Shannan County, west of Kaoshan Town, on a low hillside at the junction with Pingyang City.
There is lush greenery here, and a man-made stone path winds its way to the top of the mountain.
The pitch-black fence wall, as sharp as iron spears, encloses the flat top of the mountain, forming a spacious courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there stands a huge archway several meters high, with four large gold-painted characters inscribed on it - Yumeng Villa.
Inside the villa, there are pavilions, waterside pavilions, and huge garden-style buildings. Being in it makes people feel like traveling through time and space to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River...
Zhao Chengqiang was sitting in the main room, wearing a neat suit and sipping tea leisurely. A waiter in vermilion ancient costume was standing beside the tea table, serving him attentively.
There was also a young man with a flat head and wearing a black suit. He was sitting on the sofa opposite Zhao Chengqiang, with his legs crossed and his feet swinging, looking aimlessly outside the room, looking a little bored.
After a moment, Zhao Chengqiang put down the jade-like tea bowl in his hand, looked at the dazzling diamond watch on his wrist, and his face unconsciously became gloomy. He muttered to himself, "County Magistrate Wu and County Magistrate Weihua just called and said they would be here soon. It's been another half an hour. Why haven't they arrived yet?"
The flat-headed man on the sofa heard Zhao Chengqiang talking to himself, smiled and said, "Brother, if you make another phone call and ask, you will know where they are."
Zhao Chengqiang raised his eyes and glared at the flat-headed man, saying unhappily, "Get lost, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Even after being scolded, the flat-headed man was not angry. He seemed to be used to it and smiled shamelessly, "Hey, I just said it casually. I dare not teach you how to do things."
The flat-headed man scratched his head and smiled, then lowered his head and stopped talking, as if he was afraid that saying one more word would anger Zhao Chengqiang again.
Zhao Chengqiang took out his cell phone and called Wu Aiguo. When the call was connected, he smiled and asked, "County Magistrate Wu, where are you and County Magistrate Weihua? Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?... Hehe, the dishes have been on the table for a long time. They won't taste good if they get cold... Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go down the mountain to pick you up..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chengqiang shouted to the flat-headed man on the sofa, "Xiaolong, County Magistrate Wu and his men have arrived at the foot of the mountain. Go to the door to greet them now."
Ma Xiaolong stood up, straightened his suit, smiled at Zhao Chengqiang, and said, "Okay, I'll go pick up the two county leaders right away."
Wu Aiguo and Jiang Weihua arrived at the foot of "Yunmeng Villa" in a black SUV.
The two got out of the car, looked up along the winding stone road towards the top of the mountain, and there was no end in sight.
Wu Aiguo said with emotion, "Oh, Boss Zhao has really made a fortune in the past two years. Look, he turned this small hill into a six-star tourist attraction... How much money must this cost!"
Seeing Wu Aiguo's inexperienced look, Jiang Weihua chuckled and said, "County Magistrate Wu, this is not your first time here. You can't be so emotional every time, right? In my eyes, even if Zhao Chengqiang holds this mountain with gold, it's still just a place to eat, drink, and have fun. There's nothing special about it."
Listening to Jiang Weihua's heroic words, Wu Aiguo smiled without saying anything. He raised his legs and walked up the mountain along the stone road.
As he walked, he secretly laughed in his heart, "Jiang Weihua, you are so great. You come to Yunmeng Villa as casually as if you were at home. How dare I, Wu Aiguo, compare with you? I come here two or three times a month, and I always feel nervous...
Seeing that Wu Aiguo only smiled but didn't say anything, Jiang Weihua followed behind him and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Wu, I think you are too cautious sometimes. There have never been outsiders in Yunmeng Villa. We eat, drink and play inside. No one can see us or catch us. You should come boldly in the future... Don't worry that Boss Zhao won't entertain you if you come too often. Don't worry, even if he has ten thousand guts, he won't dare to do it! If you come every day, he will have to welcome you and send you off every day!"
Wu Aiguo firmly believed in this. Even if Zhao Chengqiang had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to be disrespectful to him, Wu Aiguo!
Because the land occupied by Yunmeng Villa was originally approved by Wu Aiguo... In other words, without the support of Wu Aiguo, Yunmeng Villa could not be built at all. Just to change the nature of the land, Zhao Chengqiang would not be able to get it done even if he ran around the provincial government!
Wu Aiguo turned around and smiled at Jiang Weihua, saying, "Weihua, don't call me the county magistrate here anymore. You can call me Wu Ge or Guo Ge, but don't mention the official title."
Jiang Weihua smiled and nodded, "Hahaha, okay, okay, you are my brother. I will remember that you will always be my brother, no matter where you go."
The reason why Wu Aiguo asked Jiang Weihua not to call him by his official title was not to be low-key, but to get rid of the psychological burden.
He knew that he came to Yunmeng Villa for fun. Here he didn't need to pretend, be tense, or act polite. He could play however he wanted. But when he heard someone calling him the county magistrate, it was like a wake-up call, and he instantly woke up. He felt guilty and went crazy and collapsed in the constant self-questioning. I am the deputy county magistrate of the government. What am I doing? I am the parent official of the people. How could I be so depraved? ...
Therefore, in Yunmeng Villa, he didn't want to hear the word "county magistrate", let alone be called the county magistrate. Here, he just wanted to be an ordinary person, an ordinary person who liked to pursue low-level interests...
"Oh, by the way, Boss Zhao told me that he has taken a fancy to a piece of land in the county town and wants us to help him operate it to see if we can get it at a low price. After that... you know what will happen."
Jiang Weihua mentioned it seemingly casually, but he had actually been thinking about it for a long time. Now that there was no one around, it was a good time to discuss this matter in private.
