The series of cases derived from Min Baitao's arrest have caused Baitao Real Estate to be criticized for a long time. In fact, for more than half a year, this former leading company has been disappearing, and its operating conditions have deteriorated. To harvest the loan, he had to sell many assets to repay the debt, but even so, he was still in a precarious situation.

When the time came to April, Baitao Real Estate suddenly became active again in front of the public. It first announced that it would change the company name to Tianhong Real Estate Group, and then announced a series of reorganization plans in an attempt to get the company out of the shadow brought by Min Baitao. As for the person in charge who has been vacant for a long time, it will be Chang Junlong.

Although many people don't know the specific background of Chang Junlong, but being able to become the new spokesperson of this large local interest group has already attracted a lot of attention.

Chen Mingyuan was not surprised when he got the news, but through Wang Lei's channel, he collected some background information of Liu Ting's family in Yongcheng, and learned that the Liu family had sponsored a lot of money for Tianhong Real Estate this time, and also helped clear up some relationship channels. .

At least these days, Chen Mingyuan heard that some officials with real power in the provinces and cities and leaders of heavyweight administrative departments were invited by Chang Junlong. There was even news that the Jia brothers, who were quite powerful in the Ministry of Construction, also participated. , In this way, Tianhong Real Estate has become famous in a short period of time. Regardless of the recovery of funds or contacts, it has already made a comeback.

Chen Mingyuan knew that Wen Jinhua was going all out this time, and he would rather give away some cakes than win over more powerful forces to lay a solid foundation for his revival.

Chen Mingyuan didn't pay too much attention to this. Firstly, Wen Jinhua and Chang Junlong's climate could not be achieved in a short time. Moreover, right now he had to assist Ning Lizhong to start a round of inspection and investigation.

The sky was clear, the clouds were flowing, and in the bright and splendid spring, a Costa bus was driving steadily on the road leading to the south. Chen Mingyuan opened the window, and a mass of warmth and breeze came blowing in, which was very comfortable. Looking at the people in the car, except for the driver, most of them have fallen asleep soundly.

There were not many people traveling this time. Apart from myself, Fan Jiang and two security guards, there were Deputy Secretary-General Song Yang, Deputy Governor Fang Tao who was in charge of construction and transportation, and some people who actually "didn't want to do it."

While admiring the scenery along the road comfortably, the interview car that followed suddenly drove up. After driving side by side, the window of the car was opened a little, revealing Yin Xiayuan's pretty oval face.

The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee went to inspect and investigate. The Provincial Radio and Television Group and other news organizations will definitely send reporters to accompany them to report. Called her name.

Yin Xiayuan pointed to the side with his hand.

Chen Mingyuan looked over, and saw Ye Qingxue who was sitting inside covering her mouth, her face was pale and her brows were furrowed, as if she had endured a lot of hard work.

You don't need to guess, you know that she is suffering from motion sickness.

Seeing that Yin Xiayuan was still comforting Ye Qingxue, Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly silently. Unexpectedly, the usually cold and decisive strong woman was completely wilted at this moment.

At this moment, Ning Lizhong opened his eyes, turned his head to look, and said with a smile: "It's such a long road, Mr. Ye is afraid that it will be difficult."

"Why don't you let them drive slower and catch up later."

"Forget it, there is a service station not far ahead, let's all stop there for a rest."

Ning Lizhong smiled and said: "Anyway, there is still plenty of time, let's take care of the lesbians."

The secretary had already spoken, and without Chen Mingyuan's reminder, the driver quickly turned the car into the service station. When Chen Mingyuan and Ning Lizhong got out of the car, Ye Qingxue and Yin Xiayuan also got out of the interview car.

"Sorry, Secretary Ning, I have caused you trouble..."

Ye Qingxue pulled herself together and apologized, her voice was weak.

Ning Lizhong smiled and said: "It should be that we have caused trouble to Mr. Ye. In order to cooperate with the work of the provincial party committee, we changed the activity plan."

The reason why Ning Lizhong simply vetoed Du Chunping's arrangement was largely because he had already prepared a back move. This so-called back move came from the newly established Overseas Chinese Friendship Association.

At the inauguration ceremony that day, Ye Qingxue announced in public that she would raise money to help out-of-school children in impoverished mountainous areas. Later, during her meeting with Ning Lizhong, she saw that the secretary of the provincial party committee was very interested in the project, so she took the initiative to extend an invitation. , everyone can go to poor areas together.

Ning Lizhong was considering whether to make his own travel plan. Having such a ride would not only save him a lot of setbacks, but also find a suitable excuse to avoid making the internal conflicts of the provincial party committee public, so he pretended to decline. After a few clicks, President Ye agreed to the warm invitation.

Of course, Chen Mingyuan had asked him for instructions in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

Since Secretary Ning asked for a light car and a simple car, Ye Qingxue, who wanted to make a big splash, had to change her plan. She represented the Overseas Chinese Friendship Association to accompany her as a celibate.

Ye Qingxue was about to say a few polite words, but her stomach churned again. Seeing Ning Lizhong waving his hand, accompanied by Yin Xiayuan, she hurried to the toilet.

"It's really hard for her."

Ning Lizhong smiled and said, "Mingyuan, please help take care of him." After speaking, accompanied by Fan Jiang and others, he walked to the lounge.

While waiting, Chen Mingyuan began to puff away the clouds beside the car, admiring the surrounding green mountains and forests with great interest.

At this moment, they are already located in Lishan City in the southwest of Dongjiang Province.

Lishan City is a prefecture-level city, known as Chuzhou in ancient times, and it was first named in the Sui Dynasty. It is the largest and most sparsely populated area in Dongjiang Province.

The natural environment here is quite good, dominated by mountains and hills, rich in minerals and forest resources, and due to the climate characteristics of early spring, long summer, long winter and late winter, coupled with sufficient sunlight and large temperature differences in the mountains, the amount of crops planted ranks first in the province. Looking up, it is full of pleasant scenery with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

The only pity is that due to congenital factors such as remote terrain and inconvenient transportation, the development of Lishan City has been lagging behind since the founding of the People's Republic of China. With the reform and opening up, the private economy of Dongjiang Province has taken off, but Lishan City is like a closed mountain village. Farmers were directly thrown out of the big team, and the economic index was at the bottom of the province's crane every year, which became a long-standing problem for the previous provincial party committee and government.

This time Ning Lizhong chose this place for his inspection, because he naturally wanted to use Lishan City as a typical example of an underdeveloped area for in-depth research in order to study reform policies.

After smoking a cigarette leisurely for a while, Chen Mingyuan heard someone hawking, followed the sound, and saw baskets of yellow and orange loquats lying on the side of the road.

Chen Mingyuan remembered that loquats had the effect of treating stomach cold and vomiting, so he went over to pick them up, squeezed them, they felt very plump and the color was quite good.

"Young man, you are tired from the car ride, take a few to moisten your throat."

The old man enthusiastically peeled a loquat, handed it over and said, "Taste it first, it tastes good."

Chen Mingyuan put it into his mouth and took a few bites, nodded slightly. The flesh was mellow, the skin was thin and juicy, and it was many times better than the loquat sold in the city's farmers' market. "Grandpa, how much is it per catty?"

The old man held up two fingers: "Two yuan a catty."

Chen Mingyuan frowned.

The old man thought he thought it was too expensive, so he hurriedly said, "If you are willing to buy more, I can give you a cheaper price."

Chen Mingyuan saw his tanned skin from long-term farming and the sad look on his vicissitudes of life. He felt compassion, asked for a bag, and put some in it. After weighing it, he handed over a hundred-yuan bill .

The old man spread his hands and said with a bitter face, "I-I can't find this..."

"It's okay, it's not easy for you to work."

Chen Mingyuan stuffed it into the old man's pocket, but the old man refused a few times, so he had to accept it, and said with emotion: "There are still so many good people."

Chen Mingyuan passed another cigarette over, looked at the baskets full of loquats, and said, "How is your spring harvest?"

The old man took a puff of cigarette and sighed: "It's not bad. It's a bumper harvest year, but no matter how much you harvest, it's useless if you can't sell it. At this time of year, the streams and ponds in our village are full of these things. Every family They leave what they can’t sell there, and when the weather gets hot, it will stink.”

"Is no one coming to buy from you?"

"There are, but not many. Most of them are nearby merchants, and the prices are very low. There is really no way. I just picked a few loads and sold them at the intersection. It's better to sell as much as you can, than to rot there. .”

Chen Mingyuan chatted with him about the current situation of the farmers. After learning about the specific situation, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He had no worries about food and clothing in a big city, but he had never carefully explored how many precarious low-level laborers there were in this great country. common people.
