Chapter 1266 Luzhou Agreement
When Li Xiangnan got up the next morning, the yard was noisy.
Because he had to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year early, Ruobai had to go back to the unit to hand over his work to Lao Wei and left early. When he came out to brush his teeth, he happened to see Xu Damao coming in from the central courtyard laughing.
"Brother Da Mao, what's going on?"
"Hey, the neighbors heard that the public toilet was blown up by that stupid kid from the Zheng family, so they all came to cause trouble this morning! Everyone is asking them to pay compensation!"
Once this public toilet was bombed, people from the seven or eight nearby courtyards who wanted to use the toilet had to go to the entrance of the alley 500 meters away.
No wonder there was such a commotion, this is what happened!
Li Xiangnan nodded silently. Seeing that Xu was about to enter the house, he took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and called Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, I'll give you this money first. If you are free today, go with my dad to complete the house formalities. We are going back to our hometown for the New Year. Please clean up the house when you come!"
They just talked about the house yesterday, but today Li Xiangnan gave all the money first. This made Xu Damao surprised and excited, and at the same time, he was deeply impressed by Li Xiangnan's wealth.
"Doctor Li, don't worry, I'll take half a day off today! I'll definitely help you get things done!"
Grandma Mu Huanying’s matter has not been settled yet. After the New Year, the whole family will definitely continue to stay in Yanjing!
This is a long-term plan, so it is necessary to arrange accommodation for grandpa and parents.
After finishing this, Li Xiangnan quickly ate his meal and pushed his bicycle out.
Passing by the Intermediate Courtyard, there were still many people cursing in front of Zheng's house. I heard from many neighbors that Qin Chunlian had taken Zheng Xiaosuan to the Street Office to find a solution!
Last night, Uncle Yu called on everyone to chip in to clean up the Zheng family’s mess, but it wasn’t implemented. Now the Zheng family is probably in a hurry!
After leaving the yard, he got on his bike and headed straight to Nianwei Hospital.
Chunyu Medical is now on holiday, the finishing work of Nanyi Equipment is almost done, and the massage parlor has already been closed.
Now people from all walks of life are looking forward to the Chinese New Year.
But hospitals are special places, and diseases do not subside just because the Spring Festival approaches.
So in the morning, Li Xiangnan found Zheng Qian and Xu Ping and held a short meeting to arrange the duty before and after the year-end. The salary of those on duty was also doubled accordingly. What should be paid should be paid, and the employees' hearts should not be disappointed.
I had originally planned to invite all the employees of Chunyu, Nanyi and Nianwei to hold an annual meeting and have a reunion dinner before the Chinese New Year this year!
But when Li Xiangnan thought about it, he felt that this matter could not be done in advance!
This year is the 80th, the most basic year for all undertakings, and everything is in need of reconstruction. Although holding annual meetings is meaningful in boosting morale, if too much is said, it is easy for people to suspect that you are just making empty promises.
If the annual meeting is held before the end of next year, 81, everyone's pockets will be bulging and they will have made practical gains. If I say that I will take everyone to New York to ring the bell at that time, I guess no one will disbelieve me!
We distributed New Year's goods that were worth more than the money, and gave triple salary bonuses to employees who were on duty during the New Year. It was really not easy to do this when money was really tight in the first year!
take it easy!
Li Xiangnan warned himself.
Jingle Bell!
I was having a meeting with Zheng Gan and Xu Ping when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Dean, we'll be leaving first! We'll start implementing what you said today! I wish you and your family all the best in advance!" Zheng Qian immediately pulled Xu Ping up, smiled and blessed her as they left.
Only then did Li Xiangnan answer the phone and said hello.
"Xiao Li! It's me!"
A familiar voice came from the phone, and Li Xiangnan was shocked and immediately said happily: "Secretary Zhang..."
"Why call me secretary? Just call me uncle!" Zhang Zhidong was very cordial on the phone, and the second sentence went straight to the point, "When are you coming to Luzhou?"
"Uncle Zhang!" Li Xiangnan smiled, feeling a little surprised.
I wanted to meet him during the Chinese New Year. I had promised Zhang Zhidong this during the training in Luzhou in November. I didn't expect that he cared more about it than I did and even called me personally to ask about the time.
You know, since Zhang Zhidong was promoted from vice governor to provincial party secretary, the workload and the burden on him have been much heavier than before!
It is no exaggeration to say that he is busy with many things to do!
But even in his busy schedule, he still cares about the promise he made to me. This is so rare!
"Uncle Zhang, the original plan was to go back on the 28th! I'll visit you on the way!" Li Xiangnan told him the plan.
"That's it..."
A voice of regret came from the phone, which was instantly caught by Li Xiangnan. He could hear the emotion in the old man's tone, so he immediately said: "Uncle Zhang, I didn't have a good chat with you last time, so I changed my plan. I will go to Luzhou on the 27th of the lunar year to meet you and we can have a good chat!"
"That's great! You can take a day off in Luzhou to relax and we can have a serious chat!" Zhang Zhidong's tone suddenly became excited.
"Okay, okay, let's put it this way..."
Just as Li Xiangnan was about to hang up the phone, Zhang Zhidong suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Li, your grandfather is coming back to his hometown too, right? Is he coming with you this time?"
"Yes, it was Grandpa's idea to go back to our hometown for the New Year!"
"That's perfect. I miss him a lot! Someone wants to meet the old man! I'll be waiting for you! Let me know when the train ticket is, and remember this phone number..."
Li Xiangnan took a pen and quickly wrote down a phone number before hanging up.
Looking sideways at the sky outside the window, he always felt that in addition to seeing him to chat, the most important thing for Zhang Zhidong this time was that someone wanted to see his grandfather.
Who would wait to see their grandfather?
If he is so anxious, why doesn't he come to Yanjing?
But since we have made an agreement, let’s buy the tickets first!
I found the phone number of the train station ticket window in the telephone directory and dialed it.
"Hey... please buy me five tickets for the 13th..."
"Beep beep!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a busy tone on the phone. He turned his head and said in surprise, "Song Yi, I'm buying a ticket!"
"What tickets? Here!" Song Yi held the microphone with one hand and held the car keys with the other hand. "My grandfather asked me to lend the car to your family for the Spring Festival. We don't need it anyway!"
"Hi!" Li Xiangnan was delighted. He put down the phone and quickly went to pour tea. "Please thank the old man for me! When I come back from Hongshan, I will go to wish him a happy new year as soon as possible!"
"Be careful!" Song Yi took the tea with a smile and checked the phone. "You'll be back on the 27th of the lunar year?"
"Well, we have to go to Luzhou to meet with Zhang Zhidong first! Several old contacts of the Red Emblem Chamber of Commerce have already laid the foundation in advance. Southern Anhui plays an irreplaceable role in reform and opening up. It is our most important trump card outside of Yanjing! Some things still need to be discussed!"
Song Yi's eyes lit up and she said admiringly, "You always do things so thoroughly! Then I'll wait for your good news!"
"Well, when I come back after the New Year, I will report the results of the conversation to you in detail..."
"Let me go, let me go! Let me go..."
Bang!
Before Li Xiangnan could finish his words, he suddenly heard the sounds of fierce fighting and shouting coming from downstairs.
He and Song Yi looked at each other, then quickly walked to the window and looked downstairs with a frown.
I saw a child of about thirteen or fourteen being grabbed by the collar of his frayed cotton jacket by a middle-aged man.
The crisp sound of cloth buttons cracking mixed with the north wind scared away the sparrows that were pecking at food on the snow pile.
"Let go..."
The boy stiffened his neck, his face flushed red, and hit the man's arm violently with his hands.
Wow!
Just then, a woman was kicking a bamboo tray piled up nearby. The moment it was overturned, a caramel-colored rain of melon seeds splashed onto the snowy ground covered with thin ice. A few seeds rolled into the gutter and were wrapped in the dirty water and disappeared in an instant.
The white and black insoles and socks were crushed into the black and gray mud by the woman's feet and no longer had their former colors.
The woman picked up needles, thread, buttons and rubber bands and threw them into the desolate flower bed like flowers from heaven.
The surroundings were suddenly in a mess.
"Don't touch my things, don't touch my things, I let you hit me, I let you hit me, please..."
The boy's mournful and helpless cry sounded like a fragile and pitiful duckweed in the vast ocean.
Li Xiangnan suddenly became furious, opened the window and shouted, "Stop!"
