The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen arrived at the office. As soon as he turned on the computer, MSN was beeping. Xiaofang was requesting a video connection. Zhang Chen clicked on the video. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiaofang were having dinner. Zhang Xiangbei Show Zhang Chen a pot of potato stew and beef and say that he made it.

Xiaofang shouted from the side, "Brother-in-law, look, has Beibei inherited your genes? Is the food he cooks good?" If you try it, you will know that it tastes great.

Zhang Chen looked at the camera. The pot was so messed up that he couldn't tell which was potatoes and which was beef. He lost his appetite just looking at it. However, he still praised, "It's really good. Zhang Xiangbei looks so delicious and delicious." Dad wants to eat it.

Zhang Xiangbei said, when I go back, I will cook it for you.

Zhang Chen said okay.

As they were talking, Xiang Nan walked in, and Zhang Chen called out: "Xiang Nan, do you want to have a video chat with Zhang Xiangbei and Aunt Xiaofang?"

When Xiang Nan heard this, he quickly ran over. Zhang Chen gave his seat to her, and he walked to the sofa and sat down.

Zhang Xiangbei was surprised when he saw Xiangnan and asked, "Sister, why are you in Hangzhou? Are you on winter vacation?"

"I dropped out of school," Xiangnan said.

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiaofang were both surprised. Zhang Xiangbei asked: "Sister, what did you say?"

"I dropped out of school and stopped going to school. Next, I'm going to work in a theater troupe. Compared with making movies, I still like acting." Xiang Nan said.

Zhang Xiangbei didn't believe it and asked, "Can your mother let you go?"

"She will definitely disagree, but my group of relatives and friends is too fierce. Under everyone's attack from inside and outside, she has no choice but to surrender." Xiang Nan said.

Zhang Xiangbei laughed and said, "Sister, you are so awesome. You have already graduated before I even went to college."

Xiangnan put on a straight face and said, "Zhang Xiangbei, be serious. My sister has something to tell you."

Zhang Xiangbei put away his smile and said, "I'm serious, sister, please tell me."

"Zhang Xiangbei, let me tell you, you can't learn from your sister, do you know that? You have to go to school well and take exams well, otherwise my sister will ignore you, do you know that?" Xiang Nan said.

Zhang Xiangbei agreed, and he said, "If I don't study hard, Aunt Xiaofang won't let me go."

"You just need someone to take good care of you. If you don't care about you, you will raise your tail." Xiangnan said, "Zhang Xiangbei, don't think that you can hide in the United States. I will keep an eye on you. If you don't behave well, , I flew to the United States to teach you a lesson."

Zhang Xiangbei said, OK, I understand, sister, don’t worry.

Xiaofang also said from the side: "Don't worry, Xiangnan, studying at Beibei is still very easy."

Xiang Nan nodded and said, that's good.

Zhang Xiangbei showed Xiang Nan the beef and potato stew he had made. Xiang Nan nodded and said:

"That's right. Although this dish looks a bit ugly, being able to cook it shows that you have made progress. Keep up the good work, Zhang Xiangbei."

Zhang Xiangbei said "Oh".

"Okay, Zhang Xiangbei, my sister has to go to work in the financial center next door. Goodbye! Goodbye, Aunt Xiaofang!" Xiangnan waved towards the computer screen.

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiaofang also said goodbye to her.

This was the second day that Xiang Nan came to work upstairs in the dynamic zone. As soon as she walked out of Zhang Chen's office, she saw Wenwen in the dormitory building, standing at the door of her room waving to her, and walked to Nan. Wenwen He pulled her into the room, closed the door, and told her that she was very happy!

"What's wrong?" Xiang Nan asked, confused.

"Do you still remember that Boss Chen, that bastard who was dishonest during dinner that day?"

"Remember."

"Taught a lesson."

Wenwen said, and then she danced and danced while talking, how Xiao Jin pressed Boss Chen's pig head on the table, and how he punched twice. She said it vividly, as if she was watching from the side.

"He is now a national first-level protected animal and a national treasure." Wenwen said.

"What happened to him?" Xiang Nan asked.

Wenwen pointed to her two eyes and said to Xiangnan, "I have turned into a giant panda."

Xiang Nan laughed.

"Should we go and have a look? Come to his company and see this old friend?" Wenwen clicked her tongue, "I really want to see him."

"No, no, it's up to you to go and see, I don't want to go." Xiang Nan quickly waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, but I have to pick up a reporter at the airport in the afternoon. You should prepare for an exclusive interview tomorrow morning." Wenwen and Xiangnan said.

…

Tomorrow is the day when Zhang Chen and his friends will open the "Hangzhou Women's Wear Exhibition Hall." Zhang Chen knows that Liu Chengcheng and Li Yong will come, but he doesn't know when they will come.

It’s just that the city government office has been confirming with Zhao Xin that Liu Chengcheng, the mayor of Hangzhou City after Liu Chengcheng, the current deputy governor, Li Yong, and the current mayor of Hangzhou City, the four previous mayors will collectively Ribbon cutting.

This shows that they attach great importance to "Hangzhou style women's clothing", the business card of Hangzhou. Zhang Chen knows that this is actually the respect that his successors have for Liu Chengcheng. "Hangzhou style women's clothing" was promoted by Liu Chengcheng and is one of his political achievements. This This is everyone's tribute to Liu Chengcheng, the old mayor, through the opening of the "'Hangzhou Style Women's Wear' Exhibition Hall".

As far as their exhibition hall itself is concerned, Zhang Chen knew that it was not of such great importance that it could disturb so many important people.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yong called Zhang Chen and told him that he had arrived at Xizi State Guesthouse.

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll arrange it tonight." Zhang Chen said.

"No need, Zhang Chen." Li Yong paused and laughed at himself: "Now, I am no longer free."

Zhang Chen understood that Li Yong was now a third-level security guard. Wherever he went, there would be a secretary and a guard by his side. Of course, he couldn't just go wherever he wanted.

"Then I'll come over to see you." Zhang Chen said.

Li Yong said yes, "I should be free after 8:30 pm. When you are about to arrive at the hotel, give me a call first."

Zhang Chen said yes.

At almost nine o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Chen drove to Nanshan Road, he called Li Yong. When he arrived at the hotel lobby, Li Yong was already waiting for him. Zhang Chen knew that Li Yong was here to let him Without visitor registration and necessary interrogation, it would be too much trouble. This is Li Yong's consideration.

The two people entered Li Yong's room, and Li Yong said: "Zhang Chen, I was on the plane and missed your Tuxiangyuan cuisine."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, we can go there now."

"Forget it, don't cause that trouble." Li Yong waved his hands and said, looking at Zhang Chen, both of them laughed.

"We can also arrange it at noon tomorrow." Zhang Chen said.

Li Yong shook his head, sighed and said:

"I can't help myself. Please forgive me. I can only think about it. After the ribbon-cutting tomorrow morning, the province will make arrangements at noon. I will go back to Beijing in the afternoon to see old friends. I only have this little time now. "

When Li Yong said this, there was some helplessness on his face.

Zhang Chen said: "Li Yong, do you miss the days of Mayor Li now?"

"To be honest, I don't miss it. It was a day when I felt like I couldn't exert my strength everywhere. It was too painful." Li Yong said, "However, I often think of the scene when I was riding a bicycle and going down the twenty-four turns. , every time before going downhill, I will carefully check the handbrake and brake pads. When going downhill, my hand is holding the handbrake and I dare not let go for a moment.

"Later, when I was working, I often remembered that I was walking through twenty-four twists and turns, and I didn't dare to relax for a moment. Only by being cautious can I fulfill my mission."

Zhang Chen nodded.

"By the way, Zhang Chen, there seem to be fewer videos of you online now." Li Yong said.

Zhang Chen smiled sheepishly and said, "I've been scolded by you so much, how dare I talk nonsense."

Li Yong laughed loudly and said: "I am not scolding you, but discussing methodology with you. Without investigation, you have no right to speak. If you want to criticize, you must investigate carefully, otherwise it will not help the matter and just say nothing." It may hurt innocent people. I would not have said this more than 20 years ago, but we are not the same people we were more than 20 years ago.

"You, Zhang Chen, are also a public figure now. Why you are called a public figure is because your words and deeds will have an impact on the public, so you should be careful what you say."

"Do you think it's like taking twenty-four turns?" Zhang Chen asked.

Li Yong laughed and said, yes, that's the way it is. Don't think that only we are subject to public supervision, and you are the same, and you can't be quick.

"I dare not say anything anymore." Zhang Chen said, "Not only you, but also my son criticized me."

"Well, it's an honor that Zhang Xiangbei and I have the same view." Li Yong said with a smile, "It's rare for young people and I to agree. My son is very disdainful of me now. He doesn't mean that I'm old-fashioned. When he talked about my Eight-part Gu and Back, I didn’t expect that I would find a close friend here in Zhang Xiangbei.”

Zhang Chen also laughed and said:

"Li Yong, you are right. You asked me to calm down and do some research. I can't do it. My greatest ability is to complain, but the Internet will expand this complaint infinitely. Many times, Even I can’t control the scope of its spread, so it’s better to say less.”

Li Yong nodded.

"By the way, is there still no news about Ganzi and Lao Meng?" Li Yong asked.

Zhang Chen said no.

"If there is any news about them, Zhang Chen, you must call me and tell me." Li Yong said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

"Zhang Chen, you asked me earlier if I miss the days of Mayor Li. I told you that I don't. At that time, I felt that I couldn't exert myself everywhere and was too frustrated, but that's not all." Li Yong said, "Actually, I don't miss him. There is also a deep sense of frustration, and it feels unbearable to look back.

"Just after you, Zhuangzi, and Lao Meng came to see me, at that time, I suddenly felt as if I had a foundation in my heart. This foundation was brought to me by you, and I was supported by you. At that time, I felt that I Finally, we can do something practical and change the face of poverty in that place.

"But you also know the result. I still fell short. Zhang Chen, do you know what made me feel the most uncomfortable and finally made up my mind to leave that place?"

Zhang Chen shook his head.

"It's not the actions of some people. I can think of the actions of some people with my knees and take precautions. What makes me feel uncomfortable is that it is those villagers who are most in favor of distributing the money immediately. This is something I have never thought of, and this is what I told you. In China, the complexity of things may exceed our imagination, and we cannot define anything."

Li Yong said, Zhang Chen nodded.
