As he spoke, there was an ear-piercing screech of brakes. Lu Yiwei got up and looked over. He saw a sedan did a beautiful drift, stepped on the accelerator, and entered the parking spot. His superb driving skills and skillful technique impressed Lu Yiwei, who had many years of driving experience. After paying the deposit, he looked at the license plate. It was the car of the County party committee. He Jian had arrived. Lu Yiwei immediately went out to welcome him.
"Bang!" He Jian slammed the door shut and turned back to look at the car. He walked to Lu Yiwei and asked, "Yiwei, when did you buy this car?"
The person left, but the car did not. Zhang Zhiyuan's car was left to Xiao Zhiliang. Lu Yiwei said, "I bought this car two years ago. How is it? The performance is not bad, right? I bought a Passat with the highest specifications. "
"Not bad?" He Jian said with disdain, "This car is not good. I have to change it! Besides, the Passat was an unlucky car. Passat, a "funeral"? Secretary Xiao never sits in it. It's not good. "
It was the first time Lu Yiwei heard of such a transliteration. He did not say much. From this small detail, it could be seen that Xiao Zhiliang was a person who paid attention to details. He laughed, "Sure, change it. Come, come, come. Please come in."
He Jian did not stand on ceremony. With the company of Lu Yiwei and Yang Jianguo, he swaggered into the restaurant.
He Jian wore a black tracksuit. On his neck was a gold necklace that was as thick as a thumb. It was very eye-catching. On his wrist was a watch. Lu Yiwei glanced at it. It was shining. It should be expensive. As the secretary of the County party committee, it was not appropriate for the driver to dress like this. He looked more like a hooligan on the street. However, Xiao Zhiliang did not say anything. Why should he care about other people's business?
After entering the private room, He Jian dragged out a chair and sat down. He took off his sunglasses and threw it on the table. He looked around and asked, "Yiwei, is this the best restaurant in Nanyang County?"
Hearing He Jian's tone, Lu Yiwei felt embarrassed. He nodded, "Brother He Jian, Nanyang County is backward. This should be good."
"Hi!" He Jian placed his hands on the table and crossed his legs over his right. "Nanyang is really poor. It's not even as poor as Guchuan County. I really don't know what the leaders used to do for a living. Even the restaurants here are so shabby. It shouldn't be."
Lu Yiwei saw clearly that the driver was wearing a Patek Philippe watch, which was considered a luxury item. The price was astoundingly high. He really couldn't understand why a driver would wear such an expensive watch. "That's right," he said, "Nanyang is indeed developing slowly. Now that Secretary Xiao has finally arrived, Nanyang's spring has arrived." He blurted out these compliments, but he didn't dare to believe it himself.
"Of course!" He Jian said with a proud expression, "I don't dare to brag to you about other things, but Secretary Xiao definitely has a way with the economy. Just watch, in less than a year, Nanyang will change drastically."
Lu Yiwei seemed to be able to obtain some important information from He Jian, so he quickly asked, "How does Secretary Xiao plan to develop it?"
Although He Jian was not cultured, he had been in the government for many years. He was considered a wily old fox. Just as he was about to ramble, he immediately covered his mouth and said with a smile, "It's a secret for now."
Lu Yiwei was tactful and didn't continue to ask. Instead, he asked, "Why isn't Director Tang here?"
"He's busy writing documents for Secretary Xiao. There's no need to wait for him. He said he would be here if he could, but if he can't finish it, he won't come. It's okay, Little Nian is a good person," He Jian said.
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said, "Then let's begin?"
"Let's begin. I still have to rush to the venue later," He Jian appeared to be a little impatient.
The dishes were served. Yang Jianguo was really generous. It was just the two of them eating. There were more than ten dishes, all of which were the signature dishes of Veterans Fishing Harbor. However, He Jian didn't seem to be interested. It was no wonder. He had been eating and drinking with the leaders all year round. What kind of food had he not seen? However, when the special Maotai was served, it seemed to have caught his interest. He grabbed it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He asked, "Where did you get this wine?"
Lu Yiwei added, "I heard from the boss here that it was from the winery."
He Jian couldn't wait to open it and take a sip. He smacked his lips and nodded, "Hmm, good wine. It's really good wine." It could be seen that he was a wine lover.
Lu Yiwei quickly said, "Brother, if you like it, I'll ask the boss to make more for you."
"Sure." He Jian said without hesitation, "To tell you the truth, I don't have any hobbies except smoking and drinking. If the wine isn't good during meals, I won't even touch it. However, I want to have a drink with you today, haha. "
"No problem!" Lu Yiwei stood up and called Yang Jianguo in. He asked in front of He Jian, "How much of this wine is left?"
Yang Jianguo didn't know if he should tell the truth or lie. He said, "A total of two boxes …"
"Alright, later you can move the whole box to the car for Brother He Jian," Lu Yiwei said.
"Okay."
"Aiya!" He Jian said with a smile, "I made your brother spend a lot of money."
"Don't mention it. We're brothers. You're treating me like an outsider," Lu Yiwei said seriously.
"Alright, since you have the intention, I'll accept it. We still have a long way to go." He Jian's last sentence was meaningful.
At the start of the meal, Lu Yiwei raised his glass and said, "Brother He Jian, I didn't expect us to be together. This is fate. I won't say much, but I hope you'll take care of me in the future. "
"You're being too polite," He Jian said politely. "There's no need for us to take care of each other. Moreover, you're already a member of the Standing Committee. You don't need me to take care of you. As for you, you have to take care of me in the future. "
"Hmm?" Lu Yiwei drank the wine and said, "Do you need me to do anything?"
He Jian put down his glass and lit his cigarette. "Since we're brothers, I'll be straightforward. I'm a chauffeur, and I only earn about a thousand a month. It's not even enough for me to spend, much less feed my family. I'm a man, so I have to socialize. Courtesy demands reciprocity. It requires money. I opened a small bar in the past, and it lost money! I'm still in debt now. Don't you think I'm unlucky? "
Lu Yiwei heard some clues, but he did not respond. He just kept nodding.
"Sigh! I have to live too. That's why you have to take care of me and earn some extra money, "He Jian said straightforwardly.
"I understand what you mean. Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Lu Yiwei did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly.
He Jian said, "I'm a stranger in Nanyang County. You're my only friend, so you have to introduce me to some business. The coal market has been booming for the past two years. Why don't you help me pull some strings and open a coal mine? "
He thought for a while and said, "That's possible. How about this, I'll contact you now. " How about this, I'll contact you now. "
When He Jian heard Lu Yiwei say that he would act immediately, there was no need to mention how happy he was in his heart. He said hypocritically, "What's the rush? Let's eat first. We still have a long way to go."
Lu Yiwei called Niu Fuyong right in front of He Jian. For the single-handed Niu Fuyong, he urgently needed a strong backer to support his career. Coincidentally, He Jian appeared.
At this moment, Niu Fuyong was squatting at the construction site and eating. When he heard that Lu Yiwei wanted to introduce him to a friend, he knew that it must be a good thing and agreed without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei said, "This brother of mine owns a coal mine, and he's looking for a partner. I believe that the two of you will hit it off. But he's in North River Town, and he's on his way. I think you'll have to wait for a while. "
He Jian chuckled happily and hurriedly said, "No rush, no rush. Just wait for him."
At this moment, He Jian's phone on the table rang. He picked it up and said, "It's County Kao. I might not be able to make it tonight as I have a few important friends. Maybe another day." After saying that, he closed the phone and threw it on the table. Without a doubt, it must be Deputy County Head Gao Bowen.
"Come, come, come. Let's drink while we wait." He Jian said.
Lu Yiwei took the opportunity to speak his mind. He thought that the other party would be troubled, but He Jian patted his shoulder and said, "This is nothing. Isn't it just asking Secretary Xiao to make a trip to the village? Leave it to me. I'll talk to Secretary Xiao later."
From He Jian's tone, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. For a driver to be able to do this, he could be considered a successful person. Thinking about Zhang Zhiyuan's driver, it was a world of difference. After arriving in Nanyang County, Zhang Zhiyuan gave his driver, Old Wei, a strict order. He was not allowed to accept gifts behind his back, not allowed to interfere with government affairs, and most importantly, not allowed to collude with local officials and businessmen. The three prohibitions were like a curse, but Old Wei did it.
However, Lu Yiwei was still a little worried. Could the other party really influence Xiao Zhiliang's thoughts? At least, he wasn't convinced. If the other party was a secretary, it might be possible, but a driver …
With good wine, He Jian drank a little too much. He took off his jacket, revealing the tattoo on his body. He started chatting with Lu Yiwei, "Yiwei, you might not believe me if I tell you this, but do you know why Secretary Xiao treats me so well? Take a guess. "
Lu Yiwei shook his head. "I can't."
"Let me tell you. I saved Secretary Xiao's life before." He Jian blushed and said mysteriously, "At that time, Secretary Xiao was just a small deputy mayor in our town. I was still young then. I think I was eighteen or nineteen, but I can't remember. One time, he was fishing in the reservoir. Splat! He fell into the water. Secretary Xiao didn't know how to swim, so he flopped and shouted for help. At that time, I was swimming and saw him, but I didn't dare to save him. You have to know that it was a reservoir. I still don't know how deep it is. Seeing Secretary Xiao sink bit by bit, I threw caution to the wind and swam over to save him. Think about it, a person falling into the water would definitely be afraid of death. He grabbed my arm and pulled me down, almost drowning me. Luckily, my playmate was smart and threw a piece of wood into the water. It took me a lot of effort to save him. "
"When I reached the shore, Secretary Xiao fainted on the spot. Luckily, my old man taught me first aid, so I was able to save his life. Secretary Xiao remembered it for two days. Alright! I didn't think much of it, but he did. He bought a lot of things to my house to thank me. What do I know? I ate all the good stuff. Haha, that's it. "
