Chapter 26: 120,000 First Aid
Xu Si's house and car in Jingsheng Garden were all given to her by Xinfeng Group. Her Shatian was a city village left over from the early urban construction of Haizhou. Zhang Ke followed the address and found Xu Si's family. A small courtyard deep in the alley. The walls of the courtyard were peeled off and the traces of corrosion of rainwater by the two wooden doors were very serious. Zhang Ke looked in through the cracks of the door. The yard was very small and filled with green potted plants. Zhang Ke knocked on the door and saw a middle-aged man walking into the yard. Zhang Ke saw his photos from the archives. He was Xu Si's father Xu Haishan, a technical worker at the city agricultural machinery factory. Xu Si's mother followed him out and looked at the expressions on their faces. He was obviously frightened by someone knocking on the door.
"You are..." Xu Haishan was a little confused when he saw that he was a half-year-old boy.
"Sister Xu Si told me to come..." Zhang Ke took advantage of Xu Si's father's hesitation and squeezed into the crack of the door. "Sister Xu Si didn't tell Xu Wei about Xu Si's affairs, right? For the cost of Xu Wei's surgery, Sister Xu Si did some things. She felt very sorry for you. She regretted it very much. She was taking the initiative to explain the problem to the task force. Of course, she could hand over the money that Sister Xu Si had brought back to the country, which would be beneficial to Sister Xu Si's efforts to get leniency..."
Xu Si's father looked suspicious, and Xu Si's mother was much simpler. After hearing what Zhang Ke said, tears and snot came down: "The child's illness has caused trouble to the eldest child. She is a very good child, and she has never considered herself. She is only twenty-three years old. How should she live in the future? Relatives, friends, and neighbors have asked for it, and she has only raised 150,000 yuan. Her father is thinking about selling kidneys, but someone has to buy it..."
"Oh, that's how it is!" Zhang Ke patted his forehead. Seeing Xu Si's father staring at him vigilantly, he hurriedly left the yard. Listening to Xu Si's mother's crying loudly, he walked out of the narrow alley. Some people kept poking their heads out of the alley. Seeing that it was a half-grown boy, they all retracted their heads.
Zhang Ke called his uncle Zhang Zhifei at the entrance of the alley. After he and his father joined the task force, he had not had time to meet his uncle.
"Uncle, where are you?"
"I was in the city and called Mayor Tang, saying that he was treating him to dinner at night, haha... how could he ask Mayor Tang to dinner?" I could hear that his uncle Zhang Zhifei was very excited on the other end of the phone. His construction company had not yet left Dongshe County. At this moment, Tang Xueqian was treating him to dinner, which was not enough for him to stay away from sleep for three days? "I just called your father and said that you have returned to Haizhou. What's the matter? You can't say anything at night?"
"I need some money, the number is quite large. Do you think it's OK. Can you send it to Shatin now? Don't tell my dad about this."
"What? Xiaoke, are you okay?"
When Zhang Ke heard his uncle's voice on the phone increased by octave instantly, he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's not kidnapped. This is for emergency use, and I borrowed it."
"Oh, you kid wants to scare your uncle to death," Zhang Zhifei took a breath on the other end of the phone, "How much does it cost? I'll send it to you right away."
"Ten hundred and twenty thousand."
"What's the matter? Is it so much money?" Zhang Zhifei took a breath from the other end of the phone. You should know that in 1994, a newly graduated college student entered an ordinary public institution and his monthly salary was only about 200 yuan.
Zhang Ke knew that my uncle was very happy to do engineering projects in Dongshe over the years and would not have much money on hand. Even if he performed well these days, it would be unlikely that my uncle would have to give 120,000 yuan in an unknown way.
Zhang Ke said, "Uncle, I'm in Shatian. You withdraw money and I'll tell you the matter."
After waiting in Shatin for more than half an hour, Zhang Ke saw his uncle Zhang Zhifei's Jetta car coming late, so he opened the car door and sat in.
"I've got the money," Zhang Zhifei saw his nephew's calm expression and looked at it carefully, without any abnormality. "If you don't have a good excuse, you can't give this money to you."
Being able to do this shows that my performance over the past few days left a deep impression on my uncle. Zhang Ke curled his lips and smiled, not in a hurry to ask my uncle, "What are the plans for becoming a guest of honor for Deputy Mayor Tang?"
"What nonsense?" Zhang Zhifei parked the car on the curb, "Tell me about you quickly."
"You haven't planned it well if Tang Xueqian wants to become mayor. Do you still want to hide in Dongshe and make small fuss?"
"Who said Tang Xueqian wanted to be mayor?"
"Who will be the secretary of Zhou Fuming, but Tang Xueqian is not the mayor?"
"How is it possible? Tang Xueqian is second to the last in the municipal party committee. There are three members of the Standing Committee between him and Zhou Fuming, so it's not his turn." Zhang Zhifei didn't think there was anything strange about discussing this topic with his nephew, and just wanted to refute him.
"Tang Xueqian was almost imprisoned. It was one thing that Ding Xiangshan set up a situation and framed it. It was also a factor that the province was bewitched by Ding Xiangshan. This time the officialdom in Haizhou was turmoil. Will the province think of taking the opportunity to compensate him? Second, who hopes Zhou Fuming can form a team? Tang Xueqian was injured and Zhou Fuming enjoyed his success. We all know in our hearts." Zhang Ke analyzed the situation with his uncle with his fingers, "Last time you went back to Haizhou with Tang Xueqian and the others, didn't Zhou Fuming pick you up at the intersection of the expressway? This is Zhou Fuming's attitude."
"It's really possible after hearing what you said," Zhang Zhifei nodded, "Your dad should be able to move up this time."
"You didn't see my father working hard in the task force? It's not natural to make progress. Don't talk about my father first. He will make progress. He is still far away from the mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee."
"Maybe I'll go down to be the county party secretary, the county magistrate." Zhang Zhifei looked longing.
"Just build all the houses in Dongshe County for you. How much can you touch?" Zhang Ke looked contemptuous, "Build a house, as long as the house is not demolished for a day, you have to be responsible for its quality all day. If you want to touch more money, it will turn into a tofu project. This tofu project is a bomb that is not fixed. Maybe when you are most proud of your life, it will suddenly explode..."
"Go, go, your uncle looks like a shoddy project?"
"Then my uncle can satisfy the income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year?" Zhang Ke looked at my uncle and knew that his heart should have been wild these days. "There are many more opportunities in the city than in Dongshe County. My uncle is not in his heart. I don't believe it. Does my uncle want to transfer the company to the city, but he is afraid that it will be too anxious and will be bad on the surface? You have the same moral character as my father. He is still shy and embarrassed, sorry, afraid that others will not understand. If you want to do it, do it. While Tang Xueqian has not yet become the mayor, you can move the company to the city, so that it will look better on the surface.
Business is nothing more than human relationships. Tang Xueqian will not understand and need you to cover it up. But Tang Xueqian and Ding Xiangshan are not the number one person. Even if Tang Xueqian wants to help you, he still wants you to be worthy of help. So if you want to be good, you must first sharpen your tools. How about Dongshe dialect? Without that diamond, don’t take care of that porcelain work. If you want to continue to do engineering in the city, you must build a team. You must not lack personnel, qualifications, technology, and equipment. If you spill money, don’t be afraid of not being able to take it back. You are in the countryside team of Dongshe. I think Tang Xueqian really won’t like it..."
Zhang Zhifei's eyes were lit. He was so excited these days that he had a hazy thought in his mind, but he couldn't think about it. He didn't expect to call his nephew and open the skylight. He felt a sudden enlightenment. What to do next, and his ideas were clear. Zhang Zhifei wanted to go out his hands and feet now, but he really didn't want to continue to be in the small corner of Dongshe.
"I have always admired you, envying him for having a belly and quality, and now I envy him the most, like you," Zhang Zhifei handed Zhang Ke the file bag on the dashboard, "Give it to you, 120,000."
"Don't ask why?"
"No. I found something, you can understand more clearly than me. The more you ask, the more you look like I am not good at my uncle. If you want to use this money to help others, there must be your reason."
"Then you drive me over and go in from the alley..." Seeing that my uncle was not completely relieved, Zhang Ke opened the file bag and looked at it, pointed at the way, and asked my uncle to drive over, "I borrowed this money from you."
"Don't remember it in your heart. Just help my uncle with more staff when you have time."
Zhang Ke thought to himself: I'm not at a disadvantage. When I returned to 1994, my vision was really not comparable to that of others. But I was still very moved that my uncle could trust me so much.
