jiayi was very emotional: "Everyone is trudging along the road of life, and the domestic environment is still not open and transparent enough, but the way of greeting cannot completely solve the problem. To untie the bell, you still need the person to ring it.
I suggest you sue, and even if you have to change your plan, you must provide corresponding compensation."
Liu Handong's heart became cold again. After talking for a long time, he still said the same thing. If he sues the Planning Bureau in Omi, the possibility of winning the case is almost zero.
As they walked, they arrived at the Huaqing Hotel on Binjiang Avenue. Liu Handong wanted to help Zheng Jiayi open a standard king-bed room. Unexpectedly, Zheng Jiayi took out his American Express black card and asked for a senior suite. See you.
Liu Handong showed a puzzled look and explained that the company had regulations that the accommodation must be a five-star or above suite.
"After all, I am an investment banker, but this should be a private trip, right?" Liu Handong asked.
"The difference is not big." Zheng Jiayi smiled lightly.
Liu Handong understood that Zheng Jiayi should have paid privately, but the price difference between the standard room and the superior suite was really ignored.
"Then you have a good rest and call me if you need anything." Liu Handong handed over his business card.
Zheng Jiayi took the business card: "Sorry, I didn't bring a business card. Hey, are you the president of the university?"
This time her surprised look didn't look like she was pretending. Liu Handong was a little smug, but he was very humble: "Thanks to Director Xia's support and entrusted with such an important task, I can only die with dedication."
Zheng Jiayi didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye, and went upstairs to rest.
…
At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Zheng Jiayi first sent a message to confirm that grandma was up, and then came to visit her. Everyone gathered together and chatted about the New Year issues.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I'd better take grandma back to Beijing." Zheng Jiayi said.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate. When Liu Handong wanted to speak, Ma Ling stopped him with a dry cough.
Liu Xiaoyong spoke: "Every family has to be reunited during the Chinese New Year. This is a good thing. The weather is also getting cold. There is no heating in Jiangbei. The elderly can't stand the cold. I agree."
Unexpectedly, Grandma Pan firmly objected: "I won't go to Beijing!"
Zheng Jiayi advised her: "Grandma, go back. We have to have a reunion during the New Year. Without you, we won't be able to eat dumplings."
Grandma Pan was very clear now. She was not a soft-hearted old lady, but an old revolutionary and party member who had gone through countless political struggles. She said categorically: "There is smog in Beijing. If you don't go there, go to Omi."
, I will go with Lao Liu. I have a house in the Provincial Party Committee dormitory and there is heating. If you are interested, come and see me. If you are not interested, forget it."
It was no use Zheng Jia's words. Grandma Pan wouldn't go to Beijing, Hong Kong, or Sanya, so she settled on Omi.
"Okay then, let's just stay in Omi and we'll come see you then." Zheng Jiayi finally compromised, but made a new request, "It's getting colder, I think it's better to move as soon as possible."
Liu Handong said that moving is simple and can be done in just one sentence. The key is that Omi’s house must be settled first.
Grandma Pan said: "That is the house assigned to me by the organization. The furniture and appliances are all ready-made. I only need to clean it and I can live in it. As long as Old Liu is willing to accompany me, I can move at any time."
Zheng Jiayi turned his expectant eyes to Liu Xiaoyong.
Liu Xiaoyong nodded: "Speaking of which, my ancestral home is also in Omi, so it doesn't mean I left my hometown."
Zheng Jiayi beamed: "That's right. Besides, your grandson and granddaughter-in-law are both in Omi. How happy it is for everyone to live together. In the future, we will have a great grandson and four generations will live under the same roof. That is happiness."
Even if the matter was settled, Zheng Jia looked at the clock on the wall and thought of the inspection in the afternoon, so she stood up to say goodbye. After everyone tried to persuade them to stay, Liu Xiaoyong said: "Xiaodong, Ma Ling, you go first
Let’s walk together, I’ll have a companion on the road.”
So the three of them drove on the road. This section of the road out of the city was driven by Liu Handong. The Passat swerved left and right like a fish swimming in the traffic, frequently overtaking other cars. Zheng Jiayi was so frightened that he clutched the armrest tightly, and his fingers turned white.
When she got to the highway intersection, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said it would be better to let someone else drive.
Ma Ling was already eager to try, and responded immediately, pushed Liu Handong away, sat on the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and carefully checked the instruments. Zheng Jia thought that the female driver was more careful, not as reckless as Liu Handong, and suddenly he was pushed on the back.
The feeling came, and his whole body was pressed against the back seat. Ma Ling stepped on the accelerator and drove more violently than Liu Handong, reaching a speed of 180 kilometers per hour in a few seconds.
"You're speeding," Zheng Jia said with a trembling voice, regretting that he should not have taken their car.
"It's okay. There's no speedometer in this section. Aren't you in a hurry?" Ma Ling said carelessly.
"Safety first." Zheng Jiayi's lips turned pale.
"Slow down, don't scare people." Liu Handong said.
Ma Ling glanced at Liu Handong and thought that I was just trying to scare her. Of course, he slowed down and kept it at around 123. He stopped twice to rest on the road and finally safely sent Zheng Jiayi back to her hotel.
Four Seasons Hotel Omi.
…
In the afternoon, Zheng Jiayi went to Qingshi Taxi Company for inspection. Chairman Xia Qingshi and President An Xin personally accompanied her. In the control hall, General Manager An Jie introduced to Ms. Zheng in detail the differences between Qingshi Taxi and other taxi companies.
"Our operations mainly rely on big data management. Each vehicle is equipped with locators, sensors and communication equipment. The time, place and number of people picking up and dropping off passengers, mileage and trajectory, including the weight of luggage, are recorded.
The taxi-hailing app software and the tablet system in front of the driver can greatly reduce the empty driving rate. In addition, our cars do not require gasoline. The wheel hub motors used are simple and efficient, and the subsequent maintenance costs are also lower than gasoline engine vehicles. It can be said that,
If electric taxis are popularized throughout the province and even the country, a satisfactory effect will be achieved in energy conservation and emission reduction."
Zheng Jiayi nodded frequently and asked: "How to achieve convenient charging?"
Anjie has already prepared: "We have set up two thousand charging piles across the city and are still adding more. In the future, charging piles will be as popular as fire hydrants, and we also have energy stations for battery replacement. Modular batteries are almost
It can be replaced within minutes. In case a vehicle breaks down, we have also prepared 20 charging vehicles, which can charge on site and replace the battery on the spot, providing no-dead-end service and all-round tracking."
Zheng Jiayi is very satisfied: "Big data management is the general trend."
An Xin suggested: "Let's experience the bluestone rental service."
Zheng Jiayi happily agreed, and they took a car to a remote section of the southern suburbs of the city. They got off the car and took out their mobile phones to call a taxi app. Sure enough, a green-painted bluestone taxi came in less than five minutes. Zheng Jiayi
Accompanied by An Xin, I got into the car. The driver was a young man in his twenties and he spoke standard Mandarin: "Hello, welcome to Qingshi Taxi. Where are you going?"
"Let's go to Jiaotong College." This place name suddenly appeared in Zheng Jiayi's mind.
An Xin smiled: "The Transportation College is also a public institution under our group. In fact, it was mainly acquired as a land reserve. You can go and take a look."
But when the taxi drove to the entrance of the School of Transportation, Zheng Jiayi suddenly changed his mind and said that he could not go in and went to the European Garden to have a look.
The starting price of European Garden is only three kilometers from the School of Transportation. From a distance, it is already a CBD community that has begun to take shape, with commercial buildings, high-rise apartments, and townhouses. It is close to the highway and has convenient transportation. Except for the jets that sometimes fly across the sky
The intense noise made by the fighter jets is simply perfect.
Zheng Jiayi took out her tablet computer and opened the satellite map and looked at it carefully. She is a graduate of the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University and has studied urban planning and design. According to common sense analysis, the planning change is simply unreasonable.
An Xin asked curiously: "Why, Ms. Zheng plans to buy a property in Omi?"
Zheng Jia smiled and said without comment: "Okay, let's go back."
The inspection ended here. We just briefly visited the production workshop and the taxi company. In fact, for investment banking experts, the most important thing is to read various reports. The on-site visit only gave an intuitive impression. Zheng Jiayi took the flight back that night.
Beijing, I found an opportunity to report to my father what Jiangdong had seen and heard.
"Your grandma wants to celebrate the New Year in Omi, so that's fine." Zheng Jeff said, "I'll ask the province to clean up the house and buy some new appliances later."
"Dad, I went to see the real estate Liu Handong mentioned last time. There is no need to change the plan at all. Someone clearly wants to occupy it..." Zheng Jiayi took the opportunity to mention this matter.
Jeff Zheng suddenly became stern: "Don't interfere in these things!"
Zheng Jiayi was very unhappy: "Why not? Shouldn't a person repay kindness in return?"
Zheng Jeff said: "What do you know? I have already done what I need to do. Our family does not owe them anything."
