rebirth of change

"Are there so many of us going to ask for it?" Tuo Peixi asked interestingly as he circled the room symbolically with his right hand.

"Well, it's true that there are a lot of people, and your question is good." Chen Kangjie praised Tuo Peixi, "Brother Qiang and I will go tomorrow, and everyone else is waiting outside."

"You...you two go? Then I..." Tuo Peixi became excited again. He asked like that, implying that she was going. Who knew that Chen Kangjie would exclude her after a word of praise. How could she not Excited.

"You, what are you doing? You are waiting outside with them, do you have a different opinion?" Chen Kangjie said this on purpose, of course he could see that Tuo Peixi, who was so lively, wanted her to go with him.However, Chen Kangjie couldn't let her go. On the one hand, he suppressed her flamboyant personality, and on the other hand, he was worried that something bad would happen to her.

"Of course I have a different opinion. I'm going. I'll go with you tomorrow. Brother Qiang and the others are outside. The two of us happen to be... brother and sister." Tuo Peixi said these two words, and his face suddenly glowed red.He originally wanted to talk about couples, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, that was too inappropriate, so he changed his words temporarily.

"Brothers and sisters? Hehe."

"What are you laughing at? Isn't it appropriate?" Tuo Peixi felt even more embarrassed by Chen Kangjie's question.

"Hehe, of course it's not suitable, how can there be such a disobedient sister like you. Hehe, you, you should honestly wait outside with them. Brother Qiang and I will go. Well, it's settled." Chen Kangjie The final word.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Chen Kangjie and the others set off for Yunzi County in two cars.After bumping on the road for about two hours, they finally entered this small county with a population of only about [-] at nine o'clock.

The population of Yunzi County is 10,000+. The county seat is not big. There are mainly two streets, one horizontal and one vertical. At the intersection of the two streets, there is a green central island.The entire county is centered on this and spreads out in all directions.The county's government departments and important shopping malls are located on these two streets.It is a popular saying in later generations that within a radius of [-] meters of the central island, it is considered as the CBD of the county, because the only large supermarket in the county—Renrenle Supermarket, and the only large department store in the county—Fangyuan Department Store are all within this range. In addition to the outlets of Rising Sun Electric Sales Company, Telecom Company, Mobile Company, and the three state-owned banks of industry and commerce, agriculture and construction, the flow of people, logistics and capital in the county are almost all here.

Entering the county town from the horizontal Zhonghua Avenue, it feels that this place is not backward. The government buildings on both sides of the road are quite brand new. There are small gardens in front of the general office buildings such as the County Public Security Bureau, the Finance Bureau and the National Taxation Bureau. , and some have rockery fountains.

The city roads are not bad, the cement roads are clean, and the roadside trees are quite lush.When the vehicle approached the green central island known as the Grand Cross by the locals, various clothing stores lined up.The format vehicles coming and going on the road can also be regarded as a lot of traffic, and there are many high-end cars such as Audi and Mercedes-Benz among them.

"It seems that Yunzi County is not behind. It's not like what the information says. How does this look like a national-level poverty-stricken county?" Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Tuo Peixi asked in bewilderment.

"This is the horizontal Zhonghua Street, and the other vertical main road, Minzu Avenue, looks slightly worse. If you leave these two streets and walk in the alley beside the road, you will find that this place is far from what you see now. It’s so glamorous, but the drainage facilities in many old houses are not perfect, and even in some places, several households use one faucet.” Dong Mingshu, who has been here, explained.

"This is about saving face. The poorer the place, the more it pays attention to face. It is necessary to find a place where people can see people. Whether it is to meet the inspection or to make yourself look more comfortable, the parents and officials will not let everyone in the county. The place is dilapidated, after all, they also work and live here." Chen Kangjie seemed to express his understanding, but also sighed mockingly.

"Jie Shao is right, that's how it is. I heard that if the superiors are here to evaluate the results, then let them transfer to Zhonghua Avenue and Minzu Avenue, but if the superiors come to evaluate poor counties, then let them transfer to rural areas and streets. The alley behind. This is two-handed preparation, it depends on who you are dealing with." Dong Mingshu said.

Chen Kangjie and the others were going to the northern section of Minzu Street, followed Zhonghua Street to Zhongxin Island and turned back northward. After traveling for more than one kilometer, they arrived at the location of the County Construction Engineering Company.

Just like what Dong Mingshu said, Minzu Avenue is a little less lively, and there are many shops on both sides of the road that manufacture building materials, hardware, furniture, etc.At least the flow of people and cleanliness are slightly inferior to Zhonghua Avenue.

Unlike other places that Chen Kangjie has been to, Yunzi County Construction Engineering Company is not an old-fashioned building. Their office location is comparable to that of the construction bureau next to it. They are all four-story cement buildings with white tiles on the outer walls. Under the sunlight, there was a layer of halo.Moreover, the yard of Yunzi County Construction Engineering Company looks larger than that of the Construction Bureau, with a garage on the left and a two-story building on the right.There are rockery and flowing water in the middle of the yard, no matter how you look at it, it is quite high-grade.

Chen Kangjie and the others parked the car not far from the county construction engineering company. Chen Kangjie and Xiong Ziqiang opened the door and walked out.

"Go back to the car and sit down, don't make trouble." Turning around, Chen Kangjie saw that Tuo Peixi, who was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, was also getting out of the car, so he hurriedly ordered.

"Hmph, you are not allowed to get out of the car to exercise your muscles and bones? Who cares to go with you?" Tuo Peixi raised her eyebrows, stared at her eyes, got out of the car and stood at the car door, turned her face and said angrily.

Chen Kangjie shook his head helplessly, he could only use his eyes to hint to Pang Hui and the others that they should take good care of this girl, and don't lose her when the time comes.

"What are you doing? Who are you looking for?" Chen Kangjie and Xiong Ziqiang strolled to the gate of Yunzi County Construction Engineering Company, and were about to walk in when they were stopped by a guard.

The doorman looked to be in his fifties, with an old Chinese tunic suit draped over his shoulders, and a pair of eyeballs inlaid on that scorched face kept looking warily at Chen Kangjie and Pang Hui.

"Uncle, we are here to find Manager Du from the Finance Department." Xiong Ziqiang greeted him with a smile, and handed him a cigarette courteously, "As agreed before, he asked to come this morning."

The guard glanced at Xiong Ziqiang's cigarette box, and readily took the cigarettes in his hand.Even if the cigarette in Xiong Ziqiang's hand is just looking at the box, it is a high-end cigarette that ordinary people cannot afford.However, the dedicated guard didn't let Chen Kangjie and the others in just because of the bribe of a cigarette.

"Did you agree? Then where are you from?" the guard continued to ask.

"Yes, it was agreed. We called a few days ago. We are construction machinery manufacturers and came from the provincial capital. We arrived late yesterday, so we only came here this morning." Chen Kangjie smiled harmlessly. He took the conversation and said.

Chen Kangjie had been a salesman for several years before he was reborn, so he was quite skilled at dealing with such people.In fact, they didn't even know if Du Feiyao would be in the company today, it was Saturday after all.But since it's here, you have to try it after all.If they had honestly stated their purpose, perhaps the guards would not have let them in, and would have simply lied by doing business.

The guard looked left and right, perhaps because he felt that Chen Kangjie and Xiong Ziqiang seemed to come from a big city in the provincial capital from their clothes and temperament, so they let them in without much doubt.

Since the guard is willing to let it in, it shows a problem. Du Feiyao is at work today.If Du Feiyao wasn't around, he wouldn't have let them in.

So Chen Kangjie and the others went to the door of the office building and caught a person who asked where the financial office was, then they went straight up to the third floor and walked towards the leftmost office.

The leather shoes clanged crisply on the smooth terrazzo floor.The two came to the door of the office with the words "Financial Office" hanging on it.Chen Kangjie, who was walking in front, found that the door was not closed tightly. Through the crack of the door, he could faintly hear the voices of chatting inside.But out of politeness, he raised his right hand and knocked on the door three times.

"Come in." A woman's muffled voice came from behind the door.

Chen Kangjie opened the door and saw the layout of the office with only two desks at a glance.To Chen Kangjie's surprise, there were only two women in the office, one in her 30s and the other in her forties.The two women were sitting in their seats, but they leaned forward and got very close, as if they were talking about some private topic.

"Who are you looking for?" The slightly fat woman in her forties who was sitting on the right and wearing a red woolen sweater asked slightly displeased.

Hearing the voice, Chen Kangjie could tell that it was her who called "Come in" just now.

"Hello, let's find Manager Du." None of the two women was Du Feiyao at first glance, so although Chen Kangjie didn't have a good impression of this place, he was still polite.

"How did you find Manager Du here? Really, Manager Du is opposite." The woman in her thirties glared at Chen Kangjie and the others, waved her hands, and said impatiently.It seemed that they were very annoyed that Chen Kangjie and the others interrupted their chat, and they wanted to send Chen Kangjie and the others away as soon as possible without asking about the matter.

Although they had a bad attitude, Chen Kangjie was still very satisfied with their answers.He didn't greet them anymore, and after closing the door, he went straight to the opposite office with no sign on the door.

This time, Chen Kangjie didn't knock on the door, he just put his hand on the doorknob and pushed the door open.

"What are you doing? Why did you come in without knocking? You just played the piano." Sitting behind the desk in the office was a fat man in a gray suit, about 41 years old.When he saw Chen Kangjie and Xiong Ziqiang, who was fiddling with the computer, he immediately got angry without saying a word.

"We're here to ask for the bill."
