Zhao Daquan and Wang Hua met at Jinju Villa, which used to be a place jointly run by Liu Xiaojing and Ma Xiuying. Cao Rui and Wang Fei also renovated a small courtyard on the mountain.

After Liu Xiaojing's accident, the operation of Jinju Villa encountered difficulties. Ma Xiuying started trouble in the city again, and this place became a burden. Therefore, the price Wang Hua bought here was relatively reasonable. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Hua still "lost".

However, after Wang Hua took over, he changed the business model. This place no longer operates as a farmhouse, but as an ecological farm. The two courtyards on the top of the mountain are reserved for private receptions and tea. In addition, Wang Hua built a pigeon cage in the back mountain to raise pigeons.

Wang Hua bought this place without telling Cao Rui. He had two considerations. First, Cao Rui used to have a yard here. Once something happened to Liu Xiaojing, he basically stopped coming to the yard. It seemed like it belonged to an adult. Wang Hua felt uncomfortable.

In addition, Wang Hua considered that his master, Cao Dai'an, had raised pigeons all his life and had always kept them in a space as big as a palm on the roof of the community. Really famous pigeon breeders all have good venues, including breeding pigeon sheds and racing pigeon sheds. Wang Hua built a relatively large pigeon shed in the back hill of Jinju Villa, and built a pigeon shed in partnership with Master Cao Dai'an. The actual purpose of giving up is to allow Cao Daian to have a career and spend his old age.

Now Cao Dai'an and his wife come to Kumquat Villa several times a day. Cao Rui happens to have a yard here at Kumquat Villa. The condition of the yard is very good, especially in winter. There is a heating fireplace here. The two elders have lived here for a lifetime. There are stairs in residential areas, and you can definitely enjoy some happiness after retirement.

Zhao Daquan and Tang Xiaomi came together. Wang Hua greeted them at the door. After entering the courtyard, Wang Hua said:

"Xiaomi, Secretary Zhao is an honored guest! We can't even invite you normally. Let's drink tea and chat first. Later in the evening, I arranged for Xiaoxianglou to prepare the meal. We arranged it directly in the yard and we had a simple meal. ,Ha ha……"

Wang Hua calls Tang Xiaomi by his first name. Naturally, Tang Xiaomi feels that the two of them are brothers. In terms of age, Wang Hua is 49 years old, which is quite a few years older than Tang Xiaomi.

Tang Xiaomi had imagined many meeting scenes, but none of them were as good as Wang Hua's opening.

On the surface, Wang Hua seemed to be respectful to Zhao Daquan, but in fact he was very calm and confident, unlike other bosses who nodded and bowed to Zhao Daquan, flattering and smiling.

After sitting down, Tang Xiaomi took the initiative to make tea. As if he was the master, Wang Hua gave each of them a pack of cigarettes, and then said: "Secretary Zhao, you may not remember, when you used to work in Laoguan Town, We were playing basketball and had a fight. It happened almost 20 years ago, and I was punished for it..."

Zhao Daquan was stunned for a moment: "Is there such a thing? Then... is it a staff game?"

"It was the county employee basketball game, the home court of our department store. The referee was invited by No. 3 Middle School. He criticized us too much. We were young and vigorous at that time, and we couldn't bear to be wronged. If we felt angry, we would do it..."

"Oh, I remember it! Your department store at that time had the kind of mesh iron door with iron nails welded on top of the door. When the fight started, one of your boys was so weak that he closed and locked the door...

I was in good health at that time, so I jumped through the door and ran away in a few steps. There were still people who were holding us back, as if they were caught in the egg by a nail on the door, which caused a huge problem..."

Wang Huadao: "I was punished because of this. I was about to lose my job. At that time, my master saved his life and kept his job. But after working at the kerosene counter for a year..."

"Haha!" Zhao Daquan laughed heartily. He told Tang Xiaomi about the staff basketball game at that time. In the early 90s, material conditions were relatively backward, but sports in the county were in full swing. Zhao Daquan had not yet taken a leadership position at that time. , was the town’s cultural webmaster at the beginning. At that time, culture and sports were not separated, so Zhao Daquan specialized in the town’s culture and sports work. In those years, he must be familiar with the county’s basketball games.

As soon as the conversation started, the scene became relaxed. During the casual chat, Wang Hua clearly explained his own ups and downs, especially his resurgence in recent years. He said:

"Secretary Zhao, Xiaomi knows about my situation. Hu Zhonglin and I are among the first batch of entrepreneurs to attract investment in Wude City, and Lao Hu is among them."

Wang Hua didn't seem to say much, and everything was clearly explained. Tang Xiaomi was extremely shocked. He thought of a sentence: "The masters are among the people"!

Wang Hua placed himself on an equal footing with Zhao Daquan, and his conversation patterns and ideas were consistent with Zhao Daquan. In this case, it was not a question of whether Zhao Daquan believed in him or not, but between the two. It’s a question of whether individuals can cooperate.

Whether Zhao Daquan trusts Wang Hua or not is not that important to Wang Hua. Wang Hua got to where he is today because he got along with a big boss. Who is Hu Zhonglin? When Mr. Hu came to Wude, the boss of the municipal party committee personally received him, and Zhao Daquan had not yet been placed in the queue!

So now, the so-called obstacles and trust that were considered before have all changed. Then Wang Hua mentioned the Ding Zhao brothers in the chat, saying that the two brothers had a sworn hatred against him.

Because Wang Hua was divorced once, and his wife married Ding Zhaoxi after the divorce. At the lowest point in Wang Hua's life, he suffered all the humiliation. As a man, how could he not get back this situation?

The smart thing about Wang Hua is that he didn't mention a word about the discord between Ding Zhaoshuang and Zhao Daquan. He only talked about himself, and then said:

"Secretary Zhao, let me tell you the truth! I have wanted to touch these two bastards for a long time, but I don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. Yong Ping said they are friends of your Secretary Zhao, so I can only bear it!

Xiaomi came to me a few days ago and told me that the Ding brothers were not very authentic and that Secretary Zhao had helped them a lot. These two people had no sense of gratitude at all! Yes, Secretary, you listen to me!

Let me help you with these two bastards first, let them suffer a little, let them understand the essence of what noble people cannot abuse! It's strange that people are like this. As long as they can't eat, all they can think about is how to fill their stomachs!

As long as there is no money to spend, making money is the only goal. Once you have what you want to eat and there is no shortage of money to spend, some people will start to do it to death, haha..."

Wang Hua laughed loudly when he said this, then stopped suddenly and stopped talking about this topic.

Then the food in Xiaoxianglou was delivered. It was extremely rich, with game from the mountains, and the wine was Moutai. There was no one else, just three people and a pot of wine, and they chatted while eating, with endless topics to talk about.

After drinking, Zhao Daquan and Wang Hua had already hooked up and started calling each other brothers. The atmosphere was very harmonious!
