Chapter 1190 [Keep Your Distance] (Part 2)
Zhang Daguanren was beaten to death and was unwilling to go ashore. The river gave him a good excuse. In the end, the black widow had no choice but to drive away.
Zhang Daguanren was convinced that the black widow had left, so he climbed onto the river bank, and was wet and a little embarrassed. However, he also had a way to deal with it, and he could conquer his internal energy and steam the clothes on his body in a short time.
The Wen family's storm has been safely overcome. In addition, the black widow's trouble made Zhang Daren avoid the capital. After saying goodbye to his relatives and friends on the phone, he went to the Beijing office to rest for a while, got the ticket, and headed straight to the train station.
The person Zhang Daren is most afraid of meeting acquaintances now, but he met two people at the train station. Speaking of which, these two people are also old acquaintances. Cheng Yuan and Yu Lan, the couple opened a red tattoo studio in Dongjiang. Cheng Yuan is Zhong Changsheng's good friend, and Zhang Yang met him through Zhong Changsheng.
Cheng Yuan was very surprised to see Zhang Yang. After Zhang Yang went to Binhai to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Cheng Yuan once looked for him. At that time, it was for a batch of strange stones. Binhai happened to carry out greening construction, so Zhang Yang helped him contact a business.
Cheng Yuan said: "Why is Secretary Zhang so coincidental?"
Zhang Daguanren smiled and said, "I'm just saying that you can meet acquaintances everywhere, Brother Cheng, when will you and your sister-in-law come to the capital?"
Cheng Yuandao: "I have been here for more than a week and have visited the stone market in Beijing."
Zhang Yang said: "I won't do my sister-in-law's tattoo shop?"
Yu Lan said: "I have been doing it all the time, but now the store has expanded, and the trained tattoo artists can already stand alone, otherwise I would not have the time to accompany Cheng Yuan."
After they checked the tickets and got on the train, not long after Cheng Yuan and his wife changed the room and came to the private room where Zhang Yang was. Zhang Daren originally planned to go to the dining car to make do with him, but when they met the couple, they had a lot of things. Yu Lan took out the braised dishes he had bought in advance, Cheng Yuan opened two bottles of Red Star Erguotou and drank them opposite Zhang Yang.
After the train started, Zhang Yang felt relaxed. He finally returned to his own land of one acre and three cents. Of course, he could not return to Binhai directly this time. He and Chu Yanran had previously called to go to Dongjiang to meet her first, and then took the old lady to Binhai to check it out. In this way, they happened to be with Cheng Yuan and his wife.
Zhang Yang is an official, and Cheng Yuan knows very little about the officialdom, so he will not ask questions on his own initiative. Zhang Daguan is too lazy to mention his own affairs, so their topics are all focused on Cheng Yuan's business.
Zhang Yang took the wine bottle and drank it directly and said, "Brother Cheng is still in the stone business?"
Cheng Yuan nodded and said, "I'm still working, and I'm preparing to build a mine. This time I came to Beijing to inspect the market."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The business is getting bigger and bigger."
Cheng Yuan said: "There is no big business. The stone industry is very deep. I started to make strange stones, but now there are too many people in this industry and rushed in. If there are more people doing it, the profit will naturally be diluted, so I can only find another way." He took a sip of wine and said: "But it is not that easy to mine now. The country's review of mine mining is becoming more and more strict. There are no new mining projects in Pinghai Province. I initially plan to go northwest."
Zhang Yang said: "Although I don't know how to do business, I know that I have to be ahead of others in everything I do. If I just follow the trend, it will definitely not be that easy to succeed."
Yu Lan said: "I don't agree with him. How much money is the most? Maybe it's because our women have a short-lived family and always think that enough food and spending is enough. The most important thing is that the family can be together. He wants to go to the northwest to start a mine. From now on, the only two of us are left at home. I don't know how many times we will meet in a year."
Cheng Yuan said: "While I am still young, work for a few more years and save more money, so that we can retire early."
Yu Lan sighed and said, "Thinking about it now, I was not as good as working safely in the unit. Although I earn more money now than in the past, I always feel that I am not as at ease as in the past. I really envy you guys who serve the jobs."
Zhang Yang laughed: "Iron rice bowl? There is no real iron rice bowl in this world. It is said to be an iron rice bowl, but you have to be extra careful when you hold it. If you fail, you will hit the foot, and you may not even be able to walk."
Cheng Yuandao: "It's not easy to do anything."
They arrived in Dongjiang early the next morning. When they were about to break up, Cheng Yuan gave Zhang Yang a pair of stone paperweights. The reddish-brown stones were covered with white spiral patterns, which looked like money and conchs inlaid.
Cheng Yuan told Zhang Yang that this is called money stone, which is actually a kind of paleontological fossil. The recent market for this kind of stone has broken the level and is bullish.
Official Zhang had no research on stones at all, so he left behind this pair of paperweights and planned to give them to Mr. Qiao in the future.
After Zhang Yang and Cheng Yuan and his wife broke up, they went directly to the Song family. Not long after ringing the doorbell, they heard Chu Yanran's voice: "It must be Zhang Yang who is back."
After the door opened, I saw Chu Yanran wearing sportswear walking towards him quickly.
Zhang Daguanren greeted him and accepted Chu Yanran's affectionate hug with a smile.
The two of them came to the small building hand in hand.
The old lady and Song Huaiming were watching the news together, and Liu Yuying and the nanny were preparing breakfast.
Zhang Yang greeted everyone, and Song Huaiming smiled and said, "He's back."
Zhang Yang said: "I just received a call from Binhai, so I may have to leave today."
Song Huaiming said: "You are the secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee. You cannot relax the post-disaster reconstruction work there. It is also necessary to go back as soon as possible."
Zhang Yang said: "I'll go back in the afternoon."
Margaret said on the side: "Yanran and I will go there with you. I asked Lin Xiu to prepare some disaster relief supplies. She has sent them over. I will go to inspect the disaster there and see what else I can help with."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Grandma, on behalf of the Binhai Municipal Party and Government, I would like to thank you for your loving actions. Looking back, I plan to award you the title of honorary citizen."
The old lady smiled and said, "I don't want any honor."
Liu Yuying came over to greet everyone for breakfast. After using the breakfast, Song Huaiming was about to go to work. Before leaving, he called Zhang Yang to his side and whispered: "How is the matter in Xiangshan Villa?"
Zhang Yang told him the specific situation. Song Huaiming frowned after hearing this. From the very beginning, he firmly believed that Wen Guoquan could survive the storm safely, but he did not expect that so many other things were involved and even injured a lot of lives. Song Huaiming believed that this storm was just the beginning and would never end there.
Song Huaiming gave Zhang Yang a suggestion: "Zhang Yang, since the matter of Xiangshan Villa has been over, you can work in Binhai with peace of mind. The province allocated aid funds for this natural disaster in Beigang, and it will be in place soon. I hope that you Beigang cadres can make good use of this funds and lead the people of Beigang out of the predicament as soon as possible."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Uncle Song, don't worry, I will do a good job in reconstruction."
Song Huaiming said: "What is the focus of reconstruction work?"
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "I think the focus is not on construction, but on rebuilding the confidence of the people and making their hearts full of hope. Only in this way can everyone be mobilized, and they can work together to do a good job in reconstruction."
Song Huaiming smiled and nodded, "You have finally gained some experience in your years of officialdom. It is said that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. The people must treat you as their own people, think that we are the cadres of the state sincerely serve them, and think that we can represent their interests. Only in this way can they be the same as us and their strength can be used in the same direction. By the way, your deputy department has been approved and you will take time to go to the Organization Department."
If Zhang Daren had to be happy about this news in the past, he was quite calm now. He realized that his period of freshness and excitement in the officialdom had passed, and even promotion could not bring him enough excitement.
Song Huaiming patted his shoulder and said, "Perform well." This also represents the leadership's encouragement to his subordinates.
Official Zhang never discussed with this father-in-law where his career should go. Since Gong Qiwei was killed, Song Huai has obviously changed his original intention. He did not want Zhang Yang to continue to take risks in Beigang. He knew Zhang Yang's position in his daughter's heart and could not take risks with his daughter's happiness.
Zhang Yang did not go there in the same car as Song Huaiming. He stayed at the Song family until nine o'clock before leaving. He came to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. When the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department Minister Jiao Naiwang heard that he was coming, he put down his work and received him.
Seeing Zhang Yang walking into the office, Jiao Naiwang smiled and stood up to greet him. Zhang Yang had saved his grandson's life, which was when Jiao Naiwang served as the secretary of the Nanwu Municipal Party Committee.
Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Jiao, I heard from Secretary Song that you want to see me."
Jiao Naiwang smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'll ask you to come here for two things. One is to notify you in person that your deputy department has officially approved it. Congratulations to you. According to me, I have never had a deputy department as young as you have in the history of Pinghai Province. You are only twenty-seven years old this year."
Official Zhang said to himself that I am only twenty-five years old and I can count them nationwide.
Jiao Naiwang asked him to sit down and asked his secretary to make a cup of tea for him. When the secretary served tea to Zhang Daren, he looked envious. Look at him, he was young and went to the deputy hall. He had been living in the middle of his life and had to follow others to take tea and water. He really had to throw away goods and die in comparison.
