Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

In Zheng Shaoqiu's office, there was a middle-aged man in his 40s sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his head held high and a cigarette in his mouth, with a very arrogant expression. After Gao Hongda opened the door and came in, Secretary Zheng greeted him warmly, but the person on the sofa remained motionless and did not pay attention to the visitor at all.

Zheng Shaoqiu introduced the two of them. The middle-aged man was Zhang Silin, who was related to Mayor An Yunlai, whom we met in the bathhouse years ago. He was also one of the seven dragons and eight tigers under the gun master of Dachang County. Gao Hongda had never heard of what kind of person Gun Ye was, but he still extended his hand politely. At this time, Zhang Silin slowly put down his legs, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and grabbed his hand very perfunctorily. He waved his hand twice and said hello.

Obviously he knew something about Gao Hongda and didn't take him seriously at all. Maybe his so-called gun master's backstage was probably very tough.

After chatting for a while, Zheng Shaoqiu began to talk about the main topic: "Jiang Tianlu's nightclub has been closed for almost a month, and it has been determined to be the main industry. It is not the same thing to be idle all the time. What Mayor An means is that he hopes Zhang Silin and you, Xiao Gao, will work together to rebuild this nightclub. It’s not enough for such a large development zone without a decent entertainment venue.”

Before he could finish his words, Gao Hongda shook his head and said: "At that time, Li Jianjun wanted to sell it to me at a low price, but I didn't even want it. I was just a student and I had no interest in gray industries. An Anwen sold his own milk tea and opened a canteen. Okay, that’s enough for me, whoever is interested can take it!”

Zheng Shaoqiu was not angry, and said with a smile: "One moment and another, it was not a good thing for you to take over from Li Jianjun at that time. Now it is Mayor An who has spoken personally. You have to accept this good intention!"

Gao Hongda vaguely felt in his heart that it was impossible for a pie to fall from the sky, but it was possible for it to fall into a donkey's excrement. He didn't understand what Zheng Shaoqiu meant, so he wanted to listen to it for now. This time he chose to remain silent.

Zhang Silin became a little impatient, lit a cigarette again, and threw the lighter heavily on the table. He said lukewarmly: "Children, don't be ignorant, this is the leader giving us face!"

Gao Hongda chuckled: "Mr. Zhang also said that I am a child, so I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. I can only tell my adults."

Zhang Silin laughed loudly, pointed at him politely and said: "You are not the kind of coward who can play Jiang Tianlu to death and Li Jianjun until there is no one left. You said you are a child, and I won't believe it even if I beat him to death! To be honest with you , this Jiang Tianlu was supported by Mr. Pao like me, and he has been friends with me for decades. At first, our brothers were ready to take revenge on him, but Mr. Pao said that our skills are not as good as others, and we deserve to be unlucky. …”

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Hongda interrupted him impatiently: "Jianghu is all about Jianghu. I just want to live a stable life. His surname is Jiang. He wants to provoke me. You can't blame me. You two have gone around in circles. , just want to ask me to pay for Boss Zhang to open that nightclub!"

Zhang Silin nodded appreciatively and said, "It's refreshing to talk to young people. You don't need to beat around the bush. My brother-in-law originally meant the same thing. If we have money, we can all make money together, and it will also create tax revenue for the local area."

Gao Hongda continued to shake his head and said: "To be honest, I don't like that nightclub at all. People who earn two to three million a year are not as much as the interest I get from depositing money in the bank."

Zhang Silin said seriously: "Okay, let's not talk about money. This nightclub has symbolic significance. Whoever can get it can explain to the society in the eastern suburbs that we are the boss in the eastern suburbs and the local emperor in this land." Lord!"

This time Gao Hongda waved and shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, please don't scare me. I don't want to be the boss, let alone the master!"

Zhang Silin sighed sadly and said: "Young man, I really have no pursuit. If I had an opportunity like you, forget it, let's not talk about it. We'd better accept Mayor An's kindness. I also heard that you were going to We are building a mixing station in the eastern suburbs, and we will need Mayor An’s help in all aspects from now on!”

Gao Hongda didn't give him a chance to continue talking. He said it very directly and stopped talking at all: "I don't want to do that worrying work anymore!"

Zhang Silin didn't want to give up yet and continued to encourage: "Our master Pao has said that if you want to do any business in a big factory in the future, our master Pao will try our best to give you the green light."

Gao Hongda's rejection was also firm: "My dad said that all the good things that come to your door are a trap! Besides, you open your mouth or shut up and you are not a gunman. It has nothing to do with me. This Eastern Suburbs has the ability. There are too many people, so let’s leave this good thing to others! If it’s okay, I’ll leave first!”

At this moment, Gao Hongda's good impression of Zheng Shaoqiu disappeared all of a sudden. Fortunately, he still regarded you as his close brother. He called me here mysteriously today. If you dare, you should treat me as a scapegoat. All these rich people deserve to die, right? Everyone is here to take advantage of it.

Zhang Silin raised his face and threatened without any politeness: "If I don't give you any face, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in the eastern suburbs!"

Gao Hongda smiled and said arrogantly: "The last time the person who said such things to me was named Jiang Tianlu! Although this person made a mistake, I still admire him as a good man. At least he will not waste his life all day long. You talk about the backstage! My dad said that people like this are villains. Once something happens, such people will sell their backstage in the first round!"

Zhang Silin became angry and pointed at Gao Hongda and yelled: "You little brat, open your mouth and shut up. It's your father's, your father's. Who do you think your father is?"

Secretary Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally said something: "Old Zhang, please pay attention to what you say!"

Zhang Silin seemed to be a little scrupulous, so he put down his hand and said "Grass and mud horse!"

Of course Gao Hongda couldn't let him go and scolded him back: "Fuck you!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Zheng Shaoqiu quickly stood between the two and struggled to separate them, thus avoiding a fight. He angrily pushed Zhang Silin out and signaled Gao Hongda to wait in the office before leaving. .

After the two quarreled for a while outside, Zhang Silin left angrily, not forgetting to say a few harsh words before leaving. Thinking that this guy was about to go downstairs, Gao Hongda grabbed the glass ashtray on the table. He opened the window, aimed at Zhang Silin, and smashed it down. The guy seemed to feel bad and avoided it in embarrassment. Glass fragments were scattered all over the floor. Zhang Silin wanted to continue going upstairs, but was persuaded by the two security guards who rushed out to leave reluctantly. .

In the office, Secretary Zheng Shaoqiu reached out to Gao Hongda for a cigarette. The latter spread his hand, meaning, please, brother, I don’t smoke!

Apparently he was also confused. Only then did Zheng Shaoqiu remember that neither of them smoked, so he rummaged through the cabinets at his desk and found a box of cigarettes to open. He lit one unskillfully, held the cigarette handle and put it on the Chirping at the mouth. He grumbled: "What a crime. Who the hell did I offend? I threw these two living ancestors here!"

Gao Hongda said dissatisfied: "You are still wronged. You called me here nervously. I thought you were introducing someone to me! It turned out to be a good thing. You made me angry for no reason!"

Zheng Shaoqiu was choked and coughed repeatedly. Gao Hongda gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I choke you to death! As long as you dare to die, I will send you a wreath!"

Zheng Shaoqiu regained his composure, rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't dare to let Boss Gao spend money! There's nothing I can do about it. This guy made a surprise attack on me and caught me off guard. He hit Deputy Mayor An on the face. No. [-] came to me directly. I don’t know who gave him the bad idea. He wanted to take away the nightclub and get some money from you! How shameless!"

Gao Hongda took a cigarette from his hand and put it in his mouth. He grabbed his collar and asked half-seriously: "Don't fill me with ecstasy soup. Just tell me, which wave are you on today?" What do you mean?"

Zheng Shaoqiu slapped his hand angrily: "Go away, go away! Listen to what I have to say!"

Gao Hongda then lit up his cigarette, pulled up a chair and sat across from him, ready to listen patiently to his nonsense.
