Chapter 47 [An Old Man's Investigation] (Part 2)
Chapter 47 [An Lao’s Investigation] (Part 2)
Zhang Yang did not have the need to hide him in this matter. If it weren't for the fire at Hongqi Primary School that alarmed An Zhiyuan, it would not arouse his deep homesickness. An Zhiyuan was an old man who prefers to purify his return home. He did not want to mix too many political and economic factors into it, so he chose this low-key way to come to Heishanzi Township twice. His meeting with Zhang Yang was purely a coincidence. Although Zhang Yang scolded his father in front of him and even mocked him, a respected Hong Kong businessman, An Zhiyuan felt that
Zhang Yang is sincere and frank. He rarely sees such young people in the cadre group in Chunyang and even Jiangcheng. In An Zhiyuan's impression, no mainland officials he had contacted in the past were polite to him. Having used to seeing this stylized politeness and politeness, the old man felt a sense of distance and strangeness. He even found it difficult to find the smell of his hometown in Chunyang and Heishanzi, and it was difficult to find that strong homesickness. His biggest wish this time was to find his father's bone burial place. Unexpectedly, he successfully realized this wish after meeting Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The township attaches great importance to the reconstruction project of Hongqi Primary School this time. All the building materials used are the best. I am the commander-in-chief of this reconstruction project, and I can ensure that there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the project."
An Zhiyuan did not show much interest in the reconstruction project, which made Zhang Yang somewhat disappointed. It seems that most of the county was holding chicken feathers as a command arrow this time, and he cared too much about An Lao's feelings. In fact, they did not care much about the incident at Hongqi Primary School. During this period, Zhang Yang truly felt the true meaning of moving his mouth above and running his legs below.
An Zhiyuan said: "Everyone can do superficial skills. If you want to completely change the backward education situation in Heishanzi Township, it is not possible to solve it by just a few primary schools. This requires leaders to improve their awareness!" He pointed to his head.
Zhang Yang laughed: "Old Old Man, now everything is the economy. Heishanzi Township is backward in its economy. What the people are most concerned about is how to get rich as soon as possible. With money, children can go to better schools and receive better education."
An Zhiyuan immediately realized that Zhang Yang was consciously leading him to the road to economics, and whispered: "I heard that Director Xiao Zhang is the deputy director of the county investment promotion office. Did you say this to me to have the idea of my wallet?" It seems that Mr. An had a deep understanding of Zhang Yang, and even he became the deputy director of the investment promotion office. The news is not ordinary.
An Zhiyuan's frankness made Zhang Yang laugh. He found that although An Lao was over 70 years old, his mind was extremely clear. Facing such a veteran who had been in the shopping mall for many years, there seemed to be no need for his roundabout way of speaking. Zhang Yang said: "Old An, actually, the county really wants you to invest and help your hometown revitalize the economy."
An Zhiyuan nodded and continued to walk forward: "When I came back in 1988, Deputy Mayor Yu of Jiangcheng accompanied me for several days. In Jiangcheng and Chunyang, I was very moved, but after being moved, I felt a sense of strangeness in my heart. I have been away from home for more than 40 years. When I came back, my hometown still remembered that it was a good thing, but the excessive respect of my hometown made me feel that they no longer regard me as Chunyang, as Heishanzi, but as a Hong Kong businessman. That time I did not feel any sense of belonging."
An Zhiyuan stopped, patted the poplar trees beside him, and continued: "It's not that I don't want to invest in my hometown, but as a businessman, I must consider it from a business perspective. Since investment requires benefits, I have to see long-term benefits even if I can't see immediate benefits. Am I a bit too merciful?"
Zhang Yang shook his head, it was understandable that the businessman pursued interests.
An Zhiyuan said: "My father, An Dahuzi, was originally a horse bandit. Everyone knows his reputation in Heishanzi. Last time you said that women still coax their children and even take out An Dahuzi to scare them. That's the truth, that's the truth."
Zhang Yang laughed embarrassedly.
An Zhiyuan said helplessly: "When I came here in 1988, almost everyone talked to me about this history and said that my father was an anti-Japanese hero. In my impression, the image of my old man has never been so glorious and great."
Zhang Yang laughed and An Zhiyuan also laughed: "My father did kill the Japanese devils, but he also robbed the people. He did good things, but he did more bad things. He deified him into an anti-Japanese hero because these cadres wanted to please me. In other words, they did not regard me as their own person at all. They did not sincerely welcome me, an old man who had been away from his hometown for many years, but welcomed my money. If I am a person now, I will see that the whole Jiangcheng, and even Chunyang will not pay attention to me."
Zhang Yang heard that the old man was a little extreme, and felt that he could not always follow his words, and smiled and said, "It is said that returning home in glory will bring glory to his ancestors. If Old An is a person who is not a polite person, I think you are embarrassed to come back."
An Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, and then laughed again. Zhang Yang's straightforwardness made him have a good impression of this young man. He didn't know that Zhang Daren saw that he was a person who didn't like to listen to flattery words. He suppressed him the right symptoms and deliberately used words to stimulate him.
Zhang Yang said: "There is something I don't know if it's said or not."
An Zhiyuan encouraged him to continue with his eyes.
Zhang Yang said: "No matter whether you are a man, a woman, a young, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, as long as you are a person, you want to gain a sense of satisfaction and respect. I think you are not immune to the vulgarity. It is certainly a reason for you to come to Heishanzi Township to find your roots in old age, but another reason is that you want your achievements to be recognized by the people in your hometown."
An Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I am already in my seventies, so how can I have such great vanity!"
Zhang Yang recognized that Old Man An was pretending to behave, and he continued: "Vii is not about age. Many old men are obviously unhealthy, but they still want to marry a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. Why do you think? It is to satisfy your vanity." He indirectly suggested the old man. Recently, he saw An Zhiyuan and a Hong Kong lady in an entertainment magazine. This is not Zhang Yang's rashness, but he found that this old man seemed to like others to stimulate him. This is a mentality of abuse. Perhaps there are more people holding him. When he met a sarcastic person who sarcasticated him, he became interested. Don't you like to be abused? Today, coincidence, I, Zhang Daren, like to abuse others the most, you are accused of it.
Old An smiled and said, "It makes sense to hear what you said."
Zhang Yang said: "Take you as an example. You are doing well in Hong Kong, making a lot of money, and having a reputation. Hong Kong has better conditions than our Chunyang. Why do you still work hard and run to this mountain valley?"
"Homesickness!" Old An sighed.
"I think you always want to show off!"
An Zhiyuan widened his eyes, and his words were indifferent: "I have seen through fame and fortune, and I don't care what others think."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You said you are not familiar with the place in Hong Kong alone. You have made a fortune. Who knows? Others respect you because you are rich, but it is different when you are in your hometown. Others know that you are the son of a bandit. You start from scratch and you have started from scratch. Others respect you because you have the ability. Even your father has respected you. Now many people in Chunyang say that having children should be like An Zhiyuan, and being a thief should be a big beard!"
An Zhiyuan knew that he was talking nonsense, but he couldn't help laughing. One thing Zhang Yang said was right. The reason why he came back was not just to find his roots. He also wanted to gain the recognition of his hometown people. When he returned home in glory, who could really not care?
An Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I finally understand why I chose you as the deputy director of the investment promotion office. It's a pity that I don't do public relations."
Zhang Yang said: "Actually, the county wants to invest in Old Old, but it is not intended to take advantage of you. The old man just delivered a speech on the southern tour a few days ago. The county has unprecedented policies and preferential policies. I think there are more investments in Chunyang, and you are not the only successful people who have gone out of Chunyang."
An Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Yang calmly, "Damn it, this little bastard is using a provocation method to me."
Zhang Yang said: "But you are old and famous, and you are an advanced model of Hong Kong businessmen erected in the city in the past, so you must focus your work on you."
An Zhiyuan was unhappy: "What does it mean to be famous?"
Zhang Yang smiled with a hint of embarrassment and contempt. It was still an old problem. The scale was not well controlled. He took too much of this contemptuous component, which seemed to be disrespectful to Mr. An. The following words made Mr. An angrily. The guy looked around and lowered his voice: "Now many people rumored that Mr. An didn't want to invest, but his strength...what..."
"Is it useless for others to say it..." An Zhiyuan said angrily, realizing that he was trapped by this kid, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "It's useless for you to say it!"
Zhang Yang sighed inwardly that An Zhiyuan is not only an old fox, but also a stingy person. It seems that it is very difficult to count on him to invest in his hometown.
While the two were talking, An Zhiyuan's granddaughter walked out of the toilet in the northwest corner. The girl was still wrapped tightly like that day. She wore a black baseball cap on her head, sunglasses stuck on her face, a small black jacket, a stone-milled blue jeans, and black high-waisted outdoor shoes on her feet. She looked like a masked thief, and had a sense of mystery and a wild taste, but she didn't have the temperament of a famous lady? Just talking about her outfit, she looked like a wild boy, and it didn't match the word "taste".
An Zhiyuan smiled and introduced to him: "My granddaughter An Yuchen!"
"Last time I heard you call her Yao'er..."
"That's a nickname!"
An Yuchen's eyes stared at Zhang Yang coldly through her sunglasses. She had no affection for Zhang Yang. Last time, she heard this guy ridicule her great-grandfather, grandfather, and even the entire An family on Qingyun Peak. The impression she left her was not only annoying but also mean.
However, Master Zhang did not realize that he was staring at him and greeted him politely: "Hello Miss An!"
An Yuchen ignored him at all and came to his grandfather: "Grandpa, the environment here is so dirty." She had just been to the dry toilet here and was extremely dissatisfied with the hygiene here.
Zhang Yang felt a little unhappy when he heard the word "dirty". He thought to himself, why are you talking nonsense about your little girl? This toilet has not been officially launched yet, and it was also made by you. This guy was whispering in his heart, but he kept a polite expression on his face. After all, he is a distinguished guest.
An Zhiyuan patted the back of her hand and smiled: "My hometown is still poor and backward."
"That's not uncommon! There is no toilet in the bathroom!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's much better. Now the people know how to use toilet paper. In the past, they used to wipe their butts with newspapers!" This guy was thinking that he was disgusting and An Yuchen came.
An Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Director Xiao Zhang said it well. When we were young, we didn't have so many toilets. Once we were in a hurry, no one would be able to burrow in the ridges and rivers. Not to mention toilet paper, newspapers can't be found. Leaves! Mud blocks, what to catch, what I now have, my hemorrhoids are the roots left at that time."
An Yuchen only shouted disgusting.
Zhang Yang and An Zhiyuan laughed, and this incident aroused the childish interest that An Zhiyuan had long forgotten.
Zhang Yang found that this wealthy Hong Kong businessman who is highly respected and not easy to approach in the legendary world, and his words were also funny. Seeing his simple dress and amiable smile, he looked like an ordinary ordinary person, and he had no super rich temperament. If he had not known his true identity before, he would not have been able to connect with the super rich in any case.
An Zhiyuan proposed to ask Zhang Yang to accompany him to Shangqinghe Village. He wanted to inquire about some things. An Zhiyuan and his grandson also drove a jeep. It was worse than Zhang Yang's one. He said that it was a used car bought in Chunyang and cost more than 8,000 yuan. Zhang Yang knew it in his mind. Zhao Xinwei gave him a lot of favor, probably not just to thank him for treating Zhao Xinhong.
An Zhiyuan secretly came to Chunyang from Jiangcheng this time, and did not intend to alarm the leaders of Chunyang County too early. Naturally, he gave Zhang Yang a lot of instructions. Zhang Yang did not intend to let too many people know about An Lao's affairs. This is more suitable for An Lao's ideological work. As long as he can make Old Man An happy and invest a little more, he, the deputy director of the investment promotion office, will be accomplished.
