Chapter 286 Mysterious Box

Recently, Yao Ze slept when he was bedside, and always had the same dream. In the dark space, the weird old doctor, and some inexplicable words made Yao Ze feel very mysterious, which was similar to the dream when he was injured and unconscious.

Yao Ze is a party member, an atheist, and never believes in the sayings of ghosts and gods. However, the dream he has had is too bizarre. He dreams of the same thing every day, more than once or twice, so it is not as simple as a coincidence.

Yao Ze still decided to go to the small clinic in Li Meilian's community to meet the weird old doctor for a while and have the same dream every day. Could it be that he would have a bad intention for himself?

While thinking, the office door was gently knocked. Yao Ze came to his senses, put down the pen in his hand, then sat up straight, and said, "Please come in."

Secretary Xiao Qin gently pushed the door open and said to Yao Ze with a respectful look: "County Magistrate Yao, Director of Investment and Merchants said that there are some things to report to you, please see..."

"Let him come in." Yao Ze had some impression of the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau. When he was transferred to the county, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau came to visit him. He was tall and had a fat head and big ears. However, his words and actions made people unable to find any problems. He was a versatile type.

Yao Ze was thinking that the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau had already walked in with a smile. Although he was tall and fat, he walked lightly. He might be trying to lower his posture in front of the leader and give him a good impression. "County Magistrate Yao, I'm so embarrassed, didn't disturb your work?"

Yao Ze smiled and waved his hand, and said with a kind look: "Don't say anything to disturb you. Isn't my job just for you? I wonder what happened to Director Zhou came here today?" At this time, Xiao Qin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Xiangming, and then added some hot water to Yao Ze's cup before quietly retreating.

Seeing Xiao Qin bringing the office door, Zhou Xiangming stood up with a little sad face, handed Yao Ze a cigarette, and then took out a lighter to help Yao Ze light the cigarette. Yao Ze smiled and said, "I have a lighter here, Director Zhou doesn't have to be so polite." As he said that, Yao Ze lit the cigarette.

Zhou Xiangming smiled angrily, stepped back to the sofa opposite and sat down, then lit a cigarette for himself, took a sip, sighed quietly, and said with some depression: "County Magistrate Yao, I, the director of the Investment and Merchants Bureau, are so frustrated!"

Seeing Zhou Xiangming's expression in a miserable expression, Yao Ze probably guessed his purpose. The China Merchants Association has been applying for a recruitment fee recently to attract investment, but the application was rejected several times, on the grounds that the funds were arranged and they could not be misappropriated at will.

Zhou Xiangming naturally would not believe such perfunctory words, so he found Secretary Guo Shouyi. Guo Shouyi had been beaten by Yao Ze and County Mayor Li Changan during this period and was defeated step by step. He was filled with anger. Zhou Xiangming was angry. What is the difference between complaining to him and adding fuel to the fire? After hearing Zhou Xiangming's complaints, Guo Shouyi turned against him on the spot and angrily accused Zhou Xiangming of not realizing and not doing serious things. He always thought about exploiting the government and asking for money. What else can he do except money in his mind?

Zhou Xiangming's face turned blue when he was scolded by Guo Shouyi, and he was so angry that he trembled but did not dare to show it on his face. He thought in anger, could the China Merchants Association do work without money? How can he attract investment without money? What can he do if he doesn't attract investment?

However, Zhou Xianming just thought about these words. He would never dare to say it in front of Guo Shouyi, a irritable secretary. After being scolded by Guo Shouyi, he withdrew from the secretary's office in shame. He left like this, but he was really frustrated. Thinking that Li Changan and Yao Ze and Guo Shouyi were inconsistent, he ran to Li Changan to complain. After being comforted by Li Changan, Zhou Xianming immediately came to Yao Ze again and said the same complaints on Li Changan just now.

"Director Zhou, why are you, the Director of the Investment and Merchants Bureau, so you feel so frustrated? Let's hear it." Yao Ze took a sip of cigarettes, then picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, with a smile on his face, and asked Zhou Xiangming with interest.

"County Magistrate Yao, what is the focus of our investment bureau? Isn't it just to help the government attract investment and attract more foreign investors to invest in our county?"

Yao Ze nodded with a smile, "This is understandable, but what does it have to do with your depressed affliction?"

Zhou Xiangming said: "Adding investment requires financial expenses. The bureau is now a little short of money. I thought about applying for a fund from the government for investment, but the Finance and Economic Affairs Bureau refused for various reasons. County Magistrate Yao said that they are all working for the country and want to improve the economy of our county. I applied for the funds here and did not put them in my own pocket. Why can't I get support? I want to do my best to do my best for the government, but the government does not support me, so how can I carry out my work?"

Seeing Zhou Xiangming talking, his face turned red and his heart was very resentful. Yao Ze smiled and said, "Director Zhou, please calm down and drink a little tea first."

Zhou Xiangming felt that he had lost his composure, so he smiled angrily, his face relaxed a little, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm so sorry, I let County Magistrate Yao hear such a big complaint."

"Director Zhou's activities are not enough, so it is understandable to apply for funds from the government. However, the financial department has arranged every amount of money the government needs, and suddenly applying for funds from them is indeed a bit tricky for them. Let's do this. Director Zhou, go back first and do your job well in the next few days. If your investment and promotion agency can bring investors to our county, I will discuss the amount you applied for with the secretary and county magistrate and try to cooperate with your work."

Seeing Yao Ze agreeing so readily, Zhou Xiangming was a little surprised. After a moment of frightening, his eyes suddenly felt like a bright look and he thanked him happily: "County Magistrate Yao, thank you so much, thank you for your support."

Yao Ze smiled, "Don't thank you too early. I said just now that it's understandable to apply for the money, but the money must be used on the edge. If you can recruit investors from other places, the amount of money will naturally be fine, but if you can't recruit, I won't count today."

"Cheng, Cheng, no problem." Zhou Xiangming smiled and nodded repeatedly. Zhou Xiangming went to the city for a meeting some time ago and happened to meet a famous real estate developer. He said that he had the opportunity to invest in and open a factory in Tangshan County. Of course, Zhou Xiangming couldn't ask for it, so both parties left their phone numbers. During this period, Zhou Xiangming had been in contact with the merchant. Today, after hearing Yao Ze's promise, Zhou Xiangming thought to himself that he would work harder after he went back and try to get the merchant to the county to open a factory.

After Zhou Xiangming left, Yao Ze went to Li Chang'an's office and exchanged views with Li Chang'an. The two agreed. As long as they could really bring investment to the county, the money was a trivial matter.

After get off work, Yao Ze stopped Xiang Chengdong from sending him back to the guesthouse, and he recruited a taxi on the side of the road and went to Li Meixi's community.

With the reflection, Yao Ze found the small clinic where Li Meilian treated her foot injury. "Is anyone here?" Yao Ze walked in carefully and shouted.

"Wait a minute, come soon." A man's voice came from inside. Soon, the curtain of the room in the small clinic was lifted up. A middle-aged man in a white coat walked out, looked at Yao Ze, and smiled and said, "Where is the sir?"

Yao Ze reached out and handed over the cigarette. The doctor waved his hand and said he would not smoke. Yao Ze lit one for himself, then surrounded the small clinic for a week, and said with a smile: "I'm not here, are you the only one here?"

"Yes, I'm the only one, is there anything wrong?" The doctor looked at Yao Ze with a puzzled look.

"Don't you have a..." Yao Ze didn't know how to describe the weird doctor. After thinking about it, he said directly: "Didn't this clinic be run by an old man?"

"Old man? Are you talking about Mr. Fan?"

"I don't know if his surname is Fan. I treated my foot injury here some time ago. It was him who treated it. It seemed that you were not there at that time!" Yao Ze said.

"You are talking about Mr. Fan, right." Hearing Yao Ze say this, the man laughed, "Old Fan has a very good medical skills. I don't know what you have to do with him, so he left some time ago."

"Leave?" Yao Ze's face was strange. Could that dream be real?

"Then has he... left anything?" Yao Ze asked nervously.

The middle-aged doctor looked at Yao Ze vigilantly and asked, "Who are you and what's your name?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I can tell you if there are not many names. My name is Yao Ze. What did the old man leave before he left?" Yao Ze asked again.

If you didn't have that dream, this kind of question would seem a bit weird. You are not familiar with the old man at all. It would be a bit funny to ask if you have anything left for you.

"Are you really Yao Ze?" The middle-aged doctor looked at Yao Ze carefully, and after a while, he reached out and said, "Take your ID card and take a look."

"Is there something to keep for me? It's too mysterious." Yao Ze's heart skipped a beat, took out his wallet from his wallet, then took out his ID card from his wallet and handed it to the middle-aged doctor.

After carefully examining the appearance of the ID card and Yao Ze, the middle-aged doctor found out that the young man in front of him was Yao Ze. Then he nodded with a smile and returned the ID card to Yao Ze, and said apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Fan repeatedly told me before leaving that only Yao Ze himself can take it out. You can wait here and I'll pick it up for you right away."

After saying that, the middle-aged doctor walked into the house again. After a rumbling sound, the middle-aged doctor walked out in a quaint sandalwood box, and then carefully handed it to Yao Ze and said, "This is what Mr. Fan left behind, for you."

Yao Ze reached out and took it. Seeing that the box was locked, he asked, "Do you have no key?"

The middle-aged doctor shook his head, "He didn't hand over the key to me, he just told me to give you the box."

"It's really strange." Yao Ze thought in his heart what was going on when he gave himself this ancient box but didn't give him the key to unlock the lock.

"Have you left anything before the old man left?" Yao Ze held the box in his hand and continued to ask.

The middle-aged doctor replied: "Mr. Fan just explained before leaving. If you can leave the market in the future, you can open the second box."

"Leave the market?" Yao Ze was confused and asked, "What does it mean?"

"I don't know this anymore. I just conveyed his original words."

Yao Ze had too many questions in his heart, but he knew that the middle-aged man must have no idea anything, so he didn't plan to ask any further. To be on the safe side, Yao Ze asked about the relationship between the middle-aged man and the old man. The middle-aged doctor smiled and said that when he was seriously ill, Mr. Fan cured his strange disease and taught him some medical skills. He had endless kindness to repay Mr. Fan. Knowing the meaning of Yao Ze's question, the middle-aged doctor smiled and asked him to rest assured. He must have been in his heart.

After leaving the clinic with great worries, Yao Ze walked towards Li Meilian's unit building.
