The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen, Liu Yun, and Xiaofang went home. Everyone was silent along the way. Liu Yun drove the car, Xiaofang sat in the passenger seat, and Zhang Chen sat alone in the back seat.

Although it was late at night, the lights were still bright outside the car window. Zhang Chen sighed in his heart and went home, went home, he went home, and Meng Ping went home too. He would have air conditioning, hot water, and supper when he went back. There was a warm bed at night, but Meng Ping's road home was getting darker and darker. At this moment, he should have been lying in the freezer of the funeral parlor.

my brother!

Zhang Chen thought silently in his heart and couldn't help but shed tears.

When the car was almost driving to Xintiandi, Zhang Chen remembered it. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Li Yong and Chen Qihang:

"Meng Ping is gone."

Less than a minute later, Zhang Chen's cell phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was Li Yong. Zhang Chen picked it up and told Li Yong that Meng Ping was gone.

Li Yong said: "I saw it. Thinking about it now, fortunately I arrived last night, which can be regarded as the last trip."

Zhang Chen hummed.

"Zhang Chen, were you okay when Lao Meng left?"

Zhang Chen said it would be soon. Li Yong sighed and said, "It's a relief."

Zhang Chen and Li Yong said: "Yes, it's my wish."

"What is your wish?" Li Yong asked.

Zhang Chen told Li Yong about Meng Ping's decision to sell the Asia-Pacific Commercial Building to repay the debts of Shaoxing people. Zhang Chen said that the transfer agreement was signed today and he showed it to him. Meng Ping had said this before. If it is not dealt with properly, he will die with his eyes open.

Li Yong sighed: "This is something only Lao Meng can do... By the way, Zhang Chen, when you are going to Shaoxing, tell me in advance. This is a good thing. I will say hello to the local government and ask them to come forward." , solved all the problems at once.”

"Don't bother. Chen Yaqin and I know those people. We can just deal with them as a family." Zhang Chen said.

"You, Zhang Chen, you said you were in business, and sometimes you are more naive than me." Li Yong said, "Have you forgotten that you, Gangzi, and Lao Meng donated money to my hometown? In the end, What kind of result? Many times, even with good intentions, there may not be a good result.

"Let me tell you, if the money is not dealt with and the old Meng people are gone, no one can do anything but admit that they are unlucky. But if they hear that the money is still available, many people's minds will be alive and they will The asking prices are sky-high, and when I look at the orphans and widows left behind by Lao Meng, my heart becomes even more ruthless, and all kinds of interest, interest, and interest will be added on, do you understand?"

Zhang Chen said: "Okay, this is the complicated China you mentioned. I'll call you then and have a good rest."

Just after hanging up the phone from Li Yong, Chen Qihang's call came back. He said, Zhang Chen, why are you so difficult to call and are you still dealing with things?

Zhang Chen said no and was on the phone with Li Yong.

Chen Qihang said "Oh": "Let's all express our condolences, Zhang Chen. Let me know when the time for the funeral has been set. Yiyan and I must go there."

Zhang Chen said yes.

Chen Qihang was still in the office. After hanging up Zhang Chen's call, he stood up and walked to the row of monitors, staring at Unit 4. It was on this monitor that he discovered Meng Ping and Liu Pole.

Chen Qihang sighed.

…

The next morning, Zhang Chen went to Kunlun Hotel and Qian Fang's room. Qian Fang called Chen Yaqin and Meng Ping's sister over and told them that before we went to the funeral home, we had to discuss it with ourselves before we could decide. Memorial service, which is the date of cremation.

"Now, the first thing we need to discuss is where to bury Lao Meng. Where should we buy a cemetery?" Qian Fang said.

Meng Ping's sister said, of course she would go home, to Wuxi.

"What do you think?"

Qian Fang asked Chen Yaqin. Chen Yaqin hesitated and wanted to say something, but did not say it. Qian Fang knew in her heart that in fact, she had communicated with Chen Yaqin about this matter in advance. Qian Fang said:

"I think from Lao Meng's perspective, Nanjing is more suitable. Lao Meng's career is in Nanjing, his company is in Nanjing, and his home is also in Nanjing. By the way, everything will be handed over to Yaqin and his daughter. He must have lived in Nanjing. If Lao Meng is buried in Wuxi, will Yaqin and the others still go to Wuxi to visit the grave?"

Zhang Chen understood clearly from the side. This was not only discussing where to buy Meng Ping's tomb. Qian Fang was also indirectly telling Meng Ping's sister that whether you have thought about it or not, there are some things you'd better think about. Don't even think about it, it's all in vain.

After death, after grief, what follows are trivial practical problems.

Zhang Chen said: "I also think Nanjing is more suitable. Chen Yaqin, what do you think?"

Chen Yaqin said: "I listen to you."

All three people said this, and Meng Ping's sister said, well, you know my brother best, and if you think Nanjing is good, then Nanjing.

Qian Fang said yes, we will find a suitable cemetery in Nanjing right away. However, it is the Spring Festival holiday now, so it is not easy to find someone. It is estimated that it will take a longer time. In this way, the time for the memorial service cannot be too tight.

"There is one more thing." Zhang Chen said, "The affairs of Shaoxing people have always been Meng Ping's heart. I wonder if this matter needs to be dealt with urgently? It is best to finish this matter before holding a memorial service. Will this make Meng Ping truly feel refreshed?"

Chen Yaqin and Qian Fang both nodded. Qian Fang said: "Okay, as soon as the other company comes to work, we will go through the transfer procedures immediately. After completing it, we will give priority to this matter. Once this matter is handled, we will make a decision." Cremation time.”

Zhang Chen said yes.

"You don't have to go to the funeral parlor, Mr. Zhang. I'll ask Li Yang to go through the formalities and store Lao Meng temporarily in the funeral parlor." Qian Fang said and Zhang Chen nodded.

"I'll go back to Hangzhou in the afternoon. Chen Yaqin, do you want me to take you back to Shaoxing?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Not going back to Shaoxing." Before Chen Yaqin could answer, Qian Fang said, "The mother and daughter are going to Nanjing with us. In the past few days, we will first decide on Lao Meng's cemetery. After work, we will also have to handle the changes to Lao Meng's company. The formalities, as well as the kindergarten for Little Nail, should also be implemented.”

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you for the hard work, Qian Fang.

"Whatever, arranging the mother and daughter arrangements is also something Lao Meng told me. Lao Meng is my boss, no matter whether others are present or not. Do I dare not listen to him?" Qian Fang said.

Zhang Chen nodded.

Qian Fang then turned to Meng Ping's sister and said to her: "If anything happens at home, just call me. If my uncle and aunt have any requests, please tell me. If Lao Meng is gone, it's the same with me. It's the same." It works.”

Meng Ping's sister shook her head and said, "There is nothing wrong at home. My brother has done enough for the family."

Chen Yaqin said to her: "You can also call me. Also, I will find time to take Xiao Dingdao to Wuxi to visit her grandparents as soon as possible."

Meng Ping's sister nodded. She and Chen Yaqin looked at each other and started crying. Qian Fang also started crying.

The three women were crying. Zhang Chen stood up and walked out.

…

Meng Ping's part of the Asia-Pacific Business Building was sold for 962 million. All the debts of the Shaoxing people, minus Zhang Chen's repayment for Liu Ligan, plus the disposal of all Lao Ni's assets, were divided among them. The outstanding principal amount is 583 million.

Li Yong called Zhang Chen and said that he had made an agreement with the Shaoxing County Government. They would summon all creditors and hold a meeting with you. Local comrades also said that people like Lao Meng are rare. They They will not allow the creditor lions to open their mouths. They will do the work for the interest part, and everything will be settled at once.

Zhang Chen said okay, thank you Li Yong.

"What you are thanking me for is Lao Meng's business, and I have to trouble you, Zhang Chen, to make another trip to Shaoxing." Li Yong said.

Qian Fang, Li Yang and Chen Yaqin arrived in Hangzhou. Zhang Chen asked, "Where is the little nail?"

Qian Fang said: "Sister Cao took her with her, and now Little Nail and Sister Cao are close to each other."

Chen Yaqin smiled and said, "Yes, I'm even jealous when I look at it."

Xiao Wu heard that they were going to Shaoxing to deal with things and wanted to go with them. Zhang Chen looked at him strangely and asked, "Why are you going? The government is here to help, so you don't need to fight."

Xiao Wu said: "What do you think? I have understood their accounts."

Chen Yaqin and Zhang Chen said: "It's true. Those who borrowed money from Lao Ni, didn't they also borrow a lot of money? In our village, you ask me for a debt, and I ask him for a debt, otherwise my parents I’m not so afraid, I’m just afraid that others will know that I’m with Lao Meng.”

Zhang Chen asked Xiao Wu: "Does it work for you in Shaoxing?"

"I know them all, including those Northeasterners from Keqiao." Xiao Wu said.

Zhang Chen said yes, then you will follow to escort him.

Zhang Chen and the others arrived at the Shaoxing County Government. The county government specially assigned a deputy county magistrate named Qi and the director of the Public Security Bureau to handle their matters. When Zhang Chen and the others arrived at the county government conference room, all the creditors had already arrived. Many of them knew Zhang Chen. They had a meeting together last time they dealt with the pole matter in Hangzhou.

When these people saw Zhang Chen, they all greeted him.

Even more people knew Chen Yaqin. They came over to say hello to her and asked her where she had been after not seeing her for several years. Chen Yaqin could only keep smiling at them.

At the beginning of the meeting, County Magistrate Qi made his opening remarks and invited Zhang Chen to speak. Zhang Chen introduced Meng Ping to them one by one, explaining how they were in the ward. Zhang Chen said, "We are here to deal with the debt today. Once the matter is taken care of, Meng Ping'an can go with peace of mind.

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room. County Magistrate Qi glanced at everyone and said, "You creditors can also share your thoughts."

"Let me tell you." Someone volunteered.

County Magistrate Qi said yes, you say.

"To be honest, when Ni Zhigeng passed away, I thought I was unlucky. Yesterday the county government called me and told me that someone else claimed this account. I didn't believe it. I thought I had received a scam call. After repeated confirmations, I found out that the call was indeed from the county government. In terms of mood, I think most people in this conference room must be the same as me, happy and surprised.

"I heard Mr. Zhang introduce this situation earlier. When Mr. Zhang was talking about it, I was also calculating. I thought, there are really such stupid people in this world. Everyone is already dead, and he still wants to admit his fault. If he If you don’t admit it, we will definitely not get a penny, right?

"I'm a rough guy, I don't know other words. Anyway, after listening to Mr. Zhang's introduction, I think, I think this Mr. Meng is a good guy and a man. Yaqin, you are not wrong about the person. Plus Yaqin, you are I am a native of my hometown. What else can I say? I will express my position on this account. If you have enough money, you will give me the principal. If you don't have enough money, you can give me less.

"Anyway, I have already decided that this account is dead. I have money to take today, no matter how much I take, I am very happy. Okay, this is my attitude."

Zhang Chen said: "The principal part will be given to you every penny, and the interest part will also be considered as appropriate..."

"No, no, just give us the principal." Someone shouted, "It's nothing like interest. I'm embarrassed to ask for more interest. This Mr. Meng doesn't have such a big responsibility in the first place. He can still carry it on one shoulder, that’s good, it’s interesting enough.”

Other debtors also said, yes, just pay the principal.

This time, it was a big surprise to Zhang Chen and others. County Magistrate Qi smiled and said: "How about it, Mr. Zhang, we Shaoxing people are still very reasonable, right?"

Zhang Chen nodded repeatedly.

The principal list had already been prepared. County Magistrate Qi picked up the list and read it over. All creditors confirmed that the principal amount was correct. County Magistrate Qi said:

"Okay, let's start distributing them now. Come one by one, don't rush. Those who get them will sign on this list."

Chen Yaqin took out her laptop and began to transfer the money one by one. The person who received the money consciously signed the list.

In just over an hour, everything was done, and County Magistrate Qi handed the roster to Chen Yaqin.

Everyone returned to Zhang Chen's office upstairs in the dynamic zone of Hangzhou. It was Chen Yaqin's first time here. Standing at the window, she looked at her original work place from here. It was like a dream.

Chen Yaqin, Qian Fang and Zhang Chen said: "With so much extra money, I want to give some of it to Lao Meng's sister and parents. Can you agree?"

Zhang Chen, Qian Fang, and Li Yang were all stunned for a moment. Qian Fang nodded and said, "Lao Meng did not misjudge you. You can make your own arrangements."

Zhang Chen remembered it and said with a smile: "Some people got it wrong."

He picked up the phone and called Li Yong and told Li Yong what happened today. Li Yong didn't believe it. He said:

"Really, it went so smoothly? Are all the creditors so upright? Zhang Chen, you didn't lie to me?"

"Of course not, Li Yong. It seems that China is complicated, but there are times when it is not complicated at all." Zhang Chen said, "Li Yong, have you been an official for a long time and become a little out of touch with the masses?"

Li Yong laughed loudly: "Okay, Zhang Chen, your criticism is right, I want to review it."

"Mom, I was wrong too!" Xiao Wu scolded himself on the side.
