Chapter 228: Misfortune Follows Happiness

The news that I was going to transfer was spreading like wildfire in Suxi Town. Before I returned to the township, phone calls were like hail, one after another.

Coming out of Jin Ling's house, I decided to be single-minded and head straight to the bus station.

When I asked at the window, I found out that the last bus to Chunshan County had just left, and the earliest bus was at seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

I kicked the stainless steel railing dejectedly, and with a clatter, everyone waiting for the bus looked at me.

I bought a bottle of mineral water, drank more than half of it in one breath, took out my phone, and called Qian Youyu.

Qian Youyu heard that I was at the long-distance bus station and told me not to move, he would be there soon.

After hanging up the phone, I leaned against the pillar of the newsstand and flipped through a small newspaper. In a few minutes, I heard a horn sound beside me, and then I saw Qian Youyu sticking half his head out of the car window, smiling at me.

"The sky is about to get dark, still leaving?" He threw me a pack of cigarettes.

I looked at the sky and checked the time on my phone, saying: "It's still early, there are still more than two hours before dark."

"How about we set off early tomorrow morning? Old brother invites you to have some fun tonight?"

Qian Youyu spitting out the word "fun" made me unable to help but laugh, and I laughed loudly, cursing: "You old guy, still chasing fashion, still fun, fun my ass."

"Who said I'm old?" Qian Youyu rolled up his sleeves: "Look, have muscles, right."

"That's a lump of waste meat." I carefully identified it and said: "Maybe you can fool little girls."

"Who said that?" Qian Youyu stared and said: "Yue Bai said it was muscles, but you said it was waste meat, what do you mean? Look down on old brother?"

I shook my head and said: "It's not looking down on you. I'm just telling the truth."

Qian Youyu laughed, put down his sleeves awkwardly, patted the steering wheel and said: "Driving at night, the visibility is not good, it's dangerous."

"Still saying you're not old." I provoked him.

Qian Youyu was provoked by me and shouted: "You are in such a hurry to go back, is the fire burning the latrine?"

"The fire didn't burn the latrine, but the fire burned my eyebrows." I said: "I have to go back to handle the handover procedures, it's the last day."

"What handover procedures?" Qian Youyu looked at me vigilantly: "Hiding it from old brother me?"

I smiled faintly and said: "I have been transferred to the Highway Headquarters."

"What do you mean? You are not the town mayor of Suxi anymore?"

"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that the organization needs me to go to another position." I sighed, pretending to be helpless.

"Fart!" Qian Youyu cursed: "What's the difference! You officials only know how to get promoted, how can you care about the life and death of us common people."

"What are you talking about?" I frowned, wanting to scold him, but swallowed the words to my mouth. Damn it, offending him, I can't return to Chunshan tonight.

"Let me ask you one thing, is it true or false?" Qian Youyu looked at me suspiciously.

"If it's true, what then? If it's false, what then?" I looked at him with a sneer.

"If it's true, the mineral water factory in Suxi doesn't need to be done either. You are gone, I am still in Suxi, waiting to die? If it's false, I have something to say." Qian Youyu parked the car on the side of the road and refused to drive anymore.

"You say it first, what else do you have to say?"

"Old brother me is old, can't stand your scare, if I get a heart attack, you can't run away. To tell you the truth, the project must be started immediately, I have already talked to the Agricultural Development Bank, people said, as long as we start work, it doesn't matter how much loan we want." Qian Youyu is now in high spirits, bold and generous: "With money, we must quickly do market promotion, occupy the provincial market within three years, and occupy half of the country within five years."

I had to pretend to smile and say: "I lied to you, how could I be transferred? Don't worry! Besides, even if I'm not there, it has nothing to do with the project. Isn't Secretary Guo also watching?"

Qian Youyu also pretended to smile and said: "I can't trust Little Secretary Guo! You are not there, the project is dead. Old saying, a new emperor, a new courtier, the emperor is gone, how do you let the courtiers live?"

I was speechless. Qian Youyu is sure of me, tying me to the mineral water factory project. It seems that I want to transfer, things are not as simple as I thought.

I had to comfort him: "Old Qian, things haven't reached the last step yet."

Qian Youyu's mood was obviously incomparably lost, and he sighed: "It's not that I think too much. Doing business and being a person are the same truth. Being a person pays attention to the three outlines and five constants, and doing things must have a good beginning and a good end."

I laughed: "Old Qian, I can't see that you have a belly full of frogs."

Qian Youyu glanced at me and said: "I am not confused."

I nodded and admitted.

After talking for a while, Qian Youyu finally started the car, almost not opening his mouth to speak all the way. I was happy to close my eyes and rest, galloping all the way to Chunshan County.

Sleeping in the county reception house that night, before getting up in the morning, the secretary of County Magistrate Liu called, saying that the county magistrate was waiting for me in the office.

I thought in my heart that Liu Qimeng looking for me so early, it must be nothing good.

Sure enough, County Magistrate Liu threw the transfer order in front of me, with a dark face and said: "Chen Feng, you have also learned to run for official positions!"

I was aggrieved, but didn't dare to argue, so I had to honestly put my hands close to the trouser seams, respectfully standing in front of him waiting for his lecture.

County Magistrate Liu saw my pitiful appearance, eased the look on his face, and said hatefully: "You have been in Chunshan County for six years, and your work has just started to improve. Now that you are transferred, what will others say?"

I stammered: "It's not that I want to transfer."

"Not you, could it be me?" The county magistrate's anger came again, patting the table and saying: "Do you know? Once you leave, the mineral water factory matter will be yellow, the mineral water factory will be yellow, what will the Suxi town move? Move a chaotic piano!"

"What does the water factory matter have to do with me?" I asked hesitantly.

"You know in your heart." The county magistrate sighed: "In this day and age, people have become unrecognizable. Your Boss Qian, just recognized you, you leave and he withdraws capital, it has become what it is."

As soon as I heard it, I knew that Qian Youyu was really not joking, this guy must have looked for County Magistrate Liu.

Thinking of this, I felt relaxed instead, and said with a cheeky face: "County Magistrate, you know, doing business depends on policy, not on anyone. Whether I am there or not, it has nothing to do with the project, the policy should be the same, what is he worried about."

"You go tell him, as long as he agrees, I will let you go, if he doesn't agree, you want to go, there is no door." The county magistrate waved his hand and said: "You go out, I get annoyed when I see you."

I had to sneak out, just walked to the door, saw Qian Youyu smoking and looking at me with a smile, I was so angry that I stared at him and cursed: "Qian Youyu, you have seeds."

Qian Youyu leaned over with a smile, handed me a cigarette and said: "It's just like that, it hasn't opened yet, first loss a general, how can there be such a war."

"Fight your head!" I cursed: "I'm not doing business, I don't care what kind of war you fight."

"I know you are an official." Qian Youyu pretended to be surprised and said: "If an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Isn't it? Town Mayor Chen."

I was dumbfounded, cursed and took a big puff of cigarette, sprayed it on his face, he turned sideways to avoid it, still smiling and saying: "We are all people on the same boat, rowing together is powerful. Where are you hiding."

I know that wanting to persuade Qian Youyu back, there is no door! But if I can't persuade Qian Youyu, my other door is also closed!

Damn! Better to live than to die! I roared at Qian Youyu: "Qian Youyu, you nouveau riche, I'm not leaving, you treat me tonight, eat seafood!"

Qian Youyu nodded hurriedly: "Good good good, eating seafood is good, you want me to kill a bear to eat tonight, old man will also kill."

"Help me call Secretary Huang." I fell into his car, closed the door fiercely, and closed my eyes without looking at him.

Qian Youyu got into the car, leaned close to me and said: "You go to be a highway bird official, that is self-destruction. You don't go to think, how many cadres in Central Province have fallen on the highway? Where is a prison that can't be seen! Old brother me is saving you. Understand."

"Roll!" I popped a word from my teeth.

"Good good good, I won't say it. Think about it yourself." Qian Youyu started the car, and after driving for a while, he said mysteriously: "When I was doing carpentry work in an old cadre's house in the past, I heard such a story, saying that in ancient times, an old guy bought a good horse, and he hadn't ridden it once, the horse was stolen by a thief, it was hard to find it back, the old guy just climbed up, as a result, the horse ran, and his legs were broken."

I interrupted him: "The old man lost his horse, how can he know the blessing or misfortune."

"Right right right, that's what it means." Qian Youyu patted the steering wheel: "Still you people with culture have a high level, and you said this sentence at once. Actually, I told such a story, brother, you should understand a little bit."

"What do you mean?" I looked at him hesitantly.

"Nothing." Qian Youyu stopped laughing, his expression became solemn, and his serious appearance made me laugh.

"Are you hinting at me?"

"No, no. I am a rough man, what kind of fart hint do I know. You officials are all managed by the organization, what a person does, where he does it, the official knows clearly in his heart. The organization will not let a talented person be buried, nor will it let a mediocre person be promoted."

I sneered: "These words, I'm afraid you didn't say them, right?"

Qian Youyu turned his head to look at me, turned the topic and asked me: "What is Secretary Huang's phone number?"

"Don't know."

"How do I find it?" Qian Youyu was dumbfounded: "You want me to invite him, but don't tell me the phone number, this is not embarrassing me?"

"Aren't you very capable? Inviting someone, will it stump you?" I continued to sneer.

Qian Youyu stopped talking, his eyes looked at the front quietly, driving the car steadily, and drove towards the seafood restaurant on Deng Hanyu's territory in Chengguan Town. ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
