Director Luo sat down as he was told, and heard Huo Qianli smile and say, "Director Luo, are you familiar with that Mr. Qian?"
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Forget it, we've had some dealings before."
Huo Qianli smiled slightly, "So what kind of person do you think Mr. Qian is?"
Director Luo looked at Huo Qianli, as if he wanted to read something from his face, but Huo Qianli just smiled calmly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, as if he could see through his heart.
"This guy is not well educated and has a somewhat arrogant temper. He used to work outside, on a construction team. I heard from people in Hushan Village that they went to find Tieniu a few years ago, trying to get him and his son to work outside. But then, for some reason, Tieniu didn't go, and a year later, Qian came back and started taking on projects in the industrial park, and later he made a fortune."
Huo Qianli nodded and said, "Go on."
Director Luo thought for a moment and said, "We are a small place, and we have money, so we act more flamboyantly. Plus, there are many young people in the engineering company, and some things have happened in recent years, so the common people still have complaints. But he is said to be very good to his business partners and subordinates, and he is very generous."
"Well, anything else?"
Director Luo thought about it, was silent for a while, looked at Huo Qianli and shook his head, "No more."
"Okay!" Huo Qianli smiled, stood up and held out his hand, "Thank you for your hard work today."
"You're too polite, Secretary." Director Luo quickly stood up and shook hands with Huo Qianli, "Then I won't disturb the Secretary's work for now."
"Okay." Huo Qianli smiled and watched him go out.
After walking out of the office, Director Luo let out a long breath and felt a chill on his back.
In the office, Huo Qianli snorted softly.
.......
With the development of the economy, Qianfu Town is no longer the remote and backward place it once was.
With the increase in foreign population and young people, various nightlife activities have gradually become richer.
The days when there was only one barbecue restaurant in the whole town are gone forever. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the barbecue restaurant with the best business in the town is packed with people.
Shouts, laughter, and finger-guessing sounds rang out one after another.
There were four men sitting at a table in the booth.
Huo Qianli, Zhan Baoxing, Gu Chengde, and Zhan Baozhuang, also known as Tie Niu, sat around the table and happily raised their glasses.
Zhan Baoxing picked up a skewer of beef, pulled it off with his mouth, and chewed it with satisfaction. "Secretary Huo, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to come back!"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "This is a private occasion. I said I won't call you secretary. It's better to keep it the same as before!"
Gu Chengde smiled and peeled a boiled peanut. "Brother Huo, let me ask you a question. Did you have a hard time getting here from the province?"
Before Huo Qianli could speak, Zhan Baoxing pursed his lips and said, "Brother De, I tell you to read the news and newspapers more often every day. Brother Huo has been promoted! I heard from the officials that he is now deputy... what is deputy?"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Deputy Director."
"That's right, deputy director! Do you know that a high-ranking county official is only a director? Huo Shu...Brother is not even thirty years old!"
Gu Chengde grinned and relaxed a lot. "That's great! I was saying that people like Cadre Huo will definitely become high-ranking officials. How could it be possible that his promotion would not go smoothly?"
Huo Qianli laughed, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about the village. How has it been these years? I was busy with work before and didn't come back to visit."
Zhan Baoxing smiled and said, "It's very good. As you can see today, the roads have been repaired, factories have been built, housing has been solved, supermarkets have been built, tap water and natural gas have been built. Oh, life is very good!"
Gu Chengde opened his mouth and silently picked up the wine glass.
Tieniu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke in a muffled voice, "Baoxing, tell me honestly, is the village really developing well?"
Huo Qianli was startled, and Zhan Baoxing looked at Tieniu depressedly, "Tieniu, are you stubborn? Brother Huo just got here, and today is our first reunion in so many years. Do you have to say this?"
Gu Chengde sighed, "Baoxing is right."
Tie Niu's neck stiffened. "I don't know when it is or when it is not. I only know that Officer Huo is a good officer and has done a great favor to our Hushan Village. If he asks, we should tell the truth!"
This sentence choked Zhan Baoxing. He picked up the wine glass depressedly and said, "Speak, speak, speak, speak whatever you want to say!"
After saying that, he drank the beer in the glass and turned his head away.
"Don't!" Huo Qianli didn't expect that one sentence would cause so much trouble, and he quickly persuaded: "Brother Tieniu is right, I just want to hear the truth. If it's good, I'm happy for you, and if it's not good, I will help you improve. But..."
Huo Qianli paused, "Brother Baoxing has a point. We haven't seen each other for several years. We should talk about something happy today. It's my fault for starting this! Drink a glass as punishment!"
As he spoke, he picked up the glass and drank, and the other three quickly followed suit.
Huo Qianli looked at Tieniu, "Brother Tieniu, let's talk alone in a few days. Brother Baoxing and Brother De, Hushan Village is the core of the entire industrial park. The industrial park is directly related to the industrial development path of Qianfu Town and even Dongjiang County. I need to find out the bottom line before I know what to do next!"
Gu Chengde smiled slightly, "Just like when you first came here a few years ago, visiting every household?"
Huo Qianli laughed, "That's right!"
After a small incident, peace returned to the table.
Drinking beer in summer is comfortable, but it is also a real test for your kidneys.
