Chapter 38 It doesn’t look like acting
Chapter 38 It doesn’t look like acting
When Jiang Ning drove to the farm, Lao Yang's Passat had just arrived at the south gate.
They parked the car at the door and the two got out and bumped into each other.
Just wait at the South Gate and discuss how to deal with it later.
My cousin Zhang Yulong and the accountant also came and stood aside.
Yang Zhen was experienced and the arrangements were smooth. He even gave orders to the boss: "Call first and ask Boss Zhang to clean up what needs to be cleaned up. Make sure the site is not too messy. Stop illegal construction and illegal operations as soon as possible. Drive a bulldozer to the intersection of the villa and block it. Don't let the big boss see it first..."
Jiang Ning nodded and took out his cell phone to make a call.
There's nothing unpleasant about it.
It really is a relief to have such an experienced old comrade to take care of things.
Yang Zhen then told Zhang Yulong and the accountant, "Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu, you two don't have to follow for a while. When Boss Lu gets off the car and takes a look with General Manager Jiang, find a chance to put the things in the car. Be smart and don't make any mistakes."
The two nodded quickly.
Jiang Ning glanced at Zhang Yulong and felt a headache.
This cousin is so honest. I don’t know how his grandparents raised him.
How did you raise your grandson like this?
Honesty is an excellent quality.
But the problem is that honesty is not tolerated in today's society.
Apart from anything else, it’s difficult for a man who is too honest to find a wife.
It is obviously inappropriate to put this cousin in the office to do administrative work.
But it seems there is no other good place to go, so this is the only way for now.
Let Comrade Lao Yang guide him more, hopefully he can get it right!
Not long after, a Passat drove over.
Jiang Ning asked: "Is this the car?"
Yang Zhen said: "Yes, I heard that Boss Lu hates being surrounded by people when he goes to the grassroots level. He always comes with a small group of people when he goes to investigate, only bringing a secretary with him, and not allowing others to follow. It is still the young leaders who are courageous. I hope Boss Lu can bring some changes to Bei'an!"
Jiang Ning said: "It's best not to have any changes. It's good to be stable."
Yang Zhen said: "That's not the case. The government still needs some new atmosphere. Even if it's just some image projects, as long as it can benefit the people of Bei'an, it's better than doing nothing and leaving it stagnant."
Jiang Ning disagreed, but then he thought about it.
It seems reasonable.
Take the one-stop service for example. It is indeed much more convenient for ordinary people to get things done than before. This can be considered an image project, but the people have indeed benefited from it. It can be said to be an improvement. The old comrades are still very wise.
The perspective on the problem is also unique.
Without saying a few words, the Passat drove over and stopped.
A young man quickly got out of the passenger seat and tried to open the back door.
He is indeed a young man, and looks to be less than 30 years old.
He is about 28 or 29 years old.
But before he could open the door, the left rear door opened.
Lu Jingwei got out of the car by himself, looking energetic and capable.
Jiang Ning went up to shake hands, but there was no important person to introduce.
Let me introduce Comrade Lao Yang.
The old comrade still had a good sense of propriety. He was not polite when he should give orders to the boss, and he would never steal the limelight when he should respect the boss in important occasions. He shook hands with Lu Jingwei and took the initiative to step aside and act as a background board.
After a few pleasantries at the gate, we got in the car and headed into the farm.
Lu Jingwei smiled and said, "I'll take Mr. Jiang's car!"
Jiang Ning was a little surprised, but there was nothing to say.
Get in the car and set off.
Lu Jingwei originally wanted to go to the back, but saw him get into the driver's seat.
It was quite unexpected, so I got on the passenger seat.
After getting in the car, he fastened his seat belt and asked, "Mr. Jiang, don't you have a driver?"
Jiang Ning said: "I'm not used to having a driver. I still prefer to drive myself."
Lu Jingwei said: "Young people are still full of energy."
Jiang Ning said: "Boss Lu is also very young!"
Lu Jingwei said, "If you say that I am young to be a county official at my age, I am indeed very young, but if I compare my age with you young people, I cannot be compared. After all, forty years old is not considered young at all. Let's put it aside. At my age, I am already a grandfather."
Jiang Ning said: "There are also grandfathers at the age of 40 in the rural areas of Bei'an now!"
"right!"
Lu Jingwei smiled and said, "So forty years old is not considered young. There is not much time left for us to do things. The future still belongs to you young people. You still have at least twenty years to realize your dreams."
Jiang Ning was a little surprised. This boss was a little different.
The leaders I met before were not like this.
This boss's words have no official tone. If the same words are spoken by other bosses, no matter how friendly they are, there will be a feeling of a superior speaking to an inferior. But when they come from Boss Lu's mouth, they come naturally.
There is no sense of class at all.
It's like we're communicating on equal terms.
Drove into the farm.
The 570 was in front, and two Passats followed behind.
Lu Jingwei looked at the poplar trees on both sides of the road and the lush weeds in the woods, and said with surprise: "I've always heard people say that your farm is a good place for Feng Shui. I thought it was an exaggeration, but it's not an exaggeration at all. These trees were planted this year, right? How could they grow so fast? Did Mr. Jiang master some new technology?"
Jiang Ning said: "I guess so, but some people also say that this is a Feng Shui treasure land."
Lu Jingwei said: "There is such a saying, but I think it is nonsense. Feng Shui is a kind of our culture. It has its meaning and value, but Feng Shui cannot be regarded as superstition. Feng Shui is not science either."
Jiang Ning nodded, these words seemed to have some meaning.
But we still have to take a look.
The farms nowadays are actually very rough and there is nothing good to see.
There were only trees and grass. We circled the forest area and drove to the middle of the farm.
When passing by a meadow that was being harvested, Lu Jingwei called a halt: "Let's stop here and go down to take a look."
Jiang Ning parked the car on the side of the road and the two got out.
Two Passats followed and stopped behind.
The secretary and the driver got out of the car and stood far away, not coming over.
Yang Zhen also got out of the car and didn't come over.
Lu Jingwei stood by the road, looking at the weeds that had grown to more than one meter high and the harvesters harvesting grass in the distance. He looked surprised and asked, "Turning waste into treasure is also a very good business idea, with small investment and large output. However, the yield of these weeds should not be as high as those high-yield grasses, right?"
Jiang Ning said: "It is indeed not as good as forage grass. One acre of land can yield at most two tons. Some high-yield forage grasses can yield more than ten tons per acre. However, weeds grow very fast. If the roots are not damaged, one crop can be harvested in a month. In fact, it is not worse than growing high-yield forage grass."
Lu Jingwei asked: "Can the quality of the forage be guaranteed?"
Jiang Ning said: "I can guarantee it. It has been inspected."
Lu Jingwei did not ask any more questions and said, "Can high-yield forage grass be reused repeatedly?"
Jiang Ning said, "That's fine, but sales are a problem. Right now the farm exports less than 300 tons of forage grass a day, which is only half of the total output. If the county can help open up sales, I can grow high-yield forage grass!"
Lu Jingwei nodded and said nothing.
After looking around, he pointed to a construction site in the distance and asked, "Is that a construction site over there?"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "It's a sand field, mining sand and stone for the farm's construction."
Lu Jingwei said: "Let's go and take a look!"
So everyone got in the car and went to the distant battlefield.
There are many projects on the farm and the demand for sand and gravel is also great.
After three months of digging, a large pit as big as a football field had been dug.
The excavated earth was piled up on one side like a small hill.
Two excavators were digging inside, and a forklift was responsible for throwing the excavated stones onto a conveyor belt and transporting them out. After several screening processes, they were sieved into sand and gravel of different particle sizes and finally transported to different construction sites.
There are a dozen workers here, half of them are relatives.
Lu Jingwei got out of the car, stood by the pit and looked around, then asked, "After mining the sand and gravel, this pit needs to be backfilled, right?"
Jiang Ning said: "No need to backfill. A water storage station is planned here. When the project is completed, a large reservoir will be built on the spot to supply water to several nearby pools. It can also be used to collect rainwater."
Lu Jingwei nodded and said nothing more.
I went over and chatted with a few of the workers.
Several workers have lived for most of their lives and have never seen their parents.
Somewhat curious.
Of course I wasn't nervous. In fact, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If they don't make arrangements in advance, some of them are so bold that they would even curse the Lord. There are such people on my uncle's construction site, and there is more than one.
Lu Jingwei chatted with the workers and asked about their family situations.
Income from working.
Children’s employment status.
and many more.
After that, he took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to the workers.
A dozen bucks worth of cigarettes, not good nor bad.
The workers felt that he did not act like a parent official, and Jiang Ning also felt that he did not act like a parent official. There was not a trace of official air about him, nor did he have that sense of class that was deeply rooted in his bones. If Jiang Ning had not known his identity in advance, he would have thought that he was just an ordinary person.
At most, dress decently.
After visiting the well, I went to see the medicinal fields.
The angelica in the medicinal field has grown lush and green. Those who thought that Jiang Ning was crazy have been slapped in the face, including Jiang Ning's father. Whoever said that medicinal herbs cannot be grown in newly reclaimed wasteland is lying.
After visiting the medicinal fields, I went to see the orchard.
Jiang Ning also picked a chestnut and gave it to his parents to taste.
Lu Jingwei didn't act politely. After hearing him say that the food was not sprayed with pesticides, he wiped it with his hand and started eating.
The casual feeling is a little unreal.
Finally, Lu Jingwei visited Jiang Dad’s vegetable garden before leaving.
Jiang Ning and Yang Zhen sent the car to the gate and watched the Passat drive away.
They didn't leave, but started chatting at the gate.
Yang Zhen said: "This boss is good."
Jiang Ning said: "It doesn't feel like acting."
Yang Zhen said: "That is definitely not the case. If you act, you can't escape my sharp eyes."
Jiang Ning laughed. This old man was serious when he needed to be serious.
He can make people laugh when it's time to joke, and he won't make people feel annoyed if he occasionally takes advantage of his seniority.
On the contrary, I think it's quite old and cute.
Zhang Yulong and the accountant also laughed.
This shows the old comrade's ability to adjust the atmosphere.
After all, this isn't a very serious time.
Jiang Ning said, "Look, this official gives people a different feeling from other leaders. Just now when we talked about the feng shui problem of the farm, he expressed his opinion. I feel that the root of the problem is probably not him, but someone else."
Yang Zhen said: "The trees on the farm grow too fast. Now even worthless weeds can be sold for money. If you don't disclose the reason, it will inevitably cause people to have doubts. I think it may be that someone raised this topic to test the waters. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Jiang Ning said: "Then wait and see, it would be best if there is no problem."
Yang Zhen looked at the time: "It's half past four. Where should we go for lunch this afternoon?"
Jiang Ning said: "If you don't have any arrangements, we can just go to the construction site and have a meal."
Yang Zhen happily agreed and drove to the construction site.

PS: I can’t write too much about what happens in the yamen, but this character is quite important, so I’ve devoted more time to him.
