At this moment, the rhythmic sound of high-heeled shoes came from the corridor. Jin Peng pricked up his ears to listen, and a sly and weird smile appeared on his face. He snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, they're coming!"
Before they could see the person, a strong and pungent perfume wafted in through the old courtyard house. Niu Fuyong's eyes were wide open as he stared at the door. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. It was as if he had a pair of X-ray eyes and could already see the "superstar" outside the door.
Jin Peng got up and walked to the door. He opened the door himself, and an enchanting woman with heavy makeup stepped in. After entering the door, she patted Jin Peng with the bag in her hand and said, "I say, Peng Zi, I have a lot of social engagements during the New Year. Just now, I was talking to Director Zhang Baogang about the new movie. He called me one after another. It was like he was rushing me to death."
Jin Peng put on a smiling face and looked like a natural slave. He consciously bent down and held the woman's arm as if he was serving an empress. He said, "My lady, you're finally here. We have important guests tonight."
The woman twisted her hips exaggeratedly and raised her eyes with a contemptuous and arrogant expression. She said with a disdainful expression, "How can there be important guests?"
Jin Peng pointed at the two and said, "My lady, these two big bosses came all the way from Xijiang to invite you to dinner. Do you think it's important?"
The woman put her bag on the table and hung her mink coat on the chair. She wiped her bright red mink skirt with both hands and sat down to look at Niu Fuyong. She quickly retracted her gaze and said, "Big boss? How big is he? Everyone says he's a big boss. I've seen many of them. "
At this time, Niu Fuyong's eyeballs almost popped out. His eyes scanned the woman up and down like a scanner. He didn't hear what she said at all.
Jin Peng changed the topic and said, "Brother Niu, Brother Lu, let me introduce you. This is the big star I mentioned. Her name is Guan Ying, and she's from Manchuria. According to our Manchuria surname, our surname is Guar Jia, and we took 'Guan' as our surname. Even Hong Kong's famous movie star, Guan Zhilin, belongs to one of them. "
Niu Fuyong couldn't wait to shake hands with her, but Guan Ying's eyes had already flown to the sky. She didn't even look at him and continued to touch up her makeup in a small mirror.
From the moment Guan Ying entered the room, Lu Yiwei had been paying attention to this so-called "superstar". She had a head of wavy, brownish-yellow hair that rippled in the waves. Her face was covered with a thick layer of foundation, and her long eyelashes were extremely exaggerated. Her thick lipstick was like sausages hanging in the market. Her figure was not bad, but it was a bit far-fetched to call her a beauty. However, he had a halo above his head, so his identity was naturally different.
Unlike Niu Fuyong, Lu Yiwei did not lust after women. Instead, he held his teacup and coldly observed Guan Ying's every move.
"What a waste of time!" Guan Ying seemed to be extremely disgusted with Niu Fuyong. She put the small mirror back into her bag and said, "I thought you were an important guest. Alright, hurry up and eat. If you have something to say, say it."
Jin Peng saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he crawled over to Guan Ying and whispered a few words in her ear. Guan Ying's attitude changed immediately. She looked at Niu Fuyong with a smile and said, "Are you a coal boss?"
Seeing that Guan Ying was talking to him, Niu Fuyong rubbed his hands excitedly and nodded, "It's a small business, just enough to support myself."
"Aiyo! Don't be so humble. " Guan Ying put one hand on Niu Fuyong's shoulder. Her eyes seemed to have hooks that hooked Niu Fuyong's soul away. She said, "Little sister, it's not Boss Niu who has graced us with his presence. I apologize for my lack of manners just now. Who is this? "
"Boss Lu." Jin Peng hurriedly introduced.
"Boss Lu!" Guan Ying purposely dragged out her tone. She stretched out one hand and winked at him, saying, "I didn't expect Boss Lu to be so young and good-looking. It's our first time meeting. Please take care of me in the future."
Lu Yiwei stretched out his hand to show that he was not as hungry as Niu Fuyong.
When the dishes were served, it was Guan Ying's turn to brag. She pretended to say, "Just now, I was talking with Director Zhang Baogang, Teacher Li Xuejian, Teacher Chen Daoming, and Sister Mei Ting about the new movie. Director Zhang said that I will be the female lead in this movie, and Sister Mei Ting will be my supporting role. The main point is to make me into a powerful idol of the new generation in China. The movie will start shooting after the New Year. I'm going to be very busy! "
Lu Yiwei had never heard of the name Guan Ying, let alone a superstar. He deliberately asked, "May I know the name of the movie that Miss Guan will be starring in?"
Guan Ying said calmly, "The name of the movie has not been decided yet. It's still confidential. You don't know that those tabloid reporters are like flies, buzzing around everywhere to inquire about the news. They are as annoying as they can be. Director Zhang said that the movie will be aired in the CCTV Golden Theater in the second half of the year. The investment is huge, and the scene is magnificent. It's definitely worth watching. Since you want to know, I don't mind telling you a little bit. The movie is set in the Republic of China, and it shows a sad but beautiful love story in an era of gunfire. It's like 'Deep in the Rain', but definitely better. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei echoed, "Then I must watch it when the time comes."
"You must watch it. It won't let you down." Guan Ying said proudly, "I still have time to sit and eat with you today. When the time comes, it won't be so easy to ask me out for a meal."
Niu Fuyong believed her without a doubt. He jumped up and down anxiously, "Miss Guan, can you arrange a part for me as well?"
"You? Haha …" Guan Ying covered her mouth and laughed. She said, "You can act. How about you play my driver? Haha … "
Niu Fuyong said tentatively, "How about you play the role of the Empress Dowager, and I play the role of the servant who will empty the toilet for you?"
Guan Ying's expression changed. She looked like she was about to fly into a rage. Then, she smiled contemptuously and said, "Empty the toilet? Let's see if you have the ability to do it. "
Niu Fuyong was thick-skinned and continued to pursue, "What do I need to do, Miss Guan? Please give me some pointers."
"Aiya!" Guan Ying stretched out her hand and twisted the diamond ring on her little finger. She said, "Boss Niu, I've been wearing this diamond ring for more than a year. It's so polished that it has lost its luster. I'm embarrassed to wear it out."
"That's not a big deal. After dinner, go and buy one. You can choose any one you like." Niu Fuyong said arrogantly.
"Really?" Guan Ying showed a greedy expression. "Boss Niu, you really know how to dote on me. I won't stand on ceremony then."
If they were doubtful before, now they could basically confirm that she was this "non-mainstream star" in the clothes of a celebrity. What's more, her identity as a celebrity had yet to be confirmed. Lu Yiwei became suspicious, and Niu Fuyong seemed to be possessed. He had completely fallen into the ditch.
Lu Yiwei did not want to interfere with Niu Fuyong. Money was no longer important to him now. However, spending it on this kind of thing was really a waste of money.
After dinner, Niu Fuyong really brought Guan Ying to the jewelry store on Wangfu Street. Guan Ying did not stand on ceremony and picked the most expensive one. She walked out of the store with a smile. Her body almost fell on Niu Fuyong's body.
Niu Fuyong brought Guan Ying to the nearby Huguang Building. He did not care about Lu Yiwei and impatiently entered the room. Lu Yiwei shook his head helplessly.
At around 11 pm, Lu Yiwei had just closed his eyes when he heard someone knocking on the door. He got up and found out that it was Niu Fuyong before he opened the door.
"Aiya, Brother Lu, it was so f * cking satisfying!" Niu Fuyong said while lying on the sofa happily.
"Where is she?"
"Gone."
"You still feel satisfied with a diamond ring worth more than ten thousand for such a person? Your taste is really too low. "Lu Yiwei teased.
Niu Fuyong smacked his lips and said, "Aiya, it's worth it! This woman is very unrestrained. I can't handle her. How about it, are you interested? I have already left her number. If you are willing, I can let you have a good time. "
"Forget it, I don't have such worries." Lu Yiwei hurriedly waved his hand.
"It is indeed satisfying!" Niu Fuyong was still savoring the aftertaste and said, "That's strange too. There are differences between different women. The woman in Xijiang has rough skin and is not wild at all. This Guan Ying's skin is like Liangpi. It's slippery when you pinch it and soak it in water. Her kung fu is definitely superb. "
Lu Yiwei could not be bothered to reply and asked, "Fuyong, you dragged me all the way to Capital City just for this?"
"Yes, what else do you want?"
"I …" Lu Yiwei choked and could not say a word. "Then what about the investment you mentioned?"
"I have the intention. Isn't that the case?"
"Fine!" Lu Yiwei lifted Niu Fuyong up and said, "You better f * cking go back to sleep and go home early tomorrow morning. If you continue to squander your stinking money like this, you will lose it all sooner or later. "
"Wait, don't be anxious." Niu Fuyong sat down and said, "To tell you the truth, I am here to meet someone."
"Meet who?"
Niu Fuyong adjusted his sitting posture and said seriously, "I don't know if you still remember, but there was a person from Capital who cut the queue in Xiawan Village and later returned to Capital. It is said that he is now working for the National Development and Reform Commission. I am not sure what his position is, but I am here to meet him. "
When Niu Fuyong said that, Lu Yiwei did have an impression. He said, "Are you talking about Wei Qinghua?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's him."
Lu Yiwei said, "Wei Qinghua did cut the queue in Xiawan Village, but he only stayed for a year or so before returning. Later, the leaders of Nanyang County visited him several times, but he did not even meet him. I even went with Mayor Chu once, but I could not even meet him with all kinds of excuses. He looked down on me, so why should I rush to meet him? If you look for him now, will he meet you? Moreover, why are you looking for him? "
"He will definitely meet me." Niu Fuyong said confidently, "Did you see that Jin Peng tonight? Don't be fooled by his big mouth, but he does have a knack in this area. He has already made an appointment to meet tomorrow night. I have not experienced such a big scene, so I dragged you here. "
"Me? Do you think I have seen such a big leader? "
"You have more experience in the officialdom than me." Niu Fuyong said, "Besides, if we can get in touch with him, it will also be an investment. Whether it is for you or me, it will be quite beneficial. If you want to be promoted in the future, look for him. "
"Then what exactly do you want?"
Niu Fuyong smiled mysteriously and said, "I heard that next year's Xilin Expressway plans to pass through Guchuan County. I want him to change the route to our Nanyang County. At the same time, I am also interested in contracting the projects in Nanyang County. "
Hearing Niu Fuyong's grand vision, Lu Yiwei could not react for a long time. He did not expect that after just a few days of studying, Ren Baqian had a good grasp of the country's policies. He said, "Fuyong, you are not joking, right?"
"What's there to joke about?" Niu Fuyong said, "If I can get this project, I will f * * king do it. I will not have to worry about anything for the rest of my life."
"Tsk tsk!" Lu Yiwei exclaimed, "Fuyong, you are worried about all the leaders. They may not even be able to get it, and you are confident? Besides, the planning needs to be approved by the State Council. It is not as simple as you think. Also, do you really think building the expressway is that simple? Let's talk about the investment first. It will cost at least a few hundred million. Besides, you don't even have a company, and you want to get a project? Are you kidding me? "
"This is nothing!" Niu Fuyong said, "If you don't have money, you can get a loan. What's the point of having a bank? As for the company, it will start tomorrow and can be established today. There is no problem at all. Don't worry about this, I know what to do. Besides, I am not the only one participating in the project. There are a few other companies. "
Lu Yiwei realized that something was wrong and asked, "Did Xiao Zhiliang ask you to come?"
"Yes and no." Niu Fuyong said, "Secretary Xiao mentioned this to me. I thought about it carefully and think it is possible."
Lu Yiwei advised, "Fuyong, you just do your coal mine honestly. The coal market has been good for the past two years. Managing it well is not inferior to building the expressway. Since Xiao Zhiliang has an idea, why didn't he look for it and asked you to come instead? "
"Brother Lu, you are too timid." Niu Fuyong said disdainfully, "The country's development of the west is to open up the capital market and allow private capital to enter. We can't waste such a good opportunity. In this day and age, the bold are full and the timid are starved. What's there to be afraid of? "
Lu Yiwei did not know what to say. Perhaps he had formed a fixed mindset after being in the officialdom for many years and could not keep up with the pace of the times. However, he felt that this matter was too risky.
The next night, Lu Yiwei met Wei Qinghua at the State Guest Hotel.
Before coming, Lu Yiwei deliberately inquired about his situation. He was currently the Deputy Director of the Development Department of the Western Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission. According to the rank, he was the same as Lu Yiwei, a Deputy Director. However, he was in the capital and was working in such an important department, so his status was naturally different.
Wei Qinghua was indeed full of style. He was in his fifties and looked like a person in his forties. His gestures were more arrogant than a ministerial leader.
Jin Peng said, "Uncle Wei, I don't need to introduce these two. You cut the queue in their county, so you can be considered half a fellow villager."
Wei Qinghua squinted his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette. He nodded slightly and said, "Nanyang County? I have some impression of it. It's been many years. My brain is failing me. "
Niu Fuyong was a little timid in front of a high-ranking official, so he kept pushing Lu Yiwei to speak.
Lu Yiwei was also nervous. He took a deep breath and said, "Director Wei, I'm from Nanyang County. It's my honor to meet you today. I hope you can give me some pointers."
"Oh?" Wei Qinghua stared at Lu Yiwei and said, "What's your current position?"
Lu Yiwei said vaguely, "I'm just a small county official. It's not worth mentioning."
"Oh." Wei Qinghua looked up and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Lu Yiwei looked at Niu Fuyong and said humbly, "It's nothing much. I just wanted to visit you since I'm in the capital."
"Oh." Wei Qinghua said unhappily, "I'm usually very busy with work. Moreover, it's the Lunar New Year and I have a lot of social engagements. If it wasn't for Jin Peng, I wouldn't even want to meet you. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first. See you next time. "After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.
Lu Yiwei conveniently stuffed the envelope that Niu Fuyong prepared into Wei Qinghua's pocket and said, "Director Wei, it's the Lunar New Year. I originally wanted you to stay at home to take care of your child. It's not convenient to disturb you. Just take it as New Year's money for your child."
Wei Qinghua used his waist muscles to feel the thickness of the envelope. He smiled and said, "You're too polite."
"How about this." Wei Qinghua walked to the front of the table and poured a glass of wine. He said, "It's not easy for you to come all the way here. But my time is really tight. Let's have a toast." After saying that, he downed the wine in one gulp and left in a hurry.
On the way back, Niu Fuyong complained, "Brother Lu, why didn't you mention it earlier? This is such a rare opportunity. It'll be difficult to ask him out again. "
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Fuyong, we're not meeting a county official, city leader, or provincial leader. Don't think that his rank is high and his power is amazing. You also saw his arrogant attitude. He doesn't want to meet us at all. If you bring up such a big matter, do you think he'll agree? "
Niu Fuyong was puzzled and asked, "Then why are we here?"
"What's the hurry!" Lu Yiwei said, "Since you want to do it, you can't be too anxious. To deal with this kind of person, you must be careful. Since he dares to accept the gift this time, he will also dare to accept it the next time we meet. This meeting is to let him remember us. It won't be too late to bring it up the next time we meet. "
"But … the project is going to be finalized soon." Niu Fuyong was a little anxious.
"This kind of thing really can't be rushed." Lu Yiwei said, "Let's do it this way. Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. We'll come back after the Lantern Festival. Then we'll officially start work."
"Then we're going back empty-handed this time?"
"Are we going back empty-handed?" Lu Yiwei laughed and said, "You f * cking hooked up with a superstar. I'm not as lucky as you."
"Haha …"
The next morning, the two returned to Xijiang Province. As soon as they got off the plane, they received a call from Zhang Zhiyuan, asking him to go over immediately.
When they arrived at Zhang Zhiyuan's house, Zhang Zhiyuan pulled Lu Yiwei into the study room and whispered, "It's settled. Secretary Huang will be the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in the neighboring province. He will leave after the New Year."
Although this matter had been discussed for a long time, it was finally settled. Lu Yiwei asked eagerly, "Then who will replace Secretary Huang?"
"Based on the current situation, it's very likely that Governor Zhang will succeed."
"Then who will be the governor?"
"I don't know for now. But I heard that he will be transferred from other provinces or from the central government. "
