After paying the deposit in advance and revealing Ning Wei's identity, Chen Ran no longer had to worry about the store owner not doing his best.
After leaving this pharmacy, Chen Ran had no intention of visiting other pharmacies. Even if he did, the result would be the same. However, when talking to the store owner, he heard the store owner talk about the black market, and he suddenly remembered
Gao Qiang once introduced Xiao Gu to him, so after bidding farewell to the store owner, opening the car door and getting into the off-road vehicle, he took out his mobile phone and looked for Xiao Gu's number. Fortunately, he put the number on his previous mobile phone
The contact information was transferred to this phone and has never been deleted. Xiao Gu’s phone number is still there.
Although Gao Qiang has left now, Xiao Gu is still enthusiastic about him. Chen Ran didn't talk nonsense to him and directly told him the medicinal materials he wanted. As a result, although the other party didn't have the goods on hand, he promised him that he would get them.
All it takes is a matter of time for him to get the goods.
Xiao Gu's confidence is obviously much stronger than that of the store owner. He knew that the other party had great powers in the past, but now it seems that he really doesn't underestimate them, but this has nothing to do with him. For him, the other party is
The greater the supernatural power, the better. After all, his physical problems are urgent. Now he has to sleep for at least half a day a day. He can clearly feel that this time is still increasing. In this case, the results will not be necessary.
He said that he might fall asleep and suddenly wake up one day, and then he would have no place to cry.
"It's best to hurry up. The sooner the better. Let's do this. Within ten days, if the goods arrive one day ahead of schedule, in addition to the cost of the medicine, I will pay you another 50,000 yuan, and so on. Every time the goods arrive in advance,
That’s 50,000 yuan in one day.”
Compared with the time when he contacted Xiao Gu before, Chen Ran was obviously much richer and more powerful now. Considering that his health could not be delayed any longer, Chen Ran immediately spent a lot of money.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will deliver the goods to you as soon as possible."
Hearing Chen Ran's words, Xiao Gu on the other side of the phone obviously couldn't calm down. Even when he spoke, he became very angry. It would cost 50,000 yuan to arrive one day in advance. If it arrived ten days in advance, it would cost 500,000 yuan.
He was just an errand boy. How could he not be tempted when he saw so much money?
"That's good."
"Xiao Liang, please put your work aside and go to Nandu Airport to pick up a few people for me. After you pick them up, treat them well..."
After hanging up Xiao Gu's call, Chen Ran looked at the time. Master Zhao and the others would arrive this afternoon. It would be too late for him to rush back to pick them up, so he first called Wang Liang and asked Wang Liang to arrange some cars.
After picking up someone, I called Wang Liang and then called Zhang Shuchun.
After arranging this matter, Chen Ran entertained Ning Wei with delicious food and drinks. After all, this kid also ran errands for him. After eating, he sent Ning Wei to the door of Hualian.
, when sending Ning Wei to Hualian, he also picked some gifts for Ruoruo.
After making the selection, Chen Ran went back to the apartment, and at eight o'clock in the evening, he drove to the provincial party committee compound.
"Xiaoran?"
Chen Ran's off-road vehicle was registered as a family car of the Cao family in the Provincial Party Committee compound, so when he arrived at the Provincial Party Committee compound, the guard at the door did not stop him. He just made a routine inspection and let the off-road vehicle go.
The car stopped at the entrance of Cao's courtyard. When Chen Ran got out of the car and was about to open the trunk and take out the gift he bought for Ruoruo, a surprised shout suddenly came from next to him.
Hearing the cry, Chen Ran couldn't help but look back. When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment.
In addition to his own off-road vehicle, there were two other cars next to the entrance of the Cao family compound. He was familiar with one of them and knew it was Cao Huiyao's car. He had driven it at that time.
, except for this one, the remaining one is an Audi car, and at this moment, the passenger seat window of this Audi car is opened.
He was looking at a person, who was looking at Chen Ran in surprise.
After being startled, Chen Ran asked in surprise: "Brother Yuan, why are you here?" As he said this, he didn't even bother to take the things and walked directly to the Audi car.
The person sitting in the passenger seat of the Audi car was none other than Ma Zhiyuan.
"You are really your kid."
Not to mention that Chen Ran didn’t expect to meet Ma Zhiyuan here. It was obvious that Ma Zhiyuan didn’t expect to meet Chen Ran here either. You must know what kind of place is in front of you. This is the Provincial Party Committee compound, and the Provincial Party Committee compound and the Provincial Party Committee compound
There are also differences between the Party Committee Courtyard and the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard in front of me. All the big bosses from the province live in it. Ordinary people cannot enter at all. At least even he, the mayor of a prefecture-level city below, would not be able to get in if he did not follow others.
Then he couldn't get in. Even the person who brought him in had to go through layers of notifications and checks before he could get in. Not to mention how Chen Ran appeared here, just how Chen Ran got in surprised him.
In fact, he noticed it just now when Chen Ran parked the off-road vehicle next to the Audi. He couldn't blame him. After all, this was in front of Minister Cao's house. Chen Ran parked the car here. It was hard for him not to notice it.
, when he saw Chen Ran's off-road vehicle, although he felt that the car looked a bit like Chen Ran's car, he didn't pay much attention to the license plate number of Chen Ran's off-road vehicle in the past, and it was here.
In this place, he did not expect that this off-road vehicle belonged to Chen Ran, but he kept paying attention to it. It was not until Chen Ran got out of the off-road vehicle and looked at Chen Ran's back that he suddenly realized what this man was looking at.
This looked like Chen Ran, but he was a little surprised to see Chen Ran here suddenly. He didn't dare to confirm it for a while. After rolling down the car window, he realized that this person was really Chen Ran. He was also surprised.
He shouted out all of a sudden.
"Brother Yuan, are you waiting for someone here?"
Although Chen Ran was a little surprised to meet Ma Zhiyuan here, he was only surprised for a moment. This was the provincial party committee compound. It was obviously normal for the mayor Ma Zhiyuan to appear here, so he returned to normal after being surprised.
Well, when he saw Ma Zhiyuan's scene, he thought Ma Zhiyuan was waiting for someone.
Compared to Chen Ran, Ma Zhiyuan was obviously not so calm. Of course, this was also in front of Chen Ran. He regarded Chen Ran as one of his family members and unconsciously relaxed in front of Chen Ran. If there were outsiders present,
He seems very calm on the surface.
Chen Ran thought it was normal for him to appear here, but he didn't think so. Seeing Chen Ran here suddenly made him hold back a lot of questions. What he wanted to ask Chen Ran was just this sentence from Chen Ran
He was immediately discouraged.
He is not waiting for anyone here. Of course, it is okay to say he is waiting for someone. He is just waiting for notification, but whether he can go in or not is still open to question.
Ma Zhiyuan was embarrassed for a moment, and couldn't help but ask again: "Xiao Ran, are you going to this place? Are you and this place..." While saying this, he also gestured to Chen Ran, and what he said was naturally
The Cao family is here.
"Brother Yuan, this is the home of one of my elders. This is where you are?"
If Chen Ran wanted to say what his relationship was with the Cao family, he really couldn't say.
Neither Cao Guoxiong nor Cao Huiyao, nor even Mrs. Cao, regarded him as an outsider. Although he did not go to Cao's house many times, every time he came, he felt the same as at his own home, without any restraint.
feeling.
"Elder?" Chen Ran's words obviously stunned Ma Zhiyuan for a moment. He still knew the situation of Chen Ran's family clearly. Why didn't he know before that Chen Ran's family still had such a relative?
"Brother Yuan, why don't you first tell me what you are planning to do?"
Chen Ran also realized at this moment that Ma Zhiyuan might not be as simple as this kind of person. Since he was in front of Cao's house, it was obviously related to Cao Guoxiong. With his relationship with Ma Zhiyuan, there was no reason to ignore him.
Hearing this, Ma Zhiyuan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just came to visit Minister Cao."
Ma Zhiyuan said it was simple, but in fact, it was naturally not that simple. Due to the special circumstances of Tianzhong City, during Ma Zhiyuan's reign, the municipal party committee secretary had been replaced several times, but it was not his turn. The above intention seemed to want him to remain
There is nothing we can do about resigning this mayor. At present, he is the only one in Tianzhong City who can barely compete with the power of the Zheng family. If he is removed, it will be difficult for others to get involved again.
In this way, once he is touched, Tianzhong City will completely become the Zheng family's. Naturally, the superiors do not want to see this happen. Therefore, the superiors have been suppressing him and will not let him go until he is released.
Right, but they still keep suppressing him and not letting him go any further. Even if the others are transferred to Tianzhong City as the top leader, they will not be able to control the situation. But if he is the top leader, the situation will be different.
But he was pushed down when it was his turn to be promoted twice. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. Ma Zhiyuan is still young, so naturally he doesn't want to stay in this position forever. Seeing that the time for the change of leadership is coming this year, he doesn't want to let this go.
The opportunity came to be known as running to the province. Cao Guoxiong was the director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. It would be best if he could get Cao Guoxiong's support, so the first person he met was Cao Guoxiong.
It's just that although he is the mayor of a city, he can meet with the provincial party committee members whenever they can. Visiting him rashly will only leave a bad impression on the other party. Therefore, he first found him who was training at the party school.
I was a classmate when I was a student. This classmate is now the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of Zhongdu City, and is now a capable person under Minister Cao.
At this moment, he appeared at the door of the Cao family compound. It was his classmate who brought him to meet Minister Cao. Of course, officialdom has official rules, and his classmate would not act rashly even if he was a capable general under Minister Cao.
If you don't want to take him to see Minister Cao directly, but let his classmate explore Minister Cao's background first. If you feel that the matter can be successful, then you can unintentionally lure him out and then talk to him. He will be waiting outside the door.
Yes, then Minister Cao will naturally meet with him. If you feel that there is no chance of what he has to do, then there is no need to meet him. Just pretend that he has never been here.
Ma Zhiyuan didn't say that much to Chen Ran. He just told Chen Ran that he was going to visit Minister Cao and that his party school classmate was there.
"Brother Yuan, don't wait here anymore, go in with me first."
After hearing what Ma Zhiyuan said, Chen Ran didn't ask Ma Zhiyuan why he visited Cao Guoxiong. He smiled, opened the car door directly, and asked Ma Zhiyuan to go in with him.
When Ma Zhiyuan and Chen Ran said this, they naturally wanted to ask Chen Ran for help. Regardless of whether things could work out, it would be good to meet Cao Guoxiong. It would be better to run away without even meeting Cao Guoxiong.
Damn it, he just wanted Chen Ran to help deliver a sentence, but he didn't expect that Chen Ran would take him in directly.
"Xiaoran, I won't go in with you. Once you go in, just say something to me so that I can see Minister Cao."
Ma Zhiyuan smiled wryly and waved his hand. Of course he wanted to go in, but he didn't know the relationship between Chen Ran and the Cao family. If he went in rashly, not to mention leaving a bad impression on Minister Cao, he might even offend him.
His classmate from the party school.
"Brother Yuan, just go in with me."
Chen Ran was also a little dumbfounded. Ma Zhiyuan had Ma Zhiyuan's considerations, and he also had his own considerations. With his relationship with Ma Zhiyuan, Ma Zhiyuan was left outside. What if he went in and told Cao Guoxiong first and then let Ma Zhiyuan in?
Telling Cao Guoxiong clearly about his relationship with Ma Zhiyuan is just so that Cao Guoxiong doesn't have to look at his face. Even if he talks to Cao Guoxiong about his relationship with Ma Zhiyuan at that time, it will appear that he is petty and outsider.
"Xiao Ran, are you familiar with Minister Cao's family?"
Ma Zhiyuan was persuaded twice by Chen Ran, but he was quite moved. This moved him because he thought that Chen Ran was not such a reckless person. If he was not very familiar with the Cao family, he would not do it casually.
Bringing outsiders into your home.
"Brother Yuan, I am here just like I am at home. Let's go. It's okay." Chen Ran replied to Ma Zhiyuan casually, then opened the trunk of the off-road vehicle and took out the snacks and toys he brought to Ruoruo.
come out.
Although Ma Zhiyuan was dubious about Chen Ran's words, based on his relationship with Chen Ran, Chen Ran would never deceive him, so he didn't say anything. When he saw the child's toys that Chen Ran took out of the car, he was surprised.
I feel a little more relieved.
Although he didn't know if the Cao family had any children, Chen Ran didn't bring anything else to the Cao family and only brought gifts for the children, which showed that the relationship between Chen Ran and the Cao family was unusual.
After taking out the gift for Ruoruo and calling Zhiyuan to get on his horse, Chen Ran entered the Cao family courtyard. When he got to the door, he originally wanted to ring the doorbell, but he found that the door was unlocked and ajar, so he just
He opened the door and walked in.
The lights in the living room were on, the TV was on, and the news network was playing, but there was no one else. Chen Ran looked around and saw no one, so he guessed that Cao Guoxiong might have been watching the TV just now. He
Without calling anyone, a familiar person put the gifts he brought in the storage room on the first floor of Cao's house. This storage room was filled with snacks and toys bought for Ruoruo.
After putting it in, he closed the door and greeted Ma Zhiyuan. He took Ma Zhiyuan upstairs to the door of Cao Guoxiong's study in a familiar way.
Ma Zhiyuan followed him in, but when he came in, he was undoubtedly in a state of anxiety. Now that he saw that Chen Ran was so familiar with the family, he finally felt at ease, thinking that this boy is really friendly here.
It's no different at home.
Of course, this was just a thought that flashed through his mind. When he saw that Chen Ran had knocked on the study door, he immediately became solemn.
Chen Ran didn't knock for long. After knocking twice, the door was opened.
