Cao Weidong parked his car in the county party committee compound.
At this time, a cadre came out.
Before he could speak, the police comrades took the initiative to greet him and whispered a few words to the cadre.
The cadre nodded, turned around and left.
Soon, the cadre came back.
Said that he would take Cao Weidong and others to see the county magistrate.
Cao Weidong and the others thanked the police comrades, and then followed the cadres towards the office building of the county party committee compound.
On the road.
Chen Xueru asked curiously.
"We just parked the car in the compound, why did the county magistrate want to see us?"
Lei Sanma said proudly.
"Because we came by car."
Chen Xueru still didn't quite understand and asked curiously.
"What's wrong with driving a car? What does this have to do with the county magistrate meeting us?"
Cao Weidong explained in a low voice.
"Xue Ru, you are so smart that you have never been so smart. Let me ask you, who can drive a car these days?"
Chen Xueru blurted it out without thinking.
"Of course he is a cadre."
"And it must be a senior cadre."
Cao Weidong added.
He continued:
"If I were the county magistrate and I knew that someone driving a car and who was suspected of being a senior cadre came to my unit's territory, I would still want to meet him and have a few words."
"If you don't understand the other party's intention, you will definitely feel uneasy."
Chen Xueru is also very smart.
After Cao Weidong's prompting, I immediately understood.
She chuckled and sighed.
"This cadre is really tiring to be a cadre."
Cao Weidong said with a smile.
"Whether you're tired or not, that's called sensitivity."
"And everyone has his own ambitions."
"Some people find this very tiring, but some people still enjoy it. It cannot be generalized."
Chen Xueru nodded repeatedly.
I think what Cao Weidong said is really good.
At this time, the cadre leading the way came over and asked curiously.
"Several leaders..."
Cao Weidong quickly interrupted the cadre.
"We are not leaders, we are the factory directors from the next county. If you don't believe it, look at it, we have a letter of introduction."
The cadre accepted the letter of introduction with disbelief.
After confirming it several times, he breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became more natural.
"Comrades, I heard from the police comrades that you are here to inspect. I wonder what you want to inspect?"
Cao Weidong explained immediately.
"I have some products that I want to sell in our department store here, so I came here in advance to check out the market."
"Oh, that's it... then I wish you good luck."
The cadres hesitated to speak.
There is some inexplicable meaning in the tone.
Cao Weidong felt that there was something in the cadre's words.
He deliberately changed the subject and talked about something more leisurely.
Soon, he learned that this young cadre was called Zhang Haichun, a native of Mu County, who had inherited his father's position and had just started working.
Cao Weidong had an idea in his mind.
After passing a relatively secluded place, he took two steps forward and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Zhang Haichun's hand.
"Comrade Zhang, we have just arrived in Mu County and don't know much about the situation here. Could you please give us an introduction?"
Zhang Haichun quickly gave in.
"What are you doing? Take your things back quickly."
With a flick of his wrist, Cao Weidong stuffed the cigarette into Zhang Haichun's pocket.
"We have no other intention, we just want to understand the situation in the county."
"This..."
Zhang Haichun's hand then touched his pocket.
Take it out a little.
He glanced down quietly.
My eyes suddenly opened wide.
Red box.
It’s the big front door!
This is such a good smoke.
Some cadres can't even smoke this cigarette.
Zhang Haichun hesitated, but finally stuffed the cigarette into his pocket.
There was also a smile on his face.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, what do you want to know?"
Cao Weidong said politely.
"We will listen to whatever you say. We don't know much about this place anyway."
Zhang Haichun thought for a while.
I picked out some things I can say and introduced them.
"Our county has two leaders in charge."
"One is named Shan Hongzhen, who is the county magistrate, and the other is named Tian Fuxing, who is the secretary."
"But currently only County Magistrate Shan is in charge of the work."
"Secretary Tian went to the city for a meeting a few days ago, and it will take a few days before he comes back."
"Other cadres are..."
"...."
Under Cao Weidong’s deliberate guidance.
Zhang Haichun introduced the situation of county party committee cadres and their preferences to Cao Weidong and others.
At the same time, he mentioned a few words about the situation of the person in charge of the department store.
Cao Weidong frowned.
Zhang Haichun doesn't seem to be optimistic about selling goods in department stores.
Both inside and outside the words, I was trying to persuade myself to give up this idea as soon as possible.
Why is this?
However, I haven’t waited for him to ask further.
Zhang Haichun took him to the front of an office.
"County Magistrate Shan is inside, you can just go in."
Cao Weidong entered the office.
Shan Hongzhen raised his head from behind his desk.
This is a cadre who is a bit stooped, wearing glasses, and looks a bit old.
Shan Hongzhen's eyes fell on Cao Weidong, the leader.
Said enthusiastically.
"Hello, comrade, I am Shan Hongzhen, the county magistrate of our Mu County. I wonder where these comrades came from?"
"Oh, we came from Wan'an County."
"Wan'an County?"
Shan Hongzhen was slightly startled.
Isn’t that the poor neighbor next door?
When will people in Wan'an County be able to drive cars?
He took the letter of introduction from Cao Weidong and found that it was really from Wan'an County, and the people in front of him were all factory directors of Wan'an County.
He asked curiously.
"What are you doing in our county?"
Cao Weidong introduced his purpose.
Shan Hongzhen was a little noncommittal.
He quietly brought the topic to the car.
"I heard that you also drove a car, who does it belong to?"
In order to avoid trouble, Cao Weidong said directly.
"A friend of mine lent it to me."
"That's it."
Shan Hongzhen thought he had figured out the details of Cao Weidong.
His attitude became cold.
He said a few words in a nonchalant manner.
Then he signaled that they could leave.
Walking out of the county party committee compound, Chen Xueru was a little angry.
"Who are these people? They know we have no background, so they know how to drive us away."
Cao Weidong didn't take it seriously.
"This is just the right thing to do"
"Our purpose is to come to the department store to discuss the distribution of goods. We should not have anything to do with the cadres in the first place."
Then he looked at Lei Sanma.
"Director Lei, now that we are on your territory, take us to meet the manager of the department store."
Lei Sanma snorted.
Reluctantly, he led Cao Weidong and others toward the department store.
Cao Weidong has been observing on the road.
I want to see how many people there are in Mu County and what the factory conditions are like, so as to judge the purchasing power of Mu County.
The results are quite optimistic.
The details here are wealthier than Wan'an County.
Soon, everyone arrived at the door of the department store.
This is a three-story building, quite spacious, with people coming and going in front of the door, mostly workers in work uniforms.
Several people walked into the department store.
Lei Sanma said: "The manager of the department store is upstairs. I will take you to find him."
At this time, Chen Xueru asked.
"Director Lei, are you selling goods here?"
"Yeah."
Lei Sanma responded with a smile.
Chen Xueru pointed to the side and said.
"I think that's the furniture sales area over there. Let's go and take a look."
This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
They always listen to Lei Sanma tell themselves how great the products of their furniture factory are outside, how popular they are, and how many stores they have opened.
Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they were still quite envious in their hearts.
Now I have a chance to take a look, which is also very good.
Lei Sama opened her mouth wide and stammered.
"Why don't we forget it and go see the manager first."
It's a pity that the objection is invalid.
Because Chen Xueru has already pulled Cao Weidong towards the furniture sales area.
Lei Sama sighed and followed dejectedly, her face full of bitterness.
Soon, everyone arrived at the furniture area.
Chen Xueru searched back and forth twice, but she didn't see the furniture produced by Lei Sanma's factory.
I couldn't help but look at Lei Sanma with some doubts.
"Director Lei, are you sure your products are available here?"
Lei Sanma nodded with some shame.
He took everyone directly to the most inconspicuous corner.
There is only one table with a picture album on it, not even furniture samples.
Plus the location is not good.
The nearby waiters did not guide us here either.
Therefore, when customers pass by here, they don’t even think that this is a shop and leave directly.
Lei Sanma pointed to this shop and said.
"This is the storefront of our factory in Mu County."
Everyone looked at each other.
Isn’t this too shabby?
They all looked at Lei Sanma.
Lei Sanma lowered her head, pursed her lips, and spoke after a long while.
"Hey, let me tell you frankly, actually..."
"Lei Sanma."
At this moment, a staff member wearing a department store uniform came over and called out Lei Sanma's name.
This is a lesbian with a gloomy face.
She said with a bad look on her face.
"I finally found you. When will you pay the management fee you owe?"
Lei San was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"We made a promise at the beginning, but you failed to fulfill your promise. Why should I pay management fees?"
"Why? Just because you occupied the space in our mall, if you don't pay the management fee you owe today, I will ask the police comrades to come over."
The department store manager sounded arrogant.
Lei Sanma's voice also became louder.
"You can scream if you want. It's just enough to confront you in front of the police comrades and see how much of your original promise has been fulfilled."
Seeing the trend of Yu quarreling with Yu Lie here, Cao Weidong said quickly.
"When can I say it slowly..."
The mall manager's tone is sarcastic.
"What's your business here? If you don't pay the management fee for him, stop talking."
Cao Weidong raised his eyebrows.
This attitude is too bad.
But he really has no good way to deal with a lesbian who has completely gone crazy.
Even if I want to interrupt, there is no room to speak.
At this moment, Chen Xueru pulled Cao Weidong and said with a smile.
