When Qiao Liang returned to the county compound the next day, it was already afternoon. He and Ding Xiaoyun had been running around with people from the photovoltaic company for a whole day. The people from the photovoltaic company left with quite satisfactory results.
However, after the inspection, both Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun were not sure whether this photovoltaic company would definitely invest, but after some contact, they both felt from the other party's tone that the other party was very willing to invest, which also made them Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun were looking forward to it, especially Ding Xiaoyun, who had very high expectations for this matter.
Qiao Liang sat in the office for a while and looked at the time. He was about to get off work. He was thinking about the vague ambiguity that quietly developed between the two of them when he and Ding Xiaoyun were drinking in a hotel room in town last night. Qiao Liang Liang's heart became restless again, thinking about inviting Ding Xiaoyun to dinner in the evening.
"Bangbang——" Someone knocked on the door, and Qiao Liang called in.
When he saw the person coming in, Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment.
The visitor was Zhao Hongjin from the county government, followed by a strange man.
Zhao Hongjin was a passable loser. Qiao Liang wondered about the purpose of his coming over, his eyes roving back and forth between the faces of Zhao Hongjin and the strange man behind him.
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao is really busy. I have been looking for you all day, and now I see you." Zhao Hongjin looked at Qiao Liang and said with a smile.
"Secretary Ding and I accompanied the company inspection team to the countryside for inspection. What, Director Zhao has any objections?" Qiao Liang stared at Zhao Hongjin.
"No, how dare I have an opinion? That's what I said." Zhao Hongjin laughed dryly.
"Let's put it this way..." Qiao Liang snorted coldly and said unceremoniously, "Director Zhao, as a subordinate, don't you know how to talk to your superiors? Don't you know what attitude you should use towards your superiors?"
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, you..." Zhao Hongjin was so angry that he didn't expect Qiao Liang to dismiss him like this, but after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Liang was indeed right. Qiao Liang was a member of the county ***, and He is only the director of the county office, and Qiao Liang is right to say that he is his superior.
Taking a deep breath and thinking about the purpose of today, Zhao Hongjin suppressed the fire and forced a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, Deputy County Magistrate Qiao is right. I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Well, this is the right attitude." Qiao Liang snorted from his nostrils and looked Zhao Hongjin up and down, "What's the matter with Director Zhao?"
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, before I say anything, let me introduce this person to you first." Zhao Hongjin pointed to the middle-aged man next to him, "This is Zhuang Weimin, a once famous farmer entrepreneur in Liangbei County."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang glanced at Zhuang Weimin, nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhao Hongjin, waiting for the other person's next words.
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, Mr. Zhuang's former business collapsed and he was heavily in debt, but Mr. Zhuang has always had a career-oriented heart and wanted to make a comeback and once again benefit the people of Liangbei County. This time I heard that Chint The group has set up a poverty alleviation fund. Mr. Zhuang wanted to apply for a loan to start a new business, but somehow he was rejected. Yesterday I asked Director He and she said that she had consulted with you and said that the poverty alleviation fund is only for individuals. , not facing enterprises, Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, do I think this is inappropriate?" Zhao Hongjin talked eloquently, and finally asked Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang listened to Zhao Hongjin's sanctimonious speech. From the initial doubt to the inexplicable smile on his face, his eyes swept across Zhuang Weimin's face and finally landed on Zhao Hongjin. How could Qiao Liang not understand this so-called Zhuang Weimin is the white glove that Shang Ke and his gang pushed to the front. He may have really been a farmer entrepreneur in the past, but now he is definitely not the reason why he applied for a loan to start a new business as Zhao Hongjin said. He is nothing more than being accepted by Shang Ke. It's just a tool waiting for someone to push it on the table.
Looking at the unpredictable smile on Qiao Liang's face, Zhao Hongjin felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart and said patiently: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, what do you think of what I just said?"
"What did you just say?" Qiao Liang smiled slightly.
"I..." Zhao Hongjin almost ran out of breath and vomited blood. He clearly felt that Qiao Liang was deliberately playing tricks on him, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only say again, "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, I just said that the poverty alleviation fund is only for personal loans, isn't it? Is it appropriate?"
"Whether it is appropriate or not is not something that Director Zhao should worry about. This is the rule of the Chint Group. If Director Zhao is dissatisfied, he can ask the Chint Group." Qiao Liang looked indifferent and pushed the matter to the Chint Group, leaving the other party feeling helpless. Use it everywhere, so that the other party will not be able to make any plans later.
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, why haven't I heard that Chint Group had this provision when it established the poverty alleviation fund?" Zhao Hongjin questioned.
"If Director Zhao doesn't believe it, you can call and ask someone from Chint Group." Qiao Liang curled his lips and said.
Zhao Hongjin frowned when he heard this, rolled his eyes, and smiled: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, based on your relationship with Chint Group, I think as long as Deputy County Magistrate Qiao comes forward, Chint Group will make an exception. Deputy County Magistrate Qiao Do you think so? And I believe that Deputy County Magistrate Qiao will be willing to support entrepreneurs like Mr. Zhuang to start their own business again. After all, it can cultivate local entrepreneurs in Liangbei, which is also significant for the development of the county. Significant."
"Director Zhao thinks too highly of me. Chint Group has their corporate articles of association, and what they stipulate cannot be changed casually by me as an outsider. I also want to support entrepreneurs like Mr. Zhuang to start their own business again, but Chint The group's poverty alleviation fund focuses on poverty alleviation, which seems to have nothing to do with business entrepreneurship." Qiao Liang smiled and looked at Zhuang Weimin, "Mr. Zhuang, if you want to start a business, you should go to the bank to apply for a loan. The bank seems to have some small business. The loan is for your situation."
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, all bank loans require collateral. Mr. Zhuang is heavily in debt. Where can he get the collateral to pledge to the bank? That's why he wants to apply for a loan from our poverty alleviation fund." Zhao Hongjin said again. .
"Then there's nothing I can do about it." Qiao Liang shrugged.
Zhao Hongjin saw Qiao Liang's resolute attitude and seemed unwilling to let go. He couldn't help but feel angry and itched his teeth. Finally, he said coldly: "In that case, I won't bother Deputy County Magistrate Qiao."
Coming out of Qiao Liang's office, Zhao Hongjin clenched his fists in anger and said angrily to Zhuang Weimin: "Why didn't you know how to fight for it yourself just now?"
"Director Zhao, I don't know what to say." Zhuang Weimin nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
What a waste! When Zhao Hongjin saw Zhuang Weimin's appearance, he cursed in his heart. No wonder the company went bankrupt. Zhuang Weimin looked so damn stupid, but it was true that only such a person was easy to control.
"Okay, okay, you can go back first." Zhao Hongjin waved angrily at Zhuang Weimin.
After sending Zhuang Weimin away, Zhao Hongjin turned around and entered Shang Ke's office.
"County Magistrate Shang, Deputy Magistrate Qiao will not let go." Zhao Hongjin said as soon as he entered Shang Ke's office.
"What did he say?" Shang Ke frowned.
"He said it was a rule of Chint Group. I think it was just him deceiving us. I had never heard of Chint Group having this rule when it set up a poverty alleviation fund. It is obvious that Deputy County Magistrate Qiao is specifically working against us." Zhao Hongjin road.
"Then how did he know that we were behind this?" Shang Ke looked at Zhao Hongjin.
Zhao Hongjin was stunned for a moment by Shang Ke's question. After thinking about it, he was unsure and said, "Could it be that he saw me intervening in this matter, so he instinctively refused first?"
Shang Ke's eyes were wandering and he didn't answer Zhao Hongjin's words. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hongping Township, Shanglin Village.
Today is Friday, and Ma Yuanxiang has no classes in the afternoon. After class in the morning, Ma Yuanxiang and her mother-in-law took a car back to her hometown in the countryside after lunch.
It takes nearly three hours to drive from the county seat to my hometown in the countryside.
Ma Yuanxiang held a black box in her hand, which was her husband's urn.
Originally, after cremation in the funeral home, the ashes were temporarily stored in the funeral home. Ma Yuanxiang has also been looking for cemeteries near the county for her husband in the past few days. There are two cemeteries around the county, one is in the funeral home, which is more ordinary, and the other is in the mountains on the outskirts of the city.
At your feet, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the conditions are excellent, but the price is not cheap. Even in a funeral parlor cemetery with average conditions, if you want to choose a place for your husband, the price will be several thousand yuan. Compared with the price in big cities, this price is
Extremely cheap.
Ma Yuanxiang could not afford to pay several thousand yuan for a cemetery. She owed a lot of money anyway, so she just gritted her teeth and paid a few thousand more yuan. However, her mother-in-law insisted on taking her husband's ashes back to her hometown for burial.
Originally, Ma Yuanxiang was opposed to it, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also argued for a while, but the mother-in-law made a special trip back to her hometown, went to the village ancestral hall to worship, and then made a fortune telling that her husband's ashes must be sent back to her hometown for burial.
This will allow the husband to be reborn into a good family in his next life, and he will not have to suffer this kind of misfortune in his next life.
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Ma Yuanxiang, who was not superstitious at first, was shaken. Just to save her husband from suffering in the next life, Ma Yuanxiang changed her mind and decided to obey her mother-in-law's wishes and send her husband's ashes back to her hometown for burial.
When we returned to the village, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark. We had to wait until tomorrow to bury her husband's ashes. Ma Yuanxiang and her mother-in-law packed up the house first.
The house in her hometown has been unoccupied for a long time. When her mother-in-law came back alone two days ago, she tidied it up briefly, but it was still quite messy. Ma Yuanxiang will clean it up again now, with her mother-in-law helping.
The house had actually been lived in by my mother-in-law before. Because her husband was ill, she went to the city to help take care of it, so the house in my hometown became vacant and filled with dust.
The two were cleaning up, and the mother-in-law suddenly shed tears beside her: "When Anfu came back more than half a year ago, he said that he would renovate this house in his hometown when he had money in the future. I didn't expect that he would leave so suddenly."
"Mom, Anfu came back more than half a year ago?" Ma Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment, feeling strange in her heart. Wasn't it the time when her husband was diagnosed with liver cancer more than half a year ago? At that time, her husband came back to his hometown alone?
In Ma Yuanxiang's memory, her husband rarely came back alone. Because his hometown was too remote, he usually only took her back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year to spend the next year. As for normal times, he basically never came back unless her mother-in-law called to tell her about her hometown.
Something happened.
Ma Yuanxiang was still stunned when her mother-in-law said again: "No, Anfu came back more than half a year ago and shocked me. He didn't call in advance to say he was coming back. He came back in a hurry and rummaged through everything.
I didn’t know what I was doing, so I hurried back that day.”
Ma Yuanxiang was stunned by her mother-in-law's words. After thinking for a moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Ma Yuanxiang's mind. Cabinet? Yes, cabinet! There are many cabinets in this house back home!
