Chapter 18

Even in the bustling modern metropolis, there are deep and secluded alleys, which may be hidden behind neon-lit skyscrapers, just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle.

In front of an inconspicuous courtyard in the alley, He Qiupeng stood at the door and looked around anxiously, although it was Secretary Le's invitation, but no matter what, Secretary Le was the leader of Huling, this leader had arrived, but Secretary Jiang was late, and it was a little contemptuous, although Secretary Le didn't say anything, but He Qiupeng could feel that his face seemed to be a little unpleasant.

As Le Anmin's secretary, even if he has not really integrated into Le Anmin's circle, for He Qiupeng, his future has inevitably been tied to Le Anmin, both glory and loss, only if Le Anmin's position is stable, he has a future at all, therefore, even Jiang Yunhui, who has given Secretary Le a headache, has no good impression, and even some rejection.

While he was thinking, a taxi quietly slid over and stopped on the side of the road.

He Qiupeng didn't care too much, although it was secluded here, it was inevitable that cars would often pass by, but when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the people who got off the car, he was stunned for a moment, and then took two or three steps to meet him, grabbed in front of Jiang Yunhui and paid the taxi fee, and said in surprise: "Secretary Jiang, why did you take a taxi over, Xiao Xiao,"

Xiao Xiao's name is Xiao Guohua, and he is Jiang Yunhui's driver.

Jiang Yunhui waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's already off work, so don't bother Xiao Xiao, don't you just come over by taking a taxi, it's just that this place is not easy to find, and the taxi masters have asked all the way, so it's late, Secretary Le has arrived,"

"Well, Secretary Le and Minister Zhu have arrived, Secretary Jiang, please come with me," He Qiupeng politely led the way in front, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, this Jiang Yunhui is inevitably too good at showmanship.

However, the taxi driver looked at Jiang Yunhui and He Qiupeng, who had just walked in, with a surprised face, and only after a while did he say to himself: "What secretary, so young," not to mention, I don't know how many people I see every day in their line of work, and I can see some of them just from their words and demeanor.

The place of eating is arranged by Cheng Han, it looks inconspicuous here, but there is a hole inside, you can see a huge shadow wall when you enter the courtyard, the bright red three-dimensional five-pointed star on the wall breaks into people's eyes, which makes people feel a little caught off guard, and the red star is written under the words "unity is strength," a few big words, enter from the side of the five-pointed star, pass through a dark passage, and come to the inside There is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The portrait of Chairman Mao and the propaganda poster of the young man holding the red treasure book make the ordinary wall full of novel tension, the bricks on the wall are all old green bricks, and they are full of things from that era: oil-paper umbrellas, straw hats with a certain production team written on them, horse lanterns, corn and pepper skewers...... Even the drinking cups on the table are enamel cups that are rare now, and there are some slogans printed on them with the characteristics of the times.

The waitress of the restaurant wears a red head rope, wears a red star hat, and has a red armband on her arm to serve the people, and the waiter wears denim suspenders, dressed as a worker's little brother, and has a portrait of Chairman Mao pinned to her chest.

Although Jiang Yunhui was still young at that time, many memories were also unforgettable, seeing all this, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and I couldn't help but admire these people who did business really have brains, and most of the people who experienced that era are now forty or fifty years old.

Sure enough, there were a lot of customers inside, basically a full table, everyone held the enamel cup with the paint off, drinking happily, most of them were in their forties and fifties, and there were a few in their twenties, which seemed to be rushing for freshness.

He Qiupeng did not stop in the hall, but took Jiang Yunhui straight through the hall, went out through the side door, and then passed through a bamboo forest, and then turned into a seemingly simple thatched house. The posters on the walls are almost all carefully collected genuine products, unlike the ones outside, which are mainly imitations.

And Le Anmin and Zhu Kemin sat on the bench and knocked peanuts, in the middle was a table of eight immortals with some paint off, it looked like it was a few years old, and there was a crack in the middle, and the desktop looked dirty, but the two of them seemed to be completely unaware, but maybe they hadn't sat on such a hard thing for a long time, and they were a little uncomfortable, and they twisted their bodies from time to time.

"I'm sorry to be late, so Secretary Le and Zhu Bu have been waiting for a long time," Jiang Yunhui said apologetically as soon as he entered.

"Hehe, Cao Cao Cao is here, it looks like this person, I really can't say it," Le Anmin smiled slightly, and slowly stretched out his hand, every step was very solid.

Zhu Kemin also smiled and said: "I am talking to Secretary Le, Secretary Jiang is so young, he shouldn't have experienced this, and he should feel very fresh when he sees all this,"

"Hehe, then you are wrong," Jiang Yunhui shook hands with Zhu Kemin again, and said with a smile: "Although I was young at that time, because the family conditions were not very good, I also had to help the family work to earn work, and I had to get up early to help pick up cow dung and the like, and at that time, my favorite was the portrait of Chairman Mao, and it was the happiest time to get one to hang on my chest,"

"Oh, I didn't expect Secretary Jiang to have experienced this, hehe, then we have a common language," Le Anmin said with a smile: "I also came out of the countryside, although the countryside was bitter at that time, but I could always eat enough, if it wasn't for the recruitment later, maybe I would still be farming in the countryside,"

Zhu Kemin smiled and didn't speak, but he was trying to figure out Jiang Yunhui's background, in his mind, Jiang Yunhui could become a department-level cadre and a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee at a young age, and he must have a great background, maybe he is the legendary "Brother Gongzi", but now listening to Jiang Yunhui, he is from the countryside, what is going on.

Chatted a few interesting things about that era, the restaurant began to serve, the dishes are also very distinctive, the utensils containing the dishes are the big earthen bowls of that era, some even collapsed, the dishes are also very characteristic of that era, the big bowl of the bowl, the portion is very sufficient, in addition to the braised pork, back to the pot meat and other meat dishes, the rest are some vegetarian dishes, such as boiled cabbage, white water tofu, the staple food has a nest with corn cobs, and sweet potatoes and other coarse grains.

Things like wotou, in those days, everyone ate to their stomachs, but now it is quite popular as a green and healthy food, of course, the materials and methods of making it must be very different from before, if it is still as rough as before, it is difficult to swallow, even if it is healthy, I am afraid that not many people will eat.

"Well, it tastes good, Secretary Jiang, you taste it," Le Anmin ate with relish, and from time to time beckoned Jiang Yunhui to eat too, Jiang Yunhui was not polite, he had always eaten a lot, and he was not polite in front of Le Anmin, he took a big bite of a nest, and then took a bite of the nest head and a mouthful of food, and ate it very happily.

On the contrary, it is Zhu Kemin, who looks quite big, but he is very handsome when he eats, and there is still a small half left after eating for half a day, and many times he watches Le Anmin and Jiang Yunhui eating, purely to accompany guests.

"Hehe, Secretary Jiang, although I haven't known you for a long time, to be honest, I think you are quite angry with me," Le Anmin chewed something in his mouth, and said boldly, "I am a cheerful person, I was a little unhappy with your arrival at first, and I was a little snub to you, but after a long time, you will understand me as a person, others respect me, I respect others, if you have any ideas and requirements, you can mention them, but if I can do it, I will not let you down,"

Jiang Yunhui was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Le Anmin, who had always been gloomy and known for his scheming and calculation, would show him so straightforwardly, which made him feel a little caught off guard for a while.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Jiang Yunhui took a tissue and wiped his mouth, then looked at Le Anmin sincerely and said: "Secretary Le, what is slacking or not, I haven't thought about it, since Secretary Le is straight to the point, I don't hide it, I don't have other ideas when I come to Huling, I just want to do something well, I don't want to care about the rest, I can't take care of it, but I don't want others to point fingers,"

Le Anmin frowned slightly, and said as if he was a little dissatisfied: "All work must be placed under the leadership of the party, this is a matter of principle,"

Jiang Yunhui regained his flat expression, and said with a faint smile: "Of course, this is for sure, if there is any directional work, I will definitely report to Secretary Le for instructions as soon as possible,"

Le Anmin's face was very ugly, and he felt depressed in his heart, what is directional work, it is not Jiang Yunhui who has the final say, and look at what he means, asking for instructions and reporting is asking for instructions and reporting, but let you not interfere and ask that it is not a naked seizure of power, after so many years of leadership, it is the first time he has seen Jiang Yunhui.

Could it be that he was too talkative, so that Jiang Yunhui was aggressive and inch-in-step,
