Chapter 20: Being a nephew is too difficult

Chapter 20: Being a nephew is too difficult
This is the first time Jiang Ning has come to the government since he was a child.

It was also the first time I met the local officials.

When the officials met him, their first impression was that he was unreliable.

It's nothing, he's too young, he hasn't even got a hair on his face, and he didn't even have a driver. He drove here by himself. He's so rich that he can't even afford a driver, so how can people not be suspicious? Fortunately, these are just some subjective impressions.

The local officials are very friendly. The young people in Bei'an are willing to contribute to the construction and development of their hometown, and they have the ability to invest tens of millions of yuan in large projects. They are truly outstanding young people. The local officials are of course very happy. If there were more such outstanding young people in Bei'an, it would not be criticized as a backward example at the city's commendation conference every year.

The county's first meeting also lacked substance.

Just meet and have a chat to confirm the investment intention.

Officials always have to listen to what investors say.

Jiang Ning did as Shen Liming said, boasted a lot and put forward some requirements, such as 5,000 acres of land, water, electricity and other infrastructure. In short, he just asked for a sky-high price and bargained.

The leaders just listen, of course it is impossible for them to express their opinions now.

After the talks, we went directly to the local area for inspection.

There are many wastelands in Bei'an, and Jiang Ning needs to take a look to find out which one is more suitable.

The distance, whether the terrain is flat, etc. all need to be considered comprehensively.

Jiang Ning did not drive, but took a minibus with his parents.

The secretary notified in advance so that all towns and villages could make preparations.

……

Guo Youping was doing some work in the county today and didn't want to go back home after finishing his work.

The New Year is coming soon, so I have to put many things aside for the time being.

I was in a rare good mood, so I went to my parents' house to see my little daughter.

It is very rare for a man to have a daughter in middle age, who is only three years old.

I was playing with my daughter when I suddenly received a call from the big boss's secretary.

I picked up the phone casually: "Hello, Director Li."

Secretary Li said, "Hello, Boss Guo. The big boss is accompanying foreign businessmen to inspect the townships. Zhangqiao should be prepared for the reception."

Guo Youping said ok, hung up the phone and quickly called the driver.

Then he put on his shoes, went downstairs and headed to the village.

It was a rare opportunity to relax, but it was disrupted by an unexpected event.

It's really a bit helpless.

But the big boss is accompanying foreign businessmen on an inspection trip, so how can he, the top leader, be absent from the scene?

Zhangqiao is a bit far from the county seat, more than 40 kilometers away.

It took us half an hour to reach the village. We made a phone call on the way. The preparatory work had already started. Those who needed to shovel snow were shoveling snow, and those who needed to sweep leaves were sweeping leaves. They were all experts in their work. Although they were busy, there was no chaos, and the meeting room was also ready.

The tea leaves are already in the cup, waiting to be brewed with boiling water.

The chairs were also placed in place, without any flaws.

Guo Youping checked it and then sat in the office with several deputies waiting.

By the way, exchange information and find out about the foreign businessmen.

"He's a local, and he's quite young."

"Only in his twenties."

“Invest in agriculture.”

"Invest 50 million..."

It's no secret, just make a phone call and you'll find out.

Guo Youping and several of his deputies were surprised. A man in his twenties was so capable. It was not uncommon in developed areas in the south, but where did such an awesome young man come from in Bei'an? They were all very curious and waited until noon but no one showed up.

I called and asked, and found out they were having dinner at Wangdun!
I waited until almost 3:30 in the afternoon when the boss's secretary called.

Now let’s go to Xiaozhaizi, the next stop is Zhangqiao.

Guo Youping hurriedly took his deputy and went to the township boundary to wait.

It's freezing cold, especially in the countryside.

I stood outside for a while and my hands and feet were numb from the cold.

Just get in the car and wait, and the wait lasts for an hour.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, the driver suddenly said, "Here we go."

Guo Youping looked up and saw a minibus appearing in the distance.

He got off the car immediately and walked to the front.

Except for the driver, everyone else got off.

As the minibus approached, everyone stood up straight.

Soon, a minibus drove over and stopped, and a group of people got off.

Guo Youping and others were standing at the door of the car. They had just greeted the big boss who got off the car when they saw Jiang Ning who also got off the car. They were immediately surprised and thought they had seen it wrong. They were a little hesitant to recognize him, after all, they hadn't seen each other for six years.

The last time we met was during the Chinese New Year 15.

Jiang Ning six years ago was really young and green.

A lot has changed over the years.

Even if the appearance has not changed much, the temperament is different.

Jiang Ning had been back for more than two months, and this was the first time he saw his second cousin. He hadn't changed much, except that he was fatter and older than before. After all, he was in his forties. He took the initiative to greet him, "Brother!"

Guo Youping was sure that he had not recognized the wrong person, and calmed himself down: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I'll go down with my leader to check out the land."

As the person who introduced the project, Shen Liming also accompanied them to inspect. As a deputy director, he was too weak and too far away from the county. He usually had no chance to follow the big boss to inspect. This time, he took advantage of Jiang Ning. Seeing that Guo Youping was a little confused, he said, "Mr. Jiang is the investor of this agricultural project."

Guo Youping was stunned and speechless.

The parents didn't blame him when they arrived, and they had no intention of stopping the car. But Jiang Ning knew that he might run into his second cousin on the way to Zhangqiao, and it was impossible for him to pretend not to know him, let alone talk about it after they met. So he told him about their relationship in the car.

That's why I stopped the car to say hello.

After chatting for a few minutes, we got back in the car and set off.

Guo Youping also boarded the minibus and introduced the situation in Zhangqiao.

After about twenty minutes, the car stopped at Dayukou.

Everyone got off the car and stood on a high place to watch. Zhangqiao is at the easternmost part of Bei'an. The green west side is grassland, and the yellow east side is Gobi Desert. The terrain is mainly hills and plains. The conditions are a bit bad. The grassland is okay, but it is very difficult to develop.

The local official gave a few words of introduction, but there was really nothing interesting to see.

After taking a turn, he got in the car and left.

Guo Youping did not follow and got on the car and returned to the village.

As I pondered over it all the way, I still found it incredible.

The investor this time turned out to be my uncle’s son.

I was too busy at the beginning and end of the year and never saw him. I only heard that he seemed to have made a fortune and bought a 570. I thought he had at most tens of millions, but I didn't expect him to invest tens of millions. I haven't heard about it from my family either. It was a real mistake.

I hadn't heard any news about it before.

I went back to the office and sat for a while.

Guo Youping called Jiang Youxin and asked, "Is my uncle busy?"

Jiang Youxin said, "I'm cooking. What's up?"

Guo Youping said, "Uncle, I want to ask you something. Did you know that Jiang Ning invested tens of millions in agriculture?"

Jiang Youxin said, "I heard him say that, but I don't think it's very reliable. If I put that much money in the bank and earn interest, it would be enough to spend in my lifetime. Why would I bother with that? But Jiang Ning has been disobedient since he was young, and I can't control him. He can do whatever he wants."

Guo Youping asked a few questions and made a few more calls after the call ended.

Get first-hand information.

The project was introduced by Shen Liming of the park, and he is not very familiar with it.

He was promoted last year, and I have only met him a few times.
However, the deputy position in the park is nothing, just a small transparent person.

If we introduce such a large project ourselves, we can complete the task in two years.

Do we still need to treat people to food, drinks and singing until the end of the year in order to complete the task?
We got away with it last year, but the leaders are not stupid and they know the situation clearly!
Having gone through this, how could you not know what’s going on?
What will our leaders think if we fail to complete it this year?
Guo Youping thought for a while and felt a little restless.

I went out, called the driver, and returned to the county town.

I called my wife on the way and told her to have dinner at home in the evening.

Su Hongyan was still surprised. Did the sun rise from the west today?
How long has it been since I went home for dinner?

No matter how surprised you are, you still have to get ready quickly.

The house was quiet and lonely, and my daughter lived with her grandparents.

My son is in his third year of high school and hasn’t had his holiday yet. He will only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year.

After Guo Youping returned home, he was not in a hurry to talk about the matter.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, I suddenly wanted to turn on the TV.

After struggling for a long time, I still couldn't turn it on. The TV was hanging on the wall, and I couldn't find the physical switch. I pressed the remote control for a long time but it didn't turn on. I suddenly felt like I was left behind by the times. I couldn't even turn on the TV...

We didn't go to the restaurant until dinner was ready.

Su Hongyan asked: "Do you have anything to do today?"

Guo Youping didn't say anything, but asked, "How did Jiang Ning talk to that female teacher in your school?"

Su Hongyan lost her temper and said, "I haven't asked either. It seems they are still discussing it."

Guo Youping said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Su Hongyan didn't want to say that she was slapped in the face, so she said, "It's okay."

Guo Youping felt that he was embarrassed by what happened last time, so he didn't want to talk about it, and said, "Let's go to my uncle's house after dinner."

Su Hongyan asked: "Why are you going to my uncle's house?"

Guo Youping said: "Let's go and see my uncle and aunt!"

Su Hongyan was surprised: "Why are you visiting my uncle during such a special time of year?"

Guo Youping said, "My uncle's youngest son has made great progress. He wants to invest tens of millions to start a big project. This year, the big boss accompanied Jiang Ning to the townships for inspection. I didn't hear any news. Did you hear any news?"

Su Hongyan was quite surprised: "There is such a thing? I haven't heard of it either."

Guo Youping didn't say anything and took a bite of the food.

Su Hongyan was not calm: "Where did Jiang Ning get so much money? What kind of project did he invest tens of millions of dollars on?"

Guo Youping said: "Agricultural project, how much money did Jiang Ning have?"

Su Hongyan said, "How can I ask? He can't tell me how much money he has. I did ask Feng Yu before, but Feng Yu was very tight-lipped. I thought he only had a few million. How much money does he have?"

Guo Youping didn’t know. If he had known, he wouldn’t have been so passive.

After dinner, it was already dark.

The two went downstairs and went to the Jixiang community.

When I arrived at Building No. 6, I called and asked first.

There were no outsiders at home, and Jiang Ning was not there either.

I got out of the car, grabbed some cigarettes and some alcohol, and was about to go upstairs when a Land Rover drove up and parked next to me.

The window of the cab was lowered, and Jiang Wei was very surprised: "Brother, sister-in-law."

Guo Youping: “…”

Su Hongyan responded and said, "Jiang Wei, I haven't seen you for a while."

Jiang Wei responded and asked, "Brother and sister-in-law, are you going to Uncle San's house?"

Guo Youping said, "Go check on my uncle. Is my second uncle doing well?"

Jiang Wei said, "It's fine. You can't park here, I'll park first and come over."

Guo Youping said: "Just go and do your own thing and don't worry about us!"

Jiang Wei agreed and drove away.

Guo Youping carried the wine and Su Hongyan carried two packs of cigarettes.

The two hurried upstairs, fearing that they would run into their relatives again.

The three uncles all live in the same community, and the two of them came at night specifically because they didn’t want to run into other relatives.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei saw it again.

It's really a bad year.

I've had really bad luck recently.

It would be fine if no one saw it, but now that I've run into Jiang Wei, after seeing my younger uncle, I wonder if I should go see my second uncle. After seeing my second uncle, I wonder if I should go see my eldest uncle. It's hard to have so many uncles. Guo Youping feels that being a nephew is too difficult.
