Negotiate
The place Li Shulin was looking for was not in the ordinary remote place. It turned around. Zhang Feng walked for more than 20 minutes and found this small restaurant in a remote alley. The door face of the small restaurant was very small, only hanging. There is a gray cloth curtain, and there is no plaque on the forehead of the door, only the three words "Cooking Restaurant" are written on the side of the door with yellow paper, and there is no other sign.
This small alley is actually quite famous in the county town. It is one of the old towns in Zhou'an County that has not yet been renovated. It has a history of more than a hundred years. If it is not for the indigenous people of the county, you will never find the way by the street name alone. Almost all around here are old houses, and the courtyard is deep, even if they are all surrounded by yellow brick walls, but what is inside is definitely not what ordinary people can imagine.
Lifting the curtain, a rush of heat wrapped in the faint aroma of vegetables rushed towards him, Zhang Feng involuntarily took a deep breath, and then looked around for a few times. This is barely the front hall of the restaurant, which is not small but extremely narrow. There were only two dining tables, leaving a narrow aisle more than one meter wide, and the remaining area was the kitchen. Although it had been separated by a glass window, the fragrance inside could not be blocked.
A dozen or so chefs in white coats and white hats are busy working in the kitchen. The pots and pans are clanging but not cluttered. On the contrary, it makes people feel extremely pleasing. From time to time, there are waiters from time to time. The exit inside came out with a plate, but went straight to the end of the pedestrian passage. Obviously, the customer was not here, but inside. Zhang Feng was taken aback first, and then he smiled.
This place looks more like the back door of a restaurant. It is unbelievable to put it in future generations. Zhang Feng was wondering how to find the place that Li Shulin had reserved, but when he saw a waitress approaching and greeted him: "Sir, how many?"
Zhang Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Well, I have already booked a place, and a friend named Li came to book it."
The waitress smiled upon hearing the words: "Your surname is Zhang, right? Uncle Li is already waiting in the elegant room, please come with me." Obviously, the waitress knew Li Shulin and was very familiar with it, so she waited at the door. Zhang Feng is now, this makes Zhang Feng quite curious. After all, Li Shulin is not an aboriginal in Zhou'an County. How can he have acquaintances in such a place? Zhang Feng can't help but think about it. He is more suspicious now than before.
At the end of the passage is a small courtyard with a small garden in the middle. The modern atmosphere here is much richer. There are several stainless steel stairs around which lead to the upper floors, but the waiter leads Zhang Feng. Going through the small garden and entering the second house, it is much more spacious than the hall in front. The whole hall is three to four hundred square meters full of square tables. The guests are also 70% to 80%, but not that much. It is noisy, and the temperament of these people is not like ordinary traffickers and pawns, they should all be relatively high-end people.
Like the previous hall, the passage to the backyard here is still separated from the middle of the restaurant with glass, and it is still one-way glass. Guests eating in the restaurant can’t see the passage. Zhang Feng was surprised and didn’t know what it was. This cooking restaurant is really not small. Depending on the situation, the business seems to be no worse than the big restaurant on the main street, or even worse.
After passing through the second entrance, it is still a garden, but it is much more generous than the small garden in front, and there are four small moon gates around. Zhang Feng followed the waiter through the moon gate on the left and walked again More than fifty meters, passing by a small vegetable garden, and seeing Li Shulin standing in front of an old-fashioned house from a distance, Zhang Feng couldn't help but sigh, fortunately how Li Shulin found such a good place.
This is a very ordinary old-fashioned house, with earthen walls and clay tiles, solid wood doors and windows, and dark red paint. Even in the countryside, this pattern is rarely seen. While looking at it, he said to Li Shulin: " I wonder if we two have lost a lot of things. Why are you not as familiar with the county seat as you? If you hadn't walked there in person, you wouldn't know that there is such a place in North Street."
Li Shulin let Zhang Feng into the house and said with a smile: "Do you have time to eat and drink a day? This place is actually very famous in the county."
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly. Which day did he not eat and drink? I spend most of the time on the wine table, but I don’t pay much attention to it, and I rarely talk about eating and drinking with people. It’s also very monotonous to entertain guests in the county. If it is not the canteen of the county party committee or the Yue of Donghe Town Binlou, there are very few other places, even if it is a small trick of the county party committee, it is rarely visited, let alone such a place.
The outside of the house is a shell of Tubula, but the decoration inside is very generous. It is covered with beautiful floor tiles, the walls are all porcelain veneers, and there are many exquisite oil paintings inlaid. The house is divided into inside and outside. In the suite, there are also daily necessities such as beds and bedding. If you don’t know that this is a restaurant, everyone will treat it as entering the bedroom. What makes Zhang Feng speechless the most is that the tile oil paintings on the wall are all naked girls. .
The two sat cross-legged on the kang, with a square mahogany table in the middle, four cold dishes, four stir-fry dishes, and a nest of three fresh fish soup in the middle, squeezing the table tightly, and it was really hard to put it down. Otherwise, it will continue to the upper end. There is a tray of fresh milk on the table next to it, which is never indispensable white wine. I haven't seen it today. Obviously, Li Shulin didn't want to get drunk and go out.
Zhang Feng said, "This place is really good, but it's a bit weird..."
Li Shulin laughed and said, "What do you do with so much? As long as they don't violate the law and discipline."
Zhang Feng shook his head. He didn't believe that it was just a restaurant. The decoration in the back house was a bit weird, but since Li Shulin didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask more, at least from the current situation. This is still a relatively simple and ingenious small restaurant. You can never see the wind or the rain, so don't let people live.
Pointing at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, Li Shulin said, "Try it first. The craftsmanship here is absolutely top-notch. You want to come next time."
Zhang Feng nodded and said: "Just look at and smell it, and you know that the craftsmanship is not bad. If it is on the street, I am afraid that it will be the best."
Li Shulin shook his head, and said: "Not necessarily, the street is more suitable for large-scale goods, and the truly exquisite ones have to come to this kind of place."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Is there anything going on this afternoon? If it's all right, let's have a few drinks."
Li Shulin said: "It's nothing, but I plan to see Chen *** at night, for fear of delaying things."
When Zhang Feng heard the words, he condensed slightly, sighed, and said, "Then have some beer." Li Shulin's words evoked something of his mind. At the beginning, Zhou Ruiying was asked to help get the remaining half immortal out, and he was originally directed at Chen Jingyuan. As a result, Yu Banxian passed on something from his head directly to him, and then he died after returning home. Zhang Feng wanted to eat all those things himself. It is estimated that he hasn't been in for more than ten or twenty years, and the door hasn't been there.
Therefore, to make Chen Jingyuan sober, Zhang Feng didn’t have the slightest confidence. Don’t say he was treating Chen Jingyuan during this period. He didn’t even go to visit him, and the phone with Chen Huishan was disconnected for several days, thinking about himself. Recently, Zhang Feng couldn't help but sink in his heart, feeling a little bad, so he casually asked Li Shulin to ask for a box of beer.
There was a bell specifically calling the waiter in the room. When Zhang Feng said he wanted to drink, Li Shulin shook his head slightly and asked the waiter to deliver a box of ginkgo beer. It was late autumn and the weather was cold. Naturally, the beer didn’t need to be chilled. It happened that after a few bottles of wine, the topic naturally opened. Li Shulin sighed and said, "I don't know when Chen's condition will get better."
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly. The relationship between Li Shulin and Chen Jingyuan is not only related to relatives, but also very obvious in the official career. Without Chen Jingyuan's help, it is very difficult for Li Shulin to make progress. Maybe, this will be the end of his life. So far, although he can't see that he wants to improve, he cares about Chen Jingyuan, but even Chen Jingyuan's children are not as good as Chen Jingyuan's children.
After pouring a glass of wine into his throat, Zhang Feng said, "What's the situation in the hospital?"
Li Shulin said, "It's still the same, continue to hang the bottle, observe, and hang it with ginseng." His wife was taking care of Chen Jingyuan in the hospital. Naturally, she knew that Zhang Feng had not been to the hospital recently. It's natural to ask such a question. He knew that Zhang Feng and Chen Huishan were talking about the subject, but he didn't know how the two were progressing, nor did he know Zhang Feng's somewhat messy private life, and he was still wondering when he could drink wedding wine.
Zhang Feng also sighed and said: "Ji people have their own physiognomy. Since the hospital said so, there is still a possibility of getting better. Wait a minute, maybe she will wake up soon, and Shanshan has always been Studying new medicine..." After a slight pause, Zhang Feng frowned, and then turned away from the topic: "Don't talk about this, did you have any eyebrows when investigating the affairs of Beihe Township last time?"
Because Beihe Township had flattened the cornfield in advance, Zhang Feng mentioned to Li Shulin and asked him to check to see if there was any place to play. At that time, because there were a lot of concerns, I just checked and didn’t take it down completely. The meaning of Beihe Township was different now. Now that he had the mind to leave Zhou'an County, Zhang Feng simply put aside his scruples and played a set of combined punches first.
Li Shulin didn’t know Zhang Feng’s plan. He frowned when he heard that, and said, “It’s all obvious things. What can I check?” After a pause, he sighed and said, “The key is the attitude of the county. As long as you want to check, there are not a few clean butts, the difference is only the severity, but the Han *** from Beihe Township is a bit too silly. This was the problem when he used to be in Donghe Town."
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Is the economic problem big?"
Li Shulin thought for a moment before he said, "If you count all the things in Donghe Town before, it will definitely be enough to be shot. However, he is not greedy for the money alone. There are too many people involved, and many people have already worked in other places. The mutual involvement is an extremely large network of relationships. It can be troublesome to move. If you don't get it right, you won't even be able to touch one in the end, and you have to provoke a commotion."
Zhang Feng was stunned when he heard the words. From Li Shulin's words, it is not difficult to hear that he was actually very careful about the case in Beihe Township, and he found a lot of unknown things, which made him not admire him. Li Shulin was two people. The one who only came down from above a few years ago was replaced by his predecessor who was extremely *** Li Xiao, who was not a native of Zhou'an County. It is certainly not easy to find out the details in such a short period of time.
Li Shulin sighed and said, "If Chen *** was here, this case would not require much effort at all, and it's hard to say now."
Zhang Feng shook his head. It's just a township. Is it necessary? Chen Jingyuan has to do it? I look down on a town too much. However, Li Shulin’s choking revealed a more pervasive information. If the case is investigated, the people involved may have a large background. If it is found by the county, maybe It will attract interference from all quarters, and no one is standing there, even if it’s a township, it’s not easy to move.
Li Shulin filled the glasses of both of them with wine, and said: "I have saved all the information specially. No one knows the details except the people who participated in the investigation. When you are interested, you can check it out for yourself." He didn't take it. Zhang Feng was an outsider, and even said such things that violated the policy.
Zhang Feng nodded, and said, "You can sort it out and give me all the relevant materials."
Li Shulin just froze for a moment and smiled: "No problem, it's actually all sorted things, and you can watch them at any time." He didn't ask Zhang Feng what he wanted these things for, and didn't want to know how Zhang Feng plans to use them. In fact, the Han *** in Beihe Township has little to do with the current county party committee and the county head. For Zhang Feng, it is not very useful.
Zhang Feng picked up the cup, touched Li Shulin, and said, "There is still something to trouble my brother today."
Li Shulin said "Oh", feeling a little strange in his heart, but he still said: "If you need help, please speak up. As long as you can do it, there is no other thing." Not to mention Zhang Feng's current status, both of them are both with you. With Chen Jingyuan's family relationship, Li Shulin felt that he should go all out to help Zhang Feng, and Chen Jingyuan had given him a similar order when he was still in trouble.
Zhang Feng said with an "um", thinking: "Several bureaus in the county have organized people to travel these days, do you know this?"
Li Shulin twitched at the corner of his lips and said, "Of course I know. Xu *** once said hello to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but no one signed up for the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Zhang Feng smiled upon hearing this, and said, "Brother, you are cutting off people and money. Are you afraid that it will be difficult to suppress the following?"
Li Shulin laughed out loud and said: "Where is there a free lunch in the world? Inexplicably, what kind of welfare do you enjoy?"
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "You can follow this matter."
Li Shulin frowned and groaned: "This is what Xu *** did, okay?"
After all, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection still has to be under the leadership of the County Party Committee, and is not qualified to investigate the County Party Committee. Li Shulin doesn’t need to ask, knowing that Xu Yuan’s roots are in Xu Yuan’s body, so let him go with this case. Isn’t this nonsense? I found something, which is not very useful. Therefore, the look at Zhang Feng reveals a somewhat weird look. No wonder I have to come here to talk privately.
Zhang Feng was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you know where the expenses come from?"
Li Shulin shook his head and said, "There is no one on the Commission for Discipline Inspection, so naturally no one will be reimbursed. Of course I don't know. Well, isn't it in the county?"
The corners of Zhang Feng's lips curled up slightly and said: "The county medicinal material company is responsible for paying the various expenses, um, do you know the situation of the medicinal material company?"
Li Shulin was stunned when he heard the words, holding a glass of wine and fell silent. If he talked about the county medicinal material company before, perhaps Li Shulin didn’t know that the medicinal material company’s door opened there, but now it’s different. The medicinal material company is in charge of Zhang’s Pharmaceutical Factory. The medicinal material planting and recycling project in Zhou'an County is a project that makes the whole county concerned. In order to compete for the planting quota, I don't know how many weird things have happened, such as the one in Beihe Township.
At the beginning, Zhang Feng asked him to investigate the head of the *** township in Beihe Township. It was because of the competition for planting indicators that the moth came out. As for the details of the county medicinal material company, Li Shulin naturally did a very detailed investigation. As soon as he heard about the county medicinal material company, he knew that it was another troublesome thing. Once the county medicinal material company had a problem, the consequences would be very serious, and it would even affect the county's planting situation next year.
He took a cigarette and lit it, and took a light sip. Li Shulin sighed and said, "You are pushing me toward the fire pit!"
Zhang Feng said: "Why? It's not something that violates the principles. Well, let's start with the medicinal material company."
Li Shulin pondered: "This matter has to be supported by the above, otherwise, there will be no results."
Zhang Feng said: "What kind of support is needed?"
Li Shulin pondered for a while before saying: "It's good to be immune to interference from all aspects."
Zhang Feng curled his lips and said, "You're too broad, right? If you really want to, you still have to come here to tell you? Go straight to the office!"
Li Shulin twitched his lips and said, "Well, that would have to get support from the county. You don’t know how much impact the project done by the medicinal material company is. If something goes wrong, no one can afford it. The county If someone takes this big hat down, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will not be able to stand it."
Zhang Feng said: "I'm asking you to investigate privately first, and talk about it after you have the evidence, do you understand?"
Li Shulin shook his head: "How can you hide it from others? If you do something like this, the city will be full of ups and downs immediately, and it will even affect Chinese herbal medicine growers in the county. Moreover, the project of the medicinal material company is endorsed by the county government. The beginning of the investigation also has a great impact on the county government. I have to think about it in advance, or I should talk to the county magistrate Tan first?"
Zhang Feng turned his gaze on Li Shulin and said in deep thought, "What if you can get support from the provinces and cities?"
Li Shulin was taken aback, and said, "The support of the province and city? Is it the province or the city?"
Zhang Feng said: "What's the difference?" The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has replaced Chen Nan, and the city has almost reshuffled the cards. Moreover, Chen Nan is a peripheral member of the Yu family camp. Zhang Feng wants his support. It's easy, but he has always hidden this level of relationship very well, and the people who know it are very limited. As long as Chen Nan supports it, the city is nothing at all.
Li Shulin started to figure it out. If the city could support it, there would be nothing to investigate this case. A little collection of evidence would allow Xu Yuan to double the rules, and then it would be very convenient to investigate again, but if it is really necessary, Zhang Why should Feng be so careful
He didn’t know that Zhang Feng’s support referred to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, not the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government or the Provincial Party Committee. If that was the case, he asked Li Shulin to check the fart, directly transferred Xu Yuan to the post, and sent him to investigate. It’s not just a check.
After pondering for a moment, although he hasn't figured out the reason, Li Shulin knows that the terms are about to be negotiated. If he evades, he will be really upset if Zhang Feng is afraid. After all, the two are not an ordinary cooperative relationship. Those conditions actually reminded Zhang Feng and asked him to think more about it, which is almost a means of checking for omissions and filling vacancies.
Zhang Feng didn’t get too entangled in this matter either. Li Shulin’s words really reminded him that since this matter is to be done, it must be done seamlessly, and it must not be left to others. Not only must it communicate with Tan Jinghan, but also with Tan Jinghan. Xu Yuan talked about it. After all, he was responsible for the project of the medicinal material company. Xu Yuan's approach was not only digging the wall, but also fighting on the face with open fire. He naturally didn't want to be polite.
Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Feng pondered and said: "What you said makes sense, um, let Donghe Town take care of the liaison work for the pharmaceutical factory first. All matters related to the planting and recycling of medicinal materials will be handled first. Hezhen took responsibility. After all, they were the first to deal with the pharmaceutical factory. In this way, the cultivation and promotion of medicinal materials in the county would not be affected."
Li Shulin was overjoyed when he said, “It’s the best to be able to do this, which is tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the pot, which directly eliminates the future troubles, but this has to be done by the pharmaceutical factory, I am afraid that they are not willing." He didn’t know what Zhang’s pharmaceutical factory actually was. Zhang Feng’s, otherwise he wouldn’t think so, but the ideas he put forward inspired Zhang Feng to make this matter even more watertight.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "This is not difficult. Originally, I personally discussed this project when I was a *** in Donghe Town. As long as the pharmaceutical factory does not affect their interests, it will naturally cooperate with our work. "After pondering for a while, Zhang Feng continued: "You don't have to worry about being disturbed, I will communicate with County Chief Tan and Xu ***."
Speaking of communicating with Tan Jinghan, Zhang Feng naturally remembered the scene of eating snake soup in the office that night, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
