Wu Min smiled indifferently and said: "Don't worry about what others say, you do your work well, it's better than anything. Your position in our district is very important, and the burden on your shoulders is very heavy. How is the new rural construction work going? Is it time to go to Shennong Town again and sit down with the town leaders to talk about the specific work in this regard?"

Prompted by Wu Min, Zhao Desan only then thought that he had only been busy giving heroic deeds reports everywhere these days and forgot about the new rural construction work. He hurriedly said: "Yes, I will take time to go to Shennong Town to talk about this work recently."

Wu Min said "Hmm", and then reminded him: "Don't give reports everywhere anymore, be modest and prudent, and work with peace of mind!"

After finishing this call with Wu Min, Zhao Desan forced himself to collect his heart and began to put his mind into work. But not long after Wu Min's phone hung up, the phone rang again, which made Zhao Desan feel a bit irritable for a while, thinking it must be a call inviting him to give a report again. He answered the phone with some impatience, trying to maintain a gentle tone: "Hello! Who is this?"

"Big brother, it's me, Biaozi." Biaozi's long-lost voice came from the phone.

Ever since Biaozi went to break Deputy Mayor Tang's arm for Zhao Desan, he went to other places to avoid the limelight. For more than half a month, Biaozi didn't make a call and lost contact with Zhao Desan, which made Zhao Desan very worried. Suddenly receiving Biaozi's call, Zhao Desan asked eagerly: "Biaozi, where are you? The police didn't suspect you, right?"

Biaozi said proudly: "No, I am at the junction of Yuyang and Inner Mongolia now. Big brother, I saw your heroic deeds of righteous action on the Internet. You have become a celebrity in our Xijing now!"

Zhao Desan didn't expect his heroic deeds to spread so fast, even Biaozi who was running away in Yuyang knew about it. It seems that this matter really had a great impact on him. Zhao Desan was happy in his heart. He smiled proudly, and then got to the point and asked Biaozi: "Biaozi, since there is nothing wrong, the wind has passed, when are you coming back? Let's brothers have a good drink!"

"Big brother, I'm not coming back for the time being." Biaozi's answer made Zhao Desan feel a bit surprised.

"You're not coming back for the time being? Why?" Zhao Desan frowned and asked incomprehensibly.

"Big brother, I called today because I want you to do me a favor." Biaozi said.

Zhao Desan asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Biaozi said: "Big brother, I have met a few friends here now. I found that there are many ways to make money here. Can you lend me some money? I want to do some business here."

When Biaozi fled to Yuyang to avoid the limelight, he came to the junction of Yuyang and Inner Mongolia and found that the consumption level there was very high. Inner Mongolia and Yuyang are both resource-rich places. Yuyang has rich coal resources, while Inner Mongolia not only has rich coal resources, but also underground resources such as natural gas. And when Inner Mongolia's underground resources are transported out, they must pass through Yuyang City. Therefore, in the border area between Yuyang and Inner Mongolia, a market with great commercial value has been formed. In addition, Biaozi met a young Mongolian girl there, and the girl was doing entertainment industry there, which was very profitable, which made Biaozi a bit jealous, and he also wanted to engage in entertainment industry there to make money. After all, compared with Xijing, that place is relatively backward, but there are many people doing resource business there, the consumption level is very high, and the business opportunities are infinite.

"You want to do business? Open a restaurant?" Biaozi once told Zhao Desan that he wanted to open a restaurant, so Zhao Desan asked.

Biaozi said: "No, I want to partner with someone to open a bar, KTV or something. This area is the most profitable for entertainment industry."

Zhao Desan knew better than anyone that places like bars and nightclubs are not something you can open just because you have money. Not only do you need to have a relationship with the government, but you also need rich social relationships, especially the local underworld must be passed. If not, the bar is opened, but the local snake comes to smash the field and collect protection fees every three days. Not to mention making money, it would be good if you didn't get people involved. Therefore, Zhao Desan questioned Biaozi's idea. He smacked his lips and pondered: "Biaozi, if you want to open a restaurant, brother doesn't object, but for places like bars and nightclubs, you must open up the relationship between the underworld and the white world. You should understand this, right? You are a person who ran away from another place, unfamiliar with the place, you'd better not touch it!"

Biaozi insisted: "Big brother, don't worry, the underworld is not a problem. I can be considered to have mixed in society. Besides, I'm not doing it alone. I have also considered this point. I am cooperating with a relatively powerful person locally. Big brother, if you really don't believe it, then you have time to come over to inspect and understand. You will see it for yourself!"

Zhao Desan listened to Biaozi's confidence, thought about it, and said: "Okay, I'll take time to go over and see!"

After the call, Zhao Desan checked the calendar, and it was really a coincidence. In two days, it would be the National Day. He had always wanted to take advantage of this National Day holiday to go back to Yuyang. First, to burn incense and sweep the grave for his father, to pay tribute to the spirits of his parents in heaven. Although his father told Zhao Desan before he died that he was not his biological son, although he still knew nothing about his life experience, this did not affect his parents' status in his heart at all. From childhood to adulthood, his parents always loved him very much, allowing him to spend a beautiful childhood. For him, who his biological parents are is not important. He is a person who knows how to repay kindness.

After two busy days, he finally waited for the National Day holiday. Zhao Desan pushed away all the women's affairs in advance, asked Liu Yue to buy him a sleeper ticket back to Yuyang in advance, simply tidied up his things, left some money for Gao Ying in Biaozi's rented apartment, and got on the train back to Yuyang. The reason why Zhao Desan chose to take the train is that the distance from Yuyang to Xijing is not too close, and driving takes at least three or four hours. After being busy for more than half a year, he is really a bit tired and wants to take advantage of this statutory holiday to have a good rest. Secondly, he wants to sit on the train and enjoy the scenery along the line, so that his mood can be relaxed.

Sitting in the sleeper carriage by the window, Zhao Desan looked at the green mountains and clear waters flashing outside the train window, and felt a rare sense of tranquility in his heart. There is a saying that 'once you enter officialdom, it is as deep as the sea'. Zhao Desan felt that his mood had not been so relaxed for a long time. Sitting on the train back, Zhao Desan suddenly felt a sense of time flowing backwards, reminding him of his university days, attending a third-rate university in Xijing, and taking the train back to Yuyang every winter and summer vacation. It's just that his identity is no longer a college student, but has reached the age of thirty. Although he also met his college roommate a few days ago, the experience that night made him understand that people will change with age. Under the immersion of the big dyeing vat of society, everyone has become unrecognizable. At this moment, Zhao Desan's mood was suddenly a bit sad, feeling his nose a bit sour. He rubbed his eyes, got up and lay on the sleeper, closing his eyes and forcing himself to sleep.

After waking up, the train arrived in Yuyang. Zhao Desan carried a leather bag and got off the train, lit a cigarette. He hadn't been back for several years since he went to Xijing. Suddenly, he had a feeling of returning to his hometown and returning home in glory. It is no exaggeration to say that he is doing very well in Xijing now. Zhao Desan couldn't help but tremble. It's not to say, Yuyang is located in the northernmost part of Hexi Province, bordering Inner Mongolia, and the temperature in the same period is much lower than Xijing. Zhao Desan ignored this point. He only wore a long-sleeved shirt and felt a bit cold. Only then did he put the jacket tucked under his arm on his body, smoking while walking towards the exit.

Biaozi and a big-bearded strong man were already waiting for Zhao Desan at the exit. As soon as he reached the exit, Zhao Desan heard someone calling him: "Big brother!"

Zhao Desan turned around, and Biaozi and a big-bearded strong man walked up. Zhao Desan saw the dress and appearance of this strong man, not like a Han Chinese, because there was an exquisite national knife hanging on his belt.

Biaozi smiled excitedly: "Big brother, you are here, let me introduce, this is a friend I met here, called Almu, Mongolian. Almu, this is the big brother I told you about, just call him Big Brother Liu!"

After Biaozi introduced, Almu reached out to shake hands with Zhao Desan. Zhao Desan saw this kind of ethnic minority man and was really a bit in awe, so he hurriedly reached out to shake hands politely and smiled: "Brother, hello!"

Ouch! Damn, as soon as Zhao Desan's hand shook with Almu, his knuckles were almost crushed by his powerful hand strength, and he couldn't help but scream in pain in his heart.
