Chapter 1206 [Salt to the Wound] (Part 2)
In fact, the act of throwing salt on the wound is indeed unkind, but he unknowingly listed Xue Shilun as an opposing party. Be kind to the enemy is cruel to himself. The official has not yet become so ignorant.
The sadness that Xue Shilun revealed at this time was not a disguise. He suddenly felt lonely from the bottom of his heart. This feeling he had had before, and it was when he was forced to leave the country. At that time, he felt that he was suddenly abandoned by this world, and that feeling of confusion and helplessness made him feel in great pain. Xue Shilun didn't want to give this young man a chance to continue to stimulate himself. Although he had seen through Zhang Yang's intention and purpose, his strong heart still had weaknesses. People would have feelings. He always had true feelings for Zhang Bijun. Although this feeling was not enough to make him sacrifice everything, there was indeed a sincere part.
Xue Shilun whispered: "Zhang Yang, take me to see Ruirong."
Xue Shilun still remembers that the name Ruirong was named after him. This is his daughter of Zhang Bijun. Zhang Ruirong is still sleeping. Chang Lingfeng even hopes that this state will last longer. Only in this way can Zhang Ruirong escape the sadness of losing his closest relatives.
Xue Shilun looked beside the bed for a while, then left silently without saying a word.
Zhang Yang remembered the fact that he would invite Zhao Yongfu to the market tonight, and also said goodbye to Chang Lingfeng.
Chang Lingfeng sent him out and said softly: "Zhang Yang, when you look back and tell him when you see my elder brother, I won't go to see him today."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Cheng, please accompany Zhang Ruirong with peace of mind. I will explain to you by Secretary Chang."
Chang Lingfeng nodded and said, "I should be staying in Beigang for a while, so we have the opportunity to chat."
Zhang Yang patted his shoulder and said, "You should also pay more attention to your health."
Zhang Yang came to the city government and saw that Mayor Liao Bosheng had arrived. When Liao Bosheng saw Zhang Yang, he smiled and waved to him, "Zhang Yang, you are here!"
Official Zhang smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mayor Liao to take one step ahead of me."
Liao Bosheng said: "We are working tonight, of course we have to come here a little in advance and make proper arrangements."
Zhang Yang said: "If you have anything to do, just give me instructions."
Liao Bosheng said: "Just drink with the guests at night."
Zhang Daguanren thought to himself, I was afraid that Zhao Yongfu might not like him. Until now, Zhao Yongfu blamed himself for the death of his son Zhao Guoliang and had been resentful of himself. If Chang Lingkong had not specifically instructed him to attend the dinner today, he would definitely choose to avoid it.
While speaking, the Municipal Party Secretary Chang Lingkong also arrived, and the deputy mayor Zong Ye was accompanied by him. Now Zong Ye is responsible for the foreign trade investment work in Beigang. He is one of the first cadres to be reused after Chang Lingkong took office.
Chang Lingkong saw Zhang Yang and smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, you performed well today."
Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Chang, I have always performed very well."
Several people laughed, and Zhang Yang came to Chang Lingkong and whispered: "Ling Feng is here in Beigang, and he came with Zhang Ruirong."
Chang Lingkong complained: "This guy, when he has a fiancée, he threw me as his elder brother aside, and he didn't even call me one."
Zhang Yang said: "He was not here to visit relatives this time, but to attend the funeral. Zhang Ruirong's aunt died. It was the time when he needed his company and care the most. So he asked me to say hello to you first. After finishing his work, he will take the initiative to come to your door and apologize to you."
Chang Lingkong smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Since Ruirong's family has a funeral, it's still the main thing. By the way, who has passed away? My elder brother should also send a wreath."
Zhang Yang whispered: "Zhang Bijun, the head of the 10th Bureau of Guoan."
Chang Lingkong's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Although he was not clear about Guoan's internal affairs, he was quite shocked when he heard Zhang Bijun's identity. He had not heard any news until now. It was no wonder that, firstly, Guoan specially told Zhao Guoqiang to keep a secret of Zhang Bijun's murder. Secondly, Chang Lingkong has been too busy recently and cannot take care of everything.
Chang Lingkong wanted to inquire in detail, but at this time, Zhao Yongfu, the boss of Taihong Iron and Steel Group, came up with a move with his son Zhao Guoqiang.
Chang Lingkong led everyone forward to greet him. Zhao Yongfu had already enjoyed the treatment of a deputy provincial level, so Chang Lingkong did not surrender.
Zhao Yongfu got out of the car and saw such a big battle in Beigang City, his face was quite glorious. Anyone wanted to gain respect from others. The secretary and mayor of Beigang City Party Committee were all dispatched and lined up in front of the restaurant door to greet him. The others gave him enough face. On the way to come, Zhao Guoqiang had already told his father that Zhang Yang would attend the dinner, so Zhao Yongfu was not surprised. Although he did not like Zhang Yang in his heart, Zhao Yongfu still showed considerable demeanor in front of so many people.
Zhao Yongfu shook hands with them one by one, and when he shook hands with Chang Lingkong, Zhao Yongfu said, "Secretary Chang, we are all old friends. I am a little flattered when you set up such a great battle."
Chang Lingkong smiled and said, "We Chinese people pay attention to a politeness and many people are not blamed. Mr. Zhao is our old friend. Guoqiang is a member of the Standing Committee of Beigang. We can be said to be a close friend. You come to Beigang and you are at your own home."
Zhao Yongfu smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's so kind to come here."
When he shook hands, he smiled and patted Zhang Yang's back and said, "Zhang Yang, we almost became neighbors last time, but unfortunately you refused to give me the land of Lin Jiajiao."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, that matter is really not up to me. It was decided by Comrade Xiang Cheng. I am a small cadre in the coastal area and I have to obey the leader in everything." This guy is also bad enough. Anyway, Xiang Cheng is dead, so I can push him with all my responsibility.
Of course, Zhao Yongfu would not make a clear statement with him about this matter. He smiled slightly and walked into the restaurant with Chang Lingkong.
After the dinner started, Chang Lingkong gave a toast first, and he raised his glass and said, "Today, Mr. Zhao came to Beigang. Although Mr. Zhao's purpose was to visit his son, it was purely a private matter, I used that power to send a hard task to Comrade Guoqiang. I must invite Mr. Zhao to have a meal. First, I will recount the past old feelings. Second, I hope Mr. Zhao will judge the current situation of Beigang from the perspective of an onlooker, help us diagnose Beigang's pulse, see what is the shortcomings in Beigang, and we can correct it in time. Come on, let's have a drink together, welcome Mr. Zhao to Beigang."
Everyone responded together and drank the glass of wine. Zhao Yongfu smiled and picked up the glass of wine and said, "It's impolite to come but not to go. Everyone toast me with a glass of wine. I must give it back. Thank you for your enthusiasm in Beigang. Secretary Chang said that, I came to Beigang this time for my private matters. I will come to see my eldest son. I want to thank everyone for your enthusiasm in this glass of wine, and also for the help and cultivation of Guoqiang for several city leaders."
Everyone was polite, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more and more intense.
Chang Lingkong said: "Mr. Zhao, we have known each other for many years. You should have a little understanding of my temper and personality. You always say whatever you want to talk about. I don't like to beat around the bush. Actually, I have one more thing to discuss with you."
Zhao Yongfu smiled and said, "Before I came here, I thought about it for a long time. This meal is definitely not pure. It is soft-mouthed. If you make any requests, how should I deal with it! But after thinking about it, I still have to come. If I can't do it, I can't ask you back to the meal in the future." Zhao Yongfu was scheming and had already seen through Chang Lingkong's real purpose of treating him, so he left his way out for himself first.
Chang Lingkong laughed and said, "Then I'll say it clearly. Taihong visited Beigang for a while, but later because the land that Taihong was interested in conflict with the bonded area, the matter of setting up a branch was left unresolved. Because I had not come to Beigang to take charge of the work here at that time, I don't know much about the specific situation, but I always feel that many things can be adapted. Beigang's unique geographical conditions are the real reason why Taihong listed this place as the first choice for the construction of the branch. It was indeed a great regret that it was not reached for various reasons. I think if Taihong and Beigang could cooperate, it would definitely be a win-win result."
Zhao Yongfu said: "Some things depend on fate. At that time, Taihong and Beigang were ready, but the east wind was missing. Unfortunately, in the end..." He looked at Zhang Yang meaningfully and said: "Zhang Yang refused to borrow the east wind for me in the end!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yang, and Master Zhang laughed. Then the guy picked up the wine glass and came to Zhao Yongfu, and took the initiative to help Zhao Yongfu pick up the wine glass and put it in his hand: "Mr. Zhao, Guoqiang and I are good friends. On the official side, I call you Mr. Zhao. In private, I should call you Uncle Zhao." This guy seemed very modest and low-key. This is his cleverness. Zhao Yongfu obviously wanted to turn his gun to him. Master Zhang came to use softness to overcome hardness, which made you feel no focus.
Zhao Yongfu, of course, could not have shown that Zhao Yongfu could not have been too small in his performance. He smiled and said, "That's right, I didn't expect you and Guoqiang to become friends. After all, your personality contrast is too great." Zhao Yongfu added a suffix to the back, but in fact, it was not the reason he didn't expect.
Zhao Guoqiang sat aside with a little hot face. His father's words clearly showed a blaming himself. He understood why his father said this. Until now, his father attributed his brother's death to Zhang Yang. It was normal that his relationship with Zhang Yang made his father feel dissatisfied.
Zhang Yang accompanied Zhao Yongfu to drink this glass of wine, and then gave it to him again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, the last time Taihong set up a branch in Beigang, we did have some conflicts. Of course, these conflicts arose from official business and have nothing to do with personal feelings. After the matter has passed, I think the main responsibility for the reason why the cooperation was not successful at the beginning was me. I am now officially asking Mr. Zhao on behalf of Binhai. You might as well come to Binhai for another visit. There must be places suitable for opening factories in Binhai City."
