At nine o'clock in the night, Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu rushed back to Huilong Town overnight. It was more than 30 kilometers from the county town to the town. It took half an hour to drive. The road was too bad and the BMW off-road vehicle couldn't run.

Lin Xiaohu didn't drink alcohol at night and drove steadily.

Yao Yuan recalled some of the situations about Zhong Guangda that Lin Xiaohu had investigated indirectly. He lit a cigarette, put down the car window, and blew the hot wind, and said slowly, "Zhong Guangda has been the director of the county transportation bureau for nearly ten months. Judging from the previous situation, he wanted to do practical things, but he has never been able to open up the situation. To put it bluntly, he, the director, has been almost wiped out."

As he said that, he handed a cigarette to Lin Xiaohu and helped him light it. Lin Xiaohu drove with one hand, put his arm on the car door with his left hand in his arms, and sniffed, saying, "These deputy directors are all local cadres, and the Transportation Bureau is in charge of all friends. Director Zhong's life is not easy."

"Transportation is a big problem, it depends on whether the fellow villager has courage." Yao Yuan had no good idea, and Zhong Guangda always had to do it himself.

Lin Xiaohu said, "If the county directly asks to transfer the money to the county's financial account, will we really take it?"

"This is a bad strategy. You have to think of a solution. You will be punished by a senior official and you will be killed by the first level of your life." Yao Yuan said helplessly.

Lin Xiaohu said, "I have an idea."

“Tell me.”

Lin Xiaohu thought about it and said, "The town government and the tea master beverage company set up a temporary agency such as an engineering budget group to take over the project funds. The leading group will directly settle the work fee with the construction team, material suppliers, etc. according to the progress. The labor fee can be settled by the town and migrant workers. With enterprises as the leader, the town government plays an auxiliary role, but in fact, you are the one who decides it."

Yao Yuan's eyes lit up, "Xiaohu, you can, this method is good."

"But if he wants to convince Mayor Xu, it will be difficult to deal with if he doesn't agree. Mao Feng and Jin Zun will definitely be fine." Lin Xiaohu said.

"I talk to Mayor Xu, he should agree." Yao Yuan took a sip of cigarettes and said, "Do you think Mao Feng and Jin Zun are so easy to talk to? They almost agreed to whatever we say. Look back and check to see if they have anything to do with us, whether they are affiliated companies or partners of grassroots companies."

You just thought of it!

Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "I have checked it a long time ago. Behind Mao Feng and Jin Zun is Southeast Industrial. Qi Junting helped them solve the problem of capital in expanding their operations. They went to Huilong Town to invest. Otherwise, you think it would be so easy to attract investment. Huilong Town has not done this for so many years, but they all failed in the end."

"I knew it!" Yao Yuan sighed, "I thought it was because of my personal charm and Huilong Town's generous investment environment."

Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "I knew you would be lost, but from another perspective, the tentacles of the companies belonging to Chunfeng Group are spread all over the country. I don't think it's realistic if you deliberately don't look for your own company."

"It's very entangled. On the one hand, I want to prove my true abilities, and I don't want to rely on my previous achievements to set off my current efforts. On the other hand, I'm eager to change the backward economic situation in the mountainous areas, alas."

Yao Yuan shook his head slowly and said, waved his hand, "By the way, what company is Southeast Industrial? Who is Qi Junting?"

Lin Xiaohu was speechless.

It is not a good thing to be too big. As a big boss, I can't figure out how many companies there are under my command and what the company is called.

"The second-level company is a joint venture controlled by Yuanda Group. It started to make shoes, hats, clothes, etc., but now it seems to have developed diversified. Qi Junting... seems to be one of the shareholders." Lin Xiaohu said, "The asset scale is not very large, it should be more than ten or twenty billion, but for Mao Feng and the others, it is a huge thing. I know so much."

Lin Xiaohu didn't know much, because there were too many subordinate companies, so he could only cram and learn about it temporarily.

Yao Yuan sighed again, speechless.

He drove to the section of the road where the shop was behind the village, turned a corner, swept across the headlights, and suddenly saw a figure. Lin Xiaohu subconsciously stepped on the brakes. The man raised his hand and blocked his eyes and looked here. It turned out to be a girl.

How come there are girls wandering around the road at this night?

Carrying a schoolbag, she looks like a student.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and pushed open the car door and got out of the car at the same time. The advantage of doing this is that if you encounter an ambush, it will be two targets for the other party. If the other party cannot determine which ambush target, you can gain some time to avoid being defeated by each one.

Lin Xiaohu touched the pistol of the fast gun holster on his waist and glanced vigilantly around. Not only did he learn guard skills from Jiang Yong, but he received more than a month of targeted training in the Public Security Department before following Yao Yuan to work in the government agency.

There is obviously no need to worry about safety issues. Less than twenty seconds after their car stopped, another BMW off-road vehicle that was exactly the same stopped behind. It was a guard squad led by Chen Chao. As long as Yao Yuan went out, they were secretly guarding.

However, they were obviously too careful.

There was no one else, only the girl with a ponytail who was about fourteen or fifteen years old in front of the car with a schoolbag.

Yao Yuan looked at the ponytail girl, frowned with his hands behind his back, "Little girl, where are you going to at night? Which school are you from?"

The abducted case of Liu Chunju just happened, and Yao Yuan attached great importance to this issue.

The ponytail was brave, facing Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu, his fists were clenched tightly, and he looked at Yao Yuan without fear, and said disdainfully, "Who are you? Do you care which school I am from!"

Yao Yuan looked surprised and looked at the little girl carefully. He looked familiar. He found that he was still a beautiful woman, tall and handsome, well-developed, a bit like Chen Farong, but his temper was quite good.

"I am Yao Yuan, deputy mayor of Huilong Town. Are you from Huilong Town? Are you going home?" Yao Yuan asked again.

The ponytail girl was stunned and looked at Yao Yuan up and down, "Are you Yao Yuan? Are you fake?"

Yao Yuan became more and more strange and asked with a smile, "Do you know me? How could you think I am a fake?"

Lin Xiaohu suddenly said, "You are Long Wu, are you?"

The ponytail girl was even more stunned and looked at Lin Xiaohu, "Do you know me?"

Lin Xiaohu and Yao Yuan looked at each other, and Yao Yuan was immediately happy. He also realized that the little girl in front of him was undoubtedly Long Wu, the youngest of the Long family. No wonder she looked so familiar.

"You and your second and fourth brothers look very similar, just like your mother." Yao Yuan smiled.

Yao Yuan has been to the Long family more than once. Long Dad is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, among men, Long Mom is 1.6 meters tall, among women, Long Family has five children, the eldest and third brother follow their father, not tall, but solid, second, fourth, and fifth brother follow their mother, all are tall, with the highest character of the Dragon, which is 1.8 meters tall.

The youngest in the Long family is at least 1.7 meters tall, much higher than her mother. She may even be able to take off her head when she is in junior high school.

In Dalong Village, the Long family has relatively good economic conditions and a large number of labor force, otherwise they would not be able to pay a family planning fine.

Yao Yuan said, "Get in the car, we'll take you back."

Long Wu hesitated.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Why, don't you believe I am Yao Yuan? Yes, keep this vigilant in the future, but now you have to get in the car, I'll take you to the police station. Your fourth brother is on duty at the police station and asks him to take you back."

Now is not the time to ask why Long Wu hiked back to Long Town.

The other party knew that his fourth brother was working in the police station. It seemed that it was Yao Yuan. Long Wu thought about this clearly and smiled suddenly and said, "You are Yao Yuan. I heard from the second brother and fourth brother that there is a deputy mayor named Yao Yuan. He was very young. I didn't expect that he was so young. Did you start working after graduating from high school?"

This girl is still very familiar with herself and very brave.

She obviously had never taken a car before and didn't know how the door was opened. Yao Yuan opened the car door for her, and she stepped on her legs and got into the car, knocking her head, which made Yao Yuan laugh.

On the way again, Yao Yuan said, "I thought the people of the town knew that a college student cadre came to the town."

"Yes, yes, you are a college student, I remember it, but you look so young." Long Wu said like a cannon.

Yao Yuan, who was in the passenger seat, looked back and saw Long Wu's eyes flashing in the darkness, and he sighed in his heart, youth is so good.

Long Wu grabbed the driver's seat and the passenger seat with his two hands, and his head stretched out from the middle. He looked at the center console curiously, then looked at the road in front of him with headlights, and said, "Mayor Yao, how old are you this year? I heard that you are only twenty years old and are the baby mayor."

Yao Yuan was happy and said, "Baby Town Mayor, I'm saying that I'm not doing anything bad, I'm a job after graduating from college, so what do you think?"

Long Wu really calculated by his fingers and said, "You go to the first grade of elementary school at the age of six, and you go to the first grade of elementary school for six years, and you go to college for six years, and you are twenty-two years old, and you are very young too!"

"I am the same age as your third brother. Your third brother's son is three years old, so I am not young anymore." Yao Yuan smiled.

Long Wu snorted and said, "Now people advocate late marriage and late childbirth. The third brother is really like that. Why do you do if you get married so early? The law stipulates that the age of men's marriage is twenty-two years old."

Rural people get married early, and there are many people who get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It is just that because they work in the fields all year round, many people look older.

Yao Yuan was quite surprised, "You still understand the method, it's good."

"I'm in the second semester of junior high school, and I'll take the high school entrance exam soon." Long Wu said proudly, suddenly thinking that the young deputy mayor was a college student, and he shrank his head, "But I can't compare to you, you are a college student."

Yao Yuan laughed loudly, thinking that the little girl looked cute as an adult.

If a person's first twenty years are divided into flower season and rainy season, then the junior high school stage is the flower season, which is truly carefree. When the love is just beginning, I start to look forward to love and the future. When I reach high school, as the college entrance examination approaches, the pressure becomes greater and greater. Because the physical development enters a critical period, the body and mind are affected. As the knowledge grows, there are more sorrow and more pain.

People born in the 1980s need to experience more in the first thirty years of their lives, and they are often change, education reform, medical reform, and system reform, which affect the lives of people born in the 1980s.

When they were in school, education was facing industrialization, and the high tuition fees overwhelmed the family. After ten years of hard work, the country no longer allocated work and independent career choice became the keyword of news. At this time, nine years of compulsory education finally began to be tuition-free, but they missed this benefit.

Finally, I gained a foothold in society. When it was time to get married and have children, I ran into the hottest time of the real estate market. I was discouraged by the high housing prices and exhausted the savings of two generations. I finally had a place to live in the city and was immediately facing the burden of raising children.

So they became more and more taciturn and more cautious in dealing with people and things. They locked the love letters of the past tightly, buried their first love carved into their bones deep in their hearts, and worked silently like an old ox.

As the saying goes, these people have not died yet, but have just taken on the burden of society in silence.

Born in the 1970s, Yao Yuan chatted with people of the age of Long Wu for the first time. From her, she saw the optimism of people born in the 1980s, and also reminded of the cruel reality they will face in the future, and she sighed.

In a period of social change, no one can survive alone, and in the process of forming a new society, someone is destined to pay the price for it. The post-50s, 60s, and those who are separated from posts seem to be only those born in the 1970s by chance, but looking at this history, who can say that the post-70s are lucky?

What to do and what to do is what Yao Yuan thought after entering politics, and the sense of urgency became stronger and stronger.

After the chat started, he was almost in the town. Yao Yuan suddenly asked, "Xiao Wu, why are you running home at this time? Today is not Friday."

I arrived at school on Sunday afternoon and returned home after class on Friday afternoon. It was a constant life for the children of towns who were studying in the county middle school.

Long Wu curled his lips and whispered, "If you want to go back, just go back."

Intuition tells Yao Yuan that this little girl must be in trouble.

"Is there anything wrong? Tell me, I can help?" Yao Yuan said.

Long Wu snorted, "No one can help me with the relationship. Oh, don't ask, why is the mayor more troublesome than our Xiuhua?"

Lin Xiaohu couldn't help laughing. No woman dared to talk to Yao Yuan like this.

"You are trying to tell me that I'm gossiping, right? OK, then I won't ask you. I'll ask your fourth brother to ask you. If necessary, your second brother will be in the new school shed." Yao Yuan said.

Long Wu suddenly became anxious, "No, don't, don't tell the second brother, Mayor Yao, listen to me, I'm fine, I just want to go home and have a look, don't tell my second brother if it's okay, we've been talking for so long, I feel very close to you, then we are friends, you can't betray my friends, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu couldn't help laughing. They were still young, but they tried their best to dress up as adults. This was probably youth.

"What are you laughing at all? What's so funny!" Long Wu frowned and gritted his silver teeth.

Yao Yuan put away his smile and said, "Since we are friends, should you tell your friends about the troubles you are facing? Friends, you should tell each other."

"A confidant is..."
