Chapter 294: Plum Garden Restaurant

As soon as Shao Zheng led the people away, Zhou Ming came over.

Seeing that Shao Zheng had taken away the migrant workers who gathered to cause trouble in the afternoon, Zhou Ming asked Su Kaiwen in confusion: "Let them go now. The responsibility for gathering people to disrupt social order will not be held accountable? If there are some small and small things that are big and small in the future, it will be difficult to do the job..."

Su Kaiwen whispered to the room, and Zhou Ming saw his father-in-law and Pan Shihua sitting inside, Huang Xinliang and Zhu Li standing inside with a thin, middle-aged man, all looking at him.

"Aren't you accompanying the negotiator of Fuji Ironmaking? Why haven't you returned to the city yet?" Xiong Wenbin coughed gently, waved to Zhou Ming in, and asked him why he was still in Meixi Town.

"In the afternoon, accompany Mr. Yamazaki and others to the scene to see the terrain. Mr. Yamazaki and others want to stay in Meixi Town for dinner in the evening. I just chose the place, so I wanted to come and see if the matter here has been handled. Please invite Secretary Pan, Chen Huai, and Kaiwen to have dinner together." Zhou Ming was not embarrassed, and greeted Huang Xinliang and Zhu Li, explained the reason he found at this time, and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Secretary Tan wants me to come and take a look." Xiong Wenbin said. At this point, it would be meaningless to blame Zhou Ming for coming over for having nothing to do.

"Where is the Chen Huai people?" Zhou Ming looked over and didn't see Chen Huai's figure, and asked strangely.

"The District Mayor Chen will drink wine for these five migrant workers to suppress their shock at night, and I am afraid that there is no time to accompany us." Pan Shihua's face had not yet recovered, but he just pretended to be calm and told Zhou Ming that it was Chen Huai who insisted on taking away the five migrant workers who had troubled everyone for the afternoon.

Zhou Ming shrugged, understanding why he had just asked why he didn't deal with the five migrant workers who gathered to make trouble, and why Su Kaiwen had that expression.

Everyone was picked up by Chen Huai's dispatch of Shao Zheng, and Pan Shihua didn't say much, looked at Xiong Wenbin and asked, "Will Secretary-General Xiong accompany him on Mr. Yamazaki?"

Xiong Wenbin was not easy to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't had a meal with him when I came to China this time."

Huang Xinliang, Zhu Li and Zhu Youcai said goodbye; before Zhu Youcai left, he still held Su Kaiwen and asked: "The debts from the forging factory, will I just ask Secretary Su to help you solve the problem tomorrow?"

Chen Huai kicked the ball into his arms naked. Zhu Youcai saw that the man looked honest, but he was sticking like a candy and refused to let go. Su Kaiwen's face looked ugly, but when he thought that this matter could not be solved well, Chen Huai might have been tying him as a braid. He thought that the city forging factory owed Zhu Youcai 200,000 yuan in project payment, which was not a big deal, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you come to the Municipal Party Committee Office to find me tomorrow, and I will help you coordinate again."

The matter here has come to an end for the time being. Xiong Wenbin called Tan Qiping to report the situation, and then talked about accompanying Fuji iron representatives for dinner, so he took a bus to Meixi Old Street.

The Zhuxi Bridge has not yet been opened to traffic, but the street lights on both sides of Zhuxi Avenue have been erected, and bright lights are emitted at night, shining on the newly paved asphalt road surface. There are still workers on both sides moving trees all night long.

Although the renovation project of Xuetang Street has not been fully launched, the area of ​​Xuetang Street, which is about 200 meters long from the Old Street Archway to the Meigang North Factory Gate, is first renovated with the Kusanzi River Bridge, Zhuyuan and Lao Street.

The courtyards in Zhuyuan Community still need to be decorated and more trees need to be transplanted, but the general scale has been taken. Small Western-style buildings with red bricks on the main body stand on the north side of Zhuxi Avenue, hidden among the trees, making people unable to imagine the once dilapidated and old land.

On the south and west side of the Kusanzi River Bridge, between Xuetang Street, Zhuxi Avenue, Zhuyuan and Kusanzi River, a green square is being built. There are already several parking spaces on the roadside that have been covered with lawn bricks. Xiong Wenbin and the others parked their cars here and walked through the Kusanzi River Bridge with stone railings on both sides.

Xiong Wenbin remembers passing by here before the autumn, and there was no bridge here.

When Meixi Town first built Xuetang Street, in order to save road construction costs, the Kusanzi River was cut off the filling and directly built the road. When he arrived in Chenhuai, he decided to build Zhuyuan Community, renovate the old street, and clean the Kusanzi River. Then, Xuetang Street was dug again, so that the river channel was connected to the Tongjiang River and the vertical river on the outside, and a new river bridge was built.

The old street is north of Kubanzihe Bridge, located on the north side of Xuetang Street. The stone archway left in the late Qing Dynasty has been renovated, and the entrance of the alley has also been newly paved with blue bricks.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, looking inside, the narrow alley, which is only seven or eight meters long, was newly paved with blue bricks. Workers erected cast iron lamp posts overnight. These lamp posts were erected in the alley, which directly restricted any vehicle from entering.

The old street renovation plan is engraved with a bronze plaque and erected under the stone plaque. From the schematic diagram, it can be seen that Meixi Town wants to transform the old street into a pedestrian street to restrict vehicle entry. Fire lanes are distributed on both sides of the old street, and wooden corridors are also needed to be built on the north bank of the Puffed River.

Xiong Wenbin and Pan Shihua were not in a hurry to enter the alley, but instead went over to study the planning map under the lamp. Only then did they know that the other end of the alley was Laohe Wharf. The Yanhe Road, which was built along the east bank of Meixi River, will pass under the Zhuxi Bridge, connecting Laojie and Laohe Wharf to Zhuxi Avenue.

"Mei Xi is really very tactful!" Pan Shihua said indescribable resentment.

Behind Xiong Wenbin, the old street and Xuetang Street were renovated, but from this small part, we can see the clues, and it is obvious that the Meixi Town Government’s starting point for the transformation of Xuetang Street and Old Street is very high, and it even exceeds the city’s investment in the renovation of the central block.

Before Yang Yuquan was transferred from Tangzha District, he passed a resolution to support the financial transfer of Meixi Town, which allowed Tangzha District's fiscal expenditure in the 1995 and 1996 to be transferred to Meixi Town. Although Pan Shihua served as the district party secretary and district mayor, his financial power was less than that of Shen Huai and He Qingshe. How could this make him feel balanced?

Although Meixi Town may occupy half of Tangzha District's financial resources to build towns in 1995 and 1996, this part of the financial resources is also a contribution made by Meixi Town itself. It cannot be said that Meixi Town has taken advantage of.

Xiong Wenbin, Pan Shihua and others walked into the old street under Zhou Ming's guidance.

The old street was renovated in August, and it has just begun to take shape. Only a few stores at the entrance of the alley have been refilled and opened for business; except for one hostel, these stores are all catering.

Xiong Wenbin, Pan Shihua, Su Kaiwen, Zhou Ming and others walked into the second restaurant called Meiyuan Restaurant at the entrance of the alley.

The interior walls of the restaurant are decorated with blue bricks, and the ground floor is not open. They climb up the steps from the dark red wooden stairs. The decoration style on the second floor is ancient and antique. It looks small and there are only a few private rooms around the atrium, but the style is good.

A beautiful woman came over, her smooth and tender face was not considered young, but she was quite charming. She stood by the railing with a smile on her face to greet them, looking like a hotel manager or some other staff member.

Xiong Wenbin didn't care about this woman in particular, but Pan Shihua looked at her repeatedly.

When he walked to the private room, he met with representatives from Fuji iron making such as Nobuo Yamazaki. The beautiful woman came here to organize napkins and dishes for Xiong Wenbin, Pan Shihua and Su Kaiwen.

When she left, Pan Shihua couldn't help but look at the woman's charming background and whispered to Zhou Ming sitting beside him: "She is the owner of this store?"

"Oh," Zhou Ming responded casually, "Yes, it's the owner of this store, his surname is He."

The representatives of Fuji iron made aside, while Xiong Wenbin and others sat on the other side, and their communication was mostly conducted through translation. After the greetings, they gathered together and talked a lot. After all, there were many inconveniences in communication through translation.

Xiong Wenbin saw that when he was chatting in private, he looked at this side more often and asked Xiao He, the translator of the city steel factory, in a low voice: "What are they talking about?"

He Haiyang, a translator sent by the Municipal Steel Plant and a member of the joint venture project preparation team, is an old employee who has entered the Municipal Steel Plant by Xiong Wenbin. He is also more casual in front of Xiong Wenbin.

At this time, when Xiong Wenbin asked about the content of the conversation between the Japanese representatives, He Haiyang looked at Zhou Ming awkwardly. Seeing that Zhou Ming had not noticed this at all, he suppressed his voice and explained to Xiong Wenbin: "They are very curious about why Secretary Shen didn't come here? They know that Secretary Shen personally climbed the tower crane to persuade the workers to come down. They seem to be looking forward to Secretary Shen being the general manager of the joint venture factory on behalf of the Chinese side..."

Xiong Wenbin knew that Shen Huai took advantage of the issue in Nanyuan last time, which made the representatives of Fuji Ironmaking have a very bad impression of him, but after many contacts, Fuji Ironmaking still had a rational understanding of Shen Huai's management and leadership ability.

Xiong Wenbin just nodded quietly, knowing that on the one hand, Shen Huai was unintentionally involved in the joint venture project, and on the other hand, Tan Qiping would not let Shen Huai intervene too much in the joint venture project. The two parties seemed to be competing on the joint venture project. Xiong Wenbin didn't know what the joint venture project could look like in Zhou Ming's hands.

******************

Shen Huai had dinner with five workers at Zhuxi Hotel, and asked the town government to send a van to take them directly to the station to take the bus.

Seeing the five workers leaving in tears, Shen Huai put his hands in his pockets of the coat.

Chen Dan came over, tidied up his collar, and asked, "Xiong Wenbin and the others are also having dinner in Meixi Town. Why don't you go over and greet him?"

"I won't go anymore, I have to go to the factory. How could there be so many socializing at the dinner table?" Shen Huai shook his head and said, "The factory wants to send employees to Birmingham to participate in equipment demolition, but only 30 people have signed visas. Zhao Dong went to Jiangning in the afternoon to run for this matter. I have to give him two training classes to the employees in the evening..."

Shen Huai and Chen Dan separated and took a bus to ask Shao Zheng to take him to the factory. He passed by the old street archway and looked at the entrance of the alley. He knew that Xiong Wenbin, Pan Shihua and the others had dinner with the representative of Fuji Ironmaking at He Yuelian's newly opened Meiyuan Restaurant.
