Lu Changfeng came out of Yi Anan's yard, feeling upset. He strolled along the river and then went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Changfeng was called to the mayor's office.

"Xiao Chang, you have to watch your behavior. Don't forget that you are now the secretary of our town government. We are planning to put the town's economy in your hands. You can't take the lead in doing those things behind the scenes, can you?" The mayor looked at Lu Changfeng sternly and said.

When Lu Changfeng heard this, he thought about what happened to Wu Ren in the black market alley yesterday, and he knew what was going on. However, he pretended not to know the reason and asked, "Mayor, what do you mean by this? In recent days, in order to find out the economic situation of the town, you go out early and come back late, and even go to the black market to inspect at night. Last time, you were almost beaten up. How could you be so dedicated to your work? Did you misunderstand something?"

The mayor was stunned for a moment: "You said you went to the black market to investigate the situation?"

"Yes, the black market has been rampant recently. The reselling of cloth coupons and food coupons is secondary. Even the reselling of antiques is a vicious business. Robbery on the way back is robbery. If we want to develop the economy, we must look at the black market transactions correctly and understand why the black market is so rampant. Does the money and ticket system really meet the needs of the people?" Lu Changfeng said, "After you took office, the mayor, the first thing you thought of was economic development. So what is the development method? If we follow the past method, it will definitely not work. We need innovation, but this innovation is allowed by national policies!"

The mayor hesitated for a moment. In fact, this mayor was transferred from the south and was a liberal because of the reckless economic development. However, the development of the private economy was something that this mayor had been investigating. Lu Changfeng had been in the officialdom for so many years and had a better idea of ​​the preferences of some leaders, so he brought it up.

The mayor stepped forward and patted Lu Changfeng on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that in this small northern town, I could find comrades with the same ideals as you. It's really not easy!"

Lu Changfeng quickly asked: "So, the mayor thinks what 놖 said is correct?"

The mayor nodded: "In recent years, the country has been stable, but it has developed slowly. I have a classmate in the capital. He told me that some leaders have the idea of ​​developing the private economy, but it will take a certain distance and time to implement it. I want to ask you, are you willing to take the risk and work with me? If we do well this time, Yanzhen will become the first economic town in Yancheng. If we don't do well, we will both have to go home to grow sweet potatoes."

Lu Changfeng was a little hesitant. In fact, he was just reporting on Wu Ren and casually mentioned what Yi Anan had said to him about developing the private economy. He didn't expect that Mayor Quan actually took it seriously and even wanted to engage in private economy with him. This is the tail of capitalism. If he can't do it well, he really has to go home and grow sweet potatoes!

"Don't be in a hurry. I know it's difficult for you to make a decision. Think about it first!" Mayor Quan said.

Lu Changfeng nodded.

As soon as Lu Changfeng returned, the town government office issued an official document, transferring Lu Changfeng to a position in the office, in charge of Yancheng's economy and health.

When this document came, everyone was shocked.

After all, this area was previously the responsibility of Wu Ren. I don't know why the new mayor suddenly appointed Lu Changfeng, who had just arrived. In this way, Lu Changfeng completely became a member of the mayor's camp.

Lu Changfeng was in deep thought for the whole morning, and at noon, he went to find Yi Anan.

Yi Anan is very happy today. Her math test score is good and has been steadily improving. If she can improve it by another ten points, it won't be a problem for her to apply for an unpopular major at Yancheng University.

When Yi An'an came out, she saw Lu Changfeng standing at the school gate pushing his bicycle. He seemed to be worried about something. She walked in front of Lu Changfeng but he didn't notice.

"Lu Changfeng, what happened?" Yi Anan asked.

Lu Changfeng came back to his senses at this time. He looked around and invited Yi Anan to eat wontons, and mentioned Yi Anan's transfer to another position.

"I didn't expect that Mayor Quan has such advanced ideas. With him around, our town's economy will definitely take off!" Yi Anan said.

This was the spring of 1977 and 1988, and the state council would issue a document in December to encourage the private economy. So it was rare for Mayor Quan, a veteran in the system, to have such advanced ideas.

"The mayor has been promoted to be in charge of economy and health. I know he wants me to stand with him, but I still have some concerns. The turmoil during those years is engraved in our bones, and everyone is afraid. Now all the storefronts you can see on the street are state-owned, even this wonton shop is owned by a state-owned restaurant. Do you think the private economy can really develop?" Lu Changfeng asked.

"So how do you think these wontons taste?" Yi Anan asked.

Lu Changfeng shook his head. "It tastes terrible, too woody, without any oil, and expensive!"

Yi Anan lowered her voice and said, "Besides, the service attitude is very bad. The boss just had a fight with someone!"

Lu Changfeng nodded: "That's right, if it wasn't for the lack of time at noon, I would like to cook for you.

"No need for that. Time is tight at noon, so just eat something casually!" Yi Anan said, "If the private economy had developed at that time, there would be competition, and everyone would have choices. People who opened shops would make money, and people who spent money would be happy. The money would flow, and the economy would flow, and things would get better and better!"

Lu Changfeng hesitated for a moment, but he listened to Yi Anan's words. Perhaps he could really consider the mayor's suggestion.

"Yes, Chief Ning asked you to go to the Public Security Bureau. I'll go after I finish eating!" Yi Anan said after finishing the wonton soup.

"I'll go with you. Maybe I need to deal with what happened last night." Lu Changfeng said.

Yi Anan waved her hand: "No need, you just took office, try not to ask for leave, if there is a problem that cannot be solved, I will call you later!"

Lu Changfeng could respond.

In the afternoon, Yi Anan went to the Public Security Bureau, but was told that Yi Jixiang did not plead guilty.

"There are witnesses and evidences. If she doesn't want to admit it, then she doesn't have to?" Yi An'an frowned and looked at Director Ning.

"There is physical evidence, but the witness..." Director Ning was a little embarrassed. Qi Yubao had a special identity and was still in the latent stage. He was ordered to protect Yi Anan and could not come forward to testify.

Moreover, this morning, important figures from the provincial capital came forward to escort Yi An out safely.

"Does your family have anyone in the provincial capital?" asked Director Ning.
