At noon, Xu Honggang gave Xu Chan a break alone, and asked Xu Chan to settle down and have a good rest in the afternoon before returning to work tomorrow.
Time passed in the evening, Xue Yuan came to a hotel after get off work, and he booked a room here.
After completing the check-in procedure, Xue Yuan entered the room with the room card, closed the door, and walked to the bed. After looking around for a while, his eyes fell on the small desk by the window, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Walking to the desk, Xue Yuan lay down on the ground, and after tinkering under the table for a while, he crawled out from under the table, then took out his phone and pressed it, and saw the scene in the hotel room instantly appear on the phone.
scene.
It turned out that Xue Yuan had just been installing a pinhole camera. Looking at the picture on his mobile phone, Xue Yuan frowned. The angle of the camera seemed to be wrong.
Soon, Xue Yuan got under the table again, adjusting the position and angle of the camera while looking at the screen on the phone. After a while, Xue Yuan finally showed a satisfied look on his face.
Done! Xue Yuan smiled proudly and put the phone away.
What is Xue Yuan doing?
He is preparing for tonight!
In the evening, Xue Yuan made an appointment with Wan Hong. After settling Wu Wenwen's matter, Xue Yuan took the first step to control Wan Hong. Wu Wenwen's matter caused an irreparable conflict between him and Xu Honggang. Xue Yuan
It is clear that Xu Honggang will definitely be more wary of him in the future. The fact that the other party has not replaced him as secretary is nothing more than a tactic, so Xue Yuan will have to prove his worth to Xu Honggang next. On the other hand, Xue Yuan also has to defend himself.
It has always been his style to prepare an extra path.
And Wan Hong has become a crucial part of Xue Yuan's next plan!
After installing the camera in the hotel, Xue Yuan rushed to the hotel he had made an appointment with Wan Hong. This was the first time he asked Wan Hong out after Wu Wenwen's accident. When he called Wan Hong at noon, he heard Wan Hong's tone
There was obviously some hesitation. Xue Yuan knew that Wu Wenwen's death had caused Wan Hong some concerns. Although he had explained to Wan Hong that this matter had nothing to do with the other party and that it was his relationship with Wu Wenwen that had problems in the first place, Wan Hong obviously felt a little guilty.
, but fortunately, the set of lies he made up was able to fool Wan Hong. Since he successfully dated Wan Hong tonight, Wan Hong will not be able to escape from his grasp.
When Xue Yuan went to the hotel for an appointment, Qiao Liang was visiting an urban village in Shizhong District with two staff members of the inspection team.
Along with Qiao Liang was Qiao Liang's correspondent Wang Xiaocai. A group of four people were walking in the village in the city. Wang Xiaocai asked with some confusion, "Secretary Qiao, when we go to Shizhong District to inspect, we shouldn't go to the district."
How come the government agencies are here in this village in the city?"
"Haha, we have to go to the government agencies in the district, but we also have to come to the grassroots level. This time our inspection team mainly focuses on going down to the front line to understand the situation, which is different from previous years." Qiao
Liang laughed.
Wang Xiaocai scratched his head after hearing this, thinking that Qiao Liang always likes to do something different, so when he visited this village in the city, he found that Qiao Liang did not come during working hours during the day, but only came at night.
While the two were talking, there was sudden shouting and cursing in front of them. Several people looked around and saw two men cursing and dragging a woman's hair.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Qiao Liang stepped forward quickly and yelled.
"Who the hell are you? Get out of here." One of the men glanced at Qiao Liang and cursed.
"Two big men bully a woman, do you still think you are capable?" Qiao Liang said scornfully.
"Oh, where did this righteous man come from? He didn't even look where he was. If he wanted to see a righteous man working for you, he came to the wrong place." The man who was pulling the woman's hair let go of her and smiled ferociously at Qiao Liang.
Come over here.
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Do these two bastards still want to take action?
The two men made plans to attack Qiao Liang. Upon seeing this, Wang Xiaocai and others rushed forward.
"Ah, there is help for the co-author." When the two men saw that there were four people on Qiao Liang's side, they immediately became wary. No matter how arrogant they were, they didn't think they could defeat four of them.
"If you can, just wait here and don't run away." The two men said harsh words to Qiao Liang and the others, then ran away.
When Qiao Liang saw this, he cursed a coward. He thought these two people were so awesome.
As soon as the two men ran away, Qiao Liang wanted to step forward and help the woman on the ground up, but the other woman stood up on her own initiative. Qiao Liang asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you." The woman looked at Qiao Liang gratefully.
"No, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will help." Qiao Liang smiled, glanced at the other person, and asked curiously, "What happened to those two men just now?"
"What else is going on? They are here to collect the security fee. If you don't pay, of course you will be beaten." The woman did not answer. A store next to the roadside opened the door at some time, and a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress opened the door.
He was leaning against the door, smoking a cigarette and answering Qiao Liang's words with a smile.
"Safety fee, what is that?" Qiao Liang asked doubtfully.
"Safety fee, as the name suggests, is to ensure safety. If you do business on someone else's territory, of course you have to pay it." The woman puffed out smoke.
"What business are you doing?" Qiao Liang didn't respond for a moment.
When the smoking woman heard Qiao Liang's words, she looked at Qiao Liang strangely. She didn't know if Qiao Liang really didn't know or was just pretending to be stupid. She suddenly thought of teasing her, "Handsome man, do you want to know what kind of business you are doing? Come in and join me."
In the house, I will slowly discuss and communicate with you without charging you any money."
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. At this time, Wang Xiaocai understood. He leaned into Qiao Liang's ear and whispered, "Secretary Qiao, this woman seems to be a street girl. This is probably a place like a village in the city. You
Seeing that this alley used to be lined with storefronts along the street, I’m afraid they were all doing that kind of business.”
Hearing this, Qiao Liang looked up and immediately realized that there were many front rooms open in front of them. Standing at the door were women wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes, all of whom seemed to be watching the excitement.
Wang Xiaocai continued, "Secretary Qiao, the so-called safety fee should be for protection..."
Before Wang Xiaocai finished speaking, the smoking woman who had just spoken saw that Qiao Liang had already reacted and joked, "Handsome man, do you want to take care of my business? You look quite handsome, I'll give you a discount.
You can stay overnight for 200,500 a time.”
Qiao Liang was speechless after hearing this, because he had really entered a place like a village in the city. He had heard about it before, but today it was the first time he had really seen it.
The woman teased Qiao Liang, blew a smoke ring from her mouth, and said words of concern indifferently, "Handsome man, if you really want to help our little sister, just take care of her business. Her family is in trouble, so what she earns is
I have sent some money home, so you should be willing to help her and take more care of her business."
When Qiao Liang heard what the other party said, the corners of his mouth twitched. Before he could say anything, the woman whose hair was being dragged just now looked at him charmingly, "Brother, do you want to play? I'll just charge half of your money."
Yes, I promise to serve you comfortably."
"Ahem, there's no need for that." Qiao Liang waved his hands awkwardly and hurriedly left the place.
Wang Xiaocai and others hurriedly followed, and the four of them left the alley from the side road. Wang Xiaocai said with a smile, "I heard before that there is a whole street in Gufeng community, and the prices are cheap and affordable. I didn't expect to see it in person tonight."
"Why, is this place famous?" Qiao Liang frowned.
"It is quite famous. After all, Shizhong District is the city center of Jiangzhou City. As the largest urban village in the city center, Gufeng Community has gathered a large number of ordinary office workers and migrant workers. Some people
There is demand, and the rent here is cheap, so some women rented storefronts here and started that kind of business. Over time, a gathering effect was produced. Look at the alley we just passed by, on both sides.
They are all small front-end houses, and the entire alley is probably devoted to that kind of business." Wang Xiaocai said.
After hearing this, Qiao Liang frowned. Of course he now understood what the so-called security fee was. He frowned and said, "The person who collected the security fee just now looked like a local gangster, and it looked like he was no longer a gangster."
It's been a day or two. You should note down this matter and report it back directly to the people in the district bureau. Let them focus on the security issues in the villages in the city."
"Well, okay." Wang Xiaocai nodded.
The two walked while talking, and the group continued to stroll around the village in the city. Most of the time they walked through the alleys. The busier street along the street was lined with small restaurants, various small supermarkets, barber shops, and fruit sellers.
The fruit stall in this urban village is like a sparrow. Although it is small and has all the internal organs, it can be self-sufficient even if it stays inside without having to go outside.
"This urban village is not small, it is densely packed with houses." Qiao Liang said while looking at it.
"No, and almost all of them are self-built houses like this, which are six or seven stories high. Many local homeowners live on the top floor by themselves, and rent out everything below. The rent for a year is
At least it's hundreds of thousands, and some families even have several houses to collect rent, and they can live a life without worrying about food and clothing without having to do anything. No wonder some people say that you have to be reborn in the right place, and live in this city.
The people in Zhongcun can be regarded as the nouveau riche among the urban aborigines." Wang Xiaocai said.
"It's just eating the dividends of the development of the times." Qiao Liang pouted, "And I see that many of these houses were built on top. I guess there are many historical problems with illegal construction."
"No, anyone in this urban village who has some connections and connections will try their best to find connections to build a house. Every extra layer built is just a waste of money." Wang Xiaocai said.
“I’ve heard that Gufeng Community is going to be demolished a long time ago, but every time it’s ignored. I heard that the local residents of this community are very opposed to the demolition and are unwilling to demolish it. In addition, the cost of demolition here is too high.
, many developers calculated the cost and gave up." A staff member interjected.
